Baseball Betting - Tuesday MLB picks

If the Wimbledon odds aren't your cup of tea, why not kick back and make some Tuesday baseball picks? Check out these MLB lines and predictions.

Phillies vs Rays odds

Tuesday, June 23, 7:08 p.m. ET
Jamie Moyer (4-6, 6.35) vs David Price (1-1, 3.46)

MLB betting lines: Phillies +140, Rays -160

As exciting as David Price is as a pitcher—you have to love the 30 strikeouts in 26 innings if you're an online betting fan—the rookie remains extremely erratic. He has an astronomical 18 walks in those 26 innings this season and that lack of control could really hurt him against the powerful Phillies Wednesday night—enough to make Philadelphia a good upset pick.

Jamie Moyer's age is really showing this season, but most of his struggles come at home. He's been serviceable on the road and, when he faced Tampa in the World Series, he kept ball in the park and didn't allow a hit to Evan Longoria or Carlos Pena. If he can repeat that performance or come close to it, the Phillies could surprise.

Daily sports pick: Phillies +140

Cardinals vs Mets odds
Tuesday, June 23, 7:10 PM ET
Joel Pineiro (5-8, 3.77) vs Livan Hernandez (5-1, 4.18)
MLB betting lines: Cardinals -115, Mets -105

You may want to pick over the total in your MLB predictions here. According to most betting software analyses, Joel Pineiro is in for a rough night. He's been great at home but he struggles on the road with a 2-5 record and 5.27 ERA, so he could be in trouble, even if the Mets' lineup is that much more depleted with Carlos Beltran joining Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado on the DL. Livan Hernandez pitches well at Citi Field, but color me skeptical; he still allows homers like few other pitchers and Albert Pujols could go yard off Cy Young himself right now. He also owns Hernandez with a .344 average, three homers and a 1.042 OPS in 32 at bats. I like the Cards.
