MLB Betting - Tuesday Baseball Picks

As NFL betting fans prepare for an exciting year in the NFC North, it's fitting that Minnesota and Chicago clash this week in a crucial MLB series. Let's forecast tomorrow's White Sox/Twins tilt, along with another important matchup.

Chicago White Sox @ Minnesota Twins

Tuesday, July 28, 8:10 p.m. ET

Mark Buehrle (11-3, 3.28) vs Scott Baker (8-7, 5.04)


You'll be lucky to see a single batter walked in Tuesday's Sox/Twins baseball lines. Both Buehrle and Baker are known for their outstanding control and both are pitching well of late. Baker has won six of seven decisions, while Buehrle threw a perfect game (and his second career no-hitter) in his last start. He's also allowed three or fewer runs six times in his last seven starts.

The edge goes to the White Sox because their potent lineup has Scott Baker's number. They've faced him twice this year and scored nine runs in 11 innings. Baker's also had trouble with the long ball this season and that doesn't bode well against the likes of Carlos Quentin, Jermaine Dye and Jim Thome.

MLB prediction: White Sox

Los Angeles Dodgers @ St. Louis Cardinals

Tuesday, July 28, 8:15 p.m. ET

Chad Billingsley (10-5, 3.72) vs Adam Wainwright (11-6, 2.95)


Aside from his most recent start, Chad Billingsley has really struggled in July. My guess is that he's fatigued, as he seems to top 100 pitches in every start. Even if he finds his groove in
St. Louis, the Cards can feel confident sending Adam Wainwright to the hill. He's 3-1 with a 1.41 ERA this month, so the Cards are the best betting management pick on Tuesday night.
