The 2022 Major League Baseball campaign has been up and down thus far, with familiar faces mixing it up with unsuspecting challengers in the early stages of the year.
The National League West is already asserting its dominance with four teams at records of 10-7 or better, while the reigning World Series champion Atlanta Braves are struggling at 7-10.
Monday’s schedule is slightly abridged compared to the weekend, but there is still plenty of action for bettors to pick from; here are the best over/unders.
San Francisco Giants vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Best Bet: Over 7 Runs
Any time there is a seven on the over/under list, there is a strong likelihood it is going to hit.
This game pits two teams with excellent defenses and strong starting pitchers against one another, which is why the total is so low— but for how much the Brewers have struggled to score runs and typically drag teams into low-scoring affairs, the Giants are fourth in total scoring.
Sam Long, San Fran’s starting pitcher, is yet to throw more than two consecutive innings, meaning they will not have a dependable starter to carry the game to the under.
On top of all that, the Giants just scored 12 against the Washington Nationals their last time out. Granted, the Brewers have a better rotation of pitchers, but all the Giants need to do to hold up their half is score three-and-a-half runs. This total is just too low to pass up on, so take the over here.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs Arizona Diamondbacks
Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks Prediction
Best Bet: Under 9 Runs
The Dodgers and Diamondbacks have been awarded a projected total of nine runs, which is downright insulting in a game featuring Walker Buehler, regardless of if his start to the year has been suboptimal.
Buehler is one of the best talents the game has seen in recent years, and to add on, his counterpart in Merrill Kelly, has a 0.59 ERA across three starts this season.
L.A. is second-best in total scoring, whereas Arizona is fourth-worst; if this game is to go over, it will be because the Dodgers carry it that far, but their lack of explosive scoring should be enough to keep it just under as the starting pitchers do their jobs and preserve their ERAs.
Boston Red Sox vs Toronto Blue Jays
Red Sox vs. Blue Jays Prediction
Best Bet: Under 8 Runs
Last year’s logic would dictate that bettors put their entire house on the over and never look back— however, this season is quite different from what MLB fans grew accustomed to.
Both the Blue Jays and Red Sox have been lower-scoring teams thus far, at least in terms of explosive outings, and are middle-of-the-pack in total runs.
To add to that, both teams have two of their best pitchers starting for them: Nathan Eovaldi and Jose Berrios.
Neither one has been brilliant thus far, but each team’s inconsistencies at the plate should be enough to carry the game under as one team wins decisively while the other misfires. Which team will end up filling each role remains to be seen.
