April 2 was a strange day in Major League Baseball, highlighted by an uncharacteristic performance from an AL Cy Young favorite, rain in Philadelphia and New York, and a cold day for the Braves’ bats. So, what’s on tap for April 3? Here’s a look at our best MLB bet picks for April 3, 2024.
Our best bets for April 3
Here’s a look at our best MLB bet picks for April 3 (odds via BetMGM New York Sportsbook):
- Ross Stripling under 15.5 outs (-135)
- Rockies/Cubs over 7 runs (-120)
Just one Athletics pitcher — Paul Blackburn — has thrown more than 5.1 IP during a start this season. Stripling went five innings in his first game of 2024 and he won’t have it easy against the Red Sox today.
As for our second pick, the Rockies have conceded the second-most earned runs (44) in the league to this date and will send sinkerballer Cal Quantrill to the mound on April 3.
Quantrill gave up five earned in his last start.
