Just 10 games are scheduled for May 6 in Major League Baseball, highlighted by a key divisional matchup between the Tigers and Guardians, as well as the conclusion of the Giants/Phillies series in Philadelphia. So, what are some interesting plays on the 6th? Here are our best MLB bets for May 6, 2024.
Our best bets for May 6
Here’s a look at our best MLB bets for May 6 (odds via BetMGM New York Sportsbook):
- Luis Castillo over 6.5 strikeouts (-140)
- Rangers ML (-135)
Luis Castillo hit the over on strikeouts against the Braves on April 30 when he struck out seven, a win for us that day. It was yet another strong performance for Castillo, who’s rounded into form in recent weeks as he’s struck out seven or more in three of his previous four starts.
Castillo gets another favorable matchup on May 6, albeit one on the road. He’ll face the Twins, a team prone to missing at the plate this season despite their lengthy win streak that was snapped yesterday. Minnesota owns a 27.4% Whiff% rate in 2024, the eighth-worst in the Majors.
As for our second pick, we like Andrew Heaney and the Rangers to take their game tonight against the A’s,
Heaney pitched very well in his last outing, as he yielded just one run and struck out four against the Nationals on May 1. Texas will face Alex Wood, who owns a 1.98 WHIP on the season and has given up three or more earned runs in four of seven outings this season.
Look at May 5’s picks
