Here's my best MLB prediction tonight. Check out the rest of our MLB picks along with our guide on how to bet on MLB.

⚾ Chris Sale (Braves) Under 7.5 strikeouts ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +100 via bet365 (bet $10 to win $10)

As a Red Sox fan, it both pains me and brings a smile to my face to see Sale thriving with the Braves. After struggling with injuries and consistency during his last few years in Boston, the lanky southpaw has been one of the best starters in baseball again this season following his NL Cy Young campaign last year.

Though Sale is the second-best starter in the majors by K/9 and the seventh-best by strikeout rate, I'm fading him today.

Why? Well, first, this is a big number for any pitcher. Sale is projected to have a strong performance on the mound tonight, and yet his 6.71 strikeout projection isn't even close to the eight he'd need to go Over this total.

Second, we're getting a great price here. bet365 is offering us +100 odds while our other best sports betting sites are all at minus money, with FanDuel as short as -122. I'd play this Under to right around that number and leave it alone if it gets any shorter than -125.
