Best MLB Bets Today: Can the Jays Figure Out Fried?

After a rough start to the season, Yankees’ starter Max Fried has looked like one of the best acquisitions of the offseason. He’ll look to stay hot today against a division rival, and we’re betting on him to deliver another gem.

Below, we’ll share our favorite bet for Fried and the Yankees today, along with two others we are locking in today. The odds we use below are taken from Caesars Sportsbook.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Detroit Tigers (1:10 PM EST)

Tigers -1.5 (+150) at Caesars Sportsbook

This could be the easiest money you’ll make this weekend. The Orioles continue to struggle badly, with their record falling further and further behind the rest of the AL East. They lost the series to the Reds and Nationals over the last week, and things will be even more challenging as they head to take on a far better Tigers team.

Detroit has been fantastic at home this season, including in their previous series against San Diego. They took two of the three games, outscoring a great Padres team 12-6. With their bats getting hot and the bullpen dominating, this Tigers team has the look of a World Series contender. 

The Tigers have opened the season with one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. That includes tonight’s starter, Casey Mize (3-1, 2.22 ERA, 0.95 WHIP). The 27-year-old looks vastly improved in 2025, allowing one or no runs in three of his four starts. 

The Orioles have a .208 average against Mize, and that won’t change with the pitcher taking a step forward this season.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Minnesota Twins (2:10 PM EST)

Angels ML (+110) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Twins have been one of the worst teams in baseball, and one reason for that will be on the mound tonight. Minnesota starter Simeon Woods Richardson is in the midst of a sophomore season after a strong rookie campaign in 2024. He has pitched just 19 innings over four starts this season, allowing 25 hits and six walks.

The Angels' lineup has been ice cold, which is why we aren’t committing to the run line here. While almost every hitter is struggling, Zach Neto appears to be finding his swing. The 24-year-old showed his potential to be a superstar last season, hitting 23 home runs with 77 RBIs and 30 stolen bases.

Expect Neto to lead the effort tonight, helping the Angels do just enough to support Yusei Kikuchi (0-3, 3.38 ERA, 1.26 WHIP). The lefty has looked sharp over his last two starts, allowing one earned run over 11 ⅓ innings. While he has struggled a bit with walks, the Twins have the fifth-fewest in the league (72), so don’t expect that to hurt him tonight.
