Best MLB Bets Today May 19

The Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers have been two of the most disappointing teams in the league this season. They were playoff teams last season, but have watched their records continue to plummet in May. Below, we’ll share our favorite bet for their matchup tonight, along with two other bets that we are locking in. 

The odds we use are taken from Caesars Sportsbook. If you’d like to try Caesars, use promo code WSNDYW to claim a “Bet $1, Get Ten 100% Profit Boost Tokens” offer.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Milwaukee Brewers (7:40 PM EST)

Run LineSpreadMoneylineTotal
Orioles -1.5 (+162)+100Over 8.5 (-110)
Brewers+1.5 (-195)-120Under 8.5 (-110)

PICK: Brewers ML (-120) at Caesars Sportsbook

Watching the Orioles go from being a World Series contender to having the second-lowest winning percentage in the AL has been stunning. The team has gone 3-12 in May and is coming off consecutive sweeps at the hands of the Twins and Nationals. Milwaukee isn’t much better, but their advantage on the mound will make the difference tonight.

The Brew Crew will be sending Quinn Priester (1-2, 4.59 ERA, 1.56 WHIP) out to the mound to start tonight’s game. The 24-year-old’s ERA is inflated by a couple of bad outings and his inability to go deep into games. However, he has allowed one or fewer earned runs in four of his seven starts. We like him to deliver another tonight against an Orioles lineup that has been bad all season.

Baltimore will turn to Dean Kremer (3-5, 5.36 ERA, 1.31 WHIP) to start opposite Priester. The veteran was settling in earlier this month after posting a  6.75 ERA in April. We saw that wasn’t the case in the righty’s last start, where he allowed the Twins to score four runs on seven hits and two walks over 5 ⅔ innings. 

Milwaukee’s lineup has been in a significant slump, but that will change against a struggling Kremer, against whom they own a .321 average.

New York Mets vs. Boston Red Sox (6:45 PM EST)

Run LineSpreadMoneylineTotal
Mets-1.5 (+115)-140Over 9 (-115)
Red Sox+1.5 (-135)+118Under 9 (-105)

PICK: Mets -1.5 (+115) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Mets have enjoyed a fantastic start to the season, and Kodai Senga (4-2, 1.02 ERA, 1.17 WHIP) is a big reason why. The righty has been the best pitcher in the league, and has allowed just one run over three starts this month (0.57 ERA). On the season, he has held opponents scoreless in five starts.

The Red Sox come into this series having lost five of their previous six. Tonight’s starter, Hunter Dobbins (2-1, 3.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP), has played a role in this losing streak. While he delivered a gem two weeks ago, he has allowed nine runs over 10 2/3 innings. The rookie will struggle again tonight against a Mets lineup featuring some dangerous bats. 

Once Dobbins exits the game, he’ll be turning things over to a Boston Bullpen that has been unreliable over the last week.

Kansas City Royals vs. San Francisco Giants (9:45 PM EST)

Run LineSpreadMoneylineTotal
Royals-1.5 (+170)+110Over 9.5 (-110)
Giants+1.5 (-205)-130Under 9.5 (-110)

PICK: Under 9.5 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook

Royals starter Kris Bubic (4-2, 1.66 ERA, 1.10 WHIP) has continued to thrive as a part of the rotation in 2025. He has a 0.49 ERA in May, allowing just one run over three starts. The lefty has also been going deeper into games, lasting more than six innings in two consecutive games. We expect him to do so again tonight.

The Giants will have Robbie Ray (6-0, 3.04 ERA, 1.25 WHIP) starting tonight. The 33-year-old has bounced back in a big way this season, and has delivered four consecutive quality starts. We expect his impressive play to continue against a Royals team that has a .584 OPS over the last week. 

With two hot starters and reliable bullpens backing them up, we are all over this bet for tonight.
