Published · Auto-generated from the model
The algorithm sorted every game for Wednesday, August 12, 2026 by edge. These rose to the top.
1. Baltimore Orioles at Minnesota Twins — BAL +1.5 Strong
Comparing our projected margin to the posted line of -1.5 for the home team surfaces a gap the model wants to bet. The recommendation is BAL +1.5, an edge of about 1.5 runs in our favor. For the over/under, our pace-adjusted projection lands near 8.6 runs against the posted 14.5. That points to the Under 14.5, with about 5.9 runs of under edge.

2. Philadelphia Phillies at St. Louis Cardinals — PHI +1.5 Strong
Where the book sits at -1.5 on STL, our simulation disagrees by enough to make this a live run line play. The recommendation is PHI +1.5, an edge of about 1.9 runs in our favor. On the total, the model projects around 8.4 combined runs versus a market number of 6.5. That points to the Over 6.5, with about 1.9 runs of over edge.

3. Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks — COL +1.5 Strong
Where the book sits at -1.5 on ARI, our simulation disagrees by enough to make this a live run line play. The recommendation is COL +1.5, an edge of about 0.4 runs in our favor. Totals-wise, the simulation expects roughly 11.2 runs while the book has hung 9. That points to the Over 9, with about 2.2 runs of over edge.

4. Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres — SD +1.5 Strong
Where the book sits at 1.5 on SD, our simulation disagrees by enough to make this a live run line play. The recommendation is SD +1.5, an edge of about 1.7 runs in our favor. For the over/under, our pace-adjusted projection lands near 8.0 runs against the posted 8. That's too tight to bet with confidence — the total is best left alone here.

5. Cleveland Guardians at Detroit Tigers — CLE +1.5 Strong
The market opened at -1.5 on the home side, but our projected margin is far enough from that number to flag value. The recommendation is CLE +1.5, an edge of about 1.6 runs in our favor. Totals-wise, the simulation expects roughly 7.9 runs while the book has hung 8. That's too tight to bet with confidence — the total is best left alone here.
