Best Major League Baseball bets for Saturday

Public betting info, plus best bets via THE BAT X projection system

Happy Saturday, everyone!

It’s a great weekend of sports on tap, with the Wimbledon Finals, Euro 2024 and Copa America Finals and NBA Summer League, to go with the usual other medley of sports — including Major League Baseball, of course.

I’ve been working on my annual NFL Quarterback ATS Rankings the past month or so, and I’m looking forward to releasing them this week. It’s one of my favorite pieces of content — and one that I believe has a lot of utility for bettors — so I hope you enjoy it. Here is last year’s version.

My Substack now features a daily piece from Derek Carty from THE BAT X. They have a terrific and respected projection model, which provides a ton of great info for bettors to consider before making daily MLB bets. They’ll also recommend a few wagers every day exclusively for my subscribers. Hopefully, you’ve been enjoying the daily articles and have been getting value from them before you place your wagers.

Be sure to check out all of their content here.

Enjoy!
