There's a full slate and then some on Tuesday thanks to a doubleheader, and we're offering our top MLB player props and expert picks based on the best MLB odds.
We're being treated to 16 MLB games on Tuesday, and the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers kick off the action with the first game of their doubleheader. First pitch for that contest is expected for 3:40 p.m. ET.
Following that, we move to an AL East battle featuring two World Series odds favorites, as the New York Yankees visit the Baltimore Orioles. There will be no shortage of star power when that game gets underway at 6:35 p.m. ET, with a handful of MLB MVP odds favorites duking it out.
There are plenty of late games for West Coasters (or just night owls on the East Coast) too. The second showdown between the Atlanta Braves and Seattle Mariners highlights the later contests, with first pitch coming at 9:40 p.m. ET.
Here are our MLB player props and expert picks for Tuesday (MLB picks based on odds via our
best MLB betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Cleveland Guardians veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco is less so “Cookie” and more like a dried-up, dusty biscuit at this point in his career. The once-perennial Cy Young contender owns a 4.63 ERA in 2024, and he's striking out only 7.71 batters per nine innings to go along with 5.01 walks per nine.
Carrasco faces the Houston Astros on Tuesday, who sit last in the AL West with a 9-19 record. However, the offense has mostly held up its end of the bargain, as Houston's hitters easily own the lowest strikeout rate in the majors and the fifth-highest wRC+.

Carrasco's strikeout projection on Tuesday is 3.15, based on the average from two of our trusted models. With that in mind, we're getting roughly 22% positive expected value on this bet.
bet365 is the only one of our best sports betting sites offering even-money odds for this Under, while Pinnacle – which features one of the most respected trading teams in the sports betting industry – is already pricing its Under at -127.

Unlike Carrasco, Spencer Turnbull is enjoying the best season of his career. The Philadelphia Phillies right-hander owns a sparkling 1.33 ERA and is striking out 10 batters per nine.
However, Turnbull didn't pitch at all in 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and he managed only 31 innings in 2023 due to another serious injury. There have been multiple reports that he's heading back to the bullpen soon with Taijuan Walker returning for the Phillies, and the team will likely want to closely monitor (read: limit) his innings.

Therefore, Turnbull may last only four or five innings in this one, and that plays a huge role in why he's projected for just 4.39 punchouts on Tuesday. Based on that projection, we're getting roughly 43% +EV on this bet, as BetMGM is the only one of our best sports betting apps offering plus money for this Under.
Meanwhile, Pinnacle is already as short as -121 after opening at +108.
Best odds: +105 via BetMGM
