MLB Expert Picks for Saturday, May 4
Our VI baseball betting experts have compiled their MLB picks for Saturday, May 4 and they're focusing on the matchups below:
- Detroit Tigers vs New York Yankees (1:05 p.m. ET)
- Baltimore Orioles vs Cincinnati Reds (6:40 p.m. ET)
Tigers vs Yankees Free Picks
The New York Yankees host the Detroit Tigers in an early Saturday showdown here.
Clarke Schmidt has big splits on first/second half of the season. He is much better in the early part of the season. The same is true for Casey Mize. Schmidt has been much better pitching at home. Mize is actually better in his young career on the road.
The Tigers have seen only three of their last nine games go above this total. Four of the Yankees last five games have finished with six runs or fewer.
The wind is expected to be blowing in at about 11 mph from right center field during this game. The wind does play a role in games at this stadium.
Ryan Blakeney is a strike caller behind the plate. He has a strikeout/walk ratio this year of an insanely high 4.42. He is a plus for the under.
Take the under.
Orioles vs Reds Free Picks
John Means has gotten the call from the injured list to replace a hurting Grayson Rodriguez in the Baltimore rotation.
Means did feature briefly at AAA Norfolk earlier in April and pitched seven shutout innings in his most-recent appearance, and has much familiarity in the Baltimore rotation.
Cole Irvin and the bullpen shut down the Reds last night to improve to an AL-best 9-4 on the road, and Cincy starter Andrew Abbott off of a very bumpy start in his last outing on Sunday at Texas (four runs and six hits allowed in 5 1/3 IP, including a pair of homers, in an eventual 4-3 Reds loss).

Free MLB Money Line Picks
Looking for a straight up winner? The Vegas Insider MLB Money Line Picks focuses on just picking the winner. It's as simple as that and knowing that there's no clock in baseball, your wagers are never losers until the final out is punched. Our Free MLB Money Line Picks are known for their value, especially when our stable of experts lay into some live underdogs.
Free MLB Run-Line Picks
Run-Line Picks is MLB can be viewed as ATS or Against the Spread Picks since a spread or in this case, a run-line is involved. Oddsmakers always open run-line spreads as -1.5 or +1.5 and then there is money associated with each run-line spread. Instead of backing a heavy money-line favorite, bettors have the option to back that team to win by two or more runs at a lower price. When taking the underdog at the +1.5 price, your wager can still lose the game outright but if it stays within the spread (1.5) then you'll be okay. Our MLB Run Line Free Picks will feature a selection either on the favorite or the underdog and will include betting analysis on how to lay or take the points.
Free MLB Over Under Totals Picks
If you’re undecided on MLB ML or MLB Run Line Free Picks, you must be a Totals bettor and our Free MLB Over Under Totals Picks allow you to cheer for either a slugfest at the ballpark or a great pitching battle. Everybody loves the longball and cheering for an Over is much more fun but that doesn’t prevent our experts from playing the Under in our Free MLB Picks page and look for strikeouts. All selections featured in the MLB Over Under Totals Picks include betting analysis and tips on how to find the best markets.
