I know, Friday feels like it was seven NBA bets ago, but it is still worth mentioning a 3-0 day ... isn't it? All jokes aside, MLB betting has been going pretty well although I must admit I am an NFL Draft guy too. There is just so much intrigue there, and the options get better and better every year. I am looking forward to Thursday.
For MLB today we get 11 games to choose from, not quite a full slate but it should be more than enough to keep the good times rolling.

MLB Picks for Monday, April 24
Favorite
Milwaukee Brewers -150 (vs. Detroit Tigers)
It is hard not to like the Brewers at home in this matchup, especially against the Tigers. Milwaukee has been one of the best teams early on, and the Tigers one of the worst. Detroit is the lowest-scoring team in the Majors too, which is why I feel good about Milwaukee even though starter Colin Rea is far from their ace. So far, Milwaukee has been one of the most complete teams in the league.
Underdog
Houston Astros +135 (at Tampa Bay Rays)
The Rays are 19-3 so fade them at your own risk, but I like the way the Astros are playing right now. They have won three in a row and Taj Bradley is not the most intimidating starter for the Rays. Houston has a long lineup with a couple of elite lefthanded power bats in Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker. You have to score against Tampa this season and Houston can do that. They are not playing 3-2 games.
Prop
Brad Keller Under 15.5 Outs (+115)
Keller is KC's best starter, but in half of his outings, he has not made it through five innings. Arizona has been one of the better offensive teams in the league, and at home, they will take it to the Royals. He can handle an elevated pitch count but there will be no need to push it in a game that is not going to be close.
