Best MLB Bets Today on Caesars | May 31

Pete Alonso to Hit a Home Run

Alonso has a remarkable track record against Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola, hitting five home runs in 43 at-bats in his career against him. Alonso has consistently taken advantage of Nola’s pitching, and with such a favorable matchup, this is a great opportunity to take a chance on the MLB home run leader, who is just +370 to hit one out of the park.

Miguel Rojas Over 1.5 Total Bases

Rojas has proven to be a consistent threat against Nationals pitcher Patrick Corbin, with 15 hits in 35 at-bats for a staggering .429 average, Rojas has frequently found success against Corbin. While walks are a slight concern, his ability to generate hits makes taking the over on 1.5 total bases an enticing play.

Blake Snell Over 5.5 Strikeouts

Snell stands out as a pitcher primed for a strong performance. He has dominant numbers against several Marlins hitters such as Jean Segura and Garrett Hampson, holding them to low batting averages. With the right amount of run support, Snell should have no trouble exceeding the 5.5-strikeout mark, making this bet an attractive option.

James Kaprielian Under 4.5 Strikeouts

Facing a challenging Braves lineup, Kaprielian’s under on 4.5 strikeouts is a solid bet. OddsShopper suggests that this bet is beating the market, so it is an opportunity to capitalize on favorable odds. The true odds are estimated at -122, so the current offering of -115 adds even more value to Kaprielian being unable to reach five strikeouts in this one.

Detroit Lions +7 at Kansas City Chiefs

Finally, we look months into the future for the football season when the Detroit Lions face the Kansas City Chiefs. The Lions are 7-point underdogs in this one, which is a wide spread for a game so far down the road. This bet may require a bit of patience, but it has been beating the market for a long time and remains one of the best value options on OddsShopper  right now. Take the Lions +7 against Kansas City.
