Expert MLB moneyline picks for May 10

Nationals vs Marlins: Nationals (+117)

Nationals win probability: 46.1%

Cade Cavalli draws a favorable matchup against a Miami Marlins offense posting an 80 wRC+ over the last seven days, one of the coldest lineups in baseball. The Washington Nationals rank third in wRC+ this week. Back the Nats at plus money.

Athletics vs Orioles: Athletics (-104)

Athletics win probability: 51%

The Athletics rank fifth in wRC+ this week at 118, while the Baltimore Orioles bullpen has posted a brutal 4.66 ERA over the last seven days. The A's hot offense gives value at a near pick'em price.

Rockies vs Phillies: Rockies (+203)

Rockies win probability: 33%

The Colorado Rockies are slugging .433 across their previous seven games. Cristopher Sanchez may be dealing, but the Philadelphia Phillies' .290 on-base percentage means they shouldn't be nearly 2/1 favorites against anyone. Hold your nose and play Colorado. 

Rays vs Red Sox: Rays (-113)

Rays win probability: 53.1%

The Tampa Bay Rays' bullpen has been dominant over the last seven days, posting a 0.62 ERA in relief. Drew Rasmussen faces a Boston Red Sox offense ranked 18th in weekly wRC+. Tampa Bay owns the pitching edge from top to bottom.

Angels vs Blue Jays: Angels (-100)

Angels win probability: 50%

Eric Lauer has coughed up eight home runs across 31.1 frames. Jose Soriano is striking out 10 hitters per nine, and meets a Toronto Blue Jays offense that seems stuck, as evidenced by their 82 wRC+ across the past seven days. 

Astros vs Reds: Astros (+117)

Astros win probability: 46.1%

Two of the sport's worst bullpens meet today, and it appears the Houston Astros will be in a bullpen game. Cincinnati Reds starter Andrew Abbott is walking 4.24 hitters per nine, and the Cincy bullpen boasts a 9.23 ERA across the last week. Back the 'Stros bats in a slugfest.

Twins vs Guardians: Guardians (-133)

Guardians win probability: 58%

We should see good starting pitching on Sunday. The problem is the Minnesota Twins' bullpen is carrying a whopping 9.24 ERA across their last 21 1/3 frames. The Cleveland Guardians bullpen isn't much better, but we'll back the better offense, and that's the Guardians. 

Yankees vs Brewers: Brewers (+122)

Brewers win probability: 45%

Logan Henderson faces the best offense in baseball, but Carlos Rodon is making his first start and could be rusty. The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen has posted a 2.10 xERA in relief over the last seven days. The Brewers are worth backing at a good price. 

Mariners vs White Sox: White Sox (+117)

White Sox win probability: 46.1%

Logan Gilbert has been inconsistent lately, and the Chicago White Sox offense has quietly improved, ranking 10th in batting wRC+ over the last seven days at 103. Chicago sticks and dynamite Davis Martin (5-1, 1.64) on the mound offers value at plus-money against a vulnerable Gilbert.

Cubs vs Rangers: Cubs (+108)

Cubs win probability: 48.1%

The Chicago Cubs are the hottest team in baseball, and rank second in wRC+ this week at 126. Jameson Taillon has been better than his numbers suggest, and I'll back him and the Cubbies as the Texas Rangers continue to struggle out of the bullpen. 

Pirates vs Giants: Pirates (-100)

Pirates win probability: 50%

The San Francisco Giants rank dead last in batting wRC+ this week at 67 and continue to struggle badly offensively. The Pittsburgh Pirates offense has quietly been solid over the same stretch. With two struggling starting pitchers on the hill, we'll back the Bucs' bats. 

Braves vs Dodgers: Dodgers (-122)

Dodgers win probability: 55%

Two spectacular starters on the hill, but the Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen has posted a 0.84 ERA in relief over the last seven days, the second-best in baseball. The Dodgers' offense is slightly better than the Atlanta Braves' sticks, and we'll roll with the L.A. pitching. 

Mets vs Diamondbacks: Diamondbacks (-113)

Diamondbacks win probability: 53.1%

Eduardo Rodriguez takes the mound at 3-0, and the Arizona Diamondbacks bullpen has posted a 2.12 ERA in relief over the last seven days. The New York Mets haven't named a starter with a struggling lineup and the 20th-best bullpen in the past week. 

Cardinals vs Padres: Cardinals (+127)

Cardinals win probability: 44.1%

The St. Louis Cardinals own the better offense, and Kyle Leahy gets a San Diego Padres one of the coldest lineups in baseball with a 68 wRC+ over the last seven days. St. Louis' bullpen has been good enough to trust the Cardinals to outscore the Padres. 

Tigers vs Royals: Royals (-122)

Royals win probability: 55%

Kansas City Royals' bullpen ranks eighth in baseball this week, while the Detroit Tigers offense ranks 27th in wRC+ at 72 during that same period. The Royals have both the hotter bats and stronger relief pitching at a reasonable price.

It ended up being a tough week for the Colorado Rockies. They kicked things off on Sunday by giving up 11 runs to the Atlanta Braves to complete a sweep, and it didn’t get much better when the New York Mets came to town.

The Rockies lost to the Mets on Monday before the snow—yes, snow—rolled in and postponed Tuesday’s game and delayed the start time on Wednesday. As the snow cleared, the Rockies lost 10-5 in a chilly affair before snapping what had become a six-game losing streak on Thursday.

On Friday evening the Rockies offense roared to life with a 9-7 win against the Philadelphia Phillies in the City of Brotherly Love after a collapse by the bullpen pushed the game into extra innings. However, they could not carry the momentum into Saturday.

The Rockies have just two wins so far this month. They’ll wrap up the series against the Phillies later this morning before heading across the state of Pennsylvania to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Weekend Discussion Topics

On Mother’s Day in 2017, Nolan Arenado and Pat Valaika hit a combined three home runs to topple the Los Angeles Dodgers at Coors Field. Valaika was responsible for two of them, both of which were two-run home runs.

What are your favorite Mother’s Day baseball moments? Skyler Timmins wrote about a few back in the day. Feel free to also discuss how your mom may have contributed to your own baseball life!

Good morning, baseball fans!

And Happy Mother’s Day to all of our Giants moms out there!

We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone.

For the tenth day of Mays-mas, I thought we’d take another look at a game that deserves to be remembered, but didn’t exactly lead to further playoff success. And that would be the 2016 NL Wild Card Game!

While the rest of the playoff adventure that year might be best forgotten, this game specifically deserves some love because it was yet another masterpiece of a complete game shutout from Madison Bumgarner, and gave us such popular memes as “Literally Conor Gillaspie!”

So grab your coffee, call your mom if you haven’t yet, then settle in and enjoy!

What time do the Giants play today?

The San Francisco Giants wrap up this three-game home series against the Pittsburgh Pirates this afternoon at 1:05 p.m. PT.

We’ve been blessed with a 15-game Mother’s Day MLB Sunday schedule, which means plenty of plus-money opportunities to be had.

I’ve scoured the MLB odds and have found three hitters in solid matchups, including Detroit Tigers OF Riley Greene facing Kansas City Royals lefty Noah Cameron. 

Read on for my MLB player props and MLB picks for Sunday, May 10.

Best MLB player props today

Player	Pick	Odds
Tyler Soderstrom	Over 1.5 total bases	+110
Aaron Judge	Over 1.5 total bases	+105
Riley Greene	Over 1.5 total bases	+140

Tyler Soderstrom Over 1.5 total bases (+110)

Athletics OF Tyler Soderstrom is in a strong spot against Baltimore Orioles starter Chris Bassitt, whose underlying numbers have been shaky. 

Soderstrom has a couple of hits off Bassit in seven at-bats, and that should give him confidence to break his current 0-9 series mark. 

Bassitt is allowing more hard contact and not missing many bats, and the Orioles bullpen is surrendering a 4.07 xERA across their last 44 frames.

Soderstrom’s power profile stands out with a 51% hard-hit rate and 13.5% barrel rate, and is a good play at plus-money. 

• Time: 1:35 p.m. ET
• Where to watch: Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, NBC Sports California

Aaron Judge Over 1.5 total bases (+105)

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge gets a favorable matchup against Milwaukee Brewers starter Logan Henderson, who throws his four-seam fastball nearly half the time. 

That is dangerous against Judge, who is slugging .692 against four-seamers this season while continuing to produce elite hard-contact numbers. 

Henderson also mixes in cutters and sinkers, two more pitch types Judge has handled extremely well throughout his career. 

Judge saw his six-game hitting streak snapped last night, but has strong value at plus money to record two total bases.

• Time: 2:10 p.m. ET
• Where to watch: Brewers.TV, YES Network

Riley Greene Over 1.5 total bases (+140)

Detroit Tigers OF Riley Greene has been crushing left-handed pitching this season, posting a .368 batting average and 1.053 OPS in the split. 

He also draws a favorable matchup against Kansas City Royals starter Noah Cameron, who has struggled badly against left-handed hitters, allowing a .677 slugging percentage and .430 wOBA. 

Greene continues to produce elite hard-contact numbers with a 52.1% hard-hit rate and strong barrel metrics. 

At plus money, this is an appealing spot for Detroit’s best hitter to deliver extra-base damage.

The Guardians lost to the Twins 2-1 and frustrations are high.

The Guardians went 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position. Two innings, a fly ball to medium deep outfield would have scored the winning run, as would likely a deep ground ball. The offense was pathetic against a horrible Twins bullpen.

With that said, Stephen Vogt either allowing or calling for Angel Martinez to sacrifice against a pitcher who had yet to throw a strike was dumb, but not quite as dumb as not intentionally walking the only player in the Twins lineup who is any good in the 11th. But, I suppose he saved us all another inning of frustration.

On the bright side, Tanner Bibee was very, very good, as was the bullpen. Peyton Pallette especially stood out. Both Bibee and Pallette made one mistake- to Byron Buxton who made them pay both times (not even sure Bibee’s pitch that Buxton hit for a homer was a mistake).

The Guardians managed to address their team problems yesterday by trading for Patrick Bailey who currently has a wRC+ of 16. Sense my sarcasm, please. It’s a fine trade but I hope everyone realizes that Bailey coming here is likely the end of Hedges’ tenure in Cleveland come 2027. That’ll be a tough pill to swallow for some. And I hope no one thinks Bailey will be a good hitter because he will not. Our hitting team is not capable of “fixing” anyone. Breaking someone? Yes.

They released another Guardians’ Weekly yesterday. Rosenhaus interviews David Fry and Rhys Hoskins.

AROUND MLB:

The Royals beat the Tigers and the White Sox beat the Mariners.

Hello, friends.

First and foremost, a happy Mother’s Day to all the moms of Birdland. May your favorite baseball team deliver you a win.

The Orioles have certainly not been delivering wins for the moms or anyone else over the parts of the weekend leading up to Mother’s Day so far. The latest poor effort saw them drop a 6-2 game to the Athletics yesterday, with Shane Baz turning in another clunker and the Orioles offense waiting until the eighth inning to actually get some runs on the board. Check out Andrea SK’s recap for more of the not-so-lovely totals.

I was at Camden Yards for yesterday’s game, my first time back since Opening Day. The Orioles loaded the bases with no one out in the fifth inning and the middle of the order – Rutschman, Alonso, and Basallo – due up and then they did not score any runs. A sizable chorus of boos rained down on the team at this point from frustrated fans.

My general observation over time is that the fans of Camden Yards are pretty generous in regards to their hometown team, almost more than they really deserve. One recurring oddity to me is how often a starting pitcher receives a standing ovation from a portion of the crowd when the outing was like, five innings with three earned runs allowed. That’s not even good!

So, with that in mind, the booing was kind of a shock. It’s hard to say it was undeserved in any way. The team’s play this season isn’t up to snuff. I think they’d be the first ones to agree with this. And as we all know, what’s happening so far this season is not happening in a vacuum. This year’s struggle connects to what happened with last year’s disappointment, and both of these things are connected to slipping to a .500 record in the second half of the 2024 season and then getting swept right out of the postseason for the second consecutive year.

That’s a long time to be a disappointment in the era that was supposed to be, as Mike Elias once infamously said, “liftoff from here.” The Orioles really did lift off for a while there! The 101-61 record in the 2023 season was great. Their first half of the 2024 season was also great. To carry on the metaphor, they were supposed to stay in orbit after lifting off and instead it seems like they’re burning up during atmospheric re-entry. If you are inside the stadium and want to vent some displeasure with that situation, booing is really the only outlet. Either that or you say to the person or people you are with, “Geez, this really sucks.”

In my case, I have this blog, so I can say it to you instead: Geez, this really sucks.

It will take a win today to avoid being swept at the hands of the Athletics. The Orioles are already in last place entering today. Don’t fall farther behind! Chris Bassitt and Luis Severino are the scheduled starting pitchers for the 1:35 game. Bassitt, really? Oof. Take a small bit of heart: At least Severino doesn’t pitch left-handed.

What’s really wrong with the Orioles (Baltimore Baseball)
“They’re not bunting enough” would probably not make my top 50 on the list of concerns about the 2026 Orioles season.

I don’t think that you need to gaze too long into the tea leaves to start to think that this means the Orioles are considering that the Coby Mayo experiment is running out of time, at least for now.

Heston Kjerstad started rehab assignment on Saturday (School of Roch)
As Roch observes, the likely outcome is that Kjerstad’s rehab plays out and then he’s optioned to Norfolk afterwards. But if you’re tired of seeing Tyler O’Neill, I don’t blame you for wondering if Kjerstad’s coming right up.

Birthdays and Orioles anniversaries

In the 40th game a year ago, the Orioles lost a 6-3 game to the Twins. This was the first game of a doubleheader; they also lost the second game, dropping their record to 15-26 on the season. I took to Camden Chat the next day and proclaimed hopes for the season to be over. This year’s O’s are currently 17-23. Win today and they’re three wins better than they were a year ago. Lose today and it stays at a scant two, which I think is creeping pretty darn close to the point where the hole is too deep to reasonably hope to escape.

There is one lone former Oriole who was born on this day: Happy 42nd to Kam Mickolio, the 2008-2010 reliever who arrived in the trade that sent Erik Bedard to Seattle and departed in the trade that brought Mark Reynolds to Baltimore.

Is today your birthday? Happy birthday to you! Your birthday buddies for today include: actor Fred Astaire (1899), basketball coaching legend Jim Calhoun (1942), Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious (1957), author John Scalzi (1969), actor Kenan Thompson (1978), and gold medal swimmer Missy Franklin (1995).

On this day in history…

In 1773, Great Britain’s Parliament passed the Tea Act, which set in motion the series of events leading to the Boston Tea Party later that year.

In 1801, Barbary corsairs based in Tripoli declared war on the United States, leading to a four-year, largely naval war in which great Marylander Stephen Decatur distinguished himself for the US Navy.

In 1924, J. Edgar Hoover was appointed as the director of the FBI, the first to hold that post. He remained in charge for the next 48 years, until his death.

In 1969, American and South Vietnamese forces began an assault on a North Vietnamese-held hill simply dubbed Hill 397 on the map. This has since become dubbed Hamburger Hill as it took a week to capture at a cost of 56 Americans killed and 367 wounded – and the position was abandoned only two weeks after being taken.

In 1994, Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as the president of South Africa.

And that’s the way it is in Birdland on May 10. Have a safe Mother’s Day. Go O’s!

Sitting and watching CC Sabathia and Dave Parker being inducted into the Brewers’ Wall of Fame got me thinking: When will the Brewers retire their next number?

The last person to have a jersey number retired was a man who never played baseball for the team but rather was born, raised, and brought baseball back to Milwaukee after a five-year hiatus: Bud Selig. This came back in 2015 after he finished serving the last 22 years as the Commissioner of Major League Baseball.

Taking a look at some of the other players who have had their jerseys retired, it comes mainly from the 1980s teams, the core players of those squads, such as Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, and Rollie Fingers. Now, as phenomenal as those players were, only one of them played their entire career with the Brewers, and it was Yount.

Spending 20 years with the Brewers, Yount was the first-round pick back in 1973. Similar to the trend we’re seeing today in baseball, he was on the big league club less than a year later, and the rest is history. Of course, Yount was a part of the first-ever playoff team, collected over 3,000 hits, played in over 2,800 games, among other standout stats. If you look at the Career Top 10 Leaders on Baseball Reference for the Brewers, you see Yount leading the way in several categories, and rightfully so.

This isn’t to discredit what his teammates, Molitor and Fingers, did back in the day, despite not playing their entire careers with the Brewers. Molitor spent 15 years with the Brewers before becoming one of the first baseball players to leave their longtime club for a nice paycheck. More often than not, Molitor batted above .300 in a season with the Brewers, not to mention the numerous times he led the league in a statistical category. Molitor was the man.

Fingers was a bit of a journeyman throughout his Major League career. However, this didn’t stop him from having a Hall of Fame career. Of his seven total All-Star appearances, two of them were in Milwaukee. He was a part of the team that led the Brewers to their first and only World Series appearance in 1982 and sits fourth all-time in the franchise’s all-time saves category.

Now that we have reviewed who hangs up high, it’s time to look at who could be the next number to be retired.

The first name that comes to mind is Ryan Braun. No one has worn No. 8 since he played his last game in September 2020. Could that be a sign of things to come, or just respect for the Hebrew Hammer? Like Yount, Braun was drafted in the first round of the draft. The only difference is that Yount was No. 3 overall, and Braun was No. 5.

Braun only played for 14 seasons, but following the steroid accusations, he never quite played a full season again. Following the 2012 season, Braun only played more than 140 games twice, once in 2015 (when he was an All-Star) and in 2019. While injuries riddling the back half of his career certainly didn’t help his case, Braun was a key part of two teams that fell shy of the World Series. Most importantly, on three separate occasions, he was a part of the team that brought Milwaukee back to the postseason.

What gets my vote is where he ranks among the all-time career hitters in a Brewers uniform. For many of the main categories, he’s in the top three.

• 5th in Batting Average (.296)
• 4th in games played (1,766)
• 3rd in hits (1,963)
• 2nd in doubles (408)
• 2nd in RBIs (1,154)
• 1st in home runs (352)

Had Braun been able to stay healthy throughout his playing career, I’m sure we’d see those numbers a little bit more inflated, but that’s with anyone at the end of the day.

Looking at this current roster of players, it feels like the only ones that would have a chance at history would be those who sign the long, lucrative deals, which, as we know, are few and far between. If you talked to me after the 2019 season, I would’ve told you Christian Yelich would be the next guy, though consistent injuries in recent seasons make it hard for him to see the field regularly.

Jackson Chourio, assuming he can stay healthy and play at the pace he’s been playing at, perhaps we could see his number retired in 20-30 years from now. Chourio plays both sides of the game well and is guaranteed to be on the team through the 2033 season, giving way to the possibility of No. 11 hanging high up one day.

As of right now, it’s hard to see who else might join some of the Brewers’ greats. Brice Turang has four years left on his contract, and already with a platinum glove under his belt, it’s going to be hard to get an extension done to keep him around. He’s a player, though, who has only gotten better as his career has gone on.

When it comes to the pitching staff, early frontrunners, if they can stay around, would be guys like Jacob Misiorowski and perhaps Brandon Woodruff. If we had this discussion a few years ago, before some of the big pieces were traded away, I would’ve loved to mention guys like Corbin Burnes, Freddy Peralta, or even Josh Hader.

All in all, it’s hard to imagine a number being retired anytime soon, as it feels like we’re splitting hairs. Of all the names above, Braun’s case might be the lone legitimate case we have on hand; otherwise, we might be waiting another 20-30 years to see what comes of this core of players.

Make it five straight losses for the Detroit Tigers after their 5-1 loss on Saturday night to the Kansas City Royals. Burch Smith’s two runs surrendered in just 1/3 of an inning as the opener was too much for the wet-noodle offense to overcome and… sigh… AJ Hinch’s squad is in danger of its second-straight sweep.

The Motor City Kitties will have right-hander Brenan Hanifee on the hill to open up Sunday’s series finale in what should be yet another bullpen game. The 27-year-old has yet to surrender a run so far this season and the Tigers got scoreless three frames out of him in his last appearance against the Boston Red Sox, so maybe there is hope.

Meanwhile, second-year hurler Noah Cameron will take the mound for Kansas City. The 26-year-old southpaw had a strong rookie season last year, putting up a 2.99 ERA but a 4.18 FIP in 138.1 innings pitched with a 20.5% strikeout rate and 7.7% walk rate — those last two numbers are not far off from his numbers so far this year.

However, after opening the 2026 campaign with a 1.69 ERA and 1.82 FIP over 10 2/3 frames, which includes just a couple of walks and 10 strikeouts, he has posted a 7.29 ERA and a 5.80 FIP in the 21 innings he’s thrown since on 30 hits (five home runs) and nine walks while striking out 18. Can the Tigers take advantage of the struggling starter?

It seems as though that Alec Bohm is the Phillies topic of the weekend right now. Most of the articles being written about them are centered on the struggling third baseman and the team’s plans with him. At least they are recognizing that there is a problem.

On to the links.

Phillies news:

• Alec Bohm didn’t play on Thursday or Friday. He didn’t pick up a bat on Thursday at all. Maybe it will help, maybe it won’t ($).
• Prior to Saturday, the team had an Alec Bohm problem. What are the solutions and how long until they decided to do something more permanent ($)?
• This is a really fun story about the Fleer factory that was in Olney and those that worked at it.

MLB news:

• First, the Braves saw their former owner pass away this week. Now, their former manager Bobby Cox has passed away as well.
• The American League isn’t really that good this season. Why do their standings look so….weird?
• The Giants decided to move on from their Gold Glove catcher Patrick Bailey in a trade with the Guardians.
• Baltimore has lost another starting pitcher for a bit as Cade Povich has landed on the injured list with an elbow issue.
