Look below to find our free MLB picks for the five best games on today’s schedule!

Texas Rangers @ San Francisco Giants – 3.45PM ET

This Tuesday afternoon game will be the last of a two game mini series between the Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants. The Giants drew first blood in the series, winning 3-1 on Monday night.

The Texas Rangers previous series was with the Seattle Mariners, where they won, 2-1. The San Francisco Giants previous series was with the San Diego Padres, where they also won, 2-1.

The Rangers couldn’t back up a fantastic performance a couple of days earlier where they beat the Mariners 10-2. The loss on Monday night has meant their season record has dropped to 17-19.


Their season record just shows how inconsistent they are so far, they really need to string a few wins together to get some momentum. They are in the bottom half of the league for both average runs per game and total runs conceded.

The Giants are fresh of a narrow victory against the Rangers on Monday night. They were able to rebound from a terrible loss against the Padres a couple of days ago, 11-1. Most of the Giants wins so far this month have been only by a small margin. So, we expect another close game here, with the Giants coming out on top.

Los Angeles Angels @ Houston Astros – 8.10PM ET

This Tuesday night game will be the second of a three game mini series between the Los Angeles Angels and the Houston Astros. In the first game of this series, the Angels came out on top with a 5-4 win.

The Los Angeles Angels previous series was with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where they came out victorious, 2-1. The Houston Astros previous series was with the Toronto Blue Jays, where they also came out victorious, 2-1.

The Angels have only won three of their last eight games, so the win on Monday night was much needed, and fans are hoping for some more consistency from the team.

They aren’t too bad when it comes to offense, they sit in the middle of the pack in the league in terms of average runs scored per game. But they really need to start working on the defence as they are just leaking too many runs.

The Astros let a 4-1 lead in the fourth innings slip to being 4-5 behind by the end of the fifth. It seemed as though they had everything under control, then they let the Angels back in.

We think they will learn from their mistakes and work even harder in this game to ensure they don’t let victory slip through their fingers again. Back the Astros to bag the second game here with a win.

San Diego Padres @ Colorado Rockies – 8.40PM ET

This Tuesday night game will be the first of a three game mini series between the San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies, after the originally scheduled start to this series, on Monday, was postponed, due to rain.

The San Diego Padres previous series was with the San Francisco Giants, where they lost, 2-1. The Colorado Rockies previous series was with the St Louis Cardinals, where they also lost, 3-0.


The San Diego Padres really need to steady the ship, and it looks like the series between the Rockies couldn’t have come at a better time, they are expected to win this series, so hopefully for Padres fans, they actually can. The Padres have a current season record of 19-16. The San Diego Padres have won the last five clashes with the Colorado Rockies.

The Colorado Rockies haven’t had a good start to the season, and they currently do not have a winning record, sitting at 12-22. The Rockies have lost five out of their last seven games and while it is only early in the season, they need to turn things around and get that record closer to 0.500 if they want to remain competitive. But we don’t think they will be able to do it against the Padres on Monday.

Miami Marlins @ Arizona Diamondbacks – 9.40PM ET

This Tuesday night game will be the second of a three game mini series between the Miami Marlins and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The first game of this mini series was won by the Arizona Diamondbacks, 5-2.

The Miami Marlins previous series was with the Milwaukee Brewers, where they lost, 2-1. The Arizona Diamondbacks previous series was with the New York Mets, where they also lost, 3-0.

The Miami Marlins have won four of their last eight games, and are currently on a three game losing streak, meaning their record has slipped to 15-19 for the season so far.

The Marlins defence looks to be their strength, they are near the top of the league when it comes to total runs conceded so far this season. But against a team that is great in offense, this could be a blowout. 

We liked the look of the Diamondbacks in the first game, where they did indeed get the win. This win on Monday night stopped a six game losing streak, and now they have the wind in their sails, we like the look of them to continue again and get another win on Tuesday night. But we think it will be closer than the Monday game.

Seattle Mariners @ Los Angeles Dodgers – 10.10PM ET

This Tuesday night game will be the first of a two game mini series between the Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Seattle Mariners previous series was with the Texas Rangers, where they lost, 2-1. The Los Angeles Dodgers previous series was with the Los Angeles Angels, where they also lost, 2-1.

The Mariners suffered a pretty embarrassing defeat against the Rangers last time out, losing 10-2, so they will be looking to bounce back with a win against the Dodgers.


There have been a few games that have surprised people on how well the Mariners played, but then they go and suffer bad losses which doesn’t help their chances. On paper it looks as though the Mariners aren’t good enough to get the win against the Dodgers.

The Dodgers haven’t had the fiery start to the season they had hoped for, and are currently sitting on the same season record as the Mariners, 18-17. They weren’t really a fan of playing games on the road, as they are 8-2 in their last ten games. So playing back at home will hopefully be the thing that will turn the tide.
