Best MLB Bets for Today (Aug 4)
Nationals vs. Phillies
Confidence within the Philadelphia Phillies camp will be sky high following a dominant 8-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. That victory enhanced their overall record in the MLB to 59-53.
Their depth should prove crucial once again this week in a series against the Washington Nationals. The Nationals have gone 32-24 on the road this season, and they have suffered defeats in each of their last two games.
Marlins vs. Braves
It has been a dominant campaign to this point for the Atlanta Braves, and their confidence will be high after back-to-back wins against the Nationals.
Being back at Truist Park will give them the edge against a divisional rival, as the Braves have gone 36-20 in front of their own fans this season. In contrast, the Miami Marlins have struggled on their travels, going 24-32 overall in 2026. A home win looks like a banker selection on Tuesday.
Angels vs. Orioles
A series against the Angels could give the Orioles a perfect opportunity to get their form back on track this week.
Baltimore’s confidence would have been dented following a heavy loss against the Philadelphia Phillies, but they still have a largely reliable overall record of 54-58. They have also been more reliable in their home games, going 30-29 compared to a record of 24-29 on their travels.
Pirates vs. Brewers
The final MLB best bet for today comes in the form of the Milwaukee Brewers. They have achieved a consistent overall record of 69-42 this season, with many of their best performances coming at American Family Field.
They have gone 36-20 on home turf, which gives them an excellent chance of dominating this series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, who have gone 27-29 on their travels in 2026.
