Best MLB Bets for Today (Aug 7)

Philadelphia Phillies (vs. Toronto Blue Jays)

The Philadelphia Phillies will be one of the best MLB bets for today when they begin their home series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.

Philadelphia have been reliable at Citizens Bank Park throughout the campaign, going 30-28. Their line-up depth will give them the edge against the Blue Jays, who have underperformed throughout the season to accumulate a losing record of 53-61.

St. Louis Cardinals (vs. Colorado Rockies)

The Colorado Rockies will come into their series against the St. Louis Cardinals in poor recent form, having lost their recent series against the Rays.

Their ineffective form on the road is incredibly hard to overlook, as they have gone 18-38 on their travels, only supporting the chances of the Cardinals being one of the best MLB bets today. The chances of a Cardinals win are only enhanced by their recent reliable form, having won two of their previous three.

Los Angeles Dodgers (vs. Arizona Diamondbacks)

The Los Angeles Dodgers may be playing on the road in Phoenix on Friday, but their high-quality reputation of high-OPS hitters should still be respected against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Dodgers still sit at the top of the NL West division, and they boast a fine 36-23 record on the road in 2026. Therefore, they are preferred to bounce back to form after a damaging start to August following five straight defeats.

Atlanta Braves (vs. New York Yankees)

The standout series this weekend comes from Yankee Stadium, as the Yankees host the Atlanta Braves. But, the preference is for the visitors in this marquee interleague matchup.

The Braves have been superior throughout the season, and their middle-of-the-order power will give them a slight edge to record a victory on the road this Friday.
