Best MLB Bets for Today (Aug 12)
Philadelphia Phillies (vs. St. Louis Cardinals)
The Philadelphia Phillies will be aiming to strengthen their position in the NL East division on Wednesday when they aim to continue their winning streak against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Phillies have been reliable on the road throughout the season, going 32-26. Zack Wheeler’s performances throughout the season have been reliable, and his prowess could prove crucial against a vulnerable Cardinals.
Tampa Bay Rays (vs. Athletics)
The Tampa Bay Rays flexed their muscles with a dominant showing against the Athletics on Monday, and they look good value to strengthen their position at the top of the AL East with another victory on Wednesday.
They have been reliable on the road throughout the season, going 31-28. Meanwhile, the Athletics have consistently struggled at Sutter Health Park, going 21-37, which includes a 2-6 record on home turf in 2026.
Arizona Diamondbacks (vs. Colorado Rockies)
The Arizona Diamondbacks should be capable of continuing their winning run in the MLB on Wednesday after a dominant showing against the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
Arizona have been strong at home in recent weeks, winning three of their last four, and going 36-25 in 2026. It is also worth noting that the Rockies have a poor losing record on the road, which currently stands at 19-41.
New York Yankees (vs. Seattle Mariners)
The New York Yankees will be widely expected to make home advantage count against the Seattle Mariners this week. They have been reliable at Yankee Stadium throughout the season, going 29-26.
Their position at the top of the Wild Card rankings is secure at this stage, and confidence would have been gained following a series win over the Atlanta Braves over the previous weekend.
