Alex here, and I’m giving out my top baseball picks in this betting preview. Let’s get into the sharpest of the sharp picks for August 4, 2022.

I’ll be giving out my top MLB plays in this sharp sports betting preview. I’ll be giving out my sharp picks and predictions for the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Detroit Tigers game on Thursday, August 4. This game is scheduled to start at 7:11pm EST. Most betting volume has come in on the Tampa Bay Rays, with 66% of all money coming in on them thus far.

The total (e.g. over/under) is currently set at 8 total runs. The betting lines on DraftKings are juiced towards the over. The over 8 runs is priced at -115, and the under is -105.

Of course, baseball betting odds can change at any time, so be sure to browse odds for all your MLB betting picks on OddsJam to get the best possible odds. This concept of lines moving is called line movement.

I don’t have an official pick on the total for the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Detroit Tigers game on 8/4/22. I’m holding off currently. The run line is set at 1.5, which is most common. The Tampa Bay Rays are offered on the -1.5 run line at -105 odds.

The Tampa Bay Rays are favored in this game against the Tigers. They’re -180 odds on the moneyline on DraftKings sportsbook. The Detroit Tigers are at +155 moneyline odds on DraftKings as the underdog, and they’ll look to pull off the upset on August 4.

Again, all prices (e.g. lines) in this betting preview were from DraftKings sportsbook. DraftKings was the first online bookmaker accounts I signed up for once sports betting was regulated in the United States. They have a $1,000 sign-up bonus for all new users, too. That’s an epic bonus!

Official Pick: I have a player prop bet as my official pick for the Rays vs. Tigers game on 8/4/22. I’m on Jeffrey Springs over 4.5 strikeouts at -124 odds on FanDuel sportsbook. I predict that he’ll have a big game on Thursday.
