Today's MLB Picks

Confidence is the model's internal rating of signal strength. Expected value is the edge over the market moneyline.
No games on the slate today. Tomorrow's card first appears after the 3 PM PT update.
How the MLB Picks Are Made
Every MLB slate is scored using starting-pitcher projections (ERA, xFIP), bullpen rest and strength, recent batting splits, ballpark and weather factors, and live lineup data. The model outputs a win probability, compares it to the market moneyline. Recommended moneyline picks need positive expected value; the full card also shows reads with negative EV.
Picks are made by MarcDuck with AI assistance, no tout hype, no hand-picked slates from "experts" with conflicts of interest. Picks are ranked by model confidence and expected value, and every input is documented on the methodology page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Bookie Bullies MLB picks really free?
Yes. Every MLB pick on this page is free. No signup, no paywall, no email required. The full model output (pick, confidence, expected value, moneyline) is visible to anyone.
How are the MLB picks made?
Every pick comes from a model MarcDuck (the publisher) built and tunes. The AI ingests starting pitcher ERA/xFIP, bullpen quality, team batting splits and live lineups for the moneyline, plus ballpark, weather and umpire data for first-inning reads; it outputs a probability for each side and compares it to the market moneyline. Picks publish automatically, and MarcDuck audits the results.
How often are the MLB picks updated?
About four times a day. Runs are scheduled at 7:00 AM, 11:30 AM, 3:00 PM and 5:50 PM Pacific, and an update can land late or be skipped. Each run re-grades recent results and rebuilds today's card; tomorrow's card first appears after the 3 PM run.
What does expected value (EV) mean on the picks?
Expected value is the average profit per unit wagered if the model's probability is correct. A +5% EV means a $100 bet profits $5 on average over many repetitions. Picks with positive EV have market edge according to the model.
