MLB Betting Guide for June 12: More Braves’ Blunders

All 30 MLB teams are in action today, so let’s dive into everything you know in order to pump out some winners.

We have a small afternoon slate today, but it will have three of baseball’s 11 teams that over .500 in action today in the Minnesota Twins, Milwaukee Brewers, and San Diego Padres aiming to defend their home field.

Later on, the Atlanta Braves will look to break their four-game losing skid as they’ll face the Baltimore Orioles tonight. The Braves are just 3-5 this month as they now sit 10.5 games back of the Phillies in the NL East, and frankly, it seems like Marcell Ozuna is the only one capable of doing anything for them right now. As the trade deadline gets closer, it will be interesting to see how the Braves perceive their postseason hopes this season.

Elsewhere, atop the MLB standings, the New York Yankees will carry their three-game win streak into tonight against the Kansas City Royals while the Philadelphia Phillies remain in Fenway to take on the Boston Red Sox.

It should be a great day of baseball, so stay with SportsGrid to be covered on everything the day will throw at us. Let’s ride!
