Total Bases | MLB Picks Today | Tuesday Odds, Predictions & Best Bets | 3/31

In this episode of WagerTalk's Total Bases, hosts Tokyo Brandon (TB), Brian Leonard, and Adam discuss MLB betting picks for Tuesday, March 31, 2026, focusing on key matchups and prop bets. The team breaks down the Yankees vs. Mariners game, with TB favoring the Yankees on the money line due to strong bullpen form and favorable OPS data against Logan Gilbert, despite Gilbert’s strong home record. They express skepticism about the Blue Jays after Cody Ponce’s injury, passing on Toronto despite their strong odds, and lean toward Rockies +1.5 as a value play. The Tigers vs. Diamondbacks game is seen as a tough call, with both teams’ bullpens underperforming, but TB ultimately stays off the game. The Dodgers vs. Guardians matchup sees a focus on prop plays, particularly Shohei Otani’s pitching outs under, while the Phillies vs. Nationals game features a strong recommendation for Philadelphia’s team total over 5.5 at +105. The episode emphasizes avoiding overreaction to early-season results and relying on current matchups and bullpen trends. The hosts also discuss the A’s offensive firepower versus their weak pitching, and the Red Sox’s poor start despite long-term potential. The episode concludes with a recap of the $5 Tuesday parlay: Yankees ML, Tigers ML, and Phillies team total over 5.5.
