Expert Baseball Picks for April 28 from Greg Peterson

Las Vegas, NV—Expert baseball handicapper Greg Peterson has shared his top picks for Major League Baseball on April 28. With the season well underway, Peterson breaks down several matchups and offers his insights for today’s games.

Mets starting pitcher Griffin Canning has seen a resurgence this season, demonstrating impressive stats with a 3.12 ERA and nine strikeouts per nine innings. Last year, he managed only a 5.19 ERA with 6.8 strikeouts per nine. Canning and the Mets will face the Nationals, who send Trevor Williams to the mound. Williams struggles with a 5.11 ERA but holds a more favorable 3.74 FIP. Peterson recommends betting on the Mets vs. Nationals total to go under 9.5 runs, citing his handicapped total of 8.8.

In another matchup, the Twins’ Bailey Ober faces off against the Guardians’ Gavin Williams. Ober has allowed five home runs over 25 innings this season with a 5.04 ERA, while Gavin boasts a strong 2.03 ERA this year. Peterson forecasted the Guardians’ victory, suggesting a moneyline bet at -113.

Next, fans can watch the Cardinals go against the Reds, where Andre Pallante will pitch for St. Louis. Pallante has a 4.11 ERA and gets little support from the bullpen, ranked 25th in ERA. Peterson favors the Reds’ moneyline at -120 as Nick Martinez takes the mound, despite his rough 5.40 ERA.

This 2024 season, the Rangers’ Patrick Corbin appears effective, but his 5.41 FIP indicates otherwise. Peterson points towards the Rangers’ moneyline at -103 against the Athletics’ JP Sears, who holds a 3.21 ERA but has had trouble with quality starts.

The day promises exciting baseball action, and Peterson’s insight could help bettors navigate today’s picks. He encourages careful review and to always shop around for the best lines.
