Pickem Petey’s MLB Picks – 9/11 Edition: Smokin’ Hot Picks You Won’t Want to Miss!
It’s time to ride with Pickem Petey, our resident baseball wizard here at Fontaine’s 5. Petey’s been diving deep into the MLB trenches, and he's serving up three hot picks guaranteed to keep your betting game on point. These aren’t just picks, folks. They're carefully cooked up winners, stewed to perfection with stats, trends, and a sprinkle of gut instinct. Let's dive in.
1. Diamondbacks Money Line -108 (FanDuel)
1.08 units
First up, the Arizona Diamondbacks. Petey’s feeling confident about Arizona’s offense, which has been hotter than a summer day in the desert! Over the last 14 days, they’ve been crushing the competition, leading the league with a .290 AVG, .885 OPS, and a 142 wRC+. Combine that with Milwaukee's tired bullpen and the struggles of Eduardo Rodríguez since his return, and Petey’s got his money on Arizona to win at home.
“Eduardo’s been shaky since his activation,” says Petey, “and the Milwaukee lineup hasn’t been great against lefties. This is Arizona’s game to take.”
Pick: Diamondbacks Money Line
2. Astros -1.5 -120 (DraftKings)
1.2 units
Next, Petey’s taking the Astros on the run line. Houston is facing the Angels, and let’s just say rookie pitcher Samuel Aldegheri is in for a rough night. Yusei Kikuchi, on the other hand, has been dazzling since joining Houston, boasting a 3.07 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP.
“I’m not overthinking this one,” says Petey. “Houston’s got the better talent across the board, and they’re in the hunt for playoff positioning. Expect the Astros to light up Aldegheri and cover that -1.5 spread.”
Pick: Astros -1.5
3. Twins -1.5 -102 (DraftKings)

Finally, we’re heading to Minnesota, where the Twins are taking on the Reds. Petey sees this one as a classic case of a good team waking up just in time to handle business against a struggling Cincinnati squad. The Reds have been averaging just 1.75 runs per game in their last eight, while the Twins’ pitching staff, led by Ober, should have no problem shutting them down.
“With Ober’s 3.77 ERA and a .213 xBA, this is a pitching mismatch if I’ve ever seen one,” says Petey. “The Reds are just not hitting, and the Twins, despite their offensive slump, should wake up and take this comfortably.”
Pick: Twins -1.5
