When it comes time to make your MLB picks, you should know about one class of picks that you might not often think about. You have to know how to make MLB picks on unknown pitchers. Throughout the season, a guy will get called up from the minors to make his first start. This is a really good chance to find value on that player.

You have to start by looking at that player’s minor league numbers. Find out what he brings to the table, because most of your fellow bettors won’t take the time to look it up. You will want to look at strikeout rates and walk rates in the minor leagues. Guys who have good strikeout numbers and good walk numbers will often translate into good big-league pitchers. At the very least, these guys will give their teams a chance to win.

The best MLB picks will be in those situations when a guy comes completely out of nowhere. Most people will either avoid those games or pick against the new pitchers. If you can find the numbers on the unknown pitcher, you stand a great chance of gaining an edge. You need to simply locate the right websites for analyzing scouting reports and minor league numbers. The good news is that coverage of baseball prospects has picked up over the last five years. Finding those numbers has never been easier for people who want to get the best possible value.
