Sunday MLB Best Bets — MLB Best Bets 9/28/2025
1) Philadelphia Phillies ML (–220) vs Minnesota Twins — 3:05 PM ET
Why we like it: Citizens Bank power profile plus a high-K starter and a deeper late-inning bridge. If PHI limits free passes, extra-base damage should separate.
2) New York Yankees ML (–198) vs Baltimore Orioles — 3:05 PM ET
Why we like it: Clear OPS and barrel-rate edge at Yankee Stadium with punch-out routes in the seventh through ninth. Early count leverage turns into late dominance.
3) Chicago Cubs ML (–155) vs St. Louis Cardinals — 3:20 PM ET
Why we like it: Wrigley fit, contact quality, and a steadier relief bridge as a modest favorite. If CHC wins the zone, multiple win paths open.
