Wednesday’s MLB slate features 15 matchups on May 13, 2026, with start times spanning from 1:05 PM ET to 10:10 PM ET.
I like two teams playing in the evening slate of games on Wednesday. Both teams are NL East clubs sending promising young starters to the mound.
Can 22-year-old Braves righty JR Ritchie pitch well enough to earn his second win of the season on Wednesday? Will Marlins starter Max Meyer improve his 2026 record to 3-0 in a road showdown with the Twins?
I'll make picks for both games below. Read on for our Wednesday MLB Predictions May 13 article.

Chicago Cubs at Atlanta Braves MLB Prediction May 13
The Atlanta Braves are primed to secure an outright win as money line home underdogs against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night. The case for Atlanta is backed by incredibly favorable situational trends.
Atlanta consistently defends its turf, posting a 13-6 straight-up record as the home team, and they dominate league play with an 18-6 straight-up mark in National League games this season.
Furthermore, the Braves carry momentum exceptionally well, sitting at 18-10 straight up following a win this year. Above all, the Braves excel in this specific spot: they hold a highly profitable 7-3 straight-up record as an underdog in 2026. These metrics align to make Atlanta a high-value pick with a good shot to spring the home upset.
Pick: Atlanta Braves +119

Miami Marlins at Minnesota Twins MLB Prediction May 13
The Miami Marlins are perfectly positioned to record an outright win as money line road favorites against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.
Miami is highly reliable when expected to win, holding a solid 14-9 straight-up record as a favorite this season. Furthermore, the Marlins have historically dominated this matchup, going 6-3 straight up in their last 9 games against Minnesota.
Recent form also favors the Fish, with Miami sitting at 3-2 straight up in their last 5 games overall. Crucially, they thrive with their young ace on the mound, boasting a 5-3 straight-up record in starting pitcher Max Meyer's 8 starts this season. These combined metrics highlight Miami as a solid road play.
Pick: Miami Marlins -127
