Best MLB Bets Today – Free (Thursday 10/17)
MLB Dream
Welcome back to another edition of Sunday’s MLB Best Bets presented by FTN! Today we’ll lock in on some afternoon baseball, as the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds close out a weekend series at Great American Ballpark.
Atlanta Braves at Cincinnati Reds
This series has been as electric as advertised. Through the first two games, the teams combined for 34 runs and both won a game. The rubber match should set us up for yet another exciting performance at the plate.
Elly De La Cruz being called up to the majors seems to be the missing piece this Cincinnati club needed. De La Cruz has exceeded even his high expectations since debuting to the show. In the month of June, the rookie has a .359 average, three home runs, 10 RBIs and eight stolen bases. Today, we will back the sensational rookie to continue his performance at the plate.

The dominoes fall in place perfectly for the young De La Cruz today, as he faces the veteran right-hander Charlie Morton. Cruz is hitting .426 against righties with a whopping 1.309 OPS. He has also been amazing at home with a .484 average, three homers and a 1.561 OPS. Let’s hope the rookie takes us in “Cruz Control” to the winners circle! Best of luck.
