Baseball Predictions for August 13: Top Selections from Greg Peterson
In the world of Major League Baseball, expert handicapper Greg Peterson has been making waves with his insightful predictions. Here's a round-up of his picks for August 14, 2025.
Greg's first pick for the day is for the Seattle Mariners, who are facing the Baltimore Orioles. He favours the Mariners with a Moneyline of -124, and expects a high-scoring game, with the Over 9.5 Runs. His analysis points to the Mariners having a stronger pitching support, with an effective bullpen, and a productive offensive lineup, compared to the Orioles who struggle with pitching control and run prevention.

However, Greg's own handicap adjusted the picks slightly to Mariners -135 and a total runs around 9.7. This indicates a slight favouring towards the Mariners to win outright and a slightly higher expectation for the total runs.
In another matchup, Greg predicts the Cincinnati Reds to edge out the Philadelphia Phillies. The Reds Moneyline stands at +125, according to the picks, with Greg's Handicap giving the Reds a slight edge at +108. [1]
The Reds' starting pitcher, Hunter Greene, is set to make his first start since June 3. He boasts a 2.72 ERA and 11 strikeouts per nine innings this season. The Phillies, on the other hand, will rely on Cristopher Sánchez, who has a 2.36 ERA and 0.6 home runs allowed per nine innings, but his bullpen ranks 23rd in ERA at 4.27.
The Astros bullpen, with a 3.35 ERA, ranks fourth in the league. Their starting pitcher, Hunter Brown, has a 2.51 ERA and 10.6 strikeouts per nine innings. The Orioles starting pitcher, Trevor Rogers, has a 1.44 ERA and has only allowed two home runs in 62 1/3 innings this season.
In the Miami Marlins vs. Cleveland Guardians game, Greg predicts a close contest. He favours the Marlins with a Moneyline of +110 and Over 7.5 Runs. However, his handicap adjusts these slightly to Marlins -111 and Total 8.2. [1]
The Blue Jays lead the American League in home scoring at over 5.2 runs per game. Their starting pitcher, Kevin Gausman, has a 3.85 ERA with 1.1 home runs and 2.6 walks per nine innings. The Guardians' starting pitcher, Gavin Williams, has a 3.17 ERA, but his lack of control could lead to regression with a 4.43 fielding independent and 4.8 walks per nine innings.
In the Dodgers vs. Angels matchup, Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers' starting pitcher, has a 2.37 ERA with 11.8 strikeouts per nine innings in a small sample of 19 innings this season. The Angels will counter with Kyle Hendricks, who has a 4.63 ERA overall but improves to 3.88 at home.
Lastly, in the match between the Cubs and the Marlins, Cade Horton, the Cubs' starting pitcher, has a 3.18 ERA but a 3.90 fielding independent and only 6.7 strikeouts per nine innings. The Marlins' starting pitcher, Eury Pérez, owns a 3.25 ERA and 0.8 home runs allowed per nine innings.
