Best MLB trades for Friday, June 19
- Braves to win vs. Brewers
- Padres to win, or lose by less than 1.5 runs vs. Rangers
- Dodgers to win vs. Orioles
- Red Sox-Mariners more than 6.5 runs
Braves to win vs. Brewers
Milwaukee will send ace Jacob Misiorowski (8-2, 1.34 ERA) to the bump on Friday hoping to slow down a Braves lineup which has struggled to produce runs of late. Atlanta has lost three in a row, and has scored five or more runs in just three of its last eight contests. The Braves are rolling with Martin Perez (5-3, 2.90 ERA), who has won each of his last three starts. The SportsLine model sees Atlanta snapping its losing streak in 60% of simulations and you can trade on the Braves to win on Kalshi at 40 cents per share.
Padres to win, or lose by fewer than 1.5 runs vs. Rangers
Neither club has been able to find consistent play this season. The Rangers have lost three in a row and six of their last 10, while the Padres are playing .500 baseball over their last 10 games. San Diego's lineup has struggled mightily this season, ranking last in MLB in runs scored. They'll hope to get to Jacob deGrom (5-4, 3.17 ERA) while also getting a quality start from Randy Vasquez (6-4, 3.63 ERA). The Padres win, or lose by fewer than 1.5 runs, in 73% of SportsLine simulations. You can make this trade on Kalshi at 61 cents per share.

Dodgers to win vs. Orioles
Los Angeles has won three games in a row and finds itself with a nine-game cushion in the NL West. The Dodgers hope to keep this winning streak going when they send Roki Sasaki (3-4, 4.76 ERA) to the mound on Friday to take on the Orioles. Baltimore is coming into this contest off a loss to the Mariners and has scored less than five runs in four of its last five games. Trey Gibson (1-2, 5.91 ERA) gets the ball for the Orioles and will try to slow down one of the best lineups in MLB. The SportsLine model doesn't see that happening as L.A. wins in 65% of simulations. On Kalshi, a Dodgers win is 67 cents per share.
Red Sox-Mariners more than 6.5 runs
Ranger Suarez (2-3, 3.21 ERA) takes the mound for the Red Sox, who are on a four-game losing streak and find themselves at the bottom of the AL East. The Mariners blanked the Orioles on Thursday and are currently first in the AL West, which looks like a division that will come down to the wire. Seattle is giving Bryce Miller (3-0, 1.54 ERA) the ball in this contest. Despite the stellar starting pitchers, the SportsLine model sees these teams combining for more than 6.5 runs in 64.4% of simulations. You can make this trade for 53 cents per share on Kalshi.
