🚨 MLB Predictions & Best Value Plays ⚾🔥 (July 16, 2026)

We are back after the All-Star break, fellas and ladies! Let’s make some money and get right back to business. We’ve been absolute cash machines lately—sweeping the All-Star game with the American League and pulling in an incredible $35,000 in profit today off a massive Argentina future hedge. Coming off a phenomenal UFC card this past Saturday, we are locked in and ready to dominate the diamond!

📊 Our Data-Driven Edge When you fire up the Blowout Alert app over at sportsfbi.com, the numbers give us a massive edge over the books. Today we're zoning in on a single-game slate featuring a heated rivalry. The books have opened up with the Phillies sitting at -124 on the moneyline and the Mets at +106, while the run line sits at a flip-flopped +/- 1.5 favoring the Mets at big-time +200 plus money. The books are screaming at us that this is going to be a tight, one-run game, but our metrics tell a completely different story.

🎯 Top Teams We're Backing Today

• Philadelphia Phillies (-124 Moneyline): We are firmly backing the Phils to get the job done at home coming out of the break. They hold a massive advantage in the batter's box, boasting heavy hitters like Kyle Schwarber (32 HRs), Bryce Harper (20 HRs), Brandon Marsh (.300 AVG), and a reliable staple like Trea Turner. With tomorrow's game expected to hit a scorching 90-plus degrees in a notoriously hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park, expect this offense to show up with incredible energy.
• Phillies Over 4.5 Team Total (-122): The pricing across the books heavily favors the over in what Blowout Alert projects as an average run environment. With the wind and heat working in favor of the batters, we love the Phillies to crush their team total line.

❄️ Teams We're Proceeding With Caution

• New York Mets (+106): While the pitching edge technically goes to the Mets' young hurler Christian Scott, we simply cannot trust this team. The Mets own a terrible 40-57 record for a reason, backed by one of the weakest offenses in the league by several measurements. They also feature a remarkably high strikeout rate across the board, with several top bats like Carson Benge (83 Ks), Bo Bichette (73 Ks), Brett Baty (89 Ks), Francisco Alvarez (60 Ks), and M.J. Melendez (50 Ks) heavily prone to chasing. Proceed with extreme caution before backing their moneyline.

💣 Player Props & Target Slips

• Aaron Nola Over 5 Strikeouts: Even though Nola has a history of giving up occasional big earned-run games, he still possesses elite K-stuff. Facing a high-strikeout lineup like the Mets, 5 Ks is an incredibly sharp look.
• Juan Soto To Hit A Home Run: Soto remains the absolute clear standout and the only bright spot in this otherwise weak lineup. If you want to target a home run prop to go yard off Nola tomorrow, he is the only player on this slate worth a look (we are staying away from Derby participants like Schwarber and Harper right out of the gate).
