MLB Sportsbook Consensus Picks — Tuesday, August 25, 2026
Built from five prediction models (Dimers, DRatings, Covers, OddsTrader, MyGameSim), Action Network expert picks, and free handicapper sites (Sports Chat Place, StatSalt, Pickswise, Predictem, WagerTalk). Moneyline board: 142 picks across 29 distinct handicapper identities. Totals board: 85 picks across 17 distinct identities. One capper counts once per board per game. All start times Eastern.
All 15 games on today’s card were still ahead of first pitch when this consensus was locked, so the full slate is included — no games were excluded for being underway. 12 of 15 games reached STRONG on the moneyline board, and 6 of 15 reached STRONG on the totals board.
Strongest Overlay: Kansas City Royals +117 at Toronto (7:07 PM ET) — 7 of 10 sources on the Royals, a STRONG-tier consensus landing on plus money. A second overlay sits on Baltimore +116 at St. Louis (7:45 PM ET), but at 55% agreement it only reaches Lean tier. Overlay applies to the moneyline board only; totals are priced near −110 on both sides, so that board shows the consensus line instead.
