On Monday, June 29, the 2026 Major League Baseball (MLB) season enters its 80th day, with 13 games scheduled across the league.

The shortened slate features key matchups, including White Sox vs. Orioles at Camden Yards (6:35 PM ET) and Mets vs. Blue Jays in Toronto.

Leading up to the action, our expert analysts have analyzed the matchups and found compelling options for Monday's slate.

Here are five expert MLB best bets for Monday, June 29.

The Chicago White Sox, currently second in the American League Central, will face the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Chicago has enjoyed a power surge in June, ranking seventh in home runs and eighth in ISO. Their youth-infused lineup, led by Sam Antonacci and Miguel Vargas, has carried the White Sox since the start of the month, with Antonacci boasting a 165 wRC+ in June.

Contrastingly, the Orioles' offense has vanished in June, ranking 18th with a 104 wRC+. However, teams are still striking Baz, as he sits in the 22nd percentile in average exit velocity and 35th in hard hit rate.

For the matchup between the Mets and Blue Jays, we will see Sean Manaea take the mound for New York, going up against Trey Yesavage in Toronto. Manaea has established himself as a strong left-handed option, boasting a 17.5% K-BB% since mid-May, with his fastball and sweeper working effectively.

As for Yesavage, he has struggled with command, leading to a 12% BB% and a 37.9% Ball% this season. While he has massive upside, it is crucial for him to maintain control.

Our experts have analyzed the matchups and found compelling options. For the White Sox-Orioles matchup, Burke is considered the superior pitching matchup. Chicago's consistent lineup can take advantage of Baz's highly hittable fastball.

For the Mets-Blue Jays matchup, Manaea's impressive performance and the Mets' solid bullpen edge have caught our attention. This could be a quick and tidy game, with the under 8.5 looking like an attractive option.

We also highlight a solid strikeout upside spot for Robert Gasser against the Reds team. With the Reds having the 8th-highest strikeout rate against left-handed pitchers, Gasser's skills could lead to a strong outing.

As the MLB season progresses, these expert picks will play a crucial role in determining the championship contenders. Remember to stay informed with the latest analysis and predictions from Action Network.
