Frequently asked questions
Are DiamondEdge MLB picks free?
DiamondEdge offers free public MLB research previews without requiring an account. Full-board access, advanced matchup breakdowns, saved research, and AI Analyst insights are included in DiamondEdge Pro, which is available now at $20/month with a 3-day free trial.
When do hitter picks appear?
Hitter props usually update after confirmed MLB lineups become available, often closer to first pitch. Pitcher props may appear earlier because probable starters are posted sooner.
What is Home Run Radar?
Home Run Radar highlights power-friendly home run prop setups using batter trends, pitcher risk, park context, and weather context when available. HR props are high-variance and should never be treated as guaranteed outcomes.
Does DiamondEdge guarantee picks?
No. DiamondEdge does not guarantee outcomes. It is an MLB prop research platform built to organize data, matchup context, and confidence signals.
What does the star rating mean?
