Game622.

4:10 PM PST/7:10 PM EST.

As of posting this release early Thursday morning, most of the general public money is coming in on St. John's. My friends, I understand why. This is a team with a very seasoned and smart head coach, tallying an overall record of 30-6 this season, covering 20-of-36 lined games. They come in here on an eight-game straight up win streak, covering six of those eight games, as well. But I feel this is the game and the matchup the shoe drops on the Red Storm. They are due for a letdown, and I feel it will be here. The Blue Devils are one of the best teams in the country going 34-2 on the campaign and covering 20 of their 36 lined games. They come into this matchup winning 13 consecutive outings, covering seven of their last 11. Yes, as of posting this release, guard, Caleb Foster is still listed as questionable. Always do your due diligence and check status. But even if the standout player does not play, I still feel Duke will come up big here. This is a deep and talented team with a very smart head coach themselves. They have the talent to not just compete here, but to win big. With size and muscle up front, and speed savvy in the back, this team has very few flaws. They score more than St. John's, and allow considerably less. They are much better at defending the arc, and at both ends of the court are far superior on the boards. The Red Storm aren't going to be able to outmuscle them as they have in recent opponents. I'm going to go against the grain here, go against the general public, and say Duke wins and covers. Take the Blue Devils. Thank you.

Braves -135

Atlanta is worth a free move on Friday. It’s Chris Sale again for the opener and he’s found his old form after posting a 2.58 ERA last season. He’s solidified himself as an ace and this is a good matchup for him against an offense that had their share of inconsistencies last year. This Braves offense is healthy and they’ll see Cole Ragans, who battled injuries last year. He won’t work deep into this game as this Braves offense loves to make pitchers work. Back Atlanta.

Friday FREE MLB ML Play

1* FREE INFO PLAY Royals vs Braves over 7 -115

The Atlanta Braves stand as a solid home moneyline favorite against the visiting Kansas City Royals on Friday night, offering bettors a reliable angle centered on home-field strength and historical edges in this interleague matchup. Hosting the Royals at Truist Park early in the season gives Atlanta the advantage of familiar surroundings and crowd support, where the Braves have consistently performed well against American League visitors. In recent years, Atlanta has shown a knack for taking care of business at home against road-weary clubs making the cross-league trip, capitalizing on pitching depth and lineup balance to secure outright victories.

A compelling betting trend supports backing the Braves on the moneyline here: Kansas City has struggled in head-to-head play against Atlanta, going just 3-7 straight-up in their last 10 meetings overall. The Royals have also shown vulnerability on the road in recent seasons, posting mixed results away from home while Atlanta has leveraged its home park to post winning records in similar spots. The total has gone under in five of Kansas City’s last five road games against the Braves, pointing to lower-scoring affairs that often favor the home side’s ability to grind out wins rather than relying on explosive offense.

Recent form adds weight to the Braves as the side to trust. Atlanta has demonstrated resilience at home, winning seven of its last eight home games in comparable situations, while the Royals enter with a road record that has not always held up against strong National League clubs. Interleague play has historically tilted in favor of the Braves when hosting AL Central teams, with Atlanta capitalizing on pitching matchups and defensive execution at Truist Park. The Braves’ ability to limit big innings and manufacture runs in their home environment has been a recurring theme in successful moneyline outcomes.

This spot lines up neatly for Atlanta to handle the Royals outright, blending home dominance, a favorable head-to-head history, and the Royals’ road challenges. With the Braves enjoying the comfort of Truist Park and a track record of success in these exact circumstances, the moneyline presents a straightforward play for those looking to back the home favorite to start the series on the right foot.

PSP Data Driven 1* Under.

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind.

By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the Under. The total has gone UNDER in 12 of Boston's last 17 games. The Under is 5-0 in Boston's last 5 games against an opponent in the Eastern Conference.

Ricky's 1* play on TOR.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Toronto is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games.

- Toronto is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games at home.

- Toronto is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games when playing as the favourite.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

My selection is on the 'under' between Cleveland and Seattle at 9:45 pm et on Friday.

We saw a higher-scoring affair than expected to open this series last night as the Guardians prevailed 6-4. I'm anticipating a return to 'normal' at usually pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park on Friday as Cleveland sends Gavin Williams to the hill against George Kirby of the Mariners. Both pitchers got extended work in the Spring and held up reasonably well. They're also both front-of-the-rotation type of starters capable of keeping the opposing lineups in check. Note that current Mariners hitters are just 7-for-40 with a .514 OPS and only three extra base hits off of Williams. The Guardians have fared a little better off of Kirby going 19-for-62 with seven extra base hits. Entering his fifth big league season and with last year's playoff experience, Kirby is an experienced veteran at this point and I expect him to serve as a stopper for the M's off last night's defeat. Take the under (8*).

David's MLB Free Pick

Listed pitchers: Ragan vs Sale

We really like the underdog in this matchup. The Guardians were 31-17 (+5% ROI) against the runline as underdogs on the road last season, and their scheduled starter, Gavin Williams, posted a 2.45 ERA over two starts (11 innings) against Seattle. 

This is a FREE PLAY on the GUARDIANS +1.5.  

For my best free pick on the board here for Friday night in College Basketball I am looking at the Tennessee Volunteers and the Iowa State Cyclones. I don’t think many people had Tennessee in their final 16 teams so really no pressure in this game. We should see bettors flocking to this somewhat short number to bet Iowa State. Iowa State much better record and 6 straight covers. Love the Tennessee balanced attack here and I think we are looking here at a one possession game all night long. 

Play on Tennessee plus the points rotation #627

Free Play from Doc's Sports. Take USA/Belgium OVER 2.5 (3:30 p.m. EST, Saturday March 28) Both sides are firing lately and we see some goals being scored on Saturday in this World Cup tuneup. USA is playing well and coming off a 5-1 win over Uruguay. There are big expectations for the World Cup for this team on home soil, and we are finally starting to see the expected results. They have won four of five with one draw and they have 12 goals scored in that span. Since their home draw with North Macedonia in October, Belgium have notched 12 goals in their last three matches. Their offense has looked excellent in wearing down opposing defenses and making the most of their chances with accurate shots. The lone meeting between these sides in USA resulted in a 4-2 Belgium win. We don’t expect to see six goals here, but we think three or four are definitely likely.
