Angels vs Yankees MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): The New York Yankees have had a very mediocre 10-8 start to the season and they've lost left-hander Max Fried's last two starts, but that just makes me more convinced he's due for a big outing. In his last start, Fried was effective with just 11.8 pitches per innings through eight innings of a no decision against the Rays. The Angle have yet to name their starter, and I don't like their options. 

The Bet: YANKEES -1½ (3%).

Mike has a 3-pack featuring his STRONGEST MLB PLAY of the Day - Giants v. Reds, and two totals, putting a 3-1 MLB totals run to the test, and you can get them all for the same price as the top play alone, effectively making this a 3-for-1 deal!

PSP Data Driven 1* Over.

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. 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 Over. The Over is 4-1 in Milwaukee's last 5 games when playing as the favourite. The Over is 4-1 in Toronto's last 5 games.

Pat Corbin has been one of the worst starters in MLB fore years.  He has a 9.00 ERA in one start this season giving up 4 earned runs and 2 home runs in 4 innings.  Brandon Sproat has really struggled for the Brewers this season at 0-1 with a 10.45 ERA.  He has given up 12 earned runs and 4 home runs in 10 1/3 innings.  Both lineups should have their way with these two starting pitchers and bullpens today.  Give me the OVER.

MLB | TEX vs OAK
Play on: UNDER 9 -112

UNDER 9

Texas and the A’s meet and we’re on the under. Texas sends outs Jack Leiter, who has been hit or miss so far through three starts. He showed a lot of good signs last season and he does have one quality start under his belt already this season. The A’s counter with Jacob Lopez. He is off to a rough start, but has plenty of strike out stuff to have this Rangers lineup off balanced. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Tonight’s FREE selection is a strong lean on the UNDER. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

MLB | Rockies vs Astros
Play on: Astros -164 at betonline

(#968) Houston Astros | ML | . 

Juan Mejia (0-2, 5.40 ERA) vs. Ryan Weiss (0-2, 7.36 ERA). 

This is not a very good pitching matchup on Thursday by the numbers, whatsoever. However, I think this is a good time to ride the hot hand. The Astros have been perfect in the series so far, winning both games. Both of these starters are relief pitchers, meaning that we'll see a bullpen game from both. That being said, the team with the better relievers will have the upper hand, and I believe that it's Houston. No, this probably won't be the most watched game on Thursday. But, it's definitely one to consider. Astros complete the sweep. 

Burns' Prediction: 6-3 Astros.

Jack Jones

Apr 16 '26, 8:10 PM in 7h
MLB | COL vs HOU
Play on: OVER 8½ -105

Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Rockies/Astros OVER 8.5

The Houston Astros are 13-4 OVER in their last 17 games overall with 9 or more combined runs in 13 of those 17 games.  They are scoring 5.5 runs per game and allowing 6.0 runs per game this season.

The Astros should hang a big number on opener Juan Mejia and Chase Dollander tonight.  Mejia is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP while allowing 5 earned runs and 15 base runners in 8 1/3 innings this season.  Dollander is 3-13 with a 6.29 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 111 2/3 innings in his career in the big leagues, including a 4.61 ERA in 13 2/3 innings this season.

Ryan Weiss is 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA and 2.09 WHIP while allowing 9 earned runs, 3 homers and 23 base runners in 11 innings this season for the Astros.  The rookie has been in over his head thus far and likely won't go very deep in this one.  He'll exit to a terrible Houston bullpen that has posted a 6.12 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 82 1/3 innings this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

Apr 16 '26, 8:10 PM in 7h
MLB | Rockies vs Astros
Play on: Astros -1½ +110 at betus

Jim's Free Play: 968. Astros -1.5 Runs 

Houston excels in categories we like such as pitching, lineup depth and late-game stability. They should be favored to cover this 1.5 run spread versus Colorado. The Rockies offense often fades away on the road and especially away from Coors Field. Colorado simply doesn’t have the firepower to launch home runs or produce extended rallies in pitcher friendly environments. Houston has the pitching matchup advantage and the Astros lineup has more depth and discipline to take advantage early against Colorado’s shaky rotation. When this game shifts to the bullpens Houston has even more of an advantage. Houston’s bullpen is much deeper and capable of locking down leads. Colorado’s relief corps has been one of the worst in baseball. Houston has the starting pitching, lineup production, bullpen depth and home field advantage to separate.

MLB | SEA vs SDG
Play on: UNDER 8½ -115

My selection is on the 'under' between Seattle and San Diego at 8:40 pm et on Thursday.

We saw a high-scoring game between these two teams last night with the Padres rallying for a stunning come-from-behind victory in walk-off fashion. I'm expecting a different story to unfold on Thursday as Seattle sends Luis Castillo to the hill against Walker Buehler of San Diego. Castillo will be looking to rebound after getting roughed up by the Astros last time out. Through three starts spanning 13 innings this season he has logged a 3.16 FIP. I like his chances of rebounding with a quality outing at pitcher-friendly Petco Park. Buehler looked like he was finished as a viable big league starter a couple of years ago, largely due to injuries. He's rebounded nicely since joining the Phillies late last season and now the Padres. So far this year, Buehler owns a 3.87 FIP and 1.26 WHIP through three starts. Despite the Mariners ninth inning meltdown last night, I do trust both of these bullpens. Seattle's 'pen still owns a 2.88 ERA and 1.19 WHIP on the season while Padres relievers have logged a 3.04 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Take the under (8*).

Soccer | San Jose vs Los Angeles FC
Play on: UNDER 3¼ -115

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Take LAFC/San Jose UNDER (7 p.m. EST, Sunday April 19) This is a major Western Conference clash between two title contenders and these have been the best two defensive sides in MLS this season (along with Seattle). They have allowed a combined four goals through 14 combined matches! Not only is this a big match for Western Conference status, but this is a great test for the Earthquake to show how solid they really are this season. Two seasons ago this was one of the worst sides in MLS but they rebuilt quickly and have a great squad this season. LAFC probably has the best chance to represent the west in the MLS Cup, so San Jose will want to play well here and we think they lean into their defense. These sides are behind the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Western Conference standings, and that team has an easy matchup Friday, so both sides here will want to keep pace. These matchups have generally been high scoring, but the Earthquake are a more focused defensive side this season and we think they will treat this like a playoff matchup and dig deep defensively.
