Play on: Phillies -118 at betonline

#903 ASA MLB FREE PLAY ON Philadelphia Phillies (-118) over Chicago Cubs, Thursday @ 2:20 ET - The Philles have lost 8 straight games and the Cubs have lost 8 straight games. Why in the world are the free-falling Phillies favored here? We certainly understand that sentiment but this is no mistake. Just like the NL East counterpart Mets ended their 12-game losing streak yesterday, now it is the Phillies turn. Yes, Philadelphia ace Christopher Sanchez is on the mound in this one. He has a 1.59 ERA this season. Even though the Cubs have Cabrera slated to go here and he has been solid on the mound this season, the right-hander is running into some dangerous left-handed bats with a lot of power in this one. The wind is blowing out today in Chicago and left-handed bats like Schwarber and Harper and Marsh all pose a particularly strong threat in conditions like this when facing a right-handed hurler.

MLB | SDG vs COL
Play on: OVER 11 -108

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the over in this matchup. Padres' starter Matt Waldron surrendered six runs on eight hits in 3.2 innings in his season-debut and Coors Field ain't the soft landing he needs. Colorado's Ryan Feltner knows all about it after conceding seven runs over 11 frames at home so far. Consider that Feltner gave up six ruins in a 9-5 loss at San Diego less than two weeks ago, and you'll understand why we think we'll see fireworks with tbis pitching matchup. 

 This is a FREE PLAY on the OVER!

MLB | Yankees vs Red Sox
Play on: Yankees -146 at betonline

This is a FREE PLAY on the Yankees.

I think the Yanks are going to complete the series sweep in Boston today by handing the ball to Cam Schlittler (2-1, 1.95 ERA), who is off an unfortunate no-decision to the Royals on Friday, allowing one unearned run with six K's over six frames.

The home side counters with Payton Tolle, who has been called up from Triple-A to make his season debut. Last year he posted a 6.06 ERA over 16 MLB innings.

Consider NEW YORK.

Good luck, NP

Play on: Knicks -110 at Draft Kings

Ricky's 1* play on NY.

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.

- New York is 6-2 SU in its last 8 games.

- Atlanta is 1-6 SU in its last 7 games when playing at home against New York.

- New York is 6-2 SU in its last 8 games against Atlanta.

Verdict: The value is on the road favorite.

NHL | Sabres vs Bruins
Play on: UNDER 6 -105

My selection is on the 'under' between Buffalo and Boston at 7 pm et on Thursday.

The Bruins did a nice job shaking off a blown third period lead in Game 1, responding with a 4-2 win in Game 2 on Tuesday. Now Boston returns home, where it has been incredibly stingy this season, allowing just 2.6 goals per game. The Sabres have played to a slightly lower average total on the road compared to at home this season and I think we'll see this series take a lower-scoring turn as the scene shifts to TD Garden for Game 3 on Thursday. Off an 'under' in Game 2, it's worth noting we've seen 'unders' come in bunches for the Bruins lately as they've posted four 'under' streaks lasting three games going back to February 26th. Since scoring 15 goals over a three-game stretch from April 8th to 13th, the Sabres have now produced just nine goals over their last three contests. Boston has yielded just eight goals over its last four home contests. Take the under (8*).

Hawks vs Knicks – Free Pick Breakdown

Opener: Atlanta P -108, 217 (Under -113)
Lookahead line: Hawks -1.5, 216.5
Best lines: Both +1.5 (NY -118, ATL -108)
Best totals: OVER 216.5 -104 / UNDER 216.5 -104

Splits on side:

Splits on total:

Projections:
Dunks & Threes: Knicks 112-111
SportsLine: Knicks 111-109
Massey: Knicks 114-113

Sharp Analysis

At first glance, the math screams OVER.
Combined scoring profiles:

Hawks: 118.1 PF / 115.9 PA = 234

Knicks: 116.4 PF / 110 PA = 229.4

Combined baseline: 231.7 vs posted 216.5

That’s a massive gap, and the public predictably piles on the OVER.

That’s exactly where the edge flips.

When the math total vs posted total discrepancy is this large, it triggers a long-term contrarian UNDER system (612-458-30). This is a classic case of leveraging oddsmaker shading vs public perception.

Add in playoff dynamics—slower pace, tighter rotations, defensive adjustments—and this becomes a textbook fade-the-public total.

Trends Snapshot

ATS:

Hawks 143-194-4 road off ≤50.6% shooting

Hawks 68-102 in this profile vs non-streak opponents

Knicks 43-65 in this exact situational spot

Totals:

Hawks OVER trends exist, but are already fully priced in here

Free Pick

Hawks-Knicks UNDER 216.5

Bonus Prop

Josh Hart OVER 8.5 rebounds

Minutes spike in playoffs

Averaging 13.5 RPG in the series

Hawks lack size to contain him

This is a classic contrarian totals setup: inflated perception vs disciplined number-making.

MLB | Twins vs Mets
Play on: Twins -106 at betus

Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Minnesota Twins -106

The New York Mets finally ended their 12-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Twins yesterday.  But I expect the Twins to bounce back today and take this series thanks to their big advantage on the mound.

Joe Ryan is one of the best starters in baseball going 2-2 with a 3.29 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in five starts this season.  Ryan has allowed just 5 earned runs and 12 base runners with 18 K's in 16 innings in his last three starts.  He held the Mets to one earned run in 5 innings in his lone career start against them.

The Mets will call up Christian Scott and move David Peterson to the bullpen.  Scott is 0-3 with a 4.56 ERA in nine career starts in the big leagues.  The Mets are really struggling at the plate scoring just 1.9 runs per game in their last 13 games.  They just lost Francisco Lindor to a hamstring injury yesterday to make matters worse.  Bet the Twins Thursday.

NBA | Cavs vs Raptors
Play on: Raptors +3 -105 at Bovada

For my best free pick on the board here for Thursday in NBA Playoff basketball I am looking at the Toronto Raptors hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cavs were one of the worst cover teams in the NBA this season but as of late they have caught fire covering 5 of the last 6 games. Toronto just 1-3 last 4 ATS. Toronto is at home this crowd should be rocking and I expect the best game of the season from the Toronto Raptors who always seem to float under the bettors radars. Look for a close game with Toronto pulling away with under 2 minutes to go. 

Play on the Toronto Raptors plus the points rotation #530
