Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the Cubs in this matchup. Shota Imanaga( 2-2, 3.15) has been a nightmare for the Diamondbacks. In 34 plate appearances against the current Arizona roster, he has allowed just four hits (.129 BA) and zero home runs. Ryne Nelson has struggled against the Cubs, with a 6.68 ERA in five career starts and the current Cubbies have a .338 BA against the right-hander. 

This is a FREE PLAY on the CUBS!

Play on: UNDER 7½ -105

UNDER 7.5

Milwaukee and Washington meet and we’re on the under. Milwaukee sends out Kyle Harrison, who owns an ERA of just 2.28. He’s been able to limit base runners and allowed just 1 hit through 6.0 innings last time out. Washington counters with Foster Griffin, who has been just as good as Harrison. He’s 3-0 with an ERA of just 2.67 and logged 7.0 shutout innings last time out. Run scoring chances will be at a premium in a game with a lot of quick innings. 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 | Phillies vs Marlins
Play on: Marlins -115 at betonline

My selection is on Miami over Philadelphia at 4:10 pm et on Saturday.

The Phillies took the opener of this series last night but I look for the Marlins to answer back on Saturday. Andrew Painter will take the ball for Philadelphia. He got off to a solid start this season but has shown considerable regression over his last two outings, allowing eight earned runs on 14 hits over just 9 2/3 innings of work. The Phillies have lost his last three starts. I'm not sure he's long for the Philadelphia rotation at this point, noting that he has allowed 37-of-108 batters he has faced to reach base, sporting a 1.50 WHIP through 24 big league innings. Max Meyer will counter for Miami. He owns a solid 3.30 FIP and 1.20 WHIP through six starts this season. While he's not really a candidate to work deep into a ball game, the Marlins bullpen has held up well - at least at home - this season, logging a 2.38 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with seven saves converted and only two blown in Miami. While the Marlins bats have been relatively quiet over the last week, so have the Phillies. In what projects as a lower-scoring affair, we'll get behind the Marlins as they look to bounce back. Take Miami (8*).

MLB | Phillies vs Marlins
Play on: Phillies +107 at Buckeye

AAA Sports' Selection: Philadelphia Phillies (ML).

Philadelphia will start Andrew Painter -- hasn't been great, but has also pitched against one of the best lineups in the MLB in back-to-back games in Atlanta.

The Phillies have won four games in a row, heating up after the bad start .

Miami will start Max Meyer -- he has been good, but slightly worse when playing at home.

The Marlins also have a losing record at the moment too, after beginning quite well.

They are just 1-5 over their L6 against Philly.

We're on the Phillies.

MLB | Dodgers vs Cardinals
Play on: Cardinals +127 at circa

1* Free Pick on Cardinals +127

The Dodgers are getting way too much respect on the road in this spot. The market is pricing them like they are invincible, but the data says otherwise.

St. Louis is a live home underdog tonight. They have found a rhythm at Busch Stadium and come into this game winning four of their last five at home.

The Dodgers' starting pitcher has a shiny ERA, but his FIP is nearly a full run higher. He has been getting lucky with strand rates that are simply not sustainable.

The Cardinals' lineup is disciplined and patient. They rank in the top ten in the league in walks and should force the Los Angeles starter into high pitch counts early.

Regression is coming for the Dodgers' rotation. St. Louis has a specific edge against right-handed pitching, ranking seventh in OPS over the last two weeks.

The Los Angeles bullpen is also gassed right now. They used their top three high-leverage arms in back-to-back games on Thursday and Friday.

If this game is tied or close in the seventh inning, the Cardinals have the fresher arms to close it out. That is a massive advantage when you are catching plus-money.

St. Louis has also dominated this head-to-head matchup at home recently. They have won six of the last eight meetings against the Dodgers in this stadium.

We are getting a great price on a home team that matches up perfectly with a tired opponent. The value is strictly on the Redbirds tonight.

I like the Cardinals ML (+127).

The Celtics have gone back-to-back games scoring fewer than 100 points. Boston has not shot the three-ball well. I look for Boston to shoot the seep ball better and for this game to edge over the number.

Ricky's 1* play on PHI.

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.

- Philadelphia is 7-2 in its last 9 games.

- Philadelphia is 13-3 in its last 16 games on the road.

- The Hurricanes are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games.

Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.

NHL | Flyers vs Hurricanes
Play on: OVER 5½ -116

For my best free pick on the board for Saturday NHL playoff Hockey I am looking at the Carolina Hurricanes hosting that Philadelphia Flyers here in game one of the Eastern Conference semi finals. Now everyone knows I love my unders in the playoffs but early on in this series I think we will see a boatload of goals here from these two clubs. Carolina has gone under the posited total in 6 of the last 7 games and the Flyers have gone under at a rate of 4-1-1 last 6. All this has lead to heavy betting early on the under but we are seeing some 6’s pop up there at the time I am recording this. 

Play on the OVER Carolina and Philadelphia

MLB | NYM vs LAA
Play on: UNDER 8 -115

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Mets/Angels UNDER 8

The Mets have one of the worst offenses in baseball in their current state.  They are scoring just 3.4 runs per game this season, and injuries are a big reason for it.  They are without three key hitters in Lindor, Robert Jr. and Polanco.  They have scored 4 runs or fewer in 15 of their last 17 games.

The Angels have scored 3 runs or fewer in three straight and nine of their last 12 games overall.  It won't get any easier for them today against one of the best young starters in baseball.  Nolan McLean is 1-2 with a 2.55 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in six starts this season, allowing just 10 earned runs, 2 homers and 30 base runners in 35 1/3 innings with a whopping 45 K's.

Lefty Reid Detmers has held his own for the Angels this season.  He has gone 1-2 with a 4.28 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in six starts, allowing 16 earned runs, 3 homers and 37 base runners in 33 2/3 innings with 36 K's.  The Mets are hitting .182 against left-handed starters this season.  Bet the UNDER in this game Saturday.

Play on: UNDER 8 -110

Mets vs Angels MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): Two struggling teams with just 23 wins over 65 games between the two of them will battle it out at Angel Stadium on Saturday. The Los Angeles Angels edged the series-opener 4-3 on Friday, and I think we'll see another low-scoring affair tonight. The Mets rank dead last for OBP and slugging, and near the bottom for many other hitting categories. The Angels have been doing a bit better over the season but have averaged only 3.8 runs per game over their last 10. 

The Bet: UNDER (3%). 

12-4 (75%), +$7,750 since Apr 26 with top-rated (4-5%) premium picks! Check out Mike's picks for Saturday if you want to win big.
