Today's Free Sports Picks & Predictions from Best Betting ATS Experts

NBA | Cavs vs Raptors
Play on: Cavs -3½ -115 at PlayMGM

My selection is on Cleveland minus the points over Toronto at 1 pm et on Sunday.

The Raptors got back into this series with a decisive win in Game 3 on Thursday. I expect the Cavaliers to answer back on Sunday. Note that the straight-up winner has gone an incredible 24-1 ATS in the Raptors last 25 games. Meanwhile, Cleveland has suffered consecutive losses only once going all the way back to December 29th. Despite the loss on Thursday, the Cavs are still 5-2 ATS over their last seven contests. At an even 8-8 ATS over its last 16 games, it would be par for the course for Toronto to drop the cash in this spot. Take Cleveland (8*).

MLB | BOS vs BAL
Play on: UNDER 7½ -110

Opener: Orioles -135
Best lines: Red Sox +130 / Orioles -130
Best totals: Over 7.5 (+100) / Under 7.5 (+100)

Splits on side:
44% of bets, 69% of money on Red Sox
56% of bets, 31% of money on Orioles

Splits on total:
98% of bets, 96% of money on OVER

When comparing today’s total to the total in at least one of the starters’ previous starts, produces an under angle that goes under +200.35 units. We have contrarian indexes worldwide: offshore, Vegas, all US states where betting is rightfully legal, and still substantial “outlaw” intel from other states. This as a very strong corroborated contrarian bet worldwide. Outlaw line kept this from being a premium bet, but still strong wager!

Another winning night goes in the books—4-3 from Joe Duffy.

ASA

Apr 26 '26, 1:35 PM in 3h
MLB | Phillies vs Braves
Play on: Braves -160 at PlayMGM

#952 ASA MLB FREE PLAY ON Atlanta Braves (-160) over Philadelphia Phillies, Sunday @ 1:35 ET - The Philles finally snapped their very long losing streak with the extra innings win yesterday here in Atlanta. However, one win certainly does not change everything and the Braves have the pitching edge here and have been having the much stronger start to this season. This is a first versus worst situation in the NL East and Sale has looked much better on the mound than the consistently struggling Nola. The latter continues to be plagued by big innings as he will pitch well for awhile but then will be done in by a big inning or two in almost each and every start. Grabbing a strong home team off a loss is the way to go here. Lay the price with the home team for a free play Sunday. FREE PLAY on Atlanta -160

MLB | Twins vs Rays
Play on: Rays -140 at circa

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the home favorite in this matchup. The reeling Twins have just one W in their last 10, and had dropped RHP Simeon Woods Richardson's (0-3, 5.96 ERA) first four starts before scraping by in his latest. The Rays have dropped six runs a pop in three straight dubs.

 This is a FREE PLAY on the RAYS!

MLB | PIT vs MIL
Play on: UNDER 7½ -110

Pirates vs Brewers MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Pittsburgh Pirates are 4-0 to the under in Carmen Mlodzinski's (1-1, 3.28) four starts this year, while Brewers sit 2-2 O/U in Kyle Harrison's (1-1, 3.06) four outings. Both squads averaging damn near five runs a game, but these starters crush day games and both bullpens are above average. I like the under.

The Bet: UNDER (3%).

Soccer | Real Salt Lake vs LA Galaxy
Play on: LA Galaxy +132 at Bovada

It’s a quiet Sunday in MLS with just one game on the docket, but damn if it doesn’t feel like a perfect betting spot. The LA Galaxy are hosting Real Salt Lake at Dignity Health Sports Park, and if you dig into the numbers, this one screams home side value.

Real Salt Lake have been one of the stronger teams early in the season, sitting around 5-1-2 with 16 points and putting up solid attacking numbers. They’re clicking on both ends and carrying real momentum into California. But here’s where the fun starts: put them on the road against the Galaxy in this building and suddenly they look like a completely different squad. LA is undefeated in their last nine home meetings against RSL across all competitions. Nine straight. That’s not just a nice little streak, it’s borderline ownership. The all-time head-to-head favors the Galaxy too, with something like a 26-20-15 edge overall and an even more lopsided 19-7-5 mark at home.

The Galaxy themselves are hovering around 2-3-4 on the year with 9 points, nothing flashy, but they’ve shown they can flip the switch at home. These matchups have a habit of delivering goals , we’re talking an average of over 3 goals per game historically , and both teams finding the net more often than not. RSL might come in hot, but they’ve got this tendency to concede early on the road, hand the crowd energy, and spend the night chasing shadows while the Hollywood types in the stands get louder.

Layer in the venue advantage, that ridiculous home dominance trend, and the fact that LA simply doesn’t roll over in this rivalry on their own turf, and the moneyline on the Galaxy starts looking like the cleanest play on the board. It’s not about them being the better team on paper right now , it’s about the pitch, the history, and the numbers that keep repeating themselves.

So yeah, I’m riding with the LA Galaxy straight up on the moneyline. Watch the home side lean on that fortress mentality, and let the streak do the talking. Hey I know better than just about anyone, that trends are great until they’re not, but this one feels pretty damn sturdy.

NBA | Lakers vs Rockets
Play on: Rockets -4½ -115 at Draft Kings

For my best free pick on the board here for Sunday I am looking at the Houston Rockets hosting the LA Lakers. Ive lost 3 straight premium picks on the Houston Rockets but will still have a small play on them here on Sunday as I am sure the world will be loading up on the Lakers spread and ML. Rockets back to the wall it’s now or never for this team. Look for the Lakers to get up at half and the Rockets to fight back and win by 10 when it’s all set and done. 

Play on the Houston Rockets minus the points rotation #558

NHL | Oilers vs Ducks
Play on: Oilers -126 at circa

Free Play – Take #919 Edmonton -126 over Anaheim (9:30 p.m. ET, Sunday, April 26)

Does Anaheim have Edmonton right where they want them, at home with 2-1 series lead, with the only loss coming with less than two minutes left of Game 1 in Western Canada. The Oilers only nipped the Ducks by a point in the same division and actually had two fewer wins than Anaheim. There has been little defense in this series with three OVERs, and the Ducks have scored six and seven goals in winning the last two games. Nonetheless, home underdogs of +100 to +200, allowing 2.85+ goals a game, after scoring five goals or more in two straight games, are 10-54 in their next outing.

DOUG UPSTONE is rolling at 31-21 the last 15 days on all picks. Dating back to last year, Doug is on a 19-7 NBA Playoff run, on a sharp 47-28 in hockey, plus on a 107-82 baseball run!

>NHL Saturday Top Play! 47-28 run

>NBA Knicks/Hawks Game 4 Winner! Runs of 4-0, 9-2 & 19-7
