1 Unit FREE PLAY on Nationals/Pirates OVER 7

With 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to left in Pittsburgh tonight this total of 7 is pretty short.  Paul Skenes always demands respect from a line and total perspective, but it's overblown.  Skenes is 2-1 with a 5.25 ERA in three starts this season.  The OVER is 3-0 in his three starts with 18, 11 and 8 combined runs.  The Nationals are 11-3-1 OVER in their 15 games this season with 9 or more combined runs in 12 of those 15 games.  Cade Cavalli has been fortunate with a 2.51 ERA in three starts with a 1.47 WHIP.  Cavalli gave up 3 earned runs in 5 innings against the Pirates last season.  The OVER is 3-0 in Cavalli's three starts this season with 14, 13 and 11 combined runs.  Give me the OVER.

MLB | LAA vs NYY
Play on: OVER 9 -105

OVER 9

New York and Los Angeles clash and this is a good over spot. Kikuchi goes for the Angels and he has been a struggle through three games, owning an ERA near 7. He’s allowed 11 runs over the 3 outings and has lacked a lot of command. New York counters with Will Warren, who isn’t working deep into games at all. He tends to throw a lot of pitches and the Angels are off a series that saw them score 22 runs. 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 Over 9. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Angels vs Yankees MLB FREE PICK

The Angle(s): Angels lefty Yusei Kikuchi has struggled early (0-2, 6.75 ERA), and their bullpen ranks among MLB's weakest, leaving little margin for error. Yankees righty Will Warren has been solid by comparison (1-0, 3.07 ERA), though note the Halos just erupted for 22 runs across their last three games.

The Bet: OVER (3%).

NHL | Hurricanes vs Flyers
Play on: Flyers -122 at betonline

Hurricanes vs Flyers 
7 EST 
3-Unit bet on the Flyers priced as a –120-favorite and the OVER. 
5-Unit bet on the OVER currently priced at 6 goals. 

10-UNIT MLB Underdog Game of the Month 

John Ryan’s Signature High-Stakes Opportunity 

John Ryan, a professional sports bettor with over 30 years of experience, is renowned for his selective and powerful 10-UNIT MAX bets across all sports. The current 10-Unit MLB Game of the Month features a significant underdog, validated by one of Ryan's proprietary betting algorithms. This algorithm has consistently averaged an underdog price of +150, delivering a remarkable 49% return on investment (ROI). For the Dime Bettor, these results translate to a $14,910 profit, while fans wagering $50 per game have earned $745 across only a few dozen games. 

Game Motivation and Betting Opportunity 

In this matchup, the Flyers are under significant pressure to secure a victory, as their postseason prospects hinge on winning this game. Conversely, the Hurricanes have already established their playoff standing and seeding, which may lead them to rest their star players and prioritize health over immediate results. 

If the betting line continues to price the Flyers as a slight favorite, it is advisable to place your bet without delay. Waiting longer is unlikely to result in better odds for the Flyers; instead, any shifts in the market are expected to increase the Flyers’ status as favorites. Acting promptly ensures you capture the optimal value before the line moves further in favor of the Flyers. 

NHL Betting Algorithm: High-Probability OVER Strategy 

Algorithm Performance Overview 

This NHL betting algorithm has demonstrated remarkable success since 2019, achieving a record of 59 wins, 26 losses, and 4 pushes when wagering on the OVER. This translates to a strong 69.4% win rate, underscoring its effectiveness in identifying high-value OVER bets. 

Betting Criteria 

Focus on betting the OVER during the second half of the NHL season. 

Target games where the road team is outscoring opponents by an average of 0.2 goals per game in the first period. 

The road team must have scored three or more goals in each of their previous five games. 

By adhering to these criteria, bettors can leverage this algorithm's proven track record and increase their chances of success when betting NHL totals.

NHL | Rangers vs Panthers
Play on: Rangers -129 at circa

My selection is on New York over Florida at 7:05 pm et on Monday.

The Rangers dropped their second straight game on Saturday, falling by a 2-0 score in Dallas. I look for them to snap that brief skid on Monday as they make a stop in Sunrise to take on the Panthers 'skeleton crew'. Florida is of course missing a number of key contributors due to injury at this point. The Panthers did snap their four-game slide on Saturday, delivering a 6-2 win in Toronto. Beating the Maple Leafs is no big accomplishment at this point, however. I look for them to have their hands full with the Blueshirts, who are 5-3 over their last eight contests, on Monday. Note that Florida checks in having allowed 3.9 goals per game over the last month and 4.1 goals per contest over the last two weeks. New York, meanwhile, has given up just 2.2 gpg over the last two weeks, outscoring opponents by an average margin of 1.3 goals over that stretch. Take New York (8*).

Alex Smart

Apr 13 '26, 7:07 PM in 1h
NHL | Rangers vs Panthers
Play on: UNDER 6½ -130

When the New York Rangers visit the Florida Panthers on Monday night at Amerant Bank Arena, the smartest totals play on the board is the under 6.5. This matchup lines up perfectly with both clubs’ season-long scoring patterns and recent trends that have consistently produced lower-event games, especially when these two teams share the ice.

The Rangers have been one of the NHL’s quieter offensive outfits all year, sitting near the bottom of the league in goals scored with just 229 through roughly 80 games. Their 33-38-9 record tells the story of a club that has struggled to generate consistent offense, particularly on the road where scoring has dried up even more noticeably in the second half. New York’s games have trended sharply toward the under lately, as their attack has failed to sustain pressure and their goaltending tandem has kept games within reach by limiting quality chances. That defensive-minded approach has turned what could have been higher-scoring affairs into tight, low-total contests on a regular basis.

Florida, while battling for positioning in the Atlantic, has built its identity around structured, disciplined hockey, especially at home. The Panthers have long favored a low-event style that emphasizes gap control and strong neutral-zone play, and that approach has shown up repeatedly against Eastern Conference foes like the Rangers. Even though the Panthers have allowed a few more goals overall this season than in championship years past, their home games still frequently stay under the number when facing teams that mirror their defensive commitment. The combination of Florida’s home-ice structure and New York’s sputtering offense creates a classic recipe for a game that stays below six goals.

Head-to-head history backs the trend as well. Recent meetings between these clubs have often stayed in the five-to-seven goal range, with several dipping comfortably under 6.5 thanks to strong goaltending on both sides and limited power-play success. Neither team has shown a sudden shift toward wide-open, run-and-gun hockey in the closing stretch of the schedule, and the Rangers’ road woes only reinforce the angle that this matchup stays controlled and low-scoring.

All the betting trends—season totals, recent form, home/road splits, and direct historical matchups, point the same direction here. The Rangers-Panthers game is tailor-made for the under 6.5, offering one of the cleanest totals leans on tonight’s NHL slate.

MLB | Marlins vs Braves
Play on: Braves -143 at circa

Jack's Free Pick Monday: Atlanta Braves -143

The Atlanta Braves are 4-1 in their last five games overall and are hitting the cover off the ball.  They have scored 7 runs or more in all four victories, including 13 yesterday against the Guardians.

The Miami Marlins are 1-5 on the road this season while scoring 2 runs or fewer four times.  They were just swept by the Tigers over the weekend and outscored 16-3 in the three losses.

Grant Holmes is 1-1 with a 2.55 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in three starts for the Braves this season.  Holmes pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings in a 7-0 victory over the Marlins in his lone start against them last season.

Eury Perez is 1-1 with a 5.06 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in three starts for the Marlins this season.  He has allowed 11 earned runs and 4 homers in 16 innings.  Perez is 0-2 with a 12.20 ERA and 2.13 WHIP in three career starts against the Braves, allowing 14 earned runs and 5 homers in 10 1/3 innings.  

Atlanta is 5-1 in its last six meetings with the Marlins while outscoring them 46-13 in the process.  Bet the Braves Monday.

MLB | Marlins vs Braves
Play on: Marlins +137 at Ace

For my best free pick on the board for Monday I am looking at Major league Baseball and the Miami Marlins at the Atlanta Braves. Eury Perez is one of my favorite young arms in baseball and he has been hit or miss to start the season but it’s hard to pass on this kind of plus money with the scrappy Miami Marlins. Grant Holmes has been solid to start the season but he is very hittable for this Marlins offense and I think they put a few up on the board early on him.

MLB | Rangers vs A's
Play on: Rangers -125 at betonline

This is a FREE PLAY on the Rangers.

These division rivals collide on Monday night with identical records. 

Texas is 5-4 on the road, while the A's are 2-1 at home.

The Rangers have won four of their last six following a 5-2 win at the Dodgers last night, while the Athletics enter off five straight road victories.

Nate Eovaldi has struggled for the Rangers to open the season, but Luis Severino hasn't been great for the A's either.

Eovaldi, though, is coming off his best start of the season, earning a win over the Mariners by allowing two runs and striking out seven over six innings.

I think the RANGERS cool off the red-hot A's, who come back down to the Earth in the opener of this four-game home series, after the extended run on the road.

Consider TEXAS.

Good luck, NP
