Soccer | Sassuolo Calcio vs Torino
Play on: Torino +151 at betonline

Friday Rob has his 2X PERFECT WEST CONF 2nd ROUND PLAY OF THE YEAR Along with WNBA Opening Game 1 Power system and the MLB Friday night Hot side and NHL Totals Combo Pack. Soccer com below

The Friday SERIE A comp play is on Torino. Game 201242 at 2:45 eastern. Torino has a strong home field and are unbeaten here in the last 4. Torino will be motivated coming off a 2-0 loss to Udinese in their last match. Calcio is off an impressive 2-0 win over AC Milan but has struggled on the road. Both teams are similarly ranked in the table at 10th and 13th and while this appears to be a tight lower scoring game. We will side with the home team to eke out a win and bag the three points. Take Torino. GL Rob V-

NHL | Canadiens vs Sabres
Play on: UNDER 6 -118

My selection is on the 'under' between Montreal and Buffalo at 7 pm et on Friday.

We saw Game 1 of this series go 'over' the total thanks to six goals in the first two periods but I think we're well-positioned for a lower-scoring affair in Game 2. Note that the Canadiens have seen consecutive games go 'over' the total just once since March 10th and only twice going back to January 22nd. Meanwhile, the Sabres have recorded an 'over' streak just once since March 28th and that was a brief two-game streak that stretched across their final game of the regular season into their first game of the playoffs. This total has been bumped up for Game 2 but I think I'm not sure the move is warranted as the Habs will look to tighten things up after a shaky defensive effort in Game 1. Take the under (8*).

MLB | TAM vs BOS
Play on: OVER 8½ -115

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the over in this matchup. The Red Sox have scored 23 runs over their last four games, and even in yesterday’s 8–4 loss to the Rays, run production clearly wasn’t the issue. It could be a similar story tonight with Connelly Early (2–2, 3.79) coming off his worst start of the year (4 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, 1 HR) and Tampa Bay’s Jesse Scholtens (3–1, 3.18) having allowed five runs in 5.2 IP in his first start of the season. The Rays enter this matchup on a multi‑game win streak, averaging over 5 runs per game during that span.

This is a FREE PLAY on the OVER!

MLB | Twins vs Guardians
Play on: Guardians -138 at Buckeye

Ricky's 1* play on CLE.

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.

- Cleveland is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games when playing at home against Minnesota.

- Minnesota is 5-15 SU in its last 20 games.

- Minnesota is 1-7 SU in its last 8 games on the road.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

MLB | MIN vs CLE
Play on: UNDER 7½ +100

Twins vs Guardians MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Cleveland Guardians bats have been quiet most of the season, and Twins left-hander Connor Prielipp (1-0, 3.86 ERA) has had a respectable first three starts in the big leagues. Cleveland also hands the ball to a southpaw in Parker Messick (3-1, 2.40 ERA) who has even better numbers, and that despite giving up four runs last time out. Gimme the under. 

The Bet: UNDER (3%).

WNBA | Mystics vs Toronto Tempo
Play on: Toronto Tempo +1 -110 at Bovada

I’m riding with the Tempo to cover the spread. It’s a tight number, Toronto sits as a 1 to 1.5-point home favorite or dog but that debut-night buzz in a brand-new market has a way of turning close games into just enough of a push for the home side.

Expansion teams hosting their very first game have a built-in spark that’s hard to quantify but easy to feel. The crowd will be loud, the players extra motivated, and suddenly those little extra efforts, diving for loose balls, communicating louder on switches, add up to a few more points than the visitor can match. Toronto’s backcourt, anchored by savvy veterans who’ve been through big moments, should thrive in that environment. They can dictate pace, create shots in transition, and keep things organized when the game gets sloppy, which opening nights have a habit of doing.

On the other side, Washington is still a young, rebuilding group that’s struggled on the road in recent seasons. They’ve dropped three of their last four season-opening road games, and their frontcourt depth looks thinned out right now with a couple of key pieces unavailable. Young teams tend to cough up the ball more when the lights are brightest and the travel hits, and those mistakes usually turn into easy scoring chances the other way. It’s not that the Mystics can’t hang, they’ve got talent that can score in bunches, but consistency away from home has been an issue for them.

I’ve watched enough of these early-season debuts to know they rarely play out like a perfectly scripted chess match. There’s rust, there’s adrenaline, and there’s that intangible “we’re making history tonight” factor for Toronto that I think carries them across the spread. Nothing crazy like a double-digit win, just a gritty 4- to 7-point victory that feels right for an inaugural home game.

This one has all the makings of an interesting matchup that will help us evaluate both sides.I am expecting back-and-forth battle with plenty of storylines. I’m personally also interested for financial reasons obviously, to see how the Tempo handle their first real test in front of their new fans, and I like them finding just enough at the end to cover. As always, these openers can be unpredictable, so bet what fits your comfort level and enjoy the start of what should be a memorable season for the league. Tip-off is coming fast, let’s route for that home debut magic shows up right away.

NBA | Spurs vs Wolves
Play on: Wolves +5 -110 at circa

For my best free pick on the board here for Friday I am looking at the San Antonio Spurs at the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wolves stole game one and you can tell this team came out flat in game 2 losing that one and getting embarrassed in the process as the final score was 133-95. That loss should get the fickle bettors back on the side of the San Antonio Spurs in a huge way here on Friday night and I am going to wait until closer to to tip to get the best price on this one. Look for Minnesota to shock the world and pull another big upset but me myself I will take any and all points here for safety. 

Play on the Minnesota Timberwolves plus the points rotation #574

MLB | Braves vs Dodgers
Play on: Braves +105 at Buckeye

This is a FREE PLAY on the Braves.

LA is 12-6 at home, but Atlanta is 14-6 on the road.

Sheehan enters 2-1 with a 5.23 ERA for the Dodgers, as he's been the beneficiary of some great run support.

But the Dodgers could have difficulty plating runs tonight facing Sale, who is 6-1 with a 2.14 ERA and 0.90 WHIP.

Look for the crafty veteran southpaw to continue his resurgence with another gem at Dodgers Stadium and consider the BRAVES on Friday night.

Good luck, NP
