Stephen Nover

Apr 17 '26, 6:45 PM in 12h
MLB | SFO vs WAS
Play on: OVER 8 -105

No National League team has played more Overs this season than Washington. The Over has cashed in 13 of Washington's 19 games. That's not a huge surprise considering the Nationals are averaging the second most runs in the majors while having the highest bullpen ERA at 6.15.

The Nationals have scored at least five runs in 14 of their 19 games. Now they host the Giants and Logan Webb, who has a history of pitching much worse on the road with a 3.98 ERA compared to a 2.90 ERA when pitching in San Francisco.

The Giants' run production is down on the season. But lately San Francisco's offense has shown life scoring at least six runs in three of the past five games. San Francisco ranks 11th in batting average.

Not only do the Giants get to face the worst bullpen in the majors, but also draw starting  pitcher Zack Littell. He has a 4.20 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP and has surrendered five homers in 15 innings.

(Editor's note: Stephen Nover has his MLB Total of the Week today in addition to this free selection. Stephen is having a winning baseball season and is 29-15 on his last 44 premium/free NBA plays and 31-16-2 on his last 49 NHL premium/free plays.)

Ricky Tran

Apr 17 '26, 8:40 PM in 14h
MLB | LAD vs COL
Play on: OVER 9½ -110

Ricky's 7* play on Over.

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.

- The Over is 6-3 in Colorado's last 9 games against an opponent in the National League West Division.

- The Over is 6-3 in LA Dodgers' last 9 games against an opponent in the National League.

- The Over is 12-6 in LA Dodgers' last 18 games played in April.

Verdict: We should see plenty of Points in this game.

Doc's Sports

Soccer | San Jose vs Los Angeles FC
Play on: UNDER 3¼ -115

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Take LAFC/San Jose UNDER (7 p.m. EST, Sunday April 19) This is a major Western Conference clash between two title contenders and these have been the best two defensive sides in MLS this season (along with Seattle). They have allowed a combined four goals through 14 combined matches! Not only is this a big match for Western Conference status, but this is a great test for the Earthquake to show how solid they really are this season. Two seasons ago this was one of the worst sides in MLS but they rebuilt quickly and have a great squad this season. LAFC probably has the best chance to represent the west in the MLS Cup, so San Jose will want to play well here and we think they lean into their defense. These sides are behind the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Western Conference standings, and that team has an easy matchup Friday, so both sides here will want to keep pace. These matchups have generally been high scoring, but the Earthquake are a more focused defensive side this season and we think they will treat this like a playoff matchup and dig deep defensively.
