The MLB Comp Play is on the Under 8 runs in the Houston at Cleveland game at 6:40 eastern. The Astros come in here off 4 straight home favored losses. Rob notes that road dogs off 4 straight home favored losses are 14-1 to the under since 2004 vs an opponent like Cleveland that is off a home win. Cleveland has Slade Cecconi going and his rough outings have all been on the road but he pitches well here at home. Gordon goes for Houston and his first two starts have not gone too well. However he does have 10Ks in 5 innings and one of those starts was in Colorado. Look for this game to stay Under tonight. GL Rob V-

My selection is on Washington +1.5 runs over Atlanta at 6:45 pm et on Monday.

The Nationals snapped their two-game slide with a 3-0 victory over the Giants yesterday. While certainly not on the same level as the red hot Braves, I do think the Nats' are well-positioned to hang tough in Monday's series-opener in Washington. Atlanta will travel to the nation's capital off last night's series sweep clinching 4-2 win in Philadelphia. The Braves will hand the ball to Bryce Elder on Monday as he pitches on short rest after starting in a 6-3 win over Miami last Wednesday. Elder is off to a terrific start and it's really come out of nowhere after he struggled in recent years. I don't think this is a great matchup for Elder, however, noting that current Nats' hitters have gone 17-for-44 (.386) with a .958 OPS against him. Jake Irvin will counter for Washington. He's had one bad start against the Dodgers but kept his team in the game in his other three outings, including last time out as he held the Pirates to two earned runs over five innings. The Nats' bullpen is in good shape after using just one reliever in yesterday's shutout victory. Atlanta used five of its six relievers in last night's win. Take Washington +1.5 runs (8*).

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the home underdog in this matchup. The Nationals check in at 10-10 with solid ROI as underdogs. They've split all four of Jake Irvin's starts (1-2, 6.16 ERA) despite closing as hefty 140+ dogs each time, and they'll relish facing Bryce Elder after beating Atlanta in both of his starts vs. Washington last season.

 This is a FREE PLAY on the NATIONALS.

With the posted total lower than both starters’ recent games, this falls into a strong UNDER profile (667-494-55). Again, the Outlaw Line holds it just below Wise Guy level, yet the underlying math supports a quality play.

Joe Duffy releases a loaded Monday card: 2 NHL highlighted by a Wise Guy, 3 NBA, and 4 MLB. The Grandmaster stands at 40-26 overall, including a 9-5 NBA playoff run.

Monday's MLB Free Pick

PLAY ON: Cubs -104

Phillies vs Cubs MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): Both Colin Rea (2-0, 3.63 ERA) and Aaron Nola (1-1, 4.03 ERA) are reliable solid pitchers. The Phillies' offense has frozen up with just five runs over their last four games, while the Cubs have cooled sharply after dropping 10+ runs in three straight last week (twice vs. Philly).

The Bet: UNDER (3%).

Monday’s FREE WINNER: Dallas Stars.

Game 48.

6:30 PM PST/9:30 PM EST.

As of posting this Free Play, I see most of the general public coming in on the Dallas Stars. I’m not going to lie to you, I liked Dallas in the first game of this series, and not only did I lose, I lost badly. The Minnesota Wild came out and destroyed the home team in Game 1, 6-1. Yes, it’s true, Minnesota has taken five of the last eight matchups with Dallas going back to late-December of 2024. And they are pretty good team, amassing an overall record this season of 47-24-12, which does include a 24-14-4 away mark. They rank in the top-10 in the NHL in both goals scored (3.3) and goals against (2.9). As I mentioned a moment, this team is a good team. But so are the Dallas stars. They possess an overall record of 50-21-12, and are one of the stronger teams playing on their own ice in hockey this season, going 26-12-4 at the American Airlines Arena. Prior to Saturday’s defeat, they were riding a five-game hot streak. They too possess some very good numbers, ranking ninth in the NHL in goals scored (3.3), and second in goals against (2.7). I feel the Stars must come out here and prove a point. Yes, obviously they must get a win here to even up the series. But I really think they need to come out here and make a statement to the Wild, and win with authority. Take Dallas. Thank you.

Ricky's 1* play on Under.

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 Under is 3-0 in the Blue Jays last 3 meetings.

- The Under is 4-1 in the Angels last 5 games.

- The Under is 3-0 in the Angels last 3 home games.

Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.

his is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER Jays/Angels.

We have two teams that have struggled for the most part colliding in LA on Monday night and I believe that all signs point to a classic "duel."

The Jays hand the ball to Dylan Cease (0-0, 1.74 ERA), while the home side counters with Reid Detmers (1-1, 3.57 ERA).

Look for these capable starters to battle into the deeper innings and for that to ultimately help in driving this total UNDER the number.

Good luck, NP

For my best free pick on the board here for Monday I am looking at NBA action and the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Denver Nuggets. Same line here basically as game 1 even though the Nuggets won by 11 and covered the number. I am expecting a lot closer game here in game 2 this Minnesota team very talented and I see this series going 7 games and for that to happen would see a lot of close games. Look for Minnesota to be up 10 at the half and hang on for a nice easy cover but probably will lose this game out rite at the end. 

Play on the Minnesota Timberwolves plus the points rotation #505 +
