Play on: Royals -109 at Draft Kings
Game Analysis

Angels starter Ryan Johnson is a near auto-fade for me especially in this price range. Johnson is 2-6 with a 6.71 ERA and 1.56 WHIP.

It is not like Johnson plays for a good team either where he can get bailed out. The Angels have the second worst record in baseball at 49-75. They rank last in scoring at home.

The Royals aren't much better, but they have the better pitcher and are a more dangerous team with Bobby Witt back healthy.

Second year KC starter Noah Cameron had a strong rookie season with a winning record and 2.99 ERA last year. He has been pitching better than his 4.45 ERA shows. Cameron has given up five runs in his last four starts spanning 28 2/3 innings. He has not allowed a home run during this time frame.

 (Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 24-10-1 on his last 35 baseball premium plays and has his Interleague Game of the Month today in addition to this free selection. Stephen also is 15-7 on his last 22 WNBA totals and has a WNBA Over/Under today, too.)

Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on TOR.

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 Blue Jays are 7-3 in their last 10 games.


- The Yankees are 2-4 in their last 6 games.

- The Blue Jays are 5-2 in the last 7 head to head meetings.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Game Analysis

Jack's Free Pick Sunday: Toronto Blue Jays -118

The Toronto Blue Jays are playing their best baseball of the season right now.  They have gone 5-1 in their last six games overall against the Red Sox and Yankees to pull within 0.5 games of the Rangers for the final wild card spot.

Look for the Blue Jays to continue their momentum today with ace Dylan Cease on the mound.  Cease is 7-5 with a 2.40 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 22 starts this season, and his 191 K's in 131 1/3 innings have him as the 2nd-favorite to win the Cy Young behind Cam Schlittler.  He faces a weak Yankees lineup that has scored a total of 2 runs in their last three games.

Ryan Weathers is 5-7 with a 3.69 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 23 starts for the Yankees this season.  Weathers does not enjoy facing the Blue Jays, going 0-1 with a 10.25 ERA in two starts against them in 2026 while allowing 11 earned runs and 4 homers in 9 2/3 innings.  Bet the Blue Jays Sunday.

Sunday MLB Divisional game of the year Headlines a Powerful 3 game MLB Pack along with Top level totals in the WNBA and Coppa Italia Soccer. Comp play below

The WNBA Comp play is on Chicago at 5 eastern. The Sky are in a nice system that has cashed 8 of 9 times since 2011 for road favorites of less than 5 that are off a road loss and allowed 80+ points, vs an opponent like Seattle that is off a home loss and has a .450 or less win percentage and also allowed 80+ points. The teams split a pair of high scoring games this season and both are well under .500. Chicago is a bit better overall and do qualify in the nice system tonight so we will back them here. GL Rob V-

MLB | SEA vs HOU
Play on: UNDER 7½ +100
Game Analysis

Jim's Free Play is on the UNDER between the Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros Sunday night.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo is far from a masher, but he’s dominating with his command right now. The righty enters Sunday at 8-8 with a 4.15 ERA and fantastic 1.10 WHIP. Woo is coming off of back-to-back scoreless outings, tossing five shutout innings against New York on Tuesday and seven scoreless against Detroit prior to that.

Opposing him is Houston Astros rookie right-hander Hunter Brown. Brown hasn’t been overpowering since returning from shoulder woes, but he does possess swing-and-miss stuff. He’s struck out eight hitters over each of his last two six-inning starts dating back to June 22nd at Toronto.

Seattle and Houston combined for 17 and 15 runs in the first two games of this series, but both starting matchups were quite atrocious. Sunday’s game features the best starting pitching tandem of the series and both clubs should have much more success preventing big innings early on. Houston was unable to muster more than two runs through seven innings Saturday night before scoring late, and Woo has excelled at keeping hitters off base this season.

I also like both of these managers turning to their best relievers in late innings if this game stays close. Sunday’s contest is being played in Houston, which is clinging to a small lead in the AL West. Managerial bullpen tendencies aside, I think Woo and Houston UNDER the total based on their respective starts from each team.

Jim's Free Play: 973. Mariners/Astros UNDER

Play on: White Sox -104 at betonline
Game Analysis

My selection is on Chicago over Detroit at 1:40 pm et on Sunday.

We'll take a flyer on the White Sox at a very reasonable price on Sunday as they send Sean Burke to the hill against Drew Anderson of the Tigers. Burke deserved better in his most recent start as he failed to collect a win despite allowing just one earned run on three hits over seven innings against the Reds. With a 3.31 FIP and 1.08 WHIP on the season, Burke is as underrated as they come in terms of starting pitchers. Little can be expected of Tigers starter Anderson. He's not a good candidate to work deep into the ball game against a White Sox lineup that can wear you out. The price is right to back Chicago as it continues its playoff push. Take Chicago (8*).

Red Sox vs Pirates MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): This looks like a prime spot to fade the Pittsburgh Pirates, who were shut out Saturday and continue to struggle immensely against left-handed pitching, sitting at just 11-24 (-43% ROI) versus southpaw starters this season. Boston turns to left-hander Patrick Sandoval (1-1, 3.30 ERA), and the Red Sox have won four of his five starts since he entered the rotation. Sandoval held Pittsburgh scoreless over seven dominant frames in his lone previous career start against them.

The Pirates are closing out the week relying heavily on a taxed bullpen game. Their middle relief corps has shown noticeable strain recently, giving Boston's lineup plenty of late-game advantages to exploit.

The Bet: Red Sox (3%). 

After a 2-2 MLB Saturday (+ a free pick winner), Sunday belongs to Mike Lundin. The sharpest mind in the room is releasing a 3-pick MLB premium package built around a 4% TOTAL TOP PLAY (9-4 MLB Totals Run), plus two more money plays ready to fire.

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

7-3 Last 10 Free Picks!!!

We really like the home team in this matchup. The line appears to be highly influenced by the Padres' recent six-game winning streak and Cleveland's recent skid, but we think this is an overreaction. The Guardians (60-64) got back on the winning track on Saturday with a 6-1 victory over San Diego, and Progressive Field remains a venue where Cleveland can flex its muscle against National League opponents. The Guardians are 6-3 as underdogs at home this season, and we think they can end the week with another upset.

This is a FREE PLAY on the GUARDIANS!

Game Analysis

Market Play: Yankees/Blue Jays Under

The total keeps dropping and the money is following it down — a good early signal on this one.

Both starters, Weathers and Cease, have trended Under in their recent outings. New York has been an Under team all season, and neither lineup has been especially dangerous at the plate lately. The bullpens behind both starters are solid, though I'd expect some regression from Toronto's pen as the season wears on. Both teams also have Monday off, which should mean full access to relievers with no need to hold anyone back.

Play: Yankees vs. Blue Jays Under 6.5 (-107)
