Monday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Cubs -1.5 (-105) 

Here’s a fresh take on tonight’s Rays-Blue Jays matchup that feels worth circling on a quiet Monday slate. I’ve been watching this AL East battle for years, and the story tonight boils down to a sharp pitching mismatch in a building that usually rewards the home side.

The Tampa Bay Rays roll into this one sitting at 21-12 overall and a very comfortable 11-4 at Tropicana Field. That’s not just a nice record, it’s the kind of home dominance that tends to show up in the win column when the favorite is getting the run they deserve. Toronto, meanwhile, is 16-18 and a rough 6-10 on the road, where they’ve struggled to put consistent innings together away from home. Divisional games like this already carry extra weight, but when one team is playing above .600 at home and the other is barely scraping .400 away, the angle writes itself.

What really tips the scales, though, is the starting pitching. Nick Martinez has been outstanding for the Rays, 2-1 with a 1.70 ERA and a WHIP that barely cracks 1.00 through his first handful of starts. He’s limiting hard contact and keeping runners off the bases, which plays perfectly in a park that already suppresses offense. On the flip side, Eric Lauer has been banged around to the tune of a 6.00 ERA and 1-3 record. That’s not a small-sample fluke; it’s a guy who’s been giving up runs in bunches lately, and facing a Rays lineup that’s been clicking on both sides of the ball.

Look back over the recent trends and you see the Rays winning nine of their last ten games, including a strong 4-1 clip in the most recent stretch. They’ve been outscoring opponents comfortably and their bullpen has been reliable once the starter hands the ball over. Toronto has shown flashes, 6-3 in their last nine overall, but the road woes and the head-to-head history in St. Petersburg (where the total has gone under in eight of the Jays’ last ten visits) suggest this could be a low-scoring grind that favors the team with the better arm on the mound.

I’m not one to chase every favorite, but this feels like the kind of spot where the market is respecting the Rays’ recent form and home edge without overreacting. Around -118 to -120 feels like the right price for a club that’s simply playing better baseball right now. If you’re looking for a Monday night play with some legs, backing Tampa Bay to handle business at home checks the boxes: pitching advantage, venue edge, and a team that’s been cashing tickets lately

My selection is on New York minus the points over Philadelphia at 8 pm et on Monday.

We'll lay the points with the Knicks on Monday as they open their much-anticipated second round series against the 76ers. Philadelphia of course completed a massive series comeback against the Celtics, defying the odds with three straight wins to take it in seven games. I don't feel the Sixers are well-positioned to keep their three-game ATS winning streak going on Monday, however, noting that they haven't delivered the cash in more than three games in a row a single time going back to December 23rd. The Knicks also enter on a three-game ATS winning streak but they have three streaks lasting even longer to their credit since January 21st alone. I look for New York to grab the upper hand in Game 1 on Monday and will note that the straight-up winner is 24-2 ATS in Philadelphia's last 26 contests. Take New York (8*).

Guardians vs Royals MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bibee (0-4, 4.08 ERA) while solid at home, he’s been lit up on the road with a 7.90 ERA over three starts, two of which went over the total. The Royals turn to Michael Wacha (2-2, 3.13 ERA), who opened the season strong but has given up 10 runs on 15 hits over his last two outings, ramping up the volatility. Kansas City has averaged 5.8 runs per nine over its last 10 games, and Cleveland’s offense was on a heater before a 7-1 loss to Oakland on Sunday.

The Guardians have more overs than unders after scoring just one run in their previous game, and as a tasty extra nugget, they are 7-0 straight-up after scoring one run in their last outing.

The Bet: OVER (3%). 

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the home team in this matchup. The line appears to be influenced by Rays' RHP Nick Martinez' (2-1, 1.70)  6.66 ERA in six career outings (four starts) against Toronto, but the last start was in 2024 and the one before that in 2017. He's held the current Toronto lineup to a .232 AVG over 56 at bats. Blue Jays' LHP Eric Lauer (1-3, 6.00) has a 7.08 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in seven career appearances (four starts) against the Rays with more meetings in recent seasons.
