Game Analysis

Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Red Sox/Yankees UNDER 6.5

The Red Sox had the worst offense in September.  The Yankees have had one of the worst offenses in baseball without Aaron Judge.  Both teams have been riding their starters and bullpens to the postseason, and that will be the case in the playoffs as well.

Cam Schlittler is going to be your AL Cy Young winner.  He is 14-6 with a 1.95 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 33 starts this season.  He has owned the Red Sox, going 3-1 with a 0.56 ERA in five career starts against them while allowing just 2 earned runs in 32 1/3 innings.

Payton Tolle is 9-6 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 26 starts for the Red Sox this season.  He has been at his best on the road, going 6-3 with a 2.50 ERA and 0.97 WHIP In 12 starts away from home.  Tolle is 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA in two starts against the Yankees this season, allowing just one earned run in 13 innings with 18 K's.

The Red Sox have the best bullpen in baseball with a 3.00 ERA while the Yankees rank 2nd with a 3.15 ERA.  Bet the UNDER in Game 1 Tuesday.

NHL | Blackhawks vs Golden Knights
Play on: Blackhawks +1½ -115 at PlayMGM
Game Analysis

(#9) Chicago Blackhawks | ATS | . 

Opening night has finally arrived in the NHL & I expect fireworks from start to finish. It's a new season with 84 games about to be played by each team for the very first time. I believe that Chicago, even without Connor Bedard, can be a very sneaky team throughout this season. Although it made the Stanley Cup and had a very good chance of winning it all, Vegas started the year rather poorly up until the end of November. I believe that the same thing could occur this time around. There's no question that Vegas is probably the better team. But, expect Chicago to put up a good fight in the opener. I'll take the extra goal and a half.

Burns' Prediction: 3-2 Blackhawks.

Game Analysis

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR MONDAY, 9/28:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Monday is with the Tennessee Titans plus the points versus the Baltimore Ravens. Tennessee (0-3) remains winless this season after their 12-7 loss on the road in New York against the Giants as a 2.5-point underdog on Sunday. The Titans have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after losing three games in a row. And while first-year head coach Robert Saleh has a 23-35 ATS mark in his head coaching career mostly with the New York Jets, those Jets teams covered the point spread in 9 of their 13 games played in October which suggests his ability to make adjustments after the first month of the season. Baltimore (2-1) comes off a 34-31 last second victory against Dallas on Sunday in that game played in Brazil as a 3-point favorite. The Ravens return home where they have failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games. They have also covered the point spread in 10 of their last 16 games when favored. Take Tennessee plus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Frank has been featured here at Sportscapping.com since 2016. More substance, less hype. Evidence, not vibes. Careful. Thorough. Genuine. His reports document his professionalism.

Frank Sawyer’s Hollywood Sports remains on a 20 of 29 (69%) NFL run after DELIVERING their 25* NFL Sunday Night Football Game of the Month on Denver, despite a disappointing a 1-2 NFL mark yesterday! Frank is on a 27 of 38 (71%) All-Sports run with featured 25*/20*/10* plays and a 23 of 30 (77%) football run! Now Frank furthers his 13 of 16 (81%) NFL sides streak and his 10 of 14 (71%) NFL Game of the Month/Year mark with his 25* NFC Game of the Month for tonight’s Philadelphia-Chicago ATS winner on ABC-TV/ESPN at 8:15 PM ET! DO NOT MISS OUT!

Frank is on a 15 of 20 (75%) NFL Prime-Time run after last night’s 1-1 split — but Frank has SIX NFL PRIME-TIME SIDE/TOTAL SWEEPS since the Super Bowl to make it 19 NFL PRIME-TIME SWEEPS since last season and fuel his long-running 294 of 509 (58%) NFL Prime-Time run! Frank has 39 NFL PRIME-TIME SWEEPS since the start of the 2024 season — and his Hollywood Sports has 61 PRIME-TIME SWEEPS since the 2023 season and 81 NFL PRIME-TIME SWEEPS since the ’22 season! Frank is on a 33 of 53 (62%) NFL over/under streak — and now he has tonight’s Philadelphia-Chicago O/U winner! CA$H-IN Frank’s Monday Night Discounted Deal — IT’S A STEAL!

Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on CHW.

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 White Sox are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games.

- The Astros are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games.

- The White Sox are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 road games.

Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Cubs/Padres OVER 7

The Cubs have one of the best offenses in the majors scoring 5.3 runs per game.  They have been led by their offense this season with a mediocre staff.  The Padres showed what they were capable of down the stretch offensively.  They have scored at least 4 runs in 16 of their last 18 games overall, including 7 runs or more 11 times.  Matt Boyd has given up 8 earned runs in 9 innings in two starts against the Padres this season, both of which flew over the total with 16 combined runs in each.  Michael King gave up 5 earned runs in 4 innings to the Dodgers in his final start of the season.  The OVER is 5-1 in the last six meetings.  Give me the OVER.

Game Analysis

Free Play from Doc’s Sports: Take the Over in Maryland Terrapins at Nebraska Cornhuskers (4 p.m., Saturday, October 3, FS1). We faded Maryland with last week’s free play, and the Terrapins delivered a rough performance in a 54-3 home loss to UCLA. That result has turned up the heat on their head coach, and we expect a better offensive effort this Saturday. The bigger concern remains Maryland’s defense, which surrendered 34 points to Virginia Tech before allowing 54 to UCLA. Nebraska has been piling up points, scoring 49, 56, 34, and 31 in its first four games of 2026. With the Cornhuskers rolling offensively and Maryland looking to respond, we like this matchup to go over the total. Back the Over.

Game Analysis

Panthers +115

The Panthers and Canes open the season on ESPN and the Panthers have value. It was a down year last season for Florida, who battled injuries from day 1. They’re healthy and have all their key weapons back to make a run. This is a typical spot to fade the defending cup champions as well, as they’ll raise the banner for their Stanley Cup championship last season. It’ll be an emotional day and the Panthers will look to come out and make a statement early this season. At plus money, they’re the move. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Today's FREE selection is a strong lean on the PANTHERS ML. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

NFL | Cardinals vs Giants
Play on: Cardinals PK -110 at circa
Game Analysis

My selection is on Arizona over New York at 1 pm et on Sunday.

While the Giants enter this game with the better overall record, I don't think there's any question it's the Cardinals that appear to have more upside through three weeks of the season. I really liked the fight Arizona showed in last week's loss but ATS cover on the road against the 49ers. Bettors wanted no part of the Cards after their blowout loss at home against Seattle in Week 2. Keep in mind, the Seahawks had extra time to prepare for that matchup after opening the season on a Wednesday. That's not to mention the fact that the Cards were in a clear letdown after pulling off a road upset of the Chargers in Week 1. The situation on offense is bad enough for the Giants that they elected to sign Vikings cast-off QB J.J. McCarthy. Last week's win over Tennessee had everything to do with the ineptness of the Titans and very little to do with New York's own crisp play. That was an ugly game all around that to put bluntly, someone had to win. While the Giants might have had a chance to compete this year with a healthy Jaxson Dart at quarterback, I fully expect them to quickly fall well back of the pack with Jameis Winston running what already looks like a broken offense (the fact that they're bent on featuring RB Cam Skattebo as the focal point is the biggest red flag). Take Arizona (8*).

Play on: Avalanche -180 at Draft Kings
Game Analysis

Our selection is on the Colorado Avalanche to defeat the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday at 10:07pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

These teams played in round one of the NHL playoffs last year and Colorado won each and every game of that series.

The Avalanche couldn't get past Vegas. But, they were dealing with injuries in that series.

They are back and even better for this season.

Los Angeles lost it's captain, Anze Kopitar due to retirement.

The Kings will also be without Kevin Fiala still for the opening part of this season.

The play is on Colorado at home.

Game Analysis

Free Play – Take #6 Boston -105 over N.Y. Rangers (8:07 p.m. ET, Tuesday, September 29)

After Marco Sturm's head coaching debut ended with a surprise return to the Stanley Cup playoffs last spring, the Bruins are eager to begin the 2026-27 season with a Tuesday night visit from the New York Rangers. "I think (that experience is) a good thing. The message (to start training camp) was that we want to build on that," said Sturm, whose team suffered a first-round playoff exit against the Buffalo Sabres following a 100-point regular season. "We want to have that taste again. ... We want more. But we've got to earn it." Boston returns many of its core players, but will be without Charley McAvoy for six games as he serves a suspension. The Rangers start anew after finishing last in the Eastern Conference and missing the playoffs for the second straight season in 2025-26. New York has reworked its roster in hopes of returning to the postseason. Give me the Bruins at home on Day 1 of the NHL!

For my best free pick on the board for Tuesday in the NHL I am looking at the Florida Panthers at the Carolina Hurricanes. Hurricanes are a team that everyone loves to bet as they are perceived to be the top team in the NHL. I love plus money plays in the NHL and this one has the most value on opening night next to my premium selection. Panthers have owned the Hurricanes winning 6 of the last 8 head to head. That domination continues here on Tuesday Night.
