Jack's Free Pick Sunday: Mets/Angels UNDER 9

The Mets have one of the worst offenses in baseball in their current state.  They are scoring just 3.4 runs per game this season, and injuries are a big reason for it.  They are without three key hitters in Lindor, Robert Jr. and Polanco.  They have scored 4 runs or fewer in 16 of their last 18 games.

The Angels have scored 4 runs or fewer in four straight and 10 of their last 13 games overall, including 3 runs or fewer nine times.  Both lineups will struggle again today against two solid starting pitchers.

Clay Holmes is 3-2 with a 1.75 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in six starts for the Mets this season.  He has allowed just 7 earned runs and 3 homers in 36 innings.  He has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in all six starts.

Jack Kochanowicz has gone 2-0 with a 3.09 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in six starts for the Angels this season.  He has allowed 12 earned runs and just one homer in 35 innings.  Bet the UNDER in this game Sunday.

Game Analysis

You could have Bob Gibson versus Sandy Koufax and it would not matter given these weather conditions at Wrigley Field today. The wind is blowing out at more than 20 mph. There are going to be plenty of runs scored no matter who is on the mound.

But it just so happens that two pitchers, who are off to slow starts, are getting the call.

Merrill Kelly and his 9.20 ERA are vulnerable. The Cubs have scored the second most runs in baseball.

Cubs starter Matthew Boyd has a 7.00 ERA. Arizona has an above average offense.

This total is large, but not high enough given the gusty winds.

 (Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 8-3-1 on his last 12 baseball premium plays, 34-20 on his last 54 NBA premium plays and 35-20-2 on his last 57 NHL premium/free plays.)

Game Analysis

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 8-2 in Orlando's last 10 games.

- The Under is 4-2 in Detroit's last 6 games.

- The Under is 6-3 in Detroit's last 9 games against Orlando.

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

Game Analysis

Sunday Card has a GAME 7 NBA Executive LEVEL TIER 1 and an NHL Historical system that is PERFECT in Round 1 in ANY Sports that plays a 7 game series. We also have MLB and more. Comp play below.

The MLB Comp play at 1:35 eastern is on the Under 7.5 runs in the Reds at Pirates game. Rob notes that since 2004 home favorites off a home win where they scored 15 or more runs and allowed 6 or more runs to a Divisional opponent in the last game of a series are 10-1 to the under after the first series of the season. The Reds have Chase Burns going and he has allowed 2 or less runs in 5 of his 6 starts and shut the Pirates down through 5 allowing no runs with 7 strike outs on opening day.  The Pirates have Ashcraft going and he also has allowed 2 or less runs in 5 of his 6 starts. Look for a much lower scoring game here as this one stays under. GL Rob V-

OVER 9.5

St. Louis and the Dodgers are worth a move on the over. The Dodgers send out Justin Wrobleski, who will struggle against this Cards lineup. They have fared well all year with their ability to get guy on base and play situational ball by getting them over and getting them in. Dustin May counters and he’s struggled at times this year with command. That’s a recipe for disaster against this Dodgers lineup that can put up big numbers. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Tonight’s FREE selection is a strong lean on the OVER. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Game Analysis

Hey folks, hope this finds you kicking back on a lazy Sunday afternoon with a beverage of choice in hand. As your go-to guy for these picks, I’ve been poring over the Sunday slate, and the one totals spot that’s jumping out at me is the Over in the Atlanta Braves-Colorado Rockies game at Coors Field this afternoon.

Look, Coors has been baseball’s ultimate launching pad for decades now, and the numbers back it up in a big way. Historically, it’s led the league in runs scored per game more often than not, thanks to that thin mountain air that turns routine fly balls into souvenirs and inflates scoring by 15-20% compared to sea-level parks. Even in seasons where the Rockies as a team have struggled offensively, and let’s be honest, they’ve had their share of rough patches lately, the park itself still delivers fireworks. We’re talking games that routinely push into the double digits, especially when power-heavy lineups like Atlanta’s roll into town. The Braves have been mashing all year, and pairing them with Colorado’s home tendencies creates one of those classic “expect the unexpected” environments where overs have hit at a clip well north of 55% over long stretches.

Add in the Sunday angle, and it gets even more interesting. After a full weekend series, bullpens are often running on fumes by the finale, guys who’ve already thrown a ton of pitches in the thin air, where every outing takes a little extra out of you. That fatigue has a way of turning close games into track meets, and we’ve seen it play out repeatedly in Denver over the years. The recent series between these clubs has already shown some of that pop: high-run outputs in a couple of the earlier matchups, with homers flying and rallies coming from everywhere. It’s not rocket science(even though Coors is Rocket launching pad); it’s just the park and the situation lining up like they so often do here.

I’m not chasing anything fancy or overcomplicating it, just leaning into what the trends have shown time and again at this venue. If the total lands around that 10.5-11 mark (and it usually does for these Sunday Coors affairs), I’m all over the Over. It feels like the kind of spot where you sit back, enjoy the game, and watch the scoreboard keep ticking higher than expected.

Of course, baseball’s unpredictable (that’s why every edge counts?), so .... Let’s hope the ball keeps carrying today! Remember play smart , stay disciplined and shop for your best lines, if possible, from the most reputable sources.

Play on: OVER 202 -110
Game Analysis

My selection is on the 'over' between Orlando and Detroit at 3:30 pm et on Sunday.

Game 6 of this series was incredibly low-scoring as the Magic collapsed in the third quarter in a 93-79 defeat at home. Off that 'throwback' result on the hardwood, we'll call for a different story to unfold in Game 7 on Sunday, at least from a totals perspective. Note that the Magic have posted just two 'under' streaks going back to February 5th. Meanwhile, the Pistons have reeled off consecutive 'under' results across three streaks dating back to February 19th. While known for their defense, the 'over' is actually 15-10 in Detroit's last 25 contests. Take the over (8*).

Game Analysis

Guardians vs Athletics MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): The Cleveland Guardians had won left‑hander Parker Messick’s (3‑0, 1.73 ERA) first five starts before falling short 3‑2 to Tampa Bay his last time out, through no fault of his own. Messick delivered nine strikeouts and allowed just one run over 5⅔ innings, showing he’s still in terrific form, and I expect another strong outing against an Oakland lineup that has consistently struggled against left-handers. The A’s counter with Aaron Civale (2‑1, 3.23 ERA), who was torched for 13 runs over nine innings across two starts against Cleveland last season, an ugly blueprint the Guardians are more than ready to repeat.

The Bet: GUARDIANS (3%). 

The results don’t lie: 14-5 (74%), +$9,020 since Apr 26 with top-rated (4-5%) premium picks (9-2 NBA HEATER! For Sunday, Mike has three 4% TOP PLAYS (2 MLB, 1 NBA)!

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the underdog in this matchup. The Mets are a shaky 7-16 as favorites, and simply fading them blindly would have produced a 68% ROI this season. The Angels have been barking loud as home underdogs, and LHP Jack Kochanowicz (2-0, 3.09) has been very effective, flashing a 1.20 WHIP, and Kochanowicz has been especially sharp at home with a microscopic 0.79 ERA over two starts.
