Play on: Diamondbacks -137 at Ace
Game Analysis

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Arizona Diamondbacks -137

The Arizona Diamondbacks have big advantages on the mound and at the plate over the Colorado Rockies today.  The Diamondbacks won Game 1 by a final of 9-1 on Friday finishing with 13 hits compared to just 4 for the Rockies.  It should be more of the same in Game 2 Saturday.

The Rockies have scored 3 runs or fewer in five of their last six games overall.  It won't get any easier for them against Eduardo Rodriquez, who is 4-0 with a 2.25 ERA in eight starts this season while allowing just 12 earned runs in 48 innings.

Rodriquez held the Rockies to just one earned run in 7 innings of an 8-2 victory in his last start against them, which was at Coors Field.  He is 3-0 with a 2.95 ERA in three career starts at Coors Field.  The Diamondbacks are also 6-0 in Rodriquez's six career starts against Colorado.

Tomoyuki Sugano is 3-3 with a 4.07 ERA in eight starts for the Rockies this season allowing 19 earned runs and 9 homers in 42 innings.  He is 2-2 with a 4.71 ERA in four starts at Coors Field this season.  Bet the Diamondbacks Saturday.

Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on SF.

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.

- San Francisco is 6-2 in its last 8 games against Athletics.

- Athletics is 3-9 in its last 12 games against an opponent in the National League West Division

- San Francisco is 7-2 in its last 9 games against an opponent in the American League West Division

Verdict: The value is on the Road underdog.

This is by far the BEST BET on the board. I will also MELT THE ICE in hockey tonight with my 16-4 NHL ICEBREAKER posted now for you.

Saturday’s FREE WINNER: Arizona Diamondbacks.

Game 951.

2:10 PM PST/3:10 PM EST.

Arizona is starting to find their rhythm, sitting just one game under .500 at 21-22. Meanwhile, no one expected too much of Colorado this season, and yet they are still underachieving, owning the worst record in the NL at 17-28. The Diamondback took game one of this series yesterday with authority, 9-1. That defeat was the Rockies seventh over their last 10 outings, and their third at home over their last four games played as host. Colorado doesn’t have too many bright spots. They rank 17th in scoring and 28th in team ERA. Speaking of which, they send Tomoyuki Sugano to the hill today. The right-hander is just 3-3 on the campaign with an ERA of 4.07. Over his last two outings, both losses, he was shelled for nine earned runs in 10.1 innings pitched. At home on the campaign, he is 2-2 with a whopping ERA of 4.71. For the Diamondbacks, Eduardo Rodriguez gets the nod. The left-hander is a perfect 4-0 in 2026 with an ERA of 2.25 as the team has won six of his eighth turns. By the way, they’ve won his last six starts. On the road this season, he is a perfect 1-0 with a 3.05 ERA. No matter how you slice it, Arizona looks like the play here. They’re looking to even out their record, against the team they have done well over the years, with a much stronger starter. Take the Diamondbacks. Thank you.

1* on Tampa Bay Rays -135

The Key: The Tampa Bay Rays are one of the best teams in baseball.  They have gone 17-3 in their last 20 games overall while yielding 3 runs or fewer in 16 of those 20 contests.  Nick Martinez is a big reason why, going 4-1 with a 1.70 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 8 starts for the Rays this year.  Sandy Alcantara is 3-2 with a 4.06 ERA in 9 starts for the Marlins, but 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA in 3 road starts.  Alcantara has yielded 8 ER in 10 2/3 innings in his last 2 starts against the Rays.  Take Tampa Bay.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on San Francisco Giants +120

The San Francisco Giants lost Game 1 yesterday.  I expect them to bounce back against the A's in Game 2 today.  Trevor McDonald has been awesome in the big leagues with a 2.08 ERA and 0.96 WHIP giving up only 7 earned runs in 30 1/3 innings.  Two of those starts came against the Dodgers.  Luis Severino is 2-4 with a 4.07 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in nine starts this season.  Severino is 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA in three home starts.  He has been terrible at home with the A's since moving to Sutter Health Park last season.  Severino gave up 5 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of a 7-2 loss to the Giants in his last start against them at home last season.  Give me the Giants.

MLB | PHI vs PIT
Play on: OVER 8 -115
Game Analysis

OVER 8

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh played to a wild affair on Friday and this one should be high scoring as well. Phili sends out Christopher Sanchez, who has had a bumpy start to his season at times. He’s had a couple of starts where he struggled with his command and he will have some issues with this deep Pirates lineup. Bubba Chandler has struggled as a whole this season and we saw what this Phili lineup can do on Friday, being led by Kyle Schwarber. 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 8. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

NHL | Sabres vs Canadiens
Play on: Sabres +150 at Buckeye
Game Analysis

My selection is on Buffalo over Montreal at 8 pm et on Saturday.

We'll back the Sabres on Saturday as they look to stave off elimination and force a seventh game in Buffalo. Montreal won Game 5 in lopsided fashion on Thursday, skating to a 6-3 victory. The Sabres got off to a hot start in that contest but fizzled over the game's final two periods. I'm confident we'll see Buffalo rebound here, noting that Montreal has notched consecutive wins only twice since April 5th. The Sabres have dropped two games in a row only once dating back to April 6th. The Habs are being priced as if they have a significant edge on Saturday and while home ice is important, it's not the be-all, end-all in the Stanley Cup Playoffs - as we've seen in this series with the road team taking three of the first five games. Take Buffalo (8*).

Game Analysis

Red Sox vs Braves MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): Red Sox left-hander Payton Tolle (1–2, 2.78) has often been an unlucky loser on an underperforming 16–26 club, allowing just five runs over four starts and more often than not doing his part to keep Boston in games.

Here, I like him at least not to take the loss against an Atlanta lineup that has stumbled to a 2–5 record as favorites when facing left-handed starters, suggesting this is not an ideal matchup profile for them.

The Bet: RED SOX (2%). 

Mike's Sunday 3-Pack of MLB Winners includes a 4% TOP PLAY, all for the same price as the top play by itself, effectively turning it into a true3-FOR-1 DEALfor your bankroll. Riding a scorching 23-11 (68%) all-sports heatersince May 5 for aprofit of +$11,050, Mike “The Moneymaker” Lundin is locked in and seeing the MLB board as clearly as it gets right now.

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the underdog in this matchup. The Reds are 12-5 against the RL as underdogs on the road and we expect plenty of positive regression for Reds RHP Chris Paddack (0-5, 7.63). This season's numbers are indeed horrendous, but there's a reason he's been in the big leagues since 2019.

This is a FREE PLAY on the REDS +1.5.
