Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Blue Jays/Red Sox OVER 9.5

Temps will be in the 70's with light winds blowing out to left at Fenway Park tonight.  That will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket as both offenses should have their way with these two overmatched starting pitchers.

Max Scherzer is 1-4 with a 10.23 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in six starts for the Blue Jays this season.  He has allowed 25 earned runs and 9 homers in 22 innings.  Scherzer has allowed 9 earned runs and 5 homers in 11 innings in his last two starts against Boston as well.

Rookie Jake Bennett will make his 4th career start for the Red Sox.  He is 1-2 with a 5.28 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in three starts this season, allowing 9 earned runs and 23 base runners in 15 1/3 innings with just 8 K's.

The Blue Jays are 11-4-1 OVER in their last 16 games overall going for 10 or more combined runs in 10 of those 16 games.  The Red Sox are 4-1 OVER in their last five games overall with 9 or more combined runs in four of those five, including 10 or more three times.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

Ricky's 1* play on Over.

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.

- Portugal has scored 15 goals in their last five matches. 

- Congo ranks just barely in the Top 50 of FIFA Rankings. 

- Portugal scored 20 goals in six WCQ matches. 

Verdict: The value is on the Over.

(#951) New York Mets | ML | . 

Nolan McLean (3-4, 4.01 ERA) vs. Nick Lodolo (2-1, 5.21 ERA). 

Through the opening couple of months this season, neither of these starting pitchers have been fantastic. That being said, I still firmly believe that Nolan McLean can be amongst the best in the big leagues when he puts everything together. Up against a struggling Reds team that's lost eight of its past 12 games, I expect him to show up.

The Reds have won the first two games of this series as well, making this a very important game for the Mets to avoid the sweep. A win going into the big time weekend series with the Phillies is going to be crucial. Give me NYM in this situation on Wednesday evening.

Burns' Prediction: 4-1 Mets.

Joe D is ON FIRE in ALL SPORTS, and today, we continue to BURN THE BOOKS: MLB MONEYMAKER (17-6 MLB RUN) and WNBA HOT SHOT. Follow me with both, and go 2-0.

Wednesday’s FREE WINNER: Cleveland Guardians.

Game 975.

4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST.

For a while, Cleveland had a stronghold atop the American League Central division. But dropping seven of their last 10 games, they are now tied for first place along with Chicago. I think this is an ideal situation for them to get a big victory against a solid adversary. Milwaukee enters this matchup sitting in first place in the National League Central with a 4.5-game cushion. It is true, they are one of the best home teams in the league, and it is also true, they took the series opener yesterday, 2-1. But I like the matchup for the visitor here. Statistically, the Milwaukee offense is significantly stronger than the Cleveland lineup. However, today starters negate all that for me. Gavin Williams and Brandon Sproat are scheduled here. The Guardians right-hander has been outstanding this season, amassing a record of 9-3 with an ERA of 3.32. As a matter of fact, the team has won 10 of his 14 starts in 2026. Over his last three games, he is a perfect 2-0 with a 3.63 ERA, and on the road, he is 5-2 as his ERA rises a bit, at 4.04. But, against the National League, this season, the team has prevailed in all five of those of starts. The Brewers right-hander has struggled at 1-4 with a whopping area of 5.70 thus far on the campaign. The team has dropped three of his last four turns, and at home in 2026, he is just 1-2 with an ERA of 6.33. The team has dropped three of his last four starts against the American League opponents, as well. On paper, Milwaukee is a stronger team. However, baseball isn’t played on paper. It is played on the diamond. Take Cleveland. Thank you.

ASA WNBA play on New York Liberty -9.5 at Chicago Sky, 8PM ET - The Liberty are finally getting healthy and poised to make a serious run at the league title in 2026. Sabrina Ionescu is back from an ankle injury and provided a spark off the bench last time out with 5-points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. New York has won 7 straight games with 6 of those coming by 8 or more points. In that 7-game stretch the Liberty have a Net rating of +15.2, second only to the blistering hot Lynx at +23.3. Chicago is struggling with a 4-9 SU record on the season and are just 2-8 SU in their last ten games overall. It hasn’t been any better for the Sky when they play in their own building with a 1-5 SU mark. Chicago has the 4th worst Net rating in the league at -6.5 and are getting outscored by an average of -5.6ppg. The Liberty are one of the best offensive teams in the league for the season and have done that without Ionescu. They’ll only get better as her minutes increase and we just can’t see the Sky keeping this game close with an offense that is 13th in FG% and 14th in 3PT%. In comparison, the Liberty are the 4th best overall shooting team and 3PT shooting team. We will lean Liberty in this one.

3* on Nationals

Panama 0.5

Locking this in early. Panama and Ghana meet in their group opener and we’re on Panama. Ghana limps into this World Cup as they’ve dropped six of their last seven with the other being a draw. This is a team that is playing with zero confidence right now and they’re going to struggle against a Panama side that puts an emphasis on the defensive side of things. Ghana also lost midfielder Carlos Queiroz, who was denied entry into Canada prior to the tournament. There’s just too many factors against Ghana heading into play. 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 PANAMA ATS. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

The Wednesday comp play is on the Under 2.5 goals in the Croatia vs England match at 4 eastern. Look for a low scoring game here as both teams are solid on the back line. England plays the toughest game in Group L in their opener against a Croatia team that beat them 8 years ago. in the World Cup. In their last meeting England came away with a 1-0 win  England comes in with a +22 goal differential in Qualifiers and will be tough here. However we expect Both teams will struggle to score and the under 2.5 looks very enticing in what can be a 1-0 or 1-1 potential final. Play this game under 2.5 goals. GL Rob V

This is a play on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS for our Wednesday Free Play. Toronto bounced back from a pair of late losses against the Yankees with a 6-1 win last night behind a solid effort from Dylan Cease and the Blue Jays desperately need a strong game from Max Scherzer who has struggled. He has a good matchup against a Red Sox offense that is No. 24 or worse in OBP, SLG, OPS and wOBA. He came back from injury and allowed five runs in 3.1 innings against the Phillies and it is best for him to get out of town as in six starts, five have been at home where he has posted a 12.94 ERA and he was solid in his lone road start at Arizona that resulted in a quality outing. The Red Sox rough season continues as they have lost two straight after a pair of rare home wins over Texas as they are now 12-23 at Fenway Park. Jake Bennett re-entered the rotation a week ago and allowed four runs in five innings against Tampa Bay and his 4.6% K:BB% will not be helped here against a team that does not strike out.

1* Free Pick on Yankees -160

White Sox lefty Anthony Kay walks into Yankee Stadium carrying a 6-1 record that doesn't match his profile at all.

His 4.34 ERA is propped up by luck.

The underlying numbers tell the real story: 5.64 xERA.365 xwOBA.449 xSLG against.

That's a pitcher waiting to get hit, and Yankee Stadium with a 12 MPH wind blowing toward the short porch is the worst possible spot for him.

Yankees lefty Carlos Rodon comes in at 3.19 ERA and has been the steadier arm by a wide margin.

Even with a 2-2 record in his starts, ERA tells you more than wins on a 71-game sample.

The opposition case is real.

No Judge, no Stanton, and Dominguez is a question mark.

That's roughly 40 homers missing from the order.

I'm not ignoring it.

But the White Sox are running out their own compromised lineup with Munetaka Murakami and his team-leading 20 HR on the IL.

Both offenses are dented.

The pitching gap is what tilts this.

The Yankees are 44-27 at home base.

The White Sox are 38-33 and just snuck above .500.

New York gets the better arm, the better park environment for what's left of their lefty bats (Bellinger, Rice, Chisholm), and a starter on the other side whose expected metrics rank near the bottom of the league.

-160 isn't a bargain price, but it's the right price given how badly Kay has been overperforming.

Take the better pitcher at home against a regression candidate.

I like the Yankees

Wednesday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Guardians +110

Another busy Wednesday night in the WNBA with six Commissioner's Cup tilts, and after grinding through the recent trends, head-to-head history, rebounding splits, pace numbers, efficiency metrics, and turnover rates, the Minnesota Lynx laying 8 or 8.5 on the road at the Los Angeles Sparks stands out as my top overall play by a solid margin. These Lynx are 11-3 overall and have been an absolute wagon, posting one of the league’s best net ratings while ranking near the top in defensive rebounding percentage (around 68-70% range) and forcing turnovers at a clip that creates extra possessions night in and night out. They’ve covered spreads north of 7 in a majority of their recent favorite spots, especially when playing at a controlled tempo (around 78-80 possessions) that lets them wear teams down and dominate the second-half rebounding battle. The Sparks sit around 7-7 but have been leaky at home against physical clubs, surrendering higher effective field goal percentages and getting out-rebounded by an average of 4-6 boards per game in similar matchups. Plug in Minnesota’s second-chance points edge (often +6-8 in those spots) and transition defense formula, and you’ve got a matchup equation where the Lynx pull away late more often than not.

The Lynx have got the superior record, the defensive metrics (top-tier opponent effective FG% allowed), and that rebounding dominance that creates a clear mathematical edge most nights like this—think +4-6 in total rebounds leading to +5-7 in points off those extra chances. I’ve been tracking these patterns closely all season, and when the numbers line up this neatly (better efficiency on the glass + turnover creation + second-half execution), it tends to hit at a ridiculous clip. It’s never about pounding every favorite; it’s about waiting for the spots where the data screams “value” like this one does, turning the matchup into a simple equation of talent plus systemic advantages.

Shop around for the best number, keep your units in check, and remember we’re playing the long game here. These WNBA nights can turn on a dime with last-second news, but the Lynx feel like the team to ride with confidence.

My selection is on the 'under' between Congo DR and Portugal at 1 pm et on Wednesday.

We saw plenty of scoring across four World Cup matches yesterday and I think the knee-jerk reaction from most bettors will be to project more of the same in Wednesday's opening match between Congo and Portugal. We'll go the other way and back the 'under' at a plus-money return (at the time of writing). Congo enters this contest having seen eight of its last 10 matches stay 'under' 2.5 total goals. It will of course need to be cautious against a strong Portugal side that has gone undefeated in its last five contests. Of note, Portugal failed to top two goals in any of its four World Cup warm-up matches, while allowing a grand total of just two goals. Congo held Denmark to a scoreless draw in a friendly match earlier this month. In fact, it has delivered a clean sheet in four of its last six overall. Take the under (8*).

AAA Sports' Selection: Las Vegas Aces (ATS).

Las Vegas had been perfect in the Commissioner's Cup before losing to Dallas in it's last game. Winning this final game will be crucial to pick up a spot in the final.

The Aces are 15-7 against the spread over their L22 games played on the road.

Phoenix is 1-7 against the spread over their L8 games played at home.

The Mercury haven't been great this season either after losing Satou Sabally.

We're on LVA.

Pirates vs Athletics MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): Pittsburgh hands the ball to right-hander Braxton Ashcraft (5-3, 3.30 ERA), who is putting together an efficient season. Ashcraft has notably dialed up his strikeout numbers while maintaining elite control, issuing just two free passes over his last three starts. His 1.10 WHIP and 90-to-19 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 84 2/3 innings reflect a pitcher capable of shutting down the bottom half of a lineup.

Oakland turns to Aaron Civale (5-2, 4.20 ERA), whose surface record masks some major underlying vulnerabilities. Civale has hit a rough patch, struggling to a 5.40 ERA over his last five starts. His home-road splits are even more alarming, as his home ERA sits more than two runs higher than his production on the road.

The Bet: Pirates (3%).

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the underdog in this matchup. The Rockies send highly touted LHP Sean Sullivan to the hill, a rookie who tossed three scoreless innings in his Major League debut. Chicago's recent offensive stagnation makes them incredibly vulnerable to a dynamic young lefty. Colorado has shown excellent fight in this series, losing Game 1 by one run before stealing Game 2, and the Cubs are 9-22 (29%) against the runline as home favorites.
