Game Analysis

(#917) Houston Astros @ (#918) Boston Red Sox | OVER | . 

Mike Burrows (1-3, 6.25 ERA) vs. Jake Bennett (0-0, 0.00 ERA) . 

I like the "over" quite a bit here on Saturday. Houston got shut down in the first couple games of its last series, scoring just six runs. But, in the finale yesterday, the Astros piled on 11 runs on the Orioles. Houston has been one of the highest scoring teams in the MLB throughout the first 30+ games this season & I'm all here for it.

Boston will start Jake Bennett, as he'll make his big league debut. Although there's no real numbers to go on here, I do expect the 'Stros to continue their hot hitting. Mike Burrows hasn't been good for Houston either (today's other starter.) Give me the "over" and expect a ton of runs to get put on the board here.

Burns' Prediction: 8-5 Red Sox.

Play on: UNDER 220 -110
Game Analysis

UNDER 220

Cleveland and Toronto meet in Game 6 and the under is worth a free move. Cleveland and Toronto both went off offensively in a back and forth Game 5, but this has more of a feeling of how Game 4 was where neither team could create open looks. With the Raptors backs against the wall, the defensive intensity is going to pick up on their end. For Cleveland, they know they need to play better overall defense, especially in transition and will put an emphasis on that heading into this one. Expect a much slower tempo game. 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 UNDER TO 219. 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 | Golden Knights vs Utah Mammoth
Play on: Utah Mammoth +102 at circa
Game Analysis

My selection is on Utah over Vegas at 10 pm et on Friday.

The Golden Knights have reeled off consecutive overtime victories to take control of this series and push the Mammoth to brink of elimination entering Friday's Game 6 matchup at the Delta Center. We'll call for Utah to stave off elimination for at least one game, however. Note that Vegas is still just 20-23 on the road this season, where it has been outscored by an average margin of 0.1 goal. The Mammoth check in 23-20 on home ice, outscoring opponents by 0.4 goals on average. Utah has lost more than two games in a row just once going all the way back to December 12th, that coming during a four-game slide in March. The Golden Knights have posted more than two straight wins just twice since February 27th as they caught fire down the stretch after John Tortorella took over behind the bench. Most will expect the Mammoth's spirit to be broken after consecutive overtime defeats. I expect them to show their mettle on Friday, however, as they force a seventh game back in Las Vegas. Take Utah (8*).

Reds vs Pirates MLB Free Pick

The Angle: The Cincinnati Reds send Brady Singer (2-1, 4.97 ERA) to the mound, who's been a betting darling this season. The Reds are 5-1 in his six starts and a 3-1 (75%) straight up when he's the moneyline dog. The Pirates are 1-1 in Mitch Keller's (2-1, 3.18 ERA) starts as a favorite, and they come into this game mired in a five-game slump. Gimme the dog.

The Bet: REDS (3%).

MLB | NYM vs LAA
Play on: UNDER 9 +100
Game Analysis

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the under in this matchup. The Mets' offense has been stagnant, ranking 25th in runs scored over the last two weeks and the Angels' offense has struggled significantly, ranking 29th in hits (7.44 per game). With both teams trending toward the Under in nearly 80% of their recent samples, we find the under to be a high-confidence play.

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER!

PSP Data Driven 1* Over.

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the Over. The Over is 3-0 in the Rockies last 3 games. The Braves are 3-0-1 in their last 4 road games.

NBA | Cavs vs Raptors
Play on: Raptors +4 -110 at Buckeye
Game Analysis

For my best free pick on the board here for Friday I am looking at NBA playoff basketball and the Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Toronto a chance to even up the series here on Friday Night at home and thats just what I think they will do. Toronto had game 5 but blew it but this Cavs team has been burning bettors money and I think they continue to light it on fire here on Friday night.

Play on the Toronto Raptors plus the points rotation #522
