Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Nationals/Marlins OVER 8.5

The Miami Marlins are 105-74 OVER in all home games over the last three seasons. They are up against a Washington Nationals team that has gone 24-13-2 OVER in all games this season.  The Nationals are scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.6 runs per game this season.

Zack Littell has been one of the worst starters in baseball this season.  He is 1-4 with a 7.24 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in five starts and two relief appearances while allowing a whopping 13 homers in 32 1/3 innings.  Littell has allowed 21 earned runs and 11 homers in 18 2/3 innings in his last four starts alone.

Janson Junk has been solid at 2-3 with a 2.82 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in seven starts this season.  But Junk is due some regression considering he is 9-10 with a 4.44 ERA in 188 1/3 innings in his career in the big leagues.  He allowed 6 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of a 15-7 loss to the Nationals in his last start against them.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

NHL | Hurricanes vs Flyers
Play on: OVER 5 -145
Game Analysis

This is a FREE PLAY on the OVER Canes/Flyers.

Despite losing Game 3 at home by a score of 4-1, the Flyers are still 20-13-8 at home.

Yes, Carolina is 24-12-5 on the road and it's yet to lose a game in the playoffs, but Rick Tocchet and the Flyers will be forced to push the pace throughout in this one, and I expect that lead to plenty of scoring opportunities for each of these teams.

A second straight series sweep would be huge for Carolina, though, and note the Canes average 3.5 goals per game, which is ranked second.

Game 4 in Ottawa saw Carolina win by a score of 4-2, and I think we'll see at least that many goals as well here in Game 4 in Philly; consider the OVER.

Good luck, NP

Saturday’s FREE PLAY: OVER in the MARINERS/WHITE SOX.

I had to double check this statistic, but eight of the last 10 meetings going back to late July 2024 between Seattle and Chicago have gone over the total. Yesterday‘s contest saw a combined 20-runs scored. Just something about the two teams when they meet, the scoreboard lights up, my friends. Statistically they both average somewhere around 4.5 runs per game. The Mariners enter this matchup playing to eight overs in their last 10 outings while the White Sox come into this matchup playing back-to-back overs. Looking at the pitching matchup further compels me to side with the over. Luis Castillo and Anthony Kay are scheduled. The Seattle right-hander is winless on the campaign at 0-3 with a whopping ERA of 6.29. The team has dropped five of his seven outings 2026. The Chicago left-hander is 1-1 with an ERA of 5.70 as the team has dropped three of his five turns on the campaign. On the road Castillo is possessing an ERA a whopping ERA of 7.31, while at home, Kay is almost as bad, donning an ERA of 5.73. They’re both giving up tons of home runs, and a lot of earned runs. This game is shaping up to be another over like yesterday. Take the over. Thank you.

It's going to be hot in Kansas City tonight with light winds blowing out to center.  With the fences moved in at Kauffman Stadium this season, runs will be up.  The Tigers are going to make this a bullpen game due to all the injuries to their rotation.  The Royals will go with Michael Wacha, who has given up 12 earned runs in 17 1/3 innings in his last three starts.  Wacha has given up 7 earned runs in 10 2/3 innings in his last two starts against Detroit.  Give me the OVER.

HUGE Saturday Card has the 2026 NHL Playoff TOTAL of the YEAR, and 2 Solid NBA Plays including a TOP TOTAL in the Rockets vs Lakers Game 3. WNBA Comp play below

The Saturday Comp play comes by way of the WNBA and Rob is backing the Chicago Sky in their opener vs the Portland Fire. There is a nice game 1 system that applies here as home dogs of more than 1 are 0-7 straight up and to the spread if they are home in their next game and the posted total is 157 through 174. With an average line of +5 these home dogs are losing on average by 17 points per game. Chicago revamped their roster making major changes, bringing  in more experience and solid scorers Jackson and Carrington and pairing them with veteran guards Diggins and Cloud. Chicago should be much better than last year. Portland makes their debut and they may struggle early while they try and gain Chemistry and continuity in their rotations and expansion teams tend to struggle early on until they acclimate. For all the reasons above we will Play on Chicago. GL Rob V-

Play on: Royals -133 at circa
Game Analysis

Kansas City is good play at home. Detroit’s rotation is becoming thin and banged up as a number of their key arms have gone down. Detroit has also lost six of their last nine games. Kansas City will receive Michael Wacha who has quietly put up a 3.05 ERA this season while Detroit may be forced to turn to Ty Madden or Burch Smith here today. Either starter for Detroit will come up short in the matchup with Wacha.

Kansas City also benefits from the home/road split. Detroit has struggled mightily on offense when they play away from home while Kansas City’s lineup has faired much better at Kauffman Stadium. Their rank of sixth in home runs at 5.2 RPG shows that. Those are exactly the types of games Kansas City can make early runs in, protect their lead and win at home today.

Game Analysis

Brewers +130

The Brewers are worth a free move. Milwaukee sends out Kyle Harrison, who has stepped up in this rotation. He owns an ERA of just 2.12 and he’s been as consistent as they come. He works deep into games and is off a gem where he threw 6.0 innings allowing just 1 run against the Nats. Cam Schlitter counters and while he’s been good, he runs into a Brewers offense that has found its groove. Expect them to make him work early and rack his pitch count up.

NHL | Avalanche vs Wild
Play on: UNDER 6½ -120
Game Analysis

My selection is on the 'under' between Colorado and Minnesota at 9 pm et on Saturday.

While the Avalanche are known for their offensive prowess and that's certainly been on full display in the first two games of this series, they actually enter Saturday's Game 3 in Minnesota riding a season-high four-game 'over' streak. In fact, they've posted four straight 'under' results only once previously this season. Meanwhile, the Wild's own current four-game 'over' streak is their longest since the beginning of March. A scene shift can often serve as a catalyst for change and I think that will be the case as far as the total goes in this series. Take the under (8*).

Play on: UNDER 6½ -120
Game Analysis

AAA Sports' Selection: Colorado Avalanche/Minnesota Wild (UNDER).

Colorado has taken a 2-0 series lead with sheer goal scoring. We anticipate Minnesota to make some adjustments defensively for Game Three.

The Avalanche have still seen 10 of their L14 games played against opponents from within the Western Conference stay UNDER.

The UNDER is also 15-26-2 for the Avs in each and every single one of their road games this year.

Minnesota does like the high scoring type of game. But, it's going to have to change it's mentality because shootouts are not working in it's favor.

The Wild have seen nine of their 16 home games against opponents within the Central Division stay UNDER this season.

The play is on the UNDER.

Game Analysis

Braves vs Dodgers MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): Atlanta righty Spencer Strider’s (0-0, 8.10 ERA) recent arc has shifted from "untouchable ace" to more of a volatile, high-strikeout arm with a thinner margin for error. Against a deep Dodgers lineup that grinds at-bats, his walk issues and occasional command lapses can snowball quickly. One crooked inning is all you need to turn a tight moneyline win profile into a multi-run result.

Dodgers' Blake Snell has not played this season due to an injury, but has made a name for himself as a swing-and-miss lefty with the kind of stuff that can completely cap an opponent's scoring for five or six innings when he’s in rhythm. Add an elite bullpen, and you have, well, a reigning World Series champion...

The Dodgers are 23-14 as favorites, which is not super impressive to be honest, but when they win, it's typically by more than one run which is why I recommend the runline instead of the moneyline.

The Bet: DODGERS -1½ (3%).

Game Analysis

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the home favorite in this matchup. Nick Martinez (3-1, 1.71) has been excellent for Tampa Bay, but Payton Tolle has been every bit as impressive in a small sample, posting a 2.04 ERA and 0.74 WHIP with 23 strikeouts in 17.2 innings, including 11 punchouts over six dominant frames in his 2026 debut versus a tough Yankees lineup. The Rays are a tough out, but Boston is in its preferred split at home, catching a slight market discount because of Martinez’s shiny early-season dominance, but keep mind mind that Martinez is just 1–3 with a 5.80 ERA in nine career appearances vs. the Red Sox, allowing 54 hits and 8 home runs in 35.2 innings.

I am looking at the LA Lakers hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder here in game 3 after two pretty easy wins and covers that I was on the Thunder I am going to switch it up here and back the LA Lakers at home. We should see this team step up their game in this must win spot that LA crowd should be rocking and I expect this game to be a two possession game through out. Look for the Lakers to be up at half and crash down to earth in the 4th quarter.
