(#951) Chicago Cubs | ML | . 

Colin Rea (1-0, 3.18 ERA) vs. Aaron Nola (1-1, 3.63 ERA) . 

I know that Aaron Nola has definitely had more success over the course of his career than Collin Rea. But, that definitely doesn't always predict the outcome of the game. There are 162 games in the MLB season. There's going to be ups and downs. For the Phillies, they have struggled as of late, dropping five of their past eight contests. Nola has been decent so far, but he's coming off the worst season of his career & this matchup is not an easy one. He's allowed three earned runs in 2/3 starts so far. Rea, on the other hand, has yet to allow more than two runs in a start. He allowed just two hits in 5.1 innings in his last start @TB. I like the Cubs to steal this one after a bad pitching performance yesterday.

Burns' Prediction: 6-3 Cubs.

Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Pittsburgh Pirates -1.5 (+111)

The Pittsburgh Pirates bludgeoned the Washington Nationals 16-5 in Game 1 of this series yesterday.  The wind was blowing out to aid runs, and it will be blowing out again today to aid the Pirates in winning by multiple runs in Game 2.

The Pirates have a big advantage on the mound in this one.  Mitch Keller is 1-0 with a 1.00 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in three starts this season.  He has allowed just 2 earned runs in 18 innings.  Keller has allowed 7 earned runs in 17 1/3 innings in his last three starts against the Nationals as well.

The Pirates will tee off on one of the worst starters in baseball in 37-year-old Miles Mikolas.  He went 9-13 with a 4.78 ERA in 35 starts in 2023, 10-11 with a 5.35 ERA in 32 starts in 2024 and 8-11 with a 4.84 ERA in 31 starts in 2025.

Mikolas has been even worse thus far in 2026, going 0-3 with a 12.41 ERA and 2.35 WHIP in three starts while allowing 17 earned runs and 5 homers in 12 1/3 innings.  When he exits early, the Nationals have the worst bullpen in baseball with a 6.72 ERA and 1.63 WHIP In 73 2/3 innings this season.  Bet the Pirates on the Run Line Tuesday.

Atlanta is worth a move against the Marlins. Atlanta sends out Reynaldo Lopez, who owns an ERA of just 1.15 so far this season. Max Meyer counters and he still is trying to figure things out in his young career. Overall he’s just 7-11 with an ERA over 5. Miami is just 2-5 on the road this season and this is nice bounce back spot for the Braves. 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 BRAVES -145.

The NHL Comp play is on Columbus at 7:10 eastern. Columbus is in a nice 7-1 system that plays on Game 82 home favorites with triple same season revenge. Washington is off a pair of wins over Pittsburgh and now take on a Blue Jackets team that lost as a heavy home favorite to Boston. Columbus will want to win this last game and exact revenge for the three losses this season. Play on Columbus. GL Rob V-

Angels vs Yankees 
7:05 EST 
5-unit bet on the Angels priced as a 165-underdog.

The Angels lost a tough one in game 1 of this four-game series allowing 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th inning and losing 11-10. However, the live in-gamer betting strategy to work quite well in minimizing the net loss on the wager as the Yankees got out to a 4-0 lead. The lesson for this game is not intentionally avoiding any MLB club that you wagered on the previous night only because they lost. The best hitters in the game, the best PGA pros in the game, the best pros in any sport have very short memories and never allow the worst of moments/games or the best of moments/games impact the performance sitting in front of them. The same can be said of sports bettors and poker players.

So, betting against a home team that trailed by 2 or more runs entering the 9th inning and won that game is just 133-138 for 49% winning bets that have averaged a –120 wager and a money-losing 14% ROI since 2004.

Tuesday's MLB Free Pick

PLAY ON: Brewers -120

When the Chicago Cubs head into Citizens Bank Park to face the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday evening, the total of 9.5 runs stands out as the strongest play on the day’s MLB betting slate. Early-season trends show both lineups producing runs at a solid clip, with the Cubs averaging better than 4.5 runs per game and the Phillies regularly breaking out offensively in front of their home crowd. Philadelphia’s ballpark has leaned hitter-friendly this year, especially when the weather cooperates, and today’s forecast calls for warm temperatures in the mid-80s with winds blowing out toward the alleys, conditions that historically give fly balls extra carry and turn doubles into triples or home runs.

The Cubs have been particularly reliable for overs on the road lately, with the total clearing the number in four of their last five away games and in six of their last eight overall. Philadelphia, meanwhile, has seen the over hit in the majority of its recent home contests, reflecting a lineup that thrives when it can feast on mistakes in favorable conditions. Head-to-head history between these two clubs backs the same narrative: multiple recent meetings have produced combined run totals well above nine, including the series opener that exploded for 20 runs total. Citizens Bank Park simply has not been a run-suppressing environment so far in 2026 when the elements line up this way.

Putting it all together,the Cubs’ proven road over pattern, the Phillies’ home scoring tendencies, the encouraging weather and park setup, and a consistent history of high-scoring games between these clubs,points squarely toward plenty of offense. This matchup has all the ingredients for the scoreboard to keep moving well into double digits, making the over 9.5 the cleanest totals opportunity available today.

Testing 7-0 100% NBA run and a 29-9 76% NBA side conversion rate! Blazers @ Suns side winner now on board.

My selection is on Montreal over Philadelphia at 7:05 pm et on Tuesday.

The Flyers clinched a playoff spot with last night's victory over the Hurricanes and now face a difficult back-to-back situation as they host the Canadiens on Tuesday. Montreal still has something to play for as it battles for home ice advantage in the opening round of its upcoming series with Tampa Bay. The Habs delivered a lopsided victory on Long Island on Sunday, successfully rebounding following Saturday's disappointing home loss against the Blue Jackets. Montreal has proven to be an excellent road team this season, going 24-16 while outscoring opponents by an average margin of 0.5 goals. The Flyers have certainly played their best hockey down the stretch but are actually still just 19-21 at home where they've averaged just 2.7 goals per contest. They don't figure to take an 'all hands on deck' approach here as they prepare for what promises to be a gruelling opening round series with the rival Penguins. Take Montreal (8*).

AAA Sports' Selection: Phoenix Suns (ATS).

Portland finished the season really well. But, it's not covered in two of it's L3 games and this will be the toughest of them all.

The Blazers have a losing record against the spread in games played on the road this season as well.

They've also lost six of the L9 games between these two teams.

Phoenix will be back and healthy for this game after resting it players to finish the season.

The Suns are an excellent 33-19 versus the spread against opponents within the Western Conference this year too.

We're on Phoenix.

Marc David Sports MLB Free Pick

We really like the road team in this matchup. Seattle has just one win in six away games, but Bryan Woo (0-1, 1.50 ERA) has started the season with two elite starts, and last season, the right-hander limited the Padres to three runs over 12.2 innings. He has held the current Padres roster to a combined AVG of .219 over 73 at bats, so we expect his success to carry over into 2026.

For my best free pick I am looking at the Phoenix Suns hosting the Portland Trail Blazers. Blazers just float under the radar of bettors pretty much all season and I think they do just that again here on Tuesday night. Blazers finish red hot winning the last 2 games and 7 of the last 10. Suns were a great cover team in the first half for the season but not as much lately going just 1-6 last 7 ATS. Blazers have covered 5 of the last 7 games look for them to keep this game razor tight throughout.

Play on the Portland Trailblazers plus the points rotation #563
