Jack's Free Pick Monday: San Francisco Giants +165

Trevor McDonald has been dominant with his limited opportunity in the big leagues thus far.  He has gone 2-0 with a 1.44 ERA and 0.72 WHIP, allowing just 4 earned runs and 18 base runners in 25 innings with 23 K's.

McDonald held the Padres to one earned run and 2 base runners in 7 innings with 8 K's in his lone start this season.  He also faced the Dodgers at the end of last season, holding them to one earned run in 6 innings of a 3-1 victory as a +180 road dog.

The Dodgers are really struggling at the plate right now scoring 2 runs or fewer in seven of their last 11 games overall.  They were held to a total of 13 hits in their 3-game series with the Braves over the weekend.

Los Angeles shouldn't be this big of a favorite with their hitting woes, coupled with how poor Roki Sasaki has been to start the season.  Sasaki is 1-3 with a 5.97 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in six starts this season, allowing 19 earned runs, 8 homers and 48 base runners in 28 2/3 innings.  Bet the Giants Monday.

Ricky's 1* play on SEA.

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.

- Seattle is 7-0 SU in its last 7 games against Houston.

- Houston is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games.

- Houston is 5-12 SU in its last 17 games when playing at home against Seattle.

Verdict: The value is on the Road favorite.

Today we start a new week off with 2 BIG WINNERS: I have my 75% (9-3) NBA LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE along with my NHL 14-4 ICEBREAKER. Get both, go 2-0, and start your week off right.

Monday’s FREE WINNER: Oklahoma City Thunder.

Game 511.

7:30 PM PST/10:30 PM EST.

Normally, I would love to play a team like the Lakers at home facing elimination after losing the first three games of a best-of-seven series. But to be quite honest, I don’t think LA can say face at all, and I think they’ve thrown in the towel on the season. To say Oklahoma City has had their number, would be an understatement. The Thunder has taken eight straight meetings with the Lakers, both straight up and against the spread. This season alone, they have won and covered all seven matchups. It doesn’t matter if they’re at home or on the road. They’ve won the last eight meetings by 16, 9, 9, 43, 36, 18, 18, and 23-points. OKC knows that if they finish this series up today, they would have several extra days to rest, heal, and prepare for the winner of the San Antonio/Minnesota series. Please remember, Los Angeles has been overvalued lately, not only dropping five of their last games SU, but five of those last six games, ATS, as well. As I mentioned earlier, I feel the Lakers have thrown in the towel on the season. Therefore, this game will get ugly. Take the Thunder. Thank you.

1* Free Pick on Rays +128

The Rays are sitting in a prime spot as a road underdog in Toronto tonight.
Tampa has won seven of their last ten games and the market still isn't giving them enough credit.

The Blue Jays are coming off a grueling weekend series that left their bullpen completely exposed.
They used their primary closer and setup man in high-leverage situations on both Saturday and Sunday.

That leaves a massive hole in the late innings for a team that already struggles with relief consistency.
Tampa’s lineup specializes in wearing down starters and getting to the soft underbelly of an exhausted relief core.

The pitching matchup favors the visitors much more than the current line suggests.
Tampa’s starter is carrying a FIP nearly a full run lower than his actual season ERA.

He is due for some serious positive regression and matches up well against this specific Jays order.
Toronto ranks near the bottom of the league in contact rate against high-velocity right-handers this month.

The Rays' hitters are also seeing the ball extremely well and making loud contact.
They have posted a top-five wRC+ in the American League over the last two weeks of play.

Tampa has historically performed well in this divisional matchup when playing as a road underdog.
They are 12-5 in their last 17 games at Rogers Centre and seem to thrive in this environment.

The Blue Jays' offense has been stagnant lately, averaging fewer than three runs per game over their last five.
You cannot trust this Toronto lineup to cover this price against elite, disciplined pitching.

The value here is strictly on the visitors who have the better rested bullpen and the hotter bats.
I expect Tampa to control the tempo early and pull away once the Toronto middle relief takes over.

Grab the plus-money with the more disciplined team that is currently playing better baseball.
The Rays are the sharper play in every statistical category that matters for this Monday matchup.

I like the Rays ML (+128).

The SERIE A Soccer Comp Play is on Napoi at 2:45 eastern. The Host team Napoli has dominated the series with Bologna and have won 9 of the last 11 here at home against them. Napoli is battling for a top 4 bid in the table to secure a Champions League entry next season. They have won 20 with 7 draws and just one loss at home and Bologna. In fact they pulled a 2-0 clean sheet win in their most recent meeting in the Super Cup. Bologna is not a terrible road team but they are led by their top goal scorer Orsolini and do well when he finds the back of the net. That said he has never scored against Napoli spanning 13 matches. Look for Napoli to bag the three points. GL Rob V-

MLB Betting Algorithm: Inter-League May Matchups

Overview and Criteria

This MLB betting algorithm targets a specific set of game circumstances and has proven highly effective over the past five seasons. The core requirements for qualifying bets are:

The game is played in May.

The posted total is 7.5 runs or fewer.

The matchup is inter-league, meaning teams from different leagues compete.

Performance Results

Under these conditions, the algorithm has produced a record of 146-90-4 when betting the OVER, resulting in a 62% win rate. This track record demonstrates a consistent edge for bettors seeking value in tightly priced, low-total games during May inter-league contests.

Enhanced Results Against Strong Opponents

The algorithm further refines its criteria when the opposing team has won at least 60% of its games. In these scenarios, the OVER has achieved a remarkable 28-9-1 record, translating to a 76% win rate and a 47% return on investment (ROI). This highlights the algorithm’s ability to capitalize on high-performing teams in inter-league May matchups.

Avs -124

Colorado is the move as they look to bounce back in Game 4. Colorado was a bit shell shocked in Game 3 as they struggled out of the gates in what was eventually a 5-1 loss. They have bounced back all season long after losses and this is another case where they’re going to get out of the gates early. Expect them to set the tone and come out aggressive from the start. 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.

Monday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Astros +127

With only one NHL game on the schedule tonight, the spotlight falls squarely on the Western Conference Semifinals as the Colorado Avalanche visit the Minnesota Wild in Game 4. Colorado currently holds a 2-1 series lead, and after digging into the historical trends and playoff angles that actually matter, I’m leaning toward the Avalanche on the moneyline as the best play available.

What immediately stands out is the long-standing success of teams that take a 2-1 lead in a best-of-seven series. Historically, those clubs have gone on to win the series at a rate just under 69 percent. That’s a pretty powerful edge, and it speaks to how tough it is to overcome that deficit once a team has grabbed the early momentum. The Avalanche earned that 2-1 advantage the hard way, winning the first two games before dropping Game 3 in Minnesota. Now they get another crack at it away from home, and history says that position is worth respecting.

Playoff road favorites have been a fascinating story in recent years. Sure, everyone talks about home-ice advantage like it’s some unbreakable fortress, but the numbers tell a more nuanced tale. Over the last several postseasons, home teams overall have won roughly 53-55% of games, but that edge shrinks significantly once you factor in the betting lines, favorites get juiced up, and the returns for blindly backing the home side often turn negative for bettors.

Home underdogs, in particular, have had their struggles in the postseason. All-time and in recent playoff samples, they hover around a .400-.460 win rate depending on the window, with some deeper looks showing even lower success when facing stronger opponents on the road (like the Avalanche here). The Wild will be in that exact spot tonight, home underdog trying to even the series against a battle-tested favorite. The crowd in Minnesota will be electric, no doubt about it, nothing quite like a Wild home playoff game when the building is rocking. But history has a funny way of reminding us that loud crowds don’t always translate into wins when facing a deeper, more experienced group.

The Avalanche have shown they can handle the road environment well throughout these playoffs, and they’ve carried a stronger regular-season pedigree into this matchup. Minnesota proved they can push back, which was a much-needed statement win at home. No one is counting the Wild out. Still, when you combine the 2-1 series lead data with the tendency of road favorites to hold their own (and often outperform expectations) in these high-stakes spots, the value feels like it’s sitting with Colorado tonight.

This isn’t about guarantees, playoff hockey has a habit of delivering chaos when you least expect it, and one bad bounce or heroic goaltending performance can flip the script in a hurry. But if I’m putting my money down on one side in this lone game, I’m comfortable backing the Avalanche to bounce back and take a commanding 3-1 series lead.

These nights are exactly why we love the playoffs, the tension, the stakes, and that little bit of edge you can find when you look at the trends closely.

My selection is on New York -1.5 runs over Baltimore at 6:35 pm et on Monday.

We'll lay the extra run with the Yankees on Monday as they look to bounce back following a series sweep at the hands of the Brewers in Milwaukee. While New York's vaunted offense struggled in that weekend set, it still checks in ranked eighth in the majors in xwOBA over the last week - nine spots ahead of Baltimore over that stretch. The Yankees will hand the ball to left-hander Ryan Weathers on Monday. He's been an interesting study as far as home-road splits go not only this season but over the course of his career as he owns an ERA over a run lower away from home. The O's rank middle-of-the-pack in terms of wOBA against left-handed pitching this season. Meanwhile, the Yanks are top-three in wOBA against righties and will face a struggling one in Brandon Young on Monday. He owns a 4.81 FIP and 1.45 WHIP on the season and those poor numbers are actually an improvement over his stats from a year ago. For his big league career, Young has logged a 5.21 FIP and 1.52 WHIP in 16 appearances, posting a 4-8 record along the way. The Yankees bullpen hasn't been the issue lately as they've recorded a collective 2.35 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over the last week and a 3.25 ERA and 1.26 WHIP overall this season. In stark contrast, the O's 'pen has posted a 4.44 ERA and 1.34 WHIP overall and a 3.56 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over the last week. Take New York -1.5 runs (8*).

Giants vs Dodgers MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): Here we get a chance to back the Los Angeles Dodgers in a rare two-game skid and in a "double-revenge" spot after dropping two of three to the Giants back in April. Los Angeles right-hander Roki Sasaki (1-3, 5.97 ERA) has had early bumps, but he’s in this rotation for a reason, and facing a San Francisco lineup averaging only about 3.3 runs per game should help him get right, especially with a Dodgers offense putting up just over 5 runs per game backing him. Giants righty Trevor McDonald (1-0, 1.29 ERA) was excellent in his season debut, but he’s still sitting on only five big league outings (three starts) since 2024, so we’re happy to bet that L.A.’s bats eventually figure out a very inexperienced arm over a full nine.

The Bet: DODGERS -1½ (3%). 

AMAZING 10-1 premium pick run! When Mike gets in rhythm, it pays to follow, and Monday is shaping up for another payday with MLB (2) and NBA (1) loaded. Grab an all-sports subscription of Mike's to gain access to all picks.

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the under in this matchup. The Angels have been held to three runs or fewer in seven of their last 10 games and in 22 of 41 games. Cleveland LHP Joey Cantillo held the Royals to one run on three hits in five frames his last time out, and as far as the Guardians' run production, they've been held to under four runs in half of their games.

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER!
