(#645) Chicago Sky @ (#646) Los Angeles Sparks | OVER | . 

Overnight, this line has come down significantly. While there are some injuries, I don't believe that they are going to impact the pace of play in this contest. Even though the Sparks have a losing record this season, they are averaging 88.4 PPG which ranks them amongst the top five in the entire WNBA. That being said, they are dead last by quite a large margin in terms of PPG allowed per game at 93.6 this season. Chicago should be able to take advantage of that on Friday evening. Hammer the "over."

Burns' Prediction: 95-88 Chicago.

This is a FREE PLAY on the Padres.

The Padres are only 25-23 at home this year, but Toronto is just 20-24 on the road.

Shane Bieber is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA for the Jays after two starts.

JP Sears is 2-1 with a 4.70 ERA for San Diego after three starts. Sears is also 1-0 with a 3.46 ERA at home.

Consider SAN DIEGO.

Good luck, NP

1* on A's +143

Not having three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge has caught up to the Yankees. New York is 3-11 in its last 14 games. The Yankees are 15-19 without Judge. They should not be this high of a favorite against the 48-46 Nationals.

One of these teams leads the majors in runs. It's not the Yankees. Taking advantage of a great power/speed combination, the Nationals are first in runs, first in steals, second in homers and third in OPS.

Unlike the Yankees, the Nationals have been playing well winning seven of their last 11 games.

The Nationals should get their share of runs once again facing a cold Ryan Weathers, who has surrendered at least four runs in five of his past seven starts.

Carson Palmquist is expected to open for Washington followed by Zack Littell, who should draw the bulk of the pitching. Littell has been pitching better, giving up two earned runs or less in each of his last three appearances. The Nationals have a rested bullpen after being idle on Thursday.

The Yankees are averaging only 3.2 runs per game during their last 19 games. The Yankees have a big reputation. But the reality is they are not that good minus Judge.

 (Editor's note: Stephen Nover has his Baseball Game of the Year heading his Friday card today.) 

1* Free Pick on Braves/Cardinals: over 7½

The total of 7.5 is built on surface numbers that don't hold up under a second look.

Cardinals starter Kyle Leahy carries a 3.86 ERA, but his Statcast xERA sits at 5.56 with a .474 xSLG against.

That's a pitcher living on borrowed time.

Leahy has been beating his peripherals for a month.

Three of his last five starts came at home against soft or slumping offenses.

The Braves lineup he sees tonight is a step up, even without Acuña.

The third-time-through problem is the real crack.

Leahy has been getting hammered late in starts once hitters get a second look.

Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies, and Austin Riley are exactly the kind of veteran bats that punish a pitcher living in the zone with fringe stuff.

On the other side, Braves ace Chris Sale has the shiny 2.27 ERA, but his own xERA is 3.44 with an xwOBA of .289.

He's been going 5 to 5.2 innings in four of his last five starts, which hands the game to the Atlanta bullpen by the 6th.

Jordan Walker is hitting .353 with 4 homers in July and has the right-handed profile to make Sale work.

Weather helps. 82 degrees, feels like 87, 5 MPH wind out of the southeast at Busch.

Ball carries in that air.

Yes, Sale is the best arm in the game right now, and that's the strongest case for the under.

But he's not going 7 innings, and Leahy's underlying numbers say the Cardinals half of the scoring is where this total gets cleared.

I like the Over

1* MLB - Astros/Rangers FREE PICK on Rangers +125

Dave's Friday Free Play:

1* on Diamondbacks/Dodgers UNDER 8.5

The Key: Two of the best starters in the National League toe the rubber tonight when the Arizona Diamondbacks visit the Los Angeles Dodgers for this NL West series.  Shohei Ohtani is 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 14 starts this year.  Eduardo Rodriquez is 7-3 with a 2.25 ERA in 18 starts this year.  Rodriquez has held the Dodgers to one ER in 17 innings in his last 3 starts against them, which all went UNDER the total.  Ohtani is 1-0 with a 1.06 ERA in 3 lifetime starts against Arizona yielding only 2 ER in 17 innings.  The UNDER is 4-1 in the last 5 matchups with 7 or fewer runs in 4 of them.  Take the UNDER.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on San Diego Padres -117

The Blue Jays have brought back Shane Bieber and he has been awful in three starts going 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA and 2.08 WHIP while giving up 13 earned runs and 6 home runs in 13 innings.  He was terrible in the minors as well, and they probably just need to be done with him.  But they are sending him out there again tonight against the Padres.  JP Sears is the better starter in this matchup.  He fired 5 scoreless innings against the Dodgers in a 5-2 win in his last start.  Sears is 2-0 with a 3.18 ERA in 3 previous starts against the Blue Jays.  Give me the Padres.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take Under in Arizona @ Los Angeles (10:10p.m., Friday, July 10 MLB.tv) This is a strong pitching matchup, and I expect runs to be hard to come by at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Eduardo Rodriguez is 7-3 on the season with a 2.25 E.R.A. and Shohei Ohtani is 8-2 on the year with a 0.95 E.R.A. Rodriguez being left handed should neutralize some of the Dodgers hitters and thus I expect a low scoring game. Play the under on this opening game series before the all-star break.

My selection is on Colorado over San Francisco at 10:15 pm et on Friday.

The Rockies dropped the opener of this series last night but I look for them to bounce back on Friday. Tanner Gordon will take the ball for Colorado. He has not surprisingly struggled at hitter-friendly Coors Field this season, sporting a 9.57 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in six appearances. The road has been another story as he has logged a 3.32 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in five outings. Current Rockies hitters have a pretty good track record against Giants veteran left-hander Robbie Ray. They've gone a collective 21-for-68 (.309) with a .774 OPS against him. After getting some solid long relief last night, the Rockies bullpen is in relatively good shape entering Friday's contest. Colorado's 'pen owns a 1.85 ERA with three saves converted and only one blown over the last week. In contrast, the Giants 'pen has posted a 5.84 ERA over that stretch. Take Colorado (8*).

AAA Sports' Selection: Los Angeles Dodgers (ATS).

Arizona will start Eduardo Rodriguez -- The Dodgers want payback after Rodriguez beat them in his last start against.

The Diamondbacks have always had trouble with LAD and are just 2-7 over the L9 games between these two teams.

Los Angeles will start Shohei Ohtani -- His 1.79 earned run average ranks him extremely high among every starter in the MLB.

The Dodgers are back having won 12 of their L16 games played this season.

We're on the better pitcher and LAD today.

Free Play – Take #927 Boston +139 over N.Y. Mets (7:15 p.m. ET, Friday, July 10)

Boston has a rhythm, winners of six in a row and on an 11-1 spurt, who, if they keep winning, could pass Toronto for third place in the AL East at the All-Star break. What changed? The Red Sox offense has scored at least five runs in nine of those dozen contests. Boston will use a blazing hot Sonny Gray (10-1, 2.61 ERA), who has pitched brilliantly. The concern about Gray, he’s a well-known second-half decliner, who at 5’10, has worn down with more innings. It would not seem that it happens tonight. The Mets have shown improvement, on a 4-1 surge after a 2-12 tailspin. Nolan McLean (6-5, 3.73 ERA) is slated to start for New York, and he has a 3.10 ERA in his past five starts. The Mets appear a larger-than-expected favorite, given how well Gray and the BoSox bullpen have pitched. The New York pensters have an ERA over 11 in their past seven outings. With this NL home teams hitting .255 or lower, against a good AL starting pitcher (ERA MLB West Coast Wipeout -Guaranteed

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind.
