Jack's Free Pick Friday: Twins/Red Sox UNDER 8

It's going to be cold with temps in the 50's at Fenway Park Friday night.  We get two struggling, banged up lineups up against two impressive left-handers tonight.  Runs will be at a premium in this one.

Payton Tolle is 2-2 with a 2.64 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in five starts for the Red Sox this season.  He has allowed just 9 earned runs and 25 base runners in 30 2/3 innings with 30 K's.  He is backed by one of the best bullpens in baseball with Boston having a 2.98 ERA this season.

Connor Prielipp is 1-2 with a 2.88 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in five starts for the Twins this season.  He has allowed 8 earned runs and 24 base runners in 25 innings with 29 K's.  He faces an extremely banged up Boston lineup that has produced 4 runs or fewer in 12 of its last 13 games overall, and 3 runs or fewer in nine of its last 11 games.

The Twins are 5-1 UNDER in their last six games overall with 5 or fewer combined runs in four of them.  The Red Sox are 9-2 UNDER in their last 11 games overall with 8 or fewer combined runs in 10 of those 11 games, and 7 runs or fewer in nine of them.  Bet the UNDER in this game Friday.

3* on Marlins

1* Bet on Fever -5½

(#551) Oklahoma City Thunder @ (#552) San Antonio Spurs | UNDER | . 

Both of the first two games of this series have gone "over" the total with Game 1 getting some help from 2-overtimes. Now, I believe that we're getting to a point where the defense is ready to put on a show. Yes, we've seen individual great defensive performances already in the series. But, both teams want to win this game to get ahead in the series and I could see this one being much lower scoring that each of the first two games. This total has continued to go up since opening and I believe that it's simply gotten too high. Each point matters for betting, especially in the postseason. I'm on the "under" in Game 3.

Burns' Prediction: 107-102 Thunder.

1* on Rays +136

Free Total Annihilator On Rays vs Yankees under 8 -110

Ricky's 1* play on ATL.

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.

- Atlanta is 4-1 in its last 5 games.

- Washington is 2-9 in its last 11 games against Atlanta.

- Washington is 2-4 in its last 6 games against an opponent in the National League East Division

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

1* Free Pick on Daniel Holt +136

1* Free Play on Fever -5½ -115

1* MLB - Cardinals/Reds FREE PICK on Cardinals +106

This is a FREE PLAY on the Blue Jays.

After taking two of three at Detroit, Toronto went 2-2 in New York this week.

The Pirates went 0-3 at home to Philly, but then bounced back by going 2-1 at St. Louis earlier this week.

But I think the home side has a major advantage as far as the starting pitching matchup is concerned, and I believe that'll be the difference-maker in the opener of this interleague series.

Pittsburgh turns to Buffa Chandler, who is 1-5 with a 5.14 ERA and who has lost his last four starters, giving up a total of 17 walks over that span.

Toronto counters with Kevin Gausman, who is 3-3 with a 5.45 ERA and who gave up two runs over five innings in a no-decision to Pittsburgh last season.

I think Gausman and the Jays are worth the price of admission in this spot; the play is on TORONTO.

Good luck, NP

1* Free Wiseguy Play on Cardinals +100

*All picks are based on situations, trends, statistics and injuries among many other factors*

1* Free Pick on Reds -104

The Reds get listed as a near coinflip at home because the back of the baseball card says Cardinals starter Kyle Leahy is 5-3 with a 3.94 ERA and Reds starter Chris Paddack is 0-5 with a 7.07 ERA.

The underlying numbers tell a completely different story.

Leahy's 3.94 ERA is one of the loudest mirages on the market.

His xERA is 6.17.

His xSLG against is .497 and his xwOBA is .382 across 205 plate appearances.

He's been bailed out by sequencing and weak contact luck that doesn't repeat.

Paddack is the opposite.

The 7.07 ERA is real on the scoreboard, but his xERA is 4.24, xSLG .422, xwOBA .325.

He just went 5 IP, 2 ER at Cleveland on May 16 and threw 56 of 78 for strikes.

That's the version the Reds coaching staff is getting.

The strongest pushback is the April 21 start where Paddack got tagged by the Cardinals for 5 earned in 4.2 innings.

I'm not dismissing it, but that was his second-worst outing of the year and came before the command adjustment showed up at Cleveland.

One start in a five-start sample isn't the trend.

The Cincinnati lineup is also playing well, with 22 hits over the last two games and Sal Stewart coming off a 4-hit, 1 HR night.

At -104 in a home park, with the better expected pitching matchup and the hotter lineup, this is a clean price.

I like the Reds

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Tampa Bay Rays +140

The Tampa Bay Rays are the hottest team in baseball right now.  They have gone 21-4 in their last 25 games overall.  They have the rest advantage over the Yankees after having yesterday off while New York played Toronto on Thursday.  I would argue they have the starting pitching advantage as well, so they should not be this big of underdogs to the Yankees tonight.  Nick Martinez is 4-1 with a 1.51 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in nine starts for the Rays this season.  He has given up only 9 earned runs in 53 2/3 innings.  Gerrit Cole will be making his first start of the season for the Yankees and won't be his same dominant self in his first start back.  The Yankees have a poor, taxed bullpen after their four-game series witht he Blue Jays.  They have actually played five straight games decided by 2 runs or fewer, including four one-run games.  They have a banged up lineup as well that has scored a total of one run in their last two games combined.  Give me the Rays.

At 3 eastern the Coup De France Final Headlines Soccer and we are backing RC Lens to win despite the high line Lens looks to win their first ever Coup Final and they are likely to get it done today. Lens has found the back of the net 16 times in 4 Coup De France matches. As for Nice they are very hard to breakdown and have gone unbeaten in 7 of the last 8 in the head to head with Lens. That Said Lens had a Solid Ligue 1 season and will likely possess the ball for most of the match as Nice likes to stay strong on defense and rely on counters to generate offense. Nice rarely concedes more than once in this tournament. Based on current form we will back Lens to emerge with a win. GL Rob V-

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Take San Jose over Portland (9:30 p.m. EST, Saturday May 23) This is the last match before the International Break for the World Cup. San Jose is second place in the Western Conference and enters the week five points off the best mark in the entire MLS. This side is a legit championship contender with a +17 goal differential through 14 matches. Compare that to Portland, at 12th in the Western Conference with a -4 goal differential. Both teams will put extra emphasis on getting points before the break, but the Earthquakes have the players and coaching to get the three points here on the road. San Jose has never won here but this looks like the year it can happen as the Earthquakes are second in away form in MLS this season. They average over two goals per match on offense and have allowed a goal per match on defense. San Jose has won two of the last three meetings, with one draw, and we think they are well positioned to collect full points here before the break.

UNDER 8

Kansas City and Seattle meet and this is a good under spot. The Royals send out Noah Cameron, who has been up and down this year. After a stellar campaign last season, he’s looking to find his groove and this is a good matchup for him against an inconsistent Seattle offense. The Mariners counter with Logan Gilbert, who is in the same boat as Cameron. He’s been up and down, but goes up against a Royals offense that has struggled to find their footing. This will be a game both pitchers are able to get going early. Back the Under. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Today's FREE selection is a strong lean on the UNDER. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Friday's MLB Free Pick

PLAY ON: Braves -1.5 (-108) 

If you're scanning tonight's MLB slate for a total that actually has some meat on the bone, the Cardinals heading into Great American Ball Park against the Reds at 9.5 keeps jumping out as the most tempting play. This isn't just wishful thinking in a hitter's park , it's backed by how these teams have been performing, some clear pitching vulnerabilities, and a venue that loves to hand out extra-base hits like candy.

Great American Ball Park has a well-earned reputation for boosting offense, and the 2026 numbers haven't changed that story. The Reds have been one of the more over-friendly teams this season, with their games going over the total in 31 of 49 contests overall (roughly 63%). At home, that trend sharpens up even more , they've cleared the over in 11 of their last 15 home games. When these NL Central rivals clash here, things tend to get loose fast.

On the mound, it's Kyle Leahy (5-3, 3.94 ERA) for St. Louis against Chris Paddack (0-5, 7.07 ERA) for Cincinnati. Leahy's been solid but far from dominant, posting a 1.55 WHIP and allowing more than a hit per inning (51 hits in 45.2 IP). Paddack, though, has been a major red flag , he's been tagged for a 7.07 ERA across his starts, with opponents hitting him at a high clip and a WHIP sitting at 1.63. Starters in rough form at Great American often lead to early fireworks, and Paddack's recent body of work suggests he's ripe for that.

The Cardinals come in averaging about 4.47 runs per game with a .240 batting average and 56 home runs as a team. Guys like Jordan Walker have been swinging a lively bat, and contributors such as Alec Burleson and Ivan Herrera keep the lineup moving. They're not the most fearsome offense in baseball, but they manufacture runs and capitalize on mistakes. The Reds, meanwhile, sit at 4.42 runs per game with solid power numbers (63 HRs), and their home offense loves the dimensions here.

Recent trends line up nicely too. The Reds' overall over/under split shows they've been involved in high-scoring affairs more often than not, especially when playing at home. Neither bullpen is setting the world on fire right now, so if the starters exit early ,  which feels probable given Paddack's struggles , we could see some padded late innings. Historically, games in this park with one shaky starter have a habit of pushing totals into double digits.

I'm not promising a 10-8 barnburner (though that would be nice ), but 9.5 feels a touch conservative when you stack up the park factors, the pitching matchup, and both clubs' run-scoring tendencies. Baseball has this cheeky way of making unders disappear the moment the ball starts carrying.

as usual bet smart and shop for your best lines if possible, and keep an eye on any last-minute lineup or weather tweaks. For my part, this is the total I'm most at ease with tonight. Here's to a lively game with runners in scoring position all night long , the kind that reminds you why we love summer baseball.

My selection is on the 'over' between Vegas and Colorado at 8 pm et on Friday.

Game 1 of this series stayed 'under' the total (based on the closing number at many books) and that's notable as it was the Golden Knights third consecutive 'under' result. They've produced just one 'under' streak lasting longer than three games dating all the way back to November 22nd, that coming in March. Meanwhile, Colorado has produced just four different 'under' streaks going back to January 8th. The 'over' is 6-2 in the Avalanche's last eight contests. This total has shifted down slightly and isn't likely to rise with the news that Cale Makar will miss a second straight game for the Avs. I think there's a good chance we see plenty of goals after there were scoring chances aplenty but only six markers in Game 1. Take the over (8*).

Rockies vs Diamondbacks MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Arizona Diamondbacks have won five straight, and I expect a bigger win here than last night's 2-1 victory. Arizona is 6-3 against the runline as home favorites of -150 or more, and they've won right-hander Michael Soroka's last two starts, most recently an 8-2 win at Coors Field on May 17.

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the under in this matchup. The over/under is 9–1 to the over in the last 10 meetings in this series, but this will be the first matchup of 2026. Both teams are averaging under four runs per game, and Texas has seen four of right-hander Jacob deGrom’s (3–3, 3.02 ERA) last five starts stay under the total. Angels righty Grayson Rodriguez was slapped around by the Dodgers in his Angels debut, but that came against one of the league’s elite lineups; stepping down in class to this Rangers lineup should align with a lower-scoring game if he settles in.

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER!

FREE PLAY on Pirates +150

PSP Data Driven 1* White Sox.

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 favorite. Chicago White Sox is 8-3 in its last 11 games. San Francisco is 2-6 SU in its last 8 games.

For my best free pick on the board here for Friday I am looking at the WNBA and the Connecticut Sun at the Seattle Sound. I took the Sun on Wednesday and cruised to a cover with the Sun winning a close one no reason to change what worked here I just believe Seattle is one of the worsts or the worst team in the WNBA and the Sun have been playing tougher basketball covering 3 straight games. Look for the Sun to be up at half and hold on late to get us a nice cover.

Play on the Connecticut Sun plus the points rotation #631
