Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Reds/Cubs OVER 8

The Cubs are 18-7-2 OVER in their last 27 games overall.  They have gone for 9 or more combined runs in 19 of those 27 games.  They are hitting the cover off the ball scoring 7 runs or more in 11 of their last 21 games, and they are scoring 5.4 runs per game on the season.

The Reds are 8-2 OVER in their last 10 games overall with 9 or more combined runs in nine of those 10 games.  The total for Game 1 was 11.5 with the wind blowing out, but the total in Game 2 has been set at 8 today, which is too big of an adjustment.  There will only be light winds blowing in at Wrigley Field which shouldn't have much of an impact against hitters.

The Cubs should stay hot at the plate tonight against Andrew Abbott, who is 1-2 with a 5.97 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in seven starts this season.  He has allowed 23 earned runs, 5 homers and 58 base runners in 34 2/3 innings.  Abbott allowed 4 earned runs and 2 homers in 6 2/3 innings in his last start at Wrigley.

Jameson Taillon is 2-1 with a 4.41 ERA in six starts for the Cubs this season.  He has allowed 17 earned runs and a whopping 9 homers in 34 2/3 innings.  The OVER is 4-1 in Taillon's last five starts with 9 or more combined runs in four of them.  The OVER is 6-0 in Abbott's last six starts with 9 or more combined runs in all six.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

MLB | CWS vs LAA
Play on: OVER 9 -105
Game Analysis

Sparked by Munetaka Murakami, who is tied for first with Aaron Judge in homers with 14, the White Sox are averaging 5.5 runs in their last 16 games.

The White Sox should produce a fair amount of runs going against rookie lefty Sam Aldegheri, making his first start of the season, and a very bad Angels bullpen that has the second highest ERA at 5.48. The White Sox rank in the top 10 in slugging percentage and OPS versus lefties.

The Angels have hit the ninth most homers in baseball. Finally healthy, Mike Trout has the fifth highest on base percentage. Jorge Soler is showing he still has life being just two RBIs away from leading the American League in that category.

White Sox starter Erick Fedde doesn't miss many bats with only 22 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings. Fedde, 0-3 this season, has a career mark of 34-58 with a 4.87 ERA and 1.42 WHIP.

 (Editor's note: Stephen Nover is undefeated this month on his MLB premium/free plays. Stephen has his Game of the Week today along with this free selection.)

Game Analysis

(#930) Seattle Mariners | ML | .

Bryce Elder (3-1, 1.88 ERA) vs. George Kirby (4-2, 3.00 ERA) .

I was going to like the Mariners to win tonight whatever happened in the opening game of the series yesterday. Seattle is starting to play much better offensively in my eyes, and it's still got pitching for days. No, the starters haven't been as dominant as you'd expect. But, for the most part, they've all been very solid, just not getting enough run support.

For Atlanta, I do like this team a lot. However, despite what his numbers show this season, I'm still not sold on Bryce Elder. I watched this guy get hit around for B2B seasons, pointing ERA's above 5.30 in both seasons. If he continues this pace, props to him. But, I do see it happening. Give me the M's here.

Burns' Prediction: 4-2 Mariners.

Game Analysis

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 6-1 in its last 7 games.

- Seattle is 1-5 in its last 6 games at home.

- Seattle is 2-6 in its last 8 games against an opponent in the National League East Division

Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.

Game Analysis

This is a FREE PLAY on the Braves.

The Braves are now 13-5 on the road after last night's 5-4 series-opening loss, while the Mariners move to 11-10 at home.

Bryce Elder is 3-1 with a 1.88 ERA for the Braves, and has been a step-above his counterpart George Kirby, who is 4-2 with a 3.00 ERA for the Mariners.

I think ATLANTA offers great value as a live dog to answer after last night's setback.

Consider the Braves.

Good luck, NP

Ronald Acuna Jr. is out for the Braves.  Cal Raleigh has sat out the last three games for the Mariners due to injury.  Those are the two most important hitters for their respective teams.  Bryce Elder is 3-1 with a 1.88 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in seven starts for the Braves this season as he has made the leap to being a legit starter in the big leagues.  George Kirby is a bonafide ace, going 4-2 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in seven starts for the Mariners this season.  Kirby is 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA in two previous starts against the Braves.  Elder held the Mariners to 2 earned runs in 6 innings in one start against them last season.  Give me the UNDER.

Tuesday Cinco De Mayo card has the 2026 NBA Eastern conf. Playoff TOTAL of the Year, the MLB Non divisional Game of the Month (Texas at NYY)  and a TOP NHL Total. Comp play below

The MLB Comp play at 9:40 eastern is on the Atlanta Braves at 9:40 eastern. Atlanta fit s a nice dog system here that pertains to away dogs at +120 or lower with a .650 or better Win percentage if they are off a road dog loss and scored 4 or more runs and won the prior game as a road favorite and are taking on a team like the Mariners that are .550 or less on the season and the total in the game is 9 or lower. These dogs are cashing 75% since 2004. Atlanta has Elder going and he has a stellar 1.88 ERA on the season and he opposes Kirby for the Mariners and he has been solid as well so this should be a competitive game. Based on the system we will back the Braves. GL Rob V-

OVER 8

Locking this in early. The Dodgers and Astros meet and this is an over spot. The Dodgers send out Ohtani for this one and while he’s been solid as a pitcher so far, the Astros offense is one of the tops in the league. Ohtani is also just 3-6 against Houston as a pitcher in his career in 14 career starts. Peter Lambert counters and he runs into a Dodgers offense that just hits. They put up 8 runs on Monday and he worked a season low 4.1 last time out. Both of these offenses will put up some numbers in this game. Back the over. 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 OVER 8. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

NHL | Wild vs Avalanche
Play on: UNDER 6½ -115
Game Analysis

My selection is on the 'under' between Minnesota and Colorado at 8 pm et on Tuesday.

Betting the 'under' in Game 2 of this series, after Game 1 saw a whopping 15 total goals, is about as difficult as it gets. However, I like the value here, noting that we saw plenty of 5.5's in advance of the series-opener but now we're working with 6.5's across the board for Game 2. Keep in mind, three of the four regular season meetings between these two teams totalled six goals or less. The Avalanche enter Game 2 on a three-game 'over' streak and that's notable as they've seen the 'over' cash in more than three games in a row only once previously this season, that coming during a four-game 'over' streak from December 27th to January 3rd. The Wild also head into this contest riding a three-game 'over' streak. They haven't posted more than three straight 'over' results going back to March 1st. Take the under (8*).

Game Analysis

AAA Sports' Selection: Colorado Avalanche (ML).

Colorado won Game One by a score of 9-6 and scored multiple goals in every period.

The Avalanche are now 8-0 over their L8 games this season, winning all five of their games in the playoffs.

They have also won 73% of their games played against opponents within the Western Conference this season.

Minnesota has been significantly worse on the road against opponents within the West, playing as a rather average hockey team.

The Wild are also winless over their L5 games played in May. With less experience in playoff hockey, the Wild could crumble again.

The play is on the Avalanche.

Reds vs Cubs MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): I think it's safe to say that Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott (1-2, 5.97 ERA) is due for positive regression. He finishing last season with a 2.87 ERA, and held the Cubs to five runs over 24 innings across four starts last season. Cubs righty Jameson Taillon (2-1, 4.41 ERA) posted a 2.03 ERA with a .167 OBA in two starts against Cincy. Gimme the under.

For my best free pick on the board here for Tuesday in the NBA we have the Oklahoma City Thunder and the LA Lakers. Lakers come into this game off an unprovable series 1 win versus the Houston Rockets. Lakers have covered 7 of the last 9 games so you know that will bring the Lebron guys out of the woodwork with the abundance of points they’re giving out here on Tuesday night. Thunder just 2 covers last 6 games should scare off a lot of backers here but not me. This Thunder team will want to exert their dominance right out of the gate. Thunder love getting up for the Lakers and have covered 5 straight versus LA.

Play on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points rotation #558
