Recommended Bet: Cartagines +240

Don't count out the defending American League champions just yet. The Blue Jays have won five of their last seven games. That puts them just 3 1/2 games back of the final American League wild-card spot with 42 games remaining in the regular season.

Toronto has momentum. Boston doesn't.

The Red Sox have gone from winning nine straight games to losing four in a row. They have scored 3 or fewer runs in four consecutive games for the first time since May.

The pitching matchup is Ranger Suarez versus José Soriano. They have similar numbers. Suarez is 4-3 with a 3.32 ERA. Soriano is 9-6 with a 3.24 ERA.

Suarez, though, is not in good form posting a 5.06 ERA in three starts since returning from the injured list. Soriano has allowed three earned runs during his past three starts spanning 16 2/3 innings.

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER Royals/Dodgers.

LA has taken the first two games of this series, but all signs point to a competitive battle in the finale with a couple of decent starters scheduled to go head-to-head.

I believe that runs will be at a premium in this one with the Royals Daniel Lynch IV (4-3, 2.45 ERA), going up against the Dodgers Matt Lauer (6-6, 4.89 ERA).

Lynch IV owns a strong 37:14 K:BB and 1.01 WHIP across 47.2 innings overall and 3-2 with a 2.99 ERA on the road.

Lauer has earned a spot in the six-man rotation and has a 31:13 K:BB over nine starts. He's 3-2 with a 4.70 ERA at home.

Look for these guys to battle into the deeper innings, and as a result, also expect this total to stay well UNDER the number.

Consider the under.

Good luck, NP

(#973) Texas Rangers | ML | . 

Cal Quantrill (4-4, 3.56 ERA) vs. George Klassen (0-1, 7.27 ERA) . 

While I'm not a huge fan of Cal Quantrill anymore, he has had a much better season this year than his past couple of campaigns. The elite pitching at the World Baseball Classic has most definitely helped him regain that confidence that he once had & I expect him to be sharp again on Wednesday against the worst team in the American League.

For the Angels, they'll go back to George Klassen this evening. While he's not pitched much, meaning there's not too many games to go off of, he has not pitched too well in his limited action. The Angels hitting doesn't help him out either. With this pitching matchup alone, I'm heavy on Texas. But, considering that there's a difference in hitting as well, this is a no brainer on Wednesday.

Burns' Prediction: 7-2 Rangers.

REDS ML

Cincinnati and Chicago meet and the Reds are worth a free move. This is a spot to fade Castillo. He just hasn’t been good all year and over his last 4 starts he’s allowed a combined 17 runs. Lowder counters and he has thrown back to back quality starts where he’s gone 6.0 innings allowing just 2 runs in each. This is a good price on the Reds. Back Cinci. Locking this in early. 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.

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Boston Red Sox -117

I like the spot for the Boston Red Sox tonight.  After going 32-5 over their previous 37 games, the Red Sox have now lost four straight.  They will be highly motivated for a victory in Game 3 tonight against the Toronto Blue Jays after dropping the first two games of this series.

Ranger Suarez is 4-3 with a 3.32 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 20 starts for the Red Sox this season, including 3-1 with a 2.83 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 10 road starts.  Suarez has owned the Blue Jays, going 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 0.58 WHIP in three career starts against them while firing 19 shutout innings with 22 K's.

Jose Soriano is 9-6 with a 3.31 ERA and 1.26 WHIP In 23 starts this season, including 3-2 with a 3.81 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 10 home starts.  Soriano was rocked for 7 earned runs in 3 2/3 innings of an 11-9 loss to the Red Sox in his lone career start against them last season.  Bet the Red Sox Wednesday.

1* on Rays/A's OVER 9.5

The Key: Sutter Health Park in Sacramento is the 2nd-most hitter-friendly park in the majors behind Coors Field.  Conditions will be favorable for runs again today with temperatures approaching 90 and light winds blowing out.  The Rays covered this total on their own in each of the first 2 games of this series and are capable of doing it again in Game 3.  They won 10-6 in Game 1 and 12-4 in Game 2.  Now they get to tee off on Jack Perkins, who is 2-8 with a 7.04 ERA this year while yielding 60 ER and 15 HR in 76 2/3 innings.  He is 1-4 with a 7.20 ERA at home yielding 36 ER and 10 HR in 45 innings.  Drew Rasmussen is probably due some regression for the Rays and having to pitch at Sutter Health Park today will likely have him coming back down to earth.  Take the OVER.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take #209810 Atlanta over New York Red Bulls (7:30 p.m. EST, Saturday August 15) We think this is a great spot for Atlanta. They have not been playing their best lately but this will be a homecoming for them as they have not played a home match since May 9, before the World Cup. Even though they lost last time out, we liked what we saw from them at Philly. They were up by two goals most of the match vs the Union but they were a man down and Philadelphia scored two goals in extra time to steal three points. As we stated, Atlanta has not played at home in a long time and we think this return will give them an extra burst of energy and it’s not like the Red Bulls are a great side. They are quite far above Atlanta in the standings but have a -10 goal differential compared to -14 for Atlanta, who have faced a real tough schedule on this road trip. It’s telling that Atlanta is a decent favorite here with their recent performances, and we think this is an amazing spot for them to pick up three points and some momentum for the second half of the season in front of the home fans.

1* Free Pick on Diamondbacks -170

Wednesday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Rays -1.5 (-130) 

The Packers roll into Pittsburgh Thursday night for the first full preseason game of the year, and the total is sitting right in that familiar 36.5 to 37.5 window. I’m on the under, and the deeper you dig into the league-wide and team numbers the more it feels like the right side of the math.

League-wide, the 37 threshold has been a reliable separator for years. Closing totals of 37 or higher have gone under at a 56.4 percent clip since 2010, a sample that runs well over 900 games. Since 2014 the under on those 37-plus numbers is even cleaner at 60.7 percent, returning solid units at standard pricing. The reverse holds too. When the number opens at 37 or lower the over hits closer to 59 or 60 percent. This matchup is perched right on the line, but the historical lean still favors the lower side once you account for how little the real starters play these days. Last year only 9.8 percent of preseason pass attempts came from quarterbacks who ended up starting Week 1. That is a sharp drop from the 30-plus percent range we saw a decade ago, and it means more backup-driven football, more conservative play-calling, and fewer explosive finishes.

The Steelers themselves have been a quiet under machine at home in the exhibition season. From 2002 through 2025 Pittsburgh as the home team went under in 67.4 percent of its preseason games, a 14-29-2 record that has produced double-digit units over the long haul. That is not a small-sample fluke. It lines up with the physical, run-heavy identity the organization has carried for years, even when the first-team defense sits most of the night. Green Bay has not been as extreme, but the Packers still play a brand of football that keeps games from turning into track meets, especially on the road in August.

Add the outdoor night setting in western Pennsylvania and the picture gets clearer. Early-season humidity and potential weather keep the ball on the ground more than the public expects. Combined scores in Week 1 preseason games have historically averaged just under 39 points against posted numbers that often sit in the mid-to-high 30s. When you stack the league-wide 56-to-60 percent under rate on 37-plus totals with Pittsburgh’s strong home under history, the edge starts looking real. At -110 a 56 percent hit rate over a 100-game sample nets you positive return after the juice. A 60 percent clip turns it into a steady grind that keeps bankrolls healthy over time.

There is the Rodgers-McCarthy reunion angle, and yes, the veteran may take 30 or 40 snaps against his old club. Even if he does, the majority of the game still belongs to the second and third units still working through timing and communication. Those groups rarely light up the scoreboard in Week 1. I like this under. It matches the long-term numbers, the team-specific home trend, and the reality of limited starter volume. Keep the stake sensible, enjoy the nostalgia, and let the points stay low.

My selection is on San Francisco plus the points over Tennessee at 9 pm et on Thursday.

The injury bug has hit the 49ers again this training camp and it has many bettors shying away from them as they host the Titans in their preseason opener on Thursday. I think this line has gone too far in Tennessee's direction. I understand the support for the Titans here in August as they do have a strong preseason quarterback rotation with experienced backups in Mitchell Trubisky, Will Levis and even Hendon Hooker who has made a splash in the preseason in prior years. With that being said, San Francisco has plenty of upside at the position behind Brock Purdy as well with Mac Jones firmly planted as the backup but Kurtis Rourke and Adrian Martinez capable of making some preseason noise. I just don't see enough of a depth advantage for a rebuilding Tennessee team to warrant it laying a field goal on the road in its first preseason contest. Both teams went 2-1 last August but dropped their respective preseason openers. It's worth noting the 49ers faced the tougher opening matchup against a deep Broncos team that has taken the preseason seriously under head coach Sean Payton. Take San Francisco (8*).

Our selection is on the Cincinnati Reds / Chicago White Sox game to finish OVER the total on Wednesday at 7:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Cincinnati will start Rhett Lowder who is 2-6 on the road this season with an earned run average of 7.71.

The Reds have seen the total go OVER in 59.0% of their games when playing as a road underdog.

Chicago will start Luis Castillo who is also having a bit of a rough season with a 5.30 earned run average.

The White Sox are the heaviest OVER playing team in the MLB this season with a 57.8% record towards the OVER in all games.

We're on the OVER.

AAA Sports

1* on Brewers -110

Guardians vs. Tigers Free Pick

The Angle(s): Guardians left-hander Foster Griffin (12-4, 3.31 ERA) was a monster with Washington before arriving in Cleveland, and he enters this outing eager to rebound after a bump in his Cleveland debut. Prior to that hiccup, Griffin was on an absolute tear, boasting a sub-2.00 ERA over a seven-start stretch in June and July.

Detroit southpaw Framber Valdez (7-7, 4.17 ERA) is coming off a dominant performance where he tossed seven scoreless innings with five strikeouts against Seattle. Valdez has pitched seven full frames in back-to-back starts and allowed just four earned runs total over his last 19 innings. Combined with a Tigers pitching staff that has held opponents scoreless in four of their last six contests, runs should be at an absolute premium.

The Bet: Under (3%)

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

The line appears to be highly influenced by Foster Griffin's rough Guardians debut, but we think this is an overreaction. The Cleveland Guardians (67-51) send LHP Foster Griffin to the mound looking for a bounce-back effort. While Griffin was tagged by the Mets in his first start for Cleveland, he was stellar earlier in the year with Washington, posting a 12-3 record and a 3.06 ERA across 22 starts.

That bodes well against a Detroit Tigers (59-59) squad that has struggled to produce against southpaws, holding a sub-.500 record (14-20) when facing left-handed starters this season.

Sam Burns vs. Xander Schauffele

Both players sit among the top contenders this week, but Burns combination of current form, course fit, and putting edge makes him the play.

Sam Burns has been the hottest player on Tour over the last month:

3rd at The Open Championship

2nd at the U.S. Open

T4 at the Memorial

T20 at the Canadian Open

T12 at Travelers

Five straight finishes between 2nd and 20th, with major contention, elite putting, and noticeably improved iron play. He skipped the week after the Open and arrives rested.

Burns history in this event adds to the case: runner-up in 2021, 5th in 2024, and a track record of solid finishes here. As a Louisiana native, he's grown up on Bermuda greens — a real edge on this surface.

Xander Schauffele is still chasing his first win of 2026, but the underlying form has picked up:

2nd at the Rocket Classic (his best finish of the season, strong tee-to-green)

T7 at the PGA Championship

T9 at the Masters

T11 at the U.S. Open

T18 at The Open

There have been rougher weeks mixed in (MC at the Scottish Open, T51 at Travelers), but the Rocket runner-up was a genuinely high-quality performance that should carry some momentum into the playoffs. His own history here is solid too — a runner-up finish in 2024 and a prior top-6.

Key statistical edges:

Par-4 scoring is critical on this layout, and Burns has ranked near the top of the Tour in this metric recently — as high as 2nd.

Putting favors Burns clearly; he's typically elite with the flat stick, which plays up on Bermuda.

Ball-striking/tee-to-green favors Schauffele, who generally holds the historical edge and reinforced it at Detroit.

Both players handle pressure and limited-field events well, and neither is a pure bomber — a good fit for a water-laden, accuracy-focused setup.

The Play: Sam Burns at the current price, on the strength of superior recent results, Bermuda expertise, and course history.

Take: Sam Burns over Xander Schauffele (+105)

Let's cash some tickets!

For my best free pick on the board for Wednesday in WNBA action I am looking at the Minnesota Lynx at the Portland Fire. These two teams have played twice this season with the Fire covering both contests. Lynx seems to have woken up lately covering 4 of the last 5 games and looking like they are gonna finish out the season on the dominant note. Portland is an expansion team and its been a long year look for them to hang in the first half of this game and for Minnesota to pull ahead by 20 in the second half and hold on tight for the cover. This has been the season of just blindly taking big dogs but down the stretch I see the bettors getting burned with these big dogs.

Play on the Minnesota Lynx lay the points rotation #647
