Jack's Free Pick Friday: Cubs/Cardinals OVER 7.5

The Cubs finally got their bats going in Pittsburgh last series.  They scored 10 runs in Game 2 and 7 runs in Game 3 off of Paul Skenes, who is one of the best starters in baseball.  Look for them to stay hot at the plate tonight against Andre Pallante and the Cardinals.

Pallante is 4-4 with a 4.04 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in nine starts this season, including 1-4 with a 4.82 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in five home starts.  He allowed 6 earned runs in 1 2/3 innings in his last start against the Cubs, falling to 0-3 with a 7.81 ERA in three career home starts against them.  He is backed by a poor St. Louis bullpen with a 4.42 ERA this season.

The Cardinals are scoring 4.4 runs per game and allowing 4.5 runs per game this season.  They should have success at the plate today against a struggling Shota Imanaga, who has allowed a whopping 15 earned runs and 5 homers in 10 1/3 innings in his last two starts coming in.  This total of 7.5 is too short tonight.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

1* Bet on Mercury +5½

Ricky's 1* play on PHI.

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.

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

- LA Dodgers is 1-4 in its last 5 games against an opponent in the National League East Division

- Philadelphia is 9-2 in its last 11 games against an opponent in the National League.

Verdict: The value is on the Road Underdog.

(#909) San Francisco Giants | ML | . 

Logan Webb (2-4, 5.06 ERA) vs. Michael Lorenzen (2-7, 7.21 ERA) . 

So far this season, Logan Webb has been disappointing and I get people wanting to stay away. But, the Giants can't be this bad all season long & I expect them to finally wake up during this series against the Rockies. Colorado is the worst team in baseball right now in my eyes. Being at Coors Field should only help the SF bats wake up. 

Looking at the starters, Webb actually has significantly stronger numbers between the two despite having a poor season. He's coming off a stint on the IL, which could just be what he needed to recover & get his mind straight. Lorenzen has simply struggled all season long & I don't see it getting better any time soon. Hammer SF. 

Burns' Prediction: 7-3 Giants.

BIG Friday card up with MLB, NHL and WNBA. Comp play below

The MLB Comp play is on Atlanta at 6:40 eastern. The Braves are in the midst of a solid season perched atop the N.L. East standings 19 games over .500. Now they head to Cincinnati to take on the Reds who have won 5 of the last 7. The Problem for Cincy is Paddack who has lost his last 7 team starts. Holmes for the Braves has been serviceable and the Braves are in a nice series opening system tonight for road favortes off a road favored win scoring 10 or more runs if they lost the Prior game and their opponent is off a road loss scoring 3 or less runs. These road teams have won 8 of 11 since 2004. Look for the Braves to get the win. GL Rob V

1* MLB - Padres/Nationals FREE PICK on Padres -108

1* Free Pick on Lynx -4½

Minnesota already played this exact game six days ago without Napheesa Collier and won 85-75 on Chicago's floor.

The number now is 4.5.

That's the start and end of the conversation for me.

The obvious pushback is Collier.

She's out following ankle surgery and that's a 22.9 PPG hole in any lineup.

But the market knows.

A Lynx team with Collier is a 9 or 10-point favorite in this spot, not 4.5.

The line is already pricing her absence, and Chicago's own injury report is the part bettors are sleeping on.

The Sky are without Rickea Jackson (18 PPG before her season-ender), Gabriela Jaquez, DiJonai Carrington, and Courtney Vandersloot.

Kamilla Cardoso and Natasha Cloud are both game-time decisions.

Chicago is more shorthanded than Minnesota right now, just with less name recognition attached to the absences.

The efficiency gap is enormous.

Minnesota is shooting 51% from the field and 35% from three over their last 10.

Chicago is at 43% and 26%.

A 9-point eFG% gap (56% to 47%) in this league is a blowout waiting to happen, especially against a defense allowing 106.1 per 100.

The trends back it up.

Minnesota is 6-1 ATS in their last 7, 7-2 SU in the last 9 head-to-head, and Chicago is 1-9 SU in their last 10 at home.

Wintrust has been a graveyard for the Sky.

I like the Lynx

Dave's Friday Free Play:

1* on Philadelphia Phillies +105

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Philadelphia Phillies tonight as underdogs to the Los Angeles Dodgers.  It's rare you get the chance to back ace Zack Wheeler as an underdog.  Wheeler is 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in 6 starts this year.  Wheeler has yielded only 4 ER in 16 1/3 innings in his last 3 starts against the Dodgers.  Justin Wrobleski has come back down to early in his last 3 starts.  He has yielded 14 ER and 3 HR in 19 2/3 innings.  With only 31 strikeouts in 55 2/3 innings this year, Wrobleski is a contact pitcher and he's starting to get crushed for it.  Take Philadelphia.

This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX for our Friday Free Play. Detroit has gotten off to an awful start as it is now 22-35 which is tied for the worst record in the American League and after losing two of three against the Angels and now the Tigers hit the road where they are 8-21 and are actually favored. They turn to Troy Melton who made his season debut on Sunday after starting the season on the 60-day IL and pitched well, allowing one run on two hits in 5.2 innings against Baltimore but now faces a much better offense. The White Sox are now two games over .500 after taking three of four against the Twins and they trail the Guardians by three games in the American League Central. Erick Fedde gets the ball for Chicago in bulk relief as he will follow Brandon Eisert who is opening and slated for just one inning. Fedde was pitching well up until his last outing in San Francisco as he came in with a 4.30 ERA and 1.30 WHIP and he has been much better at home where he has a 3.71 ERA across 26.1 innings.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take Houston over Milwaukee (8:10p.m., Friday, May 29 MLB.tv) The Astros are a much better team at home compared to playing on the road. Milwaukee is not that familiar with Minute Maid Park, and I see Houston taking game one of this three game series behind Kai-Wei Teng. He has been off to a strong start this season with a 2.19 E.R.A. and a 1.05 WHIP. He has not allowed a run in back-to-back starts (11 innings) pitched and his team has also won his last two starts.

Canadiens +1.5

Montreal has value on the PL. While they trail the series and are on the ropes, this is still a closer series than a lot of people think. Montreal has gone toe to toe with the Hurricanes and they’ve been able to even cause a lot of havoc in front of net. This is a game where they will throw everything they have at the Canes and try to put them on their heels early. Grab the PL on the Canadiens. 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.

Friday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Brewers -116

My selection is on Phoenix plus the points over New York at 7:30 pm et on Friday.

The Mercury are reeling right now as they've lost four games in a row both SU and ATS, marking their longest losing skids of the season in both departments. They'll look to salvage the finale of their three-game road trip and earn some quick revenge against the Liberty on Friday after dropping an 84-74 decision on Wednesday. While wins have been tough to come by for Phoenix, lopsided defeats haven't been commonplace either. The Mercury have settled into playing at a slow pace and have ultimately limited their opponents' scoring opportunities, allowing 68 or fewer field goal attempts in six of their last seven contests. Despite losing by 10 points on Wednesday, Phoenix actually held New York to just 28-of-67 (41.8%) from the field. The Liberty have really been struggling offensively, connecting on 26, 28, 21 and 28 field goals over their last four games. Of course, injuries and illnesses have played a role and they figure to get some reinforcements back with Satou Sabally and Sabrina Ionescu likely to return on Friday. With that being said, New York has yet to string together consecutive ATS victories this season and I can't help but feel this line is moving in the wrong direction in advance of this rematch. Take Phoenix (8*).

Red Sox vs Guardians MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Cleveland Guardians have been of the most profitable teams to back in 2026, while we find Boston Red Sox on the other end of the spectrum as one of the best fades. The Red Sox are 6-12 as underdogs and fading them in these spots have generated a +17% ROI. Cleveland has won four of Slade Cecconi's last five starts, and he's been rock solid at home all season. Boston turns to Tyler Samaniego as an opener for Brayan Bello (2-5, 6.43 ERA) who clearly is having a tough season.  

The Bet: GUARDIANS (3%).

For my best free pick on the board here for Friday night in WNBA late action I am looking at the Portland Fire hosting the Atlanta Dream. Portland should get a ton of looks here at home from bettors as they have won and covered 3 straight games. Atlanta off two non covers and are laying a ton of points. Books cannot scare me off Atlanta who are one of the best teams in the WNBA. Don’t fall for this trap. Look for Atlanta to pull away big early and never look back. 

Play on the Atlanta Dream minus the points rotation #611
