(#937) Cleveland Guardians | ML | . 

Daniel Espino (0-0, 4.11 ERA) vs. Sean Newcomb (2-5, 3.09 ERA) . 

Admittedly so, I did lose with the Guardians in Game 2. However, I don't see a world in which the Guardians get swept. I believe that Cleveland is still going to make this a series, even when playing on the road in an elimination game. Daniel Espino gets the nod & although he's a rookie and hasn't pitched much this season, I believe that he's going to be up for the challenge. 

CWS has taken a more bullpen approach in this postseason, not relying on pitchers to pitch far into games. While it's most definitely worked up until this point, it could start to catch up to them any moment. CLE hasn't been getting great hitting and that could start today. I'm going with the Guards. 

Burns' Prediction: 7-4 Cleveland.

Ricky's 1* play on SD.

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.

- The Padres are 7-3 in their last 10 games.

- The Padres are 4-2 in the last 6 head to head meetings.
  
- The Padres are 5-0 in their last 5 home games.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Wednesday FREE NCAAF O/U Play

My selection is on the 'under' between Tampa Bay and New York at 8 pm et on Wednesday.

Up 2-0 in this series, the Rays bats have done all of the heavy lifting to this point. They'll face a tough matchup on Wednesday, however, as they look to put away the Yankees who will send Max Fried to the hill. Note that current Rays hitters have gone a collective 24-for-134 (.179) with a .504 OPS against the veteran left-hander. Fried was terrific in his Wild Card start against the Red Sox, allowing just one earned run over six frames. Nick Martinez will counter for Tampa Bay. Current Yankees hitters are 32-for-126 (.254) with a .724 OPS against him. Martinez has enjoyed a career year and should be up to the task here. With relatively low humidity expected on an early October evening in the Bronx, look for the pitchers to control proceedings. Take the under.

Our selection is on the Colorado Avalanche to defeat the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday at 7:37pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Colorado should be favored in a lot of games this season and for a good reason.

The Avalanche are loaded with superstar ability and can flip a game upside down in an instant.

They are led by Nathan MacKinnon/Cale Makar.

We also don't think that Winnipeg is as good as last season and might trade Hellebuyck at the trade deadline.

Even at home, we're anticipating the Jets to have trouble against the forward line of COL.

The play is on the Avalanche.

Brewers vs Padres October 7, 2026

The Angle(s): The San Diego Padres stayed alive with a 4-3 win in Game 3 and now hand the ball to Walker Buehler (4.63 ERA), who is fresh after missing the start of the series on the paternity list. Buehler's ERA does not jump off the page, but the Padres went 10-3 in his second-half starts and he brings a strong October track record from his Dodgers days. Buehler is 2-1 with a 2.53 ERA in four career starts against Milwaukee. Every game in this series has been decided by one run, so getting the proven starter at home in a spot like this matters.

The Milwaukee Brewers have not named a starter as of the publication of this free pick, with Robert Gasser Shane Drohan and Chad Patrick the options, so this likely turns into a piecemeal game for them. With the Petco crowd behind them and the momentum flipped, we back the Padres to force a Game 5.

The Bet: Padres ML (3%).
