Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Nationals/Marlins OVER 8.5
The Miami Marlins are 105-74 OVER in all home games over the last three seasons. They are up against a Washington Nationals team that has gone 24-13-2 OVER in all games this season. The Nationals are scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.6 runs per game this season.
Zack Littell has been one of the worst starters in baseball this season. He is 1-4 with a 7.24 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in five starts and two relief appearances while allowing a whopping 13 homers in 32 1/3 innings. Littell has allowed 21 earned runs and 11 homers in 18 2/3 innings in his last four starts alone.
Janson Junk has been solid at 2-3 with a 2.82 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in seven starts this season. But Junk is due some regression considering he is 9-10 with a 4.44 ERA in 188 1/3 innings in his career in the big leagues. He allowed 6 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of a 15-7 loss to the Nationals in his last start against them. Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

Saturday’s FREE PLAY: OVER in the MARINERS/WHITE SOX.
I had to double check this statistic, but eight of the last 10 meetings going back to late July 2024 between Seattle and Chicago have gone over the total. Yesterday‘s contest saw a combined 20-runs scored. Just something about the two teams when they meet, the scoreboard lights up, my friends. Statistically they both average somewhere around 4.5 runs per game. The Mariners enter this matchup playing to eight overs in their last 10 outings while the White Sox come into this matchup playing back-to-back overs. Looking at the pitching matchup further compels me to side with the over. Luis Castillo and Anthony Kay are scheduled. The Seattle right-hander is winless on the campaign at 0-3 with a whopping ERA of 6.29. The team has dropped five of his seven outings 2026. The Chicago left-hander is 1-1 with an ERA of 5.70 as the team has dropped three of his five turns on the campaign. On the road Castillo is possessing an ERA a whopping ERA of 7.31, while at home, Kay is almost as bad, donning an ERA of 5.73. They’re both giving up tons of home runs, and a lot of earned runs. This game is shaping up to be another over like yesterday. Take the over. Thank you.

It's going to be hot in Kansas City tonight with light winds blowing out to center. With the fences moved in at Kauffman Stadium this season, runs will be up. The Tigers are going to make this a bullpen game due to all the injuries to their rotation. The Royals will go with Michael Wacha, who has given up 12 earned runs in 17 1/3 innings in his last three starts. Wacha has given up 7 earned runs in 10 2/3 innings in his last two starts against Detroit. Give me the OVER.

HUGE Saturday Card has the 2026 NHL Playoff TOTAL of the YEAR, and 2 Solid NBA Plays including a TOP TOTAL in the Rockets vs Lakers Game 3. WNBA Comp play below
The Saturday Comp play comes by way of the WNBA and Rob is backing the Chicago Sky in their opener vs the Portland Fire. There is a nice game 1 system that applies here as home dogs of more than 1 are 0-7 straight up and to the spread if they are home in their next game and the posted total is 157 through 174. With an average line of +5 these home dogs are losing on average by 17 points per game. Chicago revamped their roster making major changes, bringing in more experience and solid scorers Jackson and Carrington and pairing them with veteran guards Diggins and Cloud. Chicago should be much better than last year. Portland makes their debut and they may struggle early while they try and gain Chemistry and continuity in their rotations and expansion teams tend to struggle early on until they acclimate. For all the reasons above we will Play on Chicago. GL Rob V-
Jim Feist
Kansas City is good play at home. Detroit’s rotation is becoming thin and banged up as a number of their key arms have gone down. Detroit has also lost six of their last nine games. Kansas City will receive Michael Wacha who has quietly put up a 3.05 ERA this season while Detroit may be forced to turn to Ty Madden or Burch Smith here today. Either starter for Detroit will come up short in the matchup with Wacha.
Kansas City also benefits from the home/road split. Detroit has struggled mightily on offense when they play away from home while Kansas City’s lineup has faired much better at Kauffman Stadium. Their rank of sixth in home runs at 5.2 RPG shows that. Those are exactly the types of games Kansas City can make early runs in, protect their lead and win at home today.
Jim's FREE Play: Royals
Ray Monohan
Brewers +130
The Brewers are worth a free move. Milwaukee sends out Kyle Harrison, who has stepped up in this rotation. He owns an ERA of just 2.12 and he’s been as consistent as they come. He works deep into games and is off a gem where he threw 6.0 innings allowing just 1 run against the Nats. Cam Schlitter counters and while he’s been good, he runs into a Brewers offense that has found its groove. Expect them to make him work early and rack his pitch count up. 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 BREWERS ML. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Opening weekend in the WNBA always carries that special buzz, and today’s slate has me circling one matchup that feels like the cleanest betting edge on the board. With the Dallas Wings visiting Indiana, Atlanta heading to Minnesota, Chicago taking on Portland, and Phoenix making the trip to Las Vegas for the Aces’ home opener on national TV, the spotlight for me lands directly on the defending champs hosting the Mercury. After back-to-back-to-back titles, Vegas is raising another banner before tip-off, and if history has taught me anything, they’re not about to let the party get spoiled right out of the gate.
What really stands out to me here is how one-sided this rivalry has become in recent seasons. The Aces have owned the Mercury in the last couple dozen meetings, winning the vast majority and often doing so by double digits at home. Whether it was regular-season romps or those grind-it-out playoff battles last year, Las Vegas has shown they simply have more answers when these two rosters clash. Phoenix has talent, no question, but the trend is unmistakable: when the Aces are at full strength in their own building, the Mercury tend to run out of gas late.
A huge piece of that edge starts and ends with A’ja Wilson. Career numbers against Phoenix already show her averaging around 22 points and 10 rebounds a night, but the more recent games paint an even clearer picture, she’s been a straight-up monster, routinely exploding for 26-plus points and double-digit boards while dominating the paint. You watch her in these matchups and it’s like she flips an extra switch. Add in the home-opener energy, the championship pedigree, and a core group that’s largely stayed intact, and you’ve got a team that’s motivated, experienced, and downright scary right from the opening tip.
From a betting-trends standpoint, defending champions with roster continuity have a habit of making loud statements in home openers, and the Aces have been one of the league’s most reliable home covers for years now. Early-season games often come down to execution and depth, and that usually tilts toward the more established group while the visitors shake off a little rust. Phoenix has found the road tough against this particular opponent time and again, so when you stack up the historical dominance, the Wilson factor, and that home-court motivation, it points to Vegas pulling away comfortably.
My best bet for today is the Las Vegas Aces to cover the spread against the Phoenix Mercury. It’s not the flashiest pick on the slate, and the WNBA has a funny way of delivering surprises on opening weekend, but when the trends, the head-to-head history, and the on-court evidence all line up this cleanly, it’s hard to look anywhere else. I’ve followed this league long enough to know these kinds of edges don’t come around every day, here’s hoping the champs kick things off the same way they finished last season: on a mission.

My selection is on the 'under' between Colorado and Minnesota at 9 pm et on Saturday.
While the Avalanche are known for their offensive prowess and that's certainly been on full display in the first two games of this series, they actually enter Saturday's Game 3 in Minnesota riding a season-high four-game 'over' streak. In fact, they've posted four straight 'under' results only once previously this season. Meanwhile, the Wild's own current four-game 'over' streak is their longest since the beginning of March. A scene shift can often serve as a catalyst for change and I think that will be the case as far as the total goes in this series. Take the under (8*).
AAA Sports
AAA Sports' Selection: Colorado Avalanche/Minnesota Wild (UNDER).
Colorado has taken a 2-0 series lead with sheer goal scoring. We anticipate Minnesota to make some adjustments defensively for Game Three.
The Avalanche have still seen 10 of their L14 games played against opponents from within the Western Conference stay UNDER.
The UNDER is also 15-26-2 for the Avs in each and every single one of their road games this year.
Minnesota does like the high scoring type of game. But, it's going to have to change it's mentality because shootouts are not working in it's favor.
The Wild have seen nine of their 16 home games against opponents within the Central Division stay UNDER this season.
The play is on the UNDER.
Mike Lundin
Braves vs Dodgers MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): Atlanta righty Spencer Strider’s (0-0, 8.10 ERA) recent arc has shifted from "untouchable ace" to more of a volatile, high-strikeout arm with a thinner margin for error. Against a deep Dodgers lineup that grinds at-bats, his walk issues and occasional command lapses can snowball quickly. One crooked inning is all you need to turn a tight moneyline win profile into a multi-run result.
Dodgers' Blake Snell has not played this season due to an injury, but has made a name for himself as a swing-and-miss lefty with the kind of stuff that can completely cap an opponent's scoring for five or six innings when he’s in rhythm. Add an elite bullpen, and you have, well, a reigning World Series champion...
The Dodgers are 23-14 as favorites, which is not super impressive to be honest, but when they win, it's typically by more than one run which is why I recommend the runline instead of the moneyline.
The Bet: DODGERS -1½ (3%).

I am looking at the LA Lakers hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder here in game 3 after two pretty easy wins and covers that I was on the Thunder I am going to switch it up here and back the LA Lakers at home. We should see this team step up their game in this must win spot that LA crowd should be rocking and I expect this game to be a two possession game through out. Look for the Lakers to be up at half and crash down to earth in the 4th quarter.
Play on the LA Lakers plus the points rotation #504
