Play on: Tigers +125 at Ace
Game Analysis

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Detroit Tigers +125

The Detroit Tigers have gone 6-0 in their last six games overall while scoring 6 runs or more in all six wins.  Their lineup is back to full strength and showing what it is capable of when that's the case.  The Tigers actually have the 3rd-best run differential (+80) in the AL this season, even better than the Rays (+70).

To compare, the Blue Jays have a -41 differential yet are still in playoff contention.  Getting the Tigers as underdogs here with the advantage at the plate and on the mound today is tremendous value.

I'll gladly fade the washed up Max Scherzer, who is 2-8 with a 6.38 ERA in 15 starts this season while allowing 48 earned runs in 67 2/3 innings.  Scherzer is 2-7 with a 6.75 ERA in 10 home starts.  He has allowed 9 earned runs and 3 homers in 10 1/3 innings in his last two starts against Detroit as well.

Keider Montero has been solid for the Tigers this season.  He is 9-8 with a 3.55 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 24 starts and six relief appearances.  Wrong team favored here.  Bet the Tigers Wednesday.

Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on Under.

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 Under is 4-0-1 in Yusei Kikuchi last 5 starts for the Angels.

- The Under is 6-4 in the Angels last 10 games.

- The Under is 3-1 in the Angels last 4 home games.

Verdict: Run should be hard to come by in this game.

Game Analysis

The Luck Gap provides the foundation. Atlanta is +5.26 while Chicago is -1.88, creating a STRONG 7.14-game differential toward the Cubs.

JR Ritchie has a 6.85 ERA over his last five starts, averaging only 4⅓ innings. Shota Imanaga has been considerably more dependable, with Chicago going 4-1 in his last five starts. He has allowed just three earned runs over 12 innings in his last two.

MLB | Tigers vs Blue Jays
Play on: Tigers +117 at circa
Game Analysis

The defending American League champion Blue Jays have been disappointing all season. They are staying that way now having lost four of their last six, including getting blasted, 10-1, by the Tigers yesterday. If the season ended today, Toronto would not be in the playoffs.

Detroit has won six in a row. The Tigers are averaging eight runs a game during this winning streak. I don't see 42-year-old Max Scherzer stopping the Tigers here. Scherzer is 2-8 with a 6.38 ERA. Making things worse for the Blue Jays is their bullpen is carrying a high fatigue rating.

Tigers starter Keider Montero is 9-8 with a 3.55 ERA. He is a middle-to-backend of the rotation type of starter, but he rates an edge on washed-up Scherzer plus the Tigers have a rested bullpen.

So the Tigers should not be underdogs here.

NFL | Lions vs Bills
Play on: UNDER 55 -115
Game Analysis

1* Free Pick on Lions/Bills: under 55

A total of 55 sits at the extreme top of the NFL board, and it got there off a one-game sample from each team.

The case against the under is obvious.

Buffalo put up 36 on Houston Sunday, Detroit hung 31 on New Orleans in overtime, and Josh Allen accounted for 4 total touchdowns.

I'm not arguing with any of that.

I'm arguing with the price.

Both teams have played exactly 1 game this season, and the books priced this like both offenses repeat that output on 3 days of rest.

That's recency bias, not handicapping.

Thursday games are a different animal.

No real practice week, no full install, tired legs on both sides.

Offenses feel it more than defenses.

Detroit's protection is the bigger issue.

Guard Christian Mahogany left Week 1 with a knee injury and Dan Campbell admitted he isn't out of the woods.

Tackle Blake Miller and guard Juice Scruggs are also questionable.

Jared Goff behind a patched line, on the road, against Bills edge Greg Rousseau, who sacked C.J.

Stroud twice Sunday.

That's stalled drives and field goals.

Detroit's own plan slows this down too.

Jahmyr Gibbs handled 29 of the team's 31 backfield carries in Week 1.

That's a run-heavy identity that bleeds clock and caps possessions.

And the pass rush cuts both ways: Lions end Aidan Hutchinson posted 2 sacks of his own Sunday.

A 55 needs roughly 8 touchdowns of scoring on a short week with banged-up lines.

I'll take the number the market overreacted to.

I like the Under

The Key: The UNDER is 5-0 in the last 5 matchups between the Brewers and Pirates with 7 or fewer combined runs in all 5 contests.  This trend should continue today with these two elite starting pitchers.  Logan Henderson is 10-3 with a 2.34 ERA and 0.78 WHIP In 16 starts for the Brewers this year.  Henderson has held the Pirates to 3 ER in 11 innings in 2 lifetime starts against them.  Jared Jones has tossed 13 shutout innings with 17 strikeouts in his last 2 starts.  Jones has yielded 4 ER in 10 innings in 2 lifetime starts against Milwaukee.  Take the UNDER.

Play on: San Jose 0½ -153 at betonline
Game Analysis

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take San Jose +0.5 GL over LAFC (7:30 p.m. EST, Saturday September 19) San Jose hadn’t won a match since the World Cup up until recently but lo and behold they have now won two straight and look like a completely different side. They manhandled a good San Diego side on the road in a 3-2 win that was more dominant than the final score might indicate. And last week they gutted out a 1-0 win here at home vs. a Houston side that is one of the top teams in the Western Conference. We were on San Jose in that one and mentioned in our writeup that one of the main problems with the Earthquakes since the World Cup break is that they were lacking confidence and now they seem to have it back in spades and their play has been exceptionally strong. They are now unbeaten in four straight matches, and they are back in a Top 4 spot in the West with a chance to move higher with three points here. We only need a draw however, to cash this ticket, and we think they can do enough to get at least a point. LAFC is coming off a 3-1 road loss at Kansas City, one of MLS’s worst sides. LAFC are behind the Earthquakes in the standings despite all the struggles San Jose has faced since the World Cup break. They have only one win in their last eight MLS matches, and this side is just not playing championship-caliber futbol right now. San Jose always raises their level of play when LAFC comes to town and have won five of the last six meetings here.

Game Analysis

My MLB is clicking on all cylinders as I come off a big 3-game sweep a few days back. I am very particular in my baseball releases. Today, we crush the books with my: EARLY GAME WINNER, 4-0 L4 DOUBLE PLAY, and my 10-3 L13 HOME RUN RELEASE. We SWEEP again.

Wednesday’s Free Winner: Milwaukee Brewers.

Game 905.

3:40 PM PST/6:40 PM EST.

The Milwaukee Brewers are the first team in baseball to clinch their Division this season. Winning seven of their last 10 and earning an overall record of 94-57, they sit atop the NL Central with a 10.5 game cushion over the Chicago Cubs. They currently possess the best overall record in the Majors as well, my friends. Yes, there are times that you’ll look at a team who has already clinched their Division and maybe fade them. But this isn’t one of those times. They still have 11 games left in their regular season. And they certainly don’t want to take their foot off the gas and maybe go in cold into the postseason cold. They definitely have to keep the engine revving. What better team to face then the Pittsburgh Pirates. They sit in third place in the Central playing .497 ball, with a record of 75-76. They statistically still have a chance at the postseason at 7.0 games back of a Wildcard situation. It’s unlikely this team will make the postseason. And let’s face it, there is no love lost between these two squads. I mean prior to taking the last four matchups, the Brewers dropped four in a row, and five of the previous six against the Pirates this season alone. It seems as though when Pittsburgh plays less than stellar opposition they do well. But when they have to play solid opponents, they fall way short. Starting today for both teams is Logan Henderson and Jared Jones. The Brewers right-hander is a very respectable 10-3 with a 2.34 ERA on the campaign as the team has prevailed in 12 of his last 14 turns. He’s a durable pitcher which normally goes five innings or more, and has not allowed a single opponent to put a better than three earned runs against him in any outing in 2026. He’s good on the road, solid over his last three appearances, and has faced the Pirates once this season, and overall, owns a 1-0 record with a 2.45 ERA in two career starts against them. The Pittsburgh right-hander is 4-6 with a 4.10 ERA on the campaign. He has done well over his last three outings. But at home this season he is just 1-3 with a whopping ERA of 4.60, and over the last month and a half, the team has dropped seven of his last nine starts. This game almost made us a premium release for me. But I still feel the Brewers are the play. Thank you.

NFL | Lions vs Bills
Play on: UNDER 54½ -110
Game Analysis

My selection is on the 'under' between Detroit and Buffalo at 8:15 pm et on Thursday.

Bettors are anticipating a shootout between the Lions and Bills at brand new Highmark Stadium in Buffalo on Thursday. I believe this total will prove too high. Detroit ended up involved in a high-scoring 31-30 overtime game against New Orleans on Sunday. It was a tale of two halves as the Lions defense completely shut down the Saints offense early before coming unglued late, ultimately coughing up a 21-0 lead. Meanwhile, the Bills absolutely eviscerated an elite Texans defense in a big road win in Houston. Buffalo's defense obviously has some work to do after that poor performance, however. It does catch a break here with the Lions offensive line dealing with a cluster of injuries and the team travelling on a short week. It's early in the season and I'm just not ready to go 'over' a total this lofty, even in a game that features such elite offensive talent. Take the under (8*).

Tigers vs Blue Jays MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Detroit Tigers are one of the hottest clubs in baseball, scoring six runs or more in each game through a six-game winning streak. They're an underdog here with Keider Montero vs Max Scherzer on the mound, but Scherzer has not pitched nearly well enough in 2026 to warrant this price.

Toronto's veteran right-hander Max Scherzer (2-8, 6.38 ERA) has suffered through a thoroughly miserable 2026 campaign. While public name recognition keeps Toronto priced as a favorite, Scherzer's elevated ERA and 1.37 WHIP highlight severe regression. He is coming off another disastrous outing where he surrendered six earned runs over just five innings. 

Detroit right-hander Keider Montero (9-8, 3.55 ERA) has posted a WHIP of 1.03 on the season, giving Detroit a clear edge on the mound over Scherzer's current form.

The Bet: Tigers (3%).

Game Analysis

For one of my best free picks on Sunday I am looking at the Washington Commanders at the Philadelphia Eagles here on Sunday. I think we are getting a great value here getting more than a field goal with Washington. Over the years these teams no matter how good either one is play tight NFC East style games. I think Washington is under valued due to their poor season last year and the Eagles are over rated as usual and should see some decline this year. Look for a field goal win from the Eagles but it would shock me if we saw an upset here. 

Play on the Washington Commanders plus the points rotation #475
