Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Guardians/Royals OVER 7.5
These two starters are getting too much respect tonight with this total set at just 7.5. Kauffman Stadium has turned into one of the most hitter-friendly parks in baseball this season with the fences moved in. Wind won't really be a factor today either way.
Cole Ragans is 1-4 with a 5.29 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in seven starts for the Royals this season. Ragans has already allowed a whopping 10 homers and 21 walks in 32 1/3 innings. He is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in three career home starts against the Guardians, allowing 11 earned runs in 14 2/3 innings.
Joey Cantillo is 1-1 with a 3.93 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in seven starts for the Guardians this season. He has allowed 15 earned runs, 5 homers and 48 base runners in 34 1/3 innings. Cantillo allowed 3 earned runs and 7 base runners in 4 innings in his lone career start in Kansas City. Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

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 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games.
- New York is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games when playing at home against Philadelphia.
- Philadelphia is 3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games.
Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Pittsburgh Pirates -121
The Pittsburgh Pirates were shut out 9-0 yesterday. They should flip the script today with the clear starting pitching advantage. Paul Skenes is 4-2 with a 3.18 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in seven starts this season. Mike Soroka is 4-1 with a 4.70 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in six starts this season. Skenes is 2-0 with a 1.00 ERA in three previous starts against the Diamondbacks while giving up only 2 earned runs in 18 innings. Soroka has a 9.00 ERA in one previous start against the Pirates while giving up 5 earned runs and 10 hits in 5 innings. Give me the Pirates.

The NHL Comp play is on Carolina at 8 eastern. The Canes have won the first 6 playoff games and tonight they take to the road off a come from behind win over Philly on Monday after trailing 2-0. Rob notes that home dogs like Philly that are off a pair of road dog losses are winless over the last 22 seasons if they blew a 2 goal lead in their last game. All time in round 2 game 2 road teams are 52-39 if they wont the first two at home. Look for the Canes to keep rolling here. GL Rob V-

Ray Monohan
Nationals +120
Washington and Minnesota meet and we’re on the Nats. Washington goes with Miles Mikolas, who shows a bit of an inflated ERA because of a rough start earlier this year where he had to wear it to save the bullpen. He’s allowed 3 runs or less in 5 of his starts and this is a matchup where he can utilize a lot of his off speed secondary pitches. Bailey Ober counters and he’s going to struggle against this Washington offense that will rack up his pitch count early. Expect plenty of traffic on the bases and for them to come up with some timely hits against him. Back Washington. 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 NATS ML.

Alex Smart
This matchup has all the ingredients for one of those classic, low-event playoff grinders that makes you appreciate the art of goaltending and defensive structure more than highlight-reel snipes.
The arms in net are a big reason why. Alex Lyon has been a revelation for Buffalo since stepping into the starter's role in the first round, posting elite numbers and giving up two or fewer goals in multiple outings while helping knock off Boston. On the other side, young Jakub Dobes has looked remarkably composed for Montreal, especially in that gutsy Game 7 road win where he was basically a brick wall. These aren't the types of goalies who let games get away from them early; they're the ones who force opponents to earn every chance, and in a Game 1 atmosphere, that usually means cautious hockey from the drop of the puck.
Recent trends back this up nicely. Montreal has been living in Under territory lately, with the total staying low in six straight games through their first-round battle. Buffalo's home defensive structure has been rock-solid all season, particularly when protecting leads or playing tight divisional foes. And don't overlook the history between these Atlantic rivals, three of their four regular-season meetings this year finished Under the number, with plenty of tight scores and strong netminding prevailing over offensive explosions. These teams know each other too well for wild, run-and-gun affairs.
Playoff openers at a building like KeyBank often bring extra tightness anyway. Teams aren't looking to trade chances; they're trying to set a tone, grind shifts, and wait for mistakes. Buffalo has been stingy on home ice throughout the year, and Montreal's road playoff games have stayed controlled more often than not. The posted total of 5.5 to 6 feels a touch high when you stack up the goaltending edges, the defensive-minded series opener, and how these clubs have played each other recently.
Sure, both sides have talent up front that can flip a game with one power-play sequence or lucky bounce, that's playoff hockey for you, but the data and patterns point to a game that stays under the radar and under the total. I've always had a soft spot for these kinds of disciplined wagers because they feel earned through the trends rather than chasing fireworks.
This Sabres-Canadiens tilt has the feel of a 3-2 nail-biter or something even lower, and that's exactly the kind of spot worth circling. As always, confirm the goalies, respect the variance that comes with special teams. Book it, as the edge goes to the under cashing.
Sean Murphy
My selection is on the 'under' between Texas and New York at 7:05 pm et on Wednesday.
We saw an 'over' result between these two teams to open this series last night as the Yankees prevailed 7-4. I'm expecting a different story to unfold on Wednesday as we have a terrific pitching matchup with Nathan Evoaldi going for Texas against Will Warren of New York. Eovaldi can get homer-happy at times and that's certainly been a contributing factor to his 5.03 FIP so far this season. Note that much of the damage was done in a start against the Athletics in which he was tagged for four long balls. He did settle down to toss seven shutout innings of four-hit ball against these same Yankees last time out. I'm confident he can navigate New York's lineup again on Wednesday. Eovaldi will need to be sharp as his counterpart, Warren, is off to a career-best start having logged a 2.80 FIP and 1.06 WHIP through seven starts. Warren brings excellent form into this outing as he has given up just five earned runs on 15 hits while striking out 26 and walking only two over his last three starts, covering a span of 19 1/3 innings of work. This matchup pits two of the best bullpens in baseball as the Rangers relief corps has logged a 2.78 ERA and 1.17 WHIP while the Yankees 'pen owns a 3.36 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. Take the under (8*).
Mike Lundin
Red Sox vs Tigers MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): The Boston Red Sox are going for the sweep of the series and Detroit righty Jack Flaherty (0-2, 5.90 ERA) does not look like a man who can stop them. The Tigers have lost four of his last five starts, and Boston won 8-6 in his last start against them back on April 20. Boston expects to see Sonny Gray (2-1, 4.30 ERA) activated from the injured list, and in 12 career outings (11 starts) against Detroit, Gray is 5-2 with an ERA of 2.45.
The Bet: RED SOX (3%).
The results don’t lie: Mike's was UNDEFEATED 3-0 yesterday (3-0-1 really), and on a 17-8, +$8,720 HEATER with top-rated (4-5%) premium picks!

Will Warren is 4-0 with a 2.39 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP, with 48 strikeouts, while Nathan Eovaldi has struggled this season. The Yankees have won six of their last seven games. The Yankees have more offensive firepower, as they have scored 192 runs this season, while the Rangers have managed to score 127. Take the better offense and pitcher in this one.
Play on New York minus 1.5 runs. This is a FREE play.
Brian Bitler
For my best free pick on the board here for Wednesday in NBA playoff action I am looking at the San Antonio Spurs hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now for me and my feel on this game is that bettors will over react to the Spurs loss in game 1 and run to back the Wolves and the boatload of points here on game 2 but this Spurs team is a bear you do not want to poke and I think we will see this Spurs team come out like they were shot out of a cannon and beat this Wolves team on both sides of the ball.
Play on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points rotation #564
