William Burns
(#919) New York Mets | ML | .
Christian Scott (0-0 4.26 ERA) vs. Jose Quintana (1-2, 4.07 ERA) .
Coming off yesterday's win, I believe that the Mets are going to want to continue their three game heater on Thursday. No, the Mets haven't been good this season. But, this is a start to get back on track. Christian Scott didn't pitch at all in 2025 after being quite average in 2024 in limited starts. That being said, I think that he has the potential to do some damage in the big leagues.
On the other hand, Colorado has lost six consecutive contests. The Rockies have not been producing enough offensively, and giving up way too many big hits here at home on this homestand. I expect that trend to continue here on Thursday evening. Hammer the Mets.
Burns' Prediction: 7-3 Mets.
Ricky Tran
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 14-3 in Detroit's last 17 games against Cleveland.
- The Under is 7-2 in Detroit's last 9 games when playing at home against Cleveland.
- The Under is 4-1 in Cleveland's last 5 games against an opponent in the Central Division.
Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.

Thursday card has 2 NBA TOP Plays one is a 100% Game 2 Round two 6* the other from our NBA Unsurpassed totals Collection. We also have NHL and MLB. Comp play below
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-

OVER 9
The Athletics and Phili clash and this is a good over spot. The Athletics goes with JT Ginn, who hasn’t been able to find any sort of rhythm so far. He owns an ERA well above 4 and was roughed up last time out for 5 runs against Cleveland. This Phili offense is heating up and they will put a lot of traffic on the bases against Ginn. Philadelphia counters pitching wise with Andrew Painter. He’s got an ERA of 5.28 and hasn’t surpassed 5 innings yet this season. He’s given up 3 or more runs in 4 of his outings this year and that number will rise as this A’s offense can really string together hits. Grab the over. 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 OVER 9. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Thursday's MLB Free Pick
PLAY ON: Phillies -130
Sean Murphy
My selection is on the 'over' between Carolina and Philadelphia at 8 pm et on Thursday.
We couldn't quite get there with the 'over' in Game 2 of this series on Monday, even after three goals were scored in the game's first 11 minutes. I won't hesitate to go back to the well with the same play again in Game 3, however, at an even more generous price. The Flyers are now on a four-game 'under' streak and that's notable as they've had just one 'under' streak last more than four games this season, that coming during an eight-game streak that stretched from late January to early March. Of course, that streak featured four games with totals set at 6.5. The Hurricanes check in off back-to-back 'under' results. They've posted more than two 'unders' in a row just twice since December 13th. Take the over (8*).
Mike Lundin
Mets vs Rockies MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): Wednesday’s matchup at Coors Field produced 15 total runs, and I expect the ball to carry again in Thursday’s rematch. Mets right‑hander Christian Scott (0‑0, 4.26 ERA) has just 11 big‑league starts under his belt and is still finding his footing. In his two outings this season, he’s allowed three earned runs on only three hits but has issued five walks, a dangerous combo at altitude. Pitching at Coors can be tricky even for veterans, and left‑hander Jose Quintana (0‑1, 5.40 ERA at Coors this year, is now learning that first‑hand with Colorado.
With a hitter‑friendly environment, a green arm in Scott, and a vulnerable Quintana, the setup strongly favors another high‑scoring affair.
The Bet: OVER (3%).
