Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Red Sox/Yankees UNDER 6.5
The Red Sox had the worst offense in September. The Yankees have had one of the worst offenses in baseball without Aaron Judge. Both teams have been riding their starters and bullpens to the postseason, and that will be the case in the playoffs as well.
Cam Schlittler is going to be your AL Cy Young winner. He is 14-6 with a 1.95 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 33 starts this season. He has owned the Red Sox, going 3-1 with a 0.56 ERA in five career starts against them while allowing just 2 earned runs in 32 1/3 innings.
Payton Tolle is 9-6 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 26 starts for the Red Sox this season. He has been at his best on the road, going 6-3 with a 2.50 ERA and 0.97 WHIP In 12 starts away from home. Tolle is 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA in two starts against the Yankees this season, allowing just one earned run in 13 innings with 18 K's.
The Red Sox have the best bullpen in baseball with a 3.00 ERA while the Yankees rank 2nd with a 3.15 ERA. Bet the UNDER in Game 1 Tuesday.

William Burns
(#9) Chicago Blackhawks | ATS | .
Opening night has finally arrived in the NHL & I expect fireworks from start to finish. It's a new season with 84 games about to be played by each team for the very first time. I believe that Chicago, even without Connor Bedard, can be a very sneaky team throughout this season. Although it made the Stanley Cup and had a very good chance of winning it all, Vegas started the year rather poorly up until the end of November. I believe that the same thing could occur this time around. There's no question that Vegas is probably the better team. But, expect Chicago to put up a good fight in the opener. I'll take the extra goal and a half.
Burns' Prediction: 3-2 Blackhawks.
Frank Sawyer
FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR MONDAY, 9/28:
My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Monday is with the Tennessee Titans plus the points versus the Baltimore Ravens. Tennessee (0-3) remains winless this season after their 12-7 loss on the road in New York against the Giants as a 2.5-point underdog on Sunday. The Titans have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after losing three games in a row. And while first-year head coach Robert Saleh has a 23-35 ATS mark in his head coaching career mostly with the New York Jets, those Jets teams covered the point spread in 9 of their 13 games played in October which suggests his ability to make adjustments after the first month of the season. Baltimore (2-1) comes off a 34-31 last second victory against Dallas on Sunday in that game played in Brazil as a 3-point favorite. The Ravens return home where they have failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games. They have also covered the point spread in 10 of their last 16 games when favored. Take Tennessee plus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Brandon Lee
Tuesday's MLB Free Pick
PLAY ON: Yankees -127
Hunter Price
1* Free Pick on Ian Escuza +100
Joe Duffy
Minnesota's Luck Factor is +2.3 compared with New York at -1.1, creating a substantial 3.4-point Luck Factor gap toward New York. With Luck Factor one of our most heavily weighted side metrics, that's significant.
The market has moved aggressively in the opposite direction. Minnesota was approximately -1.5 and is now around -3.5. That's about a two-point move, which is meaningful in the WNBA. There are no key numbers involved; we're simply evaluating the magnitude of the adjustment. Under our methodology, that strengthens the case for fading Minnesota.
New York also supplied direct matchup evidence by beating Minnesota 91-75 in Game 1. Breanna Stewart produced 34 points and 12 rebounds. New York has now beaten Minnesota in three of four meetings this season.
Minnesota obviously has a powerful motivational angle facing elimination, and that probably explains part of the market adjustment. But motivation doesn't automatically justify moving the spread roughly two points toward a team carrying the worse side of our Luck Factor regression signal and coming off a decisive loss in the matchup.
At +3.5, there is enough corroboration from Luck Factor, fading a substantial line move and head-to-head matchup performance for a Major. I would still play New York at +2.5.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Cubs/Padres OVER 7
The Cubs have one of the best offenses in the majors scoring 5.3 runs per game. They have been led by their offense this season with a mediocre staff. The Padres showed what they were capable of down the stretch offensively. They have scored at least 4 runs in 16 of their last 18 games overall, including 7 runs or more 11 times. Matt Boyd has given up 8 earned runs in 9 innings in two starts against the Padres this season, both of which flew over the total with 16 combined runs in each. Michael King gave up 5 earned runs in 4 innings to the Dodgers in his final start of the season. The OVER is 5-1 in the last six meetings. Give me the OVER.

Doc's Sports
Free Play from Doc’s Sports: Take the Over in Maryland Terrapins at Nebraska Cornhuskers (4 p.m., Saturday, October 3, FS1). We faded Maryland with last week’s free play, and the Terrapins delivered a rough performance in a 54-3 home loss to UCLA. That result has turned up the heat on their head coach, and we expect a better offensive effort this Saturday. The bigger concern remains Maryland’s defense, which surrendered 34 points to Virginia Tech before allowing 54 to UCLA. Nebraska has been piling up points, scoring 49, 56, 34, and 31 in its first four games of 2026. With the Cornhuskers rolling offensively and Maryland looking to respond, we like this matchup to go over the total. Back the Over.

My selection is on Arizona over New York at 1 pm et on Sunday.
While the Giants enter this game with the better overall record, I don't think there's any question it's the Cardinals that appear to have more upside through three weeks of the season. I really liked the fight Arizona showed in last week's loss but ATS cover on the road against the 49ers. Bettors wanted no part of the Cards after their blowout loss at home against Seattle in Week 2. Keep in mind, the Seahawks had extra time to prepare for that matchup after opening the season on a Wednesday. That's not to mention the fact that the Cards were in a clear letdown after pulling off a road upset of the Chargers in Week 1. The situation on offense is bad enough for the Giants that they elected to sign Vikings cast-off QB J.J. McCarthy. Last week's win over Tennessee had everything to do with the ineptness of the Titans and very little to do with New York's own crisp play. That was an ugly game all around that to put bluntly, someone had to win. While the Giants might have had a chance to compete this year with a healthy Jaxson Dart at quarterback, I fully expect them to quickly fall well back of the pack with Jameis Winston running what already looks like a broken offense (the fact that they're bent on featuring RB Cam Skattebo as the focal point is the biggest red flag). Take Arizona (8*).
AAA Sports
Our selection is on the Colorado Avalanche to defeat the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday at 10:07pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:
These teams played in round one of the NHL playoffs last year and Colorado won each and every game of that series.
The Avalanche couldn't get past Vegas. But, they were dealing with injuries in that series.
They are back and even better for this season.
Los Angeles lost it's captain, Anze Kopitar due to retirement.
The Kings will also be without Kevin Fiala still for the opening part of this season.
The play is on Colorado at home.

Free Play – Take #6 Boston -105 over N.Y. Rangers (8:07 p.m. ET, Tuesday, September 29)
After Marco Sturm's head coaching debut ended with a surprise return to the Stanley Cup playoffs last spring, the Bruins are eager to begin the 2026-27 season with a Tuesday night visit from the New York Rangers. "I think (that experience is) a good thing. The message (to start training camp) was that we want to build on that," said Sturm, whose team suffered a first-round playoff exit against the Buffalo Sabres following a 100-point regular season. "We want to have that taste again. ... We want more. But we've got to earn it." Boston returns many of its core players, but will be without Charley McAvoy for six games as he serves a suspension. The Rangers start anew after finishing last in the Eastern Conference and missing the playoffs for the second straight season in 2025-26. New York has reworked its roster in hopes of returning to the postseason. Give me the Bruins at home on Day 1 of the NHL!
