Game Analysis

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Tampa Bay Rays +148

The New York Yankees have a total of 5 hits in losing the first two games of this series.  Their offense was always going to be the problem in the playoffs, and that is playing out here without Aaron Judge.  It won't get any easier against one of the most underrated starters in baseball in Nick Martinez in Game 3.

Martinez is 15-6 with a 3.10 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 31 starts this season, including 7-3 with a 2.38 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 16 road starts.  He has owned the Yankees this season with a 2.16 ERA in three starts against them while allowing just 4 earned runs in 16 2/3 innings.  Martinez and the Rays should not be this big of an underdog in Game 3 tonight.

Max Fried is getting too much respect, especially if you look at his results against the Rays this season.  Fried has allowed 7 earned runs in 14 2/3 innings for a 4.29 ERA in two starts against Tampa Bay in 2026 alone.  Bet the Rays in Game 3 Wednesday.

Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on SD.

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 Padres are 7-3 in their last 10 games.

- The Padres are 4-2 in the last 6 head to head meetings.
  
- The Padres are 5-0 in their last 5 home games.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

NFL | Bucs vs Cowboys
Play on: UNDER 47½ -105
Game Analysis

1* Free Pick on Bucs/Cowboys: under 47½

This total is priced off Sunday's shootout, and short-week Thursday football rarely delivers a sequel.

Dallas just played a 64-point game.

The Cowboys trailed Houston 16-6 at halftime and stole it 34-30, with Dak Prescott throwing 45 times for a season-high 335 yards and CeeDee Lamb soaking up 21 of those targets.

That performance is built into 47.5.

Dallas is averaging 30.5 points and allowing 28 through four games, so the books have already pushed this number up.

You make money when you buy, not when you sell, and the buy price on the over here is the worst it's been all season.

Now both teams turn around on three days' rest.

Thursday games get sloppy.

Game plans shrink, legs are heavy, and offenses that live on rhythm tend to look a step slow.

The Cowboys are also patching the offensive line.

Tackle Drew Shelton is doubtful and unlikely to be cleared for Thursday.

Guard Tyler Smith was only cleared to return to practice Monday after opening the season on injured reserve, and he was limited in his first session back.

Getting him activated on a short week is a stretch.

Outside of Lamb, the passing game is thinner than the scores suggest.

Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson sits at 0.71 yards per route run with just 12 catches for 83 yards.

If Lamb doesn't see 21 targets again, Dallas has to grind this one out.

Take the inflated number before it drops.

I like the Under

Play on: OVER 7½ -110
Game Analysis

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Brewers/Padres OVER 7.5

These teams combined for 16 hits in Game 1, 10 hits in Game 2 and 17 hits in Game 3.  There have been plenty of traction on the bases to produce more runs than we've seen thus far in this series.  And now Game 4 is easily the worst pitching matchup thus far and the hitters should have their way.  The Brewers will be going with an opener in Chad Patrick and making this a bullpen game.  The Padres will be going with Walker Buehler, easily the weakest starter in their playoff rotation.  Buehler has a 4.63 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 32 starts for the Padres this season.  Both bullpens are pretty taxed and the Padres are dealing with an injury to Morejon and a distracted Mason Miller who missed Game 3 on paternity leave after getting shelled in Game 2.  That's their two best relievers.  Give me the OVER.

Game Analysis

HUMP DAY Card Has the 2026 WNBA TOTAL OF THE YEAR and the STRONGEST Divisional Series TOTAL We will release tonight. NHL Comp play below

The NHL Comp play is on Colorado at 7:35 eastern. There are 2 solid early season systems that apply to this game tonight. First we looked at game 3 road favorites off back to back home wins  and scored 2+ goals in each win. These teams are 7-1 since 2007. Looking at Winnipeg we see that game 4 home teams like the Jets are 0-5  off back to back road wins after losing their home opener. The Avalanche have scored 14 goals through the first 2 games. Winnipeg has done well to bounce back from a home loss to Boston with 2 road wins but this will be a tough game for them to get. Look for Colorado to get the win. GL Rob V-

NCAA-F | South Florida vs UTSA
Play on: OVER 49½ -115
Game Analysis

OVER 49.5

UTSA's offense comes alive at home, scoring 59 and 45 in its two Alamodome games this season while going OVER in 12 straight there. USF can help against a Roadrunners defense allowing 218 rushing yards per game, and the Bulls have already scored 13 rushing TD's. We don't need a track meet at 49.5. UTSA gets into the 30's, USF does enough, and we're in business. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. FREE selection is a strong lean on the OVER 49.5. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

NCAA-F | Sam Houston vs Liberty
Play on: Sam Houston +13½ -110 at Buckeye
Game Analysis

My selection is on Sam Houston State plus the points over Liberty at 7 pm et on Thursday.

Liberty enters this game riding a four-game SU and three-game ATS winning streak. That's impressive to be sure, but I think the Flames are laying too many points in this tough scheduling spot. Liberty will be playing on just five days' rest after posting a 30-14 win at Delaware last Friday. Meanwhile, Sam Houston State has been idle since dropping a 49-14 decision in an impossible road matchup against Texas Tech on September 26th. That ATS defeat against the Red Raiders marked the Bearkats first dropped cash of the season. Of note, Sam Houston State has faced a slightly more difficult schedule than Liberty based on most metrics and its first two losses came by a combined nine points against Troy and Tulsa. Take Sam Houston State.

NHL | Avalanche vs Jets
Play on: Avalanche -175 at betonline
Game Analysis

Our selection is on the Colorado Avalanche to defeat the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday at 7:37pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Colorado should be favored in a lot of games this season and for a good reason.

The Avalanche are loaded with superstar ability and can flip a game upside down in an instant.

They are led by Nathan MacKinnon/Cale Makar.

We also don't think that Winnipeg is as good as last season and might trade Hellebuyck at the trade deadline.

Even at home, we're anticipating the Jets to have trouble against the forward line of COL.

The play is on the Avalanche.

Play on: Padres -108 at betus
Game Analysis

Brewers vs Padres October 7, 2026

The Angle(s): The San Diego Padres stayed alive with a 4-3 win in Game 3 and now hand the ball to Walker Buehler (4.63 ERA), who is fresh after missing the start of the series on the paternity list. Buehler's ERA does not jump off the page, but the Padres went 10-3 in his second-half starts and he brings a strong October track record from his Dodgers days. Buehler is 2-1 with a 2.53 ERA in four career starts against Milwaukee. Every game in this series has been decided by one run, so getting the proven starter at home in a spot like this matters.

The Milwaukee Brewers have not named a starter as of the publication of this free pick, with Robert Gasser Shane Drohan and Chad Patrick the options, so this likely turns into a piecemeal game for them. With the Petco crowd behind them and the momentum flipped, we back the Padres to force a Game 5.

The Bet: Padres ML (3%). 

SIZZLING 6-1 (85%) RUN with College Football sides (ML+ATS)! 

36-20 since Sep 19, 2026 in All Sports!

Play on: Yankees -164 at circa
Game Analysis

The Yankees have a huge advantage on the mound. In his last postseason start, Max Fried allowed one earned run on three hits in six innings. The Yankees were 46-34 at home this season. Nick Martinez has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. The Yankees are at home, and if they can stop throwing the ball around like a bunch of little leaguers, I like Fried an the Yankees to extend the series.

WNBA | Aces vs Golden State Valkyries
Play on: Aces +1½ -105 at Bovada
Game Analysis

I'm comfortable playing the side and total together because the reasoning doesn't require Las Vegas to suddenly explode offensively.

The public imbalance has moderated from overnight but remains substantial: 76% of the 2,892 spread tickets are Golden State, leaving Las Vegas with only 24%.

Yet Golden State hasn't been rewarded with a significant market move. The opener was Golden State -1.5, while the market now ranges from roughly -0.5 to -1.5. That's particularly interesting given Golden State's extremely convincing Game 1 victory.

The Luck Factor also favors Las Vegas regression-wise: Golden State sits at +2.4 compared with Las Vegas +0.9, a 1.5-game gap toward Vegas.

Game 1 also contained an extreme statistic that I'm reluctant to project forward: Golden State won the offensive-rebounding battle 17-2 and dominated the overall rebounding battle. Vegas doesn't have to reverse that advantage completely; merely normalizing it materially changes the game.

Las Vegas has also been exceptionally difficult to beat in consecutive postseason games. The Aces are 8-1 following playoff losses since 2022 and went 11-3 following losses this season.

BET: LAS VEGAS +1.5
Play to: +1
