(#937) Cleveland Guardians | ML | . 

Daniel Espino (0-0, 4.11 ERA) vs. Sean Newcomb (2-5, 3.09 ERA) . 

Admittedly so, I did lose with the Guardians in Game 2. However, I don't see a world in which the Guardians get swept. I believe that Cleveland is still going to make this a series, even when playing on the road in an elimination game. Daniel Espino gets the nod & although he's a rookie and hasn't pitched much this season, I believe that he's going to be up for the challenge. 

CWS has taken a more bullpen approach in this postseason, not relying on pitchers to pitch far into games. While it's most definitely worked up until this point, it could start to catch up to them any moment. CLE hasn't been getting great hitting and that could start today. I'm going with the Guards. 

Burns' Prediction: 7-4 Cleveland.

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 6-3 in their last 9 games.

- The Padres are 4-2 in the last 6 head to head meetings.
  
- The Padres are 4-1 in their last 5 home games.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

My selection is on San Diego over Milwaukee at 9:30 pm et on Tuesday.

Games 1 and 2 of this series could have gone either way but the Padres return home down 0-2 and facing a must-win situation in Game 3 on Tuesday. San Diego starter Nick Pivetta missed most of the season due to injury but since returning, has been terrific, logging a 2.21 FIP and 1.01 WHIP in 34 2/3 innings of work. Remember, he went 13-5 with a 3.49 FIP and 0.99 WHIP and finished sixth in N.L. Cy Young Award voting in his first year with the Padres in 2025. Dustin May hasn't had nearly as strong of a run since joining the Brewers. He had a solid start to the campaign with the Cardinals but since joining Milwaukee has posted a 5.06 FIP and 1.42 WHIP in 36 2/3 innings pitched. As a pitcher that can struggle with his command, it's not surprising that he's had a more difficult time on the road this season, going 2-4 with a 5.88 ERA and 1.48 WHIP compared to a 3.94 ERA and 1.21 WHIP at home. Take San Diego.

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.

Marc David's NHL Free Pick

We really like favorite in this matchup. Vegas (2-1-0) has looked like the better team in all three of their games, even the one they lost. They handled Chicago 5-2, outshot Anaheim 30-20 in a 4-3 loss where they scored three times in the third, then went into Vancouver and won 3-2. With Eichel, Marner, Stone and Hertl up front, they are rolling two legitimate scoring lines, and the defense in front of Adin Hill has allowed just 20 shots in each of the last two games.

Seattle (2-1-0) has the same record, but both of their wins came against a Calgary team that is 0-3, by identical 6-1 scores. In their one game against a contender, they managed 20 shots and no even-strength goals in a 3-1 loss at Edmonton. 

Vegas is catching a Seattle team whose early numbers are inflated by the schedule. We'll lay the price with the better team.

Neither team has gotten off to a strong start. Florida is 1-0-2, while LA is 0-1-1. LA has allowed 6.5 goals per game, and their penalty killing has been terrible, killing off just 28.6% of penalties. Florida won both games over LA last season, winning 5-2 in LA. Even in their losses, the Panthers have played decently and have not lost by more than a goal.

Play on Florida. This is a FREE PLAY!

For my best free pick on the board here for Tuesday I am looking at the Milwaukee Brewers at the San Diego Padres. Brewers up 2 games to none and the best record in baseball should get a ton of betting attention here paying out plus money but my play will be on the home team here the Padres who are 51-30 this year playing at home. Nick Pivetta is a veteran I trust to get the job done here. Pivetta a 1.64 ERA over his last 5 starts granted they weren’t very deep but I think he goes 6 here on Tuesday then off to that bullpen.

Our top organic handicapper is on UNDER 7 and is willing to play it through -115.

Pivetta's recent report card makes the Under attractive. Since returning from the injured list, he has a 1.64 ERA in five starts. In September specifically, he allowed only three earned runs over 18.2 innings, then surrendered one run in 3.1 innings against Chicago in the Wild Card round.

May's overall recent numbers are poor, but his performance against this particular opponent has been dramatically better: a 1.23 ERA in three starts against San Diego this season.

The first two games of the series have produced five and seven runs, meaning neither has exceeded tonight's total. San Diego has scored only five runs in the series, while Milwaukee has scored seven.

Petco Park also gives the pitchers a more forgiving environment, and neither team should have any incentive to conserve its best relievers. San Diego faces elimination and Milwaukee can close out the series tonight.

The reason this stays a free play rather than joining the premium card is important: we have excellent organic support for the Under, but not the powerful high-unit total-system confirmation required to elevate it.

Play to: UNDER 7 -115.
