Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Arizona Diamondbacks -137
The Arizona Diamondbacks have big advantages on the mound and at the plate over the Colorado Rockies today. The Diamondbacks won Game 1 by a final of 9-1 on Friday finishing with 13 hits compared to just 4 for the Rockies. It should be more of the same in Game 2 Saturday.
The Rockies have scored 3 runs or fewer in five of their last six games overall. It won't get any easier for them against Eduardo Rodriquez, who is 4-0 with a 2.25 ERA in eight starts this season while allowing just 12 earned runs in 48 innings.
Rodriquez held the Rockies to just one earned run in 7 innings of an 8-2 victory in his last start against them, which was at Coors Field. He is 3-0 with a 2.95 ERA in three career starts at Coors Field. The Diamondbacks are also 6-0 in Rodriquez's six career starts against Colorado.
Tomoyuki Sugano is 3-3 with a 4.07 ERA in eight starts for the Rockies this season allowing 19 earned runs and 9 homers in 42 innings. He is 2-2 with a 4.71 ERA in four starts at Coors Field this season. Bet the Diamondbacks Saturday.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SATURDAY, 5/16:
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 Saturday morning is with Under the Total in the finals of the FA Cup between Manchester City and Chelsea. This match is being played on a neutral pitch at Wembley Stadium in London. Three of the last five FA Cups at Wembley Stadium finished Under 2.5 goals — and none of those previous ten English sides did not score more than two goals. Chelsea will likely rely on defensive tactics and patiently rely on their scoring opportunities from counter-attacks. Since Chelsea’s under-21 manager Calum McFarlane took over late last month as the interim manager after Liam Resenior was fired after a mere 107 days on the job, the Blues have engaged in more cautious tactics. Two of their three matches finished Under 2.5 combined goals — and the three goals they surrendered to Nottingham Forest in that two goal loss came from just 0.78 expected goals (xG). Chelsea held Liverpool to only 1.00 xG last Saturday in their 1-1 draw on the road in their most recent match. Man City has registered two straight clean sheets after their 3-0 win against Crystal Palace in the English Premier League on Wednesday. In their last nine matches across all competitions, the Sky Blues have given up only five combined goals. Take the Under. Best of luck — Frank.
Frank Sawyer’s Hollywood Sports is on a 21 of 34 (62%) Soccer run — and Frank has CA$HED 14 of his last 23 (61%) Soccer Match of the Year plays! The FA Cup Finals on ESPN2 at 10:00 AM ET Saturday morning features Man City and Chelsea from the English Premier League — and Frank is on a 93 of 151 (62%) English Premier League run with a 7 of 11 (64%) EPL Match of the Year/Month mark! It's Frank's 25* FA Cup Match of the Year -- DO NOT MISS OUT!

Dave's Saturday Free Play:
1* on Tampa Bay Rays -135
The Key: The Tampa Bay Rays are one of the best teams in baseball. They have gone 17-3 in their last 20 games overall while yielding 3 runs or fewer in 16 of those 20 contests. Nick Martinez is a big reason why, going 4-1 with a 1.70 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 8 starts for the Rays this year. Sandy Alcantara is 3-2 with a 4.06 ERA in 9 starts for the Marlins, but 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA in 3 road starts. Alcantara has yielded 8 ER in 10 2/3 innings in his last 2 starts against the Rays. Take Tampa Bay.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on San Francisco Giants +120
The San Francisco Giants lost Game 1 yesterday. I expect them to bounce back against the A's in Game 2 today. Trevor McDonald has been awesome in the big leagues with a 2.08 ERA and 0.96 WHIP giving up only 7 earned runs in 30 1/3 innings. Two of those starts came against the Dodgers. Luis Severino is 2-4 with a 4.07 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in nine starts this season. Severino is 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA in three home starts. He has been terrible at home with the A's since moving to Sutter Health Park last season. Severino gave up 5 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of a 7-2 loss to the Giants in his last start against them at home last season. Give me the Giants.
