Matt Fargo
This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS for our Wednesday Free Play. Seattle has won 10 straight games to overtake Houston in the American League West by a half-game. The offense has been getting it done with offense and pitching and while the run has been solid, it has mostly been at home and the Mariners are six games under .500 on the road. Overall, Seattle is just 33-37 when the number is between +125 and -125. Bryce Miller has not been close to 100 percent as he started slow and went on the IL with elbow inflammation and was out for over two months and his return has not been good. He has a 5.33 ERA in five starts and in eight road starts overall, he has a 5.58 ERA. Kansas City will not be going back to the postseason as it has dropped seven of its last nine games to fall one game under .500 and the Royals are 7.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot. They are coming off a 10-5 loss to open the homestand where they are 40-36 with five games left here to play spoiler with two against Seattle and three against Toronto. Cole Ragans is back for his first start since June 5 after a long IL stint and he made a couple solid rehab starts. He will not be fully stretched out, limited to 70-80 pitches but he is a solid arm to bring back for a couple season ending starts. Play (924) Kansas City Royals
+$47,800 MLB Run. Fargo was 1-2 Tuesday with the win on the +140 Athletics he is 74-70 with underdogs over the last 55 days and we continue the RED HOT run Tuesday. THREE Winners tonight as he goes for a 3-0 SWEEP!

Doug Upstone
Free Play – Take #921 Toronto -124 over Tampa Bay (7:05 p.m. ET, Wednesday, Sept. 17)
With just 11 games to play, Toronto holds a five-game lead over the Yankees to become the surprise champs of the AL East. The Blue Jays have the #4 offense in baseball and have rattled off six straight victories. Toronto also has a four-game lead to be the top seed in the AL for the playoffs. Tampa Bay was a wild card contender, but losing 9 of 11 has taken care of that. The Rays are #14 in offense and will have to deal with Kevin Gausman (10-10, 3.44 ERA), whose ERA has fallen more than a run in the last three months. Gausman has been an ironman by today’s standards, with five of his last seven starts lasting seven innings. For this AL East counter, Tampa Bay fell 2-1 in extra innings Tuesday, and home teams like the Rays, who average 4.4 to 4.9 RPG, against a good starter whose ERA of 3.50 or lower, after a one-run loss, are just 13-35.
Doug Upstone is on an 81-48 MLB run having won 5 of 7. Over the long haul, Upstone has made a profit of over $3,200 with a record of 289-214 in all sports!

Ricky Tran
Ricky's 1* play on BOS.
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 Red Sox are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
- Lucas Giolito has won 3 of his last 5 starts for the Red Sox.
- Lucas Giolito is 5-2 in his last 7 home starts for the Red Sox.
Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: New York Yankees -145
The New York Yankees are now 10-2 in their last 12 meetings with the Twins. The Twins are 4-11 in their last 15 games overall, eliminated from playoff contention, and just ready for their season to be over. The Yankees have a lot more to play for right now trying to lock up a playoff spot.
The Yankees have a big advantage on the mound tonight behind Luis Gil, who is 3-0 with a 1.65 ERA in his last five starts while allowing just 5 earned runs and one homer in 27 1/3 innings. Gil fired 6 shutout innings in a 5-1 victory over the Twins in his last start against them.
Taj Bradley is 6-7 with a 4.88 ERA in 25 starts this season. Bradley is 0-1 with a 7.43 ERA in his last five starts, allowing 19 earned runs in 23 innings. He has allowed 8 earned runs and 20 base runners in 10 2/3 innings in two starts against New York in 2025. Bet the Yankees Wednesday.

The MLB Comp play is on the NY. Mets at 7:10 eastern. The Mets have won the last 2 after the 8 game losing streak and tonight they are in a nice September system that plays on home teams off back to back home wins and a prior home loss in the second game of a series if they scored 7 or more runs last night, have a winning record and are taking on a .600 or less opponent if the total is less than 8. These home teams have won 7 of 8 since 2004. The pitching is close here with Peterson and Pivetta but the Mets are getting hot right now and we will back them here tonight. GL Rob V-

Wednesday MLB Free play. My selection is on Kansas City over Seattle at 7:40 pm et on Wednesday.
The Mariners offense exploded last night to secure their 10th straight victory. We'll call for that streak to come to an end on Wednesday as Seattle sends Bryce Miller to the hill against Cole Ragans of the Royals. Ragans will be making his first big league start since June due to injury. He did look good in a rehab start at Triple-A Omaha, striking out seven batters over 3 2/3 innings of one-hit, shutout ball. I expect the Royals offense to back him up on Wednesday as they face Miller, who has allowed four earned runs or more in four of his last six starts, lasting six innings only once over that stretch. While the Mariners bats have been hot, the Royals have held their own at the plate lately as well, ranking in the top half of the majors in both weighted on base average and isolated power over the last week. Take Kansas City.
