Play on: Phillies +101 at pinnacle

Dave’s Thursday Free Play:
1* on Philadelphia Phillies +101
The Key: We are getting the Phillies at a great price as home underdogs to the Pittsburgh Pirates Thursday night. Getting Jake Arrieta was a nice move for the Phillies this offseason. He has gone 1-0 with a 3.37 ERA in his two starts. And Arrieta faces a team he has dominated in the past tonight. He is 11-6 with a 2.96 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 21 lifetime starts vs. Pittsburgh. Arrieta is 43-13 after giving up 2 or fewer earned runs in his last 2 outings coming in. The Phillies are 6-1 in their last 7 home games. Take Philadelphia.

NBA | Warriors vs Spurs
Play on: Spurs +3½ -105 at Bovada

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NBA Game #528 Thursday Free Pick San Antonio Spurs (+) vs Golden State Warriors @ 9:35 ET - With the Spurs losing each of the first two games at Golden State and failing to cover, it means that the home team is now 18-1 in San Antonio's last 19 games! That's right, starting with a March 10th ATS loss at Oklahoma City, the Spurs have seen the home team get the money in 95% of their games the past six weeks! Look for that trend to continue here as San Antonio bounces back on their home floor. The Spurs have won 11 in a row SU at home but I am recommending grabbing the points here in case they fall just a bucket short in this one. However, I am expecting the Spurs to get back into this series with an outright win Thursday. Free Pick SAN ANTONIO

NBA | Blazers vs Pelicans
Play on: UNDER 216 -105

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Pelicans/Blazers UNDER 216
The clear value play is with the UNDER 216 in Game 3 between the Pelicans and Blazers. They only combined for 192 points in Game 1 and then 213 in Game 2 as both teams shot much better from the field. They aren’t likely to shoot that well again, making the UNDER a great play. Six of the last eight meetings have seen 213 or fewer combined points with the UNDER going 5-2-1 in those eight games. The UNDER is 6-0 in Blazers last six vs. a team with a winning record. The UNDER is 5-0 in Pelicans last five home games vs. a team with a winning record. The UNDER is 9-2-1 in Pelicans last 12 vs. a team with a winning record overall. Give me the UNDER.

MLB | Marlins vs Brewers
Play on: Brewers -1½ +110 at pinnacle

10* FREE MLB PICK (Brewers -1.5, +110)
I'll take my chances here with Milwaukee on the run line Thursday against the Marlins. The Brewers won the final 2 games of their 3-game home series against division rival Cincinnati, but are still just 4-6 at home. With a bad Miami team coming to town, the Brewers have to be thinking sweep and it starts with a comfortable win in the series opener behind one of their best starters.
Milwaukee will send out Chase Anderson who has posted a 2.82 ERA and 0.985 WHIP over his first 4 starts. It's right on pace with his breakout campaign in 2017, where he went 12-4 with a 2.74 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 25 starts. He'll be up against a Marlins offense that is hitting just .198 as a team on the road.
Anderson should also get plenty of run support, as Miami counters with Dillon Peters, who has really struggled in his 3 big league road starts. In those 3 outings, Peters has allowed 16 runs on 21 hits and 10 walks in 12 2/3 innings of work. Peters lone start against the Brewers came at home last year, where he allowed 8 runs on 9 hits and 3 walks in 3 2/3 innings. Give me Milwaukee -1.5 (+110)!
