MLB | Rays vs Blue Jays
Play on: Rays -112 at GTBets
Jack’s Free Pick Friday: Tampa Bay Rays -112
The Tampa Bay Rays have a big advantage on the mound tonight over the Toronto Blue Jays. As a result, we’ll back the Rays at basically even money tonight in what is a great value for them.
Blake Snell is 12-5 with a 2.27 ERA and 1.073 WHIP in 21 starts this season. He just recently returned from nearly a month off and should be much sharper in his second start back from injury.
Marco Estrada is 5-8 with a 4.65 ERA in 19 starts for the Blue Jays this season. Estrada does not enjoy facing the Rays, going 1-7 with a 4.97 ERA and 1.358 WHIP in 11 career starts against them. In his last two home starts against the Rays, Estrada is 0-2 with a 14.08 ERA, allowing 12 earned runs and 26 base runners in 7 2/3 innings.
Snell is 8-1 (+7.7 units) against the money line when working on 5 or 6 days’ rest this season. The Blue Jays are 2-8 in Estrada’s last 10 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Toronto is 1-5 in its last six home games. Bet the Rays Friday.

MLB | Indians vs White Sox
Play on: White Sox +135 at MyBookie
Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on Chicago White Sox +135 The Key: I like the price we are getting on the White Sox today as home underdogs to the Cleveland Indians considering they actually have a big edge on the mound Friday. I also like that the White Sox had Thursday off, while the Indians played the Twins yesterday. Carlos Rodon has been a big bright spot for the White Sox this year. He is 3-3 with a 2.94 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 10 starts, including 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in 4 home starts. Shane Bieber is 6-2 with a 4.58 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 10 starts for the Indians, including 1-1 with a 7.90 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in his last 3 outings. Rodon is 4-2 with a 2.55 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 11 lifetime starts vs. Cleveland as well. Rodon is 18-9 (+16.7 units) as an underdog of +125 to +175 in his career. Take Chicago.

Any home money line underdog (White Sox) of +100 or greater possessing a team batting average of .260 or worse, and they have a starting pitcher averaging 5 or more strikeouts per start, versus an American League starting pitcher with an ERA of 4.20 to 4.70, resulted in those home underdogs going 28-11 (71.8%) since 1997. Bet on the White Sox for my Friday 8/10 MLB free pick of the day.

MLB | A's vs Angels
Play on: A's -114 at betonline
Free MLB Baseball Prediction From Doc’s Sports : Take Oakland over Los Angeles Angels (8 p.m., Friday, Aug. 10)
The A's are one of the hottest teams in baseball. They have won six straight games and are 14-2 in their last 16 home games. Oakland is 36-15 in their last 51 games overall, and this team is making a big push toward the playoffs. Edwin Jackson is scheduled to go on Friday. He will be pitching on extra rest. Jackson has been a revelation for Oakland. He has a 2.87 ERA and is coming off a great start against Detroit. Jackson has won six of his eight starts and three in a row, and I think he will be able to shut down an Angels lineup that will likely be without Mike Trout again. The Angels are likely going with Felix Pena. He has a 5.00 ERA on the season and has lost four straight starts. Oakland's lineup has been outstanding. They are No. 7 in the league in runs per game and No. 5 in home runs. I think they will get to Pena here. And Oakland will pick up another win.

MLB | Indians vs White Sox
Play on: Indians -140 at 5Dimes
My free play is on the Cle Indians at 8:10 ET. The Cleveland Indians are 64-50 after consecutive walk-off wins over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday and Thursday. Michael Brantley delivered a walk-off single in Cleveland's 5-4 victory Thursday, which came less than 24 hours after Francisco Lindor's three-run HR in the bottom of the ninth delivered a 5-2 win. With no other AL Central team playing .500 or better baseball, the Indians have opened an 11-game lead over Minnesota in the division. Winners of five of their last six, the Indians will open a six-game road trip with the first of three at the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. The White Sox were just swept by the Yankees in a three-game home series (ending Wednesday) and at 41-73, own a better record than only the 35-79 Royals and 35-80 Orioles among all teams in 2018.
Shane Bieber (6-2, 4.58 ERA) will get the ball for Cleveland and he has bounced back nicely from the worst start of his career at Pittsburgh on July 24, allowing seven ERs in just 1 2/3 innings. He settled for a no-decision in a quality start at Minnesota on July 30 (Indians did lose, 5-4), before beating the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 with 5 2/3 innings of two-run ball on Sunday. He has failed to pitch fewer than 5 2/3 innings just once in 10 starts and has never walked more than two batters in any start. Lefty Carlos Rodon (3-3, 2.94 ERA) goes for Chicago. Despite his sub-3.00 ERA, Rodon has just three wins in 10 starts, with the White Sox going 4-6. He owns five consecutive quality starts, a span in which he is 2-0 and has permitted six ERs over 34 2/3 innings for a 1.56 ERA (team is a modest 3-3). Rodon is 4-2 with a 2.71 ERA in 2 career appearances (11 starts) against Cleveland.
Bieber has notched seven strikeouts in back-to-back starts and in three of his last five outings. He has struck out 58 batters in 57 innings on the season and this marks his first career appearance against the White Sox. Rodon has a solid career mark vs the Indians but he is but he is 0-1 with a 4.76 ERA in two starts versus Cleveland this year (White Sox are 0-2). .
Cleveland has won eight of its last 10 games against the White Sox this season, running up a whopping run differential of 61-to-25. Considering that Chicago is just Chicago is 21-36 at home, I'll take the Indians.
Good luck...Larry

NFLX | Falcons vs Jets
Play on: UNDER 37 -105
Take Under the Total in the game between the Atlanta Falcons and the New York Jets. New York (0-0) held their four preseason opponents to just 15.2 PPG along with only 271.5 total YPG last year. The Jets have also played 5 of their last 6 preseason games at home Under the Total in the Todd Bowles era. Atlanta (0-0) has played 5 of their last 6 preseason games Under the Total under Dan Quinn’s guidance since he became their head coach. Take the Under. Best of luck — Frank.

MLB | Twins vs Tigers
Play on: Tigers -101 at 5Dimes
1 Unit FREE PLAY on Detroit Tigers -101
I like the fact that the Tigers had Thursday off while the Twins concluded their 4-game series with the Indians yesterday. The Twins lost that series 3-1 and certainly won’t be feeling too good about themselves after losing a critical series. The Tigers are a solid 29-27 (+10.2 units) at home this year. Jordan Zimmerman has handled his business on his home field, going 2-1 with a 3.67 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in six home starts this year. Ervin Santana is trying to work his way back from injury. He has made just three starts this season, and it has not gone well as Santana is 0-0 with a 6.14 ERA and 1.64 WHIP while allowing 10 runs and 4 homers in 14 2/3 innings. The Twins are 17-35 in their last 52 road games. Give me the Tigers.

MLB | Rangers vs Yankees
Play on: Yankees -1½ -110 at 5Dimes
10* FREE MLB PICK (Yankees -1.5, -110)
I'll take my chances here with New York on the -1.5 run line at home against the Rangers on Friday. The Yankees won the series opener 7-3 on Thursday and are riding a red-hot 4-game winning streak where they have outscored their opponents 25-9. Hard to not like New York to win here by at least 2 runs with the way they are swinging the bat and Masahiro Tanaka on the mound. Tanaka is 9-2 with a 3.85 ERA in 18 starts overall and hasn't lost a start in 14 outings. He's got a 0.46 ERA and 0.813 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Mike Minor will take the mound for Texas and he's got an ugly 6.50 ERA and 1.376 WHIP in 9 road starts. Yankees are 15-2 in Tanaka's last 17 starts in the 2nd half of the season and have won these starts by 3.1 runs/game (5.1 - 2.0). Give me the Yankees -1.5 (-110)!

MLB | Mets vs Marlins
Play on: Mets -115 at 5Dimes
DMack's Free Play for Friday, August 10, 2018 on the NY Mets (Wheeler Listed)
With matchups between bad teams where you have an edge, sometime you just have to hold your nose and pull the trigger. The Mets are fortunate that they unload Zac Wheeler for prospects. He's 4-0 with a 1.95 ERA in his L4 starts. Miami has lost 7 of 8 and there is not much in the way of light at the end of the tunnel that is not a train. Urena has pitched better than his 3-11 W/L but the Fish are still just 6-16 in his 22 starts. Mets are 15 cents is pretty attractive.

MLB | Red Sox vs Orioles
Play on: Orioles +180 at YouWager
1* Free Sharp Play on Orioles +180
My money is on the Orioles as a massive home dog against the Red Sox on Friday. Boston had their 6-game winning streak snapped in yesterday's 8-5 loss at Toronto and I think we could see the Red Sox come out a bit flat here against one of the worst teams in baseball. Even though Baltimore has had a miserable 2018 season and have nothing to play for down the stretch, I expect their best effort here against what most consider the best team in baseball. The biggest thing is the Orioles have one of their top starters in Dylan Bundy on the mound, who is coming off back-to-back strong starts. Bundy was also sensational in his previous start against the Red Sox back on June 11th, allowing just 3 hits over 8 shutout innings. Eovaldi has been great in his first two starts with Boston, but both of those were at home. He's just 2-4 with a 5.17 ERA when pitching in an opponents park this season. Bet the Orioles +180!
Fp: Red Sox top offensive team in the league this year shld have no problem scoring Vs the weak pitching and defending of the orioles, making the over my mlb free pick !
