MLB | Red Sox vs Yankees
Play on: Red Sox +152 at 5Dimes

10* FREE MLB PICK (Red Sox +152)
I'll take my chances here with Boston avoiding the sweep and locking up their third straight division title. Not to mention the price here is exceptional for a team that has already eclipsed the 100-win mark. The offense has struggled of late for the Red Sox, but Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka has a mere 4.08 ERA in 17 career starts against Boston. He's faced them 3 times this season and in those 3 starts, he's allowed 11 runs on 21 hits (5 HRs) and 5 walks in just 15 innings of work. Boston counters with Eduardo Rodriguez, who has quietly been one of the better starters in the AL. Over his last 16 starts Rodriguez has a sensational 2.89 ERA and I look for hime to keep this high-powered Yankees offense in check. Give me the Red Sox +152!

MLB | Royals vs Tigers
Play on: Tigers -145 at sportsbook

The Royals opened their roadtrip by getting swept against the Pirates as all three games were decided by just one run including identical 2-1 losses the last two games. The dreadful season is almost over for Kansas City which has the second worst record in baseball at 52-100 including a 22-53 record on the road. This includes a 12-37 record in road games after scoring one run or less. The Tigers were also swept in their most recent series as the Twins took all three games to open the week which extended their home losing streak to seven games. This includes an 8-2 loss yesterday and Detroit has won 12 of 20 games this season after a loss by six or more runs. One of the pleasant parts of the rotation has been Matthew Boyd as he has quietly been pitching outstanding. He has a 4.08 ERA which seems average but it comes with a 1.09 WHIP which is tied for sixth best in the American League. He has been even better at home as he has a 2.44 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 13 starts and the Tigers are a perfect 8-0 in his eight home games when working on five or six days of rest. Meanwhile, the Royals are 0-6 in their last six road games against left-handed starters. Kansas City counters with Jorge Lopez who had a near perfect game through eight innings against Minnesota two starts back but regressed after that against the same Twins team. He actually got hurt in that last outing as he has to leave with a rib injury so he might be 100 percent healthy on top of it. Here, we play against underdogs after two straight losses by two runs or less going up against an opponent after a loss by six runs or more. This situation is 55-18 (75.3 percent) since 1997. Play (916) Detroit Tigers

MLB | White Sox vs Indians
Play on: White Sox +177 at YouWager

Dave’s Wednesday Free Play:
1* on Chicago White Sox +177
The Key: I like the big underdog price we are getting with the Chicago White Sox today. They led 1-0 in the 9th inning last night before giving up a grand slam and lost as +275 dogs. Well, Cleveland has nothing to play for right now as they’ve already wrapped up the division. They can’t be this heavily favored moving forward with their lack of motivation. Josh Tomlin certainly doesn’t deserve to be getting this much respect from oddsmakers. Tomlin is 0-3 with a 7.68 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in 7 starts this year. James Shield sports a 4.50 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in 31 starts this season. He is 5-8 with a. 3.79 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 22 lifetime starts against the Indians, including 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA in 2 starts against the Indians in 2018, yielding 3 earned runs in 14 innings. Take Chicago.

Play on: Royals +138 at GTBets

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Kansas City Royals +138
The Royals have played .500 ball over their last 10 games. They haven’t packed it in just yet. The same cannot be said for the Tigers, who are 2-8 in their last 10 games overall. And I like KC starter Jorge Lopez, who is 2-3 with a 4.64 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in six starts this season, including 1-1 with a 1.38 ERA and 0.77 WHIP in two road starts. Matt Boyd has never been able to figure out the Royals. Boyd is 3-7 with a 6.50 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 13 previous starts against Kansas City. Give me the Royals.

Play on: OVER 57 -109

1* Free Sharp Play on Tulsa vs Temple over 57 -109
My money is on the OVER 57 in Thursday's American Athletic showdown between the Temple Owls and Tulsa Golden Hurricane. The Owls finally got their offense going, as they put up 35 on Maryland in a massive road upset as a 16-point dog. Temple should have no problem here keeping the offense going against a Tulsa defense that can't stop the run. The Golden Hurricane gave up 241 on the ground to Texas and 214 last week in their upset loss at home to Arkansas State. The key here is that Tulsa does have a decent offense and should be able to move the ball against this Temple defense. Bet the OVER 57!

MLB | Phillies vs Braves
Play on: Phillies +137 at BetPhoenix

Jack’s Free Pick Thursday: Philadelphia Phillies +137
This series against Atlanta is Philadelphia’s final stand. The Phillies are 5.5 games back of the Braves in the NL East and really need to sweep this series. It starts with Game 1 tonight, and I like the value we are getting with them are road underdogs here.
Vince Velasquez has actually been at his best on the road this season. He has posted a 3.64 ERA and 1.298 WHIP in his 14 road starts this year. Velasquz gave up just one earned run in his last start against the Braves this season.
Kevin Gausman has been a mediocre starter this year in his time with the Orioles and Braves. He is 10-10 with a 3.92 ERA and 1.300 WHIP in 29 starts, including 1-1 with a 6.10 ERA in his last two starts. Gausman is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in one career start against the Phillies. That came back on July 12th as he allowed 5 earned runs and 13 base runners in 5 innings of a 5-4 loss.
The Braves have had zero home-field advantage here down the stretch. They are just 5-14 in their last 19 home games. Atlanta is 3-12 in its last 15 home games vs. a team with a winning record. Bet the Phillies Thursday.

free pick under- Both of these offenses have been weak this year. The Tigers have been decent against lefties, but terrible against right handed pitching. This is a pitcher-friendly park, and I think Boyd is a solid lefty. An ugly low scoring game as these two teams are just playing out the string. Bet the under.

Tulsa vs. Temple, 09/20/2018 19:30 EDT

Point Spread: +7½/-115 Tulsa

Sportsbook:
TopBet

Let's not forget this same Temple team lost to Villanova at home and Buffalo at home and just because they beat a Maryland team that got caught off guard after beating Texas and wiping out Bowling Green were supposed to lay over 7 with Temple.

Pretty big value here as I have this game as a field goad game either way. Temple at 1-2 I know it's hard for a team with that record to be looking ahead but they do have a showdown with Boston College a ranked team coming up on the road.

I see Temple sleep walking through this game and as Tulsa gave Texas a game on the road.

Tulsa is 15-5-1 ATS in its last 21 games on the road
Temple is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games at home
