MLB | Phillies vs Marlins
Play on: Marlins +160 at YouWager
1* Free Sharp Play on Marlins +160
My money is on the Marlins to cash in here as a big division home dog to the Phillies. Miami's not a team you are going to want to back often, but I like this spot. There's no denying Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara has potential. He showed that in his first start of 2019, limiting the Rockies to 4 hits in 8 shutout innings. Very next start he gives up 2 runs on 4 hits and 5 walks in just 4 innings at Atlanta. If you believe in home/away splits, I think it's more than worth a shot at this price to see if Alcantara doesn't put up another strong outing at home. Bet the Marlins +160!

MLB | Orioles vs Red Sox
Play on: Orioles +252 at pinnacle
The Baltimore Orioles (5-8 Overall, 4-2 Away) are headed to Fenway Park and face the struggling Boston Red Sox (4-9 Overall, 1-1 Home).
The Orioles are fresh off a 8-5 home loss against the Oakland Athletics. Baltimore will give the ball to Davis Hess (1-1, 2.70 ERA).
Hess is 0-2 with a 11.25 ERA in his last two starts against the Red Sox. Boston hit .351 against him in those outings.
Hess is also 0-1 with a 3.64 ERA in his last start at Fenway Park. The Sox lineup crushed him, hitting .364 against him in Boston.
The Red Sox will give Eduardo Rodriguez (0-2, 12.38 ERA) the start. Rodriguez is 6-3 with a 3.62 ERA in his last 10 starts (12 outings) against the Orioles.
He has held Orioles lineups to a .245 average in those showings. Rodriguez has struggled at home though. He is 9-10, carrying a 4.56 ERA in his last 33 starts (37 showings) at Fenway.
Lineups are hitting .260 against Rodriguez in Boston.
Baltimore is hitting .265 against left hand pitching this year.
Boston has struggled hitting in Fenway. They are averaging .235 this year in their first two home games of the season.
Take the Orioles in this one. With how big the number is, the one is worth it.

MLB | A's vs Rangers
Play on: Rangers +104 at pinnacle
1 Unit FREE PLAY on Texas Rangers +104
The Texas Rangers had Thursday off and will have been home waiting for the A’s. The A’s are coming off a cross-country trip to Baltimore and flew home last night. I don’t think we get the best effort from the A’s here, while we should get a good effort from the Rangers, who are 4-2 (+4.6 units) at home this year. The A’s are 3-6 (-4 units) on the road. Mike Fiers just gave up 6 runs in 1 2/3 innings to the Astros in his last start. Fiers has a 5.64 ERA in eight previous starts against the Rangers. Drew Smyly is 1-0 with a 0.77 ERA in his last two starts against the A’s. Give me the Rangers.

MLB | Padres vs Diamondbacks
Play on: Padres -115 at pinnacle
Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on San Diego Padres -115 The Key: The Padres are improved in every aspect of the game from their rotation, to their lineup and their bullpen. It’s no surprise they are off to a 9-5 start this year. One of their young stars in the rotation is Chris Paddack, and he gets the ball tonight. Paddack sports a 1.04 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in his 2 starts this year. Luke Weaver sports a 6.75 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in his 2 starts for the Diamondbacks. Take San Diego.

MLB | Astros vs Mariners
Play on: Astros -140 at GTBets
1* Free MLB Pick on Houston Astros -140
We cashed in a winner on the Mariners yesterday, as they finished up a sweep of the Royals, improving them to 13-2 on the season. Yesterday's play on Seattle was easy, as they were playing with a ton of confidence against a bad Royals team that has lost 9 straight.
Sure the confidence is going to be there, but Houston is without a doubt the better team and you can bet the Astros will be out to send their division rivals a message this weekend. Keep in mind Houston is red-hot, they have won 6 straight and just pushed across 18 runs in their 3-game sweep of the Yankees.
Starting pitching also favors the Astros. They send out Wade Miley, who has a 2.31 ERA and 1.200 WHIP in 2 starts. Seattle will turn to Wade LeBlanc, who has a 4.77 ERA and 1.500 WHIP. Miley also owns a 2.89 ERA in 3 career starts against the Mariners, while LeBlanc owns a 5.65 ERA in 6 starts vs the Astros. Take Houston!

MLB | Astros vs Mariners
Play on: Astros -138 at 5Dimes
Jack’s Free Pick Friday: Houston Astros -138
After a slow start, the Houston Astros have gotten back to reality and won six straight games. They had yesterday off and will be fresh and ready to go Friday night for Game 1 of this series in Seattle.
The Mariners have been the surprise of the league, opening 13-2 this season. That’s not going to last. They had a big comeback win in extras over the Royals last night, so they won’t be fresh and will have had to fly back to Seattle from Kansas City.
Like many Astros pitchers before him, Wade Miley is resurrecting his career in Houston. He has been sharp, going 1-1 with a 2.31 ERA and 1.200 WHIP in two starts this season. Miley is also 2-1 with a 2.89 ERA and 1.285 WHIP in three career starts against Seattle.
Wade LeBlanc has a 4.77 ERA and 1.500 WHIP in two starts this season for Seattle, and he’s 1-1 with a 5.65 ERA and 1.535 WHIP in six career starts against Houston. The Astros are 7-1 in their last eight games following an off day. Houston is 19-7 in its last 26 trips to Seattle. Bet the Astros Friday.

MLB | Astros vs Mariners
Play on: Astros -137 at 5Dimes
My 1* Free Play is on the Houston Astros (10:10 EST).
I think this one sets up great for the red hot Astros. The Mariners return home after a 6-1 road trip, but they needed ten innings to win 7-6 at Kansas City just last night. Suffice it to say, I think they’ll predictably come out flat here in the first game back in front of the home town crowd.
The Astros have had a night off after sweeping the Yankees in a three-game set. Houston has now won six straight games and I believe it’ll keep the good times rolling in this favorable spot as well.
The Mariners hand the ball to Wade LeBlanc (2-0, 4.76 ERA), who is 1-1 with a ballooned 5.65 ERA in ten career appearances vs. the Astros.
Houston goes with Wade Miley (1-1, 2.31), who is 2-1 with a 2.89 ERA in three career starts vs. his former team.
At this price, I definitely think that Miley and the surging Astros are worth a second look in this particular match-up.
Good luck…Larry
