MLB | CLE vs PIT
Play on: UNDER 7½ -101
Thursday MLB Free play. My selection is on the 'under' between Cleveland and Pittsburgh at 7:05 pm et on Thursday.
Playing the 'under' in a Shane Bieber start is certainly not much of a stretch as he's been lights out so far this season, and going back to last year as well. Bieber's strikeouts per nine innings are way up while his walks, home runs and hits allowed are all down compared to last season, which is really saying something when you consider he was an All-Star and finished fourth in A.L. Cy Young voting. Trevor Williams will counter for Pittsburgh. Like Bieber, he has also improved on his numbers from a year ago. Williams has posted a respectable 3.98 ERA and 1.23 WHIP through four starts. He'll be facing an Indians club that entered last night's action ranked tied for 27th in runs per game and 30th in team batting average. Take the under (8*).

MLB | Brewers vs Twins
Play on: Brewers +109 at pinnacle
Jack’s Free Pick Thursday: Milwaukee Brewers +109
The Milwaukee Brewers have gotten their offense going in scoring at least 6 runs in three of their last four games coming in, including their 9-3 victory over the Twins yesterday. Look for them to stay hot at the plate against the struggling Jose Berrios tonight.
Berrios has been a huge disappointment for the Twins. He is 1-3 with a 5.92 ERA and 1.644 WHIP in five starts this season. And it’s not like he has faced the best lineups as he has been up against the Royals (twice), Pirates, Indians and White Sox.
Brandon Woodruff had a great season last year in Milwaukee and has carried that over into 2020. He is 1-1 with a 3.16 ERA and 1.052 WHIP in five starts with 30 K’s in 25 2/3 innings. That includes 1-1 with a 2.87 ERA and 0.830 WHIP in three road starts.
Woodruff is 21-7 (+12.8 Units) against the money line in all games over the last two seasons. Woodruff is an even better 16-2 (+13.9 Units) when the total is 8.5 to 10 over the last two years. Bet the Brewers Thursday.

MLB | Dodgers vs Mariners
Play on: Dodgers -1½ -150 at Mirage
My free play (run-line) is on the LA Dodgers at 7:10 ET.
The Dodgers and Mariners play tonight in Seattle, wrapping up a four-game, home and home series. The Dodgers won Monday and Tuesday in LA but the Mariners won 6-4 last night in Seattle. However, while LA is 18-8 on the season with the NL's best record (lead the NL West by four games), Seattle is the reverse of that (8-18) and sits in last-place in the AL West (9 1/2 games back of the first-place A's). Tonight's pitching matchup is a "mismatch," with Clayton Kershaw (2-1, 2.65 ERA) squaring off against Yusei Kikuchi (0-1, 5.28 ERA). It's said that Kershaw has lost some speed off his fastball but he's looked just fine in his three starts (0.82 WHIP / 18-3 KW ratio / .180 BAA) and is 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA in three career starts vs Seattle. As for Kikuchi, he was 6-11 with a 5.46 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and .295 BAA as a rookie in 2019. He gets set for his fourth start of 2020 with a 5.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and .250 BAA. Is he making progress? I'm laying the 1 1/2 runs. Good luck...Larry

Soccer | Philadelphia vs New England
Play on: Philadelphia 0½ -130 at Mirage
** Thursday Featured Free Play **
The MLS Comp play is on Philadelphia at 7:30 Eastern. This is one of our MLS is back again plays tonight. Many will be all over the right back revenge factor here for New England who was eliminated by Philly in the MLS Tournament. Philly then lost to champion Portland in a close game. The last time these two played New England controlled the play with more shots, corners and crosses but Philly has a big goalie edge and should play better here. They are 4-0 and 1 draw in the series o we will back the road dog here tonight. For the MLS Free play. Go with Philadelphia. RV- GC Sports

MLB | Red Sox vs Orioles
Play on: Red Sox -134 at 5Dimes
Dave’s Thursday Free Play:
1* on Boston Red Sox -134 The Key: The Boston Red Sox finally ended their 9-game losing streak with a 6-3 victory over the Phillies yesterday. They went through the gauntlet with the Rays, Yankees and Phillies during this skid. Now they take a step down in class here against the Orioles and should be able to handle their business in Game 1. The Orioles have lost 4 straight coming in. Nathan Eovaldi beat the Orioles on August 24 by yielding only one earned run in 6 innings of a 13-2 victory. The Red Sox are 25-9 in their last 34 games as road favorites. The Orioles are 25-59 in their last 84 games as home underdogs. Baltimore is 23-70 in its last 93 during Game 1 of a series. The Red Sox are 32-12 in the last 44 matchups. Take Boston.
