MLB | Nationals vs Braves
Play on: Braves -1½ -130 at Mirage

PICK - Atlanta Braves -1.5 (-130)
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 918
I actually think we are getting a bit of a steal here with Atlanta at -130 on the -1.5 run line. These two teams just played a double-header on Friday and I just have to think the Nationals are running on fumes right now.
Washington has been on the road since 8/28 without a day off (Atlanta had Thursday off). Nationals are also much more likely to have to go to their bullpen early in this one.
Washington will be sending out Erick Fedde, who has a 6.38 ERA and 1.418 WHIP in 4 starts. Fedde is only averaging 4 2/3 innings per start and in his only career start vs Atlanta he allowed 9 runs in 3 2/3 innings.
The Braves will turn to Max Fried, who has been better than expected so far in 2020. Fried is 6-0 with a 1.60 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 8 starts. Atlanta has outscored their opponents 46-12 (+34) in those 8 starts. Give me the Braves -1.5 (-130)!

MLB | Brewers vs Indians
Play on: Indians -113 at 5Dimes

Jack’s Free Pick Saturday: Cleveland Indians -113
The Cleveland Indians (23-15) are showing great value today as short home favorites over the Milwaukee Brewers. This is a Cleveland team that is in an intense battle with the White Sox and Twins for 1st place in the AL Central right now with a lot to play for.
Getting Aaron Civale at this price is certainly a nice proposition. Civale is 3-4 with a 3.72 ERA and 1.109 WHIP in seven starts this season. He has 43 K’s against only 6 walks in 46 innings and is averaging 6.6 innings per start.
Brandon Woodruff has been distracted with the recent birth of his daughter on Monday. The Pirates tagged him for four runs and two homers in five innings of a 1-5 loss for the Brewers as -265 favorites on August 30th in his last outing.
The Indians are 50-19 in their last 69 vs. a team with a losing record. Cleveland is 63-28 in its last 91 games as a favorite. Bet the Indians Saturday.

NCAA-F | Arkansas State vs Memphis
Play on: Memphis -18½ -115 at betonline

My free play is on Memphis at 8:00 ET.
Arkansas St and Memphis open their respective 2020 seasons with a familiar opponent, as the schools have met 57 times in the past (Memphis owns a 29-23-5 series lead). Arkansas St is led by head coach Blake Anderson, who came to Jonesboro for the start of the 2014 season and has led the Red Wolves to eight-plus wins in FOUR of his six years, including SIX bowl berths (just 2-4). 2019 was particularly trying one for the program, as during the season Anderson's wife (Wendy) lost her two-year battle with breast cancer. On the playing field, starting QB Logan Bonner had a 10-1 TD/INT ratio through four games but a hand injury sidelined him the rest of the season. Alabama transfer Layne Hatcher stepped in and threw for 2,946 yards with a 27-10 TD/INT ratio, earning SBC Freshman of the Year honors. Both QBs are healthy heading into 2020.However, the SBC Player of the Year, WR Omar Bayless (93 catches for 1,653 yards with 17 TDs) is gone, as is fellow WR Kirk Merritt (70 catches / 12 TDs). Leading rusher Murray is back but he ran for a modest 820 yards (4.8 YPC) for a team that averaged only 127.2 YPG 0on 3.6 YPC. The defense struggled all season, finishing in the bottom 10 nationally in allowing 3478.3 YPG, while allowing 34.2 PPG.
Over on the Memphis side, the Tigers lost head coach Mike Norvell to Florida St, right after Memphis won the AAC championship game. That victory gave the Tigers a 12-1 record and earned the school its first-ever New Year's Six bowl berth (lost 53-39 to Penn St). Taking over for Norvell is Ryan Silverfield, whose l-only game as a head coach was last year's Cotton Bowl. So far, he gets credit for keeping QB Brady White and WR Demonte Coxie at Memphis. White threw for 4,014 yards (454 vs Penn St in the Cotton Bowl), becoming only the second Memphis QB to do so. He had 33 TDs and only 11 TDs, with Coxie as his main target )76 catches / 1,276 yards / 9 TDs). RB Kenneth Gainwell had 1,459 rushing yards (6.3 YPC / 13 TDs) as a freshman plus added 51 catches for 610 yards with three more TDs. However, Gainwell surprised the school by recently opting-out of the season (COVID-19 strikes again). DC Adam Fuller left for FSU with Norvell but Silverfield was able to bring in Mike MacIntyre as his DC. MacIntyre had success at both San Jose St and Colorado as a head coach (won National Coach of the Year at Colorado in 201^) and the defense returns SEVEN starters. Memphis did a good job at forcing TOs last season but gave up too many "big plays."
I would have made a bigger play on Memphis if Gainwell had not opted-out but I will still lay the points with a team that went 7-0 SU at home last season, while averaging 38.4 PPG. Note that Memphis has been to THREE straight ACC championship games and has gone 20-2 SU at the Liberty Bowl (home stadium) from 2017-19. It's expected that Memphis plans to allow a limited number of fans into the stadium and any 'extra support' can't be a bad thing. Lay the points.
Good luck...Larry

NBA | Nuggets vs Clippers
Play on: Nuggets +9½ -105 at pinnacle

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Denver Nuggets +9.5
The Denver Nuggets had a poor showing in Game 1 for obvious reasons. They had just finished a grueling 7-game series with the Jazz in which they won the final three games in dramatic fashion to come back from a 3-1 deficit. It’s no surprise they came out flat in Game 1 of this series. They shot just 42.2% as a team and gave up 57.1% shooting to the Clippers in a terrible performance on both ends of a 97-120 loss. They’ll come back with a much better effort in Game 2 and should stay within this 9.5-point spread if not pull the upset. The Nuggets are 15-7-2 ATS in their last 24 games following a loss. Give me the Nuggets.

MLB | Rangers vs Mariners
Play on: Rangers +120 at sportsbook

RANGERS VS MARINERS FREE PICK SEPTEMBER 5, 2020
The Texas Rangers have lost three in a row and 15 of their last 18. I still think we're getting good value on the Rangers in this matchup as right-hander Kyle Gibson (1-4, 6.16 ERA) owns decent career numbers against the Mariners. Seattle left-hander Justus Sheffield (2-3, 4.75 ERA) held Texas to one run on six hits in six innings last month, but the Mariners' bullpen with its ugly 6.36 ERA is too unreliable to warrant this kind of price.
Free pick on Texas Rangers.
