MLB | Tigers vs Indians
Play on: Tigers +130 at William Hill

ASA FREE PLAY ON Detroit Money Line +130 over Cleveland, Friday at 7:10 PM ET - The Tigers have won 6 of 9 games as they enter this new series with Cleveland. The Indians have lost 3 straight games and 11 of 16 overall. Cleveland is 0-3 in Cal Quantrill's last 3 starts. Perhaps he has deserved better but this is also an indictment of just how bad this Indians team is right now. Matt Manning has a 3.78 ERA in his last 3 starts overall and the underdog price here is the tipping point for making the Tigers absolutely worth a look in this one. Indians averaging 2.8 runs a game last 5 games. Tigers averaging 5.8 runs last ten games. It is not just about the starting pitching in terms of picking winners in baseball. Look for the hotter team to get the upset in this one. We’ll back Detroit to get the win on Friday night.

MLB | Pirates vs Reds
Play on: Reds -1½ -102 at pinnacle

1* MLB - Pirates/Reds FREE PICK on Reds -1.5, -102
**60% Free Pick Run Since July 1st**
Friday's Free MLB Pick is on the Cincinnati Reds on the -1.5 run line at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates. We cashed the Reds -1.5 with our free pick last night, as they went on to win 7-4. I like Cincinnati for a lot of the same reasons in this one. The Reds offense is putting up runs in bunches, as they have now scored 5 or more in 12 of their last 13 games. Pittsburgh's J.T. Brubaker is 1-6 with a 5.26 ERA in 10 road starts, so it's hard to see him being the one that slows this offense down. On the flip side, Cincinnati has Wade Miley on the mound, who has a 2.92 ERA in 19 starts. Bet the Reds -1.5, -102!

MLB | Nationals vs Braves
Play on: Braves -1½ +100 at SC Consensus

Dave's Friday Free Play:
1* on Atlanta Braves -1.5 (+100)
The Key: The Atlanta Braves have won 3 straight and 4 of their last 5 coming in while outscoring opponents 30-12 in those 5 contests. Now they take on the struggling Washington Nationals, who have lost 4 straight and just traded away several of their best players to show that they are packing it in. The Braves have a big edge on the rubber tonight that should have them winning by 2 runs or more. Kyle Muller sports a 1.88 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 6 starts this year for the Braves. Erick Fedde is 4-7 with a 5.01 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 17 starts this year for the Nationals, and 2-3 with a 5.09 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 8 road starts. Fedde has never beaten the Braves, going 0-3 with an 11.84 ERA and 2.58 WHIP in 5 lifetime starts against them. He has yielded 10 earned runs in 6 2/3 innings in 2 starts against the Braves in 2021. Take Atlanta on the Run Line.

MLB | Royals vs Cardinals
Play on: Cardinals -152 at SC Consensus

FREE PICK - St Louis Cardinals -152
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 978
I got no problem laying the -152 at home with the Cardinals on Friday, as they get ready to open up a 3-game series against the Royals. Definitely a big bounce back spot for St Louis after just getting swept in a 3-game series at home against the Braves. KC on the other hand could be in for a bit of a letdown after just taking 2 of 3 on the road against division leader White Sox.
The biggest thing here is the starting pitching matchup. Adam Wainwright will be on the mound for the Cardinals and he's pitching at an elite level at home this season. Wainwright has a 2.79 ERA and 0.966 WHIP in 13 home starts. He's also in prime form, with a 2.57 ERA and 0.905 WHIP over his last 3 starts. All 3 of which he went at least 7 innings, giving up 3 or fewer runs.
Mike Minor will go for Kansas City. He's got a 5.31 ERA in 22 starts. He's also got a 5.54 ERA in 14 night game starts this year. I just don't see him being able to keep pace with Wainwright in this one. Give me the Cardinals -152!

MLB | Marlins vs Rockies
Play on: Marlins +140 at William Hill

Jack's Free Pick Friday: Miami Marlins +140
The Miami Marlins have shown they are going to play for pride here down the stretch. They just won three out of four games from the New York Mets, and I like the value we are getting with them as nice-sized underdogs here against the Colorado Rockies tonight.
Sanda Alcantara is too good to be this big of an underdog to the Rockies. He has posted a 3.05 ERA and 1.108 WHIP in 22 starts this season. Alcantara is 1-1 with a 1.20 ERA and 0.733 WHIP in two career starts against Colorado, allowing just 2 earned runs in 15 innings.
German Marquez is 9-8 with a 3.51 ERA in 22 starts this season for the Rockies. But Marquez is just 2-3 with a 5.47 ERA and 1.622 WHIP in five career starts against the Marlins. He should not be this big of a favorite tonight. Bet the Marlins Friday.

MLB | Rangers vs A's
Play on: A's -1½ -120 at SC Consensus

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach Friday MLB Free Pick - OAKLAND RUN LINE -1.5 -120
The Rangers are horrible and can't score runs right now. Texas has lost 17 of 21 games and scored only 2.4 runs per game during this horrific stretch. Now they face an A's team that has won 5 of 7 and scored an average of 5.8 runs per game in the 5 wins during this hot streak. That said, a 6-2 final sounds about right here given the pitching match-up. Foltynewicz has an 8.38 ERA on the road this season and a 2-10 overall record this season. The A's are 15-7 in Bassitt's starts this season and he has a stellar 2.70 ERA at home this season. Look for home dominance and a win by 2+ runs in this one. Free Pick OAKLAND Run Line -1.5

MLB | Diamondbacks vs Padres
Play on: Padres -1½ -105 at SC Consensus

Free Play from Doc’s Sports: Take 962 SAN DIEGO PADRES -1.5 RL (-105) OVER ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS (10:10p.m., Friday, August 6) The Padres know that, if they're going to make a run, they must win games like this. Guess what: they will, and easily, too. San Diego has even raised the ante with late trades and Arizona has nothing to throw back at them. The Padres will beat them out of the gate and all the way to the finish line. This one is over by the 3rd.

MLB | Diamondbacks vs Padres
Play on: Padres -201 at linepros

Friday MLB Free play. My selection is on San Diego over Arizona at 10:10 pm et on Friday.
I always like the back the Padres following an off day. Their bullpen has been extremely overworked this season, logging a whopping 455 innings. In spite of that, they've held their own, posting a 2.93 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 36 saves converted and only 16 blown. While we're being asked to lay a considerable price to back them here, that price is warranted in my opinion.
The D'Backs check in a miserable 13-41 on the road this season, outscored by 2.0 runs per game. They're in an awful spot here after blowing a 4-0 ninth inning lead in an eventual 5-4 extra innings loss to the Giants yesterday.
Arizona will hand the ball to Caleb Smith on Friday. He's made five road starts this season, going 0-5 with a 9.00 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. That includes a 7-0 loss here in San Diego back in early April.
Ryan Weathers will counter for the Padres. He got crushed in his most recent start, allowing eight earned runs in just four innings against the Rockies. He'll likely have a short leash in this one and I'm not sure the D'Backs are capable of inflicting much damage anyway. Note that prior to his last outing, Weathers had worked six shutout innings in his previous two starts. The Padres have won four of his seven home starts this season. Take San Diego.
