Dave's Wednesday Free Play:

1* on Baltimore Orioles +124

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Baltimore Orioles tonight. They will bounce back from a loss to the Blue Jays in extra innings last night. Kevin Gausman is coming off one of his worst starts of the season for the Blue Jays, yielding 7 runs, 5 earned, and 10 base runners in 5 1/3 innings of a 9-4 loss to the Phillies. Gausman is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 4 lifetime starts against the Orioles, and the Blue Jays have lost both of his starts against them in 2023. Take Baltimore.

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Nationals/Yankees OVER 8.5

The Washington Nationals have scored at least 8 runs in four of their last 10 games overall and are seeing the ball well right now. The New York Yankees are scoring 5.1 runs per game vs. left-handed starters this season and should get their bats going tonight.

The Nationals will stay hot at the plate against Luis Severino, who has been one of the worst starters in all of baseball this season. Severino is 2-7 with a 7.67 ERA and 1.842 WHIP in 14 starts this season, allowing 56 earned runs and 19 homers in 65 2/3 innings. Severino is 0-3 with a 13.50 ERA and 2.382 WHIP in his last three starts, allowing 17 earned runs and 5 homers in 11 1/3 innings.

Lefty Mackenzie Gore is 6-9 with a 4.38 ERA and 1.378 WHIP in 24 starts this season. Gore has been at his worst on the road, going 4-5 with a 5.11 ERA and 1.369 WHIP in 13 starts away from home while allowing 13 homers in 68 2/3 innings. Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

1* MLB - Nationals/Yankees FREE Pick on Nationals +128

Wednesday's Free MLB Pick is on the Washington Nationals as a +128 road dog against the New York Yankees. New York has been a dumpster fire of late. Yankees have lost 9 in a row, including yesterday's loss to the Nationals as a -175 favorite. Value isn't as good today, but I got a hard time believing it will be Luis Severino that snaps this skid for New York. Severino has a horrific 13.50 ERA and 2.383 WHIP in his last 3 starts. He's 2-7 with a 7.67 ERA and 1.842 WHIP in 14 starts overall. In his last 3 starts, he's allowed 20 hits (5 HR) and walked 7 in a mere 11 1/3 innings. Washington has Mackenzie Gore on the mound, who is tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings in his last start vs Boston. Washington has also been playing better ball of late. Nationals are 8-2 in their last 10 games. Bet the Nationals +128!

T.M. Selection: Washington Nationals - Spread

Proj Starters - Mackenzie Gore (6-9, 4.38 ERA) vs. Luis Severino (2-8, 7.98 ERA)

I like the Washington Nationals to win this game against the New York Yankees on Wednesday. Normally after having lost nine games in a row, I'd lean towards the teams that's lost that many. However, the Yankees are at a state where they simply need a change. They keep throwing out the same lineup every day thinking it's going to fix on it's own. It's not working and it'll continue not to. Washington has very talented young guys that will eat them alive in this series. I've got the Bats winning this outright, but I'll gladly take the extra points.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Nats.

Line: +1.5, -163

Line Parameter: play until +1.5, -180..

7* MLB Guardians/Dodgers Free Pick

PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5 (-125)

I'll take my chances with the Dodgers on the -1.5 run line at Cleveland. Even with last night's 3-8 loss to the Guardians, LA is a red-hot 17-3 over their last 20 games. They haven't lost back-to-back games in almost a month. The numbers look solid for Cleveland starter Xzavion Curry, who has a 3.60 ERA and 1.200 WHIP in 6 starts. However, the advanced numbers show he's been a bit lucky so far, as he's got a 4.15 FIP and 5.20 xFIP. I could see the Dodgers offense putting up a decent number here, especially with the wind blowing out. LA will also have Clayton Kershaw on the mound. He's 11-4 with a 2.48 ERA in 18 starts. He's got a 1.12 ERA and 0.625 WHIP in his last 3 outings. Give me the Dodgers -1.5 (-125)!
