Game Analysis

Jack's Free Pick Friday: Tampa Bay Rays +108

The Tampa Bay Rays should be highly motivated for a victory tonight after dropping three consecutive games coming in.  They had 12 hits and 3 walks and managed just 3 runs against the Yankees in Game 1 of this series yesterday.  Look for them to capitalize on more of those scoring opportunities today.

The Rays have the advantage on the mound behind Drew Rasmussen, who is 1-0 with a 0.60 ERA and 0.73 WHIP in three starts this season.  He has allowed just one earned run in 15 innings with 15 K's.  Rasmussen has owned the Yankees, going 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in three career starts against them while firing 18 2/3 shutout innings with 23 K's.

Carlos Rodon is 1-3 with a 5.48 ERA in four starts this season, allowing 14 earned runs and 5 homers in 23 innings.  Rodon is 1-3 with a 4.61 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in eight career starts against the Rays, allowing 20 earned runs, 6 homers and 25 walks in 39 innings.  Bet the Rays Friday.

The Key: The San Francisco Giants are 13-6 this season and scoring 5.5 RPG.  They have scored at least 4 runs in eight consecutive games.  They should provide ace Logan Webb with plenty of support tonight.  Webb is 2-0 with a 2.63 ERA in four starts this season.  He'll be opposed by Tyler Anderson, who is a contact pitcher that is a big regression candidate.  Anderson has yielded 9 ER, 3 HR and 28 base runners in 17 1/3 innings in his last 3 starts against San Francisco.  The Angels have scored 3 runs or fewer in losing each of their last 4 games.  Take San Francisco.

MLB | STL vs NYM
Play on: OVER 8 -105
Game Analysis

Friday MLB Free play. My selection is on the over between St. Louis and New York at 7:10 pm et on Friday.

After a quiet opener in which the Mets came away with a 4-1 win, I’m expecting a shift in tone Friday night with Miles Mikolas and David Peterson set to toe the rubber.

While Mikolas has managed to limit damage in the run column with a 2.61 FIP, his bloated 1.62 WHIP through 13 innings tells a different story — one of constant traffic on the basepaths, which isn’t a great sign heading into a matchup in a hitter-friendly forecast.

On the other side, Peterson remains an inconsistent option in the Mets rotation, and this matchup doesn't do him any favors. St. Louis has feasted on left-handed pitching this season, ranking top-five in baseball in weighted on-base average against southpaws. After being held largely in check Thursday, the Cardinals lineup is in a strong position to bounce back against a pitcher they’re well-equipped to hit.

Layer in favorable weather conditions — including temps near 60 and the wind blowing out to left-center — and the setup is there for both lineups to get rolling after Thursday's subdued effort.

Take the over. Projected score: Cardinals 6, Mets 5.

NBA | Magic vs Celtics
Play on: Celtics -13½ -115 at BookMaker
Game Analysis

Magic vs Celtics 
5-Unit bet on the Celtics priced as a 14-point favorite. 

Consider betting 5-units on the Celtics preflop and then look to add the remaining 2-Units if the Celtics get priced at 9.5 points during the first half of action.  

Since 2021, this betting algorithm has produced highly profitable results with an eye-popping 26-4 SU and 24-6 ATS record good for 80% winning bets. Bet on hoe favorites that are coming off three consecutive games allowing no more than 105 points in each game and facing a foe that scored 120 or more points in their last game. 

Since 2016, favorites of 7.5 or more points in this situation have gone an impressive 31-3 SU and 23-10-1 ATYS good for 70% winning bets. 

Key Player Matchups 

The Celtics’ star-studded lineup, led by Jayson Tatum, holds significant edges over Orlando’s depleted roster. Here are three pivotal player matchups that could dictate Boston’s path to a sweep: 

Jayson Tatum vs. Paolo Banchero: Duke Duel in the Spotlight 

Why It Matters: Tatum, a 2024 Finals MVP contender, faces his former Duke teammate Banchero, Orlando’s rising star. This matchup pits Boston’s versatile superstar against a young forward tasked with carrying the Magic’s offense. 

Analytics Edge: Tatum averaged 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists on 45.9% three-point shooting (17-for-37) against Orlando this season, including a 26-point blowout win on January 17. His Player Impact Estimate (PIE) of 18.2 dwarfs Banchero’s 14.5, reflecting Tatum’s two-way dominance. Banchero, who missed time with an oblique injury, averaged 15 points and 6 assists in the April 9 win but struggled (40% FG) against Tatum’s defense. Boston’s 2nd-ranked offensive rating (118.5) thrives when Tatum exploits mismatches, while Orlando’s 27th-ranked offensive rating (108.7) leans heavily on Banchero’s 22.6 points per game. 

Why Celtics Win This: Tatum’s playoff experience (6 conference finals in 8 years) and 37-6 record in games with 36.5%+ team three-point shooting overwhelm Banchero’s 0-2 playoff record. Orlando’s 30th-ranked three-point percentage (31.2%) can’t match Boston’s record-setting 1,457 made threes. If Tatum continues his 48% eFG% against Banchero, Boston cruises. 

Jaylen Brown vs. Franz Wagner: Physicality Meets Uncertainty 

Why It Matters: Brown, despite a lingering knee issue, is Boston’s second scoring option, while Wagner, Orlando’s other young wing, aims to disrupt with physical defense. Brown’s health is a question mark, but his practice participation signals readiness. 

Analytics Edge: Brown averaged 27.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 5 assists on 48.8% shooting in two games against Orlando, showcasing his ability to overpower Wagner. Wagner, also recovering from an oblique injury, posted 23 points in the April 9 win but shot 42% overall against Boston. Orlando’s 2nd-ranked defensive rating (108.2) limits three-point attempts (fewest in NBA), but Boston’s 5th-ranked eFG% (.561) and Brown’s 1.3 steals per game exploit Wagner’s 2.1 turnovers. 

Why Celtics Win This: Brown’s 48-14 record as a playoff favorite and Boston’s 54-7 mark when outshooting opponents from three trump Wagner’s 9-12 record in close games. If Brown plays 30+ minutes (as in his 37-point outburst vs. Atlanta), Wagner’s 49% eFG% defense won’tcontain him, setting up a Celtics rout. 

Derrick White vs. Cole Anthony: Backcourt Mismatch 

Why It Matters: With Jalen Suggs out (knee injury), Anthony steps up as Orlando’s lead guard, facing White, Boston’s unsung two-way star. White’s three-point shooting and defense could expose Anthony’s inexperience. 

Analytics Edge: White’s 265 made threes (4th in NBA) and 1.2 steals per game fuel Boston’s 4th-ranked defensive rating (109.8). He averaged 21 points against Orlando, shooting 45% from three. Anthony’s 18 points off the bench in the April 9 win were solid, but his 38% three-point shooting and 3rd-ranked turnover rate (2.8 per game) among Magic starters are liabilities. Orlando’s 28th-ranked points per game (104.2) crumble in clutch situations (30th in clutch FG%), while Boston’s 7-2 clutch record shines. 

Why Celtics Win This: White’s 50.2% eFG% and 2.1 assist-to-turnover ratio outclass Anthony’s 44% eFG% and 1.8 ratio. Boston’s 22-5 post-All-Star run, driven by White’s 39% three-point shooting, buries Orlando’s 9-3 finish, especially without Suggs’ perimeter defense. 

Key Team Matchups 

Boston’s well-rounded roster exploits Orlando’s offensive struggles and injury woes. Here are two critical team matchups that favor the Celtics: 

Boston’s Three-Point Barrage vs. Orlando’s Elite Perimeter Defense 

Why It Matters: Boston set NBA records with 1,457 made threes and 3,955 attempts, ranking 2nd in offensive rating (118.5). Orlando boasts the NBA’s best three-point defense, allowing the fewest attempts and makes, with a 2nd-ranked defensive rating (108.2). 

Analytics Edge: Boston shot 36.5% or better from three in 43 games, going 37-6, including a 17-for-37 (45.9%) performance in their 26-point win over Orlando on January 17. Orlando limited Boston to 15-for-73 (20.5%) in their two wins, but those games lacked Tatum or the full Celtics lineup. The Magic rank last in three-point makes and 30th in three-point percentage (31.2%), while Boston’s 54-7 record when outshooting opponents from three is unmatched. 

Why Celtics Win This: Orlando’s defense relies on physicality, but Boston’s 5th-ranked eFG% (.561) and depth (Tatum, White, Pritchard’s 255 threes) overwhelm. The Magic’s 1.07 points per possession (2nd-worst in NBA) can’t keep pace if Boston hits 36%+ from deep, as in 43 of 82 games. 

Boston’s Playoff Experience vs. Orlando’s Youth and Injuries 

Why It Matters: Boston’s core has reached six conference finals in eight years, going 15-3 in last year’s playoffs. Orlando, with Banchero and Wagner missing significant time and Suggs and Moe Wagner out, lacks playoff pedigree (0-2 in recent postseasons). 

Analytics Edge: Boston’s 61-21 record, 4th-ranked defensive rating (109.8), and 2nd-ranked net rating (+8.7) reflect their consistency. Orlando’s 41-41 record, 27th-ranked offensive rating (108.7), and 28th-ranked points per game (104.2) highlight their struggles. The Magic’s 30th-ranked clutch FG% and 24th-ranked field goal percentage (44.1%) falter against Boston’s 7-2 clutch record and 48.1% field goal percentage (8th in NBA). 

Why Celtics Win This: Boston’s 4-1 first-round record in recent years (four sweeps or five games) and 48-14 favorite record crush Orlando’s 9-12 underdog clip. The Magic’s injuries (Suggs, Moe Wagner) and 15-7 start undone by a .500 finish post-injuriescan’t match Boston’s 22-5 post-All-Star surge. 

Why the Celtics Could Easily Sweep the Magic 

The Celtics are poised for a 4-0 sweep due to overwhelming advantages in talent, experience, and matchup dynamics, supported by analytics and Orlando’s limitations: 

Firepower and Depth: Boston’s record-setting three-point shooting (1,457 makes, 36.8% as a team) and 2nd-ranked offensive rating (118.5) exploit Orlando’s 27th-ranked offensive rating (108.7) and last-place three-point makes. With Tatum, Brown, White, and Pritchard all surpassing 250 threes, Boston’s 37-6 record when shooting 36.5%+ from deep is a death knell for Orlando’s 30th-ranked three-point defense (31.2%). Even if Orlando limits attempts (as in their 15-for-73 defensive wins), Boston’s 45.1% overall FG% against the Magic and 5th-ranked eFG% (.561) ensure scoring efficiency. 

Playoff Pedigree: Boston’s core, with 15-3 playoff wins last season and six conference finals trips, thrives in high-pressure moments (7-2 clutch record). Orlando’s young roster, with Banchero and Wagner at 0-2 in playoffs and no Suggs or Moe Wagner, ranks 28th in clutch points and 30th in clutch FG%. The Celtics’ 4-1 first-round history (sweeps or five games) and 48-14 favorite record dwarf Orlando’s 9-12 underdog struggles. 

Injury and Roster Gaps: Orlando’s season was derailed by injuries to Banchero (oblique), Wagner (oblique), Suggs (knee, out), and Moe Wagner (ACL, out), dropping them from a 15-7 start to .500. Boston, despite Brown’s knee concern, has a healthy Tatum, Porzingis (missed 40 games but ready), and depth (Horford, Pritchard). Brown’s full practice participation and Boston’s 26-point win with their full lineup signal dominance. Orlando’s 1.07 points per possession (2nd-worst) can’t match Boston’s 118.5 points per game (3rd in NBA). 

Historical Precedent: Boston’s 26-point win on January 17 (121-94) with their full lineup exposed Orlando’s inability to counter Boston’s spacing and defense. Orlando’s two wins (108-104, 96-76) came without Tatum or Boston’s top six, rendering them unreliable predictors. The Celtics’ 61-21 record, 22-5 post-All-Star run, and 54-7 mark when outshooting opponents from three contrast sharply with Orlando’s 41-41 record and 9-3 finish against weaker foes. 

Orlando’s Offensive Woes: The Magic’s 28th-ranked points per game (104.2), 24th-ranked FG% (44.1%), and 30th-ranked three-point percentage (31.2%) crumble against Boston’s 4th-ranked defensive rating (109.8) and 1.8 blocks per game (Porzingis, Horford). Orlando’s reliance on Banchero and Wagner (49% of team points) falters against Boston’s 2nd-ranked net rating (+8.7) and White’s 1.2 steals. 

Potential Obstacles to a Sweep 

While a sweep is likely, two factors could extend the series: 

Jaylen Brown’s Knee: Brown’s injections and minutes restriction (mid-March) raise concerns. If he’s limited, Orlando’s physicality (led by Wagner) could steal a game, as seen in their 108-104 win. 

Orlando’s Defense: The Magic’s 2nd-ranked defensive rating (108.2) and league-best three-point defense (fewest attempts allowed) disrupted Boston’s 15-for-73 three-point shooting in two wins. If they replicate this, a Game 3 or 4 upset in Orlando is possible. However, Boston’s 37-6 record when shooting 36.5%+ from three and 26-point win with their full lineup suggest these hurdles are surmountable.

MIKE'S MLB FREE PICK

This looks like a good spot to back the Cleveland Guardians off back-to-back losses to the Orioles and fade the Pirates after two wins over the Nationals.

Cleveland righty Luis L. Ortiz owns a 6.06 ERA on the season, but he’s coming off one of the best outings of his career, striking out 10 and allowing just one run over 5 2/3 innings against the Royals.

Pittsburgh righty Carmen Mlodzinski has been shaky, giving up four runs in two of his three starts.

While Cleveland managed just three runs over its last two games, they put plenty of runners on base and should be able to cash in more of those opportunities today.

3% FREE PICK ON THE GUARDIANS. 

Over the years, Mike Lundin has established himself as one of the sharpest handicappers in the world. He's 17-8 (68%) with his MLB premium picks on the season, and his HIGH ROLLER REPORT for Friday includes 2 MLB and 1 NBA winners.

MLB | Yankees vs Rays
Play on: Rays -104 at Heritage
Game Analysis

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our Friday Free Play. We lost with Tampa Bay in this spot on Thursday but are coming back with them Friday. The Yankees swept the Royals to open the week and took the opener 6-3 last night and turn to Carlos Rodon who not surprisingly, has been pretty bad. He opened the season with a decent start against the Brewers but he has allowed 13 runs over his last three starts and he has been just average in his three seasons with the Yankees with a 4.84 ERA in 54 starts including the postseason. Tampa Bay fell to 8-11 on the season following three straight losses as it has been unable to take advantage of a skewed opening schedule where 16 of its first 19 games have been at home and has to get back into the series. Drew Rasmussen has been the complete opposite of Rodon as he has a 0.60 ERA and 73 WHIP through three starts to go along with a 24.1% K:BB%. He has not allowed a run at home and going back to 2021 when coming over from Milwaukee, he has made 75 starts with the Rays and has a 2.54 ERA and of 166 starters that has tossed 250 or more innings over this stretch, that ERA is No. 1 as is his 0.98 WHIP. Play (912) Tampa Bay Rays

NBA on a 6-2 run with both Play-In Tournament winners Friday including Play-In Game of the Year to extend 59% GOY Run. MLB heads into the weekend with Three Friday Underdog Winners as we go for a PERFECT 3-0 Sweep.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Manchester United are unbeaten in all of their last 7 home matches in all competitions.

- Wolverhampton have defeated Manchester United in just 1 of their last 13 away meetings in all competitions.

- Manchester United are 3-0-3 in their last 6 home matches.

Verdict: The value is on the Home underdog.

Friday’s FREE WINNER: Miami Heat.

Game 589.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

To be quite honest, I think the wrong team is favored in this matchup. The Atlanta Hawks are not the team they once were playing at the State Farm Arena anymore. There was a time this team was money at home. Just recently, they have failed to cover in three of their last four played at home, folks. This season, they are 21-19 straight up on their own court. But they are truly immortal playing on their own court over the last several seasons. I also don't feel this team is a money team. By that I mean, they might be able to win a few games during the regular season. But when it comes down to crunch time, they fold like a cheap suit. They have split out their last 10 games, both straight up and against the spread, and have lost and failed to cover their two most recent meetings with the Miami Heat. Granted, both of those matchups were on the road. But still at the end of February, and at the end of March, Miami came up big in both of those outings. Speaking of the Heat, they are an ATS cover machine when they travel, covering five of their last six games played on the road. Both teams have some big names listed as questionable or out here. But Miami comes into this matchup a little hotter, winning six of their last 10 straight up, and covering seven of those 10 overall. Remember folks, this is about who covers, and the Heat are covering. The Atlanta defense has been a doormat all season long, ranking 27th, getting plowed for over 120.8 points per game. As a matter of fact, in most defensive categories, they rank near the bottom. Yes, they can score some points on offense. But this match up. they are in trouble because they face one of the stingiest and most frustrating defenses in the NBA. The Heat allow just 111.4 points per game, they are better on the boards, and significantly better from the free-throw line. I think this game is going to get physical, and that definitely gives Miami an advantage. I like the Heat to win this game outright. I think they should be a favorite. No matter what the line is, take Miami. Thank you.

Game Analysis

The Milwaukee Brewers (10–9) will play the Sacramento Athletics (9–10) at American Family Field on April 18, 2025 at 8:10 PM ET. The Brewers hold the advantage with betting odds of -162 while the Athletics trail at +136. The total predicted run count for the game stands at 8 runs.

The Athletics arrive at this game with a three-game victory run following their sweep against the Chicago White Sox. Tyler Soderstrom leads the team's offense with the highest home run total in the majors at nine and a total of 18 RBIs. Jacob Wilson has maintained an impressive batting average of .338 throughout this season. On the mound, J.T. J.T. Ginn prepares for his second start this season after holding the Mets to just one run across 5.1 innings during his initial outing.

The Brewers have won four out of their last five series and finished their recent matchup by taking two games from the Detroit Tigers. Jackson Chourio drives the offense with five home runs and 17 RBIs alongside Sal Frelick who leads the team with a .318 batting average. Freddy Peralta will take the mound for Milwaukee entering the game with a 2.31 ERA and a total of 28 strikeouts over 23.1 innings.

This A's lineup has some big hitters and I like today's contest to get over the total.

Guardians -120

Cleveland is worth a free move on Friday. After dropping back to back games to Baltimore, they send out Ortiz, who makes his reunion in Pittsburgh after being traded in the offseason. He struck out 10 in his last outing against KC and has momentum to carry in here. Cleveland’s offense is getting guys on base, they’re just lacking that big clutch hit. Expect them to break through here and get a good outing from Ortiz. My daily free plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays.

MLB | Cardinals vs Mets
Play on: Mets -163 at Heritage
Game Analysis

I am going to make this short and sweet, it is all about the pitching matchup. The Cardinals will go with Miles Mikolas on the mound. So far this season, he is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA and has given up 14 runs in three starts this season. In his career against the Mets, he's 2-4 with a 5.31 ERA and has given up 8 runs in his last two starts against them.. Overall St. Louis has a team ERA of 4.13 which ranks 18th The Mets will counter with David Peterson on the bump. Peterson is 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA allowing five runs in three starts. This will be his first career appearance against the cardinals.  New York has a team ERA of 2.38 which ranks first overall and they have the third best bullpen ERA.  Against Mikolas, Lindor hits .412 in 17 ABs, Soto hits .389 in 18 ABs, Taylor hits .300 in 10 ABs, Winker hits .375 in 16 ABs. Contreras is the only Cardinal to face peterson and he is hitting 125 in 8 AB. The Mets have won five of their last six games, while the Cardinals have lost five of their last six road games. 

I know the line is a little high but i always believe scared money doesn’t make money but you also have to be smart. I will lay a half unit on the money line and look to possibly sprinkle a little on the minus 1.5 also.
