This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS for our MLB Sweet Spot. We love backing the Athletics when dogs but they are now a sizable favorite and this is fade time based on the matchup. The Royals won the opening game of the series on Tuesday when Bobby Witt Jr. hit a three-run homer in the top of the 10th during a 4-1 victory and we are backing Noah Cameron here. He had a pair of bad starts against the White Sox and Yankees but bounced back with a quality outing in his last game. We963) Kansas City were on Jeffrey Springs in his last start and he put up another poor outing and has now allowed 11 runs in his last two starts and is now overpriced. 10* (963) Kansas City Royals

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Sweet Spot. Anytime we can catch Atlanta at plus money at home, yes, sign us up. We will be fading Tarik Skubal on the road as he is overpriced and while he has been solid this season, he has not been consistent by allowing four runs twice this season and now faces the best offense he has seen. The Braves are arguably the best team in baseball with the Dodgers and Yankees being the challengers and they have the right handed lineup to match up well. JR Ritchie had an awesome first start and while it was at Washington, he is not stepping down in opposition here. Now three years removed from Tommy John surgery, he proved his durability by throwing 140 innings across three levels in 2025. 10* (930) Atlanta Braves

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS as part of our MLB Tuesday Double Play. Tampa Bay has won five straight games following its series opening 3-2 win last night. Nick Martinez delivered his best start of the season against his former team, tossing a career-best 8.0 innings while allowing only one run and striking out six in a 6–1 victory. He has recorded three quality starts in his first five outings. Cleveland has exceeded expectations as it is 15-15 and just a half game out of first place in the American League Central. Tanner Bibee was the Opening Day starter, but he has experienced a turbulent first month. After exiting his debut with shoulder inflammation, he has since returned to the rotation but is searching for consistency. 10* (965) Tampa Bay Rays

This is a play on the DETROIT TIGERS as part of our MLB Tuesday Double Play. Detroit is in first place in the American League Central and we are back on the Casey Mize train as he has simplified his arsenal to a four-pitch mix, four-seamer, sinker, splitter, and slider while moving away from his previous cutter and slurve. This has led to a career-high 27.4% strikeout rate. Atlanta is already running away in the National League East as it has a seven-game lead with a lot of that due to the Braves and Phillies both being 9-19. Despite being designated for assignment on April 12, Martin Perez re-signed with the organization and was quickly recalled to help an injury-depleted pitching staff and has not done much, pitching to a 6.83 xERA. 10* (979) Detroit Tigers

This is a play on the TEXAS RANGERS for our MLB Sweet Spot. We played against Texas yesterday but on the Rangers today in a great value spot. Jack Leiter has not panned out with his 4.97 ERA through five starts but there has been only one bad outing which came on the road at the Dodgers. Leiter is pitching to a 2.37 xERA. The Yankees had their eight-game winning streak snapped on Sunday and are already huge public favorites because of Max Fried and we will fade him here as a lefty in this park. He is coming off a dominant start at Boston but allowed 11 runs in his three previous starts before that. 10* (916) Texas Rangers

This is a play on the BOSTON RED SOX as part of our MLB Sunday Double Play. Boston scores 17 runs on Saturday in a blowout win over Baltimore and then gets rid of nearly every coach a couple hours later. Guess who were on today. Connelley Early gets the tough call from not only that but from trying to back up a 17-1 win. He is projected to maintain a strong K-rate, with models like FanGraphs predicting a 23.6% strikeout rate and over 9.0 K/9. This might be his last start in a while as if the Red Sox option him to the minors for at least 35 days this season, they gain an additional year of team control. Kyle Bradish has been ok this season with a 3.96 ERA in five starts but has a 1.76 WHIP and we will fade that. 10* (963) Boston Red Sox

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS CARDINALS as part of our MLB Sunday Double Play. On an opposite plain, we have the Cardinals that gave manager Oli Marmol a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season that also includes a club option for 2029. They are coming off another brutal loss and look to gain a win in the series finale to avoid the sweep. Yes we are backing Michael McGreevey as he has a 3.29 ERA and 0.91 WHIP and while we do not like the 9.5% K:BB, he faces a team that strikes out a lot. Seattle is still under .500 and a bad road team and a favorite. Emerson Hancock has been great with his 2.38 ERA and a 0.87 WHIP but gives up the long ball and that is what we are banking on to not get the sweep. 10* (980) St. Louis Cardinals

This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PIRATES as part of our MLB Saturday Triple Play. Pittsburgh shutout the Brewers last night behind a master performance from Paul Skenes and while the Pirates take a step back in pitching tonight, it is not overly significant. Mitch Keller has been great with a 2.79 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in five starts, four of those quality outings. His last four starts have been at home but his lone road start was a gen against the Mets, allowing no runs on three hits. Jacob Misiorowski is having a great season as well with a 3.04 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through five starts. He is a big favorite because of his strikeout potential but he does not go deep as he has made it six full innings only once. 10* (907) Pittsburgh Pirates

<p>

This is a play on the CHICAGO CUBS as part of our MLB Saturday Triple Play. The Cubs came through for us in dramatic fashion last night as they hit a tiebreaking two-run home run in the ninth inning to push their winning streak to 10 games and we will once again ride the hot hand. Colin Rea has gotten off to a solid start as he has a 3.00 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in five games including two starts and in those two starts, he allowed just two runs over 11.2 innings. Tough matchup for sure but everything is clicking for this team. Roki Sasaki had a horrible spring and he carried that over into the regular season as he has a 6.11 ERA and 1.87 WHIP in four starts to go along with a 5.9% K:BB%. 10* (911) Chicago Cubs

<p>

This is a play on the ATHLETICS as part of our MLB Saturday Triple Play. The Athletics took out Texas last night as they hit five home runs and they now have a one game lead in the American League West over the Rangers. Jeffrey Springs takes the hill and brings in a 3.34 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in five starts and this includes getting shelled in his last outing against the White Sox as he allowed seven runs in five innings but that was at home in that minor league stadium. Texas turns to Mackenzie Gore who has been decent with a 4.15 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in his five starts and he is also coming off a poor outing in his last game in Seattle where he allowed five runs in five innings. 10* (919) Athletics

This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Atlanta has taken a 2-1 lead in this series but it is fortunate to be in this spot as the two wins have been by one point apiece and this is a good bounce back spot for New York to even up the series and regain home court advantage. In reality the Knicks could be up 3-0 as they opened the series with a 113-102 win when it led by as many as 19 and then was on the way to taking a 2-0 lead on Monday but lost a 13-point lead in the third quarter. Here, we play against home teams off a close home win by three points or less, second half of the season. This situation is 39-11 (78 percent) since 2017. 10* (545) New York Knicks

This is a play on the CHICAGO CUBS as part of our MLB Friday Double Play. The Cubs have won nine straight games to move into a first place tie with the Reds in the National League Central and now are getting plus money simply because of the name of the opponent. Jameson Taillon had a bad start against the Pirates but bounced back with a quality start against the Mets and can carry that into tonight even though it is a tough matchup. The Dodgers are coming off a 3-4 roadtrip and turn to Emmet Sheehan who has gotten better after a rough start. He has a 5.85 ERA and 1.40 WHIP and is pitching to a 6.25 xERA so the recent success shows negative regression on the way and faces the Cubs at a bad time. 10* (957) Chicago Cubs

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS CARDINALS as part of our MLB Friday Double Play. Seattle is coming off a 3-3 homestand and now hit the road where it is 1-8 while coming in as a big road favorite. Part of that is George Kirby who has allowed three runs or less in three straight starts and overall has a 2.97 ERA and 1.05 WHIP but four of five starts have been at home. His road start at Texas was good but he has a bad road history. St. Louis has already exceeded as it is 14-10 after a 4-2 roadtrip and is back home where it is 7-5. Andre Pallante had one horrible start against Boston but has a 1.80 ERA in his other three starts and definitely has a good matchup with the Mariners unable to score on the road. 10* (978) St. Louis Cardinals

This is a play on the BOSTON RED SOX for our MLB Sweet Spot. Payton Tolle is making his season debut and in a pressure spot which we have seen before. After a rapid ascent from the 2024 MLB Draft to a major league debut in 2025, he entered 2026 as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, though he was optioned to the minors to begin the year to improve his command and arsenal depth. Cam Schlittler is rolling along early with a 1.95 ERA and 0.76 WHIP and has had the luxury of facing some bad offenses. The Boston offense is nothing special as it is bottom third of the league in most categories but this is the buy low time again after scoring just one run in the first two games of this series. 10* (910) Boston Red Sox

This is a play on the BOSTON RED SOX as part of our MLB Wednesday Double Play. New York has won four straight games following a series opening win yesterday as the Yankees recorded their second straight shutout with the pitching allowing just six runs over the four games. Max Fried is a great option to keep that going but he has struggled after two shutout starts as he has a 4.95 ERA over his last three starts. Boston is now just 2-3 on this homestand and having a hard time at 9-14 overall but now we get value. Ranger Suarez has been the opposite of Fried as after he allowed four runs in his first two Boston starts, he has not allowed a run over his last two outings covering 14 innings. 10* (970) Boston Red Sox

<p>

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BREWERS as part of our MLB Wednesday Double Play. We are a fan of Casey Mize but is definitely overpriced here. He has a 2.78 ERA through four starts but is pitching to a 5.74 xERA and following 6.2 shutout innings at Boston, this is the time to go against as it is a sell high spot with the line having gone up. Milwaukee has won five of six and catching a great number. Chad Patrick is coming off a solid 2025 season with a 3.54 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in 27 games including 23 starts and has been effective this season with a 0.95 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in four games including three starts. He is pitching to a 3.30 xERA so there will be negative regression but insignificant. 10* (973) Milwaukee Brewers
