2 Unit Play. Take #905 Over 8.5 in Milwaukee @ Los Angeles (10:10p.m., Thursday, August 13 MLB.tv) The Brewers offense will come back to life in this game against this pitcher. Milwaukee will hit some home runs at the home run friendly park and I see this game going over the posted total.
Robert Ferringo
1-Unit Play. Take #901 Pittsburgh (-120) over Miami (1 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 13)
5-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 8.5 Philadelphia at Minnesota (7:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 13)
Aaron Nola has been a mess. He’s allowed 10 home runs in his last 33 innings of work, covering just six starts. He’s a shot fighter. But Philly really doesn’t have any other options so they have to keep trotting him out there every fifth day. Taj Bradley is quietly having a very solid season but he’s shown some cracks lately with 15 walks in his last five starts. He’s been effective but not dominating and I think the Phillies can scratch out 2-3 runs against him before getting to Minnesota’s bullpen.
Carpe diem. Good luck.
Craig Trapp
2-Unit Play. Take #910 NY Yankees (-145, moneyline) Over Seattle (1:35 pm, Thursday August 13)
The Yankees are in a strong position to secure a sweep after winning their last two games. Seattle starting pitcher Logan Gilbert has struggled recently, while the Yankees’ pitcher, Fried, had an excellent last outing. Given Seattle's offensive struggles it’s NYY winning easy. Take Yankees on the moneyline.
7-Unit Play. Take #906 LA Dodgers (-145, moneyline) Over Milwaukee (10:10 pm, Thursday August 13)
The Dodgers will want to send message to one of the other best teams in NL and think they do that in game of this series. LA has Sasaki on the mound who has been great last 5 starts, LAD has won 4 of those 5 starts. Take LA Dodgers to win on the moneyline.

4-Unit Play. Take #903/904 'Over' 8.5 (-118) Chicago Cubs at Washington (4:05 p.m., Thu, Aug 13)
Hot weather again today in the DC area and both these teams have been swinging the bats quite well. This is particularly true of the Cubs but also note the Nationals have scored at least 5 runs in 5 straight games plus have scored an average of 6.4 runs per game over their last 7 games. As for the Cubs, they have won 8 of their last 9 games and a big reason for the heater is that Chicago has scored an average of 7.1 runs per game during this 9-game stretch. Considering numbers like the above, this is a bargain total on this game. Certainly I understand the lower total based on the respectable ERA of Cavalli and the long-term reputation of Gausman. However, here are the keys regarding that. Gausman had a great Cubs debut but this followed him allowing 23 hits in 15 innings over his 3 prior outings. As for Cavalli, he has decent numbers over his last 3 starts but has allowed an average of 2 homers in those 3 outings. Now he faces a Cubs team that has the #3 slugging percentage the last 30 days. By the way, yes it is the Nationals that are #1 in that same category over the last 30 days! Slugfest here! 4* OVER 8.5 -118 in Washington

5-Unit Play. #911. Take Boston Redsox -140 over Toronto Bluejays (Thursday @ 3:07pm est)
FOOTBALL STARTS TODAY! Remember, if you get IC's Season Football Package, you get 2 other handicappers for Free for the entire pre-season and up to Week 2 of the NFL Season! We are already 1-0 to start the season and we have 6 Football Selections being releasd today. And, 6*MLB Winner yesterday. Ok, for this game, we just don't see Boston losing 4 in a row man. That too, to a division rival. It's now or never for Boston, they get a pitcher on a bounce-back here, who has revenge and a Toronto pitcher on a classic let down, once again, it will be all hell breaks loose in Boston if they lose this game, decent public fade as well, Redsox it is.

Play #910 NY Yankees (-140) over Seattle
*1:35 EST
The Mariners are total fade material on the road. They have been overrated all year (I was one who thought they would make some noise this year). The Mariners are 9-21 on the road since July 5. Not only that, but Max Fried is on the bump for the Yankees and he has been lights out as of late. In his last 2 starts he has given up 1 run and had 14 strikeouts (11+ innings). So far NY in this series have outscored Seattle 14-6. Last time Fried went up against Seattle back in May, he pitched 7 scoreless innings and allowed just 3 hits in a 5-0 NY win. He is a left hander and Seattle cannot LH pitchers worth a damn, they are .191 as a team their last 10 games against them. Also to note: Seattle’s bullpen the last 10 games, a 8.79 ERA and 1.99 WHIP. Unless the Yankees fall asleep at the wheel in the getaway car, they should win this with ease. Runline might be worth a sniff.
Vernon Croy
4-Unit Play: #908 Detroit +100 over Cleveland (Thursday, August 13, 2026, 1:10pm ET)
Take Detroit on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Thursday. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I really like this pitching matchup for Detroit here today. Montero has pitched very well overall this season with opponents hitting just .212 against him, leaving him with an ERA of 3.38 and more importantly a WHIP of 1.01. Montero faced Cleveland once this season with Cleveland hitting just .133 against him. Detroit has hit .250 as a team lifetime against Messick including .222 the only time they have faced him this season. Play Detroit moneyline.
5-Unit Play: #911 Boston -150 over Toronto (Thursday, August 13, 2026, 3:07pm ET)
Take Boston on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Thursday afternoon. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and this Toronto team has struggled significantly against Lefty starters this season. Tolle has pitched great overall this season with an ERA of just 3.20 and Toronto has hit just .214 against him lifetime. Tolle has also pitched better on the road than at home this season with an ERA of just 2.91 and opponents hitting .216 against him. Boston has hit .289 as a team lifetime against Scherzer who has an ERA of 7.25 overall last season with a WHIP of 1.53. Scherzer has an ERA of 9.82 in six starts at home this season with opponents hitting .289 against him and giving up nine home runs. Play Boston moneyline.

3-Unit Play: Take 910 Yankees -140 over Mariners (1:35 p.m., Thursday, August 13)
We played the Yankees the last two days and I’ll close the series with one more play on New York. Or, maybe I should say one more play against Seattle. Rinse and repeat: Seattle has now lost six straight and is just 23-36 on the road. The Mariners are also 9-21 over their last 30 games dating back to July 7. During that stretch, Seattle ranks in the bottom third of the league in the offensive metrics I care about most: wRC+, OPS, and batting average. Logan Gilbert has been off his game in his last three road starts, allowing 11 earned runs in 19.1 IP, for a 5.13 ERA. The Yankees have knocked him around the last two times he’s faced them. With Max Fried on the mound, I’m backing the Yankees in afternoon action. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
August Young
7-Unit Play (901) Pittsburgh Pirates -120 over Miami Marlins (8/13 @ 1:10PM EST) The market is gone too far here as the Pirates continue to fall off a cliff. However, Braxton Ashcraft is significantly better in the predictive markets compared to Tyler Phillips. In fact, despite a 4.08 ERA, Ashcraft ranks in the upper percentile when it comes xERA (3.44), Fastball Velo, Chase %, K%, and BB%. The same cannot be said for Tyler Phillips who ranks in the bottom percentile when it comes to xERA, xBA, Average Exit Velo, K%, and BB%. He hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in six-straight games. This is the time he gets rocked and we're all about it.

4-Unit Play. Take #911 Boston (-1.5, +110) over Toronto (3:05 p.m. Thursday, August 13)
The Blue Jays season seemed to be left for dead a couple of weeks ago, but they have been playing better baseball as of late and are just 1.5 games out of the final wild card spot. Toronto has beat Boston in three straight close games, but I think the Red Sox are going to prevent them from completing the sweep. Payton Tolle has been solid over his last 6 starts, all games Boston won, allowing 10 earned runs over 32.2 innings and I think he will help snap the Sox 5 game losing streak. Max Scherzer will be on the mound for the Jays and he has not fared well at home this season as he is 1-4 with a 9.82 ERA over 6 starts (22 IP), and he has been susceptible to the long ball as he has allowed 9 of them over those contests. Scherzer has pitched better since he returned from the IL at the end of July, but Boston had his number last year when they scored 4 ER on 10 hits (1 HR) over 5 innings in a 7-1 Red Sox win, and I think they can take advantage of the cagey veteran. I think Boston salvages the series with a win before they get out of Canada.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

3 Unit Play Take #906 Los Angeles Dodgers -140 over Milwaukee (10:10pm est):
I really like LA starter Roki Sasaki of late as he's thwoing harder and has posted a 1.88 ERA in his last four outings. Getting him at home and at this price in this matchup is nice value.
Take Los Angeles.
Thank you and good luck,

6 Unit Play - Take #907 LA Dodgers (-140) Over MIL Brewers. (10:10p.m, Thursday, August 13th)
LA comes into this game 73-48 on the year and is the winner of 3 straight. This is a spot where the Dodgers need to make a statement. Milwaukee is a team that has battled back and fourth with the Dodgers all season long for the best record in baseball. Milwaukee is heading into Dodger Stadium tonight, where the Dodgers are a stellar 36-23. Milwaukee are losers of 3 straight and just 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Dodgers are 1st in baseball when it comes to offensive runs allowed per game and 3rd when it comes to offensive runs per game. Again, they are home; they have won 3 straight games, 3rd in offense, and 1st in runs against, and we believe they unload the tank tonight in a statement game against Milwaukee. Take the Dodgers on a solid price here at -140.

1 Units: Take #903 CHC Cubs ML (-145) over WSH Nationals (4:05p.m, Thursday, August 13th)
We are taking the Chicago Cubs on the moneyline today as they look to finish off a three-game road sweep against the Washington Nationals. Chicago’s lineup has been red-hot all week in D.C., putting up 8 runs on Tuesday and following it up with a 12-point offensive explosion yesterday. They are seeing the ball extremely well, making hard contact top-to-bottom, and relentless at wearing down opposing starters. Washington is just trying to salvage the final game of this home set, but their bullpen is completely gassed after having to eat heavy middle-inning work over the first two games. When a relief corps is already stretched thin, facing a hot lineup that works deep counts is a brutal matchup. The Cubs have all the momentum right now and every reason to stay aggressive before heading back home for the weekend. Trust Chicago's bats to keep rolling, punish Washington's bullpen late, and secure the series sweep.
