7 Unit Play. Take #907 Over 9 in Los Angeles @ New York (7:10p.m., Friday, July 24 MLB.tv) What a schedule the Mets have had of late playing some of the top teams in baseball. Boston, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, and Atlanta is next after this weekend series. The Mets are getting some players back and they should be able to get to Roki Sasaki at some point in this game. He has a 4.98 E.R.A. and a 1.34 WHIP. He has given up 19 home runs. The Dodgers scored 18 runs against the Phillies and have scored at least 7 runs in 3 of their last 5 games. They tend to score a bunch of runs or just 2 or less runs in their games of late, but I see them hitting Sean Manaea. He is usually just a five and fly guy and has allowed at least one run in 12 start starts. 34 combined runs have been scored in his last 3 starts. Play the over on Friday night.

2-Unit Play. Take #902 Milwaukee (-1.5, -120) over Colorado (4 p.m.)
Milwaukee has been dominant to start series. Dominant. They have won seven of eight series openers and are a ridiculous 19-2 in their last 21 Game 1’s. Milwaukee is one of the best teams in baseball and swept Colorado easily in their last meeting. The Rockies are 17-34 in their last 51 road games and this team, after being a little plucky for a couple months, is starting to revert to form. They are just 4-8 in their last 12 games and haven’t looked good going it. Colorado is 5-12 in their last 17 road games and today’s scheduled starter, Tomo Sugano, has somehow been worse outside of Coors Field (5.32 ERA) than inside it (4.14). He’s allowed 15 runs in his last two road starts and I think he gets beat up here.
2-Unit Play. Take #907 L.A. Dodgers (-125) over N.Y. Mets (7 p.m.)
1-Unit Play. Take #907 L.A. Dodgers (-1.5, +120) over N.Y. Mets (7 p.m.)
No bet against the Mets is a bad bet. Especially when they are facing the best team in baseball. Roki Sasaki has only allowed 1 run or less in back-to-back starts once this season. He had five shutout innings against the Yankees last weekend and I don’t see him putting back-to-back strong starts together. The Dodgers have won back-to-back grinding series with the Yankees and Phillies and should roll over the Mets this weekend.
2-Unit Play. Take #914 Detroit (-1.5, -115) over Kansas City (6:40 p.m.)
I have a feeling Tarik Skubal is going to show up here. He caused some beef with the Tigers fan base so it will be interesting to see how he’s received at home tonight, especially with a likely trade looming. Regardless, he is one of the best in baseball and will prove it again with another dominating effort.
2-Unit Play. Take #920 Chicago White Sox (-130) over Houston (7:40 p.m.)
1-Unit Play. Take #928 Baltimore (-115) over Atlanta (7 p.m.)
The Orioles are kind of getting things going. They have won 8 of 10 and have won five of their last six against the Orioles.

2-Unit Play. Take #903 Chicago Cubs (+100) Over Pittsburgh (6:40 pm, Friday July 24)
Matthew Boyd has been excellent lately - Cubs are 6-0 in his starts. Pittsburgh’s offense is feast-or-famine and think Cubs pitching staff holds them down. Take Chicago moneyline.
4-Unit Play. Take #903 Arizona (-125) Over Washington (6:45 pm, Friday July 24)
Arizona is rolling (8-2 in their last 10) and should keep it going on the road. They hold a clear pitching edge, Eduardo Rodríguez will shut down Washington’s offense. Take Arizona moneyline.

6-Unit Play. Take #907/908 'Over' 9 (-110) LA Dodgers at NY Mets (7:10 p.m., Fri, July 24)
The Dodgers have scored at least 7 runs in 3 of their last 5 games. Los Angeles has seen all 3 of those games total at least 10 runs and those 3 games averaged 14 runs apiece. They should have no trouble with the offerings of Sean Manaea. The Mets southpaw has allowed multiple home runs in 3 straight starts and overall has been roughed up in 4 of his last 6 starts. The Dodgers will start Roki Sasaki and he is off of a good start against the Yankees but this was after 5 starts in which he allowed 22 earned runs in 23 innings! In other words, don't get fooled by one good start. Sasaki's struggles quickly resume here and he is facing a Mets team that actually has averaged 10 hits per game over their last 4 games. The point is that New York doesn't really have the runs to show for it but they have been swinging the bats decently. Also, the Mets last 3 home games before the break were low-scoring but that followed a stretch in which 20 of 30 Mets home games totaled at least 9 runs and this is the Mets first home series since the All-Star break. Look for that high-scoring trend to quickly resume here. 6* OVER 9 (-110) in NY Mets

6-Unit Play. #928. Take Baltimore Orioles -110 over Atlanta Braves (Friday @ 7:05pm est)
We roll with the Orioles here. We have won 3 top plays baseball top plays in a row and now we look for 4 in a row here. Ok, per this game, Baltimore just beat Boston 5-1 and ended their massive winning streak. This team also swept Houston, swept Kansas City and was on a roll themselves before these two teams collided and ended up with Baltimore winning 1 game from Boston. Note, you have Rogers here, 6 innings, 7 hits and 1 run against Houston, 5 straight quality starts for Rogers, also Holmes on average goes about 5 innings, had 7 hits in those 5 innings last game, got a little lucky and won, let's roll with Baltimore to post a fantastic win today.

Play #905 / #906 Arizona / Washington (Over 9.5)
*6:40 EST
Arizona is going to light up Washington today in my opinion. Palmquist opens for the Nats and Littell follows. Bad combination for Nats today, and Zona can and will light them up. I know Rodriguez has been steady for the D-Backs but he may regress a bit down the stretch and we all know the Nats can put up runs at home. The Nats bullpen last 10 games, a 5.49 ERA. This should be a high scoring affair. Washington put up 22 runs in 3 games against Colorado, and Zona played a 1 off makeup game in St Louis last night and mashed in 10 runs and have had 35 runs in their last 3 games.

4-Unit Play: #914 Detroit -1.5-120 over Kansas City (Friday, July 24, 2026, 6:40pm ET)
Take Detroit on the runline as my top MLB pick for Friday night. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I really like this pitching matchup for Detroit here tonight at home. Kansas City has hit just .230 as a team lifetime against Skubal with an on-base percentage of just .264. Opponents have also hit just .217 against Skubal overall this season with an on base percentage of just .253. Play Detroit runline.
Scott Spreitzer
6-Unit Play: Take 914 Tigers -1.5, -125 over Royals (6:40 p.m., Friday, July 24)
I’m laying the run line with Detroit. We have a big pitching discrepancy with Tarik Skubal going for the Tigers and KC starting the game with Beck Way, likely followed by Noah Cameron who’ll get bulk relief. Cameron has been an absolute mess over his last seven outings but this is a play whether Cameron or Beck get the majority of work. Skubal has been on fire over his last four starts and can keep his team in the wildcard mix with a win tonight. He hasn’t faced KC this season but had a 0.95 ERA and .194 opponents’ batting average in three starts against them last season. Detroit is on a 6-0 run when Skubal starts at Comerica against teams playing .380 to .460 baseball, winning by six runs per game. KC is on a 2-10 slide on the road. I’m backing Detroit on the run line. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

3-Unit Play. Take #920 Chicago (AL) (-1.5, +145) over Houston (7:40 p.m. Friday, July 24)
The White Sox are still holding onto first place in the American League Central and are going to need to make some trades to beef up their roster if they are going to hold off the Guardians and Tigers. Davis Martin has gotten better every season he has pitched for Chicago and he has put it all together this year going 9-5 with a 3.31 ERA. July hasn’t been great for Martin as the Sox have dropped all three starts he has made, but Martin has thrived when pitching at home. Martin is 5-1 with a 1.80 ERA across 8 starts and I think he can hold the Astros offense down tonight. The first two months of the season went really well for Spencer Arrighetti, but the last two have been a completely different story as his ERA is over 7 over those contests. Houston has lost Arrighetti’s last 6 starts with the offense scoring just 6 runs over those matchups, and I think they are going to have a hard time crossing home plate in this one. I think Chicago wins this one convincingly.

4 Unit Play Take #904 Pittsburgh -115 over Chicago Cubs (6:40pm est):
Pittsburgh starter Jared Jones has a ton of high end talent and I think we are starting to see it. The 24 year-old averages nearly 11 K's per 9 innings and has an FIP of just 3.23. He's backed by a Pirates offense ranked near the top of the league.
Take Pittsburgh in this one.
Thank you and good luck,

1 Unit Play - Take #906 WSH Nationals (+105) Over ARI Diamondbacks. (6:45p.m, Friday, July 24th)
Washington is catching money at home tonight due to Arizona sending out Eduardo Rodriguez. Rodriguez is 8-3 on the year, with 116.2 innings of work and a 2.62 ERA. Rodriguez does walk a lot of guys with 41 walks on the season, and we see this as a strong spot. Washington is 6th when it comes to on-base percentage, 1st in stolen bases, and 1st in home runs. We believe if Rodriguez loses his command, it could get really ugly for this Arizona defense. Arizona also has struggled on the road with a 23-27 record. Washington has struggled at home, which is another reason the public will jump on them. We think this is a perfect spot for Washington to start the next series strong and win game one against Arizona’s ace. Take the Nationals to win this game outright.

7-Unit Play: MLB Take #926 PHI Phillies ML (-135) over NYY Yankees (6:45PM Friday, July 24th)
We are backing the Philadelphia Phillies on the moneyline tonight, targeting a strong bounce-back spot for them at Citizens Bank Park to open this interleague series. The main edge in game one lies on the mound with Philadelphia’s reliable lefty, Jesús Luzardo. Luzardo has been a steadying force for the Phillies' rotation all season, bringing a crisp 9-4 record and a sharp 3.43 ERA into tonight’s start. Taking the bump on his home field following that tough series against the Dodgers, Luzardo gives Philadelphia a big advantage in controlling the tempo early on. On the other side, the Yankees are tossing out Cam Schlittler after Will Warren was a late scratch. Stepping in on short notice against a lethal Phillies lineup that's desperate to wash away their recent skid, Schlittler is going to be under immense pressure right out of the gate. Expect Luzardo to outpitch Schlittler and lead Philadelphia back into the win column. Take the Phillies.
Nick Menken
2-Unit Play: MLB Take #922 TEX Rangers ML (+105) over SEA Mariners (8:05PM Friday, July 24th)
Huge divisional matchup in Arlington tonight with 1st and 2nd place in the AL West going head-to-head. Both these teams are coming off losses, and with just half a game separating them in the standings, there's plenty on the line. Seattle has Bryce Miller taking the bump, and on paper, his 2.27 ERA and 4-4 record look tough to beat. But this Rangers offense is starting to find its rhythm, especially on their home field. Texas is sending Gore out tonight (6-8, 4.80 ERA), and even though his surface stats aren't as flashy, he's got the talent to bring his best stuff in a big game like this and keep Seattle's lineup quiet. With Texas' bats starting to click and home-field advantage in their favor, this is a great bounce-back spot for the Rangers to take game two. I'm taking Texas to lock it down at home.
Nick Menken
2-Unit Play: MLB Take #903 CHI Cubs ML (+100) over PIT Pirates (6:40PM Friday, July 24th)
Divisional action in the NL Central tonight as the Cubs hit the road to PNC Park to open a three-game set against the Pirates. Pittsburgh’s offense has been swinging hot bats lately, but the value here sits with the Cubs and veteran left-hander Matthew Boyd. Boyd comes into this start on an impressive run, winning his last four outings and carrying a 6-1 record on the year. He's been incredibly reliable at settling games down, keeping hitters off-balance, and giving Chicago quality length every time he takes the mound. The Pirates turn to young righty Jared Jones. While Jones brings big velocity and potential, he’s only logged 40 innings on the season (2-1, 4.05 ERA) and faces a tough test against a disciplined Cubs lineup. Chicago dropped two of three in Detroit and needs a bounce-back win to kick off this road trip. Back Boyd to continue his winning streak and get the job done for Chicago at a great price.

Washington is 6th when it comes to on-base percentage, 1st in stolen bases, and 1st in home runs. We believe if Rodriguez loses his command, it could get really ugly for this Arizona defense. Arizona also has struggled on the road with a 23-27 record. Washington has struggled at home, which is another reason the public will jump on them. We think this is a perfect spot for Washington to start the next series strong and win game one against Arizona’s ace. Take the Nationals to win this game outright.

7-Unit Play: MLB Take #926 PHI Phillies ML (-135) over NYY Yankees (6:45PM Friday, July 24th)We are backing the Philadelphia Phillies on the moneyline tonight, targeting a strong bounce-back spot for them at Citizens Bank Park to open this interleague series. The main edge in game one lies on the mound with Philadelphia’s reliable lefty, Jesús Luzardo. Luzardo has been a steadying force for the Phillies' rotation all season, bringing a crisp 9-4 record and a sharp 3.43 ERA into tonight’s start. Taking the bump on his home field following that tough series against the Dodgers, Luzardo gives Philadelphia a big advantage in controlling the tempo early on. On the other side, the Yankees are tossing out Cam Schlittler after Will Warren was a late scratch. Stepping in on short notice against a lethal Phillies lineup that's desperate to wash away their recent skid, Schlittler is going to be under immense pressure right out of the gate. Expect Luzardo to outpitch Schlittler and lead Philadelphia back into the win column. Take the Phillies.

2-Unit Play: MLB Take #922 TEX Rangers ML (+105) over SEA Mariners (8:05PM Friday, July 24th)
Huge divisional matchup in Arlington tonight with 1st and 2nd place in the AL West going head-to-head. Both these teams are coming off losses, and with just half a game separating them in the standings, there's plenty on the line. Seattle has Bryce Miller taking the bump, and on paper, his 2.27 ERA and 4-4 record look tough to beat. But this Rangers offense is starting to find its rhythm, especially on their home field. Texas is sending Gore out tonight (6-8, 4.80 ERA), and even though his surface stats aren't as flashy, he's got the talent to bring his best stuff in a big game like this and keep Seattle's lineup quiet. With Texas' bats starting to click and home-field advantage in their favor, this is a great bounce-back spot for the Rangers to take game two. I'm taking Texas to lock it down at home.

2-Unit Play: MLB Take #903 CHI Cubs ML (+100) over PIT Pirates (6:40PM Friday, July 24th)
Divisional action in the NL Central tonight as the Cubs hit the road to PNC Park to open a three-game set against the Pirates. Pittsburgh’s offense has been swinging hot bats lately, but the value here sits with the Cubs and veteran left-hander Matthew Boyd. Boyd comes into this start on an impressive run, winning his last four outings and carrying a 6-1 record on the year. He's been incredibly reliable at settling games down, keeping hitters off-balance, and giving Chicago quality length every time he takes the mound. The Pirates turn to young righty Jared Jones. While Jones brings big velocity and potential, he’s only logged 40 innings on the season (2-1, 4.05 ERA) and faces a tough test against a disciplined Cubs lineup. Chicago dropped two of three in Detroit and needs a bounce-back win to kick off this road trip. Back Boyd to continue his winning streak and get the job done for Chicago at a great price.
