2025 will be no different, and now is the time to jump on board with a team of experts!

3 Unit Play. Take #907 Over 11.5 in Arizona @ Colorado (8:10p.m., Saturday, August 16 MLB.tv) The first two games have stayed under the posted total and thus I look for this game to be a little more high scoring. The over is due to hit, as Colorado gave up a ton of runs to the Blue Jays in their last home series. Chase Dollander has pitched better of late, but he still is just 2-9 on the year with a 6.35 E.R.A. and a 1.56 WHIP.
Robert Ferringo
1-Unit Play. Take #907 Arizona (-1.5, -110) over Colorado (8 p.m.)
Colorado doesn’t win two in a row very often and I don’t think they will here. Chase Dollander has an ERA of nearly 7.00 and has allowed 17 runs in his last 15 innings in Coors Field. Arizona should bounce back with a win here.
1-Unit Play. Take #903 Philadelphia (-135) over Washington (4 p.m.)
I had this number at -165 or -170 so there is build in value here. Nationals starter Cade Cavalli still has a lot to prove before we will consider him an MLB-caliber starter. He has faced the A’s and Royals but this is a big step up in class for him and I think he’s going to get hit hard by a Phils team that is 6-3 in their last nine against the Nationals.
1-Unit Play. Take #905 Milwaukee (-115) over Cincinnati (6:40 p.m.)
1-Unit Play. Take #914 Kansas City (-140) over Chicago White Sox (7 p.m.)
The Royals are 20-3 in their last 23 games against the White Sox after another win last night. The Royals have won three of four to get back to .500 and they are playing their best baseball of the season right now. The White Sox are 2-8 in their last 10 and this season can’t end fast enough for this group.
1-Unit Play. Take #917 Detroit (-105) over Minnesota (7 p.m.)
The Tigers have won the first two games of this series and I think they will keep kicking the Twins while they are down.

7-Unit Play. Take #917 Detroit Tigers (-115, moneyline) Over Minnesota (7 p.m., Saturday, August 16)
This Tigers team is starting to put it back together after terrible June, 3 straight wins including blowout last night as Detroit won 7-0. Twins on the other side are just 1-4 in last 5 and the offense has gone silent. Nice starting pitching edge for Detroit with Mize tonight. Take the Tigers to win on the moneyline on Saturday.

4-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 11.5 Colorado at Arizona (8:10 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 16)
The Diamondbacks’ Ryne Nelson has been hit hard in 3 of his last 4 road starts. The Rockies will be looking to build off a rare win yesterday. This will be a tough venue for Nelson as he makes the start at hitter-friendly Coors Field and it is going to be a warm weather day in Denver with highs topping out near 90. That helps the hitters and certainly I am looking for Chase Dollander to get hit hard. He has a 2-9 record on the season plus an ugly 9.37 ERA in his 8 home starts this season. The Diamondbacks were 9-3 last 12 games and averaged 6.2 runs per game in those dozen games before yesterday's loss. They will bounce back here against a sub-par starter and a rather weak bullpen while the Rockies also get to Nelson early and often! 4* OVER 11.5 in Colorado.
3-Unit Play. Take #903 Philadelphia (-140) Washington (4 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 16)
The Phillies Taijuan Walker has respectable numbers this season. He and the Phillies are undervalued here. The Phillies have a 44-27 record against teams with a losing record this season and the Nationals have a 22-41 record against teams with a winning record this season. The Nationals also are 14 games under .500 in their home games this season so this is a value line to have the much better overall team and, just like yesterday, look for the Phillies to pull away as this game goes on. Washington's Cade Cavalli has limited MLB experience and went 3-7 with a 6.09 ERA at the AAA level in the minors this year! The Phillies should roll here! 3* PHILADELPHIA -140.

4-Unit Play. Take Arizona Diamondbacks -175 over Colorado Rockies (Saturday @ 8:11pm est)
Note, 3*NFLX GOTY Today - great 1-0 start to the Football week with the Seahawks rolling and great 7*WNBA Winner with the Sparks/Wings Over. Let's keep crushing it in the WNBA and Football today, join for the NFL Card this week. We roll with the Diamondbacks here, let's pick up a great win here. Note, yes, Arizona is still searching to get into .500, but they are rolling right now, they do come off a rare loss as they were absolutely crushing it prior to the Rockies lost, you get Nelson who comes off one of his worst starts of the year, he desperately is looking for a win, so you get Arizona on a bounce-back, Nelson on a bounce-back and a Rockies team off a rare win who does not even have 40 wins this year, let's roll with the Diamondbacks to pick up a great win here

#905 Milwaukee (-120) over Cincinnati *6:40 EST
I am taking low hanging fruit here at this number? Yes, the Brewers are smoking hot and look unbeatable. They are tearing up the plate. They have Priester on the bump who is 5-0 his last 5 starts and averages 6 innings a game with a 3.30 ERA in those games. Did I mention this is why I am taking them at a small number? Preister is coming off his worst outing in a month and the Brew Crew still won that game against the Mets and he only went 4 innings so he is well rested and ripe for a bounceback.

4-Unit Play - #911-912 Texas/Toronto GAME TOTAL OVER 8.5 -120 (Saturday, August 16, 2025, 3:07pm ET)
Take Texas/Toronto GAME TOTAL OVER as my top MLB pick for Saturday afternoon. I expect the ball to be flying here today with this pitching matchup. Lauer has pitched well at home this season however as a starter he is allowed 10 home runs overall this season with opponents hitting .246 against him. Lauer did give up 2 home runs in his last outing and Corbin has given up 10 home runs in 11 starts on the road this season with opponents hitting .260 against him. Toronto has also hit .322 as a team lifetime against Corbin. Corbin has an ERA of 7.36 over his last two starts with opponents hitting .323 against him. I do expect Toronto to put up a big number here today but I also expect Lauer to give up the long ball. The last time Corbin pitched at Rogers Centre he gave up 10 hits and 6 earned runs in five innings of work with Toronto hitting .435 against him. Play the OVER.
2-Unit Play - #912 Toronto -160 over Texas (Saturday, August 16, 2025, 3:07pm ET)
Take Toronto on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Saturday. Corbin has given up 10 home runs in 11 starts on the road this season with opponents hitting .260 against him. Toronto has also hit .322 as a team lifetime against Corbin. Corbin has an ERA of 7.36 over his last two starts with opponents hitting .323 against him. I do expect Toronto to put up a big number here today and the last time Corbin pitched at Rogers Centre he gave up 10 hits and 6 earned runs in five innings of work with Toronto hitting .435 against him.

4-Unit Play: Take 905 Brewers -130 over Reds (6:40 p.m., Saturday, August 16)
I passed the Brewers yesterday due to Misiorowski’s status, making his first start since July and being on a pitch count. We looked smart for a while. But this team is so hot even an early 8-1 deficit could slow them down. I’m back on the red-hot Brewers today as they look to extend their runs to 14-0 and 39-9. Quinn Priester wasn’t at his best last time out but that was at home. He’s a tad better on the road and his team has won each of his last five road starts. Priester threw five innings of one run, two hit baseball in relief at this ballpark on June 4 and the righty has allowed just three earned runs and four hits in 11 IP in two career outings at Great American. Zack Littell goes for the Reds and he’s a pitch-to-contact righty with a 10.5% barrel rate facing a Brewers’ offense averaging 8.7 rpg in their last 10 against righties. I’m backing the Brewers. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

4-Unit Play - [912] Toronto Blue Jays -155 over Texas Rangers (8/16 | 3:07PM EST) This is a little juicy, but the Jays are 41-20 at home, compared to the Rangers who are 12 games below .500 on the road. Texas has been struggling by losing three-straight, and seven of the their last eight. These are two completely different teams in terms of talent and overall caliber. It's a must here.

3-Unit Play. Take #902 Chicago (NL) (-1.5, -115) over Pittsburgh (2:20 p.m. Saturday, August 16)
With the epic run the Brewers are on, winning the National League Central is probably out of the question for the Cubs, but they have playoff positioning that they will be battling multiple teams for. Shota Imanaga will be pitching for Chicago today and he has had plenty of success pitching at Wrigley Field. Imanaga has allowed just 4 earned runs over his last three starts at home spanning 18.2 innings and he has already shut out the Pirates over 5 innings in Pittsburgh earlier in the season. Michael Busch has been swinging a hot bat lately for the Cubs and they need Kyle Tucker to get it going as well who has not hit many home runs lately. Mike Burrows will have the ball for Pittsburgh and he has been knocked around in his last two starts allowing 10 earned runs and 4 home runs. I think the Cubs bounce back after dropping last night’s series opener and get the win in this one.

4 Unit Play Take #930 San Francisco -115 over Tampa Bay (9:05pm est):
San Francisco starter Justin Verlander has been a lot better of late as he's allowed 2 earned runs or less in 4 of his last 6 starts. The two starts where Verlander struggled he was hit hard by a ton of bad luck with his BABIP both times being over .550 for the game and this despite the fact his exit velocity in the game was at 89.0 miles per hour and lower.
Play San Francisco to win.
3 Unit Play Take #918 Minnesota -105 over Detroit (7:15pm est):
Minnesota goes with starter Zebby Matthews tonight in this one. Matthews is a guy I like a lot as he's looked improved his last couple starts and the big reason for that is he added a sinker to his arsenal over those past two outings.
Play Minnesota.
3 Unit Play Take #910 Los Angeles Dodgers -125 over San Diego (9:10pm est):
Los Angeles starter Blake Snell is starting to round into form after missing most of this season thus far. When Snell is on his game he can be as good as it gets. Snell is coming off an awesome outing last time out where he struck out 10 of the 21 hitters he faced and keep in mind that was against one of the best offenses in baseball (Toronto) while allowing zero earned runs in the game.
Take Los Angeles.
Thank you and good luck,

2 Unit Play - Take #902 The Chicago Cubs (-1.5, -110) Over The PIT Pirates. (2:20p.m, Saturday August 16th)
Chicago just lost yesterday outright to the Pirates in their most potent sequence. Wrigley Field, day game, and playing a divisional matchup. The Cubs are 36-23 at home, 3-7 in their last 10 games, and on a two-game losing streak. The come in a massive regression, but we believe this ends today. Shota is on the bump for Chicago with a 3.19 ERA, 79 strikeouts, and 17 walks. Mike Burrows is on the hill for PIT. Burrows is 1-4 on the year with a 4.66 ERA. Burrows is even more brutal on the road this season, and the Cubs have hammered him in the past. We believe this to be an absolute blowout here tonight and have no issue taking the Cubs' run line. This is a no-brainer/don't overthink type of situation.
Take The Chicago Cubs (-1.5, -110) Over The PIT Pirates.

2 Units: Take #903 PHI Phillies ML (-140) over WAS Nationals (4:05PM, Saturday, August 16th)
We have the Phillies back in the capital looking to take the weekend series here today from the Nationals. This is a good price we’re getting even with Walker on the mound today. With a 4-5 record on the season. He will be matched up against the Nationals' Cade Cavalli, with only 9 innings of work this season. Think this is going to be another offensive slugfest for the Phillies here on the road tonight. Take the Phillies over the Nationals today.

2 Units: Take #919 LA Angels ML (+105) over Athletics (10:05PM, Saturday, August 16th)
We are playing this game here strictly as a bounce-back game for the Angels with Tyler Anderson back on the mound. This Angels team was on a three-game winning streak before last night. Now I think it’s time for their bats to come alive here tonight against the Athletics’ Luis Morales. Who only has 4 innings of work this season. Take the Angels over the Athletics here tonight.

Play San Francisco to win.
3 Unit Play Take #918 Minnesota -105 over Detroit (7:15pm est):
Minnesota goes with starter Zebby Matthews tonight in this one. Matthews is a guy I like a lot as he's looked improved his last couple starts and the big reason for that is he added a sinker to his arsenal over those past two outings.
Play Minnesota.
3 Unit Play Take #910 Los Angeles Dodgers -125 over San Diego (9:10pm est):
Los Angeles starter Blake Snell is starting to round into form after missing most of this season thus far. When Snell is on his game he can be as good as it gets. Snell is coming off an awesome outing last time out where he struck out 10 of the 21 hitters he faced and keep in mind that was against one of the best offenses in baseball (Toronto) while allowing zero earned runs in the game.
Take Los Angeles.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

2 Unit Play - Take #902 The Chicago Cubs (-1.5, -110) Over The PIT Pirates. (2:20p.m, Saturday August 16th)Chicago just lost yesterday outright to the Pirates in their most potent sequence. Wrigley Field, day game, and playing a divisional matchup. The Cubs are 36-23 at home, 3-7 in their last 10 games, and on a two-game losing streak. The come in a massive regression, but we believe this ends today. Shota is on the bump for Chicago with a 3.19 ERA, 79 strikeouts, and 17 walks. Mike Burrows is on the hill for PIT. Burrows is 1-4 on the year with a 4.66 ERA. Burrows is even more brutal on the road this season, and the Cubs have hammered him in the past. We believe this to be an absolute blowout here tonight and have no issue taking the Cubs' run line. This is a no-brainer/don't overthink type of situation.
Take The Chicago Cubs (-1.5, -110) Over The PIT Pirates.

2 Units: Take #903 PHI Phillies ML (-140) over WAS Nationals (4:05PM, Saturday, August 16th)We have the Phillies back in the capital looking to take the weekend series here today from the Nationals. This is a good price we’re getting even with Walker on the mound today. With a 4-5 record on the season. He will be matched up against the Nationals' Cade Cavalli, with only 9 innings of work this season. Think this is going to be another offensive slugfest for the Phillies here on the road tonight. Take the Phillies over the Nationals today.

2 Units: Take #919 LA Angels ML (+105) over Athletics (10:05PM, Saturday, August 16th)
We are playing this game here strictly as a bounce-back game for the Angels with Tyler Anderson back on the mound. This Angels team was on a three-game winning streak before last night. Now I think it’s time for their bats to come alive here tonight against the Athletics’ Luis Morales. Who only has 4 innings of work this season. Take the Angels over the Athletics here tonight.
Take #919 LA Angels ML (+105) over Athletics
