2 Unit Play. Take Atlanta (+1.5 RL) -120 over Milwaukee (7:15p.m., Friday, June 19 MLB.tv) The Braves are facing the Miz and thus are a big underdog despite playing this game at home. Atlanta has a better record than Milwaukee and they are well rested as they did not play yesterday. I think they will score some runs off the Miz and should be able to keep this a one run game either way.

3-Unit Play. Take #955 Pittsburgh (-130) over Colorado (8:40 p.m., Friday, June 19)
The Rockies aren’t nearly as bad as I thought they would be. But Kyle Freeland is somehow worse. He really looks like a guy mailing it in. He has allowed at least six runs in six of his last eight starts. That’s almost impossible in today’s MLB. He has an ERA approaching 10.00 in his last three starts and is somehow worse on the road than at home. Pittsburgh has been scuffling a bit lately but I think they will get back on track this weekend against the Rockies.
2-Unit Play. Take #964 Seattle (-110) over Boston (10 p.m., Friday, June 19)
Boston has lost four straight and eight of 10 and they are a mess right now. Bryce Miller has looked outstanding lately, with three of his last five starts featuring at least five innings and only one hit. He allowed two solo HRs his last time out. But over his last three starts he has gone 19 innings, allowing just six hits, nine base runners and two earned runs. He has won four straight starts and should dominate here.
1-Unit Play. Take #966 Chicago Cubs (-115) over Toronto (2 p.m., Friday, June 19)
The Cubs always get a boost playing at home on Friday afternoon. Toronto has not been good on the road this year and they are still below .500. The Cubs have been putrid over the last month but I think they show up here.
1-Unit Play. Take #970 Tampa Bay (-120) over Washington (6:40 p.m., Friday, June 19)
The only reason this isn’t a bigger play is because this moneyline is so far off. This one should be around -145. But I’m still going to back the better team, playing at home.

The Red Sox are struggling (14 games under .500, -0.18 run differential). Seattle holds a huge pitching edge with Miller dominating tonight. Take the Mariners on the moneyline.

3-Unit Play. Take #953 Milwaukee Brewers -165 at Atlanta Braves (7:15 p.m., Fri, June 19)
I disagree with the downward line move here. With Brewers now in the -165 range, the money line is a great option here. Milwaukee is 7-1 in Misiorowski's last 8 starts and he has allowed a total of only 1 earned run in those 5 starts. The Braves have lost 6 of their last 7 games and also 3 straight games and this one makes it 4 in a row. Braves have not been hitting well and Misiorowski has been phenomenal on the mound.
3-Unit Play. Take #959/960 'Over' 8.5 (-105) Cleveland at Houston (8:05 p.m., Fri, June 19)
The Astros Imai has been inconsistent this season and couldn't make it out of the first inning in his most recent starts. The Guardians Bibee has a 4.54 ERA on the road this season and though he is off to a good start in June he struggled in May and went winless and allowed 10 earned runs in 9 innings over his final two starts. This one will surprise people but both Bibee and Imai are going to get lit up here.
3-Unit Play. Take #955/956 'Over' 11.5 (-105) Pittsburgh at Colorado (8:40 p.m., Fri, June 19)
The Pirates Chandler is 2-7 with a 4.76 ERA this season and is a 23 year old pitcher making his first ever start at Coors Field. That is a tough assignment and this one should be a slugfest as Pittsburgh also hits well. Colorado is starting Kyle Freeland and he is 1-7 with a 7.98 ERA this season. He has a horrible May and is off to a tough start to June so no sign of things turning around for him anytime soon.

4-Unit Play. #952. Take Miami Marlins -115 over San Francisco Giants (Friday @ 7:10pm est)
Note, 4-0 WNBA Run and we go for 5 straight winners today and 3 straight MLB Winners Today! We roll with Miami here as they hook up against San Fran. What you have here is a Miami team who I think gets up after a loss in their last game, you get a bullpen type game where Miami is going to be throwing various pitchers at San Fran which they cannot get a beat on and as San Fran comes off sweeping my Braves, we like them to have a monumental let down against these Marlins who they definitely will no get up for. Also, Roupp has lost his last 8 straight starts and has not put together back/back quality starts in ages.

#973 St Louis (-120) over Kansas City
8:15 EST
Huge blow to KC last night, their best weapon on offense and their best player Bobby Witt Jr went down to a knee injury. How bad we do not know but he is out tonight. As a Royals fan personally, that is crushing to any chances they have this this season. Bear in mind that Pasquantino is still out for KC as well.
Seth Lugo on the bump for KC after sitting out last game with a head injury, and he has been hit and miss this season, but a decent option for them. However I like McGreevy on the bump for St Louis more, with a season long ERA of 2.99, and he pitches to a lot of ground balls. KC has not seen him this season and they have played St Louis 4 times. KC's offense was on fire yesterday but losing Witt will affect this team tonight, and against a good pitcher, in the I-70 series which is always intense, I will side with St. Louis off an embarrassing 14-6 blowout loss to exact some revenge and even it up tonight. I do not trust KC's bullpen here tonight.

4-Unit Play: #965–966 Toronto/Chicago GAME TOTAL UNDER 7+100 (Friday, June 19, 2026, 2:20pm ET)
Take Toronto/Chicago GAME TOTAL UNDER as my top MLB pick for Friday afternoon. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I really like this pitching matchup for a low scoring game today. Brown has pitched lights out at home this season with an ERA of 2.05 and opponents are hitting just .202 against him. He has also pitched great in day games with an ERA of just 1.21 and opponents hitting just .158 against him. Brown has an ERA of just 1.16 over his last four starts with opponents hitting just .185 against him. Opponents have hit just .178 against Brown as a starter this season with an on-base percentage of just .254. Chicago has hit just .169 as a team lifetime against Gausman with an on-base percentage of just .225 in 83 lifetime at bats against him. Gausman has an era of just 2.16 in 7-day game starts this season with opponents hitting just .203 against him. Play the UNDER

7-Unit Play: Take 953 Brewers -1.5, EV (RL) over Braves (7:15 p.m., Friday, June 19)
The Braves have struggled recently, dropping six of their last seven games while scoring only 22 total runs during that stretch. Martin Perez has four starts in his seven appearances at home and has pitched well, but he hasn't been operating at the level of Jacob Misiorowski. The Brewers' right-hander has been dominant, allowing just one earned run while surrendering only 28 baserunners across his last eight starts (54.1 innings). During that span, he has recorded 80 strikeouts and has not allowed a home run in his last 11 starts. Milwaukee is 11-0 against the run line in its last 11 victories with Misiorowski on the mound. Given the current form of both teams and the pitching matchup, I'm backing the Brewers on the run line Friday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

7-Unit Play. Take #968 New York (AL) (-1.5, -125) over Cincinnati (7:05 p.m. Friday, June 19)
The Yankees have been without Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Trent Grisham but they haven’t skipped a beat winning eight of their last ten contests and I think they are going to start this series off with a win. Cam Schlittler has been New York’s best pitcher so far this season as he is 7-1 with a 1.82 ERA over 15 starts. Schlittler has allowed just 8 earned runs over his last 5 starts (27.2 IP) at home and I think he can limit the Reds offense who has been up and down for most of the season. Rhett Lowder is going to take the ball for Cincinnati and even though he has 2 wins on the road he hasn’t been sharp as his ERA is 5.84 across 24.2 innings. New York has been getting great contributions from everyone in their lineup and I think that will happen again in this matchup. Take the Yankees here.

7 Unit Play Take #964 Seattle -110 over Boston (10:10pm est):
Boston has been one of the bigger disappointments in baseball so far this year losing their followers more than 16 units overall. The Red Sox offense ranks in the bottom three of the league in wRC+ overall. They go with starter Ranger Suarez in this one. Suarez got off to a great start this season but he's came back down to earth a bit of late posting a 5.07 ERA in his last four starts.
On the other side of things Seattle hands the baseball here to starter Bryce Miller in this one. Miller missed the early part of the 2026 season but he's healthy now and looks great this year. His velocity is way up this season and his ERA is just 1.54 overall. The Mariners got off to a slow start but have played better of late winning 8 of their last 10 home games.
Take Seattle.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

1 Unit Play - Take #960 HOU Astros (-125) Over CLE Guardians. (8:10p.m, Friday, June 19th)
This is a spot where Cleveland should get huge public money on a plus-value play. Tanner Bibee gets the start for Cleveland with a 2-7 record but a strong 3.96 ERA. Bibbee struggles on the road compared to home with a 1-3 road record and a high 4.54 ERA. We expect Houston to attack him in this one after cleaning up back-to-back wins at home against Detroit. This is a strong spot for Houston here, while Cleveland is entering a back-to-back road series. We will take the Astros here straight up.

6-Unit Play: MLB Take #966 CHC Cubs ML (-120) over TOR Blue Jays (2:20PM, Friday, June 19th)
While the public might look at the Toronto Blue Jays' current three-game winning streak and expect them to carry that momentum on the road, the situational dynamics point directly to a massive structural edge for the North Siders on Friday afternoon. The metrics highlight a brutal scheduling bottleneck for the visitors. The Blue Jays are walking straight into a quick-turnaround matinee game after playing a grueling, high-intensity 4-3 battle in Boston last night. Traveling directly from Fenway into a Friday day game at Wrigley leaves Toronto with zero recovery time. The Cubs, conversely, haven't had to pack a single suitcase, remaining comfortably at home after a highly successful stretch where they took two out of three games from the Rockies. Chicago also rolls out its absolute biggest weapon on the mound today. Rising All-Star candidate Ben Brown is having a sensational breakout season, boasting a pristine 3-2 record alongside a dominant 1.74 ERA. Armed with an overpowering fastball-knuckle curve combination and a newly developed sinker, Brown has a heavy tactical advantage to keep a tired Blue Jays lineup completely off-balance from the opening frame. While veteran Kevin Gausman (4-4, 3.41 ERA) takes the ball for Toronto following a stellar performance against the Yankees, his underlying road metrics are far less convincing than his home splits. A re-energized Cubs offense is finally finding its stride and possesses a prime opportunity to strike Gausman early while he battles the quick travel turnaround. Expect Chicago's rested lineup and dominant starting pitching to dictate the tempo entirely. Take the Chicago Cubs on the moneyline to protect their home dirt and take game one.

Friday June 19th 2026-7 Unit Play Take #964 Seattle -110 over Boston (10:10pm est):
Boston has been one of the bigger disappointments in baseball so far this year losing their followers more than 16 units overall. The Red Sox offense ranks in the bottom three of the league in wRC+ overall. They go with starter Ranger Suarez in this one. Suarez got off to a great start this season but he's came back down to earth a bit of late posting a 5.07 ERA in his last four starts.
On the other side of things Seattle hands the baseball here to starter Bryce Miller in this one. Miller missed the early part of the 2026 season but he's healthy now and looks great this year. His velocity is way up this season and his ERA is just 1.54 overall. The Mariners got off to a slow start but have played better of late winning 8 of their last 10 home games.
Take Seattle.

A re-energized Cubs offense is finally finding its stride and possesses a prime opportunity to strike Gausman early while he battles the quick travel turnaround. Expect Chicago's rested lineup and dominant starting pitching to dictate the tempo entirely. Take the Chicago Cubs on the moneyline to protect their home dirt and take game one.
