7 Unit Play. Take #974 Texas -165 over Cincinnati (8:05p.m., Friday, April 26 MLB.tv) The Reds were shutout yesterday and now travel to Texas to face another strong pitcher in Natan Eovaldi. He has a solid 3.30 E.R.A. on the season and I look forward to a strong showing on Friday after he struggled against the Braves last time out. His counterpart, Graham Ashcraft has been hit hard most of the season. Two of his last three starts he has given up five earned runs in just over five innings of work. The Reds have taken advantage of a soft schedule to open the season and expect them to struggle on this road trip starting tonight.

2-Unit Play. Take #972 Atlanta (-1.5, -110) over Cleveland (7 p.m., Friday, April 26)
The Braves have been fantastic at home this year and I think that Cleveland has been playing over its head. Chris Sale has been sharp and I think that he’s going to keep it going against this group. Atlanta has been excellent against left-handed pitching over the last several years. They have gotten off to a bit of a slow start against southpaws this season but it is only a matter of time before they get it going.

4-Unit Play. #970. Take Boston Redsox -105 over Chicago Cubs (Friday @ 7:10pm est)
Note, we have a 7* Soccer Selection today at 2:30pm eastern which we are very excited about. It make sense for us to back Boston here as this team comes off a 4-6 loss to Cleveland, they are playing well right now, they swept the Pirates recently and have not lost back to back games in some time and we absolutely love the Cubs stud here to have a massive let down in Fenway as it is very difficult to pitch there for the first time and he likely gets rocked by a Boston team who will more than get up to face him today. Crawford has been spectacular with a sub 1 era so far and we love Boston to get it done today.

#956 San Diego Padres +100 Over Philadelphia (Friday, April 26, 2024, 9:40 pm E)
The San Diego Padres have high hopes to go deep into the 2024 Playoffs, but if that's going to happen, they're going to have to do better than .500 baseball. They sit at 14-14 right now and have a key series with the 16-10 Philadelphia Phillies this weekend. Even with that record, the Phillies are 2.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves. Aaron Nola and his 3-1 record and 3.16 ERA goes for the Phillies, while Joe Musgrove and his 3-2 record and 5.74 ERA gets the nod for the Padres. San Diego has a Division fight of their own, as they sit 2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and need to start putting some series-wins together. That makes the first game of a 3- game series very vital and they'll do whatever they have to, to win this first game of these 3-games.
3-Unit Play:
#970 Boston Red Sox -1.5, +190 Over Chicago Cubs (Friday, April 26, 2024, 7:10 pm E)
The Chicago Cubs at 16-9 are a much improved ballclub, but they still have some proving to do, to show that they're equals with the 14-12 Boston Red Sox. The Cubbies are swinging the bats well, with a .739 OPS, which puts them 7th in the league but tonight they contend with right-hander Kutter Crawford and his 1-0 record and 0.66 ERA. That's going to be a chore and the Sox have been hitting it well, too. They're averaging 4.46 runs per game and are very aggressive at the plate and on the bases. Look for a solid effort as they win the first game of this 3-game series.

4-Unit Play - #960 Detroit -120 over Kansas City (Friday, April 26, 2024, 1:00 pm ET)
Take Detroit on the Moneyline as my top MLB pick for Friday afternoon. This pick falls into 1 of my top MLB systems and I really like this pitching matchup for Detroit here today. Detroit’s bullpen has also been solid at home this season with an ERA of 2.09 and Detroit has averaged 5.3 runs per game over their last 7 games. Olson has pitched much better than his record indicates this season and he has an ERA of 1.42 in his only start at home this season. Play Detroit Moneyline as we move to 20-8 on the MLB season.

3-Unit Play: Take 963 Rays -1.5, -135 (run line) over White Sox (7:40 p.m., Friday, April 26)
The stat of the year through the first month of the season belongs to the White Sox. Well, many negative stats for that matter but this one really stands out. Chicago is 0-5 in games Flexen has pitched (three starts), losing by a combined score of 37-1. His team can’t hit, currently in last or second to last in every metric I care about at home against righties. And the Sox are 3-16 against the run line in their last 19 losses. Tampa has fared quite well on the road against righties this season and the Rays should do more than enough damage to back Zach Eflin and the Rays’ pen. I’m backing the Rays on the run line. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
4-Unit Play: Take 975 Yankees -120 (First 5 Innings) over Brewers (8:10 p.m., Friday, April 26)
Luis Gil has fantastic numbers including a 0.0% barrel rate and 21.6% hard hit rate. He’s backed at the plate by an offense ranked in the top-10 in the key metrics I value the most on the road against righties. That offense will face a pitcher ripe for negative regression. Colin Rea has a 2.08 ERA but an xERA of 6.09 and an ERA north of 5.00 the first time through a batting order. Both pens are decent so I’ll eliminate them and make it a first five innings play on the Yankees. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

2 Unit Play. Take #954 N.Y. Mets -125 over St. Louis (7:10 p.m. ET, Friday, April 26)
After losing tree straight on their road trip and scoring three total runs, the Mets offense awoke and tallied 10 runs in Frisco be heading home. That could rejuvenate New York and Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas has a 6.49 ERA. The St. Louis offense is lagging at 3.5 RPG and they are 6-17 in road games after six or more consecutive home games since 2022.
2 Unit Play. Take #973 Cincinnati +150 over Texas (8:05 p.m. ET, Friday, April 26)
Texas is only 6-7 at home and has dropped two straight series overall. Cincinnati has won four of six and though they are big underdogs, the Rangers are 1-8 with a team slugging percentage .390 or lower against an NL foe. Add in Reds starter G. Ashcroft and Cincy is 7-1 as a road underdog of +150 or more the last two seasons and we have a live underdog.
2 Unit Play. Take #962 Baltimore -120 (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (7:05 p.m. ET, Friday, April 26)
Oakland probably feels good getting a split with the Yankees despite scoring only 11 runs in four games. It won’t be as simple tonight against Corbin Burnes (2.76 ERA, Birds 5-0). A’s starter Ross Stripling is winless at 0-5 with an ERA north of 5.0. With Stripling 3-13 against the run line in road games vs. teams outscoring foe by 0.5 or more RPG in his career (Team's Record), it’s the Birds on the RL.

[MLB] [4-Unit] (968) Toronto Blue Jays +105 over Los Angeles Dodgers (7:07PM EST) We project Chris Bassitt to go under 5.5 hits allowed based on our prop model. FWIW; whenever a SP allows 5 hits or less, backing that team has produced a +18% ROI on the blind. Now; I know that data will also include times where SP's managed no hitters, or just one or two hits; but even if we look at situations where 4 or 5 hits were allowed then we still see a +11.0% ROI. What's also interesting about this trend is when it's vs. the Dodgers it shows a 21% ROI. Obviously; we have no guarantees that Bassitt will actually go under 5.5 hits, but it's our projection and something we can trust more often than not. We also show value on the Jays from a pure metric standpoint and value perspective. Let's roll.
[MLB] [4-Unit] (964) Chicago White Sox +205 over Tampa Bay Rays (7:40PM EST) Will the White Sox ever win again? Probably not; but we're clearly sick in the head and need professional help. Chicago are coming off a four-game reverse sweep at the hands of the Twins, which concluded losing to a Triple-A pitcher despite holding a lead after the first 5 innings. Rough stuff. However; the data points towards a solid buy-spot here. For example; in database history, home dogs in Game 1 of a new series after being swept in a four-game series have produced a +9.9% ROI on the blind. This improves to an absurd +53.4% ROI when listed above +150, and an even more ridiculous +64.2% ROI when above +195/+200. Also; are the Rays even a good baseball team this season? They're 13-13 and have lost three of their last four. They've struggled to mount much offense as well scoring just 2.33 runs per game their L/6 prior to the 7 run outburst on Wednesday. Besides; sportsbooks aren't stupid - they don't just donate money to players. It's not like the Rays should be -300 here. Value is on the dogs, but we might need a few drinks.

3-Unit Play. Take #972 Atlanta (-1.5, -100) over Cleveland (7:20 p.m., Wednesday, April 26)
Tonight’s matchup will feature the two teams with the best records in all of baseball and I think the home team is going to get the job done. Chris Sale will be on the mound for the Braves and he is off to a good start with his new club winning two of his first four starts. Sale continues to prove he can miss bats as he has had at least 6 strikeouts in each start and I think he will sit down plenty of the Guardians hitters in this contest. Logan Allen is 3-0 for Cleveland, but has benefited from some good run support more than him pitching really well. Allen’s ERA is over 5 and three of those starts were against the Athletics and White Sox, whereas the Braves offense packs much more of a punch than those. I think Atlanta keep their winning streak alive and gets another victory here.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

3 Unit Play Take #967 Los Angeles Dodgers -115 over Toronto (7:07pm est):
This sets up as a great matchup for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Toronto hands the baseball here to starter Chris Bassitt. The 35 year-old veteran right-hander doesn't look like he's the same pitcher this season that he has been in past years as he comes into this game ranked currently in the bottom 10% of all pitchers in xERA this season (20 IP minimum). Bassitt relies heavily on his sinker and no team in baseball has been better offensively against that particular pitch the last two seasons than this LA Dodgers team that Bassitt goes up against here tonight.
The Dodgers will counter in this one with starter Gavin Stone. The 25 year-old right-hander has an ugly 6.00 ERA to start this season but don't be fooled by this as his FIP is actually nearly three full runs lower at just 3.03 overall meaning he's undervalued right now in a big way. You also rarely see the Dodgers in this type of price range as they've been favored in EVERY game so far this season in 2024 and they've only been lined below -125 in a game just one time this season. Keep in mind also that the Dodgers have won 100+ games four regular seasons in a row and it's five straight if you count their incredible 2020 covid season win percentage as well.
Take the Los Angeles Dodgers in this contest.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

4 Unit Play - Take Boston (-110) Over Chicago. (7:10p.m, Friday, April 26th)
Boston rolls into this matchup 14-12 on the season, 5-5 in their last 10 games, and coming off a loss on Thursday. Boston just dealt with a very strong Cleveland ballclub, so the strength of the schedule has a significant impact here. Boston is just 3-7 at Fenway Park this season, so they are due for an upward surge. Chicago is 16-9 on the season, 7-3 in their last 10 games, and on a three-game win streak. Kutter Crawford will get the start for Boston. Crawford is 1-0 on the season, with 27 innings pitched, a 0.66 ERA, 30 strikeouts, and just 11 walks. Boston is in a good spot here; both Bellinger and Suzuki will be out tonight for Chicago, which is a gigantic impact for this offense.
Take Boston (-110) Over Chicago.

3 Unit Play - Take Arizona (-130) Over Seattle. (9:40p.m, Friday, April 26th)
Arizona rolls into this game 12-14 on the season, 4-6 in their last 10 games, and coming off a loss on Wednesday to St. Louis. Seattle is now 7-3 in their last 10 games, 13-12 on the season, and coming off a win last night against Texas. Zac Gallen will get started tonight for Arizona. Glanne is 3-1 on the season, with 27 innings pitched, a 3.00 ERA, 32 strikeouts, and 8 walks. Gallen is coming off his worst start of the season, and I expect a heavy bounceback day for him. Seattle ranks just 24th in the MLB when it comes to offensive runs per game, averaging just 3.7 runs. Seattle is also 23rd in batting average, 22nd in on-base percentage, 24th in slugging percentage, and 20th in home runs. I don't see how Seattle is going to get runs across the plate tonight. Meanwhile, Arizona is 2nd in baseball when it comes to offensive production, and as mentioned, tonight they are backed by Gallen.
Take Arizona (-130) Over Seattle.

Sale continues to prove he can miss bats as he has had at least 6 strikeouts in each start and I think he will sit down plenty of the Guardians hitters in this contest. Logan Allen is 3-0 for Cleveland, but has benefited from some good run support more than him pitching really well. Allen’s ERA is over 5 and three of those starts were against the Athletics and White Sox, whereas the Braves offense packs much more of a punch than those. I think Atlanta keep their winning streak alive and gets another victory here.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

Friday April 26th 2024-3 Unit Play Take #967 Los Angeles Dodgers -115 over Toronto (7:07pm est):
This sets up as a great matchup for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Toronto hands the baseball here to starter Chris Bassitt. The 35 year-old veteran right-hander doesn't look like he's the same pitcher this season that he has been in past years as he comes into this game ranked currently in the bottom 10% of all pitchers in xERA this season (20 IP minimum). Bassitt relies heavily on his sinker and no team in baseball has been better offensively against that particular pitch the last two seasons than this LA Dodgers team that Bassitt goes up against here tonight.
The Dodgers will counter in this one with starter Gavin Stone. The 25 year-old right-hander has an ugly 6.00 ERA to start this season but don't be fooled by this as his FIP is actually nearly three full runs lower at just 3.03 overall meaning he's undervalued right now in a big way. You also rarely see the Dodgers in this type of price range as they've been favored in EVERY game so far this season in 2024 and they've only been lined below -125 in a game just one time this season. Keep in mind also that the Dodgers have won 100+ games four regular seasons in a row and it's five straight if you count their incredible 2020 covid season win percentage as well.
Take the Los Angeles Dodgers in this contest.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

4 Unit Play - Take Boston (-110) Over Chicago. (7:10p.m, Friday, April 26th)Boston rolls into this matchup 14-12 on the season, 5-5 in their last 10 games, and coming off a loss on Thursday. Boston just dealt with a very strong Cleveland ballclub, so the strength of the schedule has a significant impact here. Boston is just 3-7 at Fenway Park this season, so they are due for an upward surge. Chicago is 16-9 on the season, 7-3 in their last 10 games, and on a three-game win streak. Kutter Crawford will get the start for Boston. Crawford is 1-0 on the season, with 27 innings pitched, a 0.66 ERA, 30 strikeouts, and just 11 walks. Boston is in a good spot here; both Bellinger and Suzuki will be out tonight for Chicago, which is a gigantic impact for this offense.
Take Boston (-110) Over Chicago.

3 Unit Play - Take Arizona (-130) Over Seattle. (9:40p.m, Friday, April 26th)
Arizona rolls into this game 12-14 on the season, 4-6 in their last 10 games, and coming off a loss on Wednesday to St. Louis. Seattle is now 7-3 in their last 10 games, 13-12 on the season, and coming off a win last night against Texas. Zac Gallen will get started tonight for Arizona. Glanne is 3-1 on the season, with 27 innings pitched, a 3.00 ERA, 32 strikeouts, and 8 walks. Gallen is coming off his worst start of the season, and I expect a heavy bounceback day for him. Seattle ranks just 24th in the MLB when it comes to offensive runs per game, averaging just 3.7 runs. Seattle is also 23rd in batting average, 22nd in on-base percentage, 24th in slugging percentage, and 20th in home runs. I don't see how Seattle is going to get runs across the plate tonight. Meanwhile, Arizona is 2nd in baseball when it comes to offensive production, and as mentioned, tonight they are backed by Gallen.
Take Arizona (-130) Over Seattle.
