4 Unit Play. Take #953 Cincinnati +105 over Miami (1:10p.m., Wednesday, April 23 MLB.tv) Just do not believe the Reds will get swept by the Marlins. Sany Alcantara has not been good early this season after coming back from a long injury. I see him struggling today as well as the Reds need a win to move closer to the .500 mark.

4-Unit Play. Take #976 Kansas City (-1.5) Over Colorado (7:40 p.m., Wednesday, April 23)

Royals have big starting pitching edge as Rockies starter Marquez has been downright pitiful on the road. Great +110 price on the KC run line winner, Take Kansas City Royals on the minus run line tonight.

The Royals had a two-run lead with two outs in the ninth and threw up on themselves, blowing the runline. I think they are the better team and right now no bet against the Rockies is a bad bet. They really might give the White Sox a run for their money as the worst team of this century.

5-Unit Play. #965. Take Over 8.5 Runs Toronto vs. Houston (Wednesday @ 7:40pm est)
Note, we are 4-0 for +2200 in the NBA Playoffs and we will try to make it 5 in a row today with a 5-unit selection as there is a reason why we have won 13 of 15 years in the NBA Playoffs. We roll with the Over here between these two teams. What you have here is a hungry Toronto team who will likely bounce-back here. Both these pitchers are on let downs as well so it makes perfect sense despite a strong era that they both struggle here. Toronto has lost 5 in a row coming in and they will be upset and of course, they can indeed be an active dog here and they will see some pitches to hit today as note that Houston has won 4 of 5 coming in, they will be down early in this game but they will come back as they have turned the ship and playing great right now including taking 2 of 3 from the Padres recently. You have Francis and Gusto here, Francis went 6 innings, 5 hits and 1 run against the lowly Marlins and we think he gets hit today on a let down and then Gusto did win his last game but went 5 innings, 9 hits and 2 runs and he's been getting lucky average more than 2 baserunnrs per inning and that can't hold up forever. Hence, we like the Over.

#954 MIAMI MARLINS -1.5, +170 (RunLine) Over Cincinnati Reds
(Wednesday, April 23, 2025, 1:10pm E) EARLY START
As the MLB season starts to settle in, the 10-12 Miami Marlins haven't been shown much love, and they're a darn good team this year. We like today's matchup and especially with Alcantara on the hill despite a couple of bad outings, I think he puts it together today. Miami has won the first 2 games here in this series and are undervalued. Let's pick up an early big win. ML -120 if you do not like the RL system play - but I see another 2+ run win.

4-Unit Play - #965 Toronto +100 over Houston (Wednesday, April 23, 2025, 7:40pm ET)
Take Toronto on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Wednesday night. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I really like this pitching matchup for Toronto here tonight. Francis is coming off a great start, actually his best start of the season giving up just one earned run in six innings against Seattle which came by way of a homerun with five strikeouts and just one walk. Opponents have hit just .200 against Francis over all the season with an on-base percentage of .286. Opponents have hit .273 against Gusto overall the season and .315 against him at home. Play Toronto moneyline
Scott Spreitzer
4-Unit Play: Take 970 A’s -105 over Rangers (10:05 p.m., Wednesday, April 23)
Corey Seager left Tuesday night’s game with a hamstring issue – he’s listed as questionable for the game which obviously could hamstring the Rangers if he’s not his normal self or can’t play. With that being the case, taking 4 HRs, a decent OPS, and a .290 batting average out of the lineup if he sits…means advantage A’s. Whether Seager plays or not, Kumar Rocker has been a mess on the road for Texas. A’s starter, JP Sears has pitched pretty well in 3 of 4 starts for the A’s and he doesn’t walk a lot of batters. Solid spot to back the Athletics. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
2-Unit Play: Take 976 Royals -1.5, +110 (Run Line) over Rockies (7:40 p.m., Wednesday, April 23)
The Rockies beat any of us who laid 1.5 runs with KC thanks to a Royals’ meltdown while leading 3-0 in the 9th. Colorado is 1-12 on the road with a minus-37 run differential and nine of the 12 losses came by more than one run. Rockies is going with Marquez on the hill and when has he not been a mess on the mound? Michael Lorenzen is scheduled for KC. He’s made one start at Kauffman as a Royal and it went well and he’s enjoyed the bump in KC as a visitor for years. I’m laying the run line with the Royals. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

4-Unit Play - [962] New York Yankees | Cleveland Cavaliers un8.5 -115 (04/23 | 1:10PM EST) I'm likely going to get a ton of shit for this as I've already released a free play on the over, but this is why it pays to be a premium client. Information changes throughout the day, and you always get the best stuff. However; this could still lose, and the over could hit; and then i'll find myself getting shit on the other side. It's a lose-lose in reality for me, but I have to stay true to my commitment to provide my clients with the best chance at winning. The weather pattern is changing at progressive field somewhat, and the number is shifting which is providing ample value on the under. Rodon has been solid with a 4.34 ERA and 3.31 xERA, while the Yankees offense is showing signs of fatigue. This is still a home-run hitting dangerous team, and Luis Ortiz has been borderline horrendous. However, everything points to the under and we have some sharp confirmation from some trusted groups we talk with.
4-Unit Play - [973] Baltimore Orioles -140 over Washington Nationals (04/23 | 6:45PM EST) Love this spot for the Orioles coming off the shutout loss last night. Recency bias is skewing the market as the Nats are 6-4 at home, with the O's only 4-7 on the road. However; we have no faith in Trevor Williams who has an awful 1.63 WHIP through four games leading to a 5.95 ERA vs. a weak strength of schedule. The jury is still out when it comes to Tomoyuki Sugano, but we feel he will be fine here. We're expecting a spirited effort from Baltimore who have been outscored 31-2 their last two games. Time to turn the corner.
4-Unit Play - [976] Colorado Rockies | Kansas City Royals un9 -120 (04/23 | 7:40PM EST) We failed on the over last night even though we had a chance in extra innings. Here we are switching angles so no doubt we'll see 10 runs in the first inning. There is more runs expected here based on wind blowing out to left, but our numbers disagree with how that will have an effect at Kauffman. German Marquez has a 8.27 ERA, but his xERA is down at 5.02. His numbers are not good, but his strength of schedule has been rough. He's faced off vs. the Dodgers, Padres, and Phillies. The Royals are a level below in offensive production, ranking 25th in xBA, 28th in xSLG, and 28th in xwOBA. Speaking of which; the Rockies are even worse ranking dead-last in all those categories. Lorenzen should be fine.

4-Unit Play. Take #960 San Francisco (-1.5, +160) over Milwaukee (9:45 p.m., Wednesday, April 23)
The Giants are going to be in a dog fight all season with the teams in their division so they need to win games and series like this one especially when its in San Francisco. Thankfully for them they have their ace Logan Webb on the mound who excels when he pitches in the Bay area. Webb has pitched just once at home this season and he was dominant not allowing a run on 4 hits while striking out 10 over 7 innings, and I think he can be just as effective in this matchup. Freddy Peralta has taken over the #1 spot in the rotation for Milwaukee and he has gotten off to a good start to his season. Peralta has pitched well on the road, but that hasn’t translated into wins as the Brewers have lost two of the three starts he has made away from Milwaukee. I like San Francisco to win this game and take the series.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

7 Unit Play Take #966 Houston -110 over Toronto (7:40pm est):
Houston starter Ryan Gusto is the exact kind of pitcher that I like to back this time of the year as he's flying way under the public's radar right now. The rookie right-hander has dynamite hit and miss stuff. He started this season off in the Houston bullpen but he recently joined the Astros starting rotation and has looked solid striking out 8 batters while allowing just one walk in his two starts. Gusto has a large arsenal of pitches to choose from and almost all of them are above average offerings.
Toronto counters with starter Bowden Francis in this one. Francis is nowhere near as good as his 2.91 career ERA. Francis has been a lot more lucky than good as his xERA sits at 6.50 this season compared to his 3.13 season ERA. Somehow his BABIP is the lowest in baseball since he entered the league in 2022 incluing this season at just .196 currently which again makes no sense considering Francis has also allowed the highest hard hit percentage among all pitchers with 20+ innings this season.
Take Houston to win this game.
3 Unit Play Take #969 Texas -105 over Oakland (10:05pm est):
Texas goes with starter Kumar Rocker in this one. I love the changes Rocker has made recently to his arsenal as he's started to rely much more on his awesome slider as he threw the pitch nearly 60% of the time in his last start and in doing so had his best looking outing of the year posting 8 strikeouts and no walks in 7 innings of action to go along with a 19% swinging strike rate. Rocker has also had his share of bad luck to begin the year as his ERA-FIP ranks in the top 10 biggest differential currently.
On the offensive side of things Texas recently got back two huge right-hand bats to their lineup after starting the season off without either one of them and that could be huge here going up against left-hander JP Sears tonight in this contest.
Play Texas in this game.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

4 Unit Play - Take #960 San Francisco (-140) Over Milwaukee. (9:45p.m, Wednesday, April 23rd)
San Francisco comes into this game 15-9 on the year and 5-5 in their last 10 games. San Francisco is currently 5-3 at home, while Milwaukee is 4-7 on the road. Logan Webb gets the start for San Francisco. Webb is 2-1 on the year, with 30 innings of work, a 2.40 ERA, 38 strikeouts, and 7 walks. Logan Webb is sensational on the rubber, and tonight he is backed up by an offense that is averaging 5 runs per game, ranking 6th in the MLB. Milwaukee is playing good baseball, but San Francisco has home-field advantage, the better pitcher, and a more potent offense. Let's eat the juice and take this game straight up.
Take #960 San Francisco (-140) Over Milwaukee.
Griffin Murphy
2 Unit Play - Take #970 Athletics (-110) Over Texas. (10:05p.m, Wednesday, April 23rd)
The Athletics come into this game backed up by JP Sears. Sears is 2-2 on the year, 23 innings of work with a stout 3.13 ERA, 18 strikeouts, and just 5 walks. Last season, Sears was with the Athletics and went a strong 11-13, 180 innings of work with a 4.38 ERA. That was when the Athletics were arguably the worst team in the MLB. This is a different team with a lot of pop in their offense. Seager is out for Texas tonight, which is a huge damper in their lineup, and they are backed up tonight by Kumar Rocker. Rocker is 1-2 on the year, with 18.1 innings of work and a high 6.38 ERA. I believe the Athletics will pound Kumar Rocker tonight and bring us a nice win with a flat -110 line.
Take #970 Athletics (-110) Over Texas.

4 Unit Play: Take #955 PHI Phillies ML over New York Mets (-125) (1:10p.m, Wednesday, April 23rd)
We have game two of this series starting here tonight against the Phillies and the New York Mets. The Mets took game one last night by a score of 5-1. Now the Phillies will have Zach Wheeler back on the mound with a 2-1 record this season in 31 innings of work with a 3.73 ERA. He is coming off a win in his last outing against the Miami Marlins, going 7 innings with 5 hits and 2 earned runs in that win. While the New York Mets will have David Petterson back on the mound with a 1-1 record on the season. Petterson has pitched 22 innings this season, with an ERA of 3.27. Petterson, against the Cardinals in his last start, went 5.1 innings of work with 5 hits and 3 earned runs. Now the Mets are playing in a day game here. In the past, the Mets in day games haven't performed as well as in night games. This is an early game here today between these two teams. In today's game against Petterson, I believe we will witness the Phillies' bats coming to life. Wheeler will take care of business and limit the damage. Take the Philadelphia Phillies moneyline over the New York Mets today.

Peralta has pitched well on the road, but that hasn’t translated into wins as the Brewers have lost two of the three starts he has made away from Milwaukee. I like San Francisco to win this game and take the series.

Wednesday April 23rd 2025-7 Unit Play Take #966 Houston -110 over Toronto (7:40pm est):
Houston starter Ryan Gusto is the exact kind of pitcher that I like to back this time of the year as he's flying way under the public's radar right now. The rookie right-hander has dynamite hit and miss stuff. He started this season off in the Houston bullpen but he recently joined the Astros starting rotation and has looked solid striking out 8 batters while allowing just one walk in his two starts. Gusto has a large arsenal of pitches to choose from and almost all of them are above average offerings.
Toronto counters with starter Bowden Francis in this one. Francis is nowhere near as good as his 2.91 career ERA. Francis has been a lot more lucky than good as his xERA sits at 6.50 this season compared to his 3.13 season ERA. Somehow his BABIP is the lowest in baseball since he entered the league in 2022 incluing this season at just .196 currently which again makes no sense considering Francis has also allowed the highest hard hit percentage among all pitchers with 20+ innings this season.
Take Houston to win this game.
3 Unit Play Take #969 Texas -105 over Oakland (10:05pm est):
Texas goes with starter Kumar Rocker in this one. I love the changes Rocker has made recently to his arsenal as he's started to rely much more on his awesome slider as he threw the pitch nearly 60% of the time in his last start and in doing so had his best looking outing of the year posting 8 strikeouts and no walks in 7 innings of action to go along with a 19% swinging strike rate. Rocker has also had his share of bad luck to begin the year as his ERA-FIP ranks in the top 10 biggest differential currently.
On the offensive side of things Texas recently got back two huge right-hand bats to their lineup after starting the season off without either one of them and that could be huge here going up against left-hander JP Sears tonight in this contest.
Play Texas in this game.
Thank you and good luck,

4 Unit Play - Take #960 San Francisco (-140) Over Milwaukee. (9:45p.m, Wednesday, April 23rd)San Francisco comes into this game 15-9 on the year and 5-5 in their last 10 games. San Francisco is currently 5-3 at home, while Milwaukee is 4-7 on the road. Logan Webb gets the start for San Francisco. Webb is 2-1 on the year, with 30 innings of work, a 2.40 ERA, 38 strikeouts, and 7 walks. Logan Webb is sensational on the rubber, and tonight he is backed up by an offense that is averaging 5 runs per game, ranking 6th in the MLB. Milwaukee is playing good baseball, but San Francisco has home-field advantage, the better pitcher, and a more potent offense. Let's eat the juice and take this game straight up.
Take #960 San Francisco (-140) Over Milwaukee.

2 Unit Play - Take #970 Athletics (-110) Over Texas. (10:05p.m, Wednesday, April 23rd)
The Athletics come into this game backed up by JP Sears. Sears is 2-2 on the year, 23 innings of work with a stout 3.13 ERA, 18 strikeouts, and just 5 walks. Last season, Sears was with the Athletics and went a strong 11-13, 180 innings of work with a 4.38 ERA. That was when the Athletics were arguably the worst team in the MLB. This is a different team with a lot of pop in their offense. Seager is out for Texas tonight, which is a huge damper in their lineup, and they are backed up tonight by Kumar Rocker. Rocker is 1-2 on the year, with 18.1 innings of work and a high 6.38 ERA. I believe the Athletics will pound Kumar Rocker tonight and bring us a nice win with a flat -110 line.
Take #970 Athletics (-110) Over Texas.

4 Unit Play: Take #955 PHI Phillies ML over New York Mets (-125) (1:10p.m, Wednesday, April 23rd)We have game two of this series starting here tonight against the Phillies and the New York Mets. The Mets took game one last night by a score of 5-1. Now the Phillies will have Zach Wheeler back on the mound with a 2-1 record this season in 31 innings of work with a 3.73 ERA. He is coming off a win in his last outing against the Miami Marlins, going 7 innings with 5 hits and 2 earned runs in that win. While the New York Mets will have David Petterson back on the mound with a 1-1 record on the season. Petterson has pitched 22 innings this season, with an ERA of 3.27. Petterson, against the Cardinals in his last start, went 5.1 innings of work with 5 hits and 3 earned runs. Now the Mets are playing in a day game here. In the past, the Mets in day games haven't performed as well as in night games. This is an early game here today between these two teams. In today's game against Petterson, I believe we will witness the Phillies' bats coming to life. Wheeler will take care of business and limit the damage. Take the Philadelphia Phillies moneyline over the New York Mets today.
