Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Mariners/Astros OVER 9
The Houston Astros really profile as an OVER team this season. They have gone 27-15-1 OVER in all games while scoring 4.6 runs per game and allowing 5.7 runs per game. They have the worst bullpen in baseball with a 6.02 ERA this season.
The Mariners scored 10 runs on Houston yesterday and should stay hot today. Lance McCullers has been one of the worst starters in baseball this season. He is 2-3 with a 7.41 ERA in seven starts, allowing 28 earned runs in 34 innings. McCullers has allowed 10 earned runs in 7 innings in his last two starts against Seattle.
Bryce Miller will be making his first start of the season for the Mariners and will be on a pitch count. Miller went 5-6 with a 5.25 ERA in 21 starts last season, allowing 61 earned runs and 18 homers in 104 2/3 innings. The Astros should get their bats going tonight as well. Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

Jeff Alexander
1* MLB - Mariners/Astros FREE PICK on Mariners -121
Jimmy Boyd
1* Free Pick on Diamondbacks +107
Arizona is catching the Rangers at the perfect time in this series. The Diamondbacks have won four of their last five games and the energy in that dugout is peaking.
Texas is struggling to find any consistency at the plate right now. They are hitting just .218 as a team over the last week and have been particularly bad against right-handed power pitchers.
The Diamondbacks have a massive edge on the mound tonight. Their starter has been much better than his surface numbers suggest, with a FIP sitting a full run lower than his actual ERA.
He is due for some serious positive regression tonight. This Rangers lineup is chasing way too many pitches out of the zone lately and the strikeout numbers are climbing.
Arizona’s bullpen is also coming into this game fully rested. Texas had to burn three high-leverage arms in their tough loss last night and the fatigue is going to show late in this game.
Look for the Diamondbacks to exploit the Rangers' middle relief in the seventh and eighth innings. Texas currently ranks in the bottom five of the league in bullpen ERA and lead the majors in blown saves this month.
Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte are both locked in at the top of the order. They have a combined six multi-hit games over the last week and are creating havoc on the basepaths.
Arizona is 12-5 in their last 17 games as a road underdog. They thrive in this spot where the books are giving us plus money on the more disciplined team.
The value is clearly on the visitors to keep their momentum rolling in Arlington. Texas simply doesn't have the pitching depth to keep up with the Diamondbacks' current offensive pace.
I like the Diamondbacks ML (+107)
I have six premium selections released for today’s action across the MLB, PGA, and WNBA boards. My full card and long-term subscription options are available for viewing on my handicapper profile.

Giants vs Dodgers MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): The Los Angeles Dodgers have dropped four straight and are creeping into “chase” territory, if that’s your thing. As for me, this looks like a prime bounce-back spot. They draw left-hander Robbie Ray who has a 2.76 ERA on the season, but note that Los Angeles tagged him for 12 runs on 14 hits over 14 2/3 innings last season.
The Bet: Dodgers -1½ (3%).

How We Handicap MLB Games
You haven’t bet on baseball before? Do you want to get started? Good, then we recommend taking a moment to read our tips for betting on MLB games. The article covers all the different types of wagers and odds you will come across.
We also put together a guide for handicapping baseball. It is a must for anyone who is trying to bet on baseball and be successful at it. This page gives you the information you need to beat the books. You will learn everything from parlay strategies to underdog systems.
The key to handicapping baseball is the starting pitchers. Ace versus ace games play out much differently than when teams are forced to use a spot starter or a bullpen game.
Our experts dig into recent form, strikeout-to-walk ratios, pitch counts, home/road splits, and more to evaluate who has the edge on the mound. Beyond just the starters, they look at bullpen strength and usage. If teams are coming off multiple extra-inning games or have overworked relievers, they are going to be vulnerable to giving up a late lead.
You can’t just look at arms, though; offense is needed to put runs on the board. We look at lineup matchups, platoon splits, and situational hitting stats. Ballpark factors also come into play. When you add in weather, travel schedules, and momentum, a complete picture starts coming together. By weighing all of these factors together, our handicappers can spot value and deliver expert MLB predictions you can trust.
Don’t hesitate to contact us via email at jimmy@boydsbets.com. We would be more than happy to take a few moments out of our day to answer any questions that you might have.
