Major League Baseball Consensus Bets of the Day
Dave Price
Dave's Sunday Free Play:
1* on Los Angeles Angels -101
The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Los Angeles Angels today considering the big edge they have on the rubber. Yusei Kikuchi is one of the more underrated starters in the majors. He has 22 strikeouts in 24 innings while making it through the 6th inning in each of his 4 starts this year. He yielded only 2 ER in 7 1/3 innings with 13 strikeouts in his last start against the Giants which came last year. Justin Verlander is done for. He has yielded 14 ER and 3 HR in 18 2/3 innings in 4 starts this year. Verlander yielded 6 ER in 4 2/3 innings in his last start against the Angels last season. Take Los Angeles.

PSP Data Driven 1* Rockies.
At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.
Our models suggest that the value is on the Underdog. Washington is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games. Washington is 4-15 SU in its last 19 games on the road.
Mike Williams
1* on Dodgers -146
Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Sunday: San Diego Padres +115
The San Diego Padres will be highly motivated for a win tonight and avoid the sweep after dropping the first two games of this series to the Houston Astros. It's rare you'll get the opportunity to back Dylan Cease as an underdog, and we'll take advantage tonight.
Cease went 14-11 with a 3.47 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 33 starts in his first season for the Padres with 224 K's in 189 1/3 innings. Cease has owned the Astros, going 1-0 with a 0.44 ERA and 0.48 WHIP in his last three starts against them, allowing just one earned run and 10 base runners in 20 2/3 innings.
Framber Valdez consistently gets too much respect from the books. He has allowed 12 earned runs in 9 innings in two starts against the Cardinals and Giants this season. Valdez has allowed 5 earned runs in 13 innings in his last two starts against San Diego. Bet the Padres Sunday.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Royals/Tigers UNDER 7
The Kansas City Royals have scored 4 runs or fewer in 15 consecutive games and 3 runs or fewer in 11 of their last 12 games. It won't get any easier for them today against Tarik Skubal, who won the Cy Young last year and has picked up where he left off. Michael Wacha should hold the Tigers in check as well. Wacha has given up only 4 earned runs in 13 innings in his last two starts against Detroit. The UNDER is 4-1 in the last five meetings with 7 or fewer combined runs in four of those five. It's going to be cold in Detroit this afternoon with double-digits winds blowing in from left field as well. Give me the UNDER.

Matt Fargo
This is a play on the TEXAS RANGERS for our Sunday Free Play. The Dodgers are a different team away from home and are not being priced that way as they are 10-2 at home and just 3-5 on the road not counting the two games in Japan to open the season. They won the opener on Friday behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto but lost Game Two on Saturday and are heavily favored with Tyler Glasnow on the hill. He has dominated his two home starts, although he did allow two home runs against the Cubs in his last one, and he is back on the road after getting shelled in his lone road outing at Philadelphia. The Rangers completed a home sweep over the Angels following a 5-3 win on Thursday as the pitching has kept them in first place in the American League West and has done the job again in these first two games, coming away with a split. They sent their two top guys on Friday and Saturday and go with the undervalued guy today as Tyler Mahle has flown under the radar, posting a 0.92 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in four starts and has gotten progressively better as he looks to be 100 percent back following Tommy John surgery. Play (926) Texas Rangers
NBA is on 9-3 run following a Saturday split and Fargo has one big winner going on Sunday so go get it. MLB closes the weekend coming off a 1-2 Dog Saturday and it is bounce back time with a pair of Sunday Winners.

1* Free Pick on White Sox +244
Jim Feist
Their three-game series at Coors Field will end when the Washington Nationals face the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, April 20, 2025 at 3:10 p.m. ET. The Nationals plan to continue their momentum after their 12-11 win while the Rockies try to end their current seven-game losing streak. This will be the second game of a Day/Night doubleheader on Sunday.
The Washington Nationals assign rookie pitcher Brad Lord to the mound for their night cap. Brad Lord holds a 0-1 pitching record and has posted a 4.82 ERA and a 1.93 WHIP during his 9.1 innings on the mound. He has demonstrated difficulty in control by giving up seven walks while only striking out five batters. Antonio Senzatela from Colorado will face the Nationals with a 0-3 win-loss record, a 5.89 ERA, and a 2.18 WHIP from his 18.1 innings pitched. A .424 batting average against shows Senzatela faces difficulties in keeping opposing hitters under control.
James Wood leads the Nationals' offense with his seven home runs and 17 RBIs while Keibert Ruiz contributes with a .309 batting average. The Rockies' batting lineup includes Kyle Farmer with a .328 average and Mickey Moniak who brings three home runs and seven runs batted in.
The Washington team has a 5.36 team ERA while the Colorado team holds a slightly worse 5.50 team ERA throughout this season. The combination of their prior high-scoring game and ongoing pitching difficulties suggests this matchup will produce substantial offensive output.
Take: OVER in Game 2

Sunday's MLB Free Pick
PLAY ON: Arizona Diamondbacks +114
Sean Murphy
Sunday MLB Free play. My selection is on Arizona over Chicago at 2:20 pm et on Sunday.
This will mark the seventh meeting already this season between the Diamondbacks and Cubs, with Chicago holding a 4-2 advantage, but I look for Arizona to respond and avoid the series sweep on Sunday afternoon at Wrigley.
The D'Backs hand the ball to Merrill Kelly, who is better than his surface-level numbers might indicate. One disastrous start in the Bronx against the Yankees skews his early season line, but he’s bounced back nicely, allowing just six hits and three earned runs over his last 12 innings of work. Kelly has shown the ability to settle in quickly and should be in a solid spot against a Cubs lineup he’s had success against in the past.
Jameson Taillon will toe the rubber for the Cubs. While he enjoyed a bit of a resurgence last year, he appears to have regressed to the mean early in 2025. He enters this contest with a 5.05 FIP and 1.25 WHIP across four starts, and he faces an Arizona offense that’s capable of applying pressure early and often.
Perhaps the biggest edge in this matchup comes in the bullpens. Arizona enters this game ranked No. 1 in the majors in bullpen xFIP, while the Cubs sit way down at 28th. If this game comes down to late-inning execution, the D'Backs should hold a clear advantage.
With the better starter in current form and a massive edge in the ‘pen, I’ll back Arizona to avoid the sweep on Sunday.
Take Arizona. Projected score: Diamondbacks 6, Cubs 4.
