Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Los Angeles Angels -129

Death, taxes and fade Patrick Corbin in any way possible.  It's hard to believe the Rangers have him in their rotation this season after how dreadful he was in Washington, but here we are.  Corbin started at least 31 games for the Nationals each of the past four seasons and never posted better than a 5.20 ERA or a 1.47 WHIP.  He allowed 3 earned runs, one homer and 7 base runners in 4 innings of a 10-6 loss to the Cubs in his first start this season.

Jose Soriano is the most talented starter on this Angels staff.  He is 9-11 with a 3.39 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 171 K's in 175 innings in his three seasons in the majors.  Soriano is 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in three starts in 2025.  He has allowed 3 earned runs or fewer in nine of his last 10 starts dating back to last season.

The Rangers have been a huge disappointment offensively this season scoring just 3.2 runs per game thus far.  The Angels have been one of the biggest surprises offensively, scoring 4.7 runs per game with one of the more underrated lineups in baseball.  Bet the Angels Wednesday.

This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS for our Wednesday Free Play. Cleveland failed to get the sweep against Kansas City and had its five-game winning streak snapped with a 4-2 loss on Sunday but bounced back with an east series opening win on Tuesday. The Guardians pitching has paved the way to get back over .500 with a lot of that with the bullpen which has a 2.58 ERA, No. 4 in baseball following possessing the best bullpen in the league last season. Gavin Williams has not been able to go very long in any of his three starts but he has not blown up and kept the Guardians in games where they have gone 2-1 and he has put up a decent 3.46 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. He is back on the road where his ERA of 3.56 from last season was three runs better than his ERA at home. The Orioles split their two-game series against Toronto over the weekend and the bats came out slow last night and the pitching could not help out. Baltimore is built around its young offense but through 16 games they are right in line with Cleveland in most major hitting categories including identical .305 wOBA rankings. Dean Kreamer has been very average the last two seasons and he has been even worse to start this season with an 8.16 ERA and 1.67 WHIP through three starts. All three starts have been on the road but a return home likely will not make a difference as he posted a 4.38 ERA in 19 home starts in 2023 and a 4.45 ERA in 11 home starts last season. Play (911) Cleveland Guardians

Wednesday’s FREE WINNER: Sacramento Kings.

Game 928.

7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST.

This time of year, in the NBA a few things play major factors in a team going on, and a team going home. One of those things happens to be momentum. The Dallas Mavericks come into this contest today dropping six of their final 21 regular season games. Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings who were hit or miss for most of the season, did finish the regular season winning four of their final six games, and covered four of those final six games as well. Having the home court also plays a major role here. While the Kings were just 20-21 at the Golden 1 Center this season, the Mavericks were eight games under .500 when they traveled, at 17-25 away from home. Another factor is confidence. Sacramento won and covered all three meetings this season with Dallas, one at home and two on the road. One last thing plays a big part on whether you go on or go home this time of year, and that is injuries, and without question, the Kings are a little bit healthier than the Mavericks. While this line is a little higher than I really like, I still think they get the job done. If the number would’ve been a little bit lower, I would've put them out as a premium play. But I still think they get the job done. Takes Sacramento and take your bookmaker’s money. Thank you.

The Sacramento Kings will host the Dallas Mavericks for a Western Conference Play-In Tournament match at Golden 1 Center on Wednesday, April 16, 2025. The winner of this crucial game will secure a position in the final playoff slot.

The Mavericks have struggled through a tough season since the loss of Luka Doncic after their trade decision left them with a 39-43 record. The Mavericks suffered a major setback when Kyrie Irving sustained a season-ending injury. The Mavericks offense has underperformed with an average of 114.2 points per game and they failed to reach 105 points in four of their most recent five matches. Anthony Davis, acquired in the Don?i? Anthony Davis has played a vital role in the Mavericks' offense but remains listed as probable because of his left adductor strain. Klay Thompson has delivered scoring help as a veteran leader but the team does not have a reliable offensive leader.

The Kings who have a current record of 40-42 have displayed more consistency by winning four of their past six matches. Domantas Sabonis and his teammates DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine push their team to an average score of 115.7 points per game offensively. The team demonstrated defensive progress by permitting under 102 points during both of their last two regular-season contests. Their home game performance contributes to their advantage in this matchup.

The matchup between the Mavericks who have recently struggled offensively and the defensively improving Kings is expected to produce low-scoring results. The total line stands at 215.5 points but the under side seems to be advantageous when analyzing team tendencies together with the play-in game pressure. The game promises to be a close competition with Kings likely to win with a final score between 110 to 103.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR WEDNESDAY, 4/16:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Wednesday is with Under the Total in the game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Vancouver Canucks. Vegas (49-22-10) had won two games in a row before a 5-4 loss at Calgary last night. The Golden Knights have played 12 of their last 15 games on the road Under the Total after winning their last game. They have also played 17 of their last 26 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. Vancouver (38-29-14) has won three of their last four games after their 2-1 win against San Jose on Tuesday. The Canucks have played 15 of their last 20 games Under the Total at home. They have also played 21 of their last 32 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. Take the Under. Best of luck — Frank.

I get that the Sharks are the worst team in the NHL. But at this price, I have to fade the road Oilers. Edmonton is locked into a first-round playoff series against the Kings.

The priority for the Oilers is not to suffer any more injuries. They mailed in a 5-0 home loss to the Kings on Monday. This marks their fourth game in six days.

The Oilers are short-handed on the blue line with multiple injuries and Darnell Nurse facing a suspension for this game. Superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl aren't likely to play. McDavid has missed nine of the last 12 games, while Draisaitl has sat out 10 of the last 13 games.

Also not expected to play for Edmonton are defensemen Mattias Ekholm, Jake Walman and Troy Stecher along with forwards Zach Hyman and Trent Frederic. Take away all of those players and the unmotivated Oilers shouldn't lay anywhere near this heavy of a road price.

The Oilers displayed their lack of incentive for this meaningless game when only a handful of their players showed up for an optional Tuesday practice.

The Sharks are anxious to end their 10-game losing streak. This is their last chance with this being their final game. The Sharks have lost by just one goal in five of their last eight games with another loss coming by two goals on an empty-net goal. So they've been competitive.

Wednesday's MLB Free Pick

PLAY ON: Royals/Yankees OVER 8

The Dodgers have covered the run-line in both games and I expect them to do it again tonight.  The Dodgers have won 5-3 and 6-2 over a Colorado team that is 3-14.  The Rockies will send German Marquez to the mound. He is 0-2, 4.60 ERA. The DOdgers will counter with with Bobby Miller who will be making his first start of the season. He was 2-4, 8.52 ERA in 2024. The Rockies ha Monday night, the Rockies had dropped four straight games. They’ve won just twice in their last 14 efforts and scored a run or less in seven of those games. Through 16 games, the Colorado offense was hitting just .219ve lost 5 in a row. Overall, thye have scored just 43 runs, this season, the fewest in major league baseball. Their 169 strikeouts were more than any other team and their 42 walks were fewest in the N.L. Pitching wise, the staff has a 4.99 team ERA, second highest in the N.L. The bullpen has yielded 12 home runs over 52.1 innings, leading to a 5.50 ERA from that unit. Marquez Lifetime versus the Dodgers, the right-hander is 3-5 with a 3.75 ERA in 17 starts.The Dodgers had been slumping a bit , being held five runs or less in their last four games prior to Tuesday night but everyone gets right on Colorado. Los Angeles has scored 79 runs in 18 games. They are second in home runs at 31. The pitching has posted a 3.79 team ERA, the fifth best mark in the National League. The bullpen was 7-2 with eight saves and a 4.09 ERA.Miller is making his first start of the season after being struck on the head in Spring Training by a line drive. He made three appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City in his rehab, posting a 2.25 ERA in 12 innings. Miller has faced Colorado twice in his career, going 1-0 with a 4.73 ERA.

La has eight wins in the last ten games against Colorado and they have been by an average of 3.5 runs per game.  Colorado moved to 1-10 on the road this season and they scored a total of five runs over their last five games.

Take the Dodgers with the run line. This is a free play.

Wednesday MLB Free play. My selection is on Los Angeles over Texas at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday.

The Angels were shut out in the series opener on Tuesday, but I look for them to bounce back on Wednesday night. Despite the shutout, Los Angeles remains one of the hottest lineups in baseball, ranking top-five in weighted on-base average (wOBA) over the past week. They’ll get a prime opportunity to get back in the win column against Rangers left-hander Patrick Corbin.

Corbin’s debut with Texas went about as expected—he allowed three earned runs over just four innings while failing to record a strikeout and permitting seven of the 19 batters he faced to reach base. The Angels should be able to do some damage against a pitcher who’s well past his prime and was largely ineffective over his final few seasons in Washington.

On the flip side, Jose Soriano will take the ball for Los Angeles. He’s a rising arm with a solid track record since his debut season in 2023. Soriano owns a 3.72 FIP and 1.00 WHIP across 20 innings so far in 2025, and he was similarly strong last season. He’s also had early success against this Rangers lineup, limiting them to just 5-for-25 (.200) with a .619 OPS in limited exposure.

With a favorable pitching edge and a lineup poised to rebound, look for the Angels to get even in the second game of this set.

Take Los Angeles. Projected score: Angels 6, Rangers 4.

Comp Soccer pick from Doc’s Sports for Friday: Spanish LaLiga Take Espanyol/Getafe OVER 1.5 (-150) (3 p.m. EST, Friday April 19) These teams aren’t great offensively, but both have been in their best offensive form of the season recently. Espanyol have scored in 12 straight matches. They have six goals in their last two matches, and both of those were on the road. They will be missing their top scorer here because of suspension, but we think his teammates will step up. And with the way they have been performing, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the home side covers this line by themselves. Getafe have scored in five straight matches. They have 10 goals in their last five matches. So there’s a great chance they will get their share of this low total here on Friday. These sides have played in low scoring matches the last few meetings, but with their current form, combined with this low total, we will lay the juice for the offenses to stay hot here at RCDE Stadium.
