Dave Price
Dave's Thursday Free Play:
1* on Blue Jays/Yankees OVER 8
The Key: Carlos Rodon is working his way back from injury. He is 0-1 with a 5.63 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in 2 starts this year yielding 5 ER and 8 walks in 8 innings. Control has been an issue for him. Rodon is 2-3 with a 5.58 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in 10 lifetime starts against Toronto. He yielded 6 ER in 2 1/3 innings in his last start against the Blue Jays. Toronto has a tired bullpen and will need to make this a bullpen game starting with Braydon Fisher with Spencer Miles getting the majority of the work after. After having to face each team's best starter in Schlittler and Yesavage yesterday, hitters should have their way here taking a big step down in class. Take the OVER.

Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Rockies/Diamondbacks OVER 9
The Arizona Diamondbacks really profile as an OVER team scoring 4.6 runs per game and allowing 4.7 runs per game this season. They have gone for 9 or more combined runs in six of their last eight games overall.
The Rockies and their opponents have gone for at least 9 combined runs in seven of their last eight games overall. They are allowing 5.3 runs per game. They will be making this a bullpen game starting with Zachary Agnos, who has a 5.59 ERA this season while allowing 18 earned runs in 29 innings. He allowed 2 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of a 9-1 home loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday.
Eduardo Rodriquez allowed 3 earned runs and 9 hits in 5 1/3 innings to the Rockies in his last start on May 16th. Getting to see him for the 2nd time in 6 days is a big advantage for Colorado hitters. Rodriquez is 3-1 with a 4.95 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in seven career starts against the Rockies. He has posted a 7.16 ERA in three career home starts against them, allowing 13 earned runs in 16 1/3 innings.
The Rockies and Diamondbacks have combined for 10 or more runs in seven of their last nine meetings. Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

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.
