Book Breaker | 5:08 PM San Diego Padres vs Chicago Cubs MLB 10/02 |
---|---|
Pick: Chicago Cubs -108 It’s a win-or-go-home game on Thursday afternoon as the San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs square off in a decisive Game 3 at Wrigley Field. Neither offense has been lighting up the scoreboard this series, but with both teams set to face pitchers who have struggled at times this season, this matchup could finally see the offense come alive. Yu Darvish will get the ball for the Padres after going 5-5 with a 5.38 ERA in 15 starts this season. The Cubs counter with Jameson Taillon, who enters with a 11-7 record and a 3.68 ERA in 23 starts. Looking at this pitching matchup further, the Cubs have an edge on the mound. Taillon has found his groove, going 2-1 with a 0.95 ERA over his last 3 outings; Darvish has gone 2-0 but with a 4.30 ERA in that same stretch. Offensively, the Padres are averaging 5.1 runs per game with a .706 OPS in their last 10 games’ the Cubs are averaging 4.9 runs per game with a .756 OPS. With similar offensive numbers, the difference lies on the mound — and I expect Taillon should be able to handle business in Game 3. Look for Chicago to get to Darvish early and move on to the NLDS. |
Dionne D'Amico | 8:08 PM Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees MLB 10/02 |
---|---|
Pick: New York Yankees -152 3 Big Winners for Thursday: TIGERS/GUARDIANS WINNER, PADRES/CUBS WINNER, & NCAAF THURSDAY NIGHT WINNER. FREE WINNER: New York Yankees Boston took Game 1, and then New York bounced back and took Game 2. Today in Game 3, we have a battle of rookies on the mound. The Red Sox rookie is 1-2 with a 2.33 ERA, going 0-2 with a 3.14 ERA over his last three starts. While the Yankees rookie is 4-3 with a 2.96 ERA in 14 starts after making his debut, going 1-0, with a 2.65 ERA in his last three starts, with the team winning six of his last seven starts. New York is playing the better ball, running hotter, and has the better pitcher on the hill. Play the Yankees. |

Pick: Chicago Cubs -109 Free Play – Take #912 Chicago Cubs -109 over San Diego (5:08 p.m. ET, Thursday, Oct. 2) It’s win or go home for the Padres and Cubs today. San Diego’s bullpen has been dominant in the series. The San Diego pen has pitched 9 2/3 innings, allowing one run on three hits while fanning nine. The question is how good will these pitchers be if needed again to throw three straight days, with Yu Darvish sporting a 5.38 ERA, which blows up 7.26 on the road this season. That suggests bullpen usage for the Friars. The Chicago free swingers have five total runs in the last three starts, but starter Jameson Taillon (11-7, 3.68 ERA) has been lights out the past two months with a 1.57 ERA. Can San Diego win, for certain. However, Taillon has been outstanding and the Cubs are 10-2 after being shutout. Cubs win.

Glen McNeil Sports | 3:08 PM Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Guardians MLB 10/02 |
---|---|
Pick: Under 7 Through the first two games, neither team has shown much offensive firepower. Cleveland did hit three home runs in Game 2, but with only seven combined runs scored, it still wasn’t enough to push the total over. Slade Cecconi has solid numbers the first time through an order, and this matchup has the feel of a bullpen game beyond that, with both managers likely quick to pull the trigger at the first sign of trouble. Both lineups have also struggled with runners in scoring position — Detroit is just 2-for-23, while Cleveland sits at 3-for-10. Given those struggles and the pitching setup, runs should be limited here. The under is the play. Play Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians under the total. Glen McNeil 18-2 Run overall !

---|---|
Pick: San Diego Padres -102 Oddsmakers have this game listed as essentially a pick’em (SD +100, CHC -110), and that feels right. But someone has to advance to the NLDS, and I’m backing the Padres. They leaned on their biggest strength Wednesday, shutting out the Cubs 3-0 behind another dominant bullpen effort. The starting pitching matchup is basically even — Yu Darvish brings playoff seasoning while Jameson Taillon has been red hot. The difference, though, is San Diego’s bullpen. The Padres ranked first in ERA (3.06), WHIP (1.15), and opponent batting average (.209) during the regular season. In the postseason, they’ve only gotten better, posting a 1.08 ERA and 0.60 WHIP compared to Chicago’s 1.42 and 0.63. With elite arms like Mason Miller and Robert Suarez ready to go, I’ll ride with San Diego to punch their ticket — especially with the value sitting at +100.

Glen McNeil Sports | 8:08 PM Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees MLB 10/02 |
---|---|
Pick: New York Yankees -167 The New York Yankees appear to hold the edge in Game 3 of this AL Wild Card series. Boston leaned heavily on its bullpen in Game 2, using six relievers, including Garrett Whitlock, who threw 47 pitches and is unlikely to be available tonight. With both teams turning to rookie starters, relief pitching figures to play a major role, and Alex Cora’s Game 2 management suggested he wanted to avoid this exact scenario. Given the fresher bullpen and overall positioning, the Yankees look poised to take Game 3. Play New York Yankees Glen McNeil 18-2 Run overall ! NFL Winner Tonight (Thursday) Crushed it again last night! I’m now on an 18-2 run across all sports and 6-1 in the NFL. Tonight, I’ve got another NFL winner lined up and ready to cash.

Sean Murphy | 3:08 PM Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Guardians MLB 10/02 |
---|---|
Pick: Detroit Tigers 109 Thursday MLB Free play. My selection is on Detroit over Cleveland at 3:05 pm et on Thursday. The Guardians got the better of Detroit on Wednesday, capitalizing on opportunities the Tigers couldn’t convert in a 6-1 win to even this Wild Card series. I expect the tables to turn in the decisive Game 3. Jack Flaherty gets the ball for Detroit, and while his overall campaign was forgettable, he quietly strung together three solid outings to close the regular season, surrendering only four earned runs over 14 1/3 innings. Notably, two of those starts came against Cleveland, which should give him confidence stepping in here. Slade Cecconi will counter for the Guardians. He’s had flashes of quality but has also struggled badly at times, most recently giving up four earned runs across just four innings in a 7-3 loss to Texas. He’s been less reliable than Flaherty down the stretch, and that inconsistency makes it tough to trust him in a spot of this magnitude. While Cleveland’s bullpen is often regarded as a strength, Detroit’s relief corps has been every bit as effective in recent weeks, making the matchup close to even late in games. The real separator should be Flaherty’s ability to keep the Tigers steady early, while the Tigers offense is capable of doing more damage than it showed on Wednesday. Look for Detroit to deliver behind Flaherty and send Cleveland packing. Take Detroit over Cleveland. |

Betting the MLB Point Spread
While less popular than betting the moneyline, the spread is the sportsbook's way of leveling the playing field. In order to win a point spread bet or “cover the spread,” the favored team not only has to win the game – they must do so by a specified number of points (the spread). The spread encourages equal betting on both teams, as it essentially “gives” points to the underdog. You most often find spreads with half-points attached, which is known as a “hook.” The hook avoids the possibility of a push (or tie).Betting the MLB Moneyline
Betting “the moneyline” is the most popular way to wager on MLB baseball. The MLB moneyline is the easiest baseball bet to understand. When betting the moneyline, you are simply picking the team that will win the game. MLB Moneyline bets are easy to understand, but they offer a poor return on investment when betting on the favorite.Betting MLB Totals (Over/Under)
When betting the “total” on MLB games, you are no longer concerned with which team will win the game. Instead, your focus is strictly on how many points will be scored overall. You may also hear this type of bet referred to as “over-under betting.”
