No National League team has played more Overs this season than Washington. The Over has cashed in 13 of Washington's 19 games. That's not a huge surprise considering the Nationals are averaging the second most runs in the majors while having the highest bullpen ERA at 6.15.

The Nationals have scored at least five runs in 14 of their 19 games. Now they host the Giants and Logan Webb, who has a history of pitching much worse on the road with a 3.98 ERA compared to a 2.90 ERA when pitching in San Francisco.

The Giants' run production is down on the season. But lately San Francisco's offense has shown life scoring at least six runs in three of the past five games. San Francisco ranks 11th in batting average.

Not only do the Giants get to face the worst bullpen in the majors, but also draw starting  pitcher Zack Littell. He has a 4.20 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP and has surrendered five homers in 15 innings.

Ricky's 7* play on Over.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The Over is 6-3 in Colorado's last 9 games against an opponent in the National League West Division.

- The Over is 6-3 in LA Dodgers' last 9 games against an opponent in the National League.

- The Over is 12-6 in LA Dodgers' last 18 games played in April.

Verdict: We should see plenty of Points in this game.

1* Free Pick on Suns -3½

The Phoenix Suns are in a prime position to clinch the final playoff spot in the West this Friday night.
They have been a rock at the Mortgage Matchup Center lately and bring a top-six scoring defense into this elimination game.

The Golden State Warriors are playing on very thin ice after a grueling win over the Clippers on Wednesday.
This is their second win-or-go-home game in 48 hours and the fatigue should be a major factor in the second half.

The absence of Jimmy Butler is the biggest hurdle for the Warriors in this matchup.
Without Butler’s elite wing defense, Golden State has no answer for Devin Booker, who is averaging over 26 points per game.

Phoenix also has a significant edge in the coaching and depth department right now.
Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks provide a dual scoring threat that the Warriors' perimeter defense has struggled to contain all season.

The injury report favors the Suns as well, with the Warriors monitoring Kristaps Porzingis’ ankle after he was seen limping post-game on Wednesday.
If Porzingis is limited or out, Golden State loses its only real rim protection against a Suns team that loves to attack the paint.

Phoenix finished the regular season with a defensive rating that ranks in the top ten of the league.
They allow just 111.1 points per contest and do a great job of forcing opponents into tough, contested mid-range jumpers.

Golden State relies far too heavily on Stephen Curry to bail them out of possessions.
Curry is seeing double teams on almost every touch, and the Warriors' secondary playmakers have been turnover-prone under pressure.

The Suns rank much higher in shooting efficiency and free throw rate at home.
They should be able to get to the line early and often against a tired Warriors frontcourt.

Expect the Suns to use their rest advantage to pull away in the fourth quarter.
The depth and defensive discipline of this Phoenix squad will be the difference in securing that eighth seed.

Bet Suns -3.5.

1* Free Sharp Play on A's -140

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Take LAFC/San Jose UNDER (7 p.m. EST, Sunday April 19) This is a major Western Conference clash between two title contenders and these have been the best two defensive sides in MLS this season (along with Seattle). They have allowed a combined four goals through 14 combined matches! Not only is this a big match for Western Conference status, but this is a great test for the Earthquake to show how solid they really are this season. Two seasons ago this was one of the worst sides in MLS but they rebuilt quickly and have a great squad this season. LAFC probably has the best chance to represent the west in the MLS Cup, so San Jose will want to play well here and we think they lean into their defense. These sides are behind the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Western Conference standings, and that team has an easy matchup Friday, so both sides here will want to keep pace. These matchups have generally been high scoring, but the Earthquake are a more focused defensive side this season and we think they will treat this like a playoff matchup and dig deep defensively.

Padres +122

San Diego is the move against the Angels. The Padres send out Matt Waldron, who makes his first start this season. He started the season at Triple A and didn’t give up a run over 12 innings. Soriano counters and while he’s been lights out, he’s going to see some regression. San Diego is playing well and this lineup is just too deep.

Friday's MLB Free Pick

PLAY ON: Cubs -139

In a near-even matchup on paper at Citizens Bank Park, the Philadelphia Phillies stand out as the sharpest overall play on tonight's slate as home favorites against the visiting Atlanta Braves. The game features a pair of veteran arms in Martin Perez for Atlanta and Taijuan Walker for Philadelphia, but the venue and historical patterns tilt the edge directly toward the home side. Citizens Bank Park has long ranked among the more hitter-friendly environments in the National League, especially in April when the ball carries well under cooler evening conditions, and the Phillies have capitalized on that advantage repeatedly in recent seasons with a strong home record that consistently outperforms their road splits.

Recent trends reinforce the value here. The Phillies, sitting at 8-10 overall early in 2026, have shown flashes of their proven home dominance, particularly against divisional rivals like the Braves. Over the past several campaigns, Philadelphia has owned a solid head-to-head edge at home against Atlanta, winning roughly two-thirds of those contests and often turning close games into blowouts thanks to timely power from the middle of the order. The Braves enter with a hotter 12-7 mark and a robust run differential, but their road performance this young season has been more modest, and they've historically struggled to close out series in Philly where the atmosphere and park dimensions create extra pressure on visiting pitchers.

Statistically, the Phillies' lineup has the ingredients to exploit Perez, who owns a respectable 3.14 ERA through limited early innings but has never been a high-strikeout guy and has posted modest success rates in prior matchups against this Philadelphia club. Walker, despite his elevated 7.36 ERA so far, has shown the ability to limit damage after shaky first innings, and the Phillies' bullpen depth has been a reliable late-game asset at home. Betting angles also favor Philadelphia in this spot: divisional home underdogs or slight favorites in hitter-friendly parks have cashed at a higher clip in early-season play over the last few years, and the Phillies' track record of bouncing back after slow starts at Citizens Bank Park adds another layer of confidence.

All told, the combination of venue-specific history, the Phillies' proven home success against Atlanta, and the matchup dynamics makes Philadelphia the cleanest moneyline selection of the night. Look for the Phillies to ride the crowd and park factors to a victory in what shapes up as a tightly contested divisional battle.

Testing current 9-1 90% overall NBA run and a longer term 39-20 70% conversion rate that has made my dime players more than $21000.00 in bankroll expanding profits.

My selection is on Detroit over Boston at 7:15 pm et on Friday.

I think the case can be made for the wrong team being favored in this matchup. The Red Sox are probably breathing a sigh of relief after they avoided a series sweep in Minnesota with a lopsided victory on Wednesday. They probably would have liked to have been right back on the field yesterday to keep it rolling off that offensive breakout. I think they're going to be in tough in the opener of this series as they send a slow-starting Ranger Suarez to the hill against Case Mize of the Tigers. Suarez will settle in over time I'm sure but for now he owns a 4.49 FIP and 1.47 WHIP through his first three starts with Boston. Like Suarez, Mize is off to a bit of a shaky start to the campaign as well. With that being said, his best outing did come on the road in Arizona and he has been slightly better than his 3.94 ERA indicates as he sports a 3.67 FIP. I do like the Tigers offense a little more than the Red Sox. I'll also point out that the Detroit bullpen is in excellent shape having logged just 16 2/3 innings over the last week (3.24 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with four saves converted and one blown over that stretch). Take Detroit (8*).

#901/902: ASA FREE PLAY ON Over 10.5 (-105) Mets at Cubs, Friday at 2:20 ET - Don't let the big number keep you away here. The weather is a solid factor for this over. It will be chilly this weekend in Chicago but this afternoon the temperatures should be in the low 70s and with a fairly strong southerly breeze likely too as the cold front is NOT in town just yet. We expect this one to turn into a slugfest at Wrigley Field. The Cubs Cabrera has a low ERA so far this season but the Mets do have a fair number of hitters that have had decent success against him. In fact, those 5 hitters have gone a combined 9 of 22 against Cabrera. As for the Mets starter, Senga is off a very rough outing and is 0-2 in his 3 starts this season. Last season after the All-Star break he made 8 starts and went 0-3 with a 6.56 ERA so this is starting to look like a long-term issue for Senga.
