Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Astros/A's OVER 11

Sutter Health Park in Sacramento has been right up there with Coors Field as the most hitter-friendly park in baseball this season.  The A's have gone 46-28-3 OVER in all home games in 2026.  The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 11 ticket with the Astros tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to center.

The A's are expected to make this a bullpen game starting with Mason Barnett.  He is 1-4 with a 7.16 ERA and 1.75 WHIP in five starts and 14 relief appearances this season.  Barnett has allowed a whopping 35 earned runs and 12 homers in 44 innings.  The A's have one of the worst bullpens in baseball with a 5.30 ERA overall and a 6.54 ERA at home.

Peter Lambert is 8-10 with a 3.70 ERA in 27 starts for the Astros this season.  Ethan Pecko only went 2 2/3 innings for the Astros last night in a 6-5 loss to the Mariners in extra innings.  They had to use five different relievers including their three of their best in Hader, Abreu and Blubaugh and could be short-handed in Game 1 of this series as a result.

Both offenses should have their way tonight.  The OVER is 4-0 in the last four meetings between the Astros and A's at Sutter Health Park with 11 or more combined runs in all four meetings, including 15 or more in three of them.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR THURSDAY, 9/24:

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 Thursday is with the Houston Astros with the money-line versus the Athletics listing both starting pitchers Peter Lambert and Mason Barnett. Houston (78-80) has lost four of their last five games after their 6-5 loss at Seattle on Wednesday. The Astros have won 5 of their last 8 road games after a loss by one run in their last game. They stay on the road where they have won 10 of their last 14 games against teams with a losing record. The Athletics (63-95) has won two games in a row after their 7-3 upset win at home against the Los Angeles Angels as a +110 money-line underdog yesterday. They have then lost 4 of their last 5 games after an upset victory against a fellow AL West rival. They have also lost 8 of their last 9 games at home as a money-line underdog priced in the +150 to +200 range. Take Houston with the money-line listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports: Take #313 UCLA Bruins over Maryland Terrapins (1:30 p.m., Saturday, September 26, BTN)

We faded Maryland at home last week, and we’re backing UCLA against the Terrapins this Saturday. The Bruins are 3-0 under first-year head coach Bob Chesney. While their competition has been modest, they’ve shown they can score, and we expect their offense to make the difference.

Maryland struggled against Virginia Tech last week, falling behind 35-14 before adding late fourth-quarter touchdowns. Chesney also knows the region from his time coaching at James Madison in Virginia. With UCLA favored, we like the Bruins in this matchup.

Saturday’s Free Winner: Michigan State Spartans.

Game 318.

2:00 PM PST/5:00 PM EST.

Nebraska snapped a two-game slide in this series with last season’s home victory, 38-27. Now they must travel to East Lansing to face a Michigan State opponent that happens to be a covering machine. That’s right, my friends the Spartans have covered all three games this season, and going back a bit further five in a row and eight of their last nine overall contests. They face the same tough opponents the Cornhuskers do being in the Big Ten. Meanwhile, what can we say about Nebraska? They had three very easy opponents thus far being favored by as little as 23.5 points and as high as 30.5 points. They failed to cover their last outing against North Dakota, and going back a bit, they have failed to cover four of their last six and seven of their last 10 overall outings. Michigan State had a lot of trouble in their last outing on the road at Notre Dame, failing to get their ground game in gear along with a lackluster passing attack. But I feel they’re in for a big bounce back in this matchup here. Yes, Nebraska is 3-0. But those victories came against two MAC teams and one FCS opponent. If you recall a season ago, they failed to win any of their final three games against Penn State, Iowa, and Utah. They were smoked in all three of those games. They’re also not the greatest covering on the road either. While the MSU offense leaves a lot to be desired, their defense is good enough to put some pressure on Nebraska’s quarterback and keep this game a lot closer than the point spread. Playing in East Lansing in front of their very loud and loyal fans gives the Spartans a big edge in this matchup. Making them an underdog in their first Big Ten outing at home will further motivate them to come out here and make a good appearance. The Cornhuskers have big matchups upcoming against the Terrapins, the Hoosiers, the Ducks and the Huskies all in a row. Maybe they’ll overlook this week’s opponent just a bit. Take MSU. Thank you.

Seahawks -7

Seattle’s defense is the difference for me here. The Seahawks have allowed just 17 points through two games, and now they draw Marcus Mariota with Jayden Daniels sidelined. That’s a tough assignment against a Seattle front that should control the line of scrimmage. Drew Lock has also done exactly what you want from a backup, including three TD passes last week, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba remains a matchup problem. Seattle has won 15 of its last 16 road games, so traveling east doesn’t scare me much. Washington has too many problems to solve against one of the league’s best defenses. Lay the touchdown. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Today's FREE selection is a strong lean on the SEAHAWKS ATS. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Minnesota sits plus-10 in Seattle on a first conference Saturday that starts when most of the Midwest is already in bed. Washington is 3–0 and laying a touchdown-plus at home. The Gophers are 2–1 with a 59–7, a 13–38, and a 41–7 on the sheet. That 13–38 against Mississippi State is the tape people will use to hammer the Huskies. The rest of the card is why the hook still looks like work.

Seventeen meetings. Minnesota 10–7. Last one was Oct. 1, 1977 in Minneapolis: Gophers 19, Huskies 17. Combined 36. No conference chapter until Saturday. No Seattle chapter since Oct. 2, 1976, when Washington dropped them 38–7. The building series is 4–4. Washington owns the last two in Husky Stadium — 38–7 in ’76 and 24–21 in ’58. Fifty-year-old home wins. Ten points in 2026 is chalk tax for a logo and a late kick, not a live series.

Washington is scoring 29.3 and allowing 13.3. Minnesota is scoring 37.7 and allowing 17.3. Those Gopher points are Eastern Illinois and Akron juice. The Huskies are 0–3 ATS laying double-digit numbers. Kick is 11 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. local. Minneapolis body clock, two time zones, first Big Ten Saturday on the coast. Public will smash minus-10 because Washington is unbeaten and FOX is on. That is how plus-10 gets to the window looking like a prayer. The 10–7 ledger and the 0–3 ATS tape are why it is a ticket.

You are not fading the Huskies to lose. You are fading them to cover a full score after a 49-year gap on a late window. 27–24 cashes. 24–17 cashes. 20–17 Minnesota is the gift.

Bet Minnesota plus the number as a road underdog of 9.5 to 11 after a series gap of 40-plus years.
All-time series: Minnesota 10-7. Last meeting 19–17. Seattle split 4-4. (+3.0 unit$, ROI=27.3%)

Bet the dog in first conference games kicking after 10 p.m. ET when the visitor crossed two time zones.
Late window, West Coast, Midwest roster. That hook has lived closer to a field goal than two scores. (+4.1 unit$, ROI=19.7%)

Bet against a 3–0 home favorite of 9.5 to 11 that is 0–3 ATS laying double digits.
The 0–3 ATS tape is on the card. Ten is the tax, not the lock.

Play: Minnesota +10.

My selection is on Tulsa plus the points over Arkansas at 8 pm et on Saturday.

The wheels have come off for Arkansas following back-to-back blowout losses at Utah and at home against Georgia. While the Razorbacks will certainly be taking a step down in class on Saturday, I think Tulsa can put them on 'upset' alert. Note that the Golden Hurricane are 3-0 to start the season (2-1 ATS). Many of the players involved in last year's road 'upset' win over Oklahoma State remain on the team and I'm confident they can take this non-conference road tilt down to the wire at the very least. It won't take much for the Razorbacks fans that do show up to the game to turn on their team as things have gone horribly wrong for the program as a whole in recent years. Tulsa wants to get back to a Bowl game this year and while its start is encouraging, it needs to keep its foot on the gas with even tougher games ahead on the AAC road. Take Tulsa (8*).
