Marc David Sports' Free Pick
We really like the away team in this matchup. This matchup serves as the second game of a split doubleheader at PNC Park after Friday evening's series opener was postponed due to inclement weather. The Brewers turn to rookie LHP Shane Drohan (4-2, 2.97 ERA), and the Pirates have posted a sluggish 6-16 record when facing left-handed starters, 1-9 as underdogs. The Pirates hand the ball to Bubba Chandler (3-8, 4.82 ERA), who they are 3-7 with on the mound as underdogs.

Cubs vs Reds MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Chicago Cubs after getting shut out in the series opener. Public perception often overadjusts to a zero-run performance, but sharp handicappers know that backing a disciplined lineup following a shutout loss yields excellent long-term value.
The Cincinnati Reds hand the ball to left-hander Nick Lodolo (3-2, 4.68 ERA). While Lodolo has individual flashes of pitching well lately, the team results tell a highly alarming story. The Reds have dropped five of his last six starts.
The Cubs turn to right-hander Javier Assad (6-1, 4.15 ERA), who isn't just a solid arm, he consistently benefits from a high-functioning relationship with his offense. The Cubs' dugout routinely fills up the box score when he takes the bump, leading Chicago to an impressive seven wins across his last eight starts.
The moneyline is tempting, but the real value is on the runline at plus-money.
The Bet: Cubs -1½ (3%).

Minnesota starter Joe Ryan projects to give up 2.0 runs with a 2.91 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. Los Angeles’ lineup has hit just .227 (10-44) with a weak .600 OPS against Ryan in his career. The Angels will start Ryan Johnson. The righty projects to give up 2.9 earned runs with a 4.92 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. With the starting pitching clearly in Minnesota’s favor, look for the Twins to get a solid home win in this game on Saturday afternoon.

FREE PICK | Norway [1H ATS] | Good until +0.5, -200.
My first 5% selection of the World Cup was actually on this Norway team when it managed to beat Iraq by multiple goals (winner). This weekend, I look for the Norwegians to keep this game close against another powerhouse. At any moment & against any opponent, Erling Haaland can strike. That's going to be crucial in a game like this. Getting a win if both teams are held off the score sheet in the first half of this game is crazy value for Norway here. Go with NOR.
