Next Winner HERE:

Austin Reaves Points Over 18.5 (-113):

Austin Reaves is coming off a horrendous game where he only scored 11 points due to a 3-16 shooting effort that included an 0-5 performance from beyond the arc. The good news is that the minutes and volume where there as Reaves played the second most minutes (36) while taking the second most field goal attempts (16). The Lakers ran a ton of actions for Reaves with DeAndre Ayton & Jaxson Hayes and that should continue tonight as the Lakers are facing on 0-2 hole. This is only Reaves 4th game back in action after missing nearly a month with an injury, but his minutes have now been ramped up to 36+. JJ Redick will be looking for ways to improve his offense after a 90-point effort and that will include feeding the remaining starters with Luka Doncic on the shelf.

Free NHL Hockey Pick Today: Carolina Hurricanes -160

Carolina Hurricanes [ML] | Good until -175.

Philadelphia had its chance in Game 2 of this series. But, Carolina fought through the adversity and took it in overtime. The Hurricanes now hold a two game lead in the series and have yet to lose in the postseason. The Flyers do have the ability to cause some havoc against anyone. But, having just been gutted like that in the second game, I don't think that they are going to be able to come out and play their best on Thursday. Carolina held a 26-12-5 record in away games this season while Philly was just 22-14-8 at home. The Flyers were actually better on the road. Canes take a 3-0 series lead after tonight.

St. Louis starter Matthew Liberatore projects to give up 2.8 runs with a 4.76 ERA and 1.47 WHIP.  San Diego’s lineup has hit a solid .302 (16-53) with a strong .348 OBP against Liberatore in his career.  The Padres will start Michael King.  The righty projects to give up 2.0 earned runs with a 3.22 ERA and 1.09 WHIP.  With the starting pitching clearly in San Diego’s favor, look for the Padres to get a solid home win in this game on Thursday night.

Take LA Lakers - OKC OVER (#569-570)

The ‘Daily Double’ video below offers my take for BOTH NBA Playoff Games tonight.  Here’s a write-up for the LA- OKC Total.  The three most important factors for NBA Totals?  First, free throw attempts — how many points get scored with the clock stopped?  Second, three point shooting — are teams connecting on the NBA’s most valuable shot?  And third is pace — how early in the shot clock are teams able to score on their possessions, and how many ‘push the pace’ fast break bucket opportunities are there?  We can expect all three to work in favor of Over bettors tonight?  Game 1 featured only 25 COMBINED free throw attempts and 23 COMBINED three point makes; both of which are well below team and league averages; primed for ‘positive regression’ this evening.  And it’s not like Game 1 was a particularly slow paced game — the two teams just didn’t make shots.  Expect more shotmaking tonight in a game primed to cash Over bets with room to spare.  Take the OVER.

Free Major League Baseball Pick Today: Boston Red Sox -110 Griffin Jax (RHP), Jake Bennett (LHP) Must Start

Two AL East teams match-up on Thursday as the Tampa Bay Rays face the Boston Red Sox in a great series. The Tampa Bay Rays are coming off of a 3-0 win against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. The Boston Red Sox have gone 7-3 in their last 10 games overall. Tampa Bay is one of the hottest teams in baseball, winning 9 out of their last 10. The Boston Red Sox will turn to left hander Jake Bennett for this match-up. He is 1-0 with a 1.8 ERA. Bennett has elite stuff with a great changeup that does work on right handers. Definitely a pitcher to keep an eye on this season. Jesse Scholtens will lead the way on the bump for the Tampa Bay Rays. He is 3-1 on the year with a sparkling 3.18 ERA. We've got Scholtens pegged for regression. The Rays claimed Jesse Scholtens in August 2025 after he was designated for assignment by the White Sox. Scholtens doesn’t overwhelm hitters with raw stuff. He throws strikes with a wide arsenal and relies on his command and pitch sequencing. It has worked for now but Fenway will be a big test for him. Griffin Jax will open this game before the Rays turn to Scholtens as the primary pitcher. Boston have gone 9-7 when taking on winning teams in their last 16. They are 8-2 in their last 10 when taking on the Rays.

Free NBA Basketball Pick Today: Philadelphia 76ers -1.0 (-106)

New York leads the Eastern Conference semifinals 2-0 after Wednesday’s 108-102 win over the 76ers. However, NBA playoff underdogs coming off back-to-back wins are just 228-299-8 ATS (43.3%) since 1996, losing by an average margin of 7.6 points per game and failing to cover by an average of 2.1 points per game. Similarly, NBA playoff home favorites entering Game 3 of a series after back-to-back losses by a combined 9+ points are 50-30-2 ATS (62.5%), covering the spread by an average of 4.0 points per game. In contrast, NBA favorites coming off a loss are 396-314-11 (55.8%) in Game 2 (or beyond) of a series, including 114-87-2 ATS (56.7%) since 2019. Let’s also note that Round 2 home teams are 35-17 ATS (67.3%) following a Round 2 loss, winning by an average of 11.2 points and covering by an average of 7.9 points. Finally, NBA playoff home favorites coming off a loss, as underdogs of 5 points or more, are 19-3-1 ATS (86.4%) in Game 3 with totals under 223 points, provided one additional parameter is satisfied. These teams have covered the spread by an average margin of 8.2 points per game since 2003. Take the Philadelphia 76ers as Jeff Keim’s Free Pick Winner for Friday, May 8.

Free Major League Baseball Pick Today: Miami Marlins -124 Cade Povich (LHP), Max Meyer (RHP) Must Start

The Orioles have taken the first two games of this series but the Marlins should have a strong shot at avoiding the sweep. Max Meyer is 2-0 with a 2.68 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. At home, his WHIP dips to 0.94. Over his past two starts, he's thrown 12 shutout innings, allowing five total hits. On the other hand, Baltmore's Cade Povich allowed five earned runs, on seven hits, in just four innings of his last start. He's 0-1 with a 6.52 ERA and 1.66 WHIP on the road. He's also now 7-18 with a 5.14 ERA for his career. Let's go with Meyer and the Marlins. *good to -135

Free NBA Basketball Pick Today: Deandre Ayton Rebounds Over 8.5 (-126)

Although the Lakers ended up taking the loss in Game 1 against the Thunder DeAndre Ayton was still a force in the rebounding department racking up 12 of them. We’ll take his NBA player prop over 8.5 rebounds in Game 2 with Ayton now hitting double digit rebounds in four straight games. He has averaged 11 rebounds per game in the post season which leads the team with the next top rebounder being LeBron James at 6.7 per game. He has played 30 minutes per game in the post season which is a slight uptick from the regular season and it’s also worth noting that big man Jared Vanderbilt is doubtful for this game which could mean a few additional minutes for Ayton on the floor tonight as well. His +/- rating of -4 actually was the best among all Lakers players that saw at least 10 minutes in Game 1 so we know he’s not in danger of losing minutes to Jaxson Hayes who had a -12 rating in just 16 minutes. After hauling in over 25% of the Lakers’ total rebounds in Game 1 let’s take Ayton to be a force on the glass for LA again tonight taking his NBA player prop over 8.5 rebounds in Game 2.

The Padres enter Thursday winners of 3 of 4 and have scored 15 runs over their past 2 games. That includes a 10 spot in San Francisco, one of the most pitcher friendly parks in baseball. Now the Friars return home and will send Michael King to the mound for their opener against St. Louis. King has allowed 2 runs or less in 4 of his past 5 starts and ranks in the 91^st percentile in off-speed run value. Matthew Liberatore has terrible metrics and the Cardinals have the 4^th worst bullpen in terms of ERA. Take the Padres -1.

Ricky's play on Under.

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 Under is 14-3 in Detroit's last 17 games against Cleveland.

- The Under is 7-2 in Detroit's last 9 games when playing at home against Cleveland.

- The Under is 4-1 in Cleveland's last 5 games against an opponent in the Central Division.

Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.

Free Major League Baseball Pick Today: Total Over 9.0 (-110) Action

OVER 9

The Athletics and Phili clash and this is a good over spot. The Athletics goes with JT Ginn, who hasn’t been able to find any sort of rhythm so far. He owns an ERA well above 4 and was roughed up last time out for 5 runs against Cleveland. This Phili offense is heating up and they will put a lot of traffic on the bases against Ginn. Philadelphia counters pitching wise with Andrew Painter. He’s got an ERA of 5.28 and hasn’t surpassed 5 innings yet this season. He’s given up 3 or more runs in 4 of his outings this year and that number will rise as this A’s offense can really string together hits. Grab the over.

Take #9 Hurricanes vs Flyers Over

We have one game on the docket here on Thursday, and Carolina is now up 2-0 in this series after coming back from an 0-2 hole in the first period of Game 1. The Flyers were very competitive in Game 2; they just fell short of the win, but we think they play quite well here at home and give the Canes a fight. Philly has a good offense and can skate with any team in the NHL, and we like them to get after it offensively. Carolina is 46-40-2 to the over on the year, so we think this one is a shootout, and we roll with the over.
