As of posting this release, I see the Pirates laying about -170. If this line would have been under -150 it would’ve certainly been a premium release for me. I feel it’s still a strong play and you don’t pay juice on a win. Even if it goes up $.10 or $.15 or so, I still think it offers us value on Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Pirates.

Game 952.

3:40 PM PST/6:40 PM EST.

Very quietly, the National League Central division has become the most competitive in all of baseball. They are the only division in the Majors possessing five teams all with winning records. But unfortunately, someone has to lead the division, and someone has to dwell in the cellar. Battling it out for the poorest record in the Central is everyone but the Milwaukee Brewers. One game separates the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, and Pittsburgh Pirates. We all know Chicago was riding a 10-game slide until yesterday’s game three victory by a score of 10-4. Prior to that, the Cubs accounted for a combined 25 runs scored during that 10-game losing streak. That would be enough. But their pitching staff got steamrolled for over 65 runs during that span. Obviously, yesterday, both their lineup and their staff came up big. However, I think today’s going to be a tough road outing for the Cubs. This is a team that is just 12-15 on the road. They lose a little something when they travel, folks. I am well aware as I mentioned a moment ago, they came up big yesterday. But they still have problems with Pittsburgh as they have dropped four of the six meetings between these two division rivals thus far this season. Speaking of the Pirates, yesterday’s defeat ended their three-game hot streak. This is a team that is 15-14 at home, and on paper, scores more and allows less than their visiting opponent. So, this game is going to come down to pitching. Colin Rea and Paul Skenes are scheduled. The Chicago right-hander is 4-3 with a 4.83 ERA on the campaign. Over his career in 10 appearances, which includes eight starts against Pittsburgh, he is 3-3 with a 5.09 ERA. He is also winless on the road in 2026 campaign, going 0-2 with whopping ERA of 6.75. The Pirates right-hander is 6-4 with an ERA of 3.00 this season. In seven career starts against the Cubs, he is 2-2 with a 2.94 ERA, and at home in 2026, he has pitch quite well, going 3-2 with the 2.62 ERA. Skenes comes off his two worst appearances this season, and I expect him to bounce back here today in a big time. Prior to those last two outings, he had eight appearances, allowing a combined six earned runs. I feel he comes back to form here and pitches well, while his lineup takes care of the rest. Take the Pittsburgh Pirates. Thank you.

Free Major League Baseball Pick Today: Atlanta Braves -136 Action

Braves -137

Atlanta is worth a free move. The Braves send out Chris Sale, who is all too familiar with this ballpark. He’s also 7-3 so far with an ERA of under 2 as he continues to be just dominant for this rotation. Payton Tolle counters and this will be a bad matchup for him against the Braves, who typically bounce back in big ways after a bad offensive day. Expect Atlanta to get to him early and for Sale to settle in. Back Atlanta. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays.

Event: (951) Chicago Cubs at (952) Pittsburgh Pirates: Spencer Horwitz Hits + Runs + RBIs

Sport/League: MLB

Date/Time: May 28, 2026 6:40 PM EDT

Free Major League Baseball Pick Today: Spencer Horwitz Hits + Runs + RBIs Over 1.5 (-122) Action

Spencer Horwitz has become quite the pest for opposing pitchers. The Pirates' first baseman enters Thursday in the top-11th percentile among hitters in strikeout rate, walk rate and whiff rate. Bottomline: He's got a very good eye and he's putting a lot of balls in play. Horwitz has not been struck out in his last 23 plate appearances and he's recorded a hit in each of his last five games. Horwitz has cleared this runs + hits + RBI prop in 13 of his last 17 games, including each of his last four. He's hitting .301 with a .900 OPS against right-hand pitching this season, which is what he will see against Cubs' starter Collin Rea. All 14 of his extra-base hits have come against right-hand pitching. He should have some run-producing opportunities because hitting conditions are going to be favorable at PNC Park on Thursday and the Pirates have enjoyed success against Rea in the past. Pittsburgh's current roster is hitting .321 in 89 plate appearances against Rea with a very high .405 weighted on-base average. Rea has a 6.75 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP in four appearances away from Wrigley Field this season. Look for Horwitz to continue his hitting streak with another productive evening.

Free Major League Baseball Pick Today: Total Under 7.5 (-120) Spencer Arrighetti (RHP), Nathan Eovaldi (RHP) Must Start

Astros vs Rangers MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Rangers have scored three runs or fewer in four of their last five games, and against a red-hot Spencer Arrighetti (6–1, 1.32 ERA) they should find it tough to put runs on the board.

With Nathan Eovaldi (5–5, 3.65 ERA) on the mound, Texas still has a chance to pick up a win, like when he blanked Houston over seven innings on May 17, but runs should come at a premium for both sides.

The Bet: UNDER (3%). 

Bet to: Under 7½ -135.

Free Major League Baseball Pick Today: Total Over 8.5 (-115) Action

The Orioles put up an 11 spot while completing a sweep of the Rays yesterday, and more runs are on the way in this matchup as they welcome in Toronto for a long 4-game set. Despite having some success thus far, most of Patrick Corbin's metrics are in the dump. He enters this matchup with a wOBA of .344, doesn’t strike out many batters, and is getting hit hard, making him a prime regression candidate. Chris Bassitt’s numbers are even worse, entering in the bottom 10^th percentile in both K rate and chase percentage and the bottom 5 in pitching run value overall. The O’s also have one of the worst bullpens in the league and we’ll look for this one to go up and OVER the total.

Free Major League Baseball Pick Today: Chicago Cubs 146 Action

Marc David Sports' Free Pick - 4-1 Last 5 Free Picks!

We really like the underdog in this matchup. The Cubs halted a 10-game slide with a 10–4 win last night, and with Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes  (6–4, 3.00 ERA) looking more hittable lately , nine runs on 15 hits allowed over 10 innings across his last two starts, we think Chicago can do some damage again.

Value to +135.

Ricky's 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 5-1 in Chicago Cubs' last 6 games on the road.

- The over is 4-1 in Pittsburgh's last 5 head to head meetings against Chicago Cubs.

- The Over is 12-6 in Pittsburgh's last 18 games at home.

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