Free Major League Baseball Pick Today: New York Yankees -1.5 (-130) Action
Angels vs Yankees MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): The New York Yankees have had a very mediocre 10-8 start to the season and they've lost left-hander Max Fried's last two starts, but that just makes me more convinced he's due for a big outing. In his last start, Fried was effective with just 11.8 pitches per innings through eight innings of a no decision against the Rays. The Angle have yet to name their starter, and I don't like their options.
The Bet: YANKEES -1½ (3%).
Bet to: Yankees -1½ -150

Free Major League Baseball Pick Today: Texas Rangers -118 Jack Leiter (RHP), Jacob Lopez (LHP) Must Start
The Rangers have lost the first 2 games of the series to Oakland and look to salvage 1 out of 3 today with Jack Leiter on the bump. Leiter got off to a very good start in his first two outing until he hit a speed bump against the Dodgers. Jacob Lopez goes for Oakland and nothing has landed right for the southpaw this year. Lopez has made it to the 5th inning just once this year and he has given up 3 or more runs in each start. Lopez has given up 11 earned runs in 13 innings of work, and that will not cut it. Look for Texas to take advantage of Lopez's woes and get back on track with a win today.

We have a good one at Petco Park where the Padres have won 7 straight and 10 of 11. This team is hot and Walker Buehler didn’t allow a run on just 3 hits over 6 innings in his last start while not giving up a single walk. Luis Castillo clearly isn’t what he used to be, and he was rocked for 7 earned on 10 hits in just 3.1 innings last time out, and 4 runs over 3.2 the time before that. We’ll ride the hot team in San Diego tonight. Take the Padres.

KCR at DET — 4/16/2026
Projection: KCR 3.9, DET 3.5
First 5: KCR 2.0, DET 1.7
Projected total: 7.4 full game, 3.7 first 5
The market was sitting around KCR -108 to -118, DET +100 to -110, total 8.0, with the listed projected lineups showing Bubic vs. Montero and game-time weather around 63°F, 14 mph right-to-left wind, and roughly 54% rain risk. The live projected lineups were KC: Maikel Garcia, Bobby Witt Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino, Salvador Perez, Carter Jensen, Michael Massey, Jac Caglianone, Isaac Collins, Kyle Isbel and DET: Jahmai Jones, Gleyber Torres, Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene, Dillon Dingler, Matt Vierling, Wenceel Perez, Kevin McGonigle, Javier Báez.
Kris Bubic entered with a stronger current profile: 2-1, 2.50 ERA, 18.0 IP, 23 K, 0.83 WHIP on the official stat line, with ESPN also showing a top-tier WHIP rank and a strong early-season combined ERA/WHIP standing. Keider Montero entered with a strong results line as well, shown on the live boards as 1-1, 1.74 ERA, and a combined ERA/WHIP leaderboard slot slightly ahead of Bubic, though on the shorter sample and with lower strikeout volume. The combined starter-quality board placed Montero 5th and Bubic 9th among current MLB pitchers on the accessible leaderboard snapshot, which converts to Montero rank 5/30, Bubic rank 9/30 for the requested starter-rank chart.
The head-to-head sample favors Bubic more cleanly. Since 2024, and still inside the usable MLB window because the meaningful start was on 6/1/2025, Bubic has allowed 1 earned run in 9.0 innings against Detroit, including 7.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 9 K, 2 BB on June 1, 2025. Montero’s sample against Kansas City is more mixed: 11.2 innings, 13 hits, 4 earned runs, 5 strikeouts, 2 walks across two appearances since 2024, with the meaningful 2025 outing being 4.2 IP, 7 H, 0 ER on June 1, 2025. That gives Bubic the better opponent-specific baseline and the better strikeout expectation.
The recent-form offense split pushes the game lower. Kansas City’s season offense was poor overall at 55 runs, .216/.304/.331, and the recent form was colder: 24 runs and a .580 OPS over the last 10 games. Detroit’s season offense was better at 72 runs, .236/.325/.364, with a clearly better recent scoring environment than Kansas City, though still not explosive. The prior game in this series was another low-scoring game, DET 2, KCR 1, and Kansas City had been held to 2 or fewer runs in 8 of 17 games.
The bullpen comparison is close, but slightly favors Detroit on the blend used here. Team-wide last-10 ERA sat Tigers 3.69, Royals 3.71, essentially even, but the recent relief-only board placed Kansas City’s bullpen 23rd over the last 10 games, while Detroit’s recent reliever usage was steadier and cleaner in the immediate series context. Detroit also came in on a four-game winning streak, while Kansas City had just lost another one-run game and continued to show late-game bullpen instability. That nudges the late innings slightly toward Detroit even though Bubic is the better starter.
Comerica and the weather pull in opposite directions. The park is still less homer-friendly than the smaller AL parks, but the mid-60s temperature, crosswind, and rain threat do not create a strong over environment. Detroit was not returning home from a road trip here, so there is no flat-spot homecoming deduction. Kansas City was finishing the road stop before heading to New York, which adds a mild travel drag only on the margins. Overall, the environment projects a little below the market 8.0, not dramatically below it.
