“Rickey is ok with this as long as Rickey knows when Rickey is going to play.”
– Rickey Henderson on sharing time in left field with Greg Vaughn during the 1996 season
1. Cleveland Indians (-150) @ Chicago White Sox (O/U 8.5)
Our model is showing nice value on the home dawgs in this spot. We priced the game close to pick ‘em so we’ve gotta take the +135 on the White Sox every time. Furthermore, its also a good sell high/buy low spot on the respective teams.
Selection: White Sox ML (+135) to Win 1 unit.
2. Colorado Rockies (+195) @ Arizona Diamondbacks (O/U 9.5)
The 2025 Colorado Rockies are one of the worst baseball teams of all time. With that being said, we’re showing significant value on them here and we like the spot. After getting completely embarrassed in their last series, look for ‘em to have a massive chip (perhaps Rock) on their shoulders in this spot.
Selection: Rockies (+195) to Win 1 unit.
3. Boston Red Sox (+150) @ San Diego Padres (O/U 7.5)
This is a prime play for us on Friday night- we Love the Padres here on the RL. First we have it priced significantly off market at -130 versus the market price of +125. Moreover, its a playoff-type matchup between two highly motivated ball-clubs right now. We give a huge pitching edge to Nick Pivetta on the bump. Walker Buehler hasn’t been himself all season long and has been over-priced for his 2024 form for the Dodgers- we look for that to continue here. Moreover, Pivetta being a former member of the Red Sox will have an additional motivational edge. Finally, we think the Friday night home crowd will also have an impact here. Look for the Padres to make a statement win and pull away in this match-up.
Selection: Padres -1.5 (+125) to Win 2 units.
