Free Sports Picks


Welcome to the free picks section of our site. Below you will find selections from some of the top handicappers in the world. The only thing that we ask you to remember is that these are not the best plays recommended by the services. What happens is the best bets get released to their premium subscribers and then if a game was close but not quite good enough to recommend to their clients they release it as a free game so you can see the analysis and what to expect out of them.

If you really want "free" picks from these handicappers to build your bankroll. I recommend you sign up at one of our sponsor sportsbooks using one of our links, tell them we sent you, and make a deposit. We will then give you a credit to use on a subscription to the premium picks issued by the handicappers on our site.

FREE PLAY for 5/24/13
Seattle Mariners +104
The Key: The Mariners have lost six in a row (all on the road) but I expect them to get back on track at home where they have won six of their last eight. Joe Saunders has been lights out at home where he's 3-0 with an ERA of 0.94 in four starts. He's been a tremendous investment in the home underdog role throughout his career. In fact, his teams are 17-8 in his last 25 starts as a home underdog of +100 or higher. Take Seattle.

The #1 RANKED CAPPER OVERALL IN 2012 is a RED HOT 8-3 (73%) the L6 days! He keeps the money train rolling Fri. w/ 3 more rock solid investments, including his 7* 26-0 NL Central GOTM!

Jack's Free Pick Friday: St. Louis Cardinals -117

The St. Louis Cardinals have a massive edge on the mound with Lance Lynn over Chris Capuano tonight. I'll gladly side with the small road favorite in this one. The Cardinals (30-16) are clearly the better team over the Dodgers (19-26).

Lynn is 6-1 with a 3.27 ERA and 1.164 WHIP through nine starts this season. Capuano is 1-2 with a 5.49 ERA and 1.424 WHIP through four starts this season, including 1-2 with an 8.03 ERA and 1.865 WHIP in his last three home starts.

St. Louis is 9-1 (+8.5 Units) against the money line vs. an average bullpen whose ERA is 3.75 to 4.50 this season. The Cardinals are 80-38 (+27.6 Units) against the money line vs. teams outscored by opp by 0.5 or more runs/game on the season over the last 3 seasons. Lynn is 22-6 (+13.0 Units) against the money line vs. an NL team with an on base percentage .325 or worse over the last 2 seasons. Bet the Cardinals Friday.

This is a 1* free "run-line" play on the Chicago White Sox over the Miami Marlins on Saturday night (7:15 EST).

Ricky Nolasco (3-5, 3.96 ERA) toes the rubber for the visitors; after three straight losses, Nolasco threw a gem in his last outing, striking out 11 Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing one run off five hits with a walk over 8 1/3's frames of work. Let's not read too much into that anomalous performance though; Nolasco has been the very definition of a "gas can" all year and is just 7-10 with a pedestrian 5.35 ERA in 19 career interleague starts. Nolasco will be opposed by Jake Peavy (5-2, 3.31 ERA) who gave up just four hits to the Angels last Sunday, but walked five batters, giving up four runs over six frames of work in the end. Peavy would finish with seven K's, but his string of four straight winning starts over his previous five outings came to and end. Here's a great opportunity for the veteran to return to form vs. the soft-hitting Marlins; the Fish are averaging a major league-low 2.7 runs per game. While the Sox have also struggled offensively this year, they come into this series with some momentum having won six of nine. I feel that the talent discrepancy both on the mound and at the plate justifies a second look at the White Sox on the "run-line" in this situation. How about you? What do you think? Is Peavy worth laying the 1.5 runs for the near pick-em price?

This is a 1* free play on the "under" between the St. Louis Cardinals and the LA Dodgers on Friday night (10:10 EST).

Lance Lynn (6-1, 3.27 ERA) gets the call for the visitors; Lynn is coming off a no-decision vs. the Brewers on Saturday in which he gave up four runs off eight hits over five frames of work; he'd strike out three and walk two. For the most part Lynn has been the very model of consistency this year and he'll look to bounce back with a better effort vs. a team he's enjoyed success against in the past, going 1-0 with a very respectable 3.75 ERA in two career starts at Dodger Stadium. Lynn will be opposed by Chris Capuano (1-2, 4.84 ERA) who went eight frames on Saturday vs. the Braves, allowing five hits, leaving the game with a 1-0 lead with a strained calf: "It wasn't affecting pitch execution out there," Capuano assessed afterwards. "It just feels a little tired. I've got an extra day before the next start (Friday against the Cardinals). With treatment and stuff we should be able to get that ready." The southpaw is 1-1 with a 3.57 ERA over his last three starts, allowing two runs off 10 hits with a walk over his last two. Two competent starters going head to head vs. a couple of inconsistent lineups; I feel the table is set for a low-scoring pitchers duel. How about you? What do you think? Slug-fest or duel?

Play on: Los Angeles (962) over St. Louis (NL) @ 10:10 Eastern
The Dodgers finished in second place in the West last season 86-76. A good overall campaign statistically, but very disappointing from the perspective of a fan. Here we are approaching the beginning of June and LA is struggling with a 19-26 start, 11-13 at home sitting last in the division. The Dodgers showed positive signs on Wednesday night with a solid 9-2 road victory over Milwaukee, taking the series. Manager Don Mattingly goes back to lefty Capuano (1-2, 4.84) for a shot at continuing on the up-tick. Since coming out of the pen the veteran has thrown back-to-back quality outings, including a masterful 7 1/3 inning log against the Braves, giving just 1 run to that hard hitting unit. The Dodgers are 8-2 Capuano’s starts after allowing two runs or less in their last game.

We know the Cardinals are riding high with an incredible 30-16 record to begin the season. The pitching is in good order backed by a hitting unit bringing six, .300+ hitters to the playing field. Tonight the mound host for St. Louis is RHP Lance Lynn who has a solid 6-1 (3.27) record in 2013. Lynn is 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA L3 times out, but is coming off a mediocre performance versus Milwaukee. The hurler gave up four runs in five innings. It was the first time in recent efforts Lynn did not complete seven innings of work. As far as effective pitching cycles go, Lynn maybe on the down side of the curve.

In closing, the Cardinals are just 2-6 L8 outings on the coast and 0-4 L4 vs. LHP. So, if Capuano can put together a solid 6+ innings the Dodgers should pick up a much needed win in this hotly contested rivalry.
