Sunday MLB Free play. My selection is on Boston over Atlanta at 1:35 pm et on Sunday. This game presents a starting pitching mismatch as the Red Sox hand the ball to their ace Garrett Crochet against Braves starter Bryce Elder. Note that Atlanta has struggled against left-handed pitching this season, ranking 20th in the majors in weighted on base average. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are sixth in baseball in wOBA against right-handed pitching. Crochet comes off a start in which he gave up just two earned runs while striking out 11 in 6 2/3 innings against the Brewers. With that being said, the Sox have gone 0-3 in his last three outings so he'll be looking to put an end to that skid here. Elder has pitched better in recent outings but still owns a lofty 4.90 FIP in eight starts this season. The bullpen matchup is a virtual wash with the Braves sitting just one spot ahead of the Sox in xFIP this season. Look for Boston to do enough damage against Elder early to help secure the victory. Take Boston.

Boston Red Sox (Garrett Crochet) vs Atlanta Braves (Bryce Elder)
Boston Red Sox -130 (Consensus Line)
Take Boston When diving into the road/home splits this season for the starting pitchers, there is a bit of a gap as Garrett Crochet is 4-1 with a 1.76 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP in 41.0 innings (six road starts) while Bryce Elder is 1-0 with a 3.27 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP in 22.0 innings (four home starts)...
Take Boston When diving into the road/home splits this season for the starting pitchers, there is a bit of a gap as Garrett Crochet is 4-1 with a 1.76 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP in 41.0 innings (six road starts) while Bryce Elder is 1-0 with a 3.27 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP in 22.0 innings (four home starts) this season. Hitting with runners in scoring position shows a slight difference as the Red Sox are tied with the Minnesota Twins for 15th with a .718 team OPS with runners in scoring positon while the Braves are tied with the Seattle Mariners for 18th with a .701 team OPS in those situations. All in all, go with the Boston Red Sox to win this game.

Garrett Crochet has lived up to his off-season demands with a 2.04 ERA so far in 75 innings for the Red Sox.

Garrett Crochet has lived up to his off-season demands with a 2.04 ERA so far in 75 innings for the Red Sox. He has stranded almost 84 percent of his baserunners for some good fortune while his home run rate is likely to climb over time. Boston has lost four of his last five starts however and Atlanta has hit .262 vs. lefthanded pitching in the past 10 games. The Braves are playing better than the season record suggests considering the 0-7 start to the season and the return of Ronald Acuna and Spencer Strider. Bryce Elder has average numbers so far in 2025 but is set to return after having two AAA stints this season. He didn’t pitch well in early April, but he has a 3.10 ERA in his last five MLB starts including four quality starts in that run. Boston has won just 40 percent of its road games this season while Atlanta is 17-10 at Truist Park and the Red Sox are 1-6 in the past seven games with a combined 15 runs scored as this has been a low point for the offense on the current road trip. Atlanta has a 2.94 bullpen ERA in the past 10 games compared to a 4.31 ERA for Boston relievers and the early edge on the mound behind Crochet Sunday might not be enough over nine innings for the Red Sox given the recent contrasting trajectories for these teams. Thank you for playing with Nelly’s and Best of Luck. Nelly’s went 2-0 yesterday and we are 8-2 in our last 10 releases overall, while leading BigAl.com in MLB net profit the past 60 days!

At 1:40 pm, our complimentary selection is on the San Francisco Giants over Miami Marlins. On a day when runs seemed to be flowing like the water over Niagara Falls, with four teams (the Rays, Dodgers, Nationals, and Brewers) scoring seemingly at will, the Giants and Marlins played to a 1-0 final. Add that to Friday's 2-0 victory by San Francisco and you have a couple of serious pitching duels. It could be more of the same today as Hayden Birdsong and Ryan Weathers take to the mound for this rubber match between the Giants and Marlins at pitcher-friendly LoanDepot Park. After starting in all 16 of his appearances in 2024, Birdsong began 2025 in the SF bullpen but an injury to Justin Verlander has opened the door for the 23-year-old to get back to the rotation and so far, it's been a success. In two starts, Birdsong has allowed three runs in just over nine innings and those were against the Royals and Tigers -- two very good AL clubs. In 32 2/3 total innings, Birdsong has 35 strikeouts and 12 walks, indicating that he should be up to the task today. Take San Francisco. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

For my top free pick this Sunday, I'm focusing on the WNBA matchup between the New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun, with the Liberty hosting. While not the sharpest play on the board, I believe this is a strong opportunity for easy money. Many bettors saw the Sun upset the Fever as heavy double-digit underdogs, which will likely make them a popular public bet as underdogs early on Sunday. However, the New York Liberty are the best team in the league and consistently play with relentless intensity. Expect a dominant performance, with New York winning by 30 points or more. **Pick: New York Liberty - Lay the Points** ***DO NOT MISS MY TITANIUM BEST BET 32-22 59.2% LAST 54 AND ALL SPORTS RUN OF 37-20 65%***

The three-game series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers will end with their final matchup on June 1, 2025 at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers have won the first two games against the Yankees by claiming an overwhelming 18-2 victory on Saturday during which they recorded 21 hits to achieve their highest score against New York. As the Yankees face the Dodgers in their final matchup of the series they will start their game with left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough at the mound. Throughout his past four starts, left-hander Ryan Yarbrough has maintained a strong performance with a 2.25 ERA. Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers will take the mound with a 6-3 season record and a 1.97 ERA this year. At the top of the Yankees' hitting lineup stands Aaron Judge with a batting average of .398 while hitting 21 home runs and accumulating 50 RBIs. The Dodgers respond with Shohei Ohtani who ranks first in MLB with 22 home runs while maintaining a .298 batting average. Both games have flown over the total thus far and that was even with the best pitcher in baseball (Fried) starting game two. I don't really care who is on the mound, these teams will produce the runs against each other. Take the OVER. Jim's Free Play : 929. Yankees/Dodgers OVER 9

At 7:10pm Et, my complimentary play is on LA. The Dodgers decisively defeated the Yankees yesterday. The 18-2 thrashing followed an 8-5 LA win on Friday. Given those results, some may be inclined to favor the Yankees in tonight's game. However, I advise against it. The pitching matchup features Ryan Yarbrough for the Yankees against Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the Dodgers, strongly favoring Los Angeles to complete a three-game sweep. Yamamoto, boasting a 6-3 record and a 1.97 ERA across 11 starts this season, has a proven track record against the Yankees, excelling in both last year’s regular season and the World Series. Yarbrough, a former Dodger, does not match Yamamoto’s caliber. While the Yankees may improve offensively compared to yesterday, their efforts are unlikely to suffice. The Yankees have a potent offense, but the Dodgers’ hitting is even better. With a 21-8 home record, the Dodgers continue to assert their dominance over their American League rivals. Play on LA.

The Golden State Valkyries return home after back-to-back road games visiting the defending champion New York Liberty. The expansion Valkyries took a beating in the first meeting, but looked respectable in the second game. Battle-tested and still playing with an air of confidence for coach Natalie Nakase, I like the Valkyries to keep tonight's game close against the Minnesota Lynx. The Lynx opened the season with two road games - in Dallas and Los Angeles - but then enjoyed three home games. Friday they went to Phoenix and escaped with a three-point win. It marked Minnesota's fourth straight close call, as it's won by 4, 7, 5 and 3 points, including wins over two of the worst teams in the league: Dallas and Connecticut. And those games were in Minneapolis. Finishing up a two-game trip before a one-off at home, I'm backing the home dog tonight. ...

There is plenty of WNBA action for Sunday, and I'm banking on the early-season rematch between two teams off losses. Phoenix is in L.A. tonight, and I love this game.
