Kansas City Royals +115 (Caesars)

Thursday MLB Free play. My selection is on Kansas City over Detroit at 1:10 pm et on Thursday. We'll take a flyer on the Royals as they look to avoid the three-game sweep at the hands of the Tigers on Thursday afternoon in Detroit. We've been down on Royals starter Jon Heasley for much of the season but there's no denying he's pitched well lately. He's worked at least six innings and allowed two earned runs or less in three of his last four outings. Over his last two starts he has given up just one earned run in 12 2/3 innings of work. Four starts back he was on the mound for a 12-2 Royals win here in Detroit as he tossed seven innings of two-run ball. The Tigers did get back at him in his next start tagging him for seven earned runs in four innings. I look for Heasley to make the necessary adjustments against Detroit here. Tigers starter Eduardo Rodriguez has allowed 18 earned runs over his last five starts, covering a span of 28 1/3 innings. In seven daytime outings this season he has posted a 5.52 ERA and 1.60 WHIP with the Tigers winning only two of those games. Take Kansas City.

Rickenbach Free Pick Thursday MLB
Philadelphia Phillies vs Chicago Cubs
Philadelphia Phillies -190 (DraftKings)
NOTE: -190 is the money line price. Considering the run line is absolutely also an option with this one if you prefer: MLB Thursday Free Pick Philadelphia Phillies Run Line -1.5 -120 @ Chicago Cubs @ 2:20 ET - The Phillies outhit the Cubs 11-6 last night and the Cubs only scored in 1 inning but i...
NOTE: -190 is the money line price. Considering the run line is absolutely also an option with this one if you prefer: MLB Thursday Free Pick Philadelphia Phillies Run Line -1.5 -120 @ Chicago Cubs @ 2:20 ET - The Phillies outhit the Cubs 11-6 last night and the Cubs only scored in 1 inning but it was a big one. Chicago got 4 runs in bottom of 5th including a 3-run bomb. Ironically, if Brewers beat out Phillies for final wild card spot in NL, they will have the division rival Cubs to thank as Chicago has won all 5 games against Philadelphia so far. I am going with action on pitchers as I look for a Philadelphia bounce back either way but I will mention that the expected starters are Ranger Suarez and Javier Assad. Suarez is 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA since mid-July. Assad is 0-2 with a 6.35 ERA in his 3 home starts for the Cubs this season. He is off B2B bad starts even though he faced a bad Pirates team and then, prior to that, hosted a Rockies team that is one of the worst in the league on the road. That does not bode well for him tonight against a potent Phillies lineup that is sure to cash in more of their opportunities unlike last night. Philadelphia has had only one losing streak last longer than 4 games since the All Star Break. The Phillies respond big here and win this by a multi-run margin. Free Pick PHILADELPHIA -1.5 -120

ROGERS' FREE RAYS-GUARDIANS WINNER
Tampa Bay Rays vs Cleveland Guardians
Tampa Bay Rays -115 (Caesars)

This is a critical game for the Rays, and not so for Cleveland. Springs starts for the Rays and he has been dependable and solid down the stretch. Quantrill will pitch for the Guardians and while he has an unbeaten record at home, he is allowing a ton of hits this month, with opposing batters hitting well over .300. Quantrill is due for a tumble here. The Rays are extremely well coached team, and very good in a clutch situation. Look for the Rays to come out on top today and win on the road.

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our Thursday Free Play. After winning the series opener on Tuesday, Tampa Bay lost 2-1 last night in extra innings on Wednesday but lost no ground in the Wild Card as it remains a game and a half behind Toronto for first place but the third place Mariners closed the gap to a half-game. this is not the easiest stretch to end the season as the Rays final nine games take place on the road where they are now 34-40 compared to their 51-30 final record at home. The chances of falling out of the playoffs completely are slim as they are five games ahead of the Orioles but with Houston and Boston on deck, nothing will come easy. Jeffrey Springs gets the ball for Tampa Bay and he has had a very solid season with a 2.79 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 23 starts which includes a 1.78 ERA over his last five starts which have all resulted in wins for the Rays. Cleveland is playing on the string of the regular season as it has clinched the No. 3 spot in the American League with this being the possibility of a first round Wild Card matchup. The Guardians are 41-33 at home following the victory last night and while winning 10 of their last 12 games overall, the bats have come to life but one look at the starting pitching opposition is a big reason for that. Cal Quantril has been the lost man forgotten in this rotation as he quietly has put together a 3.49 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 30 starts and he has allowed three runs or less in seven straight starts. This is a late season situation in our favor as playing against a locked in playoff team that is going with a top line starter is the way to go as he will not be overly pressed. Tampa Bay is 14-1 this season when the listed total is 7.0 or less. Play (965) Tampa Bay Rays After a Wednesday Winner with the Brewers, Matt is riding a PERFECT 15-0 Run in All Sports since Friday and he is looking to continue the week with a big day on the bases! He has a Top Play with his MLB Sweet Spot that he loves so do not miss out on this monster as this one wins with ease! Fargo went a PERFECT 5-0 in the NFL Sun/Mon and he is on a PERFECT 11-0 Football run! He is now 14-5 in the NFL this season! PERFECT 5-0 CFB Saturday!

The ever changing AL Wild Card positions are tight as we head into the last games of the regular season. The Tampa Bay Rays are in 2nd place in the race, 1.5-games back of Toronto and a half game ahead of third place Seattle. Meanwhile, the Indians have nothing at stake as they have clinched the AL Central and just await the playoffs and who they will face. Right now the Indians look to face the third place Wild Card team, which could be these Rays. The Rays will turn to Jeffrey Springs today. Springs is 8-4 on the season with a 2.79 ERA. He's been better of late, posting a 4-1 record in his last seven starts and a 2.67 ERA. Cleveland will counter with Cal Quantrill who is 14-5 on the season with a 3.49 ERA. Quantrill has also been better of late with a 5-0 mark his last seven and a 2.52 ERA. Looks like a good pitcher's duel here tonight. Your free play is on the UNDER.

NFL Thurs Night Game of the Month! 9-2 in NFL
Oakland Athletics vs Los Angeles Angels
Los Angeles Angels -1.5 (-115) (DraftKings)
This should be one of the bigger pitching mismatches of the night. Cole Irvin has fallen on hard times since his third start in August and I expect the Angel bats to take full advantage. LAA has given Oakland plenty of trouble in 2022 and I doubt the A's will find an answer for Shohei Ohtani, who...
This should be one of the bigger pitching mismatches of the night. Cole Irvin has fallen on hard times since his third start in August and I expect the Angel bats to take full advantage. LAA has given Oakland plenty of trouble in 2022 and I doubt the A's will find an answer for Shohei Ohtani, who continues to dazzle on the mound. My Thursday comp: Angels -1.5. NOTE: We're on a 30-9 overall run and 9-2, 82% in the NFL this season. I have my NFL Thursday Night Game of the Month tonight between Miami and Cincinnati. And my college card is led by a Conference Game of the Year! 13-2 and 38-19 CFB runs. Get my football all weekend long. Thanks and best of luck! Jack Banks.

Now that the Los Angeles Angels have been eliminated from the American League playoff race, they are finally playing better baseball. The Angels won for the fourth time in their previous five games with their 4-1 victory against the A’s last night. LA has won seven of their last ten games against opponents not winning more than 40% of their games on the season. In their last ten games at home when the oddsmakers install the over/under from 7 to 8.5, the Angels have won seven of these games. Oakland has dropped five of their last six, and they have won just one time in their last five games on the road. The A’s have beaten only one losing team in their last five opportunities. With Shohei Ohtani expected to be on the mound, play the Los Angeles Angels with the money line. Good luck - TDG. $$$ Team Del Genio’s is on a 13-4 (76%) NFL run after winning their NFL Monday Night Total of the Month with the Cowboys/Giants under! The Teams tests their 22-8 (73%) NFL Game of the Month/Year run with the SMART PLAY ONCE AGAIN being with the over/under for the Miami/Cincinnati showdown with their 25* NFL Total of the Month!
