This is a free play on the Beavers.

I have bet on Utah three times already this season, cashing my ticket each time. I like the Utes, as the back to back PAC12 champs don't seem to get enough credit. That being said this appears to be a tough spot on the road in one of the more hostile environments the PAC12 has to offer. The Utes lost 42-34 the last time they played at Corvallis (2021). Last year the Beavers won 7-of-8 at home, and the one loss was a close game against USC that they were leading late. Oregon State is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 as a home favorite. Utah is banged up with several offensive stars sidelined by injury. They scored just 14 points in a home win over UCLA last week, and that just isn't going to be good enough here on the road.

1* FREE PLAY Cubs RUNLINE.

We've played on Chicago on the runline option in each of the last two games, and once again we feel that the desperate visiting side offers great value here to once again be competitive. The Cubs won the opener outright, then lost yesterday's contest by a score of 7-6, delivering the goods on the runline option. The Braves need a win to lock down the No. 1 seed, while Chicago needs a win to keep pace for a spot in the playoffs. The starting pitching matchup favors the visitors though, with Marcus Stroman (10-8, 3.88 ERA) having a clear advantage in our eyes over counterpart AJ Smith-Shawver (1-0, 4.57.) Consider Chicago on the runline on Thursday night!

AAA Sports

Sale hates Baltimore. In three starts against the Orioles this season, he's allowed 6, 5 and 7 earned runs. He went only 4, 5 and 3 innings. That's 18 earned runs in 12 innings. Final scores were 9-8, 4-5 (both h2h against Kremer) and 12-13. Six of Sale's past seven starts against Baltimore have produced at least eight runs. Kremer has a 6.40 ERA and 1.896 WHIP his last three. His past five starts have all produced at least nine runs. This number is low. Go with the Over.

Chicago has gone OVER 9.5 in 9 of their last 13 games. Atlanta has gone OVER 9.5 in 13 of their last 16 games.

4 of the 5 previous games between the teams this year went OVER 9.5.

Pick: Over 9.5

I like the twins to roll in this one. The Athletics are just going through the motions and they have been hoping the season would finish for a while now. They have the worst record in baseball and have been giving lesser-known pitchers starts. The twins will be going with Sonny Gray on the mound, as they look to fine-tune things for the playoffs. He has posted an outstanding 2.80 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP in his starts this season. Luis Medina gave up six runs over five innings in his most recent start. The Twins have won seven of their past 10 games, while the Athletics have lost eight of their past 10 games. The Twins have won nine of their past 10 matchups overall. The Twins are the only team averaging over six runs per game this month. The Twins should be able to put up multiple runs off the A's starter and pen. Gray will not give up much. lay the 1.5 runs on the Twins.

Play on Minnesota. Minus 1.5 runs. This is a free-play
