NFLX | Saints vs Browns

Play on: UNDER 38½ -115



Game Analysis


Osweiller will get the start for the Browns; he's expected to be backed up by Kessler, Kizer and Hogan. While Osweiller and co. would obviously like to perform well, the biggest goal for teams in Week 1 of the preseason is simply to avoid injury.
Its true that the Saints are known as an offensive team with a suspect defense. We're not going to see much from their offensive weapons here though. A date with the Browns provides a potential opportunity for the defense to gain some early confidence.
Over the past three seasons, the Browns have scored 11, 17 and 12 points in their Week 1 preseason game. With scores of 17-11, 20-17 and 13-12, all three of those games produced 37 or fewer combined points. Provided this O/U line stays above that important number, take a look at the Under.

NFLX | Saints vs Browns

Play on: Saints +3 -105 at BMaker



Game Analysis



The Saints are going into this season in an interesting situation. I see Michael Thomas becoming the predominate WR for New Orleans, he is going to have a ton of targets. Whatever gets the Saints team to load up the points game every week is what matters here - I fully expect the Saints to get Thomas involved, in his time on the field, enough to take advantage of a young Cleveland team. Cleveland is better than what they had before with Myles Garrett at DE. But he is still young and the Saints still have a QB that is a premier guy to defend against. Saints are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games and I like their QB rotation here with - Drew Brees, Chase Daniel, Garrett Grayson, and Ryan Nassib expected to get the majority of the 2nd half.. New Orleans wins taking the points

KEY STAT: Bury have kept clean sheets in their last two home games

EXPERT VERDICT: Bury might be a modest League One outfit but it’s hard to trust Sunderland and the Shakers should make them work hard on their trip to Gigg Lane. The hosts lost more home games than any other team in their division last term, but the discontent in the Sunderland camp makes them vulnerable.

RECOMMENDATION: Draw

MLB | LAA vs SEA

Play on: UNDER 8 -115



Game Analysis




A couple of capable hurlers collide on Thursday night and it would appear that runs will likely be at a premium in this one.

Tyler Skaggs: He’s 1-2 with a 4.32 ERA. Skaggs returned from injury to face the A’s on Saturday and gave up three earned runs over four innings of work. So far Skaggs has a very respectable 3.12 ERA on the road this season.


John Paxton: He’s 12-3 with a 2.70 ERA. Paxton most recently allowed two runs off four hits with seven K’s over six frames in a victory over KC on Friday. The flame-throwing right-hander has now posted seven straight victories and struck out at least seven opponents in each of his last six trips to the hill (note that he’s been particularly effective at home this year as well by going 7-2 with a 2.15 ERA.)


The bottom line: We’re expecting these starters to battle into the latter frames which we believe will help in contributing to a lower-scoring UNDER once it’s all said and done.

MLB | Padres vs Reds

Play on: Padres +126 at BMaker



Game Analysis


Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach Free Pick Thursday MLB San Diego Padres Money Line (+) @ Cincinnati Reds @ 12:35 PM ET - The Padres had won 4 of the 5 meetings with Cincinnati prior to yesterday's ugly 8-3 loss. Look for Dinelson Lamet to lead the way for San Diego to get right back on track against the Reds early Thursday. Lamet has been throwing extremely well in his last 3 starts - 3-0 with 1.96 ERA and 0.93 WHIP - and the Padres have won 6 of his last 8 starts! Lamet has been fantastic in those 6 outings and I expect more of the same here. The Reds, on the other hand, have not enjoyed much success with Luis Castillo on the mound. Cincinnati has lost 4 of his last 5 starts and he has struggled with command particularly in his home outings. Fade Castillo here and grab the underdog value with the Padres as they hold the pitching edge here and should improve to 5-2 in games against the Reds this season! Free Pick SAN DIEGO on the money line in early afternoon action Thursday. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

NFLX | Saints vs Browns

Play on: Browns -3 -114 at betonline



Game Analysis

Saints vs Browns NFLX Free Pick August 11, 2017. There is only one experienced NFL coach that has yet to win a pre-season game, and that's Cleveland's Hue Jackson. The Browns were 0-4 under Jackson last year, but I like their chances of picking up a rather meaningless "W" in Thursday's home game against New Orleans. The Browns might be weak at quarterback, but both Brock Osweiler and Cody Kessler have experience starting in the league. With the starter's job wide open, expect them both to play. Drew Brees came in and threw one pass in last year's pre-season opener, and we don't expect to see much of him here in this game. Sean Payton and the Saints are 0-8 in the pre-season the last two years, and Payton likely won't lose any sleep if they lose here at Cleveland. Cleveland has nothing to lose here, given that there really isn't a huge gap in talent between it's first string and second string players. I expect the Browns to keep the starters in a little longer than New Orleans, and really try to win this game. Take CLE. GL, Jesse Schule

MLB | Yankees vs Blue Jays


Play on: Yankees -143 at BMaker



10* MLB FREE PICK (Yankees -143)


New York is certainly worth a look here in Thursday's AL East clash with the Blue Jays. The Yankees are going to send out their big new addition in Sonny Gray, who pitched well in his debut with his new team. Gray allowed just 2 earned runs in 6 innings at Cleveland. It's another really good outing, as he's now got a 1.59 ERA in his last 7 starts. Certainly doesn't hurt that the's got a 2.54 ERA in 5 career starts against the Blue Jays, including a recent outing where he didn't allow an earned run in 6 innings. On the flip side of this Toronto sends out Marco Estrada, who is 4-7 with a 5.12 ERA in 23 starts on the year and has allowed 13 runs on 14 hits and 6 walks in his last two starts (both this season) against the Yankees. Give me New York -143!

MLB | Mets vs Phillies


Play on: Phillies +135 at GTBets



This game features the 50-61 Mets at the 42-69 Phillies. Phillies have won 3 straight off another dominant series versus the Braves seemingly the only team the Phillies can beat. Mets are 2-8 last 10 and have lost 10 of 13 games and this team seems to have zero fight. Vince Velasquez has looked a'lot better since coming back off the DL. If Vince can go deep the Phillies have a great chance at winning and this plus money is hard to not play on. Big money going in on the Mets makes me like the Phillies even more grab them for a 15* winner.

MLB | Pirates vs Tigers


Play on: Pirates -153 at BMaker





My money is on Pittsburgh Thursday afternoon against Detroit. The Pirates were embarrassed yesterday in a 10-0 loss to the Tigers and should be 100% locked in for this one. Helping matters is the fact that Pittsburgh has their ace Gerrit Cole on the mound. While Cole comes in with a 4.00 ERA in 23 starts this season, he's been absolutely dealing here of late. He's working on 6 straight starts where he's pitched at least 6 innings and allowed 2 or fewer earned runs.
Detroit counters with Drew Verhagen who has pitched okay in his first two big league starts. He's got a 3.60 ERA, but has completed just 5 innings in each of his first two starts (both losses). My big concern is that in his 10 innings of work he's almost got as many walks (5) as strikeouts (7). I'll take my chances that the Pirates score enough here to secure the win. Take Pittsburgh!

Play Miami/Washington Under the total.
