Your Wednesday freebie is the Under in Chicago-Los Angeles.


The first two in this long four game set have both held Under the total, as the White Sox have now played 6 of their last 9 games Under the posted price, while the Angels have been Under in 11 of their last 15 games overall.


It will be James Shields and Tyler Skaggs in charge of keeping the runs off the board, and while Shields does possess an ERA of 4.26, the Under is a money-making 13-7-1 in his 21 starts this season.


As for Skaggs, his ERA of 2.68 keeps him hovering near the league leaders, and the Under has gone 3-1 his last 4 starts, and is on an overall 5-2 clip his last 7 trips to the mound.


Yes, there will be some runs, but I don't see enough to take this late-night affair from Anaheim Over the total.


Under in the Pale Hose-Halos game.


3* WHITE SOX-L.A. ANGELS UNDER

MLB | Padres vs Mets
Play on: Padres +111 at GTBets


1* Free Pick on Padres +111


I like the value here with the Padres as a short road underdog against the Mets in Wednesday's early MLB action. Lefty Clayton Richard will start for San Diego and while he was hit hard in his last start at Philadelphia, he's been pretty solid for the most part this season.


It was only the 4th start this season in which he allowed more than 4 runs and he's allowed 3 or fewer runs in 7 of his last 10 outings. He was sharp in his lone start against New York this season, giving up just 3 runs in 6 2/3 innings. Note that the Mets are just 3-13 in their last 16 home games vs a left-handed starter.


New York won yesterday's matchup 6-3 and that's worth noting, as the Mets are a mere 16-42 in their last 58 games after scoring 5 or more runs. They are also just 7-23 in their last 30 tries after a win and still a mere 5-15 in their last 20 vs a team with a losing record. Take San Diego!

MLB | Astros vs Rockies
Play on: Astros -118 at 5Dimes


Jack’s Free Pick Wednesday: Houston Astros -118


The Houston Astros are showing great value as small road favorites over the Colorado Rockies tonight. They should be bigger favorites based on the fact that they have a huge advantage on the mound in this one.


Charlie Morton has found his groove in Houston. He is 11-2 with a 2.96 ERA and 1.148 WHIP in 19 starts this season with 146 K’s in 112 1/3 innings. The Astros have done an amazing job of developing their starters as I’d put their rotation up against any in baseball.


Jon Gray is 8-7 with a 5.35 ERA and 1.440 WHIP in 18 starts for the Rockies this year. I’m surprised he is getting as much respect from oddsmakers as he is given those poor numbers in a large sample size this year.


Colorado is 1-12 in its last 13 home games vs. AL teams that allow 3.9 or fewer runs per game. Houston is 34-13 as a road favorite of -110 or higher this season, winning by 2.8 runs per game in this spot. The Astros are 7-0 in the last seven meetings. Bet the Astros Wednesday.

Play on: Red Sox -167 at betonline


On Hump Day, Play Against AL home underdogs with a money line of +125 or more like BALTIMORE hitting .265 or less, against a team with a bullpen ERA of 3.75 or lower, with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 7.50 or higher over his last three starts. In the last five years, teams like the Orioles are 10-49.

MLB | Giants vs Mariners
Play on: Mariners -135 at betonline


1 Unit Bonus Play on Seattle Mariners -135


The Seattle Mariners should get back in the win column after a tough loss to the Giants yesterday. I like what I’ve seen from Seattle starter Mike Leake this season. He is 8-6 with a 4.22 ERA in 20 starts. Leake has allowed 2 runs or fewer in six of his last nine starts against the Giants. Derek Holland has allowed 4 earned runs or more in five of his last eight starts against the Mariners. He is 3-4 with a 5.44 ERA in those eight starts while allowing 29 earned runs in 48 innings. Holland is 3-5 with a 4.18 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 10 road starts this year. The Giants are 42-89 in their last 131 road games vs. a team with a winning record. The Mariners are 24-9 in their last 33 home games. Give me the Mariners.

MLB | Dodgers vs Phillies
Play on: Dodgers -133 at BetPhoenix


10* FREE MLB PICK (Dodgers -133)


I'll take my chances here with the Dodgers securing a win on the road against the Phillies. A lot of people are going to consider taking the Phillies at this price with Jake Arrieta on the mound, but I feel the value is with LA. The Dodgers are absolutely crushing the baseball right now. LA is averaging 5.6 runs and hitting .282 as a team over their last 7 games. With 11 hits on Tuesday, they have now reached double-digit hits in 7 straight games. Arrieta is a big name, but he's got a mere 5.06 ERA and 1.417 WHIP in his last 9 starts. Dodgers will send out Walker Buehler, who is 4-1 with a 2.72 ERA and 0.994 WHIP in 10 starts. Give me Los Angeles -133!

MLB | Padres vs Mets
Play on: Mets -117 at BMaker


#MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN


I think we're getting good value on the NY Mets when they host the San Diego Padres Wednesday afternoon.


Mets rookie righty Corey Oswalt (0-2, 5.64 ERA) owns a respectable 3.27 ERA in two starts at Citi Field and held the Nats to one run through five frames his last time out.


Padres veteran southpaw Clayton Richard (7-9, 4.82 ERA) is 2-5 with a 4.37 ERA in nine career starts against the Mets. He is a winless 0-3 through his last five turns (Padres 1-4 in those games) and was lit up for seven runs through just three innings of an 11-5 loss at Pittsburgh last time out.


The Mets have split their last five games while the Friars have lost eight of their last 10.


Free pick on New York Mets.

CFL | Toronto vs Winnipeg
Play on: Winnipeg -11 -105 at YouWager


This is a 1* Bonus Play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.


Winnipeg smashed Toronto 38-20 last weekend and we think an even bigger blowout is in the cards this week. After suffering a horrible second half collapse in BC the week before, Matt Nichols and the Blue Bombers were firing on all cylinders against the defending champs last week. Argos’ backup QB James Franklin struggled for the most part against Winnipeg’s aggressive defensive attack and clearly it’s not going to get any easier tonight in this hostile environment. There are no easy answers for Toronto, which has dealt with chemistry issues from the “get go” this season. Note that the BOMBERS are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after scoring 36 or more points in their previous outing. Consider the home side in this one.

WEDNESDAY MLS SOCCER


7 Unit Play. Take Seattle 'PICK' +110 over San Jose (10:30p.m., Wednesday, July 25) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if Game ends in a DRAW we have a PUSH)
Tonight's soccer pitch at Avaya Stadium the San Jose Earthquakes welcome the Seattle Sounders and if you are a Quake fan this should be another downfall at home. San Jose is riding a 10-game winless streak heading into this home game and tonight I see the same outcome happening in San Jose. Seattle is coming into this pitch playing some of their best soccer all season long and getting play from unusual players. Seattle is 2-0-2 in their last 4 MLS games and their last 3 road pitches the Sounders are 1-0-2. The Sounders are coming off a big home win against Vancouver 2-0 and if they play like they did against the WhiteCaps I see the Sounders stealing this road game and we cash this plus money road ticket. San Jose hasn't won at home in a league game since March 3 against Minnesota and tonight I see the Sounders controlling the tempo and I see the Sounders winning this pitch 2-1.
