Scott Rickenbach MLB free bet June 27

*action on pitchers* MLB Monday Free Pick OVER 8.5 in Kansas City Royals vs Texas Rangers @ 8:10 ET – The Rangers should hammer a struggling Bubic. I like overs in spots like this when it is the road team with the better pitcher on the mound because usually the home team is destined to get their runs regardless. At the same time the road team should pound at the plate when they face a struggling pitcher even though they are away from home and that is the set up we have here. Bubic is 0-3 with a 7.78 ERA at home this season. As strong as Perez has been for Texas this season, he has allowed 20 hits in 12 innings in his last two road starts. More of the same here. The Royals have scored an average of 6 runs per game last 7 home games. The Rangers have scored an average of 7 runs per game last 6 road games. Free Pick OVER 8.5 in Kansas City .

*action on pitchers* Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach MLB Friday Free Pick Milwaukee Brewers +105 @ Cincinnati Reds @ 6:40 ET – I know the Brewers have been struggling but this is a great value spot for them in my opinion. Milwaukee is scheduled to start Eric Lauer and he has better numbers on the season than Hunter Greene. I know Greene has perhaps deserved better but still he gives up the big hits when it matters the most and that is why he has the higher ERA. Also, regardless of starting pitchers here, note all the support for the road team in this one. Milwaukee is 19-11 in divisional games and 25-17 versus right-handers. Cincinnati is 10-13 in divisional games and 7-11 versus lefties. Also, Reds are 13-24 in night games while Brewers are 22-18 in night games this season. Solid line value with the road team at a pick’em price. Free Pick MILWAUKEE -105.

Akron vs Miami OH prediction – ASA – Feb 12

ASA free pick Friday – #863 Akron -4 @ Miami OH, 7PM ET – Akron looks to keep pace with Toledo who leads the MAC as of this writing with an 11-2 overall record with Akron right behind them at 9-3. Miami OH is currently 6th and fading fast with a 1-3 SU record their last four games with the only win coming against 4-11 overall Western Michigan. The Redhawks own a negative scoring differential of minus -9.2PPG in that four-game stretch. The Zips come into this contest on a 5 game winning streak with a +12PPG scoring differential average in those five contests. They’ve held their last five opponents to just 40.8% shooting. Akron has one of the best players in the MAC on their roster in Loren Christian Jackson who is averaging 21.3PPG and 6.6APG. The Zips should score at will here against a Redhawks team that is 9th in the conference in defensive efficiency allowing 1.091PPP and 9th in EFG% defense allowing 54.1%. Akron ranks in the top five offensively is the same categories and have the second-best defensive efficiency rating and EFG% defense. Toledo was favored by 4-points on this floor earlier this season and won by 9-points. The Rockets though were covering the spread in that game for 90% of the minutes played. We will lean towards the Zips in this game and predict a 7-10-point win.
