CIN vs. MIN – Taj Bradley is 3-0 with a 1.25 era vs. CIN, Abbott is facing the interleague matchup for the first time. The Reds are my team and they won yesterday, but today my pick is Min -130 with 97% on consensus, but I won't bet that most likely because the "Reds are on the Rad ee o"

METS vs. CHC – An old foe faces the Cubs with his new team. Peralta is 9-3 3.21 era vs. the Cubs. On the other side is Jameson Taillon who is sporting a 4-0 1.96 era vs. the Mets. This thing opened at -137 and has adjusted down to an even money game with the Cubs at -107. Peralta's stats shrink more at Wrigley an itty bitty 1.77 era over 91.2 innings. What about the wind? Yesterday I had the over 10.5 whereas today its at 8.5 without really much action on the total. My picks here are is the UNDER 8.5 by the way 89% consensus is on the Cubs but with Peralta's domination at Wrigley I'll pass and move on.

KC vs. NYY- The Yankees have taken 13 of 15 vs. KC. Noah Cameron only start vs the Yanks he was 6 run 7 hits given up. KC has lost 5 in row. Warren is facing KC for the first time. Consensus 99% on NYY and where else could I pick but the Yankees so you see all the one way stats the Yanks have been winning 86% of the time here so there is still a 14% chance the Royals strike in the Bronx. Pick NYY -177

TAM vs. PIT – Rasmussen 1-0 with a 2.19 era vs. Skenes who has a .64 era vs. Tampa. Pittsburgh is 11-16 all time vs. Tampa the Pirates winning yesterday. My pick here UNDER 7 and I think it'll be a close game so I think Skenes is pitching slightly better at home 98 % consensus on the Pirates, but the Rays at least give themselves a chance to stay in with Rasmussen most likely. Pirates -168

STL vs. HOU Pallante 1.80 era 1-0 vs. STROS, McCullers no starts vs Cards I can find. 93% of almost no action so far on the Astros who may win today but are off to a rough start.

TOR vs. ARI Scherzer is 9-0 2.65 era vs. D-backs, Gallen is 0-1 9.35 era vs. Blue Jays, 97 % consensus on the D-backs but I'm not in agreement, my picks is Toronto +1.5

CWS vs. OAK – Fredde is 7-4 with a 3.11 vs. OAK, Severino is 2-3 with a 4.44 era vs. CHW – Oakland lost yesterday to the White Sox but has won 13-7 last 20 matchups. Pick Athletics -160 Consensus 100% so far and that is the what concerns me is the overload on the A's despite the Sox still putting a quality starter out.

DET vs. BOS – Skubal 2-2 4.30 era vs. BOS Brayan Bello 0-1 5.74 era vs. Det. Detroit 11-9 last 20 vs Boston. -170 price on Skubal as the Red Sox are never easy but this should be the Tigers "Day" 99% consensus on the -167 which is my pick Detroit -167

SF vs. WAS Houser 0-1 1.37 era vs. Nationals, Cavali 4.18 over first 4 starts. SF 6-4 last 10 vs. WAS. The Giants took the series opener yesterday 10-5 and we have seen these teams kind of go back and forth. I'm gonna slide over to the total play here and take OVER 9.5 consensus 64% on the road Giants

MIL vs. MIA – Woodruff 4-0 2.53 era vs. Marlins, Alcantara 2-1 3.08 era vs. Brewers. The Marlins won yesterday in a game that was 5-7. This one could go over but if it does I would say its most likely in the hands of the bullpen. We see one of todays lower totals at 7.5 and I'll take that UNDER 7.5

ATL vs. PHI – Sale 2-2 with a 4.05 era vs. Phillies, Sanchez 0-3 4.32 era vs. Braves. Philly has won 12 of 20 games vs. ATL. ATL +111 is my pick and 57% of barely any action on this game is on the Braves.

BAL vs. CLE – Kramer 0-3 6.50 era vs. Cleveland, Williams 0-2 9.28 era vs. Orioles. Baltimore has won 11 of 20 games vs. CLE, amazingly 99% consensus is on Cleveland here as I guess they are expecting a better performance from Gavin Williams. I see the total at only 7.5 which means current season matters more to the books or something. Ill fade consensus and take BAL +1.5

TEX vs. SEA – Eovaldi 3-4 5.27 era, George Kirby 8-1 vs. TEX, 95% consensus and myself are on Seattle -140.

LAD vs. COL- Sheehan – 4-0 3.75 era vs. COL, Feltner 1-3 6.75 era vs. LAD, LA is 17-3 last 20 vs. COL, at -270 thats too much for me to lay even then. I'll take LAD -1.5

SD vs. LAA – Marquez 0-2 3.54 era vs LAA, Kukuchi 1-1 4.95 era vs. SD, My pick is OVER 9.5, consensus 90% over and 57% on Padres with little action on the game as a whole compared to rest of the board.

As always best of luck and enjoy your Saturday

WAS VS. PIT – GRIFFIN 2-0 1.76 ERA VS PIT. ASHCRAFT 1-1 2.12 ERA VS. WAS. PITTSBURGH 13-7 LAST 20 AT HOME VS WASHINGTON. 97%CONSENSUS ON PIRATES. MY PICKS WAS +1.5 AND UNDER 8.5.

SF VS. CINCINNATI – Originally thought the Reds would win 2 of 3 games but they have the first two and are the consensus pick to win today. Roupp for the Giants went for 6 scoreless innings in his only game vs. the Reds. Chase Burns went for 2 scoreless innings in spring training in his only game vs. SF. I've been keeping up with the Reds as my team this year so I look to the total here. These two young pitchers are starting for a reason and they may have a bit of a quality start on both sides. Because I already had the Giants figured to win one game in the series my pick here is to slide over to SF +1.5 and UNDER 8.5 81% consensus on Cincinnati money line.

KC VS. DET. Detroit is 15-5 last 20 games vs. KC. However the Royals have won the last game only of the last 3 series played in Detroit. What do you know it is the last game of the series with the Tigers winning the first two. Kris Bubic is 2-1 with a 2.45 era and 50 s.o. in 11 appearances. Montero for the Tigers doesn't have any starts vs. KC but is 1-1 for the year with a 1.15 era. My pick is KC -122. 65% consensus on KC

LAA vs. NYY I'll keep this one short and simple because the Angels +1.5 is my pick Still no starter announced for LAA so off the board.

TOR vs. MIL Patrick Corbin 4-7 4.72 era in 14 appearances vs MIL. Brandon Sprout is 0-1 10.45 era this season in his first start vs. Toronto. While Milwaukee has had the advantage in games played between the two in Milwaukee my pick here is OVER 8.5 – Milwaukee 77 % consensus

Tampa Bay vs. Chicago White Sox – Steven Matz 3-0 3.94 era. Kay had a No Decision in what turned out to be a White Sox win. Tampa won game 1 of the series, but CHW is 6-4 last 10 vs. Tampa Bay. My pick is White Sox +1.5 Tampa Bay 97 % consensus

Texas vs. Oakland – Jack Leiter 2-0 3.72 era vs. Athletics while Jacob Lopez pitched 7 scoreless innings in his only game vs. the Rangers. Last night it was and the series now sits at Oakland 2 games to 1 for Texas. My picks here are UNDER 8.5 and OAK +1.5 Texas 98% consensus

Baltimore vs. Cleveland – Parker Messich went 8.0 scoreless in his only game vs. the O's. Shane Baz gets his first start for Baltimore. Cleveland -120 is my pick. 96% consensus

COL vs. HOU – HOUSTON -1.5

Seattle vs. San Diego Luis Castillo is 3-3 in his career vs SD. Buehler is 1-1 with a 7.08 in 2025 he gave up 8 earned in 3 and a third innings. Both these guys are good pitchers here. 93% on Seattle here.

As always Best of luck and enjoy your Thursday

Miami vs. Ohio State -9 Cotton Bowl – Consensus on Ohio State -9 58% Looking at consensus first we see the biggest number of the playoffs and strength vs strength as the Ohio State defense faces the Miami O-line. Miami did enough vs. Texas A&M but it was an ugly win and for them to have a shot this one is gonna be another game. OSU is 2nd in the country on 3rd down defense and for the year they have the best defensive unit in the nation. The Canes two loses to Louisville and SMU but no one has beaten them by 9 yet. However OSU is 10-2-1 ATS, the Canes are 2-0 as underdogs. Which brings me to the total which is sitting at 42. I think both teams are comfortable with playing a defensive game, I normally would not make a total play but seeing the first CFP game from Miami they are comfortable playing that style of a game as well. I think Miami will have to play a perfect game to even cover here. It'll be close for most of the first half and they may cover on the Canes just down the stretch meaning you can probably pick up Ohio State during the game for a discounted number. However I think this one goes somewhere around 24-14 Buckeyes way. Ohio State -9 and the UNDER.

Oregon-2.5 vs. Texas Tech – I've seen Texas Tech play a few times this year but they weren't playing anyone who is a really good team. Maybe they show me wrong but until then I look at them as beat up on an easy schedule and think the rest of the teams in the CFP still would've gone undefeated with that type of schedule. 68% consensus with me on Oregon -2.5 and OVER 52.5 93% consensus as I feel like Oregon just let up a lot of points to JMU granted it was late but this one here will be back and forth. Oregon and the OVER

Alabama vs. Indiana-7- Consensus 51% on Bama here. I know Indiana is the cinderella of the football world this year and yea they did beat Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game with OSU really cared nothing about. I just don't think the Big Ten is as good as the SEC. Indiana has failed to cover some of their games as well 8-5 ATS, Alabama 2-1 ATS as a dog this year. Thing is I feel like there is zero chance that Alabama is underestimating IU and what has happened the rest of the year may be a feel good story but the momentum from going into OU and coming back from down 17-0 I've got to pick Alabama +7 and if your feeling lucky Alabama +203.

Ole Miss vs. Georgia-6.5 – A rematch from SEC play has the Bulldogs taking 82% consensus against the Rebels. Even though UGA covered in the first meeting it was Ole Miss who was ahead after 3 quarters. I think this may be a very competitive game where Georgia's run attack builds strength as the game goes on. It's hard for me to pick anywhere else because I feel like Georgia is the best team in the playoffs. UGA-6.5 by a score of about 27-20 with Ole Miss trying to drive to tie the game up and Georgia's D having to make the stop the secure the win. Georgia -6.5

As always Best of luck and Enjoy your New Years!
