Padres vs Royals MLB Free Pick The Angle(s): This is a matchup tailor-made for runs at Kauffman Stadium, with two shaky starters backed by a suspect Royals bullpen. Kansas City left-hander Noah Cameron (5-7, 4.89 ERA) has had a hard time working deep into games and has allowed five or more runs in three of his last four outings, consistently putting stress on a relief corps that has struggled all year. The Royals’ bullpen ranks near the bottom of the league by most metrics, with an ERA north of 5 and a save percentage in the high-50s, meaning they blow a large share of late-game opportunities and often turn manageable deficits into high-scoring finales. San Diego right-hander Germán Márquez (4-2, 5.18 ERA) has also been far from airtight, allowing 10 homers over 41 2/3 innings this season and giving up multiple long balls in several recent starts. His appearances show a pattern of shaky command and hard contact, with an ERA in the mid-5s, a WHIP north of 1.4, and a July line with 5 earned runs allowed over just 12 innings The Bet: Over (3%). The results don’t lie: 64-46 (58%) 4-5% TOP PLAY HEATER since April 26, 2026! Profits of +$16,350 for $1,000 bettors!

MAGIC MIKE'S Rangers/Braves MLB BOOKIE BU$TER The Angle(s): The Texas Rangers bullpen was called into action early yesterday when the Atlanta Braves plated 15 runs. Bad news for Texas left-hander MacKenzie Gore (5-8, 4.63 ERA) and Texas, as he gave them only four innings in his last start, and a 5.67 ERA over his past five starts is concerning. Gore faced Atlanta twice last year and was 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA. This price is what it is because of Atlanta giving rookie right-hander Owen Murphy (0-1, 2.25 ERA) his first career start, but if they think he's up for the task, then who are we to question it? The Bet: Braves (3%).

Nationals vs Athletics MLB Free Pick July 18, 2026 The Angle(s): We won with the Washington Nationals as a 4% TOP PLAY in last night's 23-4 beatdown of Oakland, who has just one win over its last 15 games. This will mark Washington's first look at Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn (7-6, 3.67 ERA), who enters this contest in the midst of a severe command slump. Ginn was touched up for eight runs on six hits and two walks in his last outing, and he has struggled mightily with his control lately, issuing 13 free passes across his last five starts. With Ginn's underlying metrics signaling vulnerability against disciplined lineups, the edge goes to the visiting Nationals who are 29-18 on the road while Oakland is 19-29 at home. The Bet: Nationals (3%). |

4% MLB RUNLINE RIPPER TOP PLAY The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Chicago White Sox who have won four in a row following a dominant 12-4 victory over the Blue Jays in their first game back from the break. While White Sox right-hander Davis Martin (9-4, 3.41 ERA) surrendered five runs in his last outing, he had assembled a string of solid performances leading up to that game, and, he held the Blue Jays scoreless over six innings in a 3-0 White Sox victory back in April. Toronto counters with right-hander Shane Bieber (0-1, 7.64 ERA), who is still working to regain his rhythm after missing a significant portion of the season due to a right elbow inflammation that kept him sidelined for the first three months. The Bet: White Sox -1½ (4%). |

England/France WCUP 3RD PLACE TOP PLAY - Saturday The Angle(s): While public perception took a hit after France dropped their semifinal clash against a flawless, well-oiled Spain machine, sharp handicappers know better than to overreact to a lone defeat. France didn't necessarily underperform; they simply ran into an elite, hyper-efficient system. Expect a highly motivated French squad to bounce back with authority here. Les Bleus hold a distinct structural and tactical advantage over an England side that enters this fixture carrying its traditional public overvaluation. Perennially overhyped due to the massive media exposure of the domestic Premier League, England lacks the clinical cutting edge and midfield fluidity required to break down France’s deep defensive organization. The Bet: France (4%). |

Mike "Moneymaker" Lundin's experience as a professional poker player has proven to be an immeasurable asset in sports handicapping. He's a numbers guy, with a keen eye for spotting trends and stats that just don't jive with the odds offered by the bookmakers. All Mike's plays come with write ups backing up his selection, giving you a glimpse into his process of breaking down games. ----Bankroll Management---- Mike rates his plays between 100-500* with the 500* bets being the MAX B€T$. Bet each * with 1% of your bankroll. 200* (2%) = Free picks and low-confidence / high-variance plays 300* (3%) = Regular plays 400* (4%) = TOP PLAY$ = Play of the Day and other top play releases 500* (5%) = MAX BET$ = Game of the Week, Month, and Game of the Year releases Just as in cash game poker, the goal is not to win that giant pot once in a while, but to build your bankroll slowly and steadily by identifying +EV situations to exploit. ----Handicapping Methodology---- As a former online poker pro, Mike knows the value of creating systems and winning formulas through statistical analysis and math to use as a baseline, but much like poker, sports are played by human beings with emotions and feelings. Identifying letdown spots, bounce-back spots and situational betting in general plays a big part in Mike's success in picking winners, but he's also not a stranger to locking in a bet based on stats and trends alone. |
