MLB

ProSportsPicks
Game: Red Sox vs Yankees (Oct 02, 8:08 PM)
Pick: Red Sox +1½ (-153) at Heritage

Analysis:
Professional Sports Picks delivers another data-driven release, emphasizing predictive modeling and advanced analytics over gut instinct. Their metrics isolate positive expected value situations, with the numbers pointing toward Boston’s run line. The Red Sox have covered in 7 of the last 10 meetings with New York and come into this matchup 8-2 ATS in their last 10 overall. With favorable matchup data and momentum, the value lies with Boston plus the runs.

Bobby Conn
Game: Padres vs Cubs (Oct 02, 5:08 PM)
Pick: Cubs -110 at Circa

Analysis:
Conn releases a free play backing Chicago at home. The Cubs hold the stronger bullpen edge in this matchup and have been producing timely offense down the stretch. San Diego’s lineup has been inconsistent, and Chicago has favorable situational trends in their corner. Take the Cubs at near even money.

Jeff Alexander
Game: Red Sox vs Yankees (Oct 02, 8:08 PM)
Pick: Red Sox +150 at Ace

Analysis:
Alexander is siding with Boston as a live underdog. With recent success in the series and pitching matchups favoring the Red Sox, the plus money value is too strong to ignore.

Ricky Tran
Game: Tigers vs Guardians (Oct 02, 3:08 PM)
Pick: Guardians -110 at Circa

Analysis:
Tran highlights Cleveland’s recent edge in this series and pitching stability. The Guardians are 6-4 over their last 10 games, while Detroit is just 3-7 in that span. With Tigers starter Jack Flaherty struggling (1-4 in his last 5 starts), the edge belongs to Cleveland as the short favorite.

Brandon Lee
Game: Padres vs Cubs (Oct 02, 5:08 PM)
Pick: Cubs -108 at Circa

Analysis:
Lee echoes value on Chicago, noting their stronger situational spot and ability to generate runs at Wrigley. His confidence aligns with other handicappers backing the Cubs as the sharper side.

Game: 49ers vs Rams (Oct 02, 8:15 PM)
Pick: Rams -8½ (-105) at PlayMGM

Game: 49ers vs Rams (Oct 02, 8:15 PM)
Pick: 49ers +5½ (-105) at Bovada

Analysis:

NCAA Football

Doc’s Sports
Game: Nevada vs Fresno State (Oct 04, 10:30 PM)
Pick: Nevada +14 (-108) at Heritage

Analysis:
Doc’s Sports expects Nevada to stay competitive for four quarters. Despite their 1-3 record, the Wolf Pack have been able to run effectively and come in rested off a bye. Fresno State is 4-1 but has shown vulnerabilities against FBS competition. With motivation high in this Mountain West matchup, Doc’s leans to Nevada covering the two-touchdown spread.

Sean Murphy
Game: Colorado State vs San Diego State (Oct 03, 10:30 PM)
Pick: Colorado State +6 (-110) at BookMaker

Analysis:
Murphy notes that Colorado State is in a strong bounce-back spot after a poor showing against Washington State. San Diego State’s offense remains limited, and laying more than a field goal is risky. With Colorado State’s balance and ability to hang on the road, this one projects as a tight contest. Taking the points is the sharp move.

Jack Jones
Game: Western Kentucky vs Delaware (Oct 03, 7:00 PM)
Pick: OVER 61 (-106)

Analysis:
Jones calls for a shootout between two up-tempo, offense-heavy teams. Western Kentucky is averaging 35 points per game and plays with one of the fastest paces in the country. Delaware isn’t far behind with 31 points per game and a balanced attack. Both defenses have shown cracks, and past results indicate high-scoring potential. All signs point to an OVER cash in this matchup.

Oliver Smith
Game: Sam Houston vs New Mexico State (Oct 02, 9:00 PM)
Pick: Sam Houston -130 at Heritage

Analysis:
Smith releases a 3* play on Sam Houston, noting superior execution and recent form. He projects the Bearkats to control the game and secure the win as short road favorites.

WNBA

Rob Vinciletti
Game: Mercury vs Aces (Oct 03, 8:00 PM)
Pick: OVER 160 (-108)

Analysis:
Vinciletti looks for Game 1 of the Finals to go over the total. Historical system trends support higher scoring in this situation, especially with Phoenix and Las Vegas typically playing close, high-scoring games. With the number posted lower than the average total in this series, he sees value on the OVER.

Soccer

Juan Carlos Flores
Game: Rangers vs Sturm Graz (Oct 02, 3:00 PM)
Pick: Sturm Graz +112 at Heritage

Analysis:
Flores targets value on the Austrian side. Sturm Graz’s current form and recent consistency against stronger competition make them an attractive plus-money play against Rangers.
