Twins vs White Sox Free Pick May 11, 2021

*42-30 (58%), +$8,520 ALL FREE PICKS YTD*

I think the value is on the visiting Minnesota Twins in the opener of this three-game series with AL Central rivals Chicago White Sox. 

Twins right-hander Kenta Maeda (2-2, 5.02 ERA) is coming off his best start of the year. Maeda struck out eight through five scoreless innings of two-hit ball on May 3. Maeda owns a 2-0 record with a 3.00 ERA in three career starts against the White Sox. Right-hander Dylan Cease (2-0, 2.37 ERA) will take the ball for Chicago. He is 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA in three career starts against Minnesota. 

Twins are 4-1 in their last 5 during game 1 of a series.

EARLY RANGERS @ GIANTS MLB BOOKIE BOMBER | 3:45 PM ET START

I think we're getting a great price taking the Texas Rangers on the runline at San Francisco Tuesday night. Texas righty Jordan Lyles (1-2, 7.09 ERA) has had a rough start to the year, but his last outing was decent as he fanned seven through five innings of three-run ball at Minnesota. The Giants turn to righty Logan Webb (1-3, 5.34 ERA) who was tagged with six runs in just 3 2/3 innings at Coors Field in his last start. 

The Giants are only 7-6 against the runline as a home favorite. The Rangers are 12-6 against the runline on the road as a dog. 

8* play on Texas Rangers +1.5. 

76ERS @ PACERS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

Tough, tough spot for the Indiana Pacers who will be playing on on rest following a 111-102 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night while the Philadelphia 76ers have been idle since Saturday's 118-104 win over the Detroit Pistons. The Sixers would clinch the Eastern Conference's top seed with a win tonight, granted that the Nets lose to the Bulls. 

The Pacers are shorthanded with  T.J. Warren (left foot stress fracture) and Myles Turner (right toe) definitely out. Additionally, Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), JaKarr Sampson (concussion) and Jeremy Lamb (knee) missed last night's game. The Sixers are not at full strength either, but they're well rested and I think the visitors will run away with this game. 

8* play on Philadelphia 76ers. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Minnesota Timberwolves put a 128-96 beating on Orlando last time out.

The Wolves talented young guns led by Karl-Anthony Towns, D'Angelo Russell and potential rookie of the year Anthony Edwards are showing no interest in tanking. They are 4-1-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite.

The Detroit Pistons have lost six of their last seven games, and covered the spread only twice during that stretch. In their last game, the Pistons took a 108-96 loss to the Bulls. 

10* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. 

SUPER EARLY ORIOLES @ METS BANKROLL BUILDER

Good spot for an under. The NY Mets' righty Matt Harvey (3-2, 3.60 ERA) has allowed two earned runs or fewer five times in seven starts. The Baltimore Orioles' Taijuan Walker (2-1, 2.38 ERA) has been red hot. He has allowed zero earned runs in three of his last four starts, and he fanned eight through seven innings of a 4-1 Mets win at St. Louis in his last start. 

8* play on UNDER. 

EARLY MLB 3-PACK #3

The Cincinnati Reds are 22-10-1 to the over on the season, but I think this game will be low-scoring. Cincinnati right-hander Sonny Gray (0-2, 3.92 ERA) is coming off seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball against the White Sox. Gray has a 2.12 ERA in three day starts on the season. The Pittsburgh Pirates hand the ball to Trevor Cahill (1-4, 6.75 ERA) who has posted a 2.45 ERA in two day starts in 2021. 

If any team is to score runs here it's the Reds. I don't see Pittsburgh putting more than two runs on the board and I predict Cincinnati to win in a very low-scoring affair.

EARLY MLB 3-PACK #1 - CUBS

Cubs' righty Zach Davies (2-2, 6.30 ERA) has allowed only a total of two runs over 11 innings in his last two starts combined, both 3-2 Cubs wins. Cleveland hands the ball to left-hander Sam Hentges (1-0, 5.00 ERA) for his first career start and fifth big-league appearance. The Cubs are not an easy opponent, and they hope to have both Kris Bryant and Javier Baez available Wednesday. Cleveland has the league's second-worst batting average at .210. Good value on the Cubbies. 

8* play on Chicago Cubs.
