Handicapper Big Al McMordie Free Sports Picks

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Connecticut Sun + the points over the Toronto Tempo.  The Sun are off to a 2-11 start this season, and have dropped their last three games.  Meanwhile, Toronto is 6-5 and off a 17-point blowout win over Chicago on Sunday.  We'll fade the Tempo at home tonight, as home favorites off a SU/ATS win are a poor 45-88 ATS vs. rested, sub-.222 foes off a SU loss.  Grab the points with the Sun.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Guardians over the New York Yankees.  Parker Messick may not win AL Rookie of the Year for 2026 (there are a host of other talented first year players currently ahead of Messick) but you can't deny what the 25-year-old has done so far.  The second-year MLB righthander hasn't missed a start and Messick has logged a 6-2 record with a 2.40 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 78 strikeouts in 75 innings with 58 hits allowed.  Those are All Star-caliber numbers and so it will be interesting to see if Messick gets a nod to the mid-summer classic in about a month.  It certainly doesn't hurt his chances that he's starting this game at home where Messick is undefeated this season (3-0) with a 2.41 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in seven starts covering 41 innings.  The Guardians are 9-4 in Messick's 13 starts this season.  Take Cleveland.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the UNDER in the San Antonio Spurs/New York Knicks game.  These two teams have played six halves of basketball, and five out of those six halves went for 108 points or less.  The only half where the two teams combined for more than 108 was the first half of Game 3, where 121 points were scored.  Otherwise, the other five halves saw 103, 97, 108, 101, and 105 points scored.  Two of the first three games in this series have gone UNDER the total.  And we'll look for another low-scoring game on Wednesday, as the Knicks are 41-22 UNDER when they lead in a Playoff series.  Take Game 4 UNDER the total.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
