I am laying the points here with Michigan State against Ole Miss. Since their home loss to Indiana back on Feb 11th, Sparty has taken the game by storm going 10-1 ATS down the stretch to where we are now. Ole Miss has played great games but they have not played a team as physical as this one. MSU has a phenomenal defense ranking 4th in efficiency and will not give Ole Miss any free looks. The Spartans offense is averaging 77 PPG their L5 and 80 in Non-Conf play this season. Favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points out rebounding teams by 6+ rebounds per game against a poor rebounding team being out rebounded by 3-6 rebounds per game are 68-34 ATS dating back to 2020. Lay it with Michigan State here. -Joey Tron

I am taking the Red Sox again against the Rangers. They have a strong line up as they tallied 7 hits and had 12 total bases on Opening Day. Tanner Houck had decent numbers for the Sox on the road last year posting a 2.89 ERA and he has strong numbers against this Rangers lineup. Texas is starting Jack Leiter who has little Major League experience, and that he does - it’s not good. He holds 10.80 ERA in his own ballpark and will be facing everyone on this lineup for this first time. The Red Sox are 5-2 against the Rangers their L7 and 34-23 against RHP. Take the Red Sox ML here. -Joey Tron

I am taking the Orioles here against the Jays Friday night. The Orioles offense exploded for 12 runs on Opening Day and I do not see them pumping the breaks in a divisional match up. Kevin Gausman is on the hill who has seen better days than when pitching against Baltimore. He is 1-3 with a 4.13 ERA in all starts against the Os since 2023 and has allowed 5 HRs in those starts. Charlie Morton has decent splits against this lineup and will build on his several strong Spring Training starts and went 4-2 against the American League last season on the Braves. Orioles are 17-9 in road division games since last season and Blue Jays are 11-15 at home agains division opponents. Take the Orioles ML here. -Joey Tron
