Nick Parsons Handicapper Reviews & Picks

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER Rays/Royals.

The Royals have lost three straight, including the first two of this series. All three games have gone UNDER the number.

The Rays have now won three of their last four.

But with two "in form" starters scheduled for Game 2, I think that runs will once again be at a premium in this one.

The visitors hand the ball to Drew Rasmussen (6-5, 2.61 ERA, 0.97 WHIP), while the home side counters with Michael Wacha (4-6, 3.24, 1.19).

With each side leaning heavily on their starter today, everything points to a classic "duel" again here on Wednesday in my opinion.

Consider the UNDER.

Good luck, NP

This is a 4% BOOKIEKILLER on the Twins.

Enough is enough! After five straight losses, I look for the Twins to finally bounce back here with their "ace" on the mound and salvage the finale of this three-game series, after losing all three against the Brewers in their previous one.

George Kirby (1-3, 6.76 ERA) has struggled with consistency for the Mariners all season, while Joe Ryan (7-3, 3.06 ERA), has been a consistent bright spot for the Twins.

Lay the price with confidence, the play is on Ryan and the TWINS.

Good luck, NP

This is a 4% ASSASSIN on the Liberty.

The Liberty are now 10-3 after back-to-back losses. In fact, Breanna Stewart and company have now dropped three of their last four.

A date vs. the 7-6 Golden State Valkyries is just what the doctor ordered though in my opinion.

Golden State has a balanced team, led by Kayla Thorton, hwo averages 15.2 points per game.

These teams played in New York back in late May and the Liberty pulled away for the 82-77 win, unable to cover the massive 14.5-point spread.

Stewart was pretty much unstoppable though, finishing with 27 points, while Sabrina Ionescu added 24 points.

Golden State was led by 18 points from Janelle Salaun in the losing cause.

The Valkyries have been money in the bank for bettors early on, going 9-4 ATS, but with a much more "winnable" game here at home against 3-10 Chicago on Thursday night, I think Golden State is primed for a letdown/look-ahead here.

New York though is hungry to snap the short-term poor play, and I say that this is a great spot to get that done.

I anticipate the "better" team to not only win this game, but to do so in blowout fashion.

Lay the points and take the LIBERTY.

Good luck, NP
