Stay Hydrated, Stay Locked In
Friendly reminder: Drink your water this Memorial Day Weekend! I learned the hard way on the Muni Thursday afternoon—dehydration took me out for a couple of days. But I’m back, and we’ve got a full day of national TV sports ahead. After the morning races, settle in for three exciting matchups that line up perfectly with today’s contests.
📺 Today's TV Games
- San Diego Padres @ Atlanta Braves – MLB Network
- Los Angeles Dodgers @ New York Mets – ESPN
- New York Knicks @ Indiana Pacers – TNT/Max
🎯 Tonight's Pick 10 (4:10pm ET/1:10pm PT)
⚾ San Diego @ Atlanta
The Padres are in a slump, having lost 7 of their last 8, but send their strikeout king to the mound today in hopes of turning it around. The bullpen has been the main culprit lately, but a dominant starter gives them a real shot. Meanwhile, Ronald Acuña Jr. is back and already making noise—2 home runs in 2 games. His return adds immediate pressure on opposing pitchers, especially with Atlanta’s deep lineup capable of big innings.
- Manny Machado – Over/Under 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs
- Jake Cronenworth – Over/Under 0.5 strikeouts
- Brandon Lockridge – Over/Under 0.5 hit
- Austin Riley – Over/Under 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs
- Marcell Ozuna – Over/Under 0.5 walks
- Nick Allen – Over/Under 0.5 hits
⚾ LA Dodgers @ NY Mets
The Mets have hit a rough patch—losing 4 of their last 6—and Juan Soto‘s early season struggles have been under the microscope. But he delivered last night, with a 2-run double to break the tie. Today, Kodai Senga gets the start. He has solid ERA and WHIP numbers but a concerning strikeout-to-walk ratio. On the Dodgers’ side, 2nd year starter Landon Knack brings a high 6.17 ERA into the matchup, which could be exploitable for the Mets. He will need to be aggressive with the strikeouts in order to keep the Mets on their heels.
- Freddie Freeman – Over/Under 0.5 walks
- Mookie Betts – Over/Under 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs
- Kodai Senga – Over/Under 5.5 strikeouts
- Brett Baty – Over/Under 0.5 hits
🏆 Pick 5 Margin (8pm ET/5pm PT)
🏀 New York @ Indiana
The Knicks dropped a must-win Game 2 at Madison Square Garden, and now Game 3 becomes a must-must-win—this time on the road. They’ll need to hope Indiana slips, as they did in Game 3 against Cleveland, but the Pacers’ depth and full-court pressure have been major advantages through the first two games. Rumors are swirling about lineup changes for New York, but they need to focus on keeping legs fresh for a potential fourth-quarter push. Can Jalen Brunson find enough gas for one more late-game takeover?
