My free winner for Sunday is the Atlanta Braves over the San Diego Padres.

My Bonus Play for Easter Sunday is the streaking Atlanta Braves over the San Diego Padres.

The Braves opened the season mired in a 1-6 skid, but have turned things around a bit and ride into this series finale on a three-game win streak. Now they catch a struggling Padres team that opened the season winning five of nine, but have lost three in a row.

I won't list the pitchers in this one, as I'm basing this strictly off momentum, location and the situation we have.

Atlanta is headed in the right direction, the Padres are struggling, it's Easter Sunday afternoon at the new SunTrust Park and the Braves won't let the fans down.

Take Atlanta straight here.

Tonight I'm playing the Royals again, over the Angels, who finish up in Kansas City for the weekend.

I'm not listing pitchers in this game because the Royals' staff is doing fine no matter who goes for them. The struggling Angels, who have lost four in a row, are strapped with facing a Royals' rotation that owns an American League best 2.59 ERA after 11 games.

Just over the past three nights we've seen Kansas City's Nathan Karns, Jason Vargas and Danny Duffy have allowed two runs and 11 hits over 20.2 innings.

Sunday afternoons at Kauffman Stadium is always rocking ever since Kansas City rose to supremacy the past few years, and today will be no different. I was there three seasons back when the Royals dominated the Angels in the division series, and watched the clinching game.

Kansas City will once again tarnish the Halos, and if indeed the boys from Anaheim hand the ball to Tyler Skaggs, it'll be even sweeter. Again, I don't care who goes for either team, but make note that Skaggs has struggled over his first two outings of the season, with an 8.71 ERA.

Take K.C. here, as it's an easy freebie.

3* ROYALS

Paging the Toronto Blue Jays offense...Is there anybody out there?!?!?!

Toronto finally won a home game on Saturday, but they did so with just 2 measly runs scored.

The Jays have now been held to 2 runs or less in 5 of their last 7 games this season, and the Under has been money in 8 of their 11 overall games this April.

The Under when the Blue Jays face the Orioles now stands at 4-2 through the first 6 go 'rounds in 2017, and I see no reason to go against that trend today as Dylan Bundy and JA Happ meet for the second time this season - the first resulting in a 3-1 Under in favor of the O's at Camden Yards.

With 12 of the last 13 series meetings between the teams landing Under the posted price, no sense in going against this 93% stat on Sunday afternoon.

Orioles-Blue Jays Under the total.

5* BALTIMORE-TORONTO UNDER

Wednesday night I took the New York Yankees because of a Major League pitching debut, and it worked out well. Thursday and Friday night I take the New York Yankees because they're on a roll and playing well, and hit a pair of 80 Dimers. Then yesterday I was on the pinstripes as my freebie.

Today my free winner is back on the Bronx Bombers, as I'm riding the Yankees once again. This is baseball ladies and gentlemen - and we roll with streaks.

The Yankees have won six straight games and will surely be able to keep things going against the St. Louis Cardinals, who are making their first-ever trip to the new Yankee Stadium. And now the Redbirds have to deal with the Yanks on national television tonight.

The Yankees have seemingly turned things around since losing four of their first five games, while the Cardinals have now lost eight of 10 since winning their season-opener. St. Louis is playing its sixth road game in seven nights, after opening its road trip with a three-game set in Washington D.C., against the Nationals.

St. Louis' pitching won't be able to slow New York's offense, which has scored 33 runs since the fifth inning on Sunday, when the Yankees were in Baltimore. The Yankees' bats have benefited from poor pitching, and a slew of home runs by their young lineup.

Take New York for this 8:05 p.m. first pitch, as it continues to roll, and St. Louis continues to struggle.

4* YANKEES

Chicago vs. Boston
Play: Boston -6

Boston looks so sharp with their outstanding ball movement - pounding the ball inside, and moving it around the perimeter - Isaiah Thomas has been smooth and has his shot in rhythm - hitting the best he ever has in his career this season. Boston got a scare when they ran into a rough stretch towards the end of March, into early April, but they got back on track with their last couple games with steady Ws - and the Celts are going to do everything needed as the #1 seed in the East for the NBA playoffs.

Chicago has had problems with getting good looks outside, they get stuck dribbling too much and don't move the ball like their opponent does. They have also had some poor rebounding as of late as well. Chicago can't give too many easy buckets in transition, of course, Chicago will be cautious on the road, in Boston this is never easy.

1 Unit Bonus Play on Washington Wizards -5

John Wall suffered a wrist injury in the playoffs two years back that really changed the series against the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks went on to win that playoff series, and Wall and company want to exact some revenge here. It starts with Game 1 today. The Wizards won each of their final three meetings with the Hawks this season by a combined 33 points, or by an average of 11 points per game. Washington went 30-11 at home during the regular season. Atlanta actually has the worst point differential of all the playoff teams this year, getting outscored by 0.8 points per game on the year. This team is a fraud. Atlanta is 17-37 ATS in its last 54 playoff road games. The Wizards are 6-0 ATS in their last six Conference Quarterfinals games.

Play on: UNDER 9½ -110

White Sox/Twins Under 9

This play just missed out on our premium card. The Chicago White Sox and the Minnesota Twins play the rubber match of their three game series on Sunday afternoon, and with the over/under at 9 there is a lot of value. The Twins and White Sox have both had problems scoring runs all season. In Saturday's game the Twins shut out the White Sox 5-0.

On the mound Sunday is Hector Santiago and James Shield. Early in the season both pitchers have ERA's under 2.4. I think this will be another pitchers duel with not many runs scored. Some trends to note. Under is 6-1 in Santiagos last 7 starts overall. Under is 6-1 in White Sox last 7 vs. American League Central. Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

This is just too many runs. for two teams having problems scoring.

Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

10* Free MLB Pick (Blue Jays -103)

Toronto snapped a 7-game losing streak and finally have some momentum to build on, as they try to salvage a split in their 4-game series against division rival Baltimore. I like the price here with the Blue Jays at home. Toronto will send out J.A. Happ, who I think is flying a bit under the radar right now. Happ has served up 4 homers (2 in each start) and has a 5.40 ERA. What stands out to me is the fact that he has 17 strikeouts and 0 walks in 11 2/3 innings. Note that his first start came at Baltimore, where he allowed just 3 runs on 5 hits in 7 innings. Orioles will give the ball to Dylan Bundy, who is 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 2 starts. Bundy was excellent at home, but really struggled on the road and that was the case with him last year. It's only a matter of time before Toronto's offense shows up. Give me the Blue Jays -103!

Play on: Diamondbacks +185 at GTBets

Jack's Free Pick Sunday: Arizona Diamondbacks +185

I'm going to take a shot with the Arizona Diamondbacks today as huge road underdogs to the Los Angeles Dodgers. They'll be highly motivated for a win to avoid the sweep after losing the first two games of this series to Kershaw and Maeda.

I don't believe the Dodgers have an edge at all on the mound today. Rich Hill has not fared well against the Diamondbacks, going 1-3 with a 5.01 ERA in six career starts against them. His teams are 1-5 in those six starts.

Taijaun Walker is one of the best young talents in baseball. That talent allowed the Diamondbacks to trade Jean Segura for him after Segura had over 200 hits last year. Walker has posted a 4.91 ERA in two starts this season, both of which came against the Giants.

The Diamondbacks are a very profitable 19-10 (+14.8 Units) against the money line in road games after having lost 4 of their last 5 games over the last three seasons. Arizona is 6-2 in its last eight games following a loss. Bet the Diamondbacks Sunday.

Play on: Indians -1½ -110 at BMaker

Free Pick on Indians -1.5

I'm not about to lay -200 or more on any team this early in the season, but I will pick my spots backing these teams on the run line. I like the value a lot here with Cleveland at home against the Tigers on Sunday. The Indians will send out Carlos Carrasco, who has been better than expected after last year's injury that cost him a chance to pitch in the postseason. He's allowed just 3 runs on 8 hits with 14 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings of work.

Detroit will counter with Matt Boyd, who is coming off a strong start at home against the Twins, where he allowed just 1 hit over 6 shutout innings. The thing is, Boyd was hit hard in that game and I just don't think he's going to have a lot of outing like that. Keep in mind he lasted just 2 1/3 innings in his first start, giving up 5 runs on 5 hits and 4 walks. Cleveland's offense is coring 5.2 runs/game at home and have scored 23 runs in their last 3 games. The Indians should be able to put up a decent number here and have no problem winning by 2 or more runs. Take Cleveland -1.5!

Lay the short number here with the Wizards today. The Hawks are getting way to much respect for beating the Cavs twice at the end of the regular season. The Wizards kind of coasted in down the stretch, but that was to be expected as they wanted to rest some guys to get ready. Wall and Beal will be simply to much for the Hawks guards

Blazers / Warriors Over 220

These teams did not combine for under 224 points in their four meetings this season and we don't think much will change in Sunday's Game One. Before slowing down a bit in the last two reg.-season games, the Warriors went on a stretch of five overs in six games, which followed up a long "under" skein minus Kevin Durant. K-D is back, however, and the scoring should be up in this series.

Cardinals at Yankees
Play: Yankees

RHP Adam Wainwright used to be one of the best pitchers in baseball, coming back from two different season-ending injuries (Tommy John surgery and a torn Achilles). But it seems like finally father time may be catching up to the now-35-year-old, as Wainwright is coming off of his highest ERA season since he came into the league and has looked far too easy to hit in his first two starts of 2017. Wainwright is 0-2 with a 7.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in just nine innings, and if he doesn't do something to turn it around, his days as a starter for a team that figures to be in the playoff hunt could be over. Of course, he's faced two of the NL's best in his first two outings, and although the Yankees may not be on a par with the Cubs and Nationals, it will not be easy for Wainwright once again tonight in the Bronx. And he's going opposite a RH starter who has had some of the most dominating stuff of the season so far in Michael Pineda. In two starts, Pineda has pitched 11 2/3 innings with 17 strikeouts and no walks. His ERA is a bit high due to a sub-par first outing, but Pineda put it all together in his last start, shutting down the Rays over 7 2/3, two-hit innings.
