Red Sox vs. Blue Jays picks and predictions Sept. 24: Bet on a big performance from Jarren Duran

The Boston Red Sox can earn a big series win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday.

The pregame narrative: Toronto is in desperate need of a victory, only sitting one game clear of the New York Yankees in the AL East. The Jays will look for a big performance behind Max Scherzer, who counters Cy Young contender Garrett Crochet.

Check out my Blue Jays picks vs. the Red Sox for the Sept. 24 game at Rogers Centre, featuring prop predictions involving Crochet and Jarren Duran.

Blue Jays picks vs. Red Sox

Best bet: Over 7.5 runs (-104)

There’s been some serious concern lately with Scherzer on the mound.

He’s been shelled constantly, allowing 21 earned runs over his last five starts.

That was over 20.0 innings, and his last start was disastrous (seven ER, 0.2 IP).

Four of those five games went over this total with an average of 12.6 runs scored.

Even if the Jays’ offensive slump continues, I don’t trust Scherzer or the bullpen to keep this game within control.

Corchet also isn’t pitching his best right now. Over his last four starts, he holds a 4.68 ERA (4.99 FIP).

There’s potential for an unexpectedly high-scoring game here, so I’ll buy in on the low total.

Key stat: Seven of Crochet’s last nine starts have gone over 7.5 runs.

Jays prop predictions

Duran over 1.5 total bases (+104): With Scherzer on the mound, I want to take advantage of a hitter on the Red Sox side, and Duran caught my eye.

At plus-money, he provides value in this matchup.

He’s just 1-for-3 off Scherzer, but the one hit was a home run.

Duran went hitless on Tuesday but had at least a knock in eight of the nine games before.

I believe he has one of the highest offensive floors on the Red Sox on any night, thanks to his raw power and elite speed.

And this is a strong spot for production with Scherzer starting. Duran is hitting leadoff for Boston and should be in line for five or more at-bats.

Crochet under 6.5 Ks (-137): Even if Crochet has a strong outing, this is a tough number to get past against the Jays.

Toronto strikes out the second-fewest times per game (6.75).

Crochet has finished under this total in both his starts against the Blue Jays this season.

That’s in 12.2 innings pitched over two very solid performances.

This isn’t a fade on Crochet by any means and is solely to do with the matchup at hand.

Toronto has held 19 straight starting pitchers under this number.

Best MLB prop bets Sept. 20: Back Bryce Harper, Framber Valdez, Taylor Ward

Two sluggers and one starting pitcher contribute to Saturday’s MLB prop bets.

Today’s MLB props narrative: Bryce Harper is my main target at plus-money because of his matchup. Elsewhere, Taylor Ward has a good shot at mashing for the Los Angeles Angels at Coors Field.

Check out my top MLB prop bets for Sept. 20, featuring predictions on Harper, Ward and Framber Valdez.

MLB prop bets

Best bet: Harper over 1.5 total bases (+105)

Harper may not be playing at an MVP level this season, but his stats are still top-tier.

He has an 85th-percentile xBA (.282) and 91st-percentile xSLG (.522), per Baseball Savant.

Plus, he’s raking over his last 10 games with a .324 batting average and 1.136 OPS.

That all goes before mentioning his stats against Arizona Diamondbacks’ starter Zac Gallen.

Harper is 10-for-20 off Gallen with two home runs in his career.

The righty is having a down year with a 4.73 ERA and 1.25 WHIP, and I expect the all-star slugger to do damage.

Key stat: Harper is 7-3 against this line in his past 10 games.

Best MLB picks

Valdez over 17.5 outs (-108): In terms of stats, Valdez has been struggling over recent starts.

His last 10 games have not been pretty, but it hasn’t hindered his ability to work deep into ball games.

Valdez is 2-8 over those starts with a 5.31 ERA.

Despite that, he’s 6-4 against this line.

The bright side is that his FIP of 3.79 during that time is much lower than his actual ERA. That stat measures a pitcher’s effectiveness at limiting base runners and getting Ks, independent of field conditions.

Valdez has thrown 85 or more pitches in 27 of his 29 starts this season.

Ward over 1.5 total bases (-130): Ward is an all-or-nothing hitter, but that’s something to take advantage of at Coors Field.

He pairs his high strikeout rate with an 84th-percentile barrel rate.

His .462 SLG is well above the MLB average. He also leads the Angels with 261 total bases this year.

Ward certainly has pop, and he can take advantage of the Rockies’ starting German Marquez.

Marquez has the third-worst ERA in the majors among pitchers with over 100 innings pitched (6.73).

He gives up 1.49 HR/9 and continuously gets rocked when playing on the road or in Colorado.

But his .937 OPS allowed at Coors Field is definitely something I want to take advantage of.

Chiefs vs. Giants SNF Week 3 SGP predictions: Back Kelce and Robinson in +390 wager

The Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants are desperate for a win on Sunday Night Football.

The pregame narrative: Both teams are 0-2, needing a victory to gain some early-season momentum. It’s safe to say the Super Bowl finalist Chiefs have more on the line, as a 0-3 start is hard to come back from in the NFL.

Check out my Chiefs vs. Giants same-game parlay predictions for Week 3 below, featuring Travis Kelce and Wan’Dale Robinson.

Chiefs vs. Giants SGP predictions

SGP: Chiefs ML | Kelce over 42.5 receiving yards | Robinson over 43.5 receiving yards (+390)

Chiefs ML (-286): I don’t trust the Chiefs’ offence right now, but I believe they have enough to scrape out a win against the Giants on the road.

Kansas City has had a tough start. The side has had to play the Los Angeles Chargers and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Losing those games by a total of nine points doesn’t significantly affect the Chiefs’ stock, but a loss to the Giants would be different.

And I just can’t see Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs starting 0-3.

This is the team that went 15-2 last season and is 65-18 since the start of 2020 in games that Mahomes started.

The Giants are 0-2, and they got blown out by the Washington Commanders in Week 1.

Embed: #118183

Sunday Night Football SGP picks

Kelce over 42.5 receiving yards (-113): The tight end has lost a step, but with all the injuries on Kansas City’s offence, he’s still the biggest downfield threat.

In Week 1, he had two receptions for 47 yards, and his longest reception was 37 yards.

In Week 2, he had four catches for 61 yards, and his longest reception was 23 yards.

Kelce isn’t just running underneath routes. He’s still the big-play guy he’s always been.

He’s not going to be targeted 10-plus times a game anymore, but he’s still playing over 75% of the snaps, and he should get enough attention from Mahomes to clear this modest line.

Robinson over 43.5 receiving yards (-113): The Giants are finally letting Robinson loose, and the results have been amazing.

Wan'Dale Robinson turned 140 targets into 699 yards last season.

Yesterday, they let him run routes further than 2 yards downfield…

It was just his 4th game of 10.0+ yards per reception since the start of 2024 🤯 pic.twitter.com/JUoLTBZrNq
— Underdog (@Underdog) September 15, 2025

This wasn’t a fluke performance, and 10 targets are nothing out of the ordinary for Robinson.

Last season, the wide receiver was targeted 140 times (8.2 per game).

That is WR1 volume, but he only cashed this wager eight times because of his 5.0 yards per target.

This season, he’s surpassed that number in both games so far and has a 10.9 yards per target.

Brian Daboll expanded Robinson’s route tree, and he had a career game. Why would he put the training wheels back on now?

Blue Jays vs. Royals picks and predictions Sept. 20: Look for Toronto to bounce back behind Shane Bieber

The Toronto Blue Jays look to avoid another series loss against the Kansas City Royals.

The pregame narrative: After last night’s 20-1 blowout loss, Shane Bieber is tasked with leading a bounce-back effort for Toronto. The Royals counter with rookie left-handed pitcher Noah Cameron.

Check out my Blue Jays picks vs. the Royals for the Sept. 20 game at Kauffman Stadium, featuring prop predictions on Bieber and George Springer.

Blue Jays picks vs. Royals

Best bet: Blue Jays F5 +0.5 (-143)

Things have been rocky for the Jays, but there’s a nice opportunity to rebound with Bieber on the mound.

He shoved in his last start, giving up four hits and one run while striking out five over six innings.

The Jays provide good run support for Bieber. This wager is 4-1 in his five starts with Toronto.

Cameron starts for the Royals, and his base ERA (2.98) is very good, but his advanced stats show some good ball luck.

58th-percentile xERA (3.98)
52nd-percentile xBA (.247)

Plus, his 4.71 ERA over his last five starts indicates some regression down the stretch.

Toronto is in a tiny slump right now offensively, but the AL East leaders are very capable of a bounce-back performance.

Key stat: Since the all-star break, the Blue Jays have the second-best batting average (.280), slugging (.465) and WRC+ (125) in MLB.

Embed: #118185

Jays prop predictions

Springer over 1.5 total bases (-110): To start Friday’s chaotic game, Springer hit a leadoff homerun.

And despite the recent lack of offence, Springer’s been consistently one of the best hitters in baseball.

In the second half, the slugger leads MLB with a whopping 204 WRC+.

During that time, he’s cleared this line 23 times.

In those 41 games, Springer has only gone hitless nine times. He has a sky-high floor on offence right now, and I want to back a prop completely in his control.

Bieber over 17.5 outs (-148): If you can stomach the price, I think there’s strong value on this prop.

Bieber’s pitched into the sixth inning in all five starts this season and is 3-2 against this line.

This line indicates an average performance, but I think he can shine against the Royals.

They did score 20 runs yesterday, but seven were attributed to a poor start from Max Scherzer and Tyler Heineman, a catcher, allowed 10 runs in relief.

I want to focus on the matchup, and Bieber has dominated the Royals in his career. Their offence is a combined 17-for-76 (.223) against the righty.

The Blue Jays have needed a lot from their bullpen in recent weeks, so John Schneider should give Bieber a long leash for tonight’s contest.

Best EPL Week 5 prop picks: Bet on Xavi Simons to contribue for Tottenham

Tottenham’s newest transfer headlines this weekend’s EPL prop bets.

The pregame narrative: Xavi Simons wasted no time getting going for his new club as he recorded an assist in his Premier League debut. He should be able to keep his momentum going in his second start against Brighton on Saturday.

Check out my favourite EPL prop picks for Week 5 of the Premier League season, featuring Jean-Philippe Mateta.

EPL prop picks

Best bet: Simons to record an assist (+190)

The 22-year-old was expected to step into a midfield role with Tottenham, but Thomas Frank had other plans. He decided to utilize Simons as a winger in his first two starts across the EPL and UCL.

Playing out wide should certainly increase his offensive output, which is what I’m looking for with this market.

He’s gradually received more playing time from one start to the next and should be in line for 80-plus minutes on Saturday.

In those two starts, he recorded three shots. None of which were on target, but the volume is solid. He’s still 1-1 on this wager for Tottenham, though, thanks to grabbing an assist in his debut off a corner kick.

Brighton is a bottom-half defensive team, allowing the ninth-most xG through four matches (5.6).

The Hotspur are tied for fourth in the EPL with eight goals. The side should be able to add to that total this weekend.

Even when he was deployed as a midfielder for RB Salzburg in the Bundesliga, he was one of the more attacking-minded midfielders in world soccer.

Key stat: According to fbref.com, Simons ranks in the 99th percentile among midfielders for non-penalty goals per 90 (0.37) and in the 95th percentile for assists per 90 (0.26).

EPL Matchday 5 predictions

Mateta to score (+140): No team has conceded more goals than West Ham’s 11. That provides Mateta with a nice opportunity to score on Saturday.

The French forward has played all but nine minutes for Crystal Palace in the EPL.

He has three goals in seven matches across all competitions, but only one so far in the Premier League.

Mateta finished tied for 10th in the EPL for goals last year with 14, so an uptick should be expected.

On top of all that, there’s seriously no better matchup for a striker.

Not only has West Ham allowed the most goals, but the club also concedes the most shots on target per match (5.0).

Chiefs vs. Giants Week 3 Sunday Night Football picks: Expect Patrick Mahomes to shine

The Kansas City Chiefs are still looking for their first win ahead of Sunday night’s Week 3 clash vs. the New York Giants.

The pregame narrative: New York is also winless, but was a part of an early contender for game of the year last week vs. the Dallas Cowboys. Kansas City has played tough opponents and can’t afford a loss in Week 3.

Check out my Chiefs vs. Giants picks for the Sunday Night Football matchup on Sept. 21, featuring Patrick Mahomes and Cam Skattebo.

Chiefs vs. Giants picks

Best bet: Mahomes over 34.5 pass attempts (-130)

Mahomes smashed this line in Week 1, throwing 39 passes in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Last Sunday provided a tougher matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, and Mahomes understandably fell four attempts shy of this mark.

But the Giants are a good team to bounce back against.

In last week’s thriller with the Cowboys, Dak Prescott attempted 52 passes and cashed this wager well before overtime started.

Last season, Mahomes went 11-5 against this line and finished with 33 attempts in another game.

Another reason to like this wager is that the Chiefs can’t get anything going in the run game. Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt have combined for 3.4 yards per carry on 28 rushes this season.

For context, Mahomes has more rushing yards so far than both running backs combined.

That should force the star quarterback into more passing situations.

Key stat: Since the start of the 2021 season, Mahomes is averaging 37.5 pass attempts per game.

Sunday Night Football prop pick

Skattebo over 34.5 rushing yards (-118): The Giants’ rookie back should continue getting more opportunities as the weeks go on.

Skattebo was rumbling last week with 45 yards on 11 carries. The really impressive part is that he averaged 3.18 yards after contact.

Cam Skattebo is going to be legit in the NFL. Insane pic.twitter.com/Gq09wjUETy
— 🌵 Mr. Az (@MrAzSports) September 14, 2025

Any coach will love a hard runner, and the takeover has officially begun.

In Week 1, Skattebo played 12% of the Giants’ snaps and had just two rushing attempts.

In Week 2, he led New York’s backfield with a 52% snap share.

After the way he performed last Sunday, there’s no way Brian Daboll can do anything but give his rookie more touches.

The Chiefs have allowed running backs on both the Chargers and Eagles to top this line, and my money’s on Skattebo doing so for the Giants.

Broncos vs. Chargers Week 3 SGP predictions: Bet on Bo Nix, Troy Franklin at +425

The Denver Broncos visit the Los Angeles Chargers for a pivotal early-season AFC West matchup.

The pregame narrative: The Chargers have jumped out to a 2-0 start, which is good enough for the top spot in the division. Denver can even things up atop the AFC West with a win on the road Sunday afternoon.

Check out my Broncos vs. Chargers +425 same-game parlay predictions for Week 3, featuring Bo Nix and Troy Franklin.

Broncos vs. Chargers SGP predictions

SGP: Chargers ML | Nix over 19.5 rushing yards | Franklin 30+ receiving yards (+425)

Chargers ML (-148): This has the makings of a close game on paper, but I give the Chargers the edge.

L.A. has looked really good through two weeks. First, it beat the Kansas City Chiefs by six in Brazil and then stifled the Las Vegas Raiders 20-9 on Monday Night Football.

The defence has allowed two touchdowns while forcing three turnovers.

The offence has been cooking, too. Justin Herbert has thrown five TD passes, no interceptions and has the second-best passer rating in the NFL (127.8).

On the other side, the Broncos have a strong defence, but they’re coming off a game in which they allowed 473 yards to the Indianapolis Colts.

Behind Bo Nix, the offence also feels a step behind. The second-year quarterback has thrown four TDs, three INTs and has an inferior passer rating of 82.0.

In my opinion, the Chargers are the better team right now on both sides of the ball and hold home-field advantage in this contest.

Embed: #118099

NFL SGP picks

Nix over 19.5 rushing yards (-114): Nix isn’t known for his speed, but he’s an efficient runner out of the backfield.

The QB ran for 20 yards on three attempts in Week 1 and 18 yards on eight attempts in Week 2.

As a rookie, he ran for 430 yards and cleared this mark in 10 of 17 games.

The Chargers’ defence only blitzes 12.6% of the time. That means Nix should have time in the pocket and can set up some big runs if his receivers are covered.

Patrick Mahomes ran for 57 yards on six rushes against L.A. in Week 1, then Geno Smith cleared this line in Week 2, rushing for 20 yards on five carries.

The latter is nowhere near as athletic as Nix in his age-34 season.

Franklin 30+ receiving yards (-250): The fourth-round draft pick is quickly earning his keep as an important part of Denver’s offence.

He played 59% of snaps in Week 1 and then led all Broncos receivers in Week 2 with an 83% snap share. That was surprisingly higher than Courtland Sutton (78%).

Franklin has earned the extra time. Look at his stats to start the season:

Week 1: Four receptions (six targets), 44 yards.
Week 2: Eight receptions (nine targets), 89 yards.

He may not end the year as the Broncos’ WR1, but he’s certainly solidified himself as a strong second option for Nix in this offence.

And if he’s going to continue getting more opportunities, this line is far too low. I want to take advantage while this number is still available early in the season.

Best NFL Week 3 prop bets: Target Rome Odunze and Tony Pollard, fade Quinshon Judkins on Sunday

A rising star receiver highlights my best NFL Week 3 prop picks.

The pregame narrative: Rome Odunze is breaking out as a sophomore and has a good chance to go off against the Dallas Cowboys. Elsewhere, I believe Tony Pollard will rumble against the Indianapolis Colts.

Check out my top Week 3 NFL prop bets, featuring a fade on Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins.

NFL prop bets: Week 3

Best bet: Odunze over 4.5 receptions (-143)

The second-year wideout is making his claim as the top wide receiver for the Chicago Bears.

He’s on pace to smash his career highs after struggling to meet expectations in his rookie campaign.

Odunze has certainly built chemistry with Caleb Williams, and Ben Johnson is keen to use his young receiver as much as possible.

The 23-year-old Odunze has been targeted 20 times by Williams in two games. It’s led to 13 receptions, 165 yards and three touchdowns.

Odunze leads Chicago’s pass catchers in offensive snaps. He’s played 131 snaps (97%) and run 82 routes.

The top-10 pick from the 2024 draft hasn’t been targeted fewer than nine times in a game. That creates a really solid floor for his production.

The matchup is important, too, and this is a good one for WRs. The Cowboys have the third-worst defensive EPA per dropback, per RBSDM.com.

Key stat: In 2024, Odunze averaged 3.2 receptions per game. He’s upped that number to 6.5 through two weeks, going 2-0 against this line.

Best NFL picks

Pollard over 85.5 rushing/receiving yards (-118): Pollard started slow in Week 1, but I expect more of what we saw last Sunday.

Week 1: 18 rushes, 60 yards (3.3 yards per carry)
Week 2: 20 rushes, 92 yards (4.6 YPC)

Thanks to a 29-yard reception in the first game, the running back is 2-0 on this wager.

There really isn’t much competition in the Tennessee Titans’ backfield, so Pollard is taking on a bell cow role, He played 89% of snaps in both games.

Pollard only has the one reception, but that’s bound to change. He had 41 receptions in 16 games last year.

The Colts’ defence isn’t very good at stopping the run, either. They allow the fourth most YPC in the NFL (5.3).

Judkins under 42.5 rushing yards (-118): I have high hopes for Judkins in his tenure as the RB1 for the Browns.

That said, this fade is all about the matchup.

With Micah Parsons roaming around for the Green Bay Packers, the defence looks generational.

In Week 1, the dynamic duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery ran for 44 yards on a total of 20 carries.

In Week 2, Austin Ekeler and Jacory Croskey-Merritt combined for 34 yards on 12 rushes.

It’s worth noting that the Detroit Lions put up 52 points on the Bears after being held to 13 against the Packers.

The Browns (+7.5) are expected to be playing from behind, which would limit the number of attempts Judkins gets.
