Triple Play All-Access Baseball Pass – Includes 5% Best Bets – ONLY $49!

For a limited time, get every baseball play from your favorite handicapper for three full days — and any 5% Best Bets released — for just $49. That's only $16.33 per day for every premium baseball release your handicapper posts. You'll receive instant access the moment plays are released, ensuring you get the best possible number before the lines move.

Individually, these plays would cost well over $100, but the Triple Play All-Access Pass gives you three days of nonstop baseball action for less than half the price. As a bonus, if your handicapper releases any college or international selections during your access window — including College Baseball, KBO (Korea) or NPB (Japan) — those are included at no extra charge. Don't miss a single first pitch — lock in your Triple Play All-Access Pass today and start cashing tickets!

*Access includes all MLB selections and any college/international baseball released and played during your 3-day window.

Need more than 3 days? Stack 'em up. Buy multiple 3-Day passes and ride the same low rate as long as you want — they'll run back-to-back so you never miss a play.

And here's the kicker: while your pass is active, you'll also have a 25% OFF coupon good on regular-priced daily packages and Flex Passes!

Whether you're following a proven expert or trying someone new, this deal gives you full access to every selection and every piece of analysis — no restrictions, no exceptions.

(977) Texas Rangers at (978) Colorado Rockies: F5 Spread

2% F5 Colorado Rockies +0.5 (-110) MacKenzie Gore (LHP), Jose Quintana (LHP) Must Start/downgrade @-125

Colorado Rockies Performance Analysis:

  • Current Record: The Rockies are currently 18-29 this season but they are 7-6 in their last 13 games against teams with a losing record.

  • Interleague Matchup: This interleague series marks the first time in 2 seasons that a visitor is playing in the Mile High City, an important context for the matchup. The Rockies have performed reasonably well at home in series openers, going 14-10 (58%) in such games. The average line in those games was +136.5, producing a 39.4% ROI, indicating profitability when playing in familiar surroundings.

  • Starting Pitcher - José Quintana: Quintana has made 7 starts this season, posting a 3.97 ERA and 1.412 WHIP overall. However, he has been particularly effective in his last 4 starts, maintaining a 2.57 ERA with only 6 earned runs and 17 hits allowed in 21 innings.

Texas Rangers Performance Analysis:

  • Recent Struggles: The Rangers avoided being swept by the Astros with a win yesterday, but they are only 3-8 in games following a victory. This inconsistency indicates difficulties in maintaining momentum after wins.

  • Series Opener Difficulties: Texas has struggled in series openers, with a record of 1-6 in such games this season. Their overall performance on the road has also been disappointing, standing at 3-8 since April 18, with only 2 wins as a favorite.

  • Offensive Production: The Rangers are batting just .194 over the past 6 games and are hitting .228 over the past month, which is problematic, especially since they have only managed .217 against left-handed pitchers.

  • Starting Pitcher - Mackenzie Gore: Mackenzie Gore has a 4.50 ERA and 1.250 WHIP in 9 starts this season, but this performance deteriorates on the road with numbers ballooning to a 6.38 ERA and 1.583 WHIP. H.

Consultant Bio

MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW HIM @JMSportsCLE

Yet another handicapper from the Cleveland area following Marc Lawrence, Phil Steele, Ralph Michaels, Ed Meyer, and Bryan Leonard. In fact, Jeff's hunger for handicapping began at a young age, being surrounded by parents who made sports betting a daily routine. Jeff then worked for both North Coast Sports and Phil Steele Publications, learning the intricacies of sports betting and becoming a profitable handicapper. Throughout his college years, Jeff's mathematical and analytical prowess helped him develop a betting strategy that turned sports betting into a profitable venture.

Jeff now joins the Sports Memo Marketplace after selling picks on several small sites. Jeff handicaps the traditional sports of NFL, CFB, the NBA, College Basketball, and MLB while showing real prowess in the WNBA. He has dominated the teaser market and has spent a lot of his focus on sides. While also adding in a share of props (especially NFL & MLB), as well as totals.
