Lock in a 365-day All-Access Pass to Steve Merril for $1,188, regularly $1,999. That is about $99 a month, roughly $3.25 a day, for a full year of every pick, every sport he handicaps, and every 5% Best Bet.

Buy each sport as a separate annual package, and you would pay up to $4,535. At $1,188, you save over $3,300, and $811 off the regular all-access price.

 Included:

  • 365 days of All-Access to every sport Steve releases
  • Every 5% Best Bet
  • Weekly client-only Market Call LIVE with Steve for Q&A and live bets
  • 25% off coupon on all future regular-priced purchases


Included Bonus: Market Call LIVE with Steve Merril, a client-only interactive Thursday session: Every Thursday before Thursday Night Football, Steve opens the book on the week's biggest numbers, covering a full TNF matchup breakdown, the week's line moves and what they signal, his advance NFL Public Report on where the money and tickets are going, his proprietary College Football 10K simulation model for any game you want, Contest strategy and Picks, and a live Q&A answered on air. Coming soon: Ask the AI to query his trends and systems database live, the WT Beta Matchup Simulator to run the games before they are played, and Financial Markets reads, including S&P 500, Bitcoin and any other stock or commodity you want to discuss trading. This Exclusive invitation is currently reserved for Steve Merril's long-term clients only, and is your unique opportunity to interact with Steve directly each and every week this season.

WEEKEND WARRIOR: EVERY FOOTBALL PLAY, SAT & SUN, JUST $49!

Two days. Two sports. One pass. Get every Saturday College Football and Sunday NFL play from your handicapper, and every 5% max football release is in there too, no upcharge. Retail runs $78. You're in for $49!

Here's the edge most people miss: plays go out the moment they're released. Buy early in the week, and you get every play in real time, at the number your handicapper actually bet. Wait until the weekend, and you risk buying in after the line's already moved. The earlier you lock in, the more picks you catch at the right price.

This is the whole football weekend, wall to wall, for less than the price of a single max play elsewhere. Lock in your Weekend Warrior now and don't leave a snap or a number on the table.
 

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.

(955) Philadelphia Phillies at (956) Atlanta Braves: Spread
7:15pm EDT - Sep 11/2026

THE PLAY: Atlanta Braves -1.5 (119) Aaron Nola (RHP), Chris Sale (LHP) Must Start

Atlanta starter Chris Sale projects to give up 1.8 runs with a 2.72 ERA and 0.94 WHIP.  Philadelphia’s lineup has hit just .221 (34-154) with a weak .620 OPS against Sale in his career.  The Phillies will start Aaron Nola.  The righty projects to give up 2.8 earned runs with a 4.64 ERA and 1.47 WHIP.  With the starting pitching clearly in Atlanta’s favor, look for the Braves to get a solid home win in this game on Friday night.

Play BRAVES (-1.5 runline).
