MIKE'S MLB FREE PICK Dodgers veteran lefty Clayton Kershaw is a lock for Cooperstown, no doubt about it—but he’s still shaking off the rust after offseason surgeries on his left foot and toe. Kershaw gave up five runs in just four innings during his 2025 debut, an 11-9 loss to the Angels last weekend, and it’s clear he might need a few more outings to find his rhythm. Meanwhile, Mets right-hander Griffin Canning is locked in with a 5-1 record and a 2.47 ERA. I like the value we're getting backing the sharper arm and fading Kershaw this Friday. 3% FREE PICK ON THE METS. Mike Lundin has been crushing the books with his MLB picks all season, and he’s turned up the heat even more lately, coming into Friday a PERFECT 7-0 with his last 7 MLB premium picks! For today, he’s got another 4% MLB Top Play locked in and ready to go, as well as a 4% NBA Top Play! Grab a subscription and get access to all posted picks, and future picks as they are released. |

Braves -141 at Heritage |

4% MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Atlanta Braves are 5-5 over their last 10 games, but they've continued to produce offensively even in defeat, like in yesterday’s 8-7 loss to the Nationals. With left-hander Chris Sale on the mound, I expect them to outscore a Padres team that had managed just three total runs in the five games prior to Thursday’s 7-6 loss. 4% PLAY ON THE BRAVES. |

Knicks -6 -108 at Heritage |
Lost $108.0 |
Play Type: Top Premium | ||
4% PACERS/KNICKS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY In Game 1, the New York Knicks got a dose of their own medicine. After pulling off multiple comebacks against Boston in the last round, they let the Pacers hang around and paid the price as Indiana rallied late and stole the game in OT. Expect a more locked-in effort from the Knicks in Game 2, knowing they can’t afford to head to Indiana trailing 0-2 in the series and the Pacers might come out less hungry knowing they already have a road win in the bag. 4% PLAY ON THE KNICKS. |

MLB | May 24, 2025 Diamondbacks vs Cardinals |
Cardinals -106 at Buckeye |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Top Premium | ||
4% MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a solid spot to fade the Diamondbacks with Merrill Kelly on the mound. Kelly is coming off a dominant outing, 11 strikeouts over seven scoreless, one-hit innings, but this feels like a natural letdown spot. He now faces a Cardinals team that’s been tough to beat at home with a 17-8 record, a clear edge over Arizona’s 13-12 mark on the road. The value here is backing the home team against an overvalued pitcher. 4% PLAY ON THE CARDINALS. |

5% IL RUNLINE OF THE MONTH MAX BET The Los Angeles Angels are playing their best baseball of the season, riding an eight-game winning streak and scoring six or more runs in all but one of those contests, including yesterday’s 7-4 win over Miami. Marlins right-hander Cal Quantrill (3-4, 6.37 ERA) gave up seven runs the last time he faced the Angels, and will need to do a lot better to outperform Jose Soriano (3-4, 3.57 ERA), who’s been the more reliable arm. 5% PLAY ON THE ANGELS -1.5. |

NBA | May 24, 2025 Thunder vs Wolves |
Thunder -2½ -110 at Buckeye |
|
Play Type: Top Premium | ||
5% NBA WEST CONF GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET The Thunder took care of business at home with back-to-back dominant wins over the Wolves, and I don’t see the script flipping just because the series shifts to Minnesota. OKC has been strong on the road all season and continues to outwork and outclass the Wolves in every phase. This feels like a sweep, or a gentleman’s sweep at best, but if Minnesota steals one, it’s more likely to come in Game 4, not Game 3. 5% PLAY ON THE THUNDER. |

Mike "Moneymaker" Lundin's experience as a professional poker player has proven to be an immeasurable asset in sports handicapping. He's a numbers guy, with a keen eye for spotting trends and stats that just don't jive with the odds offered by the bookmakers. All Mike's plays come with write ups backing up his selection, giving you a glimpse into his process of breaking down games. ----Bankroll Management---- Mike rates his plays between 2-5* (bet with 2-5% of your bankroll) with the 5* bets being the MAX BETS. 2% = Free picks and low-confidence / high-variance plays 3% = Regular plays - most plays will be given a 3* rating 4% = Top Plays = Play of the Day and other top play releases 5% = Best Bets = Game of the Week, Month, and Game of the Year releases Just as in cash game poker, the goal is not to win that giant pot once in a while, but to build your bankroll slowly and steadily by identifying +EV situations to exploit. ----Handicapping Methodology---- As a former online poker pro, Mike knows the value of creating systems and winning formulas through statistical analysis and math to use as a baseline, but much like poker, sports are played by human beings with emotions and feelings. Identifying letdown spots, bounce-back spots and situational betting in general plays a big part in Mike's success in picking winners, but he's also not a stranger to locking in a bet based on stats and trends alone. |
