Let’s break down each of these plays.
NFL pick today: Buffalo Bills -4.5 over Miami Dolphins (-110), 1:00 pm ET
After two weeks, the Bills have a +55 point differential, the highest in the league by far. They’ve taken down the reigning champions with ease and completely shut down one of the most dangerous running backs in the league in back-to-back weeks. A negative is that Buffalo has had one less rest day since playing on Monday night, but the Bills don’t look like they’re slowing down anytime soon.

NFL pick today: Baltimore Ravens -2.5 over New England Patriots (-120), 1:00 pm ET
Baltimore has been getting off to fast starts, and to say that New England isn’t a team built to play from behind would be a gross understatement. The Patriots were terrible against the Dolphins in Week 1, and they were bad – at least offensively – again during last Sunday’s 17-14 win over Pittsburgh. Baltimore is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games following a loss. The Patriots are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 overall and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 at home. For that reason, backing the Ravens to bounce back in a big way will be the play.

MLB pick today: Houston Astros ML over Baltimore Orioles (-165), 1:05 pm ET
Houston starter Cristian Javier has looked great recently. He’s coming off back-to-back scoreless starts in which he allowed just 3 total hits. The Astros have won each of his last 4 starts and Javier has led them to big wins against the Yankees twice. It also helps that Houston has the deeper lineup that was bolstered by former Oriole Trey Mancini at the trade deadline.
Orioles starter Austin Voth had a solid start against the Astros last month, but it’s still difficult to trust the usual reliever. He was even back in the bullpen as recently as a week and half ago. Baltimore still has a chance at a wild-card spot, but the Astros are still the kings of the American League and should be the play today.

MLB pick today: Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies – Over 8.5 runs (-110), 1:05 pm ET
Head to head this season, the over is 11-6-1 going into Sunday’s series finale. The starting pitching matchup should reinforce the over trend as Charlie Morton will start for Atlanta and Kyle Gibson will get the ball for Philadelphia. In 4 starts against the Phillies this season, Morton has allowed 10 earned runs in 21.2 innings pitched. Gibson has allowed 7 earned runs in 2 of his last 4 starts and 19 earned runs in his last 17.2 innings pitched overall. Offensive production should be prominent today.
