About Last Night
Amazing day of baseball picks!
The Pickswise team went a phenomenal 13-2 on Friday’s ML/RL picks and 9-5-1 on totals, also cashing our only 3-star play on Mets -1.5 as they crushed the A’s 9-2. Our best MLB prop bet also hit and our Friday parlay was a +409 winner too! The Phillies beat the Braves 9-1, the Yankees got the better of the Red Sox 5-4, the Orioles shut out the Astros 6-0 and the Cardinals ended the night with an 11-0 win over the Dodgers.
NCAAF mega parlay cashes
We have started college football Week 4 in fine form, cashing our standard parlay at +596 odds on Thursday and then hitting our Friday mega parlay at +618 odds! Syracuse almost blew a 16-point halftime lead in a 22-20 win over Virginia, but moved to 4-0 on the season.

NFL odds and news
The big NFL injury news heading into Sunday’s Week 4 slate is that Chargers QB Justin Herbert is questionable to play against the Jaguars after missing Friday practice with his broken rib cartilage. The Chargers have dropped from 10.5-point favorites for the game to as little as -3 with some sportsbooks. Chase Daniel will start if Herbert is unable to go.
Best Bet of the Day
CFB: Michigan Wolverines -17 over Maryland Terrapins
12:00 pm ET, BTN
Michigan has the #1 scoring offense in the country and the #4 scoring defense while allowing just 91 passing yards per game to opponents. This takes into account that their three opponents so far have been Colorado State, Hawaii and UConn, but that doesn’t change how good this defense is. The Wolverines welcome the Maryland Terrapins this week for their first Big Ten conference game of the year. The Terrapins have been been averaging 40 points per game this year but could falter on defense. They gave up 21 points to Charlotte and 27 to SMU. The Terps won just two road games last year and one in each of 2020 and 2019. Furthermore, their prolific offense was all but shut down by the Big Ten’s best defenses. Read our full Maryland vs Michigan predictions.
