Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 8/23

Written August 23, 2009 by Jack Jones

reds-pirates-predictions-082309 Great bounce-back Saturday with a 4-1 performance, including winning my 20* game of the week on the Packers! A pair of MLB picks for Sunday and one is a 20* No-Brainer total! We’re having a great MLB season at +1,255 units so far, and we’re going for more on Sunday! Grab my package now at the Jack Jones home page or take a look at some of the baseball picks being released by our other top handicappers.

**EARLY BIRD** Football subscriptions are now available! Pick one up today and save $100 on any football season package!

As of 7/31: I want to note that this is the time of the year when MLB teams start calling up a lot of their young pitchers and position players. As a result, I am much more selective with my picks and will likely have fewer bets from here on out.

I’m going to take a little break from the comment for a free pick offer. Instead I’m going to release one of my premium picks as the free pick over the next couple of days. The comment offer will be back shortly! You are still more than welcome to comment on today’s pick, I appreciate the feedback.

Free Pick for Sunday

So I know I’ve had this disclaimer about the free picks being the weakest plays and that I don’t play them, but I really put 1% of my bankroll on these games in comparison to 3-4% on the regular and BEST BETS. I just don’t want people getting ridiculous on the free picks when they aren’t intended to be the highest percentage of winners that I offer.

You can find more great winners every day by visiting our sports betting forum.

15* on Pittsburgh Pirates -135 at Sportsbook.com

The Pirates just keep on rolling while the Reds seem to have totally given up on the season. Pitt has won 5 games in a row and is scoring over 5 runs per game over the past week. The Reds have lost 6 of their last 7, are 20 games under .500 for the season, and are hitting just .219 as a team and scoring about 3 runs per game over their last 7 contests. The Reds start Homer Bailey, a young prospect they have been trying to work into the rotation for a few years now. Bailey has struggled in the majors this year, going just 2-4 with a 7.53 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 11 starts. The way the Pirates are rolling right now they are a solid bet over the Reds on Sunday.

CBB: 51-36
NBA: 26-38
NHL: 4-0 (+665)
CFB: 3-1
NFL: 4-1
MLB: 42-49-1 (-1293)

I also post my free picks on Twitter so if you follow me there it may be easier to get the picks if you are away from your computer and stop by every day for more free baseball picks from top handicappers.
