MLS pick today: Nashville SC +0.5 over Los Angeles Galaxy (-110), 3:00 pm ET
Head-to-head this year the Galaxy won the season series, going 1-0-1. The Galaxy are undefeated in their last 7 home matches although Nashville is undefeated in 5 away games, so something has to give. This is a playoff fixture and with Nashville's tough defense, it's not likely to be a high-scoring fixture.'Nashville has collected at least a point in 71% of away matches this year, so take Nashville to win or tie on the double chance.

MLB pick today: Houston Astros ML over Seattle Mariners (-120), 4:07 pm ET
In a win-or-go-home game, the Mariners have elected to start the rookie, George Kirby. Kirby was promoted from Triple-A in May and had a solid rookie campaign, as he posted an ERA of 3.39 in 130 innings. Kirby has become known for his control as he once threw 24 consecutive strikes in a start this season and has a walk rate of just 4.1%, less than half the MLB average.'In 13 starts at home, Kirby allowed opponents to hit .272 with a .707 OPS, as his one major flaw is that he is prone to being hittable.
Lance McCullers Jr. suffered an injury in the 2021 postseason that ended his season and even sidelined him for the majority of the 2022 season. However, the righty made his return in August and was excellent in his 8 starts, as he posted an ERA of 2.27 in 47.2 innings.'He will likely give up a run or two as the Mariners will want to put on a show in their first playoff baseball game in Seattle in over 20 years, but it likely won't be enough to extend the series. The Houston offense showed they could hit Logan Gilbert and Luis Castillo, so facing a pitcher that is much more hittable like Kirby favors the Astros. Houston should knock around the rookie and send themselves to the ALCS with a win on Saturday.
