MLB Wild Card Free Picks | Plus Week 5 NFL Best Bets

Published: Fri, 10/07/22

The long MLB regular season is over, and now it's time for October Baseball. We have a brand new Wild Card format with one extra team in each league making the postseason. Instead of a one-game elimination game, we have four, 3-game series beginning at Noon ET with the Rays vs. Guardians. Bobby Babowski comes into the postseason riding a 12-7 (+594) run and has two top picks today. Jay Cooper will have a pick in each and every game through the World Series.

It's going to be a very busy weekend to say the least. It really began last night with one of the worst prime time games I've seen in a while between the Colts and Broncos. While we were watching that snooze-fest, our staff was finalizing our Week 5 picks and we have them posted below, along with our Westgate SuperContest selections, which went 5-0 last week. Our top plays were a combined 11-3-1 (79%) with Jay Cooper leading the way with a 4-0-1 mark, while Bobby Babowski was 4-1.

The NHL season also begins this morning with the Sharks and Predators getting things going from Prague. All of our picks are 100% free and available every morning on our website. Below, you will find our Best Bets for Friday, October 7th, 2022 from our expert handicappers including some future bets at the bottom. Good luck to everyone today!

Be sure to check out our Daily Free Pick Video Monday-Friday on Twitter.
