Who says 13 is an unlucky number? Week 13 was certainly not unlucky for me. It wasn’t quite the triple crown hit I wanted, but it was close.

I went 10-5 in my ATS expert picks, 11-3-1 straight up, and 3-3 on my best bets as part of the Pick Six podcast. This improves my records to 92-95-8 ATS, 111-77-1 straight and 44-30-3 with my best bets.

So all in all it was a good week. Let’s move on.

Thursday, 8:15 p.m. (Amazon Prime Video)

Featured Game | Los Angeles Rams vs Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders have won three straight games to get back into the playoff mix. Derek Carr and Davante Adams will be a big problem for the Rams. Josh Jacobs runs it well too. The Rams played hard last week, but they’re shorthanded with all the injuries. Raiders keep it going, even on the street in a short week.

Choose: Raiders 26, Rams 16

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)

Featured Game | Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets

The Jets are playing back-to-back road games while the Bills are resting after last Thursday’s game. Bad combination. The Bills also look like they’re getting it rolling again on offense. The Jets’ defense is good but didn’t look that great last week. Buffalo wins behind Josh Allen as Jets quarterback Mike White can’t keep up.

Choose: Bills 29, Jet’s 13

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)

Featured Game | Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens

Kenny Picket is 3-1 in his last four starts for the Steelers as they make a small push late in the season. The Ravens had offensive issues with Lamar Jackson, and now he’s out. That means it’s time for Tyler Huntley at quarterback. The Steelers’ defense is playing better, so that’s not good for the Ravens.

Choose: Steelers 24, Ravens 13

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)

Featured Game | Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns

Joe Burrow has never beaten the Browns, which will make this a challenge. But the Bengals are playing well. The Browns have Deshaun Watson back, but he was terrible against the Texans. The Bengals and Burrow will keep it going. Bengalis take it.

Choose: Bengal 28, Brown 23

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox, FuboTV)

Featured Game | Dallas Cowboys vs. Houston Texans

The cowboys play good football, the Texans don’t. Dallas have to be wary of disappointment here, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. Your defense will be the dominant part of this game. You will win big behind. Dak Prescott plays well too.

Choose: Cowboys 33, Texans 10

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox, FuboTV)

Featured Game | Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings

This is actually a good game with both teams having impressive wins last week. The Vikings are a shoo-in to win the division, but the Lions live for a wildcard spot. The Lions offense will pose big problems for a Vikings defense that hasn’t played that well. The Lions win behind Jared Goff.

Choose: Lions 31, Vikings 28

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox, FuboTV)

Featured Game | New York Giants vs Philadelphia Eagles

This is a big game for the Giants in the playoff race, a game between two with Washington. They need this game more than the Eagles, but the Eagles fly high on offense. It’s going to be a big challenge for the Giants, but I think they’re staying in this thing.

Choose: Eagle 27, giant 24

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)

Featured Game | Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Titans have dominated the Jaguars throughout their history, especially in the last 10 years. Both teams have suffered terrible road losses and now the Jaguars are back on the road. The Titans will do what they always do with the Jaguars, which is give Derrick Henry free rein. Titans take it.

Choose: Titans 30, Jaguars 21

Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)

Featured Game | Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs suffered a tough loss against the Bengals and are playing a second game in a row. Big thing. Denver’s offense is terrible. The Denver defense is good, but it won’t slow down Patrick Mahomes. Look for the Chiefs to get back on track, especially after last week’s loss.

Choose: Chiefs 27, Broncos 13

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET (Fox, FuboTV)

Featured Game | Seattle Seahawks vs. Carolina Panthers

Geno Smith is playing excellent football for the Seahawks, who would be in the playoffs if they started now. The Panthers get away with a bye, but they play for nothing. That’s a long journey for a team with little motivation. The Seahawks will win it behind Smith.

Choose: Seahawks 31, Panthers 17

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET (Fox, FuboTV)

Featured Game | San Francisco 49ers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs had an amazing fourth-quarter comeback Monday night to beat the Saints, but the offense struggled for most of the game. That’s never a good thing against the 49ers’ defense. The 49ers will start Brock Purdy as quarterback, but he’ll play well. The 49ers take it.

Choose: 49ers 26, Bucs 17

Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC, FuboTV)

Featured Game | Los Angeles Chargers vs. Miami Dolphins

This is Tua Tagovailoa versus Justin Herbert in a battle of 2020 first-round draft picks. Tagovailoa didn’t play well last week and is feeling a little bruised. The Chargers need the game more and should be able to move it against the Miami defense. Herbert brings out the best in Tua as downfield passing play finally explodes for the Chargers.

Choose: Chargers 33, Dolphins 28

Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN, FuboTV)

Featured Game | Arizona Cardinals vs. New England Patriots

The Cardinals walk away with a bye while the Patriots put on a terrible performance against the Bills last Thursday. The offense was lifeless. That will change here. They’ll move the ball against the Arizona defense and limit Kyler Murray. The Patriots win.

Choose: Patriots 24, Cardinals 21

SAN DIEGO — Aaron Judge agreed to return to the New York Yankees early Wednesday morning on a landmark nine-year $360 million deal, but only after a last-minute push by a surprise entrant in the free-agent slugger sweepstakes — the San Diego Padres.

Pending a physical, Judge’s deal earns him the highest average annual value for a position player in major league history, beating Mike Trout’s previous mark of $35.5 million by nearly $5 million. The deal is two years longer and worth $146.5 million more than the seven-year, $213.5 million extension offer that the judge rejected by the Yankees at the end of spring training.

Judge, who turns 31 on April 26, added to his worth by compiling baseball’s all-time best walk year and hitting 62 home runs to break the American League’s single-season record. He will now be tied to the Yankees through his season at age 39. He is expected to become captain of the team as part of the deal, ensuring he will likely retire in the only uniform he has ever known.

The Giants were putting heavy pressure on Judge, and at one point Tuesday seemed to be gaining momentum in their efforts to sign him. Looking for a big-name slugger, they are now expected to pursue one of the remaining three shortstops in the free-agent market – Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts or Dansby Swanson.

The Padres lashed out at Trea Turner Monday but, as has often been the case under general manager AJ Preller, were unwilling to stop swinging. Club officials met face-to-face with Aaron Judge Tuesday night at Petco Park in San Diego, four sources on the matter told The Athletic. However, it is believed that they never had the chance to make a formal offer.

A meeting with Judge signaled that Preller and owner Peter Seidler were seriously considering the pivot of all pivots. Before Turner agreed to a $300 million deal with the Phillies, the Padres offered the shortstop a $342 million guarantee stretching for at least 11 years, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions . Now that they’ve lost Judge, they could start a more serious pursuit of Bogaerts, which industry sources say Preller remains interested in.

However, Judge was a better fit for the Padres than Bogaerts or Turner. Signing him would give San Diego arguably the best outfield in baseball, with the American League home run king and Juan Soto patrolling the corners. It would also have allowed Fernando Tatis Jr. to stay in the infield after returning from his suspension on performance-enhancing drugs on April 20, in any combination alongside Jake Cronenworth and Ha-Seong Kim.

The Padres would have become the first major league team to promote three $300 million players – Judge, Tatis and Manny Machado. Instead, that award will go to the Yankees, who have pitchers Gerrit Cole on a nine-year, $324 million contract and Giancarlo Stanton on a 13-year, $325 million contract, which they acquired from the Marlins.

With Judge’s return, the Yankees intend to accelerate other free-agent activity. Left-hander Carlos Rodón, outfielder Andrew Benintendi and Japanese outfielder Matsataka Yoshida are among the players they are interested in. The team have already signed first baseman Anthony Rizzo and reached an agreement with reliever Tommy Kahnle.

The Philadelphia Phillies and free-agent pitcher Taijuan Walker have agreed a four-year, $72 million deal, major league sources tell The Athletic. Here’s what you need to know:

• Walker is ranked #12 on The Athletic’s Keith Law’s Top 50 Free Agents list.
• The 30-year-old right-hander won 12-5 last season with a 3.49 ERA and 157.1 IP.
• He received his first career All-Star nod in 2021, in his first season with the Mets.
• In addition to Walker, the Phillies are inking a deal with free-agent left-hander Matt Strahm, major league sources tell The Athletic.

scouting report

In 2022, Walker showed why he should aim for a multi-year deal, even if he’s more of a mid-range free-agent option.

Walker redesigned himself as a strike thrower with an out pitch in his splitter, a pitch he rarely used prior to Tommy John’s surgery. Hitters have an extremely difficult time lifting the ball against him; The average starting angle on the field when hitters make contact is -1 degrees. Of the balls hit by Walker’s splitter in the playoff, 55 percent were at 0 degrees or less, i.e. parallel to or with the ground, and only six percent were hit in the 26 to 30 degree launch angle range, where balls at 95 mph or harder-hit barrels by Statcast, meaning they’re likely extra base hits.

Law: The Phillies address another big question by adding Taijuan Walker

Why the Phillies made this move

After the Phillies agreed to a $300 million deal for Trea Turner, their next goal was a reliable mid-rotation pitcher. They were reluctant to sign a pitcher tied to a qualifying offer because they would give up draft picks to sign Turner. So they paid a premium for one of the best starters that didn’t cost them a pick. An annual salary of $18 million for a mid-rotation pitcher is steep, but unless it’s already clear, the Phillies aren’t going to win awards for efficiency. They don’t care.

They had to replace a significant amount of rotational innings lost to the departures of Kyle Gibson, Zach Eflin and Noah Syndergaard. Walker, 30, had two consecutive healthy seasons with the Mets. He used his splitter more than ever in 2022, and that’s a plus point the Phillies might want him to throw more in 2023. Opponents hit .195 with a .267 batting percentage against the splitter.

The Phillies followed a simple philosophy with their pitchers this past season: Throw your best pitches more. So it’s reasonable to think that with some tweaks, the Phillies will see even more potential in Walker. Even if he were the pitcher he was in 2022 — a 111 ERA+ — he would deliver a stable power mid-rotation. – Yellow

What Philadelphia is getting with Walker

Having settled for short-term deals during his previous free agency shoots, Walker sought a longer-term deal. With the Mets, he was a consistent groundball pitcher and a dependable part of their rotation. In two years with the Mets, Walker had an All-Star appearance in 2021, had better numbers in 2022, and had a combined 3.98 ERA/4.11 FIP with a 1.18 WHIP in 316 1/3 innings in 59 games, including 58 launches. Using a split finger rather than relying on his four-seam fastball, Walker produced arguably his best season with a 3.49 ERA, 3.65 FIP and 2.5 fWAR in 157 1/3 innings. At Walker, the ground is stable; You pretty much know what you’re getting, and it’s a more than viable option for the Phillies’ rotation. – Samon

The Los Angeles Rams are adding a quarterback to their roster after claiming former Carolina Panthers signal caller Baker Mayfield. per CBS Sports NFL insider Josina Anderson. The former No. 1 overall Cleveland Browns was released Monday by Carolina after just seven games with the Panthers. According to NFL mediaCarolina is now off the hook for the $1.4 million owed to the quarterback.

The Rams claimed Mayfield as they needed a quarterback with Matthew Stafford on injured reserve and John Wolford with a neck injury. via ESPN. Additionally, the Rams will regain a compensatory election if Mayfield signs elsewhere this offseason. ESPN reports There’s a shot Mayfield could play against the Las Vegas Raiders in two days. The team is reportedly in the process of sending the playbook to its new quarterback.

Aside from adding a season-ending quarterback, the Rams may have also played some sort of waiver-wire defense, keeping Mayfield away from rivals San Francisco 49ers, who lost Jimmy Garoppolo to a foot injury on Sunday. ESPN reports that the 49ers have not, nor have, claimed Mayfield any team other than the Rams.

Mayfield got the starting quarterback for the Panthers to start the year after Carolina sent Cleveland a conditional fourth-round pick for his services. However, a serious ankle sprain in Week 5 knocked him out of the starting lineup. Mayfield went 1-5 as a starter for Carolina and completed 57.8 percent of his passes for 1,313 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions in seven games played.

The Rams were one of our top four planned landing spots for Mayfield. The quarterback didn’t fall far behind in the layoff order since the Rams were No. 4. This isn’t the campaign the reigning Super Bowl champion envisioned as the Rams currently sit 3-9 in Week 14. LA may officially be eliminated this week’s postseason with a loss or a tie and a win or a tie for the Seattle Seahawks. They could also be eliminated with a Seahawks win and a New York Giants win or draw. If the Rams are eliminated from playoff contention this week, it would equate to the earliest playoff elimination for a defending Super Bowl champion with the 1999 Denver Broncos.

Aaron Judge answered baseball’s burning offseason question on Wednesday and agreed to a nine-year, $360 million contract staying with the New York Yankees, sources confirmed to ESPN.

The 30-year-old Judge came to free agency after one of the greatest seasons in baseball history, hitting an American League record with 62 home runs to break the mark set by Roger Maris in 1961. .686 with an AL-leading 131 RBIs.

Judge’s historic season came after the outfielder failed to secure a contract extension with the Yankees before opening day. General Manager Brian Cashman publicly announced that the team’s most recent renewal offer was seven years and $213.5 million.

2 relatives

After the season, team owner Hal Steinbrenner said he wanted Judge to become a Yankee for life and met with the Slugger in Tampa, Fla. to discuss a contract.

During baseball’s winter meetings in San Diego, Cashman, who signed a four-year extension with the Yankees, said the team had prioritized Judge’s re-signing but would not set a timeline for his decision.

“We would love to have our player back,” Cashman said on Monday. “We’d love to continue to call him our player every step of the way as he follows what looks like – as long as nothing happens – a career path that will take him to Cooperstown. I want him to wear pinstripes every step of the way.”

Biggest contracts in MLB history

Born in Linden, California, the 6-foot-7 outfielder attended Linden High School and later Fresno State before being drafted by the Yankees in 2013 with the 32nd pick overall. In 2017, he won the AL Rookie of the Year award after hitting a then-rookie-record 52 home runs — a total he wouldn’t surpass until his 2022 record-breaking campaign.

Judge, a four-time All-Star, has 220 home runs and 497 RBIs in seven big league seasons.

MLB Network was the first to report that Judge would re-sign with the Yankees, while The Athletic was first to report the terms of the agreement.
