Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Tampa Bay are 3-6 SU in its last 9 games on the road.

- Tampa Bay are 3-5 in their last 8 games.

- Shane Bieber has won 2 of his last 2 starts for the Blue Jays.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Thursday’s free winner: Arizona Diamondbacks.

Game 959.

2:15 PM PST/5:15 PM EST.

Winners of eight of their last 10 outings, the Arizona Diamondbacks are playing some good baseball, rising into the second spot in the National League West. They possess an offense that has been absolutely explosive, and a pitching staff that has been stable. To say they have dominated the St. Louis Cardinals would be an understatement. The Diamondbacks have taken four of six meetings this season, and going back a bit seven of the last nine overall matchups. Speaking of the Cardinals, they are struggling, dropping four of their last five to sink into a tie for third place with the Pirates in the Central division at 52-49. Brandon Pfaadt and Michael McGreevy are slated here today. Arizona right-hander has been solid earning a 4-1 record as the team has won six of his seven turns in 2026. Over his last three outings he has been perfect going 3-0 with an anemic ERA of 1.72. In one of those outings, he shut down this very same St. Louis opponent going 5.1 strong innings and only allowing two earned runs. The Cardinals right-hander is 4-7. But does own a nice ERA of 2.92. He threw well against todays opponent back on July 17. But earned a no decision. He’s actually pitched quite well on his last four outings, and is pretty good at home. But I just don’t like the matchup here as the Arizona Diamondbacks have certainly dominated the St. Louis Cardinals. Take Arizona. Thank you.

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER Royals/Tigers.

Divisional foes collide for a four game series in Detroit on Thursday night, and considering the form of the starters in the first matchup, I believe that the "under" is worth a second look.

Kansas City hands the ball to Randy Dobnak (0-0, 1.93 ERA), who is off a no-decision to the Padres after allowing one run over 4.1 innings. So far he's been solid since being recalled from Triple A, allowing three runs over 14 frames.

He'll be opposed by Troy Melton (5-1, 1.80 ERA) who is also off a no-decision to the Angels on Friday, allowing one run and striking out nine over 5.2 innings of work. He owns a 36:9 K:BB over 29.1 innings of work this year.

Consider the UNDER.

Good luck, NP

Michael McGreevy is the much better starter in this matchup with Brandon Pfaadt of the Diamondbacks.  McGreevy is 4-7 with a 2.92 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 19 starts this season. He has been virtually unhittable at home, going 2-2 with a 1.89 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in nine home starts.  McGreevy gave up one earned run in 6 1/3 innings in his only previous start against the Diamondbacks.  Pfaadt is 4-1 with a 4.88 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in seven starts and 10 relief outings this season for Arizona.  Give me the Cardinals.

The Thursday Europa League round 2 Qualifier play is on Benfica -1.5 goals at 1 eastern. Benfica finished 3rd overall in the Primeira LIGA The Top league in Portugal. Benfica made it to the knockout stage in the Champions League last year before bowing out to Real Madrid, this time around its the Europa and they take on Swiss Side St. Gallen and they won their domestic league cup but have looked inept in 2 friendlies this summer losing 6-3 and 3-0, the last of which was to Norwich City. There is a large gulf in talent between the two teams and even with the Home field we will back Benfica to secure the multiple goal win. GL Rob V-

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #688 Under in Edmonton @ Saskatchewan (9p.m., Thursday, July 23 CBS Sports Network) Edmonton scored just 19 points last week and I see them struggling to light up the scoreboard on Thursday in the CFL as Week 8 gets underway at Mosaic Stadium. These are two of the best three teams in the CFL, and both teams have strong defenses, especially the Elks. Edmonton has allowed just 138 points in 6 games. Saskatchewan has allowed over 30 points per game, but they are coming off a bye and that will help them get some defensive players back for this game. Often times when good teams meet, the defensive’s dominate and we expect a low scoring game on Thursday. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Weekend card featuring top plays in Soccer, UFC, CFL, and KBO.

Thursday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Cardinals -118

My selection is on Toronto minus the points over B.C. at 7 pm et on Saturday.

The Argonauts have still yet to play a game at home this season with the World Cup previously taking up residence in their home stadium in Toronto. After Saturday's game they'll finally look ahead to their 'home opener' following a bye week. Needless to say, the importance of this game has been ratcheted up thanks to a three-game slide, both SU and ATS. We do know the Argos are capable of better. They opened the season with a hard-fought 37-30 loss in Montreal before delivering convincing victories in Ottawa and Saskatchewan. Save for a blowout defeat in Calgary on July 2nd, Toronto hasn't been all that far off. It has been moving the ball through the air at will and has turned it over a grand total of five times over its last four games. That's in stark contrast to the Lions, who haven't been able to get anything going offensively and have committed a whopping eight turnovers over their last three contests. The Lions have been held to fewer than 80 rushing yards in three of five games to date. Of course, they're up against it now with QB Nathan Rourke sidelined due to injury. Take Toronto (8*).

Diamondbacks vs Cardinals MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back an Arizona team playing its best baseball of the season. The Diamondbacks have won eight of their last 10 games, while St. Louis dropped four straight before narrowly beating the Angels 1-0 last night.

That victory completed a six-game Cardinals road trip, creating a potentially difficult travel and adjustment spot as they return home for this makeup game.

Cardinals right-hander Michael McGreevy (4-7, 2.92 ERA) has pitched well, but St. Louis has still lost seven of his last 10 starts. Arizona counters with right-hander Brandon Pfaadt (4-1, 4.58 ERA), who owns a 2.67 ERA while leading the Diamondbacks to four wins across his last five starts.

Pfaadt recently faced St. Louis on July 18, allowing only two runs without issuing a walk over 5 1/3 innings in Arizona’s 5-3 victory

The Bet: Diamondbacks (3%). 

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the road team in this matchup. The line appears to be highly influenced by Toronto RHP Shane Bieber's career numbers and reputation as an ace, but he got a late start to his season due to shoulder fatigue, and has posted a 5.70 ERA in 23.2 innings.. The Blue Jays have just one win in eight games and Rays LHP Ian Seymour (6-2, 4.79 ERA) seems to be on par with Bieber at the moment.
