Ricky's 1* play on TB.

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 4-1 SU in its last 5 games.

- Cleveland are 2-4 SU in its last 6 games.

- Cleveland are 3-7 SU in its last 10 games against an opponent in the American League.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

I like the 64-39 Brewers to get revenge in a big way after losing at home to the Rockies on Friday. Colorado has the worst record in the National League.

Colorado starter Ryan Feltner has a 5.48 ERA and the Rockies bullpen has the fifth highest ERA.

The Brewers have the fourth lowest bullpen ERA at 3.51 and rank fifth in scoring.

Each of the Rockies' last seven losses have come by more than one run.

(Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 9-2 on his last 11 MLB premium plays and has three premium MLB plays today in addition to this free selection.)

Saturday’s free winner: Chicago White Sox.

Game 970.

4:10 PM PST/7:10 PM EST.

Very quiet quietly, the Chicago White Sox have taken over the American League Central at 54-48. You may not realize this, but they are one of the best home teams in all of baseball, going 31-18 at Rate Field in 2026. Yes, I am aware Houston has taken the last three meetings, going back to June of last season in this American League rivalry. I am also aware of the Astros enter today’s Game 2, winning their last four overall outings. The Astros are heavily relying upon their bullpen, which is third (as of post) in the Majors. But today’s game in my opinion is all about a little bit of revenge, home field advantage, and starting pitchers. Chicago has not dropped back-to-back games since July 9. So, I feel that they’re in big revenge mode here. They’re also playing at home, where I mentioned earlier, they one of the best home teams in baseball. And lastly, Hunter Brown goes up against Sean Burke. The Astros right-hander is 1-1 with a 4.05 ERA this season. He has been struggling in July, going 0-1 with a 7.98 ERA. The Chicago right-hander is 7-4 with a 3.20 ERA on the campaign. The team has prevailed in his last six appearances, which includes five straight starts and a relief appearance. Over his last three outings he has an anemic 0.92 ERA, earning a 2-0 record. All signs point to the home team Chicago White Sox. Thank you.

Recommended Bet: Philadelphia +100

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SATURDAY, 7/25:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Saturday is with the money-line on the Minnesota Twins versus the Athletics listing both starting pitchers Connor Prielipp and Mason Burnett. Minnesota (51-54) had won two games in a row before their 2-0 loss at home against the Athletics last night. The Twins have won 5 of their last 8 games at home. They have also won 10 of their last 16 games against teams from the AL West. The Athletics had lost two games in a row before last night’s triumph — but they have still lost 21 of their last 27 contests. They have lost 7 of their last 9 games against teams with a losing record in the second half of the season. They have also lost 14 of their last 21 games with the total set in the 10-10.5 range. Take Minnesota with the money-line listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Baltimore Orioles -108

The Baltimore Orioles are playing their best baseball of the season going 8-3 in their last 11 games overall with a pair of one-run losses.  That includes their 7-6 loss to the Braves in extras yesterday, which was the 3rd consecutive one-run win for Atlanta.  The Braves have a taxed bullpen right now, and I look for the Orioles to bounce back in Game 2 tonight.

Baltimore has the advantage on the mound behind Brandon Young, who is 8-2 with a 3.55 ERA in 16 starts this season while allowing just 9 homers in 91 1/3 innings.  Young hasn't allowed more than 4 earned runs in any start this season, and he has allowed 3 earned runs or fewer in 14 of his 16 starts.

Bryce Elder is 6-6 with a 4.06 ERA in 19 starts this season.  But Elder has been particularly poor on the road, going 2-4 with a 5.31 ERA in eight road starts while allowing 24 earned runs and 9 homers in 40 2/3 innings.  He is 1-3 with a 9.00 ERA in his last five starts overall, allowing 24 earned runs and 10 homers in 24 innings.  Bet the Orioles Saturday.

1* Free Pick on Team Weatherspoon/Team Cooper: over 276½

This is a WNBA All-Star Game priced for the environment the league is actually playing in, and I'll take the Over 276.5.

Start with the macro number.

Teams are averaging 86.8 points per game in 2026, up from 81.7 in 2025.

That's a 5-point-per-team jump in a single season.

Extrapolate that pace to a 40-minute exhibition where nobody is scheming pick-and-roll coverages and you're already in the neighborhood of this total before any All-Star inflation.

The recent precedent matters too.

The 2025 All-Star Game between Team Collier and Team Clark landed on 282 combined points.

That clears 276.5 with room.

And that game didn't have the Wilson-Clark pairing that Team Weatherspoon put together this year, with Rhyne Howard coming off the bench.

The opposition case is real.

The 2024 game only totaled 226, and the new Icon GM format with Weatherspoon and Cooper drafting rosters is being sold as more competitive.

Kelsey Plum being replaced by Kahleah Copper for Team Cooper is a small negative for pace.

Here's why it doesn't flip the ticket.

All-Star defensive intensity talk shows up every single year and rarely holds past the opening minutes.

Even if these two Hall of Fame GMs pump up their rosters in the huddle, the players still aren't rotating on closeouts in July.

Copper for Plum is a lateral shooter swap, not a scoring downgrade.

The 2026 scoring environment is the story.

Price is fair.

Saturday Card has a RARE MLB RED Diamond Play, along with a 5* CFL Perfect System Side and EARLY Tennis. MLS Comp Play below

 The Saturday Comp play is on Houston at 8:30 eastern in MLS Soccer action. Nice Battle here in Texas and we will back Houston here. They are unbeaten here at home over the last 2+ months. They welcome in an Austin team that had lost 3 straight and then put together a nice 3-1 win over Seattle at home. On the road its another story for Austin as they have not taken the spoils in a road game this year and are just 1-3 here vs Houston. This should be a tight game but we will back the home team here to bag the 3 points. GL Rob V-

The Toronto Argonauts and BC Lions should go OVER the total Saturday in a matchup featuring two productive quarterbacks and two vulnerable defenses.

Chad Kelly has surpassed 300 passing yards in five of Toronto’s first six games, while Nathan Rourke gives BC the ability to score quickly through the air or with his legs. Toronto has struggled to prevent big plays, and the Lions have consistently allowed opponents to move the football.

With both teams needing a victory and neither defense looking dependable, this game has the potential to become an aggressive, back-and-forth shootout.

1* Free Play on Eliezer Kubanza -130

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*).

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the road underdog in this matchup. The betting line appears to be heavily inflated due to the public reputation of Pittsburgh's starter, but expecting the Pirates to justify a steep premium on their home dirt is a massive market overreaction. White Pittsburgh RHP Paul Skenes (9-8, 3.43 ERA) commands immense market respect and carries strong individual metrics, Pittsburgh has routinely failed to convert his outings into betting value, stumbling to a sluggish 9-12 team record and generating a substantial negative ROI in his starts this season.

Cubs LHP Shota Imanaga (6-8, 3.91 ERA) enters this contest in electric form. Over his last three starts, Imanaga has completely locked down opposing orders, surrendering just three earned runs while racking up 17 strikeouts across 16.2 innings of work. Imanaga holds absolute mastery over this specific opponent; across five career appearances against the Pirates, he boasts a 2-0 record alongside a microscopic 0.28 ERA.

This is a FREE PLAY on the CUBS!

Free Pick on Dodgers -152

3* on Tyson Pedro

Baltimore Orioles -107
The reverse line movement is the clearest signal here. Public money is pouring in on Atlanta, yet the number continues to drift toward the Orioles. That kind of RLM is often a reliable indicator that sharper money is on the home side.
Bryce Elder has been inconsistent and has not pitched with much confidence lately. Baltimore’s offense, meanwhile, has handled right-handed pitching well all season. Layer on the fact that the Braves bullpen has been unreliable of late, and the late-inning leverage starts to tilt further in the Orioles favor.
At home and getting slight juice, Baltimore is the side to take.
Let's cash some tickets!
