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.

- The Rays are 7-2 in their last 9 games.

- The Rays are 4-1 in the last 5 head to head meetings.

- Shane Mcclanahan is 3-1 in his last 4 starts for the Rays.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Recommended Bet: Beitar Jerusalem +110

(#903) Miami Marlins | ML | . 

Eury Perez (5-8, 3.56 ERA) vs. Nolan McLean (7-7, 3.32 ERA) . 

Neither of these two pitchers have had great run support when they've been on the mound this season. While I was extremely high on Nolan McLean coming into this season, it was a very down season for the New York Mets who continue to search for answers. McLean will most likely not be traded at the deadline, making him a focal point to the future. However, that doesn't mean that the 25 year old is going to supply all of the answers to a struggling ball club.

On a much better team this year, Eury Perez should be able to shut down the Mets lineup as well. Not only has he dominated so far this month going 6+ innings in all four starts. But, Perez also owns a ridiculous 1.58 ERA over his past seven starts. At an underdog price on Thursday, give me the Marlins.

Burns' Prediction: 4-2 Marlins.

Huge Thursday Card has the Triple Perfect WNBA NON CONF. GAME OF THE YEAR- WNBA 12-2 Run. CFL 100% TOTALS SYSTEM that is 10-0 since 2007. There is also an MLM PLATINUM SUPREME MOVE. Soccer Comp play below

The Thursday Comp play is on the Over 3.5 goals in the Ajax-Amsterdam vs Vojvodina leg 2 match at 2 eastern in the Europa League Qualifiers. Ajax coasted to an easy 4-1 win the first leg and should see solid scoring chances here again as Vojvodina will look to press here to make up the -3 goal differential here. Having to play on the road after allowing 4 at home and against an Ajax team that wont take their foot off the gas will likely lead to a higher scoring game. Vojvodina last 3-1 over the weekend and has not played well against European teams historically. Look for Ajax to get a win in a higher scoring game that plays over the total. GL Rob V-

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take #209909 San Diego over Minnesota (8:30 p.m. EST, Saturday August 1) We hit a +200 underdog on Orlando in MLS with our free soccer pick last week, and let’s do it again this week. Both sides have struggled this season, but San Diego looks like they are turning their season around and they have a chance to jump Minnesota in the standings with three points here. We think San Diego is the better side, and they should be motivated here. They won their lone visit to Minnesota, 4-2, in their short franchise history. We think they can do it again. They are coming off a 1-0 home win over Dallas. In their inaugural season last year they played well on the road at this point of the season and cashed many plus-money tickets in similar situations. Minnesota is on a six-match winless streak, and they have won just one of their last nine. They have five outright losses during that span. They have just three goals in their last five matches, while San Diego has 11 in the same span. San Diego will be aggressive here and we don’t think the Minnesota offense can match them. Great value here, and the road side has a great chance to steal three points for a massive payout.

’ve been grinding Thursday’s board longer than I care to admit, and the under in Texas at Tampa Bay keeps pulling me back in like a bad habit that actually pays.

Nathan Eovaldi sits 10-8 with a 4.05 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 122.1 innings, racking up 130 strikeouts against just 29 walks. That works out to a 9.56 K/9, a 2.13 BB/9, and a clean 4.48 K/BB ratio. Shane McClanahan is 9-6 with a 3.09 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 96 innings, striking out 88 while allowing only 7 home runs. His numbers break down to an 8.25 K/9, 3.09 BB/9, and a home-run rate of just 0.66 per nine. Stack those two WHIPs and you get a combined 1.155. Average the ERAs and you land at 3.57. Simple arithmetic already starts leaning hard toward fewer runs.

Tropicana Field has been a run suppressor for years, and day games under that roof have a long track record of staying quiet. Eovaldi has surrendered 22 homers this season, most of them in parks that actually reward fly balls, while McClanahan’s extreme low home-run rate at home pairs perfectly with the venue. Neither guy is walking the world, and both throw enough strikes to keep the bullpens from having to invent runs. When you take a pair of sub-1.20 WHIP arms, drop them into a park that already plays under the league average, and factor in a day-game environment that historically trims scoring, the expected run total compresses fast.

I’ve watched enough of these quiet pitcher duels to know the public usually chases the louder games and leaves the under sitting there. The math here is straightforward: low free passes, limited power allowed, and a venue that hates the long ball. I’m on the under and I’m not overthinking it. Sometimes the sharpest play of the day is the one that never needs to yell.

My selection is on Connecticut plus the points over Chicago at 8 pm et on Thursday.

The Sun fell just short of the ATS cover two nights ago as they dropped a 92-84 decision in Washington. Connecticut has now dropped the cash in three straight games but I look for it to bounce back on Thursday. The Sun continue to at the very least limit the opposition's scoring opportunities, allowing 67 or fewer field goal attempts in six of their last seven contests. Chicago faces the issue of potential rust with this being its first game in over a week. The Sky did reel off three consecutive ATS victories prior to the All-Star break but two of those came as considerable underdogs and the other as a very short favorite. While the Sun have slowed opposing offenses, the Sky have been matador-like defensively, yielding more than 70 field goal attempts to the opposition in five of their last six games. We'll call for the Sun to take this one down to the wire at the very least. Take Connecticut (8*).

Marlins vs Mets MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): Miami right-hander Eury Perez (5-8, 3.56 ERA) has with a 1.80 ERA in June and a 1.73 ERA in July been one of the hottest pitchers in baseball over the last two months. He held the Mets to one run on two hits over 6 1/3 innings back in May, even before he went on the heater. Mets righty Nolan McLean (7-7, 3.32 ERA) has admittedly almost been just as hot, but the price justify a wager on the 55-54 Marlins as an underdog vs. the 46-63 Mets.

The Bet: Marlins (3%).

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the road team in this matchup. Royals LHP Noah Cameron (5-8, 4.93 ERA) has been a "Twins Killer" in limited samples, with 18 Ks over 64 at bats while holding the Twins lineup to a .203 batting average and a .227 on base percentage. The Twins have struggled against left-handed pitching all season, going 2-5 as favorites against southpaws.

3* on Nationals

PSP Data Driven 1* Red Sox.

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the favorite. The Red Sox are 7-3 in their last 10 games. The A's are 3-7 in their last 10 games.

For my best free pick on the board I am looking at the WNBA I am looking at the Connecticut Sun at the Chicago Sky. Battle of two of the worst teams in the WNBA. The Sun have been a good cover team against the Sky covering 4 of the last 5. Chicago has covered 5 straight games which should get bettors on them in a big way on Thursday. Sun missed the cover in 3 straight games so public betting sentiment should be against them here. Love the Sun to keep this within a possession.
