Ricky's 1* play on Under.

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 Under is 4-1 in Denver's last 5 games against Minnesota.

- The Under is 4-1 in Minnesota's last 5 games against an opponent in the Northwest Division.

- The Under is  3-1 in Denver's last 4 games.

Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.

Talk about a contrast in ballparks. The Padres just played two games against the Diamondbacks in Mexico City after playing three games in Denver at Coors Field. The games at Mexico City had a much higher elevation than the ones in Denver. The total for the two games in Mexico City were 14 1/2 and 16.

Now the Padres return home for the first time in 11 days to play at Petco Park, which is the toughest hitter's venue in the National League.

I think going from the best hitting sites to the worst messes up San Diego's hitters. So I am on the Cubs.

Even playing two games in Mexico City, the Padres rank 14th in runs, 18th in batting average and 24th in homers. The Cubs have scored the fourth-most runs, are third in batting average and fifth in homers.

San Diego faces crafty, veteran lefty Matthew Boyd, who was 14-8 with a 3.21 ERA and 1.09 WHIP last season. Boyd has pitched only 14 innings this season having been sidelined by a left biceps strain.

Padres starter Randy Vásquez is 2-0 with a 1.88 ERA. Expect regression from Vasquez, who has compiled ERA's of 3.84 and 4.87 during the previous two seasons.

Toronto is worth a free move on Monday. Dylan Cease was pushed back an extra day and will now take on the Red Sox here. Cease has allowed 2 runs or less in all his starts as he’s been able to really avoid any sort of big inning. Ranger Suarez counters with a 4.00 ERA and was knocked around by the Yankees last time out. Toronto is playing much better and they have the pitching edge.

Monday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Red Sox +124

On most nights the Angels and White Sox feel like two teams that forgot where the scoreboard is. Both clubs are scraping the bottom of the barrel in runs scored per game this season, the kind of anemic offenses that make you wonder if the bats are on strike. But throw a shaky starting pitching matchup into the mix at Guaranteed Rate Field and suddenly these cellar-dwellers have a funny way of turning into a run festival. That’s exactly why I’m betting the Over 9 in this Monday night showdown.

The key angle here is a classic “bad pitching meets bad-but-opportunistic hitting” spot. Jack Kochanowicz has been a steady hand for the Angels in his limited looks, sitting around a 3.10 ERA, but he’s still finding his rhythm at the big-league level. On the flip side, Anthony Kay has been serving up runs like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet, his 5.57 ERA tells the story of a guy who’s been getting hit hard and often. Chicago’s offense may not be world-beaters overall, but when they face a pitcher who hasn’t exactly been lights-out, they find a way to put a few crooked numbers on the board. We’ve seen it play out in recent White Sox games: weak starters on the mound have triggered overs in a bunch of their contests lately, even when the team itself looks punchless on paper.

Add in the park factor and the trend gets even juicier. Guaranteed Rate Field isn’t some launch pad, sure, but it’s also not the kind of pitcher-friendly dungeon that kills rallies dead. It plays pretty fair for both sides, especially when the starters are giving hitters extra pitches to work with. Historically, games featuring starters with ERAs north of 5.00 in Chicago have leaned toward the over more often than not in recent seasons, nothing fancy, just a repeatable pattern when one guy is leaking oil and the other team is desperate for any kind of spark.

What really makes this stand out on tonight’s slate is the rest of the games are loaded with aces and low totals. You’ve got matchups with sub-2.00 ERAs and 7-7.5 lines in pitcher’s paradises where the under is basically screaming at you. This one feels like the lone high-total invitation on the board, the spot where the baseball gods are practically daring you to expect offense. Two low-scoring teams, one generous starter, and a park that won’t get in the way? That’s the kind of contrarian overs angle I live for, especially when everyone else is chasing unders in the “real” pitching battles.

Bottom line, baseball has a sick sense of humor sometimes. The teams that can’t score suddenly remember how when the guy on the mound is grooving fastballs. With that said Im recommending riding the Over 9 and hoping for a nice old-fashioned slugfest. Please shop for best lines if possible, and may the baseball gods bless us with a few extra innings of chaos if need be.

My selection is on Philadelphia over Pittsburgh at 7 pm et on Monday.

It was highly unlikely the Flyers were going to sweep this series - at least prior to the puck dropping in Game 1. It was far more probable leading into Game 4 on Saturday as Philadelphia had a chance to close out Pittsburgh on home ice. The Flyers came out flat, however, and will now try again to wrap up the series on Monday in Pittsburgh. I think they're well-positioned to do just that after taking each of the first two games in the Steel City and having gone 25-18 while outscoring opponents by an average margin of 0.3 goals on the road this season. You would have to go back to April 5th against Florida to find the last time the Penguins won a home game, dropping three in a row here since. Of note, the Pens have put together just three winning streaks going back to February 28th. The Flyers have lost consecutive games just once since February 26th, that coming on March 31st and April 2nd when they lost two in a row. Despite the poor performance on Saturday, I still think Philadelphia has advantages all over the ice and look for it to close out this series in enemy territory on Monday. Take Philadelphia (8*).

Cardinals vs Pirates MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Pittsburgh Pirates got shut out yesterday, but I like their bounce-back chances against right-hander Dustin May who is 3-2 with a 5.84 ERA in his first season in a Cardinals uniform. He has admittedly looked a bit sharper in recent games, but has still allowed plenty of traffic on the bases, and the Pirates have been productive at home at PNC Park (8-5 to the over). The Pirates will counter with a bullpen game, and although their bullpen has been posting solid numbers, things can get ugly fast.

The Bet: OVER (3%). 

Magiic Mike "Moneymaker" Lundin is coming off a 4-1 Sunday (3-1 premium picks, 1-0 free picks), and he's back in action with MLB, NBA and soccer picks for Monday! Grab a 1-day pass and you can confidently re-invest the profits for a bigger package. 

#902 ASA MLB FREE PLAY ON Pittsburgh Pirates (-125) over St Louis Cardinals, Monday @ 6:40 ET - The Cardinals have lost 4 straight games. St Louis will have May on the mound in this one and the right-hander has a 5.84 ERA on the season. The Pirates have been the stronger team early this season plus they are at home. The Pirates are going with a bullpen game here but it is not a problem as their bullpen has been one of the best in the majors this season while the Cardinals bullpen ERA ranks among the worst in the majors this season. St Louis is hitting only .223 on the road this season while the Pirates are hitting .275 at home this season and we like the value with the rather low money line available on this one. FREE PLAY on Pittsburgh -125

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the under in this matchup. Padres RHP Randy Vasquez (2-0, 1.88) has had a fast start to the year and tonight he'll take on a Cubs team that was shut out Sunday. Vasquez owns a 2.57 ERA in three career starts against the Cubs who hand the ball to LHP Matthew Boyd (1-1, 5.79), who pitched to a 1.59 ERA in two starts against the Padres last season.

 This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER!
