FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR MONDAY, 8/10:

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 Monday is with the money-line on the Tampa Bay Rays versus the Athletics listing both starting pitchers Freddy Peralta and Jacob Lopez. Tampa Bay (71-46) has won six games in a row after their  4-1 win in Seattle against the Mariners on Sunday. The Rays have won 22 of their last 34 road games after winning their last game. They have also won 9 of their last 10 games on the road. The Athletics (47-71) have won two games in a row after their 4-3 win in Boston against the Red Sox yesterday. They have lost 17 of their last 23 home games after winning their last game. They have also lost 15 of their last 18 games at home. Take Tampa Bay with the money-line listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.

Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Phillies/Cardinals OVER 8

The Philadelphia Phillies upgraded their offense at the deadline by adding Luis Arraez who is hitting .316 this season.  They have scored at least 4 runs in 12 consecutive games.  The Phillies have gone 10-3-2 OVER in their last 15 games overall with 9 or more combined runs in 11 of those 15 games.

The Cardinals have scored at least 5 runs in five of their last eight games.  They have gone 3-0 OVER in their last three games with 11 or more combined runs in all three.  With temps in the 90's and light winds blowing out, runs should be plentiful again tonight.

Cristopher Sanchez has big home/road splits for the Phillies this season.  He is 5-3 with a 4.48 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 10 road starts, allowing 30 earned runs, 10 homers and 90 base runners in 60 1/3 innings.

Andre Pallante has been much worse at home than he has been on the road this season.  He is 5-6 with a 4.34 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 13 home starts while allowing 36 earned runs in 74 2/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

Mariners +118

Seattle is worth a move against the Yankees. The Mariners will go with Bryan Woo, who is off one of his best starts of the season. He threw 7.0 scoreless innings against the Tigers and allowed just 3 hits in the win. The Yankees will counter with Ryan Weathers, who is just 5-7 on the year. Seattle is in need of a victory and Woo has been notorious for being that stopper. Back the Mariners. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays.

1* Free Pick on Liberty +3

New York and Indiana are both 7-3 over their last 10, and this line is short because the market is pricing Indiana's recent offensive form as sustainable.

I'm not sure it is.

The Fever have posted a 121.7 offensive rating and 44% from 3 over the last 10 games.

That is unsustainable shooting variance, not a repeatable baseline.

Regression matters when you're laying points on a hot shooting number.

Liberty's star trio is intact.

Breanna Stewart at 21.3 PPG, Sabrina Ionescu at 15.7, and Jonquel Jones at 14.6 are all in the expected starting five at 100% play probability.

That's a top-tier core with a real ceiling on any night.

Caitlin Clark is listed day-to-day at 75% play probability with a lingering back issue.

Even if she suits up, back injuries sap explosiveness and 3-point range.

That's the engine of Indiana's 44% team 3-point mark.

Discount it accordingly.

The opposition case here is real.

Indiana's +11.2 net rating over the last 10 dwarfs New York's +4.8, and the Fever have the rest edge at 3 days versus 2.

I get it.

But net rating over a 10-game window with a compromised star and shooting numbers this hot is exactly the profile that gets bet down to true.

Indiana also coughs it up on 18% of possessions.

New York is a top offense that punishes turnovers.

Three points is a key number in this league.

I'll take the points with the healthier roster.

I like the Liberty

1* on Rays/A's OVER 10.5

The Key: Sutter Health Park in Sacramento is the 2nd-most hitter-friendly park in the majors behind Coors Field.  Conditions will be favorable for runs again tonight with temperatures approaching 90 and light winds blowing out. Nick Martinez is one of the biggest regression candidates in the majors and started showing signs of that by yielding 6 ER and 4 HR to the White Sox 2 starts ago.  Mason Barnett is 1-2 with a 5.56 ERA this year while yielding 21 ER and 8 HR in 34 innings.  He won't go very deep in this game which will expose this A's bullpen that now has a 7.33 ERA at home this year.  Take the OVER.

Seattle at New York Yankees 7:05 ET

Mariners over Yankees - The 27 time World Champion New York Yankees are amid their longest World Series draught in franchise history and that negative streak will go on and on and on as long as Cashman is their GM. The Yankees since George died and passed the team on to his son Hal, they no longer have pride in winning, as long a the bottom line shows a profit. He do not have the capabilities of assembling a balanced championship team. New York has so many holes at the plate and on defense they can strain pasta. They haven’t been able to field a championship team under CASHman and never will. They are now just a business commodity seeking the bottom line and not championships. Take SEATTLE!

Tuesday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Braves -124

The Packers roll into Pittsburgh Thursday night for the first full preseason game of the year, and the total is sitting right in that familiar 36.5 to 37.5 window. I’m on the under, and the deeper you dig into the league-wide and team numbers the more it feels like the right side of the math.

League-wide, the 37 threshold has been a reliable separator for years. Closing totals of 37 or higher have gone under at a 56.4 percent clip since 2010, a sample that runs well over 900 games. Since 2014 the under on those 37-plus numbers is even cleaner at 60.7 percent, returning solid units at standard pricing. The reverse holds too. When the number opens at 37 or lower the over hits closer to 59 or 60 percent. This matchup is perched right on the line, but the historical lean still favors the lower side once you account for how little the real starters play these days. Last year only 9.8 percent of preseason pass attempts came from quarterbacks who ended up starting Week 1. That is a sharp drop from the 30-plus percent range we saw a decade ago, and it means more backup-driven football, more conservative play-calling, and fewer explosive finishes.

The Steelers themselves have been a quiet under machine at home in the exhibition season. From 2002 through 2025 Pittsburgh as the home team went under in 67.4 percent of its preseason games, a 14-29-2 record that has produced double-digit units over the long haul. That is not a small-sample fluke. It lines up with the physical, run-heavy identity the organization has carried for years, even when the first-team defense sits most of the night. Green Bay has not been as extreme, but the Packers still play a brand of football that keeps games from turning into track meets, especially on the road in August.

Add the outdoor night setting in western Pennsylvania and the picture gets clearer. Early-season humidity and potential weather keep the ball on the ground more than the public expects. Combined scores in Week 1 preseason games have historically averaged just under 39 points against posted numbers that often sit in the mid-to-high 30s. When you stack the league-wide 56-to-60 percent under rate on 37-plus totals with Pittsburgh’s strong home under history, the edge starts looking real. At -110 a 56 percent hit rate over a 100-game sample nets you positive return after the juice. A 60 percent clip turns it into a steady grind that keeps bankrolls healthy over time.

There is the Rodgers-McCarthy reunion angle, and yes, the veteran may take 30 or 40 snaps against his old club. Even if he does, the majority of the game still belongs to the second and third units still working through timing and communication. Those groups rarely light up the scoreboard in Week 1. I like this under. It matches the long-term numbers, the team-specific home trend, and the reality of limited starter volume. Keep the stake sensible, enjoy the nostalgia, and let the points stay low.

My selection is on San Francisco plus the points over Tennessee at 9 pm et on Thursday.

The injury bug has hit the 49ers again this training camp and it has many bettors shying away from them as they host the Titans in their preseason opener on Thursday. I think this line has gone too far in Tennessee's direction. I understand the support for the Titans here in August as they do have a strong preseason quarterback rotation with experienced backups in Mitchell Trubisky, Will Levis and even Hendon Hooker who has made a splash in the preseason in prior years. With that being said, San Francisco has plenty of upside at the position behind Brock Purdy as well with Mac Jones firmly planted as the backup but Kurtis Rourke and Adrian Martinez capable of making some preseason noise. I just don't see enough of a depth advantage for a rebuilding Tennessee team to warrant it laying a field goal on the road in its first preseason contest. Both teams went 2-1 last August but dropped their respective preseason openers. It's worth noting the 49ers faced the tougher opening matchup against a deep Broncos team that has taken the preseason seriously under head coach Sean Payton. Take San Francisco (8*).

Our selection is on the Arizona Diamondbacks to defeat the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday at 9:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Colorado will start Tomoyuki Sugano who has actually been decent. But, it's the team that's not provided him with enough help.

The Rockies are just 19-41 in road games now after being shut out in yesterday's ball game.

Arizona will start Mitch Bratt -- he pitched lights out against SDP in his last start going seven innings and allowing zero runs.

The Diamondbacks would be in the playoffs if it started today and they look to keep it up over the remainder of the year.

The play is on Arizona.

1* on Mystics +6½

Royals vs Dodgers MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): Expect another explosive, high-scoring contest at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals meet for Game 2 following Monday's wild 6-5 Dodgers victory. With both starting pitchers facing major red flags and two relief corps showing noticeable strain lately, the offense should stay in high gear.

The Royals send veteran right-hander Michael Wacha (5-8, 3.44 ERA) to the mound. While his overall season numbers look respectable, Wacha has historically struggled against this Los Angeles order, surrendering seven, six, and seven runs over his last three career starts facing the Dodgers.

The Dodgers counter with left-hander Blake Snell (0-1, 12.00 ERA), who makes his long-awaited return to the rotation following a long absence due to elbow surgery. Snell has looked far from sharp, having allowed four runs in one start before landing on the shelf, and he will likely be on a limited pitch count in his first start back. Expect both lineups to generate early traffic and capitalize on tired bullpens late. Gimme the over.

The Bet: Over (3%).

PSP Data Driven 1* Guardians +1.5

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 Underdog.The Guardians are 8-1 ATS in the last 9 head to head meetings. Drew Anderson has loss 4 of his last 5 starts.

Sam Burns vs. Xander Schauffele

Both players sit among the top contenders this week, but Burns combination of current form, course fit, and putting edge makes him the play.

Sam Burns has been the hottest player on Tour over the last month:

3rd at The Open Championship

2nd at the U.S. Open

T4 at the Memorial

T20 at the Canadian Open

T12 at Travelers

Five straight finishes between 2nd and 20th, with major contention, elite putting, and noticeably improved iron play. He skipped the week after the Open and arrives rested.

Burns history in this event adds to the case: runner-up in 2021, 5th in 2024, and a track record of solid finishes here. As a Louisiana native, he's grown up on Bermuda greens — a real edge on this surface.

Xander Schauffele is still chasing his first win of 2026, but the underlying form has picked up:

2nd at the Rocket Classic (his best finish of the season, strong tee-to-green)

T7 at the PGA Championship

T9 at the Masters

T11 at the U.S. Open

T18 at The Open

There have been rougher weeks mixed in (MC at the Scottish Open, T51 at Travelers), but the Rocket runner-up was a genuinely high-quality performance that should carry some momentum into the playoffs. His own history here is solid too — a runner-up finish in 2024 and a prior top-6.

Key statistical edges:

Par-4 scoring is critical on this layout, and Burns has ranked near the top of the Tour in this metric recently — as high as 2nd.

Putting favors Burns clearly; he's typically elite with the flat stick, which plays up on Bermuda.

Ball-striking/tee-to-green favors Schauffele, who generally holds the historical edge and reinforced it at Detroit.

Both players handle pressure and limited-field events well, and neither is a pure bomber — a good fit for a water-laden, accuracy-focused setup.

The Play: Sam Burns at the current price, on the strength of superior recent results, Bermuda expertise, and course history.

Take: Sam Burns over Xander Schauffele (+105)

Let's cash some tickets!

For my best free pick on the board for Tuesday in WNBA action I am looking at the Phoenix Mercury at the LA Sparks. Mercury off 3 straight losses and non covers while the Sparks have been cashing for bettors in 4 of the last 5 games and 7 of the last 10 overall. These teams have identical records yet the road Mercury at the time of recording this are slight favorites and that is still a great deal. Mercury had a horrible first half of the season and I expect a big turnaround from this team in the 2nd half.

Play on the Phoenix Mercury lay the points rotation #641
