Ricky's 1* play on CLE.

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.

- Cleveland is 5-1 in its last 6 games.

- Detroit is 1-5 in its last 6 games.

- Cleveland is 7-1 in its last 8 games when playing on the road against Detroit.

Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.

1* Free Wiseguy Play on Canadiens +102

*All picks are based on situations, trends, statistics and injuries among many other factors*

This is a FREE PLAY on the Sabres.

Dobes appears to be struggling in net for Montreal after the Game 6 meltdown, and I think that Tage Thompson and the home side will dig deep and deliver at home.

Montreal blew its opportunity in the Game 6 collapse, so I give a big nod to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in this goaltender matchup, who will benefit playing at home in this pressure-packed situation.

Great line value on a great home team; consider BUFFALO in Game 7.

Good luck, NP

Joe D comes off a 3-1 Sunday (1-0 MLB, 2-1 WNBA). Today, we go a perfect, 2-0 as I have my 66.6% MLB GRAND SLAM, along with my 1-0 WNBA SMASH. Get both and go 2-0.

Monday’s FREE WINNER: Montreal Canadiens.

Game 51.

4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST.

Canadiens.

Game 7’s are always tough to predict. But I feel the visitor here comes in strong and closes out the series, ending the season for the home team in front of their own fans. Yes, this series is deadlocked at 3-3. But Montreal has played well in Buffalo, taking two of the three meetings in this round. Going back a bit, they have taken three of the last four overall matchups on the road against the Sabres. While on paper, Buffalo possesses some better numbers. I think we’ll can all agree, the NHL playoffs are not played on paper. Getting embarrassed in Game 6 at home, 8-3, will further motivate Montreal to come out here and do what they’ve done so far in this postseason on the road, as they are 5-2 as a guest in this years playoffs. The Canadiens. Thank you.

1* Free Pick on Sun +4½

Connecticut is 0-4 with a brutal -21.9 net rating, and the market knows it.

That's exactly why +4.5 is the right number against an expansion team that's already short-handed.

The opposition case is obvious.

The Sun shoot 39% from the field, 29% from three, and turn it over on 18% of possessions.

Ugly numbers.

But this line is built on that ugly start, not on what the rosters actually look like Monday night.

Portland is the worst defensive team in the league at 119 defensive rating, and they're missing pieces.

Karlie Samuelson is out.

Kamiah Smalls is day-to-day with an ankle.

Most importantly, Carla Leite, the Fire's leading scorer at 19.5 PPG, is questionable with her own ankle issue.

For an expansion offense with no secondary scoring depth, losing Leite is a roster-killer.

Connecticut, meanwhile, is getting Brittney Griner back.

She averaged 14.5 points and 6 rebounds in her two appearances this season, and she gives the Sun a real interior anchor that's been missing.

The Sun also dropped 94 on the defending champion Aces in their last game.

The offense is trending the right way.

This line opened around Portland -3 and got pushed to -4.5 on the Sun's record and Griner's foot.

That's a market overreaction.

Griner is trending toward playing, Leite is trending toward sitting, and Portland's defense can't stop anyone regardless.

Give me the points with the team that just got its center back, against an expansion roster with three guards banged up.

I like Sun

Dave's Monday Free Play:

1* on New York Yankees -158

The Key: The New York Yankees have a big edge on the rubber tonight over the Toronto Blue Jays.  Ryan Weather is 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 8 starts for the Yankees this year with 54 strikeouts in 45 innings.  He has yielded only 5 ER in 23 2/3 innings in his last 4 starts.  Weathers held the Blue Jays to one ER in 6 1/3 innings in his lone lifetime start against them.  Patrick Corbin has been one of the worst starters in the majors.  He sports a 5.20 ERA or worse in 4 of his past 5 years.  Corbin has a 3.93 ERA thus far this year, but that's unsustainable.  He has yielded 6 ER, 2 HR and 15 base runners in 8 innings in his last 2 starts against the Yankees.  Take New York.

Rockies +132

Colorado is worth a free move. The Rockies send out Jose Quintana, who has allowed 3 runs or less in all but one outing this season. He’s stepped up for this rotation In a big way, giving them chances to win every time he takes the mount. Gore counters and prior to his last start, he had given up 16 runs across 4 starts. This is a great spot to fade him. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays.

Monday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Phillies -121

There's something satisfying about fading the big-market favorite in a divisional scrap, especially when the numbers quietly whisper that the "underdog" label might be doing some heavy lifting. Tonight in the Bronx, I'm rolling with the Toronto Blue Jays as my top underdog play. They're catching plus money in a spot that feels more even than the lines suggest, and history has a funny way of reminding us that AL East rivalries don't always read the standings.

The Jays enter this one at 21-25 overall, sitting third in the division, while the Yankees look stronger on paper at 28-19. But zoom in on the trends and you start seeing cracks. Toronto has owned a chunk of the recent head-to-head ledger , going 10-4 straight up in their last 14 meetings against New York. That's not ancient history; it's the kind of familiarity that turns "rivalry game" into something bettors can actually use.

Road underdogs in divisional matchups have been one of the more reliable edges this season across MLB. Public money loves piling onto the home favorite, especially in a marquee AL East tilt, which often leaves value dangling on the visiting side. The Jays fit that profile nicely: they've shown fight on the road even when the record doesn't sparkle, and their recent form includes splitting decisions in ways that keep games competitive.

On the mound, it's a lefty-lefty battle with Patrick Corbin (1-1, 3.93 ERA) for Toronto against Ryan Weathers (2-2, 3.00 ERA) for the Yankees. Neither guy is lighting the world on fire with strikeouts, but both keep the ball in the yard reasonably well. That points toward a game that could stay within reach rather than turning into a runaway. Toronto's road games as dogs have leaned toward unders lately, but the real story is their ability to scrap and keep things close enough for that plus-money payout to cash.

Look, the Yankees are a powerhouse when everything clicks , elite bullpen depth, big bats, and that home-field energy. But they've had their own stumbles recently, and betting against them at home in a divisional series isn't some wild contrarian move when the Jays have proven they can hang in these spots. Baseball has a way of humbling the chalk, especially on a Monday night when the spotlight isn't quite as blinding.

I'm not here chasing some perfect record; I'm here because this feels like the spot where the underdog has the ingredients to make things interesting , and profitable. The Jays at plus money in Yankee Stadium? That's the kind of bet that keeps the season from becoming to long. As always, shop around for the best number, and let's see if Toronto can remind everyone why rivalries matter more than raw standings.

My selection is on the 'under' between Montreal and Buffalo at 7:30 pm et on Monday.

We've seen consecutive high-scoring affairs between these two teams including a lopsided 8-3 result in favor of Buffalo on Saturday. I fully expect to see a more tightly-contested affair in Game 7 on Monday in Buffalo and believe this total is lower for a reason. Note that the Canadiens have posted just two 'over' streaks lasting three games or more dating back to January 22nd. Buffalo has posted just three 'over' streaks of such going back to January 19th. It's highly-unlikely we'll see another wild, loosely-played affair with so much on the line in this 'winner moves on' situation on Monday night. Take the under (8*).

RARE 4% Orioles vs Rays MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Tampa Bay Rays have been the best team in baseball since the start of May, and Shane McClanahan (4–2, 2.27 ERA) has been a driving force with 16 2/3 scoreless innings over three straight team wins. McClanahan was shelled in his last start against Baltimore, but that was back in 2023, and he looks like a completely different pitcher right now.

Orioles southpaw Trevor Rogers has an 8.44 ERA with a 1–4 team record over his last five starts, and the Rays are a stunning 11–2 against left-handed starters this season. The Orioles, meanwhile, are just 3–9 against southpaws, which makes this an especially favorable matchup for Tampa Bay’s bats.

I feel we have very strong angles here, and recommend a bigger bet size than usual for a free pick.

The Bet: RAYS (4%). 

44-28 (61%) +$13,580 for dime bettors dating back to April 26!

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the away team in this matchup. The Dodgers have responded to a four-game skid with five straight wins, and they come in riding a strong wave of momentum. Their last loss came in Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s (3–3, 3.60) most recent start, which is another reason we expect them to keep pressing to get him back in the win column as well
