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.

- NY Yankees is 4-8 in its last 12 games.

- The Blue Jays are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games.

- The Blue Jays are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Verdict: The value is on the Road Underdog.

It is probably fitting that the Nationals are 25-25 given that they lead the majors in runs per game averaging 5.5, while having the worst pitching and fielding in the league. Washington gives up an average of five runs per game and has committed the most errors.

It is also why the Nationals have gone Over a staggering 68 percent of the time this year.  The Nationals are averaging eight runs per game during their last five games.

The Mets are 7-1-1 to the OVER in their last nine games. They are averaging 7.0 runs per game during this time frame.

Superstar Juan Soto is helping spark the Mets offense with five homers in his last seven games. He has been deadly against Washington, his former team, with 12 home runs and 26 RBI's in 35 career games.

The pitching matchup is David Peterson, who has been ineffective this season with a 5.40 ERA and 1.57 WHIP, against Cade Cavalli, who has a 4.05 ERA and 1.54 WHIP.

The Mets' bullpen is overworked, while Washington's relievers have the fifth highest ERA at 4.95.

I see no reason why each of these teams shouldn't score at least four runs. So I am going to ride the Over.

The NHL Comp play is on Carolina at 8 eastern. The Canes are a bit pricey here but they do apply to two nice systems. First we are looking at Round 3 or later home favorites with 8 or more days rest as these teams are perfect since 2007 and then we looked at Playoff home favorites that are the 1 seed and have home favored loss revenge in round 2 or later, Also perfect since 2004. Montreal is off a grueling 7 game series with Buffalo and cashed nice for us on the road in game 7. However the Canes have a big rest advantage and triple revenge from this season. Look for Carolina to get game one. GL Rob V-

Thursday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Tigers -115

My selection is on the 'under' between Cleveland and New York at 8 pm et on Thursday.

Game 1 of this series had no business getting 'over' the total but overtime ultimately helped it creep across the threshold. The pace certainly wasn't there for a high-scoring affair and I don't think we'll suddenly see that pace pick up in Game 2 on Thursday. Note that the Cavaliers have now been held to 36 or fewer made field goals in four of their last five and six of their last eight games. Their defensive play has kept them competitive of course as they've limited 10 straight opponents to 43 or fewer made field goals. The Knicks preferred pace is methodical as they've gotten off 85 or fewer field goal attempts in regulation time in seven of their last eight contests. No team is more locked-in defensively right now as New York has held an incredible 15 of its last 16 opponents to 40 or fewer made field goals. This total has been adjusted from Game 1 but not by enough in my opinion. Take the under (8*).

Guardians vs Tigers MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): Cleveland is riding a five-game winning streak, has won eight of its last nine games, and left-hander Joey Cantillo's )3-1, 3.40 ERA) last four starts. The Detroit Tigers are trending very much in the opposite direction with just one win in their last nine games.

The Bet: GUARDIANS (3%)
