Ricky's 1* play on CHW.

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.

- Chicago White Sox are 13-4 SU in its last 17 games at home.

- Jake Bennett has loss 3 of his last 5 starts for the Red Sox.

- Chicago White Sox are 9-6 in their last 15 games.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR WEDNESDAY, 7/8:

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 Wednesday is with the Texas Rangers with the money-line versus the Los Angeles Angels listing both starting pitchers MacKenzie Gore and Walbert Urena. Texas (46-45) snapped a two-game losing streak with an 8-3 victory against the Angels on Tuesday. The Rangers have won 5 of their last 7 games at home. Tonight will be their fifth straight game at home — and they have won 13 of their last 20 home games after playing at least three games in a row in front of their home fans. Los Angeles (35-56) has lost seven games in a row — and they have lost 35 of their last 55 games after losing their last contest. The Angels have also lost 15 of their last 21 road games when priced as a money-line underdog up to +150. Take Texas with the money-line listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.

The Los Angeles Sparks are the worst defensive team in the WNBA giving up an average of 93.6 points per game. That number goes up to 102.8 points if you count just their last five games. The Sparks also rank last in defensive field goal percentage.

So no surprise the Sparks are a big Over team. They have gone above the total in 12 of their last 17 games. I see that trend continuing here against Indiana.

Not only are the Fever leading the league in scoring at 93.5 points a game, but they play at the fastest pace. And, oh yes, All-Star guard Caitlin Clark is expected to play today after missing the past two games with a back injury.

LA plays at the third fastest tempo. The Sparks remain without their All-Star guard Kelsey Plum, but can exploit Indiana's 12th-ranked defense with their frontcourt scoring led by Dearica Hamby and Nneka Ogwumike.

 HUMP DAY HAMMER- Rob has his 2026 NATIONAL LEAGUE TOTAL OF THE YEAR Headlining along with a RARE 6* WNBA Total going late and Wimbledon Early. Comp Play below

The USL Championship Comp Play is on the Under 2.5 at 10:30 eastern. This should be a tight game here between two teams ranked 8th and 9th in the standings. Sacramento is home here and may pull out the win as they have 2 wins and a draw vs Rhode Island. These two met late last year and settled for a scoreless draw. Sacramento is better on defense here and should be tough to break down and may get a clean sheet here. Look for this game to stay under 2.5 tonight. GL Rob V-

If you've been grinding the WNBA trends like I have all afternoon, one spot jumps off the board as the clearest edge today. The Minnesota Lynx head to Connecticut for a quick rematch against the Sun, and the numbers, angles, and situational setup all scream value on Minnesota to cover the spread at -6. Here's why I'm locking this in with confidence.

Minnesota sits at 15-6 overall with a season-long point differential of +9.43 points per game, calculated simply as their 90.2 points scored minus the 80.8 they allow. They've covered the spread in 15 of 21 games this season, delivering a rock-solid 71.4% clip that shows real consistency when the number is in play. The Lynx rank second in field goal percentage at 48.2% and lead the league in rebounding at 36.7 per game, creating extra possessions and second-chance opportunities that compound into winning margins.

Connecticut enters at 5-16 with one of the league's weakest offenses, averaging just 80.0 points per game and a net differential of -6.76. While the Sun stole a 90-89 win in Minneapolis two nights ago, that result stands as a clear statistical outlier, decided by a single point in a game where Minnesota was without key guard Olivia Miles for stretches. Historical data in this series shows Minnesota winning by average margins well into double digits in prior meetings, often by 20 points or more. Regression to the mean after that outlier strongly favors a return to Minnesota's typical dominance.

The revenge factor and rest dynamics sharpen the angle further. Minnesota just absorbed that close home loss and now travels for the immediate rematch. Short-rest road games can trim a margin by 2-3 points on average based on historical travel patterns, yet even applying that conservative adjustment to Minnesota's +9.43 season differential leaves plenty of cushion above -6. Connecticut lacks the depth and efficiency to sustain success against elite defenses like Minnesota's, which ranks second league-wide.

The math reinforces it. Take Minnesota's season scoring margin of +9.43, subtract the standard fatigue adjustment, and the implied edge remains well north of the spread. Factor in their 71.4% cover rate and the Sun's season-long struggles, and this matchup tilts heavily. The broader slate has value elsewhere, but this rematch combines the largest talent gap, clearest motivation, and strongest historical trends in one spot.

I'm on the Minnesota Lynx to cover the key 6 point line . The numbers have been consistent all season, the recent result looks like noise, and the setup favors a decisive bounce-back. .

My selection is on Minnesota minus the points over Connecticut at 7:30 pm et on Wednesday.

The Sun stunned the Lynx as a double-digit underdog in Minnesota on Monday. We'll call for the Lynx to exact some swift revenge on Wednesday as the two teams meet for the second time in three nights. There's no denying these two teams are heading in opposite directions from a pointspread perspective. The Lynx have dropped the cash in four of their last five games while the Sun have reeled off four straight ATS victories. There's also no denying that Minnesota is the vastly superior team, however. The Lynx check in 15-6 on the campaign and regardless whether Olivia Miles is able to play on Wednesday or not, I look for them to make a statement off Monday's poor showing. Take Minnesota (8*).

Free Play – Take #904 Cincinnati -138 over Philadelphia (7:10 p.m. ET, Wednesday, July 8)

Cincinnati will look to its young ace in hopes of reversing it two-month swoon when they host Philadelphia on Wednesday in the second contest of a three-game series. Right-hander Chase Burns (10-1, 2.40 ERA) has emerged as a true stopper for a Cincinnati team that has lost seven of its last nine games. Burns will be making his first start since earning his first career All-Star nod last week. Not only does Burns boast a sensational record and 1.08 WHIP across 17 starts, he also has racked up 116 strikeouts while limiting opposing hitters to a .207 batting average. The Phillies have not named their starter, but Max Lazar (0-0, 4.50 ERA) is a likely candidate as an opener. No doubt Philly is better, but hard to go against Burns with the Reds 13-4 in his starts in 2026.
