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 Astros are 6-4 in their last 10 games.

- The Giants are 3-7 in their last 10 games.

- Blade Tidwell is 0-4 in his last 4 starts

Verdict: The value is on the road favorite.

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.

3* on Padres

UNDER 7.5

The Dodgers and Royals have value to the under. Tarik Skubal goes for the Dodgers and will make his 2nd start since the deadline. He runs into a familiar foe as he saw plenty of the Royals this year and throughout his career. Noah Cameron counters and he owns a 0.39 ERA over his last 3 appearances. Both pitchers are going to have a lot of success and we’ll see a lot of quick innings. Back the under. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Today's FREE selection is a strong lean on the UNDER. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Monday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Giants +138

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 over Houston at 9:45 pm et on Monday.

I think bettors are going to be chasing the Astros on Monday as they enter off consecutive losses over the weekend in San Diego. I simply feel Houston is laying too high of a price given the starting pitching matchup here as it sends Hayden Wesneski to the hill against Blade Tidwell of the Giants. There's little reason for either starter to instill a great deal of confidence, certainly not enough to warrant the lopsided price. San Francisco figures to be in a foul mood after dropping both games against Detroit on the weekend. It's been a frustrating stretch and season as a whole for San Francisco. It has actually won the series opener in each of its last two series' before dropping the rest. That's a trend I can see continuing in this series. With the Astros travelling (albeit not very far) off the Sunday nighter, we'll fade them here. Take San Francisco (8*).

Our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers to defeat the San Diego Padres on Monday at 9:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Milwaukee will start Logan Henderson who is 6-1 with a 2.70 earned run average in 10 starts this season.

The Brewers have the best overall record in baseball at 74-44 this season.

They are also 5-1 over their L6 games.

At the moment, San Diego is sitting outside of the playoff picture, just one game behind the Phillies.

The Padres will start Casey Mize who got torched in his Padre debut against AZ.

We're on the Brewers.

1* on Giants +137

Brewers vs Padres MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): San Diego righty Casey Mize (4-7, 3.40 ERA) and Milwaukee rookie Logan Henderson (6-1, 2.70 ERA) bring strong, reliable numbers into this series opener at Petco Park. Mize is no stranger to Milwaukee, sporting a solid 1-1 record with a 3.18 ERA in two prior career starts against them, and he looks to settle in after making his Padres debut last week.

Henderson meanwhile, enters off another dominant outing, picking up a 4-2 win over the visiting Pirates last Tuesday. In that start, he fanned eight over six crisp innings while allowing just four hits and two runs. This will be his first career appearance against San Diego, and his deceptive stuff should keep a disciplined Padres order in check.

Both pitching matchups and team trends point heavily toward a low-scoring grind: Milwaukee is 1-8-1 to the under in their last 10 games overall and a remarkable 21-11 to the under as road favorites this season.

The Bet: Under (3%).

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)
