Ricky's 1* play on Over.

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 Over is 4-1 in Washington's last 5 games.

- The Over is 6-3 in Indiana's last 9 games when playing Washington.

- The Over is 3-0 in Washington's last 3 home games.

Verdict: We should see plenty of Points in this game.

1* Free Pick on Blue Jays +159

Don't give up on the Spurs yet. They very well could be up 2-0 in this NBA Finals rather than down 0-2.

The best player on the court is not Karl-Anthony Towns nor Jalen Brunson. It is Victor Wembanyama and he is more than capable of playing much better than he has shown so far in this championship series.

San Antonio also has a secret weapon. More on that later.

Much is being made of the Knicks' 13 straight playoff victories. That is the second-longest streak by any team in NBA playoff history. Note that 11 of those victories came against the Cavaliers, 76ers and Hawks. The Spurs have their own impressive streak - 13-2 SU and ATS in their next game following a loss since January.

The Spurs had a 14-point second-half lead in Game 1 against New York. Not nearly as well rested as the Knicks, the Spurs missed many shots they normally hit and ended up blowing the game.

San Antonio led New York with less than a minute left in Game 2. The Spurs ended up losing by one point when Wembanyama made an unforced error that led to a turnover and then compounded his poor decision with a foul. Then Wembanyama, who shot 51.2 percent from the floor during the regular season, missed a makeable jumper in the final seconds.

This is what Wembanyama said after the game: "I threw that one away. I messed up. We didn’t play great as a team. We needed to win that game. This game was ours. But at this point, it’s done. “Am I going to regret it? Yes, of course. Am I going to use that to fuel me and to fuel me and fuel us next game? Absolutely.”

I believe him. I regard Wembanyama as the most complete basketball player in the world, none better.

Now for San Antonio's secret weapon.

Well, actually, it's not such a secret that President Donald Trump is going to attend this Game 3.

The Knicks' have all the momentum, enthusiasm and joy going their way now. Trump, with all his baggage and controversial presence, is going to prove a huge distraction if not steal the spotlight.

Those attending the game at Madison Square Garden are being asked to arrive at least 2 hours before tip off because of TSA-screening procedures and security. The Secret Service also announced fans cannot bring bags into the arena.

Some are saying the Spurs are not yet ready to win an NBA championship, too young and inexperienced in pressure packed deep playoff games like this one. This calls for a reminder that the Knicks have not won an NBA championship in 53 years. They have not hosted an NBA Finals game in 27 years.

All the pressure is on the Knicks and Trump's divisive presence in the heart of the deeply blue state of New York could make things worse.

So I am on the Spurs.

Monday Rob Releases his one and only 7* NBA Playoff GAME OF THE YEAR along with MLB and WNBA. Soccer comp play below.

The Monday Comp play is on the Under 3.5 goals in the Northern Ireland vs France match at 2.45 eastern. France is expected to win here by between 2-3 goals as they are heavily favored and have much more quality and depth. This is a big litmus test here for a Northern Ireland team that has struggled on the road and will concentrate mostly on slowing down a high powered France offense.  France is the #1 ranked team heading into the Cup and comes off a loss to Ivory Coast 2-1. With this fixture the Final tuneup we will likely see France bag a few goals and look to shore up the defense and its very likely they hold a clean sheet here. Northern Ireland is a young Squad and while they played well in group stage this will be a very tough match for them. Look for this game to stay under today. GL Rob V-

Monday’s FREE WINNER: Seattle Mariners.

Game 905.

3:35 PM PST/6:35 PM EST.

As of posting this release, the unofficial starter for the Baltimore Orioles will be Chris Bassitt. This is not yet confirmed (check status). But it looks to be like it will be him. Very honestly, even if he does not start, I still like the visiting team against any starter the home team sends to the bump. The Orioles are a big disappointment this season, sitting in fourth place in the American League East, at 31-35. Granted they are a little bit better at home than they are on the road. However, this team is struggling behind a very bad pitching staff. They rank 24th, with a team ERA of 4.58. Just over the last 10 outings, in which they split out with five wins and five losses, their pitching staff has yielded a whopping 45 runs scored. Meanwhile, the Mariners enter this matchup sitting atop the American League West at 34-32. With a combination of a surging lineup and the fifth-ranked pitching staff in baseball, this team is starting to find their legs. They are sending Emerson Hancock to the hill today. The right-hander is 4-2 with a 2.8 0 ERA on the campaign, and has yielded three runs or less in 11 of his 12 starts in 2026. Yes, over the last few years, Baltimore has had their way with Seattle. But let’s be honest, this is not the same Orioles team that we have seen in recent seasons. I feel the Mariners will come in here strong, with no matter what, a more reliable starter on the mound. Take Seattle. Thank you.

Monday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Phillies/Blue Jays UNDER 7.5

My selection is on the 'under' between San Antonio and New York at 8:30 pm et on Monday.

A lot of bettors are anticipating a reversal of course as far as the total goes in this series with the scene shifting to New York for Game 3. As I've said from the start of this series, the Knicks prefer to run a slow, methodical offense and I don't think that's going to change now that they're up 2-0 in the series heading home. The pace hasn't been there to indicate we're likely to see a sudden uptick in scoring in Game 3. Off consecutive 'under' results, it's worth noting that the Spurs have delivered three different 'under' streaks lasting three games going back to March 1st. Meanwhile, the Knicks have posted four different 'under' streaks lasting at least three games going back to February 21st. We will see an 'over' result at some point in this series but I'm not convinced it will be in Game 3. Take the under (8*).

Phillies vs Blue Jays MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): The Philadelphia Phillies are on a 5–1 run and have covered the run line in each of their last three wins. The Toronto Blue Jays are coming off back-to-back home wins over Baltimore, but they closed both games as favorites and are only 2–4 as home underdogs. Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez (7–2, 1.46 ERA) has been electric, and Sánchez is 3–0 with a 2.00 ERA in four career starts against Toronto. I like the Phillies to win big over a Blue Jays team handing the ball to Patrick Corbin (2–2, 3.98 ERA), who is 6–11 with a 4.83 ERA in 23 starts against the Phillies.

The Bet: PHILLIES -1½ (3%). 

100% PERFECT 4-0 RUN with 5% MONEYLINE MAX BETS and SIZZLING 5-1 (83%) RUN with top-rated (4-5%) MLB moneylines! Mike has a 5% MLB MONEYLINE MAX locked in for Monday.

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the over in this matchup. The Orioles have been swinging the bats well, scoring 8, 13, 4 and 4 runs over their last four games, yet they still dropped their last two contests by identical 6–4 scores in Toronto. We could see a similar script tonight: plenty of offensive production, but not enough pitching to keep the total in check with Chris Bassitt (4–4, 5.27 ERA) showing a massive drop-off from his peak seasons and carrying an ERA north of 5.50 so far in 2026.

This is a FREE PLAY on the OVER!
