Ricky's 1* play on ATL.

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.

- Atlanta is 6-2 in its last 8 games at home.

- Atlanta is 6-1 in its last 7 games against an opponent in the National League.

- Atlanta is 12-5 in its last 17 games.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

Play on: UNDER 6½ -120
Game Analysis

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER Sabres/Canadiens.

Pivotal Game 4 for each team.

Buffalo, though, interestingly has seen the total go UNDER the number in four of its last five in trying to avenge a road loss as an underdog vs. an opponent.

Look for a tight and competitive battle to be a lower-scoring one, finally.

Consider the UNDER in Game 4.

Good luck, NP

MLB | Marlins vs Twins
Play on: Marlins +1½ -195 at circa
Game Analysis

Tuesday's Free Pick: Marlins +1.5 (-195)

We are heading to Minneapolis where the Twins are dealing with a massive injury bug on the mound. Taking the Marlins and the run line here offers the right kind of protection in what looks like a tight battle.

Eury Pérez takes the hill for Miami. His 5.01 ERA is a bit inflated, and while his recent performance has been inconsistent, his underlying metrics suggest he still possesses high-level stuff. He is striking out over a batter per inning and keeps the Marlins competitive. While he has taken the loss in each of his last three starts, he remains a high-ceiling arm capable of keeping hitters off balance.

Minnesota is hurting right now. Their injury list looks like a hospital ward for arms. Losing Pablo López and Taj Bradley is a massive blow to their rotation depth. They also have five other pitchers on the IL, including key relief arms like Cole Sands and Cody Laweryson.

Bailey Ober has been the more stable starter this season with a 4.19 ERA. However, he is coming off a rough outing where he surrendered five earned runs in just five innings against the Nationals. With the Twins' bullpen as thin as it is, Ober is under immense pressure to go deep. If he struggles early, Minnesota does not have the healthy arms to bridge the gap effectively.

The weather is another factor to watch at Target Field. We are looking at breezy conditions with winds blowing out toward the gaps. In a high-wind environment with a depleted pitching staff, things can get volatile quickly. I want the extra 1.5 runs in my pocket to protect against a late-inning bullpen collapse from a tired Twins staff.

Miami has played a lot of close games lately. Even though Pérez has struggled to find the win column recently, the Marlins have the talent to keep this within a single run or win it outright against a Minnesota team that is missing too many key pieces on the mound.

Bet Marlins +1.5 (-195).

NHL | Sabres vs Canadiens
Play on: Sabres +123 at circa
Game Analysis

My selection is on Buffalo over Montreal at 7 pm et on Tuesday.

The Canadiens have taken consecutive games to secure control of this series, up 2-1 heading into Game 4 on Tuesday. This isn't a 'must-win' for the Sabres but it's close as they can ill afford to dig themselves a 3-1 hole against a team as good as the Canadiens. The good news is, Buffalo is still a solid 27-18 on the road this season, where it has outscored opponents by an average margin of 0.5 goals. Buffalo has dropped more than two games in a row just once dating back to December 9th. The Canadiens current two-game winning streak marks their longest such streak of the playoffs to date. They've notched more than two straight victories just once since March 14th, that coming during an extended eight-game winning streak that stretched from March 21st to April 4th. I certainly feel that the Sabres are a better team than they've shown over the last two games, and look for them to rebound in enemy territory on Tuesday. Take Buffalo (8*).

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the underdog in this matchup. Brandon Sproat (0-2, 5.87) is coming off four shutout innings of one-hit ball with five strikeouts, but that followed two starts where he was tagged for seven runs combined and he still carries a 5.87 ERA and 1.53 WHIP on the season. At home he’s yet to find a groove, and with the Padres a profitable road underdog (5-3) so far, we're taking a gamble on them to deliver as a dog on the road again.

This is a FREE PLAY on the PADRES!
