Ricky's 1* play on AZ.

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 Diamondbacks  are 4-0 on their last 4 games.

- Eduardo Rodriguez is 4-1 in his last 5 starts for the Diamondbacks.

- Carson Palmquist is 0-5 in his last 5 starts.

Verdict: The value is on the road favorite.

(#909) San Diego Padres | ML | . 

German Marquez (4-2, 5.24 ERA) vs. Ryan Gusto (0-2, 4.70 ERA) . 

While neither of these two pitchers have been great this season, I believe that the Padres are hoping to stay in the playoff race. Miami can already firmly put itself in the race. However, the Padres have some work to do. Even though SDP has lost consecutive series' I expect it to come out swinging the hot bat early in this game. Ryan Gusto hasn't pitched more than 3.0 innings in the month of July yet either make this a spot where the Marlins bullpen could see a lot of work. As an underdog, give me San Diego on Friday evening.

Burns' Prediction: 6-4 Padres.

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER Astros/White Sox.

This is the opener of a three-game series.

Houston is 24-27 on the road, while Chicago is 31-17 at home.

After losing three straight at home to Baltimore, the Astros then swept the Marlins in three straight.

The White Sox enter off consecutive road series victories at Toronto and Texas.

Considering the form of these starters, I believe the "under" is worth a second look in this opening game, with the Astros handing the ball to Spencer Arrighetti, who gave up one run over five innings with six K's in an unfortunate no-decision to the Orioles in his last outing.

The home side counters with Davis Martin, who is 9-5 with a 3.31 ERA and who will be eager to return to his winning ways off a tough loss to Toronto on the weekend, allowing one run  and striking gout five over six innings.

Everything points to a "duel" here in Chicago on Friday in my opinion, consider the UNDER.

Good luck, NP

#902 ASA Free Play ON Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 (-115) over Colorado Rockies, Friday at 4:10 ET - We have been burned many times this season with our run line plays at -1.5 runs winning by 1 run so we were reluctant to put this on our premium pick card for today. However, it is indeed a great situation and should be a blowout home win which is why you are reading about it here. The Brewers Drohan has a 3.20 ERA this season and opponents are hitting just .239 against him this season. The Rockies' Sugano has surprisingly been worse on the road (5.32 ERA) than at home in hitter-friendly Coors Field. Also, opponents hit .287 against him in May and then .292 against him in June so it is not like he is heading the right direction either. Sugano was better early this season through April but has been on a fade ever since. The Rockies are 17-34 on the road this season and 19-38 when facing teams with a winning record. The Brewers are 34-19 at home and 39-25 when facing teams that do not have a winning record on the season. 49 of 63 Colorado losses by at least 2 runs this season. 47 of 64 wins for the Brewers by at least 2 runs this season. This one will be too. Lay it. ASA Free Play on MILWAUKEE -1.5 (-115)

Jack's Free Pick Friday: Cubs/Pirates OVER 8

Two of the best offenses in the National League square off in Game 1 of this series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.  The Pirates are scoring 5.3 runs per game this season with the most improved offense in baseball.  The Cubs are scoring 5.1 runs per game this season.

The Cubs have scored at least 6 runs in four of their last five games and a total of 34 runs during this stretch.  They should stay hot against Jared Jones, who is 2-1 with a 4.05 ERA in nine starts this season, including 0-0 with a 4.74 ERA in four home starts.  Jones has not enjoyed facing the Cubs, going 1-2 with a 5.24 ERA in four career starts against them while allowing 13 earned runs and 5 homers in 22 1/3 innings.

The Pirates continue to rake scoring 5 runs or more in 16 of their last 20 games overall.  They should also get to Matthew Boyd, who has posted a 4.15 ERA in 10 starts this season.  Boyd doesn't enjoy facing the Pirates, either, going 1-3 with a 6.18 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in eight career starts against them.  He is 0-2 with a 9.73 ERA and 2.41 WHIP in five career starts in Pittsburgh, allowing 22 earned runs and 49 base runners in 20 1/3 innings.

The OVER is 4-1 in the last five meetings this season between the Cubs and Pirates with 9 or more combined runs in four of them, and 13 or more runs three times.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

Jim Feist’s FREE Play of the Day is the CFL's Calgary Stampeders over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday. The Stampeders are slight road underdogs or pick at this time, but I like Calgary to win the game because it has the quarterback play and offensive firepower in this West Division game.

Calgary has a clear advantage under center with Vernon Adams Jr.. The Stampeders quarterback has thrown 17 touchdown passes without an interception to open the season. He also torched Montreal for 316 yards and three touchdowns in Week 3. Adams can make every throw and stretch the field, making Calgary dangerous anytime they have the ball.

Dru Brown will get the start at quarterback again for Winnipeg. Brown played well against Edmonton, but Zach Collaros is still on the six-game injured list with a neck injury. The Bombers won in Week 3, but Winnipeg’s offense has repeatedly settled for field goals. The unit is near the bottom of the CFL in points and cannot continue to waste red-zone trips against a Calgary team that is averaging 37.7 points per game.

Don’t forget that Calgary already knows it can play with Winnipeg. The Stampeders led late in their season opener before Montreal won 30-28 on a field goal with time expired. That game proved there is not much between these teams, but Calgary has the slight edge in this rematch because it has a revenge angle and should feel confident in its ability to move the football against the Bomber defense.

The Stampeders have dropped their last two games, but Calgary never led in either contest. The offense struggled to score early, but it came roaring back late in both games. Calgary cannot fall into another big hole against Winnipeg, but the Stampeders have too many explosive weapons to count out for all four quarters. The Bombers are on a three-game win streak, but they barely escaped winless Ottawa in Week 3. Winnipeg can beat anyone in this league, but they are not playing well enough right now to be your favorite.

With Calgary playing better quarterback, already having gone toe-to-toe with Winnipeg and holding a clear advantage in the red zone, I like the Stampeders to keep it close enough to win this game straight-up on Friday.

Friday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Cubs +111

My selection is on Toronto minus the points over B.C. at 7 pm et on Saturday.

The Argonauts have still yet to play a game at home this season with the World Cup previously taking up residence in their home stadium in Toronto. After Saturday's game they'll finally look ahead to their 'home opener' following a bye week. Needless to say, the importance of this game has been ratcheted up thanks to a three-game slide, both SU and ATS. We do know the Argos are capable of better. They opened the season with a hard-fought 37-30 loss in Montreal before delivering convincing victories in Ottawa and Saskatchewan. Save for a blowout defeat in Calgary on July 2nd, Toronto hasn't been all that far off. It has been moving the ball through the air at will and has turned it over a grand total of five times over its last four games. That's in stark contrast to the Lions, who haven't been able to get anything going offensively and have committed a whopping eight turnovers over their last three contests. The Lions have been held to fewer than 80 rushing yards in three of five games to date. Of course, they're up against it now with QB Nathan Rourke sidelined due to injury. Take Toronto (8*).

AAA Sports' Selection: Athletics/Minnesota Twins (OVER).

The Athletics will start Jacob Lopez -- After having a 7.62 earned run average in June, he's got a 6.00 earned run average in July so far.

The A's have seen the total go OVER in five of their L7 games played this season.

Minnesota will start Zebby Matthews -- Over his L3 starts in July, he has a 10.54 earned run average.

Yesterday's game stayed UNDER. But, the OVER is 57-42-5 in all games for Minnesota this season.

Eight of the L11 games played between these two teams have gone OVER the total.

We're on the OVER.

Guardians vs Rays MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): Cleveland left-hander Joey Cantillo (8-5, 3.74 ERA) gave up four runs in five innings of a 7-1 loss to Pittsburgh last time out, and have been hitting left-handers hard all season, checking in at 19-10 with a +25% ROI when facing a left-handed starter. The Rays turn to a left-hander of their own in Shane McClanahan (8-6, 3.15 ERA) who is 6-1 with an ERA of 1.88 at home on the season.

The Bet: Rays (3%).

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the home team in this matchup. The moneyline appears to be heavily influenced by RHP Logan Webb's recent stretch of struggles, but expecting him to crumble at home is a massive market overreaction. Webb (5-7, 3.87 ERA) remains a top-tier rotation anchor who commands absolute respect every time he steps onto the mound, especially in front of his home crowd at Oracle Park.

Furthermore, Webb’s career track record against the Los Angeles Angels heavily reinforces his mound advantage today. Across his previous meetings with the Angels, he has completely neutralized their lineup, surrendering just 2 earned runs while racking up 18 strikeouts over 11.2 innings of work. Angels RHP Grayson Rodriguez has struggled more than Webb, and has posted an ERA north of 8.50 over his past five starts.

PSP Data Driven 1* Over.

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the Over. The Over is The total has gone over in 3 of the Cardinals last 4 head to head meeting. The total has gone over in 3 of the Reds last 5 games.

Tijuana returns home in strong form after a statement 3-1 win over Tigres, while León arrives on the back of a 3-2 defeat. The Xolos have long been a tough out at Estadio Caliente, where the artificial surface and the demanding travel for visiting sides routinely tilt the scales in their favor.
Fresh off an explosive attacking performance in Week 1, Tijuana’s confidence is high and the attack looks sharp. León, by contrast, must clean up a leaky defense that already conceded three goals in its opener. Expect the home side to create the bulk of the scoring chances and control the tempo.
This shapes up as an entertaining contest, but the edge is clear.
Take: Club Tijuana -106
