1* Bet on Portland Fire +3½

Ricky's 1* play on WPG.

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.

- Ottawa are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games.

- Ottawa are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 road games.

- Winnipeg are 4-0 in the last 4 head to head meetings.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

The Rockies have the worst road record in the National League at 48-73. That includes an NL-worst 21-41 road record.

The Giants are 22-40 on the road, but a far more respectable 28-31 at home. I find this price low enough to back San Francisco, especially with the Rockies pitching Kyle Freeland.

Freeland has actually been worse on the road than when pitching at Coors Field. He is 0-7 with a 7.81 away ERA.

The Giants have not allowed more than three earned runs in four of their last six games. They are starting Landen Roupp. He is far from special, but he has a 4.00 home ERA and gave up one run to the Tigers at home in his last start spanning 5 1/3 innings.

Roupp is superior to Freeland and the Giants have the better bullpen.

(Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 22-10-1 on his last 33 baseball premium plays and has a Friday Big Ticket in addition to this free selection.)

The WNBA Comp play for Friday is on the Under in the Portland at Seattle game at 10 eastern. Rob notes that home favorites like Seattle that have same season triple loss revenge are perfect to the under if the total is higher than 165. In the three games 2 have stayed under. Portland comes in off 5 straight home games and dogs in this role that are under.500 where the total is 160 or more are 9 of 12 to the under. Look for this one to stay under the total- GL Rob V

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take #209810 Atlanta over New York Red Bulls (7:30 p.m. EST, Saturday August 15) We think this is a great spot for Atlanta. They have not been playing their best lately but this will be a homecoming for them as they have not played a home match since May 9, before the World Cup. Even though they lost last time out, we liked what we saw from them at Philly. They were up by two goals most of the match vs the Union but they were a man down and Philadelphia scored two goals in extra time to steal three points. As we stated, Atlanta has not played at home in a long time and we think this return will give them an extra burst of energy and it’s not like the Red Bulls are a great side. They are quite far above Atlanta in the standings but have a -10 goal differential compared to -14 for Atlanta, who have faced a real tough schedule on this road trip. It’s telling that Atlanta is a decent favorite here with their recent performances, and we think this is an amazing spot for them to pick up three points and some momentum for the second half of the season in front of the home fans.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR FRIDAY, 8/14:

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 Friday is with the Texas Rangers with the money-line versus the Athletics listing both starting pitchers Kumar Rocker and Gage Jump. Texas (60-62) has lost three games in a row after their 7-0 loss on the road in Los Angeles against the Angels on Thursday. The Rangers have won 8 of their last 12 games after allowing six or more runs in their last game. They have also won 16 of their last 26 games against teams with a losing record. The Athletics (47-74) have also lost three games in a row after their 7-4 loss at home against Tampa Bay on Wednesday. They stay at home where they have lost 14 of their last 17 games. They have also lost 17 of their last 25 home games against teams with a winning record. Take Texas with the money-line listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.
