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 Royals are 1-3 in their last 4 games.

- The Royals are 3-5 in their last 8 road games.

- The Rockies are 3-1 in the last 4 head to head meetings.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Recommended Bet: Sporting KC +238

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER Red Sox/Dodgers.

Yesterday's series-opener flew well OVER the posted number in the Red Sox' 9-4 win, but I'm expecting much more of a duel here on Saturday with two quality starters going head-to-head.

Boston looks to keep the momentum rolling by handing the ball to Payton Tolle (6-6, 3.32 ERA), who is coming off a win on Monday, giving up two runs and a walk while striking out seven over six inning vs. the A's.

He'll be opposed by Yoshinobu Yamamoto (11-6, 2.72 ERA), who gave up one run and three walks while striking out five over six innings in a victory over the Mets in his last trip to the hill.

Considering the form of these starters, I believe that runs will be at a premium tonight; consider the UNDER.

Good luck, NP

The Kansas City Royals already had one of the worst offenses in the majors even when they were healthy.  Now that they are without their two best hitters among others they are the worst offense.  They have been held to 5 runs or less in 12 consecutive games.  They have gone 7-0-1 UNDER In their last eight games.  They have gone for 9 or fewer combined runs in 11 consecutive games.  Luinder Avila is 3-0 with a 3.12 ERA on the road this season giving up only 15 earned runs and 3 home runs in 43 1/3 innings.  Ryan Feltner is one of the rare Rockies who has pitched better at home than he has on the road.  He has a 1.31 WHIP in nine home starts.  Feltner gave up one earned run in 7 innings in his last start against the Royals last season.  Give me the UNDER.

The Saturday CFL Comp play is on Saskatchewan at 7 eastern. The Roughriders are a small favorite here and have home loss revenge for a close loss to Edmonton as this is a right back revenge game Rob notes that road teams off a home favored loss against the same team have covered the only 2 times this has occurred if the total is 54 or higher and the first game went over the total. The Riders have won 4 of 5 as a road favorite with home favored loss revenge. The Elks have lost 5 of 6 as a home dog vs a team with home favored loss revenge. Look for Saskatchewan to take this one.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take #209909 San Diego over Minnesota (8:30 p.m. EST, Saturday August 1) We hit a +200 underdog on Orlando in MLS with our free soccer pick last week, and let’s do it again this week. Both sides have struggled this season, but San Diego looks like they are turning their season around and they have a chance to jump Minnesota in the standings with three points here. We think San Diego is the better side, and they should be motivated here. They won their lone visit to Minnesota, 4-2, in their short franchise history. We think they can do it again. They are coming off a 1-0 home win over Dallas. In their inaugural season last year they played well on the road at this point of the season and cashed many plus-money tickets in similar situations. Minnesota is on a six-match winless streak, and they have won just one of their last nine. They have five outright losses during that span. They have just three goals in their last five matches, while San Diego has 11 in the same span. San Diego will be aggressive here and we don’t think the Minnesota offense can match them. Great value here, and the road side has a great chance to steal three points for a massive payout.

Saturday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Yankees -102

Looking at the full MLB rotational schedule today, one totals spot keeps pulling me back like a bad habit I actually enjoy. The Yankees and Cubs sit at a 6.5 total with Max Fried taking the ball against David Peterson at Wrigley Field, and every angle I check keeps pointing the same way.

Fried enters at 4-3 with a 3.23 ERA and a sharp 1.02 WHIP across 69.2 innings. He has limited hard contact all season, posting a career 1.76 ERA over seven starts against the Cubs while holding them to a .198 batting average in those outings. Peterson sits at 6-7 with a 5.80 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP. That gap shows up clearly when you run the basic expected runs math: take each pitcher’s ERA, multiply by projected innings, divide by nine, then add them together. Fried’s side lands near 2.4 runs and Peterson’s near 3.6, putting the combined total around 5.8 to 6.2 before park or weather even enter the picture. Yesterday’s 2-0 Yankees win already proved how quiet these lineups can go when a command lefty is on the hill.

Recent trends lean heavily under. The Yankees have hit just .191 as a team over their last ten games and have gone under the total in six of their last seven interleague road games as a favorite. Their road OPS sits at .612 in that stretch while averaging only 3.1 runs per game. The Cubs have scored five or more runs in just three of their previous eight home games against quality left-handed starters, and their team batting average drops to .224 against lefties overall this season. Wrigley’s wind is forecasted to blow straight in with a real chance of rain, conditions that have historically cut 0.7 to 0.9 runs off the total when temperatures sit in the low 70s. The park’s season-long run factor sits just under 1.00 in similar weather windows, which makes the posted 6.5 look even softer.

I keep coming back to the same notepad equation: expected total equals Yankees recent runs per game times 0.92 plus Cubs recent runs per game times 0.88 plus a pitcher differential of negative 1.4. Plug in the last-ten-game scoring rates and the number lands right around 5.9 to 6.3. Fried has worked at least five innings in eleven of his twelve starts this year, which keeps the bullpen from turning a quiet game into late chaos. Peterson’s walk rate sits above 3.5 per nine innings, often forcing the Cubs to play from behind, and trailing teams at Wrigley in wet, wind-in conditions rarely put up crooked numbers. There is some light humor in watching two contending clubs scrap over a total this low. It feels like two heavyweights who both showed up without their power punches.

Still, I care about these spots because the numbers line up cleanly. The historical under rate in Fried starts against pitchers with a sub-5.00 ERA sits north of 60 percent when the total opens under 7.0, and the Yankees have held opponents under four runs in eight of Fried’s twelve outings. The rest of the slate has its own stories, Gilbert in Seattle, Yamamoto in Los Angeles, Sánchez in Baltimore, but none carry the same mix of starter disparity, recent scoring drought, and weather suppression. So the play is Under 6.5 on the Yankees-Cubs game. It is not flashy, but the math, the trends, and the conditions all lean the same way. Bankroll management still rules, of course, yet this is the totals ticket I would write first if I only had one.

My selection is on the 'over' between Arizona and Cleveland at 7:15 pm et on Saturday.

We saw a low-scoring Diamondbacks victory to open this series last night. The knee-jerk reaction from most bettors will probably be to back the 'under' again with the Guardians handing the ball to their emerging ace Parker Messick. We'll go the other way, however, as I believe this total will prove too low. The D'Backs have a right-handed heavy lineup that can give opposing lefties trouble. Meanwhile, the Guardians will look to bounce back in a game that will be dictated by the performance of an inconsistent D'Backs bullpen with rookie Kohl Drake getting the start and likely working on a short leash. A 5-4 result either way is well within the realm of possibility here. Take the over (8*).

Magic Mike's Yankees vs Cubs MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): The New York Yankees are 6-4 straight up, but 7-3 to the under in their last 10 games, as they with several big bats on the IL have had to rely on their pitching rather than hitting. Max Fried (4-3, 3.23 ERA) typically always brings the heat, even though admittedly his last few outings have been shaky.

Cubs southpaw David Peterson (6-7, 5.80 ERA) has had a disappointing year, but has looked a lot sharper in recent starts, with just three runs allowed over 16 2/3 innings of work. With the Yankees banged up, and 24-18 (57%) to the under against left-handed starters, and the wind expected to work in our favor - gimme the under.

The Bet: Under (3%). 

The results don’t lie: 57-34 (63%) MLB RUNLINE HEATER dating back to March 27, 2025! +$22,150 on $1,000/game bets.

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the home team in this matchup. The moneyline is heavily inflated following Detroit’s explosive 13-1 blowout victory Friday, but expecting the Tigers to maintain that offensive output is a classic market overreaction.

The public is also heavily backing Detroit due to LHP Framber Valdez (5-7, 4.53 ERA) taking the mound, but Valdez has shown clear signs of vulnerability and inconsistency that a hungry Oakland order can exploit. Meanwhile, bookmakers have discounted Oakland due to RHP Jack Perkins (2-6, 6.45 ERA), carrying an ugly 1-9 team record over his last 10 starts.

With the market placing an excessive premium on Detroit off a single high-scoring game and overreacting to surface team trends, the sharp value rests squarely on the visitors to bounce back and secure the outright win.

WBC Lightweight Title: Roach vs. Zepeda

Both fighters made weight at 134.6 lbs, setting up a genuine 50/50 fight.

The Records
Raymond Roach enters at 25-1-3 with 10 KOs, ranked #4 WBA and #2 WBC at lightweight. William Zepeda is 33-1 with 27 KOs, ranked #1 WBC, #3 WBO, and #3 Ring.

On paper this is a pick'em, but I expect Roach to carry the public backing — largely on name recognition rather than a clear stylistic edge.

Styles
This is a classic boxer-puncher clash. Roach is the technician: a sharp counterpuncher with an excellent chin, crisp combinations, and disciplined pocket work and defense. Zepeda is the opposite type — a southpaw with a slight reach advantage who fights behind relentless volume and heavy body work. He rarely lets up and is built to break opponents down over twelve rounds.

Zepeda's lone loss came via unanimous decision to Shakur Stevenson in July 2025 for the WBC lightweight title. Before that, he held the WBC interim belt and racked up wins over Tevin Farmer (twice), along with stoppages of Giovanni Cabrera and Maxi Hughes — a resume built almost entirely on pressure and output.

The Angle
Roach's precision and timing against Zepeda's nonstop pressure is a great stylistic contrast, and this has real Fight of the Year potential. Zepeda may be carrying some ring rust off the Stevenson loss, but I see several paths for him to get this done — and at this price, the value is too good to pass up.

Pick: William Zepeda +135
