Ricky's 1* play on SD.

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.

- San Diego are 5-1 SU in its last 6 games when playing at home against NY Mets.

- NY Mets are 2-5 SU in its last 7 games against San Diego.

- NY Mets are 1-5 SU in its last 6 games on the road.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

Still waiting and hoping that Mitch Keller is going to be a good pitcher? Sorry, but your patience is not going to be rewarded. Keller has an ERA above 4.00 for the fourth straight season. He has a lifetime 4.57 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in eight seasons.  

Now Keller is facing the best offense in baseball - the Braves. Atlanta is either first or second in runs, hitting, homers and OPS.

The Pirates are swinging extremely hot bats. They are averaging 8.1 runs in their last six games. Pittsburgh ranks fourth in runs, batting average and OPS.

Atlanta starter, 35-year-old Martin Perez, is due for regression. He has a 2.79 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. Perez's lifetime numbers in 15 big league seasons are a 4.36 ERA and 1.32 WHIP.

I find it extremely believable that each team should score at least four runs.

*75% NBA RUN* Joe D’s NBA is HOT HOT HOT!!! Today, together, WE SCORCH THE BOOKS in pro hoops with my NBA FINALS GAME 2 WINNER.

Friday’s FREE WINNER: Chicago White Sox.

Game 975.

3:40 PM PST/9:40 PM EST.

Very quietly, the White Sox have become the better team in the Majors coming out of the city of Chicago. Yes, that is correct, the American League Chicago representative is currently 33-29, while the National League representative is 33-30. Not many people expected too much of the Chicago White Sox this season. They are certainly a pleasant surprise, sitting in second place in the American League Central, just 2.0-games back of the Cleveland Guardians. I will admit, when they travel, they lose a little luster. They are certainly a better home team than they are an away team. But baseball is about situations. Right now, this team is running hot, winning six of their last eight overall games behind a surging lineup and a solid pitching staff. They rank in the top-10 in quite a few offensive categories, including runs scored, OPS, and home runs. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies are also sitting in second place in their division. They are an overall 33-29, sitting 8.5-games back of the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. They are starting to surge a bit, winning three in a row and seven of their last 10 overall games. But I think we can all agree, the Phillies are one of the most erratic teams in baseball. One thing for sure, their lineup is horrible. They rank near the bottom of the barrel in baseball in just about every major offensive category, which includes runs scored, team batting average, and OPS. At times, this offense looks great. But most of the time they fall way short. Their pitching staff overall, ranks in the middle of the pack. That is the one bright spot about this team. Speaking of pitching, today starters are scheduled to be Kay and Luzardo. The White Sox left-hander is a very respectable 5-1 on the campaign with a 3.77 ERA, as the team has won his last five outings. On the road this season, he is a perfect 2-0 with a 1.65 ERA. The Phillies left-hander is 4-4 with an ERA of 4.30 on the season, as the team has split out his ten appearances thus far. At home in 2026, he has fallen apart, going 1-4 with whopping ERA of 7.31. Uncharacteristic for Major League pitchers, he has struggled more at home than he has on the road. I feel Chicago matches up well with Philadelphia, has a very strong starter on the mound, and offers us a lot value today. Take the White Sox. Thank you.

The Friday Comp Play in International Friendly action is on the Under 2.5 in the Ireland vs Canada Match at 7:30 eastern. ** NOTE** if you like scoring dont watch this one. This has snooze fest all over it. Both teams will be tough to break down here especially Canada who is expected to win. Both teams are off wins last out and While Ireland is going to the Cup they are tough and ranked 59th in the world compared to 30th for Canada, so the game should be tight. Canada is co hosting the Cup and is looking to build momentum. They have a solid back line but need to do more to generate offense. Ireland is very similar in style. With Both teams off clean sheet wins we will back the Under here. GL Rob V-

1* Free Pick on Mercury +3½

The opposition case is obvious.

Kahleah Copper (18.2 PPG) is doubtful and Alyssa Thomas (15 PPG) is questionable, which is roughly 41% of Phoenix's scoring potentially walking out the door.

That's the reason the Mercury are 3.5-point dogs at all.

But the number has moved far enough that the value is back on the dog.

Start with Portland.

The Fire are 6-4 over their last 10 but the underlying numbers are ugly.

Net rating of -1.7.

Turnover rate of 21%, which is brutal.

They give possessions away against good defenses and they're going to give them away tonight too.

Portland's defensive rating sits at 107.6.

That's not a number that justifies laying multiple possessions against any roster with a pulse.

Carla Leite (15.2 PPG) and Bridget Carleton (14.7 PPG) lead a balanced attack, but balanced and dominant are different words.

Phoenix still has functional offensive pieces if Thomas sits.

Jovana Nogic is averaging 12 PPG and Monique Akoa Makani is at 11 PPG.

Natasha Mack gives them 9.8 PPG and rim presence.

That's not a championship roster, but it's enough to keep a game inside a field goal against a -1.7 net rating opponent.

The trend angle cuts the other way.

Phoenix is 1-6 ATS in their last 7, which is exactly why the line is here.

Sharp money fades that kind of public overcorrection.

I'll take the points.

I like the Mercury

This is a play on the DETROIT TIGERS for our Friday Free Play. Detroit heads back home following a sweep in Tampa Bay, a big surprise considering the Tigers came into the series 8-24 on the road. They are much better in Detroit as they are 14-14 and send Framber Valdez to the hill who has not lived up to expectations. He has a 4.39 ERA overall but that is mainly due to a pair of bad starts where he allowed 15 runs in just eight innings but take those out and his ERA drops to 2.72 in his other 10 outings. Seattle had its eight-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday against the Mets and is back on the road where it has an identical 14-14 record. Bryan Woo is coming off one of his best starts of the season as he limited the Diamondbacks to only two hits without a walk or a run allowed over seven innings but that was at home where he has been dominant with a 2.37 ERA and 0.71 WHIP in six starts, five of which have been quality outings. Things have been different on the road where he has a 4.68 ERA in six starts with only 25 strikeouts compared to 43 at home. Play (964) Detroit Tigers

Mercury vs Fire 
10 EST, Friday 
7-Unit bet on the Mercury priced as a –1.5-point favorite.

I prefer using the money line for this bet. 

Betting on road teams with one day off and in a matchup where they and the foe are averaging 76 or more PPG and with the foe coming off a dismal loss by 15 or more points has earned a solid 32-15-1 ATS record for 68% winning bets over the past five seasons of action. 

UNDER 8

Boston and New York have value to the under. Boston sends out Sonny Gray, who continues to pitch well for this rotation. He is 6-1 and owns a 3.06 ERA, as he has logged quality starts in 3 of his last 4 outings. Ryan Weathers counters and he’s stepped up for this Yankees rotation. He’s been able to find a lot of consistency and is working deeper into games more and more. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Today's FREE selection is a strong lean on the UNDER. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Friday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Royals/Twins UNDER 8.5

I’ve been following the CFL long enough to know that Week 1 is always a wild card, but this matchup between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Calgary Stampeders feels like one of those games where the numbers quietly scream value on one side. I’m rolling with the Blue Bombers -1.5 on the road, and here’s why it stands out when you dig into the trends, history, and stats that actually matter.

First off, let’s talk about how these two teams have danced over the years. The all-time series favors Calgary 81-57, but that’s the big-picture view. Zoom in on recent seasons and you see Winnipeg has been the more consistent program overall, especially when it comes to bouncing back and playing disciplined football. In 2025, Calgary finished 11-7 while Winnipeg went 10-8, but the Bombers have shown they can handle tough environments better than most West Division squads. Road favorites in this league have covered at a respectable clip in recent years when they bring that veteran core, and Winnipeg checks that box.

What really gets me excited here is the situational angle. Calgary has been solid at home historically , we’re talking winning percentages north of .700 in certain stretches , but they’ve shown vulnerability against Winnipeg’s style. Look at the scoring trends: these games often stay within a field goal. Winnipeg’s offense, built around efficiency rather than flash, has posted strong yardage-per-play numbers in recent campaigns, averaging over 6.8 yards per play in key stretches while keeping turnovers low (under 1.8 per game in solid seasons). Calgary, meanwhile, has had games where their defense gives up chunk plays, especially early in the year when timing isn’t quite there yet.

Another layer that makes this feel smart: Winnipeg’s ability to control the clock on the ground. In 2025, their lead back was pushing toward 1,100+ rushing yards with a healthy average, and that balance keeps games close on the road. Historically, when Winnipeg enters as a slight favorite away from home against divisional foes, they’ve performed well against the spread in low-total environments. This one is sitting around 48-49 points, which aligns perfectly with Winnipeg’s recent defensive trends , they’ve been stingy on third-down conversions (holding opponents under 40% in strong years) and excel at forcing punts in the first half.

Here’s where the math-geek side of me lights up. If you look at divisional road games since 2022, slight favorites like Winnipeg have hit the spread around 58% when the total stays under 50. Add in Winnipeg’s edge in turnover margin (often +0.4 or better in recent seasons) and you start seeing why laying 1.5 feels more like getting plus-money value in disguise. Calgary’s home success is real, but it’s often built on close wins rather than blowouts , they’ve covered as favorites at home less than 52% in certain recent samples against top competition.

Don’t get me wrong , Calgary will bring the heat, especially in front of their crowd. They’ve got playmakers who can flip a game with one big return or explosive pass. But that’s exactly why this spread feels right. Winnipeg doesn’t need to dominate; they just need to be the slightly sharper team in what should be a grind-it-out battle. I’ve seen too many Week 1 “home edge” narratives blow up when a battle-tested group like the Bombers shows up ready.

This one has all the ingredients of a classic cover: veteran road savvy, strong recent efficiency metrics, and a history of keeping things close in Alberta. I’m genuinely fired up about this pick , it feels like the smartest spot on the Week 1 slate. Let’s see if the Blue Bombers can kick off the season by spoiling Calgary’s home opener.

My selection is on Boston +1.5 runs over New York at 7:05 pm et on Friday.

We'll grab the insurance run with the Red Sox on Friday, noting that they've gone 18-9 when factoring in the +1.5 run-line over their last 27 contests. Sonny Gray will get the start for Boston. He's handled current Yankees hitters well, limiting them to a collective 26-for-105 (.248) with a .688 OPS and that includes Aaron Judge's 5-for-12 ledger (currently injured). New York checks in ranked just 21st in the majors in xwOBA over the last week, four spots behind Boston. Yankees starter Ryan Weathers has only seen three current Red Sox hitters previously and he's been tagged for five hits in 13 at-bats with all three of those players homering off of him. Boston's bullpen enters this game in terrific form having logged a 0.36 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 24 2/3 innings of work over the last week. In stark contrast, the Yankees 'pen has logged a 5.79 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over that stretch. Take Boston +1.5 runs (8*).

AAA Sports' Selection: San Antonio Spurs (ATS).

New York has won 12 straight games now dating back to the opening series.

But, the Knicks are just 1-5 against the spread over their L6 games played against opponents from the Western Conference.

San Antonio dominates the Knicks at home even after the Game One loss. In fact, it's 11-2 over the L13 games played against them at home.

They are 14-2 this season as well playing at home against Eastern Conference teams.

We're on the Spurs.

Royals vs Twins MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): KC right-haner Michael Wacha (4-2, 3.23 ERA) was roughed up by Texas last time out, but note that he owns a 6-1 record, a 3.30 ERA, and 50 strikeouts in 10 appearances against Minnesota.

While Wacha gave up six runs in his last start, Twins right-hander Zebby Matthews (1-3, 4.63 ERA) had an even rougher outing, surrendering seven runs in 4-1 innings of a 9-3 loss to Pittsburgh. 

The Bet: ROYALS (3%). 

The results don’t lie: 12-5 (71%) MLB moneyline run! Mike has a 5% MLB MONEYLINE MAX BET + additional MLB and NBA locked in for Friday.
