Ricky's 1* play on CLE.

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 Guardians are 8-2 in their last 10 games.

- Gavin Williams is 3-1 in his last 4 starts for the Guardians.

- The Blue Jays are 2-4 in their last 6 road games.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Free Play on Padres ML- The Cincinnati Reds are 10th in the majors in wRC+ against left handed pitching. They are dead last in the majors in wRC+ against right handed pitching. Randy Vasquez can struggle against teams with a lot of good left handed hitters, but the Reds are not that team. Vasquez should be able to navigate through this lineup well. The Padres bullpen is excellent and well rested too.

Nick Lodolo is in really poor form, and the Padres have been one of the top five offenses in baseball in the last month. The Reds have one of the weakest bullpens in baseball.

Take San Diego.

Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Baltimore Orioles -137

The Baltimore Orioles have gone 8-2 in their last 10 games overall to pull within a half-game of the final wild card spot in the American League.  The Colorado Rockies have gone 2-12 in their last 14 games overall and have the worst record in baseball at 52-86 on the season.  

Kyle Bradish has posted a 4.15 ERA in 26 starts for the Orioles this season.  I'll gladly back Bradish over Gabriel Hughes, who is 0-6 with a 6.61 ERA in nine starts and one relief appearance for the Rockies this season.  Hughes has posted a 10.03 ERA in his last five starts while allowing 26 earned runs in 23 1/3 innings.  Bet the Orioles Tuesday.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #164 Under in Marshall Thundering Herd @ Penn State Nittany Lions (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 5 FS1) The Matt Campbell era gets underway at Penn State on Saturday. Penn State should still have a strong defense and Coach Campbell is a run the ball and play strong defense type of coach. I don’t think he will want to throw the football up and down the field and focus on field position and ball control. Marshall usually a bowl caliber team and not a mid-major pushover like some teams. They have to run clock to have any chance to keep this game under twenty points and that should set up a strong play for the under. Marshall closed out the season going under the posted total in 3 straight games.

I like Tampa Bay around -125 in a bounce-back spot after Monday's 3-2 loss. The Rays are an excellent 46-24 at home and have been one of baseball's strongest teams against left-handed pitching, going 25-13 against lefty starters. That's important with Sean Manaea starting for New York.

Tampa Bay also owns one of the American League's best offenses, while the Mets have struggled on the road and are only 15-25 as road underdogs of +100 or higher.

PLAY ON: Giants +149 

Under 48.5 in Buffalo. That’s the one I want and recommending to all of you.

Thursday night, Albany is on the road at a MAC team that went 5-7 last year and scored 24 a game. Buffalo is laying 24 and a half. They should win. They do not need a 35-burger to get it done. The books hanging 48.5 already told you this is supposed to stay small. Week 1, first Thursday, rust, backups late. That’s punts. Not a track meet.

Albany already played. They beat New Hampshire 28-14 and the under cashed at 46.5. Last season they averaged 16.3 points. That’s two scores and a kick if everything is clean. They are not walking into Broadview and hanging 28. Buffalo scored 24 a night in 2025 and allowed 23.5. Close games. Ugly games. Not 50-point games.

Shop 48 if you can get it. Don’t wait around for 47 and watch the number leave.

Simple way to look at it: if each team puts up 21, you are already home.

21+21=4221 + 21 = 4221+21=42

That’s under 48.5 with six points to spare. Twenty-one is three scores. Asking for 49 in an opener with a three-touchdown spread is a lot. Buffalo 28, Albany 14 is 42. Buffalo 31, Albany 10 is 41. The over needs a leftover touchdown and a special-teams mistake. Week 1 does not give those away as often as people think.

Add last year’s averages and you get the same picture.

16.3+24.0=40.316.3 + 24.0 = 40.316.3+24.0=40.3

That’s eight points under the number before you even tax it for September rust.

Buffalo is a big favorite because Albany is FCS and on the road in Week 1, not because this is about to be 45-17. If the Bulls cover and it finishes 31-7, the under still cashes. Spread and total are different tickets. Take the one that pays when the night stays quiet.

A few spots that keep showing up in this look:

Bet under the total in Albany games as a road underdog.
The Under’s record since the 2025 season: 5-0 (100%) with an average over/under of 51.5. (+5.0 units, ROI = 90.9%)

Bet under the total in Buffalo home games when the number is 50 or lower.
The Under’s record since the 2025 season: 6-2 (75%) with an average over/under of 48.8. (+3.6 units, ROI ≈ 45%)

Bet under in Week 1 MAC home games against FCS when the total is 50 or lower.
The Under’s record the last two seasons: 7-2 (77.8%) with an average over/under of 49.1. (+4.4 units, ROI ≈ 49%)

Bet under when Albany plays an FBS team and the number is 52 or lower.
The Under’s record since 2025: 4-1 (80%) with an average over/under of 50.2. (+2.6 units, ROI ≈ 52%)

Grab 48.5. If a shop is still at 49, that’s fine too. I would not start on Buffalo −24.5 when the total is the cleaner number. Check the wind off the lake closer to kick. Keep the unit small. It’s still the first week. People are generally in the dark so the books play it safe, the lines might be tilted . This is one that looks a little crooked and a viable early season bet.

Under 48.5, Albany at Buffalo. That’s the play.

My selection is on Detroit over Minnesota at 7:40 pm et on Tuesday.

The Twins took the opener of this series in blowout fashion last night. We'll back the Tigers as they try to respond on Tuesday. Troy Melton gets the start for Detroit. He pitched well over seven innings against a tough Rays lineup last time out but was still saddled with the loss in a 3-0 defeat. On the season, Melton is 7-3 with a 3.73 FIP and 1.01 WHIP and while current Twins hitters have had some previous success against him, I'm confident he can navigate their lineup in this spot, noting that while Minnesota did bust out for 11 runs last night, it still ranks middle-of-the-pack in terms of xwOBA over the last week. Andrew Morris gets the start for the Twins, figuring to serve as an 'opener'. The Twins bolstered their bullpen at the trade deadline but it remains unreliable with a 4.68 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over the last month. Look for the Tigers to answer back in this spot. Take Detroit (8*).

Mets vs Rays MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Tampa Bay Rays to bounce back from a 3-2 loss Sunday. They had won four on the bounce leading up to that setback, and boast a 46-24 home record. Included in that record is a 13-3 mark as home favorites against left-handed starters, and Mets southpaw Sean Manaea (4-6, 4.55 ERA) has been hit hard lately, with 14 runs allowed over his last three starts alone. 

The Bet: Rays (3%).
