Ricky's 1* play on BOS.
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.
- Boston are 16-2 SU in its last 18 games.
- Toronto are 3-8 SU in its last 11 games.
- Toronto are 4-14 SU in its last 18 games against an opponent in the American League.
Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SUNDAY, 7/26:
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 Sunday is on the Pittsburgh Pirates with the money-line on the versus the Chicago Cubs listing both starting pitchers Braxton Ashcraft and Jameson Taillon. Pittsburgh (53-52) has lost three games in a row after their 11-0 loss at home against the Cubs yesterday. The Pirates have still won 31 of their last 52 games after losing their last game. They have also won 26 of their last 44 games when priced as a money-line favorite priced up to -150. Chicago (59-45) have won three games in a row — but they have lost 37 of their last 50 road games against teams with a winning record. The Cubs have also lost 13 of their last 21 road games in the second half of the season against teams with a winning record. Take Pittsburgh with the money-line listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.

Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Sunday: Pittsburgh Pirates -123
I like the spot for the Pittsburgh Pirates today. They will be highly motivated to avoid the sweep after dropping the first two games in this series to the Chicago Cubs. They have the advantage on the mound they need to take Game 3 Sunday.
Braxton Ashcraft is 9-4 with a 3.95 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 20 starts this season with 130 K's in 116 1/3 innings. Ashcraft has been at his best at home, going 4-1 with a 3.68 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 10 starts. He has been dominant in two starts against the Cubs this season, allowing just 2 earned runs in 11 1/3 innings with 14 K's.
Jameson Taillon is 2-5 with a 5.38 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 14 starts for the Cubs this season while allowing a whopping 22 homers in 72 innings. Taillon is 1-3 with a 6.21 ERA in six road starts, allowing 23 earned runs and 12 homers in 33 1/3 innings. He has not enjoyed facing the Pirates, allowing 10 earned runs and 5 homers in 11 innings in two starts against them in 2026. Bet the Pirates Sunday.

Brandon Lee
Sunday's Free MLB Pick
PLAY ON: Cubs +116
Sean Murphy
My selection is on the 'over' between Houston and Chicago at 2:10 pm et on Sunday.
Conditions look to be favorable for the hitters at Rate Field on Sunday with warm temperatures and high humidity blanketing Chicago. The Astros certainly don't need the help right now as they've been heating up at the plate, particularly in this series. They'll be facing White Sox starter Erick Fedde who owns a 5.15 FIP and 1.40 WHIP on the season but has actually held up reasonably well lately. Of course, he's had a very short leash, working five innings or less in 13 of his last 14 starts and that should be the case again here. The White Sox bullpen has been taxed recently and hasn't been great to begin with. I'm confident the Astros can produce enough offense to help this total along. It's not a must-win for the White Sox but it's certainly a key spot after dropping the first two games of this series. They'll face Ronel Blanco who will be making his second start since returning from injury. He was all over the place in his first outing. He actually gave up just two hits and struck out eight over 4 2/3 innings of work but still allowed four earned runs. Command has been an issue for Blanco throughout his big league career and if Chicago can stay patient, I think it can get to Blanco here. While the White Sox bats have been relatively quiet in this series, they still rank in the top half of MLB in wOBA against right-handed pitching this season and again they'll be working with favorable hitting conditions on Sunday afternoon. The Astros bullpen isn't in great shape with three different relievers having worked each of the last two games including closer Josh Hader. Take the over (8*).
Mike Lundin
Athletics vs Twins MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Oakland Athletics to bounce back from a 2-0 loss. We'll see a battle of left-handers on the mound, and Oakland southpaw Jeffrey
Springs (3-9, 5.96 ERA) has held this Twins roster to a minuscule .125 AVG over 40 at bats, with a 35% strikeout rate - Byron Buxton, for eaxmple, is 0-for-6 versus Springs. With the Twins 1-5 as favorites against left-handed starters, gimme the dawg.
The Bet: Athletics (3%).

PSP Data Driven 1* Under.
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 Under. The Under is 3-0 in Hamilton last 3 games. The Under is 6-3 in Hamilton last 9 head to head meetings.

I am looking at the Seattle Mariners at the Texas Rangers here in game 3 of a 4 game series. I rode the Rangers in game 1 on Friday night but tonight I will be on the Seattle Mariners on the ML. Logan Gilbert one of my favorite younger arms in baseball and this price here to back future hall of famer Jacob deGrom is very telling. Basically hes a pick em at home here. Seattle though has the depth at pitching and I think we will see this weak Mariners lineup get to deGrom late.
Play on the Seattle Mariners on the ML rotation #923

Joe Duffy
The Mets qualify as the only 8-or-more Luck Gap play on Sunday’s card. TeamRankings rates Los Angeles at +0.30 and New York at -10.31, producing a massive 10.61-game gap. Under the system, the substantially unluckier team is the wager, making New York the clear contrarian value side.
Emmet Sheehan is difficult to justify at this price. The Dodgers right-hander is 4-7 with a 5.13 ERA, and Los Angeles has lost seven of his last nine starts. He was hammered for six earned runs, eight hits and two home runs in 5⅓ innings against Philadelphia his last time out. Sheehan has surrendered 17 home runs in 87⅔ innings, with a concerning 10.3% barrel rate, creating legitimate damage potential for a Mets lineup containing Francisco Lindor, Bo Bichette, Luis Robert Jr., Marcus Semien and Francisco Alvarez.
Sheehan’s underlying metrics are better than his ERA, but not dominant enough to justify laying approximately -156 on the road. FanGraphs lists him with a 4.50 FIP, while Statcast has allowed a .338 wOBA and an 89.4 mph average exit velocity. He has completed six innings only once in his last nine starts, which increases the likelihood that the Mets get multiple looks at the Los Angeles bullpen.
Freddy Peralta’s surface form is admittedly poor, but his advanced indicators make him a viable positive-regression candidate. Despite a 5.01 ERA, Peralta owns a 3.85 FIP and has allowed a .303 expected wOBA, compared with his actual .342 wOBA. His 87.8 mph average exit velocity and 5.4% barrel rate are both better than Sheehan’s corresponding contact numbers. That substantial ERA-to-FIP and wOBA-to-xwOBA separation indicates Peralta has pitched better than his results suggest.
This is also a classic getaway-game situational spot. The Dodgers are completing a nine-game road trip, have already secured the series and enter on a four-game winning streak. New York has lost the first two games by competitive 4-2 and 4-3 scores, including Saturday’s game in which the Mets put 10 runners on base but went only 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position. A modest improvement in situational hitting could reverse the result against the weakest Dodgers starter used in the series.
Juan Soto’s absence is a significant negative, and Peralta cannot be trusted blindly after allowing seven runs in Milwaukee. However, those concerns are fully reflected in a generous home-underdog price. The pitching matchup is much closer than the respective team records suggest, Peralta owns the stronger underlying contact profile, and the 10.61 Luck Gap supplies the primary systematic edge.
The value is NEW YORK METS.
Slump long gone for Grandmaster Handicapper Joe Duffy. Another winner yesterday, 4-1 last 5. Joe Duffy is 45-22 in MLB sides since April 6 +25.09 units at one-unit per bet. 27-10 sides since May 25, up 61.51 units based on 4-units Wise Guy, 3 Major!
True, select moneyline bets even more insane, in part because I do not force bets for instant gratification. Today’s strongest MLB bet is a total and has it all super system with a common winning rule of thumb, and tons of intel as my top organic influencer agrees with my advanced analytics.
