FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR MONDAY, 8/10:
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 Monday is with the money-line on the Tampa Bay Rays versus the Athletics listing both starting pitchers Freddy Peralta and Jacob Lopez. Tampa Bay (71-46) has won six games in a row after their 4-1 win in Seattle against the Mariners on Sunday. The Rays have won 22 of their last 34 road games after winning their last game. They have also won 9 of their last 10 games on the road. The Athletics (47-71) have won two games in a row after their 4-3 win in Boston against the Red Sox yesterday. They have lost 17 of their last 23 home games after winning their last game. They have also lost 15 of their last 18 games at home. Take Tampa Bay with the money-line listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.

UNDER 7.5
The Dodgers and Royals have value to the under. Tarik Skubal goes for the Dodgers and will make his 2nd start since the deadline. He runs into a familiar foe as he saw plenty of the Royals this year and throughout his career. Noah Cameron counters and he owns a 0.39 ERA over his last 3 appearances. Both pitchers are going to have a lot of success and we’ll see a lot of quick innings. Back the under. 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.

WNBA 100% TOP PLAY and MLB HEADLINE for Tuesday
The Tuesday Comp play is on Olympique Lyonnais at 3 eastern in round 3 of the Champions League Qualifiers. Lyon is home here and will be very tough which is why they are a solid favorite. Sparta Prague is very tough on defense but will have a tough time controlling the ball here and will likely have to generate offense on Counters and they did win the first leg at home 2-1. In the series Lyon has 5 wins with 2 losses and a draw. Lyon knows this is a win or go home game so their will be a heavy motivation to win here. Play on LYON to win. GL Rob V-

The Packers roll into Pittsburgh Thursday night for the first full preseason game of the year, and the total is sitting right in that familiar 36.5 to 37.5 window. I’m on the under, and the deeper you dig into the league-wide and team numbers the more it feels like the right side of the math.
League-wide, the 37 threshold has been a reliable separator for years. Closing totals of 37 or higher have gone under at a 56.4 percent clip since 2010, a sample that runs well over 900 games. Since 2014 the under on those 37-plus numbers is even cleaner at 60.7 percent, returning solid units at standard pricing. The reverse holds too. When the number opens at 37 or lower the over hits closer to 59 or 60 percent. This matchup is perched right on the line, but the historical lean still favors the lower side once you account for how little the real starters play these days. Last year only 9.8 percent of preseason pass attempts came from quarterbacks who ended up starting Week 1. That is a sharp drop from the 30-plus percent range we saw a decade ago, and it means more backup-driven football, more conservative play-calling, and fewer explosive finishes.
The Steelers themselves have been a quiet under machine at home in the exhibition season. From 2002 through 2025 Pittsburgh as the home team went under in 67.4 percent of its preseason games, a 14-29-2 record that has produced double-digit units over the long haul. That is not a small-sample fluke. It lines up with the physical, run-heavy identity the organization has carried for years, even when the first-team defense sits most of the night. Green Bay has not been as extreme, but the Packers still play a brand of football that keeps games from turning into track meets, especially on the road in August.
Add the outdoor night setting in western Pennsylvania and the picture gets clearer. Early-season humidity and potential weather keep the ball on the ground more than the public expects. Combined scores in Week 1 preseason games have historically averaged just under 39 points against posted numbers that often sit in the mid-to-high 30s. When you stack the league-wide 56-to-60 percent under rate on 37-plus totals with Pittsburgh’s strong home under history, the edge starts looking real. At -110 a 56 percent hit rate over a 100-game sample nets you positive return after the juice. A 60 percent clip turns it into a steady grind that keeps bankrolls healthy over time.
There is the Rodgers-McCarthy reunion angle, and yes, the veteran may take 30 or 40 snaps against his old club. Even if he does, the majority of the game still belongs to the second and third units still working through timing and communication. Those groups rarely light up the scoreboard in Week 1. I like this under. It matches the long-term numbers, the team-specific home trend, and the reality of limited starter volume. Keep the stake sensible, enjoy the nostalgia, and let the points stay low.
