Ricky's 1* play on Over.

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 Total has gone Over in 3 of Andrew Painter last 4 starts for the Phillies.

- The Over is 4-2 in the Nationals last 6 road games.

- The Total has gone Over in 3 of Jake Irvin last 5 starts for the Nationals.

Verdict: We should see plenty of Runs in this game.

Mason Barnett (1-1, 4.85 ERA) vs. TBD. 

Turning into a starter, for the meantime at least, Mason Barnett did not have a good July. Posting a 8.79 ERA over six outings during last month, I don't see much improvement coming from the 25 year old on Thursday. This is another hitter friendly ballpark and the struggles will continue against a hungry Reds lineup. 

Despite still being quite a few games back, Cinci is still pushing to make a run at a wildcard spot. The Reds just announced that Hunter Greene will be heading to the IL, meaning this will probably be a bullpen game or a pitcher called up from the minor leagues. I expect lots of runs in this one on Thursday afternoon. 

Burns' Prediction: 8-5 Reds.

Wednesday’s free winner: Milwaukee Brewers.

Game 908.

4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST.

Possessing the best overall record in baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers are firing on all cylinders. They are equally good on the road as they are at home, own the fifth-ranked scoring offense, and the second-ranked pitching staff. Yesterday’s victory over their division opponent was a big one for the home team. Prior to that, they dropped six of the seven meetings with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2026. Speaking of which, Pittsburgh sits in third place in the National League Central, 14.0-games back. This is a team that’s barely treading water at home, and is two games under .500 on the road. They are struggling, once again. The Pirates have dropped six of their last eight overall outings, with a combination of a lackluster effort offensively, and a pitching staff that has gotten absolutely steamrolled. As far as today’s starters go, Paul Skenes and Kyle Harrison are scheduled. The Pittsburgh right-hander is just 9-9 on the campaign. But does own a respectable ERA of 3.90. His last two appearances have been absolute nightmares as he is allowed 10 earned runs in just 9.1 innings pitched, as the team has dropped both of those games. As a matter of fact, the team is only 3-12 and his last 15 outings. Over his career he has done well against the Milwaukee Brewers. But right now, it just doesn’t seem he is in sync, and let’s not forget his offense is not giving him the run support he needs. The Milwaukee left-hander has earned a very respectable 8-2 record this season with an even more respectable ERA of 3.01. At home in 2026, he’s been nearly unbeatable earning a 5-1 mark with an anemic ERA of 1.53. He shut down today’s opponent back at the end of April, going 6.0 scoreless innings and earning the victory. Over his career in two starts against Pittsburgh, he has allowed zero earned runs and only six hits in 12 innings pitched. Oh, by the way, he only walked one batter and fanned 19 in those turns. All signs point to the home team here. Take the Milwaukee Brewers. Thank you.

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Boston Red Sox -127

The Boston Red Sox are 24-3 in their last 27 games overall. They should be bigger home favorites over the Chicago White Sox tonight with Sonny Gray on the mound.

Gray is 13-2 with a 2.93 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 20 starts this season, including 5-1 with a 2.72 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 10 home starts. He has tossed 14 shutout innings in his last two starts against the White Sox.

Sean Burke has had a surprisingly solid season for the White Sox, but he's getting too much respect here. Burke allowed 4 runs, one earned, and 8 base runners in 5 innings in his lone career start against Boston. Bet the Red Sox Wednesday.

This is the first meeting between the two teams and we are expecting a close match with limited scoring. Nashville will likely bag the 3 points here as they are solid at home.

Wednesday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Nationals +177

Hamilton getting the points against BC is the lean that actually makes sense on this number, and the 2026 data plus the line movement only reinforce the caution on the home favorite.

The Lions sit at a messy 2-5 and have been one of the more inconsistent teams in the entire league. Hamilton is only 3-5 themselves, but they have shown more fight and have kept games competitive more often than the pure record suggests. The number opened closer to BC -5.5 and has drifted up toward -6.5 to 7, the kind of slow climb you often see when the public leans into the home side without real sharp conviction behind it. Laying six or six and a half with a club that has dropped five of seven already feels soft, and the upward movement has done nothing to make the price more attractive. Home field still carries weight in the CFL, but it has not been enough to turn this version of the Lions into a reliable cover machine. League-wide, home favorites sitting under .300 this season have been far from automatic against mediocre road teams, and BC fits that profile a little too cleanly.

The recent form tells a clearer story than the standings alone. BC has struggled to string together complete games on both sides of the ball and has been vulnerable to giving up leads or failing to finish. Hamilton has been outscored overall, sure, but they have hung around in enough contests to make the plus side interesting. When you look at how large home favorites have performed against .300-to-.400 road clubs in 2026, the cover rate drops off once the number climbs past a touchdown. The expected value on laying 6.5 with this Lions team simply does not jump off the page the way it does in cleaner mismatch spots, especially after the line has already moved against the underdog.

The math is straightforward. A 2-5 home team laying more than a touchdown against a 3-5 visitor creates a break-even threshold that demands a higher win-and-cover rate than BC has delivered so far. Even after adjusting for home-field advantage, the Lions’ inconsistency has produced enough stinkers to make the price feel a little rich. The fact that the number has stretched from the mid-fives into the sixes suggests the market is still buying the home side, yet the underlying form does not fully support that confidence. Hamilton’s ability to stay within one score in several of their losses gives them a realistic path to cashing the ticket, whether by keeping it close or straight-up stealing one if BC has another off night. League trends this year have shown that soft home favorites in the 6-to-7 range have been vulnerable when the underdog still has some fight left.

I like the underdog points here more than I like the favorite. This is the kind of spot where the market sometimes overrates the home team simply because the other side is not lighting the world on fire, and the line movement so far looks more like public steam than informed money. BC has not earned heavy trust at a larger number, and Hamilton has shown just enough resilience to make the plus side attractive. Grab the Tiger-Cats plus the points and let the inconsistency of the Lions do the rest, or wait for a better number if the line keeps drifting. Either way, this does not feel like a spot to hammer the chalk

My selection is on Chicago over Boston at 7:10 pm et on Wednesday.

The White Sox were crushed in the opener of this series last night. I think the starting pitching advantage swings back in their favor on Wednesday, however, and we'll back them at an underdog price. Sean Burke is one of the most underrated starters in baseball right now for Chicago. He's 7-5 with a 3.29 FIP and 1.10 WHIP and figures to fare well at Fenway Park having yielded less than one home run and three walks per nine innings this season. Burke has struck out a whopping 20 batters in just 12 innings over his last two starts. Sonny Gray will counter for Boston. Current White Sox hitters have gone a healthy 17-for-52 (.327) with an .844 OPS against the veteran right-hander. Gray enters in poor form having allowed nine earned runs on 17 hits over his last two outings, covering a span of just 12 innings. Take Chicago (8*).

PSP Data Driven 1* Brewers.

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 favorite. The Brewers are 6-4 in their last 10 games. The Pirates are 2-6 in their last 8 games.

For my best free pick on the board here for Wednesday in the WNBA I am looking at the Atlanta Dream hosting the Phoenix  Mercury. I had big hopes for the Dream as they went down in flames on Monday versus Vegas and we see a Mercury team coming to town that seems to be peaking at this point of the season. Head to head Atlanta has beaten them in 4 straight head to head contests and covered 3 out of 4 of those. Mercury 6 covers over their last 7 games Atlanta just 1 cover last 10. Normally I’d go Atlanta here I just feel this team has some big issues.

The value lies with the underdog in a matchup where the market may be overreacting to recent form. Our primary system also qualifies this game. The historical angle comparing the current line to a previous series meeting has produced +225.22 units, taking advantage of situations where oddsmakers shade the price too aggressively after recent head-to-head results.

Paul Skenes has hit a rough patch with a 6.06 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over his last three starts, but those numbers deserve context. Two disastrous outings against Cincinnati and the Cubs have inflated the recent statistics. 

Against Milwaukee this season, Skenes has been outstanding, allowing just two earned runs in 12⅓ innings while striking out 14. He blanked the Brewers over seven innings in Milwaukee on April 24 and held them to two runs in his July 12 victory.

Even with the recent hiccups, Skenes remains one of baseball's elite strikeout pitchers, averaging 7.4 strikeouts over his last 10 starts. If he returns anywhere close to his established level, Pittsburgh's biggest edge is on the mound. His overall 1.11 WHIP is still excellent, and his ability to miss bats gives the Pirates the higher ceiling in a low-total game.

Kyle Harrison has been excellent overall with a 3.01 ERA, but there are reasons to question whether he should be laying this price. 

Before landing on the injured list, he allowed six earned runs over his final two starts while lasting just 6⅔ combined innings. His season numbers are also heavily driven by his home performance. While Harrison owns a sparkling 1.53 ERA at home, Pittsburgh has already shown it can handle Milwaukee's pitching staff, taking four of the first seven meetings before Tuesday night's loss.

The betting market also appears to be giving Milwaukee significant credit for its superior record despite this series being far more competitive than the standings suggest. Covers' projection actually makes Pittsburgh the slightly higher-scoring team (3.86-3.73) while listing a near pick'em true moneyline, creating value whenever the Pirates are available as a meaningful underdog.

Finally, Pittsburgh's bullpen has quietly been in outstanding form, posting a 1.66 ERA over its last three games, minimizing concern if Skenes exits after six innings.

With an elite starter who has already dominated Milwaukee twice this season, a proven situational betting angle worth more than 225 units, and an underdog price that appears richer than the true matchup warrants, Pittsburgh +125 offers value.

The Grandmaster cashes another BIG underdog as the Cubs deliver, improving Joe Duffy to 51-25 on MLB moneyline bets for +29.94 units. Tonight's Wise Guy is another POWERFUL, ELITE night dog or small favorite. If you are on the outside looking in, that's on you!
