Ricky's 1* play on COL.
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 Royals are 1-3 in their last 4 games.
- The Royals are 3-5 in their last 8 road games.
- The Rockies are 3-1 in the last 4 head to head meetings.
Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: St. Louis Cardinals +126
Quinn Matthews will make his major league debut for the Cardinals on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a signal that the Cardinals are going 'all in' now that they have have fallen 3 games back in the wild card after their worst stretch of the season. It's a great time to 'buy low' on St. Louis here.
But few starters have had as much anticipation to make their MLB debut for St. Louis as Matthews. He is their No. 7 prospect and has lived up to the hype in the minors. Matthews has posted a 3.13 ERA with 111 K's in 92 innings across 19 starts for Triple-A Memphis. That includes a 1.59 ERA over his final 10 starts while pitching at least 6 innings in each of his last four.
Matthews will face one of the worst offenses in baseball in the Blue Jays, who are scoring just 3.9 runs per game this season. And St. Louis should get its bats going against the overrated Kevin Gausman, who is in the midst of one of the worst seasons of his career.
Gausman is 4-10 with a 4.51 ERA in 22 starts this season. He is winless in his last 11 starts. Gausman has gone 0-7 with a 6.32 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in his last 10 starts, allowing 37 earned runs and 9 homers in 52 2/3 innings. Bet the Cardinals Saturday.

The Key: The Houston Astros have gone 9-1 in their last 10 games overall to take over 1st place in the AL West. I like the price we are getting on them as home underdogs to the Texas Rangers tonight. Ronel Blanco is 2-2 with a 3.10 ERA in 5 lifetime starts against the Rangers. Jacob DeGrom is 0-3 with a 5.82 ERA in his last 3 starts against the Astros while yielding 11 ER and 8 HR in 17 innings. DeGrom is 3-4 with a 4.33 ERA in 10 road starts this year. Take Houston.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Royals/Rockies UNDER 12
The Kansas City Royals already had one of the worst offenses in the majors even when they were healthy. Now that they are without their two best hitters among others they are the worst offense. They have been held to 5 runs or less in 12 consecutive games. They have gone 7-0-1 UNDER In their last eight games. They have gone for 9 or fewer combined runs in 11 consecutive games. Luinder Avila is 3-0 with a 3.12 ERA on the road this season giving up only 15 earned runs and 3 home runs in 43 1/3 innings. Ryan Feltner is one of the rare Rockies who has pitched better at home than he has on the road. He has a 1.31 WHIP in nine home starts. Feltner gave up one earned run in 7 innings in his last start against the Royals last season. Give me the UNDER.

Saturday Card has a RARE MLB RED DIAMOND Release along with a 2X PERFECT WNBA TOTAL and an early EXECUTIVE LEVEL TIER 1 CFL Play going early CFL #1 ALL Time. Late CFL Comp play below
The Saturday CFL Comp play is on Saskatchewan at 7 eastern. The Roughriders are a small favorite here and have home loss revenge for a close loss to Edmonton as this is a right back revenge game Rob notes that road teams off a home favored loss against the same team have covered the only 2 times this has occurred if the total is 54 or higher and the first game went over the total. The Riders have won 4 of 5 as a road favorite with home favored loss revenge. The Elks have lost 5 of 6 as a home dog vs a team with home favored loss revenge. Look for Saskatchewan to take this one.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take #209909 San Diego over Minnesota (8:30 p.m. EST, Saturday August 1) We hit a +200 underdog on Orlando in MLS with our free soccer pick last week, and let’s do it again this week. Both sides have struggled this season, but San Diego looks like they are turning their season around and they have a chance to jump Minnesota in the standings with three points here. We think San Diego is the better side, and they should be motivated here. They won their lone visit to Minnesota, 4-2, in their short franchise history. We think they can do it again. They are coming off a 1-0 home win over Dallas. In their inaugural season last year they played well on the road at this point of the season and cashed many plus-money tickets in similar situations. Minnesota is on a six-match winless streak, and they have won just one of their last nine. They have five outright losses during that span. They have just three goals in their last five matches, while San Diego has 11 in the same span. San Diego will be aggressive here and we don’t think the Minnesota offense can match them. Great value here, and the road side has a great chance to steal three points for a massive payout.

PSP Data Driven 1* Over.
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 Over. The total has gone over in 4 of Calgary last 5 road games. The total has gone over in 4 of Calgary last 4 head to head meetings versus Hamilton.
