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.

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.

LA Dodgers at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET

Cubs over Dodgers - Well, here it is, the streak that all teams go through at one time or another during the prolonged baseball season, as the Dodgers have lost five straight games. The best team in baseball was swept three games against Boston at home and has now dropped a pair in Chicago. Eric Lauer (6-5, 4.50 ERA) is 5-0 since coming over to Los Angeles in mid-May but today he meets his Waterloo. Shota Imanaga (7-9, 3.67) gets the nod for the Cubs and he is 1-1 against the Dodgers. Take CHICAGO CUBS!

Wednesday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Nationals +177

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. 

Play on the Phoenix Mercury plus the points rotation #601

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!
