Ricky's 1* play on MIL.
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 Brewers are 6-4 in their last 10 games.
- The Pirates are 1-5 in their last 6 games.
- Bubba Chandler has loss 3 of his last 5 starts for the Pirates.
Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Monday: Pirates/Brewers OVER 8.5
Two teams that don't get enough credit for how good they are offensively this season square off when the Pittsburgh Pirates visit the Milwaukee Brewers for Game 1 of this series Monday. This total of 8.5 is too short.
The Pirates are one of the most improved offenses in baseball scoring 5.1 runs per game, while the Brewers are scoring 5.0 runs per game this season. Both offenses should have their way with these two suspect starting pitchers tonight.
Bubba Chandler is 3-8 with a 4.56 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 20 starts and one relief appearance for the Pirates this season. He allowed 5 runs, 3 earned, in 4 innings of a 8-7 loss to the Diamondbacks in his last start. Chandler does not enjoy facing the Brewers, going 0-1 with a 13.49 ERA and 2.73 WHIP in two career starts against them while allowing 11 earned runs and 20 base runners in 7 1/3 innings.
Brandon Sproat is the weakest link in this Milwaukee rotation. He is 3-6 with a 5.05 ERA in 18 starts and two relief appearances this season, including 2-3 with a 5.98 ERA at home where he has allowed 27 earned runs and 9 homers in 40 2/3 innings. Sproat allowed 3 runs, 2 earned, in 3 innings of a 7-6 loss in his lone career start against the Pirates on July 11th. Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

Jimmy Boyd
1* Free Pick on Dodgers/Cubs: under 8½
The wind is the story at Wrigley tonight.
An 8 MPH wind from the east at Wrigley Field blows in from the lake, and that's the single strongest atmospheric run-suppressor in the sport.
Clear sky, 77 degrees, no rain.
Perfect pitcher's weather.
Dodgers lefty Justin Wrobleski takes the ball at 11-2 with a 2.88 ERA.
He's not the sexiest arm, but he's given the Dodgers length and kept runs off the board all season.
Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd counters at 6-1, 3.41 ERA, and he's in a groove.
Four of his last five starts went 6+ innings with 1 earned run or fewer, including a 7-inning shutout of the Cardinals on July 29.
Here's where the opposition pushes back: Boyd's 4.30 xERA is nearly a full run higher than his ERA, and his .411 xSLG says the Dodgers' lineup can wreck him.
Fair concern.
I hear it.
What that argument ignores is the park and the wind.
Wrobleski's peripherals don't matter tonight in the same way because the atmospheric conditions are doing half the work for both starters.
An east wind at Wrigley has historically turned would-be homers into warning-track outs.
Add in the Dodgers being without Will Smith, with rookie Dalton Rushing hitting 9th, and the away lineup loses a real middle-order bat.
Two lefties in form, wind blowing in, 77 degrees.
That's an Under recipe.
I like the Under
Dave Price
Dave's Monday Free Play:
1* on Tampa Bay Rays -156
The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Tampa Bay Rays tonight against the Colorado Rockies. This is the perfect opportunity for the Rays to bust out of their recent offensive funk and blast the Rockies. Michael Lorenzen is 3-9 with a 6.71 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 22 starts for Colorado this year. Lorenzen is 1-4 with a 8.74 ERA and 2.07 WHIP in 10 home starts, yielding 44 ER and 94 base runners in 45 1/3 innings. He yielded 4 ER and 2 HR in 5 2/3 innings of a 4-0 loss to the Rays in his last start against them. Take Tampa Bay.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Dodgers/Cubs OVER 8
This total of 8 is pretty low for a matchup of two of the best offenses in the National League tonight. The Dodgers and Cubs are both scoring 5.1 runs per game this season. Justin Wrobleski gave up 5 earned runs and 4 home runs in 6 innings of a 7-6 loss to the Mariners in his last start. Matt Boyd has given up 6 earned runs and 3 home runs in 12 innings in his last two starts against the Dodgers. Give me the OVER.

Monday card has a Rare 6* MLB Side backed with a21-0 and 17-0 long term Power Systems and DISCOUNTED 50% Off. There is Afternoon Tennis and another Perfect Power system in the Las Vegas vs Atlanta game. Comp play below The Monday Soccer comp play is on Djurgardens at 1 eastern. Djurgardens has won 4 of the last 5 in the series with Vasteras. They are a bit heavy here but should get the job done. The sit 3 points ahead in the Allsvenskan Swedish league standings but have a solid +12 goal differential. Both teams are off home clean sheet wins. Both teams are among the leagues best scoring teams but have played lower scoring when facing each other. Both teams like to establish ball control and both will likely find the net here but Djugardens will likely get more than 1 here and are harder to bread down particularly at home so we will back them to get the win.

Brandon Lee
Monday's Free MLB Pick
PLAY ON: Rangers -104
Sean Murphy
My selection is on Washington over Philadelphia at 6:40 pm et on Monday.
Most bettors won't want any part of the Nationals on Monday after they were just swept in a four-game series in Atlanta to stretch their losing streak to five games. We'll back them, however, as I think they're the value side in the opener of this series in Philadelphia. The Phillies will send Aaron Nola to the hill. He has been incredibly inconsistent this season having gone 3-9 with a 5.61 ERA and 1.43 WHIP. I don't expect him to have an easy time trying to navigate a good Nationals lineup on Monday. The Phillies do check in off consecutive shutout victories in Baltimore but stringing together a third straight victory will prove difficult in my opinion. Keep in mind, prior to those two wins over the weekend, the Phils had lost four games in a row and they're just six games over .500 on the season. I don't believe the price is warranted despite them playing at home on Monday. Take Washington (8*).
Mike Lundin
Magic Mike's Dodgers vs Cubs MLB Free Pick
Current Free Pick Run: 1-0
The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Los Angeles Dodgers to bounce back from three home losses to Boston. A team like the Dodgers, rarely loses four in a row, and they are 5-2, when coming off a loss and sending Justin Wrobleski (11-2, 2.88 ERA) to the mound. His win-loss record, ERA, and 1.02 WHIP sason numbers speak for themselves, and Wrobleski is also in a personal bounce-back spot after giving up five runs last time out.
The Bet: Dodgers (3%).
Coming off a 100% PEFRECT 2-0 PREMIUM PICK SWEEP + a free pick winner, Mike's dropping 3 MLB premium picks for Monday.

Brian Bitler
For my best free pick on the board here for Monday I am looking at the Chicago Sky hosting the Phoenix Mercury. Nice story for the Sky having covered 7 straight games and they do have a similar record to the Mercury but that is where the similarities stop between these two teams. Phoenix has a ton of veteran talent and we saw them come out and beat Golden State and give the Liberty all they can handle. Chicago embarrassed this Mercury team on their home floor and now is the opportunity for some payback.
Play on the Phoenix Mercury plus or minus the points rotation #655
