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 Diamondbacks  are 4-0 on their last 4 games.

- Eduardo Rodriguez is 4-1 in his last 5 starts for the Diamondbacks.

- Carson Palmquist is 0-5 in his last 5 starts.

Verdict: The value is on the road favorite.

Friday 6* CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE GAME OF THE MONTH HEADLINES along with a Friday night MLB Blowout Hot Side. Soccer Comp play below

At 8 eastern the Soccer Comp play is on the over 2.5 goals in the Marquense at Antigua GFC Match in Guatemala Liga action Expect both teams to find the back of the net at least once here. Antigua likely gets the win here as well as they have won 5 straight here at home. Marquense has one win 3 losses in a draw over their last 5 overall. Both teams have been leaky on defense allowing 2+ goals per game over the last 5 matches. Look for tis game to play over 2.5 goals. GL Rob V-

Jim Feist’s FREE Play of the Day is the CFL's Calgary Stampeders over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday. The Stampeders are slight road underdogs or pick at this time, but I like Calgary to win the game because it has the quarterback play and offensive firepower in this West Division game.

Calgary has a clear advantage under center with Vernon Adams Jr.. The Stampeders quarterback has thrown 17 touchdown passes without an interception to open the season. He also torched Montreal for 316 yards and three touchdowns in Week 3. Adams can make every throw and stretch the field, making Calgary dangerous anytime they have the ball.

Dru Brown will get the start at quarterback again for Winnipeg. Brown played well against Edmonton, but Zach Collaros is still on the six-game injured list with a neck injury. The Bombers won in Week 3, but Winnipeg’s offense has repeatedly settled for field goals. The unit is near the bottom of the CFL in points and cannot continue to waste red-zone trips against a Calgary team that is averaging 37.7 points per game.

Don’t forget that Calgary already knows it can play with Winnipeg. The Stampeders led late in their season opener before Montreal won 30-28 on a field goal with time expired. That game proved there is not much between these teams, but Calgary has the slight edge in this rematch because it has a revenge angle and should feel confident in its ability to move the football against the Bomber defense.

The Stampeders have dropped their last two games, but Calgary never led in either contest. The offense struggled to score early, but it came roaring back late in both games. Calgary cannot fall into another big hole against Winnipeg, but the Stampeders have too many explosive weapons to count out for all four quarters. The Bombers are on a three-game win streak, but they barely escaped winless Ottawa in Week 3. Winnipeg can beat anyone in this league, but they are not playing well enough right now to be your favorite.

With Calgary playing better quarterback, already having gone toe-to-toe with Winnipeg and holding a clear advantage in the red zone, I like the Stampeders to keep it close enough to win this game straight-up on Friday.

My selection is on Toronto minus the points over B.C. at 7 pm et on Saturday.

The Argonauts have still yet to play a game at home this season with the World Cup previously taking up residence in their home stadium in Toronto. After Saturday's game they'll finally look ahead to their 'home opener' following a bye week. Needless to say, the importance of this game has been ratcheted up thanks to a three-game slide, both SU and ATS. We do know the Argos are capable of better. They opened the season with a hard-fought 37-30 loss in Montreal before delivering convincing victories in Ottawa and Saskatchewan. Save for a blowout defeat in Calgary on July 2nd, Toronto hasn't been all that far off. It has been moving the ball through the air at will and has turned it over a grand total of five times over its last four games. That's in stark contrast to the Lions, who haven't been able to get anything going offensively and have committed a whopping eight turnovers over their last three contests. The Lions have been held to fewer than 80 rushing yards in three of five games to date. Of course, they're up against it now with QB Nathan Rourke sidelined due to injury. Take Toronto (8*).

Guardians vs Rays MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): Cleveland left-hander Joey Cantillo (8-5, 3.74 ERA) gave up four runs in five innings of a 7-1 loss to Pittsburgh last time out, and have been hitting left-handers hard all season, checking in at 19-10 with a +25% ROI when facing a left-handed starter. The Rays turn to a left-hander of their own in Shane McClanahan (8-6, 3.15 ERA) who is 6-1 with an ERA of 1.88 at home on the season. 

The Bet: Rays (3%).

The Mets are the correct side in the biggest Luck Gap matchup on Friday’s card. New York ranks dead last in TeamRankings’ Luck Ratings at -9.54, while Los Angeles sits at -0.50, producing a 9.04-point gap in favor of backing the substantially unluckier team.

That does not mean the Mets have been better than the Dodgers. Clearly, they have not. It means the records and public perception have created an inflated price on Los Angeles in a pitching matchup that is much closer than the teams’ overall standings suggest.

Roki Sasaki is only 3-5 with a 4.98 ERA and 1.34 WHIP, while Sean Manaea enters at 2-5 with a 4.74 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. Sasaki has been especially vulnerable away from Dodger Stadium, posting a 6.25 road ERA, 1.44 WHIP and .346 opponent on-base percentage. He has also allowed 19 home runs in 86⅔ innings, including five over his last three starts.

Los Angeles has won Sasaki’s last three outings, but that disguises a 5.55 ERA over his last five starts and an average of only 4⅔ innings per appearance. The Dodgers are just 5-12 against the run line in his starts, another indication that the market consistently charges too much for the uniform and team record.

Manaea’s career history against Los Angeles is ugly, but his current form is not materially worse than Sasaki’s. He has struck out 17 batters with only four walks over his last three starts, and the veteran has shown the ability to compete against this lineup before, allowing only two runs over five innings in his most recent regular-season start against the Dodgers.

The bullpen comparison also helps New York. Both relief units entered with an identical 3.16 ERA, while the Dodgers’ bullpen had allowed nine earned runs, 11 hits and six walks over its previous nine innings. Los Angeles is also navigating a lengthy injury list that includes Will Smith, Blake Treinen, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and several other pitchers.

New York returns home after an off day, while Los Angeles is playing the third stop of an extended road trip. Juan Soto also received Wednesday off, followed by Thursday’s scheduled day off, giving the Mets’ best hitter additional recovery time for his sore calf.

The Dodgers deserve to be favored, but -135 to -145 is too expensive with Sasaki’s road problems and inconsistent form. New York has the rest advantage, a rested bullpen, the largest Luck Gap on the board and a starting-pitching matchup that is far closer than the teams’ records.
