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.

- Milwaukee is 5-1 in its last 6 games.

- San Francisco is 1-5 in its last 6 games.

- San Francisco is 1-10 in its last 11 games against an opponent in the National League.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

(#962) Cincinnati Reds | ML | . 

Luinder Avila (0-2, 5.06 ERA) vs. Chase Burns (7-1. 1.96 ERA) . 

It's pretty simple to me right now. Kansas City is clearly not a good baseball team at the moment and there has to be some type of change if it's going to bounce back from this mess. The Royals have been blown out in consecutive series' now, allowing plentiful amounts of runs while scoring hardly any. There's also been epic collapses while being up. Now, with a possible opener on Monday, I do not see things changing. 

On the other hand, Reds starter Chase Burns has been pretty unbelievable so far. His numbers rank among the best in the game and he's most definitely in the stacked NL Cy Young race at the moment, especially if he keeps things up. Cincinnati was a playoff team last year and hopes to get back there this season. Give me the Reds. 

Burns' Prediction: 6-1 Reds.

The Soccer Comp play for Monday is on Norway at 1 eastern. Norway has a solid home field and they have not lost here since 2024. They take on a Sweden team that has won their last 2 with wins over Poland and Ukraine. Norway has scored just once in the last 2 matches but they will likely find the back of the net here at least once at home. They have won the last 2 in the series with Sweden and will look to bag a nice win as they ready for the World Cup. This game should be tight, the best Result for Sweden would be a draw, but with Norway at home and looking for a win we will back hem here today. GL Rob V-

1% GOLD RUSH on Mercury +3½

1* Free Pick on Mercury +3½

Minnesota walks in 6-2 over their last 10 with a 10.3 net rating, and the market has them as road favorites for good reason.

I'm taking the points anyway.

The Lynx are running this trip without Napheesa Collier, Dorka Juhasz, and rookie Emma Cechova.

Collier alone averaged 22.9 points and 7.3 rebounds in 2025.

That's not a depth hit, that's the entire frontcourt rotation behind Natasha Howard and Nia Coffey.

Phoenix has Alyssa Thomas eating 33.9 minutes a night and Natasha Mack at 25.5.

Howard and Coffey are going to have to guard both of them for 40 minutes with no relief.

Foul trouble is one whistle away from breaking this game open.

The opposition case is real.

Phoenix is 0-5 SU in their last 5 and 1-4 ATS.

Minnesota is 7-1 ATS over their last 8 and owns this series historically at 13-5 SU in the last 18 meetings.

That's why this number is only 3.5 instead of 7.

But those Lynx ATS numbers were built with Collier on the floor or with a healthier rotation.

The lookback doesn't price in a frontcourt playing three guards and two forwards with no bench behind them.

The underlying numbers back the home side too.

Phoenix has a 105.5 offensive rating and a -1.2 net rating.

They have Kahleah Copper at 18.4 points and Thomas at 16.7.

Two of the highest-usage players on the floor tonight wear Mercury jerseys.

I like the Mercury

1* Free Sharp Play on Marlins +130

This is a play on the ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS for our Monday Free Play. The Dodgers took two of three against the Phillies to conclude a 5-1 homestand and they have now won 14 of their last 17 games. They hit the road where they are 18-10 and laying a typical big number. Emmet Sheehan is coming off a quality outing in his last start against Colorado and he has allowed two runs or less in four of his last six starts but all four of those were at home where he has been good this season with a 3.62 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in six starts. He has been a different pitcher on the road where he has a 6.52 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in four outings, allowing four runs in three of those with the lone exception coming against the Rockies. Arizona got swept in Seattle to finish 3-3 on its roadtrip and now back home where it has an identical 18-10 record. Eduardo Rodriguez continues his dominating bounce back season as he has a 2.31 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 11 starts which includes a 1.31 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in five home outings, three of which where he did not allow a run covering 21 innings.

Monday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: Diamondbacks +141

If you've been grinding MLB totals this season like I have, you know the drill: it's not about chasing every high-scoring game, but finding those sneaky spots where the numbers line up just right. Tonight's Tigers-Rays matchup at Tropicana Field feels like one of those. I'm leaning hard into the 7.5 to Over 8, and here's why it makes sense when you dig into the trends, stats, and matchup angles.

First off, look at the Rays' home performance this year. They're sitting pretty at 36-20 overall and scorching in the AL East, but it's their offense at home that's been cooking. Tampa Bay is posting a .337 on-base percentage and .389 slugging inside the dome, good for one of the better home OPS marks around the league. They've scored 4+ runs in a ton of their home games, and with a run differential that's positive by nearly 20 runs overall, they're not exactly playing small ball. Factor in that Tropicana Field has played pretty neutral-to-friendly for overs in recent seasons, especially when the Rays are clicking offensively.

Now, the Tigers bring their own baggage to the table. Detroit sits at a dismal 22-38, dead last in the AL Central, with a brutal road record and negative-39 run differential. Their offense is scuffling along at just .231 batting average and .680 OPS on the season. But here's the twist that makes this lean Over: when these guys travel to hitter-friendly or neutral parks against pitchers who leave the ball up, they can put up crooked numbers. More importantly, Detroit's bullpen has been a tire fire lately – they've coughed up leads and allowed inherited runners to score at a high clip. If the starters don't go deep, that late-inning chaos favors more runs.

On the mound, we've got Ty Madden (0-0, 2.38 ERA in limited action) for Detroit against Griffin Jax (1-3, 3.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) for the Rays. Madden's looking sharp in his small sample , just 0.79 WHIP and striking out nearly a batter per inning –, but he's coming off injury concerns and facing a Rays lineup that's feasting on right-handers. Jax, meanwhile, has been hittable, allowing 27 hits and 15 walks in 30 innings. Neither guy screams "complete game shutout artist."

Zoom out to the broader trends. The Rays have seen the total go Over in a majority of their home games this season, and they've got that classic "score first and pile on" mentality, winning a huge chunk of games when they put up 4+ runs. The Tigers? Their last 5 games have mostly stayed Under, but that's been against stronger pitching staffs and in lower-scoring environments. On the road against a top AL East team in a dome with no weather worries, the script flips. Historically, interleague and cross-division games like this have a way of producing more offense than expected when one team (Tampa) is rolling and the other is desperate for wins.

Bottom line: between the Rays' home offensive firepower, Detroit's road woes and shaky relief pitching, and two starters who aren't exactly lockdown aces, this one has all the ingredients for a game that pushes past 8 runs. I've been burned by unders in dome games before when I ignored the bullpen fatigue angle, so I'm not sleeping on that here.

If you're riding with me on this one, let's hope the bats stay loud in St. Pete tonight. These are the spots where paying attention to the granular stats separates the winners from the guessers.

My selection is on Texas over St. Louis at 7:45 pm et on Monday.

The Rangers are suddenly rolling again off a series sweep of the Royals over the weekend. We'll gladly fade the Cardinals as they check in off a lopsided victory over the rival Cubs on Sunday Night Baseball. The starting pitching matchup favors Texas with veteran Jacob deGrom going against Michael McGreevy of St. Louis. We'll also give the edge to the Rangers bullpen, which has been solid on the road this season with a 3.30 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Neither team has been tearing the cover off the baseball lately but Texas does sit three spots ahead of St. Louis in terms of xwOBA over the last week. I think the Rangers are favored for a reason in this spot. Take Texas (8*).

AAA Sports' Selection: Miami Marlins/Washington Nationals (OVER).

Miami will start Sandy Alcantara -- He has allowed 14 runs over his L2 starts. Quite bad after his great beginning to the year.

The OVER is 18-5-3 in road games for the Marlins so far this season.

Washington will start Cade Cavalli -- He has been really solid. But, he's allowed at least a couple of runs in all home starts this season.

The Nationals have been the highest scoring team in the MLB this season, scoring 5.4 runs a game.

They have allowed 5.4 runs a game as well, which is towards the bottom.

Giants vs Brewers MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Milwaukee Brewers came through for us with a 2-0 win yesterday, and their pitching has been top notch lately. Left-hander Shane Drohan (2-1, 2.63 ERA) has been solid through 11 outings (one start) and he's been particularly sharp at home. The Giants are 0-5 in Landen Roupp's (5-5, 3.30 ERA) last five starts, despite solid pitching from the right-hander. 

The Bet: UNDER (3%).
