Free Sports Picks of the Day

Ricky's 1* play on CHI.

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.

- Lionel Messi will not play in this game.

- Chicago Fire have managed to win their last 3 games.

- Chicago Fire are 3-0-1 in their last 4 road games.

Verdict: The value is on the Home Underdog.

(#927) Detroit Tigers @ (#928) Chicago Cubs | UNDER | . 

Keider Montero (6-5, 3.32 ERA) vs. Colin Rea (7-6. 4.74 ERA) . 

Chicago dominated yesterday's game with Framber Valdez struggling from the opening pitch. I don't expect that to be the case on Wednesday when Keider Montero takes the mound. He's been a very consistent pitcher for Detroit this season with a fantastic 2.59 ERA when pitching in away games this season. 

On the other hand, Colin Rea's pitched much better lately. Over his past five starts he owns a 3.12 ERA. I believe that he's going to be sharp on Wednesday against 25th best team in baseball in terms of BA (batting average) this season. Give me the "under" this evening. 

Burns' Prediction: 4-1 Tigers.

Today, together, WE CRUSH THE BOOKS on the diamond with 4 BIG WINNERS: GRAND SLAM, DOUBLE PLAY, HOME RUN, and LATE BAILOUT. Get them all, and SWEEP THE BOARD.

Wednesdays free winner: Seattle Mariners.

Game 924.

12:40 PM PST/3:40 PM EST.

The Seattle Mariners are sitting at .500 at 51-51, just a half-game back of the Texas Rangers in the American League West. Prior to yesterday‘s defeat, they dominated the Cincinnati Reds, taking seven of the eight previous meetings, going back several seasons. The Reds are a train wreck, my friends. They sit in last place in the National League Central at 46-54, 16.5-games back. They struggle on the road where they are just 24-26. Compare that to the Mariners home record of 30-22, and it shows you where we’re going here. Cincinnati’s offense ranks at or near the bottom of the barrel in just about every major category. That does not bode well as they must face the fifth-ranked pitching staff in baseball. Yes, it’s true. The Seattle offense leaves a lot to be desired. However, the Reds hitting has been deplorable. As far as pitching goes, today starters are scheduled to be Singer and Hancock. The Cincinnati right-hander is 4-9 with a 4.56 ERA on the campaign, while the Seattle right-hand has been much more impressive, earning a 6-4 record with a very respectable ERA of 3.17. The team has dropped 12 of Singer’s last 14 outings. On the road this season, he has been absolutely horrible with a dismal record of 1-5 and an ERA of 6.14. At home in 2026, Hancock has earned a respectable record of 3-2 with a very low ERA of 2.92. I really like the Mariners here. They almost made is as a premium play for me. But I still find there’s enormous value with them and this line. Take Seattle. Thank you.

I am not going to pass up an opportunity to go against Phillies starter Aaron Nola with the Dodgers at this short of a price.

Nola hasn't been good the last two seasons. He was 5-10 with a 6.01 ERA last year and he's 3-7 with a 5.68 ERA this year.

It is no surprise the Dodgers have the best record in baseball at 64-38 given their many stars. LA ranks in the top three in runs, batting average and OPS. The Dodgers lead the majors in runs scored on the road averaging nearly 6.0 per game.

Dodgers starter Eric Lauer doesn't draw much respect in the marketplace. Yet, the Dodgers are 7-0 when he has pitched. Lauer, a lefty, was struggling with the Blue Jays earlier this season, but he has a 3.12 ERA with LA.

The Phillies rank 25th in batting against southpaws hitting .228.  

The Dodgers also hold a bullpen edge ranking eighth with a 3.76 ERA compared to Philadelphia’s 4.38 bullpen ERA, which ranks 22nd. 

1* Free Pick on Red Sox -135

Recommended Bet: Palmeiras -110

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: A's/Diamondbacks OVER 8.5

Two struggling starting pitchers square off today in Game 3 of this series between the A's and Diamondbacks.  This total of 8.5 is too short in a battle between two surging offenses that should have their way today.

Arizona has scored at least 4 runs in seven of its last eight games overall, while the A's have scored at least 4 runs in three of their last four.  The Diamondbacks have at least 8 hits in nine of their last 10 games, while the A's have at least 9 hits in five consecutive games.

Rookie Gage Jump is 0-4 with a 7.41 ERA in his last four starts for the A's.  He has allowed 14 earned runs in 17 innings during this stretch.  Jump is backed by a brutal A's bullpen with a 5.47 ERA this season.

Merrill Kelly is 7-8 with a 5.20 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 17 starts for the Diamondbacks this season.  He has been at his worst at home, going 3-3 with a 6.69 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in seven starts while allowing 28 earned runs and 11 homers in 37 2/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

UNDER 8.5

Locking this in early. Tampa Bay and Toronto have value to the under. Tampa Bay sends out Griffin Jax, who has been hit or miss since joining the rotation. He has consistently worked 5.0 innings or more at least and goes up against a Jays offense that is frustrated right now. Fisher will go for the Jays to start a bullpen day. Both teams are extremely aggressive offensively and will produce quick innings in this matchup. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Today's FREE selection is a strong lean on the UNDER. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

1* Free Pick on Pirates/Yankees: under 9

The market set this total at 9 because Pirates starter Mitch Keller carries a 5.14 ERA and 5.38 xERA into the Bronx.

That's the obvious read.

The less obvious read is what's missing from the Yankees dugout.

Aaron Judge is on the 60-day IL.

Giancarlo Stanton is on the 10-day IL.

New York's lineup has been reduced to a stack of lefty contact bats: Grisham, Rice, Jones, Bellinger, Dominguez, Chisholm, McMahon, Wells.

The platoon edge against a right-hander is real, but the ceiling on this group without their two 30-homer bats is much lower than the ERA suggests.

The opposition case is that Keller is toast and the wind blows toward the right-field porch.

Fair.

But Keller has still gone 6 innings in three of his last four starts, and even in his blow-up against Washington he limited the damage to 5 runs over 6.

He gives up hits, not crooked-number innings.

On the other side, Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is pitching to a 3.56 xERA that undersells the 3.93 mark, and he just went 6 innings with 8 Ks and 2 ER against the Dodgers on July 17.

He's drawing a Pirates lineup missing Oneil Cruz (60-day) and Spencer Horwitz (10-day), running Jake Mangum, Esmerlyn Valdez, and Tyler Callihan in key spots.

Ace vs. depleted lineup on one side.

Below-average starter vs. a lineup with no thump on the other. 4-4 is the shape of this game, and 9 is a number I'll pay -115 for.

I like the Under

1* MLB - Tigers/Cubs FREE PICK on Cubs -113

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Tigers/Cubs OVER 8

The wind was blowing out in Game 1 and the Tigers and Cubs combined for 14 runs.  The wind was blowing in in Game 2 and the they combined for 13 runs.  The wind will be blowing in, but only single-digits today and hitting will be much more favorable than it was in Game 2.  These teams are just hot at the plate right now and this total of 8 is too low.  Keider Montero can't be trusted to go very deep in this game as he has spent his time between the bullpen and as a starter this season.  He will be making his first start since June 26th.  Colin Rea is 7-6 with a 4.74 ERA and 1.42 WHIP for the Cubs this season giving up 53 earned runs and 15 home runs in 100 2/3 innings.  Rea gave up 4 earned runs in 5 innings in his only previous start against Detroit.  Give me the OVER.

The Wednesday Comp play is on LAFC in MLS Action. LA has won 5 of 6 here at home and are off a solid clean sheet win over inter state Rival LA. Real Salt lake is in 7th in the table and just a point behind LA. However they have not fared well in the head to head losing 15 of the 19 meetings and lost the last 2 meetings by an 8-2 aggregate. Real Salt Lake has been inconsistent on the road and with LA having one of the stronger home fields in the West we will back them to take home the spoils. GL Rob V-

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #688 Under in Edmonton @ Saskatchewan (9p.m., Thursday, July 23 CBS Sports Network) Edmonton scored just 19 points last week and I see them struggling to light up the scoreboard on Thursday in the CFL as Week 8 gets underway at Mosaic Stadium. These are two of the best three teams in the CFL, and both teams have strong defenses, especially the Elks. Edmonton has allowed just 138 points in 6 games. Saskatchewan has allowed over 30 points per game, but they are coming off a bye and that will help them get some defensive players back for this game. Often times when good teams meet, the defensive’s dominate and we expect a low scoring game on Thursday. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Weekend card featuring top plays in Soccer, UFC, CFL, and KBO.

Cardinals vs. Angels — 7 Units on Los Angeles as a -125 favorite

St. Louis enters riding a three-game sweep of a divisional rival, which is precisely the situational trigger this algorithm is built around — but counterintuitively, it's a fade system, not a follow system, and it targets betting the underdog against the streaking sweeper.

Algorithm: 24-16 (60% winners), +115 average price, 29% ROI, $16,280 Dime Bettor profit.

Criteria: Inter-league matchup ✓ (Cardinals NL, Angels AL); St. Louis coming off a divisional sweep — worth confirming their exact last series; opponent (Angels) has won more games than... actually, St. Louis (51-49) has more wins than the Angels (41-61), which satisfies the "opponent has won more games" framing when read from the Angels' side facing a superior St. Louis club.

Hot: The Angels, despite MLB's second-worst record, have shown flashes of being live underdogs against elite competition, and a team fresh off celebrating a sweep can occasionally come out flat the next series. This is a classic "buy low against house money" situational system.

1* Free Play on Sun/Fever over 178½ -110

Wednesday's Free MLB Pick

PLAY ON: A's +106 

AAA Sports' Selection: Indiana Fever (ATS).

Indiana has won four of it's L5 games played this season and is 10-3 over it's L13 home games.

The Fever just won by 20 as underdogs against the New York Liberty.

Connecticut is having another bad year with a 7-19 overall record this season.

The Sun have been solid against the spread. But, playing Indiana hasn't been friendly to them recently losing four of the L5 games.

We're on Indiana big tonight.

Dodgers vs Phillies MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): The Los Angeles Dodgers are 5-0 in Eric Lauer’s last five starts, but that run has come with plenty of support, and Lauer enters with a 4-5 record and 4.81 ERA on the season. That makes this a tougher ask against Aaron Nola (3-7, 5.68 ERA), who has had his own inconsistency (Phillies 1-4 in his last four starts), but we know he has a super high ceiling, and he gives Philadelphia the more trustworthy starter in a tight National League matchup.

The Bet: Phillies (3%). 

FREE PLAY on Rockies +127

PSP Data Driven 1* San Jose.

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. Orlando City SC have achieved just 1 win in their last 13 away Major League Soccer games. San Jose has scored 4 goals in their last 2 games.

For my best free pick on the board here for Wednesday I am looking at the Washington Mystics hosting the Las Vegas Aces. Washington just back from a West Coast trip just got home and now have a huge team in Vegas on deck. Vegas no room to play around here as they look to head into the break with a blow out win. 

Play on the Las Vegas Aces minus the points 

****DO NOT MISS MY TITANIUM BEST BET WINNER GOING OFF TONIGHT I AM 172-128 58% LAST 299***

This is an outsourced pick from the short-list of very entrusted experts. Previously called a competitor consensus, the name was changed to reflect it does not always come from the few quality professionals who sell picks, but also can come from any sharp source. As long as I am not leaning the other way, I will bet a trusted outscource. 

This is a strong bounce-back spot after Chicago was embarrassed 10-0 Tuesday, but that blowout does not accurately reflect the matchup. The White Sox won the opener 10-3, own the better record, have scored considerably more runs this season and are still 7-3 in the last 10 meetings with Texas.

Anthony Kay gives Chicago the starting-pitching edge. He has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts, posting a 3.13 ERA during that stretch. Kay has also been considerably better recently than his 4.24 season ERA suggests.

Texas counters with Cal Quantrill, who owns a 3.93 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, but his underlying .339 expected wOBA is worse than his actual .325 wOBA. That suggests some regression remains possible against a White Sox lineup averaging 4.79 runs per game.

The Rangers’ offense erupted for 18 hits Tuesday and went 7-for-10 with runners in scoring position—an extreme performance that is difficult to repeat. Texas also may be without Josh Jung after he exited that game with calf tightness. 

Chicago has the superior season record, superior run production and a favorable starting-pitcher comparison. We will back the White Sox to rebound and take the series finale.
