Ricky's 1* play on TEX.

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.

- Carlos Carrasco is 1-3 in his last 4 starts for the Guardians.

- Jon Gray is 3-1 in his last 4 starts for the Rangers.

- The Rangers are 3-2 in the last 5 home meetings.

Verdict: The Value is on the home favorite.

7* MLB Cubs/Braves Free Pick

PLAY ON: Cubs/Braves UNDER 8.5

I'm on the UNDER 8.5 in Wednesday's series finale between the Cubs and Braves. We cashed the UNDER 8 in Atlanta's 7-0 win on Tuesday. Chicago has yet to score in the series, as the Braves won the series opener 2-0 on Monday. I see another low-scoring affair today with Javier Assad going for the Cubs and Charlie Morton on the mound for Atlanta. Assad has a 1.70 ERA and 1.063 WHIP in 8 starts. Morton has a 3.14 ERA and 1.046 WHIP in 7 starts. Morton also owns a 2.89 ERA in 3 home starts and a 1.35 ERA over his last 3 outings. Give me the UNDER 8.5!

Oklahoma City shot just 38 percent from the field and 26 percent from beyond the arc in Game 4, and won on the road by a score of 100-96. SGA scored 34 while Luka was held under 20 points for the second time in the series, and you have to be concerned about playing on that injured knee and ankle. I don't see it getting any better for Luka and the Mavs, but I would count on a better shooting performance from Oklahoma City in Game 5.

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

The OVER is 9-2 in A's last 11 games overall with 9 or more combined runs in nine of those 11 games.  The A's are scoring 6.3 runs per game in their last 11 games.  The Astros have scored at least 4 runs in five of their last seven games overall.  I expect both offenses to have success tonight.

Aaron Brooks will me making his first start of the season for the A's.  Brooks is 9-13 with a 6.55 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 180 innings in his career in the big leagues, though he hasn't pitched since 2019.  Brooks has gone 1-6 with a 4.57 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in eight starts for AAA Las Vegas this season.

Framber Valdez is 2-1 with a 5.10 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in six starts for the Astros this season.  Valdez has allowed 7 earned runs and 2 homers in 12 innings in his last two starts against Oakland.  Brooks is 0-4 with a 7.96 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in five career starts against Houston.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

Wednesday NHL Free play. My selection is on Colorado over Dallas at 8 pm et on Wednesday.

Teams facing elimination certainly haven't been going away quietly in this round of the NHL Playoffs. On the heels of three straight losses, I look for the Avalanche to answer back as they sit on the brink of elimination on Wednesday as well. Note that Colorado is 7-1 (+5.1 net games) when coming off three straight games in which it allowed four goals or more this season, as is the case here. The Avs are also a long-term 28-15 (+2.3 net games) when coming off a home defeat. Meanwhile, Dallas is just 4-9 (-8.9 net games) when coming off a game in which it scored four goals or more against a divisional foe over the last three seasons. The Stars are also 3-7 (-10.0 net games) after securing a victory by four goals or more in their previous contest this season. Take Colorado.

The MLB Comp play is on Philadelphia at  6:40 eastern Philly has won 8 of the last 10 overall in the series and has a big pitching edge. Suarez is 7-1 last 8 home, Houser 0-2 on the road 13+ Era. For this year Suarez is already 7-0 with a 1.50 Era. The Phils are off to a 30-14 start and may not look back this year as they have the Hitting and the Pitching both performing at a high level. MY continues to struggle at the plate and are starting to fade. Look for the Phils to take another here tonight. Rob V-

The Braves have taken the first two games of the series and have now won seven of the last 10 over Chicago, including five straight. Atlanta has put up just under six runs a game in the last five games against the Cubs. The Cubs offense has struggled to score lately and has not scored in the first two games. I look for the Braves to dominate this game.

Play on Atlanta. This is a free play.
