Ricky's 1* play on CLE.

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.

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

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

- Cleveland is 7-1 in its last 8 games when playing on the road against Detroit.

Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.

RARE 4% Orioles vs Rays MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Tampa Bay Rays have been the best team in baseball since the start of May, and Shane McClanahan (4–2, 2.27 ERA) has been a driving force with 16 2/3 scoreless innings over three straight team wins. McClanahan was shelled in his last start against Baltimore, but that was back in 2023, and he looks like a completely different pitcher right now.

Orioles southpaw Trevor Rogers has an 8.44 ERA with a 1–4 team record over his last five starts, and the Rays are a stunning 11–2 against left-handed starters this season. The Orioles, meanwhile, are just 3–9 against southpaws, which makes this an especially favorable matchup for Tampa Bay’s bats.

I feel we have very strong angles here, and recommend a bigger bet size than usual for a free pick. 

The Bet: RAYS (4%). 

44-28 (61%) +$13,580 for dime bettors dating back to April 26!

Mike has 3 MLB premium pick winners locked in for Monday, with a 4% TOP PLAY included!

Play on: Yankees -158 at betonline

Dave's Monday Free Play:

1* on New York Yankees -158

The Key: The New York Yankees have a big edge on the rubber tonight over the Toronto Blue Jays.  Ryan Weather is 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 8 starts for the Yankees this year with 54 strikeouts in 45 innings.  He has yielded only 5 ER in 23 2/3 innings in his last 4 starts.  Weathers held the Blue Jays to one ER in 6 1/3 innings in his lone lifetime start against them.  Patrick Corbin has been one of the worst starters in the majors.  He sports a 5.20 ERA or worse in 4 of his past 5 years.  Corbin has a 3.93 ERA thus far this year, but that's unsustainable.  He has yielded 6 ER, 2 HR and 15 base runners in 8 innings in his last 2 starts against the Yankees.  Take New York.

MLB | Blue Jays vs Yankees
Play on: Blue Jays +183 at circa

There's something satisfying about fading the big-market favorite in a divisional scrap, especially when the numbers quietly whisper that the "underdog" label might be doing some heavy lifting. Tonight in the Bronx, I'm rolling with the Toronto Blue Jays as my top underdog play. They're catching plus money in a spot that feels more even than the lines suggest, and history has a funny way of reminding us that AL East rivalries don't always read the standings.

The Jays enter this one at 21-25 overall, sitting third in the division, while the Yankees look stronger on paper at 28-19. But zoom in on the trends and you start seeing cracks. Toronto has owned a chunk of the recent head-to-head ledger , going 10-4 straight up in their last 14 meetings against New York. That's not ancient history; it's the kind of familiarity that turns "rivalry game" into something bettors can actually use.

Road underdogs in divisional matchups have been one of the more reliable edges this season across MLB. Public money loves piling onto the home favorite, especially in a marquee AL East tilt, which often leaves value dangling on the visiting side. The Jays fit that profile nicely: they've shown fight on the road even when the record doesn't sparkle, and their recent form includes splitting decisions in ways that keep games competitive.

On the mound, it's a lefty-lefty battle with Patrick Corbin (1-1, 3.93 ERA) for Toronto against Ryan Weathers (2-2, 3.00 ERA) for the Yankees. Neither guy is lighting the world on fire with strikeouts, but both keep the ball in the yard reasonably well. That points toward a game that could stay within reach rather than turning into a runaway. Toronto's road games as dogs have leaned toward unders lately, but the real story is their ability to scrap and keep things close enough for that plus-money payout to cash.

Look, the Yankees are a powerhouse when everything clicks , elite bullpen depth, big bats, and that home-field energy. But they've had their own stumbles recently, and betting against them at home in a divisional series isn't some wild contrarian move when the Jays have proven they can hang in these spots. Baseball has a way of humbling the chalk, especially on a Monday night when the spotlight isn't quite as blinding.

I'm not here chasing some perfect record; I'm here because this feels like the spot where the underdog has the ingredients to make things interesting , and profitable. The Jays at plus money in Yankee Stadium? That's the kind of bet that keeps the season from becoming to long. As always, shop around for the best number, and let's see if Toronto can remind everyone why rivalries matter more than raw standings.

Rockies +132

Colorado is worth a free move. The Rockies send out Jose Quintana, who has allowed 3 runs or less in all but one outing this season. He’s stepped up for this rotation In a big way, giving them chances to win every time he takes the mount. Gore counters and prior to his last start, he had given up 16 runs across 4 starts.

The San Diego Padres are 6-2 in their last eight games overall.  They just swept the Mariners while scoring 7 and 8 runs in the final two games in Seattle.  Michael King is notoriously underrated for the Padres.  He is 3-2 with a 2.63 ERA in nine starts this season and 1-1 with a 2.35 ERA in four home starts.  King has held his own against the Dodgers going 2-0 with a 3.68 ERA in four previous starts against them.  The Padres are 4-0 in those four starts.  Yoshinobu Yamamoto is 2-2 with a 6.15 ERA in six previous starts against San Diego.  Give me the Padres.

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the away team in this matchup. The Dodgers have responded to a four-game skid with five straight wins, and they come in riding a strong wave of momentum. Their last loss came in Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s (3–3, 3.60) most recent start, which is another reason we expect them to keep pressing to get him back in the win column as well

This is a FREE PLAY on the DODGERS!
