MLB | Cubs vs Pirates

Play on: Cubs +122 at Ace

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the road underdog in this matchup. The betting line appears to be heavily inflated due to the public reputation of Pittsburgh's starter, but expecting the Pirates to justify a steep premium on their home dirt is a massive market overreaction. White Pittsburgh RHP Paul Skenes (9-8, 3.43 ERA) commands immense market respect and carries strong individual metrics, Pittsburgh has routinely failed to convert his outings into betting value, stumbling to a sluggish 9-12 team record and generating a substantial negative ROI in his starts this season. 

Cubs LHP Shota Imanaga (6-8, 3.91 ERA) enters this contest in electric form. Over his last three starts, Imanaga has completely locked down opposing orders, surrendering just three earned runs while racking up 17 strikeouts across 16.2 innings of work. Imanaga holds absolute mastery over this specific opponent; across five career appearances against the Pirates, he boasts a 2-0 record alongside a microscopic 0.28 ERA.

This is a FREE PLAY on the CUBS!

Ricky's 1* play on TB.

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.

- Tampa Bay are 4-1 SU in its last 5 games.

- Cleveland are 2-4 SU in its last 6 games.

- Cleveland are 3-7 SU in its last 10 games against an opponent in the American League.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

DEL MAR LATE PICK 4:  RACE 5: #9 SUNK COAST FALLACY, #5, #8. RACE 6 #6, RACE 7 #8, #5 RACE 8 #9, #4, #8

DMR race #4... some decent value on the #7 

Saratoga Friday:  Win Contenders #8,#4,#5 Exacta Box.  Debut Runners ranked in Top Pick, Second Choice!

Understanding purchase price with an unspectacular mare in the mix can be so useful. 

SECOND RACE: A Maiden Special Weight at five furlongs on the TURF. Top selection is BULLWHACKER (#1). He debuts for Mendez, a guy who used to fire often with debut runners, and today, this gelding has plenty of foundation in place. Notice he began working at Dixie Downs, a red soil track in Utah before coming west, and what strikes us is that he was a 600,000 purchase, a huge price out of a mare who was 0-2 on the track, and being this was her first foal, had nothing to show on the bottom side, thus, a big, big price telling us the horse is really put together well.

Another nice debut winner, returning $18.40.

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%).
