Ricky Tran
Ricky's 1* play on ATL.
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.
- Atlanta United are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
- Atlanta United are 3-1-1 in their last 5 home matches.
- Atlanta United has scored 6 goals in their last 3 home matches.
Verdict: The Value is on the home favorite.

History repeats itself? The Leafs face the Bruins again in a Game 7, and history favors Boston who have won four of the last five. The most significant trend though might be the total of 5.5. We've seen three of the last four games in this series go under the number, and Game 4 and Game 5 each ended with a final score of 2-1. Since 1996 Game 7s have gone under the total well over 60% of the time. I'm not about to buck that trend ...

Saturday NHL Free play. My selection is on Boston over Toronto at 8 pm et on Saturday.
The Bruins have to be feeling a sense of deja-vu after blowing a 3-1 first round series lead against the Panthers only to be ousted in Game 7 last year. Toronto isn't Florida though and I expect to see Boston rally to hold off the hard-charging Leafs and advance to the second round on this occasion. Note that Toronto is a long-term 3-7 (-6.4 net games) in Game 7 of a playoff series going all the way back to 1996. While the Leafs are 48-42 in their last 90 games following consecutive wins, as is the case here, they're a money burning -28.0 net games in that situation. Meanwhile, Boston checks in 32-11 (+17.4 net games) in its last 43 contests when seeking revenge for a road loss against an opponent including a 10-2 (+6.9 net games) record in that spot this season. The B's are also a long-term 267-202 (+20.8 net games) following a one-goal defeat including a 30-13 (+12.4 net games) mark over the last three seasons. Take Boston.

Saturday’s FREE WINNER: MAPLE LEAFS BRUINS UNDER.
Trends and streaks certainly play part when handicapping any sport. I believe this rings true more in hockey than any other. We just can't deny the fact these two teams tend to go under the total when they meet. This series is alone, the under is 4-1-1. Going back a bit, over the last 10 meetings, seven have gone under, two have gone over, and one push. These two teams know each other quite well, as you know. I expect another tough, scrappy, defensive battle here with solid goaltending. No way I'm bucking the trend of going under. Take under. Thank you.

1* on Atlanta Braves +174
The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Atlanta Braves tonight. This may be the biggest underdog price we get on the Braves all season. Bryce Elder has a 1.50 ERA in his 2 starts this year yielding only 2 ER in 12 innings. Tyler Glasnow has been great but not quite as good at home with a 3.60 ERA in his 4 starts, yielding 4 HR in 25 innings. Elder sports a 1.50 ERA in 2 lifetime starts against the Dodgers yielding 2 ER in 12 innings and the Braves won both of those starts. Take Atlanta.

MLB Free Pick - San Francisco at Philadelphia
Suarez will look to build on his early-season success when the Phillies continue their four-game series against the visiting San Francisco Giants this evening. Philadelphia (22-11) improved to a season-best 11 games over .500 with a 4-3 victory on Friday, while San Francisco lost for the third time in four games. The Phillies have won seven of their past eight games. Suarez (5-0, 1.32 ERA) has won his last five outings, including a 5-1 victory over the San Diego Padres last Saturday. He allowed one run on three hits and struck out eight over eight innings. Suarez, 28, has allowed just one run in his last 30 innings and boasts a 40-to-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio through six starts.
