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.
- The Mavs are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games against Oklahoma City.
- The Mavs are 1-4 ATS in their last five at Oklahoma City.
- The Thunder are 10-0 SU in their last 10 and 8-0 SU in their last 8 at home.
Verdict: The value lies with the home favorite.

7* MLB Cardinals/Brewers Free Pick
PLAY ON: Cardinals -125
I'm betting the Cardinals -125 on the money line in Thursday's series opener at the Brewers. Easy play for me on St Louis at this price with ace Sonny Gray on the mound. Gray has been one of the best starters in baseball to start the 2024 season. He's 4-1 with a 0.89 ERA and 0.857 WHIP in 5 starts. He's also got a strong track record vs Milwaukee, posting a 2.82 ERA in 14 career starts. Brewers will counter with Tobias Myers, who has a 6.23 ERA and 1.308 WHIP in 3 starts. Last two times out, Myers has surrendered 8 runs on 8 hits (4 HRs) in just 8 innings of work. Give me the Cardinals -125!

Dallas scored just 95 points on 39 percent shooting in Game 1. It should come as no surprise, as Oklahoma City has held seven of their last eight opponents to fewer than 100 points, and opponents have averaged less than 92 points during that span. Oklahoma City made over 46 percent of their three-point attempts in Game 1, and we might expect some regression. The total for tonight's game his higher than it was in Game 1, and I think we will see another low score.

My friends, barring a major injury, a world catastrophe, or a miracle, I just don't think any of us feel Cleveland stands a chance against Boston in this series. On paper, this is a team that has dropped four of the the last six straight up, while only covering one of those six outings. They were taken down by the Eastern Conference’s top-seeded, Boston opponent in Game 1 at the TD Garden, 120-95. Looking at the Celtics last eight games, in which they went 7-1 SU, with the one defeat coming at the hands of Miami in Game 2 of the opening round, they have absolutely shredded every opponent. It doesn't matter they're double-digit favorites, they are 5-1 ATS during that span laying 10 or more points. However, this is a boatload of points, sports fans, it really is. I mentioned at the top of this analysis the term "on paper". Basketball is not played on paper. Do I think the Celtics can beat this team by as many points as they want? Yes, I do! However, the Cavaliers were embarrassed in the series opener and must at least come back here and save a little face. Please understand Boston is not only a talented team, they are a smart, well-coached team. They know they don't need to blow out Cleveland here to get the win. They also know they can start pulling their starters when the game is in hand. I don't think this team needs to win by this much of a pointspread. I really do feel this value and taking the underdog here. Take the Cavaliers. Thank you.

MLB Free Pick - Houston at NYY
Ronel Blanco (3-0, 2.09 ERA), who has emerged as Houston's ace after entering the season as the fifth starter, attempts to produce another quality start when he faces the Yankees for the first time on Thursday. The Astros are 5-1 in his starts. Blanco got a no-decision Friday against the Seattle Mariners when he allowed three runs on five hits in six innings. Marcus Stroman (2-1, 3.41 ERA) hopes to find better command of the strike zone against the Astros. Stroman issued five walks for the second straight outing on Friday. He wound up with a no-decision after allowing one run on three hits in 5 1/3 innings in a game the Yankees won in the ninth inning against Detroit.
