Ricky's 7* play on SD.

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.

- Miles Mikolas is 1-5 in his last 6 home starts for the Cardinals.

- The Cardinals are 5-9 in their last 16 games.

- Dylan Cease is 7-4 in his last 11 road starts for the Padres.

Verdict: The value is on the road favorite.
