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 Rays are 7-2 in their last 9 games.
- The Rays are 4-1 in the last 5 head to head meetings.
- Shane Mcclanahan is 3-1 in his last 4 starts for the Rays.
Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Once again the marketplace seems to be overreacting to recent Mets' successes, in this case a modest 3-game uptick earlier in the week before getting blanked 1-0 by Chris Sale and the Braves bullpen last night. Though acknowledge that Thursday starter Nolan McLean has a 1.50 ERA in his four July starts, note the Mets are only 6-6 in McLean's last 12 outings.
Still, Miami intrigues after snapping its debilitating 12-game slump in dramartic fashion with a rousing 3-game sweep of the Phillies, highlighted by a rally from 6-0 down last night. Thursday starter Eury Perez pitched in some bad luck during the extended Marlins skid, but his recent form has nonetheless been solid, with a 1.75 ERA across his last six appearances.

FREE PICK | New York Mets Team Total [UNDER] | Good until 3.5, -135.
Pitching Matchup: Eury Perez/Nolan McLean [Away Listed - Perez Must Start].
New York has had trouble scoring all year. The Mets are averaging 4.2 runs per game, on some of the worst hitting numbers, which ranks in the bottom 1/3 of the entire MLB. That has resulted in the Mets being sellers at this trade deadline. There could be moves throughout today before this game takes place. But, even if not, Perez should be able to cruise. The Mets scored three runs over the two games in the double header yesterday. Perez has a 1.73 ERA over his L4 starts. FREE PICK on NYM TT UNDER.
