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 Jags are getting solid production from their 2nd and 3rd string QBs.
- The Dolphins are expected to be resting their starters.
- The Jags will likely let Nathan Rourke showcase himself one last time.
I'll gladly take my chances with the Brewers as a -132 home favorite against the Padres. Milwaukee comes into this contest having won 6 in a row. The offense has been crushing opposing pitching during this stretch. Brewers have scored at least 6 runs in all 6 wins on this run. I like them to stay hot against the Padres' Pedro Avila, who I think was very fortunate to only give up 1 run in 4 innings in his start at Colorado. He allowed 5 hits and had 3 BBs for a 2.00 WHIP. Brewers will turn to Freddy Peralta, who is surging to the finish line with a 0.96 ERA and 0.750 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Give me Milwaukee -132!
In Max We Trust. That's what it comes down to. I like Max Scherzer to end the Rangers' season-high eight-game losing streak.
Scherzer is 39, but still effective with a 12-5 record and 3.77 ERA. He's in good form with a 2.39 ERA in his last three starts. The Rangers are 3-1 in Scherzer's starts with them.
Twins starter Joe Ryan has slowed down and also been injured since a hot early start. Ryan is 9-8 with a 4.43 ERA. This will be his first start in 24 days. He's been out with a groin strain.
Ryan wasn't in good form before his injury with a 5.52 ERA during his previous three outings.
The Commodores ran all over Hawaii last year, rushing for 404 yards and five TDs. Vanderbilt won by a score of 63-10. Is there any reason to expect Hawaii to be more competitive here, on the road on the other side of the country? This looks like a tough spot when you consider they have their home opener versus Stanford just a few days later. This game has blowout written all over it. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF!
Raiders HC Josh McDaniels is 6-0 in preseason play over the last two seasons. This season, they've defeated the Niners 34-7 and the Rams 34-17. The offense is clicking, and McDaniels has indicated that QB Jimmy Garoppolo and many other starters will see plenty of action here against the Cowboys.
Dallas HC Mike McCarthy has a 29-30 preseason record in his career, but he is 2-7 L3 seasons. Cowboys starting QB Dak Prescott has not seen any action this preseason and is expected to sit this one out as well.
