Ricky's 7* play on TB.

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 5-1 in their last 6 home games with the total set at 11.0 or higher.

- The Rays are 24-8 in their last 32 during game 1 of a series.

- The Rays are 1-5 in their last 6 games with the total set at 6.5 or lower.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.
