Ricky's 1* play on CIN.

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.

- Cincinnati are 5-3-3 in their last 11 home matches.

- Cincinnati are 3-2-1 in their last 6 matches.

- Colorado has conceded 16 goals in their last 10 matches.

Verdict: The Value is on the home favorite.

#25 NHL Free Play Carolina Hurricanes -176 over NY Islanders, Saturday 2 ET - The Hurricanes are already up 3-0 and we see this series ending today on Saturday. The Islanders had an unfortunate draw here in terms of the playoff seeding and are simply out-classed here. The Canes are ready to move on and rest up for the next series and will not let up here. The Islanders lost the first two games by a multi-goal margin and though the next one was only a 3-2 loss, the Isles trailed all the way. The fact they fell just short in a tight one-goal loss is a tough defeat to come back from. Had they got back into the series we might see this one differently but now down 3 games to none, the Isles won't quit of course but their confidence level is shot and the Canes want to end this now. Carolina has had some recent playoff disappointment and they appear to be on a mission. This one is a bit too pricey to make our premium pick listing for Saturday but the Hurricanes are absolutely worth a look here in Game 4 per the above. Lay it!

Cleveland at Orlando 1:00 ET
Cavaliers/Magic (UNDER)- The Orlando Magic hope for more home-court dominance in their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series. After being limited to 83 and 86 points in series-opening losses at Cleveland, the Magic regained their offensive footing on their home floor Thursday night, shooting 51.1 percent in a 121-83 romp that narrowed their series deficit to 2-1. Orlando also dominated the visitors on the boards, earning a 51-32 overall advantage while also retrieving 14 of their own misses, turning the offensive rebounds into an additional 22 points. The losing team has yet to score more than 86 points in the series....

This looks like a good spot to back the San Diego Padres to bounce back from back-to-back losses while also fading the Philadelphia Phillies, who are coming off back-to-back wins, the most recent a 9-3 win in the opener of this three-game series.

This is also a potential letdown game for Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez, who has pitched 22 scoreless innings through his last three starts. At one point, the wheels will come off, and why not here against a Padres team that has averaged a healthy 5.5 R/9 through its last five games.

PSP's Data Driven 1* Free Pick.

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind.

By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the Underdog. Crystal Palace are 3-0 in their last 3 matches. Fulham are 1-3-1 in their last 5 matches.

This is a free play on Manchester United.

You would expect to see the Red Devils a bigger favorite here at Old Trafford against a bottom feeder like Burnley, but we might see some desperation as Burnley looks to avoid relegation. Manchester United though still has plenty to prove, and Erik Ten Hag might be immediately sacked if they lose at home to Burnley. The Red Devils are 4-0-1 versus Burnley in the last five meetings, and these teams are separated by a goal differential of 33 in favor of Manchester United.

Vegas will lock down on defense at home where they play their best defense. Their goaltending, penalty kills, and experience are going to limit the Stars chances at any goals. The Stars are producing less than 2 goals on offense during this series and they won't get many quality shots on net. Dallas has played their last four of six road games against Vegas to the Under while also playing their last five of six games to the Under against opponents. Head to Head, these two teams have played ten of fifteen games to the Under against each other and Vegas has generally played to the Under at home all season where they went 16-24-1 (O/U) for the season. Goals will be at a premium in this tense third game so expect the total to fall under the number.

Take the Under the Total -6.
