Here are today’s free MLB picks on the upcoming games.  I hope you use these to test out the detailed analysis provided by the handicapper, since it’s likely not the strongest selections they have for the day.

The free picks are typically strong leans that were just not quite a sure enough of a thing to be posted on the premium side, or they are opinions on big games that bettors typically want an action bet on, but the handicapper doesn’t recommend throwing serious money down on.

If you want the stronger premium selections, you’ll have to sign up for a subscription from one of your favorite handicappers.

Ricky's 1* play on CHW.

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 White Sox are 7-3 in the last 10 head to head meetings.

- Erick Fedde is 5-0 in his last 5 starts for the White Sox.

- The White Sox are 3-0 in the last 3 head to head meetings at home.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.
