Ricky's 7* 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.

- The Reds are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games.

- Andrew Abbott is 3-1 in his last 4 starts for the Reds.

- The Pirates are 6-1 ATS in their last games.

Verdict: The Value is on the home favorite.
