I took yesterday off just to grab a break here as my prep work for football season (NCAA and NFL) picks up quite a bit with each passing day. I'll have some season win totals for NFL and future bets posted up here at D Rock Sports soon enough, but for now it's still all about baseball as it's the only game in town. Getaway day brought plenty of afternoon action today in the majors but there are still a couple of spots I really like tonight. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts 'to win' on favorites and flat on underdogs. Play of the Day in Bold MLB pre All Star Break: 101-107-13 (+$691) MLB post All Ster Break: 12-9 (+$1313) CFL YTD: 4-3 (+$588) MLB Plays Seattle/Cleveland Over 6.5 (+114) $300 to win $342 Seattle's played eight straight games under the total sporting a 3-5 SU record in those contests. They've got their ace Felix Hernandez on the hill who's gone 'under' the total in each of his last five starts and eight of his last nine. Hernandez has 13 straight starts of 7+ innings pitched with 2 earned runs or less allowed and only one team has scored more than two on him during that time (Boston got 3). We've got an umpire that's gone under the total in seven of his last nine so what's not to like about this total play.... Oh yeah, I said 'over' 6.5 tonight as we are in the business of predicting the future not reporting on the past. Yes, all those numbers are great for the King, but streaks are made to be broken and tonight could be that night for Hernandez. Seattle [...]

Things have calmed down a bit after losing my last 2 team totals the last 2 days.  We here love offering you FREE plays each night and hope you continue to come visit the site everyday.  Let's just get right to the FREE plays tonight.  As always is my updated record by sport, TOP FREE play and by star rating. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 45-29-2 (60.8%) (+$5828) PRE-ALLSTAR BREAK MLB YTD 84-87-4 (49.1%) (+$374) POST-ALLSTAR BREAK MLB YTD 6-3  (66.6%%) (+$818) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 1-3 (25%) (+$20) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 26-21-1 (55.3%) 3* 58-64-1 (47.5%) 4* 42-39-3 (51.8%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports All lines are "to risk" TOP FREE play in bold Yankees/Texas UNDER 9 +101 (3*) - Ump is 9-11 to the under this season.  McCarthy has pitched very well since moving to New York 2-0,  1.45 ERA and he has only allowed three earned runs in 18 and two thirds with the Yankees.  Martinez pitched well against the Yankees last week only giving up three hits over 5 and a third and that game flew under the total only scoring three runs total.  Looking for more of the same here tonight. Brewers/Rays UNDER 7 -107 (2*)

Have to go back to Saturday when my last FREE play was and it lost.  Other than Saturdays lose my TOP FREE play has been cashing recently .  I've gone 9-4 last 13 TOP FREE plays and 7-2 last 9.  I'm going to continue to stick with Team Totals as I have been for most of the post all star break.   We are working hard at drocksports.com to bring you up-to-date sports betting information and winning advice and strategy's to you from us.  Please feel free to sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of the page to receive the latest news from the drocksports.com team.  Below is my up to date record by sport, TOP FREE play and by star rating.  Enjoy and lets cash another! 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 45-28-2 (61.6%) (+$6128) PRE-ALLSTAR BREAK MLB YTD 84-87-4 (49.1%) (+$374) POST-ALLSTAR BREAK MLB YTD 6-2  (75%%) (+$1118) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 1-3 (25%) (+$20) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 26-21-1 (55.3%) 3* 58-63-1 (47.9%) 4* 42-39-3 (51.8%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports All lines are "to risk" TOP FREE play in bold Philly's Team Total OVER 3 -124 (3*) - Colon has given up at least 3 runs in his previous four starts (17 in total).  Colon is 2-2 against the Philly's with a 4.26 ERA, not the greatest.  Ryan Howard has crushed Colon batting .500 with 2 homers and four RBI.  Can't put my trust in the seasoned vet with a very tired Mets team.  Also Sizemore has batted well as the leadoff man for the Phillies and has hit safely in each of his last eight games as that guy.

Split the board but made a bit of dough with my top play on the 'over' in Oakland cashing easily. It was a good week for free picks as I come out of the All Star break with a 12-8 record in baseball. I'm hoping this week can start off on a similar note with these plays on a short card tonight. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts 'to win' on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold MLB Pre All-Star Break: 101-107-13 (+$691) MLB Post All-Star Break: 12-8 (+$1628) CFL YTD: 4-3 (+$588) MLB plays Toronto/Boston Under 9 (-105) $315 to win $300 We've got a rematch of last week's 6-4 Jays win up in Toronto when these two starters (Dickey, Buchholz) settled down after rocky starts. That game was tied 3-3 after an inning of play as both pitchers hung some bad pitches up there to get crushed. I don't think that will be the case tonight in the rematch as both teams are coming off emotionally draining series'. For Toronto, they were in Yankee Stadium and won a series there for the first time in over two years. After dropping the opener on Friday, the Jays were on an 0-17 SU run in the Bronx until they broke through with a W on Saturday. It's quite a high at this point in the year for this team to finally get over that hurdle and you've got to wonder if they'll have much left for tonight. Boston was in Tampa taking on the Rays in a series that finished with some more questionable showmanship and players losing their cool. It's always interesting to see how teams [...]

Tough 1-2 day with my plays yesterday as my teams against those dominant lefties Sale and Kershaw didn't even score a run. Hamilton came through for me later though to salvage what I could, but I've already moved on to a couple of later games today. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts 'to win' on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold MLB Pre-All Star Break: 101-107-13 (+$691) MLB Post-All Star Break: 11-7 (+$1528) CFL YTD: 4-3 (+$588) MLB plays San Diego Padres ML (+156) $200 to win $312 Similar situation to Friday's opener in this series as I'm taking the team no one wants in a spot where they are a .500 team. After Friday's win against lefty Alex Wood, San Diego is now 11-11 SU against southpaw starters this season. Mike Minor has been far from good for the Braves of late with a 7.88 ERA over his last three and another short outing might not be that far away. Oakland/Texas Over 9 (-108) $324 to win $300 Was burned with the 'over' in this game yesterday as part of our premium package, but am going back with it tonight in the rare late evening start in Texas. Miles Mikolas has been terrible in his four starts for the Rangers this season, sporting a 7.48 ERA and watching an average of 6.2 runs score against him. He's not quite ready for the big stage but thanks to all the injuries he's been brought up to the rotation. He hasn't faced Oakland yet this year and the patient A's will wait for him to groove one. The A's are 11-3 O/U the last 11 times they've been laying [...]
