It was a tough 1-3-1 night last night as my shot with the Padres didn’t pay off. It was the losing side, but San Diego did everything they could to lose that game as 4 errors ended up being the difference in a 2-1 game. My play on Texas couldn’t have been worse and I missed out on numerous chances to get 1 more run in San Francisco to turn that push into a winner. It’s on to tonight’s action though and for those that are excited for football, I’ve got a play in the CFL play on tonight’s board.

MLB Plays

Pittsburgh/Cincinnati Over 7.5 (-115) $345 to win $300

I’m going against the majority here as this total has moved up from the key number of 7 despite having 80% or more of the betting action all day on the low side. Everyone is liking the under because the Reds are without some of their big name players, but they’ve scored 4+ in their last six games and with the Pirates bats coming alive in a 9-1 win last night, this game should sail well over this total.

NYY/Baltimore Under 8.5 (-107) $214 to win $200

Siding with the movement here as coming off that key number of 9 is something I can’t ignore.

Seattle ML (-135) $405 to win $300

It’s not often you get King Felix as a home favorite at this short price, but against the best team in the majors (Oakland), that’s the situation. Oakland is 1-8 SU the last nine times they’ve been a road dog and have a 7-21 SU record in their last 28 against the King. those numbers are good enough for me to back the Mariners with their best pitcher tonight.

CFL Plays

Ottawa ML (+175) $200 to win $350

Ottawa is back in the CFL this year and like many expansion teams, bettors look to fade them early and often. They are in Edmonton tonight to take on the undefeated Eskimos and things couldn’t be going much better for Edmonton thus far.

However, this is similar to my Padres play last night (hopefully with a different result) as everyone is looking to back Edmonton tonight in what looks like an easy win for the Eskimos. Yet, the spread has dropped from it’s opening number of six to four right now and rather than take the points, I’m going out on a limb and saying the Redblacks find a way to shock the CFL leader tonight.
