It was a nice 2-0 sweep with my plays last night and as I hit my first play of the day in what feels like forever. I’ve managed to stay afloat with my other plays winning, but it was nice to get a perfect day in my pocket again last night. It’s a much larger card today for this Friday, one I would like to wish my friends down south a very happy (and safe) 4th of July. I’m hoping to make your holiday weekend a little better with winners every day, starting with these plays tonight.

Miami ML (+136) $200 to win $272

Fading the Cardinals in their first game back at home after a long west coast road trip that saw them go 5-5 SU. But after two straight series against potential playoff opponents from L.A and San Fran, and two divisional series against the Pirates and Brewers up next, this is the definition of a sandwich spot for the Cards.

LAD/Colorado Over 9 (-118) $354 to win $300

Kershaw no-hit the Rockies the last time he faced them yet we have a total of 9 tonight. Yes, I know playing in Colorado will add a run or 1.5 runs to the total compared to Dodgers stadium, but this is a total that everyone sees as way too high with Kershaw on the hill. Add in the no-hitter last time he faced this lineup and it’s no wonder bettors are flocking to the low-side of this total.

But when something seems too good to be true it often is and I’m siding with the high side of this total.Not only is this number high at 9, it’s heavily favored at 9 too. Throughout my years of sports betting I’ve always found when you find a line that appears to be crazy, it’s best to side with the craziness.  That’s what I’m doing here as we see a shootout in Colorado.
