Followed my 2-0 Sunday with an 0-2 Monday and that never feels good. LA and Pittsburgh had a 5-2 score after the 4th inning and couldn't get one more run for my 'over' the rest of the way. No point in whining about what could have been though, as I've already moved on to today's board and found a few plays I like for you 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: 4-4 (+$169) CFL YTD: 2-3 (+$88) MLB Plays Pittsburgh ML (-118) $354 to win $300 The Pirates dropped the opener last night as they couldn't sustain any pressure late in the game. However, tonight they face a rusty Josh Beckett who hasn't been on the mound since July 6th and doesn't have the greatest numbers supporting him tonight. L.A is 2-5 SU the last seven times Beckett's been listed as an underdog and that goes hand-in-hand with his 2-7 SU record the last nine times he's face a winning team. He's clearly a guy who's best days are long behind him and the Pirates already beat him (2-1) earlier this season. I'm expecting Pittsburgh to jump on him early and with a 12-4 SU record in their last 16 as favorites and a 6-1 SU run going at home, the Pirates will grab that early lead and hold on to it the rest of the way. Miami ML (+165) $200 to win $330 Nothing like a bit of reverse line movement in favor of a big dog like Miami as people continue to back the overpriced [...]

It was a solid 2-0 day for my free selections yesterday as the Yankees managed to walk-off with a victory in the bottom of the 9th and the Sunday Night Baseball game sneaking over it's low 6.5 total. It's been a good start to the post-All Star break MLB season and I look to keep it going with these plays 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: 4-2 (+$719) CFL YTD: 2-3 (+$88) MLB Plays LAD/Pittsburgh Over 7.5 (-108) $324 to win $300 Pittsburgh just swept the Rockies over the weekend and face a Dodgers team that just dropped two of three in St Louis. With both teams expecting to be in the playoffs this year, tonight's game will have a playoff-type atmosphere, but neither has their starting pitcher in top form right now. L.A's Ryu has allowed 6.3 runs/game over his last three outings to the tune of a 5.28 ERA. He was the only winner for L.A in their four-game set at home against the Pirates this year (12-2) and after taking three of four from the Dodgers then, Pittsburgh is looking to get by Ryu tonight. Pittsburgh is 11-4 O/U in their last 15 series openers and they have a 4-0 O/U run going in their last four against winning teams. With 26 of the last 34 games between these two in Pittsburgh sailing over the total, tonight we will see some runs scored here. KC/Chicago Over 7 (-113) $226 to win $200 With Chicago's Chris Sale on the hill you are always going to [...]

It was a 2-2 day on Saturday with my selections but had some more tough luck on what could have been a 4-0 day. St Louis jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the first inning on L.A and didn't score again, making the over 7.5 a loser, while the over in the BC Lions game came close with only a FG needed for a push, but Montreal's offense didn't help and the Lions fumbled away a shot at a late FG in the waning minutes. That's how it goes sometimes though, but thanks to that romp by those Lions a 2-2 day still turned a small profit. It's on to Sunday's card with baseball being the only sport in town. There isn't much on the board that I like even with it being series finale day and numerous flip-flop totals in play. So here are two plays for you today.

Thanks to a blown save from a closer and a botched FG late to tie the game, a potential 4-0 night turned into a 2-2 one here on D Rock Sports. Baltimore had their game with Oakland all wrapped up before Josh Donaldson came in and smacked a three-run walk-off HR. Hamilton was in position to tie the game with a chip shot FG and the holder botched the ball, giving the Ti-Cats a 10-7 loss. That loss was still good enough to cover the spread and the Indians used a late rally themselves to blow away the Tigers, so it was still a profitable night for me. It's on to today though as I look to keep the winners coming.

Of the five games these two have played this year, four have stayed under the total, but that lone over came when Greinke was on the mound. L.A blew away the Cards 9-1 that day and with Joe Kelly making only his fifth start of the year, I like LA's chances of putting up a few runs again today. I say that because Kelly lasted only three innings in his return from the DL last week when the Brewers lit him up for six runs on seven hits. He's a [...]
