After a strong week, it was a disastrous last day of the first half of baseball for me. An 0-4 Sunday stung badly and the All-Star break was a welcomed occurrence. I'm happy to be back at it tonight though and with it being Friday, I've found another CFL play I really like for you football fans. 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: 0-0  CFL YTD: 0-1 (-200) MLB plays Cleveland ML (+137) $300 to win $411 The Indians start the second half trailing the Tigers by 7.5 games in the AL Central so this is a must-win series for them right out of the gate. Detroit went into Cleveland at the end of June and brought the brooms out on the Tribe, so Cleveland does have the revenge angle on their side tonight, but that's not the only reason I've jumped on this play. First, off, we've seen some movement on this line in Cleveland's favor despite being in the minority. That's always a good sign when you are playing decent teams as underdogs and tonight should be no different. As a team Cleveland is 4-0 SU the last four times they've been a dog of +150 or less and they are 4-1 SU in their last five as a dog of any price. Trevor Bauer has been stellar in this role too as he's 5-2 SU the last seven times he's been a dog of +150 or less. With the revenge angle and motivation clearly on the side of Cleveland tonight as they try to catch [...]

It was another solid 3-1 day for me on Saturday with another top play (on the Dodgers) cashing for me. It's been a good little run for me with those top plays at 7-1-2 over my last 10, but I'm looking to end the first half of the MLB season on a high note today. It's the ultimate getaway day for players as the majority of them have three full days off away from the team, the game and the hotel rooms, ans will be able to spend some quality time with their families. That means we shouldn't expect too many games to last long tonight as the players are going to make the most of their free time. In fact, on this day (final day before All-star break) we've seen 'unders' go 14-27-4 the past three seasons, so expect a lot of games to stay low. Those records were 6-9 O/U (2013), 4-9-2 O/U (2012), and 4-9-2 O/U (2011), so with numbers like that I wouldn't be opposed to placing a bet on every single 'under' today and look to be up a few units. However, I'm hoping to find the best ones for you with my plays today so we can head into the downtime with some padded bankrolls.
