EPL Saturday Free Pick Arsenal -1 goal -112 vs Leicester @ 10 AM ET - As mentioned in last week's write-up on Arsenal, this club has looked very strong entering this campaign. Conversely, Leicester was inactive in the off-season market and then began their season by blowing a 2-goal lead and settling for a 2-2 draw with Brentford. This is a classic case of two clubs going opposite directions right now plus Arsenal is at home. They are a heavy favorite on the money line for a reason so we'll lay the 1 goal with the goal line to avoid laying big juice here. Free Pick ARSENAL -1 goal -112 |

MLB Friday 10* Top Play OVER 8 in Los Angeles Angels vs Minnesota Twins @ 9:38 ET - Action on pitchers. I will mention the pitchers here but this is more about the teams and lineups and current trending rather the starting pitchers. So first off lets talk about the fact the Twins are on a crazy run in road games in which 16 of their last 17 road games have totaled at least 8 runs. By the way, only 1 landed on 8 runs (the current total of this game). So the fact is if you had played over 8 in each of Minnesota's last 17 road games you had a 15-1-1 record! Now you know why I am not too worried about who the pitchers are. Yes, I know the Angels have a tendency to not score very well but they are at home here and have averaged 4 runs per game last dozen games. I am fully expecting at least a 5-4 final in this one as I expect both teams to fare well at the plate with the most likely result being double digits in runs scored. The Twins start recently acquired Mahle and he allowed 3 homers in his first start with Minnesota. Also, he has a 4.76 ERA in night games this season and has been hit 49 points higher under the lights compared to in day action. I know the Angels Sandoval has great numbers this season and is off a start in which he did not allow many hits but he did walk 4 plus hit a pair of batters. Keep in mind, all this after an 0-5 July in which he compiled a 6.20 ERA. This one should fly over the total. 10* OVER 8 in LA Angels |

MLB Friday 8* Toronto Blue Jays Money Line -153 vs Cleveland Guardians @ 7:07 ET - Action on pitchers. I like the Blue Jays with the better overall lineup and home field edge here regardless of the starting pitchers. But I will begin the write-up there because the expected starters do give us extra value. It is all about the home/road dichotomy here. Quantrill is great at home and bad on the road and the same holds true for Berrios. The Guardians Quantrill is 2-5 with a 4.96 ERA and a .314 BAA in his 9 road outings this season. The Blue Jays Berrios is 6-0 with a 3.23 ERA and a .238 BAA in his 11 home starts this season. Toronto has struggled recently but was on the road. At home the Jays have won 9 of last 12. As for Cleveland, they have won 4 straight road games but had lost 12 of last 18 away from home prior to that. I see a lot of value here with fading a Guardians team that plays .500 road ball generally and grabbing a home team that is 34-21 as a host this season. Will reduce my rating to a non-top play here because we must lay some price but I still feel we have great line value here. 8* TORONTO -153 |

NFL Friday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Eagles +110 @ New York Jets @ 7:30 ET - The spread on this game is a pick'em and as of very early gameday morning you can even find some even money and plus money on the money line with the home team Eagles here. I like the value here. This is the only home game that Philly has in the preseason. They are the better team and the deeper team. Yes this is preseason but the Eagles depth and overall team quality will shine through and I think they want to get a win here at home. Philly will not be home again until September 19th when, in week 2 of regular season, they host the Vikings. Again, this is only preseason but I expect a strong effort from the deeper team. The Jets were horrid as the season went on last year and ended up dead last in defensive categories and nearly dead last on offense too. New York is just a very bad team and the Eagles tied them last year and lost 6-0 the year before (in pre-season games) and they will get a little pre-season revenge this year. Those games were in New York and now they meet in Philly and the 3rd time is the charm. 10* PHILADELPHIA +110 |

CFL Friday 10* Top Play Hamilton Tiger-Cats +1.5 vs Toronto Argonauts @ 7:30 ET - Yes, Hamilton lost at Toronto last week but the Ti-Cats outgained the Argos and blew a 4th quarter lead. Toronto won the game courtesy of an INT returned for a TD and a punt returned for a TD. Yes I know that QB Dane Evans is out for Hamilton for this game and Matthew Shiltz is getting this start. He has been in the league for 5 seasons and I like him to get the job here. In fact, when in Montreal he was called upon for a spot start in a similar situation and played very well against these same Argonauts. Once again, look for him to beat Toronto here. The Tiger-Cats defense played well last week and the Argos defense got some key plays but overall allowed a lot more yardage than did the Ti-Cats. We have excellent line value here with the hungry home dog in this rivalry game and seeing the Argonauts where they want to be...first place in the division. 10* HAMILTON +1.5 |

Romania Liga 1 Friday Soccer 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +115 in FC Arges vs U Craiova 1948 @ 2:30 ET - Both clubs have seen their matches average 3 goals so far this season. Both clubs have seen all 4 matches total at least 2 goals and each club has seen 3 of their 4 matches total at least 3 goals. With both clubs off 2-1 losses last week, you know they will push extra hard for the victory this week. U Craiova 1948 has had only 1 draw in 4 matches this season and FC Arges has not had any match end in a draw this season. That said, and with it being unlikely that either club will deliver a clean sheet here, I see this match as having strong odds for ending up at least a 2-1 final and that puts us into the win column here! 10* OVER 2.5 +115 in FC Arges |
