At 4:05 pm,
our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the San Francisco Giants.
After coming so close to winning a Cy Young award in his mid-twenties
with the White Sox and Red Sox, Chris Sale finally took home the coveted
hardware two seasons ago with the Braves at age 35. He might not win
another, but Sale is out to prove that he still has plenty left in the
tank and he's doing just that in 2026. In 14 starts, Sale has an 8-5
record with a 2.14 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 99 strikeouts and 21 walks in
84 innings. He goes back out this afternoon at Oracle Park and if he
keeps putting up quality starts for his first place team, Sale will
likely find himself an All-Star for the 10th time in his career. As
good as his overall numbers are this season, Sale has been at his
absolute best in daytime games as he is 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA and 0.84
WHIP in four afternoon starts (vs. 5-5 and 2.49 in 10 starts under the
lights). For some reason, the lowly Giants have had the Braves' number
recently (winning five of the last six meetings), but look for Sale to
salvage this series today. Take Atlanta. As always, good luck...Al

At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Chicago Cubs. Brandon Woodruff returned from a shoulder injury earlier this week, and stifled the Cincinnati Reds over six innings. He didn't allow a baserunner in the first five innings, and struck out 10, while allowing just 1 hit and 0 bases on balls. Milwaukee is 48-21 (+13.9 net games) at home with Woodruff on the mound. The Cubs have struggled this season in daytime games, going just 17-18 (minus 8.4 net games), while the Brew Crew are 19-11 (+4.4 net games) in the afternoon. Take Milwaukee. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Wings + the points over Minnesota. The Wings are 11-7 on the season, with two of their losses coming to the 14-4 Lynx. We'll grab the points with Dallas, as .500 (or better) teams have cashed 58.5% at home when playing with double-revenge. Even better: the Lynx have covered just seven of 24 road games vs. double-revenge-minded, winning teams, while Dallas has cashed 73% as a winning team when playing with double-revenge since 2006. Grab the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 1:40 pm,
our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the New York Mets.
The Mets became the third MLB team this season to fire its manager when
Carlos Mendoza was relieved of his duties this past Friday. The
Phillies can feel at least somewhat responsible for Mendoza's demise,
having out-scored the Mets 27-12 this season prior to yesterday's win by
New York. Jesus Luzardo will go to the mound for Philly in today's
series finale. Luzardo is coming into this -- his 17th start of the
season -- off three strong outings, including his 13-strikeout
performance in his last start against the Nats. And for whatever
reason, the veteran southpaw has done by far his best work this season
away from Citizens Bank Park. In eight road starts, Luzardo is 4-0 with
a superb 1.52 ERA with 11.6 strikeouts per nine innings (61 in 47 1/3
innings). Compare this to his 2-4 record and 6.60 ERA in eight home
starts and you can bet the Phils will try to schedule him for as many
road games as possible. The Phils are 6-0 in Luzardo's last six starts
going back to May 25. Take Philadelphia. As always, good luck...Al
McMordie. |

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers over the San Diego Padres. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will get the start for the Dodgers, and he'll be looking for a bit of revenge. When he last faced the Padres, back on May 18, he was a tough-luck loser. Yamamoto allowed just 3 hits and 1 run in 7 innings, but the Dodgers were blanked by San Diego, 1-0. Yamamoto's mound opponent tonight will be Randy Vasquez, and Vasquez's ERA over his last six outings is 7.08. And the Padres went 1-5 in those six games. The Dodgers are 25-11 (+7.1 net games) in Yamamoto's 36 road starts. Take Los Angeles. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Calgary Stampeders and British Columbia Lions to go UNDER the total. The Lions lost last week, 41-27, to Hamilton. Off that poor defensive game, we'll look for a better effort this evening, and for this game to go UNDER the total. Indeed, teams that allowed more than 40 points in their previous game have gone UNDER 59.7% since 2006 if the O/U line was 53+ points in the current game. Take the Stamps and Lions UNDER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Boston Red Sox. It may be the Yankees that are the first place team and the Red Sox that are in the cellar, but nevertheless Boston won the first two games of this four-game series at Fenway. No doubt New York is happy to have RHP Gerrit Cole back on the mound. The 35-year-old former Cy Young winner missed all of 2025 after undergoing Tommy John surgery but now he is fully recovered and has joined a rotation that it's safe to say is better than the one he pitched with before his injury. Cole started out hot as a pistol with two shutout appearances in May. June has been a little different however and it may be that the Yanks want to manage Cole's pitch count a little more going forward. Still, his overall numbers this season are very good -- a 3.62 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 29 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings. Cole's best career numbers are with four days' rest and that's what he has going into his seventh start of the season this afternoon. Take the Yankees. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Dream over the Golden State Valkyries. This is the 2nd of back-to-back meetings in San Francisco. Golden State won the game on Wednesday, 77-66. We'll take Atlanta in this rematch, as the Dream are 142-106-1 when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season, including 72-45 ATS on the road. Take Atlanta. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 6/26/2026 - Canadian Football | LOSER |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Toronto/Saskatchewan game. Last week, the Argos rolled up 44 points in a 20-point blowout win over Ottawa, while Saskatchewan upset Calgary, 40-37. With both teams involved in very high-scoring games last week, the knee jerk reaction might be to look for another high-scoring game here. But consider that match-ups between two teams, whose previous games totaled 60+ points, have gone UNDER 60% since 2006. Additionally, the Roughriders are 10-5 UNDER at home their last 15. Take the UNDER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 9 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Toronto Argonauts + the points over Saskatchewan. With the World Cup Soccer games taking over BMO Field, Toronto has been saddled with seven straight road games to start the season. The Argos are 1-1 so far, including a 44-24 win last week at Ottawa. They'll try to make it two-in-a-row tonight, as they travel to Regina to take on the defending Grey Cup champions. Saskatchewan is off to a solid 2-0 start after upsetting Calgary last Saturday, 40-37. We'll fade the Roughriders here, as defending champs are a poor 19-38-1 ATS as a home favorite in non-division games. Even worse: if they're off back-to-back wins, our 19-38-1 stat crashes to 3-14-1 ATS. Grab the points with Toronto. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
