At 3 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Elks + the points over the Montreal Alouettes. The Alouettes are red-hot, having won five straight games, including their last four ATS. And they're 7-1, overall, this season. Unfortunately, that one loss was to these Elks, as Edmonton eked out a 32-29 win as a 3-point home underdog back in June. And that was Edmonton's 2nd straight upset win over the Alouettes, as they also won here last season, 23-22, as a 3-point road underdog. We'll look for Edmonton to make it three-in-a-row in this series, as Montreal is a miserable 19-36 ATS off back-to-back SU/ATS wins, including 7-19-1 ATS as a home favorite. Grab the points with the Elks. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 9 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Ottawa Redblacks + the points over Saskatchewan. The defending champs are 5-2 this season after a 28-26 win at Edmonton last week, while the Redblacks are 0-7. When these teams met last month in Ontario, the Roughriders outlasted Ottawa, 27-22, as a 4-point road favorite. Saskatchewan is favored by more than a touchdown in this rematch in Regina. We'll grab the points with the Redblacks, as defending Grey Cup champions have gone 32-49-2 ATS off a win, when they were playing a revenge-minded foe they defeated earlier in the season. Even better: winless teams have gone 7-0-1 ATS as underdogs of +7.5 (or more) points if they were playing with same-season revenge. Take Ottawa + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 8/6/2026 - WNBA | LOSER |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Fever over the Las Vegas Aces. The defending champion Aces are 21-9, and 3.5 games behind the Minnesota Lynx, who are 25-6. The Fever enter off a 108-100 setback at Minnesota, and are tied for the fourth-best record in the league, at 19-11, two games behind Las Vegas. When these two teams last met, 25 days ago in Sin City, the Fever blew out the Aces, 109-75. And that was the 2nd blowout win this season by Indiana against the Aces, as they won the first meeting -- also in Las Vegas -- 84-68. This will be in Indianapolis, where the Fever are an awesome 11-3 SU their last 14 games. And Indiana is a super 20-5-2 ATS at home when not favored by more than 3 points, including 12-1-1 ATS off a straight-up loss. Take the Fever. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 7:10 pm,
our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the Boston Red Sox. The
Red Sox have been on quite a tear recently, winning 24 of their last 27
games going back more than a month. They've also done alright in the
trading game, having bagged the second biggest prize before Monday's
deadline by acquiring All Star catcher Adley Rutschman from the Orioles
in exchange for three of their top prospects. This, from a team that was
all but left for dead no more than a month-and-a-half ago. They'll
send Sonny Gray to the mound tonight for the second game of this series
with the White Sox while Chicago will go with third-year starter Sean
Burke. It's a bit of a homecoming for Burke as the 26-year-old RH is
from nearby Shrewsbury and will be making his second career start at
Fenway Park. Burke is having a fantastic season, with a 7-5 record and
3.04 ERA in 22 games (18 starts) covering 124 1/3 innings with 140
strikeouts and only 100 hits allowed. Burke threw five solid innings
here in April, in an 8-4 White Sox victory. Take Chicago. As always,
good luck...Al McMordie. |
| 8/5/2026 - WNBA | WINNER |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Storm + the points over the New York Liberty. These two teams met two nights ago here, in New York. And
the Liberty came away with a 12-point triumph, 95-83. We'll side with Seattle in this re-match, as road underdogs have cashed 56% off a SU/ATS road loss when
playing the same opponent in back-to-back games. Moreover, the Liberty are an atrocious 3-28 ATS as a home favorite of -6 (or more) points vs. a revenge-minded foe off a SU loss. Take Seattle as a road underdog this evening. Good
luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 8/4/2026 - WNBA | WINNER |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Tempo + the points over Golden State. These two teams met two nights ago here, in San Francisco. And the Valkryies came away with a 17-point victory, 96-79. We'll grab the points, as road underdogs have cashed 56% off a SU/ATS road loss when playing the same opponent in back-to-back games. Even better: underdogs of +9 (or more) points have cashed 61.7% away from home off a loss by 17+ points. Take Toronto as a double-digit road underdog. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 8/4/2026 - MLB | LOSER |
At 8:05 pm,
our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Chicago Cubs. The
Tarik Skubal era in Los Angeles begins tonight as the two-time defending
AL Cy Young winner makes his first start as a Dodger (and first as a NL
player) in Chicago. The Dodgers may have won the deadline award as far
as pitching quality, but perhaps it was the Cubs who came away with the
most pitching quantity. Chicago acquired three starters (Gausman, Clay
Holmes, and Braxton Garrett) and one reliever (Ryan Zeferjahn). But
Skubal was the big prize and the Dodgers are expecting big things from
their new ace, especially in light of the fact that three of their best
starters are still out with injury (Snell, Glasnow, and the newly
acquired Kris Bubic). Despite his earlier injury that caused him to
miss six weeks, Skubal still has dominant numbers with a 7-5 record and
2.79 ERA with a 0.91 WHIP in 16 starts covering 96 2/3 innings. Skubal
has some pretty solid numbers against the Cubs in two previous starts
although this will be his first-ever appearance at Wrigley Field. Take
the Dodgers. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
| 8/3/2026 - WNBA | LOSER |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Storm + the points over the New York Liberty. Both of these teams are on extended losing streaks. Seattle has lost its last eight games, straight-up, while New York is 0-8-1 against-the-spread in its last nine games. The good news, though, for Seattle bettors is that the Storm are 5-2-1 ATS in those eight losses (and 17-13-1 on the season). Meanwhile, the Liberty are a lousy 11-19-1 ATS for the season. We'll grab the points, as New York has been especially poor when laying 5+ points, going 6-13 ATS, while Seattle's 12-3-1 ATS when getting more than seven points. And the Storm are 40-13-3 ATS as an underdog off a loss vs. a foe off a SU win. Take Seattle. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 8/2/2026 - WNBA | LOSER |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Connecticut Sun + the points over the Dallas Wings. The Sun are on a 4-game losing streak, and play this game with revenge from a 3-point loss to Dallas last month, as a 6.5-point home underdog. We'll grab the points with the Sun, as they're 94-70 ATS off back-to-back point spread defeats. Even better: Dallas is a dreadful 27-53 ATS vs. revenge-minded foes off a loss. And the Wings are 28-67 ATS vs. foes off 3+ losses. Finally, the Sun fall into 121-74 and 158-90 ATS systems of mine that play on certain double-digit underdogs. Grab the points with Connecticut. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 8/1/2026 - MLB | LOSER |
At 7:15 pm,
our selection is on the Cleveland Guardians over the Arizona
Diamondbacks. There's no question that young Parker Messick has been a
huge asset for the Cleveland Guardians. And the Guardians are hoping
that the 24-year-old, second year rookie RHP will continue to be an
asset for them for a long time as Messick doesn't reach free agency
until 2032. Messick has not only helped his team immensely, but on an
individual level, he was named an All Star for the first time and has
put himself firmly in the AL Rookie of the Year running. But Messick
can't do it all and don't be surprised if Cleveland makes a move or two
for some starting pitching before Monday's trade deadline as it sits
three games behind first place Chicago. But for now, Messick will
shoulder most of the load of this young rotation and tonight he goes out
in his 22nd start of the season. Messick is 8-6 with a very impressive
2.59 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 122 strikeouts and 36 walks in just over
125 innings. And he has allowed just one earned run in each of his last
four starts. Take the Guardians. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
