This is a play on the SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS for our CFL Opening Enforcer. Saskatchewan opened last season 4-0 before imploding with a 1-7-1 run before closing 4-1 to make the postseason. The Roughriders picked up a win over B.C. before their season came to an end at Winnipeg and there are high expectations this season. Their defense was one of the best in the league last season and it is expected to be even better and they are just hoping the offense can help out. A lot of that will come down to quarterback Trevor Harris who actually had a great season with a 91.5 passer grade which was No. 2 in the CFL but he is old and is injury prone so now is the time to back him when he is fully healthy. Ottawa was a pleasant surprise last season as it went 9-8-1 after going 14-54 the previous four seasons and made the playoffs and while it was blown out by Toronto, it is something to build on. The Redblacks big concern is their defense, namely in the passing game, but also at quarterback with Dru Brown who struggled early in the season and while he finished strong in his last three games, that was a small sample size and now he hits the road for the season opener. 10* (702) Saskatchewan Roughriders

This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Game One is finally here and we keep it simple. This Oklahoma City team does have a lot to prove but there is so much in its favor. We are not touching the series price since there is no value and we are staying away from Indiana overall and in Game One. Per Action, over the last 50 years, 11 teams have been -600 or higher series favorites and they have gone 10-1 with the 2004 Pistons being the only exception. Additionally, the Game One underdogs have been atrocious, going 2-18 while covering just three of those over the last 20 years and when getting more than five points, they are 0-12 while covering just one of those. This Pacers roster is solid but for everything they have advantages most of the time including bench, depth, taking care of the ball and pace, the Thunder do it better. As with most home teams to start the Finals, the Thunder will be out to make a statement in Game One. 10* (502) Oklahoma City Thunder

This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PIRATES for our I.L. Game of the Month. Houston is coming off a 3-0 loss last night and has scored three runs or less in six straight games where it is 3-3. Framber Valdez is having another great season with a 3.12 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 12 outings but it does come with an asterisk. He has significant home/road splits as Valdez has a 2.20 ERA in six home starts where the Astros are 5-1 and a 4.14 ERA in six road starts where they are 3-3 so the value of the venue makes a difference. Pittsburgh is having a rough season but that win last night was a momentum builder and the Pirates have gone 4-3 in their last seven games. They have struggled on the road with a 9-22 record but are a much more respectable 14-17 at home and catching a solid number with Mitch Keller. He has a 3.73 ERA overall and the contrarian aspect is that the Pirates have lost eight of his last nine starts and that is a streak we love to fade so he is the take. 10* (922) Pittsburgh Pirates

This is a play on the BALTIMORE ORIOLES as part of our MLB Afternoon Triple Play. Baltimore is coming off a 3-2 win on Wednesday and will be going for the series weep on Thursday which is going to make Seattle a very popular play today to avoid that. It has been a disaster for the Orioles which are still 12 games under .500 but we love the lineup and the value. Zach Eflin had allowed 12 runs in two starts over 10.1 innings but came back with his best outing of the season albeit against the White Sox but it was his fifth time in seven starts allowing three runs or less, posting a 2.40 ERA in those games. Seattle has lost seven of 10 and is a half-game behind Houston in the American League West. We are fading Bryan Woo which is a contrarian side because he has been great with a 2.82 ERA in 11 starts and he is even better at home which is going to make him popular at a large favorite price. 10* (913) Baltimore Orioles

This is a play on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS as part of our MLB Afternoon Triple Play. Toronto had a five-game winning streak snapped with an 8-3 loss on Tuesday but bounced back on Wednesday with a 2-1 walk off win to carry some momentum into the series finale. Chris Bassitt has been hit or miss as he has allowed one run or less in six starts while allowing four or five runs in five other starts including giving up five runs in each of his last two starts so it is bounce back time. He has a 4.86 ERA in six road starts and a 2.73 ERA in six home starts. The Phillies have been struggling, losing five of six games and have fallen into second place in the National League East, a game and a half behind the Mets, as they just have not been hitting the ball. Jesus Luzardo started the season with 11 straight starts of allowing three runs or less before giving up 12 runs in his last outing and that could be a mental challenge. 10* (920) Toronto Blue Jays

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS as part of our MLB Afternoon Triple Play. This is the first game of a Thursday doubleheader following a Wednesday postponement. Kansas City won the opener on Tuesday as it overcame a 7-2 deficit to win 10-7 and the Royals have been all over the place since a 16-2 run that ended My 9. Noah Cameron was supposed to start yesterday and gets the Game One nod and his rookie season has gotten off to a great start with a 1.05 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in four starts, all quality outings. St. Louis has lost two straight and is 3-4 in its last seven games to fall 4.5 games behind the Cubs in the National League Central. Miles Mikolas is coming off his first poor start in a while as he allowed four runs in four innings against the Orioles after allowing three runs or less in eight straight outings. St. Louis has won his last six starts so get value there by going contrarian. 10* (925) Kansas City Royals (Gm 1)

This is a play on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS as part of our MLB Wednesday Triple Play. Chicago took the series opener on Tuesday to make it three straight wins and victories in seven of its last eight. The pitching has led the way but the offense will be challenged tonight so they are hoping for another strong start from Matthew Boyd. He has a 3.08 ERA through 11 starts but a 1.26 WHIP which is still solid but does not correlate well with the ERA and he brings in a 19.1% K:BB%. Washington has dropped two straight following a four-game winning streak and it is catching nearly the same price tonight despite having a much closer pitching matchup. It can be argued Mackenzie Gore has been the better of the two despite complete opposite records as he brings in a 3.16 ERA and 1.20 WHIP to go along with a 28.7% K:BB% which is No. 2 among 80 qualified starters. 10* (956) Washington Nationals

This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS as part of our MLB Wednesday Triple Play. The Guardians lost a tough one last night as they could not solve Carlos Rodon who won his seventh straight decision and they went down despite outhitting the Yankees 7-5. Luis L. Ortiz has posted a 4.40 ERA but this is due to a pair of bad starts where he allowed 12 runs in 10 innings and take those out and the ERA drops to 3.10. His 3.74 xFIP tells a better story and that is No. 49 out of 128 starters that have gone at least 40 innings. The Yankees have now won 11 of their last 14 games to take a 6.5-game lead in the American League East as they are now 15 games over .500 but at just +2.82 in profits showing how overpriced they remain. Clarke Schmidt has a 3.95 ERA through eight starts but he has a 4.21 xFIP which is No. 80 among those 128 starters to go along with a 12.3% K:BB%. 10* (965) Cleveland Guardians

This is a play on the TEXAS RANGERS as part of our MLB Wednesday Triple Play. Tampa Bay took Game One following a 2-2 series split at Houston and the Rays are back to two games over .500 to move into a second place tie in the American League East. They are laying a big number for a second straight game as they turn to Shane Baz who has settled back down with a pair of decent starts following an awful stretch. His ERA is back down to 4.92 with a 1.38 WHIP which shows his struggles as does his 4.47 xERA which is better than his top line but below average. The Rangers have been all over the place as the offense continues to struggle as they have put up two runs or less in five of their last seven including getting shutout twice. Kumar Rocker is back after a stint on the IL and he looks to be healthy after a pair of rehab starts with an 8:1 K:BB across seven shutout innings. 10* (967) Texas Rangers

This is a play on the SAN DIEGO PADRES as part of our MLB Monday Double Play. San Diego is coming off a 4-2 homestand following series wins over the Marlins and Pirates and while the competition level goes up, so does the price as the Padres are now huge underdogs. Stephen Kolek entered the rotation in May and put up a 4.11 ERA following a rough final outing against the Marlins to push his home ERA to 9.58 in two starts at PETCO Park but hits the road where his ERA is 1.33 in three starts while posting a 1.13 WHIP and allowing a .222 batting average. The Giants are back home following a long roadtrip where they went 4-5 in Washington, Detroit and Miami and the offense did nothing, scoring no more than four runs in any game while averaging only 2.0 rpg. Logan Webb has been the ace of the staff as he has posted a 2.82 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 12 starts but is paying the price as usual for being the No. 1 arm in the rotation. The Giants have lost money in his games overall, going 6-6 with three losses of -151 or higher and he is laying in that range once again. 10* (955) San Diego Padres

<p>

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS as part of our MLB Monday Double Play. The Angels are coming off a series loss in Cleveland and have dropped seven of eight games but are catching a nice number here as they remain on the road where they are just one game under .500. Tyler Anderson has had a good season with a 3.39 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 11 starts with his two worst coming in two outings against the Dodgers and Athletics right prior to his last start against the Yankees. He has allowed three runs or less in nine of his 11 starts overall and his one issue has been with the long ball but we are not concerned with that in this spot. Boston took two of three against the Braves, we had them the wrong game in the sandwich, which snapped a five-game losing streak and the Red Sox are still three games under .500. Richard Fitts has been a very good addition to the rotation in his limited outings as he has a 2.70 ERA and 1.10 WHIP through his first four starts but he has not gone overly deep and the Red Sox are 0-4 in his four starts and is overpriced in this spot. 10* (959) Los Angeles Angels
