The Interleague Power total is o the OVER 11 runs in the Kansas City ant Colorado game. Rotation numbers 975/976 at 8:40 eastern. Dont be scared of the high total. Rob notes that road teams of less than +140 like KC that have a total of 11 or higher and are off a road dog loss and are taking on a rested opponent that is ff a road loss and is under .500 for the year are PERECT to the over since 2004. The average total in these games is 11.8 and the average final score is 16.3 runs setting up ne of the Largest Z- Factors we have seen all year. Wacha goes for KC and he has been hit a bit over his last 3 starts allowing 9 runs in 17 innings. His teams have lost all 3 of his starts here at Coors. Sugano goes for Colorado and he has an ERA approaching 7 over his last 3 starts. KC is 8-0 over as a road favorite. Colorado is 5 of 6 over as a home dog with rest off a road loss. Look for this game to pay over the total
7/31/2026 - WNBA	LOSER
The WNBA Blowout is on Atlanta. Game 836 at 7:30 eastern. The Dream were the beneficiaries of some nightmarish late calls in their win over Dallas and now they are home for Seattle who has lost 24 of 30 on the season. Tow of those losses were to Atlanta both by double digits . Seattle has allowed 100+ in 3 of their last 4 games. Tonight they are in a System that plays against road dogs that had 4+ days off prior to their last game and lost at home last out, if they are taking on a team like the Dream that has rest, had 10 or more assists and won on he road last out. With an average line of +9 thee road dogs lose by a 90-71 score since 2011 and are 0-11 to the spread. Play on Atlanta
7/31/2026 - Canadian Football	LOSER
The Friday night CFL Hot Side is on Ottawa plus the points. Game 874 at 7:30 eastern. The Redblacks are in a solid 9-0 system that plays on home dogs off a home loss vs an opponent off a home favored win and a Prior win if the total is 49 or higher. Ottawa is 0-6 but has been competitive of late at home losing the last 2 by 7 points combined. They lost to Montreal by 2 as a 9 point dog a few weeks ago and this game should be very competitive as well. Montreal has won 4 straight but they are at a disadvantage rest wise as they played on Sunday the 26rth and the Reds played on the 19th giving them 12 days off. Look for Ottawa to cover SU: 5-4 ATS: 9-0 Sep 21, 2007 07:30 Fri 13 2007 Tiger Cats Stampeders home 0-7 9-10 4-1 11-2 24-20 6.5 52.5 4 10.5 -8.5 1.0 -9.5 W W U 0 Oct 03, 2008 07:00 Fri 15 2008 Argonauts Lions home 0-7 14-10 3-7 3-0 20-24 6 51 -4 2 -7 -2.5 -4.5 L W U 0 Jul 30, 2009 09:00 Thu 5 2009 Elks Alouettes home 3-6 9-3 7-0 14-10 33-19 6.5 55 14 20.5 -3 8.75 -11.75 W W U 0 Sep 04, 2009 10:30 Fri 10 2009 Lions Alouettes home 0-0 10-7 0-1 9-4 19-12 6 55 7 13 -24 -5.5 -18.5 W W U 0 Nov 13, 2016 01:00 Sun 21 2016 Tiger Cats Elks home 3-7 0-11 6-3 12-3 21-24 3.5 55.5 -3 0.5 -10.5 -5.0 -5.5 L W U 0 Jul 20, 2017 07:30 Thu 5 2017 Tiger Cats Elks home 8-6 7-7 10-0 3-18 28-31 3.5 52 -3 0.5 7 3.75 3.25 L W O 0 Jul 05, 2018 09:00 Thu 4 2018 Roughriders Tiger Cats home 0-4 6-3 3-3 9-3 18-13 6 51 5 11 -20 -4.5 -15.5 W W U 0 Oct 08, 2018 01:00 Mon 17 2018 Alouettes Stampeders home 0-0 6-0 0-0 0-12 6-12 13.5 51 -6 7.5 -33 -12.75 -20.25 L W U 0 Jul 03, 2025 09:00 Thu 5 2025 Stampeders Blue Bombers home 15-3 14-3 0-3 8-7 37-16 4.5 52.5 21 25.5 0.5 13.0 -12.5 W W O 0 Jul 31, 2026 07:30 Fri 9 2026 Redblacks Alouettes home - - - - - 7.0 60.5
7/30/2026 - WNBA	WINNER
The WNBA Late night Banger is on Las Vegas. Game 632 at 10:00 eastern. The Aces have double revenge here tonight and they happen to be 6-0 straight up and to the spread with 2x revenge as a home favorite of 8 or less and 3 of those wins have been against the Liberty. Rob also notes that road dogs like NY that had 5+ days previous rest and are off a road win are 0-7 straight up and to the spread vs a team off a home win that scored less than 100 points. These road dogs lose by 13 points per game. In fact the only 2 road dogs that scored 111 or more as a road favorite lost and failed to cover. Look for Las Vegas to cover.
7/30/2026 - Canadian Football	LOSER
The Thursday night CFL Totals System Play is on the UNDER in the BC at Winnipeg game. Rotation numbers 671/672 at 8:30 eastern. Rob notes that home favorites like the Bombers that have a .400 or better win percentage and are off a home loss and are taking on a team off a loss where the total is 53 or higher are 10-0 UNDER if they allowed 17 or more points in the game prior to their loss. Expect a much better defensive effort here from the Bombers after allowing 50+ to Calgary here last week. British Columbia has really struggled scoring with 29 points over the last 2 weeks, plus they chew up the clock and have been much improved on defense the last 3 weeks. In the series 5 of the last 6 have stayed under. Play this one Under
7/29/2026 - WNBA	WINNER
The WNBA Back from the break extended rest power system play is on Phoenix. Game 626 at 10:00 eastern. The Mercury and home dogs with more than 5 days rest but less than 10 days rest are 6-2 straight up and 8-0 to the spread vs an opponent like Golden St also with 5+ days rest. The Mercury started to pick it up prior to the break with a pair of wins. They have double road loss revenge on the Valkyries and have never lost to them at home. They lost by 6 on the road against them in the last meeting and should hand around for a cover here as they are 5-1 to the spread in the series. Based on the Rest system we will take the points here with Phoenix.
7/29/2026 - Soccer	LOSER
In Round 2 and keg 2 of the UEFA Qualifications we are backing the over 2.5 goals in the Fenerbahce at Gornik Zabrze match. Rotation numbers 224325/326 at 1 eastern. Fenerbahce held off Zabrze at home in the first leg 1-0 but we should see more scoring here as Fenerbahce had scored 18 goals over their last 6 games in all competitions and with the host squad down a goal they will have to press a bit more here which will likely generate more scoring chances for both teams especially later in the game. Fenerbahce has been off since leg 1 while Zabrze rebounded with a 2-1 win in league play on Saturday which could also affect them later in the game. Fenerbahce has more talent and despite a big edge in ball control last week they were unable to convert their chances. Despite the 1 goal lead coming in we look for the Visitors to advance and for this game to see 3 r more goals combined here. Play this one OVER the total.
7/28/2026 - MLB	LOSER
The MLB Late night 24-0 Bailout System is on the LA. Dodgers. Game 910 at 10:30 eastern. Rob notes that Non Division home favorites of -145 or higher have won all 24 times since 2004 if they have a .600 or higher win percentage and are off a road loss where they blew a 2+ run lead against an opponent that had a .600 or less win percentage and that team scored 2 or more runs and the total in this game is 10 or lower. These teams win by over 3 runs per game. LA has won 12 straight in the series with Seattle and are 10-0 at home against them since 2015. LA is 5-0 at home off a road loss. Luis Castillo has lost his last 3 as a road dog. Look for LA to take the opener SU: 24-0 Team: 6.67 Opp: 3.25 2005/07/04 box Mon 2005 home White Sox Brandon McCarthy -R Rays Hideo Nomo -R -210 9.5 9 11-14 0-0 5-0 5 8.5 O 2 W 10-8 2006/07/13 box Thu 2006 home Tigers Jeremy Bonderman -R Royals Brandon Duckworth -R -270 9 9 9-10 0-2 2-3 1 1 O 2 W 6-4 2007/05/15 box Tue 2007 home Guardians Paul Byrd -R Twins Ramon Ortiz -R -150 10 9 17-11 1-1 12-0 8 12 O 8 W 15-7 2008/08/04 box Mon 2008 home Angels Joe Saunders -L Orioles Dennis Sarfate -R -200 9 9 10-10 1-0 5-0 1 2 O 1 W 6-5 2009/06/16 box Tue 2009 home Red Sox Tim Wakefield -R Marlins Chris Volstad -R -165 9.5 9 13-7 0-1 7-0 0 0.5 O 6 W 8-2 2009/06/26 box Fri 2009 home Dodgers Clayton Kershaw -L Mariners Jason Vargas -L -165 8 9 14-6 0-0 6-0 0 2 O 6 W 8-2 2012/05/14 box Mon 2012 home Nationals Ross Detwiler -L Padres Tim Stauffer -R -150 7.0 9 11-7 2-2 3-1 1 6.0 O 3 W 8-5 2013/05/30 box Thu 2013 home Rangers Justin Grimm -R Diamondbacks Brandon McCarthy -R -154 9.5 9 15-14 1-0 9-0 0 4.5 O 4 W 9-5 2013/07/05 box Fri 2013 home Cardinals Jake Westbrook -R Marlins Jacob Turner -R -173 8.5 9 7-3 2-0 3-0 1 -3.5 U 3 W 4-1 2013/07/29 box Mon 2013 home Pirates Francisco Liriano -L Cardinals Jake Westbrook -R -150 7.0 9 9-7 0-0 8-0 4 4.0 O 7 W 9-2 2016/04/19 box Tue 2016 home Royals Yordano Ventura -R Tigers Shane Greene -R -163 8.0 9 9-10 1-0 6-0 0 6.0 O 2 W 8-6 2018/05/25 box Fri 2018 home Yankees Luis Severino -R Angels Andrew Heaney -L -235.0 9.0 9 5-6 0-0 1-0 0 -6.0 U 1 W 2-1 2018/07/20 box Fri 2018 home Mariners Wade LeBlanc -L White Sox James Shields -R -200.0 8.5 9 9-5 0-1 2-0 2 -4.5 U 2 W 3-1 2018/08/17 box Fri 2018 home Red Sox Brian Johnson -L Rays Ryne Stanek -R -185.0 9.0 9 11-7 0-0 4-1 5 1.0 O 4 W 7-3 2018/09/24 box Mon 2018 home Red Sox Nathan Eovaldi -R Orioles Dylan Bundy -R -250.0 8.0 9 10-7 0-1 6-0 0 0.0 P 4 W 6-2 2019/05/20 box Mon 2019 home Astros Brad Peacock -R White Sox Ryan Burr -R -230 9.0 9 8-6 0-1 3-0 1 -6.0 U 3 W 3-0 2019/07/19 box Fri 2019 home Dodgers Hyun Jin Ryu -L Marlins Zac Gallen -R -335 7.5 9 6-4 2-1 1-1 0 -4.5 U 1 W 2-1 2021/10/19 box Tue 2021 home Dodgers Walker Buehler -R Braves Charlie Morton -R -176 7.0 9 10-11 1-0 2-3 2 4.0 O 1 W 6-5 2023/05/02 box Tue 2023 home Rays Javy Guerra -R Pirates Roansy Contreras -R -160 8.5 9 6-5 0-0 3-0 0 -3.5 U 3 W 4-1 2023/07/28 box Fri 2023 home Braves Yonny Chirinos -R Brewers Adrian Houser -R -178 10 9 15-11 0-0 6-0 0 7 O 3 W 10-7 2025/04/21 box Mon 2025 home Giants Robbie Ray -L Brewers Quinn Priester -R -146 7.5 9 8-6 0-1 3-1 0 -0.5 U 3 W 5-2 2025/09/12 box Fri 2025 home Brewers Quinn Priester -R Cardinals Andre Pallante -R -188 8.5 9 10-9 0-3 6-0 0 1.5 O 6 W 8-2 2026/05/18 box Mon 2026 home Yankees Ryan Weathers -L Blue Jays Patrick Corbin -L -170 9 9 11-9 0-2 2-2 1 4 O 1 W 7-6 2026/06/12 box Fri 2026 home Brewers Jacob Misiorowski -R Phillies Tanner Banks -L -235 7.5 9 8-1 0-1 6-0 1 -1.5 U 6 W 6-0 2026/07/28 22:10 Tue 2026 home Dodgers TBD Mariners Luis Castillo -R -190 9 0

The Lynx fit a perfect extended rest system that plays on Home favorites of 12 or more in July when both teams have 5+ days of rest. These teams win by an average 88-61 score. The Lynx cashed in this system last season. The Lynx won the only other meeting with Toronto by 28 earlier in the season. Toronto limped into the break losing 7 of 8 at home. Now they take to the road. Minnesota has won 7 straight and are perched at the top of the Western Conference standings at 22-6. Look for them to get the over tonight
