NFLX | 49ers vs Chiefs

Play on: 49ers +4 -110 at 5Dimes



Game Analysis



Bonus Play from Doc’s Sports. #271 Take San Francisco 49ers +4 over Kansas City Chiefs (Friday, 8/11, 9 pm) The 49ers have been a mess for the last three years and this will be their fourth new head coach in as many years. Generally, first year head coaches take preseason games more seriously and the 49ers are in desperate need to build a winning culture and that may start during the preseason. Andy Reid is just 32-39 ATS in preseason games and it seems he has taken them less seriously as he has gotten older. The 49ers have the more experienced second-string quarterback and that will allow them to win this game straight-up. Getting this many points is just icing on the cake.

KEY STAT: Leicester’s three opening-day Premier League games since their promotion have produced 13 goals

EXPERT VERDICT: Arsenal will hope there is no repeat of last season’s Premier League opener, when hideous defensive weaknesses were exposed in a thrilling 4-3 loss at home to Liverpool. The Gunners failed to keep a clean sheet in the Community Shield and there remains a sense that Arsene Wenger’s new-look back three, with Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny quite likely deployed in front, remains a work in progress which can be hit with pace.

RECOMMENDATION: Both teams to score

EXPERT VERDICT: Lyon got off to a flyer in Ligue 1 with a 4-0 hammering of promoted Strasbourg with Nabil Fekir – now minus strike partner Alexandre Lacazette – bagging two. But this trip to remodelled Rennes will be a far sterner test. The Bretons were solid at home last season and can give Lyon a game having added the likes of Ismaila Sarr and Jordan Tell to their cast.

Game Analysis


#1 RANKED CAPPER IN 2017 on multiple networks for premium pick earnings (+$37,970 YTD) in all sports combined. His premium picks enter Friday on a 7-3 (70%) Run as he is heating up once AGAIN which means you absolutely want to JUMP ON BOARD Friday! Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach Free Pick Friday MLB Cincinnati Reds Money Line (+) @ Milwaukee Brewers @ 8:10 ET - One of the biggest favorites on the board Friday is Milwaukee. The team with the longest current losing streak in the majors is...you guessed it...Milwaukee! Now I know that Homer Bailey has had plenty of issues with the Reds but he is one of those guys that is truly a "hit or miss" pitcher. The point being that when is "on" he is "really on" and when he is "off" he is nothing short of horrible. The reason I am willing to invest in Bailey and the Reds here is the exceptional value in fading a team mired in a losing streak as well as a couple of other key factors. Cincinnati's Bailey has allowed a total of just 2 earned runs in the 11 and 2/3 innings spanning his last 2 starts at Milwaukee. The Brewers have scored an average of just 2.3 runs per game in their last 14 games! Amazingly, Milwaukee has scored more than 4 runs ZERO times in those 14 games! Bailey, prior to getting rocked in his most recent start, had allowed 2 earned runs or less in 4 of his 6 prior starts! He allowed a total of only 5 earned runs in those 4 outings. You can see he is capable of going into "shutdown" mode against teams and the Brewers just are not hitting well at all as you can see from the numbers above. The Reds have quietly gone 7-4 in their last 11 games and have scored an average of 5.5 runs per game during this stretch. Milwaukee is an ugly 3-7 this season (and 25-39 the last 3 seasons combined) when they enter a game on a losing streak of 3 games or more. As you can see, this one has great potential for a big dog upset. Free Pick on CINCINNATI on the money line Friday evening. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

MLB | Indians vs Rays

Play on: Rays +1½ -140 at 5Dimes



Game Analysis



#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin

Play: Tampa Bay Rays +1.5

Rating: 5/10*


I think the Tampa Bay Rays are worth a shot on the runline when they host the Cleveland Indians for the second contest of a four-game set Friday night.

Jake Faria (5-2, 2.81 ERA) will take the ball for the Rays. The 24 year old rookie has been terrific all season. He was unfortunate to be charged with the loss his last time out despite holding Milwaukee to one run on four hits while punching out nine through six innings. Faria is 3-1 with a 2.56 ERA in five home starts on the season.

The Tribe turn to Carlos Carrasco (10-5, 4.06 ERA). They've lost four of his last five starts, and the right-hander has been tagged with 10 runs on 12 hits and five walks in just 7 1/3 innings in his last two starts combined. He gave up five runs on six hits while lasting only 3 2/3 innings when he took on the Rays earlier this year.


The Indians are 0-6 in their last six road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Rays are 4-1 in their last five home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Tampa Bay might very well win this game outright, but take the extra run and a half as an insurance.

MLB | Braves vs Cardinals

Play on: Cardinals -144 at betonline



Game Analysis



Dave's Friday Bonus Play:

1* on St. Louis Cardinals -144

The Key: The St. Louis Cardinals are the hottest team in baseball right now. They have won 6 straight games while scoring a combined 50 runs over their last 5 games, or an average of 10.0 RPG. Look for them to stay hot at the plate against the Atlanta Braves, who are 3-10 in their last 13 games overall, including 0-5 in their last 5 road games. The Cardinals are 9-2 in their last 11 home games. St. Louis is 38-15 in Wainwright's last 53 home starts, and 41-13 in his last 54 starts vs. a team with a losing record. He is 2-0 with a 3.13 ERA in his last 4 starts overall. Wainwright has allowed 3 earned runs or fewer in 7 of his last 10 starts against Atlanta. The Cardinals are 9-3 in Wainwright's last 12 starts vs. Atlanta. Mike Foltynewicz yielded 7 earned runs in 4 innings of a 10-0 loss to the Cardinals in his last start against them on May 5th. The Braves are 2-7 in their last 9 meetings. Take St. Louis.

MLB | CHC vs ARI

Play on: UNDER 9½ -115



Game Analysis



1* Bonus Play UNDER Cubs/Diamondbacks.


Both of these starting pitchers has looked solid of late and we’re expecting them to battle into the deeper innings.


John Lackey: He’s 9-9 with a 4.81 ERA. Lackey most recently gave up three runs (two earned) off six hits and three walks over five innings in a win over Washington on Saturday. The Cubs’ veteran has now won four straight decisions.


Taijuan Walker: He’s 6-5 with a 3.60 ERA. Walker gave up three earned runs over six frames while also going on to strike out six in a no-decision against San Francisco on Saturday. Note that he’s 5-2 with a 3.99 ERA in all “night” games this year.

MLB | Indians vs Rays

Play on: Rays +125 at 5Dimes



Game Analysis



Jack's Free Pick Friday: Tampa Bay Rays +125

The Tampa Bay Rays are actually tied with the Seattle Mariners for the second wild card spot in the American League. They are treating this series with the Cleveland Indians as their biggest of the season. They have won each of their last three meetings with Cleveland, including a 4-1 victory in Game 1 yesterday.

Jacob Faria has been awesome this year for the Rays. He has gone 5-2 with a 2.81 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 11 starts, and the Rays have gone 8-3 in those games. He is much better than he's getting credit for here by the oddsmakers.

Conversely, Carlos Carrasco is getting too much respect. He is 10-5 with a 4.06 ERA in 22 starts this year, but just 0-1 with a 7.90 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in his last three starts. He has allowed 10 earned runs in 7 1/3 innings in his last two starts. He gave up 5 earned runs in 3 2/3 innings in his only start against the Rays in 2017 back on May 15th.

The Indians are 0-6 in their last six road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Cleveland is 1-4 in Carrasco's last five starts. Carrasco is winless since the All-Star Break and has allowed at least five runs in three of his past five starts. Bet the Rays Friday.

1 Unit Bonus Play on Baltimore Orioles -102

The Baltimore Orioles have a lot more at stake right now than the Oakland A's. They are just 1.5 games back in the wild card race, while the A's have the second-worst record in the AL at 50-65. Oakland has lost three straight and five of its last seven coming in. Ubaldo Jimenez has been resurrected since the All-Star Break. He is 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA in his last three starts. He has given up 2 earned runs or fewer in four of his seven previous starts against the A's. He allowed 2 earned runs in 8 innings of a 5-2 victory for the Orioles in his last start against Oakland. The Orioles are 6-1 in Jimenez's last seven starts vs. a team with a losing record. The A's are 0-4 in their last four home games.

Baltimore will trot righty Ubaldo Jimenez to the mound tonight. Jimenez has a 5-7 record this year with a ballooning 6.31 ERA. Oakland will go with righty Paul Blackburn tonight.

Baltimore is also 2-5 in Jimenez’s last seven road starts and 2-6 in Jimenez’s last eight starts with four days’ rest. Oakland is 21-44 in their last 65 Friday games.

MLB | Royals vs White Sox

Play on: White Sox +127 at GTBets



Game Analysis



This game features the 57-57 Royals at the 44-68 White Sox. Early this season the White Sox were a cash cow hitting great for plus money wins and are starting to do that again winning 3 straight games and tonight sending one of the top pitching prospects in Baseball to the mound in Reynaldo Lopez. Royals are fading fast 2-8 last 10 and losers of 4 straight and off a super emotional rival in the Cardinals. I expect them to have trouble in this one. Take the White Sox for a plus money 15* winner.

MLB | Giants vs Nationals

Play on: Nationals -1½ +125 at 5Dimes



Game Analysis



Free Pick on Nationals -1.5


If you feel comfortable laying the juice, go ahead and roll the money line on Washington. I however think there's a big enough edge here to roll the dice and play the Nationals to win by at least two on the run line.


Both teams are 4-1 over their last 5, but San Francisco's recent success all came at home and this will mark the first time they have left the state of California since playing in Detroit over the 4th of July. On top of that, it's a long trip out to the east coast. Keep in mind the Giants are a mere 19-38 away from home on the season.


I also give a big edge to the Nationals on the mound. Edwin Jackson has taken advantage of the opportunity, posting a respectable 3.75 ERA and 1.042 WHIP in 4 starts since joining the rotation on 7/18. Two times he's went 7 innings and allowed 2 or fewer runs. He gave up 4 runs in 5 innings in his last start at the Cubs, but only allowed 6 hits, didn't walk a single batter and struck out 8. San Fancisco counters with Chris Stratton, who has a 5.40 ERA and 1.714 WHIP in two starts, which includes an awful 9 walks to just 5 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings of work. Take Washington -1.5!

(952) Washington (Jackson) over San Francisco (Stratton) @ 7:05 Eastern


Giants (46-70) after a home win yesterday face an infrequent rival Washington (67-45) on the east coast. The Nationals have won 4 straight in the series, 5-of-6 at home. San Francisco comes in 11-27 vs. RHP, 26-53 off a win and 5-17 vs. the NLE. Also, they are poor travelers at 19-40. With the Nationals 15-6 vs. the NLW and 4-1 w/Jackson on the hill, the play is...Washington!

MLB | Cubs vs Diamondbacks


Play on: Cubs +112 at BMaker



10* FREE MLB PICK (Cubs +112)


Chicago is worth a look here as a rare underdog in Friday's series opener at Arizona. I see this as a tough spot for the Diamondbacks, who just finished up a huge 3-game series at home against the Dodgers. Arizona won the opener then dropped the final 2 by a combined 3 runs. Prior to that they lost 2 of 3 to the Gaints. Chicago lost 2 of 3 at home to ARizona to start out August and will be out for revenge here. Starter John Lackey has pitched well of late with a 3.37 ERA in his last 3 starts and owns a solid 2.75 ERA in 5 career starts against the Diamondbacks (5-0 team record). Lackey got an extra day and is working on 5 days rest. Chicago's 7-3 this season when he's working on 5 or 6 days of rest. They are also 8-3 in his 11 starts following a team loss last time out. Give me the Cubs +112!

Play on: Indians -129 at GTBets



Though Tampa Bay won last night, their offense has been colder than the beer at your favorite watering hole, which places them in a poor spot tonight. Home underdogs like the Rays with a money line of +100 or higher, batting .175 or worse over their last three games, against opponent batting .225 or worse over their last 10 games, are a miserable 15-47 the past 20 years in this rare situation.

Play on: Brewers -190 at GTBets



1* play on the Brewers, led by Jimmy Nelson (3.24 ERA)


Last time the Brewers faced Bailey, they put up 6 ER and 3 homeruns in 3 innings. This is one of those must win types of games, as the Brewers have found themselves sinking out of NL Central contention.


Ryan Braun is 13-39 against Bailey. Bailey also has a career 4.93 ERA against the Brewers.

Play on: Cubs +110 at 5Dimes



I like the Cubs in this match-up against the Diamondbacks. Lackey in his last 3 starts is 3-0 with a 3.37 ERA. Lackey in his career against the Diamondbacks is 4-0 with a 2.76 ERA. Walker holds a 4.14 ERA while pitching at home. Also, Walker is 0-1 in his last 3 starts. The Cubs are 12-3 in their last 15 games on the road. The Diamondbacks are 1-4 in their last 5 games overall.
