TOMMY BRUNSON

Probably American League Wild Card preview today in Oakland, as the A's play host to the Yankees.

Siding with Oakland in this spot, as New York had to fly west after their loss at home yesterday afternoon to Detroit, and will now have to play this game at 1pm local time.

New York has dropped 4 of their last 7 games, and they have also dropped 5 of their last 7 to Oakland.

It will be CC Sabathia and Trevor Cahill working the hill, and it is Cahill's home mark of 4-0 with a 0.85 ERA that has me liking Oakland in this spot today.

The A's get the comfort of having spent the night in their home bed and a starter that has not lost at home this season as they go against a team making the trek cross-country while having to play during the day.

Back Oakland this afternoon.

4* OAKLAND

MLB | Sep 03, 2018
Red Sox vs. Braves
OVER 9

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Game #979 Monday Free Pick OVER the total in Atlanta Braves vs Boston Red Sox @ 1:05 ET - Boston's Nathan Eovaldi allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings the last time he made a start at Atlanta. The Red Sox right-hander enters this start struggling as Eovaldi has gone 0-3 with a 9.53 ERA in his last 3 starts. The Braves counter with rookie Touki Toussaint whom, coming into this season had only pitched in 7 games above the single A level of the minors in his entire minor league career. The point is that this is still a young (and raw) hurler. Yes, Toussaint is absolutely talented but he is going to be much more challenged today by one of the top lineups in baseball than he was in his first career MLB start when he faced a much less tougher lineup - the Marlins. The Red Sox are off of a shutout loss yesterday but have previously scored an average of 7.6 runs per game in their 5 prior games and should bounce right back here. The Braves, after a 5-1 win yesterday, have scored at least 4 runs in 6 of their last 7 games and they should have no trouble with a struggling Eovaldi here. The over is 11-6 in Braves inter-league games this season. Boston is 5-1 to the over in Eovaldi's last 6 road starts. Free Pick OVER the total in Atlanta

Tigers vs. White Sox
White Sox-122

The Chicago White Sox are coming off an 8-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. They have won seven of 10, 13 of 19 and 18 of 30 and I like the price on another White Sox win here Monday afternoon with Reynaldo Lopez (5-9, 4.51 ERA) on the mound. The 24 year old right-hander limited the Yankees to one run and five hits in seven innings his last time out and the White Sox have won each of his last three starts.

The Tigers hand the ball to Michael Fulmer (3-10, 4.71 ERA) who is 0-5 with a 5.90 ERA in his past seven starts and 2-4 with a 6.06 ERA in 10 starts on the road this season.

Detroit has won six straight matchups at Guaranteed Rate Field, but that's a losing streak White Sox look primed to snap today.

RAY CHADWICK

My Labor Day Bonus Play is the Red Sox and the Braves to land Over the total with Eovaldi and Toussaint on the mound.

These teams met back in May, and 2 of the 3 showdowns did indeed land Over the total.

Boston just played all 3 against the Chicago White Sox Under the total, while Atlanta just played all 3 games against the Pittsburgh Pirates Under the total. That tells me the bats are ready to make some noise this Monday afternoon at Sun Trust Park!

Nathan Eovaldi has been hit hard over his last 3 starts, as his 9.53 ERA indicates. Expect him to be hit hard again today. Meanwhile. Atlanta has called back up rookie Touki Toussaint to make his second big league start. He did pitch quite well last month against Miami, as he worked 6 innings with just one run allowed against Miami. Still, pitching against Miami is one thing, this start will come against one of the best hitting teams in all of baseball.

I say play the game Over and look for the offenses to make some noise today.

3* BOSTON-ATLANTA OVER

ERIC PARKILA

Event: (953) Philadelphia Phillies at (954) Miami Marlins
Sport/League: MLB
Date/Time: September 3, 2018 1PM EDT
Play: Total Under 8.0 (-105)

The Phillies are in a pennant race with the Atlanta Braves and also find themselves looking up at both the Rockies and Diamondbacks in the Wild Card standings. After losing four of their last six at home to divisional opponents Washington and Chicago, they head to Miami where they have averaged just three runs per game this season in six contests.

Phillies pitcher Vince Velasquez has had the total go over in each of his last three starts but was 8-1 to the under in his previous nine. The Phillies played in Chicago on Sunday and now make the trip to Miami to play on Monday. Neither team is overly impressive offensively as the Phillies average 3.94 runs per game on the road.

The early start time combined with each team playing the day before and Philadelphia's travel make this an attractive under play.

ANDREW MCINNIS

Event: (645) Edmonton Eskimos at (646) Calgary Stampeders
Sport/League: CFL
Date/Time: September 3, 2018 3PM EDT
Play: 1H Total Under 27.0 (-110)

The Edmonton Eskimos take on their rival the Calgary Stampeders in the battle of Alberta during rivalry Labour Day weekend in the CFL in a HIGHLY anticipated matchup between the top 2 teams in the western conference.

In a game where the Calgary Stampeders can practically clinch the Western conference this game is bound do be a tight one.

As most people already might know, the Calgary Stampeders have been a dominant force in the league for countless years now, but in the past few years they still haven't been able to capture a Grey Cup championship, having said that I think I've found the reason why they are a far different team this year. Their DEFENCE has absolutely stepped it up this season.

The Stamps are only allowing 16.89 points per game. They have been absolutely shutting teams down. It all starts with defensive Lineman Charleston Hughes who is having an outstanding year putting pressure on the opposition.

The total has gone under in 10 of the Stamps last 14 games.

The total has gone under in 4 of the Stamps last 5 games at home.

The Under is 8-2 in the Stamps last 10 games following a Straight up win.

Most people know how strong Edmonton's offence is, being lead by the reigning Most Outstanding Player Mikey Reilly and WR Derel Walker but the biggest question has always been their defencence, can they get stops? The Edmonton Eskimos have been working all week long to prepare for this high-powered Stampeders offence led by Bo-Levi Mitchell and I belive they will be prepared.

The first half of this game should be a feeling out process for both teams and 27 is WAY too high of a total for my liking. Take the UNDER...

JIMMY BOYD

1* Free Pick on Edmonton Eskimos +7.5

Calgary is getting way too much respect here from the books at home against the Eskimos. Edmonton comes in off a mere 1-point loss at Hamilton, but have still won 4 of their last 6.

The Stampeders won easily 39-26 in their last game at home against Winnipeg, but that actually puts Calgary in a major fade spot.

Home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points who have a winning record and are off a home win against a division rival are a mere 15-40 (27%) ATS going back to 1996.

We also find a great system backing a play on Edmonton, as road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points who are off a game where they gave up 450 or more total yards are 86-46 (65%) ATS going back to 1996.

The Eskimos are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 against a team from the West, 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs a team with a winning record. Take Edmonton!
