Weekend Watch
Joe Williams


Dear Commish, Can We Change Leagues?

It's no surprise that the Boston Red Sox are tied for the best winning percentage in interleague play with the surging Pittsburgh Pirates. The Red Sox have been beating everyone's brains in. However, the third-place Colorado Rockies and last-place Cincinnati Reds have really excelled against the boys from the junior circuit. The good news for bettors is that the Red Sox have 10 more games remaining against the NL, as every club plays 20 total games against the opposite league. There is plenty of money to be had in the final two months of the regular season finding small trends like these and taking advantage. In addition, the Padres have been woeful to this point, posting a 43-69 (.384) record to date. They're even worse against the AL, winning just two of their 10 games with still 10 more games to play. The next time to fade the Padres against an AL side is a three-game set from Aug. 13-15 against the visiting Angels. They'll also play host to the Mariners from Aug. 28-29 for two, see the M's two more times in Seattle from Sept. 11-12 and host the Rangers for three from Sept. 14-16. Take advantage, and circle those dates!

2018 Interleague Records (through 8/2)

Team Record (Winning Pct. - Games Remaining)
Boston 8-2 (.800 - 10)
Pittsburgh 12-3 (.800 - 5)
Colorado 11-5 (.688 - 4)
Cincinnati 10-5 (.667 - 5)
Philadelphia 10-5 (.667 - 5)

Team Record (Winning Pct - Games Remaining)
San Diego 2-8 (.200 - 10)
Detroit 3-9 (.250 - 8)
Chicago White Sox 5-12 (.294 - 3)
Minnesota 6-12 (.333 - 2)
Tampa Bay 6-12 (.333 - 2)

Looking Ahead

Saturday, Aug. 4

The Red Sox traded for RHP Nathan Eovaldi to bolster their rotation heading down the stretch. They didn't likely add him to beat the Yankees, as he has scuffled against his former employer recently. He was tuned up for five earned runs, eight hits and a walk over 7 1/3 innings in a loss at the Stadium back on June 15. While the innings pitched is a season high, it was just the third time this season he allowed eight or more hits in a single outing. The five earned runs were also the second most he has allowed in 2018. The good news for Eovaldi is that he'll be up against the unproven Chance Adams, and the Pinstripers are just 1-4 over the past five road games and 1-4 in their past five against teams with a winning record. Boston has won 39 of the past 54 at Fenway Park, and they're 44-18 in their past 62 inside the division while going 4-1 in their past five at home against the rival Yanks heading into play Friday.

RHP Zach Eflin and the Phillies will host the Marlins on Saturday night at 'The Vault'. The 24-year-old right-hander for the Phillies is an impressive 4-1 with a 3.18 ERA in six home outings, posting 38 strikeouts in just 34 innings while the opponent is hitting just .229 against him during the six-game stretch. Overall he has lost just one time in nine starts dating back to May 30, and he hasn't lost in front of the home folks since May 25 in an interleague battle against the Toronto Blue Jays. The last time the home crowd saw him fall to an NL side was Aug. 13, 2017 when the Mets topped him. Miami counters with RHP Jose Urena, who has had a lot of bad luck this season. He was super last time out, allowing just one hit and four walks over six scoreless innings against Washington at Marlins Park on July 29. He coughed up five runs in just four innings with four walks in a no-decision against Philly on July 15. The good news for Urena is that he has allowed just two homers in 41 innings away from home over seven starts, while serving up 10 homers at home across 77 2/3 innings in 14 home outings.

In late-night action, the Blue Jays travel to meet LHP James Paxton and the Mariners. The good news for bettors is that the M's are using a pair of a pair of southpaws on Friday (Marco Gonzalez) and Saturday (Paxton) against the Jays. Toronto has been brutal trying to figure out left-handed starting pitchers, going 5-16 in their past 21 on the road against lefties, and 7-25 in their past 32 overall vs. LHP. They haven't been very good with Marco Estrada toeing the slab, either. The Jays are 3-8 in his past 11 starts overall, while going 1-8 in his past nine against teams with a winning overall record, 0-4 in his past four on the road and 0-5 in his past five vs. AL West foes. The M's are 26-12 in their past 38 at Safeco Field entering Friday's outing, and 5-1 in Paxton's past six against AL East sides, 5-2 in his past seven at home and 13-6 in his past 19 overall.

Weather Report

The Yankees and Red Sox might see the tarpaulin on Saturday afternoon, as there is an 80 percent chance of thunderstorms forecast for first pitch. The weather isn't expected to move out until 7pm ET, so a lengthy weather delay is likely. When they do get underway there will be a jetstream blowing out to left field at 10-13 mph.

The Royals and Twins will also be dodging raindrops, and the weather is forecast to move in during the middle innings. They might be able to resume later in the evening, but the starting pitchers could potentially have their outings curtailed. The winds will be howling from right to left field at a 15-18 mph clip, so an 'over' looks like an interesting play.

In Arlington, the O's and Rangers will have a stiff hot wind blowing right in the face of batters from straightaway center field to home plate. The opposite will be the case in Oakland, as a cool wind will be gusting from 14-17 mph from home plate to the right-center field power alley.

Sunday, Aug. 5

The Marlins and Phillies battle again in the City of Brotherly Love. LHP Wei-Yin Chen takes the mound, and he has been atrocious on the road. Miami is secretly cheering for rain in the series finale. Chen is 2-2 with a 2.18 ERA across eight home starts with a .209 opponent batting average. Pretty good, right? On the road he is 1-6 with a 10.27 ERA across nine starts over 37 2/3 innings with the opponent hitting .350 against him. Talk about stark splits. Fade Chen on the road, and enjoy good value when he is at home. The good news is that he has owned INF Asdrubal Cabrera, as Cabrera is just 3-for-24 (.125) with a home, two RBI and six strikeouts with no walks. He hasn't been as good against Maikel Franco, who is 7-for-18 (.389) with a double, two homers, six RBI and a 1.167 OPS. Those two are the only current Phillies who have taken Chen yard, however.

The Padres rank second-to-last in the majors with a .232 batting average, and they are also 29th in the majors and dead-last in the National League with only 415 runs scored. They'll be trying to sink LHP Jon Lester, who has posted an impressive 5-2 record, 2.97 ERA and .237 opponent batting average at Wrigley Field across 62 2/3 innings over 11 starts. If there was a time to catch Lester and deal him a loss, it might be right now, however. Cubs side bettors will have to eat a lot of chalk against the lowly Padres, but Lester is 0-2 with an 8.36 ERA with a .321 opponent batting average in three starts since the All-Star break. Be careful.

The Yankees and Red Sox will battle on Sunday Night Baseball, and it will be RHP Masahiro Tanaka taking the ball against LHP David Price. Tanaka was knocked around for six earned runs, seven hits and two walks over five innings on April 11 at Fenway Park, but he actually did earn the win in that 10-7 shootout. He also coughed up four runs at the Stadium on May 9, lasting just 5 1/3 innings in that one. Since the start of the 2015 season he is 7-2 with a 4.11 ERA in 13 starts against the Red Sox, and that includes a 3-1 record and 3.46 ERA across six starts at Fenway. The Red Sox counter with Price, but he has been smashed in two outings by the Yankees.

The Yankees are roughing him up to the tune of a .480 opponent batting average this season.

Weather Report

Precipitation isn't expected to be a problem in the early portion of the slate, but winds will be howling. The Padres and Cubs will see the winds blowing out at Wrigley Field from 13-16 mph. The Tigers and A's will again be battling winds at 12-15 mph to the right-center field power alley.The good news is that precipitation won't be a problem anywhere on Sunday.

BC Lions vs. Calgary Stampeders Preview and Predictions 08-04-2018 in CFL

CFL Previews 1st August 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 08/01/2018

The Calgary Stampeders look to remain unbeaten when they host the BC Lions in a West Division clash Saturday. The Stampeders cruised to an impressive 34-22 road victory against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Week 7 to improve to 6-0 for the first time in 23 years, and hope to continue their mastery of BC by earning their ninth win in the last 10 regular-season meetings with the Lions.

Calgary has been dominant on defence, leading the league in several different categories, including points allowed per game (11.3), forced fumbles (10) and sacks (17) and hopes to move to 34-8 against West Division rivals since the start of the 2014 season. The last-place Lions were left to lick their wounds during their off week following a 29-25 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks on July 20. It doesn't get any easier for BC, which has dropped four straight meetings with Calgary and hasn't tasted victory at McMahon Stadium since a 25-24 win Aug. 1, 2014, but hopes the extra time to prepare for the Stampeders pays off as they look to produce the shock of the CFL season. "We're coming up against the juggernaut of the league and we want to win," Lions defensive back T.J. Lee told reporters. "We have to keep putting in the work if we're expecting results."

TV: 10 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN Plus

ABOUT THE LIONS (2-3): Veteran running back Brandon Rutley, who rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown against Ottawa, was placed on the six-game injured list after suffering a knee injury. Jeremiah Johnson, who leads the team with 222 rushing yards, is likely to return to the lineup after missing the last game with an ankle injury while Travon Van is back with the team after dealing with a personal issue back home. Offensive lineman Jovan Olafioye suffered a knee injury against the Redblacks and is likely to miss Saturday's clash while Hunter Steward is questionable because of a back injury, which has kept him sidelined for the last month.

ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (6-0): Bo Levi Mitchell threw for 187 yards and three touchdowns, including a scoring strike to Eric Rogers - his fifth TD catch in his last four games. Don Jackson leads the team in rushing yards (442), but was a late scratch against Saskatchewan due to a pulled hamstring and is questionable for Saturday while his replacement Terry Williams, who returned a punt for a 78-yard touchdown against the Roughriders, could sit out because of a nagging shoulder injury. "There are concerns and as always I'm going to make the best decision for the club," Calgary coach Dave Dickenson told reporters. "If they show me they can practice by day 3 then I'd like to see them play."

EXTRA POINTS

1. Calgary has held five of six opponents to 14 points or fewer in 2018.

2. Lions DE Odell Willis has recorded three sacks in his last two games.

3. Mitchell has thrown 11 touchdowns passes in his last five starts.

PREDICTION: Stampeders 31, Lions 19

Play on: Red Sox -141 at betonline


1* Free Pick on Boston Red Sox -141


The Red Sox have taken the first two games of this huge 4-game series at home against the Yankees and I see them having no problem taking game 3 on Saturday. Boston has now won 5 straight at home against a team with a winning road record, while the Yankees have dropped 3 straight overall and 4 of their last 5 against a team with a winning record.


Red Sox will have a massive edge on the mound in Saturday's contest, as they send out the newly acquired Nathan Eovaldi against the Yankees Chance Adams, who is making his big league debut.


This Boston offense is the best in baseball and it's really asking a lot of a guy like Adams to be able to keep them in check. Not to mention the nerves that will come with making his big league debut at Fenway Park in the biggest rivalry in baseball. Adams also isn't an elite prospect. He's posted just a 3.07 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over his last 6 starts at Triple-A.


Eovaldi looked like a completely different pitcher in his first start with the Red Sox. He allowed just 4 hits and didn't walk a single batter over 7 shutout innings at home against the Twins. He might not completely shutdown this Yankees' offense, but he should get more than enough run support to bring home the victory. Take Boston!

Jack’s Free Pick Saturday: Arizona Diamondbacks -134


Clay Buchholz continues to lack the respect he deserves from oddsmakers. He is finally healthy for the first time in a long time, and he’s showing what he is capable of for the Arizona Diamondbacks this season as a result.


Buchholz has gone 4-1 with a 2.12 ERA and 1.059 WHIP in nine starts this season. That’s a big enough sample size to know that this guy is back to his old self. Buchholz is also 0-0 with a 2.57 ERA in two career starts against San Francisco.


Andrew Suarez is 4-6 with a 4.11 ERA and 1.272 WHIP in 18 starts this season, including 1-1 with a 5.94 ERA and 1.500 WHIP in his last three. He has been at his worst on the road this year, going 2-3 with a 4.66 ERA and 1.511 WHIP in nine starts away from home.


The Giants are 43-90 in their last 133 road games vs. a team with a winning record. The Diamondbacks are 4-1 in Buchholz’s last five starts. Bet the Diamondbacks Saturday.

Dave’s Saturday Bonus Play:


1* on Atlanta Braves -118


The Key: Kevin Gausman gets a breath of fresh air with the Braves. He escapes the rugged AL East and gets to pitch in the much more friendly NL East for a contending team moving forward. Look for Gausman to perform well in his first start with his new teams tonight. The Mets are just 1-6 in their last 7 games overall to fall to 44-63 on the season. Zack Wheeler faced the Braves on June 12th, giving up 6 earned runs and 12 base runners in 5 2/3 innings of a 2-8 loss in his lone start against them this year. The Braves are 5-0 in their last 5 games overall. The Mets are 1-8 in Wheeler’s last 9 home starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Braves are 5-0 in their last 5 meetings in New York. Take Atlanta.

Calgary is 6-0 and crushing the competition, winning by 18.5 PPG. With British Columbia scoring just 21.6 PPG, the total has slid from 52 to 50.5. I'm inclined to agree with where the total is headed with Calgary 5-1 UNDER this season and 20-7 UNDER at home after gaining 200 or less passing yards in their last game.

Play on: OVER 50½ -107
This is a Free #CFL play on BC@CAL to go Over the total. B.C. has plenty of reason for optimism coming off a bye week. Veteran quarterback Travis Lulay has stepped in and thrown for over 300 yards in back to back games. The Lions will be a double digit underdog in Calgary this week, and the Stampeders remain undefeated. Calgary gave up a season high 22 points in a win over the Riders in Saskatchewan last week, and this could be a bit of a let down spot for the league's best team. The Lions have gone over in four straight road games, and the over is 4-1 in their last five when coming off a bye week. These teams have a history of playing high scoring games, going over the total in seven of the last 10 meetings in Calgary. Take Over. GL,

The Texas Rangers have scored at least 4 runs in nine of their last 10 games overall. They have scored a combined 28 runs in winning each of the first two games of this series with the Baltimore Orioles. They should keep swinging a hot bat against Dylan Bundy and the Orioles tonight. Bundy is 7-9 with a 4.53 ERA in 20 starts this season, including 1-1 with a 7.31 ERA in his last three outings. Mike Minor is pitching very well at home this year. He is 4-2 with a 3.55 ERA in 11 starts in Arlington. The Orioles are 16-43 in their last 59 games overall. The Rangers are 6-1 in their last seven games overall. Texas is 10-3 in its last 13 home meetings with Baltimore. Give me the Rangers.

CFL | BC vs Calgary
Play on: Calgary -11½ -102 at 5Dimes


This is a 1* Bonus Play on the Calgary Stampeders.


BC is a sizeable dog here and for good reason in our opinion. The Lions have failed to cover the spread in four straight in this series. BC is also last in the West and it’s scored the fewest points so far as well. The Lions come in off their bye-week; previous to that they lost 29-25 at Ottawa. BC’s top RB Jeremiah Johnson missed the latest setback with an ankle injury and his status is questionable for this one as well. Note that BC is also 2-7 ATS in its last nine on the road. The Stamps are 6-0 and have scored the second most points in the league, while allowing the least. Bo Levi Mitchell had three TD passes in last week’s 34-22 win over Saskatchewan. Note that Calgary is 5-1 ATS in its last six following a SU win. We think a blowout of epic proportions is in the cards in this one, consider laying the points on the STAMPEDERS.

Play on: UNDER 7½ -120


10* FREE MLB PICK (UNDER 7.5)


I'll take my chances here with the UNDER in Saturday's contest that has the White Sox visiting the Rays. This game will feature the White Sox's Carlos Rodon against the Rays' Blake Snell. Two of the hottest pitchers in the game right now. Rodon has a 1.59 ERA and 0.706 WHIP in his last 3 starts, while Snell has a 2.05 ERA and 1.246 WHIP in his last 3 starts. You also have to look at how well Snell has been at home. He's got a ridiculous 0.87 ERA and 0.871 WHIP in 8 home starts. Those 8 starts have covered 51 2/3 innings and he's allowed just 5 earned runs over that stretch. I don't see either offense doing much of anything in this one. Give me the UNDER 7.5!

1* Free Sharp Play on Orioles vs Rangers under 10½ -105


My money is on the UNDER in Saturday's MLB action that has the Rangers hosting the Orioles. I'm not saying these two teams won't push across some runs, but I'm confident they will combine for 10 or less. Baltimore will start Dylan Bundy, who is coming off a strong start against the Rays, where he allowed just 3 runs in 7 innings. Bundy is also 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA and 0.538 WHIP in 2 career starts against the Rangers. Texas will give the ball to Mike Minor, who has a strong 3.55 ERA and 1.076 WHIP in 11 home starts. Bet the UNDER 10.5!

Play on: Rangers -144 at 5Dimes


#MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN


The Texas Rangers have won six of their last seven and they've started this series by pounding the Orioles pitching staff with a total of 28 runs in back-to-back wins.


I don't think they'll have any problems to pile on the runs here against Baltimore righty Dylan Bundy (7-9, 4.53 ERA) who has surrendered 18 runs through his last four starts, serving up a total of eight homers.


The Rangers hand the ball to Mike Minor (7-6, 4.73 ERA) who fanned eight through six innings of two-run ball at Houston his last time out. I expect another solid outing from the left-hander here as he's 4-2 with a 3.55 ERA in 11 starts home at Globe Life Park on the season.


The Rangers have won 10 of the last 13 meetings at Arlington.


Free pick on Texas Rangers.
