MLB | White Sox vs Blue Jays
Play on: White Sox +165 at 5Dimes

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach Sunday MLB Early Free Pick: Chicago White Sox Money Line (+) @ Toronto Blue Jays @ 1:05 ET - J.A. Happ is coming off of a great start for the Blue Jays but he had been shaky in his prior outings and, in fact, had allowed 8 homers in his 5 prior starts. He now faces a White Sox team that is hitting .294 against left-handed pitchers this season. That is good for the #1 spot out of all 30 teams in the majors. Also, the White Sox are hot with 5 wins in their last 6 games and they've averaged 7 runs per game during this hot stretch. Although James Shields is returning from the DL for this start, he did pitch well in his minor league rehabilitation assignment at the AAA level. Also, the veteran was off to a good start this season with a 1.62 ERA in his first 3 starts with the White Sox this season before landing on the disabled list. The Blue Jays struggled again at the plate yesterday. Toronto is now averaging just 3.2 runs per game in their last 12 games. Including yesterday's upset, the White Sox continue to perform well in the big dog role while the Blue Jays are struggling as a big home fave so far this season. Once again, the Jays are over-priced here. Look for the hotter team, the White Sox, to improve to a fantastic 13-7 against left-handed starters on the season. Free Pick on Chicago White Sox on the money line very early Sunday afternoon. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

MLB | Rays vs Tigers
Play on: Rays +101 at 5Dimes

I'm recommending a play on the Tampa Bay Rays with Faria over Farmer. Buck Farmer was back to his old self after a couple of unlikely outings in which he won two games against the Angels and White Sox while allowing no runs. Farmer came into the season with an 0-6 career record and he showed that form when he was knocked out in the third inning after allowing six runs on nine hits, including two homers, in 2 1/3 innings against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. The Tigers will face rookie Jacob Faria, who has won his first two career starts in impressive fashion giving up just two runs on nine hits with 13 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings against the White Sox and Blue Jays. Tampa Bay has won four of the six meetings this year following Saturday's 3-2 win, which snapped a three-game losing streak, but the Rays still have won seven of their last 11 games overall. We'll back them here. We're recommending a play on the Rays on Sunday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

Soccer | Rosenborg vs Haugesund
Play on: Rosenborg -115 at Bovada

Rosenborg -115

Bonus Play is to take Rosenborg at -115 on Sunday at 12 noon. I think they win 1-0 or 2-1.

Edges - Royals: Vargas 9-4 with 2.10 ERA and 1.09 WHIP team starts this season… Angels: Ramierz 7.03 ERA last three starts. With Vargas 3-0 against A.L. West foes this season, we recommend a 1* play on Kansas City. Thank you and good luck as always.

MLB | BOS vs HOU
Play on: UNDER 9 -105

1* Bonus Play under Red Sox/Astros. Boston/Houston are a couple of the highest-scoring teams in the league and both of these starting pitchers have struggled at times this year. That’s why this total is as large as it is. However, I feel that the value swings the other way on Sunday night as I look for David Price and Joe Musgrove to battle into the latter innings. Price (1-1, 5.29 ERA, 1.18 WHIP) gave up three runs off four hits and four walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision against Phildalelphia on Tuesday. Price is still working his way back from his elbow injury, but his velocity is actually up slightly from last season. Musgrove (4-4, 4.89 ERA, 1.43 WHIP) started the year slowly, but has steadily been progressing. Like his counterpart, he also returned from injury in his last start and he’d go on to give up two runs off five hits and one walk over 4.1 innings (Musgrove has now posted a quality start in four of his last five outings). Both pitchers have been trending in the correct direction, so recent performance suggests a pitchers duel on Sunday night. Consider the under.

Free Selection from Jim Feist

Jim Feist's Comp Pick, Sunday, June 18, 2017

06/18 08:05 PM EST MLB (969) BOSTON RED SOX VS (970) HOUSTON ASTROS.
Take: UNDER THE TOTAL.

Reason: Your free pick for Sunday, June 18, 2017, comes in baseball as Boston heads to Houston to face the Astros. Boston is one of the worst home run hitting teams in baseball, 5-0 under against the AL West. Both teams have strong bullpen arms and the Red Sox have lefty David Price starting, with 21 Ks in 23 innings and batters hitting .200 off him. Houston has strong defense in the field, 33-16-6 under the total at home against a team with a winning record. Starter Joe Musgrove has allowed 2 runs his last two starts (11+ innings). Play Boston/Houston Under the total.
