KEY STAT: Mexico are unbeaten in their last 11 competitive games

EXPERT VERDICT: Mexico narrowly missed out on winning Group A but will be delighted with seven points from three games and have every chance of knocking out Germany in the semi-finals. Germany's victories have come against Cameroon and Australia but Mexico are likely offer a sterner test than either of those two.

RECOMMENDATION: Mexico to qualify

KEY STAT: Germany have won 12 of their last 14 competitive games

EXPERT VERDICT: Germany needed to show their penalty taking prowess against England but impressed throughout and can follow up by winning the final. The Germans are playing their fifth game in 13 days but looked strong on Tuesday and have a decent chance against Spain, who took advantage of the extra-man in the last 30 minutes of their semi-final success (3-1) over Italy.

KEY STAT: Progres have drawn one and lost 11 of their 12 European matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Rangers have not played in Europe for almost six years and couldn't have asked for a more gentle re-introduction than a Europa League first qualifying round tie with Progres Niedercorn, who finished fourth in the Luxembourg top flight last season. Progres lost 3-0 on aggregate to Shamrock Rovers at the same stage two seasons ago and face a tougher challenge against the Gers.

RECOMMENDATION: Rangers to win 4-0

Thursday's six-pack

— Angels 3, Dodgers 2— Game ended when Dodgers’ catcher threw the ball into RF trying to throw batter out at first after a strikeout/wild pitch. Winning run scored from second.

— Giants 5, Colorado 3— Rockies have scored 23 runs, hit .206 during 8-game skid.

— Phillies 5, Mariners 4— Seattle’s bullpen blew lead in ninth inning.

— Nationals 8, Cubs 4— Chicago swung at 54 Strasburg pitches, missed 26 times.

— Diamondbacks’ SS Nick Ahmed broke a bone in his hand Tuesday night when he was hit on the hand with a pitch. Tough blow for a red-hot Arizona squad.

— Chase Anderson, Milwaukee’s best pitcher, strained his oblique while batting in the second inning last night. No bueno.

League Betting Notes

-- Underdogs went 2-1-1 SU in Week 1
-- Underdogs went 4-0 ATS in Week 1
-- Home teams posted a 2-1-1 SU record in Week 1
-- Home/road teams posted a 2-2 ATS record in Week 1
-- The 'Under' went 3-1 in Week 1

Team Betting Notes

-- It was a Grey Cup rematch in Canada's capital city to kick off the 2017 regular season, and Calgary (0-0-1) played Ottawa (0-0-1) to a 31-31 tie. If that sounds familiar, it should, as the Stampeders and RedBlacks played to a 26-26 tie in the first regular season meeting last season in Ottawa on July 8. The teams will meet again in Week 2 on Thursday night on the prairie in Southern Alberta. It was the only 'over' result of the opening weekend, too.

-- Montreal (1-0) started its season on a positive note, edging Saskatchewan (0-1) by a 17-16 score. It is Montreal's third straight win against the RoughRiders, and their fourth straight win dating back to last season.

-- The Riders, who started out 0-3 SU/1-2 ATS last season, are also 0-3 SU/1-2 ATS over their past three regular season openers. Their last Week 1 victory and cover came in the 2014 season against Hamilton (0-1), the last time Saskatchewan made the postseason.

-- Speaking of the TiCats, they were rolled 32-15 on Sunday in their short trip up the QEW to Toronto (1-0). The Argos were underdogs by 3 1/2 points, but came away with the most lopsided win of the opening weekend. It was surprising considering the Argos were 1-2 SU/ATS last season against the TiCats, and 1-6 SU/ATS in the past seven regular season and postseason meetings.

-- Edmonton (1-0) pulled off the opening weekend's most surprising win, topping the BC Lions (0-1) as 4 1/2-point underdogs, 30-27. It was Edmonton's first win in Vancouver since June 28, 2014 after going 0-2 SU/ATS over the past two seasons.

-- Winnipeg (0-0) was on a bye for Week 1 with an odd amount of teams. The Blue Bombers will kick off their season in Saskatchewan on Saturday night. The Bombers are 4-1 SU/2-3 over their past five regular season games against the Riders.

Thursday's CFL betting preview and odds: Redblacks at Stampeders

Bo Levi Mitchell, who won the Most Outstanding Player in 2016, threw for 376 yards and two touchdowns last week versus Ottawa.

Ottawa Redblacks at Calgary Stampeders (-7.5, 57)

If you're already getting tired of betting baseball, don't sweat it. Las Vegas sportsbooks have plenty of wagering options beyond the bases. We're inside the Bellagio Las Vegas talking to sportsbook manager Dawn Bailey about the hottest wagers for the summer months.

The Calgary Stampeders host the Ottawa Redblacks in the second game of a home-and-home set Thursday. The Stampeders erased a 14-point deficit in the final 10 minutes of regulation to force overtime, but Rene Paredes missed a short field goal to win it in the first OT session, and they had to settle for a 31-31 tie - their second stalemate with the Redblacks in the last three regular-season meetings.

Calgary is 24-3 at home since the start of the 2014 season, including 9-0 in 2016, and hopes to continue its dominance at McMahon Stadium by upending the defending Grey Cup champions in the budding rivalry. Ottawa was left with a bittersweet feeling after going to overtime for the third time in the last four meetings with Calgary. The Redblacks were seemingly in control up by two touchdowns before Brendan Gillanders' fumble in the fourth quarter changed the complexion of the game, but they were aggrieved by some controversial calls that were not overturned by the CFL Command Centre. "It's really unpredictable and it's hard to know how things are going to be ruled on a replay," Ottawa coach Rick Campbell told reporters. "But the reffing is the least of our worries."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, TSN, RDS

LINE HISTORY: The Stampeders opened as seven-point home favorites for Grey Cup rematch v.2.0 and that spread was bet up slightly to -7.5. The total hit the betting boards at 58.5 and was dropped down to 57. Check out the complete line history here.

ABOUT THE REDBLACKS (0-0-1 SU, 1-0 ATS, 1-0 O/U): Trevor Harris started the season off with a bang as he completed 33-of-45 passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns in his first game as the undisputed starter following Henry Burris' retirement in the offseason. Free agent acquisition Kenny Shaw, who set career highs with 77 receptions and 1,004 receiving yards with the Toronto Argonauts last season, exited the game with an undisclosed injury as did running back William Powell after rushing for 30 yards on five carries. "I don't think Powell's overly serious," Campbell told reporters. "Kenny Shaw too as it seemed more of a minor thing."

ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (0-0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS, 1-0 O/U): Bo Levi Mitchell, who won the Most Outstanding Player in 2016, threw for 376 yards and two touchdowns to become the fifth quarterback in franchise history to surpass 15,000 yards. Marquay McDaniel caught 10 passes for 114 yards before leaving the game in the fourth quarter because of injury, but he's expected to suit up Thursday, however the outlook is not as rosy for DaVaris Daniels, who suffered an arm injury after hauling in four passes for 90 yards and will miss the rematch. Running back/kick returner Roy Finch was suspended with immediate effect by the CFL after testing positive for a banned substance.

TRENDS:

* RedBlacks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog.
* Stampeders are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite of 3.5-10.0.
* Over is 4-0 in RedBlacks last 4 games overall.
* Under is 18-4 in Stampeders last 22 games in June.
* Over is 5-0-1 in the last 6 meetings.

CONSENSUS: The road chalk Redblacks are getting 54 percent of the action from users and the Under is picking up 51 percent of the totals wagers. View full consensus data for this matchup here.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Mitchell has thrown for more than 300 yards in 14 of his last 19 regular-season starts.
2. The Redblacks have lost three straight games in Calgary by an average of 30.3 points.
3. The Stampeders are 19-4-2 against East Division teams since the start of 2014.

GAME: Texas Rangers (39-39) at Cleveland Indians (41-36)
DATE/TIME: Thursday, June 29 - 12:10 PM EST
WHERE: Progressive Field, Cleveland, Ohio
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Corey Kluber is unbeaten in five starts since spending nearly a month on the disabled list and looks to keep his dominating run going when the Cleveland Indians wrap up a four-game series against the visiting Texas Rangers on Thursday afternoon. The Indians improved to 2-4 on their seven-game homestand with a 5-2 victory on Wednesday.

The top four batters in Cleveland's lineup each recorded two hits, with Michael Brantley delivering a pair of RBI singles in his second game since coming off the disabled list. Kluber is 3-0 in his five starts this month, giving up only five earned runs while striking out 52 over 35 innings. The 2014 American League Cy Young Award winner has a chance to boost his impressive strikeout total against the Rangers, who are threatening the all-time record in June for whiffs as they've been fanned 42 times in the series thus far. Backup catcher Robinson Chirinos continues to make a case for a regular slot in Texas' lineup, homering in four straight games and seven of his last 10.

TV: 12:10 p.m. ET, FSN Southwest (Texas), SportsTime Ohio (Cleveland)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rangers RH Andrew Cashner (3-6, 3.50 ERA) vs. Indians RH Corey Kluber (6-2, 3.24)

Cashner is having trouble putting together back-to-back solid starts, which is reflected in how he went 3-3 over his last six starts before landing on the disabled list with an oblique strain. He was tagged for four runs and 10 hits in four innings at Houston last time out after yielding one run over seven frames at Washington in his previous turn. Cashner is 2-4 with a 3.79 ERA in seven road starts.

Kluber was overpowering in his last start against Minnesota, registering a season-high 13 strikeouts while permitting two unearned runs and three hits over seven innings. It was the third consecutive turn with a double-digit strikeout total for Kluber, who tossed his second three-hit shutout of the season at Baltimore on June 19. Adrian Beltre is 4-for-10 with a home run against Kluber.

WALK-OFFS

1. Rangers SS Elvis Andrus is 11-for-25 with three homers and eight RBIs over the first six contests of the team's seven-game road trip.

2. Indians MGR Terry Francona was back in the dugout and fitted with a heart monitor on Wednesday after feeling light-headed in the series opener.

3. Texas is 19 strikeouts away from breaking the AL record for most in the month of June, which was set in 2015 by Houston (278).

PREDICTION: Indians 6, Rangers 2

GAME: Kansas City Royals (38-38) at Detroit Tigers (34-43)
DATE/TIME: Thursday, June 29 - 1:10 PM EST
WHERE: Comerica Park, Detroit, Michigan
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Kansas City Royals will try for their sixth straight series win when they cap a three-game set at the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon. After dropping the opener of the series, the Royals utilized homers by Mike Moustakas and Salvador Perez to back a solid start by Ian Kennedy in Wednesday's 8-2 triumph.

Kansas City has won 12 of its last 16 overall and returned to .500 with the victory, giving the club a chance to match its high-water mark with a win in the series finale. Perez added an RBI double to his two-run blast and boasts 13 RBIs over a nine-game stretch, but he is just 1-for-10 with three strikeouts in his career against Michael Fulmer, who gets the nod in Thursday's matinee for the Tigers. Detroit has lost nine of 11 overall and seven of its last 11 at home, scoring a total of 10 runs over the past four contests at Comerica Park. Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has homered in consecutive games and is tied with Hall of Famer Andre Dawson for 39th on the all-time RBI list with 1,591.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Jakob Junis (2-1, 4.97 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Michael Fulmer (6-6, 3.29)

Junis has two quality starts in his last three turns after allowing two runs over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision against Toronto on Friday. He kept the ball in the park in that outing after giving up six home runs over his previous three starts. The 24-year-old is 2-1 with a 5.00 ERA in four road appearances (three starts).

Fulmer has recorded a quality start 12 times in 14 outings in 2017 but he was tagged with the loss despite letting up a run and two hits in seven innings at San Diego his last time out. The Oklahoma native, who walked a season-high four batters in each of his last two starts, has dropped five of six decisions since the middle of May. Fulmer owns a 2.36 ERA in four career starts versus Kansas City.

WALK-OFFS

1. Detroit activated DH Victor Martinez from the 10-day disabled list after he dealt with a cardiac issue, and optioned C/1B John Hicks to Triple-A Toledo.

2. Royals IF Cheslor Cuthbert (wrist) was placed on the DL and OF Jorge Soler was recalled from Triple-A Omaha.

3. Kansas City SS Alcides Escobar had three hits Wednesday and is batting .424 during his nine-game hitting streak.

GAME: Oakland Athletics (35-43) at Houston Astros (53-26)
DATE/TIME: Thursday, June 29 - 2:10 PM EST
WHERE: Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Houston Astros attempt to win their second series against the Oakland Athletics in less than two weeks when they host their American League West rivals on Thursday afternoon for the rubber match of their three-game set. Houston evened the set with Wednesday's 11-8 triumph after sweeping a four-game matchup in Oakland from June 19-22.

The Astros pounded out 17 hits in the win, with George Springer registering a pair of doubles and his franchise-record ninth leadoff home run of the season. The 27-year-old slugger, who has gone deep in three straight contests, is four leadoff blasts away from tying the major-league mark set in 2003 by Alfonso Soriano. Khris Davis belted two of the five home runs launched by Oakland, which had won the first four contests of its six-game road trip. The Athletics could be without Yonder Alonso on Thursday as the first baseman exited Wednesday's loss after fouling a ball off his right knee in the eighth inning.

TV: 2:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, ROOT Southwest (Houston)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics RH Daniel Gossett (1-2, 4.50 ERA) vs. Astros RH Brad Peacock (4-1, 2.82)

Gossett will fill in for injured right-hander Jharel Cotton and make his fourth major-league start - and first since recording his initial career victory on Saturday, when he allowed two unearned runs and five hits in six innings against the White Sox in Chicago. The outing also was the first in which the 24-year-old native of South Carolina did not surrender a home run. Gossett hopes to avenge a hard-luck loss to Houston on June 19 in which he gave up two runs and struck out six over 6 2/3 frames.

Peacock returns to the mound to make his seventh start of the season after spending time on paternity leave. The 29-year-old Floridian last pitched on June 19, when he defeated Gossett and the Athletics in Oakland after giving up one run and four hits while registering eight strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. Peacock is 2-4 with a 4.47 ERA in 13 career games (10 starts) against Oakland, including a pair of relief appearances in April.

WALK-OFFS

1. Springer is five homers shy of matching the career-high total of 29 he hit last season, and his 24 blasts are the most by a member of the Astros prior to the All-Star break since Lance Berkman belted that amount in 2006.

2. Cotton's start has been pushed back from Thursday to Saturday against Atlanta due to a blister on his right thumb.

3. Houston RHP Charlie Morton (lat) made his second rehab start for Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday and could rejoin the Astros' rotation on Sunday.

PREDICTION: Astros 7, Athletics 3

LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Arizona Diamondbacks seek to bounce back from a rare defeat when they conclude their three-game series against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday afternoon. St. Louis posted a 4-3 victory on Wednesday to gain a split of the first two games while the setback was just the fourth in the last 20 games for the Diamondbacks.

Arizona remained 1 1/2 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West despite a loss that was just its third in the last 18 home contests. Diamondbacks star Paul Goldschmidt has struck out four times during eight hitless at-bats in the series but is enjoying a big June, as he is batting .368 with six homers and 26 RBIs. Jedd Gyorko drove in two runs in Wednesday's victory and has collected eight RBIs over his last four games while reaching base seven times (four hits, three walks). Yadier Molina contributed a two-run single for the Cardinals and is riding a 14-game hitting streak.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Lance Lynn (5-5, 3.86 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks LH Patrick Corbin (6-7, 4.89)

Lynn's solid season has been dismantled with back-to-back poor outings against Baltimore and Pittsburgh, as he gave up seven runs in each defeat and served up a total of six homers. The 30-year-old allowed two or fewer earned runs in 10 of his first 13 starts before the troubles, and his .211 batting average against is fifth-best in the NL. Lynn is 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA in nine career appearances (seven starts) against the Diamondbacks and has experienced difficulties with David Peralta (5-for-7, one homer).

Corbin lost to Philadelphia in his last turn despite giving up one run and eight hits over 6 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old has fared well at home, going 5-2 with a 3.19 ERA compared to a 1-5 mark and 7.84 ERA in six road starts. Corbin is 1-1 with a 5.00 ERA in three career turns against the Cardinals and has struggled to retire Stephen Piscotty (4-for-7).

WALK-OFFS

1. Diamondbacks 3B Jake Lamb, who is 4-for-8 in the series, has hit just one homer over his last 16 games.

2. The Cardinals optioned SS Aledmys Diaz (a 2016 All-Star) to Triple-A Memphis and recalled INF Alex Mejia from the same club.

3. Arizona SS Nick Ahmed (fractured right hand) will miss six-plus weeks after undergoing surgery Wednesday, and the club recalled INF Ketel Marte from Triple-A Reno to fill his roster spot.

PREDICTION: Diamondbacks 8, Cardinals 7
