MLB | LAD vs OAK
Play on: UNDER 7½ +105


Wednesday MLB Bonus Play. My selection is on the 'under' between Los Angeles and Oakland at 10:05 pm et on Wednesday.


We won with the 'under' in the opener of this series last night and I won't hesitate to go back to the well with the same play on Wednesday.


Clayton Kershaw will take the ball for the Dodgers. He's been rounding back into form lately, having worked at least six innings in six consecutive starts. Over his last three outings, spanning 19 2/3 innings pitched, he has allowed just four earned runs.


Mike Fiers will make his first start back with the A's after coming over from the Tigers. His last start was injury-shortened, but prior to that he had been working deep into ball games and pitching well. I expect him to put forth a strong performance in his first outing with his new club.


We're dealing with a relatively low total here but at the time of posting we're also looking at a plus money return with the 'under'. The low total is warranted in this case. Take the under (8*).

MLB | Red Sox vs Blue Jays
Play on: Red Sox -137 at BMaker


DMack's Bonus Play for Wednesday, August 8, 2018, is on the Boston Red Sox


You just don't want to step in from of the Red Sox at the moment. 9-1 L10 overall and 9-5 L14 road games, BoSox looked down and out late last night but pummeled the back of the Jays pen for 10-7 win. Boston now 46 games above .500 and facing a first-time starter (Mike Hauschild) that was just 7-6 and 4.86 in 19 AAA. He did throw six scoreless at Seattle in relief this week but expect regression against the big dogs. Less than 40 cents ??? Take Boston.

NFLX | Bears vs Bengals
Play on: Bengals -2½ -110 at 5Dimes


Play - Cincinnati Bengals (Game 254).


Edges - Bengals : 6-2 SUATS Home One of the preseason; and revenge from 33-7 loss as 6-point favorites during the regular season last year … Bears: 3-7 ATS Game One preseason. With that we recommend a 1* play on Cincinnati. Thank you and good luck as always.

CFL | Edmonton vs BC
Play on: BC +3½ -109 at GTBets
This is a Free #CFL play on the BC Lions. I cashed in a winner with the Lions as a double digit dog in their last game, a 27-18 loss on the road at Calgary. Veteran quarterback Travis Lulay had another solid game, throwing for 281 yards and a TD on 25-of-39 passing. The Edmonton Eskimos are second in the West with a 5-2 record, but many of their wins have come against inferior opponents. They didn't look all that impressive in a home and home series versus the Argos, losing 20-17 in Toronto and then winning by a single point at home. The Lions have only played two home games so far, winning both of them. The home team has won eight of the last 10 meetings between these teams, and the majority of those games have been decided by less than a TD. The Lions look good as a home dog getting a handful of points in a game that could go either way. Take BC. GL,

Wednesday comp play goes on the afternoon card as I look for Chris Archer and German Marquez to keep the bats on the quiet side at Coors Field as the Pirates and the Rockies end up holding Under the total.


Yesterday the Pirates posted 10 runs in a game that did land Over, but the fact remains, the Rockies are still on a 12-3-1 Under run their last 16 games played in their home ballpark.


Archer will be out to atone for his Pittsburgh debut in which he allowed 4 runs to the Cardinals. Do keep in mind the Pirates pitching staff does lead the N.L. with a 3.09 ERA since July the 8th.


Marquez is 3-0 with an ERA of 2.50 in 3 career starts against the Pirates, including an April win this season over the Bucs.


Look for the runs to not be enough to take this game Over the total.


Pirates-Rockies Under for Wednesday.


2* PITTSBURGH-COLORADO UNDER

My Bonus Play for tonight is on the San Diego Padres, over the Milwaukee Brewers. And in this game be sure you're listing ONLY San Diego starter Brett Kennedy.


In Tuesday's game, the Padres defeated the Brewers 11-5. Matt Strahm got the win for San Diego, his third on the season. That should spark Kennedy for his big outing.


The Padres right-hander is set to make his Major League debut in the middle game of this National League series, and you damn right I'm going to take a shot with the 24-year-old. Kennedy has far exceeded expectations, impressing scouts with Triple-A El Paso by going 10-0 with a 2.72 ERA in 16 starts.


He'll get the run support from the bat of Eric Hosmer, who is batting .253 with a .312 on-base percentage and .387 slugging percentage in 110 games this season. There's also Austin Hedges, who has been solid of late, with four home runs and seven RBIs while slugging .714 in his past 10 games.


Take the Friars and list Kennedy ONLY.


2* PADRES (List Kennedy)

My Bonus Play for Wednesday is an early total, getting you ready for third straight total winner tonight. This afternoon I want you playing the Seattle Mariners-Texas Rangers Under the posted total.


Since every MLB wager on a run line or total auto-lists pitchers, I want you to be sure the two pitchers on your ticket, when making this play, are Marco Gonzales and Yovani Gallardo. If they are not the pitchers of record when making your play, disregard this play.


The Mariners hand the ball to Gonzales, and I like what I've seen from the 26-year-old southpaw of late. He is 5-1 with a 2.18 ERA over his last six starts, with 38 strikeouts versus just five walks over 41 1/3 innings. Gonzales beat the Rangers on May 28 with one unearned run and four hits over 6 2/3 innings in a 2-1 victory in Seattle. So confidence will prevail here.


With Gallardo, we have a seasoned veteran who is 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA in his past three starts and 6-1 with a 5.24 ERA in eight starts for the Rangers since being called up from Triple-A Round Rock. the right-hander is just 2-2 in four career starts against the Mariners, all in 2015, but he also has a 2.42 ERA in those outings.


Look for a pitchers' duel here, as this one stays low.


4* UNDER Mariners-Rangers (Gonzales-Gallardo)

Your Wednesday freebie is the Yankees-White Sox to conclude their set with another Under.


The first pair in this three game series have both landed Under the total, as this series has now seen 3 straight, and 4 of the last 5 played between the clubs land Under the total.


New York is now 4-0-1 Under in their last 5 games, while Chicago has played each of their last 4 games Under the total.


The Yankees on the road, are now 22-8-3 Under the total, and while Luis Severino has been struggling, this is the type of team he can get back in the groove against. His lone start last year against the White Sox saw him toss 7 innings of one run ball. Look for a reprise tonight.


Lucas Giolito has gone 2-1 with a 3.19 ERA over his last 5 starts, and he is facing the Yankees for the first time ever. New York tends to struggle against pitchers they are seeing for the first time - see last night when they were getting no-hit into the 6th.


Play the Yanks and ChiSox Under.


2* N.Y. YANKEES-WHITE SOX UNDER

My free winner for tonight is on the Kansas City Royals over the Chicago Cubs.


And in this game I want you listing the scheduled starting pitchers: Jose Quintana and Heath Fillmyer.


We're taking a huge shot here, but I like the value with the Royals and Fillmyer here.


I know Quintana finally took direction from his pitching coach and delivered first-pitch strikes in his last outing, but that was also against the league's worst offense, the San Diego Padres. The left-hander is 3-9 with a 4.05 ERA in 24 career starts against the Royals, so this game isn't going to be a breeze for him.


I'd rather play the value with the young right-hander in a Royals uniform, as Fillmyer steps to the hill after lasting three innings against the Minnesota Twins before a 91-minute delay forced the Royals to turn to their bullpen last Friday. Fillmyer has allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his three starts since joining the rotation, and will be in his comfort zone tonight.


Play the Royals.


4* ROYALS (Fillmyer over Quintana)

7-unit Play. #58 (5dimes). Competition: Take Celtic (-138) over AEK Athens. (Wednesday @ 2:45 pm est)(For this to Win, Celtic must Win by 1 or more goals, Regulation + Injury time).

The third qualifying round of the Champions League continues on Wednesday as Scottish side Celtic host Greek side AEK Athens. Celtic won this opening Scottish Premier League match over the weekend 3-1 over Livingston which has Celtic in third on goal difference. Currently on an eight-match unbeaten run and winners of seven of these eight matches, Celtic have played in all three qualifying rounds. Over this eight-match stretch Celtic have outscored their opponents 24-2, this includes four Champions League matches and three Friendlies. In the Champions League Celtic are 3-0-1 in the first two qualifying rounds outscoring their opponents 9-1, playing out to a scoreless draw in their last match. At home in the Champions League, Celtic are 4-4-1 with losses to Barcelona, PSG, and Bayern Munchen. During this season's qualifying Celtic are 2-0-0 at home. For the visitors, AEK Athens wrapped the Greek Super League as winners last May with a six-point advantage over PAOK. Currently the 2018-19 season is not scheduled. Athens enters the Champions League at this qualifying stage with four preseason friendlies. Athens lost the Greek Cup 2-0 to PAOK in May, then has gone 1-1-2 in their four friendlies, winning their last match 3-2 over Galatasaray of Turkey. Athens have lost their last four Champions League matches only scoring 1 goal while conceding 9 goals Athens were knocked out of the Champions League qualifying last season by CSKA Moscow 3-0 on aggregate with a 10-year gap between appearances. This will be the first competitive meeting between these two sides.

MLB | Mariners vs Rangers
Play on: Mariners -145 at BMaker


Jack’s Free Pick Wednesday: Seattle Mariners -145


The Seattle Mariners will be highly motivated for a victory today against the Texas Rangers. They have lost six of their last eight games overall to fall out of the second wild card spot. They can’t afford to be losing to teams like Texas as they did yesterday.


No question the Mariners have the advantage on the mound this afternoon. Marco Gonzales is 12-6 with a 3.26 ERA and 1.146 WHIP in 22 starts this season. He is also 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA in two career starts against Texas.


Yovani Gallardo has bounced around the league a bunch in the last few years. He is 6-1 this season, but that is in spite of a 5.24 ERA and 1.433 WHIP in eight starts. He is simply getting lucky to get as much run support as he has.


Seattle is 7-0 in Gonzales’ last seven starts vs. AL West opponents. The Mariners are 6-1 in their last seven road games vs. a team with a losing record. The Rangers are 6-21 in home games against AL West foes this year. Bet the Mariners Wednesday.

MLB | CHC vs KC
Play on: UNDER 9 +100


On Wednesday night, Play Under on NL teams like the Cubs when the total is 8.5 to 10, who average 5.0 or more runs a game, against an AL starter whose ERA is 4.70 to 5.70, with a bullpen whose WHIP is 1.35 or better on the season. In the last 21 years, this situation is 42-15!
