2-Unit Play: Take #943 Milwaukee over San Diego (10 p.m., Wednesday, October 7 FS1)

It ends tonight! Look for the Brewers to finish the job and advance to the NLCS for the second straight year. San Diego emptied the tank to hold on for last night’s victory and could still be without some key pieces tonight. The Padres have struggled to build on success, and I expect Milwaukee to take control and close out the series.

We have a rematch from the playoffs here and this should be a real competitive game, and we think both squads will get their share of the total. Edmonton has averaged over 5.5 goals so far on the young season and Anaheim is in the Top 10 for offense early with 3.5 goals per game. We think both of these teams will be in the Top 10 offensively when the season ends, barring major injury, and Edmonton will be in the Top 5. Edmonton has also been very shaky on defense and we think this one will develop into a shootout. Six straight meetings have gone over this 6.5 goal line.

2-Unit Play: Take #631 Las Vegas over Golden State (9:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 7 Peacock)

Las Vegas needs a win to keep its bid for back-to-back WNBA championships on track. The Aces have a veteran roster that understands the stakes and has experience playing in tough road environments. Golden State has a strong home-court advantage at Chase Center, but Las Vegas has the composure and experience to handle the pressure. Look for the Aces to come out on top and even the series at one game apiece.

Seattle is a team we are pretty high on to start the season and they haven’t disappointed us. They have played two games against Calgary, one of the worst teams in the league, but they dominated. They were right in their game against Edmonton at 1-1 in the last few minutes until a late goal then an empty netter. Seattle has won three of four meetings and three straight at home. This team has some exciting pieces and they should give Vegas a strong fight and this is a value play at these odds.

2 Unit Play. Take #935 Milwaukee over San Diego (9:30 p.m., Tuesday, October 6, FS1). The Brewers are looking to sweep the Padres and advance to the NLCS for the second straight year. I expect Milwaukee’s offense to deliver a strong performance and build an early lead, putting the pressure squarely on San Diego. The Padres need to win both home games to stay alive, and an early deficit could be tough to overcome. Milwaukee also has a strong bullpen to protect a lead. Even if this stays close, I trust the Brewers to finish the job.

2 Unit Play. Take #280 New Orleans Saints over Atlanta Falcons (8:15 p.m., Monday, October 5 | ESPN)

New Orleans needs a response. The Saints face the prospect of starting 1-3 overall and 0-2 at home, making this divisional matchup especially important. With two winnable home games ahead, they have an opportunity to get their season back on track.

Atlanta beat Green Bay last week, but I’m still not sold on the Falcons with Penix at quarterback. The trends favor New Orleans: Atlanta is 0-10 against the spread in its last 10 games following a double-digit win, while the Saints are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a loss.

If New Orleans intends to contend for the division and a playoff berth, it needs to protect its home field against a rival. Look for the Saints to bounce back Monday night.

2 Unit Play. Take #931 New York over Tampa Bay (8:07 p.m., Monday, October 5, TBS)
The Yankees face a must-win road game tonight. They cannot afford to fall behind 0-2 in this best-of-five series, especially with Cam Schlittler not available again until Game 5. New York pitched well in the opener, and another one-run effort should put them in position to even the series. Schlittler has been outstanding this season, posting a 14-6 record with a 1.95 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. We expect Tampa Bay to struggle against him and will back the Yankees at a short price with their path to the ALCS on the line.

4-Unit Play Take Calgary/Seattle UNDER 5.5 (8 p.m. EST, Sunday October 4)

Seattle has looked very strong defensively thus far and they held this same Calgary team to one goal when these teams met in the opener and last night they held Edmonton in check for most of the game until a couple late goals in the last three minutes of the game, including an empty netter. Both teams come in on a back-to-back and will probably be lacking offensive energy and we just don't see how Calgary will break out for much scoring on offense as they have looked horrible in that department so far. On defense, they will likely make adjustments from the recent meeting and a fatigued Kraken team will have trouble matching their output from that game.

Best of Luck - Doc's Sports

2 Unit Play. Take #272 San Francisco 49ers over Denver Broncos (4:25 p.m., Sunday, October 4, CBS)

I’m backing San Francisco at home against a Denver team that has struggled with slow starts. Falling behind early could prove costly against the 49ers, especially with Brock Purdy coming off a four-touchdown performance against Arizona last week.

San Francisco is also 5-0 against the spread in games immediately following an ATS loss. Denver benefited from some fortunate calls in last week’s win over Los Angeles, and I don’t expect those breaks to carry over on the road. Look for the 49ers to take control and get the job done at home.

8-Unit Play: Take #926 Milwaukee -135 over San Diego (4 p.m., Sunday, October 2, FS1) MLB PLAYOFF GAME OF THE YEAR

The Brewers showed some rust on Saturday but still found a way to grind out a victory. I expect Milwaukee to build on that win and take a 2-0 lead in this series.

Logan Henderson gets the ball after a strong season, finishing 11-3 with a 2.47 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP. I expect a big outing from him in front of the home crowd. San Diego counters with Michael King, who pitched well against the Cubs in the Wild Card round but struggled leading into that start. I look for Milwaukee to break through against him as this game progresses.

The bullpens should play an important role, and Milwaukee’s relief staff can match San Diego’s. Home-field advantage gives the Brewers the edge in what could be another tight game. Milwaukee has shown it can win in a variety of ways, and I don’t expect the Padres to collect another nine hits in this one. Take Milwaukee.

4-Unit Play UEFA Nations League Take Greece +0.5 (+105) over Germany (2:45 p.m. EST, Sunday October 4) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - need at least a draw here)

Greece have looked like one of the best sides in this tourney and they are going for the hardware. Germany haven't been playing with a full strength squad and they look entirely uninterested. Greece already won against Germany in their road match and at home they should play well enough for a point here.

Best of Luck - Doc's Sports

5-Unit Play: Take #625 New York +4.5 over Atlanta (2 p.m., Sunday, October 4, ABC)

The Liberty enter this matchup riding back-to-back wins over Minnesota, the best team in the regular season. After eliminating the Lynx, New York now faces an Atlanta team that I consider a step down in competition.

All three regular-season meetings were blowouts, with Atlanta taking two of the three. However, the Liberty won in Atlanta, and they're playing much better basketball heading into this matchup. They also come in rested after their impressive finish against Minnesota.

I expect a competitive game that comes down to the final possessions, making the points valuable with a confident New York team. Take the Liberty with the points.

2 Unit Play. Take #211 Texas State Bobcats over San Diego State Aztecs (10:30 p.m., Saturday, October 3, CW)

San Diego State enters this matchup at Snapdragon Stadium with three straight losses, each by at least 13 points, and health concerns affecting more than 10 players. Texas State has been average overall, but its offense has produced plenty of points over the past two weeks. If the Bobcats can score in the high 30s, I don’t believe the Aztecs will have enough offense to keep pace. I’m backing Texas State.

Both teams are looking for their first win and this will be the third try for the defending champs, who are on a back-to-back after losing vs the Caps last night. This team has great depth, however, and they really won’t want to start the season 0-3, so we think they will circle the wagons tonight and find a way to pull out the win. They have had a tough schedule to start. But they have won 18 of the last 20 meetings with the Flyers.

2 Unit Play. Take #919 New York over Tampa Bay (6:30p.m., Saturday, October 3 TBS) The Yankees pitched their way to success and got hitting up and down their lineup in the later innings. I look for that to carryover into Saturday when game one of the 2026 Divisional Round opens up at Tropicana Field. This was a very competitive season series going 7-6 to the Rays, but I still believe in Gerrit Cole. I don’t trust the Rays to hit a bunch of home runs and I feel the Yankees will grind out a victory in game one.

2 Unit Play. Take #148 James Madison Dukes over Marshall Thundering Herd (3:45 p.m., Saturday, October 3 | ESPNU)

James Madison reached the playoffs last season and has carried that momentum into a strong start in 2026. Marshall’s 3-1 record looks respectable, but the schedule tells a different story. After getting blown out by Penn State in Week 1, the Thundering Herd squeaked past MTSU by two points, Missouri State by six and Gardner-Webb by one.

Now Marshall faces a Dukes team with a powerful rushing attack and a top-rated defense. The Herd surrendered more than 500 yards to Missouri State, and JMU has the firepower to exploit those weaknesses. Look for the Dukes to control the ground game, dictate the pace and pull away. I’m calling for a James Madison win by 20+ points.

This is a rematch of the playoffs last season and the Ducks season opener. It's also a regional rivalry. We think we will see both teams step up the defense here. Four of the last six games went under this total. The Ducks could be rusty in their first game and we don't expect Vegas to score five goals like they did in their opener vs. the Blackhawks.

3-unitPlay.  Take #674 Calgary-Saskatchewan OVER 62.5 (Friday, Oct. 2nd, 9:30 p.m. CFL+)

This total is too low for a Calgary offense averaging 35.7 points and a defense giving up 34.0. Twelve of the Stampeders' 15 games have gone over, and the last two produced 78 and 76 combined points, including a 45-31 win over Ottawa. Saskatchewan averages 28.5 and just lost 31-24 to BC, so the Riders do not have to keep pace for this to clear. Mosaic is cool and dry, which should not slow the passing game, and a West race game is a bad spot for either side to sit on the ball. Whether Regina pulls away or Calgary hangs around, the Stampeders' leaky games keep producing points. 

3 Unit Play — Take #31 Florida -140 over San Jose (10:07 p.m., Thursday, October 1, ESPN+) Florida enters the season with a revamped roster and opened with a 1-0 overtime win over Carolina. The Panthers will look to turn the page after dropping both meetings with San Jose last season by a combined score of 7-2. The Sharks remain in rebuilding mode, and I expect Florida to get the better of them this time.

2 Unit Play — Take #619 Indiana over Las Vegas (9 p.m., Thursday, October 1, USA Network) This winner-take-all matchup should come down to the wire. The top seeds have struggled throughout the playoffs, with the No. 1 seed eliminated and the No. 2 seed pushed to a decisive Game 3. The defending champions are under pressure, and Indiana appears to be playing better basketball right now. Indiana has won three of the last five meetings with Las Vegas, with only one of those two losses coming by a lopsided margin. I’m backing Indiana to advance.

3 Unit Play. Take #615 Over in Golden State @ Dallas (9 p.m., Wednesday, September 30, ESPN) The Valkyries have dominated this matchup, but the over has been rewarding bettors as well. Five of the eight meetings have gone over the total, including five of the last six. These teams combined for 184 points on Sunday, making a total below 160 too appealing to pass up. Look for another high-scoring game.

2 Unit Play. Take #906 New York over Boston (8:10 p.m., Wednesday, September 30, NBC) It ends tonight! Look for the Yankees to finish the job and advance to face the Tampa Bay Rays in the divisional round this weekend. Winning Game 1 has been crucial in these short series, with the opening-game winner taking 15 of the 16 wild card series. Max Fried has been outstanding down the stretch, allowing one run or fewer in seven of his last eight starts. That includes New York’s 9-2 victory over Boston on August 29. Sonny Gray, meanwhile, allowed three runs in two of his last three starts, and I’m not sold on his ability to deliver in this postseason spot. Boston’s lineup doesn’t scare me, and I expect Fried to come up big for the home team.

4-Unit Play Take NY Islanders/Toronto OVER 6 (-110) (7:30 p.m. EST, Wednesday September 30)

Love the over here for this one. The public is on the under here because of the Islanders excellent goaltending and their inconsistent offense. But they have scored four goals in each of the last two season openers and we think we will see their offense have some success tonight. Toronto is coming off a game against their biggest rival and we don't see them playing the same kind of hard nosed defense tonight and their offense will probably have a better night offensively as the Canadiens, their opening night opponent, might have one of the best defenses in the league this season. So with that game out of the way we see some more goals for Toronto and they don't want to start the season 0-2.

7-Unit Play MLS Take St. Louis -110 over New York Red Bulls (7:30 p.m. EST, Wednesday September 30) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if game ends in a DRAW we have a LOSER)

St. Louis is playing some of the best soccer in MLS and is now on a 17-match unbeaten streak, and this is after a very slow start to the season. This is a make up match and it comes at a bad time for the Red Bulls, who have many players out for the International Break. Even with a full roster this side hasn't been any good. They have scored only four goals in five matches. They have won two straight but those were both on the road. For some reason this team has been much better on the road than at home, where they have won just one in their last five here in New York. They are the second worst home side in the East and St. Louis is in the Top 5 for road performance in the West. They have won three of their last five on the road and notched three goals in each of those wins. They have 10 goals in their last five matches, and they have the firepower and the form to collect the full three points here on the road.

Best of Luck - Doc's Sports

2-Unit Play: Take #944 San Diego over Chicago (10:10 p.m., Tuesday, September 29, Peacock). San Diego has the edge in this matchup, with the entire best-of-three series set for Petco Park. Michael King put together a strong season, posting a 3.21 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP, and I trust him more than the soft-tossing Matthew Boyd. Look for the Padres to break through against Boyd and give King enough support to take the crucial series opener.

7-Unit Play: Take #611 Minnesota over New York (8:30 p.m., Tuesday, September 29, CNBC). Minnesota faces a must-win situation, and I don’t see the league’s best team getting swept by the No. 8 seed. New York has shown its age this season, and I’m skeptical it can repeat Sunday’s performance. The Lynx went 18-4 on the road this season, proving they can deliver away from home. New York’s recent losses have come by margins of 18, 11, 9, and 7 points—all exceeding tonight’s posted number. Expect Minnesota to dig deep, respond with a strong effort, and come out on top.

2 Unit Play. Take #606 Golen State over Dallas (9p.m., Sunday, September 27 USA Network) The Valkyries got us on Thursday when they did not play well but we will back them again on Sunday. They have beaten Dallas 6 straight games and only one of those games was below a 5 point deficit.

7 Unit Play. Take #461 Seattle Seahawks over Washington Commanders (1 p.m., Sunday, September 27, FOX) Seattle is getting healthy, while Washington continues to deal with devastating injuries. The Commanders will be without Jayden Daniels and must turn to Marcus Mariota, whose career record sits 10 games below .500. Washington is 3-7 without Daniels over the last three seasons and has not won at Northwest Stadium since beating the Raiders on September 21, 2025. That makes it difficult to put much stock in its home-field advantage. Seattle holds the edge on both sides of the ball, with a defense that has allowed just 8.5 points per game through two games. Expect Jaxon Smith-Njigba to make a major impact regardless of who starts at quarterback for the Seahawks. Look for Seattle to improve to 3-0 with a double-digit victory.

2 Unit Play. Take #399 Over in Oregon Ducks @ USC Trojans (7:45 p.m., Saturday, September 26 NBC) We expect both teams to score in the 30s, making the over our play in this matchup of former Pac-12 rivals now competing in the Big Ten. USC can put up points, especially at home, but its defense remains a concern after allowing 35 points to Rutgers. Oregon has talented playmakers and should enter this game with urgency, already carrying one loss and facing little room for error. Expect a shootout with both offenses finding success. Rather than picking a winner, we’re backing these teams to push the total over.

7-Unit Play: Take #904 Washington +115 over New York (12:35 p.m., Saturday, September 26 | MLB.tv) Note the early start time. Play this game as action.

Connelly Early makes his first start for Washington since being traded from Boston, and the Nationals are expected to keep his outing short. Opposing him is Jonah Tong, who has allowed at least four earned runs in three of his last four starts.

Washington is aiming to finish the season with 88 wins and has added motivation after being swept by the Mets in their last series. I expect the Nationals to respond here. Their strong lineup holds the edge in the offensive numbers, making Washington an appealing choice at this underdog price.

2 Unit Play. Take #328 Tennessee Volunteers over Texas Longhorns (12 p.m., Saturday, September 26 ABC) I don’t trust Texas to consistently win these types of games on the road. Home teams have prevailed in many of college football’s biggest matchups this season, and I expect Tennessee to push the Longhorns to the limit. Manning played well late against Ohio State, but his overall performance this season has been uneven. Tennessee starts a freshman quarterback, but the home crowd should help him settle in, especially if the Volunteers can establish the run. Expect a tight game from start to finish, with Tennessee covering regardless of who wins outright.

2 Unit Play. Take #973 Houston over Seattle (10:10p.m., Wednesday, September 23 ESPN) We used the Astros last night at an underdog price and we will back them again on Wednesday. Houston is in a battle with Texas for the final playoff spot. Both teams need to win their division to get into the playoffs. Seattle has nothing to play for and thus I do not see them putting up much of a fight in this series. They got shutout last night by a score of 7-0.

4 Unit Play. Take #616 Under 176.5 in Atlanta @ New York (8p.m., Wednesday, September 23 USA Network) This is the final game for both teams in the regular season. There is some seedings situations but we will not worry if these teams go all out to win and instead just focus on the total. This is a rematch from Tuesday and usually when that happens the scoring is lower in the second game.

2 Unit Play. Take #923 Houston over Seattle (9:40p.m., Tuesday, September 22 MLB.tv) The Astros are fighting for their playoff lives trailing the Ragers by a game in the standing and the White Sox by 3 in the wild card. They play one of the most disappointing teams in the league. I don’t expect the Mariners to go all out in this series and thus Houston gets a much-needed victory in the Pacific Northwest.

4 Unit Play. Take #610 Indiana over Minnesota (8p.m., Tuesday, September 22 ESPN) This game means something to both teams and thus I expect them to go all out to try and win it. Indiana wants homecourt in the first round of the WNBA playoffs and Minnesota wants to No. 1 overall seed. The Fever are coming off a no-show last game and expect them to come ready to play for 40 minutes in this game.

4 Unit Play. Take #604 Phoenix +5.5 over Dallas (10p.m., Monday, September 21 USA Network) The final week of the WNBA regular season has arrived with it ending on Thursday. Dallas is trying to get out of the eight seed, but I do not see them blowing out the Mercury in this game. I expect it to go down to the wire and we will grab the points.

2 Unit Play. Take #920 Los Angeles over Minnesota (4:07p.m., Sunday, September 20 MLB.tv) The Halos are going for a series win on Sunday against the Twins. Anaheim has won 2 of 3 so far with both wins coming in extra innings. I see them winning this game more comfortably on Sunday behind Ryan Johnson.

2 Unit Play. Take #270 Denver Broncos over Jacksonville Jaguars (4:05 p.m., Sunday, September 20 CBS). I’m not going to overreact to either team’s Week 1 performance. Jacksonville faced a weak Cleveland team, while Denver struggled on both sides of the ball against Kansas City. The Chiefs moved the ball effectively, and Bo Nix had a rough outing under center. Still, I expect Denver to respond at Empower Field in a game it needs to keep pace in the AFC West. Look for Sean Payton to make adjustments and the Broncos’ defense to rebound with consistent pressure on Trevor Lawrence.

2 Unit Play. Take #255 Pittsburgh Steelers over New England Patriots (1p.m., Sunday, September 20 CBS) Pittsburgh went into New England last season and handed New England one of their 3 regular season loses. The Patriots gave away a game to the Seahawks almost two weeks ago and they had to simmer with that taste in their mouth. Drake Maye did not play well in the fourth quarter. Pittsburgh did not play well either in their victory against Atlanta, but their defense came to play, and I see them taking this one down to the wire.

2 Unit Play. Take #650 Golden State over Seattle (9p.m., Saturday, September 19 Prime Video) Golden State has been one of the surprise teams this season and I see them beating Seattle for the third time this season. The Valkyries won big and the Storm got blown out in their first game back.

2 Unit Play. Take #189 Virginia Tech Hokies over Maryland Terrapins (7:30p.m., Saturday, September 19 FS1) The line of this game tells me something. These coaches faced off before when Franklin was at Penn State. He had good success when he was favorite in a game covering the spread 58% of the time when he was expected to win. Analytics give the Hokies a 58% chance to win this game as well. Maryland seems to follow a similar pattern under Coach Locksley. They beat some mid-majors earlier in the season and then come apart when conference play starts. I see them struggling to win this game and if it is close I feel Maryland will find a way to lose it.

2 Unit Play. Take #178 Under in Nevada Wolf Pack @ Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders (7p.m., Saturday, September 16 ESPN+) Nevada scored just 7 points last week against an FCS team. They might get their starting quarterback back for this game but I do not see them lighting up the scoreboard. MTSU has given up 52 and 54 points in their first two games, but I see this game being played in the forties. These two teams met last year in Reno and just 27 points were scored in this game. Neither team is very good and I expect both teams to try and run the football and chew up clock.

2 Unit Play. Take #961 Over in Boston @ Tampa Bay (4:10p.m., Saturday, September 19 MLB.tv) This is a pitcher friendly park, but I do not have much confidence in either starting pitcher. Brayan Bello has a 4.74 E.R.A., he has pitched better of late but I do not see him dominating in this game.

2 Unit Play. Take #148 Rutgers Scarlet Knights over USC Trojans (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 19 CBS) Rutgers is terrible, but USC has also been terrible when they travel east. This is the Trojans first trip to Piscataway and Rutgers did play better in their game last week against Boston College. Southern Cal is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 conference road games when they are a 14 point or more favorite. Rutgers is not going winless and I feel they can keep this game competitive for 60 minutes and lose in the teens.

7 Unit Play. Take #968 Los Angeles -105 over Minnesota (9:38p.m., Thursday, September 17 MLB.tv) The Twins head to Los Angeles off a marathon 13 inning game in Minneapolis on Wednesday afternoon. They blew through their bullpen, and I feel the Halos will take them down in the first of this four-game series. Minnesota will face the best the Angels have in Walbert Urena. He has a 2.88 E.R.A. on the year and a strong strikeout to walk ratio and has only allowed 9 home runs in 137+ innings. Taj Bradley has been pitching better of late, but I don’t see him being effective in this game. Los Angeles wins game behind strong pitching and clutch hitting.

4 Unit Play. Take #631 Over 177.5 in Los Angeles @ Dallas (8p.m., Thursday, September 17 USA Network) The WNBA is back on Thursday night and we expect a high scoring game in this matchup between the Sparks and the Wings. I expect both teams to reach the 90s in points and thus we will not worry if the Wings cover the spread and just collect with the over.

6-Unit Play Europa League Take Celtic -140 over Ferencvaros (3 p.m. EST, Thursday September 17) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if  game ends in a DRAW we have a LOSER)

It looked like Celtic was a shoo in for the Champions League as they were up in the second leg 4-0 on aggregate against LASK Linz before allowing five unanswered goals and losing the playoff, getting demoted to Europa League as a result. But this Celtic side should be a force here in Europa action and they are at home here where they went up 3-0 in that Champions League playoff and they are on a 10-match unbeaten run here at Celtic Park. Ferencvaros are in strong form but Celtic is in a much stronger league than the Hungarian top flight and Celtic should be primed for a strong effort here at home, where they are incredibly tough to beat. Celtic have triumphed in the last two meetings and won 2-0 the last time these sides clashed at Celtic Park.

Best of Luck - Doc's Sports

2 Unit Play. Take #917 New York (-1.5 RL) +110 over Minnesota (1:40p.m., Wednesday, September 16 MLB.tv) This line has went up this morning and now the value lies with the run line. Minnesota has thrown in the towel on the season in 2026. They have been outscored 16-4 in the first two games, and I see this game following a similar path to those.

2 Unit Play. Take #971 New York (-1.5 RL) over Minnesota (7:40p.m., Tuesday, September 15 MLB.tv) The Twins have mailed it in on the season and the Yankees are still fighting for the No. 1 seed. Minnesota led 2-1 in the eighth inning last night and still lost 8-3. Now they face a better pitcher in Max Fried and I see the Yankees winning this game big. New York holds a 25-11 record against Minnesota in the last 36 games.

8-Unit Play Spanish LaLiga Take Elche/Real Madrid OVER 3.5 (-135) (3:30 p.m. EST, Tuesday September 15) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time)

Love this matchup here for the over and there is immense value in the line. Elche have allowed an average of four goals in their two home matches thus far this season and Real Madrid have one of the best attacking teams in the world and this side could easily surpass the total as a team today. Elche should be good enough on offense to contribute at least a goal. Real Madrid has averaged nearly three goals per match. They scored four last time out vs. a Rayo Vallecano side that is much better defensively than Elche. The last time we saw Real Madrid on the road they lost 1-0 at Real Betis. We watched the entirety of that match and would have to say if they played the same way against Elche they will rack up 4-5 goals easy. Valles, the goalkeeper for Bettis, played hero ball on that day and not only saved a penalty but kept Madrid off the scoresheet despite an expected goals number of close to 3 and eight shots on goal. Real Madrid has so many goal scoring weapons. You have barely heard about Vinicius Jr, the Brazilian striker who is one of the best players in the world, because Mbappe has been racking up goals with six in five matches to lead LaLiga. They also have Jude Bellingham who is always a threat every time he touches the ball. All three of the last meetings between these sides saw four or more goals scored, and in two of those Real Madrid scored four goals. And this side is better on offense than any of those sides. Barcelona scored five at Elche recently and we think Real Madrid could match that today, but we think it's extremely likely they score at least four goals.

2 Unit Play. Take #615 New York over Minnesota (7:40p.m., Monday, September 14 MLB.tv) The Twins are reeling from the weekend series. Their best hitter and their best pitcher are injured (Buxton) or not performing well (Ryan). Dean Kramer has not been very good this season and the Twins have lost 4 of his last 5 starts. New York still has visions of winning the AL East and they need to win this series to keep that hope alive. The Yankees are 25-11 in their last 36 games against the Twins.

2 Unit Play. Take #477 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (4:25p.m., Sunday, September CBS) I am not buying the resurgence of the Vikings behind Kyler Murray. Green Bay is very familiar with this dome and has had success against them in past years. The Packers are on underdog due to injuries, but they still have a great offensive mind that usually does well early in the season. The Packers have started off at least 2-1 the last 7 years.

2 Unit Play. Take #464 Houston Texans over Buffalo Bills (1p.m., Sunday, September 13 CBS) Buffalo had a coaching change and now must face one of the best defenses in the league. Houston has beaten Buffalo straight-up in 2 of the last 3 meetings. The home team is 4-0 ATS stretching that out. Buffalo has struggled on the road against AFC South teams going 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. I refuse to believe CJ Stroud will play as bad as he did last year in the playoffs. Buffalo has not been a great defensive team and I see Houston getting confident and coming out on top. Houston has sacked Josh Allen eight times and forced 5 turnovers in the last two games these two teams have faced one another.

2 Unit Play. Take #462 Pittsburgh Steelers over Atlanta Falcons (1p.m., Sunday, September 13 FOX) We will back the veteran quarterback and head coach in this game. The Steelers are 7-2-1 in Week 1 the last 10 years. Pittsburgh is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. The Falcons have a new coach and quarterback issues. Atlanta has never won a game in Pittsburgh.

2 Unit Play. Take #398 Oregon State Beavers over Texas Tech Red Raiders (7:30p.m., Saturday, September 12 CBS) This is a lot of points to be laying in a true road game for the Red Raiders. Texas Tech won last year in Lubbock by a score of 45-14. Oregon State should be better this season with a new coach, `and I see them keeping this game under 30 points. They showed some life last week against another Texas school in Houston and I see this game playing out similar to that one.

2 Unit Play. Take #387 Navy Midshipmen over FAU Owls (7:30p.m., Saturday, September 12 ESPNU) Navy has won 3 straight games against FAU. The Owls got run over by Florida last Saturday and I see a carryover effect into this game. The Gators moved up and down the field with 624 yards of offense including 281 yards on the ground (6.9 yards per carry). I look for Navy to control this game on the ground and come out with a double digit victory on the road.

2 Unit Play. Take #322 Army Black Knights over USF Bulls (12p.m., Saturday, September 12 CBSSN) The Bulls are in rebuild mode under Coach Brain Hartline and they struggled on offense last week against FIU. They won that game 19-9, but the main point of that game was they led 3-0 in turnovers. Army returns a ton of experience on offense, and I see them moving up and down the field in this game. The Bulls do not have the weapons yet to exploit the Black Nights through the air. I see Army winning this game by double digits.

7 Unit Play. Take #967 Cleveland over Minnesota (8:10p.m., Friday, September 10 MLB.tv) The Guardians still have life in the AL Central and the No. 2 seed. In order to accomplish that they need to beat the teams below them in the standings. Minnesota has fallen apart of late and I do not see them getting out of this funk without Bryon Buxton. Parker Messick takes the mound for the Guardians, and he has been solid this season with a 2.53 E.R.A. and a 1.04 WHIP. Taj Bradley has been okay this season as well, but it seems like the Field of Dreams game got his out of whack and I see Cleveland getting to him at some point in this game. The Twins have not won many series of late and I do not see them winning game one tonight at Target Field.

2 Unit Play. Take #962 Detroit over Minnesota (1:10p.m., Wednesday, September 9 MLB.tv) This is the rubber game of this series and I see Detroit winning the day game finale. Both games have been decided by one run but the Tigers have the better pitcher on the mound this afternoon in Keider Montero. He got hit hard last time out by I expect him to bounce back in a big way on Wednesday. Detroit is getting their hitters back and Minnesota is still without Buxton. Neither team will be making the playoffs and thus I will side with the better pitcher on Wednesday.

2 Unit Play. Take #229 Louisville Cardinals +6.5 over Ole Miss Rebels (7:30p.m., Sunday, September 6 ABC) Louisville is becoming a popular pick among wise guys due to their coach. Coach Brohm seems to thrive in this type of role when he is an underdog of six or more points. The last 11 times this situation has occurred he has won 8 of them straight up. This game is being played in Nashville, and I expect Louisville to have the edge in crowd. I am not sold on Pete Golding as a head coach or Ole Miss as a consistent winner in the SEC. They still have their quarterback, but they do not have the offensive mind of Lane Kiffin anymore. This game should be going down to the wire, and we will grab the points.

2 Unit Play. Take #901 Milwaukee over Cincinnati (12:10p.m., Sunday, September 6 MLB.tv) I feel Kyle Harrison has something left in the tank and will bounce back in this game in a big way. The Reds are not any good and they were lucky to hold on for a victory yesterday. I see the Brewers winning this finale in a blowout and we will back the best team in baseball on Sunday.

2 Unit Play. Take #307041 Mercyhurst Lakers over New Mexico State Aggies (9p.m., Saturday, September 5 ESPN+) The Lakers actually played a game last week as well losing to Youngstown State. New Mexico State is getting credit for hanging with Florida State last Saturday, but I see them falling back in this game. FSU has a coach on the hot seat and they are just not that good. NMSU has a high school coach that has not had much success in college and I do not see them winning this game by 30+ points. The last two years facing FCS teams, they beat Bryant by 16 points and SE Missouri State by 7 points. This game should follow along that line.

3 Unit Play.  Take #972 Chicago -120 over Minnesota (7:10p.m., Saturday, September 5 MLB.tv) We will continue bet this low numbers fading Minnesota. We have done it most of the last week and expect another cash on Saturday. The Twins are not very good and the White Sox are fighting for a bye in the American League.

2 Unit Play. Take #208 Oregon Ducks over Boise State Broncos (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 5 CBS) The line in this games tells you a lot about the talent disparity in 2026 between Boise State and Oregon. This is not a traditional Bronco team and I expect them to struggle in the trenches. This is the sixth straight year Boise State begins their season on the road and they are 0-4 ATS the last 4 years in their opening game. The Ducks did not finish out the season strong and I expect them to want to light up the scoreboard with a new offensive coordinator in this game. This seems like a lot of points, but Oregon usually destroys nonconference opponents in Eugene and this game should be no different.

2 Unit Play. Take #160 West Virginia Mountaineers over Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (12p.m., Saturday, September 5 TNT) Rich Rod is still coaching and this is year two at West Virginia. Coastal Carolina has a new coach, and they are coming off back-to-back 6-7 seasons. They do not return much experience (by choice) with a new coach wanting his own players. This is a rebuilding year for CC and thus we will follow the line movement and back the home team. The last time these two teams played, West Virginia won 31-0. This line has jumped from the opening by 4 points and it is with good reason.

2 Unit Play. Take #307005 Tarleton State Texans over Bowling Green Falcons (12p.m., Saturday, September 5 ESPN+) This is a small line for a game against an FCS team, but I just feel Tarleton State is the better team. Eddie George regressed this team last year going from 7-6 to 4-8. They won just one game after October 12 in 2025 and they just struggle to score points. The Texans got in a game last week and had a great year in 2025 making the FCS Playoffs. They can score enough points to win this game against a rebuilding program.

2 Unit Play. Take #920 Chicago -115 over Minnesota (7:40p.m., Friday, September 4 MLB.tv) These two teams met last weekend and I see Chicago winning again tonight for the third time in the last four games. Both starting pitchers pitched last weekend, and both their teams won during their start. Erick Fedde has allowed just two runs combined in his last 3 starts. Chicago improves their standing on Friday night.

7 Unit Play. Take #919 Detroit +100 over Minnesota (7:40p.m., Wednesday, September 2 MLB.tv) It is hard to sweep a divisional opponent, and I do not see the Twins completing this sweep on Wednesday night. The Tigers have the better starting pitcher on the mound in Drew Anderson. He has allowed 3 earned runs or less in all of his starts this season. He has been a tough luck loser of late, but he should receive plenty of run support against Dean Kremer. He has been hit hard of late allowing 11 earned runs in his last 3 starts with just under 15 innings of work. I just cannot see the Tigers getting to him at some point in this game. Getting the Tigers at an underdog price is too good to pass up.

3 Unit Play. Take #959 Over 7.5 in Philadelphia @ Arizona (9:40p.m., Tuesday, September 1 MLB.tv) Both teams have a bunch of chances on Monday to score and I see them cashing in on those chances on Tuesday. Eduardo Rodriguez has been strong of late, but I just do not believe he will be able to dominate this Phillies lineup. Lefties actually hit him better than righties. Philadelphia will counter with Jesus Luzardo and he has received strong run support of late. 42 combined runs have been scored in his last 4 starts and I see this total reaching double digits as well.

3 Unit Play. Take #913 Detroit +110 over Minnesota (7:40p.m., Monday, August 31 MLB.tv) Taj Bradley has been heading the wrong direction of late and his team is following suit. Minnesota won yesterday but they have lost 3 straight series and have fallen out of contention in the wild card race. The Twins have lost the game in 4 of the last 5 starts Bradley has made. Jackson Jobe has been better of late with back-to-back solid outings. Detroit can get even in the loss column with a win tonight with the Twins and I see that happening.

4 Unit Play. Take #623 Los Angeles over Seattle (5p.m., Sunday, August 30 League Pass) The Sparks have won 4 of the last 5 meetings and the Storm are just 2-8 in their last 10 games overall. Los Angeles has shown a little bit of life of late winning 2 of their last 3 games.

5 Unit Play. Take #965 Chicago over Minnesota (2:10p.m., Sunday, August 30 MLB.tv) We have used the White Sox in the first two games when they were underdogs and we will back them again on Sunday. Minnesota is really struggling at the moment and Chicago sees a path to the No. 2 seed in the American League. Jordan Hicks has been strong this season as an opener and the team has won 3 of his last 4 games in which he has appeared him. Zebby Matthews has given up 19 home runs this season in a pitcher friendly ballpark and I see Chicago completing the sweep of Minnesota on Sunday.

3 Unit Play. Take #315 Over in Memphis Tigers @ UNLV Rebels (10p.m., Saturday, August 29 FOX) Memphis gave up a ton of points last season and UNLV has a strong offensive minded coach. UNLV is predicted to be a top team in the newly formed MWC and they have a new quarterback with experience at different schools. Memphis finished 2025 struggling on defense giving up at least 28 points in 4 of their last 5 games. UNLV has proven they can score points and they are a tough team on the turf in Sin City. The Rebels scored at least 29 points in all of their regular season games in 2025. The total has been coming down this week and now it is a strong play.

3 Unit Play. Take #313 Over in San Jose Spartans @ USC Trojans (3p.m., Saturday, August 29 NBC) When USC has a strong defense under Lincoln Riley I will take note. He is an offensive minded coach and they way he has won game in the past is by outscoring his opponents. The Spartans were able to score points at times in 2025 but had trouble stopping teams. They did not face an offense as strong as USC will show on Saturday and I think the Trojans will come close to covering this total by themselves. I see this being a 52-17 type of game, as Coach Riley wants to run it up if he has the chance.

3 Unit Play. Take #915 Chicago over Minnesota (2:10p.m., Saturday, August 29 MLB.tv) Not sure why the Twins are continued to be favored in these games against the best team in the AL Central. Minnesota has taken a noise dive of late, and I do not see them getting out of this funk anytime soon.

8-UnitPlay. Take #679 Montreal -6.5 over Winnipeg (Friday, August 28th, 8:30 p.m. CFL+)

Montreal should cover against Winnipeg because the Alouettes have become the CFL's most complete and dependable team, carrying momentum the Bombers haven't matched at home. Sitting at nine and one after a seven‑game winning streak, Montreal has covered eight of ten spreads and continues to produce explosive offense under Davis Alexander, who has kept turnovers almost nonexistent while maintaining high efficiency and multiple touchdown outings. The Alouettes are averaging well over thirty‑five points per game and have hung forty‑six and forty‑eight in two of their last three. Winnipeg, meanwhile, is five and five overall and just two and four at home, a record that erases the usual home‑field edge. Their defense has leaked against stronger attacks, giving up enough scoring that a road favorite with Montreal's firepower can separate rather than get dragged into a tight slog.

Montreal also brings proven road strength after handling Calgary and Ottawa, and their defense continues to generate extra points through turnovers and return production. Winnipeg's offense has been closer to middle‑tier and hasn't consistently answered when opponents start fast. The gap in current form is the real divider: Montreal hasn't lost since mid‑June and hasn't failed to cover since late June, winning by comfortable margins instead of hanging on late. Winnipeg has made plays and picked up recent wins, but those came against weaker competition and haven't shown the same consistency or finishing ability. Over four quarters, Montreal's quarterback play, offensive balance, and defensive discipline position them to create enough separation to clear the six‑and‑a‑half‑point number.

3 Unit Play. Take #967 Chicago +115 over Minnesota (8:10p.m., Friday, August 28 MLB.tv) Chicago is a better all-around team compared to Minnesota, and I see them putting them out of the Wild Card race with by winning this series in the Twin Cities. Chicago leads the season series and neither starting pitcher is that good. The Twins have some injury issues  and the White Sox can see that a postseason bye is in place.

2 Unit Play. Take #607 Over 167.5 in Washington @ Phoenix (10p.m., Thursday, August 27 Prime Video) All 3 trends point towards the over in this game. Phoenix is 70% over in their last 10 games. Washington is 60% over in their last 10 games. The head to head has gone over the posted total in their last 2 meetings.

5 Unit Play. Take #903 Milwaukee (-1.5 RL) over New York (7:10p.m., Thursday, August 27 MLB.tv) The Brewers flexed their muscles last night and I see them taking the rubber game of this series. The Miz is on the mound has his numbers dwarf his counterpart in Sean Manaea. He will leave this game with a big lead, and the Brewers have a strong bullpen that is rested for this game.

4 Unit Play. Take #955 Over 8.5 in Pittsburgh @ San Diego +100 (4:10p.m., Wednesday, August 26 MLB.tv) We will do a lay of averages play on Wednesday and feel one of these games will go over the posted number. San Diego needs to get their offense going as they have scored just 2 runs in 21 innings in this game. Neither pitcher is very good and thus I expect at least one of them to get hit hard in this game.

7 Unit Play. Take #910 San Diego over Pittsburgh (9:40p.m., Tuesday, August 25 MLB.tv) This is game two of this series taking place at Petco Park. It is a strong pitching matchup and basically a pick’em game. Paul Skenes has not been as strong in 2026 with decreased velocity. The Pirates have lost 4 of his last 5 starts and he had a 4.40 E.R.A. during the month of August. Michael King has been strong at home with a 3.21 E.R.A. allowing just 57 hits in just over 75 innings of work. He will be successful against this lineup if he can keep the ball inside the park. San Diego is holding the final wild card spot and they cannot afford to drop the first two games of this series at home with Arizona on their heels.

2 Unit Play. Take #966 Athletics over Minnesota (9:40p.m., Monday, August 24 MLB.tv) The Twins should not be this big of a favorite against anyone on the road. Minnesota lost 3 straight games to the Padres and were not competitive on Sunday. Neither starting pitcher is very good and I expect Sacramento to get into the win column tonight.

6-Unit Play Liga MX Take San Luis/Pachuca OVER 2.5 (-125) (7 p.m. EST, Sunday August 23) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time)

It's still early in the season, but San Luis has been a Bottom 5 defense so far as they have allowed an average of two goals per match. Pachuca has allowed six through four matches for an average of 1.5 goals allowed. And San Luis's defensive woes don't count the Leagues Cup, where they allowed 10 goals in their three Group Stage matches. San Luis was shut out last time at America, but the Mexico City club is one of the best defensive sides in Liga MX and San Luis should have scored at least a goal as they had some chances and produced some good offense despite being kept off the scoresheet. They were also a man down for almost a full half. We expect them to have success here at home vs. Pachuca and they will be happy to be playing at home as this is only their second home match since mid-July. These sides have not combined for fewer than two goals in their last 11 matches, and seven of those saw three or more goals scored. Pachuca allowed three goals last time vs. Puebla and we think this will be another wide open matchup and we think four or more goals is not out of the realm of possibility.

Best of Luck - Doc's Sports

2 Unit Play. Take #928 San Diego -135 over Minnesota (4:10p.m., Sunday, August 23 MLB.tv) The Twins are going for their third straight sweep in a series with two of them being bad. Minnesota blew a big lead last night and I do not believe that they can recover from that. The Padres are in a battle for the final Wild Card spot in the National League and they need to take care of business against the bad teams at home.

7 Unit Play. Take #645 Seattle +8.5 over Dallas (4p.m., Sunday, August 23 NBA TV) The Storm have been competitive during the month of August. Seattle has won just one game in August, but they largest margin of defeat is in their last 4 losses has been 7 points. Dallas is coming off their biggest win of the season, and I can see a letdown for them in this game. The last time these two teams met, it is was a 112-110 Dallas victory in overtime. Seattle has taken come of the top teams to the wire and they will be up for playing this game. Dallas is without Azzi Fudd and that is a major void for them to overcome and will eventually catch up to them. The Wings are just 3-7 in their last 10 games and that includes 3-7 ATS. Expect a single digit game that is competitive and we will grab the points with the underdog.

2 Unit Play. Take #980 Take San Diego -135 over Minnesota (8:40p.m., Saturday, August 22 MLB.tv) The Twins got swept by the Phillies, then swept the Braves. I think there is a good chance they get swept in this series tonight and we will back the Padres for a second straight night. San Diego has the better starting pitcher tonight and they are 38-26 at home. Minnesota is 28-35 on the road.

1 Unit Play. Take #427 Kansas City Chiefs +5.5 over Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7:30p.m., Saturday, August 22 Local) The public is all over the Bucs in this game and the line has moved towards them. I will back the underdog and feel this will be a close game that goes down to the wire. Tampa was outgained by the New York in Week 1 and only averaged 2.8 yards per carry on the ground. Andy Reid is sneaky good in trying to win these games since he does not do joint practices and we will grab the points.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

2 Unit Play. Take #928 San Diego -115 over Minnesota (9:40p.m., Friday, August 21 MLB.tv) We will back the Padres tonight at home as both teams try and stay in the wild card race. Randy Vazquez has better numbers than Connor Prielipp and I do not trust the Twins on the road. Minnesota is 28-34 on the road and San Diego is 37-26 at home.

5 Unit Play. Take #636 Washington +2.5 over Minnesota (7:30p.m., Friday, August 21 ION) Minnesota is sandwiched in between Golden State games tonight. They also have some players out for this game. Washington has been a surprise team this season and I see them winning this game at home.

2 Unit Play. Take #627 Indiana -2.5 over Dallas (8p.m., Thursday, August 20 Prime Video) Dallas has fallen apart during the second half of season. Now they lost Azzi Fudd for the season and this team will be lucky to hang onto the No. 8 seed in the playoffs. The Fever have a chance to move up No. 2 seed and I see them winning this game on Thursday night.

3 Unit Play. Take #966 Milwaukee -125 over Seattle (2:10p.m., Thursday, August 20 MLB.tv) It is just hard to beat the Brewers in a series at home. I expect the Crew to come out on top in this rubber game behind Bob Gasser. He has a better WHIP than George Kirby. Seattle did everything right last time, scoring a bunch of runs early and still barely won despite a 7-0 lead. Milwaukee wins this game on Thursday afternoon.

7 Unit Play. Take #907 Los Angeles (-1.5 RL) -130 over Colorado (8:40p.m., Wednesday, August 19 MLB.tv) The Rockies have a decent pitcher on the mound and thus we are getting value backing the much better team on Wednesday night. This is a get-well series for the Dodgers, as they are going for the sweep having outscored the Rockies 18-11 through two games. Los Angeles has beaten Colorado in 9 of the 12 games this season and Colorado is without their all everything catcher in Hunter Goodman. The Dodgers are battling for a bye and top seed in the National League and need to beat the bad teams in the league. Expect them to win this game behind Roki Sasaki, who should give us a quality start.

6-Unit Play MLS Take St. Louis City -120 over Sporting Kansas City (8 p.m. EST, Wednesday August 19) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if game ends in a DRAW we have a LOSER)

St. Louis has among the best form in MLS right now and they have five wins in their last six, including wins over LA Galaxy and San Jose on the road. Kansas City is much worse than both those sides. St. Louis is now on a 10-match unbeaten streak, and they beat Kansas City at home in July in a 3-2 win that wasn't as close as the score would indicate. Kansas City has the worst home form in MLS this season and their overall goal differential is -30, with the next worst side at -17. They have the worst defense by far in MLS, and no bet against them is a bad one this season, especially when you aren't laying a lot of juice. Kansas City has been even worse offensively in recent matches as they have not scored a goal in three matches while giving up eight, and this just doesn't seem like the kind of team right now that will circle the wagons and perform above expectations against one of the most in-form sides in the league.

Best of Luck - Doc's Sports

3 Unit Play. Take #622 Las Vegas over Atlanta (9p.m., Tuesday, August 18 ESPN) Las Vegas has won 7 straight games against Atlanta and 9 of the last 10 overall. They have beaten the Dream twice this season with both wins coming in Atlanta. The Dream are coming off a tough loss to the Fever on Sunday, a game that went into overtime. I do not see them having much left in the tank for this game and Vegas will pull away and win this game by double digits.

2 Unit Play. Take #975 Atlanta over Minnesota (7:40p.m., Tuesday, August 18 MLB.tv) The Twins jumped on the Braves last night for 4 runs early and that was good enough to win. I think Atlanta will even up this series at one game apiece with a chance to win the series on Wednesday. Zebby Matthews has been hit hard of late giving up 13 combined runs in this last 3 starts and I see Atlanta getting to him early in this game.

6 Unit Play. Take #974 Houston -115 over Seattle (7:20p.m., Sunday, August 16 NBC) The Mariners have been in freefall losing 7 of their last 9 games. They have had success against Houston this season and thus we get a low number backing the home team on Sunday Night Baseball. Seattle is 25-37 on the road and they have to face Hunter Brown tonight. He is looking for his first win in the month of August and he is usually success if he keeps the ball inside the fence. Bryan Woo has not been the same pitcher this season and the Mariners have lost 3 of his last 4 starts. He allowed five earned runs in two of his last 4 starts and Seattle has just one win during that span. Houston has the rested bullpen and they will win this rubber game on Sunday.

4 Unit Play. Take #918 Tampa Bay -140 over Baltimore (6:10p.m., Saturday, August 15 MLB.tv) Just do not see the first-place Rays losing two straight games to the Orioles. Baltimore unloaded talent at the deadline and Tampa knows the importance of earning the No. 1 seed in the American League.

2 Unit Play. Take #121 Over 38.5 in Carolina Panthers @ Buffalo Bills (1p.m., Saturday, August 15 Local) This is preseason and teams can change their plans, but the early indications are that both teams will play their starters on offense in this game. It is the opening of the Buffalo Bills Highmark Stadium, and you can bet they want to put on a show with their starters. Carolina gave up 33 points to a rookie quarterback last week and I see them getting torched in this game as well. Dating back to 2025, Carolina has lost 4 straight exhibition games and giving up 102 combined points in those games. Carolina started off slow last year, dropping their first two games and they want to see better offensive earlier in the season. Buffalo has a new offensive minded head coach, and I see both teams reaching the 20 in points in this game.

7 Unit Play. Take #660 Seattle over Portland (10p.m., Friday, August 14 ION) The Storm are not as bad as their record would indicate and playing an expansion team at home should allow them to win two straight games. Portland has not played a road game since July 28th, and they went 2-3 on their five game homestand. The Fire give up a ton of points and that will bite them in this game. Seattle has yet to beat Portland this season, but all 3 games were close, and the Fire are not good enough to beat them 4 straight times. Seattle breaks through and wins this game by double digits. Seattle was favored at Portland on 8/8 and that tells me the books believe they are the more talented team.

2 Unit Play. Take #951 St. Louis (+1.5 RL) over Chicago (2:20p.m., Friday, August 14 Apple TV+) We will side with the run line in this game as the total tells me the wind will benefit the pitchers in this game. This is a rivalry and the Cardinals would love to kill the Cubs chances of winning the NL Central. I never believe Clay Holmes can through a dominating game on the mound.
