4-Unit Play. #654. Take Indiana -2 over Chicago (Saturday @ 7:05pm est).
With Chicago coming off a big win without Della Donne in their last game, this will be a bit of a let down without their star going on the road against Indiana. Plus, Indiana has revenge from a previous loss to Chicago if you remember 71-61 at home back on June 22nd. Indiana has consistently played well coming off a loss and if you take a look you will see they have covered 7 of their last 10 games and each time they have lost, they have come back to cover. For example, losing 62-69 against Minnesota as 4 point dogs at home only to go to New York the next game and win 74-53 in a rout easily covering the 2.5 dog price. Plus, losing to New York recently 72-77 as 6.5 point favorites only to beat Tulsa on the road as 3.5 dogs winning 71-60. So, now they have revenge against a Chicago team plus they come off a loss losing 64-70 to Connecticut on the road as they return home. Besides, Connecticut had revenge against Indiana that game so you can't really hold that against them. Regardless if Catchings plays or not (though she is listed as probable), I still like Indiana here given how well they have played of late and note the Sky are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against Indiana. So, in summary with Chicago coming off a big win and a let down on the road without Della Donne, with Indiana with revenge and bouncing back themselves, I like them as a small home favorite today.
Indian Cowboy's Picks For Major League Baseball
4-Unit Play. #901. Take Under 9 Runs Atlanta vs. Philadelphia (Saturday @ 4:05pm est).
I have always liked the big underdog at home that the public is not a fan of such as Philadelphia here facing Beachy and Atlanta. In Baseball, you have times when the underdog actually does not go over as i in other sports but rather, the underdog pitcher does well and the game goes under the posted total. It works different in Football as compared to Baseball, or compared to other sports in general and Baseball. If you take a look at Beachy's last game he was rocked by Colorado giving up 7 runs in essentially 4 innings of work and you would have to think that he bounces-back after returning from injury. Besides, the Braves were able to give him support and they ended up winning 9-8 to their credit. He faces Lannan today who to his credit has given up just 8 runs over his last 4 starts which spans a total of 27 innings. Lannan also has a 9-5 record lifetime against the Bravos for a 3.20 era which is as sound as you're going to get against the Braves not to mention 63 strikeouts to boot. Though Beachy has not beat the Phillies in his lifetime for a posted win, he does have a 3.68era to his credit. I wouldn't be surprised to see this game likely go under the posted total as Beachy steps up with a quality start after a poor outing prior to his last effort and you see Lannan step up to face Atlanta in general a division rival.
Indian Cowboy's Picks For Canadian Football
6-Unit Play. #424. Take British Columbia -11 over Winnipeg (Monday @ 7:05pm est).
British Columbia has a proud tradition of winning. So, to see them get hammered by a score of 12-38, one of their worst losses in recent franchise history, is shocking to say the least. I like British Columbia to bounce-back after that terrible loss at the hands of Toronto on the road, as prior to that lost, they had covered 3 straight contests, winning 31-21 and 17-3 on a home and home against Edmonton (which is really tough to do, to not only win but to cover in home and homes). Winnipeg has heart but I think they just run into a bad spot against an angry British Columbia team here on Monday Night. Note, that Winnipeg does have a decent offense but they have struggled of late in winning and covering contests. After all, they lost to Calgary 24-37 losing as 5.5 underdogs, losing to Toronto 19-35 as 3.5 point underdogs, and losing to Hamilton 20-25 as 5.5 underdogs (though they did cover that contest). I like British Columbia to get out their anger and frustration here today against a Winnipeg team that might just be running into a difficult storm today. The BC Lions are 5-0 ATS coming off a straight up loss and 4-0 to their credit when facing a team with a straight up losing record.
Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers
Take: Detroit Tigers -1½-115
in 8h
*5 Star MLB TOP Play Smasher* The Chicago White Sox seem to have given up on the season. The White Sox are 18-42 in their last 60 games overall. John Danks starts for the White Sox in this one, and he has been terrible on the road this year. On the other side, Max Scherzer will start for the Tigers. Scherzer is 15-1 on the season, and he has been one of the best pitchers in baseball. Scherzer has always dominated the White Sox. He has a 2.4 ERA in his career against the White Sox. Danks have been awful against the Tigers as evidenced by his 6.96 ERA at Comerica Park. The Tigers are 7-0 in their last 7 games against a left handed starter. The White Sox are 0-5 in Danks' last 5 starts at Detroit. The Tigers are 4-0 in Scherzer's last 4 starts against the White Sox. The White Sox are 1-6 in Danks' last 7 road starts. Take the Tigers -1.5 big.

Cleveland Indians vs Miami Marlins
Take: Miami Marlins +118
in 8h
*3 Star MLB 100% Angle Moneyline Cash* The Miami Marlins snapped the Indians 8 game winning streak last night thanks to a tremendous performance by Jose Fernandez. Fernandez is their best young pitcher, but their second best pitcher is Jacob Turner, and he will start in this game. Turner was rushed to the majors by Detroit and struggled for his first couple seasons. Last year, he started looking good, and this year he has been tremendous. Zach McCallister starts for the Indians, and he is a mediocre starter. The Marlins have been playing surprisingly well of late especially at home. The Indians are just 23-30 on the road this year. The Indians are 0-7 in McCallister's last 7 road games against a team with a losing record. The Marlins are 6-0 in Turner's last 6 starts as a home underdog. Take the Marlins.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Boston Red Sox
Take: Arizona Diamondbacks +154
in 8h
*3 Start MLB Dog of the Day* The Arizona Diamondbacks aren't as good of a team as the Red Sox, but this price is just ridiculous. Patrick Corbin has been one of baseball's best pitchers this season, and the Diamondbacks are 21-5 in his last 26 starts. It's amazing to see this good of a pitcher getting this huge of price. Jake Peavy will make his debut for the Red Sox in this one. Peavy hasn't been particularly good this year, and I'm not sure he'll be the great pick up that many believe he will be. The Red Sox have a very good lineup, but they haven't hit well against left handers this season. Boston is batting just .249 against left handers this year. The Diamondbacks offense is better against righties and I expect them to score some runs against Peavy. Grab the big underdog here. Take Arizona.
