MLB | Red Sox vs Blue Jays
Play on: Red Sox -157 at GTBets

My free play is on the Bos Red Sox at 7:05. Boston rallied from three runs down in the 9th inning last Sunday night to beat the Yankees 5-4 in 10 innings. After that stirring four-game sweep of the rival Yankees at home, the Red Sox have produced 20 runs on 21 hits and 13 walks while claiming the first two games in Toronto by scores of 10-7 and 10-5. Boston now has a chance to win its seventh straight game plus pick up its second straight sweep and 12th overall in 2018, when the Red Sox wrap up a three-game series at the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. The Red Sox own MLB's best record at 81-34 and lead the majors with 620 runs scored. They are 12-3 against the Blue Jays and 39-14 against the AL East. Toronto has dropped 11 games below .500 ( 51-62) to match its season worst, also reached on August 1. The Blue Jays take the field tonight having lost five straight home games (just 27-30 at Rogers Centre in 2018), including a three-game sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Twins on July 23-25.
Rick Porcello (14-4, 3.84 ERA) limited the Yankees to one hit - a solo home run - while striking out nine in his dominant win at home last Friday night. Porcello was lit up by Toronto (eight runs in two innings) at Fenway Park back on July 13 but is 3-0 with a 2.18 ERA in three starts since. However despite Porcello's strong bounce-back season in 2018, that July 13 outing reminds us of his career-long struggles vs the Blue Jays, against whom he has a 5.26 ERA in 24 games (23 starts).
Toronto lefty Ryan Borucki (1-2, 2.30) ERA) takes the mound having not allowed an earned run in two of his last three starts, including an eight-inning gem at Seattle on Friday. He has an ERA of 0.90 over that three-start stretch, during which he has walked just one batter in 20 innings. The surge began after Borucki gave up seven runs (four earned) in three innings opposite Porcello in that July 13th contest (Blue Jays won that game, 13-7).
Sure, Porcello has a poor history vs Toronto but he's returned to his 2016 form (22-4, 3.15 ERA) here in 2018. Even more important is that this Boston team has won 10 of its last 11, improving to 81-34. The team's .704 winning percentage puts this 2018 edition on pace to win 114 games, far surpassing the franchise-high 105 wins set by the 1912 Red Sox. Boston owns five previous road sweeps, as well as MLB's second-best road record this season (39-19). Boston's domination of Toronto (12-3 ) and of the AL East (39-14) here in 2018 makes a sixth road sweep for Boston the likely scenario. Play the Red Sox.
Good luck...Larry

NFLX | Colts vs Seahawks
Play on: Seahawks -2 -101 at betonline

Every year, I get you paid in NFL exhibition play. This year, I do it again. This Thursday, I not only get you paid, I get you paid BIG TIME, as I have my NFLX CASH MONEY, HIGH ROLLER, and TOUCHDOWN PLAYS. Get 'em all and get paid BIG TIME.
Thursday's FREE NFLX WINNER: Seattle Seahawks.
Game 724.
7:00 pm pst.
Seattle does not have the same feared defense we are used to seeing. But they do have a 7-1 SU and ATS record the L2 pre-seasons. They need to start the campaign with a win to boost their confidence and get their fan base excited. Especially for e team picked to finished 3rd in the NFC West, which is very unfamiliar territory for the team and their loyal fans. Indy does not have too much besides a healthy Andrew Luck, who will not be jeopardized here.
Take the Seahawks. Thank you.

NFLX | Browns vs Giants
Play on: Giants +1 -105 at 5Dimes

Thursday NFLX Free play. My selection is on New York plus the points over Cleveland at 7 pm et on Thursday.
The Browns have been gaining support as the week has gone on and are now installed as a short favorite in their preseason opener against the Giants in New Jersey. I don't believe the line shift is warranted at all and will back the G-Men at a bargain basement price.
New York has a new head coach in Pat Shurmur and new offense and defensive schemes. There will undoubtedly be some growing pains but can any different be said of the Browns, who also feel they are ushering in a new era with a host of new players.
First overall pick Baker Mayfield is expected to see extensive action for Cleveland in this one. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up for debate. His charisma, not to mention rave reviews from his performance at training camp has loaded up the bandwagon ahead of this matchup. I'm just not convinced we'll see Mayfield outplay Giants backup QB Davis Webb, who has also by all accounts enjoyed a tremendous camp so far.
The Browns excelled in the preseason a year ago but we saw what that got them as they endured a winless regular season. Note that Hue Jackson-led teams are just 4-8 ATS in the preseason. Take New York (8*).

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, Jesse Schule

MLB | Red Sox vs Blue Jays
Play on: Blue Jays +155 at MyBookie

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Toronto Blue Jays +155
I’ll take a shot on the Toronto Blue Jays as big home underdogs to the Boston Red Sox tonight. Ryan Borucki is pithing very well this season and deserves more respect than he’s getting here. Borucki is 1-2 with a 2.30 ERA in seven starts this season, 0-1 with a 1.35 ERA in three home starts, and 1-1 with a 0.90 ERA in his last three starts. Rick Porcello is 10-9 with a 5.27 ERA in 23 previous starts against the Blue Jays. He gave up 8 earned runs and 11 base runners in 2 innings of a 7-13 loss to the Blue Jays in his last start against them on July 13th. Toronto is more than capable of pulling the upset tonight. Give me the Blue Jays.

MLB | LAD vs COL
Play on: OVER 10½ -104

10* FREE MLB PICK (Over 10.5)
I'll gladly take my chances here with the OVER 10.5. This might seem like a high total, but you have to handicap the totals differently at Colorado. The ball flies out of Coors Field this time of year and we have two starters coming into this game that have been struggling of late. Ross Stripling is 8-3 with a 3.04 ERA and 1.128 WHIP for the season, but owns a 3.55 ERA on the road and a 5.52 ERA and 1.500 WHIP over his last 3 starts. His last 2 outings have been especially bad. He allowed 5 runs on 7 hits in 4 2/3 innings at Philadelphia and 4 runs on 7 hits in 4 innings at Atlanta. Tyler Anders will take the mound for Colorado and he's got a 6.23 ERA over his last 3 starts, giving up 11 runs on 10 hits in his last 2 starts (10 innings). It's also worth noting that Stripling owns a m ere 4.50 ERA in 3 career starts against the Rockies and Anderson has a 4.09 ERA in 9 starts vs LA. Take the OVER!

MLB | Pirates vs Giants
Play on: Giants -134 at 5Dimes

#MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The San Francisco Giants look like a solid home favorite here when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates for the opener of a four-game series.
Ivan Nova (6-6, 4.49 ERA) will take the ball for Pittsburgh. The right-hander was tagged with four runs on eight hits and four walks in just four innings against St. Louis his last time out. Nova owns a 5.40 ERA on the road (compared to a 3.55 ERA at home) and gave up four runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Giants back in May.
Andrew Suarez (4-7, 4.60 ERA) will take the ball for San Francisco. He's coming off his worst start of the season when he gave up eight runs in five innings of a 9-3 loss at Arizona, but note that the left-hander has posted a solid 3.64 ERA in nine home starts on the season.
Giants are 6-2 in Suarez's last 8 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Pirates are 6-23 in their last 29 road games vs. a left-handed starter.
Free pick: San Francisco Giants.
