Play: Cincinnati Reds -1.5 (-120) Undecided (LHP), L Castillo (RHP) Must Start
Take Cincinnati (#904) on the Run Line
The Marlins swept Chicago at home last weekend, while the Cubs were in the midst of a truly ugly skid. With the exception of that lone series against a slumping bottom feeder, Miami is 1-8 in their last nine games; 4-13 in their last 17. They’ve been awful on the road all year: 21-40 in 61 games away from Miami. Don Mattingly’s squad used up their bullpen in yesterday’s wild loss to Atlanta; bad news with another likely ‘bullpen’ game on tap for today. Look for a comfortable win for Cincinnati and Luis Castillo this evening in a prime bounceback spot for the home team. Take the Reds -1.5 Runs

401 New England Patriots at 402 Philadelphia Eagles
Week 2 of the 2021 NFL preseason kicks off Thursday night with a pair of teams looking to improve their standing a year ago. The New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles are the Thursday Night Football feature attraction. The contest is scheduled to kick at 7:30 pm ET at Lincoln Finacial Field, with the visiting Patriots owning the role of favorite of minus 1.5 points to the home team Eagles.

Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni is treating the preseason like a business. New England head coach Bill Belichick is only interested in his players becoming comfortable in the offensive and defensive changes. Belichick told the press after the Week 1 victory over the Washington Football Team, “Fundamentally, I thought we made some progress."

There is no real quarterback battle in New England. Belichick already knows who he will start in Week 1, and that job is most likely to go to veteran quarterback Cam Newton. The Eagles projected starter, Jalen Hurts, isn't expected to see an extended role in his snaps for this Week 2 meet resulting in a Free Pick on the Patriots to win and cover this AFC vs. NFC Thursday night event.

Sport/League: WNBA (See all free WNBA picks)
Date/Time: August 19, 2021 10PM EDT
Play: Los Angeles Sparks -4.0 (-110)
These teams squared off on Tuesday as the Sparks pulled out a tight win after newly hired Mavs assistant Kristi Toliver hit a fadeway at the buzzer to force OT as L.A. went on to win 85-80. The Sparks have won 17 straight at Staples Center and Derek Fisher hopes to turn up the intensity and sweep this two-game set with a Dream squad that has lost six straight. Considering L.A. will play eight of its final 11 on the road, it must take advantage of opportunities like these to make up ground in the playoff race. Nneka Ogwumike is back to aid the cause and L.A. should pull out another win after narrowly avoid defeat on Tuesday. Ride the Sparks laying the four points.
