MLB NL RUNLINE GAME OF THE YEAR - 10* MAJOR WAGER

I expect the Cardinals to show up big time here following a pair of losses to Pittsburgh. On the season, the Cards are 15-3 straight up and 13-4 against the runline as favorites off a loss as a favorite. 

Pittsburgh righty JT Brubaker has a record of 0-6 with an ERA of 6.19 in six starts against the Cardinals in his career. Jack Flaherty has a record of 8-1 with an ERA of 2.50 in 12 starts against the Pirates in his career.

MIKE'S IOWA STATE/IOWA NCAAF BOOKIE BU$TER

Iowa opened the season with an unimpressive 7-3 win as a 10.5-point favorite at South Dakota State. The Hawkeyes had only 10 first downs and 166 yards of total offense. Iowa starting quarterback Spencer Petras completed only 11 of 25 passes for 109 yards and their points came from a field goal and two safeties.

Iowa State had an easier opener as they routed Southeast Missouri State 42-10 as a 33.5-point favorite.

Iowa is a lot better than what it showed last week, but it did not look good at all and Iowa State has the confidence and momentum. 

8* PLAY ON IOWA STATE. 

MIKE'S APP STATE/TEXAS A&M NCAAF TOTAL BOOKIE BLA$TER

Appalachian State is coming off a wild 63-61 loss to UNC. The two teams combined for 62 points in the fourth quarter, of which App State contributed 40.

Now they'll face a tougher defense in a Texas A&M team that held Sam Houston State to zero points and fewer than 200 yards in its season opener.

Under is 7-0 in Aggies last 7 games in September. Under is 4-1 in Aggies last 5 games after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game. Under is 25-7-1 in Mountaineers last 33 games after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game.

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S TGIF MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The White Sox put a 14-2 beating on Oakland on Thursday to move to 7-2 in their last nine games. The A's on the other hand have lost seven of their last eight and they are 5-18 as a home underdog of +125 to +175 on the season.

Oakland righty James Kaprielian is 0-2 with an ERA of 8.10 and an ugly 2.10 WHIP over his last three starts. 

8* PLAY ON CHICAGO WHITE SOX. 

MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER

The Cardinals looked pretty stupid in an 11-6 loss to Pittsburgh yesterday afternoon, but I'm happy to back them bounce back here in Game 2 of the series. On the season, the Cards are 15-2 straight up and 13-3 against the runline as favorites off a loss as a favorite. Additionally, Cards starter Miles Mikolas owns the Pirates. 

8* PLAY ON ST. LOUIS CARDINALS -1.5. 

MIKE'S BILLS/RAMS T.N.F. BOOKIE BREAKER

I like the Bills against the Rams in the first NFL game of the season as I would not be surprised to see the Rams suffer from the infamous "Super Bowl Hangover". 

The Bills have added Von Miller (from the Rams!) to a defense that was already elite and QB Josh Allen has plenty of weapons at his disposal. 

The Rams have not only lost Von Miller from their Super Bowl-winning team but also leading rusher Sony Michel and star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. 

8* PLAY ON BUFFALO BILLS. 

MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

Phillies righty Kyle Gibson is 1-3 with a 4.80 ERA in five career starts against the Marlins.

Miami righty-hander Sandy Alcantara is 6-6 with a 3.10 ERA in 14 career starts against the Phillies.

The Marlins are 16-11 in Alcantara's 27 starts this season, 6-7 SU, and 8-3 against the runline as underdogs with Alcantara as the starter. 

The Phillies are only 16-16 as a home favorite of -125 to -175. 

8* PLAY ON MIAMI MARLINS. 

MIKE'S EARLY TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY

Gonna roll with the red hot Cards early.

Nats starter Josiah Gray gave up six runs on six hits and four walks in five innings during a 7-3 loss to the Mets in his last start. Gray is 1-2 with an ERA of 5.62 and a WHIP of 1.63 in his last three starts.

Cards righty Adam Wainwright is a solid 6-3 with an ERA of 2.41 and a 10-5 team record in 15 home starts. Wainwright is 10-5 with a 3.09 ERA in 19 career outings against the Nationals.

10* PLAY ON ST. LOUIS CARDINALS -1.5. 

MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER

The Astros are 11-3 SU and 8-6 against the runline as home favorites revenging a loss as home favorites. Texas left-hander Cole Ragans has made only four starts in 2022. he has an ERA of 6.08 and a WHIP of 1.58 in his last three starts. Houston righty Christian Javier is 2-0 with an ERA of 2.12 and a WHIP of 0.82 in his last three starts. 

8* PLAY ON HOUSTON ASTROS -1.5. 

MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Rays are going for the sweep after winning the first two games of the series 4-3 and 8-4. They've won seven of their last eight and left-hander Jeffrey Springs has an ERA of 2.16 and a 6-2 team record in eight home starts. 

Boston righty Nick Pivetta has been decent on the road (3.98 ERA, 13 starts), but he has a 5.27 ERA over his last three starts and he has given up 12 runs on 16 hits over 5 1/3 innings in two meetings with the Rays in 2022. 

8* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a very reasonable price on a Brewers team that is still in the hunt for a wild card while the Rockies are just playing out the season. 

Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland has a 6.10 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP home at Coors Field and he is 0-3 with a 4.23 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP in his last three starts. 

Milwaukee has averaged seven runs per nine innings against left-handers over their last 10 games. The Rockies have averaged 2.91 runs per nine innings over their last 10 games. 

10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BREWERS. 

MLB RUNLINE GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER

The Braves are 11-3 as a road favorite of -175 or more. Right-hander Kyle Wright is 3-0 with an ERA of 0.90 and a WHIP of 0.85 in his last three starts. 

Oakland left-hander Cole Irvin has posted an ERA of 1.94 in 13 home starts on the season, but the team record is still only 6-7 in those games. Irvin has an ERA of 8.62 in six career outings (one start) against Atlanta.

10* PLAY ON ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5. 

MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER

On the season, the Rockies are 13-11 straight up as a home underdog of +125 to +175 and they are 10-4 against the runline as home underdogs in Game 1 of a series. The Rockies have struggled to put runs on the board lately, but the same is true for the Brewers who are 4-9 against the runline as road favorites following the All-Star break. 

Rockies right-hander Ryan Feltner is 2-6 with a 6.08 ERA on the season, but he has posted an ERA of 3.86 over his last three starts.

8* PLAY ON COLORADO ROCKIES +1.5. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY

Boston is heading to Tampa Bay on a five-game winning streak, but the Rays had also won five on the bounce prior to a 2-1 loss to the Yankees on Sunday. 

Red Sox righty Michael Wacha has an ERA of 5.29 in three starts versus the Rays since the start of the 2020 season. Rays righty Luis Patino was 1-0 with an ERA of 3.86 in two starts against the Red Sox last season. 

Rays are 12-2 in their last 14 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. 

NCAAF TOTAL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER

Florida State opened the season with a 47-7 rout of Duquesne while this will be LSU's first game of the season and their first with Brian Kelly as head coach. FSU did most of their damage against Duquesne on the ground, but QB Jordan Travis had a solid game going 11-for-15 with 207 yards. LSU's secondary was questionable last season and they're replacing several starters in the backfield. 

As for LSU's offense, Brian Kelly is coming in with a new system, but he has a lot of talent and weapons to work with and I think they'll figure it out early. 

10* PLAY ON OVER. 

MLB RUNLINE GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER

The Mets are 18-2 SU and 15-5 against the runline as favorites coming off a loss as a favorite. They'll make the Nats pay for having the audacity to win as a +330 underdog here at Citi Field on Saturday. Nats righty Erick Fedde has an ERA of 8.02 and a 2.03 WHIP over his last three starts. 

10* PLAY ON NEW YORK METS -1.5. 

MIKE'S SKY/SUNS WNBA TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

A rare spot bet from the WNBA. Both of the first two games of the series went under, with closing totals of 167 and 164.5. With the series tied at 1-1, all signs point towards this being another low-scoring affair. 

Under is 7-2 in Sky last 9 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Under is 15-6 in Sun last 21 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S FAU/OHIO NCAAF BOOKIE BLA$TER

Florida Atlantic is already 1-0 on the season after destroying Charlotte 43-13 as a 6.5-point favorite in Week 0. 

I think they're in for a much tougher game here though against an Ohio team that, while rebuilding offensively, is returning nine starters on the defensive side of the ball. They have also added two Big Ten transfers on the defensive line and brought in defensive coordinator Spence Nowinsky from Miami (OH).

Sure, FAU looked superb in Week 0, but that also makes them overvalued for this game. 

8* PLAY ON OHIO. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY

The Giants have dropped opened this series with a 13-1 triumph on Friday. They had lost seven on the bounce before that win and right-hander Jake Junis has a 5.00 ERA over his last three starts. Philadelphia right-hander Noah Syndergaard is having a disappointing year, but he's still a very talented pitcher with a high ceiling. 

10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES. 

MIKE'S TROY/OLE MISS NCAAF BOKKIE BLA$TER

As of the publication of this pick, Ole Miss has yet to name the starting QB to replace Matt Corral who has moved on to the NFL but no matter who starts under center, it will be a step down from Corral. Troy's defense was great last year and it is returning a lot of experience on the offensive side of the ball. While being the better team, three touchdowns are too much for Ole Miss to cover. 

8* PLAY ON TROY. 

MIKE'S RUTGERS/BOSTON COLLEGE NCAAF BOOKIE BU$tER

The Eagles have a new offensive coordinator in John McNulty and a new offensive line coach in Dave DeGuglielmo, but the offense should still click early with both their starting QB and RB returning. Rutgers has six starters back from each side of the ball, but from a weak team, and they have yet to name a starting quarterback. 

8* PLAY ON BOSTON COLLEGE. 

TOP-RATED 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

Minnesota right-hander Sonny Gray has posted an ERA of 1.59 and a 0.88 WHIP over his last three starts. White Sox righty Davis Marting has made only five starts, through which he is 1-4 with a 5.04 ERA. The Twins had won five on the bounce prior to taking a 6-5 loss to Boston in their last game. White Sox are 4-10 in their last 14 overall.

10* PLAY ON MINNESOTA TWINS. 

MIKE'S NCAAF BOOKIE BOMBER

Illinois already has a game under its belt a 38-6 triumph over Wyoming. They held the Cowboys to just over 200 yards of total offense and Wyoming only threw for 30 yards. Here they'll face an Indiana team that is unlikely to put up big yards and points on the regular.

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S WVU/PITT NCAAF BOOKIE BU$TER

Pittsburgh is returning eight offensive starters, but it lost QB Kenny Pickett to the NFL and wide receiver Jordan Addison to USC. The Mountaineers have lost some players on the defensive side of the ball but are still returning a strong unit. As for the Panthers defense, they are returning seven starters from a unit that led the ACC in rush defense and No. 2 nationally in sacks.

10* EPL SOCCER GAME OF THE WEEK - MAN U @ LEICESTER

Man Utd opened the season with a pair of losses, but they've bounced back with a pair of wins. Leicester are still winless in EPL action this season (D2, L3). Leicester have conceded at least two goals every game so far in the Premier League this season while Man U have looked strong defensively in recent outings. This is a good price on Man U. 

10* PLAY ON MANCHESTER UNITED. 

MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Twins are riding a five-game winning streak and I expect them to complete the five-game sweep here against Boston. Twins righty Joe Ryan is 6-3 with a 2.69 ERA in 12 home starts on the season. The team record is 8-4 in those games. Boston righty Michael Wacha ia a quality pitcher and he has been hot, but I don't see him getting much run support. 

8* PLAY ON MINNESOTA TWINS. 

MIKE'S WEDNESDAY NIGHT MLB RUNLINE RIPPER

This looks like a great spot to back the Cardinals to bounce back from a 5-1 loss to Cincinnati. On the season, the Cards are 13-2 SU and 14-4 against the runline as favorites off a loss as a favorite. Reds left-hander Mike Minor is 0-7 with a 6.37 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP in eight home starts.

The Padres have won three of theor last four and righty Joe Musgrove has held the Giants to one run on seven hits in two starts covering 14 innings this year.

Since the All-Star break, the Dodgers are 14-3 as road favorites. 

8* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. 

MIKE'S LATE-NIGHT PADRES/GIANTS MLB BOOKIE BREAKER

Giants left-hander Carlos Rodon is 4-0 with an ERA of 1.44 over his last five starts, but San Francisco as a team is cold.

The Giants have dropped eight of their last 10 and four in a row. They have scored a total of only six runs during that four-game stretch and here they'll face Mike Clevinger who has faced the Giants twice in his career, going 1-0 with no runs allowed through 13 frames. 

8* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO PADRES. 

MIKE'S YANKEES/ANGELS MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Yankees are struggling with consistency at the plate. They have scored only six runs over their last three games and more than four runs in only one of their last 10. Under is 7-1-1 in Yankees' last 9 road games. For this game, the Angels will send left-hander Jose Suarez to the mound. Under is 4-0-2 in Yankees' last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter.

As for the Yankees' starting pitcher, Frankie Montas has struggled since coming over from Oakland but in 15 appearances (12 starts) against the Angels, Montas is 4-2 with a 2.30 ERA.

The Marlins have major issues at the plate. They have averaged only 2.60 runs per game over their last 10 while the Dodgers have averaged 6.30 runs per game over their last 10. 

The Marlins are 3-10 SU and 4-9 against the runline as home underdogs since the All-Star break. 

10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5. 

MIKE'S LIONS/STEELERS NFLX TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Steelers are 2-0 in the preseason and I think they'll close it out with yet another win on Sunday. The Lions are expected to play their starters for at least one half, but starting QB Jared Goff will not take the field, and there is a big drop-off behind him.

The Steelers are expected to play their starters as well, including quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, and they also have Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett.

While the result doesn't matter, everyone will be looking to impress the coaching staff and Steelers' depth should get them the W. 

10* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH STEELERS. 

MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE

I expect to see a hungry White Sox team here as they look to avoid the reverse sweep. White Sox righty Dylan Cease is 5-3 with an ERA of 2.70, a 1.10 WHIP, and a 9-4 team record in 13 home starts on the season. This will be his first career start against Arizona. Diamondbacks righty Zach Davies faced the White Sox one last year and was charged with seven runs over just two innings of a 9-3 loss. 

8* PLAY ON CHICAGO WHITE SOX. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a great spot to back the Blue jays to snap back from a pair of losses and avoid getting swept. They were shut out in Saturday's 2-0 defeat, but for the season, the Jays are 5-0 coming off a shut out loss. Toronto righty Ross Stripling is 1-0 with an ERA of 1.62, a 0.78 WHIP and a 3-0 team record in his last three starts.

10* PLAY ON TORONTO BLUE JAYS -1.5.  

MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER

The red hot Phillies are riding a six-game winning streak, and they won five of those games by two runs or more. Pittsburgh is coming into this game as losers of seven in a row and lost by fewer than two runs only once. The Phillies are 3-0 in Noah Syndergaard's last three starts. 

8* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -1.5. 

NFLX TOTAL GAME OF THE YEAR - 10* BIG BET ALERT

Both teams are expected to give their starters a good amount of reps which should lead to plenty of points on the board. 

Cleveland needs to give Jacoby Brissett a chance to familiarize himself with the offense as he'll be the starting QB for the first 11 games while Deshaun Watson is suspended. Brissett did not play last week, so it makes sense that he'll get a good run here. 

The Bears have indicated that they'll play their starters for the full first half.

MIKE'S NORTHWESTERN/NEBRASKA WEEK 0 NCAAF BOOKIE BU$TER

Nebraska and Northwestern will clash in Ireland for this Week 0 Big 10 matchup.

Last season, the Cornhuskers were 3-9 but they lost nine games by single digits. They've made a lot of changes, and QB Adrian Martinez has been replaced by Texas transfer Casey Thompson. 

Northwestern was also 3-9 last season, but not quite as competitive as Nebraska. The offense averaged only 16.6 points a game and the Cornhuskers routed the Wildcats 56-7 in Lincoln. 

8* PLAY ON NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS. 

MIKE'S SUPER EARLY AUSTIN PEAY/WESTERN KENTUKCY BOOKIE BLA$TER

This looks like way too many points to give to anyone in the first game of the season considering all the uncertainty usually coming into a season premiere.

The Governors were second in the FCS with 19 interceptions last year, and if they can force turnovers that'll add to the variance which makes the points all that more valuable.

The Governors know they have virtually no shot at winning this game, but they are decent on the defensive side of the ball and will be battling to keep the score down.

The White Sox are coming off a disappointing series in Baltimore, but Arizona is a team they should be able to beat up on.

Diamondbacks left-hander Tommy Henry has a 6.10 ERA and a 1.45 ERA in two road starts. Small sample, but certainly not promising numbers. The White Sox are averaging 4.81 runs per game against left-handers, compared to 4.10 rpg against right-handers. 

White Sox right-hander Johnny Cueto is 6-5 with a 2.45 ERA in 17 starts on the season and he has a 1.19 ERA over his last three starts. The White Sox are 9-3 as home favorites since the All-Star break.

NFLX GAME OF THE WEEK  - MIKE'S 10* NINERS/VIKES MAJOR WAGER

The Niners opened their preseason with a 28-21 win over the Packers while Minnesota lost its preseason opener 26-20 to the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday. Kirk Cousin was sidelined after testing positive for COVID-19, but the Vikes starting QB and other starters should get more reps today, especially in front of the home fans.

The Niners have a strong starting defense, but they lack depth and I can see the Vikings pile up the points here.

EPL SOCCER GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER MAX BET

This looks like a great spot to fade Nottingham coming off a 1-0 triumph over West Ham while Everton will be desperate to get in the win column after opening the season with a couple of losses. They've lost to Chelsea and Aston Villa and is one of only three teams to collect a point in the EPL this season, but Forest is a team Everton should be able to beat and under pressure Everton manager Frank Lampard needs to get the best out of his players.

The Seahawks have announced that Geno Smith will get the start under center against the Bears. He'll be keen to impress and take the starting QB job from Drew Lock who will miss the game after testing positive for Covid-19.

Seattle HC Pete Carroll always coaches to win and has a 36-21 record against the spread in the preseason, a top-five record among NFL coaches. I'll think he'll go for it here after losing their preseason opener at Pittsburgh 32-25.

Bears' offensive starters will play just 6-10 snaps according to Chicago HC Matt Eberflus.

MLB GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* TOTAL

Both the Yankees and the Blue Jays have plenty of firepower and big bats in their team, but neither team has been hitting the ball all that well of late. Toronto has averaged 2.6 runs per game over its last seven games while the Yankees have averaged a miserable 1.3 runs per game over the same stretch. Blue Jays righty Jose Berrios is not having a good year, but the talent is there. I expect him to step up in a big way.

The Phillies opened the week with a 4-3 win. They have scored only six runs over their last five games while getting shut out three times, but this looks like a good spot to get their bats going against inexperienced Reds right-hander T.J. Zeuch who will be making his first career start at Great American Ball Park. Zeuch gave up six runs on six hits and two walks in a 10-2 loss to the Mets on Aug 10 in his first start of the season.

EPL GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S TOP-RATED MAJOR WAGER

West Ham opened the season with a 2-0 loss to Man City. They could not have asked for a tougher opponent for their season opener, and there's a big step in competition here against newly promoted Nottingham Forest who lost 2-0 at Newcastle in their first game of the season.

The Hammers are dealing with injuries, but they should have enough squad depth to take care of business against this Nottingham side.

The Panthers should have a strong preseason with veteran quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold both getting a lot of reps to determine who should be the starter for the season-opener.

Bumgarner was 0-1 with an ERA of 4.09 in two starts against the Pirates in 2021. 

The Pirates are 10-13 as road underdogs against left-handed starts and I like the price we get on them as a dog in this matchup.

This looks like a great spot to back the Yankees to bounce back from a couple of losses and deny the Cards to sweep the three-game series. On the season, the Yankees are 10-3 coming off back-to-back losses. They took a 1-0 loss on Saturday. The Yankees are 25-13 after scoring three runs or fewer in their last game.
