Word to the wise. Don't just come here and give some BS reason or use AI because either you don't know how to handicap or you're too lazy to write your own reason with some stats and true reasoning.

With the Football season getting into swing, Jpearl and I won't sit idle.

I want us all to have a winning season ahead, we just need to be smart, put in the effort and let the ball bounce the way it will.

Let's create something magical here and build upon it elsewhere in the forum.

It's Time !!!

FREAK

ATL/Phil Under 3.5 1st 5

We have 2 of the best LHP in the game going in this and both are very stingy when it comes to giving up runs Sale has faced the Phillies twice this yr and had given up 1 run in 13 inn and Sanchez has faced the Braves once and gave up 3 unearned runs which he also lost to Sale in that game 3-1 Sale should be able to neutralize the LH power of the Phillies while Sanchez should be able to keep the ATL at bay also so I look for a low scoring game early so we don’t have to worry about either teams bullpen so let’s take the Under 3.5 1st 5

Aussie Rules -

If you can play Player Props on your books, Sam Walsh u27,5 dispoals -110. He will be tagged by the best tagger in the game Mullins.

Geelong v Carlton

Guardians game 2…-143…Tigers will be tougher in game 1 with Montero pitching he’s done well of late…like Guardians much more in game 2 with lefty Griffin pitching…Tigers struggled all year vs left handers..Tigers starting rookie Sears in the nightcap…like Guardians in game 2 of the doubleheader

Townsend ML. She has been playing fantastic at the us olen as she always does. I feel like there is serious value here as a +140 dog even vs schinder who also played well in her last match. Townsend has the ability to shorten the points and really be aggressive taking the racket out of Schnider’s hands.

ATL (+102) Two great pitchers so should be a tight game. PHI just lost after winning 6 in a row. Last time they lost after 6+ straight wins, they dropped their next game (anti-swagger). To top it off, they just got back after a 3 team road trip out west.

Cardinals at Rockies | Cardinals ML -130

Ryan Feltner has been rocked for 15 runs over his past 3 outings and ranks in just the 3rd percentile in pitching run value overall.

Atlanta Braves -102
Braves playing great winning eight of their last ten games
Braves have taken 5 of 6 games from the Phillies this season
Braves are 37-23 against >.500 teams while the Phillies are only 28-31
Braves starter Sale has a 2.06 ERA and 1.00 WHIP
Phillies starter Sanchez is 0-4 in his career against the Braves
Braves bullpen has much better ERA than the Phillies

Braves/Phillies UNDER 6.5 (EV)

Great, great pitching matchup to kick off this game, crucial series. ATL enters with a slim 4 game lead. Both Sale and Sanchez enter with under 2.5 ERA, and Sale is almost under 2. Take away his 3rd start of the season back in April, and Sale has not surrendered more than 3 runs in a game(4 times). Sanchez has been just as impressive, giving up only 7 runs in 6 August starts. This should be a great game.

Aryna Sabalenka -5.5 (-180) Games

Going to try and stay perfect with these women's tennis lines. Why go against the #1 player in the world when she is motivated and playing her best. Big juice to lay, but should be another easy winner.

MLB:

Tampa Bay -105

Rays are 8-0 in their last 8 vs. American League West.
Rays are 7-0 in Martinez’s last 7 road starts vs. a team with a losing record.
Rays are 7-0 in their last 7 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game.
Nick Martinez has started 12 games on the road for Tampa Bay. The Rays are 10-2 in those games.
Martinez has an ERA of 1.96 away from home.

Detroit Tigers +116 (Game 1)

I like the way Montero has been pitching this year. He's decent with his 3.24 ERA but a 0.98 WHIP is where he shines. Montero has been solid over his last 3 games giving up 4 earned runs in 16.2 innings. Cleveland is going with Logan Allen who usually goes only about 1-3 innings so it looks like it'll be a bullpen game for them. The Guardians (I hate how they lost the Indians name) are also the worst hitting team with runners in scoring position so hopefully that will help.

o8 Boston / Baltimore

Both pitchers have struggled a bit. On the flip side both offenses have been producing. Suarez for Boston his last 3 has gone 15+ innings giving up 17 hits and 11 earned runs. Baz in his last 3 has gone 17+ giving up 8 runs and 14 hits. With these offenses clicking I see no problem hitting 8 and cashing the over

Braves -101 showdown between two really good pitchers. love what i seen out of Sale last time out. The competitive spirit he showed going back out in the 9th against the Dodgers is what you want out of a pitcher. Getting playoff time and time for the Braves to shine

MLB

920 White Sox

White Sox are 10-7 as a Home Favorite
White Sox are 41-27 at Home
Minnesota is 29-39 on the Road

A's/Seattle Mariners game over 7

A's are 7-3 over/under the past 10 games and are putting a rookie on the mound tonight with his only start back in June where he allowed 9 runs in 4 innings pitched. Seattle is 6-4 over/under it past 10 games.

TB -110

Martinez has been lights out and in great current form. rays bats should get in gear and the price is cheap. Lay it on the road with the AL East to be champions

Toledo +10 Something is fishy about this spread. Mich St finish 4-8 overall and just 1-8 in Conf and just 3-3 at home last year. Toledo finish 8-5 overall and 6-2 in conf. I know two different programs and football skills Mich St big name and Toledo isnt. Mich St doesn't have the players and the depth they once had. Will Mich St win ( most likely ) but i think Toledo has the players to make this a close hard fought battle and cover the 10 pts here.

Diamondbacks +116 over Astros

Battle of 2 franchises in some turmoil...
Kelly historically is the better pitcher, 9-12 on the year but went 7 innings last time out and gave up 0 runs...
Kelly has a 1.47 whip and 95 Ks, Astros 20th in BA...Kelly has a chance to get some swing and misses
Lavello is a better manager and Dbacks are better defensively...
Take the plus money
