Okay, now here are the other premiums. Happy Thirsty Thurz, all!
MLB Picks:
Mets -153, to win 1 unit
This is a really tough spot for the Marlins, traveling from Miami to NY after a disappointing loss and facing Trevor Williams on the mound, who’s coming off his worst performance of the season against Texas last week. Williams should button up at home and while Castano is good, the Mets are looking for vengeance after he snagged a 3-2 in Miami against them last time.
Tigers under 2.5 runs (+125), to win 1.25 units
White Sox -1.5 (-115) to win 1 unit
Detroit is coming off a 4-0 series sweep of Cleveland, man those Guardians are frustrating, and now travel to Chicago all fat and sassy to take on Dylan Cease, one of the most consistent aces in baseball. Cease has been electric for the Sox and his marks have only improved as the season progresses. Love this spot for Chicago and for their negative regression as well.
Foreign Basketball:
FIBA World Cup
Spain vs. Ukraine: Spain 1H -3 (-115)
Spain is clearly the better team and has out-classed Ukraine by margin in 2/4 of their matchups, winning 3/4. Their two most recent wins started with big leads at halftime and they cruised to a win in the second half, albeit in less inspiring second halves. Since the full game line is now a big but reasonable -6.5, we’ll take the 1H for the Spaniards to gain an early, impressive lead.
CFL Picks:
Stampeders/Elks over 50.5 (just a lean now)
Elks +3.5 (-110), to win 1 unit
As long as Calgary has Bo Levi Mitchell at QB and he stays healthy, this is a team that can score points. Last time the Elks nearly beat the Stampeders and had little issue scoring as well. The Elks are in a better position, at home after a loss, to at least keep this close. We’ll put a unit on the Elks and lean over.
