Carlos Alcaraz vs Daniil Medvedev match prediction The aforementioned meeting between these two at Indian Wells this year was incredibly one-sided. Alcaraz took it 6-3, 6-2 and never once looked threatened by the former World No. 1. I don’t see much changing this time around. Alcaraz is really only in danger when he faces someone who can hit the ball as hard as he does. That’s what’s made Jannik Sinner a problem for him on tour, and it’s why he dropped sets this tournament to Matteo Berrettini and Nicolas Jarry. Against a passive player like Medvedev who loves to sit back and play defense, Alcaraz isn’t ever going to look flustered. The Spaniard has a lethal combination of other-worldly power and deft touch. That is exactly the type of player Medvedev hates to face, considering he stands so far back in the court to utilize his elite defense. Alcaraz’s drop shot is the best in the world by a mile, and he proved in his win over Medvedev at Indian Wells that he can utilize the serve and volley to perfection to exploit Medvedev’s court position. I don’t see any reason why Alcaraz should lose this one. Prediction:Alcaraz ML (-250 at DraftKings) Carlos Alcaraz vs Daniil Medvedev best bet So – you don’t want to pay up for the Alcaraz moneyline, which is very understandable. What’s the move, then? I like the Alcaraz set spread. You’re betting on Alcaraz to win inside of five sets with this line, and that seems like the most likely outcome. As I noted above, Alcaraz has only really looked threatened at this tournament by players who sock the ball. Medvedev can’t do that, and the evidence for this is in that Indian Wells match. There, he tried to get aggressive and hit low-percentage shots against Alcaraz only to make an inordinate number of errors. Medvedev looked lost for answers in that match, and I’d expect more of the same here. We’ve grown accustomed to an Alcaraz level drop in all of his best-of-five matches, so I think it’s certainly feasible Medvedev could nab a set here. I don’t expec...

Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner match prediction The last meeting between these two was nothing short of epic. Sinner stunned Djokovic by taking the first set of their quarterfinal match 7-5 and looked dominant with a 6-2 second set. It was then that Djokovic turned the tables as he does so well, hitting some incredibly difficult shots and winning the next three sets rather easily. Sinner is a well-coached player with Darren Cahill in his box and has only grown since then, but it’s hard to say he has enough to beat Djokovic here. You have to keep in mind that prior to that Wimbledon match, Djokovic had seen Sinner just once – and that match took place on clay. He wasn’t ready for the overwhelming ball striking that Sinner brought to the table, but in time he was able to devise a gameplan to stop him. I expect Djokovic to continue with what he started a year ago. He figured out rather quickly how to read the Sinner serve, and while the Italian has added a bit of pop to that delivery it’s still nowhere good enough to trouble the best returner of all time. Prediction:Djokovic ML (-475 at DraftKings) Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner best bet I believe this game total is far too high, so I’m going to side with the under here. The fact of the matter is that Sinner could win a set and this under could still cash. Djokovic has now won three sets in a row against Sinner and clearly has the Italian’s game figured out by this point. There may be some new tactics employed by Sinner such as the serve and volley, but Djokovic is arguably the greatest player of all time at making in-match adjustments and problem solving. Whatever adversity he faces here – if any – should be short-lived. Sinner’s nerves should get the best of him here just as they did when he found himself up two sets on Djokovic last year. He’s consistently proven that he will falter on the biggest stages, blowing match point against Carlos Alcaraz last year at t...

The integrity of professional soccer is being questioned once again following another legal sports betting incident. Nottingham Forest defender Harry Toffolo has allegedly breached the Football Association’s betting rules. The FA’s rules prohibit players from wagering or providing information that could be used to place bets. As a result of the alleged breach, the 27-year-old has been charged with 375 violations that occurred over a three-year period between January 2014 and March 2017. During that span, Toffolo spent time with Norwich City and was on loan for clubs including Swindon Town, Rotherham United, Doncaster Rovers, and Peterborough United. According to the FA’s statement on the matter, Toffolo has until July 19 to respond to the alleged breach. The charges against Toffolo add to a growing list of athletes betting on sports. In May, Brentford striker Ivan Toney was suspended for eight months for the prohibited use of UK betting sites. Toney, who is banned from play until January 2024, admitted to more than 230 violations of the FA’s betting rules. The same month, Colorado Rapids midfielder Max Alves was suspended by the team over allegations of illegal use of sports betting sites. The probe into Alves came after Brazil prosecutors charged 16 people, including other professional soccer players, for alleged match-fixing. The alleged scheme involved 13 matches in Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and Série B — Brazil’s top-flight soccer leagues. Widespread issue Last month, the NFL suspended Isaiah Rodgers and Rashod Berry of the Indianapolis Colts and free agent Demetrius Taylor indefinitely through at least the end of the 2023 season for violating the league’s gambling policy. The three players received suspensions for wagering on NFL games during the 2022 campaign. Rodgers, who was drafted in the 2020 NFL Draft out of UMass, placed roughly 100 wagers in an associate’s name. The cornerback also reportedly placed a $1,000 prop bet on the Over/Under rushing yards of an unnamed Colts running back. Following the suspensions, the Colts waived both Rodgers and Berry. The league also handed out a six-game suspension to Nicholas Petit-Frere of Tennessee Titans for wagering at the team’s facility. Gambling-related incidents have also trickled down to college athletic programs. In May, Ohio gambling regulators suspended wagering on Alabama college baseball following a suspicious retail bet. The wager led to a probe into Alabama baseball, which ended with the firing of head coach Brad Bohannon. The University of Iowa and Iowa State athletic programs are also facing scrutiny after the state’s Racing and Gaming Commission launched an investigation into alleged unlawful sports wagering by more than 40 student-athletes and one employee at the two institutions. The probe is centered on the use of online sportsbooks. In 2022, Sportradar detected 1,212 suspicious matches across 12 different sports. Soccer led the group with 775 suspicious matches last year, up from 695 in 2021. Despite the uptick and the influx of gambling incidents in 2023, over 99.5% of all sporting events are free from match-fixing, per Sportradar.

The Las Vegas Aces have not lost at home, while the Phoenix Mercury have managed just one win on the road. An outright upset tonight would be the most shocking result of the WNBA season. With the WNBA odds spread favoring Las Vegas by 17.5 points, is a close game even remotely feasible? Here are our free WNBA picks and predictions for the Mercury vs the Aces on July 11, with tip set for 10:00 p.m. ET. Mercury vs Aces best odds Mercury vs Aces picks and predictions Sometimes even the defending champions need a wake-up call, and the Wings gave one to the Aces last week. Handing Las Vegas its first loss in a month was no small feat, but the wake-up call was really how tough Dallas played in both games of a back-to-back, losing by just seven points in the first game. Do not ascribe that to a backdoor cover: It was a one-bucket game with five minutes to go. The Wings did not shoot well in either game, going 9 of 38 combined from deep. If that 23.7 percent wasn’t bad enough, Dallas also shot just 43.3 percent from the field in the two-game series. How, then, did the Wings play the Aces close in Game 1 and win Game 2? In the first, they protected the ball, giving up just eight turnovers, while forcing 13 mistakes by Las Vegas. In the second, Dallas won the rebounding battle 36 to 25. More than most items in a box score, those are both want-to aspects. Hustle, effort, however you want to phrase it. The Aces simply did not go all-out, and it cost them. That has not been the case most of the year. Up until those two games, Las Vegas had the fewest turnovers in the league per 100 possessions while Dallas ranked No. 8. Per 100 possessions, the Aces were outrebounding their opponents by 2.9 boards. The Wings are the best rebounding team in the WNBA, but dominating the glass by 11 in a game with only about 82 possessions was extreme. Las Vegas did not show up with the intensity needed. It then responded with a 24-point win at Minnesota in which the Aces turned over the ball just 11 times while forcing 13 mistakes. Las Vegas won the rebounding battle 34 to 26. That’s more like it. And that’s what should continue tonight. Phoenix grabs the fewest rebounds in the league while giving up the fifth-most. The Mercury turn over the ball more than any other team while ranking in the bottom half of the WNBA in turnovers forced. The measurable spots of effort that plagued the Aces last week have been the Mercury’s downfall all season. But a 17.5-point spread is lofty. And those moments of renewed intensity should be most noticeable while the game is still somewhat close. Thus, backing Las Vegas in the first half is a justifiable approach, trusting the Aces to pour it on early in night one of a back-to-back.

Will that be enough for them to cover the spread tonight as 6-point road underdogs? I let you know with my best free WNBA picks and predictions for Strom vs. Mystics on July 11. Storm vs Mystics best odds Storm vs Mystics picks and predictions These teams clashed twice earlier this year when the Mystics traveled to Seattle for back-to-back road games against the Storm on June 11 and 13. The Mystics won that first meeting 73-66 but failed to cover the massive spread as 12.5-point faves with Seattle missing star guard Jewell Loyd. Loyd returned for that second meeting and the Mystics were actually without Delle Donne but won 71-65 to cover as 3.5-point chalk. The Mystics have been a below-average team on offense and rank just eighth in the league in offensive rating and effective field goal percentage (47.9%). They'll be even less efficient on that end of the floor without Delle Donne who leads the squad with 18.2 points per game on 49/39/96 shooting splits. The Mystics will also be without center Shakira Austin (11.4 ppg and a team-leading 7.8 rebounds per game) who has missed the last five games with a hip injury. They do have some good news on the injury front with point guard Natasha Cloud (team-high 6.1 assists per game) listed as probable after missing the last two contests. Despite the absence of Delle Donne and Austin, they'll be happy to face a Seattle team that is third-last in the league in defensive rating. The Storm have been even worse with the ball, ranking last in offensive rating and EFG% (46%). They are expected to have Loyd in the lineup despite her leaving Saturday's game early with an ankle injury. Loyd leads the league in scoring with 24.9 ppg but shoots just 38.8% from the floor and center Ezi Magbegor (14.3 ppg) is the only other member of the team to average double digits in points. Even with Loyd active, they'll have a tough time getting buckets against a Mystics team that ranks second in the league in defensive rating and allows a league-low 78.2 ppg. The Mystics have an incredible +18.3 net rating during the first half of games but that shockingly drops to a league-worst -12.6 net rating in the second half. That trend has been even more pronounced in contests without Delle Donne who is their go-to option in crunch time. Against the Storm on June 11, they led by 25 at the half but were outscored 44-25 after halftime. Last week, they held the Wings to 37 points in the first half but allowed them to score 52 during the second frame. And they led 55-40 at halflast Friday vs. the Fever but were outscored by seven points in the second half. With Seattle having a WNBA-worst net rating of -13.6 in the first 20 minutes, back the home side on the first-half spread.

At the beginning of the regular season, I examined how the new rule changes would potentially impact the game as MLB established new measures to speed up the game while also increasing scoring. Some of the major changes I looked at were the pitch clock and pitcher disengagements as well as the bigger bases and the partial ban of the infield shift. Now 90 games into the 2023 season, it’s time to look at how those rules have affected the game and compare those results with other first-half seasons in terms of runs, balls in play, and stolen bases. It’s essential to look at the time from late March to the middle of July as not counting for all of July and August would be taking the best hitting months, in terms of weather, out of the analysis. I’m starting my data from the 2016 season as that was the first big spike in home runs (around 5,600 a season) and will be omitting the 2020 season as it started in July due to the pandemic. Now there is some variance because of the smaller data set (back to 2016) and the seemingly juiced-ball seasons. Still, a comparison to the previous six first halves will give a good indicator of how the new rule changes have altered the contemporary game. Balls in play With the new shift rules, I assumed batting averages would be slightly up to coincide with more balls in play and their success rate. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see a decrease in double plays as pull hitters theoretically have a new lease on life this year. However, despite an across-the-board increase in all four stats year-on-year, the numbers are very similar to the six-year averages. Year BABIP AVG 1B/PA GIDP/PA 2023 .297 .248 7.04 53.23 2022 .289 .242 7.08 54.09 2021 .291 .240 7.13 54.96 2019 .298 .252 7.16 54.43 2018 .295 .247 7.07 52.55 2017 .299 .254 6.89 48.15 16-22 average .296 .249 7.00 52.41 I really thought I’d see some more standout numbers in terms of average, balls in play, and even fewer GIDPs, but I was wrong. Yes, most of the numbers are higher than last season as a six-point jump in AVG is significant, but this season’s first-half numbers are still not as good as the 2016 and 2017 first halves and those were the first two seasons with 5,000-plus home runs since 2010. There was some swing-and-miss in those seasons. The rule changes have affected the balls in play, but it looks more like a course correction from the last couple of seasons and not the groundbreaking shift to the game over the last eight years some may have anticipated.

A youth-league baseball coach is the center of the University of Alabama baseball scandal that shook the legal sports betting world in the spring. According to a report from SI.com, Bert Neff Jr. attempted to place a wager of more than $100,000 on LSU at the BetMGM Sportsbook inside the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Ohio, after communicating with then-Crimson Tide head coach and LSU opponent Brad Bohannon on April 28. Suspicious betting That set off plenty of alarms as it was more than the sportsbook’s handle on all sports for the entire month. The sportsbook declined to accept the bet, as Neff was adamant about placing the wager and even told ticket writers that he had inside information, according to the report. “It couldn’t have been any more reckless," a source told SI.com. Security cameras confirmed that Neff was texting Bohannon on an encrypted app and was told by the head coach that starting pitcher Luke Holman was scratched because of a back injury. The sportsbook informed U.S. Integrity, a firm that partners with sports leagues and sports betting operators to make sure competition is fair and transparent. It notified the Southeastern Conference and the Ohio Casino Control Commission, which prohibited sportsbooks in the state to allow Alabama baseball wagering. Bohannon was fired on May 4 after the university discovered his involvement, which included being a part of a text group with Neff and other gambling associates, according to the report. Ongoing investigations Neff built contacts in the college baseball world through his connections with youth coaching and recruiting, and he’s also at the center of other betting scandals. Some of his associates are under investigation by the Indiana Gaming Commission, according to the report, for attempting to place wagers on the LSU-Alabama game on the same day in Neff’s home state. Two University of Cincinnati baseball assistants were fired earlier this year reportedly because of connections with Neff, whose son Andrew plays for the Bearcats. Head coach Scott Googins resigned on May 31 following an investigation. That’s not all. Neff is believed to be at the forefront of an NCAA investigation at Xavier University. While the college athletics governing body refused to comment on any investigations, SI.com sources say Neff’s relationships with coaches inside that program are being looked into as well. Cracking down With legal sports growing throughout the country, both college and pro athletes have been involved in wagering and violating policies from their governing bodies. The NFL has suspended nine players, including four on June 29, for various amounts of games in 2023 for gambling inside team facilities. No game manipulation was found in the NFL’s investigations. While no players at LSU, Alabama, Cincinnati, or Xavier have been implicated in any improprieties surrounding Neff’s involvements, athletes from various sports at Iowa and Iowa State are under NCAA and state investigations for placing wagers. However, the NCAA is revamping its punishment to add discipline levels for wagering on players’ own teams, opponents, and amounts wagered.

With the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup surging towards a big finish, Jamaica and Mexico go head-to-head on Wednesday for a place in the final. For Jamaica, this run to the semifinals continues an impressive record at the Gold Cup, with Amari’i Bell’s winner against Guatemala over the weekend making it four trips to the semis in the last five tries for the Reggae Boyz. That raises the prospect of an upset here, but Mexico showed flashes of their quality in solid group-stage wins over Honduras and Haiti.

For Jamaica, this run to the semifinals continues an impressive record at the Gold Cup, with Amari’i Bell’s winner against Guatemala over the weekend making it four trips to the semis in the last five tries for the Reggae Boyz. That raises the prospect of an upset here, but Mexico showed flashes of their quality in solid group-stage wins over Honduras and Haiti. Though they didn’t hit top gear in their quarterfinal win over Costa Rica, an Orbelin Pineda penalty and a late goal from Erick Sanchez sent the Mexicans through. Find out which side I'm leaning toward in my free Jamaica vs Mexico betting picks for this Wednesday, July 12 showdown. Jamaica vs Mexico best odds Jamaica Mexico +500 Moneyline -223 +375 Draw +375 Over 2.5 (-118) Total Under 2.5 (-106) Odds courtesy of bet365 on July 11, 2023. Jamaica vs Mexico picks and predictions While the Jamaicans are no strangers to reaching this stage of the Gold Cup, they’ve only reached the final twice and are still looking to hoist the trophy for the first time. So what makes this year’s team different? It starts with the quality that manager Heimir Hallgrimsson can turn to in the final third, with Demarai Gray, Leon Bailey, and Bobby De Cordova-Reid supporting Michail Antonio. That blend of pace and power gives Jamaica the kind of cutting edge that can trouble this Mexico defense — and they’ve already scored 11 goals on their path to the last four while only conceding twice. The Reggae Boyz have proven plenty at this tournament. They came within minutes of beating the USMNT in the group stage (but had to settle for a 1-1 draw) and cruised past Trinidad Tobago — with Gray scoring twice. These recent results point to Jamaica as a team on the rise with a great opportunity to make a statement. Despite their underdogs tag, I see the Jamaicans stepping up on Wednesday. Sure, the Mexicans scored seven goals in their first two group games, but their underwhelming (and, at times, wasteful) outing against Costa Rica on the weekend is unlikely to have sparked sleepless nights for Jamaica ahead of this semifinal. I expect Jamaica to be up for this occasion and I’m picking the Reggae Boyz to find a way through, with these plus odds allowing for a win in extra time or penalties too.

The legal sports betting experience in Kentucky looks like it will be similar to what’s on offer in other states with event wagering. A swath of Kentucky sports betting regulations was approved on Monday by the state racing commission and Gov. Andy Beshear, setting the stage for a launch of legal wagering in the state in September.

The legal sports betting experience in Kentucky looks like it will be similar to what’s on offer in other states with event wagering. A swath of Kentucky sports betting regulations was approved on Monday by the state racing commission and Gov. Andy Beshear, setting the stage for a launch of legal wagering in the state in September. Under the current timeline, retail sports betting at horse-racing tracks and their satellite locations will start on September 7, while mobile wagering should begin on September 28. “This is a historic day for our commonwealth — sports wagering will open for the first time in Kentucky in less than 60 days,” Beshear said in a press release. Borrowing ideas The rules approved on Monday were then posted online by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission on Tuesday. Much of what was approved is technical, such as the requirement for a floor plan for a proposed brick-and-mortar sportsbook, including the locations of wagering kiosks. Licensees must also develop and maintain a responsible-gambling program that requires regulatory approval. Other rules are more or less in line with what other states with retail and online sports betting sites have done, give or take a few years of gaming eligibility and a much greater role for the horse-racing industry. This is partly due to Kentucky regulators spending months consulting with other state watchdogs and the gaming industry on their regulations. Kentucky was the 37th state to legalize sports betting, allowing it to draw on the experience of others. For starters, wagering on most sporting events will be allowed in Kentucky, albeit for those aged 18 and older. However, Kentucky sports betting sites are forbidden from accepting wagers on injuries, penalties, replay outcomes, disciplinary proceedings, amateur youth sporting events, and dog or horse races (residents will need to head to the track, OTB, or a separate app for that). Regarding advertising, licensees cannot use "any false or misleading" marketing about their sports-betting operations. Advertising at elementary, middle, or high school activities is also forbidden unless it's mass media, such as a radio spot overheard at those schools. Users can fund their accounts with debit and credit cards, among other things. Bettors who want to sign up for a mobile app or site will need to provide their full legal name, date of birth, and at least the last four digits of a Social Security number or "equivalent government identification number for a noncitizen, such as a passport or taxpayer identification number." It's an emergency The regulations were signed as “emergency” rules, meaning they go into effect immediately after being filed with the state’s Legislative Research Commission. Despite this, matching “ordinary” regulations were filed at the same time, allowing for public comment and legislative review of the rules. In the meantime, would-be sports betting sites are likely getting their paperwork ready. Kentucky’s licensed horse-racing facilities were allowed to start applying to open retail sportsbooks on Tuesday, as the state aims to get some of those books open for September 7, the start of the National Football League’s regular season. “We have worked hard to deliver sports wagering to Kentuckians with regulations designed to protect bettors,” Public Protection Cabinet Secre...

For my money, the Midsummer Classic is still the best All-Star game in all of sports, and this summer the MLB’s showcase of its top talent will head west to T-Mobile Park in Seattle. And not only is the MLB All-Star Game a great exhibition of the best players in the game, but it’s basically the only game in town this week when it comes to sports betting options. So, you know we’ve got to have some wagers on it. The American League, led by Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani, has won an incredible nine consecutive matchups vs. the National League and the MLB odds have them as the betting favorite to make it a perfect 10 in a row on Tuesday night. But that’s not the only betting trend going on in the All-Star Game. I break down the odds for the Midsummer Classic and bring you my best bet, plus a same-game parlay, in our free MLB picks and predictions for the 2023 MLB All-Star Game. Be sure to also check out my three favorite MLB All-Star Game player prop picks! MLB All-Star Game 2023 odds MLB All-Star Game 2023 predictions The American League has dominated the National League game for a while now, with the Junior Circuit winning the Midsummer Classic nine straight times and going 21-3-1 in the last 25. That’s a pretty stunning number considering the talent in the game should make the matchup close to a coin flip every year. But that’s not the only crazy trend going, heading into this year’s matchup at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. The Under is also an incredible 13-3 in the last 16 All-Star games and there has been an average of just 6.75 total runs scored per game over that stretch. It appears the old baseball adage holds true, perhaps especially in the All-Star Game: “Great pitching beats great hitting.” So, it’s fair to say pitchers have had the edge in the Midsummer Classic in recent years. But it seems oddsmakers and baseball bettors are aware of this trend. The total for last year’s All-Star game closed at 7.5 and that’s where this year’s opened. But thankfully for the fans, I think we might see a little more scoring this year. For starters, the new rules in baseball seem to be working. Scoring is up this year at 4.57 runs per team per game. It’s the third-highest scoring average since 2010 and people are stealing bases at the highest rate since 1997. Next, there is some incredible offensive talent in this game, particularly in the National League. The senior circuit can trot out some combination of the betting favorite to win the NL MVP in Ronald Acuna, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, super-rookie Corbin Carroll, and hitting machine Luis Arraez, just to name a few. The NL also has a ton of great sluggers ready to come off the bench including Matt Olson, Pete Alonso, Juan Soto, and Jorge Soler. The American League lineup is a little more interesting. They will be missing the pop of Aaron Judge and Mike Trout (don’t be surprised if Dusty Baker gives hometown hero Julio Rodriguez one of those starting outfield spots), and there may be more talent on the AL’s bench than in the starting lineup. That starting lineup is filled with Texas Rangers, who have been great offensively this season two of them are making their first All-Star start. Luckily, the likes of MLB home run leader and AL MVP frontrunner Shohei Ohtani and Tampa Bay Rays OF Randy Arozarena will balance things out. But as I said, their bench looks like the Jr. Circuit’s real streng...

The 2019 and 2021 champ has jumped the yard 26 times this season and is a logical favorite. Standing in his way are seven other sluggers, including Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays and Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox. Guerrero lost to Alonso in the 2019 Derby, but he may have been gassed in the final round after a memorable duel with Joc Pederson. He owns the record for most taters in a single competition (91). Robert has mashed a career-best 26 taters this season, providing some light in an otherwise dark season for the White Sox. The hometown favorite will be Julio Rodriguez of the Seattle Mariners. He has only 13 homers in 2023 but hit 28 as a rookie.

Sportradar generated $226.2 million in revenue in Q1 2023 — a 24% increase year-over-year. The company’s U.S. segment reported $43.3 million in revenue during the quarter — up 55% compared to Q1 2022. Sportradar’s results in the U.S. were driven by increased sales of betting and digital advertising products. The company saw its Rest of World segment post $118.3 million in revenue in Q1 2023, making up 52% of total revenue. The 25% increase compared to Q1 2022 was driven by live betting.

We’ve got a big MLS clash this Wednesday with LAFC hosting St. Louis City SC. The visitors are currently top of the Western Conference, but LAFC are just two spots back and chasing hard. A win here would put LAFC just two points behind the leaders. Can L.A. claw back an important three points here, or will St. Louis City extend their lead at the top of the conference? Don’t miss my LAFC vs. St. Louis City SC betting picks to find out what side I'm going with. LAFC vs St. Louis City SC best odds LAFC vs St. Louis City SC picks and predictions Despite being two spots behind St. Louis, it’s LAFC who are favorites with the bookies. We know about the pedigree that this team has, after all, they lifted two trophies last season — but the Black and Gold haven’t been at that level this season. That presents a real betting opportunity here and I can’t help but think St. Louis City are being heavily underestimated as +480 dogs. We know about some of the players that LAFC have at their disposal, such as Carlos Vela, Giorgio Chiellini, and of course, Denis Bouanga, who has been in great goalscoring form this season. Likewise, we know that St. Louis City will be without Joao Klauss, a big loss given that the Brazilian has notched five times in nine games. There’s also a chance that Eduard Lowen could miss out, but I’d expect him to be back for this game. He’ll be a big boost for the team, especially given that he’s scored five goals from midfield in 16 MLS games. The reality is that despite some uncertainty in the SC lineup, you simply can’t back LAFC at -175. Those odds are far too short for a team who have struggled with consistency lately. This is a squad who comes into this after a 1-1 draw with a 10-man San Jose. Before that, they lost three games on the bounce including that 2-1 loss in El Traffico. They’ve also conceded the same amount of goals in 21 games as St. Louis but have scored 10 less. St. Louis City have taken the MLS by storm in their inaugural expansion season, but although they have a youthful core, they’ve been tough to beat... winning their past three games by beating Toronto, Colorado, and San Jose, with two of those games on the road. SC have a good record on their travels this season, winning five of their 10 road games and losing just four times. My best bet: St. Louis City SC to win (+480 at Caesars) Not intended for use in MA.

Prop bet #1: Go Bo go There may be some hometown bias here, but I was a little shocked when Bo Bichette wasn’t named the starting shortstop for the American League. Bichette is having another outstanding season for the Toronto Blue Jays, leading the AL in hits with 122 while sporting a .317 batting average and .848 OPS. He has also played all but one of the Blue Jays’ 91 games prior to the All-Star break (31 more than starting shortstop Corey Seager, but I’m not bitter). But with guys like Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Jose Ramirez, Luis Robert Jr.,... Prop bet #1: Go Bo go There may be some hometown bias here, but I was a little shocked when Bo Bichette wasn’t named the starting shortstop for the American League. Bichette is having another outstanding season for the Toronto Blue Jays, leading the AL in hits with 122 while sporting a .317 batting average and .848 OPS. He has also played all but one of the Blue Jays’ 91 games prior to the All-Star break (31 more than starting shortstop Corey Seager, but I’m not bitter). But with guys like Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Jose Ramirez, Luis Robert Jr., and Wander Franco available as reserves, the AL’s bench might be the better option. So, don’t be surprised if Dusty Baker makes some switches early. Bo should be ready when his number is called tonight and does a solid job the first time he sees a new pitcher in a game. Bichette has a .294 BA this season when facing a new starter for the first time, and that average bumps up to .314 if it’s the first time he faces a reliever. I think Bichette is good for at least two ABs tonight but I’m betting he starts his second All-Star game with a bang. You can get Bichette to hit a single in his first plate appearance at +440. Bo Bichette prop : Single in first plate appearance (+440 at FanDuel) Prop bet #2: Patience at the plate What would an All-Star game be without a Juan Soto waggle? Nothing, that’s what. Soto was selected for his third All-Star game despite a slow start to the season with the San Diego Padres, but that could be said for all Padres' hitters. Soto was hitting just .202 through the month of April but has used that waggle to get his swagger back. Since then, Soto has looked much more like his regular self, hitting .295 with a .965 OPS. And one thing he continues to do better than anyone in baseball is draw walks. Soto leads MLB in walk rate, drawing a free pass in a stunning 21% of his plate appearances. The National League only has six outfielders on its roster, so it’s likely Soto gets into this Midsummer Classic somewhere in the middle innings. Soto may have a tough matchup when he gets to the plate, but if anyone can find a way to draw a walk in his first plate appearance, it’s him. Juan Soto prop : Walk in first plate appearance (+350 at FanDuel) Prop bet #3: J.D. for MVP Picking an MLB All-Star Game MVP winner can be tough, so, let’s try to narrow down some options here. For starters, position players have won the Midsummer Classic MVP in eight of the last 10 games played. Next, of those eight position players, seven of them hit home runs. Finally, if you read my All-Star Game betting preview, you’ll see I have a very slight lean toward the National League... and the winning team generally gets the MVP winner. So, basically, we are looking for an NL bopper here. Now, guys like Ronald Acuna Jr., and Mookie Betts are the obvious choices here, but let’s go with a guy giving us a little better value further down the board. How about designated hitter J.D. Martinez? The 35-year-old slugger was selected for his sixth All-Star team in his first season with the Dodgers thanks to a first half that saw him hit .255 with a .872 OPS while swatting 22 dingers. However, the way his season started, that wasn’t a certainty. Martinez was ice cold coming out of the gates hitting just .239 and hitting five home runs over his 30 games — which included a couple of minor in...

Then, a few weeks later, mobile apps and sites will go live.https://t.co/nwJIFaHwDD — Geoff Zochodne (@GeoffZochodne)July 10, 2023 Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear signed legal sports betting legislation into law on March 31, kicking the issue over to regulators to start laying the groundwork for a hopefully speedy launch. The KHRC has six months from the effective date of the law to get rules forKentucky sports betting in place, which would be Dec. 29 of this year. Beshear's office said Monday that Kentucky's licensed horse-racing facilities can start applying on Tuesday to open retail sportsbooks at their main location or an authorized satellite spot. There are 14 such locations, although four have yet to open. They are: Churchill Downs in Louisville Cumberland Run in Corbin (coming soon) Derby City Gaming in Louisville Derby City Gaming in Louisville (coming soon) Ellis Park in Owensboro (coming soon) Ellis Park in Henderson Keeneland in Lexington Kentucky Downs in Franklin The Mint Gaming Hall in Bowling Green Newport Racing and Gaming in Newport Oak Grove Gaming and Racing in Oak Grove The Red Mile in Lexington Sandy’s Gaming and Racing in Ashland (coming soon) Turfway Park in Florence "The state anticipates that each facility will open a retail location, and many will be ready to launch Sept. 7," a press release from Beshear's office stated. A spokesperson for Louisville-based Churchill Downs Inc. said they intend to open their retail sportsbook on September 7, licensing and regulations permitting. "Churchill Downs continues to move forward with ongoing efforts to make sports wagering available at our established racing and gaming facilities throughout Kentucky, and we will share updates as plans are finalized," the company said in a statement. "We are excited for the opportunities sports betting brings for tourism and economic development across the Commonwealth and for the chance to welcome new guests into our entertainment venues to also wager on live and historical racing, which will further strengthen our state’s signature equine industry."

Just three months ago, Iowa reported a legal sports betting handle of over $230 million. Now with fewer sports to attract the casual bettor, Iowa’s betting market has fallen over 50% in June. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission announced that the state accepted $115.5 million in wagers last month, a 21.8% decrease compared to May. That’s three straight months with a decreasing handle, all by double-digit percentages. While May’s decrease in action was buoyed by a jump in revenue, June did not see the same luck for the sportsbooks. Last month, operators saw just $7.1 million in net receipts, well short of the $16.6 million that was brought in during May. There may not have been much to bet on, but Iowans made it count. The hold percentage fell to 6.1%. May, by comparison, saw sportsbooks keeping 11% of the wagers they accepted. This means state coffers were light in June. Sportsbooks collectively paid just $570,976 to the state, a roughly 43% drop off. However, Iowans who traveled to a brick-and-mortar sportsbook turned their luck around in June. These sportsbooks held just 3.5% of their bets last month, compared to the 13% the month prior. Bet365 joins Iowa’s crowded market with limited success Despite the weak handle in the Hawkeye State, most of the 19 operators turned a slight profit in June. Only three sportsbooks were in the red, and one of them was most likely by design. Bet365 entered the crowded Iowa market last month and certainly spent money on customer acquisitions, and it paid off. The bad news is the UK sportsbook lost $1.5 million in June, but their spending spree brought them to fifth place in the state in terms of handle. Their $3.6 million in action was more than Barstool, BetRivers, and PointsBet, among many others. Still, DraftKings maintained its hold on Iowa’s betting market with $39.8 million total handle. FanDuel was second with $27.6 million in bets. Caesars was third with $15.7 million followed by BetMGM with $9 million.

According to figures released by Maryland Lottery and Gaming, sportsbooks in the Old Line State saw the June hold fall to 10.6%, well below the yearly average of 13.3%. Mobile wagers made up $243.8 million of Maryland’s overall handle, including $7.7 million in promotional plays. Retail produced just $633,901 of revenue on a handle of $10.6 million for a hold of just 5.9%. FanDuel hold remains high FanDuel certainly took a hit in wagers as the handle fell from $146.3 million in May to $108.7 million in June, but with a 13.3% win rate, the sportsbook giant still brought in $14.5 million in profits, including $10.8 million in taxable revenue.DraftKings finished second in Maryland with a handle of $89.7 million, and a hold of 8.9% left the FanDuel rival with $7.8 million in revenue. BetMGM was the only other sportsbook in the Old Line State to take in over $20 million in wagers, and it hauled in $2.2 million in revenue before promotional plays and other deductions. Caesars produced the state’s lowest win rate at 4.9%, leading to gross revenue of $588,740 on a handle of $11.9 million for June. No other operators reached $5 million in handle for the month. Fanatics, which launched in late May and is still in the beta stage, brought in $1.6 million in mobile wagers while paying out $1.2 million in winnings to bettors and giving away $616,000 in promotional plays. Retail reports low figures It wasn’t a great month for brick-and-mortar shops. MGM National Harbor, which produced a lower handle in May than Live! Casino, bounced back by taking in $3.6 million in retail wagersin June . However, it produced just a 3.7% win rate, and with a handle of $2.8 million, Live! Casino paid out $2.6 million to bettors, giving the retail sportsbook a slight edge in taxable revenue of $161,116 to MGM National Harbor’s $122,836. Horseshoe Casino took a loss despite producing $1.4 million in wagers.

His team has been a disappointment this year, but the 2019 and 2021 victor has socked 26 dingers this season and is a deserving favorite. Also among the choices in this year’s Home Run Derby is Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays, and Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox. Guerrero was involved in a memorable duel with Joc Pederson in the 2019 Derby and actually owns the record for most taters in a single competition (91).

Though neither league's leader in home runs (Shohei Ohtani from the AL, Matt Olson from the NL) will be represented, there are still some big boppers taking part. ????DINGER PROPS???? #HRDerby pic.twitter.com/YJ2EUkEJ68 — Andrew Caley (@Covers_Caley) July 10, 2023 And it's no surprise to see New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso enter as the betting favorite having won twice before (2019, 2021). Will Alonso become a three-time winner after coming up short in 2022? Let's break down the MLB odds for the 2023 Home Run Derby, scheduled for Monday, July 10 at 8 p.m. ET. And don't forget to check out Andrew Caley's Home Run Derby props column. Odds to win the 2023 Home Run Derby Odds courtesy of DraftKings on July 10, 2023. 2023 MLB Home Run Derby first-round matchups Luis Robert (1) vs. Adley Rutschman (8) Pete Alonso (2) vs. Julio Rodriguez (7) Mookie Betts (3) vs. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (6) Adolis Garcia (4) vs. Randy Arozarena (5) Seeds were determined by amount of home runs hit during the regular season through July 4. 2023 MLB Home Run Derby field and favorites While some players shy away from the Home Run Derby — especially when it comes to repeat performances — because it might mess with their swing or their timing at the plate, New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso seems to live for this event. This marks the fourth consecutive year he's taken part. He won his first two attempts before falling to Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez in the semifinals last year. Rodriguez — who gets a possible hometown advantage with the event being hosted in Seattle — hit by far the most dingers in last year's tournament with 81 but most of those came in the first two rounds before falling to Juan Soto in the finals. Soto isn't back to defend his title this year, and only one of these two returning sluggers will make it past the first round because they're matched up once more. Oddsmakers aren't too bullish on J-Rod, but he does have the fourth-shortest odds to win the whole thing despite going up against the overall favorite in the opening round. Should Alonso outlast Rodriguez this time around, he could face another familiar foe in Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the man he defeated in the 2019 finals to win his first Derby crown. Guerrero will first have to defeat Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts, who, despite having hit the third-most homers this year among competitors, has shorter odds than just two of his peers. Betts is surprisingly making his first appearance, but so is the rest of the field. That includes top seed Luis Robert, who draws Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman in what looks like a potential gimmee, though regular-season pop can't always be used as a predictive force. Finally, Adolis Garcia and Randy Arozarena round out the field in what might be the most swagger-filled matchup in the opening round. Best MLB bonuses Looking to bet on some baseball action?

Yes, I know the derby is taking place in his backyard at Seattle's T-Mobile Park.

Prop bet #1: No home cooking This is going to be an unpopular play, particularly for those in Seattle. But I’m fading Julio Rodriguez in this year’s Home Run Derby. Yes, I know the derby is taking place in his backyard at Seattle's T-Mobile Park. And yes, I know J-Rod was electric in last year’s event at Dodger Stadium, blasting 63 home runs in the first two rounds before running out of gas in the finals vs. Juan Soto. But last year’s J-Rod is not this year’s J-Rod. Part of the reason for the Mariners' struggles is because Rodriguez looks like he has taken a step back in 2023. The right-handed slugger still hits the ball hard but doing it with consistency has been a problem this year and consistency is king in a derby setting. Rodriguez has hit a mediocre 13 home runs this season and has seen his some of his other power numbers drop considerably. The M’s centerfielder has an expected slugging percentage of .436 which ranks in the 61st percentile and a barrel rate of 9.8%, which is in the 63rd percentile. Sure, those numbers are fine but rank near the bottom of this year’s competitors and last year they were .460 and 13.8%. The matchup doesn’t do Rodriguez any favors, either. He’ll go up against two-time derby winner Pete Alonso in Round 1. Now, Rodriguez and Alonso faced off in the semifinals with Julio outslugging Pete 31-23 but I think the Polar Bear has the edge this time around. As a two-time winner, the Mets first baseman knows what to expect in this competition. No one has hit more derby dingers than Alonso. He also has the record for the most home runs hit in the first round with 35. On top of that, he has been the more consistent power hitter of the two this season. Alonso ranks in the 95th percentile in xSLG and the 91st percentile in barrel rate. He also has the edge over Rodriguez in expected home runs, average home run distance, and no-doubter percentage (that rate in which home runs would be home runs in all 30 ballparks). I get the hometown angle with Rodrigues here, but the fact is he’s been arguably the most inconsistent home run hitter in the field this year. I like the Polar Bear to exact some revenge on J-Rod this year, which means just one round for Rodriguez. I’m taking the Under on Rodriguez’s total home runs at 28.5. Julio Rodriguez prop: Under 28.5 total home runs (-125 at DraftKings) Prop bet #2: Vlad, Mookie put on show For my money, Mookie Betts vs. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the hardest first-round matchup to predict. That’s because I believe both Betts and Guerrero have an excellent chance to lift the trophy Monday night in Seattle. Betts enters the Home Run Derby as the third seed after an incredible first half that saw him swat an awesome 26 dingers and lead the National League in slugging. Betts may say he doesn’t have a swing for the derby but I still believe he can put on a good show. While his home runs don’t always go the furthest, he does a better job of putting power on the ball at a more consistent level than arguably anyone in baseball. The former MVP is the leader in this field in xSLG, sitting in the 97th percentile. He is also in the 92nd percentile in average exit velocity and the 83rd in barrel rate. Additionally, 42.3% of his home runs are no-doubters. That’s the fourth-best rate in the field. So, while Betts’ dingers may not be the biggest bombs, they aren’t exactly Yankee Stadiu...

An emerging legal sports betting operator is temporarily shuttering its business amid a transition to its own in-house technology. Barstool Sportsbook, owned by PENN Entertainment, has announced that it will shut down its online betting sites to undergo a 72-hour planned maintenance period that started the night of July 9. Barstool’s decision to undergo changes to its sportsbook is the result of the operator shifting away from gambling software provider Kambi to create its own in-house proprietary platform. Barstool and Kambi had worked together since 2021 with the acquisition of theScore. As a result of Barstool’s decision to part ways with Kambi, the PENN-owned operator will pay a $12.5 million settlement fee to Kambi. Barstool will also have to fork over an additional $15 million for costs associated with “transition services.” Barstool’s maintenance period will allow the sportsbook to launch its own betting technology but comes at the cost of customers. Users of Barstool Sportsbook will be unable to access their accounts impacting the ability to request withdrawals. The temporary shutdown will also see customers lose the ability after relaunch to cash out of any open wager placed prior to July 10. Despite the inability to use Barstool Sportsbook during the maintenance period, the company is looking to improve the user experience with the updates. The platform will have faster loads, withdrawal times, and expanded player prop markets. Barstool will also upgrade its promotions. Business decision Barstool’s shift to its own technology will allow the sportsbook to cut costs as it looks to narrow losses. PENN reported $1.67 billion in revenue for the first quarter ending March 31, 2023 — a 7% increase year-over-year. The company’s interactive segment, which includes Barstool Sportsbook, posted $233.5 million in revenue in Q1 2023 but had an adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.7 million. The losses came as Barstool Sportsbook expanded to Ohio and Massachusetts. PENN purchased a 36% stake in the Barstool Sports media brand in 2020 for $163 million. In February, the company acquired the remaining 64% of Barstool in a deal valued at $388 million.

The pair split the first two games of this series, with the Yankees getting the better of the Cubs yesterday. For various reasons, New York has been difficult to pen down this season. Chief among them is once they start playing better for a stretch, the offense disappears. Yesterday was an exception to that rule, as New York struck early and often.

The pair split the first two games of this series, with the Yankees getting the better of the Cubs yesterday. For various reasons, New York has been difficult to pen down this season. Chief among them is once they start playing better for a stretch, the offense disappears. Yesterday was an exception to that rule, as New York struck early and often. The loss for Chicago was a continuation of .500 play over its last four games. They'll enter today in third place in a highly competitive NL Central race. Read on for my best bet and full MLB picks and predictions for Cubs vs. Yankees on Sunday, July 9. Cubs vs Yankees odds Cubs vs Yankees predictions As someone who supports and follows the Yankees on a day-to-day basis, it's been difficult for me to get a grasp on this team. We've seen just how many flaws Aaron Judge covered up. We've seen some good moments too, but it's mostly been sluggish offensive showings as they try to piece together runs. And that plays into my best bet today. In the absence of its star, it's been rare that this New York team has put together back-to-back solid offensive performances. With Kyle Hendricks taking the mound for the Cubs, I don't expect that to start today, either. I'm grabbing the Under as my best bet. Let's start with the Domingo German side of things first. Two starts ago, the Yankees hurler had a magical night when he threw a perfect game against the Oakland Athletics. He followed that up with a start more typical of him when he allowed three runs in just over four innings to the Baltimore Orioles. German's success is predicated on getting chased outside the zone and creating some misses. I'm expecting him to be able to do both of those things this afternoon, which is why I'm backing him to have success. The Cubs make the sixth-least contact on pitches thrown in the zone. Because of that, they've made some midseason changes. While they've not ranked high overall this season in chase rate, over the last month, they have the fourth-highest clip in baseball in that metric. That could have led to their strikeout per game number ticking up and reaching the sixth-highest number in baseball. Either way, this should enable Germany to eat up some innings. It's not a coincidence that his perfect game against the Oakland Athletics came against a team that ranks high in strikeout rate and chase rate. On the other side, predicting what this Yankees offense will do on a game-to-game basis is like playing roulette. That said, I like the matchup for Hendricks. Regression is coming for the veteran, but right now, he's quietly enjoying one of the best seasons of his career. The teams that start delivering those doses of regression for Hendricks will be ones filled with good hitting from top to bottom. His struggles are primarily missing too many bats and having an expected batting average that is way out of line from his actual numbers. The Yankees aren't that type of team. They rank dead last in BABIP and remain predicated on the long ball or random clutch power hit to win them games. That'll be hard to come by against a pitcher like Hendricks, who is in the Top 30% of any metric related to hard hitting. Grab the Under this afternoon. Each pitcher has a favorable matchup, and there's...

Prop bet #1: One good Turner Something just isn’t right with Sandy Alcantara. The Miami Marlins starter and reigning National League Cy Young winner has struggled in his follow-up campaign. Alcantara spent the majority of 2022 befuddling opposing hitters, pitching to a 2.90 expected ERA while limiting teams to a 2.15 expected ERA. But repeating that type of performance is tough. The Marlins right-hander owns a much more average 4.22 xERA and a .262 opponent xBA in 2023. The last four starts have been particularly rough, where Alcantara has a 5.55 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP. And he probably isn’t... Prop bet #1: One good Turner Something just isn’t right with Sandy Alcantara. The Miami Marlins starter and reigning National League Cy Young winner has struggled in his follow-up campaign. Alcantara spent the majority of 2022 befuddling opposing hitters, pitching to a 2.90 expected ERA while limiting teams to a 2.15 expected ERA. But repeating that type of performance is tough. The Marlins right-hander owns a much more average 4.22 xERA and a .262 opponent xBA in 2023. The last four starts have been particularly rough, where Alcantara has a 5.55 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP. And he probably isn’t looking forward to seeing the Philadelphia Phillies tonight. The Phillies rocked Alcantara back on April 10, tagging him for nine runs on 10 hits in just four innings of work. Several of Philly’s big bats have great career numbers vs. the Marlins’ starter, including Trea Turner. Despite it being his first season with the Phillies, Turner has faced off against Alcantara plenty thanks to his time with the Washington Nationals. Like Alcantara, 2023 likely hasn’t gone as planned for Turner with a .250 batting average, but he looks like he is finding his rhythm at the plate. Turner has collected hits in eight of his last 10 games, good for a .296 average with a .818 OPS over that span. That includes five multi-hit games and four extra-base hits. And like I said, he’s done very well in this matchup vs. Alcantara. He is 12-for-30 with two doubles and a homer. That's good for a .337 xBA and a .575 expected slugging percentage. It also includes a 3-for-4 performance in that April 10 meeting. Turner has gone Over 1.5 total bases five times in the last 10 games. At a +120 price tag, he’s a solid bet to go Over that number here tonight. Trea Turner prop : Over 1.5 total bases (+120) Prop bet #2: When it rains, it pours The best series in the final weekend before the MLB All-Star break will take place in Tampa Bay, where the American League-leading Rays will host the National League-leading Atlanta Braves. How’s that for schedule making? But it gets better. Former Ray Charlie Morton will take the ball against his old teammates in Game 1 of this series. However, Morton probably doesn’t love the matchup. For starters, Morton is having an inconsistent season for the Braves. The right-hander is pitching to a 4.67 expected ERA while surrendering a .255 expected batting average and a .425 expected slugging percentage to opponents. And all he has to do today is go against a Rays team that is third in OPS and leads the MLB in wRC+ vs. right-handed pitchers. Part of the reason for Morton’s inconsistency has been a lack of command. The right-hander currently has a 10% walk rate, which already ranks in the 27th percentile, but it’s been even worse lately. That walk rate bumps up to 11.6% over his last seven starts. Despite the struggles, Morton is still facing a lofty 24.7 batters per start over that stretch, which means the Braves are giving him a reasonable leash. And that gives us some value in his walks allowed market. While the number is a high 2.5, at an 11.6 walk rate vs. 24.7 batters works out to 2.87 walks. And with the Rays being a solid team at drawing free passes, ranking eighth in walk rate vs. righties, at +140 there is some value on the Over here. Morton has gone Over this number in five of his last seven starts. Charlie...

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are looking for their first win of the 2023 CFL season as they host the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday night. CFL betting odds for this Week 5 matchup opened with the Ticats as 3-point home favorites but have slimmed to -1.5. Will the Ticats finally get that elusive victory or is there another betting angle to consider? I let you know with my best free CFL picks and predictions for Redblacks vs. Tiger-Cats on July 8. Redblacks vs Tiger-Cats best odds Redblacks vs Tiger-Cats picks and predictions Hamilton Tiger-Cats wide receiver Tim White entered this season as the betting favorite to lead the league in receiving yards. While the team has been a complete disappointment, White has seen plenty of throws his way. He was targeted 10 times in Week 1 and while he reeled in just four of those throws he still put up 71 yards. White had a quiet five catches for 44 yards against Toronto's stingy defense in Week 2 but he was targeted often by Matthew Shiltz after the backup replaced the struggling Bo Levi Mitchell in the fourth quarter. Shiltz and White have tremendous chemistry which we saw last year when Shiltz started a pair of games and White went over 100 yards in both contests. That trend continued in Week 3 with the speedy wideout going off for 11 catches and 145 yards with Shiltz starting against the Alouettes. Shiltz threw a pair of costly interceptions in that contest but still passed for 345 yards and he did an effective job of throwing the ball last year when called upon. The Ottawa Redblacks are allowing the second-most yards per pass attempt (9.5) in the CFL which is especially concerning when you look at the quality of receivers they've played against. With three starters in Ottawa's secondary (Money Hunter, Sherrod Baltimore, and Cariel Brooks) sidelined by injuries and another (Brandin Dandridge) listed as questionable, expect White to have another sensational performance on Saturday. My best bet: Tim White Over 69.5 receiving yards (-114 at DraftKings) Redblacks vs Tiger-Cats same-game parlay Tim White Over 71.5 receiving yards Matthew Shiltz Over 229.5 passing yards Tiger-Cats -1.5 FanDuel has White's receiving yards number a tick higher but it does give you the option of playing that prop in a parlay which could prove very profitable. If White has a big game it's also very likely that Shiltz will go Over his passing yards total. Sure he might not throw the ball as much as in Week 3 since the Ticats fell behind early in that contest, but the O/U of 229.5 is still too low. Especially when you consider how productive he was in limited reps last year and how banged up Ottawa's secondary is. I'll add the Ticats on the small spread into this parlay as well. After all, while Jeremiah Masoli is an upgrade under center for the Redblacks he'll likely be rusty after missing almost a full year of action. Let's not forget that this Hamilton squad was talented enough to enter this year as East Division favorites. Their offense has actually made it into the red zone a league-high 14 times and if they are able to cash in on those opportunities they'll start winning games.
