ROB V: 100% AMERICAN LEAGUE GAME OF THE MONTH
Game: (911) Tampa Bay Rays at (912) Cleveland Indians
Date/Time: Jul 22 2021 7:10 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 4 units
Play: Tampa Bay Rays -128 L Patino (RHP), C Quantrill (RHP) Must Start
The American League Power System Play is on Tampa Bay. Game 911 at 7:10 eastern. The Rays are an incredible 16-0 the last few years as a road favorite off a home win. Cleveland is 0-4 as a home dog and 2-11 vs winning teams. This game also fits a powerful 14-1 system that plays on road favorites off a-200 or higher home favored win, vs an opponent like Cleveland that had 5 or more hits and were a road dog of +200 or higher. Tampa has won 13 of 16 in the series. Look for Tampa top take this one.
Rob V: EARLY Olympic Soccer 100% No Doubt Rout
Game: (225225) South Africa (Ol) at (225226) Japan (Ol)
Date/Time: Jul 22 2021 7:00 AM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 4 units
Play: Japan (Ol) -1.5 (-120)
The No doubt rout is on Japan at -1.5 goals at 7:30 am eastern. Rotation number 225526. Japan has far better quality . Japan will do well in group stage A and most of their players are solid and play in their national leagues. They played well in a 1-1 draw with Spain in a Freindly. South Africa has not had much success and has not even played a friendly to prepare. Most of their players are from their South African League and do not offer much quality. They are certainly overmatched in this group and with Japan wanting to get a win here ahead of some tougher games we look for Japan to coast in this fixture.
Rob V: EARLY TOP LEVEL TENNIS Swiss Open Terminator
Game: (8335) Mikael Ymer at (8336) Feliciano Lopez
Date/Time: Jul 22 2021 5:00 AM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 2 units
Play: Mikael Ymer -165
On Thursday the Tennis Play is on M. Ymer over Feliciano Lopez of Spain in the second round of the 2021 Gstaad Open. The 39 year old Lopez who was a finalist here in 2016 survived a scare in the first round against a Huesler who was ranked 162nd and had to forfeit with a toe injury in a match he could have won. Now Lopez has to battle 22 year old Ymer who has looked impressive this year in some of the Majors and who at 22 will run him around the court. Lopez has the experience having played here through the the years. However Ymer is playing better this year and should get the win here

Date/Time: Jul 22 2021 7:15 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 4 units
Play: St. Louis Cardinals -120 A Alzolay (RHP), K Kim (LHP) Must Start
St. Louis.
NL Central GOW.
Game 906.
4:15 pm pst.
St. Louis has taken two of the first three games of this series to give the team four wins over their last five outings. The Cardinals are sitting in third place in the NL Central, 7.5 GB of the division leader, the Brewers. And just 1.0 GB of the second place Reds. Chicago has dropped all the way into fourth place. History is repeating itself as the Cubs just can’t win on the road (19-32). Adbert Alzolay (4-9, 4.59) is 0-4 with a 5.84 ERA in five starts since returning from the IL. Over his career, the RH owns an 0-2 record in three starts vs. St. Louis. LH, Kwang Hyun Kim (5-5, 2.87) is 1-0 with a 0.93 ERA in two previous starts vs. Chicago. The Cubs are 3-12 L15 on the road, 2-9 L11 vs. LH starters, and 5-16 L21 overall. The Cardinals are 4-1 L5 at home, 4-1 L5 vs. RH starters, and 7-4 L11 overall. Take St. Louis. Thank you.

FEATURED PICK
OAKLAND @ SEATTLE | 07/22 | 10:10 PM EDT
SEATTLE +1.5
ANALYSIS: Should Seattle even be a home dog? Consider that starting pitcher Chris Flexen (9-3, 3.35) has a 1.77 ERA in his past seven starts overall and has a 1.76 ERA at T-Mobile Park, the third-best home ERA in the majors among qualified pitchers. The Mariners are 38-21 between Thursday and Sunday this season and way under .500 the other days. Yes, Oakland's Sean Manaea (6-6, 3.28) was brilliant in Seattle earlier this year, but he hasn't won since mid-June and has a 5.29 ERA this month. The Mariners are 7-1 in their last eight home games vs. a left-handed starter. We'll take the Seattle RL (-135) to be safe.

12:09 PM
L.A. ANGELS @ MINNESOTA | 07/22 | 8:10 PM EDT
MINNESOTA -140
ANALYSIS: Minnesota's Kenta Maeda is starting to pitch to 2020 form when he was the AL Cy Young runner-up as the right-hander is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA, .130 opponents' batting average and 25 strikeouts in three July starts. Just four of Maeda's 15 starts so far this season have come at home, and he has a 2.41 ERA at Target Field. On the flip side, Angels lefty Andrew Heaney has allowed 19 runs over 18.1 innings in his past four. Nelson Cruz destroys lefties and has three homers in 19 at-bats off Heaney. Minnesota is 6-0 in its past six as a home favorite.

N.Y. YANKEES @ BOSTON | 07/22 | 7:10 PM EDT
BOSTON -135
ANALYSIS: Getting a rather low number on Boston at home because oddsmakers aren't sure what to make of young pitcher Tanner Houck (0-3, 3.38) in just his eighth big-league appearance. In nine career innings against New York, the right-hander righty has allowed one unearned run on two hits while striking out seven. Yanks lefty Jordan Montgomery has a 5.32 road ERA and Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts kills him career (player prop hint). No Gary Sanchez tonight for the Bombers on top of Aaron Judge and Gio Urshela still on the COVID list.

CHI. CUBS @ ST. LOUIS | 07/22 | 7:15 PM EDT
ST. LOUIS -121
ANALYSIS: Two breaks for the Cardinals here: Kris Bryant, who destroys left-handed pitching, is out again (truly might be traded any minute now) for the Cubs, and stud closer Craig Kimbrel surely isn't available after pitching the past two games. St. Louis blew a ninth-inning lead Wednesday because closer Alex Reyes wasn't available but now should be. It's southpaw Kwang Hyun Kim for the Redbirds, and he brings in a career-best 21.0-inning scoreless streak, which is the longest active of any NL starter. Chicago's Adbert Alzolay is 1-6 with a 4.89 ERA on the road.

SAN DIEGO @ MIAMI | 07/22 | 7:10 PM EDT
SAN DIEGO -145
ANALYSIS: The Marlins have lost four of their last five and send Zach Thompson to the mound whom they are 2-4 behind this season. However, he’s been much better than that, allowing two earned runs or fewer in five of those starts. But I’m on the Padres because of Blake Snell. They’ve won three straight behind him. San Diego to win.

OAKLAND @ SEATTLE | 07/22 | 10:10 PM EDT
OAKLAND -140
ANALYSIS: I’ll pay the juice to back Oakland lefty Sean Manaea at Seattle's T-Mobile Park. In his last appearance there, he was the only pitcher the A’s needed as he threw a complete-game shutout. I would expect more of the same as some of Manaea’s recent struggles have come from the home run (five in the last three games), but the pitching environment in Seattle should help him out in that regard. Oakland is 40-22 when favored this year, and I think it grabs this win from the Mariners.

OVER 9.5
ANALYSIS: This line is on the move and has gone from Over 9 (-115) to 9.5 (-105) as of this writing, so I would advise you get it before it moves again. This appears to be the best hitting environment of Thursday by a good amount and clearly the market has taken notice already. The hitters look to have a high Visual Memory Index, and that means there should be a good deal of contact. Kenta Maeda has pitched well for the Twins this year but not deep into games. He’s yet to pitch into the seventh, so we should get a good look at the mediocre Twins bullpen. Angels starter Andrew Heaney has given up 20 runs in his last 23 innings on the road.

N.Y. YANKEES @ BOSTON | 07/22 | 7:10 PM EDT
BOSTON -140
ANALYSIS: Jordan Montgomery has actually been one of the Yankees best pitchers this season, although he is worse on the road going 1-2 with a 5.32 ERA. He has faced the Red Sox twice and allowed three runs in six innings in both games. Tanner Houck has made one appearance since being recalled and it was against the Yankees. He didn’t allow a run in three innings. The Red Sox just lost two of three in New York so you know they will want to hold serve at home. Take the Red Sox at home.
+270 6-2 IN LAST 8 MLB ML PICKS
5:43 PM
CHI. CUBS @ ST. LOUIS | 07/22 | 7:15 PM EDT
ST. LOUIS -125
ANALYSIS: Kwang-Hyun Kim hasn’t allowed a run in his last three starts spanning 19 innings. He hasn’t allowed more than one run in six of his last seven starts and he pitched six scoreless innings against the Cubs a couple weeks ago. Adbert Alzolay is 1-6 with a 4.89 ERA on the road and he has struggled with home runs and walks this year. Kris Bryant should be out of the lineup again and the Cubs best reliever in Craig Kimbrel has pitched the past two days. They won’t pitch him three days in a row right before they try to move him at the deadline and that’s big because these games are usually close, take the Cards at home.

5:42 PM
OAKLAND @ SEATTLE | 07/22 | 10:10 PM EDT
SEATTLE +130
ANALYSIS: I saw this line and immediately wanted to get my play in before it moves. The Mariners are much better at home this season going 29-20 and they are actually 25-25 against teams over .500. Chris Flexen has been much better at home and Sean Manaea has also been very good but the Mariners have been playing well against lefties recently despite their poor overall numbers. Take the Mariners at home.

ATLANTA @ PHILADELPHIA | 07/22 | 7:05 PM EDT
ATLANTA -135
ANALYSIS: Atlanta's Charlie Morton has a 2.61 ERA and 0.97 WHIP on the road this year. Look for Freddie Freeman (3 HR, 5 RBI in the last five games) and the Braves to get to lefty Matt Moore, who has not gone more than 4.1 innings in his last three starts.

OAKLAND @ SEATTLE | 07/22 | 10:10 PM EDT
OAKLAND -140
ANALYSIS: The Mariners played in Colorado on Wednesday, while the Athletics were resting. The last time he pitched in Seattle, on June 2, Oakland lefty Sean Maneaa tossed a complete-game shutout, striking out eight while scattering four hits. Look for the A's to improve to 11-2 in their last 13 games following an off day.
