YESTERDAY'S PLAYS
Matchup Selection W/L
MLB  |  Jul 05, 2025
Red Sox vs Nationals
Red Sox
-103 at betonline
Won
$100
Play Type: Free

The Red Sox are 44-45 compared to the Nationals' 37-51 record. Boston is swinging hot bats averaging 8.5 runs in winning four of its last six games. Washington is allowing an average of 7.7 runs in its last seven games.

Yet the Nationals are slight favorites here mainly because Walker Buehler is starting for Boston.

Buehler has yet to overcome past serious arm injuries. He's struggling again this season with a 6.45 ERA. However, Nationals starter, lefty Mitchell Parker, isn't exactly Sandy Koufax. Parker has a 4.63 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. Parker has allowed 13 earned runs in his past four starts spanning 20 1/3 innings.

The Red Sox are No. 2 in the majors in batting average against southpaws at .269. They also rank fourth in OPS and fifth in slugging percentage versus lefties.

Boston's bullpen also is considerably superior to the Nationals' relievers. The Red Sox rank eighth in bullpen ERA at 3.62 while Washington is last in bullpen ERA at a scary 5.91.

(Editor's note: Stephen Nover has three premium plays today in addition to this free selection headed by his Canadian Football League Game of the Week. Stephen is 35-16-1 on his last 52 CFL plays. Stephen's premium plays are available for individual purchase, or in a discounted Multi-Sports Package. Stephen has turned a profit on 75 percent of his last 21 Multi-Sports Packages going 15-5-1.)

Matchup Selection W/L
MLB  |  Jul 05, 2025
Astros vs Dodgers
Dodgers
-137 at circa
Lost
$137.0
Play Type: Premium
Nothing against Framber Valdez, who has been pitching great. But I want the Dodgers going for me today after they suffered the largest defeat in Dodger Stadium history last night losing to the Astros, 18-1.

The Dodgers had won nine of their last 10 games before that stinging defeat. LA is 6-0 the past six times following a loss with its average winning margin in those games being four runs.

Shohei Ohtani will be making his fourth start since returning to pitching after undergoing UCL surgery. He's allowed one earned run in four innings this season. His pitch count is gradually going up.

Valdez is facing a Dodgers attack that is the best in baseball ranking first or second in runs, batting average, homers and OPS among the major categories.
Matchup Selection W/L
WNBA  |  Jul 05, 2025
Sparks vs Fever
OVER 163½ -108 Won
$100
Play Type: Top Premium

The Sparks have star power led by Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby. Despite those two and other good scorers, Los Angeles has the second-worst record in the WNBA at 5-13. The major reasons for that are bad defense and lack of rebounding.

Indiana can take advantage of that even missing Caitlin Clark for another game. Kelsey Mitchell is averaging 22 points in the last five games. The Fever can exploit the Sparks on the boards, too, with All-Star center Aliyah Boston and veteran forward Natasha Howard.

The Fever shouldn't have any letdown following a 27-point home win against the Aces from Thursday. That's because the Sparks defeated them as six-point road 'dogs, 85-75, on June 26. Indiana shot just 37 percent from the floor and made only 7 of 28 3-pointers.

The Sparks have surrendered 85 or more points in 10 of their last 13 games. Los Angeles, though, has scored 85 or more points in three of its last four games.

Matchup Selection W/L
CFL  |  Jul 05, 2025
BC vs Montreal
Montreal
-150 at circa
Lost
$150.0
Play Type: Top Premium

The marketplace has reacted to the quarterback information in this matchup by betting against Montreal. Makes sense. BC gets its best QB, Nathan Rourke, back while the Alouettes won't have their starting QB, Davis Alexander, due to a hamstring injury. Rourke had missed the Lions' last two games.

Montreal suffered its first loss in four games without Alexander last week, losing to Hamilton, 35-17, on the road. Sure I'd rather have Alexander than McLeod Bethel-Thompson. But Bethel-Thompson should play better this week. The reduction in points is worth it since the Alouttes are home off a loss and have the superior defense.

BC has dropped three in a row since an opening week win against winless Edmonton.

It's Montreal's first home game since opening week. BC has lost four consecutive road games dating back to last season.

Sky vs Lynx
Sky
+15½ -110 at circa
Play Type: Top Premium
The Lynx are a team I normally won't go against. This is one of those rare exceptions. Minnesota is playing for the fourth time in six days and on consecutive days. This kind of scheduling doesn't happen often in the WNBA.

Minnesota just took care of the Valkyries, 82-71, at home on Saturday night. Golden State was leading midway through the third quarter so the game proved more difficult for the Lynx than the final score may indicate.

Note, too, that superstar Napheesa Collier and Bridget Carleton each logged 35 minutes.

The key is can the Sky be trusted?

Chicago has shown signs it can be. The Sky have covered each of their last four games. They last played a week ago. So they have a huge rest advantage and ample practice time working on their point guard situation after losing starter Courtney Vandersloot for the season with a torn ACL.
