EXPERT VERDICT: Arsenal and Chelsea meet for the fourth time since February with the Blues holding a 2-1 edge thus far – and Antonio Conte’s men look set to make that read 3-1 at Wembley. Both teams are missing key men through but champions Chelsea look the more settled unit with Arsene Wenger chopping and changing his side in pre-season.
RECOMMENDATION: Chelsea

EXPERT VERDICT: Lille limped to a mid-table finish last term but with Marcelo Bielsa at the helm better things are expected and they can get their season off to the perfect start with victory over Nantes. Bielsa has spent in excess of £50m this summer on improving his squad and his talented bunch should prove too classy for the visitors, who were beaten 3-0 at Lille on the final day of last season.
RECOMMENDATION: Lille

EXPERT VERDICT: Angers picked up four points from their two league meetings with Bordeaux last season and they should give another good account of themselves at the Stade Raymond Kopa. The hosts are improving under Stephane Moulin - they have lost just three home league matches this calendar year - and Bordeaux may struggle to breakdown their stubborn defence.

EXPERT VERDICT: Marseille turned the Velodrome into a fortress last term, losing just two home league games all season, and they can start their 2017-18 campaign on the front foot by beating Dijon. Only second-placed PSG conceded fewer home goals than Marseille last season and, bolstered by the defensively-minded summer signings of experienced trio Steve Mandanda, Adil Rami and Luis Gustavo, they can get the job done with a clean sheet to boot.
RECOMMENDATION: Marseille to win 2-0

MLB | STL vs CIN
Play on: UNDER 9½ -120
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach 1st of 2 Free Picks for Sunday MLB goes Early: UNDER the total in Cincinnati Reds vs St Louis Cardinals @ 1:10 ET - With yesterday's 4-1 win, the Cardinals kept their under streak intact as they have gone 9 straight games with an over! During this stretch the Cards have seen their total push twice with the under going 7-0 in the other 7 games. Look for more of the same Sunday as Adam Wainwright gets the start and St Louis did the right thing by letting his back heal up. He is ready to go now and seeking revenge for a rare poor start versus the Reds earlier this season. Keep in mind, Wainwright is 5-1 with a 3.35 ERA in day games this season and he should enjoy success against a struggling Reds team that has averaged just 2.3 runs per game in their last 8 losses. Cincinnati will have Homer Bailey on the mound for this one. Though his full season numbers look bad, Bailey actually has been pitching better and has held opponents to 2 earned runs or less in 4 of his last 6 starts! That includes a quality start in his most recent home outing so don't be fooled by his full-season numbers at Great American Ball Park. He is pitching much better now than he was earlier this season. The under is 11-3 in the Cardinals last 14 games against teams with a losing record. The under is 8-4 in the Reds last 12 games against teams with a losing record. Look for more of the same in this one. 1st of 2 Free Picks Sunday is UNDER the total in Cincinnati in early afternoon action. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

Play on: UNDER 7½ -105
10* FREE MLB PICK (Rays/Brewers UNDER 7.5)
I cashed in on the UNDER 8.5 yesterday with my Interleague Total of the Year and I'm firing right back on the under Sunday, even though it's a full run less. These two teams hace combined for 5 runs in the first two games of this series with Milwaukee accounting for all 5 runs. The Brewers have scored 3 or less runs in 8 of their last 9 games and Tampa Bay is swinging with little to no confidence after getting shutout in back-to-back games. All that and we have another great pitching matchup with Jimmy Nelson against Chris Archer. Give me the UNDER 7.5!

MLB | Brewers vs Rays
Play on: Rays -135 at BMaker
I'm recommending a play on the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday with Nelson & Archer on the mound. Struggling on the road bump has been modus operandi for Jimmy Nelson since the start of the 2015 season and this season has been no different. Nelson has especially struggled of late on the road, allowing 19 earned runs in his last 34 1/3 IP with a 1.56 HR's per 9 IP ratio. Today, he faces a Rays' offense that has struggled the last couple days, no doubt about it, but has averaged over 5 rpg in home day games against righthanders on the season. Milwaukee has not hit righties well on the road (3.6 rpg) and will have to face Chris Archer. The Tampa righty is at his best at home and in day action and pitched a gem in his last home start two weeks ago. We expect to have the pitching and offensive advantage in this one and we're recommending a play on the Rays on Sunday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

MLB | Seattle Mariners - Game #1 vs Kansas City Royals - Game #1
Play on: Kansas City Royals - Game #1 -149 at betonline
Dave's Sunday Bonus Play:
1* on Kansas City Royals -149 (Game 1)
The Key: The Kansas City Royals have lost 4 of their last 5 and will be hungry for a victory here Sunday against the Seattle Mariners as they continue to try and chase down the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central. Their most talented starter is Danny Duffy, and he gets the ball today. Duffy is 7-6 with a 3.42 ERA in 17 starts this year, including 3-3 with a 2.93 ERA in 7 home starts. He has given up just 2 earned runs in 13 1/3 innings over his last 2 starts on the road against the Orioles and Tigers. Duffy is 1-1 with a 2.39 ERA in 5 lifetime starts vs. Seattle, and the Royals have gone 4-1 in those games. The Royals are 9-1 in their last 10 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Marco Gonzales will be making just his 2nd start of the season for the Mariners after giving up 5 runs and 3 homers in 3 1/3 innings of a 5-8 loss to the Brewers on June 13th. Duffy is 24-8 (+14.2 Units) against the money line at home with a money line of -100 to -150 lifetime. Take Kansas City.

Play on: Twins -138 at betonline
1 Unit Bonus Play on Minnesota Twins -138
The Minnesota Twins have the superior starter going today in Jose Berrios. The young right-hander has gone 9-5 with a 3.57 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 15 starts this year, and 5-1 with a 2.61 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in six home starts. He is certainly one of the cornerstones of the franchise moving forward. Nick Martinez is 3-4 with a 5.35 ERA in 12 starts this year, 2-3 with a 5.57 ERA in six road starts and 2-1 with a 6.48 ERA in his last three starts. He just returned to the rotation on August 1st and promptly allowed 7 earned runs in 5 1/3 innings to the Mariners. Martinez is 0-1 with a 6.06 ERA and 1.96 WHIP in three previous starts against the Twins.

This game features the 54-56 Cardinals at the 45-65 Reds. Last night we lost with a big play on the Reds today we are going to go small on them there is so much public action on the Cardinals here today about 81% of bets have gone on the Cardinals yet this line is creeping the other way suggesting the sharp cash is backing the Reds again today. Cardinals offense has been struggling and I am not sold Wainwright is 100%. Homer Bailey can not look any worse this line just seems way off to me. Take the Reds and the plus money for a 15* winner.

Play on: Angels -119 at betonline
I like the value here with the Angels at home in Sunday's series finale against the A's. LA had won 4 straight prior to losing 0-5 in Skaggs return from the DL on Saturday. I look for the Angels to bounce back and take the rubber match here.
Oakland is sending out Sean Manaea, who gets some love from the books due to a 3.88 ERA and 1.284 WHIP in 20 starts, but he's been struggling of late and owns a 5.17 ERA and 1.787 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Manaea is also 0-2 with a 5.22 ERA in 4 career (all losses) starts against the Angels. LA counters with Ricky Nolasco, who is coming off two strong starts and owns a 3.26 ERA and 0.980 WHIP in 10 career starts against the A's.
Oakland is a mere 14-30 after 2 or more consecutive road games, 9-20 in their last 29 on the road with a money line of +125 to -125 and 0-10 in their last 10 after shutting out a division opponent in their previous game. Take Los Angeles!

Play on: Blue Jays +106 at BMaker
The Toronto Blue Jays should not be underdogs to the Houston Astros today. Injuries have undone the Astros, which is why they are just 2-6 in their last eight games overall. They have key injuries in their lineup, their rotation and their bullpen right now.
The Blue Jays have the edge on the mound this afternoon behind Marcus Stroman, who is 10-5 with a 3.19 ERA and 1.294 WHIP in 22 starts this season. Stroman is 2-1 with a 3.09 ERA and 1.114 WHIP in four career starts against the Astros. He has allowed just 3 earned runs and 18 base runners with 27 K's in 20 1/3 innings in his last three starts against them.
Mike Fiers is 7-6 with a 4.04 ERA and 1.305 WHIP in 21 starts for the Astros. He has struggled in losing his last two starts against the Rays and Phillies, giving up 9 earned runs, 3 homers and 19 base runners in 10 1/3 innings for a 7.84 ERA. Fiers is 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA in his last three starts against Toronto. Bet the Blue Jays Sunday.

MLB | ARI vs SFO
Play on: OVER 8½ -120
Considering the recent form displayed by these two starting pitchers, it would appear to us that this number is just a little low.
Patrick Corbin: He’s 8-10 with a 4.77 ERA. Corbin most recently was shelled for eight runs off ten hits over three innings in 16-4 loss to the Cubs on Tuesday. He’d looked decent over a three-start stretch previous to that, but took a giant step back again with this dud (note that he’s a horrible 2-7 with a 7.06 ERA on the road this year as well.)
Jeff Samardzija: He’s 6-11 with a 4.77 ERA. Samardzija went eight frames against Oakland on Tuesday and gave up four runs off six hits in the eventual 10-4 victory. “The Shark” has been all over the map as far as his game-to-game consistency has been concerned and he’s been particularly pedestrian at home this season by going a poor 3-5 with a 4.35 ERA.
The bottom line: Neither starter has shown any signs of turning things around and we’re not expecting anything to change here either. Consider the OVER.

Play on: Diamondbacks +114 at GTBets
Arizona had its three-game winning streak snapped last night with a 5-4 loss to the Giants and it fell a half-game behind the Rockies for first place in the National League Wild Card standings. The Diamondbacks remain one of the more dominating teams in the league however as their +117-run differential is third best in all of baseball behind the Dodgers and Astros as their 18 one-run losses are fourth most in the league. Arizona is now 10-2 over its last 12 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. San Francisco scored more than four runs for just the fifth time in 13 games as the offense has not been able to sustain anything. The Giants are hitting just .246 on the season while their 447 runs are third fewest in baseball, a full 104 runs fewer than Arizona. Putting together winning streaks has been a real problem for San Francisco as the Giants are just 14-28 this season following a win including a 2-7 run over their last nine games. Patrick Corbin takes the hill for Arizona hoping to shake off a bad performance in Chicago against the Cubs where he allowed seven runs in just three innings. That snapped a streak of nine straight starts where he allowed three runs or less so visiting the Giants is a perfect cure for a bounce back. San Francisco hands the ball to Jeff Samardzija who has tossed two straight quality outings after a stretch of three straight non-quality performances. He has been inconsistent all season and the Diamondbacks have torched right-handed pitching this season and have won 51 of 85 games against righty starters. Play (913) Arizona Diamondbacks
