Las Vegas Aces vs Chicago Sky
Las Vegas Aces -6.5 (-107) (DraftKings)
The defending champions are increasingly looking like the league’s strongest team. They recently defeated New York, one of the East’s top squads, and before that routed Portland by 15.

The defending champions are increasingly looking like the league’s strongest team. They recently defeated New York, one of the East’s top squads, and before that routed Portland by 15. The Sky’s most recent win came against Connecticut, the East’s worst team. Aside from a couple of solid victories over Minnesota and Golden State back in May, Chicago has mostly beaten weaker opponents. The Aces have taken the last seven head-to-head matchups, with the past four decided by at least eight points. They’re also 11-3 on the road and look poised to keep rolling with a blowout of the Sky on Saturday. Lay the pointsWNBA - Point Spread - Sat, Aug 01 @ 03:00 PM
New York Liberty vs Phoenix Mercury
New York Liberty -2.5 (-110) (Consensus Line)
Both teams are 3-1 in their last 4 games but the Mercury’s wins are not as impressive since 2 of those 3 wins were against Los Angeles & Connecticut. The Liberty overall are the better team & they will prove it on Saturday.

At 7:10 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Texas Rangers over the Houston Astros. The latest battle for bragging rights in the Lone Star State is occurring this weekend with the Astros taking round one on Friday night. Both of these mediocre teams will have a decision to make in the coming days as the trade deadline approaches. And that decision is whether to be a buyer or seller. For tonight, the Rangers will turn to 38-year-old Jacob deGrom in Game 2 here in Houston. deGrom is having another solid, if not spectacular season for Texas, with a 7-6 record and 3.67 ERA in 20 starts covering just over 110 innings. The veteran righthander has faced the Astros six previous times in his career and three of those starts have been here at Daikin Park (formerly Minute Maid). deGrom has already faced the Astros twice this season, and in his last one on May 26, he held them to two runs on four hits in six innings with six strikeouts and one walk. Take the Rangers. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.MLB - Over / Under - Sat, Aug 01 @ 07:15 PM
Arizona Diamondbacks (Kohl Drake) vs Cleveland Guardians (Parker Messick)
Arizona Diamondbacks vs Cleveland Guardians Over 8 (-120) (BetOnline)
My selection is on the 'over' between Arizona and Cleveland at 7:15 pm et on Saturday. We saw a low-scoring Diamondbacks victory to open this series last night. The knee-jerk reaction from most bettors will probably be to back the 'under' again with the Guardians handing the ball to their emergi...
My selection is on the 'over' between Arizona and Cleveland at 7:15 pm et on Saturday. We saw a low-scoring Diamondbacks victory to open this series last night. The knee-jerk reaction from most bettors will probably be to back the 'under' again with the Guardians handing the ball to their emerging ace Parker Messick. We'll go the other way, however, as I believe this total will prove too low. The D'Backs have a right-handed heavy lineup that can give opposing lefties trouble. Meanwhile, the Guardians will look to bounce back in a game that will be dictated by the performance of an inconsistent D'Backs bullpen with rookie Kohl Drake getting the start and likely working on a short leash. A 5-4 result either way is well within the realm of possibility here. Take the over (8*).SOCCER - Moneyline - Sat, Aug 01 @ 08:30 PM

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take #209909 San Diego over Minnesota (8:30 p.m. EST, Saturday August 1) We hit a +200 underdog on Orlando in MLS with our free soccer pick last week, and let’s do it again this week. Both sides have struggled this season, but San Diego looks like they are turning their season around and they have a chance to jump Minnesota in the standings with three points here. We think San Diego is the better side, and they should be motivated here. They won their lone visit to Minnesota, 4-2, in their short franchise history. We think they can do it again. They are coming off a 1-0 home win over Dallas. In their inaugural season last year they played well on the road at this point of the season and cashed many plus-money tickets in similar situations. Minnesota is on a six-match winless streak, and they have won just one of their last nine. They have five outright losses during that span. They have just three goals in their last five matches, while San Diego has 11 in the same span. San Diego will be aggressive here and we don’t think the Minnesota offense can match them. Great value here, and the road side has a great chance to steal three points for a massive payout.Get Free Picks, Big Game alerts, and Winning Info from our champion handicappers.
