Game Analysis

(#929) Houston Astros | ML | . 

Cristian Javier (1-2, 6.58 ERA) vs. Randy Vasquez (7-6, 4.19 ERA) . 

Once a star in this league, Cristian Javier has not had too great of a season. Nonetheless, he's back on the mound on Sunday, coming off a respectable outing against the Blue Jays. I do believe that he's still more than capable of putting together a dominant stretch and that could be coming with a strong performance here today. 

San Diego will turn to Randy Vasquez who hasn't been anything special either. Vasquez owns a troubling 3-4 record & a 4.91 ERA in home games this season, making this seem like a good spot for Houston to rebound. I had SD yesterday. Expect the 'Stros to take this one on Sunday. 

Burns' Prediction: 6-2 Astros.

Game Analysis

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SUNDAY, 8/9:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Sunday is with the Golden State Valkyries minus the points versus the Los Angeles Sparks. Golden State (22-9) has won three games in a row after their 94-76 upset victory at Dallas as a 1.5-point underdog on Friday. The Valkyries have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 8 games after a straight-up win on the road. They have also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 11 games on the road when favored. Los Angeles (12-18) has two of their last three games after an 89-82 upset win at Minnesota as 16.5-point underdog on Thursday. The Sparks return home where they have failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 14 games at home. They have also failed to cover the point spread in 10 of their last 12 home games with the Total set in the 160s. Take Golden State minus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Soccer | Santos Laguna vs Chicago Fire
Play on: Chicago Fire -175 at betonline
Game Analysis

MASSIVE WNBA WEST CONF. TOTAL OF THE YEAR HEADLINES along with MLB.TOP TOTAL TONIGHT Leagues Cup Soccer Comp play below. 

 The Sunday Comp play is on the Chicago Fire in Leagues Cup Soccer action at 8 eastern. Chicago comes off a solid home win over Necaxa 2-0 in a game that really could have been worse as they dictated play with Ball control and generated solid chances. Tonight they take on Santos Laguna who was a 2-0 loser to NYFC. Chicago has the best player on the field in Robert Lewandowski and he will likely put a ton of pressure on the Laguna back line. Laguna has last the last 4 and has scored once in the last 3 games overall. Look for Chicago to get the win here. GL Rob V-

WNBA | Valkyries vs Sparks
Play on: UNDER 170½ -121
Game Analysis

Our selection is on the Golden State Valkyries / Los Angeles Sparks game to finish UNDER the total on Sunday at 7:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Golden State is one of the top defensive teams in the WNBA, averaging the 12th most points a game while ranking 2nd in record.

The Valkyries have scored even less points on the road, averaging 82.5 points a game in these games.

Los Angeles is a higher scoring team. But, scoring won't be as easy as sometimes for it.

The Sparks managed to hold GSV to under 80 in the meeting earlier this season. But, they only scored 58 themselves.

The play is on the UNDER.
