This is a play on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS for our Saturday Free Play. Toronto needed something positive heading into the break after three straight losses where it scored just one run total and so far, that has happened as it has won three straight games with the offense putting up 24 runs with the pitching allowing just six runs. The Blue Jays have gotten it back to three games under .500 on the road with three of those given up by Shane Bieber last night in a must needed positive start for him. Trey Yesavage has put together four straight strong outings after a pair of bad starts to open June. The recent four starts have been good for a 2.45 ERA and he remains on the road where he has been excellent with a 2.36 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in six starts. The Padres continue their slide as they are back to two games under .500 with one of the worst offenses in baseball. Walker Buehler was one of the positives this season but he has been lit up over his last two starts, allowing 16 runs over nine innings. Play (979) Toronto Blue Jays

Fargo is coming off a disgusting 0-4 Friday including 0-3 in baseball and while bad days happen, he vows to get it back and add to the great start to the MLB season. THREE Winners Saturday plus CFL Game of the Week!

This is a play on the HOUSTON ASTROS for our MLB Big League Baller. The Rangers have won two straight games following a 7-3 win last night and they have leapfrogged the Mariners in the American League West to take a game and a half lead while now sitting just two games over .500 at home. Kumar Rocker had a strong start to the season as he posted a 3.38 ERA in five April starts but he has been inconsistent since then with a 4.53 ERA. Overall, he has made 15 starts with another two games coming in as a bulk reliever and those two games were his two highest strikeout games of the season with both of those coming on the road. In 10 true home starts, he has a 4.20 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 49.1 innings. Houston is just three games back and turn to Peter Lambert who has resurrected his career after a dismal time in Colorado (7.01 ERA at Coors) as he has a 3.26 ERA in 14 starts that includes a 3.08 ERA on the road. 10* (967) Houston Astros

This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS as part of our MLB Afternoon Double Play. Miami had its six-game winning streak snapped with a 3-2 loss last night and remains three games behind the Braves in the National League East. They are a half-game behind the Cubs for the top Wild Card spot in the National League and despite what looks like a good bounce back spot, the Marlins are paying the price and actually in a sell high spot with Eury Perez on the hill. He will be very popular today as he is coming off tossing seven perfect innings in his last start before getting pulled and he has a 0.99 ERA in his last five starts. The Guardians have won two straight games to remain tied with the White Sox for first place in the American League Central. Tanner Bibee is coming off a rough start against those same White Sox which was his third bad start this season of allowing six runs or more and take those out and he has a 2.57 ERA in his other 16 outings. 10* (975) Cleveland Guardians

This is a play on the SEATTLE MARINERS as part of our MLB Afternoon Double Play. Seattle has lost four straight games after losing the series opener last night which followed a sweep at Miami. The Mariners are now a game and a half behind the Rangers in the American League West and now holding down the third Wild Card spot, involved in a logjam of five teams within a game and a half of that third spot. Logan Gilbert pitched a gem last time out as he limited the Blue Jays to one hit and no walks in 7.1 shutout innings. After opening 1-4 in his first five starts, the Mariners are 10-3 in his last 13 outings including just one loss since mid-May. He has significant home/road splits as he has posted a 4.11 ERA at home in 10 outings compared to a 1.73 ERA in seven road starts. Griffin Jax continues to have a solid season in his first as a full time starter as he has a 2.89 ERA in 13 starts since entering the rotation but he is pitching to a 4.87 xERA. 10* (965) Seattle Mariners

This is a play on the MONTREAL ALOUETTES for our CFL Game of the Week. Here we have two teams on opposite streaks pertaining to their ATS runs and there is value going against those this week. We start with Calgary where its ATS run correlated with its straight up run as the Stampeders opened the season with a pair of home losses against Winnipeg and Saskatchewan by five points combined and they failed to cover those by a total of two points. Calgary responded with a pair of easy wins over B.C. and Toronto and those have already brought the number down. The offense is ranked No. 1 in scoring but they possess the No. 7 ranked passing offense and No. 6 ranked total offense. Montreal is 3-1 to start the season but has failed to cover its last two games, losing at Edmonton and then narrowly escaping Ottawa. The weakness of this team has been the passing defense but that is not an issue here. From an intangible standpoint, this is the first trip out east for Calgary and it has to face the Alouettes off a bye. 10* (676) Montreal Alouettes
