This is a play on the CHICAGO SKY for our WNBA Sunday Terminator. Los Angeles possesses the best record in the WNBA based on percentages, so it is naturally a big road favorite in the game today against what is considered one of the worst teams in the league. The Sparks are coming off a road win over Washington on Friday to make it three straight wins, but they are overpriced based on a recent matchup. This play sets up very similar to the Indiana play from last night based on the revenge factor and the enormous line vale based on venue change. Chicago was getting 13.5 points on the road and a venue shift should make it roughly a six-point swing and that is not the case here as we are seeing just a 3.5-point swing based on the opening line which is the same as Saturday with the Fever. The Sky are 3-6 on the season and are coming off three straight double-digit losses which all came on the road and they have been much better at home where they sit at 2-2. They have been off since Tuesday and going back, the Sky are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games playing on three or more days rest. Additionally, we play on underdogs that are getting outscored by their opponents by six or more ppg, after a combined score of 165 points or more. This situation is 46-15 ATS (75.4 percent) over the last 5 seasons. 10* (316) Chicago Sky

This is a play on the BALTIMORE ORIOLES as part of our MLB Sunday Triple play. Baltimore remains the worst team in baseball as it is 19-50 following its ninth straight loss on Saturday which also put the record at 2-16 over its last 18 games. We played on the Orioles Friday in a game where they were favored by a significant amount despite the struggles and today, the number is higher for good reason. The Marlins are 5-1 over their last six games but they are going nowhere either and going back, they are 5-17 in their last 22games after scoring five runs or more in their previous game. The Orioles offense has been in a major funk as they have now been held to four or fewer in 18 of the past 19 games but have a chance to break out of that today against Trevor Richards who has tossed two straight quality outings at home but has yet to record one in five road starts where he has a 5.71 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over 17.1 innings. Dylan Bundy had a three game stretch over a month ago where he allowed 19 runs in nine innings over three starts but he has recovered well as he has posted a 2.09 ERA over his last six starts and on the season, he has allowed three runs or less in 10 of 14 outings. 8* (926) Baltimore Orioles

This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX as part of our MLB Sunday Triple play. Detroit came into the season with slim chances of competing for a divisional crown and nearly halfway through the schedule, the Tigers are just 2.5 games out of first place following their fourth straight win coupled by the Indians having dropped two straight games against the Twins. Detroit is still two games under .500 so it has been a matter of a mediocre division rather than playing like a contender. The White Sox are 2-4 on this current homestand and their 12 wins at home matches the number of road wins for the Tigers yet they are close to a pickem at home. James Shields is having a very good season despite only two wins and a 4.63 ERA. His WHIP of 1.23 tells a different story as he has been consistently good of late with the exception of two bad starts against Houston and Minnesota. The Tigers turn to Blaine Hardy who is off to a successful rookie season with a 3.55 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in seven starts. The problem is that his ERA is more than two runs higher on the road than it is at home and the White Sox have the advantage of facing him for a second time. 9* (918) Chicago White Sox

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS CARDINALS as part of our MLB Sunday Triple play. We lost with the Cardinals last night as they allowed three runs in the eighth and ninth innings to drop their fourth straight game. The Cubs have scored 19 runs over the last two games after consecutive shutouts and they come in as favorites yet again despite a starting pitching disadvantage. Jose Quintana has been good, but far from the dominating pitcher many expected as he has a 4.09 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 13 starts. While he has been better on the road, he has struggled during the day with a 5.79 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in seven games. Jack Flaherty has taken advantage of landing in the rotation because of the Alex Reyes injury as he has posted a 2.96 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in eight starts. He has allowed three runs or less in seven of those and he is part of a successful situation where we play on National League teams when the moneyline is +125 to -125 that are hitting .250 or worse with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.00 or better on the season going up against a starting pitcher whose ERA is between 3.70 and 4.20. This situation is 91-45 (66.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (908) St. Louis Cardinals
