Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take Honduras (+1.5) over Mexico (10 p.m., Saturday, July 24)

Mexico is a massive favorite in this matchup (they are -235 on the three-way line) but I think that Honduras can absolutely go toe-to-toe with El Tri here. Honduras lost 2-0 to Qatar on Tuesday thanks to a goal in the 94th minute. That extra late goal marked the first time in over two years that Honduras has lost a match by more than one goal. This team beat Costa Rica and played to 1-0 against the USA ‘A’ team last month in the Nations League. They also played Mexico to a 0-0 draw in a friendly just last month, as a tune-up for the Gold Cup. Mexico has struggled to find the net in this tournament. They struggled to put away El Salvador and were blanked by Trinidad and Tobago. I think they will find the net in this one but I see this game being a hotly contested one for the full 90 minutes. 

5-Unit Play: Take  929 TORONTO BLUE JAYS -1.5, RL over METS (7:10pm E, Saturday, July 24) TOR: Ryu. NYM: Walker

Toronto left their bats in the hotel room yesterday. That's highly unusual. Watch them come alive today, as RYU shuts down New York. Watch them, after yesterday, also get agressive on the base pads.

4-Unit Play: Take 925 WASHINGTON NATIONALS -1.5, RL, OVER ORIOLES (6:35pm E, Saturday, July 24) WAS: Scherzer. BAL: Harvey

Harvey used to be a good pitcher, but the key words in that statement are, ??used to be?? Not anymore and do we have to say anything about Scherzer? A relatively low scoring game, but Washington, with Soto will score enough runs to keep Scherzer in the game a long time.

4-Unit Play: Take 911 COLORADO ROCKIES OVER DODGERS (9:10pm E, Saturday, July 24) COL: Freeland. LAD: Gonsolin

The Rockies don't have much to play for but beating the Dodgers would thrill them. The Rockies can surprise, with Freeland on the hill and their bats surprisingly light up, now and then. We think this is one of those days and we LOVE the value.

6-Unit Play: Take 904 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -1.5, RL, over Atlanta (6:05pm E, Saturday, July 24) ATL: Smyly. PHI: Velasquez

The Phillies are a heck of a ball club and now that they're hitting, they're going to be a force to be reckoned with. When Velasquez is on, he's as good as anyone and this is one of our top plays of the day.
