This is a play on the B.C. LIONS for our CFL Friday Enforcer. B.C. opened the season with a bye and last week lost at reigning Grey Cup champions Saskatchewan by only four points, the second straight loss to the Roughriders after closing last season with a three-point loss in the playoffs. It was frustrating as the offense was great as expected with quarterback Nathan Rourke having a solid game and proving he is one of the best in the CFL. The defense was the issue as the Lions allowed 400 yards passing but expect that to shore up here. Hamilton bounced back with a convincing 37-27 victory over Winnipeg last week after losing their opener in overtime to Montreal. Their offense was likewise efficient but the defense also allowed 400 yards passing and they have a challenge here against Rourke especially with linebacker Wynton McManis still sidelined with a knee injury, and cornerback Jamal Peters out with a concussion sustained last week. Here, we play on underdogs or pickems off a loss against a division rival going up against an opponent off an upset win as a road underdog. This situation is 69-33 ATS (67.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (701) B.C. Lions

This is a play on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS as part of our MLB Friday Triple Play. Tampa Bay is coming off a frustrating sweep at the Dodgers with all three losses coming by one run and while we had the Rays in the final two games, we did so because of value which is no longer the case as they head home. After an incredible run that went through the first week of May to go 25-12, the Rays have come back down to earth with a 16-18 record over their last 34 games. Griffin Jax has not allowed a run over his last two starts and he has been great since entering the rotation after 11 relief appearances as he has a 2.57 ERA in nine starts but is pitching to a 4.47 xERA and overall he has struggled at home with a 4.86 ERA. Washington is coming off an off day after having a four-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday to conclude a 4-2 homestand and the Nationals hit the road where they are 23-14. Cade Cavalli has allowed three runs or less in 13 of 15 starts including 10 of his last 11 where he has posted a 3.81 ERA. 10* (969) Washington Nationals 

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS as part of our MLB Friday Triple Play. The Angels were shut out last night 5-0 to open this series and they have lost four of their last five games with only seven runs scored in those four losses. They have not been great on the road but are just 4.5 games worse than what the Athletics are at home and this is a great buy low spot. Jose Soriano was originally supposed to start Thursday's series opener before he was scratched to get an extra day off after he was struck by a comebacker in his last start Saturday. He got off to one of the best starts of any pitcher in April but has regressed with a 4.74 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in his last nine starts but he did toss five scoreless against the Rays on Saturday. The Athletics snapped a two-game skid with the win last night and are just 17-21 at home and are overpriced with Jeffrey Springs. We were high on this guy early on and he was lights out but he has gone the wrong way as he has a 6.79 ERA over his last 11 outings with the Athletics going 2-9. 10* (961) Los Angeles Angels

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES as part of our MLB Friday Triple Play. This is the ultimate contrarian play in a few ways with the first reason obviously going against the hottest starting pitcher in baseball. This number opened much lower but was hit hard Thursday night which has created additional value on the Braves which have lost three straight and six of seven games and the postponement yesterday was a good thing. They remain home where they are 22-13 and they send Martin Perez to the hill who got an extra day with the rainout and he has been a welcome addition to this rotation as he has a 2.90 ERA and 1.05 WHIP overall and has been lights out at home with a 1.67 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 27 innings. Jacob Misiorowski is coming off a dominant complete game shutout while striking out 15 and he has now gone three straight starts without allowing a run. He has gone 29.1 consecutive scoreless innings on the road and with the popular play being the Brewers moneyline, we go exact opposite. 10* (954) Atlanta Braves
