Monday Has Early Wimbledon Plays for Monday and Tuesday along with a TOP World Cup Total and MLB. Comp Play below

The Monday World Cup Comp play is on Brazil at 1 eastern in the round of 32 Knockout Stage. Brazil takes on a solid Japan team that beat them back in October. Brazil has their 2nd string defense on that day and will be at full capacity here in this game as they look to turn the table on a Japan team that has lost in this round the last 4 times in this round. Japan uses a deep block on defense and relies on Counter attacks to generate offense. Brazil bounced back off a 1-1 tie with Morocco in the opener and easily posed clean sheet wins over Haiti and Scotland. Brazil have won 5 of the last 6 and are getting hot at the right time. In the head to head series since 2003 they have won 7 with 2 draws and just the one loss in the friendly against Japan. Look for Brazil to Advance  GL Rob V-

My selection is on Cincinnati over Milwaukee at 7:40 pm et on Monday.

The Reds have shown promise the plate lately, entering Monday's action ranked in the top half of the majors in xwOBA over the last week and sixth in wOBA against left-handed pitching this season. They'll take on an up-and-down lefty in Robert Gasser on Monday. Gasser owns a FIP north of five this season, similar to his counterpart on Monday, Nick Lodolo. Neither starter instills a lot of confidence but we're catching a very generous price with the underdog Reds given the fact the Brewers are on a bit of a down-turn right now. While Milwaukee's bullpen has been among the best in baseball at times this season, that certainly hasn't been the case lately. The Brewers 'pen has logged a 5.87 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over the last week. Not only that but four of the seven relievers at Milwaukee's disposal have thrown 30+ pitches and appeared at least twice over the last three days. Take Cincinnati (8*).

Ricky's 1* play on Under.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The Under is 3-1 in Morocco last 4 games.

- Morocco has conceded only 4 goals in their last 7 games.

- The Under is 6-4 in Netherlands last 10 games.

Verdict: Goals should be hard to come by in this game.

This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER Dodgers/A's.

Eric Lauer is 3-5 with a 4.87 ERA for the Dodgers, while Gage Jump is 3-1 with a 2.04 ERA for the A's. 

Lauer is 2-0 with a 2.54 ERA in five appearances for the Dodgers since he came over from the Jays last month. He's 1-0 with a 1.59 ERA in two career starts vs. the A's.

Jump is making his seventh career start as he enters 3-1 with a 2.04 ERA after striking out nine over five scoreless in an unfortunate no-decision vs. the Giants last week.

Look for a classic "duel" between these starters and consider the UNDER in what I think is a great situational play.

Good luck, NP

This is a play on the ATHLETICS for our Monday Free Play. The Dodgers come in as slight road favorites following a 5-1 start to this nine-game roadtrip and the win on Sunday got them on the plus side of the money for the season despite being 24 games over .500. They have picked up their play on the road and open this series at the bottom of the rotation with Eric Lauer. He followed an opener in his last game and he was literally unhittable as he went six innings against the Twins and did not allow a hit and recorded the win in the 2-1 victory. He still has a 4.87 ERA in 13 games between Toronto and Los Angeles. The Athletics are back home following a 2-4 roadtrip and while they have not been great at home, they have found a great arm in Gage Jump. He opened his rookie season by allowing four runs against the Mariners but in five starts since then, he has a 1.19 ERA across 30.1 innings. Play (976) Athletics

Matt is coming off a profitable 1-1 baseball Sunday with the Winner on the +120 Royals and enters the week on a 3-1 baseball run. TWO Monday Winners including Interleague GOM to add to his very profitable MLB season.

At first glance, a total of 10.5 looks inflated considering Eric Lauer has pitched well since joining the Dodgers and rookie Gage Jump owns an outstanding 2.04 ERA. That's precisely why this becomes a strong situational OVER. Rather than fading the oddsmakers for posting such a high number, we use their knowledge to our advantage. When the total is significantly higher than the season averages of both teams and both starting pitchers, the market has historically been pointing bettors in the right direction, producing OVER winners at a 56 percent clip across more than 3,000 games. Add in the enhanced angle involving runners stranded in the previous game, and that record improves to an outstanding 554-331, cashing at 62.6 percent.

Jump has been impressive, but this is by far his toughest assignment. Through six major league starts he has yet to allow a home run, an extremely difficult rate to sustain against one of baseball's deepest and most dangerous lineups. The Dodgers average more than 5.2 runs per game and have the patience and power to force young pitchers into mistakes. Even if Jump pitches well early, he is unlikely to work deep into the game after throwing as many as 107 pitches recently, bringing an Athletics bullpen with a 4.77 ERA into the spotlight.

Lauer's recent numbers also deserve a closer look. His Dodgers ERA has been solid, but he has still surrendered five home runs in just over 28 innings with Los Angeles and has always been susceptible to the long ball throughout his career. The Athletics have quietly been far more competitive offensively than many realize, averaging 4.6 runs per game while playing in games that average nearly 10 total runs.

The bullpens also favor offense. The Dodgers' relief corps has struggled lately, posting an 8.25 ERA over its last three games, while Oakland's bullpen has been inconsistent throughout the season and is vulnerable if Jump exits after five or six innings.

History between these clubs also points toward offense, with the OVER cashing in eight of the last ten meetings. Covers' projection has both teams scoring over six runs, reinforcing the expectation that this game has the ingredients for another high-scoring affair.

Everything lines up: a proven long-term oddsmaker-knowledge system, an even stronger enhanced angle, explosive offensive potential on both sides, and bullpens that could turn a good start into a late barrage of runs. This is an excellent spot to back the OVER 10.5.
