Allan delivers the SportsLine Play of the Day to start off, backing the pick of the U.S. Men's Basketball Team -23.5 over the Czech Republic in the Tokyo Olympics at 8 a.m. ET on Saturday. When looking at common opponents between the teams, it is apparent that the U.S. will have the edge. 

Mike's featured MLB play is the Brewers and Braves Over 8.5 runs at 7:20 p.m. ET. "I think the Braves can get to Corbin Burnes a little bit. I think it's an isolated situation where you can pick on Burnes where he could potentially struggle," he says. "The air density index is down to 55 here. It's such a strong hitting environment."

Justin supplies a trio of MLB picks of his own, leading with the Royals and Blue Jays Under 10.5 runs at 7:07 p.m ET. He spotlights a very unique metric which point to offensive struggles on the road for Kansas City. He is also shares his plays for Dodgers-Diamondbacks at 9:40 p.m. ET and Reds-Mets at 7:10 p.m. ET.

Allan's top play is the A's -115 over the Angels at 9:38 p.m. ET. Oakland has dominated the season series so far. The show wraps up with the Jeweler's Gem, a look at possible final moves before the MLB Trade Deadline and Mike's amusing take on the Russell Westbrook trade.
