Today's picks: Why Rockies will beat Cubs, plus more MLB and USA Men's Basketball 2020 Tokyo Olympics Picks for Wednesday, August 4

Jonathan Coachman is joined by top sports betting experts Zack Cimini and Matt Severance on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get the best plays for Major League Baseball and U.S. Men's Olympic Basketball for Wednesday, August 4.

Matt opens by looking ahead to Orioles-Yankees at 7:05 p.m. ET, and notes that Matt Harvey is pitching much better recently and has good history against the Yankees. Zack focuses on the NBA Summer League and why you should monitor the progress of Davion Mitchell. 

The Coach delivers the SportsLine Plays of the Day from the site experts and models. He highlights the pick of  Australia +12 over the U.S. Men's Basketball Team in the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday at 12:15 a.m. ET. Australia is a formidable foe, having already downed the U.S. in an exhibition matchup. He also backs the Angels and Rangers to go over eight runs at 8:05 p.m. ET even though Shohei Ohtani is on the mound. 

Matt has a pair of MLB selections, leading with the Rockies -145 over the Cubs at 8:40 p.m. ET. "I'm just going to put the Cubs as a fade unless Kyle Hendricks is on the mound on the road for the rest of the season," he says. "This is just easy money again. Jon Gray has been great since coming off the injured list, and he has been very good at home all season. I expect this to be another blowout." Matt's second pick is one that he anticipates will clash with one of Zack's takes, as he is going with the Tigers +1.5 over the Red Sox at 7:10 p.m. ET. Casey Mize has proven to be very profitable this season. 

Zack is rolling with the Cardinals +101 over the Braves at 8:15 p.m. ET. A change of scenery could lead to better results for J.A. Happ. As indicated, Zack is still sticking with the Red Sox -145 over the Tigers, as Eduardo Rodriguez should get ample run support again. The Coach then reveals a very special guest producer who provides a very good parlay. He has the credentials to back it up.
