Jonathan Coachman is joined by top sports betting experts Mike McClure, John Bollman and Zack Cimini on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get highlighted plays for MLB and NFL for Tuesday, Sept. 27, and you can stream the show live every morning on the SportsLine YouTube page.

Coach starts things off with the SportsLine play of the day, Dodgers Team Total to go Over 3.5 runs against the Padres (9:40 p.m. ET). "It doesn't matter who wins," he says. "It just matters that the Dodgers get to four runs, and they've been doing that consistently throughout the last month."

McClure has a three-leg MLB parlay that would pay +239: Braves money line against the Nationals (7:05 p.m. ET), Mets money line against the Marlins (7:10 p.m. ET) and Phillies money line against the Cubs (7:40 p.m. ET). "All three of these teams are highly motivated to win baseball games still at this point of the season," he says.

Cimini has one player prop for Thursday's NFL game between the Bengals and Dolphins (8:15 p.m. ET): Over 63.5 receiving yards for Cincinnati's Tee Higgins (-110). "The Cincinnati Bengals, their offense is starting to look a little bit better," he says.

Bollman closes out the show with one MLB play: The Phillies (-165) to beat the Cubs (7:40 p.m. ET). "[Chicago starter] Marcus Stroman is weirdly much worse at home this season," he says. "He's 1-5 with a 6.31 ERA at home this season."
