Coach starts things off with the SportsLine play of the day: Under 9 runs (-130) in the Dodgers-Cardinals game (7:45 p.m. ET). "The Dodgers are 80 percent to the Under after days off this season," he says.

Wetzel has two plays from the WNBA. The first is the Sky (-5) to cover the first half spread against the Dream (8 p.m. ET). "The All-Star Game was in Chicago, so this is the one team that didn't have anyone that had to travel," he says.

He also likes a player prop: Over 6.5 rebounds (-115) for Seattle's Breanna Stewart against the Dallas Wings (3 p.m. ET). "She's averaging over seven [rebounds per game]," he says. "She's hit this Over 6.5 in 15 of her 21 games."

Coach, who is on an incredible 35-9 run, has two Cash With The Coach plays. The first is the Rays (+1.5) to cover against the Red Sox (7:10 p.m. ET). "Chris Sale has been hurt all year," he says. "I don't know what he's going to bring to the table today."

The second play is the Dodgers (-145) to beat the Cardinals. "You are going to give me the Dodgers under -150 on any day against any team? I'm going to take it," he says.

Eimer has four soccer plays. The first is Both Teams To Score: Yes (-135) in the Malmo-Vikingur Reykjavik match (3:30 p.m. ET). "[Malmo] are implementing a new strategy where they play absolutely no defense," he says.

His second play is Both Teams To Score: Yes (-130) in the Lincoln-Shkupi match (12 p.m. ET). "[Lincoln] have got nothing else to do but go for goals," he says.

He also likes Sheriff Tiraspol (-130) to beat Zrinjski Mostar (1 p.m. ET). "This is a [Lincoln] team that is capable of scoring against anyone," he says.

His final play is Both Teams To Score: Yes (+110) in the Qarabag-Lech Poznan match (12 p.m. ET). 

Hartstein closes out the show with two MLB plays. The first is the Orioles (+100) to beat the Cubs (8:05 p.m. ET). "The Orioles have the fifth best bullpen in baseball, and the Cubs have the fifth worst bullpen in baseball," he says.

His final play is the Mariners (-110) to beat the Nationals (7:05 p.m. ET). "You take a look at two teams in different directions," he says.
