Jonathan Coachman is joined by top sports betting experts Larry Hartstein, Jon (Buckets) Eimer and Allie O'Neill on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get highlighted plays for MLB, NFL and soccer for Tuesday, Sept. 6, 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: the Mets (-120) on the run line against the Pirates (6:35 p.m. ET). "At this time of the year, we kind of decided here at the show we're only going to bet on good teams," he says.

O'Neill has one play, from MLB: the Braves (-130) on the run line against the A's (9:40 p.m. ET). "[Atlanta's Kyle Wright] did pitch against the A's earlier this season in Atlanta, and he went eight innings and only gave up two earned runs," she says.

Coach then chimes in with his Cash With The Coach play: the Rays (-160) to beat the Red Sox (6:40 p.m. ET). "[The Rays] are playing like a playoff team," he says.

Eimer has three soccer plays. The first is Benfica Lisbon (-120) to win half time and full time against Maccabi Haifa (3 p.m. ET). "Benfica Lisbon has not lost in 15 matches straight," he says.

His second play is Both Teams To Score: Yes (-150) in the Real Madrid-Celtic match (3 p.m. ET). "It's impossible to play at [Celtic Park] as a visiting squad," he says. "You can't hear. You can't communicate."

His final play is Over 2.5 goals in the match between AC Milan and RB Salzburg (3 p.m. ET). "We should expect very, very aggressive and attack-heavy soccer from these teams," he says.

Hartstein closes out the show with two plays. The first is a NFL Week 1 teaser: Vikings (+7.5) to cover against the Packers (4:25 p.m. Sunday) and the 49ers (-1) to cover against the Bears (1 p.m. ET Sunday). "I think the Vikings are going to be so much more aggressive offensively," he says. He adds, "The 49ers should run all over the Bears, who lost almost of their best defensive linemen."

His final play is Over 4.5 strikeouts for Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly (-102) against the Padres (9:40 p.m. ET). "He has gone Over 4.5 strikeouts nine straight times," he says.
