Jonathan Coachman is joined by featured betting experts Allie O'Neill, Zack Cimini, Matt Severance and Justin Perri on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get prime plays for the NFL, MLB and Champions League for Wednesday, Sept. 28.

Matt shares the storylines he's monitoring in baseball, and he suggests continuing to hammer his Dodgers-Giants moneyline parlay that hit on Tuesday until the NL West is resolved. Zack shares his concern for Russell Wilson after the Seahawks blew leads in two straight games.

The Coach then drops the SportsLine Play of the Day from the UEFA Champions League, spotlighting Atalanta and Young Boys both to score at -162 at 12:45 p.m. ET and pointing listeners to the bonus podcast with SportsLine soccer expert Martin Green running down his top Champions League picks for the week.

Justin fires away with his top MLB picks of the day, starting with Cubs-Pirates (6:35 p.m. ET) going Over 8.5 runs, noting the Over has hit in 13 of the Cubs' last 15 game and five straight games between these two teams. Kyle Hendricks has been rocked by the Pirates this season, while Roansy Contreras is making his MLB debut. Perri also gives his favorite pick from Diamondbacks-Giants (9:45 p.m. ET).

Allie is going back to the well with Mariners going over their team total of 3.5 runs in their matchup with the A's (10:10 p.m. ET). "It's hit in the last 11 games they've played the A's," Allie says.

Matt is on the Yankees -110 over the Blue Jays (7:07 p.m. ET). "This is (Gerrit Cole's) last chance to make a case for the AL Cy Young, and basically would all but clinch a wild-card spot for New York," Matt says. "It's just too good a price with Giancarlo Stanton on an 'Allie Bama' type of roll." Matt also shares an NFL play he likes after a line move early in the week.

Zack stays in the NFL to share a prop he loves on Thursday Night Football, going with Laviska Shenault Over 40.5 receiving yards, noting that Overs have been gold in primetime games. He believes Trevor Lawrence is being undervalued by the market and a better performance by the quarterback than expected will lead to Shenault hitting the Over.
