Red Sox at Cubs - 2:20 ET

MATCHES Sunday's 60 Dime Winner
- Guardians over the White Sox -

I am set to resume the winning and I will do so this Friday with this matinee winner from Chitown.

July is going to be my month, make no mistake about it.

Friday's free play winner will be the Padres and the Nationals to open their weekend set with an Over at Nationals Park.

Dylan Cease will look to start the second half by stopping the bleeding that ensued to end his first half. The righty's last 3 starts saw him go 16 innings with 18 hits - 7 of them home runs! - and 14 runs allowed.

The Nationals went to the break on an 8-1-1 Over run for their last 10 games, and their starter, Michael Soroka, worked just 8 innings over his last pair of starts before the break with 9 runs allowed on 13 hits.

I have a feeling the Over roll the Nats went to the break on will continue in their first game out of the break.

Play the Padres and the Nationals to land Over the total.

Cincinnati at N.Y. METS (-1 1/2 runs, +130)

Nobody needed this All-Star Break more than me!

Big Mike has wiped the slate clean on the diamond and the reset button has been hit.

Time to put together a second half of the season winning streak.

2nd Biggest MLB Play Goes Again

75 Dime
Interleague Lock

Yankees at Braves - 7:15 ET

New York at Atlanta is set to cash as I come back from the break with a vengeance.

Your free play winner for Friday is the Mets on the Run Line to put their strong home field advantage to good use against the visiting Cincinnati Reds.

It doesn't matter all that much who makes the start in this game, as New York is 33-14 this season at Citi Field, and they will be taking on a Cincinnati team that is just 22-25 on the road this season.

This will be the first series between the teams this season, and the Mets did take 4 of the 6 overall series meetings a season ago off the Reds, with New York's last 3 wins coming by 2 runs or more.

Cincy did win its last pair and 4 of 5 overall to head to the All-Star Break with some momentum, but the wins came against a pair of last-place clubs in the Rockies and the Marlins. The Reds will be taking on a New York team that is just a 1/2 game out of first place in the N.L. East. It is a New York team that simply does NOT lose often in their home yard.

Play the Mets on the Run Line.
