Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS -1.5 RL OVER PITTSBURGH PIRATES (10:15pm E, Wednesday, August 12) San Francisco has established themselves has one of the elite teams in the league. Pittsburgh is hit and miss and we think this is a miss game for them. Look for the Giants, at home to score early and often against the Pirates and win this one going away. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend card featuring week 1 plays from NFL Preseason along with WNBA and MLB selections. We were perfect on our 8-unit plays last week and you can expect more of the same this weekend.

6-Unit Play: Take 953 San Diego Padres -1.5, -150 OVER WASHINGTON NATIONALS (7:05pm E, Friday August 12) After the blockbuster trade, the Padres have one of the best teams in the Majors.They can compete with anyone and with Clevinger on the mound with his low 3.6 ERA, against Abott and his 5.9 ERA, we like this game going away. 

10 Unit Play. Take #683 Toronto over Hamilton (7:30p.m., Friday, August 12 ESPN+) This line continues to move toward the Argonauts, as they are now close to a field goal favorite. It is because of the injury situation with Hamilton, as QB Dane Evans is doubtful for this game. The Tigers-Cats also have a bunch of wide receivers out for this game and that will allow the Argonauts to beat them for a second straight week. Toronto is not the most reliable team, but they have been playing better of late, winning 3 of their last 4 games. That included a home and home consecutive week sweep of Saskatchewan (similar setup to this game). Toronto is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Argonauts are 3-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games against the Tiger-Cats. Hamilton is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. This line has moved close to 5 points and we agree that the quarterback loss will be too much for Hamilton to overcome.
