4-units Take #713 BC Lions over Montreal Alouettes (Saturday, July 5th, 7:00 p.m. CBSSN) The BC Lions are catching 2.5 points in Montreal, but this number doesnt reflect the current trajectory of either team. The return of Nathan Rourke at quarterback gives BC a clear edgenot just in talent, but in offensive identity. Rourke steps back into a system thats already producing at a high level, ranking second in the CFL in both total yards (379 per game) and passing yards (282.5). The Lions have been especially efficient in the red zone, running a league-high 29 plays inside the 20. That kind of sustained offensive pressure is difficult to match, especially for a Montreal team thats coming off its worst performance of the season. The Alouettes dropped to 31 after a 3517 loss in Hamilton, a game that exposed serious concerns at quarterback. With Davis Alexander sidelined for a second straight week, Montreal turns again to 37-year-old McLeod Bethel-Thompson. MBT looked overwhelmed against a mediocre Tiger-Cats secondary, finishing with a 59.3 QB rating, 5.0 yards per attempt, and two interceptions. Hes now lost four straight starts dating back to last season in Edmonton, and the sharpness he showed in relief against the Elks has quickly faded. Now he faces a BC defense thats far more disciplined and athletic than Hamiltons. The Lions lead the league in pass defense (183.8 yards allowed per game) and rank second in total defense (324.2). Theyve also allowed just 18 red zone plays all season, third-fewest in the CFL. While BCs run defense has been a weak spotgiving up a league-worst 140.5 yards per gameMontreal hasnt shown the consistency on the ground to exploit it. This isnt just a favorable matchup on paperits one thats historically tilted toward BC. The Lions are 73 straight up and 82 against the spread in their last 10 trips to Montreal. Even more compelling: theyre a perfect 100 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog against the Alouettes. Thats not noiseits a trend. With Rourke back at the controls, a defense that can smother MBTs limited downfield attack, and a long track record of covering in this exact role, BC is the right side. Take the points, and dont be surprised if they leave Montreal with a win. |

7 Unit Play. Take #905 Milwaukee over Miami (4:10p.m., Saturday, July 5 MLB.tv) The Brewers are just a better team than the Marlins. I have no confidence in Cal Quantrill, as he does not do anything well and will get hit hard by the Brewers team. He has given up 11 home runs in 73 innings to go along with 81 hits. He has pitched a little better of late, but he will not last long in this game. Chad Patrick has been a tough luck loser with not much run support, but if he continues to pitch well the wins will eventually come. The Marlins were on a nice winning streak, but will enter this game having lost 2 of their last 3 games and they do not have the advantage on either side of the diamond this afternoon. Milwaukee grinded out a victory last night and they will use that momentum to win this series on Saturday going for the sweep on Sunday. |

SERVICE BIO |

|
Doc's Sports Service has been in the sports handicapping business since 1971, and we are recognized as one of the leaders and most trusted names in the industry. Most handicapping services are one-man operations, but here at Docs Sports we are among the most progressive thinkers in the industry, and we have assembled some of the finest experts in the country for our service. We are one of the few handicapping companies that have withstood the test of time because of hard work, honesty and consistently of providing winners to our valued clients. Since 1971 Docs Sports became famous for our college football Big Ten Game of the Year that won and covered the point spread 19 years in a row. Docs Sports is one of the only handicapping services whose powerful influence has historically moved the official Las Vegas line more than seven points. At Docs Sports we often focus on lesser-known teams and less-popular games as oftentimes less information is available on those teams and games and certain trends tend to stick out and offer value that the average person may not catch. Oddsmakers set lines to balance the action, so in reality we're often handicapping against the general public perception, and the general public rarely ever wins long term. When you think of it that way our job is really not that difficult since we have more than four decades of experience and know what to look for when handicapping a game. The sportsbooks and oddsmakers have to handicap and set lines for every game -- we simply find a few of their mistakes. Docs Sports uses a combination of technical and fundamental handicapping along with exclusive information that we gather from a vast network of contacts that we have developed over the past 40+ years. At Docs Sports we built our name in the 1970s by becoming one of the best in handicapping college sports. That still holds true today as our best results still come from college football and college basketball. We also have individual full-time handicappers for NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, WNBA, CFL and major horse races, and we feel we have some of the top experts in the country in these designated fields. We are always in search of the best talent for our team, and what surprises most people is that some of our best information comes from our own clients. These are trusted clients that have been not only customers but have turned into friends of ours over the years, and they are able to pick up on key information in their areas. We love the feeling of being able to help people make money when facing challenging odds. Good money can be made if one has the connections, and here at Doc's Sports we pride ourselves on uncovering the edge that gives the clients the ability to beat the books on a consistent basis. |
