The Chiefs opened their 2017 preseason with a loss against San Francisco and one that did not go over too well. Kansas City allowed 18 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to lose by 10 points against one of the worst teams in the league and while the games do not count, the Chiefs will be out to play better. They were outgained by 247 total yards and they heard about it this past week. Cincinnati meanwhile beat up on Tampa Bay as they outscored the Buccaneers 20-3 following an early 9-3 deficit. The Bengals got a surprisingly good showing from third string quarterback Jeff Driskel who was their best player on offense and it will be interesting to see what happens with him going forward and possibly taking the place of A.J. McCarron whose name continues to be brought up in trade talks. The Kansas City first string looked good on both sides of the ball in very limited action and they will see more action in the second game. While Driskel shined for the Bengals, rookie Patrick Mahomes was nearly as solid as he went 7-9 for 49 yards and a touchdown. Trading up for him in the draft was a risky move and just one game in cannot tell much but it showed that he is a possible replacement for Alex Smith come next season. The Chiefs fall into an exceptional preseason situation as we play on any NFL preseason road underdog of four points or less, that is coming off a straight up favorite loss by 10 points or more, going up against an opponent coming off a straight up and ATS win. This situation is 25-6 ATS (80.6%) since 1980. This system goes right to the heart of what the majority of bettors shortcomings are and that is they see what happened the week before and then overreact. 10* (411) Kansas City Chiefs

This is the second game of a home-and-home between these East Division rivals with Montreal taking the first meeting 21-9 eight days ago. That win snapped a two-game slide for the Alouettes and it has been an up and down season for them as they have yet to win consecutive games but have come close as their four losses have all come by seven points or less. Montreal owns a very impressive win over Calgary earlier in the season which came at home where it is 3-1 compared to going 0-3 on the road. The Alouettes were favored by nine points last week which seems like a huge number which does not coordinate with the number this week but that is because Toronto was without quarterback Ricky Ray and that was the difference in the game. Backups Cody Fajardo and Jeff Mathews led the Argonauts to only nine points while failing to find the end zone in Week Eight. That was the third straight loss for Toronto, two coming on the road and the third coming against Calgary which is once again red hot and it did not catch the Stampeders in a good spot like Montreal did. We can chalk last week up as a bad break for Toronto without their signal caller and the other seven games have been true to form as it is 3-0 against the weak East Division and 0-4 against the much tougher West Division. The story last week was the Toronto defense as it was solid once again and its 356.9 ypg allowed is a yard away from being the best in the CFL. The return of Ray and the continued strength of the defense lead Toronto to a revenge victory today. 10* (358) Toronto Argonauts

This would typically be a good contrarian spot to back Atlanta considering it has lost eight straight games both straight up and against the number. However, the line is not indicative of that and the Dream right now look to be both mentally and physically shot. A losing streak like this is hard to recover from considering five of the losses have not been close and they are now three games out of the final playoff spot with a team in ahead of them in ninth place. The road has been a disaster as Atlanta is 3-11 including 2-9 as a road underdog. Dallas is tied with Seattle for the No. 7 and No. 8 spots in the playoff standings so each game is important at this point. The Wings have lost two straight games to get into this position, the last coming on the road at red hot Connecticut and the one prior to that came at home against Phoenix by a point in overtime. Dallas had won five straight home going into that game with the Mercury and it is now 9-6 on the home floor on the season. The Wings have won five of seven games as home favorites and while mentioned each game is important, with the next two games at Connecticut and Washington, this one becomes even more vital and a win would likely knock Atlanta out of the playoff picture giving the wings one less team to worry about. 10* (668) Dallas Wings

The Dodgers continued their epic run last night with an 8-5 win in this series opener to improve to 51-9 over their last 60 games. They have crushed the books so stepping in front of this moneytrain can be scary but we are doing so this afternoon as Detroit is in a very good spot. The Tigers have dropped five straight games and last night, the defeat knocked them back to .500 at home. Despite that, the Tigers are 9-3 in their last 12 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Michael Fulmer takes the hill for Detroit and he looks to bounce back from a pair of poor outings, one before his DL stint and one after. Both of those were on the road however and he has been solid at home with a 3.69 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 11 starts, nine of which have been quality outings. This includes a stretch of five straight and going back, the Tigers are 10-3 in his last 13 home starts against teams with a winning record. Hyun-Jin Ryu counters for the Dodgers and he has been the worst road pitcher on the staff as his four losses are the most on the team and his two wins are tied for fewest among qualified starters. Detroit has crushed lefties all season as it is first in the American League with a .285 and first in baseball with a .846 OPS and they got to Rich Hill last night so facing another a second straight day is a big edge. Going back, the Dodgers are 2-8 in Ryu's last 10 road starts. 10* (978) Detroit Tigers

Minnesota took the opener of this series last night to keep pace with the Indians in the American League Central and while they deficit is six games, the loss by the Angels put the Twins into a tie with Los Angeles for the second Wild Card spot in the American League. They are 15-11 over their last 26 home games after a very poor start at Target Field and they have won nine of their last 12 overall. Arizona is now a game behind Colorado for the top Wild Card spot in the National League and is four games up on St. Louis, the closest team in pursuit. The Diamondbacks dropped to four games under .500 on the road and they have lost seven of their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. The Twins turn to Jose Berrios who has been very up and down of late but his struggles have mostly come on the road. In 10 road starts, he is 4-4 with a 5.13 ERA and 1.41 WHIP but in seven home starts, he is 6-1with a 3.30 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. Five of those starts have been quality outings and the Twins have won his last five home starts. Zack Greinke gets the ball for Arizona and he is getting the most public action of any team in baseball on Saturday. He has been on a roll but like Berrios, his success has come at home. He is 11-1 with a 2.34 ERA in 14 home starts but he is just 3-4 with a 3.98 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 10 road starts with Arizona going 5-5 in those games. The most surprising is the fact that only four of those 10 starts have been quality performances. 10* (980) Minnesota Twins

The Royals could not muster any offense off Corey Kluber and the bullpen last night in a 10-1 loss to fall 6.5 games out of first place in the American League Central. Kansas City is now a game over .500 but is just a game out of the second American League Wild Card spot and looks to reverse the outcome tonight in what is a good spot to do so. Cleveland had a six-game winning streak snapped in the second game of its double-header on Thursday but it did not stay down for long as the offense has scored seven or more runs in four of its last five games. Keeping that up will be an issue as the Indians have 22 losses against left-handed starters this season which is the third most in baseball behind the Reds and Giants. Jason Vargas has taken a step back after a great start to the season but most of that damage has been on the road. He is 7-3 with a 3.30 ERA in 12 home starts and two of those games came against the Indians where he allowed no runs in 15 combined innings. The Royals are 24-9 in his last 33 starts. Cleveland counters with Trevor Bauer who has been on a solid run of four straight quality starts and in his last outing, he struck out 11 Red Sox. After that though he tossed two-thirds of an inning on Thursday in that Game Two against Minnesota and that could mess up his routine. On the road, he has a 6.23 ERA and 1.57 WHIP and going back, the Royals are 23-8 in their last 31 games against starters with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Play (972) Kansas City Royals
