CFL Week 4 predictions, picks and best bets: Expect offensive fireworks in Argonauts vs. Redblacks

CFL Week 4 predictions

Desperate to get into the win column, the defending champion Toronto Argonauts are on the road in Week 4 to face the Ottawa Redblacks.

The latest: The Toronto/Ottawa matchup caps a four-game slate ahead of Canada Day. Due to some porous defence on both sides, that game has the highest projected total of the week (52.5 points).

Check out the latest CFL Week 4 predictions for the games beginning Thursday, June 26.

CFL Week 4 predictions

Best bet: Argonauts/Redblacks over 52.5 points (-110)

There’s so much focus on when Chad Kelly will return as QB1 for Toronto. But maybe Argos fans should be asking when (or if) the defence is going to show up.

  • Toronto has allowed 28+ points in all three of its games.
  • The Argos have the third-worst scoring defence in the CFL (32.0 PPG).
  • In the ground game, Toronto is allowing the second-most rushing yards (131.3/game).

Ottawa has quarterback injury questions of its own, as Dru Brown’s status is unknown after he missed the past two games. But if Brown isn’t back, at least the Redblacks know that Toronto’s run defence has been a sieve.

And the Redblacks have plenty of work to do on defence, too.

Ottawa allowed 30-plus points in its first two games and ranks third-last in total defence (390.3 yards/game).

Last week, the Redblacks beat the Stampeders, 20-12, but that game was played in a torrential downpour.

If Kelly and/or Brown are back under centre, I’ll feel even better about this play. But with two dreadful defences on the field, I still expect ample scoring regardless.

Key stat: Overs are 8-0 in the past eight matchups between the Argonauts and Redblacks. Each of those games featured at least 59 points.

CFL best bets

Alouettes -3 (-110): The Alouettes are the Grey Cup favourites, and deservedly so after a dominant 3-0 start. Each of their wins has come by a double-digit margin.

The Tiger-Cats, meanwhile, are 0-2 SU and ATS. Sure, they’re at home and coming off a bye, but Montreal covered as a road favourite in back-to-back weeks.

Last year, the Als went 2-0 vs. the Ti-Cats and outscored them by 27 points. Since September 2022, Montreal is 8-0 against Hamilton (7-1 ATS).

Montreal quarterback Davis Alexander didn’t practice on Monday or Tuesday, which helps explain this line a bit. But he still has a chance to play, and the Als’ defence is their greatest strength anyway.

Blue Bombers -10 (-110): Winnipeg has been a dominant squad in recent CFL seasons. You don’t have to remind Edmonton of that fact.

Since the 2022 season, the Blue Bombers are 8-0 vs. the Elks with an average victory margin of +16.9 points.

It’s very early in the CFL season, but Edmonton and Winnipeg already have a common opponent. And the results make this matchup look even more lopsided.

The Elks lost to the BC Lions in Week 1, 31-14. Winnipeg has gone on to beat BC by multiple scores in back-to-back weeks.

MLB home run picks June 25: Best bets and predictions to go deep on Wednesday

MLB home run picks

Spencer Torkelson is having a quiet month, but he’s liable to break out at any moment with a left-handed pitcher on the mound.

Today’s MLB HR narrative: Torkelson is tagging lefties at an elite rate, which is why he’s featured in Wednesday’s MLB home run picks. In Kansas City, the conditions are ripe for Yandy Diaz to go deep as he looks to extend a power-charged hit streak.

Check out the best MLB home run picks for June 25, which also includes a prediction on Max Muncy.

MLB home run picks

Best bet: Diaz to hit a home run (+450)

The wind is blowing out to left field tonight at Kauffman Stadium in the 10-to-12-mph range, per Swish Analytics.

That’s a good place to start when backing a right-hitting ballplayer.

Diaz is known to mash the ball, though he doesn’t hit it in the air often enough. He owns a 55.3% hard-hit rate (98th percentile, per Baseball Savant), but his 4.8-degree launch angle is roughly a third of the league average (12.4 degrees).

With ample pop, though, Diaz is always capable of running into one. He’s proven that during an active 13-game hitting streak:

  • .464 BA
  • .768 SLG
  • 4 HRs
  • 63% hard-hit rate

Michael Wacha starts for the Royals tonight, and although he hasn’t allowed a ton of hard contact this year, I still view this as a solid matchup for Diaz.

Wacha is a low-strikeout guy who doesn’t induce a lot of ground balls. His 40.1% ground ball rate ranks in the 40th percentile, per Baseball Savant.

In his past five outings, Wacha has allowed multiple HRs three times.

Key stat: Diaz is 3-for-8 with a home run and a double vs. Wacha.

Best HR predictions

Muncy to hit a home run (+320): I tried with Muncy yesterday, and he didn’t come through. He did finish 2-for-5 with a pair of 300-plus-feet balls in play, though.

That extended a superb offensive stretch for Muncy dating back to May 27. Since then, he has a .693 SLG and a 214 wRC+, with eight HRs in 21 games.

Rockies rookie Chase Dollander has really been feeling the effects of Denver’s altitude so far. The right-hander has allowed eight home runs and a .626 SLG in just 20.2 innings at Coors Field.

Among 135 pitchers with 50-plus innings, Dollander has the second-worst HR/9 (2.22).

Torkelson to hit a home run (+300): Torkelson is homer-less in his past nine games, which isn’t a significant stretch. But it’s his longest drought of the season, and I say he’s due for another long ball.

  • The former No. 1 overall pick is on a 32-homer pace, which would be his career best.
  • Torkelson is slugging .595 vs. left-handed pitchers, and his seven homers against LHPs are tied for the sixth-most in MLB.

A’s lefty Jacob Lopez throws a combination of four-seam fastballs, changeups and sliders to right-hitting players more than 75% of the time. Torkelson has tattooed all of those offerings.

Facing four-seamers, changeups and sliders from LHPs this year, Torkelson has a combined .284/.376/.619 slash line.

Dodgers vs. Rockies SGP predictions June 25: Bet on Pages to rake, Colorado to cover a hefty run line

Dodgers vs. Rockies predictions

The Los Angeles Dodgers are massive favourites against the Colorado Rockies in a game with the highest projected total from Wednesday’s MLB slate (11 runs).

The pregame narrative: Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been in a bit of a funk lately, but you wouldn’t know it by L.A.’s -235 odds as a run line favourite. The Dodgers are 4-0 vs. the Rockies this season, including a 9-7 victory on the road last night.

Check out my Dodgers vs. Rockies predictions, including Andy Pages and Hunter Goodman.

Dodgers vs. Rockies predictions

Parlay: Rockies +5.5 | Pages over 1.5 total bases | Goodman over 0.5 hits (+295)

Rockies +5.5 (-250): I will have egg on my face if this parlay flops on this leg. And that could happen.

The Rockies (18-61) have a -204 run differential, which is more than twice as bad as any other team in the National League. It’s not even the halfway point, and they almost have as many losses as the Dodgers had all of last season (64).

But, come on, this is a parlay-playable price for an insane amount of cushion.

  • The Dodgers are 0-4 in Yamamoto’s starts in June. He has a 5.23 ERA and a 5.26 FIP in that span. Overall, the Dodgers are 1-14 vs. a -5.5 run line with Yamamoto on the mound.
  • Colorado has covered this line in all four matchups vs. L.A. so far this season.
  • The Rockies are 52-17 vs. a +5.5 run line this year. Probably not something they’re proud of, but still a strong hit rate for this line.

Embed: #115203

MLB SGP legs

Pages over 1.5 total bases (-118): Pages and Rockies starter Chase Dollander both have reverse splits. That means this righty-on-righty matchup actually works in Pages’ favour.

The centrefielder has a .292/.333/.536 slash line vs. RHPs. As for Dollander, RHHs have a .278/.360/.505 slash line against him.

And everyone has been mashing Dollander in his home park. The rookie has allowed an unsightly 1.034 OPS at Coors Field.

If you’re still not sold, consider that Pages is on a heater right now.

He went 2-for-5 with a double at Coors Field last night and is 15-8 vs. this prop in his past 23 starts.

Goodman over 0.5 hits (-265): Like Pages, Goodman is a second-year player who’s really making waves offensively this season.

The first-year Rockie is batting a career-high .268 while posting a 53.8% hard-hit rate (94th percentile, per Baseball Savant).

In 17 starts this month, the catcher is 26-for-74 (.351) and cashed this bet all but once. And he has a .326 xBA in that span, per Baseball Savant, which legitimizes the impressive run.

After looking nearly untouchable through his first seven outings, Yamamoto has really cooled off. This month, he’s allowed 12 runs on 24 hits in 20.2 innings.

Best MLB prop bets June 25: Bet on Rodriguez to score, Fedde and Misiorowski to shine on the mound

MLB prop bets

The biggest pitching matchup of the day is happening in the afternoon, as Paul Skenes duels with Jacob Misiorowski.

Today’s MLB props narrative: Both young guns can light up the radar gun, and Misiorowski should have a chance to mow down a Pirates lineup that often can’t handle the heat. Later on Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners’ offence looks to stay in a groove against Joe Ryan and the Minnesota Twins.

Check out the best MLB prop bets for June 25, featuring a prediction on Erick Fedde.

MLB prop bets

Best Bet: Julio Rodriguez over 0.5 runs (+125)

Rodriguez has been solid, but not spectacular, in recent games. But with how the Mariners are swinging the bats right now, he’ll be a threat to score whenever he gets on.

Over the past two weeks, the Mariners rank second in MLB in wRC+ (142). Also, their strikeout rate in that span (20.1%) is notably lower than their season average (22.8%).

Rodriguez bats No. 2 for Seattle, right behind the MVP-calibre bat of Cal Raleigh. MLB’s home run leader has homered in five of his past six games and has a 1.151 OPS this month.

With that in mind, you might think I’d just back Raleigh over 1.5 total bases (-106). I don’t mind that play at all, but I’m more compelled by Rodriguez’s price to score.

Rodriguez is 9-7 vs. this prop in his past 16 games, with a respectable .754 OPS in that span.

Seattle is 18-for-45 against Minnesota’s Ryan with eight extra-base hits (.733 SLG). And Rodriguez has had his fair share of that success.

Key stat: Rodriguez is 4-for-9 with a home run, two doubles and a walk (1.500 OPS) vs. Ryan.

Best MLB picks

Misiorowski over 5.5 strikeouts (-125): As a 6-foot-7, 197-pound pitcher who hucks upper-90s fastballs, Misiorowski is kind of like a slightly bigger Jacob deGrom with less control.

The Brewers’ rookie sits 99-plus with his four-seamer, and even his changeup can come in as high as 94 mph.

Stuff like that is difficult to control, but the results have also been electric.

Through two starts (11.0 innings), Misiorowski has allowed one hit and five walks while striking out 11 batters.

Despite how hard his pitches are coming in, the contact going out has been weak, as he’s garnered a 27.3% hard-hit rate (MLB average is 41.0%), per Baseball Savant.

The Pittsburgh Pirates haven’t seen Misiorowski yet, and I expect them to struggle. They have the sixth-highest strikeout rate in the majors (23.6%).

Pittsburgh also has the sixth-highest K rate on fastballs that are 99 mph or faster (41.5%).

Fedde over 17.5 outs (-120): Fedde is averaging 16.8 outs per game this season, so he’s not quite at this mark in a typical outing. But he often gets oh so close.

The St. Louis right-hander has pitched into the sixth inning or deeper in 13 of 15 starts. So he’s almost always given the opportunity to cash this bet.

I’m not scared of the Cubs’ offence right now, given that the lineup has just a 99 wRC+ over the past 30 days.

Fedde’s biggest issue is walks, but the Cubs have just a 6.9% walk rate in the past month (26th in MLB). Hopefully that impatience persists tonight.

The Cardinals deploy a six-man rotation, which puts more strain on the starters to give length. After using four relievers for 15-plus pitches last night — including the two highest-leverage guys — St. Louis would love to see Fedde eat some innings.

Week 4 betting notes

  • After losing by 10-plus points in its first two games, Edmonton is a 10-point road underdog against an unbeaten Winnipeg squad. That might be a bit light. Consider the fact that the Elks lost to the Lions, 31-14, and the Blue Bombers have already beaten the Lions twice by a combined 27 points.
  • Montreal continues to roll, stacking its third consecutive blowout win in Week 3. The Als, who are 3-0 ATS so far, will be road favourites for a third straight week when they head to Hamilton. The Tiger-Cats, who are coming off a bye week, haven’t beaten the Als since July 2022 (0-9 since).
  • Following last week’s loss to the Blue Bombers, Lions head coach Buck Pierce told reporters that it’s too early to know if Nathan Rourke will be available for Saturday’s matchup in Regina. Rourke, BC’s starting quarterback, sat out last week’s 27-14 loss against Winnipeg with an oblique injury. BC is a justifiable road underdog against the Riders (3-0), who are 3-0 ATS.
  • The Week 4 finale could be a sloppy one. The Argonauts (0-3) and Redblacks (1-2) are the two most penalized teams in the CFL, averaging a combined 19 penalties per game. This matchup also has the highest projected total (52.5 points), which makes sense given that overs are 8-0 in their past eight matchups. Last year, all three of their games totalled 68-plus points.

Blue Jays vs. Guardians prop picks June 24: Clement, Springer should provide offence for Toronto

Blue Jays picks

After an off-day yesterday, the Toronto Blue Jays are on the road to face the Cleveland Guardians for a three-game series.

The pregame narrative: Cleveland took two of three from Toronto last month at Rogers Centre in a series where all three games were decided by two or fewer runs. Eric Lauer will start for the Blue Jays, looking to bolster his rotation spot that was earned earlier in June.

Check out my Blue Jays picks vs. the Guardians for June 24, featuring Ernie Clement and George Springer.

Blue Jays picks vs. Guardians

Best Bet: Clement over 1.5 total bases (+110)

Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh, Kyle Schwarber, Paul Goldschmidt, and … Ernie Clement.

Based on wRC+, those are the top five hitters in MLB against left-handed pitching.

And Clement (236 wRC+ vs. LHPs) is actually second, with a .434/.470/.724 slash line. He’s a bit of an unsung success story for the Jays, but this is worth paying attention to.

Clement doesn’t swing hard or hit the ball hard. He’s in the bottom-10th percentile in bat speed, hard-hit rate and barrel rate, per Baseball Savant.

But he still knows how to generate quality contact, evidenced by his 98th-percentile squared-up rate. That means he’s often connecting with the sweet spot, which is always a good thing.

Oh, and he’s a bona fide free-swinger who rarely strikes out:

  • 7th-percentile walk rate (4.2%)
  • 7th-percentile chase rate (37.5%)
  • 95th-percentile K rate (11.1%)
  • 92nd-percentile whiff rate (14.9%)

Clement has been on quite a tear since the Blue Jays’ late-May homestand. Since May 29, he’s batting .416 with a 1.040 OPS … and only one walk. He’s 14-7 vs. this total bases prop in 21 starts over that span.

This swing-happy infielder should be in a great spot to succeed with another southpaw on the mound.

Key stat: Clement is 2-for-5 with two doubles vs. Logan Allen.

Quick pick

Springer over 0.5 RBI (+160): He’s not on a Clement-calibre hot streak right now, but Springer is in a groove that also coincides with Toronto’s late-May homestand.

In 20 starts since May 29, Springer is slugging .493 with 14 RBI. He’s 11-9 vs. this prop in that span.

Springer will be somewhere in the Nos. 3-5 spots in Toronto’s lineup tonight. With the likes of Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in front, that’s a nice spot to be for RBI opportunities.

Against Allen, Springer is 3-for-7 with two home runs and two walks.
