The Thursday Comp play is on Ivory Coast -2 goals at 4 eastern. Ivory Coast likely bags the three points here in a multiple goal win. Ivory held a late lead on Germany before losing the lead in an eventual 2-1 loss. So now they need a win or draw to advance to the Knockout stage. Enter Curacao who needs all types of help after getting wiped out 7-1 to Germany in the opening game. They secured a draw with Ecuador mainly due to an exceptional performance by their goalie who had to make 15 saves. Ivory Coast will likely get multiple goals here as their is a wide gulf in talent and as Germany has seem The Coast is difficult to break down. This game has 3 or 4-0 written all over it. Play on Ivory Coast -2. GL Rob V-

1* Free Sharp Play on Astros +111

My selection is on Texas over Toronto at 7:05 pm et on Thursday.

The Blue Jays are reeling off back-to-back losses to the Astros. The Rangers figure to be in a similarly foul mood after consecutive defeats in Miami. We'll back Texas at a plus-money return on Thursday as it sends MacKenzie Gore to the hill against Kevin Gausman of Toronto. Gore hasn't had a banner start to the season with his new club but does come off one of his best outings, allowing just one earned run over six innings against the Padres last time out. He still owns a respectable 3.54 FIP and 1.30 WHIP on the campaign. Perhaps most notable is the fact that the Rangers solid bullpen is in excellent shape with all hands on deck for this series opener. That's more than can be said for the Blue Jays oft-overworked 'pen. Gausman got lit up for seven earned runs over just two innings against the Cubs in his most recent start. He's been good but not great this season and Toronto has dropped three of his last four starts overall. The Blue Jays enter this contest ranked 15th in the majors in xwOBA over the last week - four spots behind the Rangers in that category. Take Texas (8*).
