05-18-24 | Thunder v. Mavs -3.5 | 116-117 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 52 m | Show | |
Dallas has taken control of this series and we think this one ends at Game 6 in Dallas. They have won and covered three of the last four games in this series, and they seemed to have figured the Thunder out, as the only loss was by four points. The Thunder started the playoffs great, but their inexperience is starting to show, and teams need several seasons of trials and tribulations in the postseason to be able to excel in a high-pressure situation like this. We think Dallas rolls tonight. |
|||||||
05-18-24 | Tigers v. Diamondbacks -139 | 8-3 | Loss | -139 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #980 Arizona -145 over Detroit (8:10p.m., Saturday, May 18 MLB.tv) We used a big play on the Tigers last night behind their ace and we go the opposite way on Saturday behind the Snakes ace. Detroit scored 13 runs last night, but was shutout the previous two games and I do not see them having much success tonight facing Gallen. |
|||||||
05-17-24 | Stars +102 v. Avalanche | 2-1 | Win | 102 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
Dallas is one of the best road teams in the NHL and we expect them to close this series out on Friday. The Stars have dominated the last three visits to Ball Arena, and all three of those matchups resulted in blowouts. Dallas has a +10 goal differential in those three games. Past results are not always an indication or future ones, but we do know that Dallas will not be intimidated and this team has the experience to put that Game 5 setback behind them and just go out and get the job done tonight. It looks like the Edmonton-Vancouver series could go to seven games, so there is a sense of urgency for the Stars to close this one out here and get rested up for the battle to come. |
|||||||
05-17-24 | Tigers -135 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 13-0 | Win | 100 | 11 h 23 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #929 Detroit Tigers over Arizona Diamondbacks (9:40p.m., Friday, May 17 MLB.tv) The Tigers have struggled to score runs of late, but they will breakout in this game against a weak pitcher in Ryne Nelson. Detroit has a major edge in starting pitching tonight with their ace Tarik Skubal on the mound. He is the frontrunner for the Cy Young this season in the Tarik Skubal. He has been outstanding this season in every aspect of pitching and look for another quality performance from him on Friday. His Whip of 0.86 and his strikeout to walk ratio are top notch in 2024 and he should be able to neutralize much of the Diamondback’s power especially from the left hand side of the plate. Ryne Nelson has been hit hard in his last two starts, allowing 18 hits in just over 9 innings. We have collected with Skubal early this season and will ride him tonight with this price. |
|||||||
05-15-24 | Avalanche v. Stars -140 | 5-3 | Loss | -140 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
After losing Game 1 in OT, Dallas has totally taken over this series and has a chance to close it out at home. We think they will take full advantage tonight. Colorado staged a big comeback in Game 2 but Dallas won by two after an empty netter. But then they dominated both games in Colorado with a goal differential of +7. The Av’s can’t have great team morale after those beatdowns, and Dallas has to be feeling confident they can do what they have been doing and cruise to an easy Game 5 win here. |
|||||||
05-15-24 | Cavs +15.5 v. Celtics | 98-113 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
The Cavs have covered two of the three double digit spreads they have faced in this series. It’s obvious this squad is not championship caliber, but they fight hard and we think they will go down swinging tonight. They could be missing some key players but they will play strong defense and we think they have a great chance to keep this one within double digits. |
|||||||
05-14-24 | Lynx v. Storm OVER 164.5 | 83-70 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #625 Over in Minnesota @ Seattle (10p.m., Tuesday, May 13 League Pass) The Lynx were a bad defensive team and I do not see them being any better in 2024. They did revamp their offense and so did the Storm and thus I expect some points to be scored this evening. Minnesota gave up 85 points per game last season and that was next to last in the league. Seattle was eighth in points allowed at 84.5 points per game. |
|||||||
05-14-24 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Giants | 10-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 7 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #961 Los Angeles (-1.5 RL) +100 over San Francisco (9:45p.m., Tuesday, May 14 MLB.tv) We used a top play on the Dodgers last night and won and we will go right back to the well on Tuesday. The Giants have a ton of injuries to their everyday lineup. They jumped out early last night and still could not hold it. Now the Dodgers have the edge in pitching and will take care of business again. |
|||||||
05-14-24 | Pacers v. Knicks OVER 216.5 | Top | 91-121 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
New York didn’t get their share of the total in Games 3 and 4, but the number has been adjusted downward and also the Knicks will probably have better luck on offense in Game 5, at home and after a cold shooting night in Game 4 that wasn’t all a result of Indiana defense but rather some shots that just didn’t fall. The Pacers can probably still be counted on to score their share. But we think New York will play better and this should be a competitive game as this is them most pivotal game in the series. |
|||||||
05-14-24 | Bruins v. Panthers -1.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
This series has been very one sided and we think Boston gave their last gasp at home in Game 4 but it still wasn’t good enough. Now Florida has a chance to win it in front of the home fans. The last time we were here at Amerant Bank Arena, Florida played their strongest game of the series in a 6-1 beatdown. We think this will be another one-sided game, and the Panthers should put on another show tonight. |
|||||||
05-13-24 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Giants | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 9 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #911 Los Angeles (-1.5 RL) over San Francisco (9:45p.m., Monday, May 13 MLB.tv) The Giants are not fielding a strong offensive lineup at the moment with injuries taking its toll! They suffered more injuries over the weekend to Jung Hoo Lee and Michael Conforto. I do not see them having much success scoring runs tonight against Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Jordan Hicks has to face a brutal Los Angeles lineup and look for the Dodgers to win and cover this game via the run line. |
|||||||
05-13-24 | Hurricanes v. Rangers -102 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
This line is incredibly fair for a Rangers squad that has found a way to win in close games. You get the feeling that the Hurricanes would win one along the way, but now we head back to the Big Apple and the Rangers will look to close this thing out. They have had the killer instinct in this series and have figured out how to win tight games. They have been one of the best teams in the league all season long and are peaking at the right time. They continue to get disrespected by the oddsmakers and we expect them to come out strong here after letting Game 4 slip away. |
|||||||
05-13-24 | Celtics v. Cavs UNDER 207.5 | Top | 109-102 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
We think this game can go one of two ways. Either it is a blowout from Boston or the Cavs go all out on defense and keep it close in a low scoring game. We think both outcomes bode well for the under. Cleveland can’t just let Boston run rampant on offense and they have to buckle down or they don’t stand a chance. Mitchell is questionable here and if he is limited or can’t play at all then that will hurt the Cavs offensively. We also think the Cavs understand that they can’t get in a hole early as this is not the type of team that can come back from a big deficit against the top dogs in the league. We do think the Cavs will make some adjustments from Game 3 and expect this to be one of the lowest scoring games of the series. |
|||||||
05-12-24 | Reds v. Giants -126 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #958 San Francisco over Cincinnati (4:05p.m., Sunday, May 12 MLB.tv) The Reds continue to be a sinking ship and have lost 9 of their last 10 games. They have scored just 5 total runs in the first two games of this series and will struggle to score runs in this game as well. Kyle Marrison has been pitching great of late, allowing just one run in his last 3 starts (18 innings). When he throws strikes and keeps the ball inside the fence, he is a tough pitcher to deal with. This the rubber game of this series and the Giants need it more since they are at home. |
|||||||
05-11-24 | Reds v. Giants +122 | 1-5 | Win | 122 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #910 San Francisco over Cincinnati (7:15p.m., Saturday, May 11 FOX) The Reds finally won a game on Friday ending their long losing streak. I expect them to go back to losing on Saturday in game two of this series against the Giants at Oracle Park. The Reds are 1-7 in games decided by one run and just have not been hitting during the last 10 games. The Giants will even up this series behind strong pitching and defense. |
|||||||
05-10-24 | Cubs +120 v. Pirates | 7-2 | Win | 120 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #951 Chicago over Pittsburgh (6:40, Friday, May 10 MLB.tv) The Cubs are a better team than the Pirates and should be able take care of business tonight at PNC Park. Chicago lost a series to the Padres last time out and now need to get back on track to keep pace with the Brewers. Jared Jones is going for Pittsburgh and despite pitching well his team has lost 4 of his last 6 starts. He is not getting much run support and look for that to continue tonight. |
|||||||
05-09-24 | Guardians -149 v. White Sox | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -149 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #911 Cleveland over Chicago (6:40p.m., Thursday, May 9 MLB.tv) No bet against the White Sox is a bad bet. They seem to get up playing Tampa Bay but struggle when playing any other team. They had to travel back to the Windy City and Cleveland arrived well before they did after playing a home day game yesterday. The Guardians are the stronger team and have the better all-around offense. These are two solid pitchers, but Cleveland has beaten bad teams all season long and tonight should be no different. Ben Lively has been outstanding this season and two is the most runs he has given up in any start this season. If he does that again on Thursday, we should be in good shape to collect with the money line. Erick Fedde was hit hard last time out, and I see a similar occurrence happening again on Thursday. Chicago is 15 games below Cleveland in the standings and it is only May 9th. The White Sox are tanking this year and getting this money line price is too good to pass up. |
|||||||
05-08-24 | Pacers +170 v. Knicks | 121-130 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
The Pacers had every chance to win Game 1 but the refs gave them some bad calls down the stretch. The Knicks have a short rotation and we think that will start to hurt them as this series goes on as the Pacers have more depth. Indiana should come into this one with a chip on their shoulder and we think they will be very focused after getting robbed of the win in Game 1. Nice price on the moneyline here and we think this one goes back to Indiana tied 1-1. |
|||||||
05-08-24 | Bruins v. Panthers -158 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
We don’t like to take favorites over -150 but we think it’s warranted here. Florida is the better team but they just weren’t prepared for Game 1 and now they are in sort of a must win position here. They allowed Boston to do what they wanted offensively but we think they will lock down on defense here and hold the Bruins to a respectable score. They will make the necessary adjustments tonight and should win a low scoring contest. |
|||||||
05-08-24 | Red Sox v. Braves -1.5 | 0-5 | Win | 104 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #982 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Boston (7:20p.m., Wednesday, April 8 MLB.tv) Chris Sale will be pumped for this game, getting to face his former team tonight in the ATL. Sale has been strong of late throwing a quality start in 3 straight stars and I look for another one tonight. Nick Pivetta has been strong early this season as well, but it has come in limited action. Sale is be able to offset much of the prop from the Red Sox left handed hitters. |
|||||||
05-07-24 | Red Sox v. Braves -1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 120 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #928 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Boston (7:20p.m., Tuesday, May 7 MLB.tv) The Braves got swept by the Dodgers over the weekend and look for them to bounce back on Tuesday at home. Both pitchers have been solid this season but the difference will be the strength of the Atlanta lineup. Soon they will break out and start scoring runs and tonight will be a step in that direction. Atlanta is 11-5 at home this season. |
|||||||
05-07-24 | Hurricanes v. Rangers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
It’s telling that even though Game 1 saw seven goals scored that the under at 5.5 is still juiced here. Seems like the bookies are begging the public to take the over. We will side with the sportsbooks here. Four of the last six meetings have gone over the posted total. Some of these series in the NHL have some scoring early while teams are figuring each other out then the defenses step up in subsequent games, and that is what we expect to see here. Especially in Game 1 there was a burst of scoring in the first period then the game settled down after that. We expect a close, low scoring game here. |
|||||||
05-07-24 | Cavs v. Celtics -12.5 | 95-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
Cleveland got blown out of the water in their first two games in Orlando and we can’t imagine what a rested Celtics team will do to them, especially after coming off a 7-game series with Orlando. Boston got a great matchup here as they avoided the Pacers and Knicks, both who would have presented more of a challenge in the second round. The Cavs are probably not mentally over their last series and this team has looked mentally weak at times in this playoffs, especially those two games in Orlando in which they didn’t even show up. We have to think Boston will want to make a statement here. |
|||||||
05-06-24 | Angels v. Pirates -155 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #968 Pittsburgh over Los Angeles (6:40p.m., Monday, May 6 MLB.tv) The Angels are a sinking ship, and no manager is able to turn around this roster. Injuries have taken their toll on them, and they will struggle to win many games the rest of the season. Mitch Keller is not off to a great start this season, but he is a veteran and should be able to right the ship against this lineup. |
|||||||
05-05-24 | Tigers +110 v. Yankees | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 52 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #911 Detroit over New York (1:35p.m., Sunday, May 5 MLB.tv) Getting the best pitcher in the American League at an underdog price is too good to pass up on Sunday. Tarik Skubal is 4-0 on the season with a 1.72 E.R.A. He has a WHIP of 0.74 and has just six walks in over 36 innings of work. Nestor Cortes has good numbers as well, but he is not in the same league compared to Skubal. |
|||||||
05-04-24 | White Sox v. Cardinals -1.5 | 6-5 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #372 St Louis (-1.5 RL) +120 over Chicago (2:15p.m., Saturday, May 4 MLB.tv) No bet against the White Sox is a bad bet this season. Chicago did not score any runs yesterday and I see a similar situation today. |
|||||||
05-03-24 | Stars -109 v. Golden Knights | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 27 m | Show |
Dallas is the hungry team and Vegas is a great team but after winning the championship they don’t have the same fire. And we think that will be evident on the ice tonight as Dallas advances. This is just a nightmare first round matchup for the Knights and Dallas clearly has the momentum here with three straight wins and two straight in this building. We think both defenses will be on point here but that Dallas will separate themselves in the third period. |
|||||||
05-03-24 | Clippers +8 v. Mavs | Top | 101-114 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
These teams always find a way to Game 7 and we think the Clippers will leave everything on the floor tonight. There are big issues for LA as a franchise if they bow out in six games in the first round and this team is built to withstand an injury to one of their two stars. They have won two of three in Dallas and we think they won’t be intimidated here. Dallas can be streaky and we don’t see them dominating two straight games. And the Clippers know if they can somehow win this series that Kawhi could be back at some point in Round 2 and then they would have a serious chance at a championship run. We see a close, high-scoring game here and LA has a legit chance to win in our opinion. |
|||||||
05-03-24 | Brewers v. Cubs -120 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -120 | 4 h 25 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #902 Chicago over Milwaukee (2:20p.m., Friday, May 3 MLB.tv) TOP MLB PLAY OF THE WEEK Big series for the top two teams in the NL Central as Craig Counsell faces his former team for the first time in the regular season. Both teams have a key player out, but the Cubs are 10-3 at Wrigley Field this season. Joe Ross was hit hard last time out giving up 6 earned runs in just five innings of work. He is also 0-4 in his career against the Cubs. The Cubs will be starting a semi-opener in Hayden Wesneski and I look for him to be successful with around 5 innings of work in this game. The Cubs need this game more since it is at home and trail Milwaukee in the standings. Look for the Cubs to give Counsil a win on Friday afternoon. |
|||||||
05-02-24 | Giants +105 v. Red Sox | 3-1 | Win | 105 | 3 h 39 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #959 San Francisco +100 over Boston (1:35p.m., Thursday, May 2 MLB.tv) Just do not believe the Red Sox are good enough to sweep the Giants. Kyle Harrison has been solid over his last three starts with the Giants winning the game in each of them. The Red Sox are still under .500 at home this season and the Giants need to right the ship. |
|||||||
05-01-24 | Heat +14.5 v. Celtics | Top | 84-118 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
The Celtics have rolled in three of the four games of this series but this is an elimination game and the Heat will leave it all on the court. They have the better coach at the end of their bench and we think he will cook up a game plan to keep them competitive with the limited players they have on the court. Boston is probably due for a letdown game, especially after losing Porzingis for a good chunk of the second round. We consider a double-digit win a blowout, and we can het blown out here and still cover. But we think the Heat will play hard and with pride here and keep this within double digits. |
|||||||
05-01-24 | Golden Knights v. Stars -149 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
Vegas had won six straight meetings, but Dallas had taken over momentum in this series and they have now won two straight. They are the better team and we think this game will be like handing over the torch as the Stars have a real chance to win it all this year after just missing the Finals last season. We rarely take favorites of more than -150, but we think this price is warranted and you have to bet it when you see value. Dallas has the Knights on the ropes and we think they will deliver another blow tonight. |
|||||||
05-01-24 | Twins -1.5 v. White Sox | 10-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 34 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take Minnesota (-1.5 RL) over Chicago (2:10p.m., Wednesday, May 1 MLB.tv) The White Sox have been playing a little better over the last week, but they blew the game last night and I see them struggling on Wednesday. Both of Minnesota’s victory have won by 1 run, but they have won 9 straight games and are clearly the better team in this game. Bailey Ober should be able to do just enough to go deep into this game and take advantage of a lot of run support. |
|||||||
04-30-24 | Giants -126 v. Red Sox | 0-4 | Loss | -126 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #969 San Francisco over Boston (7:10p.m., Tuesday, April 30 MLBN) We are backing Logan Webb tonight. He has been outstanding in his last four starts, giving up just 3 runs in his last 29 innings of work. Boston has a banged up lineup with not a lot of power and expect them to struggle to score tonight against the Giants ace. Boston will scrape out some hits, but I do not see them having much success and putting up crooked numbers. Cooper Criswell has been good this season but he will not be able to go deep into this game. |
|||||||
04-29-24 | Stars v. Golden Knights +111 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Dallas got their first win in seven meetings, in OT, last time out. This team just got a nightmare first round matchup with the defending champs, who have switched into another gear in the playoffs. They match up well with the Stars and we think they have Dallas on the ropes and this team knows what they have to do to win this series. |
|||||||
04-29-24 | Reds v. Padres -103 | 5-2 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #908 San Diego over Cincinnati (9:40p.m., Monday, April 29 MLB.tv) The Reds are in the middle of a brutal road trip against top teams in the league. They lost 2 of 3 to Texas and now travel to San Diego for the first of three games. The Padres got swept by the Phillies and need to right the ship on Monday. Matt Waldron has pitched well this season with a giving up just 3 combined earned runs in his last 2 starts. |
|||||||
04-29-24 | Thunder -4.5 v. Pelicans | 97-89 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
The Thunder look every bit the No. 1 seed and they have made it look easy in this series so far. They got off to a slow start in Game 1 but then they have turned it on and dominated. The Pelicans are an incomplete team without their best player, and they can’t have a lot of team morale going on the court tonight. OKC will pull ahead in the fourth quarter and win this one comfortably. |
|||||||
04-28-24 | Royals v. Tigers -154 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 6 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #962 Detroit over Kansas City (1:40p.m., Sunday, April 28 MLB.tv) Tarik Skubal has been outstanding this season with a 1.82. E.R.A. and a 0.74 WHIP. In two of his last three starts he did not allow a run and has a 7 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio. I am surprised that Micael Wacha is still in the league. He has been better this season, but I do not have any confidence he can sustain any type of success over the course of a six-month season. This is the rubber game of this series and I do not feel the Tigers want to lose a series at home to the Royals. Detroit grinded out a hard-fought victory on Saturday and should have an easier time on Sunday. |
|||||||
04-27-24 | Reds v. Rangers -125 | 8-4 | Loss | -125 | 5 h 10 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #920 Texas -125 over Cincinnati (4:10p.m., Saturday, April 27 FOX) We used this play last night and look for another cash on Saturday. The pitching stats earlier in the season favor the home team with Michael Lorenzen pitching well in limited action this season. Hunter Green has struggled with a high hit rate to go along with lots of strikeouts. Cincinnati has a team full of low average hitters and they will struggle again to score runs on Saturday. |
|||||||
04-26-24 | Reds v. Rangers -159 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #974 Texas -160 over Cincinnati (8:05p.m., Friday, April 26 MLB.tv) The Reds were shutout yesterday and now travel to Texas to face another strong pitcher in Natan Eovaldi. He has a solid 3.30 E.R.A. on the season and I look forward to a strong showing on Friday after he struggled against the Braves last time out. His counterpart, Graham Ashcraft has been hit hard most of the season. Two of his last three starts he has given up five earned runs in just over five innings of work. The Reds have taken advantage of a soft schedule to open the season and expect them to struggle on this road trip starting tonight. |
|||||||
04-26-24 | Rangers v. Capitals UNDER 5.5 | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 15 m | Show |
After going under in Game 1, Game 2 saw seven goals scored. We firmly believe that will be the highest total in this series. The Capitals have been competitive this season despite an anemic offense. They have gotten by on the strength of their defense, and they are going to need that defense to step up tonight if they want a chance to stay alive here. A loss would have them on the brink of elimination. They definitely have the ability to step up on defense here but we just don’t see them racking up the goals like they did in Game 2. We also don’t see the Rangers having their way on offense like they did in their first two games at home. We just think the home team plays their best defensive game of the series here at home whether they win or lose. |
|||||||
04-26-24 | Bucks v. Pacers -6 | 118-121 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
We liked the Bucks to flame out in the playoffs even before the Freak went down with injury. Now we think it will likely be in the first round. The Lillard acquisition was a bad one for Milwaukee, and it has hurt their defense, while the offense hasn’t been consistent. The Pacers don’t play much defense either, but that isn’t their focus. And their offense is consistent. They match up really well with the Bucks and have won five of the last seven meetings, including a high stakes in season tourney game. We think they win this comfortably. |
|||||||
04-25-24 | Knicks v. 76ers OVER 204 | Top | 114-125 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show |
Both Games 1 and 2 went over this total, and we expect Game 3 to do the same. We expect another close game and expect both teams to get their points. With the way Game 2 ended, overtime would not be out of the realm of possibility. But we don’t think we will need OT here to cash this ticket. The Knicks are no longer anemic on offense and this team can put up some points. They have scored over 110 in 7 of their last 9 games. They scored 120 or more in four of those. Jalen Brunson is a threat to have a big scoring night at ant time, and he seems like the type of player that will step up in a game like this. We don’t think the Sixers can rely on defense to get the win here. So they will need to execute on offense. We expect both teams to get their share of the total tonight, and both teams should surpass the century mark just as they did in the first two games of this series. |
|||||||
04-25-24 | Panthers -102 v. Lightning | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
Getting a great price here on arguably the best team in the NHL. They will miss Sam Bennett tonight, but they have plenty of firepower to get the job done. They will have plenty of firepower in their arsenal. And this is a regional rivalry so they never feel far from home playing in Tampa Bay. In fact, they have won the last three meetings in Tampa Bay. And only one of them was close. They had a goal differential of +11 in those three games. Tampa Bay is a very solid team but they have been slowly getting worse since their epic championship runs. This is a crucial game and they can basically land the death blow to the Lightning by going up 3-0 after Tampa Bay blew their chance in Game 2 in OT. |

04-25-24 | Phillies -1.5 v. Reds | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 29 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #903 Philadelphia (-1.5 RL) over Cincinnati (1:10p.m., Thursday, April 25 ESPN+) All three games in this series have been easily covered by the run line and the Phillies will try and make it 3 of 4 wins in the Queen City. Zack Wheeler has been a tough luck loser thus far in 2024. He has a 1-3 win/loss record but a 0.89 WHIP and a 2.30 E.R.A. Nick Martinez has pitched better of late, but this will be the strongest lineup he has faced this season and also does not give the Reds much depth. Lay the run line with the better team on Thursday. |
|||||||
04-24-24 | Kings v. Oilers UNDER 6 | 5-4 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Crazy score for Game 1 but we just don’t see a repeat here. It’s telling that the oddsmakers didn’t raise the total to 6.5. The Kings are one of the best defensive teams in the league and you know they are embarrassed for allowing seven goals. We think they do everything in their power to hold Edmonton to a real low score. Four straight meetings before Game 1 went under the posted total and we think both teams step up the defense here in this critical Game 2. |
|||||||
04-24-24 | White Sox v. Twins OVER 6.5 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #975 Over Chicago @ Minnesota (7:40p.m., Wednesday, April 24 MLB.tv) Not too often you see a total this low in MLB. The White Sox are terrible but they did score 5 runs last night. I see them getting at least 3 runs tonight and that should put us in good shape to collect since Minnesota is a big favorite in this game. Weather should not be that big of a issues to prevent runs from being scored in this game. |
|||||||
04-24-24 | Heat +15 v. Celtics | Top | 111-101 | Win | 100 | 6 h 55 m | Show |
Just don’t see the Heat getting blown out by Boston in consecutive games. This total is crazy low at 203.5 at the time of this writing. With such a low total, every point for the underdog is more valuable. We agree this will be a low scoring game and we think the Heat will keep this competitive on the strength of their defense. This Miami team is banged up right now but they play with a lot of heart and are well coached. They will have a plan coming into this game and they aren’t going to just roll over tonight. And we have to remember that it is the Heat who have played in two Finals in recent years while this super team from Boston has been to only one. It’s telling that the bookies have not adjusted the line since the Celtics covered in Game 1 and we think the public is all over Boston here and we will side with the sportsbooks and count on the Miami defense to pull some tricks out of their sleeve and keep this one competitive. |
|||||||
04-23-24 | Avalanche v. Jets UNDER 6.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
We saw 13 goals in Game 1. While it’s tough to go under here after that result, we don’t think either team wants to give up goals like that and play that kind of defense so we think these teams will put an emphasis on defense here for Game 2. Before Game 2, the losing team had two or fewer goals in six straight meetings. We see a close, low-scoring game here and it’s telling that the total is only 6 here after what we saw in Game 1. Lots of public bettors will be jumping on the over. |
|||||||
04-23-24 | Pacers +1.5 v. Bucks | 125-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
The Pacers were off on their shooting in Game 1 but that was one of their worst offensive games in forever and we just think they are more competitive tonight. We lean towards them to win the series still as the Bucks have seemed like a team that will flame out in the postseason – mainly because of their defense. They played a strong defensive game last time out but without their best player on the court we think it will be tough for them to go up 2-0, and the Pacers should be able to score the ball a lot better tonight. We think they have a great chance to steal this one. |
|||||||
04-23-24 | A's v. Yankees -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #920 New York (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (7:05p.m., Tuesday, April 23 MLB.tv) The Yankees are upset with how the game went yesterday with the home plate umpire and expect them to come out mad in this game. The Yankees are not hitting well and need to break out in this series against a poor team. I expect them to dominate tonight and cover the run line in the process. |
|||||||
04-21-24 | Mavs -1 v. Clippers | Top | 97-109 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 56 m | Show |
Some say that Dallas will dominate this series and it will be an early end for the Clippers and another disappointing season. But we see this series being long and drawn out, like these teams always tend to do when they meet in the playoffs, The Mavs normally get the early jump on LA, then the Clippers rally late in the series. With word Kawhi Leonard may be able to come back later in the series, this script could play out again. But here for Game 1 we see the Mavs dominating. They are incredibly hot heading into the postseason and they have the upper hand here. The Clippers sputtered down the stretch. We think they will figure some things out later in the series, but Game 1 will be all Dallas. |
|||||||
04-21-24 | Capitals v. Rangers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 72 h 21 m | Show |
These teams have gone under in three of four meetings. We think the Capitals are in tough here and we don’t see them notching more than a goal. They have scored only one in each of the last two visits to MSG, and the Rangers will undoubtedly ramp up their defensive intensity now that these games matter much more. The Capitals are here on the strength of their defense, and we think they will lean on the defense here as their offense won’t give them a chance to be competitive in a shootout. We think the Rangers score enough to win comfortably but not surpass the total here today. |
|||||||
04-21-24 | White Sox v. Phillies -1.5 | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take Philadelphia (-1.5 RL) -140 over Chicago (1:35p.m., Sunday, April 21 MLB.tv) The White Sox are 3-17 on the season and now have to face one of the Phillies aces on Sunday on the road. The South Sides have been outscored 16-5 in this series so far and this will be the toughest pitcher that they will face in this series. |
|||||||
04-20-24 | Maple Leafs v. Bruins -121 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 54 h 33 m | Show | |
Toronto backed into the playoffs and have lost four straight entering the postseason. They have a nightmare matchup in the first round against a Boston team that wants redemption after an early exit at the hands of the Panthers last season. The Bruins have won seven straight in this series, We had this one handicapped at a much higher number and we think Boston will set the tone for the series in Game 1. |
|||||||
04-20-24 | Suns +1.5 v. Wolves | 95-120 | Loss | -110 | 49 h 57 m | Show | |
We have had the opinion all season that the Timberwolves are a regular season club but they will flame out in the playoffs. On the other end of the spectrum, the Suns had a disappointing regulars season, but this team is built for the postseason. Phoenix has covered in nine straight meetings. They have won eight of those outright. We think this is a bad matchup for the Wolves in the first round. Seeding is thrown out the window if you can win the first game on the road, and we think there’s a great chance that happens in Game 1. |
|||||||
04-20-24 | Marlins v. Cubs -143 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -143 | 4 h 31 m | Show |
4 Unit Play. Take #954 Chicago -145 over Miami (2:20p.m., Saturday, April 20 MLB.tv) The Marlins are one of the worst teams in the league and fading them at this price is too good to pass up. Javier Assad has been outstanding thus far in 2024 with a 2.16 E.R.A. to go along with a 0.96 WHIP. Jesus Luzardo has struggled thus far despite a high strikeout rate. He has given up 5 home runs in 20 innings of work and has a 1.55 WHIP. Florida is 4-16 on the season and Chicago is 6-1 at Wrigley Field. Do not mind laying price since the Cubs are just a better team in every facet of the game. |
|||||||
04-19-24 | Kings v. Pelicans | 98-105 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 48 m | Show | |
Sacramento is playing really well at the moment and we think they deserve a playoff spot. They ended the Warriors dynasty in their first playoff game and they looked confident and were extremely effective on both ends of the court. The Pelicans can’t have a lot of confidence right now after their best player went down. They have lost five straight home games and their prospects aren’t looking good here. We had the Kings handicapped at -4.5 here, so we think there is excellent value and we think there is a great chance they win by a lot more than that. |
|||||||
04-19-24 | Angels +115 v. Reds | 1-7 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #921 Los Angeles over Cincinnati (6:40p.m., Friday, April 19 MLB.tv) The Angels are now a competent team under Ron Washington and have their best pitcher thus far on the mound in Tyler Anderson. He is been great this season with a 0.98 WHIP and a 1.47 E.R.A. The Reds just got swept by the Mariners and I expect them to struggle against another AL West team tonight in the Queen’s City. |
|||||||
04-17-24 | Reds v. Mariners -127 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #930 Seattle over Cincinnati (4:10p.m., Wednesday, April 17 MLB.tv) The Mariners are going for the sweep of the Reds on Wednesday afternoon and have the right person the mound in Bryce Miller. He has pitched outstanding this season, especially in his last two starts going 13 1/3 innings and allowing just 1 unearned run. Look for more of the same on Tuesday, as the M’s complete the sweep in what likely will be a low scoring pitching duel. |
|||||||
04-16-24 | Guardians v. Red Sox -109 | 10-7 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #972 Boston over Cleveland (7:10p.m., Tuesday, April 16 MLB.tv) The Red Sox have a winning record on the season despite going 2-5 in their first 7 games at Fenway Park. That needs to change and look for them to win tonight as they have the edge in starting pitching. Tanner Bibee has been hit hard in two of his three starts and I see that happening to him as well in this one. Garrett Whitlock has been outstanding this season with a low E.R.A. and WHIP. Look for both trends to hold true on Tuesday, as the Red Sox even up this series at one game apiece. |
|||||||
04-15-24 | Yankees v. Blue Jays OVER 8.5 | 1-3 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take Over in New York @ Toronto (7:07p.m., Monday, April 15 MLB.tv) The pitchers in this game will have a tough time containing the offenses of each team. Luis Gil has walked 7 batters in just 9 innings of work. Chris Bassitt has a WHIP of 1.81 and that means the Yankees should put a ton of traffic on the bases. We will not worry about who wins this game and just focus on the over. |
|||||||
04-15-24 | Islanders -115 v. Devils | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
The Islanders are playing as well as anyone right now. They have won six of seven, and the lone loss was last time out at the Rangers. They take a big step down in competition here against the already-eliminated Devils, and New York will want to keep their momentum going into the postseason, where anything can happen. This team was once lest for dead, but they are now a contender, and we like them to keep in going on Monday. |
|||||||
04-14-24 | Avalanche v. Golden Knights -108 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 25 m | Show | |
The home team has won three straight in this series, and we look for more of the same here on Sunday. Colorado is coming in on a back-to-back and Vegas has more rest. Vegas has been in better form over their last 10 games. Colorado was completely embarrassed last night at home with a 7-0 loss to Winnipeg, and that was their third loss in four games. Vegas barely broke a sweat in their 7-2 win over Minnesota on Friday, and they will be ready here today! |
|||||||
04-14-24 | Hawks v. Pacers -14 | Top | 115-157 | Win | 100 | 1 h 58 m | Show |
This is a very important game for the Pacers. They need to win here to stake their claim to a playoff spot and avoid the play in tournament. If they make the playoffs, they will have plenty of time off before their first round matchup. So they have to go all out here. Atlanta plays mid week in their play in game and all their focus is on that matchup. They don’t want to expend too much energy here or risk injury. And Indiana is a team that can really pour on the points, so we don’t think they will have any trouble getting the cover here. |
|||||||
04-13-24 | Canucks +115 v. Oilers | 3-1 | Win | 115 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
When Canadian teams meet up we always like to look at the underdog to see if they have value, since these games are always rivalries. And tonight fits the bill. The Canucks have won three straight in this series. They are well rested, while Edmonton comes in on a back-to-back. Not only that, but they lost to Arizona in OT and this will be their third game in four nights. |
|||||||
04-13-24 | Braves -1.5 v. Marlins | 1-5 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #906 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) -120 over Miami (4:10p.m., Saturday, April 13 MLB.tv) Chris Sale in on the mound as the Braves look to take the first two of this series. Miami is one of the worst teams in the league in 2024 and now they have to face one of the best teams that will challenge for a World Series spot come October. |
|||||||
04-12-24 | Jazz v. Clippers -15 | Top | 110-109 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
It’s fade city for Utah tonight. We sometimes mention a team being Fat and Happy. That is when a poor team gets a big win that wasn’t expected and they usually rest on their laurels and come out flat in the next couple contests. This is the case for Utah tonight as they are on a back-to-back after winning in Houston last night as a double-digit underdog. Utah has a very thin roster with injured starters and this is a very tough back-to-back, no matter who plays for the Clippers. LA has a very deep roster and they have something to play for as seeing is still a factor for the first round. This win for Utah last night was their first in 14 games, and they have covered only four games during this stretch despite very generous odds from the bookies. These teams played here earlier this month, without Kawhi, and the win and cover were never in question for LA. We think this will be a one-sided game from the opening tip. |
|||||||
04-12-24 | Cubs v. Mariners OVER 8 | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #977 Over in Chicago Cubs @ Seattle Mariners (9:40p.m., Friday, April 12 Apple TV) The Mariners got back on track on Wednesday exploding in extra innings and I look for that to carry over into this game on Friday. They get to face former first round pick Jordan Wicks, a lefty that should be hit hard tonight since most of the Mariners pop comes from the ride hand side of the plate. Wicks has a high WHIP and Miller gives up the long ball. That should set up a strong play with the over tonight. We will not worry about who wins this pick’em game and instead just focus on the total. Chicago has already accumulated over 100 hits as a team this season. I see too much traffic on the bases for this game to not go over the posted number. |
|||||||
04-12-24 | Coyotes v. Oilers -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
The Oilers have won seven straight in this series and eight of nine. Six of those wins came by multiple goals. This team has been very solid on the puckline at home, and we think they get the job done here in a big way on home ice. Edmonton has won three straight and they look to be getting playoff ready. They beat the Knights, Flames and Avs, and all with a goal differential of +10 and covered the puckline in all those games. Now they take a step down in class and we expect a similar result. |
|||||||
04-11-24 | Knicks -2.5 v. Celtics | Top | 118-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
Love the Knicks in this spot. The Celtics have nothing but pride to play for, while the Knicks need this game for seeding, With the new NBA playoff format with the play in tourney, there is no momentum for teams already set in the bracket, so we don’t think Boston cares at all about this game or if they lose out for the regular season as long as they are healthy for the playoffs. The Knicks are legit championship contenders this year and we think they bring their A Game here tonight. |
|||||||
04-11-24 | Orioles v. Red Sox OVER 8.5 | 9-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #913 Over in Baltimore @ Boston (7:10p.m., Thursday, April 11 MLBN) The Birds have scored 7 runs in each of the first two games and expect a big number from them on Thursday. Both pitchers have started off well this season, but these lineups are too strong for them to keep it up in this game. Play the over and we will not worry about who wins this pick’em game. |
|||||||
04-11-24 | Capitals v. Sabres -129 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
Nice value here on the Sabres at home. Last time these teams met here, just earlier this month, it was a 6-2 Buffalo win. The Sabres also scored a blowout in the Capitals previous visit as well, and we think they match up well here. Buffalo has been playing very well at home recently and we see the pattern continuing tonight. |
|||||||
04-10-24 | Marlins v. Yankees OVER 8.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -112 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #977 Over in Miami @ New York (7:05p.m., Wednesday, April 10 Prime) Both games so far have stayed under the posted total and thus I expect the series finale to go over the posted total. The Yankees missed a ton of chances last night to score run and look for them to cash in tonight. Marcus Stroman pitched well in his last game but gave up 3 runs in his first start this season. If he does that again on Thursday, we should be able to cash with the over. The Yankees will be facing a left-handed pitcher for the second straight day and look for them to hit Ryan Weathers hard in his game. Neither team played very good defense last night and that should help us with the over as well. |
|||||||
04-09-24 | Knicks -4.5 v. Bulls | Top | 128-117 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show |
This is a quick revenge spot as the Knicks lost to the Bulls by 8 here on Friday. The Bulls don’t have much chance to rise above the play in tourney, while the Knicks can definitely drop into the play in. So they have the motivational edge tonight along with revenge. They have won and covered in four of the last six meetings, and we will give them a mulligan for the poor performance on Friday and expect them to bounce back strong here. They are also fairly healthy tonight, while the Bulls have a long injury list and could be missing key players tonight. |
|||||||
04-09-24 | Rangers v. Islanders +117 | 2-4 | Win | 117 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Not only is this a rivalry game but this is pretty much a must win for the home squad. We think they will bring their A Game in what is one of their biggest games of the season. They will come into this one confident on a four-game winning streak and their playoff position is far from set in stone as there are a host of teams hot on their tail. We think this game means a lot more for the home team tonight. |
|||||||
04-09-24 | Marlins v. Yankees -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #928 New York (-1.5 RL) +110 over Miami (7:05p.m., Tuesday, April 9 MLB.tv) No bet against the Marlins is a bad bet early in the 2024 season. They have numerous pitching injuries and have struggled to be competitive in most of their games this season. A.J. Puk has given the Marlins no depth this season pitching just 6 innings in two starts and giving up 8 runs in those outings (6 earned runs). He has more walks than strikeouts and this is the best hitting lineup he has faced in 2024. Look for the Yankees to jump out early and cruise to a victory and we will take advantage of an underdog price. |
|||||||
04-08-24 | Marlins v. Yankees OVER 8 | 0-7 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #971 Over 8 in Miami @ New York (6:05p.m., Monday, April 8 MLBN) The Marlins are a terrible pitching and defensive team. The Yankees have a loaded lineup and expect both teams to score some runs in this game. Miami’s only chance to win would be a slugfest and that sets up nicely for a strong play on the over. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
04-06-24 | Pistons v. Nets -8.5 | 103-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
Detroit is not a deep team by any means and not only are they on a back-to-back, but they are playing their third game in four nights. The Nets have had two nights off. Brooklyn has been eliminated as well but they will want to finish the season strong and should take this game seriously and this is one they should win by double digits. |
|||||||
04-06-24 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens +1.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -145 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
This is one of the biggest rivalries in sports and the Canadiens have either won or lost by a goal in eight of the last ten meetings. This is their Super Bowl and since they aren’t going to the playoffs, this game is much more important to them than the Leafs. And Montreal has been one of the best puckline teams in the league this season. They are 24-14 at home ATS and 48-27 ATS overall. The Leafs are 17-20 ATS on the road. We have to lay some juice here but we expect a close game and it would not surprise us to see the home team win outright. |
|||||||
04-06-24 | Mets +106 v. Reds | 6-9 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #957 New York +105 over Cincinnati (4:10p.m., Saturday, April 6 MLB.tv) We used the Mets with a similar line last night and collected and we will try and hit another underdog winner on Saturday. The Reds pitching should allow the Mets to break out of their offensive funk and follow-up their winning performance last night. |
|||||||
04-04-24 | Guardians v. Twins -148 | 4-2 | Loss | -148 | 5 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #956 Minnesota over Cleveland (4:10p.m., Thursday, April 4 MLB Extra Innings) Cleveland is off to a great start this season but that is what should happen when you play Oakland early in the season. Minnesota is coming off a split with the Brewers and now has their home opener and the right person on the mound. Pablo Lopez was outstanding in his first start of the season and look from another strong showing on Thursday. |
|||||||
04-03-24 | Cavs v. Suns -5.5 | 101-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
The Suns have been one of the worst ATS teams this season but they seem to be making a playoff push and are playing some of their most inspired basketball of the season. They have covered in five of their last seven, and they catch the Cavs on a B2B and Mitchell is questionable after missing their game against Utah last night. We think Phoenix is just in better form right now, and these back-to-backs, especially on the road, really start to take their toll here at this point of the season. |
|||||||
04-03-24 | Devils v. Rangers -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
The Rangers are the much better team than last year when the Devils beat them in an epic playoff series. The Rangers have been getting revenge every time these teams meet, as all the games this season have been multiple-goal wins. The Devils have looked awful lately in multi-goal losses to Pittsburgh and Buffalo. It doesn’t get any easier tonight. With both teams at their best, and both should be motivated tonight, the Rangers score another multi-goal win. |
|||||||
04-02-24 | Cardinals v. Padres OVER 7.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #955 Over in St Louis @ San Diego (9:40p.m., Tuesday, April 2 MLB Extra Innings) The Padres have exploded on offense multiple times this season especially when they are coming off a loss in their previous game. I look for that to happen again on Tuesday, as neither one of the these starting pitchers impress me that much. |
|||||||
04-02-24 | Cavs v. Jazz +12 | Top | 129-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
The Jazz stink and are missing some key players here, but this is simply too many points. The Jazz still have some players that can compete, and they have one of the better home court advantages in the NBA. Despite players in and out of the lineup, they have played well enough at home recently to keep games close and haven’t lost by more than 10 in four straight, including games against the Mavs and Timberwolves. Cleveland has covered in only one of their last seven games, so the oddsmakers have them a bit overvalued recently. We think the home team keeps this one within double digits. |
|||||||
04-02-24 | Ducks v. Flames UNDER 6 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -101 | 8 h 19 m | Show |
Anaheim just can’t score right now. They have notched only 12 goals in their last 10 games. They put up a goose egg in four of those games as they couldn’t even muster a single goal. They are in tough tonight at Calgary, and we don’t see them breaking out here. Looks like they will have to rely on defense to stay competitive. They have been a bit inconsistent but overall they have been playing solid D, and they held the Canucks to only three goals last time out. Calgary hasn’t exactly been lighting the lamp themselves, and they have scored two or fewer in four of their last six. Four of the last five have gone under when these teams meet, and the last meeting was a 3-0 Calgary win. We expect a similar type game here. |
|||||||
04-01-24 | Kings +109 v. Jets | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
The Kings have won three of the last four meetings and they have won three straight in Winnipeg. This is one of the best road teams in the NHL and their defense should get them through to the win tonight. The Jets are in a freefall and have lost six straight. They have scored only 10 goals in that stretch. The Kings have been in better form even though they have lost two straight, but they have won four of six and this should be a good spot for them to get back on track tonight. |
|||||||
04-01-24 | Blazers +16.5 v. Magic | 103-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
Whenever we see a line this high, we always try and figure out a reason to take the underdog. And we like the Blazers to keep this somewhat close tonight. Even if this one is a blowout, we can cash the ticket with this many points, and a backdoor cover is always in the mix. The reason we like the Blazers here is because of the very low total. In a low-scoring game, every point becomes all the more valuable. Portland had one of their worst games of the season last time out but have had a couple days off and we think we see a more focused effort here tonight. |
|||||||
04-01-24 | Pirates +106 v. Nationals | 8-4 | Win | 106 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #903 Pittsburgh over Washington (4:05p.m., Monday, April 1 MLB Extra Innings) The Nationals have their home opener on Monday, but I see the Pirates winning their fifth straight game. Pittsburgh got off to a hot start last season and are doing the same thing in 2024. The Pirates are really hitting the baseball this season scoring at least 6 runs in all of their games. That should be good enough to win today in the District. |

03-31-24 | Lakers v. Nets +6.5 | 116-104 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
The Nets have won two straight in this series, and we think they will challenge for the win today. The Lakers are banged up and we don’t yet know who will suit up. Even with the Lakers at full strength, we think Brooklyn will play well at home. The Nets are still alive but their season is on life support and this is essentially a must win game. They have won three straight and are playing well at the moment. And the Lakers have been a lousy team all season on the road, where they are 14-21 on the season. |

03-31-24 | NC State v. Duke -7 | 76-64 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 34 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #658 Duke -7 over NC State (5:05p.m., Sunday, March 31 CBS) The Elite 8 is the round most Cinderella teams go to die. NC State has not beaten Duke twice in a season since 1995. I do not see it happening on Sunday, as Duke makes the Final 4. |

03-31-24 | Ducks v. Canucks UNDER 6 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 102 | 3 h 17 m | Show |
Both teams have struggled offensively lately and especially the Ducks, who will have to rely on defense to stay competitive in this one. They have been shut out in four of their last nine games and scored 11 goals total in those nine games. It’s doubtful they are going to break out for a big day here. They have had a couple bad games defensively during that stretch but have generally been decent in defense, keeping the opposition from lighting up the scoreboard. Vancouver has been held to three or fewer goals in four of their last six games, and their offense isn’t exactly humming right now. We think they will get their goals, but nothing too crazy. They haven’t scored more than three goals in any of the last five meetings, and all of those games went under. |

03-31-24 | Twins -114 v. Royals | 0-11 | Loss | -114 | 3 h 39 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #969 Minnesota -115 over Kansas City (2:10p.m., Sunday, March 31 MLB Extra Innings) The Twins should challenge again for the top spot in the AL Central and are looking to start off the season with a sweep of the Royals on the road. The Twins have only given up 2 runs thus far and if they do that again it should be another easy victory. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

03-30-24 | Guardians -127 v. A's | 12-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #919 Cleveland -130 over Oakland (4:07p.m., Saturday, March 30 MLB Extra Innings) I guess you need to fade Oakland until they show they can actually win a game. They have no fanbase, payroll, or adequate stadium. Look for Cleveland to win the first three games of the season. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

03-29-24 | NC State +6.5 v. Marquette | Top | 67-58 | Win | 100 | 21 h 9 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #643 NC State over Marquette (7:09p.m., Friday, March 29 CBS) We collected going against Marquette last week and feel we will be able to cash another ticket on Friday night. This is a lot of points to be laying, and the ACC has already proven they should have had more teams make the field of 68. NC State has some size that they can use to their advantage, and I feel they will get this game close late in the second half and take it down to the wire. Take the points in the first Sweet 16 game on Friday. |

03-28-24 | Bucks v. Pelicans OVER 224.5 | 100-107 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
The over has hit in seven straight meetings, and we expect another high scoring affair here. Milwaukee has been playing well offensively and has scored 114 or more in six straight games. Just like the oddsmakers, we expect a very close game here and we think both teams will get their points, and overtime is not out of the realm of possibility. We see a similar type of result to the Pelicans last game against OKC here at home that easily went over the total. |
|||||||
03-28-24 | Sharks v. Wild -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
The Sharks are a dumpster fire and their only close game in their last eight was a home overtime loss to the Blackhawks. All other seven games were multiple goal losses. This team badly wants the offseason to arrive so they can reset last season. They waived the white flag on the season at the trade deadline, and team morale is nonexistent right now. The Wild are on the outside looking in of the playoff picture and can’t afford a loss here. |

03-28-24 | San Diego State v. Connecticut -10.5 | Top | 52-82 | Win | 100 | 26 h 13 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #634 Connecticut over San Diego State (7:39p.m., Thursday, March 28 TBS) This is a rematch of the 2023 National Championship, and I feel it will be another side sided affair. San Diego State did not have a great year especially during Mountain West play and they will be running into a buzzsaw having to play UCONN in Boston. The Huskies have been on a roll of late and I do not see any team being able to knock them off before the Final Four. They have too much size for the Aztecs and if they shoot it well at all they should be able to win this game by double digits. We will not overthink this play and just back the home Huskies. |

03-28-24 | Giants -101 v. Padres | 4-6 | Loss | -101 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #909 San Francisco +100 over San Diego (4:10p.m., Thursday, March 28 MLB Extra Innings) Just feel the Padres offense is not as good as it should be outside of two players. The Giants have their man on the mound today for opening day and I would expect a good performance from Logan Webb on Thursday. The Giants made some late free agent signing to bolster their offense and I expect them to start the season on the right note. Their manager was the Padres manager the last two years and he looked miserable in the Padres dugout all last season. Yu Darvish did not last long last week in Korea and I am not expecting a strong showing on Thursday. |
