06-02-21 | Mavs v. Clippers UNDER 217.5 | Top | 105-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
We doubt Luka Doncic is going to be anywhere near 100 percent here. The whole Dallas offense goes through him. He is like Steph Curry in that his play makes his teammates better when he is on the court. Even though these teams had an extra day off, not sure if that is going to help much. But, regardless, the Clippers put on a defensive clinic in Game 4 and we expect to see more of the same tonight in what is up to this point the pivotal game in the series. Dallas will make some defensive adjustments as well and we don’t see either of these teams putting up big numbers on offense. The stars will probably do their jobs but we think the role players will fall short. And the extra day off will ramp up the defensive intensity. |

06-02-21 | Cardinals +210 v. Dodgers | 3-14 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 959 STL Cardinals Over LA DODGERS (9:10pm, E, Wednesday, June 2nd) Cardinals are too good of a team to be giving 2-1 to. Dodgers are great, but the Cardinals are not playing bad ball and with Martinez on the mound and Buehler giving up home runs, anything can happen, so we'll take the value with Cardinals. They should hang with them all night. |

06-02-21 | Canadiens v. Jets -136 | 5-3 | Loss | -136 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. Take Winnipeg -130 over Montreal (Wednesday at 7:30pm) As per your selection on Winnipeg, this is a great spot for them to come out and dominate Game 1. We saw a similar situation in Game 1 of the Vegas/Colorado series, where Vegas came off an emotional seven-game series and Colorado was waiting for them rested and ready to go. The same situation applies in this spot and I don't think the Canadiens will be ready to go from puck drop. The Jets showed us how good they can be when they play a full 60 minutes of hockey and with rest, momentum and confidence, I expect the Jets to come out and dominate Game 1 of this series. |

06-02-21 | Rays v. Yankees -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 966 NY YANKEES -1.5, RL Over TB RAYS (7:05pm E, Wednesday, June 2nd) TB: McClanahan. NYY: Montgomery. With the monkey off their back, watch the Bronx Bombers go to work today. Montgomery will hold Tampa Bay down, while Judge, Stanton (who sat out Tuesday), and Torres (also sat out Tuesday), come to life and make a distant memory out of that 4-game losing streak. Their offense has looked like the Lady Yanks the past couple of weeks, but it's amazing what one game can do to the confidence and the Rays have been just a little too cocky. Yanks take this one and take the cockiness out on them! |
|||||||
06-02-21 | Wizards +6 v. 76ers | 112-129 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
Embiid is likely out here and the Wizards have a lot of momentum after a very nice win in Game 4. We think that momentum will carry over here. While Doc Rivers has a championship pedigree, he hasn’t done much recently, and he is starting to become more known for letting lesser teams stick around in playoff series. Washington has nothing to lose here and all the pressure is on Philly, and we think this will be a close game. |
|||||||
06-02-21 | Mets v. Diamondbacks -1.5 | 7-6 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 26 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 956 ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS -1.5, RL Over METS (3:40pm E, Wednesday, June 2nd) ARI: Bumgarner. NYM: Stroman How do you put the 20-36 Arizona Diamondbacks and the word "streaking" in the same sentence? What, are they playing without uniforms? No, we're talking about the D-Backs, Pavin Smith and his 12-Game Hit Streak. With their bats warming up and Madison Bumgarner on the mound, the Mets will be held at bay, while the Backs 1 and 2 run them to death all day. Take the Backs and Madison in this one. |

06-02-21 | Padres v. Cubs -1.5 | 1-6 | Win | 180 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 954 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5, RL, Over PADRES (2:20pm E, Wednesday, June 2nd) CUB: Alzolay. SD: Lamet. The Cubbies just barely got by the Padres yesterday which messed up our Run Line Play, but they had their chances. We think they'll take advantage of them today. Hendricks pitched an excellent game and we expect the same out of Alzolay and his 3.81 today. Padres are on a 3 game skid. What better place to make it 4, than in the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field. These are not your Grandfather's Cubs! |
|||||||
06-01-21 | Lakers v. Suns -5 | 85-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
LeBron is one of the greatest of all time but he is getting older and can no longer hold the weight of the entire team on his back. That’s why Anthony Davis has been such a good compliment to him. But this team looked lost against the Suns once Davis went out, and it looks like Chris Paul is getting over his injury as he played great last time out. The Lakers are always the darlings of the oddsmakers and bettors, so you normally get an extra point or two when betting against them, and we think that’s the case here as we had this line at 7.5. |
|||||||
06-01-21 | Blazers v. Nuggets -2 | 140-147 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
This looks like a 7-game series to us, and it’s Denver’s turn tonight. They had an ugly loss last time out, but they have had extra time off and they should come back raring to go on their home court tonight. Denver will ramp up the defensive intensity tonight with the extra energy provided by extra rest, and the Blazers have been inconsistent on defense and we think this one could be a lopsided matchup. |
|||||||
06-01-21 | Celtics +12.5 v. Nets | 109-123 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
Just think this is too many points. The Nets have looked great for the most part in this series. But this is the most points Boston has gotten as an underdog all season. Brooklyn has been inconsistent when laying big points and they were one of the worst bets in the league when laying five or more this season. The Celtics are a very proud team with a lot of tradition, and while they probably won’t win this game we think they will go down fighting and keep this one within double digits. |
|||||||
05-31-21 | Jazz v. Grizzlies +6 | Top | 120-113 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
We think the Grizzlies have a great chance to win this one and even the series up. It should at least be a close game. Memphis has nothing to lose and they are playing with house money right now. All the pressure is on Utah here. Last game the Jazz got off to a hot start and outscored the Grizzlies 34-22 in the first quarter. The Grizzlies pretty much played even with them the rest of the way after that slow start. Of course they won Game 1 and they haven’t embarrassed themselves at any point in this series. Even though they lost by 10 last time out, they have covered their last four at home after losing by double digits. They know this is their last best chance to stay in this series, and we expect to see a spirited effort tonight. Plus, the refs should dish out some home cooking, especially since there are a lack of games coming up as many of the series in the East have been lopsided. |
|||||||
05-31-21 | Pirates v. Royals -1.5 | 3-7 | Win | 108 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 978 KANSAS CITY ROYALS -1.5, RL, Over PIRATES (8:10pm E, Monday, May 31st,) KC: Minor. PIT: Kuhl Pirates' pitcher Chad Kuhl, 0-1, with few starts this year, takes on solid Royals' pitcher, Mike Minor, 3-2 with a 4.83 ERA. The Royals need a blowout win and what better spot than at home, against the weak Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates had a hard time scoring enough runs against the hapless Rockies - we think they'll REALLY struggle against the Royals. The Royals' bats should light up Memorial Day. |
|||||||
05-31-21 | Nationals v. Braves -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 115 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 956 ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5, RL, Over NATIONALS (5:10pm E, Monday, May 31st) WAS: Ross. ATL: Morton The Braves at home with Charlie Morton on the mound - it doesn't get much better than that - and rested after a postponed game last night. The Braves are one of our favorite offensive teams this year and we definitely like them at home tonight. Not only are they good hitters, they are great baserunners, with a ton of energy and create havoc for opposing pitchers. Look for them to beat up on the Nats, today! |
|||||||
05-31-21 | Rays v. Yankees -1.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 53 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 964 NY YANKEES -1.5, RL, Over RAYS (1:05pm E, Monday, May 31st) NYY: Tallion. TB: Hill It's rare when the Yankees lose three games in a row, but when they have, and they're coming back home (today), these are times they usually explode. With the wind blowing out towards the left field porch at 7-8 mph, look for a lot of runs in this game and most of them by the Yanks. They don't take losing very well and their paybacks are hell. |
|||||||
05-31-21 | Rays v. Yankees OVER 8.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 53 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 963 RAYS/YANKEES "OVER" (1:05pm E, Monday, May 31st) NYY: Tallion. TB: HILL As mentioned above, two very good hitting teams, the Yanks with a chip on their shoulder after losing three straight, and the wind blowing out to right, this should be a high-scoring game and we don't see 8.5 runs lasting too long in this game. |
|||||||
05-30-21 | Clippers -3 v. Mavs | 106-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Luka Doncic is questionable for this game. We have no doubt he will play. His listing on the injury report is probably mind games by Dallas. But we also do think he is ailing a bit and will be well under 100 percent in this game. But regardless, we think the Clippers have turned the tide here. If they win here then they are once again heavy favorites in this series. Dallas has enjoyed some great performances in this series and hit a lot of lucky shots. But LA is a much stronger all around team and they showed they are motivated in Game 3 and we expect to see the same type of performance here. |
|||||||
05-30-21 | Nets -7.5 v. Celtics | Top | 141-126 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show |
Boston played great in Game 3. Tatum put the team on his back and scored 50 with a legendary effort. That’s doubtful to happen again, and the Nets should bounce back and comfortably win this one against an outmatched Boston squad. This Game 3 was typical of Boston all season as they will look like they are back on track and then fall on their faces. And it was typical of Brooklyn, a team that has been inconsistent. But we think that loss was a wake up call. And with the other top seeds in the East taking care of business quickly, there will be urgency for the Nets to make sure Boston doesn’t win another game and hang around as the competition will get much tougher in the coming rounds. |

05-30-21 | Lightning -100 v. Hurricanes | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 60 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay -110 over Carolina (Sunday at 5pm) NOTE* Doc's Golf is on fire right now cashing five straight tickets for +$3,040. He's releasing an 8-UNIT play for Sunday's Fourth Round at the Charles Schwab Challenge! As per your selection on Tampa Bay, we are going to go light in this series until we find an edge. To start, we think Tampa is the better team in this series and as they have the better goaltending, we can see them stealing a win in a Carolina before returning home for Games 3 and 4. Tampa will be boosted by the return of Kucherov to the lineup and that should help generate some more offense, not that they need it considering the output they had against Florida. I believe Tampa is ready to get this series started and will skate away to a game 1 win. |
|||||||
05-30-21 | Cardinals v. Diamondbacks +110 | 2-9 | Win | 110 | 5 h 0 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 910 ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS +105 Over CARDINALS (4:10pm E, Sunday, May 30th) STL: KIM. ARI: PEACOCK We understand it's not easy taking the Diamondbacks against the Cardinals, but they will pull out a win today. Peacock and his 4.50 ERA will strut his stuff up and down the Cardinals lineup. Arizona is a much better team than they've shown the last 12 games and, speaking of 12 games, they've lost all of them. Look for 13 to be their lucky number and bring out a victory against St. Louis today. BEST OF LUCK! |
|||||||
05-30-21 | Reds v. Cubs -1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 906 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5, RL, +175 Over REDS (2:20pm E, Sunday, May 30th) CUBS: Arrieta. REDS: Mahle. Jake Arrieta takes his miniscule 1.27 ERA against Tyler Mahle's 3.58. Folks, if we could, we'd release a lot more units on this game, than 5. The Cubs are playing great ball on both sides and Cincinnati is just trying to hang in there and hope something happens. We don't see it against Arrieta. If Rizzo happens to play today (which we guess he will) count this game as a win, right now. Cubs win again, BIG! |
|||||||
05-30-21 | Phillies v. Rays -1.5 | 2-6 | Win | 163 | 2 h 1 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 928 TB RAYS -1.5, RL, +160 Over PHILLIES (1:10am E, Sunday, May 30th) PHI: Eflin. TB: McHugh. The Tampa Bay Rays are just playing great baseball. Zach Eflin takes the mound against Collin McHugh in a game that should produce more runs than yesterday. The Phillies are a really good team, but the Rays are playing as well as anyone in baseball, on both sides of the ball. We like the Tampa Bay Rays to back up yesterday's win, with another strong showing today. |
|||||||
05-30-21 | Brewers +103 v. Nationals | 3-0 | Win | 103 | 2 h 57 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 901 MILWAUKEE BREWERS +105 Over NATIONALS (1:05pm E, Sunday, May 30th) MIL: Woodruff. WAS: Scherzer. Why can't Woodruff get any love? We all know how good Scherzer is, but Woodruff has practically half the ERA (1.41 to 2.27) and the Brewers are finally the team we thought they were going to be. Take the Brewers to feed off yesterday's 4-1 win and take the Nationals down again, today! |
|||||||
05-29-21 | Jazz -5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 121-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show |
Kudos to Memphis for winning Game 1. They caught Utah off guard and they got a great win. But Utah showed in Game 2 why they are the top seed as they dropped 141 points in a blowout. Sometimes good teams need a kick in the butt to get going, and it looks like that loss motivated Utah in a big way. That positive momentum should continue here. And Memphis would not even be a playoff team under the normal playoff format. This is a team on the way up but not there yet, while Utah is a true championship contender. And we think they get the job done again tonight. |

05-29-21 | Mercury v. Wings -1 | 89-85 | Loss | -114 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Dallas over Phoenix (Saturday at 8pm) Complete dud of a play yesterday. This is why following the injury reports are so important. We will bounce back with a nice winner today. As per your selection on Dallas, you have to wonder why they are the favorite in this game despite losing three straight games. I believe it's because they have the better talent and if you look at their losses, they've been in every single game and gave Seattle, NY, and Atl (all good teams) all they could handle. Their lone win came against LA and we saw what LA can do when they are playing well. Dallas will enjoy the return home for this contest and we see them picking up a much-needed win to stop the losing streak. As for Phoenix, they've lost two straight and now hit the road for two, but I don't see them getting up for Dallas when they have Chicago on deck twice next week. Dallas is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 as home favorites, 9-3 ATS in their last 12 following a SU loss, and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs the West. Phoenix is just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 while playing on 2 days rest. |

05-29-21 | Maple Leafs -185 v. Canadiens | 2-3 | Loss | -185 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. No. 41. Take Toronto over Montreal (Saturday at 7:30pm) Normally we don't like laying this kind of juice and we know Montreal is in a must-win situation to prolong their season, but this is a must-win game for the Leafs as they DO NOT want to have to play a Game 7 because Game 7's are wacky and anything can happen. Look, aside from a slow start and one bonehead play in OT, the Leafs controlled most of the game and were a couple of posts and a couple of Carey Price robberies away from ending the series. They know they can beat the Habs when the play a full 60 minutes and I don't see them lagging behind in this one once again. The Leafs are the better team and will come out with a sense of purpose and will close out the series in front of 2500 Habs fans. |

05-29-21 | Marlins v. Red Sox -1.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 138 | 5 h 49 m | Show |
10-Unit Play: Take 978 BOSTON RED SOX -1.5, RL Over MARLINS (4:10pm E, Saturday, May 29th) BOS: Eovaldi. MIA: Rogers Nobody likes facing Boston's Eovaldi, but especially in this weather. Just like yesterday, wind will be blowing in at over 15, drizzle to rain predicted, and a wet field. Red Sox had no problem with it yesterday, we just wish (for our 7-Unit Play) it could have gone 8.5 innings. Boston is hitting the ball well and doing all the right things to win games, big. We think you'll see one today. |
|||||||
05-29-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -4.5 | 95-115 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
We like to envision how a series will play out beforehand and bet accordingly, and we see this series going a long way or maybe even to Game 7 as we think these teams are pretty evenly matched. Portland played well last game but Denver played better, and we think the Blazers will be motivated here and even the series up. They had covered five in a row in this series before the last two losses. We think the early start time benefits the home team as they are in a more comfortable setting and should be able to handle the change better since these games have all been at night. |
|||||||
05-29-21 | Chelsea v. Manchester City -100 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Competition: Champions League. Take Manchester City over Chelsea (Saturday at 3pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Man City must win the game. This selection DOES NOT include Extra Time or Penalties. As per your selection on Man City to win this game outright in 90 minutes and lift the Champions League Trophy, they've been the best team in Europe for quite some time now and it all culminates with winning this elusive trophy. Pep and his squad will be ready and will not be taking Chelsea lightly as they've lost the last to meetings to the London side. Normally, this is the kind of game where +175 on Chelsea to lift the Cup is enticing, but Man City are just too good to beat in a winner-take-all match. City will have had plenty of time to rest their starters for this match as they had the PL won three weeks ago, where as Chelsea fought with their starters till the very last minute on the very last matchday of the PL just to get a top-4 spot should they lose this game. Chelsea is a good side, but I don't see Pep squandering this chance and Man City will win this game likely, 2-0 or 3-0 in regulation time. |

05-29-21 | Reds v. Cubs -1.5 | 2-10 | Win | 196 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 952 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5, RL, Over CINCINNATI (2:20pm E, Saturday, May 29th) CUBS: Davies. REDS: Castillo Cubs won the game yesterday, but needed one more run to cover our Run Line. They almost got it in the 7th and 8th, with a foul ball (just foul) and a shot 4-feet from the wall. We think they will today. Same conditions: wind blowing in and temp in the mid-50s. We think the Cubbies will adjust to their park better than the Reds and we'll take Davies on the mound. Watch the Cubs get by the Reds by quite a few today - the value is too good to pass up. We just hope Rizzo plays. He didn't play yesterday and is questionable today, with a tight back. This isn't the type of weather to loosen it up. They should handle them, even without him. |

05-29-21 | Orioles v. White Sox OVER 6.5 | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 3 h 33 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 965 ORIOLES/WHITE SOX "OVER" (2:10pm E, Saturday, May 29th) BAL: Harvey. CHW: Keuchel 6.5 Runs is just too low for these two teams, especially the way Chicago has been hitting. They can put up 6.5 in the first 5 innings. Mercedes is a beast and there's no let up, up and down the lineup. Yes, the two pitchers are good, but even in 7 innings, we like the White Sox and Orioles to put up some numbers. |
|||||||
05-29-21 | Bucks -4.5 v. Heat | 120-103 | Win | 100 | 1 h 7 m | Show | |
Miami put up a fight in Game 1 but the last two games have been blowouts. Will Miami play with some pride here? Maybe. But they are outmatched in this series and we expect the Bucks to finish this one off today. They have shown that last year was a fluke and that they are a legit contender. There is urgency to finish this one off and then wait for their next opponent. They are playing extremely well right now. We think this price is right and we expect a comfortable 7+-point win. |
|||||||
05-29-21 | Phillies v. Rays -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 170 | 2 h 37 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 976 TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5, RL, Over PHILLIES (1:10pm E, Saturday, May 29th) PHI: Wheeler. TB: Yarbrough With Tampa Bay having the best record in the league and Yarbrough and his 4.31 ERA and Philadelphia with a litany of injuries, Wheeler had better go 6 innings plus, because if they go to their lousy bullpen too early, they could be in trouble. Yes, Wheeler is a very good pitcher, but we feel that makes it a wash, maybe slightly favors the Rays. So we'll take the value of almost 2-1 odds, any day on a game like this. Light it up Rays! |
|||||||
05-28-21 | Clippers v. Mavs UNDER 220 | Top | 118-108 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
Dallas has been playing great in this series and they have been shooting the lights out. But they have made a lot of lucky shots, and that is undeniable. They also have some players that have unsustainable shooting percentages in this series, especially from long range. The Clippers were one of the best defensive teams all season. Their season is on the line tonight and we expect them to lock down on defense and play with massive intensity. And the Dallas shooting can’t stay this hot forever. We expect a much different look on the scoreboard after the final buzzer than we saw in Game 2. |

05-28-21 | Cardinals v. Diamondbacks -1.5 | 8-6 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 910 ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS -1.5, Over STL CARDINALS (9:40pm E, Friday, May 28th) STL: Oviedo. AZ: Bumgarner Madison Bumgarner is just what the doctor ordered to bring an end to the Diamondbacks' 11-game losing streak. The Cardinals counter with Johan Oviedo, who is 0-2 this season. The main job for Bumgarner is going to be to keep Nolan Arenado and Javier Molina off the base pads. He does that and Arizona should score enough early for them to be able to run away with this one. |

3-Unit Play. No. 35. Take Minnesota over Vegas (Friday at 9 pm) We've been rolling along at a pretty good clip in these playoffs so far, so let's keep it going! As for your selection on Minnesota, how can you pass up a price like this in a winner take all elimination game? Clearly, Minnesota has done something right as they've won three games and fought to fight another day with their Game 6 win on home ice. Minnesota just seems to give Vegas fits and from what I've seen and heard about the Golden Knights is that if it wasn't for Fleury, they would already have been toast in this series. Vegas just doesn't seem to have the "it" factor that it did the last few seasons and with Minnesota dominating the regular-season series vs Vegas, that has spilled into this playoff series and so why not take a shot with Minnesota here at a great price. |
|||||||
05-28-21 | Nets -8.5 v. Celtics | 119-125 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Better luck next year, Boston. The Celtics looked cooked and this series hasn’t even been competitive. Brooklyn is healthy and playing well, and Boston is banged up and looks lost. Everything the Nets have been working towards to be in good shape for the postseason seems to be coming to fruition, and they looked poised to end this series in a sweep. This should be another double-digit win. There is some urgency to end this series quickly because the competition for Brooklyn gets much more serious as they move on. |

4-Unit Play: Take 918 MINNESOTA TWINS -1.5, RL over ROYALS (8:10pm E, Friday, May 28th) Twins: Dobnak, Royals: Bubic The Royals roll into Minnesota to take on the Twins, who have finally found their bats. Their slugging percentage is 4th in the League at .424, led by Nelson Cruz (big surprise) with a slugging percentage of .524. Twins should handle struggling KC, as they're catching the Royals at a time when they can really steamroll them. |

05-28-21 | Sparks v. Sky -3 | 76-61 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. Take Chicago over Los Angeles (Friday at 8pm) As per your selection on Chicago to grab the win here tonight, you know they are going to come out fired up and pissed off about their last two results - both losses to NY and ATL respectively. The thing about the losses is that they played well but couldn't shut down the opposition. They've had three days to regroup, get some practice in, and correct the issues on the defensive side of the ball and we expect them to come out today and put the clamps down on a poor LA team. Look, Chicago is a great offensive team and with the weapons, they can trot out, they have the advantage of the Sparks in every position on the floor. At home, I expect them to shoot the ball well and put up a number the Sparks simply can't match. If you look at the Sparks, they are 0-2 and got obliterated by both Dallas and Vegas. They've scored 71 and 69 in those losses and I Don't expect them to be able to go toe-to-toe with a high-powered Chicago offense. They also don't have the will or desire to play any defense, so I don't see them winning a low-scoring game. Take Chicago on the money line and let's continue the winning streak! |

Miami: Poteet The Boston Red Sox 30-20 this season and the Miami Marlins are 24-26 and both pitchers have good ERAs. That tells us a lot, but let's dig a little deeper. You know how much we like slugging, in our predictions and this is a good one: The Red Sox are slugging .445 to lead the Major Leagues, led by Rafael Devers, with 29 extra base hits and 14 home runs. We like Boston to run away with this first game of the series. |

05-28-21 | Reds v. Cubs -1.5 | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 32 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 902 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5 RL Over REDS (2:20pm E, Friday, May 28th) Cubs: Alzolay. Reds: Gutierrez The Cubs are coming home after a red hot road trip and the friendly confines of Wrigley Field are just what they need to keep that momentum and blow out the Reds. They got a little lucky in Pittsburgh yesterday, but they shouldn't need any luck today. If Kris Bryant continues his good hitting and Alzolay can the wind blowing in at 21 can keep Jesse Winker in the ballpark, the Cubbies should walk away with this one. |
|||||||
05-27-21 | Suns +7 v. Lakers | 95-109 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
We think the Lakers will win this series but we are surprised how big this line is. The Lakers are one of the most public teams in the NBA and their lines are often inflated. That sure looks like the case tonight as we had this one handicapped at 4. So we see nice value here on the underdog in what should be a close game. The Lakers are 1-5 ATS in their last six after a cover, so they normally follow up a great game with an average one. |
|||||||
05-27-21 | Hurricanes -135 v. Predators | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. No. 24. Take Carolina over Nashville (Thursday at 9:30 pm) As per your selection, we were all over Carolina in the first two contests of this series which were wins, so we go back to the well with them here on the road in Game 6 as they know that they can not afford to gift Nashville a second life and a chance at winning a Game 7. Carolina has been the better team for much of the series with the exception of a few periods, but we believe they have the resolve and character in the dressing room to know what it takes to get ready to win an elimination game and move onto the next round. Carolina has the advantage over Nashville in every aspect on the ice and we will see that come to the forefront here tonight. Take Carolina. |
|||||||
05-27-21 | Cardinals v. Diamondbacks -105 | 5-4 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 962 ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS Over CARDINALS (9:40pm E, Thursday, May 27th) Cards: Martinez. Diamondbacks: Peacock. Carlos Martinez brings his 4.18 ERA against Matt Peacock and his 4.50 ERA. General intellect would say take the Cards, here, but not so fast. The Diamondbacks are 0-10, their last 10 games and are happy to be back home and can't wait to take on the Cardinals and Matt Peacock is anxious to strut his stuff on the mound. Look for just a few hits from the Cards and Arizona, finally, will put some runs on the board. |
|||||||
05-27-21 | Bucks -1.5 v. Heat | Top | 113-84 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
We were hyped on the Bucks entering the postseason but also kind of apprehensive because of the fact that they fell on their face last postseason. Was that the Bubble or is this team a postseason underperformer? Well, Game 2 gave us a lot of confidence, and we think there’s a great chance this series ends up as a sweep. This team has unfinished business, and they looked focused and determined thus far in this series and Miami is just outmatched. |
|||||||
05-27-21 | Reds v. Nationals OVER 6 | 3-0 | Loss | -135 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 985 REDS/NATIONALS "OVER" (7:05pm E, Thursday, May 27th) Reds: Gray. Nats: Strasburg. Once again, this is too low of a number to pass up. These two teams, even with quality pitchers against them, have offenses that are too good, not to take the over. Yes, Gray is one of the best pitchers in the National League and Strasburg is right there, too - always has been, but (once again) 6 runs? These two teams should have 6 by the 5th inning. Our money's going on the over. |
|||||||
05-27-21 | Wings v. Dream +1.5 | 95-101 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Atlanta over Dallas (Thursday at 7pm) As per your selection on Atlanta to get the win over Dallas, we love the way the Dream have played over their last two contests. They got by a pesky Indiana squad and then beat a really good Chicago squad on their home court. Now they return home to take on a Dallas team that's lost two straight and is coming into this game in prime letdown spot after two games that went right down to the wire against Seattle and New York - two teams that draw major attention. The Wings will be playing their second road game in a row before returning home and we don't see them having enough juice to keep up with the Atlanta team that's just shooting the ball really well right now and dictating their fast tempo in each of the last two wins. Atlanta is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 while hosting Dallas and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 playing on one day's rest. The Wings are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 as a road favorite. Take Atlanta here. |
|||||||
05-26-21 | Wizards +8.5 v. 76ers | 95-120 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
We think these two teams are closer in ability than the oddsmakers do. The Wizards hung with Utah in Game 1. It was only the third quarter where the Sixers got a bit of separation, but the Wizards covered and we think they keep this one close once again on Wednesday. Washington was one of the best ATS teams in the second half of the season. They have covered six straight as a dog and are 7-0-1 ATS coming off a loss. They have also covered in four of the last five meetings. |
|||||||
05-26-21 | Cubs v. Pirates OVER 8.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take CUBS/PITTSBURGH "OVER" (6:36pm E, Wednesday, May, 26th) CUBS: WILLIAMS. PITTSBURGH: CROWE. If you watched the Pirates against the Cubs, last night, you know why we're taking the over tonight. Both teams are hitting the ball well, up and down the lineup. They just couldn't get anybody in last night. You'll see a different story tonight against Williams and Crow. Take the over - it should be a high-scoring game. |
|||||||
05-26-21 | Penguins v. Islanders -105 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take New York Islanders over Pittsburgh (Wednesday at 6:30 pm) As per your selection on New York, we think this series is all but done tonight. New York has shown its ability to shut down the Penguins' offense and with the Penguin's defense and goaltending letting them down, again and again, we see the Islanders taking advantage of it and capitalizing and getting this series-clinching win. The Islanders are a good bet at home and with the way they have been playing they know the importance of getting the job done tonight and not giving Pittsburgh another chance. |
|||||||
05-26-21 | Rangers v. Angels -1.5 | 8-9 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 918 LA Angels -1.5, RL Over TEXAS (4:07pm E, Wednesday, Wednesday, May 26th) Angels: Canning. Texas: Dunning Time for Canning and his 5.56 ERA to turn things around against Dunning and 3.74 ERA. It's also time for the Angels to start hitting. We say it'll be tonight and the Rangers are the perfect team to take it out on. Look for their bats come the Angels to blow someone out for a change. |
|||||||
05-26-21 | Cardinals v. White Sox -1.5 | 4-0 | Loss | -102 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 926 White Sox-1.5, RL, Over CARDINALS (2:10pm, E, Wednesday, May, 26th) WHITE SOX: RODON, CARDINALS: GANT. John Gant is a good pitcher with a 2.07 ERA, but he can't compete with Carlos Rodon's 1.27 ERA and the Cardinals can't compete with the White Sox bats. Take the White Sox on the Run Line to beat the Cards by more than 2 runs and we think, more than that. |
|||||||
05-25-21 | Mavs v. Clippers -6.5 | 127-121 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
The Clippers are probably feeling some pressure after losing Game 1 in an upset. This team has had the ability to bounce back well in the past, and they did this quite a bit in the postseason last year. A loss here would be a big problem for the organization and we just don’t see this team disappointing again as they are just on another tier talent wise than the Mavs and they have all the ingredients of a championship contender. We expect a low scoring game and possible double digit win by the home team. |
|||||||
05-25-21 | Lakers -1.5 v. Suns | 109-102 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
The Suns won Game 1 but we are going to back the Lakers again here in Game 2 for all the same reasons, the most important being the Suns inexperience in the postseason. The Lakers aren’t sweating the Game 1 loss and they have been here before. We think there is a lot of pressure on the Suns here and we don’t see them handling the adversity when they have a great chance to go up 2-0. This one should be all LA. |
|||||||
05-25-21 | Rockies v. Mets OVER 6 | 1-3 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 6 m | Show | |
4: Units: Take 957 ROCKIES/ METS "OVER" 6 RUNS (7:10pm, E, Tuesday, May 25th) Rockies: Freeland. Mets: de Grom. Once again, we're not letting a total, this low, get away. 6.5 yesterday (which they didn't get to) and now, because de Grom is pitching it's 6? We'll definitely take our chances with 6, we don't care who's on the mound. If you're going to play the percentages, and you ever see a total of 6, TAKE IT!!! |
|||||||
05-25-21 | Reds v. Nationals -1.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 2 m | Show | |
4-Units: Take 956 WASHINGTON NATIONALS -1.5, RL, +110 Over REDS (7:05pm, E, Tuesday, May 25th) Reds: Mahle. Nationals: Scherzer What is there to say, except one of the best pitchers on the planet, Scherzer, is going against a good player on the planet, Mahle. Scherzer with his 2.24 ERA and Mahle with his 4.00 ERA. Nationals have a better hitting team, a better slugging team, and oh yeah, a pitcher that, every year he plays, has a good chance of winning the Cy Young. Any questions? Take Washington to walk away, briskly, from the Reds, in this one. |
|||||||
05-25-21 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 2 m | Show | |
4-Units: Take NY YANKEES -1.5, RL, +105 Over TORONTO (7:05pm E, Tuesday, May 25th) Yankees: Kluber. Blue Jays: Matz. The Blue Jays' confidence has got to be in shambles after the series against the Rays and NOW they have to go play the Yankees in New York? That can't help. Maybe they can stop and play a high school team on the way to bump their spirits. Yanks don't like the Jays much, either, so that doesn't help. New York walks away with this one - chalk up another win in the Bronx! |
|||||||
05-25-21 | Mystics -2 v. Fever | 85-69 | Win | 100 | 1 h 59 m | Show | |
4-Unit play. Take Washington -2 over Indiana (Tuesday at 7pm) No time for a lengthy write up today. As per your selection on Washington, they are due to break out in a big way and after winning back NY, they fell flat on their face against this same Indians team. We expect them to come out with some revenge here tonight and get a big win as they are the better team |
|||||||
05-25-21 | Cubs v. Pirates OVER 8.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -122 | 1 h 33 m | Show | |
4-Units: Take 952 PITTSBURGH PIRATES/CHICAGO CUBS "OVER" (6:35pm E, Tuesday, May 25th) Cubs: Arrieta. Pirates: Ponce Nothing much can get the Pirates motivated, this year, except maybe the Cubbies coming to town. Arrieta is an excellent pitcher, but Pittsburgh will hit, in this game, and protect their home turf and Chicago knows how to score runs, especially against Ponce. With the temperature in the mid-80s and the wind blowing out at 10 mph, this should go over quickly. |
|||||||
05-24-21 | Cardinals v. White Sox -1.5 | 1-5 | Win | 115 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 916 CHICAGO WHITE SOX -1.5, RL, Over STL CARDINALS (8:10pm, E, Monday, May 24th) White Sox: Lynn. Cardinals: Kim The Cardinals bats have really cooled off, lately, as they let the Cubs beat them 2-1 last night in St. Louis! The White Sox are glad to be home and should put some runs on the board this evening, even against the very good Cardinals pitcher, Kim - the Sox are a VERY dangerous team. Kim has only a 2.73 ERA, but Lance Lynne has only a 1.55 ERA and if there is one team Lynn likes to beat, it's the St. Louis Cardinals! With that incentive and the hot White Sox's bats, they should easily get by the Cardinals tonight. |
|||||||
05-24-21 | Padres v. Brewers -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 189 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 906 MILWAUKEE BREWERS -1.5, RL, Over PADRES (7:40pm E, Monday May 24th) Milwaukee: Woodruff. Padres: Snell. Two really good pitchers on the mound today: Blake Snell for the Padres and his 3.79 ERA and Brandon Woodruff and his 1.58 ERA, but it looks like the Brewers are swinging the bats better. Woodruff has been almost unhittable this year, so they won't have to score too many to walk away from the Padres. Grab a cold one and watch the Brewers thump the Padres. |
|||||||
05-24-21 | Rockies v. Mets OVER 6.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -119 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 903 ROCKIES/METS "OVER" (7:10pm E, Monday, May 24th) Rockies: Gomber. Mets: Undecided. The Mets haven't decided, firmly, who they're going to start tonight, but it may be Peterson. Honestly, we don't care who starts for them. With the wind blowing out to left field at 10 mph and the Mets starting to hit the ball much better after the hiring of Pitching Coach, Hugh Quattlebaum, they should reach this total by themselves. They needed to start hitting and he seems to be the answer. Once again, we don't understand that low "total" number, but we'll take it. |
|||||||
05-24-21 | Maple Leafs -156 v. Canadiens | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Toronto over Montreal (Monday at 7pm) As per your selection on Toronto, this is the game the Leafs need to come out and make a statement that they are in fact the better and more dominant team. The Leafs won Game 2 for their captain and now they must-win Game 3 to put the Canadiens in a very tough spot. The Leafs outplayed the Canadians for about 5 of the 6 periods played so far and if they continue to skate well and move the puck quick, the Canadiens have no shot at winning this series. This is a good price to grab on the better term and we will be all over it here tonight. |
|||||||
05-24-21 | Rays -1.5 v. Blue Jays | 14-8 | Win | 135 | 2 h 42 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 907 TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5, RL, Over Blue Jays (1:07pm E, Monday, May 24th) Rays: Yarbrough. Jays: Stripling. Tampa Bay is riding a 10-game winning streak and the Blue Jays are on a 5-game losing streak. Two teams, at the moment, going in opposite directions. The Rays have Ryan Yarbrough on the mound, with his 4.24 ERA and the Blue Jays counter with Ross Stripling and his 7.20 ERA. The Jays' pitching staff is in disarray and if you watched the game yesterday and saw the way Tampa Bay scored 4 runs in the ninth, to take a 2-run lead, you know why. We like the Rays to feed off that momentum and score early and often today. |
|||||||
05-23-21 | Hawks v. Knicks UNDER 215.5 | 107-105 | Win | 100 | 55 h 37 m | Show | |
The Knicks are the No. 1 defensive team in the NBA. With plenty of rest coming into this game we think they will bring a lot of intensity on the defensive side of the ball. The Hawks are an underrated defensive team as well. They held their last two opponents in the regular season to 95 or fewer points. With the extended break, these offenses will probably be rusty to start off the game. And the defenses will have lots of energy. This should be a close game, and we could see these defenses really clamping down in the fourth quarter. In the playoffs defense increases and scores normally get smaller. We think this one has a real chance to be a defensive battle, and we see this total as at least five points too high. |
|||||||
05-23-21 | Lakers +3 v. Suns | Top | 90-99 | Loss | -115 | 51 h 7 m | Show |
For most of the later part of the season we have been planning to fade the Suns in the postseason. This team has all the look of a regular season wonder but a postseason failure. They don’t have a lot of postseason experience. Chris Paul has a career of postseason disappointments. This team needs some experience before they are a true title threat. Unfortunately, they drew the Lakers in the first round. The Lakers almost never have betting value because they are one of the most public teams in the NBA. There’s no doubt the Suns are scared here. The Lakers are healthy and streaking. We think this line is more than fair for Game 1 and we actually had the Lakers as a slight favorite, so we love the value here for Game 1. |
|||||||
05-23-21 | Wizards +7 v. 76ers | 118-125 | Push | 0 | 49 h 37 m | Show | |
The Wizards are no normal No. 8 seed. This team has been one of the stronger teams in the entire NBA down the stretch after a horrible start to the season. We think they can hang with Philly in this series. The Sixers have seen their share of disappointment in the postseason during The Process era. Even though they are the top seed, we would put the Bucks and even the Nets in front of them as a possible NBA Finals representative from the East. The Wizards are just playing very good team basketball right now, and we feel this is a very public line. It doesn’t hurt that Washington has covered in five of the last seven meetings. |
|||||||
05-22-21 | Golden Knights -113 v. Wild | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. No. 57. Take Vegas over Minnesota (Saturday at 8pm) Sometimes you just gotta go with what's working. Vegas seems to have found their footing and rhythm against Minnesota and after going behind 2-0 in Game 3, the Golden Knights responded with five unanswered goals. That's going to be demoralizing for the Wild who know their best chance at winning games is by keeping the games low scoring and they've failed to do that. Also, Vegas is finally feeling confident in their ability to beat Minnesota after losing the regular-season series to the Wild in lopsided fashion. Vegas is the better team and they know giving Minnesota a win and new life in the series is bad for their goal of making a deep playoff run. Look for Vegas to come out flying and try and take a commanding 3-1 series lead. |
|||||||
05-22-21 | Celtics +8 v. Nets | 93-104 | Loss | -104 | 32 h 43 m | Show | |
Brooklyn is hot entering the postseason, but they won five straight against a pretty easy schedule. We just don’t think this team has what it takes to win a championship this season. This team has been a very bad bet most of the season, especially when laying big points. They have dealt with so many injuries and roster changes this season that this new team hasn’t had the chance to build chemistry. Boston has been a big disappointment this season. But this is a whole new season, and you can throw out the previous struggles. They played one of their best games in a long time in the play-in game against a Washington team that had been playing extremely well. We expect a competitive game here. |
|||||||
05-22-21 | Red Sox v. Phillies +117 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
10-Unit Play: Take 928 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES +105 Over BOSTON (7:15pm E, Saturday, May 22nd) On paper, it looks like Boston should beat the Phillies easily. Howard has twice the ERA than Eovaldi and the Phillies are coming into this game on a 3-game losing streak. The latter is exactly why the Phillies win today: 1st (and this not very scientific, we understand): When it comes to sports betting, if it looks too good to be true, it usually is. And 2nd (these are the real reasons): these teams don't like one another and Philadelphia is a tough place to play any sport. Look for Bryce Harper to explode, today, and bump up his .524 Slugging Percentage and add a few to his 15 extra base hits. He may even, possibly, add a couple to his 7 home runs. Also, look for Andrew McCutcheon, at lead off, to have a great day (he is WAY underrated). The Phillies will break their losing streak in a big way today (Philadelphia fans might insurrect, if they don't!). PHILLIES WIN BIG!! |
|||||||
05-22-21 | Cubs -106 v. Cardinals | 1-2 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 911 CHICAGO CUBS Over STL CARDINALS (7:15pm E, Saturday, May 22nd) Cubs wailed on the Cards yesterday, 12-3. Common sense would say take the Cards at home today, as the Cubs will let down a little. The answer is "No, they won't." This is one of the great rivalries in baseball and the Cubs (who are a better team than the Cards) don't need anything to get them up for St. Louis, especially when they're about to take 1st place in the division from them. Mike Mikolas is NOT the answer for the Cardinals. in 2019 he had over 16% of his balls leave the park and he's coming back for the first time in 1.5 years, after surgery. Look for the Cubs to score early and often. Cubs go up 2-0 in a 4-game series! |
|||||||
05-22-21 | Tigers v. Royals -1.5 | 5-7 | Win | 140 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 918 KANSAS CITY ROYALS -1.5, RL, Over DETROIT (4:10pm E, Saturday, May 22nd) Detroit slid by the Royals last night, but that won't happen tonight. Regardless of ERAs, the Royals have a solid bullpen and, just in case Singer gets in trouble (we don't think he will), he has good backups. The Royals have not hit many home runs this year, but look for that to change today with the wind blowing out to left at over 10 mph. |
|||||||
05-22-21 | Mavs v. Clippers -5 | Top | 113-103 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 19 m | Show |
This is what the Clippers played the season for. All the load management, different rotations and team building was intended to be in a good place for the postseason. And we think the Clippers are in a very good place. This team didn’t care about regular season records. All they care about is winning a championship. And this team looks much better than the one we saw flame out of the playoffs last season. Paul George was having some mental issues last season in the bubble but he has been great this season, and this team is pretty much fully healthy here for Game 1. A healthy and motivated Clippers team is on a different level than this Mavs squad, and we think this line is short on Saturday. |
|||||||
05-22-21 | White Sox v. Yankees -1.5 | 0-7 | Win | 100 | 1 h 19 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 914 NY YANKEES -1.5, RL, Over White Sox (1:05pm E, Saturday, May 22nd) We all know what happened to Garrett Cole in his last outing: the Rangers knocked him out early. Yes, the Texas Rangers beat up on the Yankees and took it out on Cole. That won't happen today. One of the best pitchers in baseball (#2 barely behind Jacob DeGrom) will turn things around - we guarantee you he's been looking for a way to get that taste out of his mouth. He will today and the Yankees will explode with runs. |
|||||||
05-21-21 | Sun v. Mercury -139 | 84-67 | Loss | -139 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Phoenix over Connecticut (Friday at 10pm) As per your selection, we are going with Phoenix on the Moneyline as we don't want to lay a weird number of three. Phoenix has been a great team so far this season, and they beat a good team in Minnesota and an OK team in Washington. Their lone loss came against this Conn team when they were off an emotional season-opening win on the road at Minnesota and then traveling across the country to the East coast. Phoenix returns home and they are clicking right now, with Taurasi and Griner and Diggins-Smith contributing equally. They have been great at home over the last few seasons and we expect them to get another win here tonight. Connecticut are off to a hot start this season, posting a 3-0 record but they've beaten Atlanta who sucks, and Indiana who also sucks. This is the first cross-country road trip and it's a gauntlet with Vegas and Seattle on deck. We see PHX grabbing the win here at home and we'll play them on the moneyline. |
|||||||
05-21-21 | A's v. Angels -1.5 | 8-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 974 LA ANGELS -1.5, RL, OVER OAKLAND A'S (9:38pm E, Friday, May 21st) Oakland's Kaprielian and his 1.80 ERA against the Angels' Quintana and his 8.53 ERA. This looks easy, right? 1.80 against 8.53? No, it's not that easy. The Angels are back to hitting the ball well and they can't wait to bring those hot bats home and show them to their fans. Forget the pitching numbers - this one is going the Angels' way and it's not if, it's how many! |
|||||||
05-21-21 | Grizzlies v. Warriors -4.5 | Top | 117-112 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
Home teams have been dominant in this play in tournament, and we expect that trend to continue on Friday in the final play in game. The postseason is when stars shine the brightest, and although Ja Morant is a rising star, the Warriors have two established stars, including one of the best to ever play the game. We have seen time and time again that Steph Curry elevates his game to a different level when things matter the most, and the stakes couldn’t be higher here. He also makes everyone around him better when he brings his A Game, and we expect to see his best tonight. The Grizzlies wouldn’t have made the postseason in a normal format. This team is on the rise for sure, but we think they are a season away from being a true threat. With Curry, the Warriors can beat any team in the postseason if he elevates his game. Golden State has been a great bet lately as they are 6-0 ATS in their last six games. They are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against Memphis when playing in the Bay Area. The Warriors scored a double digit win in this same arena against the Grizzlies on May 16. We think there is a great chance they score a comfortable win tonight by 7+ points. |

05-21-21 | Cubs -1.5 v. Cardinals | 12-3 | Win | 142 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 957 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5, RL, Over STL CARDINALS (8:15pm E, Friday, May 21st) One of the great rivalries in all of baseball. The 1st place Cards against the 2nd place Cubs. Cubs' pitcher, Hendricks, is making the ball move and dance, like never before and the Cubs would love to take this series and flip things around. That's not going to be easy, but we sure like them winning tonight. Look for the Cubs to come out hot, feeding off yesterday's 5-2 win over the Nationals. |

4-Unit Play: Take 953 MILWAUKEE BREWERS -1.5, RL, OVER CINCINNATI REDS (7:10pm E, Friday, May 21st) The Brewers are playing much better baseball than the Reds, right now. It's not that they're that much better than the Reds, they're in last place in their division, for criminy - it's just that, with injuries to a few of the Reds' best players and Houser against Hoffman on the mound, we see them dominating this game, if not the series. The Reds and their powerful offense will get going, someday, but the question is when - we sure don't think it'll be tonight. |

05-21-21 | Hurricanes -135 v. Predators | 4-5 | Loss | -135 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. No. 43. Take Carolina over Nashville (Friday at 7pm) As per your selection on Carolina, we've backed them in both games so far this series, so why not try for the hattrick. I fully believe this series has a very high likelihood of ending in four games. Carolina is far and away the better team and even playing on the road won't have much affect as they were a great road team this season. Carolina's PP clicked in Game 2 like I predicted it would and I expect them to keep rolling here and shut down the Preds once again. |

05-21-21 | White Sox v. Yankees -103 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 964 NY YANKEES Over WHITE SOX (7:05pm E, Friday, May 21st) Typically, with a pitcher like Carlos Rodon, with a 1.47 ERA against Jordan Montgomery and his 4.75 ERA - It would be a no-brainer to take the White Sox, but when it's the Yankees coming back home, hungry for a win, with bats just aching to light things up, you think twice. The pinstripers and their fans don't care how hot Chicago has been - they're going to win. |

05-19-21 | Warriors +5 v. Lakers | Top | 100-103 | Win | 100 | 48 h 4 m | Show |
This game features two of the most clutch players of all time facing off in an unprecedented game of two recent championship teams playing for the right to make the playoffs. But Steph Curry has been in fine form for a long time, while LeBron has been oft injured and is just getting back into rhythm for the postseason. This team just doesn’t have a lot of chemistry right now. They won five straight to end the regular season, but they covered only two of those games and they faces teams with questionable motivation while LA had all the motivation. But they will face an extremely motivated Golden State team tonight, and the Warriors are playing well and have covered six straight games. We had the Warriors as slight favorites here and we think it’s their game to lose. |

05-19-21 | Astros -1.5 v. A's | 8-1 | Win | 150 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 975 HOUSTON ASTROS over Oakland (9:40pm E, Wednesday, May 19th) The Astros, after leading last night's game, for most of it, let it get away and it got away from us, too. Greinke is just the person Houston needs to shut down Oakland's offense and feel a little better about themselves, tonight. Altuve has a 12 game hitting streak and he'll keep that going tonight against Montas and his 4.93 ERA. Look for Houston to run away from the A's tonight. |

05-19-21 | Predators v. Hurricanes -182 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take Carolina over Nashville (Wednesday at 8pm) As per your selection on Carolina, we don't normally like to lay this kind of juice, so we are keeping the units small but we fully expect to cash this ticket. Carolina is the better team. They are better at every position and not even Nashville's supposed advantage in net came to fruition in game one as they gave up four goals and an empty netter. Carolina also went 0-4 on the powerplay and for the second-best PP in the league to do that, you know they are going to want to bounce back and put up some production. AS for Nashville, the only way they can win this game is if they muck it up and keep it to a 2-1 game. I don't see that happening and therefore I'm banking on Carolina to get up 2-0 in the series. |

05-19-21 | Indians v. Angels -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 974 LA ANGELS -1.5, RL, Over INDIANS (8:07pm E, Wednesday, May 19th) The Angel lost a game they should have won, last night, and they plan to make up for it in a big way tonight. They have one of the best teams in the bigs and one of their best pitchers, Heaney, let Cleveland off the hook last night. Tonight they have Ohtani (probably the player in the MLB) going against Civale. Ohtani is a freak of nature: he throws 100 mph and has 10 homers. The Indians would rather face ANYONE but him. Look for the Angels to put their wings on tonight and ride Ohtani to an easy win! |

05-19-21 | Spurs v. Grizzlies -3.5 | 96-100 | Win | 100 | 46 h 34 m | Show | |
Memphis won the last two meetings in blowout fashion. This seems like a team on the way up, while the Spurs seem to be on the way to irrelevance after being one of the best teams in the NBA for the last couple decades. Memphis has won five of six entering the play-in tourney. They are in good form. The playoffs are all about stars, and Ja Morant is the best player on the court here. The Grizzlies were one of the best ATS teams in the NBA this season, and we think they are undervalued here once again. They are a bit better on both sides of the ball and they have all the momentum heading into this matchup. |

05-19-21 | Fever v. Sun UNDER 162.5 | 67-88 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take UNDER 162.5 - Indiana vs Connecticut (Wednesday at 7pm) As per your selection on the UNDER, we just don't see this game turning into the track meet Vegas thinks it'll be. You have a 0-2 Indiana team that is ranked 9th in pace of play and 9th in 3pt field goals made an 7th in 3pt field goal percentage, taking on a team in Conn that's not much better, ranking behind them in the three-point categories and only one better (8th) in pace of play. Not to mention, Conn ranks 12th in free throw percentage, so you know they aren't giving us a bunch of free points at the line. I expect this game to be a slow sleepy affair and with Indiana coming off two losses to the Liberty, I expect their first method of correcting the issues is to clamp down on the defensive end. As for Conn, they come in having beat Atlanta and Phx, but both spots were favorable for them, and now at home against a weaker Indiana team, I expect them to have their way, but win a low-scoring game. |

05-19-21 | Giants v. Reds +111 | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 954 CINCINNATI REDS Over Giants (6:40pm E, Wednesday, May 19th The Reds have had it with the Giants. Cincinnati is a very good offensive team and really supposed to be at home. They haven't shown it in this series against the Giants. The wind is blowing in, at the All American Ballpark, today, but expect the Reds to still put up crooked numbers today. You have Miley against Gausman and his 1.85 ERA, but watch that ERA move up a few points today. Look for the Reds to dominate this game and finish off this series with a bang! |

05-19-21 | White Sox v. Twins +118 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 43 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 966 MINNESOTA TWINS Over WHITE SOX (1:10pm E, Wednesday, May 19th) Twins are frustrated with the White Sox (they want to win ALL their home games against Chicago). They picked up a win, yesterday, with Ober filling in for Pineda, but that doesn't make them happy - they REALLY want a win, today - they're a good ballclub. With Shoemaker on the mound, for Minnesota against Giolito for the Sox and both with their high ERAs, look for a high-scoring game, with the good-hitting and slugging Twins coming out on top. |

05-18-21 | Wizards +2 v. Celtics | Top | 100-118 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 6 m | Show |
Just think this season is a wash for the Celtics. Jaylen Brown went down for the season. That seemed to take the air out of this Celtics team that looked off anyways. They have dealt with many injuries all season and never got to develop the necessary chemistry needed for a championship run. They lost five of six games to close out the season, and they didn’t reach the century mark on offense in three of those games. They are banged up heading into this game with key players nursing a variety of injuries. The Wizards got off to a slow start this season, but they have been playing as well as anyone in the NBA lately. They have been a covering machine as they have covered the majority of their games over the last month or so. They are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 road games. They are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. The last five meetings have all gone under the posted number. |

05-18-21 | Hornets v. Pacers -3 | 117-144 | Win | 100 | 21 h 37 m | Show | |
We think this line is short. We were expecting a bigger number and think there’s decent value here tonight. The Hornets are backing into the play-in tournament and they have lost five straight. This play-in is new and we don’t have many trends to rely on, but this tournament seems built for teams that are in good form, and the Hornets don’t seem to be that team. The Pacers have been playing a lot better and have won three of five, and they have been a hot ATS team as they are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games. Indiana has all the postseason experience here and this is a new ballgame for the Hornets. We think the Pacers will win comfortably here. |

4-Unit Play. No. 04. Take Carolina over Nashville (Monday at 8pm) As per your selection on Carolina, we believe this is a great spot for them to get the upper hand in the series by taking Game 1. The Canes are the better team, have the better goaltending and have the better defensive and offense records. This game and series will be won and lost on special teams and with Carolina boasting the league's 2nd best power play, and Nashville boasting the 3rd worst penalty kill, we see Carolina capitalizing on their chances and pulling away from the Preds. Not to mention, at 5 on 5, Carolina has more skill and talent. |

05-17-21 | Yankees v. Rangers +245 | 2-5 | Win | 245 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 964 TEXAS RANGERS Over NY YANKEES (8:05pm, E, Monday, May 17th) Rangers over the Yankees, really? Yep! But it's hard to take the Rangers against anyone. We know, but if you're going to, now is the time. There is a lot of anxiety in the Yankee's clubhouse, due to spreading Covid, even after all have been vaccinated. Add the solid Rangers' pitcher, Lyles to that equation, and we have underdog numbers we can't pass up. Yes, even with Cole on the mound for the pinstripes. We expect a high-scoring affair and +240 is just too good to pass up when a game can, basically, go either way. Take the Rangers and let's hope for something good. |

4-Unit Play: Take 956 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5, RL, Over NATIONALS (7:40pm E, Monday, May 17th) Lot's of hitters and sluggers on both teams and the wind is blowing in, so we don't expect a 15-10 game, but we do expect enough runs to cover the "Over 8." Two or three throws over to first base, like mentioned above and this game can get out of hand quickly. The wind isn't blowing hard enough to keep sluggers, on both sides, from taking it out of the park. |

05-17-21 | Nationals v. Cubs OVER 8 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 956 CUBS/NATIONALS "OVER 8 RUNS (7:40pm E, Monday, May 17th) Cubs beat the inconsistent Tigers, yesterday, but they need some time at home to really get themselves back on track. Jon Lester is coming home to Wrigley and there isn't a team out there (except maybe the Red Sox, that know him any better. Watch how often the Cubs try to steal - they know he hates to throw to first base and it can turn into a little league game quickly, with Lester on the mound. |

05-17-21 | Mets v. Braves -1.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 954 ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5, RL, (7:10pm E, Monday, May 17th) A week ago, this preview would, most likely be, much different. The Braves hadn't begun lighting up the scoreboard, yet and the Mets were in the middle of a 7 game win streak. The Mets roster, now, looks like the list from a trauma ward and the Braves are showing the energy we've been talking about, most of the year. Taijuan Walker (Mets) has almost a third the ERA of Max Fried, but that's a little deceiving. Look for the Braves to score enough runs to easily carry the Run Line. |
|||||||
05-16-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -9 | Top | 116-132 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
Maybe both teams want the Blazers to win here? The Clippers sure looked like they tanked their last game to avoid the Lakers potentially in the first round or closer down the road. Now the Blazers are in that position. They have a chance to knock LA into the play in tourney. Denver doesn’t have any incentive to win and let the Lakers into the top 6 seeds. We see Portland going all out here and the Nuggets focusing on their first-round opponent, which could possibly be these Blazers, so why would they want to give too much away? |

05-16-21 | Mercury v. Sun | 78-86 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Connecticut over Phoenix (Sunday at 7pm) No time for a lengthy write up. Both teams are 1-0 on the season but it was Connecticut who looked the better of the two teams in their games. Now they return home to open up the home portion of the schedule and we see them having too much depth and fire power for the Mercury to handle. Don't get me wrong, the Mercury are a good team and have a solid big three, but this being their second road game to start the season with travel across the country, look for Connecticut to come out early and dominate this game. |

05-16-21 | Wild v. Golden Knights -155 | 1-0 | Loss | -155 | 2 h 10 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Vegas over Minnesota (Sunday at 3pm) As per your selection on Vegas, this first game is important to both teams, but I think Vegas needs it more from a psychological perspective. Look, Vegas is the better team. They finished second tied with Colorado for the best record in the league, but they had a losing record against Minnesota in the regular season. I don't expect that to continue as I believe Vegas is Cup Bound if they get one or two breaks go their way. Winning game 1 on home ice will be the start they crave and with solid numbers across the board, I say they get it. |
