05-16-21 | A's v. Twins -1.5 | 7-6 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 38 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 920 MINNESOTA TWINS -1.5, RL, +170 Over OAKLAND (2:10 pm E, Sunday, May 16th) Minnesota is finally starting to play like they did the first part of the season. This is a darn good team, folks, and they can flat out hammer the ball. With Maeda on the mound, look for them to look like the slugging team they are, today and win this game going away. They are the third best slugging team in the American League and they'll show it off today for their hometown crowd. It's about time! |

05-16-21 | Sam Houston State +5.5 v. South Dakota State | Top | 23-21 | Win | 100 | 49 h 54 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take 308903 Sam Houston State Bearkats over South Dakota State Jackrabbits (2p.m., Sunday, May 16 ABC) The line is going up and I feel that the Bearkats have what it takes to take this game down to the wire. The Missouri Valley Conference was not as strong this season, but still got credit based on the strength of NDSU this decade. The Jackrabbits are the best team in the league, but this will be far and away the most explosive team they have seen in 2021. San Houston State had no business winning last week against James Madison, but they scored 28 points in under 3 minutes and held on against James Madison last week. They have a huge edge in this game since it is being played in Texas and they can bus to the game (about a 3-hour trip). This game will go down to the wire and we will come out on top with whoever pulls it out by a field goal. |
|||||||
05-16-21 | Celtics v. Knicks UNDER 211.5 | 92-96 | Win | 100 | 1 h 49 m | Show | |
Boston is solidified in their play-in tourney position and we think this is a throwaway game for them. We don’t see starters getting too many minutes. The Knicks have been the top defensive team all season and we think they will want to finish the regular season with a strong defensive performance against a bitter rival. The under is 4-1 in their last five and they have been excellent on the defensive and. The under is 5-1 in the last six meetings, and we expect that trend to continue here on Sunday. |
|||||||
05-15-21 | Indians v. Mariners -102 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 974 SEATTLE MARINERS Over CLEVELAND INDIANS (9:10pm E, Saturday, May 15th) The Mariners are getting back to their early season form. Look for them to build on their 7-3 win, last night, with another win over the Indians. Both pitchers, McKenzie and Sheffield have ERAs in the high 4s, but Seattle is a tough place to play and Seattle plays to the strengths in their park, better than anyone. The wind is blowing that heavy, night air in, and we're going to take the team with the most speed and who knows how to play small ball. That's the Mariners! |
|||||||
05-15-21 | Bruins v. Capitals +115 | 2-3 | Win | 115 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Washington over Boston (Saturday at 7pm) As per your selection on Washington to get the early lead in the series, we had the UNDER 5.5 in the final regular-season meeting between these two, and Washington won 2-1. In that game, Boston sat out nearly everyone in preparation for this contest. However, Washington is still the better team when the lineups are fully loaded and I think playing at home will give them an edge in Game 1 as they will want to get off to a fast start. The regular-season series was tied up at 4-4, and so this series is going to be close all the way throughout. I think Washington has the upper hand coming into this one as they won 4 of 5 to close the season whereas Boston lost three of five. |
|||||||
05-15-21 | Braves -1.5 v. Brewers | 5-1 | Win | 148 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take: 953 ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5, RL, BREWERS (7:10pm E, Saturday, May 15th) Atlanta is starting to come to life and man, do they have energy. We think as much as any team in baseball. Milwaukee is more of a slugging team and with drizzle and wind blowing in at over 10 mph, we're going to give the nod to the team who'll get the most base hits and who has the most energy and can steal a run, now and then. On the hill, it's the battle of the Andersons, both with ERAs hanging around 3.50. We like the Braves to build off yesterday's victory and run away with this one. |
|||||||
05-15-21 | Angels -1.5 v. Red Sox | 0-9 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 42 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take: 965 LA ANGELS -1.5, RL, Over RED SOX (4:10pm E, Saturday, May 15th) The Angels look to break a 3-game losing streak in Boston, today. Typically, we might take Boston in this spot, but the wind is blowing out to the Green Monster and there are few better slugging teams in the bigs, than the Angels. Everyone who comes to the plate, looks like they should take it out of the park. Boston is a great slugging team, too. Though the small home ballpark helps a little. Dylan Bundy and Martin Perez (Boston) take the mound, both looking for their first win of the season. We like the Angels to stun Boston, with the wind blowing to left field, in their own ballpark, today. |
|||||||
05-15-21 | Aces +2.5 v. Storm | 83-97 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 29 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. No. 611. Take Vegas over Seattle (Saturday at 3pm) In what is a finals rematch from a season ago, the Vegas Aces travel to Seattle to take on the defending Champions Storm in what should be a great game. There are a few reasons we like the Aces to grab the cover and potentially come away with a win. First, this is a revenge game from getting swept in the finals. The Aces know all too well what it's like to be on the wrong end of games against the Storm and while they did put up a fight last year, they were still without the services of Cambage and Plum. This year, those two figures return to the lineup and we believe that gives them the edge of the Storm who may suffer from a bit of a letdown here despite it being the home opener. Vegas has a very versatile and well-rounded team and the addition of Cambage will give the Storm fits down low on both ends. I expect Vegas to come out with some urgency and a purpose and keep this game within a one-bucket score and probably win the game outright. |
|||||||
05-15-21 | Celtics v. Wolves -5 | 124-108 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 60 m | Show | |
The Celtics have lost four straight. This team will not have many starters in the game today because of injuries or rest. This looks like a team that just wants to focus on the play in tourney next week. Minnesota got off to a real bad start to the season and a lot of that had to do with injuries. But this team has played a lot better down the stretch and has the look of a team that wants to end the season on a positive note. We don’t think Boston cares much about this game as they have their sights set on next week. |
|||||||
05-15-21 | Mets v. Rays -1.5 | 5-12 | Win | 145 | 2 h 41 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play: Take 976 TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5, RL Over NY METS (1:10pm E, Saturday, May 15th) Rays got a good pitching performance, yesterday, from Glasnow and look to keep the Mets down again, today. Rays are finally beginning to look like the reigning American League Champs. Today NY sends out Drew Smith, who hasn't pitched enough to have a real ERA - we don't see him staying in, long. Compare that to Shane McClanahan's 3.75 and you've all the reasons you need from the pitching side and Rays are a better hitting team and are just now starting to show it. Take the Rays to get the Mets closer to the .500 team, they're more comfortable being. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Wings v. Sparks -4.5 | 94-71 | Loss | -116 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take Los Angeles over Dallas (Friday at 10:30pm) As per your selection on the Sparks to get the cover vs the Wings, we know LA is hungry for success and everything they did in the offseason was to better the team and get them over the hump in the playoffs. This Sparks team did lose Parker and Gray, but they have excellent depth and talent to make up for the absence of those two key contributors from last year. The Sparks will benefit from opening up at home and I expect them to come out and make a statement right from the opening tip. As for Dallas, they have a very young group of players and the experience and talent level is simply not on par with that of the Sparks. Dallas will likely rely on four rookies this season to contribute right away and with limit training camp/preseason, we should see confusion and a lack of cohesiveness out of the Wings as a team. Look for LA to cover this spread. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Cardinals v. Padres -1.5 | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 52 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 912 SAN DIEGO PADRES -1.5, RL Over St. Louis Cardinals (10:10pm E, Friday, May 14th) The Cardinals are playing good ball this year, but San Diego, at night, is a tough place to play, the first game of a series, especially after a tough and tiring series with the Brewers. Johan Oviedo and his 4.61 ERA takes the hill against the Padres' Joe Musgrove and his 3.23 Earned Run Average.We like the Padres in a low-scoring affair, due the heavy night air of San Diego. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Indians v. Mariners -101 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 926 SEATTLE MARINERS Over CLEVELAND (10:10pm E, Friday, May 14th) Though they've tapered off a bit lately, the Mariners have surprised the baseball world with their good start to the season. Mitch Haniger, the Mariners' right fielder, already has 27 RBIs in this short season and we're looking for him to stay hot. The Indians have definitely looked good their last 10 games, going 9-1, but look for the Mariners to slow that down, tonight. Seattle is not a friendly place to play at night and we look for Seattle to jump on this first game of the series. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Reds v. Rockies -1.5 | 6-9 | Win | 160 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 906 COLORADO ROCKIES Over CINCINNATI (8:40pm E, Friday, May 14th) The Rockies are in a rebuilding year, but you wouldn't know it by yesterday's 13-8 whipping of the Reds - and it really wasn't even that close. We like them to take that confidence into today's game. Wade Miley, for the Reds, has looked good this year, but the thin air of Denver makes it an interesting place to play. We don't like the Rockies in a lot of games, but after yesterday, we sure like them today, especially the way they're hitting. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Nuggets v. Pistons +8.5 | Top | 104-91 | Loss | -101 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
Despite a 20-50 record, the Pistons are 35-33-2 against the spread. They get too many points on a regular basis. This team is building something good, and the players play hard and play until the final buzzer. Do they get blown out from time to time? Sure. There is a lot of developing talent on this team. But they get an A most nights for hustle, and this has the look of a team that wants to finish the season on a positive note. This team is 26-16-1 ATS when getting five or more points this season, so they are a pretty safe bet as a big underdog. Denver has been overrated by the oddsmakers as they are 1-4 ATS in their last five. This team is pretty secure in their postseason positioning and we just think they have their eyes towards the playoffs now and they aren’t going all out here in Detroit. The Pistons have covered in five of seven meetings. We expect a close game here, and a SU win by the home team wouldn’t be shocking. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Maple Leafs v. Jets +139 | 2-4 | Win | 139 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. No. 044. Take Winnipeg over Toronto (Friday at 8pm) Be sure to get signed up for a season-long package! As per your selection on Winnipeg, this game means nothing to either team as both playoff matches are set in the North Division, but I do believe Winnipeg is the team that needs this game more as they have been spiraling out of control down the stretch and I think a good 60-minutes of hockey against an elite team like Toronto would go along way in prepping them for their playoff series against Edmonton. Toronto has been playing solid hockey of late, but dropping the game to Ottawa the other night, you can tell they are focused on Montreal and now having to travel across the country to Winnipeg in an even more meaningless game, I think we see a little sluggishness out of the group, and I think Winnipeg should be able to pull out the win. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Cubs v. Tigers +119 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 928 DETROIT TIGERS Over CHICAGO CUBS (7:10pm E, Friday, May 14th) The consensus would normally be to take the Cubs in this situation, but not today. Cubs are playing lousy baseball and, with Arrieta back from a thumb injury, we don't see things changing for Chicago, at least not today. The Tigers, on the other hand, are playing over their heads and we think they'll take this game today, as they seem to be gaining more and more confidence at home. Skubal is pitching well, the team is hitting well, so what more do you want out of a team playing at home, the first game of the series? Tigers win today and not by a little. |
|||||||
05-13-21 | Blazers +4.5 v. Suns | 117-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Portland is one of the main teams that need a win tonight. There are three teams trying to stay out of the play-in tournament – Portland, LA Lakers and Dallas – and right now the Blazers are on the right side of the standings. A win here would go a long way to securing their spot. They have been road warriors lately, covering in six of their last seven road games. The Suns are pretty secure in their playoff seeding and this game has no real importance to them compared to Portland. We think the road team will pull out all the stops to win this one. |
|||||||
05-13-21 | Yankees v. Rays +120 | 1-9 | Win | 120 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 968 TAMPA BAY RAYS OVER YANKEES (7:10pm E, Thursday, May 13th) Tampa Bay isn't getting much love from the oddsmakers, this year, as the reigning American League Champs. We like them at home tonight, mainly because Garret Cole isn't on the mound. The Yankees will be going with Jameson Taillon and his over 5 ERA (quite a contrast from last night) and the Rays will have veteran Rich Hill on the hill. Needless to say, these teams don't like one another, so we'll take the home team to make up for last night's 1-0 loss with a plethora of runs, tonight. |
|||||||
05-13-21 | Clippers -8 v. Hornets | Top | 113-90 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
We were really impressed by the Clippers last win over Toronto. This has the look of a team that is getting healthy at the right time and wants to build some momentum heading into the playoffs. Ibaka is the only main player that will be out tonight. The Clippers have had a real light schedule down the stretch, so they should have plenty of energy here. And they have covered in four of the last five meetings. |
|||||||
05-13-21 | Royals v. Tigers -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 37 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take DETROIT TIGERS -1.5, RL, OVER KC ROYALS (1:10pm E, Thursday, May 13th) If it didn't fit our System so well, this would be a tough play for us to make, but it does and we succeed because we're true to our System. The Royals are looking to stop a 10-game skid and Lynch, with his astronomical ERA isn't the guy to do it and Turnbull, for Detroit is not the guy to let them. Detroit has had a lousy year, thus far, but when a Tiger smells meat, it attacks. We expect that, today. The Tigers have NO sympathy for the Royals and, if they can beat them by 10, they will. We think they'll win handily. |
|||||||
05-12-21 | Celtics -7 v. Cavs | 94-102 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Boston has lost three straight, but that has been against much tougher competition then they will see tonight. This has all the signs of a Get Right game against the Cavs, and we think Boston will be primed for a big win. They probably can’t avoid the play-in tourney, but they can at least build some momentum for the postseason, and that is much needed right now. Cleveland is 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven home games despite some generous lines from the oddsmakers, and we think the road team has a great chance for a double digit win. |
|||||||
05-12-21 | Blue Jays v. Braves -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 926 ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5, RL, Over TORONTO (7:20 E, Wednesday, May 12th) The Atlanta Braves have been hit and miss this year, so far. One day the offense shows up, the next it doesn't - and it's a very good offense, when it's clicking. Ryu and his 3.31 ERA is, of course, a really good pitcher and Fried, for the Braves has a very deceiving 8.44 ERA. So, if all you look at is ERAs, you'd take the Blue Jays, but there is so much more to this game: it's in Atlanta; Braves have very few injuries and will light it up today! |
|||||||
05-12-21 | Wizards +6.5 v. Hawks | 116-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
These teams played in Washington on Monday and the Hawks won by one point. It’s tough to beat the same team twice in a row, and we think the Wizards have a great chance to win this one. The points are an added bonus. Beal should play here. Washington has been playing as well as any team in the East since a slow start. They are one of the best ATS teams in the NBA this season. And we think they are getting too many points once again. |
|||||||
05-12-21 | Padres v. Rockies OVER 6.5 | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play: Take 903 PADRES/ROCKIES "OVER", Game 1 (3:10pm E, Wednesday, May 12th) Another line we don't get. 6.5 total runs in Denver? Yes Darvish is an excellent pitcher with his 2.27 ERA and Jon Gray with his 3.12 and, yes, the wind is blowing right to left and slightly in, but this is Denver and we don't care if a tornado is passing through, the Padres should reach that total on their own. Look for this game to go over, easily. |
|||||||
05-12-21 | Cubs v. Indians -1.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 45 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take CLEVELAND INDIANS -1.5, RL Over CUBS (1:10pm E, Wednesday, May 12th) We don't get this line. The Indians are a VERY GOOD team, this year and with the Cub's Davies ERA at 6.30, it just doesn't make sense. Sam Hentges is not a lot better at 5.00, but the Indians have a much better offense and should dominate this game, especially at home. Cleveland just barely slid by them yesterday, but we like a lot more runs in this one and an Indian’s victory. |
|||||||
05-12-21 | Orioles +170 v. Mets | 1-7 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 47 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 921 BALTIMORE ORIOLES +160 Over NY METS (12:10pm E, Wednesday, May 12th) The Mets snuck by the Orioles last night, but we see a different result today. Baltimore's bats are beginning to come to life and they have Harvey on the Mound. Granted Taijuan Walker is a darn good pitcher, with his 2.38 ERA, but he's not +180 better than Matt Harvey and his 3.60. The wind is blowing in at 11 mph, so don't expect a lot of runs today, but do expect the Orioles to come out on top. |
|||||||
05-11-21 | Knicks v. Lakers UNDER 214 | 99-101 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
These are the Top 2 defensive teams in the NBA. This game should have a playoff atmosphere. We think these top defenses will be on display tonight. The Lakers are getting LeBron back likely tonight, but he will probably be rusty after missing some games. They are desperate and in must-win mode since they are as of now in the play in tournament. They will want to do their best to move up and avoid that. This is a major rivalry for the Knicks. Everything about this matchup tells us these two teams will likely go all out on defense, and we think this total is too high for two Top 2 defenses. |
|||||||
05-11-21 | Magic v. Bucks -13 | Top | 102-114 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
The Magic have suffered two 30+-point losses in their last three games. This team is so wracked with injuries they are fielding a G League-level team right now. And this team stunk before all the injuries. Those big losses were to Minnesota and Boston, one team that stinks and one that is not playing well. The Bucks are in on a back-to-back, and they suffered one of their worst losses of the season last night in San Antonio. They lost by 20+ in what was obviously an off game. We like to back a good team after an embarrassing loss like that as they normally give a lot better effort in their next game. Even on a B2B they should have enough energy to beat this Magic team without breaking too much of a sweat. The Magic haven’t covered in the last six games in this series, and we think they run into a buzzsaw tonight against a Bucks team that will want to remove the bad taste their loss from last night left them. |
|||||||
05-11-21 | Angels v. Astros -1.5 | 1-5 | Win | 140 | 3 h 41 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 970 HOUSTON ASTROS -1.5, RL Over LA ANGELS (8:10pm E, Tuesday, May 11th) We know, it's hard to go against the Angels when Ohtani's pitching and he's got a darn good bat, too. One of the most fun players to watch in baseball and he's probably the best on the mound and with the bat, since Babe Ruth (good company to be in). But, don't overlook Lance McCullers and the Houston lineup, at home. McCullers is pitching about as well as anyone and Houston is a hard place for visiting pitchers - it can get away from them fast. We like the Astros to start this series off with a big win. |
|||||||
05-11-21 | Orioles v. Mets -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 41 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 976 NY METS -1.5, RL Over BALTIMORE (7:10pm E, Tuesday, May 11th) Yes, we know what you're thinking: "But Means just threw a no-hitter his last time out - almost a perfect game." We know, we watched it and that's exactly why we're taking Stroman (who's no slouch) and the Mets, at home. If you watch much PGA Tour Golf, you'll notice that when guys shoot 63 on Thursday, they usually follow that up with an even par day (or worse) on Friday. Why? Because Thursday was so easy and EVERYTHING went their way, so they take things for granted and (usually) everything doesn't go so well on Friday. Same thing with a no-hitter. Means will take things for granted and the pitches won't react the same in New York. Baltimore is coming off a big win, which we predicted, yesterday. We expect things to be much different, today. |
|||||||
05-11-21 | Bruins v. Capitals UNDER 5.5 | 1-2 | Win | 102 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take UNDER 5.5 Goals - Washington vs Boston (Tuesday at 7pm) As per your selection on the UNDER 5.5 goals in this Washington vs Boston game, we will keep the analysis short and sweet. These two teams are hooking up in the first round of the playoffs and this game is going to set the tone for the playoff series. Look for both teams to start finishing every hit and sending a message to the opponent that they aren't going to be pushed around. Boston has gone UNDER 5.5 in three of their last 5 while Washington is coming off a low-scoring 2-1 game vs Philly. |
|||||||
05-11-21 | Phillies v. Nationals -1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 37 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 954 WASHINGTON NATIONALS -1.5, RL Over PHILLIES (7:05pm E, Tuesday, May 11th) We've said this so many times, but the Nationals are loaded, up and down the lineup, with sluggers. Phillies have a few of their own, but it seems like everyone but the pitcher can take it yard for the Nats. Both Chase Anderson and Eric Fedde have ERAs over 5 and we think that favors the team with the most sluggers. Look for Washington, at home, to take game one of this series. |
|||||||
05-10-21 | Rangers +135 v. Giants | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 911 TEXAS RANGERS OVER SAN FRANCISCO (9:45 pm E, Monday, May 10th) The Rangers will start Kyle Gibson against the Giants' Alex Wood in what should be a pitching duel in San Fran, tonight. The wind is blowing out at 10 mph, but that doesn't mean a lot in San Francisco, with the heavy night air. Both pitchers have ERAs around 2, but we like the Rangers' bats in this matchup. Texas has a good 9-8 away record and we like them to outscore the Giants, tonight. |
|||||||
05-10-21 | Bucks v. Spurs OVER 233.5 | Top | 125-146 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
The Bucks have been playing some ridiculously high scoring games lately. They have combined for 269 points or more in two straight games. Their offense is clicking very well and they are content to light up the scoreboard instead of bore down on defense. The Spurs are real close to missing the playoffs as they sit in the No. 10 spot in the West. They need a win here. They have not played well recently but we expect them to be competitive here in a must-win game. They should be able to score on the Bucks and we doubt this one will be a blowout so both teams should get their points. The over has cashed in this series for years as these teams don’t meet often, but the over is a perfect 6-0 in the last six meetings. We expect a barnburner tonight. |
|||||||
05-10-21 | Stars v. Blackhawks +120 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 59 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. No. 08. Take Chicago over Dallas (Monday at 8pm) As per your selection on Chicago, despite missing the playoffs, they are playing with a good team spirit and they are getting guys up and down the lineup to buy in and contribute and fight for their jobs for next season. They have won two straight games and we like them to make it three in a row to end the season against a Stars team that is just playing brutal hockey. They had a chance to catch Nashville for the fourth and final playoff spot but blew that shot and now they are out of the postseason and have nothing to play for. Given the fact that this is the Star's final game of the season and the seventh straight road game, we see them mailing it in and trying to get back home as quickly as possible. Expect a poor effort from Dallas, while Chicago comes out and looks to build on some momentum to carry into next season. |
|||||||
05-10-21 | Red Sox v. Orioles +127 | 1-4 | Win | 127 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 908 BALTIMORE Over BOSTON (7:05pm E, Monday, May 10th) The Red Sox barely slid by the Orioles, yesterday, but we don't see that happening today. Jorge Lopez takes the hill for Baltimore against Boston's Martin Perez as they try to break a 3-game losing streak. If it's going to happen, it'll happen at home and if the Orioles' bats finally heat up, you should see a high scoring game with them coming out on top. |
|||||||
05-10-21 | Reds -1.5 v. Pirates | 14-1 | Win | 116 | 2 h 32 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 901 CINCINNATI REDS -1.5, RL, Over PIRATES (6:35 pm E, Monday, May 10th) Pirates are playing good ball and they were our 7 Unit Play, yesterday, but they don't match up well with the Reds. The Big Red Machine has a stacked offense this year and, though they haven't shown it as much lately, look for it to breakout against the weaker and injured Pirates. The Pirates first base slugger, Moran, is still injured with a groin injury from Saturday's game and Votto, for the Reds is out, as well, so those two even out, but the rest of the Pittsburgh lineup doesn't match up at all and the Reds should roll today, with Jeff Hoffman on the mound and against Mitch Keller's 6.29 ERA. |

05-09-21 | Wolves v. Magic +8 | Top | 128-96 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
As bad as the Magic have been playing, the Wolves are not in a position of power to be laying more than seven on the road to anyone. This is the biggest favorite they have been all season. The Wolves have lost three straight and didn’t cover in any of those games. The Magic have won and covered in three of their last six games, so they aren’t playing that bad right now overall. There is more talent on the Wolves side for sure, but we think this is an inflated number. |

05-09-21 | Pirates +143 v. Cubs | 6-5 | Win | 143 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play: Take 957 PITTSBURGH PIRATES +140 Over CUBS (2:20pm E, Sunday, May 9th) Tyler Anderson, for the Pirates, has nearly half the ERA of the Cubs' Kyle Hendricks. Hard to believe, especially after the stuff we saw Hendricks throw against Kershaw and the Dodgers, last week. As we said the other day, the wind blowing in, at Wrigley, makes it super hard to hit home runs, but when it's blowing straight in at 15 MPH, it takes all the "stuff" off of pitches, making the ball easier to hit. Pirates have been right there, the first two games of this series and tried to catch up in the ninth, coming very close, both times. Look for them to get out of the box earlier, today, and put pressure on Chicago's bullpen, which has not been good, those first two games. |
|||||||
05-08-21 | Dodgers v. Angels +130 | 14-11 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 930 LA ANGELS Over LA DODGERS (9:07pm E, Saturday, May 8th) After his showing in Chicago, last week (didn't get out of the 1st inning), we think Kershaw needs a home game to right himself, not a crosstown rival. His control was awful, last week and they hit him like a punching bag. This Angels team is a better hitting team than the Cubs, so if he comes with anything like he had in Chicago, the Angels will exploit it early. We don't think we've ever gone against Kershaw twice in a row, but after what we saw last week, we feel this one calls for it. Dodgers aren't hitting well, either, so look for LAA to win this by a few.....or more. |
|||||||
05-08-21 | Hurricanes v. Predators +109 | 1-3 | Win | 109 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take Nashville over Carolina (Saturday at 8pm) As per your selection on Nashville, we believe they will be the hungrier of the two sides tonight and they should skate away to a victory. Look, there's no doubt about who the best team on the ice tonight is - that's Carolina. But the Hurricanes just clinched the division and will have nothing left to play for the remaining few games. Nashville is fighting for their postseason lives and with Dallas winning yesterday to pull within two points of the Preds for fourth, the Preds know they need to find a way to must at least two points in their remaining two games -both against the Hurricanes. That motivation alone should be enough to see the Preds come away with the much-needed win and potentially clinching a playoff birth as early as tomorrow. |
|||||||
05-08-21 | Rays -1.5 v. A's | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 30 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 913 TAMPA BAY -1.5, RL, Over OAKLAND (4:07pm E, Saturday, May 8th) Rays' Glasnow has a third of the ERA of Montas, so look for Tampa Bay to jump on the A's early and keep the pedal down. If they can get 6 innings + out of Glasnow, they should be able to cruise home. Rays haven't gotten much respect this year, yet, but we like them getting hot, before the All Star break. It starts right here and this should be a blowout. |
|||||||
05-08-21 | Nationals +110 v. Yankees | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 55 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 925 WASHINGTON NATIONALS Over NY YANKEES (1:05pm E, Saturday, May 8th) Max Scherzer, of the Nationals, and his 2.54 ERA , just doesn't seem to get much love, anymore. Now, he is going against Kluber, with just over a 3.00 ERA, but you can actually throw those numbers out, against these two teams. Both teams are loaded with sluggers and the Nats are hitting better than the Yanks, right now. With Soto back and a plethora of good hitters, we're going to take Scherzer to keep the NY bats quiet, at least through the first six innings. |
|||||||
05-08-21 | James Madison +1 v. Sam Houston State | Top | 35-38 | Loss | -115 | 49 h 1 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #308973 James Madison Dukes over Sam Houston State Bearkats (2:30p.m., Saturday, May 8 ABC) A battle of unbeatens is set to do battle at Bowers Stadium in Huntsville, TX on Saturday with a television broadcast on ABC. The Dukes are outstanding at ball control and I feel they have the better defense in this game. James Madison honestly believes they should be hosting this game and expect them to make a statement in this game as they advance onto the championship game (also being played in Texas). SHS is coming off a big win last week against North Dakota State, the dominate team over the last decade in FCS and I just do not know how much left they will have for this game. NDSU was nowhere near as strong this season and SHS still had to hold onto dear life to beat them. JMU has a much better quarterback than what NDSU showed last week and that will be the different today. |
|||||||
05-08-21 | Pirates v. Cubs OVER 8 | 2-3 | Loss | -107 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 903 PIRATES/CUBS "OVER" (2:20pm E, Saturday, May 8th) A low scoring game, yesterday, as we expected, but there were plenty left on base and both these teams are hitting well. The pitchers, Crowe and Williams, aren't necessarily household names, so we see this total going over, fairly easily. Rizzo is hitting the ball as hard as ever and Baez hits everything hard, it seems. The wind is blowing in, which is why the total is so low, but there were plenty of base hits yesterday and it's a little easier wind today. A hard hit ball should make it out in left field. |
|||||||
05-07-21 | Spurs -4 v. Kings | 113-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Popovich has the Spurs playing well down the stretch. They haven’t had much to show for it in the W/L column as they lost two crucial games in OT. They are coming off a blowout loss vs. Utah and we always like to back a solid team after an embarrassing loss. The Spurs are barely clinging on to the No. 10 spot in the West and the last spot in the play-in tournament. Sacramento is still alive, but barely. Sacramento has seen some mild success lately. But we just don’t believe in this team in a must-win game against a more talented Spurs squad and one that is better coached. |
|||||||
05-07-21 | Dodgers v. Angels +145 | 2-9 | Win | 145 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 980 LA ANGELS Over LA DODGERS (9:38pm E, Friday, May 7th) Look for the Angels to end their 5-game losing streak against their crosstown rival, Dodgers. The Dodgers' Urias has half the ERA of Canning, but with Albert Pujols gone (Let go 2 mos. in to the 10th - final - year of a $240M contract) and time to get on with the season, look for the Angels to come out swinging and put a lot of runs on the board. There's no team they'd rather beat than the Los Angeles Dodgers! |
|||||||
05-07-21 | Nuggets v. Jazz -4 | 120-127 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Both teams are dealing with injuries but we think the Jazz are the better team and they have better weathered their injury status. We are very impressed with their last two games as they swept a desperate Spurs team that is fighting for their playoff lives. We expected this number to come out closer to 6, and with a lean to Utah at that number, so we are going with the value here tonight. |
|||||||
05-07-21 | Celtics -4 v. Bulls | Top | 99-121 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
Boston is rested. They had the night off Thursday, and before their 36-point domination of Orlando last time out, they had two days off before that. The Bulls are coming in on a back-to-back. They won last night but had dropped four straight before that, so they aren’t in great form right now. The Bulls are the more desperate team. They are four games out of the last spot in the playoff play-in, with six games left. They are done. And they have been playing like it. They are here in the spot out of the playoffs because they aren’t a very good team. Boston has a lot to play for as they are on the bubble of the play in tourney, but they are currently No. 6. They control their own destiny to avoid the play in. And most importantly, they have been a great bet in this series as they are 4-1 ATS in their last five in Chicago and 12-3 ATS overall in the last 15 meetings. The Bulls got a rare win in this series last month, but we don’t see it happening twice in a row. |
|||||||
05-07-21 | Brewers v. Marlins OVER 6.5 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 953 BREWERS/MARLINS "OVER" (7:10pm E, Friday, May 7th) Yes, Suter and Rogers are excellent pitchers and, yes, this should be a pitcher's duel, and yes, the wind is blowing straight in at 10 mph. So, take the Under, right? Nope! Wind blowing straight in bothers pitchers a bunch. It turns almost everything into a fastball, by taking the spin off of pitches. These are two good-hitting teams and they should have no problem getting 7 Runs, against fastballs, all day. |
|||||||
05-07-21 | Stars v. Lightning -143 | 5-2 | Loss | -143 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over Dallas (Friday at 7pm) If it ain't broke, it don't need fixing. The Tampa Bay Lightning have dominated the Stars so far this season and I see much of the same here tonight. The Lightning made easy work of the Stars two nights ago winning 6-2. Dallas is on the outside of the playoff looking in and with very few games left it looks like they are going to be hitting the links early. The problem with Dallas is they can't score. They have very few offensive options and the Lightning are among the best teams in the league at both ends of the ice- scoring and keeping the puck out of their net. The Stars will be playing their fifth road game tonight and will travel to Chicago after this for two to finish out the season. With the season essentially done, we don't see the Stars showing up motivated tonight. TB has been dominant at home and are scoring goals for fun. Look for the Lightning to dominate this game and skate out to another comfortable win. |

05-07-21 | Nationals v. Yankees -1.5 | 11-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 976 NY YANKEES -1.5 RL Over NATIONALS (7:05pm E, Friday, May 8th) The Yankees can't feel good losing their last game of the series to the Astros. After the cheating scandal in 2019, they (and their fans) wanted a sweep in the worst way. We think they'll come out steaming, this afternoon and, as well, Manager Aaron Boone is pushing them hard to win the first game of every series - you do that and you'll probably win your division. Nats pitcher, Corbin, doesn't impress us and the Yanks have a great bullpen, just in case Taillon and his 5.24 ERA gets in trouble. Soto is back for the Nats, but we don't think he'll be much of a factor, with the wind blowing in. This should be a pitcher's duel and we'll take Taillon over Corbin. |
|||||||
05-07-21 | Pirates +135 v. Cubs | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 55 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 951 PITTSBURGH PIRATES Over CUBS (2:20pm E, Friday, May 7th) Fresh off of a sweep of the LA Dodgers, you might think the Cubs are the play, here, but the Pirates have shown us enough, this year, that we're going to lean on the underdog. Neither pitcher is off to a good start, so you might expect a high-scoring game, but Wrigley is funny: when the wind is blowing out, it's one of MLB's smallest parks, but when it's blowing in, it's one of the biggest. We look for low numbers on the scoreboard, today, which we think favors Cahill and the Pirates. |
|||||||
05-06-21 | Lakers v. Clippers -8 | Top | 94-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
The Clippers have been one of the best ATS teams in the league all season and the Lakers one of the worst. The Clippers haven’t been covering lately but they are as healthy right now as they have been in a long time, and they face their biggest rival tonight. The Lakers don’t really think of this as a big rivalry for them, but the Clippers do. That’s why the Clippers are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. The Clippers didn’t play well last time out vs. the Raptors but still won. We think they were looking ahead to this game a bit. We expect their best performance tonight in what should have a playoff atmosphere. But the Clippers are healthy and the Lakers aren’t, with LeBron and several key players out tonight. |

5u: Take 901 BREWERS -1.5. RL, +150 (1:05pm E, Thursday, May 6th) We'll take the way Woodruff is pitching over anyone and the Brewers can HIT! Take the Brewers to win this one, easily. |

5u: Take 909 Houston +180 Over NY YANKEES (1:05pm E, Thursday, May 6th) These two teams have similar offenses and Cole is a good pitcher, but he's not 180 better than McCullers. We'll take the value, here. |
|||||||
05-05-21 | Spurs +6.5 v. Jazz | 94-126 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
The Spurs lost to the Jazz on Monday here in Utah. They were down big in the first half but played much better in the second and kept the score respectable even though they missed the cover. But this game becomes a lot more important for San Antonio. They are two games in front of New Orleans for the last spot in the play in tourney. They need to get a win. They have lost four straight against a very tough schedule but they went to OT at Boston and vs Philly even though they couldn’t pull out the win in either of those games. The Jazz have covered in only two of their last six. They already beat the Spurs on Monday and they don’t have a lot of motivation for seeding as they seem locked into a Top 2 spot. Have to thing that Popovich, one of the best coaches in the history of the game, will have his team motivated here in this rematch. The Jazz have covered in only one of their last six home games, so they have been overrated by the oddsmakers and are missing some of their Top Guns again for this matchup. |
|||||||
05-05-21 | Wizards +3.5 v. Bucks | 134-135 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
The Wizards are the last team in for the play in tourney in the East so it’s imperative that they keep winning. They have been playing like a legit playoff team after a slow start to the season, and the oddsmakers continue to undervalue this squad. They have won seven of 10 so they are in good form. They have covered in 14 of their last 17 games, so they are not being lined correctly. The Bucks come in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. They just had a doubleheader against Brooklyn, a team they will likely cross paths with in the playoffs. They probably won’t take this game as seriously. And the Bucks haven’t been blowing teams out of the water lately. We think the Wizards will be hyped to compete here and expect them to cover. |

5-Units: Take DETROIT TIGERS OVER RED SOX Red Sox walked home with the win, yesterday, but they struggled to finish the game. Look for Detroit to get off to an early start, tonight, with Mize and make it hard for the Sox, if they don't finish better, tonight. |
|||||||
05-05-21 | Stars v. Lightning -152 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. NO. 08. Take Tampa over Dallas (Wednesday at 7pm) As per your selection on Tampa, we are going straight into fading Dallas as we've been doing all season long. Dallas is not a good team and they've lost four straight and are likely to miss out on the postseason. They did get Seguin back in the lineup, but that won't help them here against a Tampa side that has been dominant at home and that is among the best in the league at scoring and keeping the puck out of the back of their net. Tampa comes into this one off a 2-1 win vs the Red Wings, after losing 1-0 in a shootout to them the night before. They've had three days of rest and should be eager to get back on the ice and start putting up some points. Dallas is playing their sixth game in 10 nights and we expect them to be worn down by the third period. Take Tampa at a great price here tonight. |
|||||||
05-05-21 | Braves -1.5 v. Nationals | 5-3 | Win | 134 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 955 ATLANTA -1.5, RL, Over NATIONALS Fried doesn't have the record to show it, yet, but he is one damn good pitcher. Fedde is good for the Nationals, too, but just a 5.00 ERA. The two don't belong in the same ballpark and after the Braves' performance, yesterday, look for them to build on it and score, even more, than they did yesterday. This seems almost too easy. |
|||||||
05-05-21 | White Sox v. Reds -1.5 | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 53 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 980 CINCINNATI REDS -1.5, RL, Over WHITE SOX Always hard to go against Dallas Keuchel, but Sonny Gray has been pitching well and after yesterday, the Reds offense has something to prove. Look for them to prove it, in a high scoring game, today! |
|||||||
05-05-21 | White Sox v. Reds OVER 8 | 0-1 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 52 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 979 WHITE SOX/REDS "OVER" 8.5 After a scoreless game for the Reds, yesterday, but the White Sox scoring 9 runs, look for Cincy to come back today with several of their own. Wind is blowing out to left/center at over 10 mph. Only 60 degrees, but the ball doesn't have to carry a lot in Cincy, to get out of that park. We know the White Sox are seeing the ball, well. They just need some help to send this one OVER. Look for fireworks on Cinco de Mayo! |
|||||||
05-04-21 | Raptors v. Clippers -9.5 | Top | 100-105 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
The Clippers are the healthiest they have been in awhile, and their two stars are expected to play tonight. They have lost three straight and they are desperate for a win right now. They have had two nights off to regroup and should be ready here. As of right now they are set to play the Lakers in the first round. They won’t say it, but they don’t want it. They will probably do their best to move up in the seeding, and they don’t have many chances to do it left. We think they give their best effort tonight and win this one by double digits. |

05-04-21 | Blue Jays v. A's -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 165 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 926 OAKLAND -1.5, RL, +160 Over TORONTO (9:40pm, E, Tuesday, May 4th) Irvin's 3.67 ERA should be a sign that he's better than Kay's 10.80 ERA, but the oddsmakers aren't paying attention. We are. Take the A's at home to beat the Blue Jays, again. |
|||||||
05-04-21 | Rays v. Angels -1.5 | 8-3 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 924 LA ANGELS -1.5, RL, +165 (9:38pm E, Tuesday, May 4th) Mclanahan, for Tampa Bay, has a much better ERA, but don't let that fool you. Angels are as good a team and Cobb is a better pitcher. Look for the Angels to take the Rays, tonight. |
|||||||
05-04-21 | Warriors v. Pelicans -2 | 103-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
These teams played last night and the Warriors blew out the Pelicans. But it’s very hard to beat a team twice in two nights, especially on their home court. New Orleans is out of the playoff picture as things stand now. Every game is a playoff game for them if they wish to compete in the play-in tourney. Last night the Warriors jumped out to a big lead but New Orleans played with them all the rest of the game, and we expect a more complete performance from them tonight. |
|||||||
05-04-21 | Tigers +161 v. Red Sox | 7-11 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 5 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 917 DETROIT +160 Over BOSTON (7:10pm E, Tuesday, May 4th) Fulmer, for the Tigers, is pitching way too good to be getting 160 from Boston. Detroit is a sneaky team. Take them to upset the Red Sox in Fenway, tonight |

05-03-21 | Nuggets v. Lakers UNDER 215.5 | 89-93 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
This is a battle of two Top 10 defenses and we expect a low-scoring game. But we think Denver will have the stronger motivation tonight when it comes to the ATS angle. These are possible first-round opponents in the postseason. The Lakers right now are trying to get AD and LeBron back into playing shape. All they care about is to be healthy and in a good headspace come playoffs. They don’t care much about this game. The Nuggets will want to prove something, we expect, and they should bring a lot of energy here. Denver is one of the hottest teams in the league right now and they are coming off a win against the Clippers that was very impressive. |

5-Unit Play: Take 963 INDIANS -1.5, RL, Over ROYALS (8:10pm E, Monday, May 3rd) Indians are a MUCH better team than they've been showing (yes, they're really that good!). They have no holes in their offense, or defense. Civale, their starting pitcher isn't getting the credit he deserves. Take Indians to go into KC and win this 1st night of the series. If you haven't watched them, do. Every batter, except the pitcher, of course, is scary to the opposing team. |

|||||||
05-03-21 | Magic v. Pistons -1.5 | 119-112 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Orlando won last time out and they have won two of three. We just think they are satisfied and the Pistons, losers of two straight, will be the more motivated team here, especially at home. Both of these teams are dealing with long injury lists. But the Magic don’t handle success well and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five after an ATS win. The Pistons are also 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. We think the home team will show some motivation here in an easily winnable game. |

05-03-21 | Stars v. Panthers -123 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. No.50. Take Florida over Dallas (Monday at 7pm) As per your selection on Florida, this is a great spot for them to extend their winning streak to four games as they play a Stars team that is really struggling right now. The Panthers have scored 16 goals over their last three games wins and 21 over their last five (going 4-1 overall). The Panthers are playing with a confidence level that is extremely high and is one that we haven't seen them reach yet this season. They are just 2 points back of Carolina for first in the Central and they are tied with Tampa (73 points) for second. This game means a ton to Florida. As for Dallas, well, they aren't very good. They've lost three straight games scoring just 1 total goal and have been shut out in back-to-back games. I don't see them all of a sudden flipping the switch and putting up 5 tonight. Florida is the better team and this is a great price to get them at. |

05-03-21 | Brewers v. Phillies -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 952 PHILLIES -1.5, RL (7:05pm E, Monday, May 3rd) Philadelphia is coming off a heart-breaking Sunday night loss. They will come out ready to play tonight. Valasquez is in "prove myself" mode, as he takes the mound with an over 6 ERA. We expect the Phillies to redeem last night's loss and the Brewers to be worn out after the series with the Dodgers. The Brewers may come out flat and overconfident, which we expect. Let's pick up a big run-line game. |
|||||||
05-02-21 | Mets v. Phillies -1.5 | 8-7 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
5 Units: Take 914 PHILLIES -1.5, RL, +170 (7:08pm E, Sunday, May 2nd) New bad blood has been created between these two teams and the Phillies, Eflin, has gotten off to a good start, this year (almost a two run ERA difference, between he and Peterson. Look for a lot of a runs and don't be surprised if there's a bench clearing brawl, once or twice, in this one. This should be fun to watch. |

05-02-21 | North Dakota v. James Madison -2.5 | Top | 21-34 | Win | 100 | 52 h 25 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #308958 James Madison Dukes over North Dakota Fighting Hawks (6p.m., Sunday, May 2 ESPN2) Just feel the Hawks are getting to much publicity in this game due to the conference that they played in. North Dakota State destroyed them on March 20, and they have not been able to play many games since then. James Madison is not flashy at the quarterback position and they are rock solid on defense and I just do not see them losing this game at home. The Dukes were upset when they were given a No. 3 seed in the FCS Playoffs and expect them to march onto the final four with a victory on Sunday at home. We will lay the small points and expect close to a double-digit win. |

05-02-21 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks OVER 9 | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
6 Units: Take 909 COLORADO ROCKIES "OVER" 9 RUNS (4:10pm E, Sunday, May 2nd) We don't need to say much about this one. 90 degrees in AZ and the wind blowing out at 12mph. This Over should be 13, not 9 and even 13 isn't safe. It'll probably go Over, by the 5th inning. |
|||||||
05-02-21 | Angels -1.5 v. Mariners | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 40 m | Show | |
5 Units: Take 927 LA ANGELS - 1.5, RL, +105 Over Mariners (4:10pm E, Sunday, May 2nd) The Mariners have surprised a lot of people, this year, but the Angels, with a better pitching matchup and a good mix of hitters and sluggers, should take this one, easily. |
|||||||
05-02-21 | Cardinals v. Pirates +123 | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 36 m | Show | |
5 Units: Take 904 PIRATES +115 Over Cardinals (1:05pm E, Sunday, May 2nd) Pirates are MUCH better than anyone guessed, this year, and against Martinez, most would say Crowe is outmatched. Not too fast. Crowe has a better ERA, by almost one run and the Pirates will just flat outscore the Cards. Pirates, with no injuries, may win the division, to the surprise of most. |

05-01-21 | Flames v. Oilers -124 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. No.28. Take Edmonton over Calgary (Saturday at 10pm) As per your selection on Edmonton, we believe this is a good spot for them to bounce back and get a win vs Calgary after losing to them two nights ago 3-1. It was a classic letdown spot for the Oilers and with only one goal scored, we expect them to come out focused and hungry for a win tonight. The Oilers are still in a battle for the second spot in the North Division, so they know how much this game means to them. As for Calgary, yes they won the other night but they've been inconsistent all season long and after a win usually comes two losses for them so we don't see them getting another win here tonight. |

05-01-21 | Astros -1.5 v. Rays | 3-1 | Win | 150 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 973 HOUSTON ASTROS -1.5, RL,Over TAMPA BAY (4:10pm, E, Saturday, May 1st) Yesterday, Houston showed what they're capable of, on both offense and defense, winning 9-2 in Tampa. We think they'll ride that high and have another strong showing, today. Their offensive numbers are about as high as any team's, and one of their stars, Jose Altuve, hasn't started to hit, yet. Houston, after breaking a 3-game road losing streak, yesterday, should outslug the Rays, today. |
|||||||
05-01-21 | Cubs v. Reds OVER 9 | 3-2 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 55 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 953 CUBS/REDS OVER (4:10pm, E, Saturday, May 1st) We just can't take the over enough, at this ballpark. The wind is not blowing straight out, but it's straight down the 3rd base line, where a low fence allows line drives to get out. That kind of wind is good at this ballpark, as it won't affect hard-hit balls to right field and will really help balls to left field. Two good offensive teams should score in the double digits, today. |
|||||||
05-01-21 | Cubs +149 v. Reds | 3-2 | Win | 149 | 5 h 55 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 953 CHICAGO CUBS Over CINCINNATI (4:10pm E, Saturday, May 1st) The Reds have no business giving the Cubs this kind of number. They're better this year, but not that much. Both pitchers have high ERAs, so anything can happen, but when a game is this evenly matched, we'll take the underdog every time. |
|||||||
05-01-21 | Royals v. Twins -1.5 | 11-3 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 56 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 968 MINNESOTA TWINS -1,5, RL,Over KC ROYALS (2:10pm E, Saturday, May 1st) Royals are a good team and Duffy is a very good pitcher, but the Twins are the 3rd best slugging team in the American League and they've not lived up to their expectations, yet. We think today is another big slugging day, for them. At home, 80 degrees, and wind blowing out to left centerfield. The ball will carry and we're giving a big nod to the home team sluggers. |
|||||||
05-01-21 | Leeds United +0.5 v. Brighton & Hove Albion | 0-2 | Loss | -130 | 23 h 28 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Competition: EPL. Take Leeds United +0.5 (-130) over Brighton (Saturday at 10am) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Leeds must win or draw. As per your selection on Leeds to get at least a draw in this contest, we have been fading Brighton for a while now and we see no path to victory for them given how big of a slump they are currently in. Brighton has gone four straight without a win and has just 2 wins in their last 10 games. They are not scoring goals and can't keep the ball out of the back of their net either. Leeds, has been on a solid run of form of late, unbeaten in six games which includes a win vs Man City, and three draws vs Liverpool, Man United, and Chelsea. They have shown us at times this season that they can play some quality football and we believe their attacking prowess will be enough to get past Brighton and secure at least a point in this contest. |

04-30-21 | Rockies +110 v. Diamondbacks | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
4-UNITS: Take 911 ROCKIES Over DIAMONDBACKS (9:40pm E, Friday, April 30th) We'll bet you didn't see this one coming, but we REALLY like Sonny Gray and his 4.5 ERA against Bumgarner's 6.3 ERA. Rockies have shown life, lately and we expect them to ignite the hometown crowd. Don't expect much out of Colorado this season, but you can take them tonight and rub it in. This game practically defines the, "If it looks too good to be true, it usually is" quote. Your buddies will think you're crazy to take the Rockies - until the last pitch, that is. |
|||||||
04-30-21 | Spurs v. Celtics -4.5 | 140-143 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
The Celtics have had players in and out of the lineup all season, so it has been hard to get a read on this team. They should be pretty healthy tonight with the exception of Walker. We think this team is ready to make a move approaching the playoffs. We had this line at 6.5 with a lean to the Celtics at that number, and we think they are a bit undervalued tonight. We expect a comfortable 7+-point win. |
|||||||
04-30-21 | Cubs v. Reds OVER 9 | 6-8 | Win | 101 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
4-Units: Take 907 CUBS/REDS "OVER" (7:10pm E, Friday, April 30th) The wind is blowing out in Cincinnati and both the Cubs and Reds are hitting the ball well. This should go over early. Not much else to say, except it's the smallest ballpark in the Majors, too. Grab some snacks and a beer in the 7th, as this one will already be over. |
|||||||
04-30-21 | Astros v. Rays OVER 7.5 | 9-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 917 HOUSTON ASTROS/TB RAYS "OVER" (7:10pm E, Friday, April 30th) Over, the way these two teams are hitting the ball, seems almost like stealing. We don't see this taking long to get over a measly 7.5 runs. McCullers and Yarborough are basically unproven, this year, but the offenses aren't. Astros are stacked with sluggers - if you like offense, you'll like this one. |
|||||||
04-30-21 | Marlins -1.5 v. Nationals | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
4-Units: Take 905 MIAMI -1.5, RL Over WASHINGTON (7:05pm E, Friday, April 30th) Miami's offense has been great and Pablo Lopez, except for the game against the Braves has been really solid. Look for that tonight in Washington and watch the Marlins bats explode! |
|||||||
04-29-21 | Pelicans v. Thunder OVER 231 | 109-95 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
OKC’s offense has been playing pretty well. They put up 119 on offense in a win last time out over Boston, a solid defensive team. That was the second time in four games they put up 115+. We think they will be able to score against the Pels. New Orleans plays fast and with not much defense. They will get their points for sure against an OKC team that is playing out the string with not much D. We think OKC will be able to get enough points to make up the rest of this total. |
|||||||
04-29-21 | Mavs v. Pistons UNDER 214.5 | 115-105 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
Both teams are dealing with a bunch of injuries right now and both teams have been trending to the under. We think this game will be somewhat of a slog. Detroit has gone under three straight games. Their defense has played well, and their offense has struggled. They have scored 100 or fewer points in three of six games. Dallas has an excellent defense, and we just don’t see the Pistons doing anything special on offense tonight. |
|||||||
04-29-21 | Nets -8 v. Pacers | 130-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
The Nets have been a bad bet all season. But they seem to be coming together as we head towards the postseason. They have won and covered three straight. That includes wins over Boston and Phoenix, so they haven’t played creampuffs. The Pacers are banged up and they are coming off a home blowout to Portland. They face a big step up in competition here against one of the NBA title favorites. We think the Nets have a great chance for a double digit win. |
|||||||
04-29-21 | Islanders v. Rangers -123 | 4-0 | Loss | -123 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take New York Rangers over New York Islanders (Thursday at 7pm) As per your selection on the Rangers to get the job done tonight, we like how they come into this game playing some great hockey and winning three straight games. They are a major plus in goal differential on the season but are still fighting for their playoff lives. This game is a must-win for the Rangers if they want to have any hope of catching Boston or the Islanders for the fourth and final playoff spot. The Islanders come into this game in a bit of a funk having dropped three straight games to Washington, twice getting shut out. We expect the Rangers defense to continue the trend of slowing down the Isles attack and the Rangers offense should take care of business. Not to mention, the last time these two teams played the Islanders Won 6-1... revenge time for the Rangers. |
|||||||
04-29-21 | Phillies v. Cardinals +105 | 3-4 | Win | 105 | 2 h 40 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 952 STL CARDINALS Over PHILLIES (1:15pm E, Thursday, April 29th) The Cardinals have see the Phillies pitcher, Nola, for a long time. A long, long time. Kim, for the Cardinals, has made us a believer. Both teams have good offenses, but we see the Cardinals hitting Nola, better than the Phillies can hit Kim. And with Bryce Harper questionable, take the Cards and the whole pot - this is a winner. |
|||||||
04-29-21 | A's -1.5 v. Rays | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
5-Units: 961 OAKLAND -1.5, RL OVER TAMPA BAY (1:10pm E, Thursday, April 29th) Oakland felt embarrassed last night and the Rays rubbed it in a bit. The Sluggin' A's will get revenge today with Bassitt on the mound and we think will take Mcclanahan deep 5+ times. Oakland gets their revenge. This is not the same Oakland team we're used to - this is what they wanted the MoneyBall team to be. |
