05-06-22 | Heat v. 76ers UNDER 210.5 | 79-99 | Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
Miami at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Heat/76ers- UNDER- With or without Joel Embiid the Sixers know that in order to turn things around it starts on defense. Miami still one of the tougher defensive team and are 6-1 Under in their last seven games overall and Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Play UNDER! |

05-05-22 | Mets v. Phillies -145 | Top | 8-7 | Loss | -145 | 15 h 24 m | Show |
New York Mets at Philadelphia 6:45 ET Phillies over Mets- I tried this last Friday (betting Philly and Nola against the Mets) and Aaron Nola (1-3, 3.90 ERA) struck out nine but New York used five different pitchers and no-hit Philadelphia. The Mets are 3-3 since and will start Taijuan Walker (0-0.0.00) who has allow just two hits in seven inning work. I expect the Mets to control the East but this is a spot the Phillies look to atone for their hitless performance last Friday. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

05-04-22 | Mavs +6.5 v. Suns | Top | 109-129 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 31 m | Show |
Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Mavericks ()+) over Suns- Having used Phoenix as a Megabucks winner in Game 1 of this series I have no problem backing the Dallas here as I've been weary of them since they sent Porzingis packing. The Mavericks started the Utah series with Luca Doncic nursing an injury and have shown the defense travels well as they are ranked No. 2 allowing only 104.7. Without Porzingis whose heart was questioned their defense has risen to where they can win anytime with Luca carrying the offensive load. Although the Suns have dominated this series the Mavs are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 as road underdogs. Take DALLAS! |

05-04-22 | Mavs v. Suns UNDER 216.5 | 109-129 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 29 m | Show | |
Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Mavs/Suns -UNDER- I know, with starts like Doncic, Paul, Booker and Jalen Brunson it's easy to imagine this game going over the total. After all Phoenix does average 114.8 ranking 6th and they are the No. 1 FG shooting team at 48.5%. And although the Suns are an 'Over' team they are 6-2 Under in their last eight playoff games and Dallas is 44-21 UNDER after loss. Play UNDER! |

05-04-22 | 76ers v. Heat -8 | 103-119 | Win | 100 | 19 h 57 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (+) over 76ers- It really is a shame that Embiid is down because the battle between him and Jimmy Butler could have been classic. I just don't like this Philadelphia team without Joel and especially of we have to rely on James Harden who never played well in the playoffs where he was good and he hasn't been all that of late. I'm wondering if the 76ers are resigned going back to Philadelphia down 0-2 with Embiid coming out of the shadows. Remember the Bucks were down 0-2 in every series last year and won them all. The thing about the Heat is their coaching and consistency and the are not highly regarded by the media despite being a No. 1 seed. Take MIAMI! |

05-04-22 | Yankees -135 v. Blue Jays | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -135 | 18 h 41 m | Show |
New York Yankees at Toronto 7:05 ET Yankees over Blue Jays- One of the most profitable way of betting baseball is to play streaks both winning and losing on and against. Right now I don't think it matter who the Yankees are playing the believe that they will win and they have 11 straight times. I'm sure there will be plenty of Toronto action not believing the could be swept at home. New York will start Nestor Cortes (1-0, 1.31 ERA) who is the Bronx Bombers modern version of Whitey Ford as he has 28 K's and just three base-on-balls in 21 innings. Take NEW YORK YANKEES! |

05-03-22 | Giants +125 v. Dodgers | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
San Francisco at Los Angeles 10:10ET Giants over Dodgers- Do you remember that the Giants won 107 games last season and the Dodgers 106 and both team are actually better (on paper) this season and one of the bigger acquisitions was made by San Francisco. Coming over from the White Sox where he was 13-5 with a 2.37 ERA last season Carlos Rodon is 3-0 with a 1.17 ERA in four starts and has 38 K's in just 23 innings. Julio Urias, who will take the mound for the Dodgers allowed one run over six innings at Arizona on Wednesday. Urias (1-1, 2.50) has faced the Giants 20 times (14 starts) and is 2-3 with a 2.61 ERA. In what started as baseball's most intense rivalry in New York over 100 years ago still carries a fierce attitude when against each other. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

05-03-22 | Warriors v. Grizzlies +2 | 101-106 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
Golden State at Memphis 9:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- I must admit that there is some spectacular play going on with Embiid and Giannis but my favorites are going head-to-head in this Game 2 between Stephen Curry and everybody's newest favorite Ja Morant. Golden State was able to pull out the Game 1 victory with key player Draymond Green ejected before the half. Like I said about the opening game of this series it seems strange that the No. 2 seed Memphis is an underdog at home. Warriors are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 playoff games as road favorites and the Grizzlies are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as home underdogs. Take MEMPHIS! |

05-03-22 | Cardinals v. Royals +105 | 1-7 | Win | 105 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
St. Louis at Kansas City 8:10 ET Royals over Cardinals- Man are the Royals in a funk or what...or do they really stink. Think of this they have lost four in-a-row and lost 9-of-11 including three by shutout and have scored just six runs in their last four game and are dead last in MLB batting at .213 and runs scored with just 63. But, if there is one thing the can wake up their bats is being confronted with their 'Show Me' series rivals from St, Louis. It's not quite the same for the Cardinals as their sights have always been first and foremost on the Chicago Cubs. With tough luck brad Keller (0-2, 2.17 ERA) on the hill, thy have a shot. Take KANSAS CITY! |

05-03-22 | Yankees +124 v. Blue Jays | 9-1 | Win | 124 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
N.Y. Yankees at Toronto 7:05 ET Yankees over Blue Jays- Toronto was everybody's favorite to win the AL East and after a poor finish and some key personal changes the Yankees believe that they can take it all. I know they still have issues but they are playing better than expected right now and baseball is such a game of streaks in the longest of all seasons. Without having Sanchez to throw at the pitching staffs ERA is 2.25 runs per game better with a team ERA of 2.90. New York's weak spot Jameson Taillon (1-1, 3.07 ERA) has been excellent and he need be as the Blue Jays Alek Manoah (4-0, 1.44) will take the hill. TAKE NEW YORK YANKEES! |

05-03-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 86-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Boston 7:00 ET The Bucks played Game 1 in this series they way they closed out their Championship last year as they were just too physical for the Celtics. Even with Khris Middleton out the Milwaukees big bodies just were causing problems for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown who struggled for open looks. Giannis is unstoppable and Boston's Marcus Smart sustained an injury in Game 1 has his effectiveness should be questioned. The Celtics look like they don't have a chance so I have to have them. PLAY BOSTON! |

05-03-22 | Bucks v. Celtics UNDER 216 | 86-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Boston 7:00 ET Bucks/Celtics- UNDER- The high scoring Milwaukee Bucks ranked No. 3 averaging 115.5 PPG have gone UNDER the total in six straight games and the margins below the 'number' were incredible. Their last six games have gone 'under' the 'number' by 28.5, 9.5, 5, 30, 0.5 and 51. That's right 51-points under the total against the Bulls with the 'total' at 230 the Bucks won 93-86 in Game 2 non-cover victory. Boston is ranked No.1 on defense allowing only 104.5 PPG. Play the UNDER! |

Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Suns (-) over Mavericks- Both teams overcame the absence of their young superstars in tough first-round matchups. The Mavericks ousted the Utah Jazz, and the Suns survived the eighth-seeded New Orleans Pelicans, both winning in six games. But Dallas was without Luca Doncic and Phoenix was missing Devin Booker for three of the six contests. The Suns swept the season series 3-0 from the Mavericks, with two wins coming by eight points and the third by seven. Two of the games were in Phoenix, a November back-to-back that Doncic missed with a sprained left knee and ankle.The Suns are 21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings including 7-3 ATS as hosts. Take PHOENIX! |

05-02-22 | Braves +103 v. Mets | Top | 5-2 | Win | 103 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
Atlanta at New York Mets 7:10 ET Braves over Mets- There appears to be a 'new order' in the NL East as the Mets have taken the lead and look like the team to beat. The new-look Braves -- with Matt Olson manning first base instead of stalwart Freddie Freeman, who hit .293 with nine homers and 50 RBIs in 99 games at Citi Field -- will meet the Mets fresh off an opening month in which New York showed it is a much different team than a year ago.Left-hander Max Fried (2-2, 3.00 ERA) is scheduled to start for Atlanta against New York right-hander Chris Bassitt (3-1, 2.25 ERA). Both Fried and Bassitt earned the wins in their most recent starts on Tuesday, when Fried allowed one run over six innings as the Braves beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 and Bassitt tossed six scoreless innings in the Mets' 3-0 victory over the Cardinals. Fried is 4-3 with a 2.78 ERA in 16 career games (11 starts) against the Mets. Bassitt has never faced the Braves. Take ATLANTA! |

05-01-22 | Warriors v. Grizzlies +2.5 | Top | 117-116 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show |
Golden State at Memphis 3:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- Game One of this series already me scratching my head as to why the 2nd seed in the West is an underdog at home. Golden State the No. 3 seed took out Denver in five games and are at their strongest point physically with a healthy Draymond Green and Klay Thompson getting up to speed averaging 22.6 points in the playoffs. Meanwhile the Grizzlies are 8-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records and 5-1 as home underdogs and 4-1 against the Warriors in the last five meetings in Bluff City. Take MEMPHIS! |

L.A. Angels at Chicago White Sox 2:10 ET White Sox over Angels- Chicago who is the heavy favorite to win the AL Central posted a 4-0 win over the Angels yesterday and still have dropped 10 of their last 12 games. The White Sox will throw left-hander Dallas Keuchel (1-2, 9.00 ERA) against Angels right-hander Michael Lorenzen (2-1, 2.93) on Sunday. Keuchel's ERA has soared after surrendering 10 runs in one inning against Cleveland two starts ago but rebounded his next time out. Take the WHITE SOX! |

Atlanta at Texas 7:05 ET Rangers over Braves- Texas has lost four straight and it is all due to the lack of run production scoring just nine times in their last four games and their pitching hasn't been much help ranking No. 26 allowing 4.96 RPG. Atlanta will start Bryce Elder (1-2, 4.30 ERA) who has surrendered 11 walks in his last two starts and will be opposed by Dane Dunning (0-1, 4.91) who has 15 strikeouts in his last 10 innings of work. The Braves are 0-4 in the last four meetings in Texas and the Rangers are 5-1 in their last six games as home underdogs. Take TEXAS! |

Cleveland at Oakland 9:40 ET A's over Watch Dogs- Cleveland Aaron Civale (0-2, 9.58 ERA) has yet to have an outing where he allowed less runs than innings pitched and this will be his fourth start off the year. The A's Frankie Montas (2-2, 3.28) is making his fifth start of the season and is off his longest outing of the year of seven innings allowing just three hits and he has surrendered just five hits in his last 13.1 innings pitched. Oakland has dominated this series winning 16 of the last 21 meetings including 10-4 at home. Cleveland has lost seven straight and have scored just nine runs over that span. Take OAKLAND! |

Memphis at Minnesota 9:00 ET Timberwolves over Grizzlies- The oddsmaker is certainly giving Minnesota the seventh-seed plenty of respect as the No. 2 seed Memphis is barely favored in what could be a close out game for them. After blowing a 26-point lead in Game 3 the Timberwolves have rebounded with a pair of ATS wins eking out a 119-118 win at home and losing at the buzzer in Memphis 111-109. With the line where it is they are giving you a chance to just pick the winner...not so easy. The NBA's two top scoring teams go to a game 7. Take MINNESOTA |

Philadelphia at New York Mets 7:10 ET Phillies over Mets- It seems a bit strange to me that the New York Mets with the best record in baseball (14-6) with their best pitcher this season to date on the mound against a .500 team are a virtual pick-em at home. Tylor Megill (3-0, 2.35 ERA) has allowed just 13 hits in 16.1 innings while striking out 15 and walking only two. Philadelphia behind hot hitting Bryce Harper and has won their last four sweeping Colorado at home. The Phillies Aaron Nola (1-2, 3.74) is off his best outing of the season allowing just one hit in seven innings against the Brewers and has allowed only 14 hits in 22 innings this season. The Whiz-Kids are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings...take PHILADELPHIA! |

L.A.

But playing as a team where they are (home) the White Sox are 64-28 in their last 92 as favorites and 17-4 in their last 21 during Game 1 of a series while the Angles at 1-6 in the first game of their series.

Dallas at Utah 10:00 ET Jazz (+) over Mavericks- Mavericks star Luka Doncic has been dominant since returning from a calf injury that sidelined him for the first three games. The way Dallas has played for most of this series will require a very large bounce-back by Utah. Meanwhile, the Jazz have been about 'givin' up for dead' after the way Dallas has run through them in this series leading 3-1 and 4-0 ATS. Utah's most explosive scorer, Donovan Mitchell, declared himself ready to play Thursday night amid a leg injury. The Jazz are off the worst 3-point shooting game (3-30) in NBA Playoff history and they look to atone here. Take UTAH! |

Phoenix at New Orleans 7:30 ET Pelicans (-) over Suns- The Pelicans, who won elimination games against the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers in the play-in tournament, will try to force a Game 7 on Saturday night at Phoenix. The Suns moved to the brink of advancing with a 112-97 home victory in Game 5 on Thursday night. Mikal Bridges scored a career playoff-high 31 points, played 47 minutes and helped hold Pelicans leading scorer CJ McCollum to 7-of-22 shooting and their leading scorer Devin Booker has not played since coming away with a hamstring strain in the third quarter of Game 2 and they have lost twice in the series to the eighth-seeded New Orleans Pelicans. Suns are 1-5 after a straight up win and the Pels are 7-1 ATS after a SU loss. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Philadelphia at Toronto 7:00 ET 76ers (ML) over Raptors- No team in NBA history has ever won a playoff series after going down 0-3 but from what I hear with all the media crap is how Toronto is ready to perform the feat. The way I see it Joel Embiid was hurt and missed Game 4 and he returned injured and took a play-day off in Game 5 as the Raptors held a 56-36 advantage with points in the paint. This time around even James Harden gets the jobs done and the Sixers end this series here. Take PHILADELPHIA~ |

Chicago at Milwaukee 7:30 ET Bulls (+) over Bucks- The NBA Champion Milwaukee Bucks are not messing around like last year's playoffs when they fell behind 0-2 in their opening and second round series as they have pounded the Bulls in the last two games taking a 3-1 series lead. Undermanned Chicago will be without All-Star Zach LaVine who entered the NBA safety protocol on Tuesday and Alex Caruso is in the league's concussion protocol after getting whacked in the face on Saturday. Still, this is an elimination game and the Bulls will scratch and claw The Bulls are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games in Milwaukee. Take CHICAGO! |

New Orleans at Phoenix 10:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Suns- Phoenix is the No. 1 seed in the West and they are tied 2-2 with the upstart Pelicans who got to this point with a pair off play-in victories over the Spurs and Clippers. New Orleans held the Suns hobbling Chris Paul to four points on 2-for-8 shooting while out-rebounding the Suns for the fourth straight game. Although the Pelicans haven't had much success in Phoenix they are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 road games overall and the Suns are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games as favorites. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Houston at Texas 8:05 ET Rangers over Astros- Both of these Texas clubs have gone through some off-season changes as they made major player personnel moves revolving around their shortstops. The Rangers signed Corey Seager to play the keystone position in Arlington while Houston has suffered the unfortunate loss of Carlos Correa in Free Agency to Minnesota. The changes have hurt the Astros who are 7-8 while Texas hasn't been able to take advantage of their new infield combination (Semien) and are just 5-10 on the season. The Astros have dropped five of their last six and will start Jake Odorizzi (0-2, 9.00 ERA) who has more walks (seven) than strikeouts (five) and his mound opponent will be Taylor Hearn (0-1, 7.59) who is 2-0 with a 1.53 ERA in seven career appearances against Houston.

Minnesota at Memphis 7:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Grizzlies- Minnesota who blew a 26-point lead in Game 3 rebounded with a 119-118 win on Saturday to tie the series a 2-2. The NBA's Most Improved Player Ja Morant was frustrated in Game Four scoring just 11 points and is complaining about his failure to get to the free throw line and is feeling the affects of his knee injury which caused him to miss a stretch of 12 games at the end of the regular season.

Atlanta at Miami 7:00 ET Hawks (+) over Heat- To start with people are starting to realize just how good a coach Eric Spoelstra actually is as the Heat always seem to give you their best no matter who is healthy and what kind of line-up they have. But, of course the Key to the Heat's success now is Jimmy Butler who posted 36 points in Sunday's win while Atlanta top scorer Trae Young had just nine points after scoring just eight points in Game 1 of this series. The Hawks are 6-1 ATS following a SU loss and are desperate trailing 3-1 and facing elimination. Take ATLANTA! |

Utah at Dallas 9:30 ET Jazz (+) over Mavericks- An unusual twist has happened in this series as the impact of Dallas's Luka Doncic presence is huge. In all four previous games Utah has been the favorite including the first two in Dallas when Doncic was out. Upon his return in Game 4 at Utah the Mavs held a 4-point lead with 30 seconds remaining only to be bested by a lay-in at the buzzer. The 'price' seems short with Luca's return and maybe it's because Dallas is 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven playoff games. Take UTAH! |

Boston will start right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (1-0. 3.68 ERA) in the opener against right-hander Jose Berrios (1-0, 6.35). Eovaldi allowed one run in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday against Toronto and did not factor in the decision. He gave up seven hits and one walk while striking out six in the game won 2-1 by Boston. In 10 career games (nine starts), Eovaldi is 1-2 with a 4.33 ERA against Toronto. Eovaldi has not allowed more than two walks in 22 straight regular-season starts to match his career best. Berrios earned the win on Wednesday at Boston when he allowed one run, eight hits and one walk while striking out six in six innings. Toronto won 6-1. In eight career starts against Boston, he is 1-5 with a 4.05 ERA. Take BOSTON! |

But, the Pelicans have been 'game' playing tough since their horrid opening half of this series. The Suns are the number 1 seed and they were the best all season and they have had the better of it in the series but the Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in their last seven hames after a straight up loss and the Suns are 2-6 ATS as playoff favorites.

Garrett Richards will start for the Lone Star boys as the Rangers are looking toward a 'bullpen' game while the A's will start Cole Irvin (1-1, 4.32 ERA) who was 2-2 with a 4.03 ERA against Texas last season.

Chicago White Sox at Minnesota 2:10 ET White Sox over Twins- I don't usually look to end losing streaks but in this situation I believe that I have the better of it. Chicago after starting 6-2 hasn't won since a week ago Saturday will be starting Lucas Giolito (0-0, 0.00 ERA) who get his first start since being remover after four innings in his first start against Detroit when he allowed just one hit and had six strikeouts. One solid reason to take the Pale Hose is that 'washed-up' (I hope) Chris Archer take the hill for the Twins. Take the CHICAGO WHITE SOX! |

In Game 1 five different passes lead to the winning basket for the Celts while it seems only two get to handle the ball in a five-man game.

St. Louis at Cincinnati 4:10 ET Reds over Cardinals- Every year there is a team that just can't win and the public plays 'against' them all season and can show a tidy profit, but me, nah, that's too easy and usually you have to lay heavy wood. Cincinnati appears to be that team and sometimes not all that often they become a 'play' despite the past performances. The Reds have two wins in 13 games and one of those victories went to Tyler Mahle (1-1, 7.82 ERA)and he has had two straight poor outings and after going 13-6 with a 3.75 ERA in 2021 I expect a return to form.

Phoenix at New Orleans 9:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Suns- This New Orleans club for one reason or another has been a 'money maker' for 'us' and I see no reason to get off what has worked so well this season. They seemed to have picked up their step since CJ McCollum arrived and believe that they can compete with anybody in the league. The Suns are the best team in the NBA but have a history of falling short when more is expected from them and with Chris Paul around you well, are waiting for the shoe to drop. Phoenix is just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as favorites and 0-4 ATS as road favorites while the Pelicans are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 playoff games as underdogs. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Chicago White Sox at Minnesota 8:10 ET Twins over White Sox- Chicago is supposed walk over the AL Central this season but are in the middle of a 4-game losing streak while Minnesota who was a complete disaster last year just finished a seven game road trip and have a more positive attitude this season. The Twins will start Bailey Ober (1-1, 3.27 ERA) and he is off his first win of the year allowing just unearned two runs.

But the Nuggets are a playoff team that won 48 games and can play tough going 5-1 ATS in their last six as underdogs. Look for MVP Nikola Jokic to make his presence felt and for the Nuggets and the Warriors are 0-4-2 ATS in their last six playoff games as road favorites. Take DENVER! |

Dallas at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz (-) over Mavericks- I would have to think that there would be a world of difference if Luca Doncic isn't able to suit up for the Mavericks although they have shown that they can win without him. In that victory Jalen Brunson went off for a career-best 41 points, the Mavericks set a franchise playoff record with 22 3-pointers (compared to just 11 triples for the Jazz), and Dallas only turned the ball over three times as Utah's perimeter defense struggled to contain drivers and failed to close out on outside shooters. But Dallas is 2-5 ATS as playoff underdogs and the Jazz are 7-3 ATS as home playoff favorites.This time it will be different.Take UTAH! |

Memphis at Minnesota 7:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Grizzlies- The NBA's two top scoring teams have not disappointed anyone with the pair of blowout wins my each side. But, what we saw out of the Timberwolves Anthony Edwards and the Grizzlies Ja Morant along with their more than capable supporting cast should make for a great series the rest of the way. The thing I like about this Minnesota team is they don't back down from anybody as they have shown their grit by going 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 following a straight-up loss. Take MINNESOTA! |

St. Louis at Miami 6:40 ET Marlins over Cardinals- Here I go again trying to beat the Cardinals and it's something I struggle with because over the year they have been one of the most consistent solid teams fundamentally as they are 25-8 in their last 33 road games. Miami will be sending their ace Pablo Lopez (1-0, 0.87 ERA) who in two starts has allowed just seven hits and one run and they are 5-2 in their last seven home games. Take MIAMI. |

Minnesota at Kansas City 2:10 ET Twins over Royals- It seems a bit weird to me that the former Cy Young and World Series winner who has 219 career wins over 16 years is an underdog at home. Kansas City's Zack Greinke (0-0, 2.45 ERA) has been more than serviceable going 11 innings in two starts while allowing just three runs and a pair of walks. Twins starter Joe Ryan (1-1, 2.70) who has surrendered just seven hits in 10 innings and just three runs with 11 strikeouts.

Carlos Carrasco (0-0, 0.84 ERA) who was 1-5 last season has put that behind him and has two outstanding outings amounting to 10 2/3 innings, one run, five hits and 11 K's with two walks. He's ready to be a part fo the fun as it has been four years since he had a winning season. Take NEW YORK M-E-T-S! |

Brooklyn hung tough and made a solid run and actually took the lead late behind a fabulous fourth quarter by Kyrie Irving who scored 18 points in the final period. Only to have Kevin Durant miss what would have been the game clinching shot just moments before the Celtics score. They do it again taking a 2-0 with a win and cover. Take BOSTON! |

After a series of dreadful performance the Celtics called for a players only team meeting and they rolled up some impressive wins since. The Nets have put things together at the right time and are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 road games and they know how to handle Boston going 13-6 ATS in the last 19 meetings.

Philadelphia has one of the most impressive players in the NBA with Joel Embiid who along with James Harden make them formidable. James Harden says that he feels no pressure after all his playoff failure so I expect more of the same out of him.

San Diego at San Francisco 9:45 ET Padres over Giants- Did you see Yu Darvish in the opener? Well, he should be well rested having being lifted after six no-hit innings with a 4-0 lead...they lost 5-4. This time his teammates will see to it that he get the win, he just has to keep it close. The Giants will start Alex Cobb who was 7-22 the three seasons before last when he was 8-3 with his first winning year since 2017.

Toronto at New York Yankees 7:05 ET Yankees over Blue Jays- Toronto is considered the favorite by many to win the AL East and believe that they have shored up their weakest liner and that is their starting pitching. The Blue Jays will start 31-yer old and three year veteran Japanese born Yusel Kikuchi who was 15-24 with Seattle.

Boston at Detroit 5:10 ET Tigers over Red Sox- Watching the Sawx and Yanks this weekend I could help but remember how Boston closed last season after a great first half when it looked like they would run away with the AL East. The Red Sox issue is with pitching and they expect to resolve this problem with Michael Wacha who has won just four games the past two years with 30 starts and has had ERA's of 6.62 and 5.05 while surrendering 180 hits in 168 innings. Take DETROIT! |

New Orleans at Memphis 6:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Grizzlies- When I first saw this matchup I thought that I would be all over the Grizzlies as I had used with the Pelicans as a Megabucks winner and against Memphis with great success of late and felt the 'natural' vibe was to take the Grizzles. But, the first line I saw was transposed and had New Orleans the favorite (-5) and at the No. 2 seed in the West. I figured that Memphis would be playing no one. Then, I saw that they were actually 5-point dogs, I felt that the points were where they should be. Memphis is locked into their spot and should have little motivation while the Pelicans are hot and are playing for an improved play-in spot. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

But, Kansas City has come up the favorite and that was a small surprise and it indicates to me that the Royals are in position to win. Giving stats this early in the season doesn't pass any sample size. Take KANSAS CITY! |

Indiana has lost eight in-a-row straight-up while the Sixers are off a late loss at Toronto. But these two met on Tuesday a 131-122 Brotherly Love win. I expect to win this one going away...take PHILADELPHIA! |
