05-19-19 | Blues v. Sharks -128 | 5-0 | Loss | -128 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. #021. Take St. Louis over San Jose (Sunday, May 19 at 3:08 p.m.). As per your selection on St. Louis, the Blues bounced back in a big way in Game 4 to even the series. What we like about that win is that they came out from the start of the first period and decided to dominate the game. They didn't let the blown call in Game 3 affect their mentality and we've seen that they can in fact compete and win games in this series. Now they go back to SJ a place I've been impressed with how the Sharks play at home, but we believe St. Louis has the momentum on their side along with a healthy roster. Much can be said about how good Erik Karlsson is, but he's been labouring and his ice time is decreasing on a per period basis it seems. We believe the Blues can find a way to expose that matchup and take advantage of it. We also still believe the Blues have the better goaltending, and as they've shown all playoffs, the Blues are a great road team who can get the job done in high-pressure situations. Take the Blues at this juicy price. | |||||||
05-18-19 | Warriors v. Blazers -2 | Top | 110-99 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
Game 3 is the most pivotal in a seven-game series. That is especially the case for the Blazers here as they are down 2-0. A loss here would be devastating to their chances in this series. We don’t think they have much of a chance to win this series, but the Warriors are without Durant and they are not as strong as they have been in past years. They have lost the competitive fire a little bit also, which is natural. Portland played well enough to win in Game 2, but the Warriors staged an epic comeback. But the home court will be kinder to the Blazers, and we expect them to win here tonight. These conference finals have been without much drama so far and we expect the refs to give the home team the close calls tonight. Sweeps in both series would be horrible for the bottom line. | |||||||
05-18-19 | A's v. Tigers UNDER 9.5 | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. Take Under Oakland at Detroit (4:10 p.m. Saturday, May 18) The Tigers have had their struggles to score runs all season but they are in the midst of their worst stretch right now. They have lost their last 5 games all of which have been in Detroit, but they have some hope as their best pitcher will be on the mound today. Matthew Boyd has been one of the few bright spots for the Tigers this season consistently giving Detroit a chance to win games. Boyd hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any start this year and I think he will be able to limit the A's today. Daniel Mengden will be making his second start of the season after allowing 4 earned runs over 5 1/3 innings in a 5-3 loss to Cleveland. I think he will be able to take advantage of a Tigers offense that has scored the second fewest runs in all of baseball. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-17-19 | Giants v. Diamondbacks -142 | Top | 0-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take #912 Arizona over San Francisco (9:40 p.m. Friday, May 17) This is the first time these two National League West Rivals will be meeting each other this season with Arizona 5 games up on San Francisco in the standings. The Giants will get their first look at rookie right hander Merrill Kelly which I think is an advantage for Kelly. Kelly has been up and down in his first season with the D'backs but he has been better when pitching at home where his ERA is 3 runs lower than it is on the road. Jeff Samardzija has faced the Diamondbacks plenty of times in his career and has an ERA over 4 in those matchups. He has been prone to giving up home runs on the road this season allowing 6 in 20.1 innings pitched with an ERA of 4.43 and with the way Arizona has been swinging the bats I think some balls could leave the ballpark in this one. I like the D'backs to take the first game of the season between these two. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-17-19 | Raptors v. Bucks OVER 216.5 | 103-125 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
The Bucks were obviously rusty at the start of Game 1 and they went down big to the Raptors early before getting it all together and rallying for the cover. Toronto had come in in better playing form having finished their last series in seven games, but now the Bucks have shaken off the rust and we expect a more complete game from them. We expect the Bucks to have a lot better offensive night, and the total has been adjusted down from Game 1. We think there is value on the over, and we think there’s a great chance that the Bucks could win this one by 10+ if they play as well as they did in the second half in Game 1 all the way through here in Game 2. | |||||||

7-Unit Play. #018. Take St. Louis over San Jose (Friday, May 17 at 8:08 p.m.). As per your selection on St. Louis, it's a bounce-back night for the Blues after getting robbed of Game 3 in what was a blatant hand pass by the Sharks players on the final goal. This Blues team is a team with veteran presence and we believe they will know how to right the ship tonight and get a much-needed win. Look, the Blues know they can't afford to go down 3-1 and go back to SJ with their season on the line. This is their due or die game and we've seen with this team throughout the postseason, that when the season hangs in the balance, they find a way to pull through. We believe SJ is playing with house money right now and a split in St. Louis wouldn't be the end of the world for them. They already won Game 3, so we aren't saying they come out looking like they don't care, but the urgency level will be tilted in favor of the Blues. It's time for the big guns of St. Louis to step up and for the goaltending to get back to the way it was coming into this series. Look for the Blues to even up the series here. | |||||||
05-16-19 | Blazers v. Warriors OVER 218.5 | 111-114 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
We expect a lot better effort here in Game 2 from the road team. They didn’t play well at all in Game 1, and this team doesn’t normally have two bad games in a row. We expect their shooting to be better and we think both teams will get their points. Both clubs got off to a slow start in Game 1, but the scoring here on Thursday should be a lot more fluid and we expect a close game and it would not surprise us if the Blazers challenged for the win as this is just not the same Golden State team we are used to. | |||||||
05-16-19 | Bruins -107 v. Hurricanes | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #015. Take Boston over Carolina (Thursday, May 16 at 8:08 p.m.) As per your selection on Boston, we gave Carolina their chance in Game 3 to get back in the series, but this one is all but wrapped up. The Canes look defeated, they can't decide on a goalie and their offense has gone missing. Boston is rolling on all cylinders right now and they are getting scoring from up and down the lineup and most importantly Tuukka Rask is playing outstanding hockey. It pains me to say this but they Boston Bruins are going to win the Stanley Cup. We know all about how hard it is to win that deciding series clinching game, but this Boston team has been their and done that before. They are a veteran team who will know what buttons to push and they will close out this series tonight. It's going to be along wait for the Cup Finals to start, but that rest will do the Bruins some good. Take Boston tonight. | |||||||
05-16-19 | Rangers v. Royals -101 | 16-1 | Loss | -101 | 2 h 52 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take 964 Kansas City over Texas (1:15 p.m. Thursday, May 16) The Royals have not won the rubber match of any of the three games series they have played so far this season but I think they will get it done in this one. Homer Bailey has been sharp winning his last two starts allowing three earned runs over 11 innings and I think he can continue that success today. Lance Lynn will take the mound for the Rangers and he is 1-1 in his last two starts but he has allowed 8 earned runs over those 13 innings. The Royals failed to come through with the clutch hits last night with runners in scoring position but I think they will today. Kansas City has had more success at home this season and I think they will add to that tonight. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-15-19 | Raptors v. Bucks -6 | Top | 100-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
We couldn’t be happier with this line. The number we had in our mind was around 9, but we knew the bookies would not open with that big of a number. We think the Raptors are getting a little extra shading with the line here because everyone and their mother saw Leonard’s amazing buzzer-beater on SportsCenter. But we think this Game 1 will be pretty one-sided. The Bucks have looked much more impressive than the Raptors in this postseason. They have been chilling for awhile while the Raps finished a grueling seven-game series on Sunday. The Bucks seem incredibly focused in this postseason so we don’t see them being rusty with the time off. But Toronto could sure use some more rest coming into this one. The Bucks won and covered in three of four meetings this season, and two of those games were blowouts. We think they have a very good chance to win this by double-digits. The Bucks were one of the best ATS teams in the NBA at home this season, and we think they are underrated once again tonight. We expect them to take a statement here tonight with a tour de force in Game 1. We also think this total is too high and we think this will be a low-scoring game like Games 1 were for these teams in the last round. | |||||||

05-15-19 | Rockies v. Red Sox OVER 9 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 101 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take Over in Colorado at Boston (7:10 p.m. Wednesday, May 15) The Rockies and Red Sox needed extra innings to decide last night's contest with Colorado coming through in the 11th inning to get the win. Eduardo Rodriguez comes into tonight's matchup pitching well as of late but the Rockies have been tearing the cover off the ball this month having scored 87 runs and I think they will be able to put some runs on the board. German Marquez has been solid for most of the season for Colorado but he will be facing a Red Sox lineup that has come alive as of late and I don't think he will be able to shut them down. I like this game to go over 8.5. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-14-19 | Blazers v. Warriors OVER 220.5 | Top | 94-116 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 60 m | Show |
Golden State seems to have found their scoring touch again and Stephen Curry broke out of his shooting slump in a big way against the Rockets in Game 6, having a big second half. With Durant out for this game, the Warriors go small ball and this is mostly the lineup that began the dynasty in the Bay Area. We just don’t see the Blazers slowing this team down tonight. Portland has a very strong offense and we don’t think they will have trouble putting the ball in the basket tonight. We feel like they are playing with house money in this series and the game should be free flowing and we don’t see a defensive matchup here. We may see more defensive games later in the series, especially if Portland manages to win a game or two and make this a series. But for tonight we expect a fast pace and some easy baskets for both teams. | |||||||
05-14-19 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -112 | 2-1 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #012. Take Carolina over Boston (Tuesday, May 14 at 8:08 p.m.). As per your selection on Carolina, if there was a game in this series that Carolina needed to win (aside from an elimination game) this is the game. They got their lunch money stolen in both Games 1 and 2 and now it's time for this team, who has exceeded all expectations to date, to buckle down and play the kind of hockey they know they can play. They are essentially looking at their season hanging in the balance tonight if they don't win to make the series 2-1. They are likely going with a goalie change in net and we believe that move will help in a positive way. The captain has come out and called them out publicly and normally that's not a good move, but Justin Williams has been around the league long enough to know when it's warranted. The Hurricanes were in this same situation in Round 1 after losing the opening two games to Washington. They responded well at home in Game 3 and turned that series on it's head. We expect history to repeat itself tonight. Take Carolina. | |||||||
05-14-19 | Astros -1.5 v. Tigers | 11-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #967 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Detroit (7:10 p.m. Tuesday, May 14) Houston is tearing the cover off the ball right now and that is not good news for the Tigers. The Astros have won their last 6 games scoring 50 runs over that span including an 8-1 drubbing of the Tigers last night where they hit four home runs. Wade Miley will be pitching for Houston tonight and he has been solid in his first season with the Astros not allowing more than three earned runs in any of his eight starts. I think Wiley will be able to continue that streak against a Detroit team that has had problems scoring runs all season. Ryan Carpenter will be taking the ball for the Tigers but he has been roughed up in his time in the majors with an ERA over 8 in his seven appearances (6 starts) between this year and last. I like the Astros in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-13-19 | Blues v. Sharks -130 | 4-2 | Loss | -130 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #008. Take San Jose over St. Louis (Monday, May 13 at 9:08 p.m.). As per your selection on San Jose, we've reached the point in the post season where the cream rises to the top and while St. Louis has been a great story this year, the Sharks are simply the better and more experienced team. The Sharks on home ice are as great a bet as any and we believe they can use the momentum from Game 1 to jump on the Blues early and often in this one and take a 2-0 lead in the series. The Blues looked slow and sloppy in Game 1 while the Sharks just got stronger as the game went along. We like them to take advantage of their home ice one more time tonight and head to St. Louis up 2-0 in the series. The Sharks weren't the greatest road team this season, so making their home games count is the recipe for success for this team. | |||||||
05-13-19 | Angels v. Twins -128 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -128 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take #910 Minnesota over LA Angels (7:40 p.m. Monday, May 12) The Twins have been getting some great efforts by their starting pitchers recently and I expect Jose Berrios to deliver another solid performance in tonight's matchup. Berrios has won his last five starts going at least 6 innings in each of those and he has been filthy at home this season winning all four starts behind a 1.98 ERA. Nelson Cruz probably won't be in the lineup tonight for the Twins as he left last night's contest with a wrist injury, but Minnesota has been getting contributions all throughout their lineup this season and I think they can have success against Los Angeles starter Tyler Skaggs. Skaggs hasn't been very effective on the road this season as he is 1-3 with a 6.38 ERA across four starts and Minnesota is 6 games over .500 at home on the season. The Twins are 7-1 in the games Berrios has started this year and I think they will find a way to get it done in this matchup as well. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-12-19 | 76ers v. Raptors UNDER 210.5 | Top | 90-92 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
Even though four of the six games in this series have gone under, the last two have gone over. But we think there is a great chance this will be one of the most low-scoring games of the series. Both of these teams have massive expectations. Whichever team loses this game will have had a disappointing season. We just don’t see this as a free-flowing offensive game and we think both teams are really going to buckle down on the defensive end. We really think we could see a game like Game 2 where both teams finish well under 100. These teams don’t have a lot of experience in this situation and there will probably be some jitters that could affect early offense. And by the fourth quarter both teams will be fighting for their postseason life and we should see some great D. | |||||||
05-12-19 | Blazers +5.5 v. Nuggets | 100-96 | Win | 100 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
We have always liked the Blazers to advance in this series and we think the line has value here for Game 7 in what we expect to be a close game. Despite the results of this series, the Blazers are the more experienced team, and that will count a lot in a Game 7. We had this line handicapped at 3.5 and we think the Blazers could do even better than that and win this one outright. | |||||||
05-12-19 | Hurricanes v. Bruins -147 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #006. Take Boston over Carolina (Sunday, May 12 at 3:08 p.m.). We are traveling today so no time for a lengthy write-up. As per your selection on Boston, we've reached the point in the postseason where the cream rises to the top and while Carolina has been a great story this year, the Bruins are simply the better and more experienced team. The Bruins on home ice are as great a bet as any and we believe they jump on the Canes early and often in this one and take a 2-0 lead in the series. The Hurricanes looked depleted in Game 1 while the Bruins just got stronger as the game went along. We love the goaltending edge the Bruins have with Tuukka Rask, and we just believe they have to much experience and depth down the roster for the Canes to overcome. Take Boston tonight. | |||||||
05-11-19 | Blues v. Sharks -123 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #004. Take San Jose over St. Louis (Saturday, May 11 at 8:08 p.m.). We are traveling today so no time for a lengthy write-up. As per your selection on San Jose, we are going to continue to ride their home ice advantage until its not an advantage no more. They have one of the toughest places to play in the league and they have a great team that is ready to step up to the challenge of getting back to the Cup Finals. St. Louis has been road warriors all playoffs long, but they haven't played in a barn as noisy as the Shark Tank and it's going to show tonight. The Sharks have more firepower and we believe they use the momentum of a Game 7 win to propel themselves into a 1-0 series lead. Take SJ. | |||||||
05-11-19 | Mariners v. Red Sox -1.5 | Top | 5-9 | Win | 100 | 2 h 52 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take #916 Boston (-1.5 RL) over Seattle (1:05 p.m. Saturday, May 11) Boston is over .500 for the first time this season and that is where I think they will spend the rest of their season. The Red Sox have won the last 4 times Rick Porcello has taken the mound and I think he will lead them to a victory in today's early start time. Porcello has been much better when pitching at home this season going 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA over three starts as compared to being 0-2 with a 7.11 ERA on the road. Boston hit three home runs last night and with the way Felix Hernandez has been pitching recently I think they will hit some today. Hernandez has allowed 4 runs or more in three of his last four starts allowing 6 home runs over that span and he is 0-2 with a 6.16 ERA on the road this season. Boston is 8-2 in their last 10 games and I think they will keep it rolling today. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||

Kevin Durant has been playing out of his mind in the postseason and the rest of the Warriors supporting cast has been a disappointment most of the time. But this is the defending NBA champ and the current NBA dynasty, and they still have Curry, Thompson and Green, and a solid team all around. They also have a great coach. We think they will do what they can to make this a competitive game. Curry isn’t going to stay cold forever, and with more responsibility tonight we think he has a great game and takes control. We expect a close game here tonight. | |||||||

7-Unit Play. Take #969 Minnesota (-1.5, -105) over Detroit (8:10 p.m. Thursday, May 10) The Twins return home for a 7 game home stand feeling good about themselves after dominating the Blue Jays over a three game sweep. The Twins have to really like their chances of getting a win tonight with the way Jake Odorizzi has been pitching lately. Odorizzi has won his last four starts and has allowed just 3 earned runs over those 24.1 innings. He has been dominant in his three starts at Target Field this season going 2-0 with a 0.96 ERA and I think he can shut down a Tigers offense that has been trying to find their way all season long. Tyson Ross will be on the mound for Detroit and he has had a rough go so far this season. Ross is 0-3 with a 5.63 ERA across three starts on the road this year and will have to deal with Jorge Polanco who leads the American League in average (.344) and Eddie Rosario who leads the AL in home runs (13) among others. I think the Twins keep it rolling in this one and pick up the win. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-09-19 | Nuggets v. Blazers -3.5 | 108-119 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
A team is normally never as bad or good as their last game, and we are willing to give the Blazers a mulligan for that one as the game just got out of control and they could never recover. But otherwise this has been a competitive series and we don’t see the Blazers going away that easy. This team has a lot of determination and grit, and they have a great home crowd behind them tonight against a Denver team that is a nice squad for sure but they aren’t a championship-caliber team at this point. We think there’s a great chance for a comfortable win for the home team here. | |||||||
05-09-19 | Raptors -2 v. 76ers | 101-112 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
Toronto has taken back control of this series by winning the last two games and putting the Sixers on the verge of elimination. Now they should have a sense of urgency cine the Bucks closed out the Celtics in the East. They don’t want this series to go to seven games. The Sixers lack of depth is starting to glaringly show as the starters are becoming less effective as the series wears on and Embiid has been a dud all series long. We think Toronto closes this one out tonight. | |||||||
05-08-19 | Rockets +6.5 v. Warriors | 99-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
We think there is a very good chance that Golden State loses this series and that their reign is coming to an end. They face a ton of questions in the offseason and this squad just doesn’t seem to have the same fire that they have had in past seasons. They also don’t look as confident. All the pressure seems to be on Golden State as the Rockets are expected to lose and they can play more free and just play their game. They have taken momentum in this series and we think they will compete hard here with a chance for the outright win. | |||||||

4-Unit Play. #027. Take Colorado over San Jose (Wednesday, May 8 at 9:00 p.m.). As per your selection on Colorado, we are essentially flipping sides after we stated San Jose is the team you want to win you a home game with the pressure on the line. After watching Game 6 and seeing how dominant Colorado can be at times when they play their brand of hockey, we believe that in a winner take all showdown, the cream will rise to the top and that will be Colorado. They have the better all-around team we believe and that will come to the forefront tonight as they get a huge, potentially franchise-changing win. Look, the Sharks may be the more experienced of the two teams, but they've been known to choke and let their fans down on a number of occasions. While many are still calling them the ?best team left in the playoffs?, we are going to go opposite from the public and side with the road team, who on their day can light the lamp with the best of them. Let's take a shot at plus money with the Avs tonight. | |||||||
05-08-19 | Celtics +9 v. Bucks | Top | 91-116 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 14 m | Show |
Boston hasn’t played well in this series and this season has been a disappointment and there will probably be a shakeup once this team gets bounced in this series. But this team does have heart, and we don’t think they will roll over like some other teams would facing insurmountable odds. We can see the Celtics leaving it all on the court tonight in this elimination game. We have to think Coach Brad Stevens will have his team compete for four quarters and we just think this is too many points as this is the biggest value for Boston during this entire series. | |||||||
05-08-19 | Twins -105 v. Blue Jays | 9-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #969 Minnesota over Toronto (7:10 p.m. Wednesday, May 8) The Twins are off to a great start to their season and they are sitting atop the American League Central looking to finish off a sweep of the Blue Jays. Their offense has been good but their pitching has been awesome, especially the past two games where they have not allowed a run against Toronto. The Blue Jays offense has been struggling mightily recently scoring just 16 runs over their last 8 contests and this bodes well for Kyle Gibson who hasn't been so sharp this season. Gibson has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in his last three starts and I think he can take advantage of how bad the Jays have been at the plate. Trent Thornton is still looking for his first win on the season and I don't think he will get it tonight as he is 0-2 with a 5.00 ERA in four starts at home. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||

5-Unit Play. #024. Take St. Louis over Dallas (Tuesday, May 7 at 8:08 p.m.). As per your selection on St. Louis, we are simply going to roll with the team that is playing well and playing distraction free. Look, I'm not going to sit here and say Dallas is the only team that cries about everything to the refs but at some point its time to shut up and play the game. Ben Bishop stopped a puck with his shoulder - a part of his body that is padded - and wanted the refs to stop play. That's ridiculous. From what I've seen over the years when a goalie gets rattled, it's a hard task for them to get back on track in 24 hours and we don't believe it's going to happen tonight. The Blues are seemingly pushing all the right buttons and in front of their home crowd, we expect them to be able to dominate the play and take the game to the Stars. The Blues are a great story this season and making it to the WCF would be a fitting chapter for this team. We believe the Blues have more fire power and are the better all around team. Let's roll with the home side. | |||||||
05-07-19 | 76ers v. Raptors -6 | Top | 89-125 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
The Sixers have been very competitive in this series but Toronto gutted out a Game 4 win in Philly and now the series has turned into a best-of-3, with Toronto having two games at home. They were always our pick to win this series and they just have a deeper team and more experience in the postseason. The Sixers have not played well here in Toronto has they are 1-5 ATS in their last six visits, and we have a feeling the Raps will break this series open tonight with a comfortable win and put the Sixers on the brink of elimination. | |||||||
05-07-19 | Angels -138 v. Tigers | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #921 LA Angels over Detroit (7:10 p.m. Tuesday, May 7) The Angels and Tigers both come into tonight's matchup just under .500 on the season as they are trying to string some wins together. Albert Pujols could enter the record books tonight with an RBI becoming just the 5th player in major league history to record 2,000 RBI. Detroit has lost the last two times Daniel Norris has started for them and he will have to be careful when facing Pujols and Mike Trout. There isn't much film on Griffin Canning as he will be making just his second career start and it should help that it is against the light hitting Tigers. I like the Angels to take game 1 of this series. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-06-19 | Sharks +113 v. Avalanche | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #015. Take San Jose over Colorado (Monday, May 6 at 10:08 p.m.). As per your selection on San Jose, we are going to roll with the team who has momentum in this spot. We believe after San Jose's Game 5 win, where they held the Avalanche to just 1 goal on 22 shots, that the Sharks have figured out a way to slow down the Avs' top line and because of that will find a way to be successful once again. Look, much was made of the goaltending problems in SJ, but Martin Jones has played some great hockey here over the last week and a bit and we trust him more than we do Philipp Grubauer. If any team knows first hand that anything can happen in a Game 7 situation, it's the Sharks, which is why we believe they come to play tonight and end the series. The Sharks may get a boost by having captain Joe Pavelski in the lineup for the first time tonight and his presence will only impact the team in a positive way. Lets roll with the Sharks as they end the series and move on to the WCF. | |||||||
05-06-19 | Bucks v. Celtics -1.5 | Top | 113-101 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 4 m | Show |
This is really crunch time for the Celtics and they need a win here or there is a good chance this series will slip away. Boston is one of the better defensive teams in the league but they didn’t play well in that regard in the last two games. But they are much better than they have showed, and we expect them to batten down the hatches tonight and play a great defensive game. In Game 1 they held the Bucks to 90 points, and although they may not hold them to that low of a score we think they will make adjustments here as they have one of the best coaches in the league. We expect a very strong showing from the home team tonight. | |||||||
05-06-19 | Giants v. Reds -143 | 4-12 | Win | 100 | 2 h 43 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #952 Cincinnati over San Francisco (12:35 p.m. Monday, May 6) There have been plenty of runs and fireworks so far in this series between the Giants and Reds, but I think today's contest won't be as dramatic. Anthony DeSclafini will be pitching for Cincinnati and he has been electric over his last three starts allowing just one run on 9 hits over 17.2 innings with the Reds winning all three of those contests. Drew Pomeranz will be pitching for San Francisco and he has been alright in his first season for his new club, but he has allowed at least 3 runs in two of his last three starts. The Reds have let two of the three games in this series slip through their fingers, but I don't think they let that happen in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-05-19 | Nuggets v. Blazers UNDER 210.5 | Top | 116-112 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 47 m | Show |
Wow that was an amazing game in Game 3 even though we came up a bucket short on our pick. But after 4 overtimes and these teams giving everything they had, we think this game will be a grind, and we think the pace will be slowed down here. These players played their hearts out and played so many minutes and ran so far. There just isn’t going to be a lot left in the tank. And we think that will contribute to a low-scoring game. And we think this rare situation plays to the home team as they will be more comfortable at home and they can feed extra energy off the home fans. | |||||||

05-05-19 | Raptors +2 v. 76ers | 101-96 | Win | 100 | 25 h 19 m | Show | |
A lot is on the line for the Raptors in this game. They bombed out of the playoffs last season in getting swept by Cleveland, and that was supposed to be their best team ever. Now this season they are supposed to have an even better team, and they need to even this series up badly and make it a three-game series. Kawhi Leonard is probably 50/50 to come back next season, but an early playoff exit here probably for sure sends him out the door. We think the Raps will give 100% after a lackluster performance in Game 3. | |||||||
05-05-19 | A's v. Pirates UNDER 8 | 3-5 | Push | 0 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play. Take Under 8 Oakland at Pittsburgh (1:35 p.m. Sunday, May 5) Oakland and Pittsburgh have split the first two games of this series with both putting up a good amount of run in their wins but I think this game is going to be a low scoring affair. Jordan Lyles is 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA in three starts he has made at home this season and I think he will bounce back from a couple of lackluster outings he has had. Frankie Montas had an ERA under 3 for Oakland on the season and I think he can keep the Pirates lineup off balance and limit them. A couple of regulars could have the day off and I think this game stays under. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-04-19 | Avalanche v. Sharks -120 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #004. Take San Jose (-130) over Colorado (Friday, May 4 at 10:08 p.m.). As per your selection on San Jose, if there is one team in the league that you want to back to win a crucial home game it's the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks have a phenomenal record at the Shark tank, and in this critical Game 5, we just don't see them losing at home. The Sharks have been the better team in the series for most of the 4 games so far and we like the fact that the Sharks respond well when their opponent allows 2 or fewer goals in their previous game, going 4-0. The Sharks are also 6-2 in their last 8 as a home favorite and the home team has won 37 of the last 53 meetings. The Avalanche on the other hand are just 3-11 in their last 14 games as a road underdog. We like the experience of the Sharks and the advantage of home ice to give the Sharks the extra edge they need to pull off the win tonight. | |||||||
05-04-19 | Warriors v. Rockets -3 | Top | 121-126 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
Both of the first two games in the Bay Area were close, but we just don’t see the Warriors cruising through this series without facing a little adversity and this is a must win for the Rockets tonight. We think that they will get the job done here. Houston has always gave the Warriors a challenge and this Warriors team just doesn’t seem to have the same fire that we have seen in past seasons. | |||||||
05-03-19 | Nuggets v. Blazers -4 | 137-140 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
As we have stated before, Game 3 is a crucial one in a 7-game series, and we see the Blazers as the clear favorite to win this series. They really flexed their muscle in that Game 2 win, and Denver’s postseason inexperience shined through. Both of these teams are much different at home than on the road, and the fact that Portland had such a dominating performance in Game 2 makes us think the momentum has swung their direction in a big way. | |||||||
05-03-19 | Bucks v. Celtics UNDER 219.5 | 123-116 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Game 3 is the most crucial in a seven-game series and the team that wins normally goes on to win the series. We see the home team winning tonight and we think Boston will win this series. This team didn’t play well in the regular season, but the playoffs are a different animal and Boston is built for the postseason. The Bucks are 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings in Boston and 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings overall. We think the very deep Celtics team matches up well in this series and we expect them to lock down on defense against this inflated total. | |||||||

05-03-19 | Royals v. Tigers -147 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #920 Detroit over Kansas City (7:10 p.m. Friday, May 3) The Tigers haven't been scoring a ton of runs this year, in fact they are the only team in the American League that have yet to score 100 runs on the season. With the way Matthew Boyd has been pitching they may not need to score a lot of runs to pick up the win. Boyd is 2-2 with a 3.13 ERA through his six starts this season and I think he will be able to maneuver his way through the Royals lineup that is just 3-10 on the road this season. The Tigers already swept the Royals in Detroit this season and Boyd didn't pitch in those matchups which I think will be an advantage for him. Jorge Lopez will be pitching for Kansas City and he has allowed 4 earned runs in each of his last three starts with two of those games coming on the road and I think Detroit can have similar success tongiht. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-03-19 | Islanders v. Hurricanes OVER 5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #079. Take Over 5 Goals - New York Islanders vs Carolina (Friday, May 3 at 7:08 p.m.) As per your selection on the 'over' in this spot, we fully expect a big urgency game on behalf of the Islanders as their season is on the line and the only way they are going to stave off elimination is by finding their scoring touch. We know it's obvious to say they need to score more goals, but its the truth and their best players need to step up. The Islanders have been limited to just 3 goals in three games and so in this elimination game it's time to do the opposite of what they've done and generate more chances and play with a purpose. The Canes on the other hand have the benefit of playing at home again and they should be ready to end this series and as they are a team who generates the most shots on net in the league, they should have plenty of chances to put this game to bed. We love the fact that we have the empty netter scenario in play here, where in an elimination game, the Islanders could potentially pull the goalie early or several times trying to chase a goal that will get them closer or tie the game. The price is too good to pass up on the over and we expect at least 6 goals tonight. | |||||||
05-02-19 | Raptors -1.5 v. 76ers | Top | 95-116 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
Road teams have done well in the postseason thus far and the bookies have also posted too high of totals in these playoffs with the under trending, and that is the direction we see for this Game 3 tonight. While we liked Philly getting a fair bit of points in their road games in Toronto, we still think this is the Raptors series to lose, and with them losing Game 2 the urgency is now raised and they need a win here tonight. We expect them to get it. This is an important game for both teams, and we see both locking down on the defensive end, but the Raptors will have a bit more success on offense. | |||||||
05-02-19 | Bruins v. Blue Jackets -120 | 4-1 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #076. Take Columbus over Boston (Thursday, May 2 at 7:38 p.m.) As per your selection on Columbus here tonight, we simply believe it's going to be the end of the road for the Bruins this season. Yes, we know the series is still delicately poised at 2-1, but the Jackets have been the better team for every game so far this series and finally got rewarded with a big win in Game 3. We believe that momentum carries over into Game 4 and the Jackets take a commanding 3-1 series lead. Look the Bruins just look old and slow. They've done nothing to show us they can generate offense at a good clip and if you look closely, you'll notice the frustration starting to seep into the ranks. The trio of Marchand, Pastrnak and Bergeron have combined for 1 lousy goal. If they aren't going, the Bruins are simply not a good team. We like how well Columbus has played defensive on these guys and we feel they won't change in this spot. The Bruins are a lousy 1-5 in their last 5 games in Columbus, while the Jackets are4-0 in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest and 8-1 in their last 9 home games. Take Columbus. | |||||||
05-02-19 | Rays -165 v. Royals | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 8 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play. Take #961 Tampa Bay over Kansas City (2:15 p.m. Thursday, May 2) Tampa Bay got swept in a double header yesterday by Kansas City but I think they are going to get out of town with a win and avoid the sweep. Charlie Morton has been great in his first season with the Rays, coming into today's matchup with a 3-0 record and a 2.76 ERA through six starts. Morton has done his best work on the road as he is 2-0 with a 1.72 ERA allowing just 3 earned runs over 15.2 innings. Danny Duffy will be on the mound for the Royals making just his second start of the season and facing a Rays team that has the best run differential in all of baseball. Tampa Bay scored 2 runs in both games yesterday but I think they will be able to plate more runs in this one and get the win. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
05-01-19 | Blues v. Stars -119 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #074. Take Dallas over St. Louis (Wednesday, May 1 at 9:38 p.m.) As per your selection on Dallas here tonight, we refuse to believe the St. Louis will go the entire first two rounds unbeaten on the road in the postseason. We liked Dallas' fightback for Game 3 and we believe they were the better team for the majority of the game. This game is essentially Dallas' season on the line and we expect them to come out with a gusty performance and pull off the W. Look, St. Louis has played good, but they are getting timely bounces and puck luck can only help out a team for so long before it goes sour. We have yet to see St. Louis dominate a game from start to finish and we believe Dallas has been the better team for at least 2.5 out of the three games so far. We like Dallas at home tonight in a must-win situation to even the series at 2-2. The Stars are 5-0 in their last 5 Wednesday games and 4-1 in their last 5 games as a favorite. They are also 5-2 in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. Take the Stars and enjoy a nice winner. | |||||||
05-01-19 | Rockies v. Brewers -131 | 11-4 | Loss | -131 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #908 Milwaukee over Colorado (7:40 p.m. Wednesday, May 1) Milwaukee has won the first two games of this series and its in large part to Jesus Aguilar finally hitting the ball out of the park. Aguilar hadn't hit a home run before this series but he hit two in the first game and he delivered a three run bomb last night that provided the winning run. Chase Anderson will look to keep the Brewers winning streak going as he will be making his third start of the season after starting the year in the bullpen. Antonio Senzatela will be on the bump for the Rockies and he has allowed at least 3 earned runs in his last two starts and will look to slow down the high powered Milwaukee offense. I think the Brewers keep it going and pick up the win in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
04-30-19 | Rockets +5.5 v. Warriors | Top | 109-115 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
Houston was in a position to win Game 1. We think this series is much closer than the oddsmakers think, and Golden State seems to have lost some of their fire and they just don’t have the same swagger as we have seen the last few seasons. The refs really screwed the Rockets in Game 1, and this has been massively publicized. If we see the same thing here in Game 2, there will be major scrutiny from the officials so we think the Rockets will get a fair shake here, and maybe even get more calls than the Warriors. The Game 1 total went way under and we still think this Game 2 number is too high and we just don’t see a free flowing game and we think every possession will be challenged on each end of the court. | |||||||

3-Unit Play. Take #978 Arizona over NY Yankees (9:40 p.m. Tuesday, April 30) There's going to be plenty of intrigue tonight to see if CC Sabathia can become just the third lefty to amass 3,000 strikeouts for his career. While I think he will eclipse that mark, I don't think he is going to lead his team to victory. Sabathia has lasted just 5 innings in each of his three starts this season and he was roughed up for 4 earned runs on 6 hits (3 home runs) his last time out, and I think the D'backs offense which has produced the second most runs in the NL will be able to continue that success tonight. Arizona has won the last 5 starts Zack Greinke has made and he hasn't allowed a run over his last 13 innings. I like the Diamondbacks to get it done at home in this one.

04-30-19 | Celtics +7.5 v. Bucks | 102-123 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
We really like the Celtics in this series and we think they have a great chance to win the east. This team underperformed in the regular season, but the playoffs are a whole different game and the Celtics are built for the postseason. We expect a very competitive game here, and the oddsmakers didn’t really make much of an adjustment from the Game 1 line despite a 22-point win for Boston. We think this game will be more competitive because the Bucks season is basically on the line here, but Boston won’t roll over and be satisfied with their Game 1 win, and both teams should lock down on defense in what we expect will be another low-scoring game. | |||||||

We are pretty confident the Blazers will win this series and we obviously like them in Game 1 here getting the points. Portland made easy work of OKC in their first-round matchup and they are the more well rested team coming in to this series as the Nuggets had a grueling seven-game series where they almost blew it at the end on their home court. Many, including us, were skeptical of the Blazers in the postseason after losing Nurkic, but they have proved us wrong and this team just looks ready to head to the conference finals after a disappointing playoff exit last season. Most of these Game 1s have gone under while these teams figure each other out in the early going, and this total looks a tad high as well. | |||||||

3-Unit Play. Take #909 LA Dodgers over San Francisco (9:45 p.m. Monday, April 29) The Giants and Dodgers come into tonight's contest on opposite ends of streaks and I think those streaks will continue. Los Angeles has won their last four games while San Francisco has lost their last 3 contests. Kenta Maeda owns a winning record against the Giants and I think he will deliver tonight after having a rough outing his last time out. Jeff Samardzija is off to a good start this season but he is just 1-4 with a 4.06 ERA over 8 appearances against LA and with the way the Dodgers offense is clicking right now I think he will struggle in this one. The Giants offense has been pathetic this season batting just .210 collectively and I think they will be hard pressed to score some runs in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
04-29-19 | 76ers +6.5 v. Raptors | 94-89 | Win | 100 | 24 h 50 m | Show | |
Toronto got off to a strong first quarter in Game 1 and these two teams played pretty close the rest of the way and no other quarter was decided by more than two points even though the Raptors won all four quarters en route to a 13-point win. We think Philly will play a more complete game in this one. Some of the big names for the Sixers didn’t play well and we expect a better effort this time out and we think this series is closer than the Game 1 results indicate. | |||||||
04-28-19 | Rockets +5.5 v. Warriors | 100-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
In the Warriors series against the Clippers, Los Angeles played pretty well. But it was also the struggles of the Warriors that allowed this series to be so competitive. And Game 6 would have been a lot closer if Lou Williams didn’t miss so many shots for LA. Now Curry and Thompson are banged up. This team just doesn’t have the fire that they had in previous years. They have a quick turnaround for this series. And they play a Rockets team that just embarrassed a pretty good Utah team. Houston could win outright. | |||||||
04-28-19 | Celtics +7.5 v. Bucks | 112-90 | Win | 100 | 4 h 1 m | Show | |
We think this will be one of the tightest series and best ones in recent years. Despite the regular season records we think these teams match up well together. As long as they keep giving us lines like this for the Celtics we will take them. We can see each team winning on the other’s home court at some point in this series. We think this Game 1 will be a close one regardless. | |||||||
04-27-19 | Spurs v. Nuggets -6 | Top | 86-90 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
We like the home team to get the job done tonight. The Nuggets have one of the best home court advantages in the NBA. They have lacked playoff experience coming into the postseason, but they have it now and they have a chance to advance here at home, and we expect them to get the job done. They have blown out the Spurs a couple times in this series, and we think this one has a chance to be a 10+-point win. | |||||||
04-27-19 | 76ers v. Raptors UNDER 223 | 95-108 | Win | 100 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
This should be a very tightly-contested series and we expect this Game 1 to be close. We thought that this Game 1 line was a little high and this total is high as well. Both teams should lock down on defense in Game 1 and they will be feeling each other out and we don’t expect a free-flowing offensive game. A Philly win in Game 1 would not be shocking, but we expect a close game either way. | |||||||

3-Unit Play. #003. Take Colorado over San Jose (Friday, April 26 at 10:08 p.m.) As per your selection on Colorado, we are simply going to play against San Jose as they come off of that epic comeback in Game 7 against Vegas just two days ago. That surely took a lot of energy and emotion out of them, so we believe they will come out slow and sluggish in this one. Colorado played extremely well in their Round 1 upset of Calgary and their top line is firing on all cylinders right now. We like the goaltending matchup that favours Colorado and we believe at an underdog price, they are worthy of a play. | |||||||
04-26-19 | Warriors v. Clippers +10 | Top | 129-110 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 7 m | Show |
The Warriors were the biggest NBA favorites in a series in NBA history for this series with the No. 8 Clippers. But now here we are heading to Game 6 at Staples Center after Los Angeles shocked the world with a Game 5 win in the Bay Area. This Clippers team has been underrated all season, and they have gotten even better as the season has worn on. They played an absolutely masterful game in Game 5 and they dominated in crunch time of that game. They have nothing to lose here and all the pressure is on the Warriors. This Golden State team has had issues all season. They were one of the worst betting teams all year. They had some head-scratching losses, especially at home. They don’t seem to have the same fire they have played with the last couple years, and they don’t seem to get along as well when they face adversity. They will likely win on Friday, but we think there’s a real good chance that they might miss out on a championship this year. And we might see the end of a dynasty as this team likely won’t have the same makeup. But there is no reason to think this won’t be a competitive game. This is Ralph Lawler’s, the long-time Clippers announcer, final home game. He is well loved by the team and fans and we think that’s an extra motivation for the team. You would think this Game 5 loss would be a wake up call for Golden State but they still lost another at home after Game 2, and they should have played with more determination in Game 5 after seeing Houston close out Utah in their series and knowing the team that gave them lots of trouble last year is getting extra rest. That they failed in this crucial spot says a lot about the team this season, and we think this will be an extremely competitive game on Friday. | |||||||
04-26-19 | Reds v. Cardinals -143 | 12-1 | Loss | -143 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. Take #960 St. Louis over Cincinnati (8:15 p.m. Friday, April 26) The Cardinals come into tonight's contest playing some of their best baseball of the season and riding a 5 game winning streak after sweeping their division rival Milwaukee Brewers. They welcome another divisional foe in the Reds and will send Miles Mikolas to the mound who looks like he is rounding into form. Mikolas has gone at least 5 innings in each of his starts this season and his most recent one was his best when he went 8 innings and yielded just four hits and 2 runs in defeating the Mets 10-2. Antony Desclafani will have the ball for Cinci and he hasn't had much luck as the Reds have won just one of his last nine starts he has made dating back to last season. He hasn't been very good when pitching in Busch Stadium as he is 2-2 with a with a 4.32 ERA in 5 starts. Desclafani will have his hands full with the Cardinals lineup that has a lot of guys seeing the ball really well right now. I like the St. Louis to get it done in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||

3-Unit Play. #007. Take Carolina over New York Islanders (Friday, April 26 at 7:08 p.m.) As per your selection on Carolina, I was the only person to back them in Game 7 against Washington and why not go back to the well at a nice underdog price here. I told you guys that they were just too young to buckle under the expectations of the moment and with the way this playoff has gone, we should expect the unexpected. Carolina just seems like a team that has everything working in their favor and the Islanders, outside of their good defensive record, got a reasonably favorable draw in Round 1 against a struggling Penguins team. We will ride the high of Carolina in Game 1 tonight and hope they can get us a nicely priced winner. | |||||||
04-25-19 | Nuggets v. Spurs -3 | Top | 103-120 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
This looks like a seven-game series all the way, and Denver has always seemed to be one of the more vulnerable teams in the Western Conference playoffs. They have no postseason experience, and no matter what they did in the regular season, the postseason is a whole different animal, and the Spurs have all the stripes in this situation. They also have one of the best coaches in the game, and we think he will find a way to extend this series. We think the Spurs will get the job done on the defensive end, and this one will be a lot different than Game 4, the only time in the last few years that the Nuggets have had any success playing in San Antonio. Also with the lack of drama in the postseason this year in regards to long series, we think the refs will really be on the side of the Spurs as the NBA would love a Game 7 in the first round. And although there is no fix in, the home team normally gets the calls in these situations. | |||||||
04-25-19 | Tigers v. Red Sox OVER 9.5 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take Over in Detroit at Boston (7:10 p.m. Thursday, April 25) Last night was the first time all season Boston has put up double digit runs in a game and I think they could do that again tonight. Jordan Zimmerman will be pitching for Detroit and in three starts he has made at Fenway Park he is 0-1 with a 7.04 ERA. The Red Sox offense has been a disappointment so far this season but it has been building and I think they will be able to score a lot of runs in this matchup. Rick Porcello was better his last time out for Boston, but that isn't saying much because he had been really bad in his first three starts allowing at least 3 runs in each contest and not making it through 5 innings. I think the offenses win out in this one and push this game over. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
04-25-19 | Blue Jackets +135 v. Bruins | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #003. Take Columbus over Boston (Thursday, April 25 at 7:08 p.m.) As per your selection on Columbus, we feel that they are the better team coming into this series and with extra rest time to prepare themselves for this series, we feel that there is no way they come out flat given what's on the line. Look, the Bruins took down a good Maple Leafs team, but the Leafs got in their own way, Boston was just good at capitalizing on their chances. Columbus is similar to Toronto in a way that they have extreme depth and they are strong on all three lines. The Jackets are also much better on the blue line than the Leafs, so don't expect any gimmies for the Bruins to take advantage of. The Jackets also have the edge in net with Bobrovski over Rask, so we believe Columbus will come out ready to play in this one. Boston will have a small let down after beating the Leafs in Game 7 just two days ago and as such, will come out a bit lethargic and put themselves behind the eight ball. | |||||||
04-24-19 | Clippers v. Warriors UNDER 233.5 | 129-121 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
This series has split on the over/under with two of the four series games going over and the other two going under. We think there’s a good chance that this game is a blowout as the Warriors really need to close this series out quickly and another game would hurt this club in the long run. We think they will really lock down on defense, and we just don’t see the Clippers scoring enough on their end to get this one over the posted number. | |||||||
04-24-19 | Jazz +8.5 v. Rockets | Top | 93-100 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
Utah didn’t show a lot of life in this series until Game 4 and they played a really amazing game. We think there’s a good chance that momentum carries over here tonight. Some of the teams that faced elimination last night didn’t even put up a fight, but the Jazz are a very good team and one that has a lot of pride. They know they are right back in this series with an upset tonight and then a home game for Game 6. We think they will leave it all on the court tonight. | |||||||
04-24-19 | Hurricanes +140 v. Capitals | 4-3 | Win | 140 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #023. Take Carolina over Washington (Wednesday, April 24 at 7:08 p.m.) As per your selection on Carolina, we simply believe that this is too much value to pass up in a one game, winner takes all scenario. Sure, this series has been dominated by the home teams, but this year has a feel of expected the unexpected and what better way to start the second round tomorrow than an Eastern conference that features Carolina, NYI, Columbus and those dumb Bruins. Holtby is inconsistent and the Hurricanes might just have no idea what's going on which is why they come out playing loose and win this game. The pressure is squarely on the shoulders of the Capitals and while they did face extreme pressure and adversity last year on route to the Cup, we'll bank on the law of averages evening that out. Take Carolina tonight if you want a little action. | |||||||
04-24-19 | Diamondbacks v. Pirates -115 | 11-2 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #958 Pittsburgh over Arizona (7:05 p.m. Wednesday, April 24) The Pittsburgh coaching staff has made it a thing in the past couple of years to turn mediocre veteran pitchers into highly effective ones and Jordan Lyles is the one this season. Lyles has allowed only one run through his first three starts this season and has allowed only 10 hits over the 17 innings he has pitched. The Pirates will face Merrill Kelly who has allowed at least 3 runs in three out of the four starts he has made in his first season in the majors. Arizona has taken the first two games of this series but I think the Pirates will be able to end that streak by getting to Kelly and Lyles shutting them down. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
04-23-19 | Golden Knights v. Sharks -110 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #012. Take San Jose over Vegas (Tuesday, April 23 at 10:08 p.m.) As per your selection on San Jose, we believe they can carry the momentum of staving off elimination in the must unlikeliest ways (short-handed double overtime goal) into Game 7 and win a single home game to advance to the second round. Look, much has been made of the goaltending differences for both teams as Marc Andre Fleury has played well for Vegas, while Martin Jones has struggled mightily at times. However, it is Jones who shut the door in a big way the last two games, giving up just three total goals. We also like the fact that SJ was a beast at home during the regular season and we believe they can use that home crowd advantage to give them a little extra something in the tank. Vegas was a great story last year, but this year their journey ends after Round 1. Take San Jose tonight and enjoy a winning night on the ice. | |||||||
04-23-19 | Nets +8.5 v. 76ers | Top | 100-122 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 19 m | Show |
It has been a great season for the Nets but their season might end tonight. But the way this team has played all season, we think they put up a good fight tonight. The Sixers have covered three straight in this playoff series but we have an inflated number here in Game 5 and we think that Brooklyn will do all they can to keep this competitive. The Nets will just come to work and they don’t have any big pressure tonight and we think the shots will fall and that this will be a close game. | |||||||
04-23-19 | Magic v. Raptors UNDER 206 | 96-115 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
All four games in this series have gone under the posted total, and seven of the last eight meetings have gone under the posted total. We haven’t seen much of an adjustment on the line from last game, and we think there is still value here for what has been a series with strong defense from both teams. Another blowout here is not out of the question, and that result would bode well for the under. | |||||||
04-23-19 | Braves -107 v. Reds | 6-7 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #901 Atlanta over Cincinnati (6:40 p.m. Tuesday, April 23) Atlanta is riding a 2 game win streak after taking the last two games against the Indians and I think they can keep the streak going against the Reds. Kevin Gausman has been great for the Braves since he came over last year at the trade deadline and he is off to a stellar start this year. Gausman is 1-1 with a 2.75 ERA and he has held opponents to a .141 batting average through his first three starts this season. Runs could be hard to come by for Cincinnati especially since they have provided starter Sonny Gray with just two runs of support wile he has been on the mound. Gray has lost both of his starts against the Braves in his career and I don't think things will end up in his favor in this one. Take the Braves. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
04-22-19 | Rockets -2.5 v. Jazz | 91-107 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
We thought that this series would be more competitive but the Jazz have played awful here and they just aren’t matching up well. They are toast and once you go down 3-0 there is no saving you. We think Game 3 sapped the rest of the Jazz’s competitive spirit and we think they will go out without a whimper tonight. | |||||||
04-22-19 | Phillies +104 v. Mets | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #953 Philadelphia over NY Mets (7:10 p.m. Monday, April 22) Philadelphia holds a one game lead over the Mets in the National League East and I think they will extend that lead with a win tonight. The Phillies took two out of three games from the Mets last week and Jake Arrieta picked up one of those wins. Arrieta is off to a great start this season carrying a 3-1 record with a 2.25 ERA and going at least 7 innings in 3 consecutive starts. Steven Matz will be on the bump for New York and he was solid in his first three starts to the season but it was a different story when he faced the Phillies his last time out. Matz did not get a Phillie hitter out an allowed 8 runs (6 earned) on 4 hits (2 home runs). I don't think it will be as bad this time out but I don't think last time was a complete fluke and I expect the Philadelphia lineup to put up some runs on him in this one and get the win. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
04-21-19 | Warriors -8.5 v. Clippers | Top | 113-105 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 17 m | Show |
The big comeback win in Game 2 was a wakeup call for the Warriors. And it’s not like they played bad all game in Game 2 as they were up by 31 points in the second half. They just took their foot off the gas and couldn’t get it started again. But now this team is motivated and they should win here by double digits. We do think this Warriors team will see some adversity in later rounds but this series is a mismatch. The future looks bright for the Clippers, but this year their surprising playoff appearance will be a brief one. | |||||||
04-21-19 | Bruins v. Maple Leafs -118 | 4-2 | Loss | -118 | 3 h 16 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #080. Take Toronto over Boston (Sunday, April 21 at 3:05 p.m.) **Note the Early 3pm Start Time** We are still traveling so no time for a lengthy write-up. As per your selection on Toronto, we believe they have simply broken the will of the Bruins. The Bruins have played well during but have essentially nothing to show for their efforts. Toronto is the faster, deeper and more talented team and when the time calls for it, they've asserted themselves as the clear cut better team in this series. They are getting phenomenal goaltending by Andersen and the defensive unit - which was supposed to be the weak link of the team has held up well against the Bruins top line. This is the Leafs chance to win a playoff series for the first time in 15 years and we believe they get the job done tonight. They simply have to because hey don't want to go back to Boston for a Game 7. | |||||||
04-21-19 | Twins -1.5 v. Orioles | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 12 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #915 Minnesota over Baltimore (1:05 p.m. Sunday, April 21) Minnesota clubbed 11 home runs in their double header yesterday in taking both games from the Orioles and I think they will bop some more today and complete the sweep. Dylan Bundy is 0-3 with a 5.01 ERA in four career starts against the Twins and he has already allowed 7 home runs in 17 2/3 innings this season. Kyle Gibson hasn't been very good so far this season but he has had success against the Orioles in the past and owns a winning record against them. Baltimore has been awful at home this year only winning one game and I don't think they will get their second win today. I like the Twins here. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
04-20-19 | Rockets v. Jazz -3 | 104-101 | Loss | -103 | 52 h 15 m | Show | |
If the Rockets win this game they will probably sweep the series, and we don’t see that happening. The Jazz are a very strong team and they will be back home to make their stand, and we see it working out well for them. Utah will lock down on defense and their home crowd will fuel them to the win. Just because two games were so lopsided doesn’t mean this series is over, and Utah will find a way to get it done. | |||||||
04-20-19 | Reds v. Padres +104 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #964 San Diego over Cincinnati (8:40 p.m. Saturday, April 20) The Reds had lost all seven road games this season until taking the last two from the Padres to open this series but I think their little winning streak is about to end. Eric Lauer will be pitching for San Diego tonight and he allowed just one run while striking out 12 Reds in two appearances against them last season and I think he can do the same against their offense that is not putting up many runs right now. Luis Castillo has been dynamite for Cincinnati so far this season but the Padres rocked him in two starts last season. Castillo lost both starts against San Diego last year allowing 11 hits, 4 of which were home runs, over 9.2 innings and I think the Padres will have similar success tonight. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
04-20-19 | Hurricanes +127 v. Capitals | 0-6 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #071. Take Carolina over Washington (Saturday, April 20 at 8:08 p.m.) We are still traveling so no time for a lengthy write-up. As per your selection on Carolina - why not ride with the hot team in this series? Carolina essentially flipped a switch during their two home games and have evened the series at 2-2, and now have all the momentum on their side. Washington looked disinterested in those two games in Raleigh, and they lost one of their key cogs in T.J. Oshie. Holtby looks shaky and we've seen the Caps struggle for extended periods of time this season. Let's take a chance with the Hurricanes and their nice underdog price in this one. | |||||||
04-20-19 | Bucks -8.5 v. Pistons | Top | 119-103 | Win | 100 | 50 h 54 m | Show |
This series hasn’t been even remotely competitive so far. We don’t think the change in venue will make much of a difference here. The teams have had two nights off and that favors the Bucks here as we think they will be rested and ready to put the Pistons one way from elimination. Detroit is the worst team in the postseason, and we don’t see them putting up much of a fight at home as the Pistons are living up to their reputation as the worst team in the playoffs this year. | |||||||
04-19-19 | Blazers +8 v. Thunder | 108-120 | Loss | -107 | 27 h 20 m | Show | |
While we think the Thunder have a good chance to win this game, and we admit we were wrong about them the two games in Portland, the Blazers have looked like the far superior team thus far in this series. And we think they are getting too many points in this one as we had this game handicapped at 4.5. The Blazers remember getting swept out of the postseason last year and they will want to get this series over with quickly in order to forget that debacle. This series looks like a possible sweep if the Blazers can win tonight, and the way these two teams have played, that doesn’t seem to far fetched. | |||||||
04-19-19 | Celtics +3 v. Pacers | Top | 104-96 | Win | 100 | 26 h 16 m | Show |
Neither of the first two games has come anywhere near 200, yet the oddsmakers are hesitant to put a total under 200 here. Indiana has been the best defensive team in the NBA all year. But Boston has stepped their defense up big time and they have held the Pacers to an average of 82 ppg in the two contests thus far. The Pacers have also struggled with their shooting. We don’t see either team breaking out on the offensive end, but Boston will do enough to get the job done and we expect them to win this game tonight. | |||||||

4-Unit Play. Take #904 Pittsburgh over San Francisco (7:05 p.m. Friday, April 19) Pittsburgh is off to a great start and are sitting atop the National League Central in large part to their pitching. Jordan Lyles has been great in his first two starts for the Pirates allowing just 6 hits and one run over 11 innings and I think he can have similar success against the Giants. Madison Bumgarner will be on the mound for San Francisco and he has lost both of his starts on the road this season mostly because his defense has let him down. The Giants have struggled early on this season away from San Francisco going 3-7 and I don't think they will get it done in this one. Pittsburgh had an off day yesterday after finishing up an 8 game road trip and I think they keep things rolling with another win tonight. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
04-19-19 | Raptors v. Magic UNDER 210 | 98-93 | Win | 100 | 25 h 46 m | Show | |
This series has been a defensive battle thus far, with both games going under the posted total. As a matter of fact, seven of the last nine meetings have gone under the total. And the under is 6-0 in the last six meetings in Orlando. The Magic are a very good defensive team and so is Toronto. This is probably one of the most crucial games in the series and we see both teams locking down on every possession. The oddsmakers have not adjusted this number enough. | |||||||
04-18-19 | Warriors -8.5 v. Clippers | Top | 132-105 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
The Clippers are getting a lot of love for their historic Game 2 comeback in the Bay Area. While the Clippers certainly earned that win, a lot had to do with poor coaching decisions from Golden State and an apathetic attitude from the team when they were up big. This Golden State team hasn’t had the fire that they have had in recent years. This team seems to need motivation to come from outside. But they should have that motivation tonight, and we see this one as being a blowout as the Warriors give a superhuman defensive effort in LA. | |||||||
04-18-19 | Blues v. Jets -118 | 3-2 | Loss | -118 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #046. Take Winnipeg over St. Louis (Thursday, April 18 at 8:38 p.m.) As per your selection on Winnipeg, we are going to roll with the home team in this spot as they have simply been the better team in every game this series and have won two straight to get the series back to 2-2. Now they get to go home to a place where they dominated most of the regular season and with momentum on their side, this Winnipeg team is a scary team to face. We don't believe the Blues have the offensive fire power to go goal for goal with the Jets and with the Jets big guns finding a way to contribute offensively, they have a distinct advantage. The Jets outplayed the Blues in Game 3 and if it weren't for another stellar performance by Jordan Binnington the Blues would have been blown out. We are going to side with the Jets as they have home ice back and they have momentum on their side. They are not going to let St. Louis come to MTS Centre and take a third game this series. | |||||||
04-18-19 | White Sox v. Tigers -101 | 7-9 | Win | 100 | 1 h 30 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #962 Detroit over Chicago (AL) (1:10 p.m. Wednesday, April 18) Detroit has lost 5 games in a row but they have been close games especially the last two that they lost in extra innings. Tyson Ross will be in charge of trying to end the streak as he will be making his second appearance at home for the Tigers. Ross was great in his first start in Detroit going 7 innings allowing 1 run on 5 hits in a 3-1 win over the Royals. He will need some help from his offense and especially Miguel Cabrera who is still in search of his first home run on the season. Ivan Nova has been up an down in his three starts for the White Sox and is still searching for his first win for his new club and I think he will still be looking after this contest. I think the Tigers win this game and end their losing skid. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
04-17-19 | Jazz +7 v. Rockets | Top | 98-118 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
The Jazz normally bounce back well after a bad loss, like the one they had in Game 1, and they are 4-0 ATS the last four games when getting beat by 10 or more in the previous game. We really like this Jazz team and we think they will make adjustments to keep this close in Game 2. We don’t think this Houston team is as good as last year’s club, and they are vulnerable in this game. The Jazz have been very good as big dogs this season, and we think they will come through on Wednesday night. |
