At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Argonauts + the points over Montreal.  The Argos won last year's Grey Cup by ending the season on a 6-1 SU/7-0 ATS run.  But things have not gone smoothly for the defending champs this season, as they're 1-4 SU/ATS.  This will be the 2nd meeting of the season between these teams -- both played in Montreal.  The Alouettes won the first game -- the season opener for both teams -- by 18 points on June 6.  We'll take Toronto as a double-digit road dog tonight, as CFL underdogs of more than 9 points have gone 101-80 ATS.  Additionally, the revenger has gone 22-8-1 ATS in this series when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season.  And Toronto falls into 71-37 and 103-59 ATS systems of mine.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Storm minus the points over the Golden State Valkyries.  The Storm come into this game on a 3-game ATS losing streak, including an upset loss to Washington, 74-69, as a 7-point home favorite on Sunday.  We'll take Seattle to bounce back, as it's 21-5-2 ATS vs. division rivals if it was off a SU/ATS loss, and also failed to cover each of its last three games.  Additionally, the Storm lost each of the first two meetings to Golden State this season, including an 84-57 blowout as a 4-point road favorite last month.  But Seattle falls into a 196-128-2 ATS revenge system of mine.  And, finally, .588 (or better) teams have cashed 64% when playing with revenge from a 27-point (or worse) loss earlier in the season.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Sparks + the points over the Washington Mystics.  Washington enters this game on a 3-game win streak, including an upset win at Seattle on Sunday, as a 7-point road dog.  We'll fade Washington tonight, as Los Angeles is 55-31-1 ATS vs. foes off back to back wins, while Washington is 0-7 SU and 2-5 ATS off 3 straight wins.  Additionally, the Mystics  are 13-21-2 ATS their last 36 vs. the Sparks, including 0-5 ATS off back to back wins.  Finally, Washington falls into a negative 128-211-6 ATS system of mine which fades certain teams off wins.  Take Los Angeles.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Valkyries minus the points over Phoenix.  In their maiden season, the Valkyries are 10-10 SU and 13-7 ATS.  They've had great success here, at home, where they've gone 7-3 SU and 8-2 ATS, including a perfect 7-0 ATS vs. winning opposition!  Phoenix took the first meeting, 86-77, but the Valkyries are 3-1 ATS this season when playing with revenge, including 1-0 ATS at home.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the UNDER in the British Columbia/Edmonton game.  The Elks put up 39 points last week in an upset win over Ottawa.  And that was the most points the Elks have scored at home in over 6 years.  The Elks are back home this week to face British Columbia, and we'll look for a much lower-scoring game on Sunday evening.  Indeed, the Under is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings between these rivals, including a 31-14 Lions win to open this season.  The Elks are 8-1-1 Under their last 10 after scoring more than 36 points in their previous game, while the Lions are 15-7-1 Under their last 23, overall.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the San Diego Padres.  Last night, the Padres handed Philly its second straight loss.  We'll take the Phils to bounce back this afternoon, as they're a stellar 45-25 (+8.3 net games) as a favorite this season, as well as 40-22 (+8.6 net games) when favored with Cristopher Sanchez on the hill.  Meanwhile, Nick Pivetta's teams are a putrid 34-56 (minus 9.3 net games) as an underdog when he toes the rubber.  Finally, Philly has excelled vs. righty starters (106-69, +16.7 net games) compared to lefties (45-42, minus 12.7 net games).  Take the Phillies.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1:35 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Boston Red Sox.  The Rays lost a tough one on Saturday, getting a complete game dose of Garrett Crochet -- the Red Sox ace and one of the best starters in the game.  But Tampa's pitching was pretty darn good too as the combination of Shane Baz and Edwin Uceta allowed just one run on five hits the entire game -- a 1-0 loss.  They'll send out another very good young starter this afternoon at Fenway Park in RH Ryan Pepiot.  The 27-year-old is 6-6 with a 3.32 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 19 starts covering 108 1/3 innings.  Pepiot was part of the trade that sent Tyler Glasnow and Manny Margot to the Dodgers and it's beginning to look like the Rays got the better of that deal.  Pepiot has really stepped it up lately as in his last nine starts, going back to May 25, he is 4-1 with a 2.60 ERA with 60 strikeouts and 18 walks in 52 innings.  And Pepiot is 3-2 with a 2.31 ERA in six afternoon starts this season (vs. 3-4 and 3.80 in 13 starts under the lights).   Take the Rays.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Ottawa Redblacks + the points over Hamilton.  Last week, Ottawa was a 2-point road favorite and lost, 39-33, to the Edmonton Elks, and is 1-4 on the season.  We'll take the Redblacks to bounce back, as road underdogs priced from +3.5 to +8.5 points have cashed 59% off an upset loss.  And Hamilton is an ugly 5-12 ATS its last 17 (and 68-85-2 ATS its last 155) as a favorite, including 0-4 ATS vs. Ottawa since 2022.  Take the Redblacks + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the UNDER in the Hamilton/Ottawa game.  The Redblacks gave up a season-high 39 points last week to the Edmonton Elks in a 39-33 setback.  But off that poor defensive performance, we'll look for a lower-scoring game on Saturday, as Ottawa has gone 44-28 UNDER after surrendering more than 28 points in their previous game.  And it is also 21-4 UNDER in games with O/U lines of 49+ points, if its previous game went Over the total.  Admittedly, the Tiger-Cats scored 51 points last week in a very high-scoring 51-38 win over the Argonauts.  But CFL teams off games where they scored 48+ points have gone 24-14-1 UNDER the total their last 39.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Calgary Stampeders + the points over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.  The Stamps are 3-1 and 1 game behind the 4-0 Roughriders in the standings.  Last week, the Stamps blew out Winnipeg, 37-16, as a 4.5-point home dog.  That bodes well for Calgary tonight, as .666 (or better) teams have cashed 67% off an outright win as a home dog by more than 11 points.  Additionally, Calgary is 27-10 SU and 22-13-2 ATS its last 37 meetings with Saskatchewan.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Calgary/Saskatchewan game.  Seven of the last 11 meetings between these rivals in Regina have gone UNDER the total.  And that's the way we will look tonight.  Last week, the Stamps scored 37 in a 21-point upset win over Winnipeg.  But off that offensive explosion, we'll look for a lower-scoring game here, as the Stamps are 55-34 UNDER the total after scoring 28+ points in their previous game.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Fever minus the points over the Atlanta Dream.  Atlanta blew out Indiana, 77-58, when these teams met last month in Georgia.  We'll take the Fever to avenge that loss, as they're 11-6-1 ATS their last 18 when playing with revenge, including 7-1-1 ATS vs. a foe off a SU win.  Atlanta, meanwhile, is 0-7 ATS its last seven vs. revenge-minded foes.  Take Caitlin Clark & Co. minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Cubs over the Minnesota Twins.  Last night, the Cubbies fell for the 2nd straight game in Minneapolis, and will look to bounce back this afternoon.  The good news for Chicago is that it is 27-10 off a loss this season, including 7-2 off back to back losses.  More good news:  Colin Rea will toe the rubber for the road team, and in his career, his teams have won 56 of his 90 starts (+28.4 net games), including 24-13 (+17.1 net games) on the road.  Chris Paddack will square off vs. Rea, and the Twins have won just two of his last nine starts.  His teams have also dropped 22 of 31 games when he's been installed as an underdog.  Take Chicago.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Cleveland Guardians. The Guardians won the second game of this series on Tuesday, 10-6, and that means tonight they will go for the sweep in Houston. This is not what you would call a marquee pitching match-up for the final game of the series as the Guardians send 26-year-old RH Slade Cecconi out to face 28-year-old southpaw Brandon Walter. The Stros have always been one of the better teams at picking pitchers off the scrap heap and turning them around but even they likely didn't see this stat coming from Walter: 33 strikeouts and two walks in 34 2/3 innings. His ERA is 4.15 so it's not like we're talking about the second coming of Pedro Martinez, but Walter has still surpassed pretty much any expectations anyone had of him coming into this, his rookie second season. He'll get a well-deserved seventh start of the season tonight and it will be his second against Cleveland. In two starts here at home this season, Walter is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 12 2/3 innings. Take the Astros. As always, good luck...Al McMordie

At 8 pm, our selection is on the New York Liberty minus the points over Las Vegas.  These two teams met in the season opener, and the Liberty won that game by 14 points, 92-78.  That started a 6-3 ATS run to start the season for New York.  But it has gone 0-8-1 ATS in its nine games since.  We'll take the Liberty to get back into the ATS win column tonight, as 0.550 (or better) teams have cashed 59% in the regular season on ATS losing streaks of 6 (or more) games.  Additionally, the Liberty are 7-1 SU and 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.  And the Aces are an atrocious 2-9 ATS their last 11 off a SU win, including 0-7 ATS vs. winning foes.  Take New York.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, on Monday, our selection is on the Phoenix Mercury minus the points over Dallas.  These two teams met in Dallas on Thursday, and the Wings upset the Mercury, 98-89, as an 11.5-point home underdog.  We'll take Phoenix to avenge that upset loss, as they had won and covered their previous 4 meetings vs. Dallas before getting upset last week.  Even better:  when teams have played back to back games, the teams off upset losses as favorites of more than 7 points have rebounded to cover 65% of the time in their next game.  Lay the points with Phoenix.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Athletics. With their move to Sacramento -- and then eventually Las Vegas -- you can't really call these meetings between the A's and Giants a Bay Series anymore. But it's still quite a rivalry, nonetheless, and will continue to be so almost certainly. It was the A's who drew first blood in the first meeting of the season last night as they blasted the Giants here at Sutter Health Park. San Francisco will look to answer tonight with its ace, Logan Webb, going to the mound for his National League-leading 19th start of the season. The 28-year-old righthander is having another strong campaign, going 7-6 with a 2.61 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in an NL-leading 113 2/3 innings. In seven career starts vs. the A's, Webb is 3-2 with a 3.61 ERA and 1.18 WHIP and he has a career 3.69 ERA in 42 inter-league starts. Webb has logged quality starts in each of his last seven trips to the mound going back to the end of May. Take San Francisco. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the British Columbia Lions + the points over Montreal.  The Alouettes are off to a 3-1 start this season, while the Lions are 1-3.  But Montreal is a miserable 14-23-1 ATS at home when it owns a winning record, and is playing a losing foe, including 4-11 ATS if that foe is off back-to-back losses.  The Lions, indeed are off back to back losses, as they enter on a 3-game SU/ATS losing streak.  The good news for BC is that it has thoroughly dominated Montreal, with 13 ATS wins in the last 15 meetings, including 4-0 SU/ATS the previous two seasons.  Even better:  BC is 29-18 ATS off back-to-back losses.  Take British Columbia.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the British Columbia/Montreal game.  The Alouettes have gone 93-58-4 UNDER the total in their last 155 home games, and that's the way we'll look on this Saturday evening.  When these two teams met last, the Lions came away with a 27-3 victory, which sent that game UNDER the total by 20 points.  And that was the 7th time of the last 10 meetings that the UNDER cashed.  Additionally, last week, the Alouettes gave up a season-high 35 points in an upset loss at Hamilton.  But Montreal is 38-14 UNDER the total after giving up 33+ points in its previous game.  Take the Lions & Alouettes UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the New York Mets.  What looked like a very comfortable lead atop the AL East Division less than a month ago has turned into a tenuous situation to say the least.  With the Yanks having lost 15 of their last 21 games, the Blue Jays have ascended to the top spot while the pesky Rays are tied with New York for 2nd/3rd place. The Mets took the first game of this Subway Series and that's saying something as they were on their downward spiral until recently. The Yankees will look to answer this afternoon with Carlos Rodon, who will likely be in the All-Star Game in Atlanta in a little over a week. The veteran southpaw is 9-5 with a 2.95 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in an American League-leading 18 starts covering 106 2/3 innings. And no pitcher loves these Subway match-ups more than Rodon, who is 3-0 with a 1.15 ERA in three career starts vs. the Mets covering 15 2/3 innings. Take the Yankees. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Pittsburgh Pirates.  There is no better proof in the Majors that if a starter can keep his walks down, then he can be successful overall than the Mariners' Bryan Woo. In his breakout 2024 campaign, the 24-year-old RH walked an average of 1.0 hitters per nine innings -- one of the lowest walk rates in the League. And not surprisingly, Woo finished the season with a 9-3 record, 2.89 ERA, and 0.90 WHIP. He's doing essentially the same thing this season, although the walk rate has risen slightly to 1.5. This year Woo is 7-4 with a 2.93 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 16 starts covering 101 1/3 innings. He's well on his way to being chosen for his first AL All Star squad and he'll get another chance to prove himself this afternoon against a team which is red-hot, with 6 straight wins.  But the Bucco's are 7-14 (minus 7.3 net games) vs. the American League this season, 12-29 (minus 11.6 net games on the road), including 6-19 (minus 7.3 net games) as a road underdog of +150 (or more).   The Mariners, meanwhile, are 17-6 (+8.4 net games) in Bryan Woo's 23 home starts in his career, including 13-2 (+10.4 net games) when the Mariners are off a loss.  Take Seattle.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Toronto Blue Jays. Clarke Schmidt had a rough outing in his last start against the A's last Saturday (6 IP; 4 ER). But in his prior three starts, the 29-year-old Yankees RH starter had been almost unhittable, shutting out the Royals, Angels, and Orioles over a total of 20 2/3 innings. Overall, Schmidt is having a solid season so far, going 4-4 with a 3.09 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 13 starts covering just under 76 innings. Start number 14 will come tonight in Toronto as the Yankees try to avoid being swept by the Blue Jays, who have won the first three games of this series. In seven career appearances against the Jays -- including four starts -- Schmidt has a 2.78 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 22 2/3 innings. This will be Schmidt's second start vs. Toronto this season as he faced the Jays on April 27, allowing one run on one hit in five innings with six strikeouts in a 5-1 Yanks win. Take New York. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Kansas City Royals. After starting a full season worth of games since he came into the Majors in 2021 (including a league-high 33 in 2024), Mariners ace Logan Gilbert finally saw some time on the IL this season. The 28-year-old RH missed almost two months due to a strained elbow flexor and is now recovered and back in the Seattle rotation. He's had three starts since coming off the IL and although he hasn't been the dominant pitcher we've gotten used to, Gilbert is getting stronger with each start and should be able to take a step forward tonight in his 10th trip to the mound. It certainly doesn't hurt his chances that the Royals have had MAJOR issues putting runs across the plate in 2025. In fact, KC's 282 runs scored has it ranked 30th out of 30 in the Majors so far this season -- a problem that doesn't seem to be getting any better lately. Gilbert has a 2.35 ERA in six starts here at home this season vs. 6.00 in three starts on the road. Take the Mariners. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Fever + the points over the Minnesota Lynx.  This is the first meeting of the season between these teams, and it will come in the championship game of the Commissioner's Cup In-Season Tournament.  Caitlin Clark has missed the Fever's last two games with a groin injury, and her status for tonight's game is questionable.  Regardless, we'll grab the points with Indiana.  The underdog is a perfect 4-0 in the WNBA's Commissioner's Cup title games, and the Fever are 26-16-2 ATS as a single-digit underdog.  That bodes well for Indiana.  As does the fact that Minnesota is a miserable 3-11 ATS off back-to-back wins, including 0-7 ATS when not favored by 8+ points.  Take the Fever.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Arizona Diamondbacks. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more reliable and consistent starter over the past four seasons than the Giants' Logan Webb. And the 28-year-old RH is having another outstanding campaign, going 7-5 with a 2.52 ERA in a league-leading 17 starts so far in 2025. His 5.22 K:BB ratio is the best number he's had since his 2023 season in which he finished second in the NL Cy Young. Webb will get start number 18 tonight and it will come against a Diamondbacks team which he's recently had a lot of success against. In his two starts vs. Arizona last season, Webb held the D-Backs scoreless on just six hits over 13 innings with eight strikeouts and two walks and one of those starts was here at Chase Field. This will be Webb's sixth start of June and so far this has been one of the best months of his career as he is 2-0 with a 1.85 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in five starts covering 34 innings. Take the Giants. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:00 pm, our selection is on the Connecticut Sun + the points over Minnesota.  The Lynx are 13-2 on the season and are laying more points this evening than any team has in this 2025 season.  Granted, Connecticut has dropped eight straight games.  But we'll happily take the points with the Sun, as Minnesota is 1-6-1 ATS its last eight when laying more than 14 points.  Meanwhile, Connecticut is 6-3 ATS this season when catching double-digits.  And the underdog has gone 32-23-1 ATS in this series.   Finally, 0.666 (or better) teams have cashed just 33 of 91 vs. foes off 3+ losses.  Take Connecticut.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Argonauts + the points over Ottawa.  The Argos have gotten off to an 0-3 SU/ATS start this season.  Last week's 39-32 loss was particularly irksome, as they tied the game with a TD and a 2-point conversion with less than 30 seconds to go, but gave up a 99-yard kickoff return for a TD right after.  Toronto will look to get off the schneid this evening and will face an Ottawa team it has thoroughly dominated.  Toronto won in the Playoffs, 58-38, vs. the Redblacks last season, and has won 20 of the last 25 meetings, straight-up (17-8 ATS).  We'll grab the points with the Argos, as Ottawa is an awful 11-31 ATS as a favorite, including 1-11 ATS if Ottawa's win percentage differential was greater than 0.250.  Take Toronto.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the British Columbia Lions and Saskatchewan Roughriders to go UNDER the total.  The Roughriders enter this game with a 3-0 SU/ATS record, and have scored 31, 28 and 39 in their first three games.  We'll look for a lower-scoring game this evening, as CFL teams have gone 56% UNDER following a three-game stretch where they tallied 90+ points.  Even worse, if our high-scoring team was off back to back wins, and playing at home, then our 56% stat zooms to 61%, including 8-0 UNDER the last eight.  In this series, these two teams have gone 13-5-2 UNDER here at Regina, including both meetings last season.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Montreal/Hamilton game.  These two teams have played unders in 10 of the last 13 meetings.  And that's the way we will look on this Friday.  It's true that Montreal has scored 69 points in its last two games, combined, with each going over the total.  But the Alouettes are 85-55-3 UNDER off an Over, and 19-9 UNDER after scoring more than 30 points in back to back games.  And the Tiger-Cats are 56-35 UNDER vs. foes off back to back wins.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Elks + the points over Winnipeg.  The Blue Bombers come into this game off back to back blowout wins over British Columbia to start the season, while Edmonton is off back to back blowout losses.  Unfortunately, favorites of -3 (or more) points off back to back double-digit wins to start a season have cashed just 33%.  And Winnipeg is a poor 25-35 ATS as a favorite vs. foes off a SU/ATS loss.  Take Edmonton + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Miami Marlins. Hayden Birdsong is a 23-year-old RH pitcher for the Giants in his second year in the Majors. The former Eastern Illinois standout was drafted in the 6th round in 2022 and he made his debut in the big leagues exactly one year ago today with a start against the Chicago Cubs right here at Oracle Park. Birdsong was used exclusively out of the rotation last season, but this year he campaign as a reliever until Justin Verlander landed on the IL. On May 20th, Birdsong made his first start of the season and he hasn't pitched out of the bullpen since as he's allowed three runs or less in five of his six starts coming into this afternoon. This will be Birdsong's second career start against the Marlins as he beat them just 25 days ago in Miami, allowing one run on five hits in 5 1/3 innings for his third victory of the season. Birdsong is 2-0 with a 2.73 ERA in nine games -- three starts -- at home this season and that's more than a run lower than he's tallied on the road (1-1 with a 3.91 ERA).  The Giants are also 15-2 in their daytime home games this year.  Take San Francisco. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Connecticut Sun + the points over Las Vegas.  We played on the Aces on Sunday and got the $$$ in their 8-point win over Indiana.  Tonight, they'll welcome the Sun to Sin City, and Connecticut will be looking to snap a 6-game losing streak.  Las Vegas is a poor 4-9-1 ATS the last two seasons off a SU win, when favored vs. a foe off a SU loss.  And it is also 6-15-1 ATS its last 22 when favored by 6+ points off a SU win.  Meanwhile, the Sun are 17-4 ATS their last 21 when getting more than 10 points, including 7-0 ATS if they failed to cover the spread in their previous game by 10+.  With Connecticut off a 24-point blowout loss to Golden State, as a 9.5-point road underdog, we'll take Connecticut to bounce back on this Wednesday.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Sparks minus the points over the Chicago Sky.  The Sparks come into this game on a 3-game SU/ATS losing streak, with losses to the Lynx (twice) and Storm.  We'll take L.A. to bounce back tonight, as they'll step down in class to take on the 3-10 Sky.  Los Angeles is an awesome 25-12-1 ATS off 3 SU/ATS losses, while Chicago is 16-25-1 ATS vs. foes off 3 SU/ATS losses.  And the Sky are 32-56 ATS as a home dog, if they owned a losing record.  Lay the points with the Sparks.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Minnesota Twins. Bryan Woo's role in the Mariners rotation has changed quite a bit this season. Normally Seattle's #4 or 5 starter, the 25-year-old RH has been forced into what is basically the #2 slot -- behind Luis Castillo -- due to first-half injuries to Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, and Bryce Miller. Now Gilbert and Kirby have returned and this should help Woo considerably -- not to mention the Mariners overall. Not that Woo has been doing poorly, in fact just the opposite. In 14 starts covering 89 1/3 innings, Woo is 6-4 with a 3.12 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. He'll get start number 15 tonight against a team that he threw a quality start against less than a month ago (May 30). And he's looking for some revenge as, despite allowing just three runs in 6 2/3 innings in that one, the bullpen imploded and the Twins went on to take a 12-6 victory. Woo comes into tonight off his best start of the season, as he one-hit the Red Sox over seven shutout innings last Tuesday. Take the Mariners. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Indiana.  The Thunder were 68-14 in the regular season, which was tops on the league.  In the Playoffs, home field advantage is crucial in series that extend to a 7th game.  Indeed, Home teams have won 63 of 90 Game 7s, straight-up since 1990.  Importantly, the Thunder have won 79% of their games this season.  And NBA teams with a win percentage of .777 (or better) have cashed 86% in NBA Game 7s since 1990.  Admittedly, OKC laid an egg in Game 6.  But that was on the road, where OKC has gone 1-9 ATS in the Playoffs.  At home, the Thunder are 9-3 ATS in the Playoffs, and 37-15-1 ATS in the regular season and post-season combined.  We'll lay the points with the Thunder.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Las Vegas Aces + the points over Indiana.  Becky Hammon's women have started the season slowly, with a 5-7 record, and are 0-6 ATS their last six games.  We'll take the Aces to bounce back this afternoon against Caitlin Clark & Co., as Las Vegas is a solid 31-21-2 ATS at home off back-to-back SU/ATS losses.  Indiana, meanwhile, is 17-25-1 ATS vs. foes off 3 SU/ATS losses.  WNBA teams off 5+ point spread losses have cashed 56.3% in the regular season.  And, finally, the Aces have won 15 straight vs. the Fever (and 23-1 their last 24).  They're also 19-9-1 ATS their last 29 vs. Indy, including 8-1 ATS as an underdog.  Grab the points with Vegas.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2:20 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Chicago Cubs. Over the last three or so seasons (roughly since the acquisition of Luis Castillo from the Reds), the Mariners have consistently had one of the best -- and most reliable -- starting pitching staffs in the League. But that run has hit a bit of a speed bump in 2025. Three of their top starters, outside of the aforementioned Castillo and Bryan Woo, -- Bryce Miller, George Kirby, and Logan Gilbert, have all been battling injuries in the first half of the season. As a result, a team that should probably be at least 10 games over .500 is struggling to stay above that mark right now. Gilbert has been limited to just seven starts all season, but he's returned to action for now and is slated to get his eighth start this afternoon against the Cubs. When Gilbert is right, he's one of the best in the League and the M's are certainly hoping for a return to that form. The 28-year-old RH has been an inter-league machine in his career, going 13-8 with a 2.98 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 28 starts vs. teams from the National League. Take Seattle. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 2:15 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Reds over the St. Louis Cardinals.  Sometimes, it's easy to tell when a pitcher's breakout season is about to occur.  Not so with the Reds' Andrew Abbott.  Sure, the 26-year-old had put in two solid seasons in 2023-2024 with an 18-16 record and ERA under four runs.  That would have hardly portended that he would become one of the most dominant southpaws in the league this season.  But so far, that is exactly what has happened as Abbott is 6-1 with a 1.84 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 12 starts covering just over 68 innings (the Reds are 9-3 in those 12 starts).  And, oh by the way, he also has a complete game shutout to his credit.  Abbott will go back to the hill this afternoon against the Cards in St. Louis and that last part is important as in his last three road starts, Abbott has been nearly flawless, allowing no runs on eight hits in 21 innings with 21 strikeouts and only two walks.  This will be Abbott's second start of the season vs. St. Louis, and for his career he is 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA in two previous starts here at Busch Stadium.  Cincy is also 18-11 (+11.8 net games) in his 29 career road starts.  Take the Reds. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the British Columbia Lions + the points over Winnipeg.  These two teams met last week, and the Blue Bombers upset the Lions, 34-20, as a 4.5-point home underdog.  The Lions are at home for this rematch, and have been installed as a home dog.  We'll take BC + the points, as home teams have gone 47-38-3 ATS off a SU/ATS loss if it was playing the same opponent in back-to-back games.  And Winnipeg is 0-12 ATS as a road favorite of -2.5 (or more) points vs. foes off a SU loss, if its foe was playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season.  Take British Columbia.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Ottawa Redblacks + the points over Calgary.  The Stampeders come into this game off back-to-back upset wins over Hamilton (38-26) and Toronto (29-19), while the Redblacks have started the 2025 campaign 0-2, with losses at Saskatchewan (31-26) and at home vs. Montreal (39-18).  We'll take Ottawa as the underdog as CFL underdogs off back to back losses have cashed 76.5% vs. foes off back to back upset wins.  Grab the points with the Redblacks.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Las Vegas Aces + the points over Seattle.  The Aces are currently riding a 5-game point spread losing streak after losing at Minnesota, 76-62.  We'll take Las Vegas to get back into the ATS win column tonight, as it is 31-20-2 ATS at home off back to back SU/ATS losses.  And the Aces are 15-7 ATS vs. the Storm, including 4-0 ATS as an underdog.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Argonauts + the points over Saskatchewan.  The Argos are off to an 0-2 start to the season, while the Roughriders are 2-0.  Toronto's been installed as a home dog tonight, and we'll happily grab the points, as winless home underdogs, with an 0-2 (or worse) record, have cashed 67% the last 20 years.  And the Roughriders are a woeful 7-27 ATS on the road vs. foes off back-to-back losses.  Take Toronto + the points.  Good luck, as always.....Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, our selection is on the Pacers and Thunder to go UNDER the total.  The Pacers find themselves with their backs against the wall tonight.  They lost Game 5 to fall behind 3-games-to-2, and now face elimination.  It's also the very first time in Indiana's four Playoff series that it has even trailed by a single game.  Then, to add to the pressure tonight, its best player, Tyrese Haliburton, is dealing with a calf strain.  Haliburton will play tonight but the conditions are far from ideal.  Teams (like Indiana) off a loss in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, and facing elimination in Game 6 have gone UNDER the total 67% since 1990.  The Pacers are also 10-6 UNDER when facing elimination, while OKC is 5-3 UNDER when attempting to close out a series.  We'll take Game 6 UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Connecticut Sun + the points over Phoenix.  The Sun lost, 88-71, at Indiana last night, as a 17.5-point underdog, while Phoenix won at Las Vegas, 76-70, on Sunday.  We'll take the Sun as a double-digit home dog, as unrested home dogs have gone 26-11-1 ATS vs. rested foes, including 15-3-1 ATS off an ATS win.  Additionally, double-digit dogs off double-digit losses have gone 35-19-1 ATS vs. foes off back to back wins.  We'll grab the points with the Sun.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Anaheim Angels.  The Yankees return home to the Bronx this evening after ending a 6-game road trip on a 3-game losing streak.  The Yankees lost to rival, Boston, by scores of 2-1, 4-3 and 2-0 over the weekend.  We'll take New York to bounce back on this Monday, as it is 26-13 (+10.1 net games) off back to back losses, and 35-16 (+8.4 net games) when priced at home between -150 and -200.  The Angels are a poor team being outscored by 0.88 runs per game this season.  And the Yankees' Clarke Schmidt has been very profitable in his career vs. bad teams outscored by at least 0.5 runs per game (17-5, +8.0 net games, compared to 17-27 (minus 15.1 net games) otherwise).  Take the Yankees.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Oilers over the Florida Panthers.  It's hard to recall a bigger game in their history for the Oilers than Game 4 of this Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday night.  If Edmonton lost, they would trail 3-1 -- a seemingly impossible situation.  And yet it looked like that's exactly what was going to happen at the end of the first period as the Panthers took a 3-0 lead.  And dating back to Florida's overtime winner in Game 2, the Panthers had outscored the Oilers 10 goals to 1.  But the Oilers clawed their way back with 3 goals in the 2nd period, and finally ended it in dramatic fashion in OT with a goal from their star, Leon Draisaitl.  For the second straight game, Edmonton replaced goalie Stuart Skinner with Calvin Pickard but this time the 33-year-old from New Brunswick was outstanding, allowing just one goal with 19 seconds left in the 3rd period, while making 22 saves -- including a couple of critical ones in the overtime period.  There's no doubt the Oilers should go with Pickard from the get-go this evening at home, but skipper Kris Knoblach has not announced a starter as of this writing.  Regardless, we're on the Oilers, as Edmonton is 66-29 (+13.3 net games) as a home favorite, while Florida has burned money as a road underdog (10-15, -2.5 net games).  Take the Oilers.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:15 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Boston Red Sox. If last night's game is any indication, this series is going to be a good one, perhaps hearkening back to Yankee-Red Sox clashes of old. Yankee skipper Aaron Boone didn't get to see the walk-off win by the Sox in the 10th inning from the field as he was ejected after a heated argument with the umps in a game that Boston really needed. Tonight, New York will send Carlos Rodon to the mound for his 15th start of the season. The veteran LHP is having an All-Star-caliber season, with an 8-4 record and 2.87 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in just under 85 innings. After battling injuries for years -- including 2023 in his first campaign with the Yanks -- Rodon is healthy for the second straight season and paying huge dividends. In five career starts here at Fenway Park, Rodon has a very nice 3.72 ERA with 41 strikeouts and 10 walks in 29 innings. And this season he has done his best work on the road with a 4-1 record and 2.61 ERA in six starts away from the Bronx (vs. 4-3 and 3.09 at home). These two pitchers (Rodon and Hunter Dobbins) matched up in the Bronx last week, and Boston won, 11-7.  We'll take New York and Rodon to avenge that defeat. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats + the points over Saskatchewan.  The Ti-Cats have been installed as a home underdog on this Saturday after dropping their season-opening game at Calgary, 38-26.  We'll happily grab the points, as Hamilton is a solid 76-56-5 ATS as an underdog, including 39-21-2 ATS off a point spread loss, while Saskatchewan is a wallet-busting 19-43-1 ATS as an unrested favorite vs. losing teams.  Additionally, in Week 2, CFL underdogs off a double-digit loss have cashed 64% vs. foes off a SU win.  Take Hamilton.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Toronto/Calgary game to go UNDER the total.  The Over/Under in this game has been installed north of 50 points.  And these two teams have gone UNDER the total in 12 of the last 16 meetings when the O/U line was 50+ points.  Last week Calgary blew out Hamilton, 38-26, while Toronto lost to Montreal, 28-10.  Teams off high-scoring wins, in which they tallied 38+ points have gone 57% UNDER over the last 20 years.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Fever + the points over the New York Liberty.  These two teams met earlier this season in a thriller which went down to the wire.  New York escaped with a 90-88 victory as a 4-point road favorite.  We'll take Indiana, as Caitlin Clark will be back in the lineup this afternoon.  The Fever are a solid 14-5 ATS the last two seasons vs. foes off a SU/ATS win, while New York is a nasty 47-89-4 ATS vs. revenge-minded foes.  The Fever were blown out by 19 points by the Dream on Tuesday.  But WNBA teams off a SU/ATS loss are on a 29-10 ATS run vs. foes not off a SU/ATS loss.  Take the Fever.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2:20 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Cubs -1.5 runs over the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Matt Boyd will get the start for Chicago.  He's in terrific form, with just 3 earned runs allowed across his last three starts (19 IP).  In Boyd's career, his teams have gone 23-11 as a favorite with him on the mound, and 25-17 (+9.3 net games) vs. division rivals (including 24-18 (+7.3 net games) on the run-line).  This season, the Cubs are +8.2 net games on the run line as a favorite, while the Buccos are -11.4 net games on the run-line.  And Pittsburgh is an awful 10-23 (-8.1 net games) on the road this season, including 0-5 vs. lefties and 1-7 vs. division foes.  Take Chicago -1.5 runs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.  

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Indiana.  We played on the Pacers in Game 3 and got the $$$ when they upset OKC, 116-107.  That SU/ATS loss now makes OKC 0-8 ATS on the road in this year's Playoffs.  The strange thing is that OKC set the best regular season point spread mark in the NBA since 1990 with a 54-26-3 ATS record.  And they were stellar both at home and on the road (25-13-2 ATS on an opponent's home court; 1-1 ATS on a neutral court in the In-Season Tournament).  So, its 0-8 ATS mark in the Playoffs is a head-scratcher.  We're going to lay the points notwithstanding this 0-8 mark.  The Pacers have been awesome in this Playoffs following a loss (5-0 ATS), and vs. an opponent off a win (9-0 ATS), but they've burned money vs. an opponent off a loss (4-6 ATS, including 1-3 ATS at home).  Finally, the Thunder are 36-15 ATS off a SU loss when playing a .611 (or better) foe, including 8-0 ATS their last eight.  Take OKC.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Sky + the points over the Atlanta Dream.  The Sky come into this game off a 19-point loss to the Liberty, while the Dream won by 19 over Indiana in its last game.  We'll grab the points tonight with Chicago, as double-digit dogs off losses by 15+ points have cashed 61.6% vs. foes off wins by 15+ points.  Additionally, Atlanta is an awful 15-31 ATS as a favorite off a SU win vs. foes off a SU loss.  Take the Sky + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Ottawa Redblacks + the points over Montreal.  The Redblacks lost to Saskatchewan, 31-26, as a 4-point road underdog last week, while Montreal blew out Toronto, 28-10, as a 7-point home favorite.  The Alouettes are favored on the road at Ottawa, and we'll happily grab the points with the home team.  Indeed, home dogs of more than 3 points are 9-0 ATS their last nine off a SU/ATS loss vs. foes off a win by more than 8 points.  Take Ottawa.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Oilers over the Florida Panthers.  Things got ugly on Monday night, both in general and for Edmonton specifically in Game 3.  The Panthers completely overwhelmed their opponent at home and ran away with the game, 6-1.  Brawls erupted in the third period as the Oilers became completely frustrated with Florida's superior play and forechecking.  With the smoke now cleared, Edmonton has a lot of soul searching to do.  It appears that the Oilers will stick with Stuart Skinner to start Game 4 tonight, but Kris Knoblauch has said he won't make a final decision until later in the day.  Skinner has been running hot and cold and he often follows up horrible performances like Game 3 with very solid play.  The other good news for Edmonton is that it has not lost three games in a row since a regular-season skid that started February 7, and the stakes are significantly higher now in this Stanley Cup Final.  The Oilers are 34-16 (+11.2 net games) off back to back losses.  And they're 10-0 in Game 4 of a Playoff series since 2023.  Take Edmonton.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on Game 3 between Indiana and Oklahoma City to go UNDER the total.  The Oddsmakers have installed a relatively-high over/under line for this series so far.  Game 2 squeaked over the total of 228 when OKC won, 123-107.  We'll look for a lower-scoring game tonight, as NBA teams have gone 23-6 UNDER the total in games with O/U lines north of 223, following a Playoff defeat in which they gave up 122+ points.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers + the points over Oklahoma City.  We played on OKC and its two home games to start this series, but will switch gears and grab the points with the Pacers at home tonight.  When you look at how the Thunder are performing on the road in the Playoffs, compared to its home games, there is a stark difference.  At home, the Thunder are 8-3 ATS and have covered the point spread by an average of 11.31 ppg.  But on the road, it is a horrid 0-7 ATS and has failed to cover the point spread by an average of 13.64 ppg.  The Pacers, meanwhile, are 5-3 ATS at home in the Playoffs, and have covered by an average of 3.68 ppg.  Even better:  Indiana is a dominant 12-0 ATS in the Playoffs when playing with revenge from a Playoff defeat by more than 12 points.  With Indy off a 123-107 loss in Game 2, we'll grab the points with Indy tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Sky + the points over New York.  These two teams met last month, and the Liberty blew out the Sky, 99-74, as an 11.5-point road favorite.  This game will be played in the Big Apple, and we will grab the points with the revenge-minded Sky.  Chicago did lose by 27 points to the Fever on Saturday.  But the good news is that the Liberty are a horrid 0-20 ATS when favored by 5+ at home vs. a revenge-minded foe off a loss.  We'll grab the points with the Sky.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Indiana.  The Thunder have been dominant at home this season -- both in the regular season and the playoffs.  OKC was 35-6 SU and 28-12-1 ATS at home in the regular season, and is 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS at home in the Playoffs (43-8 SU and 35-15-1 ATS combined).  Unfortunately, the Thunder blew a 15-point, 4th quarter lead and lost Game 1, 111-110.  We'll take the Thunder to rebound tonight, as they're 12-0 ATS their last 12 (and 40-15-3 ATS their last 58) when playing a .611 (or better) foe, if the Thunder were not off a SU/ATS win.  Even better:  NBA teams off upset losses have gone 31-22-2 ATS in the NBA Finals.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Oilers over the Florida Panthers. If Game 1 is any indication, this is going to be one heck of a Stanley Cup Finals. Edmonton took the early lead on a first period goal from Leon Draisaitl, only to have Florida tally the next three goals to take what looked like a pretty safe lead two minutes into the second period. But then the Oilers got one more in the 2nd and the only goal in the 3rd to force overtime and they ended it the way they started it -- with a goal from Draisaitl with just 31 seconds to go in the extra stanza. The score may have been close, but the Oilers out-shot the Panthers by a lopsided 46-32 margin.  The Oilers were my preseason pick (at +850 odds) to win the Stanley Cup, and I have no reason to doubt them now.  Edmonton has its two-headed monster of Draisaitl and Connor McDavid and those two seem to get stronger with each playoff game. The Oilers are 24-7 this season coming off a home win, and they're 8-3 when leading in a playoff series. Meanwhile, the Panthers are a poor 10-15 (minus 2.5 net games) as a road underdog.  Take Edmonton. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Tigers over the Chicago Cubs.  Tarik Skubal -- last year's Cy Young Award winner -- will match up against Ben Brown on this Friday night.  Skubal is having another great campaign, and especially here at Tigers Stadium, where he is 4-0 (in 6 starts) with a 1.83 ERA and a 0.71 WHIP.  Brown, meanwhile, has struggled on the road, where his ERA is 5.88 in five starts.  This will be a tough match-up for the Cubs against the American League's best southpaw, as Chicago is a wallet-busting 23-27 (minus 9.9 net games) vs. lefties.  The Tigers have excelled at home this season, with a 21-8 record, including 4-0 their last four.  We'll back Skubal and the Tigers tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Indiana.  The Thunder set the record this season (at least since 1990, the year my database goes back to) for best point spread percentage.  Including the in-season tournament, OKC went 54-26-3 ATS in the regular season (67% ATS).  It's true that the Thunder are just 7-9 ATS in the post-season.  But that includes an 0-7 ATS mark on the road in the playoffs; at home OKC has been terrific, going 7-2 ATS.  And at home in the regular + post-season combined, the Thunder are 35-14-1 ATS this season, including 13-1-1 ATS vs. Eastern Conference foes.  (Dating back to 2022, OKC is 32-11-2 ATS at home vs. the Eastern Conference.)  I won't fade these numbers.  Lay the points with the Thunder.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the UNDER in Game 1 between Oklahoma City and Indiana.  The Thunder come into this game off back to back high-scoring wins to eliminate the Timberwolves:  128-126 and 124-94.  Off those two offensive outputs, we'll look for a relatively low-scoring game on Thursday.  Indeed, NBA teams have gone UNDER 65.6% since 1990 following back to back games where they tallied 124+ points.  OKC has gone 21-14 UNDER its last 35 home playoff games.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Washington Mystics + the points over the New York Liberty.  These two teams met a week ago here, in the nation's capital, and the Liberty won by 22, 85-63, as a 9-point road favorite.  For this rematch, the oddsmakers have significantly raised the price on the Liberty, who are now a big double-digit road favorite.  We'll take Washington, as the Liberty are a lousy 46-88 ATS when playing a revenge-minded foe, including 0-10 ATS if they won the previous meeting by a margin ranging from 19 to 29 points.  And the Mystics are 9-1-1 ATS as a double-digit home underdog.  Grab the points with Washington.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees -1.5 runs over the Cleveland Guardians.  Max Fried will get the start for the Pinstripes this evening as he looks to continue a sensational start to 2025.  Fried is 7-1 with a 1.92 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 12 outings.  This is a favorable match-up for Fried, as Cleveland is 3-9 vs. lefties this season (and 4-8 vs. lefties on the run-line).  And the Guardians are a dreadful 3-10 on the run-line with Slade Cecconi in his nighttime starts, while Fried's teams are 73-50 (+23.2 net games) on the run-line in his nighttime starts.  The Yankees have outscored their opponents in Fried's six home starts this season by an aggregate of 50-18.  Take New York -1.5 runs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the San Diego Padres.  We played on the Giants last night, and lost an extra innings affair, 1-0.  The Giants' starter, Logan Webb, tossed 8 innings of shut out ball, but got no run support, and the home team fell in 10 innings.  We'll come right back with San Francisco tonight with Landon Roupp on the mound vs. Ryan Bergert.  Roupp has given up just one earned run over his last three starts, across 16 innings.  And when he last faced the Padres at home in San Francisco (Sept 15, 2024), he gave up 0 runs in 5 innings.  The Giants are 17-9 (+6 net games) off a loss this season, including 5-1 off a shutout loss.  And they're 27-15 vs. righties (+10.5 net games), including 15-4 at home.  The Padres, meanwhile, are 9-10 on the road vs. righties, and 7-8 (minus 2.4 net games) on the road off a win.  Take the Giants.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the San Diego Padres. Since 2021, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more consistent MLB starter than Logan Webb. In the last 4+ seasons, the Giants veteran RH has averaged over 30 starts (the only season he didn't have at least 30 was 2021 when he was added to the rotation full-time), and he's amassed a combined 55-40 record with a 3.14 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. That's why, when Webb drops two straight decisions, we are quite surprised. But we also know that it's likely only a blip and that Webb will shake it off as he always does and go back to being, well, Logan Webb. So far in 2025, Webb is tied for the lead in the National League with 12 starts and has won five games with a 2.82 ERA, with 84 strikeouts and 17 walks in 73 1/3 innings. Start number 13 will come tonight against a very good Padres club, but Webb should be up to the task. In 15 previous outings vs. San Diego, Webb has a solid 3.26 ERA. Meanwhile, the Padres' Stephen Kolek's career ERA vs. the Giants is 6.00 in four appearances. The Giants are 47-28 (+7.9 net games) with Webb at home. Take San Francisco. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Sparks minus the points over the Phoenix Mercury.  These two teams met in the Valley of the Sun on May 21, and the Mercury defeated the Sparks, 89-86, as a 4-point home favorite.  Still, the Sparks covered the spread, and they're now 23-16-1 ATS vs. Phoenix, including 9-2 ATS as a home favorite.  That bodes well for the Sparks.  As does the fact that they fall into a 193-125-2 ATS revenge system of mine.  Lay the points with Los Angeles.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Connecticut Sun + the points over the New York Liberty.  The Sun upset the Fever as a 10.5-point underdog, 85-83, on Friday.  Off that big win, we'll ride the momentum and grab the points with the Sun on Sunday.  Indeed, WNBA teams have cashed 58.2% as underdogs off upset wins as a double-digit dog in their previous game.  Take Connecticut.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Under in Game 6 between Indiana and New York.  Game 5 was won by New York, 111-94, and went under the total of 222.5 by 17.5 points.  The Pacers have now gone 27-17 Under the total when attempting to close out a playoff series, while the Knicks are 52-36-5 Under as a road underdog in the Playoffs.  Additionally, Game 6s in the Conference Finals, with O/U lines north of 206, have gone Under 61%.  We'll look for another low-scoring game on Saturday.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Washington Mystics + the points over New York.  We played against the Liberty last night, and got the $$$ with the Valkyries.  And we will once again fade New York tonight, on the road, playing without rest.  Indeed, WNBA teams have cashed just 35.2% on the road off 3+ wins, if they were playing without rest.  Even better:  Washington is 9-2 ATS its last 11 vs. New York, and 15-4-1 ATS its last 20 as a home dog of 8+ points.  Take the Mystics.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over the Indiana Pacers.  The Knicks enter Game 5 down 3-games-to-1 after dropping Game 4, 130-121.  We'll lay the points with New York, as home teams down 3-games-to-1 have cashed 62% in Game 5 of a 7-game series after losing Game 4 on the road.  Additionally, New York is 37-18 ATS as a revenge-minded single-digit favorite, while Indiana is 1-8 ATS when up 2 games in a playoff series.  Lay the points with New York.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.  

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Valkyries + the points over New York.  These two teams met on Tuesday, and the Liberty blew out the Valkyries, 95-67, as an 18-point home favorite.  This game is also being played in the Big Apple, and we'll take the revenge-minded double-digit underdog.  Over the last 14 regular seasons, underdogs of 14+ points have cashed 78.6% when playing the same opponent they lost to in their previous game.  Even better:  revenge-minded road underdogs of 5 (or more) points, off a straight-up loss, have gone 19-0 ATS their last 19 games at New York.  We'll grab the points with the Valkyries.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the UNDER in Game 4 between New York and Indiana.  We played on the Knicks in Game 3, and they rewarded us with a 106-100 upset win.  That game stayed under the total of 223.5 by 17.5 points.  The oddsmakers have moved this number south of 223.5, but it's not enough of an adjustment.  The Knicks are 19-11-2 Under on the road in the playoffs, while the Pacers are 11-3 Under in the Playoffs following an upset loss.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the Golden State Valkyries + the points over the New York Liberty.  The Valkyries come into this game off an upset win as a 10.5-point road dog last Friday at Los Angeles.  We'll take Golden State + the double-digits on Tuesday, as underdogs of more than 8 points have cashed 61.4% since 2006 off a SU win, if they were well-rested with at least 3 days off.  Even better:  WNBA underdogs off an upset win as a double-digit dog have cashed 62% in the regular season.  Grab the points with Golden State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Cleveland Guardians. After winning the first game of the big weekend series in New York on Friday, the Dodgers proceeded to drop the next two to the Mets, scoring just three total runs in the process. Now they travel to Cleveland for the first time since 2023 for this Memorial Day match-up with the Guardians. It's obviously early in the season still, but if you had to name a top pitcher in the NL for 2025, you would likely say it's the Dodgers' Yoshi Yamamoto. The 26-year-old RH from Japan hasn't missed a start and he leads all starters with a 1.86 ERA and a 5.4 hit rate. Yamamoto has also punched out 68 batters in 58 innings. And although he plays in one of the best pitcher's parks in the league in Dodger Stadium, Yamamoto has done just as well on the road as he has at home with exactly the same amount of innings (29). The Dodgers are 4-1 in the last five meetings with the Guardians going back to August of 2023. Take Los Angeles. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks plus the points over Indiana.  The Knicks are in a virtual-must-win situation tonight.  Down 2-games-to-none, they can't afford to go down by 3 games, as no NBA team (in 159 series) has ever climbed out of a 3-0 hole.  We'll take New York, as it's an awesome 71-28 ATS on the road off an upset loss, when matched up against a .500 (or better) foe.  Meanwhile, the Pacers are 1-7 ATS when up exactly two games in a playoff series.  And favorites off upset wins have cashed just 42% in the semifinals since 1990.  Take New York.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over Oklahoma City.  The Thunder have had a home/road dichotomy in this year's playoffs.  At home, OKC has gone 4-2 ATS, but on the road it's a woeful 0-5 ATS.  Tonight, they're favored at Minnesota.  And we'll happily grab the points, as Minny is 28-7 ATS as a home dog vs. a .581 (or better) division rival.  It's true that OKC won two blowouts at home vs. the Wolves.  Unfortunately, OKC is 1-12 ATS in the Playoffs from the 2nd round forward off back to back wins, if it defeated its opponent by double-digits in the previous game.  And .720 (or better) NBA teams have covered just 2 of 15 in the playoffs after back to back ATS wins to start a series.  Take Minnesota.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Fever + the points over New York.  Dating back to last season, Caitlin Clark & Co. are 19-12-1 ATS their last 32.  We'll grab the points with the Fever this afternoon, and go against the Liberty, who won 99-74 over Chicago on Thursday.  Unfortunately for New York, WNBA teams off wins by 20+ points have covered just 37% vs. .555 (or better) foes.  Take Indiana.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over Indiana.  The Pacers stormed back in the final 3 minutes from a 14-point deficit to stun the Knicks, 138-135, as a 4.5-point road underdog at Madison Square Garden.  And that triumph was Indy's 3rd straight upset win in these Playoffs.  We'll fade the Pacers in Game 2, as underdogs have cashed just 37% since 1990 in the Playoffs when they were off 3+ upset wins.  Even better:  New York is a solid 37-17 ATS as a revenge-minded, single-digit favorite.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over Oklahoma City.  The Thunder trounced the T-Wolves, 114-88, on Tuesday to take a 1-0 lead in this semi-final series.  We'll take Minnesota, as Western Conference teams are 34-18-2 ATS when down 1-0 in a series.  Additionally, OKC is a dreadful 15-46 ATS off back-to-back wins, if it was playing a .500 (or better) revenge-minded foe off a loss which it defeated by 10+ points in the season's prior meeting.  And Minnesota is a super 33-15-2- ATS as an underdog (or PK) when playing with revenge.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Sky + the points over the New York Liberty.  The Liberty are the defending WNBA Champs, and opened the season with a big win over the previous champion, Las Vegas.  We'll fade New York tonight, as it is an awful 16-37 when laying more than 9 points, including 9-27 ATS off a win.  And the Sky are 30-22 ATS when catching more than 9 points, including 6-1 ATS at home.  Take Chicago.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Fever minus the points over Atlanta.  This is the 2nd of back to back games between these teams.  The Dream pulled off an upset on Tuesday, as a 7-point road underdog, 91-90.  We'll take the Fever in this revenge match, as Atlanta is a wallet-busting 77-101 ATS when playing a revenge-minded foe.  Additionally, Indiana falls into a 63% ATS revenge system of mine.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Hurricanes over the Florida Panthers.  The Hurricanes made short work of the #1-seeded team in the East beating Washington in five games.  They out-scored the Caps by a lopsided total of 15-7 and out-shot them in all five of those games, finishing the series five days ago in DC.  But while the 'Canes are well-rested for this Conference Finals, the Panthers are anything but, needing seven grueling games to get past the stubborn Maple Leafs.  Yes, they finished things impressively, beating the Leafs in Toronto in Games 5 and 7 by identical 6-1 routs, but they were still taken to the brink and have only had Monday off to recover.  And Carolina should offer a much stiffer challenge than Toronto did, as evidenced by the 'Canes' suffocating attack throughout the series with Washington -- a very good team in its own right.  The 'Canes won the last meeting of these two in January and Florida is 5-9 in its last 14 revenging a same season loss on the road while Carolina is 8-0 in its last eight home games after a three-game win streak.  Take the 'Canes.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
