04-27-18 | Reds v. Twins -104 | Top | 15-9 | Loss | -104 | 21 h 34 m | Show |
Minnesota Twins -104 The Twins are at too generous of a price here on Friday night. Minnesota was swept away in New York and are in a prime bounce back spot. Minnesota was on the end of some bad luck and are a much better team than what they are showing right now. The good news for them is they take on a Reds team that just doesn't have much. Cincinnati enters play just 5-19 on the season and have one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball thus far. Allowing nearly 5.5 runs per game, the Reds have seen that number increase when playing on the road. Some trends to note. Reds are 15-36 in their last 51 games on grass. Reds are 21-51 in their last 72 road games. With just a 2-11 road record here, fading Cincinnati is the move. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 10* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-27-18 | A's v. Astros UNDER 8 | 8-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
A's vs. Astros Under 8 Sean Manaea threw a no hitter against arguably the best offense in baseball (Boston) in his last start. Some will say Manaea broke out in that game. That is only partially true. Manaea has proven he is very good long before that start. Manaea has great swing and miss stuff with his changeup being a dominant pitch. The Astros haven't been very consistent on offense this year, and they have poor career numbers against Manaea. Dallas Keuchel has been a bit down this year, but his long term numbers are night and day better at home than on the road. He has a career 2.93 ERA at home, but a 4.37 ERA on the road. Look for him to continue to be a tough guy to get to in Houston. The Astros bullpen is tremendous and they are well rested for this one. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-27-18 | Raptors v. Wizards -1.5 | 102-92 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Washington Wizards -2 This has been a home team type of series, and I don't see that changing here. Toronto is a slightly better team than Washington, but the Raptors are far from reliable in the playoffs. Washington plays with tons of confidence at home. Washington also matches up well with Toronto. The Wizards speed in the backcourt neutralizes some of Toronto's ability to get into the paint. John Wall's ability to push the tempo and get run out easy looks has bothered the Toronto defense a lot in this series. It should continue in this one. The Raptors are likely to win this series in the end, but I think it goes to a game seven. Washington was underseeded thanks to John Wall's injury, and the oddsmakers have undervalued them a bit in this series. Remember, Washington led midway through the fourth quarter in game five in Toronto despite shooting the ball terribly. The Wizards get it done at home. Back Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-26-18 | White Sox +147 v. Royals | 6-3 | Win | 147 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
Chicago White Sox +147 The Chicago White Sox aren't a good team, but they don't need to be for me to want to take them at this kind of price against Kansas City. The Royals are one of the two or three worst teams in baseball. Why should Kansas City be laying a big price here? Jake Junis has pitched well this year, but his batting average on balls in play suggests he is overvalued right now. Hitters aren't going to hit them right at his fielders all year long. The White Sox do have some decent bats in the middle of the order, and I expect Moncada to heat up as the year goes along as well. Giolito pitched terribly in his last game, but he's still a high potential type of guy. He's up against one of the worst lineups in baseball. The Royals are particularly bad against right handed pitching. Back the White Sox. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-26-18 | Penguins v. Capitals -120 | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
Washington -120 The Capitals at this small of juice here to open up the series on Thursday has tremendous value. The Capitals rattled off 4 straight against the Blue Jackets and now carry tons of momentum into this one against Pittsburgh. The Penguins have been a team they have struggled to figure out in the postseason, but this year they come in with much better momentum and confidence. They know this is a big revenge spot for them here in this series, which will certainly bring out some top play from everyone. They matchup well here too. Washington has proven to be a deep team that offers many weapons on every line. Look for them to really be aggressive here in Game 1, trying to set the tone. Some trends to note. Capitals are 4-0 in their last 4 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game. Capitals are 16-5 in their last 21 overall. Lay the small juice here. Back Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||
04-25-18 | Maple Leafs v. Bruins UNDER 5.5 | 4-7 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 19 m | Show | |
Toronto vs. Boston Under 5.5 The Maple Leafs and Bruins battle in Game 7 on Wednesday night and this one is a nice spot on the Under here. This is going to be a game where both teams play things very tightly. We've seen in the past during Game 7s where both teams are very tentative, as neither one wants to make that first crucial mistake to cost them. Expect both the Bruins and Maple Leafs to play a lot of possession early on, looking to control the puck in the opposing zone and not allow anything easy on the counter the other way. Some trends to note. Under is 20-9-4 in Bruins last 33 vs. Atlantic. Under is 4-0-1 in Maple Leafs last 5 games following a win. With this kind of situation here on Wednesday, this one should see limited scoring chances. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
04-25-18 | Cubs v. Indians -116 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
Cleveland Indians -116 It's a prime bounce back spot for the Indians here on Wednesday night against the Cubs. Cleveland was knocked around by the Cubs on Tuesday night, a game where they got back into Cleveland at 3:00am thanks to a long road trip and plane issues. Here, they send out Trevor Bauer, who has pitched exceptionally well this season. Coming in off a QS, Bauer and the top 3 in the Indians rotation have been the backbone to this team early on. The indians are giving up just 3 runs per home game on the average this season, one of the best marks in the MLB. Some trends to note. Indians are 4-1 in their last 5 interleague home games vs. a left-handed starter. Indians are 46-15 in their last 61 games on grass. At this kind of price, Cleveland is going to come back out with a vengeance here. Look for Bauer to work deep into this one as Cleveland gets to Lester early. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-25-18 | Wizards v. Raptors -7 | 98-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Toronto Raptors -7 Washington bounced back to even the series at home, but this Wizards team can't be trusted. Washington has some major team chemistry problems and that generally catches up to you in a big way in the playoffs. Toronto played extremely well at home during the season, and while I don't think the Raptors are a team that can win the NBA Championship, they are much better than they have been in past seasons. This is a great bounce back spot for them to prove they aren't the same team from the past few years. Washington's Brad Beal has been checked out for most of this series. The Wizards defense has been terrible. The Raptors simply need to take better care of the basketball and they should win with ease here. Expect them to do it. The oddsmakers are now a little too low on the most consistent team in the Eastern Conference. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-24-18 | Heat v. 76ers UNDER 211.5 | 91-104 | Win | 100 | 17 h 37 m | Show | |
Heat vs. 76ers Under 211.5 The Miami Heat haven't found any success playing at the Philadelphia 76ers tempo in the last few games. I expect them to do their best to try to slow the game down here. Miami isn't built to be playing in 111-109 type games. They are designed to win with defense and winning the turnover battle. The 76ers defense is one of the best in the NBA. Even though they play very fast, the 76ers have been good at holding opponents to low numbers throughout the year because of their intensity on the defensive end. Their defensive numbers are especially good at home. Miami should slow down a bit more and get a lot better on defense with Hassan Whiteside playing more minutes. Whiteside was one of the bright spots for the team this past weekend, and he is likely to get quite a few minutes in Game 5 as well. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
04-24-18 | Cubs v. Indians OVER 9.5 | 10-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 37 m | Show | |
Chicago vs. Cleveland Over 9.5 The Cubs and Indians meet in a rematch of the 2016 World Series and the Over here has value to work with. Tyler Chatwood gets the ball for the Cubs and enters play with an 0-3 record thus far. Chatwood has not been able to figure things out just yet, entering Tuesday with a near 5 ERA. He'll be countered by Josh Tomlin, who is in a very similar situation. With some of the rainouts Cleveland has endured, the Indians have been able to skip around Tomlin. The RH comes in with an 8 ERA as he hasn't been able to gain any sort of stability just yet. Some trends to note. Over is 7-3-2 in Tomlins last 12 interleague starts. Over is 4-1-1 in Cubs last 6 on grass. Expect plenty of baserunners here in this one, resulting in a lot of run scoring opportunities. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play | |||||||
04-23-18 | Thunder v. Jazz UNDER 209.5 | 96-113 | Win | 100 | 14 h 35 m | Show | |
Thunder vs. Jazz Under 209 The Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City have both performed better than their regular season averages on offense and worse on defense than their regular season averages in this series. Oklahoma City is looking to speed up the game when they can, but Utah is great at controlling the pace and making everyone play a halfcourt type game. Utah is good in general at slowing the pace down, but they are great when it comes to slowing things down when playing at home. There have been a ton of offensive rebounds for both teams in this series. That has led to a lot of the higher scoring games. Both coaches talked about making defensive rebounding a point of emphasis after the last game between these two. The defensive rebounding should improve. We have a number that is a little too high because of the high scoring games in this series so far. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
04-23-18 | Padres +1.5 v. Rockies | 13-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
San Diego Padres +1.5 The Padres here aree worth a nice move grabbing the RL. This is quite the generous price on the RL, especially given what a struggle the Rockies pitching has been as of late. Colorado comes into this one losers in three of their last four games as they have allowed a combined 35 runs in the losses. This pitching staff has continued to allow the big inning, as free passes and the long ball have really hurt this team. Expect San Diego to really be patient here offensively, as the Rockies have just been shooting themselves in the foot. Some trends to note. Rockies are 2-5 in their last 7 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game. Rockies are 3-8 in their last 11 home games. Grab the value here on the RL. Back San Diego RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* MLB RL Play | |||||||
04-22-18 | Cavs +1 v. Pacers | 104-100 | Win | 100 | 18 h 35 m | Show | |
Cleveland +1 Give the Indiana Pacers credit for how they have played in the series thus far. Indiana has played quality team basketball and they deserve to have the 2-1 series lead. I think they'll get a tougher game out of the Cleveland Cavs in this one though. LeBron James is still the best player on the planet, and it isn't very close. James knows his team really needs to win this game to avoid being an ugly 3-1 deficit against a team with much less talent. James is very likely to put up one of his massive efforts in this game. The supporting cast of the Cavs team isn't very good, but they are unlikely to keep missing shots at the rate they have missed them at so far in this series. Expect someone like a Jordan Clarkson, JR Smith, or Rodney Hood to start knocking some shots down here. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-22-18 | Giants v. Angels OVER 8.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -124 | 14 h 58 m | Show | |
San Francisco vs. Los Angeles Over The Giants and Angels battle on Sunday and this Over here has value. This one falls a lot on the Giants offense here, who will be taking on Jamie Barria, who will be making his debut. Replacing Ohtani, this Angels will call up Barria and put him in a bad spot here against a Giants lineup that is deep and filled with talent. On the flip side, Los Angeles has the offense who has been putting up big numbers. The Angels have found success with the bottom of the order setting the table for the big bats in the middle. This one should see both teams get a lot of chances. Expect plenty of traffic on the base paths. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play | |||||||
04-22-18 | Penguins v. Flyers OVER 6 | 8-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 1 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh Penguins vs, Philadelphia Flyers Over The Flyers managed to send the series back back home, something not too many people expected here. Now they’ll look to force a Game 7, as this one should be wide open. The Penguins are going to be on the attack right from the start here. Failing to close out at home was not what something they envisioned here. This should be a case where they come out firing and really look to attack early. The Flyers will certainly have their same aggression as well. Philadelphia continued to put shots on net in Game 5, which resulted in a lot of good things happening for them. Expect a very similar strategy here on Sunday. This is a spot where both teams will be attack minded and the pace will be extremely high. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
04-21-18 | Mets -135 v. Braves | 3-4 | Loss | -135 | 27 h 50 m | Show | |
New York Mets ML The Mets lay a nice price here on Saturday in Atlanta. deGrom comes into play here 2-0 on the season as he’s continued to be extremely consistent for the front of the rotation. Mickey Calloway coming over has certainly helped him here in the early going as well. The Mets rotation as a whole has vastly improved since his arrival and its only going to get stronger. He’ll counter Julio Teheran, who has not been notorious for pitching at home. He has been a huge struggle, allowing a lot of base runners and ultimately not making it late into games. This price is too low here. The Mets offense is far more dangerous than Atlanta’s and this matchup on the pitching side just doesn’t suit the Braves well. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-21-18 | Blue Jackets v. Capitals OVER 5.5 | 3-4 | Win | 110 | 23 h 48 m | Show | |
Columbus vs. Washington Over 5.5 The Blue Jackets and Capitals are all evened up in a series where home ice has not proved to be a plus. Here in Game 5, we should see a lot of open play. Both these teams played tightly in Columbus, which was not the case in Game 1 or Game 2 when these teams battled in Washington. Both games were wide open and featured both teams crashing the net. Expect that to be the same case here as grabbing the early edge is crucial. Expect both Washington and Columbus to get out and pepper the opposing net with shots. With plus money on this one, it’s certainly worth the move. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
04-20-18 | Celtics +6 v. Bucks | 92-116 | Loss | -113 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
Boston Celtics +6 The Boston Celtics have a massive coaching advantage in this series. Brad Stevens is a top five coach in the NBA (and that is probably understating it). Milwaukee's Joe Prunty is overmatched in a big way. In the NBA playoffs, coaching advantages are magnified. Teams need to make adjustments since they are playing the same opponent so many times in a short period. Poor coaches are usually unable to make the necessary changes. Prunty seems to fit that mold. The Celtics defense finished first in the NBA in defensive efficiency. They are short handed when it comes to scoring help now, but the Celtics can still play some very good defense. Catching this many points with a team with a great defense and a great coach is very rare in the NBA. Milwaukee has more talent, but talent isn't everything and this is too many points. Back Boston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-20-18 | Mariners v. Rangers -105 | 6-2 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 22 m | Show | |
Texas Rangers -105 The Rangers and Mariners battle on Friday night and the home side here has the value. It might be time to start fading the King. Felix Hernandez comes into this one with a 5.48 ERA this season and he just hasn't looked as sharp. His injuries over the past few seasons, combined with a lot of his secondary pitches just not being sharp have resulted in him getting knocked around. He matches up with Mike Minor, who has been dominant against Seattle. Minor owns just a 1.64 ERA against Seattle in his career and takes on a lineup that has been very inconsistent thus far. Some trends to note. Rangers are 11-3 in their last 14 games following an off day. This is a nice spot to grab the home side at PK price. Back Texas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-20-18 | Flyers v. Penguins OVER 6 | 4-2 | Push | 0 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
Philadelphia vs. Pittsburgh Over 6 The Flyers and Penguins series has been nothing but blowouts. Here with the Penguins likely clinching tonight, this one should be a wide open game. Both the Penguins and Flyers play a very similar style. They both push the issue and attack the net with a lot of aggression. Here, the Flyers are in desperation mode and are going to really be trying to get out early. With that, they'll be on the attack all game long, while the Penguins will have their share of counter attacks. Some trends to note. Over is 6-1-2 in the last 9 meetings. Over is 37-18-4 in the last 59 meetings in Pittsburgh. This is a nice spot both ways here. Look for both of these teams to attack and have plenty of chances on net. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
04-20-18 | Twins v. Rays -122 | 7-8 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay Rays ML Tampa Bay isn't a good team this year, but when they have Chris Archer on the mound they will still be a formidable opponent. Archer has elite stuff and he has been at his best when pitching in Tampa Bay. Minnesota isn't a bad team, but they have a subpar starter going in Lance Lynn. Lynn has always struggled on the road in his NBA career. I don't see any reason to expect that to change moving forward. The Twins are coming off that strange scheduling spot in Puerto Rico against the Indians as well. This is far from an ideal spot for them as they get back to the United States after playing a very long extra innings game in their last game in Puerto Rico. Look for Archer to dominate here and the Rays offense to do enough to get the job done. Back Tampa Bay. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-19-18 | Warriors v. Spurs +4.5 | 110-97 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
San Antonio Spurs +4.5 The Spurs have dropped the first two games in this series by big margins, but Game 2 showed they can at least keep up with the Warriors. San Antonio took a lead into halftime and had their chances, but coming out flat in the 3rd quarter never works against this Warriors team. With the series shifting to San Antonio, the Spurs can utilize their solid play at home to boost the energy a little bit. They're essentially playing with house money at this point, down 2-0 to the best team in the NBA. This is a spot where they can be extremely aggressive and try to catch the Warriors off their game here. Some trends to note. Spurs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Spurs are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. Covering 9 of their last 10 home games, this is a nice spot on the Spurs. Back San Antonio. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-19-18 | Capitals v. Blue Jackets UNDER 5.5 | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Washington vs. Columbus Under 5.5 +100 The Caps and Blue Jackets play in a crucial Game 4, as the series sits at 2-1 right now in favor of Columbus. This is a spot here where we can expect a very tight game all around. Given the importance of this swing game here, both teams are going to be very conservative in this one. Expect very tentative play here in the early going, as possession will be a huge key. Along with that, we saw both Holtby and Bobrovsky really put the clamps down in Game 3. These two goalies have gone back to their mid season forms and have looked sharp in every way. Some trends to note. Under is 4-1-1 in Capitals last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. Under is 4-1 in Blue Jackets last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. This Under makes sense. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
04-19-18 | Orioles v. Tigers OVER 9 | 8-13 | Win | 100 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
Orioles vs. Tigers Over 9 The Baltimore Orioles start Alex Cobb in this one. The Detroit Tigers start Jordan Zimmermann. To say that there are a lot of questions about both of these starters is a big understatement. Alex Cobb has made one start this year. He got a late start based on signing late and being injured. He didn't have a normal spring training, and was extremely rusty in his first start. I think he'll still have rust in this one, and this Detroit offense is better than they have shown so far this season. Jordan Zimmermann has been a terrible signing for the Tigers. He was very solid for the Nationals a few years ago, but since coming to Detroit he has been crushed on a consistent basis. The wind is blowing out in a big way for this afternoon game. Look for a lot of offense from both sides. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play | |||||||
04-18-18 | Jazz v. Thunder -4.5 | 102-95 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City -4.5 The Thunder handled the Jazz in Game 1 and will look to hold onto homecourt here Wednesday night. This team was built for this year and really this year only this past offseason. The time is now for them and after just sneaking into the playoffs, the veterans seem to be stepping up in a huge way. It was Paul George who carried the load in Game 1, as he did just about everything. With the scorers this Thunder team has, it's going to be near impossible for the Jazz to slow them down and even keep up for that matter. Utah is one of the slowest offenses in the NBA when it comes to scoring. They like to work the ball around and really utilize the shot clock. Getting into track meets with teams is a recipe for disaster for them and this is one matchup that will tend to happen in. Lay the points here. Oklahoma City is just the overall deeper team and will once again utilize their pace to get Utah off balanced. Back Oklahoma City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-18-18 | Indians -119 v. Twins | 1-2 | Loss | -119 | 19 h 5 m | Show | |
Cleveland Indians -119 The Indians and Twins conclude their short 2 game stint in Puerto Rico and the Indians have value at this kind of price. Cleveland handled the Twins with ease on Tuesday night en route to a 6-1 win. Now, they send out Carlos Carrasco here on Wednesday, who has really found his form. Carrasco handled the Tigers with no issues last time out and he comes in here with a perfect 3-0 record. Along with that, he has dominated the Twins. Carrasco and the Indians have won 4 of his last 5 starts overall against Minnesota, as he has continued to pitch deep into the games against them. Some trends to note. Indians are 9-2 in Carrascos last 11 starts after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. Indians are 22-5 in Carrascos last 27 starts vs. American League Central. The RH has dominated the Central. Lay the small juice. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-18-18 | Reds +134 v. Brewers | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 44 m | Show | |
Cincinnati Reds +134 The Cincinnati Reds are tough to back right now, but the price is right here. Tyler Mahle is a youngster with a lot of promise. Mahle has multiple quality pitches, and he has shown an ability to work through trouble both in the minors and the big leagues already. Zach Davies starts for the Brewers here, and he isn't worthy of laying this kind of price against anyone until he cleans up his act. He has been getting behind batters on a consistent basis. The Brewers offense has also been very inconsistent and they miss Yelich and Pina from their lineup. The Reds aren't a good team, but they aren't as bad as their record. Cincinnati should show value in some spots in the next few weeks. I think this is one of them with an underrated youngster going against a banged up team. Back Cincinnati. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-17-18 | Red Sox +154 v. Angels | 10-1 | Win | 154 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
Boston Red Sox ML Ohtani has been tremendous so far this year. I think he has a bright future ahead of him. The Angels are clearly a much improved team as well. Still, when I see the Boston Red Sox as an underdog of this kind of level I have to fire on them. David Price is still an excellent starting pitcher. The Angels have been able to feast on poor pitching through much of the early going so far this year. They won't get to do that in this one. The Angels bullpen is mediocre or worse. The Red Sox bullpen is a major strength. That's a big advantage for Boston. The hype train for Ohtani has gotten so huge that at this point you have to try to sell high. The Red Sox offense is top five in the majors, and this is a huge test for him. Grab the underdog. Back Boston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-17-18 | Capitals v. Blue Jackets OVER 5.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 40 m | Show | |
Washington vs. Columbus Over 5.5 The Capitals and Blue Jackets have played to the most entertaining series thus far in the Playoffs. The Blue Jackets come up home up 2-0 after a pair of overtime wins in games that were certainly high scoring. Games 1 and 2 featured plenty of back and forth action all night long as both teams were on the attack. You get plenty of players on each line from both sides that can put the puck in the back of the net and really cause a lot of havoc with their speed. This game figures to be the same style as it shifts back to Columbus, as both teams will look to utilize their high energy again here. Some trends to note. Over is 9-2-1 in the last 12 meetings in Columbus. Over is 16-6-4 in the last 26 meetings. This simply has been an Over matchup between these two teams. Ride the trend here as this game is going to be wide open. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
04-17-18 | Nationals -113 v. Mets | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
Washington Nationals -113 The Nats laying this small of juice here on Tuesday has a lot of value. The Nationals came from a 6-1 deficit on Monday to defeat the Mets in the series opener. Washington has simply had New York's number every which way you look at it. Washington has gone 48-16 in the last 64 meetings in New York. They've simply dominated in every facet and it has certainly become a mind game almost for the Mets. On top of that, Gio Gonzalez has dominated the Mets. Washington has gone 12-2 in Gonzalez's last 14 games pitched inside Citi Field. Some trends to note. Nationals are 4-0 in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Nationals are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. Given all the factors here, this price is too nice to pass up on. Back Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-17-18 | Wizards v. Raptors UNDER 215 | 119-130 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Wizards vs. Raptors Under 215 The Toronto Raptors made more than half of their three point jumpers in game one. That isn't likely to happen again. Toronto has been very inconsistent on offense in the playoffs in recent years, and I still don't trust this backcourt to deliver routinely this time of the year. Washington will likely look to slow the game down a bit here. Toronto's defense finished the year fifth in defensive efficiency in the NBA. The Raptors are going to key in on Beal and make John Wall make some jumpers. He isn't a good jump shooter, and there is a ton of pressure on Wall in this spot. This is a spot where the way the first game was played leads to an inflated total. People remember what they just saw and we can get some extra value by being contrarian and going against that. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
04-16-18 | Reds v. Brewers -130 | 10-4 | Loss | -130 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Brewers -130 The Brewers lay low juice here in a matchup against a team that has just struggled this season. Cincinnati has been horrific this season on every single front. Just 2-13 on the season, the Reds rank near the bottom in almost every single category. Allowing 6.13 runs per game, the Reds are averaging well under 3 themselves on the season which has been a recipe for disaster. Milwaukee meanwhile hasn't played their best by any means, but they're finding ways to grind out wins. Sitting at the .500 mark right now, the Brewers have been able to find some late offensive sparks. Some trends to note. Reds are 0-4 in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Reds are 0-5 in their last 5 vs. National League Central. Lay this small juice. Back Milwaukee. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||

Tampa Bay Lightning -135 The Lightning laying this small of juice here has value on Monday night. Tampa Bay is simply just a better overall team here in this series. This offense is just so much to contain. they tallied 10 goals in the first two games of this series, really just overwhelming this New Jersey defense. That has really been the story all season long for the Lightning, as they continue to utilize their depth. With each and every line, you're going to get a ton of aggression and crashing towards the net. Some trends to note. Lightning are 4-0 in their last 4 Conference Quarterfinals games. Lightning are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. Eastern Conference. Lay the juice here. Back Tampa Bay. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||

Los Angeles -140 Down 2-0, the Kings return home in almost a must win spot here on Sunday. The Kings took the Golden Knights to the brink in both Games 1 and 2, but couldn't finish late resulting in this deficit. The good news though, they've shown they can play right with Vegas and getting home ice here is going to be huge. Los Angeles went 23-15-3-0 at home this season, allowing just 2.41 goals per game in that span. This team is built on their defense and it's been there already this series. Now, the home ice should provide a little energy for this offense to find their groove once again. Some trends to note. Los Angeles Kings are 4-1 in their last 5 home games. Kings are 10-3 in their last 13 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. This one is worthy of a move on the home side. Back Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-15-18 | Jazz +4.5 v. Thunder | 108-116 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Utah +4.5 The Jazz catching points in this spot is valuable on Sunday. This series figures to be close every which way you look at it. Utah comes in as one of the hottest teams, going 29-6 down the stretch of the season to clinch the 5th spot in the West. They have found success with numerous factors, but the main one has been Rudy Gobert. Since his return, this team has played with confidence and almost had a spark lit. Gobert averaged 16.6 points per game to go along with 12 rebounds in the Jazz's big run. Look for him to be huge difference maker in this series. Some trends to note. Jazz are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Jazz are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Expect this one to go down to the wire here, as the points are valuable. Back Utah. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-15-18 | Pirates v. Marlins +131 | 7-3 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 14 m | Show | |
Miami Marlins ML The Pittsburgh Pirates aren't as good as they have played so far this year. Pittsburgh's prices are inflated in the marketplace right now simply because of their record. Pittsburgh isn't going to end up being a good team. The time to look to go against them is now. Miami starts Jose Urena here, and he's a youngster with some promise. Urena pitched a lot last year, and is now a relatively experienced pitcher. Look for him to keep the Pirates off balance with his change of pace pitches. Ivan Nova is a strike thrower and a pitch to contact type of guy. The Marlins have a lot of high strikeout batters in their lineup, but Nova is unlikely to be able to take advantage of it. Look for Miami's power hitters to have success. The home underdog here has value at this price. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-14-18 | Sharks +125 v. Ducks | 3-2 | Win | 125 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
San Jose +125 The Sharks at plus money here have value once again on Saturday. San Jose put a beatdown on the Ducks in Game 1 and now the pressure is extremely on for the Ducks here in almost a must win situation. However, the Sharks are just overall a deeper team and with the defensive efforts they have continued to turn in this season, it's going to be tough to knock this team down. The Sharks have given up just 2.72 goals per game this season and G Martin Jones comes in with a ton of momentum. He turned aside all 25 shots in Game 1 and is the difference maker here in this series. Some trends to note. Sharks are 7-2 in their last 9 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. Sharks are 7-2 in their last 9 games following a win. Grab the plus money here. Back San Jose. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||
04-14-18 | A's v. Mariners OVER 8.5 | 8-10 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
Athletics vs. Mariners over 8.5 The Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners meet in a game that should see a lot of runs scored on Saturday. Kendall Graveman starts for the A's and Marco Gonzales starts for the Mariners. While Graveman and Gonzales don't have similar types of stuff, they have followed a similar career path. Both of these guys were extremely highly rated as prospects. They have both shown some flashes of brilliance, but on the whole they have both been disappointing. Consistency is a major problem for both of them. The A's offense is much better than it has been in past years. The A's continue to have a poor defense and a questionable bullpen. Oakland has been putting up some big numbers so far this year. Seattle's ability to get production from the bottom of the lineup should be another key in this one. Look for both teams to score quite a few here. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB O/U Play | |||||||
04-14-18 | Heat +6.5 v. 76ers | 103-130 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Miami Heat +6.5 The Heat grabbing points in Game 1 is worthy of a nice move here. Philadelphia had quite the season as the "Trust the Process" finally came to life with a playoff berth. However, the experience factor is what we fade here. The 76ers have not had the playoff experience and all of these young guys are going to have nerves coming out here. It will take them some time to get their feet underneath them here and Miami has the team that can make you pay for that. The Heat have the experience level, along with Goran Dragic healthy and ready for Game 1. Some trends to note. Heat are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games. Heat are 26-9-2 ATS in their last 37 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. With Embid still out, this is a nice spot on the points. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-13-18 | Diamondbacks +121 v. Dodgers | 8-7 | Win | 121 | 23 h 35 m | Show | |
Arizona +121 The Diamondbacks at plus money here have value on Friday night. Arizona has started the season off red hot, winning 9 of their first 12 games as this team continues to be on the uprise. Arizona has made themselves one of the most dangerous road teams in the MLB. Arizona has won 17 of their last 25 away from home and has gone 4-2 already this season. They send out ace Zack Greinke, who has seen plenty of the Dodgers in his past. Greinke owned a modest 3.5 ERA against the Dodgers last season and owns a 14:0 strikeout to walk ratio this season overall. Some trends to note. Diamondbacks are 5-0 in their last 5 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. Diamondbacks are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. National League West. At this kind of price, the Diamondbacks with their road success has value. Back Arizona. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-13-18 | Angels v. Royals OVER 9.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
Angels vs. Royals Over 9.5 The Angels are first in the majors in many offensive categories so far this year. Ohtani being so good on offense is getting most of the publicity, and he deserves the praise. Still, there are lots of other reasons for why this Angels team has been so good. Zack Cozart and Justin Upton being in the lineup is a huge plus for this team. Mike Trout missed a lot of time last year, and he's the best player in baseball. This Angels lineup has impressive depth. The Royals pitching staff is about as bad as it gets. The bullpen is arguably the worst in the majors. The Angels should continue their hot hitting. Andrew Heaney is coming back from a long recovery from an injury, and Heaney has been less than reliable in the past. The Royals have some good bats against left handed pitching. The wind is blowing out in a big way in Kansas City on Friday as well. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB O/U Play | |||||||
04-13-18 | Blue Jays v. Indians -125 | 8-4 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Cleveland Indians -125 The Cleveland Indians offense has underachieved in a big way so far this year. Cleveland finally heated up offensively last night, and I expect their offense to continue to get better. The Indians have had some bad luck on batted balls in play this year, and that should regress to the mean. Cleveland has some quality hitters who have started the year really cold. I still trust guys like Jose Ramirez and Edwin Encarnacion to be very good for the year. The Indians pitching staff has done a great job leading them to a positive record on the year despite the offense being terrible in the early going. This bullpen is still one of the very best in the majors. Mike Clevinger has been underrated ever since he came up for the Tribe. The Indians are a stunning 14-3 in Clevinger's last 17 starts. They are 7-0 in Clevinger's last 7 home starts. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-12-18 | Avalanche +1.5 v. Predators | 2-5 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
Colorado +1.5 The Avalanche had quite the storybook season here in 2017-2018. Colorado was in full rebuild mode this season, but yet here they are standing in the first round of the NHL Playoffs. Colorado's season was built with many ups and downs, but this offense really picked things up. Averaging well over 3 goals per game, the Avs dominated down the stretch of the season and clinched on the last day of the season with a win over St. Louis. Now, they take on the Predators, who have a ton of pressure on. Nashville fell just short last season in the Stanley Cup Finals and all the eyes are on them now to get back. This is certainly a game Colorado can keep close and potentially steal here, knowing whats going on in Nashville's mind. Grab the GL here as this one should be down to the wire. Back Colorado.

04-12-18 | Yankees v. Red Sox OVER 9 | 3-6 | Push | 0 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Yankees vs. Red Sox Over 9 The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have sailed over the total in the last two days. I think they'll sail past the total again here. These two lineups are missing some key guys, but they are still much better than the average MLB lineup. These guys work the counts and make the pitcher work hard. The weather here calls for strong winds out toward center and left field here. The wind can play a big role in games at Fenway Park, and wind howling out makes this over have much more value than it normally would. Both of these bullpens have been used pretty heavily in recent games, and they aren't likely to be as reliable as normal. Both teams should put plenty on the board here. Look for a close high scoring contest. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play | |||||||
04-11-18 | Nuggets +3.5 v. Wolves | 106-112 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
Denver Nuggets +3.5 The Denver Nuggets have a high upside with their balanced offensive attack. I believe they are a team that is playing its basketball at the right time of the year. Jokic is a great centerpiece for this team, and the Nuggets are an offensive juggernaut. The Timberwolves are a quality team with a lot of talent, but their team chemistry has lacked for much of the year. Not having good team chemistry isn't a good sign at all as you head into a one game showdown to decide who gets into the playoffs. This is a game that should be tight throughout. There isn't much separating these two teams, and catching this many points is a nice bonus. Look for this one to go down to the wire, and Denver's ability to have multiple guys beat you should be key. We'll grab the dog in this one. Back Denver. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-11-18 | Yankees +104 v. Red Sox | 10-7 | Win | 104 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
New York +104 This is a prime bounce back spot for the Yankees here on Wednesday night. New York was thrashed on Tuesday in Boston, as the Red Sox put up a 14 spot in an embarrassing spot for the Yankees. David Price gets the ball for Boston and he certainly is vulnerable against this Yankees lineup. Price started his tenure off in Boston against New York on a horrible foot. The Red Sox LH allowed 36 runs in his first 6 starts and has never really been able to find stability against them. Tanaka gets the ball for the Yankees and he comes in off a solid start to the season. The RH has turned in a pair of quality starts thus far and has looked sharp from the outset in both. Some trends to note. Yankees are 7-2 in their last 9 during game 2 of a series. Yankees are 12-4 in their last 16 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. At plus money here, this one makes sense. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||

Minnesota vs. Winnipeg Over 5.5 The Wild and Jets clash in the Opening Round of the NHL Playoffs and the Over here has value to work with. Both of these offenses can really put the attack on, which gives this total value. Minnesota comes into play here averaging 3.05 goals per game this season, while Winnipeg sits at 3.33 per contest. The aggressive style and ability to put many shots on net per possession is going to play a huge factor here both ways. Expect plenty of scoring opportunities, while the counter attacks will play a huge role as well. Given how both teams will look to crash the net offensively, we should see plenty of 2 on 1s and 3 on 2s in this spot. Some trends to note. Over is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings in Winnipeg. Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. Given the series history here, along with the style of play, this spot on the over makes a lot of sense. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Seattle Mariners -111 The Mariners at this kind of price here have value on Tuesday night. They send out Felix Hernandez, who comes in with one stellar start with another being a struggle. Opening Day Hernandez stifled the Indians lineup, but it was the Giants that got to him during their Home Opener. Still, Hernandez has proven he is at least healthy which is a huge step in the right direction. Hernandez has also pitched well against the Royals. He owns just a 3.04 ERA over 15 career starts against the Royals. Countering him is LH Eric Skoglund, who has yet to make an appearance this season. The LH has boasted an ERA of 9.50 last season and has had major issues with his command. Some trends to note. Mariners are 4-1 in Hernandezs last 5 road starts. Mariners are 29-10 in Hernandezs last 39 road starts vs. a team with a losing record. With the huge edge pitching-wise, this price makes a lot of sense. Back Seattle. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

New York +136 The Yankees are at too nice of a price here to pass up on Tuesday night. New York sends out RH Luis Severino, who has continued to prove to be a top of the line pitcher. Severino has gone 2-0 this season already while posting an ERA of just 1.38. Severino has had some solid success against the Red Sox in his career too. The RH has gone 2-1 with a 3.33 ERA in his career. Two of those starts have come in Boston, where he has been absolutely dominant, holding an ERA of just 0.64. Countering him will be Chris Sale, who finished last season 0-3 against New York. This is a team that he has struggled to find wins against and with this deep of a lineup, things will only get tougher. Some trends to note. Yankees are 5-0 in their last 5 Tuesday games. Yankees are 12-3 in their last 15 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. Grab the plus money here. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* MLB ML Play | |||||||

Chicago +101 The White Sox at this kind of price are a nice move here on Tuesday afternoon. Chicago dropped Monday after stranding the winning runs on 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning. While the loss stung, this is a nice bounce-back position with this pitching matchup. Chicago sends out RH Carson Fulmer, who will get a legit shot here at making a huge impact on this rotation. Fulmer had a great season last year as he joined the team going 3-1 with a 3.86 ERA over 7 appearances. September saw him finish 3-0 with an ERA of only 1.64. He has a lot of potential and can really be dangerous when getting into a groove. Some trends to note. Rays are 1-4 in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Rays are 0-5 in their last 5 road games. Grab this kind of price in a game where the White Sox have the edge. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||

New Orleans Pelicans -7.5 This game means a lot to the Pelicans who are fighting to get into the playoffs. A few games ago it looked like the Clippers might make a playoff push, but they have now fallen out of contention and have nothing to play for here. The Clippers have been on the outside looking in and trying to find a way to fight into the playoffs for weeks now. Without that same incentive in this game, and after battling so hard for many weeks, you have to wonder what kind of effort you'll get from the Clippers here. The Pelicans have gotten much better on defense in recent weeks, and Anthony Davis will be the best player on the floor here by a large margin. This will be a fast paced game and New Orleans is more suited to roll to a big win. Back New Orleans. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Arizona -117 The Diamondbacks laying this low of a price here is a nice move on Monday night. Arizona has started the season off at 7-2 for the 2nd straight year and this team is playing with extreme confidence right now. The Diamondbacks started their road trip off on the right foot with a 4-1 win over the Cardinals Sunday, capping off a series win over the weekend. RH Zack Godley comes in with a lot of confidence as well. Godley had the task of going up against Kershaw his last time out and out-dueled him to grab his first win of the season. Countering him will be Derek Holland, who has just been a mess over the recent years. He struggled in Chicago last season and picked up right where he left off with a rough outing against the Dodgers. Some trends to note. Diamondbacks are 5-1 in their last 6 games on grass. Diamondbacks are 19-7 in their last 26 games vs. a left-handed starter. Lay the small juice here. Back Arizona. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||

Houston Astros -1.5 The Astros laying the RL here has value to work with on Monday night. Justin Verlander will face a familiar foe in the Minnesota Twins, a team that he dominated over his time in Detroit. Verlander has gone 17-9 mark with a 3.15 ERA in his career against the Twins. He has been able to work deeps into the game and really dominate from the start with his secondary pitches. Minnesota meanwhile has struggled to gain any sort of stability thus far with the weather issues. Having a staggered schedule so far has really given them problems, which doesn't help with having to deal with Justin Verlander. Some trends to note. Astros are 6-1 in their last 7 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Astros are 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Lay the runs here. Back Houston RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Oakland Athletics +156 The Oakland Athletics are too big of an underdog here. Oakland's Kendall Graveman has shutdown potential. He is certainly an up and down type of guy, but Ohtani is getting more respect starting for the Angels here than nearly any other new pitcher in the bigs has in recent memory. Ohtani has been great at the plate, but he still has a lot to prove on the mound. In Spring Training, Ohtani wasn't able to control his pitches very well and I need to see him do it in the regular season before I trust him. The media hype surrounding him has driven this number up. The Angels are a quality team, but they aren't the type of team to be laying this big of a price against an improved Athletics team. Oakland's offense should give them quite a few scoring chances here. We'll back the big dog here. Back Oakland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||

Calgary +115 The Flames season has certainly been a disappointment, but they have value here at home as they look to close the season on a high note. The Golden Knights controlled the Pacific from the start and are poised for a big playoff run here in 2018. However, they are certainly not focused here against the Flames, with the playoffs kicking off next week. Expect them to really lack focus here as they'll certainly be looking ahead in this spot. On top of that, the Flames here are looking to finish with some momentum and home ice here will be helpful. Calgary has averaged under 3 goals against this season, one of the bright spots to their 2017-2018 resume. Look for them to really try and control the possession here, not allowing Vegas to gain any sort of momentum or steam. Some trends to note. Golden Knights are 1-4 in their last 5 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. Grab the plus money here. Back Calgary. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Brooklyn Nets -5 The Brooklyn Nets don't have any reason to tank based on their draft setup. The Chicago Bulls have a lot of reasons to tank. I see Brooklyn being the team that cares about this game a lot more than the Bulls. Brooklyn has a lot of young players who are playing with a great amount of confidence right now. The Nets are coming off a nice win in Milwaukee, and they have been well rested for this one too. Bulls are without Dunn and Lavine, and without those guys this is an offense that you cannot trust. The Bulls have actually stumbled on some success of late, but this is a chance for them to tank and fall to the same level as the Nets. There is no positive incentive for the Bulls here, and there may be some negative. We'll lay the points with the team playing hard on a consistent basis. Back Brooklyn. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Cincinnati +107 The Reds at plus money here have the value on Saturday night. Pirates RH Chad Kuhl is a nice fade in this spot. Kuhl struggled in his first start of the season, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits. Pitching inside PNC Park has also been a huge issue for him. Last season the RH finished with a 5 plus ERA at home, as he was knocked around consistently. The Reds meanwhile, have struggled this season, but RH Sal Romano has pitched well against the Pirates. Owning just a 2.29 ERA in 3 starts, Romano has been able to work deep into games consistently against Pittsburgh and giving the Reds a chance to win in every outing. Some trends to note. Pirates are 2-5 in Kuhls last 7 Saturday starts. Grab the plus money here. Back Cincinnati. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||

Los Angeles Angels -125 The Angels laying the small juice, at home, has value here on Friday night. The Angels took 2 of 3 against Cleveland this past week, as this offense has combined with some solid starting pitching to prove Los Angeles may be legit this season. The Angels have won 5 of their first 7 overall and they're playing with a lot of confidence heading into Friday night when the A's come to down. Oakland RH Daniel Gossett will get the ball, as he allowed 4 runs on 6 hits in just 4 innings of work against the Angels back in Oakland earlier this season. His stuff just isn't overpowering and will certainly struggle here against this lineup once again. Some trends to note. Angels are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. American League West.

Pelicans vs. Suns Over 220 The New Orleans Pelicans and Phoenix Suns have pushed the pace as consistently as anyone in the NBA this year. New Orleans hasn't shot the ball very well of late, but that should change when they go up against this awful Suns defense. Phoenix has plenty of offensive weapons, and they can score in bunches. The Suns are having fun and running the floor as much as ever of late. New Orleans is able to defend teams who go inside a lot, but the Pelicans perimeter defenders aren't very good at all. The Suns will be looking to shoot from the outside very often, and that should help them have success here. The Pelicans have to win as the playoff standings in the Western Conference stay tight. They should put on quite the offensive display here. Both teams score a large number here. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play | |||||||

Philadelphia -3.5 The 76ers laying the points here, at home, have a lot of value to work with. Cleveland comes in after erasing a huge 4th quarter deficit last night, a game where they trailed by as many as 10 with just 4 minutes to go. This is not only a bit of a let down spot, but a look over spot as well. Cleveland comes in off an emotional win and will have some fatigue to battle with here. On top of that, the 76ers are just so tough. They are a young group that can really cause a lot of issues for teams with their speed and pace of play. While Cleveland does typically play fast, the 76ers have proven they can really get the Cavs on their heels defensively. Some trends to note. 76ers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. 76ers are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. This is a nice spot on the home side.

They beat up on the lowly Padres in this last series. Colorado still has to prove themselves worthy of laying this kind of a price. The Braves aren't a good team, but they still have some solid pieces. Their offense is plenty good enough with Freddie Freeman to do some major damage at Coors Field. The Braves start Brandon McCarthy, and I think his familiarity with the Rockies after playing in the NL West for a long time is a positive here. The Braves are at a disadvantage in the bullpen, but other than that I see them on similar levels as the Rockies. Colorado is getting too much respect here, and we'll take the dog. Back Atlanta. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-05-18 | Penguins v. Blue Jackets OVER 5.5 | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh vs. Columbus Over 5.5 The Penguins and Blue Jackets battle on Thursday night with a lot on the line here in regards to seeding. Whenever these two teams meet it tends to be completely fast paced and an absolute entertaining affair. With so much on the line here, expect that to be the same. Pittsburgh's offense has been the main reason they erased what was a slow start to the season. The Penguins are putting up 3.26 goals per game and have had plenty of success getting to this Blue Jackets defense in recent meetings. They come at you with so many different weapons, which has been overwhelming for this back line. Columbus meanwhile, has caught their fire at the right time. The Blue Jackets offense continues to find a spark, with the most recent one being a huge come from behind 5 goal performance. Some trends to note. Over is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings in Columbus. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. Expect a lot of back and forth action here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
04-05-18 | Mariners -115 v. Twins | 2-4 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 9 m | Show | |
Seattle -115 The Mariners are in a prime bounceback spot here on Thursday in Minnesota. This is particularly a nice spot for James Paxton. After getting knocked around by Cleveland, Paxton will take on a team where he can utilize his secondary pitches in a big way. The Twins offense is primarily a fastball hitting team, which will really give Paxton a chance to keep them off balanced all day long. He has also had great success against the Twins. Paxton has posted an ERA of just 2.70 over 3 starts in his career against Minnesota. Despite a nice start last week, Gibson still was a horrific pitcher last season. This is a spot to fade him and lay the small juice on the better team. Back Seattle. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-04-18 | Rangers v. A's -145 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 14 m | Show | |
Oakland -145 The A's are in a nice bounce back spot here on Wednesday night against Texas. Oakland will see Doug Fister take the hill for the Rangers, a pitcher that struggled in every aspect last season. Fister went just 5-9 during his 2017 campaign, boasting a 4.88 ERA in 18 games (15 starts). He simply has lost it over the last few seasons, unable to get deep into games or find that strikeout pitch. LH Sean Manaea comes in off a nice start to his season, as he threw 7.2 innings of 1 run ball against the Angels. He'll be asked to do a lot for the A's this season, which will certainly give him a little extra confidence knowing he's one of the top pitchers in this team's rotation. Some trends to note. Athletics are 4-0 in their last 4 Wednesday games. Athletics are 14-5 in their last 19 games vs. a right-handed starter. Grab the home side here as fading Fister is a nice move. Back Oakland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-04-18 | Heat -8 v. Hawks | 115-86 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
Miami Heat -8 The Miami Heat were sloppy last night against the Hawks. They nearly paid for it. Miami has a lot to play for here, and the Hawks are playing for a better chance at a high draft pick. This is one of those "tanking" spots where the price is reasonable enough to pull the trigger. The Heat have been very good at closing the season playing good basketball under Spoelstra. He is an underrated head coach in the NBA. Miami's offense has improved down the stretch, and I look for them to continue to be good on the defensive end. Atlanta is playing a B2B spot against a team with a lot to play for, and the Hawks simply want this season to be over. This is one of those games where they could mail it in and get run off the floor and it wouldn't surprise me one bit. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-04-18 | Twins -100 v. Pirates | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Minnesota Twins -100 The Pittsburgh Pirates franchise is on the decline. This is an ownership group that appears to have thrown in the towel for the time being. The players have to feel it. The fans of the Pirates definitely feel it and they won't have the same type of great home atmosphere this year. The trades they made in the offseason made this Pirates team worse. They appear to have been taken advantage of by multiple organizations in trades recently. Pittsburgh starts Ivan Nova here and he is a pitch to contact guy. With wind howling out to center field here, that's a dangerous pitcher to have on the mound. Minnesota has a lineup that can pile up the runs. Late last year, they were scoring as many runs as anyone in baseball. The Twins have a balanced lineup and there is no clear weakness here. The Twins are the better team and this is a solid price. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-03-18 | Nationals v. Braves OVER 9 | 6-13 | Win | 100 | 18 h 7 m | Show | |
Washington vs. Atlanta Over 9 The Nats and Braves continue their series and the Over here has value to work with. Washington's offense is just on an absolute tear to start the season. The Nationals have averaged 7 runs per game through the first 4 and Bryce Harper has been the spark plug behind it. Harper homered once again in the win on Monday, as top to bottom this Washington offense continues to produce. Atlanta meanwhile hasn't been a pushover either. Prior to the series opener against the Nationals, the Braves offense had averaged 9 runs through the short start to the season. Both offenses will benefit from weak starting pitching as well, adding even more value to this total. Some trends to note. Over is 5-0-1 in Braves last 6 on grass. Over is 23-10 in the last 33 meetings. Expect plenty of run scoring opportunities here in this one. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play | |||||||
04-03-18 | Raptors +1.5 v. Cavs | 106-112 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 26 m | Show | |
Toronto Raptors +1.5 A revenge spot is in play here when the Raptors and Cavaliers meet. Toronto led Cleveland by double digits for a majority of 3 quarters in Cleveland recently, a game where mayhem ensued in the 4th. Cleveland eventually came back to grab a win, sending quite the message to the Raptors that they are still the team to beat in the East. While the season has been up and down for Cleveland, the Raptors have consistently sat atop the East. Toronto comes in with 55 wins on the year and are putting up an impressive 111 points in road situations. Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 Tuesday games. Cavaliers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Cleveland will be without George Hill once again, which has proven to be a big piece missing when he's not in the lineup. With all the factors in play, the Raptors will come out with plenty of fire in this spot. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-02-18 | Michigan v. Villanova OVER 145 | 62-79 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 46 m | Show | |
Michigan vs. Villanova Over 145 The Wildcats and Wolverines meet in the National Championship and the Over here has value. Villanova has been just at an extremely high level top to bottom on the offensive end. After their barrage from behind the arc in the Final Four, the Wildcats have proven they just have so many weapons. Michigan will simply have to turn the tempo up here, knowing what they'll get from this Nova offense. Michigan did just that against Loyola in their matchup, as they picked up the tempo and aggression in the 2nd half. Knowing that is the style they need here, this certainly gives the Over value. Some trends to note. Over is 13-4 in Wildcats last 17 games following a straight up win. Over is 15-5 in Wildcats last 20 overall. Expect this one to be back and forth with plenty of quick shots both ways. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
04-02-18 | White Sox +150 v. Blue Jays | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
Chicago White Sox +150 The Chicago White Sox are much better against left handed pitching than right handed pitching. Chicago finished in the bottom five in the majors in OBP against right handers last year. They were a top ten offense against lefties last year. That should continue this season as far as the drastic splits. Toronto's Jaime Garcia is merely a mediocre lefty at this point in his career. He is being priced like an elite left handed starter in this number. Look for the White Sox to get plenty of scoring chances against Garcia, who can be wildly inconsistent. Reynaldo Lopez has a high upside and this Blue Jays offense is inconsistent. Though they are more than capable of blowing him up here, they also swing and miss a lot and Lopez has very good stuff. This is all about the price. It's too cheap of a number to pass up. Back the Chicago White Sox. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
04-01-18 | Bucks v. Nuggets OVER 224 | 125-128 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
Milwaukee vs. Denver Over 224 The Bucks and Nuggets are in a nice spot on the Over here Sunday afternoon. These are two offenses that like to get up and down the floor quickly, while both attacking early in the shot clock. That bodes well for this Over given that aggressive style from both sides. Along with that, you're going to get two defenses that are amongst the worst in the league. Neither team has shown the ability to get back in transition, as well as close out on opposing shooters. Expect both teams to get plenty of open looks here from almost everywhere on the floor. Some trends to note. Over is 7-1 in Bucks last 8 games playing on 1 days rest. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Denver. Given the situational aspect as well, expect plenty of easy buckets here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
04-01-18 | Capitals v. Penguins OVER 6 | 3-1 | Loss | -111 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
Washington vs. Pittsburgh Over 6 The rivalry continues and the Over here has nice value to work with on Sunday. Whenever these two teams meet, it tends to be a fast paced and aggressive kind of affair. Both offenses are tops in the NHL, as they attack the net and pepper the opposing goal with shots relentlessly. Washington enters play averaging 3.09 goals per game, while the Penguins sit at 3.69 in home contests. Given the magnitude of this one and how important it is for the Metro standings, expect both teams to even turn things up a notch in case. Some trends to note. Over is 22-7 in Penguins last 29 overall. Over is 4-1 in Capitals last 5 Sunday games. Expect both teams to attack right from the start. With that in mind, the counter attacks the other way will certainly be open as this one should feature plenty of scoring chances. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
04-01-18 | Twins +101 v. Orioles | 7-0 | Win | 101 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
Minnesota Twins ML The Minnesota Twins start Jose Berrios on Sunday at Baltimore, and I like them to get the job done on the road here. Berrios is clearly a pitcher on the rise. This is a guy who has elite stuff and he made a big jump last year. I think his star will continue to shine brighter this year and in the future as well. Baltimore's Kevin Gausman has been up and down in his career, and historically he has been terrible at the beginning of the year. His worst month has been the first month of the year by a huge margin. This Minnesota lineup isn't very forgiving. I expect plenty of scoring from the Twins here. Baltimore is a team on the decline in my opinion, and with a guy like Gausman on the hill- I'm not afraid to fade them against a Twins team that can score in bunches. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
03-31-18 | Kansas v. Villanova OVER 154.5 | Top | 79-95 | Win | 100 | 26 h 23 m | Show |
Kansas vs. Villanova Over 154.5 The Final Four features two teams that really deserve to be in this spot. Both Kansas and Villanova have consistently sat atop the nation this season, as they enter play on Saturday with plenty of momentum. You know you're going to get a lot of pace with both these teams, which is certainly a huge plus for this Over. Kansas and Villanova have both played up and down affairs on almost every tournament game here in March. Along with that, both teams just have so many weapons to deal with. Both of these teams average well into the 80s and can put the ball in from anywhere on the floor. Look for a lot of quick shots early in the shot clock, benefiting the Over in a big way. Some trends to note. Over is 14-5 in Wildcats last 19 overall. Over is 5-1-1 in Jayhawks last 7 overall. Expect plenty of action. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Villanova -5 The Villanova Wildcats have been the most consistent team in the country this year. Villanova should continue their march to the national title in this one. Kansas has been a really inconsistent team all year long. The Jayhawks have been bad on defense overall this year, while Villanova has been great on both ends of the floor. Kansas ranks outside the top 50 in many key defensive statistics. Villanova has been playing their best defense of the year in the last two weeks. I liked the effort of the Kansas team to beat Duke in the Elite 8, but I see a much tougher test here. Villanova has many more players who can beat you, and the Wildcats are a veteran group. Some of Duke's youngsters weren't at their best on the big stage. Villanova should be ready to go. Expect Villanova to have the lead throughout and their great free throw shooting should seal the game and the cover. Back Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-31-18 | Wild -110 v. Stars | 1-4 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
Minnesota -110 The Wild and Star battle on Saturday night and the visitors have the value here. Dallas has completely bottomed out. After battling amongst the top in the division, Dallas has faded back to the pack. It has been a combo of things for this team, but mostly just inconsistent play on the defensive end. Teams are getting plenty of shots on the Stars and getting multiple chances on net. The Wild are attack minded, which will certainly benefit them here in this spot. Minnesota averages over 3 goals per game and should really be able to put the pressure on in this spot. Some trends to note. Wild are 6-0 in their last 6 in the second game of a home-and-home situation. Wild are 19-7 in their last 26 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. Minnesota has taken 5 of the last 6 in this series. With the direction of both teams, this one makes a lot of sense. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||
03-31-18 | White Sox v. Royals -102 | 4-3 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
Kansas City -102 The Royals at PK price here have value, at home, on Saturday night. The White Sox tattooed the Royals on Opening Day, but here the edge pitching wise certainly goes to Kansas City. RH Lucas Giolito got his feet wet in the Majors last season, but his road experience is very limited. On top of that, it's simply not good either. He sits with an ERA well over 3 in 3 outings, and an 0-1 record. Kennedy meanwhile gets the ball for KC, a veteran who the Royals will lean on a lot this season. Kennedy is in a role where he needs to step up and really make a huge impact with this club in 2018. Some trends to note. Royals are 6-0 in their last 6 during game 2 of a series. Royals are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Grab the home side here. The veteran gets the edge, as the White Sox offense certainly won't perform at that level again from Thursday. Back Kansas City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
03-31-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Michigan -5 | 57-69 | Win | 100 | 24 h 53 m | Show | |
Michigan -5 The Wolverines are certainly in a nice spot here on Saturday in the Final Four. Michigan's defense is the difference maker here. This team is just about as lock down as you can get, as they can frustrate any given opponent. While Loyola is on quite the storybook run, they simply are going to be overmatched here in this one. The Wolverines concede just 63 points per game, one of the top marks in the entire nation. Turning defense into easy offensive buckets, look for the pressure to be too much for the Ramblers to handle here. Some trends to note. Wolverines are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win. Wolverines are 13-3-2 ATS in their last 18 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Lay the points here. Michigan is the better overall team and will have little issue with Loyola in this spot. Back Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-30-18 | Rockies +147 v. Diamondbacks | 8-9 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
Colorado Rockies ML The Colorado Rockies have a good lineup and most people don't realize how good this Colorado bullpen is right now. Colorado has one of the top five or six bullpens in the majors. That is going to win them a lot of close games this year. Robbie Ray is a good pitcher, but Colorado's lineup has hit him hard in the past. They should be able to get some nice scoring chances here as well. Colorado's lineup has a tremendous .421 on base percentage against Ray all time. Tyler Anderson should have a bounce back year for the Rockies this year. He has shown lots of promise in the past and his mechanics were refined to help improve his consistency for this season. This game is far closer to being a toss up than this huge underdog line would suggest. Take Colorado. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
03-30-18 | Pelicans v. Cavs -3.5 | 102-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Cleveland -3.5 The Cavaliers are certainly making things look better for themselves with the season winding down. Cleveland has put together a nice run here and they matchup well here at home against the Pelicans on Friday night. Cleveland will face one of the worst defenses in the NBA. New Orleans concedes over 111 points per game and they constantly are giving up open looks both inside and out. With Cleveland's pace and number of playmakers, this is a spot where the Cavs can really pick up the tempo and put a lot of pressure on early. New Orleans will be on their heels all night long on the defensive end. Some trends to note. Pelicans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Pelicans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Lay the small number here. Cleveland is going to be too much and cause too may issues for this Pelicans team. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-30-18 | Yankees -144 v. Blue Jays | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
New York -144 The Yankees took it to the Blue Jays on Thursday on Opening Day and here they have value at this kind of price. There is a clear cut advantage that goes the Yankees way in this matchup. For starters, the Blue Jays offense is just about as weak as it gets. They lack any sort of presence that can spark this lineup and Josh Donaldson is not even at 100% for them. He bounced two balls to first base in the opener, resulting in what was diagnosed as a dead arm. New York meanwhile, wasted no time welcoming in Giancarlo Stanton. He dropped a pair of homeruns in the opener as he will certainly be a huge boost to this lineup in many ways. Some trends to note. Yankees are 5-1 in their last 6 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game. Yankees are 5-1 in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. New York is just too overpowering in this spot. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||
03-29-18 | Penn State -4 v. Utah | 82-66 | Win | 100 | 13 h 39 m | Show | |
Penn State -4 The Penn State Nittany Lions have been tremendous in the NIT thus far, and I don't see that changing in the final game here. Penn State is the much better defensive team in this matchup. They rank in the top 20 overall on the year in defensive efficiency, and in the second half of the season they rank in the top 14. Utah played in a very weak Pac 12. The Utes haven't been battle tested as much as Penn State, and I feel the Utes have less high end talent than the Nittany Lions. Utah doesn't have the same kind of potential to get hot from the outside that Penn State does. Penn State should have been in the NCAA Tournament. They are out to prove it by winning the NIT here. I think they'll make their point loud and clear in the finals. Back Penn State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-29-18 | Penguins v. Devils OVER 6 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh vs. New Jersey Over 6 The Penguins and Devils clash in an all important Metro affair and the Over here has value. Looking at Pittsburgh first, they add value here on both sides of the puck to the Over. Offensively, the Penguins are one of the most threatening teams in the NHL. They are completely attack minded and have just so many weapons that can put the puck in the back of the net. Defensively, Matt Murray has been a mess since his return. Murray has allowed 15 goals over 3 games since returning from a head injury. The Devils should be able to get plenty of nice chances on net here in this one. They are playing with a little more aggression as of late, with the race in the division so tight and wins extremely important. Some trends to note. Over is 20-7 in Penguins last 27 overall. Over is 4-1 in Devils last 5 overall. Expect a lot of action here. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
03-29-18 | Phillies -124 v. Braves | 5-8 | Loss | -124 | 16 h 10 m | Show | |
Philadelphia -124 The Phillies made a pair of big moves this offseason and come in with high hopes. Matching up with the Braves to open the season is a nice spot here. Atlanta is certainly in line for another down year and the Phillies sending Nola to the mound here is a very solid matchup. Nola has put together a nice track record heading into 2018. He doubled his win total after breaking the league 2 years ago and has really developed not only into a confident pitcher, but one that can really fool hitters with his secondary pitches. Meanwhile, Julio Teheran comes in after a horrific year at home. In 2017, Teheran finished 3-10 with a 5.86 ERA. Some trends to note. Braves are 1-6 in their last 7 vs. National League East. Braves are 1-6 in their last 7 overall. This is too nice of a price here given the pitching edge and just overall advantage for the Phillies here on Opening Day. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB ML Play | |||||||

Toronto +141 Expectations are at an all time high for the Yankees heading into this season. After just missing out on a World Series appearance and making the biggest splash this offseason, everyone is assuming they are a lock to at least appear in the Fall Classic. This will be a nice fade spot with the pressure and eyes all on the Yankees to start the season. Toronto sends out JA Happ, who comes in off a solid 2017 ERA wise. Sitting in the 3's, Happ had little help from an inconsistent team. However, he has really solidified himself as the team's ace thanks to a 20 win season in 2016 and last year being a decent season. Some trends to note. Yankees are 3-10 in Severinos last 13 starts during game 1 of a series. Blue Jays are 4-1 in Happs last 5 starts. This value is high here. Toronto, with home field for Opening Day, will have a little extra incentive to beat the Yanks. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB ML Play | |||||||
03-28-18 | Mavs v. Lakers -7.5 | 93-103 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Lakers -7.5 The Lakers laying the points here is a nice move on Wednesday night. Los Angeles is certainly in a down year, but for the expectations they had, they are certainly performing at a nice level. Offensively, this team is very difficult to contain. With the youth they have, they have really pushed the tempo and been able to keep some opposing defenses off balanced. LA has averaged nearly 110 points per game as they have a complement of shooters to go along with their interior game. Dallas meanwhile, will simply struggle to keep up here. This Mavericks offense has been on a down for a few seasons in a row now, as they simply do not have many weapons. Some trends to note. Lakers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Lakers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Dallas is just 9-27 on the road this season. Lay the points with the home side. Back Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-28-18 | Flyers +125 v. Avalanche | 2-1 | Win | 125 | 13 h 50 m | Show | |
Philadelphia +125 The Flyers grabbing plus money here has value on Wednesday night. Colorado has certainly been a team to take notice of after the year they have had. While they're right in the playoff hunt, this is a time they simply aren't used to. Playing in high pressured games and games this meaningful late in the season are going to be quite the challenge for this group. Meanwhile, the Flyers know the importance of every game and they are in the midst of a race in the Metro where they cannot afford to slip up. Philadelphia is a team that can really frustrate opponents with their possession game, something Colorado struggles with. Some trends to note. Flyers are 8-3 in their last 11 vs. Western Conference. Road team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Grab the value here. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||
03-27-18 | Bucks +3 v. Clippers | 98-105 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 10 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Bucks +3 The Bucks grabbing points here in this post have value on Tuesday night. Milwaukee takes on a Clippers team that knows time is running out them, which is certainly never a good thing in terms of playing under pressure. Los Angeles still sits 2 games back of a playoff spot and will stop home for a quick minute here, before heading right back on the road. Situationally, this will not be an easy mental game for the Clippers. Milwaukee is also just a tough team to handle. Offensively they have just so many weapons and have put up 106 points per game this season. They'll have a chance a lot of easy looks here, as Los Angeles boasts one of the worst defenses in the NBA. Some trends to note. Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. Clippers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win. Grab the points in this one as the visitors are the better team and are playing much better as a whole. Back Milwaukee. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Ottawa Senators -109 The Senators are in a nice spot and at a nice price here on Tuesday night. The Islanders have almost phoned it in here this season. New York comes into play losers of 3 in a row and are just getting torched on both sides of the puck. Defensively, they remain one of the worst in the NHL and come in off a performance that saw them get lit up against the Panthers. Meanwhile, their offense has even sputtered a bit, the one thing that was actually a positive from this season. While Ottawa has struggled too, they are at least putting up some fights in games. They are doing whatever they can with this young core to finish the season strong, as some players are looking to make a name for themselves heading into the offseason. Some trends to note. Islanders are 1-4 in their last 5 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. Islanders are 3-13 in their last 16 vs. Atlantic. Every which way you look at it, the Islanders are simply a mess. Fade them here. Back Ottawa. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||
03-26-18 | Capitals v. Rangers OVER 6 | 4-2 | Push | 0 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Washington vs. New York Over 6 The Capitals and Rangers here should play to a very entertaining affair on Monday night. Both of these teams are attack minded, which will certainly open up a lot of lanes on both ends of the ice. Washington's offense is in a nice rhythm as of late. They are putting up 3.11 goals per game this season as a whole, but their aggressive style has led them to 3 straight wins, as they continue to put the pressure on each possession. Meanwhile, the Rangers are playing with house money at this point. After a very down year, they have a lot of young guys now up here that are looking to make an impact. With that in mind, they are certainly turning things up a few notches with all the pressure off. Look for them to really relish in this spoiler opportunity, push the issuing even more than usual in this spot. This is a nice number. Both teams will have relentless pressure on all night long, which will in turn offer a lot of scoring chances. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
03-26-18 | Lakers v. Pistons -4.5 | 106-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Detroit Pistons -4.5 The Detroit Pistons are fighting hard to the end. I like the way this team is playing defense of late. They aren't giving up despite having virtually no shot at getting to the playoffs. Detroit ranks in the top five in the NBA in defense in their last 8 games. The Lakers enter this game badly beaten up. Brandon Ingram is unlikely to play here and Julius Randle might miss this one as well. Both of those guys have been huge for this team this season. Isaiah Thomas is expected to miss this game as well. Thomas has been a pretty good option on offense for the Lakers since joining the team. Lonzo Ball is a very good player, but he isn't a scorer first, and he has to try to be that when all the rest of these guys are banged up. The Pistons defense should win them this one and get the cover. Back Detroit. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-25-18 | Bruins v. Wild -110 | 2-1 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
Minnesota -110 The Wild at a PK price at home have value here. Minnesota has been a team that simply is a struggle to beat when playing inside their own building. This season, the Wild have gone 25-6-6-1 inside Xcel Energy Arena. They have been able to really fluster opponents back lines with their relentless pressure on net. Minnesota is a team that will attack and keep their foot on the gas. Averaging 3.32 goals per game at home, they will put a flurry of shots on net per possession and really crash the goal. Boston meanwhile has struggled on Sundays for whatever reason. They come into this one just 1-6 in their last 7 Sunday affairs. Some trends to note. Wild are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Wild are 7-1 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Grab the home side here. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||
03-25-18 | Duke -3 v. Kansas | 81-85 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
Duke -3 The Blue Devils laying the points here have value on Sunday afternoon. Duke has proved a lot here throughout this tournament, as they are a lot to handle on both sides of the floor. Offensively, they can hoist it from anywhere. This team has a surplus of weapons, which really puts the pressure on opposing defenses. With that, they can score in flurries and turn a close game, into a blowout really quickly. On top of that, this defense is suffocating. They have been able to really put the clamps down on shooters, as their height and length is just too much for opposing shooters. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games. Lay the points here. Back Duke. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-24-18 | Florida State v. Michigan -4.5 | 54-58 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 47 m | Show | |
Michigan -4 The Wolverines laying the points here are a nice move for us on Saturday night. Both of these teams deserve a lot of credit as they've had to grind their way to get here. However, this one comes down to the pace and defensive play of the Wolverines. They have been able to dictate things from the outset in almost every game dating back to the Big Ten Tourney. They like to slow things down and really take teams out of their element almost. They'll make them extremely uncomfortable and shake their rhythm, something not a lot of teams are able to too. Along with that, Michigan is just too deep for this Florida State team. They can hit you with so many different weapons on both sides of the floor, both inside and out. Look for that to be the major key here, as they can create a lot of open looks on the offensive end, while not giving up anything easy on the defensive side. Some trends to note. Wolverines are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Wolverines are 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Lay the points. Back Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-24-18 | Hornets v. Mavs OVER 214.5 | 102-98 | Loss | -102 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
Hornets vs. Mavericks over 214.5 The Charlotte Hornets showed they are capable of some huge things on the offensive end with their amazing 140-79 shellacking of the Grizzlies in their last contest. They aren't going to score 140 here, but I do think their offense should get going pretty well here against a Mavericks defense that doesn't care right now. The Mavericks are typically known for solid defense, but this is a team that is looking to tank right now, and that is a recipe for some bad defense. They'll continue to try on offense, but the defensive intensity drops down in a big way. Charlotte has pushed the tempo much more of late. The Hornets rank in the top five in the league in pace of play in their last 10 contests. An up and down game where both teams get a lot of easy looks. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-24-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Kansas State UNDER 126.5 | 78-62 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
Loyola vs. Kansas State Under 126.5 This number is low for a reason. With the way both teams play on the defensive side of the ball, this Under makes a lot of sense. The Wildcats in particular have been in absolute lock down mode lately. Kansas State has got this far with their interior defense not allowing anything easy in the paint and they have been in the face of every single shooter. Overall on the season, the Wildcats are giving up just 66.7 points per game, one of the best marks in the nation. Loyola has been up to the challenge as well. They have conceded 62.6 points per contest and they too are a team that won't give anything open to opposing shooters. Look for this pace to be extremely slow, given how both teams are so physical and in your face. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-23-18 | Texas Tech v. Purdue -1.5 | 78-65 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 22 m | Show | |
Purdue -1.5 The Boilermakers have been forgotten by some after Isaac Haas went down, but this is not a team to count out by any means. The depth of the Boilermakers is certainly there and this team showed that off against Butler in their Round of 32 win. Purdue utilized a lot of different weapons and had many different players step up, both inside and out. Purdue matches up well with Texas Tech here, who will struggle with this defense. The Boilermakers give up just 65 points per game, allowing almost nothing easy. They have the height and speed to really give opposing offenses fits. Some trends to note. Red Raiders are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Red Raiders are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. This is just simply a mismatch. Look for Purdue to really cause a lot of issues for the Red Raiders on both sides of the ball. Back Purdue. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-23-18 | Celtics +6.5 v. Blazers | 105-100 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Boston Celtics +6.5 The Boston Celtics are still a solid defensive team, and for them to be catching seven points in Portland is just too many. Portland is coming off a big game against Houston where they came up just short in a big game. With the Celtics missing so many stars, I think this is less of a game that Portland will have circled. Portland definitely wants to get out with a win, but the margin is the question mark here. The Celtics still have the best defensive efficiency rating in the NBA for the season. Boston isn't a team that is going to lose by large margins very often. Brad Stevens is unquestionably one of the best coaches in the NBA. He's also led his teams to be great against the number on the road. Portland is the better team in their current standing, but this line is too high. Back the Celtics. Good Luck, Razor Ray.
