09-24-21 | Nationals v. Reds OVER 9 | 7-8 | Win | 103 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nationals/Reds OVER. I am on the over in the Washington Nationals vs Cincinnati Reds game on Friday. The Nats have been scoring a lot of runs in their games lately. They have scored 7 runs themselves in 3/4 games of their last 4. Paolo Espino (5-5, 3.94 ERA) is starting for them and he has been involved in a lot of high scoring games when he pitches. In his last 10 starts, 7/10 of them have had 9+ runs total in them. He has a history this season of pitching a few good games back to back but then gets blown up and it has been a steady trend throughout the year. He has only allowed 1 run in his last 2 starts combines but allowed 5 in the start before those 2. I expect him to have a bad game and allow quite a few runs here. The Reds have also had a few high scoring games themselves lately. Sonny Gray (7-8, 3.84 ERA) is starting here and he has started to show some cracks lately. In his last 4 starts, he has allowed 2+ runs in each. He has also been allowing more runs in each game after during that time while his allowed hits have gone up too and his strikeouts have decreased in each game over his last 4 starts. I expect both of these pitchers to give up some runs in this one so I am on the over here. T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Reds. | |||||||
09-23-21 | Marshall +7 v. Appalachian State | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 30 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marshall. I like the Marshall to cover the spread against Appalachian State on Thursday. Marshall has not had any troubles of offense this season, scoring almost 40 points in every single game. Their offense is spread out evenly as they have a good running game and passing game that they can use to move the ball down the field well. They suffered their first loss of the season last week against East Carolina, losing that one by 4. App State has also looked good on offense as they have been scoring some points in their games. Their 1 loss came against Miami by 2 points. The last time these 2 teams played was last year and Marshall won that game 17-7. This will be a game that both teams are going to get up for so I like it to stay close as I think no one is going to pull away by a lot here. Marshall will also be looking to repeat the result from last year. Both teams are strong enough where their goals for the season are to win their own conference titles. I expect this game to be close between 2 good offensive teams here so I like Marshall to cover. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 App State. | |||||||
09-23-21 | Mariners v. A's UNDER 8.5 | 6-5 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mariners/Athletics UNDER. I am on the under in the Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics game on Thursday. There has been less than 9 runs in the Mariners last 4 games, including the 3 games they have played against the A's in this series. Yusei Kikuchi (7-9, 4.32 ERA) is starting and he has not been good lately but I expect him to make a bounce back start here. The A's have had less than 9 runs in their last 5 games. Chris Bassit (12-4, 3.22 ERA) is starting for the A's and he has been solid lately not allowing more than 3 runs in his last 4 starts. I don't think the Mariners will be able to put up a ton of runs on the A's in this one with Bassit starting and the A's have not really been hitting the ball well lately. I like this game to stay under the posted total here. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Athletics. | |||||||
09-22-21 | Mariners v. A's -133 | 4-1 | Loss | -133 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletic on Wednesday to win over the Seattle Mariners. The Athletics are on a 2 game losing streak right now, both of those losses coming against the Mariners in this series. The A's had a bit of a lead over them for the Wild Card but are now tied after dropping those games. Both teams are now 3 games out of the Wild Card which makes these last 2 games even more important. Cole Irvin (10-13, 4.94 ERA) is starting and he has been playing well since getting blown up on the mound 3 starts ago. He has allowed 2 runs and 1 run in his last 2 starts and has gone deep into those games as well, at least the 6th inning in both. The Mariners are riding a 3 game winning streak coming into this one but I think their good fortune has run out here. Chris Flexen (12-6, 3.66 ERA) is starting and he has not looked good lately. He has allowed 9 total runs in his last 3 starts. Not only that, but he has allowed 4+ hits in each of his last 12 starts and allowing a lot of hits in a game has been a common theme for him all season. If the A's get that many hits off of him and get on base they are going to make the Mariners pay here. They have a Wild Card position on the line so I expect them to come out and get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Athletics. | |||||||
09-21-21 | Mets +130 v. Red Sox | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Mets. I like the New York Mets to beat the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. The Mets are 6 games behind Atlanta for the NL East and they are 7.5 games out of the Wild Card. They had lost 5 in a row before winning on Sunday. The Red Sox are still fighting in a tight race for a Wild Card and I like the Mets to play spoiler here. Marcus Stroman (9-12, 2.88 ERA) has been a reliable pitcher all season. He only allows 3+ runs every one and a while and usually they are no more than 4 runs. Only 3 of his last 12 starts has had 3 or 4 earned runs for him. Eduardo Rodriguez (11-8, 5.00 ERA) has not been the greatest this season and he has been getting touched a lot in his last few starts. The Red Sox have won 5 in a row and I think that streak ends here. Stroman is going to pitch a lights out game and shut down the Red Sox. All there is left for them to do is spoil and that starts here with a win over Boston on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mets. | |||||||
09-20-21 | Lions v. Packers OVER 48.5 | 17-35 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Lions/Packers OVER. I am on the over in the Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers game on Monday. The Lions lost their game last week but they a put in a very good effort. They were down 31-10 at the half in that game. That alone is 41 total points in the 1st half but they did not just lay down and die after. They kept fighting and cut that lead down as they ended up losing 41-33 in a very high scoring game. Jared Goff loves to throw the ball and he is still figuring out the weapons he has in Detroit so I expect him to be throwing the ball from the start of the game trying to take advantage of what looked like a very bad Green Bay team in week 1. He will want to score as many points as he can quickly before the Packers find their footing. The Packers only scored 3 points in week 1 and now Rodgers will be under fire a bit needing to put on a good show here before people start to speculate what issues are going on over in Green Bay. He will be able to put up some points early and throughout the whole game against a Lions defense that did not look good allowing 41 points in week 1. The Packers defense also looked like swiss cheese in week 1 so the Lions will be able to score here as well. This one could turn into a shootout going back and forth so I am on the over. T.M. Prediction: 21-14 Packers. | |||||||
09-20-21 | Orioles v. Phillies -1.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5. I like the Philadelphia Phillies on the runline against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Phillies have just 1 loss in their last 5 and 2 of those have been by 2+ runs. Ranger Suarez (6-4, 1.50 ERA) is starting and he has pitched in 36 different games this season, both as a starter and as a reliever. He has only allowed more than 2 runs in 1 of those appearances all year. The Orioles are currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing all of those by 2+ runs. John Means (5-7, 3.41 ERA) is starting for Baltimore and they have not won in his last 8 starts. The Phillies are playing much better right now and they really need to win every game here. Theyit just 3.5 games out of a wildcard spot but they are also just 2 games behind the Braves for the division lead. They have a real chance to make the playoffs here with either route so I like them to turn it on in this game and win by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Phillies. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Chiefs v. Ravens OVER 55 | 35-36 | Win | 100 | 106 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ravens/Chiefs OVER. I am on the over in the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday night football. The Ravens were upset in their first game of the season in Las Vegas with a 33-27 loss in OT, that game going over the total. The Ravens played well on offense as Lamar Jackson threw for 235 yards and 1 touchdown. He also had 86 rushing yards and Ty'Son Williams also stepped up with 65 rushing yards. Sammy Watkins and Marquise Brown both made an impact on the receiving end, finally giving this Baltimore team some solid targets to throw the ball to. The Chiefs won their first game of the season 33-29 in a game that they were almost upset in as they trailed to Cleveland most of the time. That game went over the total as well. Patrick Mahomes had a great game throwing for 337 yards and 3 touchdowns. They did not have much of a run game in that one but their receivers went off as Tyreek Hill was just 3 yards short of having a 200 yard day in receiving. This is a Chiefs team that loves to throw the ball and will try to come out in this game with a big lead after trailing in their last. The Ravens will also want to come out and get a good start on offense as they could not rely on their defense in the last game. Both of these teams can easily score 20+ points in this game and will want to show off here in prime time as these are 2 of the best teams in the AFC. I love this game to go over the total. T.M. Prediction: 35-28 Chiefs. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Indians v. Yankees OVER 8.5 | 11-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indians/Yankees OVER. I am on the over in the Cleveland Indians vs New York Yankees game on Sunday. The Indians have some high scoring games lately. They have seen 8+ runs total in their last 4 games. Eli Morgan (2-7, 6.03 ERA) has also been involved in some high scoring affairs lately. His last 4 starts have seen 7+ runs total in them. He allowed 7 earned runs in his last time out and only played in a little more than 4 innings. Both of the 1st 2 games in this series both had 8+ runs in them. Gerrit Cole (15-7, 2.75 ERA) is starting and he has pitched well lately but his team has also been backing him up with lots of run support. The Yankees lost 11-3 to the Indians yesterday and have now put them in a position where they sit on the outside looking in just a half game out of the wildcard position. They will be looking to avenge that big loss and ensure they win this game with lots of runs to help boost their playoff chances. I like this game to go over the total here. T.M. Prediction: 10-4 Yankees. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Patriots v. Jets OVER 43 | 25-6 | Loss | -101 | 35 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Patriots/Jets OVER. I am on the over in the New England Patriots vs New York Jets game on Sunday. Both of these teams were involved in very low scoring games in their 1st games of the regular season. Both of these teams also had rookie quarterbacks making their NFL debuts in week 1. Now that they have each got 1 game under their belt and know what it's like to play in a real NFL game, I expect their to be more scoring in this game as both coaches open up the playbook more. Mac Jones showed us in the preseason that he has earned the right to be a starter and can move the ball well and score some points. He should have a much better game here as he will learn from the experience of that 1st game. Zach Wilson also had some good flashes in that first game as he threw for 250+ yards in that game. They did not run the ball much either in that game as they went more pass heavy. Both of these quarterbacks are going to want to throw the ball a lot in this game so I like the over here as I think we will see some touchdowns from both. The total is pretty low here as well so I am on the OVER in this one. T.M. Prediction: 27-20 Patriots. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Rams -3.5 v. Colts | 27-24 | Loss | -108 | 34 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The Rams looked good in week 1 with their new quarterback Matthew Stafford. He threw for 300+ yards and had 3 touchdown passes in the game as his team scored 34 points. He also had some really good targets in Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson on the receiving side. The Colts looked disappointing in their game in week 1. They lost at home to the Seahawks and only managed to put up 16 points in the process. Carson Wentz didn't play a bad game but he has no wide receivers to throw the ball to. Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines led the team in both rushing yards and receiving yards. You cannot run an NFL offense like that and it will not go very far if it continues. The Rams have the good QB and the weapons surrounding him in both the running and receiving. The Colts already suffered a big loss at home in week 1 and they will be sufferring from another in week 2. The spread is small here but the Rams will win this game by at least a touchdown. I like the Rams to cover. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Rams. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Raiders v. Steelers -6 | 26-17 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The Steelers went on the road in week 1 as an underdog and not only did they cover the spread, they came out of that game with the upset victory and it was in Buffalo. The Bills have a very good team this year on both offense and defense. The Steelers were able to go into Buffalo and hold their good offense to just 16 points. The Steelers themselves have a very good defense. The Raiders also came away with their own upset in week 1 on Monday night football. They were at home for that game though, and Derek Carr threw for 400+ yards in their new stadium. He will not be able to do that here on the road in Pittsburgh against this defense. They will struggle to move the ball all day against this team, possibly the best defense in the NFL right now. Big Ben will find ways to move the ball down the field in this game as the Raiders do not have a great defense. I like the Steelers here at home to get the job done and cover this spread. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Steelers. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Bengals +2.5 v. Bears | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Bengals won their home opener against the Vikings in OT last week. That was a game where the Bengals led for most of the game. Joe Burrow played well throwing for 250+ yards and did not have any interceptions. The Bears lost their first game of the season by 20 in LA against the Rams. They will be at home for this game but it really doesn't matter where they are playing the game, because Andy Dalton is still the starting quarterback. He was awful in the preseason and, although he played a bit better in week 1, he still got nothing going for this offense. I have said it already that this Bears team is going to be a bet against as long as Andy Dalton is still the starter. Justin Fields is a much better player in the game for the team and until the Dalton anchor is lifted, this team will be going no where. The Bears failed to cover an 8.5 point spread last week while the Bengals not only covered the spread, but they came out with an upset win. I like the Bengals in another upset win here in this game. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Bengals. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Tulane v. Ole Miss OVER 76 | 21-61 | Win | 100 | 18 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss/Tulane OVER. I am on the over in the Ole Miss vs Tulane game on Saturday. Ole Miss has looked good in their first 2 games scoring 40+ points in each. Matt Corral has looked good in these games throwing for 280+ yards in 1 game and 380+ yards in their other game. Their run game has been good but they have leaned more on the pass in these 2 games. More passing means more scoring and quicker drives. Tulane put up 69 points in their last game against Morgan State, but in their first game they managed to put 35 up on Oklahoma. Tulane has also been leaning more on the passing game than the run game as they almost have 600 passing yards in these 2 games now. They will likely be playing this game from behind as well so they will have to throw the ball to try and play catch-up. Both of these teams will keep throwing the ball all game and driving up the score here. I like this game to go over the total in a very high scoring affair. T.M. Prediction: 54-32 Ole Miss. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Auburn v. Penn State UNDER 53 | 20-28 | Win | 100 | 82 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Auburn/PSU UNDER. I am on the under in the Auburn Tigers and Penn State Nittany Lions game on Saturday. Auburn won their first 2 games of the season scoring 60+ points in each of those games. They were up against Akron and Alabama State, both teams who have an awful defense. They did not throw the ball much in their last game as their 2 QBs had less than 200 yards passing combined. They had 2 running backs both with over 100 yards rushing each. PSU is 2-0 to start the season, they scored 44 points in their last win against a bad Ball State team but in their first game against a good Wisconsin team, that game stayed under in a 16-10 win for the Nittany Lions. PSU's offense has been even all around as they have a level run game and passing game. Both of these teams have a very good defense as neither have allowed more than 13 points scored against them in a single game this season. Both teams will want to set the tone with their run game which will eat up a lot of the clock. I expect this to be a low scoring game that stays under this total. T.M. Prediction: 20-13 Penn State. | |||||||
09-18-21 | White Sox -1.5 v. Rangers | 1-2 | Loss | -130 | 17 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox +1.5. I like the Chicago White Sox on the run line against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. The White Sox had lost 2 games in a row before pounding the Rangers 8-0 on Friday night. Lance Lynn (10-4, 2.50 ERA) is starting for the White Sox and he will be pitching up against his old team in this game. Lynn has been having a very good season this year. He has had a few blowups but for the most part he has been a solid pitcher who does not allow many runs. He has allowed more than 1 run in a game just once in his last 4 starts. The Rangers have lost their last 3 games by 5+ runs in each. Spencer Howard (0-4, 7.38 ERA) is starting and he has not been good. There has been 2 occasions in his last 3 starts where he allowed 5+ runs in the game. This game is in Texas and I think Lance Lynn is going to put on a show in front of his old team here. I like the White Sox to win this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 White Sox. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Arkansas State v. Washington -16 | 3-52 | Win | 100 | 78 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Huskies. I like the Washington Huskies to cover the spread against Arkansas State on Saturday. Washington are a big favorite in this game and will need to bounce back after losing their first 2 games of the season now. They lost their last game to Michigan and will be looking to get their first win of the season here. Dylan Morris was not too accurate in the passing game but still threw for 293 yards and 1 touchdown in that game. They did not establish any run game though as Michigan played very well on defense. They should be able to run the ball in this game though as they will set the tone and pace of the game early. Arkansas State are 1-1 on the season after losing their last game to Memphis. They scored 50 points in that loss to Memphis but Memphis does not have the greatest defense out there. Washington is much better on defense and should be able to stop the Red Wolves from moving the ball up the field and scoring touchdowns. The Red Wolves threw the ball a lot and did not have much of a run game at all. The Huskies have a great pass defense though as they have allowed just 150 passing yards total against them through 2 games. Washington has something to prove here after 2 bad losses so I expect the defense to play a good game as they run up the score on Arkansas State. Washington covers the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-13 Washington. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Georgia Southern v. Arkansas -22.5 | 10-45 | Win | 100 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas. I like Arkansas to cover the spread against Georgia Southern on Saturday. Arkansas has been having a very good start to the season. They blew out Rice by 21 points in week 1 and then blew out Texas by 19 in a monster upset win for them. Now they get a bad Georgia Southern team at home for their 3rd straight game. Georgia Southern won their game in week 1 by 5 points against a team from the FCS. Fast forward to week 2 when they have an opponent from the FBS and they get slaughtered 38-6 by a weak FAU team. If Georgia Southern is losing to FAU by 30+ points then they don't stand a chance here. Arkansas has already pulled off a big upset against a ranked Texas team and will still be at home for this game with their fans filling the stadium. This is going to be a huge blowout for the Razorbacks. Their offense was very balanced with both their passing and their rushing. Give me Arkansas to cover this large spread. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Arkansas. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Virginia Tech +2.5 v. West Virginia | 21-27 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Virginia Tech. I like Virginia Tech to cover the spread against West Virginia on Saturday. Virginia Tech started their year off on the right foot. They played a tough UNC team at home and came away with the 7 point victory. Then they got a weaker opponent in Middle Tennessee and they blew them out by about 20 points. West Virginia got a monster win by 66 points against LIU last week but when they played a tougher opponent in week 1 with Maryland, they ended up losing by 6. They did not get much of a run game going against Maryland and Doege struggled in that game turning the ball over twice. Braxton Burmeister has been the better quarterback through 2 games so I like the Hokies to cover this spread in an upset win in this rivalry game between 2 Virginia teams. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Virginia Tech. | |||||||
09-17-21 | Maryland v. Illinois +7 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Illinois. I like Illinois to cover the spread against Maryland on Friday. Illinois is 1-2 this season but that 1 win came at the start of the season in a conference game against their Big 10 opponent Nebraska. Illinois was at home for that game and came in as the underdog coming out of the game with the 8 point win. Their offense did not play great in their last game against UVA but that one was on the road. So far, Illinois is 1-1 at home but has managed to put up a good fight in each game scoring 30 points in both. The game they lost at home to UTSA was by 7 points which is what the spread is in this game currently. Maryland is 2-0 but have not really faced any tough competition yet. This will be their 1st conference game of the year, not only that but, this will also be their 1st road game of the year as well. Illinois has already shown that they can play well at home and against these conference opponents. Maryland has been good this season but are here in their 1st conference game and their 1st road game as well. Give me the points with the home team as Illinois will cover this spread in a close game. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Maryland. | |||||||
09-17-21 | Mariners v. Royals +1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -155 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals +1.5. I like the Kansas City Royals on the run line against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. The Royals have now lost 2 games straight but they put in a very good effort against the A's. They lost 2 of the 3 games in that series but still put up 10 runs themselves in 2 of those. They were really trying to spoil the A's playoff hopes and with the Mariners slipping a bit now 4 games out of a wild card spot, they will be looking to spoil here as well. Brady Singer was supposed to get the start here, but he's out for undisclosed reasons and Jon Heasley will get his big league debut here. He's been amazing in the minors, as he's posted a 3.33 ERA and 120:34 K:BB in 105.1 innings across 22 starts at Double-A this season. The Mariners just took a big hit to their playoff hopes losing a very important series to the Red Sox. Chris Flexen (11-6, 3.73 ERA) is starting and he has now had 2 shaky starts in a row, allowing 3 earned runs and 5 earned runs in his last 2 starts. With the pressure mounting for them as the season closes, they now have to win this series on the road to have a chance. I like the worry free Royals here on the run line to get the upset win at home. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Royals. | |||||||
09-16-21 | Giants +3.5 v. Washington Football Team | 29-30 | Win | 100 | 34 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Giants. I like the New York Giants to cover the spread here against the Washington Football Team on Thursday night football. The Giants lost their first game of the season to the Broncos 27-13 at home and they did not establish much of a run game in that one. They have a very good running back on their team in Saquon Barkley and I expect him to have a much better game here. Daniel Jones also played alright throwing for 267 passing yards and 1 touchdown. He also has 3 solid receivers to throw to in Shepard, Slayton, and Golladay. Washington lost their first game of the season to the Chargers 20-16 and they lost their starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in that game. Taylor Heinicke will be the starter and he played most of the game last week in that loss. He does have some NFL experience but he has been sort of a journeyman throughout his career, never really finding a home for himself. The receiving corps on this team are not the strongest either so he will not have a lot of big playmakers helping him out here putting more pressure on him to make the plays. This game is on Thursday so neither team get a lot of time to prepare and this is a divisional matchup too. This game is very important as the NFC East is wide open and has been for years for anyone to take and just dominate it so I expect this to be a very close game instead of a blowout for one side. I like the Giants to cover here. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Giants. | |||||||
09-16-21 | Padres +1.5 v. Giants | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres +1.5. I like the San Diego Padres on the run line against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. The Padres finally got a win yesterday snapping their 5 game losing streak and avoiding the sweep from these Giants. They scored 9 runs in that game which was needed from their offense as they have been falling lately and are currently not in a wildcard spot. They are on the outside looking in just 1 game behind the Cardinals and have a half game lead over the Reds. Pierce Johnson (3-3, 2.98 ERA) is starting for the Padres and this will be his 2nd start of the season as the Padres will be using the bullpen in this one. Kevin Gausman (14-5, 2.65 ERA) is up for the Giants and he has allowed 3 runs in each of his last 2 starts. I expect him to get beat up on the mound today now that the Padres have found their bats. This is a desperate team right now and will need to do everything they can making sure they win every game for the rest of the season if they want to see themselves in the postseason. I like them to win here or at least keep it close so I am on the run line in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Padres. | |||||||
09-15-21 | A's -135 v. Royals | Top | 12-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletics to beat the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The A's have now lost 3 games straight and they desperately need a win here as they find themselves 3.5 games out of a wildcard spot. Sean Manaea (9-9, 3.79 ERA) is starting for them and he has been solid lately. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 2 starts and was awarded with a win in his last time out. The Royals have lost just 1 game in their last 5 but I think it's time for the spoiling to stop here. They are way out of playoff contention and will have Mike Minor (8-12, 5.05 ERA) starting in this game. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 2 starts but he allowed 3+ in each of his 5 straight starts before that and that has been a common theme for him all year. The Royals have actually lost the last 7 straight games that Minor has pitched in. This is a must win for the A's as they cannot afford to fall any further behind in this wildcard race. I like them to win this game and defeat the Royals on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Athletics. | |||||||
09-15-21 | Rays v. Blue Jays -165 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. The Blue Jays lost in their last game 2-0 to the Rays after winning 4 games straight. That was just their 2nd loss in the month of September. Robbie Ray (11-5, 2.69 ERA) is starting here and he has been solid all year for the Jays. He has been credited with 3 straight wins when there was a decision and has only allowed more than 2 runs scored against him once in his last 9 starts, that being his last start where he allowed 3 runs. The Rays took game 2 of this series but that was just their 2nd win in their last 6 games. Michael Wacha (3-4, 5.37 ERA) is starting for them and he has been good in his last 3 starts but that actually ended a run where he was allowing 4+ runs per game. The Rays have cooled off a bit lately, despite getting the win yesterday, they have scored just 3 runs in their last 2 games. The Jays have been doing something incredible lately, not counting yesterday they have scored 52 runs in just 4 games and that good hitting run stretches back even further over the past few weeks. The Jays are hot right now and are looking to hold down a wildcard spot while the Rays pretty much have the division locked up here. I have to ride the Blue Jays here. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Blue Jays. | |||||||
09-14-21 | Reds -154 v. Pirates | 5-6 | Loss | -154 | 12 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Reds. I like the Cincinnati Reds to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The Reds have just lost 2 very important games to the Cardinals and now sit in the final wildcard position with a 0.5 game lead over the Padres. They are playing a very bad Pirates team and must take advantage here getting every single win they can against them as the regular season winds down. Wade Miley (12-5, 2.89 ERA) is starting for the Reds and he has been pretty good. Besides 1 bad start in his last 5, he has not allowed more than 2 runs in a game in that span. The Pirates have just 2 losses in their last 6 but they were playing the Tigers and the Nats, not the best teams in the league. Cincinnati is the first playoff contender they have seen in over a week. Dillon Peters (0-2, 3.38 ERA) is starting for the Pirates and he has played in just 4 games all season. He allowed 5 runs in his last 2 starts and did not make it past the 5th inning in any of his starts this year. The Reds are a much better team and they need all of these wins in this series. The Pirates are 1 of the worst teams in the MLB so i like the Reds to win here and keep their playoff hopes alive. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Reds. | |||||||
09-14-21 | Indians v. Twins -117 | 3-1 | Loss | -117 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins. I like the Minnesota Twins to beat the Cleveland Indians in game 1 of the double header on Tuesday. The Twins have just 1 win in their last 5 and they blew a 5 run lead to the Yankees going on to lose in their last game. They faced Cleveland about a week ago in a 4 game series and they took 3 of those games. Joe Ryan (1-1, 2.25 ERA) is starting and he has only played in 2 MLB games in his career this season. His last start was against the Indians and he got credit for the win as he went on to allow no earned runs in that game and just the 1 hit. The Indians were just swept by the Brewers with their last win coming against the Twins, that being their only win in their last 7 games. Triston McKenzie (4-6, 4.44 ERA) is starting and he has been decent lately. His last start was against the Twins and he allowed 1 run on 3 hits and was credited with the loss in that one. The Indians have not looked good at all lately while the Twins are at least scoring some runs. They already won the series against them last week 3 games to win and I think the Twins are taking this game 1 on Tuesday as well. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Twins. | |||||||
09-13-21 | Red Sox v. Mariners +115 | 4-5 | Win | 115 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The Mariners have lost 2 in a row now after winning 2 in a row. Logan Gilbert (5-5, 5.10 ERA) is starting for them and he has pitched well in his last 2 starts. He has only allowed 2 earned runs in his last 2 starts. The Red Sox have not been playing well lately. They have now only put together 2 wins in 7 games. Eduardo Rodriguez (11-8, 5.15 ERA) is starting in this game and he has struggled in his last few starts. He has allowed 14 earned runs in his last 4 starts. He allowed 6 of those in his last start and I expect him to have another bad game here as the pressure starts to build for the Red Sox. Seattle is just 3 games out of a wildcard spot and will come to play hard for this win. The Red Sox are in the 2nd wild card spot now as the Jays have passed them and they will be struggling to cling to that with the way they are playing now. The Mariners take the win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Mariners. | |||||||
09-13-21 | Ravens v. Raiders +4.5 | 27-33 | Win | 100 | 102 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas Raiders. I like the Las Vegas Raiders to cover the spread against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. The Raiders looked pretty good in the preseason and they did not have many of their starters on the field. Derek Carr has made some improvements at practice and is looking like a much better quarterback now and I think he will translate that to the game. The Ravens looked good in the preseason but they played teams that were not playing any starters. They will have to travel to Vegas for this game and I think the Raiders will want to put a show on in front of their home fans. Raiders get the cover here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Ravens. | |||||||
09-13-21 | Cardinals v. Mets UNDER 8 | 7-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mets/Cardinals UNDER. I am on the under in the St. Louis Cardinals vs New York Mets game on Monday. The Cardinals have had 3/4 games go under in their last 4. Adam Wainwright (15-7, 2.98 ERA) is starting for them and he has been great all year. He got blown up a bit in his last start allowing 4 earned runs but he has been solid this season allowing no more than 2 earned runs in 6 starts straight before that. The Mets have gone over in every game of their last series against the Yankees but i don't expect that to continue here as they had some low scoring games in the 2 series prior to that. Rich Hill (6-6, 3.82 ERA) is starting for them and he has been great since coming over from the Rays. He has only allowed more than 3 runs in 1/9 games he has started in for the Mets since joining. This will be a tense game as the Cards are just 1 game back of the wild card while the Mets are just 3 games out. This series becomes that much more important so this should be a pitching duel keeping this game under the total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Cardinals. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Bears v. Rams -7.5 | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 78 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. The Rams acquired Matt Stafford in a trade during the offseason and they will be eager to test him out in this game. He defintely has some better weapons here in LA than he did in Detroit and he was already a great quarterback over there, a bright spot on a dull team. He should get this eplosive offense moving again especially with Sean McVay calling the plays. The Bears have insisted that Andy Dalton will be the starting quarterback for them in the regular season and he has done nothing but look awful in the preseason. The offense clearly runs better with Justin Fields at the helm and until they make that change the Bears will be a bet aginst team so I like the Rams to cover in a blowout fashion. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Rams. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Marlins v. Braves UNDER 8.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marlins/Braves UNDER. I am on the under in the Miami Marlins vs Atlanta Braves game on Sunday. The Marlins did go over in their last game but went under this posted total in 3 straight before that one. Edward Cabrera (0-1, 7.11 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Marlins and he has struggled in his 3 starts this year. He has only played in 3 games though so I expect him to put in a much better effort here and pitch a good game. The Braves have had quite a few games go over in their last 10 but I think that trend ends here. Max Fried (11-7, 3.42 ERA) is starting for the Braves and he has been great lately. He has only allowed 3+ runs on 1 occasion in his last 8 games. He also usually goes 6+ innings deep into the game so he will be sticking around for a while in this one especially if he is having a great game. I expect him to pitch very well here so I like the under in this one as it should be low scoring. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Braves. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Brewers -1.5 v. Indians | 11-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers -1.5. I like the Milwaukee Brewers on the runline on Sunday over the Cleveland Indians. The Brewers have really started to destroy teams as we get closer to the playoffs with 3 of their last 4 games being won by 2+ runs. Brandon Woodruff (9-8, 2.48 ERA) is starting on the mound for them and he has been great all season. He struggled a bit in his last time out but I'm expecting a bounce back here. He has allowed 4+ runs on just 2 occasions in his last 10 starts. The Indians have not been playing well lately. They have just 1 win in their last 5, all 4 of those losses coming by 2+ runs. Aaron Civale (10-3, 3.25 ERA) is starting in this one and he has pitched well in his last 2 starts but he also had 3 rocky starts in his last 6 where he allowed 4+ runs. Woodruff is more consistent at the moment and the Brewers are hitting the ball very well scoring 13 runs already in just 2 games of this series against Cleveland. The Indians have only been able to put up 3 runs this series and all came in 1 game, getting shutout completely in their last. I like the Brewers -1.5 here. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Brewers. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Vikings v. Bengals +3 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 71 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Bengals did not look that bad in the preseason and their starters were not even playing in most of the games. Now they will have Joe Burrow at the helm for week 1 with some good young pieces at receiver and running back that he can work with. The Vikings did not look good at all in the preseason and even though they did not have many starters playing either, it was the defense that looked like it needed some improvement. Joe Burrow is an electric player and now with some NFL experience under his belt, he should be able to have a breakout season. I expect him to come out and make a statement here in their first game of the season at home. The Bengals have a chance to even upset the Vikings in this game so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-21 Bengals. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Chargers +1 v. Washington Football Team | 20-16 | Win | 100 | 71 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. The LA Chargers did not look too good in the preseason but we did not get to see Justin Herbert even hit the field. He will be the starter in week 1 and he had a great season last year. He will continue that great play into this season now that he has some valuable experience as an NFL starter. His team also has a good running game to back him up and he has some veteran wide receivers that can make the big plays in the passing game. The Washington Football Team has a goo defense and some good quarterbacks but they lack some good weapons to throw the ball too. Their running game is also on the weaker side so they will need to play very well in the passing game to move the ball. The Chargers are more well rounded on their offense so I expect them to win this game here on the road. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Chargers. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Jaguars -170 v. Texans | Top | 21-37 | Loss | -170 | 6 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jags I like the Jaguars to cover the spread against the Texans on Sunday. The Jags only won 1 game in the preseason but they put up a really good fight in one of those losses only losing the game by 2 points. Trevor Lawrence looked really good in those games and he did not throw a single interception either. He will be the starting quarterback going forward and he should be able to run this offense very well with the pieces he has at running back and wide receiver. The Texans did alright in the preseason winning 2 of their games but Tyrod Taylor will be the starter for the regular season. He did not get a lot of work in this preseason and he probably should have considering he has not been a starter on a team in a while. Taylor is not a bad QB but I think he will be a bit rusty in this game and Houston does not have the best weapons to work with. Lawrence is younger and very skilled, he will be able to command his offense well so the Jags should cover the spread in this one. T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Jaguars | |||||||
09-11-21 | San Diego State +2.5 v. Arizona | 38-14 | Win | 100 | 57 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego State Aztechs. I like the SDSU Aztechs to cover the spread against the Arizona Wldcats on Saturday. The Aztechs won their first game of the season and their offense was pretty good, especially in the run game. They only had 100+ passing yards in that game but they put up 200+ rushing yards and played a good defensive game as well. Arizona lost their first game to BYU but their quarterback played well with 300+ receiving yards. They had no run game in that game though and a 1 dimensional offense will be a problem against a SDSU team that has a great defense. Arizona will not be able to move the ball well on this team and SDSU is they type to grind it out on defense and win a low scoring game. Arizona is not a good team so I think that SDSU will cover this spread and can even upset them in this game. T.M. Prediction: 26-20 SDSU. | |||||||
09-11-21 | Angels v. Astros UNDER 9 | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Angels/Astros UNDER. I am on the under in the LA Angels and Houston Astros game on Saturday. The Angels have gone over the posted total in their last 2 games and I think that ends here. Jose Suarez (6-7, 3.74 ERA) and he has been pitching well lately. Only 1 game in his last 5 has gone over the total. He has also allowed more than 2 runs in just 1 of his last 5 games. The Astros have also gone over this posted total in their last 4 games. Luis Garcia (10-6, 3.29 ERA) is starting in this one and he has been pitching well lately. He has not allowed more than 3 runs in a game in his last 6 starts. Both of these pitchers have had some good starts in their last few and I think they will both have a good game here. I expect both of these little over streaks to come to an end as this game stays under the total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Astros. | |||||||
09-11-21 | NC State v. Mississippi State UNDER 55.5 | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 54 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mississippi State/NC State UNDER. I am on the under in the Mississippi State vs NC State game on Saturday. Mississippi State put up 35 points against LA Tech in their last game. They did not have much of a run game in that one but Will Rogers went off in the passing game. He will be up against a tougher defense here with NC State and is going to struggle a bit more to complete passes. He threw 1 interception in the last game and could easily get himself into trouble with turnovers. NC State put up 45 points in their first game shutting out USF but they are an awful team and have a lot of work to do. They will not have as easy of a day in this game as they did in that one. Their passing game had 200+ yards but it was their run game that ran the show with 200+ rushing yards. NC State is a slight favorite on the road here so they will try to dictate the pace of the game with that great running game. They will kill a lot of time with their play style and force longer drives which will lead to a lower scoring game. I like this one to stay under the total. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 NC State. | |||||||
09-11-21 | Iowa v. Iowa State OVER 45.5 | Top | 27-17 | Loss | -115 | 52 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa State/Iowa OVER. I am on the over in the Iowa State Cyclones vs Iowa Hawkeyes game on Saturday. Iowa State only put up 16 points in their last game and they were playing a weak Northern Iowa team. Their offense moved the ball well with 100+ rushing yards in that game and 199 passing yards. Iowa had a much better outing in their first game with a win over a strong Indiana team putting up 34 points in the process. The offense had 100+ yards in the run game and in the passing game. This will be a big rivalry game so I expect both teams to play hard here. Both will want to beat the other and that could drive up the score as 1 will want to beat the other as the game will stay close. The total is very low here for a college football game so I like this one to go over. T.M. Prediction: 30-24 Iowa State. | |||||||
09-11-21 | Oregon +14.5 v. Ohio State | 35-28 | Win | 100 | 47 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oregon Ducks. I like the Oregon Ducks to cover the spread against the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday. Oregon won against Fresno State in their last game putting up 31 points in that game. They had a good running game rushing for over 150 yards and they also had over 150 passing yards in the game. Their defense came up big in that one with lots of tackles and multiple players getting the quarterback on the pass rush. OSU beat Minnesota in their first game putting up 45 points themselves but they got off to a very slow start in that game only putting up 10 points in the first half finding themselves behind. Minnesota's defense was able to keep them at bay for the first half but that did not last long after halftime. OSU only ended up winning that game by 14 points. Oregon has a much better defense than Minnesota so they should keep this a closer game. I like them to cover the spread here and keep it close. T.M. Prediction: 34-24 OSU. | |||||||
09-11-21 | Miami-OH v. Minnesota -18 | 26-31 | Loss | -113 | 47 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Golden Gophers. I like the Minnesota Golden Gophers to cover the spread against the Miami RedHawks on Saturday. Minnesota played a good game against OSU, especially in the first half, putting up 31 total points themselves in that game. Their offense was hot in both the passing game and the run game with 200+ passing yards and 200+ rushing yards in the game against OSU. They will be up against a much weaker RedHawks team now. Miami OH got smashed by Cincinnati in their last game only putting up 14 points in that game. They did not have much going on offense at all barely passing for 100+ yards and 100+ rushing yards. They are one of the worst in the MAC and Minnesota is a very good team. They will get the cover here in a blowout fashion. T.M. Prediction: 41-10 Minnesota. | |||||||
09-10-21 | Reds -119 v. Cardinals | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Reds. I like the Cincinnati Reds to beat the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. The Reds have won just 1 game in their last 4 but I expect them to bounce back in this game. They are on the hunt for that last wildcard spot and need to get some wins in this series to gain that ground, especially with the Cardinals being just a few games back from them this series becomes that much more important. Tyler Mahle (11-5, 3.76 ERA) is their starter for this game and they have had lots of success with him on the mound this season. The Cardinals just snapped a 4 game losing streak with 2 wins over the Dodgers. Jon Lester (5-6, 4.89 ERA) is starting and he has played well since coming over to the Cardinals. The Reds have a better bullpen though, and if it comes down to it they will be able to win this game late with good pitching. I like the Reds to win here as they look to make the playoffs. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Reds. | |||||||
09-10-21 | Kansas v. Coastal Carolina OVER 52 | 22-49 | Win | 100 | 31 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: CCU/Kansas OVER. I am on the over in the Coastal Carolina vs Kansas game on Friday night. The Chanticleers put up 52 points in their first game of the season blowing out Citadel. Both their run game and passing game were rolling as they had over 200 yards rushing and over 300 yards passing in that game. Kansas only put up 17 pounts in their last game struggling to beat South Dakota. They did not have much of a running game and tended to lean on the passing that game. More passing means less clock running and more chances for plays down the field. Kansas will score enough points here to get to about 20 while Coastal Carolina, who is a ranked team, will do the rest putting up quite a few points on this bad defense. This game will go over the total from all the points scored by both teams. T.M. Prediction: 42-20 Coastal Carolina. | |||||||
09-10-21 | Brewers -1.5 v. Indians | 10-3 | Win | 110 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers -1.5. I like the Milwaukee Brewers on the runline against the Cleveland Indians on Friday. The Brewers have lost 1 game in their last 5 with 2 of those wins coming by 2+ runs. Adrian Houser (8-6, 3.41 ERA) and he has been on a roll lately. He has only had 1 game in his last 6 starts where he allowed more than 1 run and he is coming off a 9 inning shutout in his last start. I expect him to continue that great pitching in this game. The Indians are coming off a win but they had lost their 3 games before that all of them by 2+ runs. Eli Morgan (2-6, 5.48 ERA) is starting for Cleveland and he has struggled this season. He did not allow any runs in his last start but he did walk 4 batters and that will get him into trouble here against a good hitting Brewers team. The Brewers are much better and I expect them to win this game by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Brewers. | |||||||
09-09-21 | Cowboys v. Bucs OVER 51.5 | 29-31 | Win | 100 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Buccaneers/Cowboy OVER. I am on the over in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Dallas Cowboys game on Thursday night. The NFL is back and this game kicks off the start of the regular season. Tom Brady and the Bucs are the defending Super Bowl champions and they will be looking to get off to a quick start here. Dallas has struggled all preseason trying to find who they are on the field along with a temporary replacement for Dak Prescott and nothing has gone their way. They are struggling to score points on offense but at least they will have a vey good kicker in Greg Zuerlein on their side to make some long field goals for them. The Bucs will be coming out fast trying to prove that they are back and ready to win another Super Bowl. Tom Brady loves to end his first drives with a touchdown. I expect them to come out and bury this Cowboys team quickly. There should be a lot of scoring for the Bucs as they look to grab a big lead against a struggling Dallas before they find their footing. This one will go over. T.M. Prediction: 42-17 Buccaneers. | |||||||
09-09-21 | Twins v. Indians OVER 8.5 | 1-4 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Twins/Indians OVER. I am on the over in the Minnesota Twins vs Cleveland Indians game on Thursday . They have gone under in their last 3 straight and I expect that to change here. Randy Dobnak (1-7, 7.64 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has struggled all season. He allowed 5 earned runs in his last start and this has been a recurring them throughout his last 6 starts. The Indians have also gone under in their last 3 straight. Cal Quantrill (4-3, 3.15 ERA) is starting for the Indians. The last game he started in he allowed 5 earned runs as thta game shot over the total. I expect both of these pitchers to get beat up in this game so this one should fly over the total as both have not been pitching well lately. T.M. Prediction: 8-5 Indians. | |||||||
09-08-21 | Blue Jays +108 v. Yankees | 6-3 | Win | 108 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M Selection: Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the New York Yankees on Wednesday. The Blue Jays are rolling hot right now on a 6 game winning streak. They have already won 2 of the 4 games in this series and will be looking to win the series with this game. Alek Manoah (5-2, 3.63 ERA) and he has been having a decent year so far. The Jays have won the last 3 games he started in. He allowed 6 runs in his last start but the Jays still came away with the win in that one. I expect him to bounce back and pitch a good game here. The Yankees have hit a bit of a slump lately losing their last 4 games in a row. Luis Gil (1-0, 0.00 ERA) and he has not allowed a run all season but has only pitched in 3 games. The Yankees have lost 1 and won 2 when he has started. Both teams have rookie pitchers starting but Manoah has played in a lot more MLB games than Gil has and has that extra experience. The Jays are also hot with their bats so I expect them to continue to roll and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Blue Jays. | |||||||
09-07-21 | Phillies v. Brewers -100 | 0-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I lilke the Milwaukee Brewers to win against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. After winning 2 straight the Brewers fell 12-0 to the Phillies in the 1st game of this series. Eric Lauer (4-5, 3.43 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has been pitching great lately. He has not allowed 3+ runs in any of his last 10 starts except on one occasion where he allowed exactly 3. The Phillies have now won 2 games in a row. Aaron Nola (7-7, 4.54 ERA) is starting on the mound and he has ben awful this season. He allowed 6 earned runs in 4 innings played in his last start. He has had some good games this season but most of the time he allows 4+ runs in his games. The Brewers are a much better team here and they have a big advantage with the starting pitching matchup here. They will come away with the win in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Brewers. | |||||||
09-07-21 | Blue Jays +1.5 v. Yankees | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays +1.5. I like the Toronto Blue Jays on the runline against the New York Yankees on Tuesday. The Jays have won 5 in a row now. Steven Matz (10-7, 3.80 ERA) is starting on the mound and he has been really good lately. He has not allowed 2+ runs in any of his last 6 starts. The Yankees have lost 3 in a row now and their last win was by 1 run run so their last 4 games the +1.5 against them has cashed. Gerrit Cole (14-6, 2.73 ERA) is starting for the Yankees and he has also been good lately. He has not allowed more than 1 run in his last 4 starts. The Blue Jays are hitting well and winning games right now while the Yankees are in a losing slump. Both of these pitchers are pitching very well right now not allowing many runs. This will stay a close game if the Jays don't outright win it. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Yankees. | |||||||
09-06-21 | Louisville v. Ole Miss OVER 75.5 | Top | 24-43 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss/Louisville OVER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Ole Miss is going to have to rely on its offense a lot this year. I foresee it being in a lot of high-scoring games. You can expect to see a really high total attached to most of its games as well each week. Matt Corral averaged 10.2 yards per game for Ole Miss last season. Malik Cunningham will be given the green-light early and often here for the Cardinals too, who will be desperate to pull off an upset. With 14 returning starters (mostly on offense), Louisville is poised for much better and more consistent production on the offensive side of the ball. I expect an up-tempo contest, rather than a "chess match." This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
09-06-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Cardinals | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers runline (8* MONEY-MAKER). No need to overthink this one. This is a major mismatch, both on the mound and at the plate. In fact, I say the talent discrepancy between these starting pitchers absolutely warrants in laying the 1.5 runs on the Dodgers on the runline option. Miles Mikolas has a decent 14 to 5 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 16.1 innings of work. He gave up four runs over three innings to the Reds in his last outing though. Clearly, the sample size is too small for Mikolas this season to come to any conclusive conclusions. Max Scherzer on the other hand has posted a 1.29 ERA, a 0.77 WHIP and a 50 to 5 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 35 innings for his new team, going 4-0 in that span. Enough said! The play is LA on the runline! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 LA. | |||||||
09-06-21 | Blue Jays +119 v. Yankees | Top | 8-0 | Win | 119 | 5 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* TRADE-MARK). Do or die. Now or never. Use whatever cliche phrase you want, but this is a truly massive series for the Toronto Blue Jays. The two teams ahead of them in the standings for the Wildcard spot are the A's and the Yanks, and Toronto just swept Oakland at home over the weekend. New York has been trending in the other direction of late, as it's lost seven of its last ten, including two in a row. Both Jays' starter Hyun-Jin Ryu and Yanks' starter Jameson Taillon have struggled in August. Let's call these starters a "wash." But at this point of the season, I think that momentum is a very real, almost tangible factor and I expect it to be the difference-maker in the opener of this series. The value may swing the other way if Toronto wins tonight, but that's the way I see the opener of this one breaking down. A really strong situational play here, one worthy of my top 10* signature TRADE-MARK designation! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. | |||||||
09-05-21 | Notre Dame v. Florida State OVER 54 | 41-38 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Notre Dame/FSU Over. I am on the over in the Notre Dame vs FSU game on Sunday. Notre Dam had a very good season last year finishing as the 4th ranked team in the country. Their season ended with losses to Alabama and Clemson. Before those 2 games, they were on a 6 game streak of scoring 30+ points including a 47-40 win over the 2nd ranked Clemson during the regular season. FSU finished their last season scoring 56 and 22 points in their last 2 games. Their scoring fluctuated heavily from game to game scoring under 20 points in some and scoring 40+ in others. These 2 played each other last season and they game ended in a 42-26 victory for Notre Dame which would have flew way over this total. This game will have lots of scoring in it to send it over. T.M. Prediction: 45-20 Notre Dame. | |||||||
09-05-21 | Astros v. Padres +100 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres I like the San Diego Padres to beat the Houston Astros on Sunday. After putting up 2 weak performances the Padres finally looked good with a 10-2 win against Houston in their last game. Chris Paddack (7-6, 4.98 ERA) is starting for the Padres and he has been pretty solid lately. The Padres have won their last 4 games with him starting. He has only allowed 4 runs in his last 3 games. The Astros have not been playing well lately with just the 1 win in 4 games. Luis Garcia (10-6, 3.23 ERA) is starting for the Astros and the team has won their last 5 with him starting. Those games were against some weaker hitting teams though. Now the Padres have started to find their bats and he should be in for a beating today. I like the Padres to win this one as they have fallen off a bit and need a win here to get themselves in a better position to get a wildcard spot. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. | |||||||
09-05-21 | Orioles v. Yankees OVER 9.5 | 8-7 | Win | 100 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Orioles/Yankees Over. I am on the over in the Baltimore Orioles vs New York Yankees game on Sunday. The Orioles have played 2 games in this series against the Yankees and both have ended with exactly 7 runs scored total in each. Keegan Akin (2-8, 6.90 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Orioles today and he has not been good this season. He was credited with wins in his last 2 starts, 1 of those games being a 13-1 victory. He only allowed 1 run in each of those games but that has not been the case for most of his starts all year and I think he is due for another awful start. Corey Kluber (4-3, 3.61 ERA) is starting for the Yankees in this one. His last start had plenty of runs in it as his team lost 8-7. He allowed 5 of those runs and has been shaky lately allowing 2 runs in just 3 innings the game before that. I think that Akin is bound to get blown up again and Kluber has not been reliable this season. Both of these teams have shown they can put up lots of runs over the past week so I like this one to go over. T.M. Prediction: 10-5 Yankees. | |||||||
09-04-21 | LSU -2.5 v. UCLA | 27-38 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 49 m | Show | |
I like the LSU Tigers to cover the spread against the UCLA Bruins on Saturday. LSU fininshed last season with an overall record of 5-5 and they will be looking to improve on that this year. UCLA did not even finish last season with a winning one going 3-4 through the year. LSU finished last season strong with wins against the Florida Gators and Ole Miss. UCLA finished their last season with losses against USC and Stanford. LSU has the better coach and is a more talented program. The line is pretty small here so I like LSU to cover the number. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 LSU. | |||||||
09-04-21 | Kent State v. Texas A&M -29 | 10-41 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
I like Texas A&M to cover the spread against Kent State on Saturday. Kent State finished last season 3-1 but don't let that record fool you. Their 3 wins came against Akron, Bowling Green, and Eastern Michigan, all of whom had a losing record and were some of the worst teams in the MAC. They only beat EMU by 4 points too, then they capped their season off with a 29 point loss to Buffalo. Texas A&M is much better than Buffalo is and also plays in a tougher conference. They had some big double digit wins last season against much stronger opponents. They are the 6th ranked team in the country coming into this game and they are going to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-10 Texas A&M. | |||||||
09-04-21 | White Sox -158 v. Royals | 10-7 | Win | 100 | 15 h 30 m | Show | |
I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. The White Sox had their 3 game winning streak snapped by the Royals in game 1 of this series. They will be looking to get this game back here. Reynaldo Lopez (3-1, 1.54 ERA) is starting for the White Sox and he has been good this season. The team has lost just once in his last 4 starts and he has only allowed runs in 1 game in his last 5 starts. The Royals snapped a 4 game losing streak with their win over the White Sox. Daniel Lynch (4-3, 4.47 ERA) is starting and he has been alright this year. His team has won the last 5 games he has made an appearance in. He has only allowed 1 run in each of his last 3 starts. The White Sox are just more talented and consistent with their play and should be able to bounce back in this game. T.M. Prediction 6-3 White Sox. | |||||||
09-04-21 | Miami-OH v. Cincinnati -22.5 | Top | 14-49 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bearcats I have a hard time seeing Miami Ohio mustering up much of an offensive attack here today. The RedHawks went 2-1 last year, while tthe Bearcats went 9-1. Brett Gabbert isn't going to be able to keep pace with Desmond Ridder, who is out for a Heisman this season. The Bearscats are 5-1 ATS in their last six non-conference games. The RedHawks are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 in the same position. I look for the home side to go up early, and then to cruise to victory; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-7 Cincy | |||||||
09-04-21 | Marshall v. Navy UNDER 47 | 49-7 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 39 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Marshall vs Navy game on Saturday. I have a hard time seeing a lot of points scored in this one. Marshall had a good season last year but their last 3 games of the season they barely scraped 30 points total. Navy is also a team that never scores a lot of points and primarily runs the ball a lot, throwing very rarely. Navy is going to eat up a lot of clock with their style and neither team will really put up a ton of points keeping this one under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 17-13 Marshall. | |||||||
09-03-21 | Cardinals v. Brewers UNDER 7.5 | 15-4 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brewers/Cardinals UNDER (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). These teams struggle to plate runs on the best of nights, but with these two red hot starters going head-to-head, I have a hard time seeing any offense whatsoever in this one. The Brewers see Freddy Peralta (9-3, 2.45 ERA) toe the slab. He returns to action after a short break to limit his inning count. He's 5-2 with a 3.00 ERA on the road. Adam Wainwright is 13-7 with a 2.97 ERA for the Cardinals, and 6-2 with a 3.68 ERA on the road. Look for these two studs to grab all the headlines in tomorrow's summaries; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Milwaukee. | |||||||
09-03-21 | Orioles v. Yankees OVER 9 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankes/Orioles OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Yankees won't be taking this series at home against the Orioles for granted. Here's a great opponent to try and get the home sweep over as New York looks to gain ground on the now scuffling Rays, while also distancing itself from Toronto. Nestor Cortes (2-2, 2.77 ERA), gave up three runs in a loss over five innings to the A's on Saturday. Cortes has struggled to pitch late into games and that trend is almost certainly going to happen again here. The Orioles see John Means (5-6, 3.46) take the hill. He most recently gave up two runs over six innings in a no-decision to the Rays on Saturday. Previous to that Means had dropped three straight after returning from a stint on the IL. I say the book is still out on him. With both starters exiting early, look for this one to fly over the number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 New York. | |||||||
09-03-21 | Duke -6 v. Charlotte | Top | 28-31 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Duke Both teams have plenty of new faces on both sides of the ball. Each had difficulties last year, but most teams did during the abbreviated Covid season. The bottom line here for me though today gentlemen is that the Blue Devils hammered Charlotte 53-19 last year and I expect a similar sort of outcome today as well. Gunnar Holmberg doesn't have a lot of experience as QB, but he's been with Duke for three years. He knows the system and that's a small advantage he has. Duke gave up 38.1 PPG last year, but it was decimated with injury and COVID issues. I expect a BIG step up from this group today. The 49ers were also hit hard by COVID last season. Chris Reynolds is a decent QB, but I think he'll have his hands full today with this improved Duke defense. The Blue Devils are better across the board and I look for them to pull away in the fourth quarter. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 45-21 Duke | |||||||
09-02-21 | Pirates v. Cubs -150 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
I am on the over in the Chicago Cubs vs Pittsburgh Pirates game on Thursday. The Pirates had 9 total runs scored in their last game. Mitch Keller (4-10, 6.75 ERA) is starting for the Pirates and he has been awful this season. His last start saw 18 total runs in that game. He allowed 7 runs in his last start and just 2 of his last 5 starts he has allowed less than 4 runs scored against in a game. The Cubs have gone under in 2 straight games now but before that they had 3/4 games have 10+ runs scored by a single team. Keegan Thompson (3-3, 3.09 ERA) is starting and he has seen some high scoring ones lately. His last start ended in a 17-13 loss for his team. He has had 3/4 starts have 10+ runs in his last 4. Both pitchers have been struggling lately and the bullpens for these teams are not very good. There should be lots of runs scored in this one to shoot it over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Cubs. | |||||||
09-02-21 | Bowling Green v. Tennessee OVER 60.5 | Top | 6-38 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee/Bowling Green OVER The Vols are retooled and revamped and a huge favorite for good reason here on Opening night for each club. Bowling Green on the other hand was a complete disaster last season. It went winless in the abbreviated campaign and it's once again expected to finish last in the MAC. The Falcons only averaged 11 points per game on 326 yards. They'll improve on the offensive side with five starters returning. However, the defense was a joke, allowing over 300 yards rushing per contest. The Vols will be out to run up the score here from the get go after their 3-7 season. Josh Heupel is the new head coach in Tennessee and he'll have 12 starters rurning. Joe Milton transferred from Michigan and he'll have plenty of weapons around him. I don't see Bowling Green competing, but it'll get some points down the stretch in garbage time. It all adds up to a solid over here. T.M. Prediction: 52-17 Vols | |||||||
09-02-21 | Bowling Green v. Tennessee -35 | 6-38 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennesee Volunteers The Vols are retooled and revamped and a huge favorite for good reason here on Opening night for each club. Bowling Green on the other hand was a complete disaster last season. It went winless in the abbreviated campaign and it's once again expected to finish last in the MAC.

However, the defense was a joke, allowing over 300 yards rushing per contest. The Vols will be out to run up the score here from the get go after their 3-7 season. Josh Heupel is the new head coach in Tennessee and he'll have 12 starters rurning. Joe Milton transferred from Michigan and he'll have plenty of weapons around him. I don't see Bowling Green competing whatsoever. It will likely get a few points in garbage time, but only because Tennessee has such a massive lead. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 52-17 Vols | |||||||
09-01-21 | Brewers +144 v. Giants | 5-2 | Win | 144 | 12 h 25 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to upset the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. The Brewers are currently on a 3 game win streak, taking the 1st 2 games of this series. Brett Anderson (4-8, 4.27 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has lost his last 3 starts. He has allowed 12 runs in his last 3 starts averaging 4 runs per game allowed in those ones. He is due for a bounce back game here. The Giants are currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing the 1st 2 games of this series. Kevin Gausman (12-5, 2.49 ERA) is starting for the Giants in this one. He has been credited with 3 straight wins when there was a decision made. His team lost in the last game he started in and he allowed 2 runs on 6 hits managing to only get 2 Ks in the entire game. The Brewers are rolling right now as they hold a big lead for 1st place in the NL Central. The Giants, however, have been slipping lately and are about to fall out of 1st in the NL West as the Dodgers are a half game behind. I think they will continue to fall here and lose their 1st place spot as the Brewers are rolling hot right now. Brewers win this one. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Brewers. | |||||||
09-01-21 | Rockies v. Rangers OVER 8.5 | 9-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Colorado Rockies vs Texas Rangers game on Wednesday. The Rockies have been on a little under streak lately staying under in their last 5 straight. Kyle Freeland (5-6, 4.17 ERA) is starting for the Rockies and he has been alright this year. His last 3 starts have stayed under but the 2 starts before that both saw 13 runs scored and that was just for his team alone in each game. He has been solid in his last 3 but that won't last for long as he has been allowing quite a bit of hits lately. The Rangers have stayed under in the 2 games of this series but in their last game against the Astros that one shot way over. Kohei Arihara (2-3, 6.59 ERA) is starting for the Rangers and he has not been good this year. His last start flew over as his team won 9-8. He has also allowed at least 5 runs in each of his last 3 starts for them. Between this awful pitching from the Arihara and the shaky bullpens of both teams, there will be plenty of runs here shooting this one over the total. T.M. Prediction: 9-5 Rockies. | |||||||
08-31-21 | Cubs v. Twins -154 | 3-1 | Loss | -154 | 16 h 56 m | Show | |
I like the Minnesota Twins to beat the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. The Twins have been on a little roll lately picking up 3 wins in 4 games. John Gant (4-8, 4.00 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has lost his last 2 starts. He allowed 4 ERs in each of those games but has been pretty good in the relief appearances he made before that. The Cubs have been doing the opposite of the Twins lately picking up 3 losses in 4 games. Zach Davies (6-10, 5.00 ERA) is starting for the Cubs and he has not been good getting credited with 4 straight losses now. He has struggled lately as 4/6 starts for him in his last 6 have had 4+ runs scored against him. The Twins have been playing much better than the Cubs lately and Gant has been more consistent when he appears in games. I like the Twins to get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. | |||||||
08-31-21 | Orioles v. Blue Jays OVER 9.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 52 m | Show | |
I like the Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays game to go over on Tuesday. They have had 6/7 of their last 7 games see 9+ runs in them. In 4 of those games a single team has scored 10+ runs themselves. Keegan Akin (1-8, 7.26 ERA) is starting for the Orioles and he has been awful this season. He got a win in his last time out but before that his team lost 13 straight games with him starting. He has allowed tons of runs all year and will be in trouble here against a Blue Jays team that loves to hit the ball and put up the runs. The 1st game of this series had 10 runs as the Blue Jays won 7-3. Hyun Jin Ryu (12-7, 3.88 ERA) will be starting for the Jays and he has struggled lately. He allowed 7 runs in his last start and has been shaky allowing 4 and 7 again in 3/4 starts. The Jays can score lots of runs especially against a pitcher who has been so bad lately, Baltimore has also been putting up runs and if Ryu is going to be struggling again like he has lately, I like the over in this one as there should be lots of runs from both teams. T.M. Prediction: 13-7 Blue Jays. | |||||||
08-30-21 | Brewers -137 v. Giants | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the San Francisco Giants on Monday. The Brewers snapped a 3 game losing streak on Sunday with a 6-2 win over the Twins. Corbin Burnes (8-4, 2.30) is starting for the Brewers and he has been great this year getting credited with 6 straight wins the last 6 games he was in where there was a decision. The team has also won in his last 7 starts. He was shaky in his last start allowing 4 earned runs, but the 3 games before that he only allowed 1 total. The Giants had their 4 game win streak snapped in the last series and have now won just 1 of their last 3 games. They did not put up any runs at all in their last game getting shutout 9-0 to the Braves. Johnny Cueto (7-6, 3.73 ERA) is starting for the Giants and he has been good all season. The team has won 3 of the last 4 games he has started in. He has allowed 5 runs in his last 3 games but none at all in his last start. Both pitchers have been pretty solid but the Brewers offense has been better in the last few games so I am backing them to get the win here as they look for a playoff spot. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Brewers. | |||||||
08-30-21 | Twins v. Tigers OVER 9 | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Minnesota Twins vs Detroit Tigers game on Monday. The Twins have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately. They have had 9/10 games see 8+ runs in their last little stretch, most of those seeing way more than 10 runs. Bailey Ober (1-2, 4.06 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has been alright lately. He did not allow a single run through 5 innings in his last start yet that game still ended 9-6 going way over the total. The Tigers have been on a bit of an under streak as their last 8 games have seen 8 runs total or less. Casey Mize (7-6, 3.55 ERA) is starting for the Tigers and he has been involved in some higher scoring games lately. His last 3 starts had 7+ runs in them. He has allowed 9 runs total in his last 4 starts. In his last 9 starts there have been 8 games with over 7 runs total, most of those going 10+. Even if both of these starters play well it is the bullpens for both teams that have been giving up tons of runs. I like this one to go well over the total here. T.M. Prediction: 10-7 Twins. | |||||||
08-29-21 | Browns -5.5 v. Falcons | 19-10 | Win | 100 | 92 h 1 m | Show | |
I like the Cleveland Browns to cover the spread against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Browns have gone 2-0 through the preseason and have kept both of their opponents to 13 points each. Both quarterbacks played an alright game for them in their last. The Browns have already looked great on defense allowing a low amount of scoring against, and their offense will only get better as Mayfield and his gang take the field for some playing time here. The Falcons have gone 0-2 so far scoring a total of 20 points in 2 games. They have just been straight up bad in past years and still have not shown any signs of turning their franchise around. They are already not scoring and will now be facing a tough defense that has been on point lately. Cleveland should come in and take care of business covering the spread in this one as they are just the better team overall. T.M. Prediction: 24-13 Browns. | |||||||
08-29-21 | Calgary v. Winnipeg OVER 44 | 16-18 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Calgary Stampeders vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers game on Sunday night. The Stampeders are coming off a game where there was 50+ points total scored. They finally got their 1st win of the season after looking not so great in the 1st 2 games. They have scored 20+ points in 2 of their 3 games this season and scored 28 in their last game. The Blue Bombers are also coming off a game where there was 50+ points total. They have also scored 20+ points in their last 2 games and 19 in their 1st. This will be the Stampeders 1st game on the road this year so they will have to come and set the tone early in this game. The Blue Bombers have been able to put up points no problem at home this season and I think that will continue here. Both of these teams will score at least 20 points so I am on the over in this one as it will shoot over. T.M. Prediction: 33-23 Blue Bombers. | |||||||
08-29-21 | Royals v. Mariners -160 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The Mariners have now lost their last 3 games in a row. Marco Gonzales (5-5, 4.13 ERA) is starting for the Mariners and he has been pitching well lately. The team has won their last 3 starts with him on the mound. He has allowed more than 2 earned runs in just 1 game in his last 7 starts. The Royals are on a 3 game win streak winning all 3 games of this series so far. Brady Singer (3-9, 5.07 ERA) is starting for the Royals. The team has won just 1 game in his last 5 starts. He has a allowed a total of 15 runs in his last 4 games averaging almost 4 runs per game. The Mariners have the better pitcher starting here and are still in the hunt for the playoffs needing to pick up a win here. I do not think that this team is going to get swept by the Royals in a 4 game series so I am taking the Mariners to get back on track here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Mariners. | |||||||
08-29-21 | Jaguars v. Cowboys UNDER 36.5 | 34-14 | Loss | -110 | 85 h 56 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Jacksonville Jaguars vs Dallas Cowboys game. The Jags are 0-2 this preseason scoring a total of 34 points across 2 games. All 3 of their quarterbacks threw for over 100 yards in their last game. Their running game was lacking though, unlike their passing. The Cowboys have not looked good at all going 0-3 this preseason scoring 33 points through those 3 games. With Prescott still sufferring from his minor injury, there are still a few question marks on this offense. The Cowboys have not been able to get anything going and with no certainty at the quarterback position, I don't see them scoring a lot of points here. The Jags have been moving the ball well lately but they have always been known for lower scoring games and a solid defense. I think this one will stay low scoring as both teams struggle to get points up on the board. T.M. Prediction: 17-10 Jaguars. | |||||||
08-28-21 | Rams v. Broncos OVER 33.5 | 12-17 | Loss | -108 | 69 h 2 m | Show | |
I like the over in the Los Angeles Rams vs Denver Broncos game on Saturday. The Rams have not looked good so far going 0-2 this preseason scoring a total of 22 points in those 2 games. The Rams have not really had any starters play in those games but we should see some Matt Stafford along with some other key pieces in this one. They should definitely put up some more points and a better fight with their starters in the game. The Broncos have been destroying going 2-0 so far scoring at least 30 points in each of those games. They have looked good regardless of who is out there on the field and they can only get better as more starters find their way in the lineup. The Broncos have the potential to send this one over the total themselves with the way they have been playing, along with whatever points the Rams put up, this game is destined to shoot over the total. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Broncos. | |||||||
08-28-21 | Brewers -146 v. Twins | 4-6 | Loss | -146 | 14 h 56 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. The Brewers have now lost 2 in a row after winning 4 straight before that. Adrian Houser (7-5, 3.44 ERA) will be starting as the Brewers look to bounce back. His team has lost just 1 game in his last 11 starts. He has not allowed a single run scored against him in 3 of his last 4 games allowing a total of 1 run in that 4 game span. The Twins took game 1 of this series but they still have just 2 wins in 7 games. Charlie Barnes (0-3, 6.56 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has not been good this season. His team has won just 1 game in the 5 appearances he has made all season. He is coming off a game where he allowed 7 earned runs. The Twins are pretty much out while the Brewers are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. The Brewers have the much better pitching advantage here and will win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Brewers. | |||||||
08-28-21 | Bears v. Titans +2.5 | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 67 h 58 m | Show | |
I like the Tennessee Titans to cover the spread against the Chicago Bears on Saturday. The Titans have been rolling so far going 2-0 through this preseason. They have scored 57 points in 2 games and are coming off a big 34-3 win over the defending Super Bowl champs the Bucs. Matt Barkley had a solid game going 12-16 in the passing game for 115 yards and 2 touchdowns. Even Logan Woodside had a good game going 7-8 for 64 yards and a touchdown. Their running game also had over 100 yards rushing for the day. The Bears are 1-1 coming into this game but they looked awful in their 41-15 blowout loss to the Bills last week. Andy Dalton could not get anything done and if Nagy is determined to have him start in week 1, he will definitely be in this one mucking up the passing game for them. The Titans can only get even better once they add some starters to the mix and with the way Dalton has looked so far, the Bears have another blowout loss on their hands here. T.M. Prediction: 20-17 Titans. | |||||||
08-28-21 | Royals v. Mariners -148 | 4-2 | Loss | -148 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. The Mariners have now lost 2 in a row after winning 3 straight. Tyler Anderson (6-8, 4.07 ERA) will be starting for the Mariners. The team has now won his last 3 starts. He has not had a game where he allowed more than 2 runs in his last 4. He has not allowed more than 3 runs in a game in his last 10 going back to his days on the Pirates. The Royals are currently on a 2 game win streak taking the 1st 2 games of this series. Daniel Lynch (4-3, 4.74 ERA) is starting here for the Royals. His team has won in his last 4 starts for them. He has allowed just 1 run in 3 of his last 4 starts. The Royals are not going to sweep the Mariners and Seattle is still looking to get into a wildcard spot while all hope seems lost for the Royals to get there. I like this game for the Mariners to bounce back and get a must needed win. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Mariners. | |||||||
08-28-21 | Nebraska v. Illinois +7 | 22-30 | Win | 100 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Illinois Off a 3-5 season, Nebraska is looking for a big win to kick things off on the right foot in 2021. The last time they had a winning season was alll the way back in 2016. Last season, when these two team met, Illinois took it to them, as they won 41-23. Illinois brings in a new Head Coach as well as Defensive Coordinator which should help get this defense filled with skill back on track here. Also, look for WR Isaiah Williams, former 4star QB recruit, to make some noise in this one with his pass catching ability. I'm expecting a much similar outcome to last year in this one. Take the Fighting Illini plus the points. T.M. Prediction 26-23 Illinois | |||||||
08-28-21 | Packers +8 v. Bills | 0-19 | Loss | -104 | 61 h 57 m | Show | |
I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. The Packers have gone 0-2 so far but have slowly worked their offense up in each game. They only scored 7 points in their 1st game but have upped that to 14 in their last. The Packers did not have any key players playing in those games and with this being the last chance to get some playing time before the real season, we should see some here. If Aaron Rodgers plays a few downs they will surely score some points along with their solid running backs and receivers. The Bills looked very good in their last game, but was that the Bills being so good or just the Bears not being able to produce. In their 1st preseason game, the Bills just squeezed out a 1 point win over the Lions. This should be much more competitive as the starters get some playing time here. This spread is pretty big and I like the Packers to keep it a close game. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Bills. | |||||||
08-27-21 | Brewers -128 v. Twins | 0-2 | Loss | -128 | 15 h 52 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the Minnesota Twins on Friday. The Brewers just had a 4 game win streak snapped by the Reds on Thursday and they will be looking to get back on track in this one. Eric Lauer (4-4, 3.59 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has been pitching great lately. His team has the last 4 games that he started. He has only allowed more than 2 runs in a game in his last 8. The Twins have not been playing well lately as they have just 1 win in 6 games. Andrew Albers (0-0, 2.25 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has only pitched in 1 game this year. He only allowed 1 run on 2 hits as his team went on to lose that game to the Yankees. With not much to go on this season it is hard to know what he will do in this one. Lauer has been pretty consistent lately and the Brewers are on fire as they lead their division while the Twins sit in last place of their division. I like the Brewers here to take care of business as usual. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Brewers. | |||||||
08-27-21 | Eagles v. Jets OVER 33 | 31-31 | Win | 100 | 44 h 59 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets game on Friday. The Eagles have been struggling in the preseason putting up just 16 points in 2 games. They were embarrassed in their last game getting shutout 35-0 by the Patriots. Joe Flacco was once again the best player for the team going 10-17 with his passing for 83 yards and 1 interception. Luckily, with this being the final preseason game, Jalen Hurts should get some playing time which means this offense will move much better, with the help of some other starters getting in there. The New York Jets have been killing the preseason winning both of their games. They scored just 12 points in the first game but they shot that up to 23 in their last game. Zach Wilson has shown some good play so far and this looks like it will be a good competitive game. The Jets will surely score points as their offense has looked good so far and the Eagles are bound to look better with Hurts as there is no where to go but up for them after that last performance. I see this one going over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 24-17 Jets. | |||||||
08-27-21 | Colts v. Lions OVER 32.5 | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 43 h 58 m | Show | |
I like the over in the Indianapolis Colts vs Detroit Lions game on Friday. The Colts have gone undefeated in this preseason so far, scoring a total of 33 points through their 1st 2 games. They only put up 12 points in their last as they squeeked by the Vikings, but Jacob Eason played a very good game and he should have some better weapons playing in this last preseason game. The Lions have been the complete opposite this preseason going winless through their 2 games. They have been scoring points though, putting up 35 through those games. They put up 16 in the 1st game and 20 in their last one. David Blough played very well in that last game and he is sure to get some more playing time here along with Jared Goff who should make an appearance as well. Between these 2 guys they should be able to move the ball and score some points. Despite the low scoring game, Eason and the Colts have also looked good so I expect enough points from both of these teams to shoot this one over the total. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Colts. | |||||||
08-26-21 | Yankees -110 v. A's | 7-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
I like the New York Yankees to beat the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. The Yankees have definitely kicked it into high gear currently on an 11 game win streak. Jameson Taillon (8-4, 3.94 ERA) is starting for the Yankees and he has been pitching great. He has been credited with 7 straight wins and his team has only lost 1 game in his last 11 starts. He has not allowed more than 3 runs in his last 8 starts and should be able to shut down the A's lineup as he has been so great. The Athletics have been in a little slump lately currently on a 4 game losing streak. James Kaprielian (7-4, 3.25 ERA) is on the mound for the A's and he has been good as well. His team has won his last 3 starts, but he allowed 6 runs in the game right before that. The Yankees are just too hot right now to step in front of and Taillon has been more consistent. Yankees take this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yankees. | |||||||
08-26-21 | White Sox v. Blue Jays -103 | 10-7 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. The Blue Jays have already picked up 2 of the 4 games in this series with the White Sox, including a 3-1 win over them in the previous game. Hyun Jin Ryu (12-6, 3.54 ERA) is starting for the Jays and he has been real solid lately. The Jays have just 1 loss in his last 8 starts. He has allowed 11 runs in his last 3 games, but he turned that around in his last one allowing no runs through 7 innings. The White Sox have just 1 win in their last 5 games. Carlos Rodon (9-5, 2.38 ERA) is starting for the White Sox and they have actually lost 2 of his last 3 starts. He allowed 6 runs in 2 games but pitched a shut out through 5 innings in his last. The White Sox are in a comfy 1st place of their division while the Blue Jays are still in the hunt for a wildcard spot. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blue Jays. | |||||||
08-26-21 | Angels v. Orioles OVER 10.5 | 1-13 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Los Angeles Angels vs Baltimore Orioles game on Thursday. The Angels have had a single team score at least 10 runs in each of their last 2 games played. They have also seen 4 games in their last 6 that had 10+ runs total in it. Jaime Barria (2-2, 5.87 ERA) is starting for the Angels and he has not been good lately. His team has lost his last 3 starts and the last 2 have had 10+ runs total in them. He has allowed 11 runs in those 3 games. The Orioles have had their last 2 games see 10+ runs total, both of them in this series. They have Keegan Akin (0-8, 7.92 ERA) starting and he has been awful this season. In 18 appearances this season, his team has lost 17 of them. He has allowed 12 earned runs in his last 3 starts and this has been a common theme for him all season. Both of these teams have had their bats wake up in this series and now there is a battle between 2 bad pitchers. This one is going to fly over the total. T.M Prediction: 11-7 Angels. | |||||||
08-25-21 | Dodgers -135 v. Padres | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 21 h 10 m | Show |
I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. The Dodgers are hot losing just once in their last 11. They are on the hunt for 1st place in their division just 3 games back from the Giants. Walker Buehler (13-2, 2.11 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Dodgers and he has been fantastic this season. His team has won the last 3 games he started for them and they have also won 17 of the 25 games he has played in this season. He has been averaging less than 2 runs allowed per game as teams can't seem to find an answer for him. The Padres have not been playing well lately with just 1 win in their last 7. Blake Snell (6-5, 4.82 ERA) has been decent lately, his team losing the last 2 games he started in. He allowed 5 runs total in his last 2 starts. The Dodgers are trending in the opposite direction from the Padres and I have to ride them while they are hot. Dodgers win this one. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
08-25-21 | Dodgers v. Padres UNDER 8 | 5-3 | Push | 0 | 21 h 10 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres game on Wednesday. The Dodgers have been in some lower scoring games lately as 4 of their last 5 have stayed under 8 total runs, with just 1 game seeing 9 runs in that span. Walker Buehler (13-2, 2.11 ERA) has been amazing allowing very little runs in his starts this season. Of his last 4 starts, 3 of them stayed under this posted total. He has not allowed 3+ runs against him in 8 straight games and has only given up more than 3 runs on 2 occasions this season. The Padres have also seen some lower scoring games lately with 3 of their last 4 staying under 8 runs. Blake Snell (6-5, 4.82 ERA) has given up 6 runs in his last 4 games and has not given up more than 3 in that span. Both of these pitchers have found a good streak lately and I expect that to continue here as both teams are looking to secure a playoff spot. This one will stay under with the quality of pitchers on the mound. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
08-24-21 | Reds v. Brewers -1.5 | 4-7 | Win | 120 | 15 h 35 m | Show | |
I am on the Milwaukee Brewers runline against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. The Brewers are currently on a 2 game win streak winning both of those games by 2+ runs. Their last 4 wins have all been by 2+ runs. Corbin Burnes (8-4, 2.13 ERA) will be starting for the Brewers and he has been great this season. The team has won the last 6 times he has started in the game. He has allowed just 1 earned run in his last 3 starts. The Reds have been hot currently on a 4 game win streak but I think that will end here for them. Tyler Mahle (10-4, 3.78 ERA) will be starting and he has 2 of his last 3 starts. He is coming off a game where he allowed 5 earned runs on 8 hits. The Brewers have the better pitcher in this one and Burnes will be able to shut the Reds down. Brewers win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Brewers. | |||||||
08-24-21 | Angels -135 v. Orioles | 14-8 | Win | 100 | 14 h 30 m | Show | |
I like the Los Angeles Angels to beat the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. The Angels are currently on a 3 game losing streak after getting swept by Cleveland over the weekend. Dylan Bundy (2-9, 4.71 ERA) will be starting for the Angels and his team has won 2 games in his last 3 starts. He has allowed 5 earned runs in that span averaging less than 2 per game. The Orioles are the worst team in the MLB and are currently on an 18 game losing streak. Spenser Watkins (2-5, 5.63 ERA) is starting and he has not been good losing his last 5 starts in a row. He allowed 4+ earned runs in each of those games. The Orioles have been awful and so has Watkins. The Angels will be looking to get back on track here. Angels get the win. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Angels. | |||||||
08-24-21 | Mariners v. A's UNDER 8.5 | 5-1 | Win | 105 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics game on Tuesday. After 4 straight games of having 9+ runs in them, the Mariners finally had less than 9 in the series opener on Monday. Chris Flexen (10-5, 3.65 ERA) is starting and his last start went way over the number. He has been pitching well himself though, averaging less than 2 runs allowed per game in his last 4 starts. The A's have had their last 2 games in a row stay under 9 runs total. Cole Irvin (9-11, 3.57 ERA) and his last 3 starts have gone over this posted total. He has also been good though, averaging about 2 earned runs per game in his last 4 starts. Both of these starting pitchers have pitched well despite the high scoring games. I expect this one to stay under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Athletics. | |||||||
08-23-21 | Royals v. Astros -1.5 | 7-1 | Loss | -123 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
I like the Astros on the runline against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The Astros just had their 3 game win streak snapped on Sunday, but they had won each of those by 2+ runs. The Astros will be out for revenge here as they lost their last series to the Royals 3-1 just a few days ago. Zack Greinke (11-3, 3.43 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Astros and he has pitched well this year. He has been credited with 3 straight wins but his team has actually lost 3 games in his last 4 starts. He has only allowed 1 earned run in his last 13 innings of play and I expect that great form to continue here. The Royals have been on a great streak as they have just 1 loss in their last 7. Daniel Lynch (3-3, 5.12 ERA) is starting for the Royals and he has been having a good debut season. His team has won his last 3 starts and he has allowed 5 earned runs in that span. In his last start, he face this Astros team and allowed just 1 run through 7 innings as he picked up the win for his team. Now that the Astros have seen him pitch, I expect a much different result in this game. They will be looking to make up for that series loss they suffered and will want to make Lynch pay as he contributed to that. The astros win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. | |||||||
08-23-21 | Jaguars v. Saints OVER 38 | 21-23 | Win | 100 | 125 h 37 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Jacksonville Jaguars vs New Orleans Saints game on Monday. The Jags lost their 1st preseason game to the Cleveland Browns 23-13. They had 4 quarterbacks play in that one and all of them did quite well all throwing for about 50+ yards and completed more than 50% of their passes. two of them scored a touchdown and only 1 threw an interception. The run game was pretty non-existant in that one but the receiver showed up. three of their receivers had over 50 yards and 3 of them averaged 10+ yards per catch. A lot of different players caught a pass for the Jags in that one and most of them were for longer plays than short. The Saints also lost their 1st preseason game to the Baltimore Ravens 17-14. They played 3 quarterbacks in that game and they all played well. Ian Book completed 9/16 passes for 126 yards and 1 interception, Taysom Hill completed 8/12 for 81 yards and 1 interception, and Jameis Winston completed 7/12 for 96 yards 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Tony Jones Jr. had a great running game rushing for 82 yards and 1 touchdown on 7 carries. They also had 2 receivers with 60+ yards and 3 different receivers that averaged 20+ yards per catch. Both of these teams have shown already that they have the pieces and can move the ball efficiently down the field. There should be some more points for both of these teams than what they scored in their 1st preseason game. I expect this game to go over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 28-24 Saints. | |||||||
08-23-21 | White Sox v. Blue Jays -101 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the Blue Jays to beat the Chicago White Sox on Monday. The Blue Jays have hit a bit of a slump lately as they have just 1 win in 5 games. Alek Manoah (5-2, 3.34 ERA) and he has pitched well lately with his team winning 3 of his last 4 starts. He was blown up for 6 earned runs in his last start but that has not been the norm with him. In his 6 starts before that he had not allowed more than 2 runs in each in 5 starts. The White Sox have not been any better lately as they have just 1 win in 4 games. Lance Lynn (10-3, 2.26 ERA) will be starting and he has pitched well with his team losing just 1 game in his last 8 starts. He has only allowed 3+ runs on 2 occasions in his last 9 starts. I think Lynn is due for a let down here while Manoah bounces back in this one. Blue Jays win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blue Jays. | |||||||
08-22-21 | 49ers -5 v. Chargers | 15-10 | Push | 0 | 100 h 8 m | Show | |
I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The 49ers lost their 1st preseason game to the Chiefs 19-16. Josh Rosen played well in that game completing 10/15 for 93 yards and 1 interception. Try Lance had an up and down game only completing 5/14 passes, but it was for 128 yards scoring the only passing touchdown for the 49ers. Even Garoppolo went 3/3 the little that he played. JaMycal Hasty led the rushing with 63 yards on 10 carries with 1 touchdown, just 1 of 5 players that rushed for over 20 yards in that one. Trent Sherfield caught the only touchdown through the air with 1 catch for 80 yards. There were 5 players that averaged 10+ yards per catch showing that they can definitely move the ball efficiently through the air. The Chargers won their 1st preseason game against the Rams 13-6. Both quarterbacks played well spreading the ball around, but they both failed to score a touchdown through the air. Larry Rountree III played well rushing for 63 yards on 8 carries, but that was all they had going for them in the run game. A lot of their widerecivers only caught 1 pass as well, not allowing any to get a good rhythm going. The 49ers just have better pieces on their team and can execute deep plays much better. I think they cover the points in this one. T.M. Prediction: 23-14 49ers. | |||||||
08-22-21 | White Sox v. Rays UNDER 9 | 0-9 | Push | 0 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Chicago White Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays game on Sunday. The White Sox have had 9+ runs scored total in their last 3 straight. I think that ends here in this one. Reynaldo Lopez (2-0, 1.08 ERA) is starting for the White Sox. He has had a great season allowing just 3 earned runs in 11 appearances this year. In his last start he shutout the A's through 5 innings. The Rays have had 9+ runs scored total in 15 games in a row now. That is bound to come to an end here against a solid starter for the White Sox. Chris Archer (0-1, 6.23 ERA) will be starting for the Rays here. He has only played in 2 games this season allowing 3 earned runs total. In his last start he did not allow a run at all through 2 innings played. The Rays have been on a crazy over streak that is bound to end soon. The White Sox have a very good pitcher on the mound. This should be a low scoring game that stays under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Rays. | |||||||
08-21-21 | Phillies v. Padres -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
I like the San Diego Padres on the runline against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The Padres are on a 4 game losing skid. They have mustered up just 1 win in 9 games. They will be looking to turn things around here. Joe Musgrove (8-8, 3.11 ERA) is starting for the Padres in this one. His team has won 12 games this season when he has started this season. All but 2 of those wins were by 2+ runs. He allowed 6 earned runs in his last start. I think that was a bad game for him as he did not allow more than 2 in each game of his previous 4 starts. The Phillies just broke a 4 game losing skid with a win over the Padres. They have not been playing well either lately. Aaron Nola (7-7, 4.48 ERA) is starting for the Phillies. The team has lost 3 of the last 4 he started in. His team has lost 13 games this season when he has started. 10 of those losses were by 2+ runs. He has also allowed 9 earned runs in his last 3 starts. The Padres are the much better team here. I think it is time they get back on track in this one. Padres win by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. |
