10-10-20 | Miami-FL +14.5 v. Clemson | Top | 17-42 | Loss | -110 | 82 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Florida (10* TRADE-MARK). This is a big game obviously. Both teams are 3-0. Miami Florida will have its hands full here, but I expect it to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the sizeable spread that it's been afforded in this one. The Hurricanes did not get caught looking ahead here in last week's 52-10 destruction of FSU. D'Eriq King had 267 yards and two TD's, before exiting the game early. RB Cam'Ron Harris was barely even used, so he'll be fresh today and I think that's a key factor. Miami averages 43.3 PPG and it concedes 19 PPG. Clemson is averaging 42.3 PPG and it's allowing 12. I think the Tigers are going to win this game, but I love King to keep his team in it late. Expect a much closer battle than what this spread is indicating! T.M. Prediction: 34-30 Clemson. | |||||||
10-10-20 | Marshall v. Western Kentucky +7 | 38-14 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Western Kentucky (8*). Marshall enters off a 17-7 victory over Appalachian State, while the Hilltoppers enter off a 20-17 road win over MTSU. Marshall is 2-0 and WKU is now 1-2. These teams met last year and Marshall won 26-23, making this a revenge game for the Hilltoppers. Marshall's early defensive numbers are skewed due to strength of schedule. Both teams return several starters on both sides of the ball from last year's teams. WKU though is 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven vs. teams with winning records and 10-4 ATS in its last 14 as a home dog, while Marshall is a poor 6-16 ATS in its last 22 when playing the role of favorite. I think WKU has everything in place to take this game outright, but let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 23-21 Marshall. | |||||||
10-10-20 | Pittsburgh v. Boston College +6 | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 79 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston College (8*) Both teams are coming off tough losses in the final minutes of their previous games. The Panthers fell 30-29 to NCA State, while Boston College lost 26-22 to UNC. Pittsburgh is getting great play from QB Kenny Picket, who is currently third in the country with a 64.8 QB rating. Boston College's Phil Jurovech though is coming off the best game of his career, despite losing, throwing for 313 yards, two TD's and zero INT's. Pittsburgh's defense is stout, but BC relies more on the pass. These teams matchup evenly across the board and while I do think the outright upset is possible here, in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: 23-21 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
10-10-20 | Iga Swiatek v. Sofia Kenin +151 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sofia Kenin. Sofia Kenin is the 21-year old from the USA and she already notched her first grand-slam title at the Australian Open earlier this year. Swiatek is the 19-year-old from Poland, and she's dropped just 22 games on her way to this finals matchup. Swiatek though has only reached one tour-level final during her career, while Kenin has been here before. And I think that matters here. I like Kenin to do just enough to beat out here younger counterpart here. T.M. Prediction: Straight sets. | |||||||
10-09-20 | Heat +7.5 v. Lakers | Top | 111-108 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat (10* TRADE-MARK). It was an all out war in Game 4 and the Heat only covered by a three-point shot at the buzzer. But now Miami is pushed firmly into the corner here, as it'll need to win outright to keep playing this year. Eric Spolestra has been magnificent with making adjustments and Jimmy Butler is a man on a mission. The Heat will be the aggressive ones here and I expect a battle until the final moment. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: 109-107 Lakers. | |||||||
10-09-20 | Louisville -4 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 27-46 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Louisville (10* MONEY-MAKER). Both teams enter at 1-2. The Cardinals returned 17 starters from last year's team which went 8-5, so they'll be desperate here to avoid an 0-3 start in ACC action. QB Malik Cunningham was awesome last year with 22 touchdowns and only five interceptions, but so far in the early going he's coughed up five picks over his first three games. Cunningham though faced a tough Pitt defense last week, but catches a break here facing GT. The Cards are averaging 29.7 PPG, but they're allowing 30.1. Fortunately Louisville's defense catches a break here facing a Yellow Jackets defense which is allowing 33 PPG. GT is only averaging 19 PPG itself. GT is also just 3-8 ATS in its last 11 following an ATS loss and only 3-13 ATS in its last 16 at home, while Louisville is 5-1 ATS in its last six as a favorite. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout from start to finish! T.M. Prediction: 37-27 Louisville. | |||||||
10-08-20 | Bucs v. Bears UNDER 44.5 | Top | 19-20 | Win | 100 | 55 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucs/Bears UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Note that the under has hit in 17 of Chicago's last 25 games overall and in six of its last seven at home. Tampa has seen the total go under in eight of its last 11 after scoring 35 points or more in a victory in its previous outing. Nick Foles and this Bears offense looked out of sync last week vs. the Colts and I they'll have a difficult time as well here vs. this improved Tampa unit. And after slinging five TD's in a come from behind win last weekend, I think that old Tom Brady comes out flat and tired on the short week. This one has "u-n-d-e-r" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 21-17 Tampa. | |||||||
10-08-20 | Tulane v. Houston OVER 59 | Top | 31-49 | Win | 100 | 54 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tulane/Houston OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). The Green Wave come in having won two of three, but I think Tulane will have its hands full here with Houston, which enters playing its first game of the season due to early Covid issues. Tulane has averaged 39 PPG and it's allowed just 25. The Cougars have lost five-straight at home dating to last year and they'll be out to get this season started on the "right foot." Houston did play well offensively last year with Clayton Tune under center by averaging 30.7 PPG, but it was on the defensive side where the Cougars struggled, allowing 34 PPG. Look for these two high-flying offenses to keep the foot on the gas until the final whistle; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 37-30 Houston. | |||||||
10-08-20 | Rays +1.5 v. Yankees | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -157 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rays RUN LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). The Rays dominated this series in the regular season and they now have a 2-1 lead in this playoff series as well after an 8-4 win on Wednesday. Tampa goes with relief pitcher Ryan Thompson to start this one, he finished 1-2 with a 4.44 ERA in the regular season, but he'll be on a short leash and make way for the bullpen pretty quickly. So far the Tampa pitching staff has posted a 3.80 collective ERA in the playoffs. Besides, New York starter Jordan Montgomery was just 2-3 with a 5.11 ERA in the regular season. And in six career starts vs. the Rays he's an even worse 1-2 with a 5.14 ERA. New York hasn't pitched well in this series and I think it'll be letdown by the mound again tonight. Lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Tampa. | |||||||
10-07-20 | Marlins v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves RUN LINE (10* TOP PAY-OUT PLAY!) The Fish had a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning, but Atlanta won Game 1 by a score of 9-5. Miami's bullpen is trash and the Braves' is elite. These two starting pitchers faced off in September and while Pablo Lopez did get the win in that game (4-2,) Anderson's numbers were better after the regular season ended. The Braves' bats were stymied early in Game 1, but then the entire line-up started to rake. Expect that trend to carry over in Game 2 and expect a complete lop-sided blowout from start to finish. The play is the Braves on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves. | |||||||
10-06-20 | Padres v. Dodgers UNDER 8.5 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 30 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers/Padres UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). There's no love loss between these clubs. LA won six of ten in the regular season series. Walker Buehler gets the start in Game 1 for the Dodgers and he's pitched just twice since September, but he did go four innings in the wild-card round vs. the Brewers. Zach Davies was 4-2 with a 3.03 ERA in the regular season, but he got knocked around hard by the Cards in the wildcard round, allowing four runs over two innings, fortunate to escape with a no-decision. Those types of outings have been few and far between for the veteran though and there's no reason not to think he won't be considerably better here. Note as well that San Diego has seen the total dip under the number in five of its last six after three or more days of rest. This number is high, play on the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-06-20 | Aces +8.5 v. Storm | Top | 59-92 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas Aces (10* TRADE-MARK). The Storm have a 2-0 series lead after their 104-91 victory in Game 2 on Sunday. Sue Bird and Natasha Howard look primed for the championship, but I don't expect the Aces to go down without a fight here. Keep your eyes on A'ja Wilson, who is averaging 20.5 PPG for the Aces. Las Vegas averages 88.7 PPG, ranked No. 1 in the league, while Seattle is No. 2 at 87.5. Look for the revenge-minded Aces to at the very least, cover with the ample spread they've been afforded! T.M. Prediction: 86-84 Las Vegas. | |||||||
10-05-20 | Falcons v. Packers OVER 57.5 | Top | 16-30 | Loss | -110 | 157 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Packers/Falcons OVER (10* TOP TOTAL). Green Bay is 3-0, but it'll have a fight on its hands here as Atlanta looks to get off the schneid with a victory here. The Falcons have given up sizeable leads in all three of their setbacks (which they've lost by a combined 12 points.) Atlanta is getting great production from its offense, but it's conceding 38 PPG. That's brutal and great news to the ears of Packers' red hot veteran QB Aaron Rodgers, who already has 887 yards passing, nine touchdowns and zero interceptions. The Green Bay defense has done just enough, but it's issues have been masked over by the great play of Rodgers and the offense. The over has hit in Green Bay's last four following a SU win and all signs point to this trend continuing in a big way this evening; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 37-27 Green Bay. | |||||||
10-05-20 | Yankees v. Rays +1.5 | 9-3 | Loss | -130 | 12 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rays RUN LINE (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Rays went 8-2 against the Yankees in the regular season. Both Gerrit Cole and Blake Snell enter this contest red hot, so we can absolutely call these starting pitchers a "wash." I like Tampa's bullpen though and its depth down its line-up will prove to be too much for New York's pen to keep up with down the stretch. I'm banking on the Rays finding a way to take Game 1! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Tampa. | |||||||
10-05-20 | Patriots v. Chiefs -10.5 | 10-26 | Win | 103 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chiefs (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). I can't see any upsets here. Pats' backup QB Brian Hoyer is being thrown to the wolves here in this difficult situation. The Patriots lead the league in rushing at 170 yards per game in the early going, but a lot of that had to do with Cam Newton being on the field. This New England offense is going to be so unbelievably one-dimensional, that it could in fact come in with NO dimensions at all. New England's defense is completely suspect as well after allowing 37 points in a loss in Seattle in another prime-time situation. Look for Kansas City to go up early and for its defense to have a big day. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 34-19 Kansas City. | |||||||
10-05-20 | Astros +1.5 v. A's | Top | 10-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Astros RUN LINE (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Chris Bassitt did great in the regular season and was fantastic in his lone wildcard start last week. He also had success vs. the Astros in the regular season. Lance McCullers Jr. though has plenty of experience at this level and he has a major advantage here in having not thrown since September 26th. I think McCullers can easily match Bassitt inning for inning and in a scenario like that, I love the underdog. Especially this experienced Astros hitting line-up, that overwhelmed the Twins completely in the Wildcard round. The A's needed all three to advance. Grab the 1.5 runs, but don't be shocked by an outright upset either! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Houston. | |||||||
10-04-20 | Eagles v. 49ers -6 | 25-20 | Loss | -113 | 132 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: 49ers (9* BEST OF THE BEST). The Eagles are coming off a 23-23 tie with the Bengals, while the 49ers have won two straight, most recently a 38-9 win over the Giants. Philly' QB Carson Wentz had 225 yards passing, one TD and tow INTs last weekend. He was also sacked three times. Wentz has been terrible so far, completing less than 60 percent of his passes for three TD's and six INT's. Note that WR DeSean Jackson is questionable with injury. Nick Mullens has proved a very capable backup QB for San Francisco and despite the numerous injuries he has to his offensive unit, I think he'll have a big day here vs. this poor Eagles' secondary. San Fran is still the better team in the trenches and on special teams and I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 28-19 San Francisco. | |||||||
10-04-20 | Eagles v. 49ers UNDER 45.5 | 25-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Eagles/49ers UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Philadelphia won't be asking too much of Carson Wentz here as it tries to get off the schneid and take advantage of this wounded 49ers side. The same though can be said of 49ers' third-string back-up QB Nick Mullens, who will be asked to simply "manage" this game and limit his mistakes. With both teams putting an added emphasis onto the run game, expect this total to stay well under once the final whistle screams! T.M. Prediction: 17-13 San Fran. | |||||||
10-04-20 | Lakers v. Heat +9.5 | Top | 104-115 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat (10* TRADE-MARK). The Heat line closed at +10.5 in Game 2 and they managed to cover the spread in that one. Now that Bam Adebayo is back in the line-up for Game 3, I think Miami will at the very least, keep this contest solidly within single digits. Even without Dragic and Abedayo in the line-up, Miami covered in Game 2, but note that LA is still only 1-4 ATS in its last five vs. the Eastern Conference. Miami on the other hand is still a sharp 13-4 ATS in its last 17 overall. Miami's Jimmy Butler said that his team would have to play "damn near perfect" to win this series and while that hasn't even come close to happening, it's mainly been because of injury issues. Now that Spolestra has had some time to figure things out, I like Miami to throw its "best shot" at The King and company. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 110-108 LA. | |||||||
10-04-20 | Giants +13.5 v. Rams | 9-17 | Win | 100 | 128 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Giants (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Rams enter off a heart-breaking loss in Buffalo and I think they come out flat-footed here vs. their lowly opponent, who comes in hungry to break its 0-3 start. Jared Goff and the Rams offense has been decent to this point, but LA has major concerns on the defensive side and I think the Rams will get caught looking ahead to their game on the next weekend. With the visiting side though fighting tooth and nail until the final whistle, I'm grabbing the points and expecting a nail biter! T.M. Prediction: 26-23 Rams. | |||||||
10-04-20 | Cardinals -3.5 v. Panthers | 21-31 | Loss | -100 | 125 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cardinals (8* TOUCH-DOWN CLUB). The Cardinals struggled at home vs. a desperate Lions team last weekend, but I think they'll bounce back here in this favorable spot. Murray was uncharacteristically picked off three times in the game. Despite the picks though, Murray had 270 yards passing with two TD's and another 29 yards rushing with another major score on the ground. The Cards failed to force any turnovers for the first time last week and they held the Lions to just 90 rushing yards. The Panthers look poised for a letdown after their 21-16 win over the Chargers. QB Teddy Bridgewater had 235 yards passing and a TD in the win, but note that the Panthers are a poor 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven as an underdog, while the Cards are 5-2 ATS in their last seven in this series. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 32-20 Arizona. | |||||||
10-03-20 | Texas A&M v. Alabama -16 | Top | 24-52 | Win | 100 | 103 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). This is the SEC's first big game...which sees the No. 13 ranked Texas A&M Aggies travel to take on the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide. Both enter at 1-0. The Aggies squeaked by Vanderbilt 17-12 last Saturday as a 31.5 point favorite though, while the Crimson Tide rolled over Missouri 38-19. Alabama definitely took the foot off the gas late in the one though...as it had a 35-3 lead with about five minutes left in the third-quarter...before then easing up and looking ahead to this contest at home vs. A&M. And so I think the Tide come in fresh and prepared and ready to lay a beatdown on the Aggies here...who are clearly struggling on the offensive side of the ball. The Aggies had just 17 first downs last week and they were held to only 4 of 10 in third-down conversions. Kellen Mond had 189 yards a TD...and Isaiah Spiller was decent with 117 rushing yards...the defense though was pretty mediocre as well with just two sacks...and that's not going to get the job done here vs. Tide in my opinion...Mac Jones had 249 yards and two TD's last week..while NaJee Harris had 98 rushing yards and three touchdowns...the Tide also recorded three sacks and had two fumble recoveries in the win..the Aggies have struggled in this position for a while now...they're just 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. teams with winning records...I think Alabama goes up big early..but unlike last week it does't take the foot off the gas...I expect it to lay the hammer down and I'm going to suggest to lay the points in this one. T.M. Prediction: 37-15 Alabama. | |||||||
10-03-20 | Memphis -2.5 v. SMU | 27-30 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis (8* MONEY-MAKER). SMU is 3-0 and it's scored at least 50 points in eeach contest, but I think the Mustangs will have their hands full here with this No. 25 ranked Memphis Tigers team. Memphis beat Arkansas State 37-24 in its lonly this year and it beat SMU 54-48 here in this game last season. In fact note that Memphis has covered in the last six in this series. Memphis has had two games postponed already this year due to covid, so clearly the Tigers are going to be amped up here for their league opener. Mustangs' QB Shane Buechel has been good for SMU so far, but note that the Mustangs are just 1-4 ATS in their last five after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game. Memphis on the other hand is 11-3 ATS in its last 14 after posting more than 450 yards in its previous game. Let's face it, the Mustangs have faced a weak schedule to this point and I expect the step-up in competition to be too much for them to handle down the stretch; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 45-30 Memphis. | |||||||
10-03-20 | South Florida +21.5 v. Cincinnati | 7-28 | Win | 100 | 103 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: South Florida (8* TD CLUB). USF beat Citadel 27-6 in its opener, but then it got hammered 52-0 by Notre Dame. The Bulls had last week's game postponed due to covid issues. The Bearcats beat Army 24-10 last weekend and while Desmon Ridder has been decent in the early going, I think he comes out complacent here and gets caught looking past his lowly opponent to his bye week next weekend. Note as well that USF is 5-0 ATS in its last five in this series. No outright, but grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 30-15 Cincinnati. | |||||||
10-03-20 | East Carolina v. Georgia State -1.5 | 29-49 | Win | 100 | 100 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgia State (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Georgia State lost its only game of the year, a 34-31 OT setback to Louisiana as a 17.5 point underdog. East Carolina lost its season opener on Saturday by a score of 51-28, but managed to cover with the 26 points they were afforded. ECU is led by HOlton Ahlers and while the team returns several starters from last year's team which went 4-8 on both sides of the ball, note that the Pirates conceded 632 yards to UCF in its loss last weekend. Georgia State returns 17 starters from last years team. QB Cornelious Brown was a bright spot with 200 yards, a TD and INT. He also had 64 rushing yards and another TD on the ground. I'm banking on the home side pulling away down the stretch; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-30 Georgia State. | |||||||
10-02-20 | Heat v. Lakers OVER 216 | Top | 114-124 | Win | 100 | 31 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat/Lakers OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Lakers can smell the blood in the water! The Heat are injured and look vulnerable and I expect LeBron James and company to domiante from start to finish and push the pace in a high-tempo contest. Miami has to now double-team Anthony Davis, which leaves The King free to operate. And for Miami, its only hope now is to start jacking up the three-ball, something that it's been extremely good at hitting during the playoffs. Miami has seen the total go over in four of their last five and I expect it to rebound from range in Game 2. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 120-110 Lakers. | |||||||
10-02-20 | Louisiana Tech v. BYU UNDER 56.5 | Top | 14-45 | Loss | -110 | 85 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: BYU/LA Tech UNDER (10* SUPER SPECIAL!) Analysis posted at least 8 hours before game time. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY | |||||||
10-02-20 | Storm v. Aces UNDER 164 | Top | 93-80 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas/Seattle UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). These two teams went 18-4 in the regular season and they shared the Western Conference title. The Las Vegas Aces enter tired after needing all five games to get by the Connecticut Sun in their semifinals match (won 66-63 on Thursday, Sept. 29th). A’ja Wilson, the 2020 WNBA MVP, led the way for Las Vegas with 23 points and 11 rebounds. The Storm however swept the Lynx in three games. Seattle had a by into its semifinals match, so it had a full eight days between its first postseason game. The Aces’ Dearica Hamby is out with injury though and that's a big blow for Las Vegas, as she won Sixth Woman of the Year this season. The Storm will be without guard Sami Whitcomb in the Finals and she was their top-scorer off the bench. This one sets up great as a lower-scoring affair, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 80-75 Seattle. | |||||||
10-02-20 | Marlins v. Cubs -1.5 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cubs RUN LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). This game was postponed due to rain yesterday. Miami won Game 1, but I like the home side to bounce back here and deliver. I think the delay benefits the home side, as the players are able to adapt easier. I love Yu Darvish as well. Darvish finished with a 2.01 ERA and while he's struggled in the past in the playoffs, his current form leads me to believe that he's about to shake off those past troubles. This is a dream matchup facing the Marlins, who continue to over-achieve. Sixto Sanchez has been good in his limited time for the Fish, but clearly he's in unchartered territory here. I expect Chicago to not only win this game, but I expect it to win BIG. Lay the 1.5 runs! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cubs. | |||||||
10-01-20 | Broncos v. Jets UNDER 40 | Top | 37-28 | Loss | -107 | 61 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Broncos/Jets under (10* O/U MONEY-MAKER). These defenses are terrible, but each unit catches a big break this week facing these terrible offenses. Both teams are equally as hungry to get off the schneid. Obviously neither is dillusional in thinking that they'll actually make the playoffs, rather these clubs need a victory to calm down their respective fan bases. I don't expect a high-scoring "shootout," rather I expect a "chess match." Sam Darnold needs to get back to basics for the Jets, so expect a lot of crossing routes and dumps. The Broncos are down to their third-string QB, so don't expect the visitors to be asking much of Rypien here either. I expect a boring, low-scoring affair once the final whistle sounds! T.M. Prediction: 17-13 Denver. | |||||||
10-01-20 | Reds v. Braves -128 | Top | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves (10* MONEY-MAKER). With a chance to move into the bubble format in LA, I like the Braves to dig deep here and eliminate Cincinnati. I'll call Castillo and Anderson a "wash" here. The Braves prevailed in 13 innings last night, but I expect the home side's line-up to be much better this time around, as note that ATL is 7-2 in its last nine after scoring one or less runs in a home victory in its previous outing. This line is way out of whack. The Reds are in over their head here. Lay the price, expect a blowout from start to finish! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Braves. | |||||||
09-30-20 | Brewers v. Dodgers UNDER 8 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 31 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers/Brewers UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). The bottom line is, I think these two starters will battle deep and I think that will ultimately help in driving this total well under the posted number. Walker Buehler was 1-0 with a 3.44 ERA and he's backed by the best bullpen in the NL with a 2.74 ERA. Buehler has faced the Brewers once in his career and he allowed one run over seven innings. Milwaukee starter Brent SUter was 2-0 with a 3.13 ERA this year and the Brewers finished sixth in the NL with a staff ERA of 4.16 (Milwaukee though struggled offensively, batting .223 collectively, ranked 26th.) The stage is set for a classic "duel." This number is high, play the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
09-30-20 | Heat +5 v. Lakers | Top | 98-116 | Loss | -108 | 54 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat (10* GOW). Both teams have been great in the bubble, but Miami has consistently been overlooked by its opponents and by the oddsmakers in my opinion and that's the case again tonight. Miami is tough defensively and I think that head coach Eric Spolestra will have a brilliant game-plan to take out his former player LeBron James and company. Miami shoots and defends the ball well. The Lakers are also interestingly just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 vs. the Eastern Conference, while Miami is 6-2 ATS in its last eight as an underdog in the +4.5 to +6.5 points range. The Lakers are top heavy with LBJ and Anthony Davis and I think that in Game 1, the Heat's depth prevails! T.M. Prediction: 110-107 Miami. | |||||||
09-29-20 | Yankees -102 v. Indians | Top | 12-3 | Win | 100 | 29 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankees (10* TRADE-MARK). As good as Shane Bieber has been this year, I think he and Yanks' starter Gerrit Cole are a "wash" here. Bieber has been unbelievable, but honestly it wouldn't be too difficult to write a convincing argument for either one. Look at this line, clearly the oddsmakers also think these teams are completely evenly matched and that the "home field" is not an advantage whatsoever. But New York has its sluggers back in the line-up and I think they're ready to tear the cover off the ball here. While the Yanks did struggle at times in the regular season, expect them to finally live up to expectations now that the playoffs are here! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yankees. | |||||||
09-29-20 | Blue Jays +141 v. Rays | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 27 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays I like Toronto to pull off the upset in Game 1. Tampa did win six of the ten in the regular season series over the Jays, but four of those victories came by a single run. Blake Snell finished 4-2 with a 3.24 ERA for Tampa, while Matt Shoemaker was 0-1 with a 4.71 ERA for Toronto. Shoemaker last pitched on September 21st where he allowed one run over three innings in a no-decision vs. the Yankees. The Jays were sharp in this spot all year as well, finishing 6-3 as a road dog in the +155 to +205 range. I like this hard-hitting Jays line-up to find a way to get the job done. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. | |||||||
09-28-20 | Chiefs v. Ravens OVER 53.5 | Top | 34-20 | Win | 100 | 154 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chiefs/Ravens OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). I think that both defenses will have trouble containing these high-powered offenses. Patrick Mahomes and LaMar Jackson would have had this game circled on their calendars before the season started. This is a prime-time matchup that the entire NFL is hoping will have huge ratings and as such, I definitely expect these two offenses to take center stage. Each is capable on the defensive end as well, but mostly any inefficiences on that end are masked by each side's dynamic offense. Baltimore has revenge on its mind after losing 33-28 at Arrowhead last year and I expect it to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish. This number is low, the play is the OVER! T.M. Prediction: 33-30 Ravens. | |||||||
09-28-20 | Lightning v. Stars +1.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -178 | 26 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stars PUCK LINE (6* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Stars pulled off the 3-2 OT win in Game 5 and I think they have a legitimate shot at taking this series to a Game 7 as well. Both teams are exhausted and you can tell that each is now waiting for the other to make the first mistake. But this plays directly into the Stars' strength, who do like to sit back and then plan their attack based off their opponents play. Note as well that Dallas is 6-2 in its last eight after allowing two goals or less in an OT victory in its previous outing. In a game which I think'll be decided late or even in extra periods, I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals in our back pocket! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Dallas. | |||||||
09-27-20 | Packers +4.5 v. Saints | 37-30 | Win | 100 | 131 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Packers (8* SLAUGHTER-FEST). New Orleans is 1-1, while Green Bay is 2-0. The Saints didn't look particularly great in their Week 1 victory over the Bucs. Tampa was playing without a preseason and for the first time ever and considering, the Saints looked pretty weak. And last week New Orleans also looked terrible in defeat to the Raiders in Las Vegas. Green Bay on the other hand has looked downright awesome in all three phases during its 2-0 SU/ATS start. I like Rodgers to lay the hammer down here, as he looks possessed after Green Bay chose QB Jordan Love in the draft (Rodgers has six TD's and no INT's.) Note as well that the Saints are a poor 1-4 ATS in their last five after allowing 350 total yards or more in a loss in their previous outing, while the Packers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight after scoring 40 points or more in a win in their previous outing. Look for Green Bay to build on last week's impressive win over the Lions, but grab the points just in case! T.M. Prediction: 28-24 Packers. | |||||||
09-27-20 | Celtics v. Heat +3.5 | Top | 113-125 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat (10* TRADE-MARK). Miami looked flat in its 121-108 Game 5 loss to Boston. Heat coach Eric Spolestra though has been a genius in the playoffs as his adjustments from game-to-game has kept his opponents guessing most nights. The Heat are getting a considerable amount of points again here and in a contest which I think'll be decided in the final moments, I think the prudent move is to definitely grab the points. If you're watching and wagering on this game, then the story lines and matchups are well known to you. These teams are evenly matched, but I think Miami does finally put the final nail in the coffin here, setting up the showdown with LeBron James and the Lakers. Miami had its worst shooting game of the series in Game 5 and I don't expect that to happen twice. Clearly the outright win is in play here, but in the end let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 108-107 Miami. | |||||||
09-27-20 | Bucs -6 v. Broncos | Top | 28-10 | Win | 100 | 127 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucs (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Broncos are an interesting case, as they're 0-2 SU, but 2-0 ATS. Last week they lost starter Drew Lock under center, but back-up Jeff Driskel was excellent by throwing for two TD's. But note, besides Lock, both DT Dre'Mont Jones and WR Courtland Sutton were placed on the IL this week (along with several others.) The Bucs are loaded with talent and I think this is the week that Tampa dominates on both sides of the ball. Leonard Fournette had a big game last week for the Bucs and now Brady has a real back to keep opposing defenses honest. I expect Tampa to go up early and to keep the foot on the gas until the final whistle. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 28-14 Tampa. | |||||||
09-27-20 | Panthers v. Chargers UNDER 44 | Top | 21-16 | Win | 100 | 126 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Panthers/Charges UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH). The Panthers are 0-2 and the Chargers are 1-1. LA looked decent in its loss to the Chiefs last time out, but it wasn't particularly spectacular in its Week 1 win over the Colts. Carolina is averaging 23.5 PPG, but clearly it'll be out to clean up its play on the defensive end after allowing 32.5 in the early going. However, Carolina catches a bit of a break here facing this Chargers offense. LA is only average 18 PPG, but the good news is it's only allowing 18 as well. With Christian McCaffrey out for the Panthers, their offense becomes even more one-dimensional. This one has UNDER written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 20-13 LA. | |||||||
09-27-20 | Jets +12 v. Colts | 7-36 | Loss | -130 | 126 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jets (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). With back-to-back road games up next, I think the Colts will classically get caught "looking past" the terrible Jets today. New York is injured, but it still has talent with Sam Darnold and Frank Gore on offense. Darnold has been decent considering the adversity, completing 62.7 percent of his passe for 394 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. The Colts smashed the Vikes last week, but they were upset by the Jaguars in Week 1. Also note that the Colts lost safety Malik Hooker and WR Paris Campbell to serious injury and I think that throws a monkey-wrench into the entire mix. No outright, but closer than expected. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Colts. | |||||||
09-27-20 | Rams +2.5 v. Bills | 32-35 | Loss | -100 | 123 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Both teams are 2-0, but I think LA's dynamic offense will be just too much for Josh Rosen and company to keep up with down the stretch. This is a "fishy" line in my opinion and in those cases, I always bet on the "fish." LA's Jared Goff has completed 20 of 27 passes so far without any INT's. Buffalo looked anything but dominant in its 31-28 win over Miami last weekend. Allen did have a big day, but I expect him to have much more difficulty here. Finally note that LA is 7-2 ATS in its last nine non-conference road games as an underdog in the +1.5 to +3.5 points range. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 26-23 LA Rams. | |||||||
09-27-20 | Paulo Costa +152 v. Israel Adesanya | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 111 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Paulo Costa (10* FIGHT OF THE YEAR). Israel Adesanya enters this fight with a 19-0 record. Adesanya is very disciplined and waits for his opponent to make the first mistake, but I think he'll have his hands full here with Paulo Costa, who comes in hungry at 13-0. Costa has won 85 percent of his fights by KO. Costa enters off a decision win which earned him fight of the night. Costa is a "big" fighter at middleweight and his strikes do significant damage. Costa likes to push the pace and has large cardio reserves. I don't think that Adesanya can handle Costa's power and I think the up and coming fighter will find a way to get the job done at the end of the night! T.M. Prediction: KO/SUB/DECISION/TKO. | |||||||
09-26-20 | Nuggets v. Lakers UNDER 215 | Top | 107-117 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Lakers UNDER 10* (TOTAL TRADE-MARK). I think the Nuggets are mentally drained and I believe the Lakers will likely win today. That said, whoever does come out on top, I think this is going to be a very defensive contest. I understand that the Nuggets have come back from consecutive 1-3 holes to win their previous two series 4-3, but LA has beaten Denver in six of eight H2H matchups this year. This is a bad matchup for the Nuggets, who primarily run their offense through big man Nikola Jokic. LA has also enjoyed most of it success when Anthony Davis is able to assert himself. I think both teams come out tired and I think that'll translate into a lower-scoring under at the end of this one! T.M. Prediction: 106-100 Lakers. | |||||||
09-26-20 | Cubs v. White Sox -135 | Top | 5-9 | Win | 100 | 25 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). After six straight losses, I think the White Sox are going to bounce back here finally in the second to last regular season game of the year. The White Sox trail the Twins by a 1/2 game now and are tied with the Indians with two to go for the division title. The Cubs won't be rolling over, but starter Lester owns a pedestrian 4.91 ERA lifetime vs. the White Sox. Dane Dunning is 2-0 with a 3.19 ERA and clearly the rookie won't be lacking for motivation here. I think Chicago finally finds a way to break the streak as it looks to head into the playoffs on a high-note. Lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 White Sox. | |||||||
09-26-20 | Georgia v. Arkansas +26.5 | 37-10 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas. This is the first game of the year for both teams. Georgia was 12-2 last year, while Arkansas was 2-10. Georgia lost to LSU in the SEC Championship. Georgia is loaded with talent, ranked as the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, but it's going to be difficult to immediately replace Jake Fromm and D'Andre Swift. JT Daniels tore his ACL last year, interestingly against this very Arkansas team. Daniels has plenty of hype surrounding him, but I believe that chemsitry will be an issue early. The Razorbacks' offense revolves around its running games, keep your eyes on Rakeem Boyd, who had 1,333 yards and eight TD's last year. No way Arkansas wins outright, but I think the stage is set for a closer battle than what Las Vegas is trying to lead us to believe; grab all those points! T.M. Prediction: 30-21 Georgia. | |||||||
09-26-20 | Iowa State v. TCU +2.5 | 37-34 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: TCU. Iowa State was streamrolled by the Ragin' Cajuns in their lone game of the year by a score of 31-14. Overall Iowa State had 303 yards of offense, which included only 145 yards passing from QB Brock Purdy. Iowa State's defense was terrible and I think it'll have difficulties slowing down the Horned Frogs' Matthew Downing, a transfer from Georgia. I think the extra time off to prepare helps TCU here and while I wouldn't be completely surprised by the outright, in the end let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 22-21 TCU. | |||||||
09-26-20 | Kansas State v. Oklahoma -28.5 | 38-35 | Loss | -108 | 99 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma. K-State gave up 21 unanswered points in its eventual 35-31 setback to Arkansas State two weks ago. Skylar Thompson had 259 yards and two TD's in the setback. But if the Wildcats had a difficult time slowing down the Red Wolves, I have no idea how they plan to slow down the Sooners, who destroyed Missouri State 48-0 two weeks ago. The Sooners also looked dominant on the defensive end, allowing just 81 yards rushing and 81 yards passing. This is a revenge game as well after an upset from last year, so I'm laying the points and expecting Oklahoma to come out and put the foot on the gas from start to finish. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 46-14 Sooners. | |||||||
09-26-20 | Manchester United -134 v. Brighton & Hove Albion | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Manchester United (10* MONEY-MAKER). Here's a game which Man U needs to win after getting upset at home at Old Trafford by Crystal Palace. Brighton & Hove Albion is in the wrong place at the wrong time here. Man U is filled with talent, but it came out flat last week and never recovered. This should be a blowout from start to finish. Lay the reasonable price! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Man U. | |||||||
09-25-20 | Lightning v. Stars +1.5 | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 29 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stars PUCK LINE (6* TRADE-MARK). The Stars have their backs against the wall here. Not entirely yet, but a 3-1 hole would clearly like to be avoided here. Dallas looked great in its Game 1 win, but the Lightning have been the better team over the last two. These teams are evenly matched and I think that the Stars are going to come out here with adjustments and at the very least, take this one right down to the wire. I'll point out as well that Dallas is 7-2 in its last nine after back-to-back losses and in which it allowed five or more goals in the latest setback. I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Stars. | |||||||
09-25-20 | Reds v. Twins -1.5 | Top | 7-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Twins RUN LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). Each team enjoyed a day off on Thursday and each has major playoff implications surrounding this final series of the regular season. Tyler Mahle is 2-2 with a 3.57 ERA for the Reds and he's been sharp of late, but I still give a big nod to the Twins' Jose Berrios, who is 4-2 with a 3.72 ERA overall this year and who is 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA in four September starts with 22 strikeouts and just six walks over 22 innings of work. The Twins have a slim lead in the AL Central, so I expect them to put the foot on the gas here; the play is the home side on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Minnesota. | |||||||
09-25-20 | Middle Tennessee State v. UTSA UNDER 60 | Top | 35-37 | Loss | -102 | 29 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UTSA/MTSU UNDER (10* TOTAL ANNIHILATION). These two teams struggle on both sides of the ball, but especially on the offensive end. The Blue Raiders have averaged just 7.0 PPG over their first two. The Roadrunners on the other hand averages 14.2 PPG two years ago and 20.3 PPG last year. They put up 41 points in a win over Texas State, only to then manage just 24 vs. a Division II team last week. UTSA is going to run the ball a lot and this will also help in driving this total well under at the end of the night! T.M. Prediction: 34-27 UTSA. | |||||||
09-25-20 | Red Sox v. Braves OVER 10.5 | Top | 7-8 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves/Red Sox OVER (10* TOTAL UPPER-DECK). Boston won't be playing in the post-season, but it's gotten hot at the end of the season. The Braves are still trying to lock down the No. 2 spot in the NL, so this is an important game and series as well for them. And guess what?! Two gas can starters head to the hill here in Boston's Chris Mazza, who is 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA and Kyle Wright, who is 2-4 with a 5.74 ERA. Finally note that the Braves have in fact seen the total soar over the number in 11 of their last 17 interleague road games when the total is set between 10.5 and 11. This number is a tad low! T.M. Prediction: 7-5 Braves. | |||||||
09-24-20 | Lakers v. Nuggets UNDER 215 | Top | 114-108 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lakers/Nuggets UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). LA looked great in Game 1, decent in Game 2 and poor in Game 3. LA was one of the most proficient defensive clubs in the regular season though, so I don't think there's any need to hit the panic button yet if you're a Lakers fan. LA's big men were dominated in Game 3, so expect the Lakers to try and establish those three players early and often. The Nuggets run their offense through Nikola Jokic, so this one definitely has the feel of a slower-tempo, methodically-paced affair, rather than a "run and gun shootout." This one has "u-n-d-e-r" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 106-100 Lakers. | |||||||
09-24-20 | Dolphins +3 v. Jaguars | Top | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 59 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dolphins (10* TRADE-MARK). Jacksonville has been competitive, upsetting the Colts in Week 1, before then falling at Tennessee last time out. Gardner Minshew wno't roll over, but neither will Miami, who enters desperate after an 0-2 SU/ATS start. It's almost impossible for teams to even make the playoffs after starting 0-3 and note that the Fish are in fact 7-2 ATS in their last nine after losing two more SU in a row. The Jaguars on the other hand are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight after back-to-back ATS victories. I'm grabbing the points, although won't be shocked by the outright win! T.M. Prediction: 25-23 Miami. | |||||||
09-24-20 | Astros -118 v. Rangers | 12-4 | Win | 100 | 25 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Astros (8* TOP-SHELF BLOWOUT). Yes, Lance Lynn has been great for Texas this year (he's 6-2 witha 2.53 ERA). But so too has Christian Javier for the Astros (he's 4-2 with a 3.33 ERA). Houston is 28-28, but it hasn't yet clinched a playoff spot. It's do or die for the Astros here and I think they'll bounce back after yesterday's loss in Seattle. Note that Houston is 8-2 in its last ten after scoring two or less runs in a loss in its previous outing. Look for the Astros to respond! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Astros. | |||||||
09-24-20 | UAB -7.5 v. South Alabama | Top | 42-10 | Win | 100 | 58 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UAB (10* CRUSHER). UAB is down its starting QB in Tyler Johnson III, but I think that Bryson Lucero will step up here and get the job done. UAB comes in off a 30-15 loss to Miami two weeks ago. The Jags lost a 27-24 contest to Tulane two weeks ago as well. South Alabama also starts a new QB under center today, as Desmond Trotter is now out with injury, meaning that Chance Lovertich gets the call. This evens the playing field between these two offenses. I like UAB's defense and special teams better though and I expect that to be the difference maker. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-23 UAB | |||||||
09-24-20 | White Sox v. Indians -115 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 23 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* BEST OF THE BEST). Thee two teams are moving in opposite directions. The White Sox have lost four straight and they've now lost their grip on the division lead, sitting a 1/2 game back of Minnesota. The Indians have clinched a playoff spot, but the momentum they've been riding has been crazy (off back-to-back walk off extra inning victories over the ChiSox). These starting pitchers are both great, so I deem them to be equal here. Note though that Chicago is a disastrously poor 1-6 in its last seven as a road underdog in the +101 to +127 range. Considering the circumstances, I think this is the very definition of "great line value." T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Indians. | |||||||
09-23-20 | Celtics v. Heat OVER 210 | Top | 109-112 | Win | 100 | 29 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat/Celtics OVER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE). Miami finally stumbled in Game 3, but I think it's entirely premature to write this team off in any way. Eric Spolestra has been brilliant in making adjustments and with a couple of extra days off to prepare for this extremely important Game 4, I think he'll have something new for Boston to contend with. Clearly the Celtics can't sit back and relax, Boston is going to have to be the aggressor and I believe that's going to translate into production on the offensive end. Boston has also seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of its last 12 after a victory and playing with two or more days of rest. This number is a tad low, play the over! T.M. Prediction: 117-114 Boston. | |||||||
09-23-20 | Lightning v. Stars +1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -192 | 29 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stars (6* TRADE-MARK). Las Vegas still has the Lightning favored considerably in Game 3, but I think these teams are much more evenly matched than what this line would suggest. Goaltending is a "wash." Each team has looked brilliant at times and poor in other so far in the playoffs, but I simply feel that the Lightning are over-priced here. But in a contest which I think'll be decided in the closing moments (or maybe even in extra time), I still love the value by laying the larger price for the extra 1.5 goals in our back pockets! That's the play, Dallas on the puck-line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Stars. | |||||||
09-23-20 | Cardinals v. Royals +116 | 3-12 | Win | 116 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Royals (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). This is a great situational spot play on the home dog here. This is based primarily upon the fact the St. Louis is sending confirmed "gas can" Carlos Martinez to the hill to start and he's so far 0-2 with an 8.40 ERA. The home side counters with Danny Duffy, who is 3-4 with a 5.01 ERA. I'm banking on Duffy getting the better of his counterpart, as KC looks to play the role of spoiler! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Royals. | |||||||
09-23-20 | Orioles v. Red Sox -158 | Top | 1-9 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston (10* MONEY-MAKER). Boston rolled to an 8-3 victory yesterday and while it won't be in the playoffs, it's still trying to close out on a positive note. I like the home side to lay the hammer down here as well in this favorable matchup. Over the last five games Boston's starters have combined for a 1.04 ERA. Nate Eovaldi is 3-2 with a 4.25 ERA this season and 5-1 with a 4.61 ERA in 11 career starts vs. the O's. Baltimore goes with rookie Dean Kremer, who is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA, but clearly the sample size is much too small and regression would seem imminent with these sparkling early numbers unsustainable over the long-term. The stage is set for a beatdown, so lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Red Sox. | |||||||
09-22-20 | Lakers v. Nuggets +6.5 | Top | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 28 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I think Denver is definitely being undervauled in this spot. The Nuggets have done extremely well in this position throughout the post-season, having already come back from two 3-1 series deficits to win in three games. The Lakers got a "lucky" three-point shot from Anthony Davis in Game 2 to win, but if he'd missed, then Denver had a legitimate shot at winning that game in OT and we'd be looking at Game 3 completely differently. The Lakers are going to be tested here now to see if they truly have that "killer" instinct, as Denver will be giving its "best shot" to try and avoid the dreaded 0-3 hole. Outright victory? Of course that's a very real possibility, but in the end I'm grabbing up all these points! T.M. Prediction: 108-106 Lakers. | |||||||
09-22-20 | Cardinals v. Royals +116 | 5-0 | Loss | -100 | 27 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Royals (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Royals won 4-1 over the Cardinals yesterday and I think they'll find a way to get the job done here as well. The visitors go with Austin Gomber, who is 0-1 with a 2.37 ERA and who has had success against the Royals, but whose sample size is just too small to draw any firm conclusions from. I like Brady Singer here and the Royals, who appear to be loving playing the role of spoiler as the season concludes. Great value on the home side here! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Royals. | |||||||
09-22-20 | Rays -127 v. Mets | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -127 | 26 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rays (10* BEST OF THE BEST). The Rays won 2-1 last night and I think they'll find a way to get the job done here as well. Tampa wants to keep the foot on the gas with the Yanks breathing down its neck. And with a tough three-game series at home against the Phillies to end the season, Tampa does not have the luxury to relax whatsoever. Blake Snell is 4-1 with a 3.05 ERA and I give him a big nod over his counterpart Seth Lugo, who is 2-3 with a 4.34 ERA. Lugo most recently was shelled for six runs off eight hits over one inning against the Phillies on Thursday. Lay the reasonable price, but expect a massive blowout! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Rays. | |||||||
09-21-20 | Saints -5.5 v. Raiders | Top | 24-34 | Loss | -106 | 131 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Saints (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). I look at these two teams and I look at what each did in Week 1 and I just can't get a firm read immediately on the Raiders. Oakland won 34-30 in Carolina in Week 1, but that was against a very weak Panthers team. The Saints beat the Bucs 34-23 in Week 1 and Tampa just went on to hammer Carolina 31-17. The Panthers are like an expansion team this year. New Orleans is the deeper and more talented team and I like Drew Brees and company to fire against this suspect Raiders' secondary early and often. Las Vegas is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven overall, while the Saints are 4-1 ATS in their last five overall. I like the better in form team to deliver on the National stage; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 29-19 New Orleans. | |||||||
09-21-20 | Stars v. Lightning UNDER 5 | Top | 2-3 | Push | 0 | 11 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Stars/Bolts UNDER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). Game 1 landed on right on the total in the Stars 4-1 victory. Dallas believes that it now has the "blue print" to beat the Lightning and I expect an identical game-plan here, to slow down and clog up the middle and not allow these talented Lightning players any room to skate. These two teams feature two of the best goaltending units in the league and combined with their already top notch defensive tendencies, I expect Game 2 to be an even more defensive affair than Game 1. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Lightning. | |||||||
09-21-20 | White Sox v. Indians +101 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 101 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Indians have won three of their last four and they need to continue to win basically every game moving forward if they have any hopes at getting included into the field of eight playoff teams in the AL this year. Aaron Civale is 3-5 with a 3.80 ERA and he won't be lacking for motivation for the Tribe, as he's posted an 0-3 record over his last five trips to the hill. Dane Dunning (2-0, 2.33) has been excellent in his limited time for the White Sox, who are in race to the finish line as well. The White Sox are coming off a series loss in Cincinnati vs. a desperate Reds team and I expect the same to happen here vs. this hungry Indians club. Great value on Cleveland tonight! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Tribe. | |||||||
09-20-20 | Patriots v. Seahawks OVER 44.5 | Top | 30-35 | Win | 100 | 107 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Pats OVER (10* TRADE-MARK). Seattle CRUSHED the Falcons by a score of 38-25 last weekend. The only issue was, the Hawks allowed 500 yards of offense. Seattle will once again look to keep the foot on the gas in prime time on Sunday night with the New England Patriots coming to town. The Pats looked decent in their 21-11 win over the Fish, but the pressure is going to be on to match pace with the high-flying Hawks today. Cam Newton will be given the green light here to test his suspect Hawks secondary and when the smoke does finally clear at the end of this one, I look for this total to sail well over the posted number. Play the over! T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Seattle. | |||||||
09-20-20 | Nuggets v. Lakers UNDER 214 | Top | 103-105 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lakers/Nuggets UNDER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). The Lakers dominated in Game 1, pulling away for the 126-114 victory. Game 2 though I believe will be a much more defensive affair, as I expect LA to build off its final three quarters. The Nuggets won the first quarter of Game 1 by a score of 38-36, but the Lakers made adjustments and then clamped down defensively the rest of the way. Anthony Davis is a matchup issue for Jokic and that in turn puts added pressure onto Jamal Murray. The Nuggets are also dealing with fatigue after back-to-back seven-game series. I'm banking on a much more methodically paced affair in Game 2; play the under! T.M. Prediction: 107-100 Lakers. | |||||||
09-20-20 | Chiefs v. Chargers OVER 47.5 | 23-20 | Loss | -109 | 103 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chiefs/Chargers OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Chiefs destroyed the Texans at home on Opening night and with a couple extra days off this week to prepare, I like Patrick Mahomes and company to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish. RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire had 138 yards rushing and a TD in the win over the Texans, so this KC offense is looking deadlier than ever. The Chargers barely held on for a win on the road over Cincinnati and while its defense looked decent against a rookie in his first ever NFL start, I think it'll be exposed here. Note as well that the Chargers have seen the total go over the number in eight of their last 12 after allowing 14 points or less in a win in their last outing. Expect this one to sail well over once the final whistle sounds! T.M. Prediction: 33-25 KC. | |||||||
09-20-20 | Washington Football Team v. Cardinals -6.5 | Top | 15-30 | Win | 100 | 103 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cardinals (10* GAME OF WEEK). The Cardinals thumped the 49ers on the road in Week 1 and I like this young and dynamic team to lay the hammer down at home here as well in Week 2 in this favorable matchup. Washington beat Philadelphia 27-17, behind eight sacks, but I think it'll be a step behind today in trying to slow down Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins. Arizona is interestintly 7-2 ATS in its last nine Week 2 contests, while note that Washington is just 3-8 ATS in its last 11 in the same position. I'm laying the points and so should you! T.M. Prediction: 30-17 Arizona. | |||||||
09-20-20 | White Sox v. Reds -103 | Top | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 5 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Reds (10* MONEY-MAKER). The White Sox have clinched a spot in the playoffs. The Reds won their sixth straight game in yesterday's 7-1 win and I don't expect them to take the foot off the gas here with the finish line in sight. Dylan Cease is 5-2 with a 3.20 ERA for Chicago, I simply feel he's in the wrong place at the wrong time here. The Reds are 26-26 and they go with Michael Lorenzon, who is 2-1 with a 4.16 ERA. The Reds though are 6-0 in their last six vs. right-handed pitching and 5-0 in their last five at home, while the Sox are just 1-2 in Cease's last three road starts. Look for the hungry home dog to deliver the goods! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cincinnati. | |||||||
09-20-20 | Broncos +9 v. Steelers | 21-26 | Win | 100 | 100 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Broncos (8* ATS UPSET). Am I predicting an outright upset here? I'm not. Pittsburgh is coming off an unispiring 26-16 road win over the Giants. The defense looked good, but the offense was pedestrian, despite Big Ben connecting on three TD's. But of significance here is the fact that the Steelers lost three starting offensive linemen to injury. Drew Lock and the Broncos looked decent against a good Titans team, losing on a last second FG by a score of 16-14. While Philip Lindsay was lost to injury, they still have Melvin Gordon. Note that the Steelers are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven at home and only 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 as a favorite, while the Broncos are 6-2 ATS in their last eight as an underdog and 4-0 ATS in their last four after scoring 15 points or less in their previous outing. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 21-19 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
09-20-20 | 49ers -7 v. Jets | Top | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 4 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: SF 49ers The 49ers are coming off a home loss to the Cardinals and they travel across the country to play an early morning contest without a few key players on both sides of the ball. Despite that though, I think that Jimmy G and company will have more than enough to easily destroy the hapless Jets. Sam Darnold and company looked pathetic in their loss in Buffalo. Darnold's entire receiving corps is in shambles right now and Le'Veon Bell was held to just six yards rushing. The 49ers' defense is going to have a field day in New York today. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout of epic proportions! T.M. Prediction: 37-13 Niners. | |||||||
09-19-20 | Tyron Woodley v. Colby Covington UNDER 4.5 | Top | 0-1 | Push | 0 | 32 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Woodley/Covington UNDER 4.5 RNDS (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Both fighter will be swinging for the fences here. Woodley is 38 and he won't be afraid to eat a few punches from Covington, who doesn't hit particularly hard. Covington though will be relentless as he tries to wear out the older fighter and it could just work. Woodley got bumrushed by Burns earlier in the year, so he'll be out to prove that he still has his explosiveness. Look for these two fighters to end this one early and avoid the judges decision. T.M. Prediction: Sub/KO/TKO. | |||||||
09-19-20 | Ryan Spann +110 v. Johnny Walker | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 31 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ryan Spann (10* PLAY OF THE WEEK). Johnny Walker is 17-5 overall and 3-2 in the UFC. Walker ended his first three fights by KO in the first round, but he enters on a downward trend having lost two straight. Ryan Spann is 18-5 and since entering the UFC he's won four in a row. Spann is on an upward trajectory and I think he continues that momentum here. Spann is more precise and quicker than Walker and I think he'll avoid getting into a slug-fest here. Spann has the higher MMA IQ here and I expect him to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. T.M. Prediction: Sub/KO/TKO/Decision. | |||||||
09-19-20 | Celtics -3 v. Heat | Top | 117-106 | Win | 100 | 27 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Celtics (10* TRADE-MARK). Boston is once again favored in Game 3, despite being down 0-2. This is it for the Celtics, do or die, now or never. An 0-3 hole to this Miami Heat team will clearly be too much to climb out of, as Larry Bird isn't going to be walking through that door to save the day. The Celtics though have looked dominant at times in this series, but Miami has a real "mental" thing going against everyone right now. That's not something though that can last forever and I believe Boston finally comes out and gives a full four quarter effort. I expect the Heat to finally stumble here in a big way and that's why I'm laying the points in Game 3! T.M. Prediction: 106-100 Boston. | |||||||
09-19-20 | Miami-FL v. Louisville UNDER 65 | Top | 47-34 | Loss | -110 | 83 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Florida/Louisville UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Both teams posted victories to start the season. Now the competition level ramps up though with the start of ACC play for each. While the Hurricanes destroyed the Cardinals 52-27 last season, I expect a much lower-scoring affair this time around. Having the start of the season delayed isn't going to help these teams and the lack of practice will be evident in my estimation. Miami won 31-14 vs. UAB last week, posting 495 yards of offense and conceding just 285. Cam'Ron Harris was a standout with 134 rushing yards and a TD. I expect to see A LOT of Harris today as well. The Cardinals rely on their passing game, as last weeky the smashed WKU 35-31. QB Micale Cunningham though will be cautious to test this tough Hurricanes secondary on the though. D'Eriq King is just as deadly with his feet as well, so look for Miami to "control" the clock while on offense. This number is WAY too high, I'm hammering the under! T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Louisville. | |||||||
09-19-20 | Nationals -109 v. Marlins | 3-7 | Loss | -109 | 25 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nationals (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). These teams split a pair of games in yesterday's double header. The Nats won't be defending their World Series title, but I think Patrick Corbin will get the better of Pablo Lopez today. And the reason is that Corbin is pitching on six days rest and that's very significant, as note that he has a 4.03 ERA when throwing on four days rest, a 3.83 ERA with five and when pitching with six or more days of rest between starts, he's 14-7 with a 3.40 ERA in 26 career such cases. Also note that he's 4-2 with a 3.36 ERA in 11 career starts vs. the Fish. The Marlins are just 4-5 when Lopez pitches this year and he's a poor 1-2 with a ballooned 7.24 ERA in six career outings vs. Washington. I'm banking on a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Nats. | |||||||
09-19-20 | Blue Jays -141 v. Phillies | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -141 | 25 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* HOME RUN CLUB). This a "no brainer" in my opinion. The Jays are FOR SURE the hungrier "dog" in this fight. They're the favorite, but they should be a much bigger one here. Hyun-Jin Ryu has been fantastic for the Jays so far this year and he's had a lot of success vs. the Phillies throughout his career. Vince Velasquez is have a terrible season for Philadelphia and he has a 5.46 ERA over two career outings vs. Toronto. The Blue Jays were just swept in New York and they lost both games of yesterday's double-header and I think they'll come out completely focussed on the task at hand. All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value!" T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. | |||||||
09-18-20 | Nuggets +7 v. Lakers | Top | 114-126 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* MONEY-MAKER). Both teams have struggled in the first games of their series so far in the playoffs. The Lakers lost the first game vs. the Blazers, before then winning four straight, and then they lost the first to the Rockets, before then posting four wins in a row. The Nuggets have had to come back from two 3-1 deficits to advance and I think they carry over their momentum from their recent epic upset of the Clippers. Denver is getting unbelievable play from big man Nikola Jokic and the Lakers are going to be forced to double him. The Nuggets' bench is producing and Denver has been "lights out" defensively. Also, the Lakers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six when playing on three or more days rest, while the Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last six as an underdog. Outright win?! Of course, but I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: 104-102 Nuggets. | |||||||
09-18-20 | Indians -1.5 v. Tigers | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians RUN LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). The Indians got back on track with a 10-3 win in this series opener and with their playoff hopes on the line once again, I'm expecting a similar final outcome here as well. And because of that, I'm going to lay the 1.5 runs for the much more reasonable price. Zach Plesac is 3-2 with a 2.20 ERA for the Indians, while Michael Fulmer is a disastrous 0-2 with a 9.27 ERA for the Tigers. Considering the massive talent discrepancy and current form of these starting pitchers, I definitely love this hungry visiting to lay a severe whooping on this overmatched home side! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Indians. | |||||||
09-17-20 | Bengals v. Browns -6 | Top | 30-35 | Loss | -103 | 36 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Browns (10* TRADE-MARK). Cincinnati looked "OK" in its 16-13 loss to the Chargers. LA looked poor though. The Bengals defense looked good, but the offense wasn't impressive at all, with rookie QB Joe Burrow missing five open receivers on long balls, overthrowing his targets. Burrow did have a good fourth quarter, but the sample size is still too small. The Browns were poor in their loss to the Ravens, but I am not going to read too much into their Week 1 setback. The NFL is about making adjustments week to week and if we're going to "forgive" the Bengals with their performance last week, then we must also do so for Cleveland. I think the quick turn-around benefits the home side here and I love the Browns' defense to dominate as well. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 27-13 Browns. | |||||||
09-17-20 | Heat +2.5 v. Celtics | Top | 106-101 | Win | 100 | 27 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Miami rolled to an impressive win in Game 1 and I think the Heat now have the blue-print to dominate in Game 2 as well. Boston jumped out to an early lead in Game 1, but Miami maintained its composure and then got better as the game progressed. I think the tables will be turned here though, as I look for the Heat to get out to the early lead today. Boston gave its best shot in Game 1 after its gruelling seven game series win over the Raptors and I think fatigue will play a major part in this game down the stretch. While clearly I think the outright win is possible, in the end let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 110-100 Miami. | |||||||
09-17-20 | Indians v. Tigers OVER 7.5 | Top | 10-3 | Win | 107 | 27 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians/Tigers OVER (10*) The Indians have lost eight straight and they're coming off another low-scoring loss at the Cubs just last night. Clearly this is a "do or die" series for the Tribe and while their ace Shane Bieber is likely going to dominate here, I think that Tigers' rookie starter Casey Mize, who is winless over his first six stars with a 5.85 ERA, will get the hook early in this one. Look for this one to fly WAY OVER once it's all said and done! T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Indians. | |||||||
09-17-20 | Blue Jays +1.5 v. Yankees | Top | 7-10 | Loss | -101 | 24 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays RUN LINE (10*). Yes Chase Anderson and the Blue Jays have been struggling of late, but I think that Toronto will dig deep here and deliver the goods in the finale. The Yanks have the first two games of this series and are on quite the roll, but regression does seem imminent. Note as well that Toronto is 7-2 in its last nine after two straight road losses. Just in case, I'll grab the extra 1.5 runs of insurance! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. | |||||||
09-17-20 | Giants v. Mariners +132 | 6-4 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners (8*). Off yesterday's 9-3 setback, I like the Mariners to dig deep here and find a way to get the job done on Thursday. Tyler Anderson and Nick Margevicius are a "wash" here in my opinion. Note though that the Giants are just 2-7 in their last nine after scoring nine or more runs in an interleague victory in their previous outing. I think San Fran gets caught complacent here, great value on the home side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mariners. | |||||||
09-16-20 | Diamondbacks v. Angels OVER 9 | Top | 9-6 | Win | 100 | 30 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Angels/D-Backs over (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Yesterday's series opener blasted past the posted number in the D-Backs 9-8 victory and I think a similar final combined score is in the cards in the second between these clubs on Wednesday night. The visitors go with Caleb Smith, who is 0-0 with a 3.00 ERA and who gave up one run over three innings in his debut vs. Seattle last week. Smith has always shown promise, but I think the larger workload here isn't going to help his peripherals one bit. Angels starter Dylan Bundy is 5-2 with a 2.48 ERA and he's been one of the lone bright spots for the Angels this season. That said I find it interesting to note that the Angels have seen the total go over the number in ten of their last 16 after allowing nine or more runs in a one run loss to an opponent at home in their previous outing. This number is a little, let's hammer the over! T.M. Prediction: 10-6 Angels. | |||||||
09-16-20 | Royals v. Tigers +107 | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 27 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tigers (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). I think the visiting side is overpriced here, which swings the value in favor for the home side. The home side goes with rookie Tarik Skubal, who is just 1-2 with a 7.27 ERA. Skubal will look to shake off a shaky start by facing Brady Singer, who is 2-4 with a 4.66 ERA. Singer comes in off one of his best ever starts, taking a no-hitting into the eighth vs. Cleveland on Thursday. Can you say "letdown spot" here?! Note as well that the Tigers are 7-2 in their last nine after allowing five or more runs in a shutout loss to an opponent in their previous outing. I think great value on the home side in this one! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Tigers. | |||||||
09-16-20 | Mets -125 v. Phillies | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 27 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mets (10* MONEY-MAKER). The Phillies won yesterday's series opener, but after dropping four straight, I like the visitors to bounce back here with ace Jacob deGrom on the mound. Wheeler's been great this season, but so too has deGrom. deGrom is also 8-1 with a 2.16 ERA in 16 starts vs. the Phillies lifetime. Several key sluggers will be out for the home side today and I expect that to finally "catch up" to it this evening. Look for New York to capatalize! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mets. | |||||||
09-15-20 | Nuggets +7.5 v. Clippers | Top | 104-89 | Win | 100 | 29 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* MONEY-MAKER). Denver has once again come back from a 3-1 deficit and they're on the brink of eliminating the heavily favored Clippers. Do I think that they have a legitimate shot at winning this one outright?! I do! However, this one definitely has the feel of whichever of these hungry teams has its hands on the ball last is going to win. The Nuggets HAVE the blue-print now to beat LA and note that they're 5-0 straight up when facing elimination in 2020 so far. Expect this one to come down to the wire and grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 104-103 Clippers. | |||||||
09-15-20 | Nuggets v. Clippers UNDER 207.5 | Top | 104-89 | Win | 100 | 29 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat/C's OVER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Analysis posted at least 8 hours before game time. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
09-15-20 | Indians +135 v. Cubs | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH). I like the Tribe to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night here. Cleveland is now in third place in the AL Central, but it still has a shot at the playoffs. Chicago sits atop the NL Central, so the pressure is off the Cubs right now. I think this'll be the difference maker in the opener of this interleague series. Yu Darvish is 7-2 with a 1.77 ERA this year for the Cubs and it's difficult to say anything negative about his bounce back season, but regression at some point does seem imminent. Also note that he's 1-3 with a 4.12 ERA in six career appearances vs. the Tribe. Carlos Carrasco didn't fare well in his only start vs. the Cubs, but note that Cleveland is 7-2 in its last nine interleague road games as an underdog in the +135 to +155 range. This one has "upset" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Indians. | |||||||
09-15-20 | Islanders v. Lightning UNDER 5 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 124 | 28 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning/Isles UNDER (10* TOTAL BEST OF THE BEST). I think this is going to be an extremely defensive affair. The Islanders on the brink of elimination and if they're going to get back into this series, they're going to have to do what they do best and that's play a very tight, disciplined defensive game and wait for the Lightning to make the first mistake. Tampa is getting unreal goaltending and won't be pressing anything here, it now has the luxury to sit back and wait for New York to falter. Finally note that the Lightnign have seen the total go under the number in 14 of their last 22 after allowing one goal or less in a three goals or greater victory against an opponent in their previous outing. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Lightning. | |||||||
09-15-20 | Blue Jays +150 v. Yankees | Top | 6-20 | Loss | -100 | 27 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* BEAST). Toronto took two of three from New York last week at home and I think it'll find a way to get the job done here as well. Toronto sends Taijuan Walker to the mound and I'll give him the slight nod over his counterpart Deivi Garcia. Garcia was sharp against the Jays last week, but the rookie has still only thrown in three big league contests and now that Toronto has gotten a good look at him, I believe that'll be the difference maker in the end. Great value on the hard-hitting visiting side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. | |||||||
09-15-20 | Heat v. Celtics UNDER 210 | Top | 117-114 | Loss | -114 | 27 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat/C's OVER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). The Heat suffocated the Pacers in four games and then they blanketed the Bucks in five. Miami is a defensive minded club under Eric Spolestra and I look for the team to double down on that end tonight as it looks to take advantage of this weary Celtics team, which enters this series off an exhausting seven-game series victory over the Raptors. Boston will also be leaning on its strength in Game 1 in my estimation as it looks to create offense, through its incredibly stout defense as well. Also note that Miami has seen the total go under the number in 11 of its last 17 after having four or more days of rest between games. This number is high, play the under! T.M. Prediction: 104-102 Boston. | |||||||
09-14-20 | Stars +1.5 v. Golden Knights | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 27 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Stars +1.5 (10* PUCK LINE GAME OF THE WEEK). The Knights are down 1-3 and they're still heavily favored as we head into Game 5. The Stars are Kryptonite to the Knights and I think that trend carries over here. Anton Khudobin and this Dallas defense has completely taken the wind out of Las Vegas's offensive attack and I don't think anything's going to change here. This is simply a bad matchup for the Knights. Note that Las Vegas is a poor 2-5 in their last seven as a playoff favorite, while the Stars are 5-1 in their last six after scoring two goals or less in their previous outing. I'm going to lay the price though here and get 1.5 goals just in case! T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Stars. | |||||||
09-14-20 | Twins -115 v. White Sox | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Twins (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). It's Jose Berrios of the Twins vs. Dylan Cease of the White Sox. Berrios if 4-3 with a 4.40 ERA, while Cease is 5-2 with a 3.33 ERA. Minnesota though has a 4-2 edge over the White Sox in the seeason series and I think it'll find a way to get the job done here in the opener of this important set on Monday night. Both teams are on fire at the plate, but note that Berrios is an amazing 12-2 with a 2.69 ERA in 16 stars vs. the Sox, while Cease is 0-2 with a 16.71 ERA in two career outings vs. the Twins. Look for Minnesota to come out on top at the end of this one! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. |
