08-17-21 | Blue Jays -1.5 v. Nationals | 6-12 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 34 m | Show | |
I like the Toronto Blue Jays on the runline against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. After losing 3 straight games the Blue Jays came up with a big 8-3 win on Sunday. Alek Manoah (5-1, 2.59 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Blue Jays here and he has been having a godd season thus far. The team has won their last 3 games when he has started, all of them by 4+ runs. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in a game in his last 6 starts. The Nationals have not been playing well losing their last 7 games straight. Erick Fedde (4-8, 5.12 ERA) is starting for the Nationals here and he has been credited with 4 straight losses. He has allowed an average of 3+ runs in his last 8 starts for the Nats. The Nats have not been playing well and I expect that to continue here as the Jays beat up on them. Blue Jays win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Blue Jays. | |||||||
08-16-21 | Astros -1.5 v. Royals | 6-7 | Loss | -107 | 21 h 7 m | Show | |
I like the Houston Astros on the runline against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The Astros had their 4 game win streak broken on Sunday and they will want to get back in the win column here. Before falling 3-1 to the Angels on Sunday, the Astros won their previous 4 games by 3+ runs in each. Jake Odorizzi (5-6, 4.59 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Astros and he has been alright this season. The team has won 3 games in the last 4 he has started in, all of those wins by 2+ runs. The Kansas City Royals have definitely hit a rough patch getting swept by the Cardinals over the weekend, currently on a 4 game losing skid. The Royals will be starting Carlos Hernandez (3-1, 4.11 ERA) on the mound and he has been having a decent season. He has pitched well in his last 3 starts, allowing no more than 1 earned run in each game. He has yet to see this Astros lineup this season though, and I think he is due for a let down here. The Astros have been pouring on the runs lately and I expect that to continue here. Astros win by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Astros. | |||||||
08-14-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Mets | 2-1 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 48 m | Show | |
I am on the los Angeles Dodgers on the runline against the New York Mets on Saturdsy evening. The Dodgers have been on a roll lately, picking up 5 wins in 6 games. They will have Buehler (12-2, 2.13 ERA) and he has been having a great season. He has not allowed more than 2 earned runs in a game in his last 6. The team has won 15 games of his 23 total starts this season, 13 of those games were by 2+ runs. The Mets just had a 3 game win streak broken by the Dodgers, their previous 4 before that though, they had lost all of those by 2+ runs. Taijuan Walker (7-7, 3.89 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Mets and he has not pitched well in his last few. The team has lost the last 4 games that he started in, 3 of them by 2+ runs. He has also allowed 23 earned runs total in his last 6 starts. I think he will be in for a beating in this one as the dodgers continue to roll. The Dodgers win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Dodgers. | |||||||
08-14-21 | Braves -1.5 v. Nationals | 12-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 43 m | Show | |
I like the Atlanta Braves on the runline against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. The Braves have already played the Nationals 4 times in the last week, winning 3 of those games, 2 of them by -1.5. Max Fried (9-7, 3.91 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Braves and he has pitched very well lately, allowing just 3 earned runs total in his last 3 starts. The Nationals are currently in a big slump, they are on a 5 game losing streak, 2 of those losses by 2+ runs. The Nationals will be starting Patrick Corbin (6-11, 5.83 ERA) and he has not been pitching well lately. The team has lost the last 5 games he has started in, Corbin getting credited for 4 of those losses. He has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of those 5 games, the team losing by 2+ runs in 3 of those games. Corbin has really struggled this season and I expect that to continue here. Atlanta is on a bit of a roll so I think they will win this game by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Braves. | |||||||
08-14-21 | Broncos v. Vikings +2.5 | 33-6 | Loss | -104 | 53 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the Minnesota Vikings +2.5 on Saturday against the Denver Broncos. The Vikings will be at home for their 1st NFL preseason game this year and i think they have a good chance to even win this game, or at least cover the +2.5 points. I can't imagine that the starters will be playing too long in this game, but I expect to see them in the 1st half putting in a good effort. Even once the starters come off the field, this Vikings team has a lot of depth on their side and still mhave a few open positions on the team up for grabs on both offense and defense. They will want to give it their all in this game to try to earn a spot on the team for this season. The Broncos have a very good team, but they still have a big question mark at quarterback. Bridgewater will likely be seen in this game, but could be a little nervous going back to the place where he suffered a massive injury that derailed his carreer. Drew Lock will be seen as well, but he is not making any more progress than Bridgewater at training camp. I don't think the Broncos will be moving the ball very well against the Vikings so I like Minnesota to keep this a close game. I think there is good value on them here at home in the 1st game for either team in many months. T.M. Prediction: 17-16 Vikings. | |||||||
08-12-21 | Brewers -1.5 v. Cubs | 17-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers on the runline against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. The Brewers have been rolling lately on a 3 game win streak, all 3 wins coming against these Cubs. The Brewers -1.5 has cashed in all 3 of those games. Milwaukee is 12-3 against the Cubs this year and the -1.5 has cashed 10 of those games. Brandon Woodruff (7-6, 2.23 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has had a pretty good season. The team has lost the last 3 games that Woodruff has started in but he did not get blown out himself, allowing no more than 3 earned runs in any of those. The Cubs have been terrible lately with just 1 win in 10 games. They have lost 7 straight in a row, all but 1 of those losses were by 2+ runs. The Cubs will be starting Kyle Hendricks (13-4, 3.68 ERA) and he has had a good year. He has been awarded with 11 straight wins but, I think that will end here. He has allowed 8 earned runs in his last 3 starts, and now he faces a Brewers lineup 30 runs in their last 5. These 2 teams are headed in opposite directions, the Brewers have been pounding the ball lately while the Cubs have been getting decimated. The Brewers have already cleared the runline in all games of this series and I expect that to continue here. Brewers win -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Brewers. | |||||||
08-11-21 | Marlins v. Padres -1.5 | 7-0 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 36 m | Show | |
I like the San Diego Padres runline over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday afternoon. The Padres have won their last 4 straight, cashing the runline in the 3 of those games. Ryan Weathers (4-4, 4.26 ERA) is starting on the mound for them and the team has not done well when he has started lately. The Padres have lost their last 4 games with Weathers starting. He has struggled a ton in his last 2 starts, allowing a combined 14 runs in just those 2 games. I think this is a great chance for him to bounce back here against a very bad Miami Marlins team. The Marlins have been on a terrible skid, currently on a 5 game losing streak, they have lost 4 of those by 3+ runs allowing less than 6 runs total in none of those games. Sandy Alcantara (6-10, 3.70 ERA) is starting for the Marlins and his last few starts have been rough. The team has picked up 1 win in the last 5 games he has started in, all 4 of those losses by 2+ runs. Both of these teams have been moving in opoosite directions lately, with the Padres on a roll and the Marlins on a slump. I think this is another game that the Marlins get beat up in and the Padres clear the runline yet again. Padres win by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. | |||||||
08-10-21 | A's v. Indians +1.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 15 h 54 m | Show | |
I am on the Cleveland Indians +1.5 against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday evening. Cleveland is currently on a 2 game win streak, the Indians +1.5 has cashed in their last 4 straight though. Triston McKenzie (1-5, 5.89 ERA) is starting on the mound in this game and he has struggled a lot this season. He has been credited with 4 straight losses and has allowed 16 earned runs in his last 4 starts. I think that will finally turn around here as the Indians seem to be moving in the right direction recently. The Athletics have been on a hot streak lately winning their last 4 straight. Sean Manaea (8-7, 3.26 ERA) is starting here for the A's and he has struggled in his last few starts. Manaea has only been credited with 2 wins in his last 6 starts and is coming off a game where he allowed 5 earned runs in his last. I am stepping in front of this hot Oakland team as I expect the Indians to keep this game close even if they still get the loss. Cleveland Indians on the runline Tuesday evening. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Athletics. | |||||||
08-09-21 | Marlins v. Padres -1.5 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 23 h 30 m | Show |
I like the San Diego Padres on the runline Monday night against the Miami Marlins. The Padres have cashed on the runline in 4 games of their last 6. Joe Musgrove (7-7, 2.87 ERA) will be starting on the mound for San Diego and he has been having a good year thus far. He has pitched exceptionally well in his last 3 starts allowing a total of 3 earned runs in those 3 games. The Marlins have taken a beating lately currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing each of those by 12, 3, and 5 runs, allowing a total of 34 runs scored against them in those 3 games. Zach Thompson (2-4, 2.53 ERA) will be starting for Miami here and the team has seen better days than with him on the mound. Miami has lost the last 5 games that Thompson has started in, all but 1 of those by 2+ runs. This is thompson's 1st year in the MLB and he has already been lit up by these Padres allowing 3 earned runs in a 5-2 loss to them just a few weeks ago. This Padres lineup is very talented and with the way the Marlins have been getting lit up lately, this should be another destruction of Miami. San Diego wins this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Padres. | |||||||
08-08-21 | White Sox -1.5 v. Cubs | 9-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
I like the Chicago White Sox on the runline against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday night. The White Sox have already taken the 1st 2 games of this series, both by 2+ runs, and they will be going for the sweep here. Dylan Cease (8-6, 3.92 ERA) is starting on the mound for the White Sox and he has been pretty solid all season. In all 8 of the games that he was awarded the win in, the White Sox went on to win all of those by 2+ runs, cashing that runline every single time. The Cubs have lost twice in a row now to these White Sox, but the slump stretches back even further as they have only been able to muster up 2 wins in 11 games. The Cubs will be starting Zach Davies (6-8, 4.79 ERA) here and he has been struggling a lot lately. The Cubs only have 1 win in the last 7 games that Davies has made an appearance in. He has not pitched a game with less than 2 earned runs allowed in that time frame, totally collapsing in his last 2 games allowing a total of 11 runs between the 2. He will be in trouble against this White Sox lineup on Sunday night. The White Sox take this one by 2+ runs. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 White Sox. | |||||||
08-07-21 | Toronto v. Calgary -6.5 | 23-20 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the Calgary Stampeders to COVER THE -6.5 spread against the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday. The Calgary Stampeders ended the 2019 season with a 12-6 record making it all the way semi-final before getting stopped short by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Toronto Argonauts ended the 2019 season with a 4-14 record failing to make the playoffs. The Stampeders recently hired all new coaching staff and have a lot of young, new players added to their roster for this season. This team may not be the exact same one that has dominated the CFL for years, but they have a lot of energy with all these young additions and they should make an impact here. Back in the 2019 season, Calgary ended the year off winning 70% of their home games while the Argos struggled on the road winning less than half of their road games. It's a new season and after not playing last year, these players are excited to get back on the field. Between the energy of the players and the home crowd, it will be too much for Toronto to handle. Stampeders get the win at home here by 7+. T.M. Prediction: 33-20 Stampeders. | |||||||
08-05-21 | Indians v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 18 m | Show | |
I am on the Toronto Blue Jays runline over the Cleveland Indians on Thursday evening. The Blue Jays have been on a tear recently winning 6 games in their last 7, all of those wins coming by 2+ runs. Ross Stripling (4-6, 4.75 ERA) will be on the mound in this game and although he has had a shaky season thus far, he has only allowed 3 runs total in his last 2 starts. The Blue Jays have also been pouring on the runs lately scoring 45 on their streak here. The Indians will be starting Triston McKenzie (1-4, 6.11 ERA) on the mound and he has been gettin beaten up this season. He has allowed 13 runs in his last 3 starts and with the way Toronto is hitting currently, he will be in trouble here. The Jays have already cleared the runline in 2 of the 3 games this series and they will be sure to cap off this series with another blowout. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Blue Jays. | |||||||
08-03-21 | Indians v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
I like the Toronto Blue Jays on the runline Tuesday againt the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland just broke the 4 game win streak that the Blue Jays were on and Toronto will be looking for some revenge here with their ace on the mound. Hyun Jin Ryu (10-5, 3.26 ERA) has been pitching very well lately allowing just 5 runs in his last 4 starts. The team has also won their last 4 games by 5+ runs when Ryu has made an appearance in the game. Zach Plesac (6-3, 4.26 ERA) will be starting for Cleveland and he has been shaky this season allowing 3+ runs in a majority of his games. The Blue Jays have a lot of talent in their lineup and should have no problems scoring runs in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Blue Jays. | |||||||
07-25-21 | Cardinals v. Reds -1.5 | 10-6 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Reds runline (8* MONEY-MAKER). No need to over think this one. The Reds have taken the first two games of this series over their rivals and I expect them to find a way to break out the brooms. This is a favorable starting pitching matchup for them as well. The Reds see Sonny Gray (2-5, 3.65 ERA) toe the slab this afternoon. He's coming off a rare poor outing against the red hot Brewers last weekend, allowing five runs and striking out six over five innings. Gray is opposed by the erratic Johan Oviedo (0-5, 4.81), who has been called up from Triple A recently. The rookie is 0-3 with a 5.98 ERA on the road and I expect him to struggle again here in this difficult road venue. Reds not only win, they win BIG! The play is Cincy on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Reds. | |||||||
07-24-21 | A's -1.5 v. Mariners | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: A's (8* MONEY-MAKER). Likely a lot the public money is going to be on the A's tonight, but hey, the public wins 50 percent of the time as well. And after their three-game win streak was snapped, I think this is a favorable starting pitching matchup to bounce back on for the visiting side. The A's see ace Chris Bassitt (10-3, 3.31 ERA) take the hill, while Logan Gilbert (4-2, 3.50) counters for the M's. Bassitt has been great on the road and I think that Gilbert is primed for regression. This line could/should in fact be much larger in my opinion; the play is the A's! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oakland. | |||||||
07-22-21 | Rangers +1.5 v. Tigers | 5-7 | Loss | -158 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rangers +1.5 RUN-LINE (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Texas is hungry to break a seven game slide. This is the finale of a four-game series. Detroit won 14-0, 4-1, and then 4-2 yesterday. While I do think the outright is possible, in the end I'm going to lay the reasonable price for the extra 1.5 runs. Clearly, Mike Foltynewicz (2-9, 5.91 ERA), is nothing to write home about for the Rangers today. But neither is Tyler Alexander (1-1, 4.40) for the Tigers. In fact, Foltynewicz has better peripherals, including WHIP at 1.34, compared to 1.35 for Alexander. This one is going to be decided late, so I'm grabbing the 1.5 runs! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Texas. | |||||||
07-21-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers RUN LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). Logan Webb (4-3, 3.54 ERA) has been consistently inconsistent for the Giants of late. Overall the rookie is having a fine campaign, but I think he's in well over his head here against Julio Urias (12-3, 3.78) and the defending champs. Note as well that LA is 7-1 in its last eight after scoring eight or more runs in a home win in its last outing. Look for the Dodgers to lay the hammer down here; the play is the Dodgers on the run-line! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 LA. | |||||||
07-20-21 | Suns +5 v. Bucks | Top | 98-105 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). If you're watching and wagering on Game 6, then you know the story lines and the cast of characters. You know the teams strengths and weaknesses. This is it for the Suns, who had the 2-0 lead early in this series. I say though that the Bucks finally have a letdown here. The more desperate team is going to win this contest and that's the Suns. Also note that Phoenix is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to revenge two or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row to an opponent. Grab the points, expect a nail-biter! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY | |||||||
07-16-21 | Rangers v. Blue Jays -1.5 | Top | 2-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays RUN LINE (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I don't follow any one single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with one's approach is the best way to secure profit over the longterm. Sometimes I completely dissect a contest and look at every tiny angle and stat I can get my hands on, but other times I use the "KISS" approach. Keep it simple stupid. This one here I'm giving the good old "eye test" and in my opinion, the massive talent discrepancy on the mound tonight absolutely justifies in laying the 1.5 runs for the near pick-em price. Jordan Lyles (5-5, 4.86 ERA) has been decent this year for Texas, but I think he'll struggle against this hard-hitting Jays line-up that's poised for a big second-half. Robbie Ray (7-4, 3.13) has a 1.05 WHIP and 130:24 K/BB over 100.2 innings for the Jays, and he just struck out 11 over seven shutouting inings in a win over the Rays in his last outing. This one has blowout written all over it; lay the 1.5 runs, the play is the Jays on the run-line! T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Toronto. | |||||||
07-11-21 | Suns +4 v. Bucks | Top | 100-120 | Loss | -101 | 35 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I really respect Giannis Antetokounmpo, but his supporting cast has been a "no show" so far in the Finals and I expect that to continue here. Chris Paul, Devin Booker and De'Andre Ayton are impossible to slow down right now, but the difference is that their bench and role players are producing. Keep your eyes on Mikal Bridges, who had 27 points in Game 2 for the Suns. Phoenix is 6-1 ATS in its last seven on the road and while the outright win is possible in my opinion, let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
07-10-21 | White Sox -1.5 v. Orioles | Top | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox (10* RUNLINE BEST OF THE BEST). The White Sox have won three games in a row, winning by a combined 22-3 in that span. That included a 12-1 win here in yesterday's series opener. I don't expect such a massive lop-sided destruction here, but I do definitely expect Chicago to win handily, and that's why my official recommendation is to play the ChiSox on the runline option. Lucas Giolito (6-6, 4.20 ERA) will be determined to finish off the first half strong after a loss to the Tigers on SUnday, allowing six runs over five innings. The ten hits allowed were a season-high. I'm not reading too much into one poor start and I definitely think he has a major advantage here over confirmed gas can Tome Eshelman (0-1, 7.16), who gave up four runs over four innings in a no-decision to the Angels in his last outing. Over four starts he owns a poor 5:5 K/BB spanning 16.1 innings and I think he's definitely in well over his head here in this matchup. The value is to lay the 1.5 runs for the much better price; the play is Chicago on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Chicago. | |||||||
07-07-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens +1.5 (10* MONEY-MAKER). If you're wagering on this contest, then I'd have to think that you know the strengths and weaknesses of each of these teams. You know the cast of characters on each side, both on the ice and behind the bench. You also know the story lines on how they've gotten to this point. The Canadiens have a small amount of momentum and they've already proven that they'll never give up. I think, at they very least, that they'll take this one right down to the wire again and make the Lighthing really earn this one. In a contest which I see being decided late or in extra time, I'm playing the desperate visiting side on the puckline! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Montreal. | |||||||
07-07-21 | Blue Jays -1.5 v. Orioles | 10-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blues Jays -1.5 (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). I love the Jays to bounce-back here after two straight losses. That includes Baltimore's 7-5 win here in the series opener yesterday. That broke a string of three straight losses for the home side. Suffice it to say, an immediate return to mediocrity is imminent here in my opinion. Matt Harvey (3-9, 7.34 ERA) has been just terrible for the Orioles as well this year, while Hyun Jin Ryu (7-5, 3.65) now has a big opportunity to close out the first half strong. I expect Toronto to not only win today, but to win by a significant margin! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. | |||||||
07-06-21 | White Sox v. Twins +1.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -151 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Twins (+1.5) 10* MONEY-MAKER After five straight losses, the Twins have won two in a row. That includes yesterday's opener by a score of 8-5. Minnesota can't afford to take the foot off the gas and I like it to at the very least, keep this one super competitive throughout. I'll call Carlos Rodon and Jose Berrios a "wash" here for arguments sakes. Note though that the Twins are 7-2 in their last nine off a home win in which they scored seven or more runs in. After their terrible start to the season, I expect Minnesota to keep the foot on the gas until the All Star Break; that said, lay the reasonable price for the extra run-and-a-half in our back pocket! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Minnesota. | |||||||
07-06-21 | Phillies v. Cubs +1.5 | 15-10 | Loss | -127 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cubs +1.5 (8* MONEY-MAKER). Enough is enough for the Cubs, who come in having lost ten straight. I think the outright win is possible here, but in the end at this price, the run line option for the home side is definitely attractive. Obviously Jake Arrieta has been terrible for Chicago, but Aaron Nola can't be trusted on the road either. He was just rocked for seven runs over 4.2 innings in a fortunate no-decision to the lowly Fish as well. This is not the same Nola of days past. Look for the "hungrier" team to at the very least, keep this one ultra competitive; the play is Chicago on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Chicago. | |||||||
07-02-21 | Italy v. Belgium +0.5 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -165 | 5 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Belgium (10* MONEY-MAKER). The Belgians are currently ranked No. 1 in the World. I like their chances here to at the very least, send this one to extra time and because of that, I'm laying the price for the extra +0.5 goal. Belgium was short-handed against Portugal, and still managed to top the reining champs. The Red Devils have scored in every one of their last 34 games, while winning 23 of their last 27 in regulation. Italy managed to get by Austria in the last round, but it appears to be running out of steam. This is a huge step up in competition for the Azzuri over their last opponent and I expect them to struggle. Everything points to another tight-game here. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Belgium. | |||||||
06-30-21 | Suns +0.5 v. Clippers | Top | 130-103 | Win | 100 | 15 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* WEST-CONF FINALS GOY). Somehow the Clippers hung on for a Game 5 victory, but I believe that Chris Paul and Devin Booker will finally end this series here in LA. Note that Phoenix is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 in trying to revenge a ten-points or greater home loss to an opponent. I've been impressed with how tough these Clippers have played, but I believe that fatigue will be a major factor for them here after their big road win in Phoenix. Give me Paul to finally break the curse; the play is the Suns! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-29-21 | Bucks v. Hawks +7 | Top | 88-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Hawks (10* TRADE-MARK). The Hawks have been consistently inconsistent throughout the playoffs. Yes, Trae Young is either out or he'll be less than 100%, but I still simply believe this is too many points for the Bucks to be giving up on the road. Note that Milwaukee is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine after a SU/ATS victory of ten or more points as well. Give me John Collins, the points and the hungry home side; the play is Atlanta! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-28-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -161 | 34 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canadiens +1.5 (10* GAME OF WEEK). Montreal has performed really well in this spot for bettors. And I'm talking about if you took the Habs on the moneyline. After going down 1-3 to Toronto, this Montreal Canadiens team has been on an absolute mission. The Habs are getting World class goaltending and I think they have everything it takes to upset the defending champs. That said, I'l feel more comfortable with the extra 1.5 goals in my back pocket; lay the price for the Habs on the puck-line! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Montreal. | |||||||
06-26-21 | Cubs v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers RUN LINE (10* GAME OF YEAR). The Dodgers are streaking towards the mid-Summer classic and I like them to keep the foot on the gas here vs. the Cubs, who they beat here 6-2 yesterday. Alec Mills is 3-1, but he owns a pedestrian 5.18 ERA. He's coming off a decent home start, but note that he's 0-1 with an 8.33 ERA on the road. Jose Urias (9-3, 3.99) is coming off a crumm outing against the Padres, but it was his first poor start all year. I think he bounces back in fine fashion here. Look for Mills' struggles on the road to continue in Chavez Ravine and expect Urias to bounce-back in friendly confines! T.M. Prediction: 8-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
06-25-21 | Hawks +8 v. Bucks | Top | 91-125 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks (10* TRADE-MARK). What's going on here? Why are the Hawks getting so many points again? They just beat the Bucks outright in Game 1 and from everything that I can see, they have the better and more complete team on the court. I'm not saying that Atlanta is goingo to win and upset outright again, but what I am definitely saying is that there's no way the Bucks should be favored by this much. Note that the Hawks are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after scoring 115 or more points in a SU/ATS road victory; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-24-21 | Suns -1 v. Clippers | Top | 92-106 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* TRADE-MARK). I don't think we need to overthink this one. Kawhi Leonard remains out and so do the Clippers chances in my opinion. Chris Paul is returning to the Suns lineup to provide a massive boost of energy and confidence and I believe it'll be more than enough to help lead his team to a third straight victory in this series. LA threw everything it had at the Suns in Game 2 and it still came up short. I can't see Devin Booker having back-to-back poor games either. The Clippers have exceeded expectations to this point, as they've had to play from three straight 0-2 holes so far in the playoffs, but this time I think it's just too much. I look for Phoenix to take a strangle-hold on this series! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-22-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Golden Knights | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canadiens +1.5 PUCK LINE (SLAP-SHOT 10*). Montreal was on the brink of taking a 3-1 lead in this series, but it came up short, allowing a tying goal late and then falling in OT. The Golden Knights managed a "lucky" win and with it, don't have any advantage here, but simply tied up the series a 2-2. This one is going to be another tight affair and because of that, I'm laying the very reasonable price for the extra 1.5 goals in our back pocket; the play is Canadiens on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Canadiens. | |||||||
06-20-21 | Hawks +7 v. 76ers | Top | 103-96 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks (10* TRADE-MARK). Philadelphia is just 4-9-1 ATS in its last 14 vs. teams with winning records. Atlanta is 9-4 ATS in its last 12 overall and a fantastic 14-6 (70%) ATS when playing on just one days rest. The six other games in this series have been decided by 7.8 points per game. Vegas has done a good job with this line, but the 76ers have collapsed so many times in the second half during this series that I just can't trust them covering this big spread down the stretch. I'm grabbing the points, the play is Atlanta! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-16-21 | Clippers v. Jazz -7 | 119-111 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jazz (8* MONEY-MAKER). No need to overthink this one. I got down early and have a favorable line, but whether you have the original line or the current one, I absolutely like Utah here. Yes, the Clippers seemingly have the momentum back, but bad news for LA fans this morning when learning of a major inury to start Kawhi Leonard. That's game, set and match for Utah here. Without Leonard in the lineup, I give the Clippers zero chance in this game. It's going to be a blowout too; so lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-16-21 | Yankees v. Blue Jays +1.5 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays +1.5 (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Obviously, Gerritt Cole (7-3, 2.31 ERA) is the superior starting pitcher in this matchup. I think Toronto has the better in form hitting lineup though which has the advantage of hitting at "home" here today. I also think Toronto has the better bullpen right now. Ross Stripling (2-3, 4.91) has a 4.13 ERA at home. This one is going to come down to the final innings and in a situation like that, I'll lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs in our back pocket! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. | |||||||
06-15-21 | Islanders v. Lightning -1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 145 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning -1.5 (10* MONEY-MAKER). I think we're getting great value on the puck line here. A great win by the Islanders in Game 1, but it's hard to beat Tampa two times in a row, let alone in their own building. I think the Islanders are very satisfied with with earning the split. Tampa is also a near-perfect 7-1 in its last eight in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it was held to one or less goals in. Tampa wins in a massive blowout in Game 2; play on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Lightning. | |||||||
06-14-21 | Jazz +5 v. Clippers | Top | 104-118 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah Jazz (10* TRADE-MARK). Honestly, I think the Jazz have a golden opportunity to win this game outright. But in what should be a much more competitive affair than what we saw in the Clippers 132-106 Game 3 victory, I'm going to grab the points. Utah is a near-perfect 7-1 ATS in its last eight in trying to revenge a 15 points or greater road loss to an opponent as well. The story lines and cast of characters, the strengths and weaknesses of each side are well known, so I'm not going to break down individual player accomplishments or stat lines, as this for me is a great "situational" play, combined with that unreal ATS stat listed above. Grab the points, expect (at least!) a comfortable cover! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-13-21 | Islanders +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Islanders (+1.5) EAST-CONF SEMI-FINAL GAME OF MONTH. Both teams have been playing great. I didn't expect Tampa to get by Carolina to get this point so easily. However, I also didn't expect the Islanders to roll through the Bruins like they did either. Honestly, it would not be very difficult at all to write a convincing argument for either of these red hot teams to take Game 1. But situationally, I do think it sets up as a very competitive affair. There's been some time off between series, which throws a monkey wrench into chemistry. I believe each will have a "feeling out" period to start this one and in a contest which I see being decided late, or even in extra time, I'm laying the very reasonable price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance; the play is the Isles on the puck line. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Islanders. | |||||||
06-12-21 | Jazz v. Clippers -4.5 | Top | 106-132 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clippers (10* TRADE-MARK). No need to overthink this one in my opinion. Yes, the Jazz have sure looked good over the first two games of this series. In fact, after losing their first game to the Grizzlies, a contest in which star player Donovan Mitchell sat out, they haven't lost a game, winning six in a row. Their second straight win in this series could have come at a cost though, as Mitchell was limping off the court at the end. His health is a major concern here. The Jazz just aren't the same team without Mitchell attacking at 100% capacity. This is the window of opportunity that Kawhi Leonard needs. Combined with the fact that the Clippers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine in trying to revenge back-to-back losses to an opponent, then everything points to a blowout here finally for LA in Game 3; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-11-21 | 76ers v. Hawks +1.5 | Top | 127-111 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Hawks (10* ELILTE OF THE ELITE). The Hawks have been an "against the spread" covering machine since Nate McMillan took over as head coach. Atlanta took out the Knicks in five games and it held on for a win in Game 1 vs. the 76ers, before then finally having a letdown in Game 2. I'm not reading anything at all into that setback though, as the Hawks got done what they needed to to open up this series, and that was to at the very least, earn a tough "split" on the road. Now returning back home, note that the Hawks are 4-0 ATS in their last four against teams with winning road records. The 76ers? They're just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Give me the Hawks at home in this revenge spot and crucial Game 3! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-09-21 | Yankees -1.5 v. Twins | Top | 9-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankees RUN-LINE (-1.5) 10* MONEY-MAKER. Is there any reason to overthink this one? This is a "must win" game for the Yanks here and Gerritt Cole in a sense, as there's no way he'll want to throw away this golden opportunity for a victory, throwing opposite confirmed "gas can" Randy Dobnak (1-5, 6.19 ERA). Over his last 11.2 innings of work, Dobnak has conceded nine earned runs. Cole is 6-3 with a 2.26 ERA and 0.87 WHIP. This is a contest that I believe will be lop-sided in nature, therefore I'm laying the 1.5 runs for the pick-em ranged price! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Yanks. | |||||||
06-08-21 | Hawks v. 76ers -5.5 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: 76ers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Hawks have been playing unbelievably well, but I think a predictable letdown is finally in order tonight. Atlanta has exceeded expectations to this point. Clearly. The Hawks are now in unchartered territory though and I think that a letdow is for sure invevitable with the knowlege that they'll be returning to friendly confines for two games. The 76ers looked rusty in Game 1, but I don't think there's any reason to push the panic button. Adjustments are the name of the game in the playoffs and the 76ers have the depth and experience to do just that. Also note that they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it allowed 125 or more points in. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-07-21 | Islanders v. Bruins -1.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bruins PUCK LINE (-1.5) 8* MONEY-MAKER. This has been a back-and-forth series. We're all tied up at two games apiece. Each team has won in the other team's building as well. So why do I think Boston will not only win here, but also win by a sizeable margin to lay the 1.5 goals for the big "plus-money" return? I don't trust this Islanders offense on the road. Boston is also 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to one or less goals in. I'm banking on "home ice" being a major factor in the Bruins' big win tonight; lay the 1.5 goals on the Bruins! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Boston. | |||||||
06-03-21 | Suns v. Lakers -2 | Top | 113-100 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lakers (10* TRADE-MARK). Simply put, I expect the Lakers to lay the hammer down here in this "must win" game. This is LA's biggest game of the entire year and whether Anthony Davis plays or not, I think that King James will get plenty of support tonight from his cast of backups. Both Andre Drummond and Dennis Schroder had terrible games and I don't expect that to happen again. Phoenix has been consistent, but not dominant. I don't think they can put away the champs on their own floor. I'm laying the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-03-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -5 | 126-115 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (8* MONEY-MAKER). This has been a back-and-forth series. Very even. The Blazers though are one loss away from being eliminated, and one win away from a Game 7. With their season on the line, I like the Trail Blazers to get the job done here. Damian Lillard exploded for 55 points and ten assists and it still wasn't enough. Denver's going to be "gassed" on the road here though in my opinion. With the knowledget that they still have one more game to win this series at home, I think the Nuggets get caugth flat-footed here after their epic double OT win in Game 5; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-03-21 | Tigers v. White Sox -1.5 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 104 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox (10* RUN-LINE BEST OF THE BEST). After back-to-back losses, I like the White Sox to bounce back here in this favorable matchup. The Tigers have looked decent of late, but Case Mize is in over his head here facing White Sox' ace Lance Lynn. Lynn is 6-1 with a 1.37 ERA and he's been dominant at home. Chicago is also 28-18 in its last 36 when playign with a day off, while Detroit is just 39-98 in its last 137 vs. clubs with winning records; lay the 1.5 runs, expect a massive beatdown! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Chicago. | |||||||
06-03-21 | Hurricanes +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hurricanes (10* PUCK-LINE ELITE OF THE ELITE). I'm laying the price here for the extra 1.5 goals. I think this game will be the most competitive of them all. Tampa is "lucky" I think to have won both opening games. Carolina though is resilient and I expect it to throw its best shot at the defending champs. These team's numbers are almost identical on both ends of the ice, but Carolina is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge back-to-back losses to an opponent. Lay the price, the play is the Canes on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Carolina. | |||||||
06-02-21 | Grizzlies +9.5 v. Jazz | Top | 110-126 | Loss | -104 | 13 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). The Grizzlies road back-to-back "play in" victories to a 112-109 win in Game 1 of this series, but then Donovan Mitchell returned to the Jazz lineup and it's been all Utah since. The Jazz have won three straight, but note that the Grizzlies are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after three or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row. Memphis was better on the road for bettors this year, going 23-17 ATS away from friendly confines. Facing elimination, this young Grizzlies team may not battle back and win this game outright, but I do expect a competitive war until the final moments; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-01-21 | Blazers v. Nuggets -1.5 | Top | 140-147 | Win | 100 | 12 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* TRADE-MARK). I'm travelling today gentlemen, so I'm going to have to keep my analysis much more "succinct" than I usually do. This has been a back and forth series. Each team has won on the others court, but I expect Denver to rally here at home. Denver is a near-perfect 7-1 ATS in its last eight in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to under 100 points in. Look for Nikola Jokic to have another big game here at home and lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-30-21 | Knicks +5 v. Hawks | Top | 96-113 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Knicks (10* TRADE-MARK). This has been a tight, back-and-forth series to begin with and I expect that trend to continue here. The Hawks have played better than most would have expected, but a predictable letdown is imminent in my opinion after their 105-94 Game 3 victory. The Knicks has somehow been slowed down by this poor Hawks' defense, and I definitely don't expect that weird trend to continue. New York is also 7-2 ATS in its last nine in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to 95 points or less in; the play is New York! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-29-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -4.5 | Top | 95-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Portland took Game 1, but Denver has taken the last two games. The Blazers now look to respond, and I believe they'll pull away down the stretch for the comfortable win and cover. Portland has the superior offensive numbers, while Denver has the better defensive numbers. I believe CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard will take over this game for the home side, and stretch this Denver defense, which has granted played well without Jamal Murray in the lineup; lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-28-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 8-5 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers -1.5 (10* RUN-LINE BANKROLL BUILDER). Anthony DeSclafani (4-2, 3.54 ERA), was rocked hard by the Dodgers last Sunday, allowing ten runs off nine hits with three walks over 2.2 innings in a loss. I think he'll do better this time around, but only a little. Walker Buehler (3-0, 2.78) is the correct call here in my opinion, as he has a tiny 0.78 WHIP so far this year and he gave up one run over seven innings in a victory over San Francisco last Saturday. Lay the 1.5 runs, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 7-1 LA. | |||||||
05-26-21 | Panthers +1.5 v. Lightning | 0-4 | Loss | -180 | 11 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Panthers (+1.5) 6* TRADE-MARK. Florida earned a Game 5 victory and it'll be risking life and limb again here to try and push this one to a decisive Game 7. These teams have almost identical numbers on both ends of the ice. This really is almost an "any given Sunday" type of matchup, where either team can easily win against the other on any given night. But Florida is 7-2 in its last nine after a three goals or greater victory over its previous opponent. I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals in our back pocket! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Florida. | |||||||
05-26-21 | Wizards +8.5 v. 76ers | Top | 95-120 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wizards (10* TRADE-MARK). Philadelphia won 125-118 in Game 1, but it was unable to cover the large spread. I think that's going to be the case again here. I'm not calling for an outright victory, but I do absolutely expect the Wizards to throw their "best shot" at the 76ers here so as to avoid the dreaded 0-2 hole. Note as well that the Wiz are 7-2 ATS in their last nine in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent in which they allowed 125 or more points in. No outright as I stated above, but definitely closer than what this spread would suggest; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-25-21 | Predators +1.5 v. Hurricanes | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Predators PUCK LINE (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Carolina won the first two games of this series, but after back-to-back OT home victories, the Predators now have all the momentum as we head back to Carolina for this one. These teams are evenly matched, and I think this series is going to go a full seven games. So far home ice advantage has proved important, but this one has "overtime" written all over it again. Nashville is getting great offense now and that trend continues here on the road. Outright victory is possible of course, but let's lay it and grab the spread! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Nashville. | |||||||
05-25-21 | Celtics +9.5 v. Nets | 108-130 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Celtics (8* MONEY-MAKER). Boston looked decent for three quarters in Game 1, but then it fell apart down the stretch. The Celtics have a great player in Jayson Tatum, and they'll once again be leaning heavily on both him and Kemba Walker tonight. The Nets managed to hold on for the victory and cover, but let's not expect a duplicate performance on that end of the court. The Celtics had a terrible shooting game, and still almost managed to cover. The Nets are loaded with talent, but which is yet unproven as working together as a unit, especially in difficult moments in the playoffs. Outright victory? Probably not. But look for the Celtics to give their absolute best shot here as they try desperately to pull off the upset and avoid the 0-2 hole; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-24-21 | Heat +4.5 v. Bucks | 98-132 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Heat (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Heat won't be happy losing 109-107 in Game 1, as they had a golden opportunity to pull off the minor upset in that one. The Bucks were playing with revenge after getting bounced from the ECF's last year by the Heat, but Miami is just so great in making adjustments, and that's exactly what I expect to see here from Eric Spolestra. Yes, the Heat lost, but there were A LOT of positives that Miami can take away from that "nail-biter." I say that the Bucks have much more to worry about here, as their inconsistent play leads to another ATS setback (at the least!) in Game 2 as well; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-23-21 | Grizzlies +9 v. Jazz | Top | 112-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* TRADE-MARK). Outright win? Very possible! The Grizzlies come in on top form, as they won both their "play in" contests, after losing to Golden State in their regular-season finale. Memphis is a deep team, which I think will help it here in Game 1. Utah earned the No. 1 seed after going 52-20 in the regular season. The big question though is, will rest lead to rust? Note that the Grizzlies are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 as an underdog, while the Jazz are just 3-7 ATS in their last ten at home and only 1-5 ATS in their last six playoff games as a favorite. While I do think the outright upset is possible, in the end let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-22-21 | Blazers +1 v. Nuggets | 123-109 | Win | 101 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Nuggets are a deep team. Star guard Jamal Murray went down with a season-ending injury at the half-way point, and Nikola Jokic "upped" his game and earned Denver the fourth spot in the difficult Western Conference. The Blazers won 10 of 12 games down the stretch and the backcourt tandem of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum will prove to be too much for the Nuggets to overcome here. A big factor working in favor of the Blazers as well is the return of big man Nurcic, who plays well against Jokic. Look for Lillard to be the difference-maker in Game 1! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-22-21 | Twins v. Indians -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 129 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indians -1.5 (8* RUN LINE MONEY MAKER). Off yesterday's 10-0 loss, I love the home side to not only bounce back and win today, but to win BIG time. The home side goes with ace Shane Bieber (4-3, 3.17 ERA), who gave up three runs over five innings with seven K's in a loss to the Mariners. Bieber is second in the league with a K/9 of 13.88. The visitors counter with the volatile Kenta Maeda (2-2, 5.26) whos last start was skipped over due to a groin issue. Maeda has been unimpressive with a 1.57 WHP and 7.9 K/9. Look for Bieber and the revenge-minded home side to lay the hammer down here! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Indians. | |||||||
05-21-21 | Astros v. Rangers +1.5 | Top | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rangers (+1.5) 10* MONEY-MAKER. In a game which I see being decided late or in extra frames, I'm going to lay the reasonable price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. Tyler Ivey (0-0, 0.00 ERA) makes his big league debut here for the Asros. Over 6.1 innings in two minor league starts, he's conceded five earned runs. He'll go against Rangers' ace Kyle Gibson (3-0, 2.32), who comes in off another strong outing, allowing two runs off four hits with three K's in an unfortunate no-decision vs. these very Astros last Wednesday. Over 54.1 innings of work, he has a sharp 44/17 K/BB. As stated off the top, I think the outright is possible, but I'll lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Texas. | |||||||
05-20-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 34 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canadiens PUCK LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). Montreal got out to a great start this year, then it got hit by COVID. It was a constant struggle after that, but the Canadiens did enough to earn a spot in the playoffs and they actually enter healthier right now than they've been in a while. The Canadiens have strong goaltending and defense. The Leafs won the North conference regular season title, and they're one of the best on both ends of the ice. Montreal though is 7-2 in its last nine when playing with two or more days of rest. Edmonton got surprised last night, and everything points to the Leafs coming out flat here as well. Great value on the Canadiens puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Montreal. | |||||||
05-19-21 | Spurs v. Grizzlies -3.5 | Top | 96-100 | Win | 100 | 35 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* TRADE-MARK). San Antonio allowed 110.7 PPG through the regular season, but it completely fell apart over the final few weeks. Over the last four games of the regular season the Spurs allowed 128, 102, 140 and 123 points. Overall the Spurs average 111.1 PPG. The Grizzlies allowed 110.9 PPG this year, but over theri final five games, all victories, they conceded 113, 106, 110, 104, 110 and 99. The Grizz averaged 113.3 PPG, and they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games when playing with two or more days of rest; lay the short points, expect a major blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-17-21 | Yankees -1.5 v. Rangers | 2-5 | Loss | -160 | 13 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Yankees (-1.5) 8* Sometimes I completely dissect a play, looking at every tiny angle, motivational factor, ATS stats and other information, but other times a simpler "eye-test" strategy is the better method, and that's the case here in my opinion. After a sub-par season during the shortened Covid campaign last year, Gerrit Cole (5-1, 1.37 ERA) is on a mission for the Yanks. His counterpart is a confirmed "gas can" in Jordan Lyles, who is 1-3 with a 6.63 ERA so far. Lyles is only in the rotation out of necessity as well. The Yanks have turned the corner at the plate and I expect them to take advantage; lay the 1.5 runs on the Yanks! T.M. Prediction: 6-1 New York. | |||||||
05-16-21 | Mavs -7 v. Wolves | Top | 121-136 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK). I don't expect the Mavericks to take the foot off the gas here. Dallas has won two in a row and six of seven. Dallas is now a season-high 13 games over the .500 mark. The T-Wolves are going through the motions at this point, as they won't even reach the 25 win plateau. They're coming off back-to-back losses, most recently a 124-108 setback to the Celtics. “It doesn't look like they're locked in to finish the season the way we wanted to," Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said. Despite already being locked into their seed, I look for Dallas' role players to deliver in this spot; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-13-21 | Nuggets -4.5 v. Wolves | Top | 114-103 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* TRADE-MARK). Yes, Minnesota has been playing a lot better of late. That tends to happen to teams which have played poorly all season, and then catch other teams tired or disinerested at the end of the season. Minnesota just hammered the Pistons 119-100 on the road, but the Nuggets aren't going to roll over here, as they're still in a tight race in the West standing with just a couple of games to go. Denver is playing well right now as well, as it's won 11 of its last 14. I say Minnesota is the one due for a letdown here after its rare big road win, while I look for the Nuggets to improve upon their impressive 21-4-1 ATS record here in their last 26 visits to Minnesota; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-11-21 | Mavs -2 v. Grizzlies | Top | 104-133 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK). The Mavericks have won 10 of 12. They've won four in a row, most recently a 124-97 road victory over the Cavaliers. Memphis has won three of four, but Luka Doncic is for sure a matchup issue for the home side. This is a big game/stretch for Dallas, as it sits just one game ahead of Portland in fourth spot in the West, a coveted position heading into the post-season. I look for the red hot Mavs to continue their torrid end of season run; lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-09-21 | Wolves v. Magic +7 | 128-96 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Magic (8* MONEY-MAKER). Orlando and Minnesota have nothing to lose here, except another game. Each will be looking forward to the offseason and planning for next year. The Magic won the first matchup between the clubs by a score of 97-96 on January 20th. Minnesota needed a win in Miami to stay in contention in its last outing, but it got crushed 121-112. Neither team has anything to play for here, but Orlando has been out of contention for a while. Look for the Magic to keep this one competitive down the stretch from the freshly eliminated T-Wolves; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-08-21 | Nets v. Nuggets +4 | Top | 125-119 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* TRADE-MARK). Off a 127-120 loss in Utah last night, the red hot Nuggets got caught looking ahead to this game vs. the Nets. We're getting great value on the now focussed home side, who I believe will be ready and that fatigue won't be an issue at all. Brooklyn has been playing terribly of late, as it's lost FOUR in a row. With two whole nights off after this before a game at Chicago, this also sets up as a letdown spot for the visiting side. This is Denver's final home game of the season, as it concludes with four straight on the road. I say the Nuggets come to play tonight and find a way to deliver; that said, grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-06-21 | Canucks +1.5 v. Oilers | Top | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 26 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks PUCK LINE (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). I like the Canucks to at the very least, take this one to extra time and because of that, I'm going to suggest to lay the very reasonable price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. The Canucks are desperate to break a six-game slide. They've lost two straight here, but note that the Canucks are 7-2 in their last nine in trying to revenge a three goals or greater road loss vs. an opponent. I think Edmonton gets caught flat-footed here! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
05-06-21 | Rangers v. Bruins -1.5 | 0-4 | Win | 128 | 24 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bruins PUCK-LINE (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Boston's four-game win streak came to an end last time out in a 4-3 OT loss at New Jersey, but I think it'll lay the hammer down here vs. the now floundering Rangers and with just a handful of games to go. Boston also plays with revenge here after falling 4-0 to New York on March 13th (note that the Bruins are 7-1 in their last eight in trying to revenge a road loss vs. an opponent in which they were shut-out in. The Rangers have lost three straight, including a 4-2 setback at home to Washington just last night. Fatigue is a major factor for the Blue Shirts for sure. I'm banking on a decisive, lop-sided home-side victory here! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Boston. | |||||||
05-05-21 | Kings v. Pacers -5.5 | Top | 104-93 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pacers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Pacers are in need of a win here. After smashing OKC 152-95, it then lost 154-141 in the nation's capital two nights later. The Pacers play with revenge here as well after falling 127-122 in Sacramento in January. And with a game in ATL tomorrow night, tonight's game takes on added importance for the home side. And after three straight victories, the overachieving Kings are primed for a classic "letdown" on the road here; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-04-21 | Warriors +1.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 103-108 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). Golden State is currently in eighth spot, only 3.5 games out of sixth. The Pels are 2.5 games behind the No. 10 play in spot in the Western Conference. The Warriors just beat the Pels 123-108 on Monday, fueled by 41 points from Stephen Curry. Frankly, I see a repeat performance tonight. Over their last ten games the Warriors are averaging 114.2 PPG. The Pels are now just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games, while the Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last six in an underdog role. Expect Golden State to lay the hammer down again tonight! T.M. Prediction: POSTED SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-02-21 | Suns v. Thunder +13.5 | Top | 123-120 | Win | 100 | 26 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: OKC (10* TRADE-MARK). The Thunder got throttled by the Pacers 152-95 last night. OKC threw in the white flag early in that one, so fatigue isn't going to be an issue. But after that embarrassing effort, I believe we'll see a much better effort from the home side tonight. Clearly, the Suns are the better team in this matchup. In fact, if going by their win/loss record, they're the best team in the NBA. However, I think the visiting side is going to classically get caught looking past its lowly opponent here. The SUns are off a highly satisfying 121-100 win over the Jazz. Phoenix has hit a "vanilla" part of its final schedule here, with this game at Oakland, followed by games at Cleveland and Atlanta. This one sets up as a letdown spot for the visitors, who could very well rest several starters; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-02-21 | Knicks v. Rockets +8 | 122-97 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rockets (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). I don't think that Houston will win this one outright, but I do definitely think this is far too many points for the Knicks to be giving up on the road here, despite how well they've played this season. The Rockets forgot to come out to play in the second half of last night's game with the Warriors, as they lost 113-87, after having a half-time lead. Houston though is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after a SU/ATS home loss in which it was held to 90 points or less. I'm not buying into the fatigure factor here. WIth a game at red hot Memphis up next tomorrow night, this is also a look-ahead spot for the visiting side. No outright, but closer than expected; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-01-21 | Nuggets +4.5 v. Clippers | 110-104 | Win | 100 | 14 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (8* MONEY-MAKER). Both teams have been playing well of late, but the Clippers enter having lost two straight and with the uncertainty going into this one surrounding star player Kawhi Leonard, I like the deeper visiting side to at the very least, take this one right down to the wire. The Nuggets most recently destroyed the Raptors at home and I can't see the home side keeping pace. LA most recently lost to the Suns on the road. Denver got the better of the Clippers in these team's most recent matchup and I expect another battle until the end here as well; that means, we grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-01-21 | Aston Villa v. Everton -0.5 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Everton (10* EPL GOW). Everton beat Arsenal last time out and I expect it to keep the foot on the gas here as well. The Toffees are in eighth spot, while Villa is in 11th. Everton though is now firmly in the race for the Top 4 after last weeks win. And with a huge game vs. West Ham on the 9th, it puts added incentive to deliver in this favorable matchup. Everton has won 10 of its 16 road matches. Villa is coming off a 2-2 draw with West Brom. Here's a chance for the Toffees to reverse their fortunes here at home though. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Everton. | |||||||
04-30-21 | Kings v. Lakers -9.5 | Top | 110-106 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 12 m | Show |
TT.M. Selection: Lakers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Lakers have lost five straight ATS. Four of those have come on the road, as LA finally returns home. AD has had a couple games under his belt now and The King is about to return as well. With a chance to bounce back after a 116-107 loss at Washington, I expect the Lakers to bring their "A" game tonight. Sacramento is injured and it's simply playing out the rest of its season. The Kings most recently got destroyed 154-105 at home to the Jazz. Look for the Lakers to take advantage and to keep the foot on the gas from stat to finish; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-30-21 | Giants v. Padres -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 29 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Padres -1.5 (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Both teams have been great in the early going, but I like the Padres to step up here in this favorable matchup and find a way to get the job done. Logan Webb is 1-1 with a 4.03 ERA for the Giants. He's had one poor start and one unreal start, most recently going seven scoreless in a victory. Regression is imminent in my opinion for the rookie in this difficult road venue and facing the big bats of the Friars. Yu Darvish though is 2-1 with a 2.27 ERA this year for his new club, including a 37/8 K/W thus far. I expect San Diego to not only win this one, but to win in blowout fashion; the play is the Padres on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Padres. | |||||||
04-28-21 | Spurs v. Heat -5 | Top | 111-116 | Push | 0 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat (10* TRADE-MARK). No need to overthink this one. Both teams are fighting for a playoff spot, but after two straight losses, including a listless 110-102 setback to the Bulls at home in their last outing, this one means a whole lot more to the home side Heat. The Spurs have been playing great, as they've won five of their last six, but after a huge 146-143 OT win in the Nation's capital to break the Wizards eight-game win streak, this sets up as a natural letdown spot for the visiting side for sure. Look for the home side to step up and deliver; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-27-21 | Lightning -1.5 v. Blackhawks | Top | 7-4 | Win | 135 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning puck line (10* MONEY-MAKER). This is the final matchup between these two teams, and Tampa has a 6-1 lead in the season series thus far. The Lightning have allowed just 125 goals all season, which ranks eighth. Chicago's offense is hit or miss, and I just can't see it keeping pace here with this now focussed Lightning team, which looks to build momentum with the Playoffs just around the corner. Chicago is also just 14-34 in its last 38 vs. a team with a winning percentage over .600, while Tampa is 55-17 in its last 72 when playing on one days rest. Lay the 1.5 goals for the great plus-money return! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Tampa. | |||||||
04-27-21 | Bucks -9 v. Hornets | Top | 114-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I expect the Bucks to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish in this one, and to then easily hold on to their big lead late. Overall Milwaukee is averaging 119.3 PPG, while conceding 112.9. The Hornets have lost six of nine. They score 109.9 PPG, while allowing 111.1. The Bucks have shot 49 percent from the floor over their last four games and after going 0-4 ATS the last four in this series, I don't expect them to take anything for granted here; I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-25-21 | Grizzlies v. Blazers -4 | Top | 120-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Memphis enters off a tight 130-128 win here two nights ago. So how does that old saying go again, revenge is a dish best served cold? I think the revenge angel works for sure here. These teams' offensive and defensive numbers are similar, but this sets up fantastically from a situational for Portland, as it's a near-perfect 7-1 ATS in its last eight in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent in which it conceded 125 or more points in. Lay the short points, but expect a decisive bounce-back revenge victory for the home side here! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-25-21 | Mariners +1.5 v. Red Sox | 3-5 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mariners (RUN LINE) 8*. Seattle has taken two of the first three in this series, including yesterday's 8-2 victory. At this price, getting them on the RUN-LINE here is fantastic value, as I believe they have a legtimate shot at winning this one outright. Nick Margevicius hasn't been anything to write home about, but regression is imminent for Eduardo Rodriguez for Boston in my opinion. I'm backing the red hot Mariners to keep it rolling for at least one more game! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mariners. | |||||||
04-24-21 | Spurs v. Pelicans -2 | 110-108 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pelicans (8*). The Spurs have won three of their last four, including a 106-91 victory over lowly Detroit last time out. New Orleans has split its last eight games. It had lost four in a row though (all tighty and competitive), before finally breaking through with a 135-100 road win over Orlando. The Spurs have been better at home than on the road though, and note that they're also only 1-7 ATS in their last eight following a win by ten or more points. This one has letdown written all over it for San Antonio finally; lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-24-21 | Avalanche v. Blues +1.5 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: BLUES PUCK LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). After three straight losses, including a 4-2 setback here to these very Avs two nights ago, I think St. Louis is worth the price to grab the extra 1.5 goals. St. Louis is actually 7-2 in its last nine home games after three straight losses in a row. It's also 8-3 in its last 11 in trying to avenge a two goals or greater home loss vs. an opponent. After five straight wins, I expect Colorado to come out flat here; the play is the Blues on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 St. Louis. | |||||||
04-24-21 | Raptors +3.5 v. Knicks | 103-120 | Loss | -104 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Raptors (8* TRADE-MARK). Both teams come in red hot. I think Toronto comes in under the radar though, and I believe that New York's now lengthy win streak is completely unsustainable. When you add it all up, we're getting great value on this hungry underdog side. Toronto has won four in a row, while New York has won eight in a row. The Raptors still have a shot at the playoffs, sitting in 12th, but within striking distance of tenth. All good things must come to an end. After ten straight covers, look for New York to stumble here. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-22-21 | Pelicans -7.5 v. Magic | Top | 135-100 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pelicans (10* TRADE-MARK). The Pelicans have lost four in a row, but it hasn't been from a lack of trying. They've just come up across some stiff competition. New Orleans has had big leads in each of its last two games, only to then falter late and let them slip away. Fortunately now they face the putrid Magic, who failed to score 100 points in a loss to Hawks on Tuesday. I expect New Orleans to go up early again here, but this time I look for it to keep the foot on the gas and I simply can't see this offensively challenged Magic side keeping pace down the stretch; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-21-21 | Warriors -2 v. Wizards | Top | 114-118 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* TRADE-MARK). Golden State is still pushing for a playoff spot at 29-29 and I expect it to make the most of this favorable matchup. The Warriors come in with pelnty of momentum as well after an 11-point win over the 76ers. Washington comes in off a highly satisfying road win at Oklahoma City. Golden State though has won five of its last six and Stephen Curry has scored 30 or more points in ten straight games. Washington has two really good players, but it's depth is a huge question mark after that. The Wizards have won five in a row, but regression is imminent here vs. this hot-shooting Warriors side; lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-20-21 | Magic +12.5 v. Hawks | Top | 96-112 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Magic (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the Magic to sneak in under the radar here after losing eight of their last nine games. Orlando is obviously a poor team that's going through a rebuilding year, but I think the Hawks are going to get caught "looking past" their opponent today to their much more high-profile contest in New York vs. the red hot Knicks tomorrow night. These teams played on March 3rd, and the Hawks won 115-112 as 3-point favorites. Expect another tight game here and grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-19-21 | Warriors +9.5 v. 76ers | Top | 107-96 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* TRADE-MARK). Golden State played with a lead almost the entire game at the Celtics two nights ago, but the Warriors couldn't hold on late, and eventually lost both straight up and against the spread. Previosu to that they'd won four in a row. They play with revenge here as well though after falling 108-98 to the 76ers at home on March 23rd. Philly's off a satisfying 106-103 win over the Clippers, and with Phoenix coming to town next, followed by two straight in Milwaukee, this absolutely sets up as a trap/look-ahead spot for the home side as well. Expect this one to come right down to the wire! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-18-21 | Golden Knights -1.5 v. Ducks | Top | 5-2 | Win | 108 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vegas -1.5 (10* PUCK-LINE DESTROYER). Vegas is streaking towards the finish line, and Anaheim has throw in the white towel. The Knights have won five in a row, including a 4-0 win here two nights ago. No need to think anything will change here. This is a huge mismatch on paper, and on the ice and I simply don't see Vegas taking the foot off the gas or losing its focus (especially with a game tomorrow night in San Jose.) Lay the 1.5 goals, expect a lop-sided destruction! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Vegas. | |||||||
04-18-21 | Nets v. Heat +5 | 107-109 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Heat (8* MONEY-MAKER). I think the Heat have a legitimate shot at winning this one outright. The Nets hae won ten of their last 14. Brooklyn averaes 119 PPG, while conceding 114.3. THe Heat though are desperate here as they've lost four of their last six. On the season they're averaging 106.3 PPG, while allowing 107.7 (those numbers are skewed after a very poor/slow start.) The Nets have won three straight, but they come to Miami banged up. The Heat play with revenge heree after losing 98-85 to the Nets back on January 25th, and note that they're 7-1 ATS in their last eight in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent in which they were held to 90 or less points in; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-16-21 | Blazers -1.5 v. Spurs | Top | 107-106 | Loss | -118 | 11 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Portland's coming off a tight 116-115 home loss to Boston. After back-to-back losses, I like the Blazers to come out firing here and to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable cover. Note that Portland is 7-2 ATS in it slast nine after back-to-back SU/ATS losses. The Blazers play with the added incentive of revenge here as well after falling 125-104 to the Spurs back on January 18th. San Antonio is off a 117-112 loss at Toronto and with a tough game at Phoenix tomorrow night, everything points to a letdown here in my opinion. I'm layin the short points, but expecting a decisive victory! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-16-21 | Pelicans -2 v. Wizards | 115-117 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pelicans (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). New Orleans comes in off a 116-106 loss to the Knicks, but I think it'll bounce back here in this favorable spot. When it faced Washington on January 27th, it easily won 124-106. Zion Wiliamson is a matchup issue for the Wizards. Washington's off a 123-111 road win at Sacramento, but it's just 2-6 ATS in its last eight off a SU/ATS road victory in which it scored 120 or more points in. And with Detroit coming to town tomorrow night, this also sets up as a look-ahead for the home side. I'm laying the points, but expecting a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-15-21 | Celtics -6 v. Lakers | Top | 121-113 | Win | 100 | 13 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Celtics (10* TRADE-MARK). This is always a big rivalry game. The Celtics have won six of their last eight and four in a row and I think they'll keep that momentum rolling here. Most recently the beat the Blazers 116-115 on Tuesday, led by 32 points from Jayson Tatum. LA has won six of ten, but without its bonafide superstars in the line-up, I think it'll struggle here to contain this determined Boston side looking to end its road trip with a big nationally televised victory. The Lakers are just 1-4 ATS in their last five at home, so lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-15-21 | Padres -1.5 v. Pirates | Top | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Diego (10* RUN-LINE MONEY-MAKER). The Padres have lost two in a row after losing by four here yesterday. Chris Paddack takes the hill for the visiting side and he's 0-1 with a 5.63 ERA so far this season. Paddack though still has an advantage over Mitch Keller here in my opinion (1-1, 4.50). It's still too early to draw any conclusions on either pitcher, but note that Pittsburgh is just 2-7 in its last nine after back-to-back victories. I like Paddack to finally get on track here and for the hungrier side to finally deliver; lay the 1.5 runs, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Padres. | |||||||
04-14-21 | Rockies v. Dodgers -1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers -1.5 (8*). No upsets here. In fact, I look for the defending champs to build off their 7-0 win last night with an other decisive victory here. Dustin May gets the call for the home side and he's throwing with eight days rest. In his first start of the year he pitched six shutout innings with eight walks in a win over the A's. Jon Gray goes for Colorado and he went eight shutout innings in a win over the D-Backs in his last start. Colorado though is just 22-49 in its last 71 rad games. Look for LA to improve to 41-12 in its last 53 vs. RHP. Lay the 1.5 runs! T.M. Prediction: 8-1 LA. | |||||||
04-13-21 | Heat v. Suns -3 | Top | 86-106 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* TRADE-MARK). After winning six of their last seven, I believe the Heat are going to come up short here in this difficult road venue. Miami enters off a highly-satisfying 107-98 road win at Portland and everything points to a letdown here in my opinion with a tough game to look ahead to in Denver tomorrow night. Note that Phoenix has been trading against the spread wins/losses over its last ten games. Off a 126-120 outright win over the Rockets, unable to cover the large spread, expect this incredibly strong pattern to continue here. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
