08-25-21 | Dodgers v. Padres UNDER 8 | 5-3 | Push | 0 | 21 h 10 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres game on Wednesday. The Dodgers have been in some lower scoring games lately as 4 of their last 5 have stayed under 8 total runs, with just 1 game seeing 9 runs in that span. Walker Buehler (13-2, 2.11 ERA) has been amazing allowing very little runs in his starts this season. Of his last 4 starts, 3 of them stayed under this posted total. He has not allowed 3+ runs against him in 8 straight games and has only given up more than 3 runs on 2 occasions this season. The Padres have also seen some lower scoring games lately with 3 of their last 4 staying under 8 runs. Blake Snell (6-5, 4.82 ERA) has given up 6 runs in his last 4 games and has not given up more than 3 in that span. Both of these pitchers have found a good streak lately and I expect that to continue here as both teams are looking to secure a playoff spot. This one will stay under with the quality of pitchers on the mound. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
08-24-21 | Mariners v. A's UNDER 8.5 | 5-1 | Win | 105 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics game on Tuesday. After 4 straight games of having 9+ runs in them, the Mariners finally had less than 9 in the series opener on Monday. Chris Flexen (10-5, 3.65 ERA) is starting and his last start went way over the number. He has been pitching well himself though, averaging less than 2 runs allowed per game in his last 4 starts. The A's have had their last 2 games in a row stay under 9 runs total. Cole Irvin (9-11, 3.57 ERA) and his last 3 starts have gone over this posted total. He has also been good though, averaging about 2 earned runs per game in his last 4 starts. Both of these starting pitchers have pitched well despite the high scoring games. I expect this one to stay under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Athletics. | |||||||
08-23-21 | Jaguars v. Saints OVER 38 | 21-23 | Win | 100 | 125 h 37 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Jacksonville Jaguars vs New Orleans Saints game on Monday. The Jags lost their 1st preseason game to the Cleveland Browns 23-13. They had 4 quarterbacks play in that one and all of them did quite well all throwing for about 50+ yards and completed more than 50% of their passes. two of them scored a touchdown and only 1 threw an interception. The run game was pretty non-existant in that one but the receiver showed up. three of their receivers had over 50 yards and 3 of them averaged 10+ yards per catch. A lot of different players caught a pass for the Jags in that one and most of them were for longer plays than short. The Saints also lost their 1st preseason game to the Baltimore Ravens 17-14. They played 3 quarterbacks in that game and they all played well. Ian Book completed 9/16 passes for 126 yards and 1 interception, Taysom Hill completed 8/12 for 81 yards and 1 interception, and Jameis Winston completed 7/12 for 96 yards 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Tony Jones Jr. had a great running game rushing for 82 yards and 1 touchdown on 7 carries. They also had 2 receivers with 60+ yards and 3 different receivers that averaged 20+ yards per catch. Both of these teams have shown already that they have the pieces and can move the ball efficiently down the field. There should be some more points for both of these teams than what they scored in their 1st preseason game. I expect this game to go over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 28-24 Saints. | |||||||
08-22-21 | White Sox v. Rays UNDER 9 | 0-9 | Push | 0 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Chicago White Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays game on Sunday. The White Sox have had 9+ runs scored total in their last 3 straight. I think that ends here in this one. Reynaldo Lopez (2-0, 1.08 ERA) is starting for the White Sox. He has had a great season allowing just 3 earned runs in 11 appearances this year. In his last start he shutout the A's through 5 innings. The Rays have had 9+ runs scored total in 15 games in a row now. That is bound to come to an end here against a solid starter for the White Sox. Chris Archer (0-1, 6.23 ERA) will be starting for the Rays here. He has only played in 2 games this season allowing 3 earned runs total. In his last start he did not allow a run at all through 2 innings played. The Rays have been on a crazy over streak that is bound to end soon. The White Sox have a very good pitcher on the mound. This should be a low scoring game that stays under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Rays. | |||||||
08-21-21 | Jets v. Packers UNDER 34 | 23-14 | Loss | -107 | 73 h 3 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the New York Jets vs Green Bay Packers game on Saturday. The Jets won their 1st preseason game over the New York Giants 12-7. Their 3 quarters backs played well in that one as all of them completed over 50% of their passes, 1 of them even throwing for 127 yards. The ball was spread out quite a bit too as 3 running backs had 20+ yards rushing, and 3 receivers had 20+ yards receiving. Despite all this ball movement, they still had nothing to show for it scoring just the 1 touchdown in the game, mustering up just a total of 12 points. The Packers lost their 1st preseason game to the Houston Texans 26-7. Both of the quarterbacks for the Packers played well, each completing more than 50% of their passes and throwing for 80+ yards. A few receivers also had a good game averaging over 10 yards per catch. Again though, execution was the issue in this one as the Packers only managed a measly 7 points in that loss. Both of these teams have shown they are able to move the ball in this preseason, but have failed where it matters most in executing for the score. I expect those troubles to continue in this one here keeping this game under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 13-10 Jets. | |||||||
08-21-21 | Tigers v. Blue Jays OVER 9.5 | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
I like the over in the Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers game on Saturday. The Tigers have seen some high scoring games lately. Just 2 of their last 8 have had less than 10 runs in them. Wily Peralta (3-2, 3.70 ERA) is starting for the Tigers here. There have been 10+ runs in 3 of the last 4 games he has started in. He has allowed 17 runs in his last 5 games. He averages over 3 runs allowed per game in that span. The Blue Jays last game stayed under the total. The previous 4 all had 10+ runs in them though. Hyun Jin Ryu (11-6, 3.72 ERA) will be starting for the Jays here. The last 5 games he has started in have all see 9+ runs in them. He has been struggling lately, allowing 11 earned runs total in his last 2 starts. Both of these teams have been involved in some high scoring games lately and I expect that to continue here. I like this game to go over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Blue Jays. | |||||||
08-21-21 | Bills v. Bears OVER 38 | 41-15 | Win | 100 | 70 h 40 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Buffalo Bills vs Chicago Bears game on Saturday. The Bills won their 1st preseason game 16-15 against the Detroit Lions. They had 2 quarterbacks give a solid performance in that one. Davis Webb completed 11/16 passes for 90 yards and 1 touchdown while Jake Fromm completed 8/13 passes for 65 yards. The running game did not do much in that one, but passing game had a lot of action. Only 1 receiver hit 50 yards, but 12 different players caught a pass in that game, 4 of them averaging 10+ yards per catch. The Bears also won their 1st preseason game over the Miami Dolphins by a score of 20-13. Justin Fields had a great performance in that game, he completed 14/20 passes for 142 yards and 1 touchdown. They also had a good running game with 4 different players rushing for 30+ yards, 2 of those players averaging 10+ yards per carry. The receivers played well too, 4 of them averaging 10+ yards per catch i n that one. Both of these teams showed a real good passing game in their 1st preseason games. The more the ball flies through the air, the more opportunity for bigger plays and more scoring as these young guys look to have that breakout game to land a spot on the team. This game should have a lot of scoring in it so I am on the over in this one. T.M. Prediction: 27-20 Bears. | |||||||
08-19-21 | Edmonton Elks v. BC OVER 45.5 | 21-16 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 36 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Edmonton Elks vs BC Lions game on Thursday. The Elks have had a bad 0-2 start to the season and will be hungry to get their 1st win of the season. They have only been able to score a total of 25 points between their first 2 games. Things are bound to turn around here though. The Elks have the best receiver in the CFL over the past 5 years, Greg Ellingson. He has yet to heat up this season but that will not likely be the case for long. Now with 2 games under his belt, he should be able to get going in this one causing the points to flood in for the Elks. The BC Lions are returning to BC Place for their 1st game there in over 2 years. They will definitely be filled with energy for this game finally getting to play in front of their fans again after so long. They are coming off a game where they shut down the defending champion Stampeders and they have already shown that they can score points with their 33-29 loss to the Roughriders. There will be lots of emotion in this game and I expect there to be plenty of points scored by both teams. I like this game to go over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Lions. | |||||||
08-18-21 | Seattle Sounders FC v. FC Dallas OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -114 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
I am on the over in the FC Dallas vs Seattle Sounders game. Dallas has been averaging about 2 goals scored per game in their last 5. They are a much better team when they play at home as they have averaged over 2 goals scored per game all season at home. The Sounders are built with quality players and have been a dynasty in the MLS over the past years, currently sitting pretty in 3rd place of the entire league. They have certainly picked up their game lately, scoring 9 goals total across their last 2 games. They are coming off a game where they scored 6 goals themselves and allowed 2 against, and that was on the road. They will be on the road here where they have average about 2 goals scored per game all season. This game will shoot over the total as both of these teams can score goals. Dallas scores a lot more at home, where they will be in this one, and Seattle is just too good a team to roll over and get shut out on the road. I think this is a great game to go over the total. T.M. Prediction: Dallas 2-2 Sounders. | |||||||
08-18-21 | Padres v. Rockies OVER 14 | 5-7 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the San Diego padres vs Colorado Rockies game on Wednesday. The Padres have been involved in some high scoring games lately, their last 3 games having 10+ runs scored in them. Jake Arrieta (5-11, 6.88 ERA) will be making his Padres debut today, but he has not performed well in his last few games as a Cub. He was credited with 7 losses in a row and the Cubs have lost their last 7 when he started on the mound. He allowed 8 earned runs in his last game and has only had 2 games in his last 8 where he allowed less than 3 earned runs. The Rockies will be starting Chi Chi Gonzalez (3-6, 6.06 ERA) on the mound in this one and he has not had a good year either. The team has only won 2 games of the last 6 he has started in. In his last 4 starts, there were 12+ runs total in each of those games. He has allowed 14 earned runs total in his last 3 starts and has been blown up for more than 6+ runs in a game on multiple occasions this season. Both of these pitchers have struggled this season and, along with the Coors Field effect, I expect there to be plenty of runs in this game to get it over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 10-7 Padres. | |||||||
08-17-21 | Minnesota United v. San Jose UNDER 3 | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 23 h 57 m | Show | |
I am on the under 3 goals in the San Jose Earthquakes vs Minnesota United game on Tuesday night. The Earthquakes have had their last 7 straight games stay under 3 goals, with 1 of those games having exactly 3. In their last 7 games at home, they have been averaging less than 1 goal a game. Minnesota United have only seen 2 games in their last 7 go over 3 goals. Minnesota only average about 1 goal a game in their last 6 games on the road. The scoring has really dried up a bit for both of these teams in their last few games so I expect this one to stay under 3 goals. T.M. Prediction: Earthquakes 1-1 Minnesota utd. | |||||||
08-17-21 | Brewers v. Cardinals UNDER 7.5 | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Milwaukee Brewers vs St. Louis Cardinals game on Tuesday. The Brewers went 3 games straight scoring 10+ runs themselves, but their bats have cooled down a bit as their last 2 games stayed under 7.5 runs total. Corbin Burnes (7-4, 2.23 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Brewers and he has pitched very well in his last few games. The team has won their last 5 straight when he has started for them. He has only allowed more than 1 earned run in a game just once in his last 8 starts. The Cardinals have gone over 7.5 runs in their last 2 games, but now they run into a pitcher who has been hot. Adam Wainwright (11-6, 3.27 ERA) has also been pitching well this season. The team has won their last 5 games when he has started. There was only 1 occasion in his last 5 starts where he allowed more than 2 earned runs. Both of these pitchers have been pitching very well in their last few games so I expect this one to go under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Brewers. | |||||||
08-15-21 | Panthers v. Colts UNDER 34.5 | 18-21 | Loss | -114 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Carolina Panthers vs Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The Carolina Panthers will not be playing much of their starters, so it will be backup competition all day for them on the field. I do not think they will be able to score many points in this game with all of these backups playing a lot. The Indianapolis will also not be playing too many starters, but even with their starters they have always been a lower scoring grindy team. The Colts have a great defense with lots of depth that will shut down this Panthers offense. They have also been known for running the ball heavily, which eats up a lot of clock in games. I think this game is set up perfectly for us to see a low number of points scored in it. I am on the under in this one. T.M. Prediction: 17-10 Colts. | |||||||
08-13-21 | Reds v. Phillies UNDER 8.5 | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 19 h 24 m | Show | |
I like the under in the Cincinnati Reds vs Philadelphia Phillies game on Friday evening. The Reds have been involved in quite a few high scoring games lately, 8 in their last 10 going over 9 runs total. Tyler Mahle (9-3, 3.78 ERA) is starting for the Reds and the team has gone over 9 runs total in 4 of his last 5 starts. the last game he started went under where he only allowed 2 earned runs. The Phillies have seen much lower scoring games in their last 6, 5 of those featuring less than 9 runs total. The Phillies will be starting Zack Wheeler (10-6, 2.42 ERA) on the mound and he pitched a 9 inning shutout in his last outing. The last 4 games he started in all had 9 runs total or less in each and Wheeler should have a lot of confidence coiming into this game. The runs are bound to die down for these Reds and, against an already lower scoring Phillies team, I like both of these pitchers to keep this score low. I like this game to stay under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Phillies. | |||||||
08-12-21 | Washington Football Team v. Patriots OVER 36 | 13-22 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 11 m | Show | |
The Washington Football Team is taking on the New England Patriots in Week 1 of the NFL preseason and I am on the over in this one. The HOF game was a bit of a snore but i think this game is set up much better to see a lot more scoring in. This game will be a chance for Taylor Heinicke to showcase his talent and prove that he deserves a chance at being an NFL starter. Whether or not he can, there is definitely motivation there for him to want to put a lot of points up in this game. Washington has picked up a lot of pieces this offseason and this is the first real opportunity to see how it will all mesh. Ron Rivera has already expressed that he expects his players to work hard at everythiing this year, this game included. I expect the Football Team to go out there and try to get the win which means they will be trying to score lots of points as the young players will want to use this chance to try to make a name for themselves. New England will be having their rookie Mac Jones play in this one and he too will want to prove in this game why he can overtake Cam Newton as the starter for the Patriots. He has been looking great at training camp and has a real good chance to win this job which means he will also be out there playing to win. With both of these teams treating this more like a real game and less like a meaningless preseason game, the over makes total sense. I think there should be plenty of scoring from both sides here so I am on the over. T.M Prediction: 27-20 Football Team. | |||||||
08-11-21 | Rockies v. Astros OVER 8.5 | 1-5 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Colorado Rockies vs Houston Astros game. The Rockies have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately with only 1 in their last 5 featuring less than 11 runs. Antonio Senzatela (2-8, 4.73 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Rockies and he has not been that solid this season. His last 7 starts he has averaged a little over 3 earned runs per game and in his last 5 starts the games have gone over the posted total in 4 of them. The Houston Astros have been hitting their bats well in their last few games, scoring 4+ runs themselves in each of their last 4. Framber Valdez (7-3, 3.22 ERA) is starting for the Astros and lately he has been having a few starts where he has allowed some runs and lot of hits. He has allowed 4+ earned runs in half of his last 6 starts. In 13 starts this season, there has only been 2 occasions where he allows less than 4 hits, averaging well over 5 per game for this season. If he pitches like this on Wednesday he will give the Rockies plenty of opportunity to score some runs. The Astros have been hitting the ball very well lately too, so I think this game sees plenty of runs in it from both teams. I like this one to go over the total. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Astros. | |||||||
08-10-21 | Rangers v. Mariners OVER 7.5 | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 18 h 54 m | Show | |
I like the over in the Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners game on Tuesday night. The Rangers are on a 2 game losing skid, both of those games featuring 9+ runs total in each. Kolby Allard (2-10, 5.07 ERA) will be starting for the Rangers in this game. Allard has been having an awful year, credited with a loss in his last 8 straight, the team losing their last 9 when he has started. He has allowed 24 earned runs in his last 5 starts for the Rangers. After a 4 game slump, the Mariners have gotten back on track with a 2-0 win against the Yankees on Sunday. The Mariners have had just 1 game that has featured more than 8 runs total in it in their last 6, but i think that run ends here. Logan Gilbert (5-3, 4.14 ERA) will be starting for the Mariners and he has been involved in quite a few high scoring games this season. The team has only lost 1 game in his last 12 starts, only 4 of those featured less than 8 runs total. Considering the way the Rangers and Allard have been playing lately, they should be in for a beating here as this game flies way over the total. T.M. Prediction: 9-3 Mariners. | |||||||
08-08-21 | Mets v. Phillies UNDER 8.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 15 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies game. There has been no more than 8 runs scored total in the last 4 games that the Mets have played in. They will be starting Taijuan Walker (7-6, 3.86 ERA) on the mound in this one. After a great start to the season for Walker, he has hit a bit of a rough patch allowing 4+ runs in each of his last 4 starts. I think he bounces back in this game getting back to that good form that he has played most of the season. The Phillies will be starting Zack Wheeler (9-6, 2.57 ERA) on the mound and he has also been having a pretty good year this season. In his 22 appearances this season, over 66% of the games he has played in had less than 9 runs in them. The first 2 games of this series had less than 9 runs in them and I expect that to be the same on Sunday afternoon. I like this game to stay under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Phillies. | |||||||
08-05-21 | Cowboys v. Steelers UNDER 33 | 3-16 | Win | 100 | 20 h 17 m | Show | |
NFL is back and the preseason kicks off Thursday with the Hall of Fame game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys. I am on the under in this game as it will be a game between 3rd and 4th stringers to test their abilities in an actual NFL game. Both teams have left many starters off the table for this game so it is hard to imagine either side moving the ball upfield with ease. The few veterans that will be active for this game are mainly runningbacks so there should be a lot of running plays which will eat up the clock as well keeping this one low scoring. The Steelers will also be testing their 2 backup quarterbacks, Mason Rudolf and Dwayne Haskins, to see who will earn that 2nd spot. Haskins loves to run the ball himself as well as throw and if both sides plan on keeping the game run heavy or even struggle to move the ball, this game will for sure stay under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 17-10 Steelers. | |||||||
08-03-21 | Orioles v. Yankees OVER 10 | 1-13 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
I like the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees to go over the total Tuesday. The Baltimore Orioles haver had tons of runs scored in their recent games with their last 13 having at least 7+ runs in each. Alexander Wells (1-1, 5.28 ERA) has not been treated well in his 1st MLB season as teams have been just eating him up. In just 4 starts with the team this season, the Orioles have not seen a game with less than 8 runs in it when Wells is on the mound. The Yankees have not scored a ton of runs in their last few games but will be eager to hit their bats here after a 7-1 blowout by Baltimore in the last game. Nestor Cortes (0-0, 1.93 ERA) is starting for the Yankees and despite having a 0-0 record this season, he has made an appearance in 11 games this year, most of those games saw 7+ runs in each by either side. With these 2 pitchers there should be plenty of runs here so I expect this game to go over the total. T.M. Prediction: 8-5 Yankees. | |||||||
08-02-21 | Indians v. Blue Jays OVER 9 | 5-2 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
I like the Cleveland Indians and the Toronto Blue Jays to go over the total in this one. The Indians are coming off of a 2-1 loss Sunday but had enough runs in each of their previous 3 to go over the posted total. Eli Morgan (1-3, 7.47 ERA) has had a tough first year in the MLB so far and he is about to go up against a Blue Jays side that have the bats to drive this score up. Every single game that Morgan has pitched in this season has seen 8+ runs except for 1. Robbie Ray (9-5, 3.04 ERA) will be on the mound for the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays have been hot winning their last 4 games scoring at least 4 runs in each. The Blue Jays finally get to be back in Toronto for their home games and I expect them to put up a show for their fans here. This one goes over 9.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Blue Jays. | |||||||
07-31-21 | Uriah Hall v. Sean Strickland UNDER 3.5 | Top | 0-1 | Push | 0 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Strickland/Hall UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH). I absolutely don't see this one going to decision. Strickland is a big favorite and Hall is going to have to take some risks if he wants to avoid this one going to the cards, where he'd surely lose to the more technical fighter. Each fighter has the power to deliver a KO as well. Look for this fight to fall well under the posted number. T.M. Prediction: Quick KO/SUB etc. | |||||||
07-31-21 | Royals v. Blue Jays OVER 9.5 | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jays OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Royals have been playing really good baseball of late. Despite yesterday's 6-4 series opening loss, they've still won eight of their last nine. The opener went under, and the Royals have actually seen the total dip below the posted number in six straight. The Jays have returned to Toronto and I think that we're in for an even higher-scoring game on Saturday. I don't trust either starter. Mike Minor (8-8, 5.32 ERA) for the Royals has been consistently inconsistent all season. Alek Manoah (2-1, 2.90) hasn't pitched since early July due to injury for the Jays. I expect the starters to get the hook early and that'll ultimatley result in this one flying over the number sooner, rather than later; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 8-7 Toronto. | |||||||
07-30-21 | Orioles v. Tigers OVER 9.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -101 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Orioles/Tigers OVER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). While these teams played to a lower-scoring under in the Tigers' 6-2 series opening victory, all signs point to more of an explosive affair on Friday! Baltimore sees Matt Harvey (5-10, 6.65 ERA) toe the slab. Harvey is coming off a rare good outing, holding the Nationals scoreless over six innings. Starts like that have been few and far between for Harvey and I expect an immediate return to mediocrity (he's just 3-4 with a 6.62 ERA on the road.) Tarik Skubal (6-9, 4.42) gets the nod for the home side and he most recently gave up five runs over five innings in a loss to the lowly Royals in his last outing. He's just 2-7 with a 4.98 ERA in all night games this year; look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Detroit. | |||||||
07-28-21 | Dodgers v. Giants UNDER 7.5 | Top | 8-0 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers/Giants UNDER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF ELITE). No need to over think this one. The Dodgers won here 2-1 last night and I expect a similar final combined score here as well. These are two of the most dominant starting pitchers in the league right now, and they're facing off tonight in this contest. The Dodgers go with Walker Buehler (10-1, 2.31 ERA) and the Giants see Anthony DeSclafani (10-4, 2.87) toe the slab; this one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Giants. | |||||||
07-24-21 | TJ Dillashaw v. Cory Sandhagen UNDER 3.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -160 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sandhagen/Dillashaw UNDER 3.5 rounds (-166 Pinnacle). Dillishaw has something to prove here after a lengthy suspension for EPO use. He last competed in 2019 when he lost in 32 seonds to Henry Cejudo by knockout. Sandhagen has won 7 of his 8 fights in the UFC, his only loss coming by quick submission against current bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. This is a make or break fight for each fighter. A lacklustre performance won't help either. I expect fireworks. I also expect that to lead to a very quick fight. T.M. Prediction: Early KO. | |||||||
07-23-21 | White Sox v. Brewers UNDER 7.5 | 1-7 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: White Sox/Brewers UNDER (8* MONEY-MAKER). A couple of stud pitchers here going head to here and I expect that to translate into a lower-scoring under. The ChiSox see Lucas Giolito (8-6, 3.90 ERA) toe the rubber; he is off a strong outing over Houston on Saturday, allowing one run and three hits over nine innings while also striking out eight (he's 4-1 with a 2.84 ERA in all night contests.) The Brewers hand the ball to Freddy Peralta (7-3, 2.39), who has a tiny 0.90 WHIP and 135/44 K/BB over 98 innings of work. Look for these two starters to steal the headlines in tomorrow's summaries of this contest; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 ChiSox. | |||||||
07-20-21 | Indians v. Astros UNDER 9 | 3-9 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Astros/Indians UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Cleveland went 2-1 at Oakland to open the second half, but it fell flat in yesterday's series opening 4-3 loss here at Oakland. The Tribe have seen the total go under in three straight and I expect that trend to continue here. Houston has seen the total go under in two straith, bouncing back from a 4-0 defeat to the White Sox in its previous outing. Triston McKenzie (1-3, 5.47 ERA) gets the nod for the visitors, and he comes in off a strong start in his final outing before the break, allowing one hit and striking out nine over seven scoreless against the Royals. He'll be opposed by Luis Garcia (6-5, 3.06), who gave up one run over five innings in a no-decision to the A's in his last start. Look for these two young starting hurlers to be the main focal point of tomorrow's summaries on this contest; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Astros. | |||||||
07-19-21 | Rangers v. Tigers OVER 8.5 | 0-14 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rangers/Tigers OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Tigers are looking to build off their three-game sweep of the Twins. While two of those three went under the number, I think the opener of this one will soar well over. The Rangers are a desperate for a win here after losing 10-2 and 10-0 in Toronto over the weekend. Kirk Gibson (6-1, 2.29 ERA) has been a bright spot for Texas this year, but regression does seem imminent for the veteran. I expect that to occur here. Casey Mize (5-5, 3.59) has struggled with consistency this year. He's been decent, but I think he'll have his hands full with this determined Rangers' offense; this number is low the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Detroit. | |||||||
07-14-21 | Suns v. Bucks UNDER 220.5 | Top | 103-109 | Win | 100 | 37 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Bucks UNDER FIRST HALF (10* FINALS FIRST HALF TOTAL OF YEAR). Instead of playing the full game under, I'm targetting the first half. Game's 1 and 2 both flew over the number, but Game 3 finally went under. The first half total went over the number though in Game 2, but in my opinion, Game 4 definitely sets up as more of a defensive affair. Phoenix had its way in Game 1 against a tired and injured Bucks team, but the reason the Suns are in the Finals this season is because of their improved defensive play. Milwaukee will be once again out to control the tempo of this one and in my opinion, this contest from a situational stand point, absolutely sets up as a defensive affair. Look for that to pay IMMEDIATE dividends though. This first half total is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
07-11-21 | Suns v. Bucks UNDER 222 | 100-120 | Win | 100 | 35 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Bucks UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). No need to overthink this one. The first two games of this series went over the number, but with their backs against the wall, the Bucks are going to have to play with an added sense of urgency on the defensive end. There's just no way that Milwaukee can let the Suns dictate the flow of this one. The home side is going to have defensive pressure from start to finish, both half and full court. This is the highest total so far in this series, but now just a little too high; everything points to a defensive under in Game 3! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
07-09-21 | Angels v. Mariners OVER 8.5 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Angels/Mariners OVER (8* MONEY-MAKER). These are two teams itching for a couple more victories before the All Star break. There have been record setting temperatures in the Seattle area and I think that's going to help in pushing this total well over before it's all said and done. These two starter have been questionable of late sa well. Alex Cobb (6-3, 4.60 ERA) and Marco Gonzalez (1-5, 5.82) are poised for early exits in my estimation. This one has "over" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 LA. | |||||||
07-08-21 | Nationals v. Padres OVER 7 | 8-9 | Win | 100 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nats/Padres OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Despite each team's "ace" on the mound tonight, I expect this total to fly over the number in the latter innings. Max Scherzer (7-4, 2.10 ERA) of the Nationals and Yu Darvish (7-3, 2.65) will be careful not to have any lapses here in their final start before the All Star game. It's impossible to say too many negative things about either, but these teams have been mashing the ball of late and I think that trend continues here. The Padres have seen the total go over in four straight. The Nationals are off their big 15-5 win here yesterday and in my opinion, these offenses are going to continues to roll; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 San Diego. | |||||||
07-08-21 | Bucks v. Suns UNDER 220.5 | Top | 108-118 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Bucks UNDER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). The Bucks lost badly in Game 1, but I expect them to be much more competitive in Game 2. Giannis Antetokounmpo was game time decision in the last game, so it was difficult for the Bucks to come in with a proper game plan. Giannis was good and I expect him to be even better here. I expect Milwaukee as a whole to play a lot better on the defensive end as well. The Bucks' series with the Nets was incredibly defensive and I expect that same intensity here as they look to avoid the 0-2 hole. The Suns are where they are right now because of their improved defensive play. I say that Game 2 has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
07-06-21 | Bucks v. Suns UNDER 219 | Top | 105-118 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Suns UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the line-up, the last thing the Bucks can afford to do is to turn this into a "track meet" with Chris Paul and Devin Booker. Milwaukee will have to get up in their face throughout and try to grind out a win here in Game 1 without its superstar playing tonight. Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday and Bobby Portis have had to defend some stiff opponents during this playoff run (the Nets in particular come to mind), and so I don't see the Suns actually being the best offense they've faced so far. The Bucks have been efficient on both ends of the court during the playoffs. The Suns have been though as well. One big advantage that Phoenix will have in Game 1 is the size difference in the middle, so look for Paul to try and get big man D'Andre Ayton involved throughout. I think the extra time off as well will help in driving this total under the posted number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
07-03-21 | Padres v. Phillies UNDER 8.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Padres/Philles UNDER (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Phillies had a 3-0 lead heading into the top of the ninth yesterday, before then allowing three runs to the Padres, which pushed the contest in extra frames. Philly ended up winning 4-3 in the bottom of the tenth and the number stayed well below the posted number. I think that'll again be the case here, as everything points to a bit of a "duel" again in my opinion. Yu Darvish (7-2, 2.44 ERA) gets the nod for the visiting side, he most recently gave up one run and struck out seven over six innings in a win over Arizona on Sunday. Darvish now owns a 0.94 WHIP with a 10.8 K/9 over 96 innings. Zach Eflin (2-6, 4.20), is coming off a strong start against the Mets, allowing one run and striking out four over six innings. He owns a very respectable 87:11 K/BB and I think he can match Darvish inning for inning. Look for these two starters to battle deep and for this total stay well under the posted number! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Philadelphia. | |||||||
07-02-21 | Dodgers v. Nationals UNDER 8 | Top | 10-5 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nationals/Dodgers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). These teams played to a lower-scoring under in the Dodgers 6-2 win last night and I'm expecting an even lower-scoring contest here. LA send Julio Urias to the hill. Urias (9-3, 3.95 ERA), gave up two runs and struck out 12 over 5.1 innings to the Cubs on Saturday (he's been great on the road as well with a 6-2, 3.64 ERA record.) The home side counters with ace Max Scherzer (7-4, 2.14), who gave up one run over six innings in a win over the Mariners. He's earned wins in three of his last four appearances, postinga 1.42 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in that span. Enough said! All signs point to this becoming a classic "duel." The play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 LA. | |||||||
07-01-21 | Cardinals v. Rockies OVER 11.5 | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rockies/Cards OVER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). The Rockies beat the Pirates here 6-2 yesterday, but I think that today's game againstthe Cardinals will be much more high-scoring. Adam Wainwright (6-5, 3.59 ERA) has been sharp over the last month and he's coming off a win over the Pirates himself. I'd say that Wainwright has exceeded expectations to this point, but if he's had one glaring weakness, it's been his play on the road where he's just 2-2 with a ballooned 6.43 ERA. The Rockies counter with Antonio Senzatela (2-7, 4.76), who gave up four runs over seven innings in a win over the Breweres in his last outing. He's been better at home than on the road, but Colorado has still seen the total go over the number in eight of its last 11 after holding its previous opponent to two runs or less in a home victory in its last outing. Expect these two starters to get chased early and look for this one to fly over the number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 St. Louis. | |||||||
07-01-21 | Hawks v. Bucks UNDER 216 | Top | 112-123 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Bucks UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). No need to overthink this one. The last three games have all fallen under the number in this series. We're all tied up heading back to Milwaukee, but with both team's respective superstars sidlined with injury. Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.2 points and 12.7 boards for the Bucks in the playoffs, but he injured his knee in the last time. Trae Young is averaging 29.8 points and 9.5 assists for the Hawks, and his status is still questionable for this one. With these two stars sidelined, expect this to be a scrappy, and ultimately a lower-scoring under once again! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-30-21 | Canadiens v. Lightning UNDER 5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 104 | 15 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Habs/Lightning UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Game 1 went over the number. That was a bit surprising, as these teams came in as two of the top defensive clubs in the league. Montreal goaltender Carey Price is allowing an average of just 2.04 GPG, while Lightning netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 18 out of 19 shots faced in Game 1. I think Montreal will be a lot better and more competitive here though, as note that the Habs have seen the total go under the number in eight of their last 11 in trying to revenge a three goals or greater loss to an opponent; all signs point to a much more defensive affair, therefore the prudent call is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Tampa. | |||||||
06-28-21 | Switzerland v. France OVER 2.25 | Top | 3-3 | Win | 100 | 29 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: France OVER 1.5 goals. Switzerland doesn't look like a team that can pull off a major upset. France hasn't even really played to its full potential yet and it has to be feeling confident here as it hasn't lost any of its seven meetings with Switzerland. Switzerland lost its group stage match against powerhouse Italy by a score of 3-0 and everything points to it having its hands full here as well. I expect at least three balls to find the back of the goal here collectively; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 3 goals. | |||||||
06-26-21 | Suns v. Clippers UNDER 218.5 | Top | 84-80 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Clippers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Game 3 fell well UNDER the number. I think that LA doubles down on the defensive end again here today as well. Phoenix has advanced to this point because of its tough defensive play and I expect a much better effort from the visiting side as well on that end. Note that Phoenix has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to 95 points or less in. Everything points to another defensive affair here; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-25-21 | Diamondbacks v. Padres OVER 8.5 | Top | 5-11 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: D-Backs/Padres OVER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). The bottom line here is, I don't trust either of these starting pitchers. Corbin Martin (0-2, 8.62 ERA), has a 2.04 WHIP over four career apperances for the D-Backs. Padres' starter Chris Paddack (4-5, 4.10 ERA) gave up two runs over five innings in a win over the Reds in his last outing. Over his last four starts Paddack is 2-2 with a poor 5.06 ERA. Expect these starters to get "the hook" early and as a result, look for this total to fly over the posted number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Padres. | |||||||
06-25-21 | Islanders v. Lightning OVER 5 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -121 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Isles/Lightning OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Eight goals were scored on this ice the last time these teams played. Yes, all eight were scored by the Lightning, but when the smoke does finally clear from this one, I expect a similar final combined score here as well. Game 7. I expect a very wide open affair here from the Lightning as they try and get an early lead. If that happens, the Isles are going to be forced to open things up. Also note that New York has seen the total go over the number in eight of its 11 in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it scored two or less goals in; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Tampa. | |||||||
06-24-21 | A's v. Rangers OVER 8 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: A's/Rangers OVER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF ELITE). While yesterday's game stayed below the posted number in the Rangers 5-3 upset win, I think the stage is now set for more of an offensive contest on Thursday afternoon. The Rangers go with Kolby Allard, who gave up two runs over six innings in a no-decision against the Twins on Saturday. Allard has been a bright spot for the Rangers this season, I just think he's in the wrong place at the wrong time here. The A's go with Chris Bassitt (7-2, 3.40), who gave up two runs over five innings in a win over the Royals on Sunday. Bassitt has also been good for Oakland, but note that the A's have seen the total go over in eight of their last 11 in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent. Everything points to this one flying over sooner, rather than later; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Oakland. | |||||||
06-23-21 | Hawks v. Bucks UNDER 226.5 | Top | 116-113 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Bucks UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). I think the extra time off between series will have an effect on the Bucks offensive flow. The last thing that Atlanta can afford to do is to turn this into a "track meet" and expect to hang with the high-scoring Bucks. I don't expect that to happen. Altanta has advanced to this point by playing suffocating defense and being efficient on the offensive end. The Hawks have also seen the total go under in eight of their last 11 when playing with three or more days rest. Everything points to Game 1 staying well under the posted number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY | |||||||
06-23-21 | Lightning v. Islanders UNDER 5 | Top | 2-3 | Push | 0 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning/Isles UNDER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Who could have possibly predicted an 8-0 Tampa win in Game 5? This series had been very tight and competitive up until then. I'm in fact not going to read anything at all into that weird result. Those types of blowouts do happen in the playoffs. The bottom line is the Isles have the No. 2 defense still in the league and they've seen the total go under in eight of their last 11 after a five goals or greater loss in their previous outing. I believe New York will risk life and limb today to try and stave off elimination and when you add it all up, I'm going to hammer the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Tampa. | |||||||
06-22-21 | Clippers v. Suns OVER 224 | Top | 103-104 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clips/Suns OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Game 1 sailed well over the number and everything points to a duplicate final combined score here as well. The Suns actually got off to a slow start in Game 1, before then finally starting to "click" in the fourth quarter. I'd argue that with Chris Paul in for the Suns here, who likes to direct from the point, and with Kawhi Leonard in for the Clippers (an ex defensive MVP and lock down specialist), that this would be more of a defensive affair, than an offensive one. With those two guys still sidelined, look for Game 2 to fly well over before the final horn sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-21-21 | Islanders v. Lightning OVER 5 | Top | 0-8 | Win | 100 | 11 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Islanders/Lightning OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). So far the NHL Conference Finals have been dominated by tight defensive play. New York held on for the tight 3-2 in Game 4, and the total "pushed." Now the series shifts back to Tampa and I believe the Lightning are going to put the foot on the gas from the very first face-off. One thing I'll point out as well is that the Bolts have seen the total go over the number in eight of their last 11 in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which they scored two or less goals in. This one will be much more wide open and that's going to lead to this total blasting past the posted number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Tampa. | |||||||
06-20-21 | Golden Knights v. Canadiens UNDER 5 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 113 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Knights/Habs UNDER (10* TOTAL SLAP-SHOT). The first three games of this series have fallen right on 5. I think Game 4 will be the lowest-scoring so far though. Montreal has the advantage and it'll now be looking to lock down and look for the Knights to make the first mistake. The Knights have been great defensively as well, but were the victim of an unlucky bounce in their 2-1, OT Game 3 loss. Expect Carey Price and Marc-Andre Fleury to battle tough and ultimatley look for this total to fall well under once it's all said and done. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Vegas. | |||||||
06-20-21 | Reds v. Padres OVER 8 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Padres/Reds OVER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). The Padres won 7-5 yesterday and I predict a similar final combined score here as well. Luis Castillo (2-9, 5.83 ERA), enters off his strongest start of the year, holding the Brewers scoreless over seven innings on Tuesday. Castillo has been better of late, but he's still only 1-4 with a 5.99 ERA on the road. Dinelson Lamet (1-2, 3.33) gae up one run over four innings in a loss to the Rockies on Monday. He's only pitched 27 innings, so the sample size is just too small to draw any final conclusions, but I will point out that the Padres have seen the total go over in eight of their last 11 after scoring seven or more runs in a home victory in their last outing. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Padres. | |||||||
06-20-21 | Mets v. Nationals UNDER 8.5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 3 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nats/Mets UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Two teams that normally have difficulties putting runs on the board face-off against two red hot hurlers and everything points to this one staying well under the number. The Mets see Taijuan Walker (6-2, 2.12 ERA) toe the rubber, and he most recently picked up a win over the Cubs on Tuesday, striking out 12 over seven innings. Walker has now allowed one run or fewer in six of his last seven starts. Patrick Corbin (4-5, 5.60) comes in off his strongest start of the year and I expect him to build off it, holding the Pirates to one run over 8.1 innings while striking out seven. Over 70.2 innings he has a decent 55/27 K/W. I'm banking on these two starters garnering most of the headlines in tomorrow's summaries; this number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Mets. | |||||||
06-19-21 | Brewers v. Rockies OVER 10.5 | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rockies/Brewers OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Colorado won here 6-5 last night and I expect the Rockies to build off that victory with another here on Saturday night. Austin Gomber (6-5, 3.54 ERA) has been solid for the Rockies with a 75/23 K/W. Gomber enters on top form, having won three straight and all signs point to that progression rolling here going up against Adrian House (4-5, 3.62), who gave up two runs over five innings in a win over the lowly Pirates on Sunday. Houser has been great in all day games, going 1-1 with a 2.15 ERA, but he's been poor in all night contests, going 3-4 with a 4.90 ERA. Look for another high-scoring affair here after these starters exit the game; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Rockies. | |||||||
06-18-21 | Jazz v. Clippers OVER 219.5 | 119-131 | Win | 100 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Clippers/Jazz OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Kawhi Leonard out? No matter. In steps Paul George to put together one of his best playoff performance of all time in the Clippers Game 5 victory. LA has now won three straight and it has a shot at knocking off the Jazz and advancing. Utah though won't be rolling over obviously and it'll be out to dictate the tempo of this one, which I expect to be a very fast one. The last thing Utah can do is sit back and wait, it has to be the aggressor from the opening tip until the final horn (note as well that the Jazz have seen the total go over the number in eight of their last 11 after three or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row.) This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-18-21 | 76ers v. Hawks UNDER 221.5 | Top | 104-99 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/76ers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). This has been a competitive series, but one which has been dominated mostly by the Hawks great defensive play. With a chance to close out this series at home, I believe Atlanta will come with its very strongest defensive performance yet to date. Philadelphia is struggling to find scoring and is running its offense through big man Joel Embiid. Half-court sets though tend to lead to lower-scoring affairs. The Hawks have also seen the total go under in eight of their last 11 home games as an underdog in the 2.5 to 5.5 points range. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY | |||||||
06-17-21 | Austria v. Netherlands OVER 2.5 | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Over 2.5 Netherlands/Austria (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). Both teams have scored in five of the last seven meetings against each other. Three of the Netherlands last six matches have ended with both teams having found the back of the net. Both sides loooked good moving forward in their opening games, but weak on the back end. This one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Netherlands. | |||||||
06-16-21 | Canadiens v. Golden Knights UNDER 5 | Top | 3-2 | Push | 0 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Habs/Knights UNDER (10* TOTAL BEST OF BEST). Game 1 went under the number and I believe that Game 2 is destined to fall under the posted number as well. Yes, Las Vegas has the No. 3 ranked offense in the league, but it also has the No. 1 defense. Montreal sports the best defensive numbers of any team in the postseason thus far and after giving up four goals in Game 1, I believe it doubles down on the defensive end tonight. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Vegas. | |||||||
06-16-21 | Hawks v. 76ers UNDER 223.5 | Top | 109-106 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/76ers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Not many predicted the Hawks would be competitive in the playoffs, but after steamrolling the Knicks and evening this series back up with an impressive 103-100 win in Game 4, no one can look past Trae Young and company. Young continues to shine offensively, but it's been Atlanta's suffocating defensive play which has been the difference-maker. Philly's high-powered offense is unable to handle the aggressive rotations and if the Hawks have any hopes of pulling of an upset here, they're going to have to do it by duplicating their Game 4 performance. I expect a slower-paced and ultimately lower-scoring under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-15-21 | Bucks v. Nets OVER 218.5 | Top | 108-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Nets OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). I think very surprisingly, all four games to open this series have so far fallen UNDER the posted number. I do now think that trend changes here though. Kyrie Irving won't be playing because of a sprained ankle, but Kevin Durant will be and he still has Blake Griffin and Jeff Green. The Bucks though have to be feeling confident after back-to-back victories and they must be able to smell the blood in the water with their injured opponent. Everything in my opinion points to Game 5 finally flying over the lowest set total so far in this series; the play is indeed the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-15-21 | Rangers v. Astros UNDER 8.5 | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rangers/Astros UNDER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). The opener of this three-game series sets up as a "duel" in my opinion. The Rangers go with Kyle Gibson (4-0, 2.13 ERA), who last allowed two runs and struck out five over six innings in a no-decision to the Giants. He'll be opposed by Lance McCullers (3-1, 2.96), woh has been activated from the DL to make his return. NOte that he's been great at home thus far with a 3.19 ERA. Everything points to these two competent hurler fighting deep into the latter frames; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Astros. | |||||||
06-14-21 | Canadiens v. Golden Knights UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vegas/Habs UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Both teams have proven they can score. Each has played to some high-scoring contests so far in the playoffs to advance, but the bottom line is, the reason these two teams are in this battle right now is because of their unreal goaltending and defense. And I don't expect anything to change here in Game 1. Each team has had a couple days off to catch its breath. Montreal will be doubling down on the defensive end, just like it did in its sweep over the Jets. Montreal won't want to turn this into a "track meet" with the Knight; I'm banking on a lower-scoring under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Vegas. | |||||||
06-13-21 | Suns v. Nuggets OVER 222 | Top | 125-118 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Nuggets OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). I have to admit, I didn't expect Phoenix to roll to three straight victories over the Nuggets. The Suns have a golden opportunity to end this series here and now and I expect them to keep the foot on the gas here from start to finish. And for the Nuggets, it's hard to imagine this team actually getting swept, despite not having Jamal Murray in the lineup. I think Denver won't go down without a fight. It fought back from consecutive 3-1 deficits in last year's playoffs and it'll be out to try and push this series back to Phoenix. I expect Game 4 to be the fastest-paced, most wide open so far; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-12-21 | Rangers v. Dodgers OVER 7.5 | 12-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rangers/Dodgers OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Dodgers won here 12-1 last night. I expect even more runs scored here, except I believe it'll be much more competitive this time around. Trevor Bauer (6-4, 2.40 ERA) has been great overall for LA, but note that the DOgers have seen the total go over the number in eight of their last 11 after scoring 12 or more runs in a home win in their previous outing. I don't trust Kolby Allard (1-2, 3.41) on the road; he's been great overall but he's 1-1 with a 2.22 ERA at home, and 0-1 with a 5.51 ERA on the road. This one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Dodgers. | |||||||
06-11-21 | Italy v. Turkey OVER 2.5 | Top | 3-0 | Win | 125 | 7 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Italy/Turkey OVER 2.5 Goals The Opener of the Euro's finally kicks off on Friday afternoon in North America. Both Italy and Turkey have been superb heading into this tournament. Italy and Turkey have "drawn" in their last two games against each other, and while each teams is very adept on the defensive end, each is also filled with plenty of scoring talent. Note that three of Tukey's last six international mathes have seen both teams get on the scoreboard, while the Italians have found the back of the net in each of their last nine outings. I'm expecting a wide-open pace here as Italy tries to send an early message; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Italy | |||||||
06-10-21 | Clippers v. Jazz OVER 221.5 | Top | 111-117 | Win | 100 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clippers/Jazz OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Game 1 went under the number, but I think that Game 2 will go over. The Clippers looked good in the first half, but Utah mounted a big come from behind victory and held off a late rally to win Game 1 by a score of 112-109. LA was likely gassed after its seven game series win over the Mavericks, but now I expect a much more wide-open affair this time around. The Jazz hadn't played in over a week, so their "rust" was a contributing factor to their slow start as well. But now that they've shaken off the rust, I also expect a more consistent and efficient offensive performance in Game 2. When you add it all up, this number is indeed a little low; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-09-21 | Nuggets v. Suns UNDER 222.5 | Top | 98-123 | Win | 100 | 13 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Nuggets UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Denver looked really good over the first two quarters of Game 1, but then the Suns dialled up the pressure in the second half, and the Nuggets lost their focus an intensity. I expect Game 2 to be a much more competitive affair. Denver will be leaning heavily on league MVP Nikola Jokic here, so expect a lot of "half court sets" while Denver is on offense. The Nuggets are a good perimeter defending team and I think they'll make the necessary adjustments to combat Devin Booker and Chris Paul. Denver has also seen the total go under in ten of its last 14 in trying to revenge a road loss of 15 or more points to an opponent; this number is definitely high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-08-21 | Mariners v. Tigers OVER 8 | 3-5 | Push | 0 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tigers/Mariners OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Marco Gonzalez (1-3, 5.01 ERA), is coming off a strong outing against the A's, allowing one run over four innings. Gonzalez though has been poor overall this year, especially on the road where he's just 1-2 with a 6.56 ERA. Matt Boyd is 2-6 with a 3.90 ERA, and while he's been better at home than on the road, he's coming off a poor start which I think is a precursor to further regression, allowing five runs over four innings to the Brewers. Everything points to these two starters getting chased early and I expect that to help in driving this total over the number! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Detroit. | |||||||
06-07-21 | Nuggets v. Suns UNDER 220.5 | Top | 105-122 | Loss | -104 | 13 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Suns UNDER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). This is a great situational play in my opinion. Denver is going to be much tougher on Chris Paul and Devin Booker with its perimeter defense. Denver won't want to turn this into a "shootout" either, instead running its offense through big man Nikola Jokic. I think Game 1 of this series will absolutely fall below this number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-07-21 | Bucks v. Nets OVER 233.5 | 86-125 | Loss | -111 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nets/Bucks OVER (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Game 1 looked like it could go over the number after the first half, but each team struggled somewhat with offensive consistency in the second half. The Bucks are going to have to be the aggressors here though to avoid an 0-2 hole. Brooklyn lost a valuable piece in James Harden temporarily, so the onus is on Kevin Durant here to carry the load for the home side. Instead of a defensive affair this time around, I expect a much more wide-open one. A faster pace = more shots and more shots = more points; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-07-21 | Islanders v. Bruins OVER 5 | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bruins/Islanders (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). This series is all tied up. The first two games went over the number, the second two went under. With the shift in venue, I absolutely expect another high-scoring contest here in this all important Game 5. Boston has also seen the total go over the number in seven of its last ten in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to one or less goals in. Everything points to a huge offensive explosion; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Boston. | |||||||
06-06-21 | Avalanche v. Golden Knights UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -117 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Avs/Vegas UNDER (10* TOTAL BEST OF THE BEST). Two great offenses and two great defenses. Honestly, it wouldn't be difficult at all to write a convincing argument for this total to either over or under today. So why will Game 4 fall under the total in my opinion? Vegas was "lucky" to earn a victory in its last outing, needing two late goals to secure the unlikely win. Both teams are sitting back and waiting for the other to make the first mistake, and everything in my opinion points to this same game-plan happening here in Game 4. In what I expect to be another highly-competitive affair, look for this one to stay well under again! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Vegas. | |||||||
06-06-21 | Red Sox v. Yankees OVER 9.5 | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yanks/Red Sox OVER (10* AL TOTAL OF MONTH). In my opinion, the Sunday night game has slug-fest written all over it. Garrett Richards (4-4, 3.75 ERA) owns a poor 14/12 K/BB over his last three outings. Domingo German (4-3, 3.27) has been a solid starter in this struggling Yankees rotation this year, but note that New York has seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of its last 11 after three or more straight losses in a row; this one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Yanks. | |||||||
06-06-21 | Mavs v. Clippers OVER 209.5 | 111-126 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection:Clippers/Mavericks OVER (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). These teams have engaged in several low-scoring games, but everything points to an offensive explosion on Game 7 in my opinion. Dallas actually has been averaging more points on the road in the playoffs than at home (115 compared to 105.1 in Dallas). The Clippers average 108 points at home, but they'll be the aggressors here from the outset. I'll point out as well that Dallas has seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it was help to 100 points or less in. Everything points to a shootout, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-06-21 | Hawks v. 76ers UNDER 220.5 | Top | 128-124 | Loss | -104 | 4 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: 76ers/Hawks UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Joel Embiid is out, and that's significant for this Philadelphia team. On both ends of the court. Atlanta rolled over the Knicks in five games though, which is impressive, as New York came into the playoffs with a ton of momentum. Atlanta made it look easy though against a very good Knicks defense. The Hawks though stifled the Knicks defenensively and if they have any hopes of winning this game (and series), they'll have to double-down again on that end. Philly can play either a high-tempo or defensive affair (finished as the No. 3 defense), and without Embiid in the line-up (or playing at less than 100%), I believe Philly also tries to generate its offense, through tough defensive play. The bottom line is, it all adds up to a play on the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-05-21 | Bucks v. Nets OVER 239 | Top | 107-115 | Loss | -101 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nets/Bucks OVER (10* 2ND ROUND TOTAL OF YEAR). If you think either of these teams are going to play any defense in this series, then I have a bridge to sell you over in Brooklyn. Milwaukee was the highest-scoring team in the league, it averaged 120.1 PPG. The Nets were No. 2 in the league, averaging 118.6. And Brooklyn averaged that with its "Big 3" only playing eight games together in the regular season. These teams easily marched through their first round opponents and each comes in fresh and healthy. Expect an up-tempo, high-scoring shootout in Game 1; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-05-21 | Indians v. Orioles UNDER 8.5 | 10-4 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Orioles/Indians UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). I'm expecting an absolute pitchers "duel" here between two line-ups that struggle with offensive consistency. Aaron Civale is 7-2 with a 3.28 ERA. He hasn't been at his best over his last two starts, but that's only because he's set the bar so high so early. Civale is still 4-1 with a 3.37 ERA on the road. John Means (4-1, 2.05) has been spectacular this year. He's off his first loss of the year to the White Sox despite only allowing three runs over five innings. To go along with his tiny ERA, he also owns a great 0.80 WHIP. Everything points to these two studs battling into the latter frames; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Orioles. | |||||||
06-02-21 | Rangers v. Rockies OVER 10.5 | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -125 | 12 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockies/Rangers OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Colorado won 3-2 in extra innings here yesterday. After that low-scoring contest, I expect plenty of offensive fireowrks here on Wednesday. The bottom line is, I don't trust either Antonio Senzatela (1-5, 4.97 ERA) of the Rockies, or Jordan Lyles (2-4, 5.79) of the Rangers here as starting pitchers. Each has struggled with consistency from game-to-game this year and throwing at Coors is definitely not what the doctor ordered. Finally, note the Rangers have seen the total go over the number in seven of their last ten in trying to revenge an extra innings road loss to an opponent; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 8-7 Rockies. | |||||||
06-02-21 | Canadiens v. Jets UNDER 5.5 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Habs/Jets UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Clearly, Montreal is going to be tired. Fatigued. After an emotional seven-game series victory over the Leafs in which they had to battle back from a 3-1 deficit, the only way Montreal is going to win this series is to do exactly what it did to Toronto, to Winnipeg in this game, and series. And that's play stifling defense and ride the fantastic play of goaltender Carey Price, who has been fantastic. I think the Jets afterburners get cooled here after a week off between series. Look for this one to stay well under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Winnipeg. | |||||||
05-30-21 | Clippers v. Mavs OVER 221 | 106-81 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Clippers/Mavericks OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The last two games have flown over the number, and everything points to Game 4 following suit in my opinion. The Clippers are right back in this series after their 118-108 Game 3 win. LA has seen the total go over in eight of its last 12 after a SU/ATS road victory of ten or more points. The Mavericks score 240 cmbined points over the first two games, but only had 108 last time out. Expect a "return to the norm" here on the offensive end for the Mavericks though, as note that they've seen the total soar over the number in six of their last eight in trying to revenge a home loss of ten or more points against an opponent; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-30-21 | Giants v. Dodgers UNDER 7.5 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Giants/Dodgers UNDER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE). The last two games of this four-game series have flown over the number, but everything points to a classic "pitchers duel" between each team's bonafide "ace" on the mound to start. The visitors go with Kevin Gausman (5-0, 1.53 ERA), who went five shutout innings in a victory over the D-Backs in his last start, striking out nine in the process (allowed 11 runs over 64.2 innings.) Clayton Kershaw (7-3, 2.94) counters for the LA, and he gave up one run and struck out six over eight innings in a win over the Astros on Tuesday (owns a ridiculous 71/10 K/BB this year as well.) This one will be decided by these two starters; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
05-29-21 | Jazz v. Grizzlies OVER 223.5 | 121-111 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies/Jazz OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). These teams are all tied up at one game apiece. Both games have gone over the number so far in this series, and I expect that trend to continue here. Donovan Mitchell returned to the Jazz line-up in Game 2 and Utah pulled away for a huge 141-129 victory. Note that Utah has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 off a SU/ATS home victory in which it scored 130 or more points in. The Grizzlies will have to match pace with their suddenly confident opponent and in my opinion, all of these listed factors add up to a high-scoring over T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-29-21 | Islanders v. Bruins OVER 5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Isles/Bruins OVER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE). These are two tough defensive teams. New York is ranked No. 2 on the defensive side, while Boston is ranked 15th. Each only ranks in the middle of the pack on the defensive end as well. So why is this total going to go over the number, instead of under? I believe the winner of this series will be the one that can establish itself on the offensive end and I expect each team to open up the pace in an attempt to do that in Game 1. While everyone else "zigs," we're going to "zag." This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Boston. | |||||||
05-28-21 | Wild v. Golden Knights UNDER 5 | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vegas/Wild UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Minnesota has clawed its way back into this series, winning two in a row and it'll have to keep up the intensity here, especially on the defensive side if it wants to complete the upset comeback. Minnesota was blanked last time out in Game 6 by a score of 3-0. The Knights have the best defense in the league, and I expect them to fall back on their strength here in Game 7. Expect a hard-hitting, grind-it-out affair, where every puck is contested and back-checking throughout; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Vegas. | |||||||
05-28-21 | Nets v. Celtics OVER 227 | 119-125 | Win | 101 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Celtics/Nets OVER (8* MONEY-MAKER). Brooklyn has been surprisingly good on the defensive end of the court over the first two games of this series, but I think Boston will bring its "A" game here as it tries to get back into this series with a win at home in Game 3. Another loss will surely spell "D-O-O-M" for Boston, which almost assuredly couldn't get back into this series down 3-0. Jayson Tatum was held in check in Game 2 and there's no way I expect that to happen twice. The strength of Brooklyn though is in transition, so today's faster pace will suit it just fine. Everything points to the over as the correct call in Game 3! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-28-21 | Knicks v. Hawks OVER 211 | Top | 94-105 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Knicks/Hawks OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Yes, the first two games of this series have gone under, but everything points to more of a shootout in Game 3. The Knicks looked bad again over the first half of Game 2, but Julius Randle finally showed up and New York finally was able to pull away in the second half for a convincing victory. The Knicks have seen the total go over in eight of their last 11 after back-to-back home unders as well. The last thing the Hawks can do is allow New YOrk to control the pace of this one, so expect an all out attack from the opening tip, until the final horn from the home side. Wheh you add it all up, everything points to the over as the correct call in Game 3! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-27-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers OVER 227.5 | Top | 120-115 | Win | 100 | 13 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers/Nuggets OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The first two games of this series have flown over the number and I absolutely expect this trend to continue here. Portland struggled to contain Nikola Jokic in Game 2. The Blazers are back on their home floor though and they'll now look to stretch this Denver defense by jacking up plenty of three-balls. Portland isn't going to win this series with its tough defensive play, instead getting out on transtion on offense is the key to victory for the home side. With each side pushing the tempo, look for this one to fly over before the final buzzer sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-26-21 | Wizards v. 76ers OVER 230.5 | 95-120 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wizards/76ers OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Game 1 went over the number, and I believe that Game 2 will as well. Neither team is known for its defensive prowess. Clearly, the last thing the Wizards can do here is try to sit back and let Philadelphia dictate the tempo of the game. Philly will try its best to run its offense through its big man Joel Embiid, but Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal will absolutely be pushing the pace of this one from the opening tip until the final horn. The stage is now set for some offensive fireworks; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-24-21 | Blazers v. Nuggets OVER 227 | Top | 109-128 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Blazers OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Was I surprised by Portland's big 123-109 win over the Nuggets? Not entirely, especially with a spread which was almost a "pick em." I was a little surprised though at the Nuggets offensive inconsistency, which I expect to get corrected here. Denver was eighth in the regular season in scoring with 115.1 PPG, while Portland was fifth, averaging 116.1. Don't expect Portland's inconsistent defense to show up like that two games in a row. The Playoffs are all about adjustments from game-to-game. Denver will be out to push the pace and take command of this game before heading back to Portland as well. When you add it all up, this one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-24-21 | Cardinals v. White Sox UNDER 8.5 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cards/White Sox UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). The White Sox are struggling at the plate right now. They enter off a three-game series loss at New York. Thankfully they're sending their ace to the mound in Lance Lynn (4-1, 1.55 ERA), who has a sharp 0.98 WHIP. The Cardinals are 26-20 and overall. Kwang Hyun Kim (1-1, 2.73), looks to bounce back from an off outing vs. San Diego and he's been sharp in all "night" games by going 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA. Look for these two hungry/capable starters to battle deep; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 ChiSox. | |||||||
05-23-21 | Lakers v. Suns UNDER 213.5 | 90-99 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Lakers UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). These two teams are both in the Top 10 in several defensive categories. Each likes to run its offense through its big men, or to set up isolation plays for star players. This invariably leads to a lot of clock-killing on the offensive end. The Lakers will be out to establish their defensive superiority from the "get go," here, as they'll look to avoid getting into any track meets with Chris Paul and Devin Booker. I expect a hard-fought, but lower-scoring Game 1. The play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-22-21 | Mavs v. Clippers OVER 221.5 | Top | 113-103 | Loss | -103 | 79 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavs/Clippers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Its payback time for the Mavericks, who lost 4-2 to the Clippers in the first round last year. It was an even series until Kristaps Porzingis got injured. Dallas won two of three in the regular season series. The Mavericks excelled on the offensive end this year, but struggled defensively. The Clippers are hoping that Paul George can return to form here after a shaky playoff performance last year. The Clippers are a defensive oriented team, filled with veterans, but with the visitors pushing the pace, look for this one to fly well over befor the final horn sounds; the play is indeed the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-21-21 | Hurricanes v. Predators OVER 5 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Predators/Canes OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Carolina won the first game by a score of 5-2 and the second one in this opening series by a score of 3-0. With their backs against the wall, The Predators return home and look to push the pace from start to finish as they try their best to claw their way back into this series. It's very intesting to note that Nashville has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge a road shutout loss vs. an opponent as well. Carolina is one of the best on both ends of the ice, but it hasn't had any issues scoring against Nashville. Don't expect that trend to change here either. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 6-5 Carolina. | |||||||
05-20-21 | Pacers v. Wizards OVER 237 | Top | 115-142 | Win | 100 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wizards/Pacers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Indiana managed a massive 144-117 rout of the Hornets in its first play-in game, and if it has any shot at taking this one in the Nation's capital, it'll have to duplicate that performance. The Wizards will be extra motivated here as well after falling 118-100 to Boston. The Wizards are one of the highest-scoring teams in the league though, and there's no reason not to think it won't be able to bounce-back here against a team it won all three-games against in the regular season, scoring 132, 154 and 133 in the process. Also note that the Wiz have seen the total go over in eight of their last 12 after getting held to 100 points or less in a SU/ATS loss in their previous outing. All signs point to a wide-open shootout; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-19-21 | Tigers v. Mariners OVER 8 | 6-2 | Push | 0 | 13 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mariners/Tigers OVER (8* SUPER TOTAL). The Mariners won't be lacking for motivation here off back-to-back low-scoring losses to Detroit, including yesterday's 5-0 setback (the M's though have seen the total go over in eight of their last 11 in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent in which they were shutout in.) The Tigers can't look past any opportunity either after a slow start. Tarik Skubal is 0-6 with a 5.73 ERA for the Tigers, while Logan Gilbert is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA for the Mariners. Expect these two to get the hook early and look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 6-5 Mariners. | |||||||
05-18-21 | Hornets v. Pacers UNDER 227.5 | 117-144 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hornets/Pacers UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Both teams are banged up, but especially the Pacers. Indiana will be without the services of leading scorer Malcolm Brogdon in this one, and Caris Lavert is also questionable. Charlotte enters on a five-game losing streak. The Hornets are dealing with injury issues as well. I believe each team will body up on their opponents throughout, with plenty of full and half-court pressure. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-17-21 | Blues v. Avalanche UNDER 5.5 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Avs/Blues UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). St. Louis struggles offensively, but it makes up for it on the defensive end. The Blues average 2.9 GPG, while allowing 2.9 as well. Colorado averages 3.5 GPG, but it concedes just 2.3. The last thing the Blues can do here is turn this into a wide-open game and expect to hang with Colorado. Two great goaltenders going head-to-head here and everything points to a classic battle; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Avs. | |||||||
05-17-21 | White Sox v. Twins UNDER 9 | Top | 16-4 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox/Twins UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). I think these starting pitchers are in line for a classic duel on Monday night. Chicago goes with Dallas Keuchel (2-1, 4.53 ERA), who comes in off his worst start of the season, allowing six runs off eight hits over 5.2 innings vs. these very Twins, but still managed to get the victory. Previous to that he delivered seven scoreless. The home side counters with JA Happ (2-1, 4.26), who will also be out to atone for last week's poor outing vs. the White Sox, as he threw opposite Keuchel, conceding nine runs off nine hits over 3.1 innings. Heading into that contest Happ had a 1.91 ERA and 0.85 WHIP over 28.1 innings. Expect these hungry and capable starters to get back on track; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 White Sox. | |||||||
05-16-21 | Islanders v. Penguins OVER 5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Isles/Penguins OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). These two teams are very evenly matched. Pittsburgh was one of the best home teams in the league, and it got the job done by crushing teams with a relentless offensive attack, which saw it post 3.4 GPG. That offense will be going up against the league's top defense in the Islanders, which allowd just 2.00 GPG. However note, the Isles have seen the total go over in eigth of their last 12 road games as an underdog in the +105 to +135 range. If this Game 1 was being played in New York, I'd like the under, but because it's in Pittsburgh, the value has swung the other way; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Pens. | |||||||
05-15-21 | West Ham United v. Brighton & Hove Albion UNDER 2.5 | Top | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: West Ham/Brighton UNDER 2.5 (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). West Ham is looking to keep its top four hopes alive. The Seagulls are 17th in the standings, and I think they'll just go through the motions here. The Hammers on the other hand are sixth, so this is a big game for them. And after drawing 2-2 in the reverse fixture earlier, don't expect the visitors to take anything for granted; this one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 1-0 Hammers. | |||||||
05-15-21 | Suns v. Spurs UNDER 223 | Top | 140-103 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Spurs/Suns UNDER (10* TOTAL PLAYBOOK). The Spurs struggled in their last game, falling 102-98 in New York, and I think they'll struggle again here vs. the Suns. Phoenix held on for a 118-117 win over Portland last time out, and everything points to a letdown here (note that the Suns have seen the total go under the number in eight of their last 11 after scoring 115 or more points in their previous outing.) This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
