09-19-23 | Mariners -1.5 v. A's | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
The Seattle Mariners take on the Oakland Athletics in an AL West Matchup. Seattle will look to pick up a win by sending Luis Castillo to the mound. He is 13-7 with a 3.08 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. Oakland will go with Paul Blackburn on the mound. He is 4-5 with a 4.14 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP. Castillo has held three of his last four opponents to eight total hits in 19 innings. he has not allowed opponents to score as he has held five of his last seven opponents to four combined runs. The opposite has been true for Blackburn. He has only lasted six total innings in his last two outings, giving up six runs and ten hits. The Mariners are 9-1 in the season series against Oakland. The Mariners have dominated the A's this season and have the Superior pitcher and better offense. I am laying the 1.5 runs in this one as the Mariners should score multiple runs and the A's will struggle to score against Castillo. Play on Seattle minus 1.5 runs. This is a 4% play | |||||||

The Detroit Tigers take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in an interleague battle. Eduardo Rodriguez gets the start for the Tigers. He is 11-8 with a 3.32 ERA. The Dodgers will counter with Lance Lynn. He is 11-11 with a 5.94 ERA. LA has won five of their previous seven series at home. They have won three of their last four games overall. The Los Angeles offense has been potent, having scored six runs or more in eight of their last nine games. Lynn met the Tigers in May as a White Sox and allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits in six innings. The Dodgers have hit Rodriguez in the past and I like them to do it again today. The Tigers are near the bottom in most offensive categories. Lay the run line with the Dodgers. Play on the LA Dodgers, minus 1.5 runs. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
09-17-23 | Dolphins -2 v. Patriots | 24-17 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
The home team tends to win these games (five of the last six), but Miami has won against the spread in five straight. The Patriots threw the ball 55 times last week and it is something they don't want to have to do this week. I look for them to come out and try to run the ball against the Dolphins defense. The Dolphins' offense showed last week how explosive their offense can be. The Dolphins have won their previous four games against the spread overall. They have also won their last four games against the spread on the road. New England has lost five straight games against the spread and seven of their previous eight. They have also lost five straight games at home against the spread. The Dolphins have scored 20 or more points in four of the previous five matchups with the Patriots while New England has averaged only 16 against Miami's defense in their last five games. As long as Tua can stay healthy the Dolphins offense can get the job done. I like them to go on the road and take down the hoodie. Play on Miami. This is a 4% play | |||||||
09-17-23 | 49ers -7 v. Rams | 30-23 | Push | 0 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
The Rams surprised many last week, going into Seattle and pounding the Seahawks. They were able to get it done without Cooper Kupp in the lineup but this week they face a different monster. They will be facing what could be the best team in football at the moment. The 49ers have both an outstanding defense and offense. I think it will be the San Fran defense that will be the difference in this one. I think they will be able to slow if not shut down the Rams' offense, especially without Kupp in the lineup. San Francisco's offense is loaded with weapons as Christian McCaffrey can hurt you on the ground and receiving passes from Brock Purdy. Through in Aiyuk, who caught eight passes for 129 yards when defeating Pittsburgh last week. San Francisco's defense, which gave up just seven Samuel and Kittle and that is a lot for the Rams' defense to cover. A touchdown is a lot in the NFL but I like the 49ers to cover the number. Play on San Francisco. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
09-17-23 | Bears v. Bucs -2.5 | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
The Buccaneers got a surprising win over Minnesota and Baker Mayfield looked decent as their quarterback. Justin Fileds and the Bears' play calling in general looked confused and inconsistent. Tampa Bay got outgained 369-242 against Minnesota and still won the game. After a dismal season last year, the Bears are almost in must-win mode early in the season. They need to find a way to get the ball to DJ Moore, who was invisible in game 1, as Fields was incapable or scared to throw the ball downfield. Evans and Godwin should have good days for the Bucs and I like thier defense over the Bear's defense. Play on Tampa Bay. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
09-17-23 | Chiefs -2.5 v. Jaguars | 17-9 | Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
Last season the Chiefs had the top-scoring offense in the league. They struggled in game one but that could be expected without Kelce in the lineup. They were also playing a fired-up Lions defense and throwing in multiple dropped passes and I look at that game as an anomaly and not of things going forward. Jacksonville’s offense looked good in week 1, scoring over 30 points. The Chiefs didn’t get a lot of pressure on Goff but even if Chris Jones just plays a number of snaps, they should get better pressure on the QB. Kansas City will have their best pass rusher and best receiver back this week and will be looking to make up for last week's performance. The last time Jacksonville beat Kansas City was in 2009, and they have lost seven straight since. Kelce adds to the Chiefs offense and you can't expect Toney to drop wide-open passes every week. I like the Chiefs to bounce back in this one. Play on Kansas City. This is a 3% play | |||||||
09-16-23 | Iowa State -2 v. Ohio | 7-10 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 3 m | Show | |
Iowa State played tuff against top-25 ranked Iowa last week and probably should have won that game. They also looked good against N. Iowas in week one. Ohio moved the ball last week but found it difficult to put points on the board and turned the ball over too much. They will have to play better against Iowa State if they are to have a chance to win. Iowa State will control the trenches on both sides of the ball and will be able to control the game. The line seems a little low but will ride with the Cyclones in this one. Play on Iowa State. This is a 3% play | |||||||
09-15-23 | Twins -1.5 v. White Sox | 10-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
What can you say, Chicago has been terrible this season, and the only thing they are playing for is to avoid 100 losses and it doesn't look like they care about that either. Lopez has been solid this season and has posted a 2.35 ERA over his last five starts. Sholtens has been terrible, posting a 4.44 ERA this season but over his last five starts, it has jumped to 7.54. Minnesota is 6-3 against Chicago this season and in their six wins, three have covered. I like the Twins bats to tee off against Sholtens and the Sox bullpen. Play on Minnesota minus 1.5 runs.

The Atlanta Braves take on the Miami Marlins. The Braves will send Bryce Elder to the mound while the Marlins will send out Johnny Cueto. The Braves have the AL West locked up and have won six of their last 10. The will look to keep the momentum going the last couple of weeks of the season by sending Bryce Elder to the mound. He is 12-4 this season with a 3.38 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. The Marins are battling for the final playoff spot but have to do better than going 5-5 over their last 10. Johnny Cueto gets the call for tonight's game. He is 1-4 with a 6.15 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. The Marlins are a dismal 1-9 both SU and on the run line when facing the Braves this season. Johnny Cueto has posted an 8.31 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in two starts this month. Atlanta has an advantage on the mound and a huge one at the plate. lay the run-line with the Braves.

09-14-23 | Vikings +6 v. Eagles | 28-34 | Push | 0 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
The defending NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles will be at home when they take on the Minnesota Vikings in Thursday night football. Minnesota is coming off a loss to TB while the Eagles took their opener against the Patriots. The Vikings won every close game last season but dropped a game to Tampa Bay when they were tied heading into the fourth. Kirk Cousins threw for 344 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception but rushed for just 41 yards. The Eagles got off to a great start but struggled to put the Patriots away in the second half. Jalen Hurts had just 170 passing yards, going 22-33 with one touchdown. These Egles took last year's game between the two 24-7 at home. The Patriots were able to through the ball against the Eagles and if the Vikings can protect Cousins from that defensive front they have a chance to keep it close. Play on Minnesota... Buy the half point to make it 7 or 7.5. This is a free play | |||||||

The Twins head south to Chicago in what at the beginning of the year could have been a deciding series to the season, but not so much now. The Twins have won seven of their last 13 games. The White Sox have lost nine of their last 12. The twins will send Kenta Maeda to the mound. He is 4-7 this season with a 4.65 ERA. He has posted a 3.42 ERA on the road this season and a 3.53 ERA at night. The Twins are 8-10 this year when Maeda starts but just 3-7 on the road. The Chicago White Sox are just trying to avoid a hundred losses. Chicago has lost four of their last five games and nine of their last 12 games. The Sox will go with Jose Urena on the mound. He is 0-5 this season with an 8.46 ERA in six starts this season. The Twins offense is putting up 6 runs a game in September. There isn't much to like about Chicago and even though Maeda doesn't instill a lot of confidence you have to like him in this match-up. Lay the run-line. Play on Minnesota minus 1.5 runs.

Both teams come into this season with high expectations and new players. Fresno State has a new quarterback as Jake Haener went to the NFL. UCF transfer Mikey Keene will take over under center. Keene went 8-3 as a starter at UCF. They have an experienced offensive line which should help Keene and the passing game.

The Miami (Ohio) RedHawks finished last season with a disappointing 6-7 record and they were 4-4 in conference play. Brett Gabbert will get the start at quarterback.

The Florida Gators travel to Morman Country to kick off the season against the 14th-ranked Utah Utes in a non-conference matchup. The Gators were a disappointing 6-7 last season while the Utes were 10-4. Florida won last season's opener 29-26 at home. The Florida Gators have a new quarterback this season in Wisconsin transfer Graham Mertz. For the Badgers, he threw for 2,136 yards with 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. They return their receivers' room from last season, but the top two receivers are questionable. They also have to rebuild their offensive line. The Gator's defense will need to improve as they allowed 28.8 points and 415.8 total yards a game. The biggest question for the Utah Utes is whether or not quarterback Cameron Rising will be able to go in this one. As of this morning, it was a game-time decision. Last season he threw for 3,034 yards with 26 touchdowns and eight interceptions. If he can't go, the backup played well enough in the Rose Bowl last season when Rising got injured. They also have a very talented quarterback that will probably see some playing time. The defense last season allowed 20.4 points and 325.3 yards a game with just 107 yards coming on the ground. I wasn't a Graham Mertz fan when he was in Wisconsin and my opinion of him hasn't changed. His completion percentage has declined in each season and I don't see that getting better in the SEC. Utah does not have many changes on the offensive side of the ball which should help if Rising can't go. Utah has won the PAC-12 two years in a row and is one of the favorites this season. Going from Anthony Richardson to Mertz is a huge step-down, in my opinion. I think Utah will be able to control the ball on the ground. I am going with the Utes at home in this one. Play on Utah. | |||||||

Detroit’s Alex Faedo is 2-4 with a 4.91 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. The Tigers are just 29th in runs scored. Verlander will have something to prove when facing his old team.

The Braves and the Giants meet up in game two of their series with with the Braves taking game one. Atlanta has the best record in baseball while San Francisco has been battling for a wild card spot. The Braves have won eight of their last 10 games. The Braves will go with Max Fried on the mound. He is 4-1 this season with a 2.83 ERA this season. He has pitched well on the road, posting a 1.93 during road starts and an even better 1.66 ERA during day games. He is 2-0 with an ERA of 3.74 during four starts in the month of August. The Braves have won three of his last four starts. They are also 5-0 when he starts on the road.

He has an ERA of 2.05 during home games this season. When they go to the pen, they have the 10th-best ERA and have allowed the 11th fewest runs. The Giants are 7-3 this year when Walker has made the start. Using a bullpen game against the best offense in baseball doesn't seem like a wise strategy to me. Especially when facing a very good pitcher. I don't see the Giants scoring many runs in this game. Play on Atlanta. minus 1.5 runs This is a 2% play. | |||||||

Notre Dame does have the advantage of this being the first game of the season as they have had time to work on defending the option offense of Navy. I think Hatman will make a huge difference to the Irish offense and he makes them more dynamic. Navy is suspect in Pass defense and Hartman should be able to exploit it. Taking away their most recent meeting, Notre Dame has won by 20+ points in their last three matchups. Notre Dame has not scored less than 34 points against Navy in the last four years and that should improve in this one. Since ND has had time to practice defending the option, I like them to cover this one. Play on Notre Dame. This is a 2% play. | |||||||

The Mariners are averaging almost 2 runs a game more than the White Sox. The Sox have been very disappointing this season and are just going through the motions.

The Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals meet in an important series for the Phillies. They will open with Michael Lorenzen on the mound, while the Nationals will go with Joan Adon. The Phillies have a Wild Card spot and can't afford to lose games to a team like the Nationals. Michael Lorenzen is 2-0 since joining the Phillies with an anemic 1.06 ERA and 0.65 WHIP. He is coming off a no-hitter against this same National team. Washington is the second-worst team in the NL but is 6-4 in their last 10 games. Joan Adon is 1-0 and owns a 5.14 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in three starts and 5 appearances. Lorenzen was solid in Detroit but has been a better pitcher in Philadelphia. The Phillies are in a fight for the playoffs while the Nationals do not have a lot to play for. I like the Phillies to win this one big. Play on Philadelphia minus 1.5 runs. | |||||||

Civale is 5-3 with a 2.55 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. The Rays are the better team overall and enjoy an edge on the mound.

The Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers finish off their three-game set with the Rangers going for the sweep. The Sox will send Touki Toussaint to the mound to face off against newly acquired Max Scherzer. The Sox are winding down a disappointing season by trading away five pitchers and their second-best power-hitter at the deadline. Chicago is just 5-12 since the All-Star Break. Touki Toussaint is 1-3 this season with a 3.50 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in five starts and 9 appearances. The Sox are 24th in runs scored. The Rangers are in a battle with Houston for the AL West lead and both added a pitcher from the Mets for the stretch drive. The Rangers have taken the first two games from the Sox but are just 4-7 over their last 11. Scherzer is 9-4 this season with a 4.01 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. The Rangers are ranked first in runs scored and team batting average. Scherzer has not been overpowering this season but should have no problem against the Sox offense. Even if he does let up a couple of runs, the Rangers' offense should be able to tee off against Toussaint and the rest of the Sox staff. These are games the Rangers can't lose if they are going to take the AL West. Play on Texas minus 1.5 runs | |||||||

The Texas Rangers need a win and could be facing the right team to get one in the Chicago White Sox. Chicago has been a huge disappointment this season and has lost seven of their last nine games. The Rangers have also lost seven of their last nine games. The Chicago White Sox are 43-64 this season. Jesse Scholtens gets the call for the White Sox. He is 1-3 this season with a 3.32 ERA in two starts and 14 relief appearances. In his last start, he allowed three runs on 11 hits in four innings. The Texas Rangers are 60-46 this season and are in first place in the American League West Division. The Rangers will look to snap a three-game losing streak by sending Andrew Heaney to the mound. He is 7-6 this season with a 4.62 ERA. The Rangers are 11-9 when Heaney starts this season but are just 2-4 in his last six games. Both teams have struggled the last two weeks. Scholtens has started a bullpen game twice this season and has pitched mainly out of the pen. The Sox have traded away five pitchers already so they don't have a lot of quality depth on the mound. The Rangers have the best hitting percentage in the league and have scored the most runs in baseball. They should be able to score on a Sox team that has a 4.60 ERA. Play on Texas | |||||||

The Houston Astros take on the Cleveland Guardians in a three-game series. Both teams are only a game and a half back in their respective divisions. Noah Syndergaard will make his first start for Cleveland since coming over from the Dodgers. He posted a 1-4 record with LA with a 7.16 ERA and a 1.45 Whip in 12 starts. Houston will likely go with J.P. France. He is 6-3 with a 2.87 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. This is a play more against Syndergaard than anything else. He has struggled all season and will be facing a very good Astros offense. The Astros are better on both sides of the ball and Cleveland has found it difficult to score runs this season. Cleveland is 25-29 on the road this season. I like the Astros' offense against Syndergaard and I don't think it matters who the Astros start if it it not France. Play on Houston on the RL | |||||||

Over Blackburn's last three appearances (2 starts), he is 0-2 with a 10.03 ERA and a 2.14 WHIP in 11.2 innings. Neither pitcher has pitched well as of late so you have to look at the offenses to see who can take advantage of the bad pitching. The Astros are averaging 5.22 runs in their last 23 games while the A’s are scoring 3.5 runs in their last 24 games. If it comes down to the bullpens, the Astros have the advantage there also. The Astros rank seventh with a 3.70 reliever ERA while Oakland is last at 5.70. The Astros have outscored the A's 40-14 in the eight games.

Framber Valdez gets the start for the Astros while the A's will counter with JP Sears. Valdez has made 18 starts this season and has posted a nice 2.76 ERA. He the Athletics back in May and allowed just one run in six innings. As a team, the Astros have the third-lowest ERA in baseball. Sears has allowed three or fewer runs in nine of his last 11 outings and has a 3.99 ERA in 19 starts. Despite Sears's efforts, the A's have allowed the most runs in the Majors, and have the highest team WHIP. The Astros swept two series against the A's earlier this season and have won seven in a row against the Athletics. Sears has been the better pitcher over the last few starts but Valdez should be able to get right against an A's team that puts up under 4 runs a game. Houston will score some runs in this game if not off of Sears but off the A's pen. Take the Astros and lay the run and a half. Play on Houston -1.5 runs | |||||||

He has been outstanding over his last five, going 4-0 with a 2.28 ERA. He is 4-3 with a 4.12 ERA at home. Not only are the Braves the best team in baseball, their offense is arguably the best in baseball also. Kopech said he was tired before the break so maybe the rest will sort out his command issues. Morton has been a solid pitcher but has pitched really well over his last five starts. I don't have a lot of faith in the Sox in the second half and look for the Braves to come away with an easy win here. Play on Atlanta minus 1.5 runs | |||||||

The Nuggets took both games against the Heat during the regular season, winning by four and five points. The Nuggets could be a little rusty at the beginning of the game but on the bright side, they have been practicing in Denver so they should have the fresher legs late in the game. Denver was just 15-15 ATS this year against teams from the East, despite going 19-11 SU in those games overall.

Boston has won two straight and now the pressure is on the Heat at home in Game 6. The Celtics are looking to become the first-ever NBA team to come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-7 series. Gabe Vincent did not play in Game 5 and is questionable for Game 6. Miami has only lost one game at home in the playoffs. If Miami is going to win this series, Game 6 at home is their best way to go. Jimmy Butler did not score over 20 in back-to-back games, but I look for him to step up here and to see playoff Jimmy once again. Miami did not shoot well from deep in their two losses but I look for them to pick it up at home. This could come down to the last shot, So I am taking the points. Play on Miami. | |||||||

Seattle takes on Oakland in a battle of NL West teams. The A's will send J.P. Sears to the mound. He has posted a 4.99 ERA this season. The Mariners will send Logan Gilbert to the mound. Gilbert has posted a 3.81 ERA so far on the season. Oakland is just plain bad this season and there is no reason to believe that it will get better. The Als have scored just 2.4 runs per game over their last 10. Oakland has allowed nearly 100 more runs than any other team in baseball. Seattle has the better team on both the mound and at the plate. lay the run and a half on the Mariners. Play on Seattle minus 1.5 runs. | |||||||
05-20-23 | A's v. Astros -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -133 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
The Oakland Athletics are the worst team in baseball and will be facing one of the better teams the Houston Astros. The A's will send JP Sears to the mound. He is 0-3, with a 5.27 ERA while the Astros' Hunter Brown is 4-1, with a 3.43 ERA. There is a major difference in talent between the two teams. Houston has talent and the A's don't. Houston is fourth in the majors with a 3.15 reliever ERA while Oakland is last with a 6.62 bullpen ERA. The Astros have won six of the last seven games against the A's. The A's pitchers have an ERA above 8.50 on the road this season. Houston should easily cover the run-line in this one. Play on Houston -1.5 runs. | |||||||
05-20-23 | Brewers v. Rays -1.5 | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 6 h 41 m | Show | |
The Tampa Bay Rays opened a 10-game home stand with a 1-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. The win snapped a 2 game-losing streak for the Rays. The Brewers have lost nine of their last eleven on the road. The Rays are by far the best home team in the big leagues, sporting a dominating 20-3 home record. The Rays starter, Eflin has allowed three or fewer runs in five of his seven starts and the Rays have notched 6 wins in those starts. Eight of the Brewers' last nine losses have been by more than 2 runs. Play on Tampa Bay minus 1.5 runs. | |||||||
05-19-23 | Heat +9 v. Celtics | 111-105 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
Boston not only let Game 1 get away from them but also home-court advantage. They will look to bounce back in Game 2 against Miami. This postseason the has been when the home team loses game one they come back and win big in game two. You would have to expect that Miami won't be able to shoot 50% from deep again and you may see the Celtics make some changes to their lineup to chase Miami off the line early in the game so they can't get in a rhythm. I think Boston will win this game but just like in Game 1, I feel this is too many points. Miami doesn't get blown out and Boston has a habit of letting teams stick around. Take the points once again with the Heat. Play on the Heat | |||||||
05-10-23 | A's v. Yankees -1.5 | 3-11 | Win | 100 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
The Oakland Athletics are the worst team in baseball and you would think the City of Vegas could do better. New York has been battling injuries all season and even though they are three games above .500, they find themselves last in the AL East. They will be going for the sweep today against the lowly A's. The A's are 3-11 in their past 14 games and they are 19-44 record in their last 63 on the road. They got one of thier big boppers back in the lineup with the return of Judge. The A's just don't have a lot of major League talent on this roster and the sad part is the owner doesn't care. He is making money and looking to move to Vegas. The Yankees are 7-2 over their last 9 games against the A's. and are 14-3 in the last 17 played in the Big Apple. Play on the NY Yankees minus 1.5 runs | |||||||
05-08-23 | Golden Knights v. Oilers -1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
The Vegas Golden Knights lost home-ice advantage by dropping game two to the Edmonton Oilers. Vegaas did not have a chance in game 2 as they gave up four goals in the first period and could never recover. Edmonton won three of the four regular-season meetings between the two. During those four meetings, Edmonton scored four or more goals in the three wins against the Golden Kniand scored three goals in the loss. The Oilers scored four or more goals in each of the first two games of this series. The Oilers' defense came to play in Game 2 and held Vegas to one goal. With their defense playing that well and the way the offense is playing, they are hard to beat. Vegas needs to stay out of the box and even then I am not sure that will be enough. Edmonton did what they needed when on the road and I don't expect them to give it back tonight. Play on Edmonton minus 1.5 goals | |||||||
05-05-23 | Tigers +1.5 v. Cardinals | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
The Detroit Tigers have been a bit of a surprise so far this season while the Cards have gotten off to a very disappointing start to the season. This will be the first of a three-game interleague series. The Tigers will hand the ball to Matthew Boyd for the start. He is 1-2 this season with a 5.47 ERA. The Cards will go with Jordan Montgomery to face the Tigers. He is 2-4, with a 3.34 ERA. Detroit is 6-4 in its last 10 games against St. Louis. The Tigers have won three in a row. Detroit is averaging 3.52 runs a game. Detroit is giving up 4.86 runs a game. As a team, they have a 4.67 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. The Cardinals are struggling, having lost their last six games. St. Louis is averaging 4.13 runs per game and they are giving up 4.74 runs per game. As a team, they have a 4.52 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. The Tigers have won three two of their last three road games. They have scored 17 runs in their last three games. Montgomery has given up nine runs in two starts at home. The Cardinals have lost 5 of their last 6 home games. They have scored just eight runs in their last four games. The Tigers are 5-0 against National League teams thus far this season and are 7-1 in their last eight interleague matchups. it is hard to believe the Tigers are the better team at the moment but they are. I like the Tigers to win this one but I am taking the extra 1.5 runs. Play on Detroit +1.5 runs | |||||||
05-05-23 | Celtics v. 76ers +2.5 | 114-102 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
After stealing home court in Game One, the 76ers have to be disappointed in how they played in Embiid's return to the court. Philadelphia has four players averaging over 18 PPG in the postseason, but in Game Two nobody on the team scored over 16. in Game 2 no one on the roster scored more than 16 points. They return home for Game Three and should shoot a lot better in this game. Embiid should have a better game as he has a size advantage and should be able to dominate inside the paint. Against Brooklyn, Philadelphia won their home games by an average of 16 points. I don't expect a blowout but I do expect an easy win. Play on Philadelphia | |||||||
05-05-23 | Rockies +1.5 v. Mets | 0-1 | Win | 115 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
The Colorado Rockies head to the Big Apple to take on the slumping New York Mets. Colorado is coming off a sweep of the Brewers have a huge comeback last night. They will look to keep the momentum going by sending Antonio Senzatela to the mound for his first start of the season. He needs to improve on last season, which saw him go 3-7 with a 5.07 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 19 starts. The Mets had a disappointing road trip to the Moto City, losing all three games to the Tigers. Kodai Senga will look to turn things around for the Mets. He is 3-1 this season with a 4.15 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. With the way that New York is playing right now, I have a hard time looking at them as a huge favorite. I know the Rockies are not good but they did sweep the Brewers and the Mets just got swept by the Tigers. The Mets have lost nine of their last 11 games. I will take my chances with the Rockies. Play on Colorado +1.5 runs | |||||||
05-03-23 | 76ers +10.5 v. Celtics | 87-121 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 39 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia 76ers shocked a lot of people when they took game one without Joel Embiid in the lineup. With or without Embiid in the lineup, Boston can ill afford to lose this game and go down two games to zero. This line is set without Embiid in the lineup. I don't expect him to play but if e does this line will surely drop. Even if he doesn't play, Philadelphia has shown they can win without him. I doubt Harden will get 45 again but they do have other players that can step up and score if needed. Boston has played tight games in the playoffs and has gone just 2-2 on their home court. Boston has not been blowing people out in the playoffs and i expect them to keep this one within the number even without Embiid in the lineup. Play on Philadelphia. | |||||||
04-30-23 | Royals v. Twins -1.5 | 4-8 | Win | 102 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
The Kansas City Royals won a close game over the Minnesota Twins yesterday to improve their record to 7-21 on the season. The Twins dropped to 16-12 after the loss. The Royals will send Brady Singer to the mound to face off against Joe Ryan. Singer is 2-2 this season and has posted a 6.67 ERA in five starts. In his career against Minnesota, he is 2-5 with a 4.85 ERA and 1.55 WHIP. Sonny Gray is a perfect 3-0 this season with a 0.62 ERA. The Twins beat the Royals 12 times in 20 games played last season and they won eight of 11 at home. The Twins had scored at least six runs in five straight games until yesterday. Singer has given up 14 runs in his last three starts and has given up nine runs in his last three starts against the Twins. The Royals have scored seven runs in their last three games. Play on Minnesota minus 1.5 runs. | |||||||
04-24-23 | Rockies v. Guardians -1.5 | 6-0 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
The Guardians take on the Rockies in Game 1 of a three-game interleague set. Colorado comes into this game having lost eleven of their last 12 games while Cleveland has lost their last two series. Neither team's starting pitcher has had a strong start to the season as the Rockies starter Gomber has allowed 22 earned runs in 16.1 innings this season. The Indians Quantrill is coming off a nice outing last time out, going six shutout innings against the Tigers. If it goes to the bullpens, Cleveland has a huge advantage. The Rockies are 22nd in ERA and the Indians are ninth. I look for the Indians to score enough to get the win over the Rockies. Play on Cleveland minus 1.5 runs | |||||||

The Denver Nuggets will go for a sweep against the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday night. Denver has won five of six against the Timberwolves. Minnesota lacks the talent to come back in this series and I doubt they have what it takes to win this game and stay alive in the series. Denver has covered every game in this series and I don't see this game being any different. Play on Denver | |||||||
04-23-23 | A's v. Rangers -1.5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 35 m | Show | |
The Oakland Athletics have lived up to expectations this season of them being a bad baseball team. They come into this game with a 4-16 record and they must face Jacob deGrom. They will send Kyle Muller to the mound to face the Rangers. He was roughed up last time out giving up 6 runs in 4 innings to the Cubs. He is 0-1 this season with a 7.23 ERA. deGrom is 1-0 with a 3.48 ERA. He threw 4 hitless innings last time out. The Athletics are 27-61 overall in their last 88 games against teams above .500. Texas has a huge advantage on the mound in this one so take the Rangers minus 1.5 runs. Play on Texas on the run line. | |||||||
04-22-23 | A's v. Rangers -1.5 | 3-18 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
The Oakland Athletics and the Texas Rangers meet in the second game of a three-game set in an American League West battle. Texas is currently leading the division with a 12-7 record, and they have won seven of their last ten. Oakland is 4-16 this season. The A's have lost eight of their last ten. Texas has an advantage on the mound as Heaney has not given up an earned run in his last two starts and Oakland's starter has an ERA above 11.00. Texas is the better team and should be able to score multiple runs against the A's pitching staff. I don't have a lot of faith in the A's scoring off Heaney. Play on Texas on the run-line | |||||||
04-17-23 | Panthers v. Bruins -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 130 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
Boston and Florida each won two games against each other this season with both wins coming at home. Boston has looked like the best all-around team this season while defense and goaltending were less than stellar for the Panthers. Florida ranked 21st in goals against and 22nd in shots against per game. They will face a Boston offense that ranked second in goals and ninth in shots per game. The Panthers allow 3.32 goals a game while the Bruins allow just 2.12 goals per game. History is filled with historic teams not bringing home the gold. In the NHL President Cup winners have not fared well in the playoffs. Boston is just too strong and they scored 12 goals in two games at home against Florida. I look for more of the same in this one. Boston won the two games at home by more than 2 goals. Play on Boston minus 1.5 goals | |||||||

The New York Mets will be taking on the Oakland Athletics in the second game of a three-game set. Carlos Carrasco starts for the Mets, looking for his first win. He is 0-2 with an 11.42 ERA.He will face off against the A's Shintari Fujinami. He has had a rough start to the season. posting an 0-2 record with a 0-2, 17.55 ERA. Oakland has lost seven of its last eight games. The Athletics are overmatched not only at the plate but also on the mound. Fujinami has allowed 13 earned runs in less than seven innings. The Mets have won five of the last seven head-to-head meetings between these teams. Carrasco had a rough opener but pitched better in his second start. He should be able to find some success against a weak-hitting A's offense. Lay the run and a half on the Mets. Play on NY Mets minus 1.5 runs | |||||||

Do I think Brooklyn has a chance to win the series? NO! Do you they have a chance to steal a game? YES! And that chance is in game 1. The Nets had won six of eight going into the season finale against the Sixers. Philly has given their starters a lot of rest down the stretch, with another week off before playoffs start, so I would expect it may take a little time for Philadelphia to be firing on all cylinders. The Nets are 15-9 ATS as road underdogs and most of that has come since Durant and Irving left the team. They are 12-3 ATS when getting +5 or more; 6-2 ATS when getting +7.5 or more. Brooklyn will keep this one close in game one and could surprise the 76ers here. Tale the points with the Nets. Play on Brooklyn | |||||||
04-14-23 | Thunder +5.5 v. Wolves | 95-120 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
Minnesota should be kicking themselves for even being here in this game. They had the Lakers beaten, but struggles on the offensive end and just dumb playing cost them a win and places them in a must-win game. Minnesota went 3-1 against the Thunder but those games were all before mid-December. Minnesota will be without one starter for this game and who knows if or how much Gobert will play. Edwards did not look good against the Lakers and seemed to be dealing with a shoulder problem. Both teams did not shoot the ball well in their last games. I think this could be tight down the stretch so take the points in what should be a close game. Play on OKC | |||||||
04-14-23 | Avalanche -1.5 v. Predators | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
The Avalanche have something to play for as they are looking for the best record in the Central Division. The Avalanche put up 3.33 goals a game this season while allowing 2.73 goals. The Predators put up 2.70 goals a game. The Predators narrowly missed the postseason so even if they don't rest their star players they really have nothing to play for. Colorado has won nine of their last 11 games. They rank 11th in goals per game and eighth in shots per game. Colorado is 7-1-2 in their last 10 games against Nashville. Colorado will go out to get this one and take the division. Play on Colorado on the puck line. | |||||||
04-14-23 | Bulls +5.5 v. Heat | 91-102 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
The Bulls can kind find some matchup advantages with Lavine and DeRozan. Miami does not have elite wing defenders and their best wing defender, Jimmy Butler, will be needed on the offensive end. Patrick Beverly has added to the defensive end, not only in the starting lineup but by moving Caruso to the bench, they have defense on the second team to combat Miami's three-point shooting. The Miami Heat have been the worst team against the spread in the NBA this season. The Bulls swept the Heat this season, and none of the games were very close. Chicago was a little lucky in their comeback win against the Raptors, with Toronto missing 18 free throws. Miami didn't look good for the whole game against Atalanta. Chicago could win this game outright but take the points. Play on Chicago. | |||||||

The Avalanche have won five of their last six games and have scored 16 goals in their last four games. The Jets have nothing to play for, as they are locked into the 8th spot while the Avs are battling for the Division and the second seed. The Jets have won five of their last six games, but they’ve lost two of their last three road games. They have scored 11 goals in their last three games. Colorado is 8-2 in their last 10 against the Jets and the home team is 25-10 in the past 35. Play on Colorado minus 1.5 goals | |||||||
04-12-23 | Bulls v. Raptors -5.5 | 109-105 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
The Bulls have been an enigma all season. They win games they shouldn't against good teams and lose games they have no business losing to bad teams. The Bulls will face a lot of matchup problems in this game on both the offensive and defensive end. The Bulls find most of their offensive output comes from their top wing players in Lavine and DeRozan. They will not have an easy time getting their shots off as the Raptors have two elite wing defenders in Anunoby and Barnes. Their length and quickness will give Lavine and DeRozan problems. On the defensive end, the Bulls really don't have a matchup for Siakam, especially when they play with their small lineup. Since the arrival of Patrick Beverley, they have had a defender for Fred Vanfleet but the rest of the matchups favor the Raptors. The Raptors won the season series against Chicago and won the two games at home. Play on Toronto. | |||||||

The Oakland Athletics are 2-4 on the season and you could say they are struggling but is it really struggling when you are the A's? Ken Waldichuk gets the call for the A's against the Rays. He lost his first start against the Angels, allowing six runs on nine hits with four strikeouts in 5.2 innings. The Tampa Bay Rays are a perfect 6-0 to start the season. Zach Eflin will make the start for the Rays. He went five innings and allowed one run on three hits with five strikeouts against the Tigers in his first start for the Rays. The Athletics are on the road for the first time this season. Ken Waldichuk has a career 5.58 ERA in 40.1 career innings. All six of the Rays' wins this season have been by two runs or more.

The Giants couldn't pick a better team to open their home season than the Kansas City Royals. Kansas City comes in at 1-6 this season and will send Brad Keller to the mound. He is 0-1 this season with a 3.86 ERA. San Francisco evened their record at 3-3 after a 16-3 win over the White Sox. Alex Cobb makes the start for the Giants with a 0-0 record and a 2.45 ERA. The Giants' offense came alive against the Sox, putting up 31 runs with 38 hits in three games. The Royals were just the opposite against Toronto, being outscored 13-4 in three games. For the season. the Royals have scored just 17 runs in seven games. Cobb had an ERA under 3.00 at home last season. Keller, on the road, had an ERA close to six.

Toronto starting pitcher Kevin Gausman took the loss in the first game of the season. he allowed three unearned runs in the loss. Toronto hasn't found its power stroke yet but they have the second-best batting average and third-best on-base percentage. Kansas City is 29th in on-base percentage and slugging percentage and 30th in team batting average. The Blue Jays have the better pitcher on the mound and the better hitting team. I am taking the better team to come out on top. Play on Toronto minus 1.5 runs | |||||||

Washington let one get away yesterday and sits at 1-4 this season and is 1-4 against the run-line. The Nationals will send Patrick Corbin to the mound. He was awful last season, posting a 6.31 ERA and 1.70 WHIP. His first start of the season did not go much better. The Rays McClanahan held the Tigers scoreless over six innings in his first start. Tampa Bay's starting rotation has posted a 0.39 ERA. The Nationals were able to score runs yesterday but the Rays were throwing a bullpen game. the Nationals' bullpen showed they can't be trusted.

The NCAA Championship will pit the 5-seed from the South Region San Diego State Aztecs (32-6, 19-16-2 ATS) against the 4-seed from the West Region Connecticut Huskies. SDSU was 32-6 this season and 19-16-2 against the number. UConn finished at 30-8 record and 26-11-1 against the number. SDSU needed a buzzer-beater over FAU to reach the final while UConn took care of business once agains with an easy win over Miami. SDSU has a top-tier defense but its offense is limited. They have a lot of seniors on their team and are big and strong in the frontcourt but they do not have anyone that matches up well with UConn's big man Sonogo. The Aztecs are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss and 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight-up win. SDSU killed FAU on the offensive boards down the stretch but UConn has the size to negate that and actually had better-rebounding numbers. UConn has a lot of offensive weapons and can score in many different ways. The lack of offense will show in the one for SDSU. UConn rolls to another early win. Plau on UConn. | |||||||

UConn has been the most dominant team so far this tournament, destroying everyone put in front of them. What will happen if they are tested? Miami is a team that can test them. The Hurricanes are a guard-dominant team that can score from anywhere. Miami has knocked off a #1 and #2 seed so they are battle tested. Miami has scored 85 or more in their last three games. As dominant as UConn has been, they have only scored over 85 in one out of their last three. UConn has a size advantage but I am not sure they will be able to take advantage of it as their big man is not really a scorer. I feel UConn will have to play small to keep up with Miami's offense. Miami has a lot to like on the offensive end and I look for them to keep this one close if not win outright. Play on Miami | |||||||

During the tournament, FAU is 3-1 ATS and San Diego State 4-0 ATS. The Owls are averaging 4.8 points per game more than San Diego State in the tournament. SDSU is a bunch of grown men that play a very stout defense but doesn't have a lot of firepower or a go-to offensive weapon. FAU throws a bunch of guys at you and has a number of scorers.

The Padres were not good against Colorado overall last season, posting a 9-10 record but they were 6-3 at home against the Rockies. The Padres are stacked at the plate this season and should have no problems scoring runs. With Bogaerts, Soto, Machado, and Cronenworth, and not to forget, Tatis at some point, this lineup will score. The Padres outscored the Rockies 47-27 in San Diego last season. The Rockies did not do a lot in the offseason to either help thier starting nine or their woeful pitching staff. In addition, the Padres have won five of their last six Opening Day games. I lot of value in the run-line on Padres. Play on San Diego minus 1.5 runs | |||||||

Atlanta dominated the Nationals last year, winning 14 of the 19 games between the two. They took eight of ten in the National's park to add insult to injury. The Nationals are a very young team with not much to show on paper and will be sending out Patrick Corbin to the mound. He was terrible against everyone last season, especially against the Braves. He allowed 15 earned runs in 14.1 innings with a 0-3 record against Atlanta. All the Brave's wins last season except four were by 2 or more runs. Max Fried is the team's ace and should be able to handle an anemic Washington lineup. The Nationals have fallen far since their World Series win not that long ago. The Braves win this one easily. Play on Atlanta minus 1.5 runs. | |||||||
03-28-23 | Pelicans +8.5 v. Warriors | 109-120 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
New Orleans has covered the spread in five straight games. They are in the middle of the playoff race and every win counts down the stretch. The Pelicans should be able to keep this one close as they have the best 3-point defense in the NBA. They have faced the Warriors three times this season and the Warriors have shot just 30 percent from deep. Golden State has not covered the number in five of its last seven games. This will be the second game of a back-to-back for the Pelicans but I like their defense to keep it close. Play on the Pelicans. | |||||||
03-28-23 | Penguins -1.5 v. Red Wings | 4-7 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
Surprisingly, the Red Wings are making a late-season push for the playoffs. The Penguins are also looking to secure a playoff spot. The Penguins are averaging 3.21 goals a game and will be facing a Red Wings defense that is giving up 3.26 goals. The Red Wings have scored just 10 goals in the last six games. Pittsburgh is fourth with 34.5 shot attempts per game while Detroit is 27th with 28.8 shots a game. Detroit is going with their third-string goaltender, who has had a rough go at it. The Penguins have won six of the last eight games outright and I can see the Penguins scoring multiple goals in this one. I am making a value play and taking the Penuins on the puckline. Play on Pittsburgh minus 1.5 goals. | |||||||
03-27-23 | Bulls +5.5 v. Clippers | 112-124 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 26 m | Show | |
The LA Clippers and Chicago are two teams that are closing out the season in different directions. The Bulls have won seven of their last nine and are surging toward the playoffs, The Clippers were playing some good basketball but things have taken a turn after Paul George was injured. The Bulls have gone 4-1 ATS in its last five, and are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four road games. Chicago is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings between these teams and is 4-1 ATS in the five meetings between these teams in Los Angeles. Chicago is on the backend of a back-to-back but with George out and Leonard dealing with an injury, I like the Bulls' chances to win outright. Take the points and the Bulls Play on Chicago. | |||||||
03-27-23 | Pelicans -8.5 v. Blazers | 124-90 | Win | 100 | 15 h 55 m | Show | |
Portland is hit hard with injuries and they may be without Lilliard for the rest of the season as there is talk of shutting him down. I like the Pelicans in this one on a pure numbers basis. The Pelicans have won five of the last six games against Portland and are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. They are 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. Portland is 1-5 ATS in their last six games and has lost five straight games against the spread at home. Maybe more importantly the Trail Blazers have lost five of their last seven games by at least 14 points. Take the Pelicans in a rout. Play on New Orleans. | |||||||
03-27-23 | Mavs v. Pacers +1.5 | 127-104 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
Things are not going well in Dallas at the moment. The Doncic -Irving Experience has been a dud. Doncic may be out tonight due to a one-game suspension and they are on the second game of a back-to-back and facing a Red Hot Bulls team. Dallas is the 2nd-worst team in the NBA against the spread this season, covering less than 39% of the time. Indiana is trying for the last playoff spot and can't afford a loss to Dallas. Dallas has won two of their last nine games and four in a row. They do not play well on the road posting a 14-23 record away from Dallas. Indiana won earlier this season in Dallas with Doncic and Irving in the lineup. I like a hungry Pacers team at home against a struggling Mavs team. Play on Indiana | |||||||
03-26-23 | Bulls +3.5 v. Lakers | 118-108 | Win | 100 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
The Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five games and when coming off a . win they are 19-12-3 ATS. The Lakers will likely be missing James and Russell in the lineup. The Bulls could see the return of DeRozan to the lineup and I would expect him to have a big game coming home. Chicago needs this one as they are fighting for the playoffs. Play on Chicago | |||||||
03-26-23 | Avalanche -1.5 v. Coyotes | 4-3 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
The Avalanche are a far superior team and should win handily. This is a huge line, so I will be playing the puck line in this one. Colorado has scored the 14th-most goals in the NHL and the Avs' defense has allowed the seventh-fewest goals. The Coyotes have allowed the tenth-most goals in the NHL while scoring the fifth-fewest goals. The Avs easily won the last game and covered the puck line and I expect that to happen again today. Play on Colorado on the puckline. | |||||||
03-24-23 | Xavier +4.5 v. Texas | 71-83 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 6 m | Show | |
Xavier has played well as an underdog, posting a 4-1-1 ATS record as an underdog of 4.5 points or less this season. The Longhorns are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. Texas has an elite defense but Xavier will cause problems with their length on the defensive end. Xavier has an edge in coaching if this game gets close. If Texas can knock down their three they can easily win this game but I like Xavier to keep this one close and stay within the number. Play on Xavier. | |||||||
03-24-23 | Miami-FL +7.5 v. Houston | 89-75 | Win | 100 | 12 h 24 m | Show | |
The Hurricanes were 3-1 straight up versus ranked opponents this season and were 20-14 ATS for the season, 7-1 ATS record as underdogs. The Cougars went 1-1 versus ranked teams and 19-17 ATS. Miami is 5-1 ATS in their last six NCAA Tournament games and Houston is 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win. This should be a close game as Miami has both the offense and defense to keep this one close. Houston has struggled in games all season to cover the number and I am not convinced Sasser is at 100%. Miami keeps this one within the number. Play on Miami. | |||||||
03-24-23 | San Diego State v. Alabama -7.5 | 71-64 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 40 m | Show | |
This will be San Diego State's toughest game of the season as they face the overall No.1 seed in Alabama. San Diego State has relied on its defense all season but they have not faced a team as loaded on the offensive end. As good as SDU's defense is, you can argue Bama's defense is even better. San Diego State does not have offensive balance to score against Bama as Bradley is their only offensive threat. Bama has the advantage on the boards and should find plenty of second-chance opportunities. Alabama is 4-1 ATS in the last five games and 4-1 ATS in the last five games against teams with a .600 winning percentage or better. Bama's length will cause problems on the defensive end and they have too much firepower on the offensive end. Play on Bama | |||||||
03-23-23 | Thunder +3 v. Clippers | Top | 105-127 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 50 m | Show |
The Thunder will be going for their second win over the Clippers in LA in the last three days. Oklahoma City is 5-1 SU in their last six games against Los Angeles and they’ve covered the spread in seven of their last eight meetings. The Thunder have the league’s best record against the spread at 43-26-3. George was carried off the court in the last game and will not be playing in this one. The Thunder has won all three games this season. OKC has won eight of thier last 10 overall. The Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last six while Los Angeles is 0-5 ATS in their last five games when playing on one day’s rest. The George injury could be devastating for the Clippers. Take OKC in this one. Play on OKC |
