05-05-21 | Wizards +3.5 v. Bucks | 134-135 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
The Wizards are the last team in for the play in tourney in the East so it’s imperative that they keep winning. They have been playing like a legit playoff team after a slow start to the season, and the oddsmakers continue to undervalue this squad. They have won seven of 10 so they are in good form. They have covered in 14 of their last 17 games, so they are not being lined correctly. The Bucks come in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. They just had a doubleheader against Brooklyn, a team they will likely cross paths with in the playoffs. They probably won’t take this game as seriously. And the Bucks haven’t been blowing teams out of the water lately. We think the Wizards will be hyped to compete here and expect them to cover. |

05-05-21 | Braves -1.5 v. Nationals | 5-3 | Win | 134 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 955 ATLANTA -1.5, RL, Over NATIONALS Fried doesn't have the record to show it, yet, but he is one damn good pitcher. Fedde is good for the Nationals, too, but just a 5.00 ERA. The two don't belong in the same ballpark and after the Braves' performance, yesterday, look for them to build on it and score, even more, than they did yesterday. This seems almost too easy. |
|||||||
05-05-21 | White Sox v. Reds -1.5 | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 53 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 980 CINCINNATI REDS -1.5, RL, Over WHITE SOX Always hard to go against Dallas Keuchel, but Sonny Gray has been pitching well and after yesterday, the Reds offense has something to prove. Look for them to prove it, in a high scoring game, today! |
|||||||
05-04-21 | Raptors v. Clippers -9.5 | Top | 100-105 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
The Clippers are the healthiest they have been in awhile, and their two stars are expected to play tonight. They have lost three straight and they are desperate for a win right now. They have had two nights off to regroup and should be ready here. As of right now they are set to play the Lakers in the first round. They won’t say it, but they don’t want it. They will probably do their best to move up in the seeding, and they don’t have many chances to do it left. We think they give their best effort tonight and win this one by double digits. |
|||||||
05-04-21 | Blue Jays v. A's -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 165 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 926 OAKLAND -1.5, RL, +160 Over TORONTO (9:40pm, E, Tuesday, May 4th) Irvin's 3.67 ERA should be a sign that he's better than Kay's 10.80 ERA, but the oddsmakers aren't paying attention. We are. Take the A's at home to beat the Blue Jays, again. |
|||||||
05-04-21 | Rays v. Angels -1.5 | 8-3 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 924 LA ANGELS -1.5, RL, +165 (9:38pm E, Tuesday, May 4th) Mclanahan, for Tampa Bay, has a much better ERA, but don't let that fool you. Angels are as good a team and Cobb is a better pitcher. Look for the Angels to take the Rays, tonight. |
|||||||
05-04-21 | Warriors v. Pelicans -2 | 103-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
These teams played last night and the Warriors blew out the Pelicans. But it’s very hard to beat a team twice in two nights, especially on their home court. New Orleans is out of the playoff picture as things stand now. Every game is a playoff game for them if they wish to compete in the play-in tourney. Last night the Warriors jumped out to a big lead but New Orleans played with them all the rest of the game, and we expect a more complete performance from them tonight. |
|||||||
05-03-21 | Nuggets -3.5 v. Lakers | 89-93 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a battle of two Top 10 defenses and we expect a low-scoring game. But we think Denver will have the stronger motivation tonight when it comes to the ATS angle. These are possible first-round opponents in the postseason. The Lakers right now are trying to get AD and LeBron back into playing shape. All they care about is to be healthy and in a good headspace come playoffs. They don’t care much about this game. The Nuggets will want to prove something, we expect, and they should bring a lot of energy here. Denver is one of the hottest teams in the league right now and they are coming off a win against the Clippers that was very impressive. |
|||||||
05-03-21 | Indians -1.5 v. Royals | 8-6 | Win | 140 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 963 INDIANS -1.5, RL, Over ROYALS (8:10pm E, Monday, May 3rd) Indians are a MUCH better team than they've been showing (yes, they're really that good!). They have no holes in their offense, or defense. Civale, their starting pitcher isn't getting the credit he deserves. Take Indians to go into KC and win this 1st night of the series. If you haven't watched them, do. Every batter, except the pitcher, of course, is scary to the opposing team. |
|||||||
05-03-21 | Magic v. Pistons -1.5 | 119-112 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Orlando won last time out and they have won two of three. We just think they are satisfied and the Pistons, losers of two straight, will be the more motivated team here, especially at home. Both of these teams are dealing with long injury lists. But the Magic don’t handle success well and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five after an ATS win. The Pistons are also 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. We think the home team will show some motivation here in an easily winnable game. |
|||||||
05-03-21 | Brewers v. Phillies -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 952 PHILLIES -1.5, RL (7:05pm E, Monday, May 3rd) Philadelphia is coming off a heart-breaking Sunday night loss. They will come out ready to play tonight. Valasquez is in "prove myself" mode, as he takes the mound with an over 6 ERA. We expect the Phillies to redeem last night's loss and the Brewers to be worn out after the series with the Dodgers. The Brewers may come out flat and overconfident, which we expect. Let's pick up a big run-line game. |
|||||||
05-02-21 | Mets v. Phillies -1.5 | 8-7 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
5 Units: Take 914 PHILLIES -1.5, RL, +170 (7:08pm E, Sunday, May 2nd) New bad blood has been created between these two teams and the Phillies, Eflin, has gotten off to a good start, this year (almost a two run ERA difference, between he and Peterson. Look for a lot of a runs and don't be surprised if there's a bench clearing brawl, once or twice, in this one. This should be fun to watch. |
|||||||
05-02-21 | North Dakota v. James Madison -2.5 | Top | 21-34 | Win | 100 | 52 h 25 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #308958 James Madison Dukes over North Dakota Fighting Hawks (6p.m., Sunday, May 2 ESPN2) Just feel the Hawks are getting to much publicity in this game due to the conference that they played in. North Dakota State destroyed them on March 20, and they have not been able to play many games since then. James Madison is not flashy at the quarterback position and they are rock solid on defense and I just do not see them losing this game at home. The Dukes were upset when they were given a No. 3 seed in the FCS Playoffs and expect them to march onto the final four with a victory on Sunday at home. We will lay the small points and expect close to a double-digit win. |
|||||||
05-02-21 | Angels -1.5 v. Mariners | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 40 m | Show | |
5 Units: Take 927 LA ANGELS - 1.5, RL, +105 Over Mariners (4:10pm E, Sunday, May 2nd) The Mariners have surprised a lot of people, this year, but the Angels, with a better pitching matchup and a good mix of hitters and sluggers, should take this one, easily. |
|||||||
05-01-21 | Astros -1.5 v. Rays | 3-1 | Win | 150 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 973 HOUSTON ASTROS -1.5, RL,Over TAMPA BAY (4:10pm, E, Saturday, May 1st) Yesterday, Houston showed what they're capable of, on both offense and defense, winning 9-2 in Tampa. We think they'll ride that high and have another strong showing, today. Their offensive numbers are about as high as any team's, and one of their stars, Jose Altuve, hasn't started to hit, yet. Houston, after breaking a 3-game road losing streak, yesterday, should outslug the Rays, today. |
|||||||
05-01-21 | Royals v. Twins -1.5 | 11-3 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 56 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 968 MINNESOTA TWINS -1,5, RL,Over KC ROYALS (2:10pm E, Saturday, May 1st) Royals are a good team and Duffy is a very good pitcher, but the Twins are the 3rd best slugging team in the American League and they've not lived up to their expectations, yet. We think today is another big slugging day, for them. At home, 80 degrees, and wind blowing out to left centerfield. The ball will carry and we're giving a big nod to the home team sluggers. |
|||||||
05-01-21 | Leeds United +0.5 v. Brighton & Hove Albion | 0-2 | Loss | -130 | 23 h 28 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Competition: EPL. Take Leeds United +0.5 (-130) over Brighton (Saturday at 10am) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Leeds must win or draw. As per your selection on Leeds to get at least a draw in this contest, we have been fading Brighton for a while now and we see no path to victory for them given how big of a slump they are currently in. Brighton has gone four straight without a win and has just 2 wins in their last 10 games. They are not scoring goals and can't keep the ball out of the back of their net either. Leeds, has been on a solid run of form of late, unbeaten in six games which includes a win vs Man City, and three draws vs Liverpool, Man United, and Chelsea. They have shown us at times this season that they can play some quality football and we believe their attacking prowess will be enough to get past Brighton and secure at least a point in this contest. |
|||||||
04-30-21 | Spurs v. Celtics -4.5 | 140-143 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
The Celtics have had players in and out of the lineup all season, so it has been hard to get a read on this team. They should be pretty healthy tonight with the exception of Walker. We think this team is ready to make a move approaching the playoffs. We had this line at 6.5 with a lean to the Celtics at that number, and we think they are a bit undervalued tonight. We expect a comfortable 7+-point win. |
|||||||
04-30-21 | Marlins -1.5 v. Nationals | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
4-Units: Take 905 MIAMI -1.5, RL Over WASHINGTON (7:05pm E, Friday, April 30th) Miami's offense has been great and Pablo Lopez, except for the game against the Braves has been really solid. Look for that tonight in Washington and watch the Marlins bats explode! |
|||||||
04-29-21 | Nets -8 v. Pacers | 130-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
The Nets have been a bad bet all season. But they seem to be coming together as we head towards the postseason. They have won and covered three straight. That includes wins over Boston and Phoenix, so they haven’t played creampuffs. The Pacers are banged up and they are coming off a home blowout to Portland. They face a big step up in competition here against one of the NBA title favorites. We think the Nets have a great chance for a double digit win. |
|||||||
04-29-21 | A's -1.5 v. Rays | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
5-Units: 961 OAKLAND -1.5, RL OVER TAMPA BAY (1:10pm E, Thursday, April 29th) Oakland felt embarrassed last night and the Rays rubbed it in a bit. The Sluggin' A's will get revenge today with Bassitt on the mound and we think will take Mcclanahan deep 5+ times. Oakland gets their revenge. This is not the same Oakland team we're used to - this is what they wanted the MoneyBall team to be. |
|||||||
04-29-21 | Yankees -1.5 v. Orioles | 3-4 | Loss | -108 | 2 h 33 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 959 NY YANKEES -1.5, RL (1:05pm E, Thursday, April 29th) Okay, they Yanks have convinced us that they're back. With the wind blowing out at over 10 mph we expect an explosion of runs from them today. Montgomery had a so-so game, his last game out but he should out-pitch Lopez, easily. |
|||||||
04-28-21 | Jazz v. Kings +8.5 | 154-105 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
The Jazz are coming off two straight losses to the Timberwolves. We could forgive one loss. But two straight tells us this team is not playing well right now. Sacramento has won two of three and they are playing well right now. They have covered their last four games as a listed underdog. We just expect a close game here and we think this spread is inflated a bit since the Jazz are a much more popular team with bettors. |
|||||||
04-28-21 | Hornets v. Celtics -6 | 111-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Boston could have all their best players back here and the Hornets will be missing top players tonight. Boston has not been playing great as they have lost three straight, including a blowout to these Hornets. That sets up a solid revenge scenario and we think a healthy Boston team is in a good shape to get it tonight. Boston is 7-1-0 ATS in the last eight meetings at home. Both teams are on a back-to-back but Boston is at home for both games, so that’s a distinct advantage. |
|||||||
04-28-21 | Marlins -1.5 v. Brewers | 6-2 | Win | 144 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 901 MIAMI -1.5, RL, OVER MILWAUKEE (1:40pm E, Wednesday, April 28th) Alacantara has really been showing some good stuff and we definitely like the matchup against the Brewers. Look for a low scoring game, but Miami should score most of the runs. Milwaukee will need a brew after this one. |
|||||||
04-27-21 | Thunder v. Celtics -11 | Top | 119-115 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 27 m | Show |
Boston is coming in off two straight losses, so this is a “get right” game for them. And they are playing just the right team to get back on track against. The Thunder have a rag tag group of players competing right now. They have been just god awful on defense as they have given up 119 or more in four straight games. We think Boston will put up a monster number on offense here and they should have no problem covering this big number. The Celtics are resting a couple key players, but that is why we are getting a value number here on Tuesday. |
|||||||
04-26-21 | Jazz -9.5 v. Wolves | Top | 104-105 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
When you are one of the best teams in the NBA and you lose to the Wolves, you know you had an off game. That’s what happened to the Jazz on Saturday as they played very poorly at home and lost straight up. Now this is a quick turnaround rematch, and we just don’t see anything other than the Jazz brining their A Game. Utah is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings here in Minnesota. This is a team that can beat bad opponents by double digits without breaking a sweat. We think that loss on Saturday is a wake up call for Utah and they will put their best foot forward tonight. |
|||||||
04-26-21 | Clippers -1.5 v. Pelicans | 103-120 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
The Clippers have shown this season that they can put the players they have available to them on the court and have great success. They have been one of the best ATS bets in the NBA because of their depth and they have great chemistry together. They have missing players tonight, like always, but this team seems very dialed in right now and they seem intent on getting a high seed for the postseason. They are well rested and going up against a Pelicans team that hasn’t been playing their best lately. |
|||||||
04-26-21 | Lakers v. Magic +10.5 | 114-103 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
It’s tough to take a flyer on the Magic with the way they have been playing recently, but we don’t think the Lakers should be heavy favorites like this on the road against anyone. This team has lost four of five and covered in only one of those games. They are dealing with injuries and they are working Anthony Davis back into the mix with limited minutes. They take the best shot from opponents on a nightly basis. Orlando needs a competitive game and they should be hyped up for this one. They have covered in six of the last seven meetings with the Lakers. |
|||||||
04-25-21 | Grizzlies v. Blazers -4 | 120-113 | Loss | -108 | 4 h 12 m | Show | |
These teams played Friday and the Grizzlies won a close one. When teams play in consecutive games like this you have to take a serious look at the team that lost the last matchup. The Blazers were playing their third game in four nights during that matchup and we think they will be more fresh after being off Saturday. |
|||||||
04-24-21 | Angels v. Astros -1.5 | 2-16 | Win | 140 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 920 HOUSTON ASTROS -1.5, RL, Over LA ANGELS (4:10pm E, Saturday, April 24th) Houston is in dire need of a win and where better than at home? Both starting pitchers have struggled this year, so it'll, most likely, come down to the bullpens. Astros are a much better team than they've been showing. Look for them to get back in orbit, today, with a much needed, big win! |
|||||||
04-24-21 | Southern Illinois +4.5 v. Weber State | Top | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 28 h 42 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #308919 Southern Illinois Salukis over Weber State Wildcats (4p.m., Saturday, April 24 ESPNU) The Wildcats were a top 5 team going into the spring season, went undefeated and yet are only around a 4-point favorite against a 5-3 team. How is that possible? That is because they have not looked that impressive against fledging team that did not make the playoffs. Their last 4 wins have come by a combined 18 points and Southern Illinois is the strongest team that they will have faced in the spring season. Southern Illinois has wins over Northern Iowa and North Dakota State this season and played in the highly competitive Missouri Valley Conference. Weber State is just playing with fire each and every week and that will bite them on Saturday. Southern Illinois wins this game straight-up and getting points is just icing on the cake. |
|||||||
04-23-21 | Grizzlies v. Blazers -3 | 130-128 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
Portland has won three of the last four meetings. They have lost three straight but they have had a really tough schedule. We think they are the better team here and we expect them to bring their A Game to stop the losing streak. This line seems more than fair for the home team as we had this one handicapped at 5, with a lean to Portland at that number. We think the Blazers pull away in the fourth for a comfortable win. |
|||||||
04-23-21 | Yankees -1.5 v. Indians | 5-3 | Win | 110 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
6-Units: Take 969 NY YANKEES -1.5, RL, OVER CLEVELAND (7:10pm E, Friday, April 23rd) Yesterday is ALL they Yankees needed to get them kickstarted, this season. You're going to see a different offensive team, now, and with Montgomery on the mound against Allen, look for a streak to begin. |
|||||||
04-22-21 | Marlins v. Giants -1.5 | 0-3 | Win | 140 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 906 SF GIANTS -1.5, RL Over MIAMI (9:45 pm E, Thursday, April 22nd) Both teams are traveling, but SF is traveling home and can't WAIT to avenge yesterday's loss against the Phillies. Miami won yesterday, so won't have quite the urgency and will be a bit tired, so take Sanchez, at home, over Castano to win this one going away. Best of luck! |
|||||||
04-22-21 | Pistons +9 v. Spurs | 91-106 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
The Pistons are 25-10-1 ATS when getting five or more points this season. They covered last night as a big underdog (barely) and we don’t think a back-to-back will affect this team all too much as they are young. They play hard every night, and last night was an indication they play to the final buzzer. The Spurs aren’t a very good team this season and we just don’t think the big spread is justified here. The Pistons hung with the Mavs last night and now they take a big step down in talent level. |
|||||||
04-22-21 | Pelicans v. Magic +9 | 135-100 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
The Pelicans have lost four straight and haven’t covered in any of those games. They have been horrible on the road this season and have one less win on the road than the sorry Magic have at home. We just think this is a very public number for what should be a close game and a winnable one for the home team. The Pelicans are 10-20 ATS when laying points this season and 1-6 ATS when laying 7.5 or more. This has been one of the worst bets in the NBA this season. New Orleans hasn’t covered in any of the last five meetings. |
|||||||
04-22-21 | 76ers v. Bucks -8 | 117-124 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
We think this ECF possible preview will have some defensive and playoff intensity. It could also be a blowout, which would bode well for the under in our opinion. The Sixers are coming in on a back-to-back after a grueling game against the Suns last night. This will be their third game in four nights. The Bucks have been off for two nights. At this point in the season rest is so crucial, and the better team has the huge rest advantage here. We see the Sixers really struggling on offense here tonight. |
|||||||
04-21-21 | Wolves v. Kings -4.5 | 125-128 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
We like to go with the losing team when these teams play back-to-back matchups. It’s hard to beat the same team twice on consecutive nights, and especially when the losing team is at home. Minnesota hasn’t won back-to-back games since way back at the beginning of the season in December. The Kings were kind of embarrassed last night as it was a close game and then the Wolves dominated late. We think they will play better here tonight in the rematch. |
|||||||
04-21-21 | Pistons +10.5 v. Mavs | 117-127 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
The Pistons have been a great underdog play this season. They are 24-10-1 ATS when getting five or more points. This is a bad team but a young one that plays hard every night. The average bettors isn’t going to go anywhere near them, but they have shown value all season long in the underdog role, and Dallas is just 6-10 ATS when laying more than five points, so they haven’t been a profitable favorite. Also, should Dallas be laying this many points when they have lost four of five, and the one win was that miracle shot at the buzzer vs. Memphis? |
|||||||
04-21-21 | Bulls -2.5 v. Cavs | 105-121 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
These teams have similar records, but the Bulls are a way better ATS team. They are coming off a big win over Boston that should really help with the confidence of this young team. This team can be streaky, and we think that win may springboard them to some short-term success. The Bulls are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a road favorite. They are 15-6 ATS in the last 21 meetings in this series. The Bulls seem like the more motivated and confident team here tonight. |
|||||||
04-21-21 | Braves v. Yankees -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 976 NY YANKEES -1.5, RL, OVER BRAVES (6:35pm E, Wednesday, April 21st) We think the 2-run win, yesterday, over the Atlanta was just what the Yankees needed to kickstart their bats. They've been awful, so far, but look for them to break out tonight and enjoy an easy win, at home, with Kluber on the mound. |
|||||||
04-20-21 | Wolves v. Kings -3 | Top | 134-120 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
The Kings have not been good lately, but they are still better than the Wolves. They are coming off a big win at Dallas, and this is a chance to start a rare winning streak. We think they will be up to the task. The Kings have been a disappointment, but they have had a much better season than Minnesota. The Wolves don’t play well on the road against bad teams as they are 0-4 ATS in their last four in this situation. This is also a revenge game as the Kings lost in Minnesota earlier this month. |
|||||||
04-20-21 | Clippers -7 v. Blazers | 113-112 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
The Clippers are getting healthy and should have their best two players back for this matchup, LA is one of the best ATS teams in the league. They win and cover games like this. Portland is once again banged up, and we think they could face a buzzsaw tonight. LA is 4-0-1 ATS in their last five road games and they have been getting the job done away from home. LA has covered in all of the last five meetings. |
|||||||
04-20-21 | Hornets v. Knicks -5.5 | 97-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
Have to go with the hot Knicks here. New York has won six straight and they have covered in nine straight games. The number here has not been adjusted enough, in our opinion, as this team is seemingly flying under the radar right now. Charlotte is coming off a big win against Portland, but this team has been inconsistent and has lost four of five overall. We will go with the momentum here against what we feel is a short line. |
|||||||
04-20-21 | Cardinals v. Nationals -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
4u: Take 904 WASHINGTON NATIONALS -1.5, RL, Over STL CARDINALS (7:05pm E, Tuesday, April 20th) The Nats were embarrased on their home turf, yesterday. Today, they have Corbin going against Wainwright, a pitcher they have seen a ton of times. If Wainwright is on, he's tough to beat, but lately he hasn't shown the consistency of his youth. Look for Washington to jump on him early and often and have their own night to gloat. |
|||||||
04-20-21 | Braves v. Yankees -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 163 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
4u: Take 924 NY YANKEES -1.5, RL, Over Braves (6:35pm E, Tuesday, April 20th) The Yankees havea had a hard time hitting, this year, but we expect them to break out against Charlie Morton. Yanks have a great scouting crew and Morton's been around a long time, with the same stuff. Look for him to have a hard time getting through 5 innings, if he can. We like the Yanks big, here. |
|||||||
04-19-21 | Brewers v. Padres -1.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 956 SAN DIEGO PADRES -1.5, RL Over BREWERS (10:10pm E, Monday, April 19th) The Padres are playing excellent ball, right now - they are, simply, one of the toughest MLB teams to beat and especially at home. If there's any scoring done tonight, it'll be by the Padres, as Joe Musgrove (starting pitcher for the Pads) steps on the mound with a .47 ERA (yep, you read it right) AND a no-hitter already under his belt, this year. If you like scoring, there probably won't be a lot of it, but if you like the Padres, tonight, open some wine - it should be a very nice evening. |

04-19-21 | Rays v. Royals -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 960 KANSAS CITY ROYALS -1.5, RL Over TB RAYS (8:10pm E, Monday, April 19th) The Royals won a low scoring game, yesterday, but left 8 runners on, in the first 3-innings. That is, many times, a killer and one that ends up costing a team the game, but they hung in there for a hard-fought 2-0 win. Now, in to town, comes Tampa Bay, a team that everyone wants to beat, this year. The Royals proved yesterday that they have the guts and patience to beat anyone and will start Danny Duffy with a .75 ERA. If there are runs scored tonight, it'll be by KC, as that's about the best defense, all the way around, that a major league team can put on a field. This game should be a little easier than yesterday's. |
|||||||
04-19-21 | Bulls v. Celtics -6 | Top | 102-96 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
Boston has some players questionable for Monday and this line could move if some of those players were given the green light. We won’t be scared off by the line movement in that event. We think Boston has a great chance to win this one by double digits. This team has never been about individual players. They play great team basketball, and when they are playing well the system works even with some parts missing. The Bulls will be without LaVine again, and that hurts as he is one of their best players and this team isn’t deep. They snapped a five-game losing streak last time out with a win over Cleveland, but that’s nothing to write home about. That was their only cover in the last six games. Boston is playing their best basketball of the season and they have done it against a really difficult schedule. We don’t think they will overlook this opponent since every win matters after their slow start. When this team is playing well they have been one of the best ATS teams the past several years. This boils down to great coaching. Boston is 12-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings and we expect them to get a very easy win tonight. And don’t forget, even though the Bulls were off last night, this is their third game in four nights as they had a B2B in that Cleveland game. |
|||||||
04-19-21 | Cardinals -1.5 v. Nationals | 12-5 | Win | 148 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 951 STL CARDINALS -1.5, RL Over NATIONALS (7:05pm E, Monday, April 19th) The Cardinals are starting to find their way, as both the offense and solid defense seems to be back. When both of them are back, they're one of the hardest teams to beat in MLB. Add consistent Jack Flaherty to that equation and it makes for a tough night's work. Cards should handle this on, easily. |
|||||||
04-18-21 | Astros -1.5 v. Mariners | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 30 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 927 HOUSTON ASTROS -1.5, RL, +130 Over Seattle Mariners (4:10pm, E, Sunday, April 18th) Another game that should be just the opposite of yesterday's. Flexen kept the Astros' bats quiet, as Greinke got the win, 1-0. Houston is too good to keep down two days in a row and with Odorizzi on the mound, look for them to wallop the Mariners, with a big number. We like a Houston blowout, here. |
|||||||
04-17-21 | Warriors v. Celtics -4.5 | 114-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
The Celtics are back! They have won five straight and the slow start to the season is seemingly in the rearview mirror. This line to us says that the bookies don’t believe in Boston, but we do. Golden State has won four straight. But they aren’t “back,” they are just hot right now. When playing well the Celtics are one of the best teams in the NBA. Can’t say that about the Warriors with the current lineup. And they have had a very easy schedule lately while the Celtics have won three difficult road games in a row. Boston always plays well in this series (9-3-1 ATS in last 13), and we expect them to get a comfortable win here tonight. |
|||||||
04-17-21 | Pistons v. Wizards -4.5 | 100-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
These teams have a similar record, but the Wizards are a much better team. Detroit has been overachieving, while the Wizards got off to a real slow start because of injuries and team chemistry. Detroit is probably a bit fresher tonight with both teams coming in on a B2B. They rested a few players on the first end of a B2B. But because they rested those players, we think management sent a clear message of tanking, and we don’t think the Pistons will be too motivated here. Washington has been playing very well lately, and we don’t think they will pass up the opportunity for what should be an easy win. |
|||||||
04-17-21 | Richmond +12 v. James Madison | Top | 6-23 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 51 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #308995 Richmond Spiders over James Madison Dukes (2p.m., Saturday, April 17 Flo Football) The two best teams in the CAA are finally set to do battle Saturday in Harrisonburg, VA. Both teams have had the last two weeks off and both teams are undefeated in 2021. I just do not see a blowout in this game since it means more to Richmond with regards to making the FCS Playoffs. Both teams are strong on offense scoring over 30 points per game and I just do not believe the Dukes will be able to completely shutdown Joe Mancuso and company. This is the toughest opponent James Madison will have played in 2021 and while I see them winning, I expect a battle for 60 minutes. Grab the points in this battle of unbeaten teams. |
|||||||
04-16-21 | Cardinals v. Phillies -1.5 | 2-9 | Win | 145 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
5-Units: Take 906 PHILLIES -1.5, RL Over STL CARDINALS (7:05pm E, Friday April 16th) The Phillies are coming off of two series where they've been swinging very hot bats. They have as good of an offensive squad as they've had in years. On the other hand, the Cardinals are having trouble getting runs across the plate. They will open up, but let's catch them before they do. We see a pretty lopsided game, here. |
|||||||
04-15-21 | Celtics -6 v. Lakers | Top | 121-113 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
The Lakers are a bit of “fool’s gold” here as they have won four of seven but those wins were over Charlotte, Toronto, Sacramento and Brooklyn. Only one real quality win among those teams, and Brooklyn is a “work in progress” right now as this team is tinkering with a lot trying to have chemistry and stability once the playoffs start next month. And even the Lakers called that game the best win of the season. The Celtics have won six of seven. They DO have some quality wins there as they won in Portland and Denver in their last two. They also beat the Knicks, who are playing well now. This team is pretty healthy and has shrugged of their slow start. And this team has been one of the safest bets in the NBA the last few years as they normally have a great ATS mark. We think they hold the Lakers to a real low point total tonight. |
|||||||
04-14-21 | Pacers -4.5 v. Rockets | 132-124 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
The Pacers have been playing well. They lost a tough one to the Clippers last night and enter on a back-to-back. They had won their previous three games. They actually played really well last night but the Clippers brought their A Game. But they drop way down in talent tonight against the Rockets, and this should be an easy win for the road team. The Pacers have been really good on offense lately and we think they will be able to put up enough points to win this comfortably tonight. |
|||||||
04-14-21 | Magic +9.5 v. Bulls | Top | 115-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
The Magic have been playing like dog poop lately, to be blunt. But there’s no way the Bulls should be laying this many points to any team. This is the most points the Bulls have given up all season. They have lost three straight games. They are back at home after a long road trip and have been on the road mostly for several weeks. This first game home is often tricky for the home team as the players have personal business to attend to and their minds might not be in the game. Orlando is 4-1 ATS in their last five as a road underdog. They are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games against a team with a winning percentage less than .400. |
|||||||
04-14-21 | Clippers v. Pistons +8 | 100-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
We think revenge is an overrated handicapping angle, but we do think it applies in certain instances. When the previous game was a blowout (embarrassing) or if the game was recent. The game against the Clippers at Staples Center was the last game for Detroit. They hung with LA and easily covered the spread. They were in position for the win most of the game. Now they are at home and facing a Clippers team on a back-to-back and missing a couple key players. The Pistons are 8-1 ATS in their last nine against teams with a winning percentage above .600. They get up for big games, and we expect a close game tonight. |
|||||||
04-14-21 | Reds -1.5 v. Giants | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 19 m | Show | |
4-Units: 905 CINCINNATI REDS -1.5 RL Over GIANTS (3:45pm E, Wednesday, April 14th) Giants have been playing well - actually, a little over their heads. Cincinnati has a REAL ball team, this year and are going to be hard for anyone to beat. They also know Cueto, well, and should knock him out fairly early - something most teams won't be able to do. Look for the Reds to take this one fairly easily. |
|||||||
04-13-21 | Thunder +17.5 v. Jazz | 96-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
The Thunder are coming off a string of blowout losses and playing with a rag-tag group of young players. But we think this is a good spot for them to be competitive. The Jazz are coming in on a back-to-back. They lost to the Wizards at home last night and didn’t look great in doing so. The Thunder have had two nights off so they have a huge rest advantage. The Thunder have covered in all of their last five games in Utah. With this big of a spread, even with a blowout we can still cash this ticket. |
|||||||
04-13-21 | Clippers v. Pacers +3 | Top | 126-115 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
The Pacers have won three straight. They are playing really good basketball right now and shooting the ball extremely well. They have shot the ball better than 50% in two of their last three games. The Pacers got off to a slow start to the season and they are in No. 9 place in the Eastern Conference playoff race. They need to keep winning to avoid dropping out of play-in contention. The Clippers have been playing well. This seems like the type of game where they may slip up, however. They have been at home for a long time. This is their first road game since March 25. They are without three key players tonight in Kawhi, Pat Bev and Ibaka. The public is all over the Clippers in this one and we think the bookies have set the number to make LA appealing. We expect a high scoring game here and we think the Pacers have a great chance to win outright. |
|||||||
04-12-21 | Nuggets -4.5 v. Warriors | 107-116 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
The Warriors have not done well in the underdog role as they have covered only one of their last eight games as a listed underdog. We think they are in over their heads in this one also. Denver is coming in on a back-to-back, and they lost in embarrassing fashion on Sunday to the Celtics. That game was early, so we think there is significant time for rest. They completely fell apart late in that game and they will want to rebound here. We think they bring their A Game in a very winnable game. The Nuggets have rebounded well after recent losses as they have covered in all four games after a straight up loss. |
|||||||
04-12-21 | Nationals v. Cardinals -1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: 910 STL CARDINALS -1.5, RL Over WASHINGTON (7:45pm E, Monday, April 12th) The Cardinals were embarrassed, yesterday, as were we for taking them. Their bats are much better than what they showed, and Ponce de Leon let the game get away too early. Look for Gant to keep things in check and give STL a solid victory, which they desperately need. Molina and Arenado are hot - look for a LOT of runs from them, tonight. |
|||||||
04-11-21 | Raptors v. Knicks -3 | 96-102 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
New York has been a covering machine lately as they have covered four straight. They were off yesterday while the Raptors played. Toronto got the cover on Saturday, but that was just their second cover in nine games. They are one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA this season and the Knicks one of the best. New York is getting it done on the strength of their No. 1 defense. The Knicks have thrived in this situation as a home favorite as they are 8-1 ATS in their last nine in this role. |
|||||||
04-11-21 | Bulls -4 v. Wolves | 117-121 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
The Bulls are quietly playing well. They have covered in five of their last six games. Both these teams aren’t very good. But Chicago seems to have a bright future while the Wolves seem to be going nowhere fast. Despite some very favorable lines, the Wolves have one of the worst ATS marks in the NBA. This line looks short to us. The Bulls are around .500 on the road this season so they play well away from home. They are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games against a team with a losing home record, so they play well against the teams they should. |
|||||||
04-11-21 | Pelicans -6.5 v. Cavs | 116-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
The Cavs are on a back-to-back here. They didn’t look good yesterday in getting spanked by Toronto by 20 points. The Raptors had been struggling before that game. The Pelicans have been inconsistent but this looks like an easy win for them. They were off Saturday, so they have the rest advantage. They are coming off a confidence-inspiring win against Philly. They have also covered in four of the last five meetings in this series. We think the rested team takes advantage of the situation for a comfortable win. |
|||||||
04-11-21 | Brewers v. Cardinals -1.5 | 9-3 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play: STL CARDINALS -1.5, RL OVER BREWERS (2:15pm E, Sunday, April 11th) Brent Anderson just hasn't shown much for Milwaukee and is simply not reliable. On the other hand, Ponce de Leon has been steady. Cardinals were frustrated with yesterday's loss and, like most teams, HATE to lose at home, especially on a Sunday. With Arenado on the squad, now, they have some very potent bats. Look for a big win, today! |
|||||||
04-10-21 | Wizards +12 v. Suns | 106-134 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Seven of the last nine games for Washington have gone under the posted total. They are playing better defense, and their offense hasn’t been consistent. They face a Top 5 defense tonight in the Suns. We think this could be a letdown spot for Phoenix here as they are coming off huge games with WC playoff implications against the Jazz and Clippers. We don’t see them playing with their usual gusto here. And we think the Wizards will be competitive as they have covered every game on this road trip. |
|||||||
04-10-21 | Lakers +11 v. Nets | 126-101 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
The Lakers have covered in three of four and this team is underrated by the oddsmakers right now. They are highly motivated as their playoff hopes are slipping as they lose and fall down the standings. They need to compete until their stars are back. And this team assembled a roster with more depth than last season. The Nets are 7-21 ATS as a favorite of five or more this season, so they normally play down to the level of their competition. |
|||||||
04-09-21 | Rockets +13.5 v. Clippers | Top | 109-126 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 24 m | Show |
This is a bad spot for the Clippers, who are coming in on a back-to-back after facing the Suns on Thursday. They have faced a who’s who of teams that will be in the WCF in recent games: Phoenix, Portland, LA Lakers and Denver. Throw in a recent game against potential Finals opponent Milwaukee, and we don’t think this Houston team is going to move the meter for the Clippers. They probably won’t have the energy to give 100% here even if they were inclined to, which we don’t think they will be. And who know who will take the court for LA as they often have a scratch in back-to-backs. Houston was off on Thursday. They have been playing much better lately and are coming off a win over Dallas and an easy cover against Phoenix. They are 3-0 ATS when getting this range of points as an underdog and 5-0 ATS on the road against above-.500 opponents. |
|||||||
04-09-21 | Wolves v. Celtics -8.5 | 136-145 | Win | 100 | 25 h 54 m | Show | |
Boston has been playing well lately and they have won three of four overall. They have been particularly good when a big favorite as they are 3-0 ATS in their last three when laying six or more points. That means they are taking care of business when they need to, and they are facing an overmatched opponent here tonight. Boston can’t afford to take any “lesser” teams for granted because of their average record this season, so we think they bring their A Game for a very winnable game. Minnesota hasn’t covered in Boston in seven years. |
|||||||
04-09-21 | Rockies v. Giants -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 140 | 5 h 21 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take SF GIANTS -1.5 RL over Colorado (4:35pm E, Friday, April 9th) Same as was mentioned above in the first 5 innings. Look for the Giant's Cueto to be dominant and for the Rockies, Gomber to struggle. Bullpens favor the Giants and the Giant's bats are no slouches, either. Cueto should also go MUCH deeper into the game, than Gomber. Look for SF to win this one, going away. |
|||||||
04-08-21 | Suns v. Clippers -6 | 103-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
We are going to fade the Suns here, who played an amazing game against Utah last night that they won in OT. They played very hard in that game and left everything on the court. Don’t know how much they will have left in the tank here for the Clippers, who are playing as well as any team in the NBA right now and are relatively healthy. The Suns rarely play to expectations in this series as they are 1-8 ATS in the last 9 meetings away from home and 3-10 ATS overall in the last 13 meetings. |
|||||||
04-08-21 | Blazers +6 v. Jazz | 103-122 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
We think the Blazers are catching the Jazz at the right time here, off their epic game against the Suns on Wednesday. Utah lost in OT and both clubs gave it everything they had. The Blazers were off last night and they had a two-day rest before their last game, so they should be very well rested tonight compared to the home team. The Jazz have covered only one of their last five games, so they aren’t in top form right now. We expect a close game here and we think the Blazers have a great chance for the outright win in a clear letdown spot for Utah. |
|||||||
04-08-21 | Lakers +9.5 v. Heat | 104-110 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Just not a believer in the Heat as this big of a favorite. The Lakers have seemingly figured out a way to play together recently as they have won two of three as they wait for their stars to come back. The Heat have won four of five but those were against a lousy bunch of teams. The Lakers are in danger of dropping down the standings and out of the playoff race if they aren’t competitive. They need to play hard in games like this and give themselves a chance to win. We had this game handicapped on the other side of the key NBA betting number of 7, so we think there’s nice value here. |
|||||||
04-08-21 | Cubs -1.5 v. Pirates | 4-2 | Win | 115 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play: Take 903 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5 RL, Over PIRATES (1:35PM E, Thursday, April 8th) With Arrieta on the mound, the Cubs are just simply hard to beat. With some new names swinging their bats well, Look for Cubs to focus on this Divisional game. |
|||||||
04-07-21 | Pelicans +9 v. Nets | 111-139 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
The Nets are 6-21 ATS this season when laying five or more points. This is one of the most overrated teams by the oddsmakers this season and this team is definitely a work in progress and we won’t see their true celling until the postseason. The Nets are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games overall, and we think this will be another close one. The Pelicans are inconsistent but can play with anyone when they are on, and they will probably be highly motivated tonight for this matchup. |
|||||||
04-07-21 | Cardinals -1.5 v. Marlins | 7-0 | Win | 148 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play: Take 959 St. Louis Cardinals -1.5, RL Over MIAMI (4:10, Wednesday, April 7th, Cards are playing well and their offense is starting to come around. With Flaherty on the mound, look for them to keep the Marlins under water and maybe in deeper water than the Marlins are used to. |
|||||||
04-07-21 | Rays v. Red Sox -1.5 | 2-9 | Win | 176 | 1 h 19 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play: Take 968 BOSTON RED SOX -1.5, RL Over Tampa Bay. (1:10pm E, Wednesday, April 7th). Boston got off to a tough start, this season, against an Orioles team that wasn't supposed to be much. They're getting back in form, now, and look for Eovaldi to keep the Rays in check. |
|||||||
04-06-21 | Blazers v. Clippers -5.5 | 116-133 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
The Clippers have been somewhat streaky and they followed up a big win streak with a couple losses. But they had their big blowout win over the Lakers last time out and now we think they will continue the streak with a comfortable win here. Portland has been playing well but it could be Fool’s Gold as they have had a very easy schedule lately. They will take a big step up in competition here. The Clippers have covered in all four of the last four meetings and we think they are the much stronger team in this matchup. |
|||||||
04-06-21 | 76ers -1.5 v. Celtics | 106-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Looks like the Celtics could be making a move. They had two easy opponents, but their last two games were blowout wins and covers. Boston usually brings their A Game against top opponents, and especially against Philly at home where they are 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Boston has had a strange and underachieving season so far, but this team looks to turn it on as we head towards the playoffs, and we had them handicapped as a slight favorite here. |
|||||||
04-06-21 | Lakers v. Raptors +1 | 110-101 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
We like what we have seen from Toronto lately. They had that monster win over the Warriors a couple games ago and then they came back with a big rally to beat Washington last night. They come in on a back-to-back here, but they have had a lot of success over the Lakers in the past and are 4-0 in the last four meetings at home and 19-7-1 in the last 27 meetings overall. The Lakers are just a poor team with their stars out and we expect the Raptors to win this one comfortably as they need every win they can get now. |
|||||||
04-05-21 | Wizards v. Raptors -4.5 | Top | 101-103 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
We have been patiently waiting for the Raptors to turn the corner. This team has a solid roster and there is no reason this team shouldn’t be making a playoff push. Well, with that game last time out, the dominating win over Golden State that was one of the biggest wins of the season in the NBA, maybe now is the time they start to turn it on. Sometimes all you are missing in the NBA is confidence, and they should have plenty of that after dismantling the Warriors. The Wizards are going nowhere fast, and who know which games they choose to give max effort in. We get the feeling Toronto will be the more motivated team tonight. |
|||||||
04-05-21 | Royals v. Indians -1.5 | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play: Take 968 CLEVELAND INDIANS -1.5, RL OVER ROYALS (4:10pm E, Monday, APRIL 5th) The Indians are finally starting to light it up and are the offensive team they were expecting to be. Look for them to light up the scoreboard again, today, with Danny Duffy on the mound for K.C. Duffy, who has not proven to be consistent, at all, and the Indians will exploit that inconsistency, today. |
|||||||
04-05-21 | Twins -1.5 v. Tigers | 15-6 | Win | 101 | 3 h 35 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play: Take 963 MINNESOTA TWINS -1.5, RL, OVER TIGERS (1:10pm E, Monday, April 5th) The Twins have a really good team, this year, and will exploit Detroit's weaknesses, today. Miguel Cabrera is questionable, which makes it an even steeper uphill battle. Look for the Twins to take this first game of the series in Detroit, easily. Urena, on the mound for Detroit, won't help the Tiger's any. |
|||||||
04-04-21 | White Sox v. Angels -1.5 | 4-7 | Win | 160 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play: 924 L.A. Angels -1.5, RL Over Chicago White Sox (8:37pm E, Sunday, April 4th) The Angels bats have begun to heat up and Pujols (especially early in the season, when he's healthy) and Mike Trout against a young Dylan Cease (who has yet to prove anything and is under a LOT of pressure, trying to prove he should be the 4th starter) should provide a lot of runs and look for the Angels to knock Cease out, early! |
|||||||
04-04-21 | Cardinals -1.5 v. Reds | 1-12 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 19 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play: Take 905 St. Louis Cardinals -1.5, RL, Over Cincinnati (1:10pm E, Sunday, April 4th) The Cardinals are a VERY GOOD offensive team and that should show up today at Great American Smallpark, especially with the wind blowing out to left and against Jeff Hoffman, look for the Cardinals to score early and often. |
|||||||
04-03-21 | UCLA +14.5 v. Gonzaga | 90-93 | Win | 100 | 51 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #803 UCLA over Gonzaga (8:34p.m., Saturday, April 3 CBS) Just cannot justify laying this many points in a Final Four game. Gonzaga is loaded on offense but USC had numerous chances to cover tonight’s posted number in the Elite 8 and UCLA plays at a much slower pace. Gonzaga may jump out early but UCLA has came back in numerous tournament games this year. UCLA is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games. The Bruins find a way to keep this deficit around 8-10 points and we collect with the underdog. |
|||||||
04-03-21 | Houston v. Baylor -5 | Top | 59-78 | Win | 100 | 48 h 55 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #802 Baylor over Houston (5:14p.m., Saturday, April 3 CBS) Baylor cleared a major hurdle by getting to the Final Four and expect them to play a more relaxed game against Houston. The Cougars are an outstanding defensive team, but I just do not believe that they will be able to match Baylor’s high-powered offense to keep the deficit in single digits. Baylor is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 neutral site games when they are the favorite. Houston got all that they could handle from Rutgers in the round of 32 and I see do not believe they can keep up in scoring with the Bears. |

04-03-21 | Cardinals v. Reds -1.5 | 6-9 | Win | 170 | 5 h 19 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play: Take 958 Cincinnati Reds -1.5, RL, Over St. Louis (4:10pm E, Saturday, April 3) Wainwright has been a good pitcher for the Cardinals for a long time. A very LONG time and the Reds have seen him plenty. Look for hot Cinci bats to knock him out early and win this one, going away. |

04-02-21 | Giants v. Mariners -1.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play, Take 928 Seattle Mariners -1.5 RL, Over SF Giants (10:10pm E, Friday, April 2nd) Baseball is a funny game when it comes to momentum and the Mariners definitely have it on their side after scoring 6 runs in the bottom of the 8th, last night, then winning in extra innings. Look for them to ride that wave, for a while. |

04-02-21 | White Sox v. Angels -1.5 | 12-8 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play, Take 922 LA Angels -1.5 RL, Over Chicago White Sox (9:38pm E, Friday, April 2nd) Look for Andrew Heaney to get off to a good start this year and this is the right place for him. The White Sox are atrocious against left-handed pitching. Though not impressive in the preseason, look for the Angels to start the season 2-0. |

04-01-21 | Magic +9 v. Pelicans | Top | 115-110 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
The Magic are playing well. They are coming off a confidence-boosting win in LA against the Clippers and they have covered in seven of their last nine games overall. This young team plays solid defense and lately they have been able to put together enough offense to stay competitive. The Pelicans have Zion and Ball on the injury report tonight. If one or both can’t go that will help us a lot. We think Orlando can keep this close regardless of the status of those players. The Pelicans have not been good as a big favorite this season. They are 1-5 ATS when laying 7.5 or more points. They could be in a letdown spot after one of their biggest wins of the season against Boston. They are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a winning percentage below .400. Orlando has also covered in all of the last four meetings. We expect a close game here. |

03-30-21 | USC v. Gonzaga -8 | 66-85 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #658 Gonzaga over Southern Cal (7:15p.m., Tuesday, March 30 TBS) We saw last night that the better team jumped out big early in both games and expect Gonzaga to do that on Tuesday as well. The Bulldogs are the best team in the country, and they have the tools to combat the Trojans on defense and I just do not believe USC can keep up in scoring. USC has covered every NCAA Tournament games under Andy Enfield and that streak will end tonight. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

03-29-21 | Bucks v. Clippers -2 | 105-129 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
The Clippers are playing some of their best basketball of the season right now and they are winners of five straight. All but one of those games was a double-digit win. And the Bucks aren’t playing their best basketball at the moment as they are in a mid-season funk and have lost two straight. They have failed to cover their last six games when a posted underdog. We thought this line should be at least 4.5 at Staples and think this line is short. We would have leaned to LA at the bigger number but we think there is nice value here with this short line. |

03-29-21 | Arkansas +8 v. Baylor | 72-81 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #653 Arkansas over Baylor (9:57p.m., Monday, March 28 CBS) This game has been Baylor’s nemesis under Scott Drew, as they have yet to advance to a Final Four. Now they are a big favorite and expected to do so and I just do not see a blowout in this game. Arkansas has been down big in every tournament game they have played and sooner or later they will put it all together and play a complete 40-minute game. I expect them to take this game down to the wire and we will collect with whoever comes out on top. |

03-28-21 | Florida State v. Michigan -2.5 | Top | 58-76 | Win | 100 | 120 h 29 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #628 Michigan over Florida State (5p.m., Sunday, March 28 CBS) This is not as strong of Seminole team as they have been in the last couple of years. Michigan has had good recent success against FSU and expect that to carry over into this game as well. Florida State has some shaky losses this season to UNC, Notre Dame, and Georgia Tech (twice) and if Michigan can shoot it well from the arc they will take care of business. Florida State is 1-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 neutral site games. Michigan is 17-7 ATS in their last 24 games. This team has adjusted to life without Isaiah Livers and will make a deep run this weekend with a good chance to make the Final Four. |

03-28-21 | Suns -6 v. Hornets | 101-97 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 59 m | Show | |
The Hornets have been playing some solid ball, but they have been playing above their heads a bit and they have had a pretty easy schedule. We think this is a real tough test for them on Sunday. The Suns have been playing very well, and they tend to have a down game every now and then but we think they got that out of their systems two games ago in a loss to the Magic. Phoenix can hang with anyone offensively but they have an elite defense and that should be the difference in this Sunday matinee. |
