Indians (Anderson) @ Rays (Karns) 7:05 PM ET Play On: Under 7.0 (5*) The Indians Cody Anderson made his 2015 MLB debut start last week versus Tampa Bay and it was a stellar performance. In that outing he allowed no earned runs, gave up six hits, and walked only 1 during 7 2/3 innings pitched.

06-27-15 | Colorado Rockies v. San Francisco Giants OVER 7.5 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
The Colorado Rockies have gone 9-2 over the total in their last eleven, and are averaging 7.3 runs per game and hitting a superb .318 as a team during the previous seven. the Rockies Chris Rusin has displayed horrible form during his last three starts, posting a huge 9.39 ERA, and 2.02 WHIP.

After getting off to a promising start in 2015, Giants starter Tim Lincecum has faded badly in recent starts. Lincecum has gone 6-0 over the total in his last six starts while posting an awful 7.00 ERA and 1.81 WHIP. He last just a total of 27.0 innings during those six outing, and allowed an alarming 6 home runs. Play on this game to go over the total. |

06-26-15 | Atlanta Braves v. Pittsburgh Pirates UNDER 6.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 1 m | Show | |
Williams Perez has been a pleasant surprise for the Braves so far this season. In 7 starts he has an outstanding 2.14 ERA. Perez has been especially good in his three starts on the road by posting a microscopic 0.47 ERA in those outings. The Braves have been anemic offensively of late, averaging 1.9 runs per game, and hitting just .231 as a team during their last seven. Francisco Liriano is coming off a shaky start, but I’m going to give him a pass considering it was versus the red-hot hitting Washington Nationals. The Pirates veteran southpaw has posted a terrific 2.21 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and compiled nearly an 8:1 strikeout to walk ratio in his last six starts. Similar to tonight’s opponent, Pittsburgh has struggled offensively of late. They’re averaging just 2.7 runs per game and hitting a miserable .223 as a team in their previous seven outings. Play on this game to go under the total. |

06-24-15 | San Diego Padres v. San Francisco Giants UNDER 7 | 0-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 26 m | Show | |
The Padres Ian Kennedy has seemed to find his groove in his last three starts. Kennedy has displayed very good form in those outings, posting a stellar 2.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and compiled a 7:1 strikeout to walk ratio. In two starts versus the Giants this season, Kennedy has a 0.97 ERA. The Padres have a poor team batting average of .219 during their last seven games. Ryan Vogelsong has gone 4-0-1 under the total during five starts at home this season, posting a shining 3.04 ERA, and 1.05 WHIP in doing so.

The Giants are 22-12-2 under the total at home in 2015, including 16-4 when facing a division opponent. Those 20 home clashes versus NL West foes have averaged only a combined 5.5 runs per game scored. The Giants have hit just 19 home runs in 36 games at AT&T Park this year.

06-24-15 | Kansas City Royals v. Seattle Mariners OVER 7 | 8-2 | Win | 105 | 5 h 21 m | Show | |

The Royals have gone 6-1-2 over the total in their previous nine games, and are hitting a robust .297 as a team over the last seven.

06-23-15 | St. Louis Cardinals v. Miami Marlins UNDER 7 | 4-3 | Push | 0 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
Carlos Martinez has been brilliant for the Cardinals during his previous six starts. In those outings he’s posted a microscopic 0.89 ERA, and all six games went under the total. Although the Cardinals have gone over the total during each of their previous three games, they’ve been involved in low scoring affairs more times than not this season. Eliminating any pushes, St. Louis has gone 42-25 (62.7%) under the total in 2015. The Cardinals bullpen has been arguably the best in baseball to this point of the season. Their relievers have a collective 2.17 ERA thus far. Jose Urena will make his sixth start of the season tonight for the Marlins, and each of the first five stayed under the total. Urena has been especially good during his previous three starts, posting a shining 1.93 ERA. The Marlins right-hander has allowed just 3 home runs in 32 2/3 innings pitched this season. Miami has gone under the total in their last three, and are 10-2-1 under the total during its previous thirteen games. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

06-23-15 | Detroit Tigers v. Cleveland Indians UNDER 7 | Top | 7-3 | Loss | -111 | 3 h 30 m | Show |
David Price enters today’s start in excellent form based on his last three appearances. During those outings, Price posted a superb 1.17 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and compiled a better than 8:1 strikeout to walk ratio. In two starts versus the Indians this season, the Tigers southpaw allowed no earned runs in 14 2/3 innings pitched. The Indians Danny Salazar has also displayed very good form over his previous three starts. During those three outings, Salazar posted a stellar 2.89 ERA, and had nearly a 7:1 strikeout to walk ratio. The Indians hurler made two starts versus Detroit this season, and posted a solid 2.57 ERA. The Indians have been anemic offensively of late, averaging 2.6 runs per game, and hitting a horrible .210 as a team over their last seven. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

06-20-15 | San Francisco Giants v. Los Angeles Dodgers OVER 7.5 | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
The Giants Tim Hudson has been terrible during his last three starts on the road. In those outings he’s posted a 9.64 ERA and 1.86 WHIP. The Giants are 21-11-2 over the total on the road this season, and 22-6 over the number in 2015 versus opponents that average 4.3 or less runs per game. By the way, the Dodgers are averaging exactly 4.3 runs per game. The Dodgers Carlos Frias has gone 3-0 over the total in starts during the day with a mammoth 9.60 ERA and 1.87 WHIP. Keep in mind that technically this is an afternoon start on the west coast. The Dodgers are 24-13-1 over the total at home this season. Play on this game to go over the total for a 5* selection. |
|||||||
06-20-15 | Los Angeles Angels v. Oakland A's OVER 7.5 | 1-4 | Loss | -127 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
Jered Weaver is 3-0 over the total in his starts at Oakland since the onset of the 2014 season. He posted a sizable 6.41 ERA and allowed 5 home runs in 19 2/3 innings during those outings. Weaver has been shaky in his last three starts overall, posting a lofty 6.64 ERA, and allowed 6 home runs in 20 1/3 innings. Since the start of the 2013 season, the Angels have gone 19-4 over the total in games played at Oakland. Oakland has gone 5-1 over the total in their last six, 22-10 over the total at home in 2015, and 41-25-4 over the number during all games this season.

Play on this game to go over the total as a 5* selection. |
|||||||
06-19-15 | Miami Marlins v. Cincinnati Reds OVER 8 | 0-5 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
Dan Haren has been the Marlins best starting pitcher so far in 2015. However, he’s allowed 8 home runs in 38 1/3 innings on the road, posted a 4.23 ERA, and has gone 5-1 over the total in those outings. That’s not good news considering he’ll be facing a Reds team which has launched 48 home runs in 33 home games this season. The Reds starter Mike Leake has gone 5-1 over the total this tear with a sizable 6.23 ERA and a poor 1.73 WHIP. Leake has also given up 8 home runs in just 34 2/3 innings pitched at home. Although the Marlins don’t possess much power besides superstar slugger Giancarlo Stanton, they’ve displayed an ability to go yard more so on the road than at their pitcher friendly home park. Play on this game to go over the total as a 5* selection. |
|||||||
06-16-15 | Golden State Warriors v. Cleveland Cavaliers OVER 194 | 105-97 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
These teams have gone 3-1-1 under the total in this series. The only time they went over the number was in the series opener, and that only occurred because the contest required overtime to produce a winner. Ironically the game that went over also had the highest closing total of 204.0. Since that time we’ve seen that number lessen to 199.0 in Game 2, 194.5 to 195.0 in Games 3 through 5. The general public has even joined in on the parade of bettors who early in the process have opted to go under the total in Game 6. However, the Warriors have regained their lethal three point shooting efficiency during the last two games, and have converted on a superb 42.9% (24-56) of their attempts in that regard. They’ve also shot a very good 47.3% from the field. There’s no slowing down the epic performances that LeBron James has turned in during these NBA Finals. I also look for some of the supporting cast to contribute tonight in the friendly confines of the Quicken Loans Arena. Play on this game to go over the total as a 5* selection. |
|||||||
06-16-15 | Toronto Blue Jays v. New York Mets OVER 7.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
The Mets Matt Harvey doesn’t appear to be 100% healthy of late. When looking at his last four starts it’s easy to arrive at the conclusion. In those outings he’s posted an awful 7.20 ERA. Even more alarming during that terrible stretch, he’s allowed 8 home runs in just 25.0 innings. Putting that into perspective, Harvey allowed only 4 home runs in his first 54 2/3 innings pitched this season. Toronto was held to 3 runs in yesterday’s extra inning loss to the Mets, and that’s news in of itself. It was just the third time in their last twelve that they were held to less than 7 runs in a game. The Blue Jays hit two more home runs on Monday, and they now have 81 for the season which is third best in all of baseball. Toronto is 19-11-2 over the total in away games this year. The Mets has gone 5-1 over the total in their last six games, and 28-19-3 over the total when facing a right-handed starting pitcher like they will be today. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

06-15-15 | Tampa Bay Lightning v. Chicago Blackhawks UNDER 5 | 0-2 | Win | 110 | 5 h 19 m | Show | |
These teams have seen four of the first five games in this series stay under the total, including each of the previous three. Since the beginning of the 2014-2015 NHL regular season campaign, they’ve gone 6-1 under the number in their seven overall encounters. All three games played between these clubs at the United Center in Chicago this season have gone under the total. Tampa Bay has allowed two goals or less in five of their last six games. The Lightning has gone a dismal 1-for-12 on the power play in the first five games of this Stanley Cup Final. However, they’ve also been able to kill of 11-of-13 power man advantage opportunities by Chicago. Chicago has now gone 24-8 under the total versus Eastern Conference opponents this season. The Blackhawks are also 17-7 under the total this year after winning each of their previous two games. Any team (Chicago) coming off two straight one goal wins, versus an opponent which has seen a combined three goals or less scored in each of their previous two games, resulted in that team going 61-28 (68.5%) under the total since 1996. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* selection. |

06-15-15 | New York Yankees v. Miami Marlins UNDER 7 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
The Yankees Masahiro Tanaka has gone 4-0 in his last four starts, posted a microscopic 0.99 ERA, 0.55 WHIP, and compiled a better than 14:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Tanaka has gone a perfect 3-0 on the road this season with an excellent 0.89 ERA and 0.49 WHIP. The Marlins Tom Koehler has a huge disparity in his home/away splits this season. He does enter this outing in terrible form over his last three starts with a 6.35 ERA and 1.77 WHIP. However, each of those outings came on the road. The Miami hurler has posted a stellar 1.72 ERA in five starts at home, and four of the five went under the total. “The Bronx Bombers” have smacked 78 home runs this season in their first 62 games. They’ve done most of that damage at home, evidenced by averaging 1.6 home runs per game at Yankee Stadium, and just 1.0 per contest on the road. Miami is one of the toughest ball parks in Major League Baseball to hit home runs. The Marlins have gone 5-0-1 under the total in the last six, and 10-3-1 under the total during their previous fourteen games. The Yankees won’t have the benefit of having a designated hitter tonight in a National League stadium. I look for Tanaka to have another strong outing against a Miami team which possesses little power beyond Giancarlo Stanton. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

06-11-15 | San Francisco Giants v. New York Mets OVER 7.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
The Giants Tim Lincecum has displayed poor form during his last three starts, posting a large 7.05 ERA, allowed 5 home runs in15 /1/3 innings, and all of those games went over the total. The veteran Giants hurler has been vastly better at home than on the road this season. The Giants are 19-9-2 over the total in away games this season, and 7-1-2 over the number in the last ten games overall. The Mets starter Jonathan Niese is 4-0-1 over the total in his last 5 starts, posting a terrible 7.96 ERA, and allowed 5 home runs in 26.0 innings pitched. The Mets are 11-5-1 over the total in their last 16 games. Tonight’s home plate umpire will be Chris Segal, and he’s 21-11 over the total when assuming that role since 2013. Play on this game to go over the total as a 5* selection. |

06-10-15 | Tampa Bay Lightning v. Chicago Blackhawks OVER 5.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 26 m | Show | |
Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals was won by Tampa Bay 3-2, and stayed under the total of 5.5. Chicago has gone 4-0 over the total in the playoffs following a game that went under. Tampa Bay has gone 8-2-1 over the total in this postseason following a game that stayed under. Both of these teams possess a plethora of offensive firepower not only at the forward positions but from their defensemen as well. This isn’t one of those Stanley Cup Finals where either starting goaltender has been the major reason why their teams have advanced this far. As a matter of fact, each has shown signs of inconsistency throughout the playoffs, and both were either pulled from games or not given a start due to poor performance. Although Ben Bishop turned in a gutty and outstanding performance in Game 3 for Tampa Bay, there’s no doubt in my mind he’s far less than 100% healthy. |
|||||||
06-10-15 | Seattle Mariners v. Cleveland Indians OVER 8.5 | 9-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 38 m | Show | |
Although the Mariners starting pitcher Tijuan Walker has pitched brilliantly in his last two outings, both of those performances have come at home. Walker is 1-5 in his team starts on the road during this 2015 MLB campaign while posting a monster 9.79 ERA, and a huge 2.21 WHIP. The Indians Trevor Bauer has an unimpressive 4.46 ERA in six starts this year. He’s made three career starts versus Seattle, all have come since 2014, and he compiled a lofty 5.10 ERA in addition to 1.61 WHIP during those outings. Both of these teams have played on the low side of the number with frequency of late. However, despite that being the case, the total has gone from its opener of 7.5 to the current number of 8.5 across the board. Play on this game to go over the total as a 5* selection. |
|||||||
06-09-15 | Golden State Warriors v. Cleveland Cavaliers OVER 194 | 91-96 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
This is one of those handicapping scenarios where player performances and injuries can be thrown right out the window regarding tonight’s total. This will be the fifth meeting of the season between these teams, three of the first four went under the total, and the only over in the sequence came as a result of an overtime period. The totals in the games played this season between these teams in chronological order have been 216.5, 211.0, 204.0, 199.0, and is now posted at 194.0 for tonight. Granted both teams have really tightened up defensively, and the Cavaliers lost two starting players for the year due to injuries. However, a 22.5 point difference on the totals from the first time they met in the 2014-2015 campaign, compared to the number for tonight, presents a betting value on going over the number. Play in this game to go over the total as a 5* selection. |

06-09-15 | Philadelphia Phillies v. Cincinnati Reds OVER 8 | Top | 2-11 | Win | 100 | 3 h 23 m | Show |
The Phillies have gone over the total in their last seven games in a row. The Philadelphia starting pitcher Aaron Harang has a large 8.18 ERA and 1.91 WHIP in two starts versus the Reds since the beginning of 2014. The Reds have gone 8-1 over the total in their last 9 games. They’re also 16-9-3 over the total at home in 2015, and have socked 40 home runs in those 28 games. Cincinnati starter Anthony DeSclafani has a sizable 6.57 ERA in two outings versus Philadelphia since 2014. The Phillies have a team on base percentage of .285 this season. The Red starter Desclafani has a 1.26 WHIP on the season. Any road team (Phillies) play in the first half of the season, and has a team on base percentage of .300 or less, versus a National League starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.25 to 1.30, resulted in that road team going 41-14 (74.5%) since 1997. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play. |

06-08-15 | Tampa Bay Lightning v. Chicago Blackhawks UNDER 5.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
Whoever is in goal for Tampa Bay tonight won’t deter them from playing the style they’ve displayed during these playoffs when on the road. They’ve not only gone 7-3 in away games this postseason, they’re also 6-3-1 under the total, and allowed two goals or less in their last nine. As a matter of fact, during their four games at Madison Square Garden in the Eastern Conference Finals, they allowed only a combined four goals, and that included a pair of shutouts in Games 5 and 7. Considering they’re facing a high powered offensive team like Chicago, and the question marks surrounding their goaltending situation, I look for the Lightning to play a tight checking conservative style tonight on the road. Consequently, Play on this game to go under the total as a 5* selection. |

These teams did manage to barley go over the total of 204.0 in Game 1 but only as a result of the contest going overtime. The game was tied 98-98 at the end of regulation time. Golden State has gone 12-4 under the total during these 2015 NBA Playoffs, and that includes 8-1 at home. Cleveland has gone 6-2 under the total in their playoff away games. The Cavaliers have allowed an average of only 93.5 points per game, and held opponents to 41.5% shooting from the field during the postseason. Play on this game to go under the total as a 5* selection. |

Both starting pitchers for this afternoon’s game enter in excellent form during their previous three starts. The Cubs Kyle Hendricks has gone 3-0 under the total in his last three with a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and a better than 4:1 strikeout to walk ratio. The Nationals Jordan Zimmerman is 3-0 under the number in his last three with a 1.23 ERA.

They’ve averaged 7.5 runs and 12.2 hits per game during the last six contests. The Braves starter Julio Teheran has gone over the total in his last three starts and posted a very lofty 6.23 ERA during those outings. As a matter of fact, Teheran is 9-2 over the total this season with a lofty 4.87 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, and has allowed 12 home runs in just 61.0 innings pitched. Teheran can expect little help from the bullpen which has an unimpressive staff ERA of 5.03. Atlanta is coming off a 10-8 loss to Pittsburgh on Friday, and they’ve gone 8-1 over the total in 2015 following a game in which they scored 8 runs or more. Those nine games averaged a whopping 13.5 runs combined being scored per contest. Pittsburgh has gone 5-0-3 over the total during their previous eight games.

The Mets starter Jonathan Nies has gone 4-0 over the total in his previous four starts. During those outings he displayed awful form, posting a large 9.00 ERA, a 1.85 WHIP, and allowed 5 home runs in only 20.0 innings pitched. The Mets southpaw hurler is 10-1 over the total in his career on the road with a total of 9.0 or 9.5. Those 11 games averaged a combined 13.8 runs scored per contest. Arizona starter Jeremy Hellickson has been extremely shaky in five home starts this season. In those outings he’s posted a poor 6.57 ERA and 1.65 WHIP.

06-04-15 | Chicago Cubs v. Washington Nationals UNDER 6.5 | 2-1 | Win | 110 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
Both of these clubs have struggled to score runs of late. The Cubs are averaging 2.7 runs per game and hitting an unimpressive .230 as a team over their last seven games. The Nationals are averaging 2.4 runs per game and hitting a paltry .225 during their last 7. Since 9/5/2012 Gio Gonzalez has made four starts against the Cubs, allowed no earned runs, gave up only 11 hits, and had a better than 7:1 strikeout to walk ratio in 29.0 innings pitched. The Cubs Jake Arrieta has gone 2-0 under the total in his career starts at Washington while allowing just 2 earned runs in 13.0 innings. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* selection. |

06-04-15 | Cleveland Cavaliers v. Golden State Warriors UNDER 203 | 100-108 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 4 m | Show | |
Cleveland has allowed an average of 92.5 points per game, held opponents to a paltry 41.2% shooting from the floor, and limited them to a miniscule 28.1% success rate on their three-point attempts in fourteen playoff games. The Cavaliers have gone 6-0-1 under the total in seven road contests during the playoffs, and those outings averaged just a combined 184.1 points per game being scored. The Golden State Warriors have gone 12-3 under the total during the 2015 NBA Playoffs, and have allowed more than 100 points in just three of those fifteen games. They’ve also gone 8-0 under at home during the postseason, and those contests have averaged a combined 193.3 points per game being scored. Cleveland will be playing on nine days of rest and Golden State will have eight days in that regard. I expect both teams to be a bit tight at the onset of Game1 considering it’s the NBA Finals, and with each club having such a long layoff since closing out their previous series. Play on this game to go under the total as a 5* selection. |

06-04-15 | Cleveland Indians v. Kansas City Royals UNDER 8 | 6-2 | Push | 0 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
The Indians starter Trevor Bauer has gone 4-0 under the total on the road this season with a microscopic 0.99 ERA. He’s also displayed superb form over his last three starts, posting a 1.64 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. The Royals starter Chris Young is 3-0 under the total at home this season with a sparkling 1.57 ERA. The Indians are 18-9-1 under the total on the road in 2015, and that includes 9-2 under during their previous 11 away games. The Royals are averaging a dismal 2.6 runs per game and hitting .207 as a team during their previous seven games. Play on this game to go under the total as a 5* selection. |

06-04-15 | Chicago White Sox v. Texas Rangers OVER 8.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 44 m | Show | |
For starters, tonight’s home plate umpire will be Dana DeMuth. He’s seen 9 of 10 games go over the total in 2015 when calling balls and strikes. These teams have faced each other the last two nights and combined to score a total of 28 runs. The Rangers are averaging 5.7 runs per game and are hitting a very good .291 as a team during their past seven outings. They’ve also allowed opponents an average of 5.0 runs per game in those last seven. The White Sox have allowed opponents a batting average of .299 against them during their previous seven. The White Sox Carlos Rondon has a lofty 1.72 WHIP during his previous three starts. Play on this game to go over the total for a 5* selection. |

06-03-15 | Los Angeles Dodgers v. Colorado Rockies UNDER 10.5 | Top | 6-7 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 26 m | Show |
The Dodgers Mike Bolsinger has posted an excellent 1.15 ERA in his first five outings. Bolsinger has displayed outstanding form in his most recent three starts, compiling a microscopic 0.90 ERA, and all of those games went under the total. The Colorado Rockies Chad Bettis is 4-0 in his team starts with a stellar 2.96 ERA. He’s been even better in his previous three starts, posting a 2.02 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and nearly a 10:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Anytime a game is played at Coors Field it’s always prone to being a high scoring affair. However, I’m going to bet against that likelihood continuing tonight. Both starting pitchers enter this game in very good form, and that should help to keep the scoring relatively low. Play on this game going under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

06-03-15 | Chicago Blackhawks v. Tampa Bay Lightning UNDER 5 | 2-1 | Win | 130 | 51 h 40 m | Show | |
These teams met twice during the regular season, and both games went under the total. Ben Bishop started both of those games for Tampa Bay and had an excellent .970 save percentage during those outings. Tampa Bay has gone under the number in the opening games of each of their 2015 playoff rounds. Chicago has gone 20-7 under the total this season versus non-conference opponents. Any team (Chicago) that allows an average of 2.55 goals or less per game, and has scored four goals or more in each of their previous four games, resulted in that team going 104-58 (64.2%) under the total since 1996. Play on this game to go under the total. |

06-01-15 | Pittsburgh Pirates v. San Francisco Giants UNDER 7 | Top | 4-3 | Push | 0 | 6 h 58 m | Show |
Pittsburgh will send red-hot Gerrit Cole to the mound tonight. Cole has gone 7-3 in his team starts with an outstanding 2.25 ERA, and a 5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. The Pirates right-handed hurler has displayed superb form during his previous three starts, compiling a 1.69 ERA, and a 12.5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. He’s made two career starts versus San Francisco, both have come since 2013, and Cole had a very good 3.14 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in those outings. The Giants turn to veteran right-hander Ryan Vogelsong on Monday. Vogelsong has displayed sparkling form in his last three starts, compiling a 1.53 ERA, and the Giants went 3-0. He’s been especially good at AT&T Park this season, going 3-0 in his team starts with a 1.35 ERA, an excellent 0.65 WHIP, and just short of a 5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. All three of those home starts went under the total. Vogelsong has gone 24-8 under the total in his career when installed as a home money line underdog of +100 or more like he’ll be this evening. Although both teams body of work during the past couple of weeks indicates they’re each hitting with relative regularity, the books aren’t swayed in the least, and it’s evidenced by a low posted total. I like the way both of these starting pitchers have performed not only recently, but since the beginning of the season. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

05-27-15 | San Diego Padres v. Los Angeles Angels UNDER 7 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
The Padres Cashner has unequivocally been the unluckiest starting pitcher in baseball this season. He’s a dismal 1-8 in his nine team starts despite posting a stellar 2.89 ERA. San Diego is 6-1 under the total during their last seven, and averaged a paltry 3.0 runs per game in those outings. Despite adding some additional power to their batting order during the offseason, it hasn’t translated to the type of home run numbers thus far that Padres management had envisioned. San Diego has hit just 39 home runs in their first 47 games. The Padres are 21-7 under the total since the start of the 2014 season as a road money line underdog of +125 to +175 like they will be this evening. The Angels Garrett Richards is a perfect 3-0 during his team starts at home in 2015, and posted a terrific 1.74 ERA. The Angels are hitting an anemic .219 as a team during their previous seven games. They’ve also averaged a measly 2.4 runs per game during seven interleague tilts in 2015. The Halos are 13-8 under the total at home, and those games averaged only a combined 7.0 runs per outing. They’ve also gone 14-5 under the total in their last nineteen games overall. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

05-27-15 | Houston Rockets v. Golden State Warriors UNDER 217.5 | 90-104 | Win | 100 | 5 h 6 m | Show | |
These teams soared over the total of 214.5 in Houston’s 128-115 win on Monday night. However, you can’t shoot any better from beyond the three-point line than both of these teams did in Game 4. Houston and Golden State combined to convert on 37-for-78 (47.4%) of their three point attempts. The likelihood of that kind of shooting on both sides occurring in consecutive games is slim. Golden State has gone under the total in all seven games at home during these playoffs. Prior to their Game 4 dismal defensive performance, the Warriors had allowed 98 points or less in nine of their previous ten contests. Even with Monday’s contest going over the total, Golden State is 9-2 under the total in their last eleven games overall. Any road team with a total of 210.0 or more, coming off a straight up underdog win, versus an opponent coming off a road loss, resulted in that road team going 64-27 (70.3%) under the total since 1996. The average total in those 91 games was 215.3 and the averaged combined points scored were 206.7 per contest. This exact situation has arisen ten times this season, and has gone 8-2 (80%) under the total. Play on this game to go under the total as a 5* selection. |

05-26-15 | Atlanta Braves v. Los Angeles Dodgers OVER 6 | Top | 0-8 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
The Dodgers are 18-7-1 over the total at home, and Atlanta is 26-16-2 over the number in 2015. Right-hander Julio Teheran will make the start tonight for Atlanta. He’s struggled in his five starts on the road, going 4-1 over the total, posting a lofty 5.88 ERA, compiling a terrible 1.89 WHIP, and allowed seven home runs in just 26.0 innings pitched. Teheran is 0-3 in his career team starts versus the Dodgers with an unimpressive 6.50 ERA. All three of those outings have come since 2013. The 2014 National League Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw will take the mound on Monday. Kershaw is off to an inauspicious beginning to the season, going 4-5 in his team starts, and has uncharacteristically high by his standards 4.32 ERA. As a matter of fact, the Dodgers southpaw hurler has been less than stellar during his last three starts, evidenced by a 5.49 ERA in those outings. Dana Demuth is slated to be calling balls and strikes tonight at Dodger Stadium. This will be his ninth time as a home plate umpire in 2015, and he’s seen seven of those first eight games go over the total. Those eight times behind the dish for Demuth this season have averaged a combined 10.4 runs scored per game. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

05-25-15 | Golden State Warriors v. Houston Rockets UNDER 213.5 | 115-128 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Each of the first three games of this series have gone under the total, and there’s been a combined average of 202.7 points scored per contest. As a matter of fact, Golden State has gone under the total in nine of their previous ten games during these 2015 NBA Playoffs, and allowed 98 points or less in nine of those ten. After going over the total in the first six games of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Clippers, Houston has gone under the number in each of the last four. The Rockets were held to a miserable 33.7% shooting from the field in the Game 3 blowout loss versus Golden State. Any home team (Houston) with a total of 210.0 or more, playing with same season revenge stemming from a loss in which they allowed 100 points or more, versus an opponent coming off a straight up underdog win by 10 points or more, resulted in that home team going 33-10 (76.7%) under the total since 1996. Play on this game to go under the total as a 5* selection. |

05-24-15 | Atlanta Hawks v. Cleveland Cavaliers UNDER 190 | Top | 111-114 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
The Atlanta Hawks were averaging 86.7 field goal attempts per game in the first two rounds of the 2015 NBA Playoffs. The Hawks are a team that prefers a faster pace, and they’ve been stymied in that regard by Cleveland in the first two games. Atlanta had just 77 field goal attempts in Game 1 and 79 in Friday’s Game 2. The Hawks were a very good three-point shooting team during the regular season, evidenced by their 37.2% success rate in that regard. They’ve not only been well below that percentage (32.6%) in the playoffs, but were a dismal 10-for-49 (20.4%) during the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals. On a positive note, they’ve held the opposition to 92.8 points per game, and 41.1% shooting from the field during their previous five playoff contests. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been terrific defensively during these 2015 playoffs, and especially so during their previous five games. During that five game stretch they’ve allowed 85.6 points per game. The only flaw they’ve displayed against the Hawks was their free throw shooting. The Cavaliers have gone a poor 29-for-46 (63%) in the first two games of the series. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

05-23-15 | Golden State Warriors v. Houston Rockets UNDER 215 | 115-80 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
The Golden State Warriors receive a lot of acclaim for their potent offensive scoring ability and rightfully so. However, an underrated part of their game has been their play on the defensive end of the court, and that’s especially been the case during these 2015 NBA Playoffs. The Warriors are 10-2 under the total in the post season, including 8-1 under in the last nine, and they allowed 98 points or less in eight of those previous nine contests. Warriors regular season games averaged a combined 208.3 points scored per contest, and that number has shrunk to only 198.1 in the playoffs. Both of these teams have shot poorly from the free throw line, and well below their three-point shooting averages on the season in the first two games of the series. Play on this game to go under the total as a 5* selection. |

05-23-15 | Anaheim Ducks v. Chicago Blackhawks UNDER 5 | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 16 m | Show | |
Counting the regular season, this will be the seventh meeting of the year between these clubs. They’ve gone 4-0-2 under the total in the first six. Since the start of the 2012-2013 NHL campaign, the games between these clubs are 8-2-2 under the total, and that includes 5-1 under at the United Center in Chicago. Corey Crawford has been stellar in goal for Chicago during his previous four starts, compiling a very good .934 save percentage. The Ducks goaltender Frederik Andersen has been nothing short of spectacular in his last four starts. During that time he’s posted a stellar .949 save percentage. I look for both goaltenders continuing to be sharp, and a tight checking low scoring contest once again taking place. Play on this game to go under the total as a 5* selection. |

05-20-15 | NY Rangers v. Tampa Bay Lightning OVER 5 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 125 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
Counting the regular season, these teams have seen four of their five meetings go over the total. Even though the final score indicated a lopsided game, there was plenty of end to end exciting action in Game 2, and I look for that type of play to continue in Game 3. Both of these clubs possess plenty of overall speed, and each of their power play units are starting to heat up. The teams combined to score five power play goals on Monday. I’ll have a strong lean toward this game being a high scoring affair when making my NHL picks. Any road team with a total of 5.0 or less, playing with same season revenge stemming from a home loss by four goals or more, and they have a winning percentage of better than .500, resulted in that road team going 51-22 (69.9%) over the total since 1996. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

05-18-15 | Tampa Bay Lightning v. NY Rangers OVER 4.5 | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 25 h 47 m | Show |
Since the 1996 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Game 2 of the Eastern and Western Conference Finals has gone 24-9-5 over the total, including 6-2 over since 2011. The New York Rangers have gone under the total in each of their previous 2-games, and both of those contests ended in identical 2-1 scores. The Rangers are averaging 2.9 goals per game this season, and Tampa Bay is averaging 3.1 goals per contest. When combining those two results, and both teams goal scoring production, it qualifies for a totals betting angle that’s sustained the test of time. Any home team (Rangers) with a total of 5.0 or less, coming off two or more games in a row that stayed under the total, and both team are averaging 2.9 or more goals per game on the season, resulted in the home team going 53-22 (70.7%) over the total since 1996. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

05-15-15 | Golden State Warriors v. Memphis Grizzlies OVER 193 | Top | 108-95 | Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
It took the Warriors until Game 4 of this series to finally figure out how to get open looks from beyond the three-point line. However, once they did, boy did the flood gates open up. They’ve made exactly fourteen three-point shots in each of the last two games, and converted on a sizzling hot 44.4% of those attempts. The Grizzlies defensive numbers may be a bit askew since they’re very adept at slowing the pace of games down to their liking. Considering each of the first five games of this series has gone under the total, the general public will unlikely be lining up to wager on going over the total in this contest. Especially in light of the fact that Memphis has gone 23-2 under the total in their previous twenty five games played at home. Both of these teams were precisely 8-for-10 from the free throw line in Game 5. That’s well below the season average of 23 attempts per game for Memphis and 21 by Golden State. There’s a high probability will see that particular facet of Game 6 return to more of the norm than what we witnessed in Game 5. I’m going to take more of a contrarian approach in terms of my selection on this total. NBA Totals Super Angle Any road team (Golden State) that’s playing in game 42 of the season or beyond with a total of 190.0 to 199.5, possessing a defensive field goal percentage of 43.5% to 45.5%, and has held each of their previous five opponents to 42% or less shooting from the field, versus a team (Memphis) with a field goal percentage defense of 43.5% to 45.5%, resulted in that road team going 49-23 (68.1%) over the total since 1996. The average total in those 72-games was 193.5, and the average points scored combined was 200.0 per contest. This exact scenario also saw 55.1% of those 75-games go over the total by 7.0 points or more. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

05-15-15 | Atlanta Hawks v. Washington Wizards OVER 197.5 | 94-91 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Each team also scored the fewest amount of points in a game during the 2015 NBA Playoffs during Atlanta’s 82-81 home win on Wednesday. Both teams shot the ball terribly during Game 5 in addition to being careless with the basketball. The teams combined to shoot just 39.2% from the field, go a dismal 9-for-39 (23.1%) from three-point territory, and committed a cumulative 42 turnovers. Prior to Game 5, these rivals had seen seven of their first eight go over the total during the regular season and playoffs. All four games this season that were played in Washington between these clubs have gone over the total. Those contests averaged a combined 206.5 points per game being scored. I firmly believe both teams will be much better offensively in Game 6. Play on the game to go over the total as a 5* selection. |

05-13-15 | Washington Wizards v. Atlanta Hawks UNDER 200 | 81-82 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Pertaining to a game of this magnitude, it’s a given that the sports-books will certainly receive a plethora of wagering action. At the time of this writing, the public has overwhelmingly wagered (66%) on going over the total. Despite that pattern, the current total the the same as its opener of 200.0. Each of the previous two games in this series has gone over the total. Atlanta is 14-5 under the total this season following two consecutive games going over the number. Those nineteen contests averaged a combined 193.9 points scored per game. The Washington Wizards trailed at the half of Game 4 by the score of 65-55. They’ve allowed 60-points or more just 21 times in the first half of games during the past three seasons. Washington went 15-5 under the total in the following game, and there were a combined average of 188.6 points scored per contest. Play on Washington and Atlanta to go under the total as a 5* selection. |

05-12-15 | Tampa Bay Lightning v. Montreal Canadiens OVER 4.5 | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 36 m | Show |
Tampa Bay was the highest scoring team in the NHL during the regular season, and this low of a total certainly lends some value in going over the number. As a matter of fact, the Lightning has gone over the total in 18 of 24-games this season when there’s a combined four goals or less scored in their previous game. Those 24-games have averaged a combined 6.1 goals scored per contest. A 2-2 tie at the end of regulation certainly wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility in this Game 6. I also look for the Lightning to be very aggressive offensively this evening, playing to win, instead of playing not to lose, like they’ve been during the previous three games of the series. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

05-12-15 | Chicago Bulls v. Cleveland Cavaliers UNDER 191 | Top | 101-106 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 40 m | Show |
Chicago has also held nine of their last fourteen opponents to less than 40% shooting from the floor. Putting their defensive playoff numbers into perspective, they’re allowing 91.1 points per game, and holding opponents to a paltry 39.6% shooting from the field. Cleveland has held Chicago to an average of just 90.3 points per contest, and a paltry 38.0% shooting from the field during the last three games of this series. Cleveland has gone 11-2 under the total during the 2014-2015 NBA campaign as a home favorite of 5.5 or less. With all things being considered, I like this contest to be a low scoring game. Play on Chicago and Cleveland to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

The Memphis Grizzlies have gone a remarkable 22-2 under the total in their last twenty-four games at home. They’ve also seen all three games of this series sty under the total with an average of just 187.7 points combined being scored per contest. The Warriors thrive on playing up tempo basketball and are averaging a very high 87 field goal attempts per game this season. However, in the first three games of this series, it’s been Memphis that’s controlled the pace. Golden State has averaged only 75 field goal attempts per game in this series. The Warriors are also averaging just 93.3 points per game in the series, and that’s well below its season average of 109.3. Memphis has held each of their previous nine opponents at home to 93-points or less. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

The Memphis Grizzlies have gone an incredible 21-2 under the total in their last twenty-three home games. They’ve allowed 93-points or less in each of their previous eight on their home floor. The Grizzlies are extremely good at slowing down the pace of a game to their liking, and despite all their recent success have scored less than 100-points in 19 of their last 26-games. They’ve held the high flying Golden State Warriors to an average of 75.5 field goal attempts per game in this series, and that’s well below their average of 87 per contest. It may be a bit of a surprise to know that the offensively explosive Warriors have gone under the total in five of six games during the 2015 NBA Playoffs. Golden State has also gone under the number in six of the last eight on the road. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

05-09-15 | Tampa Bay Lightning v. Montreal Canadiens OVER 5 | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
After being a brick wall in the first three games of this series, Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop proved to be a mere mortal in Game 4. Bishop was pulled from the game early in the second period after allowing three goals on just fourteen shots. Bishop has gone 18-10-2 over the total on the road this season, and compiled an average .910 save percentage in those outings. The Lightning power play is converting on a stellar 27.3% of their man advantage opportunities during its previous five games. In their nine meetings versus Montreal this season, Tampa Bay is averaging a robust 3.7 goals per game. The Lightning has gone over the total in seven of eight this season, following a loss by three or more, and there were a combined average of 6.7 goals per game scored. The good news for the Montreal Canadiens is that they have one of the premier goaltenders on the planet with Carey Price. The bad news, Price has posted a less than impressive .882 save percentage in this series, and that’s a far cry from his season average of .932. In his nine starts overall against Tampa Bay during the 2014-2015 NHL campaign Price has been very beatable, evidenced by his below standard .897 save percentage in those outings. Montreal had gone seven straight games of scoring two goals or less before lighting the lamp six times on Thursday. It certainly seemed like no fluke since the Canadiens were able apply relentless offensive pressure for the entire game. The Tampa Bay Lightning having a combined winning percentage this season of .613 in the regular season and playoffs. They also sustained a 6-2 home loss to Montreal in Game 4 of this series. Any road team (Tampa Bay) with a total of 5.0, playing with same season revenge stemming from a road loss by four goals or more, and has a better than .500 winning percentage on the season, resulted in the road team going 51-21 (70.8%) over the total since1996.

This will be the seventh meeting of the season between these two rivals, and six of those contests have gone over the total. Ironically, the only one that stayed under the number was in Game 2 of this playoff series on Tuesday. Atlanta won that game 106-90, and it narrowly stayed under the total of 199.0. |

05-08-15 | Houston Rockets v. Los Angeles Clippers UNDER 216.5 | Top | 99-124 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 55 m | Show |
The First two games of this series have gone over the total, and as a result the totals have gone from 212.0 in Game 1 to 214.5 in Game 2, and in Game 3 the opening number was 217.0. It must be noted, in Game 2, these teams combined to attempt an astronomical 96 free throws, and made 67 of those tries. Those are just unfathomable numbers. The Houston Rockets accounted for 64 of those free throw attempts, and some in part had to do with intentional fouls on Dwight Howard, and he cooperated with the Clippers strategy by going a dismal 8-for-21. In the opening game of the series, there weren’t anywhere the amount of free throws, but there was a combined 24 made three-pointers. The teams combined to score 122-points in the second half of that opening game, including an enormous 71 scored by the Clippers. All in all there were some extraordinary things which occurred in the first two games. Any road team (Houston) with a total of 210.0 or more, possessing a +3.0 or more point per game differential on the season, and they’re coming off two games in a row in which there were a combined 215-points or more scored, resulted in that road team going under the total in 28 of those 38-games (73.7%) since the start of the 2011-2012 NBA campaign.

The Anaheim Ducks are averaging a robust 4.0 goals per game in the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs. They also went over the total in four of their last five games, and averaged an even better 4.4 goals per outing. The Ducks have seen six of their eight meetings with the Flames go over the total this season, and that includes each of the four played at Calgary. The Flames have encountered some real concerns in goal during recent games. Jonas Hiller has been removed from the equation and replaced by backup Karri Ramo. Arguably that change hasn’t provided a significant difference although it’s still a small sample size. Calgary has gone over the total in three of their last four games, and allowed 4.0 goals per outing during that span. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

Any novice handicapper can read the same information that I have, and would be led to believe that going under the total is a mortal lock. All you need to do is look at the early betting trends to see that bettors have been undeterred by the books lowering the total to 4.5 for Game 3, yet they continue to pound the under by an overwhelming margin. My personal experience has shown me that when it pertains to sports betting, if it looks that easy, more times than not it isn’t. I’m going to fade the public on this total when making my NHL picks for Wednesday. Play on the Rangers and Capitals to go over the total of 4.5 as a 5* selection. |

Wisconsin has scored 71-points or more in each of their previous seven games. They're a very underrated offensive team due to the slower pace they prefer to play at. The truth of the matter is that they're good enough to play any style and on the vast majority of occasions are successful in doing so. This may be Bo Ryan's most gifted offensive team since he's been at Wisconsin. The Badgers are a good but not great defensive team. Their defensive numbers can be a bit misleading because of their ability to limit opponents offensive possessions, and that part of their game could be exposed today versus an athletic team like Arizona. The Badgers have gone over the total in three of the last four, and six of their previous nine games. |

I wouldn't consider either of these teams to be great defensively. The points per game allowed by Wisconsin is impressive, but very deceiving, and is mostly due to the slower pace they've been afforded to play at with big leads on many occasions this season.
