At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Indiana.  We played on the Pacers in Game 3 and got the $$$ when they upset OKC, 116-107.  That SU/ATS loss now makes OKC 0-8 ATS on the road in this year's Playoffs.  The strange thing is that OKC set the best regular season point spread mark in the NBA since 1990 with a 54-26-3 ATS record.  And they were stellar both at home and on the road (25-13-2 ATS on an opponent's home court; 1-1 ATS on a neutral court in the In-Season Tournament).  So, its 0-8 ATS mark in the Playoffs is a head-scratcher.  We're going to lay the points notwithstanding this 0-8 mark.  The Pacers have been awesome in this Playoffs following a loss (5-0 ATS), and vs. an opponent off a win (9-0 ATS), but they've burned money vs. an opponent off a loss (4-6 ATS, including 1-3 ATS at home).  Finally, the Thunder are 36-15 ATS off a SU loss when playing a .611 (or better) foe, including 8-0 ATS their last eight.  Take OKC.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Sky + the points over the Atlanta Dream.  The Sky come into this game off a 19-point loss to the Liberty, while the Dream won by 19 over Indiana in its last game.  We'll grab the points tonight with Chicago, as double-digit dogs off losses by 15+ points have cashed 61.6% vs. foes off wins by 15+ points.  Additionally, Atlanta is an awful 15-31 ATS as a favorite off a SU win vs. foes off a SU loss.  Take the Sky + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Ottawa Redblacks + the points over Montreal.  The Redblacks lost to Saskatchewan, 31-26, as a 4-point road underdog last week, while Montreal blew out Toronto, 28-10, as a 7-point home favorite.  The Alouettes are favored on the road at Ottawa, and we'll happily grab the points with the home team.  Indeed, home dogs of more than 3 points are 9-0 ATS their last nine off a SU/ATS loss vs. foes off a win by more than 8 points.  Take Ottawa.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Oilers over the Florida Panthers.  Things got ugly on Monday night, both in general and for Edmonton specifically in Game 3.  The Panthers completely overwhelmed their opponent at home and ran away with the game, 6-1.  Brawls erupted in the third period as the Oilers became completely frustrated with Florida's superior play and forechecking.  With the smoke now cleared, Edmonton has a lot of soul searching to do.  It appears that the Oilers will stick with Stuart Skinner to start Game 4 tonight, but Kris Knoblauch has said he won't make a final decision until later in the day.  Skinner has been running hot and cold and he often follows up horrible performances like Game 3 with very solid play.  The other good news for Edmonton is that it has not lost three games in a row since a regular-season skid that started February 7, and the stakes are significantly higher now in this Stanley Cup Final.  The Oilers are 34-16 (+11.2 net games) off back to back losses.  And they're 10-0 in Game 4 of a Playoff series since 2023.  Take Edmonton.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on Game 3 between Indiana and Oklahoma City to go UNDER the total.  The Oddsmakers have installed a relatively-high over/under line for this series so far.  Game 2 squeaked over the total of 228 when OKC won, 123-107.  We'll look for a lower-scoring game tonight, as NBA teams have gone 23-6 UNDER the total in games with O/U lines north of 223, following a Playoff defeat in which they gave up 122+ points.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers + the points over Oklahoma City.  We played on OKC and its two home games to start this series, but will switch gears and grab the points with the Pacers at home tonight.  When you look at how the Thunder are performing on the road in the Playoffs, compared to its home games, there is a stark difference.  At home, the Thunder are 8-3 ATS and have covered the point spread by an average of 11.31 ppg.  But on the road, it is a horrid 0-7 ATS and has failed to cover the point spread by an average of 13.64 ppg.  The Pacers, meanwhile, are 5-3 ATS at home in the Playoffs, and have covered by an average of 3.68 ppg.  Even better:  Indiana is a dominant 12-0 ATS in the Playoffs when playing with revenge from a Playoff defeat by more than 12 points.  With Indy off a 123-107 loss in Game 2, we'll grab the points with Indy tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Sky + the points over New York.  These two teams met last month, and the Liberty blew out the Sky, 99-74, as an 11.5-point road favorite.  This game will be played in the Big Apple, and we will grab the points with the revenge-minded Sky.  Chicago did lose by 27 points to the Fever on Saturday.  But the good news is that the Liberty are a horrid 0-20 ATS when favored by 5+ at home vs. a revenge-minded foe off a loss.  We'll grab the points with the Sky.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Indiana.  The Thunder have been dominant at home this season -- both in the regular season and the playoffs.  OKC was 35-6 SU and 28-12-1 ATS at home in the regular season, and is 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS at home in the Playoffs (43-8 SU and 35-15-1 ATS combined).  Unfortunately, the Thunder blew a 15-point, 4th quarter lead and lost Game 1, 111-110.  We'll take the Thunder to rebound tonight, as they're 12-0 ATS their last 12 (and 40-15-3 ATS their last 58) when playing a .611 (or better) foe, if the Thunder were not off a SU/ATS win.  Even better:  NBA teams off upset losses have gone 31-22-2 ATS in the NBA Finals.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Oilers over the Florida Panthers. If Game 1 is any indication, this is going to be one heck of a Stanley Cup Finals. Edmonton took the early lead on a first period goal from Leon Draisaitl, only to have Florida tally the next three goals to take what looked like a pretty safe lead two minutes into the second period. But then the Oilers got one more in the 2nd and the only goal in the 3rd to force overtime and they ended it the way they started it -- with a goal from Draisaitl with just 31 seconds to go in the extra stanza. The score may have been close, but the Oilers out-shot the Panthers by a lopsided 46-32 margin.  The Oilers were my preseason pick (at +850 odds) to win the Stanley Cup, and I have no reason to doubt them now.  Edmonton has its two-headed monster of Draisaitl and Connor McDavid and those two seem to get stronger with each playoff game. The Oilers are 24-7 this season coming off a home win, and they're 8-3 when leading in a playoff series. Meanwhile, the Panthers are a poor 10-15 (minus 2.5 net games) as a road underdog.  Take Edmonton. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Tigers over the Chicago Cubs.  Tarik Skubal -- last year's Cy Young Award winner -- will match up against Ben Brown on this Friday night.  Skubal is having another great campaign, and especially here at Tigers Stadium, where he is 4-0 (in 6 starts) with a 1.83 ERA and a 0.71 WHIP.  Brown, meanwhile, has struggled on the road, where his ERA is 5.88 in five starts.  This will be a tough match-up for the Cubs against the American League's best southpaw, as Chicago is a wallet-busting 23-27 (minus 9.9 net games) vs. lefties.  The Tigers have excelled at home this season, with a 21-8 record, including 4-0 their last four.  We'll back Skubal and the Tigers tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Indiana.  The Thunder set the record this season (at least since 1990, the year my database goes back to) for best point spread percentage.  Including the in-season tournament, OKC went 54-26-3 ATS in the regular season (67% ATS).  It's true that the Thunder are just 7-9 ATS in the post-season.  But that includes an 0-7 ATS mark on the road in the playoffs; at home OKC has been terrific, going 7-2 ATS.  And at home in the regular + post-season combined, the Thunder are 35-14-1 ATS this season, including 13-1-1 ATS vs. Eastern Conference foes.  (Dating back to 2022, OKC is 32-11-2 ATS at home vs. the Eastern Conference.)  I won't fade these numbers.  Lay the points with the Thunder.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the UNDER in Game 1 between Oklahoma City and Indiana.  The Thunder come into this game off back to back high-scoring wins to eliminate the Timberwolves:  128-126 and 124-94.  Off those two offensive outputs, we'll look for a relatively low-scoring game on Thursday.  Indeed, NBA teams have gone UNDER 65.6% since 1990 following back to back games where they tallied 124+ points.  OKC has gone 21-14 UNDER its last 35 home playoff games.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Washington Mystics + the points over the New York Liberty.  These two teams met a week ago here, in the nation's capital, and the Liberty won by 22, 85-63, as a 9-point road favorite.  For this rematch, the oddsmakers have significantly raised the price on the Liberty, who are now a big double-digit road favorite.  We'll take Washington, as the Liberty are a lousy 46-88 ATS when playing a revenge-minded foe, including 0-10 ATS if they won the previous meeting by a margin ranging from 19 to 29 points.  And the Mystics are 9-1-1 ATS as a double-digit home underdog.  Grab the points with Washington.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees -1.5 runs over the Cleveland Guardians.  Max Fried will get the start for the Pinstripes this evening as he looks to continue a sensational start to 2025.  Fried is 7-1 with a 1.92 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 12 outings.  This is a favorable match-up for Fried, as Cleveland is 3-9 vs. lefties this season (and 4-8 vs. lefties on the run-line).  And the Guardians are a dreadful 3-10 on the run-line with Slade Cecconi in his nighttime starts, while Fried's teams are 73-50 (+23.2 net games) on the run-line in his nighttime starts.  The Yankees have outscored their opponents in Fried's six home starts this season by an aggregate of 50-18.  Take New York -1.5 runs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the San Diego Padres.  We played on the Giants last night, and lost an extra innings affair, 1-0.  The Giants' starter, Logan Webb, tossed 8 innings of shut out ball, but got no run support, and the home team fell in 10 innings.  We'll come right back with San Francisco tonight with Landon Roupp on the mound vs. Ryan Bergert.  Roupp has given up just one earned run over his last three starts, across 16 innings.  And when he last faced the Padres at home in San Francisco (Sept 15, 2024), he gave up 0 runs in 5 innings.  The Giants are 17-9 (+6 net games) off a loss this season, including 5-1 off a shutout loss.  And they're 27-15 vs. righties (+10.5 net games), including 15-4 at home.  The Padres, meanwhile, are 9-10 on the road vs. righties, and 7-8 (minus 2.4 net games) on the road off a win.  Take the Giants.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the San Diego Padres. Since 2021, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more consistent MLB starter than Logan Webb. In the last 4+ seasons, the Giants veteran RH has averaged over 30 starts (the only season he didn't have at least 30 was 2021 when he was added to the rotation full-time), and he's amassed a combined 55-40 record with a 3.14 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. That's why, when Webb drops two straight decisions, we are quite surprised. But we also know that it's likely only a blip and that Webb will shake it off as he always does and go back to being, well, Logan Webb. So far in 2025, Webb is tied for the lead in the National League with 12 starts and has won five games with a 2.82 ERA, with 84 strikeouts and 17 walks in 73 1/3 innings. Start number 13 will come tonight against a very good Padres club, but Webb should be up to the task. In 15 previous outings vs. San Diego, Webb has a solid 3.26 ERA. Meanwhile, the Padres' Stephen Kolek's career ERA vs. the Giants is 6.00 in four appearances. The Giants are 47-28 (+7.9 net games) with Webb at home. Take San Francisco. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Sparks minus the points over the Phoenix Mercury.  These two teams met in the Valley of the Sun on May 21, and the Mercury defeated the Sparks, 89-86, as a 4-point home favorite.  Still, the Sparks covered the spread, and they're now 23-16-1 ATS vs. Phoenix, including 9-2 ATS as a home favorite.  That bodes well for the Sparks.  As does the fact that they fall into a 193-125-2 ATS revenge system of mine.  Lay the points with Los Angeles.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Connecticut Sun + the points over the New York Liberty.  The Sun upset the Fever as a 10.5-point underdog, 85-83, on Friday.  Off that big win, we'll ride the momentum and grab the points with the Sun on Sunday.  Indeed, WNBA teams have cashed 58.2% as underdogs off upset wins as a double-digit dog in their previous game.  Take Connecticut.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Under in Game 6 between Indiana and New York.  Game 5 was won by New York, 111-94, and went under the total of 222.5 by 17.5 points.  The Pacers have now gone 27-17 Under the total when attempting to close out a playoff series, while the Knicks are 52-36-5 Under as a road underdog in the Playoffs.  Additionally, Game 6s in the Conference Finals, with O/U lines north of 206, have gone Under 61%.  We'll look for another low-scoring game on Saturday.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Washington Mystics + the points over New York.  We played against the Liberty last night, and got the $$$ with the Valkyries.  And we will once again fade New York tonight, on the road, playing without rest.  Indeed, WNBA teams have cashed just 35.2% on the road off 3+ wins, if they were playing without rest.  Even better:  Washington is 9-2 ATS its last 11 vs. New York, and 15-4-1 ATS its last 20 as a home dog of 8+ points.  Take the Mystics.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over the Indiana Pacers.  The Knicks enter Game 5 down 3-games-to-1 after dropping Game 4, 130-121.  We'll lay the points with New York, as home teams down 3-games-to-1 have cashed 62% in Game 5 of a 7-game series after losing Game 4 on the road.  Additionally, New York is 37-18 ATS as a revenge-minded single-digit favorite, while Indiana is 1-8 ATS when up 2 games in a playoff series.  Lay the points with New York.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.  

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Valkyries + the points over New York.  These two teams met on Tuesday, and the Liberty blew out the Valkyries, 95-67, as an 18-point home favorite.  This game is also being played in the Big Apple, and we'll take the revenge-minded double-digit underdog.  Over the last 14 regular seasons, underdogs of 14+ points have cashed 78.6% when playing the same opponent they lost to in their previous game.  Even better:  revenge-minded road underdogs of 5 (or more) points, off a straight-up loss, have gone 19-0 ATS their last 19 games at New York.  We'll grab the points with the Valkyries.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the UNDER in Game 4 between New York and Indiana.  We played on the Knicks in Game 3, and they rewarded us with a 106-100 upset win.  That game stayed under the total of 223.5 by 17.5 points.  The oddsmakers have moved this number south of 223.5, but it's not enough of an adjustment.  The Knicks are 19-11-2 Under on the road in the playoffs, while the Pacers are 11-3 Under in the Playoffs following an upset loss.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the Golden State Valkyries + the points over the New York Liberty.  The Valkyries come into this game off an upset win as a 10.5-point road dog last Friday at Los Angeles.  We'll take Golden State + the double-digits on Tuesday, as underdogs of more than 8 points have cashed 61.4% since 2006 off a SU win, if they were well-rested with at least 3 days off.  Even better:  WNBA underdogs off an upset win as a double-digit dog have cashed 62% in the regular season.  Grab the points with Golden State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Cleveland Guardians. After winning the first game of the big weekend series in New York on Friday, the Dodgers proceeded to drop the next two to the Mets, scoring just three total runs in the process. Now they travel to Cleveland for the first time since 2023 for this Memorial Day match-up with the Guardians. It's obviously early in the season still, but if you had to name a top pitcher in the NL for 2025, you would likely say it's the Dodgers' Yoshi Yamamoto. The 26-year-old RH from Japan hasn't missed a start and he leads all starters with a 1.86 ERA and a 5.4 hit rate. Yamamoto has also punched out 68 batters in 58 innings. And although he plays in one of the best pitcher's parks in the league in Dodger Stadium, Yamamoto has done just as well on the road as he has at home with exactly the same amount of innings (29). The Dodgers are 4-1 in the last five meetings with the Guardians going back to August of 2023. Take Los Angeles. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks plus the points over Indiana.  The Knicks are in a virtual-must-win situation tonight.  Down 2-games-to-none, they can't afford to go down by 3 games, as no NBA team (in 159 series) has ever climbed out of a 3-0 hole.  We'll take New York, as it's an awesome 71-28 ATS on the road off an upset loss, when matched up against a .500 (or better) foe.  Meanwhile, the Pacers are 1-7 ATS when up exactly two games in a playoff series.  And favorites off upset wins have cashed just 42% in the semifinals since 1990.  Take New York.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over Oklahoma City.  The Thunder have had a home/road dichotomy in this year's playoffs.  At home, OKC has gone 4-2 ATS, but on the road it's a woeful 0-5 ATS.  Tonight, they're favored at Minnesota.  And we'll happily grab the points, as Minny is 28-7 ATS as a home dog vs. a .581 (or better) division rival.  It's true that OKC won two blowouts at home vs. the Wolves.  Unfortunately, OKC is 1-12 ATS in the Playoffs from the 2nd round forward off back to back wins, if it defeated its opponent by double-digits in the previous game.  And .720 (or better) NBA teams have covered just 2 of 15 in the playoffs after back to back ATS wins to start a series.  Take Minnesota.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Fever + the points over New York.  Dating back to last season, Caitlin Clark & Co. are 19-12-1 ATS their last 32.  We'll grab the points with the Fever this afternoon, and go against the Liberty, who won 99-74 over Chicago on Thursday.  Unfortunately for New York, WNBA teams off wins by 20+ points have covered just 37% vs. .555 (or better) foes.  Take Indiana.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over Indiana.  The Pacers stormed back in the final 3 minutes from a 14-point deficit to stun the Knicks, 138-135, as a 4.5-point road underdog at Madison Square Garden.  And that triumph was Indy's 3rd straight upset win in these Playoffs.  We'll fade the Pacers in Game 2, as underdogs have cashed just 37% since 1990 in the Playoffs when they were off 3+ upset wins.  Even better:  New York is a solid 37-17 ATS as a revenge-minded, single-digit favorite.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over Oklahoma City.  The Thunder trounced the T-Wolves, 114-88, on Tuesday to take a 1-0 lead in this semi-final series.  We'll take Minnesota, as Western Conference teams are 34-18-2 ATS when down 1-0 in a series.  Additionally, OKC is a dreadful 15-46 ATS off back-to-back wins, if it was playing a .500 (or better) revenge-minded foe off a loss which it defeated by 10+ points in the season's prior meeting.  And Minnesota is a super 33-15-2- ATS as an underdog (or PK) when playing with revenge.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Sky + the points over the New York Liberty.  The Liberty are the defending WNBA Champs, and opened the season with a big win over the previous champion, Las Vegas.  We'll fade New York tonight, as it is an awful 16-37 when laying more than 9 points, including 9-27 ATS off a win.  And the Sky are 30-22 ATS when catching more than 9 points, including 6-1 ATS at home.  Take Chicago.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Fever minus the points over Atlanta.  This is the 2nd of back to back games between these teams.  The Dream pulled off an upset on Tuesday, as a 7-point road underdog, 91-90.  We'll take the Fever in this revenge match, as Atlanta is a wallet-busting 77-101 ATS when playing a revenge-minded foe.  Additionally, Indiana falls into a 63% ATS revenge system of mine.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Hurricanes over the Florida Panthers.  The Hurricanes made short work of the #1-seeded team in the East beating Washington in five games.  They out-scored the Caps by a lopsided total of 15-7 and out-shot them in all five of those games, finishing the series five days ago in DC.  But while the 'Canes are well-rested for this Conference Finals, the Panthers are anything but, needing seven grueling games to get past the stubborn Maple Leafs.  Yes, they finished things impressively, beating the Leafs in Toronto in Games 5 and 7 by identical 6-1 routs, but they were still taken to the brink and have only had Monday off to recover.  And Carolina should offer a much stiffer challenge than Toronto did, as evidenced by the 'Canes' suffocating attack throughout the series with Washington -- a very good team in its own right.  The 'Canes won the last meeting of these two in January and Florida is 5-9 in its last 14 revenging a same season loss on the road while Carolina is 8-0 in its last eight home games after a three-game win streak.  Take the 'Canes.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 6:45 pm, our selection is on the New York Mets over the Boston Red Sox.  The Mets signed RHP Kodai Senga to a five-year contract when he came over to the Majors from Japan in 2023.  He rewarded them right away with an All-Star campaign that season which featured a 12-7 record with a 2.98 ERA in 29 starts.  But last year was a lost season as shoulder and calf injuries limited Senga to just a single start.  Now 33-years-old, Senga is back and having his best season in the Majors so far.  In eight starts, Senga is 4-2 with a ridiculous 1.02 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 42 strikeouts in just over 44 innings.  He'll try to keep it going tonight against the Red Sox, a team he's faced only once before (July of 2023).  Senga is on quite a roll at home this season (only one ER in 20 1/3 innings) but he's been pretty incredible on the road as well with a 1.50 ERA in 24 innings away from Citi Field.  The Mets swept this series last season, taking all three meetings by a combined score of 19-6.  Take New York.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 3:30 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Denver.  The reason teams want home court advantage in the Playoffs is for a decisive Game 7.  And home teams have had a distinct advantage in these games.  Since 1990, they've gone 62-27, straight-up.  And if they were favored by more than 3 points, then they've gone 44-29-2 ATS.  Admittedly, the Nuggets have covered the spread in each of the last 4 games.  But NBA teams off 3+ ATS losses have gone 12-2 SU and 10-3-1 ATS in Game 7s.  Even better: the Nuggets are a nasty 46-108 ATS on the road off a point spread win, if their foe was off a loss and failed to cover the spread by 9+ points in its previous game.  OKC is a super 11-3 SU and 12-2 ATS at home in the playoffs following a double-digit loss.  And it is 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS its last seven at home off 3 ATS losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Seattle Mariners.  As regional match-ups go, this one is a great west-coast meeting of two of the best teams in their respective leagues.  Although the Padres have a better record than the M's, they have to contend with the Dodgers in the NL West so it's Seattle which is sitting prettier thanks to some very mediocre competition over in the AL.  Tonight, the Pads will send RHP Nick Pivetta to the mound for his ninth start of the season.  The 32-year-old is having a super season in his first campaign in San Diego as the Pads signed him to a very team-friendly four-year deal back in February.  In eight starts covering just over 44 innings, Pivetta is 5-2 with a 3.05 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 49 strikeouts and 14 walks.  But if you think that's impressive, check out Pivetta's numbers at his new home, Petco Park, this season: 4-0 with a 1.42 ERA and 0.63 WHIP in four starts covering just over 25 innings.  Take the Padres.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:00 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Maple Leafs +1.5 goals over the Florida Panthers. After losing the first two games in Toronto, the Panthers came back to win both Games 3 and 4 at home. But then Florida completely demolished Toronto on the latter's home ice, 6-1, in Game 5. As bad as that performance was for the Leafs, they have no choice but to put it behind them as the series switches back to south Florida tonight. Toronto is 4-0 this season (3-0 on the road) off 3+ losses, and they're 6-1 their last seven road games after allowing more than 5 goals.  Three of the first five games of this series have been decided by one goal.  Take the Leafs +1.5 goals tonight.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Kansas City Royals over the St. Louis Cardinals. In the last two seasons, Cole Ragans has emerged as one of the elite strikeout pitchers in the League. After a mini-breakout in 2023 in which he went 5-2 with a 2.64 ERA in 12 starts, Ragans put it all together last season in a full slate (32 starts). Although the 27-year-old RH saw his ERA rise to 3.14 in 2024, Ragans won 11 games and struck out 223 in 186 1/3 innings (a career-best 10.8 Ks per nine) while finishing fourth in the AL Cy Young. This season, Ragans has seen his ERA rise a bit more but the strikeout rate is even higher with the Florida native punching out over 14 per nine while lowering his walk rate as well (2.9 per nine). Ragans will get his ninth start of the season tonight and it will be his sixth at home. This is the first meeting of these two in 2025.  Last season, the Royals took three of four meetings with the Cards in the "I-70 Series." In 22 career inter-league games (15 starts) Ragans is 5-2 with a 3.35 ERA with 117 strikeouts in just under 97 innings. Take Kansas City. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Winnipeg Jets over the Dallas Stars. Here we are again on the cusp of a Presidents Trophy-winning team begin eliminated from the post-season in the first two rounds. With the Stars' 3-1 victory at home on Tuesday, they now lead the Jets by that same margin (3-1) and a victory tonight would put Dallas one series away from its fourth Cup Finals (not counting the two times that Minnesota got there before moving to Texas). But the Jets played very well in that fourth game in Dallas which could have easily gone their way as they out-shot the Stars 32-24. Look for them to come out with the same aggression tonight at home in a do-or-die situation and don't be surprised if they jump on the Stars early. The Stars are 0-3 in their last three road playoff games when leading in a series while the Jets are 16-5 in their last 21 when revenging a loss vs. an opponent at home. And in this year's playoffs, the Jets are 5-1 at home, compared to 0-5 on the road.  Finally, the Jets are a spectacular 57-18 (+25.3 net games) as a home favorite while Dallas is 18-24 (minus 2.8 net games) as a road underdog.  Take Winnipeg. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the UNDER in Game 6 between Denver and Oklahoma City.  We played on the UNDERS in Game 3 (our NBA Total of the Year) and Game 5, and got the $$$ in each.  And we will come right back with the Under in this Game 6.  The first two games of this series were very high-scoring, as they combined for 240 and 255 points. But all three games since have gone Under the total.  Game 3 only went for 217 -- and that game also went into Overtime.  Next, Game 4 saw the two teams manage just 179 points, and went under the total of 228 by 49.  Then, on Tuesday, the Under covered by 4.5 points, as OKC won, 112-105.  We'll look for the UNDER to come in for a 4th straight game on Thursday, as these two teams have now gone Under in 10 of the last 14 meetings.  And the Nuggets are also 9-2 UNDER in the Playoffs following a loss, while the Thunder are 24-9 UNDER in the Playoffs following a win. Take the UNDER in Game 6.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over New York.  The Knicks are now in the driver's seat to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals.  Boston's Jayson Tatum had surgery to repair his ruptured achilles, and will likely not return until the 2026-27 season.  And the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers were bounced from the Playoffs by the #4-seeded Indiana Pacers.  Although it will be quite difficult for the Celtics to win the next three games in this series, they certainly can win tonight.  And I believe they will rally as a team for this first game without their injured superstar.  Boston is 27-10 ATS off an upset Playoff defeat, including 7-1 ATS vs. a division rival.  Lay the points with Boston at home in Game 5.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

On Tuesday, at 9:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Oklahoma City/Denver game.  The first two games of this series went for 240 and 255 points.  We then had our NBA Total of the Year in Game 3, and that game only went for 217 -- in OVERTIME!  Then, Game 4 was even lower scoring, with just 179 points tallied.  So, it went under the total of 228 by a whopping 49 points.  We'll look for the UNDER to come in for a 3rd straight game on Tuesday, as these two teams have played 9 of their last 13 games UNDER the total.  And the Nuggets are 8-2 UNDER in the Playoffs following a loss, while the Thunder are 23-9 UNDER in the Playoffs following a win.  Take the UNDER.

At 7 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Indiana.  The Cavs were blown out by 20 points on Sunday night, and need to win three straight games to move on in the Playoffs.  They will have two of those three games at home, including this Game 5.  We'll fade Indiana, as teams seeded #4 (or worse) have covered just 39% in the playoffs since 1990 after a blowout win over their opponent by 20+ points, including 0-6-1 ATS their last seven.  Even better:  the Pacers are a poor 11-28 ATS off a home blowout win by 20+ points.  Lay the points in Game 5 with Cleveland.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, on Monday, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors + the points over Minnesota.  The Warriors dropped Games 2 + 3, and now trail 2-games-to-1 in this quarterfinal series.  We'll take Steve Kerr's men to bounce back on Monday, as the Warriors are an awesome 21-4 ATS in the Playoffs off a loss, if their foe was off back-to-back wins (including a perfect 7-0 ATS if the Warriors were off a home loss).  Additionally, road favorites (or PK) off back-to-back wins, that lead 2-games-to-1, have cashed just 38.4% since 1990.  Finally, Golden State also falls into 73-33, 68-27, 81-39 and 95-49 ATS playoff systems of mine.  Grab the points with the home underdog.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 7:30 pm, on Monday, our selection is on the UNDER in the Boston/New York game.  By all rights, all three of these games so far in this 7-game series should have gone UNDER the total.  Game 1 did not, but that was only due to an overtime session which allowed it to push the closing line of 213.  The game was tied at 100 at the end of regulation, so it was a bad beat for under bettors.  Games 2 + 3 DID go under the total.  And that's the way we'll look for this Game 4.  Indeed, Boston and New York are 35-23-1 UNDER the total in their last 59 meetings.  Additionally, the Celtics are 12-4 UNDER when they've trailed in a Playoff series, while the Knicks are 35-15 UNDER when they've led in a Playoff series.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:30 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Denver.  These two division rivals alternated wins in their four regular season meetings this season (each going 1-1 in its two home games).  So far in this playoffs, they're also alternating wins, with Denver notching victories in Games 1 + 3.  We'll lay the points with OKC, as NBA favorites of -4 (or more) points, playing back to back games against a division rival, have cashed 67% since 1990 if they were off a SU loss as a 4-point (or greater) favorite.  Additionally, the Thunder are 25-10 ATS off a playoff loss by 7+ points, including a perfect 6-0 ATS when favored by 4+ points.  Take OKC.  Good luck, as always....Al McMordie.

At 3:30 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over the New York Knicks.  Boston blew not one, but two 20-point leads in the first two games of this series.  It now finds itself with its back against the wall in Game 3.  I like Boston to bounce back, as it is 68-34 ATS off back to back ATS losses, and 20-2 ATS off back to back upset losses, if favored by 2+ points in its current game.  Additionally, defending NBA Champs have cashed 77.2% since 1990 as a road favorite (or PK) off a SU/ATS playoff loss.  Lay the points with Boston.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in Game 3 between Oklahoma City and Denver.  The Thunder put up 149 points in a 43-point blowout win on Wednesday.  We'll look for a lower-scoring game on Friday, as teams off 148+ point games have gone 15-6 UNDER their last 21.  Likewise, teams off 148+ point games have gone 83% UNDER in the Playoffs since 1990.  Denver has gone 13-5 UNDER its last 18 home playoff games (compared to 25-14 OVER on the road), while OKC has gone UNDER 16 of its last 24 road playoff games.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Winnipeg Jets over the Dallas Stars. The Jets lost the first game of this second round series, 3-2. Newly acquired Dallas forward Mikko Rantanen was the main culprit as the superstar had a natural hat trick in that first game on Wednesday, scoring all three of the Stars' goals in the second period. The Jets will need to neutralize Rantanen if they are going to have success the rest of the way.  The good news is that Winnipeg out-played the Stars for most of the game, out-shooting them in the third period by a lopsided 10-4 margin. The Jets did everything in that final 20 minutes except put the puck in the net and if they pick up tonight where they left off they should be fine. Winnipeg is 22-5 in 27 games this season when playing its second consecutive at home and it's also 5-1 in its last six revenging a home loss at home. Take the Jets. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Indiana.  The Pacers pulled off back to back upset wins at Cleveland to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series.  But off those 2 upsets we will fade Indiana on Friday night.  Indeed, the Pacers are a putrid 1-21 ATS off an upset win, if they also covered as an underdog two games back, and owned a .575 (or better) win percentage.  And NBA teams off back to back upset wins have cashed just 40.1% since 1990 when matched up against foes with a win percentage greater than .750.  Lay the points with Cleveland.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Cleveland/Indiana game.  The Pacers have won 4 straight games, by scores of 129-103, 119-118, 121-112 and 120-119.  And all four games went OVER the total.  We'll look for a lower-scoring game on Friday evening, as NBA Playoff games have gone UNDER 62% since 1990 if a team has scored 119+ points in its four previous games.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over the Golden State Warriors.  The Warriors won Game 1, but lost a key player when Steph Curry sustained a hamstring injury.  Curry will be listed as "day-to-day," but hamstring injuries have a tendency to linger.  We'll take Minnesota in Game 2, and go against Golden State which has won its last two games by 103-89 and 99-88 scores.  Unfortunately for the Warriors, teams off back to back double-digit road playoff wins have covered just 35.4% since 1990.  And the Warriors are also an awful 44-99 ATS off a point spread win, when playing a revenge-minded foe.  Take Minnesota.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Denver.  The Nuggets upset the Thunder for the 2nd straight meeting when they won, 121-119, on Monday in Game 1 of this quarterfinals match-up.  We'll lay the points with OKC in Game 2, as double-revenge-minded teams, favored by more than 10 points, have cashed 67.4% since May 1991 vs. division foes.  OKC also falls into another revenge system of mine which is 85-34 ATS since 1990.  And the Thunder are a terrific 41-21-2 ATS at home off an ATS loss when playing with double-revenge.  Finally, Denver is a dreadful 36-93-3 ATS on the road off a SU/ATS win, if its opponent was off a SU loss and failed to cover the spread by 9+ points in its previous game.  Take the Thunder minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over New York.  The Celts won all four regular season meetings vs. New York, and were 8-1 their last nine vs. the Knicks, going into Game 1.  Boston had a 75-55 lead in the 3rd quarter on Monday, and then collapsed, eventually losing in overtime, 108-105.  I expect Boston to bounce back strong in Game 2, as it is 26-9 ATS off an upset playoff loss, including 6-0 ATS vs. division rivals.  Additionally, NBA teams off home upset losses to #3-seeded division rivals in the Playoffs have cashed 75% since 1990.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:30 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over the Golden State Warriors.  We played on the Warriors as a 2.5-point underdog on Sunday night in Game 7 vs. Houston, and got the $$$ in a 103-89 upset win.  But off that upset, we'll fade Steph Curry & Co. on Tuesday.  Indeed, the Warriors are a woeful 15-29 ATS their last 44 games off a straight-up win, including 0-6 ATS off an upset win.  Even better:  Minnesota plays with revenge from an upset loss earlier this season.  When these teams last met, the Warriors upset the T-Wolves, 116-115, as 7-point road underdogs.  The good news for Minnesota is that it is a super 30-12 ATS vs. foes it lost to at home in the previous meeting.  Take the T-Wolves.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over the Indiana Pacers.  The Pacers won their 3rd straight game Sunday, 121-112, in a Game 1 win over the Cavaliers.  We'll fade Indiana on Tuesday, as NBA road teams have cashed just 43% since 1990 in the Playoffs off an upset win in Game 1, if they were on a 3-game win streak.  And NBA road dogs off 9-point (or greater) upset Playoff wins have cashed just 32% of match-ups vs. division rivals since 1990.  For the season, the Cavs have gone 68-19 SU and 51-35-1 ATS, while the Pacers were under water at 40-46-2 ATS.  And Indiana is 21-33 ATS off a win this season (6-10 ATS off an upset win).  Lay the points with Cleveland.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Denver.  The Thunder were the league's best team in the regular season (68-14), and are currently riding an 8-game win streak.  I won't step in front of this freight train right now, and especially not at home, where they have gone 37-6 SU and 30-12-1 ATS.  NBA teams on 8-game (or better) win streaks have gone 86-66 ATS in the NBA post-season.  And Denver is a poor 80-115 ATS on the road off a point spread win.  Lay the points with the Thunder.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors + the points over Houston.  The Warriors come into this game off back to back losses in Games 5 + 6.  Off those two defeats, we'll step in and take Steph Curry & Co. in Game 7.  Indeed, the Warriors are an awesome 11-3 ATS in the Playoffs following back to back losses, including a perfect 5-0 ATS on the road.  And they're 28-14 ATS when they've owned a winning record, and playing with double-revenge vs. .700 (or worse) foes.  Meanwhile, Houston is a poor 30-46-3 ATS when playing a .583 (or better) foe that is playing with double-revenge.  Take the Warriors + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Winnipeg Jets over the St. Louis Blues.  The home team has won all six games in this series, and I expect the home ice dominance to continue on Sunday.  The Jets are an awesome 21-3 this season as a home favorite, and 14-5 at home when revenging a loss.  Meanwhile, the Blues have dropped six straight road games.  Take Winnipeg.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the UNDER in the St. Louis/Winnipeg game.  The Blues tallied 5 goals on Friday, and I expect Connor Hellebuyck (who allowed those 5 goals on just 23 shots) to bounce back on Sunday.  Rather than focus on these last six games, where Hellebuyck has gone 3-3 with a 4.42 GAA and .815 save percentage, I prefer to look at the big picture.  This is still the same goalie who won the Vezina Trophy last season (and is a finalist this year, after going 47-12-3 with a 2.00 GAA and eight shutouts in the regular season).  The Jets have gone 139-104 UNDER their last 243.  And the Blues are 19-13 UNDER off 3+ overs.  Take the Blues/Jets UNDER the total.  Good luck, as always....Al McMordie.

At 7:15 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Kansas City Royals over the Baltimore Orioles.  Kris Bubic will get the start for the Royals this evening.  And he's compiled a strong 2.50 ERA through his first six starts (36 IP) this season.  This will be the 2nd time he's faced the Birds this season, and he allowed just 1 run over 6 2/3 innings back on April 6, in a 4-1 Royals win.  In his career, the Royals have gone 10-3 with Bubic, when priced as a favorite of -150 (or less).  And the Royals are 56-27 (+23.9 net games) vs. losing teams.  Take Kansas City.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over Denver.  The Nuggets blew out L.A., 131-115, in Game 5.  We'll fade Denver on the road in Game 6, as it is 0-14 ATS off a point spread win, and back to back wins, overall, if priced from +4 to +8, and matched up against an opponent  off a loss which failed to cover the spread by 9+ points in its previous game.  Lay the points with the Clippers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Knicks/Pistons game.  First Round Game 6s, with Over/Under lines of 210 (or more), have gone under 61.1% since 1990.  We'll take the under.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks + the points over Detroit.  The Knicks were upset at home in Game 5.  We'll take them on the road in Game 6, as they're 70-28 ATS on the road vs. .500 (or better) foes, if the Knicks were off an upset loss.  Grab the points.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers minus the points over the Minnesota Timberwolves.  The Lakers find themselves in a 3-1 hole in this Opening Round series after dropping Games 3 + 4 in Minneapolis.  We'll fade the Timberwolves on Wednesday, as they're a wallet-busting 85-105-1 ATS on the road off back to back SU/ATS wins, including 15-25 ATS as an underdog vs. revenge-minded foes.  Additionally, in this series, the revenge-minded team has gone 8-0 SU/ATS the last eight times when installed as the favorite.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Houston Rockets minus the points over the Golden State Warriors.  The Rockets lost Games 3 + 4, and are now down 3-games-to-1 to Steph Curry & Co.  We will fade Golden State off those two wins, as they're a brutal 39-60-1 ATS as a road underdog of less than 9 points off back to back wins, including 16-32-1 ATS vs. revenge-minded foes.  And Houston is a super 27-12-1 ATS in the playoffs off back-to-back losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Diamondbacks over the New York Mets.  Corbin Burnes was the hottest free-agent starter not from Japan this off-season.  And, although Baltimore tried to retain the 30-year-old former Cy Young winner, Burnes wanted to be closer to his home so he signed with the Diamondbacks.  His first five starts in an Arizona uniform has not exactly been the stuff of $200 million aces, as he has a 4.05 ERA, and has yet to notch a win (Arizona is 2-3 in those starts).  The veteran RH will make his third career start at Citi Field, and Burnes has a solid 1-0 record, and 2.31 ERA in 11 2/3 innings here previously.  Burnes has actually been better on the road throughout his career (31-17; 2.94 ERA) than at home (29-20; 3.48 ERA).  And his teams have gone 21-13 (+7.2 net games) on the road in his career when he's faced winning teams.  Take Arizona.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over Denver.  The Clippers were upset at home on Saturday, 101-99, when Aaron Gordon dunked in the game-winner at the buzzer.  We'll take Los Angeles as a road favorite tonight, as it is 24-11 ATS as a road favorite off a home upset defeat.  And it is 20-10 ATS on the road in the playoffs following a SU loss.  Lay the points.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Clippers/Nuggets Game 5.  We had our NBA Total of the Month on the UNDER in Game 3, and also played on the UNDER in Game 4.  Those two games went under, as did Games 1 and 2.  Indeed, these two teams have now gone 59-25-4 UNDER in the last 88 meetings.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  We'll take the UNDER once again, here, in Game 5, as the Nuggets have now played 20 of their last 27 playoff games under, while the Clippers are 26-16-2 under in their last 44 playoff games.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Texas Rangers -1.5 runs over the Athletics.  The Rangers knew in December 2022 when they signed dual Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom to a free agent contract that they were getting a former ace that had MAJOR injury problems over his last three seasons with the New York Mets.  And indeed, in his first two seasons in a Texas uniform, deGrom pitched a total of just 41 innings over nine starts.  But they say good things come to those who wait, so maybe -- just maybe -- this is the season that deGrom produces solid numbers as a full-time starter for the Rangers.  So far, so good, as the now-36-year-old RHP has made five starts and pitched to a 3.33 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 26 strikeouts and seven walks in 27 innings.  He's yet to win his first game, but perhaps that will happen tonight as the Rangers host the Athletics for the second time in this series.  Even though he's only made nine career starts here, deGrom seems to really like Globe Life Field with a 2.87 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in 47 innings in his new home ballpark.  Take the Rangers -1.5 runs.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks + the points over the Indiana Pacers.  The Bucks were favored by 4 points in Game 4, yet were walloped by Indiana, 129-103.  So, they failed to cover the spread by 30 points.  We'll take Milwaukee to bounce back, as road underdogs have cashed 63% since 1990 in the playoffs following a home game where they failed to cover the spread by 30+ points.  Take the Bucks.

At 10 pm, on Monday, our selection is on the Houston Rockets + the points over the Golden State Warriors.  Steph Curry & Co. won on Saturday, 104-93, to take a 2-games-to-1 series lead in this first-round match-up.  We'll take Houston to bounce back on this Monday.  The Warriors are a woeful 43-98-3 ATS off a point spread win, when playing a revenge-minded foe.  And the Rockets are 12-2 ATS as an underdog in the post-season of less than 5 points.  Take Houston.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Golden State/Houston game.  We played on the UNDER in Game 3, and got the $$$ in a 104-93 Golden State win.  That was the 7th straight game between these teams that has gone UNDER the total.  And the UNDER is also 50-26 the last 76 meetings.  Meanwhile, the Rockets are 6-0 UNDER their last six (and 25-10 UNDER their last 35) NBA Playoff games.  We'll ride with the UNDER yet again in Game 4.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers plus the points over Minnesota.  The #3-seeded Lakers lost Game 3, 116-104.  We'll take Los Angeles to bounce back, as #3 seeds have cashed 57.8% since 1990 in the first round of the playoffs following a SU/ATS loss to a #6 seed.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Pistons minus the points over New York.  These two teams have alternated victories through the first three games of this series.  With Detroit down 2-games-to-1, and playing Game 4 at home, we'll lay the points with the Pistons.  Indeed, home favorites down 2-games-to-1 have cashed 63.8% since 1990 off a SU/ATS loss in Game 3.  Take Detroit.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors to go UNDER the total.  We played against Golden State in Game 2 and got the $$$ in a 15-point Rockets victory.  Off that loss by the Warriors, we're going to take the UNDER in Game 3.  Over the last 13 seasons, the Warriors have gone 33-12 UNDER off a playoff defeat, including 9-0 UNDER when the line was 207 (or less) points.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the under in the Denver/Los Angeles Clippers game.  We cashed our NBA Total of the Month on the under in Game 3 of this series.  And that under moved this Clippers/Nuggets series' record to 58-25-4 UNDER the total in the last 87 meetings.  We will look for yet another low-scoring game this evening in Game 4, as the Nuggets have played 19 of their last 26 playoff games under, while the Clippers have gone 25-16-2 UNDER in their last 43 playoff games..  Take the under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat to go UNDER the total.  The Cavs have scored 121 points in back-to-back wins to open this series.  But off those two high-scoring games at home, we'll look for a lower-scoring affair on Saturday in Game 3.  Indeed, NBA teams have gone 65% under since 1990 in road playoff games after back-to-back home playoff games where they scored more than 120 points.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over the Los Angeles Lakers.  We'll lay the points with the 6th-seeded T-Wolves, as #6 seeds have gone 25-7 SU and 21-10-1 ATS when favored over #3-seeds in Game 3 of a series.  Take Minnesota.

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Minnesota/Los Angeles game.  These two teams played unders in Games 1 and 2, and they've now played six straight unders this season.  Even better:  19 of the last 25 meetings between these teams have gone UNDER the total.  We'll look for that to continue in Game 3.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:00 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Indiana.  Indy took Games 1 +2 by scores of 117-98 and 123-115.  Off those two wins, we'll fade the Pacers in Game 3, as they're 29-62 ATS on the road vs. foes off back-to-back SU/ATS wins, if the game was competitively-priced with a point spread of 5 or less.  Take Milwaukee.

At 10 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the UNDER in the Denver Nuggets/Los Angeles Clippers game.  The first two games of this series went under the total, and that's also the way we will look for Game 3.  Indeed, these two teams have largely played low-scoring games when they've gotten together, as the UNDER is now 57-25-4 the last 86 meetings!  Additionally, the Nuggets have played 18 of their last 25 playoff games under, while the Clippers have gone 24-16-2 UNDER in their last 42 playoff games.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:00 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the New York Knicks over the Detroit Pistons.  The Pistons upset New York, 100-94, in Game 2.  We'll fade Detroit off that win, as it is 10-36 ATS at home off a win by more than 5 points.  Additionally, the Knicks are 69-28 ATS on the road off an upset loss, if matched up against a .500 (or better) foe.  Take New York.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
