05-20-21 | Panthers +115 v. Lightning | Top | 6-5 | Win | 115 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
Florida at Tampa Bay 6:30 ET Panthers over Lightning- We posted the road favorite Tampa bay in the first two games at Florida and today with a staying with the road clubs although they are now underdogs. The Panthers played well during the regular season against Tampa Bay and will have Chris Driedger in the net and he allows just 2.07 goals per start. Florida is No. 1 in shots on goal per game and are 4-1 in their last five road games and 6-2 in their last eight overall despite the pair of playoff losses to the Lightning. Take the PANTHERS! |

05-19-21 | Warriors v. Lakers UNDER 219 | Top | 100-103 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
Golden State at L.A. Lakers 10:00 ET Warriors/Lakers (UNDER)- I'm going to be forced to bombard you with stats and trends for this selection and you'll understand why I like it so. Start with the season records of both clubs as Golden State is 30/42 to the Under on the season and the Lakers were 28/43 to the under. GS is 19-7 Under on the road and the under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings. LA #2 defense and #22 offense playing right into the total. Curry under average by 9-points against LA. Play UNDER! |

05-19-21 | Spurs +4 v. Grizzlies | Top | 96-100 | Push | 0 | 10 h 14 m | Show |
San Antonio at Memphis 7:30 ET Spurs (+) over Grizzlies- San Antonio has staggered to the finish line as they have dropped their last four and 10 of their last 12 straight up and are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs. But, there is a key factor in their favor and that is their road record where they are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 games away from the Alamo. Memphis is 1-4 ATS in their last five games and 0-4 ATS in their last four games as home favorites. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

05-19-21 | Rays v. Orioles -113 | Top | 9-7 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Baltimore 7:05 ET Orioles over Rays- It might appear that order has been restored with Tampa bay having won five in-a-row and the Orioles having lost 5-of-6. But, Baltimore has a budding ace in John Means (4-0, 1.21 ERA) who is the real deal and he is 3-1 with a 3.25 ERA in five appearances against Tampa. The Rays will start Ryan Yarbrough (2-3, 4.20) and he is 3-1 with a 3.24 ERA against the O's. They stop the bleeding here. Take BALTIMORE! |

05-18-21 | Lightning -117 v. Panthers | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Florida 8:00 ET Lightning over Panthers- Florida defeated Tampa Bay twice in the final week of the regular season winning 5-1 and 4-0 to gain home ice for this playoff season. In Game 1 (Megabucks winner) the Lightning turned the tables and won 5-4 to negate the Panthers home ice advantage. The Panthers will be without one of their top players as center San Bennett has been suspended for this game for 'boarding' and that will hurt. The fact that Tampa bay is the favorite on the road might be surprising but they are 5-1 in their last six Playoff games as road favorites and are 13-6 in the last 19 meetings. Take TAMPA BAY! |

05-18-21 | Nationals -110 v. Cubs | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 32 m | Show |
Washington at Chicago Cubs 7:40 ET Nationals over Cubs- Sort of a 'Tale of Two Cities' for Chicago starter Zack Davies (2-2, 5.60 ERA) who had a 9.46 ERA in five April starts has turned it around in May posting a 1.10 ERA in three starts covering 16.1 innings. In four career starts against the nationals he is 3-0 with a 2.39 ERA and he is pitted against Patrick Corbin (2-3, 6.19) who is 5-2 with a 3.80 ERA in eight career starts against the Cubs. Washington who is 4-1 at Chicago is 23-7 against the NL Central but just 10-23 against right-handed starters. Still, it is WASHINGTON! |

05-18-21 | Hornets +3 v. Pacers | Top | 117-144 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 19 m | Show |
Charlotte at Indiana 6:30 ET Hornets (+) over Pacers- The Hornets have lost five straight after blowing an 11-point fourth quarter lead against Washington Sunday while Indiana posted a road win at Toronto. That was the Pacers 21 win on the road (21-15) whereas they have won just 13 of 36 at home with an ATS record of 13-23 as hosts. That to me is important as the Hornets are 21-7-1 ATS on the road against teams with losing home records. Losers of 15 of their last 21 games overall the Hornets have struggled since Gordon Hayward went down on April 2 and he is not expected to play tonight. The slack with him being sidelined is being picked up by Rookie-of-the-Year candidate La Melo Ball (believe it or not). Take CHARLOTTE! |

05-17-21 | Nationals v. Cubs -145 | Top | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
Washington at Chicago Cubs 7:40 ET Cubs over Nationals- The pitching mainstay of the Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series victory Jon Lester (0-1, 2.25 ERA) returns the the Windy City to face his former teammates. Now, hurling for Washington he has a lifetime 2-0 record against the Cubs while Chicago will send youngster Adbert Alzolay (1-3, 4.50) to the hill who has surrendered just six walks in his seven starts while striking out 32. The Nationals are 2-6 as underdogs and Chicago is 5-1 in their last six at home. Take CHICAGO! |

05-17-21 | Bruins -130 v. Capitals | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
Boston at Washington 7:15 ET Bruins over Capitals- It's time for the Bruins to put the skates on as the Stanley Cup chase has them down 0-1 losing Game 1 3-2 in OT. Both clubs finished the regular season playing their best hockey as Boston is 12-4-1 in their last 17 and the Capitols were 11-4-1 down the stretch. These two split eight games this season each winning four with a pair of Washington wins in overtime. Caps average 3.4 goals while Bruins only allow 2.4 goals per game and in the playoffs defense in clue. Take BOSTON! |

05-16-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -10.5 | Top | 116-132 | Win | 100 | 13 h 33 m | Show |
Denver at Portland 9:00 ET Trailblazers (-) over Nuggets- Portland 'just' needs to win here or see a loss by the Lakers to clinch a coveted top-six position for the playoffs. The Blazers own the tie-breaker edge with L.A. and will be focused for this encounter as they rebound from a 118-117 loss at Phoenix. Denver has won both meetings this season and yet now Portland opened as an 8.5-point favorite and they have not been favored by more than 3.5-points in the last 10 meetings. Take the TRAILBLAZERS! |

05-16-21 | Lightning -116 v. Panthers | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Florida 7:30 ET Lightning over Panthers- My leading South Florida knuckle-head believes that he 'knows-it-all' and loves the Panthers here. He says they are faster and skate better and he may be right as they have won the last two meetings by a total score of 9-1. Both of those meetings were on the Panthers ice and they were favored, and they won as favorites, now in the playoffs same two teams, same location and they are underdogs. Tampa goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is 31-10-1 and allows just 2.21 gpg. Tampa Bay is the favorite here and I expect them to win. LIGHTNING STRIKES! |

05-16-21 | A's v. Twins -107 | Top | 7-6 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
Oakland at Minnesota 2:10 ET Twins over A's- The Twins ended a 5-game losing streak Saturday as Miguel Sano hit his first homer in 20 games in their come-back 5-4 win. Minnesota one of the favorites in the Al Central has the worst record in the AL with just 13 wins in 37 games. This afternoon they will send Kenta Maeda (2-2, 5.35 ERA) to the hill and he has had just two quality starts in seven attempts. Oakland will put Chris Bassitt (3-2, 3.54) on the bump and he has been consistent giving up just two runs in six straight starts. Still, the Twins got a taste of victory last night and they liked it and will do it again today. Take MINNESOTA! |

05-15-21 | Heat -120 v. Bucks | Top | 108-122 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 56 m | Show |
Miami at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Heat (+) over Bucks- This may very well be a preview of the No. 3 and No. 6 seeds playing each other once the playoffs start. Milwaukee has the highest scoring offense in the league, yes even higher than Brooklyn scoring 120.2 ppg. But, Miami is built on defense and a disciplined offense that will actually draw more fouls and win this one at the free throw line. The Heat are just a tougher team with more grit than the Bucks and are 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to the 'Brew City.' Take MIAMI! |

05-15-21 | Bruins -123 v. Capitals | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -123 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
Boston at Washington 7:15 ET Bruins over Capitals- It's time to put the skates on as the Stanley Cup chase has begun. Both clubs finished the regular season playing their best hockey as Boston is 12-4-1 in their last 17 and the Capitols were 11-4-1 down the stretch. These two split eight games this season each winning four with a pair of Washington wins in overtime. Caps average 3.4 goals while bruins only allow 2.4 goals per game and in the playoffs defense in clue. Take BOSTON! |

05-15-21 | Angels -110 v. Red Sox | Top | 0-9 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
L. A. Angels at Boston 4:10 ET Angels over Red Sox- The Red Sox have to be one of the biggest surprises to date as they lead the A.L. East and their 24 wins have them tied with Oakland for most wins in the league. Los Angeles is once again under .500 and they will send winless Dylan Bundy (0-4, 5.03 ERA) to the mound to face Boston's winless Martin Perez (0-2, 4.01). Perez hasn't gotten through the fifth inning in ant of his seven starts while Bundy is off a horrid performance against the Dodgers surrendering six runs ion five hits in 3.1 innings. This time he gets the money. Take the ANGELS! |

05-14-21 | Pelicans +2 v. Warriors | Top | 122-125 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
New Orleans at Golden State 9:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Warriors- Really now, the Steph Curry led Warriors opened less than a 3-point favorite at home against the Williamson-less Pelicans. This price stands out because of how 'hot' Golden State is having won four straight and six of their last seven games overall while New Orleans has dropped their last two without their 'big stud' but they are still 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. They are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games and 5-1 ATS after a SU loss. But, the main factor is that this game means nothing to the Warriors their final game Sunday against Memphis will determine their seeding. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

05-14-21 | Reds v. Rockies -107 | Top | 6-9 | Win | 100 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Colorado 8:40 ET Rockies over Reds- Cincinnati who leads the 'Majors' in runs scored will send Wade (No-hit) Miley (4-2, 2.00 ERA) to the mound for the first time since his pitching gem. Despite scoring more runs per game than any other team the Reds are a game under .500 and are just 7-11 on the road. Colorado is even worst on the road where they are 2-14 but are over .500 at home and are 12-10 when playing at Coors Field. The Reds are 2-7 in their last nine against the NL West including 1-4 in their last five games in Colorado. As bad as the Rockies appear they are 4-1 against teams with losing records. Take COLORADO! |

Denver at Minnesota 8:00 ET T'wolves (+) over Nuggets- Denver has been winning and winning without leading scorer Jamal Murray and are seeded fourth one-game behind the Clippers. Minnesota has won back-to-back games and six of the last nine and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings with Denver. The Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games and 2-6 ATS against teams with losing records. The timberwolves are playing their best ball of the season (now that's it's ending) and are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Take MINNESOTA! |

New York Yankees at Tampa Bay 7:10 ET Yankees over Rays- The are called the 'Bronx Bombers' and they have won their last four and 9-of-11 have been getting it done with pitching. In New York's current four-game win streak they scored 1, 3, 3 and 4 runs while allowing just six (three earned). The Yankees will start Jameson Taillon (1-2, 5.02 ERA) and he last faced the Rays in 2017 tossing 6.1 shutout innings while Tampa Bay starter Rich hill m(1-1, 5.17) is 2-2 with a 5.06 ERA in 12 appearances against New York. Although, The Yanks have struggled in Tampa they are the hot side right now. Take NY YANKEES! |

Portland at Utah 9:30 ET Trailblazers (+) over Jazz- Utah still have a chance for the No. 1 spot in the West with a two-game lead in the loss column over Phoenix with three games remaining. Portland is seeded No. 7 but with wins in 2-of-their-3 final games will move them into the sixth seed. The Blazers have won four straight and eight of nine but have lost both meetings with the Jazz by an average of 19.5 points and are 5-1 ATS in their lat six road games. Utah has been great at home going 31-4 SU and 23-12 ATS but fall short here. Take PORTLAND! |

05-12-21 | Phillies -130 v. Nationals | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 8 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Washington 7:05 ET Phillies over Nationals- For a team that is just 6-11 on the road the Phillies are a heavy favorite at Washington tonight. Starting pitching is the strongest factor as Philadelphia will send Zack Wheeler (3-2, 2.83 ERA) to the mound and is 20 starts against the Nationals he is a meager 6-11 with a 4.64 ERA. One should consider that these starts against the Nat's were when they had a line-up that was postseason worthy, not so much any more. Veteran left-hander Jon Lester (0-1, 2.70) gets the nod for Washington and he has dominated the Phillies when pitching for the Cubs going 8-1 with a 1.92 ERA in 11 starts. But, 'it's a new dawn darling,' as it's been over five years since Lester has faced them. Philadelphia is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings and the Nats are 1-5 as underdogs in their last six. Take the PHILLIES! |

Minnesota at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET Twins over White Sox- The White Sox have moved into first place in the AL Central after sweeping a 3-game set against Kansas City. Minnesota has struggled to date and have lost four of their last five and have scored just 17 runs in those five contests. The Twins will send Kenta Maeda (2-2, 5.34 ERA) to the hill and he is coming off his best start of the season and is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in three starts against Chicago. Chicago will start Dylan Cease (2-0, 2.37) and his appearances against the Twins have not gone well. He is 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA giving up 14 runs and 11.2 innings. Considering the White Sox fine home record and Minny's road record and their current play this 'line' is way low and too inviting. Take MINNESOTA! |

05-11-21 | Mavs v. Grizzlies +1.5 | Top | 104-133 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
Dallas at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Mavericks- Dallas is currently the no. 5 seed in the West and are on a 4-game in streak and have won 10 of their last 12. This has given them a chance to clinch a spot in the top-6 with a combination of two wins or losses by the Lakers. Memphis is seeded ninth and have at least clinched a spot for the 'play-ins' and are playing tough as underdogs going 8-1 ATS in that role the nine times. The Grizzlies are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games and get the cash here. Take MEMPHIS! |

05-10-21 | Wizards v. Hawks -7.5 | Top | 124-125 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 29 m | Show |
Washington at Atlanta 7:03 ET Hawks (-) over Wizards- 'Outrageous!' That's right this 'line' is OUTRAGEOUS! Here is Washington, on a two-game winning streak and one of the hottest teams in the NBA since the All-Star game an 8-point underdog at Atlanta. The Wizards are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall and are 6-1 ATS as road underdogs after a win over Indiana while the Hawks are off a loss to the Pacers. Atlanta is 21-7 ATS in their last 28 home games and 13-4 Ats as favorites! Take ATLANTA! |

05-09-21 | Phillies -105 v. Braves | Top | 1-6 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:00 ET Phillies over Braves- What an improbable 8-7 win the Braves posted last night against the Phillies as they scored twice in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game, scored another run in the bottom of the 11th inning to tie it once again and then scored four runs in the bottom of the 12th for the victory. Philadelphia's bullpen blew the lead three times while they committed three errors in the final innings. I look for the Phillies to bounce back with Aaron Nola (3-1, 2.89 ERA) on the mound while Atlanta will start Hiascar Ynoa (3-1, 2.36) who hit a grand slam of his own last time out. This time his hitting won't be enough. Take the PHILLIES! |

05-09-21 | Heat +1.5 v. Celtics | Top | 130-124 | Win | 100 | 4 h 21 m | Show |
Miami at Boston 1:00 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- There is no doubt how much stronger the Heat are with Jimmy Butler in the lineup as with him back they have won their last 4-of-5 and eight of 11 while Boston has lost six of their past 10 games. This is a rematch of the 2020 Eastern Conference Finals when Miami got the best of the Celtics in six games. They have met once this season with Boston winning at Miami 107-105 and this time it's the Heats turn. Miami is 7-2 ATS in their last nine games in Boston while the Celtics are 2-5-1 ATS as home favorites. Take MIAMI! |

San Antonio at Portland 10:00 ET Spurs (+) over Trailblazers- The Spurs just broke a 5-game losing streak with a 113-104 win at Sacramento last night and play in Portland against the hot Blazers who have won six of their last seven games. In a turn-around from the past two seasons San Antonio has played better on the road going 22-10-1 ATS with 19 outright wins. Despite the losing record the Spurs are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games overall showing great effort and they are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 road games. Trouble here are as Portland is 0-5 ATS in their last five as home favorites and 8-20-2 ATS against teams with winning road records. Take the SPURS! |

05-07-21 | Mariners +110 v. Rangers | Top | 5-4 | Win | 110 | 10 h 32 m | Show |
Seattle at Texas 8:00 ET Mariners over Rangers- It is no wonder the Mariners were no-hit last time out by Baltimore's John Means as and have they just one player hitting above .250 and MLB team low batting average of .201. Texas will start Mike Foltynewicz (1-3, 4.43 ERA) who had a rough start to the season but is 1-0 with a 3.12 ERA in his last three starts but he is 0-2 with na 9.45 ERA lifetime against the Mariners. Seattle will start Chris Flexen (2-1, 3.33) and they are 14-4 in their last 18 games after a loss and 4-0 after a day off.

Boston at Chicago 7:30 ET Bulls (+) over Celtics- For the first time in over a year there will be fans inside the Unites Center in Chicago as the Bulls host the Boston Celtics. Boston is struggling to stay in the top-6 for the NBA playoffs and are 3-4 SU in their last seven games and 2-5 ATS in their last seven overall. Chicago is off a 120-99 Megabucks win last night at Charlotte and are 13-6 ATS at home against teams with losing road records. Boston is 6-14 ATS in their last 20 following an ATS win and are 0-4 ATS after a SU win. Take CHICAGO! |

Chicago at Charlotte 7:00 ET Bulls (-) over Hornets- Okay, let me get this straight the Chicago Bulls are 26-39 on the season and the home Hornets are 32-33 and fighting for a playoff seed. Chicago has dropped their last four while and 11 of 15 and yet the odds-maker has deemed they the favorite on the road here and they are 5-2 ATS as road favorites. Charlotte is 1-4 ATS in their last five games and 1-5 ATS in their last six games as underdogs. Bulls are 1-5 ATS in their last six trips at Charlotte and are the dog herfe. This one smells.

New York Mets at St. Louis 1:15 ET Mets over Cardinals- The 'price' of this game has me baffled as the below .500 Mets are favored on the road at St. Louis against the first-place (18-13) Cardinals. This becomes even more pronounced went we look at the starting pitching. The Red Birds will send John Gant (2-2, 2.16 ERA) to the mound and he has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his five starts and is 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA in seven appearances against the Mets. New York will start Taijuan Walker (1-1, 3.00) who is 0-1 with a 3.50 ERA against the Cardinals. Add that the Mets are 2-7 in the last nine meetings and 20-42 in the last 62 meetings in St. Louis...and yet looks who's favored. Take NEW YORK! |

Phoenix at Atlanta 8:00 ET Hawks (+) over Suns- How is this for an improbable overtime win and cover by the Suns last night in Cleveland. As a 12.5-point favorite Phoenix was forced to go overtime against the lowly Cavaliers and then went on a 15-0 run in OT to both win and cover 134-118 and that win pushed them into a tie for the top spot in the West with Utah. Atlanta is getting healthier with Bogdan Bogdanovic returning to action and they have won their last two. I don't see how the Suns will rise here after last night overtime game as they are 2-8 ATS after a SU win and 1-4-1 ATS in their last six as road favorites. Take ATLANTA! |

Golden State at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans over Warriors- Golden State has pushed the Pelicans virtually out of the NBA playoff chase as they now trail San Antonio by 3.5-games with seven games remaining. This game take even more importance as New Orleans embarks on a five-game road trip after this and finished the season with their final home game. Curry has been at his best but the Warriors are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as underdogs. New Orleans is 5-1 ATS after a loss of 10-points or more but are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as home favorites. They streak ends tonight. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

The Angels multi-talented do it all pitcher, first-baseman, outfielder and DH Shohei Ohtani (1-0, 3.29 ERA) will get to start on the mound tonight and last year's AL Champions. Ohtani has has seen limited action on the bump this season having worked just 13.2 total innings striking out 23 and allowing just six hits. His pitching opponent today will be Tyler Glasnow (3-1, 1.67) who has allowed only 19 hits in 37.2 innings with 56 strikeouts.

Trae Young is back for Atlanta after missing four games and Kevin Hunter returned yesterday with Bogan Bogdanovic returning tonight. The hawks fly high tonight...take ATLANTA! |

Brooklyn at Milwaukee 3:30 ET Nets over Bucks- A pair of the NBA's top contenders face-off with clubs that look like that have already been to battle. Brooklyn was without Kevin Durant, Bruce Brown, Nic Clayton and of course James Harden while the Bucks have been without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Nets are no longer the league top scoring team with harden out for the past month as the Bucks now have that honor averaging 119.3 PPG. Brooklyn is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in Milwaukee and the Bucks are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as home favorites. Take BROOKLYN! |

Denver at LA Clippers 10:00 ET Clippers (-) over Nuggets- These two are about as close as you can get as they both have 21 losses with the Clippers having 43 wins and Denver 42. With nine games to go both clubs realize this is just one-game and they both will be without the leading scorers. Jamal Murray is out for the Nuggets and Kawhi Leonard has missed the last three weeks. Denver is 8-1 without Murray and have won four straight and are meeting the Clippers who have lost their last two on the road and return home to host a conference rival and the Clippers are 6-1 ATS in last seven as home favorites. Take LOS ANGELES |

Portland trails Dallas by one-game for the all important sixth seed and will be playing at full strength. This one belongs to the Trailblazers. Take PORTLAND! |

Oakland at Tampa Bay 1:10 ET Rays over A's- Tampa Bay seems able to put out a quality team on the field no matter who has come and gone and will send first time starter Shane McClanahan to the hill and he will be making his regular season MLB debut. Actually McClanahan was the first pitcher to ever make his MLB debut in the playoffs as he got a start in last year's postseason. Oakland will start Chris Bassitt who is 2-2 with impressive outings against dregs like Detroit and Baltimore. The Rays are 52-22 in their last 74 home games while the A's are 3-8 on astroturf and just 1-4 in the last five meetings. Take TAMPA BAY! |

The Royals will start Mike Minor (2-1, 4.64 ERA) who is off his best performance of the season taking a no-hitter into the sixth before allowing two runs at Detroit. Pittsburgh starter is also off a game against the Tigers but he didn't fare as well allowing a pair of homers struggling with his command. Teams win games and the Bucs should win this one.

New Orleans is off tough 2-point loss to the Spurs but have had their highest scoring total of the season against the Clips scoring 135 in a victory over LA in March. For whatever reason the Pelicans give the Clippers fits as they are 21-7 ATS in the last 28 meetings. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

He is 7-3 with a 3.10 ERA lifetime against the Phillies. Philadelphia is starting Zack Wheeler (1-2, 3.80) who after a great start but has faltered in his next three starts allowing 10 runs on 22 hits in 16.2 innings and he is 0-2 with a 5.87 ERA lifetime against the Cardinals.

The Spurs holds a 3.5-game lead over the Pelicans and this game will be the tie-breaker if it comes down to that at season's end. New Orleans I off their biggest margin of victory this season defeating Orlando 135-100 on Thursday and I expect a drop off in performance here. San Antonio is 5-1 ATS in their last six road games while New Orleans is 4-9 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Milwaukee at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Brewers over Cubs- For years I have used the 13-run rule...what is it? Well, over the years in MLB we have found that when a team gets blasted by 13-runs or more, they respond to their embarrassment with a big effort. Milwaukee will send Freddy Peralta (2-0, 2.00 ERA) to the hill and he will be opposed by Adbert Alzolay (0-2, 6.10). The Brewers are 5-1 I their last six games on the road and are 5-2 in their last seven meetings in Chicago. The Cubs are just 3-9 against right-handers at home and are a go against here.

Cincinnati's Sonny Gray (0-0, 4.15 ERA) will make his second start of the season for his struggling clubs that has lost four straight at home while St. Louis has dropped eight of their last 11 and will be starting Kwang Hyun Kim (0-0, 9.00). Kim won both his starts as a rookie against Cincy last year while Gray was 0-1 with a 10.80 ERA in two starts against the Red Birds. So, may question here is why are the Reds favored bat St. Louis.

Phoenix is vastly improved this year but so much so that they are this strong a favorite non the road against the Eastern Conference leader. The Suns have won 13-of-15 including an outright win over the 76ers last night and are 10-4 ATS playing with no rest.

New York Mets at Chicago Cubs 7:40 ET Mets over Cubs- I don't like laying this kind of number on the road especially a team coming off a loss. New York will send left-hander David Peterson (1-1, 6.30 ERA) to the mound against the Cubs. He has had two starts both against the Phillies and he was bombed the first time out and responded with a great performance the second time around allowing one run on three hits with 10 strikeouts and zero walks! Zach Davies (1-2, 10.32) gets the nod for Chicago and he has been a horror show and is 3-2 with a 5.06 ERA in seven starts against the Mets. New York is 5-17 their last 22 games in Chicago and yet after a loss yesterday they are a strong favorIte here. Take the M-E-T-S! |

But, the Wizards have won five in-a-row and 7-of-8 including a 110-107 win at Golden State while the Warriors are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven meetings in Washington. Take the WIZARDS! |

Phoenix at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Suns over 76ers- Phoenix is the most improved team in the league (yes even more so than the Knicks) so much so that they are favored on the road against the Eastern Conference leader. Philadelphia is always a question mark when it comes to the line on the game because players claim injuries so often. Of course Embiid and Simmons are the most important factors but when you add Tobias Harris to the list their depth falls fast. The Suns are an amazing 36-21 ATS on the season and are 10-2 ATS on the road against teams with winning records. Take PHOENIX! |

So now, New Orleans is the host and somehow become the favorite. Brooklyn is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as road underdogs and the Pelicans are just 6-13 ATS as home favorites. Tell me how this makes any sense as the Nets are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. As a matter of fact this is now my 'Don't Make Sense' game of the day. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Arizona at Cincinnati 6:40 ET Diamondbacks over Reds- I tried to avoid this one but it keeps coming back at me. We are aware that Arizona is one of the weaker teams in the NL and that Cincinnati a playoff team last year plays their best at home. Reds lost their first home game of the season and once again yesterday but managed six wins between those losses. The D'backs won 5-2 Sunday at Washington and will be sending Zac Gallen (0-0, 2.25 ERA) to the mound and is just 0-1 lifetime against the Reds while Cincy will send Luis Castillo (1-1, 7.04) who is 2-4 lifetime against Arizona. Castillo was bombed in his first start and has yet to be sharp this season. Take the DIAMONDBACKS! |

San Francisco is off to a quick start at 9-6 and will be sending nine year veteran Kevin Gausman ((0-0, 3.20 ERA) to the mound who has lasted six innings in all of his three previous starts has yet to get a decision. Philadelphia will start 33-year-old Chase Anderson (0-1, 4.00) who is 3-2 with a 4.76 ERA in nine career starts against the Jints. Wiz-kids are great at home but an underdog here...Take the GIANTS! |

The Astros will start newcomer Jake Odorizzi (0-1, 13.50 ERA) and he is 1-3 with a 4.24 ERA in eight career starts against Seattle.

Miami dropped their third straight game Friday night to lowly Minnesota and he says that his teammates 'take too much for granted.' Well, they would be able to take anything for granted today as the Nets come to South Beach. The Heat after winning the East last season find themselves currently a seventh seed as injuries and virus protocols have hindered their season. Brooklyn must be a Saturday night 'party' team as thy are 1-7 ATS on Sunday's and 4-10 in their last 14 games as favorites. Take MIAMI! |

Cleveland as expected hasn't seem much better losing 3-of-4 and eight of 11 and will be missing two back court players as well. Good news (maybe) for Cleveland is that Kevin Love has returned to action and should help (?). Although the Cavs are just 6-14 ATS in the last 20 meetings they are 4-1 ATS in Chicago.

The Cardinals will start Kwang Hyun Kim in his season debut and he was terrible in the spring posting a 16.2- ERA in five inning.

So, it looks like Dallas has a mind set that they will finish 7, 8, 9 or 10th will have to deal with the silly playoff scheduling. Memphis has struggled against Dallas at home as they are just 1-5 ATS hosting the Mavs but are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs.

Now, Portland comes up a virtual pick'em against a Boston team that is 11-6 on the road while the 31-22 Blazers are 16-11 at home.

Washington at St. Louis 7:45 ET Cardinals over Nationals- It hasn't been such a great start for Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (1-0, 5.23 ERA) but it's been even worse for the Nationals. At least Flaherty got some run support and was able to post a win while shutting down the Marlins while Washington starter Stephen Strasburg (0-0, 0.00) like deGrom get little support. St. Louis has dominated this series at home going 40-17 over the Nats in the last 57 meetings ans Washington is a mere 3-12 in their last 15 games against right-handed starters. Take ST. LOUIS! |

The Trailblazers on the other hand now with the return of CJ McCollum have one of the best guard tandems in the NBA. Miami who is off a narrow win over the Lakers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and the Blazers are 0-5 ATS in their last five against teams with winning records. Take MIAMI! |

Toronto is 20-32 SU and 21-31 ATS on the season and the Cavaliers are 19-32 SU and 21-30 ATS. Cleveland returns home after winning their last two on the road by 24 and 27 points and they are an underdog to the reeling Raptors who have lost their last two and 6-of-8. What makes this 'line' even more questionable is that Toronto is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 meetings in Cleveland. This one stinks...take the RAPTORS! |

04-10-21 | Brewers +102 v. Cardinals | Top | 9-5 | Win | 102 | 5 h 11 m | Show |
Milwaukee at St. Louis 2:15 ET Brewers over Cardinals- Doesn't this 'price' seem a bit cheap to you...it does to me. St. Louis has won four straight after opening 1-2 against Cincinnati and then swept Miami in three games before defeating the Brewers 3-1 on Thursday. It is surprising to me that the Red Birds are such a small favorite especially when one tracks Milwaukee's play to date as they have scored 2.3 RPG in their last six games overall and will be facing Carlos Martinez who is 6-5 with a 2.29 ERA in 29 career games against the Brewers. Adrian Houser (0-1, 3.60 ERA) starts for the Brew Crew and gets the win herfe. Take MILWAUKEE! |

04-09-21 | Bulls +2 v. Hawks | Top | 108-120 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
Chicago at Atlanta 8:10 ET Bulls (+) over Hawks- Chicago has matched their season high winning streak with three straight victories and bring it to Atlanta where the Hawks just had a 4-game winning streak of their own ended by (Megabucks winner) Memphis. Bulls look to avenge a 124-104 loss in the first meeting back in late December and are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings including 5-0 ATS in the last five in Atlanta. Chicago is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games including 11-4 ATS as road dogs. Take CHICAGO! |

04-09-21 | Phillies +115 v. Braves | Top | 1-8 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:20 ET Phillies over Braves- Philadelphia who shored up their lineup in the off season has done it with pitching so far and their stall-worth starter has been Zack Wheeler (1-0, 0.00 ERA) who shut down Atlanta in his first start. The Phillies staff is hurling to a 2.62 ERA and allowing opponents a .191 average. The Braves meanwhile have struggled on offense (having faced the Phillies) scoring just 3.21 runs per game and are hitting .170 as a team. This is the Bravo's home Opener but they are 1-6 against the Phillies in their last seven meetings. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

04-08-21 | Angels +107 v. Blue Jays | Top | 7-5 | Win | 107 | 11 h 58 m | Show |
L.A. Angels vs Toronto 7:15 ET Angels over Blue Jays- Ya know, 'it's kind'da funny this feeling inside', forget that. For years now I've seen the betting flow continue on the Angels no matter if they were in Anaheim, Los Angeles or California and they never won when it counted. Now, I see 'action' against them and for the first time I believe that they have a shot of winning and me it starts here. Griffin Canning has a name worthy of my action averages 1.3 K's per inning, Ross Stripling who is 1-2 with a 4.67 ERA lifetimes against LA....Take ANGELS |

04-08-21 | Brewers -130 v. Cardinals | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -130 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
Milwaukee at St. Louis 4:15 ET Brewers over Cardinals- okay so the Cardinals just swept the Marlins who after a good show last season may have the weakest lineup in baseball. Milwaukee was a Megabucks winner for 'us' yesterday and will be sending Corbin Burnes who is favored over veteran Adam Wainwright. Wainwright who just doesn't seem the same is 0-1, with a 20.25 ERA allowed six runs in less than three innings against the Reds in his only start this season. He may have lost it...Take BREWERS! |

04-07-21 | Grizzlies +3 v. Hawks | Top | 131-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
Memphis at Atlanta 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Hawks- This could be a good one as these two clubs are pretty evenly matched. Atlanta has won 13 of their last 17 and are coming off a record setting performance against New Orleans where they made 11 straight 3-point shots. Memphis has won their last three and are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games overall. Although the Hawks are flying high and are 7-0 ATS in their last seven home games the line is short and they are just 2-5 ATS at home against a team with winning road record. Take MEMPHIS! |

04-07-21 | Brewers +107 v. Cubs | Top | 4-2 | Win | 107 | 5 h 35 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Brewers over Cubs- The Brewers who had scored just five runs in three straight losses bounced back with a 4-0 Power Play win over the Cubs yesterday and today they start their Opening Day hurler in hard throwing Brandon Woodruff. Chicago has lost 4-of-5 against Milwaukee and will send their Opening Day starter Kyle Hendricks who is 9-6 and a 2.84 ERA lifetime against the Cubs. Still, the Brewers have the current 'mojo.' Take MILWAUKEE! |

04-05-21 | Baylor v. Gonzaga -4.5 | Top | 86-70 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
Baylor vs. Gonzaga 9:20 ET Bulldogs (-) over Bears- This is the game we have all been waiting for (at least I have), especially since the early game scheduled between these two was canceled. Except for a short spur when Michigan was showing their best Baylor and Gonzaga have been the two best teams in the nation. We finally broke through with a win against the Bulldogs as they were lucky to escape with an overtime win against a 'game' UCLA team. Baylor had no such issues with Houston and manhandled them from start to finish! The Zags have won all five previous meetings with the dog Houston going 4-1 ATS. Not to worry here. The Bulldogs bite...take GONZAGA! |

04-05-21 | Rays v. Red Sox +105 | Top | 2-11 | Win | 105 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Rays- This is one of the most difficult things that I have to do and that is posting the Red Sox to win. It's not just that they stink and have started 3-0 it's that New York/Boston thing where no matter how bad they are you want them to be worse. But tonight finally they will start a major league pitcher in Nick Pivetta who was 2-0- for the Sox last season in two appearances. Tampa Bay will start Michael Wacha (1-4, 6.62 ERA) who hasn't had a winning season since 2018 and is just not what he used to be (who is). Considering Tampa Bay is 13-3 in their last 16 games at Fenway Park I think this could be a sucker line. Take BOSTON! |

04-05-21 | Pistons -3 v. Thunder | Top | 132-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 33 m | Show |
Detroit at Oklahoma City 7:00 ET Pistons (-) over Thunder- This 'line' just tells us how bad OKC actually is, as they are home underdogs to the Pistons. Detroit is 5-20 SU on the road while the Thunder have a better home record at 9-15. Both of these dregs are coming off embarrassing losses as Oklahoma City was pasted by Portland 133-85 (worst loss in OKC history) while Detroit lost by 44 points to the NY Knicks which was their worst loss in 27 years. Now, the Pistons come up the favorite on the road against a team that they have lost five straight games to as they haven't beaten the Thunder in OKC since November 2017. Detroit is 21-7 ATS after an ATS loss and are 15-7 ATS as road favorites. Take DETROIT! |

Golden State at Atlanta 7:30 ET Warriors over Hawks- There is something way off here! Let's check these clubs most recent results. Atlanta has won their last two on the road defeating San Antonio and New Orleans as a favorite while the Warriors have dropped their last two and six of seven including a 53-point loss at Toronto (the worst defeat in franchise history). Now, somehow Golden State although with a lesser record and playing their worst ball of the year are favored on the road. It just doesn't seem right to me. The Warriors as bad as they are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as favorites while (get this) the Hawks are 5-12 ATS at home after a seven day or more road trip. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

04-04-21 | Braves v. Phillies +110 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 110 | 4 h 4 m | Show |
Atlanta at Philadelphia 1:05 ET Phillies over Braves- Atlanta who is the odds on favorite in the NL East has dropped their first two games of the season to the Phillies and have lost five of the last six meetings. The Braves will start phenom Ian Anderson (3-2, 2.92 ERA) who struck out 41 batters in just 32.1 innings last season and has yet to pitch against Philadelphia. The Phillies will start Zach Eflin who is 10 starts in 2020 was 4-2 with a 3.97 ERA and was 2-0 with a 2.92 ERA against Atlanta. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Milwaukee at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Bucks- Both these clubs had extreme decisions yesterday as the Bucks crushed the Trailblazers at Portland 127-109 while Sacramento was getting pasted by the LA Lakers 115-94 ending a five-game home winning streak. Despite leading the league in scoring Milwaukee is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games and they are 2-6 ATS as road favorites. The Kings are much improved and get the money here. Take SACRAMENTO! |

04-03-21 | Houston +5 v. Baylor | Top | 59-78 | Loss | -106 | 23 h 11 m | Show |
Houston vs Baylor 5:15 ET Cougars (+) over Bears- Baylor has been the No. 2 team in the nation the entire season and with a cancelled game against Gonzaga they got to 18-0 before a 23-day break because of COVID protocols. Once returning to action the Bears didn't seem to be the same but the 'Big Dance' has brought out the best in them as they have reeled off four straight wins and eight in their last nine games. Houston meanwhile has been lurking around the entire season and have won their last 11 and bring the nation's No. 2 scoring defense into this fray holding opponents to 57.6 PPG. Baylor of course has the No. 3 offense averaging 85.3 PPG while shooting 43% from 3-point range. But, the Cougars are No. 1 in FG defense allowing just 37% from the floor. Take HOUSTON! |

04-03-21 | Braves v. Phillies +104 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 104 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
Atlanta at Philadelphia 4:05 ET Phillies over Braves- We opened the season with the Phillies a Megabucks winner and 'we' are coming back with them again. Atlanta who is the favorite in the NL East will start newcomer Charlie Morton who has had a 'perfect' spring not allowing a run in over 10 inning work but is just 2-3 lifetime against Philadelphia with a 6.17 ERA. Zack Wheeler gets the nod for the Phillies and was solid in 2020 going 4-2 with an ERA of 2.92 in 11 starts. Wheeler is 6-5 lifetime against the Braves and had a 2.19 ERA striking out 11 in 12 innings last season. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Chicago White Sox at LA Angels 9:35 ET Angels over White Sox- Both of these clubs the White Sox and Angels are expected to contend for their respective division titles. Chicago in the Central will have to battle Minnesota for the top spot while LA once again will contend with Houston in the West. The Angles started on the right foot with a 4-3 win over the Pale Hose last night and will start lefty Andrew Heaney who is 3-0 with a 2.84 ERA in five career starts against the White Sox while Dallas Keuchel who starts for Chicago is 12-2 with a 3.36 ERA lifetime against the Angels. CWS are 1-9 in their last nine road games and the Angels are 5-1 in their last six home games. Take LA ANGELS! |

04-02-21 | Warriors +1.5 v. Raptors | Top | 77-130 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
Golden State at Toronto 7:00 ET Warriors (+) over Raptors- Golden State has lost 5-of-6 but is encouraged with the return of Stephen Curry who shooting and scoring at will. Toronto during March was even worst winning just once in 14 games and are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as favorites. The Warriors who have struggles of their own are just 1-6 ATS as road underdogs and 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games overall. But, with Green healthy and Curry scoring whenever he wants the Warriors are the side. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

04-01-21 | Warriors +3 v. Heat | Top | 109-116 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
Golden State at Miami 8:00 ET Warriors (+) over Heat- Both these clubs are flirting around the .500 mark as the Heat have won their last two climbing to the breakeven mark while won for the first time in five games last time out and are one-game under. With Stephen Curry back in the lineup the Warriors are a different club as are the Heat when Jimmy Butler plays and he will play tonight and so will Victor Oladipo who will make his first heat appearance. This line looks very short to me which says Miami will continue to struggle. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

04-01-21 | Braves v. Phillies -105 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show |
Atlanta at Philadelphia 3:05 ET Phillies over Braves- To be named the opening day starting pitcher in MLB is the biggest honor for any staff member and this season under limited conditions games will have varies number of fans in attendance. Aaron Nola is making his 4th consecutive opening day start for Philadelphia while Max Fried is getting his first opening day start after going 7-0 with a 2.25 ERA in the shortened 2020 season. Fried is 3-2 with a 4,15 ERA lifetime against the Phillies while Nola is 11-6 with a 3.06 ERA in 20 starts against the Braves and he has more wins them than any other MLB club. Last year the Phils were 5-1 in their last six games against left-handed starters and the were 9-2 as home favorites. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Portland at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Trailblazers- One of the problems with this Blazers team is their incentive to play hard on a consistent basis. In their last outing against Toronto they (Portland) surrendered 74 first-half points and then held the Raptors to 10 third quarter points. See, boys you can do it, if you try, but...they don't always try so much. Portland is 7-15 ATS in their last 22 road games against teams with losing records and are 1-7-1 ATS in the last nine meetings including 0-4 ATS in Detroit. Pistons playing better of late going 5-2 ATS and 5-2 ATS as underdogs. Take DETROIT! |

Philadelphia at Denver 9:00 ET 76ers (+) over Nuggets- With or without Joel Embiid the 76ers have gone from one of the worst road teams in the NBA both SU and ATS to a team that is now formidable on the road. Philadelphia is 13-10 SU aways from 'Liberty City' and is 3-1 on their current trip with the loss coming at the Clippers Saturday night' and are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Denver is just 6-15-1 ATS following a win of 10-points or more but the kicker is that the Sixers are 15-4-2 ATS in the last 21 meetings and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Denver. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Arkansas vs Baylor 10:00 ET Bears (-) over Razorbacks- Baylor has been ranked No. 2 or 3 the entire season despite losing 23 days of action because of virus issues and it has taken them four weeks since returning to play before they got their 'mojo' back. And they have it back now! The Bears are 9-3 ATS on neutral sites and 21-10 ATS against winning teams above 60%. Granted Arkansas is no push-over, as they are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall. This one is just about the Bears coming together at the right time. Take BAYLOR! |

New Orleans at Boston 7:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Celtics- Boston returns to the TD Garden having won their last two on the road to rise to the .500 level after having lost five of six. New Orleans has won 3-of-4 and is 6-2 ATS if their last eight games overall. The Celtics start a seven-game home stand and this will be the first game with limited number of fans allowed to attend. Boston has been very inconsistent going 2-11 ATS after a SU win and are 0-6 ATS after a win of 10 points or more. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

03-28-21 | Hawks +4.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 102-126 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
Atlanta at Denver 9:00 ET Hawks (+) over Nuggets- Denver is one of the teams that was very active before the trade deadline and has a slew of players that are gone and three new ones to take their place. Gone are a pair of guards and a center and the additions are Aaron Gordon, Gary Clark from Orlando and center JaVale McGee from Cleveland. They may have gain something on the talent level but I don't see how they would all be able to mess together their first game out. Atlanta is 4-1 ATS their last five trios to Denver and are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Hawks soar in 'Mile High City'...taker ATLANTA |

03-28-21 | Florida State +2 v. Michigan | Top | 58-76 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
Florida State vs Michigan 5:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Wolverines- This one could end up the best game of the day as No. 1 seed Michigan hosts No. 4 Florida State. Michigan who will be without their best shooting guard Isaiah Livers (43.1% from 3-point range) but finished top rated status with FG (48.5%), free throw (78%) and 3-points (38.5%). Florida State prides itself on their defense holding opponents to 39.3% FG on the season and seem to play their best in this position. Florida State is not only 3-1-1 ATS in their last five as NCAA Tourney underdogs they are 21-7-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs. Tale the SEMINOLES! |
