Denver at LA Lakers 8:30 ET Lakers (+) over Nuggets- Unlike Boston the LA Lakers did not quit in their Game 3 loss to Denver the issue with team is that they just were not and are not good enough. Yes, Denver is just better and has more depth along with better shooters. In Game e the Lakers actually had a 12-point lead at one point and a one-point lead with seven minutes to go before the Nuggets closed them out. No NBA team has ever comeback from a 3-0 deficit to win the series but to gain a win here is not out of the question. Take LA LAKERS! |

05-22-23 | Astros -112 v. Brewers | Top | 12-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
Houston at Milwaukee 7:40 ET Astros over Brewers- What I see here is a Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes (3-2, 3.86 ERA) an underdog at home and tat rises questions. Burnes has been inconsistent at best and surrendered the most hits in any start this season, last time out giving up eight hits in six innings in a 3-0 loss to St. Louis. The Astros will start Cristian Javier (4-1, 3.25) and he has allowed just 39 hits in 53 innings pitched with 59 strikeouts. Astros are 6-1 in seven inter-league against right-handed starters. Take HOUSTON! |

05-21-23 | Celtics v. Heat +3.5 | Top | 102-128 | Win | 100 | 21 h 32 m | Show |
Boston at Miami 8:30 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- The hits just keep comes if you dare to pay against the Heat team as their ‘Mojo’ is stronger than Austin Powers. Now, they are at home and are underdogs again to a team that just does not seem to be in sync. as a matter of fact Boston looks like all the other playoff teams that had to plat Miami. The Heat had to beat the Bulls after losing a play-in game to Atlanta and then the let Milwaukee win one game and the Knicks a pair and now Boston who may not win one game. But, Karma, is hard to overcome and if the Celtics pull it off here... Take MIAMI! |

05-19-23 | Marlins v. Giants -113 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
Miami at San Francisco 10:15 ET Giants over Marlins- A pair of clubs that for the most part are considered also-rans this season have the current MLB longest win streak with the Marlins having won their last three and so have the Giants. Miami will start Cy Young winner Sandy Alacantra (1-4, 4.91 ERA) who is having a tougher time this season and he is 1-2 lifetime against San Fran. Anthony DeSclafani (3-3, 3.06) who make his MLB debut with Miami is 2-2 with a 2.47 ERA in six career starts against his former team. Giants are 9-3 in last 12 versus Marlins in last 12 games as hosts. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

05-18-23 | Lakers v. Nuggets -5.5 | Top | 103-108 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 37 m | Show |
LA Lakers at Denver 8:30 ET Nuggets (-) over Lakers- The Lakers shot 67% in the second half come back in Game One and stole the money in a game that they were never in until Jokic stopped playing after the third quarter. So, that left many with the impression that the Lakers are ready for Game Two and the Zig-zag people will come wit the Game One outright loser and I don’t see it that way. To me, LA was the winner as they got the money and tonight they fall short. The Lakers are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 trips to the Mile High City and the Nuggets are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as hosts overall. Take DENVER! |

05-17-23 | Heat v. Celtics -7.5 | Top | 123-116 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 12 m | Show |
Miami at Boston 8:30 ET Celtics (-) over Heat- Boston who once again is a heavy favorite for the series and of course Game 1 and once again we have eighth-seeded Miami the working man’s underdog survivor surprising everyone. The Celtics do not want to start this series as they did the last because a loss off the top to this clubs will only give them more confidence and put added pressure on them selves. Jimmy Butler has been a force to contend with and Bam Adebayo is no slough. but, the Celtics focus will run as deep as their talent. These two split four games this season each winning a pair on their home floor. The Celts are 10-4 ATS in last 14 home games and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with winning records. Take BOSTON! |

05-16-23 | Lakers +6.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 126-132 | Win | 100 | 24 h 34 m | Show |
LA Lakers at Denver 8:30 ET Lakers (+) over Nuggets- I find it so difficult to play against Denver as they are that good and so under-rated. Last year Jamal Murray was out and the Nuggets fell short.This year with a healthy Murray they look like the team to beat. LA well, what is there to say other than that if AD and LeBron can work together as they have, their inside game is tough to to beat.Think of all the Finals experience James has and then realize Denver has never been to the NBA Finals. The Nuggets have had their way against LA as hosts going 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven. But, this one will be close at the final buzzer. Take the LA LAKERS! |

05-16-23 | Rays v. Mets -151 | Top | 8-5 | Loss | -151 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at New York Mets 7:10 ET Mets over Rays- New York has struggled against the dregs of baseball going just 4-9 in their last 13 games, all against sub .500 teams. Tampa Bay of course has the best record in MLB and just split a four-game series against the Yankees. The Rays will send left-hander Jalen Beeks (1-2, 5.40 ERA) to the mound who has not pitched more than two innings in any of his 10 appearances. The Mets will start Justin Verlander (1-1, 2.25) who in making his home debut for New York. The Muts as they are being called in New York are 55-27 in their last 82 games following a loss and with this price being as high as it is makes me believe the Mets are good here tonight. Take NEW YORK METS! |

05-15-23 | Brewers v. Cardinals +106 | Top | 1-18 | Win | 106 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
Milwaukee at St. Louis 7:45 ET Cardinals over Brewers- After their worst start since 1940 St. Louis has now won six of seven and I expect that positive momentum to continue today as Jack Flaherty (2-4, 6.18 ERA) takes the hill. Flaherty who is 3-7 with a 4.92 ERA against the Brewers is off to a horrid start to the season. Milwaukee will start Freddy Peralta (4-2, 3.32) who has had three straight quality starts but is just 3-4 with a 5.94 ERA in 13 career appearances. The Brewers are 1-5 in their last six road games wile the Cardinals are 6-1 in their last seven overall. Red Bird have turned it around and continue to win. Take ST. LOUIS! |

05-14-23 | Cardinals -120 v. Red Sox | Top | 9-1 | Win | 100 | 16 h 20 m | Show |
St. Louis at Boston 7:10 ET Cardinals over Red Sox- Who said that they were the Dead-Birds? It was not me or was it, oh yeah the Cardinals came to life in the ninth inning Saturday to ruin my free podcast play of the Red Sux. You know what I am thinking...I believe St. Louis has come to life after a horrid start (10-24) but have won five of six this week. In baseball when a team is hot they are hot and it does not matter who is pitching Miles Mikolas (1-1, 5.40 ERA) or who is out. Boston knows about streaks as they just had a seven game win streak but have now lost four of five. The Red Sox will send out Cory Kluber (2-4, 6.29) who has seen better days and should be seed for the Red Birds. and Blo-sux are 0-7 in inter-league play at home. Take ST. LOUIS! |

05-14-23 | 76ers +6.5 v. Celtics | Top | 88-112 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 35 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Boston 3:30 ET Celtics (- ) over 76ers- All year long I insisted that Joel Embiid deserved the MVP and was glad to see him win it but at the same time I was saying that I thought the Celtics were the beat team I saw this season. So, you see where I’m coming from...the 76ers have a history of not winning when put in this position and James Harden, well when does he show up. The thing here is that both The Beard and Joel can have great nights and they can still get beat. The skeptics will once again be after Doc Rivers throat because the Celtics are 10-3 ATS against teams with winning records and 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings with the Sixers. Take BOSTON! |

Houston at Chicago White Sox 7:15 ET White Sox over Astros- The White Sox have been the biggest disappointment in all of LMB action this season as they are already 14 games under .500 and a minus -1,398 on simple one hundred dollar wagers per game. Chicago will start Dylan Cease (2-2, 5.59 ERA) who has struggled against Houston going 0-3 with a 5.15 ERA. Houston will start Brandon Bielak (0-1, 4.15) who is making just his second start in three seasons. Take WHITE SOX! |

San Diego at LA Dodgers 10:10 ET Padres over Dodgers- These two combatants are expected to battle it out throughout the entire season for supremacy in the NL West. San Diego loaded up with big name players this season looking to challenge LA for the top spot. The Dodgers will send Dustin May (4-1, 2.68 ERA) who defeated the Padres six days ago and is 2-4 with a 3.44 ERA lifetime against San Diego. The Padres will send Blake Snell (1-5, 4.89) to the hill and he is 1-2 with a stellar 2.56 ERA in 10 starts against the Dodgers. Padres are 6-2 in their last eight games after a loss while the Dodgers are 1-6 on Fridays. Take SAN DIEGO! |

05-12-23 | Knicks +6.5 v. Heat | Top | 92-96 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
New York at Miami 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Heat- New York once again is facing elimination and and staved it off last time out as Jalen Brunson scored 38 points while RJ Barrett continues is hot playoff shooting scoring a high of 26points in Game five. Miami has played over their heads for the entire playoffs as Jimmy Butler is establishing his star status but he was held to a playoff low of 19 points last time out. The Knicks are 38-18-1 ATS on the road and 15-6-1 ATS after a straight-up win while the Heat have the series edge at home going 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Still, with what is a stake here keeps this one close. Take NEW YORK! |

San Francisco at Arizona 9:40 ET Giants over Diamondbacks- The Giants who are 4-games under .500 are not expected to become a playoff team as their talent level has slipped more than most realize. Arizona has finally become a threat after spending a decade in the bottom half of the NL. Alex Cobb (2-1, 2.01 ERA) ges the start for the Jints while rookie Tommy Henry (1-0, 5.17) will be making his fourth career start in a previous start he was knocked around by the Giants allowing five runs in 4.2 innings. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Boston at Philadelphia 7:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- Most of what I have been hearing is that Doc Rivers will be fired after the Celtics eliminate the 76ers from the playoffs. Well, I guess that has been put on hold for now as Philadelphia has shocked most that pay attention by taking the last two games from Boston since falling behind 2-1 in games. The force that Boston hs not be able to handle is MVP Joel Embiid who just does not want to return to Bean Town for a game 7. Joel too much for visitors. Take PHILADELPHIA ! |

05-10-23 | Heat v. Knicks -3.5 | Top | 103-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
Miami at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (-) over Heat- Right now the No. 8 seed in their eastern conference is ready to reach to NBA East finals with one more win in their next possible three games with New York. The Knicks have had one of the better seasons’ in what seems like decades but have fallen 3-of-4 to the more physical Heat. Miami’s defensive pressure has had the Knicks committed 52 turnovers in the series 13 more than the Heat. But, it is their rebounding that the Knicks have to improve on as Miami has controlled the boards. Take NEW YORK! |

Toronto at Philadelphia 4:10 ET Phillies over Blue Jays- Philadelphia has won their last two games s following a six game losing streak and will send their best to the mound in Zack Wheeler (3-2, 4.26 ERA). Toronto is use Kevin Gausman (2-3, 3.86) who is off his worst career start allowing eight runs on 10 hits against Boston last Thursday. The Blue Jays are just 2-5 in their last seven road games against a right-handed starter while the Phillies are 6-1 at home against right-handed starters. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Phoenix at Denver 10:00 ET Suns (+) over Nuggets- Five days ago we were hearing how Denver was ready to sweep the series or at least end it early after Chris Paul was sidelined with a groin injury. As those of you that have been a part of our saga that I am not a big Paul fan and believe that the Suns are better off than on when it comes to this perennial playoff loser. We all pretty much accept that role players are better at home than n the road during the playoffs and the Suns bench outscored the Nuggets bench 40-11. That is a lot to overcome just thinking home floor difference. Now, it is Denver that feels the pressure and they have not been here in a long time. Take PHOENIX! |

05-09-23 | Blue Jays v. Phillies -132 | Top | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
Toronto at Philadelphia 6:40 ET Phillies over Blue Jays- The inconsistent Blue Jays just swept three games from what was a hot Pittsburgh club outscoring the Pirates 22-3. Philadelphia once again is off to a slow start but as Bryce Harper returns so does the Phillies winning ways. Last year the MVP carried the Whiz-kids to the NL pennant and he is doing it again for the struggling club. Aaron Nola (2-2, 4.64 ERA) 0-2 with a 5.48 lifetime ERA against the Blue Jays will start for the home team and Alek Manoah (1-2, 4.71) who was a sensation last season in seven starts this year has 21 walks in just 36 innings.Take PHILADELPHIA! |

05-08-23 | Knicks +4.5 v. Heat | Top | 101-109 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
New York at Miami 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Heat- All the glitz and glamours that comes with winning in New York dies very fast when you play like the Knicks did in Game 3. Miami is having their best run of the season in the playoffs and are doing it without Tyler Herro their leading scorer and at times without Jimmy Butler and others and like a hot playoff goalie they just keep wining.The Knicks seem to be breaking down physically as Immanuel Quickey comes up a question and joins Josh Hart and a gimpy Julius Randle. But, the Knicks run deep and Tom Tribodeau will make adjustments if only they execute. Take NEW YORK |

05-07-23 | Nuggets +2.5 v. Suns | Top | 124-129 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 33 m | Show |
Denver at Phoenix 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Suns- I was wondering if I believed that Kevin Durant and Devin Booker would once again score a combined 86 points (the same amount the entire Knicks scored in the game against the Heat yesterday) then you should back Phoenix. If you have any doubts and I have mine, then the choice should be easy. But, the result may not always be. Even in their Game 3 loss the Nuggets were still more impressive to me. Take DENVER! |

LA Dodgers at San Diego 7:10 ET Padres over Dodgers- This is a big game for the Padres and not so much in the standings but in their heads. Los Angeles is 67-31in the last 98 meetings and treats San Diego like a red-headed step-child. but, this season the Padres are drawing a line in the sand and have powered up and look to over take the bullies from 90 miles north. Pitching match-up does not to the Padres today...take SAN DIEGO! |

05-07-23 | A's -111 v. Royals | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -111 | 4 h 27 m | Show |
Oakland at Kansas City 2:10 ET A’s over Royals- There is no way that his Oakland team should ever be favored on the road even against the like of a club as weak as the Royals. These may be the two worst teams in MLB this season and the A’s have a chance to break the Mets 1962 record of 140 losses. But, they have found one bright spot and that is Mason Miller (0-1, 3.91 ERA) who in his only start in Triple-A pitched five perfect innings with 11 strikeouts before being call to the Show and last time out he pitched seven innings of no-hit ball against Seattle before being removed. Take OAKLAND! |

L. A. Dodgers at San Diego 8:40 ET Padres over Dodgers- I love the pitching match-up although it may seem a bit one sided as the Dodgers Dustin May (3-1, 3.15 ERA) has allowed just 20 hits in 34.1 innings while The Padres Blake Snell (1-4, 5.28) has surrendered 33 hits in 28 innings wit an usually high 18 walks. But, San Diego has put the NL on notice and they are starting to hit as a team and are 5-1 at home and 4-0 against the NL West. Dodgers weakness is facing left-hander starters and are 2-6 in their last eight against southpaws. Take SAN DIEGO! |

05-06-23 | Blue Jays -125 v. Pirates | Top | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
Toronto at Pittsburgh 6:35 ET Blue jays over Pirates- Is this the beginning of the end for the Pirates who are quickly reverting back to old habits again. Pittsburgh started the season 20-8 and there was a buzz starting to surround their sudden rise, but alas, they have now dropped five straight and are facing a team coming out of their own five-game losing streak. Toronto was lucky enough to be playing Pittsburgh to end their down turn and now send Jose Berrios (2-3, 5.29 ERA) who was racked by the Red Sox last time out giving up 11 hits in five innings. Blue jays are 6-0 in the last six meetings including 5-0 in the Steel City. The Pirates are 23-54 in their last 77 inter-league games. Take TORONTO! |

Miami at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (-) over Heat- The Heat are red-hot and Jimmy Butler is on fire. He is scoring at a rate that he has never displayed before. New York had an early double digit early lead and lead by five points at the half and that is all is wrote for the Knicks. New York was without Julius Randle but it was butler that was the difference in Game One as he has been throughout the playoffs. Although Miami won the last meeting they were 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings and they are just 10-28-1 ATS after a SU win. Take NEW YORK! |

Chicago White Sox at Cincinnati 6:40 ET White Sox over Reds- Chicago’s Lance Lynn (0-4, 7.16 ERA) has gone 11 seasons and has yet to have a losing season but things look pretty bleak as the White Sox has lost all six of his starts including his last time out when he allowed just three hits in 6.2 innings having entered the seventh with a no-hitter and left the game having surrendered just one run against Tampa Bay. Cincinnati will send Hunter Greene (0-1, 2.89) and last Saturday matched his season high of 10 strikeouts. The hard throwing right-hander has 40 strike outs in just 28 innings but has given up 29 hits. Sox are 13-4 in their last 17 inter-league road games while the reds are 11-31 in their last 42 games against right handed starters. Take the WHITE SOX! |

LA Lakers at Golden State 9:00 ET Warriors (-) over Lakers- I really did not expect too out of Step Curry and the Warriors after he scored 50 points in their Game 7 win over Sacramento. One thing that I did expect was for the champs to feel liberated as the Game 7 pressure was gone. The Lakers and Anthony Davis dominated the paint in Game One with 30 points and 23 rebounds and LA dominated at the free throw line making 29 to the Golden State had six. After those kind of numbers adjustments will be make by both the Warriors and the officials. Warriors are 5-1 ATS after a SU loss and 40-19-1 ATS in their last 60 home games . Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Atlanta at Miami 4:10- ET Marlins over Braves- As good as Atlanta looks this season they are having troubles keeping their rotation in tact and will be going with rookie Dylan Dodd (1-1, 7.71 ERA) who has been called back up from Triple-A to make this afternoon start. The Braves are already 5-1 against Miami this season but will face the Marlins best hurler in Jesus Luzardo (2-1, 3.48 ) and they are 5-1 as a team when he starts. Fish are also 5-0 at home in last five starts against left-handers and they are 9-4 at home in their last 13 games overall. Take MIAMI! |

Philadelphia at Boston 8:00 ET Celtics (-) over 76ers- Boston was beaten as a double-digit favorite in Game 1 of this series and they did it without Joel Embiid stepping on the court. They were able to win because James Harden picked up the slack matching his career playoff high by scoring 45 points. Boston dominated the inside game with Embiid missing and had a 66-42 advantage in points in the paint. I would actually feel better if Joel played but either way the Celtics should prevail here. 76ers are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. Take BOSTON! |

Arizona at Texas 8:05 ET Diamondbacks over Rangers- Okay, well Arizona is much better than any recent seasons and so is Texas. The Rangers who are 11-5 at home scored 15 runs against the Yankees Sunday and are now an underdog to the D’Backs. Arizona is starting Zac Gallen (4-1, 2.15 ERA) and have won four of their last six while Gallen has gone four starts without allowing a run covering 28 innings and four wins. Texas will send Jon Gray (1-1, 3.91) to the hill and he has struggled with his control this season and is 5-7 with a 5.60 ERA against Arizona. Snakes are off a 10-4 loss at Colorado and are 10-3 following a loss. Take ARIZONA! |

New York had an early double digit early lead and lead by five points at the half and that is all is wrote for the Knicks. New York was without Julius Randle but it was butler that was the difference in Game One as he has been throughout the playoffs.

Philadelphia at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (-) over 76ers- Of course the question here is can Philadelphia play well enough to win or even cover without Joel Embiid in the lineup. Coach Doc Rivers has said that he mostly will miss at least Game 1 of this series. Boston is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings including last time out when the 76ers won but did not cover as Embiid posted 52 points. if Joel can have an unbelievable night and still not get the money I can not see how they can stay with Boston without him. Sixers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 trips to Beantown and Celts are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Take BOSTON! |

Golden State at Sacramento 3:30 ET Warriors over Kings- This one is simple...are you willing to play against Steph Curry is a game of this significance and I am not! Golden State slept-walked though their last encounter not playing with the urgency that the Kings put out. Are the Warriors good enough to turn it on against a team that has outplayed them all season. It was thought that the defending champs would only have to win once on the road to win this series but now it must happen twice in-a-row. The Warriors are 5-1 ATS after a loss of 10 points and the Kings are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

New York at Texas 2:35 ET Yankees over Rangers- new York is looking to gain a split of this four-game series after dropping the last two scoring just two runs in the last two and only six for the three games. Yankee bats have gone silent with Judge and Stanton sidelined but, today they will send their most effective starter over the past two seasons and that is Nestor Cortes (3-1, 3.49 ERA) who has allowed three runs or less in 17 consecutive starts. Martin Perez (3-1, 2.60) gets the nod for Texas and the left-hander is just 2-5 with a 5.80 ERA in 11 starts against the Yankees. Bombers are 9-4 after a loss and the Rangers are 3-10 in their last 13 starts against left-handers. Take NEW YORK YANKEES! |

New York Yankees at Texas 7:10 ET Rangers over Yankees- I realize that the Rangers are greatly improved but to see them open this big a favorite against the Yankees is a bit surprising. New York is having problems not only does the club have major flaws (not according to GM Cashman) and now are without Aaron Judge and the over-rated and injury plagued Michael Giancarlo (I can’t play today and I won’t hustle if I do.) Stanton. Former Yankee Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 5.20 ERA) get a shot at his former team while Jhony Brito (2-2, 6.11) take the hill for New York. Since winning his first two starts Brito has lasted just 7.1 innings in his last three starts surrendering 11 runs and 12 hits with seven walks. Take TEXAS! |

Sacramento at Golden State 8:00 ET Warriors (-) over Kings- The defending NBA Champion Warriors are seed sixth but are ready to close out Sacramento and reclaim it’s northern California dominance. Golden State won only 11 games on the road this regular season but have come up with the one road win they need to win this series. I expect the Warriors to hold serve and end this series tonight. The Warriors are 40-17-1 ATS in their last 58 home games. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Cleveland at Boston 7:10 ET Watch Dogs over Red Sox- Boston at 13-13 is about where most experts expected them to be in the AL East. With New York and Toronto the powerhouse teams the Red Sox have been passed by Baltimore with their youth movement. Nick Pivetta (1-1,4.58 ERA) leads the Boston staff and his mound opponent with be Shane Bieber (1-1, 3.23) who has gone six inning in four of his five starts. Former Tribe are 4-1 in their last five starts against right handed pitchers while Boston is 1-5 at home against right handed starters. Take CLEVELAND! |

Miami at Milwaukee 9:30 ET Bucks (-) over Heat- Milwaukee is one game away from elimination trailing 3-1 in games to Miami and yet they are still favored in Las Vegas to win this series. That speaks volumes as Giannis has not be at full strength. Only 13 teams in NBA history have recovered from a 3-1 hole and the odds are the Bucks will be number 14. The Heat have scored more points in this four-game series than any span of four games this entire season and it is not even close. Bucks clamp down...Take MILWAUKEE! |

Seattle at Philadelphia 6:40 ET Mariners over Phillies- When I hear managers speak highly of a player that is clearly in over his head (i.e.-Hicks with the Yankees) the Phillies have three such players that are just not cutting it. Both of these clubs are expected to contend but slow starting have them already with a hill to climb. a bit of revenge might apply here as Logan Gilbert (1-1, 3.57 ERA) was tagged with his loss by Philadelphia. Mariners are 7-2 on inter-league road and Philly is 2-7 in last nine starts against lefties. Take SEATTLE! |

LA Clippers at Phoenix 10:00 ET Suns (-) over Clippers- I’d like to be able to say that like most other teams who enters a game without their top player that they rally and come up with superior efforts. But, even the best of efforts does not make up for the absence of Kawaii Leonard. Phoenix seems to have made the adjustment of adding Kevin Durant to the lineup and they are now the favorites in the West. Russell Westbrook has filled in quite well for the Clippers but for the most part his contribution become meaningless with a bulk of turnovers that e commits. Take PHOENIX! |

New York at Minnesota 7:40 ET Twins over Yankees- I really am between a rock and a hard place when playing this game as I have Nestor Cortes Jr. (3-0, 3.09 ERA) the Yankees left-handed starter as the AL long shot Cy Young award winner. So, I am rooting for him every outing except of course for today. Today, his mound opponent will be stellar Joe Ryan (4-0, 3.24) who is pitching to a 0.76 WHIP and has allowed just 15 hits in 25 innings. Unbelievably the Yankees are 9-21 in their last 30 road games against teams with winning records while the Twins are11-2 in their last 13 home games against left-handed starters. Take MINNESOTA!. |

Chip’s NBA Playoff Power Play Milwaukee at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (+) over Heat- At first glance this series is all about Giannis Antetokounmpo and if he will or will not be playing. Miami has been applying pressure defensively and the Bucks without the Freak in the lineup have turned the ball over 18 time a game. Without the big guy in the lineup for the Bucks Jimmy Butler has become a bully once again even without Tyler Herro. The Bucks are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games in Miami while the Heat are 5-1 ATS in the ir last six home games. Take MIAMI! |

Now a days it is the Mets with the firepower and the giants that ae fading fast after a number of seasons of championship contending baseball. Look for the Giants to put the Mets away one more time.

Boston at Atlanta 7:00 ET Hawks (+) over Celtics- The high flying Hawks are brimming with confidence and are even a bit cocky when playing on their home court. There can be no doubt that Atlanta likes shooting the basketball at home as Trey Young was just 14-of-40 in the first two games on the road and was 12-of-22 in his own environment. The Celtics are tough no doubt and the Hawks win in Game 3 was the first in eight tries against Boston. Still, it is bravado that keeps this one close. Take ATLANTA! |

Okay, deciding to take some heat off Draymond Green, Dillion the Villian is making life miserable for LeBron even if his antics have no affect on the basketball court it has to wear James down mentally. 11 years his junior Brooks is quickly becoming the NBA’s newest version of Ron Artest.

Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo will be a late decision but Miami knows for sure that Tyler Herro will be out and are planning ways to combat the Bucks big center Brook Lopez. The Bucks struggled on the road of late going 1-4 ATS in their last five as well as 0-4 ATS in their last four trips to South Beach and the Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games.

Houston at Atlanta 7:20 ET Astros over Braves- Kyle Wright (0-0, 6.23 ERA) won 21 games last year and was dominate from start to finish last season but spring problems have carried over into the regular season. Even with this slow start by Wright the Braves still have the best record in the National League but they are only a virtual Pik-em game at home, That just doesn’t sit right...Ha. Framber Valdez (1,2, 1.85) won 17 games last year and is 28-12 the past two seasons and that is 70%. Although a losing record this season Famber’s ERA is under two as five of the ten runs he has surrendered were unearned.

New York Mets at San Francisco 4:05 ET Giants over Mets- I love this match-up as San Francisco stalwart Logan Webb (0-4, 4.91 ERA) throws against the New York Mets who crushed the Giants 7-0 Friday night. New York will start their weak link in David Peterson (1-2, 6.10) who the Mets are waiting to blossom and it is just not going to happen as he has surrendered 26 hits in just 20 innings. Webb puts it together after a horrid start. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Tonight, Seth Lugo (2-0, 2.70 ERA) is fighting for this starting roll after years of relief pitching with the Mets. San Diego is 3-0 when Lugo gets the start while Arizona will start ace Zac Gallen (2-1, 3.33) who has not allowed a run in his last 13.2 innings of work. The Padres are 5-0 on the road against teams with winning records and are 19-7 in the last 26 meetings including 4-0 at Arizona. Take SAN DIEG |

The storyline in New York is not about the Knicks but about what if, what if Donovan Mitchell had signed with his home town club...but alas he is a Cavalier and they team from Gotham still covets him. The Cavs are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six road games and 8-3 ATS after a win by 10 points. These clubs were seeded 4 and 5 and the difference really should not be that much but, this price does not pass the eye test and maybe it is me but it just looks like a come-get-me! Take CLEVELAND! |

His dominance on the boards have given Philadelphia a 56-33 rebounding advantage. Brooklyn’s offense leaves much to be desired as they scored just 35 points in the second half as Spencer Dinwiddie is shooting under 40% from the field and is just 2-of-18 from downtown.The Nets have plenty of pride and will bring a huge effort into the Barkley Center tonight.

Right now with Jose Altuve on the shelf Houston does not appear to be the same club as two other joined him on the bench and a pair of others are day-to-day. The Blue Jays will start Jose Berrios (1-2, 7.98 ERA) who has yet to reach expectations since joining Toronto and is 4-3 with a 4.81 ERA in seven career starts against the Astros. Houston will start Luis Garcia (0-2, 7.71) and he is 1-1 with a 4.00 ERA in three starts against the Jays. Jays are 6-2 last eight on the road and get the money here. Take TORONTO! |

Ja Morant may be sidelined although he was able to practice yesterday and if has not pistol whipped a high school student or pulled a gun on a teammate Commission Silver has encouraging words. If Morant is not able to play Memphis has shown that they can win without him going 6-3 SU down the stretch while he was in counseling. LA wins Game 1 128-109 and are 0-7 ATS after scoring 125 or more points and the Grizzlies are 37-16 ATS in their last 53 games after a loss of 10 points or more. Take MEMPHIS! |

The Clippers Kawhi Leonard poured in 38 points on 13-of 24 shooting in his first playoff game in nearly two years. Durant who had 27 points himself with 11 rebounds and nine assists took just one shot in the final 7:30 of the game. Just a note that my favorite...The Clips Russell Westbrook was 3-of-19 and the Clippers still managed to win Game 1 but that will not stand this time around. At this given moment both clubs support the same record but the Suns are perceived as the better team...and for good reason as they are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 Quarterfinals game.

In his first start against Boston he allowed three runs in five innings but had eight strikeouts while walking just one. Cincinnati will start Nick Lodolo (2-0, 2.12) who we have had luck with and we will go at it once again.

But, they are 15-37-1 ATS in their last 51 road games overall. It had been 17 years since the Kings won a playoff game and they liked it, like it so much they are going to do it again.

The Astros will send Cristian Javier (1-0, 4.24 ERA) to the hill and he has been no where as dominant this season as he has been in the past with strikeout ratio down 40%. Toronto veteran Kevin Gausman (1-1, 1.35) is in his 11th season and he has never been better going 27-16 the past two seasons. Blue Jays are 5-1 on the road and 14-6 following a loss. Take TORONTO! |

LA Lakers at Memphis 3:00 ET Lakers (+) over Grizzlies- A very good friend of mine who will remain nameless and works in one of the major sports books knows a little about the numbers that come out and he asked me why the Grizzlies are such a short favorite...I wonder myself. Although LeBron James and Anthony Davis will on the floor the most dynamic player in the NBA whose all eyes will be upon is Ja Morant providing he hasn’t pistol whipped any high school students before game time. People keep talking about the Suns having so little time to mess Kevin Durant into the flow, well LA was floundering and first Davis an then Lebron returned and they are 18-7 SU when it counted most. The experience the Lakers possess dwarfs any perceived talent advantage THE Grizzlies and long rests for Memphis is not a good thing as they are 7-19-1 ATS with 3 or more days rest. Take LAKERS! |

New York at Cleveland 6:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Knicks- New York tried desperately to acquire native Donovan Mitchell more than one and ended up with Jalen Brunson and the Knicks couldn’t be happier. He averaged 24.0 points and 6.2 assists and he started in all 68 games he played in. The impact that Mitchell has had on the Cavaliers can not be denied as they posted their most James-less team wins since 1993 with 51. The Knicks went 3-1 against the Cavs this season but Julius Randle is questionable and in games like this on the road it is difficult to overcome. Take CLEVELAND! |

Miami looked so bad while getting swamped by Atlanta and never looked like they had a chance if or were even interested as they fell 116-105 at home. Now, here comes Chicago who bullied the Raptors in the second half and looked really good and have defeated the Heat all three times they faced each other this season. The South Beach crew was favored by minus-1.5 in the last meeting as hosts in December and after losing all three to the Bulls and off a horrendous loss they are a bigger favorite.

In seven full inning he had 12 strikeouts, allowing just three hits and no runs in a no decision appearance. Philadelphia like last season is off to a slow start and can only wait for MVP Bryce Harper to get back in the lineup. Bailey Falter (0-1, 2.61) has thrown five innings in both of his starts while surrendering 11 hits and three runs.

San Diego who has a much firepower at the plate are still waiting for the return of Fernando Tatis who once again is sidelined because he has been a bad boy. The Mets will start Tylor Megill (2-0, 1.64 ERA) who has had a pair of quality starts defeating Miami twice and this time he will face a real offense.

Now, most might consider this a negative thing but I do not as the Wolves had a better winning percentage when Gobert was sidelined then when he played this season. The play on thee Lakers is heavy as many now believe that they will make it to the finals as they have the best record in the NBA 16-7 since the All-Star break.

Well, except for my basis toward Milwaukee starter Corbin Burnes (0-1, 9.64 ERA), after having seen him up-close I know how difficult he is to hit against. The Cy Young Award Winner has already walked five in nine+ innings and he is better than that having once started the season with 59 strikeouts before he walked a better. Arizona starter Merrill Kelly (0-1, 3.86) was roughed up by the Dodgers last time out and happens to be up against a determined Burnes.

That broke the locker room mojo and New York still hasn’t recovered and their pitching is a mess. The Brewers will counter with Eric Lauer (1-0, 3.83) who picked up a win against the Cubs last Sunday surrendering six hits in 5+ innings. Second time out he will not be so lucky.

Memphis at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Grizzlies (-) over Bucks. Milwaukee is locked into the No. 1 seed and there is more to taking Memphis than that. The Grizz just lost as a 6.5-point underdog at New Orleans an now come to play the Bucks on their court and are now favored over the top seed. We don’t have to be in Denmark to realize something is rotten here and it stinks to high heaven. Lay it with MEMPHIS! |

Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (-) over 76ers- I believe the Sixers are 86 for the rest of the regular season and it is the odds maker that believes it too.(well, I believe it because they are dictating it to us, just look at this price...absurd. I can not say why or how it will happen but the Hawks fly high tonight. Philly a no-show tonight. Take ATLANTA! |

04-07-23 | Astros v. Twins -120 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
Houston at Minnesota 4:10 ET Twins over Astros- There is something no so kosher about this game with these tow named starters and with Minnesota being named listed as the favorite over the world series champions. Let me think a minute Sonny Gray the 13-year veteran has never attained the success many believe he should have. Houston will be starting Jose Urquidy who was pounded in his first start surrendering seven hits in four innings in a no decision with two homers hit by the White Sox. This is the Twins are 11-4 in last 15 games as hosts and this is their home opener for 2023 and it will be the Astros first road game of the season. Take MINNESOTA! |

04-06-23 | Thunder -6.5 v. Jazz | Top | 114-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
Oklahoma City at Utah 9:00 ET Thunder (-) over Jazz- This is the time of the year that we can see some pretty wild and unusual things as point spread makers try and keep up with teams attitude toward certain games. Things have come full circle as it was exactly one year ago today that OKC visited the Jazz and Utah was a minus-15.5 point favorite. This time around the Thunder are favored and by more than a handful. The Jazz are out of tune and will be drowned out by the Thunder. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

04-05-23 | Grizzlies v. Pelicans -5 | Top | 131-138 | Win | 100 | 17 h 12 m | Show |
Memphis at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (-) over Grizzlies- Both of these clubs was in action last night and neither of them cover the number as Memphis was -19 against Portland and waltzed through a 119-109 victory while the Pelicans non-cover came with a 121-103 thumping at home by Sacramento. The Grizzlies just don’t play well with others on the road as they are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 road games and are 7-19 ATS against teams with winning home records. The Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in their last five at home and 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings against the Griz as hosts. This price looks outrageously high. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

04-05-23 | Twins v. Marlins +105 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 105 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
Minnesota at Miami 1:10 ET Marlins over Twins- It is difficult for me to play against any one named Jesus no matter how you pronounce it. It is even more difficult if he is a starting pitcher named Jesus Luzardo who has come into his own as a member of the Marlins. Last season just 69 hits, and in his first start against the Mets (Megabucks Winner) he surrendered just two its in six innings. Minnesota will send former Miami start pitcher Pablo Lopez who opened his season with a win over Kansas City also allowing just two hits in six innings. Home field and being familiar with their opponent a former teammate give the edge to...MIAMI! |

04-04-23 | Braves v. Cardinals -130 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -130 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
Atlanta at St. Louis 7:45 ET Cardinals over Braves- Early in the baseball season it takes a bit of time to fully realize the movement of players to different clubs. Steven Matz start for St. Louis and the former New York Mets and Blue Jays lefty was 5-3 last season with a 5,25 ERA as her dealt with shoulder issues. He is 6-3 with a 3.42 ERA lifetime against Atlanta. The Braves will start Dylan Dodd who is making his MLB debut and will have to face a deep hitting Cardinals squad. His first experience at this level will not be pleasant. Take ST. LOUIS! |

04-04-23 | Wolves -125 v. Nets | Top | 107-102 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show |
Minnesota at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Timberwolves over Nets- Both of these clubs are looking to secure their playoff position and a win for Minnesota would guarantee them at least a play-in spot. The Nets can use a win to put them in the sixth seed while the Timberwolves need a win to reach .500. The Wolves have put themselves in this position by losing their last three even losing to an 18-point underdog Portland who has actually given up on the season. Bounce back here. Take MINNESOTA! |

04-03-23 | Diamondbacks +129 v. Padres | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 9 m | Show |
Arizona at San Diego 9:40 ET Diamondbacks over Padres- This season it seems more people are on the San Diego bandwagon as they continue to add talent into their lineup. This of course raises the price of backing them especially on a daily basis and they started 2-2 splitting a 4-game home series with Colorado dropped the last two games. The Padres will start Ryan Weathers who is 4-7 lifetime and 0-1 against Arizona. The D’backs will start Ryne Nelson the prized prospect who is 1-1 lifetime but has allowed just nine hits in 18 innings. Despite a poor spring he will be ready tonight. Take ARIZONA! |

04-03-23 | San Diego State +7.5 v. Connecticut | Top | 59-76 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 1 m | Show |
San Diego State vs. Connecticut 8:30 ET Aztecs (+) over Huskies- What can be said about Connecticut that you haven’t already heard or already know and that is they are the best of all this season hands down when it counted. The Huskies were 14-0 on December 30 and ranked No. 1 before starting Big East play. They promptly lost seven of nine and then went untouched until Marquette got them 70-68 in the conference tourney. San Diego State plays really tough defense and never gives you anything easy. They also have something no one else has and is rarely seen today, and that is a veteran senior laden team. A roster that has been together for four and five years. They know each other and are mature enough to handle this moment. Aztecs will keep this close! Take SAN DIEGO STATE! |

04-02-23 | Suns v. Thunder +5.5 | Top | 128-118 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
Phoenix at Oklahoma City 7:00 ET Thunder (+) over Suns- Phoenix has won four consecutive games and are undefeated when Kevin Durant has taken the floor for the Suns. Durant made his bones for nine years as a start for Oklahoma City before starting his sojourn through the NBA. The surprising Thunder at 38-40 ave plenty to play for as they hold the 10th and final play-in spot one-game ahead of Dallas. The Suns are 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to OKC and the Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

Memphis at Chicago 3:30 ET Bulls (+) over Grizzlies- Ja Morant is back and Memphis has won eight of nine and 11 of 13 as they chase Denver for the top spot in the West trailing the Nuggets by two-games. Chicago is chasing Atlanta and Toronto as they sit with a 3-game lead over Washington and are in the final play-in spot. The Grizzlies are just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 road games and 15-22 SU on the road and the Bulls are 31-15-1 ATS in their last 47 home games against teams with losing road records. Taken CHICAGO! |

04-02-23 | Blue Jays +101 v. Cardinals | Top | 4-9 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 41 m | Show |
Toronto at St. Louis 2:30 ET Blue Jays over Cardinals- The Toronto batters have been getting on base but bringing them around to score has been an issue for the Blue Jays. In their opener they scored 10 runs but left 12 men on base and yesterday they fell 4-1 and once again left 12 men on base while going 0-for-11 with men in scoring position. St. Louis will start Jordan Montgomery who was 6-3 with a 3.11 ERA in 11 starts after coming over to the Cardinals from the Yankees in mid season last year. Chris Bassitt (15-9. 3.48) had 32 starts for the Mets last season and gets his first win for the Jays today. Take TORONTO! |

04-01-23 | Clippers +3.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 114-122 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
LA Clippers at New Orleans 8:30 ET Clippers (+) over Pelicans- I just saw New Orleans take apart the Nuggets in Denver and the Clippers get run out in Memphis last night and I wonder if the long trip back home for the Pelicans or the game in Tennessee would be more worrisome. With Zion Williamson in the wings the Pelicans have won eight of nine and starting to garner some attention as they have moved over the .500 mark with five games to play. The Clippers have more then struggled against New Orleans over the years as they are 6-22 ATS in the last 28 meetings in New Orleans and 17-40 ATS in the last 57 meetings overall. I know, is that not amazing. Nothing is 100%...take LA CLIPPERS! |

04-01-23 | Mavs +1.5 v. Heat | Top | 122-129 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
Dallas at Miami 7:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Heat- These two clubs appear to be racing to the bottom as they have fallen off the rails of late. Dallas who was looking to make a run in the West when they acquired Kyrie Irving but they neglected to consider what happens when the world goes flat (welcome to planet Kyrie). The Mavericks have dropped five of six and eight of 11 while Miami had dropped their last three overall. The Heat are not so hot as they are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 overall including just 4-10 ATS at home and the Mavs are 17-6-7 ATS in their last 25 meetings in Miami. Take DALLAS! |

03-31-23 | Hawks v. Nets +2 | Top | 107-124 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
Atlanta at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets over Hawks- It is unbelievable to me that Brooklyn is where they are in the standings as they have a one and half game lead over Miami with six left to play, five of which are at home. Atlanta sits eighth and trails Miami by 1.5-games after winning at home against Cleveland 120-118 Tuesday night. The Hawks are a dreadful 18-40 ATS after a straight-up win and 11-17 ATS against reams with home winning records. Take BROOKLYN! |

03-31-23 | Mets v. Marlins +105 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 105 | 15 h 18 m | Show |
New York Mets at Miami 6:40 ET Marlins over Mets- New York opened the season as expected even defeating last season’s Cy Young Award winner in Sandy Alcantara 5-3 in their Opener. Mets ace Max Scherzer picked up the win as the they rallied late to win. Miami is team of unknowns once again and once again they have talent nobody has heard of as of yet. Tonight’s starter for the Marlins is Jesus Luzardo who was just 4-07 last season threw to a 3.32 ERA, but get this! In 100.3 innings he surrendered just 69 hits with 120 strikeouts. Do the MATH! Take MIAMI! |

03-30-23 | UAB v. North Texas +2 | Top | 61-68 | Win | 100 | 18 h 9 m | Show |
Alabama-Birmingham vs North Texas State 9:30 ET mean green eagles (+) over Blazers- UAB lost to North Texas twice this season before taking them down in the USA conference semi-finals and then lost to Florida Atlantic in the Final. The Mean Green looks terrible on offense with more dribbling than ball movement but they are tenuous on defense. They limited Wisconsin to 13 second half points while and shut them out the final 9:07 playing with half and full court pressure and the Badgers missed 15 of their last 16 shots. North Texas is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings and are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games at neutral sites! Take NORTH TEXAS! |

03-30-23 | Celtics +3 v. Bucks | Top | 140-99 | Win | 100 | 14 h 39 m | Show |
Boston and Milwaukee 8:00 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- After defeating San Antonio by 44 points on Sunday Boston followed that up with a 130-111 loss at Washington on Tuesday. So, I will note that the Celtics are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing 125 points the previous game. The Bucks meanwhile just keep-on, keep-on and have won five of six and seven of nine and off a win at Indiana last night as they return home after four straight on the road. The Bucks are 10-2 ATS with zero rest but also 1-7 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Finally, the Celtics are 18-7-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings in Milwaukee and 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 meetings overall. Take BOSTON! |

Philadelphia at Texas 4:00 ET Rangers over Phillies- Oh Boy! I get to see if Jacob deGrom has overcome his two-year shoulder issues and has returned to his Cy Young form. Philadelphia like most pennant winners lose at lot during the off-season as as talent leaving for greener pastures and your star Bryce Harper is laid-up. Rangers went through some changes and it looks like they are trying to contend. How far they let deGrom pitch is my main concern. Take TEXAS! |

03-29-23 | Clippers +4.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 141-132 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
LA Clippers at Memphis 8:00 ET Clippers (+) over Grizzlies- Ja is back and Memphis is rolling having won their last seven games although they are just 4-5-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Morant did not play in the Grizzlies win over the Magic Tuesday but it is nothing serious and he should be available tonight. Clippers are a surprising 7-3 in their last 10 and are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games but are 0-5 ATS in Memphis. That skid ends tonight. Take LA CLIPPERS! |

03-29-23 | Heat +5.5 v. Knicks | Top | 92-101 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
Miami at New York 7:30 ET Heat (+) over Knicks- Boy, what a call on the Heat as they went down in flames at Toronto last night. A win here for New York would just about clinch finishing the regular season ahead of the Heat. The Knicks are currently fifth in the East and the top six avoid the Play-in games and Miami is eighth. The Heat are coming off a loss at Toronto after getting wasted 129-100 by the Nets on Saturday while the Knickerbockers destroyed Houston Tuesday ending a three game losing streak. Miami will be without Jimmy Butler and New York is without Jalen Brunson who it turns out has been their best player. The Heat are 11-4 ATS at MSG. Take MIAMI! |

03-28-23 | Utah Valley +4.5 v. UAB | Top | 86-88 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
Utah Valley vs UAB 9:15 ET Wolverines vs Blazers- An pair of clubs with 28 wins each square off in Las Vegas in the second NIT game at the Orleans. maybe no one know who Utah Valley actually is but they are cover machine and went 22-5 ATS on the year and are 20-7 in their last 27 games against teams with winning records. UAB has been good to me this season and I like the squad as they are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games at neutral sites but are just 7-15-1 ATS in their last 23 games following an ATS win. Take UTAH VALLEY! |

03-28-23 | Heat +3.5 v. Raptors | Top | 92-106 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
Miami at Toronto 7:30 ET Heat (+) over Raptors- Toronto has struggled since December 9th to reach .500 and tonight is their chance to finally reach the break-even mark. The have failed five times to reach this level and they will have problems getting there tonight. Miami has split their last four games but are off an embarrassing 129-100 home loss to Brooklyn. Tyler Herro expressed his desire to stay away from the play-in games and say the Heat are highly motivated. I believe him. Take MIAMI! |

03-28-23 | Wisconsin v. North Texas -125 | Top | 54-56 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
North Texas vs Wisconsin 7:00 ET Mean Green over Badgers- This is he first NIT Championship for either school but for sure we are more surprised about Wisconsin never having been there. I sort of understand North Texas as they really haven‘t seen on the map since they played football against Mercury Morris and Duane Thomas. It seems strange to me that the Mean Green would be favored as they are not a household name. But they have won 29 games and are 10-3 ATS against wining teams and are 14-6 ATS at neutral sites. Note that Wisconsin is 1-9-2 ATS after a straight-up win. Take NORTH TEXAS |
