MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE RIPPER Pirates left-hander Jose Quintana (1-4, 3.43) is having a solid season, but he rarely receives much run support from a Pirates team that is averaging 3.78 runs per game. Yankees righty Jameson Taillon 9-1, 3.32 ERA) is 4-0 with a 2.70 ERA on the road. The Yankees have won each of his last seven starts, and they won five of those games by two runs or more.

Gray gave up four runs (three earned) over four innings against Cleveland last week, but he owns an ERA of 2.40 over his last three starts. The Twins have won six of his last seven starts.

TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Orioles have the momentum coming into the game riding a four-game winning streak, but the motivational advantage goes to the White Sox as they look to deny Baltimore the four-game sweep. The White Sox bats have been cold through the first three games of the set, but here they get a look at Baltimore righty Jordan Lyles who is 3-4 with an ERA of 6.70 on the road this season and he has posted a 6.48 ERA over his last three starts.

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Dodgers are going through a mini-slump with only two runs over their last six games. The Cleveland Guardians are hot with eight wins over their last nine games. I still like the Dodgers to come through as a favorite in this one. Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias (3-6, 2.80 ERA) has not seen the results go his way this season despite strong outings. Urias fanned 10 while giving up two runs on three hits over six frames at San Francisco in his last start.

NBA GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S NBA PLAYOFFS TOTAL MAJOR WAGER We cashed the under in Game 5 of the NBA finals, a game the Warriors won 104-94 despite shooting 9-for-40 (22%) from 3-point range and Steph Curry going 0-for-9 from behind the arc. I expect the Warriors to keep bombing away, and more successfully, as they can play without as much pressure as Boston, with a potential Game 7 taking place home at Chase Center. If their shots fall, which I assume they will, the Celtics must score to keep up. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

MLB GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S 10* RUNLINE MAJOR WAGER The Los Angeles Dodgers not only won but also covered the runline despite scoring only two runs yesterday, which highlights the kind of mess the Angels are right now. I expect the Dodgers to put up more runs and win big today, facing Angels left-hander Reid Detmers (2-2, 3.83 ERA) who has pitched well at home, but Detmers has a 6.19 ERA over 16 innings on the road. The Angels have lost each of his last four starts. Left-hander Tyler Anderson (7-0, 3.07 ERA) will take the ball for the Dodgers. They've won each of his last five starts, all by at least two runs. For the year, the Dodgers are 5-0 straight up and against the runline as favorites of at least -150 with Anderson on the mound. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5. |

Cardinals rookie left-hander Matthew Liberatore (1-1, 5.54 ERA) last pitched on June 2 and has been recalled from Triple-A Memphis to make his fourth big league start. He held Milwaukee to two hits with six Ks over five scoreless innings in his lone home start to date. Pittsburgh is coming into this game on a seven-game losing streak and it is one of the lowest-scoring teams in baseball averaging only 3.56 runs per game, which drops to 3.39 runs per game on the road. The Cards are winners of three of their last four, and they've scored 18 runs over their last three games. 10* PLAY ON ST. LOUIS CARDINALS -1.5. |

MIKE'S CELTICS/WARRIORS NBA FINALS GAME 5 10* TOTAL TOP PLAY Through the first four games of the NBA finals, we have seen the two teams trade wins and losses and alternate high-scoring with low-scoring affairs. I still expect another low-scoring affair here following a 107-97 Golden State in Boston on Friday. The Celtics are the best defensive team in the NBA, and the Warriors do not get enough credit for their efforts on the defensive end as mostly all we remember are them bombing away from behind the arc. It would take some seriously above average shooting for this to go over, but that'll get less and less likely as the teams get more familiar with each other. Under is 12-3 in Warriors last 15 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 5-0 in Celtics last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home and 18-6 in the last 24 meetings. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

06-13-22 | White Sox v. Tigers UNDER 8.5 | Top | 9-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
MIKE'S WHITE SOX/TIGERS MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY White Sox right-hander Lance Lynn will make his first start of the season, but he was 11-6 with a 2.69 ERA in 2021 and he owns an ERA of 3.21 and in nine career starts against the Tigers. Detroit's bats have been ice cold lately as the Tigers have averaged only 2.4 runs per game over their last 10 games. The Tigers hand the ball to right-hander Rony Garcia (0-1, 4.50 ERA) who gave up six runs in five innings in a loss to Minnesota in his last start. I think Garcia can bounce back with a strong outing here though, facing a White Sox team that has more success against southpaws than right-handers. Under is 11-3-1 in White Sox last 15 road games vs. a right-handed starter and 9-3-1 in White Sox last 13 when their opponent scored 2 runs or less in their previous game (Detroit was shut out by Toronto yesterday). 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

They covered the runline in seven of those wins and they have opened this series with a 3-1 win on Thursday and a 4-2 win on Friday. The Pirates are on a four-game side during which they have mustered only seven runs. Braves righty Charlie Morton (4-3, 5.63 ERA) is not having a great year, but he is 2-0 with a 3.91 ERA at home. Pittsburgh right-hander Zach Thompson (3-4, 4.60 ERA) is 1-2 with a 6.11 ERA on the road. 10* PLAY ON ATLANTA BRAVES. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Colorado Rockies are coming off an upset win at San Francisco. I don't like their chances of pulling an upset here against a San Diego team that has won five of its last six games and scored a total of 42 runs (7 runs per game) during that stretch. The Padres are 9-1 in right-hander Joe Musgrove's 10 starts this year, and Musgrove (6-0, 1.64 ERA) has a 1.44 ERA in five career starts agianst the Rockies.

MIKE'S WARRIORS/CELTICS NBA FINALS GAME 4 TOP PLAY The Boston Celtics hold a 2-1 lead in the series following a 116-100 win on Wednesday. They've struggled with consistency throughout the playoffs though (remember that their last two series both went seven games), and at the end of the last game, the Warriors' stars looked angry and determined rather than deflated. Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Celtics are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

MLB GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* RUNLINE MAJOR WAGER The Rockies have lost five of their last six after taking a 2-1 loss in 10 innings on Wednesday. The Giants bats have gone quiet, but this looks like a good spot for them to heat up again, coming up against Colorado left-hander Austin Gomber (2-6, 6.54 ERA) who has allowed 17 runs over 6 1/3 frames in his last two starts. The Rockies have lost each of Gomber's last five starts, all but one by two runs or more. 10* PLAY ON SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS -1.5. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* WARRIORS/CELTICS NBA TOTAL Golden State took it up a notch defensive in Game 2 and held Boston to 88 points on 38 percent shooting from the field. Now the series moves to Boston, and I expect another low-scoring affair. The Warriors are deadly at home and average 112.6 points per game overall on the season, but that number drops to 109.1 ppg on the road. They clearly do not shoot the ball as well or play at the same high tempo outside of Chase Center, and Boston is arguably the best defensive team in the league. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY Braves right-hander Ian Anderson (4-3, 4.70 ERA) has been roughed up in recent starts, but this looks like a perfect "get right" spot for him. The A's are losers of seven straight. They've scored a total of only 12 runs during that stretch. Oakland hands the ball to rookie left-hander Jared Koenig for his first MLB appareance. He could have asked for an easier opponent in his debut than a Braves team off six straight wins, and they've averaged 6.5 runs per game during that run. 10* PLAY ON ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY Colorado right-hander German Marquez (1-5, 6.71 ERA) has allowed 15 runs over 17 innings in his last three starts. The over is 7-2 in his last nine starts and the team has lost six of his last eight getting outscored by at least two runs in six of those eight games. Since the start of the 2020 season, Marquez has a record of 2-4 with an ERA of 8.13 in 6 appearances against the Giants Giants left-hander Carlos Rodon (4-4, 3.44 ERA) is 0-2 over his last three starts, despite allowing only six runs over 16 1/3 innings on the hill. He held Colorado to two runs over six innings of an 8-5 home win against the Rockies here at Oracle Park last month. The Giants are 5-1 SU and 4-2 against the runline in their previous six games against the Rockies this year. Five of those six games went over the total. 10* PLAY ON SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS -1.5. |

TOP-RATED 10* MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY KC left-hander Daniel Lynch (2-4, 4.81 ERA) was smacked around by Cleveland in his last start, giving up six runs on nine hits with three walks over four innings. Lynch has allowed 12 runs in 13 innings through his last three starts. Toronto's bats are red hot coming into this game having scored six runs or more in eight of their last 10 games. Toronto right-hander Ross Stripling (1-1, 4.22 ERA) has worked out of the bullpen in his last six outings. He's not likely to last long here when filling in for the injured Hyun Jin Ryu, and Toronto's bullpen has an ERA of 4.02 on the season. Over is 6-0 in Blue Jays last 6 games as a favorite. Over is 11-4 in Royals last 15 games as an underdog. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S NBA PLAYOFFS BEST BET Game 1 was a game of runs, and the Celtics got the last laugh after stunning the Warriors by outscoring them 40-16 in the last quarter and going on a 20-5 run over the last six minutes of the game. This is now pretty much a must-win game for the Warriors as heading to Boston down 2-0 in the series would put them in an extremely difficult spot. Bit of a square play, but I expect a blowout win for the Dubs. Warriors are 24-9-1 ATS in their last 34 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Warriors are 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS following a loss this postseason. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

The Blue Jays came into that game riding an eight-game winning streak and they had scored six runs or more in five straight games. I like the Blue Jays to bounce back with a big win tonight. The Blue Jays are perfect 4-0 in righty Jose Berrios (3-2, 5.62 ERA) home starts this year. Minnesota right-hander Dylan Bundy is 1-2 with a 7.50 ERA in five starts on the road this year, and the team record is 1-4 in those games.

While the Celtics have had a decent amount of time to heal up since Game 7 on Sunday, there could easily be some injuries lingering from the tough and physical series against the Heat. The Warriors are 9-0 SU and 7-2 ATS as home favorites in the playoffs. They were favorites of at least 5.5 points in those games.

The Pirates have won the first two games of the set as huge underdogs which can't sit right with the Dodgers.

The previous two games were much lower scoring, with 184 and 173 points respectively. The two teams know each other inside and out by now, and I expect both teams to step up on defense here in this win-or-go-home game. Under is 6-2 in Celtics' last 8 games as a favorite.

Mets right-hander Chris Bassitt (4-2, 3.91 ERA) was slapped around at San Francisco in his last start, but I expect him to bounce back with a strong outing against a Philadelphia team that has lost seven of its last nine games.

The Warriors failed to complete the true sweep, but there's no way they're missing out on this opportunity to complete the "gentleman's sweep" at home. I fully expect them to press the pedal to the metal again after an uninspired performance last time out, and then there's not anything the Mavs can do to stop them. Mavericks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. Warriors are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games. Warriors by double digits. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

The Royals have dropped six in a row and eight of their last 10 games. Minnesota outscored them 22-12 through a three-game sweep in KC May 20-22. Tonight's KC starter Daniel Lynch (2-3, 4.01 ERA) was tagged with four runs in 3 2/3 of a 6-4 loss in that series.

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* CELTICS/HEAT NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Celtics and the Heat have traded wins and losses through the first four games of the series. With the Celtics winning last time out, that should mean that Miami will take this one, but I don't think that will be the case. Boston has been the better team throughout the series (IMO), and the fact that they're a favorite on the road here in Game 5 says a lot. Heat are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 playoff games as an underdog. Celtics are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS |

The Warriors once again proved to be too much to handle, and I don't see them stepping off the gas here in Game 4. Completing the sweep tonight would have them at a significant rest advantage against whichever team comes out of the East, especially with that series looking to go to seven games. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

Houston left-hander Framber Valdez (3-2, 2.68 ERA) is 2-0 with a 2.00 ERA through two career appearances (one start) against Cleveland.

Mavericks are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Mavericks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game.

San Diego right-hander Yu Darvish (3-1, 4.62 ERA) gave up five runs on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings at Atlanta in his last start.

They have scored a total of only six runs over their last four games and been held to three runs or fewer in seven of their last 10 games. The Chicago Cubs have been held to three runs or fewer in six of their last 10 games. Pittsburgh right-hander Dillon Peters (3-1, 1.83 ERA) held the Dodgers scoreless through three innings in his last start. Cubs left-hander Wade Miley's 9.00 ERA for the season looks bad, but it's over a one-game and three-inning sample. Miley owns a 3.64 ERA in 13 career starts against the Pirates. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

05-15-22 | Mavs v. Suns UNDER 205.5 | Top | 123-90 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 59 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* TOTAL The first two games of this series were high-scoring affairs, but the following four games have gone under the total. I fully expect another low-scoring game here in this win-or-go-home matchup where the winner will move on to take on the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals and the loser will, well, go home. The losing team has been held to fewer than 101 points in the last four games, and I would not be surprised if neither team tops 100 points in this one. Under is 15-5-1 in Suns last 21 games playing on 2 days rest and 34-16-1 in Suns last 51 games following a straight up loss. Under is 47-22 in Mavericks last 69 games as an underdog. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-15-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -5 | Top | 81-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 26 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* SIDE The two teams have traded wins and losses throughout this series, with each team winning two games on the road and one at home. The Celtics won 108-95 at Milwaukee on Friday, and I think the alternating of wins and losses stop today. The homecourt advantage should really come in effect here for Game 7, and the Celtics have been the better team in this series IMO. Their role players have mostly been solid while the Bucks' have struggled to contribute much. Celtics are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Bucks are 11-23 ATS in their last 34 games as an underdog. Bucks are 3-12-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |
|||||||
05-15-22 | Brewers v. Marlins OVER 7 | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 40 m | Show |
MIKE'S EARLY MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Miami Marlins have scored 21 runs through their last three games. Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Woodruff (3-2, 5.97 ERA) was roughed up for six runs (five earned) in 4 1/3 innings of a 10-5 loss at Cincinnati in his last start. Each of Woodruff's last three starts has ended with the game going over the total. Miami right-hander Elieser Hernandez (2-2, 6.37 ERA) has allowed 16 runs over his last four starts. Four of his last five starts have gone over the total. The Brewers are averaging a healthy 5.42 R/9 off right-handers. This looks like way too low of a total considering the matchup on the mound. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |
|||||||
05-13-22 | Grizzlies v. Warriors -8 | Top | 96-110 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* GRIZZLIES/WARRIORS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Golden State Warriors had the opportunity to close out this series in Memphis a couple of days ago, but instead, they came out sleepwalking and lost by just under 40 points. I expect the Warriors to bounce back in a big way and finish off the Grizzlies here on the second try. The Grizzlies will once again be without leading scorer Ja Morant, and while they made it work in the last game, one must wonder how much gas is left in the tank after the 134-95 rout. The Warriors will no doubt be motivated, as they look to repay the humiliation. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |
|||||||
05-13-22 | Mariners v. Mets -1.5 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
MIKE'S MLB GAME OF THE MONTH - TOP-RATED 10* RUNLINE The New York Mets are 7-1 straight up and 6-2 against the runline as favorites in series openers this season. I expect a strong outing from Mets righty Max Scherzer (4-1, 2.92 ERA) after seeing his unbeaten streak of 24 games coming to an end last Sunday. Seattle has lost five of left-hander Marco Gonzales' (1-4, 3.91 ERA) six starts this season, all but one by two or more runs. Gonzales has allowed five runs on 14 hits and six walks while serving up four homers over 11 1/3 innings over his last two starts. 10* PLAY ON NEW YORK METS -1.5. |
|||||||
05-12-22 | Heat v. 76ers -2 | Top | 99-90 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 59 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* HEAT/SIXERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY I think the Sixers will go off tonight, facing elimination after getting humiliated in a 120-85 loss in Miami on Tuesday. Both teams have defended their homecourt through the first five games of the series, and the 76ers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite as well as 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The Heat are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Philadelphia. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. |
|||||||
05-11-22 | Warriors -3.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 95-134 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 59 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* WARRIORS/GRIZZLIES TOP PLAY Memphis' star point guard Ja Morant missed Monday's Game 4 loss to the Warriors, and he is doubtful to return at all this postseason. The Grizzlies played surprisingly well without him when Morant missed a part of the regular season, but this is the playoffs and the Warriors will be looking to close this one out tonight and avoid a Game 7. I don't see how the Grizzlies will be able to put up enough points without Morant to keep this close. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |
|||||||
05-11-22 | Rays v. Angels -117 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -117 | 12 h 23 m | Show |
MIKE'S RAYS/ANGELS MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER TOP PLAY The Los Angeles Angels have outscored Tampa Bay 23-3 through the first two games of this series. Rays' left-hander Shane McClanahan (2-2, 3.06 ERA) has allowed five runs and three home runs over 10 1/3 innings in his last two starts combined. Angels' right-hander Shohei Ohtani (3-2, 3.08 ERA) has been lights out lately with a total of only three earned runs allowed through his last four starts. At this price, you just gotta love the hot Halos with their ace on the mound. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES ANGELS. |
|||||||
05-10-22 | Marlins v. Diamondbacks UNDER 8 | Top | 3-9 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 11 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY Diamondbacks' veteran left-hander Madison Bumgarner has found his footing after struggling in his first two seasons in Arizona. Bumgarner (1-1, 1.50 ERA) has been one of the best pitchers in the major leagues this year, and he has allowed only one run over 15 innings in his last three starts combined. Miami hands the ball to left-hander Jesus Luzardo (2-2, 3.08 ERA) who's had a solid start to the year as well, and the D'Backs batting only .185 while averaging 2.76 R/9 against left-handers. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-10-22 | 76ers v. Heat UNDER 209.5 | Top | 85-120 | Win | 100 | 13 h 2 m | Show |
MIKE'S SIXERS/HEAT NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The 76ers tied the series with a 116-108 win at home in Philadelphia on Sunday, but now they're back in Miami where they struggled with their shooting through the first two games of the series. The Heat had allowed 86, 94, 92, 103, and 99 points through their last five games prior to Sunday's defeat. Under is 10-3 in 76ers' last 13 games as a road underdog and 14-3 in Heat's last 17 playoff games as a favorite. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Miami. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* LATE NIGHT MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The San Francisco Giants are 2-1 straight up and against the runline as home favorites of -200 or more. The Colorado Rockies are 1-3 SU and against the RL as underdogs and their opponent is a favorite of -200 or more. The Giants are 3-1 straight up and against the runline in left-hander Carlos Rodon's (3-1, 1.55 ERA) four starts as a favorite this year. 10* PLAY ON SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS. |

MIKE'S CELTICS/BUCKS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Each of the first three games of this best-of-seven series has gone under the total. The maximum points scored was 204 as Milwaukee took a 2-1 lead in the series with a 103-101 win in the last game. I don't see why we would see a different type of game tonight. Under is 8-0 in Bucks last 8 overall and 19-6-2 in Bucks last 27 playoff games as a favorite. Under is 5-1 in Celtics last 6 overall. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

05-08-22 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Cubs | Top | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 52 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Chicago Cubbs are reeling, coming into this game as losrs of seven of their last eight games. The Los Angeles Dodgers are rolling, coming off five five straight wins, all by two runs or more. The Dodgers are 4-1 SU and against the RL in Walker Buehler's five starts this year. Buehler (3-1, 2.12 ERA) has fanned 15 through 14 scoreless innings in his last two starts. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5. |

05-08-22 | Suns -125 v. Mavs | Top | 101-111 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
MIKE'S SUNS/MAVS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns can't be too pleased with their performance in a 103-94 loss to Dallas on Friday. They're still holding a 2-1 lead in the series, and I like Phoenix to bounce back with a win here so they can finish the series at home on Tuesday. The Suns are 17-8 ATS after failing to cover the spread against their opponent in the last meeting and 15-4 ATS facing an opponent they lost straight up to in the last meeting. The Suns are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Dallas. 10* PLAY ON PHOENIX SUNS. |

05-07-22 | Celtics v. Bucks UNDER 213 | Top | 101-103 | Win | 100 | 15 h 9 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* CELTICS/BUCKS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks combined for 190 and 195 points in the first two games of this series. I expect the top-notch defending to continue when the series moves to Milwaukee on Saturday. The Celtics have the best scoring defense in the NBA, and the under is 7-0 in Bucks last 7 overall. Under is 18-6-2 in Bucks last 26 playoff games as a favorite. 10 PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-06-22 | Suns v. Mavs | Top | 94-103 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 36 m | Show |
MIKE'S SUNS/MAVS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns are traveling to Dallas with a 2-0 lead in the series, and a win here would put them in a great position. They won the last game by 20 points and I think that was it for the Mavs. Luka Doncic has averaged 40 points through the first two games of the series, but he's not getting much help. The Suns are 14-3 SU and ATS as favorites of -0.5 to -4 points this season. The Suns are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Dallas. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
|||||||
05-05-22 | Reds v. Brewers UNDER 7.5 | Top | 5-10 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 40 m | Show |
MIKE'S SUPER EARLY MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Milwaukee Brewers put an 18-4 beating on Cincinnati yesterday. For the season, the over/under is 17-25 in games where one of the teams scored 10 runs or more the previous game. Cincinnati's rookie right-hander Hunter Greene (1-3, 6.00 ERA) has 22 strikeouts over his first 18 innings in the majors, and the Brewers are striking out almost nine times per nine innings. I expect plenty of swings and misses from the Brew Crew today as they might feel a bit too frisky looking to repeat yesterday's performance. The Brewers counter with right-hander Adrian Houser (2-2, 2.53 ERA) who's had a solid start to the year, and he struck out eight through six shutout innings against the Cubs in his last start. The Reds are averaging only 3.30 runs per nine innings on the season. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-04-22 | Mavs v. Suns UNDER 216.5 | Top | 109-129 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 40 m | Show |
MIKE'S MAVS/SUNS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns won Game 1 of this Western Conference semifinal series 121-114. Neither team could've been satisfied with their defensive performance, and I expect a much lower final score here as Dallas tries to make it as ugly as possible to keep it close. The Mavs have relied on defense over offense all season long, and the under 6-2 in Suns last 8 games as a home favorite. Under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-04-22 | Angels v. Red Sox UNDER 8.5 | Top | 10-5 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Angels got shut out in a 4-0 loss to Boston on Tuesday. I don't expect them to score many runs tonight either, coming up against Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock (1-1, 0.54 ERA) who has conceded a total of only one earned run while recording 20 strikeouts over 16 2/3 innings this season. The Angels turn to left-hander Reid Detmers (1-1, 5.19 ERA) to get a start instead of Shohei Ohtani. Detmers has given up only three runs on five hits with eight strikeouts over his last two starts. The Red Sox are averaging only 3.60 runs per nine innings on the season. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-03-22 | Warriors v. Grizzlies UNDER 227.5 | Top | 101-106 | Win | 100 | 13 h 3 m | Show |
MIKE'S WARRIORS/GRIZZLIES 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies combined for 233 points in the first game of their Western Conference semi-finals series. Still, the over/under is at 3-8 through the last 11 meetings. I think both teams will play better defense here as they'll be more familiar which each others offensive schemes when matching up for the second time in three days. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-03-22 | White Sox -130 v. Cubs | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER The Chicago White Sox have won only three of their last seven games, but they shut out the Angels yesterday and tonight's starter Michael Kopech (0-0, 1.42 ERA) has allowed only three earned runs over his 19 innings on the mound this season. The Cubs have also dropped seven of their last 10 games, and left-hander Drew Smyly (1-2, 2.79 ERA) has been tagged with six runs on 11 hits (four home runs) over his last two starts. The White Sox are 4-2 against left-handed starters and they are averaging 5.18 runs and only 2.6 strikeouts per nine innings against left-handers. 10* play on Chicago White Sox. |

05-03-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 86-109 | Win | 100 | 13 h 27 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S BUCKS/CELTICS 10* MAJOR WAGER The Milwaukee Bucks won the opener of this Eastern Conference semi-finals series, which puts Boston in a precarious spot here for Game 2. A loss here would put them in an incredbly tough situation, and I expect to see a hyper-motivated Celtics team after coming out flat as a pancake in Game 1. Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss, 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss, and 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings with Milwaukee. 10* play on Boston Celtics. |

05-02-22 | Mavs v. Suns UNDER 215.5 | Top | 114-121 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 25 m | Show |
MIKE'S MAVS/SUNS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Dallas Mavericks have the second-best scoring defense in the league and they held Utah to 100 points or fewer in four of their six meetings in the first round of the playoffs. They know they'll have to stay aggressive on D to have a chance against the top-seeded Suns. Under is 6-1 in Suns' last 7 games as a home favorite and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings with Dallas. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-02-22 | Angels v. White Sox -124 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 7 m | Show |
MIKE'S ANGELS/WHITE SOX MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Chicago White Sox have lost 11 of their last 13 games, but I like them here as they look to earn a tie of this four-game series. The White Sox are averaging 5.30 R/9 against left-handers and Angels' lefty Patrick Sandoval (1-0, 0.00 ERA) could be in for a rough awakening after not allowing a single earned run through his first 15 innings of the season. The White Sox counter with Dylan Cease (2-1, 3.27 ERA) who has been solid, and the White Sox have won three of his four starts. 10* PLAY ON CHICAGO WHITE SOX. |
|||||||
05-01-22 | Warriors -128 v. Grizzlies | Top | 117-116 | Win | 100 | 16 h 35 m | Show |
MIKE'S WARRIORS/GRIZZLIES NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Memphis Grizzlies are the higher seed, but they were taken to six games by Minnesota in the first round while the Warriors swept the Nuggets. The young and hungry Grizzlies have had an impressive year and Ja Morant will be one of the best players in the league for years to come, but they miss the experienced leadership that the Warriors have. I think the fact that the bookmakers made Golden State the favorite here says it all. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. |
|||||||
04-30-22 | Astros v. Blue Jays -120 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
MIKE'S ASTROS/BLUE JAYS MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Toronto Blue Jays took two of three at Houston in their first series last weekend, and I like them to bounce back here after taking a 11-7 loss in the opener of this series Friday night. Toronto right-hander Jose Berrios (1-0, 4.9 ERA) has allowed a total of only three runs over 13 innings in his last two starts combined. He held the Red Sox to two runs on five hits over seven innings in a 6-2 Blue Jays win on April 25, and Toronto has won each of his four starts this year. Houston right-hander Luis Garcia (1-0, 4.60 ERA) pitched in the lone Houston win against Toronto last weekend, but he was rather lucky to not be taking an L after giving up five runs in six innings. The Blue Jays are averaging 5.00 runs per game home at Rogers Centre. The Astros are averaging 3.43 rpg on the road. 10* play on Toronto Blue Jays. |

04-29-22 | Phillies v. Mets -110 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 43 m | Show |
MLB GAME OF THE WEEK - PHILLIES/METS BIG BET ALERT This looks like a great spot to back the New York Mets who had won three straight and five of six prior to a 10-5 loss at St. Louis on Wednesday. They had Thursday off, while the Phillies completed a four-game sweep against Colorado. We have two solid pitchers on the mound in Phillies' Aaron Nola (1-2, 3.74 ERA) and Mets' Tylor Megill (3-0, 2.35 ERA), but the Mets' bullpen has a better ERA at 3.34 against Phillies' 4.17 ERA. Home advantage, rest advantage, and motivation favor the Mets, and I like the price we get on the home team. 10* play on New York Mets. |
|||||||
04-28-22 | Mavs +1 v. Jazz | Top | 98-96 | Win | 100 | 21 h 42 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MAVS/JAZZ BIG BET ALERT The Dallas Mavericks have looked deadly since getting their star player Luka Doncic back in the lineup, and they absolutely wrecked Utah in a 102-77 Game 5 win. The Mavericks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win, 41-16-1 ATS in their last 58 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, and they have covered the spread in the last four games of this series. Can the Jazz bounce back? I don't think so. The Jazz are 5-15-2 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 15-34-3 ATS in their last 52 games following an ATS loss. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |

04-28-22 | Cubs v. Braves UNDER 8.5 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 17 h 9 m | Show |
MIKE'S CUBS/BRAVES MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Over their last six games, the Chicago Cubs have scored 32 runs. That might look impressive at first glance, but keep in mind that 21 of those runs were scored in a single game, against Pittsburgh, on April 23. That leaves 11 runs scored between the other five games, and here they'll face a hot pitcher in Atlanta right-hander Kyle Wright (2-0, 1.06 ERA). Wright has been excellent with only two runs allowed and 26 strikeouts against two walks over 17 innings of work. Cubs' left-hander Drew Smyly (1-1, 2.45 ERA) had opened the season with 9 2/3 scoreless innings before giving up four runs on six hits in five innings against Pittsburgh in his last start. He should bounce back with a strong outing. 10* play on UNDER. |

04-28-22 | 76ers v. Raptors UNDER 211 | Top | 132-97 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 41 m | Show |
SIXERS/RAPTORS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Each of the last four games in this series has gone under the total. Toronto has seemingly figured out how to defend their opponent and held Philly to 38% shooting in a 103-88 win Monday night. The Sixers have the star players and the flair, but both James Harden and Tyrese Maxey have really struggled in recent games. Still facing elimination, it will be in Toronto's best interest to turn this into another scrappy dogfight, and I expect they will succeed. 10* play on UNDER. |

04-27-22 | Astros v. Rangers UNDER 8.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show |
MIKE'S ASTROS/RANGERS MLB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The first game of this series saw eight runs, the second game six runs. I don't expect to see much action over the plate in Game 3 tonight either. Houston hands the ball to Cristian Javier (0-0, 0.00 ERA) for his first start of the season. Javier has worked 8 1/3 frames as a reliever this season, but he is not a complete stranger to starting games and owns a 3.35 ERA over 51 career appearances, 19 starts. Javier has posted a 2.84 ERA over eight career outings (four starts) against the Rangers who turn to Glenn Otto. Otto (1-0, 1.80 ERA) held Oakland to one run on two hits with five strikeouts over five innings in his first, and up until now, only start of the season. 10* play on UNDER. |
