Our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs. Analysis to follow. |

05-09-17 | Rangers -137 v. Padres | Top | 11-0 | Win | 100 | 14 h 56 m | Show |
At 3:40 pm, our selection is on the Texas Rangers over the San Diego Padres. Not much has gone right for Texas so far this season as the former power-house of its Division is just 13-20 and in last place in the AL West, a full eight games behind its cross-state rivals, the Astros. But there have been some bright spots for this club and one of them is RHP A.J. Griffin, who got off to a 2-0 start before landing on the DL with a case of gout in his ankle. Griffin came off the new 10-day DL last Thursday and immediately picked up his third victory with five strong innings (1 earned run, 6 hits) against the aforementioned 'Stros in Houston. He will return to his hometown this afternoon as Griffin not only grew up in nearby El Cajon, but played his college ball at the University of San Diego. It will be the first start of his career against the Padres and you can bet there will be plenty of friends and family in the crowd tonight at Petco Park as Griffin looks to become one of the most surprising 4-0 starters in the league. The Pads will go with veteran RHP Jered Weaver. Weaver allowed a career-high 10 runs in his most recent start against the Rockies on Wednesday and 17 of the 20 runs he’s allowed this season have come via the long ball. Heading into Tuesday, the Rangers are 5-2 in the last seven trips to San Diego. And the Rangers are a perfect 7-0 behind Griffin after he allowed 1 earned run or less in his previous start. Take Texas. MLB Elite Info Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-08-17 | Capitals +105 v. Penguins | Top | 5-2 | Win | 105 | 14 h 54 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Washington Capitals over the Pittsburgh Penguins. As the Caps head into yet another must win situation in the second round of the NHL Playoffs, they would be well served to remind themselves just how dominant they have been in this series, despite being down 3-2. First, there's the issue of shots on goal. The Caps have out-shot the Penguins in the entire series. But they've not only logged more shots in each of the games so far by a whopping 174-115, but that works out to just 23 shots on goal per game for Pittsburgh. That's remarkable when you consider that during the regular season, the Penguins led the NHL with an average of 33.6 shots/game. Second, they've been the more physical team throughout the five games, registering more hits than the Penguins and to a large extent, neutralizing some of Pittsburgh's biggest weapons. In fact, when summarizing why the Pens are leading in this series, you only need to know one name: Marc-Andre Fleury. Were it not for the Pens' net-minder, this series could very easily be over right now with the Caps moving on to the Conference Finals. But the third period of game five exposed some weaknesses in Fleury and for perhaps the first time in the series, he looked mortal. That period was the best that the Caps have played in the five games and if they can repeat that in period one tonight, then they should be able to bring this series back home for a game seven. Take Washington. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-07-17 | Spurs v. Rockets -5.5 | Top | 104-125 | Win | 100 | 18 h 10 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets over the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs started rookie Dejounte Murray at point guard in Tony Parker's stead on Friday. And, though Murray was shaky early on with two turnovers, the Spurs survived to take a 2-1 series lead. Much has been written about the Spurs defense the past two games. San Antonio held the Rockets to under 100 points in back to back games, and that was the first time this year the Rockets failed to reach the century mark in two consecutive games. The Spurs also just held Houston to two of its three lowest-scoring games (of the 90 games it has played) this season. But before one gives ALL the credit to San Antonio, one needs to look further into the data. And one of the primary reasons for Houston's demise in Game 3 was its inability to convert open looks into points. Indeed, the Rockets were a miserable 6-for-35 on uncontested looks in Game 3. Part of that, of course is defense, as the Spurs' defensive strategy was geared toward getting the Rockets to take shots that wouldn't be their first option. But a large part of Houston missing 82.8% of its uncontested looks was just random bad luck. And I'm willing to bet that Houston will convert a much higher rate of its uncontested looks this evening. The Spurs are also a poor 1-9-1 ATS since 2004 when leading 2 games to 1 in a playoff series vs. teams seeded #3 or better. Take Houston minus the points. NBA High Roller Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

05-07-17 | Yankees v. Cubs -127 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -127 | 17 h 9 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Cubs over the New York Yankees. Young RH Luis Severino burst on the scene for the Yankees two seasons ago after being signed as an amateur free agent. That year (2015), the 21-year-old went 5-3 with a 2.89 ERA in 11 starts in pinstripes and looked primed for a major breakout in 2016. But last season was a bust for Severino (as it was for many players on this team) and the Dominican wound up in the bullpen and was looking like trade fodder for the Yanks in the off-season. But New York stuck with him and now it seems like they might be rewarded for their patience as Severino - pitching this year on a $550K salary - seems rejuvenated, and has a 3.86 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in his first five starts. But this will be his toughest test since he faced the Orioles in his season debut, and he'll be on the big stage at Wrigley Field facing the defending MLB Champs. Jon Lester has seen his season go the opposite way of Severino's, as the veteran southpaw is off to a slow start after winning 19 games last season and finishing as the Cy Young runner up. Lester has seen plenty of the Yankees from his days in the AL, and he sure doesn't seem to mind it, going 13-6 with a 3.78 ERA in 29 career starts vs. The Pinstripes. Take the Cubs. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-07-17 | Ducks v. Oilers -119 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 16 h 18 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Oilers over the Anaheim Ducks. If their game five loss to the Anaheim Ducks doesn't motivate the Edmonton Oilers, then likely nothing will be able to. Edmonton looked all but home free on Friday night, taking a 3-0 lead in the game that lasted deep into the third period. But the Ducks fought back and got three unanswered goals in the final four minutes and then scored the game-winner in double overtime to deal a crushing loss to the visitors from Canada. This was also perhaps the greatest goaltending performance by a losing net-minder who allowed four goals as Edmonton's Cam Talbot had to face an incredible 64 shots in the marathon. But the Oilers are 11-3 in their last 14 home games, and I look for them to force a deciding 7th game tonight. Take Edmonton. |
|||||||
05-07-17 | Ducks v. Oilers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-7 | Loss | -135 | 16 h 18 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers 'under' the total. Game five in this series may have gone over the total when the Ducks tied it up at 3-3 late in the third period, but folks in attendance still witnessed some of the best goaltending we've seen this post-season. That's because Oilers net-minder Cam Talbot faced a whopping 64 shots on goal on Friday and he stopped 60 of them. So it's a pretty good bet that the Edmonton defense won't let that happen again in game six as the Oilers feature a pretty good defense here at home. During the regular season, this club allowed an average of just 2.37 goals per game here at Rogers Centre (vs. 2.68 on the road). Anaheim won on Friday and scored four goals in the process, and in these situations where the Ducks are heading out on the road after scoring four or more in a home victory, the under is 18-7 in that next game. Also, for the Oilers, the under is 12-4 in the last 16 games following two or more consecutive overs. Take the 'under.' As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-07-17 | Celtics +4.5 v. Wizards | Top | 102-121 | Loss | -110 | 54 h 1 m | Show |
At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics + the points over Washington. The Wizards blew out Boston on Thursday, 116-89. But we'll back the Celtics to upset Washington on Sunday, as #1-seeded teams are a sensational 21-4 ATS as underdogs off a double-digit playoff loss to foes seeded #3 or worse. Meanwhile, the Wizards are 0-8 SU/ATS vs. Boston in the last 8 meetings where the pointspread was between 2 and 5 points. And NBA teams are 65.3% ATS on the road off Playoff losses by 22+ points. Take Boston. NBA Game of the Year. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-07-17 | Blues v. Predators -163 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 23 m | Show |
At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Nashville Predators over the St. Louis Blues. Of all the second round series, this one is probably the most evenly matched, and usually that means that home ice will end up deciding things. That's pretty much been the case here as, after a road win in game one by the Predators, the home team has reeled off four straight, closely contested victories. Now the series heads back to the Music City with the Preds having a chance to advance to their first-ever Conference Championship with a victory here this afternoon. The Blues not only have their backs against a wall today, but they may be at even more of a disadvantage if top winger Alex Steen misses his second straight game. Steen is battling a lower-body injury and he didn't suit up for Game 5 and is questionable to be ready for today's critical contest. At this stage, even if Steen somehow makes it onto the ice, you have to wonder how effective he will be. The Blues are 0-5 in their last five trips to Nashville. Take the Predators. |
|||||||
05-06-17 | Warriors v. Jazz +5 | Top | 102-91 | Loss | -105 | 32 h 7 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz + the points over Golden State. The Warriors have had their way with most teams over the past several years. But Utah's been competitive, and is 10-9 ATS the last 19 meetings, including 5-3 ATS at home. It's true that Golden State hasn't lost yet this post-season. And that it's won five of its six games by 11+ points. Unfortunately for the Warriors, .587 (or better) teams are an awesome 22-0 ATS in the Playoffs since 1991, if they are matched up against .753 (or better) foes off back to back wins by more than 10 points, and our 'play-on' team (here, Utah) is not facing elimination. Take Utah. NBA ELITE INFO WINNER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-06-17 | Penguins v. Capitals -165 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 16 h 42 m | Show |
At 7:15 pm, our selection is on the Washington Capitals over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Just like the scene in the movie "Groundhog Day", the Capitals keep waking up every post-season to the same old song. And that song isn't a happy one. Once again the Caps find themselves on the brink of elimination, down 3-1 against the Penguins and if there's ever a scene that's been repeated time and time again in the NHL playoffs over the past decade, it's this one with the Caps about to exit early after having dominated just about everyone in the regular season. Tonight they come home where they've yet to beat the Penguins in this series, but they're the decided favorite in game five in an obvious must-win situation. One can certainly see a scenario play out where the Caps win tonight with the Pens holding Sidney Crosby out one more game, and then going to Pittsburgh for a game six where they are decided underdogs against Crosby and his mates. It's no secret by now that the Caps have out-played the Pens in just about every aspect of the game through the first four contests, and they probably feel like if they can do it again, then they could actually win convincingly tonight and go into game six at least with some momentum. The home team is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings; Washington is 12-3 when playing with 2 days' of rest; and the Caps are 58-24 at home then the total was 5 goals or less. Take Washington. NHL GAME OF THE MONTH. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-06-17 | Red Sox -150 v. Twins | Top | 11-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Red Sox over the Minnesota Twins. Friday night brought yet another win for the surprising - no make that VERY surprising - Minnesota Twins. And this one was dramatic as career Twin Joe Mauer hit his first-ever walk-off home run to beat the Red Sox, 4-3 here at home. At 15-12, the Twins aren't exactly setting Major League records, but first place is first place, and although almost nobody thinks they'll be atop the Central Division come September, the Twins attitude right now is that they'll enjoy it while it lasts. Game two of the series is this afternoon, and the pitching match-up gets a bit tougher for the Minnesota line-up as reigning Cy Young winner RH Rick Porcello takes the hill for the Sox. Porcello didn't have a very good April, going 1-3 with a 4.75 ERA in five starts, and although he started out the month of May with his fourth loss, he pitched very well against a very good Orioles lineup, allowing two runs on five hits in six innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. It was actually Porcello's third straight quality start and over those last three he has a 1.83 ERA and 1.07 WHIP, allowing just 16 hits in 19 2/3 innings. So the victories should come as the Red Sox hitters start to heat up and they should be able to do some of that today against RHP Nick Tepesch, who gets his first-ever start for the Twins. Tepesch is 9-18 with a 4.68 ERA in 43 career games. Take Boston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-05-17 | Dodgers -152 v. Padres | Top | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 21 h 57 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers over the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers' Japanese import, RHP Kenta Maeda had a very successful rookie season in 2016, winning 16 games with a 3.48 ERA in 32 starts and finishing third in the NL Rookie of the Year voting. This season hasn't gone nearly as well so far, as Maeda is 2-2 with a 6.58 ERA in his first five starts. But the funny thing is, if you look at some of Maeda's other metrics, his numbers are actually just as strong as they were last season. For example, Maeda has 27 strikeouts and six walks in his 26 innings, for a strikeout rate of 9.3 (he had a 9.2 rate in 2016) and a K:BB ratio of 4.50 (better than his 3.58 last season). His problem however is that his hit rate is up considerably (10.0 from 7.7 last season) and in particular he has allowed 2.4 HRs/Game as compared to just 1.0 per game in 2016. This shouldn't be a problem tonight for him as the Padres are hitting an NL-worst .221 on the season so far. Last year, Maeda went 2-1 with a 3.27 ERA and 0.73 WHIP in four starts covering 22 innings vs. San Diego. Expect more of the same tonight as Maeda begins lowering that ERA towards the number he put up in 2016. The Dodgers are 47-22 in the last 69 meetings. Take L.A. MLB High Roller. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-05-17 | Spurs v. Rockets -4.5 | Top | 103-92 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 30 m | Show |
At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets minus the points over the San Antonio Spurs. We played on San Antone in Game 2, and the Spurs rewarded us with a 121-96 victory. However, the Silver and Black suffered a massive blow when Tony Parker's quadriceps tendon ruptured late in the game to end his season. It's true that Gregg Popovich is the league's best coach. But one negative situation for the Spurs in the Playoffs is how they perform as underdogs off 20-point (or better) blowout wins. They've covered just 22% in this role since 2000. Take Houston. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-05-17 | Spurs v. Rockets UNDER 215 | Top | 103-92 | Win | 100 | 20 h 28 m | Show |
At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Houston/San Antonio game to go 'under' the total. The Spurs tightened up their defense in Game 2, and held the high-octane Rockets to just 96 points (Houston scored less than 96 points just once in its 89 games this season). That bodes very well for a relatively low-scoring game tonight. Additionally, the Spurs will be without their floor leader (and 2nd leading scorer in these playoffs), Tony Parker, who sustained a season-ending injury in Game 2. Finally, eight of the last nine meetings between these teams in Houston have gone 'under' the total, including all four the past two seasons. Take the 'under.' NBA Total of the Month. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

05-05-17 | Predators v. Blues -109 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 18 h 20 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the St Louis Blues over Nashville. The Blues dropped both road games in Tennessee to fall behind in this series, 3 games to 1. But with their backs against the wall, we'll back the Blues on Friday night. At the very least, St. Louis will gain confidence from the knowledge it has dominated Nashville here at Scottrade Center, with 11 wins in the last 15 meetings. St. Louis has been at its best off back to back losses, as it's 29-13 its last 42. And it's 12-3 off back to back road losses. Additionally, the Blues are a solid 17-9 at home when the total is 5 goals or less. Meanwhile, Nashville's an awful 1-6 after winning 8+ games of their previous 10. And it's won just 9 of 27 road games off a win in its previous game. Take the Blues. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-05-17 | Cavs v. Raptors +3 | Top | 115-94 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 49 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors + the points over Cleveland. Cleveland comes into tonight's game with a 2-0 series lead, and has done it with back to back blowout wins. Unfortunately for LeBron James & Co., teams up exactly 2 games in a playoff series have covered just 35% of the time if they won each of their two previous games by more than 10 points. Take Toronto + the points. |
|||||||
05-05-17 | Cavs v. Raptors UNDER 214.5 | Top | 115-94 | Win | 100 | 18 h 49 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the 'under' in the Toronto/Cleveland game. The Cavaliers scored 116 and 125 points in their two home wins to commence this series. And both games went 'over' the total. But the Cavaliers have generally gone 'over' the total in their home playoff games of late, and 'under' the total in their road playoff games. Indeed, Cleveland's gone 16-8-1 'under' the total their last 25 road playoff games, including 11-2-1 'under' if the line was 199+ points (compared to a 22-11-1 'over' run at home). Take the 'under' in the Raptors/Cavaliers game. |

05-04-17 | Jazz +12.5 v. Warriors | Top | 104-115 | Win | 100 | 35 h 58 m | Show |
At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz + the points over Golden State. The Warriors won Game 1, as expected, by double-digits. And they've yet to lose in the Playoffs. But this Game 2 will be closer than most expect. Indeed, home favorites of -12 or more points have covered just 26% of the time the past 28 years if they're off a Playoff win, and are not trailing in their series. Meanwhile, Utah's a solid 79% since May 9, 1991 as underdogs of more than 8 points in the Playoffs. Finally, #1-seeded teams are a horrid 39-68 ATS as favorites in Game 2 of a series off a win in Game 1. Take Utah. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-04-17 | Celtics v. Wizards -5 | Top | 89-116 | Win | 100 | 38 h 44 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards minus the points over Boston. The Celtics held serve at home, and now lead this Best-of-Seven series 2 games to none. But we'll go against the Celtics, as they scored more than 115 points in each of their two previous games. And teams off a Playoff win, in which they scored 116 or more points, are an awful 32% ATS since 1991 if they also scored 116 points two games back, including 0-8-1 ATS the past two seasons. Take Washington. |
|||||||
05-04-17 | Celtics v. Wizards UNDER 219.5 | Top | 89-116 | Win | 100 | 38 h 44 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the 'under' in the Boston/Washington game. The Celtics won Game 2 by a score of 129-119, and also scored over 120 points to win the opening game of this series. So, the knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the Over in this Game 3 tonight. But I wouldn't do that, if I were you. Consider that, over the past 28 years, teams that scored 129+ in a Playoff victory have gone 'under' in their next game 75% of the time if the over/under line was greater than 218 points. Moreover, the Celtics have gone 'under' in seven straight road Playoff games, and 10 of their last 11 in the Post-Season since 2013. Take the 'under.' |

05-03-17 | Rockies -118 v. Padres | Top | 11-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 38 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Rockies over the San Diego Padres. If you've never heard of RHP Antonio Senzatela, you're probably not alone. The Venezuelan Rookie has come out of virtually nowhere to become an effective starter for the Rockies. And the fact that Senzatela had his first non-quality start in his last outing can be forgiven when you consider a couple of things. First, that start - Senzatela's fifth of the season - was at his home ballpark in Denver which happens to be the most hitter-friendly in the league. Second - and more important - Senzatela was facing the Washington Nationals. When you consider what the Nats did in April - including a 23-run outburst in the last game of the month against the Mets - then Senzatela's four earned runs in six innings against DC last Thursday really isn't bad at all. Now he goes from one extreme to the other as the Rockies rookie will face the anemic offense of the Padres, whose .223 team batting average ranks them next-to-last in the league. RH veteran Jered Weaver will get the start for the Padres and once again, Weaver's Achilles' heel has been the long-ball. Weaver - who allowed a league-high 37 dingers last year - has already given up 10 in his first five starts of 2017. And San Diego's an awful 0-5 in those five starts. Take the Rockies. MLB Road Warrior. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-03-17 | Rockets v. Spurs -5 | Top | 96-121 | Win | 100 | 15 h 23 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Houston. The Spurs were blasted in Game 1, and lost by 27 points, as a 6-point favorite. And it wasn't even that close. The Rockets could have won by 40 had they not called off the dogs. But it's a new day, and a new game, and we'll back the Silver and Black tonight. Since 1991, in the NBA Playoffs, road underdogs of +3 or more points are a miserable 66-120 ATS off a win, if they're matched up against a .600 (or better) foe off a double-digit loss. And NBA teams that failed to cover by 33+ points are 90% ATS in the Playoffs since 1991 when the line has been less than 9 points. Take San Antonio. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

05-03-17 | Capitals -121 v. Penguins | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -121 | 13 h 15 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Washington Capitals over the Pittsburgh Penguins. At the start of the season, our pick was on Washington at 9-1 odds to win the Stanley Cup, and I am still convinced they will win it this season. Indeed, we played on Washington in Games 2 and 3 of this series, and certainly won't back off them tonight, after what happened on Monday. When Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby went down in a heap at the start of the last game, you could hear everyone in the PPG Paints Arena gasp. It was a nasty cross-check to the head by the Caps Matt Niskanen that put Crosby down and Niskanen was rightfully assessed a game misconduct (although the replay clearly shows that there was no bad intent in Niskanen's action). Still, the Caps will take that trade any day of the week, and now the Pens have to play without their star captain for at least one game, while the Caps go into tonight knowing that another win like the one they had on Monday puts them right back in this series. The fact of the matter is that - Crosby or no Crosby - the Caps have out-played the Pens in each of the first three games. They out-shot them again on Monday, though not to the extent they did on their home ice, and they've out-hustled and out-hit them as well. We have finally started to see Pens' goalie Marc-Andre Fleury show some vulnerability. And Fleury is pretty much the only reason the Caps don't lead this series 3-0. The Caps got another huge monkey off their backs on Monday by winning in Pittsburgh for the first time in their last seven trips here, and they're 8-1 after notching 33+ shots on goal in their three previous games. I look for them to even up the series on Wednesday. Take Washington. NHL High Roller Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-02-17 | Jazz v. Warriors -13.5 | Top | 94-106 | Loss | -107 | 20 h 48 m | Show |
At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors minus the points over Utah. The Warriors won their first series 4 games to none vs. Portland, and I've been predicting since the preseason that the Warriors would go 16-0 in these Playoffs. Tonight is Game 1 vs. Utah, and the Warriors will have the distinct advantage of playing this series with seven days off since their last game. And that's a big advantage, as teams off 4-0 series sweeps have covered 73% of the time the past 26 years in Game 1 vs. foes off a series which went the distance. Utah did win the last regular season meeting between these teams, but it's still just 2-13 vs. the Warriors the past four seasons (6-9 ATS). And the Warriors are a super 20-3 SU and 19-4 ATS at home when playing with revenge vs. .428 (or better) teams. Take Golden State. NBA High Roller Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

05-02-17 | Angels v. Mariners -141 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -141 | 19 h 12 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Los Angeles Angels. There was great expectation that Mariners LHP James Paxton would have a breakout season in 2017 after the former first round pick (of the Blue Jays) seemed to be improving in each of his first four seasons (all with Seattle). But it's likely nobody thought that the now-28-year-old would be this dominant early on. Paxton is putting together an All-Star first half with a 3-0 record in five starts and a 1.39 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 10.9 strikeout rate and K:BB ratio of 6.50. Needless to say, those numbers place Paxton among the league leaders in almost every category. He'll go for his fourth victory tonight against the Angels, a team he's done very well against in the past (even when he wasn't this dominant). In seven starts against the Halos in his career, Paxton is 3-2 with a 2.17 ERA and 0.83 WHIP in just under 46 innings. This will be his first start vs. Los Angeles this season, and it's probably the worst Angels lineup he's faced to date. The Halos are also very banged up right now so the fact that they've managed a winning record (barely) is really quite amazing. But their lineup is pretty bad against southpaws, having scored just 16 runs against left-handed pitching (18 games) so far in 2017. Take the Mariners. Mound Mismatch Massacre. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-01-17 | Rockets v. Spurs -5.5 | Top | 126-99 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 41 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Houston. A lot will be made of the MVP Runner-up match-up between Kahwi Leonard and James Harden. But this is also a series which pits two long-time coaching rivals, Gregg Popovich and Mike D'Antoni. And coach Popovich has dominated their 4 playoff series match-ups, as his Spurs have gone 16-4 SU and 13-5-2 ATS vs. D'Antoni's teams. And this dominance has occurred even though D'Antoni's teams were the higher seed in two of the four series. The Spurs won all four Game 1s in those series (including two outright upset wins), and were 11-1 SU and 10-2 ATS in Games 1, 2 and 3 combined! That doesn't bode well for Houston tonight. Certainly, one of Popovich's greatest strengths is his ability to game-plan. And that is best evident in his team's success in the opening game of a Playoff series. The Spurs are currently on a 14-1 SU and 11-4 ATS run over the past six years in the first game of a series. And, in the 2nd round of the Playoffs, since 1998, the Spurs are 11-4 SU/ATS in the first game of a series, including a perfect 6-0 SU/ATS when priced from -4.5 to -8.5 points. It's true that the Spurs franchise has never defeated the Rockets franchise in the post-season. Indeed, the Spurs have had more futility against the Rockets (0 wins in three post-season series) than against the other five franchises they've faced in the Playoffs, but never defeated. However, the Spurs have never faced the Rockets in the Gregg Popovich Era, so this will be a great opportunity for the Spurs to finally notch a post-season series win vs. their Texas rival. San Antonio also falls into a super 66-26 ATS Playoff system of mine. Take the Spurs minus the points to win Game 1. NBA ELITE INFO WINNER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

05-01-17 | Capitals +109 v. Penguins | Top | 3-2 | Win | 109 | 15 h 46 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Washington Capitals over Pittsburgh. We played on Washington in Game 2, and lost. But the Caps have to be heartened, somewhat, by the fact that they've dominated the Penguins in terms of shots on goal (71-45 in the series), even though they have nothing to show for it. The problem on Saturday was that Vezina Trophy finalist Braden Holtby allowed three goals on 14 shots through the first two periods. So, after two periods, the Capitals trailed 3-1, even though they had 27 shots on goal (to Pittsburgh's 14) and 59 total shot attempts (to Pittsburgh's 27). After Game 2, the players had a private meeting, and one of the focal points of discussion was that they did a lot of things right in the first period of that game, but got frustrated by not being able to score a goal, so they lost their patience in the 2nd period, and unraveled. I expect Washington to play a much better game at the Igloo tonight. Washington is a solid 20-8 on the road (+12 games on the moneyline) when playing with double-revenge. And it's 11-1 after allowing more than 4 goals in its previous game, and 14-3 after a loss by more than 2 goals. Take the Capitals. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-30-17 | Angels v. Rangers -101 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -101 | 3 h 13 m | Show |
At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Texas Rangers over the Los Angeles Angels. It seems like the Los Angeles Angels always have one of the longest lists of injured players in the league, and this season is certainly no exception. The pitching staff has been decimated by various maladies, including both the rotation and bullpen. With regard to the starters, injuries to Tyler Scaggs and Garrett Richards have necessitated the Halos to dig deep into their reserve. So that means that RHP JC Ramirez will get his fourth start of the season this afternoon. A reliever throughout his career, Ramirez got the chance to start games this season at the age of 28 and although he is 2-0 in his relief role in 2017, he has yet to win as a starter, going 0-2 with a 4.15 ERA, not exactly the type of numbers that instill confidence. The Rangers will go with LH Martin Perez who is a better pitcher than his overall record would indicate. Were it not for a poor effort two starts back against the Athletics on April 19, Perez would have quality starts in every trip to the hill this season. The good news for him this afternoon is that the Angels' lineup has struggled mightily against southpaws so far this season. The Angels have plated just 16 runs and are batting just .199 for the season against lefties. Take the Rangers. |

04-29-17 | Penguins v. Capitals -141 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -141 | 15 h 53 m | Show |
At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Washington Capitals over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Caps have fallen behind in yet another playoff series against the Penguins, so the fact that they are down 1-0 at home is certainly no surprise. What is a bit surprising is that Washington out-played, out-shot, and out-hit their Eastern rivals almost the entire game, yet still came up short. The Penguins managed just 21 shots on goal in game one on Thursday night, but thanks to one 52-second stretch to begin the second quarter, they were able to upset the President's Trophy winners at Verizon Center, where game two will take place tonight. Without question, this is a must-win situation for DC, who was more physical in game one as the Caps out-hit the Penguins by a lopsided 41-17 margin. So the Caps have to be feeling at least a little positive about the fact that the game one result was more about bad luck and bad timing than anything else. That being said, the Caps will have to find a way to get the Pens to draw some penalties in games two (DC had zero power play opportunities in game one). Also, look for the Caps to be even more aggressive tonight in an effort to even the series. The Caps have a habit of coming back strong in situations like this, as they are 67-36 off a loss and 63-28 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game (and 19-4 at home off back to back games of scoring 2 or less goals). Moreover, notwithstanding the result of Game 1, the home team has still won eight of the last nine in this series. Finally, Washington is 28-14 when playing with double revenge, including a perfect 5-0 if it lost each of its two previous games to its opponent by exactly one goal. Take Washington. NHL Game of the Year. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-29-17 | White Sox v. Tigers -161 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -161 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Tigers over the Chicago White Sox. We've often seen when a young starting pitcher wins the Rookie of the Year award, he comes back the following season and has a letdown. Such has not been the case for the Tigers' 24-year-old RH, Michael Fulmer. Fulmer took home that ROY hardware last season with a ledger that included an 11-7 record, a 3.06 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP in 26 starts covering 159 innings. So far for 2017, Fulmer has kept up those types of numbers, going 2-1 with a 2.88 ERA over his first four starts. He will look to continue to prove that 2016 was no fluke as he faces the White Sox for the third time in his career. He's never lost to the Sox - but he's never gotten a W against them either, so he'll try to add them to a growing list of teams he's beaten. Fulmer can certainly thank his teammates for helping him collect that ROY award as he usually gets excellent run support from the Tiger bats. That support was on display in Fulmer's last start as he picked up his second win of the season in a 16-4 shellacking of the Twins. Detroit has now won five of Fulmer's last six starts, and is also 10-0 in Fulmer's starts when priced from -125 to -175, and 11-0 when Fulmer has pitched in the afternoon. Finally, despite their victory on Friday night, the White Sox are just 17-43 in their last 60 visits to Detroit. Take the Tigers. MLB Game of the Month. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-28-17 | Clippers v. Jazz UNDER 193 | Top | 98-93 | Win | 100 | 19 h 18 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the 'under' in the LA Clippers/Utah Jazz game. These two clubs have been two of the better defensive teams over the past two seasons. The Jazz finished with the 3rd best defensive efficiency rating this season (behind the Spurs and Warriors), while the Clippers were 12th. Last season, both teams finished in the Top 10 in defensive efficiency (Clippers #6; Jazz #7). Not surprisingly, most of the Jazz games have gone 'under' the total when the line was 190+ points (78-55-2 'under'). Moreover, the Jazz have played seven of their last nine playoff games 'under' the total, while the Ciippers' last 12 Playoff games have gone 'under' eight times. Finally, tonight's Jazz/Clippers game falls into a 77-37 Totals system of mine. Take the 'under.' Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-28-17 | Clippers +6 v. Jazz | Top | 98-93 | Win | 100 | 10 h 57 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clips were upset in Game 5 by the Jazz and now trail 3 games to 2. But road dogs of +2.5 or more points, off an upset loss in Game 5, are 8-0 ATS in Game 6 if they trail in the series, and their opponent's win percentage is .667 or worse. Take Los Angeles. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie |

04-28-17 | Twins v. Royals -126 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -126 | 17 h 0 m | Show |
At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the Kansas City Royals over the Minnesota Twins. Veteran RHP Ian Kennedy gets the start for the Royals in the first game of this three-game set at home against the Twins. Kennedy is attempting to build on a pretty successful 2016 - his first season with the Royals - in which he won 11 games and posted a 3.68 ERA in 33 starts. So far, he's done just about everything right in his first four starts of 2017, but he simply hasn't found a way to win as he is 0-2 with an outstanding 2.08 ERA in 26 innings. After a rough first start against this same Minnesota club on the road to open his season on April 5, Kennedy has thrown three consecutive quality starts and in his last two he's allowed just one run on six hits in 15 innings with 13 strikeouts and five walks. He'll look for some revenge tonight - along with that elusive first victory - vs. a team that he's put up decent numbers against in his career (that April 5 start not withstanding). Kennedy is 4-2 with a 3.78 ERA in eight starts vs. the Twinkies covering just under 48 innings. Minnesota is also a poor 27-56 in the last 83 meetings. Take the Royals. MLB High Roller Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie |

04-28-17 | Celtics v. Bulls UNDER 204 | Top | 105-83 | Win | 100 | 17 h 53 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Celtics and Bulls to go 'under' the total. Seven of the nine meetings between these clubs have gone 'under' the total. Additionally, Boston's been playing predominantly low-scoring games of late, as it's gone 'under' 12-3-1 its last 16 games. Meanwhile, the Bulls have gone 'under' 23-10 at home their last 33 games. Finally, dating back to 2009, the Celts have played nine straight Playoff Game 6s 'under' the total, while the Bulls have gone 'under' in Game 6 a whopping 79% of the time since May 29, 1992 (15 'unders' and 4 'overs'). Take the 'under.' |

04-28-17 | Predators v. Blues -114 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 46 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the St Louis Blues over Nashville. The Predators continued their perfect run through these playoffs, as they defeated the Blues in Game 1 for their 5th straight post-season win. But St. Louis is a sensational 23-6 at home off a home loss, and 69-44 off a loss, generally. Meanwhile, the Predators are an awful 31-51 after scoring more than 3 goals, including 2-10 after scoring more than three goals in a road win. Take St. Louis to even things up tonight. NHL Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-28-17 | Wizards v. Hawks UNDER 210 | Top | 115-99 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 24 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards 'under' the total. These two Southeast Division rivals have gone 'under' the total in six of the last eight meetings, and I foresee another relatively low-scoring game tonight. Indeed, Game 6 of a Playoff series between division rivals have gone 'under' 65.1% since 1991. And the Hawks have gone 'under' 10 straight times when playing a Game 6 in the Playoffs. Finally, the 'under' falls into a 188-130 Totals System of mine. Take the 'under.' |

04-28-17 | Wizards +3 v. Hawks | Top | 115-99 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards over Atlanta. The home team has won all five games in this series, but road teams are 9-0 SU/ATS their last nine in the Playoffs in Game 6 if the home teams had won the first 5 games of the Playoff series. Take the points with Washington. |

04-27-17 | Padres v. Diamondbacks -161 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 19 h 13 m | Show |
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Diamondbacks over the San Diego Padres. The Seattle Mariners finally gave up on the pitcher who was once their top prospect, and shipped RH Taijuan Walker off to Arizona for Jean Segura and Mitch Haniger. So far, that trade has worked out much better for the M's than the D-Backs as Walker's Arizona career is off to a bit of a slow start. The 24-year-old is 2-1 with a 4.57 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in his four starts. However, the news isn't all bad and there is plenty of time for Walker to turn things around. First, although his outings haven't all gone the way he would have liked, the D-Backs have won three of Walker's starts. Second, he has had to face the Dodgers and Giants twice each in his four starts, so he gets some class relief tonight facing the Padres, who have won just nine games this season. In two career starts covering 12 innings against the Pads, Walker owns a 1.50 ERA and 0.50 WHIP and he also owns a 3.31 career ERA in inter-league games. Heading into Thursday, Arizona is an incredible 18-5 in their last 23 home games. Take the Diamondbacks. MLB Roadkill Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-27-17 | Raptors v. Bucks -1.5 | Top | 92-89 | Loss | -103 | 16 h 50 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Toronto. The Bucks dropped Games 4 and 5 to the Raptors to fall behind in the series, 3 games to 2. And neither game was close, as the Bucks lost Game 5 by 25 points, and Game 4 by 11. But we'll look for Jason Kidd's men to even up the series tonight, as they're 35-9 ATS at home off back to back losses, including a perfect 9-0 ATS if they failed to cover the point spread by more than 11 points in their previous game. Even better: NBA teams off a pointspread loss in the Playoffs by 15 or more points have covered 57% since 1991. And Toronto's an awful 0-6 ATS in the Playoffs the past four seasons off back to back wins. Take Milwaukee. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
04-27-17 | Marlins -105 v. Phillies | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the Miami Marlins over the Philadelphia Phillies. The Marlins are off to a better-than-expected start to the season and a lot of that is due to what appears to be a greatly improved offense - especially in the power department. Last season, the Fish finished the year with only 128 home runs, which ranked them next-to-last in the NL in that department. This year, so far, they're on pace for over 200 by season's end. Of course, it helps have Giancarlo Stanton back and healthy (the slugger missed significant time in 2016). Miami will hand the ball to veteran RH Edinson Volquez. In three career starts here, Volquez is 2-0 with a sparkling 1.89 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 19 innings pitched. Take the Fish. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-26-17 | Bulls v. Celtics UNDER 202 | Top | 97-108 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 27 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the 'under' in the Boston/Chicago game. The Bulls' offense took a dive without Rajon Rondo in Games 3 and 4. After scoring 106 and 111 points to start the series, the Bulls managed to score just 87 and 95 without their floor leader. Not surprisingly, both games without Rondo went 'under' the total. On Wednesday, we'll once again look for a low-scoring game, as six of the eight meetings this season between these two teams have gone 'under' the total. Also, Boston is 56-42 'under' off a win, while Chicago is 28-14 'under' off a loss. Finally, the 'under' falls into a 187-130 Playoff Totals System of mine. Take the 'under.' Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 6 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Washington Wizards minus the points over Atlanta. The Wizards dropped Games 3 + 4 by 18 and 10 points, respectively. But home favorites priced from -4.5 to -12 points, off a loss by 7+ points, are an awesome 60-23 ATS in the playoffs vs. division rivals since 1991. And the Wizards are 6-1-2 ATS their last nine games at home vs. Atlanta when playing with revenge. Take Washington. NBA Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-25-17 | Grizzlies v. Spurs -9.5 | Top | 103-116 | Win | 100 | 42 h 54 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Memphis. The Spurs and Grizzlies are tied at 2-games apiece, so Tuesday's Game 5 will be pivotal in the determination of the ultimate winner. Memphis upset the Spurs, in Overtime, on Saturday, but that doesn't bode well for David Fizdale's troops on Tuesday. And that's because the Spurs, under Gregg Popovich, are 21-3 ATS vs. foes off an upset win, if the series is tied, and the Spurs have a better won/loss record. Take San Antone. NBA High Roller. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-24-17 | Bucks +6 v. Raptors | Top | 93-118 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 12 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks + the points over Toronto. We played on the Raptors on Saturday, as our NBA Game of the Month, and cashed when the Raptors upset Toronto, 87-76, as a 2.5-point underdog. But we'll switch gears and take the points with Milwaukee today, as road dogs priced from +3.5 to +9 points, that failed to cover by more than 13 points in their previous playoff game, are 63% ATS since 1991. Even better: the Bucks are 7-2 their last 9 off a loss, while Toronto is an awful 13-31-2 ATS in the Playoffs since 2007, including 1-4 ATS off an upset win, and 4-16-2 ATS as a favorite. Take Milwaukee. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-24-17 | Bucks v. Raptors UNDER 192 | Top | 93-118 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 11 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Toronto/Milwaukee game 'under' the total. These two teams have met 12 times since 2015 when the game was priced with a point spread of less than 8 points. In 11 of those 12 (92%), the game has gone 'under' the total, including Saturday's game, won by Toronto, 87-76. I look for another low-scoring game tonight, as this series is tied at 2 games apiece. And NBA Playoff series have gone 'under' 62.6% of the time since 1991 if the two teams combined for 180 or less points in the previous game, and the Playoff series had advanced to Game 5 (or later). Take the 'under.' Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-23-17 | Yankees v. Pirates -110 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show |
At 1:35 pm, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Pirates over the New York Yankees. After being signed as an amateur free agent in 2004, RHP Ivan Nova spent his first six MLB seasons with the Yankees, with mostly mixed results. He began the 2016 season in the Bronx as well, but with Nova scheduled to hit free agency soon, and the Yanks looking to shed some salary, they dealt him to the Pirates for the famous "players to be named later". Pittsburgh signed Nova to an affordable three-year deal back in December, and so far he's been making them look pretty smart in doing so. After his first three starts of 2017, Nova has a 2.25 ERA and 0.95 WHIP and even though he hasn't been striking anybody out (just 8 K's in 20 innings) he also has yet to issue a walk. Needless to say, this is a big game for Nova because it will be the first time that he has faced his former team. However, Nova's numbers in inter-league games are very impressive: 9-3 with a 2.58 ERA in 18 appearances (17 starts) covering 115 inter-league innings. Take the Bucs. MLB Roadkill play. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-23-17 | Cavs v. Pacers +4 | Top | 106-102 | Push | 0 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers + the points over Cleveland. The Pacers blew a huge lead in Game 3, and now trail the Cavaliers 3 games to none. The knee-jerk reaction might be to play against the Pacers under the belief that they'll have nothing left following their collapse in Game 3. But teams down 3 games to none are 6-1 straight-up, and a perfect 7-0 ATS since 2013 when priced as an underdog of 6 points or less. Take Indiana. |
|||||||
04-23-17 | Cavs v. Pacers UNDER 213 | Top | 106-102 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the 'under' in the Cleveland/Indiana game. This is an elimination game for Indiana, and elimination games tend to be hard-fought and go 'under' the total. And especially those that are competitively-priced with pointspreads less than 5 points, and have high over/under lines greater than 210 points, as those have sailed 'under' 75% since 2006. Take the 'under.' |

04-22-17 | Warriors v. Blazers +6 | Top | 119-113 | Push | 0 | 20 h 24 m | Show |
At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers + the points over Golden State. The Blazers lost by double-digits in each of the first two games of this series, including a 110-81 defeat on Wednesday. But, as we saw with Memphis in its Game 3 vs. San Antonio, teams often bounce back from back to back blowout losses. Indeed, since 1991, teams off back to back losses by more than 10 points have cashed 74% if they failed to score 83 points in their previous game. Take Portland. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-22-17 | Oilers v. Sharks -140 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -140 | 20 h 21 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the San Jose Sharks over Edmonton. After getting shut out in Games 2 + 3, the Sharks erupted for 7 goals in Game 4 to even up the series at 2 games apiece. But they lost on Thursday, 4-3, to put themselves in this 'must-win' situation at home tonight. We'll take the home team in this Game 6, as San Jose is 46-23 (+17 games on the money line) when playing with revenge from a loss in which they gave up more than three goals. Also, the Sharks are 23-12 at home this season where the Total was 5 goals or less, while Edmonton is a poor 18-29 on the road their last 47 games when the Total was 5 goals or less. Take the Sharks. NHL High Roller. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Montreal Canadiens over New York. The Habs are down 3 games to 2 after dropping Game 5, at home, on Thursday. But I love Montreal to tie up this series tonight, as it is 16-12 (+11 games on the money line) when facing elimination in a Playoff series, while New York is 17-21 (minus 7 games on the money line) when leading in a Playoff series. The Canadiens are also 22-15 off a loss, and 9-5 off back to back losses this season. And they've won five of the last six meetings at Madison Square Garden. Take Montreal. NHL Game of the Month. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-22-17 | Spurs -3.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 108-110 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 44 m | Show |
At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Memphis. We played on the Grizzlies in Game 3, and were rewarded by an 11-point upset victory. However, the Spurs typically bounce back off bad games, which is why they've had so much success over the past 28 years. Indeed, since 1990, the Spurs are a fantastic 91% ATS on the road in the Playoffs when favored (or PK) if they failed to cover the spread by more than five points in their previous game. Take San Antone. NBA Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-22-17 | Cardinals v. Brewers -105 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the St. Louis Cardinals. Like the Rangers and Blue Jays over in the American League, the Cardinals - a team many thought would contend for a pennant (or at least give the Cubs some competition) - are mired in last place in their Division. And it doesn't take a baseball genius to figure out why. St. Louis simply isn't hitting. The Cards rank 13th in runs scored (behind only Pittsburgh and San Diego) and 13th in team batting average at just .224. That's going to result in a lot of losses no matter how good your team's pitching is - and the Cards' pitching actually hasn't been that good. St. Louis' team ERA is 4.29, also 13th in the league. The Brew Crew on the other hand, has been a very pleasant surprise so far. They are sitting at 9-8 overall heading into Saturday's games, and one of the real bright spots for them has been RHP Chase Anderson. And Anderson is one Brewers pitcher who has had some success against St. Louis. In five starts, he owns a 2.42 ERA spanning 26 innings against the Redbirds. But he's also looking for his first victory against the Cards. But with the Cards' offense struggling, this looks like a great time to pick up his first 'W.' Meanwhile, the Brewers lineup is hitting the cover off the ball as they rank second in the N.L. in runs scored (86) and first in home runs (33). Take the Brewers. MLB Division Game of the Month. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-22-17 | Raptors +2.5 v. Bucks | Top | 87-76 | Win | 100 | 13 h 45 m | Show |
At 3 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Raptors took three of the four regular season meetings vs. Milwaukee, but were stunned in Game 1, at home, and then also lost Game 3 in Milwaukee, 104-77. Thus, today's Game 4 is critical for the Raptors if they wish to advance to the quarterfinal round. We'll take the points with Toronto, as Playoff teams priced from PK to +6 are 12-0 ATS off back to back ATS losses (but not back to back straight-up losses), if they failed to cover the point spread by 14+ points in their previous game. Additionally, Milwaukee falls into a negative 1-24 ATS system of mine which fades certain teams off blowout wins, while Toronto falls into 102-67 and 202-154 ATS systems of mine that play on certain teams off blowout losses. Take the Raptors. NBA Game of the Month. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-21-17 | Clippers v. Jazz UNDER 197 | Top | 111-106 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 58 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the 'under' in the Utah Jazz/Los Angeles Clippers game. This series is tied at 1 game apiece. I look for Game 3 to be low-scoring, as series tied at 1 game apiece, that are competitively-priced in Game 3 with a pointspread less than 4 points, have gone ‘under’ 64% since 1991. Take the 'under.' Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-21-17 | Tigers -130 v. Twins | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -130 | 17 h 5 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Tigers over the Minnesota Twins. Tigers ace Justin Verlander suffered one of the worst outings of his career last time out when he was blasted by a very good Cleveland Indians lineup. Verlander allowed nine runs on 11 hits in just four innings as seemingly nothing went right for the veteran RH last Saturday. But if Verlander was going to hand-pick an opponent against which to get his next start against after a disaster like that, it would likely be the Twins. Verlander has arguably had as much success against tonight's opponent as anyone, going 17-8 with a 3.06 ERA in 33 starts against Minny. And there's also no ballpark that Verlander seems to enjoy pitching in more than Target Field. In nine career starts here, he's never lost, going 6-0 with a 2.35 ERA in just over 57 innings. Verlander hasn't lost to the Twins in almost three years (May 9, 2014) and even that was a quality start in a 2-1 defeat. Take the Tigers. MOUND MISMATCH. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-21-17 | Bruins -108 v. Senators | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 17 h 31 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Boston Bruins over the Ottawa Senators. No first round series looked to be as tightly contested early on as this one between division rivals Boston and Ottawa. The Bruins jumped out to a somewhat surprising 1-0 series lead when they beat the Senators on their home ice in game one by a 2-1 score. But the Senators came back, winning games two and three by identical 4-3 overtime scores . Then Boston - with its 2017 season virtually on the line, held Ottawa to just one goal in game four, but it wasn't enough. The Senators took that game on Wednesday, holding on for a 1-0 shutout and thereby sending this series back to their home ice with a commanding 3-1 lead. The Bruins know they need to play better than the paltry 20 shots on goal in game three and 22 in game four (both at home). Look for them to come out with a sense of desperation tonight as that is exactly what the Bruins need right now. That has worked well for this team in the past, but they have work to do to keep the series alive. The road team is 5-1 in the last six meetings. Take Boston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-21-17 | Celtics +2 v. Bulls | Top | 104-87 | Win | 100 | 16 h 59 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics over Chicago. The top-seeded Celtics are in a 'must-win' situation, as they are down 2 games to none following two home losses to start this series. But the good news is that teams (like Chicago) off back to back upset wins in the playoffs have covered just 16 of 47, including 0 of 6 if their win percentage was less than .520. Take Boston. |
|||||||
04-21-17 | Celtics v. Bulls UNDER 207.5 | Top | 104-87 | Win | 100 | 16 h 59 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls to go 'under' the total. Boston was favored by 7.5 points in Game 2, but lost outright. I expect the Celtics to turn up their defense tonight, and I look for a very low-scoring game. Indeed, NBA underdogs, off upset losses in the playoffs as favorites of more than 7 points, have gone 'under' the total 100% of the time (9-0) since 1991. Take the 'under.' |
|||||||
04-20-17 | Spurs v. Grizzlies +4 | Top | 94-105 | Win | 100 | 20 h 46 m | Show |
At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies + the points over San Antonio. The Spurs are up 2 games to none after routing Memphis by 29 and 15 points in the Alamo City. Unfortunately for the Spurs, NBA teams up exactly 2 games in a Playoff series are an awful 15-39 ATS since 1991 if they won their two previous games by more than 10 points each, and weren't favored by 5+ points in the current game. Take Memphis + the points. NBA Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-20-17 | Nationals -173 v. Braves | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 18 h 33 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Washington Nationals over the Atlanta Braves. Don't look now, but the Braves had won five straight games before the first game of this series, including opening their new ball park with a four-game sweep (not sure how many times in history that has happened, but it can't be many). But those five games were against the Marlins (1) and Padres (4), so before we proclaim that the Braves are a playoff-caliber club now, let's see how they do in their stretch of games they have coming up against decidedly better competition. The Nats have a winning record and are keeping pace with the Marlins and Mets so far, but it seems like nothing comes easy for them this season. They had to rely on another walk-off hit on Sunday (a HR from Bryce Harper) and they barely beat the Braves in game one of this series on Tuesday. Six of the Nats' eight victories have come by two or fewer runs. RH ace Stephen Strasburg is off to a very good start for his his team, with a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over this first three starts covering 21 innings. Most importantly, Strasburg has made each start on schedule and has not had any injury setbacks. RA Dickey gets the start for the for the Braves, and it will be interesting to see how Dickey's knuckleball (which he throws over 90% of the time) does in the new ballpark. Dickey is just 4-6 in 16 career games (14 starts) vs. D.C, while the Braves have won just 9 of the last 40 meetings vs. Washington. Take the Nats. MLB Road Warrior Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-20-17 | Blue Jackets v. Penguins -192 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 17 h 54 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Penguins over the Columbus Blue Jackets. One of the only first-round playoff series of 2017 that went according to plan in the first two games when the Penguins took a rather easy 2-0 lead, things then got very dire for the Jackets when the Pens also took game three in Columbus. With their backs against the wall, Columbus came through in game four, beating Pittsburgh by a 5-4 margin while limiting the Pens to a relatively low (for them) 31 shots on goal. It seems like the Pens took the night off on Tuesday just a bit (and they still almost won the game). But the Pens would love to close this series out at home - they have a habit of clinching playoff series on the road - so look for them to come out with the same intensity that they did in games one and two in front of their packed house tonight. The bad news for the rest of the teams in the post-season is that the Penguins are getting healthy again. C Evgeni Malkin is back and looks to be 100%, playing like his old self. LW Carl Hagelin (lower body) is skating and is very close to a return (he will likely play if this series goes to a sixth game). The Pens are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings with the Jackets, and 35-14 after giving up more than 3 goals. They're also 22-6 at home when the over/under line was more than 5 goals. Take Pittsburgh. NHL Roadkill Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-20-17 | Cavs v. Pacers UNDER 211.5 | Top | 119-114 | Loss | -105 | 55 h 54 m | Show |
At 7 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the 'under' in the Cavaliers/Pacers game. Cleveland won Games 1 + 2 at home by scores of 109-108 and 117-111. But I expect the Cavs to find the basket "smaller" on the road, and for Game 3 to be much lower scoring. Indeed, over the past 20 years, NBA Teams that won Games 1 + 2 at home have gone 'under' the total 75% of the time in Game 3 of a Playoff series if they scored more than 105 points in each of their two opening home games. Take the 'under.' NBA Eastern Conf. Total of the Month. |
|||||||
04-19-17 | Blazers +15 v. Warriors | Top | 81-110 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 35 m | Show |
At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers + the points over Golden State. Kevin Durant has been listed as questionable for this Game 2 tonight vs. Portland. These two teams also met last season, and the Blazers put a scare into Golden State in Game 2, as they led by 11 entering the 4th quarter before eventually succumbing to a 110-99 loss. Portland also played very well in Game 1 of this series, and easily covered the number. I expect another great effort by Terry Stotts' men tonight. Indeed, #1 seeds off a win to open a Playoff series, but ATS defeat, have covered just 9 of 27 games since 1991, including 0-9 ATS when priced from -11 to -14 points. Take Portland. NBA Elite Info. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
04-19-17 | Wild -107 v. Blues | Top | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 20 h 17 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Wild over St Louis. The Wild entered the Playoffs on a 4-game win streak. And they had scored 17 goals in those four games. But Jake Allen has stonewalled Minnesota in the first three games. The Wild have had an average of 39 shots per game, but have only scored 1 goal in each of the three games. Still, if you're a Minnesota fan, there's some room for optimism that it can win tonight. Minnesota's outshot the Blues by an average of 12.67 shots per game. And the Blues are a poor 1-6 at home off a home win by 2+ goals. Take Minnesota. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
04-19-17 | Thunder +8 v. Rockets | Top | 111-115 | Win | 100 | 15 h 59 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the OKC Thunder + the points over Houston. The Rockets piled up 118 points in a 31-point blowout win over OKC in Game 1. The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the Rockets as a single-digit favorite tonight. But NBA teams off a win in which they scored more than 116 points, are 53-89 ATS if they also won two games back, and their foe is off a loss. Moreover, road teams off a road playoff loss by 25+ points are a super 37-18 ATS in their next game. Take the Thunder. NBA High Roller Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
04-19-17 | Senators v. Bruins -160 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -160 | 18 h 1 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Boston Bruins over Ottawa. We played on Boston in Game 3, and lost a tough game in overtime. And that was the second straight loss by a 4-3 score for the Bruins. But we'll come back with Boston in Game 4, as I look for the Bruins to even the series at 2 games, apiece. Boston is a stellar 22-8 off a 1-goal home loss, while Ottawa is 1-5 this season off back to back 1-goal wins, and 6-11 after scoring more than 3 goals in back to back games. Take Boston. |
|||||||
04-19-17 | Capitals -140 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 18 h 31 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Washington Capitals over the Toronto Maple Leafs. In past seasons, the Caps have faced teams in the first round like the Rangers, Flyers, and Bruins. These are all NHL clubs with plenty of recent playoff history - and plenty of losses to the Caps, so there were generally few surprises in those first rounds. But now the Caps are facing a totally different beast in the young and hungry Toronto Maple Leafs. Not only have the Leafs participated in just one post-season since 2004 (2012-2013), but they have never faced Washington in the playoffs before, so this is probably the last team that the Caps wanted to see in the first round. And sure enough, it's deja vu all over again as the Caps are on the brink of an early playoff exit after winning yet another Presidents Trophy by logging the best record in the league. So now it's the Caps with their backs against the proverbial wall after losing game three on Monday night and falling behind in the series, 2-1. They started out game three looking like they were going to steamroll the Leafs, but blew two separate two-goal leads before falling in overtime by a 4-3 final. They will need to keep that early energy they had for a full 60 minutes tonight so they can send the series back to DC knotted up at 2-2. The Caps are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings going back to 2014. Take Washington. |

04-18-17 | Jazz v. Clippers -8 | Top | 91-99 | Push | 0 | 44 h 12 m | Show |
At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over Utah. The Clippers lost Game 1 of this series, but .610 (or better) NBA teams are a super 107-70 ATS off a loss to open a series. Lay the points with Los Angeles. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-18-17 | Oilers v. Sharks -120 | Top | 0-7 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the San Jose Sharks over the Edmonton Oilers. The Sharks must have been feeling pretty good after scoring three goals in the first game of this series in Edmonton and taking a 1-0 series lead by the virtue of that 3-2 overtime victory. But things can turn on a dime in the NHL and fast forward less than a week later after laying goose-eggs in games two and three - the latter here at home - the Sharks must be scratching their collective heads as to what went wrong. In a word, San Jose's offense has been awful, producing a total of just 39 shots on goal combined in games two and three. So look for them to switch some things up on the lines tonight for game four back at the SAP Center. The Sharks would be well-served by going back to the speed game that was so effective for them in the regular season. The bump and grind strategy they've been employing so far in this series clearly is not working. The Sharks can't blame injuries for their recent problems as they are essentially 100% healthy at this point and they have to start playing like the defending Conference Champions that they are or they will be making an early exit this Spring. The Oilers are 27-87 in their last 114 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, while the Sharks are 26-12 when playing with double revenge. Take San Jose. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-18-17 | Bulls v. Celtics -6 | Top | 111-97 | Loss | -105 | 42 h 33 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Chicago. The Bulls upset the Celtics in Beantown to take Game 1 of this series. And Chicago's won 3 straight, overall. Unfortunately for the Bulls, teams off an upset win to open a 1st Round series are just 16% ATS since 1991 in game 2 vs. .580 (or better) foes, if they're off back to back wins, and not getting double-digits. Take Boston. |

04-18-17 | Bucks v. Raptors -7.5 | Top | 100-106 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 33 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors minus the points over Milwaukee. The Raptors were favored by 7 in Game 1, but fell by 14 points, 97-83 (so they failed to cover by 21.5 points). But home teams that failed to cover the spread in a Playoff game by 19+ points are 17-0 straight-up, and 13-2-2 ATS, provided they own a better win percentage than their opponent. Take Toronto. |
|||||||
04-18-17 | Red Sox v. Blue Jays -147 | Top | 8-7 | Loss | -147 | 16 h 39 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Boston Red Sox. It's early in the season, but so far the most disappointing team has to be the Blue Jays. Toronto is expected to contend for the AL East Pennant again, but very little has gone right for the team from North of the Border. And then, just when it looked like things couldn't get any worse, the Jays lost one of their best players - 3B Josh Donaldson - to a nagging calf injury that won't go away. Nonetheless, this is still a very dangerous team and it will send its ace to the mound tonight as RH Marcus Stroman will get his third start of the season. It certainly hasn't been Stroman's fault that the Jays are floundering with a 2-10 record, as the World Baseball Classic Series MVP is 1-1 with a stellar 1.76 ERA in two starts, including a complete game his last time out. Ironically, the complete game was Stroman's lone loss as he won his first outing, when he pitched 6 1/3 quality innings in Tampa. Boston will go with journeyman Brian Johnson. The lefty prospect will be recalled from Triple-A to make his second big league start in place of Eduardo Rodriguez, who was placed on the paternity list. Johnson’s first start for the Sox was was back in July of 2015, when he gave up 3 runs in 5 1/3 innings. Boston is 1-8 in its last nine road games, and we'll fade the Red Sox tonight. Take the Jays. Game of the Week. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-17-17 | Marlins v. Mariners -127 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 20 h 43 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Miami Marlins. These two teams haven't met in Seattle since June of 2011, so this 3-game series is the first time that the Marlins have visited the Pacific Northwest in almost six years. Game 1 of this series isn't exactly a marquee pitching matchup either, as Miami's Tom Koehler goes to the mound to face the M's and southpaw Ariel Miranda. Miranda is a 28-year-old Cuban product who was originally signed as an amateur free agent by the Orioles. His time in Baltimore was short-lived however as Miranda came to Seattle after throwing just two innings with the O's last season. He pitched pretty well after putting on a Mariners uniform, going 5-2 with a 3.54 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) in August and September. Miranda hasn't kept it up so far in 2017 after taking over for the injured Drew Smyly in the rotation. But both of Miranda's starts so far have come against the Houston Astros, so he will get some class relief tonight as he faces the Marlins for the first time. This is Koehler's first start vs. Seattle however he is just 6-7 with a 4.50 ERA in 18 inter-league starts. The Marlins are 2-5 in Koehler's last 7 inter-league starts, while the M's are 9-3 in their last 12 inter-league games vs. a right-handed starter. Take Seattle. MLB Roadkill Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-17-17 | Ducks v. Flames -120 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -120 | 20 h 34 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Calgary Flames over Anaheim. The Ducks won both home games to open this series, but I look for them to stumble on the road, tonight. Anaheim is a poor 5-15 on the road off a win, while Calgary is 16-3 at home off back to back road losses by 1 goal each. The Flames are also 31-16 at home when the total was 5 goals or less. Take Calgary. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-17-17 | Grizzlies +11 v. Spurs | Top | 82-96 | Loss | -108 | 19 h 19 m | Show |
At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies + the points over San Antonio. The Grizzlies were blown out, 111-82, on Saturday by San Antone. But .646 (or worse) NBA Double-Digit underdogs have cashed 19 in a row if they didn't score 90+ points in the opening game of a Playoff series, and their opponent's W/L percentage wasn't .807+. Take Memphis. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
04-17-17 | Blackhawks +101 v. Predators | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 15 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Blackhawks over Nashville. Chicago has been shutout in the first two playoff games, and is now on a six-game losing streak, dating back to the end of the regular season. But there's no need to panic in the Windy City, yet, as I look for Chicago to take Game 3 on the road. Chicago is 35-14 after not scoring 3+ goals in either of its two previous games (including 10-2 this year), while Nashville is an awful 1-10 after scoring more than three goals in a road victory, and 5-20 off a win by more than three goals. Take Chicago. |

04-17-17 | Senators v. Bruins -160 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -160 | 17 h 40 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Boston Bruins over the Ottawa Senators. The Bruins came extremely close to coming back home for games three and four with a 2-0 lead over their division rivals. Boston took a 3-1 lead on Saturday with less than four minutes to go in the second period, but couldn't make it last as the home team notched two goals in a two-and-a-half minute span in the third period to tie it and send it to overtime, where the 'Nats would prevail on a goal by defenseman Dion Phaneuf. But despite the disappointment they felt after game two, Boston still has to be pretty happy with their situation, coming home to a place where they won 23 games during the regular season. With the 'Nats comeback win on Saturday, the home team is now 11-7 in the last 18 meetings of these two teams (regular season and post season). The Bruins are 11-5 in their last 16 home games and 12-5 in their last 17 games playing on one day of rest. The Senators are 1-5 in their last six road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Take the Bruins. |

04-16-17 | Oilers v. Sharks -130 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -130 | 19 h 42 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the San Jose Sharks over the Edmonton Oilers. The first playoff game for the Oilers in 11 years didn't go as planned for the team that used to dominate this league with players like Gretzky, Kurri, and Messier. On Wednesday, the Oilers were looking good early on with a 2-0 lead here at Rogers Place. But this team - as talented as it is - is a far cry from those mid-80s Oilers and so San Jose came back and won that game in overtime by a 3-2 final. Fortunately for the home team, Edmonton came back and took game two and now the series shifts to San Jose where the home town fans have seen plenty of post-season games in the last decade (unlike the fans in Edmonton). What the Oilers really needed to do was win both of the first two games because San Jose is very tough at home - both in the regular season and in the playoffs as they made it all the way to Cup Finals last year, going 7-2 here at SAP Center before meeting - and eventually succumbing to - the Penguins. This year, the Sharks went 26-15 here in the regular season, which was one of the best home records in the Western Conference. With Edmonton's win in game two, the home team is now 6-2 in the last eight playoff meetings between the Sharks and Oilers. Take San Jose. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-16-17 | Penguins v. Blue Jackets -118 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -118 | 15 h 42 m | Show |
At 6:05 pm, our selection is on the Columbus Blue Jackets over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Not surprisingly, the defending Stanley Cup Champs took games one and two in Pittsburgh rather convincingly and now the series heads to Columbus for games three and four. It no doubt sounds cliche to say that this is a must-win game for the Jackets, but that's exactly what it is, however there are at least a couple of reasons to like them tonight. First, this has been perhaps the most home-friendly series of any in the first round of the playoffs, as the hosts have won each of the last six meetings between the Pens and Jackets, going back more than a year (March of 2016 was the last time the road team won). Second, the Jackets are a bigger and more physical team, so look for them to force the play much more tonight and apply more pressure, especially in the Penguins zone. The sold-out Columbus crowd will no doubt make it even more difficult for the visitors tonight. They Jackets will be huge underdogs when they go back to Pittsburgh, but that doesn't mean they can't go back there with the series knotted up at 2-2. The Pens are 1-5 in the last six trips to Columbus, and they're 27-38 on the road when the total was more than 5 goals. Take the Blue Jackets. |

04-16-17 | Wild -105 v. Blues | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Wild over the St. Louis Blues. St. Louis stunned Minny in Games 1 + 2, but both games could have gone either way. Indeed, Game 1 was actually dominated by the Wild, which outshot St. Louis, 52-26. With their backs against the wall, we'll take the Wild to win Game 3 in St. Louis. The Blues are a dismal 0-5 at home when leading in a Playoff series, while the Wild are 10-5 this season on the road vs. winning teams. Take the Wild. |

04-15-17 | Jazz v. Clippers -5 | Top | 97-95 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 14 m | Show |
At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over the Utah Jazz. The Clippers have completely dominated the Jazz, as they were 3-1 SU/ATS this season, and covered by an average of 8.62 ppg. Even better: Los Angeles has won 18 of the last 20 meetings, straight-up, including a 13-point win three weeks ago. The Clippers are firing on all cylinders right now, as they're on a 7-game win streak. And NBA home teams off 3+ wins to end the regular season are 28-9 ATS against revenge-minded foes in Game 1 of the Playoffs. Finally, Utah is a wallet-busting 0-18 ATS on the road when priced from +3 to +8 points. Take Los Angeles. PERFECT 10 CLUB PLAY. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-15-17 | Predators v. Blackhawks -170 | Top | 5-0 | Loss | -170 | 18 h 41 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Blackhawks over the Nashville Predators. The 'Hawks are the #1 seed in the Western Conference, but have dropped five straight games, dating back to the final week of the regular season. Lately, the problem has been on the offensive end, as the Blackhawks have scored just two goals in their last three games, combined. But Chicago is a solid 10-1 this season (and 35-13 the past three seasons) if they didn't score 3+ goals in either of their two previous games. They're also 7-1 when trailing in a Playoff series. Meanwhile, Nashville is a poor 4-13 off a road win. Take the Blackhawks. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-15-17 | Bruins v. Senators +100 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 50 m | Show |
At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Ottawa Senators over the Boston Bruins. Technically, it wasn't an upset - but it was a #3 seed beating a #2 - when the Bruins won game one of this first round series on Wednesday night in Ottawa by a 2-1 margin, getting the game-winner with less than three minutes left in regulation. The fact that the Bruins were the favorite in game one (the only road team to be a favorite) makes sense when you consider that only three points separated these two teams at the end of the regular season. And Ottawa didn't have any home ice advantage to speak of, logging almost identical home and road records (22-11-8 vs. 22-17-2) through its 82 games. But it still felt like an upset, and now the Senators have their backs against the proverbial wall with game two looking an awful lot like a must-win situation back here at the Canadian Tire Centre. There are a few reasons to think that Ottawa has a great chance to even the series this afternoon. First, there's the obvious fact that Ottawa has done very well against Boston recently, winning six of the last seven (86%) meetings. Second, the home team has been pretty dominant in this series, taking 11 of the last 18 meetings, despite the Bruins win in game one. Finally, the Senators are 24-15 on a 2-game (or worse) losing streak. Take Ottawa. NHL High Roller. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-15-17 | Pacers v. Cavs -8.5 | Top | 108-109 | Loss | -110 | 35 h 30 m | Show |
At 3 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over the Indiana Pacers. It's absolutely true that the Cleveland Cavaliers have played awful (especially on defense) since February. And their current 4-game losing streak enabled the Boston Celtics to leapfrog them for the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference. But I don't think the Cavs mind, as the only two Eastern Conference teams that gave them fits this season were the #5-seeded Atlanta Hawks and the #8-seeded Chicago Bulls. Thus, by being the #2 seed, they likely will never have to play either the Hawks or Bulls if they're fortunate enough to advance to the Conference Finals. We'll lay the points with Cleveland, as teams with a win percentage between .586 and .715 are a super 26-4 ATS at home in Games 1 + 2 of the NBA Playoffs if they're off back to back losses, including a perfect 10-0 ATS if their opponent is playing with revenge. Take Cleveland. NBA ELITE INFO WINNER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-14-17 | Blues v. Wild -195 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -195 | 16 h 37 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Wild over the St. Louis Blues. Which version of the Minnesota Wild will show up tonight for game two of this first round series? Will it be the version that shot out to a 33-11 record in its first 44 games of the season or will it be the one that went 7-13 in the month of March and seemingly couldn't do much of anything right in the last month+ of the season? The Wild was trending in the right direction, having won their last four games of the regular season but then they were upset in game one here on Wednesday by a 2-1 margin in overtime. Now Minnesota has its back against the proverbial wall because if it loses game two, it will be exceedingly difficult to advance to the second round. Needless to say, this is a must-win game for the Wild. The good news is that despite the loss in game one, the Wild are still 27-12 in their last 39 games vs. teams from the Western Conference, and they're 18-6 at home when the total was 5 goals or less. The home team is 4-2 in the last six meetings of the Wild and Blues, while the Blues are a dismal 1-6 when leading in a Playoff series. Take Minnesota. NHL HIGH ROLLER. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-14-17 | Phillies v. Nationals -197 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Washington Nationals over the Philadelphia Phillies. After the embarrassment DC suffered in its second game vs. the Phils this season, when spot starter - and now ex-Nat - Jeremy Guthrie gave up a dozen runs in the first inning in Citizens Bank Park, you can bet the Nats would love to return the favor. They're not likely to duplicate the Phillies' 17 runs in that game, but they may be able to run up the score this evening at home against RHP Aaron Nola. Nola was the starter who went in that shellacking last Saturday, and although he picked up the win (the easiest 'W' he's likely to see in his career), Nola really didn't pitch that well, allowing three runs on seven hits with two walks in six innings. He's faced the Nats more than he has any other team in the league, but unfortunately that may not be a good thing as Nola is 1-3 with a 5.26 ERA against Washington. And despite starting three games here at Nationals park in his career, Nola has never beaten the Nats on their home soil (0-3 in seven starts). Stephen Strasburg gets the nod for the Nats, and so far, so good for the oft-injured ace of the staff as Stras is 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA in his first two starts. And his numbers against the Phils are pretty sick as Stras is 8-2 with a 2.46 ERA in 18 starts against them. Finally, the Nationals are an awesome 77-26 as a -200 favorite, including 31-9 behind Strasburg (and 17-2 their last 19). I won't buck those numbers. Take Washington. MLB ELITE INFO. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-13-17 | Predators v. Blackhawks -167 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -167 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Blackhawks over the Nashville Predators. Don't be fooled by the way the Chicago Blackhawks came into the post-season. Sure, the Hawks lost their last four games of the regular season - and not necessarily to the cream of the NHL crop (Boston, Colorado, Anaheim, Los Angeles). But they already had the Central Division crown sewn up (their third in the last eight seasons) and they definitely weren't too concerned about how impressive they looked in their last four contests. The real games start now, and the Blackhawks couldn't have hand-picked a better first-round opponent than the Predators. For one thing, Nashville is pretty banged up right now, with three of their top five centers (Mike Fisher, Vernon Fiddler, Calle Jarnrock) all out of action with various injuries. Second, the Blackhawks have dominated this series lately, going 4-0 in the last four meetings going back to last fall. Third, the time off may be one of the worst things for Nashville, as the Preds are 0-6 in their last six games when playing on three or more days of rest. The Blackhawks are 9-1 in their last 10 games vs. teams from the Central Division. Take Chicago. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-12-17 | Kings v. Clippers -15.5 | Top | 95-115 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over Sacramento. The Clippers have won six straight games since falling to these Sacramento Kings back on March 26. And their six wins have been against some very good teams (Spurs, Rockets, Wizards). Los Angeles has excelled on the offensive end during this stretch, as it has shot at least 50% in each of its last six games. And, tonight, it will have an advantage in that it had last night off, while the Kings played at home vs. Phoenix. I look for Los Angeles to rout Sacramento, and clinch the #4 seed tonight, as .600 (or better) rested teams off back to back wins have cashed 87% in their final game of the season since 1991 vs. unrested foes. Take the Clippers. NBA Game of the Week. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-12-17 | Mavs v. Grizzlies -7.5 | Top | 100-93 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 14 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies minus the points over Dallas. The Grizzlies last played on Sunday, while the Mavericks played last night. And this 2-day advantage, with respect to days off, is key, as .500 (or better) teams have covered 64% in their final home game of the season since 1991 if they played with at least two more days of rest than their foe. Take Memphis. |
|||||||
04-12-17 | Hawks v. Pacers -13 | Top | 86-104 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers minus the points over Atlanta. The Pacers are on a 4-game win streak (and 5-game ATS win streak), and can sew up a Playoff berth with a victory tonight. Fortunately, the Hawks are not incentivized to win, as they clinched the #5 seed last night when they routed the Hornets, 103-76. And since 2002, teams favored by 11+ points have cashed 80.7% in the final two games of the regular season, if they're off a SU/ATS win. Take Indiana. |
|||||||
04-12-17 | Nets v. Bulls -15 | Top | 73-112 | Win | 100 | 15 h 30 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls minus the points over the Brooklyn Nets. These two teams met last weekend, and the Nets upset the Bulls, 107-106. But with their season hanging in the balance, we'll lay the points with Fred Hoiberg's men tonight. The Bulls rebounded off that loss to Brooklyn by blowing out Orlando, 122-75. That bodes well for them tonight, as NBA teams are 27-7 ATS in their home finale off a cover by 19+ points. Take Chicago. NBA Payback Payday. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-12-17 | Pistons v. Magic -1.5 | Top | 109-113 | Win | 100 | 15 h 59 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Orlando Magic minus the points over Detroit. The Magic were blown out by 47 points by Chicago on Monday. However, non-winning teams are 28-8 ATS off a loss by 40+ points, if they're not getting 2+ points. Take Orlando. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
04-11-17 | Padres v. Rockies -168 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 59 m | Show |
At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Rockies over the San Diego Padres. About the only good thing you can say about the Padres 2017 rotation is that a former Cy Young contender is now among its ranks. Unfortunately, that former ace is RHP Jered Weaver and the three years that he finished in the top five in AL Cy Young voting were 2010-2012. In his last five seasons with the Angels - the only team he had been with before joining San Diego - Weaver's ERA steadily increased (from 2.41 in 2011 to 5.06 last season). Weaver was not offered a new contract to stay in Anaheim, and so he took a big pay cut to join the Padres on a one-year deal. Unfortunately, the trend of rising ERAs continued in his first start with his new team, as Weaver allowed four runs in five innings (7.20) in a 10-2 loss to the Dodgers. And Weaver pitched that game in friendly Dodger Stadium and now he has to go to the very unfriendly Coors Field - one of the few Major League ballparks Weaver has never pitched in. Despite the loss on Monday, the Rox have won five of the last six meetings with the Pads at home. The Padres are 14-37 in their last 51 road games vs. a RH starter. Take Colorado. Mound Mismatch Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-10-17 | Jazz +10.5 v. Warriors | Top | 105-99 | Win | 100 | 3 h 11 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz + the points over Golden State. When these two teams last met, the Jazz were blown out by 30, 104-74. But we'll grab the points with Utah tonite, as .465 (or better) clubs are 65% ATS in the regular season since 1990 if they're playing with revenge from a 30-point (or worse) defeat, and also lost their previous game, straight up. Even better: if they're catching double-digits, then our 65% ATS system zooms to 78% ATS. Take Utah. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-10-17 | Spurs -4.5 v. Blazers | Top | 98-99 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 40 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Portland. The Spurs will play everyone tonight, as Coach Gregg Popovich wants his team to get into rhythm before the playoffs. And, with the Spurs off a loss on Saturday, we'll lay the points with San Antone, as it's 71-38 ATS as road favorites of -4+ points off a loss, including 9-3 ATS when playing with revenge. Take San Antonio. NBA Payback Payday. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-10-17 | Red Sox v. Tigers -112 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 19 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Tigers over the Boston Red Sox. This afternoon's game at Comerica Park features perhaps the best pitching matchup of the season so far as Chris Sale of the Red Sox goes against fellow RHP Justin Verlander of the Tigers. Verlander finished second in last season's Cy Young voting while Sale finished fifth (his Boston teammate Rick Porcello took home the hardware) and now Sale finds himself in a new home with a much more realistic chance getting to the World Series than he's had with the White Sox in his first seven seasons. We'll give the edge to the home team today as the Tigers have been playing very well so far this season and Verlander's first start against the aforementioned White Sox was vintage Verlander. He went 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on two hits while striking out 10 Chicago batters. Sale was very good in his season debut as well, but he's never done particularly well against his former division rivals, logging an 8-7 record in 19 career starts vs. the Tigers. This is the final game of a four game series that carries over from the weekend and the Tigers took two of the first three and are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. The Sox are 1-7 in their last eight road games. Take the Tigers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
