06-19-21 | Rays -134 v. Mariners | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -134 | 16 h 37 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over Seattle. The Rays will start southpaw Josh Fleming on Saturday night against RHP Logan Gilbert and the Mariners. This will be Fleming's sixth start of the season, and he has a nice 2.86 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 2021. Tampa has been installed as a road favorite in this game, and the Rays are 17-6 when favored by -150 or less this season. And they're 65-34 (+26 games on the moneyline) vs. righties, and 37-21 (+11 games on the moneyline) as a road favorite of -150 or less. Take Tampa. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-19-21 | Brewers +100 v. Rockies | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 37 m | Show |
At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies will start Austin Gomber tonight, and it will be his 3rd career start vs. Milwaukee. Unfortunately, his career ERA is 7.04 vs. the Brewers, which doesn't inspire confidence tonight. Meanwhile, the Brewers will hand the ball to RHP Adrian Houser, who has made one career start vs. Colorado, and he threw four scoreless innings, while striking out five, and allowing just one hit. Houser's last three starts have all been strong, as he's given up just 3 run over 16 innings (1.69 ERA). And Milwaukee won each of those games. Take the Brewers. |

06-19-21 | Bucks v. Nets UNDER 215 | Top | 115-111 | Loss | -104 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets to go 'under' the total. These two teams met on Thursday night for Game 6 in Milwaukee. Milwaukee was favored by 4.5 points, and the total was 220. The Brooklyn Nets entered that game with a 3-2 series lead, so it was an elimination game for the Bucks. But Milwaukee sprinted out to an 18-5 lead in the first quarter, and finished the quarter with a 26-19 lead. Brooklyn could never mount a comeback, and when the final gun sounded, the Bucks earned a 104-89 victory. The Bucks covered the 4.5-point number, and it went under the total by 27 points. The over/under line for this Game 7 is lower than it was for Game 6, but it's not low enough. And we'll look for another 'under' tonight. Indeed, seven of the nine meetings between these clubs have gone 'under' the number this season. Even better: Brooklyn has gone 17-7 'under' vs. winning teams, and 12-4 'under' in competitively-priced games with a point spread of 3 or less. Likewise, Milwaukee has gone 'under' 36-22-1 vs. winning teams, and 27-18 in games priced from +3 to -3. Take the Bucks and Nets to go 'under' the total. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-19-21 | White Sox +112 v. Astros | Top | 3-7 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 43 m | Show |
At 7:15 pm, our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the Houston Astros. Last night, the White Sox dropped their second straight game (both to Houston), as they lost 2-1 to the Astros. But Houston started right-handed pitchers in each of Thursday and Friday's games. And Chicago is a pedestrian 25-23 vs. righties this season. But not against lefties, as Chicago is 18-4 this season, and was 15-0 last season (33-4 combined). Tonight, the Astros will hand the ball to southpaw Framber Valdez, who will make his fifth start of the season. He has a 1.42 ERA, and the Astros are 3-1 in his starts. But he will face a tough opponent tonight in White Sox righty Lance Lynn. Lynn has made 12 starts this season, and has a 7-2 record, and a 1.63 ERA. Take the underdog White Sox. |
|||||||
06-19-21 | A's v. Yankees -115 | Top | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 6 h 30 m | Show |
At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Oakland A's. Last night, something had to give, as Oakland brought a six-game win streak into the Bronx, while the Yankees were on a 3-game win streak. The A's were victorious, 5-3, so New York will look to bounce back on Saturday afternoon. The Pinstripes will hand the ball to RHP Domingo German, while Oakland will start Chris Bassitt. New York has been installed as a home favorite, which bodes well as it is 89-45 (+10 games on the moneyline) as a home favorite, priced at -110 (or higher). And New York is 17-6, in German's 23 home starts, including 8-1 in his nine home starts, when priced from -125 to -175. Take New York on Saturday. Good luck as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-18-21 | Rays -108 v. Mariners | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -108 | 17 h 53 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Seattle Mariners. RHP Michael Wacha broke into the Major Leagues with St. Louis at the tender age of 21 back in 2013. Wacha spent each of the next seven seasons with the Cards before being granted free agency in 2019 and signing with the Mets for the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. He signed with Tampa before this season and Wacha has been able to contribute to the first place Rays' success as both a starter and reliever so far. He will get his eighth start of the season tonight and it comes in a pitcher-friendly park which should suit Wacha well. Wacha's teams are 4-0 in his last four starts vs. AL West teams. Meanwhile, the M's will go with Japanese southpaw Yusei Kikuchi, who has had a pretty successful season so far with a 3.67 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 12 starts. But despite solid numbers of late, Seattle is just 8-16 (-10 games on the moneyline) in Kikuchi's last 24 home starts as well as 10-23 (-14 games on the moneyline) in his last 33 night starts. Take the Rays. As always, good luck...Al McMordie |
|||||||
06-18-21 | Jazz -1.5 v. Clippers | Top | 119-131 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 47 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz over the Los Angeles Clippers. This series is emblematic of the injury woes that have been front-and-center for the NBA this Playoffs season. Los Angeles will be without Kawhi Leonard for the remainder of this series, while Utah has been playing without Mike Conley, but with a hobbled Donovan Mitchell (both Conley and Mitchell are officially listed as 'questionable' for this game). We'll take Utah to bounce back off its Game 5 loss, as it is 34-14 ATS when playing with revenge, if it was off a SU/ATS home loss. And road favorites have cashed 73% off back to back playoff losses since 2004. Take Utah. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-18-21 | Dodgers -184 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Pitching match-ups don't get much more one-sided than this, as Cy Young winner, Trevor Bauer, will face Caleb Smith. It's true that Bauer had his worst start since September 2019 six days ago when the Rangers crushed the Dodgers, 12-1. But I fully expect Bauer to bounce back tonight. He has a perfect 4-0 record, with a 1.99 ERA in division games this season, while Smith has a 5.19 ERA on the season (and a 9.00 ERA in division games). Throw in the facts that Arizona has dropped 14 straight games, and has also given up 4+ runs in 14 of its last 15 games, and you have all the ammunition to pull the trigger on the Dodgers tonight (given that Bauer's teams have won 10 straight when they've scored 4+ runs with him on the mound). Take Los Angeles. |
|||||||
06-18-21 | Brewers -186 v. Rockies | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -186 | 15 h 24 m | Show |
At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Colorado Rockies. The National League Central is probably the most entertaining Division in all of the Major Leagues. The non-play of the St. Louis Cardinals has opened things up in the Division and right now it looks like any one of four teams can wear the crown come September (all except Pittsburgh, which is already out of it). Milwaukee's success is due to its "big three" starters of Brandon Woodruff, Freddy Peralta, and Corbin Burnes. Those three just might be the best 1-2-3 top of the rotation in all of baseball right now (and the three that nobody wants to face in a short playoff series). It will be RH Burnes tonight in arguably the toughest place for starters in the League. But if there's anyone who can tame Coors Field, it just might be Burnes, who has a 2.27 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 14.5 strikeout rate in 11 starts covering 63 1/3 innings. Despite their loss last night, the Brewers are 7-2 in their last nine road games vs. teams with a losing record. Take Milwaukee. |
|||||||
06-18-21 | Golden Knights -159 v. Canadiens | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -159 | 15 h 53 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Vegas Golden Knights over the Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens surprised just about everyone by beating the heavily favored Knights on Wednesday in Vegas to even this series at 1-1. The Habs took a 2-0 lead in the first period of Game 2 and never looked back. It was not one of Marc-Andre Fleury's best nights as he allowed three goals on 16 shots through the first two periods before settling down finally in the third period. But by then it was too late. The good news is that the veteran net-minder almost always uses a bad performance like that as motivation for his next one, so look for Fleury to play like his old self tonight at the Bell Centre in Montreal. And the offense should pick it up tonight as well as the Knights are 9-2 in their last 11 after scoring less than three goals in their previous game. Finally, the Canadiens are 2-5 in their last seven coming off a one-goal road victory and 10-20 (minus 16 games on the moneyline) if they've won at least four of their previous five games. Take the Knights. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-18-21 | 76ers -3 v. Hawks | Top | 104-99 | Win | 100 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points over Atlanta. Philadelphia has had a great season, as it won 55 regular season games. But if it doesn't win its next two games, it will be on the golf course next week. We'll lay the small number on the road tonight, as NBA teams with a win percentage greater than .600, off back to back upset losses, have cashed 64.4% since 1991 when playing away from home, and not laying more than 4 points. Take Philly. |
|||||||
06-18-21 | 76ers v. Hawks UNDER 222 | Top | 104-99 | Win | 100 | 14 h 27 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers and Atlanta Hawks to go 'under' the total. The 76ers now face elimination after back to back upset losses to the Hawks. But teams tend to go 'under' after back to back upset playoff defeats, as they've gone 'under' in 52 of 82 games. And the Sixers have gone 'under' in 27 of 41 road games when installed as a favorite. Take the 'under.' |
|||||||
06-17-21 | Rays -163 v. Mariners | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -163 | 16 h 4 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Seattle Mariners. It is an unwritten rule of baseball that starting pitchers will regress once they get into their late 30s and beyond -- if they're lucky enough to stick around the league that long. But tell that to 41-year-old southpaw Rich Hill and you're likely to get a shrug in response. How many MLB starters would kill to have the following ERAs in eight consecutive seasons: 3.38, 1.55, 2.12, 3.32, 3.66, 2.45, 3.03, 3.38. That last number is from this season and Hill has a 5-2 record, 1.02 WHIP and 9.2 strikeout rate to go along with it, in 66 2/3 innings. Health has been the main issue for Hill over the years but he seems to have put those concerns behind him for now as he hasn't missed a start so far in this campaign. Here's an amazing statistic: Coming into tonight, Hill has fired blanks (given up zero runs) in five of his last eight starts. In 12 career appearances (five starts) vs. the Mariners, Hill is undefeated (4-0) with a 2.06 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in just over 39 innings. Take the Rays. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-17-21 | Reds v. Padres -167 | Top | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 15 h 35 m | Show |
At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Cincinnati Reds. There's likely nothing better for an MLB starter who is entering his prime (ages 26-28) than going from a bad team to a very good team. Such is the case with RHP Joe Musgrove in the 2021 MLB season. Musgrove pitched for the Pirates in 2018-2020 and then was traded from Pittsburgh to San Diego as part of a three-team deal at the beginning of this year. How did he respond? Musgrove is not only having his best MLB season since coming into the league in 2016, but he has already thrown a complete-game no-hitter and the future would certainly appear to be bright as Musgrove is arbitration-eligible after 2021. Having pitched for the Pirates for three seasons, Musgrove has plenty of experience against the Reds. In six games vs. Cincy (five starts), Musgrove is 3-2 with a 4.11 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in just under 31 innings. Cincinnati will go with LHP Wade Miley and the Padres are 5-0 in their last five games vs. southpaw starters, while Miley's career marks vs. the Padres include a 1-6 record, and a 5.38 ERA. Take San Diego. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-17-21 | Nets v. Bucks -5.5 | Top | 89-104 | Win | 100 | 15 h 32 m | Show |
At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Brooklyn. The Bucks fell apart on Tuesday and blew a 17-point lead to put them in a precarious spot. Milwaukee must win its next two games, or it will once again be labeled a post-season paper tiger. One thing Milwaukee can certainly hang its hat on is that it is an awesome 13-2 SU and 10-5 ATS at home over the last four post-seasons. Even better, over the last 31 years, home favorites of more than 4 points, that failed to cover their previous game by 7+ points, have cashed 69% in Playoff elimination games if they trailed in the series by exactly 1 game. Milwaukee has won all four home games this season vs. Brooklyn (3-1 ATS), and is 11-2 SU and 8-5 ATS its last 13 home games in this series. And it's 21-3 SU and 17-7 ATS as a home favorite of more than 3 points off an upset loss. Take the Bucks minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-16-21 | Clippers v. Jazz -2.5 | Top | 119-111 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 13 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz minus the points over the Los Angeles Clippers. Utah's been terrific at home this season, as it's 35-6 SU, and has covered the point spread by an average of 4.07 ppg (compared to a negative mark (-1.10 ppg) on the road). Meanwhile, the Clippers have also performed better this season at its home at Staples Center than it has done on the road (a .136 differential). So, it's not exactly a surprise that the Jazz won both home games, while they lost both road games. The good news for Utah is that it's back home in Salt Lake City tonight. The Jazz are 59-36-2 ATS as a home favorite in the Playoffs, including 13-7-1 ATS off back to back losses. Meanwhile, the Clippers are an awful 67-115-4 ATS vs. .589 (or better) revenge-minded opponents, including 6-25-1 ATS if their foe lost the season's two previous meetings! Finally, when playing at home, and not laying 10+ points, the Jazz are 21-2 SU their last 23, and 20-3 ATS, including 11-0 SU/ATS when favored by less than 7 points. Take Utah minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-16-21 | Padres -175 v. Rockies | Top | 7-8 | Loss | -175 | 12 h 15 m | Show |
At 3:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Colorado Rockies. Which version of Blake Snell will show up this afternoon for the Padres? Will it be the one who opened up the month of June with seven innings of one-hit ball with 10 strikeouts against a very good Mets team? Or will it be the one who lasted only four innings in his next start against that very same club? There's no question that Snell's first season in San Diego has been a bit of an enigma but the talent is clearly still there with the 28-year-old southpaw. Snell's 14th start will come in arguably the Major's toughest ballpark for pitchers but that hasn't been a problem for him in the past. In two career starts here at Coors Field, Snell is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA with 16 strikeouts in 10 innings. Overall against the Rockies, Snell has completely dominated with a 2-0 record and 1.17 ERA in four starts covering 23 innings. Despite their loss here last night, the Padres are still 10-3 in the last 13 meetings with the Rockies. Take San Diego. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-16-21 | Reds v. Brewers -142 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -142 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Cincinnati Reds. Freddy Peralta will get the start for the Brew Crew this afternoon. And Milwaukee will look to salvage the third game of this 3-game set, as it lost the first two games to the Reds. But the good news for Milwaukee is that Peralta will be on the mound today. He has a 6-1 record, with a 2.32 ERA and an 0.83 WHIP. And opposing batters are hitting just .134 against him over 68 innings! The Brewers are 9-3 in his 12 starts, including a perfect 5-0 his last five outings. Even better: Milwaukee's 21-8 in its last 29 day games, and Peralta's home ERA is 1.45, with a 0.56 WHIP. Meanwhile, Tyler Mahle has a 5.90 ERA in his six daytime starts, compared to a 1.83 ERA in his seven nighttime contests. Take Milwaukee. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-15-21 | Phillies +165 v. Dodgers | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 46 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Phillies had their four-game win streak halted yesterday by Tony Gonsolin and the Dodgers, but I love Philly as a big underdog tonight. Julio Urias will take the mound for the World Champs. But Urias has not been overly effective here, at home, this season, as his ERA is 4.58, with a 1.21 WHIP. And in his career, the Dodgers are just 6-6 in his 12 home starts (minus 5 games on the moneyline), when priced as a favorite of -150 to -200. Urias' mound opponent will be RHP Zach Eflin. And Eflin's teams are 8-8 (but +5 games on the moneyline) as a road underdog, priced from +150 to +200. Take the Phillies. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-15-21 | Padres -220 v. Rockies | Top | 4-8 | Loss | -220 | 15 h 16 m | Show |
At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over Colorado. The Rockies snapped their four-game losing streak yesterday with a one-run win over the Padres. But I expect Colorado to resume its losing ways tonight, and especially as it will be facing Yu Darvish. The Japanese righty has a sensational 2.28 ERA and 0.91 WHIP this season, including 11 innings against the Rockies, in which he surrendered 0 earned runs, and struck out 12 Rockies batsmen. Darvish will be opposed by Colorado's Chi Chi Rodriguez (5.62 ERA, 1.41 WHIP). Unfortunately, the Rockies have lost six of Rodriguez' eight starts this season. And his career ERA vs. San Diego is 7.05 in four starts. Take San Diego. |
|||||||
06-15-21 | Bucks v. Nets +4.5 | Top | 108-114 | Win | 100 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Brooklyn Nets + the points over Milwaukee. The Bucks leveled this series at 2 games apiece with a 107-96 upset win in Game 4. Even worse for Brooklyn: the Nets are down two stars, with G Kyrie Irving and G James Harden sidelined. But it would be a mistake to think they're devoid of talent -- especially with Kevin Durant on the court. And with the Nets being installed as a sizable home underdog for this pivotal Game 5, we'll grab the points with the wounded underdog. Indeed, .600 (or better) NBA underdogs of +2.5 (or more) points have cashed 75% since 1991 in the Playoffs if they were off a double-digit upset loss, and matched up against an opponent with a win percentage less than .700. Moreover, Milwaukee is a wallet-busting 12-22 ATS off a double-digit home upset win, while Brooklyn is a solid 42-28 ATS when playing with revenge from a road defeat, and 7-3 this season as a home underdog. Grab the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-15-21 | Reds v. Brewers -104 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -104 | 15 h 47 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Cincinnati Reds. With their big win last night over this Brewers club, the Cincinnati Reds are now two games over .500 and only four games out of first place in the NL Central. So just imagine what their record -- and placing -- would be if they were getting any kind of performance out of their #1 starter RHP Luis Castillo. For no apparent reason, Castillo has been awful so far. After winning 19 games with an ERA around 3.4 runs over the past two seasons, Castillo has completely lost it in 2021. In 13 starts covering 64 innings, Castillo has two wins to go with a league-leading nine losses and an ugly 6.47 ERA. Since nobody seems to know what's wrong with him, there's little reason to think Castillo can turn things around tonight. LH Brett Anderson goes in his 11th start for the Crew. Anderson's season is nothing to crow about (2-4 with a 4.99 ERA) but it's a heck of a lot better than Castillo's. Despite its loss last night, Milwaukee is 7-1 in its last eight home games. Take the Brewers. |
|||||||
06-15-21 | Islanders v. Lightning -195 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 43 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Lightning over the New York Islanders. The surprising Islanders keep on surprising their opponents. They took Game 1 of this series, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon and can now advance to the Stanley Cup Finals simply by winning all of their three home games in this series. Tonight is pretty much a 'must-win' for the Bolts who can ill-afford to go to Long Island down 2-0. The Lightning can take some comfort in the fact that the only times the Islanders beat the same team on the road in back-to-back games during the regular season was in Buffalo on February 15 and 16 and in New Jersey on March 14 and 15. It's a much taller order to do it against the defending Cup Champions before a full house in Tampa. And when the Bolt's offense is quieted in a game like it was on Sunday, they almost always come out firing in their next game as they are 30-5 (+22 games on the moneyline) in their last 35 after scoring one goal or less in their previous. Take Tampa Bay. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-14-21 | Jazz +5 v. Clippers | Top | 104-118 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 10 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz + the points over Los Angeles. We played on the Clippers in Game 3, and got the $$$$ with an easy 132-106 blowout win. But off that 26-point loss, we'll take the Jazz to bounce back at Staples Center tonight. For technical support, consider that .714 (or better) teams have gone 32-10 ATS as underdogs off a loss by more than 21 points! Even better: the Clippers are an awful 67-115 ATS vs. revenge-minded foes with a .589 (or better) win percentage, including 11-27 ATS in the playoffs. Take Utah + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-14-21 | Diamondbacks v. Giants -200 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 17 h 51 m | Show |
At 9:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Arizona Diamondbacks. How does a team score four total runs in a four game series and still manage to come away with a 2-2 split? That's what the Giants did this weekend in DC against the Nats and it's a testament to their pitching that they were able to accomplish that. The Giants' 3.19 team ERA is fourth-best in the Majors and it's the main reason they are the biggest surprise in the NL (maybe in all of baseball). Their offense has been pretty good too, even if it forgot to show up this past weekend. San Fran's 91 home runs ranks second in the NL to the Atlanta Braves and they could use a couple of those tonight against the worst pitching staff in the League (5.09 team ERA). LH Alex Wood brings his 5-3 record, 3.79 ERA and 1.16 WHIP to the home mound tonight and Wood has been pretty solid here this season (3-2 with a 3.94 ERA in five starts). Wood has faced the D-Backs 19 times (11 starts) and he is 5-4 with a 2.96 ERA in 73 innings against them. Take the Giants. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

06-14-21 | Orioles v. Indians -155 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Indians over the Baltimore Orioles. When last we saw these two teams play, the O's were putting up the most runs they've scored since 2015. That 18-5 Sunday afternoon drubbing in Baltimore probably still stings the players on Cleveland's ballclub and you can bet the Tribe is looking forward to getting some revenge in this four-game series at home. It won't be one of the Indians' aces to start things off tonight but rather 24-year-old rookie RHP Jean Carlos Mejia. Mejia's MLB career is off to a solid if not spectacular start as he is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in five games -- including two starts. One of those starts was in that same weekend series in Baltimore, but it wasn't the Sunday game and Mejia actually pitched very well, blanking the O's over three innings while allowing just two hits. A repeat of that performance coupled with some support from his offense should yield a Cleveland victory tonight. The O's are 7-15 in the last 22 meetings and 2-8 in the last 10 here in Cleveland. Take the Tribe. |

06-14-21 | 76ers v. Hawks +3.5 | Top | 100-103 | Win | 100 | 15 h 41 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks + the points over Philadelphia. After upsetting the #1-seeded 76ers in Game 1, 128-124, the Hawks suffered back-to-back blowout losses (118-102, 127-111). But off those two 16-point defeats, we'll grab the points with Atlanta in this critical Game 4. Indeed, NBA teams have cashed 62% at home in the Playoffs after back to back losses by more than 15 points. Moreover, Philadelphia is an awful 6-23-1 ATS on the road, when favored by 10 points or less, if the 76ers were off back to back wins, and owned a win percentage of .625 (or better). And Atlanta is 11-1 ATS as a home dog of +3 (or more) points off back to back losses by more than 15 points. Take the Hawks + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-14-21 | Blue Jays v. Red Sox -119 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 17 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Red Sox over the Toronto Blue Jays. After they dropped 18 runs on Boston on Sunday, the Sox were hoping that the Blue Jays would just go away. But unfortunately for the Sox, this series still has one more game to be played tonight. RHP Nathan Eovaldi will take his 7-3 record and 4.11 ERA to the mound tonight for Boston. Going to the hill for the Blue Jays will be rookie RHP Alek Manoah. Manoah was Toronto's first round pick in 2019 and despite his fast rise to the Majors and young age (23), Manoah has not disappointed so far with a 1-0 record, 3.14 ERA, and 1.19 WHIP over his first three MLB starts covering 14 1/3 innings. This will be Manoah's first-ever start against the Red Sox, but on the other side Eovaldi has faced the Jays seven times including six starts with fairly mixed results. But one thing he does do pretty consistently is win games at Fenway Park. In 34 games (26 starts) here, Eovaldi has a record of 10-5. Also, Eovaldi's 0.4 HR rate this season is the best in baseball, which should serve him well against the homer-happy Blue Jays, who rank #1 this season in home runs (with 99). Take Boston. |

06-13-21 | Suns v. Nuggets +3.5 | Top | 125-118 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 58 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets + the points over Phoenix. The Nuggets are down 3-games-to-none, but I wouldn't count them out of Game 4 -- especially because they're playing at home, and have been installed as an underdog. Indeed, home underdogs of less than 8 points, that trail in a 7-game series, three-games-to-none, have actually done quite well against the spread, with a 28-20-3 ATS record since 1991, including 8-1-1 ATS if our home underdog's win percentage was .625 (or better). Moreover, Denver has been terrific at home off a straight-up home loss, when it's owned a winning record, as it's 6-0-1 ATS its last seven (and 23-12-2 ATS its last 37). Meanwhile, Phoenix has covered just one of its last seven as road favorites vs. winning teams. Take Denver. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-13-21 | Nets v. Bucks UNDER 228.5 | Top | 96-107 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets 'under' the total. All three games of this series have sailed UNDER the total, including Game 3, which generated just 169 points (against an over/under line of 235). And that game went 'under' by a whopping 66 points. So, the oddsmakers have adjusted this Game 4 line but, by my math, it's not been adjusted enough. We'll take the 'under' this afternoon and note, for technical support, that NBA playoff games with O/U lines of 200 (or more) have gone 'under' the total 71% over the last 31 years if the previous game totaled 172 (or less) points. Even better: in competitively-priced games with point spreads of less than 4, Milwaukee has gone 'under' in 7 straight (and 42 of 72), while Brooklyn has also gone 'under' seven straight, and in 78 of 127. Take the 'under.' Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-13-21 | Padres -121 v. Mets | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the New York Mets. After a pretty successful rookie season back in 2018 when he went 8-9 with a 4.08 ERA in 26 starts, LH Joey Lucchesi's career has been going pretty much downhill since. Lucchesi followed up 2018 with a 10-10 and 4.18 campaign in 2019, but the last two seasons have fallen apart for the now-28-year-old. In the 2020 shortened season, Lucchesi went 0-1 with 7.94 ERA in three games (two starts). And so far this season, he hasn't been much better, going 1-4 with a 5.79 ERA in nine games (six starts) covering 28 innings. Lucchesi faces his former San Diego team for only the second time this afternoon and he has a tall order when you consider the Padres' offense is much better now than at any time he played for them (and also because his hitters have to face a very good starter in San Diego's Chris Paddack). The Padres' 25-year-old RHP is looking for revenge today after losing to the Mets in his last start, 6-2, although he threw a quality start in that one. Take San Diego. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-12-21 | Jazz v. Clippers -4.5 | Top | 106-132 | Win | 100 | 15 h 20 m | Show |
At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over the Utah Jazz. After dropping the first two games of this series, the Clippers cannot afford to go down three-games-to-none. Los Angeles was in a similar spot in its last series -- vs. Dallas -- and rebounded from a 2-0 deficit to win that series in seven games. While Utah is no doubt a much more difficult foe than the Mavericks, the Clippers will be able to draw inspiration from that Mavericks series, and I believe that will serve them well in this Game 3. One fact stands out about the Jazz: they are dominating at home this season, as they're 35-6 SU, 27-14 ATS, and covering the point spread by an average of 4.07 ppg. But they're actually failing to cover the spread by 0.35 ppg on the road! That doesn't bode well for Utah tonight. Nor does the fact that .610 (or better) NBA favorites of -3+ points, down 2-games-to-none in a playoff series, have covered 60% over the past 31 seasons. Finally, since Kawhi Leonard joined the Clippers, they're a solid 31-18 ATS as a favorite off a SU/ATS loss, including 7-1 ATS vs. .625 (or better) opponents. Take Los Angeles to blow out Utah tonight. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-12-21 | Cardinals +147 v. Cubs | Top | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 54 m | Show |
At 7:15 pm, our selection is on the St. Louis Cardinals over the Chicago Cubs. How does a starting pitcher lead the league in walks with 37 in 54 2/3 innings -- an absurd walk rate of 6.1 -- and still log a winning record with a very nice 2.63 ERA in his 11 starts. The Cardinals likely don't know how RHP John Gant is doing it anymore than we do and they likely don't care too much as long as he can continue to be successful. Gant's somewhat mysterious season continues tonight as he gets his 12th start and it will come against his team's dvision rival, Chicago, at Wrigley Field. Here is the other strange thing about Gant. As solid as his overall ERA has been this year, it's completely off the charts when he pitches on the road. In six starts away from St. Louis, Gant is 2-1 with a sparkling 0.90 ERA in 30 innings. Moreover, in 13 previous games vs. the Cubs -- three starts -- Gant is 2-2 with a 2.28 ERA in just under 24 innings. Finally, despite their loss on Friday, the Cards are still 8-3 in the last 11 games here on the North Side. Take St. Louis. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-12-21 | Padres -125 v. Mets | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the New York Mets. It's hard to believe that a pitcher with a 2.33 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 6.85 K:BB ratio and no-hitter to his credit could be considered as having a hard-luck season. But that's pretty much how you would have to classify the Padres' Joe Musgrove. The reason for the hard-luck label is the 28-year-old's 4-5 record in 12 games (11 starts). Obviously, with the kind of numbers he has and the kind of team he has around him, Musgrove should have a much better record than the one he's currently sporting. He has revenge on his mind today, as in his last start, Musgrove and the Padres were shut out by the Mets, 4-0, on June 5 in his home ballpark. Musgrove hopes to do better in his first career start at pitcher-friendly Citi Field. Musgrove has actually been much more effective on the road this season. In six games (five starts) away from San Diego, Musgrove has logged a 1.76 ERA and 0.69 WHIP (compared to a 2.83 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in six starts at Petco Park). Take the Padres. |

06-12-21 | Blue Jays +112 v. Red Sox | Top | 7-2 | Win | 112 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Boston Red Sox. Two starters who used to face off over in the National League East Division will do so again this afternoon -- but as members of AL East teams. Boston's Nick Pivetta and Toronto's Steven Matz came over from the Phillies and Mets, respectively, and they will go to the mound for their new teams in this critical game. You could certainly argue that Pivetta and his 6-1 record and 3.78 ERA has had the better season so far, and few would disagree with you. But despite his higher ERA (4.50), Matz has managed a winning record and has had to pitch his home games in what are basically minor league parks (Buffalo, Dunedin). And Toronto's two home ballparks this season rank (along with Coors Field) among the three highest in terms of projected runs scored. This is reflected in the veteran southpaw's poor home numbers (1-2 with a 5.76 ER and 1.92 WHIP in five starts) vs. his superior ones on the road (5-1 with a 3.69 ERA and 1.03 WHIP). Toronto is also 13-8 (+5 games on the moneyline) in its last 21 daytime games. Take the Blue Jays. |

06-11-21 | Suns v. Nuggets -1.5 | Top | 116-102 | Loss | -106 | 13 h 24 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets over the Phoenix Suns. The Suns swept the first two games of this series to take a 2-0 lead. But those two games were in Phoenix, where the Suns have gone 31-10 SU, 27-14 ATS, and have covered the spread by an average of 4.02 ppg. On the road, Phoenix has been less successful, as it's failed to cover the spread by an average of 0.5 ppg. Denver, meanwhile, covers the spread at home by an average of 1.34 ppg. We'll take the Nuggets in this Game 3, as they've been terrific at home off back to back losses by more than 10 points, and especially when priced from +1.5 to -4.5 points, as they're 19-3 ATS their last 22. Even better: Denver lost the first two games 122-105 and 123-98. But NBA teams off back to back Playoff losses that gave up more than 120 points in each game, have cashed 64% since 1990. This is a virtual 'must-win' game for Mike Malone's men. Lay the small number. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-11-21 | Astros -152 v. Twins | Top | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Minnesota Twins. Bailey Ober will now get the start for Minnesota, and Ober has not impressed in his young career, thus far. He's made two starts this season, and has given up 5 runs in 8 innings (5.62 ERA), with a 1.37 WHIP. Ober will face the Astros, who upset the Twins in last year's playoffs. Houston will hand the ball to RHP Jose Urquidy, who also stumbled in his last start (six runs in 4 1/3 innings at Toronto). But Houston won each of Urquidy's five starts prior to that outing. And Urquidy's career ERA vs. Minnesota is 2.08, with a WHIP of 0.92. Even better: the Astros have scored 7, 8, and 8 runs in each of their last three games. And they're 32-8 on the road after scoring 7+ runs in each of their three previous games. Take the Astros. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-11-21 | Blue Jays v. Red Sox -124 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Red Sox over the Toronto Blue Jays. Ross Stripling followed up an All Star season in 2018 with another solid campaign in 2019 (4-4 with a 3.47 ERA in 32 games including 15 starts). Despite that success, Stripling was still relegated to a part time role in the rotation for the Dodgers. Then in 2020 after struggling through the first few months, the Dodgers traded the 30-year-old right-hander to Toronto for players named later. Stripling has continued to struggle with the Jays, which is not surprising considering he's in the American League now and not pitching his home games in Dodger Stadium anymore. He'll have to face a very good offense in the Red Sox tonight and in four previous starts against them, Stripling has been knocked around pretty good, going 2-2 with a 5.00 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. Garrett Richards (4-4 with a 3.88 ERA in 65 innings) will get his 13th start for the Sox tonight, and he's been fairly consistent of late. In his last eight starts, he's allowed three earned runs (or less) in seven of them. Richards also excels in his nighttime starts, as his teams are 63-42 (+17 games on the moneyline) in his career (compared to 14-21, minus 13 games on the moneyline in daytime starts). These two pitchers actually faced off against each other last month, and Richards notched his 4th win of the season, in a 7-3 BoSox victory. Finally, the Red Sox are 15-6 (+8 games on the moneyline) in their last 21 games vs. Division opponents. Take Boston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-10-21 | Clippers +3.5 v. Jazz | Top | 111-117 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 33 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers + the points over Utah. The Jazz drew first blood in this series with a three-point win in Game 1. But off that loss, we'll step in and take the points with the underdog Clippers. It's true that the Jazz rolled to the best record in the league this year, and are 34-6 at home. But consider that #1 seeds are a poor 58-91 ATS as a favorite in the Playoffs when they lead in a series against a .600 (or better) opponent. Even better: the Clippers are 23-10 ATS on the road when playing with revenge, including 11-1 ATS if the game was competitively-priced with a point spread of 4 points or less. And Los Angeles is an awesome 39-14 ATS off exactly one loss. Take L.A. + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-10-21 | Blue Jays v. White Sox +104 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 104 | 15 h 29 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the Toronto Blue Jays. LHP Dallas Keuchel is proof that you can continue to have a productive career as an MLB pitcher after your years as a strikeout artist are over. Keuchel used to punch out close to a batter per inning but those days are behind him now and the 33-year-old southpaw is having to re-invent himself in his second season with the White Sox. So far, it appears to be working as Keuchel is 4-1 with a 4.25 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 12 starts covering just under 66 innings. The good news for Keuchel tonight is that his record against the Blue Jays is unblemished. In six starts covering just under 38 innings, Keuchel is 4-0 vs. Toronto. The White Sox are also 6-1 (+5 games on the moneyline) in Keuchel's last seven starts. Korean southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu will start for the Blue Jays tonight and the Sox are 29-4 (+23 games on the moneyline) in their last 33 games vs. teams with a lefty starter. Take the White Sox. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-10-21 | Nets v. Bucks -3.5 | Top | 83-86 | Loss | -103 | 15 h 47 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Brooklyn. The Bucks were embarrassed in Game 2, as they were blown out, 125-86, by Brooklyn. But that 39-point defeat sets up our play tonight, as .250 (or better) teams have gone 35-5 SU and 28-11-1 ATS at home off a blowout loss by 39+ points, if they were favored by more than 2 points in their current game (and a perfect 6-0 ATS if their win percentage was greater than .600). Moreover, Milwaukee is 44-17-1 ATS at home off back-to-back losses. Take Milwaukee minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-09-21 | Nuggets +6 v. Suns | Top | 98-123 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 40 m | Show |
At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets + the points over the Phoenix Suns. The Nuggets dropped Game 1, 122-105, as a 6-point underdog. But Mike Malone's men have been exceptional in the Playoffs, when trailing in a series, as they're 10-5 SU and 12-2-1 ATS their last 15, including a perfect 7-0 ATS if they failed to cover the spread in their previous game. That bodes well for Denver tonight. As does the fact that .700 (or better) teams are a poor 35% ATS at home in the Playoffs since 1991 when not favored by 8+ points, if they won their previous game in the series by more than 11 points. Take Denver. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-09-21 | Indians v. Cardinals -121 | Top | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 15 h 21 m | Show |
At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cleveland Indians. After an 18-5 drubbing at the hands of the Orioles of all teams on Sunday, Cleveland had a day off and then took out its frustration in St. Louis on the Cardinals last night. But that was a pitching mis-match with Shane Bieber going up against Carlos Martinez who might not be long for the rotation if he can't turn things around soon. Tonight it will be the ageless wonder -- RHP Adam Wainwright -- going for the Cards. Just shy of his 40th birthday, Wainwright can still go out and give his team six-plus quality innings and he certainly doesn't mind the occasional inter-league match-up. In 42 games vs. the AL (36 starts), Wainwright is 16-12 with a 3.73 ERA in 242 innings. In two previous games vs. the Tribe (one start), Wainwright is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA with 12 Ks and three walks in 11 innings. Despite their win on Tuesday, the Indians are still 2-5 in their last seven inter-league road games. The Cards are 15-5 in their last 20 games as a favorite. Take St. Louis. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

06-09-21 | Bruins -130 v. Islanders | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -130 | 15 h 43 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Boston Bruins over the New York Islanders. Just like they did against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Islanders have taken all the air out of the sails of their opponent with a huge Game 5 win on the road to take a 3-2 series lead. But even though the uniform colors of the Pens and Bruins may be very similar, there is reason to believe that the Isles will have a tougher time wrapping up the series tonight at home. For one thing, in the regular season, Boston only lost nine games in regulation on the road (Pittsburgh had lost 12), one of the lowest such numbers in the league. Second, Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask was not 100% for Game 5 and had a rare off-night (four goals on 16 shots) before being replaced by rookie Jeremy Swayman. With a day off to recover, Rask should be ready to go tonight and eager to show everyone -- especially his teammates that -- Monday was a fluke. To wit: Rask's career GAA vs. New York is 1.88. Finally, the Bruins are a perfect 8-0 in their last eight games following back-to-back losses. Take Boston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-09-21 | Mets -136 v. Orioles | Top | 14-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 12 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Mets over the Baltimore Orioles. Don't look now, but some other team's lineup seems to have taken over that of the Baltimore Orioles in the last few days. All the O's hitters have done over the last two games is put up 28 runs on 37 hits in victories over the Indians and Mets. Tonight, the Mets stay in town for the second of this two-game inter-league set and the problem for the Orioles won't be their offense but the fact that a former Met is scheduled to go to the mound for them. Matt Harvey was all the rage for New York when he came up at age 23 almost 10 years ago. But injuries have completely derailed Harvey's career and he's now trying to resurrect it in Baltimore (but it's not going well). In contrast, a pitcher who HAS resurrected his career is Harvey's mound opponent tonight -- the Mets veteran RH Taijuan Walker. Walker is 4-2 in 11 starts, with a sparkling 2.17 ERA in 54 innings. Most importantly, Walker's teams are 10-1 (+9 games on the moneyline) in his last 11 starts as a favorite. Take the Mets. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-08-21 | Clippers v. Jazz -4 | Top | 109-112 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 4 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz minus the points over the Los Angeles Clippers. Kawhi Leonard & Co. were extended to seven games by the Dallas Mavericks, while Utah had a much easier time of it vs. the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately for the Clippers, teams off home SU/ATS wins in a Game 7 have covered just 35% since 1991 when they've played on the road in Game 1 of the following series, provided their opponent won its previous series in less than 7 games. That doesn't bode well for Los Angeles tonight. Nor does the fact that the Jazz have won the last five meetings here in Salt Lake City (4-1 ATS), and are 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings, overall. The Jazz were the #1 home point spread team in the league this season, as they covered the spread at home by 4.56 ppg. The Clippers, meanwhile, had a road point spread differential of just 0.11 this season. Utah's an awesome 33-4 SU and 25-12 ATS at home its last 37, while the Clippers are 1-11 SU and 2-10 ATS on the road in the playoffs after winning their two previous games. Take Utah. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-08-21 | Diamondbacks v. A's -196 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 16 h 31 m | Show |
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Oakland Athletics over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Sometimes MLB pitchers don't hit their stride until they hit their 30s. Starters like Charlie Morton come to mind and so does tonight's starter for the A's, RHP Chris Bassitt. Through his age 29 season, Bassitt went 4-14 with a 3.86 ERA and 1.96 K:BB ratio. But since 2019 -- his age 30 season -- Bassitt is 20-9 with a 3.40 ERA and 276 strikeouts vs. 81 walks -- a 3.41 K:BB ratio. Bassitt goes for win number six on the season tonight against a Diamondbacks team that has not had success on the road this season. In 34 games away from the Desert, Arizona is 9-25 and it's 0-4 in the last four meetings with Oakland. And in those four games, the D-Backs have been out-scored by 25-12. Bassitt's ERA here at home is a full run better than it is on the road this season (2.97 vs. 3.98). Neither of these teams had games on Monday and that's a situation that Oakland should relish tonight, having gone 8-0 in its last eight games when playing with a day off. Take the A's. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-08-21 | Golden Knights v. Avalanche -138 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -138 | 15 h 9 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Avalanche over the Vegas Golden Knights. After the Avs took games one and two of this series by a combined score of 10-3, Knights fans had to wonder if a move to the Vegas Strip would result in a turnaround. And it did, as the Knights not only won games three and four to even this series up, but they pretty much dominated both of those contests in the process. Now that attendance at most of the U.S. arenas is near full capacity, the home ice is becoming a much more important factor it would appear. Which is why this series is likely to shift yet again tonight when it returns to the Ball Arena -- a place which has wreaked havoc on most visitors all season long (even when there was nobody attending the Avs home games). The Avalanche are an incredible 20-0-1 over their last 21 home games and 12-2 in their last 14 immediately following a loss by three or more goals. Meanwhile, the Knights are 11-16 (-14 games on the moneyline) in their last 27 coming off a win by more than three goals. Take the Avalanche. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-08-21 | Giants -133 v. Rangers | Top | 9-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 58 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Texas Rangers. The Giants lost a tough one on Sunday after going up 3-1 on the Cubs after two innings. The offense fired blanks after that and the Giants fell 4-3. Firing blanks is something that San Francisco's opponent tonight, the Texas Rangers, sure know something about. The normally potent Ranger offense is anything but lately. Over the last 30 days, Texas is last in the American League in batting average (.208), home runs (23), OPS (.613), and next to last in runs scored (90). At least some of that struggle is due to the fact that the Rangers play their home games in a new park that has turned out to be quite a pitcher's paradise. Those problems could continue tonight in Arlington against LHP Alex Wood, one of the latest reclamation projects of the Giants. In nine starts covering 51 2/3 innings, Wood is 5-3 with a 3.48 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. The Rangers are also a woeful 0-8 in their last eight inter-league games, while the Giants are 19-7 in the last 26 meetings. Take San Francisco. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-08-21 | Hawks v. 76ers -5 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 14 h 30 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points over Atlanta. The Hawks drew first blood on Sunday, with a 128-124 upset win over the Sixers. But off that defeat, we'll play on the 76ers in Game 2 tonight. Indeed, that 128 points was the most points the Sixers have given up in a loss, with Joel Embiid in the lineup, this season. The good news, however, is that NBA teams that give up 125+ points in an upset playoff defeat are a perfect 8-0 ATS the last four playoff seasons, and 67% ATS the past 31 years. Take Philadelphia to bounce back strong on Tuesday night. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-07-21 | Cubs v. Padres -119 | Top | 4-9 | Win | 100 | 18 h 59 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Chicago Cubs. The Padres would probably prefer to bring 21-year-old former first round draft pick Ryan Weathers along slowly and perhaps use him more as a bullpen option at this point of his career. But a plethora of injuries to their pitching staff has meant that Weathers has moved into a more-or-less full-time role as a Padres starter. It would appear at this time that San Diego is going with a six-man rotation and the young RH is sure making a strong case that the Pads should continue to do that for the time being. In 12 games -- including seven starts -- Weathers is 2-2 with a 2.06 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in just over 39 innings. Both the Padres and Weathers get a chance for some revenge tonight as Weathers faced the Cubs six days ago and picked up his second loss (and the Cubs swept the Padres in that 3-game series). But those games were in Wrigley Field; tonight Weathers gets the Cubbies at home where he has a 1.93 ERA in six games (three starts). The Padres are also red-hot at home, going 15-4 in their last 19 here at Petco Park. And they're 82-80 (but +21 games on the moneyline) when playing with revenge from a 3-game series sweep. Take San Diego. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-07-21 | Islanders v. Bruins -185 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -185 | 14 h 27 m | Show |
At 6:35 pm, our selection is on the Boston Bruins over the New York Islanders. The Isles prevailed in their must-win game on Saturday and now the series swings back to Boston, knotted up at two games apiece. The final score on Saturday was 4-1, but this was really a one-goal game as New York scored a pair of empty-netters at the end. That's three extremely close games in a row, so although the Bruins look like a comfortable favorite tonight, they cannot make any mistakes. Tuukka Rask has been sensational in goal for Boston and he will need another stellar performance tonight if the Bruins are to go up 3-2. And the key stat for us tonight is that the Bruins are 13-1 their last 14 home games after scoring less than 2 goals in their previous game! Additionally, the hosts have had the edge between these two recently as the home team is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings and the Isles are just 1-4 in the last five here at TD Garden. The Isles are also just 12-16 (-8 games on the moneyline) in their last 28 coming off a home win by three or more goals. And the Bruins are 11-2 (+9 games on the moneyline) in their last 13 revenging a loss where the opponent scored four or more. Take Boston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-06-21 | Avalanche +102 v. Golden Knights | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Avalanche over the Las Vegas Knights. Newsflash: The Avalanche have lost a post-season game. After sweeping the Blues in the first round and taking the first two over a strong Knights team, the Avs finally succumbed, 3-2 on the Vegas Strip on Friday. Vegas dominated the game, outshooting the Avs 43-20 which indicates that the score really shouldn't have been that close (Colorado actually held a 2-1 advantage five minutes into the 3rd period). This indicates that if the Avs can turn those shots-on-goal numbers around and/or compete at a much harder level (which coach Jared Bednar lamented was the REAL problem for Colorado in Game 3), they stand a good chance to head back to Denver with a commanding 3-1 series lead. The other good news for the Avs is that they tend to thrive in revenge situations. They are 13-2 (+10 games on the moneyline) in their last 15 (and 38-16 their last 54) revenging a same season loss vs. an opponent and they are 9-1 (+7 games on the moneyline) in their last 10 revenging a road loss. They are also 13-4 in their last 17 following a loss (6-1 in their last seven following a loss of one goal). Take Colorado. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-06-21 | Red Sox v. Yankees -138 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -138 | 14 h 33 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Boston Red Sox. Garrett Richards will toe the rubber for Boston this evening, and he's had ZERO success in his career vs. New York. In six starts vs. the Pinstripes, Richards is 0-5 (his teams are 0-6), with an ERA of 8.76, and a WHIP of 1.78. It doesn't get much uglier than that! In contrast, Domingo German has made five starts vs. Boston, and his teams are 4-1. Even better: at home, in his career, German's teams are 17-5, including a perfect 8-0 when priced from -125 to -175. And his teams have won 17 of his last 21 nighttime starts. Meanwhile, Richards teams are 3-17 on the road in his starts, when priced from +125 to +175. Take the Yankees to blow out Boston. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-06-21 | Mets v. Padres -133 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -133 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the New York Mets. Chris Paddack will get the start for the homestanding Padres this afternoon. At home, Paddack has a 2.37 ERA and 1.15 WHIP this season, and the Padres are 6-1 at home when favored by 150 or less with him on the mound. That bodes well for San Diego today. As does the fact that the Mets are a horrible 19-37 (minus 15 games on the moneyline) as a road underdog, priced at +150 or less, while Marcus Stroman's teams are 12-26 (minus 12 games on the moneyline) in his career, when priced as the underdog. Take San Diego. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-06-21 | Mavs v. Clippers UNDER 210.5 | Top | 111-126 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
At 3:35 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Los Angeles Clippers/Dallas Mavericks game. The last three games in this series have gone 'under' the total, and have done so by wide margins (32.5, 12.5 and 16 points). We played on the 'under' in Game 6, and that's the way we will look again in this Game 7. Indeed, eight of the last 10 meetings between these clubs have gone UNDER. And the Mavericks are now 23-6 UNDER their last 29 games when they've been installed as the underdog. Finally, NBA games have gone UNDER 72.5% if the season's previous three meetings went under, in the aggregate, by 59+ points. Take the UNDER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-06-21 | Reds v. Cardinals -121 | Top | 8-7 | Loss | -121 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
At 2:15 pm, our selection is on the St. Louis Cardinals over Cincinnati. The Cards have dropped four straight games heading into this contest. They'll hand the ball to RHP John Gant, who comes into this game off back to back scoreless outings -- against two of baseball's best clubs. On June 1, Gant held the mighty Dodgers to 0 runs over six innings, in a 3-2 win. And back on May 26, he threw five scoreless innings at the White Sox, in a 4-0 victory. Gant and the Cardinals are back home for this one, and Cincy is a poor 26-49 (minus 23 games on the moneyline) on the road, when priced from +125 to -125. And the Reds are also 40-63 (minus 29 games on the moneyline) in daytime affairs. Take St. Louis. |
|||||||
06-06-21 | Tigers v. White Sox -210 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over Detroit. Nobody is going to pick the Tigers to win the World Series -- or even a Division Title -- anytime soon, but this club has played surprisingly well lately. With series against the Yankees, Brewers, and White Sox, Detroit has gone 5-3. Unfortunately, the Tigers face a very talented young starter in RH Dylan Cease this afternoon. Admittedly, Cease still walks too many batters -- although he's done slightly better in that category in 2021 -- but when he's on, he can be very good. The 25-year-old also has one of the strongest home/road biases in baseball this season. In six starts here at Guaranteed Rate Field, Cease is 2-0 with an amazing 1.99 ERA in just under 32 innings. But in five road starts, he is 1-2 with 6.26 ERA in 23 innings. He also had his best start this season against the Tigers. On April 29 in the second game of a double-header, Cease pitched a seven inning complete game shutout right here at home. Detroit is 7-24 in the last 31 meetings and 5-17 in the last 22 meetings here. Take the White Sox. |

06-05-21 | Bucks v. Nets -4 | Top | 107-115 | Win | 100 | 13 h 23 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Brooklyn Nets minus the points over the Milwaukee Bucks. Our preseason pick to win this year's NBA championship was Milwaukee (at 13-2 odds), but it will be an uphill climb for the Bucks to do it, as they're seeded #3 in the Eastern conference. Tonight, Milwaukee will have to go into Brooklyn to face a very tough Nets team which boasts three offensive superstars in Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and James Harden. It's true that Milwaukee was impressive in its 4-game sweep over the Miami Heat. But NBA teams off 4-0 Sweeps have covered just 36% over the last 31 years in Game 1 of their next series if they weren't laying 7+ points, and their opponent was NOT off a series sweep. Even worse for Milwaukee: Brooklyn is playing tonight's game with revenge from back-to-back losses to the Bucks last month. And revenge-minded teams have gone 23-8 ATS (in the quarterfinal round, forward) at home in Game 1 of a series. Finally, Milwaukee's been horrific away from home off 4+ wins, when facing a revenge-minded, rested opponent, as it's covered just 25.8% ATS since 1990, including 0-9 ATS since March 31, 2019. Take Brooklyn minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-05-21 | Hurricanes v. Lightning -153 | Top | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Lightning over the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes have to be very disappointed that they couldn't win at least one of the first two games at home in Raleigh against the Lightning. But with their backs against the wall in Game 3 in Tampa, the 'Canes came through and scored in overtime to take a hard-fought 3-2 victory on Thursday. But if you're the Lightning, you have to feel pretty confident despite the loss. The Bolts out-shot the Canes, 37-27 and only the incredible play of Carolina goalie Petr Mrazek kept the Canes in the game. The Bolts don't want to go back to Raleigh with the series tied 2-2, with all of the momentum having swung Carolina's way. So look for them to come out more aggressive early on to try to establish that dominance on the ice -- and the scoreboard. The Bolts also know that despite Carolina's win on Thursday, the Hurricanes are still just 17-35 in the last 52 meetings overall and just 4-13 in their last 17 tries here at the Amalie Arena. Meanwhile, the Lightning are 57-22 off a loss. Take the Lightning. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-04-21 | Avalanche v. Golden Knights +104 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 104 | 15 h 58 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Vegas Golden Knights over the Colorado Avalanche. Our preseason pick to win this year's Stanley Cup was Colorado (at 7-1 odds), and the Avalanche have done nothing yet to dispel our belief that they will eventually be crowned the champs. They've won their last 11 games, and also earned the Presidents' Trophy for garnering the most points in the regular season. But Vegas tied Colorado for points in the regular season (it lost on the tie-breaker), and actually outplayed the Avs in Game 2, though it lost in overtime, 3-2, on a power play goal by Mikko Rantenen. Indeed, the Golden Knights struck the goal post five times on shots that got by Philipp Grubauer (and outshot the Avs, 41-25), so they were enormously unlucky on Wednesday night. The good news for Vegas is that it will be back home at T-Mobile Arena on Friday, where it went 21-5-2 this season. Even better: Vegas is 48-26 (+19.4 games on the moneyline) off a road loss, and 63-40 when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season. Take the Golden Knights. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-04-21 | Clippers v. Mavs UNDER 216.5 | Top | 104-97 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the under in the Dallas/Los Angeles game. The Clippers were upset by the Mavericks, 105-100, as a 7.5-point home favorite on Wednesday, which sets up this 'do-or-die' game for Tyronn Lue's men tonight. Los Angeles has now gone 'under' in 10 of its last 13 games off a straight-up loss, while Dallas is 17-11 'under' vs. opponents off a loss. Even better: these two teams come into tonight's game off two very low-scoring contests (105-100, 106-81) that went under the total by 32.5 and 12.5 points, respectively. And that sets up tonight's play, as competitively-priced playoff games, with point spreads of 3 (or less) points, have gone 'under' 60.9% since 1991, if the two teams also went under in their two previous games. We'll look for another low-scoring game tonight in Game 6. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-04-21 | Reds v. Cardinals -132 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -132 | 13 h 6 m | Show |
At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cincinnati Reds. What has happened to Luis Castillo? Nobody seems to know for sure, but whatever it is, the Reds would like to fix it as soon as possible. Considered one of the top starters in the NL after back-to-back stellar seasons, the 28-year-old RH has seen his game fall apart so far in 2021. In 11 starts, Castillo is 1-8 with 7.22 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in just over 52 innings. Those are some truly ugly numbers. He'll try again tonight, but it will be against one of the better teams in the league in the 31-26 Cards. St. Louis' pitching injuries (Hudson, Mikolas, and now Flaherty) have opened the door for Korean LH Kwang Hyun Kim. In eight starts, Kim's record is just 1-3 but he has a nice 3.65 ERA in 37 innings. Kim probably can't wait to get started tonight. In three previous starts vs. the Reds, the 32-year-old southpaw is 3-0 with a sparkling 0.54 ERA (one run in 16 2/3 innings) and 0.78 WHIP. The Reds, meanwhile, are a wallet-busting 49-99 in the last 148 meetings here in St. Louis. Take the Cardinals. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-04-21 | Red Sox v. Yankees -109 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 21 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Boston Red Sox. We're two months into the baseball season, but the Yankees and Red Sox have yet to play a game against each other. All that changes tonight when Boston travels to the Bronx to face their rival. And the Red Sox have had little success vs. the Yankees of late, as they've lost their last 11 games here, at Yankee Stadium. We'll take New York tonight to extend that streak to 12 games, as they'll hand the ball to RHP Michael King. King has made two appearances in his career vs. the BoSox, and he's 1-0 with a 4.05 ERA. Even better: the Yankees are a dominant 58-22 (+21 games on the moneyline) at home if they lost their previous game. And they're 41-18 at home when priced as a favorite of -150 (or less). Take the Yankees. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-03-21 | Suns v. Lakers UNDER 207.5 | Top | 113-100 | Loss | -102 | 17 h 36 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Phoenix/Los Angeles game. These two teams have played four of their five games in this 1st round series UNDER the total. And the last three have gone 'under' by wide margins (9.5, 17.5 and 7.0 points). That bodes well for another low-scoring game on Thursday, as NBA playoff games have gone 'under' 67% since 1991 after the three previous games went 'under' by at least 5.0 ppg. Take Game 6 'under.' Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-03-21 | Mets v. Padres -175 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 16 h 4 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the NY Mets. Yu Darvish will toe the rubber for San Diego tonight, and the Padres have won 10 of his 11 starts in 2021, including the last seven in a row. I look for this streak to remain intact tonight, as the Mets are a dreadful 8-25 as road underdogs, priced from +125 to +175. Even better: Darvish's teams are 16-1 at home vs. opponents with below average power that average 0.9 (or less) home runs per game (the Mets have hit just 43 HRs in 48 games). And his ERA in his seven nighttime starts this season is a microscopic 1.37. Take San Diego. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-03-21 | Cubs v. Giants -125 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 16 h 39 m | Show |
At 9:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Chicago Cubs. At first blush, the Giants' Anthony DeSclafani's 4-2 record and 3.56 ERA in 11 starts are very solid. But the former Cincinnati Reds RHP's numbers are even more impressive when you consider that DeSclafani allowed 10 runs in 2 2/3 innings two starts ago to the Dodgers. In fact, the 31-year-old's last two starts have come against Los Angeles leading into this match-up with the Cubs. DeSclafani has faced the Cubs on 12 previous occasions from his time in the NL Central and he has a winning record (4-3) against them with a 3.91 ERA in 69 innings. DeSclafani now pitches for the Giants and has the benefit of a very pitcher-friendly home venue in Oracle Park. At 32-23, the Cubs have had a very successful campaign so far in 2021 but they are 2-6 in the last eight meetings here in San Francisco. The Giants are a reliable 14-5 (+12 games on the moneyline) in their last 19 games immediately following a loss. Take San Francisco. |
|||||||
06-03-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -5 | Top | 126-115 | Loss | -103 | 14 h 5 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers minus the points over the Denver Nuggets. The Blazers lost Game 5 at Denver, in double-overtime, to fall behind in this series, three-games-to-two. But we'll look for the Blazers to level this series at three games apiece tonight, as teams favored by more than 4 points, and facing elimination in a first round series, have cashed 68% since 2001, including 88% vs. foes with a win percentage greater than .620. Additionally, Denver is 39-68 ATS on the road off a SU/ATS win. Take Portland. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-03-21 | Diamondbacks v. Brewers -162 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Heading into the 2019 season, expectations for LHP Brett Anderson were not very high to say the least. The then-30-year-old had only managed two seasons -- out of 10 up to that point -- in which he made it through uninjured and the last one was 2015. But 2019 seemed to do the trick as Anderson started 31 games for the A's, winning 13 times with a nice 3.89 ERA. Ironically, he was cut loose at the end of that season and the Brewers picked him up. And so far, so good, as Anderson has only made two short trips to the IL but otherwise has not missed a beat in 2020 or so far this season. In eight starts in 2021, Anderson is 2-3 with a 4.18 ERA -- not spectacular numbers, but Milwaukee is being very cautious with him for good reason. Here at Miller Park, Anderson has made eight career starts with a 3-2 record and 3.83 ERA in 40 innings. The D-Backs are also 2-9 in the last 11 meetings with the Crew and 1-7 in the last eight in Milwaukee. Take the Brewers. |
|||||||
06-02-21 | Mavs +7 v. Clippers | Top | 105-100 | Win | 100 | 17 h 32 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks + the points over the Los Angeles Clippers. The road team has gone 4-0 SU/ATS in this playoff series (and is 8-1 the last nine meetings), and we'll back the road team, Dallas, tonight. The Mavericks are a solid 118-74 off a loss vs. an opponent off a win. And underdogs have cashed 67.6% since 1991 off a 22-point (or worse) playoff defeat, if they don't trail in the series. Take Dallas. |
|||||||
06-02-21 | Grizzlies v. Jazz UNDER 225.5 | Top | 110-126 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 2 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz/Memphis Grizzlies game to go under the total. The Grizzlies have lost their last three games to face elimination tonight. We'll look for a relatively-low scoring game, as 1st Round elimination games have gone 'under' the total 57% since 1991 if the team facing elimination was not getting more than 10 points. And Utah has gone 'under' 62-44 at home in the playoffs. Take the 'under.' Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-02-21 | Cardinals v. Dodgers -221 | Top | 3-14 | Win | 100 | 16 h 35 m | Show |
At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers over St. Louis. One of my favorite pitchers, Walker Buehler, will take the mound for Los Angeles tonight. We played against Buehler in his last start, and got the $$$ with the San Francisco Giants as a +171 underdog. But we'll reverse course, and take Buehler tonight, as he's dominated the Cards in his career, with a 2.37 ERA and a stellar 0.84 WHIP. Moreover, the Dodgers are an awesome 58-13 (+23.4 games on the moneyline) as a home favorite, priced at -200 (or more), including 16-3 (+8 games on the moneyline) with Buehler on the hill. That bodes well for the Dodgers in this game. As does the fact that St. Louis' Carlos Martinez has an awful ERA of 5.29 over his last three starts, while Buehler's ERA over his last three games is 0.90. Take Los Angeles. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

06-02-21 | Canadiens v. Jets -132 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -132 | 14 h 11 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Winnipeg Jets over the Montreal Canadiens. Montreal surprised heavily favored Toronto, coming back from a 3-1 games deficit to advance to the second round. Now the Habs will try to do the same to the upstart Jets, who also pulled off an upset of their own (over the Oilers) in their first round series. But this may be more difficult than beating Toronto, whose offense went to sleep in the seven-game series. For one thing, the Jets have had the Habs number lately, taking seven of the last 10 meetings. Second, Winnipeg has had 10 days to rest, recover and prepare for this game while the Habs played two days ago and are still licking their wounds from that tough series. Including their first round four-game sweep of Edmonton, the Jets have now won six straight coming in so you could say they are peaking at just the right time. Montreal has won three straight but it is just 1-13 (-17 games on the moneyline) in its last 14 following a three-game win streak. And it's also a poor 24-37 (minus 19.9 games on the moneyline) off a win by 2+ goals. Take Winnipeg. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-02-21 | Hawks v. Knicks -1 | Top | 103-89 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 2 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over the Atlanta Hawks. The Knicks swept the Hawks, 3-games-to-none, in the regular season, but have dropped the last two games (by 11 and 17 points) to fall behind in this series, 3-games-to-1. So, if the Knicks can't win tonight, they'll be ousted from the playoffs. We'll lay the points, as favorites off back to back double-digit losses, have gone 63% ATS at home in the playoffs since 1991. Take New York. |
|||||||
06-01-21 | Lightning v. Hurricanes -110 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 27 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Hurricanes over the Tampa Bay Lightning. This series has the makings of a great one, as both clubs rightfully have championship hopes. The Lightning drew first blood with a Game 1 victory, 2-1, behind 37 saves from Andrei Vasilevskiy. We'll take the homestanding Hurricanes to bounce back in Game 2, as they are 23-9 here, in Raleigh, this season, including 6-2 if they lost their previous home game. And the Hurricanes are also 16-8 when playing with revenge. The Lightning, meanwhile, are an unprofitable 17-14 (minus 6.8 games on the moneyline) on the road this season, and are 8-8 (minus 6.7 games on the moneyline) off a road win. The revenge-minded team has won each of the last four meetings in this series, and we look for Carolina to extend that streak to five games. Take the Hurricanes. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-01-21 | Marlins v. Blue Jays -152 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 2 h 51 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Miami Marlins. Monday was Memorial Day in the U.S. but not in Canada (July 1 is Memorial Day north of the border). So while almost all of the American-based teams were playing, Canada's only team had the day off. The Jays return to action tonight and it will be in a new ballpark for 2021. After playing their home games in Dunedin for the first two months of this season, Toronto returns to Buffalo's Sahlen Field where it played last season. This could be a good thing in general for Jays pitchers as the Florida venue was considered a bandbox and the one in Buffalo is much more pitcher-friendly. RH Robbie Ray gets the honors tonight in his 10th start of the season. Ray is having a nice rebound campaign, going 2-2 with a 3.81 ERA and career-best 5.00 K:BB ratio with 60 strikeouts and 12 walks in 52 innings. Ray has a career 2.31 ERA and 1.03 WHIP vs. Miami with 43 strikeouts and 12 walks in 39 innings against them. The Jays are also 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. Take Toronto. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

05-31-21 | Jazz v. Grizzlies UNDER 225.5 | Top | 120-113 | Loss | -112 | 19 h 28 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the 'under' in the Memphis/Utah game. The Grizzlies find themselves in a virtual 'must-win' situation tonight, as they're down 2-games-to-1 after dropping Games 2 + 3 by scores of 141-129 and 121-111. Clearly, the Grizzlies will need to shore up things on the defensive end if they hope to get back into this series with an upset win tonight. I look for a much better defensive effort by the home team, and a lower-scoring game tonight, on Monday. Indeed, NBA playoff games have gone under the total 71% of the time since 1990 if a team was off back to back losses, in which it gave up more than 120 points. And the Grizzlies have also gone 'under' 33-13-1 their last 47 after giving up 120+ points in their previous game. Take the 'under' tonight. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

05-31-21 | Canadiens v. Maple Leafs -195 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -195 | 17 h 54 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Maple Leafs over the Montreal Canadiens. The Leafs had hoped to come into Montreal this past Saturday night to wrap up this series in six games, but had those hopes dashed when the Habs won in overtime. That was the second straight overtime contest won by the Canadiens, which has forced this Game 7 in Toronto tonight. Montreal had some fans in the stands on Saturday but it doesn't appear that will be the case tonight, in Toronto. So, key Leafs players, like Auston Matthews (only four points in six games so far), will have to step up tonight without the help of the Ontario faithful. Winning three straight could be a tall order for the Canadiens who are just 14-29 (-23 games on the moneyline) in their last 43 after taking two straight. And Toronto is 58-34 when playing with revenge, including 18-5 their last 23. Take the Maple Leafs to wrap up this series with a resounding victory on Monday night. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

05-31-21 | Padres -160 v. Cubs | Top | 2-7 | Loss | -160 | 2 h 60 m | Show |
At 2:20 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Chicago Cubs. After a very rough month of April that saw him log a 1-3 record with a 5.40 ERA in five starts, Padres RHP Chris Paddack has turned things around in May. In four starts this month, Paddack is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA and sub-1.00 WHIP, and he has 14 strikeouts and four walks in his 19 innings. More important is the fact that the Padres are 4-0 in those starts and they have out-scored the opposition by a very lopsided 42-6 in those games. Paddack would like to end the month in the same manner that he's done throughout and hopefully carry that momentum over to June. The Cubs are playing some very good ball right now, having won six of their last seven games. But six of those seven were against the likes of the Pirates and Reds so San Diego should present a much tougher test this afternoon. Paddack's only other start against the Cubbies was a good one -- six scoreless innings allowing three hits with seven strikeouts and one walk in a win. Take the Padres. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

05-30-21 | Golden Knights v. Avalanche -175 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 17 h 25 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Avalanche over the Vegas Golden Knights. Here is the match-up that almost everyone predicted and many want to see. The Avs and Knights finished the regular season with identical point totals (82) but it was Colorado's final win over Vegas on May 10 which gave it a chance to lock up the division title and Presidents Trophy provided it won its final two regular season games vs. the Kings (which the Avs did, easily). And just to show that their blowout wins at the end of the regular season (6-0 and 5-1) were not a fluke, the Avs then proceeded to dismantle a pretty good Blues team in the first round. In its four game sweep of St. Louis, Colorado out-scored the Blues by an embarrassing 20-7. No such easy time for the Knights, however, as they had to go to seven games to put away a very good Minnesota Wild club. So, Colorado is fresh and Vegas is anything but, after its grueling series which ended less than 48 hours ago with a 6-2 win in Game 7. The Avs are 11-0 at home in their last 11 after two straight wins by two or more goals, while the Knights are a poor 11-15 off a win by more than three goals. I predicted in the preseason that the Avalanche (at 7-1 odds) would win the Stanley Cup (last year, I correctly forecast the Lightning would win), and there's absolutely no reason to back off now, given the Avalanche's 9-game win streak. Take Colorado. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-30-21 | Angels v. A's -145 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -145 | 13 h 9 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Oakland Athletics over the Los Angeles Angels. After coming out of nowhere to go 3-3 with a 3.09 ERA in his first six starts, southpaw Cole Irvin of the Oakland A's has cooled off over his next four starts. He's been hit pretty hard in his last two, which both came against fellow AL West teams, so Irvin is hoping that the third time in a row is a charm as he faces the Angels for the first time in his career. The good news for the 27-year-old today is that the Halos are hitting just .239 against left-handed pitching this season and they are also without Mike Trout as he recovers from a lower leg injury. You might think that Irvin has enjoyed the confines of his pitcher-friendly ballpark in Oakland but that hasn't been the case this season. In six starts at the Coliseum, Irvin has a 4.50 ERA while in four starts elsewhere his ERA is almost a run-and-a-half lower at 3.09. Veteran southpaw Jose Quintana gets the start for the Angels and the A's are 60-24 (+31 games on the moneyline) in their last 84 games vs. LH starters. Take Oakland. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-30-21 | Suns +7 v. Lakers | Top | 100-92 | Win | 100 | 13 h 41 m | Show |
At 3:35 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns + the points over the Los Angeles Lakers. Phoenix finds itself in a 2-1 series hole after dropping Games 2 + 3 to the Lakers by scores of 109-102 and 109-95. The good news for Phoenix is that NBA teams down 2-games-to-1 have gone 16-4 ATS if they lost Game 3 by 14+ points, including 8-0 ATS if their win percentage was not worse than their opponent's. The Suns are 6-2 ATS their last eight off back to back point spread defeats. And NBA road underdogs are 73-54 ATS in the playoffs off two ATS losses if they owned a better W/L percentage than their opponent. Take the Suns. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-30-21 | Padres v. Astros -106 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the San Diego Padres. Two former AL Cy Young winners meet this afternoon in Houston in the third and final game of this inter-league series. The Pads swept the Astros in three games last season, and will go for another 3-0 sweep today. But it won't be easy, given the pitching match-up. Neither the Padres' Blake Snell nor the Astros' Zack Greinke will win a Cy Young this season, but both pitchers can still throw a gem when called upon. Snell has been a bit disappointing, though, in his first season in San Diego, going 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in 44 innings, including a 7.85 ERA and 2.01 WHIP on the road. Meanwhile, Greinke has owned the Padres in his career, with a 13-3 record, 2.44 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 26 starts. And his teams are 161-89 (+44.7 games on the moneyline) in his home career starts, while Snell's teams are 8-16 (minus 17 games on the moneyline) in his last 24 road starts. Take Houston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie |
|||||||
05-29-21 | Jazz v. Grizzlies UNDER 224 | Top | 121-111 | Loss | -109 | 51 h 1 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the 'under' in the game between Memphis and Utah. The Jazz exploded for 141 points on Wednesday, as they won SU/ATS as a 10-point home favorite, 141-129. But off that high-scoring game, we'll look for a much lower-scoring game on Saturday. Indeed, NBA teams off 138+ point games have gone 'under' 90-67 since 1991 when the O/U line was 224+ points. Moreover, the Grizzlies have gone 'under' in 34 of their last 48 home games, and 32-14-2 'under' off a loss by more than 8 points. Meanwhile, the Jazz are 33-16-1 'under' in their road playoff games off a SU win. Take the Grizzlies/Jazz Game 3 'under.' Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-29-21 | Maple Leafs -175 v. Canadiens | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -175 | 17 h 58 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Maple Leafs over the Montreal Canadiens. This series looked like it might be over quickly after the Leafs swept Games 3 and 4 on the road in Montreal. But the Habs came back strong in Game 5 on Thursday, beating Toronto on its home ice in overtime as a huge underdog. So, Game 6 swings back to the Bell Centre which may sound like an advantage for the home team, but not so fast. Unlike the games in the U.S., these Canadian playoff series have been played without fans in attendance. And although there will be fans allowed for the first time tonight, it will be limited to 2500. More importantly, this series in general has not been friendly to the hosts recently. The road team is 4-1 in the last five meetings and Toronto is 5-2 in the last seven here in Montreal. Toronto is also very good in these revenge situations as the Leafs are 11-1 (+8 games on the moneyline) in their last 12 when revenging a one-goal loss vs. an opponent. Take Toronto. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

05-29-21 | Yankees -136 v. Tigers | Top | 1-6 | Loss | -136 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season on Friday when they beat the Yankees and their star pitcher, Gerrit Cole. This afternoon they go from their All Star $324 Million Man on the mound to little known 22-year-old RH Deivi Garcia. The young Dominican may one day be a star like Cole, but for now he is just trying to make a name for himself on the big stage. Garcia has just seven MLB starts under his belt, and this year he's posted an uninspiring 4.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in his lone start. But Garcia has one of the best lineups in the league backing him up and some pretty good mentors in the clubhouse as well, so he has a great shot at getting his first win of 2021 this afternoon. Despite their surprising loss here last night, the Yankees are still 5-1 in the last six meetings with the Tigers and 11-5 in the last 16 here at Comerica Park. New York is also 9-2 (+8 games on the moneyline) in its last 11 games vs. AL Central Opponents. Take the Yankees to bounce back on Saturday afternoon. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-29-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -4 | Top | 95-115 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers minus the points over Denver. The Nuggets won here in Game 3, but are a miserable 43-69 ATS on the road off a point spread win, including 1-10 ATS off back to back SU/ATS wins vs. an opponent off back to back SU/ATS losses. That doesn't bode well for Denver this afternoon. Nor does the fact that #3-seeded teams are a poor 32-56 ATS off an upset playoff win, if they don't trail in the series. Take Portland minus the points. |
|||||||
05-29-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers UNDER 227.5 | Top | 95-115 | Win | 100 | 13 h 27 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Portland/Denver game. The Nuggets have won the past two games by scores of 128-109 and 120-115. But off those two high-scoring wins, we'll look for a lower-scoring affair this afternoon, as teams have gone 'under' the total 65.0% since 1991 if they scored more than 116 in back to back playoff games. Take the 'under.' Good luck, as always....Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-29-21 | Bucks v. Heat +4.5 | Top | 120-103 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 58 m | Show |
At 1:35 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat + the points over the Milwaukee Bucks. Miami is just one loss away from its summer vacation, so this is a 'must win' game for Erik Spoelstra's men. I believe it will rise to the occasion, as Miami is 53-25 ATS off back to back losses, when matched up against an opponent off a straight up win. Additionally, in the first 3 rounds of the NBA playoffs, home underdogs of less than 6 points have cashed 64.9% since 1991 off a SU/ATS home playoff loss. Take Miami. |
|||||||
05-28-21 | Giants +171 v. Dodgers | Top | 8-5 | Win | 171 | 17 h 1 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Los Angeles Dodgers. To say Giants RHP Anthony DeSclafani might want to redeem himself tonight would be a huge understatement. After all, in his last start -- also against these Dodgers -- DeSclafani gave up a career-high 10 runs in 2 2-3 innings. That start was his shortest of the year, and it raised his ERA from 2.03 to 3.54. I look for DeSclafani to bounce back tonight, as his teams are 9-6 (+9.2 games on the moneyline) when installed as a road underdog, priced from +150 to +200. And his ERA in his 7 nighttime starts this season is 1.87, with a 0.80 WHIP. Take the Giants as a big underdog on Friday. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-28-21 | Clippers -2 v. Mavs | Top | 118-108 | Win | 100 | 27 h 10 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over the Dallas Mavericks. We played on Los Angeles in Game 2, and were (obviously) disappointed with the result, as the Mavericks upset L.A. for the 2nd straight game, 127-121, as a 7-point underdog. But that upset win has triggered a powerful 144-67 ATS system of mine which goes against certain teams off upsets that are not favored by 2+ points in their current game. Even worse for the Mavericks: they're 2-13 ATS their last 15, and 33-66-1 ATS their last 100, off back to back underdog ATS wins when they're not getting 6+ points in their current game. And the Clippers are 22-8 ATS on the road off a loss. Finally, NBA favorites off back-to-back SU/ATS losses, and down exactly two games in a Playoff series (i.e., 0-2 or 1-3), are 60-39-3 ATS since 1991. Lay the points with the Clippers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-28-21 | Wild v. Golden Knights -172 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Vegas Golden Knights over the Minnesota Wild. Those who are surprised that this series has gone to a seventh game tonight probably weren't paying close enough attention to the games between these two recently. Few would argue that the Knights are the more talented club, but match-ups in the NHL can often be deceiving (look what happened in the East division's first round of games). Heading into this first-round Playoff match-up of #2 and #3 seeds, the Wild (the #3) had won five of the last six meetings -- all this season. So it really shouldn't be surprising at all that this series comes down to a seventh game on The Strip. In Game 6, the Wild shut out the Knights, 3-0 (their second shutout of the series). And while that was obviously a disappointing outcome for Vegas, it may bode well for tonight, as the Knights are 8-0 in their last eight games following a loss by more than two goals. Vegas is also 7-1 in its last eight games after scoring less than three goals or less in its previous game, and 62-38 when playing with revenge (including 11-0 its last 11 if it lost on the road by 3+ goals in the previous meeting). Take the Knights. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

05-28-21 | Blue Jays -152 v. Indians | Top | 11-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Cleveland Indians. The Jays split a pair of games with the Yanks yesterday with Toronto winning the opening game while NY took the night-cap. That split allowed Toronto to take the three-game series and now the Jays head to Cleveland for a weekend set against a very surprising Indians club. Hyun Jin Ryu joined the Jays before last season and he put up some very good numbers, with the exception of his walk rate, which basically doubled in his first season in Toronto. After walking almost two-and-a-half batters last season, Ryu is back to his normal rate of right around one batter per game. In nine starts covering 53 1/3 innings, the 34-year-old LH is 4-2 with a 2.53 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and a career-best 8.67 K:BB ratio. In his lone career start vs. the Indians, Ryu had a no-decision and allowed two runs in seven innings with eight strikeouts and no walks -- in other words a typical high-quality Ryu outing. Cleveland is 0-5 in its last five home games vs. a LH starter. Take the Jays. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

05-27-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers UNDER 227.5 | Top | 120-115 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 32 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the 'under' in the Denver Nuggets/Portland Trail Blazers game. These two teams come into tonight's game off back to back high-scoring affairs. Portland won Game 1, 123-109, while Denver took Game 2, 128-109. We'll look for a lower-scoring game tonight, as NBA playoff games have gone 'under' the total 60% of the time since 1991 after back to back games that totaled 230+ points. Additionally, the 'under' falls into several of my favorite Totals systems that are 92-58, 177-131, and 136-101 since 1991. Take the 'under.' Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

05-27-21 | Orioles v. White Sox -215 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 5 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the Baltimore Orioles. Through his first six starts of the season, young RHP Dylan Cease looked like he might be the second coming of Lucas Giolito. The 25-year-old went 2-0 with a 2.37 ERA, with 22 hits allowed, 40 strikeouts and 15 walks in just over 30 innings. Those are some serious numbers. But Cease hasn't been able to maintain it through his last three starts, going 0-2 with a 4.80 ERA, while the 2.66 K:BB ratio he enjoyed in those first six morphed into 1.78 (16 strikeouts with nine walks). Perhaps a start against the last place Orioles, who are currently sitting at 17-32 will be just the thing to get Cease out of his funk. And the fact that the Baltimore lineup has never faced the young fireballer probably doesn't hurt either. This game is in his home park -- Guaranteed Rate Field -- and Cease is 1-0 with a 2.10 ERA in five starts there so far this season (vs. 1-1 and 4.58 in four starts elsewhere). The Sox are also a perfect 5-0 in Cease's last five starts vs. teams with a losing record. Take Chicago. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

05-27-21 | Bucks v. Heat +2 | Top | 113-84 | Loss | -112 | 15 h 31 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat + the points over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks made a statement in Games 1 + 2, as they were able to win a nail-biter (109-107) as well as a blowout (132-98). Certainly, the Bucks are out to avenge last year's playoff ouster at the hands of the Heat. But before we dismiss the Heat entirely, we must note that the first two games were at Fiserv Forum, where the Bucks have gone 28-10 this season. It's been a completely different story outside of Wisconsin, as Milwaukee is a pedestrian 20-16 on the road this year (and a wallet-breaking 14-22 ATS). We'll take Miami to bounce back in Game 3, as the Heat are an awesome 53-24-3 ATS off back to back losses, when playing an opponent off a SU win. Even better: NBA underdogs of less than 6 points, off defeats by more than 32 points, have cashed 88% in the Playoffs since 1991. Take Miami. Good luck, a always...Al McMordie. |

05-27-21 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -118 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 1 h 41 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, in Game 2 of the Double-Header, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees will hand the ball to Jordan Montgomery this evening. And the southpaw comes into this game off the best start of his career. In that game, last Friday vs. the White Sox, Montgomery held the Pale Hose hitters to just four hits over seven innings. And he struck out 11, while walking none in a 2-1 victory. The fact that this game is at home under the lights should also benefit him, as his home ERA is 2.52 this season, while his ERA in nighttime starts is 2.12. The Yankees have been dominant as a favorite, priced at -150 or less, as they're 32-13 their last 45. Take New York. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

05-26-21 | Grizzlies v. Jazz -7.5 | Top | 129-141 | Win | 100 | 64 h 46 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Utah Jazz minus the points over Memphis. The Grizzlies struck first in this series with a 112-109 upset win at Salt Lake City, on Sunday night. And that followed an upset post-season win at Golden State in the play-in round. But we'll take Utah to rebound in Game 2 of this series. Indeed, the Jazz are at their best as a favorite when coming off a home loss, and playing with revenge, as they're 33-14 ATS. Even better: #8-seeded underdogs are a nasty 3-18-1 ATS off a playoff win (and back to back wins, overall). And underdogs off back to back upset post-season wins are a wallet-breaking 17-34-2 ATS. Take the Jazz minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-26-21 | Panthers v. Lightning -138 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 27 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Lightning over the Florida Panthers. On paper, this does not appear to be a must-win situation for the Lightning, but fans of this team know better. The Bolts have a history of losing first round series (it happened to them two seasons ago despite winning the Presidents Trophy and posting a franchise-record 128 points). So Game 6 tonight at home is critical for Tampa. For technical support, consider that the home team is 22-11 in the last 33 meetings between these two, while the favorite is 20-6 in the last 26. After playing Florida pretty even through 40 minutes in Game 5, Tampa got careless with penalties in the final period and gave up a power play goal and then one into the empty net for a 4-1 loss. Look for the Bolts to be more disciplined tonight. Tampa is a spectacular 29-5 (+21 games on the money line) in its last 34 after scoring one goal or less in the previous game. Take the Bolts. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

05-26-21 | Padres v. Brewers +123 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 57 m | Show |
At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the San Diego Padres. One thing that's generally true about control pitchers is that when their control starts to go, their walk rate goes up, the K rate goes down, and bad things will happen as a result. The latest case in point might be the Padres' Chris Paddack. Last season we saw Paddack maintain that control with a walk rate that was under 2.0 per nine IP (12 total walks in 59 innings). But this season, Paddack has already allowed 11 free passes in just 36 1/3 innings, resulting in that rate climbing to 2.7. And the strikeout rate has gone down as a result. Paddack has just two wins in his eight starts and he has struggled to go very deep in games. He's been the beneficiary of some incredible run support in his last three but that might come to an end tonight. The Brewers will hand the ball to Eric Lauer, who will be facing his former team tonight. Lauer has a nice 2.81 ERA and 1.18 WHIP so far this season. Despite the win on Tuesday, San Diego is just 1-5 in the last five meetings and 2-4 in the last six at Miller Park. Take the Crew. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
