07-09-18 | Reds v. Indians UNDER 9 | Top | 7-5 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 7 m | Show |
MLB Interleague Total of the Week. My selection is on the 'under' between Cincinnati and Cleveland at 7:10 pm et on Monday. I'll back the 'under' at Progressive Field on Monday night. Anthony DeScaflani will take the ball for the Reds. He has worked at least into the sixth inning in four straight starts. While he did allow nine earned runs over his last two outings, he needed only 88 and 82 pitches to get through those starts. In his lone road start this season he gave up just two earned runs in 5 2/3 innings in Pittsburgh. Mike Clevinger will make his first start since July 1st for the Indians. He has worked at least six innings in six of his last seven starts. I like the fact that he has thrown more than 100 pitches just twice in his last four outings and has had the extended layoff since his last start. Take the under (10*). |

07-06-18 | Belgium +0.5 v. Brazil | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 12 m | Show |
World Cup Quarter-Final Game of the Year. My selection is on Belgium +0.5 goals over Brazil at 2 pm et on Friday. Brazil delivered a dominant 2-0 victory over Mexico to reach this quarter-final match against Belgium, easily erasing the memories of what I would consider a less-than-inspiring group stage. Yes, the Brazilians rolled through that stage of the tournament relatively unscathed, but it never really felt as if they were at the top of their game. They’re going to need to be at that level in order to fend off a game Belgium squad on Friday afternoon. The Belgians got more than they bargained for against Japan in the round of 16 but managed to survive, scoring another three goals in the process. Belgium has looked explosive at times in this tournament. Even in a game they didn’t need, or perhaps even want to win, they still managed to defeat England in their final group stage match. I’m anticipating their best performance of the tournament on Friday as they give Brazil all they can handle and more. Take Belgium +0.5 goals (10*). |

07-04-18 | Mets v. Blue Jays UNDER 9 | Top | 6-3 | Push | 0 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
MLB Interleague Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between New York and Toronto at 7:05 pm et on Wednesday. We saw a wild, high-scoring affair between these two teams last night but I expect a different story to unfold on Wednesday. Corey Oswalt will take the ball for the Mets, making his second big league start. He struggled in his first, but I do look for him to settle down against an inconsistent Blue Jays offense on Wednesday. Note that Oswalt did hold the Cardinals to just two earned runs on two hits over 4 2/3 innings in a relief appearance earlier this season, so he's capable of stepping up. Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman has rounded back into form since returning from injury, allowing only one earned run over 12 frames in his last two starts. Not surprisingly, the 'under' cashed in both of those games. I like the fact that he hasn't been overworked, needing only 81 and 90 pitches to get through those two outings. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
07-03-18 | England v. Colombia +0.5 | Top | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 25 m | Show |
World Cup Game of the Year. My selection is on Colombia +0.5 goals over England at 2 pm et on Tuesday. There's lot of optimism from English faithful right now as giant after giant falls in this tournament. I can't help but feel that a lot of folks are sleeping on Colombia, however. It's easy to forget that the Colombians made plenty of noise in the last World Cup but they remain an overlooked and undervalued commodity here in 2018. England has enjoyed a tremendous run to this point but I do think the Three Lions will regret not leaving it all on the pitch against Belgium in their final group stage match. At the end of the day I'm not sure there's any real advantage to being on one side of the bracket or another. Every match is tough, as the big favorites have learned here in the Round of 16. I'll gladly grab the generous cushion with Colombia in this contest. Take Colombia +0.5 goals (10*). |

06-30-18 | Portugal v. Uruguay UNDER 2 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -123 | 41 h 57 m | Show |
World Cup Total of the Year. My selection is on the ‘under’ between Uruguay and Portugal at 2 pm et on Saturday. There is so much star power in this matchup it’s not surprising that we’re dealing with a juiced-out total shaded to the ‘over’. We’ll go the other way and call for a ‘push’ at worst as I don’t see this one settling at anything other than 0-0, 1-0 or 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes. We saw Iran take away a number of Cristiano Ronaldo’s opportunities in the final group stage match and I’m confident we’ll see Uruguay do the same on Saturday. Save for a penalty kick awarded, Ronaldo was frustrated for much of that night against the Iranians. On the flip side, Portugal is capable of keeping the outstanding duo of Suarez and Cavani under wraps, unlike Uruguay’s previous opponents, perhaps save for Egypt, which held up well until added time in their World Cup opener. While the potential is there for both of these squads to bust out offensively, I just don’t see it happening with so much on the line, and so little separating the two teams. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
06-29-18 | BC v. Edmonton UNDER 55.5 | Top | 22-41 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 8 m | Show |
CFL West Division Total of the Month. My selection is on the ‘under’ between B.C. and Edmonton at 10 pm et on Friday. Edmonton has been involved in a couple of high-scoring affairs to open the season, splitting those two games. I look for the Eskimos defense to step up on Friday night, however, as they welcome the Lions to Commonwealth Stadium. There’s no question the Eskimos defense is better than it has shown in the early going this season. This looks like a fine ‘get right’ game at home against a Lions offense that the jury is still out on, having only played one game – a 22-10 victory over a bad Alouettes squad back in Week 1. On the flip side, I’m confident the Lions defense can hold its own against an Edmonton offense that has yet to find its groove. The Eskimos scored points in bunches against Winnipeg in a wild season-opener but stumbled last week. It’s hard to say which offense we see on Friday night, but I do feel we’re dealing with an inflated total based on the Eskimos high-scoring contests so far. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
06-29-18 | Nationals v. Phillies UNDER 9 | Top | 17-7 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 46 m | Show |
MLB N.L. East Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'under' between Washington and Philadelphia at 7:05 pm et on Friday. When these two teams met last week they combined to score 36 runs in three games. I expect a different story to unfold on Friday night, however, as two young starting pitchers go head-to-head. Erick Fedde will take the ball for the Nationals. He has worked at least into the sixth inning in five of his last six trips to the hill. I like the fact that Fedde has thrown fewer than 100 pitches in six of his first seven big league starts. His ground ball to fly ball ratio has been outstanding over his last few outings. The 'under' has cashed in each of Fedde's last four starts. Nick Pivetta will counter for Philadelphia. He hasn't been working deep into ball games lately but should take some positives from his most recent start against the same Nats' he'll face on Friday night. In that outing he gave up just two earned runs in five innings and needed only 87 pitches to get through that start. Pivetta has been solid at home this season, posting a 3.04 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. His home starts are totaling just shy of 7.5 runs per contest. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
06-26-18 | Padres v. Rangers UNDER 10 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 23 h 29 m | Show |
MLB Interleague Total of the Week. My selection is on the 'under' between San Diego and Texas at 8:05 pm et on Tuesday. The Padres aren't scoring with any consistency right now and while the Rangers have been on a bit of a tear at the dish, I believe they'll be held in check by San Diego starter Tyson Ross. Ross has been effective on the road this season, posting a 3.13 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 54 2/3 innings of work. He enters this outing having worked at least into the sixth inning in nine of his last 10 starts overall. Ross is coming off one of his best starts of the season, having allowed just one earned run over seven innings against the Giants, albeit in a losing effort. Austin Bibens-Dirkx has made three starts this season, working into the seventh inning in two of those. He needed only 81 pitches to go 6 2/3 innings against the Royals last time out. I look for him to build off of that performance against a slumping Padres lineup here. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
06-24-18 | Cardinals v. Brewers -120 | Top | 8-2 | Loss | -120 | 17 h 21 m | Show |
MLB N.L. Central Game of the Month. My selection is on Milwaukee over St. Louis at 2:10 pm et on Sunday. The Cardinals got one back from the Brewers yesterday but I look for Milwaukee to bounce back on Sunday afternoon. Luke Weaver will take the ball for the Cards. He has struggled this season, going 3-6 with a 4.69 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. He's been even worse on the road, posting an ERA north of five and a 1.63 WHIP. In Weaver's lone start against the Brewers this season he came out on the wrong end of an 8-3 loss. Jhoulys Chacin will counter for Milwaukee. He has been rolling along lately, working at least into the sixth inning in five straight starts. Last time out he needed only 74 pitches to get through 6 1/3 innings, allowing only one earned run in the process. Chacin has posted a 2.31 ERA at home this season, with the Brewers winning five of his six starts at Miller Park. Take Milwaukee (10*). |
|||||||
06-22-18 | Orioles v. Braves UNDER 8.5 | Top | 10-7 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 5 m | Show |
MLB Total of the Week. My selection is on the 'under' between Baltimore and Atlanta at 7:10 pm et on Friday. I'll back the 'under' in Atlanta on Friday night as two teams that have been struggling to score with consistency lately go head-to-head in an interleague matchup. Baltimore will hand the ball to Alex Cobb. He missed all of spring training so the first part of the regular season was essentially his time to work out the kinks. He certainly struggled as a result. However, he has rebounded lately, working at least six innings in three of his last four starts. Note that he has also thrown fewer than 100 pitches in six of his last seven outings. The 'under' is 3-1 in Cobb's last four starts. Sean Newcomb will counter for Atlanta. He has worked at least into the sixth inning in four straight starts. Last time out, Newcomb threw six innings of two-hit shutout ball. He checks in having allowed two earned runs or less in seven of his last nine outings. Newcomb has been sharp here at home, posting a 3.07 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
06-21-18 | Saskatchewan +2.5 v. Ottawa | Top | 17-40 | Loss | -106 | 47 h 56 m | Show |
CFL Non-Division Game of the Month. My selection is on Saskatchewan plus the points over Ottawa at 7:30 pm et on Thursday. The Riders are off to a perfect start this season, defending their home field in an impressive 27-19 win over Toronto last week. They'll hit the road to face another East Division opponent this week and I look for a similar result. Note that the Riders are now 10-5 SU over their last 15 games going back to last season. They have a pretty solid track record against the Redblacks, having won four of five meetings since the start of the 2016 season. They won both games in Ottawa last season by a combined 49-37 score and have reeled off three straight victories in the nation's capital. I simply feel that Saskatchewan has more upside in this early stage of the 2018 season. Take Saskatchewan (10*). |
|||||||
06-16-18 | Hamilton v. Calgary UNDER 55 | Top | 14-28 | Win | 100 | 22 h 51 m | Show |
CFL Total of the Week. My selection is on the 'under' between Hamilton and Calgary at 7 pm et on Saturday. The Stampeders are certainly familiar with this Ti-Cats offense run by QB Jeremiah Masoli. Last year, Calgary took both meetings by a combined 88-26 score. Masoli didn't throw a single touchdown while tossing a pair of interceptions in those two contests. Obviously, the Ti-Cats QB will be feeling some heat here with Johnny Manziel waiting in the wings. I'm not sure Manziel's presence on the bench is a good thing for this Ti-Cats offense. Calgary is of course one of the league's elite teams and a serious Grey Cup contender. However, it's the opening week of the season. I'm just not sure we'll see the Stamps come out all guns blazing in their opener. Note that the 'under' has gone 16-5-1 in the Stamps last 22 season-openers. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
06-15-18 | Rays v. Yankees UNDER 9 | Top | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 21 h 27 m | Show |
MLB A.L. East Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Tampa Bay and New York at 7:05 pm et on Friday. The Yankees were one of the best 'over' bets in baseball for the first two months of the season but that has certainly turned around lately as they've reeled off nine straight 'under' results. I look for that trend to continue on Friday night in the Bronx. Tampa Bay will hand the ball to Nathan Eovaldi. He tossed six innings of no-hit ball in his return from Tommy John surgery and since then has worked five innings in back-to-back outings against the Nationals and Mariners. While we're dealing with a small sample size it is worth noting that his strikeout numbers are up while his walk totals are down. After giving up three home runs in his last two starts he will definitely need to do a better job of commanding the strike zone in order to keep the Yankees All-Star lineup in the ballpark on Friday. Jonathan Loaisiga will make his first big league start for the Yankees. The 23-year old hasn't even started a game at the Triple-A level so it's difficult to say how he'll adapt to facing big league hitters. The good news is he faces a lower-tier opponent in the Rays. It's also worth noting that Loiaisiga has posted an impressive 58:4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in the minors this season. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
06-13-18 | Cubs v. Brewers UNDER 9 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 102 | 17 h 9 m | Show |
MLB N.L. Central Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'under' between Chicago and Milwaukee at 2:10 pm et on Wednesday. Both of these teams have been trending to the 'under' this season and I don't see anything changing as they meet in Wednesday's series finale at Miller Park. Mike Montgomery is off to a terrific start for the Cubs this season, having worked at least into the sixth inning in each of his first three starts, allowing a grand total of two earned runs in 17 2/3 innings of work. He has needed just 76, 76 and 95 pitches to get through those three outings so he has been relatively efficient as well. The Brewers haven't been scoring with much consistency over the last couple of weeks so Montgomery may be catching them at the right time here. Jhoulys Chacin wil counter for Milwaukee. He's been sharp here at home this season, posting a 2.79 ERA in 29 innings of work. His five home starts have averaged a total of just 7.6 runs scored. Chacin brings solid form to the table having worked at least into the sixth inning in six of his last seven starts. He hasn't thrown more than 100 pitches in a start since April 20th so his arm should be in fine shape for this one. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
06-12-18 | Nationals v. Yankees UNDER 9 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
MLB Interleague Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Washington and New York at 7:05 pm et on Tuesday. The Yankees were the best 'over' bet in baseball for the better part of the first two months of the season but now they check into this series riding a six-game 'under' streak. I look for that trend to continue on Tuesday as the Nationals send Tanner Roark to the hill against CC Sabathia. Roark has been extremely consistent this season, working at least six innings in nine of his last 10 starts and giving up three earned runs or less in seven of those starts. Last time out he allowed only two earned runs over six innings against the Rays. The Nats' gave Roark 11 runs in that game but generally haven't provided him a great deal of run support, putting up four runs or less in eight of his last 10 starts overall. Sabathia bounced back from a rough stretch, allowing only two earned runs on three hits over seven innings against the Blue Jays last time out. He has been fairly consistent at home this season, posting a 3.07 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 29 1/3 innings here at Yankee Stadium. His starts have generally been high-scoring but but here we're dealing with a fairly high posted total as well. Take the under (10*). |

06-11-18 | Indians v. White Sox UNDER 9 | Top | 4-0 | Win | 109 | 24 h 40 m | Show |
A.L. Central Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'under' between Cleveland and Chicago at 8:10 pm et on Monday. Cleveland exploded for nine runs in yesterday's victory in Detroit, matching its highest offensive output since putting up nine runs in a game on May 31st. Note that the Indians had scored just 20 runs in total over their previous six contests. Meanwhile, the White Sox posted an impressive series win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park but scored only eight runs in the process. They've plated a grand total of 29 runs over their last nine games overall. Carlos Carrasco will take the ball for the Indians. He bounced back nicely following back-to-back shaky outings, allowing just one earned run over seven innings last time out against Milwaukee. Note that he has worked at least into the sixth inning in six of his last seven starts. His road starts are averaging just seven total runs this season. The 'under' has cashed in each of Carrasco's last four starts against the White Sox and he's given up only four earned runs in 29 1/3 innings of work. Lucas Giolito will counter for Chicago. He was rocked for seven earned runs and lasted only 1 1/3 innings against the Orioles back on May 24th. However, since then he has worked six innings in back-to-back outings - last time out allowing just two earned runs in Minnesota. The 'under' has gone 3-1-1 in Giolito's last five starts overall. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
06-10-18 | Braves v. Dodgers UNDER 7.5 | Top | 2-7 | Loss | -119 | 19 h 59 m | Show |
MLB Non-Division Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Atlanta and Los Angeles at 4:10 pm et on Sunday. I'll back the 'under' in the series finale between the Braves and Dodgers on Sunday afternoon. Sean Newcomb will take the ball for Atlanta. He is off to an incredible start this season, having gone 7-1 with a 2.49 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Newcomb has worked at least six innings in eight of his last nine starts and has given up two earned runs or less in six of his last seven outings. He's been getting a ton of run support on the road, well north of six runs per start, but I'm not expecting the Braves bats to do much damage on Sunday afternoon. That's because the Dodgers will turn to Ross Stripling, who has been pitching exceptionally well. Stripling has posted a 4-1 record to go along with a 1.52 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. We won with the 'under' in his most recent start as he pitched five shutout innings, allowing just four hits and no walks while striking out seven against the Pirates. The 'under' is 5-1 in Stripling's last six trips to the hill. Take the under (10*). |

06-08-18 | Warriors v. Cavs UNDER 216 | Top | 108-85 | Win | 100 | 36 h 35 m | Show |
NBA Finals Total of the Year. My selection is on the ‘under’ between Golden State and Cleveland at 9 pm et on Friday. The Warriors have had four previous series-clinching opportunities in these playoffs, going 3-1 straight-up in those games. For our purposes with this play, it’s worth noting that those games have averaged just 198.3 total points, with only one of those games surpassing the total we’re working with on Friday night. The Cavs played about as well as we could have expected in Game 3 of this series but could still only muster 102 points in a losing effort. They know they’re not coming back to win this series at this point, and I certainly don’t think they’re interested in getting involved in a track meet with the Warriors on Friday night. Meanwhile, after three games, and with Andre Iguodala back in the rotation, the Warriors should have a pretty good handle on how to contain the Cavs less-than-complex offense at this point. It’s really up to Golden State how it wants this game to play out and based on its track record in these playoffs, I look for it to lock down the Cleveland offense as it stares down an opportunity to wrap up this series rather than drag it out another few days. Steph Curry isn’t going to go 0-for-9 from three-point range again but I’m also not sure we’ll see Kevin Durant go off the way he did in Game 3. Cleveland made every effort to push the pace early in Game 3 and got off to a fantastic start in the first two minutes, but it wasn’t able to keep up that frantic tempo and certainly wasn’t effective getting back on defense while doing so. As I mentioned, the Cavs know they aren’t going to beat the Warriors at their own game. The last time the Warriors wrapped up an NBA title here on this floor in Cleveland back in 2016, they did so with a 105-97 victory in Game 6. I expect to see a similar story unfold on Friday night. Take the under (10*). |

06-06-18 | Warriors -4.5 v. Cavs | Top | 110-102 | Win | 100 | 59 h 46 m | Show |
NBA Finals Game of the Year. My selection is on Golden State minus the points over Cleveland at 9 pm et on Wednesday. We were always going to see the Cavs’ resilience level in Game 2 of this series on Sunday night. After the way the series opener played out, the Cavs were either going to show up with their best effort of the postseason or they were going to look down-trodden and very much like a team that is resigned to the fact that they cannot, and will not be able to win this series. We certainly saw the latter on Sunday night. Save for a couple of brief bursts early on, the Cavs appeared to be a beaten squad, both emotionally and physically. While Lebron James has appeared visibly frustrated for much of these playoffs, it certainly looked like all of the joy was zapped from his being after Game 1’s overtime loss. So now the series shifts to Cleveland and while the Cavs faithful would like to remain hopeful and ultimately help lift Lebron and company back into this series, I just don’t see it happening. The Cavs are being given respect still from the betting marketplace - otherwise we would be looking at a line approaching double-digits in favor of the Warriors, even on the road. I’m just not sure that respect is due at this point. The Warriors have looked disjointed at times in these playoffs – disinterested even. That comes with the territory as they aim for their third NBA title in the last four years. However, after toying with the Cavs in Game 2, I believe they can sense another championship in their grasp and I don’t think they’ll have any interest in messing around with the Cavs any longer than they absolutely have to. It’s time to move on from this “rivalry”. Take Golden State (10*). |

06-06-18 | A's v. Rangers UNDER 10.5 | Top | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
A.L. West Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Oakland and Texas at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday. We saw a relatively high-scoring affair in the series opener between these A.L. West rivals last night. That game got off to a slow start before the Rangers offense took over. Look for a different story to unfold tonight. Daniel Mengden will take the ball for the A's. He has quietly been one of the best starters in the American League so far this season, going 6-4 with a 2.91 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. Mengden has worked at least seven innings in each of his last three starts and has gone at least six innings in five consecutive outings. Over that stretch his highest pitch count was just 102. Note that he has worked at least into the sixth inning in three of four career starts against the Rangers and tossed seven innings of four-hit shutout ball here in Arlington last year. Bartolo Colon will counter for Texas. He's been alternating good and bad starts lately and is certainly coming off a disappointing outing against the Angels in which he lasted just three innings. I do look for him to bounce back here, noting that Colon has given up just four earned runs and worked at least six innings in both starts against the A's since the start of last season. Take the under (10*). |

06-01-18 | Phillies v. Giants +103 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 103 | 13 h 48 m | Show |
MLB Game of the Week. My selection is on San Francisco over Philadelphia at 10:15 pm et on Friday. The Phillies spoiled Clayton Kershaw's return in Los Angeles yesterday but remain just 6-7 over their last 13 games, not winning consecutive games a single time over that stretch. Nick Pivetta will take the ball for the Phillies on Friday. Pivetta's overall numbers are fine but he's worked beyond the fifth inning just twice in his last six starts. It's also worth noting that he owns a less than impressive 5.82 ERA in four road starts this season. Mind you most of the damage was done in an ugly one-inning outing in Washington. The Phils are just 3-3 in Pivetta's last six starts overall. Chris Stratton will counter for San Francisco. The Giants have gone an impressive 8-3 in his 11 starts so far this season. Like Pivetta, Stratton hasn't had much success working deep into ball games with any consistency. I do like the fact that he has thrown fewer than 90 pitches in each of his last three starts, however. With Andrew McCutchen and Evan Longoria finally starting to heat up, I believe it's a good time to 'buy low' with the Giants as they return home following a disappointing road trip. Remember, they've gone 14-10 at home this season. Take San Francisco (10*). |

06-01-18 | Mercury v. Lynx -8 | Top | 95-85 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
WNBA Blowout Game of the Month. My selection is on Minnesota minus the points over Phoenix at 8 pm et on Friday. The Lynx are off to a miserable 0-5 ATS start this season and have won just two of those five games straight-up. Keep in mind, the Lynx didn't drop their sixth game ATS until July 8th last season. I'm still a believer in this team and I'm confident we'll see them bounce back in a big way at home on Friday night. It is of course worth noting that Minnesota has been on the road for the last three games so it's not as if the Lynx have been falling flat at home. And this should be a favorable matchup for Minnesota as it went 3-0-1 ATS against the Mercury last season. In fact, the Lynx are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 meetings with the Mercury. Phoenix isn't off to a banner start to 2018 either, having lost three games in a row entering this one. I simply feel that Minnesota has a lot more upside right now and back at home I expect to see a much more focused effort. Take Minnesota (10*). |

05-30-18 | Nationals v. Orioles +1.5 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 2 m | Show |
MLB Run-Line Game of the Month. My selection is on Baltimore +1.5 runs over Washington at 7:05 pm et on Wednesday. The presence of Max Scherzer on the mound has the Nationals installed as massive favorites in Baltimore on Wednesday night. But here's the thing; Scherzer has really been laboring lately, needing 121 and 114 pitches to get through his last two outings, allowing six earned runs in 13 innings of work. Going back to the start of 2011 he has made six starts here in Baltimore. His teams have won just two of those contests, and neither victory came by more than a single run. In other words, that's a perfect 6-0 mark for the O's grabbing +1.5 runs against Scherzer over the last seven plus seasons. David Hess will counter for Baltimore. The rookie has sandwiched two fine outings against the Rays around a rocky performance against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. It's not as if the Nats' have been tearing the cover off the baseball lately. I expect to see Hess hold his own in this matchup. Take Baltimore +1.5 runs (10*). |

05-26-18 | Rockets v. Warriors -11.5 | Top | 86-115 | Win | 100 | 14 h 17 m | Show |
NBA Western Conference Finals Game of the Year. My selection is on Golden State minus the points over Houston at 9:05 pm et on Saturday. The Warriors couldn't have played much worse in Game 5 of this series on Thursday night, as the Rockets rode a wave of emotion to a narrow three-point win. The fact that Golden State was in that game right until the end was telling in my opinion. I expect to see a much sharper performance from the Warriors on Saturday. While we're being asked to lay a steep price for sure, I do believe it's warranted, especially considering the Rockets will be without Chris Paul after he re-aggravated a hamstring injury in Game 5. Despite being up 3-2 in this series you have to think Houston is feeling a sense of doubt as it heads to Oakland - not a good feeling when you're looking to close out the defending champs. It's worth noting that the after the Cavs win and cover last night, the SU winner has now gone a perfect 11-0 ATS in this round. I certainly don't expect the Warriors to go down without a fight and feel confident they'll force a Game 7 in Houston. Look for that SU/ATS combo trend to continue here. Take Golden State (10*). |

05-23-18 | Cavs v. Celtics +1 | Top | 83-96 | Win | 100 | 24 h 31 m | Show |
NBA Conference Finals Game of the Year. My selection is on Boston over Cleveland at 8:35 pm et on Wednesday. This has been the classic homer series so far and I don't see that trend reversing on Wednesday night in Boston. Everyone is quick to write off the Celtics after back-to-back losses in Cleveland, just as they were quick to write off the Cavs following the first two games in Boston. There are those suddenly questioning Celtics head coach Brad Stevens' decisions and his ability to make the necessary adjustments against Lebron James and company. I'm not buying into any of it. The Celtics have been a completely different team on their home floor in these playoffs, and really all season long. Boston is an impressive 36-14 SU at home this season while the Cavs are just a .500 team on the road. I like the fact that the Celtics didn't fold the tent after a miserable first quarter on Monday in Cleveland, outscoring the Cavs in each of the next three quarters in an eventual nine-point loss. I don't believe they'll be intimidated or crumble under the pressure in Game 5. Take Boston (10*). |

05-23-18 | Indians v. Cubs -165 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -165 | 23 h 36 m | Show |
MLB Big Chalk Blowout Game of the Month. My selection is on Chicago over Cleveland at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday. I'll lay the lofty price to back the Cubs in a big bounce-back spot on Wednesday night at Wrigley Field. The Indians took the opener of this series in blowout fashion last night. Don't count on a repeat performance tonight, however. Rookie Adam Plutko will take the ball for the Tribe - making his second start of the season. Last time out, he was impressive, allowing just three earned runs on six hits and no walks in 7 1/3 innings against the Blue Jays. That was back on May 3rd. He did get tagged for three home runs in that game. Chicago will turn to its ace, Jon Lester. He has at least worked into the sixth inning in each of his last six starts, needing to throw more than 100 pitches only twice over that stretch. Note that the Cubs are 7-2 in his nine starts so far this season. He'll certainly be up for this World Series rematch against the Indians and I'm confident he'll pitch well and get the run support he needs to earn a 'W'. Take Chicago (10*). |

05-21-18 | Marlins v. Mets UNDER 8.5 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 22 h 26 m | Show |
N.L. East Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Miami and New York at 7:10 pm et on Monday. I really like the way the 'under' sets up in the opener of this series on Monday night in New York. The Marlins were involved in a high-scoring affair in yesterday's series finale against the Braves but I look for a different story to unfold in this one. Rookie Elieser Hernandez will take the ball for the Mets on Monday. After making two relief appearances he made his first career start last week against the Dodgers, and pitched well, allowing just one earned run on three hits over five innings of work. He needed only 75 pitches to get through those five innings. Jason Vargas will counter for New York. He has gotten off to a disastrous start this season, allowing 19 earned runs on 26 hits in 12 1/3 innings, spanning three starts. Keep in mind, Vargas was an 18-game winner with a 4.16 ERA as a member of the Royals last year. I see this as a solid bounce-back spot for the veteran left-hander. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
05-18-18 | Yankees v. Royals UNDER 9.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 50 m | Show |
MLB American League Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between New York and Kansas City at 8:15 pm et on Friday. Perhaps these two clubs' reputations precede them as we're dealing with a lofty total in the opener of this series on Friday night in Kansas City. CC Sabathia will take the ball for the Yankees. He struggled last time out, allowing four earned run on nine hits in just four innings of work. Keep in mind, that start came against the Boston Red Sox. He'll be taking a step down in class against the Royals here. In two starts against Kansas City last year, Sabathia allowed only three earned runs over 12 2/3 innings. The 'under' has cashed in five of his last six trips to the hill against the Royals. Jakob Junis will counter for Kansas City. He has been quietly effective this season, despite pitching for one of the worst teams in baseball. With that being said, Junis is fresh off a rocky outing, giving up four earned runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings. That start came on the road against the Indians, a tough challenge to be sure. He'll face another tough challenge against the Yankees here but I'm confident he'll hang in there. Note that Junis has at least worked into the sixth inning in five straight and seven of eight starts overall this season. The Royals are giving up just 3.25 runs per contest in his four starts at Kaufman Stadium. Take the under (10*). |

05-18-18 | Jets +107 v. Golden Knights | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 4 m | Show |
NHL Western Conference Final Game of the Year. My selection is on Winnipeg over Vegas at 8 pm et on Friday. The Jets have proven to be a resilient bunch this season, even if they haven’t had to face a great deal of adversity in these playoffs (this is the first time they’ve trailed in a series). With that in mind, I look for them to avoid the 3-1 hole on Friday night in Vegas. Winnipeg simply ran into a red hot Marc-Andre Fleury in Game 3 on Wednesday night. He turned aside 33 of 35 shots and is certainly capable of turning in a similar performance on Friday. With that being said, I look for the Jets to do a better job of getting traffic in front of him, while also getting off to a much better start to the game. The Jets are well aware of the importance of starting fast on home ice – something the Knights certainly did in Game 3 with Jonathan Marchessault scoring in the game’s opening minute – and they’ll be cognizant of that on Friday night. Both of these teams own tremendous home ice edges, particularly in these playoffs where the atmospheres have been raucous in nature to say the least, but the Jets faced a similar challenge in Nashville last round, and ultimately came away with three road victories, including two critical ones in Games 5 and 7. It’s worth noting that this marks the first time the Jets have lost back-to-back games in these playoffs. They’re battle-tested and I’m confident they’ll even up this series on Friday night. Take Winnipeg (10*). |

05-17-18 | Lightning +101 v. Capitals | Top | 4-2 | Win | 101 | 24 h 34 m | Show |
NHL Eastern Conference Final Game of the Year. My selection is on Tampa Bay over Washington at 8:10 pm et on Thursday. We won with the Lightning in Game 3 of this series on Tuesday night and I won't hesitate to go back to the well with the same play in Game 4 on Thursday. I picked the Lightning to win this series at the outset and while things certainly didn't go their way in Games 1 and 2 at home, they weren't about to fold the tent. This is a supremely talented, well-coached team and one that has shown plenty of resilience over the years. I still feel it's only a matter of time before Jon Cooper leads this team to a Stanley Cup, and it could very well still happen here in 2018. But in order to get to that point, the Bolts need to get another win on Thursday and even this series up heading back to Tampa. The Capitals showed some cracks in their armor in Game 3, perhaps most notably between the pipes where Braden Holtby was far from at his best. Look for Tampa Bay to go on the attack again on Thursday night. Take Tampa Bay (10*). |

05-15-18 | Cavs v. Celtics OVER 202.5 | Top | 94-107 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 15 m | Show |
NBA Conference Finals Total of the Year. My selection is on the ‘over’ between Cleveland and Boston at 8:30 pm et on Tuesday. The Cavs were essentially run out of the building in Game 1 of this series in Boston on Sunday afternoon (we won with the Celtics), scoring only 35 first half points en route to a 108-83 beatdown at the hands of the Celtics. While I’m not sure the Cavs make the complete turnaround and win Game 2, I am confident we’ll see them put forth a much stronger offensive showing. Lebron James certainly said all of the right things after that Game 1 blowout and I believed much of what he said in that he’s not one bit concerned by one loss. Look for a big game out of Lebron on Tuesday night as he takes advantage of what I consider an average Celtics defense. On the flip side, Boston continues to impress, getting offensive contributions from everywhere on the floor. Despite getting only 17 points combined from Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart, the C’s still managed to easily eclipse the 100-point mark on Sunday. There’s little reason to expect much of a letdown here. Brad Stevens continues to prove himself as one of the league’s best coaches and I’m confident he’ll make a few adjustments to keep the offense flowing on Tuesday night. We’re dealing with a lower posted total than we saw in the series opener, but I believe it’s the wrong move. Expect a competitive, relatively high-scoring affair on Tuesday. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
05-12-18 | Golden Knights v. Jets UNDER 6 | Top | 2-4 | Push | 0 | 29 h 4 m | Show |
NHL Playoff Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'under' between Winnipeg and Vegas at 7:10 pm et on Saturday. While most are expecting this to be a high-scoring series, I don't see it playing out that way. Both teams are loaded with speed and high skill but they also boast two outstanding goaltenders that are absolutely at the top of their game right now. Marc-Andre Fleury has to be considered the front-runner for Conn Smythe through the first two rounds of the playoffs. He's enjoying a record-setting run between the pipes and I don't see him suffering any sort of letdown against the high-flying Jets. While Pekka Rinne got most of the press leading up to the much-anticipated showdown between the Jets and Predators, it was Connor Hellebuyck that stole the show. He shut the Preds down in Game 7 and I expect plenty of carry-over from that performance in the opener of the West Final. The 'over' went 2-1 in three regular season meetings between these two teams this season but both 'over' results came December 1st and earlier. The most recent matchup was played in February, and that game totaled only four goals in regulation time with Vegas ultimately winning 3-2 in overtime. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
05-09-18 | Diamondbacks +111 v. Dodgers | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 25 h 21 m | Show |
MLB N.L. West Game of the Month. My selection is on Arizona over Los Angeles at 10:10 pm et on Wednesday. I believe Patrick Corbin is already an elite starting pitcher, yet he's still not being priced in that category. Of course, helping our cause backing him here is the fact that Corbin came out on the wrong end of a 5-2 game at home against the Dodgers, and Alex Wood, just last week (we won with the 'under' in that game). Corbin has worked at least six innings in four straight and five of seven starts this season. He has allowed only six earned runs in 27 2/3 innings of work over his last four outings. Wood has been inconsistent to start the campaign for the Dodgers. He needed 96 pitches to get through just five innings against the D'Backs last week. Note that the Dodgers have won just one of his three home starts this season, scoring a grand total of 10 runs in those three games. The D'Backs have been the significantly better team so far in 2018 and I believe the long-term results will bear that out as well. Take Arizona (10*). |
|||||||
05-08-18 | Pelicans v. Warriors OVER 226.5 | Top | 104-113 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 38 m | Show |
NBA Second Round Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'over' between New Orleans and Golden State at 10:35 pm et on Tuesday. The Pelicans quite simply couldn't knock down their shots in Game 4 of this series and the Warriors rolled to an easy victory as a result (we won with Golden State and the 'under'). I won't hesitate to switch gears and back the 'over' in this elimination game on Tuesday night. There's reason for the Pelicans to be confident heading into this one as they've scored at least 115 points in five of eight meetings between these two teams this season. The Warriors came out with the right level of intensity in Game 4 on Sunday, but that was coming off a 19-point drubbing just two nights earlier. Here, I'm not sure they manhandle the Pelicans right out of the gate in quite the same way. On the flip side, there's little reason to think that New Orleans can slow an offensive juggernaut like the Warriors on the road. Golden State has scored 120, 123 and 121 points in its last three home games against the Pelicans. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
05-08-18 | Angels +125 v. Rockies | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 31 m | Show |
MLB Interleague Game of the Week. My selection is on Los Angeles over Colorado at 8:40 pm et on Tuesday. The Angels have had the Rockies number, taking nine straight meetings in this series. The Rockies do come into this game riding a five-game winning streak - with all of those wins coming on their most recent road trip. But Los Angeles is hot as well, having won five of its last six contests. I give the Angels a slight edge on the mound in this one as well with Andrew Heaney going up against Jon Gray. Gray has really struggled in two home starts this season, posting an ERA north of seven. While we did win with him in his most recent start against the Cubs in Chicago, I look for him to struggle at Coors Field again here. Take Los Angeles (10*). |
|||||||
05-05-18 | Jets v. Predators UNDER 5.5 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -104 | 25 h 34 m | Show |
NHL Second Round Total of the Year. My selection is on the ‘under’ between Winnipeg and Nashville at 9:30 pm et on Saturday. We saw plenty of offense in the first few games of this series, particularly in Games 2 and 3 but things settled down considerably in Game 4 on Thursday night as the Predators ‘won ugly’ and evened the series up at two games apiece. I don’t think we’ll see a return to the wild, back-and-forth style of game on Saturday night, with so much on the line for both teams. The Jets know they can ill afford to be forced to the brink of elimination against a team as good as the Preds. Winning back-to-back games against Nashville, with all of the pressure squarely on them, would be a tall order to be sure. Meanwhile, Nashville needs a victory here to avoid heading to Winnipeg to face a must-win situation in front of that hostile crowd at MTS Centre. I’m anticipating a slugfest between what has to be two weary opponents at this point. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
05-05-18 | Blue Jays v. Rays UNDER 8 | Top | 3-5 | Push | 0 | 21 h 30 m | Show |
MLB A.L. East Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Toronto and Tampa Bay at 6:10 pm et on Saturday. I'll back the 'under' in St. Petersburg on Saturday evening. Aaron Sanchez will take the ball for the Jays. He has worked at least six innings in each of his last five starts, and has worked into the sixth inning in all six of his starts this season. He wasn't at his best on the road against the Twins last time out but the Jays still managed to win that game so it shouldn't knock his confidence heading into this outing. The 'under' is a perfect 5-0 in his five career starts against the Rays. Jake Faria will counter for Tampa Bay. He has settled in nicely to the Rays rotation, most recently tossing eight shutout innings against the Tigers. He has given up one earned run or less in three of his last four trips to the hill. Note that the 'under' has gone 3-1 over those four outings. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
05-02-18 | Golden Knights v. Sharks -127 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 25 h 2 m | Show |
NHL Second Round Game of the Year. My selection is on San Jose over Las Vegas at 10:10 pm et on Wednesday. The Sharks didn't play their best game, getting off to a miserable start in an eventual overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of this series on Monday night. I do expect them to bounce back and even up this series at two games apiece on Wednesday, however. It's not a must-win situation for the Sharks, but it's close. Vegas has owned one of the strongest home ice advantages in the NHL this season so the Sharks chances of running the table the rest of the series, with two of three games played in Las Vegas is highly unlikely. San Jose is a well-coached, experienced team with plenty of talent. The Sharks have been stride for stride with the Knights since a miserable showing in Game 1. This has the makings of a seven game series. I'll back the Sharks in this spot. Take San Jose (10*). |
|||||||
04-28-18 | Bucks v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 96-112 | Win | 100 | 34 h 23 m | Show |
NBA First Round Game of the Year. My selection is on Boston minus the points over Milwaukee at 8:05 pm et on Saturday. We won with the Bucks in Game 6 of this series on Thursday night as they ultimately pulled away for a convincing win, sending the series back to Boston for a seventh and deciding game on Saturday. I won't hesitate to switch gears and back the Celtics in this one, however, as it's now Brad Stevens turn to make the necessary adjustments and Boston's opportunity to defend its home floor, as it has throughout this series, and advance to the second round. Home court advantage is of course what the Celtics fought for all season, and it has certainly paid off in this series, with the home side winning all six contests. I think the fact that things have tightened up considerably does favor the Celtics here. We saw the Bucks struggle to score in Game 5 in Boston, managing only 87 points and I expect to see a similar story unfold here. Even in Game 6, it took a huge effort from Giannis Antetokounmpo with 31 points and 14 rebounds to secure a Bucks victory. In that must-win situation for Milwaukee, Boston showed plenty of fight, pulling with a bucket with just over seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Bucks ultimately had the greater will to win and prevailed, but here I believe we'll see that role belong to the Celtics. Expect Boston to bring its best effort of the series on Saturday night. Take Boston (10*). |

04-23-18 | Bruins -120 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -120 | 23 h 49 m | Show |
NHL Game of the Week. My selection is on Boston over Toronto at 7:10 pm et on Monday. The Bruins couldn't finish off the Leafs in Game 5 of this series on Saturday night but I look for them to bounce back and close things out on Monday night in Toronto. The Leafs were the hungrier team on Saturday night - plain and simple. However, the Bruins made a good challenge late in that contest and we should see some carry-over from that third period in this one. Boston did welcome Patrice Bergeron back to the lineup on Saturday. They didn't have his services the last time they played in Toronto, but still managed to deliver a victory. Take Boston (10*). |
|||||||
04-19-18 | Blue Jays v. Yankees UNDER 9 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 107 | 22 h 49 m | Show |
MLB A.L. East Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Toronto and New York at 6:35 pm et on Thursday. I'll back the 'under' in the Bronx on Thursday evening. The Blue Jays are coming off an offensively explosion against the Royals yesterday, scoring 15 runs in their fourth consecutive victory. Here, they face a tougher challenge, however, as they go up against CC Sabathia. The big left-hander will be making just his third start of the season and he hasn't exactly been dominant. But I do expect him to perform well on Thursday night, noting that he allowed just one earned run in five innings of work against the Jays earlier this season. Aaron Sanchez will counter for Toronto. Like Sabathia, he's capable of pitching better than he has so far this season, but I look for a solid outing in a big spot here. Note that Sanchez is coming off his best start of the campaign, allowing just three hits and one earned run over eight innings against the Orioles. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
04-16-18 | Astros v. Mariners +114 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 114 | 25 h 7 m | Show |
MLB A.L. West Game of the Month. My selection is on Seattle over Houston at 10:10 pm et on Monday. I'll back the Mariners as they host the defending World Series champion Astros on Monday night. Dallas Keuchel is off to a terrible start for the Astros this season, having allowed at least as many hits as innings pitched while walking nine and striking out only 13 in three starts to date. He'll get it sorted out but I'm not sure it happens here as the Astros head to Seattle following a night game on Sunday. James Paxton will counter for Seattle. He was roughed up in his first start of the season against the Indians but has certainly bounced back since, allowing just four earned runs while striking out 17 and walking only two in 11 innings over his last two starts - both on the road. He'll face a tough challenge here but I'm confident he'll pitch well. The Mariners may not be in the same class as the Astros but on this night, I look for them to make a bit of a statement. Take Seattle (10*). |
|||||||
04-16-18 | Heat v. 76ers OVER 215 | Top | 113-103 | Win | 100 | 23 h 21 m | Show |
NBA First Round Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'over' between Miami and Philadelphia at 8:05 pm et on Monday. I really like the way this total sets up on Monday night. We saw 233 total points in the series opener on Saturday with the 76ers facing little resistance en route to a 130-point performance. For their part, the Heat looked various shades of awful, struggling to knock down shots for much of the game. Yet, they still managed to score 103 points. I certainly expect to see the Heat improve offensively on Monday night but I'm not convinced they can do anything to slow down Ben Simmons and the 76ers offense. Philadelphia won't get center Joel Embiid back for this game and that actually works well for our purposes with the 'over'. The scoring will die down a bit as this series progresses, especially if the 76ers have to adjust to bringing Embiid back in the lineup but that won't happen on Monday. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
04-15-18 | Jets v. Wild -105 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 22 h 51 m | Show |
My selection is on Minnesota over Winnipeg at 7:10 pm et on Sunday. It's pretty close to a must-win situation for the Wild on Sunday evening as they host the Jets in an 0-2 hole. Winnipeg has certainly been the better team in the first two games of this series but I'm confident Minnesota can and will bounce back on home ice, where it has held a tremendous edge not only this season, but for years. The Jets flat out embarrassed the Wild in Friday's contest, and things got heated in the latter stages of the third period. While I'm certainly not convinced the Wild can still win this series, I also don't expect them to get swept. Look for Minnesota to put forth its best effort of the series and grab a victory on Sunday night on home ice. Take Minnesota (10*). |
|||||||
04-14-18 | Phillies v. Rays -123 | Top | 9-4 | Loss | -123 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
MLB Interleague Game of the Week. My selection is on Tampa Bay over Philadelphia at 6:10 pm et on Saturday. We won with the Phillies last night but I won't hesitate to switch gears and back the Rays on Saturday as they hand the ball to their ace Chris Archer. The Phillies will turn to free agent acquisition Jake Arrieta who has struggled since joining the club. There's a reason teams were slow to jump at the opportunity to sign Arrieta. I expect even the light-hitting Rays to find a groove against Arrieta on Saturday. Keep in mind, the lowly Rays did come into this series off a four-game series split against the White Sox in Chicago earlier in the week. Chris Archer has faced a tough slate in the early going this year, going up against the Red Sox, Yankees and White Sox. He's held his own and I'm confident he can shine in his first career outing against the Phillies. Take Tampa Bay (10*). |
|||||||
04-12-18 | White Sox v. Twins UNDER 8.5 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 23 h 21 m | Show |
MLB A.L. Central Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Chicago and Minnesota at 8:10 pm et on Thursday. The Twins are coming off a wild victory over the Astros on Wednesday afternoon but I expect to see a return to 'normal' on Thursday night at Target Field. The White Sox got off to a fine start at the plate this season but have certainly cooled off since. They're going to need a better performance from Lucas Giolito on the hill on Thursday after he struggled in his first two outings. The Sox do have high hopes for the young righty and I believe he can handle this matchup with the Twins. Jose Berrios has been making a name for himself in the Minnesota rotation and has posted a 3.29 ERA and 0.73 WHIP in 13 2/3 innings of work this season. He has also recorded a stellar 13:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in the early going. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
04-10-18 | Yankees v. Red Sox UNDER 7.5 | Top | 1-14 | Loss | -120 | 23 h 40 m | Show |
A.L. East Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between New York and Boston at 7:10 pm et on Tuesday. I simply believe this total has been set a full run too high as two of the best pitchers in the American League, or should I say all of baseball, go head-to-head on Tuesday night. Luis Severino is off to a terrific start for the Yankees. He was nearly untouchable against the Rays last time out and while he'll face a tougher challenge here at Fenway Park, he will benefit from Xander Bogaert's absence. Severino has allowed just six hits and two earned runs over eight innings of work through two starts. Red Sox ace Chris Sale had his start pushed back to Tuesday night. He's been even better than Severino, having given up just six hits and one earned run while striking out 15 in 11 innings pitched. The Yankees obviously have a tough lineup to navigate but Sale should be up to the challenge. Take the under (10*). |

04-09-18 | Pelicans v. Clippers +6.5 | Top | 113-100 | Loss | -107 | 26 h 48 m | Show |
NBA Western Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Los Angeles plus the points over New Orleans at 10:35 pm et on Monday. The Pelicans are coming off a huge upset win in Oakland on Saturday night, beating the Warriors to improve their playoff standing. I look for them to stumble on Monday, however, as they head to Los Angeles to take on the Clippers. L.A. has dropped back-to-back games and four of its last five contests overall. The Clips are out of the playoff hunt but should relish playing the role of spoiler on Monday night. We're being given a considerable cushion with the home underdog in this spot and I believe they have a shot at the outright victory. Take Los Angeles (10*). |

04-08-18 | Tigers v. White Sox -136 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -136 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
A.L. Central Game of the Month. My selection is on Chicago over Detroit at 2:10 pm et on Sunday. While I don't often like to back teams looking to avoid series sweeps, I do feel the White Sox are in good position to do so on Sunday afternoon. Chicago will hand the ball to Reynaldo Lopez, who showed some inconsistency but did battle and generally pitched well in his debut against the Blue Jays last week. Over six innings he allowed only two hits, striking out six and walking two. Mike Fiers will counter for Detroit. This will be his first start of the season following a shaky spring. After a quiet day at the dish yesterday, I'm confident the White Sox bats will come alive in this one. Note that they had scored 16 runs in their previous three games entering yesterday's contest. Take Chicago (10*). |

04-05-18 | Penguins v. Blue Jackets -127 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -127 | 13 h 52 m | Show |
NHL Eastern Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Columbus over Pittsburgh at 7:05 pm et on Thursday. These two teams are deadlocked with identical records in the Metropolitan Division and headed for a first round matchup in the postseason. I don't think there's any question the Blue Jackets are playing better hockey right now, and have been for weeks. I also simply feel that the Jackets might just want it a little more as the regular season heads into its final days. The Penguins have had a tough time keeping the puck out of their own net, not just lately, but over the course of the entire season. The Blue Jackets are poised to take advantage having scored 21 goals in taking three of their last four games overall. Columbus is listed as the favorite for a reason in this one. Take Columbus (10*). |

04-04-18 | Mariners v. Giants -120 | Top | 1-10 | Win | 100 | 22 h 16 m | Show |
MLB Interleague Game of the Month. My selection is on San Francisco over Seattle at 7:15 pm et on Wednesday. Felix Hernandez surprised many, turning in a stellar first start of the season following an injury-plagued Spring Training. I expect him to come back to Earth on Wednesday, however, as he goes up against a Giants lineup that finally showed some signs of life in their home opener yesterday, even if they did fall by a 6-4 score. Giants starter Johnny Cueto was even sharper than King Felix in his first outing of the season, tossing seven shutout innings in a 1-0 victory over the Dodgers. Cueto didn't earn the 'w' in that contest, however, so he'll be motivated to pick up his first victory of the season here. The Mariners are off to a fine start this season but I'm not convinced they can keep it up. We're dealing with a fairly short price here to back a highly-motivated Giants club. Take San Francisco (10*). |

03-31-18 | Kansas v. Villanova -5 | Top | 79-95 | Win | 100 | 24 h 1 m | Show |
Final Four Game of the Year. My selection is on Villanova minus the points over Kansas at 8:45 pm et on Saturday. Villanova was my pick to cut down the nets in April at the start of this tournament and I'm certainly going to stick with that prediction now that the Wildcats have reached the Final Four. The Wildcats were certainly challenged in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight last weekend, but passed both tests. Of course, Kansas was in a similar boat, including an instant classic against Duke last Sunday afternoon. But Villanova is favored for a reason in this one. Kansas is certainly a formidable opponent, after all the Jayhawks are a one-seed. I'm just not convinced the Jayhawks can hang within arm's reach of the Wildcats for 40 minutes on Saturday night. The Wildcats have the look of a championship squad once again under Jay Wright, and I look for them to post a convincing win on their way to Monday's title game. Take Villanova (10*). |

03-31-18 | Indians -104 v. Mariners | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 12 m | Show |
MLB Game of the Week. My selection is on Cleveland over Seattle at 4:10 pm et on Saturday. I like the Indians to get back at the Mariners after dropping the opener of this series on Thursday night. That contest really could have gone either way as both starters pitched well, as expected. We should see another well pitched game on Saturday afternoon but I give the Indians to edge with Carlos Carrasco going up against James Paxton. Carrasco certainly gets overshadowed by ace Corey Kluber in this Tribe rotation but he's certainly one of the elite starters in the game today. I do have a lot of respect for James Paxton but I'm just not sure he'll get enough support from his offense on Saturday afternoon. I feel the Indians are the superior team in this matchup and I'm confident they'll even up this series heading into a rubber match on Sunday afternoon. Take Cleveland (10*). |

03-27-18 | Bruins +120 v. Jets | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 60 m | Show |
NHL Underdog Game of the Month. My selection is on Boston over Winnipeg at 8:05 pm et on Tuesday. While the Bruins are getting healthier, welcoming back Patrice Bergeron over the weekend, the Jets continue to get more banged-up with the playoffs approaching. Off a hard-fought, physical 5-4 shootout win over the Predators on Sunday night, I look for Winnipeg to suffer a letdown in this contest on Tuesday night. The Bruins have their sights set on the Lightning for top spot in the Atlantic Division, and as Tampa Bay continues to struggle the door is wide open for the B's to make their move and potentially avoid a tough opening round matchup with the Maple Leafs. A win won't come easy in Winnipeg, but the price is right to back the Bruins in this spot. Take Boston (10*). |
|||||||
03-25-18 | Blazers v. Thunder OVER 216 | Top | 108-105 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 5 m | Show |
NBA Western Conference Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'over' between Portland and Oklahoma City at 7:05 pm et on Sunday. I'll back the 'over' in Oklahoma City on Sunday night. Neither team is coming off a tremendous offensive effort, but I expect both to respond positively in this key late season Western Conference showdown. Both teams have certainly been putting up big points in recent weeks, and throughout the season. Yet, the last time they met back on March 3rd we saw only 208 total points in an eight-point Blazers victory. That's a big reason why this total hasn't gotten to an unreasonable level. Prior to being held to just 100 points last time out, the Blazers had scored at least 111 points in six of their last seven games. Meanwhile, the Thunder have scored just 100 and 105 points in their last two contests, but had put up 119, 121 and 132 points in their previous three. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
03-24-18 | Florida State v. Michigan -3.5 | Top | 54-58 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
Elite Eight Game of the Year. My selection is on Michigan minus the points over Florida State at 8:45 pm et on Saturday. I'll lay the points with Big Blue on Saturday night. I had Michigan as a Final Four team at the outset of this tournament and I'm not about to change my opinion now. I believe the Wolverines catch a favorable draw here thanks to the Seminoles upset win on Thursday. While I do feel the Seminoles can keep pace for a while in this game, it will be Michigan's outside shooting that takes over as the 'Noles wear down in the second half. I actually had this number close to -6/-6.5 but the betting marketplace is fairly high on Florida State after the upset over Gonzaga. The Bulldogs were vulnerable. The Wolverines are not. Take Michigan (10*). |
|||||||
03-22-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Nevada -1 | Top | 69-68 | Loss | -106 | 22 h 18 m | Show |
Sweet 16 Game of the Year. My selection is on Nevada over Loyola-Chicago at 7:05 pm et on Thursday. Loyola-Chicago has taken its rightful place as this year's Cinderella team, advancing to the Sweet 16 to face another upstart in Nevada on Thursday night. I simply feel that the Wolf Pack are the superior team in this matchup and having cashed with them in their stunning come-from-behind win over Cincinnati last Sunday, I won't hesitate to go back to the well with them again here. I certainly don't believe we're going to see Nevada give the Ramblers as much open floor space as Loyola's first two opponents in this tournament did. The Wolf Pack are a character team that has certainly taken their cue from their head coach, whose spirited post-game antics have gained national attention. Loyola will get plenty of support from casual bettors here, but I believe it will be Nevada that keeps on dancing at the end of the night on Thursday. Take Nevada (10*). |
|||||||
03-20-18 | Rockets v. Blazers +4.5 | Top | 115-111 | Win | 100 | 26 h 42 m | Show |
NBA Western Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Portland plus the points over Houston at 10:35 pm et on Tuesday. Solid value with the underdog Blazers on Tuesday night as they'll undoubtedly be up for a showdown against the Rockets. Much has been made of Houston's winning ways but Portland has been just as hot lately, reeling off 13 consecutive victories. I don't expect the Blazers to back down in the face of a serious challenge on Tuesday. Houston survived a wild one in Minnesota on Sunday night, ultimately winning by a 129-120 score. James Harden was banged-up in that contest but stayed in and guided the first place Rockets to yet another win. I simply feel that things will get tougher on Tuesday night and I'm not sure Houston should be laying as many points as it is given it will be playing its third game in four nights on the road and undoubtedly peeking ahead to a five-game homestand that waits on deck. Take Portland (10*). |
|||||||
03-19-18 | Kings v. Wild -135 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -135 | 24 h 53 m | Show |
NHL Western Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Minnesota over Los Angeles at 8:05 pm et on Monday. The Wild had been sputtering before reeling off back-to-back road wins in Las Vegas and Arizona. Now they return home to host a Kings squad that has issues of its own, having dropped four of its last seven games at a very inopportune time with the playoffs looming. Los Angeles is fresh off a 3-0 home loss to the Devils on Saturday and now comes this tough four-game road trip. As much as the Kings would like to get it started on a winning note, that will be a tall task against a Wild squad that has been terrific at home, going 24-6-6 on the season. I believe we're being asked to lay a very reasonable price with the superior squad in this matchup. Take Minnesota (10*). |
|||||||
03-18-18 | Nevada +8 v. Cincinnati | Top | 75-73 | Win | 100 | 21 h 24 m | Show |
Second Round Game of the Year. My selection is on Nevada plus the points over Cincinnati at 6:10 pm et on Sunday. I'll grab the points with the Wolf Pack as they take on two-seed Cincinnati on Sunday evening. The Wolf Pack didn't bring their 'A' game against Texas on Friday but still managed to rally from a 14-point deficit to ultimately prevail in overtime. It was a gutsy win that I believe will have some carry-over effect into Sunday's matchup with the Bearcats. Cincinnati has cruised over the last month or so, last losing a game against Wichita State on February 18th. The Bearcats really weren't challenged by Georgia State in the opening round but they will be here. The oddsmakers are giving us a generous helping of points with the Wolf Pack, and I'll gladly take it in a game that could go either way. Take Nevada (10*). |
|||||||
03-16-18 | Providence +2.5 v. Texas A&M | Top | 69-73 | Loss | -114 | 24 h 9 m | Show |
Opening Round Game of the Year. My selection is on Providence plus the points over Texas A&M at 12:15 pm et on Friday. Providence is in the NCAA Tournament for the fifth straight year and I look for the Friars to make the most of their appearance. Credit the Friars for their Big East Tournament run last week, upsetting a number one seed in this tournament, Xavier before falling to another top seed, Villanova, in the final. I like the way Providence has battled all season long and believe this is a team capable of turning some heads in this tourney. Meanwhile, Texas A&M is back in the tournament after missing out last year and I simply feel the Aggies inconsistency over the course of the season will resurface on Friday afternoon. Note that the Aggies are just 11-14 SU all-time in the NCAA Tournament. While that has little bearing on the outcome of Friday’s contest, let’s consider the fact that this team started the campaign with a stellar 11-1 mark before going 9-11 the rest of the way. They probably deserved a better fate in the SEC Tournament as they fell to Alabama on a last second basket but a loss is a loss and I don’t believe they carry a great deal of positive momentum in this matchup. Take Providence (10*). |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Rockets v. Raptors OVER 220 | Top | 105-108 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
NBA Total of the Week. My selection is on the 'over' between Houston and Toronto at 7:35 pm et on Friday. The Rockets are coming off a relatively low-scoring game, by their own standards, in Milwaukee on Wednesday night but I expect a return to form on Friday as they square off against the East-leading Raptors in Toronto. The Raptors aren't going to back down from the challenge at hand, as they come in playing some of their best basketball of the season. The last time they faced a real step-up game on their home floor they fell against the Warriors so you can be sure they'll be up for this one. I don't think we'll see the Raps shy away from a potential track meet here either. Unlike previous years, Toronto has the scoring depth to keep up with a team like the Rockets. This has the potential to be one of the most entertaining games of the season and we'll grab a piece of the 'over' at what I would consider a reasonable number. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
03-03-18 | Celtics v. Rockets OVER 216.5 | Top | 120-123 | Win | 100 | 24 h 57 m | Show |
NBA Non-Conference Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'over' between Boston and Houston at 8:35 pm et on Saturday. I'll back the 'over' in Houston on Saturday night. The Rockets are somewhat surprisingly coming off back-to-back relatively low-scoring affairs. I look for a different story to unfold on Saturday, however. The Celtics put up north of 130 points in their last game - a rout of the Hornets at home. Having won four games in a row, I don't believe they'll miss a beat here. Keep in mind, the Rockets have won a whopping 14 games in a row so they're obviously the 'hunted' at this point. They're also brimming with confidence and certainly won't back down from the Celtics. Look for this to be a highly-competitive matchup, with the final score soaring 'over' the total. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
02-28-18 | Pelicans v. Spurs UNDER 219.5 | Top | 121-116 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 14 m | Show |
NBA Total of the Week. My selection is on the 'under' between New Orleans and San Antonio at 8:35 pm et on Wednesday. The Pelicans have been absolutely rolling offensively over the course of their six-game winning streak but I do expect them to face some resistance against the Spurs on Wednesday night. That's not to say they can't hang tough in this game, or even keep their winning streak going, but I think we're going to see a different pace of play than the breakneck one they've settled into lately. The Spurs are coming off a big blowout win in Cleveland on Sunday afternoon, snapping a four-game losing streak in the process. Note that they had been struggling mightily defensively, but that performance against the Cavs, allowing only 94 points, should give them a bit of a shot in the arm. Look for a tightly-contested affair all the way on Wednesday night. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
02-27-18 | Kings +12 v. Blazers | Top | 99-116 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
NBA Underdog Game of the Month. My selection is on Sacramento plus the points over Portland at 10:05 pm et on Tuesday. The Kings essentially played one bad quarter at home against the T'Wolves last night, and ultimately lost by 18 points (we missed with Sacramento in that contest). That won't discourage me from going back to the well with the Kings on Tuesday, however, as we're getting even more value as they head out on the road to face the Blazers. Portland comes in off three consecutive wins, which all started with a big home victory over the Warriors. In other words, there's a good chance the Blazers look past the lowly Kings here, especially considering they'll host a much better team, the aforementioned T'Wolves on Thursday night. Off four straight losses (only one of those came by more than nine points), look for the Kings to show some pride and hang tough in the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday. Take Sacramento (10*). |
|||||||
02-22-18 | Avalanche +118 v. Oilers | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 25 h 49 m | Show |
NHL Western Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Colorado over Edmonton at 9:05 pm et on Thursday. Wins have been few and far between for the Oilers lately but they did managed to get past the Avs in Colorado last weekend. I expect the Avs to answer back on Thursday night in Edmonton. Colorado lit it up on the power play on Tuesday night in Vancouver, skating to a 5-4 overtime win with the winning goal coming off the stick of Nathan MacKinnon, who just returned to the lineup after an extended absence last weekend. I see the Avs as a team with the potential to go on another run as they head down the stretch. Meanwhile, the Oilers are likely going to be 'sellers' before the trade deadline next Monday. We can only expect Edmonton to continue to find ways to lose as the season goes on. Take Colorado (10*). |
|||||||
02-22-18 | Wizards v. Cavs OVER 220.5 | Top | 110-103 | Loss | -107 | 25 h 36 m | Show |
NBA Eastern Conference Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'over' between Washington and Cleveland at 8:05 pm et on Thursday. I'll back the 'over' in Cleveland on Thursday night. Both of these teams went into the All-Star break firing on all cylinders offensively. It remains to be seen whether the break costs them their positive momentum but I'm willing to bet both pick up right where they left off and we see a track meet on Thursday night. The Wizards have actually been pushing the pace even more since losing John Wall to injury with Bradley Beal really stepping up in his absence. On the flip side, the Cavs have looked like a completely different team since their flurry of trade deadline deals. Count on an entertaining affair on Thursday. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
02-21-18 | Flames v. Golden Knights UNDER 6 | Top | 3-7 | Loss | -125 | 15 h 31 m | Show |
NHL Western Conference Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Calgary and Vegas at 10:35 pm et on Wednesday. I'll back the 'under' in Las Vegas on Wednesday night as the Golden Knights aim to bounce back against the Flames, who are eager to get back on track themselves. The Knights have been involved in more low-scoring affairs than high scoring ones of late, and are fresh off a 2-0 home loss to the Ducks on Monday. This will be the sixth game of a seven game homestand that wraps up on Friday night against the Canucks. Note that on this homestand they've also been held to just one goal against the Flyers. Their other three contests came against non-playoff foes in the Blackhawks, Oilers and Canadiens and I take those results, in which they scored a whopping 15 goals, with a grain of salt. The Flames suffered a 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins on Monday afternoon and have been held to three goals or less in regulation time in eight of their last nine games. In other words, breakout performances offensively have been few and far between in recent weeks. With goaltender Mike Smith still on the shelf they'll need to continue to keep things tight defensively and I don't think they'll be interested in getting involved in a run and gun affair against the opportunistic Knights. Take the under (10*). |

02-20-18 | Lightning -105 v. Capitals | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show |
NHL Eastern Conference Game of the Year. My selection is on Tampa Bay over Washington at 7:05 pm et on Tuesday. Terrific spot for the Lightning to bounce back from a home loss to the Devils on Saturday night. Tampa Bay hasn't been playing its best hockey lately by any stretch of the imagination and has certainly struggled on the road of late, but this is a big step up spot against one of the teams that is gunning for it at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The Capitals have been up and down with three losses in their last five contests but did notch a victory in Buffalo yesterday afternoon. I simply feel the Bolts are the superior team in this matchup and given the scheduling situation should skate to a victory in the nation's capital on Tuesday night. Take Tampa Bay (10*). |
|||||||
02-18-18 | Penguins -106 v. Blue Jackets | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show |
NHL Metropolitan Game of the Month. My selection is on Pittsburgh over Columbus at 6:05 pm et on Sunday. The Pens are in a tough back-to-back spot here after a draining back-and-forth affair against the Leafs on home ice last night but I don't believe they'll be any worse for wear. As I noted in my analysis of yesterday's play on the Pens, this team is highly-motivated right now and playing arguably its best hockey of the season. And they'll certainly be up for this showdown with the rival Blue Jackets, who are having a tough time getting out of their own way at the moment. We successfully faded the Jackets on Friday as they fell to the Flyers in overtime. I won't hesitate to go back to the well in this spot. Take Pittsburgh (10*). |
|||||||
02-12-18 | Lightning +100 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 51 m | Show |
NHL Atlantic Division Game of the Month. My selection is on Tampa Bay over Toronto at 7:05 pm et on Monday. Both of these teams enter this game playing well, with the Lightning having won back-to-back games and the Leafs a perfect 3-0 on their current homestand. I'm just not sure the Leafs are at the same level as the Bolts right now. Toronto didn't face any resistance on Saturday night at home against Ottawa. I don't believe that serves the Leafs well as they step up in class against Tampa Bay. The Lightning just closed out a 2-0 homestand, scoring nine goals in the process. Still with a bad taste in their mouths from an ugly blowout loss in Edmonton one week ago, I look for the Bolts to put forth a tremendous effort on Monday night in Toronto. Take Tampa Bay (10*). |
|||||||
02-11-18 | Penguins v. Blues UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-1 | Win | 101 | 5 h 44 m | Show |
NHL TV Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Pittsburgh and St. Louis at 12:05 pm et on Sunday. I'll back the 'under' in St. Louis on Sunday afternoon. The Blues have scored 11 goals in their last two games after being held to only four in their previous three contests. Here they'll be facing a Pens squad that should be highly-motivated to bounce back after suffering two losses in their last three games. The 'over' has cashed in five of Pittsburgh's last six games overall. The Blues have been involved in three straight 'over' results following five consecutive 'unders'. In this very early Sunday start I expect goals to come at a premium. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
02-07-18 | Bruins v. Rangers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 6-1 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
NHL Eastern Conference Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Boston and New York at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday. The case can be made for the Bruins as the best team in hockey right now and they're coming off another win last night, 3-2 over the Red Wings in Detroit - the B's third consecutive victory. Meanwhile, the Rangers continue to struggle in what is quickly becoming a lost season. We can expect a sell-off from New York prior to the trade deadline but as many have pointed out, it's tough for this team to tank for a high draft pick when they still have one of the game's best goaltenders in Henrik Lundqvist. He's expected to get the start in goal tonight while the B's will turn to backup Anton Khudobin. That doesn't represent a considerable downgrade for Boston, however, as Khudobin has gone 10-3-4 with a 2.36 GAA and .924 save percentage this season. I expect the Rangers to give the Bruins a run in this one and that should lend itself to a relatively low-scoring affair. Take the under (10*). |

02-07-18 | Rockets v. Heat +5 | Top | 109-101 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
NBA Non-Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Miami plus the points over Houston at 7:35 pm et on Wednesday. The Rockets are playing exceptionally well right now and check in to tonight's game in Miami a perfect 3-0 on their current road trip. The problem here is, they're in a back-to-back spot following a game that drew a little more energy out of them than they probably would have liked last night in Brooklyn. Meanwhile, the Heat have lost four straight games although three of those losses came on the road. They were stunned by the Magic in a 111-109 home loss on Monday which should only provide them with a little extra motivation, not that they need it, against an elite opponent on Wednesday. While Miami has a day off tomorrow before another home game on Friday against Milwaukee, the Rockets will have an eye on a return home where they'll host the Nuggets and Mavs on Friday and Sunday, respectively. While I would like to be grabbing a couple more points with the Heat in this spot, I still feel they warrant a step-up play in an underdog role given the situation. Take Miami (10*). |
|||||||
02-02-18 | Sharks v. Blue Jackets UNDER 5.5 | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 23 h 51 m | Show |
NHL Non-Conference Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between San Jose and Columbus at 7:05 pm et on Friday. The Sharks are missing something right now and that something is the heart and soul of the franchise, Joe Thornton. San Jose simply can't get out of its own way and its going to find the sledding tough on a Friday night in Columbus. The Blue Jackets have fallen on hard times as well and I don't think they're going to climb out of it by getting involved in a fire fight with the Sharks. Instead look for the Jackets to focus on slugging it out, and relying on goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky to bail them out if needed. This total is already juiced-out to the 'under' and that's warranted in my opinion. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
01-23-18 | Jets v. Sharks -117 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -117 | 26 h 2 m | Show |
NHL Western Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on San Jose over Winnipeg at 10:35 pm et on Tuesday. The Sharks are rolling along right now and I like them to keep it going against the upstart Jets on Tuesday night. Winnipeg has won back-to-back games, but there is one glaring issue as it scored just two goals in regulation time in those two contests. Note that the Jets check in just 11-10-6 on the road this season. Meanwhile, the Sharks are 14-6-2 on home ice and have won five of their last six games overall. They've scored at least four goals in three of their last six contests. The home side is a perfect 2-0 in this series this season, outscoring the opposition by a combined 8-1 margin. The Sharks have won four of the last five meetings overall. Take San Jose (10*). |

01-21-18 | Jaguars v. Patriots -7 | Top | 20-24 | Loss | -118 | 19 h 31 m | Show |
NFL Conference Championship Game of the Year. My selection is on New England minus the points over Jacksonville at 3:05 pm et on Sunday. I’ll lay the points with the Patriots on Sunday as they host the upstart Jaguars with the AFC Championship on the line. The Jags are getting plenty of support following last week’s impressive wire-to-wire victory over the Steelers. That performance made it easy to forget their ugly 10-3 home win over Buffalo on Wild Card weekend. While there’s a lot to like about the Jags, I believe their run comes to an end here. The Patriots weren’t really tested in last week’s rout of the Titans. This is a team that certainly didn’t need any more extra motivation but it got just that when the story came out regarding dissension in the ranks between Brady, Bellichick and Kraft. While the Jags have the type of defense that should give the Pats some headaches, I simply feel that New England has too many weapons to contend with for four quarters. And on the other side of the football, you can count on New England to come up with a gameplan to take away Jacksonville’s motor, RB Leonard Fournette, and force QB Blake Bortles to beat them. That’s not a story that ends well as far as I’m concerned. As nice as it would be to see some new blood representing the AFC in the Super Bowl, I don’t see it this year. Take New England (10*). |

01-21-18 | Jaguars v. Patriots UNDER 46 | Top | 20-24 | Win | 100 | 18 h 29 m | Show |
NFL Conference Championship Total of the Year. My selection is on the ‘under’ between Jacksonville and New England at 3:05 pm et on Sunday. I’ll back the ‘under’ on Sunday afternoon in Foxborough. Both of these teams lit up the scoreboard in their respective Divisional Round games last weekend. The Jaguars were buoyed by a number of Steelers turnovers and took advantage of excellent field position throughout the game, an advantage they’re not likely to enjoy against the Pats this Sunday. Meanwhile, New England faced no resistance against a middle of the road Titans defense last Saturday night. Jacksonville’s defense is undoubtedly on another level by comparison. That’s not to say they’ll shut down the Pats vaunted offense by any means, but we don’t really need them to with the total set where it is. While the New England offense gets most of the credit, we’ve seen the defense come up big time and time again and I expect no different here as they take away Jacksonville’s best offensive weapon, RB Leonard Fournette, and force QB Blake Bortles into obvious passing situations. I believe there’s a good chance we see the winning side score in the 24-27 point range here, which puts us in good position to cash our ticket. Take the under (10*). |

01-20-18 | Rangers v. Avalanche UNDER 6 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
NHL Non-Conference Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between New York and Colorado at 3:05 pm et on Saturday. The Rangers are coming off four consecutive 'over' results but I look for that to turn around on Saturday afternoon as they take on the red hot Avalanche in Colorado. While New York has scored nine goals in its last two contests it has to realize that is a pace it can't keep up. Note that the Rangers had scored only nine goals combined in their previous five games. The Avalanche have won an incredible eight games in a row and they're doing it thanks to some clutch offense and excellent defensive play. Here, I do expect them to face some resistance, however, noting that the Rangers have held them to two goals or less in four of the last five meetings in this series. Colorado hasn't allowed more than three goals in a game since December 16th, which speaks to its consistency in recent weeks. Take the under (10*). |

01-16-18 | Blues +130 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 2-1 | Win | 130 | 23 h 51 m | Show |
NHL Underdog Game of the Month. My selection is on St. Louis over Toronto at 7:05 pm et on Tuesday. Both of these teams are coming off of their 'bye weeks' but I believe it's the Blues that are better-positioned to bounce back and snap their losing skid. St. Louis has lost three games in a row and has been idle since January 9th. Note that the Blues have continued to score over that stretch, finding the back of the net 10 times and they check in a respectable 11-8-3 on the road this season. Meanwhile, Toronto hasn't posted a regulation time victory since December 28th in Arizona. The Leafs haven't managed to top three goals over the course of their current 2-5 slide. I believe we'll see them trying to do a little too much here at home off the break. Take St. Louis (10*). |

01-14-18 | Saints +5 v. Vikings | Top | 24-29 | Push | 0 | 28 h 41 m | Show |
NFL Divisional Round Game of the Year. My selection is on New Orleans plus the points over Minnesota at 4:40 pm et on Sunday. We cashed our Wild Card Game of the Year with the Panthers plus the points over the Saints last Sunday but I won't hesitate to switch gears and back New Orleans as it hits the road to face the Vikings this week. The Vikings are obviously highly-motivated as they try to become the first team to ever appear in a Super Bowl on their home field. I'm not convinced they get there, however, and believe they'll be in for a serious battle against the Saints on Sunday. QB Case Keenum had a tremendous regular season but the playoffs are a completely different animal. The Saints opportunistic defense is brimming with confidence right now and will undoubtedly throw everything it has at Keenum. While I do have a lot of respect for the Vikings on both sides of the football, I simply feel that they're overvalued, due in large part to their double-digit win over the Saints way back in Week 1. Take New Orleans (10*). |

01-14-18 | Jaguars v. Steelers OVER 41 | Top | 45-42 | Win | 100 | 24 h 12 m | Show |
NFL Divisional Round Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'over' between Jacksonville and Pittsburgh at 1:05 pm et on Sunday. I'll back the 'over' at Heinz Field on Sunday afternoon. The Jags certainly didn't put their best foot forward offensively against the Bills last Sunday, QB Blake Bortles in particular. However, they still managed to win the game, and now they have a shot at accomplishing something truly great in Pittsburgh. I look for a much better showing by Bortles and the offense in general. Keep in mind, RB Leonard Fournette ran wild against the Steelers back in early October, gaining 181 yards and punching in a pair of touchdowns on the ground. Ben Roethlisberger threw five interceptions against the Jags defense on that afternoon, but I expect a much different story to unfold this time around. Big Ben will have all-world WR Antonio Brown back at his disposal, and with Martavis Bryant stepping up down the stretch as well, this aerial attack is truly loaded. We're dealing with a low total, but I don't believe it's warranted. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
01-10-18 | Thunder v. Wolves UNDER 211.5 | Top | 88-104 | Win | 100 | 12 h 14 m | Show |
NBA Western Conference Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Oklahoma City and Minnesota at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday. We won with the 'over' in the T'Wolves last game - a rout of the Cavaliers on Monday night. I expect a different story to unfold on Wednesday, as they welcome the Thunder to town. Lost in that blowout win by Minnesota was its exceptional defensive effort against not just Lebron James (he was held to 10 points) but the entire Cavs offense. Yes, Cleveland did end up reaching 99 points but that was thanks only to a big fourth quarter after the T'Wolves had already solidified a positive result. Here, I'm anticipating a more tightly-contested affair, and that should lend itself to tougher defense throughout. The Thunder are known for their offense, but here they're going to need to tighten things up defensively in order to bring an end to a two-game slide. After giving up 114 and 117 points in back-to-back flat performances against Phoenix and Portland I expect them to do just that on Wednesday night. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
01-07-18 | Panthers +7 v. Saints | Top | 26-31 | Win | 100 | 21 h 31 m | Show |
NFL Wild Card Game of the Year. My selection is on Carolina plus the points over New Orleans at 4:40 pm et on Sunday. The Panthers are a trendy sleeper pick in the NFC entering these playoffs, and rightfully so in my opinion. I like the way this matchup sets up for them, even off an ugly showing in Atlanta last Sunday. Of course, prior to that, Carolina had reeled off three straight wins, scoring 84 points in the process. While the Panthers may not have the start power outside of Cam Newton on offense, this unit is capable of doing some damage. The Saints failed to end their regular season on a high note, falling by a 31-24 score in Tampa last Sunday. In fact, they went just 3-3 SU over their last six games. One of those wins did come against the Panthers right here in New Orleans, and it came by a 10-point margin. I can’t help but feel we see a tighter contest this time around as these two familiar divisional foes do battle. Take Carolina (10*). |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Titans v. Chiefs UNDER 44.5 | Top | 22-21 | Win | 100 | 20 h 58 m | Show |
NFL Wild Card Total of the Year. My selection is on the ‘under’ between Tennessee and Kansas City at 4:35 pm et on Saturday. I’ll back the ‘under’ as the NFL Playoffs kick off in Kansas City on Saturday afternoon. While the Chiefs did close out the regular season with their offensively seemingly humming along, the fact is, neither of these offenses was all that consistent this season. Note that the Titans haven’t allowed more than 27 points in a game since Week 11, when they suffered a 40-17 loss in Pittsburgh, playing just four days after a 24-20 home win over the Bengals. Meanwhile, the Chiefs allowed 15 points or less in their last three games that mattered (they gave up 24 points in last week’s meaningless win over the Broncos – we won with the ‘over’ in that contest). There’s really no need to overthink things here. I’m just not sure that either quarterback really gets rolling, nor do I believe the ground games will run wild in the first of this weekend’s four Wild Card matchups. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
01-05-18 | Raptors v. Bucks +1 | Top | 129-110 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 4 m | Show |
NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Milwaukee plus the points over Toronto at 8:05 pm et on Friday. We won with the Raptors in their convincing win over the Bulls in Chicago two nights ago but I won't hesitate to switch gears and fade them as they stay on the road to take on the Bucks on Friday night. Milwaukee has won three of its last four games, going a perfect 4-0 ATS over that stretch. The Bucks are a solid 13-6 SU at home this season. Keep in mind, the Bucks just went toe-to-toe with the Raptors in Toronto on Monday, forcing overtime before falling by four points. That snapped their three-game ATS losing skid in the series. Solid spot for the Bucks to catch the Raptors riding a little too high on Friday night. Take Milwaukee (10*). |
|||||||
12-31-17 | Chiefs v. Broncos OVER 37.5 | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 19 h 28 m | Show |
NFL Total of the Week. My selection is on the 'over' between Kansas City and Denver at 4:25 pm et on Sunday. I'll back the 'over' in Denver on Sunday afternoon. I'm confident we'll see both offenses open things up in this somewhat meaningless Week 17 matchup. The Chiefs will give rookie Patrick Mahomes a chance under center and I believe we'll see him perform well. Meanwhile, the Broncos offense has been a mess all season long but can take a step toward next season with a strong finish in front of the home faithful. Both defenses have had their ups and downs this season, but in reality there have been more downs than ups. Familiarity generally lends itself to lower scoring football games, but I believe the oddsmakers have gone too low with this total. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
12-31-17 | Cowboys -3 v. Eagles | Top | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 17 h 46 m | Show |
NFL Blowout Game of the Week. My selection is on Dallas minus the points over Philadelphia at 1 pm et on Sunday. I'll lay the points with the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon, even as they are simply playing out the string against the division rival Eagles. I expect questions to linger whether the Eagles are the real deal with the playoffs on the doorstep. Of course, Carson Wentz remains sidelined and Nick Foles did little to inspire confidence in Monday's narrow win over the Raiders. The Cowboys will certainly be looking to take out their frustrations on Philadelphia here, following a no-show at home against the Seahawks in a must-win game last Sunday. Look for the 'Boys to close out the season on a positive note. Take Dallas (10*). |
|||||||
12-28-17 | Michigan State -2 v. Washington State | Top | 42-17 | Win | 100 | 11 h 18 m | Show |
CFB Bowl Blowout Game of the Month. My selection is on Michigan State minus the points over Washington State at 9 pm et on Thursday. I'll lay the points with the Spartans in this matchup. While I was high on Washington State for much of the season, I don't believe this is a favorable matchup at all for the Cougars. Michigan State is coming off a terrible 2016 campaign, but has certainly made amends here in 2017 and can notch its 10th victory of the season on Thursday night. For Washington State, a strong start to the season is what got it into this Bowl game. A poor finish is what prevented the Cougars from getting into a much more prestigious game, however. I just don't feel the Cougars come into this contest with anything to hang their hat on, particularly on the defensive side of the football, where I expect them to get exposed once again. Take Michigan State (10*). |
|||||||
12-24-17 | Jaguars v. 49ers OVER 42 | Top | 33-44 | Win | 100 | 20 h 43 m | Show |
NFL Total of the Week. My selection is on the 'over' between Jacksonville and San Francisco at 4:05 pm et on Sunday. The betting marketplace still hasn't caught up with these two rejuvenated offenses, at least considering this relatively low posted total. The Jags have seemingly come out of nowhere to become a contender in the AFC this season and while their defense has led the way for much of the campaign, it has been their offense that has really shouldered the load lately. A host of emerging talents at wide receiver have helped lift up QB Blake Bortles and I expect to see continuation of that strong play here in San Francisco. Meanwhile, the 49ers have found their QB of the future in Jimmy Garoppolo. In fact, he's proving to be their QB of the present as well. This will be Garoppolo's toughest test since taking over the starting job for the Niners, but I'm confident he'll exceed expectations. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
12-24-17 | Lions v. Bengals +3 | Top | 17-26 | Win | 100 | 17 h 52 m | Show |
NFL Underdog Game of the Year. My selection is on Cincinnati plus the points over Detroit at 1 pm et on Sunday. I really like the way this ones sets up for the underdog Bengals at home. The future is cloudy for the Bengals as a franchise as long-time head coach Marvin Lewis has one foot out the door. But for this week, the spot sets up well as the Lions come in off of back-to-back wins against the lowly Bucs and Bears. Cincinnati should get a boost offensively with the expected return of RB Joe Mixon. After appearing lifeless in the last couple of weeks, I'm confident we'll see the Bengals offense get rolling against a vulnerable Lions defense on Sunday afternoon. The Lions have their sights set on a playoff berth in the NFC but I believe we'll see their hopes spoiled in resounding fashion. The last time we saw the Bengals play with some pride was the first half against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football three weeks ago. Expect more of that type of play on Sunday. Take Cincinnati (10*). |
|||||||
12-24-17 | Bills v. Patriots -11.5 | Top | 16-37 | Win | 100 | 17 h 44 m | Show |
NFL Blowout Game of the Week. My selection is on New England minus the points over Buffalo at 1 pm et on Sunday. The Bills are on a nice little run having posted three wins in their last four games both SU and ATS. However, I believe that run grinds to a halt here in Foxboro. The Patriots escaped with a 27-24 win in Pittsburgh last week to take back control of the AFC. Now I expect to see them play loose back at home, and ultimately deliver a lopsided win over the Bills. Keep in mind, Buffalo has just one road win in the last two months and that came at the expense of the Chiefs, who were coming unraveled at the time. It won't be so fortunate in this spot as the Pats seem to have been galvanized by that shocking Monday night loss in Miami two weeks ago. We're being asked to lay double-digits here for a reason. Take New England (10*). |
|||||||
12-18-17 | Falcons v. Bucs OVER 48 | Top | 24-21 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 22 m | Show |
NFC South Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'over' between Atlanta and Tampa Bay at 8:30 pm et on Monday. I don't believe either of these teams will have trouble moving the football on Monday night. The Falcons stumbled last week against New Orleans, but still managed to prevail in a rather ugly 20-17 affair. I expect them to bounce back in a big way offensively here - QB Matt Ryan in particular. Meanwhile, the Bucs have had some success putting points on the board against the Falcons, even if it hasn't resulted in much success in the win column. Note that Tampa Bay has scored at least 20 points in four straight games. With that being said, it has lost three games in a row and will be highly-motivated to respond here. Keep an eye on Bucs RB Peyton Barber in particular in this one. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Warriors v. Pistons +5 | Top | 102-98 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
NBA Underdog Game of the Month. My selection is on Detroit plus the points over Golden State at 7:05 pm et on Friday. We have two teams seemingly heading in the opposite direction here. The Warriors have won five games in a row SU and four consecutive ATS. However, they're dealing with some key injury issues with Steph Curry sidelined until later in the month and both Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala banged up as well. Meanwhile, the Pistons are healthy, but come in riding a four-game SU skid, having gone 1-2-1 ATS over that stretch. There's no question Detroit will be up for this game though, and it's worth noting that the Pistons already defeated the Warriors in Oakland this season. In fact, Detroit is 3-1 ATS in the last four meetings in this series. Look for the Pistons to at least take the Warriors down to the wire in this spot. Take Detroit (10*). |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Devils v. Blue Jackets UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
NHL Metropolitan Division Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between New Jersey and Columbus at 7:05 pm et on Tuesday. I'll back the 'under' in Newark on Tuesday night. Here we have a matchup of two of the steadiest goaltenders in the league this season, as Cory Schneider is expected to go up against Sergei Bobrovsky. It's certainly still early, but this game should feature the ever-cliched 'playoff atmosphere' as these two teams battle atop the Metropolitan Division. The Devils aren't scoring with much consistency right now, having found the back of the net just four times over their last three games. They were held off the scoresheet entirely in a 5-0 loss in Arizona last time out. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets have scored at least four goals just once in their last four contests. After giving up four goals on a rare occasion in their most recent contest, I look for them to tighten things up considerably tonight. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Browns v. Chargers -13.5 | Top | 10-19 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 54 m | Show |
NFL Blowout Game of the Week. My selection is on Los Angeles minus the points over Cleveland at 4:05 pm et on Sunday. I'll lay the big number with the surging Chargers on Sunday afternoon as they host the listless Browns. We won with San Diego last week in Dallas and there's little reason to jump ship in this spot. Los Angeles has righted the ship with back-to-back wins, both SU and ATS and can certainly see a path to an AFC West title with the rest of the division struggling. Note that Los Angeles hasn't lost a home game since falling by just two points in Philadelphia back on October 1st. Meanwhile, the Browns have yet to taste victory this season and have gone 0-4 ATS over their last four contests. They did get past the Chargers as a 4.5-point underdog on Christmas Eve last year but that was a much different situation. Take Los Angeles (10*). |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Memphis v. Central Florida UNDER 81 | Top | 55-62 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 31 m | Show |
CFB Championship Saturday Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'under' between Memphis and Central Florida at 12 noon et on Saturday. These two teams have combined to post a 15-7 o/u record this season but as we've learned year after year, Championship Saturday is a different animal in college football. Both of these offenses are outstanding - among the best in the nation. But they've also beat up on mostly terrible defensive units from the AAC over the course of the season. Here, I look for both teams to bring their 'A' game defensively, and even if both units are vulnerable, I believe they're capable of stepping up in this winner take all affair. Note that Memphis hasn't scored more than 17 points in a game in this series since 2008. Since then, the 'under' has gone 4-1-1 in six meetings. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
11-30-17 | Redskins v. Cowboys OVER 44.5 | Top | 14-38 | Win | 100 | 24 h 14 m | Show |
NFL Thursday Night Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'over' between Washington and Dallas at 8:25 pm et on Thursday. I'm anticipating a bit of a shootout in Arlington on Thursday night. The Redskins scored only 20 points against a struggling Giants defense, at home no less, on Thanksgiving Night but I'm not going to knock them for that ho-hum performance. We've seen QB Kirk Cousins renew acquaintances with WR Jamison Crowder and also WR Josh Doctson in recent weeks. Last Thursday Crowder went off for 141 yards on seven catches while Doctson kept up his hot hand with a touchdown as well. RB Samaje Perine looked good out of the backfield as well, running for 100 yards and adding three catches. I don't expect the Redskins to face much resistance against a Cowboys defense that is still missing its anchor, LB Sean Lee. Until he returns, this unit is vulnerable to say the least. The Cowboys offense has struggled mightily since losing RB Ezekiel Elliott to suspension but I'm anticipating a strong bounce-back performance here. There's no excuse for this offense now. The Cowboys were a no-show against the Chargers on Thanksgiving Day but now face a more manageable matchup against a Redskins defense that is also missing some key cogs. There's no doubt this is a huge game for both teams, perhaps a little moreso for the Cowboys on the heels of three straight losses. Look for them to finally find the end zone and spark what should be an entertaining NFC East showdown on Thursday night. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
11-29-17 | Pacers v. Rockets OVER 222 | Top | 97-118 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
NBA Non-Conference Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'over' between Indiana and Houston at 8 pm et on Wednesday. I'm confident we're going to see a track meet between the Pacers and Rockets in Houston on Wednesday. Indiana is coming off a 121-109 home win over the Magic on Monday night. That marked the third straight game in which Indiana allowed at least 104 points. Things obviously won't get any easier here as they hit the road to face the high-octane Rockets. Houston has scored at least 117 points in four of its last five games - all victories. We've seen the Rockets lag a little bit defensively over their last couple, however, giving up 102 and 103 points against the Knicks and Nets. They'll face a tougher challenge here as the Pacers are averaging over 110 points per game on the road this season. We're dealing with a high posted total here, but it's warranted. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
11-29-17 | Senators v. Canadiens -130 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 32 m | Show |
NHL Eastern Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Montreal over Ottawa at 7:35 pm et on Wednesday. The Canadiens have gotten back on track due in large part to the triumphant return of Carey Price from injury. Make no mistake though, those last two wins were great, but this is the 'w' they want and need against one of their biggest division rivals. The Senators are reeling right now. They've lost six games in a row and simply aren't scoring. They haven't scored more than two goals over that six-game skid. Craig Anderson was terrific between the pipes last season but hasn't come close to regaining his form this year. It's still early and this is likely just a blip on the radar in the grand scheme of things, but given their current form, I don't see the Sens breaking through with a win here. Note that the Habs have taken four straight meetings in this series. Take Montreal (10*). |
