04-27-16 | Hornets v. Heat -6 | 90-88 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Heat have been two different teams in the playoffs depending on the venue and will hope for a return to form on offense when the series shifts back to Miami for Game 5 today. The sixth-seeded Charlotte Hornets took Games 3 and 4 at home to even the series and hope the defensive improvements the team made can carry over to Game 5. The Heat set a franchise postseason scoring record with 123 points in Game 1 and put up 72 in the first half of a 115-103 Game 2 win |
|||||||
04-27-16 | Yankees v. Rangers -128 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Texas Rangers look to build off a big offensive performance when they host the last-place New York Yankees today in the rubber match of their three-game series. The Rangers managed five runs during a four-game losing streak before pounding out 13 hits en route to a 10-1 triumph over the Yankees 10-1 on Tuesday to move back over .500 at 11-10. Free-agent signee Ian Desmond is adjusting to his new surroundings while batting .400 over his last eight games for Texas, belting his third homer in that span on Tuesday. New York is 4-9 in its last 13 games, scoring a total of 32 runs and allowing at least seven on five different occasions during that stretch. The Yankees, who have fallen to fifth in the American League East after their swoon, send veteran CC Sabathia to the mound against fellow left-hander Martin Perez. |
|||||||
04-27-16 | A's -103 v. Tigers | 4-9 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Gray recorded a quality start in each of his first four turns and struck out a season-high seven in as many innings while yielding three runs at Toronto on Friday. The Vanderbilt product owns 24 strikeouts in 26 1/3 frames but is trying to get his walk rate down after issuing 11 free passes. Gray is 1-0 with a total of four runs allowed over 14 innings in two career starts against Detroit. |
|||||||
04-27-16 | White Sox +131 v. Blue Jays | 4-0 | Win | 131 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Quintana has yet to allow more than two earned runs and turned in his best outing of the young season against Texas on Friday, scattering four hits over seven scoreless innings in a win. The Colombia native has not surrendered a home run and recorded 22 strikeouts against five walks in 24 2/3 total innings. Quintana is 4-2 with a 1.88 ERA in seven career starts against Toronto. |
|||||||
04-26-16 | A's -120 v. Tigers | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tigers grabbed a win in last night's opener, but they'll have a less favorable set of circumstances in tonight's contest. Mike Pelfrey has been a disaster so far in 2016 (-$315 with a 6.14 ERA) and he'll be taking on an Oakland team that is 7-2 (+$775) vs. righties on the road. Rich Hill is performing well with the A's right now (3.32 ERA in four outings) and the Tigers haven't looked sharp vs. southpaws (-$275). Detroit had lost 7 of 10 prior to last night (-$330) and I expect them to come up short in this one as well. |
|||||||
04-26-16 | White Sox -115 v. Blue Jays | 10-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago worked an extra day of rest into the schedule for Sale by calling up Miguel Gonzalez for the start on Monday. Sale dominated in his last two starts, striking out nine in a two-hit shutout at Tampa Bay on April 15 and giving up an unearned run on two hits over seven innings in a win over the Angels on Wednesday. The Florida native, who did not issue a walk in either of those last two starts. Toronto hurler Dickey started twice against Chicago last season and was knocked around for seven runs in 12 total innings while going 0-1. |
|||||||
04-25-16 | Clippers -3.5 v. Blazers | 84-98 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Clippers were a -1 favorite in their Game 3 defeat. Suddenly, they’re a -3.5 favorite. Seems like a counterintuitive move by the line maker and the people, but if they have a lead, instead of falling behind, then Portland can’t hack DeAndre Jordan, and coach Rivers doesn’t have to take him off the floor for fear of empty possessions on bricked free throws. LA’s shooting percentages from the floor in Game 3 were horrible and should improve significantly. They got rocked by 0-2 home team energy early in that defeat and will come out stronger tonight. |
|||||||
04-25-16 | Padres +175 v. Giants | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pomeranz is coming off a superb outing against Pittsburgh on Wednesday in which he allowed just an unearned run and four hits over 6 2/3 innings while recording a career-high 10 strikeouts en route to victory. The 27-year-old native of Tennessee has yielded two runs or fewer in each of his first three turns while holding opponents to a .180 batting average. |
|||||||
04-25-16 | Royals +115 v. Angels | 1-6 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units As part of their recent domination of the American League, the Kansas City Royals have enjoyed their meetings with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The visiting Royals hope to continue their run of success against the Angels when the teams begin a three-game series today. Including a three-game sweep in the 2014 AL Division Series, Kansas City has won 11 of its last 13 encounters with Los Angeles - claiming five straight on the road during that stretch.After a hamstring issue pushed back his first start of the season, Kennedy has hit the ground running with three straight solid outings - striking out seven in each. He limited Detroit to two runs over 6 1/3 innings in a tough loss on Wednesday. Opponents are hitting .188 against the 31-year-old, |
|||||||
04-25-16 | Cardinals +108 v. Diamondbacks | 7-12 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Garcia was unable to provide an encore to his one-hit shutout against Milwaukee on April 14, yielding two runs on four hits and four walks over five innings in a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Mexican endured his worst outing of the season in his lone road turn on April 8, giving up four runs in six frames of a no-decision at Atlanta. Garcia has been brilliant in five career starts against Arizona, winning each time while posting a 2.51 ERA (3-0, 1.62 at Chase Field). |
|||||||
04-25-16 | Ducks -114 v. Predators | 1-3 | Loss | -114 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Nashville Predators flew home last week in control of their first-round playoff series and looking to push the Anaheim Ducks to the brink of elimination. Three straight losses later, the Predators returned home with a far different agenda - needing a victory tonight to keep their season going as they prepare to host the Ducks in Game 6. Since dropping a pair of one-goal decisions at home, Anaheim has outscored Nashville 12-3 to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. Anaheim goaltender Andersen has endured one regulation loss (20-1-2) in his last 25 appearances. |
|||||||
04-24-16 | Marlins v. Giants -101 | 5-4 | Loss | -101 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The San Francisco Giants attempt to complete their first sweep of the season when they host the Miami Marlins on Sunday for the finale of their three-game series. After dropping four meetings with Arizona to begin its 10-game homestand, San Francisco breezed past Miami in their first two meetings, outscoring the Marlins 15-3 in the triumphs. Conley tossed six scoreless innings against Washington in his 2016 home debut on Tuesday but fell apart in the seventh, surrendering four runs before departing with two out. |
|||||||
04-24-16 | Rays +104 v. Yankees | 8-1 | Win | 104 | 1 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Smyly turned in one of the more dominant performances of the season and still couldn't come away with the victory despite striking out 11 and permitting one hit in eight scoreless innings at Boston on Tuesday. The 26-year-old Arkansas native also fanned 11 in his previous turn, a 4-1 loss versus Cleveland in which he gave up three runs (two earned) on three hits over seven innings. He is 1-0 with a 1.82 ERA in six appearances (three starts) versus New York. |
|||||||
04-23-16 | Marlins v. Giants +122 | 2-7 | Win | 122 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy has experimented with several different lineups early this season, but his latest version may stick for a while. The Giants head into today’s game against the visiting Miami Marlins looking to build on their breakout performance in Friday’s series opener, when they recorded 14 hits and snapped a five-game losing streak with an impressive 8-1 victory. Bochy moved Matt Duffy back into the No. 3 spot in the batting order Friday after watching his underachieving lineup struggle to hit with runners in scoring position. The Marlins, have lost seven of their last nine games and need more production from players such as Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna, who has two extra-base hits in his last 29 at-bats and is batting .203 overall. The offense would be an even greater concern if not for Christian Yelich, who is hitting .400 after belting three doubles in Friday’s loss. |
|||||||
04-23-16 | Blues +1.5 v. Blackhawks | 3-6 | Loss | -220 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pietrangelo's five points in the series have him tied for the team lead with Vladimir Tarasenko as well as Jaden Schwartz, who scored in his third straight contest on Thursday to extend his point streak to four games (three goals, two assists). Former Blackhawk Troy Brouwer, who has been held without a point in seven straight contests, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that eliminating Chicago will not come easily. Little margin of error exists in this series, as each contest has been decided by one goal and two games have ventured past regulation. I know it's high odds, but take the goal and a half. |
|||||||
04-23-16 | Heat v. Hornets -2 | 80-96 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The 0-2 team comes home and doesn’t lay a lot of points. They can be Saturday’s Boston Celtics of Friday, who were 0-2 and handled Atlanta with relative ease after switching floors. Miami had a 43-point quarter in their Game 2 win on Wednesday. They also had a 5-point quarter in their regular-season finale, so, you see what happens in the NBA? The coach of the Hornets, Steve Clifford, didn’t seem overly worried about possibly being overmatched despite losses by 32 and 12 points in Miami. Miami has already proven that sometimes, they don’t make a lot of baskets. Additionally Charlotte is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. |
|||||||
04-23-16 | Raptors v. Pacers +1.5 | 83-100 | Win | 100 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Indiana All-Star forward Paul George had 25 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and once again carried his club, but he suffered through a 6-of-19 shooting effort. Keep in mind that Indiana is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss while Toronto is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 Conference Quarterfinals games. |
|||||||
04-23-16 | A's +138 v. Blue Jays | 3-9 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chris Coghlan has provided an unexpected power surge to keep the Oakland Athletics undefeated on the road. After belting a homer in each of his last two contests, Coghlan looks to extend the Athletics' season-high winning streak to seven games this afternoon when they play the second of three contests versus the host Toronto Blue Jays. Bassitt has yet to record a decision despite tossing seven strong innings in each of his last two outings. The 27-year-old has allowed just two earned runs and eight hits in his last two trips to the mound, but a lack of run support has proven to be the primary culprit. Bassitt will be making his 22nd career start and first versus Toronto. |
|||||||
04-22-16 | Cardinals -127 v. Padres | 1-4 | Loss | -127 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Wainwright won 19 or more games in four of five seasons before an Achilles' tendon injury limited him to 28 innings last season. He will attempt to get St. Louis started successfully on a seven-game road trip that concludes with four games against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Wainwright is 6-2 with a 1.74 ERA and .225 batting average against in 11 career appearances (eight starts) against the Padres. Wainwright has regularly handcuffed right fielder Matt Kemp (3-for-23) but has struggled with left fielder Melvin Upton Jr. (4-for-9). |
|||||||
04-22-16 | Sharks +110 v. Kings | 6-3 | Win | 110 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The San Jose Sharks look to continue their season-long success on the road and finish off the host Los Angeles Kings when the Pacific Division rivals meet on Friday for Game 5 of their first-round series, which has featured four one-goal decisions. San Jose posted a league-best 28-10-3 record away from home in the regular season, setting a franchise record for road wins, and carried its impressive play into the playoffs by winning the opening two games in Los Angeles. The Sharks have won all four of their visits to Staples Center in 2015-16, including this series. 2. The road team has won seven of the nine meetings between the Sharks and Kings this season. |
|||||||
04-22-16 | Spurs -11 v. Grizzlies | 96-87 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The San Antonio Spurs mauled Memphis in each of the first two games and look to take a 3-0 lead in the first-round series when they visit the Grizzlies on Friday. Second-seeded San Antonio won the first two games by an average of 29 points and limited injury ravaged Memphis to an average of 71 points. Fast starts on the defensive end have fueled the two blowout victories as San Antonio held Memphis to 13 points in the first quarter of the opener and just 11 in Game 2. All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge is playing with a dislocated right pinky finger and has been a big factor in why Memphis power forward Zach Randolph has been unable to get on track. |
|||||||
04-22-16 | Red Sox +131 v. Astros | 6-2 | Win | 131 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Astros were pounded by Texas in a three game sweep at Arlington, and find themselves in last place with the worst record in the AL (5-11, -$865). Tonight they face a right hander in Steven Wright who looks good after a pair of quality starts (2.13 ERA). Boston has averaged an impressive 5.3 runs per game when facing righties, and they can handle a struggling Collin McHugh (6.40 ERA in three outings). Attractive price on the underdog looks too good to pass up. |
|||||||
04-22-16 | A's +125 v. Blue Jays | 8-5 | Win | 125 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Oakland opened its 10-game road trip with a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees, with Jed Lowrie collecting six hits in the set - including an RBI single in Thursday's 7-3 triumph. The Athletics will send ace Sonny Gray to the mound on Friday against Toronto, which dropped the final two contests of its three-game series to Baltimore while registering one-run decisions in each of its last four outings (2-2). Gray allowed one earned run for the second time in three quality starts in Saturday's 5-3 win over Kansas City. The 26-year-old did a better job with his control, however, as he walked just one batter after issuing seven free passes in his first two outings. |
|||||||
04-21-16 | Warriors v. Rockets +5 | 96-97 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units James Harden scored 28 points in Game 2 and went 13-of-15 from the free-throw line after not attempting one in Game 1. Houston is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games playing on 2 days rest, 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Conference Quarterfinals games, and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |
|||||||
04-21-16 | Ducks -105 v. Predators | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Home-ice advantage has been anything but that for the Anaheim Ducks and Nashville Predators, with the away team prevailing in each of the first three contests. The Ducks, fresh off what could have been a postseason-saving 3-0 victory on Tuesday, look to continue the trend of road dominance when they visit the Predators in tonight's Game 4. Andersen, who improved to 15-7 in the postseason, has posted two straight shutouts after blanking Washington in the regular-season finale. Consider that Anaheim is 26-9 in their last 35 vs. Western Conference and 10-4 in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. |
|||||||
04-21-16 | Raptors v. Pacers +1.5 | 101-85 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jonas Valanciunas has been Toronto's most reliable performer through the first two games of the series and the Raptors hope the 7-foot center has another strong effort in him when they visit the Indiana Pacers in today's Game 3. Valanciunas averaged team-leading figures of 17.5 points and 17 rebounds as second-seeded Toronto split the first two games with seventh-seeded Indiana. However, the Raptors have lost 6 of their last 7 playoff games and are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 Conference Quarterfinals games. |
|||||||
04-21-16 | Thunder -8.5 v. Mavs | 131-102 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Thunder’s outright home loss as a 13-point favorite in Game 2 ought to take care of any complacency issues. For the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki joins the injured for Game 3, which also includes starting guards Deron Williams and J.J. Barea and backup forward David Lee. Backup guard Devin Harris has been playing through a torn thumb ligament. The Mavericks scored only 70 and 84 points in the two games in OKC, so, there isn't anything wrong with the Thunder’s defense. They had an unusually poor shooting night in Game 2 but teams that win 67% of their games usually don’t go through eight quarters of droughts. |
|||||||
04-21-16 | Diamondbacks v. Giants -165 | 6-2 | Loss | -165 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Miller has been cleared to start after leaving Saturday’s game against San Diego with two outs in the second inning with cuts on both knuckles of his right index finger. The Texas native has had a rough start to his Diamondbacks career while yielding 12 runs and 23 baserunners over 12 2/3 innings. Cueto has made a strong impression with his new team with three straight victories, including a quality start against the Dodgers on Saturday when he allowed one run and struck out seven over 7 1/3 innings. Jean Segura has three hits in 20 at-bats against Cueto, who owns a 6-1 record and 2.54 ERA in eight career starts against Arizona. |
|||||||
04-21-16 | Angels +101 v. White Sox | 3-2 | Win | 101 | 3 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Starting pitching has been the calling card for Chicago, which saw ace Chris Sale become the majors' first four-game winner in Wednesday's 2-1 triumph. John Danks is singing a vastly different tune as the left-hander has been blitzed in his first two outings this season and boasts a 1-9 mark with a gaudy 5.06 ERA in his past 12 turns dating to 2015. Weaver has dominated Chicago in his career, winning his last six starts en route to posting a 10-2 mark with a 1.99 ERA while limiting the club to batting .207 against him. The 33-year-old scattered five hits over 6 1/3 scoreless frames in his last encounter with the White Sox. |
|||||||
04-20-16 | Blazers v. Clippers -8.5 | 81-102 | Win | 100 | 12 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Clippers had no trouble with the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 1 and will try to take a 2-0 lead when they host Game 2 today. The Clippers coasted to a 115-95 victory in the series opener behind 28 points and 11 assists from Chris Paul and a solid defensive effort against the Trail Blazers’ talented backcourt. Paul had plenty of help from the rest of his teammates, including a strong game from Blake Griffin that made it look as if the former All-Star was all the way back from his quad and hand injuries. Consider that the Trailblazers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. |
|||||||
04-20-16 | Nationals +106 v. Marlins | 3-1 | Win | 106 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Nationals snapped a two game losing streak with a big win last night, and they are positioned to take a 2-1 series lead this evening. Joe Ross has looked very sharp in his two appearances so far (+200, 0.61 ERA) and Miami is only 3-8 (-$665 vs. righthhanders). Wei-Yin Chen hasn't had much success with the Marlins (-$300, 5.56 ERA in two starts) and Washington is dominating in the NL East right now. Reasonable price on a very competitive road team tonight. |
|||||||
04-20-16 | Hornets v. Heat -4.5 | 103-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The third-seeded Miami Heat versus the sixth-seeded Charlotte Hornets was supposed to be one of the tighter matchups of the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Heat breezed to a 32-point victory in Game 1 and will try to open up a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven set with another easy win when they host the Hornets in Game 2 today. Miami’s clear advantage entering the series was experience, and Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng and Joe Johnson all have plenty of experience in the postseason, even if none of it came together. Deng looked comfortable with a season-high 31 points on 11-of-13 shooting in Game 1 to lead a 57.6 percent shooting effort from the Heat. Consider Miami is also 20-7 ATS in their last 27 vs. Eastern Conference. |
|||||||
04-20-16 | Capitals -160 v. Flyers | 1-2 | Loss | -160 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Capitals are looking every bit like the team that set a franchise record for wins en route to capturing its second Presidents' Trophy while the Philadelphia Flyers may be running on empty after motoring to the final wild-card spot following a 15-5-3 run. The Capitals aim to complete a sweep of a best-of seven series for the first time in franchise history today when they play Game 4 of their first-round series in Philadelphia. Special teams continue to be the story of the series as Washington scored a staggering five times on the power play in Monday's 6-1 victory in Game 3. The Capitals are 8-for-17 with the man advantage after the first three contests while the Flyers have failed on all 13 of their opportunities. Philadelphia, in fact, has solved Braden Holtby on only two occasions despite unleashing 93 shots on the front-runner for this season's Vezina Trophy |
|||||||
04-20-16 | A's +130 v. Yankees | 5-2 | Win | 130 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Graveman is in search of his first victory despite allowing just three runs on seven hits in 11 1/3 innings this season. The 25-year-old was left with a no-decision last Tuesday despite yielding just one run on four hits in six frames against the Los Angeles Angels. Eovaldi has been victimized by the home-run ball this season, allowing two for the second straight outing on Thursday. The 26-year-old yielded a three-run shot to Josh Donaldson in the fifth and a solo blast to Troy Tulowitzki the following inning. Eovaldi has kept the ball in the park in all four career appearances versus Oakland, but owns a 5.09 ERA while permitting the Athletics to bat .337 against him. |
|||||||
04-19-16 | Angels v. White Sox -116 | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The White Sox were skunked by Hector Santiago and the Angels in last night's series opener, but I expect them to bounce right back in this one. Matt Shoemaker is a far less imposing pitcher for LA (6.00 ERA in his two starts) while Mat Latos has flashed excellent form in his first two outings (+$220, 0.75 ERA). Prior to last evening the Angels had been averaging a pathetic 3.0 runs per game, while Chicago has a 7-3 (+$420) record vs. right-handers. Good spot to take a hot team and pitcher at a fair price. |
|||||||
04-19-16 | Penguins v. Rangers +101 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Just as it appeared the sky was falling for the New York Rangers, star goaltender Henrik Lundqvist returned to the lineup from a potentially serious eye injury to restore order in Gotham. After salvaging a split on the road, Lundqvist and the Rangers look to make it two straight wins against the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins in tonight's Game 3 of the first-round series. Lundqvist, who had to leave Game 1 after taking a stick in the eye from teammate Marc Staal, made 29 saves to level the series at a game apiece while beating Pittsburgh for the eighth time in his last 10 postseason matchups. His return also shifted the focus back to issues in net for the Penguins, who have been forced to start third-stringer Jeff Zatkoff in Games 1 and 2. |
|||||||
04-19-16 | Celtics v. Hawks -6.5 | 72-89 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Atlanta Hawks squandered all of a 19-point lead in Game 1 but recovered late in the fourth quarter and managed to pull out a 102-101 victory. The fourth-seeded Hawks will try to make it two in a row on today over the fifth-seeded and visiting Boston Celtics, who will be without guard Avery Bradley due to a “significant” hamstring injury suffered late Saturday. The absence of Bradley as a lockdown defender could open the floor even more for Atlanta guard Jeff Teague, who collected 23 points and 12 assists in the opener. |
|||||||
04-18-16 | Rockets v. Warriors -13 | 106-115 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden State Warriors looked every bit like the best team in the NBA in Game 1 of their first-round series. The Rockets will spend their off day trying to figure out how to coax more offense out of a team that shot 35.7 percent from the field, including 6-of-22 from 3-point range, in the opener. In addition Golden State is 17-5 ATS in their last 22 Conference Quarterfinals games. |
|||||||
04-18-16 | Kings +105 v. Sharks | 2-1 | Win | 105 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Kings find themselves in an unenviable position in their first-round series against the San Jose Sharks, but it's nothing they haven't experienced before. The Kings look to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole versus San Jose for the second time in three years when they visit the Sharks in Game 3 today. Los Angeles was in that situation in 2014 and went on to become the fourth team in Stanley Cup playoff history to rally from the deficit and win the series, but the club knows how difficult the task was and does not want to be forced to repeat it. Despite being the NHL's best road team in the regular season, San Jose was a disappointing 18-20-3 at home. |
|||||||
04-18-16 | Capitals -136 v. Flyers | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Capitals have benefited from stellar special teams play and a 101-foot goal to win the initial two contests of their first-round series with the Philadelphia Flyers. Holtby, who has looked every bit the front-runner for the Vezina Trophy by stopping 60-of-61 shots in the series. Washington is Capitals are 39-14 in their last 53 vs. Eastern Conference and 15-6 in their last 21 vs. Metropolitan. |

04-18-16 | Mets v. Phillies +174 | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Phillies have been holding their own in the early going, and they have a promising young arm in Jerad Eickhoff, who checks in here with a 1.50 ERA after two starts (2.65 ERA in eight starts last year). The Mets are struggling to put runs on the board (only 3.3 per game, .220 team BA) and they dropped a bundle on the road vs. right-handers in night games last year (-$1090). New York is a team to avoid at the moment, so take the fat underdog price on the home team tonight. |

04-17-16 | Blazers v. Clippers -8 | 95-115 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units he Los Angeles Clippers breezed their way to the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference despite operating without All-Star forward Blake Griffin for over three months. Griffin is back in the fold for the playoffs and will try to help the Clippers slip past the fifth-seeded Portland Trail Blazers, who visit for Game 1 today. Griffin returned to the lineup on April 3 after missing extended time due to quad, hand and suspension issues and played in five of the final seven games, averaging 10.4 points on 40 percent shooting in 24.6 minutes. Portland took the first meeting 102-91 at home on Nov. 20 but dropped the next three. |
|||||||
04-17-16 | Lightning +110 v. Red Wings | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Detroit Red Wings have not found the answer to slowing down Tyler Johnson in the playoffs over the last two seasons and are running out of time as they host the Tampa Bay Lightning today for Game 3 of their first-round series. Johnson scored six times in last year’s seven-game battle and has a pair of goals to go with four assists in two victories to open the postseason in 2016. In addition, Tampa Bay is 16-7 in their last 23 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game while Detroit is 3-7 in their last 10 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game.. |
|||||||
04-17-16 | Hornets v. Heat -4.5 | 91-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Miami is ready to face the playoffs without All-Star Chris Bosh, who has been out since the All-Star break and will miss the postseason due to a medical condition. The Heat added veteran Joe Johnson when it became clear that Bosh would not be coming back anytime soon, and Johnson averaged 13.4 points in 24 games while helping the team go 16-8 in that span. In addition, the Heat are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 vs. Eastern Conference while the Hornets are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Conference Quarterfinals games. |
|||||||
04-17-16 | Tigers +124 v. Astros | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sanchez has been consistent in each of his first two starts, breezing through five scoreless innings before yielding two runs in the sixth in both outings. The 32-year-old Venezuelan scattered four hits and walked away with the victory both times, and is 4-1 in nine career encounters with Houston. Sanchez was rocked for seven runs and eight hits - including two homers - in his last meeting with Houston but received a no-decision. Fiers has sputtered out of the gate this season, yielding five runs in as many innings of his first outing before his quality start versus Kansas City on Tuesday resulted in a 3-2 setback. The 30-year-old has permitted three homers in 11 frames this season. |
|||||||
04-17-16 | Nationals -132 v. Phillies | 2-3 | Loss | -132 | 3 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Gonzalez allowed three hits over six scoreless innings Tuesday in a 2-1 victory against Atlanta in his season debut. He held left-handed batters hitless in eight at-bats in that contest, which that likely comes as no surprise to Ryan Howard, who is 0-for-11 with six strikeouts in his career against the two-time All-Star. Gonzalez was 2-1 with a 2.92 ERA against Philadelphia last season and is 8-5 with a 3.02 ERA lifetime against the Phillies. Morton rebounded from a poor season debut to twirl 6 2/3 scoreless innings against San Diego his last time out. He still has to improve his control (six walks in 10 1/3 innings) but he's averaging 8.7 strikeouts per nine innings, well above his averages in previous years. |
|||||||
04-16-16 | Celtics v. Hawks -5.5 | 101-102 | Loss | -101 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Atlanta was the top-seeded team in the Eastern Conference at this time last spring but took a little longer to get started in 2015-16. The Hawks began to look like a contender again in the second half and ended up leading the league in defensive field goal percentage (43.2) while using a 14-3 stretch from Feb. 26 to March 28 to vault themselves into contention for homecourt advantage in the first round. Boston took the first meeting this season but Atlanta won the next three by an average of 13.7 points. |
|||||||
04-16-16 | Rangers +1.5 v. Penguins | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 3 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Lundqvist is expected to play as long as there are no adverse effects from Friday's practice and his importance to New York cannot be overstated - he entered the postseason winning his last four playoff starts at Pittsburgh while surrendering a total of four goals. The Penguins have issues of their own in net with starter Marc-Andre Fleury and backup Matt Murray each dealing with a concussion. |
|||||||
04-16-16 | Reds +137 v. Cardinals | 9-8 | Win | 137 | 3 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Reds have been the early surprise team of 2016, winning 5 of their first 6 (+$425) while averaging 5.2 runs per game on offense. They are getting terrific pitching from their starters (2.88 ERA) and the bullpen looks good (2.42) despite the loss of Aroldis Chapman. Brandon Finnegan pitched six quality innings in his first outing (3.00 ERA). The Cardinals have struggled vs. lefties in recent years, posting a 0-2 mark (-$200) to start this season. |
|||||||
04-16-16 | Mariners v. Yankees +111 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York offense had a very nice opening week (.292 team BA, averaging a healthy 7.0 runs per game) and they look to be in good shape against a Seattle team with plenty of holes. The Mariners had a tough time handling the Yankees in 2015 (only 1-5, -$425) and after watching them stumble out of the gate (-$345 so far) we’re inclined towards the Bombers. Seattle was only 22-32 vs. lefthanders last year (-$1205) and dropped 3 out of 4 to southpaws last week (-$280). C.C. Sabathia looked decent in an 8-4 win at Comerica |
|||||||
04-15-16 | Orioles v. Rangers -118 | 11-5 | Loss | -118 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Baltimore Orioles' red-hot bats have cooled a bit as they've followed a franchise-best 7-0 start by scoring just five runs in back-to-back losses. The Orioles look to snap their modest skid and even their four-game series with the host Texas Rangers when the clubs meet again today. The Orioles were problematic when playing on the road last year (-$1300) and they have dropped 7 of 8 head to head contests with these Rangers after last nights loss. In addition they managed a meager 3.8 runs vs. lefthanders overall. |
|||||||
04-14-16 | Orioles v. Rangers -130 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 22 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Orioles started the year in impressive fashion, knocking off a weak Minnesota team and winning a pair from the Rays en route to a 7-0 record (+$520). But thy were problematic when playing on the road last year (-$1300) and they dropped 6 of 7 head to head contests with these Rangers (-$615). In addition they managed a meager 3.8 runs vs. lefthanders in all settings (-$390). Cole Hamels (+$210, 2.08 ERA) appears to be in top form. |
|||||||
04-13-16 | Nuggets v. Blazers -10.5 | 99-107 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Portland Trail Blazers are the masters of their own destiny as they reach the final game of the regular season. The Trail Blazers need a win to assure themselves of the No. 5 spot in the Western Conference when they host the Denver Nuggets today. Portland’s surge over the last two months has put it in position to face the fourth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers. The Nuggets are headed for the lottery and followed up an impressive win over the San Antonio Spurs by losing the home finale 100-84 to the Utah Jazz on Sunday. |
|||||||
04-13-16 | Rangers +130 v. Penguins | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pittsburgh Penguins have seen their New York Rangers end their season in the playoffs in each of the last two years, but they will try to turn the tables on their Metropolitan Division rivals this time around. Both teams have myriad injury issues entering Game 1 of the best-of-seven series at Pittsburgh tonight. The Penguins have major concerns in net after goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury suffered his second concussion on March 31 and backup Matt Murray sustained a concussion on Saturday. The news is more positive for the Rangers, who will be without captain Ryan McDonagh (hand) at least for the series opener but saw fellow defenseman Dan Girardi and goaltender Henrik Lundqvist return to practice Tuesday. New York has won seven of the last eight meetings in the playoffs. Lundqvist has surrendered only four goals in winning his last four postseason starts in Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
04-13-16 | Heat v. Celtics -4.5 | 88-98 | Win | 100 | 4 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics have been a dominant team at TD Garden the last few months and can go a long way toward sealing home-court advantage in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs when they host the rival Miami Heat today. The Celtics are 18-3 over their last 21 games at home, but must rebound from one of those losses after a damaging 114-100 defeat against Charlotte on Monday. The Celtics have won both meetings this season by double figures, including a 101-89 triumph at home on Feb. 27. |
|||||||
04-13-16 | Pelicans v. Wolves -9 | 109-144 | Win | 100 | 4 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Timberwolves and the New Orleans Pelicans were each stacked with talented young rosters and high expectations at the start of the season. Those talented rosters remain intact, but both teams will just be finishing out losing seasons when the Timberwolves host the Pelicans in the finale. The Timberwolves showed what their young roster is capable of with a three-game road trip sweep through Golden State, Sacramento and Portland but will still fail to reach 30 wins. |
|||||||
04-13-16 | Magic v. Hornets -7.5 | 103-117 | Win | 100 | 3 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Charlotte Hornets look to follow up an inspiring road victory with another strong postseason tune up in their regular-season finale today against the improving Orlando Magic. The Hornets, who will be either the fifth or sixth seed when the Eastern Conference playoffs begin, won 114-100 at Boston on Monday in what could be a preview of a first-round matchup. The Hornets have won four of the last five meetings, including a 107-99 triumph at home on March 16. |
|||||||
04-13-16 | Orioles +108 v. Red Sox | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Orioles are on pace to win 162 games and are turning Fenway Park into their own home run palace this week. Baltimore will try to bash its way to a series sweep and an 8-0 record to begin the season when it visits the Boston Red Sox for the finale today. Baltimore rode its pitching staff to the first five wins but broke out the bats in the first two games against the Red Sox. Mark Trumbo homered in each of the first two games, Chris Davis bashed the tiebreaking three-run homer in the ninth inning on Monday and J.J. Hardy used Fenway’s friendly dimensions to bloop a pair of homers down the right-field line in Tuesday’s 9-5 victory. Boston’s pitching staff has been just as shaky as feared the first 1 1/2 times through the rotation, with only two quality starts in the first seven games. The Orioles knocked around top two starters David Price and Clay Buchholz in the first two games of the series and will take their shots at Joe Kelly on Wednesday while countering with Ubaldo Jimenez. Kelly is 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA in five career starts against Baltimore. |
|||||||
04-12-16 | Diamondbacks +150 v. Dodgers | 4-2 | Win | 150 | 18 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Diamondbacks made a nice profit as a visitor last season (+$835) and they have a fine lefthander in Patrick Corbin, who looked sharp in 16 starts last year (+$210, 3.60 ERA). The Dodgers lost money vs. southpaws in 2015 (-$565, averaging 3.9 runs per game) so I am willing to take a shot with Arizona with Corbin on the mound. |
|||||||
04-10-16 | Raptors -5 v. Knicks | 93-89 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Raptors are resting their players in anticipation of the playoffs but aren’t sacrificing in the win column. The Raptors will continue to shuffle players and go for victories when they visit the New York Knicks today. Toronto sat Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Luis Scola and DeMarre Carroll on Friday against an Indiana Pacers squad fighting to lock up a playoff berth and still managed to pull out a 111-98 win behind Norman Powell’s season-high 27 points. New York had failed to cover in 10 of its last 14 games at Madison Square Garden going into the first Sunday of the month. |
|||||||
04-10-16 | Warriors v. Spurs -5 | 92-86 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units As great as the Warriors are, the Spurs trump them at home where they have won the past 33 straight regular-season games versus Golden State. The Warriors have found trouble getting their elite offense going against tough defensive clubs on the road. No defense is better than the Spurs. They shut down the Warriors, 87-79, when they hosted them on March 19. Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green and Tim Duncan are among the best defenders in the league. Stephen Curry could only hit four of 18 shots from the floor during that last loss at AT&T Center |
|||||||
04-10-16 | Flyers v. Islanders -105 | 5-2 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Islanders can clinch third place in the Metropolitan Division on the final day of the regular season Sunday, when they host the Philadelphia Flyers. Trailing the New York Rangers by one point, the Islanders need to win today in order to face second-seeded Pittsburgh in the playoffs - otherwise, they'll settle for the first wild card in the Eastern Conference and tangle with Atlantic Division-champion Florida. Captain John Tavares extended his goal-scoring streak to four games Saturday, but the Islanders fell for the first time in four contests with a 4-3 overtime loss to Buffalo. While coach Jack Capuano has a decision to make as to whether he rests his stars, Philadelphia likely will employ that strategy after the team concluded its grueling push toward the postseason with a 3-1 triumph over Pittsburgh on Saturday. Steve Mason's string of 12 consecutive starts and 17 in 18 outings likely will end in favor of the returning Michal Neuvirth. The former Islanders goaltender, who has served as Mason's backup for each of the last two games, would be making his first start since March 16 due to a knee injury. While Islanders Thomas Greiss answered a four-game skid by yielding just seven goals en route to winning his last four starts. |
|||||||
04-10-16 | Bucks -3.5 v. 76ers | 109-108 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The 76ers have lost 13 of their last 14 overall and eight straight against Milwaukee, including two this season. Robert Covington had 30 points and 11 boards in Friday’s 109-102 loss to New York and has three double-doubles in the last seven contests for Philadelphia. The Bucks are not accustomed to being road chalk, but they were 6-2 ATS during their past eight away matchups. |
|||||||
04-10-16 | Twins v. Royals -155 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Twins turned an 83 win season into a handsome profit last year (+$2250) thanks to generous underdog prices, but KC was a moneymaker as well, racking up a fat profit en route to a World Series title (+$1835). But Minnesota will have a hard time repeating that success, Their pitching looks very shaky and despite their numbers they were well under .500 away from Target Field. Edinson Volquez (+$935 in 33 starts last year) will take his 2nd turn of the year. I like his chances. |
|||||||
04-09-16 | Rangers +109 v. Angels | 4-1 | Win | 109 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units - Texas with Hamels The Angels went 12-7 (+$345) against the eventual division winner when they squared off last year, but I am not comfortable at all with the home team in this spot. While the Angels did turn a profit a Anaheim (+$835),Texas was one of the top road teams in MLB (45-36, +$2550) and they appear nicely positioned to repeat as top team in the AL West. Cole Hamels led them to victories in 10 of his 12 starts after coming over from the Phillies in July (+$760, 3.66 ERA) and he’s on the mound today against an LA team that averaged only 3.9 runs per game vs. lefthanders |
|||||||
04-08-16 | Spurs v. Nuggets -2.5 | 98-102 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units You couldn't ask for a better sandwich spot for the Nuggets. They draw the Spurs after San Antonio just played at Golden State last night. After this matchup, the Spurs host the Warriors on Sunday. Michael Malone has made the Nuggets respectable. |
|||||||
04-08-16 | Pacers v. Raptors +5 | 98-111 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Raptors won at Indiana three weeks ago and have been very strong against good competition at home going 6-1 SU, 5-2 ATS versus good teams since February at Air Canada Centre, including defeating the Hawks twice, Celtics and Heat by a combined 38 points during this span |
|||||||
04-08-16 | Pirates -147 v. Reds | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Reds somehow managed to turn a decent profit against the Pirates in 2015 (+$695) in what was otherwise a thoroughly forgettable season. But they struggled mightily in all settings (- $1990 overall) while averaging a pitiful 3.9 runs per game against lefthanders. Staff ace Francisco Liriano (+$640,3.38 ERA last year) was in top form in the season opener at PNC Park, holding the Cardinals scoreless and picking up his first victory of 2016. Pittsburgh was effective as a visitor (+$730) so I am looking for their big lefty to have another solid effort |
|||||||
04-08-16 | Knicks v. 76ers +3 | 109-102 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Knicks have won all three meetings against the 76ers this season, but their winning margin has shrunk each time going from 12 to 10 to six points in overtime. New York is 1-4 ATS the past five times laying points on the road and last played away from Madison Square Garden on March 30. |
|||||||
04-07-16 | Blues +110 v. Blackhawks | 2-1 | Win | 110 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Although the Central Division title is still up for grabs, the St. Louis Blues can secure home-ice advantage for at least the opening round of the playoffs should they record one point versus the host Chicago Blackhawks today. Brian Elliott has keyed the Blues' surge by posting a 12-1-1 mark with four shutouts and a slim 1.74 goals-against average in his last 14 decisions. Vladimir Tarasenko extended his point streak to six games (three goals, five assists) by scoring and setting up a goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes and has three goals and two assists in the season series versus Chicago. |
|||||||
04-07-16 | Suns v. Rockets -11.5 | 124-115 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rockets are one game behind the eighth-place Utah Jazz and two games behind the seventh-place Mavericks with just four games remaining. Standout guard James Harden had 26 points against Dallas. The lowly Suns have lost seven games in a row after Tuesday's 103-90 loss to the Atlanta Hawks and need to win three of their final four games to avoid the second 60-loss campaign in team annals. |
|||||||
04-07-16 | Raptors +7 v. Hawks | 87-95 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Raptors look to complete a season sweep of Atlanta for the first time in 14 years when they visit the Hawks on Thursday. Toronto won the first three meetings by an average of 8.7 points, including a 105-97 home win on March 30. The Raptors have clinched the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and are close to being locked into the spot as the Cleveland Cavaliers are on pace to sew up the top seed. The Raptors have won seven of the past eight meetings. |
|||||||
04-07-16 | Penguins +112 v. Capitals | 4-3 | Win | 112 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The white-hot Pittsburgh Penguins have seen their high-powered offense propel the club up the ranks in the Eastern Conference. Winners of a season-high seven in a row and 13 of 14, the visiting Penguins attempt to clinch home-ice advantage for their first-round playoff series today should they emerge victorious against the Presidents' Trophy-winning Washington Capitals. Captain Sidney Crosby has keyed the assault as he extended his point streak to seven games (four goals, four assists) with a two-goal performance in Pittsburgh's 5-3 win over Ottawa on Tuesday. The two-time Hart Trophy winner traditionally brings his A-game against rival Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals, recording 54 points (18 goals, 36 assists) in 37 career meetings - including two assists in a 6-2 triumph on March 20. |
|||||||
04-07-16 | Islanders +127 v. Rangers | 4-1 | Win | 127 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Islanders look to complete their first-ever season sweep of the New York Rangers and pull even in points with the cross-town rivals when the clubs meet at Madison Square Garden today. Winners of two in a row and five of their last six, the Islanders clinched a postseason berth for the third time in four seasons with a 4-3 overtime victory over Washington on Tuesday. Captain John Tavares scored a goal and set up two others for the second straight outing and has five tallies and six assists in his last eight contests for the Islanders, who have a game in hand on the third-place Rangers. Tavares has tormented the Rangers throughout his career with 31 points (12 goals, 19 assists) in 34 meetings, including a goal in the Islanders' 2-1 shootout win on Dec. 2 and an assist in both a 3-1 victory on Jan. 14 and a 6-4 triumph on March 6. |

04-05-16 | Blazers -2.5 v. Kings | 115-107 | Win | 100 | 25 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Motivation could prove troublesome for the Kings in April with no playoffs again and George Karl likely not returning. Sacramento had lost 13 of 17 entering the last Sunday of March, including going 1-7 ATS in their last eight at Sleep Train Arena. Among the Kings' home losses during this stretch were to two teams much worse than the Trail Blazers – Pelicans and Magic |
|||||||
04-05-16 | Spurs -3 v. Jazz | 88-86 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz are fighting for a Western Conference playoff spot and it can't be a good feeling to see the San Antonio Spurs coming to town for Tuesday's contest. The Spurs have walloped the Jazz three times this season with the average margin of victory being 26.7 points. San Antonio has won 11 of its past 13 games and is fine-tuning the rotation as its opens a three-game road trip. San Antonio has won 11 of its past 13 games and is fine-tuning the rotation as its opens a three-game road trip. |

04-05-16 | Giants -133 v. Brewers | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 23 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Giants draw a soft opponent to start the year (the Brewers were only 68-94, -$2040 last season) and they have a formidable starter in newly acquired free agent Johnny Cueto as they seek their fourth championship since 2010. Milwaukee’s pitching looks as dismal as ever (4.28 team ERA in 2015), and they dropped 5 of 6 head to head meetings with SF last year (-$405) and got blown out in the opener yesterday. |
|||||||
04-05-16 | Hornets v. Raptors -5.5 | 90-96 | Win | 100 | 21 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Charlotte Hornets have clinched a playoff spot but are still battling over seeding in a tight scrum in the Eastern Conference. The Toronto Raptors, who host the Hornets on Tuesday, are above that fray and appear locked into the No. 2 spot in the East after Charlotte offered them no help on Sunday. The Hornets’ 112-103 loss at Cleveland on Sunday dropped Charlotte into a tie for fifth place in the East while pushing the Cavaliers 3 1/2 games clear of the Raptors. The teams split two meetings this season, with Toronto earning a 104-94 home win on Jan. 1. |
|||||||
04-05-16 | Pelicans +2.5 v. 76ers | 93-107 | Loss | -102 | 22 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New Orleans Pelicans possess their first winning streak in well over a month and have a great chance to extend it to three when they visit the reeling Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. A 106-87 win in Brooklyn on Sunday gave the Pelicans their first set of consecutive victories since a two-game spurt Feb. 19-21, which involved a win over the 76ers. The 76ers, have dropped 12 in a row and still need one win in the final five games to avoid matching their own NBA record for the worst mark in a season (9-73 in 1972-73). |
|||||||
04-05-16 | Red Sox -104 v. Indians | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Red Sox look to get back in the AL East picture with newly acquired ace David Price, who led his teams (Tigers,Blue Jays) to victories in 24 of his 32 starts in 2015 (+$640). He looks good as a visitor vs. the Tribe here at Progressive Field, where the Indians floundered against southpaws (11-17, -$1245, averaging a mere 3.7 runs per game in those contests). |
|||||||
04-04-16 | Cubs -137 v. Angels | 9-0 | Win | 100 | 29 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jake Arrieta was dazzling in 2015, posting a 1.77 ERA in 33 starts (+$1365) en route to Cy Young honors. He’s been nursing a sore thumb this spring, but will be on the mound for the season opener. Chicago was deadly on the road in 2015 (+$1420) and they’ll be taking on an Angels’team that posted the lowest team BA in the AL last year (.246) |
|||||||
04-03-16 | Stars +134 v. Ducks | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Dallas Stars are closing in on the Central Division title and top overall seed in the Western Conference by using a strong finishing kick against a flurry of playoff opponents. Winners of four in a row and seven of its last eight, Dallas looks to complete an impressive back-to-back when it visits the Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim, which has played seven in a row against teams eliminated from playoff contention, squandered a great opportunity to overtake Los Angeles with a 3-2 home loss to Vancouver on Friday. |

04-03-16 | Grizzlies v. Magic -4.5 | 107-119 | Win | 100 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Memphis Grizzlies are limping toward the finish line in the regular season in many ways with five straight losses and nine in the last 11 as they attempt to seal a playoff spot. Memphis lost leading scorer Marc Gasol (foot) for the season and point guard Mike Conley (Achilles) is out indefinitely as the Grizzlies hold down fifth place in the West - four games ahead of ninth-place Houston with six games left. |

04-03-16 | Thunder -3 v. Rockets | 110-118 | Loss | -107 | 3 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oklahoma City Thunder likely took any slight drama out of the race for the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference with a win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday and have won nine of their last 10 games. The Houston Rockets, who host the Thunder today afternoon, are not nearly as secure in their postseason position. The Rockets are fighting with the Dallas Mavericks and the Utah Jazz over the final two spots in the West and did not help themselves with a 103-100 home loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Houston was outscored 32-20 in the fourth quarter against the Bulls and has dropped five of its last seven games to fall below .500, including a 111-107 setback at Oklahoma City on March 22. |

04-03-16 | Mavs -2.5 v. Wolves | 88-78 | Win | 100 | 3 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Dallas Mavericks have vaulted themselves over the Houston Rockets and back into the top eight in the Western Conference while leaning on the defense during a three-game winning streak. The Mavericks will try to make it four straight when they visit the struggling Minnesota Timberwolves today. Dallas allowed an average of 123.3 points during a three-game slide before turning things around completely and yielding 88.7 points in three consecutive wins. The Timberwolves got chewed out by their coach after a 99-79 home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday and weren’t much better in a 98-85 setback at Utah on Friday. |

04-03-16 | Cardinals v. Pirates -122 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 1 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These clubs battled it out in the NL Central in 2015, posting the two best records in MLB while leading the league in pitching (Cards 2.94 ERA,Bucs 3.21). Pittsburgh was outstanding in day games here at PNC Park, winning 15 of 16 (+$1400, averaging 5.2 runs per game) and they no doubt catch a decent price in the opener. St. Louis was ineffective in day games outside of Busch Stadium (-$410, averaging just 3.5 runs per game). |
