06-10-16 | Orioles +125 v. Blue Jays | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 16 m | Show | |
Baltimore Orioles +125 The Orioles and Blue Jays continue their weekend series and it's Baltimore at plus money that has the value here. Toronto just hasn't been able to figure things out. They continue to find ways to lose games and have failed to put together any sort of winning streak this season. Baltimore meanwhile, has found their groove once again. Baltimore is 8-1 in June and has won 5 straight overall. They have dominated the AL East inside that span, winning 5 of their 6 games against them. One of those included is Thursday's come from behind 6-5 win over Toronto. Baltimore goes with Kevin Gausman here. The RH comes in off a solid showing where he allowed 1 run in 6.0 innings of work against the Yankees. The last time he faced the Jays was back in 2015, but he struck out 10 in the process. Baltimore's offense is picking things up too. Over the 5 game winning streak, they have outscored the opposition 26-8. Some trends to consider. Orioles are 6-0 in their last 6 vs. a team with a winning record. Orioles are 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win. Baltimore is playing solid baseball right now. Given the price here, this is a spot where they have value. Back Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play |

06-10-16 | France -1.5 v. Romania | 2-1 | Loss | -103 | 76 h 20 m | Show | |
France -1.5 -103 The hosts open up play on Friday in Euro 2016 and are worth a play here laying the -1.5. France comes into Euro 2016 with some solid momentum. They went 4-0 in their friendly matches, which includes wins over Netherlands, Russia, and Cameroon. They're in top form right now and will get the home crowd to feed off of for this one. Antoine Griezmann and Paul Rogba lead a talented bunch that is very stingy on the defensive end and can turn nothing into something offensively. Given how many weapons this team has up front, they strike at any minute. Romania comes into this one certainly not a pushover. However, this team is 1 or maybe even 2 steps below the French. They don't have many weapons up front that can cause the France back line many problems, which means they'll be able to push forward and really put some attack on. This is the kind of game where France will control the possession throughout. They will be able to wear this Romanian defense down and start to find some gaps as the game goes on. Given that, this is a spot where France is worth the play. With being the hosts and starting this tournament off, the French will come out inspired and ready to go in this one. Expect them to hold a clean sheet here, with 2 or 3 goals coming from them. Back France -1.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* EURO 2016 ATS Play |

06-09-16 | Sharks v. Penguins OVER 5 | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 35 m | Show | |
San Jose vs. Pittsburgh Over 5 The Sharks try to fend off their season ending while the Penguins look to hoist the cup, as the two teams meet in Game 5 on Thursday. With everything on the line, the Over holds good value here. This series has been about as close as you can get. San Jose has had their chances just like Pittsburgh has thus far. With their backs firmly against the wall here and on the road, expect San Jose to come out firing in this one. They'll be extremely aggressive early, to try and take the crowd out of it and steal some momentum. With that, Pittsburgh could be open to many early counter attacks. San Jose has also flourished in Game 5's. They are 3-0 this postseason, with two of those coming on the road. This team is plenty experienced to find the back of as well. They were averaging 3.5 goals per game this postseason prior to this series. Don't expect them to be any kind of tentative here in this one. As for the Penguins, they will have plenty of open looks. San Jose will continue to push forward and try for that momentum, which will leave them exposed in the back. Pittsburgh is very talented with many goal scorers, which should bode well for them. Some trends to consider. Over is 9-2-2 in Penguins last 13 Thursday games. Over is 5-1-1 in Sharks last 7 Thursday games. Given the circumstances of the game, this will be back and forth with a lot of action. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NHL O/U Play |

06-09-16 | Mets +100 v. Brewers | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
New York Mets ML The New York Mets certainly have some question marks right now, but they are still underpriced here. Bartolo Colon has been solid this year. He went through a rough patch where everyone wanted to write him off, but he has bounced back and pitched well again lately. New York has a big advantage in the bullpen, and the Mets also have a better defense than the Brewers. Those are two areas that are often overlooked by bettors. Milwaukee has been competitive so far this year, but the Brewers have no business being favored by this amount against a contender like New York. The Mets offense is a question mark now, but they have still been getting timely hitting from backups and finding ways to scrape across some runs. Milwaukee's Jimmy Nelson isn't a trustworthy guy, and the pen supporting him is weak. Some betting trends to consider. The Mets are 8-3 in Colon's last 11 road starts. The Mets are 4-0 in the last 4 games between these two teams. Take New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* MLB ML Play |

06-09-16 | Pirates v. Rockies OVER 11.5 | 5-11 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh vs. Colorado Over 11.5 The Pirates and Rockies meet inside Coors Field Thursday afternoon and the total holds solid value on the Over. This matchup features two pitchers who are simply struggling and coming off bad performances. Pittsburgh goes with Jeff Locke here, who sits with a 4.28 ERA on the season. Locke gave up 2 home runs in an 8-7 win over Los Angeles as he continues to struggle with keeping the ball in the ballpark. That doesn't bode well for him as he goes here inside the thin air of Coors Field. Locke has struggled on the road as he sits with an ERA above 4.5. For the Rockies, they send out Chad Bettis. Sitting with a 5.58 ERA, Bettis allowed 10 hits and 4 runs to the Padres last time out. In only 8.1 innings of work over his last two starts, Bettis has allowed 13 runs. At home he currently has compiled an ERA of 5.70. Some trends to consider. Over is 5-1 in Rockies last 6 home games. Over is 20-7-4 in Lockes last 31 road starts. Factoring in Coors Field and that thin air, this is a game where both pitchers will struggle to keep the ball in the ballpark. Given that, this total should be expected to fly Over. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play |

06-08-16 | Indians +100 v. Mariners | 0-5 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 30 m | Show | |
Cleveland Indians +100 Taijuan Walker hasn't been good at all in his last few starts. He has routinely been giving up 4 runs or more and not getting deep into the game. The Mariners bullpen is very good, but they are getting overworked of late. Carlos Carrasco has been superb on the road over the course of his career. His ERA is more than a run better on the road than at home in his career. Carrasco had a 2.49 ERA on the road last year, and in two starts this year he has a 0.84 road ERA. The Indians are playing some good baseball right now, and they have a clear pitching edge in this one. Seattle's bats have cooled off a bit in recent games. Carrasco is coming off a recent injury, but he appears to be healthy. This price is more than fair. A couple betting trends of note. Cleveland is 7-0 in Carrasco's last 7 road starts vs. a team with a winning home record. Seattle is 0-4 in Walker's last 4 starts. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play |

06-08-16 | Marlins +100 v. Twins | 5-7 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
Miami Marlins +100 The Marlins lost a heartbreaker on Tuesday and are in the perfect bounce back spot here on Wednesday. They hold a solid edge in the pitching matchup and at this price, this is a solid move here. The Marlins go with Wei-Yen Chen. The LH has gone 2-1 with an ERA of only 2.73 over his last 5 starts against the Twins. He's been really able to keep the big inning off the board and has had his secondary pitchers really working. On the road this season, Chen has gone 2-1 with an ERA of only 2.96. The Twins go with Ricky Nolasco. He's struggled all season long, sitting with a record of 2-4 and an ERA of 4.93. Nolasco has really struggled at Target Field too. He sits with an 0-2 record while posting an ERA of 6.23 over a 5 start span. Miami continues to stay within distance in the NL East, but these are the kinds of series' they have to take advantage of. Minnesota has been a bad team this year and losing to them in back to back games is not what a contender can afford. Some trends to consider. Marlins are 5-1 in their last 6 Wednesday games. Marlins are 6-2 in their last 8 games following a loss. This is a nice spot and price for Miami. Look for them to really have an edge here and come away on top. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* MLB ML Play |

06-08-16 | Mets -135 v. Pirates | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
New York Mets -135 The Mets were swept away in a doubleheader on Tuesday and look to bounce back with one of the best pitchers in baseball here. Noah Syndergaard gets the ball trying to play the stopper here. He's started this season by going 6-2 with an ERA of only 1.91. He's had the ability to strike batters out as he sits at 90 on the season in 70.2 innings of work. Pittsburgh will call up Jameson Taillon for this one. He will making his major league debut and this start will prove a lot of pressure for him. Taillon was drafted back in 2010, right between Bryce Harper and Manny Machado. Knowing that, he certainly has a lot of pressure on himself to perform. Going up against an angry Mets offense may not be the best case scenario in his first MLB start. Pittsburgh could be without a giant offensive weapon as well. Starling Castro left the first game on Tuesday with an ankle injury and missed the nightcap. He's a big part of that offense and it would be a big blow not to have him in the lineup. Some trends to consider. Mets are 14-2 in their last 16 vs. National League Central. Mets are 16-7 in their last 23 road games vs. a team with a winning record. New York certainly struggled yesterday. However, with Syndergaard on the hill, this is a prime spot and a prime price to back them. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play |

06-07-16 | Red Sox -114 v. Giants | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
Boston Red Sox ML The San Francisco Giants offense isn't as good without Hunter Pence. He's proven to be a key cog in the past, and that is the same case this year. Boston has a big lineup advantage in this one, and they also have the proven pitcher on the mound in Rick Porcello. While Porcello isn't anything great, his recent results have been poor primarily because he has been up against great offenses in parks that are tough on pitchers. That won't be the case tonight. San Francisco is a great pitcher's park, and this Giants lineup has been very inconsistent. The Giants don't know what they are going to get out of Suarez, and this is a really tough spot for him up against the Red Sox amazing lineup. Boston has the best offense in the majors right now. San Francisco's bullpen is weaker than Boston's as well, and the price here is cheap on the road team. Some betting trends to consider. Boston is 8-2 in their last 10 interleague games. Boston is 4-1 in their last 5 games in San Francisco. Take Boston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

06-07-16 | Marlins -108 v. Twins | 4-6 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
Miami Marlins -108 The Marlins and Twins begin a weekday series and Miami holds solid value here. The Twins have been a fade all season long. This Minnesota team is just 9-18 at home and has one of the worst pitching staffs in the American League. Over their last 7 contests, the Twins are allowing 37 runs. On the season, this team has a staff ERA above 5. They send out Pat Dean here, who is right up there in the struggles. Dean boasts a 1-2 record with a 4.15 ERA. His biggest issue has been keeping the ball in the ballpark. It is now 4 straight starts that he has allowed at least 1 home run. Miami counters with Adam Conley, who is pitching at a high level right now. Conley took a no hit bid into the 6th inning of his last start and has been great on the road. Conley is 2-0 with an ERA of 2.93 away from Miami. He's been the opposite of Dean as he has kept the ball in the ballpark, allowing 1 home run in 30.2 innings of work on the road. Some trends to consider. Marlins are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Marlins are 8-2 in their last 10 games vs. a left-handed starter. Given the Twins struggles this is a nice price on the Marlins. Expect them to get to Dean early and get a solid start from Conley. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB ML Play |

06-07-16 | Cardinals -1.5 v. Reds | 6-7 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 +103 The Cardinals and Reds begin a weekday series and St. Louis on the RL is a nice valuable play here. The Reds have been an automatic fade when it comes to their pitching. This team allowed 10 runs on Sunday to the Nationals and has allowed well above 5 runs per game. When these two teams met earlier this season, Cincinnati pitching allowed 26 runs in a 3 game series. That doesn't bode well for them as the Cardinals are the 2nd best team in the majors in terms of scoring. Cincinnati ends out John Lamb who has been a struggle this season. With just a 1-3 record, Lamb holds a 5.58 ERA. He's been knocked around on numerous occasions and fails to give the Reds any length. He turns it over to one of the worst bullpens in baseball way too early in the game. Mike Leake will go for the Cardinals and he has been improving with every start. Leake has won in 4 of his last 5 starts and is throwing the ball much better than earlier this season. Some trends to consider. Cardinals are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter. Cardinals are 15-6 in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. St. Louis has a significant edge with the pitching matchup. Given that along with how good their offense is, the RL is definitely worth a move. Back St. Louis RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

06-06-16 | Penguins +116 v. Sharks | 3-1 | Win | 116 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh Penguins +116 The Penguins and Sharks have played the closest series through the first three games and this is a spot where everything is up for grabs. Pittsburgh has been stellar in these kinds of situations, making this a solid spot to back Pittsburgh at plus money. Pittsburgh's goalie Matt Murray has been dominant after losses this postseason. He has gone a perfect 4-0 and has allowed just 8 goals combined, turning away 106 of the 114 shots faced. Pittsburgh held the lead in Game 3 heading into the 3rd, but coughed that up thanks to an unfortunate goal allowed by Matt Murray. While all 3 of these games have been close, Pittsburgh has had their chances to close them out. Shot differential has been the biggest key for the Pens. They're averaging 35.4 shots per game and have now gone 12 straight games with outshooting their opponents. They continue to try and find good chances off rebounds and by creating traffic in front of goal, which has worked. Some trends to consider. Penguins are 4-0 in their last 4 Monday games. Penguins are 21-5 in their last 26 games playing on 1 days rest. The Penguins have looked better than the Sharks and this is a spot to put the foot on the gas and take complete control of this series. Back Pittsburgh. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NHL ML Play |

06-06-16 | Royals v. Orioles OVER 9 | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
Kansas City vs. Baltimore Over 9 +116 The Royals and Orioles start off a weekday series and the Over here has solid value as we get two pitchers who are struggling right now. Danny Duffy will go for the Royals. He will be making just his 5th start and while he has a 1-0 record, he really hasn't shown much. He's failed to give the Royals length and quality, getting knocked around by teams like the Twins. Duffy doesn't have anything overpowering and won't strike many guys out. That doesn't bode well when you're playing a team like Baltimore in a hitters park. Baltimore will go with Mike Wright here. He has been a struggle this season, posting an ERA of 5.88. Wright was sent to Triple A, but found his way back in thanks to an injury. He has been a mess all season long and was knocked around by the Royals for for 5 runs in 6.1 innings of work. Some trends to consider. Over is 10-2-1 in Royals last 13 overall. Over is 18-6-2 in Orioles last 26 vs. a team with a winning record. Given both pitchers struggles, this is a perfect spot to expect a lot of run scoring opportunities. With that, the Over has solid value. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* MLB O/U Play |

06-05-16 | Cavs +6.5 v. Warriors | 77-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers +6.5 The Cavaliers and Warriors get set for Game 2 and it's Cleveland with value here. The Cavs know going down 2-0 to a team like Golden State is never a good idea. Cleveland was in Game 1 for 3 quarters and actually held the lead briefly before the Warriors pulled away. It was encouraging though how they slowed down Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. The Cavs defense was stellar on them, holding the duo to just 20 points. It was the Warriors bench that made all the difference. Don't expect Shaun Livingston to shoot lights out like he did in Game 1. Cleveland's bench will also be a difference maker here. They had just 10 points in Game 1, but that will change here in Game 2. Tyrone Lue will give Channing Frye significantly more minutes, as he offers a much different look and will cause the Warriors a lot of fits as he can shoot from the outside. Some trends to consider. Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Cavaliers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Pacific. Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love were all aggressive in Game 1. Look for them to certainly have that same mentality and even turn it up a notch here. With that, the Cavs have the value. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

06-05-16 | Giants +134 v. Cardinals | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 35 m | Show | |
San Francisco Giants +134 The Giants and Cardinals are featured on Sunday Night Baseball and it's the visitors who have value here. Carlos Martinez should not be this high of a favorite. He's posted a 5.03 ERA at home this season and has struggled against the Giants in his career. He's gone 1-1, but has an ERA of 5.40 in three career appearances. On the Giants side of things, Jake Peavy is coming off his best start. Peavy went 7 scoreless while allowing just 1 hit against the Braves. It was the perfect start for him as he really gained his confidence back and gained confidence with his secondary stuff. San Francisco has been stellar on the road this season too. Despite the loss yesterday, they have gone 19-12 on the road and are scoring 4.5 runs per game while conceding under 4. Some trends to consider. Giants are 5-0 in their last 5 games following a loss. Giants are 7-1 in their last 8 during game 3 of a series. At this listed price, San Francisco is worth the move. They are a better team and actually have a slight edge in the pitching matchup. Back San Francisco. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

06-05-16 | Blue Jays v. Red Sox -111 | 5-4 | Loss | -111 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Boston Red Sox ML The Boston Red Sox host the Toronto Blue Jays Sunday afternoon. Toronto is without Troy Tulowitzki and now Josh Donaldson is injured as well. He couldn't play Saturday and he is questionable for Sunday's game. Even if he plays, he won't be 100 percent. Marco Estrada isn't a bad pitcher, but it takes more than a mediocre pitcher to shut down this Boston lineup this year. The Red Sox are absolutely crushing the baseball, and they are especially hard to slow down on their home field. Toronto is still getting a little too much credit from the oddsmakers against lefties because of what they did last year. The Blue Jays rank in the bottom half of the league against left handed starters this season. Eduardo Rodriguez has a high upside and Boston has the better bullpen as well. A couple trends of note here. Boston is 6-0 in their last 6 Sunday games. The Red Sox are 8-1 in Rodriguez's last 9 home starts. Toronto is 1-4 in Estrada's last 5 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Take Boston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB ML Play |

06-04-16 | Mariners -115 v. Rangers | 4-10 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
Seattle Mariners ML The Seattle Mariners offense has been on fire of late. While they were temporarily cooled off by Yu Darvish yesterday, they should get things going again on Saturday night against Martin Perez. Darvish has elite stuff and can shut down any lineup. Perez is a middle of the road pitcher that the Mariners should hit hard. Seattle has the best batting average in the majors in the past 10 days. The Mariners are getting production from the entire lineup, and they are putting together some huge innings. Remember, Texas is a hitters park where we can see some huge scores put up, and Seattle is well equipped to win a game like that. A key advantage for Seattle over Texas is their bullpen. The Texas bullpen is weak, but Seattle has several go to guys who can be trusted in the key situations. Nate Karns has been underappreciated by oddsmakers all year long. A couple betting trends of note. The Mariners are 8-1 in Karns' last 9 starts. The Rangers are 4-10 in Perez's last 14 starts. Take Seattle. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB ML Play |

06-04-16 | Penguins v. Sharks -130 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 28 h 22 m | Show | |
San Jose Sharks -130 The Sharks were on the unfortunate end of two close games and now have their backs against the wall as they head into San Jose here. San Jose opens as favorites here and have value with this juice. San Jose had a similar series with the Predators earlier this postseason. The home team won on all 7 occasions with the Sharks being on the beneficial end of the Game 7 home ice. San Jose has proven this postseason that not only are they real good at home, but they're also not phased. They have bounced back time and time again and won big games time and time again as they continue to impress. Down 2-0 is nothing for this team to overcome. Look for the offense and Joe Pavelski to much different here. Pavelski hasn't served much of a purpose through the first two games of this series. This is the type of game where star players put their team's on their back and make a difference. Some trends to consider. Sharks are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Sharks are 8-1 in their last 9 games playing on 2 days rest. Look for a very motivated and very aggressive Sharks team to come out here, as they are worth a play at this price. Back San Jose. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NHL ML Play |

06-04-16 | Giants -118 v. Cardinals | 4-7 | Loss | -118 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
San Francisco Giants -118 The Giants have been road warriors lately and lay low juice here against a pitcher to fade. San Francisco has gone 12-3 over their past 15 road games which includes a 5-1 series win in the opener. Overall, the Giants remain hot, winning 18 of their last 22 games. San Francisco sends out Jeff Samardzija in this one. The Giants RH is a stellar 7-3 on the season with an ERA of 2.84. He is a very respectable 3-2 in his career against the Cardinals. For the Cardinals, they go with Michael Wacha, who is reeling right now. Wacha is just 2-6 with a 4.99 ERA. He has dropped 6 straight decisions and isn't giving this team any length. He's failed to pitch into the 6th inning now in 5 straight outings. Some trends to consider. Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 Saturday games. Giants are 8-1 in their last 9 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game. Giants starting pitching is 13-2 with a 1.64 ERA over the past 22 games. Given their success, this is a spot where Samardzija should be able to continue that trend. Back San Francisco. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB ML Play |

06-04-16 | Mets -108 v. Marlins | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
New York Mets -108 The Mets and Marlins continue their weekend series and it's New York who holds value here at this price. Bartolo Colon continues to impress. He has turned in back to back solid outings as he has allowed 3 runs over a 2 start span. His career numbers against the Marlins get even more impressive. Colon holds a record of 7-4 with a 2.92 ERA. Justin Nicolino goes for the Marlins in this one. The LH is 2-3 with a 4.50 ERA on the season. He has taken a few steps back, going 0-3 over his past 5 starts. Miami's offense continues to labor too. They have scored just 12 runs over a 5 game span. This team doesn't have much depth to work with and when the middle of the order is struggling, the rest of the lineup tends to feed off that. As for the Mets, they broke out for 6 runs in the series opener, which was a nice sight for them. They had been struggling too, but they get to run into a string of bad pitchers for the Marlins, which could help them break out of their funk. Some trends to consider. Mets are 16-5 in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Mets are 21-7 in their last 28 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Given the Mets success on the road and the edge in the pitching matchup here, this is a solid price for them on Saturday. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* MLB ML Play |

06-03-16 | Rays -113 v. Twins | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay Rays -113 The Rays and Twins continue their weekend series and it's Tampa Bay who holds value in this spot. Tampa Bay fell in the series opener as they blew leads on two separate occasions as they continue to try and find some momentum. The good news for them though is this Twins team is bad. Winning back to back games for them has been a rare occurrence this season. The Rays also get a solid edge pitching wise here. Jake Odorizzi takes the hill for Tampa. He's been on the bad end of some offensive support as he has allowed 2 runs or less in 8 of 11 outings this season. He ended his 2 game winning streak last time out despite going 6 no hit innings against the Yankees. He's pitching extremely well and has his secondary stuff working great. On the Twins side of things, Ricky Nolasco is struggling with a 5.28 ERA. He has been a mess in his career against Tampa Bay, going 3-5 with an ERA of 7.33 in 8 career starts. Some trends to consider. Rays are 8-3 in their last 11 during game 2 of a series. Twins are 1-5 in Nolascos last 6 starts. At the end of the day, the Twins are still a really bad team. Given Nolasco's struggles, this is a solid price to back Tampa Bay at. Back the Rays. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB ML Play |

06-03-16 | White Sox v. Tigers -127 | 3-10 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
Detroit Tigers -127 The Tigers and White Sox renew their AL Central rivalry here on Friday and it's the home team in Detroit who has solid value here. The White Sox have tapered off a bit despite taking a few games in New York as they saw their big AL Central lead vanish. Chicago has been a struggle lately overall as they've dropped 15 of their last 21 games. They've won just 1 out of their last 8 series, with that one being against the Mets. Pitching wise, the Tigers get the edge here too. They send out Jordan Zimmerman, who is well rested and back to 100% after missing his last start. Zimmerman has a solid 7-2 record with a 2.52 ERA on the season. He is 1-0 in his career against the White Sox. Chicago goes with Carlos Rodon. He sits with just a 2-4 record and has a 4 plus ERA as he continues to try and find it. He sits with a 1-2 record with a 3.69 against Detroit in his career. Some trends to consider. Tigers are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. Tigers are 6-2 in their last 8 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. Given Zimmerman's success and how well rested he is, this is a solid chance for Detroit to get back into the AL Central race. Look for them to have the clear cut advantage on Friday. Back Detroit.

06-03-16 | Mets -1.5 v. Marlins | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
New York Mets -1.5 Noah Syndergaard has been the second best pitcher in baseball this year (Clayton Kershaw at the top spot). Syndergaard's numbers are absolutely ridiculous. He has a 1.84 ERA and he is striking out 11.5 guys every nine innings. Most strikeout pitchers like that also walk a lot of guys, but Syndergaard is walking only 1.27 batters for every nine innings pitched. Pure dominance from Thor. The Miami Marlins have been struggling offensively in the last few days, and I find it hard to believe that facing Syndergaard will allow them to get on track. Yelich and Stanton are still less than 100 percent and those guys are the key to this offense. Tom Koehler starts here for Miami, and he is definitely a subpar right handed pitcher. The Mets offense has been inconsistent this year, but Koehler has been consistently getting hit hard lately. The Mets have a huge bullpen advantage in this game as well. A couple betting trends of note. The Mets are 19-7 in their last 26 following an off day. The Marlins are 1-5 in Koehler's last 6 starts. Take New York -1.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray.

06-02-16 | Cavs v. Warriors OVER 209 | 89-104 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 34 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors Over 209 The Warriors and Cavaliers start off the NBA Finals with Game 1 Thursday night and the Over has solid value here. First off, Cleveland has been a deadly team from three point range. Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, Channing Frye, JR Smith, and Iman Shumpert are just a few of the players who can hit threes on this team. They have really surrounded their postseason game on the ability to shoot the three. For the Warriors, they too aren't afraid to hoist the 3 ball obviously. From Curry to Thompson to Green, this team will jack them up at massive rates and make a lot of them when they get hot. These two teams played in last years title game, which was a gritty and hard fought series. This season, Cleveland has their health back. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are both 100% healthy, which will make a giant difference offensively obviously. Some trends to consider. Over is 9-4 in Cavaliers last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Over is 8-3 in Cavaliers last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Given how good both offenses shoot, combined with the hype in this game, this total has a lot of value on the Over. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA O/U Play |

06-02-16 | Reds v. Rockies OVER 11.5 | Top | 11-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
Cincinnati vs. Colorado Over 11.5 The Reds and Rockies conclude their weekday series and this Over has a ton of value on it. Anytime Alfredo Simon takes the mound, the Over has value. When he takes the mound at Coors Field, that Over has way more value. Simon has struggled all season long. Simon has had outings where he's allowed 10 runs and 8 runs on another occasion. Overall, he sits with an ERA of 9.60. His numbers against Colorado are horrible too. In 7 career appearances he has an ERA of 7.47. For the Reds, they send out Eddie Butler. He hasn't been consistent at all this season and has been just as bad inside Coors Field as Simon has been against the Rockies. Butler is 3-5 with a 6.75 ERA there. Some trends to consider. Over is 20-7-1 in Reds last 28 vs. a team with a losing record. Over is 8-2 in Rockies last 10 overall. Both these teams have been tearing the cover off the ball this series. Given the Coors Field thin air, along with two horrible starting pitchers, this total can't get high enough. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 10* MLB TOP PLAY |

06-01-16 | Reds v. Rockies -1.5 | 7-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
Colorado -1.5 The Cincinnati Reds send John Lamb to the mound here, and he has been terrible this year. He has an ERA over 6 and his ERA is over 15 in two road starts. Colorado should knock him out of the game early. Cincinnati's bullpen is easily the worst in baseball, and the Rockies showed how they can thrash the Reds bullpen in last night's 17-4 win. The Rockies can pile up the Runs at Coors Field, and the Reds are the perfect opponent for them to do it against. Tyler Chatwood has a solid ERA under 4 this year. The Reds are weak against right handed pitchers. Brandon Phillips is questionable for this one with an injury. In a game with a high total like this one, the run line has some extra value. The Reds have made a habit out of getting blown out this year. I think it happens again here. Back Colorado -1.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play |

06-01-16 | Sharks +120 v. Penguins | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
San Jose Sharks +120 The Sharks and Penguins play in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals and the visitors have value in this one. The Sharks erased a 2-0 hole in Game 1, but allowed a late goal with just 2:33 left to put themselves in a 1-0 series hole. San Jose proved they do have exactly what it takes to compete with this team. San Jose has responded in a big way to postseason losses. They are currently 5-1 following a loss with their lone loss coming in overtime to Nashville. The Sharks have rarely trailed in a series here in the playoffs and this is a spot where they should be able to bounce back. They have been the best road team as well overall. San Jose is 33-13-4-1 away from home, as they've shown the ability to steal any road game here in the playoffs. Some trends to consider. Sharks are 8-1 in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Sharks are 4-1 in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. San Jose has the value here. This team is right there with the Penguins and at plus money, combined with how good they are on the road, this is a solid back. Back San Jose. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NHL ML Play |

06-01-16 | Pirates v. Marlins OVER 8.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh vs. Miami Over 8.5 The Pirates and Marlins continue their 4 game set on Wednesday and we get two struggling pitchers here, which makes the Over a very nice play. The Pirates send out Jonathon Niese, who sits with an ERA of 4.42. He's seen a lot of Miami in his career, but has never really found much consistency against them. In 18 career appearances, Niese has an ERA of 4.18 against Miami. Miami will go with Adam Conley. He sits with a 4.15 ERA and was knocked around a few starts ago. Conley allowed 6 runs on 7 hits and walked 7 in a loss to Washington. While he did bounce back against Atlanta, he still has proven he struggles when it comes to good offenses. This Pittsburgh offense has the ability to string together many hits and can even provide some power with a big blow from their bats in the middle. Some trends to consider. Over is 8-2 in Pirates last 10 games vs. a left-handed starter. Over is 18-7-1 in Marlins last 26 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game. Given both pitchers struggles and how good both offenses can be, this total is worth a look on the Over. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play |

06-01-16 | Rangers v. Indians -105 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Cleveland Indians -105 The Indians try to avoid the sweep here on Wednesday night and this is a spot where they hold solid value. Cleveland held first place briefly, before dropping 3 straight games. This team has relied heavily on their starting pitching, but through this streak they have been knocked around. They send out Trevor Bauer here, who has put together a couple good starts lately. Over his last 3, two of his starts have been quality starts. Bauer will be pitching with a bit of a chip on his shoulder as well. With Carrasco coming back on Thursday, he will get a chance to stay in the rotation. He was put in the bullpen at the start of this season and was clearly unpleased. This is his chance to put the brakes on an Indians losing streak and really showcase what kind of stuff he has. The Rangers send Cole Hamels to the hill. In 10 career innings against Cleveland, Hamels has allowed 11 runs on 14 hits. Some trends to consider. Indians are 6-2 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Indians are 28-12 in their last 40 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. This is a very nice bounce back spot here for Cleveland. They get their division rivals Kansas City for 4 starting tomorrow, so gaining some kind of momentum is crucial. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* MLB ML Play |

05-31-16 | Tigers v. Angels -102 | 9-11 | Win | 100 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Angels ML Anibal Sanchez has been garbage this year. He has an ERA over 6 and all of his advanced statistics suggest it hasn't been bad luck, he's just been terrible. The Los Angeles Angels offense has ranked in the top half of baseball in the past two weeks. Mike Trout is doing his normal thing, and guys like C.J. Cron and Kole Calhoun are hitting the ball very well right now also. Hector Santiago was hit hard in his last start at Texas, but a lot of pitchers get hit hard in Texas. He comes back home here to face a team that he has been great against. In his career, Santiago has a great 2.44 ERA against Detroit in 14 total appearances. The market has come in on the Tigers here. While the Tigers have a good offense, I have no interest in backing Anibal Sanchez. Instead, let's go with the home team at the nice price. A couple betting trends of note. The Angels are 12-4 in Santiago's last 16 starts. The Tigers are 0-5 in Sanchez's last 5 starts. Take Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

05-31-16 | Rays -118 v. Royals | 5-10 | Loss | -118 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay -118 The Rays and Royals continue their series and it's the Tampa Bay who holds solid value here in this one. Tampa Bay gets a major edge in the pitching matchup. They send out Drew Smyly in this one. The LH has been absolutely dominant in his career against these Royals. Smyly has gone 4-1 with an ERA of just 2.70 in 13 career appearances (5 starts). With the amount of injuries Kansas City has sustained lately, this is a nice spot for him to be able to get into an early rhythm. Kansas City sends out Dillion Gee. He's struggled mightily this season and his last start was horrible. The Twins knocked him around for 6 runs and 10 hits in 4.0 innings of work. He doesn't have very overpowering stuff and has struggled with his command and location this season. Some trends to consider. Rays are 9-2 in their last 11 Tuesday games. Rays are 8-2 in their last 10 during game 2 of a series. Given the circumstances here with this pitching matchup, Tampa Bay at this price is a very nice play. Back Tampa Bay. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

05-31-16 | Giants -130 v. Braves | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
San Francisco Giants -130 The Giants head into Atlanta here on Tuesday night and the visitors are the move here. Atlanta has been an absolute fade this season. The Braves are just 5-21 SU at home and they've been horrible in both pitching and hitting. They are averaging just 3.15 runs per game while conceding 4.88. On the other side of things, the Giants have been a solid road team to work with. San Francisco has gone 16-10 while scoring over 4.5 runs per road game. San Francisco sends out Jake Peavy, who is certainly starting to improve. He allowed just 1 run on 6 hits in 6.2 innings of work against the Padres last time out. That came after a start where he allowed 1 run on just 3 hits in 6.0 innings of work against the Diamondbacks. Peavy is starting to figure things out here and against an offense that doesn't manufacture many runs, this is a nice spot here for him to continue his improvement. Some trends to consider. Giants are 5-1 in their last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Giants are 9-2 in their last 11 road games. With how well the Giants are playing on the road, combined with Peavy and his massive improvements, the Giants at this price are worth the move. Back San Francisco. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

05-30-16 | Tigers -113 v. Angels | 1-5 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
Detroit Tigers -113 The Tigers head into Los Angeles here on Monday night and it's the visitors who have the value here. Justin Verlander has won back to back starts and he's looking like the Verlander of old. He threw 8.0 scoreless innings last time out and struck out 10 in a victory. He's got his secondary pithes working and as the game moves along he just gets stronger and stronger. The real key here is the Angels and their starter Jhoulys Chacin. He sits with a 5 plus ERA and and just hasn't really found it yet. Going up against this Tigers lineup that is so deep and powerful is going to be a task that he isn't up for. Given that Detroit's lineup should have a lot of success against Chacin, that doesn't bode well for an Angels team that is extremely inconsistent offensively. With the exception of Trout and Pujols, the Angels really don't have any other reliable hitters. Some trends to consider. Tigers are 5-2 in their last 7 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. Tigers are 7-3 in their last 10 games vs. a right-handed starter. Given Verlander and his dominance as of late, at this price, it's just too valuable to pass up. Back Detroit. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* MLB ML Play |

05-30-16 | Rays v. Royals UNDER 8 | 2-6 | Push | 0 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
Rays vs. Royals Under 8 Matt Andriese and Ian Kennedy might not be top of the line pitchers, but they are both serviceable. While Tampa Bay did get hot for a little while in recent weeks, this Rays offense isn't very good. I expect them to cool back off. The Royals offense is severely limited now thanks to injuries. They are without Moustakas, Gordon, Perez, and others. Kansas City is going to struggle to score the way they have in the past. Even before these guys went down with injuries, the Royals offense wasn't clicking very well this year. Tampa Bay's bullpen is improved, and obviously Kansas City has a fantastic bullpen. Additionally, both teams have good defenses, and great plays by the defenses here could certainly help keep this one under the total. A couple trends of note for this one. The under is 3-1-1 in Andriese's last 5 starts. The under is 5-2-2 in Kennedy's last 9 starts. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB O/U Play |

05-29-16 | Dodgers v. Mets +1.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
New York Mets +1.5 +112 The Mets and Dodgers are featured on Sunday Night Baseball and the home team grabbing the run and a half are worth the move here. New York has been a solid team at home this year inside Citi Field. They hold a record of 14-9 as they hold the opposition to just 3.5 runs per game. Their pitching staff is obviously impressive and they send out Bartolo Colon here in this one. He comes in on a high note, as he shut down the Nats in a 7-1 win. He's pitching with solid confidence all season long which has led to a lot of success. The Dodgers do send out Clayton Kershaw here. The LH has been about as dominant as one can be, but his team has struggled on the road at times. They're conceding 4.60 runs per game away from Los Angeles. New York also has plenty of motivation here. The two teams got into on Saturday as they simply do not like one another. Some trends to consider. Mets are 4-1 in their last 5 home games. Mets are 6-2 in their last 8 overall. The Mets have played well at home and grabbing a run and a half with plus money is certainly worth a play here. Back New York RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* MLB RL Play |

05-29-16 | Marlins v. Braves -125 | 7-3 | Loss | -125 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
Atlanta Braves -125 It's a rare occasion to back the Braves when they're laying any sort of juice, but in this instance, they're worth the price. Atlanta hasn't played well this season, except when they see the Miami Marlins. They have averaged 5.8 runs per game against them and improved to 5-0 with Saturday's 7-2 victory. They'll send out their best pitcher in Julio Teheran. Over his last 7 starts, Teheran has posted an ERA of 1.17. In that span he's allowed just 6 runs and has a strikeout to walk ratio of 45-6. He's been the unfortunate end of the Braves horrific offense, thus why his record isn't better. Tom Koehler takes the hill here for Miami. He's been a mess this year and was knocked around last time out allowing 6 runs in 3.2 innings of work. There just hasn't been any sort of consistency or rhythm to Koehler. Free passes have also been a major problem for him as well. Some trends to consider. Braves are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. National League East. Atlanta hasn't been good, but for some reason they are up for the challenge of the Miami Marlins. Given Teheran on the hill today, they are worth the move. Back Atlanta. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

05-28-16 | Astros -129 v. Angels | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 54 m | Show | |
Houston Astros -129 The Astros head into Los Angeles here on Saturday night and the visitors hold value here. Houston goes with Dallas Keuchel. Yes he's been bad this year, but Houston is starting to figure themselves out right now. In order for them to take the next step, Keuchel must step up and get back to his old self. He has had great success in his career against the Angels, going 7-2 with an ERA of 3.86. The Angels will go with Jared Weaver here. He's struggled himself, as his ERA sits well above 5. He has dropped 3 of his last 4 decisions as he just hasn't found it this year. Look for Jose Altuve to be a big difference maker here. He is 10 for 29 in his career against Weaver which could help him spark some run scoring opportunities come Saturday night. Some trends to consider. Astros are 6-2 in their last 8 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. Astros are 5-2 in their last 7 during game 2 of a series. This is a sport where Keuchel needs to perform. Look for a strong outing from him, as the Astros take game 2 of this weekend series. Back Houston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* MLB ML Play |

05-28-16 | Warriors +2 v. Thunder | 108-101 | Win | 100 | 32 h 40 m | Show | |
Golden State +2 The Warriors and Thunder play in Game 6 with Golden State grabbing a couple points here on the road. Golden State staved off eliminate in Game 5 as their offense looked like they were back in business. Steph Curry made some MVP type plays and put the team on his back down the stretch to secure a victory. Now, the Warriors did get rocked in Oklahoma City twice in Games 3 and 4, but this team needed that 5th game to get their swagger and momentum back. Golden State knows they have a Game 7 in the balance inside Oracle and that will be tough for the Thunder to win IF the Warriors can steal Game 6 here. The mentality for the Thunder is pretty much this is it for them. This team doesn't have the experience in games like these that the Warriors do. Golden State went on the road plenty of times last year en route to their title and stole postseason road games. Some trends to consider. Warriors are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest Golden State is one of the few teams that can overcome anything. Given their confidence is back, look for them to steal this game and force a Game 7 in this series. Back the Warriors. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play |

San Francisco vs. Colorado Over 10.5 The Rockies return to Coors Field and take on an impressive Giants lineup. Given that, the Over here holds solid value. Colorado comes in off a stellar offensive performance as they exploded against the Red Sox. When playing in Colorado, this Rockies team is completely different. This season, Colorado is averaging 5.50 runs per game while conceding over 7 runs per game. We get two pitchers here who really have struggled too. Matt Cain sits with an ERA of 5.37 on the season. Cain has struggled against the Rockies this year as he has allowed 14 runs in just 8.1 innings of work. On the Rockies side of things, Tyler Chatwood hasn't liked the confines of Coors Field. He sits with 1-3 record with a 6.65 ERA as he simply hasn't been able to keep the ball in the park when it comes to playing at home. He allowed 5 runs on 11 hits to the Giants this year at Coors field back in April. Some trends to consider. Over is 22-8-2 in Cains last 32 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. Over is 6-1 in Chatwoods last 7 starts during game 1 of a series. With both pitchers struggles, combined with the Coors Field factor playing in here, the Over has great value and is certainly worth the move here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Pittsburgh vs. Texas Over 9 The Rangers and Pirates both have been hitting ball extremely well as of late. Given the confines of Globe Life Park, this Over has a lot of value. On the road this season, the Pirates have been a solid over play. Pittsburgh is averaging 5.09 runs per game while conceding 5.14. In 22 road games plays this year, the over is 14-7-1. On the Texas side of things, they are right there in the over department when it comes to playing at home. The Rangers scoring 5.46 runs per game while conceding 5 of their own. In 24 home games, the Over is 15-8-1 for Texas. Jonathon Niese will go for the Pirates and this Rangers offense will have a field day with him. Niese has a 4.75 ERA on the season and has a 4.50 career ERA against the Rangers. Some trends to consider. Over is 6-0 in Pirates last 6 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record. Over is 10-3 in Hamels' last 13 starts with 4 days of rest. Given how the ball travels inside Globe Life Park and how good both offenses have been lately, this Over has solid value here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB O/U Play |

Cleveland Indians -121 The Cleveland Indians are coming off a great trip to the south side of Chicago. They beat Chris Sale and Jose Quintana in back to back days. That's something that isn't going to happen very many times this year. The Baltimore Orioles got off to a great start this year, but they are coming back down to earth of late. Baltimore has a good offense, but this Orioles pitching staff is terrible. Mike Wright is one of those starters that I rate very poorly. Wright is just a very hittable pitcher who has subpar command at this point in his career. Trevor Bauer has tremendous upside. Bauer showed some good signs in recent starts before being hit hard at Boston against the Red Sox last time. I'm not letting that change my opinion of him too much though, since Boston is torching nearly every right handed pitcher at home this year. The Indians have a pitching edge and they have the much better defense as well. Some betting trends of note. The Indians are 6-0 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning record. Baltimore is 2-5 in Wright's last 7 road starts. The Orioles are 18-38 in their last 56 games at Cleveland. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play |

Oklahoma City vs. Golden State Over 220 Awake the sleeping beast. The Warriors return home trying to stave off elimination and this is going to be a game where both teams exchange blows. With the exception of Game 2, Steph Curry has struggled all series long. He went just 5 for 21 in Game 4 as nothing was falling for him. This is a case here where Curry has to put the team on his back and step up. He's done it all season long and this is a spot where he won't be tentative by any means. Along with him, Klay Thompson got himself going in Game 4. He'll be another big key in this game as the duo will let it fly, as they get back to their old selves. For the Thunder, they have proven they aren't backing down no matter what the case may be. Russell Westbrook is averaging 27.3 points, 11.8 assists, and 3.8 steals in this series. Him, along with Durant have this offense on fire right now as they have everything working. Some trends to consider. Over is 22-10-1 in Warriors last 33 vs. NBA Northwest. Over is 4-0 in Thunder last 4 Thursday games. This is a spot where both teams will be playing at a frantic pace. Given that, the Over here holds solid value. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA O/U Play |

05-26-16 | Lightning v. Penguins OVER 5.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay vs. Pittsburgh Over 5.5 +119 These has been a back and forth series with both offenses showing the ability to find the back of the net quickly. Given that, especially at plus money, this Over holds solid value. Over the past 3 games, there have been 7 goals scored in each game. Over the last 4 games, 27 goals have been tallied. Both teams have shown the ability to score in bunches, which has been the biggest key. With how many weapons each team has, there is always a threat on goal going on. Over the last 28 meetings between these two teams, the Over has hit 21 out of 25 times with 3 pushes. In the last 17 meetings in Pittsburgh, the Over has hit in 12 of 17 games with 3 more pushes. Both goalies will be on edge here too. With how young they are, given the Game 7 circumstances of high nerves, they certainly will deal with some jitters, keeping them off their game. Some trends to consider. Over is 18-7-3 in Lightning last 28 vs. Metropolitan. Over is 20-6-7 in Penguins last 33 home games. Given all this, this game should have a fast pace with both teams getting plenty of chances on goal. With that, the Over holds solid value here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Baltimore Orioles +108 The Orioles came into this series red hot, but have been cooled off against the Astros. Houston has struggled to put winning streaks together this year, which gives Baltimore the edge here in the series finale. The Orioles bats have gone a bit cold here, but with Lance McCullers on the hill, this could be just what they need to break out of this. McCullers is making just his third start as he was forced on the disabled list with a shoulder injury. He's really struggled with his arm strength, not giving the Astros much. McCullers isn't overpowering and doesn't have good secondary pitches, which will cause some problems for him here. The Orioles send out Kevin Gausman. He has recorded 5 straight no decisions and most of those have been tough to take. He has allowed 2 runs or less in 6 of his starts this season. Some trends to consider. Orioles are 8-2 in their last 10 Thursday games. Orioles are 9-4 in their last 13 vs. a team with a losing record. Making this play even nicer, the Astros are 0-6 on Thursdays this season. Typically they struggle to close out series or open a series with a win, but whatever the case may be, this just isn't their day. Back Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB ML Play |

After falling 6-3 at home in Game 5, they are completely against it here, but that typically doesn't scare this St. Louis team. The Blues know a thing or two about winning on the road this postseason. They took down the Stars in Game 5 and in Game 7 both on the road and also had one of their best performances of the playoffs in Game 4 in San Jose. This team is built with a solid group of veterans who aren't phased by the road. San Jose really hasn't been anything special at home either. They are just 3 games above the .500 mark inside the SAP Center and when you get a road team like the Blues, things will certainly be tough for the Sharks with the pressure on. The Blues have gone 31-14-2-3 on the road as they haven't allowed the home crowd to get to them. An early goal here will be crucial. St. Louis has done that in their road wins this postseason as they get out early and take the home crowd out of it. Some trends to consider. Blues are 4-0 in their last 4 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game. Blues are 4-1 in their last 5 Wednesday games. At this price, given the Blues road success, they hold solid value here in Game 6. Bak St. Louis. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NHL ML Play |

05-25-16 | Brewers -110 v. Braves | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Brewers -110 The Brewers and Braves play a night game in Atlanta on Wednesday and it's the visitors who hold solid value here. Milwaukee comes into this one with some momentum as they took care of business 2-1 on Tuesday. It's been the bullpen that has been the difference for them. The Brewers pen has allowed just 9 earned runs in their last 53.1 innings of work. We also get a struggling Braves team here. Atlanta is now just 2-18 SU at home this season as their offense has been about as bad as one can get. The Braves have just 3 runs on 17 hits over their past 2 contests. They'll go up against Milwaukee's most reliable pitcher in Junior Guerra. The RH is 3-0 this season and has a 3-1 strikeout to walk ratio. He comes in off an impressive performance where he struck out 11 against the Cubs. He'll be opposed by Mike Foltynewicz, who has struggled this season. Sitting with an ERA of 4.57, the RH comes in off a performance that saw him last just 3 innings while conceding 5 runs on 7 hits. Some trends to consider. Brewers are 10-4 in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Brewers are 12-5 in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. The Brewers at a PK price are certainly worth it here. They have an edge in the pitching matchup and Atlanta has been horrific at home this season. Back Milwaukee. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

05-25-16 | Marlins +179 v. Rays | 4-3 | Win | 179 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
Miami Marlins +179 This line has just gotten too ridiculous to pass up. The Tampa Bay Rays are playing good baseball lately, but how can they ever lay almost -200 with Matt Andriese on the mound? It might make sense if they were playing someone like the Reds or Braves, but Miami is far from a bad team. Justin Nicolino isn't the ideal starter, but the Marlins bullpen isn't bad. The Rays have Matt Andriese on the mound, and he is pitching far above his expected productivity level. A look at the advanced statistics shows that he has gotten a lot of good fortune so far, and he is likely to go the other way sooner rather than later. Miami should be the underdog here, but this price should not be north of +150, and we're getting a number much bigger than that. We'll side with the underdog in this one. A couple betting trends of note in this game. The Rays are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. The Marlins are 4-0 in Nicolino's last 4 road starts vs. a team with a losing record. Take Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* MLB ML Play |

05-25-16 | Blue Jays v. Yankees OVER 8.5 | 8-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Blue Jays vs. Yankees Over 8.5 Both the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees have a bunch of guys who are underachieving offensively so far this year. These teams are certainly better offensively than they have looked so far this year. Marco Estrada and Ivan Nova are the starters in this one. Estrada has pitched into some good luck this year, and he is due to give up some more long balls. Yankee Stadium is a place where that could easily happen. Ivan Nova hasn't had to face many good lineups yet, and Nova has had trouble keeping the ball in the yard at Yankee Stadium in past years. If these offenses had been performing better, this total would be at 9.5, so we are getting quite the value here. With two subpar pitchers, both offenses will have a real shot to break out of their funk. Some betting trends of note. The over is 6-2 in the Yankees last 8 home games. The over is 7-3-1 in the Yankees last 11 games vs. a right handed starter. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play |

05-25-16 | Royals +101 v. Twins | 5-7 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 39 m | Show | |
Kansas City Royals +101 The Royals have taken the first two of this AL Central series and will look to complete the sweep on Wednesday. They've been offered at good prices all series long and this one here is the best we've seen, which gives them solid value here. The Royals have dominated this head to head series as they've won 8 straight against the Twins, outscoring them 46-17 in that span. Kansas City will send Dillon Gee to the hill, who is coming off a stellar start. Gee finished 5.0 innings against Chicago, allowing just 1 run on 4 hits in a 4-1 win. Back on April 10th he faced Minnesota out of the bullpen and threw two scoreless innings. The Twins send out Tyler Duffy, who got rocked is last time out. Duffy allowed 6 runs to the Blue Jays as he was knocked out early. This will be his first start ever against Kansas City, which is always a tough feat given how good this line up is. Some trends to consider. Royals are 6-0 in their last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter. Royals are 4-1 in their last 5 road games. The Royals have dominated the Twins at every chance they've gotten. Given that, at this price, Kansas City holds good value. Back Kansas City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play |

05-24-16 | Padres v. Giants -1.5 | 2-8 | Win | 110 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
San Francisco Giants -1.5 The San Francisco Giants are playing some tremendous baseball right now. The Giants are getting top notch starting pitching and their bullpen has been excellent as well. They have won 1-0 the last two nights I expect more runs from the Giants as they face off against a pitcher they have crushed in the past. Andrew Cashner has an ERA of 7.18 at AT&T Park in San Francisco. The Giants have scored at least 6 runs in Cashner's last four starts in San Francisco. While the Giants have been on fire overall, their offense still hasn't produced the way I expect yet. I think they will get hot and pile up the runs at some point soon. San Diego's bullpen is totally spent after that 17 inning game against the Dodgers on Sunday, and that hurts them a lot here. The Giants start Jeff Samardzija, who is pitching deep into games and his fastball has been working extremely well of late. The Padres own one of the worst offenses in all of baseball. One interesting note to finish with: The Giants have won six games that Samardzija has started, and all six were by two runs or more. Take San Francisco -1.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Kansas City Royals -113 The Royals and Twins continue their series and once again we get a solid price on Kansas City, which makes them very valuable here. This was the case on Monday night as the Royals trounced the Twins with ease. This Minnesota pitching staff is absolutely horrendous, as they gave up 10 runs in a 10-4 route on Monday. On the season, they're conceding 5.36 runs per game, which is one of the worst in the majors. Edinson Volquez takes the hill for Kansas City, as he holds solid career numbers against the Twins. He brings in a record of 3-1 with an ERA of just 2.13 in 7 career appearances against Minnesota. Minnesota sends out Ervin Santana, who just hasn't gotten the support from his offense this year. He holds just a 1-2 record as he has been on the unfortunate end of some bad no decisions. It has to start becoming a mental game for him as every time he takes the hill, he can't allow many runs or he knows he won't see a win. Some trends to consider. Royals are 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter. Royals are 14-4 in their last 18 vs. American League Central. At this kind of price, the Royals have solid value. They're a much better team and are playing extremely well, while the Twins are fading every night. Back Kansas City. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

05-24-16 | Orioles -105 v. Astros | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
Baltimore Orioles -105 The Orioles come into this one red hot as they take on the Houston Astros on Tuesday. Given the edge here for Baltimore offensively and pitching, they hold great value at this price. Baltimore has won 10 of their past 14 games and currently holds the best record in the American League. They started their 9 game road trip by taking 2 of 3 against the Angels. They send out Chris Tillman here, who has been about as dominant as one can be. He has won 5 straight starts and possess a 6-1 record with an ERA of only 2.61. Tillman has just a 1.62 ERA in that 5 game stretch and has allowed 1 run or less in 3 of those 5 starts. Doug Fister will go for Houston as his roller coaster of a season continues. Fister holds an ERA of 4.22, as he just hasn't found any consistency this season. In his career against Baltimore he sits with an ERA of 4.63. Some trends to consider. Orioles are 6-1 in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Orioles are 5-1 in their last 6 road games. Baltimore is on a roll right now. Given that, combined with the Astros struggles, the Orioles hold solid value at this price. Back Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

Chicago Cubs -113 The Cubs head into St. Louis on Monday night and open as very small favorites here. Despite their recent struggles, finding the Cubs at this price just doesn't happen often. Given that, they hold solid value here. Chicago has faced their first cold streak of the season, but despite that they still hold the best record in the majors. St. Louis on the other hand has been less than average. They dropped 2 of 3 to Arizona and have now lost 4 of their last 6 home series'. One of those came against the Cubs, where they managed just 1 run in the two losses. John Lackey will take the hill for the Cubs, as he looks to repeat his performance against the Cardinals. Lackey struck out 11 while scattering 4 hits in a win on April 18. He has allowed 3 runs or less in 4 straight starts now as well. He'll be opposed by Adam Wainwright, who has struggled. Sitting with a 5.92 ERA, Wainwright just hasn't been able to find any sort of rhythm this year. He's been a big reason why the Cardinals cannot pick up any steam in the NL Central. Some trends to consider. Cubs are 29-8 in their last 37 during game 1 of a series. Cubs are 46-13 in their last 59 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. At this price, the Cubs hold solid value. Look for Lackey to start this series off on a high note, as Chicago grabs a win on Monday. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB ML Play |

05-23-16 | Sharks v. Blues OVER 5 | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
San Jose Sharks vs. St. Louis Blues Over 5 The Sharks and Blues have had a back and forth series as this shifts back to St. Louis for Game 5. With the way this has been, offense has dominated the series. St. Louis had their 2nd 6 goal outburst of the postseason in Game 3, as they came up clutch when they needed it the most. The Sharks weren't a slouch either by any means, putting up 3 goals themselves. The key in this series has been both teams ability to score in bunches. It has seemed as if 1 goal opens the door for 1 or even 2 more right after it for both teams. The goalies have been sketchy as well. Martin Jones was pulled midway through the Game 3 while Brian Elliot still allowed those 3 goals. Both net minders have shown flashes of brilliance, but have also shown they are very vulnerable. Some trends to consider. Over is 18-6-2 in Sharks last 26 following a home loss of 3 or more goals. Over is 15-4-7 in Blues last 26 games playing on 1 days rest. With the way both offenses have been able to find the back of the net, this has the making for another back and forth game, giving the Over good value here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Kansas City Royals -118 The Royals head into Minnesota on Monday and the visitors hold solid value here. Kansas City has picked up a bit of steam as they've won back to back series' against two very impressive teams. They took 2 of 3 against both Boston and Chicago to move to 6-3 in their last 9 overall. The Royals will take on a Twins team that is struggling right now. Minnesota has lost 6 of their last 7 and managed just 2 hits in a 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays and Sunday. Minnesota just hasn't been able to get any consistency from both their offense and pitching, which obviously is a horrible combination. Kansas City will send out Ian Kennedy, who allowed just 2 runs last time out against Boston. Kennedy has allowed 2 runs or less in 8 starts now this season. For the Twins, Ricky Nolasco has struggled this year. He sits with an ERA of 4.74 on year. He's allowed at least 4 runs in each of his last 5 outings. Some trends to consider. Royals are 4-0 in their last 4 games following a loss. Royals are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter. With this low of a price, combined with the pitching edge, the Royals are very valuable here. Back Kansas City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* MLB ML Play |

Angels vs. Rangers over 9.5 The Los Angeles Angels bats have come alive in the past couple weeks. It's unlikely they will go silent in Arlington against the Rangers. This is a great hitters park and Derek Holland has been getting blasted on a consistent basis of late. Holland has an ERA of over 5 in his career against the Angels. Nick Tropeano starts for the Angels, and I'm not very high on him. His fastball just doesn't get the job done, and his command isn't very good either. I see him getting hit around by a Texas offense that is much more productive when they are playing at home. Both of these bullpens are suspect. The Angels are worse than the average bullpen. The Rangers bullpen has the second worst ERA in all of baseball. Some betting trends of note here. The over is 4-1 in the Angels last 5 games. The over is 10-4 in the Rangers last 14. The over is 3-0-1 in Holland's last 4 home starts. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* MLB O/U Play |

Tampa Bay vs. Pittsburgh Over 5 The Lightning and Penguins continue their series as it shifts back to Pittsburgh for Game 5. This has been a back and forth series with a lot of chances for both teams. Given that, the Over holds solid value here. This series has shown that both teams can score in bunches and score quick. Last game it was Tampa Bay who struck for 4 straight before the Penguins tallied 3 of their own and nearly completely a comeback. Prior to that in Game 3, Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh entered the 3rd period with just 1 goal. The two teams rattled off 5 3rd period goals to cash the Over once again. With how many weapons both teams have, at any point either team can go off. Both goalies have struggled in this series as well. Ben Bishop isn't anywhere close to 100% after getting injured in Game 1 and the 21 year old Matt Murray was replaced in the 3rd period in Game 3. Some trends to consider Over is 16-7-3 in Lightning last 26 vs. Metropolitan. Over is 19-4-3 in the last 26 meetings. With both teams abilities to score quickly and ramp it up a couple notches, this Over has solid value. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NHL O/U Play |

Chicago vs. San Francisco Under 7 Sunday Night Baseball heads to San Francisco as the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants go at it. With two solid pitchers taking the hill, the Under holds good value here. Chicago will throw Kyle Hendricks here. Hendricks has recorded 4 quality starts this season and has not allowed more than 4 runs in any of his 7 starts. Consistency has been the biggest thing for him. He's been able to get into rhythms and get zoned in during his starts. The Giants will throw their ace in Madison Bumgarner. He's been stellar this season going 5-2 with a 2.45 ERA. He comes in with solid moment, striking out 11 Padres last time he took the mound. Bumgarner has had solid success against the Cubs, going 6-2 with a 2.44 in 10 starts against them. Some trends to consider. Under is 11-3 in Giants last 14 overall. Under is 9-4 in Hickoxs last 13 Sunday games behind home plate. Given both pitchers' success and with this being a stand alone national spotlight game, expect both pitchers to be on their top games here. With that, the Under is worth a play here. Back the Under.

Seattle Mariners -1.5 The Seattle Mariners take on the lowly Cincinnati Reds for one more game on Sunday afternoon. They get to face Alfredo Simon in this one, and he has been the Reds worst starter this year. How bad has Simon been? He has an ERA of 10.34 on the year. Anytime you have an ERA above 10 and you have thrown more than 30 innings, you have some serious problems. Simon is allowing a home run on nearly 25 percent of his fly balls. That's just ridiculous, and the Mariners definitely have some great home run hitters. Wade Miley started the season slowly, but he has been better of late. Miley has a nice track record of being a solid pitcher in the past, and this Reds offense is no better than mediocre. The Reds bullpen is the worst in baseball, and that should be a key here since Simon doesn't pitch deep into the game very often. Take Seattle -1.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB RL Play |

Baltimore Orioles -118 The Orioles continue their series with the Angels here on Saturday and it's the visitors from Baltimore who hold value here. Baltimore comes into this one with some momentum as they blasted 4 home runs in Friday's win. They have been dominant at home this year to set the pace and they continue to find ways to win on the road. Mark Trumbo continues to lead the way, as he's got 13 home runs now, which leads the league. The key for baltimore has been to hit that home run. When they hit at least one home run, the O's are a stellar 20-7 on the season. They'll oppose Matt Shoemaker here, who has been rough on the season. He's gone just 2-5 with an ERA that sits at 8.49. He hasn't had much success to build off of, as he has been leaving pitches up in the zone and struggles with free passes. Some trends to consider. Orioles are 4-0 in their last 4 road games. Orioles are 8-1 in their last 9 vs. a team with a losing record. At this price, the Orioles have solid value. They are playing good ball right now and given the struggles of Shoemaker, this is a nice spot to back them. Back Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Cleveland Cavaliers -5 The series shifts to Toronto here on Saturday as the Cavaliers and Raptors play in Game 3. The Cavaliers have dominated this series and with this kind of a number, they hold value. Cleveland has given it to the Raptors, blowing them out on both occasions. Cleveland has won 10 straight postseason games, really not letting anybody slow them up. This Cavaliers team is playing with complete confidence right now that nobody can stop and from the looks of it, nobody can really stop them. This series hasn't been about the 3 point shooting though. The Raptors have been so concerned with the Cavs shooting from the outside, that they've opened up plenty of lanes for them to drive to the bucket and get easy layups or dunks. Kyle Lowry has also been horrific this series. Cleveland has shut him down and not allowed him to get going and it's apparent not only him, but the entire Raptors team is frustrated. Some trends to consider. Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NBA Atlantic. Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. The Cavaliers have such a mental edge here. Toronto looks defeated and given that, at this low of a number, Cleveland holds solid value. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Miami Marlins -127 The Marlins and Nationals play Game 2 Saturday night an it's the Marlins who hold solid value here. Miami will send out their ace, who has been absolutely dominant against Washington in his career. Jose Fernandez has gone 5-0 with a 1.09 ERA in 8 career meetings. He's already got two victories under his belt this season against them, as he's been able to shut them down on both occasions. Jose Fernandez has also been about as good as one can be at home. He has gone a ridiculous 20-1 with an ERA of 1.65 in 30 career home starts. This young star has continued to give the Marlins a chance to win every time he takes the hill. He'll be opposed by Joe Ross here. Ross has dropped 3 straight outings and one of those came against Miami. Ross allowed 5 runs in 5.1 innings of work against Miami, as he put the Nationals in a hole the offense couldn't get out of. Look for Marcell Ozuna to be a big key here. The Marlins OF has reached base safely in 27 straight games. He's been the spark plug to this offense, really getting them going. Some trends to consider. Marlins are 4-0 in Fernandezs last 4 starts with 5 days of rest. Marlins are 24-2 in Fernandezs last 26 home starts. Given Fernandez's success at home and against Washington here, the Marlins hold great value at this price. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* MLB ML Play |

Cleveland vs. Boston Over 9.5 The Indians and Red Sox continue their series Saturday afternoon and it's the Over that holds solid value in this one. The Tribe's offense has come to life this past week as they remain red hot, winning 5 straight games. Jason Kipnis set the tone in Friday's win with a 3 run home run, but it's really been the entire lineup that has been contributing. We'll get two pitchers here who will likely struggle against the opposing team. Trevor Bauer goes for the Indians. He saw Boston in one relief appearance this year and things didn't go so well. He allowed a two run homer to David Ortiz, which ended up sealing the deal in the game. Joe Kelly sits with a 9.35 ERA on the season. He's been a mess, leaving a lot of pitches up in the zone, which has allowed the opposition to string together multiple hits at a time. Fenway has also played to the Over this year. The Red Sox average 6.65 runs per game while conceding 4.83. Some trends to consider. Over is 11-5-1 in the last 17 meetings in Boston. Over is 15-7 in Joyces last 22 games behind home plate vs. Cleveland. This is a spot here where both pitchers will struggle, giving the offenses a lot of run scoring opportunities. With that, the Over is worth the play here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Blue Jays vs. Twins Over 8 A lot of people are ready to give up on this Toronto offense, but I can't do it. The Blue Jays offense is better than they are showing right now. They are switching up the batting order and looking for a spark, and I have a feeling their breakout could come this weekend in Minnesota. Minnesota's pitching staff isn't any good. Duffey has good numbers this year, but he is a good candidate for regression in his next few starts. The Twins bullpen is one of the worst in baseball as well. The Minnesota offense is better than they showed early in the season, and I do expect the Twins to score plenty of runs at home this year. Toronto starts Aaron Sanchez here. Sanchez has improved, but he still walks too many people and has to work out of jams a lot of the time. The Twins should get opportunities here. A couple trends of note here. The over is 18-7-3 in the Twins last 28 games. The over is 6-2 in the Twins last 8 home games. Take the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB O/U Play |

New York Mets -1.5 +116 The Mets welcome in the Brewers to kick off their weekend and New York -1.5 is a nice, valuable play at this listed price. For starters, this is a let down series for the Brewers. They took down the red hot Chicago Cubs in 2 of 3 games this week and capped off the series with a win in the rubber match as they held on in the 9th. Milwaukee now hits the road to head into Citi Field and the road has not been kind to them by any means. The Brewers have gone just 6-11 SU away from Miller Park. They have averaged 4.12 runs per game, but have conceded 5.65, as their pitching has been horrible. As for the Mets, this is the perfect bounce back spot. They are in the midst of a 1-6 slide, but returning home is what they need. They'll send out Steven Matz, who is pitching on 10 days rest. Matz has been a solid, consistent option for New York in their rotation. Combine that with how lock down this bullpen is and the Mets get a clear advantage here. Some trends to consider. Mets are 11-0 in their last 11 vs. National League Central. Mets are 9-2 in their last 11 Friday games. Given the Mets success against the NL Central, combined with the pitching edge here and it's New York has solid value here. Back New York RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB RL Play |

05-20-16 | Braves v. Phillies -1.5 | 7-1 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 Matt Wisler is an inconsistent starter, and in his career he has been much better on the road than at home. The Phillies offense is better than most expected it to be, and they still have some young guys who haven't gotten into a rhythm yet. While I don't think the Phillies are as good as their record would indicate, I know the Braves are a terrible team. Atlanta is likely to finish with the worst record in the National League this year. The Braves offense is awful, and they are up against a great young pitcher here. Aaron Nola is throwing the ball very well right now. He has the best curveball of any right handed pitcher in the majors. Nola is striking out guys at a high rate, and the Braves are very likely to struggle to make contact here. Since the moneyline is -160 or so, we are going to go with the run line in this one. The Braves have been thumped on multiple occasions this year, and Nola is quickly on his way to becoming an elite starting pitcher. Take Philadelphia -1.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Toronto vs. Cleveland Over 198.5 The Raptors were embarrassed in Game 1 versus Cleveland and with Game 2 tonight, expect a much more respectable performance. However, this Cleveland team is still far more talented, which makes this Over a very nice play. Cleveland's offense has been top of the line this postseason. They once again put up a high number, scoring 115 points. This team has shown the ability to hit the 3, but they also have dominated inside. Cleveland did both extremely well in Game 1, as the Raptors had no way of stopping them. Offensively, the Raptors they put up 85 points in Game 1 and got completely embarrassed. A lot of the Raptors were still in high spirits following the loss, realizing it was just one game. Expect a very motivated game here from everyone as this Toronto team isn't as bad as they showed. Look for Kyle Lowry to be the biggest key to a Raptors offensive spark, as he struggled all of Game 1 after really looking like he had things figured out in Games 6 and 7 of the series against Miami. Some trends to consider. Over is 8-2 in Cavaliers last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. Look for both offensives to have a lot of success here. Given that and the ability of both teams to shoot the ball, the Over holds solid value here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

05-19-16 | Astros v. White Sox UNDER 7 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
Astros vs. White Sox Under 7 The Houston Astros and the Chicago White Sox meet Thursday night in what I expect to be a low scoring game. Chris Sale is on the mound for the White Sox, and that means it should be very tough for Houston to find runs in this one. Sale has a career low walk rate this year, which is really important for a guy like him. Sale is always going to strike out a lot of guys, and the Astros have a lot of free swingers who should struggle in this matchup. Collin McHugh isn't a great pitcher, but he is better than his ERA so far this year would suggest. The White Sox offense is nothing special, and McHugh is good at keeping the ball on the ground. Both of these bullpens are excellent. In a league where bullpen blowups are very common, it's nice to bet an under and feel confident in the late innings being relatively low scoring. Some trends to consider. The under is 12-4 in Sale's last 16 home starts. The under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two teams. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

05-19-16 | Cubs v. Brewers OVER 8 | 3-5 | Push | 0 | 4 h 51 m | Show | |
Chicago vs. Milwaukee Over 8 The Cubs and Brewers meet in a matinee special here during the series finale and the Over holds solid value here. The Cubs offense has been held at bay the entire series and that's something that just doesn't happen often. Chicago's offense has averaged 5.74 runs per game overall on the year. That number gets even better on the road, as they average 6.33 runs per game. Milwaukee has been right there with them. The Brewers have averaged 4.43 runs per game this season inside Miller Park. Their struggles have come from the pitching side. They've conceded nearly 5 runs per game on the year. Both of these teams have also been solid Over bets overall. The Cubs have gone 22-14-2 to the Over while the Brewers have gone 23-15-2. Some trends to consider. Over is 12-3-1 in Cubs last 16 Thursday games. Over is 10-3-2 in Brewers last 15 Thursday games. Both lineups are deep. Given that, expect a lot of run scoring opportunities here on Thursday, which gives the Over plenty of value here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

05-18-16 | Giants v. Padres +121 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
San Diego Padres +121 The Padres welcome in the Giants here on Wednesday and it's the home team at plus money who has value here. The Padres will send out Drew Pomeranz here, who has been dominant as a Padres starter this season. The LH is 4-3 overall with an ERA of just 1.80. He went out last time in solid fashion and shut down the Cubs, in Chicago, in the 2nd game of a day night doubleheader. Pomeranz struck out 10 over a span of 6.0 innings, which is quite the impressive feat given the magnitude of that Cubs lineup. The Giants will throw Johnny Cueto, who has been good, but has been mediocre against the Padres in his career. He has a career ERA of 3.34 as he sometimes struggles against the middle part of that San Diego offense. Drew Pomeranz has also been a different pitcher at home. He's gone 2-0 while not allowing a single run. Some trends to consider. Padres are 4-1 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series. Padres are 5-2 in their last 7 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. At plus money with a solid pitcher on the mound at home, the Padres hold very good value here. Back San Diego. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* MLB ML Play |

05-18-16 | Yankees v. Diamondbacks OVER 9 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
New York vs. Arizona Over 9 The Yankees and Diamondbacks complete their 3 game series and we've seen a completely new team in the Diamondbacks, after a weekend where they were swept away by the Giants. Arizona's offense has come to life as they have combined for 17 runs on 25 hits through the first two games of this series. The Diamondbacks are now averaging 4.65 runs per home game, which is a number they need to keep up there considering their pitching woes. They've given up 5.78 runs per game at Chase Field and Wednesday's starter Shelby Miller has a lot to do with that. He brings in an ERA of 6.94 on the season. Miller has enjoyed giving out free passes, as he sits with 23 over 35 innings of work. In that same time frame, he's also given up 8 home runs. New York starter Nathan Eovaldi has improved lately, but still is an untrustworthy pitcher. His ERA on the year sits at 4.85 and he'll get a look at a red hot offense right now, much different from the one the Diamondbacks were showing prior to this series. Some trends to consider. Over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings in Arizona. Over is 8-2-1 in Diamondbacks last 11 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game. Over is 9-3 in Eovaldis last 12 starts after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. This is case where both pitchers will struggle. With the way both of these teams really are swinging the bat, expect a lot of run scoring opportunities here, which gives the Over plenty of value. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play |

05-18-16 | Thunder v. Warriors OVER 222 | 91-118 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City vs. Golden State Over 222 The Warriors and Thunder play in Game 2 Wednesday night and the total with the Over has value here. The first game went Under, but don't let that fool you. This game was on pace and destined for the Over heading into the 4th quarter, but the Warriors went ice cold shooting 6 for 23 from the field, which includes 1 of 10 from behind the arc. That just doesn't happen often. Golden State averages above 115 points per game home and they haven't dropped back to back games yet. This is going to be a case where Head Coach Steve Kerr comes into play. Look for him to make plenty of adjustments here and really find ways to get the Warriors better looks. As for the Thunder, they will have the same mentality that they aren't scared of anyone. Durant and Westbrook were all over the place in Game 1, hitting shots from everywhere. Even Dion Waiters got in on the fun. This Thunder team can score and score quickly. Expect them to have to put up somewhere north of 110 points in this game if they hope to have a chance. Some trends to consider. Over is 21-8-1 in Warriors last 30 vs. NBA Northwest. Over is 19-9 in Thunder last 28 games playing on 1 days rest This is going to be a frantic paced game here. Both teams got the nerves out of the way and got a feel for one another in Game 1. Given that, expect this total to fly over here on Wednesday night. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

05-18-16 | Penguins v. Lightning +115 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay Lightning +115 The Lightning head home with exactly what needed to be done as they split the Games 1 and 2 in Pittsburgh. The Lightning took Game 1 and nearly stole both games, but an overtime goal by Sidney Crosby put that to rest. However, this is one of the first times the Penguins have their backs against the wall. Goalie Matt Murray has given up 5 goals on just 41 shots faced which has caused some stirring within the Penguins locker room. It's possible that Murray could be benched despite all his success this postseason for Marc Andre Fleury, who was the teams starter for a majority of this season. Tampa Bay has also been an absolute dominant home team throughout this year. They have gone 30-14-1-2 while allowing the opposition to tally just 2.28 goals per game. In Game 2, they also saw Anton Stralman return after missing 7 weeks with a broken fibula. He made his impact immediately known with a goal in the first period. Some trends to consider. Lightning are 4-1 in their last 5 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. Lightning are 15-5 in their last 20 Wednesday games. Lightning are 66-31 in their last 97 home games. The Lightning are worth the play here at plus money, at home. They're a dominant team in front of their home crowd and given the fact that they did exactly what they needed to do in Games 1 and 2 with a split, they have Pittsburgh right where they want them.

Boston Red Sox -122 The Red Sox head into Kansas City here on Tuesday to begin a weekday series and the visitors have value here. After getting washed away, both starting pitchers were moved back a day. With their recent hot streak, overall this Sox team is averaging over 6 runs per game. Red Sox starter Rick Porcello has been stellar this year as well. He's gone 6-1 with an ERA that sits only at 3.11. He's given the Red Sox length as well, going 6.0 innings in 15 straight starts dating back to last season. Back Boston. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

05-17-16 | Sharks v. Blues -128 | 4-0 | Loss | -128 | 19 h 59 m | Show | |
St. Louis Blues -128 The Blues and Sharks meet in Game 2 of their series and after the Blues held their own in Game 1, they hold just as much value here in Game 2. St. Louis got a 2nd period goal to take the lead as they held firm defensively, thanks a lot to Brian Elliot. The Blues net minder turned away 31 of 32 shots and faced a compliment of shots down the stretch of the game, especially when the Sharks pulled their goalie for a 6th attacker. Elliot improved his record against the Sharks in postseason play to 4-0. Over that span he has allowed just 1.29 GAA per game while recording a .954 save percentage. They also improved an already impressive home record with the win. St. Louis is now 28-15-5-1 at home, continuing to shut down the opposition. They have allowed just 2.31 GAA over that span of home games. The road has not been kind to the Sharks either. They have dropped 4 straight road games in the postseason while recording just 8 goals in that span. Some trends to consider. Blues are 13-3 in their last 16 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. Blues are 21-6 in their last 27 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game. The Blues hold just as much value here as in Game 1, as this team is impressive at home and is playing at such a high level defensively. Back St. Louis. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NHL ML Play |

05-17-16 | Nationals v. Mets -126 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 18 h 54 m | Show | |
New York Mets -126 Max Scherzer is definitely a very good pitcher, but I think he's due for a bit of a letdown coming off that epic 20 strikeout performance against Detroit. Scherzer threw 119 pitches last game, and that should be considered a negative for this one. Noah Syndergaard is one of the budding superstars in this league. Thor as he is known by many Mets fans, is simply amazing on the mound, and he has shown that he can hit the ball too. Most importantly, Syndergaard has multiple dominant pitches and he doesn't lose any velocity late in the game. Syndergaard has been at his best against good teams in his young career, and this is a big matchup for the Mets. New York has the better bullpen and that could be very important in a game that should be close throughout. This is a good price on a great pitcher backed by a good defense and a great bullpen. A couple betting trends of note. The Nationals are 0-4 in their last 4 road starts. The Mets are 8-2 in their last 10 home games. The Mets are 10-4 in Syndergaard's last 14 home starts. Take New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB ML Play |

05-17-16 | Reds v. Indians -1.5 | 1-13 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
Cleveland Indians -1.5 +100 The Indians and Reds continue the Battle for the Ohio Cup with the 2nd of 4 in a home and home. The Indians laying the RL here hold solid value. The Indians offense exploded for 15 runs on Monday and that comes from a combination of many things. Mostly though, it's just that the Reds pitching staff as a whole is not good. They'll send out Alfredo Simon, who sits with an ERA of 8.67 on the year. Simon just doesn't look the same as he did with the Tigers, as his command isn't there and he just struggling to get deep into games. Cleveland will send out RH Danny Salazar, who has a 3-2 record, with just a 1.90 ERA. Salazar has shown he can be overpowering at times, as he struck out 10 in his last start in just 5.0 innings. That doesn't bode well for a Reds offense that struggles on the road. Some trends to consider. Reds are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings. Reds are 2-14 in the last 16 meetings in Cleveland. The Reds just haven't been able to figure out Cleveland this season. Combine that with the edge pitching wise and Cleveland -1.5 is a nice play here. Back Cleveland RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB RL Play |

05-16-16 | Rangers v. A's -105 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 59 m | Show | |
Oakland Athletics ML The Oakland Athletics catch the Texas Rangers in a bad spot here. Texas won yesterday in the brawl game against Toronto. The Rangers won 7-6 there, and Texas clearly put everything into that series. There's no way the Rangers can be as emotionally invested in this series. Oakland isn't a good team, but over the years they have proven they can win a lot of games at home even when they aren't very good. The Athletics do have a solid bullpen and some underrated starting pitchers. Sean Manaea hasn't pitched like it yet, but he is the top pitching prospect in the Athletics organization. He needs a good start here or he will likely be sent down to the minors. Look for him to settle in at home and throw the ball well. Derek Holland is very inconsistent, and the Rangers bullpen is one of the worst in baseball. Some trends to consider. The Ranger are 1-4 in their last 5 road games vs. a lefty. They are 1-5 in Holland's last 6 road starts. In this spot and with the matchups as they are, I'll side with the home team. Take Oakland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB ML Play |

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Golden State Warriors Over 223.5 The Thunder and Warriors get set to begin the Western Conference Finals on Monday night and even with one of the highest totals of the NBA Playoffs, this Over has plenty of value. We've seen both the Warriors and Thunder put up high point totals this postseason. Both of these teams play extremely fast and attack the bucket early in the shot clock. Along with that, they both like to hoist the 3 ball. With Stephen Curry back in the lineup for the Warriors and really hitting his groove, this Warriors offense is poised to score a lot of points. Oklahoma City knows the only way they can compete in this one is to create space and get their shooters some good looks for the outside. Both teams average plenty of points. On the season, the Thunder have averaged 110.5 points per road game, while the Warriors have put up 116.0. Some trends to consider. Over is 21-7-1 in Warriors last 29 vs. NBA Northwest. Over is 8-2 in Thunder last 10 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Expect a frantic pace here, with a lot of back and forth action. Given that, this total has the chance to fly over with the way both offenses shoot the ball. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

St. Louis vs. Los Angeles Over 7.5 Sunday Night Baseball features the Cardinals vs. Dodgers and the Over holds solid value here. Both starting pitchers are struggling right now. The Cardinals will send out RH Mike Leake, who is 1-3 on the season with a 5 plus ERA. Leake has allowed 4 or more runs in 6 of his 7 outings this season. The RH has a 4.03 ERA in his career against the Dodgers. For Los Angeles, they go with Alex Wood. He's been just as bad this season, going 1-3 with a 4.58 ERA. Wood hasn't seen this Cardinals lineup except for one brief relief appearance two years back. He's in for a struggle as this lineup is filled with speed and power. St. Louis has also been a solid Over bet on the road. They have gone 13-5 to the Over as they average 6.44 runs per game while conceding 4.78 runs per game. Some trends to consider. Over is 18-7-1 in Cardinals last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Over is 6-0 in Woods last 6 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. These two pitchers struggle with command as they keep a lot of pitches up in the zone for hitters. Look for there to be a lot of run scoring opportunities in this one, making the Over a very valuable play. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play |

St. Louis Blues -130 The Blues and Sharks open play in the Western Conference Finals and the Blues hold value here in Game 1. The Sharks were the best road team in the NHL this regular season, but they have struggled with the road here in the postseason. Against the Predators last round, the Sharks struggled to finish games in Nashville. Against a team like the Blues on the road is a much tougher task. This St. Louis team concedes only about two goals per home game, which will make things very difficult on the Sharks here. St. Louis is stellar all around at home. They have gone 27-15-5-1 at home and do score 2.5 goals per game. The Blues really dictate the speed of play, which is their biggest advantage. St. Louis likes to work the puck around and will typically keep it in the oppositions end, not allowing them to get many shots on the other side. Some trends to consider. Blues are 6-0 in their last 6 Sunday games. Blues are 4-1 in their last 5 games playing on 3 or more days rest. St. Louis is about as dominant as a team can be at home. Look for them to get out early and take Game 1 in this series. Back St. Louis. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NHL ML Play |

Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 The Toronto Blue Jays lost on a walkoff home run from Drew Stubbs last night in Texas. Toronto has the big pitching advantage on Sunday, and I expect them to finish this series off with a road win. Toronto is excellent at hitting left handed pitching, and Cesar Ramos is one of the worst lefty starters in baseball. It would be a big surprise to see him not get hit hard in this one. The Blue Jays bats have been relatively quiet so far this year, and they are definitely due for a breakout. This could be the game. Aaron Sanchez appears to be taking the next step to becoming a very good big league pitcher. His control has gotten much better so far this year, and his strikeout rate is up as well. The Blue Jays are the more balanced team, and I like this matchup a lot for them. The Blue Jays are 11-3 in their last 14 games in Texas. Take Toronto -1.5.

St. Louis Cardinals -108 The Cardinals and Dodgers continue their weekend series and it's the visitors in St. Louis who have value. St. Louis has clear cut edge with this pitching matchup here. Carlos Martinez has been dominant this season. Martinez has gone 4-2 on the season with an ERA that sits at just 2.61. He was hot to start the season as he won 4 straight games and has gone a stellar 2-0 on the road. He's pitched 14.0 innings on the road while conceding just 2 runs. As for Scott Kazmir of the Dodgers, he has really struggled this season. He's left a lot of pitches up in the zone and continues to labor during starts. He's gone just 2-3 with an ERA that sits at 5.54. Kazmir allowed 4 runs last time out and hasn't recorded a win at home this season. St. Louis has been solid on the road this season too. They have gone 10-6 SU while recording nearly 7 runs per road contest. Some other trends to consider. Cardinals are 5-1 in their last 6 road games. Cardinals are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter. St. Louis has the major edge here and at a near PK price, they are worth the play. Back St. Louis. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Seattle Mariners -1.5 The Seattle Mariners had no business losing Friday night against the Los Angeles Angels, but they did. Thanks to stranding guys in scoring position all night and a blown save from Steve Cishek, the Mariners gave up a 6-3 lead and lost 7-6. The fact that they lost actually set up a stronger play here though. Seattle clearly has the much better team right now compared to the Angels. Los Angeles is banged up in a big way, and this team knows they are going nowhere this year. The Mariners have a real shot at making some noise this year with their overall balance. Hisashi Iwakuma has fantastic career numbers against the Angels. Combined, the Angels hitters have a brutal on base percentage of only .246. Iwakuma is typically better at home, and the Angels lineup is very weak outside of Mike Trout. While the Mariners bullpen did blow the lead Friday night, they are a much better bullpen than the Angels, and Seattle has a big offensive edge as well. Some trends to consider. The Mariners are 7-1 in Iwakuma's 8 home starts vs. the Angels. Seattle is 19-8 in their last 27 games. Take Seattle -1.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB RL Play |

Cleveland Indians -1.5 The Cleveland Indians start Corey Kluber in this one, and I think we're getting a good price on the American League Cy Young winner from two years ago. Kluber obviously hasn't been as good in the past year, but this is still a very good pitcher. He had one bad inning last game in Houston, but his recent form has been better than early in the season. Minnesota starts Ervin Santana in this one. Santana isn't necessarily a bad pitcher, but he is past his prime and he is coming off an injury. Those are two reasons to stay away from him in the near future. The Indians offense has heated up a bit of late, and a healthy Michael Brantley is a big deal for the Tribe. Kluber has dominated just about everyone in this Twins lineup, and the Twins have some serious chemistry problems right now. Minnesota is finding ways to lose games, and Cleveland is typically a pretty good home team. Some trends to consider. The Twins are 0-6 in Santana's last 6 starts. The Twins are 4-17 in their last 21 road games. Take Cleveland -1.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* MLB RL Play |

San Francisco vs. Arizona Over 9 The Giants and Diamondbacks continue their 4 game weekend series and the Over has tremendous value here. Both offense have certainly shown they can hit the ball this season. The Giants come into this one averaging 4.64 runs per game and that number jumps up a bit as they push it to 4.80 on the road. The Diamondbacks are just the same at 4.67 overall and 4.88 at home. Here's where things get very interesting. Both teams concede a lot. On the road, the Giants have given up 5.20 runs per game as they just don't have a stable enough rotation or pen to keep the opposition off the board. For Arizona, Chase Field has been an Over place for them. Arizona averages that 4.88, but also concedes 6.71. Friday's starter Shelby Miller has been horrendous this year, as he sits with a 7.36 ERA on the year. Some trends to consider. Over is 5-1-1 in Millers last 7 starts overall. Over is 19-6-1 in Giants last 26 Friday games. With Millers struggles, combined with how good both offenses are and the fact that they are inside Chase Field, this Over has incredible value here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Blue Jays vs. Rangers Over 10 The Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers meet Friday in a game where I expect a lot of runs. Toronto starts R.A. Dickey in this one, while Texas counters with lefty Martin Perez. R.A. Dickey is well past his prime, and he has been terrible so far this year. While the knuckeball is obviously his primary pitch, the fact that the velocity on his fastball has dropped considerably has hurt him a lot. Dickey is throwing the fastball much less now than he has in the past, and that makes hitters know what is coming. The Blue Jays mashed lefties at a record pace last year. They haven't done that so far this year, but I think it is only a matter of time until they heat up. Perez has less than stellar stuff, and this is a tremendous park for hitters. Look for Toronto's bats to have a big day. A couple betting trends of note. The over is 5-0 in the Rangers last 5 games. The over is 2-0-2 in Dickey's last 4 starts following a quality start in his last outing. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB O/U Play |

05-13-16 | A's v. Rays -115 | 6-3 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay Rays ML The Tampa Bay Rays start Jake Odorizzi in this game. Odorizzi just turned 26 years old, and I'm confident he has a bright future ahead of him. Odorizzi is walking less than 2 batters per 9 innings this year, which is a huge improvement from his almost 3.2 walks per 9 innings two years ago. Odorizzi goes against an Oakland team here that doesn't have a powerful offense at all. Oakland needs free passes to win games. Odorizzi isn't likely to help them out in that manner. Rich Hill has had a really good start to the season, but there are warning signs. First of all, Hill is old and has never had this sort of success in the majors. Second, Hill is walking a ton of people. So far, he hasn't run into teams that will make him pay, but it is going to happen sooner or later. The Tampa Bay offense has several guys who are much better against left handed pitchers as well, and this price is very fair. Some trends to consider. Tampa Bay is 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a left handed starter. The Rays are 5-2 in Odorizzi's last 7 home starts. Take Tampa Bay. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 6* MLB ML Play |

Detroit Tigers +136 The Tigers pitching has been an issue all season long. They coughed up a 5-2 lead as this has been a continuing theme. Another theme that has continued has been Justin Verlander. He's been stellar recently and comes in off his best start of the season. Verlander pitched Sunday against Texas and threw 7.0 scoreless innings and left Detroit up 2-0.  Justin Verlander has also had solid success against the Orioles in his career. Of the 7 outings he's faced them in, the Tigers RH has turned in 5 quality starts. Baltimore RH Chris Tillman has been good this year, but he's struggled with his control. He's walked 4 batters in back to back starts. That doesn't bode well when you're going up against an offense that features the likes of Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, and JD Martinez. Some trends to consider. Tigers are 8-1 in Verlanders last 9 road starts vs. Orioles. Detroit always comes to play when Verlander is on the mound vs. Baltimore. The Tigers ace deserved a much better fate in his last start, but he's starting to look like the Verlander of old and should be able to continue his good stuff against the Orioles. Back Detroit.

Miami vs. Washington Over 8 The Marlins and Nationals will be playing their 7th game on the season head to head and the Over here in the series opener over the weekend holds value. Both of these teams have the lineups to score. The Marlins have averaged 4.20 runs per road game while the Nats are putting up 4.35 per game. Both lineups have speed, power, and depth 1 through 9 that can produce. The real value comes from Miami Marlins starter Tom Koehler. The Marlins RH has been a mess this season as his ERA sits at 5.83 on the year. Koehler was knocked around for 8 runs on 8 hits in his last start as he lasted just 2.3 innings. That's the kind of pitcher he is though. On any given night he can have no command and leave balls up in the zone to get hit. Nats starter Gio Gonzalez took a step back in his last start as he was knocked around as well. He allowed 5 runs on 7 hits in just 5.2 innings of work against the Cubs. Some trends to consider. Over is 6-0 in Nationals last 6 Friday games. Over is 21-7-2 in Marlins last 30 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. Expect a lot of run scoring opportunities in this one, with both offenses really getting at it early. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* MLB O/U Play |

05-12-16 | Mets v. Dodgers -1.5 | 0-5 | Win | 120 | 12 h 0 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 +120 The Dodgers and Mets conclude their weekday series and the Dodgers RL is worth a very good look here. They hold a solid edge pitching wise, as they always do with Clayton Kershaw on the hill. Kershaw is a stellar 4-1 on the season with a 2.04 ERA. Kershaw has everything working for him right now as he's struck out at least 10 in 4 straight starts. In 6 of his 7 starts this year, he's allowed 2 runs or less. For the Mets, they send out Bartolo Colon. He's been good this year, but when it comes to facing the Dodgers, things just don't work out for him. Colon has a record of just 2-5 with an ERA that sits at 5.16 in 7 career starts. Both Chase Utley and Adrian Gonzalez have had good career success against Colon. During the regular season, the Mets haven't been able to figure out Kershaw either. In 9 regular season outings, the Mets are 0-6 against him. Some trends to consider. Dodgers are 16-6 in their last 22 during game 4 of a series. Dodgers are 8-3 in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. The Dodgers, with Kershaw, will shut down this Mets offense while the Dodgers should be able to get to Colon early. Back the Dodgers RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* MLB RL Play |

05-12-16 | Cardinals v. Angels OVER 8 | 12-10 | Win | 101 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
Cardinals vs. Angels Over 8 Adam Wainwright and Jered Weaver were very good pitchers at one point in their career, but they aren't anymore. These are guys who have quickly declining skills and it's starting to show in their numbers. Wainwright has a miserable 6.30 ERA on the year. He won't finish the season with an ERA that bad, but we do need to start adjusting our expectations for a guy like Wainwright. He is almost 35 years old, and he is coming off a major surgery. He is striking out only 5.18 guys per nine innings when in past years that number was well above 8. Jered Weaver's fastball is often 81 miles per hour or so. When you throw that slowly with your fastball, you are going to have to be perfect with your pitch placement. Weaver has a 4.72 ERA on the year. The Cardinals rank in the top three in the majors against right handed pitching. A couple betting trends of note here. The over is 5-1 in Wainwright's last 6 starts. The over is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings between these teams. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play |

05-12-16 | Predators v. Sharks UNDER 5 | 0-5 | Push | 0 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
Nashville vs. San Jose Under 5 The Predators and Sharks go to Game 7 as this series has held par through with all the home teams winning. With this being Game 7 and neither team wanting to allow any earlier momentum, the Under has value here. Neither team will want to allow that early goal. San Jose won't want the Preds to get any more momentum while the Predators don't want to allow the crowd to get any more energized than they already will be. Nashville has also had a lot of problems scoring this series in San Jose. They've managed to produce just 5 goals total in the 3 games. Both net minders here are up for the big game as well. Pekka Rinne for the Predators has a GAA of just 2.48 and has really came up clutch on numerous occasions in this series. Martin Jones for the Sharks is even better with a 2.27 GAA and he's obviously dominated at home against the Predators. Some trends to consider. Under is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings in San Jose. Under is 7-2-1 in Sharks last 10 games playing on 2 days rest. Expect this to be a defensive battle with neither team wanting to concede an easy goal for the opposition with a counter attack. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL O/U Play |

05-12-16 | Spurs -1.5 v. Thunder | 99-113 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 25 m | Show | |
San Antonio Spurs -1.5 The Spurs backs are against the wall for the first time all season long as this series shifts back to Oklahoma City. The Spurs dropped Game 5 and are now one game away from elimination. This Spurs team was said to be the only ones who could take down the Warriors in this year's playoffs. The good news for San Antonio here is that they have the experience factor on their side and basically their whole team is a group of veterans. San Antonio has played in many high pressured elimination games like this before, which gives them a major edge here. As far as the veterans are concerned, from Tim Duncan to Tony Parker, this team has so much talent and leaders who can take over down the stretch whether it be with a big bucket or a big defensive stop. The Spurs are also a solid road team. They have gone 30-15 SU and are outscoring the opposition 102-94. Some trends to consider. Thunder are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 Thursday games. Favorite is 21-9-1 ATS in the last 31 meetings. Give the advantage to the Spurs here, who know they can come in here and stave off elimination with a road win. Back San Antonio. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

05-12-16 | Tigers v. Orioles OVER 9.5 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Detroit vs. Baltimore Over 9.5 The Tigers head into Baltimore to start a 4 game weekend series and the total sits at 9.5 here in Game 1. Both starting pitchers are very vulnerable, which makes this Over a nice play. The Tigers will send out Mike Pelfrey here. He was signed this past offseason to give this rotation some depth. However, all he has given them is loss after loss. Pelfrey's ERA sits at 6.23 and he has allowed 5 runs in 3 straight starts. He has a 4.43 ERA against the Orioles in his career and that doesn't bode well as this offense is heating up. For Baltimore, they send out Ubaldo Jimenez. The RH sits with a 4.54 ERA and he is about as inconsistent as you can get. All it takes is for him to have one bad pitch or at bat and he implodes with ease. In his starts that he hasn't won, Jimenez has issued 15 walks over just 20.2 innings of work. He's seen a lot of the Tigers and that hasn't been a good thing for him. His ERA against them sits at 5.60 as Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez both have his number. Some trends to consider. Over is 46-22-4 in Tigers last 72 road games. Over is 15-5-2 in Orioles last 22 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Look for both pitchers to continue their struggles here. These are two very deep and good offenses that can certainly score in bunches, which makes this over a nice play. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play |

05-11-16 | Blazers v. Warriors -12.5 | 121-125 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 39 m | Show | |
Golden State Warriors -12.5 The Warriors look to wrap up their series and spot in the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday when they take on the Blazers. Portland had their chance in Game 4 and have to feel demoralized after losing. Damien Lillard played out of his mind and the Trail Blazers blew multiple leads late in the game as they saw Steph Curry return in a big way. The mindset right now for Portland has to be defeated. A win in Game 4 would have even things up and got them right back into the series. However, now, they must find a way to win 3 straight games against a team that hasn't lost back to back games all season long. As for Golden State, Curry got his shot back and now they return home to a place where they have been extremely successful at this season. The Warriors went 27-19 ATS inside Oracle Arena while outscoring the opposition by 14 (115-101). Some trends to consider. Warriors are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games. Warriors are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Expect Golden State to lay the hammer down and put an end to this series in a big way here in Game 5. Back Golden State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

05-11-16 | Royals +135 v. Yankees | 7-3 | Win | 135 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
Kansas City Royals +135 The Royals try to avoid the sweep here in New York and will send one of their flame thrower to the mound here on Wednesday. Yordano Ventura will take the hill for Kansas City and he's been a solid stopper for them in the past. Ventura has lost back to back starts, but it's been self inflicted wounds from him. He's continued to issue free passes and he made it clear after his last start he knows what needs to be improved. In his lone career star against the Yankees, Ventura pitched 6.0 scoreless innings. Yankees starter Michael Pineda won his first start of the year, but has lost 3 of his last 5 starts. He sits with an inflated ERA at 5.73 and has been on the unfortunate end of run support. New York's bats seem to go cold whenever Pineda is on the hill. Kansas City's key to success last year was not allowing losing streaks to get high up there. They're currently on a 3 game losing streak. Given that, Ventura and this team who has plenty of experience at stopping losing streaks should step up here. Some trends to consider. Royals are 5-2 in their last 7 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. Royals are 16-7 in their last 23 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Look for Kansas City to bounce back here and put an end to their losing streak behind a solid start from Ventura. At this price, the Royals have solid value here. Back Kansas City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* MLB ML Play |

05-11-16 | Rays v. Mariners UNDER 7 | 5-6 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay vs. Seattle Under 7 The Rays and Mariners conclude their series Wednesday afternoon and the Under holds solid value here. Both starting pitchers have ace quality stuff and have good career success against the opposing team. Rays starter Chris Archer has finally figured things out after a rough start. He's allowed just 2 runs over his last 3 starts and comes in off a start where he pitched 6.0 shutout innings against Los Angeles. In his career against Seattle, Archer has a 2.08 ERA in five starts. For the Mariners, Taijuan Walker has been stellar this year. Walker has an ERA that sits at 1.97 and hasn't given up more than 2 runs in any of his 6 starts this season. Walker also seems to shine when he pitches at Safeco Field as well. In 4 home starts this season, Walker has an ERA that sits at 2.25. Some trends to consider. Under is 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings in Seattle. Under is 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings in Seattle. Expect runs to be at a premium here, as both starting pitchers have been exceptional as of late. Add the fact that both teams have been Under teams this year (Tampa Bay: 8-19-4, Seattle: 11-18-4) and this Over has solid value here. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

05-11-16 | Diamondbacks v. Rockies OVER 10.5 | 7-8 | Win | 106 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
Arizona vs. Colorado Over 10.5 The Diamondbacks and Rockies conclude their series Wednesday afternoon and the Over holds some value here. We get two pitchers who have really struggled on the year. Both Ray and Bettis have ERAs that sits in the high 4's, as they haven't found any sort of consistency this season. Diamondbacks starter Robbie Ray had a good start to the season before the wheels came off. Over a two start span, Ray has gone 0-1 with an ERA that sits at 12.86. Rockies OF Charlie Blackmon has had his number throughout his career, going 7 for 11. Rockies starter Chad Bettis comes in off a horrible start as he allowed 5 runs on 8 hits. He also allowed his 6th homer of the season as keeping the ball in the park has been a major issue for him. In 7 games versus the Diamondbacks, Bettis has an ERA of 6.66. The Diamondbacks active roster is hitting .365 against him. Some trends to consider. Over is 6-2-1 in Diamondbacks last 9 games following a win. Over is 8-1-1 in Welkes last 10 games behind home plate. Expect both offenses to have a lot of success against the starting pitchers here, which helps the Over out here tremendously. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB O/U Play |
