04-17-16 | Mariners v. Yankees UNDER 7.5 | 3-4 | Win | 111 | 3 h 23 m | Show | |
Mariners vs. Yankees Under 7.5 The Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees meet on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium. The weather here is forecasted to be slightly favorable for the under with a slight wind in from center field. We've got a nice pitching matchup in Iwakuma vs. Tanaka here. Hisashi Iwakuma is a really good pitcher when healthy, and he appears to be healthy again. Iwakuma is more than capable of rising to the occasion against quality offenses like New York's. He has swing and miss stuff and can dominate a game. Masahiro Tanaka has electric stuff and if he can avoid the walks that have hurt him in previous starts, he can shut down the Seattle lineup. Tanaka has multiple great strike out pitches. Iwakuma and Tanaka were on the same team in Japan for a while, and this game means a bunch to both guys. The Japanese media is going to "eat this one up". Some trends to consider. The UNDER is 20-6-3 in the last 29 meetings, is 4-1 in Mariners last 5 vs. a team with a losing record, is 5-2-1 in Mariners last 8 overall, and is 3-0-1 in Yankees last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter. Look for both to bring their best effort. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play |

04-16-16 | Flyers v. Capitals -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 135 | 30 h 30 m | Show | |
Washington Capitals -1.5 +135 The Capitals and Flyers play in Game 2 of their 7 game set and Washington has a lot of value on the PL. Washington took care of business in Game 1, as expected, 2-0. They led 1-0 throughout and added a late goal to cap the PL covering. This Washington offense gets all the credit, but it's the defense that really stepped up. They never let Philadelphia get a threat on goal as they were swarming to the puck. Washington consistently held the puck in the Flyers zone, controlling the pace of the game. The Capitals are simply too dominate at home. This year they have gone 30-8-4 as they lock down in front of their home crowd. The key to this one here is the way the Capitals do not let the Flyers get any possession in the Caps end. Washington consistently holds the puck in the zone and even if they aren't firing shots on goal, they are moving the Flyers defense around. Look for them to do the same thing as they did in Game 1, really controlling the puck, almost frustrating the Flyers. Some trends to consider. Capitals are 4-1 in their last 5 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. Capitals are 4-1 in their last 5 Conference Quarterfinals games. Look for Washington to dictate this game once again, as they roll over the Flyers, covering the PL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NHL PL Play |

04-16-16 | Tigers v. Astros OVER 8.5 | 5-3 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
Tigers vs. Astros Over 8.5 Justin Verlander is hit or miss these days. Verlander doesn't have the same velocity or command he once had, and that has made him run into a lot more issues on the mound. Collin McHugh is a good pitcher, but he doesn't have dominating stuff. He'll be up against one of the best lineups in baseball on Saturday. Detroit's lineup is probably the best in baseball from the #1 spot down through #5. The Tigers were shut down on Friday night, and I think it's unlikely that this good of a lineup gets shut down twice in a row. Houston missed all sorts of scoring opportunities early against Mike Pelfrey last night, but did get a 1-0 win. Expect a whole lot more offense in this game. Some trends to consider. The over is 38-16-4 in Detroit's last 58 road games. The over is also 18-7-2 in Verlander's last 27 starts. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB O/U Play |

04-16-16 | Pacers v. Raptors UNDER 195 | 100-90 | Win | 100 | 23 h 43 m | Show | |
Indiana vs. Toronto Under 195 The Pacers and Raptors get set for a Game 1 battle and expect some shaky play here early in the series, giving the Under solid value here. Both teams aren't known for their fast pace by any means. Both teams really like to work the ball around and use a majority of the shot clock while looking for the best shot. You won't see either the Raptors or Pacers getting out quickly in transition much, which really benefits this play here. Indiana was a dominant Under team this year too. The Pacers finished 37-45 to the Under and that bodes extremely well as they go up against a Raptors team that concedes just 98.2 points per game. When playing Eastern Conference foes, both teams also tend to the Under. Indiana has gone Under the listed total in 13 of the last 19 against the East. For the Raptors, they have gone Under the total in 9 of their last 12. Some trends to consider. Under is 7-3 in Pacers last 10 games following a straight up win. Under is 8-3 in Raptors last 11 games following a straight up win. This is going to be a very slower paced game. Both teams want to keep the game in their tempo and not allow the other to get out and push the ball. Look for a game that lands in the 80s or lower 90s with this one. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA O/U Play |

04-15-16 | Diamondbacks v. Padres UNDER 6.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 1 m | Show | |
Diamondbacks vs. Padres Under 6.5 We had the Padres and Phillies under yesterday and cashed in thanks to the Padres awful offense getting blanked once again. We'll take the under again here. San Diego has now scored a grand total of 5 runs in 7 games in a venue not called Coors Field. The Padres offense is terrible. Things should be difficult for them in this game against Zack Greinke. He hasn't been good in his first couple starts of the year, but this is a great spot for him to "get right" against this San Diego offense and in a pitcher's park. James Shields is a quality pitcher as well, and outside of Paul Goldschmitt the Diamondbacks offense is nothing special. Shields is a fly ball pitcher who can use Petco Park to his benefit against a team like Arizona. Some trends to consider. The under is 5-0 in Arizona's last 5 road games. The under is 5-0 in San Diego's last 5 games. The under is 16-7-1 in the last 24 meetings between these two teams. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* MLB O/U Play |

04-15-16 | Reds v. Cardinals -1.5 | 3-14 | Win | 120 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 (+120) The Cardinals started the 2016 season off in a major slump, but have bounced back significantly. They get a very mediocre pitcher here, which gives them plenty of value on the RL. The Cardinals covered the RL Thursday with ease at a similar price, routing the Brewers 7-0. Cincinnati wasn't expected to do too much this season and after starting a surprising 5-1, they came back to reality this past series. The Reds went into Wrigley and were absolutely dismantled in 3 games, as they were swept out of town. Now, the Reds will go with Tim Melville, who is one of the bottom pitchers on the totem poll for them . Melville was called up because of injuries and while his first start was shaky, he did survive. However, his numbers aren't that great. After Tommy John Surgery in 2012, Melville posted a record of just 7-10 with an ERA of 4.63. On the Cardinals side of things, Carlos Martinez will get the nod. The RH went 1-0 in three starts against the Reds with an ERA of just 2.12. He doesn't have overpowering stuff, but has the ability to really keep hitters off balanced with his ability to change speeds. Some trends to consider. Reds are 21-51 in the last 72 meetings in St. Louis. Reds are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings. The Reds just don't have much success in St. Louis. Given that combined with the pitching matchup and the RL for St. Louis has plenty of value here. Back St. Louis RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB RL Play |

04-15-16 | Blackhawks +107 v. Blues | 3-2 | Win | 107 | 18 h 36 m | Show | |
Chicago Blackhawks +107 Game 2 between the Hawks and Blues and we go with the experience here given the situation. Chicago and St. Louis played to a 0-0 game all the way through regulation in Game 1. Chicago dominated the game out shooting the Blues all night, as the puck always seemed to be in the St. Louis zone. However, it just wasn't their night as they failed to capitalize on the dominance. Chicago isn't the defending champions for no reason though. This team knows when things are against the wall, they need to come out and perform. Not saying this is a desperate situation by any means, but the Hawks would ideally not want to go down 2-0 to a good team like St. Louis. Chicago also gets more good news with Duncan Keith returning. The star defender is such a big part of this team and was serving a 6 game suspension. Keith not only serves a giant purpose defensively, but he also has the ability to provide an offensive threat from the blue line area. Expect the Blues to really have to adjust their game plan when he's on the ice. Some trends to consider. Blackhawks are 6-2 in their last 8 Friday games. Blackhawks are 19-7 in their last 26 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. Go with the experience here. Chicago knows what needs to be done and after a Game 1 that should have gone their way, a Game 2 win should be expected here. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-14-16 | Sharks v. Kings UNDER 5 | 4-3 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
San Jose vs. Los Angeles Under 5 We get two teams who are so used to postseason play meeting in the first round of the NHL Playoffs and with the experience, comes defensive minded teams. With that, the Under has solid value here. Both teams sit in the Pacific Division, which means they are so familiar with one another. The Sharks and Kings sit in the top 10 in the NHL in terms of scoring defense, which has led to many unders this season. San Jose was an under team on the road this season as they finished 18-20 to the under, but went on a run at the end of the season. The Sharks played to the under in 7 of their last 8 road games, with the lone one being a push. On the other side of things, the Kings were an under team at home. They went 14-20 to the under and allowed just 2.22 goals at home. They have one of the most experienced and best postseason goalies in the game in Jonathan Quick. Quick has played in 111 postseason games and has pitched plenty of shutouts in his time. His career GAA in the playoffs is just a hair over 2.00. Some trends to consider. Under is 34-14-17 in Kings last 65 Thursday games. Under is 7-2-1 in Sharks last 10 games following a win. Look for a very defensive minded game as both teams are experienced to know what it takes to win postseason games. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NHL O/U Play |

04-14-16 | Islanders +127 v. Panthers | 5-4 | Win | 127 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
New York Islanders +127 The Islanders open postseason play as a road underdog against the Panthers and they hold solid value here given their experience. Florida will be making their first postseason appearance since 2012. This Panthers team wasn't sought to do too much this year, but they certainly overachieved and proved some people wrong. New York has had their own postseason struggles in terms of moving on. They haven't won a series in over 23 years and this is the perfect chance to change their fortunes. They took the Capitals to the brink last season and even had a chance to clinch. This team has the experience and talent to do what it takes to win. The difference from last year to this year is Travis Hamonic is going to be in the lineup. He is such a crucial part to this Isles team and was noticeably missed last year against Washington. New York was a solid road team this year as well. They went 20-16-1-4 and fond consistency with with Thomas Greiss in goal. He made 23 saves in a 3-2 win over Florida this year. Some trends to consider. Islanders are 6-1 in their last 7 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. Islanders are 4-1 in their last 5 Thursday games. Look for the Islanders to set the tone of the series and steal home ice, winning game 1 and cashing at a nice price. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL ML Play |

04-14-16 | Brewers v. Cardinals -1.5 | 0-7 | Win | 112 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 +112 The Cardinals saw their winning streak and offensive outburst get snapped on Wednesday and they'll look to bounce back and grab a series win here on Thursday afternoon. Given the giant edge in the pitching matchup, the Cards have solid value here. St. Louis will send Jamie Garcia out to the mound here. Garcia has had giant success against the Brewers as he's gone 9-4 with an ERA of just 2.90 in 17 career appearances (16 starts). Garcia has handled Brewers slugger Ryan Bruan as he's gone just 8 for 46 against Garcia. Milwaukee will go with Wily Peralta and he's been a mess against St. Louis and overall in the past few seasons. Peralta has gone 4-8 with an ERA of 4.74 in 13 career starts against the Cardinals. Over the past 2 seasons, Peralta has started 22 games and has gone 5-12 with an ERA of 5.15. Peralta just hasn't had it lately and especially against the Cardinals. Some trends to consider. Cardinals are 5-1 in Garcias last 6 starts vs. Brewers. Brewers are 0-4 in Peraltas last 4 starts vs. Cardinals. With how good Garcia has been against Milwaukee, this is a solid spot to lay the RL and see them grab a series win. Back St. Louis RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* RL Play |

04-14-16 | White Sox v. Twins -112 | 3-1 | Loss | -112 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Minnesota Twins -112 The Twins search for their first win in 2016 and given the situational aspects here on Thursday afternoon, this is the perfect spot to find value in the Twins. Minnesota has a giant edge here in this pitching match up. The Twins will send out Ervin Santana, who was stellar in his season debut. Santana went 6.0 innings allowing just 6 hits while allowing only 2 runs. He's had decent career numbers against the Sox as that comes with plenty of experience. He's gone 6-6 with a 3.83 ERA in 18 appearances. The experience will come into play here along with his ability to be a proven stopper in his career. As for the White Sox, they'll go with Mat Latos. He does come in off a good start, but he's proven he can't keep the consistency going. Prior to signing with the Sox he was just 9-15 over the past 2 seasons. Don't overlook the fact that he did face a horrible offense in the Athletics in his first turn as well. The Twins offense has the ability to bust out and this is the perfect spot for them to do so. Some trends to consider. White Sox are 5-12 in the last 17 meetings. White Sox are 3-9 in the last 12 meetings in Minnesota. The Minnesota Twins haven't looked great this season, but this is the perfect chance for them here. The situation is right and the pitching matchup is completely one sided, giving the Twins value here. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-14-16 | Padres v. Phillies UNDER 7 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
Padres vs. Phillies under 7 The San Diego Padres have played five games somewhere other than Coors Field this year and have scored a grand total of 4 runs in those games. San Diego has an absolutely dreadful offense, and we are going to see this team struggle to score runs all year. The Philadelphia Phillies don't exactly have a lineup stacked with stars. The Phillies have a couple good youngsters in the middle of the order, but the rest of the lineup is very weak. Drew Pomeranz was a very highly touted prospect who has never really totally figured things out, but I think he could do it this year. Pomeranz should pitch well here. Vincent Velasquez absolutely has a very high upside. Velasquez shut down the Mets in his first start this year, and I think most people are underrating him. Two bad offenses and two pitchers with a lot of promise. A low scoring game in Philly. A couple trends of note. The under is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings between these teams. The under is 8-0-1 in the Padres last 9 games vs. a team with a losing record. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play |

04-13-16 | Grizzlies v. Warriors UNDER 213 | 104-125 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 12 m | Show | |
Memphis vs. Golden State Under 213 The Warriors look for history here as they go for win number 73 against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. With a lot of factors pouring into this one, the Under holds solid value here. Nerves will be a huge factor here. Yes Golden State has shown they don't crack under any pressure, but you have to believe that they do not want to mess history up here. They're going to be compared and even compared better to the 95-96 Bulls that featured some of the greats in the game. Expect them to really come out tentative and a put shaky, especially early on. As for Memphis, don't think they're backing down either defensively. First off for them, they need a win or they'll get the Spurs in Round 1. A victory could propel them to the 6th spot with some help, giving them the Thunder instead. Also, they have a chance to go down in history as the team that denied the Warriors of history. They won't let up on the defensive end by any means as they should want to take the air out of ball, really slowing this game down and getting Golden State out of their elements. Some trends to consider. Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Golden State. Under is 8-1 in the last 9 meetings. Look for a very nervous and slow paced game from both teams here. Expect a very low scoring game, which is a norm for this head to head series. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-13-16 | Blackhawks +107 v. Blues | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
Chicago Blackhawks ML The Blackhawks head into St. Louis for an opening round matchup and St. Louis has been notorious for getting bounced early in the NHL Playoffs. It's been three straight seasons they have been taken out in the first round of the playoffs as this team simply struggles when the spotlight gets put on them. That doesn't bode well when you're going up against the defending champs either. Chicago finished the season going 5-1-2 as they always seem to catch fire right around playoff time. Patrick Kane sparked the finish as he rattled off a 5 game point streak, with 7 goals and 5 assists in that span. This Chicago offense is so dangerous as they average nearly 3 goals per game and can strike at any moment with any line out there. Some trends to consider. Blackhawks are 4-0 in their last 4 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game. Blackhawks are 8-2 in their last 10 Conference Quarterfinals games. Experience is the most important factor here. Chicago has been through it all and knows it's time to turn it up when the playoffs come around. St. Louis has to be thinking in the back of their mind why did they have to end up with the Blackhawks, especially considering their first round failures. Look for the Blackhawks to really force the issue here in Game 1, as they steal home ice right away. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NHL ML Play |

04-13-16 | Orioles v. Red Sox -110 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Boston Red Sox -110 The Red Sox look to put an end to the Orioles undefeated season when the two teams continue their series on Wednesday night. The teams open at a PK price, which gives the Red Sox solid value here. Boston has had their offense working through the first week plus. They have averaged nearly 6 runs per game as they were right around that mark in Tuesday's loss. Hanley Ramirez and David Ortiz continue to produce along with Mookie Betts atop the lineup. They'll go up against Ubaldo Jimenez, who has been horrible against the Red Sox in his career. In 11 career starts, Jimenez has gone 2-4 with an ERA that sits well above 7. He just doesn't pitch well against this team, especially inside Fenway Park. Look for the Red Sox hitters to really make Jimenez work, especially at the top of the lineup with Betts, Pedroia, Ortiz, and Ramirez. Some trends to consider. Red Sox are 7-0 in Kellys last 7 starts after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. Red Sox are 5-0 in Kellys last 5 home starts. With the line knocked down a bit here, combined with Jimenez and his struggles against the Sox, Boston has solid value here on Wednesday. Back Boston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play |

04-13-16 | Red Wings +138 v. Lightning | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
Detroit Red Wings ML The Red Wings and Lightning meet again in the NHL Playoffs and this series expects to be similar to last years, as it was a scrappy one that took 7 games. Detroit opens as a decent sized underdog here in Game 1, which gives them solid value here. Detroit had to literally scratch and claw their way to their 25th straight playoff appearance and it took them until the final day, but thanks to a Boston loss, they survived. It's actually a nice thing it took them until the final day as it means they have never gotten out of playoff mode. Meaning, they haven't lost that mentality once unlike the Lightning who clinched a while back and kind of put it on cruise control to the finish. The Lightning have had a season of ups and downs and one of those downs is going to be a series changer. Steven Stamkos will miss the series which leaves Tampa Bay without their best offensive threat and their captain. This team has looked different without him as they simply lack both mental and physical game. Some trends to consider. Lightning are 2-5 in their last 7 vs. Atlantic. Red Wings are 119-56-8 in their last 183 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Nothing really separates these two teams. Given the injuries to the Lightning, the Red Wings have a solid shot here to steal home ice here in Game 1 and at this price, they're worth the look. Back Detroit. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NHL ML Play |

04-12-16 | Rangers v. Mariners -125 | 8-0 | Loss | -125 | 19 h 28 m | Show | |
Seattle Mariners ML The Seattle Mariners lineup beat up on Derek Holland last year. In three outings, Holland had a 7.13 ERA against this Mariners team. Seattle was a light hitting team a couple years ago, but their acquisitions in recent years have definitely made this offense better. Holland didn't adjust well last year at all. Wade Miley is a quality pitcher. Miley is a good fit for this park as well. A lot of fly balls that would be home runs in other parks won't get out in Seattle. Miley is coming off a disappointing performance in his first outing, but that one was in the hitter-friendly park in Texas. Texas had a lot of injuries at the start of the season and with Shin-Soo Choo going down recently, that was another big downer for this offense. Seattle's bullpen is better than they were a year ago, and the Mariners should be a good team on their home field. The Rangers are 2-6 in their last 8 games against Seattle. Take Seattle. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-12-16 | Orioles v. Red Sox -1.5 | 9-5 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 21 m | Show | |
Boston Red Sox -1.5 The Baltimore Orioles may be a better team than they were projected to be before the season, but they aren't this good. Baltimore's offense is solid, but their starting rotation is one of the worst in all of baseball. Sooner or later that is going to catch up with them. Mike Wright starts for Baltimore in this one, and I'm not impressed with Wright. He hasn't proven he can get guys out at this level. Wright had a 6.04 ERA last season. He'll be up against a very good Boston lineup on Tuesday. This team is going to score a lot of runs this year. Boston starts Clay Buchholz, and the Red Sox are 6-2 in his last 8 starts against the Orioles. Buchholz is an inconsistent pitcher, but when at his best, he can be extremely dominating. The oddsmakers are starting to overprice the Orioles after their early season success. A couple trends of note. Baltimore is 0-4 in Wright's last 4 road starts. Boston is 4-1 in Buchholz's last 5 starts following a team loss in their previous game. Take Boston -1.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-12-16 | Yankees +112 v. Blue Jays | 3-2 | Win | 112 | 17 h 57 m | Show | |
New York Yankees +112 The Yankees head into Toronto on Tuesday night and send their ace to the mound, making them a very valuable play at the given price. Motivation is going to be a factor here for sure. New York hasn't forgotten what the Jays did to them last year in the 2nd half. Toronto went for it at the deadline and dominated the Yankees, forcing them to play in the Wild Card Game, only to see them fall to Houston. It won't be immediate revenge, but getting to the Jays early this year would be a good feeling for the Yankees. New York was washed away on Sunday Night Baseball and with an off day on Monday, they will send ace Masahiro Tanaka to the hill. Tanaka finished with 5.2 innings of work in his season opener allowing just 2 runs on 4 hits. Don't forget he was returning from injury, which means he shook some of the rust off and he did it with a solid start. He should be on a lesser strict pitch count, which will really help him out here. Tanaka has dominated the Blue Jays head to head. He's gone 5-2, with an ERA of only 2.23 in 7 career starts. Some trends to consider. Blue Jays are 1-4 in their last 5 games on astroturf. Blue Jays are 0-4 in their last 4 Tuesday games. Considering Tanaka's success against the Jays, this line has plenty of value here at plus money on Tuesday night. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB ML Play |

04-12-16 | Pirates v. Tigers -127 | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
Detroit Tigers -127 The Tigers welcome in the Pirates for another matinee affair and the home team in Detroit has solid value here. The Tigers hold a solid edge in the pitching match up and with little juice to give here, this is a nice price. Detroit fell in the opener 7-4, but this is a solid bounce back spot here. Detroit's offense showed how good they were as they never stopped fighting in the loss on Monday. They continued to chip away, but simply ran out of time. Both Nick Castellanos and JD Martinez homered on Monday as this lineup is by far one of the most impressive in the MLB top to bottom. Detroit will send out Anibal Sanchez, who already has a win under his belt and also has decent numbers inside Comerica Park. Sanchez has gone 22-14 in 48 career starts. Pittsburgh will send out Juan Nicasio, who will be making his first career start against Detroit. This will be the first time he sees a lot of these hitters, which certainly poses a problem for him as he doesn't have any experience to go with. He's rarely seen the likes of Miguel Cabrera and JD Martinez, two players who are always tough when seeing them the first time around. Some trends to consider. Tigers are 5-1 in their last 6 Tuesday games. Tigers are 81-34 in their last 115 interleague home games. Detroit has had a to of success in interleague play and especially coming off a loss, this is a nice spot for them to bounce back. Detroit gets a solid outing from Anibal Sanchez, as they even the series up with the Pirates here. Back Detroit. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-11-16 | Hornets +7 v. Celtics | 114-100 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
Charlotte Hornets +7 The Hornets head into Boston on Monday night and with the visitors catching 7 points, they hold solid value here. With just 2 games to go, the race is on for the 3rd spot in the East. Currently Charlotte has the short end of the stick as they sit in 6th place, but are just 1 game behind both Miami and Boston who sit in 4th and 5th. The Hornets know they can only go as far as Kemba Walker will take them. The Hornets G struggled on Sunday as he simply couldn't get it going and never picked up steam. He is the key to victory for them as had totaled 56 points in the previous 2 games combined prior to his poor performances against the Wizards. Charlotte still has a chance to get home court in the first round too. They get a bad Magic team in the season finale, which means back to back wins can jump them into 4th place. There is still plenty to play for here in these two games. Some trends to consider. Hornets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest. Hornets are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The Celtics are a very tough home team. However this is just a lot of points to get in a game that features two teams who are so close together in talent. Back Charlotte. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-11-16 | Padres v. Phillies -120 | 4-3 | Loss | -120 | 15 h 46 m | Show | |
Philadelphia Phillies -120 The Phillies get set to take on the Padres Monday afternoon and even with them laying rare juice, they are valuable in this spot. The Phillies come in off an impressive series win over the Mets. They took the 2nd and 3rd games of the series, knocking off Matt Harvey on Sunday in the finale. This comes after they were swept away in Cincinnati to start the season. In one of those games against the Reds, second year pitcher Aaron Nola took the hill. Nola was impressive last season and picked up right where he left off as he threw 7.0 innings of 1 run baseball. Nola continues to be more and more dominant and has a 1-0 record against the Padres in 2 starts. Padres starter Andrew Cashner was knocked around in his debut, allowing 5 runs to the Dodgers. Cashner is one to really lose his composure once one thing goes wrong. If the Phillies can get him early, they should be in for a solid day. Some trends to consider. Phillies are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win. Phillies are 49-22 in their last 71 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. With this being the Phillies home opener, emotions will be high. Expect them to really come out here and play well as they get a solid start from Nola once again. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-10-16 | Astros v. Brewers UNDER 7.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
Astros vs. Brewers Under 7.5 The Houston Astros start Dallas Keuchel in this one. Keuchel has really turned into a terrific starting pitcher for the Astros. He was only good at home for a while, but he has become excellent no matter where he pitches in the past year. Keuchel has an almost unmatched ability to induce weak contact on the ground. His stuff sinks very late, and that makes it tough for batters to get the barrel onto the ball. Jimmy Nelson has been solid at home in the past, and the Astros offense is aggressive. Nelson has the ability to miss bats, and I think he'll punch out quite a few in this game. Dan Bellino is the home plate umpire here, and he has one of the bigger strike zones in the big leagues. On this Sunday afternoon game, look for both offenses to have trouble getting things going. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play |

04-09-16 | Predators +131 v. Stars | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 54 m | Show | |
Nashville Predators +131 The Predators head into Dallas on Saturday and at the listed price, the Preds have a lot of value. This team still has a ton to play for. Currently, they sit tied in points with the Sharks, so seeding is on the line here. Nashville comes into this one on a very high note, as they've won back to back games. They took down Colorado 4-3 and then followed that up with a huge overtime win over the Coyotes. In the 2nd half of the season, winning streaks have been a big part of the Predators success as they seem to put together streaks of 3+ all the time. Nashville has dominated the in division games as well lately. The Predators have gone 6-2 in their last 8 against the Central as it's been a common theme this year for them to defeat in division opponents. Some trends to consider. Predators are 7-3 in their last 10 Saturday games. Predators are 9-4 in their last 13 games following a win. Considering the situation and the high pressured situation, the Predators have the experience to go on the road here and steal a win. Look for them to use that experience here against a Dallas team not used to these high pressured games this late into the season. Back Nashville. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NHL ML Play |

04-09-16 | Penguins v. Flyers -123 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 24 h 46 m | Show | |
Philadelphia Flyers -123 The Flyers welcome in the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday afternoon and the Flyers are one team in the 3 team playoff race that controls their own fate. Philadelphia has 2 games remaining and with 2 wins, they can clinch a playoff spot without any question. A loss in regulation or even in overtime can put a major damper on their chances as they battle against the Red Wings and Bruins. The Flyers motivation is obviously extremely high, there is no question about that, but home ice has been absolutely a huge key for the Flyers. Philadelphia has gone 22-10-4-4 at home and has gotten solid play on the defensive end. Phili has conceded just 2.35 GAA to the opposition inside the Wells Fargo Center. The Flyers have also dominated the head to head here overall. They have taken 8 of the last 11 meetings head to head wise. Some trends to consider. Flyers are 5-1 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Flyers are 4-1 in their last 5 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. With the motivation factor extremely high here for Philadelphia and with the Penguins already clinching themselves, look for the Flyers to have a mental edge here as they grab a home win here. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NHL ML Play |

04-09-16 | Yankees +104 v. Tigers | 8-4 | Win | 104 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
New York Yankees ML The New York Yankees rested their key hitters on Friday, so they should have a full lineup ready to go on Saturday. New York didn't score a single run on Friday, but that should change against Mike Pelfrey on Saturday afternoon. Pelfrey had a decent year last year for the Twins, but he has a long history of being bad, and he often starts the season in poor form. The Yankees have some impressive power hitters in the order, and they'll make him pay for his mistakes. C.C. Sabathia starts here for the Yankees, but if he has trouble the Yankees have a tremendous bullpen to turn things over to. That's a huge plus in a game like this. Detroit is at a severe disadvantage if this becomes a bullpen game late. Look for New York to bounce back and win Saturday afternoon as they get to Pelfrey early and often. Take the New York Yankees. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB ML Play |

04-09-16 | Senators v. Bruins OVER 5.5 | 6-1 | Win | 118 | 20 h 28 m | Show | |
Ottawa vs. Boston Over 5.5 +118 The Bruins play the biggest game of the year as it's a must win here on Saturday. With plus money on the Over this total has a lot of value given the situation at hand. Boston won't hold anything back here. The Bruins will be in full out attack mode, knowing they must get goals early and often to put this one away. Ottawa is by no means a good defensive team either, which is a giant plus here. On the season, the Sens average 3.38 GAA on the road. Combine that with the Bruins and their 2.90 goals per game and Boston's offense could be in for a big night. Don't sleep on this Ottawa offense either. They put in nearly 2.8 goals per game and with the Bruins in full attack mode here, they should be able to sneak in some counter attacks and get some good looks on net. Boston is nothing special defensively either. The Bruins concede 3.05 GAA per home game as they have gone a respectable 20-18 to the over inside the TD Garden. Some trends to consider. Over is 7-3-4 in the last 14 meetings. Over is 4-0-4 in the last 8 meetings in Boston. Look for a lot of chances here both teams. With Boston attacking, Ottawa has a chance to certainly get some cheap ones in themselves to help the Over. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NHL O/U Play |

04-08-16 | Knicks v. 76ers UNDER 201 | 109-102 | Loss | -101 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers Under 201 The Knicks and 76ers get set for action on Friday and with nothing to play for these two teams, the Under really holds some solid value here. Both teams are in the bottom of the East and have been there all season long. Both the Knicks and 76ers have been incredibly sloppy offensively this season as they simply do not have enough talent nor firepower to find consistent scoring. This year, the Knicks have averaged 98.4 points per game while the 76ers have scored just 97.1. When looking at the Knicks, this team has been an under bet all season long. New York has gone 17-22 to the Under on the road and 33-45-1 to the Under overall on the season. If lack of offense wasn't enough of a big problem, off the court, both teams have had their issues. Carmelo Anthony has expressed a lot of frustration and even told a fan to ask for his money back. The 76ers just had their GM quit as he wrote a 13 page paper talking about how the team hasn't progressed. Both teams want this season to just end as they ride it out. Some trends to consider. Under is 10-2 in the last 12 meetings in Philadelphia. Under is 7-1 in 76ers last 8 overall. Look for a very unmotivated performance here from both teams, leading to a very sloppy offensive game that's extremely lower scoring. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play |

04-07-16 | Ducks v. Kings -139 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 45 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Kings -139 The Kings and Ducks play in a crucial game with major Pacific Division implications on the line here Thursday night and it's the home team Los Angeles that has giant value here. The Kings are in search of their first division crown since 1990-1991. With Ducks have a game in hand which is huge in this spot, making this game so important for Los Angeles. They come in on a high as they took down Calgary in overtime 5-4 last time out. Jeff Carter was the man behind the win as he stays hot, scoring 6 goals over the past 6 games. Goalie Jonathan Quick will also be back in net for the Kings on Thursday and he's had some success against the Ducks in his career. He's gone 15-10-6 against them and has been dominant overall this year as he sits with a GAA of just 2.23. Los Angeles has also dominated inside the Staples Center. The Kings have gone 25-12-1-1 on the season while holding the opposition to just 2.23 goals. Some trends to consider. Kings are 4-1 in their last 5 Thursday games. Kings are 4-1 in their last 5 home games. Los Angeles is in a tough spot as they have played 1 more game than the Ducks. With all that said, a win here is almost a must if they hope to grab the Pacific Division. Given their success at home, look for them to really come out and play well here. Back Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NHL ML Play |

04-07-16 | Rangers +111 v. Angels | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 9 m | Show | |
Texas Rangers ML The Texas Rangers lineup is much better than the Los Angeles Angels. Of course the Angels have the best player in baseball in Mike Trout, but they don't have very much else. This Angels team is a team on the wrong path right now. I don't see them finishing above .500 this season. Texas is coming off a blown save in the ninth inning in their game against Seattle on Wednesday afternoon. The Rangers offense hasn't broken out yet this year, but they'll get a chance here. Hector Santiago is pitching for the Angels here, and Santiago hasn't been good against this Rangers lineup. Texas' lineup has a .337 OBP against him. Derek Holland is healthy, and when healthy he has shown some real potential in his career. The Angels aren't going to be able to outscore teams very often this year, and their bullpen got worse from last year to this year. Some betting trends of note in this one. The Rangers are 8-1 in Holland's last 9 starts vs. Los Angeles. The Angels are 1-4 in Santiago's last 5 home starts vs. the Rangers. Texas is 28-12 in Holland's last 40 vs. the NL West. We'll take the slight underdog here. Take Texas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-07-16 | Wolves +5 v. Kings | 105-97 | Win | 100 | 14 h 4 m | Show | |
Minnesota Timberwolves +5 Minnesota heads into Sacramento on Thursday night as they catch 5 points, which gives them tremendous value here. Minnesota comes in on a very high note after going into Golden State and erasing a 17 point deficit to steal a win in overtime against the best team in the NBA. Here's where this gets good, there is no possibility of a let down spot here because Minnesota is playing for nothing right now. However, playing for nothing may be a bit of a reach because this team is so young and excited they aren't throwing in the towel on the season yet. Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine, and Karl Anthony-Towns all played a giant part in the win as the Timberwolves "Big Three" are really starting to play well together. On the Sacramento side of things, this team has already announced they are going to bench some players down the stretch so they get a top 10 protected draft pick next year. The motivation to win just isn't there for the Kings right now. Some trends to consider. Timberwolves are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Timberwolves are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Minnesota has taken all 3 games this season against the Kings. Look for them to use that energy against a non motivated Kings team here tonight. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-07-16 | Red Wings +137 v. Bruins | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
Detroit Red Wings +137 The Red Wings head into Boston on Thursday night and the visitors have tremendous value at the given price. The race is on in the NHL between the Red Wings, Flyers, and Bruins. After Detroit took down the Flyers 3-0 on Wednesday, it sets them up for a possible clincher here. A win over Boston on Thursday would secure them their 25th straight post season berth. Detroit has caught fire and its came at the right time. On the Boston side of things, it's the complete opposite. The Bruins have dropped 8 of their last 10 and the feeling in their locker room is that the collapse really looks like it's going to be completed. This is team is a defeated bunch right now. Jimmy Howard has taken over goal over the past 3 games and really provided a spark for this team. He's allowed just 4 goals in that span, with Detroit winning all of the 3 games. Some trends to consider. Red Wings are 4-1 in their last 5 overall. Red Wings are 5-2 in their last 7 Thursday games. Motivation is at an all time high for this Red Wings team. They are scorching hot right now and combine that with a reeling Bruins team who looks defeated, and at this listed price, the Red Wings are worth the play. Back Detroit. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-06-16 | Clippers v. Lakers +12 | 91-81 | Win | 100 | 14 h 31 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Lakers +12 The Lakers and Clippers both will be in the 2nd leg of a back to back, as they played each other on Tuesday night. The Clippers were the home team and dominated the Lakers, but in this spot, the Lakers are the team with value. This is a solid spot where we could see some players rested for the Clippers. They have no chance, officially, of catching the Thunder for the 3rd spot, which means this game means virtually nothing. Why risk playing stars like Chris Paul and others against a team you just beat by over 20 in back to back nights? The Lakers will come into this one with a little more pride here too. With the court painted purple and yellow, Los Angeles will have their season ticket holders in the house this go around. With the Kobe Bryant farewell tour just a few games away from closing down and Los Angeles will certainly play with a lot of intention and motivation on their "painted colored" home court here today. Some trends to consider.  Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Home team is 17-8 ATS in the last 25 meetings. With the Clippers benching a few players, combined with the Lakers being on their own home court this time around, look for a much closer game here tonight. Back the Lakers. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-06-16 | White Sox v. A's UNDER 7.5 | 1-2 | Win | 102 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
White Sox vs. Athletics Under 7.5 Carlos Rodon should breakout as a star very soon. Sonny Gray is already a star. The A's did a good job giving Gray a couple extra days of rest after his recent bout with food poisoning, and he should be good to go now. Rodon has some very good stuff, and he has a bit of a deceptive delivery. I expect Oakland's offense to be bad against left handed pitching this year. Gray has a nice track record against the current White Sox players. Dan Bellino is calling the balls and strikes in this game, and that is good for both pitchers. Bellino has one of the highest called strike percentages of any umpire in the majors. The total has moved up to 7.5, where I believe it is a good value. A couple betting trends of note in this game. The under is 5-1-1 in Rodon's last 7 road starts. The under is 6-2-2 in Gray's last 10 games vs. an opponent with a winning record. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 6* MLB O/U Play |

04-06-16 | Flyers v. Red Wings UNDER 5 | 0-3 | Win | 123 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
Philadelphia vs. Detroit Under 5 The Flyers and Red Wings play in the most crucial game for both teams this season, making this have a playoff like feel. Currently both teams are right in the middle of playoff races. Detroit and Boston sit tied with 91 points, which one of them will receive the automatic bid for 3rd in the division. But both teams will also battle with the Flyers, who also have 91 points and are in the 2nd Wild Card. With that whole scenario in hand, this is going to be a playoff like game. Neither team will want to make the early mistake, or any mistake at all for that matter. Expect both teams to really be on the defensive side of things in this one. Both goalies have been completely dominant as well. Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek has conceded just 2.35 GAA and has a SV% of .920. On the Flyers side of things, Steve Mason is right there with him. Mason has a GAA of just 2.53 and a SV% of .918. Some trends to consider. Under is 11-1-2 in Red Wings last 14 Wednesday games. Under is 13-6-5 in Flyers last 24 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Expect this one to be a very tight game. Both teams will look to stack their defense in front of the net, really not allowing many chances either way. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-06-16 | Astros v. Yankees -125 | 6-16 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
New York Yankees -125 The Yankees get set for game 2 against the Astros on Wednesday night and the home team with little juice holds value here. New York fell in their season opener 5-3 to the Astros as cold weather and Dallas Keuchel proved to be too much for them. An errant throw in the 8th inning also set up the Astros for a 3 run inning that proved to be too much to overcome. New York will send RH Michael Pineda to the hill, a guy they are relying on so heavily this season to perform well. Pineda comes in off a season that saw him finish with a career high in wins, but he also really developed a much better breaking ball to add to his pitches. With him being the #2 behind Tanaka, he'll have a lot of pressure on his shoulders to perform as the Yankees rotation is one of their biggest question marks this year. On Tuesday we got to see also how deep the Yankees line up is. Starlin Castro and Didi Gregorius both played a part in the Yankees runs, which is going to be something we see all year long. They have a solid 1-9 with speed, average, and power. Some trends to consider. Yankees are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Yankees are 37-16 in their last 53 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. The Yankees are in a solid bounce back position here. Look for Pineda to really have a solid game here, as the Yankees even things up in the series with a win. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-06-16 | Giants -125 v. Brewers | 3-4 | Loss | -125 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |
San Francisco Giants ML The San Francisco Giants are going for the sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in this one, and I think they'll get it. San Francisco is a team to watch this year. Most people say to watch them because it's an even numbered year. I say to watch out for them because of the talent they have on their roster. Jeff Samardzija is new to the Giants team. He had a rough Spring, but his stuff is good and the Brewers lineup is subpar. Spring results aren't very good predictors for pitchers either. Milwaukee starts Taylor Jungmann who was extremely inconsistent last year. He has struggled with teams who have a good scouting report on him because he really only has two pitches. He gets far too fastball heavy in many starts. Some will shy away from this one because this is a home team looking to avoid a sweep. The Giants are the much better team, and I think they take care of business again. A couple trends of note. The Brewers are 0-5 in Jungmann's last 5 starts. The Giants are 10-1 in their last 11 games vs. Milwaukee. Take San Francisco. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-05-16 | Dodgers v. Padres OVER 6.5 | 3-0 | Loss | -121 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
Los Angeles vs. San Diego Over 6.5 The Dodgers and Padres continue their series on Tuesday night and the listed total of 6.5 has solid value on the Over here. Both offenses have the ability to put up runs and the Dodgers at least showed that on Monday with a 15 spot. Both of these pitchers have struggled in the current situations. Scott Kazmir had a horrific spring as he finished with an ERA of 5.51. He also battled fatigue in his arm, something that has bothered him throughout his comeback tenure. On the Padres side of things, James Shields comes in off his worst season in a while. He posted his highest ERA since 2010. Shields has a 3.66 ERA against the Dodgers in his career as well as he's shown many signs of struggles against them. Don't sleep on these offenses either. The Dodgers put up 15 runs on Monday as they couldn't be stopped. Everyone go in on the fun as they got to Padres starter Tyson Ross for 8 runs. For San Diego, they ran into Clayton Kershaw unfortunately, but luckily for them they go up against Scott Kazmir, who has an ERA of 4.91 in two career starts against them. Some trends to consider. Over is 7-1 in Coopers last 8 games behind home plate. Over is 24-8-1 in Shields' last 33 starts on grass. Expect both teams to have a lot of opportunities with runners in scoring position in this one. Given both pitchers have struggled against the offenses they're facing, this game has a lot of value at just 6.5. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play |

04-05-16 | Giants -133 v. Brewers | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 19 h 47 m | Show | |
San Francisco Giants -133 The Giants get set for game 2 of a 3 game series against the Brewers and they hold tremendous value here at the given price. San Francisco spoiled Opening Day for the Brewers faithful and they did it in style. San Francisco hit back to back to back home runs , and behind a solid Madison Bumgarner start, they had no problem handling the Brewers 12-3. Like they did on Opening Day, they have a solid edge in the pitching matchup. The Giants gave Johnny Cueto 130 million this past offseason, and while he was sketchy in his time with the Royals, Cueto has to be happy to be back in the National League. When he was with the Reds, he had Cy Young caliber stuff. Look for him to really bounce back this year as he is back in familiar territory. In his time with Cinci, Cueto dominated the Brewers. He has gone 9-3 with an ERA of 2.87 in 18 career starts against Milwaukee. Some trends to consider. Giants are 32-15 in their last 47 during game 2 of a series. Giants are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Milwaukee. With Cueto's success against Milwaukee and how good and deep this Giants offense is, they have a lot of value here on Tuesday night. Back San Francisco. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-05-16 | Mets v. Royals OVER 7.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -121 | 14 h 16 m | Show | |
Mets vs. Royals Over 7.5 Noah Syndergaard was a much better pitcher at home last year than on the road. Syndergaard has great stuff, but he might be a bit too hyped up for this game. This Royals offense is known for making contact and producing big innings when needed. Chris Young is a fly ball pitcher, and he's a guy with subpar stuff. The Mets offense may not be terrific, but it isn't bad. New York has plenty of guys who can take Young deep if he makes mistakes. In this one, we have the wind howling out at 25 miles per hour according to the forecasts. In addition, Sam Holbrook is the home plate umpire and he has one of the smallest strike zones in the majors. This is a low total given all of these factors. A couple betting trends to consider here. The over is 6-0-1 in Syndergaard's last 7 starts. The over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between the Mets and Royals. Expect both teams to really come out swinging here, as they have plenty of success against the opposing starter in this spot. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB O/U Play |

04-04-16 | White Sox v. A's UNDER 6.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -104 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
White Sox vs. Athletics Under 6.5 It's no secret that both Chris Sale and Sonny Gray are elite pitchers, and I expect both of them to bring their best efforts on Monday night. These are two guys who are essentially unhittable when they are on their game. The White Sox lineup got a bit better in the offseason, but I'm still not convinced they are all that good. Chicago does have a good bullpen that will surprise people this year. The A's offense is one of the weakest in the American League, and Sale should shut them down. Both defenses appear to have gotten better since last season. Oakland is certainly a pitcher-friendly ballpark, and I'm actually surprised this number isn't a bit lower. This one projects as a 2-1 type of game. I'll take the value on the under in this Opening Day matchup. Some trends to consider. Under is 4-0 in White Sox last 4 road games, 4-0 in White Sox last 4 during game 1 of a series, and 9-4 in Sales last 13 starts during game 1 of a series. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-04-16 | Villanova v. North Carolina -2.5 | 77-74 | Loss | -108 | 21 h 13 m | Show | |
North Carolina -2.5 The Tar Heels and Wildcats meet in the NCAA Championship on Monday night and it's North Carolina who has plenty of value here. Villanova does come in off a blowout win over Oklahoma in the Final Four, but this team shot over 70% from the field. A team shooting 70% is something that simply doesn't happen often. Don't erase the fact that nerves will be a factor as this is the biggest stage on the season obviously they'll be playing in. North Carolina has consistently been a dominant team this year. The Tar Heels have scored no less than 83 points in this tournament as they have been one of the best teams all around. They not only hit the 3 ball, but they also have made it a dominant presence inside, with them getting a lot of 2nd and 3rd chances thanks to their offensive rebounding. UNC also has history on their side. They have gone 11-5 against Villanova overall and 5-1 in NCAA Tournament games. While it doesn't mean all that much, it could give a small mental edge to the Tar Heels here. Some trends to consider. Tar Heels are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Tar Heels are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. North Carolina is a better team all around and with their ability to create more than one chance offensively, they get a major advantage here. Back North Carolina. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-04-16 | Blue Jays +107 v. Rays | 5-3 | Win | 107 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
Toronto Blue Jays +107 After being in total control on Opening Day, the Blue Jays look to make it back to back wins in Tampa when they take on the Rays Monday night. Toronto got out of the gates quickly on Sunday, scoring a pair of runs in the Top of the 1st inning. This offense is one of the most dangerous in baseball and Edwin Encarnacion and Troy Tulowitzki showed that off in the 5-3 win Sunday. Toronto hands the ball to R.A Dickey, who is coming off a solid end to last season. Dickey finished with an ERA of just 2.43 in the month of September as he was one of the most dominant pitchers with his knuckleball. As for the Rays, they'll give the ball to Drew Smyly, who missed 3 months last season with a shoulder injury. Smyly doesn't match up well against these Blue Jays, especially against Josh Donaldson. Donaldson has gone 5 for 8 against him with a home run in his career. Some trends to consider. Blue Jays are 16-6 in their last 22 during game 2 of a series. Blue Jays are 49-23 in their last 72 games on astroturf. At plus money, the Blue Jays hold plenty of value here. This team is much better offensively and they have an edge in the pitching matchup. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* MLB ML Play |

04-03-16 | Mets v. Royals UNDER 7.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Mets vs. Royals Under 7.5 A rematch of the 2015 World Series takes place on Sunday Night Baseball and the Under has solid value here given the two pitchers. First off, emotions come into play here. They will certainly be high given the magnitude of this game. The stand alone national TV game, along with both teams remembering what took place in October. Expect a few nerves here from the hitters. Both pitchers also have nasty stuff to work with. Harvey and Ventura both can get it up there  with their fastball and have really solid breaking balls to work with. Both of them will be on their games today and with their ability to change speeds so well, this will be tough on the hitters. Some trends to consider. Under is 4-1 in Volquezs last 5 starts during game 1 of a series. Under is 6-1 in Mets last 7 during game 1 of a series. With all the emotions running through both teams and with the ability for both pitchers to produce a lot of swings and misses, expect runs to be a premium here. Small ball and manufacturing runs is the theme in this game, as the total stays Under. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* MLB O/U Play |

04-03-16 | Pacers -4 v. Knicks | 92-87 | Win | 100 | 8 h 60 m | Show | |
Indiana Pacers -4 The Pacers head into the Garden to take on the Knicks and the visitors have plenty of value here. Indiana needs this game more than anything so the motivation will be high here. The Pacers sit in 8th place in the Eastern Conference, just 2.0 games clear of the Bulls. While they look to fend them off, they also are just a 0.5 game behind Detroit for 7th. It makes a giant difference if they catch them as they would not get Cleveland in round 1. The Knicks motivation just isn't there either. This team has looked sluggish over the past month, really just trying to get to the finish line. Through all the drama that has unfolded this season, finishing this season and retooling for next year is on their minds. Indiana has dominated the head to head series as well. The Pacers have own 5 straight in the series and took care of business in the last one in come from behind fashion 108-105. Some trends to consider. Pacers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Favorite is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Look for the Pacers to really come out firing here as they handle the Knicks with ease on Sunday. Back Indiana. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Chicago Bulls -2.5 The Bulls get set for one of their biggest games of the season as they take on the Detroit Pistons Saturday night and it's the home team with plenty of value here. Chicago currently sits on the outside looking in, as they are 1.0 game behind the Pacers for the 8th spot. They are also within striking distance of the Pistons, 2.0 games behind them. The Bulls stumbled through a stretch against lower tier teams, but have recently showed life with wins over the Pacers and Rockets, both on the road. The home/road discrepancy is a huge ordeal here as well. The Pistons come in just 15-22 away from home while the Bulls are a solid 24-14 inside the United Center. Some trends to consider. Bulls are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Central. Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Chicago is completely healthy here. This team has been through just about everything, but with all 5 starters currently healthy, look for Butler and Rose to have big games here as they come up huge in a game the Bulls win and cover. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play |

04-02-16 | Sharks v. Predators -126 | 3-2 | Loss | -126 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Nashville Predators -126 The Predators welcome in the Sharks on Saturday night and they hold solid value here as they continue their playoff push. Nashville has is looking to solidify their spot in the playoffs, but has dropped 3 in a row. They're still in a solid spot to find themselves as the top Wild Card and a return home is just what this team needs. Nashville has gone 21-11-5-1 inside Bridgestone Arena this season and they've dominated the  Sharks there. Nashville has won 6 straight home contests with the Sharks. Nashville G Pekka Rinne has also been a force against the Sharks this season. Rinne has turned away 48 of 51 shots to win both meetings with this season. Some trends to consider. Predators are 4-1 in their last 5 home games. Predators are 7-2 in their last 9 Saturday games. Nashville has had 3 chances now to clinch a spot in the playoffs and has failed to. Here, with home ice and a couple days to refresh, the Predators will have plenty of motivation and be able to handle business. Back Nashville. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NHL ML Play |

04-02-16 | Villanova v. Oklahoma UNDER 145.5 | 95-51 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 6 m | Show | |
Villanova vs. Oklahoma Under 145.5 The Final Four is set and a pair of #2 seeds are set to face off as the Villanova Wildcats and Oklahoma Sooners get set to battle for a spot in the title game. With the situation and the way both defenses have played, the Under has solid value here. Look at what Villanova did to Kansas. The overall #1 seed was one of the hottest teams in the nation heading into that game and the Wildcats defense held them to 59 points. They absolutely suffocated shooters and didn't let the Jayhawks dictate anything inside. On the Oklahoma side of things, they did the same to Oregon. The Ducks loved to play a fast paced game and Oklahoma was having none of that. The Sooners did the same thing the Wildcats did to the Jayhawks and didn't let Oregon get any open looks, nor did they let them get to the rim. Both defenses have been really solid all year long as well. Oklahoma has allowed just 70 points per game while the Wildcats sit at just 63. They didn't put these numbers up against bad teams either. The Sooners were in one of the best conferences in the Big 12 and the Wildcats are in a heavily scoring league in the Big East. Some trends to consider. Under is 20-8 in Sooners last 28 neutral site games.Under is 8-1 in Wildcats last 9 vs. Big 12. Don't rule out nerves here either. The stage is big and both teams will certainly not want to make any mistakes. Look for a slow paced game with both teams really closing out defensively as this has the making of a lower scoring affair. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB O/U Play |

04-02-16 | Villanova -2 v. Oklahoma | 95-51 | Win | 100 | 23 h 32 m | Show | |
Villanova -2 The Villanova Wildcats lost 78-55 when they met up with Oklahoma in Hawaii on December 7. Why then would Villanova be the favorite in this game? Because a lot of things have changed since that early season meeting. Villanova went 4 for 32 from 3 point range in that game. The Wildcats struggled badly with their shot early in the season, but have both improved from long range later in the year and also realized that they need to get the ball inside more often. Oklahoma knocked down 14 of 26 from long range in that first game. The oddsmakers obviously respect Villanova a great deal at this point to make them a favorite in this rematch. Oklahoma is likely to be the public side in this game because of the attention surrounding Buddy Hield and his amazing performances throughout the NCAA Tournament. Villanova has more good players than does Oklahoma. Against a good defense, it can be tough for one player to carry a team to victory. Villanova is definitely a good defense. A few betting trends of note. Oklahoma is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games. Villanova is 34-15-2 ATS in their last 51 non-conference games. Oklahoma is 3-11 ATS in their last 14 vs. a team with a winning record. Take Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

04-01-16 | Morehead State v. Nevada -4 | 82-85 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
Nevada -4 The Nevada Wolf Pack have a bright future in store. Eric Musselman is doing a really nice job with this program. Musselman is making waves on the recruiting trail, and this year's Nevada team is playing its best basketball at the right time of the year, so Musselman and his staff must be doing something right when it comes to player development. Nevada played a very sloppy game last time out and committed 20 turnovers. Despite that, they won at home against Morehead State by 9 points. While Morehead State has a good team, they don't have the overall athleticism that Nevada has on its roster. The Nevada Wolf Pack have a nice homecourt advantage, and this is both teams final game of the year. Nevada has more momentum coming into this game, and that is important in this spot. A couple betting trends of note. Nevada is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games. Nevada is also 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games. Take Nevada. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB ATS Play |

04-01-16 | Raptors v. Grizzlies +5.5 | 99-95 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
Memphis Grizzlies +5.5 The Grizzlies get set to welcome in the Toronto Raptors on Friday night and its the home team with the advantage here. Situationally this is the spot for Memphis. They will have off tomorrow while the Raptors will have a huge game against the Spurs. Toronto does not do well in these kinds of situations. They are just 1-2 ATS in their last 3 front legs of the back to back and 1-4 ATS when they lay around this number as road favorites in the first leg. Memphis has battled injuries all season long and while they still continue to do so, they at least have their man in the middle back in Zach Randolph. This Memphis team is a completely different one with him and he should be in store for a big game here. Memphis is also good after getting upset in the previous game. They stumbled against the Denver Nuggets, but after an upset loss like that one, they have gone 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 chances. Some trends to consider. Grizzlies are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 Friday games. Grizzlies are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 vs. Eastern Conference. Memphis will come into this extremely motivated and should have no issues keeping this one close, with a chance to grab a win. Back Memphis. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NBA ATS Play |

04-01-16 | 76ers v. Hornets -15 | 91-100 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 44 m | Show | |
Charlotte Hornets -15 The Hornets return home and get set to take on the 76ers and even with the high number, this is an extremely valuable play. Charlotte comes in just off going on the road and defeating the 76ers. On Tuesday night the Hornets dominated the 76ers in all aspects of the game. Charlotte out-rebounded the 76ers by 20 and held them to just 31.2% shooting. The motivation level is also extremely high here for the Hornets. Charlotte can fall anywhere from the 3rd seed to the 6th in the East. Every game makes a huge difference here down the stretch and this is a golden opportunity for the Hornets to pick up an easy win and they certainly won't be looking ahead in anyway. The home/away discrepancy is also huge here. The 76ers are just 3-35 SU while the Hornets are 27-11 SU. These two teams are just completely different when it comes to home/away. Some trends to consider. Hornets are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Hornets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. Don't expect any sort of look over here. The Hornets will have no problem with Phili once again and really dominate this game. Back Charlotte. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-31-16 | Nets v. Cavs -14 | 87-107 | Win | 100 | 17 h 58 m | Show | |
Cleveland -14 The Cleveland Cavs have plenty of reasons to be up for this game. Cleveland is coming off a massive collapse against the Houston Rockets in their last outing. LeBron James didn't play in that game, but that was a game that the Cavs definitely should have won. Cleveland will have James back on the floor here, and the Cavs are now only a couple games up on the Toronto Raptors for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland needs to get back on track. Combine that with the fact that the last time Cleveland played against Brooklyn they lost by 9 points as 9.5 point favorites in a game at Brooklyn. The Nets have been a terrible team away from home this year, and this looks like a good beat down spot for Cleveland. A couple betting trends to consider here. Brooklyn is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games. The home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these two teams. Take Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-31-16 | Rangers -138 v. Hurricanes | 3-4 | Loss | -138 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
New York Rangers ML The Rangers head into Carolina and situationally are in a such a good spot here. With the juice not currently that high, the Rangers have solid value here. New York hasn't played since Saturday, as they got an extended break, which was welcomed and much needed. Head to head wise, this isn't even a contest. The Rangers have dominated in all aspects when they play the Hurricanes, making this side even nicer. New York has won 9 straight overall in the head to head of this series and 19 of 20 overall. New has allowed an average of just 1.29 GAA in 7 straight games against the Canes. G Henrik Lundqvist has also been a force against the Hurricanes. He has gone 23-9-1 in his career against them. Carolina really comes into this one reeling, losing 7 of their last 9 as the playoffs are looking dimmer and dimmer for this team. Some trends to consider. Rangers are 45-19 in their last 64 vs. a team with a losing record. Rangers are 49-21 in their last 70 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. Look for New York to continue to their dominance here and really handle business against the Hurricanes once again. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL ML Play |

03-31-16 | Predators +125 v. Penguins | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
Nashville Predators ML The Predators head into Pittsburgh on Thursday night and the visitors hold solid value at the given price. There is really no discrepancy here between these two teams. Both are playoff bound and two of the best in the NHL. Even with Nashville being on the road, they aren't in a bad position here. The Preds have gone 18-14-7-0 away from Nashville. Look for James Neal to be the difference maker in this one. Neal has really taken off lately, sparking this Predators team on both ends of the ice. Neal has tallied 11 points (7 goals, 4 assists) in his last 8 games. Nashville has also had success against the Eastern Conference lately. The Predators have gone 6-2 in their last 8 games against Conference foes and with a win here tonight, they can clinch a spot in the postseason. Some trends to consider. Predators are 7-2 in their last 9 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. Predators are 6-2 in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest With these teams being almost identical, there is not much separating them, which makes this price even better. Look for the Preds to play with a bit of a chip on their shoulder as they look to clinch a postseason berth. Back Nashville. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NHL ML Play |

03-31-16 | Blue Jackets v. Islanders OVER 5.5 | 3-4 | Win | 110 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Columbus vs. New York Over The Blue Jackets and Islanders get set for a Thursday night battle and the total listed at plus money on the Over has solid value here. Looking at the Blue Jackets first, this team has been horrendous all year long when it comes to conceding goals. The Jackets give up 3.07 GAA overall and 3.11 GAA on the road. The Blue Jackets really struggle with holding the fort down on the defensive end, as they simply cannot keep up with the faster teams in the NHL. On the Islanders side of things, New York really picks things up when they play inside the Barclays Center. The Isles average 3.06 goals per game, as they turn things up a couple notches at home. New York will get plenty of odd man rushes going and will crash the net when putting a shot on target. Some trends to consider here. Over is 5-2-1 in Blue Jackets last 8 Thursday games. Over is 4-1 in Islanders last 5 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game. You're going to see a lot of chances on net here. Both teams will push the issue and both really do like to attack he net for 2nd and 3rd chances. Look for that to be the key here as goals come a plenty here, making the Over very valuable. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NHL O/U Play |

03-30-16 | Heat -10 v. Lakers | Top | 100-102 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 7 m | Show |
Miami Heat -10 The Heat head into the Staples Center to take on the Lakers and there are plenty of distractions right now for this Lakers team to deal with. Along with that, they are just plain bad, making the Heat a very valuable option here. The Lakers first distraction comes from Kobe Bryant. These are his final games in his long career that saw him have so much success in the purple and gold. The focus right now really isn't on the team, it's on him. And for Bryant himself, he is in a very emotional place and certainly won't be there mentally at 100%. There was also a story to break about D'Angelo Russell and how he is being secluded from the team right now for some actions in a prank gone wrong. The Lakers locker room is simply a mess right now and is causing a lot of internal problems. As for the Heat, they know this is must win. Miami continues a 4 team battle for the 3rd spot in the East and has strung together back to back wins taking a step in the right direction. Miami has dominated the head to head in this series, winning 7 straight overall and has a 13 point win under their belt in the last meeting. Some trends to consider. Heat are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Heat are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. With all the drama and distractions, combined with the motivation level on the Heat, this game is a no brainer and should be no problem for the Heat. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-30-16 | Senators +109 v. Jets | 2-1 | Win | 109 | 13 h 16 m | Show | |
Ottawa Senators +109 The Senators head into Winnipeg to take on the Jets Wednesday night and it's the visitors who have solid value here. First off, this game means nothing for both teams. They have both been eliminated from playoff contention and will be playing for mere respect here on Wednesday. Neither team comes in with any momentum, but we at least get a very deflated Jets team here that has dropped two in a row. They were in a playoff environment on Monday night as they went into Philadelphia, but ultimately fell in overtime. Winnipeg has also no confidence when it comes to the man advantage. Over the past 8 games they have gone 0 for 19 on the power play. This is extremely crucial as they have no momentum and it's become almost a mental game for them when they go on the PP. Here's the deal breaker in this one. The Sens have gone 5-0-1 in their last 6 vs. the Jets and have won the last 5 meetings in Winnipeg. They have dominated this series and took care of business last time 3-2. Some trends to consider. Senators are 8-3 in their last 11 vs. a team with a losing record. Jets are 1-7 in their last 8 vs. Atlantic. With nothing on the line and the with the way Ottawa has dominated this series, look for them to have the advantage here and have the most value at plus money. Back Ottawa. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-29-16 | George Washington +3 v. San Diego State | 65-46 | Win | 100 | 15 h 41 m | Show | |
George Washington +3 The George Washington Colonials have been an under rated team in the post season. George Washington has all the necessary pieces to have post season success. The Colonials take care of the basketball and have multiple scoring options on the floor at all times. San Diego State had to travel all the way across the country for this game. The Aztecs have been very good defensively this year, but their offense is extremely inconsistent. In a game that is expected to be extremely low scoring, I would not want to lay points with a poor shooting offense at Madison Square Garden in New York City. This projects as a game that is back and forth all the way. While many more fans know about the San Diego State program, George Washington has a good team and with the ability to grab a full possession on the underdog I will take this value. Some trends to consider. Aztecs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games, and are 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games following a ATS win. Meanwhile the Colonials are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 non-conference games. Take George Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS play |

03-29-16 | Rockets v. Cavs -1.5 | 106-100 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers -1.5 The Cavaliers welcome in the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night and even with Lebron James sitting out, this team holds solid value here. Cleveland isn't clear just yet in the East, as they hold a 2.5 game lead on the Raptors currently. With just over a week to play in the season, they can really deliver the dagger with a few wins in a row here. The Cavs have had great success against the West. They have covered in 9 of their 13 against them and they do have a win in Houston under their belts where they dominated defensively, holding them to just 77 points. Don't overlook the fact of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love too here. When Cleveland gave Lebron James rest against the Mavs not too long ago, Irving put up 33 points and carried the team to a win. Irving got the benefit of sitting out the last game against the Knicks, giving him much more time between games to get fresh. Some trends to consider. Rockets are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Cleveland. Home team is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings. Expect the Irving and Love to really come out firing here, as they roll over the Rockets at home and take one step closer to grabbing the #1 seed in the East. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-29-16 | BYU v. Valparaiso OVER 146.5 | 70-72 | Loss | -103 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
BYU vs. Valparaiso Over 146.5 The NIT has reached the semi finals and two of the top seeds in the tourney get set for battle inside MSG. With the big stage, expect both teams to really bring their A game here, making this Over a very nice play. Both of these teams can really score. BYU has averaged 83.6 points per game while the Crusaders have averaged 75.2. Both teams really like to hoist the 3 ball and will get out in transition, rarely using the full shot clock. Defensively, the Cougars are horrible, which is another main reason for this Over being so nice. The Cougars concede 73.3 points per game, but lately the defense just hasn't been there. Lately, both teams have been having little trouble reaching the total. Both the Cougars and Crusaders are 3-1 in their last 4 to the Over and this is one of those games where both teams will use the pace to their advantage. Some trends to consider. Over is 10-1 in Cougars last 11 neutral site games. Over is 6-2 in Crusaders last 8 overall. With this one being inside Madison Square Garden, it helps the over that much more as both teams will certainly be on their games offensively, trying to impress the national stage. Combine that with how good both of these teams are to the Over and this total holds tremendous value. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB O/U Play |

03-28-16 | Kings v. Sharks UNDER 5 | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
Los Angeles vs. San Jose Under The Sharks and Kings get set for a west coast battle and the total of 5 with the under showing plus money is a solid move here. Both of these teams are defensive minded teams, there is no doubt about that. The Sharks concede just 2.5 goals per game, while the Kings are at an astounding 2.31 per game. Los Angeles boasts one of the best goalies in the league, as Jonathan Quick has continued to turn aside shot after shot this season. Quick has just a 2.21 GAA on the year with a save percentage of .918. For San Jose, G Martin Jones is right there with Quick. Jones boasts a GAA of just 2.25 this season, with the same save percentage at .918. These two goalies rarely find themselves allowing many goals in a game as they also bring a lot of experience to the table. Some trends to consider. Under is 5-2 in Sharks last 7 vs. Western Conference. Under is 7-3-1 in Sharks last 11 overall. Goals will certainly be at a premium here. Both teams are two of the best defensively and with the way both Quick and Jones have played, neither team will find it easy finding the back of the net. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NHL O/U Play |

03-28-16 | Towson v. Oakland -5 | 72-90 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
Oakland -5 The Oakland Grizzlies have a veteran backcourt that should be geared up for a postseason run. Oakland plays Towson tonight in their first game of the "Vegas 16" (there are only 8 teams in the tournament). Towson had a nice season in the CAA this year, but they are stepping up in class here. Oakland is a team that performed extremely well on road and neutral floors in non-conference play, and that's a good indicator when looking at a game like this one. Motivation is everything in these small postseason tournaments, and Oakland is a very motivated team. Reading from the beat writers for Oakland, you'll find that this team badly wants to keep playing. The Grizzlies tested themselves far more early in the season than did Towson, and that should pay dividends in this game. Great players have a way of taking over games in the postseason and Kay Felder is the best player in this tournament. A couple great trends for this one. Oakland is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. Oakland is 36-15-3 ATS in their last 54 games overall. Take Oakland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-28-16 | Thunder v. Raptors +3 | 119-100 | Loss | -108 | 19 h 6 m | Show | |
Toronto Raptors +3 The Raptors, who currently sit in 2nd in the East, welcome in Western Conference foe Oklahoma City and catch points as the home team. With the way Toronto has played in Canada this year, they hold a lot of value here. The Raptors have played solid basketball at home going 28-8 SU. They've averaged 104.7 points per game compared to the 98.1 they've conceded. This team has really turned it up a couple notches in front of their home fans and have many key wins on the year here. Toronto comes into this one with some confidence as they took it to the lowly Pelicans, as they shot 53.4% from the field in the win. These two teams met all the way back in November, but it was the Raptors who got the better end of the matchup. The Raptors match up very well with the Thunder, who are also just 13-21 ATS away from home on the year. Some trends to consider. Thunder are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Raptors are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. With Toronto picking up some momentum in their win over New Orleans, combined with the home court advantage here, expect the Raptors to really play motivated basketball and even come out as an outright winner here. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Miami Heat -10 The Heat welcome in the lowly Nets into Miami on Monday night and it's the home team who has solid value here. Miami continues to battle for the 3rd spot in the East and is in the midst of a solid stretch against sub .500 teams. Miami took care of business against the Magic on Friday as they have now won in 3 of their last 4 contests. The Heat have leaned heavily behind Hassan Whiteside lately, who is playing at a very high level right now. Whiteside has 4 straight double-doubles and has hit the double-double mark in 10 of their last 11. He'll get Brook Lopez here on the defensive end, which is extremely unfortunate for the Nets as their best offensive force will be going against a top tier defender. The home/away discrepancy is worth noting too. The Nets are just 7-27 SU away from the Barclays Center while the Heat have gone 24-13 on the year. Miami really picks things up on the defensive end when playing at home, as they allow just 98 points per game. Some trends to consider. Heat are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Monday games. With the race on the East and the Heat playing well against the bottom tier teams, this is certainly a spot to lay the points. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Cal-Irvine -3 The Anteaters get set to take on Coastal Carolina in the CIT semi finals and it's Irvine who has the value here laying the small number. Irvine has been impressive all season on both ends of the floor, but it's their defense that has really been the major key. This year, Irvine concedes just 66.7 points per game. They held ULL to just 66 points in the quarterfinals win that saw them hold Louisiana Lafayette to just 33% shooting. The Anteaters defense is not just swarming on perimeter shooters, but they also have the length and physical ability to really shut the paint down. Alex Young will be the difference maker offensively, as he has stepped it up and flourished in the CIT. Young turned in performances of 19 points and 21 points in the last two games and in his 21 point performance, Young added 8 rebounds. He's hit some clutch shots, especially down the stretch to really be a leader on this Irvine team. On the Coastal side of things, this team really hasn't done too much impressively this year. They shoot at just a 43.9% rate and from behind the arc things get ugly at just 33.9%. They have the ability to really go on cold streaks and those should be expected here against a solid defensive team in Irvine. Some trends to consider. Anteaters are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 Sunday games. Anteaters are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games. Expect Irvine to really shut this Coastal team down, en route to covering the small number and moving on. Back Cal-Irvine. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-27-16 | Notre Dame v. North Carolina UNDER 155 | 74-88 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 9 m | Show | |
Notre Dame vs. North Carolina Under 155 The Fighting Irish and Tar Heels get set for battle in the Elite 8 and it's the Under that has solid value. These teams met in the ACC tourney and the game was rather lower scoring, thanks to Notre Dame putting up just 47 points. While North Carolina is putting up a lot of points in this NCAA tourney, this is the kind of game where Notre Dame will look to take the air out of the ball. They certainly can't compete with UNC in a track meet style of game, as they'll get run out of the gym. Both of these teams have played solid defense on the neutral courts this year as well. The Fighting Irish concede just 70 points per game, while the Tar Heels sit at 67.6 per game. With nerves playing a role here in this Elite 8 game on the big stage too, both teams will certainly be shaky and nervous here. Some trends to consider. Under is 7-3 in Fighting Irish last 10 neutral site games. Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. Look for a very slow paced game here with both defenses not only stepping up, but a lot of clock being used, especially by the Fighting Irish. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-26-16 | Villanova v. Kansas -2.5 | 64-59 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 51 m | Show | |
Kansas -2.5 The Kansas Jayhawks look like the best team in the country right now. Kansas withstood a really strong first half effort from Maryland on Thursday night, and then they blew out the Terrapins in the second half. Kansas is arguably the most balanced team in the country. Perry Ellis leads a very good frontcourt. The backcourt is extremely deep and any one of the Jayhawks backcourt players can take over the game at any time. While Villanova has shot the ball extremely well in the NCAA Tournament thus far, this is by far their biggest test. Kansas ranks in the top five in the nation on defense, and the Jayhawks aren't going to make it easy on the Wildcats. Villanova's shooting percentages have been astronomical in the last couple games, and it's hard to have that kind of performance three games in a row. Kansas is slightly better in all aspects of the game, and I give them the coaching edge with Bill Self. A couple betting trends to consider. Kansas is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 non-conference games. Kansas is 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games overall. Take Kansas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-26-16 | Jazz v. Wolves +7.5 | 93-84 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
Minnesota Timberwolves +7.5 The Timberwolves welcome in the Jazz on Saturday night and the home team with the points is a valuable play. Minnesota has one of the best young cores in the NBA and over the past two games they've proven that with wins. All 5 starters are 26 or under and they have absolutely flourished in the past two games. It was Karl Anthony Towns who led the way with 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists last time out as he continues to really develop. Along side Andrew Wiggins, the duo is consistently starting to produce and really make it a nightmare for defenses to guard. Zach LaVine is another one of those starters that has been dominating. LaVine is 20 for 36 from 3 point range over the past 5 games as he continues to tear it. They'll be going up against a Utah team that really hasn't produced enough offensively. It's been a problem all year long and while the Timberwolves defense isn't the greatest, they always have the ability to put up points. Some trends to consider. Timberwolves are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win. Timberwolves are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Expect Minnesota to be in this one until the end. They have played extremely well lately and with their offense clicking, they certainly have the ability to even win this one. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-26-16 | Oklahoma v. Oregon +1 | 80-68 | Loss | -112 | 27 h 21 m | Show | |
Oregon Ducks +1 The #1 seed in the West meets with the #2 seed as the Oregon Ducks and Oklahoma Sooners get set for an Elite 8 battle. The #1 seed catches a point here, making this team very valuable. Oregon has looked exceptionally well in this tournament. This team really has used the run and gun style to really pick apart opponents. It was very productive against the Blue Devils in the Sweet 16 as they got plenty of wide open dunks and even turned them into And 1's. Just because this Ducks team runs and guns, doesn't mean they aren't focused on the defensive end. In fact, this team was a top tier team in the Pac-12 on the defensive end. The Ducks have given up an average of just 66.9 points on the neutral site games. They key here will be stopping Buddy Hield. Yes, the Sooners do have more weapons, but this Oklahoma team will only go as far as he takes them when it's all said and done. With that, the Ducks have the length and physicality to really slow Hield down. This isn't the most ideal matchup for the star Oklahoma product, which will really play to the advantage of the Ducks. Some trends to consider. Ducks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win. Ducks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games. This Oregon team is far better than pinned. They aren't a number 1 seed by accident. Look for them to really use their pace and high pressured defense to cause a lot of problems for Oklahoma here. Back Oregon. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

03-26-16 | Stars v. Sharks OVER 5.5 | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 26 h 7 m | Show | |
Dallas vs. San Jose Over The Sharks and Stars get set for battle and this is one that is surely expected to see a lot of chances on net here. The Stars and Sharks have been two of the best scoring teams in the NHL. Looking at the visitors from Dallas first, they are averaging 3.21 goals on the season. On the road, this team has put in 3.18 and are even conceding as they give up exactly 3.00 per game. The fast paced offense really leads to the opposition getting chances on the counter. The Sharks are quite similar. They put 2.89 goals per game and that number stays relatively close at home as they put in 2.81. At home they also concede 2.7 goals per game, which doesn't bode well going up against a team that really can score. Both teams have been over bets this year as well. Dallas has gone 42-32 (22-15 A) to the over and the Sharks have gone 38-30 (20-12 H) to the over. These teams last met on 1/16 and it went exactly as expected, with both teams finding the back of the net in a 4-3 Sharks win. Some trends to consider. Over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings. Over is 6-1-2 in Sharks last 9 Saturday games. Look for a lot of action in this one. Pace and shots are the theme here, as the total flies over. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NHL O/U Play |

03-25-16 | Gonzaga -4 v. Syracuse | 60-63 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 49 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -4 The Gonzaga Bulldogs underachieved during the regular season. They are peaking at the right time now though! Gonzaga stomped Seton Hall and then beat down Utah in their first two games in the NCAA Tournament. While there were a lot of questions about this team during the season, it is a sign of a well-coached team when they are playing their best basketball of the year in late March. Syracuse shouldn't have been in the NCAA Tournament, but now they got into the Sweet 16. How did they do it? A very easy draw. Dayton was badly banged up late in the year and not playing well at all. Then Syracuse got a gift when MTSU upset Michigan State. MTSU had nothing left after that epic upset and Syracuse waltzed into the Sweet 16. Domantas Sabonis and Kyle Wiltjer are a great pair to have to beat this Syracuse zone. Sabonis should do some great work on the glass here, and Wiltjer is one of the best outside shooters in college basketball. Gonzaga's defensive numbers are almost identical to Syracuse's numbers, but the Zags have the much better offense. A couple betting trends for this one. Gonzaga is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games. Gonzaga is also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games. Take Gonzaga. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-25-16 | Islanders v. Lightning OVER 5 | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
New York vs. Tampa Bay Over The Islanders head into Tampa Bay on Friday night and the over has solid value with here. Both of these teams really like to play with pace and can find the back of the net. The Lightning have been a solid offensive threat at home this year. They have averaged 2.9 goals per game, thanks in large part to Vladislav Namestnikov, who was one of the main keys in the Lightning win over Detroit on Tuesday. Over their last 5 games, this team is average 3.2 goals per game. New York went through a very brief rough patch, but eventually got over that with a 3 goal performance against Ottawa. The Islanders have so many weapons, one of which includes captain Jonathan Taveras. The captain pushed his goal total to 27 on the season as he found the back of the net against Ottawa in the win. Some trends to consider. Over is 8-3-1 in Lightning last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Over is 9-3 in Lightning last 12 vs. Metropolitan. Both of these teams really like to use fast pace and have the ability to find the net at any moment. Expect this one to feature a lot of shots on net with the total of 5 going over here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NHL O/U Play |

03-25-16 | Iowa State v. Virginia -5 | 71-84 | Win | 100 | 42 h 25 m | Show | |
Virginia Cavaliers -5 The 1 seed gets set to take on Iowa State on Friday in the Sweet 16 and the Cavaliers hold tremendous value here. Virginia remained poised and calm during their come from behind win against Butler in the Round of 32. Virginia trailed at the break and with the game going back and forth all throughout the 2nd half, the Cavaliers used their suffocating defense to pull away. Virginia has been absolutely dominant on the defensive end, actually one of the best in the NCAA as they allow just 59.5 points per game. The Cavaliers have one of the best G/F tandems as well with Malcolm Brogdon and Anthony Gill. Brogdon has averaged 18.6 points per game to go along with 4 rebounds and 2.9 assists. He was the main reasoning behind the 2nd half surge against Butler as he put in 22 points and added 5 assists and 5 rebounds. Gill on the other hand averages 13.6 points per game to go along with 6.2 rebounds. Gill has turned in a pair of 19 point performances and added a combined 15 rebounds. Some trends to consider. Cavaliers are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Cavaliers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Look for the Cavaliers to really step it up defensively here as they hold the Cyclones down and cover the number here. Back Virginia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-24-16 | Duke v. Oregon -3 | 68-82 | Win | 100 | 22 h 36 m | Show | |
Oregon Ducks -3 The Ducks and Blue Devils meet in the Sweet 16 and the #1 seed in the West has a lot of value laying the low number here. This has been Oregon's season. The Ducks have matched a school record in wins and this is certainly the year for the Ducks to make a move. Oregon showed how poised they are as they trailed #8 seed St. Joes by 7 with just 5 minutes to go before hitting a pair of clutch threes down the stretch to come from behind. The win showed just how good Oregon has been this season as they have the most threatening inside out game that offers a lot of speed that the opposition simply cannot keep up with. Oregon's offensive efficiency comes from the production from many players like Casey Benson, Dillon Brooks, and Elgin Cook. The key for Oregon will be to grab the early lead. This season they have gone 25-0 when leading at the half. Some trends to consider. Ducks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 NCAA Tournament games. Ducks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win. Oregon has a major advantage here with their offensive run and gun play and with the way they can shoot the ball and score in bunches, this one belongs to them. Back Oregon. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-24-16 | Texas A&M v. Oklahoma -2.5 | 63-77 | Win | 100 | 19 h 47 m | Show | |
Oklahoma -2.5 The Oklahoma Sooners have one of the best players in the country in Buddy Hield. Alex Caruso will likely try to guard him for Texas A&M here. Caruso has been needed on the offensive end lately, and putting in so much of an effort on the defensive end could hurt his offense here. Texas A&M is very fortunate to be where they are today. Northern Iowa couldn't throw an inbounds pass to save their lives late and that ended up beating them. Texas A&M isn't a bad team, but the schedule they played against in the SEC doesn't impress me very much. Oklahoma went through a brutal schedule in the Big 12. While the Sooners didn't finish the season with momentum, playing against the best teams in the country does a good job of getting you ready for the tournament. The Sooners have a lot of experienced players, and I think this is a spot where that helps them a lot. A good stat for this one: Oklahoma is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. the SEC. Lay the short number. Take Oklahoma. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-24-16 | Miami (Fla) +4 v. Villanova | 69-92 | Loss | -103 | 18 h 17 m | Show | |
Miami +4 The Miami Hurricanes were really impressive in knocking off Wichita State last game. The key for Miami was the play of Angel Rodriguez. Rodriguez is a streaky player, and with him coming into this game with momentum, it's a good sign for the Hurricanes. Villanova finally broke into the Sweet 16, and the Wildcats were pretty pumped about it after the game. The Wildcats played what Jay Wright called their best half of the season in the first half of their game against Iowa. While this is the NCAA Tournament, I do believe there is a slight letdown factor when you consider how badly Villanova wanted to reach the Sweet 16. Miami did less celebrating after their most recent win. I really like Jim Larranaga as the head coach for Miami, and I believe he gives the Hurricanes an edge over Jay Wright at Villanova. Miami plays at a slow tempo and that usually makes for some very close games. There's nothing to suggest that Villanova should be trusting laying this many points to a very good team. A couple trends of note. Miami is 13-4 ATS in their last 17 non-conference games. Also, Villanova is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. the ACC. Take Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play |

03-24-16 | Hurricanes v. Blue Jackets -135 | 3-2 | Loss | -135 | 18 h 55 m | Show | |
Columbus Blue Jackets -135 The Blue Jackets welcome in the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night and it's the home team with plenty of value. Carolina had their chances at a playoff spot, but a 5 game losing streak has really put an end to that. The Canes have fallen 7 points back of a playoff spot and their latest loss was a crushing blow to the their morale. Carolina allowed the game tying and game winning goals in the final four minutes to seal their fate. As for Columbus, they have played much better inside Nationwide Arena. The Jackets have gone 17-15-4-2 at home and that stems from their 2.80 goals per game. On the other side of things, the Hurricanes have gone just 14-15-6-2 away from home and are scoring just 2.24 goals per game. They looked like a completely difference and much less confident team. Canes G Cam Ward hasn't been anything special either against the Blue Jackets. He's gone just 4-4-1 with a 2.79 goals against average. Some trends to consider.  Blue Jackets are 6-0 in their last 6 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. Blue Jackets are 8-2 in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. The Hurricanes bottom has fallen out with this losing streak. Combine that with how well Columbus plays at home and the home team has solid value here. Back Columbus. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-24-16 | Pelicans v. Pacers -13 | 84-92 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
Indiana Pacers -13 The Pacers get set to take on the Pelicans on Thursday night and it's the home team with tremendous value here. Indiana is in the midst of a giant playoff race in the East, as they sit in the middle of the pack right now. Every loss hurts them as the bottom of the East is so cluttered, but they are just a few wins away from joining the top tier in the East and racing for that 3rd spot. The key here is that New Orleans is extremely weak. The Pelicans already sat Anthony Davis down for the year and he was a majority of their offense. Now Ryan Anderson, Norris Cole, Tyreke Evans, and Eric Gordon all are injured. This Pelicans team is very thin and doesn't have much to offer off the bench. Indiana also recognizes this is their chance to make a move. The Pacers will play 9 of their final 13 games against sub .500 teams, giving them a real chance to make a push up the Eastern Conference standings. Some trends to consider. Pacers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Pacers are 14-2 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 2 days rest. Look for the Pacers to really come out firing here, as the Pelicans just don't have enough to keep this one close. Back Indiana. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

New York Rangers -135 The Rangers welcome in the Bruins on Wednesday night and the home team holds solid value here. New York comes in off a win over Florida and a return to MSG is the perfect scenario for this team. The Rangers have gone 24-8-3-0 this year inside MSG with the opposition scoring just 2.40 goals compared to the 3.23 they average. Boston comes into this one limping a lot, as they finished their California road swing getting outscored 9-3 as their defense once again has disappeared. The question of Tuukka Rask is also in question. Rask has been battling an illness and while he did travel with the team he is still questionable. Should he even play here, Rask won't be at 100% which gives the Rangers a huge advantage. Rangers G Henrik Lundqvist has also dominated the Bruins. The Rangers G has gone 22-12-2 against Boston with a GAA of just 1.95 and 6 shutouts to his credit. Some trends to consider. Rangers are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. Atlantic. Rangers are 15-5 in their last 20 games playing on 1 days rest. New York is playing very well, especially at home and that combined with Lundqvist having a solid history against Boston, the Rangers have solid value here on Wednesday. Back New York.

Ohio Bobcats -3.5 The Bobcats welcome in Morehead State for some CBI action on Wednesday and the home team in OU has a lot of value to work with here. Home court advantage plays a big role here. The Bobcats have gone 16-2 SU this season in Ohio and have been a solid ATS team going 10-4 inside the Convocation Center. As for Morehead State, the Eagles have been a mediocre road team, going just 7-9 SU. Offense has been a major problem for them as they average under 70 points per road game. Ohio has been a very solid team this year as they finished 23-11 and 18-12 ATS as they average nearly 79 points per game. Antonio Campbell will be the difference maker here. The Ohio F has played exceptionally well through the first two rounds of this tournament, going for 11 and 8 in the opening game, and then following that up with 17 points, 19 rebound performance. Some trends to consider. Bobcats are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Bobcats are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games. Look for OU to use that home court advantage and behind Antonio Campbell, move on here by covering the number. Back Ohio. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play |

03-23-16 | Ball State +7.5 v. Columbia | 67-69 | Win | 100 | 16 h 57 m | Show | |
Ball State +7.5 The Ball State Cardinals have played two overtime games in their two postseason games. They have a double overtime road win over Tennessee State and then an overtime come from behind win over Tennessee Martin. For some teams back to back overtime games could be a problem, but Ball State has a deep bench, and a bunch of guys will get playing time here. Ball State is a member of the MAC. While the MAC isn't a great conference, it is usually underrated by many. Columbia thumped Norfolk State in their first postseason game, but I don't think that has any predictive value toward this game. Norfolk State plays in the MEAC, which is one of the weakest conferences in college basketball. Columbia should get a much tougher test here against a Ball State team that is very good on the defensive end of the court. A good stat backing this one: Ball State is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Take Ball State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

BYU Cougars -4.5 The Cougars get set to take on Creighton in the NIT quarterfinals, and the home team laying the points has the value. First off, Creighton is extremely thin right now in terms of their players. They'll be missing guard Isaiah Zierden, who was putting up 10.2 points per game on the season, along with G Malik Albert, who underwent an MRI and isn't expect to play here. For BYU senior Kyle Collinsworth has really rallied this team. Not only has he dominated the first two games of the NIT tournament, but he is also pumping his teammates up. Collinsworth told his teammates, "either put your head down and quit, or create a new opportunity." The Cougars have certainly created a new opportunity, dominating right now. Home court has also been a huge advantage this season. The Cougars have gone 16-2 on the year and are averaging 85 points to just the 70 they allow. Some trends to consider. Cougars are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a ATS loss. Cougars are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games. BYU is in a rhythm right now where they simply cannot be stopped. Look for them to really come out firing here and take care of business at home. Back BYU. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Miami Heat -8.5 The Heat head into New Orleans on Tuesday night and hold plenty of value against a team they certainly outclass here. The season is over for New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis. After battling so many injuries this season, Davis and the Pelicans have decided to call it quits on this season, letting the F get some extra rest. While the extra rest will do him well, the Pelicans are a completely different team without him. On the Miami side of things, the Heat are in the midst of a four way battle for that 3rd spot. It's a huge ordeal grabbing that 3 seed for home court purposes, along with not having to deal with Cleveland until the conference finals. Miami is getting contributions everywhere, but specifically from Josh Richardson. The guard is averaging 16.8 points per game, to go along with 16 of 23 from behind the arc over the past 5 games. Look for him to be a key here. Some trends to consider. Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Heat are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games. With Ryan Anderson and Norris Cole both in question here, who knows who the Pelicans will have to suit up. This is a major advantage for Miami here and they will handle business on Tuesday.

03-21-16 | Eastern Washington v. Nevada -5 | 70-85 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Nevada -5 The Eastern Washington Eagles were a great home team this year, but they haven't proven much on the road. Eastern Washington takes a bunch of long range jumpers, and those are often tougher to hit when not playing on a floor that you are familiar with. Nevada's Marqueze Coleman is expected to play in this one after missing time with an injury of late. The Wolf Pack are a deeper and more physical team than Eastern Washington. Eastern Washington has one good big man (Jois) and he is injured and is a game time decision for this contest. Some betting trends to consider. Nevada is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. Eastern Washington is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. the Mountain West. Eastern Washington is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning record. Nevada plays great defense and this time of the year it is usually defense that carries you rather than jump shooting. Even though the Mountain West wasn't great this year, Nevada still played a much more difficult schedule than their foes from Eastern Washington did while in the Big Sky Conference. Take Nevada.

South Carolina Gamecocks -4 The Gamecocks were snubbed of an NCAA Tournament spot, but that didn't stop them from having the motivation in the NIT opening round. South Carolina looked like a team with a purpose against as they routed High Point by 22 points in the first round. Here they lay a small number at home, making them a valuable bet. South Carolina meant all business in the opening round as they not only looked like they wanted to send a message, but they also took out some frustrations for not making the tournament. South Carolina also feels pretty comfortable playing in the NIT as they have gone 22-9 all time in their NIT career, with 2 titles and 1 runner up under their belt. The Gamecocks key to success has been the contributions of many players pitching in. They got 50 points combined from two players against High Point and then their backcourt also contributed 14 assists. This team is clicking on all cylinders right now and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. Some trends to consider. Gamecocks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Monday games. Gamecocks are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 non-conference games. Look for South Carolina to get another whole team contribution as they use that combined with their home court advantage to cruise to a win, covering the number. Back South Carolina. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

New York Islanders -135 The Islanders look to get back on track as they've fallen in 3 straight games, something they haven't done all season long. With their small kid, the juice on them at home is a very low price, making them extremely valuable here. The Islanders have fallen into the 1st Wild Card spot after their skid and this team is certainly better than they're performing right now. New York returns to Brooklyn and welcomes the sight of the Barclay's Center, where they have gone 6-0-1 in their last 7 games. They also get the relief of playing 8 of their final 12 at home, which has to be a nice feeling. New York has gone 21-8-3-1 inside the Barclays Center this year. Look for Jonathan Taveras to be the difference here, as he has dominated the Flyers in his career. Taveras has 27 points (14 goals and 13 assists) in 33 career meetings. Some trends to consider. Islanders are 6-1 in their last 7 home games. Islanders are 5-1 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Islanders are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. Look for New York really pick their game up here as they put an end to their losing ways with a home win over Philadelphia on Monday. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 10* NHL TOP PLAY |

03-20-16 | St. Joe's v. Oregon -6.5 | 64-69 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 0 m | Show | |
Oregon Ducks -6.5 The Ducks get a Round of 32 date with St. Joe's and it's the 1 seed who has the value here. While St. Joe's has been impressive this year, the Ducks have been far more tested and have passed those tests many times. It started with an absolute route of the Utah Utes in the Pac-12 title game and they followed that up with a Round of 64 route against Holy Cross. Oregon also got the benefit of their players getting some rest. The Ducks saw nobody play more than 26 minutes, as their starters weren't needed for much of the 2nd half. That is a giant plus for them as with games being so close in time, getting that extra rest is extremely valuable. Look for Oregon to really use their tempo here to dominate Joe's. In their last two wins thats been their key to success as neither Utah nor Holy Cross could keep up with them. Some trends to consider. Ducks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Ducks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games. Oregon is far more talented and stronger than this St. Joe's team. Look for them to use every bit of their speed and height advantage as they run the Hawks right out of the gym. Back Oregon. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* CBB ATS Play |

03-20-16 | Avalanche +117 v. Oilers | 3-2 | Win | 117 | 27 h 38 m | Show | |
Colorado Avalanche ML The Avalanche head into Edmonton on Sunday night and they open as plus money underdogs, giving them solid value here. Colorado comes in with a 37-31-4-0 record as they've played extremely well this season. The Avs have won back to back games and the road hasn't been any problem for them lately. Colorado has won games in Calgary and Vancouver, pushing their road record to 20-16 on the season. The key has been goalie Semyon Varlamov. After struggling at the beginning of the season, the net minder has really locked down and now has a record of 26-18-3 this year. He's recorded 30 or more saves in 4 of the last 5. Colorado has also been the better of the two in the head to head series. Colorado has won 5 of the last 7 against Edmonton. Some trends to consider. Avalanche are 5-0 in their last 5 vs. Pacific. Avalanche are 4-1 in their last 5 overall. With their success against the Pacific, combined with the success they've had in this series, the Avs are very valuable here. Back Colorado. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NHL ML Play |

03-20-16 | Jazz v. Bucks -1 | 94-85 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Bucks -1 The Bucks welcome in the Jazz on Sunday night and the home team holds value here. Both teams continue to push for a playoff spot and considering the Bucks positioning right now, they certainly need to win every time they take the floor. The good news for them is that they get this one at home. This season, the Bucks have gone 21-13 SU. They've played some of their best basketball at home, which makes this even more of a nice play. Also on the other side of things, the Jazz have been horrible away from Utah. They have gone just 11-23 SU while averaging just 97 points per road game. Things have really taken off for Milwaukee since they gave Giannis Antetokounmpo the PG nod. Milwaukee has been a completely different team as Antetokounmpo not only scores, but also can dish it and rebound. Some trends to consider. Bucks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. It's Milwaukee here who not only needs this win, but is also in a better spot situationally. With home/away discrepancy, the Bucks are in business tonight. Back Milwaukee. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-19-16 | Gonzaga v. Utah +1 | 82-59 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Utah +1 Utah and Gonzaga meet in the Round of 32 and the Utes have a lot of value here. The Utes come into this one not only hot, but they've played much better this season. Utah has one of the best big men in the nation in Jacob Poeltl and he proved that in the win over Fresno State. Poeltl went for 16 points and 18 rebounds in the win as the Pac-12 Player of the Year was unstoppable. Utah also has a solid back court with Brandon Taylor and Lorenzo Bonam, who both dominated in the Fresno State matchup. As far as Gonzaga is concerned, this was a bubble team that would have missed out on the tourney had they not won their conference. The Bulldogs had zero quality wins this year and when put up against top teams in the nation they flopped. Some trends to consider. Utes are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Utes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Expect Utah to really impose their will in the paint as they match up very well Gonzaga. Back Utah. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

03-19-16 | Connecticut v. Kansas UNDER 140 | 61-73 | Win | 100 | 28 h 23 m | Show | |
UConn vs. Kansas Under 140 The Kansas Jayhawks are known for their high powered offense, but their defense has been tremendous this year. Kansas ranks 8th in the nation in offensive efficiency, but they are fifth in defensive efficiency. Kansas has a lot of length all over the floor and the Jayhawks contest everything. The only reason this year's UConn team is good is their defense. UConn struggles with getting stagnant on the offensive end way too often, but their defense is consistently very good. Kansas hasn't played against many teams that have shot blockers and athletic guards like UConn's. UConn is almost certainly going to try to slow the pace of this game down. The Huskies aren't built to win a high scoring affair with Kansas. UConn has been a great tournament team in the past few years, and I think they should be able to impose their style of play onto Kansas in this matchup. A couple betting trends here. The under is 24-7 in the Jayhawks last 31 NCAA Tournament games. The under is also 19-7-1 in the Jayhawks last 27 following an ATS win. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-18-16 | Northern Iowa v. Texas -4 | 75-72 | Loss | -111 | 44 h 29 m | Show | |
Texas Longhorns -4 The Longhorns get set to take on the Northern Iowa Panthers in the Round of 64 and the Longhorns hold tremendous value here. Texas was in one of the toughest conferences in the Big 12 and was right in the middle of everything. They competed with every team thrown their way and never got blown out, despite playing the top tier teams. Texas also played the entire season without senior center Cameron Ridley and since his return to the lineup. Ridley offers more depth to this and also a dominant inside presence. He helps the cause out defensively as Texas is 2nd in the Big 12 in blocked shots and 4th in defense as they allow just 68.1 points per game. Also giving them a solid advantage is their head coach, Shaka Smart. Smart continued to take a mid major team in VCU to the tournament year after and year and continued to cause havoc. Smart finished with 7 wins. Some trends to consider. Longhorns are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Longhorns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. The Longhorns certainly have the advantage here as they are much better all around team. Look for them to really put the clamps down defensively on they Northern Iowa team. Back Texas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-18-16 | Weber State v. Xavier -13 | 53-71 | Win | 100 | 41 h 59 m | Show | |
Xavier -13 The Xavier Musketeers are flying under the radar. They lost a couple times to Seton Hall in the last two weeks, but Xavier has proven over the course of the season that they are one of the best teams in the country. One of my favorite things about this Xavier team is their overall balance. There really is no weakness on this team. Xavier is very good at just about everything. Most teams in the NCAA Tournament have some spots that are clear weaknesses. The Musketeers have great guard play and solid big men as well. They are efficient on both offense and defense. Weber State hasn't played anyone this year. Weber State didn't play a top 50 team all year. While Weber State has a future NBA player in Joel Bolomboy, they don't have the depth necessary to beat a team like Xavier. A couple betting trends to consider. Xavier is a whopping 20-5-2 ATS in their last 27 NCAA Tournament games. Xavier is 19-9 ATS in their last 28 games vs. a team with a winning record. Xavier's 1-3-1 zone defense can really throw off opposing offenses. Xavier isn't getting enough respect here. Lay the points. Take Xavier. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |
