06-22-16 | Nationals v. Dodgers -130 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 0 m | Show |
908 Washington at Los Angeles Significant pitching and defensive edges for the Dodgers here as Urias has gotten better each time out. The LA bullpen also is in a positive situation after going more than an inning without allowing an earned run. Washington hasn’t been able to take advantage of pitchers with an ERA of 4 or more, posting a 110-162 record with a negative ROI of 17.2% as per SportsDataBase.com.PLAY LOS ANGELES DODGERS |

06-21-16 | Phillies +127 v. Twins | 10-14 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
977 Philadelphia at MinnesotaSimply can’t trust Duffey and the Twins here in the favorite role. We are well aware of the Phillies lack of offense but Nola is a superior pitcher, and he’s in the underdog role. Philly has the relief and the defensive edges to stymie this questionable Twins offense.PLAY PHILADELPHIA |

06-21-16 | Rays +162 v. Indians | 0-6 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
963 Tampa Bay at ClevelandKluber is often overpriced despite no fault of his own. The Indians just don’t hit when he takes the mound. It’s been a long term problem that has cost him many wins over the years.Cleveland must face highly regarded Blake Snell tonight, a pitcher with a bright upside. The Rays own the lefty/righty hitting advantage and the defense and relief advantages are minimal. Good price on Tampa Bay Tuesday night.PLAY TAMPA BAY |
|||||||
06-19-16 | Cavs v. Warriors -4.5 | Top | 93-89 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 50 m | Show |
514 Cleveland at Golden StateYou have to give a ton of credit to the Cavaliers by winning the last two games to draw even in the series. But home teams simply dominate in game 7’s. With the Warriors having a terrific record playing at home, and after two straight losses the host will have a big emotional edge here. Throw in the fact that the Warriors felt the last two games were unfairly called by the refs, and we have a very motivated team tonight.Bogut being out hurts the Golden State defense but the offense will be helped by going small. I’d love to see my hometown Cavaliers win a championship, but I refuse to bet with my heart. The Warriors deserve this championship and they get it tonight by double figures.PLAY GOLDEN STATE |
|||||||
06-17-16 | Rockies v. Marlins -104 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 22 m | Show | |
956 Colorado at MiamiThe Rockies have long been a team that you want to play against on the road. The altitude adjustment is such that this team has a strong home advantage but has been a consistent money burner on the road.Here we find a team that doesn’t hit lefties all that well and is subpar offensively away fro home. Nice price on a quality starter at home for the Marlins.PLAY MIAMI |
|||||||
06-16-16 | Warriors +2.5 v. Cavs | 101-115 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 23 m | Show | |
511 Golden State at ClevelandWith Green back in the lineup the Warriors are a totally different team defensively. His energy was sorely missing last game and he brings a spark to this squad. As great as Irving and James looked, the main reason was the ability to drive to the basket. With Green back in the lineup that likely won’t happen again.The Warriors have been terrific off a loss all season and we expect a bounce back here. Our hearts are in Cleveland but our senses say take the Warriors.PLAY GOLDEN STATE |
|||||||
06-15-16 | Tigers v. White Sox -170 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
968 Detroit at ChicagoWe don’t often dabble in lines this high but we feel this number is a bargain based on the over adjustment to current form with Sale. He’s still an elite pitcher going against a journeyman in Pelfrey. The Tigers starter is only going 5.3 innings a start which opens up the Chicago batters to one of the worst bullpens in baseball once again. The host owns major advantages all around except for the lefty/righty hitting category, which in no way measures up to the pitching and defensive edges for the host.PLAY CHICAGO WHITE SOX |
|||||||
06-13-16 | Cavs v. Warriors -5.5 | 112-97 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
510 Cleveland at Golden State Just like last year the Cavaliers and its fans gave it all in game three and just didn’t have the sam energy in game four. I was there for both games in Cleveland a year ago and my friends back home said the same atmosphere surrounded those two games this year. Now down 3-1 and having to sweep the remaining three games seems like a near impossible task for the Cavaliers.While the suspension of Green is an edge on the court for Cleveland, the mental edge is all Warriors. The players talked about how they felt Green got a unfavorable decision because the King LeBron James spoke to the league about it. So expect a fired up Warriors team tonight.Cleveland built this team to matchup with Golden State but the fact remains the Warriors are clearly the better team. Now 8-1 the last nine games played in this series. Look for Cleveland to give great effort early only to succumb to the Warriors in the second half.PLAY GOLDEN STATE |
|||||||
06-12-16 | Royals v. White Sox -120 | 3-1 | Loss | -120 | 2 h 8 m | Show | |
922 Kansas City at Chicago Return visit to the mound for Ventura after being thrown out last game for hitting Manny Machado. He’s struggled this year and the coaches were on him for continuing to headhunt. Because of his past we expect Ventura to stay away from the inside of the plate here, which will only help the White Sox hitters. We rate Rodon as the clearly better starter and the White Sox the much better hitting team.Kansas City obviously owns the bullpen, but the Royals are just 3-12 this year on the road when playing a team with a worse record. A complete turnaround from the last two years when Kansas City was excellent in that role.PLAY CHICAGO WHITE SOX |
|||||||
06-11-16 | Dodgers +114 v. Giants | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
959 Los Angeles at San Francisco Slight starter edge for the visitor to go with a huge bullpen edge for the Dodgers. Los Angeles also owns the lefty/righty matchup as San Francisco has had troubles vs left handed starters. Overall we are getting the better complete team in this contest at a plus price.PLAY LOS ANGELES DODGERS |
|||||||
06-10-16 | Tigers +128 v. Yankees | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
915 Detroit at New YorkWhile the Yankees have the pitching edge in this one the advantage is not as wide as you may think. The reason is how well the Tigers hit left-handed pitching. Out of all the lefty/righty matches on the board today Detroit has the biggest discrepancy on the card. That’s rare for a team in this price range, so the payoff is more than fair here. The Tigers will get to CC and if Pelfrey can put up an average game the back end of the Yankees rotation won’t be able to leave the bullpen.PLAY DETROIT |
|||||||
06-07-16 | Rays +165 v. Diamondbacks | 0-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
977 Tampa Bay at ArizonaThe American League has traditionally dominated these interleague contests, so it’s very rare to get an AL squad in this price range. The starting pitcher is clearly an edge for the Diamondbacks, but every other category goes to the visitor. The lefty/righty advantage for the Rays is the tipping point. Great value on the underdog here.PLAY TAMPA BAY |
|||||||
06-06-16 | Astros v. Rangers +109 | 5-6 | Win | 109 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
916 Houston at TexasThe Rangers have been dynamite the last couple years in this role according to our friends at SportsDataBase.com. Texas is 27-14 with an ROI of 36.5% at home off a home game in which their bullpen went at least one inning and did not allow a run. That’s 5-1 this year. Also the Rangers are 56-25 with an ROI of 28.0% at home after playing as a home dog when facing a team with a worse record. That’s a perfect 6-0 this year.There is no starting pitching edge while Houston is the slightly better offense. The Astros have the better bullpen but not enough to have them favored here on the road. PLAY TEXAS |
|||||||
06-04-16 | Mariners -107 v. Rangers | 4-10 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
927 Seattle at TexasSolid pitching edge for the Mariners as Nate Karns has really stepped up his game as of late. The Mariners also have a sizable advantage in the bullpen and defensively. They also hit better against lefties than the Rangers do against righties. The price is right with the better all-around team on Saturday.PLAY SEATTLE |
|||||||
06-03-16 | Rays v. Twins +110 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
978 Tampa Bay at MinnesotaJake Odorizzi has been a highly thought of pitcher in this organization for a while. While he is very talented his numbers at this level have been less than impressive. Yet he continues to be credited more on his potential than actual results.Ricky Nolasco has been a journeyman for most of his career, but this season he has been at the top of his game. When handicapping starters you have to take into consideration the current levels these two are pitching at, and Nolasco is having the better year. Our friends at SportsDataBase.com point out that the Twins are 25-17 when the bullpen pitches at least a full inning without allowing a run, which has been a solid handicapping angle for the league as a whole. Nice value tonight on the host.PLAY MINNESOTA |
|||||||
06-02-16 | Cavs +6 v. Warriors | Top | 89-104 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
501 Cleveland at Golden State Nice setup for the well rested Cavs here. Off a much easier playoff run and Golden State being taken to the limit against Oklahoma City. This Cleveland team was built to match up against the Warriors and this is not the same club that Golden State embarrassed earlier. Playoff revenge and extra rest make this a major steal game for the visitor.PLAY CLEVELAND |
|||||||
06-01-16 | Mariners v. Padres +164 | 6-14 | Win | 164 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
980 Seattle at San Diego As we’ve mentioned in the past King Felix has put up his normal outstanding numbers when looking at traditional stats. But when you dig deeper in his advanced numbers we find an overrated starter. His velocity is way down and his swinging strike rate has also plummeted. He’s being led by a BABIP that is way below his career numbers. So luck has been a major factor in his success. According to our friends at SportsDataBase.com the Mariners are only 72-73 as a favorite when playing a team with a worse record, an ROI loss of 16.4%. They are also 60-83 after winning by 5 or more runs for an ROI loss of 16.2%. We will back the Padres as this line is simply way too high.PLAY SAN DIEGO |
|||||||
05-31-16 | Rays -118 v. Royals | 5-10 | Loss | -118 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
919 Tampa Bay at Kansas CitySolid pitching edge here for Drew Smyly who is at a nice price after recent struggles. But he continues to miss bats and we see no reason to bet against him in this price range. Especially against a Kansas City team who is weak offensively when facing lefties. Tampa is a better offensive team on the road and Dillon Gee ranks slightly less than an average major league pitcher.PLAY TAMPA BAY |
|||||||
05-30-16 | Dodgers +125 v. Cubs | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
955 Los Angeles at ChicagoGoing with the Dodgers here as a nice underdog as the pitching matchup favors the visitor here. Alex Wood struggled out of the gate but he has been outstanding as of late. Hammer has been very inconsistent, so we prefer the Dodger lefty.All other numbers are very close so we will take the Dodgers in this Memorial Day battle.PLAY LOS ANGELES DODGERS |
|||||||
05-27-16 | Cavs v. Raptors +7 | 113-87 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
722 Cleveland at Toronto The home teams have dominated in this series and we have seen no reason to deviate from that trend. Cleveland knows if this series gets back to Quicken Loans Arena the result is a foregone conclusion. Therefore Toronto gets one last chance to impress the home crowd tonight. Every team shoots better on its home court and the crowd has an affect on the referees. In a physical series like this that affect is magnified. While the Cavs would love to put away the Raptors here for extra rest, the championship series doesn’t start till next Thursday. So either team will have rest.PLAY TORONTO |
|||||||
05-27-16 | White Sox +132 v. Royals | 5-7 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
921 Chicago at Kansas CityThis play is simply a go against the Royals as Kansas City has struggled offensively all year and is now without key offensive performers. The Royals are digging through the minors in search of help as both left field and third base are being handled by rookies. Danny Duffy has bounced between the bullpen and rotation throughout his time in the majors. While the Royals do have the starter edge here it’s not nearly pronounced enough to put them in this price range. Nice spot to get the first place White Sox as a solid underdog.PLAY CHICAGO WHITE SOX |
|||||||
05-27-16 | Dodgers +104 v. Mets | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
905 Los Angeles at New YorkdeGrom hasn’t been the same pitcher as last year and the absolute demise of Harvey has kept that fact in the background. He’s still being overpriced based on the season he had a year ago. While the line has certainly dropped since the terrible opener we feel there is still value on the Dodgers here.Julio Urias has likely been the most talked about teenager in baseball circles since Brice Harper. He’s making his major league debut at the age of 19. The Dodgers could have waited on him and brought him up later for contract reasons, but there is simply nothing for him to prove in the minors. The Mets struggle against lefties and seeing an extremely talented one for the first time is a big advantage for the visitor. We may be seeing a future Hall of Famer here if the scouts are correct.PLAY LA DODGERS |
|||||||
05-26-16 | Rockies +160 v. Red Sox | 8-2 | Win | 160 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
965 Colorado at Boston Sizable starting pitcher edge for the Rockies as we simply cannot back Clay Buchholz in this price range. Two key Red Sox infield starters left the last game and likely will sit tonight. With Boston less than 100% offensively the edges for the Red Sox are minimal.PLAY COLORADO |
|||||||
05-25-16 | Reds v. Dodgers -164 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
912 Cincinnati at Los Angeles Dodgers have the edges across the board here from starting pitcher, relief pitching and offense. Major historical edges can be found at SportsDataBase.com. The Reds are 64-116 when playing a team with a better record. Cinco is 19-52 as a dog after the bullpen allowed multiple runs. The Dodgers on the other hand are 31-11 as a favorite after allowing 6 hits or less. With the LA bullpen in solid shape and the Reds relief being a fire sale we will back the Dodgers at home at a decent price.PLAY LA DODGERS |
|||||||
05-24-16 | Angels +102 v. Rangers | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
965 LA Angels at Texas We will back the Angels here as they own a decent edge with Chacin on the mound against Perez. Most of our numbers have this game pretty equal other than the starting pitcher, but the lefty/righty advantage also goes to the visitor. Because of injuries and suspensions the Rangers have had to make major changes around the entire field. Nice value here on the road team.PLAY LOS ANGELES ANGELS |
|||||||
05-23-16 | Cavs -6 v. Raptors | Top | 99-105 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 13 m | Show |
713 Cleveland at Toronto We expect a big rebound here from the Cavaliers who are 8-1 ATS as a road favorite in revenge this season. The players talked about taking the Raptors for granted and the lack of effort showed. If you’ve followed LeBron James in his career you know his teams rarely if ever give bad efforts two games in a row. PLAY CLEVELAND |

901 New York Mets at WashingtonNice price for the underdog Mets here in a key divisional showdown. SportsDataBase.com shows New York is 67-44 with an ROI of 10.9% coming off a game in which the bullpen didn’t allow a run in at least an inning of work. New York had two shutout innings yesterday against the Brewers as the bullpen is set up nicely for Colon.PLAY NEW YORK METS |

05-21-16 | Dodgers -157 v. Padres | 2-3 | Loss | -157 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
913 LA Dodgers at San Diego Substantial starting pitching edge for Alex Wood. The Dodgers have the better bullpen and far better defense. The lefty/righty lineups also favor the visitor.As per our friends at SportsDataBase.com the Padres are only 7-25 as a dog after a home game in which they used 5 or more pitchers. 112 pitches were thrown by the San Diego bullpen last night.PLAY LOS ANGELES DODGERS |

05-20-16 | Braves v. Phillies -163 | 7-1 | Loss | -163 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
954 Atlanta at Philadelphia Edges all around for the Phillies here as Nola has a huge edge over Wisler on the mound. Philadelphia also owns big advantages in the bullpen and defensively. The offenses are roughly equal so no edge there. But according to SportsDataBase.com the Braves are just 39-65 off a road game in which the bullpen allowed multiple runs. Atlanta used five pitchers yesterday against the Pirates throwing 88 combined pitches. The Phillies on the other hand had the day off.PLAY PHILADELPHIA |

05-18-16 | Rays +112 v. Blue Jays | 6-3 | Win | 112 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
971 Tampa Bay at TorontoSticking with the Rays here who own a huge starting pitcher and defensive edge in this contest. Road divisional dogs off a win have returned an ROI of 9.6% this year and 10.3% in over 2200 contests. This is a long winning system and we currently catch Odorizzi in an underdog role.PLAY TAMPA BAY |

05-17-16 | Yankees +114 v. Diamondbacks | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
927 NY Yankees at Arizona The Diamondbacks pounded the Yankees yesterday 12-2 but a key point was that none of the New York elite pitchers played in the game. The listing of pitchers for the Yankees were Green, Goody, Mullee and Coke. All the top bullpen players are fresh and available tonight. Which is a big edge when playing in a good hitting environment like Arizona. As per SportsDataBase.com the Diamondbacks are 31-52 after scoring 6 or more runs. The starter matchup is virtually equal as Greinke has taken a step back as we all expected going from pitchers parks to a hitters park in Arizona. The bullpen obviously is a huge edge for New York and the lefty/righty edges for the hitters also belongs to the Yankees. PLAY NY YANKEES |

957 Tampa Bay at Toronto Drew Smyly against JA Happ is a sizable advantage with the starters. Happy was great in Pittsburgh but going back to Toronto is a whole different situation, and Happ has looked more like the old American League journeyman than the Pirates successful starter. Toronto is the better hitting team but we don’t like the distraction on the bench clearing brawl from yesterday. Tampa has a big defensive edge here that puts the Rays over the top. PLAY TAMPA BAY |

05-15-16 | Pirates v. Cubs -145 | 2-1 | Loss | -145 | 2 h 57 m | Show | |
908 Pittsburgh at Chicago You are not going to get the Cubs at home with Lester on the hill in this type of price range very often. Chicago has been dominating in all aspects this year and the advanced stats say this squad is even better than its record. According to SportsDataBase.com the Cubs are 67-38 after allowing 6 or fewer hits, a perfect 10-0 this season! That means when the relievers are not overused and the starters do their job its hard to score on this team in future contests. The Pirates are a good team but this squad is overmatched here, even with Cole on the hill.

970 Minnesota at Cleveland We won't sell higher priced favorites to daily customers, but we do feel this play has value and we have already bet it ourselves. According to SportsDataBase.com the Indians are a perfect 12-0 off a home game in which it allowed 6 runs or more. 26-7 overall after permitting 6 runs or better. The Tribe has been very consistent in being able to bounce back from a poor pitching performance. The starting rotation is very competitive and talented so look for Kluber to once again pitch a quality start. PLAY CLEVELAND |

906 Cincinnati at PhiladelphiaRare chance to go against the Reds on the road at a decent price. According to SportsDataBase.com Cincinnati is 63-105 when playing a team with a better record. Also consider that the Reds are 19-45 as a dog after its bullpen allowed multiple runs. Philadelphia is a confident team with help on the way in the high minors. After being a laughing stock the past few years this team is starting to mature. Hellickson doesn’t dazzle so he is often underpriced. That’s the situation tonight as we back the upstart Phillies.PLAY PHILADELPHIA |

964 Houston at BostonBoth starters have struggled this year but there is value on the Red Sox here. Houston just went 16 innings with the Indians last night and the bullpen as you would expect was used heavily. According to our friends at SportsDataBase.com the Astros are 31-77 on the road after using five or more pitchers. They are also just 3-17 facing a lefty after squaring off with three right handed starters. Boston has an elite bullpen, which is a huge advantage in this contest. With the much better hitting team, playing at home, you can say the Price is Right!PLAY BOSTON |

Smiley continues to be underrated in the betting markets and we prefer the hitting of the Rays here in this lefty on lefty starter comparison.Seattle is only 40-58 playing at home against a team with a worse record, according to our friends at SportsDataBase.com. As you would assume a great many of those games Seattle was installed as the home favorite, which makes those stats even more alarming.PLAY TAMPA BAY |

525 Cleveland at AtlantaA major key for the Cavaliers this postseason is limiting the games played, therefore having an edge against upcoming opponents. So far so good as Cleveland is 7-0 in the playoffs. The Cavs have also dominated the Hawks the past two seasons including a sweep in the playoffs a year ago. Today Cleveland attempts for a repeat against a Hawks team that just doesn’t match up well with them.Atlanta had a chip on its shoulder coming into this series, but its clear now that the Hawks aren’t at the same level as Cleveland. We can’t see this team putting in enough effort to have to go back to Cleveland for game five. In a building that 3 point records were set against them. Teams with a 3-0 series lead have dominated in closeout games, and with LeBron having tons of experience in this situation we can’t see the Hawks competing.PLAY CLEVELAND |

524 Golden State at PortlandThe Warriors haven’t fared well in the playoffs after winning the first two games at home. This is traditionally the game to back the host after going 0-2 on the road to open the series. Portland has been very successful in the playoffs in this building and we expect an all out effort here. The Blazers had a double digit lead in Golden State last time out before collapsing in the fourth quarter. We we look for Portland to put this one in the win column while Curry remains sidelined.PLAY PORTLAND |

979 Los Angeles at TorontoShould be a terrific pitching matchup here as Maeda takes on Stroman. But we see some value with the Dodgers as Maeda has yet to allow a run on the road this year while Marcus has been simply average in the dome. Too much value on the dog here to not take the generous plus money with a pitcher that remains under the radar in  the betting markets.PLAY LA DODGERS |

953 Cubs at PiratesThis game starts early so I’m limiting the analysis. Basically you won’t find the Cubs in this price range very often. Chicago is 40-16 when favored after allowing 6 or fewer hits. Which means the bullpen is set up well. The Pirates hit lefties well but the Cubs are playing great baseball right now.PLAY CHICAGO CUBS |

929 Washington at Kansas CityTanner Roark is part of an outstanding Washington organization that has been so deep in starting pitching that he has remained under the radar. The Nationals are so deep the number one pitching prospect in baseball can’t get the call-up, and others on the MLB roster are forced to pitch out of the pen. Roark has seized the opportunity this year and has been amazing. Chris Young because of his height has been a somewhat successful journeyman that fits this ballpark perfectly. But he has really struggled to hold his place in the rotation this year, and the offense has struggled all season.Washington is the better team, with the far better pitcher, and is installed as an underdog. Case closed.PLAY WASHINGTON |

Cleveland owned Atlanta in the regular season as the Hawks defense that stymied the rest of the league didn’t have the same effect on Cleveland.Cleveland is well rested while the Hawks were challenged by the Celtics. Atlanta has to work extremely hard defensively in that series and despite wanting to make things right against this team, this isn’t the game for it.PLAY CLEVELAND |

506 Portland at Golden StateCheap number here for the host Warriors, who like the Spurs last night are the better team with added rest. Despite the loss of Curry this team has All-Star caliber players throughout the lineup. It’s important for the Warriors to get up in this series early so Curry doesn’t have to be rushed back from injury. That could really throw a wrench in their championship repeat plans. Portland wasn’t expected to advance past the Clippers before the two key injuries.

980 Cleveland at PhiladelphiaWrong team favored here in our estimation as Eickhoff has already surpassed Bauer in our starter rankings. The Phillies are playing confident ball right now and according to Sports DataBase.com Philadelphia is 42-22 after a walk off win. Considering how bad this squad has been the past few years that is a very impressive stat. Better starter, momentum and home field give the Phillies the edge.PLAY PHILADELPHIA |

926 Houston at Oakland The rest advantage goes to the Astros here after having the day off while Oakland travels back from Detroit. But Houston hasn’t performed well in this situation. According to our friends at SportsDataBase.com the Astros are 3-16 on the road vs a lefty after facing three straight righties. To make matters worse it’s a lefty the Astros have never faced.Sean Manaea a prized pitching prospect for the A’s is making his major league debut. We have been excited to see this big lefty with outstanding minor league numbers make the majors. He’s instantly a major pitching rotation upgrade for Oakland, and we have had great success in the past riding these young talented lefties the first time through the league. Our initial situation happens tonight in a home dog role. PLAY OAKLAND |

712 Toronto at IndianaToronto has a chance to end the series tonight with a road win at Indiana, but we don’t feel that will be the result. Indiana blew a big lead in the last game and let the Raptors come all the way back for the victory. The Pacers are still stewing about that loss as it’s been on their minds since the defeat. Toronto hasn’t proven themselves to be the clearly better team in this series and we fully expect it to go the distance. Cheap line for Indiana at home with its back to the wall.PLAY INDIANA |

918 Oakland at Detroit The A’s have been very impressive on the road this year but we are siding with the reasonably priced Tigers at home today. As per our friends at SportsDataBase.com the A’s are just 12-33 as a dog when facing an opposing starter with an ERA above 4. They are also 20-40 as a dog when playing a team with a worse record.The starters play out as a virtual tie with the home field edge of Verlander. Detroit has the much superior offense while the A’s have the better relievers. Detroit’s home offense is one of the best in baseball and it’s rare we get a number one starter at this price at home.PLAY DETROIT |

927 Seattle at LA AngelsHuge starting pitching mismatch here as Felix is still a highly rated starter and Santiago isn’t highly thought of. The fact that Hector is the number three starter in this rotation tells us all we need to know about the Angels starting rotation. Felix has gotten off to a dominating start by looking at traditional numbers. But advanced stats show he’s starting to age. The key here is those stories about his demise have been overblown. Every pitcher who has put in the type of innings he has has to make adjustments. The ability to blow away the opposition is no longer consistent. But Felix has been able to adapt and become more of a pitcher and less a thrower. Too much of an overreaction here as we get Hernandez as a sizable underdog.PLAY SEATTLE |

With Davies unlikely to have success the Milwaukee bullpen will be put into play early. The Brewers used three relievers yesterday throwing 83 overall pitches. According to our friends at SportsDataBase.com Milwaukee is 11-25 after losing by 5 or more runs.

534 Oklahoma City at DallasThe Mavericks have lost by double digits at home just three times since early November, once to these Thunder by 13. So it’s rare that this club isn’t competitive at home. Dallas is a veteran squad with plenty of playoff experience. It’s hard to imagine this club being a home dog in the playoffs of this magnitude.Oklahoma City lost at home so the knee jerk reaction would be to back them here. But while they likely get the victory, winning by a margin is not guaranteed. The Thunder are not a complete team like Cleveland, Golden State or San Antonio. While good, this isn’t an elite club. To expect a blowout victory on the road is too much to ask.PLAY DALLAS |

While Portland is an underdog in this series, an upset wouldn’t be a shocker.Portland shot poorly last time out and the Clippers won easily. That likely won’t be the case here as we expect this one to go down to the wire. The Clippers are not a team we trust to play consistent basketball, which is why it looks so great one day and terrible the next. We expect Portland to set the tone early and make this game a nail biter for Clippers fans. We will back Portland to get out to a good start and take this one to the buzzer.PLAY PORTLAND |

922 Tampa Bay at BostonCheap price for the Red Sox at home while facing a much less challenging offense. Coming off the powerful profile of the Blue Jays to the National League type of baseball played by the Rays, gives the Red Sox an advantage here. According to SportsDataBase.com and the SDQL the Red Sox are 52-20 when playing at home after three straight quality starts. Considering that Boston has an elite bullpen now we can only expect that winning trend to continue. While we really like Drew Smyly facing the Red Sox in Fenway is a daunting task. Let’s back Boston as it continues this homestead against the traveling Rays.PLAY BOSTON |

The Hornets just don’t have any playoff experience and the Heat are a playoff veteran squad.

These are two of the best hitting lineups in baseball, from a run scoring ability and in the power department. The two starting pitchers are rated low in our chart and both have had control problems which lead to more baserunners. This total s extremely low considering the ballpark and the reasons we have already stated.PLAY OVER |

972 Toronto at BostonThe Red Sox were good to us yesterday and we come right back on them on Saturday. Starting pitching is a huge part of making baseball lines and this number has us stumped. The Red Sox are using a number 1 starter against the number 3 for the Blue Jays. Boston is playing at home with the far superior relief pitching. The Price/Estrada pitching duel is heavily favored for the host. We understand the lefty/righty situation for Toronto. There is simply too much value not to play on David Price in this range at home. PLAY BOSTON |

956 San Francisco at Colorado Rare chance to get a teams opening day starter in this price range against a number five starter from the opposition. Matt Cain has really struggled as of late and is lucky to still be in the league. Injuries and lack of production have really hurt this one time quality starter. In the rankings we use he is one of the five worst starting pitchers in baseball, and he has to pitch today in Coors Field. San Francisco isn’t as effective against lefties and De La Rosa is one of a few starters in baseball to figure out how to pitch in this park. Great value on the host. PLAY COLORADO |

723 Memphis at Golden State The Grizzlies just played the Warriors down to the wire in a 100-99 loss in which the team blew that game. Golden State had to have a huge rally late in order to set themselves up for the season win record tonight. So Memphis is playing with meaningful revenge and a win tonight in Golden State would make the season for the visitor. As mentioned the Warriors had a tough time with Memphis as well as back to back victories over the second seeded team in the west in the San Antonio Spurs. Now the public is all over this team to win in blowout fashion for the record. But keep in mind the only two times Golden State has been in this price range was against Phoenix and Philadelphia, arguably the two worst teams in the league. It should be noted that Golden State didn’t come close to covering either of those games. Now Memphis with a 42-39 seasonal record is in that class. Sure injuries are a factor but there is no way the Warriors play its starters longer than needed today with the playoffs on the horizon. PLAY MEMPHIS |

Houston is terrific at home and dominated the game yesterday. The price is cheap in this one as we expect a repeat. PLAY HOUSTON |

908 Chicago at Arizona The Cubs are already going to be overvalued to open the season. First because they are an extremely popular team, and because Chicago is one of the top teams in the league. But now off a sweep of the Angels the public is even more on the Cubs bandwagon. But we are really down on the Angels this year, so to have success at Anaheim isn't a surprise. Now the team travels to Arizona to take on a Diamondbacks team that has some talent themselves. Rubby De La Rosa is the slightly better pitcher here. Don't be fooled by the numbers from last year as Lackey came out of nowhere to pitch great. He's still a quality arm but Rubby is an underated starter. We have the Arizona starter slightly better, and that's not showing in this line. While the Cubs should be favored here, the line is way too high. Nice spot for the home dog here against a peaking foe. PLAY ARIZONA |

We look to go against teams and players after winning postseason honors. He was dynamite at home last year but, his numbers were not as impressive when taking to the highway. Houston is thought by many to be the favorite in its division, but keep in mind that this is still a very young team. The Yankees are an afterthought in a lot of peoples minds, which is why they are a home underdog on opening day. But when healthy Tanaka is as good as any pitcher in the league. This is a nice spot to take plus money on an underrated squad.PLAY NY YANKEES |

Neither pitching staff has a true ace but we believe Chris Tillman will be a money maker this year. We won’t be backing the Orioles often because of such poor team pitching, but this is a matchup which is underpriced in the markets. The combination of Santana and his wildness along with Baltimore's power makes this a solid play for the host. The Orioles are a high scoring power team, and when facing a pitcher with a base on balls tendency, we will back them.PLAY BALTIMORE |

907 NY Mets at Kansas City Too many reasons not to like the Mets here. Obvious World Series revenge is a major point along with all the championship festivities for the host Royals. On the diamond New York sends Harvey to the mound which is a major edge over Volquez. Add in the fact that the Royals bullpen which has been dynamite over the years, may show some cracks. Closer Davis has lost 3 mph velocity on all his pitches in the spring which could be a precursor to an injury. The same thing showed a year ago with Holland and he missed a great deal of the season with Tommy John surgery. We really respect this Kansas City bunch but we do not expect them to even win the division this year.PLAY NY METS |

511 New York at Dallas Coming down the stretch neither of these two squads are playing good ball. New York wasn’t considered to be much of a contender this year and the team has played that way most of the season. So this handicap isn’t a play on the Knicks, but a play against the Mavericks.Dallas is playing its 3rd game in four days against a rested Knicks team here. Dallas is a half game out of the final playoff spot currently held by the Rockets. Dallas has dropped 10 of its last 13 games despite its claim of playing for the playoffs. The simple truth is that this team is better off not making the postseason and getting swept by the Warriors in the first round. But yet this line has slowly risen from the opener because the betting public feels that this is a MUST WIN GAME. The truth about must win games is that teams in that position aren’t really very good. When half the league makes the playoffs in the NBA its not such an accomplishment. Especially for a Dallas team who has had plenty of success in the playoffs. Here we get an inflated number against a team that has shown little interest in extending its season. Classic must win overreaction here for the host.PLAY NEW YORK |

771 Washington at Golden State While Washington now sits 2 1/2 games out of the playoff hunt with postseason hopes fading, this is the type of game in which the team can build on for next year. Washington lost to Golden state at home by double digits back in February but have won 6 of 8 heading down the stretch of this season. There is no pressure on the visitor here, but a win would be big for the future.Golden State continues its pursuit of the Chicago Bulls victory record, and now it is favored to break it. But one thing we have seen as of late is Golden State is trying to rest some players while doing so. The Warriors played key members deep into games in blowouts earlier this season, now the team is cutting back on those key minutes as the season nears an end. This team has failed to cash 5 of 6 lately despite only dropping one of those games on the scoreboard. With a trip to red hot Utah on deck, we can see the host getting out of town with a less than impressive scoreboard victory.PLAY WASHINGTON |

Off a victory over Toronto we can’t see that type of success on Sunday.Indiana had an embarrassing loss yesterday at Brooklyn. It’s the first loss to a team with a losing record since the final game of a road trip December 23rd at Sacramento.

Tonight we look for more of the same as Wisconsin has the ability to slow down this Irish squad who likes to run. The Badgers have been terrific away from home this year with wins over the likes of VCU, Syracuse, Maryland and Xavier, four teams that all won a game in this tournament. The Badgers allowed 63 and 43 to Xavier and Pittsburgh in the first two rounds, and permits an effective field goal percentage of 48.2. This team had a long ride in this tourney a year ago and knows how to win close games. The Irish are a good shooting team but Wisconsin is a different defensive animal. Notre Dame was 7-7 against teams that made the tournament, while Wisconsin is 9-6. The Badgers lost key players in the offseason and have gotten better as the year has unfolded. The Badgers are the better team here.PLAY WISCONSIN |

This is a very tough trip for Georgia Tech and the Aztecs have sold out in anticipation of this matchup. The total on this game looks a bit low considering what happened in the last games from these two combatants. But keep in mind Georgia Tech played a South Carolina team that suspended six players, so very little defense was played. San Diego State just faced a fast paced high scoring Washington team.

In the five games this season Cleveland has permitted 113 points or more, the following game the team allowed just 84, 99, 99, 78 and 96 points.

And the opposing team reads the same quotes and comes in overconfident. That team this year is the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. A highly respected sports book in Vegas released this game at pick ‘em. Others used Michigan -3 as the starting point based on the coaching edge for the Wolverines. Now we are seeing 4’s on the board as the public is following what it heard on television.

Not sure Florida will be able to distance themselves from a team shooting an outrageous effective field goal percentage of 58.1.

706 Atlanta at Utah The Hawks are coming in off an impressive victory at the LA Clippers. After facing Utah, Atlanta travels for a much more important game at Toronto. The Hawks lost the only other meeting with the Raptors by double digits.Utah just broke a five game losing streak at New Orleans, and returns home off back to back home losses. This is still a team fighting for the playoffs and this becomes a must win game for the host. After this contest the Jazz travel to Golden State to face the Warriors tomorrow. Therefore you know the coaching staff will do anything possible to assure this victory.PLAY UTAH |

03-07-16 | Grizzlies +12.5 v. Cavs | Top | 106-103 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
503 Memphis at Cleveland The Grizzlies have won 5 of 7 games heading into tonight, with both losses to the lowly Suns. That tells us that motivation is a concern for Memphis. But that won’t be the case tonight as it takes on the Eastern Conference team with the top record.The Grizzlies also are seeking revenge for a 30 point home loss on opening night to these same Cavaliers.The Cavs just played five straight games against possible playoff opponents, with six games on the horizon against the West. These games are not nearly as important for Cleveland who looks to secure home court value to the NBA Championship. Cleveland just beat an up and coming Boston team, so we can see a letdown occurring tonight. Especially with a four game road trip on the horizon.PLAY MEMPHIS |

840 Atlanta at LA Lakers Terrible spot here for the Hawks who have this game sandwiched between the Warriors and Clippers. Two teams in which Atlanta was and is playing with home loss revenge. Atlanta just dropped a close game at Golden State when the Warriors were not at full strength. Despite a 33-28 record on the season Atlanta enters this contest on a 3-6 run. This is the second game of a five game road trip for the Hawks.The Lakers are starting its longest home stand of the season with eight straight games at the Staples Center. After this contest LA plays Golden State and Cleveland 2 of the next 3 games. This is a contest the Lakers can be competitive in and it wouldn’t surprise us if it pulls the outright upset.PLAY LOS ANGELES LAKERS |

03-03-16 | Old Dominion v. North Texas +7 | 76-70 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
530 Old Dominion at North Texas The Monarchs have won 7 of 9 heading into this contest, with the only home loss during that span coming against Rice, the team it meets next on the schedule. This Old Dominion team had no problem with North Texas in the earlier meeting winning 67-47 at home. The Rice home loss revenge game is Saturday afternoon, just a day and a half after this contest ends. We can see the Monarchs looking past the Mean Green here. Old Dominion has played much better at home this year as have North Texas. With the Mean Green coming in after four straight home victories but two straight losses on the road this week, we can see a confident bunch tonight with something to prove. Nice spot here for the host and the home/road dichotomy gives us nice value.PLAY NORTH TEXAS |
