06-24-21 | Red Sox v. Rays -117 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show |
Boston at Tampa Bay 7:10 ET Rays over Red Sox- The Rays finally got off the snide yesterday winning 8-2 over the Red Sox ending their 7-game losing streak. Today they will try and continue a win streak by sending Michael Wacha (1-2, 5.19 ERA) to the hill as he tries to regain his past All-Star form. But, his stats say it won't happen as he surrenders more hits than innings pitched and averages only 5.5 K's per nine innings. Boston will start Nick Pivetta (6-3, 4.36) and he is 0-3 in June with an ERA of 5.66 as he has surrendered six home runs in his last three starts after allowing just three in his first 11 outings. Tampa is 14-3 in their last 17 games against division opponents. Take the RAYS! |

06-23-21 | Dodgers v. Padres -110 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show |
L.A. Dodgers at San Diego 10:10 ET Padres over Dodgers- This should be a great pitching matchup between the Dodgers Trevor Bauer (7-5, 2.45 ERA) and San Diego's Joe (No-hit) Musgrove (4-6, 2.28) a pair among the NL ERA leaders. San Diego has been outstanding at home winning 27 of 41 games including 22-6 in their last 28 and they have won six of the last seven meetings. Los Angeles is 0-5 in their last five road games as underdogs and Bauer is 1-4 lifetime against the Padres. Take SAN DIEGO! |

06-23-21 | Hawks v. Bucks -7.5 | Top | 116-113 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 43 m | Show |
Atlanta at Milwaukee 8:30 ET Bucks (-) over Hawks- Atlanta has certainly shown that they belong as they have won two playoff series against the Knicks and the 76ers. Milwaukee pulled off the biggest surprise in the playoffs to date coming back from and 0-2 deficit after losing Game 2 by 49 points to Brooklyn before rallying for a win in Game 7 over a depleted Nets squad. This line appears to be very high and inviting if you like Atlanta especially when we see that the Hawks are 12-3 ATS in the last 15 meetings at Milwaukee. After two years of having the best record in the NBA and failing early in the playoffs the Bucks can advance to the Finals will a win over Atlanta and they are looking to atone for past failures just to get there. Take MILWAUKEE! |

06-22-21 | Giants v. Angels -119 | 5-0 | Loss | -119 | 13 h 30 m | Show | |
San Francisco at L.A. Angeles 9:35 ET Angels over Giants- San Francisco and their starting pitcher have found new life this season as the Giants have the best record in MLB and Anthony DeSclafani (7-2, 3.01 ERA) is having a career year after posting a 37-39 career record in his six previous seasons. He has allowed two runs or fewer in 10 of 14 starts while is Los Angeles will start opening day hurler in lefty Andrew Heaney (4-4, 4.45). Heaney is 3-1 with a 3.04 ERA in his last four starts including a stint against the Giants where he allowed one run in 6.1 innings. The Angels are 9-1 in their last 10 games as home favorites. Take LOS ANGELES! |
|||||||
06-22-21 | Clippers v. Suns -4.5 | Top | 103-104 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns over Clippers- There seems to be a patten with these Clippers as they go down early in these playoff series and then make an epic comeback and advance with or without 2-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard. The Suns with also be without one of their prime time players in Chris Paul whose absence has been overcome by Devin Booker's play. Both starts Paul and Leonard again will be sidelined. Phoenix is 8-0 in their last eight games overall sort of the way they closed last season in the 'Bubble' and they are 23-9 as home favorites. Take the SUNS! |
|||||||
06-22-21 | Braves -106 v. Mets | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
Atlanta at N.Y. Mets 7:10 ET Braves over Mets- After making a run for the NL pennant last year the Braves have yet to show the form that vaulted them into the Championship series against the Dodgers and they trail the Mets by 7-games this season. So it seem a bit off that Atlanta is made a small favorite at New York will will start Marcus Stroman (6-5, 2.34 ERA) who pitched at least six innings in eight straight starts and he is 4-0 with a 1.88 ERA in four career starts against the Braves. Atlanta will start Charlie Morton (6-3, 4.03) and he is 1-3 with a 3.52 ERA in nine starts against New York. This 'price' doesn't look right to me...take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
06-22-21 | Reds v. Twins -125 | 10-7 | Loss | -125 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Minnesota 1:10 ET Twins over Reds- 'We' missed out yesterday by not posting as 'our' lead play and they won without me. Minnesota has regrouped and now won their last five after falling to a season's low 15-games under .500. Cincinnati appears to be treading water at this point and are 1-game under the break-even mark and will send Wade Miley (6-4, 2.88 ERA) who pitched a no-hitter in May against the Indians and has gone 3-3 since. Minnesota will start 6-foot-9 Bailey Ober (0-0, 3.71) and in his last outing of four innings struck-out six with one hit and no walks. Minny on a roll...take the TWINS! |
|||||||
06-21-21 | Indians v. Cubs -133 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -133 | 12 h 10 m | Show |
Cleveland at Chicago Cubs 8:05 ET Cubs over Indians- What's left of the Cleveland Indians rotation is hurting and have a very unique situation with their starting rotation. The team has 39 wins and they have only three pitchers that have more than one win. With Bieber (7-4) and Plesac (4-3) on the IL it leaves just Aaron Civale (10-2, 3.48 ERA) as the three starters have accounted for 21 wins. Chicago will start Adbert Alzolay (4-5, 4.06) who is getting his first start coming off the IL and has pitched much better at home where he has a 3.40 ERA and where the Cubs have won his last four starts, Chicago splits have them 24-12 at home while the Indians are 1-4 in their last five road games. Take CUBS! |
|||||||
06-20-21 | Hawks v. 76ers -7 | Top | 103-96 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 29 m | Show |
Atlanta at Philadelphia 8:00 ET 76ers (-) over Hawks- It was a great run for Atlanta who has surprised the entire NBA in the progress they have made in the past season but as the Beatles said...It's all over now! The 76ers did what they had to do in their winning when facing elimination and that is something the Hawks will face for the first time. They would have to continue their torrid shooting and that's Trae Young's department while the rest of the crew struggles as they missed 11 of 24 free throws last time out. Atlanta will be without DeAndre hunter and most likely without Bogdan Bogdanovic and they just don't have the depth of the Sixers. Atlanta is just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games and are only 1-4 ATS in their last five games in Philly. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
06-20-21 | Clippers +4 v. Suns | 114-120 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at Phoenix 3:30 ET Clippers (+) over Suns- It appears to me that after the Clippers after all their failures in the past have been laying-in-wait for the playoffs and without the Lakers to contend with they have plenty of confidence with or without Kawhi Leonard. Don't get me wrong they are always better with Kawhi but they have played enough without him to compensate for his loss. Phoenix has the firepower but this is the furthest they have been in the playoffs in 20 years and they will feel pressure as the playoffs progress. I can talk about matchups and players abilities but that doesn't matter if you can't factor in a bad performance. The Clippers are 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings overall and have the mojo. Take LOS ANGELES! |
|||||||
06-20-21 | White Sox v. Astros -140 | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 5 h 0 m | Show | |
Chicago White Sox at Houston 2:10 ET Astros over White Sox- Houston has taken the first three games of this 4-game series and have won all five games on this current home stand improving to 15-4 in their last 19 games. The white Sox are 1-10 in their last 11 games after losing the first three games of a four game series. But, winning today will be a tough assignment for the Astros as Chicago starter Dallas Keuchel (6-1, 3.78 ERA) is 5-0 in his last eight starts and has allowed just three runs in his last 19 innings. Houston will counter with Lance McCullers (3-1, 2.89) and he is 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA over his last six starts and he is 2-1 against the White Sox with a 2.22 ERA. Add that Houston is 39-15 in their last 54 games at home versus left-handed starters and are 48-19 in their last 67 against the AL central. Take the ASTROS! |
|||||||
06-20-21 | Mets v. Nationals -105 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
New York Mets at Washington 1:05 ET Nationals over Mets- The Mets came up with a gem when signing Taijuan Walker (6-2, 2.12 ERA) who has allowed two runs or fewer in 10 of his 12 starts and has allowed just b44 hits in 68 innings. Washington will start Patrick Corbin (4-5, 5.60) who mis coming off his best showing of the season but he has surrendered four runs or more in six of his 13 starts and is 4-7 with a 4.44 ERA lifetime against New York. Despite all of this the Nationals are 6-1 in their last seven and 5-1 while hosting the Mets. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
06-20-21 | Indians v. Pirates -121 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -121 | 4 h 56 m | Show |
Cleveland at Pittsburgh 1:05 ET Pirates over Indians- Prior to this series start these team were headed in opposite directions as Pittsburgh had lost 10 in-a-row scoring just 22 runs while the Indians had won four straight and 10-of-14. But, things have turned since Friday as the Pirates put up 17 runs taking the two meetings. Cleveland is send left-hander Sam Hentges (1-1, 7.57 ERA) to the hill and he will face right-hander JT Brubaker (4-5, 3.88). The Indians have struggled on the road in inter-league play going 2-8 in their last 10 games and are 1-5 last six against righties. Take PITTSBURGH! |
|||||||
06-19-21 | Bucks +2 v. Nets | Top | 115-111 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Brooklyn 8:30 ET Bucks over Nets- Let me start by saying at at Pick-em or close enough that you will just have to pick the winner to win the bet. Now, here's the deal, NBA home teams own a 109-31 record in Games 7 and Milwaukee is 2-8 in their playoff Game 7's. Now, we are concerned as to who will actually play for the injured Nets as Irving is most likely out and Harden hasn't been the same and Durant is on another planet while playing at home. Here's a crazy stat, the Bucks are 31-15-1 ATS in the last 47 meetings but Brooklyn is 5-1 ATS at home. This line is just too inviting with all those home team stats so I must go the other way. Take MILWAUKEE! |
|||||||
06-19-21 | Phillies +107 v. Giants | 13-6 | Win | 107 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at San Francisco 4:05 ET Phillies over Giants- This is another contest where the line doesn't reflect the true advantage that the Giants have here. San Francisco who has the best record in baseball is 23-9 at home while the Phillies are 12-22 on the road and that should be a significant factor but is doesn't seem so today. San Francisco will start Alex Wood (6-3, 3.71 ERA) and he is 3-3 with a 3.36 ERA in 12 starts against the Wiz Kids. Philadelphia will send Arron Nola (5-4, 3.69) who is off 7.2 scoreless inning against the Yankees in his last start seems to have found his groove. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
06-19-21 | Marlins +107 v. Cubs | Top | 11-1 | Win | 107 | 6 h 17 m | Show |
Miami at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Marlins over Cubs- To start with this 'price' is way out of line when you consider that Miami is 14-25 on the road while then Cubs are 24-11 at home. Chicago is a meager -120 and it really doesn't make much sense until you look and see what the starting pitchers have done lately. Cubs starter Jake Arrieta (5-7, 5.14 ERA) is slumping and is 0-3 with a 7.47 ERA in his last four starts but, he is 8-1 with a 3.64 ERA in 12 career starts against Miami. The Marlins just ended a 4-game losing streak and will send Pablo Lopez (2-4, 3.12) to the hill and he has pitched in hard luck so far this season but things turn for him here. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
06-19-21 | A's v. Yankees -120 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 5 h 0 m | Show | |
Oakland at New York Yankees 1:10 ET Yankees over A's- Streaks are the name of the game when it comes to baseball and the A's have plenty of them working for them. Oakland as won seven straight games and is 13-2 in their last 15 games and 19-9 on the road and are 8-0-1 in nine road series. New York has been struggling to keep their head above water as they are 17-17 at home and have dropped five straight as host and are 3-8 in their last 11 games at Yankee Stadium. The A's will start Chris Bassitt (7-2, 3.43 ERA) and he has won his last seven decisions. Domingo German (4-4, 3.88) will start for the Yanks and he has been hit hard in his last two outings which were not domestic issues. The Bronx Bombers are 5-2 against the A's at home in the last seven meetings. In a shocker...take the YANKEES! |
|||||||
06-18-21 | Rays v. Mariners +102 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 102 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Seattle 10:10 ET Mariners over Rays- Michael Wacha (1-1, 4.54 ERA) gets the nod for Tampa Bay and he hasn't been shown anything in his past six MLB appearances. He has managed to throw three innings only once in his last six starts and is averaging just 2.1 innings and 32 pitches per start. Seattle will send lefty Yusei Kikuchi (3-3, 3.67) to the mound and he is off a 7-inning shutout of Cleveland and he has allowed just 54 hits in 74 innings with 75 strike outs. The Rays are 6-15 in the last 21 meetings against the Mariners including just 3-10 at Seattle. Take the MARINERS! |

06-18-21 | Jazz v. Clippers +2 | Top | 119-131 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show |
Utah at L.A. Clippers 10:10 ET Clippers (+) over Jazz- Utah the No. 1 seed in the West grabbed a 2-0 series lead with a pair of wins at home but now have dropped three straight for the first time this season and are on the brink of elimination against a wounded but 'game' opponent on the Clippers. Los Angeles will be without two-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and Serge Ibaka who is out of the playoffs because of back surgery. Utah's Donovan Mitchell says that his sore right ankle that keep him out for 18 games has worsened during this series. Utah is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 at LA against the Clippers and are 4-0 ATS as road favorites while the Clips are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games...Take the CLIPPERS! |
|||||||
06-18-21 | Phillies +115 v. Giants | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at San Francisco 9:45 ET Phillies over Giants- San Francisco has the best record in all of baseball and I'm still trying to figure out how they are doing it. The Giants who just took four straight from Arizona and will send veteran righty Johnny Cueto (4-3, 4.00 ERA) to the bump and he is just 1-5 with a 5.30 ERA in 12 starts lifetime against the Phillies with his lone win coming 11 years ago. Philadelphia will start Vince Velasquez (2-1, 4.25) who has recorded 57 K's in 48.2 innings and has allowed just 40 hits. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
06-18-21 | White Sox v. Astros +101 | 1-2 | Win | 101 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Chicago White Sox at Houston 8:10 ET Astros over White Sox- 'Chicks dig the long ball'...so it is said so the Astros must be having orgies of late as they have hit nine home runs in their last two games while Jose Altuve has hit eight homers in his the last 10 games. Chicago will send Carlos (No-Hit) Rodon (6-2, 1.89 ERA) out to the mound to try and curb Houston's offensive onslaught. Since winning his first five starts of the season Rodon is 1-2 in his last six starts. The Astros will start Luis Garcia (5-4, 2.98) who had his five-game winning streak ended last time out by Minnesota but he has been outstanding striking out 72 in 63.1 innings while allowing just 46 hits. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
06-17-21 | Nets v. Bucks -5.5 | Top | 89-104 | Win | 100 | 12 h 21 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Milwaukee 8:30 ET Bucks (-) over Nets- My first impression of Game 6 is that the oddsmaker is giving Milwaukee plenty of room to win and not 'cover' in this the highest point-spread in this series. This is what bothers me, yes I understand Irving is out but Harden is back and even at 80% he's good enough to be an asset and this 'price' makes me think the Bucks are more than likely going to run away from the Nets here. The 'number' is just too inviting and Brooklyn is 3-7 ATS as playoff dogs and 0-4 ATS in their last four games when underdogs. Take MILWAUKEE! |
|||||||
06-17-21 | White Sox v. Astros -127 | Top | 2-10 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show |
Chicago White Sox at Houston 8:10 ET Astros over White Sox- Not a bad pitching matchup between a pair of clubs that will meet sometime day the road when they are in the playoffs. Chicago is sending Dylan Cease (5-2, 3.38 ERA) to the hill against Houston's Jose Urquidy (4-3, 3.77) and both have been impressive at times. Both of them have allowed 10 less hits than innings pitched and their K-to-BB ratio is 55-11 for Jose and 83-22 for Dylan. Astros tough at home against right-handers going 81-38 last 119 and are 6-2 against the white Sox. Take HOUSTON! |

06-17-21 | Cubs v. Mets -130 | 2-0 | Loss | -130 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
Chicago Cubs at New York Mets 7:10 ET mets over Cubs- The Mets have managed to hang around and even lead the NL 'Least' although 17 different players have gone on the IL. Chicago will send veteran Kyle Hendrickson (8-4, 4.46 ERA) who has won his last five starts to the mound and New York will counter with their off-season acquisition Marcus Stroman (6-4, 2.32) who has been a reliable starter and he has won his last two starts surrendering just 1 one earned run in 13 innings with 15 strikeouts. Cubs just 3-8 in last 11 as road underdogs and the Mets are 11-1 in their last 12 as home favorites. Take NEW YORK METS! |

06-16-21 | Clippers +3 v. Jazz | Top | 119-111 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at Utah 10:00 ET Clippers (+) over Jazz- It's like they're playing with 'us' the way los Angeles hangs the fruit out to their opponents and then snatches it away before the befuddled pray. Aside from that this is a No. 1 seed at home with the line under a long range field goal and we aren't even in the conference finals yet. Just saying it looks way short to me and after a pair of blow out home wins the Clippers are really cocky and usually I don't favor that but LA is loving their role and brimming confidence. Meanwhile, the Jazz have to be shaken to their core as the were totally dominated in the last two and being the No. 1 seed brings a different pressure and attitude and their karma seems shot. The lone tells the tale...Take the L.A. CLIPPERS! |

06-16-21 | Twins -116 v. Mariners | Top | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 10 m | Show |
Minnesota at Seattle 10:10 ET Twins over Mariners- I know, I know, I heard ya but I've got to back this kid Bailey Ober (0-0, 4.85 ERA) who has 15 K's in 13 innings out of Triple-A where he struck-out 100 batters while walking just nine. Don't you want to root for this kid! Why else wound this broken down bum of a team be favored on the road. Seattle starter Justin Sheffield (5-5, 4.91) has struggled in his sophomore season as he has surrendered 69 hits in 58.2 innings (not too good). I'm taking the Twins and I understand your having reservations about but just think if the kids any good we'll ride him the rest of the season and maybe some will catch life...MINNESOTA. |

06-16-21 | Hawks +6.5 v. 76ers | 109-106 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Philadelphia 7:30 ET 76ers Hawks over This might be another sad ending for the 76ers as wear and tear is breaking down the centerpiece of the Philadelphia franchise Joel Emiid who gives so everything he's got every night he plays. The difference between his first two games and the last two has less to do with the games being on the road as it does that Embiid is laboring through it all like a true warrior. Ben Simmons is who is as he'll go 0-9 FT or 1-11 from the field. Hawks are hungry and can take this down to the wire with Embiid limping to the final horn. Take ATLANTA! |

06-15-21 | Angels +117 v. A's | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
AL Power Play L.A. Angels at Oakland 9:40 ET Angels over A's- Oakland is doing it again, winning that is as they are 10-2 in June including their current 4-game streak. Last night the A's were out-hit 14-9 but still managed an 8-5 win which ended L.A.'s six-game win streak. The Angles will start Andrew Heaney (4-3, 4.37 ERA) who has won his last three starts with an ERA of 2.41. Frankie Montas (6-6, 4.37) has lost four of his last five starts but is 2-1 with a 3.02 ERA in 10 appearances against the Angels. In a reversal of roles, we will take the ANGELS! |

06-15-21 | Bucks v. Nets +4.5 | Top | 108-114 | Win | 100 | 12 h 7 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Brooklyn 8:30 ET Nets (+) over Bucks- Confused? I am! When Brooklyn went up 2-0 I whispered 'The Bucks look so bad they might win the series' but, was I half joking or completely joking. Either way with Irving going down and Durant the last man standing among the Big-3 can the Nets regroup as a home underdog. Milwaukee is just punk enough to get beat or win under the number while they don't shoot well on the road and Durant had his two poor shooting nights in Milwaukee. Tough call but my gut says take the injured party...play BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
06-15-21 | Reds -106 v. Brewers | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Milwaukee 8:10 ET Reds over Brewers- I've got to say one thing about Cincinnati starter Luis Castillo (2-9, 6.47 ERA) and that is when he takes the mound he gets a decision. He had lost seven straight starts before defeating St. Louis and then was beaten last time out by these same Brewers while allowing just one hit in 5.2 innings. As a matter of fact he has allowed just four hits in his last 12 innings of work and the Reds have won six straight on the road. Milwaukee has the pitching but their lineup hasn't produced the runs needed and are just 3-7 when playing teams with winning records. Take CINCINNATI! |

06-15-21 | Rays +101 v. White Sox | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET Rays over White Sox- Tampa Bay ace and starter Tyler Glasnow was forced to leave Monday's contest after the fourth inning and manager David Cash does what he knows best and that is to use four relief pitchers to close out the White Sox 5-2 as Monday's Megabucks winner. Chicago had won four in-a-row prior to that loss and will start Dallas Keuchel (5-1, 4.14 ERA) who has struggled during his career against the Rays going 1-5 with a 4.78 ERA with just 35 K's in 49 innings. Tampa has won seven of their last eight and they always seem to be ready when playing better competition as their bullpen league the league with a 3.03 ERA. Take TAMPA BAY! |

06-14-21 | Rays -105 v. White Sox | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET Rays over White Sox- The AL's two best go head-to-head in Chicago where Tampa Bay will be entertained by the White Sox. The Rays have played one more game a win that makes 42 while the White Sox have 41 wins and both have lost 24, so for this game to be a Pick'em is fair enough. Chicago is an AL best 25-10 at home and will send Lance Lynn (7-1, 1.37 ERA) to the mound and he'll be opposed by the Rays might-righty Tyler Glasnow (5-2, 2.57) who starts for the best road team in the league at 23-10. TB 10-2 in their last 12 against teams with winning records and they are 5-1 in their last six games in Chicago. Tough to go against Lynn but it's...TAMPA BAY! |

Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over 76ers- The Hawks were flying high after running past the Knicks and jumping out to a huge early lead in Game 1 at Philadelphia posting an easy win. Well, nothing has come easy since the third quarter of Game 1 as the 76ers have decided to play like men and Atlanta hasn't been up to the task. The Sixers broke the Hawks 13-game home winning streak and now it's time for the Hawks to re-establish the home court swagger and they are good enough to show it. Take ATLANTA! |

06-13-21 | Suns v. Nuggets +3.5 | 125-118 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Denver 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Suns- Considering the history between these two clubs I'm a bit surprised that Phoenix has dominated this series as much as they have. Denver who is 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings including 7-3 ATS at home against the Suns hasn't been able to get their offense going and have lost the three games in this series by -16, -19 and -11 points against the 'number. After averaging 115.1 points for the season the Nuggets are scoring just 102.3 points per game against Phoenix. That has to change for one night...tonight. Take DENVER! |

St. Louis at Chicago Cubs 7:08 ET Cardinals over Cubs- 'We' will need a total lay-down out of the Cubs if St. Louis is to have a chance here. The Cardinals will start Carlos Martinez (3-6, 6.21 ERA) who has been atrocious his last two outing surrendering 15 runs in just 4.2 innings. Chicago will go with Zach Davies (3-3, 4.45) who is off six shutout innings against the Pirates on Tuesday. He is 2-3 lifetime against the Red Birds and will struggle here as four Cardinal starters have lifetime averages over .300 against Davies. Take ST. LOUIS! |

Brooklyn at Milwaukee 3:00 ET Bucks (+) over Nets- There is 1:20 left in Game 3 with the Nets holding a 3-point lead after a Kevin Durant bomb and I'm thinking same old story with Milwaukee. Here they've blown a 21-point lead and they about to go down 0-3 and then the 'phone rang!' The Bucks come-back win was due largely because neither Durant nor Irving saw the ball again as Bruce Brown took over for the Nets and missed three shots and the beat-goes-on. There is no question Brooklyn is the superior team but maybe the 'Greek' can make a 3-pointer or two because he has no chance at the Free Throw line. Still, 'Karma' is a freaky thing and right now it sits with the Bucks. Take MILWAUKEE! |

AL Power Play Houston at Minnesota 2:10 ET Twins over Astros- Houston has the number 1 ranked offense in MLB in four of five categories including batting average, runs OPS and least strikeouts. They lead in most columns except home runs where they are 13th at 1.23 per game. Minnesota ranked No. 3 in home runs but their front line pitching has them near the bottom surrendering 5.41 runs per game. Framber Valdez (2-0, 1.47 ERA) makes his fourth start for the Astros and he has allowed just one run in each of his starts keeping opponents to a .253 OBP. The Twins will send Michael Pineda (3-3, 3.46) to the hill and he has struggled his last two starts and they have lost four of his last five starts. Surprise take MINNESOTA! |

New York Yankees at Philadelphia 1:00 ET Phillies over Yankees- Philadelphia came up with another 'walk-off' win yesterday as the Yankees defense let them down once again when it counted. Philly will start Aaron Nola (4-4, 4.06 ERA) who is making his 14th start of the season and his second career start against New York and in his only appearance against them he last six inning giving up one run on three hits last season. The Yankees will start Domingo 'wife-beater' German (4-3, 3.12) who has allowed three runs or fewer in nine consecutive starts but has no record against the Phils. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Utah at L.A. Clippers 8:30 ET Clippers (-) over Jazz- We have seen this scenario before and the question is...will we see the same result? The Clippers are once again down 0-2 in a Best-of-7 series having dropped a pair in Utah, with the difference being that this time they at least return home down 0-2 for a Game 3. In their series against Dallas they had to deal with Luca Doncic and things haven't gotten any easier as Donovan Mitchell is averaging 41 points in the series with six 3-pointers in each game. The Jazz have always given the Clips fits as they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 visits to LA and 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. But, even the Clippers don't believe that they can come back if the fall down 0-3. So, they win, but by how many...is this like the Bucks win, a non-cover or a trouncing, but it's true is Utah is a better team but they fall short here. Take CLIPPERS! |

Houston at Minnesota 7:10 ET Twins over Astros- One of the most disappointing MLB clubs this season has to be the Twins who are currently 13-games under 500 and are just 13-20 at home. Today they will host the best offensive team in baseball as the Astros lead the Majors in batting, runs, OPS and fewest strikeouts. Minnesota who has had a power failure this season after leading the AL in homers last season is 29th of 30 in pitching runs allowed, home runs allowed 27th and 29th in opponents OPS. The Twins lone bright spot in their rotation has been Jose Barrios (6-2, 3.58 ERA) who has won his last four decisions and has allowed just 59 hits in 70.1 innings of work. Take MINNESOTA! |

Toronto at Boston 4:10 ET Red Sox over Blue Jays- The Red Sox have to be one of the biggest surprises in the AL as they enter this fray 14-games over 500 as they produce runs in bunches. Boston will start this year's best hurler in Nick Pivetta (6-1, 3.78 ERA) who is 3-0 at Fenway park this season while the Red Sox have won seven of their last nine. Toronto will send Steven Matz (6-3, 4.50) to the hill and the hard hitting Sox should have a field day against this left-handed impostor who is 0-1 with a 6.35 ERA against Boston. Take the RED SOX! |

San Diego will send Joe (No-hit) Musgrove (4-5, 2.33) who took a loss against the Mets last Saturday to the mound and he has been dominate allowing only 42 hits in 66 innings work this season.

The series switches to Atlanta where the Hawks have won 13 straight since April 15 including six straight over the 76ers. The Sixers who have struggled on the road are 6-18-2 away from home against teams with winning records and are 7-15 ATS in the last 22 meetings overall while the hawks are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 home games.

Charlie Morton (5-2, 4.21 ERA) get the nod for the Braves and he is 7-4 with a 4.04 ERA in 14 career starts against Miami. Sandy Alcantara (3-5, 3.30) has no won/loss record against Atlanta but has a 2.88 ERA in four career starts.

L.A. Clippers at Utah 10:00 ET Clippers (+) over Jazz- The Clippers managed to blow a 13-point lead in Game 1 but still got the money as the points came into play. Donovan Mitchell was the key to the Utah come-from-behind win as he scored 32 of his 45 points in the second half. Los Angeles has always had problems against the Jazz as they are just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings and 8-21-1 ATS in the last 30 meetings in Utah.

It's seems a bit off that the Blue Jays are favored on the road against the AL Central Division leader although they play every game on the road they are 8-3 when not hosting.

Game 1 was never as close as the scored indicated and the Nets just won for fun as we would say. Milwaukee lost by 20-points four different times this season and they responded with a win by an average 18.8 points after each loss. Brooklyn is 2-7 ATS in their last nine playoff games and the Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last five as playoff favorites. Take MILWAUKEE! |

The Astros will start Zack Grienke (6-2, 3.38 ERA) who is off his best start of the season but is 2-5 with a 4.60 ERA against Boston including 0-2 at Fenway Park with a 9.64 ERA. The Red Sox will pitch Eduardo Rodriguez (5-4, 5.59) who is 1-3 with a 7.84 ERA against the Astros but is off his best against the Yankees. Take BOSTON! |

The fear here is that the Suns will will but catch their backers in the 'gaff' a win as a favorite without covering the number (like the Jazz last night). Hopefully Phoenix has broken through against Denver who they have struggled against through the years going 6-14 in the last 20 meetings. Take PHOENIX! |

Cleveland at St. Louis 8:15 ET Indians over Cardinals- Cleveland like most MLB clubs are searching for starting pitching and they have gone to their bullpen in hopes of filling the void. So, the Indians will start Jean Carlos Mejia (1-0, 0.00 ERA) who has yet to allow a run in eight innings work in five relief appearances surrendering just three hits. St. Louis will counter with veteran starter Adam Wainwright (3-5, 4.19) who has been banged around in his last two starts while the Red Birds are playing dead and have lost their last six games and are 4-7 in Wainwright's 11 starts this season. The Tribe have won 4-of-5 meetings in St. Louis and are 8-3 in their last 11 games as underdogs while the Cards are 3-10 against teams with winning records. Take CLEVELAND! |

They will start Brett Anderson (2-3, 4.42 ERA) who is 4-2 with a4.25 EAR in eight career starts against the Reds. Cincinnati will send Vladimir Gutierrez (1-1, 2.70) out to make his third start of the season.

San Francisco at Texas 2:05 ET Rangers over Giants- These two are mirror images of each other as the Giants are 16-games over the breakeven mark while Texas is 17-games under 500. San Francisco has to fill a spot in their rotation and will start Zack Littell (0-0, 1.65 ERA) and his mound opponent for the Rangers will be Kyle Gibson (4-0, 2.06) who has had nine quality starts. He is 3-0 with an ERA of 0.56 in five home starts this season. The Giants have won 8-of-10 overall while Texas has won just once in their last 10 games but post a victory here. Take TEXAS! |

Los Angeles Clippers at Utah 10:00 ET Clippers (+) over Jazz- I kind of like this side as the Clippers enter this series as the underdog up against Utah the No.1 seed. LA laid down the final weekend in order to face Dallas yes, but they also knew it would be Utah next. They got what the wanted and took the Mavericks down as the cream rose to the top and now they play a Utah team that has never been in this position as they were always positioned behind at least the Lakers and more. The Jazz had that incredible run that pushed them so far ahead they were just on cruise control the final eight weeks. There is one tiny little thing...the Clippers just get hammer by Utah year after year as they are not only 3-9 ATS in the last 11 meetings but in Utah they are 8-20-1 ATS in last 29 meetings in Salt Lake. Sooo, we DO have a chance! It's times like these I have to remember that 'the future doesn't equal the past' or something like that! Personally, I can say that I am 'playing' this game. Take the CLIPPERS! |

Houston sends left-hander Framber Valdez (1-0, 1.64 ERA) to the mound after he held Boston to one run and struck out 10 over seven innings in his second start of the season June 2. The Red Sox counter with southpaw Martin Perez (4-2, 3.09) and Perez is 4-1 with a 1.98 ERA in his past seven starts. He is 8-4 with a 2.46 ERA in 13 career starts against the Astros.

The Padres are floundering going 2-6 in their last 8 while Cubs had lost 3-straight to the Giants before Sunday's win. The Cubs are 21-8 versus lefties and that's what's starting for San Diego Ryan Weathers, (2-2, 2.06) he has been good, but it won't be enough here. Take THE CUBS! |

Denver at Phoenix 10:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Suns- The 'long guns' have made their mark early in the NBA playoffs as Devin Booker along with Trae Young are bombing away from ridiculous lengths and dominating the score board. Both clubs held service in their opening round matchups as the No. 2 seeded Suns upended the Lakers in five games and No. 3 Denver jettisoned upstart Portland in six games. The Nuggets seem like the most 'unlikely' side of the day as they enter the injured party with Jamal Murray sidelined. The Mile-High club has more playoff experience and are 12-51- ATS in their last 18 games as playoff underdogs. Although Phoenix took it outright to the Lakers from start to finish but, they have always struggled against the Nuggets. The Suns have gone 6-14 ATS in the last 20 meetings overall and 3-7 ATS at home. Take DENVER! |

A sweet spot to open you career on the road against the lifeless LA Angels who will start (are you ready) Dylan Bundy (0-6, 6.48 ERA) who has a12.34 ERA in last 15.1 innings in four starts. Now we know Bundy has been capable in the past but I expect his funk to continue. Take the ROYALS! |

Milwaukee at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Bucks (+) over Nets- In Game 1 James Harden went down 43-seconds into the game and Brooklyn rallied for a dominating 115-107 win that wasn't that close. Milwaukee has a string of playoff failures that look to continue but things were different in the past. After posting the best record in the East the past two seasons the Bucks were eliminated early in the playoffs as expectations and pressure was too much to endure. This year they coasted during the regular season and less is expected of them. Now, down 0-1 they know what has to be done and the oddsmaker likes their chances tonight. So do I! Take MILWAUKEE! |

Miami at Boston 5:10 ET Marlins over Red Sox- Miami has struggled away from friendly South Beach and is 13-21 on the road and they will face Boston's Nick Pivetta (6-1, 3.77 ERA) who is just 2-4 with a 5.36 ERA 11 career appearances against the Marlins. Miami will start Pablo Lopez (1-3, 2.82) who last time out had 9 K's in 4-innings of work while throwing 90 pitches. Boston should return home a bit overconfident sweeping the Yankees 3-0 in New York after having lost 11 straight over a two year span in the Bronx. After winning against the Yankees meeting the Marlins will be a big come-down for the Sox and they may be ripe for the plucking. The Marlins are a lot tougher than most realize and Lopez has been their best in the past. Take MIAMI |

New York Mets at San Diego 4:10 ET Padres over Mets- New York who leads the NL East and is just 13-18 on the road while San Diego is 20-11 playing at home, so the advantage seems obvious. The Mets will send Marcus Stroman (4-4, 2.64 ERA) to the hill and he is making his first start at Petco Park while the Padres will send out Chris Paddock (2-4, 4.24) who is 1-1 lifetime against the Mets. This is the first meeting between San Diego's Paddock and New York's Pete Alonzo since their dust-up confrontation two seasons ago. The Muts are 28th of 30 MLB teams in scoring while the Padres surrendered the fewest runs per start in baseball. Take SAN DIEGO! |

After winning 9-of-10 Chicago has dropped three straight to San Francisco as their pitching has faltered. It seems a bit odd that the Cubs be favored on the road in SF after losing three straight as the Giants are 18-8 at home. Hendricks is 4-0 with a 2.60 ERA in his last four starts while Cueto is 9-9 lifetime with a 3.41 ERA against the baby bears. Seems odd but take CHICAGO! |

Dallas at L.A. Clippers 3:30 ET Clippers over Mavericks- This 'price' seems a bit on the high side as both clubs have yet to 'cover' a spread at home as the visitor is 6-0 ATS and SU. I've always believe that in the end the 'cream' will rise to the top and today we will see if the Clippers are really the cream or just another season of sour milk. Okay, what this looks like is that two of the NBA's true superstars will battle in out once again with the loser being shown the door out of the playoffs. Dallas has won (ATS) their last four visits to LA but are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 overall as underdogs. Take CLIPPERS! |

Houston will send Luis Garcia (4-3, 2.89 ERA) to the bump and he has never faced the Blue Jays who will send Steven Matz (6-2, 4.22) to the mound and he is 1-0 against the Astros although it wasn't a strong performance.

Atlanta at Philadelphia 1:00 ET Hawks (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia's Joel Embiid status for this game is up in the air as suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee and his availability is in doubt. Even if he plays I question just how effective he will be. Embiid missed 21 of the 72 games played this season and the 76ers were 10-11 without him and won Game 5 against the Wizards in the playoffs. Atlanta like Philly need just five games to advance against New York and are playing their best basketball going 27-11 since Nate McMillan took over on March 1. Atlanta is 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings and they could take this outright on the floor. Take the high flying HAWKS! |

Milwaukee at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Bucks (+) over Nets- A great match-up of the two top scoring teams in the NBA with the Bucks the leader at 120.1 per contest and Brooklyn a tad behind averaging 118.6. In actuality the nets probably have more offensive potential as their number were accomplished with the Big-3 (Durant, Irving and Harden) playing only 11 game together. But, I seem to believe that after the way Milwaukee was jettisoned from the playoffs early the past two years that they are on a playoff mission this season. Although the Bucks are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs they are 16-4-1 ATS in their last 21 meetings in Brooklyn and the nets are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 as home favorites. Take no attention to any of that stuff. Just take MILWAUKEE! |

MLB Money Game Boston at New York Yankees 7:15 ET Yankees over Red Sox- The most historic rivalry in MLB history continues in New York where the Yankees will host their nemesis from Boston. The Red Sox who got off to a great start (after losing their opening three games at home against the Orioles) have one of the better balanced line up in the AL and will send lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (5-4, 5.64 ERA) to the mound. The Yankees will instruct Jameson Taillon (1-4, 5.10) to take the hill and he has not won since May 1 while Rodriguez has lost his last four starts. Take NEW YORK! |

Cleveland at Baltimore 4:05 ET Orioles over Indians- This one sets up as a pitching duel between respective aces between a pair of also-rans. Cleveland will send Aaron Civale (7-2 3.28 ERA) out to pitch against Baltimore's John (No-hit) Means (4-1, 2.05) who was tagged with his first loss of the season his last time out against the White Sox as the Orioles have lost his last four starts. The numbers and trends are not favorable for Baltimore as they are coming off a 14-game losing streak and that will skew the results (although they are part of the overall trends for sure).

Houston is 5-1 in their last six games after losing six of seven while the Blue Jays are 6-3 after having lost six straight. Toronto is playing just their fourth game at Sahlen Field in Buffalo after going 10-11 in their first 21 home games in Dunedin, Florida. Toronto (?) will start Ross Stripling (1-3, 5.11 ERA) while the Astros will start Jose Urquidy (4-2, 3.02) and I believe that Houston has a huge advantage on the mound and are 6-2 versus the Jays on the road.

Limited by a neck strain Doncic had 42 points and 14 assists last time out and the Clippers can not find a way to slow him down. Dallas has won four of the last five meetings and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs. The Clippers are 2-6 in their last eight road games and 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take DALLAS! |

After a rainout on Wednesday and Thursday off the Phillies have had three full days to pat themselves on the back. Prior to that outburst Philadelphia had gone six games scoring a total 12 runs losing 5-of-6. Tonight, they will start their ace Zack Wheeler (4-2, 2.52 ERA) who is 6-1 with a 4.45 ERA in 21 starts lifetime against the Nationals. Washington will start Max Scherzer (4-4, 2.34) and he has dominated the Phillies going 11-4 with a 2.70 ERA in 21 starts including 5-1 at Philly. Take WASHINGTON! |

AL Money Game Cleveland at Baltimore 7:05 ET Orioles over Indians- A couple of 'newbies' will be making starts in this matchup of also-rans. The Orioles who had lost 14 straight games have now won their past two and will be sending rookie left-hander Keegan Akin (0-0, 4.80 ERA) who will be making his second career start. Cleveland send Jean Carlos Mejis (1-0, 0.00) to the Bump for his first career start after four relief appearances. The Indians are 2-10 in their last 12 games against the AL East and fall once again here. Take BALTIMORE! |

NL Power Play Miami at Pittsburgh 7:05 ET Pirates over Marlins- Both these clubs are where they are expected to be each having lost seven of their last 10 games overall. Pittsburgh will start Mitch Keller (3-6, 6.54 ERA) and he has lost three of his last four starts and he will be up against his mound opponent for Miami Cody Poteet (2-1, 2.95). The Marlins have lost their last six overall and are 3-8 against the Pirates in their last 11 meetings. Take PITTSBURGH! |

Phoenix at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Lakers over Suns- For any of 'us' that saw the last meeting between these two the Suns 115-85 rout in Game 5 over the Lakers when they had a 30-point half-time lead (66-36) and trailed by as many as 36 points. It was so bad a defeat LeBron James left for the locker room with more than five-minutes remaining. Playing without the injured Anthony Davis (so what's new) Los Angeles had no answer for the hot shooting Suns. Granted Phoenix looks much the best here but when a team losing like the Lakers I see a huge effort tonight and a win or they are gone. Suns 1-4 ATS as underdogs and 1-4-1 ATS in their last six road games. Take LOS ANGELES! |

Chicago Cubs at San Francisco 9:45 ET Cubs over Giants- A pair of hot clubs and Division leaders meet in San Francisco with the Giants winners in 6-of-8 and the Cubs who have won 9-of-10. Former Reds hurler Anthony DeSclafani (4-2, 3.56 ERA) gets the start for the home team and he is 4-3 with a 3.91 ERA in 12 starts against the Cubs surrendering 13 home runs. Zach Davies (2-2, 4.65) get the nod for Chicago and he is 1-2 against SF with a fine 2.10 ERA in six career starts. The Cubs are 4-0 in the last four meetings and the beat goes on...take the CUBS! |

06-03-21 | Reds +140 v. Cardinals | 4-2 | Win | 140 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at St. Louis 8:15 ET Reds over Cardinals- St. Louis returns home after a 10-game road trip going 5-5 closing with a 14-3 loss to the Dodgers yesterday. Adam Wainwright (3-4, 4.22 ERA) gets the start for the Red BirdS and it appears that his better days are behind him and he is 10-14 lifetime against Cincinnati. The Reds will send Vladimir Gutierrez (0-1, 1.80) who suffered a loss in his only start despite allowing just one run and two hits in five innings against the Cubs. St. Louis has had the best of Cincy in the 'Gateway' city but the Cardinals should be distracted with all the chores that built up while they were on the road. Take CINCINNATI! |

06-03-21 | Twins +107 v. Royals | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Kansas City 8:10 ET Twins over Royals- What has happened to the Minnesota Twins? I understand that it's a long season and we are barley 1/3 of the way through but they have shown little sign that they will be a contender as they are 11 games under .500 after 55 outings. Kansas City is a-game over at 27-26 after winning 11 of their last 17 games and will start Kris Bubic (1-0, 1.52 ERA) while the Twinkies will start another lefty J.A. Happ (3-2, 5.24) and he picked up a win over the Royals last Sunday allowing two runs on just three hits in five innings striking out five. Take MINNESOTA! |

Atlanta at New York 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Knicks- After winning the opening game of this series with Atlanta I have stubbed my toe since and this one 'kills' me personally as the Knicks seem to have lost their confidence and it has a lot to do with Julius Randle's struggles which are being cause by the hounding dog-it Hawks defense. It seems New York coach Tom Thibodeau knows this team over-achieved this season and can't find the answers. A handicapper I respect told me you have to 'take the Knicks because you can only lose once' and I responded 'I would rather WIN'! It pains me but...take ATLANTA! |

06-02-21 | Rays v. Yankees -127 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at New York Yankees 7:05 ET Yankees over Rays- I have little doubt in my mind that the rays are a better balanced team and more equipped to win than are the Yankees but New York has shown signs of life against Tampa Bay in the more recent meetings. The Rays started the season series winning 4-of-5 meetings but the Yanks have won 3-of-5 since. Tampa has won 16 of their last 18 games with both losses coming against the Yankees. Look for more of the same...take NEW YORK! |

San Diego at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Cubs over Padres- The Cubs to the surprise of many are atop the NL Central and have won six straight series with their win over the Padres yesterday. San Diego has lost three straight for the first time since April 21 and also lost Fernando Tatis, Jr. who as injured Tuesday. The Pods will start Dinelson Lamet (1-0, 2.57 ERA) who is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA against the Bubs in just two appearances while Chicago will start Adbert Alzolay (3-4, 3.81) who has worked at least five innings in eight of his nine starts. The Cubs have won 11 of the last 16 meetings including 4-1 at Wrigley Field. As manger David Ross said 'we are playing our best baseball of the season' and I will back them here. Take CUBS! |

06-01-21 | Blazers +2 v. Nuggets | Top | 140-147 | Loss | -102 | 13 h 42 m | Show |
Portland at Denver 9:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Nuggets- This Best-of-7 series is tied at two wins apiece after Portland was able to get even at 2-2 after posting a 20-point home win last time out. Denver now has the home court advantage and yet the high seed is just a 1.5-point favorite at home. That sends a message to me that the Trailblazers are the play as they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games and 6-2 ATS as underdogs in their last eight in that role. They are also 6-2 ATS in their last eight meetings in Denver and I believe that they win this one easy...take PORTLAND! |

Boston at Houston 8:10 ET Red Sox over Astros- Houston is a half-game behind Oakland in the AL West but have a one-game lead in the loss column and will start rookie right-hander Luis Garcia (3-3, 2.93 ERA) on the mound and he is 3-0 with a 1.68 ERA in his last three starts with opponents batting average is .175. Boston will start Garrett Richards (4-3, 3.83) who suffered his first loss in five starts last time out but was 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA in his previous four starts. He has thrown at least five innings (a big deal now-a-days) in six straight starts. The Red Sox are 6-2 in their last eight games at Houston while the Astros who are 2-6 in their last eight games overall are 1-4 in their last five games as favorites. Take BOSTON! |

San Diego at Chicago Cubs 8:05 ET Cubs over Padres- Two of the hottest clubs in the NL face-off once again in Chicago where the Cubs who are 7-1 in their last eight games and 12-3 in their last 15 are up against the Padres who are 16-5 in their last 21 games. San Diego will send rookie left-hander Ryan Weathers (2-1, 1.31 ERA) to the hill against Chicago veteran Kyle Hendricks (5-4, 4.63) who has a 2.08 ERA in his last three starts and is 6-2 with a 2.68 ERA against San Diego holding their line-up to a .219 batting average.

Tampa Bay at Carolina 7:30 ET Hurricanes over Lightning- Carolina is a tough clubs that has played four straight overtime games with two of them stretching into double-overtime before falling in Game 1 to the Lightning. Tampa Bay is the defending NHL Champions and each team has scored 21 goals in nine tight matchups this season. The home team is 4-2 in the last six meetings and Carolina is 65-33 in their last 98 home games. Being down 0-1 in the Best-of-7 I look for the Hurricanes to rally here. Take CAROLINA! |

Philadelphia at Cincinnati 7:10 ET Phillies over Reds- Philadelphia is in the midst of a bad streak having lost 11 of their last 15 games including their last three. Cincinnati has the two top hitting leaders in the NL where only seven players are hitting .300 or better with Nick Castellos and Jesse Winkler leading the way. The Reds will start Sonny Gray (1-3, 3.40 ERA) who posted his first victory last time out against the Nationals throwing six shutout innings allowing just two hits. Philadelphia will start budding ace Aaron Nola (3-4, 3.72) who has lost his last three starts has no record against the Reds but his ERA over the past five season is 3.35. Although the Reds have had the best of the hillies at home in recent seasons it time for the Phillies to rise. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

The Jazz ended up shooting 38.9% as a team from 3-point range but ended up fourth in the league. Utah won Game 3 easily and are 26-12 ATS after an ATS win while Memphis is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 as underdogs including 5-1 ATS as home dogs. Take MEMPHIS! |

Tampa Bay at New York Yankees 1:05 ET Yankees over Rays- Talk about ships passing in the night as the Yankees were swept in Detroit for the first time in 21 years and have lost 5-of-6 while Tampa Bay is on a 15-1 tear. Tampa Bay swept the first series (3-0) in New York and are 8-1 in their last nine at Yankee Stadium and 6-3 on the year against New York. Rick Hill (3-2, 3.63 ERA) will start for the Rays and he is 3-2 with a 4.05 ERA in 13 appearances against the Yanks. The Bronx Bombers will send Jameson Taillon (1-3, 5.06) to the bump and he is 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA in a pair of starts against the Rays. I'm looking for the New York to regain some 'Yankee Pride' and win this one. Take NEW YORK! |

Tampa Bay at Carolina 5:00 ET Hurricanes over Lightning- Carolina is a tough clubs that has played four straight overtime games with two of them stretching into double-overtime. Tampa Bay are the defending NHL Champions and were outscored 18-17 in eight tight matchups this season and were out-pointed by the Hurricanes on the season. The home team is 4-1 in the last five meetings and Carolina is 65-32 in their last 97 home games. That's a big enough sample for me. Take CAROLINA! |

05-30-21 | Reds +108 v. Cubs | Top | 5-1 | Win | 108 | 6 h 32 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Reds over Cubs- Cincinnati who started the season as the hottest hitting team in MLB has fallen back of late losing 7-of-10 including their last two at Chicago to the Cubs. Tyler Mahle (3-2, 3.75 ERA) takes the hill for the Reds and he is off his best performance of the year out-dueling the Nationals Max Scherzer throwing 5+ innings allowing no runs and only three hits. Chicago will send out veteran Jake Arrieta (5-4, 4.37) who mis 7-3 lifetime against the Redlegs but one of those losses can April 30 when he was bombed for seven runs in 3.1 innings. The Cubs have won six straight and 10-2 in their last 12 home games. Still, with this price the Reds should prevail. Take CINCINNATI! |

05-30-21 | Knicks +5 v. Hawks | Top | 96-113 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 20 m | Show |
New York at Atlanta 1:00 ET Knicks (+) over Hawks- This series was set up as a match between a pair of scoring leaders in Atlanta's Trae Young and the Knicks Julius Randle. The face-off has been failure for Randle as he has gone from averaging 37.3 points against the Hawks to 14.7 points in this series and is shooting 24% in the playoffs and his assists are down from 6.7 to 3.3 per game. Atlanta is young (HA) and hungry as are the Knicks but have struggled against New York when playing as hosts. The Knicks are 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings including 18-7-1 ATS in Atlanta and they are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 road games and 9-3 ATS as road underdogs. Take NEW YORK! |

05-29-21 | Jazz v. Grizzlies +5.5 | Top | 121-111 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 15 m | Show |
Utah at Memphis 9:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Jazz- Okay, Utah's Donovan Mitchell has returned and made an impact in Game 2 of this series scoring 25 points including five long range shots which help the Jazz to even the series at 1-1. These two met once in Memphis this season and Utah won 111-107 as a 4.5-point favorite and were without Mitchell and now with him in the lineup they are only five-point favorites. Memphis is the ninth seed and the Jazz are No.1 and this line seems way short to me. Take the GRIZZLIES |

05-29-21 | Braves -150 v. Mets | 2-13 | Loss | -150 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Atlanta at New York Mets 7:15 ET Braves over Mets- I was a little taken back by the fact that the Braves opened such a strong favorite at Citi Field in New York. After all, the Mets just swept a double-header and are the NL East leaders having a 5-game lead in the loss column over Atlanta. The Braves will start Ian Anderson (4-1, 2.82 ERA) who is 0-1 against the Mets with one start last September and New York will start Taijuan Walker (3-1, 2.05) who has been outstanding but is making this start of the IL. It's ATLANTA! |

Money Game Philadelphia at Washington Wizards (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia's Joel Embidd says he love to play on the road as the trash talk gives him incentive and he's not lying as the 76ers were 20-16 SU on the road a huge improvement from their 2019-20 start of 2-11 SU. Washington host Philly one this season and were crushed 127-101 as they won all three regular season meetings to go with the two playoff games. That was the only cover at Washington for the Sixers in their last five games in DC. Russell Westbrook is questionable but the Wizards have played plenty of games with him or Beal sidelined. Wizards 6- ATS in last seven games as underdogs. Take WASHINGTON! |

05-29-21 | Nuggets +4.5 v. Blazers | 95-115 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
Denver at Portland 4:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Trailblazers- Denver has taken a 2-1 series lead after having dropped Game 1 in Portland and have done it without their leading scorer Jamal Murray who is out for the playoffs. The Blazers have done what was expected 'here' as we posted them to win game won and then reversed course a 'we' will maintain the course again. The Nuggets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings in Portland and are 6-2s-1 ATS as underdogs. Portland is just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games as home favorites and 7-24-1 ATS in their last 32 playoffs games when favored. Take DENVER! |

05-29-21 | Phillies +112 v. Rays | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
Power Play Philadelphia at Tampa Bay 1:10 ET Phillies over Rays- After a slow start Tampa Bay is playing their best ball of the season and have moved into first place in the AL East passing the Red Sox and Yankees by winning 13 of their last 14 games. The Rays will start Ryan Yarbrough (2-3, 4.27 ERA) who is 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA in two appearances against the Phillies. The Wiz-kids will send Zack Wheeler (4-2, 2.38) and he has one start against the Rays and is 0-1 with a 5.14 ERA. But, Philly has been made the favorite here and there must be a good reason. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Money Game L.A. Clippers at Dallas 9:30 ET Clips/Mavs (UNDER)- It's the old adage go 'be careful what you wish for.' The Clippers tanked their final two games (disgracefully) so that they could avoid playing the Lakers and draw the Mavericks. But, Dallas is a group of professionals that had their pride injured and responded with a pair of wins at Los Angeles and take a 2-0 advantage into Game 3. Instinct tells us that the desperate and favored Clippers will post a win here but I'm not so sure. What I am most confident in is that this game should stay under the total. LA is 7-1-2 Under is their last nine playoff games and the Under is good 5-1 in the last six meetings and here's the kicker, the Mavs are 21-5 Under when playing as underdogs and 15-7 Under at home. Play UNDER! |

05-28-21 | Nets v. Celtics +8 | Top | 119-125 | Win | 100 | 12 h 20 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Boston 8:30 ET Celtics (+) over Nets- This appears to be the biggest mismatch of the playoffs so far as Brooklyn is at full strength with their Big-3 of Durant, Irving and Harden. The Nets have been hit with one injury since the post season started as forward Jeff Green will be out the rest of this series. Boston's star Jayson Tatum is expected to play despite a swollen right eye injured by Durant in the third quarter in Game 2. This contest marks to return of Kyrie Irving to Boston and the fan reaction will not be pleasant. Look for the Celtics to squeeze out a win here and get the money. Take BOSTON! |

Power Play New York at Atlanta 7:00 ET Knicks (+) over Hawks- Atlanta has played to one of the biggest home court advantage in the NBA as they have won their last 11 SU as hosts and 19 of their last 21 home games. This game might actually come down to the head-to-head dealing between Atlanta's Trae Young's offense and the Knicks veteran Derrick Rose's defense because New York's lone All-star Julius Randle has struggled thus far this post season. I expect Randle to pick up his game tonight and for the Knicks defense to be the difference. Take NEW YORK! |

05-27-21 | Nuggets +4 v. Blazers | 120-115 | Win | 100 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
NBA Money Game Denver at Portland 10:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Trailblazers- Denver won the game that had to win after losing Game 1 they responded with a 128-109 victory that sent a message. The Nuggets are 10-4-1 ATS as playoff underdogs and look to take advantage of the Trailblazers poor playoff record as playoff favorites as they are 7-23-1 ATS in their last 31 contests. It's been a great season on and against the Blazers and I expect them to fall here. Take DENVER! |

05-27-21 | Suns v. Lakers -7 | 95-109 | Win | 100 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
Phoenix at L.A. Lakers 10:00 ET Lakers (-) over Suns- The question here is, are they back? After a disappointing Game 1 loss for the Lakers Anthony Davis was called out after his Game 1 performance and he responded like a true champion with 34 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks. His well balance all-round game was on display while Chris Paul once again disappeared when it counted most during the playoffs. Although Phoenix is 11-3 ATS after a SU loss and are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games as underdogs but they are 2-5 ATS in LA and the Lakers will have LeBron James at full strength. LA will have to play up as this is a tough 'number' to cover. Take the LAKERS! |

The fact is the Hurricanes are just better and have dominated the series between these two and are 20-8 in the last 28 head-to-head meetings. They are 38-18 as favorites and 20-6 in their last 26 playoff games as favorites. Take CAROLINA! |
