09-09-17 | Louisville -9.5 v. North Carolina | 47-35 | Win | 100 | 16 h 35 m | Show | |
My selection is on Louisville minus the points over North Carolina at 12 noon et on Saturday. The Cardinals may be a top-25 team but they didn’t necessarily look like it for much of last week’s narrow come-from-behind 35-28 win over Purdue. Now that Louisville got that uneven performance out of its system I look for it to push forward with a much better effort against North Carolina on Saturday. Much of the Cardinals struggles last week came in the first half, when they managed only a touchdown and a field goal. The second half was much more promising as they put 25 points on the board, scoring on offense and defense. Lamar Jackson was Lamar Jackson and he should thrive against a good but not great Tar Heels defense this week. But it’s the Cardinals defense that I’m really counting on to control proceedings against a UNC offense that is dealing with a lot of changes, most notably under center. This is a big game for UNC off the disappointing loss to Cal last week but I’m not convinced it will be able to pick itself up off the mat against an elite opponent. Take Louisville (10*). |

09-06-17 | Cubs v. Pirates +1.5 | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 23 h 49 m | Show | |
My selection is on Pittsburgh +1.5 runs over Chicago at 7:05 pm et on Wednesday. I'll back the Pirates with an insurance run as they host the Cubs on Wednesday night. Jose Quintana will take the ball for the Cubs. He's alternated good and shaky starts and checks in winless in his last three road starts. Note that Chicago is giving him just north of three runs per game when he takes the hill on the road. With the Cubbies having won his last start against these same Pirates by a 17-3 score, Pittsburgh will certainly have its sights set on earning a little revenge in this spot. Gerritt Cole wil take the ball for the Buccos. He has lasted at least six innings in 11 consecutive starts. Despite his personal 2-5 record at PNC Park, the Pirates have actually managed to go 7-6 when he takes the ball at home. I fully expect Cole to bounce back from an outing that saw him allow five earned runs over six innings at home against the Reds last week. Take Pittsburgh +1.5 (10*). |
|||||||
09-04-17 | Diamondbacks +1.5 v. Dodgers | 13-0 | Win | 100 | 24 h 39 m | Show | |
My selection is on Arizona +1.5 runs over Los Angeles at 8:10 pm et on Monday. We won with the D'Backs against Rich Hill and the Dodgers last week and I won't hesitate to go back to the well with an insurance run in my back pocket again in this spot. Arizona is scoring runs in bunches right now. The same can't be said for the suddenly struggling Dodgers. The D'Backs will hand the ball to Robbie Ray, who has become their ace this season. Ray checks in sporting a 6-1 record and a sparkling 1.49 ERA on the road this season. Arizona is outscoring the opposition by more than two runs per game with Ray on the hill on the road. Rich Hill will counter for Los Angeles. Despite his masterful outing in Pittsburgh two starts back, he hasn't exactly been rolling, having posted an ERA north of five over his last three trips to the hill. As good as the Dodgers have been this season, they've won just 12 of Hill's 20 starts this season. Take Arizona +1.5 (10*). |
|||||||
09-03-17 | Texas A&M v. UCLA -3 | 44-45 | Loss | -120 | 71 h 39 m | Show | |
My selection is on UCLA minus the points over Texas A&M at 7:30 pm et on Sunday. The Bruins season got derailed by an injury to QB Josh Rosen a year ago but he's back healthy to open the 2017 campaign, and I look for UCLA to come out and make a statement on Sunday. Meanwhile, Texas A&M hasn't covered a spread since last September - September 24th against Arkansas to be exact. This is by no means an easy spot for the Aggies to snap that ATS skid. Keep in mind, A&M defeated UCLA by a 31-24 score in overtime in last year's season opener. The Aggies were certainly fortunate to cover the five-point spread in that contest. But that was was played at College Station. Different venue, different story. Take UCLA (10*). |
|||||||
09-03-17 | Winnipeg +3 v. Saskatchewan | Top | 24-38 | Loss | -110 | 92 h 51 m | Show |
CFL Game of the Month. My selection is on Winnipeg plus the points over Saskatchewan at 4 pm et on Sunday. I really like the way this one sets up for the red hot Blue Bombers. Winnipeg is now 7-2 SU and ATS on the season after outlasting Montreal in overtime last time out. We cashed with the Bombers in that game and I won't hesitate to go back to the well in this spot. Yes, Saskatchewan has turned its campaign around, securing back-to-back wins over the Lions and Eskimos in the last two weeks. But let's face it, Edmonton handed that game to the Riders last week. The Eskimos were simply a no-show after suffering their first loss of the season the previous week (against the Bombers). I expect the Riders to face much more resistance in this matchup, noting that the Bombers have come away victorious in their last two trips to Saskatchewan. In fact, the Bombers haven't lost to the Riders since September of 2015. I can't help but feel the wrong team is favored in this matchup. Take Winnipeg (10*). |
|||||||
09-02-17 | Georgia Southern +34.5 v. Auburn | Top | 7-41 | Win | 100 | 70 h 20 m | Show |
CFB Underdog Game of the Week. My selection is on Georgia Southern plus the points over Auburn at 7:30 pm et on Saturday. Auburn has high hopes entering the 2017 season. The Tigers are nationally-ranked for a reason. But I'm not sure they'll be able to sniff out an ATS cover on Saturday as they lay a boatload of points against an upstart Georgia Southern squad. The Eagles are coming off a pretty bad season all things considered. After starting 3-0 they didn't win consecutive games the rest of the way, winning only twice from September 24th on. Keep in mind, this is a team that not only reached a Bowl game two years ago, but won it in convincing fashion. I'm confident we'll see a return to form from Georgia Southern this year. They don't strike me as a squad that's intimidated by the challenge of heading on the road against a name opponent. Note that the Eagles went away and lost by 11 at Georgia Tech and 10 at Mississippi last season. Obviously they face a tougher opponent here, but I'm comfortable backing them catching nearly five touchdowns. Auburn will look explosive at times but Georgia Southern will score enough to stay inside the lofty number. Take Georgia Southern (10*). |
|||||||
08-29-17 | Dodgers v. Diamondbacks +1.5 | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 25 h 20 m | Show | |
My selection is on Arizona +1.5 runs over Los Angeles at 9:40 pm et on Tuesday. I'll grab the insurance run with the D'Backs at home on Tuesday night. Rich Hill will take the ball for the Dodgers, who are coming off their first series loss in what seems like an eternity. Of course, Hill tossed nine no-hit innings but still came out on the losing end of a 1-0 decision in Pittsburgh last time out. I believe he falls back to Earth here, however. Note that prior to that gem, Hill had lasted at least six innings in only one of his previous four outings. The Dodgers are just 1-2 in Hill's three starts against the D'Backs since joining the club. Zack Godley will take the ball for the D'Backs. He has split two outings against the Dodgers this season with the loss coming by a narrow 1-0 margin. Note that Godley has held his own here at home, where he has posted a 3.22 ERA to go along with a 5-3 team record. In 13 nighttime starts this season, Godley has recorded a terrific 2.60 ERA. Take Arizona +1.5 runs (10*). |

08-26-17 | Bills +3.5 v. Ravens | Top | 9-13 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 19 m | Show |
NFLX AFC Game of the Year. My selection is on Buffalo plus the points over Baltimore at 7 pm et on Saturday. I'll grab the points with the Bills this week as they aim to secure their first victory of the preseason against the undefeated Ravens. Keep in mind, we won with the Ravens in last week's rout of the Dolphins. Buffalo held its own last week as it fell by just four points against an Eagles squad that has played pretty well so far in August. Meanwhile, the Ravens have drawn a favorable preseason schedule to this point. They're just looking to stay as healthy as they can with QB Joe Flacco still sidelined. It's not as if Baltimore has a ton of depth on offense. Last week the Ravens had a game gift-wrapped for them by the Dolphins. I don't expect victory to come as easy on Saturday. Take Buffalo (10*). |
|||||||
08-25-17 | Patriots -2.5 v. Lions | 30-28 | Loss | -113 | 31 h 37 m | Show | |
My selection is on New England minus the points over Detroit at 7 pm et on Friday. The Lions are off to a perfect 2-0 start to the preseason but they've faced a pretty soft schedule, going up against the Colts and Jets. They'll take a step up in class here as the Patriots should at least do some game-planning, and I'm confident we'll see New England ultimately pull away for its first victory of the preseason. The Pats looked pretty good in last week's narrow loss in Houston, putting 23 points on the board against a Texans squad that was going all out for the victory after getting crushed in its preseason opener. Meanwhile, we won with the Lions laying a handful of points, but that win didn't come easy as Detroit managed only 16 points in a victory over the lowly Jets. This should be an entertaining affair by exhibition standards. All things considered we're looking at a reasonable price to back the superior team. Take New England (10*). |
|||||||
08-24-17 | Winnipeg v. Montreal | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 23 h 55 m | Show | |
My selection is on Winnipeg over Montreal at 7:30 pm et on Thursday. The Blue Bombers are rolling right now, winners of four games in a row. I don't see the Alouettes standing in their way on Thursday night, even with home field advantage. Winnipeg has actually scored in incredible 33 points or more in six consecutive games. Meanwhile, the Als have managed only 27 points in their last two contests. They've yet to win consecutive games this season and while they're not aiming for back-to-back victories here, I still don't like the spot. After facing the Argos in each of the last two weeks, they're taking a considerable step up in class here. The Bombers certainly won't overlook the Als, and they've enjoyed considerable success in Montreal. That success continues on Thursday. Take Winnipeg (10*). |
|||||||
08-21-17 | Giants -1 v. Browns | 6-10 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 11 m | Show | |
My selection is on New York minus the points over Cleveland at 8 pm et on Monday. Pretty simple logic here as the Giants are coming off a loss to the Steelers in their preseason opener while the Browns outlasted the Saints last week. I'm confident we'll see the G-Men bounce back in this matchup. Remember, Cleveland went winless in last year's preseason while the Giants split their four contests. The Browns are trying to lay a solid foundation here in August after a disastrous 2016 campaign. My concern here this week is that they'll likely give Brock Osweiler a longer look under center, whereas last week it was DeShone Kizer seeing the bulk of the action, and he looked good while he was in there. I'm not sure that Osweiler will fare so well against the Giants. Take New York (10*). |
|||||||
08-19-17 | Jets v. Lions -5.5 | 6-16 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
My selection is on Detroit minus the points over New York at 7:30 pm et on Saturday. This is a high line for a preseason game but it's warranted in my opinion. The Jets got solid performances from their beleaguered quarterbacks last week but still managed to score just seven points in a win over the Titans. Now they hit the road to face a Lions squad that appeared to be in midseason form in a win over the Colts last week. Detroit has an excellent QB rotation and a potential preseason breakout star in WR Kenny Golladay. That should prove to be enough against the lowly Jets on Saturday. Take Detroit (10*). |
|||||||
08-18-17 | Vikings v. Seahawks -3.5 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 15 h 48 m | Show | |
My selection is on Seattle minus the points over Minnesota at 10 pm et on Friday. The Seahawks seem to have their swagger back based on what we saw in their preseason opener against the Chargers last week. Seattle put up a whopping 48 points in that victory and I expect to see some carry-over from that performance here. It's easy to like Seattle's preseason QB rotation with Russell Wilson followed by Trevone Boykin and Austin Davis. Against a Vikings squad that should be 'fat and happy' off a 17-10 road win in Buffalo last week, I'm confident the Seahawks will put forth a strong performance in front of their home crowd. Take Seattle (10*). |
|||||||
08-18-17 | Angels +1.5 v. Orioles | 7-9 | Loss | -160 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
My selection is on Los Angeles +1.5 runs over Baltimore at 7:05 pm et on Friday. I'll back the red hot Angels with an insurance run on Friday night. Andrew Heaney will get his first start of the season for Los Angeles. Returning following Tommy John surgery, Heaney is obviously a big question mark here. I do expect him to do enough to keep the Angels in the game for five innings or so, which is also Mike Scioscia will ask of him. In a rehab stint at Triple-A Salt Lake, Heaney posted a solid 3.12 ERA. Jeremy Hellickson will counter for Baltimore. He's been inconsistent since joining the Orioles, posting a 4.50 ERA. He has posted only three wins in eight starts in his career against the Angels. Take Los Angeles +1.5 (10*). |
|||||||
08-18-17 | Ottawa v. Hamilton +3.5 | Top | 37-18 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 13 m | Show |
CFL East Division Game of the Month. My selection is on Hamilton plus the points over Ottawa at 7:30 pm et on Friday. Let's try this again. We missed the mark with the Ti-Cats last week as they simply couldn't hang with the Blue Bombers, but as we saw last night, Winnipeg is quickly becoming one of the league's elite teams. While the Redblacks are the defending Grey Cup champions, they're by no means an elite squad this season. Frustration continues to mount following a tough 27-20 home loss to the Eskimos last week and I'm not even sure that a date with the lowly Ti-Cats can help the Redblacks cause this week. At 1-6-1 on the campaign, there's little reason for Ottawa to be laying more than field goal (at the time of posting) on the road against anyone. Maybe the Redblacks right the ship, but I believe this is the spot where the Ti-Cats finally find the win column. Take Hamilton (10*). |
|||||||
08-17-17 | Edmonton v. Winnipeg +1 | Top | 26-33 | Win | 100 | 23 h 26 m | Show |
CFL West Division Game of the Year. My selection is on Winnipeg plus the points over Edmonton at 8:30 pm et on Thursday. The Eskimos remain undefeated on the season but after watching them narrowly escape with a win in Ottawa last week, I'm not so sure they're playing their best football this season. Playing their second of back-to-back road games for the first time this season, I look for them to suffer their first defeat of the campaign in Winnipeg on Thursday night. The Blue Bombers are coming off a blowout win over a desperate Ti-Cats squad in Hamilton last week. They've now won three games in a row, scoring at least 33 points in each of their last five games. This is a team that is brimming with confidence and seems to be getting stronger with each passing week. The Eskimos may own the better overall record, but the Bombers have been the far better bet, going 5-2 ATS. Take Winnipeg (10*). |
|||||||
08-17-17 | Bucs -1 v. Jaguars | Top | 12-8 | Win | 100 | 24 h 31 m | Show |
My selection is on Tampa Bay minus the points over Jacksonville at 8 pm et on Thursday. The Jaguars pulled off an "upset" of the Patriots last week in Foxborough. But are there really any "upsets" in the preseason? In short, no. Here, I look for the Jags to regress and fall to the Bucs on Thursday night. The Bucs came out flat in a 23-12 loss to the Bengals last week but that should serve as ample motivation as they head to Jacksonville this week. The Jags offense had looked very limited over the course of training camp, and don't let their 31-point outburst last week fool you. The Jags threw the football only 18 times. RB Corey Grant ran for a whopping 120 yards in that game. Don't count on a repeat performance here. Meanwhile, the Bucs used four QB's and threw the football 40 times last week. They may scale things back in that regard and run the football a little bit more in this one, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. There's a reason we've seen the line shift in the Bucs favor here. Take Tampa Bay (10*). |
|||||||
08-17-17 | Bills v. Eagles -4.5 | 16-20 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 16 m | Show | |
My selection is on Philadelphia minus the points over Buffalo at 7 pm et on Thursday. I'll lay the points with the Eagles on Thursday night. Note that the SU winner has gone a perfect 18-0 ATS in the Bills last 18 preseason games. In fading the Bills last week against the Vikings I talked about how Buffalo could turn out to be the weakest team in the AFC East this year, even though most have that spot reserved for the lowly Jets. I simply feel the Bills are a bit of a mess, perhaps even moreso after dealing WR Sammy Watkins and getting an injured Jordan Matthews in return. Things wont' get any easier for Buffalo here as the Eagles are coming off an ugly loss in Green Bay last week and should be highly-motivated to respond in front of the home faithful. Philadelphia has a lot to prove after collapsing down the stretch last year. We're being asked to lay a considerable pointspread here considering this is the preseason. I do believe the line is warranted. Take Philadelphia (10*). |
|||||||
08-17-17 | Ravens +3 v. Dolphins | 31-7 | Win | 100 | 22 h 6 m | Show | |
My selection is on Baltimore plus the points over Miami at 7 pm et on Thursday. We missed the mark fading the Dolphins last week as they rallied from a 20-10 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons at home. I don't expect them to post a second consecutive win on Thursday night, however. The Ravens had no trouble getting past a lifeless Redskins squad last week. While they'll face a tougher challenge here, I expect to see Baltimore put forth another strong performance. Note that the Ravens have now gone a perfect 5-0 SU in preseason action since last year. With Joe Flacco dealing with an injury the coaching staff needs to see what they have at quarterback. Josh Woodrum out of Liberty was terrific last week, and I believe he'll continue to push backup Ryan Mallett this Thursday. The Ravens may have their issues once the regular season gets going, but for the preseason, they're a solid bet thanks to their reasonably strong depth. Just not sure the line is warranted in favor of the Dolphins here. Take Baltimore (10*). |
|||||||
08-13-17 | Pirates +1.5 v. Blue Jays | 1-7 | Loss | -170 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
My selection is on Pittsburgh +1.5 runs over Toronto at 1:05 pm et on Sunday. The Blue Jays bounced back from a series opening loss with a blowout win at home against the Pirates yesterday. I look for Pittsburgh to answer back on Sunday, however. Chad Kuhl will take the ball for Pittsburgh. He's been quietly effective lately, working at least six innings in three of his last four starts, giving up only three earned runs over his last two outings, spanning 13 innings of work. Jays starter J.A. Happ hasn't pitched all that poorly at home this season, but has little to show for it, having posted a 2-5 record. He's capable of keeping the Pirates bats at bay on Sunday afternoon but I'm not sure the Jays offense will do enough to win this one, let alone win by margin. Take Pittsburgh +1.5 (10*). |
|||||||
08-12-17 | Winnipeg v. Hamilton +2.5 | Top | 39-12 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 38 m | Show |
CFL Non-Division Game of the Year. My selection is on Hamilton plus the points over Winnipeg at 7:30 pm et on Saturday. Winnipeg is coming off a thrilling 33-30 win in Ottawa last week but let's face it, that was no real accomplishment as the Redblacks have really struggled to close out games this season. The Bombers have now won back-to-back games, but I believe three wins in a row may be a bit of a stretch. The Ti-Cats have yet to record a victory this season but did bounce back nicely from a disastrous 60-1 loss to the Stampeders with a narrow 33-28 loss on the road against the undefeated Eskimos last week. That marked Hamilton's first ATS victory on the campaign. This will be the Ti-Cats first home game since July 20th and I'm confident they'll bring their best effort. While Winnipeg has won the last two games in this series I don't believe that is a sustainable trend. The Ti-Cats are desperate and they get their first win in this spot. Take Hamilton (10*). |
|||||||
08-10-17 | Vikings -1.5 v. Bills | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 22 h 7 m | Show | |
My selection is on Minnesota minus the points over Buffalo at 7 pm et on Thursday. While much has been made of the Jets as being the worst team in the AFC East and perhaps in the entire NFL, I feel the Bills could be in for a world of hurt this season as well. It goes without saying that I don't believe we'll see them firing on all cylinders in their preseason opener on Thursday night. Meanwhile, Minnesota went a perfect 4-0 in the preseason last year and once again has a lot to prove heading into the 2017 campaign, and also boasts considerable depth on both sides of the football. Even without Teddy Bridgewater at their disposal, the Vikes still have a respectable QB rotation with Sam Bradford Case Keenum and Taylor Heinicke. Take Minnesota (10*). |
|||||||
08-10-17 | Falcons -1 v. Dolphins | 20-23 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 59 m | Show | |
My selection is on Atlanta minus the points over Miami at 7 pm et on Thursday. The Dolphins seem as though they can do no right with Ryan Tannehill going down to injury making way for the signing of Jay Cutler. Cutler won't play in Thursday's preseason opener and I don't have high hopes for the Fins as they welcome the Falcons to Hard Rock Stadium. Atlanta went 3-1 in last year's preseason and will certainly come in hungry to wipe the sour taste out of its mouth following that devastating Super Bowl loss. Of course, a win here will do nothing to make amends for that monumental defeat. I simply feel that the Falcons have more talent across the board, including their QB rotation which includes veterans Matt Schaub and Matt Simms behind Matt Ryan. The Fins will give plenty of snaps to Matt Moore, but I don't believe that will be enough. Take Atlanta (10*). |
|||||||
08-07-17 | Padres +1.5 v. Reds | 3-11 | Loss | -170 | 21 h 3 m | Show | |
My selection is on San Diego +1.5 runs over Cincinnati at 7:10 pm et on Monday. Travel day on Monday. Full writeups will return on Tuesday. Padres starter Jhoulys Chacin has managed to post 11 victories despite pitching for a basement dweller. Having worked at least six innings in four of his last five starts I look for him to calm the Reds inconsistent bats on Monday. Take San Diego +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
08-01-17 | Blue Jays v. White Sox +1.5 | 8-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
My selection is on Chicago +1.5 runs over Toronto at 8:10 pm et on Tuesday. Tough spot for the Blue Jays to bounce back with a win, let alone cover the run-line here after blowing a late 6-0 lead last night. The Jays had staged their own unlikely come-from-behind win on Sunday afternoon against the Angels, but as has been a problem for much of the campaign, they weren't able to build on it in a winnable situation last night. While Toronto does have a decisive edge on the mound with Marcus Stroman facing Mike Pelfrey, I'm not sure it's enough to warrant the price here. We'll grab the insurance run with the White Sox. Take Chicago +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
07-28-17 | Cubs v. Brewers +1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 4 m | Show |
N.L. Central Game of the Year. My selection is on Milwaukee +1.5 runs over Chicago at 8:10 pm et on Friday. I'll grab the insurance run with the Brewers in the opener of their series with the Cubs on Friday night. Jose Quintana will get his third start for the Cubs since joining them earlier in the month. He has pitched exceptionally well, allowing only three earned runs in two starts, spanning 13 innings of work. With that being said, keep in mind, he's still just 6-8 on the campaign with an ERA north of four. Brent Suter has performed well since joining the Brewers rotation, allowing two earned runs or less in each of his last four starts. He's worked at least six innings in three of those four outings, never reaching the 100-pitch mark. After getting roughed up in a relief appearance against the Cubs back in April he'll certainly be motivated to pitch well on Friday night. Take Milwaukee +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
07-27-17 | Montreal v. Winnipeg -3 | 40-41 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 14 m | Show | |
My selection is on Winnipeg minus the points over Montreal at 8:30 pm et on Thursday. A big spot for the Blue Bombers here on Thursday night as they come off a narrow three-point loss in B.C. last week and look ahead at four of their next five games coming on the road. Winnipeg has alternated wins and losses so far this season but I've come away mostly impressed by their performance. While the Als will be hungry to get back in the win column following a loss in Ottawa last week, I'm not convinced their defense will hold up against a steadily improving Blue Bombers offense. Take Winnipeg (10*). |
|||||||
07-26-17 | A's +1.5 v. Blue Jays | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show | |
My selection is on Oakland +1.5 runs over Toronto at 7:05 pm et on Wednesday. Marco Estrada continues to carry a favorable reputation in the betting marketplace despite the fact that he's been terrible this season, going 4-7 with a 5.52 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. He's being priced as if he's in excellent form heading into tonight's start but that's simply not the case. He's failed to last five innings in a start in over a month, and has been tagged for a whopping 15 earned runs over his last three outings. Paul Blackburn will take the ball for Oakland. In limited work he has managed to keep his ERA under three, and checks in having worked at least six innings in three of his four starts since getting the call to the rotation. He labored through his last outing against the Mets in New York but I'm confident he'll bounce back against the uneven Jays. Take Oakland +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
07-24-17 | Ottawa +3.5 v. Toronto | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 23 h 47 m | Show | |
My selection is on Ottawa plus the points over Toronto at 7:30 pm et on Monday. I'll grab the points with the Redblacks as they shoot for their second victory in less than a week on Monday night in Toronto. You would have to go back to August of 2015 to find the last time the Argos defeated the Redblacks by more than a field goal at home. We saw Ottawa tighten things up considerably on defense against the Alouettes last Wednesday night, and I expect to see some carry-over from that performance here. This is a quick revenge spot after the Argos eked out a one-point win in Ottawa earlier this season. The fact is, the Argos haven't looked all that impressive save for their opener against the Ti-Cats. Take Ottawa (10*). |
|||||||
07-24-17 | A's +1.5 v. Blue Jays | 2-4 | Loss | -153 | 23 h 31 m | Show | |
My selection is on Oakland +1.5 runs over Toronto at 7:05 pm et on Monday. I don't believe there's any reason to think the Blue Jays will bounce back with a return home on Monday night. Toronto is reeling and has little to get excited about with the trade deadline looming, and it being clearly in sell mode. Francisco Liriano will take the ball on Monday. He checks in 4-2 at home but has posted a less than impressive 4.60 ERA. Note that despite his 6-2 team record at home, the Jays have only outscored the opposition by 0.75 runs per contest with Liriano on the hill. Chris Smith will counter for the A's. He's pitched only 13 innings at the big league level this season but he's pitched well, allowing only four earned runs on nine hits. The A's have split his two starts, with both of those being one run games. Take Oakland +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
07-21-17 | Winnipeg +4 v. BC | 42-45 | Win | 100 | 25 h 14 m | Show | |
My selection is on Winnipeg plus the points over B.C. at 10 pm et on Friday. The Lions are on a serious roll right now, fresh off three consecutive wins, on the road no less. I believe they'll be in tough as they return home to host the Blue Bombers on Friday, however. Winnipeg is coming off a 33-25 win over the Argos last week. There's still plenty of room for improvement, however, as the Bombers have been outgained in terms of total yardage in each of their last two games. I look for them to turn in a sharper effort, particularly on the defensive side of the football this week. Note that you only have to go back to October of last year to find the last time the Bombers won a game in Vancouver. Take Winnipeg (10*). |

07-21-17 | Rangers v. Rays +1.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
My selection is on Tampa Bay +1.5 runs over Texas at 7:10 pm et on Friday. I'll give the Rays another shot, plus the insurance run, as they host the struggling Rangers on Friday night. No real advantage on the hill here as Rays starter Alex Cobb has been terrific for much of the campaign. I do expect runs to come at a premium in this contest, but that lends itself to a run-line play on the underdog Rays. Tampa Bay couldn't close out a series sweep in Oakland but should still return home with plenty of confidence. Meanwhile, Texas just suffered a four-game sweep in Baltimore, allowing 34 runs in the process. Take Tampa Bay +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
07-19-17 | Montreal +5 v. Ottawa | 19-24 | Push | 0 | 23 h 29 m | Show | |
My selection is on Montreal plus the points over Ottawa at 7:30 pm et on Wednesday. I'll grab the points with the Alouettes in Ottawa on Wednesday night. I believe the best is still yet to come from the Als, even after a respectable 2-2 start to the campaign, including an impressive home win over the Stampeders last week. Meanwhile, the defending Grey Cup champion Redblacks are off to a winless 0-3-1 start. It hasn't been for lack of trying, as Ottawa has been outscored by just seven points total through four games. I'm just not sure the Redblacks have the running game or defense to be laying this many points in this division game. Note that Ottawa only defeated Montreal by more than five points once in three matchups last season. There was a greater disparity between those two squads as far as I'm concerned. Take Montreal (10*). |
|||||||
07-18-17 | Diamondbacks v. Reds +1.5 | 11-2 | Loss | -140 | 23 h 32 m | Show | |
My selection is on Cincinnati +1.5 runs over Arizona at 7:10 pm et on Tuesday. I'll grab the insurance run with the Reds at home against the D'Backs on Tuesday night. Robbie Ray will take the ball for Arizona. He's obviously been terrific this season, particularly on the road, where he has gone 4-1 with a 1.34 ERA and 0.99 WHIP. With that being said, the D'Backs have dropped his last two starts, and he's winless in two career outings against the Reds. Sal Romano will counter for Cincinnati. After struggling in his big league debut against the Brewers back in April he made his return last week and was effective in Colorado, going five solid innings at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The Reds ran into a red hot Nationals club and were swept in a four-game series that concluded yesterday. I do expect to see them battle back against the Snakes here. Take Cincinnati +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
07-16-17 | Rangers v. Royals +1.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
My selection is on Kansas City +1.5 runs over Texas at 2:15 pm et on Sunday. The Rangers got the better of the Royals in a pitcher's duel last night and I'm anticipating that runs will be at a premium again on Sunday afternoon. With that being said I'll grab the insurance run with the hometown Royals as the price warrants such a play. Ian Kennedy has been quietly effective for Kansas City lately, working at least six innings in three consecutive starts. Meanwhile Rangers starter Yu Darvish has been uneven over his last five starts or so and as well as he's pitched at times has only managed to post a 6-8 record. Take Kansas City +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
07-14-17 | Minnesota Lynx -6 v. Phoenix Mercury | 88-71 | Win | 100 | 26 h 33 m | Show | |
My selection is on Minnesota minus the points over Phoenix at 10 pm et on Friday. The Lynx know how to handle the duo of Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi. They've successfully done so before, and I'm confident they'll do it again on Friday night. Minnesota shouldn't lack focus in this one, not after suffering an ugly 100-76 loss as a 14.5-point favorite in Chicago last time out. That was the Lynx's first loss in eight games on the road this season. They've already managed to get by the Mercury on this floor by a 91-83 score earlier in the campaign. Phoenix checks in off of four consecutive wins. Keep in mind, the Mercury were favored in all four of those games. The last time they found themselves in an underdog role, they suffered that aforementioned home loss to the Lynx. Note that Phoenix is just 1-3 ATS as an underdog this season. Take Minnesota (10*). |
|||||||
07-12-17 | San Antonio Stars +9 v. Indiana Fever | 79-72 | Win | 100 | 16 h 39 m | Show | |
My selection is on San Antonio plus the points over Indiana at 12 noon et on Wednesday. The Stars are catching a boatload of points here but they're more than capable of hanging with the Fever as far as I'm concerned. Yes, San Antonio has struggled to find the win column this season, with just one to its credit. However, the Stars have managed to go a respectable 8-8-1 ATS overall and they've stayed within single digits on the road against the likes of Los Angeles and Minnesota - two of the league's best teams. Indiana has dropped two in a row and three of its last four games overall. The Fever are just 6-9-1 ATS this season. The road team has won three straight meetings in this series and the Stars are 4-1 ATS in the last five matchups. Take San Antonio (10*). |
|||||||
07-03-17 | Red Sox v. Rangers +1.5 | 7-5 | Loss | -140 | 13 h 46 m | Show | |
My selection is on Texas +1.5 runs over Boston at 8:05 pm et on Monday. We cashed in all thtee of the Red Sox victories over the Blue Jays on the weekend but I won't hesitate to switch gears on Monday as they head to Texas. Rick Porcello takes the ball for the Red Sox. He's had a tough time this season, not coming close to the highs he reached last year. Things won't get easier against a tough Rangers lineup on Monday. Martin Perez has been uneven to be sure but he's capable of stepping up and I'm confident he'll get some run support in this matchup. We'll grab the insurance run as the price warrants that play. Take Texas +1.5 (10*). |
|||||||
07-01-17 | Winnipeg -1 v. Saskatchewan | Top | 43-40 | Win | 100 | 49 h 50 m | Show |
My selection is on Winnipeg minus the points over Saskatchewan at 9 pm et on Saturday. The Riders put forth a solid showing in their season debut last week, pushing the Alouettes to the limit in a game that came down to a last second missed field goal by Saskatchewan. Of course, the Riders have traditionally owned one of the strongest home field edges in the CFL and will open brand new Mosaic Field on Saturday night so emotions will be running high. With that being said, I believe things are going to get worse before they get better for the rebuilding Riders. While there is plenty of talent in place, I’m not sure they have the right mix and will suffer plenty of growing pains this season. The Blue Bombers will be eager to get started after sitting idle last week. With 10 of 12 starters on offense back in the fold, this group has the potential to put up some big numbers. There are some question marks on defense, but I’m not sure those issues will be brought to the forefront against the Riders on Saturday. While playing in Saskatchewan is always a challenge, the Bombers certainly won’t overlook the Riders in their season-opener. Take Winnipeg (10*). |
|||||||
06-30-17 | Montreal +9.5 v. Edmonton | 19-23 | Win | 100 | 26 h 43 m | Show | |
My selection is on Montreal plus the points over Edmonton at 10 pm et on Friday. We won with the Eskimos in their victory in B.C. last Saturday but that was in an underdog role. I won’t hesitate to switch gears and back the Alouettes as they travel to Edmonton to face the Eskimos this week. Montreal certainly wasn’t firing on all cylinders but still managed to eke out a win over the Roughriders in its home opener last week. Of course, an uneven performance was to be expected from an Als squad that has seen a lot of turnover since last season. QB Darian Durant wasn’t in sync with his new receiving corps for four quarters but did enough to guide his team to a much-needed victory over a beatable opponent. He’ll need to be sharper if the Als are going to contend with one of the league’s best teams in Edmonton on Friday, but I believe he’ll be up to the task. The Eskimos lost one of their best players to injury in J.C. Sherritt last week, an injury that I don’t believe is being properly reflected in this line. Edmonton may win this game, but I’m not sure its victory will come by a lopsided margin. Take Montreal (10*). |
|||||||
06-30-17 | Red Sox +1.5 v. Blue Jays | Top | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 23 h 48 m | Show |
MLB RL Game of the Month. My selection is on Boston +1.5 runs over Toronto at 7:05 pm et on Friday. I believe the case can be made for the wrong team being favored in this A.L. East showdown on Friday night. With that being said, I'll grab the insurance run at a bargain price with the Red Sox. Doug Fister will make his second start of the season for Boston. While he took the loss, he was effective in his first outing, giving up three earned runs over six innings against the Angels. I expect to see him build on that performance against an inconsistent Jays lineup here. Marco Estrada will counter for Toronto. He worked seven innings in his last start, the first time he had made it through six innings in five starts. Of course, he needed 117 pitches to get through those seven innings. The Jays have lost four of his last five outings and three in a row against the Red Sox. Take Boston +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
06-28-17 | Indiana Fever v. Chicago Sky +1.5 | 82-75 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 7 m | Show | |
My selection is on Chicago plus the points over Indiana at 12:30 pm et on Wednesday. Indiana just made the trip to Chicago last week and easily cruised past the Sky by a 91-79 score. I expect a different story to unfold on Wednesday, however. Indiana may own the superior record in this matchup but that's not really saying much as the Fever remain a below .500 team at 6-7 SU. They've gone just 5-7-1 ATS while the Sky check in at 6-7 ATS this season. The Sky were blown out in their last game, falling by 34 points at home against the Mystics. Keep in mind, just two games back they went on the road and defeated Atlanta. While Chicago checks in 0-6 SU at home this season, it is certainly a better team than that record shows. The Fever haven't won back-to-back games ATS in this series since back in September 2015. Take Chicago (10*). |
|||||||
06-25-17 | Hamilton -3.5 v. Toronto | 15-32 | Loss | -105 | 68 h 36 m | Show | |
My selection is on Hamilton minus the points over Toronto at 4 pm et on Sunday. I don't believe this line has been set nearly high enough in favor of the Tiger-Cats. Toronto remains in a state of transition. Last year, the Argos were supposed to get a boost from moving to BMO Field. It didn't exactly play out that way, however. Yes, the Argos still have a number of solid pieces in place, but they're not at the same level as the Ti-Cats, who remain a true Grey Cup contender. The Argos got the better of the Ti-Cats the last time these two teams met last September. Expect a different story to unfold in Toronto this time around. Take Hamilton (10*). |
|||||||
06-24-17 | Edmonton +4 v. BC | Top | 30-27 | Win | 100 | 50 h 39 m | Show |
CFL Game of the Week. My selection is on Edmonton plus the points over B.C. at 10 pm et on Saturday. I absolutely love the way this one sets up for the visiting Eskimos on Saturday night. I'm anticipating a back-and-forth affair all the way, and simply don't feel that the Lions are deserving of a favorite price tag north of a field goal. The Eskimos are of course led by one of the most dynamic playmakers in the CFL in QB Mike Reilly. In a game that oddsmakers are tabbing as a high-scoring shootout, Reilly is a guy I want in my corner. Don't sleep on an Eskimos receiving corps that is among the deepest in the league. The Lions enjoyed a breakout campaign from QB Jonathan Jennings last season, moving veteran Travis Lulay into a backup role. I won't be surprised if Lulay is pressed back into action as the starter at some point this season, however. The Lions are good. I'm just not sure they're great. Take Edmonton (10*). |
|||||||
06-22-17 | Saskatchewan v. Montreal -6.5 | 16-17 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 60 m | Show | |
My selection is on Montreal minus the points over Saskatchewan at 7:30 pm et on Thursday. Both of these teams have made wholesale changes entering the 2017 campaign but I believe it is the Alouettes that are better positioned to get off to a strong start on Thursday night. The Riders will turn to veteran Kevin Glenn under center after losing walking enigma Vince Young to a hamstring injury. Glenn is likely the better option but that's not saying much. Yes, the Riders have a lot of solid pieces in place to take a step forward this season, including WR Duron Carter but I'm not sure it comes together for them here, right out of the gate. The Als will have former Rider Darian Durant as the new face of the franchise and while he won't admit it, you can be sure he has an extra chip on his shoulder against his former squad. Take Montreal (10*). |
|||||||
06-21-17 | San Antonio Stars +7 v. Dallas Wings | 78-81 | Win | 100 | 16 h 26 m | Show | |
My selection is on San Antonio plus the points over Dallas at 1 pm et on Wednesday. The Stars remain winless on the season at 0-11 but I look for them to give the Wings a serious run on Wednesday afternoon in Dallas. San Antonio was crushed by Seattle last time out, dropping a 75-57 decision. Keep in mind, prior to that the Stars had dropped six straight games by single-digit margins. Their previous two losses were narrow ones, falling by an 85-81 score in overtime against Chicago and by five points in Los Angeles. Dallas is fresh off an outright underdog win over Washington which puts it in a tough spot ATS-wise on Wednesday afternoon. Note that Dallas is just 2-4 SU at home this season. Take San Antonio (10*). |
|||||||
06-15-17 | Mariners +1.5 v. Twins | 2-6 | Loss | -190 | 16 h 28 m | Show | |
My selection is on Seattle +1.5 runs over Minnesota at 1:10 pm et on Thursday. I'll lay the extra juice to get the insurance run with the Mariners in Minnesota on Thursday afternoon. Ariel Miranda will take the ball for Seattle. The left-hander remains an undervalued commodity and nothing changes after he came out on the losing end of a 4-2 decision against the Blue Jays last weekend. Miranda has allowed two earned runs or less in six straight games. After tossing a complete game victory against Tampa Bay two starts back he was sharp again versus the Blue Jays last time out, allowing two earned runs while needing 96 pitches to work into the seventh inning. Jose Berrios will counter for Minnesota. While he continues to pile up victories, he has been laboring lately, needing 97 pitches to get through only 5 1/3 innings last time out. He hasn't lasted beyond the sixth inning in any of his last three starts, but needed at least 103 pitches to get through two of those outings. Take Seattle +1.5 runs (8*). |
|||||||
06-14-17 | Yankees v. Angels +1.5 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 26 h 33 m | Show | |
My selection is on Los Angeles +1.5 runs over New York at 10:05 pm et on Wednesday. I'll grab the insurance run with the Angels on Wednesday night as they host the Yankees. Michael Pineda will take the ball for New York. We actually won with the Yanks in his most recent start - a decisive 9-1 win over the rival Red Sox. Keep in mind, Pineda needed 110 pitches to get through seven innings in that start. Just two starts back he gave up 10 hits and five earned runs over five innings in a 7-5 loss in Toronto. Matt Shoemaker will counter for the Angels. He's off to a strong 6-3 start this season and has at least worked into the seventh inning in four of his last five trips to the hill. Note that the Angels are a perfect 3-0 in Shoemaker's last three home outings. Take Los Angeles +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
06-07-17 | Warriors v. Cavs +4 | 118-113 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 38 m | Show | |
My selection is on Cleveland plus the points over Golden State at 9 pm et on Wednesday. I'll back the Cavs to avoid being pushed to the brink in this series on Wednesday night in Cleveland. I don't expect Cleveland to go away quietly in this series. Yes, the Warriors have looked dominant and downright unstoppable through the first two games of this series. They've now gone 3-1 SU and ATS in four meetings with the Cavs this season. I believe the biggest boost they received in Game 2 on Sunday night came from the return of Steve Kerr on the sidelines. Here, I expect to see the Cavs put forth their best effort of the series, otherwise they're all but done. This is a confident bunch, one that knows it can hang with the Warriors, even if it hasn't shown it through two games. The ATS winner generally wins SU in this matchup so it may not be a bad idea to back the Cavs on the moneyline here as well. Take Cleveland (10*). |
|||||||
06-04-17 | Cavs +9 v. Warriors | 113-132 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 43 m | Show | |
My selection is on Cleveland plus the points over Golden State at 8 pm et on Sunday. There are a lot of comparisons being made to last year's series between these two teams, which featured a number of blowout results, just as we saw in Game 1 of this series. I don't expect a repeat story to unfold, however, and I'm confident the Cavs can hang with the Warriors for four quarters, unlike we saw in the opener on Thursday. Cleveland did an awful job defensively in Game 1 but I am anticipating a much tougher effort from them here. We've seen them make adjustments and respond favorably following off nights defensively, albeit not against the level of competition they're facing here. The Cavs were able to do a lot of good things offensively in the opening quarter on Thursday before struggling the rest of the way. Again, I expect to see some adjustments and I anticipate a much stronger push back should this turn into an up and down affair. Take Cleveland (10*). |
|||||||
06-03-17 | Astros v. Rangers +1.5 | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 23 h 45 m | Show | |
My selection is on Texas +1.5 runs over Houston at 7:15 pm et on Saturday. The Rangers certainly aren't off to the start they were hoping for this season but they do have an opportunity to make a bit of a statement against the first place Astros this weekend. We won with Texas in Andrew Cashner's last outing, and I won't hesitate to go back to the well here. Cashner needed only 97 pitches to get through seven innings of one-run ball on the road against a hot Jays offense last Sunday. Texas has now won three of his last four trips to the hill. On the flip side, Astros ace Lance McCullers finally gave up an earned run last time out after tossing four consecutive scoreless outings. He needed 105 pitches to get through six innings against the Orioles in that most recent start. I simply feel that McCullers is overvalued in this spot and will grab the insurance run with the Rangers. Take Texas +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
06-01-17 | Yankees +1.5 v. Blue Jays | 12-2 | Win | 100 | 23 h 22 m | Show | |
My selection is on New York +1.5 runs over Toronto at 7:05 pm et on Thursday. We've cashed with an insurance run fading the Jays twice since Sunday, including yesterday with the Reds. I won't hesitate to go back to the well with the same play here as the Yankees open a series at Rogers Centre on Thursday night. The Yankees are of course playing excellent baseball and have been since day one this season. I'm not sure veteran left-hander CC Sabathia is getting enough credit. He's worked at least six innings in three of his last four outings and hasn't needed more than 96 pitches to get through a start since April 15th. That's telling in my opinion. New York will face a tough challenge against Marco Estrada here, but I'm confident the Yanks will be up for it. Estrada has pitched exceptionally well in his last two starts, but prior to that, he gave up five earned runs in two of three starts. Take New York +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
05-31-17 | Reds +1.5 v. Blue Jays | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 16 h 50 m | Show | |
My selection is on Cincinnati +1.5 runs over Toronto at 12:35 pm et on Wednesday. Much like we did on Sunday when we grabbed the insurance run with the Rangers in their outright win in Toronto, we'll back the Reds plus the extra run and a half on Wednesday afternoon at Rogers Centre. Tim Adleman will take the ball for Cincinnati off his best start of the young season. After laboring through back-to-back outings, Adleman responded in a big way last time out, giving up just one hit over eight scoreless frames in Philadelphia. He's in for a tough challenge against the surging Jays here, but I'm confident he'll keep his team in the game. Mike Bolsinger continues to struggled in a stopgap roll for the ailing Jays rotation. He has yet to last six innings this season and last time out needed 86 pitches to get through 4 2/3 innings before ultimately being bailed out by the Jays bats. I'm just not sure he'll be so fortunate this time around. Take Cincinnati +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
05-28-17 | Rangers +1.5 v. Blue Jays | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 16 h 21 m | Show | |
My selection is on Texas +1.5 runs over Toronto at 1:05 pm et on Sunday. I'll grab the insurance run with the Rangers in Toronto on Sunday afternoon. The Jays are rolling right now, winners of five games in a row. I believe they're overpriced in this spot, however. Andrew Cashner will take the ball for the Rangers. Cashner struggled in his last start, giving up five earned runs in five innings in Boston. Prior to that, he had allowed two earned runs or less in each of his previous six trips to the hill. Joe Biagini counters for Toronto. This will be his fifth start of the campaign and he's yet to last beyond the fifth inning. Biagini was fortunate to work himself out of trouble on a number of occasions last time out as he allowed five hits three earned runs over 4 1/3 innings of work in Milwaukee. He has only managed to post a 6:5 strikeout-to-walk ratio over his last two outings. Take Texas +1.5 runs (10*). |
|||||||
05-25-17 | Cavs -10 v. Celtics | 135-102 | Win | 100 | 24 h 57 m | Show | |
My selection is on Cleveland minus the points over Boston at 8:30 pm et on Thursday. We've certainly seen a shift in the line since the first two games of this series here in Boston but it's warranted. The Celtics shocked everyone by taking Game 3 of this series in Cleveland and gave the Cavs a good run for a half in Game 4 before running out of gas in the second half in a double-digit loss. I expect to see more of the same in what should be the final game of this series on Thursday night. I just don't see the Celtics shooting any better than they did in Game 4, and that only got them to 99 points. The Cavs could not be stopped offensively in that game, but I don't expect anything to change here. Lebron James responded in a big way as expected last time out after a no-show in the second half of Game 3. Expect plenty of carry-over from that performance on Thursday. Take Cleveland (10*). |
