05-21-23 | Orioles v. Blue Jays OVER 8.5 | Top | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
10* MLB TOTAL OF THE MONTH - ORIOLES/JAYS BEST BET The Orioles have scored six runs in each of the first two games of this series and they've averaged 5.40 runs per nine innings over their last five games. The Blue Jays bats have been cold, but they put up five runs yesterday and here they'll face Dean Kremer (5-1, 4.94 ERA) who has posted an ERA of 9.68 over 13 innings of work in his day starts this year. Kremer is 1-2 with an ERA of 6.21 in 6 starts versus the Blue Jays in his career. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

05-21-23 | Tigers v. Nationals -124 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER Washington right-hander Josiah Gray has an unimpressive 3-5 win/loss record despite a respectable ERA of 2.73. He should get a decent amount of run support here though as Detroit hands the ball to left-hander Joey Wentz (1-3, 6.38 ERA) who is 0-2 with a 9.19 ERA in his four day stay starts this year. Additionally, the Nats are batting .286 while averaging 4.94 runs per nine innings against southpaws. 8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON NATIONALS. |
|||||||
05-21-23 | Diamondbacks -120 v. Pirates | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE The D'Backs are heating up with six wins in their last eight games while the Pirates are trending in the opposite direction following a hot start to the season. Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly (4-3, 2.92 ERA) is 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA in his past four starts, and 2-0 with a 3.71 ERA in three career starts against the Pirates. Pittsburgh right-hander Roansy Contreras (3-4, 4.40) has lost three straight starts. 8* PLAY ON ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS. |
|||||||
05-20-23 | Nuggets +6 v. Lakers | Top | 119-108 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show |
10* NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S NUGGETS/LAKERS MAJOR WAGER Through the first two games of the series, I think the Nuggets have made it very clear that turn it up a notch and run away with the game whenever they feel like it. Here see more than a 10-point swing on the point spread compared to the two games in Denver, only because of the change of venue to LA which seems wild to me. Sure, Denver is a lot better at home than on the road, but note that the Nuggets are 6-2 ATS on the season when spotted five points or more on the road. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |
|||||||
05-20-23 | Dodgers +103 v. Cardinals | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 47 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY After a rocky start, Noah Syndergaard (1-3, 5.94 ERA) has started to find somewhat of a rhythm. He allowed three runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings when he took on the Cardinals at home on April 30, a game the Dodgers won 6-3. Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas (2-1, 4.91 ERA) has heated up and has posted an ERA of 2.81 over his last three starts, but at this price, I think the Dodgers are a no-brainer bet as I expect them to close as a bigger favorite. On the season, the Dodgers are 6-1 SU as a favorite of no more than -130. They are 15-4 SU as a favorite of no more than -150. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |
|||||||
05-19-23 | Heat +9 v. Celtics | 111-105 | Win | 100 | 12 h 27 m | Show | |
MIKE'S HEAT/CELTICS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Heat won the opener of this series as a hefty underdog, and now the betting market expects the top-seeded Celtics to snap back with a blowout win. I get the logic, and in most cases I would back Boston here, but as I said prior to Game 1, "Miami is not your typical No. 8 seed" and this is a lot of points for a Conference Finals matchup. The Heat are scrappy, they have decent depth, and Jimmy Butler is playing out of his mind. Additionally, the Heat are 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings in Boston. 8* PLAY ON MIAMI HEAT. |
|||||||
05-19-23 | Royals +118 v. White Sox | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 8 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER The White Sox have only two more wins than the Royals and they dropped all three games when they faced KC earlier this month. White Sox right-hander Michael Kopech (1-4, 5.74 ERA) is 0-1 with a 5.47 ERA through n 10 career appearances (four starts) against the Royals. KC veteran right-hander Zack Greinke (1-4, 5.01 ERA) is 10-10 with a 3.84 ERA in 32 career appearances (29 starts) against the White Sox. For the season, the Royals are perfect 2-0 as road underdogs of more more than 130. The price is right to back the dog here. 8* PLAY ON KANSAS CITY ROYALS. |
|||||||
05-19-23 | Mariners +1.5 v. Braves | 2-6 | Loss | -155 | 11 h 16 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Mariners have won each of rookie right-hander Bryce Miller's first three career starts and Miller (2-0, 0.47 ERA) has allowed only one run on seven hits over 19 innings of work- Atlanta's Bryce Elder (3-0, 1.94 ERA) has also been very solid through his eight starts in 2023, but I can't help but feel that the Mariners are undervalued in this matchup. Additionally, the Mariners are 6-3 against the runline as road underdogs on the season. The Braves are 10-9 SU but only 4-15 against the runline as home favorites! 8* PLAY ON SEATTLE MARINERS +1½. |
|||||||
05-18-23 | Lakers v. Nuggets -5.5 | Top | 103-108 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 52 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* TOP-RATED LAKERS/NUGGETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Denver Nuggets built up a big lead early before taking their foot off the gas in the backend of Game 1 of this series. In the end, the Nuggets won by six which would cover this number. The Lakers with AD and Lebron should not be underestimated, but at times it looked like men against boys, and the Lakers are now 4-10-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Denver. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Lakers are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |
|||||||
05-18-23 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 8-16 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE OF THE MONTH The Cardinals are only 8-14 at home on the season and righty Adam Wainwright (0-0, 7.20 ERA), has allowed eight runs on 15 hits through 10 innings over two starts after starting the season on the IL. Wainwright faced the Dodgers once last season and gave up four runs on six hits over just three innings. The Dodgers will start Julio Urias (5-3, 3.61 ERA) who is 2-0 with 17 strikeouts and a 2.29 ERA in three starts this month. This will be Urias first career start versus St. Louis. The Dodgers have won each of the last five meetings and seven of the last eight. The Dodgers are money against the runline as road favorites, and I think there's better value on the RL than the ML. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1½. |
|||||||
05-18-23 | Angels v. Orioles -140 | 6-5 | Loss | -140 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
MIKE'S EARLY MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE The Orioles are a solid 15-7 home at Camden Yards on the season and 11-2 as home favorites! Righty Tyler Wells (3-1, 2.68 ERA) is having a breakout year and the Orioles are 5-2 in his seven starts. Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson (1-0, 5.26 ERA) is having a tougher season with three runs or more allowed in four of his six starts. 8* PLAY ON BALTIMORE ORIOLES. |
|||||||
05-17-23 | Heat +8 v. Celtics | 123-116 | Win | 100 | 14 h 30 m | Show | |
MIKE'S HEAT/CELTICS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The top-seeded Boston is no doubt the better team in this series, but Miami is not your typical No. 8 seed. They're playing with a lot of heart and they are 13-5 ATS in the last 18 meetings in Boston. The Celtics have a tendency to underestimate their opponents, and I expect Miami to keep this one close. 8* PLAY ON MIAMI HEAT. |
|||||||
05-16-23 | Phillies v. Giants UNDER 7.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 35 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB TOTAL BOOKIE BU$TER Giants righty Alex Cobb (3-1, 1.70 ERA) has been outstanding and shut out Arizona through 7 1/3 innings in his last start, the the third time in four starts that Cobb did not allow a run. Phillies Zack Wheeler (3-2, 3.80 ERA) is also having a solid year and he has posted an ERA of 2.45 over his last three starts. Under is 5-0-1 in Phillies last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing record. Under is 6-2 in Giants last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing record. 8* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-16-23 | Royals v. Padres -1.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Padres shut out KC in a 4-0 win Monday night, and I think we'll see another comfortable win for the home team tonight. Royals' right-hander Brady Singer (2-4, 7.71 ERA) is 0-2 with an ERA of 9.95 over his last three starts while Padres righty Seth Lugo (3-2, 3.18 ERA) has posted an ERA of 3.71 over his last three starts, and he's 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA in three home starts on the season. The Padres are 6-2 SU and against the runline as favorites of -200 or more. 8* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO PADRES -1½. |
|||||||
05-16-23 | Guardians -120 v. White Sox | Top | 3-8 | Loss | -120 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY Lance Lynn (1-5, 7.51 ERA) has made a name for himself as a reliable starter, but he's had a terrible start to the year and here he'll face a Cleveland team that has scored 12 runs over its last two games. Since the start of the 2021, season, Lynn is 2-4 with an ERA of 5.04 in nine starts versus the Guardians. Cleveland counters with Right-hander Shane Bieber (3-1, 2.61 ERA) who has a 6-2 record with an ERA of 2.40 and 59 strikeouts in nine appearances versus the White Sox since the start of the 2021 season. Cleveland is a low-scoring team, but with this massive edge on the mound, at this price you just have back the Guardians. 10* PLAY ON CLEVELAND GUARDIANS. |
|||||||
05-15-23 | Royals v. Padres -1.5 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 3 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Padres are slumping, but they've played a tough schedule and here they'll face a much easier opponent in the 12-30 Kansas City Royals. Mitch Keller is 1-2 with an ERA of 4.80 and 11 strikeouts in 3 starts against the Padres in his career. Michael Wacha has a 3-2 record with an ERA of 3.38 in 9 starts against the Royals in his career. Wacha has been solid lately. Over his last three starts, the right-hander has allowed only four runs over 17 innings for an ERA of 2.12. Keller has posted a 4.91 ERA over his last three starts. The Padres are 5-2 SU and against the runline as home favorites of -200 or more. 8* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO PADRES -1½. |
|||||||
05-15-23 | Diamondbacks -1.5 v. A's | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 14 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE REAPER The Diamondbacks are 4-0 SU and against the runline as favorites of -160 of more on the season. They're averaging 5.90 runs per nine innings against right-handers, and here they'll face A's righty Drew Rucinski (0-3, 8.16 ERA) who has been roughed up in each of his previous three starts. The Diamondbacks will turn to Merrill Kelly (3-3, 3.18 ERA) who is 2-0 with an ERA of 2.84 in his last three starts and 2-0 with an ERA of 1.15 over 15 2/3 innings on the road in 2023. 8* PLAY ON ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS -1½. |
|||||||
05-14-23 | 76ers v. Celtics -6.5 | Top | 88-112 | Win | 100 | 14 h 40 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* CELTICS/HAWKS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Celtics have allowed Philly to hang around in this series until Game 7, but I think it ends with a blowout win for Boston. When focused and locked, in they're clearly the better team and they're three wins ahve come by 34, 12 and nine points. They have home-court advantage here in this win-or-go-home game, and we'll hopefully see Jason Tatum waking up earlier than in the fourth quarter, as was the case in Philly Thursday night. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |
|||||||
05-14-23 | Rays -115 v. Yankees | Top | 8-7 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB MONEYLINE GAME OF THE WEEK The Tampa Bay Rays have only 11 losses on the season, and this is the fourth time they're coming off back-to-back losses. They're 3-0 off back-to-back-losses on the season and with righty Zach Eflin (4-1, 2.91 ERA) they'll have a solid edge on the mound versus Yankees righty Clarke Schmidt (1-3, 5.35 ERA). 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |
|||||||
05-13-23 | Padres v. Dodgers -142 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE The Dodgers own the Padres, and they own Joe Musgrove who is 0-6 with an ERA in 10 starts against the Dodgers in his career. Julio Urias has a 6-1 record with an ERA of 2.39 in 11 starts versus the Padres in his career. 8* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |
|||||||
05-13-23 | Cardinals v. Red Sox OVER 10 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Red Sox put up six runs against the Cardinals Friday night but still lost 8-6. Both teams' bats are hot and neither of today's starters, Chris Sale (3-2, 6.37 ERA) and Steven Matz (0-4, 5.70 ERA) has had a particularly good start to the year. The Cardinals are 8-2 to the over in their last 10. The Red Sox are 7-2-1 to the over in their last 10. The over is 15-6 in Boston's 21 games home at Fenway Park on the season. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

05-13-23 | Rays -128 v. Yankees | Top | 8-9 | Loss | -128 | 5 h 52 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY The Rays took a 6-5 loss to the Yankees Friday night. They are 6-3 following their previous nine losses this season and 10-5 as road favorites. The Yankees are 2-7 as underdogs and here they'll face Shane McClanahan (7-0, 1.76 ERA) who has been one of hte best pitchers in baseball. The Rays are 8-0 in his eight starts this year and last season, he was 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA in three starts versus the Yankees. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |
|||||||
05-12-23 | Warriors v. Lakers UNDER 221.5 | 101-122 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 15 m | Show | |
MIKE'S WARRIORS/LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The bookmakers are releasing lower and lower totals for this series, but for a good reason. While Game 5 went over the total, I don't think that will be the case here as the Warriors' points per game average on the road is quite a lot lower than at home while the Lakers' offensive home/away splits are almost identical, but they play much better defense at home. Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Los Angeles. 8* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-12-23 | Padres v. Dodgers -141 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 12 m | Show | |
MIKE'S LATE MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE The Dodgers are 12-6 at home on the season and they've won each of David May's (4-1, 2.68 ERA) last three starts overall. Padres left-hander Blake Snell (1-5, 4.89 ERA) has had a rough start to the year and here he'll face a Dodgers team that has averaged 8.80 runs per nine innings against left-handers over its last 10 games! 8* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |
|||||||
05-12-23 | Mariners v. Tigers +108 | 9-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER Detroit is averaging 4.25 runs per nine innings against left-handers, and here they'll swing against Mariners southpaw Marco Gonzales who has allowed 11 runs over his last two starts. He's 2-3 with a 3.89 ERA in seven career starts against Detroit. The Tigers counter with left-hander Matthew Boyd (2-2, 5.28 ERA) who is 2-1 with a 3.52 ERA in six career appearances (five starts) against the Mariners. The Mariners are batting .193 against left-handers this year. I think the wrong team is favored in this game. 8* PLAY ON DETROIT TIGERS. |
|||||||
05-11-23 | Nuggets v. Suns UNDER 226.5 | 125-100 | Win | 100 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
MIKE'S NUGGETS/SUNS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Phoenix is facing elimination following a 118-102 loss in Denver Tuesday night. The Nuggets are averaging 112.6 points per game on the road, well below their 118.7 ppg average at home. With their backs against the wall, I expect a solid defensive outing from the Suns and this total looks more than a couple of points too high to me. 8* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-11-23 | Nuggets v. Suns -3 | 125-100 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
MIKE'S NUGGETS/SUNS SIDE Phoenix is facing elimination following a 118-102 loss in Denver Tuesday night. The Nuggets are averaging 112.6 points per game on the road, well below their 118.7 ppg average at home. With their backs against the wall, I expect a solid defensive outing from the Suns and this total looks more than a couple of points too high to me. In addition to the under, I also like the Suns to win and cover. Home-court advantage has been huge throughout the series, and I don't see why it wouldn't be the case here again, especially with the Suns in desperation mode. 8* PLAY ON PHOENIX SUNS. |
|||||||
05-11-23 | Rays -116 v. Yankees | Top | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY Since the start of last season, the Rays are 9-4 as road favorites with Drew Rasmussen (3-2, 3.11 ERA) as the starter. Rasmussen is 1-0 with only one earned run allowed in three career appearances (two starts) covering 14 innings against the Yankees. New York righty Domingo German (2-2, 4.35 ERA) has a 5.44 ERA in 12 career appearances (10 starts) against Tampa Bay. Since the start of last season, the Yankees are 2-5 as underdogs with German as the starter. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |
|||||||
05-10-23 | Lakers v. Warriors UNDER 226.5 | Top | 106-121 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 12 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY The first two games of the series went over the total, but both coaches have made adjustments defensively and the following two games both went under the total. I expect another relatively low-scoring affair here as the two teams are getting more and more familiar with each other. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-10-23 | Astros -122 v. Angels | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE The Angels lost 3-1 with Shohei Ohtani on the mound on Tuesday, and now they're supposed to get the W with right-hander Griffin Canning (2-0, 5.31 ERA) going up against right-hander Cristian Javier (2-1, 3.54 ERA)? Canning is 0-1 with a 9.22 ERA in four career starts against Houston while Javier is 3-1 with a 2.59 ERA in eight career appearances (four starts) against the Angels. 8* PLAY ON HOUSTON ASTROS. |
|||||||
05-10-23 | Nationals +134 v. Giants | 11-6 | Win | 134 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER Giants left-hander Sean Manaea (1-1, 7.33 ERA) has had a rough start to the year and here he'll face a Washington team that is batting .283 while averaging 4.52 runs per nine innings against left-handers for the season. Nats righty Josiah Gray (2-5, 3.03 ERA) has been solid, and he has allowed more than two runs in only one of his last six starts. 8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON NATIONALS. |
|||||||
05-10-23 | Tigers v. Guardians UNDER 7.5 | Top | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 3 h 7 m | Show |
MIKE'S SUPER EARLY MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY The Guardians have averaged 2.00 runs per game over their last five games and they average 2.60 runs per game over their last 10. Detroit left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (3-2, 1.81 ERA) has an ERA of 0.44 over his last three starts and under is 6-1-1 in Guardians' last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-09-23 | Suns v. Nuggets UNDER 227.5 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 14 h 26 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* SUNS/NUGGETS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The over/under is 3-1 in this series, but I think this will be a relatively low-scoring affair following a 250+ game on Sunday. With this being Game 5 of the series, the teams know each other well by now and the coaches should know which adjustments to make on the defensive end. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-09-23 | 76ers v. Celtics -7.5 | 115-103 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SIXERS/CELTICS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Sixers are the Celtics are coming into Game 5 tied at 2-2, which must be rather disappointing for Boston who've been favored in each game of the series, even in Philly. I expect them to bounce back with a win here after dropping Game 4 in overtime. Celtics are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games. Celtics are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 76ers are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings. 8* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |
|||||||
05-09-23 | Blue Jays v. Phillies -124 | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER The Phillies will be desperate to go on a run after ending a 6-1 slide with a 6-1 win at Boston on Sunday. Here they'll get a look at Toronto righty Alek Manoah (1-2, 4.71 ERA) who gave up eight hits and five runs, two earned, in five innings against Boston in his last start. 8* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES. |
|||||||
05-08-23 | Cardinals v. Cubs UNDER 7 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB TOTAL BOOKIE BOMBER Miles Mikolas is 5-3 with an ERA of 2.19 and 60 strikeouts in 14 starts against the Cubs in his career. Marcus Stroman has a record of 1-3 with an ERA of 4.99 and 40 strikeouts in seven appearances against the Cardinals in his career. While that's not an all that impressive ERA, note that it's bloated by one outing when he gave up nine runs over four innings against the Cardinals on June 3 last year. Under is 19-6-1 in Cardinals last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 37-17-4 in Cubs last 58 home games. 8* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-08-23 | Rays v. Orioles OVER 8 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 12 m | Show |
MIKE'S MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK - 10* BIG BET ALERT Baltimore is averaging 5.51 runs per nine innings. Tampa Bay is averaging 6.46 runs per nine innings. Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (6-0, 2.03 ERA) has had a superb start to the year, but the Orioles are averaging 7.22 runs per nine innings against southpaws. Baltimore right-hander Kyle Gibson (4-1, 4.61 ERA) allowed six runs on 10 hits with no strikeouts and no walks over 6 2/3 innings in a 6-0 loss to the host Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. He has a 4.35 ERA ERA in 13 career appearances (12 starts) against the Rays. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

05-07-23 | Dodgers -105 v. Padres | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 20 h 35 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* DODGERS/PADRES MLB TOP PLAY Julio Urias has a 6-1 record with an ERA of 2.30 and 48 strikeouts in 10 starts against the Padres in his career. Joe Musgrove is 0-6 with an ERA of 4.04 and 50 strikeouts in 9 starts against the Dodgers in his career. The talent gap between these two teams is closer than in recent years, but I still have the Dodgers as the better team and they are 4-1 as a favorite of no more than -130 on the season. This looks like a great price on the better team just because they're on the road. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |
|||||||
05-07-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. 76ers | Top | 115-116 | Loss | -107 | 16 h 12 m | Show |
CELTICS/HAWKS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* MAJOR WAGER The Celtics dropped the opener of this series, but they've bounced back with a pair of impressive wins. Philadelphia is a good team, but it really lit a fire in the Celtics by winning Game 1 and I expect another comfortable Boston win here. Celtics are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Celtics are 35-17-1 ATS in their last 53 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 76ers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.

05-07-23 | Marlins v. Cubs +112 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB BOOKIE BU$TER Sandy Alcantara (1-3, 5.09 ERA) has a 0-1 record with an ERA of 6.55 in 2 starts against the Cubs in his career. Both meetings took place in 2019, but the current Cubs roster is batting a combined .294 over 51 at bas against Alcantara who has an ERA of 10.24 in two road starts in 2023. The Cubs are batting .270 on the season, the 3rd best mark in the majors while Miami is averaging an MLB-worst 3.33 runs per nine innings. 8* PLAY ON CHICAGO CUBS. |

05-06-23 | Blue Jays -125 v. Pirates | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER Pittsburgh are reeling following a strong start to the year as they come into this game on a five-game losing streak. The Blue Jays won the opener of this series Friday 4-0 to end a five-game losing streak of their own, and I think we're getting a good price on them here with right-hander Jose Berrios (2-3, 5.29 ERA) on the mound. Berrios is 1-0 with a 3.72 ERA in two career starts against the Pirates who have scored a total of only six runs through their last five games and today's starter Johan Oviedo (2-2, 4.78 ERA) was roughed up for seven runs and nine hits in 2 1/3 innings in a loss at Washington on Sunday. 8* PLAY ON TORONTO BLUE JAYS. |

05-06-23 | Knicks v. Heat -3.5 | 86-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
MIKE'S KNICKS/HEAT NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Miami is in control of the series after splitting the first two games in New York. Now the Heat are at home where they are 30-15 SU on the season, and Jimmy Butler is expected to be back on the hardwood after missing their Game 2 loss. While the Knicks have a decent road record, I expect the Heat to get the win and cover here.  8* PLAY ON MIAMI HEAT. |

05-05-23 | Celtics -130 v. 76ers | Top | 114-102 | Win | 100 | 15 h 28 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* CELTICS/SIXERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Celtics bounced back with a big win in Game 2 after dropping the series opener, and I think it'll be smooth sailing for Boston from here on. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Celtics are 36-16-1 ATS in their last 53 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. 76ers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Celtics are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

05-04-23 | Lakers v. Warriors -5.5 | Top | 100-127 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
MIKE'S LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers won the opener of the series behind big play from AD. I expect the Warriors to make adjustments and contain him better here, and we should see a much better defensive performance from Golden State as they look to snap back from the loss. Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Lakers are 3-9-1 ATS following a win as a road underdog, they are also 10-3 to the under in that spot and the under is 7-2 in Warriors last 9 games following an ATS loss. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

MIKE'S LAKERS/WARRIORS TOTAL The Lakers won the opener of the series behind big play from AD. I expect the Warriors to make adjustments and contain him better here, and we should see a much better defensive performance from Golden State as they look to snap back from the loss. Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss.

05-04-23 | Mets v. Tigers +1.5 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
MIKE'S METS/TIGERS MLB RUNLINE RAMPAGE The Mets hand the ball to Justin Verlander for his first start since coming over from Houston. Verlander's Mets' debut has been delayed by a right teres major strain, and he might need a couple of starts to find his groove. Detroit left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (2-2, 2.21 ERA) has had a great start to the year, and while the Tigers are 2-4 SU in his six starts, two of those losses came by only one one, and in extra innings. Rodriguez is 2-0 with an ERA of 0.66 in two home starts. 8* PLAY ON DETROIT TIGERS +1½. |
|||||||
05-04-23 | Cubs -1.5 v. Nationals | 3-4 | Loss | -128 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
MIKE'S EARLY CUBS/NATS MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Nats are 2-4 in left-hander Patrick Corbin's six starts in 2023 and all losses came by at least two runs. The Cubs' bats have been cold in recent games, but they're batting .290 while averaging 5.42 runs per nine innings against left-handers for the season and they are 7-3 SU and against the runline when facing a left-handed starter. 8* PLAY ON CHICAGO CUBS -1½. |
|||||||
05-03-23 | 76ers +10.5 v. Celtics | Top | 87-121 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 30 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/CELTICS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Philly stole Game 1, so now we'll see Boston storm back with a blowout win in Game 2, right? Not so fast IMO. The Celtic have struggled to cover big spreads all season long and the Sixers have looked really sharp here in the playoffs, even with Embiid missing some games. I don't see Philly winning outright again, but this is too many points for Boston to cover. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. |

05-02-23 | Lakers v. Warriors -4 | Top | 117-112 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 25 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers defeated Memphis in six games in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Warriors needed seven games to get past the Kings, but they did not have the homecourt advantage in that series (which they will have here against the Lakeshow). The Warriors may have a poor road record this season, but they are 40-18-1 ATS in their last 59 home games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. This is a series where I could easily see the home team winning every game and I expect Golden State to run away with this one.  10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

05-02-23 | Giants v. Astros -171 | 2-0 | Loss | -171 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE Giants right-hander Anthony DeSclafani (2-1, 2.70 ERA) was terrific through his first two starts of the year, but he's not been quite as sharp in his last three outings, and even if the Astros can't get to him they'll surely get to the Giants bullpen which has posted an ERA of 6.40 on the season. 8* PLAY ON HOUSTON ASTROS. |

05-02-23 | Heat v. Knicks -6.5 | 105-111 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
MIKE'S HEAT/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The New York Knickerbockers got their backs against the wall as they can ill afford to lose the first two games of the series home at Madison Square Garden. Heat star Jimmy Butler is listed as doubtful after rolling his ankle in Miami's Game 1 win. Heat are 10-28-1 ATS in their last 39 games following an ATS win. Knicks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss and 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 home games. Heat are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 8* PLAY ON NEW YORK KNICKS. |

05-02-23 | Twins -162 v. White Sox | 2-3 | Loss | -162 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER Twins righty Joe Ryan (5-0, 2.81 ERA, 0.81 WHIP) could not have asked for a much better start to the season. Now he'll face a White Sox team that is averaging only 3.71 runs per nine innings against right-handers and had lost 10 in a row before coming back with a seven-run, ninth-inning rally to beat the Rays in their last game. White Sox Tuesday starter Michael Kopech (0-3, 7.01 ERA, 1.71 WHIP) has unlike Ryan had a nightmarish start to the year, and Minnesota is averaging 5.22 runs per nine innings against right-handers. 8* PLAY ON MINNESOTA TWINS. |

05-01-23 | Suns v. Nuggets -4 | 87-97 | Win | 100 | 17 h 26 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SUNS/NUGGETS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Denver dominated Game 1 of their Western Conference semi-final series against Phoenix, and I do not see why that wouldn't be the case again here in Game 2. Sure, the Suns are tough to beat off a loss and they're bound to make some adjustments, but they do not have the bench to compete with this Nuggets team. Nuggets are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. 8* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

05-01-23 | Reds v. Padres -1.5 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY Cincinnati is 1-8 SU as road underdogs on the season. Cincy right-hander Luke Weaver (0-1, 7.71 ERA) has been roughed up in both of his two starts on the season, adn he has served up five homers over 11 2/3 innings of work. Padres left-hander Blake Snell (0-4, 5.48 ERA) has also had a rough start to the year, but he's looked better in recent starts and Padres are 14-3 in the last 17 meetings with the Reds. 10* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO PADRES -1½.  |

04-30-23 | Panthers +1.5 v. Bruins | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NHL PUCKLINE OF THE MONTH Game 7 of this Eastern Conference opening-round matchup, and I think we're getting a really, really good price on the Panthers to cover the puckline. They've shown they can go toe to toe with Boston throughout the series, and while only one of the previous six games were decided by one goal, I expect this to be a close affair. 10* PLAY ON FLORIDA PANTHERS +1.5. |

04-30-23 | Warriors v. Kings UNDER 229.5 | Top | 120-100 | Win | 100 | 15 h 22 m | Show |
10* NBA TOTAL OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S WESTERN CONF BEST BET The over/under is an even 3-3 for the first six games of the series, but surely we'll see a relatively low-scoring affair here in Game 7. The Warriors have plenty of Game 7 experience, and historically those games have gone under the total more often than not. Sure, the bookmakers have adjusted this total down compared to the previous games in the series, but not enough IMO. Under is 13-6-1 in the last 20 meetings in Sacramento. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
04-30-23 | Orioles -146 v. Tigers | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 26 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER Orioles righty Kyle Bradish has an ugly ERA of 6.30 for the season, but over only 10 innings and wildly skewed by his last outing when he gave up seven runs over just 2 1/3 frames in an 8-6 loss to Boston. I expect Bradish to have a much better outing here against a Tigers team that is batting .217 against right-handers on the season. Detroit righty Spencer Turnbull (1-3, 7.25 ERA) has had a rough start to the year and Baltimore is hot. 8* PLAY ON BALTIMORE ORIOLES. |
|||||||
04-30-23 | Heat v. Knicks -4.5 | 108-101 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
MIKE'S HEAT/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Both the Knicks and the Heat won their Round 1 series as underdogs, but I like the Knicks here in the opener of this Eastern Conference semi-finals matchup. The Knicks owned Miami during the regtular season, winning three of four straight up while also covering the spread in those three games.  Knicks are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 games following an ATS win. Knicks are 25-9-1 ATS in their last 35 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Heat are 16-33-2 ATS in their last 51 games following a straight up win. Heat are 9-28-1 ATS in their last 38 games following an ATS win. 8* PLAY ON NEW YORK KNICKS. |

04-29-23 | Suns v. Nuggets -3 | 107-125 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SUNS/NUGGETS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER This will no doubt be an amazing series between two great teams, but I'll gladly back Denver at this number in Game 1 of the series. Phoenix has the better starting five (probably), but they sacrificed a lot of depth when they traded for Kevin Durant, and it will be tough for them to adjust to the altitude in Denver. Suns are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Nuggets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 8* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

MIKE'S GRIZZLIES/LAKERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers are in a position to close out the series at home following a 116-99 loss in Memphis a couple of nigths ago. They've been a step ahead of the Grizzlies for most of the series, and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss (4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points). The Grizzlies are 7-22 ATS in their last 29 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES LAKERS. |

MIKE'S CELTICS/HAWKS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER I expect the Celtics to go off and close out the series following an upset loss home at TD Garden. They've covered the spread in each game they've on in this series, and they are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Hawks are 20-44 ATS in their last 64 games following a straight up win. Hawks are 17-38 ATS in their last 55 games following an ATS win. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Angels have won Shohei Ohtani's last four starts, covering the runline in two of them, since losing his season opener 2-1 to Oakland. Here Ohtani (3-0, 0.64 ERA) gets a chance to avenge that loss, and he'll face a reeling A's side that has only two wins in its last 10 games while the Angels are going a lot better and they've averaged 7.60 runs per nine innings over their last five games. 8* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES ANGELS -1.5. |
|||||||
04-26-23 | Lakers v. Grizzlies -4 | 99-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
MIKE'S NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Grizzlies need to win out after losing three of the first four games of the series. They lost Game 4 in LA in OT, but now they're back home in Memphis where they are a lot better. The Grizzlies have been plagued by slow starts, but with their backs against the wall, I expect them to come out on fire tonight. 8* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. |

04-26-23 | Dodgers -131 v. Pirates | Top | 1-8 | Loss | -131 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Dodgers won the opener of this series 8-7 on Monday. The Pirates came into the week on a seven-game winning streak, but I think they might start sliding now. Los Angeles right-hander Tony Gonsolin will make his first start of the season after going 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA in 24 starts in 2022. In two career starts against the Pirates, Gonsolin is 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA. Pittsburgh right-hander Roansy Contreras (2-1, 4.57 ERA) has had three great starts and one poor outing, but here he'll face a Dodgers team that is starting to pick up the pace. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |

04-25-23 | Wolves v. Nuggets -9.5 | 109-112 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 37 m | Show | |
MIKE'S WOLVES/NUGGETS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Denver Nuggets failed to complete the sweep Sunday as Minnesota hung in there and managed to squeeze out a win in overtime. Now the Nuggets are back home where they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, and they are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. I don't see the No. 1 seed in the West dropping another game in this series, and while this is a large spread to cover I expect them to get it done. 8* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |
|||||||
04-25-23 | Dodgers -115 v. Pirates | Top | 8-7 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Pirates are 16-7 on the season while the Dodgers are "only" 12-11, but are the Pirates a better baseball team than the Dodgers? I don't think anyone would argue yes ... The Dodgers are 0-4 in Noah Syndergaard's first four starts for the team despite Syndergaard (0-3, 4.91 ERA) allowing only two runs in each of his last two starts. Syndergaard is 2-2 with an ERA of 2.73 and 29 strikeouts over 33 innings in five starts versus the Pirates in his career and I think the Dodgers will do their absolute best to get him a W here. Pittsburgh righty Johan Ovideo (2-1, 2.22 ERA) is off to a great start to the year, but now he'll face a Dodgers team whose bats are heating up and they are averaging 5.89 runs per nine innings against right-handers. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |

04-24-23 | Grizzlies +4.5 v. Lakers | 111-117 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
MIKE'S GRIZZLIES/LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Grizzlies came out flat as a pancake on Saturday, but came back strong and almost made a game of it in the fourth quarter. I expect them to show a lot better focus here and I would not be surprised if Memphis wins in a rout. 8* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The A's are 4-18 SU and 8-14 against the runline on the season as underdogs. The Angels are batting .285 while averaging 5.40 runs per nine innings against left-handers on the season. Oakland left-hander Ken Waldichuk (0-2, 7.65 ERA) was tagged with six runs on nine hits on 5 2/3 innings of a 6-0 loss to the Angels on April 2 in his first start of the season. Angels left-hander Jose Suarez has an ERA of 2.70 and 20 strikeouts over 23 1/3 frames in four starts versus the Athletics in his career. He had a 2-0 record with an ERA of 0.00 and 13 strikeouts in two starts against the Athletics last year. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES ANGELS -1.5. |

MIKE'S 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Bucks are back under pressure after losing Game 3 of the series. They bounced back with a superb effort after dropping the opener of the series, and I expect that to be the case again tonight. Bucks are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 Conference Quarterfinals games. Bucks are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Heat are 16-34-1 ATS in their last 51 games following an ATS win.

They've dominated the first three games of the series, and I do not see why this game would be any different.  Nuggets are 24-7-1 ATS in the last 32 meetings in Minnesota. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. 8* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* CELTICS/HAWKS MAJOR WAGER The Atlanta Hawks won 130-122 on Friday, but the Celtics are still holding a 2-1 lead in the series and I think they'll set themselves up to win the series in five games with a win tonight. Celtics are 11-0 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Hawks are 20-43 ATS in their last 63 games following a straight up win. Hawks are 17-37 ATS in their last 54 games following an ATS win. Hawks are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game.

MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER Angels left-hander Reid Detmers (0-1, 4.50 ERA) is still without a winning decision in 2023, but here he'll face a KC team with a 5-16 record at it has a .210 batting average on the season. Detmers is coming off his best start of the year, as he held the Red Sox to two runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings while striking out seven last Sunday. The Royals counter with Jordan Lyles (0-3, 3.91 ERA) who is 4-4 with a 6.39 ERA in 10 career games (nine starts) against the Angels. 8* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES ANGELS -1.5. |

MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER The Rays are 18-3 SU on the season. At one point it will become profitable to fade them, but as of right now, the bookmakers are still undervaluing them IMO. Lucas Gioloti has an ERA of 2.27 in 6 starts versus the Rays in his career, but this is a very different Tampa Bay team compared to what he's faced in previous years. 8* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |

MIKE'S CAVS/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Cavs are in a precarious situation after losing two of the first three games of the series. They bounced back from a loss in Game 1, and I think they'll snap back with a win here again after losing Game 3. Cavaliers are 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Cavaliers are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 games following an ATS loss. 8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. |

MIKE'S 10* GRIZZLIES/LAKERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers are in control of the series after splitting two games in Memphis, but I think the Grizzlies have a great chance of winning this one outright. Ja Morant is by the looks of it a game-time decision after missing Wednesday's Game 2 win, but no Morant, no problem as the Grizzlies have proven time and time again that they can win even without their superstar. 10* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. |

04-22-23 | Bucks -4.5 v. Heat | 99-121 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 42 m | Show | |
MIKE'S BUCKS/HEAT NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Heat took Game 1 of the series, but Milwaukee bounced back with a 138-122 route that was even more lopsided than the final score would suggest. I expect the Bucks to steamroll Miami through the rest of the series, starting with a big win tonight. Bucks are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Heat are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. 8* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |

04-22-23 | Astros v. Braves -105 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 20 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* ASTROS/BRAVES MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Atlanta right-hander Kyle Wright (0-0, 6.23 ERA) has not had a great start to the year, but the Braves have still won both of his first two starts of the year. Wright held Houston to 2 runs on 6 hits with 1 walk and 7 strikeouts in 6 innings last year. He was credited with the win. Astros left-hander Framber Valdez (3-0, 1.44 ERA) has had a great start to the season, but the team has lost three of his four starts. Braves hitters ave an OBP of .389 against left-handed pitchers this season - best in the MLB. The price is right to back the Braves. 10* PLAY ON ATLANTA BRAVES. |

04-22-23 | White Sox v. Rays -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Rays are 11-0 SU and 9-2 against the RL as home favorites this season. Shane McClanahan has a 1-1 record with an ERA of 3.27 and 12 strikeouts in 2 starts versus the White Sox in his career. The White Sox are batting only .232 against left-handers. 8* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5.  |

04-22-23 | 76ers -128 v. Nets | 96-88 | Win | 100 | 11 h 60 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SIXERS/NETS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Joel Embiid has been ruled out due to a right knee sprain, but I don't see the Sixers stepping off the Nets' throat as they look to set themselves up for the sweep and get maximum amount of rest heading into the conference semi-finals.  Nets are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 76ers are 3-0-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Brooklyn. 76ers are 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 8* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. |
|||||||
04-21-23 | Cavs +2 v. Knicks | 79-99 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 55 m | Show | |
MIKE'S CAVS/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Cavs need a win on the road to take control of the series again after splitting the first two games home in Cleveland. They dominated the Knicks in Game 2, and I hold them as a much better team than NY. Cavaliers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 2 days rest. Knicks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. 8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. |
|||||||
04-20-23 | Kings v. Warriors UNDER 239.5 | Top | 97-114 | Win | 100 | 17 h 40 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* KINGS/WARRIORS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The betting market is treating this like a regular season game when it comes to the total, something I strongly disagree with. Game 2 of the series saw 220 points scored, and while Draymond Greene's suspension will affect the Warriors negatively on the defensive end, I still think this total is too high. Under is 19-7-1 in Kings last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 16-5-1 in Warriors last 22 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
04-20-23 | 76ers -4.5 v. Nets | Top | 102-97 | Win | 100 | 14 h 11 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/NETS NBA ATS TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Nets did not stand a chance in either of the first two games of the series, and I don't think much will change just because they're at home here in Game 3 of the series. Nets are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. 76ers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 76ers are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 76ers are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS.  |
|||||||
04-19-23 | Heat v. Bucks -6 | Top | 122-138 | Win | 100 | 14 h 40 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S HEAT/BUCKS MAJOR WAGER This looks like a great spot to back the Bucks following a humbling 130-117 loss in the opener of this best-of-seven series. The Heat have struggled with consistency all season, and they are 7-27-1 ATS in their last 35 games following an ATS win while the Bucks are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following an ATS loss. Giannis Antetokounmpo left Game 1 late in the first quarter due to a lower-back/tailbone injury, and he is listed as doubtful for Game 2, but I still like the Bucks to bounce back with a big win. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |
|||||||
04-19-23 | Rays -1.5 v. Reds | Top | 8-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show |
MIKE'S EARLY MLB RUNLINE GAME OF THE WEEK Reds righty Levi Stoudt will be making his MLB debut Wednesday afternoon, and he could not have faced a tougher opponent. The Rays have started the season red hot. They're 15-2 and 14-3 against the RL as favorites and have averaged 7.08 runs per nine innings over their first 18 games. Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen (2-1, 2.60 ERA) has started the season strong and the Rays are 11-0 SU and 9-2 against the runline in his last 11 starts as a favorite of at least -150. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5. |
|||||||
04-18-23 | Rangers -120 v. Royals | Top | 12-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Texas Rangers own the Royals, at least when being favored by the betting market. They are 18-5 SU and 17-6 against the runline against KC when closing as a favorite, dating back to the start of the 2018 season. Brad Keller is 1-2 with an ERA of 6.53 in 4 starts versus the Rangers in his career. Nathan Eovaldi has a record of 3-2 with an ERA of 4.50 in 6 starts against the Royals in his career, and I think he'll bounce back with a strong outing here after giving up six runs in a 10-1 loss to the Royals in his last start. 10* PLAY ON TEXAS RANGERS. |
|||||||
04-18-23 | Knicks v. Cavs -5.5 | Top | 90-107 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* KNICKS/CAVS NBA GAME OF THE MONTH I love the Cavs to snap back with a win here after getting outplayed in the opener of the best-of-seven series. The Knicks will be satisfied to return back to NY with a win and I don't see them being able to match the Cavs intensity and urgency. 10* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. |
|||||||
04-17-23 | Warriors -106 v. Kings | Top | 106-114 | Loss | -106 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to back the Warriors to bounce back from a 126-123 loss in Game 1 of the series. They held the lead for most of the game until Sacramento came back in the 4th quarter and now they need to win to avoid heading back home in a 2-0 hole. I also like the under as under is 15-5-1 in Warriors last 21 vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings in Sacramento. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |
|||||||
04-17-23 | Warriors v. Kings UNDER 240 | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 14 h 44 m | Show | |
MIKE'S WARRIORS/KINGS TOTAL This looks like a good spot to back the Warriors to bounce back from a 126-123 loss in Game 1 of the series. They held the lead for most of the game until Sacramento came back in the 4th quarter and now they need to win to avoid heading back home in a 2-0 hole. I also like the under as under is 15-5-1 in Warriors last 21 vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings in Sacramento. 8* PLAY ON UNDER. |

04-17-23 | Rangers -1.5 v. Royals | Top | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Rangers are off to a solid 9-6 start to the year while the Royals are 4-12 (1-9 at home). Jacob deGrom is 1-0 with an ERA of 1.93 in 2 starts against the Royals in his career. Jordan Lyles has a 2-6 record with an ERA of 6.20 in 11 starts versus the Rangers in his career. Lyles is 0-2 with a 5.19 ERA in three starts on the season and the Rangers are averaging 6.29 runs per nine innings against right-handers. Additionally, KC's bullpen is one of the worst in baseball with an ERA of 5.67. 10* PLAY ON TEXAS RANGERS -1.5. |

04-17-23 | Nets v. 76ers -10 | 84-96 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
MIKE'S NETS/SIXERS ATS BOOKIE BREAKER The Philadelphia 76ers won Game 1 of the series by 20 points, and I don't see how Brooklyn can keep this one close either. 76ers are 25-12 ATS in their last 37 home games. 76ers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Conference Quarterfinals games. Nets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Nets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Conference Quarterfinals games. Nets are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 8* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. |
|||||||
04-17-23 | Angels -132 v. Red Sox | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 27 m | Show | |
MIKE'S EARLY ANGELS/RED SOX MLB BOOKIE BU$TER Angels' ace Shohei Ohtani has had a great start to the year, with only one run allowed on six hits over 19 innings of work. Ohtani is back on the mound here as he looks to deny the Red Sox to complete the sweep of the four-game series. Boston right-hander Brayan Bello (2-8, 4.71 ERA in 2022) will make his first start of the season and he's coming off the 15-day injured list (forearm). Over the last three seasons, the Angels are 25-13 as a road favorite of -125 to -175. During that same timeframe, the Red Sox are 7-14 as a home underdog of +125 to +175. 8* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES ANGELS.  |
|||||||
04-16-23 | Clippers v. Suns UNDER 225.5 | 115-110 | Win | 100 | 14 h 21 m | Show | |
MIKE'S CLIPPERS/SUNS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BU$TER The under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings and I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring affair when Phoenix hosts the Clippers Sunday night. In the previous four meetings this season, only one went over this line, and that was when the Clippers won 119-114 here in Phoenix in the regular-season finale a week ago. I don't think the score in that game reflects what we'll see here. 8* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
04-16-23 | Heat v. Bucks -9 | Top | 130-117 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Bucks are the No. 1 seed in the East and here they'll face a Miami team that needed a second chance to get through the play-in tournament. The Heat are 6-27-1 ATS in their last 34 games following an ATS win while the Bucks are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 Conference Quarterfinals games. Milwaukee rested MVP finalist Giannis Antetokounmpo in the final three games of the regular season and I expect the Bucks to set the tone for a sweep with a blowout win here in Game 1 of the series. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |
|||||||
04-16-23 | Diamondbacks v. Marlins -123 | Top | 5-0 | Loss | -123 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB GAME OF THE WEEK The Marlins are riding a four-game winning streak and I like the price we get on them here with the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara on the mound. Sure, Alcantara (1-1, 5.79 ERA) was slapped around by the Phillies in his last start, but he owns a 2.92 ER in four career starts against Arizona and Alcantara is the kind of pitcher I expect to snap back with a strong outing after getting lit up. Arizona hands the ball to Zac Gallen (1-1, 4.58 ERA) who is in a potential flat spot following seven scoreless innings against the Brewers. 10* PLAY ON MIAMI MARLINS. |
|||||||
04-15-23 | Warriors +100 v. Kings | Top | 123-126 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 6 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* WARRIORS/KINGS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Warriors are basically a pick'em at Sacramento on Saturday. While the Warriors are only 11-30 SU on the season I think they should be a much bigger favorite in this one, especially considering the massive amount of playoff experience in the team while the Kings have a young and inexperienced team.  Warriors are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Warriors are 32-14 ATS in their last 46 Conference Quarterfinals games. Kings are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Kings are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

04-15-23 | Knicks v. Cavs -5 | 101-97 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
MIKE'S KNICKS/CAVS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER This could turn into an interesting series, but I think the Cavs will set the tone with a big win at home here in Game 1. Cleveland has been playing with a playoff-like intensity on the defensive end all season long and enters the playoffs with the No. 1 scoring-defense in the league. 8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. |
|||||||
04-15-23 | Diamondbacks v. Marlins -123 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER Miami opened the series with a 5-1 win to make it a three-game winning streak. Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett (0-0, 4.70 ERA) has allowed four runs over 7 2/3 innings in two starts against the Mets on the season. Diamondbacks are 3-9 in their last 12 games vs. a left-handed starter. Arizona right-hander Ryne Nelson (1-0, 4.91 ERA) has allowed six runs over 11 innings in starts against the Padres and the Dodgers. After opening the season with a couple of winning decisions, I think Nelson and the D'Backs will drop this one. 8* PLAY ON MIAMI MARLINS. |
