05-28-22 | Rangers v. A's -105 | 11-4 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletics to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. They A's have already dropped the 1st 2 games of this series and there is no way they can win it now but they still have a chance to split the series and I expect them to bounce back here with a win in their own ballpark. The A's didn't look great in the 1st game of this series losing 4-1 after a good start with their pitching but they looked a lot better in the previous game, losing 8-5 in that game but they played well with a 5-2 lead for a majority of the game, their bullpen just blew it for them in the last 3 innings. I think their bullpen will bounce back here though and the A's are getting a bit of a break with the pitching matchup too. The Rangers have Taylor Hearn (2-3, 5.77 ERA) up for them here and he has looked consistently bad in his starts this year. He just gave up 4 runs in his most recent start and has given up 4+ runs in half of his starts this year. He has not made it into the 6th inning of any start this year either and has only struck out 4 batters in his 2 most recent starts. The A's looked a lot better yesterday with their offense and I think they will have another good game here offensively but I expect them to keep putting up the runs here and make sure they hang onto that lead this time. Zach Logue (2-3, 4.43 ERA) is up for the A's here and he just gave up 7 runs in his most recent start but that was just 1 bad game and he looked really good in the 4 starts he made before that bad game. I think he is going to bounce back with a better performance here and I expect his team to offer a lot of run support knowing he is still a rookie. I like the A's to bounce back and win here. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Athletics. |

05-27-22 | Blue Jays -115 v. Angels | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. The Blue Jays have won 2 games in a row including the 1st game of this series yesterday and I think they can win this game too. Their offense is starting to get hot again with 14 runs scored in their 2 most recent games and I think they can continue that good run of scoring here. The Angels have lost 2 games in a row now and their offense has really died down in those games. They have only put up 5 runs in their 2 most recent games while giving up 13 runs. I think the Blue Jays offense is going to have another big game here and I expect them to put up the runs again. Chase Silseth (1-1, 2.61 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he hasn't been bad this year but he has also pitched in 2 games only. He is also a rookie so those 2 starts are the only 2 MLB games he has ever pitched in in his career and both starts were against the A's too who don't have a very good lineup. I think the Blue Jays are going to get to him here for some runs and I expect Silseth to look shaky again after giving up 3 runs in his most recent start. Alek Manoah (5-1, 1.62 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has been having a great year, I expect that to continue here. He hasn't given up more than 2 earned runs in a start this year and he just pitched through 8 innings in his most recent start while only giving up 1 run in that game. He has been a great pitcher all year and I think he will have another great game here to help put the Blue Jays on top in this game. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Blue Jays. |

05-27-22 | Heat +9 v. Celtics | Top | 111-103 | Win | 100 | 12 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Friday. The Heat are really banged up for this game but they were also banged up in their previous game and they still looked really good in the 1st half. They stayed in that game and were even leading for a majority of the 1st half but things started to fall apart for them in the 2nd half. That game was really defensive though and I think that the Heat are going to have to play with that same defensive effort here to try and win this road game and stay alive. The Heat may not win this game to stay alive but I think they can cover the spread here with a great defensive effort and keep this game close enough to still give themselves a chance to win it. The Celtics are also a bit banged up for this game and I think that will help the Heat put up more points on them to stay close in this game. The Heat are going to be desperate here facing elimination and I expect them to bring everything they have here. They are still the 1st seed in the East and they aren't going to go down here without a fight. This game is too important for them to just give up and get blown out by 20+ points so I expect to see their best effort here from the Heat. Defense was what they leaned on all year with incredible defensive play and I expect that defensive effort to show up here and keep them in this game. I like the Heat to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 95-91 Celtics. |

05-27-22 | Avalanche v. Blues +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues +1.5. I like the St Louis Blues puckline in this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Friday. The Blues managed to stay alive in the previous game with a big win but they really showed their resilience in that game with a great effort. They were dominated for the 1st 2 periods of that game but they really stepped up in the 3rd and their playoff experience really showed as they managed to come back from down 3-1 with less than 5 minutes left, and then after giving up another late goal to go down 4-3 they scored again to send it to OT where they would ultimately win the game. The Avalanche looked really nervous near the end of that game as they were pressed back on their heels for a majority of the 3rd period and they lost the game on a weak and fluky shot in OT which really shows how they gave in to their nerves after the Blues turned it on. The Blues showed that killer instinct and I think they are going to play that way from the beginning of this game being a more friendly environment on home ice and I expect to see their best effort again being on the brink of elimination still. I think the Blues are a live dog in this game but even if they do lose the game, I expect it to be close or possibly even a loss in OT. The Blues are hot now with some momentum going into this game and they should play more comfortably on their home ice here. I expect them to be pressuring the Avs here the entire game like they were in the 3rd period of the previous game. I like the Blues puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Blues. |

05-26-22 | Mavs v. Warriors OVER 215 | 110-120 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks/Warriors OVER. I am on the over in the Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors game on Thursday. The Mavericks looked really good in the previous game, taking control of that game early and dominating it for most of the way. They have put up 100+ points in 3 games in a row now, despite losing 2 of those games, and I think this is going to be another high scoring game where they have to match the Warriors and exceed their effort to stay alive in this series. This will be a difficult game for the Mavericks with this being a road game for them so they will need to come with their best effort here since the Warriors will be at their best on their home court here. I expect to see the best effort from the Mavericks here too though with this being an elimination game for them, I think they are going to be desperate here and come with their best effort too. The Warriors have looked great in every game of this series except for the previous game, and even then they still made a bit of a comeback in the 2nd half. They have put up 109+ points in every game of this series and they have done it in 5 games in a row now going back to their previous series. I think the Warriors are going to play a lot better on their home court here and I expect them to shoot a lot better from the arc too. I think the Mavericks will be forced to keep up with the Warriors in this game by putting up more points and I see this turning into a high scoring game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 121-110 Warriors. |

05-26-22 | Royals v. Twins -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins -1.5. I like the Minnesota Twins runline in this game against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. The Twins have been really hot lately, winning 6 games in a row before that run ended last night with a home loss to the Tigers. They have still looked really good in all of their games and I think they are going to bounce back in their own ballpark here. The Royals haven't looked great in their games lately, they have lost 6 games in a row and just got swept in B2B series, 1 against the D-Backs and 1 against the Twins. Part of that 6 game run for the Twins included their sweep of the Royals and that was a road series for them too. They are back in their own ballpark for this series and I expect nothing less from them as what they did to the Royals less than a week ago. Daniel Lynch (2-3, 4.01 ERA) is up for the Royals here and he has been struggling in his starts ever since coming into the league last year. He hasn't looked great in his starts lately, with only 1 game where he didn't give up a run and his team hasn't had much success with him in his most recent starts either. I expect him to give up hits and runs in this game with how well the Twins offense has looked lately. Devin Smeltzer (1-0, 1.74 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he hasn't pitched in a lot of games this year, but the 2 games he did pitch in he played really well, only giving up 1 run in each of his starts while going 5+ innings deep into the game. He has also been pretty consistent throughout his career and I expect a good performance from him here against a bad lineup that is missing some key players in it too. I like the Twins runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Twins. |

05-26-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -151 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Thursday. The Hurricanes just lost 2 games in a row in New York and allowed the Rangers to even up the series at 2. The Hurricanes haven't looked great in their road games this postseason but they have looked really good in their home games, being a perfect 6-0 in their home games this postseason. They won the 1st 2 games of this series on home ice with a great defensive effort, keeping the Rangers at only 1 goal between the 2 games while scoring 2 goals themselves in each game. I think this is going to be another dominant performance by the Hurricanes on home ice here and I expect them to play their best here like they have on home ice all year and take a series lead here. The Rangers have only won 1 road game in this postseason and I think they are going to lose another game with their inability to score goals in their road games. They also looked really good on defense in the 1st 2 games but Igor hasn't been great in a lot of their road games this postseason and I think there is a good chance that he will crack here, letting in a few goals from the Hurricanes. I think the Rangers are going to have another road game where they struggle on offense here and if they don't get out to an early lead then I think the Hurricanes will be able to take the game over and dominate it with their offensive and defensive efforts. The Hurricanes have been perfect this postseason in their home games and I don't think that run is going to end tonight. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. |
|||||||
05-25-22 | Celtics v. Heat +2 | Top | 93-80 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Wednesday. The series here is all tied up at 2 and the Heat have been alternating between wins and losses in this series. They just lost their most recent game and didn't look great in that game but each game of this series has been so lopsided and I think this will be a game that the Heat dominate and win in here on their home court. They have looked great in their home games this postseason, they did lose on their home court earlier this series in the 2nd game but that was their 1st home loss this postseason and I think they are going to bounce back after their previous game and put up a dominant performance here. The Heat have also never trailed once in a series in this postseason and I think that is going to continue here with the Heat taking a series lead on their home court here. Jimmy Butler was nowhere to be found in their previous game and really, none of the players on their starting rotation put a good effort in that game since they were all shut down by the Celtics. I don't think that will happen again here though and I expect Butler to have a much better game here. Lowry has also been contributing in their games with a good defensive effort since coming back but this will also be his 1st game back on home court and I think he is going to have a big game defensively here while his teammates take care of the offense. The Celtics got through the Nets easily in the 1st round but they had a big challenge in the 2nd round kicking out the defending champs and it took them 7 games to do so. I think they are going to start feeling the exhaustion from that series the deeper we get into this one and I expect a good effort from the Heat on their home court here to win this game and take the series lead. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 104-95 Heat. |

05-25-22 | Blues +1.5 v. Avalanche | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues +1.5. I like the St Louis Blues puckline in this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The Blues have lost 2 games in a row now and they are down 3-1 in the series on the brink of elimination here. I think they are going to be desperate in this game and I expect them to play their best game of the series here. They have already won a road game in this series though, it being their only win of the series, but I think they can keep this game close with a good effort. They didn't look terrible in their 2 most recent games, they still lost both games on home ice by 3 goals, but it was really just 1 period in each game that they let get away from them after having a strong start in the games. Ville Husso hasn't really looked great either since coming in for the injured Binnington but he did play a majority of their regular season games this year and I expect him to shake off his nerves and put up a better performance on home ice here. Both of the games in this series that were in Colorado were the 2 best games that the Blues played in this series. They got their 1 win 4-1 and then also lost the 1st game of this series in OT 3-2. I think this is going to be a close game just like those 2 and I expect the desperation to take over for the Blues here. They have the playoff experience on their team from when they won the Cup back in 2019 and I think they can at least put up a good fight here. I like the Blues puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Blues. |

05-25-22 | Phillies v. Braves -163 | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. The Braves won the previous game in this series against the Phillies and they haven't been winning a ton of games lately but they have been winning a majority of their games and have looked good in the games with their scoring. The Braves took a lead in their game last night and they maintained that lead for the whole game, the Phillies tried to fight back but every time they did the Braves would just score again and keep their lead. This is an important game for since they play in the same division and this is a series that the Braves will want to win and take advantage of in their own ballpark here. I think the Braves are getting hot now after that win last night and I expect them to continue playing well here. Charlie Morton (3-3, 4.95 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he hasn't been great this year but he was a lot worse at the beginning of the season and has started to pitch a lot better lately. The team has also been winning a lot more games lately with him pitching and I think he is going to continue to get better as the season goes on. Ranger Suarez ( 4-2, 4.12 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he hasn't looked great in his starts lately. He just gave up 3 runs in B2B starts and he has been giving up 3+ runs in a majority of his starts this year. The Braves are hitting a lot better lately and I think they will put up some runs on Suarez in this game. I also think Morton will continue to pitch well here and I expect him to keep the Phillies from scoring a lot here. I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Braves. |
|||||||
05-24-22 | Rangers v. Angels -152 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. The Angels just put up a good series against the A's over the weekend and I expect them to continue that into this series. The Angels just faced the Rangers last week and the Rangers swept them in their ballpark in a 3 game series. Now the Angels are back at home for this mini series and I expect them to be looking for revenge here with a sweep of their own in mind. Noah Syndergaard (3-2, 3.60 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he has looked good all year except for 1 start where he pitched a really bad game, the only game he has given up 4 runs or more in this year. That bad start was just last week against the Rangers but I expect him to pitch a much better game here and ensure that doesn't happen again to him. Dane Dunning (1-2, 3.92 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he has been good this year but he hasn't been great either with a lot of his starts seeing 3+ runs given up in them. He faced the Angels in his most recent start and he gave up 2 runs but still pitched a very good game. I think it will be hard for him to pitch another good game here though with the Angels looking for revenge from getting swept and his most recent start being a game against the Angels. There hasn't been a lot of time and unless he comes with some fresh pitches that he didn't use last week against them, I see him getting rocked in this game for a lot of runs. I like the Angels to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Angels. |
|||||||
05-24-22 | Warriors +1.5 v. Mavs | 109-119 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Tuesday. The Warriors have taken a 3-0 lead in the series and they have already pushed the Mavericks to the brink of elimination here. The Warriors were favored for the 1st 2 games of this series and they won both of those games handedly, winning both by 9+ points. They were a dog in their most recent game though, the game in Dallas, and they still won that game by 9 points. The Warriors are a dog again in this game but I don't see this game going any different than the rest of the series has gone. The Warriors have looked dominant in every game this series and I think they are going to dominate this game too. The previous game was also in Dallas but the Mavericks were never once in control of that game and I think now that they are on the brink of elimination, I expect the warriors to come with their best effort here to close out the series. Luka still had a big game in their most recent game and he got some help from Brunson and Dinwiddie too but it wasn't enough to beat the Warriors and they were on their own home court. I think the Warriors are just too strong for the Mavericks and they have their sights set on the Championship after a few write off seasons that they had to go through. This is not the same Warriors team that held the dynasty for so many years a few years ago but they are still really good and I see them sweeping the Mavericks here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 116-109 Warriors. |
|||||||
05-24-22 | Hurricanes -103 v. Rangers | 1-4 | Loss | -103 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Tuesday. The Hurricanes lost the previous game in this series in New York but they still have a 2-1 series lead and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. All of the games in this series have been very close and really could have gone either way but it has been the defensive efforts and the goalkeeping of both teams that is keeping both teams in these games. The Hurricanes still haven't won a road game in this postseason yet but I think they will get their 1st road win here to take a 3-1 series lead. I expect them to be motivated here since they just came off a 7 game series and will probably want to wrap this series up a lot quicker. They have been flawless on home ice in this postseason and if they win this game tonight, they have a chance to eliminate the Rangers on home ice in the next game which is an opportunity that I think the Hurricanes won't pass up on after going through a longer series. The Hurricanes dominated the Rangers during the regular season and I expect them to do the same in this game. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Hurricanes. |

05-23-22 | Heat v. Celtics UNDER 208 | 82-102 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Heat/Celtics UNDER. I am on the under in the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics game on Monday. The 1st 3 games of this series have been on the higher scoring end but they have been decreasing in total points in each game and they just had their lowest scoring game of the series in their most recent game. I think the scores of these games are going to continue to get lower as we get deeper into the series and I expect both teams to come with a better defensive effort in each game. The Celtics lost the 3rd game of this series on their home court and I expect them to give a better defensive effort here to win this game and even up the series at 2. The Celtics looked great defensively in the 2nd game since they were able to hold the Heat to 102 points on their own floor. Kyle Lowry came back in the most recent game for the Heat and he really contributed to the Heat's defensive effort in that game which helped them keep such a big lead over the Celtics in that road game. I think the Celtics are going to make some adjustments now that they have seen the Heat back at full strength and with both teams getting most of their players back healthy now, I think the games are going to be a lot more defensive now. The deeper we get into the series I expect both teams to turn it up on defense since defense is what wins championships and both of these teams have already had some really low scoring affairs in their previous series'. These games already keep decreasing in score and I expect this game to follow suit here. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 98-92 Celtics. |
|||||||
05-23-22 | Blue Jays +105 v. Cardinals | 3-7 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Monday. The Blue Jays just lost their most recent game against the Reds in a close 3-2 game but they did win that series and are starting to get back on track after going into a bit of a slump over the past few weeks. The Cardinals just won 3 games in a row but they were playing the Pirates in that series who are 1 of the worst teams in the league and I think they are going to struggle a lot more with the Blue Jays here. The Cardinals didn't look good before running into the Pirates in that series and I think they will have some issues against the Blue jays who are a lot better than the team they just saw. Jose Berrios (3-2, 4.83 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he hasn't looked great in some of his starts lately but he just pitched a really good game in his most recent start and I expect him to repeat that here since most of his starts have been good this year. Miles Mikolas (3-2, 1.68 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked really good in all of his games this year but he has yet to have a bad start and I think there is 1 coming up for him here. He gives up a lot of hits in the games he has started and I think that will come back to bite him here. The Blue Jays have been hitting the ball well and they are a big home run hitting kind of team. I expect them to put up runs on Mikolas here now that their offense has looked a lot better lately. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
05-23-22 | Panthers +112 v. Lightning | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Panthers. I like the Florida Panthers to win this game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday. The Panthers are down 3-0 in this series and they are going to be desperate in this game. They are facing elimination here and I expect them to come out and play their best hockey of the year here to win a game and sent the series back home with a chance to make it 3-2. The Lightning have been dominant in this series but there was 1 game that the Panthers almost won and could have changed the landscape of this series. The Lightning scored on them with 4 seconds left in game 2 which seemed to be heading for OT but that loss must have disheartened Florida a bit which showed in the last game. This is the last stand for the Panthers though and they do not win here then they are out. I expect them to wake up here and play a good game since they were the team with the most points during the regular season and they weren't dominated that much in their regular season games against the Lightning either. The series between them was pretty even with both teams getting blow out wins against each other and I see this game has the potential for the panthers to win it. They have it in them to beat this team and not only will they be desperate here, but they hate the Lightning due to their state rivalry with each other and it would be an absolute embarrassment for the Panthers who won the Presidents Trophy to get swept here. I think the Panthers will bounce back here and keep their postseason alive. I like the Panthers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Panthers. |

05-22-22 | Warriors v. Mavs -2.5 | 109-100 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Golden State Warriors in this game on Sunday. The Mavericks are down 2-0 in the series but they could've easily had this series tied up in game 2 and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. They looked really good for a majority of that 2nd game with the Warriors, leading by 20+ points early in that game but it started to fall apart for them in the 2nd half. The Mavs still came out with a really strong effort in that game and I think they will do the same here. I also think they will be able to hang on to any lead they get here on their home court and I expect them to get the win making this series 2-1. The Warriors have won 3 games in a row now but all of those have been on their home court and the last time they played a road game in this postseason was a loss to the Grizzlies in Memphis. Even the Warriors have struggled in their road games in this postseason and every loss they have suffered so far came in road games. The Mavericks did a good job of shutting down the Warriors in the 1st half on their own floor but I expect the Mavericks to do that again and keep it up this time while feeding off the energy from the crowd. I think Luka and Brunson are both going to have another big game to lead the team to a win here and I expect them both to have a better 2nd half too. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread in this game and get 1 back in the series here. T.M. Prediction: 114-107 Mavericks. |

05-22-22 | Flames v. Oilers +105 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 105 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Sunday. The Oilers looked really good in their most recent game, stealing a road game in the series and now giving themselves the advantage as they go back to Edmonton for the next 2 games. The Oilers won the previous game 5-3 after trailing early in that game just like they were trailing early in the 1st game against the Flames. They fell behind by 4 goals in that 1st game but managed to come back and tie the game just to lose it in the end. They still put in a great effort in that game with 6 goals, they just needed a better effort from their goalkeeper. They got that better effort in the 2nd game though and scored 5 goals to win that game, again coming back from behind. The Oilers are at home now and I think they are going to be the team to try and jump ahead early in this game on their home ice. Markstrom hasn't looked good for the Flames in any of these games and he hasn't even faced a lot of shots either. The Stars didn't pepper him with a lot of shots in their 1st series either and he still had games where he gave up a lot of goals. He hasn't really been tested in the postseason until now and he looks like he is cracking under the pressure here. Mike Smith had a much better game, he did give up 2 quick goals in that 2nd game again, but once he got calmed down with his nerves he looked a lot better for the rest of the game. I think Markstrom is going to let the Flames down in this game, he just had 2 terrible games on home ice and now has to play in 2 road games with a much more hostile environment. The 1st line for the Oilers has woken up too and is starting to get really hot in these games with goals. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Oilers. |

T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The Dodgers have looked really good lately winning 7 games in a row now. They swept the Diamondbacks in 4 games and they have won the 1st 2 games of this series against the Phillies. I think they are going to be looking for the sweep here and I expect them to still have a bad taste in their mouths from their previous series with the Phillies. They just saw the Phillies about a week ago and they lost 3/4 games to them in their own ballpark, only winning the final game of that series. That win started the 7 game run they are on at the moment though and they will be looking to sweep the Phillies in this last game, getting their revenge for that other series a week ago. The Phillies haven't really looked that great lately with 3 losses in a row and they went on to lose their previous series to the Padres after beating the Dodgers in that series. They have been slipping in those games lately and I think they are going to continue to slip in this game too. Zach Eflin (1-3, 3.90 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he hasn't had a terrible year but he hasn't been great either. He just pitched a good game only giving up 1 run in 6 innings but he gave up 5 runs in his start before that and has been very up and down with his starts all year. Tony Gonsolin (4-0, 1.64 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has been really consistent with his pitching this year, surprisingly being 1 of the best pitchers the Dodgers have to offer on their rotation here. He hasn't had a bad start this year with not 1 game where he gave up more than 2 runs in it. The team has also won a majority of their games when he starts and I think that is going to continue when he pitches another great game here. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Dodgers. |

05-21-22 | Heat +6.5 v. Celtics | 109-103 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Saturday. The Heat didn't look good in their most recent game, losing the 2nd game of this series by 20+ points on their home court. I think they are a bit embarrassed by that performance and I expect them to give a much better effort in this game. Marcus Smart returned for the Celtics in the previous game and he made a big difference for them since the Celtics dominated on defense but I think the Heat will bounce back here and they should get some extra help with Kyle Lowry likely returning to the starting rotation for this game. The Heat still looked really good in the 1st game of this series and they haven't been terrible in their road games this postseason either. I think with Lowry back here, the Heat will be much better both offensively and defensively but even if he doesn't make it into the lineup tonight, I still think the Heat are going to try and bounce back here with a strong defensive effort in this road game. The Celtics have been really up and down this postseason, either blowing teams out in their wins or getting blown out in their losses. The Heat have been a lot better in that sense since they have lost a few close games, not getting blown out all the time, and they have won a few road games already so I like their chances of keeping this game close with good defense and covering the spread here. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 106-103 Celtics. |

05-21-22 | Avalanche v. Blues OVER 6.5 | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Avalanche/Blues OVER. I am on the over in the Colorado Avalanche vs St Louis Blues game on Saturday. This series is tied up at 1-1 at the moment but both of these games have been on the lower scoring end so far. This has been the complete opposite from their regular season games with all of them being high scoring and going over the posted totals for those games. I think this is going to be a high scoring affair though and I expect both teams to find the net here, turning this into a higher scoring game. The Avalanche just lost their 1st game of the postseason this year and I think they are going to be looking to bounce back after that loss on home ice. The Blues are still missing some of their top defensemen for this game and I think that will start to play a part here in this game. The Avalanche will be looking to score goals quickly so they don't fall behind like in the previous game and I think they will find holes in the Blues defense here. The Avalanche are also missing a defensemen though and their starting goalkeeper, Darcy Kuemper, is dealing with his eye injury so he may not be playing at his best in this series. I expect both teams to be more aggressive here since this is an important game to take a 2-1 lead in the series and I see this being a close game that both teams fight hard to win in. I see there being goals in this game so I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Avalanche. |

05-21-22 | Braves -135 v. Marlins | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. The Braves took the 1st game of this series and I think they are going to take another game here since they have looked really good lately and have been putting up a lot of runs in their games. The Marlins haven't looked good lately losing 2 games in a row but they just came out of a little slump and have been winning more games lately but they still haven't looked great in those games. Kyle Wright (3-2, 2.79 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has been having a great year. He had 1 bad start this year but he bounced back in his previous start and he has looked great in every other game he has pitched in. Elieser Hernandez (2-3, 6.15 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he hasn't looked great in their games lately. He hasn't pitched well in a lot of games this year and he has been consistently bad in his starts, with not a single start this year where he didn't give up a run at all. He has given up 3+ runs in a majority of his starts this year and in a lot of those games he has been giving up 4+ runs. I think he is going to pitch another bad game here and he has already had 1 against the Braves earlier this year. He gave up 5 runs in his start against the Braves earlier this year and that was also the game that he gave up the most hits in this year. He has also had an issue with striking batters out in his most recent starts and I think he is going to struggle to get out of innings in this game since the Braves have been hitting and scoring a lot more lately. I think this is going to be another win for the Braves here, I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Braves. |

05-20-22 | Oilers +157 v. Flames | 5-3 | Win | 157 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Friday. The Oilers lost the 1st game of this series in a really high scoring affair, losing that game 9-6. The Oilers didn't really get a good start in that game, more specifically their goalkeeper Mike Smith who was pulled in the 1st period after giving up 3 quick goals on his 1st 10 shots faced. Koskinen wasn't great either since he still gave up double the goals but it was a really bad night for all goalkeepers in that game since even Markstrom gave up 6 goals himself and he didn't face a ton of shots from the Oilers either. I still think the Oilers looked good on offense in that game though. They were down 5-1 in that game and they managed to come back and tie the game 6-6. They still gave up 3 goals after that but I expect Mike Smith to have a better game here and not get pulled this time around. The Oilers showed that they can compete with the Flames and score enough goals to keep up with them. I think they just need a better performance from their goalie here and the Oilers can steal a road game here. These cities are really close to each other so the rivalry here is a big one and I think the Oilers aren't going to let this series get to 2-0 for their 2 home games. I expect the Oilers to be better defensively and I expect Mike Smith to have a better game too. I think the Oilers have the offensive power to outscore the Flames here and I expect them to take a game back to tie this series up. I like the Oilers to win this game here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oilers. |

05-20-22 | Mavs v. Warriors -6 | Top | 117-126 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Friday. The Warriors looked really good in the 1st game of this series. They dominated the Mavericks right from the beginning of that game, taking a 10+ point lead by the end of the 1st quarter and hanging on to that lead, outscoring the Mavericks in 3/4 of the quarters in that game. I think the Warriors are hungry for another title this year after the way things have gone for them over the past few years with injury and I don't think they are going to waste this opportunity now that they are so close. They have looked great on their home court in this postseason and I see them having another strong start in this game, dominating it from the beginning again. The Mavericks didn't even put up 100+ points in the 1st game and that has been a bit of a common theme for them in the postseason now. They had 2/3 of their road games in their 1st series against the Jazz where they didn't put up 100+ points and now they have failed to even put up 90+ points in 2/3 of their previous 3 road games. I think the Mavericks are going to struggle in this road game yet again and I expect another great defensive effort from the Warriors here. The Warriors are dangerous because they have great defensive players on their team but they also shoot the 3 really well and I think the Warriors will put the Mavericks in a hole again with that great defense and then extend the gap with their ability from the arc. I see this being another dominant effort from the warriors on their home court here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 116-92 Warriors. |

05-20-22 | Rangers v. Astros -1.5 | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros -1.5. I like the Houston Astros runline in this game against the Texas Rangers on Friday. The Astros have looked great in their games lately. They have gone on a big run where they have only lost a few games during that time but a majority of their wins have been by 2+ runs. They are scoring a lot of runs in their games and hitting the ball really well, I think that they can take this game in their own ballpark and I expect them to be motivated here considering the Texas rivalry between these 2 teams. The Rangers just swept the Angels in 3 games but they were starting to slip in their series before against the Red Sox. They have already lost the 1st game of this series and I see this game going the same way since the Astros have really gotten into a groove now. Cristian Javier (2-1, 3.20 ERA) is up for the Astros here and he hasn't had many starts this year but has had a majority of his appearances in games out of the bullpen and he has been pretty good this year. He has only given up 2 runs total in 6 games he has played in but it was his most recent start that he didn't look good at all in and gave up 7 runs in less than 4 innings of that game. He has been really good this year overall though and I think he is going to bounce back with a better performance here. Martin Perez (2-2, 2.01 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he has looked great all year in his 7 starts, giving up 3 runs each in his 1st 2 starts of the year and giving up no more than 1 in his 5 starts after that. I think he has been pitching great this year but he hasn't had a bad game yet and I think there is 1 brewing for him here. He faced the Astros earlier this year already but they weren't as hot as they are now and I think he is running into them at the wrong time here. I expect the Astros to stay hot here and continue posting big numbers in their games. I like the Astros runline here. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. |

05-19-22 | Blues v. Avalanche -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colorado Avalanche -1.5. I like the Colorado Avalanche puckline in this game against the St Louis Blues on Thursday. The Avalanche looked really good in that 1st game of this series. They needed OT to win that game but they really dominated the Blues for a majority of that game and they peppered the net with 50+ shots too. The Blues may have tied it up late to send it to OT but the Avalanche spent a majority of that game in the Blues' zone and they deserved to win that game in the end. I think this game is going to be much easier for the Avs now that they have had a feel for the Blues in this series and I expect them to come out even stronger on offense in this game to bury the Blues here. The Blues are still missing 2 of their top defensemen here and I think that is going to play a factor here with the Avalanche being so good on home ice lately. The Blues looked good in their previous series but now they are playing the leaders of the West and they swept the Predators in the 1st round for good reason. The Avalanche were hot going into the playoffs and they have continued that with a 5-0 record in this postseason already. The Blues also struggled against the Avs all year, losing a majority of their games against each other and I think this game is going to be similar. The Avalanche were scoring a ton of goals in the 1st round and I expect them to get back to that here with a dominant performance on their home ice here. I like the Avalanche puckline here to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Avalanche. |

05-19-22 | Celtics v. Heat UNDER 207.5 | 127-102 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Celtics/Heat UNDER. I am on the under in the Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat game on Thursday. The Celtics looked really good defensively for the 1st half of that 1st game against the Heat but they started to fall apart in the 2nd half which led to their loss in that game. They still had a very good defensive effort in the 1st half and were making it very difficult for the Heat to score. I think they are going to work hard to have that same defensive effort in this game but I also expect them to keep it up for the entire game since they saw how it could get away from them when they started to slip on defense. Marcus Smart should be returning for this game too and he is the best defensive player on the team so I think their defensive effort will be even better in this game than it was in the 1st game. The Heat ended up winning that 1st game with a dominant effort in the 2nd half but they didn't look very good in the 1st half and were trailing big the whole time. They played a lot better on defense in the 2nd half though and were able to make their comeback, taking the lead and never looking back. I think the Celtics are going to try harder here to not let that happen again, blowing a 10+ point lead like that and I think they would have had a better chance maintaining it with Smart in their rotation like he should be here. I think he is what they need to keep this a defensive game and defense is the strength of the Heat so I expect them to match the defensive effort by the Celtics on their home court here. I see this being a much lower scoring game now that the 2 teams know what they are playing againt in this series and I expect a great defensive effort from both teams here. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 99-92 Heat. |

05-19-22 | Padres -102 v. Phillies | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. The Padres have split the 1st 2 games of this series with the Phillies and are going for the series win here. I think the Padres can take this game and the series here since they have looked really good in their games lately. The Phillies have looked good in their games lately too but I think the pitching matchup is more favorable for the Padres here and I expect them to take this road game. Yu Darvish (3-1, 4.62 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has had a pretty good year so far. He hasn't pitched great in his starts lately but he has also had some gems this year and I think he will bounce back in this game with a much better performance. The team is also finding success with him as a starter this year since his team has won 5 games in a row with him starting. Kyle Gibson (3-1, 4.10 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he hasn't been great in a lot of his starts this year. He just gave up 6 runs in his most recent start, pitching less than 4 innings in that game and I think he is going to have another bad performance here since he has been up and down all year with his pitching. The Padres have also looked really good hitting the ball this year and have been putting up a ton of runs in a lot of their games. The Phillies have been batting well lately but they have been very up and down with their batter this year and could go cold at anytime. I think this is a good game for the Padres to win. I like the Padres to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Padres. |

05-18-22 | Mavs v. Warriors OVER 214.5 | 87-112 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks/Warriors OVER. I am on the over in the Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors game on Wednesday. The Mavericks looked really good in their road games against the Suns in the previous round. They put up 109+ points in 3/4 of their road games in that series and I think they are going to play with a more offensive mindset in this game too. The Mavericks have looked good on defense in this postseason but they have also looked a lot better on their home court with their defensive play, resorting to a more offensive effort in their road games where they are trying to put up more points. They won't have the advantage here in this road game so I expect them to come with a more offensive effort to keep themselves in this game and keep the score close against this very strong team that plays their best basketball on their home court. The Warriors looked great in their previous series too, taking out the 2nd seed in only 6 games. They put up 100+ points in all 3 of their home games too, even putting up 140+ points in 1 of those games. I think they are also going to play more offensively here and try to jump out to an early lead where they can try to bury the Mavericks here. I don't think the Mavericks are going to go down that easily though, especially after that impressive performance in Phoenix in game 7 of their previous series. I expect the warriors to win this game on their home court but I think the Mavericks will put up a good fight to keep this a close game and I see the Warriors scoring a ton of points here to try and win this game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 121-115 Warriors. |
|||||||
05-18-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -159 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Wednesday. The Hurricanes looked good in their previous series against the Bruins, they didn't win any of their road games in that series but they did win all of their home games in a dominant fashion. I think the Hurricanes are going to dominate another game on their home ice here and I expect the Rangers to struggle against them here. The Rangers didn't play great in their road games against the Penguins in their previous series. They ended up stealing a road game back in game 6 after dropping a home game early in the series but their 1st 2 road games in that series were pathetic and they gave up 7 goals in both games, Shesterkin getting pulled in both games. Shesterkin was a great goalie this year, 1 of the best in the league, but he has already shown that he can fall apart here in the playoffs, specifically in road games, and I think there is a good possibility it happens here too. The Hurricanes were a much better team all year, finishing in 1st place in their division, but they played their best games on home ice and they showed that in their previous series when they blew out the Bruins in most of those home games. The Hurricanes also won a majority of their games against the Rangers this year during the regular season, and I don't see that script being any different here in this series. The Hurricanes can score a lot of goals on home ice and if the Rangers give up some early goals here doing down early in the game like they have been doing lately, I don't think they will be able to come back. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. |

05-18-22 | Braves v. Brewers -130 | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 2 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. Both of these teams have already won a game in this series which means the winner of this game will be the winner of the series. Both games were very low scoring but I think the Brewers are going to be the team to come away with this home win. They looked really good before this series and I think their bats are going to get hot here after a game where they didn't even score a run. The Braves have been cooling off lately and haven't really scored a ton of runs in their 3 most recent games. Max Fried (4-2, 3.14 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has been good this year but he has looked a bit shaky in his most recent starts, even giving up 4 runs in his previous start. He also faced the Brewers in their previous series against them where he pitched a great game going 7 innings deep in their home ballpark but I think this game is going to be different for him here. Corbin Burnes (1-2, 1.77 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has looked great all year. He has been their best starter in the rotation this year and hasn't given up more than 2 runs in a game this year except for 1, his 1st start of the year. I think he is going to pitch great again in this game since he has been great all year and I don't see the Brewers losing this game or the series in their own ballpark here. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Brewers. |

05-17-22 | Blues v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -127 | 11 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blues/Avalanche OVER. I am on the over in the St Louis Blues vs Colorado Avalanche game on Tuesday. The Blues looked really good in the final 3 games of their series against the Wild. They have won 3 games in a row now to end that series and they scored 5 goals in all of those games. The Blues have always played the Avalanche tough and all of their games against each other this year saw 7+ goals in them total, with the Blues scoring 3+ goals in all of those. The Avalanche are very hot at the moment, sweeping the Predators in the 1st round with 3/4 of those games seeing 7+ goals in them. The Avalanche even scored 7+ goals themselves in 2 of those and had 5+ goals in 3 of them. This series won't be as easy as the previous for them, the Blues were very hot near the end of the regular season and they have done this before over the past few years where they really get hot in the postseason. I think the Blues are going to score goals on the Avalanche here and keep this a close game with a chance to win it for themselves. The Blues are also missing a lot of their starting defensemen though and that is going to become an issue in this series. The Avalanche have a really good offense and they would've scored goals with the Blues healthy. Now that the Blues are weaker on defense I think it will be even easier for the Avalanche to score goals on them here and I see them getting a few on home ice. I think the Blues are going to be playing from behind in this game too and I expect them to pour on their offense to stay in the game. I see this game having lots of goals here, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Avalanche. |

05-17-22 | Celtics v. Heat -1.5 | 107-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Tuesday. The Celtics didn't look that great in their previous series in a lot of those games. They eliminated the defending champions in 7 games but they were trailing 3 different times in that series and had to really step up on their home court in that last game of the series. They looked really good in that previous game but I think they are going to be met with better defense in this series and the Heat have looked great on their home court all year. The Heat looked really good in their previous series, only needing 6 games to eliminate the 76ers and they never trailed once in that series. The Heat haven't trailed in a series once in this entire postseason and they have really been taking advantage of their home games, taking a 2-0 lead in every series they've played. I think the Heat are going to continue that here and win this game on their home court with a great defensive effort. They have looked great on defense in both of their series and they have looked great on defense all year. The Heat have some banged up players here too but they have been playing through those injuries in these games and have still looked great. I expect them to shut down the Celtics here and I see Jimmy Butler having a big game here on their home court. The Heat were 1st place in the East for a reason and they have shown their defensive dominance in this postseason so far. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 106-97 Heat. |

05-17-22 | Braves v. Brewers OVER 8 | 3-0 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Braves/Brewers OVER. I am on the over in the Atlanta Braves vs Milwaukee Brewers game on Tuesday. These 2 just played a series with each other a week ago and that series had 2/3 of the games see 9+ runs in them. The Braves had gone 6 games in a row with 8+ runs in their games before losing 1-0 in their most recent game, the 1st of this series against the Brewers. The Brewers have been in the same boat as the Braves with 6/7 of their previous 7 games seeing 8+ runs before their 1-0 win over the Braves on Monday. Both teams have been putting up a lot of runs though and I think this game is going to see a ton after a game like yesterday where neither team really did much in the game. Tucker Davidson (0-0, 16.88 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he is getting his 1st start of the year here. He has only made 1 appearance this year coming out of the bullpen back on April 11 and he pitched less than 3 innings while giving up 5 runs in that game. He didn't look good in that game and after having such a long layoff here, I expect him to go out there and throw another dud for them. Adrian Houser (3-3, 3.86 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he hasn't looked good in his starts this year. He has given up 3+ runs in 3/4 of his previous 4 starts and his 2 most recent starts were by far his worst of the year. He gave up 12 runs in his 2 most recent starts, getting charged with 7 of those, but he has put too many players on base this year and is costing his team chances to win with dangerous innings where he gets himself into trouble early and has to dig his way out. I think these 2 pitchers are going to each throw a bad game here and both will be what these lineups need to spark some offense again in this game. I see this being a high scoring game so I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Brewers. |

05-16-22 | Mariners v. Blue Jays -149 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Seattle Mariners on Monday. The Blue Jays have lost 4 series in a row now and haven't looked great in their games lately but I think they are going to break out of their funk here and win this game to get back on track after what was a pretty good start to the year. The Mariners have a losing record at the moment, they just won their most recent series against the Mets but that was their 1st series win after losing 5 series in a row. They haven't looked great in their games lately either and I think they are just what the Blue Jays need to break out of their funk and get a series win at home here. Chris Flexen (1-5, 4.24 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has been terrible this year with a decision in all 6 of the games he has started in and only grabbing 1 win out of those. He has given up 5+ hits in 5/6 starts this year and he's not striking out a lot of batters either. He has consistently given up runs in every start this year and just gave up 6 runs in his most recent start. He has been letting a lot of batters get on base against him this year and I think the Blue Jays will make him pay for that here in their ballpark. I think he is going to pitch another bad game for the Mariners here and will spark the Blue Jays offense which has already been picking up a bit lately. Yusei Kikuchi (1-1, 4.15 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he hasn't had a great start to the year either but he didn't give up more than 2 runs in his previous 2 starts and he looked a lot better in those games. I think he is going to continue to get better with each start and I expect him to pitch another good game here. I think this is a good spot for the Blue Jays to bust out of their funk and get a win here. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Blue Jays. |

05-15-22 | Mavs +6.5 v. Suns | Top | 123-90 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Phoenix Suns in this game on Saturday. The Mavericks looked really good in their most recent game against the Suns and I think they are going to put up another great performance in this game. The Mavericks have looked good in a majority of their road games in these playoffs but this has also been a very home dominated series. The Mavericks still put up a good fight back in the 1st game and I think with this being game 7 in the series, they are going to put everything on the line here to try and win this game but I think they will at least keep it close even if they do lose. Doncic had a great game in their previous game and I think he is going to continue that performance into this game and carry his team here. They also did a really good job on defense to contain Booker and Paul in that game and I think they will give the same defensive effort in this game to try and keep it close. All of the games in this series have been dominated by the home team and in most cases, the home team has won every game by 10+ points. I think this game will be a lot different because it is game 7 and I expect a big defensive effort from both teams since that is what will win this game for either side. I don't know if the Mavericks are going to pull this game out here but all the pressure is on the Suns here to win since they finished the regular season with the best record and even broke franchise records themselves, but the pressure is on and I think the Mavericks can keep this game really competitive right up to the end. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 106-103 Suns. |

05-14-22 | Lightning v. Maple Leafs -120 | 2-1 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Maple Leafs. I like the Toronto Maple Leafs to win this game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. The Leafs have looked great in this series and even though they are going to game 7 here, it feels like this series should already be over. They looked really good in their most recent game, losing 4-3 in OT in Tampa but they clearly looked like the better team in that game and there were some bad calls by the refs which didn't help them at all. I still think the Leafs are the better team though and they have shown to be 1 of the strongest in the East at the moment. I think they will close out this series on home ice here and finally break their playoff curse over the years. The Leafs have been scoring a lot in this series, scoring 3+ goals in every game of the series which is something that the Lightning haven't even done, scoring 2 goals in 1 of the games and even getting shut out in the 1st game of this series. The Leafs have even shown their resiliency in some of these games since they have erased multi-goal deficits multiple times so if they get behind in this game they will come back. I think they are going to take an early lead here though and I expect them to score so many goals that the Lightning just won't be able to come back in this game. I think the Leafs are the stronger team and I expect them to be motivated here to end their curse and kick out the 2 time defending Stanley Cup champions. I like the Leafs to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Leafs. |

05-14-22 | Brewers -120 v. Marlins | Top | 3-9 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. The Brewers have looked good in their games lately and they have been going on big runs, piling up the wins. They just lost their most recent series to the Reds but the Reds have been losing so many games that it was only a matter of time until they got hot, and the Brewers didn't even look bad in that series either since they still put up 5+ runs in all of those games. They just won their most recent game in a more tame 2-1 win over the Marlins but I think they can repeat that here with another great pitching performance and I expect their bats to wake up again since they have been hot lately. The Marlins have lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they have been piling up a lot of losses lately. Trevor Rogers (1-4, 5.00 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and the team hasn't really had much success with him starting this year. He had a good start in his previous game where he didn't give up any runs but he also gave up 5 runs in his start before that previous start and he has had a few of those bad starts this year already. Eric Lauer (3-0, 1.82 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has looked great in his starts this year, being 1 of the best starting pitchers in the Brewers rotation for them this year. He has made 5 starts this year and only gave up 3 runs in his 1st start of the year, with every other start seeing him give up no more than 1 run. I expect him to shut down the Marlins here with a great pitching performance and I think the Brewers' bats will take care of the rest for them. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Brewers. |

05-14-22 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -130 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Saturday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their home games this series, with the home team winning every game of this series. I think that is going to continue in this game with a Hurricanes win here to eliminate the Bruins from the playoffs. Both of these teams have looked good at times in their games but it has become very clear that these 2 teams are struggling to win in road games and I expect the Hurricanes to be the more dominant team here. The Hurricanes have scored 5 goals in every home game of this series and they only gave up 2 goals in 1 of those games, giving up 1 goal in each of the other 2 games. The Bruins have not only had trouble winning their road games in this series, but they have been struggling to even score goals and I think those struggles are going to be their downfall here. The Hurricanes were a better team in their home games than their road games all year and they have been showing that in this series with their 3 big wins in their home games. This game is going to be dominated by the Hurricanes on home ice and I expect them to close out the series with no issues. I like the Hurricanes to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Hurricanes. |

05-13-22 | Giants -115 v. Cardinals | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. The Giants have won 5 games in a row now and just swept the Rockies in their most recent series. Their other 2 wins on this run before that series against the Rockies were both wins against the Cardinals after splitting a 4 game series with them. The Giants have looked a lot better on offense during this time with 4/5 of their previous 5 games having them put up 7+ runs themselves in the game. Their pitching has also been great, only giving up 3 runs total in their previous 2 games. The Cardinals have looked terrible lately, losing 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they just lost their most recent series to the Baltimore Orioles of all teams. They put up 10 runs in 1 of those games and struggled to score in the other 2 games. I think this is going to be another game that the Giants beat the Cardinals in since the Giants have been getting really hot while the Cardinals have been cooling off a lot lately. Logan Webb (4-1, 3.82 ERA) is up for the Giants here and the last team he faced was the Cardinals last week, being awarded with the win in that game and I think he is going to pitch an even better game here. Jordan Hicks (1-2, 3.78 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he hasn't been terrible this year but his team hasn't had a lot of success with him starting in their games either. He hasn't pitched deep into many games either and the Cardinals bullpen really hasn't been great lately either. I think this is a game that the Giants are going to win with great pitching and by scoring a ton of runs on the Cardinals here who have been in a slump lately. I think that slump continues here as the Giants keep getting hot in their games lately. I like the Giants to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Giants. |

05-13-22 | Celtics +1.5 v. Bucks | 108-95 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Friday. The Celtics have looked good in their games lately and I think they are going to take this road game back and even up the series at 3. The Celtics have actually looked better in their road games than in their home games in this postseason, with their biggest loss of this series coming on their home court. They had a really impressive win in Milwaukee and they also lost a very close game there by 2 points. They just lost their previous game on their home court but that loss was by 3 points and they looked really good for most of that game too, dominating up until the 4th quarter where they let it slip away near the end. The Celtics have still shown that they aren't going to be slowed down in their road games and even in their previous series against the Nets, they won all 4 games but the games were much closer on their home court in that series while they dominated the road games in Brooklyn. The 1st 2 games in this series were complete blowouts, 1 by each team, but the 3 most recent games and have been much closer and really, both teams had a chance to win all of those games. I think the Celtics are going to show their strength here once again and I expect a great defensive effort from them in this game. The Bucks are also dealing with a thin rotation and I expect all those injuries to catch up to them at some point too. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here and even up this series 3-3. T.M. Prediction: 104-99 Celtics. |

05-13-22 | Rangers v. Penguins +110 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the New York Rangers on Friday. The Penguins lead this series 3-2 with a chance to close it out on home ice here and I think they are going to get the job done here. Unlike the rangers, the Penguins have been in this situation many times over the years and they have the veteran experience on their team over the rangers will help them to end the Rangers in this game. The Rangers won the most recent game in the series 5-3 on their home ice but that was a game that they trailed 2-0 in early and then had to make a comeback just to get the win and keep their playoff dream alive. The Penguins dominated the Rangers in their 2 games played in Pittsburgh and those games weren't even close at all. The Penguins scored 7 goals on the Rangers in both home games and Igor Shesterkin had to be pulled in both games. He looked better in their most recent game but that was on home ice and even then he still looked shaky with some of the goals he let in. Shesterkin looked rattled in their 2 games in Pittsburgh and there is a good chance that he will unravel again here due to the lack of playoff experience and lack of confidence in himself. If the Rangers can't rely on their goaltending here then they will have a mountain to climb in this game and even in their previous 2 games in Pittsburgh, they got the jump on the Rangers early and scored really quickly to take a big lead. I think this is going to be the end of the line here for the rangers. I like the Penguins to win this game and the series. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Penguins. |

05-12-22 | Oilers -135 v. Kings | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the LA Kings on Thursday. The Oilers have looked really good in this series and I think they are going to bounce back with a win in this game to even up the series 3-3. They are down 3-2 in the series going into LA and I think they will turn on the jets here to with their backs against the wall in this series. The Oilers have looked like the better team in almost every game of this series too. Their 2 wins came in blowout fashion with a 6-0 win and an 8-2 win over the Kings. The Kings only had 1 game in this series where they dominated with a 4-0 win while their other 2 wins were both really close games that the Kings won in OT. Those games could have gone very differently and even if 1 of them was a win for the Oilers, they would have the Kings backed up on their heels here. I still think the Oilers are the better team here and I see them forcing a game 7 here with a win. The Kings struggled to beat the Oilers all year, going 1-3 against the Oilers during the regular season and the game they won was at the beginning of the year. I think the Oilers have way more talent on their team and they have already shown that they can destroy the Kings with their 2 wins coming by those big margins. The Kings have jumped on the Oilers early in the previous 2 games which set them back from the start in those games but I think with the Oilers facing elimination here, they will come out fast and strong trying to get an early goal and once they get a lead in the game, I expect them to keep it. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Oilers. |

05-12-22 | Phillies v. Dodgers -135 | 9-7 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. The Dodgers just lost their most recent series to the Pirates, losing 2/3 of those games and that is a very embarrassing loss for a team like the Dodgers. I think they are going to be upset over that loss and the last time they lost to the Pirates like that they ended up beating them 11-1 in the next game. I think they are going to be looking to take their anger out on the Phillies and they should have a much better chance of winning with their starter here. Tyler Anderson (3-0, 2.78 ERA) has been having a great start to the year and he hasn't been credited with a loss yet. He has been pitching great with a few starts and a few relief appearances this year but he hasn't given up more than 2 runs in any of the games he has pitched in. I think he is going to have another great outing here and the Phillies haven't really been the team they were supposed to be this year either. The Phillies just won 2/3 games against the Mariners but they had a terrible series with the Mets before that, even blowing a 7-1 lead in the 9th inning with their terrible bullpen blowing that game. Zack Wheeler (1-3, 4.10 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and his team hasn't really had much success this year with him starting. He has pitched a lot better in his 2 most recent starts, giving up no runs in either of those games but he also didn't face any really strong lineups in those games either. He has already had a few bad performances this year in his 1st 3 starts and I think he is going to have another bad start here against this strong Dodgers lineup. I expect the Dodgers to bounce back here, I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. |

05-12-22 | Heat v. 76ers -2 | 99-90 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Thursday. The Heat lead this series 3-2 but the home team has won every game of the series so far, and I think this game is going to be no different than the others. None of these games have really been close with the home team blowing out the road team in every game and I think that will continue here with a 76ers win on their home court, extending this series to 7 games. Joel Embiid got banged up even more in their previous game but he will be playing here and I expect him to make the same impact he has been making for his team in their home games here. Kyle Lowry missed the previous game and he will be missing this game too which I think will help the 76ers control the pace of the game a bit better. In 3/5 of these games in this series, the road team hasn't even put up 100+ points and it seems that whoever the home team is at the time, tends to play better defense on their home court. The 76ers are facing elimination in this game knowing they still need to take a road game in the series if they want to win it but their focus will be on winning this home game and I expect players like Embiid and Harden to step up here and give their team the best chance to win this game and extend the series. The Heat have looked great on defense in their home games and that is really how they have been winning their games in this series, with a good defensive effort. Jimmy Butler hasn't even been doing a lot on offense in their home games and he isn't getting a lot of contribution from his teammates either. I think this is going to be another game where the defensive effort dominates and I expect the 76ers to be much better on their home court and shut the Heat down here. I like the 76ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-98 76ers. |

05-11-22 | Capitals v. Panthers -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 110 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Panthers -1.5. I like the Florida Panthers puckline in this game against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday. The Panthers evened up the series in their most recent game getting their home advantage back in this series and now have a chance to take the series lead on home ice in this game. The Panthers have already shown glimpses of that killer team they were all regular season in the 2nd game of this series when they evened it up 1-1 with a big bounce back win 5-1 on home ice. They stepped up then to even it up 1-1 and then stumbled in Washington but stepped up again in their previous game to even it up once more at 2-2 and I think they will step up again here coming back home for a chance to take the lead. Their goaltending has been hit or miss in this series but it was a lot better in that previous game and their defensive effort overall was great since the Capitals didn't really get a lot of shots on net in that game. It took a big effort from the Panthers to tie the game with the pulled goalie and then force an OT where they won the game. I think they will have all the momentum on their side here coming home and I expect the home crowd to energize them here. They have put the pressure back on the Capitals to steal another road game and I think that they will play more like they did in the 2nd game of this series, winning it with a big home effort. The Panthers showed us all year that they have the offense to compete with anyone in the league and after their previous game, they have shown a great defensive ability too. I expect this to be a big game for the Panthers to step up in and I see them answering the call tonight. I like the Panthers puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Panthers. |

05-11-22 | Mets -172 v. Nationals | 3-8 | Loss | -172 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Mets. I like the New York Mets to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. The Mets have won 2 games in a row now but they have been rolling all year and are 1 of the teams with the most wins in the league at the moment. They just won their previous series over the Phillies with some crazy endings to those games and they won the 1st game of this series too, again with a late comeback in that game where they erased a 2-0 deficit. The Mets have shown time and time again this year that there is no deficit they can't overcome in a game but it's not just their batters that are performing great, their pitching staff has also been having a great year. The Nationals are on the opposite end of the division at the moment in last place with the reverse record of the Mets and I think the Mets are only going to grow their lead in the division with this game. The Nationals have lost 2 games in a row now but they only have the 1 win in their previous 7 games and I think they will just extend their losing skid here. Aaron Sanchez (1-2, 8.56 ERA) is up for the Nats in this game and he has only pitched in 3 games this year but he has been terrible in all of them. He has given up 3+ runs in every start and just gave up 7 runs in his most recent game. He hasn't gone very deep in games either since he has only made it 5 full innings 1 time and I think this is going to be another game where he gets beat up on early. Tylor Megill (4-1, 2.43 ERA) is up for the Mets here and the Mets have had a lot of success with him pitching in their games. He has given up more than 2 runs in 4/6 of his starts and I think he is going to continue to pitch well here. I expect the Mets to get an early jump on Sanchez here with the way he's been pitching this year and I think this will be a game where the Mets put up a lot of runs. I like the Mets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Mets. |

05-11-22 | Bucks v. Celtics UNDER 214 | 110-107 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Celtics UNDER. I am on the under in the Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics game on Wednesday. This has been a really low scoring series in the 1st 3 games, the most recent game had a bit more scoring in it but this has been a really defensive series so far and I think that is going to continue in this game. The 1st 2 games of this series saw only 1 team put up 100+ points in each of those games. Both teams looked a lot better in the previous 2 games with both putting up 100+ points in each game but the 3rd game still went under and I think both teams will try to be more defensive here the deeper this series goes. The Celtics did a good job defending the Bucks in their previous game since he didn't get a lot of help on offense in that game and I think with the Celtics being on their home court here, they will bite down on defense and try to suffocate the Bucks here to take a series lead going back to Milwaukee. Tatum still had a big game for the Celtics but so did Horford unexpectedly and I think the Bucks will give a better defensive effort in this road game to make sure that doesn't happen again so they don't find themselves down in the series going home. The 1st 2 games of this series were blowouts but the previous 2 games were a lot closer in score and I think that this series will stay close as they go deeper and I expect both teams to turn it up on defense to win those 2 games to close out the series. I expect this game to be more defensive so I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 104-99 Celtics. |

05-10-22 | Kings v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | 5-4 | Win | 103 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kings/Oilers OVER. I am on the over in the LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers game on Tuesday. This series has seen some really high scoring affairs lately with 3/4 of their games so far seeing 6+ goals in them but 3 of their games have also been very one sided. Only the 1st game was a close affair with the Kings taking that game 4-3, while the other 3 games were 6-0, 8-2, and 4-0 wins. I think this game will be another high scoring affair like the others in this series but after 3 one sided games like that, I expect this game to be a lot like the 1st with a much closer score as the 2 teams are settled in now at 2-2 in the series. This game is huge for both teams as the winner will have the other on the brink of elimination going back to LA and neither team want to be in that position whether it be a home or road game for them. I think both teams are going to go hard in this game and I see it having multiple lead changes as both teams fight to take this all important game. Both of these teams have been scoring a ton of goals in this series and I don't see that changing here. The Oilers will be upset off a shut out loss in LA and will try to strike early in this game with lots of goals being on home ice here. The Kings will also be trying to avoid the elimination situation here and will come out hard in this game to try and take the series back home with a lead and a chance to kick the Oilers out on home ice. I think both teams will bring their best game here. I see another high scoring affair here, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers. |

05-10-22 | 76ers v. Heat -3 | 85-120 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Philadelphia 76ers in this game on Tuesday. The 76ers just evened up the series 2-2 and so far, this has been a very home dominated series with the home team winning all 4 games, and I think the result here will be the same. The home team has been so dominant in this series that each win has been by 10+ points except for the most recent game which was only an 8 point win for the 76ers. The offense looked a lot better for the Heat in that game than they did in the 3rd game and I think the Heat will play much better in this home game. Embiid was missing for the 1st 2 games of this series but the Heat still won those home games by almost 20+ points and even though I think he will make an impact here, I still think that Butler will guide his team to victory on their home court after the performance he just put up in their previous road game. While Embiid missed the 1st 2 games of this series, Lowry missed them too for the Heat and now that he has been back for 2 road games with the team, I'm expecting him to get back into his groove here and have a much bigger impact on their home court here. I think the Heat look a lot better on the defensive end in their games too and I expect their home defense to be a big part of this game. I think the home team is going to dominate another game in this series and I see the Heat taking a 3-2 series lead here. I like the Heat to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 109-101 Heat. |

05-10-22 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Pirates | 11-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers -1.5. I like the LA Dodgers runline against the Pittsburgh Pirates in this game on Tuesday. The Dodgers have looked really good in their games lately. They just swept their 2 most recent series, 2 games against the Giants and 3 games against the Cubs, but they lost their most recent game to the Pirates in the 1st of this series. Urias held it together for most of that game only giving up the 1 run for the 1st 6 innings but it wasn't enough since the Dodgers would end up taking a 5-1 loss in that game anyway. The Dodgers shouldn't be losing games like that to teams as bad as the Pirates are and I think they are going to be sour from that loss, coming to play much harder in this game. They have a really strong batting lineup and I think after a dud like that yesterday, they are going to get after the Pirates here. Bryse Wilson (0-1, 3.79 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he has pitched well in his 2 most recent games but those were both relief appearances and in the 3 games he started in, he gave up 3+ runs in 2/3 of those games. Whether he is starting or coming out of the bullpen this year, he hasn't lasted long in many of his games, pitching no more than 4 innings in any of his games played. I think the Dodgers are going to get to him here for a lot of runs in this game. Tony Gonsolin (2-0, 1.64 ERA) is up for the Dodgers and he has looked great all year. He has been pitching even better than he did last year and in 5 starts this year, he has only had 1 start where he gave up more than 1 run and that was a start where he gave up 2 runs. I think he is going to have another great start here and I expect him to keep the Pirates off the board while the Dodgers do their thing on offense. I like the Dodgers runline here. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Dodgers. |

05-09-22 | Grizzlies +10.5 v. Warriors | 98-101 | Win | 100 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis Grizzlies. I like the Memphis Grizzlies to cover the spread against the Golden State Warriors in this game on Monday. The Grizzlies looked good in the 1st 2 games of this series but they just lost their most recent game by 30 points to the Warriors in their 1st road game of the series. Ja Morant got hurt in that game and he will not be in the lineup for this game but the Grizzlies had a very good record during the regular season without Ja Morant in the lineup and I think they can bounce back here and put up a much better performance to keep this game closer at least. Ja Morant led the team in scoring in their previous game but it didn't do them any good since they lost by 30 points and he didn't really get a lot of offensive contribution from his teammates either. I think with his presence gone in this game, his team will step up here and play some good team ball, hitting the Warriors with a new strategy and style of play that they wouldn't have seen in the 1st 3 games. I think this Morant injury will give them a bit of an advantage here since they were still really good during the season without him and their new approach to this game could throw the Warriors off too since they will have to adjust to defending them. The Grizzlies finished as the 2nd seed for a reason and I don't think they are just going to give up here, especially after that embarrassment in the previous game. I expect them to come back stronger in this game and I think they will keep it close enough with even a chance to still win the game. I like the Grizzlies to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 114-109 Warriors. |

05-09-22 | Phillies v. Mariners OVER 7.5 | 9-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Phillies/Mariners OVER. I am on the over in the Philadelphia Phillies vs Seattle Mariners game on Monday. The Phillies have been involved in some high scoring affairs lately with 2/3 of their previous 3 games seeing 7+ runs in them and I think this is going to be another game with tons of runs in them. The Mariners have been in the same situation with 4/5 of their previous 5 games seeing 7+ runs too. The Mariners have been giving up a ton of runs in these games too since their pitching hasn't been great lately and they don't have a good starter on the bump here either. Chris Flexen (1-4, 3.10 ERA) is up for the Mariners and his club has only won 1/5 of his 5 starts this year. He hasn't been completely terrible in his starts but he has been consistently giving up runs in their games. I think the Phillies have been hitting the ball well lately and I expect them to bring in some runs on the Mariners here. Ranger Suarez (2-1, 4.63 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he has some wins under his belt already but he has been getting a lot of help with lots of runs support from his team in their games and he has also consistently been giving up runs in his starts too, giving up 3+ runs in a majority of his starts. The Phillies have won 4/5 of the 5 games he has started in though and his team has put up 4+ runs themselves in all of those games. The Phillies have ben starting to get a hot a bit lately but I think they need to get a move on or the Mets will start to run away the division. I expect a big effort from the Phillies here to score lots of runs but the Mariners have also looked good in their home ballpark this year and I expect them to put up a good fight too. I see lots of runs being scored in this game so I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Phillies. |

T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames. I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Monday. The Flames are down 2-1 in the series now but it has taken them some time to get into rhythm in the playoffs here. They won the 1st game 1-0 in a very defensive effort by both teams and they played the same way in the 2nd game too but that came back to bite them, losing 2-0 on home ice. Now the home advantage has flipped to the Stars with them taking the 3rd game in a 4-2 win but I think the Flames still looked really good in that game and they dominated it for the 1st 2 periods with their offense finally waking up. They had a bad 3rd period and ended up losing the game but I think they will bounce back here and win this game knowing they need to even up the series before going back home. They only put 2 goals in the net in that game but it was the most goals they have scored in a game of this series so far and I think they will finally break out here with a great offensive effort. They have been getting plenty of shots and scoring chances in their 1st 3 games, they just haven't been converting them into goals but I think that will change here and I expect the Flames to really clamp down knowing they can't go home down 3-1 in the series. The Stars play very defensively in their games but once the Flames start to open up their scoring more, I think it will be hard for Dallas to keep up with them. I like the Flames to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Flames. |

05-09-22 | Celtics +1.5 v. Bucks | 116-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Monday. The Celtics are down 2-1 in the series here and they didn't look great in the 1st game but I think they have bounced back nicely in their previous 2 games and I think they can get the win here to even up the series. They came back in the 2nd game and destroyed the Bucks on their home court after an embarrassing performance in the 1st game and they even looked really good in the 3rd game which they lost in Milwaukee but only by 2 points. The Bucks have also been banged up with some players missing from their starting rotation and Giannis really had to carry them in the previous game with 40+ points. Jaylen Brown looked really good in that game too but Tatum didn't get too involved and they still almost won that game. I think both Tatum and Brown are going to have a much bigger impact in this game and I expect them to take advantage of a weakened Bucks rotation here and steal a road win back since they will need to in order to win the series now. I see the rest of these games in the series being really close like the previous game and I think this will be a game that falls in favor of the Celtics with all of the injuries to the Bucks at the moment. I think they are going to feel the loss of Middleton in this game and it will slowly eat away at the Bucks with Giannis needing to do more and more in each game. I think this is a good opportunity for the Celtics to steal a road game back here and even up the series. I like the Celtics to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 104-101 Celtics. |

05-08-22 | Marlins v. Padres -145 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Miami Marlins on sunday. The Padres have looked really good in their games lately and they even took the 1st 2 games of this series with the Marlins but lost their most recent game. It was a really bad loss too, losing 8-0 but I think they are going to bounce back here. The Marlins have looked terrible lately and that was their 1st win in 7 games since they were on a 6 game losing skid before yesterday's game. The Padres didn't score at all in that game either which makes me think they will play harder today and try to get that win to bounce back after a terrible performance. The Padres have been playing really well lately to the point where they have moved up to 2nd place in the division and are starting to close in on the Dodgers with the same number of wins but more losses still since they've played more games. Joe Musgrove (4-0, 1.97 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has looked great all year, clearly leading this starting rotation with his great pitching this year. He hasn't pitched in a game this year yet where he gave up 3+ earned runs and I think he is going to continue pitching well in this game, keeping the Marlins off the board for a while. Trevor Rogers (1-4, 6.14 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has been having a terrible year already with an ERA over 6 through 5 starts and he has even been credited with 4 losses already too. He just gave up 5 runs in his previous start to the D-Backs and the Padres have a much stronger lineup than the D-Backs. I think the Padres are going to jump out in this game early and I think Musgrove will make it too hard for the Marlins to mount a comeback. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Padres. |

05-08-22 | Suns -1.5 v. Mavs | 101-111 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Phoenix Suns. I like the Phoenix Suns to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. The Mavericks finally got a win in this series, taking the 3rd game on their home court by 9 points but I think the Suns are going to bounce back in this game and take a 3-1 series lead here. Both Paul and Booker weren't too involved in the scoring last time but I think they will both have a better game here and I expect them to lead the Suns to a win in Dallas here. The Suns were very dominant on offense in the 1st 2 games of this series and they only put up 94 points in the 3rd game but their defensive effort was still really good in that game and I think they will win this game with that great effort on defense. Doncic didn't have to do as much in that 3rd game as he did in the 1st 2 since Brunson led the team in scoring and had a very nice game, finally contributing to the offense after being quiet in the 1st 2 games. I think the Suns will try to shut him down on the defensive end though and if they can take him out of this game too, it will be really difficult for the Mavericks to win here with just Doncic carrying the team again. I expect to see some adjustments on defense from the Suns here and I see them bouncing back here and winning this game. I like the Suns to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 102-96 Suns. |

05-08-22 | Hurricanes +115 v. Bruins | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Sunday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games lately but they finally lost their 1st game of this series in Boston in the 3rd game, still keeping their 2-1 lead over them. The Hurricanes still looked good in that game and managed to keep it close near the end, even opening up the scoring in that game too. The Bruins were bound to get a win at home since they are not a bad team but I still think the Hurricanes are the better team here and after playing their 1st game of the series in Boston now, I expect them to make the proper adjustments and bounce back in this game with a win to take a 3-1 series lead. The Hurricanes completely dominated the Bruins in their 2 home games, winning 5-1 and 5-2 in those games. The Hurricanes also dominated the Bruins during the regular season with a 3-0 record against them and 2 of those wins were in Boston too. Not only did they win all of their games against them, but they won 3-0 on home ice, and they won 6-0 and 7-1 in their 2 road games in Boston. The Bruins have struggled with the Hurricanes all year and now that they have gotten their win on home ice in the series, I expect to see the Hurricanes close them out. The Hurricanes are a faster team and they can be just as physical as the Bruins when they want to be. I expect a more physical effort from them here and I think they will get the job done so they can close out the series in their next game on home ice. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Hurricanes. |

05-07-22 | Cardinals v. Giants -136 | 7-13 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Saturday. The Giants have lost 2 games in a row to the cardinals now and they have lost 5 games in a row in general. They haven't scored more than 2 runs in 4 games in a row now and their offense has been very weak during that time but they are still playing a home game here and I think it is time for them to bounce back here since they do have a really good team still with good pitching too. The Cardinals have been on a role lately with 4 wins in a row now but I think the pitching matchup here is more favorable for the Giants. Logan Webb (3-1, 3.26 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has pitched well in his starts this year. He has given up 3 runs in all of his previous 3 starts but he has also been lasting long into games and I think he is going to give them a great outing against the Cardinals here. Steven Matz (3-1, 4.56 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he hasn't had a great start to the year with a few starts where he gave up 4+ runs. He hasn't even faced the strongest lineups either but he did get rocked against the good lineups he faced this year. I think the Giants are going to be a bit desperate for a win here and I expect them to get the job done in their own ballpark here. I like the Giants to break out of their funk and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Giants. |
|||||||
05-07-22 | Rangers v. Penguins +110 | 4-7 | Win | 110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the New York Rangers on Saturday. The Penguins are back on home ice for the next 2 games and right now they have home advantage in the series after stealing game 1 in New York from the Rangers. They have still looked good in both games though, despite losing in their most recent game 5-2, they still played the Rangers very tough and they were in that game until midway through the 3rd period where it started to fall apart for them. I think the Penguins are going to look a lot better on their home ice here and they have a lot more playoff experience on their team than the Rangers do. They already stole a road game in this series and I think they will take advantage of this opportunity to get a grip on the series and take the lead here. Domingue will be their starting goalie in this series until further notice and he looked good in those other 2 games. He still played well for 2 periods but had a bad 3rd period which I think he will recover from here and play a lot better with the home crowd on his side. I like the Penguins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Penguins. |

05-07-22 | Celtics +2 v. Bucks | Top | 101-103 | Push | 0 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Saturday. The Celtics looked a lot better in the 2nd game of this series, evening it up at 1-1 with a win by 10+ points on their home court. Tatum and Brown both looked great as they led the team in that game and the defensive effort was great too since they were able to contain Giannis and didn't really let the other players on the Bucks contribute to the offense a lot. I think the Celtics are going to play with another great defensive effort here since this game will be a road game in a hostile environment and in the 1st round they actually looked better in their 2 road games. They swept the Nets in 4 games but the 2 games that the Nets were closest to winning were the 2 games in Boston. Once the series got back to Brooklyn, the Celtics really dominated and were in control of both games, taking early leads and never giving them away. I think the Celtics are going to do the same here and try to jump out to an early lead and then sustain that lead with a great defensive effort. The Bucks looked great in their last series too, winning that 4-1 but they actually played better in their road games too. The 1 game they lost to the Bulls was a home game and the 2 wins they got in road games in that series were by much larger margins than their home wins. I think Boston had a bad game in the 1st of this series but now that they have bounced back in their most recent game, I expect them to turn the jets on here and dominate this game. They know they have to steal a road game back now to win the series and I think this is a game they can win. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 101-94 Celtics. |

05-06-22 | Suns v. Mavs OVER 219 | 94-103 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Mavericks OVER. I am on the over in the Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks game on Friday. The Suns have already taken the 1st 2 games of this series and both of those games had 220+ total points in them. I think this game is going to be no different and I'm expecting the Mavericks to have be even better offensively here on their home court. The Suns have been hot lately, winning 4 games in a row in the postseason now and they have put up 110+ points in all of those games. Their defensive effort hasn't been great though, they have given up 109+ points in their 3 most recent games and the Mavericks have been a lot better on their home court this year in their games. The Mavericks were a lot better on the defensive end in their previous series, winning most of their games against the Jazz with good defense in low scoring games. They have scored 109+ points in their previous 2 games though and I think they are still going to struggle on the defensive end here against the Suns, even on their own court. The Suns have looked great, Chris Paul has been carrying this team and Booker has jumped right back into action after his injury like he never missed a beat. I think both of those players are going to have another big night leading the Suns, and I expect Doncic to step up here and put up a ton of points for his team to keep up in this game. I think both offenses will keep pushing the other to score more and I'm not expecting a lot of defense in this game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 121-114 Suns. |

05-06-22 | Wild v. Blues -109 | 5-1 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St. Louis Blues. I like the St. Louis Blues to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Friday. The Blues looked great in the 1st game of this series winning that game 4-0 but they got trashed 6-2 in the 2nd game and didn't look that great as the Wild responded well to their previous loss. The Blues are on home ice now though and they already did their job in Minnesota since they needed to win at least 1 road game to take the series and now they have that under their belt. They had 1 bad game in their most recent game but they have still been 1 of the hottest teams in the league over the last month of the regular season and I think they will bounce back on home ice here. The Blues also have more experience in the postseason and I think that will come into to play in this series too. The Blues have been scoring a lot of goals in their games lately too and they already pulled off a shut out in Minnesota in the 1st game. I think the Blues will play a lot better on their home ice here and I expect them to take advantage of thse two home games winning them both. The series in their hands now since the Wild need to steal a road game back from them now but I think the Blues will be a lot better on the defensive end in this game and I think their offense will find ways to score on the Wild here. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Blues. |

05-06-22 | Marlins v. Padres -123 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 15 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Friday. The Padres have looked good in their games lately, winning 3/4 of their previous 4 games and they just took the 1st game of this series over the Marlins 2-1. That was a really low scoring game considering how much both teams have been scoring lately but I think the Padres can hold the Marlins off here again. Yu Darvish (2-1, 4.44 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has looked good in a majority of his starts this year, with only 1 really bad game so far. He has been a lot better lately though with his most recent start being the only 1 in his previous 3 where he gave up more than 1 run. I think he is going to continue to pitch well here and he should get a lot of run support from his team since they have been hitting the ball well and bringing in a lot of runs lately. Sandy Alcantara (2-1, 2.90 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has looked great all year but he finally had his worst start of the year in his most recent game where he gave up 5 runs and I think his armor is starting to show some cracks now. I think he is going to get rocked again here with the padres playing so well lately and I can see the Padres winning 2 in a row over the Marlins here. The Marlins haven't looked great in their games lately, getting swept by the D-Backs in their previous series and the D-Backs are not a very good team. I think the Padres are going to put the Marlins away here, I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Padres. |

05-05-22 | Penguins v. Rangers -152 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers. I like the New York Rangers to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday and even up this series at 1-1. The Rangers lost the 1st game of this series in a long and hard fought battle, losing 4-3 in that game but it took 3 OTs to get that result. I think the Rangers looked really good at the beginning of that game but they started to lose control as the game went on the disallowed goal late in the 3rd period was also a real big momentum killer for them. I think they are going to bounce back in this game though and I expect them to head to Pittsburgh with a series tied at 1-1. The Penguins already had their backup goalie starting in that game with Jarry out and DeSmith even picked up an injury himself in the 2nd OT. The Penguins already announced that their 3rd string goalie, Louis Domingue, will be starting in this game and I think he is going to get beat up on here. He only made 17 saves after coming in the game in the 2nd OT and the Rangers never really challenged him with difficult shots. I think it is going to be a lot different for them in this game though starting from the beginning and the Rangers will have a lot more energy this time compared to facing him in the 2nd and 3rd OTs when they have already played for over 80 minutes at that point. I expect the Rangers to get the jump on him right away in this game and I think they are going to pepper the net with shots here, breaking through Domingue a few times. I don't see the Penguins taking a 2-0 lead here going back home for the next 2 games. I like the Rangers to win this game and even up the series. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Rangers. |

05-05-22 | Blue Jays v. Guardians OVER 8 | 5-6 | Win | 110 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays/Guardians OVER. I am on the over in the Toronto Blue Jays vs Cleveland Guardians game on Thursday. The Blue Jays just lost their 1st series of the year to the Yankees, losing 2/3 of those home games, and all of the games were very low scoring affairs for the Blue Jays since they didn't put up more than 2 runs in any of those games. They had plenty of chances to bring in runs though and they have been 1 of the worst teams in the league this year for batting average with runners in scoring position. The Blue Jays have a really strong lineup though and they are projected to be 1 of the best teams in the AL this year. They will get this ship turned around and I think after a home series like that where they barely scored but had tons of chances, I expect them to bounce back here and start pouring in the runs. It is only a matter of time until they start to get hot in that department and I think they are going to have a big game here to bounce back after losing their 1st series. Aaron Civale (0-2, 10.67 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and the Blue Jays couldn't have asked for a better matchup in this game. Civale has looked terrible in his starts this year, giving up 4+ unearned runs in every start and he has given up 6+ earned runs in his previous 2 starts in a row now. I think he is going to get rocked by the Blue Jays here like he has been all year and I expect the bats to wake up for the Jays with him on the mound. Jose Berrios (2-0, 4.13 ERA) is up for the jays here and he has looked a lot better in his starts lately but he has still looked a bit shaky this year and he hasn't had a start yet where he didn't allow any runs in the game. I think both teams are going to put up runs here with this pitching matchup but I think this is a big game for the Blue Jays to bounce back in and get their offense moving with how bad Civale has looked all year. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 9-3 Blue Jays. |

05-05-22 | Angels -118 v. Red Sox | 8-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. The Angels ended a short losing skid of 2 games yesterday when they beat the Red Sox and that game was really close but in the end, the Red Sox blew up the game with their bullpen. The Red Sox had a 4-3 lead going into the 9th inning and came out tied 4-4. Once the game got to the 10th inning though, the Angels broke it open with 6 runs and put the Red Sox in a position where they basically couldn't win the game after that. The Red haven't looked good this year and they have been losing a lot of their games lately. They keep putting together losing skids while the Angels have been really hot to start the year. Shohei Ohtani (2-2, 4.19 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he is their ace pitcher. He had 1 bad start of his 4 this year but his 2 most recent starts he looked great in and I think he is going to pitch a great game here against the Red Sox who cannot break out of their early season funk. I think Ohtani is going to last at least 6 innings in this game and I don't think he will give up more than 2 runs either. The Angels have been hitting the ball well lately and I expect them to bring in some run support for Ohtani in this game. Rich Hill ( 0-1, 3.71 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he hasn't looked great in their games this year. He hasn't lasted very long in his starts either and I think he will get into trouble here with this lineup and be pulled early anyway. I think there is going too much stress on the bullpen for the Red Sox here and I'm expecting another big game from the Angels. I like the Angels to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Angels. |

05-04-22 | 76ers +8.5 v. Heat | 103-119 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Wednesday. The 76ers lost the 1st game of this series by 10+ points and they were really out of it right from the start, they did make a comeback in the 2nd quarter but by the time that game got deep into the 2nd half, it was over for the 76ers. I think they will bounce back with a much better game here, they probably still won't win the game but I think they can keep it a lot closer than this spread is suggesting. The 76ers are still going to be without Embiid for most of the playoffs and that is a huge blow for them since he is the heart of their team but I think Harden can pick up a lot of that slack and I expect him to have a better game here. They already know from the 1st game how the Heat are going to approach this series and I think they will make some good adjustments here with Harden picking his game up and carrying the team in this game. The Heat are also banged up here, a majority of their guys will likely play but a lot of them will be playing with injuries and I think this is a good opportunity for the 76ers to pounce on them and try to take a game back here. Jimmy Butler wasn't even that great in their previous game and if he has to do more in this game I think he will get shut down by the 76ers. This is a game where Harden needs to shine for the 76ers and I think he is going answer the call here by taking over this game. I like the 76ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-106 Heat. |

05-04-22 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -110 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes in this game against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday. The Hurricanes took the 1st game of this series on home ice and I think they are going to make it a 2 game sweep on home ice here in these 1st 2 games of the series. The 1st game in this series wasn't even close with the Hurricanes defeating the Bruins 5-1 and I think this game is going to be very similar. The Hurricanes were on a roll to end the regular season and they came into this 1st series of the postseason very hot with 6 wins in a row and a majority of those wins by 2+ goals. They continued that run in game 1 and I think they are going to continue it again. The Hurricanes have looked great on home ice all year and they really dominated the Bruins without having to take many shots. The Bruins out shot the Hurricanes by 10+ shots yet Raanta was incredible all night, stopping 35/36 shots in that game. Ullmark had a really bad night giving up 4 goals and he only faced 24 shots, stopping 20 of those. The Hurricanes goalkeeping was a big concern coming into the postseason with their starting goalie, Frederik Andersen, out with injury but Raanta has been great all year and if this series comes down to goalkeeping, the Hurricanes are going to win that battle. The Hurricanes looked they came to play with a purpose and I expect them to just keep gaining momentum the deeper they go. I think they are going to dominate the Bruins here again and beat up on them physically on the ice. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Hurricanes. |

05-04-22 | Rays -121 v. A's | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays. I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. The Rays have looked a lot better in their games lately winning 2 in a row now and both of those wins were against the Athletics here in this series. The Rays have been getting hot with their bats again, putting up 16 runs in their 2 games against the A's and I think they are going to continue bringing in the runs in this game. They are going for the series sweep here and I think they are going to get it since they have looked a lot better. The A's have also looked terrible in their games lately getting swept by Cleveland in their previous series and and losing 5 games in a row now. The Rays also lost 3/4 games to the A's in their 2nd series of the year and I think they are trying to get their revenge here with the series sweep. Corey Kluber (1-1, 3.05 ERA) is up for the Rays here and he has been pretty good in all of his starts this year. He only had 1 bad start this year where he gave up 11 hits and 4 runs but still went 5 innings in that game and he bounced back nicely in his most recent start, pitching his longest game of the year as he made it through 6 complete innings and only gave up 1 hit and 1 run against a Twins team that has been hot lately. I think he is going to go out there and pitch another great game against the A's here and he has a bit of advantage over them since he wasn't 1 of the starters that faced them earlier this year in that 1st series against them. Frankie Montas (2-2, 4.25 ERA) is up for the A's and he has had a few good starts this year but he has started to look shaky out there and his most recent start wasn't very good with him giving up 5 runs in that game. I think the Rays are going to shut down the A's with Kluber pitching and I expect their bats to stay hot here. I like the Rays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Rays. |

05-03-22 | Giants v. Dodgers -130 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. The Dodgers have looked a lot better in their games lately. They had gone on a bit of a losing skid when they lost their series to the Diamondbacks and even dropped a game to the Tigers on their home field but I think their day off on Monday was what they needed to reset themselves and I expect a great effort from them in this game. They have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games now and the Giants are 1 of their biggest rival teams due to their location and the fact that they are in the same division. The Dodgers still remember how they lost the division to the Giants last year and I think they aren't going to let that happen again this year. I expect them to win this game and the Giants haven't really looked great lately either. The Giants have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games, splitting a series with Oakland and losing a series to the Nats. Their pitching hasn't been great in those games and they have been let down by both their starting rotation and their bullpen in those games. The Dodgers have a strong lineup and I think they will rack up the runs on the Giants here. Julio Urias (1-1, 2.50 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has looked great in his starts this year. He had a really good year last season and is off to a great start this year with his worst start on the year coming in his 1st game. I think he is rounding into ace form and I expect him to pitch a really good game here. Carlos Rodon (3-0, 1.17 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has had a really good start this year but he hasn't faced the strongest lineups in his starts and I think it is only a matter of time until he gets rocked in 1 of these games. I think this is going to be that game and I expect the Dodgers to beat up on him here. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Dodgers. |

05-03-22 | Predators +1.5 v. Avalanche | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nashville Predators +1.5. I like the Nashville Predators puckline in this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. The Predators haven't looked great in their games lately, they lost 4/5 of their final 5 games of the regular season but the 1 win that they got during that time was against the Avalanche. The Predators have also beaten the Avalanche in 2/3 meetings with them this year and I think they can keep this game close enough where if they lose, it will only be by 1 goal. They have even been playing in a lot of close games lately and even though they have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games, all 3 of their losses were by 1 goal. The Avalanche haven't looked great in their games lately either and I think they are going to take some time to get going in this series. They have lost 6/7 of their final 7 games to end the regular season a majority of their losses in their final 5 games were by 3+ goals. The Avalanche also just got some very important players back in their lineup and I think it will take some time for the lines to gel again, making it easier on the Predators to defend the Avalanche here. The Predators have also had no issues with scoring goals and they even came back down 2 goals in their game against the Avalanche, forcing it to a shootout where they won it. I think there is a good chance that this game could see OT and I think it is going to be very close. I like the Predators puckline here. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Avalanche. |

05-03-22 | Warriors v. Grizzlies OVER 227.5 | 101-106 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Grizzlies OVER. I am on the over in the Golden State Warriors vs Memphis Grizzlies game on Tuesday. The Warriors have already taken the 1st game of this series in Memphis but that was a really close game that they only won by 1 point and the game was very high scoring too, with both teams reaching 115+ points in that game. I think this game is going to be another high scoring affair here since the Warriors struggled on defense in that game and the Grizzlies have a very high powered offense. Draymond Green did get ejected in that game which was a huge blow to the Warriors and their defense but the Grizzlies were winning the game at that point and the Warriors had to make a comeback in the 2nd half anyway. I think the Grizzlies have too many talented players that can score and I think it is going to be tough for the Warriors to shut them down here with defense. The Grizzlies don't play a lot of defense in their games either so if they fall behind here they will be resorting to a heavy offensive effort to try and tie the game up. If the Grizzlies do jump out and take a lead than the Warriors will start to pour on the points and with a team like Memphis that doesn't play defense well, it will be too easy for Curry and company to score points in this game. I think this is going to be another high scoring game just like the 1st game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 121-117 Grizzlies. |

05-03-22 | Capitals v. Panthers OVER 6.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Capitals/Panthers OVER. I am on the over in the Washington Capitals vs Florida Panthers game on Tuesday. The Capitals haven't been involved in too many high scoring affairs lately since a majority of their games lately have seen around 5 goals in them. I don't think that's going to be the case here though with the Capitals playing in a road game against the Panthers who scored the most goals in the NHL during the regular season. The Capitals are getting back their star player here though, Ovechkin, and that should help their offense in this game since they will need to score a ton of goals to keep up with Florida here. The Panthers have seen 3/4 of their previous 4 games with 6+ goals in it total and that was right at the end of the regular season when the Panthers were starting to rest some of their better players. The Panthers have been a high scoring team all year and I don't think that is going to change now that the playoffs have started. They haven't looked great on the defensive end since they are usually giving up 2 or 3 goals in their games but they could probably score 6 goals themselves in this game since that has been something that they've been doing all year and I see this game going over the posted total because of that. The Panthers have never really been a good team for years but now they are not only in the postseason, but they finished as the best team in the league. I think the Panthers are going to give a hard effort here and start their postseason off with a huge win. I expect them to score a lot of goals here but also get some help from the Capitals since they aren't going to get shut out here. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Panthers. |

05-02-22 | Mavs +6 v. Suns | 114-121 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Phoenix Suns in this game on Monday. The Mavericks have looked really good in their games lately and they were great in their previous series. They eliminated the Jazz in 6 games and they only lost 1/5 of their previous 5 games after dropping the 1st game on their home court. They won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and 2 of those wins were in road games too. They have turned it up a notch with their defensive play in their 2 most recent games, holding the Jazz to less than 100 points in both of their previous 2 games. They haven't been winning their games with offense and I think they will play with a high intensity on defense in this game to set the tone for the series. The Mavericks need to steal at least 1 road game in this series to win it and I think they can come in here game 1 and catch the Suns by surprise with a gritty and defensive game. The Suns just beat the Pelicans in 6 games in their previous series but they didn't look that great in that series. They had a much weaker opposing team to play than the Mavericks had and the Suns still struggled against them. That series could have ended very differently if Booker didn't make his return in their most recent game but I think they are going to have a more difficult time trying to score on the Mavericks in this series. The Suns play good defense in their games too but I think the Mavericks can at least keep this game close if they don't win and with how good the defenses have looked on both teams, I think it will probably be a closer game the entire time. I think the Mavericks can win this game outright but I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 106-102 Mavericks. |

05-02-22 | Blues +115 v. Wild | 4-0 | Win | 115 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues. I like the St Louis Blues to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Monday. The Blues have looked really good in their games lately and they were getting really hot near the end of the regular season. The Blues ended their year with 2 losses in a row but they really didn't need to win those games and they were resting some of their better players for this series. Before losing those 2 games, they had won 3 games in a row and they had won 12/13 of their previous 13 games, going on a huge run where they were destroying teams by 3+ goals a lot of the time and scoring a ton of goals too. They haven't been struggling in their road games either since they have won 7/8 of their previous 8 road games and they ended the regular season as 1 of the hottest teams in the league. The Wild have also looked really good in their games lately, winning 7/8 of their previous 8 games and they have looked even better on home ice this year. They have struggled against the Blues this year though, and they lost all 3 games to the Blues this year, including 2 road games and 1 home game. I think the Blues are the better team here and they have been really hot in their games lately. I expect them to score a lot of goals here and make it very difficult on the Wild to win here on home ice. I think the Blues have the better defense and I also think their offense is stronger since they have been scoring a lot more goals than the Wild have been over the past few weeks. I expect the Blues to jump out to an early lead here and steal this game away from the Wild. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blues. |

05-02-22 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -110 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Monday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games lately and they ended the regular season off on a hot streak, winning 6 games in a row now going into this series. They have looked great on home ice in their games lately too and I think they are going to put up a great performance here in game 1. The Bruins have looked good in their games lately too but they have been winning a lot of their games on home ice and they haven't been great in their road games this year. They were definitely a better team on home ice all year and I think the Hurricanes are going to bully them on their home ice. The Bruins have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 road games and the 2 games they lost were both against teams that made it to the postseason this year while their win was against 1 of the worst teams in the league, the Canadiens. Over the previous month, the Bruins have played in 6 road games against teams that made the postseason this year and of those games the Bruins only won 2 of them. I think the Bruins are going to continue their struggles against playoff quality teams and I expect the Hurricanes to take game 1 of this series on their home ice. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. |

05-02-22 | Twins -140 v. Orioles | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins. I like the Minnesota Twins to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Twins have looked great in their games lately winning 2 in a row and they have won 9/10 of their previous 10 games. They have been hot lately and their offense looked great since they have been scoring a ton of runs in their games too. They just scored 18 runs in their 2 most recent games and they only gave up 4 runs total between the 2 games. Not only have they been hitting the ball really well, but their pitching has been great and I think they can continue on their run here against the Orioles who are supposed to be 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. The Orioles haven't been terrible lately and they even won their series over the Red Sox on the weekend but I think they have been overachieving and I expect them to start regressing back to the mean in their games. Chris Paddack (0-2, 3.68 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he hasn't been terrible to start the year, giving up no more than 3 runs in any of his 3 starts and he has been improving in each start too, giving up less and less runs in each of his starts. I think he is going to pitch another good game here and I expect the Orioles to have trouble getting hits on him. Tyler Wells (0-2, 5.54 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. He has given up 2+ runs in 3/4 of his starts this year and he has only made it past the 5th inning in 1 game this year. I think he's not going to last long in this game with how well the Twins have been hitting the ball lately. I like the Twins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Twins. |

05-01-22 | Tigers v. Dodgers -1.5 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers -1.5. I like the LA Dodgers runline against the Detroit Tigers in this game on Sunday. The Dodgers haven't looked good in their games lately, they just lost their most recent game on their home field to the Tigers 5-1 and they have actually lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games to some of the worst teams in the league. They had 2 of their losses come against the D-Backs in their last series, actually losing that series 2-1 to them, and now they have lost 1 to the Tigers and this game was on their home court unlike the other 2 against the D-Backs. The Dodgers are 1 of the best teams in the league and they are a lot better than teams like the Tigers. They shouldn't be losing these series' and they shouldn't even really be losing any games to them with the amount of skill on the Dodgers at every position. I think the Dodgers are going to be upset over the way they have looked in their games lately and I expect a big bounce back from them here to finish off the series and win it. Walker Buehler (2-1, 2.55 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has looked great in all his starts this year. He has only given up more than 2 runs in 1 of his starts and his most recent start was a game that he pitched all 9 innings and only gave up 3 hits in the entire game. I think he is hot and I don't see the Tigers scoring runs on him like the did yesterday and I expect him to go deep into this game again. Elvin RodrÃguez (0-0, 13.50 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he has only pitched in 1 game ever in the MLB since this is his rookie year. He gave up 4 runs in less than 3 innings against the White Sox and his team went on to lose that game 10-1. This will actually be his 1st ever start in the MLB and the Dodgers with that lineup is not really the team you want to see in your 1st ever start. I think he is going to get rocked in this game and give up a ton of runs here. I like the Dodgers to bounce back here and win this game by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Dodgers. |

05-01-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Jets OVER 6.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kraken/Jets OVER. I am on the over in the Seattle Kraken vs Winnipeg Jets game on Sunday. The Kraken have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs in their games lately but their most recent game was only a 3-0 win on their home ice. They have looked a lot better on their home ice this year and I think with them being in a road game here, their defense isn't going to be as good. It is also the last game of the regular season for both of these teams and neither will be moving onto the postseason after this. This really is a pointless game and is only being played to finish out the season since the game was a few weeks ago but postponed due to weather. I think both teams are going to play a looser style here and I expect to see goals from both teams. This is also an afternoon game which isn't really the normal time for these teams to be playing considering this would actually be a morning game of it were in Seattle so I think we are going to get sloppy play from both sides and I think both defenses will be really loose. The Jets have been scoring a ton of goals in their games lately too and I think they will have no issues scoring on the Kraken here. I don't think the Kraken are going to just die here though and I think both will be trying to end their year off with a win. I expect to see a lot of goals in this game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Jets. |

05-01-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -4.5 | 101-89 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Sunday. The Celtics have looked great in their games lately, sweeping the Nets in the 1st round and they looked like they were getting better as the series went on. The 1st 2 games in Boston were the closest games in that series because when Boston went into Brooklyn they dominated in both of those games and never really gave up the lead in those games. They are going to be on their home court here where they have looked great all year and I think they are going to crush the Bucks in this game. The Celtics stick out as 1 of the better teams in the East and they might be the best going into this round because of their defensive effort in every game they play. They have looked great on defense in their games and that was a big reason why they were able to sweep the Nets in the last round, their defense suffocated the Durant and Irving to the point where they never really had clear shots to make. The Celtics also look great on offense and they are 1 of the few teams in the league that isn't too star driven and they actually play as a team. I think the Bucks are going to struggle to keep up in this game, especially with Middleton out and if they fall behind it will be very difficult for them to come back with the defensive effort that the Celtics exert in their games. The Celtics will also take Giannis out of the game with their great defensive play and the Bucks don't have as many options as the Celtics do for scoring since they are a team that is really centered around Giannis. The Bucks were putting up a ton of points against the Bulls in their previous series but I think they aren't going to do that here on this defense and i expect them to have their offense suffocated in these games too. I think the Celtics are a lot better on both the offensive and the defensive end. I like the Celtics to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 110-102 Celtics. |

04-30-22 | Tigers v. Dodgers OVER 7.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -114 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tigers/Dodgers OVER. I am on the over in the Detroit Tigers vs LA Dodgers game on Saturday. The Tigers haven't looked good in their games lately and they have been giving up a ton of runs in their games. They have given up 5+ runs in 5 games in a row now and I don't think they are going to have a better day pitching here against 1 of the best teams in the league. The Dodgers hit a mini slum against the D-Backs losing 2/3 of those games but they are back to their hitting ways after last nights game and I think they are going to beat up on the Tigers here. Beau Brieske (0-1, 5.40 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he has only had 1 start this year but he didn't look good in that start. He gave up 3 runs in 5 innings against the Rockies and the Dodgers have a much better lineup than the Rockies do. I think Brieske is going to have a bad game here and I expect the Dodgers to have a big game with their bats. Clayton Kershaw (3-0, 2.65 ERA) is up for the Dodgers in this game and he has looked good this year but he has also slipped up in their games and I think he could slip up a bit in this game too. He hasn't been giving up runs but he has been giving up hits and I think the Tigers will be able to cash in on some of those runs here. I expect this to be a high scoring game and I think there is going to be a ton of runs here, mainly from the Dodgers. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 10-3 Dodgers. |

04-30-22 | Astros v. Blue Jays -129 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Houston Astros on Saturday. The Blue Jays have looked great in their games lately but they have already dropped the 1st game of this series to Houston. They lost the game 11-7 in what was an all around terrible performance from the pitching staffs of both teams. That game turned into whoever could drown the other out in runs but I think the pitching will be a lot better for the Blue Jays here and I expect them to bounce back with a win. The Astros haven't looked great lately and they haven't really won a series in a while either. They barely squeaked by in 2 games against the Rangers, taking 2/4 in that series and then they lost 3 series in a row before that series against Texas. Luis Garcia (1-0, 4.60 ERA) is up for the Astros here and he hasn't pitched that well in his 2 most recent starts. He gave up 5 runs in 6 innings in the last game he started and that was a game against the Blue Jays that they won 8-7 but that was the only game of the series they took and he had to get bailed out by their offense. I think he is going to pitch another bad game against the Blue Jays here but I think they get the win this time by keeping their lead with good pitching on their side today. Jose Berrios (1-0, 4.91 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he didn't look great at the beginning of the year but he has been getting better with each start and I think he is going to have a great game here as he is starting to find his way. I think this is a great game for the Blue Jays to bounce back in. I like the Blue jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Blue Jays. |

04-30-22 | Diamondbacks v. Cardinals -145 | 2-0 | Loss | -145 | 3 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. The Cardinals have looked better in their games lately winning 2 in a row but that run was ended last night when they lost to the D-Backs 6-2. The D-Backs are not a good team and I expect the Cardinals to bounce back in this game and win this series, especially with it being played on their home field. Miles Mikolas (1-0, 1.21 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked great in all of his starts this year. Of his 4 starts, there was only 1 game where he gave up 2+ runs and it was his 1st start of the year, also the only game he didn't go at least 5 innings in. I think he is going to pitch another great game here since he has been hot and I expect the offense to bring in some runs too and give him lots of run support. Merill Kelly (1-1, 1.69 ERA) is up for the D-Backs here and he has also looked great in all his starts this year but he just had his worst start of the year where he gave up 3 runs. I think he is going to give up some runs in this game too and if this ends up turning into a pitching duel between him and Mikolas, I think Mikolas has the advantage and the Cardinals also have the better bullpen to lean on. I don't think the Cardinals are going to drop another game on their home field to the D-Backs again in this series. I like the Cardinals to bounce back and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Cardinals. |

04-30-22 | Manchester City v. Leeds United OVER 3 | Top | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Man City/Leeds OVER 3. I am on the over 3 in the Man City vs Leeds game on Saturday. Man City has looked really good in their games lately and they've been scoring a ton of goals. They just scored 4 goals in their most recent game but also gave up 3 in that game too. They have scored 12 goals in their previous 3 games and I think they are going to send this game over the total like they have in a lot of their past games. they have played 4 games in a row where there was 3+ goals scored and they have even been giving up goals in 3/4 of those games. Leeds just tied 0-0 in their most recent game but they have had 4/6 of their previous 6 games see 3+ goals in them and they were on a 4 game in a row run where they had scored a goal which was ended by the 0-0 tie they had. Man City hasn't looked great on defense lately and I think Leeds can score a goal here on their home field to help get this game over. I think Man City will probably score 3+ themselves though as they are 1 of the best teams in the league and they are a lot stronger than Leeds is. Leeds doesn't have a great defense either so I see Man City scoring a lot of goals in this game. I like Man City to keep up their run of great play here and I think they are going to score a ton of goals to send this game over. I like the over 3 in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Man City. |

04-29-22 | Grizzlies v. Wolves +1.5 | 114-106 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Timberwolves. I like the Minnesota Timberwolves to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Friday. The Timberwolves have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games in this series but they haven't looked bad in their games and this series has been a very close one in a lot of the games. The Grizzlies took the most recent game on their home court but only by 2 points and the game before that was won by the T-Wolves but again, only by 1 point. The 1st 3 games were not even close at all but the 2 most recent games have been settled by 1 point and I think the series will remain like this to the end now that both teams have settled in. I think the T-Wolves have a good advantage being on their home court here and Towns should have a much better game here too. He looked a lot better in their previous game despite them losing and I think he is going to make a huge impact in this game to even up the series. The Grizzlies are also going to be without Steven Adams in this game and I think that is going to be a huge loss for them too. I expect the Timberwolves to play their best game here with their backs against the wall and I think they can force a game 7 here since the last 2 games were so close they could have easily been eliminated already or playing to eliminate the Grizzlies here. They are even getting a point on their home court here and even if they do lose this game, it won't be by much just like their previous loss. I think the Timberwolves can win this game though so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-115 Timberwolves. |

04-29-22 | Canucks +160 v. Oilers | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. The Canucks have already been eliminated from playoff contention this year and this game doesn't really mean anything to them but they have still looked really good in their games lately and I think they will end their year off really hot since they have been playing some of their best hockey all year over the last few weeks. They have won 2 games in a row now with 1 of those being a slaughter of the Kraken and the other was in a game against the Kings last night where they came back from a 2-0 deficit to win the game in OT 3-2 and they really dominated in the 2nd and 3rd periods of that game. They have a lot to build on for next year after putting together a great campaign after firing their coach in December but I think they will want to end their season off strong with a win here. The Oilers have already clinched their spot and home advantage on the postseason so this is a nothing game for them and I expect them to rest most of their players here since they played them all in their game against the Sharks last night. The Oilers beat the Sharks on home ice 5-4 in OT but they were trailing for that entire game and only tied it up near the end when the Sharks got into some penalty trouble. I don't think the Oilers are going to care as much in this last game of the regular season and the Canucks are a much hotter team than the Sharks are. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Canucks. |

04-29-22 | Astros v. Blue Jays OVER 8.5 | Top | 11-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Astros/Blue Jays OVER. I am on the over in the Houston Astros vs Toronto Blue Jays game on Friday. The Astros have had some good pitching in their games lately and their bats have been a bit quiet but I think this is a series that is going to see a lot of runs. These 2 just met last week in Houston and that was a very high scoring series as 2/3 of those games saw 7+ runs in them. The Blue Jays just had 2 games in a row where they only put up 1 run but I think their bats are going to wake up for this game. They scored 12 runs in their 2 games before those previous 2 and I think the pitching matchup is favorable for both teams to put up runs today. The Astros will have Jose Urquidy (1-1, 5.52 ERA) up in this game and he hasn't looked good this year. He has had 2 bad starts in a row now and he has given up a lot of hits in his starts too. I think the Blue Jays will make the Astros pay if they get guys on base here and I'm expecting a ton of runs from them in this game since they have been hot lately winning a lot of their games. Yusei Kikuchi (0-1, 3.75 ERA) should be getting the start for the Blue Jays here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year either. He has not given up a lot of runs in his starts but that is mainly because he hasn't made it past the 4th inning in 2/3 of his starts and he has been getting himself into a lot of trouble with base runners in their games. I think the Astros will get hits on him here and I expect them to cash in any base runners they get with how Kikuchi has been pitching. I think this is going to be a bad day for both pitchers and I'm expecting a ton of runs here. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Blue Jays. |

04-28-22 | 76ers v. Raptors +1.5 | Top | 132-97 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors. I like the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread against the Philadelphia 76ers in this game on Thursday. The Raptors were down 3-0 in this series at one point but the series is 3-2 now and they have made their way back in it after stealing a road game from the 76ers in their most recent game. The Raptors went into Philly in game 5 and they didn't just win that game, they dominated it. They jumped out to a very early lead and they never really looked back, hanging onto that lead for the entire game and even growing it more with the final score being a win by 15 points. They held the 76ers to 88 points on their own floor and their defensive effort was great in that game. I think they are going to have the same defensive intensity that they have had in their previous 2 games and I think they are going to shut down the offense of the 76ers. The Raptors even beat the 76ers in Philly without VanVleet in the lineup and I think they can repeat it here on their home court. Embiid hasn't been the same player in this series since sustaining his thumb injury and Harden has been called out by Embiid for not picking up the slack in their games. I think Harden still feels uncomfortable playing his game on the court with the 76ers and I think that is going to be their downfall in this game. The crowd is going to be energized for this game too and I think the Raptors will be able to feed off of that all night. I think this series is getting tied up here and going back to Philly for game 7. I like the Raptors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 106-99 Raptors. |

04-28-22 | Capitals v. Islanders +125 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 125 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Washington Capitals on Thursday. The Islanders haven't looked great lately but they just ended a 5 game losing skid with a win over the Capitals in their most recent game and I think they can get another win against them on home ice here. The Islanders won that game in Washington 4-1 and I think they can repeat that here on home ice with the current state of the Capitals. They have been sustaining a lot of injuries lately and the most notable injury would be to their star player Ovechkin. He will be out and getting ready to make a comeback for the playoffs but I also think that the Capitals might rest some other key players here with their trip to the postseason already being confirmed. They can still have an affect on who they play with a win or loss in this game but I think making it to the postseason as healthy as possible is the main priority right now and I think that leaves the door open for a much stronger effort from the Islanders in this game. The Islanders have been long eliminated from playoff contention so they really have nothing to play for here but after going on a long losing skid and with the season they have had this year, between all of the covid adversity and the long road trips because of their new building, it would be nice for them to end the year with a few wins. The head coach of the Islanders, Barry Trotz, also used to coach the Capitals including the year they won the cup and I doubt this is a game he will take lightly no matter what it means to either team. I'm expecting a stronger effort from the Islanders in this game and I think they can beat up on the banged up Capitals again in this game. I like the Islanders to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Islanders. |

04-27-22 | Nuggets v. Warriors -8 | Top | 98-102 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Denver Nuggets in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors just lost their most recent game to the Nuggets, dropping their 1st game in this series but they are back on their home court here and I think they can close out the series here. The Warriors were able to take 1 of the games in Denver in this series and it was a really close game with the Warriors only winning by 5 points but the 1st 2 games that were back at home for the Warriors were not even close games at all. The Warriors won both of those games by 15+ points and I think this game is lining up for another 10+ point win over the Nuggets here. The Warriors lost their previous game in this series but they didn't look bad at all in that game and they were still on fire despite losing. Curry has had a huge impact in every game and the previous game was the 1st in this series that both he and Thompson each put up 30+ points in the game. They have looked great in all of their games lately and I think they are only going to get better throughout the postseason now that they are hot. Nikola Jokic also looked great in that game almost posting 40+ points himself but he only had 2 other teammates with 20+ points in that game and only 5 of their players even hit 10+ points at all. That isn't going to enough to beat the Warriors and their task just got a whole lot taller with this game being a road game for them. I think the Warriors are going to overpower the Nuggets here taking the game over and I expect the Nuggets to fizzle out of the postseason here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 124-108 Warriors. |

04-27-22 | Flyers +1.5 v. Jets | 0-4 | Loss | -146 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers +1.5. I like the Philadelphia Flyers puckline in this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday. The Flyers were starting to gain some momentum in their games lately with 2 wins in a row but that was stunted in their most recent game when they lost to the Blackhawks 3-1 on Monday. I still think the Flyers have looked a lot better in their games lately and I like them to win this game over the Jets who haven't looked that great lately. The Jets just beat the Avalanche in their most recent game but the Avs collapsed late in that game and that was on the end of a losing streak for them where they weren't playing well at all. The Jets had lost 4 games in a row before winning that game over the Avs and every loss during that time was by 2+ goals. They have been giving up a lot of goals in their games lately and their defensive effort has been shaky at best. The Flyers have been scoring a lot lately and have looked a lot better in their games, I think they will put some pucks in the net here and put the Jets in a hole that their offense can't climb out of. They have also blown a few leads on their 4 game losing skid so if they go up in this game I don't think they will be able to hang on. I like the way that the Flyers have looked lately and I think they have been a lot better than the Jets in their games lately. I like the Flyers puckline here since I think they can win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Flyers. |

04-27-22 | Marlins -138 v. Nationals | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Marlins. I like the Miami Marlins to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. The Marlins already took the 1st game of this series and they have won 3 games in a row, extending back to their series against the Braves over the weekend. I think the Marlins can take the 2nd game of this series too since they have been getting hot lately and the nationals haven't looked good to start the year. The Nats have been terrible lately, losing 6 games in a row and they haven't won a series in 3 in a row now either. They have lost to some bad teams too, including a 4 game series with the Pirates that they lost 3-1, a 3 game series with the Diamondbacks, and they lost a series to the Giants who are really good unlike the other 2 teams mentioned before but they got swept in all 3 games of that series. It doesn't help either that the Nats have Erick Fedde (1-1, 6.75 ERA) starting in this game and he had a terrible start in his last outing, giving up 7 runs in just 3 innings. He hasn't looked good in any of his starts since he hasn't had a start through 3 games where he didn't give up 2+ runs in the game. The Marlins have some good hitters on their team and I think Fedde is lining up for another bad outing in this game with his struggles to start the year already. Pablo Lopez (2-0, 0.52 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has looked great in all of his starts this year. The teams has won all 3 games he started in with him getting credit for 2 of those, and he has played in at least 5 innings in every game, only giving up 1 total run in his 3 starts. I think the Nats aren't going to be able to get the hits and bring in runs on him in this game. I like the Marlins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Marlins. |

04-26-22 | Golden Knights -105 v. Stars | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights. I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. The Golden Knights haven't looked great in their games lately winning just 1/4 of their previous 4 games but I think they are due for a bounce back here and I expect them to be motivated after suffering a bad loss on home ice to the Sharks in a shootout considering those 2 teams have a lot of history already for the short amount the Knights have been in the league. I expect the Golden Knights to be angry over that loss and I expect to see them take out their anger on the Stars here who haven't looked great in their games lately either. The Stars just won their most recent game but it was on home ice to 1 of the worst teams in the league, the Kraken, and they lost 3 games in a row before winning that game. All of their losses during that time were by 2+ goals and came against teams that haven't been eliminated from contention yet. Right now there is a 4 team race in the West for the 2 Wild Card spots and both of these teams are part of that race. The Stars have a 3 point lead over Vegas and the Golden Knights are also the last team in that playoff hunt with the least amount of points of the 4 teams. A loss here could pretty much end their season and I don't think that is going to happen to them just yet. I expect the Golden Knights to get a bounce back win here and keep their playoff hopes alive. I like the Golden Knights to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Golden Knights. |

04-26-22 | Red Sox v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays -1.5. I like the Toronto Blue Jays runline against the Boston Red Sox in this game on Tuesday. The Blue Jays have looked great in their games this year and their bats have been really hot lately, putting up tons of runs in their games. They have won 5/6 of their previous 6 games with 3 of those wins coming against the Red Sox during that time. They have even been in a lot of games where their pitching has let them down or they allowed some late runs and their offense still bailed them out of most of those games. Nick Pivetta (0-3, 10.03 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and I think he is going to get touched by the Blue Jays for a lot of runs. He hasn't been great this year and has already been credited with 3 losses in the games he has started. He has only pitched in those 3 games this year too and has not had a start yet where he gave up less than 4 runs. If giving up 4 runs is his best start this year, then I think the Red Sox are in hot water here with a team like the Blue Jays and how good they have been hitting the ball lately. Kevin Gausman (1-1, 2.89 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has looked really good in his starts this year. He had 1 bad start in his season debut but even then he only gave up 3 runs in that game and has cut that down in each game since then. I think he is going to have another great outing against the Red Sox here who have been struggling to bring in runs in their games lately and I think this is also going to be a game that the offense shows up for in a big way for the Blue Jays. I like the Blue Jays to win this game on the runline. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Blue Jays. |

04-26-22 | Hawks +7 v. Heat | 94-97 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Hawks. I like the Atlanta Hawks to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Tuesday. The Hawks haven't looked that great in this series only taking the 1 game and now they are on the brink of elimination but I think they won't go down without a fight and I expect them to keep this a close game even if they lose in the end. The Heat were missing Lowry in the previous game and they still walked all over the Hawks in that game. Trae Young barely had any offensive contribution with only 9 points in that game but I think he will play a lot better here and I expect the players around him to follow suit. The Hawks live off the 3 pointer in their games and they haven't been shooting terribly in their games lately, their shooting has actually been really good especially from the arc. The Heat have been playing a good game on defense to shut down the Hawks in this series but their strategy will only work for so long until the Hawks start to counter it and I think they will have a much better game plan here. I think the Heat are going to start to feel the absence of Lowry in this game and I expect the Hawks to get more open for shots in this game since their shooting has been really good in these games. I think the Hawks are finally going to breakout on offense in this game and I'm expecting a big performance from Young and company here. I don't see the Hawks exiting the playoffs so easily in a blowout loss here. I like the Hawks to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 118-114 Heat. |

04-25-22 | Guardians v. Angels -110 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Monday. The Angels were on a bit of a roll with their offense lately before hitting their most recent series with the Orioles. They lost 2/3 of those games against the Orioles but they ended the series with a 7-6 win over them on Sunday and I think they can carry that momentum over into this game on Monday. The Guardians just got swept by the Yankees all 3 games and their most recent game was a 10-2 loss on Sunday where their pitching was terrible and their offense made no appearance either. The Angels did lose 2/3 games to the Orioles but the games were still close and the Angels were putting up runs in those games, unlike the Guardians who only scored 3+ runs in 1 of those games against the Yankees. Michael Lorenzen (1-1, 4.82 ERA) is up for the Angels in this game and he didn't have a great outing in his most recent start but he pitched a good outing in his 1st start of the year and I think he can bounce back in this game. The Guardians haven't been hitting the ball great lately and I think Lorenzen will do enough to keep the Guardians from bringing in any runs. Shane Bieber (1-0, 2.25 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has had 3 great starts this year but all 3 were also against teams that don't have great offenses and I think he is going to get beat up on by the Angels here who have been hitting the ball really well and bringing in lots of runs in their games lately. I like the Angels to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Angels. |

04-25-22 | Flyers +125 v. Blackhawks | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Philadelphia Flyers to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. The Flyers have had a terrible year and really have nothing left to play for along with their opposing team here, the Blackhawks, but the Flyers have looked a lot better in their games lately and have been playing quite well during this time. They have won 2 games in a row and I think they can keep up their streak here, adding another game to it. Both of their wins were very dominant with a win over the Canadiens in Montreal who have been bad lately but that is still a tough building to play in, and the other win was on home ice but against a playoff team in the Penguins who they destroyed 4-1 and never even gave the Penguins a chance in that game from the beginning. Their defense has been a lot better and they haven't had any issues scoring goals lately either. The Blackhawks haven't looked good at all in their games lately and they have lost 2 games in a row now but also only have 1 win in their previous 5 games. Their 2 most recent losses were not great either since they lost both games by 3 goals and were dominated the entire time, even losing to a team like the Sharks who have struggled to win games all year. I think the Flyers are getting hot now and they have looked a lot better than the Blackhawks have lately. The Blackhawks have been giving up tons of goals in their games too and they have only been able to score 2 goals in their last 2 games. I think the Flyers are playing way better at the moment and I like them to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Flyers. |

04-25-22 | Celtics v. Nets -1 | 116-112 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Monday. The Nets are down 3-0 in the series to the Celtics but they have had plenty of opportunity to take a game in this series. They only lost the 1st game by 1 point and they blew a big lead in the 2nd game losing that game too. Their most recent game was the game that they were trailing in from the start and had to come back but they still had a chance to win that game when they did come back and I don't see the Nets getting swept on their home court here. They still have a lot of talent between Durant and Irving and they have already been really close in all of these games. I think the Nets are finally going to win a game in this series here and will send this back to Boston for at least 1 more game in the series. The Celtics have looked really good in all 3 games but they haven't dominated the Nets for an entire game and even when they are winning they have had to battle hard to keep the Nets from coming back. I think Durant and Irving are too good to get swept in the 1st series here and I expect them to win at least 1 game, with the perfect opportunity here on their home court. Both Durant and Irving were quiet in the previous game but I expect them both to step up here and play their best game of the year when faced with elimination. I think the Nets will win this game and I like the to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-106 Nets. |

04-24-22 | Suns v. Pelicans +2.5 | 103-118 | Win | 100 | 12 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Phoenix Suns in this game on Sunday. The Suns have a 2-1 lead in the series after a really slim win over the Pelicans in their previous game, only winning that game by 3 points in New Orleans. The Pelicans already stole the game in Phoenix before that previous loss and I think they can even up the series here on their home court, sending it back to Phoenix tied 2-2. Booker is still out for the Suns and they haven't looked great in their games without him. They lost the game that he left in with the injury and then they only won by 3 points in their road game without him but I think they are going to fall in this game since Chris Paul has had to pick up the slack and I don't think he is enough to carry this team without someone helping on offense the way Booker impacts the floor. The Pelicans were already on a bit of a roll at the end of the regular season and they won 2 games in a row to get to this series through the play-in tournament. They looked really bad in the 1st game but they have looked a lot better in their previous 2 games and I think they are going to put up a really good fight on their home court here. I think the Suns are in a very vulnerable position without Booker in their rotation and I expect the Pelicans to take advantage here. I like the Pelicans to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 109-106 Pelicans. |
