04-24-22 | Warriors -4 v. Nuggets | 121-126 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 60 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 Sunday. I think the Warriors have looked really good in this series against the Nuggets so far. The Warriors have taken a commanding 3-0 lead in the series and I think they are going to complete the sweep in this game. The home games for the Warriors were not even close with Golden State winning both of the 1st 2 games by 10+ points. They won their most recent game by 5 points in Denver to take a 3-0 lead but the amazing thing is that Steph Curry has not even been in the top 3 on his team for minutes played in the 1st 3 games of this series. Curry has still been dominating in the games though and if they find themselves down early, I expect Curry to get a lot more time in the game and bring them back. I think the Warriors will be motivated to get the sweep here so they can show the league that they are indeed back after all those years and I also think it will be good for them to get some rest before the next round since they have been dealing with injuries to multiple key players all year. The Nuggets haven't looked good lately but they were starting to diminish a bit coming into the playoffs. They had lost 2/3 of their final 3 games of the regular season and have now lost 4 in a row to make it just 1 win in their previous 6 games. Nikola Jokic has still looked great in these games but he doesn't get a lot of offensive contribution from the other players on his team and I don't think he is enough to beat a team like the warriors. I think the Warriors are going to win this game and cover the spread here, closing out the series with the Nuggets. I like the Warriors to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 121-113 Warriors. |

04-24-22 | Marlins v. Braves -122 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -122 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The Braves haven't looked great in their games lately but they have still been winning games and they have been getting a lot of hits in the games they lose too. They just lost their most recent game to the Marlins and there was a few lead changes in that game but in the end, the Braves blew their lead and lost that game. I think the Braves have been starting to look a lot better compared to how they were at the beginning of the year and I think they are going to get hot soon once they get into their groove again. The Marlins haven't been great lately either and they have been getting a lot of their wins in home games this year. I think the Braves are going to bounce back in this home game and I expect them to take the series with a win here. Bryce Elder (1-1, 4.50 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has had 2 decent starts where he wasn't great but he wasn't bad either and I think he will do enough here to keep the marlins from bringing in the runs. The Marlins have Jesus Luzardo (0-1, 4.82 ERA) going in this game and he has had a rough start to his year. He looked alright in his 1st start but he was really bad in his previous outing, giving up 5 runs and 7 hits in just a bit over 4 innings in that game. The Braves have been hitting the ball well lately and even though they lost to the Marlins yesterday, they still scored 7 runs in that game. I think the Braves will be able to put up the runs on Luzardo here and I'm expecting a bounce back win from them here. I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Braves. |

04-23-22 | Grizzlies v. Wolves +3 | 118-119 | Win | 100 | 13 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Timberwolves. I like the Minnesota Timberwolves to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Saturday. The Timberwolves have lost 2 games in a row now, including their most recent game on their own home court, but I think they will bounce back in this game and even up the series before going back to Memphis for the next game. Karl-Anthony Towns has had 2 bad games in a row now and I don't think he is going to have a 3rd. He is a big reason why they lost those 2 games after having a great game in the 1st of the series. I think he will bounce back here and have a much better game, I expect him to step up here and carry his team on their home court. The Timberwolves are a very good team but they need Towns playing at his best so everything else can fall into place. They aren't going to want to go back to Memphis down 3-1 in the series and I think they can get the win on their home court here since they have looked great there all year. The Timberwolves outplayed the Grizzlies in the 1st game and just kept putting up points in that game to hold off the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies don't look that great on defense still so as long as the Timberwolves can get back to putting up all that offense like they did in the 1st game, they are going to give the Grizzlies trouble. They also just blew 2 different 20+ point leads in their previous game and I think they will try to make sure that doesn't happen again here. I expect a much better effort from Towns and the Timberwolves here, I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 126-124 Timberwolves. |

04-23-22 | Grizzlies v. Wolves OVER 232 | 118-119 | Win | 100 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies/Timberwolves OVER. I am on the over in the Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves game on Saturday. The Grizzlies have looked great in their previous 2 games since losing the 1st of this series and they have been putting up a ton of points in their games still whether they win or lose. The Grizzlies have put up 100+ points in all 3 games of this series, including the 1st game that they lost they still scored 117 points. They have looked better on the defensive end in their previous 2 games since they didn't even give up 100+ points in either game but the Timberwolves also didn't look that great in both of those games and they should score more points here with a better effort from their star players in this game. Towns has had 2 bad games in a row now and I think he is going to step up here and make some plays to help his team try to even the series. The Timberwolves don't want to go back to Memphis down 3-1 in the series so I see them giving a good effort in this game to keep it close and try to hold a lead here as they have the best chance of winning on their home court. Before the playoffs started, the Timberwolves looked great on offense and they had scored 100+ points in 24 games in a row. They don't really give a great defensive effort in their games so they will need to put up points in this game to win and they have already been giving up a lot to the Grizzlies, even in the game they won. I think this is going to be a much closer game than the previous 2 and I expect the Timberwolves to play a lot better and have more offensive contribution from their star players which they have been lacking in their 2 most recent games. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 126-124 Timberwolves. |

04-23-22 | Celtics v. Nets -2.5 | Top | 109-103 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Saturday. The Nets have lost 2 games in a row now going down 2-0 in this series but they haven't looked bad in their games either. They were really close to winning the 1st game but lost by 1 point on a very nice play by the Celtics to end the game with a buzzer beater. The 2nd game they were even closer to winning as they maintained a 10+ point lead for a good majority of that game but blew it late and ended up losing the game. The Nets haven't been great on their home court this year but they also played a majority of their home games with no Kyrie Irving and now that he is allowed to play on their home court once again, I think they are going to look a lot better here and I expect them to steal a game back from the Celtics here. The Nets still looked great in those 2 games and they were in both of them with a chance to win all game. I think they can finally get a win here and I expect Durant and Irving to have another huge night on offense, but also with their defensive effort too. Irving wasn't too involved in their most recent game but I think he will have more offensive contribution in this game and I expect him and Durant to lead this team to a victory here. I like the Nets to cover the spread here and cut the series lead in half. T.M. Prediction: 117-110 Nets. |
|||||||
04-23-22 | Canadiens +137 v. Senators | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. The Canadiens have lost 7 games in a row now and they were just embarrassed in 4 home games in a row too. They tried to keep up with the Flyers in their most recent game but they still lost that game 6-3 and the anger has to be boiling for this Canadiens team. They have had a terrible year and are 1 of the worst teams in the league this year, just a year after going to the Stanley Cup finals and losing there. I still think they have a lot of pride playing for Montreal though and I expect them to break out of this funk before the end of the year. I think this is a good spot for them to bounce back in and I like them to get a win over the Senators who haven't looked great this year either. The Senators are on a bit of a roll now winning 2 games in a row but they had to win both games in a shootout and I think the Canadiens will play them tough here with the cities being so close to each other. Carey Price had a bad game against the Flyers but I think he can bounce back in this game and play a lot better since he hasn't been awful since making his return. I think he can keep the Canadiens in this game and the Senators haven't really been able to win games lately unless they go to shootout. I like the Canadiens to bounce back and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Canadiens. |

04-23-22 | Predators v. Lightning -158 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Saturday. The Lightning have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 3/4 games of their previous 4 and they did slip up against the Red Wings during that time but their other 3 wins were very impressive and they have been scoring a lot of goals in those games too. They just slaughtered the Leafs on home ice 8-1 and they had a 7-4 win over the Jets in their game before the loss to the Red Wings. They are on home ice again here and the Predators haven't looked that great lately either, especially in their road games. The Predators have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games, both wins by just 1 goal, and they have played 5 games in a row on home ice. They lost the most recent road game they played in and they haven't looked great in road games lately, losing 4/5 of their previous 5 road games. Their most recent loss was at home to the Blues and they lost that game 8-3 after taking a 1-0 lead in the 1st period. The Lightning are coming off of some similar games where they destroyed the opposing team and I think they are going to do the same to the Predators on their home ice here since the Lightning have been getting really hot lately. The Lightning have already clinched a playoff spot this year but they are still fighting with the Bruins for 3rd place since 1 of those teams will have to land in the Wild Card. The Lightning have a 3 point lead over the Bruins and I think they are going to be motivated to keep their lead here. I like the Lightning to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Lightning. |

04-23-22 | Cardinals v. Reds +1.5 | 5-0 | Loss | -165 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Reds +1.5. I like the Cincinnati Reds runline against the St Louis Cardinals in this game on Saturday. The Reds have looked terrible this year and they have lost 10 games in a row now but I think they are due for a bounce back as bad as they have been and I think they have the best shot at getting that win in 1 of these home games. The Cardinals have won 3/4 of their previous 4 games but they haven't been putting up a lot of runs in their games and I think they are going to struggle to bring in runs against Tyler Mahle (1-1, 7.82 ERA). Mahle had a great 1st start of the year but he has not looked good in his 2 starts since then. He had some tougher teams to pitch against in those games though and I think he will have a better time against the Cardinals here who aren't the strongest hitting team. Mahle had a pretty good year last season and I think he can bounce back with a better performance here since he has already shown he can pitch well in that 1st start. Dakota Hudson (0-1, 7.71 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has already had 2 bad starts this year but unlike Mahle, he hasn't had a good start yet. I think Hudson is still struggling to find his groove at the start of this year and I think the Reds will take advantage of this opportunity to break out of their funk. The Reds aren't going to lose all of thir games this year and I think this is a great spot for them to finally snap out of it and get a win. I like the Reds runline here but I think they can win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Reds. |
|||||||
04-22-22 | Bucks v. Bulls +3 | 111-81 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bulls. I like the Chicago Bulls to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Friday. The Bulls have looked good in the 1st 2 games of this series. They lost a hard fought game in the 1st game by 7 points but their defensive effort was there and they didn't even give up 95+ to the Bucks in that game. They ended up winning the 2nd game by 4 points, stealing game from the Bucks on their home court, and I think they are going to have another great game here. The Bulls are back on their home court here and I think that they will be too much for the Bucks to handle with Middleton out in this game. DeMar DeRozan just had a huge game in their most recent game, putting up 40+ points and I think he is going to have another huge game on their home court here. I also expect him to get a lot of offensive contribution from others like Vucevic and LaVine who both had 20+ points in that previous game too. I think with all of the absences for the Bucks, they are going to struggle to defend the Bulls in this game and with DeRozan playing so well lately, I expect him to lead his team to a victory here. I see the Bulls coming out stronger on offense in this game and I think the Bulls will try to get out to an early lead here, making it difficult on the Bucks to come back in the game. I like the Bulls to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 108-102 Bulls. |

04-22-22 | Seattle Kraken +1.5 v. Wild | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Kraken +1.5. I like the Seattle Kraken puckline in this game against the Minnesota Wild on Friday. The Kraken have looked really good in their games lately and they have won 3 games in a row now. They won a close game against the Devils but they looked a lot better in their 2 most recent games, winning 1 game by 2 goals over the Senators and the other game by 1 goal over the Avalanche. The Avalanche have been really hot lately and the Kraken were able to shut them down as they are still in the hunt for 3 more points to break their franchise record of points in a single season. The Kraken were in control of that entire game too since they jumped out to an early 3-1 lead and held it for the game. The Kraken are playing in a road game here but the Wild are on a B2B game after playing against the Canucks the previous night. The Canucks have also been very hot lately and that was a tough game for the Wild to win which probably took a lot out of them. They won the game 5-3 but they were trailing 3-2 late in the 2nd period before tying it up and then didn't get the winning goal until there was less than 7 minutes left in the game. I think the Kraken are going to put up a really good fight here since they have looked good lately and have been gaining a lot of momentum in with their wins. They don't have much to play for here but I think they will try to finish their year off with some wins so they have something positive to go off of for next year. I also expect the Wild to be tired from the night before and they have already clinched a divisional spot, knowing who they are going to be playing in the playoffs too. I like the Kraken puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Kraken. |

04-21-22 | Rangers +1.5 v. Mariners | 8-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas Rangers +1.5. I like the Texas Rangers on the runline in this game against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. The Rangers have lost 5 games in a row now and they are already down 2 games in this series but I don't think they are going to get swept here and I expect them to win this game or at least cover the runline. The Rangers only lost their most recent game by 2 runs and in both games against the Mariners they were hitting the ball well with only 1 less hit than the Mariners had in both games they just couldn't covert the runners into runs. I think they will have a better time scoring runs in this game with Marco Gonzales (1-1, 3.00 ERA) up for the Mariners here. He is just had a very good start in his most recent game only giving up 1 run through 7 innings but his 1st start was terrible and he barely made it out of the 2nd inning in that game as 6 runs were given up thanks to him. The Rangers have had no issues with hitting the ball lately and I think they will get plenty of hits on him here and put up a lot of runs. The Rangers have Taylor Hearn (0-1, 4.70 ERA) going up in this game and he has already had 2 bad starts this year where his team lost both games and he was even credited with a loss. He gave up 3 runs and 6 hits in his most recent start and I expect him to give up a ton in this game too. I don't think the Rangers are going to get swept here the way they have been hitting the ball lately. I like the Rangers on the runline here +1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Rangers. |
|||||||
04-21-22 | Mavs v. Jazz -6.5 | 126-118 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Utah Jazz. I like the Utah Jazz to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Thursday. The Jazz have looked really good in their games lately, already stealing a game in the series in Dallas and they could have stolen both games but they gave up their lead late and ended up losing by 6 points. The Jazz still looked really good in both of those games and I think they will take control of the series now being back on their home court here. Luka Doncic is still questionable to play here but even if he does I think the Jazz will be too much for them to handle in this game. Most of the offense for the Jazz has been coming from Mitchell and Bogdanovic but I expect more offensive contribution from players like Conley in this game who didn't score a single point in their previous game. I also expect them to shut down the Mavs a lot better on their home court here. Jalen Brunson carried the team in their most recent game with 40+ points but I think the Jazz will do a better job defending him here and I expect that to be the difference in this game. The Jazz have looked really good in their home games all year at 29-12 and I expect them to dominate the Mavericks on their home floor for this entire game. I like the Jazz to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 111-99 Jazz. |

04-21-22 | Grizzlies v. Wolves OVER 236 | 104-95 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies/Timberwolves OVER. I am on the over in the Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves game on Thursday. The Grizzlies just tied the series up 1-1 in their most recent game and they shut down the Timberwolves in that game, not even giving up 100+ points to them. They looked a lot better with their defensive effort in that game but their offense wasn't slowed down at all since they still put up 120+ points in that game. I think their defensive effort will not be as good in this game though with it being a road game and I expect them to resort to more offense to win this game. The Timberwolves put up 130 points in the 1st game of this series and I think their offense will be firing in this game on their home court. The Grizzlies haven't really played great defense all year and I think their defensive effort will be lacking in this road game. The Timberwolves have already shown they can put up points on the Grizzlies and that was in a road game, I expect them to put up a ton of points here playing a better game on their home court. I still think the Grizzlies are going to keep up in this game and I expect this to be a close game until the end. I think both offenses are just going to keep putting up points here trying to regain the lead as it goes back and forth and I see there being very little defense from either team in this game. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 125-121 Grizzlies. |
|||||||
04-21-22 | Flyers v. Canadiens -135 | 6-3 | Loss | -135 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. The Canadiens haven't looked good in their games lately and they have lost 6 games in a row now. I think they are due for a bounce back win here and I think they have their best chance of winning a game here on home ice. Carey Price is back for the Canadiens and he has actually looked good in his games so far. He has only given up 2 goals in both of his 2 most recent starts but his team couldn't back him up with any goals in those games. They just lost 2-0 on home ice to the Wild but Price still looked great in that game and shut down a very good team like the Wild in that game. I think the Canadiens have an easier game ahead of them here since the Flyers have been terrible this year and I think this is a great spot for the Canadiens to break out of their funk and get a win here. The Flyers haven't been any better lately and they have also lost 6 games in a row now. A majority of their losses during that time have been by 2+ goals too. Neither of these teams have anything left to play for this year and at this point it is just the pride of winning another game that should be coming out in this game. I think the Canadiens are going to step up on home ice here to break out of their losing skid. I like the Canadiens to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canadiens. |
|||||||
04-20-22 | Blackhawks v. Coyotes +145 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Coyotes. I like the Arizona Coyotes to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday. The Coyotes haven't looked good in their games lately losing 7 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. The last team they won a game against was actually against the Blackhawks 8 games ago and they won that in a road game in OT. I think they can do the same here and break out of their funk once again with another win against the Blackhawks who haven't been great this year anyway. The Coyotes have been losing a lot but I think they have their best chance on home ice here and they have already beaten this team on their home ice in their most recent win so I like their chances of winning this game on home ice. They actually looked decent in their game against the Hurricanes, losing that game 5-3 on home ice but the game was also a lot closer for the entire time than the final score suggests. The Blackhawks are in their own funk lately losing 2 games in a row but they also have won 1/11 of their previous 11 games. I think this is a good spot for the Coyotes to get a win here on home ice. I like the Coyotes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Coyotes. |
|||||||
04-20-22 | Nets +3.5 v. Celtics | 107-114 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Wednesday. The Celtics took the 1st game of this series but they only won that 1st game by 1 point and that game literally came down to the final play to decide a winner. This is going to be a close and physical series and I think the Nets can bounce back in this game. The Nets have looked good in their games lately, they still needed to win games to the very end of the regular season and they ended winning 5 games in a row before losing that 1st game in the series. Kyrie Irving had a really good game and I expect him to do the same in this game but Kevin Durant was really being covered by a lot of double and sometimes even triple teams but I expect him to have something to counter that in this game and I see him getting more involved in their offense in this game. Durant has also been really good with his defensive effort since the playoffs have started and I think he will try to match the defensive intensity of the Celtics here. Even Irving seems to be playing a lot better the more the fans get on his case and if he continues to play like that here with that same chip on his shoulder, the Nets are going to be very tough to stop even when the Celtics are at home. The Celtics have also looked really good lately and they were really hot going into the playoffs but the 1st game was already a really close game that the Nets almost won and really should have won with the chances they had to seal that game late. Still, they only lost by 1 point and if they lose again here it will probably be the same really close game but I think the Nets can bounce back and get a win here to even the series. I like the Nets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-115 Nets. |

04-20-22 | Reds v. Padres -1.5 | 0-6 | Win | 110 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres -1.5. I like the San Diego Padres on the runline in this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. The Padres have looked good in their games lately winning 3 games in a row now and I think they can extend that to 4 wins in a row here. Their 2 most recent wins have both been against the Reds here in this series and they won both games by 2+ runs. The Reds have struggled to put up runs in their games all year so far and they are on a terrible losing skid at the moment, losing 8 games in a row with a majority of those losses coming by 2+ runs. Vladimir Gutierrez (0-2, 5.40 ERA) has already racked up 2 losses in his 1st 2 starts this year and he has been giving up some runs in all of his starts so far, not making it out of the 5th inning in either game. I think he is going to have another bad start here and it will be hard for him to pitch a good game against this strong batting lineup for the Padres. MacKenzie Gore (0-0, 3.38 ERA) has only had the 1 start this year which also happens to be his 1st ever MLB start in his career but he pitched really well in that game and I think he can replicate that in this game. He is still a rookie making his 2nd MLB start in this game and I think that offers a bit of an advantage for him since the Reds haven't seen his pitches before and will be less likely to knowing what is coming at them in this game. I think the Reds will continue to hit the ball here and I expect the Padres to put up runs here now that their bats have gotten hot in their games lately. I think the Reds are really bad this year and I expect them to continue on their losing skid here. I like the Padres to win this game by 2+ runs covering the runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Padres. |

04-19-22 | Wolves v. Grizzlies OVER 240 | 96-124 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Timberwolves/Grizzlies OVER. I am on the over in the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies game on Tuesday. The T-Wolves took the 1st game of this series 130-117 and that was a very high scoring affair but there was also no defense from either team in this game. Considering that both of these teams have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately, I expect this game to be no different after that offensive showing in the 1st game. The Grizzlies really couldn't get much going in that game and they ended up trailing most of the time on their own home court but I think they are going to play a lot harder here since they won't want to go into Minnesota down 2-0 in the series. I expect Ja Morant to step up more in this game and I think he will get more offensive contribution from the rest of his team too. The T-Wolves have given up 100+ points in 9 games in a row now but 7 of those games saw them giving up 120+ points to the opposing team. They still put up 100+ points themselves in all 9 of those games and they won a majority of them too so they were putting up enough points to outscore the opposing teams. The Grizzlies are good on the offensive end and I expect them to come out stronger in this game down 1-0 in the series after a home game. The Grizzlies have put up a ton of points in their games this year and they have had 100+ points in 34 games in a row. The Grizzlies are going to get their points in this game and we already know from the 1st game that the Timberwolves can score points on them too. Neither team looked good on the defensive end in game 1 and I expect that to be the same here as the offenses will dominate in this game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 132-127 Grizzlies. |

04-19-22 | Blue Jays +125 v. Red Sox | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. The Blue Jays have looked really good in their games lately and they are off to a really good start this year, not losing a single series of their 1st 3 yet. The Blue Jays have been racking up a lot of hits in every game they play and they have been a really difficult team to stop so far. I think the Red Sox won't be able to score enough runs here to beat the Jays. The Red Sox didn't look great in their last outing and although they racked up a lot of hits in that game, they have had nothing to show for it as they had another game where they only converted 3 runs and the scoring has been a big issue for them so far. They haven't been putting up a lot of runs this year and I think the Jays are going to have no issues bringing runs in here with how good they have looked in their games, putting up a ton of runs in their games. Nathan Eovaldi (1-0, 4.50 ERA) didn't have the best starts for the Red Sox already, he has already had 2 starts and has given up runs in both games which led to high scoring affairs on both occasions. I think the Jays are going to be able to get hits on him here and I see them putting up a ton of runs on him in this game. The Red Sox haven't looked great with their bullpen either and there has been a few games already where their starter put them in a great chance to win and their bullpen blew the game. The Blue Jays have a much better bullpen than the Red Sox do and I expect Yusei Kikuchi (0-1, 5.40 ERA) to have a better start here after his 1st outing last week. He gave up 2 runs in 3 innings to the Yankees and was credited with the loss there but his team also fell flat in that game and didn't score a single run. The bats are hot for the Jays now and I'm expecting a better start from Kikuchi. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Blue Jays. |

04-18-22 | Phillies -158 v. Rockies | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -158 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies. I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Monday. The Phillies just had a bad series where they dropped 2 games in Miami to the Marlins and they lost their most recent game 11-3 but I think they can bounce back in this game. Aaron Nola (1-1, 6.75 ERA) is up for the Phillies in this game and he has struggled in his 1st 2 starts but I think he is going to get better and I like him to bounce back with a much better start in this game. Nola has been giving up runs in his 2 starts but this is a big ballpark in Colorado and there are going to be runs here regardless. Despite the runs he's been giving up, he has also been getting strikeouts in his starts and I think that is going to be key for him here. The Phillies also have a good lineup that can hit the ball and I think playing in this ballpark will help spark their bats and get them hot. I see the Phillies putting up a ton of runs in this game and I don't think Chad Kuhl (0-0, 2.08 ERA) is going to have as good a start as he did in his 1st game. Kuhl only gave up 1 run in his 4 innings against Texas but that was also a road game for them and this will be his 1st start at Coors Field this year. Kuhl also came from the Pirates in the offseason so he hasn't pitched in this ballpark often and I don't think he is going to have a good game since he wasn't that great last year either. He pitched at Coors Field 1 time last year and gave up 3 runs in the 4 innings he played. I think the Phillies are going to score runs against him here and win this game. I like the Phillies here. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Phillies. |

04-18-22 | Jazz v. Mavs OVER 205.5 | 104-110 | Win | 100 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jazz/Mavericks OVER. I am on the over in the Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks game on Monday. The Jazz took the 1st game of this series and that was a really low scoring game that neither team even hit 100 points in. I think that will be different in this game though and I expect this game to go over the total. The Jazz looked good in that 1st game and Mitchell had a very good night. I expect him to have another good night here and help his team put up more points in this game. He didn't get a lot of help in that game as he and Bogdanovic really carried the team but I expect some more offensive contribution from players like Conley and Gobert in this game. The Mavericks are already down 1-0 on their home court here and I think they will come out a lot more aggressive in this game. They can't go into Utah down 2-0 in the series from their home games so I think the Mavericks are going to leave it all out on the floor here trying to tie up the series. I think they are going to need a lot more offense here and I expect Brunson to step up and carry a lot of that weight. The Mavericks hung around in that 1st game and I think they can stick around in this game too. I see this being another close game but I think the Mavericks are going to need more offense to have a chance in this game and with the total so low here, I like this game to go over. T.M. Prediction: 112-107 Jazz. |

04-18-22 | Raptors +7.5 v. 76ers | 97-112 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors. I like the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread against the Philadelphia 76ers in this game on Monday. The Raptors looked terrible in the 1st game of this series, they lost that game by 20 points and they were pretty much outplayed the entire game by the 76ers and their physicality. Now that the Raptors know what to expect from the 76ers here and how they are going to play, I expect them to play a lot more physical to match the 76ers here and I think they can keep this game a lot closer. I also expect the Raptors to be upset in this game since Joel Embiid took out 2 of their players in that game, including their rookie Scottie Barnes on 2 separate occasions in that game, once in the eye and another his ankle, and he was having a really good night too. I expect Siakam and VanVleet to step up and play a lot better here, carrying the team in this game. VanVleet also racked up a lot of early fouls in game 1 and I expect him to be a lot smarter here with his defensive effort. The Raptors won't want to get embarrassed again like they did in that 1st game and I see them turning up their defensive effort and intensity in this game to give themselves a better chance. They were beaten physically in that game and now that they know what they are dealing with they will come to play here and match their physicality in this game. The Raptors have given the 76ers fits all year and they aren't just going to die in this series after 1 game. I like the Raptors to bounce back here and cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 124-119 76ers. |

04-18-22 | Twins v. Red Sox UNDER 8.5 | 8-3 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Twins/Red Sox UNDER. I am on the under in the Minnesota Twins vs Boston Red Sox game on Monday. The Twins haven't looked good in their games lately and their bats have gone really cold in this series with the Red Sox. After taking the 1st game of this series on Friday 8-4, they have lost both games in a row since and they have combined for 1 run in those 2 games. The Red Sox finally got hot with their bats putting up 8 runs in that game but they had only put up that many runs total in their 2 games before that and I think they are dealing with a tougher pitching matchup in this game. Dylan Bundy (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is up for the Twins and he just pitched a great game in his 1st start. He lasted 5 innings without giving up a run and he only gave up 1 hit too. I think he is going to have another good outing here and the Red Sox have been really up and down with their batting lineup anyway so I see them going cold once again in this game with Bundy pitching. Rich Hill (0-0, 6.23 ERA) is going for the Red Sox here and he wasn't great in his 1st start, giving up 3 runs in the 4 innings he played in. They did win that game 5-3 though and their bullpen got them out of trouble there since those were the only 3 runs they gave up in that game. The bullpen has also been pitching well the last 2 games and I think they will continue their good run here. This is also a very early start for both teams and I think that will dampen their hitting a bit in this game. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Red Sox. |

04-17-22 | Nets v. Celtics OVER 223.5 | Top | 114-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nets/Celtics OVER. I am on the over in the Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics game on Sunday. The Nets have looked really good in their games lately and they have had a lot of high scoring affairs too. There has been 220+ total points in 3 games in a row for them now and I think this will be another high scoring game. The Nets haven't really looked good on the defensive end this year and I expect this to be another game that they give up a lot of points in. I think Tatum and Brown are playing too well at the moment and I don't see Durant stopping them that easily with his defensive effort here. He looked good with his defensive effort against the Cavs but they still gave up 108 points in that game and the Celtics have a much stronger scoring offense for them to stop here. I expect the Celtics to put up points here and I think the Nets are going to have to put up a ton of points themselves to keep up with the Celtics in this game. The Celtics have also looked really good lately and they have been really good in their home games. They have had 230+ total points in 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they put up 120+ points themselves in 4 of those games, including their 2 most recent games. Their defensive effort hasn't been that great either and they have given up 100+ points in 7/8 of their previous 8 games. I expect this offense to score with Tatum and Brown playing the way they have been but Durant and Irving have also been hot and I think they will have no issues putting up points with the way the Celtics have looked on defense too. I'm expecting a high scoring game here with a ton of points from both teams, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 122-118 Celtics. |

04-16-22 | Maple Leafs v. Senators OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Maple Leafs/Senators OVER. I am on the over in the Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators game on Saturday. The Maple Leafs have been really hot lately and they have looked really good on the offensive end in these games. They have been involved in a lot of high scoring games like their 2 most recent games and 9/10 of their previous 10 games have seen 7+ goals too. They just scored 7 goals themselves on the Capitals in their most recent game and I think they will have another high scoring game against their Ontario rival here. Their goaltending hasn't been the sharpest though, giving up 3+ goals in 4/5 of their previous 5 games but their offense has been getting them out of trouble and this is a game that the Senators always come to play really hard. Auston Matthews is also on pace to break records this year for the league and the franchise so they have plenty of motivation to keep winning games and scoring tons of goals in the process. The Senators have had a really bad year and are 1 of the worst teams in the East this year but they have looked a lot better lately with 2 wins in a row and they always stay competitive in these games with the Leafs. They have scored 3+ goals in their 3 most recent games too and I think they will find the net here with no issues since they have looked a lot better and the Leafs goaltending isn't great either. The Senators have struggled with their goaltending all year though and I expect the Leafs to score almost 6 goals themselves in this game. I'm expecting a ton of goals in this game, I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Maple Leafs. |

04-16-22 | Angels -118 v. Rangers | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. The Rangers haven't looked great this year already but the Angels are off to a much better start than they were last year. They expect to have a much better year with Mike Trout back in the lineup again and I think they can win this game over the Rangers after splitting the 1st 2 games already. The runs have not been an issue for them since they have scored 5+ runs in both games and they even put up 10 runs in their most recent game. Their pitching wasn't great in those games though nut I think they are going to have a much better game pitching with Noah Syndergaard (1-0, 0.00 ERA) starting for them here. Syndergaard made it through a bit over 5 innings in his 1st start, giving up no runs and only 2 hits while he and his team held off the Astros for a 2-0 win. The fact that they can win a low scoring game like that against the Astros with just their pitching says a lot about them and I think they can have another great game on the mound here. Taylor Hearn (0-0, 2.25 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he also looked good in his 1st start giving up just 1 run, but he also played in less innings than Syndergaard did and Hearn also gave up 8 hits which he managed to pitch his way out of but that could have been a lot worse putting those players into scoring position like that. I think if that happens again in this game the lineup for the Angels will make sure that he pays and i expect him to give up more runs in this start. I like the Angels to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Angels. |

04-16-22 | Raptors v. 76ers -4.5 | 111-131 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Toronto Raptors in this game on Saturday. The 76ers have looked good in their games lately and I think they can carry over that momentum into this series, winning this 1st game. They won 2 games in a row to end the regular season but they have also won 5/6 of their previous 6 games and that 1 loss was against the Raptors in a road game. The 76ers are on their home court to start this series and I think they will be looking for some revenge in this game. Their 2 most recent wins both came by 10+ points and they were resting Embiid in their final game of the season too. He has looked really good in the games he has been playing in though and I think he is going to help lead his team to a huge win over the Raptors and I also expect Harden to have a big night now that the playoffs have arrived. The Raptors have also looked good in their games lately, they did win 3 games in a row but lost in their most recent game to the Knicks after resting a majority of their starters in that game. They still didn't look good in that game though and I think the 76ers have a deeper bench that will help them stay ahead in this game. The Raptors a good team with their starting rotation but their bench is not as deep as it used to be in years and I think that is going to be the difference for them here in this road game. Fred VanVleet has also been banged up lately and even if he returns for this game, he has still missed their 3 most recent games and he didn't have a huge impact in the few games he played before going out with an injury. I like the 76ers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 111-101 76ers. |

04-16-22 | Jazz v. Mavs +5.5 | 99-93 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread in this game on Saturday. The Mavericks have looked really good in their games lately and I think they can continue on their run into the playoffs here winning this 1st game of the series. They have won 4 games in a row now and they even won 7/8 of their final 8 games of the regular season when they had already pretty much locked up a spot in the playoffs. They have been putting up a ton of points in their games too and I expect them to have a huge game on the offensive end. They have put up 125+ points in 3 games in a row now and I think they are going to be a handful for the Jazz on their home court here. The Mavericks have looked even better on their home court in their games lately, they have won 6 home games in a row now and have won all of those games by 10+ points, including a home win over the Jazz during that time. The Jazz haven't looked great lately and I think their issues are going to pop up in this game with it being in such a hostile environment for them. Luka Doncic is going to miss this game which does give a bit of a blow to the Mavericks here but they have been getting on fine without him lately and there is also a chance that Donovan Mitchell is going to miss this game for the Jazz. He is questionable with an illness but even if he plays he might not be at his best and the team really struggles when he's out of the rotation. I think the Mavericks are going to hold up fine in this game on their home court and I think they can even pull off a huge win on their home court here. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 112-107 Mavericks. |

04-15-22 | Hawks v. Cavs OVER 222.5 | 107-101 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Cavaliers OVER. I am on the over in the Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers game on Friday. The Hawks have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately and that continued the other night in their 1st game of this play-in tournament. They put up 130+ points on the Hornets in that game but that has been a common theme for them in their games lately. They have put up 100+ points in 22 games in a row with both teams scoring 100+ points in all of those games. They have also put up 130+ points in 2 games in a row now and I think they will put up a ton of points in this game too. The Hawks have been a heavy offensive team all year and they don't really play defense in their games since they rely on their offense and 3 point game to carry them to wins. The Cavaliers have been good all year though and I think they will give the Hawks a very good challenge on their home court in this game. The Hawks have given up 100+ points in 35 games in a row now and I expect the Cavaliers to be right there with them all night. The Cavaliers have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs themselves lately and have put up 100+ points in 9 games in a row now, with both teams putting up 100+ points in all of those games. Their defense hasn't been great lately either though and they have given up 115+ points in 4 games in a row. The Cavs just played the Hawks in Atlanta a few weeks ago and the Hawks on that game 131-107. I still think the Hawks are going to put up a ton of points on them here in this road game like they did in that previous game but I expect the Cavaliers to be better on offense here on their home court and with neither team playing great defense, I expect to see a ton of points from both sides. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-124 Hawks. |

04-15-22 | Giants v. Guardians +142 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians. I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Friday. The Guardians just had Thursday off and I expect them to come out on Friday with some big hits since their bats have been really hot lately. The Guardians have won 4 games in a row now, sweeping the Reds in their last series, and they have been putting up a ton of runs in the process too. Their pitching has slipped up in some spots but they've also had really good pitching in some of their games too and their bats have put up 7+ runs in 4 games in a row now. I think having Thursday off will help them recharge for this game and I like the pitching matchup with them going against Rodon here. Rodon had a good 1st start this year but he was just acquired this offseason from the White Sox and these batters on the Guardians have had plenty of experience going against him. I think he is going to get rocked in this game and I expect Plesac to keep the Giants from bringing in any runs in this game. Plesac had a great 1st start this year, giving up no runs and only 3 hits, almost making it to the 7th inning in his start. I think the Giants will struggle to get hits on him here since they haven't been scoring a lot of runs this year anyway. They have won 4/6 of their games so far and they had 1 game where they put up 13 runs in but other than that 1 game, they have only put up more than 3 runs on 1 other occasion. I think the Guardians have the better pitching matchup here and I like the rhythm their batters have been in, I expect them to stay hot here. I like the Guardians to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Guardians. |

04-15-22 | Islanders -140 v. Canadiens | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Montreal Canadiens on Friday. The Islanders just lost their most recent game to the Penguins 6-3 and that came right after a win on home ice against the Penguins a few nights before. The Penguins really dominated the Islanders in that game and I think the Islanders are due for a bounce back in this game. They have looked good over the past 2 weeks and I think they have looked a lot better than the Canadiens have lately. The Canadiens have lost 3 games in a row now with their 2 most recent losses coming by 2+ goals. They only scored 3 goals in those 2 games and gave up 9 total to 2 teams that will not even be in the playoffs this year. The Islanders don't have a great chance of making it to the playoffs either but they have been getting hot lately. The Canadiens looked terrible in their loss to the Blue Jackets getting destroyed 5-1 and even in their game before that, they lost on home ice 4-2 to the Jets and trailed in that game for most of the time. The Canadiens are probably going to finish as the worst team in the East this year and the rest of the season is a total write off for them. I like how the Islanders have been playing lately and I want to ride them in this game while they are still hot and while the Canadiens are still slumping. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Islanders. |

04-14-22 | Golden Knights v. Flames -153 | 6-1 | Loss | -153 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames. I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. The Flames have looked really good in their games lately and I think they will extend their run here with another win on home ice. They have won 5 games in a row now and have looked great in all of those games, with the 4 most recent games all being won by 2+ goals. The Flames have been putting a lot of pucks in the net lately too, scoring 4+ goals in 4 games in a row now. They are on home ice here and I think they are going to continue scoring tons of goals in their games while they are really hot at the moment. The Flames lead the Pacific Division in points at the moment and are 1 of the best teams in the West while the Knights sit in 4th place in their division, in the hunt for a playoff spot still. They haven't looked great in their games lately though and I think the Flames are going to skate circles around them in this game. Vegas has lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games and both losses were to the Canucks who they have seen 3 times in their previous 4 games now. They have had a very weak schedule over the past few weeks and I think that is going to come back to bite them in this game. The Flames are 1 of the best teams in the West and have been winning a lot of games lately against good opposing teams. The Golden Knights have been winning games lately but they have been playing teams like the Coyotes, Canucks, Kraken, and Blackhawks in their previous 7 games without seeing another opposing team during that time. All of those teams except for the Canucks are out of playoff contention already and the Canucks were the team they lost to twice during that time. They are going to be no match in this road game against the Flames on home ice. I like the Flames to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Flames. |

04-14-22 | Cardinals +130 v. Brewers | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. The Cardinals have looked good this year already with a 3-1 start and I expect them to be well rested for this game since they have had 3 days off already since the start of the season. The Brewers haven't looked good in their start with just an even 3-3 record but they have lost some questionable games already, including 1 to the Orioles, and their hitting hasn't been great so far, failing to show up on a few occasions this year already. Adam Wainwright (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Cardinals and he looked really good in his 1st start earlier this year. He gave up 5 hits but no runs in the 6 innings he played in and his team really backed him up with run support too, winning that game 9-0. I think he is the best starter on their staff and he always gives his team a chance to win like the seasoned vet that he is. His team also always has confidence with him on the mound and they tend to hit better in those games too. The Brewers have Brandon Woodruff (0-1, 17.18 ERA) going in this game and he already had a terrible 1st start this year. Woodruff only played a little under 4 innings in that game but he gave up 7 runs on 6 hits, also walking 3 batters in that game too. He also hit 2 batters and his team offered him no run support in that game, going on to lose 9-0. I don't think the Brewers have been that great this year and until they start to hit the ball better, I can't be backing this team here against Wainwright. I like the Cardinals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Cardinals. |

04-13-22 | Canadiens +155 v. Blue Jackets | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Columbus Blue Jackets in this game on Wednesday. The Canadiens have lost 2 games in a row now and they haven't looked great in a lot of their games lately but I think they are going to bounce back in this game. They just lost 2 big games in a row that they are going to be looking to get back here, 1 was a road loss against the Leafs and the other was a home loss to the Jets 4-2 in a game they trailed for a good majority. I think the Canadiens are going to have a bit of pride here and play a good game. The Blue Jackets haven't looked great themselves anyway and they have been struggling all year just like the Canadiens. The Blue Jackets have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but those have also been their only 2 wins in their previous 10 games. They have also looked terrible in their home games lately with both of those wins coming in road games and they have actually lost 3 home games in a row now. Even their last win wasn't that great since they had to go to OT to win it against the Red Wings who have also struggled this year, and they blew a 4-2 lead in the last 10 mins of that game to send it to OT when they should've just won it regulation. I think the Canadiens can take advantage of another struggling team here and I like them to win this game and bounce back from their previous 2 losses. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canadiens. |

04-13-22 | Hornets v. Hawks OVER 235.5 | 103-132 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hornets/Hawks OVER. I am on the over in this Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks game on Wednesday. The Hornets have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately and I think this is going to be another one for them. They have been putting up a ton of points in their games lately, putting up 100+ points in 28 games in a row with a majority of those games seeing them score 120+ points. Even in their 3 most recent games they have put up 120+ points in all of them but their defensive effort has been terrible and they have been giving up a lot of points too. They have given up 100+ points in 18 games in a row and their defensive effort has been so bad in games lately that 2/5 of their previous 5 games have seen them give up 140+ points. The Hawks are not really the type of team to play good defense either and they have been giving up a ton of points in their games too. They have given up 100+ points in 34 games in a row and they keep having to put up a ton of points themselves to match in these games because their defensive effort in games is non-existent. They have also put up 100+ points themselves in 21 games in a row and I think they are going to put up a ton of points here. Neither team plays defense here and the Hawks have looked a lot better lately. They are on their home court for this game and they have looked a lot better in their home games this year. I think they are going to put up a lot of points on the Hornets here since they don't really play defense but neither do the Hawks and I don't think the Hornets will have issues trying to match the Hawks with their scoring to keep up in this game. I think both teams will push each other to score more points here and I am expecting a high scoring game from these 2. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 131-128 Hawks. |

04-12-22 | Clippers +3 v. Wolves | 104-109 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Clippers. I like the LA Clippers to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Tuesday. The Clippers have looked good in their games lately and I think they can win this game outright with how good they have looked lately. They have won 5 games in a row now and they picked the right time to start getting hot with this play-in tournament coming up. They have looked really good in those games winning a majority of them by 10+ points and I think they have a good chance of winning this game. The Timberwolves haven't been great lately and have looked really shaky in these final games of the regular season. They only have 1 win in their previous 3 games and they barely won that game on their home court by 6 points. Paul George returned to the Clippers rotation not too long ago and he has looked good in his games so far. I think he is going to play a big role in this game and I expect the Clippers to play with more of a defensive effort here. They ended the year off strong and didn't give up 100+ points in their 2 most recent games. I think they are going to carry over that same defensive intensity in this game and I expect them to stunt the Timberwolves on offense here who will want to just keep putting up points. The Timberwolves have looked really good on offense lately but their defense has been terrible giving up a lot of points in their games. I think their defensive effort is going to be the difference this game. I like the Clippers to cover the spread here. T.M. Selection: 107-103 Clippers. |

04-12-22 | Hurricanes -119 v. Rangers | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers in this game on Tuesday. The Hurricanes have looked good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on a roll here and win over the Rangers. They just won their most recent game bouncing back from a bad loss at home by 1 goal in their game before. They have still won 2/3 of their previous 3 games though and they have won both of those games by 2+ goals. The Hurricanes are in 1st place in their division at the moment but they are trying to fend off the Rangers here who can tie them in points with a win. I think the Hurricanes are going to step up their game here to make sure that doesn't happen. The Hurricanes have scored a lot of goals in their 3 most recent games but they haven't been giving up many goals either and I think that is going to be key here. The Rangers have had issues with scoring goals at full strength and I think the Hurricanes will be disciplined here to not give the Rangers any chances to catch their breath. The Rangers have also looked good lately winning 3 games in a row but 2 of those wins were against teams who have already been eliminated from the playoffs and I think they are going to have a very tough challenge on their hands here. The Hurricanes have been getting hot in the scoring department and I think their ability to score goals at even strength is what is going to set them apart in this game. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Hurricanes. |

04-12-22 | Mets v. Phillies -145 | 2-0 | Loss | -145 | 5 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies. I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the New York Mets in this game on Tuesday. The Phillies are off to a hot start this year with only 1 loss in their 1st 4 games. They won their 1st series over the A's and they were on their way to a 4-0 loss yesterday but made a big comeback, putting up 5 runs in the 8th inning to win that 1st game over the Mets. I think the Phillies can do the same here and I think they have the better pitching matchup in this game to do it. Tylor Megill (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Mets here and he had a great 1st outing last week but I don't think he is going to do it again here and the bullpen already blew the most recent game for the Mets so even if he pitches really well he won't play the full game since he was pulled in the 5th inning with no hits in his 1st start. I think the Mets bullpen will blow the game again once he comes out like they have in their 2 most recent games. Zack Wheeler (0-0, 0.00 ERA) hasn't played a game this year but he had a good season last year and I think he is going to be fired up to play against his former team. I expect him to pitch a great game with that extra juice and I think the bullpen will hold it together since the Mets have had a lot of opportunities to score lately but haven't been driving in as many runs as they should be with their scoring chances lately. I think the Phillies are going to stay hot here and win this game over the Mets. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Phillies. |

04-11-22 | Jets v. Canadiens +125 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. The Canadiens have been one of the worst teams in the league all year and they are in last place in the East at the moment but they haven't looked terrible in their games lately. They have won 2/4 of their previous 4 games and 1 was a nice OT win over the Lightning in a road game while the other was another road win 7-4 over the Devils. They did have 1 bad loss in there to the Senators but their most recent loss was actually a close game with their rival team, the Leafs, and they only lost that game by 1 goal and had a chance to win it for most of the game. I think the Canadiens are going to be looking for another win here and they really have nothing left to play for but pride and that is a big thing when you play for the Canadiens. They also have some rest for this game and I think that is going to play a factor here too. The Jets are playing on a B2B here after winning a road game in Ottawa by 1 goal. The Jets haven't been great lately though and that win actually broke them out of a funk where they had lost 4 games in a row. The Jets still have a slight chance to make the playoffs in a Wild Card spot but it is looking really bleak for them and the Canadiens have a chance to add another dagger to their year here. I think the Jets are going to struggle in this road game on the B2B with how bad they have looked lately and I like the Canadiens to bounce back after a tough loss to the Leafs. I like the Canadiens to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Canadiens. |

04-11-22 | Brewers -145 v. Orioles | 0-2 | Loss | -145 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Brewers opened their year with 2 losses in a row and they were even down 3-0 in the 1st inning on Sunday, on their way to being swept by the Cubs in their opening series they made a come back and managed to get the win by 1 run. I think that win gave them a bit of momentum moving forward and I expect them to play a lot better in their next series here. The pitching has been terrible for the Brewers so far but I think they will start to turn things around here after a shaky start. They still put up quite a few runs in that series and the Orioles really haven't done much in their 1st series. The Orioles got swept by the Rays in their opening series and they only put up 4 runs total in those 3 games while giving up almost 20 runs themselves. I think there is going to plenty of opportunities for the Brewers to get some hits here and put up runs on the Orioles and I think they will blow past them getting back in their groove from last year. Bruce Zimmermann (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Orioles and he didn't have a great season last year. He finished the 2021 season 4-5 with a 5.04 ERA and he already looked terrible in Spring training too. He only played in 8 innings in Spring training this year but he gave up 8 runs in those 8 innings and I think the Brewers will be able to put up a ton on him in this game. Adrian Houser (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is in for the Brewers and he is coming off a really good year. He finished the 2021 season 10-6 with a 3.22 ERA and he was 1 of the better pitchers on their staff last year. I think he is going to come out and pitch a gem in his 1st start this year and I expect the Orioles to struggle putting up runs on him like they did in their whole series against the Rays. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Brewers. |

04-10-22 | Celtics -2 v. Grizzlies | 139-110 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Sunday. This is the final game of the regular season for both of these teams and both have already clinched their spot in the postseason this year but this game has a bit more importance for the Celtics here. The Grizzlies have already cemented their spot in 2nd place in the West and no one will be taking that spot from them but the East is still very close and this 1 game could shake up the current seeding going into the playoffs. I think the Celtics have incentive to win this game still since they can move up in the standings only 1 game behind the Bucks and they are also tied with the 76ers so a loss could actually mean dropping a spot. Ja Morant has been out for the Grizzlies over their past few games, he is healthy and ready to return but the Grizzlies should really be resting some of their star players getting them ready for the playoffs, especially the ones that have been hurt lately. The Celtics have been hot lately with 3 wins in a row but they just lost their most recent game to the Bucks which was a big loss for them considering the standings and I think they will try to bounce back here. The Grizzlies haven't looked that great lately losing 2 wins in a row before winning in their most recent game which was also the return of Ja Morant. They destroyed the Pelicans in that game by 20+ points putting up 140+ points themselves but they are also on a B2B here while the Celtics haven't played since Thursday and I think the Grizzlies are going to be tired here. I expect their stars to get less minutes in this game considering their spot in the standings and the B2B they are playing on so I like the rested Celtics to come in and end their season off with a win. I like the Celtics to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 117-110 Celtics. |

04-10-22 | Stars v. Blackhawks +140 | 6-4 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Blackhawks. I like the Chicago Blackhawks to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Sunday. The Blackhawks haven't looked great lately with 6 losses in a row but they haven't really been getting blown out in a lot of those losses either. They lost 3 of those games by just 1 goal and I think they can bounce back here on home ice and break out of their funk a bit with a win. They were shut out on home ice in their most recent game and they were shut out by the Kraken who are 2nd to last in the West. That is a really embarrassing loss for them on home ice and I think their pride will come out in this game leading them to score more goals. I expect a much harder effort from them in this game after a game where they were shut out and especially after the team they were shut out by. The Stars haven't looked great lately either and I think the Blackhawks are catching them in a good spot here. The Stars have lost 2 games in a row and are on a B2B here in a road game right after losing on home ice to the Devils the day before. They have had some bad losses lately, losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games and 2 of those losses coming against some of the worst teams in the league. I think the Stars have fallen into a bit of a funk at the moment and I see them continuing to struggle in this game with an angry Blackhawks team coming at them here. I like the Blackhawks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Blackhawks. |

04-10-22 | Marlins v. Giants -115 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The Giants have already split their 1st 2 games of the year with the Marlins, winning their home opener but losing in their most recent game. They only lost to the Marlins 2-1 in a close game that was dominated by pitching by the hits were still even at 5 a piece. I think the bats for the Giants are going to have a better day here though. Trevor Rogers (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is the starting pitcher for the Marlins here and he had a great season last year, finishing the 2021 season 7-8 with a 2.64 ERA. He did pitch really well in a lot of his games last year but his team didn't really benefit from it a majority of the time since he still finished 7-8 and his team was 11-14 in the games he started in. He has also pitched a few innings in Spring training this year and he looked terrible giving up 5 runs and 10 hits in the 11 innings he pitched in. I think the Giants are going to get some hits on him here and put themselves into scoring positions early in this game. The Giants have Anthony DeSclafani (0-0, 0.00 ERA) pitching for them in this game and he looked really good for them last year. He finished the 2021 season 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA and not only did he pitch really well and not give up a lot of runs all year, but his team did benefit from his performances as he had a winning record himself but the team was also 21-10 in the games he started. I think the Giants have the advantage here with their starter and their bullpen. I also think they are going to get some hits in this game and put up the runs on the Marlins here. I like the Giants to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Giants. |

04-10-22 | Mets v. Nationals +127 | 2-4 | Win | 127 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Nationals. I like the Washington Nationals to win this game against the New York Mets on Sunday. The Nationals have already lost 3 games in a row to the Mets to start their year off and all 3 losses were at home too. This is the final home game of their opening series with the Mets before they go on a road trip for the next 2 series' and I think the Nats are going to prevent getting swept here. I expect their pride to come out in this game since the Mets have been terrible over the past few years and to lose that much to a division rival and on their home field too has to be leaving a bad taste in their mouths. The Mets have gotten a lot better in the offseason but I think the Nats have the more favorable pitching matchup here and I expect them to take advantage of it to get their 1st win of the year here. Carlos Carrasco (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is getting his 1st start of the year for the Mets here and he isn't really coming off a great year. He finished the 2021 season 1-5 with a 6.04 ERA and he was consistently bad throughout the year. He even pitched in 8 innings in Spring training this year and he still looked bad giving up 5 runs in those 8 innings with 10 hits too. I think the Nats will get hits and put up runs on him in this game and I expect them to try even harder here after a game where they put up nothing. Erick Fedde (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Nats here and he didn't have a great season last year but he looked a lot better in Spring training this year and I think he can come out and make improvements here on his season from last year. He pitched in a little over 9 innings in Spring training this year and didn't give up any runs. I think he is going to have a good game here and I see the Mets struggling to put up runs on him here. I don't think the Nationals are going to get swept by the Mets in their opening series here. I like the Nationals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Nationals. |

04-09-22 | Kings v. Clippers -11 | Top | 98-117 | Win | 100 | 15 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Clippers. I like the LA Clippers to cover the spread against the Sacramento Kings in this game on Saturday. The Clippers have looked good in their games lately and they are getting very hot right as the playoffs are about to begin. They have won 3 games in a row and a majority of those wins were by 10+ points. They just a won a home game against the Suns and they also have wins over the Pelicans by 19 and the Bucks by 30+ points in a road game where they scored 150+ points. The Clippers still have 2 games left but they have already guaranteed themselves a game in the play-in tournament against the T-Wolves. I think the Clippers are going to have another great game on their home court here and I think they are going to use this game to stay hot going into the playoffs. The Kings haven't looked great lately so this game will be a great momentum booster if they can continue to win and launch themselves into the play-in tournament on a winning run. The 3 most recent losses for the Kings were all by 14+ points and the only 2 wins they have in between are both wins over the Rockets who are poised to finish as the worst team in the West. Paul George already missed a lot of the season due to injury so I expect them to play him in this game and a good amount of minutes too so he can get warmed up and get into his groove for the important games. I like the Clippers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 123-100 Clippers. |

04-09-22 | Astros v. Angels +112 | 0-2 | Win | 112 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Houston Astros on Saturday. The Angels have already had a terrible start to their year losing 2 games in a row including their home opener. They lost a close 3-1 game in their home opener but was Friday was less forgiving for them since they lost 13-6. I think they are going to bounce back and get their 1st win of the year here. They were still able to put up 6 runs yesterday despite the demotivating deficit they were in and I think they can replicate that in this game. Justin Verlander (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is making his 1st start of the season but he missed the entire 2021 season with an injury and he will be making his 1st start here since July of 2020 and he only pitched in 1 game that season so really, he is making his 2nd start in over 2 years. I think he is going to get rocked on the mound in his 1st game back here and I expect the Angels to put up a ton of runs on him early. Verlander is an older player and with all of the injuries he has sustained over the past 2 years, I think he is going to need some time to ramp up so I don't like him in his 1st start here. The Angels have Noah Syndergaard (0-0, 0.00 ERA) making his debut here and I expect a great performance from him with his new team here. He has also missed a lot of time over the last 2 seasons due to injury but I think a lot of that had to do with him not wanting to be on the Mets anymore last year and I think he will be coming out with a chip on his shoulder here, trying to prove something to his old team. I like the Angels to bounce back in this game and get their 1st win of the year. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Angels. |

04-09-22 | Indians v. Royals -115 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals. I like the Kansas City Royals to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. These 2 have only played the 1 game this year and the Royals took their home opener 3-1 over the Guardians on Thursday. I think they can repeat that game and get another win here in their 2nd game of the season. The Guardians have Zach Plesac (0-0, 0.00 ERA) starting today and he didn't have a great season last year. He finished the 2021 season 10-6 with a 4.67 ERA and he was giving up a lot of runs in his final few games last year. I think he is going to have a bad day pitching here and it should be enough for the Royals to capitalize early. Their bullpen kept them in that game on Thursday, holding down the Guardians to just 1 run and I think the Royals can do it again in this game. The Guardians have a significantly weaker batting lineup compared to last year and I think the Royals are going to get a lot more hits than the Guardians like they did in the 1st game. Brad Keller (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Royals and he wasn't great last year but I expect him to have a better start here. I think the Guardians are still going to struggle to get hits in this game and I like the Royals to repeat what they did to them on Thursday. I like the Royals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Royals. |

04-09-22 | Brewers -152 v. Cubs | 0-9 | Loss | -152 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The Brewers lost their 1st game of the year on opening day to the Cubs 5-4 but I think they are going to bounce back here and pick up their 1st win. That was a very close game in score and I think the Brewers will be the ones who come out ahead in this game. The Brewers have Justin Steele (0-0, 0.00 ERA) making his season debut in this game and he wasn't that great last year. He finished the 2021 season 4-4 with a 4.26 ERA and that was his 1st season pitching in the MLB. This is only his 2nd year in the league and now that there is a lot more information available on him for this year, I think he is going to get rocked in this game. The Brewers still have a very strong batting lineup and I expect them to put up the runs on Steele in this game. Brandon Woodruff (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Brewers here and he had a great year that he will be looking to improve on even more. He finished the 2021 season 9-10 with a 2.56 ERA and he had a lot of games where he only gave up 1 run in it. I think the Brewers have a very big pitching advantage in this game with their starter and they still have their bullpen to back him up which is also very good. The Brewers were a playoff team last year and I expect them to get their season back on track here by getting their 1st win. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Brewers. |

04-08-22 | Astros v. Angels OVER 9.5 | 13-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Astros/Angels OVER. I am on the over in the Houston Astros vs LA Angels game on Friday. The Astros started their year off on Thursday with a 3-1 win over the Angels but I am expecting a much higher scoring game here. The Astros still have tons of hitting power on their team and now that they have played in a real season game and have gotten the feel for it, I expect to see them put up a lot more runs today. Reid Detmers (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is the starter for the Angels and he finished the 2021 season 1-3 with a 7.40 ERA. He only had 5 starts last year but he gave up a ton of runs in a majority of the games he played in and he didn't even make it to the 4th inning in his 2 most recent starts. He got some work in Spring training this year but he didn't look great, only giving up 2 runs in his 6 innings played but he also gave up 6 hits and I think he will get rocked by a powerful Astros lineup here. The Angels also have their own big hitters though and I expect them to put up runs on the board to stay in this game and keep up with the Astros. Jake Odorizzi (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Astros and he had a shaky season last year. He finished the 2021 season 6-7 with a 4.21 ERA and I think he's not going to get off to a great start here. The last few years he has started off really slow and last year he had a 10+ ERA through his 1st 3 starts. I think he is going to have another rough start to the season like his past suggests and I see both teams getting a lot more hits in this game after a low scoring game in their 1st of the year. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Astros. |

04-08-22 | Blazers +18.5 v. Mavs | 78-128 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Friday. The Trail Blazers have lost 9 games in a row now and they haven't looked good lately at all. They only have 2 games left before their year is over and I think they are going to try to go out on the right foot with a win in 1 of these final 2 games. I don't think they will actually get another win before the regular season is up but I think they can keep this game close enough to cover the spread in it. The Mavericks have looked good lately with 2 wins in a row and they have only lost 1 time in their previous 6 games too. They have already secured their spot in the playoffs and are only playing for seeding at the moment but they are better off using this game to rest some players and considering how bad the Trail Blazers have been lately, I can see the Mavericks resting their players here once they take a lead here and I expect to get a backdoor cover from the Trail Blazers if they aren't hanging in the game from the start like I think they will. I think the Mavericks aren't going to take them seriously in this game and I see there being opportunity here for the Trail Blazers to keep this game within the spread. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 124-113 Mavericks. |

04-08-22 | Wild v. Blues -101 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues. I like the St Louis Blues to win this game against the Minnesota Wild in this game on Friday. The Blues have been hot lately with 3 wins in a row now and they have only lost 1 time in their previous 6 games. They have looked really good too with all 3 of their wins in a row coming by 2+ goals and I think they can carry over their momentum here and get another win over the Wild who have been very good this year. The Blues have been putting pucks in the net though and they have scored 9 goals in their 2 most recent games alone. They have also had some great goaltending in those games since they only gave up 1 goal in each. The Wild were on a huge run just over a week ago but once it was snapped they have struggled to get back on that pace. They just won 2 games in a row but their most recent game was a 6-2 loss to the Predators and the Wild didn't look good in that game at all. That is their 2nd loss in their previous 2 games and they are starting to look a bit shaky with their play. I think they are going to struggle again here in this road game and the Blues have also been really good on home ice lately too. I think the Blues have been hotter lately and I see them getting the win on their home ice here where they have looked great in their most recent games lately. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Blues. |

04-08-22 | Rangers v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 8-10 | Win | 120 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays -1.5. I like the Toronto Blue Jays runline against the Texas Rangers in this game on Friday. The Blue Jays put together a great season last year, they didn't make the playoffs but they were very close only 1 game out and they still had a 90+ win season too. They have made some good acquisitions during the offseason for both their pitching staff and their batting lineup and I think they are going to be a force in the AL East this year. I expect them to get their season started off on the right foot here and I like them to win by a few runs here. Jon Gray (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Rangers here and he didn't have a great season last year. He finished the 2021 season 8-12 with a 4.59 ERA and he really diminished near the end of the year in his final few starts. He played in 1 game in Spring training and he only gave up the 2 runs but he didn't look great giving up 8 hits and if he is giving up those kind of hits against the jays here, they are going to be in deep water today. Jose Berrios (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Blue Jays here and he pitched pretty well last year, finishing the 2021 season 12-9 with a 3.52 ERA. The Rangers haven't been a great team over the last few years and they have shed a lot of their big hitters in past offseasons. I think the Blue Jays have been raring to go and I expect them to come out with a boom in this opening game for them. I like the Blue Jays to win this game by 2+ runs. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Blue Jays. |

04-08-22 | Mariners +105 v. Twins | 2-1 | Win | 105 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Minnesota Twins in this game on Friday. This is the opening day for both of these teams and I think the Mariners are going to get their year off on the right foot. Robbie Ray (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is going to get the start in this game and he had a terrific season last year at 13-7 with a 2.84 ERA. This will be his 1st start for his new team here and I think he is going to make a big 1st impression with a great performance on the mound today. He was a big part of the Blue Jays pitching staff last season and a big reason why they finished so well with their record. I think he is going to build on the success of his season last year and I think the Mariners have the advantage with him on the mound over the Twins with Joe Ryan (0-0, 0.00 ERA) who will be on the mound for the Twins here. Joe Ryan finished the 2021 season 2-1 with a 4.05 ERA. He has only made 5 starts in his career and his team actually lost a majority of the games he started in last year. The Twins did make a move to pick up Carlos Correa in the offseason at a huge signing deal but I don't think he is going to make much of an impact in this game with it being their 1st of the year and I think the Mariners have the pitching advantage here with the moves they made in the offseason to support their starting rotation. I see the Mariners getting off to a great start here with a win over the Twins. I like the Mariners in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mariners. |

04-07-22 | Blazers +17 v. Pelicans | 94-127 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Thursday. The Trail Blazers have looked terrible down this final stretch of the regular season but they looked a lot better in their most recent game only losing by 4 points. They just played the Pelicans over a week ago and they lost that game but only by 10 points. The Trail Blazers are pretty much done for the year and they have even shut down most of their rotation for these final games. They still have a lot of young players on the court that have something to prove and I think they will be leaving everything on the court here in these final games of the regular season. The Pelicans have looked good in their games lately winning 4/5 of their previous 5 games but they aren't really the kind of team that has been blowing out their opposing teams and I don't think they are going to that in this game either. The Pelicans have already clinched a spot in the play-in games and with the number of games left in the regular season, they can only finish in 9th or 10th place and either way they would be playing the same team so the seeding really means nothing for them at this point. They are better off resting a majority of their rotation for most of this game and I think they will leave opportunity for the Trail Blazers to hang in there. The Trail Blazers may not be winning a lot of games but they still have players on the court who are giving their best effort every night and i think this is a good spot for them to at least keep this game close. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 109-102 Pelicans. |

04-07-22 | Reds v. Braves -1.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5. I like the Atlanta Braves runline against the Cincinnati Reds in this game on Thursday. The Braves are the defending World Series champions and I expect them to get off to a strong start here with a win by 2+ runs over the Reds. The Braves were great in the playoffs last year and they were a very dominant team despite not having a lot of the hitting power that some of the other teams they faced had. They did lose some of their hitting power in the offseason too but they also picked up some players to make up for that and the Braves' real strength is their pitching anyway. Max Fried (0-0, 0.00) is the starting pitcher for them in this game and he had a terrific season last year. He finished the 2021 season 14-7 with a 3.04 ERA and I think he is going to pitch a gem in his season debut here. The Braves are also playing on their home field here and I think they will want to start off their season with a big win in their home opener to show that this team is ready to win another World Series this year. They have even won 2 games in a row to end Spring training, including a game where they didn't even allow a run. The Reds have also been hot to end Spring training with 4 wins in a row but I think the Braves have the pitching advantage with their starter here and I also think they have a better bullpen too. Tyler Mahle (0-0, 0.00) is starting for the Reds here and he wasn't awful last year but he wasn't great either. He finished the 2021 season 13-6 with a 3.75 ERA and I think he is going to get lit up by the Braves here. The Reds really haven't done much to bolster their lineup for this year and the Braves not only have the better pitching staff here, but they also have the better hitters. I think the Braves are going to start their year off with a bang here and win this game by 2+ runs. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Braves. |

04-07-22 | Celtics +6 v. Bucks | 121-127 | Push | 0 | 12 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Thursday. The Celtics have looked great in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on their run here in this game. They have won 3 games in a row and their 2 most recent wins were both by 10+ points but they have also been putting up a ton of points in these games. They have put up 117+ points in all 3 of their wins, with 2 of those games seeing them put up 125+ points. They have also been giving a great defensive effort lately and have not given up 105+ points in their 2 most recent games. The Celtics have been hot for a while now and they have looked so good lately that they have even played themselves into 2nd place in the East. I think they have a good chance to win this game so giving them 6 points here I find very generous. The Bucks actually haven't looked that great in their games lately either and I think the Celtics have looked way better in their games. The Bucks just won their most recent game but they had lost 2 in a row before that and both of those losses even came on their home court. They were decimated in 1 of those games as they lost by 30+ points to the Clippers and gave up 150+ points to them in that game. They have been giving up a lot of points in their games lately and I think their defensive effort will be their downfall in this game. Their offense has been good lately but not as good as the Celtics have been, the Bucks have only put up 120+ points in 2/7 of their previous 7 games and that is going to be a problem for them here with the amount of points the Celtics have been putting up in their games lately. Both teams have already clinched a playoff spot but this game is still very important for seeding and could decide who takes on the 6th seed and who takes on a team from the play-in games. I think the Celtics have been really good lately and I think they can even win this game outright. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 118-114 Celtics. |

04-07-22 | Brewers -180 v. Cubs | 4-5 | Loss | -180 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on opening day Thursday. The Brewers ended their regular season last year as the best team in their division but they fizzled out in the playoffs and I think they are going to be looking for a strong start to this year's season. They have already been starting to get hot lately with 2 wins in a row to end Spring training and I think they can start their year off with a win here. Corbin Burnes (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is making the start for this game and he had a great year last year. He finished the 2021 season 11-5 with a 2.43 ERA. I think he can make a deep start into this game and will keep the Cubs' batters at bay here. The Cubs are trying to forget about a terrible season last year where they finished 4th in their division and missed the playoffs altogether. They haven't looked bad in Spring training this year but I think the Brewers have a major pitching advantage here. Kyle Hendricks (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is the starting pitcher for the Cubs here and he didn't really have a great season last year. He finished the 2021 season 14-7 with a 4.77 ERA and I think he is going to hit a snag in his season debut here. I expect the Brewers to have a big day with their hitting and I like them to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Brewers. |

04-06-22 | Wizards v. Hawks OVER 230.5 | 103-118 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wizards/Hawks OVER. I am on the over in the Washington Wizards vs Atlanta Hawks game on Wednesday. The Wizards have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately. They have had 230+ points total in 4 games in a row now and in all of those games there was 1 team that put up 125+ points themselves. The Wizards have been putting up 100+ points in 4 games in a row and they have also done it in 7/8 of their previous 8 games. I think this is going to be another game that they put up a ton of points in since the Hawks don't really play defense that great. The Wizards have given up 100+ points in 6 games in a row themselves and in 18/19 of their previous 19 games. The Wizards have also been terrible with their defensive effort this year and they have blown a few 20 point leads over the past few weeks that just shows how bad their defensive effort really is in their games. They have also looked a lot better in their games lately though, winning 3/4 of their previous 4 games and scoring 125+ points in all 3 of those wins. I think they are going to continue playing hot here and put up a lot of points on the Hawks who won't offer a lot of defensive resistance. The Hawks have also been involved in a lot of high scoring games themselves lately, playing 18 games in a row with 220+ points total and a majority of those games were games where there was 230+ points total. The Hawks have put up 120+ points in 6 games in a row and they have given up 110+ points in 8/9 of their previous 9 games. Both of these teams have been pouring on the points in their games lately and partly because neither team really plays defense in their games so they both have to keep putting up points to stay in the games they are in. I see there being a lot of points in this game too. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 132-125 Hawks. |

04-06-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Blues -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 115 | 15 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues. I like the St Louis Blues on the puckline against the Seattle Kraken in this game on Wednesday. The Blues have looked a lot better in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on their run here and have another big game over the Kraken here. The Blues have won 2 games in a row now with both wins being by 2+ goals but they have also won 4/5 of their previous 5 games with a majority of those wins being by 2+ goals too. The Blues have also been great on home ice this year and I think they are going to smack a team like the Kraken here who have been 1 of the worst teams in the league all year and have been terrible in road games altogether. The Blues just routed a team of the Kraken's stature with a 5-1 win on home ice over the Coyotes and I think this is just a taste of what's to come from this team as they get ready for the playoffs. Now is the time to get hot before rolling into their 1st playoff series and I think they will take advantage of another easier game here since their schedules picks up a bit and gets tougher after this game. The Kraken just beat the Stars in their most recent game 4-1 but that game was on their home ice where they are much better, they have still been terrible lately despite that win though. They have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games and the 2 losses were both on home ice too, getting shut out in 1 game and losing 5-2 in the other. The Kraken have been terrible lately and their season is pretty much over already but the Blues still have plenty to play for and I expect them to start getting really hot since now. I like the Blues to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Blues. |

04-05-22 | Hornets +6 v. Heat | 115-144 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Charlotte Hornets. I like the Charlotte Hornets to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Tuesday. The Hornets have looked good in their games lately but they just lost a devastating game to the 76ers by 30 points and they were terrible with their defensive effort in that game, giving up 140+ points in the loss. I think they are going to bounce back with a better performance here and I expect them to be better on the defensive end too. The Heat have looked good on the defensive end this year and they are not really the kind of team that is going to put up 130+ points on the Hornets here. I think the Heat will keep this game more tame with their defensive effort and I expect the Hornets to stay in this game the entire time with their good offense. The Heat have won 4 games in a row now but I think they are due for a loss here. They won in much closer games in 2/3 of their previous 3 games and they didn't even put up 115+ points in either of those closer wins. The Hornets are also still fighting for seeding in this play-in tournament for the playoffs and they will have some motivation here to come out and win. The Heat have already clinched a playoff spot and have locked up their division so they really do not need to exert a lot of effort here and they are better off to just rest their players for the playoffs with only 4 games left on their schedule. I think this is a good spot for the Hornets to bounce back and upset the Heat here. I like the Hornets to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 116-110 Hornets. |

04-05-22 | Bruins v. Red Wings +1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Red Wings +1.5. I like the Detroit Red Wings on the puckline against the Boston Bruins in this game on Tuesday. The Red Wings haven't looked good in their games lately losing 6 games in a row now but I think they are due for a bounce back here and I think they are catching the Bruins at a good time. The Bruins have won 3 games in a row now and they have been blowing out their opposing teams in these games and scoring a ton of goals in the process. They didn't look good in their most recent game though, winning that game in OT over the Blue Jackets who have had their fair share of struggles lately. The Bruins were fine against the Jackets in their home game right before but they really struggled in that road game and that has been a common them for them lately in their road games. Their 2 most recent road games were both wins but both came after regulation. Most of their road games lately have actually been either losses or close wins that come after regulation and they have only won 1 road game by 2+ goals in their previous 6. This is a B2B for them too and I think they will be a bit tired which gives the rested Red Wings a better chance here to keep this game close. The Bruins already looked shaky in their most recent game and they have had a problem with playing in road games lately. I think this is the perfect spot for the Red Wings to at least put up a good fight and keep this a 1 goal game on home ice here. I like the Red Wings +1.5 here. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Red Wings. |

04-05-22 | Cavs v. Magic OVER 221 | 115-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cavaliers/Magic OVER. I am on the over in the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic game on Tuesday. The Cavaliers have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately with 220+ points in 4 games in a row now. They have also put up 100+ points in 5 games in a row now and have given up the same amount in those games. I think the Cavs are going to keep on that pace here and put up a ton of points on the Magic here who are 1 of the worst teams in the league as we near the end of the regular season. The Cavs have also looked a lot better in their games lately with a big win over the Knicks in a road game and a very close loss by 4 to the 76ers in a home game. I think they have also had a tougher schedule lately and I see their offense putting up a ton of points here as they still try to chase the Raptors for an actual playoff spot and not just a spot in the play-in games. The Magic haven't been a team that focuses on defense either and their defensive effort has been terrible in their games lately. They have given up 100+ points in 6 games in a row but they also had put up 100+ points themselves in 4 of those games. I think the Cavaliers are going to show no mercy here and just keep on putting more and more points in this game while the Magic struggle to keep up but are forced to put up more points with the lead continuing to grow throughout the game. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 122-101 Cavaliers. |

04-04-22 | Flames v. Kings +161 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings. I like the LA Kings to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Monday. The Kings have started to look a lot better in their games lately and they have won 2 games in a row now, including a 3-2 win in Calgary in a shootout the other night. Now the Kings are going to be on home ice here and I think they can continue on their streak here, adding another win over the Flames. The Kings have put together a great year so far and they are in 2nd place of their division at the moment, just 3 points behind the Flames in 1st. The Flames were very hot about a week ago, putting together a very nice run but they have slipped into a bit of a slump now and I think the Kings can take advantage of them here. The Flames have lost 3 games in a row now and all 3 of those losses were on home ice too. They haven't been able to score many goals in their previous 3 games and it wasn't until their most recent game where they finally scored 4 goals, but it didn't matter in the end since they gave up 6 goals anyway. The Kings haven't given up more than 2 goals in their previous 2 games and I think with the Flames already struggling to score goals lately, they are going to have a very difficult time scoring on the Kings here. They also played their previous 2 games in road games and I think the Kings will play even better defense here now that they are back on home ice. I expect them to keep the Flames out of their net here and come out with the win. The Flames have already slipped into a mini slump and I think they are going to continue on that losing skid. I like the Kings to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Kings. |

04-04-22 | North Carolina v. Kansas OVER 153 | Top | 69-72 | Loss | -110 | 38 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNC/Kansas OVER. I am on the over in the UNC vs Kansas game on Monday. UNC has looked good in this tournament so far, knocking off some really good opposing teams this year and they have been putting up a ton of points in the process. They have won 5 games in a row in this tournament and they have knocked off the 2nd seeded Duke, 4th seeded UCLA, and 1st seeded Baylor. I think they are going to continue on their hot streak here in the finals and I expect their offense to be on point like it has been throughout the entire tournament. They have put up 90+ points 2 times in their 5 games, 1 of those times was against the 1st seeded Baylor, and they just put up 80+ points in their most recent game against Duke in the final four. They have been able to hold down the offenses of the lower seeded teams in their games, keeping a few of them at low scores, but they struggled on the defensive end in their 2 games against the 2nd seeded and 1st seeded teams they faced. I think UNC is also going to struggle to keep Kansas off the board here and they are going to have to resort to their offense to keep up with Kansas in this game. Kansas has looked really good on defense in their games lately and they just held Villanova to 65 points in their most recent game but Kansas still managed to put up 80+ points in that game. As a 1st seeded team, Kansas hasn't had to face a lot of really good teams on their journey to this game and UNC is probably the best team they will have faced, other than Villanova. Villanova was a very defensive team though and UNC is the opposite focusing more on their offense in games and putting up a ton of points in those games. I think Kansas is going to struggle on the defensive end here to keep UNC off the board and I expect them to put up more offense to keep UNC down in this game. Kansas has also been really hot from the 3 lately and I think that is going to help surge them into a bigger lead which will force UNC to put up more offense to make a comeback. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 85-79 Kansas. |

04-03-22 | Wild v. Capitals -120 | 5-1 | Loss | -120 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals. I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Sunday. The Capitals just lost their most recent game on home ice and it was a bad game losing 6-1 to the Hurricanes. That game was last Monday though and they have had a week to sit on that loss and rest up for this game. I think the rest can only benefit a team like Washington, especially with older players such as Ovechkin, and I expect them to come out angry in this game looking to bounce back with a win. They should have some fire in them for this game after sitting a loss that bad for a week and the loss came on home ice too, which makes it even more important that they get that win back on home ice here. The Capitals haven't been terrible lately though, they actually won 2 games in a row before that loss in their most recent game and they were scoring goals too, scoring 4 goals in both of those games. The Wild are in a tough spot here and I think this is a bit of a let down game for them for their schedule lately. The Wild had 7 wins in a row before Pittsburgh ended that the other night but the Wild bounced back with a win in Carolina 3-1 on Saturday but now have to play on a B2B in Washington here. I think that win over the Hurricanes took a lot of energy out of them, to beat a good team like that in a road game and with the great defensive effort that they put into that game to keep the Hurricanes high flying offense to 1 goal. I think the Wild are going to be a bit tired here and with all of that travel, the Capitals have a huge advantage since they have been sitting at home for a week waiting for the Wild to come in to town. I think the Capitals will bounce back here after that bad loss. I like the Capitals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Capitals. |

04-03-22 | Pistons v. Pacers -2 | Top | 121-117 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indiana Pacers. I like the Indiana Pacers to cover the spread against the Detroit Pistons in this game on Sunday. The Pacers have looked terrible lately losing 6 games in a row now but I think they are due for a bounce back on their home court here and they haven't even been that terrible in their 2 most recent games either. They still lost their 2 most recent games but they kept those games a lot closer and I think they can take advantage of a team that is lower than they are in the standings and break out of their funk lately. They lost a game on their home court to the Nuggets by 7 points but that is not bad considering they were down by 25 points early in that game. Then in their most recent game, they lost in a road game to the Celtics but only by 5 points and they were hanging in tightly in that game. The Pacers have also played 5 games in a row against teams that will be featured in the playoffs this year while the Pistons will not be and they are actually the 2nd last team in the East. I think this is a good spot for the Pacers to bounce back in and get a win on their home court. The Pistons have won 2 games in a row and they have been playing a lot better toward the end of the year here but that good play lately has dropped off a bit and I think they are going to stumble now with a tough schedule to end the year. Despite winning 2 games in a row, the Pistons have still lost a majority of their previous 8 games and they haven't looked great in road games either with a good number of their losses lately coming in road games. I think this is a good bounce back spot for the Pacers here. I like the Pacers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-104 Pacers. |

04-02-22 | North Carolina v. Duke -3.5 | Top | 81-77 | Loss | -116 | 63 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Duke. I like Duke to cover the spread in this game against UNC on Saturday. Duke has looked really good in their games lately and I think they have been getting better and better as the tournament goes on. They have already knocked off 2 good teams in their 2 most recent games, winning against Arkansas and Texas Tech. Both were teams that looked really good on defense going into their games against Duke and they both came out losing in the end as Duke turned it up a notch in the final minutes of both games. They really had their foot down on Arkansas for that entire game and they went into the half with a 12 point lead, completely dominating that game from start to finish. UNC has also looked really good in their games lately, knocking off some big teams too like Baylor and UCLA. They took out Saint Peter's in their most recent game and that was a game that they dominated from the start, taking a 20 point lead into the half and winning by 20 points in the end. UNC has looked good in these games but they also haven't had the toughest path to this game either. Baylor was their toughest challenge while UCLA was already struggling coming into the tournament and they even caught a huge break in the Elite 8 with Saint Peter's, even though Saint Peter's was playing very well they were still a 15th seed and made it very easy on UNC to win that previous game. There has been a lot of emotions with this Duke team this year since it is the last season for Coach K and the team would like to send him into retirement with 1 more national title under his belt. I think the Duke players are going to be very motivated in this game with the championship game within reach now, and they already let UNC ruin the final home game for Coach K ever since they had a 10+ point lead in that game and managed to blow it, losing by 13 points on their home court to their own rival. I think they are still going to be fuming from that game and I expect them to give their best performance of the tournament here to boost their team into the finals. I think Duke is the better team here and I think they have the motivation and momentum to dominate in this game. I like Duke to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 84-74 Duke. |

04-02-22 | Villanova v. Kansas OVER 132.5 | 65-81 | Win | 100 | 61 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Villanova/Kansas OVER. I am on the over in the Villanova vs Kansas game on Saturday. Villanova hasn't been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately and they have really been turning up the heat on defense in their most recent games but I don't think this will be a game where Villanova will be able to dominate the game with their defensive abilities. They have done a good job holding their opposing teams in this tournament to less than 60 points in their 2 most recent games and even in the game before that they held Ohio State to just 61 points but I think Kansas is the strongest team they will have seen yet and I expect Kansas to take over this game with their offense like they did against Miami in the 2nd half of their previous game. Villanova does have a good offense and can put up a ton of points when they need to. They have very good shooters on their team and I think they can try to keep up with Kansas on the offensive if the pace picks up a bit in this game. Kansas has already had 3/4 of their tournament games here where they put up 75+ points in the game but they weren't really blowing teams out by 10+ points either and they have been giving up almost as many points as they have been scoring in a lot of their games. Kansas was trailing at the half in their most recent game but they managed to outscore Miami in the 2nd half 47-15. I think Villanova will find ways to put up points on them in this game but I also think they are going to be chasing Kansas for a majority of this game. With the stakes so high now and the Championship game just around the corner here, I don't see Kansas doing what they have done in their previous few games and I expect them to come out strong right from the start here. I see their being a lot of points in this game so I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 79-71 Kansas. |

04-02-22 | Penguins v. Avalanche -135 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colorado Avalanche. I like the Colorado Avalanche to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. The Avalanche have won 2 games in a row now but they have also looked really good in their games lately, stretching back over their previous 9. They have been racking up a lot of wins during this time and they have been winning a lot of those games by 2+ goals too. Their only loss over their previous 4 games was against the Wild in OT, losing that game 3-2 but the Wild have the 2nd most points in the West this year behind the Avalanche. The Avalanche just won their most recent game on home ice 4-2 over the Sharks but they beat the Flames in a road game right before beating the Sharks and the Flames are 1st place in their division in the West. The Avalanche are the best team in the league at the moment with the most points and they are also the only team with 100+ points this year. I think they are going to have no issues taking down the Penguins on home ice here and I expect them to win by a few goals since they have been really hot lately. The Penguins haven't looked great in their games lately, they did win their most recent game over the Wild who are really good this year, but they have only won 2/5 of their previous 5 games and their other win was an 11-2 destruction of 1 of the worst teams in the league this year, the Red Wings. The Penguins have 2 losses to the Rangers and 1 loss to the Sabres during that time and this has been an issue for the penguins lately, being unable to win many games against some of the better teams in the league. Even in their most recent game where they won over the Wild, they won 4-3 in OT and they even had a 3-1 lead in that game which they blew. This has been a common theme for the Penguins lately since they have struggled against the better teams in the league and I think they are going to have a tough time here in a road game against the best team in the league. The Avalanche have shown time and time again that they can compete with the best in the league and have been racking up many wins over good teams lately. I like the Avalanche to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Avalanche. |

04-02-22 | Cavs -1 v. Knicks | 119-101 | Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Cavaliers. I like the Cleveland Cavaliers to cover the spread against the New York Knicks in this game on Saturday. The Cavaliers haven't looked good in their games lately, they have won 1/6 games of their previous 6 and they have lost 2 games in a row now. They looked good in some of those losses though and they did have close games against the Bulls and mavericks and but their most recent game was a really bad loss to the Hawks in Atlanta and they lost that game by 20+ points. I think they are going to be looking to bounce back in this game though and the Knicks haven't exactly been having a great year. The Knicks won't be making a trip to the playoffs this year but the Cavs will be and I think they are going to step up in this game to get back on track and try to go on a run in their final games here going into the playoffs. The Knicks had actually won 4 games in a row before losing in their most recent game and that was a home loss by 10+ points for them. The Knicks have looked terrible in their home games this year and I think this is going to be another home game where they crack under the pressure of the fans. The Knicks haven't looked good at home all year and a big part of that is due to the fact that they were in the playoffs last year and are now the worst team in their division so the fans have been on their case about it all year, even booing certain players when they get the ball. Home games have almost turned into hostile environments for some of these Knicks players and I think it is only going to help the Cavs get a win here. I think the Knicks are going to continue their issues in home games here, I like the Cavaliers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 109-103 Cavaliers. |

04-01-22 | Blues v. Oilers -145 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the St. Louis Blues on Friday. The Oilers have looked a lot better lately and they have won 2 games in a row now after getting beaten down 9-5 by the Flames last weekend. Despite that loss, they have still won 3/4 of their previous 4 games and they have scored 4+ goals in 4 games in a row now. They just beat the Kings in a shootout in their most recent game but they are on home ice again here and the Blues haven't been great lately. I think the Oilers are going to be motivated to keep on their run here and win another game making it 3 in a row. The Blues have won 2 games in a row now but both of those wins were against the same team, the Canucks, and the Canucks aren't really 1 of the top teams this season, they aren't even on course to make the playoffs this year. The Blues actually lost 5/6 of their previous 6 games before those 2 wins and I think they are going to revert back to that play here against a much better team. Both of these teams are still fighting to keep their playoff spots but I think the Blues have been looking shaky lately while the Oilers have been trying to get hot with a lot more wins lately. I see there being a lot of goals here but I think the Oilers offense has been rolling lately and I expect them to stay hot while the Blues have shown to have scoring troubles in some of their games lately. I like the Oilers to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers. |

04-01-22 | Raptors v. Magic OVER 216 | 102-89 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Raptors/Magic OVER. I am on the over in the Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic game on Friday. The Raptors have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately and they have been putting up a ton of points in these games. They are playing the Magic here who have been 1 of the worst teams in the league all year and I think the Raptors are going to put up a ton of points on them here with how good they have looked in their games lately. The Raptors have won 4 games in a row and have put up 115+ points in all of those games. They haven't been giving a great defensive effort though and they have given up 100+ points in 3/4 of their previous 4 games. I think the Raptors are going to continue on their run here since they are occupying the 6th place spot at the moment and they would much rather keep that spot than have to play in a play-in game. The Magic have been terrible lately and have been giving up a ton of points in their games since they don't really play any defense. They have given up 100+ points in 4 games in a row and they have been doing it against teams that are just as bad as them and are near last place in the league. I think the Raptors offense has looked great lately led by Siakam and VanVleet and I don't think the Magic, who don't play any defense in their games, are going to be able to stop them here. The Raptors haven't been great with their defensive effort lately either and the Magic have still put up 100+ points in 4 games in a row. I think the Magic will put up a lot of points themselves but because they will be chasing the Raptors all night and I expect there to be a lot of scoring here. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 121-109 Raptors. |

03-31-22 | Bucks v. Nets OVER 238.5 | 120-119 | Win | 100 | 14 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Nets OVER. I am on the over in the Milwaukee Bucks vs Brooklyn Nets game on Thursday. The Bucks have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately but they have been putting up a ton of points themselves in these games. The Bucks have been putting up 100+ points in 25 games in a row and a majority of those games they actually put up 120+ points. The last time the Bucks even had a game where they didn't score 100+ points was back in January and it's only 1 game sandwiched in between a bunch of games where they put up 100+ points. I think they are going to continue putting up a ton of points in their games here and they have only been getting better as the playoffs approach quickly. Giannis has looked really good too lately and has scored 30+ points in their 2 most recent games. I think the Bucks will have to keep up their heavy offensive production here since they haven't been playing well on the defensive end this year and this will also be the 1st time this year that they have to play the Nets in a road game where they will have both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving playing in the game. The Nets have looked a lot better themselves lately and have started winning a lot more games now, putting up a ton of points in those games. The Nets have also been involved in a lot of their own high scoring affairs lately and have put up 100+ points in 14 games in a row. They have put up 110+ points in most of those games too and just like the Bucks, they haven't looked good with their defensive effort this year and has been giving up a lot of points in their games too. Both of these teams have really good offenses and don't really like to play hard on defense in their games. I expect a lot of scoring in this game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 131-127 Bucks. |

03-30-22 | Blues v. Canucks -103 | 4-3 | Loss | -103 | 17 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday. The Canucks haven't looked great lately but they haven't looked terrible in their games either and I think they are going to come for their revenge in this game. They have lost a majority of their previous 5 games but they still have 2 wins during that time and they haven't been losing badly in their games either since 2 of their losses went to OT. Their defense has been pretty good in their games, they have slipped a bit in their losses but they have only allowed 1 goal in each of their previous 2 wins. They just lost their most recent game to the Blues too, losing that game 4-1 but I think the Canucks have looked better lately and will find a way to bounce back in this game. Their most recent loss was in a road game but this game is back on their home ice so i expect them to play a better game and keep the Blues out of their net more here. The Blues haven't looked great in their games lately either, they just beat the Canucks in their most recent game but before winning that game they were on a run where they won 1/6 of their previous 6 games before that win against the Canucks. The Blues have been getting decimated too since their 2 most recent losses both came on home ice by 3+ goals. I think the Blues got their win the other night and are going to go back to how they have been playing in their games lately while the Canucks have been much better in their games lately and I expect them to bounce back here and get that win against the Blues back. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canucks. |

03-30-22 | Heat v. Celtics -4 | 106-98 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Wednesday. The Celtics have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. They had put together 6 wins in a row before losing in their most recent game but their loss was by 3 points in Toronto in a game that they did not have Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown playing in. The Celtics still lost that game without them but they lost in OT by 3 points so they really didn't even need them in that game and they still had a really good chance at winning that game. They will both be back for this game and I think that is just going to be an added boost to a team that was already playing great without them but they are the heart and soul of this team so with them back in the rotation, I see the Celtics being a very tough team to stop. They only missed their most recent game due to the current rules in Toronto, they both played in their 6 wins in a row before that loss and the Celtics have been destroying teams lately, winning all of those games but 1 by 10+ points. The Heat have had their own troubles lately, they just lost 4 games in a row before winning their most recent game. They finally ended their losing skid with a win against the Kings but the Kings have had a terrible year and won't even be in the playoffs this year when all is said is done. The Celtics pretty much have a playoff spot locked up but they are still chasing down the 76ers to win their division and with the 76ers losing last night, the Celtics should be motivated here since they have a chance to move up in the standings. I don't like how the Heat have looked lately, losing a lot of their games near the end here and they have had a healthy rotation too. I think the Celtics are 1 of the best teams in the East with the way they are playing at the moment and I think they are going to win this game by a lot. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 116-106 Celtics. |

03-29-22 | Washington State v. Texas A&M -1.5 | 56-72 | Win | 100 | 16 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas A&M. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread against Washington State in this game on Tuesday. Texas A&M has looked really good in their games lately and this huge run they've been on lately all stems back to their conference tournament. They ended their regular season playing very hot with 5 wins in a row but once they got into their conference tournament, they started pulling off big upsets but just fell short in the finals. They still managed to win against Florida and upset both Arkansas and Auburn who are both teams ranked in the top 25 and made the NCAA tournament this year. Texas A&M has won 10/11 of their previous 11 games and I think they are going to continue their crazy run here. Their only loss was to Tennessee in the finals of their conference tournament and with that loss they lost out on a chance to go to the NCAA tournament but now they are playing in the NIT instead and they have continued to dominate in their games lately. They have won both of their games here by 10+ points and I expect them to continue that dominance in this game and carry over their momentum from their games lately. Washington State has also been really hot lately winning 3 games in a row and they have won 7/8 of their previous 8 games but the quality of the opposing teams they have been facing have not been as good as the teams Texas A&M has had to face. Washington State has been dominating in their games lately too but they have faced teams like BYU and Santa Clara in this tournament to get to this game and even when they were on a big run to end the regular season, a lot of their wins were against teams like California and Oregon State. Texas A&M has had a much tougher road to this game and they also played in a much stronger conference all year, playing against and winning against better teams in their conference. I think that is going to help them in this game and I expect Texas A&M to continue playing the way they have here. This game is for all the marbles and I don't see Texas A&M slowing down now when they have a chance to go home with something after not making it to the NCAA tournament this year at all. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-66 Texas A&M. |

03-29-22 | Bucks v. 76ers -1.5 | 118-116 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Tuesday. The 76ers have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to have another great game here. They won 3 games in a row before losing in their most recent game but they lost in a road game to the Suns who are the best team in the league at the moment. I think the 76ers are due for a bounce back win here and with not many games left in the regular season this year, I think the 76ers are going to start surging toward the finish line now to lock up their division for the playoffs. The 76ers have still been winning a lot of their games lately with 5/7 wins in their previous 7 games and I think Embiid and Harden are going to turn up the jets against the defending NBA champions here. The Bucks have been winning games still but they haven't looked great lately. They just lost in their most recent game to the Grizzlies by 20+ points and they were missing their star player Ja Morant in that game too. The Bucks have actually struggled a lot in their road games lately and their 2 most recent road losses were really bad, losing both games by 19+ points. Philadelphia is a very hostile place to play, especially with their fans, and the Bucks have already been struggling in their road games lately. I think the Bucks are going to continue struggling in their road games here and I expect the 76ers to take advantage of them in this hostile environment. The 76ers have looked great lately and I think the loss in their most recent game will just fuel them to win against the Bucks on their home court here. This could be a team they end up meeting in the playoffs and I expect Embiid and Harden to give Giannis and the Bucks a little taste of the new look 76ers here. I like the 76ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 126-119 76ers. |

03-29-22 | Islanders -130 v. Blue Jackets | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. The Islanders have lost 2 games in a row now and I think they are due for a bounce back win here. They have looked good in a lot of their games lately but they didn't look good at all in their most recent game, losing to the Lightning on home ice 4-1. I expect the Islanders to play better on the defensive end in this game with it being a road game and I think they will have an easier time keeping pucks out of their net against the Blue Jackets here. The Jackets haven't looked good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue playing badly here. They have lost 3 games in a row and only have 1 win in their previous 5 games. They haven't looked good on the defensive end lately or with their goaltending since they have given up 3+ goals in 5 games in a row, and most of those games they actually gave up 4+ goals. I think the Islanders won't have any issues scoring goals on the Jackets here with how bad they have been lately. The Jackets almost won in Minnesota against the Wild in their most recent game, they had a 2-1 lead for most of the game but they blew their lead late, giving up the tying goal, and they managed to find a way to lose the game in OT. The Jackets have had a very bad season this year and I think their troubles are going to continue in this game. I can't trust a team that just collapsed with a late lead in the most important time of the game. I like the Islanders to win this game here. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Islanders. |

03-28-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Kings UNDER 6 | 6-1 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kraken/Kings UNDER. I am on the under in the Seattle Kraken vs LA Kings game on Monday. The Kraken haven't had more than 6 goals scored in a game in their previous 4 games and their offense was shut down against the Kings in their most recent game on Saturday. They are playing the Kings in LA again here and I think this is going to be a much lower scoring game. They only scored 2 goals on the Kings on Saturday and they gave up 4 goals in that game. The Kings have looked shaky in some of their games lately but they have also had their moments where their defense has looked great. Saturday was 1 of those nights and I think they can keep the Kraken from scoring many goals in this game too. The Kraken will have to revise their strategy here since LA was able to shut down their scoring and they aren't a great team in road games either so I expect them to play better on the defensive end here and give a better effort in this game. The Kings have had their bad spots lately but they have also had 3/5 of their previous 5 games where they didn't give up more than 2 goals. I think the Kings are going to continue playing well on the defensive end here with the Kraken's struggle in road games this year and I expect the Kraken to tighten up on the defensive end and try to keep the Kings off the board. I see this being a lower scoring game than their previous meeting on Saturday so I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Kings. |

03-28-22 | Coastal Carolina v. South Alabama UNDER 138 | 69-68 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Coastal Carolina/South Alabama UNDER. I am on the under in the Coastal Carolina vs South Alabama game on Monday. Coastal Carolina has looked good on the defensive end in their games lately and I think they are going to keep this a low scoring game. They haven't scored 70+ points in 3/4 of their previous 4 games but their defensive effort has been great in these games. They have held opposing teams to less than 70 points in 5/6 of their previous 6 games and I think they are going to continue with their great defensive effort in this game. South Alabama has played in some higher scoring games lately but for most of the year they were a low scoring team that looked good on the defensive end too. Their final 3 games to end the regular season were all low scoring games where neither team reached 70 points and only 1 team in any of those games put up 65+ points. These 2 teams also play in the same conference so they are familiar with each other and they did play each other 1 time earlier this year. South Alabama won that game 71-68 and that was a road game for them. South Alabama is home here and I think they will dominate the game on their home floor a bit more than they did in that game and I think they are going to shut down Coastal Carolina's offense more on their home court here. I expect both teams to play a more defensive style in this game so I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 66-61 South Alabama. |

03-28-22 | Nuggets -4 v. Hornets | 113-109 | Push | 0 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets. I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the Charlotte Hornets in this game on Monday. The Nuggets have looked good in their games lately with 2/3 wins in their previous 3 games and I think they can get another win here over the Hornets. The Nuggets have been surging lately picking up a lot of wins and they are in the 6th place position in the West at the moment but they are also trying to avoid playing in a play-in game for the playoffs. They are catching the Hornets at a good time since they are on a B2B where they had to travel back from Brooklyn and they even beat the Nets in their road game during Kyrie Irving's home debut this year. I think the Hornets are going to be gassed from that win plus the travel, I expect this to be a bit of a let down for them while the Nuggets are rested having last played on Saturday. The Hornets have looked really good themselves lately winning 7/8 of their previous 8 games but I think this is a great spot for them to slip up in and lose. Nikola Jokic has been really hot over their previous 3 games with 28+ points in all of them, 30+ points in 2 of those games, and I think this will be another game where he has a big night and helps lift his team to victory. I like the Nuggets to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 111-101 Nuggets. |

03-27-22 | Panthers v. Maple Leafs -110 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Maple Leafs. I like the Toronto Maple Leafs to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Sunday. The Leafs haven't looked good in their games lately with 2/3 losses in their previous 3 games and they just lost their most recent game to their rival team, the Canadiens, and that is a loss that has to sting to them since they are not only rivals but Montreal is also 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. They took a 1-0 lead in that game and then played from behind the rest of the way but I think they are due for a bounce back win here after that bad loss. The Panthers have won 3 games in a row now but they haven't even looked that great in their games. They escaped Montreal with a tight 4-3 win and then they went to Ottawa in their most recent game and won again 4-3 but in a shootout this time. The Panthers were trailing for that entire game, they went down 2-0 very early in the game and fought back but again went down 3-2 and the game stayed like that until very late. The Panthers had to pull their goalie and tie the game like that in the final minutes just to force OT and even in the OT they had to play shorthanded because of their issues with discipline in that game. They ended up winning that game in a shootout with 1 goal after the Senators missed all 3 of their shots but that game was too close and too many miracles had to happen in that game for them to win it. They haven't looked good lately and after that performance in Ottawa, I think the Leafs will get the win here. The Leafs are going to be angry from their loss to the Canadiens and they will be looking to take out that anger on the Panthers here on home ice. I like the Leafs to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Leafs. |

03-27-22 | Wolves v. Celtics -6 | Top | 112-134 | Win | 100 | 12 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Sunday. The Celtics have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on their run here and win another game on their home court. They have won 5 games in a row now and they have been destroying the opposing teams in those games winning most of them by 10+ points. The Celtics have really stepped up in their home games lately too and they have won 5/6 of their previous 6 home games. They have faced some bad teams on their current run but they also have wins over the Warriors, Nuggets, and Jazz who are all very good teams in the West and the Celtics didn't just win those games but they destroyed those teams by 20+ points in every game. Jayson Tatum has been really hot in their games and he is a big reason why they have been playing so well but lately they have been getting a bigger offensive contribution from Jaylen Brown and with both of these scorers playing really hot, the Celtics are almost impossible to stop at the moment. The Celtics have won 5 games in a row and Brown has had 20+ points in all of those games along with Tatum's effort too. The Timberwolves have also looked really good lately and they just won their most recent game over the Mavericks by 20+ points on their home court but they had 2 lost games in a row before that win and they even had a lead by 10+ points late into 1 of those games before losing it by almost 10 points themselves. The T-wolves have looked great in their games and they have become 1 of the stronger teams in the West this year with how well they have played but they are still a team that is coming around and is not quite there yet while the Celtics look like a team that is ready to win a championship right now. I think the Celtics have been really hot and I don't see the T-wolves ending their run here. I like the Celtics to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 118-104 Celtics. |

03-27-22 | St. Peter's v. North Carolina OVER 136.5 | Top | 49-69 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Saint Peter's/UNC OVER. I am on the over in the Saint Peter's vs UNC game on Sunday. Saint Peter's has looked really good in their games lately and they have made it to the elite 8 as a 15th seeded team for the 1st time in NCAA history. They have put together a great run that has shown off their great defensive effort but not every one of their games are won like that and they have had to put up a ton of points in a few of their games already to compete and stay alive in this tournament. In the round of 64 they put up 85 points to take Kentucky out in OT and in the round of 32 they put up 70 points to upset Murray State too. Their most recent game only had a total of 131 points in it but they were playing Purdue in that game who is a more defensive team than some of what they have seen so far but UNC is definitely not a defensive team and I think Saint Peter's is going to have to put up more points here just to keep up with them. They have the story and the cinderella magic behind them though and I expect them to use that momentum to put up a good fight here and keep this game close like they have been in every game they have played in this tournament. UNC has also looked good lately in their games, they are a much higher seed at 8th so their run hasn't been as special as Saint Peter's has but UNC has still taken down some very good teams and have upset the opposing team in their 2 most recent games. They have put up 90+ points in 2/3 of their 3 games in this tournament and they still put up 70+ points in their most recent game. I don't think Saint Peter's defensive effort will be able to hold down the offense of UNC for too long so I expect Saint Peter's to put up points here to keep up. UNC hasn't held any teams to less than 60 points in the tournament this year and I think Peter's won't have a tough time trying to put up their own points here. I expect a ton of scoring from both here, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 77-72 UNC. |

03-27-22 | Miami-FL v. Kansas -5.5 | 50-76 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas. I like Kansas to cover the spread against Miami-FL in this game on Sunday. Kansas has looked really good in their games lately and I think they will carry on their momentum into this game. Kansas has won 8 games in a row now and they are the only 1st seeded team left in the tournament. They just won against Providence in the sweet 16 by 5 points but they had control in that entire game and led for most of it. Kansas has looked really good with their defensive play in particular and they haven't been giving up a ton of points to opposing teams lately. They have given up 65 points or less in 6/7 of their previous 7 games and they have won a majority of those games by 10+ points. Miami has also looked good in their games lately too but I think this is where the end of the line is for them. They have 1 very impressive win over Auburn in the round of 32 by 15+ points but even Auburn was not playing their best in this tournament and they looked shaky near the end of the year. Their other 2 wins were against USC and Iowa State, both are teams that weren't even playing great before this tournament started. Miami was struggling to win games near the end of their regular season too, they won a lot of close games by a few points and although they have looked much better in their 2 most recent games, they will still have a lot on their hands with Kansas in this game. I think Kansas will be able to shut down Miami with their defensive effort and I expect Kansas to put them away here. I think Kansas will take an early lead here and once they are ahead they will hold onto their lead with their great defense and make it very tough for Miami to come back on them. I like Kansas to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 69-60 Kansas. |

03-26-22 | Arkansas v. Duke -3.5 | 69-78 | Win | 100 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Duke. I like Duke to cover the spread against Arkansas in this game on Saturday. Duke has looked good in their games lately and they just keep winning games no matter how close they are in the game they manage to pull away at the end. They have won 3 games in a row now and their wins have been getting closer in score the deeper they have gone into this tournament but I think they are riding the pure emotions of being part of the final season for Mike Krzyzewski and I think they are going to keep riding that emotion here. These players know that as soon as they lose a game his career is over so they are doing everything they can to leave it all on the court and send him home with 1 final National Championship. They had to battle in their game against Michigan State and couldn't pull away until the end but they stepped up in the final minutes of that game and pulled ahead when they needed to. The same thing happened in their most recent game too since they were trailing Texas tech the entire time but again, they stepped up at the end and took the lead sealing their fate. I think they have a lot of momentum on their side considering the story line and I expect them to play at their best here to keep on their deep run here. Arkansas also has a lot of momentum after their win against Gonzaga but they haven't looked great in the 1st 2 rounds of this tournament with 2 close wins by less than 5 points. Their win against Gonzaga took a huge defensive effort and they had to grind out that entire game because as soon as they let up with their defense Gonzaga would storm back and take the lead again. I think this might be a bit of a let down spot for Arkansas since they were already looking shaky in their previous games and I think Duke will be tough to stop here now that they are getting so close to the final four again. I expect Duke to turn on the jets here and have their best game of the tournament here. I like Duke to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 78-70 Duke. |

03-26-22 | Blue Jackets +220 v. Wild | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Columbus Blue Jackets. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. The Blue Jackets have lost 2 games in a row now but their most recent game was a very close loss in OT in a road game against the Jets and I think the Jackets can bounce back here after that game. They were down early in that game but they kept fight back and managed to force OT where they lost but I still think they looked good in that game and I expect them to carry that play over into this game here to try and get a win. This is the last game of a road trip and after losing their other 2 games in a row now, I expect the Jackets to play at their best here and try to get a win so they don't go home empty handed with no points. The Wild have won 4 games in a row now and they have looked really good in a lot of those games but they looked more shaky in their most recent game and I think it's time for them to drop a game here. Their goaltending has been great and they haven't given up many goals in their games lately but the Canucks forced OT in their most recent game and the Wild had a late lead in that game too but slipped up on defense and gave up the tying goal. I think their little run here is coming to an end and I think the Jackets will have the motivation to hand them a loss here. I like the Blue Jackets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Blue Jackets. |

03-26-22 | Kings +3 v. Magic | 114-110 | Win | 100 | 15 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Sacramento Kings. I like the Sacramento Kings to cover the spread against the Orlando Magic in this game on Saturday. The Kings haven't looked great lately but they just ended a losing skid with a win in their most recent game and I think they can extend their good play into this game too. They have only won the 1 game in their previous 4 but they have actually looked good in their 2 most recent games. In the game before their win over the Pacers in their most recent game, they took the Suns to OT and lost that game by 3 points. The Kings have been looking better lately and with a game against the Magic here, I think they will give their best effort knowing they have a good chance of getting another win here. The Magic haven't looked terrible lately with 2/3 wins in their previous 3 games but they also haven't played a strong variety of teams. Their 1 win was over the thunder who are 1 of the worst teams in the league this year and their other win was over the Warriors who were missing Curry and have had their own issues to deal with lately as they keep losing games. The Magic have also seen the Thunder 2 times in their previous 3 games and they only managed to come away with 1 win against them. Their most recent game was actually a loss to the Thunder and they got destroyed by them too, losing by 15+ points. I think the Kings are a lot better than the Thunder are and I expect the Kings to give the Magic a much better challenge here. The Magic have been really up and down all year and even lately, they have won 2 of their previous 3 games but also have some bad losses to teams worse than them in their games before those wins. I think the Kings can put up a good fight here and win another game extending their run to 2 games. i like the Kings to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-107 Kings. |

03-26-22 | Houston v. Villanova UNDER 128.5 | 44-50 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston/Villanova UNDER. I am on the under in the Houston vs Villanova game on Saturday. Houston has looked really good with their defensive effort in their games lately. They were putting up a ton of points in their games before this tournament started but a lot of those games that they were scoring 80+ points in were games that they were also blowing out the other team in. I don't think that is going to happen here and I expect this game to be much closer in score. Houston has really buckled down on defense in their 2 most recent games and I expect them to continue playing with that style since it has been working for them lately. They held Illinois to 53 points in the round of 32 and then they held Arizona to 60 points in the sweet 16. That is really impressive since Arizona was a number 1 seed and they have a very strong offense that is averages 80+ points per game so to hold them to just 60 points is very impressive, especially in a game that means so much. I think Houston is going to give another great effort on defense in this game and I expect them to shut down Villanova here. Villanova has also looked really good on defense in their games lately and they play a very defensive style of basketball in their games too. They haven't given up more than 61 points in any of their NCAA tournament games this year and I think this is going to be another game where they give a great defensive effort since Houston does have a strong offense that can put up points. Villanova's shooting was also terrible in their most recent game and if they continue to shoot like that here, they won't be able to score many points on Houston here. I think this is going to be a close defensive battle that both teams try to grind out to a win with a hard effort here. I expect this to be a low scoring game like many of the games both teams have been involved in lately. I am on the under here. T.M. Prediction: 62-57 Houston. |

03-25-22 | Iowa State v. Miami-FL UNDER 133.5 | 56-70 | Win | 100 | 17 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa State/Miami UNDER. I am on the under in the Iowa State vs Miami-FL game on Friday. Iowa State hasn't been involved in many high scoring affairs lately and a big part of that is due to their great defensive play. They have made it through 2 rounds of this NCAA tournament and they haven't given up 55+ points in either game. They aren't scoring a lot of points themselves either since they haven't even put up 60+ points in either game yet. Iowa State is not a very strong team and they probably shouldn't have made it as far as they have this year but their strategy is very clear and it seems to be one that has been working for other teams too since the teams that keep progressing happen to be teams that play good defense and give a very good defensive effort in every game. I think Iowa State is going to have to give another great defensive effort here if they want to make it past Miami but Miami is not really a powerhouse kind of team either. Miami also gives a really good defensive effort in their games too and I think both teams are going to play hard on the defensive end here. Miami hasn't given up more than 66 points in either NCAA tournament game and they didn't even put up 70+ points themselves in 1 of those games. I think Miami will play hard defensively here and will put a stop to the already weak offense of Iowa State. Iowa State hasn't been an offensive team all year though so they will play true to themselves here and give a great defensive effort because they know that is the only way they win this game. I don't think either team is really strong offensively and I expect the defensive plays to take over in this game. I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 63-59 Miami. |

03-25-22 | North Carolina v. UCLA -2 | 73-66 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UCLA. I like UCLA to cover the spread against UNC in this game on Friday. UCLA has looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on their deep run here since they have been getting better in each game. UCLA was in the final four last year and now that they have had a little taste of going 2 rounds deep, I expect them to keep rolling through and make a big push for the final four again. UCLA was not able to capture the win over Arizona in their conference tournament but they still ended their year with 5 wins in a row before losing in that game, and they dominated in a lot of those wins. They struggled a bit in their round of 64 game but they made it through Akron and they looked a lot better in their game against Saint Mary's, winning that game by 10+ points. This group has been playing a lot better and with their experience from last year's run, I think they will be tough to stop here now that they have gotten going. There has been a lot of crazy upsets in the tournament up to this point but this is where the truly great teams start to emerge out of the sweet 16 and I think UCLA is the team to do so here. UNC has also looked really good in their games lately, destroying Marquette by 30+ points in the round of 64 and then upsetting Baylor in the round of 32. They didn't look great near the end of that game against Baylor though and they were lucky to escape with the win since Baylor ran out of fuel at the end there. UNC had a 20+ lead over Baylor in that game but they managed to blow that lead and ended up in OT with Baylor in a game they should've never went to OT in. UNC has had a good run but I think this is where it comes to an end. I like UCLA to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 83-77 UCLA. |

03-25-22 | North Carolina v. UCLA OVER 141.5 | Top | 73-66 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNC/UCLA OVER. I am on the over in the UNC vs UCLA game on Friday. UCLA has been putting up a lot of points in their games lately but they are also the kind of team that has played up and has played down to their level of competition all year. They put up 70+ points in their most recent game, blowing out Saint Mary's as UCLA finally found their groove in the tournament. They won their game in the round of 64 by only 4 points though and they only put up 57 points in that game since they held Akron to 53. This has happened before though and even in their conference tournament final this year, UCLA lost 84-76 to Arizona and that was a game that they were leading in the 1st half and then had multiple lead changes in the 2nd half. I think UCLA looked a lot better in the round of 32 and now that they have the taste of the sweet 16 in their mouth, I expect them to put up a lot of points here and try to keep themselves alive. UNC has looked really good lately too and they just knocked out the 1st seed Baylor in their most recent game. They have been putting up a lot of points in their games too, putting up 90+ points in both of their games in the NCAA tournament so far. UNC has looked great on offense and I think this will be another game where they come out hot and try to put up a lot of points. I expect UCLA will match their energy and put up a lot of points themselves to match UNC but UNC hasn't looked good on the defensive end in their games and letting Baylor come back from 20+ points in their previous game really exposed that. I think that the lack of defense by UNC will be the difference here and I think UCLA will take control at some point causing UNC to put up more points to keep up. Either way, I see this game having a ton of points in it from both teams. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 83-77 UCLA. |

03-25-22 | Mavs v. Wolves OVER 227.5 | Top | 95-116 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks/Timberwolves OVER. I am on the over in the Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves game on Friday. The Mavericks have been putting up a ton of points in their games lately. They have put up 100+ points in 5 games in a row now and their 2 most recent games they actually put up 110+ points in both. They haven't looked good on the defensive end lately though and I think the T-wolves will have no issues putting up the points on them. The Mavs have given up 100+ points in 4/5 of their previous 5 games and most of those games they gave up 110+ points in. The T-wolves have looked really good themselves lately and I think they will have a big offensive night here. The Timberwolves have lost 2 games in a row now and I think they will be looking for a bounce back win here badly. They just lost their most recent game to the Suns by 9 on their own home court and they even had a 10+ point lead themselves for a lot of that game. Their other loss came to the Mavs in Dallas the other night and they lost a really close game to them by 2 points. I think the T-wolves will want to get that game back here but they don't really play hard on the defensive end either so I see both teams putting up a ton of points in this game to outscore the other and win the game that way. Their previous meeting was a very close game in the end and I expect this game to be very similar in competitiveness but I see there being a lot more points with the T-wolves being on their home court here. The T-wolves have put up 100+ points in 15 games in a row but a lot of those games were games where they were scoring 120+ and even 130+ points themselves. Both of these teams are strong on offense but don't give a good defensive effort in their games. I see this being high scoring so I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 133-128 Timberwolves. |

03-25-22 | St. Peter's +12.5 v. Purdue | 67-64 | Win | 100 | 13 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Saint Peter's. I like Saint Peter's to cover the spread against Purdue in this game on Friday. Saint Peter's has looked really good in their games lately and they have been going on a very nice where they have kicked out some big teams already. Their NCAA tournament started with a huge upset over Kentucky as 18 point dogs in the round of 64 and then they went into the round of 32 as dogs again against Murray State but they still pulled off yet another upset, beating Murray State by 10 points. They didn't finish 1st in their conference this year but they went on a huge run at the end of the year getting really hot and they were able to steal the bid in their conference tournament. Saint Peter's has won 9 games in a row now and I think they can keep up playing at a high level here. Their play has been elevated since coming to this tournament and they have the momentum of the upset story cinderella magic here since they are the lowest seed left in the sweet 16. I think the pressure is on Purdue here since they are the favorite and the bigger school and they haven't even looked that great in their games lately. They have looked better in their 2 most recent games with wins by 10+ points in both, but they ended the year off with some bad losses and even in their wins they were just barely escaping those games. I think Saint Peter's has the momentum and the magic on their side here to at least keep this a close game. Purdue has looked better lately but they still haven't been blowing out many teams lately and I think Saint Peter's will stick around in this game since all the pressure is on Purdue here. I like Saint Peter's to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 76-70 Purdue. |

03-24-22 | Houston v. Arizona -1.5 | 72-60 | Loss | -108 | 16 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona. I like Arizona to cover the spread against Houston in this game on Thursday. Arizona has looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to carry over their momentum into this game. Arizona just beat TCU in their most recent game by 5 points but that game went to OT after Arizona was trailing late but managed to grind out a way to tie the game and force the OT. Arizona did look a bit shaky in that game but they got their act together and managed to grind it out. I don't see Arizona blowing out Houston here since they are a really good team too, but this spread is really small and when it comes to picking a winner here, I have to go with Arizona. Both of these teams had similar records during the regular season but Arizona still has less losses all year and they also played a much stronger conference than Houston did. Houston was really the only ranked team in their conference for most of the year while the Pac-12 always had at least 3 teams that were ranked in the top 25 and the quality of the competition was a lot better too. Arizona has won 8 games in a row now and I don't see them slowing down now that they are getting so close to the prize. I expect Arizona to turn up the jets in this game and try to get a better handle on the game from the start. Houston just kicked Illinois out in their most recent game and even though Houston won that game by 10+ points, they struggled to pull away from Illinois in the 1st half and even when they had come out and gained a big lead from the start, they blew that lead by half and were only winning by a few points. Mathurin and Koloko have been too hot for Arizona at the moment and I don't think Houston has the players to defend these 2 with how good they have looked lately. I think this is going to be a very good game but in the end Arizona is the better team and I have to go with them here after the year they have put together. I like Arizona to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-68 Arizona. |

03-24-22 | Texas Tech v. Duke UNDER 137.5 | 73-78 | Loss | -110 | 58 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas Tech/Duke UNDER. I am on the under in the Texas Tech vs Duke game on Thursday. Texas Tech can put up a lot of points in their games when they want to but they usually only do it against teams they outmatch heavily. They put up 90+ points on Montana State in the round of 64 but when faced with a much tougher team in the round of 32, they kept a low scoring game winning 59-53 and they mainly won that game with their defense like they have in a lot of their games this year. Texas Tech always gives a great defensive effort in every game they play and I expect them to give their best effort in this game. Duke is the toughest team they will have faced in the tournament so far but they are also a very beatable team as we have seen many times this year and I think Texas Tech will play very hard on defense to keep Duke from scoring and they will try to shut them down that way. Duke does not get involved in a lot of low scoring games but they will when faced with a good defensive team. The last time they had a low scoring game was during the regular season when they beat Virginia 65-61 but Virginia would have been the only team since that game that gives as good an effort as Texas Tech does on playing defense. I think Duke will struggle to put up points in this game and I think Texas Tech will try to keep their offense pinned down this whole game. Texas Tech will not let this game get out of hand offensively and I think they will control the pace of play here keeping this a low scoring game. I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 67-61 Texas Tech. |

03-24-22 | Cavs v. Raptors OVER 214 | 104-117 | Win | 100 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cavaliers/Raptors OVER. I am on the over in the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors game on Thursday. The Cavaliers have been involved in some high scoring affairs lately and they have been putting up a ton of points themselves in their games. The Cavaliers have put up 110+ points in 5 games in a row now and I think that will continue in this game too. They haven't looked great on defense in those games though since they have also been giving up a ton of points too. They have given up 109+ points in 5 games in a row and they just got crushed at home by 10+ points against the struggling Lakers and they gave up 130+ points in that game too. I think they will be looking to bounce back after that bad game and I expect them to pour on the scoring here since the Raptors are missing some important players to their rotation. The Raptors haven't been putting up a lot of points in their games lately but they tend to play a lot better in their home games. The Raptors have been putting up more points in their home games this year but they have also been giving up more points too. Their previous 10 home games have seen both teams putting up 100+ points in 9 of them. I think the Raptors will play a lot better on their home court here putting up more points in this game and I also think they will ease up on the defensive effort like they have in their previous home games. The Raptors also lost their most recent game and will be looking to bounce back here too. I think both teams are going to put up a ton of points in this game, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 114-109 Raptors. |

03-24-22 | Michigan v. Villanova -4.5 | 55-63 | Win | 100 | 56 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Villanova. I like Villanova to cover the spread against Michigan in this game on Thursday. Villanova has looked really good in their games lately. They ended their year off playing great and they went on to win their conference tournament. They have won 7 games in a row now and they have looked great since starting the NCAA tournament here. They blew by the round of 64 with a 20 point win over Delaware and then they won over Ohio State by 10 points in the round of 32 but they took control of that game from the start and had a big lead by half. I think Villanova is going to continue their dominance in this tournament with another big win over Michigan here and Villanova is the kind of team that has repeated success making deep runs in this tournament over the past few years. Michigan has won 2 games in a row now as an 11th seeded team, they have a win over Colorado State that they were the favorite in anyway in the round of 64 and they pulled off a really good win over Tennessee in the round of 32 but Villanova is a lot better than both of those teams and I think Michigan will struggle here. Villanova can play defense really well just like Tennessee but their offense is a lot stronger than Tennessee's is and Villanova leads the country in free throw percentage this year. I think that is going to make a real difference in this game like it did for Kentucky and I expect Villanova to do what they have been doing lately and jump out to an early lead in this game never looking back. I think Michigan has gone as far as they can go here and I don't see them going any further. I like Villanova to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-67 Villanova. |

03-24-22 | Arkansas +9.5 v. Gonzaga | 74-68 | Win | 100 | 13 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas. I like Arkansas to cover the spread against Gonzaga in this game on Thursday. Arkansas has looked good in their games lately and I think they can keep this game close enough to cover the spread here. Arkansas put together a really good season this year and they ended it going on a huge run where they won 6/7 of their final 7 games. They didn't play well in their conference tournament as they got stopped in their 2nd game by Texas A&M, who ended up in the finals anyway, but they have looked a lot better since then and I think they will challenge Gonzaga here. Both of Arkansas' wins in this tournament have been in closer games but they haven't played against bad teams either. They made it out of the round of 64 over a Vermont team that dominated their conference during the regular season, then they made it out of the round of 32 with another close win by 5 over New Mexico State who upset UConn in the 1st round. Arkansas has had to grind out their wins here but they have been able to put up points when needed and they have looked good on defense when the shots aren't going so i think they have some options here on how to defend Gonzaga in this game and I expect them to put up a very good fight here. Gonzaga may be the 1st ranked team heading into this tournament but they haven't looked great in their games and I think they will leave Arkansas plenty of opportunity to stay in this game. Gonzaga opened up their tournament with a 20+ point win over Georgia State in the round of 64 but they struggled in the 1st half of that game, only leading by 2 points at the half, and it wasn't until the 2nd half where they started to gain their footing. Even in their most recent game, they just escaped the round of 32 with a 4 point win over Memphis and they were losing that game by 10 points at the half. They had to throw together another big run in the 2nd half but this time they just barely had enough in them to make the comeback. I think this is going to be another game that they struggle in the 1st half and Arkansas plays defense a lot better than the 2 teams they have already seen. I think Arkansas will give them a very good challenge here and they should be able to stick around in this game with a good defensive effort. I don't see Gonzaga blowing anyone out with how they have looked in their games lately. I like Arkansas to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 84-78 Gonzaga. |

03-24-22 | Lightning +105 v. Bruins | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Thursday. The Lightning haven't looked good in their games lately with 2 losses in a row now but I think they can bounce back with a win here. Their 2 most recent games were both losses by 1 goal but they also played some of the hottest teams in the league at the moment with a 2-1 loss to the Rangers and a 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes. They just started a road trip with that game against the Hurricanes and are already off to a bad start, I expect them to play a lot better here and try to bounce back from that loss. The Bruins have looked really good lately winning 2 games in a row now but they have also won 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They haven't looked great in those games though, they have been winning a lot of games but all of those wins during that time except for 1 were only by 1 goal. Their most recent game was even a win over the Canadiens, who are the worst team in the East, and they had to go to OT to get that win. I think the Bruins have been losing momentum with their wins lately and most of those wins lately have also come against some of the worst teams in the league. They got 4 of their wins over the Coyotes, Canadiens, and 2 against the Blackhawks during that run. The teams they have faced have not been strong at all and they aren't even winning their games by impressive margins but are instead just sneaking out of the games with 1 goal wins. I think the Bruins are going to have a very tough challenge on their hands here with 1 of the best teams in the league and they are going to be getting them after a few losses so they will be even more dangerous looking for a win to break out of their funk. I like the Lightning to end their losing skid as of late and win this game over the Bruins. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Lightning. |
