08-22-21 | White Sox v. Rays UNDER 9 | 0-9 | Push | 0 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Chicago White Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays game on Sunday. The White Sox have had 9+ runs scored total in their last 3 straight. I think that ends here in this one. Reynaldo Lopez (2-0, 1.08 ERA) is starting for the White Sox. He has had a great season allowing just 3 earned runs in 11 appearances this year. In his last start he shutout the A's through 5 innings. The Rays have had 9+ runs scored total in 15 games in a row now. That is bound to come to an end here against a solid starter for the White Sox. Chris Archer (0-1, 6.23 ERA) will be starting for the Rays here. He has only played in 2 games this season allowing 3 earned runs total. In his last start he did not allow a run at all through 2 innings played. The Rays have been on a crazy over streak that is bound to end soon. The White Sox have a very good pitcher on the mound. This should be a low scoring game that stays under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Rays. |

08-21-21 | Phillies v. Padres -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
I like the San Diego Padres on the runline against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The Padres are on a 4 game losing skid. They have mustered up just 1 win in 9 games. They will be looking to turn things around here. Joe Musgrove (8-8, 3.11 ERA) is starting for the Padres in this one. His team has won 12 games this season when he has started this season. All but 2 of those wins were by 2+ runs. He allowed 6 earned runs in his last start. I think that was a bad game for him as he did not allow more than 2 in each game of his previous 4 starts. The Phillies just broke a 4 game losing skid with a win over the Padres. They have not been playing well either lately. Aaron Nola (7-7, 4.48 ERA) is starting for the Phillies. The team has lost 3 of the last 4 he started in. His team has lost 13 games this season when he has started. 10 of those losses were by 2+ runs. He has also allowed 9 earned runs in his last 3 starts. The Padres are the much better team here. I think it is time they get back on track in this one. Padres win by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. |

08-21-21 | Colts +2.5 v. Vikings | 12-10 | Win | 105 | 77 h 39 m | Show | |
I like the Indianapolis Colts against the spread on Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings. The Colts won their 1st preseason game 21-18 against the Carolina Panthers. They came back from down 18-10 in the 4th quarter to win that one. Both of the quarterbacks for the Colts played an amazing game. Jacob Eason completed 15/21 passes for 183 yards and Sam Ehlinger completed 10/15 passes for 155 yards and just 1 interception. They had a great showing from the receivers as well, 5 different players receiving for 30+ yards. They also had 5 different players averaging 14+ yards per catch in that game. The Vikings had an awful game in their 1st preseason game losing 33-6 to the Denver Broncos. The Vikings did not do much at all on offense in that game, both quarterbacks completing less than 51% of their passes each for less than 55 yards. Their best player in that game was Asim Rose who rushed for 100 yards on 25 carries, averaging 4 yards per rush. He also led the team in the passing game with 1 catch for 18 yards. with such opposite performances in week 1, it is tough not to like the Colts here so I am on them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 20-17 Colts. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Jets v. Packers UNDER 34 | 23-14 | Loss | -107 | 73 h 3 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the New York Jets vs Green Bay Packers game on Saturday. The Jets won their 1st preseason game over the New York Giants 12-7. Their 3 quarters backs played well in that one as all of them completed over 50% of their passes, 1 of them even throwing for 127 yards. The ball was spread out quite a bit too as 3 running backs had 20+ yards rushing, and 3 receivers had 20+ yards receiving. Despite all this ball movement, they still had nothing to show for it scoring just the 1 touchdown in the game, mustering up just a total of 12 points. The Packers lost their 1st preseason game to the Houston Texans 26-7. Both of the quarterbacks for the Packers played well, each completing more than 50% of their passes and throwing for 80+ yards. A few receivers also had a good game averaging over 10 yards per catch. Again though, execution was the issue in this one as the Packers only managed a measly 7 points in that loss. Both of these teams have shown they are able to move the ball in this preseason, but have failed where it matters most in executing for the score. I expect those troubles to continue in this one here keeping this game under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 13-10 Jets. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Winnipeg -3.5 v. Toronto | Top | 23-30 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 28 m | Show |
I like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to cover the spread against the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday. The Blue Bombers have gotten off to a great 2-0 start this season. Now they hit the road for the first time to play an Argos team that they just beat in their last game 20-7. The Blue Bombers have been scoring pretty consistently, but it's the defense that have been the real stars. In 2 games this season, they have held the Tiger-Cats to 6 points and the Argos to 7. The Argos are 1-1 on the season coming home for the 1st time in 2 years. They did not look good against the Blue Bombers a week ago as both of their quarterbacks struggled against this defense, failing to throw for 100 yards or a touchdown. Both barely completed 50% of their passes and 1 even threw an interception. They are going to see the same defense that they struggled against a week ago and I don't expect anything to change here. The Blue Bombers will be able to put points on the board while their defense shuts the Argos down. I like the Blue Bombers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Blue Bombers. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Tigers v. Blue Jays OVER 9.5 | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
I like the over in the Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers game on Saturday. The Tigers have seen some high scoring games lately. Just 2 of their last 8 have had less than 10 runs in them. Wily Peralta (3-2, 3.70 ERA) is starting for the Tigers here. There have been 10+ runs in 3 of the last 4 games he has started in. He has allowed 17 runs in his last 5 games. He averages over 3 runs allowed per game in that span. The Blue Jays last game stayed under the total. The previous 4 all had 10+ runs in them though. Hyun Jin Ryu (11-6, 3.72 ERA) will be starting for the Jays here. The last 5 games he has started in have all see 9+ runs in them. He has been struggling lately, allowing 11 earned runs total in his last 2 starts. Both of these teams have been involved in some high scoring games lately and I expect that to continue here. I like this game to go over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Bills v. Bears OVER 38 | 41-15 | Win | 100 | 70 h 40 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Buffalo Bills vs Chicago Bears game on Saturday. The Bills won their 1st preseason game 16-15 against the Detroit Lions. They had 2 quarterbacks give a solid performance in that one. Davis Webb completed 11/16 passes for 90 yards and 1 touchdown while Jake Fromm completed 8/13 passes for 65 yards. The running game did not do much in that one, but passing game had a lot of action. Only 1 receiver hit 50 yards, but 12 different players caught a pass in that game, 4 of them averaging 10+ yards per catch. The Bears also won their 1st preseason game over the Miami Dolphins by a score of 20-13. Justin Fields had a great performance in that game, he completed 14/20 passes for 142 yards and 1 touchdown. They also had a good running game with 4 different players rushing for 30+ yards, 2 of those players averaging 10+ yards per carry. The receivers played well too, 4 of them averaging 10+ yards per catch i n that one. Both of these teams showed a real good passing game in their 1st preseason games. The more the ball flies through the air, the more opportunity for bigger plays and more scoring as these young guys look to have that breakout game to land a spot on the team. This game should have a lot of scoring in it so I am on the over in this one. T.M. Prediction: 27-20 Bears. |
|||||||
08-20-21 | Montreal v. Calgary +195 | 22-28 | Win | 195 | 23 h 59 m | Show | |
I like the Calgary Stampeders to cover the spread against the Montreal Alouettes on Friday. The Alouettes are 1-0 to start the season after a 30-13 win over the Edmonton Elks. Now they continue their Alberta road trip to face the defending Grey Cup champions. The Alouettes played a good first game, scoring 30 points, but it was their defense that won that game. The Stampeders are now 0-2 to start the season and they will definitely be hungry for their 1st win in this last game of their 3-game homestand. They had no trouble moving the ball but throwing 4 interceptions really hindered them in that one. Bo Levi Mitchell will likely be out with a broken leg which means Michael O'Connor will likely be starting. O'Connor has played in 2 CFL games before and even scored a touchdown in the short amount he played. He was pretty good in college and should be able to move the ball with some of the weapons he has in Calgary. The Stampeders still have a very good all-around team and I think they will come away with their 1st win of the season here. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Stampeders. |
|||||||
08-20-21 | Chiefs -135 v. Cardinals | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 53 h 41 m | Show | |
I like the Kansas City Chiefs on the money line against the Arizona Cardinals on Friday. The Chiefs won 19-16 against the San Francisco 49ers in their 1st preseason game. Nobody really had a breakout perfomance in that game, but the Chiefs showcased plenty of their depth in that game. They had 3 quarterbacks, not including Mahomes, who threw for over 50% pass completion in that game. two of those quarterbacks threw for 70+ yards. They had 8 different players carry the ball in that game and also had 16 different players make a catch. The Cardinals also won their 1st preseason game 19-16 against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cardinals had Chris Streveler play in the game and although he threw for 107 yards, he did not get a touchdown and only completed 50% of his passes. Streveler also led the team in rushing which is not a good sign when your quarterback is the best player in the game in that department. The Cardinals did not play many star receivers as just 1 of them made 1 catch in the game. The Chiefs have a lot more depth on their team and the players seem to be performing better than the Cardinals in this preseason. I think the Chiefs win this one. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Chiefs. |
|||||||
08-20-21 | Royals -113 v. Cubs | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 51 m | Show | |
I like the Kansas City Royals to beat the Chicago Cubs on Friday afternoon. The Royals are playing well right now as they just took 3 games of 4 in their series to the Houston Astros. Brad Keller (7-12, 5.62 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Royals and he has had a tough season thus far. The team has just 1 win his last 12 starts for them, but that is bound to turn around at some point. He allowed 9 earned runs total in his last 2 starts, but the 5 prior to that he did not allow more than 3 in a single game. The Cubs are currently on a 2 game win streak after shattering their 12 game losing streak right before. They have not been having a good season at all. Zach Davies (6-9, 5.00 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Cubs and he has not pitched well lately. The team has 1 win in his last 9 starts for them. He pitched a shutout through 6 innings in his last game, but in the 2 prior to that he allowed 7 earned runs in each game, only playing 4 innings in 1 and 2 innings in the other. Both of these pitchers have seen better days so I have to go with the Royals here at home. They are more consistent and have been playing better as of late. Royals win this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Royals. |
|||||||
08-19-21 | Edmonton Elks v. BC OVER 45.5 | 21-16 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 36 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Edmonton Elks vs BC Lions game on Thursday. The Elks have had a bad 0-2 start to the season and will be hungry to get their 1st win of the season. They have only been able to score a total of 25 points between their first 2 games. Things are bound to turn around here though. The Elks have the best receiver in the CFL over the past 5 years, Greg Ellingson. He has yet to heat up this season but that will not likely be the case for long. Now with 2 games under his belt, he should be able to get going in this one causing the points to flood in for the Elks. The BC Lions are returning to BC Place for their 1st game there in over 2 years. They will definitely be filled with energy for this game finally getting to play in front of their fans again after so long. They are coming off a game where they shut down the defending champion Stampeders and they have already shown that they can score points with their 33-29 loss to the Roughriders. There will be lots of emotion in this game and I expect there to be plenty of points scored by both teams. I like this game to go over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Lions. |
|||||||
08-19-21 | Patriots -1.5 v. Eagles | 35-0 | Win | 100 | 28 h 11 m | Show | |
I like the New England Patriots ATS on Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Patriots had a very good showing in their 1st preseason game winning 22-13 against the Washington Football Team. Both Mac Jones and Cam Newton will be fighting to be the starter for week 1 so they will likely get some more playing time here. The Patriots were very run heavy in that game, their breakout player Rhamondre Stevenson as he rushed for 127 yards and 2 touchdowns on 10 carries. He is likely to get some more work in this game as well. The Eagles had a poor outing in their 1st preseason game losing that one to the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-16. Jalen Hurts got some work in that game but only completed 3/7 passes for 54 yards. Their running backs did not do much either in that one and the only receiver that had a good game was Quez Watkins who scored 1 touchdown on a 79 yard play, his only catch of the game. The best player for the Eagles in week 1 of the preseason was Joe Flacco as he completed 10/17 passes for 178 yards and 1 touchdown. If Joe Flacco is your best player on the field, even if it is just the preseason, your team has some real issues to address. The Patriots just looked like the better team last week so I like them to cover the spread on Thursday T.M. Prediction: 24-14 Patriots. |
|||||||
08-19-21 | A's v. White Sox -135 | 5-4 | Loss | -135 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. The White Sox are currently on a 3 game win streak, winning all 3 against these Athletics. Dylan Cease (9-6, 4.04 ERA) is starting on the mound for the White Sox and he has pitched well lately. He has been credited with 2 straight wins and the team has won 3 games in the last 4 he started in. He has not allowed more than 3 earned runs in his last 7 starts. The Athletics have been in a slump lately currently on a 4 game losing streak. Cole Irvin (8-11, 3.52 ERA) is starting for the Athletics and he has not been doing well as of late. He has lost 3 games of his last 4 starts. He has also allowed a total of 5 earned runs in his last 2 starts. The White Sox have rolled over the A's in this series and I expect that to continue here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 White Sox. |
|||||||
08-19-21 | Mariners -158 v. Rangers | Top | 9-8 | Win | 100 | 14 h 17 m | Show |
I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Texas Rangers on Thursday. The Mariners have been red hot in their last few games losing just 1 time in 7 games. They have won the last 4 straight that they have played Texas in. Chris Flexen (10-5, 3.78 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Mariners and he has played well this season. The team has lost just 1 game in his last 3 starts and he has only allowed 7 earned runs total in that span. The Rangers have not looked good lately as they have won just 1 game in their last 4. They will be starting Spencer Howard (0-3, 5.61 ERA) and he has not pitched well as his team lost 4 of the last 5 games he played for the Phillies in. His team has already lost both games he appeared in as a Mariner too. These teams are going in opposite directions so I like the Mariners to keep rolling here. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Mariners. |
|||||||
08-19-21 | Sturm Graz -135 v. Mura | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 11 m | Show | |
I like Sturm Graz to win against NS Mura on Thursday. Sturm Graz has been excellent lately currently on a 4 game win streak. They have been scoring tons of goals as they are averaging over 3 goals per game in those 4. NS Mura have not been as good as Sturm Graz lately as they have just 1 win in 9 games. They have not been scoring lately as they are averaging just 1 goal per game in their last 5. Sturm Graz also play in Austria which is a much harder league to play in than the Slovenian league that NS Mura play in. Sturm Graz is much better and will come away with the win here in Europa League. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Sturm Graz. |
|||||||
08-18-21 | Seattle Sounders FC v. FC Dallas OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -114 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
I am on the over in the FC Dallas vs Seattle Sounders game. Dallas has been averaging about 2 goals scored per game in their last 5. They are a much better team when they play at home as they have averaged over 2 goals scored per game all season at home. The Sounders are built with quality players and have been a dynasty in the MLS over the past years, currently sitting pretty in 3rd place of the entire league. They have certainly picked up their game lately, scoring 9 goals total across their last 2 games. They are coming off a game where they scored 6 goals themselves and allowed 2 against, and that was on the road. They will be on the road here where they have average about 2 goals scored per game all season. This game will shoot over the total as both of these teams can score goals. Dallas scores a lot more at home, where they will be in this one, and Seattle is just too good a team to roll over and get shut out on the road. I think this is a great game to go over the total. T.M. Prediction: Dallas 2-2 Sounders. |
|||||||
08-18-21 | Angels -126 v. Tigers | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
I like the Los Angeles Angels to beat the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. The Angels have picked up 2 wins in their last 3 games, winning the first game of the series with the Tigers 8-2. Shohei Ohtani (7-1, 2.93 ERA) has been having a great season both pitching and hitting. He has been credited with 6 straight wins and the team has won their last 3 games when he has started on the mound. He has been pitching very well lately, his last 5 starts having less than 3 earned runs allowed in each. The Tigers are currently on a 2 game losing skid where they have scored just 2 runs total between the 2 games. Tarik Skubal (8-10, 4.10 ERA) will be starting on the mound for them in this one and he has been up and down this season. He has not allowed an earned run in his last 2 starts, but in the 5 games before that he was averaging over 3 earned runs per game. He has not allowed a run in 11 innings but I think that will come to an end here. Ohtani has been a much more consistent pitcher this season and the Angels are just the better team in general. I like the Angels to win this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Angels. |
|||||||
08-18-21 | Padres v. Rockies OVER 14 | 5-7 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the San Diego padres vs Colorado Rockies game on Wednesday. The Padres have been involved in some high scoring games lately, their last 3 games having 10+ runs scored in them. Jake Arrieta (5-11, 6.88 ERA) will be making his Padres debut today, but he has not performed well in his last few games as a Cub. He was credited with 7 losses in a row and the Cubs have lost their last 7 when he started on the mound. He allowed 8 earned runs in his last game and has only had 2 games in his last 8 where he allowed less than 3 earned runs. The Rockies will be starting Chi Chi Gonzalez (3-6, 6.06 ERA) on the mound in this one and he has not had a good year either. The team has only won 2 games of the last 6 he has started in. In his last 4 starts, there were 12+ runs total in each of those games. He has allowed 14 earned runs total in his last 3 starts and has been blown up for more than 6+ runs in a game on multiple occasions this season. Both of these pitchers have struggled this season and, along with the Coors Field effect, I expect there to be plenty of runs in this game to get it over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 10-7 Padres. |
|||||||
08-17-21 | Minnesota United v. San Jose UNDER 3 | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 23 h 57 m | Show | |
I am on the under 3 goals in the San Jose Earthquakes vs Minnesota United game on Tuesday night. The Earthquakes have had their last 7 straight games stay under 3 goals, with 1 of those games having exactly 3. In their last 7 games at home, they have been averaging less than 1 goal a game. Minnesota United have only seen 2 games in their last 7 go over 3 goals. Minnesota only average about 1 goal a game in their last 6 games on the road. The scoring has really dried up a bit for both of these teams in their last few games so I expect this one to stay under 3 goals. T.M. Prediction: Earthquakes 1-1 Minnesota utd. |
|||||||
08-17-21 | Brewers v. Cardinals UNDER 7.5 | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Milwaukee Brewers vs St. Louis Cardinals game on Tuesday. The Brewers went 3 games straight scoring 10+ runs themselves, but their bats have cooled down a bit as their last 2 games stayed under 7.5 runs total. Corbin Burnes (7-4, 2.23 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Brewers and he has pitched very well in his last few games. The team has won their last 5 straight when he has started for them. He has only allowed more than 1 earned run in a game just once in his last 8 starts. The Cardinals have gone over 7.5 runs in their last 2 games, but now they run into a pitcher who has been hot. Adam Wainwright (11-6, 3.27 ERA) has also been pitching well this season. The team has won their last 5 games when he has started. There was only 1 occasion in his last 5 starts where he allowed more than 2 earned runs. Both of these pitchers have been pitching very well in their last few games so I expect this one to go under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Brewers. |
|||||||
08-17-21 | Blue Jays -1.5 v. Nationals | 6-12 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 34 m | Show | |
I like the Toronto Blue Jays on the runline against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. After losing 3 straight games the Blue Jays came up with a big 8-3 win on Sunday. Alek Manoah (5-1, 2.59 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Blue Jays here and he has been having a godd season thus far. The team has won their last 3 games when he has started, all of them by 4+ runs. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in a game in his last 6 starts. The Nationals have not been playing well losing their last 7 games straight. Erick Fedde (4-8, 5.12 ERA) is starting for the Nationals here and he has been credited with 4 straight losses. He has allowed an average of 3+ runs in his last 8 starts for the Nats. The Nats have not been playing well and I expect that to continue here as the Jays beat up on them. Blue Jays win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-16-21 | Padres -129 v. Rockies | 5-6 | Loss | -129 | 22 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the San Diego Padres to defeat the Colorado rockies on Monday night. San Diego has broken their 4 game slump with a big 8-2 victory against the Diamondbacks on Sunday. Ryan Weathers (4-5, 4.72 ERA) will be starting for the Padres and he has been struggling lately. He has been credited with the loss in his last 3 straight starts and the team has lost the last 5 games in a row that he has made an appearance in. He has really been blown up in his last 3 starts allowing 6+ earned runs in each game. I expect him to have a must needed bounce back in this one. The Rockies have put together just 1 win in their last 6 games, allowing 5+ runs scored against them in all 5 of those losses. Antonio Senzatela (2-9, 4.71 ERA) will be starting for the Rockies here and he has not been too good this season. He has been credited with 4 straight losses and has been allowing a lot of runs scored against him when he starts. He has been allowing an average of 3+ earned runs in his last 10 starts, and has cost his team the win in quite a few games this season. Now that the Padres have the taste of winning back in their mouth they should be able to start rolling again. Padres come away with the win here. T.M. Prediction: 7-5 Padres. |
|||||||
08-16-21 | Astros -1.5 v. Royals | 6-7 | Loss | -107 | 21 h 7 m | Show | |
I like the Houston Astros on the runline against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The Astros had their 4 game win streak broken on Sunday and they will want to get back in the win column here. Before falling 3-1 to the Angels on Sunday, the Astros won their previous 4 games by 3+ runs in each. Jake Odorizzi (5-6, 4.59 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Astros and he has been alright this season. The team has won 3 games in the last 4 he has started in, all of those wins by 2+ runs. The Kansas City Royals have definitely hit a rough patch getting swept by the Cardinals over the weekend, currently on a 4 game losing skid. The Royals will be starting Carlos Hernandez (3-1, 4.11 ERA) on the mound and he has been having a decent season. He has pitched well in his last 3 starts, allowing no more than 1 earned run in each game. He has yet to see this Astros lineup this season though, and I think he is due for a let down here. The Astros have been pouring on the runs lately and I expect that to continue here. Astros win by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Astros. |
|||||||
08-15-21 | Blue Jays v. Mariners +110 | 8-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the Seattle Mariners to win against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. The Mariners have been on a bit of a roll lately winning their last 4 straight, taking the 1st 2 games of this series against the Jays. Logan Gilbert (5-3, 4.05 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Mariners and he has been decent in his last few starts. The team has lost the last 2 games he has started in, but I think he is due to bounce back here. The Blue Jays have certainly entered into a slump losing 3 straight games in a row. They will be starting Steven Matz (9-7, 4.28 ERA) in this one and he has pitched well in his last few starts. The team has only won 2 out of their last 7 games with him as a starter. These 2 teams are moving in opposite directions right now, the Mariners are heating up while the Blue Jays are cooling down. I think that will continue for both sides here as the Mariners take this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mariners. |
|||||||
08-15-21 | Reds v. Phillies -132 | 7-4 | Loss | -132 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
I like the Philadelphia Phillies to beat the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Both teams have won a game in this series by the score of 6-1, but I think the Philles will take this one. Aaron Nola (7-6, 4.35 ERA) will be starting for the Phillies in this one and he has pitched some good games lately. He had 1 game in his last 4 where he got blown up, but other than that he has been pretty solid allowing no more than 2 earned runs in each of the other 3 games. The Reds have been in a bit of a rough patch winning just 2 games in 6. They will be starting Sonny Gray (4-6, 4.40 ERA) on the mound and he has not done too well in his his last few starts. He has allowed 20 earned runs total in his last 5 starts. The Reds had been on a long streak of scoring a lot of runs in their games, but that has finally died down. I expect the Phillies to take this game as the Reds' bats have gone cold. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Phillies. |

08-15-21 | Panthers v. Colts UNDER 34.5 | 18-21 | Loss | -114 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Carolina Panthers vs Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The Carolina Panthers will not be playing much of their starters, so it will be backup competition all day for them on the field. I do not think they will be able to score many points in this game with all of these backups playing a lot. The Indianapolis will also not be playing too many starters, but even with their starters they have always been a lower scoring grindy team. The Colts have a great defense with lots of depth that will shut down this Panthers offense. They have also been known for running the ball heavily, which eats up a lot of clock in games. I think this game is set up perfectly for us to see a low number of points scored in it. I am on the under in this one. T.M. Prediction: 17-10 Colts. |

08-14-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Mets | 2-1 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 48 m | Show | |
I am on the los Angeles Dodgers on the runline against the New York Mets on Saturdsy evening. The Dodgers have been on a roll lately, picking up 5 wins in 6 games. They will have Buehler (12-2, 2.13 ERA) and he has been having a great season. He has not allowed more than 2 earned runs in a game in his last 6. The team has won 15 games of his 23 total starts this season, 13 of those games were by 2+ runs. The Mets just had a 3 game win streak broken by the Dodgers, their previous 4 before that though, they had lost all of those by 2+ runs. Taijuan Walker (7-7, 3.89 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Mets and he has not pitched well in his last few. The team has lost the last 4 games that he started in, 3 of them by 2+ runs. He has also allowed 23 earned runs total in his last 6 starts. I think he will be in for a beating in this one as the dodgers continue to roll. The Dodgers win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Dodgers. |

08-14-21 | Saints v. Ravens -127 | 14-17 | Win | 100 | 56 h 37 m | Show | |
I am on the Baltimore Ravens ML at home on Saturday against the New Orleans Saints. The Baltimore Ravens are carrying over a 17 game win streak in the NFL preseason. Clearly, this is a team that plays to win, regardless of the meaning of the game. This will also be a good opportunity for their younger players to showcase their talent and try to earn a spot on this starting roster. The New Orleans Saints are currently dealing with a lot of trade rumors around Michael Thomas, so the dressing room vibes are not the greatest right now. They will also be having a quarterback battle between Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston, neither are the clear favorite to win this battle. There's a reason that there is no clear winner yet, and it is because neither are that solid reliable starting quarterback. Winston has already showed his many flaws as a starting quarterback throughout his carreer and Hill has seen some flashes of play, but a lot of them have been trick plays or runs. Baltimore have solid core players and a lot of depth on their team. They are also just more consistent in their play on the field, and have shown that they will take preseason games just as serious as regular season. The Ravens will continue their huge preseason win streak here with another win over the Saints. T.M. Prediction: 20-16 Ravens. |
|||||||
08-14-21 | Braves -1.5 v. Nationals | 12-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 43 m | Show | |
I like the Atlanta Braves on the runline against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. The Braves have already played the Nationals 4 times in the last week, winning 3 of those games, 2 of them by -1.5. Max Fried (9-7, 3.91 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Braves and he has pitched very well lately, allowing just 3 earned runs total in his last 3 starts. The Nationals are currently in a big slump, they are on a 5 game losing streak, 2Â of those losses by 2+ runs. The Nationals will be starting Patrick Corbin (6-11, 5.83 ERA) and he has not been pitching well lately. The team has lost the last 5 games he has started in, Corbin getting credited for 4 of those losses. He has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of those 5 games, the team losing by 2+ runs in 3 of those games. Corbin has really struggled this season and I expect that to continue here. Atlanta is on a bit of a roll so I think they will win this game by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Braves. |
|||||||
08-14-21 | Broncos v. Vikings +2.5 | 33-6 | Loss | -104 | 53 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the Minnesota Vikings +2.5 on Saturday against the Denver Broncos. The Vikings will be at home for their 1st NFL preseason game this year and i think they have a good chance to even win this game, or at least cover the +2.5 points. I can't imagine that the starters will be playing too long in this game, but I expect to see them in the 1st half putting in a good effort. Even once the starters come off the field, this Vikings team has a lot of depth on their side and still mhave a few open positions on the team up for grabs on both offense and defense. They will want to give it their all in this game to try to earn a spot on the team for this season. The Broncos have a very good team, but they still have a big question mark at quarterback. Bridgewater will likely be seen in this game, but could be a little nervous going back to the place where he suffered a massive injury that derailed his carreer. Drew Lock will be seen as well, but he is not making any more progress than Bridgewater at training camp. I don't think the Broncos will be moving the ball very well against the Vikings so I like Minnesota to keep this a close game. I think there is good value on them here at home in the 1st game for either team in many months. T.M. Prediction: 17-16 Vikings. |
|||||||
08-13-21 | Cowboys v. Cardinals -125 | 16-19 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
I like the Arizona Cardinals to beat the Dallas Cowboys on Friday night. This is the Cardinals 1st preseason match this year and I expect them to get some of their starters in the game for this one. Kyler Murray will definitely be getting some plays in the game along with a few others on both the offense and defense. The Dallas cowboys will not be able to get Dak Prescott any playing time as he has suffered a minor injury that will keep him out a little longer. The Cardinals have slowly built a pretty good team over the past couple of years while it seems like the Cowboys have been moving sideways. We have already seen the Cowboys play in a preseason match a week ago and it did not look good, only mustering up 3 points in the whole game. The Cardinals will have more of their starters making an appearance than the Cowboys including quarterback Kyler Murray, which should be enough to get some points up. The Cowboys will not be able to score enough to keep up in this one. Cardinals win this game here at home. T.M. Prediction: 28-10 Cardinals. |
|||||||
08-13-21 | Dodgers -148 v. Mets | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 28 m | Show |
I am on the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the New York Mets on Friday evening. The Dodgers had a 4 game win streak snapped on Thursday and i expect them to get back on track here. Julio Urias (13-3, 3.41 ERA) will be starting for them and he has been great this season. He has only allowed 3 earned runs in his last 4 and has been credited with 4 straight wins. The team has been very successful this year with him pitching losing just 6 of the 23 games he has started in. The Mets have been a little hot lately, currently on a 3 game win streak, but 2 of those wins came by just 1 run. The Mets will be starting Tylor Megill (1-2, 3.20 ERA) and he does not have too much experience playing in the big leagues. He has lost his last 2 starts allowing 4 earned runs in each of those games. The Dodgers lineup has a lot of talent and depth and will beat up on this rookie pitcher. The Mets have played some close games lately, but that win streak will end here as the Dodgers will be looking to get a win after losing the previous night. I expect the Dodgers to take this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. |
|||||||
08-13-21 | Reds v. Phillies UNDER 8.5 | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 19 h 24 m | Show | |
I like the under in the Cincinnati Reds vs Philadelphia Phillies game on Friday evening. The Reds have been involved in quite a few high scoring games lately, 8 in their last 10 going over 9 runs total. Tyler Mahle (9-3, 3.78 ERA) is starting for the Reds and the team has gone over 9 runs total in 4 of his last 5 starts. the last game he started went under where he only allowed 2 earned runs. The Phillies have seen much lower scoring games in their last 6, 5 of those featuring less than 9 runs total. The Phillies will be starting Zack Wheeler (10-6, 2.42 ERA) on the mound and he pitched a 9 inning shutout in his last outing. The last 4 games he started in all had 9 runs total or less in each and Wheeler should have a lot of confidence coiming into this game. The runs are bound to die down for these Reds and, against an already lower scoring Phillies team, I like both of these pitchers to keep this score low. I like this game to stay under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Phillies. |
|||||||
08-12-21 | Washington Football Team v. Patriots OVER 36 | 13-22 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 11 m | Show | |
The Washington Football Team is taking on the New England Patriots in Week 1 of the NFL preseason and I am on the over in this one. The HOF game was a bit of a snore but i think this game is set up much better to see a lot more scoring in. This game will be a chance for Taylor Heinicke to showcase his talent and prove that he deserves a chance at being an NFL starter. Whether or not he can, there is definitely motivation there for him to want to put a lot of points up in this game. Washington has picked up a lot of pieces this offseason and this is the first real opportunity to see how it will all mesh. Ron Rivera has already expressed that he expects his players to work hard at everythiing this year, this game included. I expect the Football Team to go out there and try to get the win which means they will be trying to score lots of points as the young players will want to use this chance to try to make a name for themselves. New England will be having their rookie Mac Jones play in this one and he too will want to prove in this game why he can overtake Cam Newton as the starter for the Patriots. He has been looking great at training camp and has a real good chance to win this job which means he will also be out there playing to win. With both of these teams treating this more like a real game and less like a meaningless preseason game, the over makes total sense. I think there should be plenty of scoring from both sides here so I am on the over. T.M Prediction: 27-20 Football Team. |
|||||||
08-12-21 | Brewers -1.5 v. Cubs | 17-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers on the runline against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. The Brewers have been rolling lately on a 3 game win streak, all 3 wins coming against these Cubs. The Brewers -1.5 has cashed in all 3 of those games. Milwaukee is 12-3 against the Cubs this year and the -1.5 has cashed 10 of those games. Brandon Woodruff (7-6, 2.23 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has had a pretty good season. The team has lost the last 3 games that Woodruff has started in but he did not get blown out himself, allowing no more than 3 earned runs in any of those. The Cubs have been terrible lately with just 1 win in 10 games. They have lost 7 straight in a row, all but 1 of those losses were by 2+ runs. The Cubs will be starting Kyle Hendricks (13-4, 3.68 ERA) and he has had a good year. He has been awarded with 11 straight wins but, I think that will end here. He has allowed 8 earned runs in his last 3 starts, and now he faces a Brewers lineup 30 runs in their last 5. These 2 teams are headed in opposite directions, the Brewers have been pounding the ball lately while the Cubs have been getting decimated. The Brewers have already cleared the runline in all games of this series and I expect that to continue here. Brewers win -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Brewers. |
|||||||
08-11-21 | Marlins v. Padres -1.5 | 7-0 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 36 m | Show | |
I like the San Diego Padres runline over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday afternoon. The Padres have won their last 4 straight, cashing the runline in the 3 of those games. Ryan Weathers (4-4, 4.26 ERA) is starting on the mound for them and the team has not done well when he has started lately. The Padres have lost their last 4 games with Weathers starting. He has struggled a ton in his last 2 starts, allowing a combined 14 runs in just those 2 games. I think this is a great chance for him to bounce back here against a very bad Miami Marlins team. The Marlins have been on a terrible skid, currently on a 5 game losing streak, they have lost 4 of those by 3+ runs allowing less than 6 runs total in none of those games. Sandy Alcantara (6-10, 3.70 ERA) is starting for the Marlins and his last few starts have been rough. The team has picked up 1 win in the last 5 games he has started in, all 4 of those losses by 2+ runs. Both of these teams have been moving in opoosite directions lately, with the Padres on a roll and the Marlins on a slump. I think this is another game that the Marlins get beat up in and the Padres clear the runline yet again. Padres win by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. |
|||||||
08-11-21 | Rockies v. Astros OVER 8.5 | 1-5 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Colorado Rockies vs Houston Astros game. The Rockies have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately with only 1 in their last 5 featuring less than 11 runs. Antonio Senzatela (2-8, 4.73 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Rockies and he has not been that solid this season. His last 7 starts he has averaged a little over 3 earned runs per game and in his last 5 starts the games have gone over the posted total in 4 of them. The Houston Astros have been hitting their bats well in their last few games, scoring 4+ runs themselves in each of their last 4. Framber Valdez (7-3, 3.22 ERA) is starting for the Astros and lately he has been having a few starts where he has allowed some runs and lot of hits. He has allowed 4+ earned runs in half of his last 6 starts. In 13 starts this season, there has only been 2 occasions where he allows less than 4 hits, averaging well over 5 per game for this season. If he pitches like this on Wednesday he will give the Rockies plenty of opportunity to score some runs. The Astros have been hitting the ball very well lately too, so I think this game sees plenty of runs in it from both teams. I like this one to go over the total. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Astros. |
|||||||
08-10-21 | Rangers v. Mariners OVER 7.5 | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 18 h 54 m | Show | |
I like the over in the Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners game on Tuesday night. The Rangers are on a 2 game losing skid, both of those games featuring 9+ runs total in each. Kolby Allard (2-10, 5.07 ERA) will be starting for the Rangers in this game. Allard has been having an awful year, credited with a loss in his last 8 straight, the team losing their last 9 when he has started. He has allowed 24 earned runs in his last 5 starts for the Rangers. After a 4 game slump, the Mariners have gotten back on track with a 2-0 win against the Yankees on Sunday. The Mariners have had just 1 game that has featured more than 8 runs total in it in their last 6, but i think that run ends here. Logan Gilbert (5-3, 4.14 ERA) will be starting for the Mariners and he has been involved in quite a few high scoring games this season. The team has only lost 1 game in his last 12 starts, only 4 of those featured less than 8 runs total. Considering the way the Rangers and Allard have been playing lately, they should be in for a beating here as this game flies way over the total. T.M. Prediction: 9-3 Mariners. |

08-10-21 | A's v. Indians +1.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 15 h 54 m | Show | |
I am on the Cleveland Indians +1.5 against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday evening. Cleveland is currently on a 2 game win streak, the Indians +1.5 has cashed in their last 4 straight though. Triston McKenzie (1-5, 5.89 ERA) is starting on the mound in this game and he has struggled a lot this season. He has been credited with 4 straight losses and has allowed 16 earned runs in his last 4 starts. I think that will finally turn around here as the Indians seem to be moving in the right direction recently. The Athletics have been on a hot streak lately winning their last 4 straight. Sean Manaea (8-7, 3.26 ERA) is starting here for the A's and he has struggled in his last few starts. Manaea has only been credited with 2 wins in his last 6 starts and is coming off a game where he allowed 5 earned runs in his last. I am stepping in front of this hot Oakland team as I expect the Indians to keep this game close even if they still get the loss. Cleveland Indians on the runline Tuesday evening. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Athletics. |
|||||||
08-10-21 | Dodgers -163 v. Phillies | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 15 h 50 m | Show | |
I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The Dodgers are currently on a roll winning their last 2 games. The recently acquired stud Max Scherzer (9-4, 2.75 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Dodgers. He was credited with a win in his debut for the team only allowing 2 earned runs as the Dodgers went on to win that game 7-5. Scherzer is all too familiar with this Phillies lineup after years of playing in the same division, and he is 3-0 against these Phillies this season giving up just 1 earned run in each of those games. Aaron Nola (7-6, 4.49 ERA) is the starter for Philadelphia and he has definitely struggled a bit lately. He has allowed 4+ earned runs in a majority of his last 6 starts. The Dodgers have been hitting well with 13 runs scored in their last 2 games. I think Nola will be in for a beating here as Scherzer extends his perfect streak against these Phillies. Dodgers get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Dodgers. |
|||||||
08-10-21 | Genk v. Shakhtar Donetsk -103 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
I like Shakhtar Donetsk to get the win against Genk on Tuesday afternoon. Shakhtar is a very powerful team in their league and they always find a path to Champions League each year. They had won the Ukraine League title 3 years in a row before falling to 2nd place last season. Shakhtar has been very consistent over the years though, they have qualified for Champions League the last 4 years straight. They have a 2-1 lead after the 1st leg and now come home for this match. Genk won the Belgian League 2 years ago but have really fallen off the map since then. They did not qualify for Champions League last year, and they have only made an appearance once in the last decade. Shakhtar is a much more consistent team and have already proven that they can get the win against Genk on the road. Now they are at home and Shakhtar is sure to come out with the win to ensure their advancement to the next round. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Shakhtar Donetsk. |
|||||||
08-09-21 | Marlins v. Padres -1.5 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 23 h 30 m | Show |
I like the San Diego Padres on the runline Monday night against the Miami Marlins. The Padres have cashed on the runline in 4 games of their last 6. Joe Musgrove (7-7, 2.87 ERA) will be starting on the mound for San Diego and he has been having a good year thus far. He has pitched exceptionally well in his last 3 starts allowing a total of 3 earned runs in those 3 games. The Marlins have taken a beating lately currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing each of those by 12, 3, and 5 runs, allowing a total of 34 runs scored against them in those 3 games. Zach Thompson (2-4, 2.53 ERA) will be starting for Miami here and the team has seen better days than with him on the mound. Miami has lost the last 5 games that Thompson has started in, all but 1 of those by 2+ runs. This is thompson's 1st year in the MLB and he has already been lit up by these Padres allowing 3 earned runs in a 5-2 loss to them just a few weeks ago. This Padres lineup is very talented and with the way the Marlins have been getting lit up lately, this should be another destruction of Miami. San Diego wins this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Padres. |
|||||||
08-08-21 | White Sox -1.5 v. Cubs | 9-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
I like the Chicago White Sox on the runline against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday night. The White Sox have already taken the 1st 2 games of this series, both by 2+ runs, and they will be going for the sweep here. Dylan Cease (8-6, 3.92 ERA) is starting on the mound for the White Sox and he has been pretty solid all season. In all 8 of the games that he was awarded the win in, the White Sox went on to win all of those by 2+ runs, cashing that runline every single time. The Cubs have lost twice in a row now to these White Sox, but the slump stretches back even further as they have only been able to muster up 2 wins in 11 games. The Cubs will be starting Zach Davies (6-8, 4.79 ERA) here and he has been struggling a lot lately. The Cubs only have 1 win in the last 7 games that Davies has made an appearance in. He has not pitched a game with less than 2 earned runs allowed in that time frame, totally collapsing in his last 2 games allowing a total of 11 runs between the 2. He will be in trouble against this White Sox lineup on Sunday night. The White Sox take this one by 2+ runs. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 White Sox. |
|||||||
08-08-21 | Mets v. Phillies UNDER 8.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 15 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies game. There has been no more than 8 runs scored total in the last 4 games that the Mets have played in. They will be starting Taijuan Walker (7-6, 3.86 ERA) on the mound in this one. After a great start to the season for Walker, he has hit a bit of a rough patch allowing 4+ runs in each of his last 4 starts. I think he bounces back in this game getting back to that good form that he has played most of the season. The Phillies will be starting Zack Wheeler (9-6, 2.57 ERA) on the mound and he has also been having a pretty good year this season. In his 22 appearances this season, over 66% of the games he has played in had less than 9 runs in them. The first 2 games of this series had less than 9 runs in them and I expect that to be the same on Sunday afternoon. I like this game to stay under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Phillies. |
|||||||
08-07-21 | Marlins +145 v. Rockies | 4-7 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 9 m | Show | |
I like the Miami Marlins at the underdog price here to defeat the Colorado Rockies. The Marlins are coming off of a beating from these Rockies on Friday night and revenge will be on the mind for them. Jesus Luzardo (3-4, 6.70 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Marlins and he has been shaky this season. Hoping for a new start on a new team, Luzardo has already turned things around getting the win for himself and his team in his debut game as a Marlin. The Rockies will be starting Austin Gomber (8-6, 4.04 ERA) who has been performing well this season. he may be trending in the wrong direction though, as he has allowed 9 runs scored total in his last 3 starts. Jesus Luzardo should have his confidence up here with a good start already on his new team. The Marlins' bats should be hungry after the destruction they suffered the previous night and i think they get the job done here at the dog price. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Marlins. |
|||||||
08-07-21 | Red Sox v. Blue Jays -148 | 2-1 | Loss | -148 | 19 h 6 m | Show | |
I am on the Toronto Blue Jays to win game 2 of this double-header on Saturday against the Boston Red Sox. The Blue Jays have been steamrolling right over teams currently on a 4 game win streak and losing just once in their last 9 outings. Jose Berrios (8-5, 3.31 ERA) is set to start on the mound for Toronto and he has been having a decent season thus far. Recently, Berrios was on a bit of a losing skid over in Minnesota, but he came out in his Blue Jays debut and pitched a shutout for the win getting right back on track. The Red Sox will be starting Tanner Houck (0-2, 2.45 ERA) who has also been having a pretty good season up to this point. The last game he pitched in was against these Blue Jays allowing only 1 run in a 4-1 win for the Red Sox. Toronto's bats have certainly heated up since that game though, and he will be in for a beating here. The Blue Jays take the win in game 2. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-07-21 | Toronto v. Calgary -6.5 | 23-20 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the Calgary Stampeders to COVER THE -6.5 spread against the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday. The Calgary Stampeders ended the 2019 season with a 12-6 record making it all the way semi-final before getting stopped short by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Toronto Argonauts ended the 2019 season with a 4-14 record failing to make the playoffs. The Stampeders recently hired all new coaching staff and have a lot of young, new players added to their roster for this season. This team may not be the exact same one that has dominated the CFL for years, but they have a lot of energy with all these young additions and they should make an impact here. Back in the 2019 season, Calgary ended the year off winning 70% of their home games while the Argos struggled on the road winning less than half of their road games. It's a new season and after not playing last year, these players are excited to get back on the field. Between the energy of the players and the home crowd, it will be too much for Toronto to handle. Stampeders get the win at home here by 7+. T.M. Prediction: 33-20 Stampeders. |

08-06-21 | Tigers v. Indians -150 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 18 h 33 m | Show | |
I like the Cleveland Indians on Friday night to take down the Detroit Tigers. Cal Quantrill (2-2, 3.40 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Indians. The team has actually lost the last 3 games that he has made an appearance in. Despite this, Quantrill has actually been pitching very well lately allowing no more than 1 run in each of his last 4 starts. The Tigers will be starting Matt Manning (2-4, 5.59 ERA) on the mound and he has had a bit of a rough MLB debut this season. In 8 starts this season, the team has only won 3 games that he has made an appearance in. The Indians just went 0-3 in their series against the Ble Jays and will be eager to get back to winning ways here. I like them to snap their losing streak against this rookie pitcher here on Friday night. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Indians. |
|||||||
08-06-21 | White Sox -149 v. Cubs | 8-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 58 m | Show | |
I like Lance Lynn (10-3, 2.07 ERA) and the Chicago White Sox to defeat Kyle Hendricks (13-4, 3.71 ERA) and the Chicago Cubs Friday afternoon. The White Sox are currently on a little losing skid after dropping 2 of 3 games to the Royals and should be eager to get back in the win column here. Lynn has pitched very well this season and has allowed more than 1 run on just 1 occasion in his last 6 starts. The team has won 4 games of his last 5 starts and they also back him up with run support scoring a total 25 runs in those 5 games. The Cubs have really been struggling lately as they have amassed 7 losses in 9 games. Hendricks has also been pitching well this year and has been awarded with a win in his last 11 starts that there was a decision. This streak cannot go on forever though, and I think this is the perfect spot for him to lose in. The White Sox get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 White Sox. |

08-05-21 | Hamilton v. Winnipeg +160 | Top | 6-19 | Win | 160 | 21 h 44 m | Show |
CFL is back and kicks off Thursday night with a game between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Blue Bombers are the defending Grey Cup champions from 2019, as there was no season last year, and still come into this game as a +3.5 point dog. I love the Blue Bombers here at the dog price to win this game straight up. The last CFL game that either of these teams played was in that 2019 Grey Cup where the Blue Bombers smoked the Tiger-Cats 33-12. There is definitely some revenge factor for Hamilton here, but as far as Winnipeg is concerned they have been disrespected yet again with this line. This is a team that played the entire 2019 season with that underdog mentality, they were even a dog in every single playoff game and still came out victorious. They are used to being disrespected and will also be coming to play with a chip on their shoulder. Both of these teams are missing a few key pieces here so each have their own disadvantages in the injury department. The Blue Bombers have home advantage here and will definitely want to come out and show everyone how they are still going to be a strong force in this league. T.M. Prediction: 30-25 Blue Bombers. |

08-05-21 | Cowboys v. Steelers UNDER 33 | 3-16 | Win | 100 | 20 h 17 m | Show | |
NFL is back and the preseason kicks off Thursday with the Hall of Fame game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys. I am on the under in this game as it will be a game between 3rd and 4th stringers to test their abilities in an actual NFL game. Both teams have left many starters off the table for this game so it is hard to imagine either side moving the ball upfield with ease. The few veterans that will be active for this game are mainly runningbacks so there should be a lot of running plays which will eat up the clock as well keeping this one low scoring. The Steelers will also be testing their 2 backup quarterbacks, Mason Rudolf and Dwayne Haskins, to see who will earn that 2nd spot. Haskins loves to run the ball himself as well as throw and if both sides plan on keeping the game run heavy or even struggle to move the ball, this game will for sure stay under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 17-10 Steelers. |
|||||||
08-05-21 | Indians v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 18 m | Show | |
I am on the Toronto Blue Jays runline over the Cleveland Indians on Thursday evening. The Blue Jays have been on a tear recently winning 6 games in their last 7, all of those wins coming by 2+ runs. Ross Stripling (4-6, 4.75 ERA) will be on the mound in this game and although he has had a shaky season thus far, he has only allowed 3 runs total in his last 2 starts. The Blue Jays have also been pouring on the runs lately scoring 45 on their streak here. The Indians will be starting Triston McKenzie (1-4, 6.11 ERA) on the mound and he has been gettin beaten up this season. He has allowed 13 runs in his last 3 starts and with the way Toronto is hitting currently, he will be in trouble here. The Jays have already cleared the runline in 2 of the 3 games this series and they will be sure to cap off this series with another blowout. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-04-21 | Angels -160 v. Rangers | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 45 m | Show | |
I am on the LA Angels to beat the Texas Rangers Wednesday night. The Angels have been in a bit of a rough patch lately picking up 4 losses in their last 6. They will have Shohei Ohtani (5-1, 3.04 ERA) starting on the mound for them and he has been having a stellar year on the mound and in the lineup. The team has won 6 of their last 8 games when he has made an appearance in the game. The Rangers had their 3 game win streak ended by the Angels on Tuesday. Kolby Allard (2-9, 5.23 ERA) will be starting for them and he has had an awful season so far. He has allowed 4+ runs in each of his last 4 starts and the Rangers have lost the last 7 straight games that he has made an appearance in. This is the perfect spot for the Angels to get back on track here against a slumping pitcher. The Angels should come away with the win here no problem. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Angels. |
|||||||
08-04-21 | Mariners v. Rays -153 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
I like the Tampa Bay Rays to defeat the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. The Rays have been on a roll lately picking up 4 wins in 6 games and i expect that to continue here. Josh Fleming (8-5, 4.15 ERA) will be on the mound for them here and he has not performed well lately. He has allowed 3+ runs in each of his last 3 starts but I expect a big bounce back for him here. The Mariners have been on the complete opposite streak losing 4 in 7 games. Logan Gilbert (5-2, 4.04 ERA) will be starting for them and he has had a pretty good debut season. The Mariners have won their last 11 straight games when Gilbert has made an appearance in the game, but that trend has been running much too long and that will end in this game. The Rays have the momentum on their side and will come out with a win on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Rays. |
|||||||
08-03-21 | Astros v. Dodgers -170 | 3-0 | Loss | -170 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
I like the LA Dodgers to get the win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. The Dodgers have won their last 2 games scoring a combined 21 runs in those. They will be starting Walker Buehler (11-1, 2.19 ERA) on the mound who has been having an incredible season this year. The Dodgers definitely back him up with runs as they have scored a combined 42 runs in Buehler's last 4 starts. The Astros are on a 2 game losing skid right now and will be starting Lance McCullers (8-2, 3.23 ERA) on the mound. McCullers has also been having a great season so far but will face a tough challenge here as the Dodgers' bats have woken up. The Dodgers have more momentum coming into this game and they will be the ones who come out victorious here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Dodgers. |
|||||||
08-03-21 | Indians v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
I like the Toronto Blue Jays on the runline Tuesday againt the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland just broke the 4 game win streak that the Blue Jays were on and Toronto will be looking for some revenge here with their ace on the mound. Hyun Jin Ryu (10-5, 3.26 ERA) has been pitching very well lately allowing just 5 runs in his last 4 starts. The team has also won their last 4 games by 5+ runs when Ryu has made an appearance in the game. Zach Plesac (6-3, 4.26 ERA) will be starting for Cleveland and he has been shaky this season allowing 3+ runs in a majority of his games. The Blue Jays have a lot of talent in their lineup and should have no problems scoring runs in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-03-21 | Orioles v. Yankees OVER 10 | 1-13 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
I like the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees to go over the total Tuesday. The Baltimore Orioles haver had tons of runs scored in their recent games with their last 13 having at least 7+ runs in each. Alexander Wells (1-1, 5.28 ERA) has not been treated well in his 1st MLB season as teams have been just eating him up. In just 4 starts with the team this season, the Orioles have not seen a game with less than 8 runs in it when Wells is on the mound. The Yankees have not scored a ton of runs in their last few games but will be eager to hit their bats here after a 7-1 blowout by Baltimore in the last game. Nestor Cortes (0-0, 1.93 ERA) is starting for the Yankees and despite having a 0-0 record this season, he has made an appearance in 11 games this year, most of those games saw 7+ runs in each by either side. With these 2 pitchers there should be plenty of runs here so I expect this game to go over the total. T.M. Prediction: 8-5 Yankees. |
|||||||
08-02-21 | Mariners v. Rays -150 | 8-2 | Loss | -150 | 14 h 31 m | Show | |
I like the Michael Wacha (2-2, 4.79 ERA) and the Tampa Bay Rays to win over Chris Flexen (9-5, 3.81 ERA) and the Seattle Mariners. The Rays have been hot lately winning their last 4 games scoring a combined 33 runs across those games. Wacha lost his last start but the team won their previous 3 when he has started on the mound. The Mariners are currently on a 2 game losing streak and have lost 4 of their last 5. Flexen has also lost his last 2 starts on the mound for his team. The Rays are on the road to the playoffs right now and I expect them to put up a good performance here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Rays. |
|||||||
08-02-21 | Indians v. Blue Jays OVER 9 | 5-2 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
I like the Cleveland Indians and the Toronto Blue Jays to go over the total in this one. The Indians are coming off of a 2-1 loss Sunday but had enough runs in each of their previous 3 to go over the posted total. Eli Morgan (1-3, 7.47 ERA) has had a tough first year in the MLB so far and he is about to go up against a Blue Jays side that have the bats to drive this score up. Every single game that Morgan has pitched in this season has seen 8+ runs except for 1. Robbie Ray (9-5, 3.04 ERA) will be on the mound for the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays have been hot winning their last 4 games scoring at least 4 runs in each. The Blue Jays finally get to be back in Toronto for their home games and I expect them to put up a show for their fans here. This one goes over 9.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-01-21 | Astros +100 v. Giants | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
I like the Houston Astros to beat the San Francisco Giants. Luis Garcia (7-5, 3.19 ERA) allowed 6 runs in the last game he played in, but the team has won 4 of their last 6 when he has started on the mound and I think he will be looking to bounce back here with a good performance. Logan Webb (4-3, 3.36 ERA) has pitched extremly well with the team winning their last 7 straight with him starting on the mound. I think that good fortune comes to an end here as the Astros' bats are hot currently scoring 6+ runs in each of their last 5 games. The Astros win this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. |
|||||||
08-01-21 | Brewers v. Braves -157 | 2-1 | Loss | -157 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
I like Charlie Morton (10-3, 3.72 ERA) and the Atlanta Braves to get the job done again today. Atlanta have won 4 of the last 5 games that Morton has made an appearance in. The Braves are coming off of an 8-1 win against the Milwaukee Brewers last night. After 4 straight games of scoring 7+ runs the Brewers have finally calmed down with their bats and I expect that to continue into this game. Brett Anderson (3-5, 3.86 ERA) did not allow a run in the last game he pitched in, but the Brewers have lost 4 of their last 6 games when he has started on mound. I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction : 6-3 Braves. |
|||||||
07-31-21 | Uriah Hall v. Sean Strickland UNDER 3.5 | Top | 0-1 | Push | 0 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Strickland/Hall UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH). I absolutely don't see this one going to decision. Strickland is a big favorite and Hall is going to have to take some risks if he wants to avoid this one going to the cards, where he'd surely lose to the more technical fighter. Each fighter has the power to deliver a KO as well. Look for this fight to fall well under the posted number. T.M. Prediction: Quick KO/SUB etc. |
|||||||
07-31-21 | Twins +122 v. Cardinals | 8-1 | Win | 122 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota (8* MONEY-MAKER). I like the Twins and Bailey Ober (1-1, 5.19 ERA) to get the better of Jon Lester and the Cardinals this evening. Ober is coming off a no-decision to the Angels on Sunday despite allowing only two runs and striking out four over six innings. The bottom line is though I think that Lester (3-5, 5.02) will struggle for his new team. Adjustment period is imminent and I expect that to lead to a victory for the undervalued/starving Twins; the play is Minnesota! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. |
|||||||
07-31-21 | Royals v. Blue Jays OVER 9.5 | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jays OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Royals have been playing really good baseball of late. Despite yesterday's 6-4 series opening loss, they've still won eight of their last nine. The opener went under, and the Royals have actually seen the total dip below the posted number in six straight. The Jays have returned to Toronto and I think that we're in for an even higher-scoring game on Saturday. I don't trust either starter. Mike Minor (8-8, 5.32 ERA) for the Royals has been consistently inconsistent all season. Alek Manoah (2-1, 2.90) hasn't pitched since early July due to injury for the Jays. I expect the starters to get the hook early and that'll ultimatley result in this one flying over the number sooner, rather than later; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 8-7 Toronto. |
|||||||
07-30-21 | Twins -114 v. Cardinals | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -114 | 13 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Twins (10* TRADE-MARK). I like Jose Berrios (7-5, 3.48 ERA) in this matchup over his counterpart Wade LeBlanc (0-2, 4.31). LeBlanc is coming off another shaky start for the Cards, most recently allowing three runs off eight hits over four innings in a fortunate no-decision to the Reds. He's only pitched 22 innings and his decent ERA is not supported at all by his pedestrian/poor 1.55 WHIP and 15/9 K:BB. Berrios gave up two runs over seven innings and still took a loss to the Angels in his last outing. Off that hard-luck setback, I look for Berrios to be pivotal in his team posting a victory here; lay the short price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Minnesota. |
|||||||
07-30-21 | Orioles v. Tigers OVER 9.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -101 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Orioles/Tigers OVER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). While these teams played to a lower-scoring under in the Tigers' 6-2 series opening victory, all signs point to more of an explosive affair on Friday! Baltimore sees Matt Harvey (5-10, 6.65 ERA) toe the slab. Harvey is coming off a rare good outing, holding the Nationals scoreless over six innings. Starts like that have been few and far between for Harvey and I expect an immediate return to mediocrity (he's just 3-4 with a 6.62 ERA on the road.) Tarik Skubal (6-9, 4.42) gets the nod for the home side and he most recently gave up five runs over five innings in a loss to the lowly Royals in his last outing. He's just 2-7 with a 4.98 ERA in all night games this year; look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Detroit. |
|||||||
07-29-21 | Blue Jays +103 v. Red Sox | Top | 13-1 | Win | 103 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* TRADE-MARK). Toronto needs to make up some ground on the Red Sox and maintain its lead on the Yanks. I like the Jays to build off their 4-1 win yesterday. They will feel great in handing the ball to Hyun-Jin Ryu (9-5, 3.44 ERA), who is coming off a mediocre no-decision to the Mets, allowing four runs over four innings. Ryu though has been super solid all year and there's no reason not to believe he can't return to form here. Eduardo Rodriguez (7-5, 5.23) has pitched much better of late after a shaky start, but he still owns a poor 5.36 ERA at home this season. I like Ryu in this one, great value on the hungry Jays! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Toronto. |
|||||||
07-29-21 | Yankees -130 v. Rays | 0-14 | Loss | -130 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Yanks (8* MONEY-MAKER). I think Luis Patino (1-2, 5.26 ERA) has a lot of potential, but he's completely overclassed here and I think he'll struggle to keep pace. He most recently allowed four runs over five innings in a no-decision. He'll be opposed by Yanks' ace Gerritt Cole (10-5, 2.74), who has admittedly not been at his best over the last month, but who I think will have more than enough to easily beat Patino (Cole is 6-3 with a 2.77 ERA on the road.) The Rays have lost three straight and all signs point to to another one here. Great price on the undervalued visiting side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 New York. |
|||||||
07-28-21 | Dodgers v. Giants UNDER 7.5 | Top | 8-0 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers/Giants UNDER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF ELITE). No need to over think this one. The Dodgers won here 2-1 last night and I expect a similar final combined score here as well. These are two of the most dominant starting pitchers in the league right now, and they're facing off tonight in this contest. The Dodgers go with Walker Buehler (10-1, 2.31 ERA) and the Giants see Anthony DeSclafani (10-4, 2.87) toe the slab; this one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Giants. |
|||||||
07-28-21 | Braves v. Mets -125 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mets (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Mets have been trading wins and losses ove rtheir last six games and after falling here 12-5 to the Braves yesterday, I expect this strong trend to continue. I have no faith in Braves' starter Max Fried. Tylor Megill has been great over 30 innings for the Mets though posting a 1.10 WHIP and 33 to 10 strikeout to walk ratio. At this price, how can we possibly turn this one down? I say the Mets bounce back big! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 New York. |
|||||||
07-28-21 | Cardinals v. Indians +102 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 102 | 4 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the way this one sets up for Zach Plesac and the Indians. Cleveland is deperate for a win here, as it's lost seven of its last ten, including a 4-2 loss here yesterday to the Cards. St. Louis has a night off before another interleague series, but this time at home to the Twins, setting this up as a classic letdown/look-ahead spot for the visitors, who have won two in a row and seven of their last ten. Kwang-Hyun Kim has won five straight starts, but I say he finally stumbles here against the hungrier home side; great value here on Cleveland! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Indians. |
|||||||
07-27-21 | Dodgers -117 v. Giants | 1-2 | Loss | -117 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (8* MONEY-MAKER). After losing three in a row, the Dodgers have now won two straight. I say the keep the foot on the gas again here on Tuesday night. San Fran broke a two-game slide with a 6-1 at Pittsburgh, but I think it'll have its hands full here in the opener of this one. Logan Webb (4-3, 3.54 ERA), has been good, but I'll give the big nod to Julio Urias (12-3, 3.63) who has been a beat all year for LA. This is a bigger mismatch than what this line is trying to lead us to believe. Great value on the Dodgers! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Dodgers. |
|||||||
07-27-21 | Marlins -120 v. Orioles | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Marlins (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I like the Marlins and Sandy Alcantara here. He's coming off a longer layoff because being on the bereavement list, but I think that'll help him here. Spencer Watkins has been great in his limited time for the Orioles, but I think he'll struggle here to keep pace with his superior opponent. The Orioles have won six in a row, but I say that streak ends here (nnote that Baltimore is still just 4-9 in its last 13 at home.) Look for Miami to move to 10-3 in its last 13 interleague road games against a team with a losing record; the play is the Marlins! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Miami. |
|||||||
07-26-21 | Reds v. Cubs -125 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cubs (10* TRADE-MARK). The Cubs are out of contention, but they haven't thrown in the towel and they won't be rolling over for their division rival here. Especially with their ace on the mound. Wade Miley (8-4, 2.72 ERA) and Kyle Henrdricks (12-4, 3.61) are evenly matched, but the Cubs are 7-1 in their last eight home games in the -115 to -135 range. In the opener of this four-game set, look for the home side to draw "first blood." The play is the Cubs! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Chicago. |
|||||||
07-25-21 | Tigers v. Royals +104 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 104 | 5 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Royals (10* TRADE-MARK). The Royals are playing their best ball of the year right now and I look for that trend to continue here. After coming from behind and then holding on for the 9-8 victory over the Tigers yesterday, the Royals have now won four in a row. Detroit had won seven in a row and I think its now due for further regression after back-to-back road defeats here. Lynch and Skubal are the starting pitchers. Both have been bad. They're a "wash" for arguments sakes, but the momentum that KC has built up right now is real in my opinion. I'll also point out that the Royals are 7-2 in their last nine after scoring 8 or more runs in a home victory in their last outing. The price is right, the play is KC! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 KC. |
|||||||
07-25-21 | Cardinals v. Reds -1.5 | 10-6 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Reds runline (8* MONEY-MAKER). No need to over think this one. The Reds have taken the first two games of this series over their rivals and I expect them to find a way to break out the brooms. This is a favorable starting pitching matchup for them as well. The Reds see Sonny Gray (2-5, 3.65 ERA) toe the slab this afternoon. He's coming off a rare poor outing against the red hot Brewers last weekend, allowing five runs and striking out six over five innings. Gray is opposed by the erratic Johan Oviedo (0-5, 4.81), who has been called up from Triple A recently. The rookie is 0-3 with a 5.98 ERA on the road and I expect him to struggle again here in this difficult road venue. Reds not only win, they win BIG! The play is Cincy on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Reds. |
|||||||
07-24-21 | A's -1.5 v. Mariners | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: A's (8* MONEY-MAKER). Likely a lot the public money is going to be on the A's tonight, but hey, the public wins 50 percent of the time as well. And after their three-game win streak was snapped, I think this is a favorable starting pitching matchup to bounce back on for the visiting side. The A's see ace Chris Bassitt (10-3, 3.31 ERA) take the hill, while Logan Gilbert (4-2, 3.50) counters for the M's. Bassitt has been great on the road and I think that Gilbert is primed for regression. This line could/should in fact be much larger in my opinion; the play is the A's! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oakland. |
|||||||
07-24-21 | TJ Dillashaw v. Cory Sandhagen UNDER 3.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -160 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sandhagen/Dillashaw UNDER 3.5 rounds (-166 Pinnacle). Dillishaw has something to prove here after a lengthy suspension for EPO use. He last competed in 2019 when he lost in 32 seonds to Henry Cejudo by knockout. Sandhagen has won 7 of his 8 fights in the UFC, his only loss coming by quick submission against current bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. This is a make or break fight for each fighter. A lacklustre performance won't help either. I expect fireworks. I also expect that to lead to a very quick fight. T.M. Prediction: Early KO. |
|||||||
07-24-21 | Tigers v. Royals -120 | Top | 8-9 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Royals (10* TRADE-MARK). The Tigers seven-game winning run came to an end in yesterday's 5-3 defeat here. The Royals are hungry for more victories and they're arguably playing their best ball of the season right now, as they enter on a three-game win skein. Look for that momentum to get carried over here. Casey Mize (5-5, 3.44 ERA) of the Tigers and Carlos Hernandez (1-1, 4.91) of the Royals are a wash as far as these starting pitchers are concerned. Detroit had been playing over its head over the last two weeks and a crash was inevitable. Expect that slide to continue here and for the starving home side to take advantage! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 KC. |
|||||||
07-23-21 | White Sox v. Brewers UNDER 7.5 | 1-7 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: White Sox/Brewers UNDER (8* MONEY-MAKER). A couple of stud pitchers here going head to here and I expect that to translate into a lower-scoring under. The ChiSox see Lucas Giolito (8-6, 3.90 ERA) toe the rubber; he is off a strong outing over Houston on Saturday, allowing one run and three hits over nine innings while also striking out eight (he's 4-1 with a 2.84 ERA in all night contests.) The Brewers hand the ball to Freddy Peralta (7-3, 2.39), who has a tiny 0.90 WHIP and 135/44 K/BB over 98 innings of work. Look for these two starters to steal the headlines in tomorrow's summaries of this contest; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 ChiSox. |
|||||||
07-23-21 | Nationals -129 v. Orioles | Top | 1-6 | Loss | -129 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nationals (10* TRADE-MARK). Washington's three-game win streak came to an end after a 3-1 loss at home to Miami two nights ago. I think the Nats bounce back here though in this favorable interleague matchup on Friday night. The visiting side hands the ball to Patrick Corbin (6-8, 5.66 ERA) and the home side sees Jorge Lopez(2-12, 6.04) take the hill. Clearly, these two guys have struggled this season. Washington though is 7-1 in its last eight after a home loss in which it was held to one or less runs in. I like the big bats of the Nationals to be the difference; lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Nationals. |
|||||||
07-22-21 | Cubs v. Cardinals -115 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cardinals (10* TRADE-MARK). St. Louis squeaked out a win yesterday, but I think it'll win much more handily in this favorable matchup on Thursday. The Cubs see Adbert Alzolay (4-9, 4.59 ERA) toe the rubber; he's 0-4 with a 5.84 ERA in five outing since coming off the injured list on June 21st. Kwang Hyun Kim (5-5, 2.87) enters playing his best ball of the year, as he hasn't given up a single run over his last 21 innings of work. Yes, regression is going to happen, and likely even going to happen here. But, I still say Kim can easily outduel his inconsistent counterpart at home. All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value!"Â T.M. Prediction: 6-3 St. Louis. |

07-22-21 | Rangers +1.5 v. Tigers | 5-7 | Loss | -158 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rangers +1.5 RUN-LINE (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Texas is hungry to break a seven game slide. This is the finale of a four-game series. Detroit won 14-0, 4-1, and then 4-2 yesterday. While I do think the outright is possible, in the end I'm going to lay the reasonable price for the extra 1.5 runs. Clearly, Mike Foltynewicz (2-9, 5.91 ERA), is nothing to write home about for the Rangers today. But neither is Tyler Alexander (1-1, 4.40) for the Tigers. In fact, Foltynewicz has better peripherals, including WHIP at 1.34, compared to 1.35 for Alexander. This one is going to be decided late, so I'm grabbing the 1.5 runs! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Texas. |

07-21-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers RUN LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). Logan Webb (4-3, 3.54 ERA) has been consistently inconsistent for the Giants of late. Overall the rookie is having a fine campaign, but I think he's in well over his head here against Julio Urias (12-3, 3.78) and the defending champs. Note as well that LA is 7-1 in its last eight after scoring eight or more runs in a home win in its last outing. Look for the Dodgers to lay the hammer down here; the play is the Dodgers on the run-line! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 LA. |
|||||||
07-21-21 | Mets -129 v. Reds | 7-0 | Win | 100 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mets (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Mets lost here yesterday, but I think that Marcus Stroman and the visiting side are the correct call on Wednesday. Stroman, while only 6-8, has a 2.78 ERA. His counterpart today is Jeff Hoffman (3-4, 4.61), who makes his first start since May. Stroman hasn't been pefect of late, but here's the golden opportunity he's been looking for to get back into the winners circle. This line is out of whack, I think Stroman should be favored by more here. The value swings to New York! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 New York. |
|||||||
07-20-21 | Suns +5 v. Bucks | Top | 98-105 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). If you're watching and wagering on Game 6, then you know the story lines and the cast of characters. You know the teams strengths and weaknesses. This is it for the Suns, who had the 2-0 lead early in this series. I say though that the Bucks finally have a letdown here. The more desperate team is going to win this contest and that's the Suns. Also note that Phoenix is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to revenge two or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row to an opponent. Grab the points, expect a nail-biter! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY |
|||||||
07-20-21 | Indians v. Astros UNDER 9 | 3-9 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Astros/Indians UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Cleveland went 2-1 at Oakland to open the second half, but it fell flat in yesterday's series opening 4-3 loss here at Oakland. The Tribe have seen the total go under in three straight and I expect that trend to continue here. Houston has seen the total go under in two straith, bouncing back from a 4-0 defeat to the White Sox in its previous outing. Triston McKenzie (1-3, 5.47 ERA) gets the nod for the visitors, and he comes in off a strong start in his final outing before the break, allowing one hit and striking out nine over seven scoreless against the Royals. He'll be opposed by Luis Garcia (6-5, 3.06), who gave up one run over five innings in a no-decision to the A's in his last start. Look for these two young starting hurlers to be the main focal point of tomorrow's summaries on this contest; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Astros. |
|||||||
07-20-21 | Phillies v. Yankees +119 | Top | 4-6 | Win | 119 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankees (10* TRADE-MARK). Aaron Nola (6-5, 4.53 ERA) and the Philadelphia Phillies both play much better at home. Nola is just 3-3 with a 5.42 ERA on the road this year. For arguments sakes, let's call him a "wash" here still with Domingo German (4-5, 4.72.) New York though is 8-3 in its last 11 interleague home games as an underdog in the +101 to +120 range. Look for the shift in venue to put a monkey-wrench into the Phillies recent momentum, while everything points to the Yanks building off their series win over the Red Sox this wekeend. Great value on the hungry home side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 New York. |
|||||||
07-19-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -132 | Top | 7-2 | Loss | -132 | 12 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). As good as Kevin Gausman (9-3, 1.73 ERA) has been for the Giants, I say that he and Tony Gonsolin (1-0, 2.13) are a "wash" here for all intents and purposes. And that means that the Giants, who enter having lost back-to-back games and scoring just one run in each, are getting too much respect. Note as well that LA is 7-2 in its last nine as a home favorite in the -120 to -135 range. Great value here on the Dodgers! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 LA. |
|||||||
07-19-21 | Rangers v. Tigers OVER 8.5 | 0-14 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rangers/Tigers OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Tigers are looking to build off their three-game sweep of the Twins. While two of those three went under the number, I think the opener of this one will soar well over. The Rangers are a desperate for a win here after losing 10-2 and 10-0 in Toronto over the weekend. Kirk Gibson (6-1, 2.29 ERA) has been a bright spot for Texas this year, but regression does seem imminent for the veteran. I expect that to occur here. Casey Mize (5-5, 3.59) has struggled with consistency this year. He's been decent, but I think he'll have his hands full with this determined Rangers' offense; this number is low the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Detroit. |
|||||||
07-18-21 | Padres v. Nationals -105 | 7-8 | Win | 100 | 22 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nationals (9* ELITE OF THE ELITE). The Nationals game was suspended yesterday in the sixth inning due to a shooting outside the Arean. Previous to tha tthe Padres won 24-8. They were winning 8-4 yesterday as well. But with Washington's ace on the mound, I think the home side will deliver on Sunday. Joe Musgrove (5-7, 2.93 ERA) gets the ball for the Padres, while Max Scherzer (7-4, 2.66) gets the call for the Nationals. I like Musgrove, but give me Scherzer here at home (he owns a tiny 0.88 WHIP as well.) After back-to-back humbling defeats, I like Washington find a way to get the job done in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Nationals. |
|||||||
07-18-21 | Rays v. Braves -105 | Top | 7-5 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta (10* TRADE-MARK). The Braves bounced back from a narrow 7-6 defeat in this series opener vs. the Rays to pound them 9-0 yesterday. Suffice it to say, I think the hungrier home side builds off that victory. Veteran starters Rich Hill of the Rays and Drew Smyly of the Braves here are a "wash" in my opinion. Note though that ATL is a sharp 7-1 in its last eight after a shutout home win over an opponent in which it scored seven or more runs in. All things considered, this is an unbelievable price; lay it, the play is the Braves! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Braves. |
|||||||
07-18-21 | Twins -125 v. Tigers | 0-7 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Twins (8* MONEY-MAKER). After sweeping the Tigers in four straight before the All Star break at home, the Twins have lost the first two games of this series in Detroit. Both came in a double-header yesterday, falling 1-0 in the opener and 5-4 in the second. Minnesota is interestingly 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge two straight losses to an opponent. JA Happ (5-4, 5.90 ERA) comes in off his best start of the year just before the break, allowing three runs and striking out eight over seven innings in a victory over these very Tigers. It was his second quality start in his last three tries and I say the extra time off between starts will only help the veteran. Wily Peralta (2-1, 2.08) has been good over 26 innings of work, but I say regression is in order here, as he's simply in the wrong place at th ewrong time. Lay it, the play is Minnesota! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. |
|||||||
07-17-21 | Astros v. White Sox -106 | Top | 1-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox (10* TRADE-MARK). Houston has the most prolific offense in the majors, but the White Sox aren't far behind sitting in fourth. Chicago lost 7-1 last night, which snapped a five-game win streak it was on heading into the break. The Astros have been amazing, but I think that Lucas Giolito is the correct call at home here over Jake Odorizzi. The Astros veteran has been superb over the last month, but the All Star break is going to throw a proverbial monkey-wrench into his rythym in my opinion. Look for the hungry home side to bounce back in this revenge spot! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 White Sox. |
|||||||
07-16-21 | Rays v. Braves -124 | 7-6 | Loss | -124 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Braves (8* MONEY-MAKER). Michael Wacha (2-2, 4.87 ERA) has been decent, not great for the Rays this year. Tampa is putting together another strong season, as it enters the second half with a 53-37 record, but I think that the correct call is on the 44-45 Braves, who have considerable ground to make up in the second half, and who will have to do it without the services of slugger Ronald Acuna Jr., who tore his ACL. Charlie Morton (8-3, 3.64) has been great this year after a slow start for the Braves, as he has a 114:33 K/BB over 99 frames of work. He most recently went seven scoreless in a win over the Marlins (8 K's.) Lay the short price on the much hungrier home side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Atlanta. |
|||||||
07-16-21 | Rangers v. Blue Jays -1.5 | Top | 2-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays RUN LINE (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I don't follow any one single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with one's approach is the best way to secure profit over the longterm. Sometimes I completely dissect a contest and look at every tiny angle and stat I can get my hands on, but other times I use the "KISS" approach. Keep it simple stupid. This one here I'm giving the good old "eye test" and in my opinion, the massive talent discrepancy on the mound tonight absolutely justifies in laying the 1.5 runs for the near pick-em price. Jordan Lyles (5-5, 4.86 ERA) has been decent this year for Texas, but I think he'll struggle against this hard-hitting Jays line-up that's poised for a big second-half. Robbie Ray (7-4, 3.13) has a 1.05 WHIP and 130:24 K/BB over 100.2 innings for the Jays, and he just struck out 11 over seven shutouting inings in a win over the Rays in his last outing. This one has blowout written all over it; lay the 1.5 runs, the play is the Jays on the run-line! T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Toronto. |
|||||||
07-14-21 | Suns v. Bucks UNDER 220.5 | Top | 103-109 | Win | 100 | 37 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Bucks UNDER FIRST HALF (10* FINALS FIRST HALF TOTAL OF YEAR). Instead of playing the full game under, I'm targetting the first half. Game's 1 and 2 both flew over the number, but Game 3 finally went under. The first half total went over the number though in Game 2, but in my opinion, Game 4 definitely sets up as more of a defensive affair. Phoenix had its way in Game 1 against a tired and injured Bucks team, but the reason the Suns are in the Finals this season is because of their improved defensive play. Milwaukee will be once again out to control the tempo of this one and in my opinion, this contest from a situational stand point, absolutely sets up as a defensive affair. Look for that to pay IMMEDIATE dividends though. This first half total is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
07-11-21 | Suns +4 v. Bucks | Top | 100-120 | Loss | -101 | 35 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I really respect Giannis Antetokounmpo, but his supporting cast has been a "no show" so far in the Finals and I expect that to continue here. Chris Paul, Devin Booker and De'Andre Ayton are impossible to slow down right now, but the difference is that their bench and role players are producing. Keep your eyes on Mikal Bridges, who had 27 points in Game 2 for the Suns. Phoenix is 6-1 ATS in its last seven on the road and while the outright win is possible in my opinion, let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
07-11-21 | Suns v. Bucks UNDER 222 | 100-120 | Win | 100 | 35 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Bucks UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). No need to overthink this one. The first two games of this series went over the number, but with their backs against the wall, the Bucks are going to have to play with an added sense of urgency on the defensive end. There's just no way that Milwaukee can let the Suns dictate the flow of this one. The home side is going to have defensive pressure from start to finish, both half and full court. This is the highest total so far in this series, but now just a little too high; everything points to a defensive under in Game 3! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
07-11-21 | Blue Jays -116 v. Rays | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* FIRST HALF BEST OF THE BEST). I like Robbie Ray and the Blue Jays to bounce back here in this final contest before the All Star break. The Jays haven't been playing their best, but after dropping the first two games of this series, I expect them to get back on track here. The home side counters with Rich Hill. These starters have similar numbers. Ray is 6-4 with a 3.36 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, while Hill is 6-3 with a 3.65 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. They're a wash for all intents and purposes. Toronto though is a near-perfect 7-1 in its last eight in trying to avenge back-to-back road losses to an opponent; lay it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
