06-16-21 | Clippers v. Jazz -2.5 | Top | 119-111 | Loss | -112 | 13 h 53 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* CLIPPERS @ JAZZ NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The LA Clippers tied the series with a couple of wins at home, but they've yet to win at Utah. Clippers' star Kawhi Leonard is expected to miss Game 5 against the Jazz tonight with a knee injury suffered in game 4. I expect to see an extremely fired up Utah team here after a couple of blowout losses on the road. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |

06-16-21 | Marlins -113 v. Cardinals | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY I really like the price we get on the Miami Marlins in this early Wednesday afternoon matchup at St. Louis. Marlins' righty Sandy Alcantara (4-5, 3.39 ERA) has posted a 2.45 ERA in two career starts against the Cardinals, and he has posted a 2.38 ERA away from home in 2021. St. Louis hands the ball to Johan Oviedo (0-2, 5.72 ERA) who has posted a 6.85 ERA in six starts this season. Sure, the Cards are 5-0 against Miami this season, but note that Alcantara struck out 10 through six innings against them back in April. I think Alcantara will lead the Fish to a win in this one. 10* play on Miami Marlins. |

06-14-21 | 76ers -3 v. Hawks | Top | 100-103 | Loss | -114 | 15 h 11 m | Show |
SIXERS @ HAWKS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Philadelphia 76ers dropped the opener of this second-round series against the Hawks, but they've bounced back with a pair of convincing triumphs, including a 127-111 win here at State Farm Arena on Friday. The 76ers are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite, and I doubt homecourt will be of much help for Atlanta in this one. Philadelphia star Joel Embiid is listed as questionable, but that's been the case for pretty much every game and there's no way they sit him for this one. "I'm OK," Embiid said. "I'm standing up, I'm walking. I finished the game. I'm going to keep getting back up. I'm going to keep fighting. That's been me since I started playing basketball, so I'm going to keep fighting. That's been my motto. Whatever happens, get back up and keep it going." The Hawks caught the Sixers off guard in Game 1, but that's not happening again. With Brooklyn and Milwaukee mired in what's guaranteed to be at least a six-game series, I expect the Sixers to want to close this one out ASAP to give themselves as big of a rest advantage as possible for the Eastern Conference Finals. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |
|||||||
06-13-21 | Suns -3 v. Nuggets | Top | 125-118 | Win | 100 | 20 h 48 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* SUNS @ NUGGETS GAME 4 NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Each of the first three games of this series has ended with lopsided scores favoring Phoenix. I like the Suns to close out the series ASAP in order to give themselves maximum time to rest and heal up for a Western Conference Finals series against either the Clippers or the Jazz. Without Jamal Murray, the Nuggets' backcourt is at a significant disadvantage to the Suns' backcourt duo of Paul and Devin Booker. Nuggets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. Suns are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
|||||||
06-13-21 | Yankees v. Phillies UNDER 8.5 | Top | 0-7 | Win | 100 | 1 h 25 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like it should be a low-scoring affair with Domingo German (4-3, 3.12 ERA) and Aaron Nola (4-4, 4.06 ERA) on the mound. German has allowed three or fewer runs in each of his last nine starts, including 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball against Boston last time out. Nola's last two outings have not been great, but he has posted a solid 3.03 ERA in six home starts and a 2.10 ERA in four day starts. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
06-12-21 | Rangers v. Dodgers UNDER 7.5 | Top | 12-1 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 9 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT RANGERS @ DODGERS MLB BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Texas Rangers have lost eight of their last 10 games, and they've put up 10 runs over their last five games. Runs are likely to come a premium for the Rangers again in Saturday's matchup with the Dodgers and right-hander Trevor Bauer (6-4, 2.40 ERA) who has posted a 1.69 ERA in four home starts on the year. Texas hands the ball to left-hander Kolby Allard (1-2, 3.41 ERA). Under is 5-1 in Dodgers last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter. 10* play on UNDER. |

06-11-21 | 76ers -118 v. Hawks | Top | 127-111 | Win | 100 | 20 h 28 m | Show |
NBA EAST GAME OF THE WEEK | SIXERS @ HAWKS MAJOR WAGER The Atlanta Hawks won the opener of this Eastern Conference semifinal series, but the Sixers roared back with a comfortable wire-to-wire 118-102 win in Game 2. I like Philly to take back homecourt advantage right away here when the series moves to Atlanta. The Hawks caught the 76ers off guard in Game 1, but I don't see it happening again. The 76ers have are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games as a road favorite and they've covered the spread with ease in three of the last four meetings with the Hawks. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |
|||||||
06-11-21 | White Sox -1.5 v. Tigers | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -103 | 19 h 25 m | Show |
AL EAST GAME OF THE YEAR | TOP-RATED 10* MLB MAJOR WAGER The Chicago White Sox have won five of their last seven, including three of four against the Tigers last week. The lone loss in that series came against Detroit left-hander Tarik Skubal (3-7, 4.33 ERA) who held the White Sox to one run on four hits through five innings. That was a rare loss against a left-handed starter for the White Sox who are 14-4 against southpaws on the season and I expect them to rough up the Tigers lefty tonight. Right-hander Lucas Giolito (5-5, 3.88 ERA) will take the ball for Chicago. He had allowed one run in three straight starts before getting tagged with all four runs in the 4-3 loss to Detroit and Skubal last week. All things considered, I expect to see a motivated White Sox lineup and a strong outing from Giolito, making this well worthy of a Game of the Year tag! 10* play on Chicago White Sox -1.5. |

06-10-21 | Clippers v. Jazz -3 | Top | 111-117 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
NBA WEST GAME OF THE WEEK | CLIPPERS @ JAZZ GAME 2 MAJOR WAGER The Utah Jazz won the opener of this second-round playoffs series by three points, the exact point-spread the books are hanging for Game 2. The Jazz managed to get the win despite a slow start and not playing all the well overall, and their bench contributed with only 23 points, of which Jordan Clarkson had 18. I expect a much faster start and better performance from the Jazz tonight as they look to consolidate their homecourt advantage before the series move to LA. Jazz are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Clippers are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |
|||||||
06-08-21 | Hawks v. 76ers -5 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 14 h 48 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* HAWKS @ SIXERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Atlanta Hawks came flying out of the gate in Game 1. The final result of 128-124 for the Hawks is misleading as they held a double-digit lead for most of the game, but the fact that Philly came back and made it as close as they did is a sign of things to come IMO. I fully expect the Sixers to be on their toes from the get-go in this one and put a real beating on the Hawks to to tie the score. Hawks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. 76ers are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss. 76ers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |
|||||||
06-07-21 | Nuggets v. Suns -4.5 | Top | 105-122 | Win | 100 | 16 h 7 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NUGGETS @ SUNS GAME 1 NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns closed out their first-round series against the reigning NBA champs LA Lakers with a dominant performance in a game they led from start to finish. Now they'll take on a Denver team that has had some time to heal up from a tough six-game series against the Blazers, but I don't think the Nuggets can match the intensity of the home team here in the opener of this series. Note that the Nuggets are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 3 or more days rest while the Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 playoff games as a favorite. Denver won the last two regular season meetings here at Suns Arena, but those games took place back in January. and the Suns are playing at a different level now. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
|||||||
06-07-21 | Royals v. Angels OVER 9 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 101 | 12 h 26 m | Show |
ROYALS @ ANGELS MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Angels are 15-5 to the over as home favorites on the season and tonight's Angels' starter Dylan Bundy has an ugly 6.49 ERA in 2021. Royals' righty Jackson Kowar will make his first MLB start ever, and this could easily go south early against a Halos' team that is averaging 5.77 runs per nine innings home in Anaheim. Over is 7-1-2 in Royals last 10 overall. Over is 3-0-1 in Royals last 4 games as a road underdog. 10* play on OVER. |

06-06-21 | Avalanche +101 v. Golden Knights | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 55 m | Show |
NHL GAME OF THE WEEK | AVS @ KNIGHTS TOP-RATED MAJOR WAGER The Colorado Avalanche were just minutes away from taking a 3-0 lead in the series on Friday before giving up two goals in less than a minute. It was the Avs' first postseason loss of the year, and Colorado coach Jared Bednar called out his team after the loss. "The easy answer is this: for five straight periods now they've been far more competitive than we have," Bednar said when asked what needs to change. "And to dissect the game any further than that is a waste of time. It's a waste of time." "I think we're kidding ourselves if we think that that's the competitiveness we need to be at, (against) the team that tied us for first in the league. We caught them on an off night in Game 1 and we gave them life in Game 2. We were able to come away with a win because of special teams and our goalie. And we're going to need to compete way harder than that in order to beat them." A coach calling out his team in media usually has an effect, and I think we'll see a reaction from the Avs who still hold a 2-1 lead in the series, despite not playing at their best yet. 10* play on Colorado Avalanche. |
|||||||
06-06-21 | Cubs v. Giants +102 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 10 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY I think we're getting a very reasonable price on the San Francisco Giants to complete the sweep of this four-game series with Johnny Cueto (4-1, 3.45 ERA) on the mound. Note that Cueto is 3-1 with a 2.59 ERA in four home starts on the season while Cubs' righty Kyle Hendricks has posted a 4.26 ERA in four road starts. Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 during game 4 of a series. Giants are 13-3 in their last 16 games vs. a right-handed starter. Cubs are 2-6 in their last 8 Sunday games. Cubs are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings in San Francisco. 10* play on San Francisco Giants. |
|||||||
06-06-21 | Hawks v. 76ers -2.5 | Top | 128-124 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 37 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK | HAWKS @ 76ERS GAME 1 *BEST BET* The Atlanta Hawks are coming off an impressive first-round series against the Knicks, but they'll face a much tougher test here in the second round. Sure, injured Joel Embiid will be a huge miss for the Sixers, but they have good depth and other players that can step up. I have Philadelphia as the better team on both ends of the floor even without Embiid. Hawks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. 76ers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Hawks are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Philadelphia. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |
|||||||
06-05-21 | Bucks v. Nets -3.5 | Top | 107-115 | Win | 100 | 17 h 49 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK | BUCKS @ NETS EASTERN CONF *BEST BET* We have only one NBA game tipping off on Saturday, but what a game it is with the Milwaukee Bucks visiting the Brooklyn Nets for Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semi-finals series. The Bucks are undefeated in the playoffs following a four-game sweep of last year's NBA finalists Miami, but this was a very different Heat team. Note that the Bucks are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog while the Nets are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games as a favorite and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite. Sure, the Nets dropped a game against Boston in their first-round series, but they dominated the other four. While Milwaukee won two of three regular season meetings, note that one member of Brooklyn's star trio (Durant, Harden and Irving) sat out in those games. Now they're all fit, and I don't see the Bucks keeping up with the scoring. 10* play on Brooklyn Nets. |
|||||||
06-05-21 | Cubs v. Giants UNDER 7.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MLB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Chicago Cubs are 30-23-4 to the under on the season. Right-hander Kohl Stewart (1-0, 0.00 ERA) will be making his second start of the season. He allowed only one run (no earned) through five innings against the Padres in his season opener. The San Francisco Giants counter with Kevin Gausman (6-0, 1.40 ERA) who is having an extraordinary year with 11 runs allowed on 41 hits over 70 2/3 innings and an 83/16 K/BB ratio. Regression is surely coming for the right-hander, but not against the Cubs who have been hitting leftie a lot harder than righties. 10* play on UNDER. |

06-03-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -5 | Top | 126-115 | Loss | -103 | 14 h 49 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NUGGETS @ BLAZERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Denver Nuggets are in pull position as they have a chance to close out the series and advance to the second round of the NBA playoffs. I don't think the Portland Trail Blazers are ready to give up just yet though. The Blazers showed amazing grit last time out as they battled back from an early 22-point hole, and the game needed not only one but two overtime periods to decide a winner. The Nuggets eventually came though as a home favorite, but note that they're 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Trail Blazers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. I fully expect the do-or-die Blazers to take this one and force a Game 7. 10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. |

06-03-21 | Rangers v. Rockies -123 | Top | 6-11 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* RANGERS @ ROCKIES MLB PLAY OF THE DAY The Texas Rangers are 9-22 away from home on the season while the Colorado Rockies are 18-12 home at Coors Field. Rangers' righty Mike Foltynewicz (1-5, 4.31 ERA) is not having a good year, and the team has lost four of his last five starts. Rockies' left-hander Austin Gomber (3-5, 4.55 ERA) has a similar overall ERA as Foltynewicz, but note that Gomber has posted an impressive 1.88 ERA home at Coors. Texas is averaging only 3.85 runs per nine innings against left-handers while the Rockies are scoring 5.85 runs per innings at home against righties. 10* play on Colorado Rockies. |
|||||||
06-02-21 | Mavs v. Clippers -7 | Top | 105-100 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MAVS @ CLIPPERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Either team has yet to win a home game in this series, with the Dallas Mavericks taking two here at Staples Center followed by the Los Angeles Clippers recording back-to-back blowout wins at Dallas. Perhaps the Clippers underestimated Dallas in the first two games, but they've clicked into gear since and I highly doubt they'll take the Mavs lightly again. Additionally, note that Mavs' superstar Luka Doncic was clearly laboring through a neck strain in the Game 4 loss, and he's unlikely to be at full strength on this short turnaround. I don't see the Mavs standing much of a chance in this one. Clippers by double-digits. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
06-02-21 | Padres +113 v. Cubs | Top | 1-6 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 20 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY ~ PADRES @ CUBS Good spot to back the San Diego Padres to bounce back from a couple of losses to the Chicago Cubs and avoid a three-game sweep. Padres' righty Dinelson Lamet (1-0, 2.57 ERA) will serve as the team's opener, and he is having a great year. He has made six appearances in total with four starts, and the team has won each of his last two starts. He has made one start as underdog, at Houston on May 28, a game the Padres won 10-3. The Cubs will hand the ball to Adbert Alzolay (3-4, 3.81 ERA) for his 10th start of the year. While Alzolay has been solid, I think the fired up Friars will get to him and this is a potential letdown spot for Alzolay who is coming off his best start of the season. 10* play on San Diego Padres. |
|||||||
06-01-21 | Blazers +1.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 140-147 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 55 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BLAZERS @ NUGGETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Portland Trail Blazers and the Denver Nuggets are heading into Game 5 tied at two wins apiece, effectively turning this into a best-of-three series. The winner of tonight's game will have a huge advantage, and I think that team will be the Blazers. The Blazers came through with a 115-95 win last time out (despite Dame Lillard scoring only 10 points), and they've already proven they can win at Denver after taking the opener of this first-round series. I like them to steal another game on the road on Tuesday The Nuggets lack an answer to the Blazers backcourt, and the Nuggets don't pose much a danger if Jusuf Nurkic can keep Denver big man Nikola Jokic quiet. Trail Blazers are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Trail Blazers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. 10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. |

06-01-21 | Lightning v. Hurricanes -109 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
NHL GAME OF THE WEEK | LIGHTNING @ CANES GAME 2 *BEST BET* The Carolina Hurricanes are 23-4-5 home at PNC Arena on the season. The Tampa Bay Lightning won the opener of this series 2-1 here on Sunday, but I expect a big bounce back from the Canes who are 8-2 in their last 10 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game and 24-8 in their last 32 playoff games as a favorite. Lightning netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy had a huge game and made 37 saves, but the Canes should crack him if they just keep firing. 10* play on Carolina Hurricanes. |
|||||||
05-31-21 | Jazz -5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 120-113 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH | JAZZ @ GRIZZLIES NBA WEST *BEST BET* The Utah Jazz have bounced back with a couple of impressive outings since losing the opener of this first-round series in the NBA playoffs. They're clearly the better team and just have to bring the right focus, which I don't think will be an issue here as they look to set up a chance to move on to the next round home at Vivint Arena on Wednesday. Sure, the Grizzlies will be fighting tooth and nail, but the talent gap is too wide to overcome and there's no way the Jazz will underestimate this Memphis team again after dropping Game 1. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |

05-30-21 | Nets -7 v. Celtics | Top | 141-126 | Win | 100 | 16 h 20 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Brooklyn Nets had won seven consecutive games straight up and against the spread prior to a 125-119 loss to Boston on Friday. They holding a 2-1 lead in the series, and I expect a big outing from the Nets to set up a chance to clinch the series at home next up. Celtics' superstar Jayson Tatum carried the team with a 50 point outing after managing just 31 points in the first two games combined. Well, I think he's in for a tough game here. Nets are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite. Celtics are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. Celtics are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Nets are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on Brooklyn Nets. |

05-30-21 | Giants v. Dodgers UNDER 7.5 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -120 | 15 h 46 m | Show |
MLB GAME OF THE WEEK | NL WEST *BEST TOTAL* The last two games of this series have seen a total of 30 runs scored. I expect a completely different game in the finale on Sunday. Dodgers' left-hander Clayton Kershaw (7-3, 2.94 ERA) is having a solid year as per usual, and he is coming off a season-high 7 2/3 innings of one-run ball in a win over Houston on Tuesday. Kerhaw has posted a career ERA of 1.79 against the Giants. Kevin Gausman (5-0, 1.53 ERA) takes the ball for San Francisco. He has allowed a total of four runs through his last seven starts and posted a 3.00 ERA in three outings (two starts) against the Dodgers last season. 10* play on UNDER. |

05-29-21 | Braves v. Mets UNDER 6.5 | Top | 2-13 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MLB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The oddsmakers have posted an exceptionally low total for this game, but I still like the under. Note that the over/under is 17-26 across the Major Leagues this season and 1-8 in games involving the New York Mets. Both starting pitchers for tonight, Ian Anderson (4-1, 2.28 ERA) and Tajiuan Walker (3-1, 2.05 ERA), have been great. 10* play on UNDER. |

05-29-21 | Bucks -4.5 v. Heat | Top | 120-103 | Win | 100 | 12 h 13 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH | BUCKS @ HEAT NBA EAST *BEST BET* The Milwaukee Bucks will be looking to complete the sweep of this first-round playoff series on Saturday. The Miami Heat gave the Bucks a scare in Game 1, but the last two have ended in blowout wins for the Bucks and I think that's what will happen once again in this game. The Heat are struggling to create easy looks and to knock down shots when they do. And they know it. "Our rhythm is off," Heat guard Goran Dragic said. "It's way off. We lose our confidence." The Bucks are the better and hotter team, and I don't see them taking the foot off the gas, especially as they were eliminated by the Heat last year. 10* play on the Milwaukee Bucks. |

05-28-21 | Clippers -2 v. Mavs | Top | 118-108 | Win | 100 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
CLIPPERS @ MAVS FRIDAY NIGHT NBA *BEST BET* We should see a big reaction from the Los Angeles Clippers who have their backs against the wall after dropping the first two games of the series home at Staples Center. The Clippers are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Dallas and surely they've not given up on the hopes of turning this series around. The Mavs have played well, but a sweep is unlikely and this is a game the Clippers really, really need. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY ~ NUGGETS @ BLAZERS The Portland Trail Blazers stole homecourt advantage by winning Game 1 of this series at Mile High. The desperate Nuggets were the better team in Game 2, but I expect a strong effort from the Blazers here in their first home game of the playoffs. Nuggets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Trail Blazers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. Trail Blazers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. |

TOP-RATED 10* MLB NATIONAL LEAGUE PLAY OF THE DAY The San Diego Padres are red hot, having won 14 of their last 16 games including back-to-back triumphs in Milwaukee after dropping the series-opener on Monday. Friars' left-hander Ryan Weathers (2-1, 1.48 ERA) has allowed only 19 hits and five runs over 30 1/3 innings of work on the season. Sure, Weathers does not log a ton of innings in his starts, but note that the Padres' bullpen has posted an MLB best 2.42 ERA on the season. As for the Brew Crew, they've lost five of their last eight games and right-hander Adrian Houser (3-5, 4.53 ERA) has allowed eight runs on seven hits and nine walks in just seven innings over his last two starts. 10* play on San Diego Padres. |

MLB GAME OF THE MONTH ~ TOP-RATED AL VS NL MAJOR WAGER The Los Angeles Dodgers have won eight in a row after opening this series with a 9-2 win on Tuesday. Tonight they hand the ball to reigning NL CY Young Award winner Trevor Bauer (5-2, 1.98 ERA) who owns the Astros. Note that Bauer has a perfect 9-0 team record as a starter against Houston. The Astros have dropped four consecutive games. 10* play on Los Angeles Dodgers. |

TOP-RATED 10* HAWKS @ KNICKS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY This is pretty much a "must-win" spot for the New York Knicks after losing the first game of the series. Leaving the Garden in a 2-0 hole would be disastrous, and I expect to see a hungry Knicks team tie the series. Note that despite a 107-105 win a couple of nights ago, the Hawks are still only 1-6-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. 10* play on New York Knicks. |

TOP-RATED 10* MAVS @ CLIPPERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Dallas Mavericks delivered a 10-point upset in Game 1 of this first-round series, but I don't see the Clippers dropping two in a row at home. The Clippers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home and the Mavs are despite the win last time out still only 5-11 ATS in their last 16 playoff games as an underdog. The Mavs have at least temporarily stolen homecourt advantage. With that in mind, I expect the Clippers to be the much hungrier team and dominate this game. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |

TOP-RATED 10* HEAT @ BUCKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Miami Heat gave the Bucks a scare in Game of this first-round playoff series, forcing overtime to eventually lose to a buzzer-beater from Khris Middleton. The Heat are matching up well with Milwaukee. They knocked out the Bucks on their way to the NBA finals last year and have covered the spread in four of the last five meetings at Fiserv Forum. 10* play on Miami Heat. |

05-24-21 | Islanders v. Penguins -135 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MONDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE This is a very huge game in the series as the winner will take a 3-2 lead and put their opponent in a do-or-die spot next game. Home ice has meant little so far with each team winning one game in enemy territory, but I think that's about to change. Historically, home ice has indeed mattered with the home team 5-2 in the last seven meetings and the Pens have won 36 of the last 51 games when hosting the Isles. Additionally, the Pens have won eight of the last 11 head-to-head meetings overall. 10* play on Pittsburgh Penguins. |

05-23-21 | Hawks +1.5 v. Knicks | Top | 107-105 | Win | 100 | 17 h 18 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK ~ HAWKS @ KNICKS TOP PLAY The New York Knicks are back in the playoffs for the first time in several years. They've had an impressive year, but this looks like a tough first-round matchup with the Atlanta Hawks who are entering the playoffs as winners of seven of their last eight games. The Knickerbockers are one of the best defensive sides in the league, but it will be tough to slow down a Hawks team that has nine players averaging in double figures. Knicks are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 playoff games as a favorite and I expect the Hawks to steal this one outright. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. |

05-23-21 | Diamondbacks v. Rockies -140 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 3 m | Show |
MLB 3-PACK - TOP PLAY - ROCKIES This looks like a more than affordable price on Colorado to complete the sweep of this three-game series. The Rockies bats have come alive as they've scored seven runs in back-to-back wins against the D'Backs, and Rockies's starting pitcher Jon Gray (4-4, 3.48 ERA) is 4-1 with a 2.00 ERA in six starts home at Coors Field on the season. Arizona right-hander Taylor Widener (1-1, 3.61 ERA) was tagged with four runs in 5 1/3 innings at Cincinnati in his last start. 10* play on Colorado Rockies. |

TOP-RATED 10* MAVS @ CLIPPERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The fifth-seeded Dallas Mavericks will visit the fourth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers in their Western Conference playoff opener on Saturday. The no. 4 seed vs. no. 5 seed might look like it should be a cloae matchup, but I think the Clippers will run away with this game. The Clipppers are healthy, well-rested (20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 games playing on 3 or more days rest) and took out Dallas in the first round of the playoffs last year. Look for Clippers to get it done. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |

05-22-21 | Twins v. Indians UNDER 7.5 | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 38 m | Show |
MLB GAME OF THE WEEK | TOP-RATED AL TOTAL MAJOR WAGER This game should be a low-scoring affair. The Cleveland Indians' bats have been cold during a 2-5 stretch and they were shut out by the Twins on Friday. Twins righty Kenta Maeda (2-2, 5.26 ERA) has not had a great year, but surely he can keep the Tribe under control. Under is 5-1 in Indians last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter. As for Cleveland starter Shane Bieber (4-3, 3.17 ERA), the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner needs no further introduction, and note that Bieber posted a 2.14 ERA in three starts against the Twins last year. Under is 46-22-4 in the last 72 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

05-21-21 | Grizzlies v. Warriors -4.5 | Top | 117-112 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 0 m | Show |
GRIZZLIES @ WARRIORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Golden State Warriors have won six of their last seven and gave the Los Angeles Lakers a scare in a loss on Wednesday. They get a second chance at making the playoffs with a win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, and this time I think they'll convert. The Warriors have covered the spread in seven straight games and nine of their last 10. They're on a perfect 5-0 ATS run as a favorite and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. The Memphis Grizzlies defeated San Antonio to advance to this matchup with the Warriors, but Grizzlies have covered the spread in only one of their last six and they are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win. These two teams battled it out here at Chase Center less than a week ago, a game the Warriors won 113-101. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. |

05-21-21 | Rays -140 v. Blue Jays | Top | 9-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY The Tampa Bay Rays put a 10-1 beating on Baltimore on Thursday while the Toronto Blue Jays lost to the Red Sox after blowing a two-run lead heading into the ninth inning. The Rays have now won seven in a row and scored seven or more runs in all but one game during that stretch. Here they'll get to tee of versus left-hander Anthony Kay (0-2, 7.24 ERA), and we can note that the Rays are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter. Right-hander Tyler Glasnow (4-2, 2.35 ERA) will take the ball for the Rays, looking to build on a hot start to the year. In his last start, Glasgow fanned 10 through eight innings of two-run ball against the Mets. 10* play on Tampa Bay Rays. |

TOP-RATED 10* PACERS @ WIZARDS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Washington Wizards took a 118-100 play-in loss to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. They get another chance to make it to the playoffs here against an Indiana team that made light work of Charlotte in their first play-in contest. The Wizards won each of the three regular-season meetings with the Pacers, and they're a lot healthier. Wizards are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Wizards are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite. Pacers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Washington Wizards. |

05-18-21 | Wizards +2 v. Celtics | Top | 100-118 | Loss | -101 | 22 h 47 m | Show |
WIZARDS @ CELTICS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Boston Celtics won two of three regular season meetings with the Wizards, but they were stumbling over the finishing line of the regular season dropping five of their last six and nine of their last 13. They've lost standout guard Jaylen Brown (wrist) for the rest of the season, and I don't see the Celtics having the firepower to keep up with Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook. Wizards are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Wizards are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 road games. Celtics are 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Celtics are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Washington Wizards. |

05-18-21 | Nationals -110 v. Cubs | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 27 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NATIONALS @ CUBS MLB PLAY OF THE DAY I think we're getting a great price backing the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field Tuesday night. Nats left-hander Patrick Corbin (2-3, 6.19 ERA) had a really poor start to the year, but he's found his groove and allowed only six runs on 13 hits through 20 innings over three starts this month. Corbin is 5-2 with a 3.80 ERA in seven starts against the Cubs. Cubs righty Zach Davies (2-2, 5.60 ERA) has also had a solid month, but he's not receiving much run support. Through Davies' last three starts, the Cubs have scored a grand total of only seven runs. 10* play on Washington Nationals. |

05-18-21 | Islanders v. Penguins -130 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
NHL EAST DIV PLAYOFFS GAME OF THE YEAR | MAJOR WAGER ALERT The New York Islanders won the opener of this first-round Eastern Conference playoff series by a score of 4-3 in overtime on Sunday. I don't see them winning two times in a row at PPG Paints Arena where the Pens are 22-4-3 on the season. Penguins are 40-14 in their last 54 games as a home favorite. Islanders are 3-8 in their last 11 road games. Islanders are 2-5 in their last 7 games following a win. Islanders are 2-6 in the last 8 meetings. Home team is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. This is simply an amazing price on the Pens off a loss on home ice in virtually a "must-win" spot. 10* play on Pittsburgh Penguins. |

05-17-21 | White Sox -104 v. Twins | Top | 16-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 16 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY The Minnesota Twins have won only two of their last 10 games. Veteran left-hander J.A. Happ (2-1, 4.26 ERA) surrendered a season-high nine earned runs in 3 ⅓ innings of work in a 13-8 loss to the White Sox in his last start. The White Sox are hitting .288 against southpaws on the season and they are 23-2 against left-handed starters since the start of last season. Dallas Keuchel (2-1, 4.53 ERA) will take the ball for the White Sox. While he gave up six runs in 5 2/3 innings when opposing Happ in his last start, I doubt the Twins will get to him tonight. Note that two of Keuchel's last four starts have been of the scoreless variety. 10* play on Chicago White Sox. |

05-17-21 | Bruins -127 v. Capitals | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BRUINS @ CAPITALS NHL BOOKIE BU$TER The Washington Capitals won the opener of this first-round Eastern Conference playoff series in OT on Saturday night. I like the Boston Bruins to bounce back and tie the series. Caps' starting goalie Vitek Vanecek suffered a "lower-body injury last time out, and 40-year old backup Craig Anderson who played in just four regular-season games will replace him. I think the Bruins will put Anderson to the test early and often, and I just don't see the Bruins losing two in a row. Bruins are 9-2 in their last 11 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. Bruins are 12-5 in their last 17 games as a favorite. Capitals are 3-7 in their last 10 playoff games as an underdog. 10* play on Boston Bruins. |

05-16-21 | Cardinals +115 v. Padres | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 37 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* CARDINALS @ PADRES PRIMETIME MLB PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to back the St. Louis Cardinals to bounce back after producing only six hits in a 13-3 loss to the San Diego Padres on Saturday. While Friar's left-hander Ryan Weathers (2-1, 0.81 ERA) has had a terrific start to the year, note that only a couple of his outings were as a starter. The Cards are hitting .267 against southpaws. Left-hander Kwang-hyun Kim (1-0, 2.74 ERA) will take the ball for St. Louis. He has allowed one run in four straight starts and the team has won each of his five starts on the season. The Padres are hitting .211 against left-handers. All in all, this is a great price on a road dog with a chip on its shoulder after being humiliated last time out. 10* play on St. Louis Cardinals. |

05-15-21 | Bruins -123 v. Capitals | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -123 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BRUINS @ CAPITALS NHL GAME OF THE WEEK The Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals split eight games during the regular season, but I'm giving the Bruins the edge here in the first game of their Stanley Cup playoff opening-round series. Taylor Hall has been excellent since joining the Bruins, and the Caps have injury concerns. Bruins are 12-4 in their last 16 games as a favorite. Capitals are 2-7 in their last 9 playoff games as an underdog. Favorite is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. 10* play on Boston Bruins. |

05-15-21 | Hornets v. Knicks UNDER 211.5 | Top | 109-118 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 16 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY HORNETS @ KNICKS NBA TOP PLAY | 1:10 ET START The New York Knicks have clinched a playoff berth, but they're battling Miami for the No. 5 or No. 6 seed. The Knicks have played great defense all season long, and the last three games have been no different allowing 100, 101 and 98 points, despite the middle game going to OT. The Charlotte Hornets are fighting Indiana and Washington for eighth place in the conference. While the Hornets won't lack motivation, I think they'll struggle to get open looks against this Knicks team. The last meeting (on April 20th) finished with a 109-97 Knicks win. I think we'll see a very similar amount of points today. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Reds v. Rockies UNDER 10.5 | Top | 6-9 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 29 m | Show |
MLB GAME OF THE WEEK | TOP-RATED REDS @ ROCKIES TOTAL The Colorado Rockies and the Cincinnati Reds combined for 21 runs in the opener of this four-game series on Thursday. The total for that game closed at 11.5, but we're still seeing a lower total for tonight's game. I trust the oddsmakers and expect the bats to be a lot colder here in Game 2. Colorado right-hander German Marquez (1-4, 5.49 ERA) has a rather bloater earned run average, but it's mostly down to two subpar outings. In his last start, Marquez held the Cardinals to two runs through six innings of a 2-0 Rockies win. The Reds counter with left-hander Wade Miley (4-2, 2.00 ERA) who is coming off a no hitter at Cleveland. Miley has posted a 0.9 ERA while allowing only seven hits in three road starts covering 20 innings on the season. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Philadelphia 76ers have put up only 94 points in each of their last two games, but also allowed only 103 and 106 points. They're likely to keep the tempo slow here as they'll be playing on no rest, and the visting Orlando Magic are averaging a lowly 103.9 ppg on the season and they've been held to fewer than 100 points in three of their last five games. 10* play on UNDER. |

NBA GAME OF THE MONTH | TOP-RATED 10* NORTHWEST DIV *BEST BET* I think we'll see a very high-scoring game when the Denver Nuggets visit the Minnesota Timberwolves Thursday night. The Wolves have really stepped it up a notch in recent weeks, winning six of their last nine games while scoring boatloads of points. The Denver Nuggets have split their last four games, despite scoring 113, 120, 119 and 117 points. Over is 11-4 in Nuggets last 15 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Over is 5-1 in Timberwolves last 6 home games. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
05-13-21 | Blue Jays v. Braves UNDER 9 | Top | 8-4 | Loss | -126 | 4 h 19 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY BLUE JAYS @ BRAVES MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY I think the bookmakers have set this total waaaaay too high. Sure, Toronto right-hander Ross Stripling (0-2, 6.61 ERA) has had a tough start to the year, but his best start came against the Braves on May 3 when he held them to two runs through 4 1/3 innings of work. Braves' veteran right-hander Charlie Morton (2-2, 4.98 ERA) could also have asked for a better start to the year, but he has a solid 3.83 ERA in eight career starts against Toronto. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
05-12-21 | Reds v. Pirates UNDER 7.5 | Top | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show |
EARLY MLB 3-PACK #2 - TOP PLAY The Cincinnati Reds are 22-10-1 to the over on the season, but I think this game will be low-scoring. Cincinnati right-hander Sonny Gray (0-2, 3.92 ERA) is coming off seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball against the White Sox. Gray has a 2.12 ERA in three day starts on the season. The Pittsburgh Pirates hand the ball to Trevor Cahill (1-4, 6.75 ERA) who has posted a 2.45 ERA in two day starts in 2021. If any team is to score runs here it's the Reds. I don't see Pittsburgh putting more than two runs on the board and I predict Cincinnati to win in a very low-scoring affair. 10* play on UNDER. |

05-11-21 | Wolves -7.5 v. Pistons | Top | 119-100 | Win | 100 | 14 h 48 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Minnesota Timberwolves put a 128-96 beating on Orlando last time out. The Wolves talented young guns led by Karl-Anthony Towns, D'Angelo Russell and potential rookie of the year Anthony Edwards are showing no interest in tanking. They are 4-1-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. The Detroit Pistons have lost six of their last seven games, and covered the spread only twice during that stretch. In their last game, the Pistons took a 108-96 loss to the Bulls. 10* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. |

TOP-RATED 10* JAZZ @ WARRIORS PLAY OF THE DAY The Utah Jazz are looking good to clinch the No. 1 seed in the West. They've won five games in a row and six of their past seven, and they're 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings with Golden State. The Warriors have clicked into gear as well winning four of five and six of their past nine, but Utah is a much tougher team than any other opponent they've faced during that stretch. While Golden State is pretty much the definition of a one-man show, Utah is quite the opposite and several role players have stepped up to fill the void of injured guards Donovan Mitchell (ankle injury) and Mike Conley (hamstring). Give me the better TEAM as a small road favorite in this one. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |

05-09-21 | Wolves -6.5 v. Magic | Top | 128-96 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Neither the Minneota Twimberwolves nor the Orlando Magic will be playing postseason basketball, but unlike the tanking Magic, the Wolves are still trying to win. Sure, the Wolves have lost their last three games, but you can see they're trying. The Timberwolves are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss and 3-1-2 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Magic are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. 10* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. |

MLB GAME OF THE MONTH | TOP-RATED 10* AL CENTRAL *BEST BET* White Sox right-hander Lance Lynn has been one of the best starters in the league in 2021 with a 1.82 ERA over four starts and a 29/4 K/BB ratio over 24 2/3 innings of work. He fanned 11 through a complete game shut out agianst the Royals on April 8. Kansas City counters wtih Daniel Lynch (0-0, 5.79 ERA) for his second start in the big leagues. Lynch gave up three runs and walked four through 4 2/3 innings of an 8-6 Royals loss to Cleveland in his debut on Tuesday. The White Sox are hitting left-handers hard (.298 AVG in 2021), and they are 20-1 SU and 18-3 against the runline against left-handed starters since the start of last season. 10/10* play on Chicago White Sox -1.5. |

05-08-21 | Chelsea v. Manchester City -105 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 27 m | Show |
SOCCER GAME OF THE YEAR | TOP-RATED PREMIER LEAGUE *BEST BET* Manchester City hosts Chelsea on Saturday in a preview of the upcoming Champions League final later this month. While Man City has the league all but wrapped up already, a win here would seal the deal for sure, and I think manager Pep Guardiola will field a strong team in order to clinch the title with a win against a marquee opponent. Chelsea sits in fourth and looking to hold on to a Champions League spot, but I think Man C has the motivational advantage in this one. We can also note that Chelsea has left as losers in nine of its past 12 visits to Etihad Stadium. This is a great price on a superior home team that also has had one day more of rest compared to the visitors. 10* play on Manchester City. |

TOP-RATED 10* MAGIC @ HORNETS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Charlotte Hornets are battling with Indiana and Washington for a favorable position in the play-in tournament. They're a rather sizable favorite in this matchup with an Orlando team since long eliminated from playoff contention, and the under is 13-3 in Hornets last 16 games as a home favorite. The Magic are averaging a league-low 104.1 points per game, and they're highly unlikely to put up big numbers with the season all but over already. I expect the Hornets to get plenty of stops and keep this game under the total. 10* play on UNDER. |

05-07-21 | Red Wings v. Blue Jackets OVER 5 | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show |
NHL GAME OF THE WEEK | TOP-RATED CENTRAL DIV TOTAL The Detroit Red Wings have struggled to find the net even more than usual in recent games, but I think we'll see fireworks in this matchup with Columbus. The Jackets are coming off a pair of high-scoring games against Nashville, and the over is 10-3-1 in Blue Jackets last 14 overall. Neither team is anywhere near the playoffs, and this should be a wide-open exhibition type affair between two sides battling to avoid last place in the Central Division. With a total as low as five this is a no-brainer play on the over for me. 10* play on OVER. |

TOP-RATED 10* LAKERS VS CLIPPERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY We saw only 190 points in the last battle of LA back on April 4. I think this wlll be another low-scoring contest as the teams look to get the defense right for the playoffs. Under is 16-4-1 in Lakers last 21 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 24-11 in Lakers last 35 road games. Under is 6-0 in Clippers last 6 overall. Under is 11-3-1 in the last 15 meetings with Clippers hosting at Staples Center. Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings overall. 10* play on UNDER. |

He faced Cleveland back on April 6 when he held the Tribe scoreless over six innings of a 3-0 Royals win. The Indians are batting only .195 against southpaws on the season. Cleveland right-hander Triston McKenzie (0-1, 6.27 ERA) has recorded 29 strikeouts over his 18 2/3 innings on the mound, but also walked 18. In his last start, McKenzie was tagged with six runs in only two innings against the White Sox. 10* play on Kansas City Royals. |

05-05-21 | Jets v. Flames -125 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
NHL NORTH GAME OF THE MONTH | TOP-RATED MAJOR WAGER The Winnipeg Jets have lost seven in a row. Six of the losses came by two goals or more and the Jets might be an auto-fade until they get back in the win column. The Calgary Flames took a 4-1 loss at Edmonton in their last game, but they had won three of four prior to that outing and they are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. Calgary's chances of making the playoffs are slim to none, but I still think the Flames will beat this slumping Jets team. Jets are 6-15 in the last 21 meetings in Calgary. 10* play on Calgary Flames. |

05-05-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Cubs | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE RIPPER PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Dodgers dropped both games of a doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. They've now lost eight of their last 10, and we just have to see a reaction soon. I think we'll see some fire from the Dodgers tonight, as they get to tee off vs. Adbert Alzolay (1-2, 4.71 ERA) who, in my opinion, is due for regression. We can also note Alzolay's 5.59 ERA in two home starts on the season. Dodgers' righty Walker Buehler (1-0, 3.16 ERA) was charged with five runs in 6 1/3 innings against Cincinnati last time out, but he also recorded 10 strikeouts. Buehler has 19 Ks over his last two starts, and the Cubs have one of the worst strikeout rates in the league in 2021. 10* play on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5. |

05-04-21 | Kings -5 v. Thunder | Top | 103-99 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 45 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE YEAR | 10* PACIFIC/SOUTHWEST *BEST BET* The Sacramento Kings have won two consecutive games and five of their past eight. They're still outside of the playoffs spot, and more or less have to win out to have even the slightest chance of making the play-in tournament. The Thunder have already been eliminated from playoff contention, and they've won only one of their last 10 games. With nothing to the play for, the Thunder are giving their young players more playing time. "We're integrating some new guys," coach Mark Daigneault stated. "We've got some new faces. We need to see those guys play in these games." I don't think the Thunder will stand a chance against a Kings team that is clicking. Kings are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games. Thunder are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a home underdog. Kings are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Kings are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Oklahoma City. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Philadelphia 76ers are jostling with Brooklyn and Milwaukee for the Eastern Conference regular season crown. They've won each of their last three games by 20+ points and the Sixers are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a road favorite. Here they'll take on a San Antonio team off a demoralizing 143-140 overtime loss in Boston, despite holding a 77-48 advantage at halftime. Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog. Spurs are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 10* play on Philadephia 76ers. |

05-01-21 | Grizzlies -10.5 v. Magic | Top | 111-112 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 12 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* GRIZZLIES @ MAGIC NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The tanking Orlando Magic are 1-7 SU and ATS over their last eight games. They are 1-6 ATS as double-digit dogs on the season, including a 92-75 loss at Memphis just a couple of nights ago. The Grizzlies sit eighth in the conference, and even have a small chance at making the playoffs without going through the play-in tournament. Grizzlies are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Grizzlies are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Grizzlies are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games as a favorite. Magic are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. 10* play on Memphis Grizzlies. |

04-29-21 | Warriors -5 v. Wolves | Top | 114-126 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 34 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to fade the Minnesota Timberwolves after racking up three straight wins. The Wolves are still nowhere near the playoffs, while the Warriors are right in the thick of it, battling with several teams for the spots to the play-in tournament in the West. I expect a big effort from the Warriors after coming out flat as a pancake against the Mavs on Tuesday in a game where the Warriors mustered only a pathetic 29 points in the first half. Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a double-digit loss at home. Timberwolves are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. |

04-29-21 | Red Sox -118 v. Rangers | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -118 | 16 h 33 m | Show |
AL GAME OF THE WEEK | TOP-RATED MLB MAJOR WAGER The Boston Red Sox have won three in a row and six of their last nine games. The Texas Rangers have dropped five in a row, and they're averaging only 4.04 runs per game (23rd) on the season which can be compared to Boston's 4.96 rpg (6th). Red Sox left-hander Martin Perez (0-1, 5.71 ERA) has had a less than ideal start to the year, but note that the team is 3-1 in his four starts and Texas has been hitting only .221 against southpaws. The Rangers hand the ball to veteran right-hander Kyle Gibson (2-0, 2.30 ERA) who has allowed only two runs through his last four starts, so I think he's due to get lit up. Gibson can not count on much back up from one of the worst bullpens in baseball while Boston has a top-10 bullpen. Rangers are 1-5 in their last 6 games as an underdog. 10* play on Boston Red Sox. |

04-28-21 | Lakers -3 v. Wizards | Top | 107-116 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 19 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* | NBA GAME OF THE WEEK | The Los Angeles Lakers are just the fifth-seed in the West heading into Wednesday's action. They need to pick up the pace in order to keep or improve on their position for the playoffs, and I think they'll make light work of Washington in this matchup. Sure, the Wizards had won eight straight prior to a 146-143 OT loss to San Antonio on Monday, but they had played a rather soft schedule. The Lakers are slowly but surely getting healthier, and Anthony Davis was back in the LA Lakers lineup when they snapped a 3-game skid with a win against Orlando last time out. The Lakers 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* play on Los Angeles Lakers. |

TOP-RATED 10* BLAZERS @ PACERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY We should see a hungry Portland Trail Blazers team after dropping five consecutive games and nine of their past 11. It's only a matter of time before they start picking up wins again as Damian Lillard gets back to health, and I like them to put a beating on a banged up Indiana team on Tuesday. The Pacers have to do without Domantas Sabonis (back strain), and players like Myles Turner, Jeremy Lamb and Goga Bitadze are also dealing with injuries. The Pacers are coming off three straight wins, and I don't think they'll be able to match the desperation and hunger from the Blazers in this one. Trail Blazers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Pacers are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Pacers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog. Trail Blazers are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Trail Blazers are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Indiana. 10/10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. |

04-27-21 | Yankees -1.5 v. Orioles | Top | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 5 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* TUESDAY NIGHT MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The 9-13 New York Yankees are a massive favorite in this one, despite the 10-12 Baltimore Orioles having a better record. I trust the bookies here and expect to see a reaction and fire from the Bronx Bombers after dropping the opener of this series 4-2 on Monday. Yankee righty Corey Kluber (0-2, 5.40 ERA) is coming off a decent outing when he held Atlanta to two earned runs on two hits and four walks while striking out two across 4 2/3 innings. Walks have been a big issue for Kluber, but note that Baltimore is among the worst teams in the league (25th) at getting to the base on balls. Additionally, only three Orioles hitters have seen Kluber before, for a combined eight at bats. The Orioles counter with 26-year old southpaw Bruce Zimmermann (1-2, 4.57 ERA) who will make just his seventh career major league appearance (sixth start), and he will take on the Yankees for the first time. I can see him getting lit up but a motivated Yankees team. 10/10* play on New York Yankees -1.5. |

04-26-21 | Phillies v. Cardinals +103 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 3 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* PHILLIES @ CARDS MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The St. Louis Cardinals are coming off a 3-game sweep of Cincinnati. I think they'll stay hot here against a Philadelphia team that is only 2-7 away from home in 2021. Cards' right-hander Adam Wainwright (0-2, 5.03 ERA) is coming off his best start of the season when he held Washington to one run on five hits with 10 Ks through seven innings. Wainwright is 7-3 with a 3.10 ERA in 16 career appearances against the Phillies who hand the ball to Zack Wheeler. Wheeler (1-2, 3.80 ERA) is 0-2 with a 5.87 ERA in three career starts against the Cardinals. He opened the season with seven shutout innings against Atlanta but has allowed three or more runs in each of his three starts since. Phillies are 5-12 in the last 17 meetings in St. Louis. 10* play on St. Louis Cardinals. |

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* | MIKE'S NHL CENTRAL DIV GAME OF THE MONTH This looks like an excellent spot to place a big wager on the Carolina Hurricanes to snap back from a 4-2 OT loss at Florida. The Hurricanes are 9-3 in their last 12 games as a road favorite, and they'll face a Stars team that must be running out of gas soon after winning five of its last six games. It is also worth noting that the Stars have closed each of their last six games as -180 favorites or more. The Stars are 5-17 in their last 22 games as an underdog and 1-6 in their last 7 games as a home underdog. Hurricanes are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on Carolina Hurricanes. |

04-25-21 | Royals -115 v. Tigers | Top | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY The Detroit Tigers have the worst record in baseball after taking a 2-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. They have lost seven of their last eight games, and they're averaging a league-low 3.36 runs per game. I think their misery will continue with another setback today. Royals' left-hander Danny Duffy (2-1, 0.50 ERA) has been outstanding in 2021, allowing only one earned run while recording 19 Ks through 18 innings of work. Detroit right-hander Michael Fulmer (1-1, 3.94 ERA) has had a respectable start to the year, but his last outing was far from impressive when Fulmer allowed three runs in four innings of a loss to Pittsburgh. Fulmer faced the Royals twice last year and was charged with eight runs while surrendering four home runs through 12 frames. 10* play on Kansas City Royals. |

MIKE'S AL CENTRAL GAME OF THE MONTH | TOP-RATED MLB MAJOR WAGER This looks like a tough spot for the hitters after playing Friday night and now asked to play early Saturday on very short rest. Additionally, we have two hot pitchers on the mound. KC right-hander Brady Singer (0-2, 3.77 ERA) is coming off six scoreless innings of two-hit ball against Toronto (2-0 Royals win). Detroit left-hander Matthew Boyd (2-1, 2.03 ERA) has allowed 0, 3, 1, 2 runs in his four starts on the season. Under is 17-4 in Royals' last 21 games vs. a left-handed starter. Detroit is 12-7 to the under on the season and ranks among the worst for most offensive stats. 10/10* play on UNDER. |

Under is 12-4 in Rockets last 16 games following a double-digit loss at home, and here they'll run into one of the best defensive teams in the league. The under is 4-1 in the Clippers last five overall. Under is 35-15-1 in Rockets last 51 home games. 10/10* play on UNDER. |

04-22-21 | Suns -3.5 v. Celtics | Top | 86-99 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns will be playing on no rest following a 116-113 win at Philadelphia last night, but I think they'll have enough gas left in the tank to take care of Boston. The Celtics are severely shorthanded with Jaylen Brown doubtful, All-Star Jayson Tatum questionable with left ankle impingement and several role players missing as well. Suns are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Suns are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest. Suns are 17-5 ATS in the last 22 meetings. 10/10* play on Phoenix Suns. |

NHL GAME OF THE WEEK | MIKE'S TOP-RATED BOOKIE BREAKER The Winnipeg Jets are 11-7-2 home at Bell MTS Place, but here they'll host a Toronto team that is 14-6-2 away from home on the season. I think we'll see an angry and hungry Toronto team looking to vindicate itself following five straight losses, the two most recent at Vancouver. This is also a revenge spot for the Leafs after taking a 5-2 home loss to Winnipeg on April 15. The Jets took a 3-0 loss to Edmonton on April 17 in their last game. Jets are 2-6 in their last 8 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals and 4-11 in their last 15 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Maple Leafs are 16-5 in their last 21 vs. a team with a winning record. 10/10* play on Toronto Maple Leafs. |

NBA GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT | TOP-RATED TOTAL MAJOR WAGER The Cleveland Cavaliers are averaging a league-worst 103.8 points per game. Through their last four games, they've put up 103, 101, 96, and 105 points for a 101.3 ppg average. Here they'll face a Chicago Bulls team that has held two straight opponents to 96 points, one of them the Cavs in a 106-96 win just last week. I think this will be another low-scoring affair. Bulls are 8-1 to the under in games with a total of 220 or lower this season. Under is 7-3 in Bulls last 10 games as a favorite. Under is 9-3 in Cavaliers last 12 games as an underdog. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT | TOP-RATED 10* NL TOTAL MAJOR WAGER The San Francisco Giants came from behind the beat the Philadelphia Phillies 10-7 on Tuesday. I expect a much low-scoring affair in this one. Philadelphia righty Zach Eflin (1-0, 3.15 ERA) struck out six through seven innings of two-run ball against the Cards last time out. Eflin has posted a 1.93 ERA with 14 Ks and only 10 hits allowed over 14 innings in two home starts on the season. San Francisco righty Anthony DeSclafani (1-0, 1.06 ERA) has allowed only two runs over 17 innings in 2021. Under is 7-2 in Giants' last 9 road games and 12-4 in all Giants' games on the season. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The New York Knicks are top of the league for most defensive ratings. Oddsmakers have struggled to make the totals low enough for games involving the Knickerbockers all season (25-33 over/under overall), and that is particularly true when games are expected to be extremely low-scoring. Note that the Knicks are 10-2-1 to the under in games with a total of 210 points or lower this season, and here they'll face a Hornets team that has struggled to score points of late. Under is 6-1 in Hornets last 7 games as an underdog. Under is 16-5 in Hornets last 21 overall. 10* play on UNDER 209.5. |

TOP-RATED 10* MONDAY NIGHT BREWERS @ PADRES *BEST BET* The San Diego Padres are 11-6 to the under on the season and right-hander Joe Musgrove (2-1, 0.47 ERA) has allowed only one run with 24 strikeouts over his 19 innings on the mound. The Milwaukee Brewers have been held to two runs or fewer in three of their last six games and they're batting only .209 on the season (28th). Brewers righty Brandon Woodruff (0-0, 2.12 ERA) limited the Cubs to one run on three hits in six innings last time out. Woodruff has 19 Ks over 17 innings on the mound and has yet to serve up a home run in 2021. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP-RATED 10* SPURS @ PACERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The San Antonio Spurs are coming off a 111-85 rout of Phoenix Suns on Saturday. They won big despite playing without their star player DeMar DeRozan who was rested. He should be back for this one. Spurs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games, and look to be in good shape here against an Indiana team playing on short rest after taking a 129-117 loss to Atlanta on Sunday afternoon. The Pacers have now allowed 124 or more points in four of their last five games. Pacers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. 10* play on San Antonio Spurs. |

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY Great spot to back the New York Islanders who will be hungry for a win following a pair of losses to Boston. They'll take on a Philadelphia team playing on short rest after taking a 6-3 loss against Washington on Saturday. Islanders are 18-5 in their last 23 games as a favorite. Flyers are 1-4 in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. Flyers are 2-8 in their last 10 home games. Islanders are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. 10* play on New York Islanders. |

TOP-RATED 10* AMERICAN LEAGUE MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE Oakland Athletics' right-hander Chris Bassitt (1-2, 4.96 ERA) picked up his first win when he held Arizona to a pair of runs on two hits through five innings of a 9-5 Oakland win last time out. Bassitt is 4-2 with a 3.35 ERA in six career starts against the Tigers who counter with left-hander Matthew Boyd. While Boyd (2-1, 1.86 ERA) is off to a fast start to the season, note that he has yet to beat Oakland in his career, going 0-1 with a 5.56 ERA in two starts. The A's are riding a seven-game winning streak, including taking the first three of this four-game series while outscoring the Tigers 18-4. I think we're getting a great price on Oakland to complete the sweep. 10* play on Oakland Athletics. |

04-18-21 | Nets -5.5 v. Heat | Top | 107-109 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Miami Heat are coming off three straight losses SU and ATS, most recently a 119-111 setback to the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves. The Heat are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games, and I don't like their chances here as a home underdog against a Brooklyn team coming off a dominant 130-115 win against Charlotte. Sure, Brooklyn has James Harden sidelined with a right-hamstring strain, but this is a deep team that can cope. Nets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Nets are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on Brooklyn Nets. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY | GUARANTEED TO WIN The Utah Jazz will be playing on short rest following a 117-11 win over Indiana Friday night. While they have failed to cover big numbers in three straight home games, note that they are 6-1 ATS as road favorites of more than eight points on the season and I think they're looking forward to having a go at this shorthanded Lakers team. Utah put a 114-89 beating on the Lakers (with Lebron in the lineup) at Vivint Arena back in February. This should be another blowout. 10* play on Utah Jazz -8.5. |

04-17-21 | Diamondbacks v. Nationals UNDER 9 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY D'BACKS @ NATS TOTAL TOP PLAY | 1:05 FIRST PITCH The Washington Nationals won Friday's matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks 1-0. I expect another low-scoring affair when the two teams clash for Game 3 of this series on Saturday. Arizona right-hander Luke Weaver (1-0, 2.13 ERA) is off to a fast start to the season. In his last start, Weaver held Cincinnati to one hit with eight Ks through seven scoreless innings. Weaver has not faced the Nats since the 2018 season, and note that the Nats are averaging only 3.76 runs per game (28th). Washington counters with Erick Fedde (0-1, 8.53 ERA) who was roughed up by Atlanta in his first start of the season, but he held the Cards to one run on two hits in 4 2/3 frames last time out. Fedde has not faced Arizona since the 2019 season. Arizona's relievers have combined for a 3.91 ERA (12th) while the Nats' bullpen ranks 20th with a 4.23 ERA. Still, I like the under in this one. 10* play on UNDER. |

04-16-21 | Nuggets -8.5 v. Rockets | Top | 128-99 | Win | 100 | 18 h 50 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The tanking Houston Rockets have dropped four consecutive games and 9 of 10. Last time out, they gave up 75 first-half points in a 132-124 loss to the Indiana Pacers. Here they'll face a better team than the Pacers in Denver Nuggets who have won eight of their last 10 games and most recently put a 123-106 beating on Miami. They did it without Jamal Murray who tore his left ACL against the Warriors on Monday, and I think the Nuggets will win this one by double-digits. Rockets are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games as a home underdog. Road favorites of more than eight points are 34-15-1 ATS (69%) across the whole NBA this season. 10* play on Denver Nuggets. |

GAME OF THE WEEK ALERT | TOP-RATED MLB TOTAL Good spot for an under when the St. Louis Cardinals visit the Philadelphia Phillies Friday night. Philly right-hander Zach Eflin (0-0, 3.46 ERA) was excellent in his lone home start of the season so far, limiting Atlanta to one run on four hits with eight ks through seven innings of a 2-1 Phillies win. Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez (0-2, 6.30 ERA) has had two rough outings, but here he'll face a Philadelphia team that averages only 3.73 runs per game (28th). Neither bullpen is spectacular, but not awful either. I expect a low-scoring game. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT | NORTH DIVISION *BEST BET* FOR APRIL I like to fade the Calgary Flames here as they're coming off three straight wins, the most recent a 4-1 triumph here at Montreal a couple of nights ago. I'm not sure they can keep the intensity for a fourth straight win, while the Habs should be hungry to turn things around with only one win in their last five games. Canadiens are 23-4 in their last 27 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals. Home team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. 10* play on Montreal Canadiens. |

GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT | NBA EAST VS WEST *BEST BET* FOR APRIL A Los Angeles Lakers team with both Lebron James and Anthony Davis in the lineup defeated Boston 96-95 back on Jan 30. Now the Lakers will have to do without their two biggest stars, and I like the Celtics to get their revenge tonight. The Celtics are hot, winning six of their last seven games, the only loss to Philadelphia on April 6. Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games while the Lakers are only 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. Additionally, note that the Lakers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and I expect a hungry Celtics side to feast on the shorthanded Lakers that might not only be without Lebron and A.D, but Marc Gasol and Markieff Morris are at risk of missing this one as well. 10* play on Boston Celtics. |

04-15-21 | Rangers v. Rays OVER 8.5 | Top | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MLB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY I expect to see fireworks when the Texas Rangers clash with the Tampa Bay Rays for the finale of a four-game series Thursday night. Tampa Bay left-hander Rich Hill (1-0, 7.20 ERA) has allowed four runs in each of his two starts on the season, covering four and six frames respectively. Those two games both saw 15+ runs scored. Rangers righty Jordan Lyles (1-0, 4.50 ERA) has allowed five runs on 11 hits with three homes through 11 innings on the season. I think the Rays can get to him and Texas' bullpen is among the worst in baseball with a 5.17 ERA (25th), one of the few worse is Tampa Bay's (29th). Over is 7-0 in Rangers last 7 during game 4 of a series. Over is 8-4 in Rays' 12 games on the season. 10* play on OVER. |

Playing on short rest should not be an issue against a tanking Houston team that has lost eight of its last nine games. Pacers are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Pacers are 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 games as a road favorite.

Miami is coming off a pair of wins, holding the Lakers and the Blazers to 104 and 98 points respectively. While the majority of the Suns' recent games have been of the high-scoring variety, I don't see either them or the Heat push the pace here. Under is 9-1 in Heat last 10 road games.

While Florida has been resting in Dallas ever since, the Stars traveled to Nashville and back for a game against the Preds on Sunday. With a nice little rest advantage and revenge on their mind, this looks like an ideal spot for the Panthers to snap a three-game skid. 10* play on Florida Panthers. |
