09-29-20	Astros v. Twins -162		4-1	Loss	-162	4 h 56 m	Show
Take Minnesota. In the strange 2020 season, these two teams have not met yet. Minnesota took four of seven meetings with Houston a season ago. The Twins (36-24) are certainly hotter, winning five of their final seven games while the Astros (29-31) have been struggling all season long and ended the regular season losing five of their last seven outings, including their final three. Greinke (3-3, 4.03) and Maeda (6-1, 2.70) square off here. With the hotter team, the better starter, and the far superior bullpen, Minny is the play here. The Astros are 1-5 the last six at the Twins. Take Minnesota. Thank you.
09-27-20	Raiders v. Patriots -5		20-36	Win	100	45 h 59 m	Show
Take New England. This is my BB play. Game 462. 10:00 am pst. Las Vegas comes in here prime for a letdown. they come off a short week, having played on MNF in which they bested a superior New Orleans team. This is also the second trip across the country in just a few weeks for the Raiders. New England returns home after a tough loss in Seattle. No team in football is better at bouncing back from a loss than his team. No head coach is better than Bill Belichick at maximizing his strength and exploiting an opponent's weakness. Look for Cam Newton and the Patriots offense to pad their stats here both in the air and on the ground. This is a mismatch. Las Vegas is 2-5 ATS the last seven vs. the AFC and 8-15-1 ATS the last 23 on the road. Take New England. Thank you.
09-27-20	Rams +2.5 v. Bills		32-35	Loss	-114	45 h 53 m	Show
Take Los Angeles. This is my TD play. Game463, 10:00 am pst. Two 2-0 teams from opposite coasts square off. Both squads seem to be on the rise. But, I wouldn't put too much stock into the fact that LA is traveling through several time zones and playing early here. Sean McVay's Rams are 7-0, both SU and ATS the last three years on doing just that. They also possess a defense that held Dak Prescott and Carson Wentz in check thus far. The Bills are a good team but have had issues defensively with offenses that pass off the run. Enter the Rams and Goff, Kupp, Woods, Brown, and Henderson Jr. Los Angeles is 4-0 ATS the last four as a road underdog, 9-2 ATS the last 11 overall on the road, and 5-1 ATS the last six in September. Take the Rams. Thank you.
09-27-20	Bears v. Falcons -3		30-26	Loss	-116	45 h 45 m	Show
Take Atlanta. This is my GI play. Game 476. 10:00 am pst. Yes, these two teams own mirror image records. But, in all honesty, the Bears have played far inferior foes (Lions and Giants) than did the Falcons (Seahawks and Cowboys). Mitch Trubisky and the pedestrian, Chicago "O" (21.0 PPG) can not go score-for-score with the high-flying, Atlanta offense (32.0 PPG). The Bears are 1-6 ATS the last seven on the road, 2-6 ATS the last eight vs. the NFC, and 1-4 ATS the last five overall. The Falcons are 4-1 ATS the last five following a SU loss, 4-1 ATS the last five vs. the NFC, and 5-1 ATS the last six overall. Take Atlanta. Thank you.
09-26-20	Kansas v. Baylor -17.5	Top	14-47	Win	100	28 h 44 m	Show
Take Baylor. This is my BIG 12 GOM. Game 408. 4:30 pm pst. Any optimism Kansas had for the 2020 season was quickly snuffed out in their 38-23 loss to Sun Belt rep, Coastal Carolina. Les Miles must think he is still at a top-ranked Louisiana school, where he didn't need to go out and recruit to replace graduates. He is going to need a miracle to improve on last year's, 3-9 squad. We finally get to see Baylor after two cancellations. There is some talk that the Bears might be a step down on the defensive side of the ball. But, considering they return several key role players from a stop-unit that allowed just 19.3 PPG last season, I wouldn't worry too much. Especially with quarterback, Charlie Brewer (7,147 yards passing, 64.8% completion rate, 48/18 TD/INT) back at the helm. Baylor is 10-0 SU the last 10 meetings with Kansas, going 9-1 ATS (eight straight covers by 40.5 PPG). Take the Bears. Thank you.
09-26-20	Louisville +3 v. Pittsburgh		20-23	Push	0	20 h 7 m	Show
Take Louisville. This is my LVSM. game 401. 9:00 am pst. The Pittsburgh defense will come in here way overconfident after facing Austin Peay and Syracuse. well, they now must line up against the very talented and well-balanced Louisville squad here. The Cardinals "O" will move the chains, keeping, the Panthers "D" on the field, and gasping come the second half. Louisville is 5-2 ATS the last seven in September and 4-1 ATS the last five overall. Pittsburgh is 8-20 ATS the last 28 as a home favorite and 1-4 ATS the last five overall. Take the Cardinals. Thank you.
09-25-20	Heat +3.5 v. Celtics		108-121	Loss	-110	11 h 33 m	Show
Take Miami. Miami will put away Boston tonight. they have outplayed and outsmarted the Celtics players and their coaching staff. Not only that, but they are getting the bettors paid, going 11-2 ATS the last 13 overall. There is no pressure on the Heat, which makes them a very dangerous team. Take Miami. Thank you.
09-24-20	Astros v. Rangers +1.5		12-4	Loss	-150	11 h 10 m	Show
Take Texas on the RUN LINE. Yes, I am well aware of the fact that Houston is fighting for a playoff spot, while Texas is out of the postseason race. No worries, there is a method to my madness. Lance Lynn is scheduled to take the mound at home here. The RH is having the best campaign of his nine year career, at 6-2 with a 2.53 ERA, striking out 84 batters in 78.1 IP. The savvy veteran is eager to avenge his worst outing of 2020, an early-September loss to the Astros, giving up twice as many earned runs (six) as he has in any of his other 11 starts this season. Houston is not the same team they were in 2019, losing strength both on the mound and at the plate. The Astros are 1-5 the last six games played as a road favorite, 1-7 the last eight road games played vs. RH starters, and 6-22 overall the last 28 road games. Five of the last seven outings in this rivalry has been decided by just one run. Take the run and a half with the Rangers on the run line as long as Lynn takes the hill. Take the Rangers on the run line. Thank you.
09-23-20	Celtics -3 v. Heat		109-112	Loss	-110	10 h 50 m	Show
Take Boston. With some adjustments and the return of Gordon Hayward, Boston is right back in this series. This is a very experienced and talented team that also owns the NBA's #2 overall defense. The Celtics are 23-8-1 ATS the L32 playoff games as a favorite and 19-7-1 ATS the L27 games played on 3 or more days off. Take Boston. Thank you.
09-20-20	Patriots +4 v. Seahawks		30-35	Loss	-110	54 h 10 m	Show
Take New England. This is my LB play. Game 287. 5:20 pm pst. Cam Newton brings a whole new dynamic to the New England offense. Mind you, Seattle has always had trouble with dual-threat quarterbacks over the years. But, this matchup is all about the Patriots defense. They were one of the best in football a season ago and are even better this season. No way Russell Wilson has the same luck here as he had last week against the very beatable, Falcons "D". Seattle is 2-7 ATS L9 at home and 1-5 ATS L6 in Week 2. New England is 7-3 ATS L10 on the road and 12-3 ATS L15 as an underdog. Take the Patriots. Thank you.
09-20-20	Ravens -7 v. Texans		33-16	Win	100	50 h 20 m	Show
Take Baltimore. This is my GRIDIRON PLAY. Game 283. 1:25 pm pst. The Ravens, on both sides of the ball are one of the most well-balanced teams in the NFL. They thumped Houston, 41-7 last November, keeping DeShaun Watson and the Texans ground game to some of their lowest stats of the season. Baltimore's "D" will once again keep the lackluster Houston "O" in check, while Lamar Jackson and the explosive Ravens offense show why they are NFL elite. The Ravens are 8-1 ATS L9 vs. the AFC, 5-0 ATS L5 on the road, and 10-2 ATS L12 overall. Take Baltimore. Thank you.
09-20-20	Rams +1 v. Eagles		37-19	Win	100	47 h 11 m	Show
Take Los Angeles. This is my TD play. Game 261. 10:00 am pst. With no fans in the stands, Philly has very little home field advantage here. This on top of the fact that this team is once again banged-up, urges us to side with LA here as they come off a big win over Dallas last week. The Rams pass rush will go through the paper-thin Eagles offensive line that gave up eight sacks in Week 1, like butter. Los Angeles is 8-2 ATS L10 on the road and 13-3-1 ATS L17 vs. the NFC. Philadelphia is 1-4 ATS L5 at home and 1-7 ATS L8 in the month of September. Take the Rams. Thank you.
09-20-20	Bills -5.5 v. Dolphins		31-28	Loss	-110	47 h 5 m	Show
Take Buffalo. This is my CONSENSUS play. Game 271. 10:00 am pst. Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to be in for another long afternoon here against the stout Buffalo defense. The Bills bested the 'Fins in both meetings a season ago and saw Josh Allen have some of his best performances as a pro (458 YP, 5 TD's). Miami has problems with dual-threat quarterbacks. Buffalo is 7-1-2 ATS L10 on the road. Miami is 0-6 ATS L6 in the month of September. Take the Bills. Thank you.
09-20-20	Vikings +3 v. Colts		11-28	Loss	-100	47 h 0 m	Show
Take Minnesota. This is my DOW. Game 273. 10:00 am pst. Philip Rivers, new uniform, same mistakes. The Colts quarterback had a pair of interceptions in the Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. He now has 25 picks and three fumbles in his last 17 games. I know Minnesota gave up points in their opener, but that was too one of the best teams in the NFC. Expect their defense to come up big here and cause turnovers while Kirk Cousins and the Minny offense devours the mediocre Indy "D". The Vikings are 7-2 ATS L9 following an ATS loss and 11-5 ATS L16 in the month of September.Take Minnesota. Thank you.
09-19-20	Louisiana Tech +5.5 v. Southern Miss		31-30	Win	100	31 h 45 m	Show
Take Louisiana Tech. This is my DOW. Game 125. 4:30 pm pst. Louisiana Tech opens up another very promising season under Skip Holtz while Southern Miss comes off a 32-21 loss to South Alabama as an 11.5-pt favorite. The Golden Eagles will be distracted even more here after their head coach resigned this week. Yes, the Bulldogs lost quarterback, Smith but, 1000-yard rusher, Henderson returns. The underdog is 4-1 ATS L5 meetings in this series. Louisiana Tech is 8-3 ATS L11 as an underdog and 12-5 ATS L17 on the road. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you.
09-19-20	Central Florida -7.5 v. Georgia Tech		49-21	Win	100	27 h 57 m	Show
Take Central Florida. This is my HR play. Game 109. 12:30 pm pst. One mistake many bettors make is judging a team solely by their last performance. Georgia Tech upended Florida State in Week 1. But the Seminoles gave away the contest. Central Florida, which is the favorite to take the ACC crown, is a monstrous team. They return most of their offensive role players from last seasons' Top-10 squad (43.0 PPG). On the flipside, the Knights possess an experienced, veteran "D" that will get to Yellow Jackets frosh quarterback, Josh Sims, and force the youngster to make mistakes. Look for their stellar, ball-hawking secondary (all four starters return) to make his life miserable here. Georgia Tech is 0-6 ATS L6 nonconference games, 1-8 ATS L9 home games, and 2-7 ATS L9 September games. Take Central Florida. Thank you.
09-19-20	Appalachian State -4.5 v. Marshall		7-17	Loss	-117	27 h 51 m	Show
Take Appalachian State. This is my STL play. Game 121. 12:30 pm pst. Even though Appalachian State didn't cover last week, this week, they get us the money. Yes, Marshall flattened Eastern Kentucky in their opener with only four offensive starters back, however they will have no such luck in this matchup. The Mountaineers haven't given up more than 20.2 PPG over the last five seasons. Appalachian State, with Zac Thomas at the helm, joined by solid running backs, Marcus Williams Jr. and Camerun Peoples, and wideout, Thomas Hennigan, will light up the scoreboard here on an outclassed, Marshall team. The Mountaineers are 7-2 ATS L9 in the month of September, 12-3 ATS L15 on the road, and 9-3 ATS L12 nonconference matchups. Take Appalachian State. Thank you.
09-18-20	Yankees -185 v. Red Sox		6-5	Win	100	11 h 1 m	Show
Take New York. This is my AL EAST GOW. Game 965. 4:30 pm pst. With eight consecutive wins, the hottest team in baseball is the New York Yankees. Now, they start a series with the Boston Red Sox, a team they have beaten in all seven meetings in 2020, outscoring them 50-23. The Bronx Bombers are back with a lineup that is crushing the ball. The Yankees are 4-1 L5 at the Red Sox and 21-5 L26 overall vs. the Red Sox. take New York. Thank you.
09-17-20	Heat +2.5 v. Celtics		106-101	Win	100	10 h 3 m	Show
Take Miami. This is my GAME 2 WINNER. Game 701. 4:00 pm pst. There is very little pressure on Miami. No one thought they would get this far. This makes them a very dangerous team. The pressure is all on Boston. The Heat took Game 1of this series and since the league returned, they are 2-0 in this rivalry, both SU and ATS. As a matter of fact, going back a bit further, they are 7-3 ATS the last 10 meetings. They are healthy while Boston is once again most likely going to be without Hayward. Miami is 6-1 ATS L7 on 1 days rest, 4-1 L5 as an underdog, and 9-1 ATS L10 overall. Take the Heat. Thank you.
09-16-20	Rangers v. Astros -1.5		1-0	Loss	-115	10 h 39 m	Show
Take Houston on the RL. This is my WWW. 5:10 pm pst. Houston is in a dogfight right now and need every win they can get. they have taken three of four meetings with Texas in 2020, including the last three in a row. They are averaging more than a full run per game than the rangers. Texas is 1-12 the last 13 in Houston and 3-14 the L17 overall vs. Houston. Take the Astros on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
09-15-20	Indians v. Cubs -148		5-6	Win	100	10 h 43 m	Show
Take Chicago. This is my IL GOW. 5:15 pm pst. Cleveland has dropped six straight and their pitching staff has gotten shelled for over 6.66 RPG during the slide. RH Carrasco (3-4, 3.12) goes up against RH Darvish (7-2, 1.77). the Cubs have taken both 2020 meetings with the Indians. Cleveland is 4-17 L21 as an underdog, 2-5 the L7 on the road, and 2-5 the L7 during Game 1 of a series. Chicago is 21-8 the L29 IL home games, 7-3 the L10 following an off day, and 19-7 the L26 during Game 1 of a series. Take the Cubs. Thank you.
09-14-20	Steelers -6 v. Giants		26-16	Win	100	93 h 37 m	Show
Take Pittsburgh. This is my MNF WINNER. Game 479. 4:15 pm pst. This game opened up -3 and quickly soared to -6. I normally do not side with the general public, but sometimes in sports betting, you throw "normal" out the window. Big Ben is back and healthy. Look for him to connect early and often with receiver, Smith-Schuster. New York is without Eli for the first time since 2003. Daniel Jones is back at the helm and is joined by Saquon Barkley in the backfield. However, the offensive line is shaky at best and won't provide enough protection for the quarterback or open up holes for the running back. Throw into the mix that the ferocious, Pittsburgh defense was ranked third vs. the pass and an overall fifth in scoring (18.9 PPG allowed) a season ago. This doesn't bode well for the Giants. New York is 3-12-1 ATS the last 16 games played at home, 1-10 ATS the last 11 games played as a home 'dog, and 2-7 ATS the last 11 games played in Week 1. STEELERS -6 gets you paid. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.
09-13-20	Browns v. Ravens -7	Top	6-38	Win	100	63 h 50 m	Show
Take Baltimore. This is my AFC NORTH GOM. game 456. 10:00 am pst. After the Ravens lost to the Browns in week 4 last year, they were so motivated, they didn't lose another regular season contest. They did get some payback in a week 16, 31-15 win and cover over the Browns, but they are looking to exact some real revenge here and prove to the rest of the AFC that they are the best team in the conference. Cleveland is 0-6 ATS the last six on the road and 9-19-1 ATS the last 29 vs. the AFC North. Baltimore is 4-0 ATS the last four in Week 1 and 7-1 ATS the last eight vs. the AFC. Take the Ravens. Thank you.
09-13-20	Eagles -5.5 v. Washington Football Team		17-27	Loss	-110	63 h 43 m	Show
Take Philadelphia. This is my NFC EAST GOW. Game 463. 10:00 am pst. Despite being bitten badly by the injury bug a season ago, Philly still took their division. They are now healthy. The Eagles have taken the last four meetings in this series SU, going 3-1 ATS (5-1 ATS last six meetings). Wentz has the best tight end tandem in football in Ertz and Goedert. They are accompanied by an arsenal of wideouts. This is an offense that is equally talented in the air and on the ground. This doesn't bode well for a Washington defense that will once again be a doormat. Washington has a second year quarterback and a rookie running back. It's going to be a very long and frustrating day for the offense here. Washington is 2-8 ATS the last 10 at home and 0-5 ATS the last five vs. the NFC East. Take the Eagles. Thank you.
09-13-20	Bears +3 v. Lions		27-23	Win	100	63 h 37 m	Show
Take Chicago. This is my DOW. Game 465. 10:00 am pst. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know Stafford is back. But what good is it when the Lions have no OL whatsoever to protect him? In comes the Bears and their ferocious "D". Linebackers, Mack and newly acquired, Quinn are going to come at Stafford from both edges and create havoc. Trubisky is at the helm and gets to face the NFL's 32nd ranked pass defense here that he lit up for six TD's in both meetings last year. Both wins for Chicago. As a matter of fact, the Bears are 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS the last two seasons vs. the Lions. They are also 9-4 ATS the last 13 vs. the NFC North. Take Chicago. Thank you.
09-12-20	Rockets v. Lakers -6.5		96-119	Win	100	9 h 24 m	Show
Take LA. Game 5 WINNER. Game 714. 5:00 pm pst. After losing Game 1of this series, LA has won and covered three straight. One more and they go to the Western Conference Finals. They have made adjustments to play Houtson's strengths by playing "smaller" ball and it has paid off. The Lakers have owned the boards and will continue to dominate in the paint. The Rockets are 1-7 ATS the L8 on 1 days rest and 1-5 the L6 overall. The Lakers are 6-0 ATS the L6 on 1 days rest and 6-2 ATS the L8 overall. Take LA. Thank you.
09-12-20	Clemson -32.5 v. Wake Forest	Top	37-13	Loss	-110	46 h 53 m	Show
Take Clemson. This is my NO LIMIT. Game 407. 4:30 pm pst. The preseason, top-ranked, Clemson Tigers are on a mission this season. After going 13-0 in the regular season a year ago, they ousted Ohio State from the Bowl semifinals, only to lose badly to LSU in the Title game. This is an ideal matchup to kick off the campaign and make a statement to the rest of college football. They crushed Wake Forest the last two seasons by a combined, 115-6. Don't put too much stock into the whispers that the Tigers lost a lot of talent to the NFL again. This team is stacked higher than the pancakes at your favorite breakfast joint. Their entire defensive line returns and will cut through the Demon Deacons OL like butter, get pressure on the quarterback, and force turnovers. On the flipside, Trevor Lawrence, who Wake Forest could not slow down in recent meetings, is back with an all-star cast. Look for Lawrence to make a serious push out of the gate, in the Heisman race. Clemson is 19-7-1 ATS the last 27 games in the conference, 10-1 ATS the last 11 games as a road favorite and 20-7 ATS the last 27 games played overall. Take the Tigers. Thank you.
09-11-20	Orioles +1.5 v. Yankees		0-6	Loss	-104	5 h 17 m	Show
Take Baltimore on the RUN LINE. This is my LIM. Game 903. 4:05 pm pst. Baltimore, which has won seven of their last 10, has also taken four straight over New York, outscoring the Yankees, 22-6. New York is struggling, dropping eight of their last 10. The offense is sputtering. Take the run and a half with the Orioles here. Thank you.
09-10-20	Dodgers -1.5 v. Diamondbacks		2-5	Loss	-140	11 h 11 m	Show
Take Los Angeles on the Run Line. This is my GRAND SLAM PLAY. Game 969. 3:40 pm pst. May and Bumgarner have been scheduled here. In eight starts in 2020, Dustin May is 1-1 with a 2.88 ERA. "Big Red" has not allowed more than two earned runs in any outing this season. The RH will completely shut down the sputtering Arizona lineup which has mustered a mere, 3.00 RPG in their eight10 losses over their last 11 contests. Madison Bumgarner is a far cry from the pitcher he was several seasons ago. The "Mad-Bum" is living up to his nickname in more ways than one, as he hasn't had a winning season since 2016. The LH is 0-4 in five starts with a colossal ERA of 8.44. The Dodgers are a monstrous team, ranking third in scoring and second in Team Era. They are a tough enough mountain to climb for any opponent, especially for a team that ranks in the bottom third in both areas. LA is 7-0 the last seven meetings in this series, 6-1 the last seven vs. LH starters, and 36-15 the last 51 on the road. Take the Dodgers on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
09-10-20	Red Sox v. Rays -1.5		4-3	Loss	-100	8 h 17 m	Show
Take Tampa Bay on the Run Line. This is my HOME RUN PLAY. Game 962. 3:40 pm pst. Boston threw in the towel on the 2020 season a few weeks ago when they traded away some big names. It will help their farm system down the road, but as far as this season is concerned, put a fork in this team. Tampa Bay owns the best record in the AL at 28-15. They have taken five of the six meetings in this division rivalry this season (only one victory being decided by one run), including the last four consecutive matchups. The Red Sox are outclassed both on the mound and at the plate. They own the worst pitching staff in baseball and just can't seem to score runs with any consistency. The Rays bring in a top-10 team both on the rubber and in the batters box. Fleming (3-0, 3.52 ERA in 2020), who has won all three of his starts this season will have the luxury of some run support. The Red Sox are 8-21 the last 29 meetings in this series, 5-16 the last 21 vs. LH starters, and 0-4 the last four during Game 1 of a series. Take the Rays on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
09-09-20	Clippers v. Nuggets +8		96-85	Loss	-105	11 h 53 m	Show
Take Denver. This is my BB play. Game 712. 6:00 pm pst. The Nuggets have shown that they have some fight and giving this team this many points is a gift. Denver big man, Nikola Jokic is too much of a force in the paint and will get his points and rebounds while the supporting cast will all contribute as well. The Nuggets are 5-1 ATS the last six as a 'dog, 4-1-1 ATS the last six on one days rest, and 11-4 ATS the last 15 in the Conference semifinals. Take Denver. Thank you.
09-08-20	Dodgers -1.5 v. Diamondbacks		10-9	Loss	-154	8 h 27 m	Show
Take Los Angeles. This is my NL WEST BEST BET play. Game 977. 6:401 pm pst. Los Angeles has taken five in a row and six of the last seven meetings with Arizona in 2020. Buehler (1-0, 3.60 ERA) and Weaver (1-6, 7.44 ERA) are scheduled. The Dodgers rank first in scoring and second in Team ERA. This doesn't bode well for a Diamondbacks team that ranks in the bottom third in both area. Take Los Angeles on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
09-08-20	White Sox -130 v. Pirates		4-5	Loss	-130	6 h 47 m	Show
Take Chicago. This is my CASH MONEY PLAY. Game 959. 4:05 pm pst. Chicago took both 2020 meetings with Pittsburgh, crushing them by a combined, 14-3. They come a four-game sweep of Kansas City to own one of the AL's best records at 26-15. They outclass the Pirates both on the mound and in the batters box. The White Sox are 6-0 the last six during Game 1 of a series, 4-0 the last four on the road, and 5-1 the last six in IL play. Take Chicago. Thank you.
09-08-20	Royals v. Indians -1.5		8-6	Loss	-108	5 h 2 m	Show
Take Cleveland on the RUN LINE. This is my AL CENTRAL BEST BET play. Game 954. 3:10 pm pst. Cleveland has taken five of seven this season over Kansas City. The Indians (won last three and seven of last 10) come in here with the very impressive, Triston McKenzie 2-0, 1.69 ERA in 2020). Meanwhile, the Royals which are on a seven-game slide, have Jakob Junis (0-1, 4.32) on the hill. The only thing worse than the KC 19th ranked pitching staff is their 29th ranked offense. The Royals are 0-6 the last six vs. RH starters and 3-13 the last 16 vs. the AL Central. take the Indians on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
09-07-20	Celtics v. Raptors +2		111-89	Loss	-110	7 h 45 m	Show
Take Toronto. This is my GAME 5 WINNER. Game 702. 3:30 pm pst. Toronto has taken Game 3 and 4 of this series because they are keeping their "Big 3," Lowry, Siakem, and VanVleet, for more most of the game. The NBA's No. 1 defense has frustrated Boston on the perimeter. Look for more if the same in Game 5. The Raptors are 5-0 ATS the last five as a 'dog and 6-0-1 ATS the last seven playoff games as a 'dog. Take Toronto. Thank you.
09-07-20	Rays +111 v. Nationals		1-6	Loss	-100	7 h 16 m	Show
Take Tampa Bay. This is my INTERLEAGUE BEST BET. Game 911. 3:00 pm pst. Tampa Bay has a commanding, 5.5 game lead in the AL East and both a top-10 offense and pitching staff. Outside of his first start back in July, Charlie Morton has pitched very well. Max Scherzer has erratic. He also hasn't gotten run support. And, the bullpen has been atrocious, ranking 27th, with a TEAM ERA of 5.35. The Rays are 14-2 the last 16 on the road, 5-1 the last six IL, and 19-7 the last 26 during Game 1 of a series. Take Tampa Bay. Thank you.
09-06-20	Rockets +5.5 v. Lakers		109-117	Loss	-104	11 h 43 m	Show
Take Houston. This is my GAME 2 WINNER. Game 747. 5:30 pm pst. Houston has won and covered the last three meetings with Los Angeles, including Game 1 of this series. The "smallish" Rockets team has the speed and the depth to frustrate the Lakers and force turnovers. LA, which had a five day layoff after a four game sweep in Round 1, will once again come in here a bit rusty as in the opener. Houston is 17-8 ATS the last 25 vs. the Lakers, 4-1 the last five conference semifinal games, and 5-1 ATS the last six playoff games as an underdog. Los Angeles is 1-6 ATS the last seven following an ATS loss, 0-3-1 ATS last four conference semifinal games, and 4-11 ATS the last 15 overall. Take the Rockets. Thank you.
09-05-20	SMU -22 v. Texas State		31-24	Loss	-110	6 h 59 m	Show
Take SMU. This is my BEST BET play. Game 239. 1:30 pm pst. This line officially opened at -17 and quickly jumped up to -22.5. It's hovering around 23.5. SMU comes off a 10-win season in which they started off at 8-0 SU, 6-2 ATS. It took a very good Memphis team to put up 54 to their 48 to hand them their first loss. They love to run up scores. Guys, they are infamous for covering big numbers in August, September, and October. Now, they did lose their top-two ball carriers. But, reports are that they won't miss a beat with their new backfield personnel. This is an offense that accounted for over 43.0 PPG a season ago and this season sees the return of their gun slinging QB, Shane Buechele, who threw for 3929 yards a year ago, with 34 TD's against just 10 INT's. He has an arsenal at his disposal as his six top receivers all return as well. This is bad news for a Texas State secondary that ranked 106th vs. the pass last year, with an overall defensive unit that has only four starters returning. The Mustangs will own the time of possession, keeping the Bobcats "D" on the field and win this game by 4 or more TD's. Lay the 22.5. Take SMU. Thank you.
09-04-20	Rockets +6.5 v. Lakers		112-97	Win	100	11 h 60 m	Show
Take Houston. This is my GAME 1 WINNER. Game 739. 6:00 pm pst. Houston won and covered both 2020 meetings with Los Angeles. Yes, the Rockets are a "smallish" squad, but the stellar play of Harden, Westbrook, and Gordon have the talent and the speed to frustrate the Lakers. This is a very good, experienced team that is 5-2 ATS the last seven as an underdog. The oddsmakers tend to inflate the lines when it comes to LA, as they are just 4-9 ATS then last 13 as a favorite and 4-10 ATS the last 14 overall. Take Houston. Thank you.
09-04-20	Astros -113 v. Angels		5-6	Loss	-113	11 h 33 m	Show
Take Houston. This is my DOUBLE PLAY. Game 971. 6:10 pm pst. Yes, Lance McCullers ERA is a bit higher than usual, but the RH has had three strong outings in his last four starts. The Team is 5-2 in his starts in 2020. This is a team that has taken seven of the last nine meetings with LA. The Angels are 13-25, mainly because they can't seem to produce offensively at all. The Astros are 19-7 the last 26 at the Angels. Take Houston. Thank you.
09-04-20	White Sox -159 v. Royals		7-4	Win	100	10 h 34 m	Show
Take Chicago. This is my CASH MONEY PLAY. Game 965. 5:05 pm pst. Chicago, which is only a half GB of Cleveland for the AL Central's top spot, has taken six of the seven meetings with Kansas City in 2020, averaging over 6.5 RPG in those six victories. Dunning makes his second start of the campaign and goes up against Singer (1-3, 5.19). The Royals have dropped three straight and seven of their last 10. They possess the league's 29th ranked offense, accounting for a mere, 3.89 RPG, almost a run and a half less than the White Sox (5.21 RPG). Chicago is 10-3 the last 13 vs. the AL Central and 12-4 the last 16 on the road. KC is 1-4 the last five vs. the AL Central and 1-5 the last six at home. Take the White Sox. Thank you.
09-04-20	Bucks v. Heat +5.5		100-115	Win	100	8 h 16 m	Show
Take Miami. This is my GAME 3 WINNER. Game 738. 3:30 pm pst. Miami is 6-0 SU and ATS this postseason. They are 4-1 both SU and ATS vs. Milwaukee in the 2019/2020 campaign. Giving this team this many points is a mistake. The Bucks are just 4-9 ATS the last 13 games playing on one days rest while the Heat are 4-0 ATS the last four contests on one days rest. Take Miami. Thank you.
09-04-20	Blue Jays -117 v. Red Sox		8-7	Win	100	6 h 44 m	Show
Take Toronto. This is my AL EAST BEST BET. Game 963. 1:10 pm pst. Toronto, which is now ties with New York for second place in the AL East at 20-16, is starting to heat up, winning six of their last eight outings. Boston continues to sink deeper into the abyss, riding a four-game slide, and dropping seven of their last 10 to take a true foothold of last place in the AL East at 12-26. As a matter of fact, the Red Sox own the AL's worst record. Roark (2-1) and Godley (0-3) get the starts today. The only thing worse than their erratic offense, is Boston's pitching, ranking 30th, with a Team ERA of 6.13. Take the Blue Jays. Thank you.
09-03-20	Diamondbacks v. Dodgers -1.5		1-5	Win	100	11 h 59 m	Show
Tale Los Angeles on the RUN LINE. This is my NL WEST BEST BET. Game 916. 6:40 pm pst. Los Angeles has taken four in a row over Arizona five of the six meetings in 2020, by an average of 3.8 RPG. Weaver (1-5, 8.23) and Kershaw (4-1, 1.80) square off here. LA ranks second in scoring (5.61 RPG) and first in Team ERA (2.71), while Arizona accounts for just 4.14 RPG (24th) and has a team ERA of 5.00 (21st). The Diamondbacks are 1-10 the last 11 vs. the NL East and 1-12 the last 13 overall. take the Dodgers on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
09-03-20	White Sox -130 v. Royals		11-6	Win	100	10 h 34 m	Show
Take Chicago. This is my DOUBLE PLAY game. Game 913. 5:05 pm pst. Chicago has taken five of the six meetings with Kansas City in 2020, lighting up the Royals fo over 6.5 RPG. Dylan Cease (4-2, 3.00) and Danny Duffy (2-2, 4.11) get the starts today. The White Sox account for more than a full run per game than does the Royals (5.05/3.84). Chicago is 11-4 the last 15 on the road, 13-3 the last 16 vs. LH starters, and 9-3 the last1 2 vs. the AL Central. Take the White Sox. Thank you.
09-03-20	Central Arkansas v. UAB -20		35-45	Loss	-110	11 h 48 m	Show
Take UAB. This is my TOUCHDOWN PLAY. Game 248. 5:00 pm pst. UAB, which is the clear favorite to win the CUSA, are 4-0 vs. FCS foes under Bill Clark, winning by an average of 28.0 PPG. They return 18 starters, including their top passer, top rusher, top WR, and their top five tacklers. Central Arkansas, which did win their opener against Austin Peay last Saturday, comes off a short week. In that game, they had 11 trips inside the 35 yard line and six times walked away without a single point. They now must face a far more experienced and superior defense here. Expect the Blazers, with their impressive "O" to move the chains often and keep the Bears "D" on the field and tired. Look for them to come out on a mission especially after finishing last season with two poor outings. UAB is 20-7-1 ATS the last 28 at home and 4-1 ATS the last five in the month of September. Take the Blazers. Thank you.
09-03-20	Cubs -152 v. Pirates		2-6	Loss	-152	3 h 58 m	Show
Take Chicago. This is my TV GAME WINNER. Game 901. 10:35 am pst. The Cubs have taken all five meetings with the Pirates in 2020, including Games 1 and 2 of this series. they are one of baseball's best road teams at 12-6 away from home. Mills and Brubaker are on the mound today. Pittsburgh has struggled all season (last place in the NL Central at 10-24) are on a 1-5 slide. The Cubs are 16-5 the last 21 vs. teams with a winning percentage under .400 and 17-7 the last 24 as a favorite. Take Chicago. Thank you.
09-02-20	Padres -1.5 v. Angels		11-4	Win	100	10 h 29 m	Show
Take San Diego on the RUN LINE. San Diego, the busiest team this trade deadline, is making a real push in the NL. very quietly, this squad ranks first in scoring (5.70 RPG), third in Team BA (.266), second in HR's (67), and second in SB's (31). Los Angeles, on the other hand, has not even reached the low expectations we had for them. Lamet (2-1, 2.35 ERA) takes the hill. the team is 5-2 in the RH's starts in 2020. Teheran gets the nod at home. The RH is 0-2 with a whopping ERA of 9.17. The Padres are 5-1 the last six on the road, 5-1 the last six IL games, and 11-3 the last 14 overall. The Angels are 3-7 the last 10 at home, 1-6 the last seven IL games, and 1-6 the last seven vs. the NL West. Take San Diego on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
09-02-20	Rangers v. Astros -1.5		1-2	Loss	-100	9 h 6 m	Show
Take Houston on the RUN LINE. Prior to yesterday's, 6-5 loss, Houston took the previous seven consecutive meetings with Texas. Look for a bounce back here as Allard (0-3, 6.50 ERA, three straight losses) goes up against Javier (3-1, 3.77 ERA, 3-1 last four starts). The Astros offense averages 5.32 RPG compared to the 3.71 RPG accounted for by the Rangers lineup. Texas is 1-9 the last 10 at Houston, 1-6 the last seven on the road, and 1-8 the last nine vs. RH starters. Take Houston on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
09-02-20	Tigers +152 v. Brewers		5-8	Loss	-100	3 h 58 m	Show
Take Detroit . Detroit, which has won six straight including Game 1 of this series on Tuesday, 12-1, is running hot. Spencer Turnbull (3-2, 2.97 ERA) hasn't allowed more than three runs in any appearance this season. Adrian Houser (1-3, 4.36 ERA) is 0-3 with a ND in his last four starts. The Tigers account for more than a full RPG than does the Brewers (4.97/3.89). Detroit is 6-0 the last six IL road games and 6-1 the last seven vs. the NL Central. Milwaukee is 1-5 the last six IL home games and 1-4 the last five vs. the AL Central. Take the Tigers. Thank you.
09-01-20	Cardinals v. Reds UNDER 8.5		16-2	Loss	-102	9 h 16 m	Show
Take the UNDER in the Cardinals/Reds matchup. This is my BB play. Games 901/902. 3:40 pm pst. neither one of these teams are smashing the cover off the ball with any consistency. And with two solid pitchers going today in Kwang-hyun Kim (1-0, 11.08 ERA in 16.2 IP) and Sonny Gray (5-1, 1.94 ERA in 41.2 IP), you can expect a low-scoring game here especially after last night's, 17 hit/12 run contest. Prior to that, five of the last seven meetings all went under the total. The UNDER is 4-1-1 in the Cardinals last six games played vs. the NL Central and 4-1 in the Reds last five games played vs. teams with a losing record. Take the UNDER. Thank you.
09-01-20	Celtics v. Raptors -1		102-99	Loss	-110	8 h 58 m	Show
Take Toronto. This is my CTB play. Game 724. 2:30 pm pst. Toronto, which finished the regular season with the NBA's second best record, was humiliated in Game 1. Boston had success against them in the regular season, taking three of four meetings, both SU and ATS. The Raptors shot just 37% overall from the floor and a mere 25% from beyond the arc in the opener, while the Celtics shot 47% and 44% in the same categories. Look for Toronto to bounce back here and even the series with a line under a basket, we must take the favorite here. Boston is 2-5 ATS the last seven playoffs games as an underdog. Toronto is 6-2 ATS the last eight games played as a favorite, 24-9-1 ATS the last 34 games played following an ATS loss, and 10-4-1 ATS the last 15 games played overall. Take the Raptors. Thank you.
08-31-20	Heat v. Bucks -5		115-104	Loss	-110	9 h 40 m	Show
Take Milwaukee. Can you say revenge? Miami is the only eastern Conference team to win a season series with Milwaukee this year (2-1). The Heat will be at a disadvantage here having to play the NBA's No. 1 scoring offense coming in a little bit rusty here having not played since August 24th. They also enter this matchup the more banged-up squad with several questionable players and a few for sure absences. The Bucks are healthy and fresh. Look for Giannis Antetokounmpo to get the better of Jimmy Butler. Miami is 2-8 ATS the last 10 games as an underdog, 1-6 ATS the last seven playoff games as an underdog , and 4-12 ATS the last 16 games following an ATS win. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.
08-30-20	Celtics v. Raptors -2		112-94	Loss	-110	3 h 9 m	Show
Take Toronto. We see the two best defenses in the NBA square off here. They've both last played on the 23rd. Toronto does possess a more potent offense and is a bit healthier. The Raptors play their best basketball when facing good opponents as they are 5-1 ATS the last six games vs. teams with a winning percentage above .600. They also shine in the playoffs, going 6-2 ATS the last eight post-season games as a favorite. The Celtics are just 1-3-1 ATS the last five games vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600, 2-5 ATS the last seven playoff games as an underdog, and 0-4 ATS the last four Conference Semi Final games. Take Toronto. Thank you.
08-29-20	Blazers +13.5 v. Lakers		122-131	Win	100	12 h 10 m	Show
Take Portland. Game 705. 6:00 pm pst. There's no question that James and Davis are one of the best 1-2 punches in basketball today. Portland took Game 1 and embarrassed Los Angeles. The Lakers came back to win the next three games. In Game 4, the Blazers lost their top-scorer and team leader, Lillard and did not have time to make adjustments resulting in a 20-point drubbing. This is a team with a smart coaching staff that has had ample time to prepare for the absence of their top player. LA only needs to win this game, not to cover this huge point spread. Look for their top players to sit late if they have if they have the game in hand. I see Portland showing some fight and some pride in a valiant effort. Take the Blazers. Thank you.
08-29-20	Magic v. Bucks -13.5		104-118	Win	100	7 h 1 m	Show
Take Milwaukee. Game 702. 12:30 pm pst. The Magic backdoored their way into the playoffs and in Game 1, Milwaukee took the matchup lightly and got surprised. The embarrassment prompted the Bucks to decimate the Magic in Game 2, 3, and 4. Look for the NBA's top-scoring team to light up the scoreboard here, finish out the series, and remind everyone just who they are. Orlando is 1-5 ATS the last six meetings with Milwaukee, 1-4 ATS the last five games played on one days rest, and 3-7 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.
08-29-20	Royals v. White Sox -152	Top	9-6	Loss	-152	4 h 18 m	Show
Take Chicago. With nine wins over their last ten games, Chicago is now tied with Cleveland and Minnesota for the top spot in the AL Central at 20-12. They have taken all four meetings with Kansas City in 2020. This is a team with one of the best lineups and pitching staffs in the Majors. Dylan Cease (4-2, 3.13) and Brady Singer (1-3, 5.16) square off here. The Royals, which have dropped seven of their last 10, have failed to produce both on the mound and at the plate. Take the White Sox. Thank you.
08-29-20	Twins -1.5 v. Tigers		2-8	Loss	-100	3 h 26 m	Show
Take Minnesota. Despite coming in here off two losses, Minnesota is tied for the AL Central lead with Chicago and Cleveland.. Playing Detroit is just what is needed to get back on track. This is the first meeting between these two teams in 2020, but the Twins have taken five in a row and eight of the last nine meetings. Going back a bit further, they are 20-7 the last 27 matchups in Detroit. RH randy Dobnak has not allowed more than two ER's in any of his starts this season en route to a 5-1 record with a 1.78 ERA. Matthew Boyd dons an 0-4 mark with an 8.48 ERA. The LH has yielded 39 hits in 28.2 IP. Minnesota is 35-17 the last 52 games played on the road, 5-2 the last seven games played vs. the AL Central, and 7-3 the last 10 games played overall. Detroit is 19-62 the last 81 games played at home, 15-52 the last 67 games played vs. the AL Central, and 15-36 the last 51 games played during Game 1 of a series. Take the Twins. Thank you.
08-28-20	Dodgers -1.5 v. Rangers		2-6	Loss	-139	8 h 29 m	Show
Take Los Angeles. Baseball's top scoring team (5.70 RPG) goes into Global Life Park to take on its poorest scoring team (3.60 RPG). Dustin May (1-1, 2.79 ERA) and Mike Minor (0-5, 6.75 ERA) get the nod here. Look for this one to get ugly and way out of hand as the Dodgers are 7-1 the last eight interleague road games, 8-1 the last nine vs. the AL West, and 10-1 the last 11 vs. LH starters. Take Los Angeles on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
08-28-20	Cubs -125 v. Reds		5-6	Loss	-125	8 h 41 m	Show
Take Chicago. Look for the Cubs to bounce back here against a Reds team that they have beaten in two of three meetings in 2020. After a four-game skid, Cincy beat Milwaukee the last two outings but the Brewers lineup is in a funk. RH, Hendricks faces LH, Miley. The Chicago hurler has allowed just three ER's or less in five of his six starts. The Cubs are 5-2 the last seven on the road, 14-6 the last 20 as a favorite, and 6-2 the last eight vs. LH starters. Take Chicago. Thank you.
08-28-20	Mets v. Yankees -140		6-4	Loss	-140	6 h 51 m	Show
Take the Yankees. The Mets have played the Yankees tough the last few seasons. But the Yankees will come in here with a bargain price as the odds makers are looking at their current five-game slide and the fact that Jordan Montgomery is on the mound. However, the team is 10-4 at home this season and 3-1 in Montgomery's starts in 2020. The Mets are 1-6 the last seven vs. LH starters and 1-5 the last six during Game 1 of a series. The Yankees are 65-23 the last 88 at home and 8-3 the last 11 during Game 1 of a series. Take the Yankees. Thank you.
08-26-20	A's -138 v. Rangers		3-1	Win	100	10 h 56 m	Show
Take Oakland. Oakland has taken four of five meetings with Texas in 2020. These are two teams heading in opposite directions. The A's are perched atop the AL West with a 4.0 game lead, at 21-10. The Rangers, which have dropped nine of their last 10, are tied for third place with the Mariners, 9.0 GB, at 11-18. The team is 5-1 in Mike Fiers' starts in 2020. The RH is 3-1 on the campaign and has already notched a win over Texas at the beginning of the month. LH Kolby Allard (0-2, 7.82 ERA) is expected to start here. The A's are 43-17 the last 60 games played vs. the AL West. the Rangers are 0-5 ATS the last five vs. RH starters. Take Oakland. Thank you.
08-25-20	Royals v. Cardinals -1.5		5-4	Loss	-109	8 h 0 m	Show
Take St. Louis on the Run Line. Winners of three straight, St. Louis is starting to stride. Meanwhile, Kansas City, losers of three straight, continues to disappoint. The Cardinals took the last four meetings over the Royals by the average margin of 5.25 RPG. Harvey (0-1, 9.00 ERA) goes up against Wainwright (2-0, 2.00 ERA). KC is 3-7 the last 10 interleague games. St. Louis is 35-16 the last 51 as a favorite. Take the Cardinals on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
08-25-20	Jazz -2.5 v. Nuggets		107-117	Loss	-105	6 h 10 m	Show
Take Utah. After dropping Game 1, Utah has bounced back strongly to take Games 2, 3, and 4. Sundays meetings was too close for comfort for the Jazz. So, look for the team with momentum to finish off the series here. The Nuggets are 5-13 ATS the last 18 Conference QF games, 2-7 ATS the last nine games following an ATS win, and 1-4 ATS the last five games on one days rest. Take the Jazz. Thank you.
08-25-20	Angels v. Astros -136		3-6	Win	100	4 h 58 m	Show
Take Houston. Houston has taken three of four this season over Los Angeles. The Astros are one of baseball's best home teams at 11-4 at Minute Maid Park. Meanwhile the Angels, which own the AL's worst overall record (9-21) also sport the Majors worst overall road record (4-12). LH, Jose Suarez is 0-1 with an ERA of 33.75. He gave up five earned runs on five hits in just 1.1 IP in his only outing. RH, Christian Javier is 2-1 with a 3.55 ERA in 2020, with 26 K's in 25.1 IP. On both sides of the field, Houston is far superior. The Angels are 15-36 the last 51 on the road and18-46 the last 64 overall. The Astros are 48-17 the last 65 at home and 9-3 the last 12 overall. Take Houston. Thank you.
08-24-20	Pacers v. Heat -6	Top	87-99	Win	100	8 h 20 m	Show
Take Miami. Miami is one win away from a sweep over Indiana. Playing in their backyard certainly benefits the team. The Heat have dominated the Pacers in just about every aspect of the game, thus resulting in the average margin of victory coming by 10.0 PPG. With the Milwaukee/Orlando series going at least two more games, this is an opportunity for Miami to finish the series and get a bit of extra time to rest and prepare before round 2. This is a team that is making nearly 15 three-pointers and going to the line 35 times a contest in this round. Five players are accounting for 15 or more PPG in this series. Butler and Dragic are scoring at will her5e. The Pacers are 1-5 ATS the last six vs. the Heat and 0-5-1 ATS the last six a playoffs underdog. Take the Heat. Thank you.
08-24-20	Rockets -2.5 v. Thunder		114-117	Loss	-110	6 h 3 m	Show
Take Houston. After winning Games 1 and 2, Houston got thumped in game 3 of this series. I look for the Rockets to bounce back here, strongly. This is a team that is 7-3 ATS the last 10 Conference QF games. Oklahoma City is talented, no doubt about that. But, the Thunder have problems stringing together solid consecutive performances as they are 0-4 ATS the last four following a SU winner. Game 3 had Dort on Harden. Harden, one of the best in the game today, will prep for that adjustment today. Take Houston. Thank you.
08-23-20	Nuggets v. Jazz -3		127-129	Loss	-104	9 h 27 m	Show
Take Utah. Utah has taken Games 2 and 3 of this series with authority. The Jazz are averaging 18 made 3-pointers per game in this series and have shot 45 % or better in both victories. A combination of slow starting and failure to defend the "3" is crushing Denver. The Nuggets are 0-4 ATS the last four on one days rest and 1-4 ATS the last five overall. The Jazz are 4-1 ATS the last five on one days rest and 20-9-1 ATS the last 30 following a SU win. Take Utah. Thank you.
08-21-20	Clippers -5 v. Mavs		130-122	Win	100	11 h 53 m	Show
Take LAC. Los Angeles won and covered all four meetings with Dallas this season before Wednesday's wire-to-wire loss. The second-seeded Clippers must and will bounce back here to take control of this series. This is a very healthy team that can do it at both ends of the court. LA is 5-1 ATS the last six meetings in this series, 11-5 ATS the last 16 as a favorite, and 8-3 ATS the last 11 overall. Dallas is 2-6 ATS the last eight on one days rest, 1-4 ATS the last five following a SU win, and 3-7 ATS the last 10 overall. Take the Clippers. Thank you.
08-21-20	Tigers v. Indians -1.5		10-5	Loss	-100	9 h 53 m	Show
Take Cleveland on the RL. Cleveland, which is riding a six-game win streak, swept Detroit in the earlier series, 3-0, outscoring the Tigers, 21-11. They have now taken 10 straight over their AL Central rivals. On a nine-game slide, Detroit is posting just 4.43 RPG and ranks 30th in baseball with a Team ERA of 6.03. Cleveland ranks first in Team ERA at 2.50. The Tigers are 8-45 the last 53 meetings with the Indians, 15-41 the last 56 on the road, and 38-108 the last 146 overall. Take the Indians on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
08-21-20	Celtics -5 v. 76ers	Top	102-94	Win	100	8 h 18 m	Show
Take Boston. Boston, which has won and covered both meetings in this series is getting it done both with their superior defense and their stellar outside shooting. Jayson Tatum (32.5 PPG) and Jaylen Brown (24.5 PPG) are too much for a 76ers team that is sorely missing Ben Simmons right now. The Celtics are 14-5 ATS the last 19 meetings in this series and 14-2-1 ATS the last 21 Conference QF games. The 76ers are 2-6 ATS the last eight on one days rest and 3-7 ATS the last 10 overall. Take Boston. Thank you.

Take Cleveland on the RUN LINE. 4:05 pm pst. As the season progresses, we can clearly see Cleveland (15-9) making a play in the AL Central, while Pittsburgh is not just in last place in the NL Central, but sports the worst record in all of baseball at 4-16. While it really doesn't matter which pitchers for either team gets to start here, I do like the expected, Shane "Don't call me Justin" Bieber against Trevor Williams. RH, Bieber is off to the best start of his career (30-13, 3.49 ERA lifetime) at 4-0 with an ERA of 1.30, fanning whopping, 54 batters in 34.2 IP. RH, Trevor Williams is just 1-3 with an ERA of 3.89 this season and has gotten very little run support and even less help from the league's 26th ranked pitching staff (Team ERA of 5.51). The Indians, which come off a three-game sweep of the Tigers, have seen their lineup come alive, while their top-ranked pitching staff (2.78 Team ERA) has been stellar. Pittsburgh is 1-7 the last eight home games and 1-12 the last 13 interleague games. Cleveland is 7-0 the last seven road games and 4-0 the last four games vs. RH starters. Take the Indians on the RUN LINE. Thank you.
