This series is tied 1-1 after Utah took game two, 124-105 over the Nuggets. Donovan Mitchell has been amazing for the Jazz. Mitchell had 57-points in a losing game one effort and then chipped-in another 30-points in the game two win. What made the difference for Mitchell was how he got more of his team mates involved in game two and didn't need to shoulder all the scoring himself. The Jazz put it all together in game two with both offense and defense. The Nuggets found the Jazz defense tough to get good shots in game two. I don't see that changing here in game three. Jazz have found what works and will do it again here. I'm taking the UNDER today.

One of the two finals here in the UEFA Europa Champion's League. This should be a great matchup as La Liga's Seville is no stranger to winning this Champion's League. They have done so all five times they have reached the finals with the last in 2016. But what I love here is the UNDER. These are both great defensive clubs. Sevilla has allowed just one goal in their last six matches. Not to be outdone. Inter Milan has conceded just one goal over their last seven. This is an easy pick for me, I'm taking UNDER 2 1/2 goals.

The Portland Trailblazers and LA Lakers play game two of their best of seven series. The Blazers have been basically in the playoffs since they returned, as every game was crucial to them making the postseason. They did so by beating the Grizzlies in a play-in game last Saturday, 126-122. The Blazers shocked the Lakers in game one, taking the opening stanza of this series. Damian Lillard has been unstoppable, as he collected 34 points in the game one victory. The Lakers could see the return of Rajon Rondo, who has been cleared to play and is day-to-day. Still, the Blazers will continue to pile on the points as they have done since returning to play. The Lakers will have to match the here on Thursday. Take the OVER.

The St Louis Cardinals got a break due to a Covid-19 positive test, but they are back. The Cardinals have just 13 games under their belt and area 6-7, but in 3rd place in the NL Central. Adam Wainwright has pitched very well for the Cards this year in his two starts. Wainwright is 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA and a 0.818 WHIP. The Cincinnati Reds are in 4th place in the NL Central with a 10-12 record. Sonny Gray gets the start today. Gray is 4-1 in his five starts with a 2.05 ERA and 0.913 WHIP this season. Great pitcher's duel here today, but I'll take the UNDER.

Cleveland Indians continue to keep pace with the Twins in the AL Central. The Twins are in first place with a 16-9 record and the Indians are right behind with a 15-9 record. The Indians have arguably the overall best pitching staff right now, allowing just 66 total runs (Best in the Majors). The Indians staff will face the light hitting Pirates today. Pittsburgh is in last place in the NL Central with a 4-16 record and have the worst record in baseball. They have just 78 runs and a -42 run differential. Shane Bieber goes today for the Tribe. Bieber is 4-0 in his five starts with a nifty 1.30 ERA and 0.721 WHIP. He's also KO'd 54 and walked just six. Trevor Williams starts for the Pirates and even though he hasn't pitched poorly, he is 1-3 in his four starts. Williams has a 3.98 ERA and 1.229 WHIP. In fact, he hasn't allowed more than three runs in any start this season. Can't lay the enormous price on the Indians here, but I will take the UNDER.

Total line has dropped in this series as Vegas looks to close out the Hawks and move on in the playoffs. Vegas led 3-0 in this series but lost game four, 1-2. That despite having 48 shots on goal, more than double the shots of Chicago. Blackhawks goalie Crawford just was not to be beaten in game four as he was the reason for the win. Game one started at 6 1/2 and now we see a 5 1/2. Vegas continues to put on pressure and shots and I look for that luck in game four to go away here tonight for the Hawks. Vegas will score in this game and with a goal or two from Chicago it should go over quite easily. Play OVER.

The Baltimore Orioles have been a surprise team thus far with a 12-10 season. They have won seven of their last 10 games. They will face the Toronto Blue Jays that are right behind them in the AL East with a 8-11 record. Toronto will start Nate Pearson today. Pearson has not been very good with a 5.11 ERA and 1.460 WHIP in his three starts. Wade Leblanc will oppose for the O's. Leblanc has four starts and is 1-0 with a 7.13 ERA and 1.472 WHIP. Neither of these pitchers have had much success this year. I expect his game to be a high scoring one. Play the OVER.

Detroit Tigers sitting in 4th place in the AL Central with a 9-10 record. The Tigers have lost five straight games and six of their last 10. They have one of the higher runs allowed numbers in the AL in 105. Today's starter has given up his share of run. Matt Boyd is 0-2 in his four starts with a lofty 10.24 ERA and 1.965 WHIP. Boyd has allowed 14 runs over his last 9 1/3 innings with six walks and just 10 KO's. The White Sox will counter with Gio Gonzalez here today. Gonzalez is 2-1 on the season with a 4.26 ERA and 2.052 WHIP. The WHIP is high mainly because he's allowed seven walks compared to just 11 KO's. I expect a lot of runs in this one today. Play the OVER.

NBA playoffs begin today with the Sixers taking on the Celtics. The Sixers finished 6th in the East with a 43-30 record. Still, can't help but believe they underachieved this season as more was expected from them. Philly finished losing three of their last four games. The Celtics were the third seed in the East with a 48-24 record. Boston has won four of its last five games. Today, I'm looking at the UNDER. The Celtics have toned down the scoring in the playoffs, with six of their last eight playoff games going UNDER. I look for these clubs to play a bit slower paced game then we've seen recently. With that, I'm taking the UNDER here in game 1.

Winner of this match between Lyon and Manchester City will advance to the Semifinals of the Champion's League. Manchester City is coming off a win over La Liga Champion Real Madrid. Lyon upended Italian Series A champion, Juventus. The winner of this game has the unenviable task of taking on Bayern Munich next week. City finished second in the Premier league and exited at the semi-final stage in the FA Cup. City has now won six of their last seven overall matches. Most impressive is that they have allowed just four goals during those six games. Both these teams coming off impressive wins. Still, City has much more pedigree coming into this one then the French side does. Lyon finished 7th in Ligue 1 and had lost four consecutive matches from the end of the break to the start. I'm impressed most with the City defense. I'm taking this one to go UNDER.

Tight race at the top of the NL West, with the Rockies and Dodgers tied for first and the Padres two games back. The Diamondbacks have climbed out of the cellar and now are 4th with a 8-11 record. The Padres start their best pitcher in Dinelson Lamet. Lamet is 2-0 in his four starts with a 1.61 ERA and 0.850 WHIP. Lamet has 28 KO's and just seven walks so far this year. The D'backs will counter with Merrill Kelly. Kelly is having a fine season too with a 2-1 record in his three starts. Kelly has a 2.29 ERA and 0.966 WHIP and has walked just one batter in 19 2/3 innings with 15 KO's. I like this game to go under here tonight. Play UNDER.

Tampa Bay has moved into second place in the AL East, just one game back of the Yankees thanks to a 6-game win streak. The Rays have the most runs in the AL (107) and are tied with the Dodgers overall in MLB. Trevor Richards gets his first start of the season here today. Richards is 0-0 on the season with a 5.79 ERA and 1.82 WHIP out of the pen. Toronto is now playing out of their home in Buffalo and is 6-9 on the season and has lost seven of their last 10 games. Tanner Roark gets the start today for the Jays with a 1-1 record in his two starts. Roark has a 5.63 ERA and 1.375 WHIP. Rays keep hitting the ball well and the Jays should get their share today off Richards. I'm taking the OVER here today.

Star of the NHL playoffs has Montreal playing Philadelphia. Philly looked great in their opening round robin play, winning all three games. In addition the defense and goaltending was excellent with three games allowing just one goal in each game. Montreal was 2-1 in series vs the Penguins. This sets up what looks to be a great defensive battle in this series. As such, I look for game one to go UNDER.

Chicago Cubs off to an excellent start at 11-3 on the season and 1st place in the NL Central. The Cubs had a few days off as the Cardinals series was postponed due to Cardinals having the Covid virus. They opened their series with the Indians with a easy win on Tuesday. Kyle Hendricks gets the start today. Hendricks is 2-1 in his three starts with a 3.54 ERA and 0.935 WHIP. Hendricks has two excellent starts and one poor start thus far. The Indians will counter with Carlos Carrasco. Carrasco is 2-1 in his three starts with a 2.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Both these pitchers very good overall. The Indians have been a great under team, with 15 of their last 18 games going under. They are also 1-4 O/U in their last five vs the National League. Take UNDER.

Not much to play for here in this early Wednesday start between the Pacers and the Rockets. Pacers are in 5th place in the East and the Rockets are in 4th place in the West. Should stay that was as we head into the playoffs. I don't expect either team to be fully vested in this contest as they rest up for the upcoming playoffs. I'm taking UNDER.

This should be a wild game as the highest scoring team from the Italy Series A and French league's matchup here on Wednesday. Atalanta broke scoring records in Series A play with 96 goals. Paris Saint German (PSG) were Ligue 1 champions in a shortened season. The French champs have won their last five games. First ever meeting between these clubs today. PSG will be without some key players due to injuries and suspensions. I look for plenty of goals in this one. Take the OVER

Start of the NHL playoffs has the top seed in the West, Vegas, playing the bottom seed in Chicago. The Blackhawks had a big scoring series with Edmonton and it won't get any less here against Vegas. Vegas scored well in all three of their round robin games and they did so with arguably their top player in Max Pacioretty. Pacioretty is back now and that just means more scoring power for Vegas. I look for this entire series to be high scoring and it starts tonight. Play the OVER.

Chicago Cubs off to an excellent start at 10-3 on the season and 1st place in the NL Central. The Cubs had a few days off as the Cardinals series was postponed due to Cardinals having the Covid virus. Now they return to action at Cleveland. Veteran Jon Lester gets the start. He looked like his young self thus far, with a 1-0 record in two starts and a 0.82 ERA. While he doesn't strike out all that many anymore, his control is still very good. The Cleveland Indians are 3rd in the AL Central with a 10-7 record. The Indians have won four straight games. The Indians have also allowed a league low 37 total runs. Adam Plutko starts today for the Tribe. Plutko has one start and that was against the White Sox. He went six innings and allowed just two runs. Both these pitchers are solid and the the way the Indians have playing under, it's difficult to go against here Play UNDER.

 Despite their bout with the Covid bug, the Miami Marlins are 7-3 and have the best winning percentage in the NL East. They have lost two straight game however. Elieser Hernandez will make his second start of the season. Hernandez went 4 1/3 innings in his first start vs the Orioles and allowed no runs and just two hits for the WIN. Toronto is just 5-8 to start the season and has scored just 39 runs, lowest in the A.L. Hyun-Jin Ryu came of from the Dodgers and had his best start of the season in his last outing vs the Braves. Ryu went five innings and allowed just one hit and not runs. Don't expect many runs in this one tonight. Ryu is quality and the Jays are struggling for runs. Play UNDER.

Europa League Quarter-finals has Sevilla vs Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton Wanderers finished 7th in the English Premier league, their second season back at the top tier. They are coming off a win over Olympiakos, 1-0 to advance to today's contest. This is a defense first team and not very flashy in their style of play. Sevilla looked very good in their win over a very good Roma team, 2-0. This game looks to be a tough defensive battle today so I'll go UNDER.

Seattle has jumped into the top spot in the WNBA with a 6-1 record. They have won four straight games, scoring at least 80 points in three of those. The Chicago Sky are in third place in the standings with a 5-2 record. The Sky are one of the highest scoring teams in the league with a 88.7 ppg average. They also give up a lot of points, allowing 85.9 ppg. Highest total on the board here tonight in this game and rightfully so. Both teams can score and score a lot. I'm taking the OVER.

Excellent pitching matchup here tonight between the Diamondbacks and Padres. Arizona will start Merrill Kelly who is 1-1 in his two starts. Kelly has a 2.63 ERA and 0.951 WHIP. He held the hard hitting Dodgers to just three runs over six innings and Texas to just one run over 7 2/3 innings. Kelly also has excellent control, walking just one while striking out 11. The Padres will counter with Chris Paddack. Paddack is 2-0 in his three starts with a 2.65 ERA and 0.941 ERA. Also with excellent control, Paddack has allowed just one walk over his 17 innings with 15 KO's. Look for these two pitchers to keep this one low scoring until the late innings. Take the UNDER.

The Cleveland Indians look to rebound from their loss last night to the White Sox,0-2. Th pitching has been great for the Tribe, holding each of their last seven opponents to three runs or fewer. In fact, they had back-to-back shutouts of the Reds before last night's loss. Zach Plesac may be 0-1 in his two starts, but he's pitched well with a 1.80 ERA and 0.533 WHIP. He's allowed just seven total hits and three earned runs over his 15 innings with 17 KO's and just one BB. The White Sox are playing well, having won seven of their last 10 games. They will go with Matt Foster today who has yet to start a game this year. I like the Indians and White Sox to go under here as no one has scored much on this Indians team. Play UNDER

Cleveland is 8-6 to start the season. The Indians have won three straight games and have allowed just 30 total runs over 14 games. They face a White Sox team that sits right behind them in the division with a 7-6 record. The Sox have lost two straight and have a +2 run differential. The Tribe will start Aaron Civale today. Civale has two starts and is 1-1 with a 3.75 ERA and 1.083 WHIP. He's gone six innings in both starts and has 18 total KO's and just one walk. The Sox will have Dylan Cease toe the rubber. Cease is 1-1 in his two starts but has a 6.48 ERA. Cease had a bad first outing but rebounded last time with six innings and just two runs allowed to the Royals. I like this game to be low scoring here tonight. Play the UNDER.

Blue Jays and Red Sox holding down the bottom two positions in the AL East right now, which is strange for both these teams. The Jays are 4-6 after having lost their last game. They have a -10 run differential. The Red Sox are 4-8 and have lost seven of their last 10 games. They also have a -10 run differential. Toronto will start Tanner Roark today who is 1-0 in his only start. Roark went five innings vs the Nationals and allowed three hits and one run. The Sox will counter with Ryan Weber who is 0-2 in his two starts with a 11.57 ERA and 2.429 WHIP. I'm a bit iffy on Weber, but I expect Roark to pitch another fine outing. Let's hope for a better performance tonight out of Weber and with that I'll take the UNDER with these two struggling teams. Play UNDER

Champions League action here on Friday has Manchester City hosting Real Madrid. Look for Madrid to put the pressure on City here as they need at least two scores to hope to advance. That will mean taking more chances which also will translate into counter attacks by City. Manchester City has also looked pretty flat against the better teams this year. For me, I like this game over as Madrid has to push the pace. Play OVER.

The Cleveland Indians are 7-6 here to start the season. The Indians have been relying on their pitching staff thus far, allowing just 30 runs over 13 games (best in AL). They will start Carlos Carrasco today. Carrasco is 1-1 in his two starts with a 3.75 ERA and 1.083 WHIP. Carrasco has pitched well thus far. The Reds are 5-7 to start the season and have lost two straight games. They have allowed 51 runs over their 12 games. The Reds will start their ACE Luis Castillo today. Castillo is 0-1 in his two starts with a 4.50 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Castillo had a great first start, allowing one run over six innings. However, he got roughed up in game two with five earned runs over six innings to the Tigers. Indians have a great pitching staff and the Reds have their ACE going. I like the UNDER here today.

Toronto Raptors are in 2nd place in the Eastern Confernece. They have won six straight games dating back to pre-Covid break. Toronto coming off a win over the Jazz, 101-92 in a low scoring UNDER game. The Magic are coming off a win over the Grizzlies, 120-115. They have gone over in 13 straight games dating back before the break. This really comes down to the Raptors defense vs the Magic offense. I like the Raptors to control the pace of this game and slow the Magic down. These clubs have been very good under plays when they meet, evidenced by their 3-9 O/U record their last 12 meetings. That's what I like here tonight. I'm taking UNDER.

Toronto off to a 3-5 start and has lost three straight games. The Jays had a layoff of four games against the Phillies due to concerns over the Covid virus at Philadelphia. The Jays returned last night and were promptly beaten badly by the Braves 1-10. Hyun-Jim Ryu came over from the Dodgers in the offseason. Ryu has two starts and is 0-1 with a 8.00 ERA and 1.889 WHIP. He'll face the first place Atlanta Braves who are 8-4 and have 69 runs scored this year (tops in baseball). Sean Newcomb will start for the Braves. Newcomb has two starts with a 8.22 ERA. Neither pitcher all that good here and the Braves crushing the ball. They both should get runs here today. Play the OVER

The Chicago Cubs are sitting first in the NL Central division with a 8-2 record. They have won six of their seven home games and have won four in a row overall. The Royals started fast but have cooled since. KC is now last in the AL Central with a 3-8 record, losing four straight games. The offense has been sputtering with just 40 runs over 11 games. The Royals will start Brady Singer today. Singer has two starts but no record. He has gone 10 innings with just four total runs. Kyle Hendricks will counter for the Cubs. Hendricks went nine innings in his first start vs the Brewers, allowing just three hits and no runs. He was hit hard in start two, allowing seven hits and six runs over 4 1/3 innings to the Reds. Despite that bad start, the Royals will be just the medicine for him here today. I'm taking the UNDER.

Battle for Ohio continues here on Tuesday as the Reds host the Indians. The Reds are 5-5 to start the season while the Indians are 5-6. Cleveland ran it's losing streak to four games with the loss on Monday to the Reds, 2-3. The scoring drought continues with just two runs in that game. Indians have lost four straight games in which they scored a total of four runs. In fact, their last six games have easily gone under the total. The Reds will start Tyler Mahle today. Mahle went four innings in his first start, giving up six hits and two runs to the Cubs. Right now pitching is feasting on this anemic Indians hitting. I had the under yesterday and that's what I'm doing here today too. Play the UNDER.

Padres are 6-4 to start their season, having lost two straight games. They return home where they started out 3-1 vs the Diamondbacks. The Padres have scored the most runs in the NL so far with 59. They will face a stingy Dodgers' pitching staff that has allowed only 24 runs thus far and is 7-3 on the season. The Dodgers opened up with two wins over then Giants, then dropped their next to the San Francisco. Since then they are 5-1. Walker Buehler starts for LA after going just 3 2/3 innings in his first start at Houston. He allowed two earned runs in that no decision. San Diego will start Chris Paddack who is 1-0 in two starts. He's allowed two total runs over 11 innings of work with just one walk and 10 KO's. I look for a low scoring game here tonight as Paddock has been excellent and the Dodgers overall staff is one of the better ones. Play the UNDER.

San Antonio Spurs looking to grab one of those last playoff spots sit just outside right now at 9th in the West, 2-games back of the Memphis Grizzlies. The Spurs coming off a big win over these Grizzlies on Sunday, 108-106. That win moved them a bit closer to the Grizzlies for that last playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Sixers sit 6th right now in the East, well ahead of 7th place Orlando. In fact, the Sixers have locked-up a playoff spot. They are coming off a loss to the Pacers, 121-127. I'm not all that impressed with how the Sixers are playing these days. I don't see San Antonio wanting to get into a running and transition game here tonight. That being said, I'm looking at this game to go UNDER the total.

 Battle for Ohio here on Monday has the Reds hosting the Indians. The Reds are 4-5 to start the season while the Indians are 5-5. Cleveland has lost three straight games in which they scored a total of two runs against the Twins. In fact, their last five games have easily gone under the total. The Reds will turn to Sonny Gray. Gray has been excellent thus far, going 2-0 with a 0.71 ERA and allowing just one earned run, four hits, three walks and 20 KO's. The Reds will be without power hitter Joey Votto who has been put on the IR with Covid-19. The Indians will counter with Zach Plesac. Plesac has one start and he went a solid eight innings, allowed three total hits and no runs but still got no decision. Both these pitchers look spot on and with the recent under play by the Indians, I'm sticking with that here on Monday. Play UNDER.

Braves off to an excellent start at 7-3 on the season. They have won five straight games after taking the last two games vs the Rays and the first three of this four game set with the Mets. After a wild game one in which the Braves won 11-10, they have since held the Mets to just one run over the last two games. The Mets are last in the NL East at 3-7. They have been hit hard by injuries to their starting staff. Today though they get their Ace on this hill in Jacob deGrom. deGrom has no record in his two starts. He's gone 11 innings thus far with just four hits and two runs allowed with 12 KO's. Mike Soroka will counter for the Braves. Soroka also has no record in his two starts. Soroka's gone 11 1/3 innings with eight hits and two total earned runs. Both starters are excellent and I like this game to go the way the last two have, under. Play UNDER

Golden Knights looked very strong in their one tune-up game before today. They beat the Arizona Coyotes, 4-1 behind the stellar play of Andre-Marc Fluery. But this team has two top flight goalies and I would be surprised to see either starting here tonight. The Knights will have to rely on their strong defense and goaltending because they are hurting in a couple of the star forwards. Left Wing Max Pacioretty is out with an injury and RW Mark Stone has a lower body injury, but should play. The Dallas Stars are not known for their offensive play. They are a good defensive team with good goal tending. I like this game to go UNDER today.

 Minnesota off to a good start at 6-2 on the season. They have won two straight games and scored 43 runs while allowing just 23. The Indians are 5-4 and have lost two straight while scoring 25 runs and allowing 22. This series has been low scoring with no more than five runs in any of the three games. Aaron Civale starts for the Tribe. Civale went six innings in his first start against the White Sox, allowing just two runs and seven hits. Civale also struck out nine and walked just one. The Twins will start Tyler Clippard. Homer Bailey was scheduled to start but he has been pushed back to Monday for extra rest. Clippard has been a veteran reliever and has been in four innings from the pen this year with one run allowed and three hits. Both teams have excellent pitching staffs and I expect this one to stay true to form. Play UNDER

I hit the under in this game on Friday night, despite some eighth run explosiveness from the Diamondbacks. Dodgers led 3-1 in the 8th before the D'backs rallied for four runs and the eventual win. Not usual for the Dodgers bullpen to give up leads in the late innings. Julio Urias had a solid first outing, going five innings allowing five hits and one run in a no decision to the Giants. Luke Weaver didn't do well in his first start, going just 3 1/3 innings and allowing seven hits and six runs. Dodgers have gone under in six straight now. Arizona is 1-6 O/U in their last seven games. I like the UNDER here tonight. Play UNDER.

The Cleveland Indians shut down the Minnesota bats on Friday, 2-0. Both teams right at the top of the AL Central now. Both teams also doing well pitching as the Twins have allowed just 23 runs in seven games and the Indians have allowed 19 runs. The Twins have the biggest run differential in the AL at +17. Carlos Carraso is 1-0 for the Indians, going six innings and allowing two runs in his win over the Royals. Kenta Maeda, acquired from the Dodgers, also won his opener. Maeda went five innings and allowed two runs to the White Sox. Both these pitchers are good and both teams have not allowed many runs. I'm taking UNDER.

Juventus has locked-up another Series A title. Now they hope to continue their dominance at home where they have won 16 games this year and two draws with no losses. Juve has arguably the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. However, he's behind Ciro Immobile in goals 31-35. My issue with Juve here is that they are in cruise control since winning the title. They have won just twice in their last seven games. They are coming off a loss to Cagliari, 0-2. Still, this team hasn't lost on home soil in 39 straight Series A matches. Roma is stuck in 5th place and that means no Champion's league spot since they trail 4th place Lazio by 11 points with just one game to play. Roma has played well, winning six of their last seven with a draw. Nothing on the line here for either team, but Juve would like to keep that home winning streak. Play  OVER.

NHL begins is short road to the playoffs as the Rangers and Hurricanes hook-up here on Saturday. I am looking for lower scoring games early on in this restart. Hockey is a very physical game and these players won't have their complete game legs under them early on. I see a bit more defensive contests. The Rangers have dominated the Canes in their history, winning 41 of their last 55 meetings. The dog has also won the last six meetings between these teams. I expect this to be a lower scoring contest. Play the UNDER.

Dodgers off to a nice 5-2 start to the season. Their pitching staff has been all the hype that has been laid upon it thus far. But the hitting has really come alive with the addition of Mookie Betts to the leadoff spot. The Dodgers have 37 runs over seven games and have allowed just 17 runs. The D'Backs are just 2-5 and have scored just 20 runs over their seven games while allowing 35. The Dodgers should have little trouble keeping the weak hitting D'backs down in this one. Take the UNDER.

The Astros are just 3-3 to start the season, but they are tied for first as no team in the AL West has more than three wins. They have lost Verlander and it looks like some teams (Dodgers) are doing some head hunting at the same time. The Astros have 33 runs scored, tied for 2nd best in their division. They are the only team in the West that has a plus run differential (+8). The LA Angels are just 2-5 to start the season and have allowed 37 runs over seven games. The pitching has been fair while the hitting has been above average. I'm taking this game over as neither pitching staff is wowing me at this point. Play OVER.

Mets have suffered season ending injuries to their starting pitching and that will hurt this team that was once starter rich. The Mets are 3-4 thus far and allowing 36 runs (9 more then they have scored) so we see already that pitching is an issue. The Braves are 4-3 and have scored 35 runs in their seven games, which is tops in the NL East. This early I'm looking at the over in this contest as the pitching still looking to catch up to the hitting. Play OVER.

The rivalry renews here, even in this shortened season. The Yankees have disappointed at this juncture with a 4-1 record. A bit surprised that all the big bats they have on this club have produced just 26 runs over five games, but that's still over a 5 run per game average. The Red Sox are 3-4 and it looks like they sorely miss Mookie Betts in that leadoff spot to produce runs. The Sox have scored 36 runs, but they have allowed 38 runs. Yankees might have a feast on this Red Sox pitching. I'm taking the OVER.

The Bucks had the NBA best record by far before the break. Can they pick up where they left off after the long off time? The Bucks also lead the NBA in scoring with a 118.6 ppg average. The Bucks will be without guards Bledsoe and Connaughton who both will miss this game after recovering from Covid. The Celtics have plenty of scoring on their team too with Walker, Tatum, Hayward and Brown. The Celtics have done well as a dog, going 20-8 their last 28 in that role. Two teams that can both score in bunches here. Hoping the rust is off both teams as I'm taking OVER here for my total play.

The Padres took three of four games in their first series with the Diamondbacks. In that series they showed that the bats are much improved this year, scoring 21 runs over the four game series. San Francisco actually split their four game series with the Dodgers, this despite allowing 22 runs and scoring just 10 runs. I like this matchup to go OVER the total here on Tuesday evening. Take the OVER.

The Twins banged out some runs in their series against the White Sox, 27 in all for their three game series in which they took two games. The Twins also allowed 17 runs in those three games. Now they face St Louis team that allowed just 10 runs over their three games. The Cardinals did get 15 runs for a 5.0 average. Still, both teams should get plenty of runs here as that 10.5 totals looks a bit too low to me. Play the OVER.

Just one game under their collective belts thus far in this young WNBA season of 22 games, cut short by their bubble after the break. Still, The LA Sparks showed little rust, scoring 99 points in their first game. Meanwhile, the Chicago Sky wasn't a slouch, scoring 88 points in their opening. I look for an over here in this game for Tuesday. Play OVER.

Inter Milan hosting its last game of the summer here on home turf. They face a Napoli team that is coming off a 2-0 win over Sassulo. However, Napoli got quite lucky as four Sassulo goals were overturned via VAR due to offsides. Milan beat Genoa over the weekend 3-0 and have secured a Champion's league return. Napoli has struggled on the road, collecting just four points in their last four Series A road games. Milan sits in second place in the table, just one point ahead of third place Atalanta (who is also in action today). Milan is also undefeated in their last six Series A contests. There should be plenty of goals in this game, but I'm backing the home club here. Play  the OVER.

Semifinals of the England Championship League here on Monday has Fulham playing at Cardiff. Both teams looking to get back into the Premier league and this is the starting point. A win today pushes one team a step closer to the Premier league. Both teams in good form with Fullham not having lost in their last seven matches. Cardiff has been decent too with a 4-2-0 record their last six matches. These teams have been scoring well too, especially when they meet. These teams are both healthy and both evenly matched. Too close to call a winner here, but I look for both clubs to score and get over this total. Play OVER.

First full weekend of baseball is Sunday and Jim Feist has been off to a good start so far with a 3-1-1 record the last two days. Sunday, Jim is going to play this game over between the M's and Astros. So far the overs seem to be getting the money a bit more than the unders. Zack Greinke getting older and these first starts of the season he won't be in any form. I'm taking the OVER here on Sunday.

First full day back of baseball and it should be interesting. I'm taking over here today in the Twins/White Sox matchup. I don't expect starters to go very deep at all in their initial starts. The Twins have a decent bullpen coming off a strong 2019 campaign. Can't say same for White Sox pen. Let's see how these pens hold up today. I don't expect much from them so I'm taking OVER the total.

 Last day of the England Championship league here on Wednesday as Barnsley takes on Brentford. Brentford looking for automatic promotion with a win here today. Also here today Brentford playing their last home game at this site, someplace they have played for 116 years before moving next season. Brentford won the last meeting between these clubs, 3-1. Brentford is the leading scoring team in the league with 79 goals. They also have three players in the top 10 in scoring. Just a 2 1/2 total on this one with the highest scoring team in the league. Looks like an over to me here on Wednesday. 

Two of the hotter Series A teams meet here on Tuesday as AS Milan take on Sassuolo. Sassuolo finally lost in a 1-4 contest to Atalanta after going on a run of eight games without a loss (4 wins, 4 draws). They still trail today's opponent, Milan, by eight points with four games to play. Milan has also been very good, not losing in their last eight matches. Biggest difference is that Milan has dominated this series, winning five of the last seven matches with Sassuolo. They have not lost to the host since 2016. With both teams in good form I look for a lot of goals in this contest. Take the OVER.

A win here on Monday by Juventus should just about put the finishing touches on another Series A title. Meanwhile, any chances Lazio has of a Series A title really rest on a win here today. Juventus leads Lazio by seven points in the table. Though they have drawn their last two games and lost three games ago. They look for their first win in the last four. Same for Lazio, they have a draw and three losses in their last four matches. Problem here today for Lazio is they will be without some key players and are showing some fatigue down the stretch. The Lazio defense has also struggled of late and I don't expect it to get any better here on Monday against the high powered Juventus club.  I expect at least three goals in this contest so take the OVER.

Udinese looks to put some distance between themselves and that dreaded relegation line as they travel to Stadio San Paolo today for a match with Napoli. The visitors have just one win in their last four matches and stand just two spots above that relegation line. Meanwhile, Napoli has not lost at home in their last seven matches. Though they did play to a 2-2 draw in their last match against AC Milan. Napoli has scored at least two goals in each of their last six home Series A matches. This is the spot for Napoli to get off that two draw string they have had lately and get some momentum back under themselves. Take OVER 2 1/2 goals

AC Milan has had their way with the visitors, winning seven of the last eight matches with Bologna. Milan has also been very good at scoring goals, with at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches. They have also gone over in 2.5 goals in their last five Series A matches. Bologna has not been  bad at scoring either, with at least two goals in five of their last six Series A away contests. Milan coming off a 3-1 home win over Parma. Meanwhile, Bologna had a draw in midweek with Napoli. Take the OVER here on Saturday.

Hellas Verona looks to get back on the winning track here on Saturday after four straight losses. Won't be easy against the high scoring Atalanta club here. The visitor has moved into 2nd place in the table. With five games to play Atalanta trails first place Juventus by seven points. Meanwhile, Verona sits ninth in the table, but could finish as good as sixth place. Atalanta is coming off a six goal performance over Brescia. I look for another Atalanta blowout here on Saturday. take the OVER

Inter Milan has moved into second place in the Italy Series A table. Their strong play should continue here on Thursday as they build momentum as the league comes to the end. They shouldn't get much push back from SPAL here on Thursday. SPAL is the worst team in Series A. The offense isn't good as SPAL has failed to score a goal in each of their last three matches. Milan has gone over 2.5 goals in each of its last seven matches. SPAL has gone over 2.5 goals in each of their last five Series A home games, despite a bad offense. I'm taking the OVER here on Thursday, even though I don't expect a SPAL goal. Their defense is so bad that Milan should get this one over by itself. Play OVER.

AC Milan coming off a draw vs Naples, though they had to fight back to get that draw and look outplayed in that match. Parma also came back vs Bologna to grab a point in their match. Parma has gone over 2.5 goals in their last Series A matches. Milan has scored at least two goals in their last six Series A matches. That bodes well for the host here as Parma has conceded at least two goals in each of their last five Series A matches and failed to win all five of those contests. This contest looks to have scores by both clubs and for me, that puts me on the OVER here. Play OVER.

English Premier league action here on Wednesday as Bournemouth plays Manchester City. City has taken the last four against Bournemouth on their home court. They last met in 2019 and City took that meeting too, 3-1. City is in 2nd place in the table with 57 points, though they are coming off a loss to Manchester United, 0-2. Bournemouth is in 18th place in the table. They lost their last match against Liverpool, 1-2. This one comes down to matchup. City has won the last nine Premier League games against Bournemouth by a 28-4 margin. Price a bit high for the home side here so I'll be on the OVER.

Luton Town coming off a big win last time out over Huddersfield, 2-0. That win has kept them alive to stay out of the relegation zone with two points of safety net now on their side. Queens Park Rangers (QPR) have now lost five of their last six games. A big win here on Tuesday will further push Luton Town out of that relegation zone. However, they are also 0-4 in their last four at home. For me, I'm looking at this game to go OVER since we are dealing with two lower echelon teams here in the league. I expect at least three goals in this contest and the total is 2 1/2. Play the OVER.

English Premier action here on Monday has Southampton playing at Manchester United. United looks to grab third place in the Premier league. Southampton will try and put a road block in plans as they look to move closer to eighth place in the league. United has scored at least three goals in each of their last four matches. They have also gone over 2.5 goals in their last four Premier league games. Southampton is playing well of late, but United should get the win here on Monday. That being said, I'm going with the over in this one as both teams get on the board. Play over.

It was a 3-0 Saturday, capped by our Italy Series A Game of the Month winner, a 3-0 shutout by Roma. That makes seven winners in a row and 10-3 the last 13. Sunday, Jim has his sights set on another big Total Annihlator winner after winning both totals on Saturday. Join a Vegas veteran with over 48-years of winning experience and WIN with JIM here on Sunday in Soccer. 

I have to admit, I keep looking for these Atalanta matches to go over and recently they have been going under. That is because this Atalanta team has four straight clean sheets. Sure, they have been scoring, they are one of the highest scoring teams in the Italy Series A league. However, their defense has been keeping the games under. I don't see that here today against one of the best in Series A in Juventus. Juventus would like to forget their last game. They led 2-0 midway through the 2nd half against AC Milan. Then the wheels came off as they allowed four unanswered goals to Milan in a very short time frame. Still Juventus tops the league and now faces third place Atalanta. I don't expect another clean sheet here from the visitor and with that I look for both clubs to score more than enough to get this game over. Play OVER.

English Premier League action here on Saturday has Manchester City taking on Brighton & Hove Albion. Manchester City looks to improve their road play, something that has not been good this year. City has won 17 matches by three or more goals in all leagues and nine matches by four or more goals. So this is a top tier team. They are coming off a blowout win over Newcastle United, 5-0. Yet, seven of their nine losses this year have come on the road, including three straight. Brighton has lost back-to-back home games. The Seagulls are trying to keep from that regulation line. This game should have plenty of goals from a high scoring City club and a Brighton team that hasn't been all that bad this year. I expect at least four goals in this one. Take the OVER.

Aston Villa still looking to stay out of regulation as they sit four points from the line. They are desperately need a win here on Thursday. Meanwhile Manchester United has seen a surge since the return and now sit just one point behind fourth place Leceister City. The Reds are now undefeated in their last 16 overall matches. As for me, I'm sticking with the OVER here in this one. Play OVER.

Manchester City could be accused of having a letdown after a 4-0 thrashing of Premier league champion Liverpool. In their next outing they lost as a big favorite to Southhampton. They will look to get back to their winning ways here on Wednesday vs Newcastle United. Newcastle comes into today's contest unbeaten in their last seven matches. Manchester returns home where they are unbeaten int heir last 15 league games. Moreover, in their last four home games they have a total score of 14-0. Newcastle has been hot of late, winning three in a row and scoring 10 goals over their last four Premier league games. I like Manchester to bounce back here at home after that disappointing loss to Southampton. I'm taking the OVER here.

Normal rest not a thing during this restart. Case in point is Arsenal, which plays on just three days rest. Leicester has been very good since the restart, especially on defense. It's on offense they have struggled a bit. Before the break, they had averaged 1.8 goals per game compared to just 1.6 since the restart. Defense has been about the same, allowing 1.3 goals per game. Arsenal has gone from the 13th best defense to now the 8th best. Defense is where Arsenal has improved greatly since th break. That being said, we have two very good defensive clubs here today. I'm going to take UNDER 2 1/2 goals in this one and take the small dog price of +1.05. Play UNDER

Southhampton has looked good from the return, winning two of their three games. Even though they hit that 40-point threshold, a win would all but guarantee their safety in the Premier League. Manchester City is coming off that big win over Premier Champions Liverpool last Thursday, 4-0. However, in all fairness, Liverpool was hungover from their celebration of winning the Premier League Championship. Manchester just caught them at the right time. Still, City is a quality team and that should show here today. I look for more goals in this one like their last game. I'm taking the OVER.

Atalanta is the best team in Series A Italian soccer. They are also the highest scoring team. I did take a loss on their game over last time out as they won 2-0. In fact, that game was 0-0 at the half and Atalanta came out in the 2nd half and scored two quick goals and we still had a shot at the over with nearly 30 minutes left to play. Just wasn't in the cards though. I'm coming right back here on Sunday and taking them over again. This team is too good and scores too many goals to be content with just two goals they had last time out. Play the OVER.

Chelsea has been a very good over play at home, where they have scored at least three goals in seven of their last eight at home vs Watford. Chelsea has also scored at least two goals in their last six Premier League games. Chelsea needs a win here to stay in the league's top four. Watford has not looked good since returning from the break. I look for Chelsea to get plenty of goals here and maybe get this one over by themselves. Play OVER.

Doesn't take a lot for me to pull the trigger on the over when Bayern Muchich is concerned. This team is very high scoring and they can get totals over by themselves. Leverkusen is no slouch, as both teams has scored at least two goals in nine of their last 10 games. Leverkusen with at least two goals in each of the last three games. This one has all the makings of shootout here on Saturday. Play OVER.

Lecce has been a good over team, with their games going over 2.5 goals in each of their last nine matches. Sassuolo has also been high scoring at home, with their totals going over 2.5 in 13 of the last 14 on their own pitch. They have also scored at least three goals in each of their last Series A matches. Lecce's defense has allowed at least two goals in their last 6 Series A matches. Lecce has had a horrible defense. I'm expecting plenty of goals in this one. Play over.

Big day in the German Bundesliga league here as the first leg of the relegation playoff. Bermen will have to play this match without their key defender in Kevin Vogt, who has been suspended for this match. These teams met earlier in the season and it was Bremen that came out on top, 4-1. Both these teams have an important match here and both can score and have suspect defenses. For me, that's an equation for a good OVER. Play OVER. 

Italian Series A action here on Thursday has Napoli taking on Atalanta. Atalanta hosts this game and has been tough at home, going unbeaten in their last eight matches in Series A. In addition, they have scored at least two goals in each of their last eight league matches. No team has more goals this season than Atalanta. Napoli is holding onto the last European qualifying spot in Series A. In their last contest they beat SPAL, 3-1. It was the fourth game in a row that Napoli has recorded at least two goals. Both these teams have been scoring and I look for that here on Thursday. Take the OVER.

This game has utmost importance to both teams this week. No, not for first place, but to stay above the relegation line. Both these teams are straddling that line right now with the loser coming out on the possible relegation end of the stick. Both these defenses are poor and therefore this one could be a shootout. That is even more evident when you consider 10 of the last 11 meetings have had at least three goals scored. Sampdoria has the edge thought for me as they have won 12 of the last 15 matches with Lecce. In addition, they have won four straight matches at this stadium. With a posted total of 2.75 or 3, that seems like a bargain over play for me. Take OVER.

Italian series A league action here on Wednesday has Brescia taking on Inter Milan. Inter Milan has not lost in its last four games and now faces one of the worst teams in Series A. Since returning from their break, Inter Milan has won two and one draw, coming off a win over Parma 2-1. Brescia is at the bottom of the table and facing relegation. Brescia has a pair of draws since returning to action. Inter Milan has lost just once in their last 11 Series A matches vs Brescia. With Brescia fighting for survival I expect a better effort here today. With that in mind I expect at least three goals in this contest. I'm taking the OVER.

Norwich is the bottom team in the league and face relegation if they don't start putting some points on the board. Arsenal sure didn't look good after returning from the virus break with two consecutive losses. In one contest, vs Manchester City, they failed to even put a shot on goal. Things have turned around thought for Arsenal lately as they have beaten Southhampton and Sheffield United. Now they take on the bottom team in the league in Norwich City. Norwich has lost 20 of 31 and have the league's worst defense. They have allowed 56 goals and also average a league worst, 25 goals. I look for an easy Arsenal win here today as they score at least 3-goals. If we can get just one out of Norwich then we get an over. However, I won't be surprised if Arsenal takes this one over by themselves. Price to steep to lay with Arsenal, so take the OVER.

Italian Series A play here on Tuesday has Juventus taking on Genoa. Jeventus leads the league right now, now 7 points ahead of second place Lazio. They are also coming off a win over Lecce, 4-0. Genoa is coming off a loss to Parma, 1-4. Last time these teams met Jeventus won 2-1 at Turin. Jeventus has a big advantage in this matchup, having 18 wins in their last 28 meetings with six draws. Low total here at 2 1/2 and I look for Jeventus to get this one over by themselves. They are far and above the better team and while Genoa might not light the scoreboard, I believe we should get three or more out of Jeventus. Take the OVER. 

Turkey League action here on Monday in Soccer. Kasimpasa brings a four game winning streak into this contest. The Apaches might be the best team in the league right now. They are also unbeaten in their last six games with one draw. Meanwhile, Genclerbirligi is coming off a 0-2 loss. They are 1 win, 3 losses and one draw int heir last five games. The Genclerbirligi Youth are just that, a young team moving up in class. I look for Kasimpasa to handle them quite easily. I expect Kasimpasa to score in this one, but on the road they could get some pushback and therefore I'm taking the over.

Napoli has been a high streak, not only winning the Coppa Italia but starting with a win over Hellas Verona in their first game back. If we look at Napoli's last six Series A matches, they have five wins against just one loss. Not such good news for SPAL, who has just one win to go with five losses in their last six Series A matches. The last seven matches between these teams has resulted in five wins for Napoli and two draws. While I can't lay the price here with Napoli, I do expect them to get their share of goals and don't be surprised if they get over the total by themselves in this one. Play OVER.

One thing that has been evident as the Premier League has returned to action after a 3-month virus break is that there is player fatigue. We've seen a lot of this already as substitutions has been more frequent as players seem to be losing their legs earlier. That's understandable though. It will take some games to get those "game legs" back under them.  That being said, we have two excellent teams here on Thursday as Manchester City takes on Chelsea. Both teams are solid and in these early games I'm looking for action that will be played closer to the vest and more defensively. Therefore, I'm taking the UNDER here on Thursday. 

Liverpool is close to something that haven't done in over 30 years, that is sealing a Premier League Title.  The Reds are just five points away from doing just that as they host Crystal Palace here on Wednesday. The Crystal Palace Eagles are looking at their best Premeier season ever also here this season. The Eagles are coming off a 2-0 win over Bournemouth last time out. This will be the first Liverpool hosted Premier league game at Anfield since 2017. Liverpool looked very rusty in their 0-0 draw last game and in a return to league play. The Reds also had a few players that needed to be withdrawn early due to fatigue. I'm usually a big fan of Liverpool scoring and overs, but since they are still looking to get their game legs and Crystal Palace will be no pushover here, I'm going to play UNDER in this one. 

 Real Madrid fighting it out with Barcelona for the Spain La Liga title. This race looks to come down to the wire. Madrid has lost two of their last five matches in the Spain La Liga, with both those losses coming on the road. Madrid should have no problems here today on their home turf, a site they have not lost at this year in the La Liga. Meanwhile, Valencia has jus tone win in their last five matches and are coming off a 1-1 contest at home vs Levante. Madrid has won four of the last five in this matchup. The last meeting between these clubs was a 3-1 Madrid win. Both teams should score in this game. I'm looking for the host to pave the way and if we can get one goal out of the visitor, this game should go over. Play the OVER.

Bayer Leverkusen looks to try and get a top 4 finish in the league. Bayer is coming off a 1-1 draw vs Schalke. They have won 10 of their last 17 games. Bayer has been a much better 2nd half team, averaging 1.987 goals per game at home this season. Their totals have averaged right around 3.27 goals per game. Cologne is coming off a 1-2 loss at Union Berlin. They have won just four of their 19 road games this year. The club averages 1.40 goals per game and their totals have come in at 3.6 goals per games. I like this game to go over today. I'm looking at a four game finish here and the total is at 3.25 or 3.5 for this contest. The value for me on the German board today is OVER.

Not much you can say other than this Bayern Munich team can really light up the scoreboard. In their first game back they looked very rusty and un-motivated. However, they have turned that back around since and the scoring has commenced. Bayern looks to add another Bundesliga title to their seven titles already. Fortuna Dusseldorf has been good too, unbeaten in their last six games. We have a high total here at 4, but that should be little trouble for Bayern to get over almost by themselves. Play the OVER.

Last meeting between these clubs back on Nov 24, 2019 was a 4-0 win by Augsburg. Hertha not playing all that well but has improved of late. Hertha not a good come-from-behind team so they will look to get on the scoreboard first here on Saturday. Augsburg has allowed more than two goals per game on the road. They area also looking for that first road win. For me, I don't favor either team in this one and won't be surprised by a draw. I'm taking the over as both teams should score in this one.

Bayer Leverkusen has looked very good since returning from its two-month Covid-19 layoff. They have a pair of away wins over Werder Bremen and Borussia Monchengladbach, scoring seven goals in the process. They are in fourth place with 53 points. Wolfsburg is 6th place with 39 points. Wolfsburg lost their last game at home to Dortmund, but no shame in that against one of the best teams in the league. They did open however with a road win at Augsburg. The home team should score quickly and often in this one. I'm taking the OVER here on Tuesday.

Two rivals meetup here on Tuesday as Dortmund hosts Bayern Munich. Dortmund returned from their layoff with a 4-0 win over Schalke and followed with a win over Wolfsburg, 2-0. That makes six straight winners for the home team here on Tuesday. The club has also not lost a home game since April 2019. Dortmund is one of the favorites to win the Bundesliga title. teeing the German top division up for a fascinating conclusion. A win here on Tuesday could put them within one point of the top spot. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich beat Union Berlin 2-0 and followed that with a 5-2 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. Bayern is also a contender for the crown, sitting just four points out of the top spot. Injuries could be an issue here for Bayern on Tuesday with Thiago Alcantara is yet to make his return to training from a groin injury, Corentin Tolisso and Phillipe Coutinho out and defender Niklas Sule doubtful. Both these teams can attack and this game looks to be the top game of the day. Both teams should light the scoreboard in this one. While I don't like a side, I'll take the OVER.

Leipzig hits the road this week after opening play after the mandatory break with a 1-1 draw with Freiburg last week. That dropped Leipzig into fourth place with 51 points. There's a connection between these clubs as former Leipzig manager Achim Beielorzer now is the head coach of Mainz. It hasn't been an easy road for Mainz, having lost nine of their 16 defeats by two goals or more. Moreover, they lost 0-8 at Leipzig. I expect Mainz to give up quite a few goals here today, plus this game means more to Leipzig. I'm taking the over in what should be a shootout here today.

The rust was pretty evident as German soccer returned last week from a virus-hiatus. Now that the players have a game under their respective belts, I look for a bit closer to form play here today. Bayern Munich had little trouble last week with Union Berlin, but the intensity just wasn't there. Look for that to change here today. Meanwhile, Eintracht struggled in their return in a game to Borussia Monchengladbach. I look for Bayern to return to their high scoring ways here today. I liked them over last week, but the layoff was evident. I expect much more from there here today. Play OVER.

The defending champion Bayern Munich plays at An der Alten Forsterei stadium on Sunday. The host, FC Union Berlin will look to see if they can upend the champions. Union Berlin games have been high scoring, as they allowed three goals in their last match at Freidburg and were knocked out of the German Cup quarterfinals by allowing three goals to Bayer Leverkusen. It won't be easy today against Bayern Muchich. Bayern has won 14 of their last 15 matches in all leagues. That icnludes a 3-0 win at Chelsea in the UEFA Champions league and a blowout win at Hoffenehim, 6-0. In addition, Bayern has been amazing on the road, scoring three goals or more in their last five away league games. Expect this one to be a high scoring affair as Bayern Munich should light the score board. Play the OVER.

Host Schalke looks to get off the bad ride they were on prior to the break in Bundeslia play. Schalke hadn't won in their last six competions since January 17. The last five meetings between these teams have resulted in three goals or more scored in three of those games.  With both teams being well rested coming off this mandatory break and injured players now healed, I like this game to go over the total here today. Play OVER.

Horizon league conference tourney action here today has Wisconsin Green Bay taking on Northern Kentucky in Indianapolis, IN. Wisconsin Green Bay Phoenix are 16-15 S/U and 15-14 ATS on the season. They have won three straight game and have gone under in their last two. That's what I am looking at today, the total in this matchup. While Green bay has been an over team most of the year, the long season and now the grind of daily tourney play seems to be making them more a defensive team. They held Cleveland State to 67 points and Oakland to 63 points in their last two games. The oddsmaker has a 150 total on today's contest, which is high for a college contest. The Northern Kentucky Norse are 21-9 S/U and 16-12 ATS. They have been more of an under team this year, posting an overall 12-16 O/U record. The Norse have gone under in their last two games and held their last three opponents to 59, 59 and 64 points respectively. The two times these teams have met this year have both gone under. Back on Dec 30th they totaled 132 points and then on Jan 31st they only got to 133 points. Well below the 154 and 155 totals posted. Today we see a small reduction in the total to 150, but I still like it under. Play UNDER.

These ACC rivals will play out their regular season tonight as they head to their conference tournament. It's been a terrible season for North Carolina, going 13-17 S/U and 12--18 ATS. They have given up a lot of points too, allowing 70 or more points to each of their last five opponents. Duke is 24-6 S/U and 15-15 ATS on the season. This team can score too, with 88 or more points in three of their last four games. Should be easy pickin's today for Duke against this poor NCU club. The Tar Heels have gone over in five of their last six games. Duke has gone over in seven of their last eight home games and thei

SEC action concludes for both these teams as they will head to tourney action next. Alabama is 16-14 S/U and 19-11 ATS. They have also gone over in their last two games. They are also 6-2 O/U in their last eight games and 3-1-1 O/U in their last five road games. That's what I'm looking at in this game today. Missouri has gone over in seven of their last eight home games and 6-2 O/U in their last eight overall. Moreover, when Missouri has been installed as the favorite, they have gone over in 11 of 16 games. Let's take the OVER here today and enjoy the points. Play OVER.

Big Sky conference here tonight has Idaho State playing Eastern Washington. Idaho State Bengals are 6-20 S/U and 12-12 ATS. The biggest knock against this team is how many points they give up, more than 80 in two of their last three and over 70 in 5 of six and 12 of their last 13. Eastern Washington is 21-8 S/U and 16-11 ATS. The Eagles are 1st in the conference and won't lose here tonight. So don't be surprised if they rest players against this poor Idaho State team. This EWU team has a very good defense, allowing 64 and 51 points in each of their last two games. They have gone under in three straight and five of their last seven. I'm taking the UNDER here tonight. I look for Eastern Washington to hold Idaho to few points but also rest some of their star offensive players tonight. Take the UNDER.

Late Mountain West action tonight on the college hard court. The San Diego State are ranked 5th in college hoops with a 21-1 S/U and 17-10 ATS record. Their lone loss coming just a week ago at home to UNLV, 63-66 as a 13.5-point favorite. I think the Aztecs have been a bit shell shocked losing to UNLV, as they have failed to cover their last two home games. They return on the road here tonight at Nevada. The Aztecs are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games. Tonight though I like the UNDER in this game. The Aztecs have gone under in their last four games, holding three of their last four opponents to 59 or fewer points. Nevada brings a six-game win streak into tonight's contest. The Wolfpack have covered four of their last six. While this is a higher scoring team, I expect the Aztecs to control the tempo tonight and play their defensive half court game. I'm taking the UNDER.
