4* Total Money UNDER Astros/ Tigers

4* Total Money UNDER Sixers/ Raptors 

Taking the NUGGETS to advance. Looking at big games from the Joker- Murray and Milsap. Joker a beast with a near triple double this series. Blazers will need another huge game from CJ and Lilliard and something from Hood if they want to see the Warriors next. Denver a league best 34-7 at home this year. Home court helps. 4* Money Maker DENVER NUGGETS 

Going UNDER the total. Total looked pretty safe in Game 1 until a pair of 3rd period Power Play Goals left total bettors feeling bewildered in a 5-2 game. That was an outlier. Not happening here. Look for Boston to keep up the pressure. They know Carolina battled back from 0-2 down vs the Caps. They don't want to give them any momentum to take home in Game 3. 4* Total Money UNDER Carolina/ Boston

Taking the SHARKS and will also be on the OVER in this Game. Think we see some goals in this series. Will be looking at the Over in most games. Think the series goes 7 and we will have to get a feel for the teams as the series progresses. Tonight, short home fave in what should a goal packed game. 4* Cold Cash SAN JOSE SHARKS 

4* Total Money OVER Blues/ Sharks 

Going OVER the total. Again, we have a pair of pitchers that I cannot back who like to give up runs in bunches. Matt Harvey and Dylan Bundy both with terrible numbers across the board. LAA has gone 4-1-1 over in their last 6 on the road and 8-2-1 over last 10 vs righties. 4* Total Money OVER Angels/ Orioles 

Going OVER the total. You have seen me already on multiple times fade and go against King Felix. Guy is not the same pitcher. I will say it over and over again. Porcello also a nice gas-can with his 5+ ERA on the year. Sox starting to hit and turn around their slow start. Mariners on a 2-8 slide. I know this is a high total, but I am thinking 6-0 in the 2nd and off to the races. 4* Total Money OVER Mariners/ Red Sox 

Taking CLEVELAND. No fans of the Indians. I have future AL Central tickets on the Twins. But getting this number, I have to make a play on the Tribe. We have made some coin backing Oakland. But not a chance we roll the dice on them at this price. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS 

Taking the ROCKETS. I thought this would go 7 games. I know how good Golden State when Durant doesn't play. They are worse when Steph is out. Maybe Curry and Klay have huge games. I think they are begging you to take the points with the Warriors though. 7. Total over-reaction in my eyes. 5 ok - but 7. This game is either a Rockets blow out or Warriors outright and the number doesn't even matter. I'm betting on a Houston romp. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ROCKETS 

Going OVER the total. Have been on KC overs often so far this season. Will do it again tonight as I see Homer Bailey getting the nod on the hill. 4* Total Money OVER Phillies/ Royals 

Taking the TWINS on the RUN LINE. I cannot take a fave at over 2-1. I know we hear people say, well , if you have them at -270 and the line is -225, it's still good value. Laying 2-1 is never good value in my eyes. I just can't do it. I will go RL though. This Tigers offense is not that good. Odorizzi is on another planet lately. And yes, regression will come. But I don't think we see it vs the a light hitting Detroit team. 4* RL Money MINNESOTA TWINS 

Going OVER the total in the State of Texas. Look. Verlander can come out and pitch a total gem. Won't make a difference since this Rangers bullpen is terrible. I think these guys are one of the worse teams in the league. I like Lynn. A solid arm. He will be dealt eventually in the next 2 months. I see at least 10 runs being scored tonight. 4* Total Money Texas/ Houston 

Going TAMPA here. You know I really want to go RL +145. We are just 7-10 showing a slight 40$ profit on run lines. For me tonight, I think Glasnow gets it down. German no slouch. Both kids getting it done in impressive fashion. Slight edge to the home team tonight. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

Taking the NUGGETS. Been on them all series, not backing off now. 4* Money Maker DENVER NUGGETS

Taking the REDS, again. Had them last night, back on them with Sonny Gray. Gray has past success in this park so that should help a bit. Still waiting for the Cincy bats to really get going for us since you know I really like the bullpen of this team. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS

Taking SAN JOSE. Been on these guys all series. Not changing a thing now. 4* Cold Cash SAN JOSE SHARKS 

4* Total Money OVER Royals/ Astros

Taking the BUCKS. Let's just send in the clowns as Boston looks like a lost ship of fools right. Kyrie is in NY or Brooklyn or LA or wherever he is going to be in October. Celtics looking at big off-season of changes. Plenty of picks but what have they got show for it? A 2nd round exit. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BUCKS 

4* Total Money UNDER Angels/ Tigers

Taking the NUGGETS. Just think they get it done here at home. Not sure Blazers have enough to last tonight. 4* Money Maker DENVER NUGGETS

Taking the REDS. I have said it before, and have lost, but I like Cincy. I really like the bullpen. Think they have some nice young arms (Mahle and just called up Reed). The line up isn't hitting much, but it will. It is just too good to keep slumping. Fiers has been bad all season. A's overall, off to a rough start. Their patchwork group of vets they have are not delivering. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

4* Total Money OVER Royals/ Astros 

Taking STL to close it out. Thought about the big PL number. Thought about the total. But Blues ML is my strongest play on the ice. 4* Cold Cash STL BLUES 

Taking the PHILLIES. Had the Over in this game last night, and might take a look to play on that. But have to grab the small faves here after getting shut out. Nola sharp in his last 2 starts after a slow start. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the TWINS. Shaking my head that I didn't grab them yesterday. I like this team a lot and think they can make some noise in the Central. Not sold on the Indians and their lineup. Twins with a lot of young talent, and we get a rising star on the hill tonight. Berrios sharp all April. Toronto has Vlad Jr and some future hopes. Future is now in Minny. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the PADRES. I know big bad Cy Young DeGrom is on the hill. But I am not sold on him being 100%. Yes, off a nice outing. But an ERA approaching 10 in his 3 starts before that. Paddack a beast in his 6 starts so far. 1.91 ERA .70 WHIP a .112 BAA. Don't think we see many runs tonight either, - count me in on the home team. 4* Money Maker SD PADRES 

Taking the SHARKS. Again. On the road team to close things out. Just think San Jose is the better team. Obviously, concern is with their goalie, but Sharks the superior offensive team. They are the battle tested and close it out in Colorado tonight. 4* Cold Cash SAN JOSE SHARKS 

Taking the WARRIORS. Rockets outplayed these guys and still barely eked out a victory. I have been the first to bash GS as I think they aren't deep and are a bone head play away from Green getting a suspension. Not a fan of Curry, but after his last game, if there is anything certain in life it is him having a big game. I think we see A++ efforts from him and KD. That is enough to over power Harden's play. 4* Money Maker GS WARRIORS 

Going OVER. Oh look. Another KC total that will be settled by the 4th innings. 4* Total Money OVER Royals/ Astros 

Going OVER. So Mikolas put together a year for the ages in 2018. 18-4, 2.83 ERA. But just 146Ks in 200 innings. For me, that is a lot of luck with balls in play. I think we see runs tonight. As I stated, Mikolas is an average pitcher at best. Same with Vince Velasquez. Phillies have big bats. Cards counter with their own lumber. Lean a bit to Philly as STL off the Sunday night game. But really like this over tonight. 4* Total Money OVER Phillies/ Cards 

Taking the BRUINS to close things out. 4-3 and 4-1 the last 2 games, and it looks like Boston has figured out their offense in the series. CBJ a nice story, but that book ends this evening. 4* Cold Cash BOSTON BRUINS 

Taking the CELTICS. I do think the Bucks win this series in a slug-fest. I also think that Boston is too good to get trucked and be down 3-1. I'm looking at big game for Kyrie tonight after a pair of lack luster, and honestly, bad performances from the guy. 4* Money Maker BOSTON CELTICS 

Taking the YANKEES and going RUN LINE. Laying 150-160 is really my top number when it comes to MLB. In this spot, I will look at the RL. I have been saying for the last 2 years that it is fade King Felix time. Guy hasn't been the same, (an elite level) since 2015. Maybe 2016 if you want to push things. CC is going 5 innings. Might give up a run. Seattle finally snapped their losing streak yesterday. Still in a bad slide. They were suppose to be bad. They are in a rebuild. Yankees piecing it together getting guys back off the DL. 4* RL Money NY YANKEES

4* Money Maker DENVER NUGGETS

4* Money Maker TORONTO RAPTORS

4* Cold Cash STL Blues

4* Total Money OVER Blues/Stars

4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the SHARKS, going PUCK LINE. Again, on the home team. Like Boston, I expect San Jose to take control of the series here at home. Not much more to say than that. Sharks have won 17 of their last 19 at home and we look for more of the same. 4* PL Money SAN JOSE SHARKS 

Going BOSTON and taking the PUCK LINE. Again everyone, if you want to go ML, the choice is yours. I know for the year Puck Lines have not been kind- In fact, we have been mauled (16-37 -988). We've had 3 nice years, 2 huge ones, in the last 4 years on the ice. Still time left in the playoffs to chip at this small deficit we are in. Tonight, the BRUINS. This offense which was one of the best in the regular season had been held in a check by CBJ. With their 4 goals last game, I think Boston has found what they were lacking. 6 goals in the first 3 games before breaking out. That should carry over here at home in a pivotal Game 5. 4* PL Money BOSTON BRUINS 

Taking the METS. Not high on GG. The fact that the Yankees didn't want to bring him to the majors sends up a red flag to me. I mean, I am not some GM - But the NYY staff is pretty beat up. Not sure you couldn't find a role for this guy. Maybe there is something wrong. Going to the Brewers after opting out was the obvious choice as he was traded here and started 5 games last season. He pitched OK in his last start vs the Mets. But I like Wheeler. The ERA is not impressive by any stretch (over 5), and he seems to have what most pitchers who aren't on the elite level have - that one inning. Mets bats struggling a bit, but with a guy like GG on the hill, I think edge visitors. 4* Money Maker NY METS 

Going OVER. I think that Houston could hit this themselves is they really tee off here on Cahill. Not high on him at all. 13 runs in his last 12+ innings with 9 HRs allowed already this season. Guy allowed 8 last year in 118 innings (20 starts). Miley was never someone I loved on the hill, pitch to contact guys never are. 4* Total Money OVER Astros/ Angels 

Going OVER in Detroit. We will go over in a lot of KC games this year. And we especially be on KC Overs when the human gas-can Homer Bailey is on the hill. Taking out his 1 start with 4 runs in 1 inning of work, he has actually lasted to mid innings in his other 5 starts. But there is no way that I think he is back to his 2012/2013 form. The injuries have clearly affected his play. ERAs over 6 his last 2 'full' seasons of 2018 and 2017 - 20/18 starts and in 2016 in 6 starts an ERA of nearly 7. Tyson Ross no Cy Young winner either. This guy had a couple nice years back in 2014 and 2015 for San Diego. He is no spring chicken either now at 32 years of age. Not much of a strike out guy now and so far, 12 walks in 22 innings, looks to me that he will have guys on base. 4* Total Money OVER Royals/ Tigers 

Taking the TWINS. Had these guys last night, will come back again. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

4* Money Maker DENVER NUGGETS

4* Total Money OVER Royals/ Tigers

Sorry for yesterday and today everyone. Had a wake and funeral for a 17 year old friend of the family. Tragic and very sad. Didn't have write ups on the top of my list. 4* Cold Cash CAROLINA HURRICANES 

4* Total Money OVER Rays/ Orioles 

4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

Taking the RAPTORS. Had them in the first 2, will be on them here. Fell behind early and was out of gas when they finally got close. 4* Money Maker TORONTO RAPTORS 

4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

Taking the BLUES. Again will be on STL to get it done, and be on the OVER. 4* STL BLUES + OVER

4* Total Money OVER Blues/ Stars

4* Total Money OVER Blazers/ Nuggets

4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's 

Coming right back in Game 2 with the ROCKETS. We held tough in Game 1, I think they can steal this one. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ROCKETS 

4* Cold Cash SAN JOSE SHARKS 

4* Total Money OVER Sharks/ Avs

Taking the ROCKIES. Coming back again on a team we had last night. Will grab Colorado again. Chacin has given crooked numbers in all 6 starts and I expect that to continue tonight. 23 innings with 13 walks and 23 hits. That helps our cause. Marquez has been sharp or better in all but 1 start. Kid is dealing right now. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES 

Taking SAN DIEGO. Like this kid Paddack for the Padres. 5 starts and just 5 runs in his 27 innings pitched. That's a .67 WHIP and 1.67 ERA my friends. Lost with SD last night, but will come back here with this pitching edge. What Teheran is showing up? I remember when this guy had unbelievable home numbers. Then, he was great on the road. What is 100% clear so far is that he has been uneven at best this season. 33 hits in 31.2 innings and 17 walks. His 2 best starts this year have been at home with wins over the Cubs and Mets allowing 2 runs in 11 innings on 12 hits and 5 walks, 13Ks in those 2 games helped. Still think the youngster is the way to go tonight. Seems like Teheran (28) has been around forever doesn't it? 4* Money Maker SD PADRES 

Taking the REDS. Jason Vargas. Really? Castillo with a .95 WHIP through his first 6 starts while Vargas counters with his 7+ ERA, 20 hits and 9 walks in 15 innings. Plenty of scoring opportunities tonight for Cincy. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Going UNDER the total here. Just think this is going to be a low scoring affair. Now, we can lean towards Denver in the series. Portland took the last game in the series winning by 7 - But, Denver had reeled off 6 straight before that loss. Wins of 9, 6,1,6,3 and 17. Tonight though, I think we get to maybe 200 total and this under is never in doubt. 4* Total Money UNDER Trailblazers/ Nuggets 

4* Total Money OVER Tampa/ Royals

4* Cold Cash STL BLUES 

Taking the OVER and also liking STL to get it done tonight. 3 nice road wins in Round 1 for the Blues. Think they get it done vs Dallas here. As for the over. Dallas is a great defensive team right? Well, their last 8 games with totals of 5 we have 3 overs, 3 pushes and 2 unders. I'm thinking this game is 4-2 road team. 4* Total Money OVER Blues/ Stars 

Taking the RAPTORS, again. Had these guys in Game 1, will come right back on them tonight and play on the OVER as well. I think Sixers come out firing so we get some points. But they have had trouble with this team as the Raptors have won 7 of the last 9. Wins by 12, 11, 17, 16,5, 34 and 8. For whatever reason, Philly just does not match up well. Maybe the get a game at home. But I will fade them here in The North. 4* Money Maker TORONTO RAPTORS 

4* Total Money OVER  Sixers/ Raptors 

Taking the ROCKIES. Colorado getting hot winning 8 of 10. Brewers limping in dropping 7 of 10. Davies has been Milwaukee's most reliable start on the young season. He is sporting a 6+ ERA in 2 starts vs Colorado. Yelich could be out tonight which would help the cause. A little lower back problems as he left the last game. The play of both teams though has me on the small road dog. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES 

Taking SAN DIEGO. I do like this young Braves team. But, being young does have some drawbacks. Like how is Soroka going to respond after his longest pitch count of his young career? 100 pitches seems to have found itself as when the bullpen come in. He has had previous shoulder problems. So getting a nice number, I will grab the dogs here. Margevicius has a respectable 1.08 WHIP on the year. He has been good in his 2 road starts allowing 2 runs on 6 hits in 11 innings. That's a 1.64 ERA - .154 BAA and .64 in limited innings. I'll take it though. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Taking SHARKS, going PUCK LINE for the extra payday. Go ML if you want. I just think that the series vs Vegas was their toughest. Not high on the Avs right now. They were a nice story in Round 1. San Jose got their wake up call and will look to take a commanding lead here at home. They know what Colorado did last series. Won't take them for granted. 4* PL Money SAN JOSE SHARKS 

Taking SEATTLE. Rangers ending a 5 game slide as of this writing erupting for an 11-1 game here in the ninth. I think they hold on. That being said, this team has big problems. The staff is a hot mess. Lynn the best guy and he is sporting a mid 6 ERA. He beat Seattle last week which means they will get the best of him today. Especially off getting pounded last night. Rangers bullpen. They should just have a jet on stand-by as they shuttle guys back and forth to the minors. That is what happens when you starters last about 4 innings and you are in the bullpen having guys throw 40-50-60 pitches a night. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Pirates/ Dodgers

4* Total Money UNDER Yanks/ Giants

Taking the YANKEES and will also be on the UNDER in this game. Have to like they way both guys are pitching for the under here. But German as a side looks like a nice bet. I know you hear me talk about too good to be true lines. And although this is a low number, it's about where it should be. Rodriguez has been respectable in his outings. German though has been just downright nasty in his 4 starts. 28K in 25+ innings, just 13 hits. A .143 BAA and .82 WHIP. Again, on the UNDER also with a couple solid youngsters on the hill. Just think the Yanks find a way to win the side for us. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES

Taking the ROCKETS. Never now what Warriors team is showing up. Houston can play. They are a good team, we know this. Harden can go point or point with anyone on GS. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ROCKETS

4* Total Money UNDER Carolina/ Islanders

4* Total Money OVER  Angels/ Royals... Matt Harvey and Homer Bailey. Thought this total would be mid 90s Colorado 13. 

Taking OAKLAND, going RL. You can lay the short -112 if you want - again, I am going for the bigger payday. Not high on Thornton. Think the A's can tag him for several runs by the 4th inning. After 2 nice starts, his last 3 have been average at best. 4-4-5 runs allowed. Hasn't gotten out of the 6th inning yet. 25 hits 5 HRs and 7BBs in 23 innings of work. 4* RL Money OAKLAND A's 

Taking TAMPA. Can't back Sale at any price right now. Will grab Glasnow as a decent dog. 4-0 in 5 starts, a .92 WHIP. 2-0 on the road with 5 hits allowed in 12 innings. No runs, 2 walks and 17Ks - 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

4* Cold Cash COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS

Taking the RAPTORS. Think Toronto is the better team. Will be on them for the series. 4* Money Maker TORONTO RAPTORS 

Taking the REDS. Like this kid Mahle. Hudson numbers catching up to him as he was ready for regression. Cincy hurt the bankroll for us early in the month, but will back them as a small dog again today. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

4* RL Money MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the GIANTS. Will grab MadBum as a small home dog. Big Maple Paxton solid in his last 2 starts. But I can't trust this Yankees line up to put up runs vs a good pitcher. Giants offense not the 27 Yankees by any stretch - Home dog gets the nod though. 4* Money Maker SF GIANTS 

Taking the PIRATES. I know that the Dodgers are clearly 'better' and Ryu has nice home splits. But I am thinking Archer at this price still represents some value. 4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES 

4* Cold Cash SAN JOSE SHARKS

4* Total Money UNDER Warriors/ Clippers

Taking the BREWERS. I like Degrom. But we saw last year - just because you give up 0 runs or 1 run, heck 2 runs, doesn't mean you are winning games. Give me the Brewers at this price. They have plenty of guys who can hit the ball. Plus, the whole mystery injury thing - MRI -X-rays. Mets notorious for not catching or reporting injuries. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

4* RL Money CHICAGO WHITE SOX

4* RL Money HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking the ROCKIES tonight. Alright guys, sorry for the late MLB. If you watch the free pick videos, you know this week I was down in AC. Truck caught a rock and a tiny corner knick turned into a spidering crack that engulfed the entire passenger side of the windshield. 4 hours later and we have a new front window. But still need to go get camera calibrated! So- Colorado. Come in winners of 8 of 10. They have 6 straight in Atlanta. In fact, how about 23-9 last 32 vs the Braves. I know Fried has looked sharp, but it is tough to fade a team that is finally hitting and playing well right now. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES 

4* Cold Cash NY ISLANDERS

4* Cold Cash DALLAS STARS
