Taking the GIANTS tonight. Another role reversal here. Will fade Godley who was great early. Now sporting an ERA of 5.80 on the road with a 1.90 WHIP. You put 60 guys on base in 31 innings you are going to have problems. Will play the home team in this spot. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Going CAPITALS and taking the PUCK LINE, again. If you want to play on the ML, you can. I am just looking for some extra cash in my pocket - As great as the Vegas story and run has been. I think Washington has been looked over a bit. I said that back in the Penguin series. Holds true today. Also will be on the Over in this game tonight. 4* PL Money WASHINGTON CAPITALS 

4* Total Money OVER Vegas/ Caps

Taking the WARRIORS again. Well. The worse case played out for me as GS just toyed with the Cavs and then we get OT. Nearly covered there. But what I thought was true about Cleveland is. 50 from LeBron and 60 from the others. Not enough scoring. After lollygagging and nearly losing, GS should be more focused tonight. Might again come back on the Under tonight. For now. Warriors get it done. 4* Money Maker GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 

Taking the MARKINS. Wil back Straily at this price. Nice road splits in 4 games. 2.78 ERA .210 BAA and a respectable 1.19 WHIP. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the CAPS and going PUCK LINE for the big payday. So my thinking here is that Vegas has been out west for the last month of playoffs. Haven't traveled out here since March. All we need is a sluggish start and I think Caps jump on them early. Won't be shocked at an over and a 5-2 type game. 4* PL Money WASHINGTON CAPITALS 

4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS

Taking the WHITE SOX again. Are you kidding me with this run of totals. Done. Done with them. Finally a big day of sides with nothing to show. I said it yesterday, and will say it again. Our numbers are strong with our sides. We have just had some bad betting breaks. It all evens out which means we are about to have a huge month. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Taking the TIGERS. Not much to say. Have had a really rough month of May with MLB. Can't hold on to leads. Totals getting blown. If these sites had 1st 5 innings listed we would be making a killing. But we have yet to have a really steady week of 60+% . I'm sticking to my numbers and making smaller wagers. Have to be able to ride out the bad with the good. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Cavs/ Warriors 

Taking the WARRIORS. I like the Cavs. LeBron is in uncharted lands now. 8 straight NBA Finals. Come on. I will say Jordan is better because we see that 6-0 Finals Record. But I can put this guy right up there next to him. As much as him leaving for Miami hurts, taking this team, and his 2007 team vs the Spurs erases that now in my eyes. But this GS team. Man. I thought the Rockets would catch them sleeping. And that is the only way LeBron steals a game here. Warriors sleepwalk through a half and come out and hit 10-12 3s and a 10pt is now a 15 deficit. Their defense is underrated. I will also be on the UNDER tonight. Not sure where the Cavs get their scoring after LeBron 30-40. They will need at least 2 guys pumping in 25 to make this a game, and a series. 4* Money Maker GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 

Taking the PHILLIES. Like Nola. Kid is good. Really coming into his own this season. 1.01 road WHIP .216 BA Against and 2.73 ERA in 5 road starts. But for me, this is a fade of Kershaw. Not that he has been terrible. Guy has a 2.86 ERA on the year. I feel that off the DL, this is good value. He's allowed 7 HRs in 44 innings. And sitting at 1-4, he has been beatable. Bicep problems were said to be the reason for velocity dip. Maybe he still has some lingering back issues. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the PIRATES. Cards get the win last week over Williams. But I like to come back on a pitcher after a team gets the best of him. Worse start of the year for him. Williams with decent numbers on the season. 3.14 road ERA with a 1.05 WHIP and .170 BA Against. 4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES

4* Total Money UNDER Pirates/ Cards

Taking the RAYS- Man. I can't catch a break on the diamond. Bullpens blowing leads. Totals turning into pushes or losses. Money moves getting turned upside down. As much as I love the grind of MLB for 7 months, it is tough a go some weeks. So we turn to Tampa as the A's just seem to have lost their offense their last 3 games. I know it is tough to sweep 4 games on the road. But all the signs point to it happening. Mengden, who has rewarded us in the past, off a CG. I have had some mixed results with fading starters off CGs. But since they are normally faves, we have made a little coin. Kris Davis a big bat to replace in the middle of the lineup for Oakland. Will also be on the Under today as I like the pain and heartache of watching my totals finding new ways to go up in flames. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS 

4* Total Money UNDER Rays/ A's

Taking the A's and going RUN LINE. Yeah, after a rough night last night I can see just going ML and backing Oakland. But I like Manaea. Kid is solid. .79 WHIP at home and a .180 BA Against. How about Eovaldi. Now, as I said backing Reyes off the DL. He has been dominate in rehab. Not so much for Nate. Holy cow a 9.90 ERA in 4 starts. 3 starts, 6 innings in Single A. One start, 4 innings 10 hits 8 runs in his lone AAA start. Can't see him going deep. 4* RL Money OAKLAND A's

Taking the CARDS, again. Only winner on the bases last night and we are back on them. Some really tough losses in MLB last night. Man. We need to get on the other side of those eventually. But it is what it is. It will all even out and at the end of October, we'll be in the plus money. As for this afternoon. I like Reyes. Kid has been razor sharp in his rehab starts. Striking out 44 of 82 hitters in 23 innings. 7 hits. 4 of those in his first 3 innings of work in A Ball. 4* Money Maker STL CARDINALS 

4* Total Money UNDER Jays/ Sox

Taking the TWINS. Not a fan of laying on the road. But I have Gibson rated significantly higher than Duffy in this season so far. A 2.61 road ERA in 5 starts helps our cause tonight. WHIP of .90 - .129 BA against. KC is not a murder's row of offense. Duffy getting hammered. A 7 ERA in May. Batters slapping him at .315 this month, .283 on the year. Twins 6-0 in Gibson's last 6 starts vs Royals. KC though 5-1 in Duffy's last 6 home starts vs Minny. None of those have been this year though while Duffy has been struggling. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the CARDS. Will be backing Wacha here. Nice numbers in May (2.17) and overall (2.88) - Road ERA (4.60) in 3 starts. But the 1.21 WHIP and .217 BA against are lower than his home numbers. Davies making 2nd start since coming back off DL. Now, I am no doctor- But rotor cuff. I don't know. That just seems something that will linger with a pitcher. 4* Money Maker STL CARDINALS 

Taking the ASTROS. Morton just a beast. I have this guy in my Top 4 AL arms on the year. First. a .93 WHIP and 2-1 career vs NYY. This year, a .180 BAA and .97 WHIP - I have been waiting for CC to fall off the cliff. Maybe it has arrived. A 8.78 ERA his last 3 starts, 13 earned 15 runs, 19 hits, 7 walks. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking the ORIOLES here. Baltimore 20 under .500 and a small fave tonight. Hmm. Right off the bat a nice contrarian play for us. Hellickson has gotten past the 6th just once so far in his 7 starts. That 2.13 ERA and .89 WHIP looks impressive though. I think the move to the NL helps. Let's not forget his time in Tampa where he was 4-4 5.89 ERA vs the Orioles. Bundy off a CG gem. Normally. I like to fade a pitcher off a CG. But I think this is a spot where, not laying a big number, we have the value on our side. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES 

Taking the PIRATES. Like the Nats game, another game with an odd line. Lester with a 2.93 road ERA. He has 2.37 in 10 starts on the year. Kingman making his 4th start. Has been solid if nothing else. The short line has me on the home dog. 4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES

4* Money Maker DETROIT PENGUINS

Taking the NATS. Man. I can't catch a total the last few days. So I will reach for what looks like an easy win. GG has been great this year. Tough backing a home dog with an ERA of about 7 in home starts. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS

Going UNDER here. Thought about the Braves again, but they have crushed us this series. Bad day yesterday on the bases. Let's close the week right starting with this early game. Folty having a nice season. 10 starts, a sub 3 ERA. Thought about coming back to have my guts ripped out again going against Boston. Sale is always a threat for a huge game. If I am playing on him, or a total of his, it is always early. He hits the proverbial wall come late August. In this spot, we are on the under. 4* Total Money UNDER Braves/ Red Sox

Taking the ANGELS. Like Richards. Guy is having a solid month. A 1.50 ERA in 4 starts. Tanaka on the other side of things, ERA over 5 in May 4* Money Maker LAA ANGELS 

Going UNDER. So we cashed the Rockets in the last 2 games. But what we have seen is defense and poor shooting this series. I can see GS putting up 110 at home. But what I don't see happening is that Houston cracks 100. Paul being banged up is huge. As I write this (Friday) his status is up in the air. Me. I would rest him and go for a Game 7 win at home. I wouldn't risk something happening on the road as 10.5pt dogs. The under has cashed 4 of 5 in this series. 4* Total Money UNDER Rockets/ Warriors

Lost last night but will come right back with Newcomb has been rock solid. 2.39 ERA in 9 starts, .191 BA against. - And his road splits are great. 6 starts, 1.49 ERA  .99 WHIP .164 BA against. Pomeranz not sharp with an ERA approaching 6. Give me the dogs. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES

4* Total Money UNDER Arizona/ Oakland

Going UNDER here. Had the UNDER last game, will do it again. 4 of 5 in this series have gone under the total. 4* Total Money UNDER Celtics/ Cavs

Taking the WHITE SOX here. Yeah. Taking the worse team in MLB as a small dog tonight. I didn't think the Sox would be this bad to be honest. I really thought more of their young players. One guy performing for us is Lopez. 9 starts, .202 BA Against 2.98 ERA. Though is road splits aren't near his home numbers. I still like him of Fiers who is what he is. A guy who will go 5 and give up 3. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX 

Taking the BRAVES tonight. Playing on Teheran. Guy has some solid road numbers on the year. 2.89 ERA in 5 starts with a 1.00 WHIP and .173 BA Against. I know the Sox are good, sitting atop of the AL East. But who is in first in the NL East. The Atlanta Braves. Have to love a scrappy bunch. Rodriguez has been average at best at home. Lifetime a 4.37 ERA at Fenway. This year, more of the same. 4.44 in 5 games with a .300 BA Against. Will be looking at the Braves all series. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES

4* Total Money UNDER Astros/ Indians

Taking the ROCKETS. We had Houston last game, will come back with them at home. Folks. We are in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. There really isn't much to write about these 2 clubs. Everyone knows them. Everyone has opinions on them. Houston has 75 wins on the year. You don't fluke win 75 games. If the Rockets have any thought of winning this thing, they must take care of their home court. I keep hearing how GS played poorly and gave the game away. Well, the Rockets weren't 'on fire'. They shot worse from the field and 3 than the Warriors. Give me the home team tonight. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ROCKETS 

4* Total Money UNDER Astros/ Indians

4* Total Money UNDER Cavs/ Celtics

Taking the CAPITALS tonight. Look. I thought about taking TB on the Puck Line for a +200 payday. But the more I look at the Caps, the more I think this is their year to get to the Finals. We had them multiple times in the Rounds 1&2. Like I said in earlier write-ups. They are playing so much better as hunters than hunted. TB Is a good team. But Washington has been great on the road lately. 14-3 last 17 on the road. That pretty much off-sets whatever edge TB brings on the home ice. Let's not forget that as big dogs in Games 1&2, the Caps scored 4-2 and 6-4 wins. They have clinched series wins in Columbus and Pittsburgh already this post-season. Will see if they can do it again here. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS 

Taking TAMPA here. Ok. So here is another 'too good to be true' number. Sox basically a toss up? Archer is 2-12 career vs Boston! And he is barely a dog. We also have the fade a CG pitcher working for us with Price. He has been good in half his starts. That is why he has a 4+ ERA on the year. Not doing anything special. 4* TAMPA BAY RAYS 

Taking the BRAVES. Trying to figure out this line. Arrieta has been one of the better stories of the season. Guy wasn't picked up for a long time, Phillies sign him, a 2.82 ERA in 8 starts. Yet. Hello! Look at this number - Maybe its too good to be true and Philly is easy money. But after writing on sites for over nearly 15 years I have fond nothing is easy. Gohara is a bullpen guy getting a start. He is a huge prospect for Atlanta. We had the Braves last night. Now 14-3 their last 17 on the road. Phils have dropped Arrieta's last 4 starts. Ride the road dog again. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES 

Taking the PADRES. I get San Diego is a bad team. But I think we have the edge on the hill today with Tyson Ross. We know what we are getting. He will go 6. Strike out a guy an inning. His numbers aren't bad. 1.19 WHIP .210 BA Against- that drops to .193 on the road. Fedde was rocked in his appearances last year. Have to grab SD as a dog here. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Taking the GIANTS. Yes. We are taking a huge dog today. Yes. We are backing SF who I have faded multiple times already this season. Yes we are going against Verlander and his league best 1.05 ERA and tiny .71 WHIP. For me Samardzja is worth the shot here. I like to fade pitchers off CGs. And here we have Verlander off the most pitches he has thrown all year. 4* Money Maker SF GIANTS 

4* Total Money UNDER Royals/ Cards

4* Total Money UNDER DBacks/ Brewers

Taking the ROCKETS. So had GS in the first 2 games. Not sure why I backed off them in Game 3. But I expect a huge effort tonight from Houston. GS toyed with Rockets last game crushing their spirits in a huge 41pt win. Time to man up. Circle the wagons. Whatever you want to call it. Houston has their season on the line. Thought about the Over, and that or the Marlins will be my Free Video play today. But I think that the Rockets will come at GS with everything and the kitchen sink tonight. Maybe they steal the outright win. But I think they keep it within this number. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ROCKETS 

Taking the TIGERS. Can't sleep on Boyd. Guy will have us in this game. I know his road numbers aren't as impressive as his home numbers. But that is more skewed with a 4 runs in 3.2 innings outing at Pitt. 7-7-6- 3.2. It isn't like he doesn't get out of the 4th. 11 earned in those 23.2. Lance Lynn is finding the AL a bit different then the NL. A 7.47 ERA in 8 starts. 6+ here at home. An over 2 WHIP, 13 innings and 13 walks. Too much value with the better pitcher here. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Arizona/ Milwaukee 

4* Total Money UNDER Marlins/ Mets

4* Total Money UNDER Angels / Blue Jays

Taking the ANGELS. So, I like the UNDER in this game also. I like both of these guys but will side with the road team tonight. Richards with a solid 2.57 road ERA in 4 starts with a .213 BAA and a not too bad 1.33 WHIP. Pitching well, 3 earned allowed this May in 19 innings (3 starts 3-0) 16Ks and just 2 walks. Enter JA Happ. I said I like Happ. Well, really like him on the road 1.93 ERA .172 BAA and .96 WHIP - But this game says Rogers Centre. And we get Home-Happ. 5.40 ERA in 6 starts. Yeah, we get 44 Ks in 33 innings but also 7 HRs and 20 earned. He'll give up 3-4 by the 5th. Both teams come in struggling. LAA 3-7 run, Jays 2-8. Angels though 4-1 last 5 vs Toronto. Jays also 0-4 in Happs L4 home starts vs LA and 1-5 last 6 Happ starts vs Angels overall. 4* Money Maker LAA ANGELS 

Taking the BRAVES tonight. Following the numbers here. McCarthy sports a 4-2 record with a 5.05 ERA in his 9 starts. But let's dig deeper. 3-0 vs the Phillies this season. 16 innings, 17 Ks 2.25 ERA. I can get behind a dog with those numbers. Sometimes a guy just fares well vs another team. And then we have Vince Velasquez. 0-3 vs the  Braves in 2018. A 9.24 ERA in 12 innings - 16 runs, 13 earned 23 hits and 5 walks. Those are a lot of base-runners. Atlanta 13-3 their last 16 on the road. Phillies 1-5 in Velasquez's last 6 starts (4.89 career ERA) vs Braves. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES 

Taking the INDIANS. Bauer having a nice year with a 2.59 ERA. Not that he sees the Cubbies often, but 2-0 .66 ERA against Chicago. Road splits solid with a .96 WHIP and .178 BA Against . Chatwood just OK in his home starts. 3.74 ERA isn't terrible. What sticks out for me is 16 walks in 21 innings. That is 5 less than Bauer has allowed in triple the innings. Indians are a tough club. You can't be giving them free passes. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS 

Taking the CELTICS. Had them getting their butts handed to them in Game 3, and will come back for more tonight. Stevens is a pretty solid underdog coach. I can't see this team coming out as flat. They were out of it early and never recovered. This is the NBA, usually, every team makes a run. Those 20 pt leads disappear in minutes. So. We have Boston off a 30pt beat-down. Do we really think they are thinking. Oh, its OK if we play bad and lose both in Cleveland. This is totally an easy series. Come on. I know it is tough fading LeBron at home. Guy is a beast. I just have to believe that Stevens makes the adjustments. Celtics going to go 6-22 27% from 3? 39% from the field? Cavs hitting 17 of 34 from 3 again? Look for a closer battle tonight. 4* Money Maker BOSTON CELTICS 

Taking TAMPA. I had the Caps early in the series, but will look to TB to close things out. Just think that there isn't a lot left in the tank for Washington. Round 1, got down early and had to battle back from 0-2. A tough 6 game series over the Penguins. A team that had owned them. But we have seen the last 3 games that Caps having some problems against Vasilevskiy as they haven't been able to crack him for more than 2 goals. As a dog, have to take the road team. 4* Money Maker TB LIGHTING 

Taking the MARLINS. For me, I can't back Vargas. This guy shouldn't be a fave over any team. Not much to work on from Hernandez. I guess you could think the Over would be in play, and it very well could be. But this Mets lineup doesn't impress me one bit. Especially when you remove Cespedes. Add in Todd Frazier and that is more pop out of the lineup. They have 2 regulars hitting over 250. Marlins a scrappy bunch. The team that is suppose to be the 'worse team ever' after trading away their stars in the off-season. I'm grabbing the small dogs here. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the CELTICS. Giving me this many points with Brad Stevens on the other bench? I know, I know. Cavs in a must-win mode. Circle the wagons. LeBron at home. I get it. But Boston is always a live dog with this coach. They embrace the underdog role. It is like Butler all over again. Maybe they don't win straight up. And maybe this line is begging you to take the points. But I have seen Cleveland lose by 15 just as easy as win by 15. I'll be backing Boston all series as we had them in the first 2 games already. 4* Money Maker BOSTON CELTICS

Taking VEGAS again. Had them PL for big money the other night and cashed on miracle goal with about 3 seconds left. That did cost us the Under. But still, it is money in our pockets. Tonight, more of the same. Knights and the UNDER. Jets have really only put together about 30 minutes of solid play this series. Really like Vegas turning away that 3rd period assault when the Jets had 16 shots on goal. Give me the home team and the under again. 4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS KNIGHTS

Taking the PADRES. I know the Pirates have been money at home. But I am not backing Nova here. Guy has been brutal his last 3 starts. 14 earned (17 total runs) in 12.2 innings, 25 hits. That's a 10.22 ERA in May. He has a 5 ERA on the year so he hasn't really been sharp. I like Ross. This guy is one of the better NL arms that you probably haven't followed. Yeah, the wins aren't there, 2-3 in 8 starts. But he will keep us in striking distance. That was I want from a live dog. Nice road splits also. A .184 BA against and a 1.06 WHIP (16 hits in 23.2 innings 33Ks). 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Taking the ROCKIES. Ok. Maybe this is a sucker line and I am grabbing at the low hanging fruit. Bu I have Bettis in my Top 30 NL Pitchers. Samardzija doesn't sniff that area code. He hasn't gone 6 since coming off the DL and has given up 5 in his 2 last starts. An 8.31 ERA at home in 2 starts. 6 runs to the Nats in 3+, Padres get 2 in 5 innings. 3 walks in each start. Then he hit the DL. Then 2 games, 9.2 innings 10 hits 10 Earned 4 HRs 5 walks. Bettis is 4-1, 1.35 ERA in 5 road starts .99 WHIP and .197 BAA. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

Taking the TIGERS. Will grab Boyd at this price. And why not - He has gone 6 innings in 6 of his 7 starts and sports a 1.05 WHIP and .212 BAA. Marco Gonzales. Not so good. A 5+ ERA on the year with a .325 BAA . That gets worse at home 7.07 in 3 starts and a .333 BAA  + 1.57 WHIP. The guy will give up 3-4 runs by the 4th inning and we should be sitting pretty. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

4* Total Money OVER Tampa/ Washington 

Taking the MARLINS. How do you get in front of the LAD train-wreck. We had the under yesterday in this series. And I did think about as I am doing this writing. Maybe it is a late add. But I have to back Smith in this spot. Guy has been solid on the year, and with good home splits. - 2.38 ERA in 4 starts 1.10 WHIP .214 BA Against. Maeda not sharp at all this year, especially on the road with an ERA of 5.60. Regressing from his first 2 years, a .288 BAA and 1.53 WHIP lets us know that we will have opportunities to score. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

4* Total Money UNDER Astros/ Angels

Going UNDER here. Vegas has been winning with defense all year. Not going to change now. This crowd should be nuts. Jets walking into a hornets nest. Much like the Knights were in Game 1. A lot of defense, will also be on Knights for the game. Possibly even a PL +200 play. 4* Total Money UNDER Jets / Knights
