Taking the KNIGHTS and going PUCK LINE for a big pay-day. You can lay the -140. But I think this arena is nuts, and we see a 3-0, 4-1 type win for the home team. Also like the UNDER tonight. 4* Puck Line Money LAS VEGAS KNIGHTS 

Taking the WARRIORS. Had these guys in Game 1, back again. Nothing to really say. Yes, Rockets might come out to save the season. Whatever you want to call it. Statement game. Houston is desperate not to go down 0-2. But at this price, how can we not take GS. They are the better team. 4* Money Maker GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 

Taking TAMPA, again. Had them last night, will do it again this afternoon. KC is a bad team people. A 5.64 bullpen ERA leaves the door open for any team to mount a comeback. Give me the small fave. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS 

Taking the CARDINALS. Have to grab Mikolas at this price. Guy has been dealing - A .96 WHIP in his 7 starts, just 3 walks in 46.2 innings. Can't think of backing Lynn. A 7.34 ERA in his 7 starts. A WHIP of 1.98, .312 BA against. Short fave, but we will lay it. 4* Money Maker STL CARDINALS 

Taking the BLUE JAYS. Believe it or not, I have Happ as a Top 30 AL pitcher. Wheeler has been up and down, good start, bad start all season. Well, he's up for that bad one after allowing 1 run in 6 innings at Cincy. But that is just background noise. Think the Jays are the better team, as the line reflects. Big win for NYM last night, but a bounce back by Toronto is what I have on tap. 4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS 

4* Total Money UNDER White Sox/ Pirates

4* Total Money UNDER Phillies/ Orioles

Taking the RANGERS. Not a fan of Texas. But we have 2 pretty average, at best pitchers on the hill tonight. Rangers have played better on the road, 9-10, than at home 7-16. While Seattle, 8-8 at home, 15-9 away. Another dog tonight. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Cavs/ Celtics

Taking the RAYS. How is KC favored like this? I know TB isn't a great team, but I don't have the Royals this much better, even at home. They have dropped 3 straight to boot. Strictly a value play as we fade a losing trend favorite. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

Taking the CAPITALS. Had these guys in Game 1. Thought they were a good bet vs the Pens as they were the hunters not hunted. Same here. Nearly went PL +250 but lets just grind some bankroll. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS 

Taking the BRAVES. Like Folty. Have been quietly on this guy this year, and last. Think he has good stuff. And, in case you didn't notice, Atlanta 10 games over .500 sitting on top of the NL East. Cubs send Yu who I have haven't like in 2 years. Public loves the Cubs. But they haven't really impressed me much as they sit in 4th place. Give me the home dogs. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES 

4* Total Money UNDER Dodgers/ Marlins 

Taking the TIGERS. Not a fan of Tomlin. Guy has an ERA over 8! .339 BA against, 6 walks and 14 Ks in 25 innings. Have to take Liriano as a little home dog. I have him as a Top 20 pitcher right now. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

4* Total Money UNDER White Sox/ Pirates

Taking the WHITE SOX. Also on the UNDER 9 tonight. I know CWS is terrible. I really thought they would be better. Maybe they have a couple hot streaks in them sometime unless these guys might not win 50. Lopez went into the 8th against Pitt a week ago. Kid has an ERA of 2.44 in his 7 starts so far. A .196 BA Against means we are in the game. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Taking the PADRES. Following a bit of line move here. Neither pitcher with good numbers vs opposing clubs. But Lyles in his lone start has been better than Marquez. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Taking the PADRES. Like this kid Lucchesi. Sports a 2.87 ERA at home in 6 starts. Numbers on the year solid. A nice for the rookie. Rockies haven't solved him yet as he hasn't given up an earned run in 11 innings facing him. (2 unearned 5 hits 15 Ks) - Anderson has nice numbers also vs SD.  1.50 ERA in his 2 starts and 1.80 ERA in 5 career starts. Still taking the small home faves tonight. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Taking the ASTROS. About McCullers here. 3-1 1.78 ERA in 9 starts vs LAA. Also, doesn't hurt that I see he has held Trout in check (1-17) He's gone at least 7 in 3 of his last 5 starts, 4 wins. The 1 ND, 3 ER against the Yanks in 7. Last road start vs Oakland, a win, really his worse outing with 4 walks in 5 innings. Heaney hasn't been bad, but he won't go past 6 innings. His 5.28 ERA in 3 home starts is inflated as he gave up 7 in 4+ innings. That being said, think the 'Stros get it done. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking the WARRIORS in Game 1. So here we are. Some say, the real NBA Finals. Look. Rockets are a good team. 73-19 as they begin this series. But I think GS has a coaching edge. As good as Harden is, I am a big Durant fan. We have seen these guys lay an egg vs Minny and Utah. You can't just show up against the Warriors. Maybe GS can 'flip the switch' and get back to Finals Level Play. The talent is there. I think the series goes 7, but GS steals a game in Houston. 4* Money Maker GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 

Taking the KNIGHTS again. Maybe, well, we lost so, it was a bad call in Game 1 on Vegas. And looking back maybe I should have expected a slow start after their lay-off. But new day, new game, new week. I am backing the Knights to get back on track. 4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS KNIGHTS 

4* Total Money UNDER A's / Red Sox

4* Money Maker SD PADRES

4* Money Maker MINN TWINS

Taking the CAVS here in Game 1. Man. Weren't these guys suppose to lose against the Pacers? Well, we cashed several times taking points with Indiana. And won in short spots like this on Cleveland. Boston took care of business over the trendy pick Sixers. But I think we see LeBron do amazing things again. Guy is incredible. At numbers like this, have to grab the best player on the planet. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 

4* Money Maker SD PADRES

4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the KNIGHTS. Have to grab these guys as dogs. Defense the edge for me here. Will be on them for the series price also. 4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS KNIGHTS

4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS

4* Total Money UNDER Brewers/ Rockies

4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS 

4* Total Money OVER Braves/ Marlins

4* Total Money UNDER Royals/ Indians

Taking the MARLINS here. Also on the Over in this game. McCarthy roughed up last outing. I was on the Under last night and that went down in flames. Looks like the bats have come out to play this weekend. Straily will give up some runs. But I see everyone moving on the Braves while the line continues to drop. Miami 5-0 in Straily's last 5 starts at home, 4-1 last 5 starts overall. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS 

Taking the METS. I will be honest. +165 RL on Arrieta looked tasty. But as I look into his numbers, not so impressed. If you take out a 10 strikeout game vs the Pirates, this guys is striking out just 2 guys a game. 2! and he's walking 2 a game. So that's a wash. And NYM are just reeling right now. And betting on teams on 2-8 slide against teams on 4 game win streaks probably isn't a long term recipe for success. But sometimes I have to buck the numbers. And speaking of those, why is this line down basically 20 bucks since opening? 4* Money Maker NY METS 

Taking the GIANTS. So these are actually 2 teams I was looking to be bad this year and want to fade. This line, like the Phillies, has also dropped over 20 dollars since opening up. I do like this kid Suarez for San Fran. Younger making his 4th start. 18Ks 2 walks in 17.2 innings, so he has control. A .96 WHIP. No middle ground with Taillon. He's good,1 hit 7K SHO or awful, 7 Earned 10 hits 3+ innings. I'll doggy up in this spot. 4* Money Maker SF GIANTS

4* Total Money UNDER Nats/ DBacks

4* Total Money UNDER Braves / Marlins 

Taking the ROYALS. Straight fade of Tillman. Guy has a 5.37 ERA career vs KC. But how about a 9.24 ERA in his 6 starts already this year. He, somehow, by a miracle allowed 0 runs against the Tigers. But 4-5-6-4-7 in his other starts. 14 walks, 13 Ks in 25 innings. 2.05 WHIP, a .352 BAA against 38 hits in 25 innings. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS 

4* Total Money UNDER Giants/ Phillies

Taking the CELTICS to close it out. Had them on the road in Philly and missed out. But this is just the better team, especially when it comes to coaching. Sixers have a bright future. But it's time to turn the page on this season. 4* Money Maker BOSTON CELTICS 

4* Money Maker TB RAYS

4* Total Money OVER Royals/ Orioles 

4* Total Money UNDER Giants/ Phillies

Taking the RED SOX, again. Lost last night, but will come back today. Just a value play. I have said in the past, this season and last. Not a huge Tanaka backer. Yeah, sometimes the guy looks like Cy Young. Sometimes Hideki Irabu. Porcello is pitching like 22-4 3.15 ERA version with his fast 5-0 2.14 ERA. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX

4* Total Money UNDER Houston/ Oakland

4* RL Money COLORADO ROCKIES 

4* Total Money UNDER Pirates/ White Sox 

4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

4* Total Money OVER Indians/  Brewers

Taking the REDS. Grab Romano at home in this spot. Solid numbers here as he sports a .213 BAA and a 1.29 WHIP in 4 starts. Wheeler was decent in his first 4 starts before falling off the rails against the Rockies ( 8ER 10 hits 6 inn). Both teams not playing well. Mets dropping 8 of 10, Reds 7 of 10. But I think the Reds have the better squad on the field this afternoon. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the WARRIORS. Cashed these guys last game, and I think we get a repeat performance tonight. Pelicans a nice story, but GS is just on a different level. Again, like the Rockets. Big number with the home team. But like Houston, they can really name their score. 4* Money Maker GS WARRIORS 

4* Total Money UNDER Astros/ A's 

Taking the ROCKETS.  13 - 18 - 14 - 11- 21- 11 - 27.. Those are the margins of victory in Houston's last 7 wins over Utah. This is a big number as it really falls squarely into how they have beaten these guys. I just think, as much as I like the Jazz (we had them in Game 1 to start things off), that the Rockets will just come out strong and can really name their score. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ROCKETS 

Taking BOSTON. How can I not take nearly 2-1 with the Red Sox. Sevie is good, 2.11 ERA on the year. But is 2-5 4.82 in his career (8 starts,9 games). Sox send Pomeranz, who is 3-2 with a 3.33 ERA in 10 games (9 starts) vs NY - Number at Yankees Stadium 3-2 3.12 ERA 5 games. These guys are the 2 best teams in MLB right now. 25-9 for the Sox, winners of 3 straight. Yanks have reeled off 6 straight, and 9 of 10. Value for me on the visitors. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX 

Taking the ORIOLES. I can't lay -140 with Bundy. The guy is the best of the Baltimore bunch. He had a 1.42 ERA in his first 5 starts. 5 runs in 31.2 innings, 26 hits 40 Ks 9 BBs. Last 2 games though. Yikes. 18 hits and 15 runs in 9 innings. - But we see an 8-28 team favored. Albeit, KC is just 11-23. Duffy, who I have made some decent coin on backing, is sporting a 5.63 ERA in 7 starts. Both pitchers have good numbers in limited (3 starts, 2 Duffy,1 Bundy) vs the opposing clubs. The Orioles though have the better lineup and should crack through for a 4-1 type game. 4* RL Money BALTIMORE ORIOLES 

4* Total Money UNDER Royal/ Orioles

Going OVER the total. Look for some goals to be scored with the Preds on the ropes. They need to attack. Whoever is leading will get a shot at some empty nets. Jets could get us a push on their own if they are clicking on all cylinders. 4* Total Money OVER Preds/ Jets

Taking the CAVS. So after the sweep, expect the Raptors roster to be blown up and an immediate coaching change in the near future. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 

Taking the MARLINS. One, we are getting 2-1 here so you know I wouldn't even be looking at the Cubbies. But let's take a closer look. Right off the bat we see Chicago losing in 14 innings. That was in 14 innings. VS a hated rival in STL. And the Sunday night ESPN game. These guys are pros yeah. But as close as STL is to Chi-town, this is still a tough scheduling spot. And Miami has now reeled off 8 of 11. How can you possible lay -230 with a team that has dropped 5 straight? 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

4* Total Money UNDER Tigers/ Rangers

Taking the CAPITALS. Pure value play. Up in the series. Look, Pens are an experienced bunch. Being down 3-2 might rattle some clubs. Not teams looking for Stanley Cup 3-Peats. That being said, have to take Washington at this price. A 6-3 loss looks like a blow-out. But a pair of late empty netters make it the score look scarier than how the game was played.  4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS 

Taking the CELTICS. Up 3-0, part of me wants to hit the ML for +230. But the points will do. Maybe the Sixers show some heart after that OT loss. Maybe they are a bunch of sulking kids and pack it up when they are down 12 at the half. But I can't see a huge blow-out. 4* Money Maker BOSTON CELTICS 

Taking the JAZZ again. Think they show up here. Not really much to say. Rockets are a super team, but Utah must have some pride in themselves after a good season. Grabbing the points. 4* Money Maker UTAH JAZZ

4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

Taking the WARRIORS. Lost last game and am expecting a huge turnaround. No way they want this series any longer than necessary. 4* Money Maker GS WARRIORS

4* PL Money TB LIGHTNING

4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES

Taking the CAVS. So we had Cleveland on the free pick video in Game 1. Lost on the Raptors in Game 2. But what I have seen, and, pretty much everyone, the Cavs just have Toronto's number. Not shocked by a sweep here after the way the first 2 games went. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 

4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS

4* Total Money UNDER Pirates / Brewers

4* Total Money OVER Rox /Mets

4* Total Money OVER Dodgers/ Padres

Taking the JAZZ. So, a little annoyed at myself for not taking Utah in Game 2 after having them in Game 1. I thought this would be a tough series for the Rockets. Not going to change that thinking now, especially with a small home dog. As good as Houston is, we have seen them play down to teams. And people forget like I said in Game 1 write up, how good this Jazz team has been since the start of the new year. 4* Money Maker UTAH JAZZ

Taking the SHARKS. I do like Vegas. And this is a great story. Will probably change the way expansion works in the future. I know the Knights are down, and the crowd will be insane at home. But I will grab the dog tonight. 4* Money Maker SAN JOSE SHARKS 

4* Total Money OVER Dodgers/ Padres

Taking the PADRES. Now, also like the OVER in this game. So this kid Lucchesi has been pretty good. This game is in Mexico, so not Petco. Should have probably opened with that, so that is why I like to see a few more runs tonight. With a pair of rookies, I think we see some runs. But our rookie has several starts under his belt this year. While Buehler, is freshly promoted. Edge Padres. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

4* Total Money UNDER Pirates/ Brewers

Taking the WARRIORS. Anytime, or should I say, playoff time like this, I have to back GS. Even on this short number. If it's too good to be true, so be it. I know. Injuries. And the, flip the switch. And sleepwalking till finals. Just good enough to win, not cover. As good as Davis is, Durant, for me, is still one of the top players in the league. Pelicans totally over-performed after Cousins went down. But against a team like GS, they will be exposed. 4* Money Maker GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 

Taking the BRAVES and going RUN LINE. You can lay the -145, but on the sites here, we are going for the bigger pay-out. Like this Atlanta bunch. Folty has been solid. 2.53 ERA out of the gate. I am just not sold on the Giants. I can't get behind them. They are going to hit a wall after this start. With the exception of a trip to Arizona, the San Fran hasn't played outside of California yet. Atlanta will be a team I am looking at all weekend. 4* RL Money ATLANTA BRAVES 

4* Total Money OVER Rockies/ Mets

Taking the MARLINS. I know - Why the heck are we getting involved with these two bottom feeders. Well, I am looking for value. And playing against a 7 win team that is 3-12 at home gives us some value. Everyone knew how bad the Marlins were going to be. But they have been getting some decent pitching. Chen had a nice return from being out basically a year. Sal Romano? Now I am all for going full on rebuild. And the Reds gave the rookie 16 starts last year and he wasn't terrible (4.45 ERA). But I will back the veteran right now. 14 walks/17 Ks for Romano with 31 hits in 31 innings. 6 HRs. I guess they had to make someone a fave, but Miami is a team I will be looking to play this entire series if they are dogs. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS 

Taking the BRUINS tonight. So last night, we had both road teams for a split on the dogs. But I see more Penguins in Boston than I see Caps in TB. And that is why we are going for nearly the 2-1 payday on the PUCK LINE. Now, if you want to just go ML, that's fine. A win is a win. That being said, I think with their backs to the wall, Boston gets it done at home as they get back to their Game 1 ways. 4* PUCK LINE Money - BOSTON BRUINS (if you want to lay -150 instead. Go right ahead)

Taking the PHILLIES. I know GG has been pitching well. But I like Pivetta in this spot. Don't be fooled by the 1-1 record. Phils have won 5 of his 6 starts this year, and 9 of his 10 overall. He will keep us in this thing. Nats, after a slow start, have reeled off 5 straight. That being the case, I will still back the dog. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

4* Total Money OVER A's/ Mariners

Taking NASHVILLE. Will grab the Preds at this price. I know. Look. Even me looking at this number I think they are begging us to take the dog. And, I will. I know the Jets have been the better team. Heck, we cashed a miracle PL winner on them with an onslaught of goals to give both the side and total. But I can't go against the Preds here. These guys lost the Stanley Cup to Pitt last year. What we will do, is grab the Over again. Because, like losing 4-2 in the Cup last year, they couldn't stop Pitt on the road (5-4-6 goals allowed), they haven't been able to slow down Winnipeg either (4-4-7) at home or the road (7). 4* Money Maker NASHVILLE PREDATORS 

4* Total Money OVER Preds/ Jets

Taking the CAPS. I know this is the proverbial 'must win' for the Pens. Don't want to go down 3-1. But on the flip side, you know Washington isn't thinking. Ok. we can lose and go home 2-2. They have their own demons they are trying to get away from against this Pitt team. And listen, Pitt is good. Defending champs. But they are a bit banged up. And maybe, just maybe trying for 3 straight Stanley Cups is catching up to them. Have to take a shot at this price. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS 

Taking ARIZONA, again. Back on the DBacks. Lost a tough one last night. Corbin firing right now. A .75 WHIP and 1.65 BAA in 40 innings with 55Ks. Not that high on LAD right now. Said it before, will repeat myself. This Dodgers team is not in a good spot right now. ARZ playing the better ball. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 

Taking the ASTROS. Well. I put out the Over last night, but said I liked the Yanks. Woulda Coulda Shoulda. This afternoon, all Houston. NYY hasn't fared well vs better pitching, especially guys with good K ratios. McCullers has 44 in 34 innings. Yeah, they are the Bronx Bombers. But will big cuts, come big misses, and NY is right up there with the worse of the worse in strikeouts. Travel day wiht Indians on tap for NY. Thought about RL on Houston. But after a losing Wednesday, we are just going to claw out a W and head into a big weekend. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking the DIAMONDBACKS and going for the big payday on the RL. The ML looks a bit short on how Godley has pitched overall. But this his 3rd start against LAD already. 1-1 4.91 in his first 2 - His home numbers, 2-0 in his home starts, 2.19 ERA  and a .97 WHIP. Now - Ryu has a nice 2.22 ERA in his 5 starts. I think they are a bit skewed though. 2-0 and 0.00 ERA at home .71 BAA and .54 WHIP . The road numbers, 1-0 in 3 starts. 4.11 ERA 7 earned 12 hits in 15 innings. He couldn't get out of the 4th in his first start of the year here. 3.2 for 3 earned on 5 hits and 5 walks. He has a 3.98 ERA in 11 career starts vs DBacks. LAD 1-5 in his last 6 road starts. Arizona has won 7 of the last 8 in the series and 5 straight at home. 4* RL Money ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 

Going OVER the total. I will tell you this. Anytime I have thought, oh, 2 aces going. Not many runs scored in the first games of the series. Should be an easy under. I have been blasted by a 4 run 1st on the road to a 10 run game. That being said. Almost thought about Sevie. Keuchel, and his awesome numbers, just hasn't cut it this year. A 5.25 ERA in his 2 home starts - 12 hits in 12 innings, 4 walks and 3 HRs. Think we see some runs tonight. 4* Total Money OVER Yanks/ Astros

4* Total Money OVER Brewers/ Reds

Taking the RAYS. Now, we cashed the Tigers yesterday. And I nearly went Tampa RL +145. But I am also on the UNDER today. Both pitchers throwing well. We had backed Snell several times already this year, so at this short price, I will do it again. Wish he was a +110 instead of minus. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS 

4* Total Money UNDER Rays/ Tigers

Taking the GIANTS and going RUN LINE. If you want to, sure, lay the ML. It isn't huge. I just think as much I has opposite views on both of these teams, SF is just playing well right now. 3 straight wins and 7 of their last 10. SD has dropped 7 of 10, sitting at 10-20 on the year. SF, with their .500 record, are in 2nd place in the NL West! - Think Ross gets tagged tonight and this is one of those 5-1, 6-2 type games. 4* Money Maker SF GIANTS on RUN LINE 

Taking ARIZONA. Will grab these guys again. Dodgers slumping right now. I know Kershaw is a beast. But he has just lost to Miami. LAD just not playing well. Arizona rolling right now. Getting this big number, with a 10-3 home team, 20-8 overall, playing over .700 ball. Worth the shot. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 

4* Total Money OVER Preds/ Jets
