4* Cold Cash UNDER Rangers/ Islanders 

4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS 

Taking the BRAVES. How the heck do you take the Yankees? And as a favorite? 5 straight losses for NYY. Give me Atlanta. NYY Hitting just .210, and .202 vs lefties. Acuna or not, Braves the better team. Dogs or nothing. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES 

Taking the BREWERS. Will also be looking at the Under in this game. So this is really mostly a fade of the Padres based on yesterday. Finally breaking through vs Dodgers. A big win. Big, big win. But it was another day of using the bullpen. Now they get Milwaukee, who, can throw a pretty starter their way. You know I like me some Woodruff. At this price, grabbing the dog. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Brewers/ Padres 

Taking the DODGERS, going RUN LINE. Will always look to grab LA when laying small numbers. Even if it is a RL play. May is a solid starter. Not really sold on Sheffield. And Seattle in general has been lucky with the amount of late game heroics. Only get those when the game is in reach. Dodgers take care of business. 4* RL Money LA DODGERS

4* Cold Cash UNDER Minnesota/Arizona

4* Total Money UNDER Rays/ Royals 

4* Total Money UNDER White Sox/ Red Sox 

Taking the DODGERS.  Now way the Padres lose again right? Look - both these guys are good starters. Snell though I think will fade first here. Getting behind to many hitters even though raking up strikeouts. LA a deep lineup that takes pitches. Padres bullpen I think is a little over used at this post. At this price, have to take Bauer. 4* Money Maker LA DODGERS 

Taking OAKLAND, going RUN LINE. I nearly went RL with the Marlins, and here I will stick to my guns and go RL instead of ML. A's finding their groove with 7 straight wins after losing 6 straight to start the year. Boyd has looked great, while Bassitt hasn't. That being said, A's playing very well and the pitching has led the way for their win streak. 4* RL Money OAKLAND A's

Taking RANGERS, going PUCK LINE. NYR have beat these guys in 3 straight games. Goals 13-3 with 2 shutouts. Devils reeling right now. I'll go PL because you know I can't lay huge numbers. 4* PL Money NY RANGERS

Going OVER in Game 1 between SOX + SOX. White Sox have been know to get some wins over lefties. To win, you need runs. Boston seems to be hitting whoever they face. Best offense in baseball it seems the last 2 weeks crushing the ball. Have to think Over is the way to go here. 4* Total Money OVER White Sox/ Red Sox 

Taking the MARLINS. Almost went RL +155 here. SF has been getting good pitching, but what is being overlooked is their .208 team batting average. Tough to win games when you can't push runs across the plate. Miami has now won 6 of 7 and should get the brooms out here over Alex Wood. First start for this guy. Give me Lopez and a team in a nice groove at the plate. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS 

Taking the REDS. No way Cleveland gets swept right? They have Bieber pitching today! He won the Cy Young last year. Super. That's fine and dandy. Do you trust the Indians bats here? Miley has been great in his first 2 starts. He can regress and still look good vs this lineup. Have to take the home dogs at this price. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS

4* Total Money UNDER Tampa/ Yanks

4* Total Money OVER Dbacks/ Nats

4* Cold Cash OVER Sharks/ Wild

Taking the BREWERS. Looking for a bounce back tonight. I think Pitt sent their best arm to the hill last night. Cahill is a journeyman 4th starter at best in my eyes. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

Taking the RANGERS, again. I like Dunning. A former 1st round pick in 2016 of the Nats, traded with Lucas Giolito for Adam Eaton. Then flipped to Texas for Lance Lynn. He pitched in 7 games last year to a 3.97 ERA 35Ks in 34 innings and only 25 hits allowed. He looked crisp in his limited 2 starts 4 and 5 inning. So just 9 total innings, but 5 hits and 11 strike outs and 2 walks. Kremer got his break last year with 4 starts posting a 4.82 ERA in 18.2 innings of work with 22 strikeouts. In his 2 starts this season, he has been hit a bit giving up 9 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings reflecting in a bloated 10+ ERA, a 346 BAA and a 2.33 WHIP. Not sure how the Friday game plays out, but I again be on Texas as a short fave. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Giants/ Marlins 

Same write up from Friday -- Grabbing KC. We love our Royals. They haven't been kind to us total wise in recent days. And we didn't have them side wise either. But, count us today on them as they sit in 1st place after 3 straight wins. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS

Taking the DIAMONDBACKS. I do like me some Luke Weaver. This kid is a good pitcher when healthy. And he looks pretty good out of the gate so far this season. 12.1 innings 1 walk 11Ks and a tidy .47 WHIP and .116 BAA. I think we have the edge on the mound this afternoon. Fedde another former 1st Rounder but has yet to show much. This year not off to a good start. 6.1 innings 6 strikeouts, but 5 walks and 8 hits allowed. A 320 BA Against and a WHIP over 8. Again. Edge Arizona on the hill should be the difference maker today. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 

Taking the RAYS. Have to grab Glasnow at this price. Guy is a beast right now. 3 starts, 29Ks in 19.1 innings 3 walks and just 7 hits. A .51 WHIP and .108 BAA is reflected in his .47 ERA. Monty looked shaky vs Tampa last game. Walks. Hit a guy twice. This team is reeling now in last place after its 3rd straight loss. No way the Yanks lose again right? They are the Yankees! 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS 

4* PL Money WASHINGTON CAPITALS 

4* Total Money OVER Caps/Flyers

Taking the DODGERS, going RUN LINE. I think Buehler is the best pitcher on this LA staff. Will gladly lay the runs. San Diego can pitch. A league leading 2.38 ERA. LA not far behind at 2.85. Dodgers also leading all teams with a .285 batting average. This isn't Yu. Or Snell. Or no-hitter Musgrave. This is rookie Ryan Weathers. Making his 1st career start. Vs the reigning World Series Champs. No pressure rook. 4* RL Money LA DODGERS 

Taking the MARINERS. Fading away on Astros who have now lost 5 straight. Seattle has won 5 of 6. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

4* RL Money OAKLAND A's 

Taking the RANGERS. Now 3 in a row for Texas. Orioles. Well, after that nice 3-0 sweep of Boston to start the year, reality has set in and they have dropped 2 straight and 8 of 10. Small fave gets the nod based on recent play. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS

Taking the PHILLIES. Coming in off rain out, we get to send out Eflin who I like a lot more than C-Mart. I am not high on St Louis. Think we have edge on the hill. Cards has lost 3 straight before exploding for that 14-3 win over Nats, then lost the next day. So losses in 4 of 5 which really off sets Philly dropping 3 straight including a double header to the Mets. STL with the 26th worse ERA in the majors at 5.09, and 3rd worse WHIP. Give me the home faves. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

4* Total Money UNDER Flames/Montreal

4* Total Money UNDER Pacers/ Jazz

Taking the DODGERS, going RUN LINE. I almost want to play on Gomber as a nice dog at this price. But his control is worrisome. Until he finds some control, we will continue to see him out of games early. In his first start vs LAD, 7 walks in 3 innings, only 1 hit allowed. 2nd start vs San Fran, 4 walks in 6.1, also 5 Ks. But the pitch count gets up and then you get middle relievers. 2 hits in 9.1 innings with 7 strike outs seems OK. Then you see 11 walks in those innings and think this is a gas-can next to an open fire pit. Urias hasn't taken an L in a game since 2019 covering 13 games, (12 starts). In fact August of 2019. So that ups his numbers to 24 games and 14 starts. I'll lay the number here with LA. 4* RL Money LA DODGERS 

Taking OAKLAND, going RUN LINE. Tigers stringing together some wins. But give me the A's here at home. They themselves have found their stroke at the place and have won 4 straight and 5 of 6 after an 0-6 start. 4* RL Money OAKLAND A's

4* Total Money UNDER Preds/ Canes

4* Total Money UNDER Indians/ Sox

Taking the RED SOX. How do we get in front of this freight train right now. Best offense going in the Majors. Have to take them as any kind of dog. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX 

Taking the REDS. In this spot, we are fading Cueto. Guy off a CG. In April? Abbreviated 2020. 2018 and 2019 he pitched a total of 13 games. Plus. He's 35. Give me the young guy with a better lineup. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS

Taking the RED SOX. 7 straight now for Boston. Now way the Twins lose 4 in a row right? Road dogs get it done. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX

4* Total Money OVER Angels/ Royals

4* RL Money LA DODGERS

4* Total Money  UNDER Reds/ Giants

4* Cold Cash DALLAS STARS

4* Total Money UNDER Panthers/ Stars

4* Total Money OVER Angels/ Royals 

Taking the PHILLIES. How do we not take Nola here. I don't even know what is going to happen in the Monday night game - (we are on the Phillies there also). But Nola, 8-2 3.26 ERA career 17 starts vs NYM is getting the nod either way. I will toss aside last years 4 ERA. He sported 2.63 and 2.15 in the 2 full years prior. As I have said here, and in the live shows. The Mets are not hitting.  This is not a knock on Taijuan Walker. I like the guy. But I feel much more confident in Nola and the Philly bats than I do with Mets batter with any pitcher on the hill.  4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Taking the NATS. Give me Stras getting any kind of plus money. Looked good in his first start of the year. I am not high on the Redbirds. Can't really rely on Stras career numbers, though good vs STL. They are just dated. Same with Flaherty lone start in 2018 vs Nats. We have Stras looking sharp, and Flaherty looking so so. Soto my guy for MVP and I looking for him and Turner to have big night at the dish to carry us to the win. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Taking MILWAUKEE. Cubs still not hitting. They have their best pitcher on the hill today. But our guy isn't too shabby. Again. Huge edge to our bullpen when needed. Will also be on the Under in this game. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS

4* Total Money UNDER

4* Total Money  UNDER Yanks/ Jays

(right up from Monday rain-out) Taking the PHILLIES. Who the heck are the Mets to be favored over anyone? This team can't score runs. Last time I checked, you needed to score at least 1 run and have the other team score zero to win. Phillies took 2 of 3 from the New York last week. Tough for me to grab them off a big Sunday Night win over the Braves. Not a chance I can back NY as a fave vs a team that has beaten them 9 of the last 13. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the GIANTS. Give me streaking San Fran tonight. 4 straight for the home team. Reds in off 2 losses. Cincy off to a nice start, 6 straight wins. But don't tell me they can't lose 3 straight. Giants always a scrappy bunch. Everyone will be on Reds because of their fast time. They will fail to notice they were nearly swept in Arizona. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS 

Going UNDER the total here. I was leaning towards taking the Indians in this spot. Cleveland has won 6 straight over White Sox. Winners of 4 in a row. I just don't like betting on spot starters. Under has cashed 8 of the last 11 meetings. Sox in off 2 unders against Royals. Field playing large right now. 4* Total Money UNDER Indians/Sox

Taking KANSAS CITY. Will grab Singer and the Royals as small dogs here. We do like both of these teams. Have a AL West future on LAA, and a season Win Total Over on KC. That being said, i like this youngster Singer. A 1st rounder from 2018, he had a nice 2019 in the minors and solid 2021 Spring. I think he has a little edge here vs the hitters. I think KC bats can put several up on the board against Cobb. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS

Taking the BREWERS. Almost want to go Run Line at nearly +150 here. Cubs really floundering right now. We cashed the Pirates yesterday over them. Pitt actually won 2 of 3. The offense continues to sputter for Chicago. Nothing from their bats. Milwaukee busted out a bit vs Cards. You know I am high on these guys. Love a couple of the starters and love the bullpen. Sign me up at this price. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

4* Cold Cash UNDER Toronto/ Montreal 

4* Cold Cash DALLAS STARS

4* Cold Cash UNDER Rangers/ Islanders

4* Cold Cash WASHINGTON CAPITALS

Taking ARIZONA. Reds playing with fire in the first 2 games of this series. They pulled it out in extra innings Friday night. As I write this Saturday night, they are in a 2-1 dogfight in the 5th. I always liked Luke Weaver since he came up with the Cards. Nothing super special about his road start in Colorado. I would love to see the 2019 version reappear after the disaster he spun in 2020. De Leon is here because Sonny Gray is out. He pitched Ok in his first start since 2016 with the Dodgers! 5 innings 3 hits 2 earned. Problem though, 2 hits were  HRs. If we toss out his 4 starts in 2016 for LA, we see 9 games 12.2 innings 16 Earned Runs on 13 hits. Heck in 2016 - 17 runs, 12 earned in 17 innings of work. Safe to say the guy give up runs and is really a 4A type pitcher shuffling in when someone goes down. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 

Going OVER today. So we took a PPD with the Over and White Sox plays on Saturday. We will come back again with just the Over. As I look at this line tonight, I see that KC has shaved all 10 dollars from what it was on Friday night. We know that CWS hits lefty, so we expect some runs. You know I am high on the KC bats - Cease with average numbers vs Royals in 4 career starts. 4* Total Money OVER Royals/ White Sox 

4* RL Money CLEVELAND INDIANS

Taking the PIRATES. This is the only starter who I really like for Pitt. We got a nice little offensive outburst last night. I think it will continue this afternoon. Cubs still having problems hitting. 4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES

4* Total Money OVER Reds/ Dbacks

4* Cold Cash MINNESOTA WILD

Going UNDER, again here between Phillies and Braves. These guys combined for 15 strike outs last Sunday. I think they are still ahead of the bats on either team. 4* Total Money UNDER Philly/Atlanta

4* Cold Cash CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS 

Taking the RANGERS. Just got no-hit. This was a play I was looking at anyway to fade Paddack. Big step back last year from his 2019 season. Again. Bad enough getting shut-out. Add in getting no-hit. Have to take the dogs here. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS 

Going UNDER the total. And why wouldn't we go Under here? Cubs wouldn't have found water if they were on the Titantic. 6 straight unders since going over Opening Day. Pirates went over Opening Day also. We had them, beating these Cubbies. They were shelled twice by the Reds. But Cincy has been crushing everyone. Toss that aside. This is an under hitting club like Chicago. 4* Total Money UNDER Cubs/Pirates

Taking OAKLAND. We have had the Astros the last 2 nights as Run Line plays. But I am backing Montas here. In his 7 starts vs Houston, a decent 3.55 ERA. Urquidy has nice stats for 3 starts over 3 years vs Oakland. 5 -6 - 4.1 innings in those 3 starts though. Friday's game is scoreless heading top 4. I do want Houston to pull out a 2 run win. That being said, I think Montas bounces back from a bad first start. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's 

4* Cold Cash PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

Taking the METS, going RUN LINE. We are just a week and a half into the MLB season - but if you haven't caught on to the fact that I don't play huge ML faves, well, I don't know what to tell you. I will grab New York with the short juice here on the Run Line. DeGrom is going to throw like a champ like always does. Can we get 3 runs? That is the question. Mets again afraid to hit the ball - with bats. Leaning your body into the ball, seems like a good idea to them. 4* RL Money NY METS

Taking the REDS. Maybe a square play. But how do we get in front of these guys the way they are hitting? I can't. Give me Cincy and will be also looking to play the OVER here as well. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

4* Total Money OVER Reds/ Dbacks

Taking the ASTROS, going RUN LINE, again. Houston has put up 35 runs against these guys in 4 games in Oakland. That isn't counting last night when we had them RL and it was 6-0 in the 8th. So, Houston, if that score holds up, has beaten the A's 41-9 the last 5 games. I'll take another shot that they hammer them again tonight. 4* RL Money HOUSTON ASTROS 

Going UNDER the total. Braves not hitting a lick right now. Wheeler really tied them up in his first start. Morton got a bit more roughed up. I think he rebounds - and even if Wheeler isn't as dominate, I can't see this being a wild, high scoring affair. 4* Total Money UNDER Phillies/ Braves

Going OVER the total here. Why do I feel like LA is going to put up 10 runs on their own this afternoon? Joe Ross is not a good a pitcher.  Dodgers hurt us the other day by going 2 for 20 with RISP and not being able to push across a Run Line win for us. I don't think that will be a problem vs this depleted Washington team. 4* Total Money OVER Nats/ Dodgers

Taking the ASTROS, going RUN LINE. So we lost with the Dodgers RL yesterday over these same A's. Going 2-20 with RISP is not going to get you many wins when you can't push runs across the plate when they are sitting in scoring position. Houston has owned these guys winning 7 of the last 8. Javier pitching at home last year posted a 2.17 ERA in 6 games (5 starts 3-0). The -155 / -160 would be the top of my limit when laying with a favorite. If you like that instead of the run line. But I will try for a little extra money. 4* RL Money HOUSTON ASTROS 

4* Cold Cash DALLAS STARS 

4* Total Money OVER Lakers/ Heat 

4* Cold Cash UNDER Panthers/ Hurricanes

4* Total Money OVER Angels/ Jays - I said we would be looking at Jays over at their new 'home' park in Florida. Let's start it off with the home opened. 

Taking the CUBS. Now. Not a fan of the Cubbies. But I have to take any team laying this short a number vs the Pirates. We did cash Pitt what seemed like years ago. That my friends, their lone win on the season. Absolutely reeling right now. Cubs in off loss. But Arrieta with a 2.87 ERA in 24 career starts vs Pitt. Held them in check during the opening series collecting a win. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS 

4* Money Maker UTAH JAZZ

4* Cold Cash UNDER Canadiens/ Leafs

Taking the PADRES, going RUN LINE. If you haven't noticed a week into the season - I think the gap between the top teams, and everyone else is a big one. Gausman had a nice year for SF last season. But I think the San Diego is something special. Lay the runs, again, 4* RL Money SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Taking the PHILLIES. Almost went run line here looking at that nice +140 money. But I am confident in Nola today. Philly just playing well right now. Nola is looking to add some Cy Young hardware and I think he dominates the Mets in this start. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Taking the DODGERS, going RUN LINE. I will continue to say this. The A's are just not a team I am interested right now. Hey. Maybe they erupt and destroy Kershaw Tuesday night. As I am doing this write up, we haven't even seen a first pitch in that game. But they don't look good right now. I get LAD at basically even money, even while I have to win by 2 runs. I will buy all day. 4* RL Money LA DODGERS 

Taking the REDS, going RL. Castillo got a little roughed up vs the Cards. Not expecting much offense from the slumping Pirates. Already down 5-0 early Tuesday, they are well on the way to their 4th straight loss. Cincy looking at 4 in a row if they hold on. We won't lay 2-1, but getting a couple bucks Run Line, count us in. 4* RL Money CINCINNATI REDS

Taking the PADRES, going RUN LINE. Yeah. Again. Give me Yu here. He should have a better outing than Opening Day. That being said, we are really to fade away on Aaron Sanchez here. First regular season game since 2019. Off an injury. Off a Spring Training that he posted a 7.94 ERA allowing 9 hits in 5.2 innings. 5 strike outs. But 2 Walks and 3 Hit Batters! I am thinking a short leash as he gets back to MLB strength. San Diego offense you know we like a bit. 4* RL Money SAN DIEGO PADRES  

Taking the DODGERS, going RUN LINE. Again. Don't even know what happened last night. Game hasn't even started. But I am not about Oakland at all. Give me this LA lineup everyday. They can hit. Kershaw is still a solid pitcher. The bullpen is good. Can we really find many flaws on LAD? Dodgers getting plus money on RL. Yes please. 4* RL Money LA DODGERS 

4* Cold Cash DALLAS STARS

4* Cold Cash WASHINGTON

4* Cold Cash PITT PENGUINS

Taking the YANKEES, going RUN LINE. Ok. Had the Orioles last night not knowing what I get out of Montgomery and them coming in off a nice series vs Boston. Well. Things are back to normal in the AL East universe. Baltimore getting absolutely bombed by the Yankees. Will take Cole at this price. New York should be able to muster a few runs tonight. Going into last nights game, the Over was 51-15-1 last  67 games if that is an angle you like. 4* RL Money NEW YORK YANKEES

Taking the NATIONALS. Now. Normally I would be avoiding the Nats over their Covid lockdown. But I can not avoid Mad Max at this price. I get a guy who comes out and will fire for 8 innings, at this number. Forget about it. Are you that high on Smyly? The Braves, in off getting swept in Philly. Bats are asleep right now. Facing a guy like Scherzer. Even with guys out for Covid, and yeah, at this price, we are probably without a guy or two, I will back Washington. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

4* Total Money OVER Giants/Padres
