Game# 737-738

Play On: Under 214.0 (5*)

These Southwest Division rivals have met twice in Houston this season, both games went under the total, and there was a combined 204.0 points scored per contest. Counting those 2 contests, Houston is 10-1 under the total at home this season when facing opponents with a win percentage of .700 or better. The Spurs will look to slow the high-flying Rockets down tonight by turning this into a half-court game. San Antonio has been one of the top defensive NBA teams from an efficiency standpoint. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Utah @ Golden State 10:35 PM ET

Game# 507-508

Play On: Under 207.0 (10*)

You may be surprised to know that Golden State has gone under the total in 13 straight games this season when the total is 214.0 or less. These teams have met 4 times this season, and each of those games have gone under the total. The average total in those head to head meetings was 207.8, and there were a combined 196.8 points scored per game. Utah is adept at slowing tempo to their liking, evidenced by allowing opponents 82 field goal attempts or less in each of their 7 playoff games in 2017. The Warriors have the reputation of being a high scoring and dynamic offensive team. However, they’re vastly underrated defensively. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

White Sox (Holland) @ Royals (Kennedy) 2:15 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Under 7.5 (10*)

The Royals right-hander Ian Kennedy has been terrific thus far in 2017. Kennedy has been especially exceptional over his last 3 starts while posting a superb 1.33 ERA and 0.74 WHIP. Kansas City is 16-8-3 under the total this season and that includes 3-0 under during their previous 3 games.

The White Sox are 10-5-1 under this season when facing a right handed starting pitcher. During those 16 games, Chicago scored a paltry average of 2.7 runs per outing, and had an awful .189 team batting average.  The White Sox lost to Kansas City 6-1 on Wednesday, and are 7-0 under the total this season following a game in which they scored 1 runs or less. The weather forecast call for wins of 15 MPH blowing in from left-centerfield this afternoon. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Houston @ San Antonio 9:35 PM ET

Game# 733-734

Play On: Over 216.0 (10*)

Houston attempted 50 three-point field goals during their 126-99 win in the opening game of this series, and more importantly made 22 of those attempts. The 2 teams also combined to shoot 63 free throws, and converted on an extremely good 82.5% of those attempts. During the past 3 seasons, these teams have played each other 6 times in San Antonio, and 5 of those contests went over the total.

Since the 1996 NBA Playoffs, any 2nd round game with a total of 210.0 or more, resulted in those contests going 39-18 (68.4%) over the total. This situation has come up 4 times already in 2017, and all those games went over the total. The average total in those 57 previously mentioned games was 215.2, and there were a combined 222.4 points scored per contest. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Indians (Carrasco) @ Tigers (Boyd) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 969-970

Play On: Under 7.5 (10*)

Indians starter Carlos Carrasco has made 5 starts against Detroit since 2016, and compiled a brilliant 1.11 ERA during those outings. Carrasco has compiled an excellent 2.04 ERA and 0.79 WHIP during 5 starts in 2017. Cleveland’s bullpen hasn’t allowed an earned run in 9 straight games.

This will be Cleveland’s 12th game facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Boyd) this season. They went 8-2-1 under the total on the first 11 occasions while averaging a mere 2.9 runs scored per game. Cleveland will be facing a Detroit team today that averages 5.0 runs scored per game. Since 2016, Cleveland is 10-1 under the total against American League teams that average 4.9 or more runs scored per game.

Southpaw Matt Boyd is a much better pitcher than his overall season statistics indicate. Although, those numbers aren’t bad to begin with. Boyd has made 2 starts at home in 2017 while posting a stellar 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. In his 1 start versus Cleveland, Boyd allowed only 1 earned run during 6.0 innings of work. After a shaky start to the season, the Tigers bullpen has shown dramatic improvement over their last 7 games. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Utah @ Golden State 10:35 PM ET

Game# 503-504

Play On: Under 208.0

Dating back to last season, these teams have seen each of the 6 games played against one another stay under the total. Utah is adept at slowing the pace of games down to their liking, and they’ll have to be successful in doing so against an up-tempo opponent like Golden State. This will be just the 10th Golden State game this season with a total of 210.0 or less, and each of the previous 8 have gone under the total. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Ottawa @ NY Rangers 7:05 PM ET

Game# 51-52

Play On: Under 5.0 (5*)

Considering the previous game in this series saw a combined 11 goals being scored, it will be awfully enticing for bettors to go over the total. Nevertheless, I’m using the contrarian approach and going against conventional wisdom. The Rangers went under the total in all 3 of their home playoff games thus far. Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundquist was extremely shaky during a 6-5 overtime loss at Ottawa on Saturday. Sir Henrik has historically bounced back from poor playoff performances during his illustrious career with gems in his following start.

Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson has made 4 starts against the Rangers this season, including the first 2 games of this playoff series. and has compiled an excellent .948 save percentage in those outings. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Game# 957-958

Play On: Over 8.0 (5*)

The Brewers starter Davies has seen all 5 of his starts go over the total this season while posting a sizable 6.57 ERA and 1.87 WHIP. Milwaukee has seen 6 of its last 7 and 11 of their previous 13 games go over the total. They’re also 10-2 over when there’s a total of either 8.0 or 8.5. Milwaukee has belted an impressive 42 home runs already in 2017.

St. Louis has a .306 team batting average in addition to a .854 OPS during their previous 7 games. They’ve also gone over the total in 6 straight games.

Both bullpens have been shaky at best in 2017. Hitters will be aided by 15 MPH winds blowing out to dead center this evening. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

San Antonio @ Memphis 8:05 PM ET

Game# 505-506

Play On: Under 188.0 (5*)

The total in this game is so low for good reason. The pace of the first 3 games of this series has been played at a snail’s pace. San Antonio has averaged an extremely low 70 field goal attempts per game, and Memphis has hoisted up a still below NBA standard 79.3 per contest. Game 3 was won by Memphis 105-94 and easily went over the closing total of 188.0. However, Memphis has gone under the total in 7 of its last 8 games after going over during their previous outing.

Kansas City (Karns) @ Texas (Hamels) 8:05 PM ET

Game# 969-970

Play On: Under 8.5 (10*)

Both teams have been anemic offensively this season. Kansas City is averaging a paltry 2.7 runs per game so far in 2017. Conversely, Texas possesses an awful .206 team batting average. If not for each team’s above average power numbers, their offensive statistics would look even worse than it already does. Hitting home runs may be an issue this evening. The weather forecast in Arlington, Texas is calling for winds blowing in from right-field at 15-18 MPH.

Kansas City has gone under the total in 7 straight games, and allowed only a combined 7 runs during that time span. The Royals have also scored just 4 runs combined over their previous 4 games. The Royals starting pitcher Nate Karns has compiled a stellar 1.54 ERA in his last 2 outings. The Kansas City bullpen that struggled to start the year has performed sensationally of late. Kansas City reliever have a cumulative 1.86 ERA during the Royals last 7 games. The Royals inept batting order will be facing a very tough southpaw pitcher tonight in veteran Cole Hamels. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Game# 61-62

Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Ottawa @ Boston 7:05 PM ET

Game# 59-60

Play On: Over 5.0 (5*)

The first 5 days of these 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs saw just 4 of 16 games go over the total. The pendulum has swung dramatically in that regard. The last 2 days have seen games go 7-0-1 over the total. Ottawa has won each of the previous 2 games in this series by identical 4-3 scores. Neither starting goaltender was very good in each of those contests, with Tuukka Rask compiling an awful .869 save percentage, and Craig Anderson wasn’t much better at .878.

Phillies (Velazquez) @ Mets (Gsellman) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 955-956

The Phillies bullpen has been shaky thus far in 2017, proven by a lofty 5.01 ERA as a staff, and they’ve allowed an alarmingly high 13 home runs in 46 2/3 innings. Considering the Mets are on pace to hit 197 home runs this year, it doesn’t bide well for Philadelphia’s pitching tonight.

Robert Gsellman has been a bit erratic in his first 2 starts of 2017. He’s compiled a massive 10.24 ERA and 1.66 WHIP during those outings. The Mets bullpen has been inconsistent thus far, and that’s proven by their 1.59 WHIP as a staff. The Mets are averaging 5.4 runs per outing and belted 10 home runs in their previous 7 games.

These teams have seen each of their last 3 meetings this season go over the total, and there were a combined average 11.7 runs scored per game. The weather forecast call for 11 to 13 miles per hour winds blowing out to left field. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Game# 911-912

Game# 503-504

Play On: Under 200.0 (5*)

Milwaukee struggled mightily to generate offense in their last 5 games. During that time frame, the Bucks averaged a paltry 88.2 points per game, and played at a snail’s pace by amassing just 79 field goal attempts per contest which is well below NBA standards.

Detroit (Verlander) @ Cleveland (Klueber) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 965-966

Play On: Over 8.0 (5*)

I know these are two high quality starting pitchers going at it today in Cleveland. However, there will be substantial 17 MPH winds blowing out to right-field that will especially aid left-handed hitters. Furthermore, since 2015, these team have gone 28-9 over the total when playing each other, and that includes 16-3 over at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

Houston @ LA Clippers 10:35 PM ET

Game# 713-714

Play On: Over 229.0 (5*)

The Clippers went under the total in their previous game, and from a handicapping standpoint that significant. Los Angeles has gone over the total in 11 straight contests following an under in their previous game. Houston has allowed 112 points or more during 11 of their last 17 games.

These teams have met twice this season and there were a combined 159 three-point attempts taken. It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise since Houston averages 40 three-point attempts per game and that leads all NBA teams in that category. Houston also went to the free throw line 76 times in those games versus the Clippers. Conversely, the Clippers had 94 and 96 field goal attempts during those 2 contests, and that’s well above their season average of 83 per outing. Obviously, Houston did a very good job on both occasions of speeding the game up to their preferred fast tempo.

Minnesota @ LA Lakers 9:35 PM ET

Game# 513-514

Play On: Over 219.0 (5*)

I’ve followed NBA situations such as these very closely during the past few season, and made some valuable observations while doing so. When NBA teams who are eliminated from playoff contention face one another in the final 2 weeks of regular season action, those games go over the rate at a very high rate. As a matter of fact, 8 games have met that criteria since 3/29/17, and 6 of those went over the total. The only 2 games that didn’t go over the number involved Sacramento.

The Timberwolves and Lakers have met 3 times this season, and each one of those contests went over the total. There was a combined average of 232.0 points scored per game. Furthermore, dating back to 2015, the last 7 meeting between these teams have all gone over the total.

Both teams have been horrible defensively during each of their previous 5 games. During that time frame, Minnesota has allowed 115.6 points per game, and their opponents have shot a combined 51.0% while converting on an alarmingly high 45.4% of its 3-point attempts. Conversely, the Lakers have allowed their opponents to shoot 49.3% and make 42.0% of their 3-point attempts. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Dodgers (Maeda) @ Rockies (Anderson) 3:10 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Under 10.0 (5*)

Kent Maeda has made 3 career starts at Coors Field, and all have been quite impressive. Each of those outings occurred last year, and Maeda compiled an excellent 2.12 ERA in addition to a microscopic 0.76 WHIP.

Tyler Anderson made 8 starts in day games a season ago, and all those outings stayed under the total. Much was due in part to Anderson’s sparkling 2.45 ERA during those starts. Anderson also pitched very well in 3 starts against the Dodgers last season, evidenced by his brilliant 1.83 ERA posted in those appearances.

Both team’s bullpens have been outstanding to start the season. Colorado has gone under the total in each of their previous 4 games, and Los Angeles has done the same during 4 of its last 5. Lastly, the wins will be blowing in from left-centerfield at 19 MPH during today’s game. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Washington (Guthrie) @ Philadelphia (Nola) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 903-904

Play On: Over 5.5 (5*)

The Nationals will go with 38-year-old Jeremy Guthrie on the mound. Guthrie spent all last season pitching in AAA baseball, and posted a large 7.17 ERA and 1.77 WHIP during 17 starts. He doesn’t figure to get much help from a Washington bullpen that so far has a sizable 7.94 ERA and 1.94 WHIP as a staff. On a positive note, Washington’s bats have been alive, proven by an impressive .938 OPS as a team thus far.

Aaron Nola made 6 starts during spring training games, and compiled a hefty 8.38 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 19 1/3 innings pitched. Nola has made 3 career home starts against Washington, all have come since 2015, and he had a terrible 8.43 ERA during those outings while surrendering 6 home runs in only 16.0 innings. Philadelphia’s bullpen has been shaky thus far, posting a lofty 5.40 ERA as a staff, and has given up 4 home runs in just 13 1/3 innings. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

NY Yankees (Tanaka) @ Baltimore (Gausman) 4:05 PM ET

Game# 921-922

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Masahiro Tanaka had a near perfect spring training, and then threw a dud on opening day. That leads me to strongly believe he’ll have a strong bounce back performance today. Tanaka has made 5 career starts (all since 2014) against Baltimore and posted a stellar 2.39 ERA during those outings. Only 1 of those 5 starts came at Camden Yards and that took place last season. Tanaka pitched 8 scoreless innings in that outing. The Yankees bullpen has been lights out in their first 4 games, evidenced by a brilliant .054 ERA as a staff, and 20 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings.

Kevin Gausman saw all 6 starts against the Yankees go under the total last season, and he was a major reason why. Gausman had an excellent 1.10 ERA during those outings, and allowed just 1 earned run in 20.0 innings during 3 starts at Camden Yards. The Orioles bullpen has yet to allow an earned run thus far. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Game# 721-722

Play On: Over 134.5 (5*)

These teams met twice during regular season action, and the home team won on each occasion. The one thing which stood out more than anything else in those 2 matchups was the intense physicality exhibited by both teams. That’s further proven by a combined 111 free throws attempted in those contests. That 55.5 free throw attempts per game average is an extremely high number no matter how you cut it. The teams also combined for 62 turnovers during those meetings, and it often lead to outnumbered offensive transition opportunities.

South Carolina held Baylor to a mere 22 points in the first half during Friday’s 70-50 Gamecocks win. South Carolina is allowing 64.8 points per game this season, and Florida is giving up 66.2 points per contest. The combination of this data sets up a very profitable college basketball betting angle pertaining to the total.

Any neutral court team (South Carolina) with a total of 130.0 to 139.5, and they allowed 25 points or less in the first half of their previous game, and both teams are allowing between 63 to 67 points per contest, resulted in those games going 25-5 (83.3%) over the total during the past 5 seasons.

The Bearcats are also 8th nationally in field goal percentage defense (38.5%). On the flip side of the equation Cincinnati has encountered shooting struggles of late. As a matter of fact, they compiled a shooting percentage of 38.3% or less in 6 of its last 11 games. Since Mick Cronin has taken over as head coach at Cincinnati, they’ve gone 29-13 (69%) under the total in non-conference lined games.

Kansas State is coming off a 95-88 win over Wake Forest in their opening NCAA Tournament game on Wednesday night in Dayton. The Wildcats shot a season best 66% from the field in that game. That was by far their best shooting percentage in a game all season long.

That contest easily went under the total of 139.0, both teams shot an awful 35%, and there was only a combined 102 field goal attempts taken. If not for both teams combining to go 51-69 (7.9%) from the free throw line, the contest would’ve been hard pressed to reach 110 points scored.  I’ll go out on a limb, and predict that we won’t see anywhere close to a combined 69 free throws like we saw in the first meeting.

Game# 101-102

Play On: Under 59.0 (5*)

Both teams receive a lot of notoriety for their high-powered offenses and rightfully so. However, each defense is vastly underrated, and that’s especially the case with New England. The Patriots have allowed a mere 15.7 points per game this season and that’s a NFL best. New England has allowed 17 points or less in 8 of their last 9 and each of its previous 5 games. Atlanta’s defense looked to be an enigma for them during the 1st half of the season, but the unit drastically improved late in the year. As a matter of fact, Atlanta has allowed 21 points or less in 5 of their last 6 games. These teams committed the least number of turnovers in the NFL this season. Atlanta turned it over just 11 times in 18 games, and New England committed only 13 turnovers in 18 contests. The point being, there’s a low probability of defensive touchdowns being scored, or short fields created by defensive turnovers. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Texas A&M @ LSU 9:00 PM ET

Game# 683-684
