05-26-17	Rangers v. Blue Jays OVER 9		6-7	Win	100	9 h 11 m	Show
MLB BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 4-0-1 in the last five meetings between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers, and we should see plenty of runs in Friday's opener of a three-game series at Rogers Centre. Mike Bolsinger (0-2, 6.32 ERA) will toe the slab for the Jays. The 29 year old right-hander has given up 12 runs on 17 hits and 11 walks through 15 2/3 innings of work this season. The Rangers hand the ball to A.J. Griffin (4-1, 5.02 ERA) who was torched by the Tigers at Comerica Park his last time out. Griffin was charged with nine runs on nine hits with four homers through just 3 1/3 frames. He has served up seven homers in his last two starts. Over is 7-2-1 in Griffins last 10 starts vs. a team with a losing record and 6-2 in Blue Jays last eight games vs. a right-handed starter. We can also note that the Jays are expected to have shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (hamstring) and third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) back from injury.
05-25-17	Rockies v. Phillies OVER 8.5	Top	1-2	Loss	-110	14 h 50 m	Show
Top Rated 10* MLB BIG HITTER Play: Over Rating: 10/10* Over is 7-0 in the last seven head-to-head meetings following the Rockies' 7-2 victory on Wednesday. I think we'll see another high-scoring encounter Thursday afternoon. Tyler Anderson (3-4, 6.00 ERA) takes the ball for the Rockies. He's 2-2 with a 6.66 ERA in five road starts this season and was charged with five runs in five innings in his lone day start of the season. Over is 4-1 in Anderson's last five road starts. Against the Phillies Anderson has gone 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA in two career starts. Philadelphia hands the ball to Vince Velasquez (2-4, 5.98 ERA) who has posted a 7.25 ERA in four starts home at Citizen’s Bank Park this season. Against the Rockies he is 1-0 with a 5.91 ERA in two career starts. Over is 8-1 in Velasquez's last nine starts overall. Over is 6-0 in Rockies last 6 overall and 5-1-1 in Phillies last seven overall.
05-24-17	Mariners v. Nationals OVER 9		1-5	Loss	-108	20 h 33 m	Show
MLB 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Washington Nationals defeated the Seattle Mariners 10-1 on Tuesday to make it 12-1 in the last 13 in the series. I think their dominance continues Wednesday night as they hand the ball to Tanner Roark (3-2, 4.73 ERA). Roark is coming off a pair of rough outings, but he's usually solid home at National Park, going 23-14 behind a 2.97 ERA in 63 career appearances (44 starts). The Nationals are 8-2 in Roark's last 10 Wednesday starts and 16-5 in his last 21 starts vs. a team with a losing record. The Mariners have plenty of injuries to their starting pitchers and hand the ball to 27 year old rookie Sam Gaviglio (0-0, 1.29 ERA). The right-hander has done well in his previous two appearances in the big leagues and shut out the White Sox through five innings home at Safeco his last time out. Taking on the Nats at Nationals Stadium should prove a much tougher task though, and he might not get a lot of backup from a bullpen that has been asked to cover a lot of innings lately. Look for the Nats to win a high-scoring contest.
05-24-17	Reds v. Indians OVER 9.5		4-3	Loss	-100	19 h 41 m	Show
MLB 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Cleveland Indians won Tuesday's matchup 8-7, and odds are we'll see another high-scoring encounter Wednesday night. The Indians hand the ball to Trevor Bauer (4-4, 6.65 ERA) who has allowed four runs or more in four of his eight starts this season, and he has struggled with the long ball all season. Bauer is 1-2 with a 5.52 ERA through 14 2/3 innings in his three career starts against the Reds who turn to Lisalverto Bonilla (0-2, 6.38 ERA) who will make his fourth appearance for the season. The 26 year old was charged with six runs on eight hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings of a 12-6 loss to the Rockies his last time out. He's served up four homers through 18 1/3 frames this season. Over is 9-2 in Reds last 11 vs. a team with a winning record and 14-3 in Indians last 17 interleague games vs. a team with a losing record.
05-23-17	Pirates v. Braves OVER 9	Top	5-6	Win	100	20 h 17 m	Show
Top Rated 10* MLB BIG HITTER Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Atlanta Braves won Monday's series opener 5-2, but I think we'll see more runs scored in tonight's contest. Note that over is 6-2 in the last eight head-to-head matchups. R.A. Dickey (3-3, 4.13 ERA) takes the ball for Atlanta. He allowed six runs (three earned) on nine hits and four walks in a 6-4 loss to Pittsburgh in his season debut. The knuckleballer has struggled with his control all year and walked 21 through 48 innings of work. Over is 4-1 in Dickey's last five starts overall. The Pirates hand the ball to Tyler Glasnow (2-3, 7.34 ERA) who has struggled all season. He gave up four runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks in five innings of a 10-4 win against Washington his last time out. Much like Dickey, Glasnow has struggled with his command walking 24 through 34 1/3 frames this season. Over is 6-0-1 in Glasnow's last seven starts overall. Over is 10-1 in Braves last 11 Tuesday games.
05-22-17	Warriors v. Spurs OVER 216		129-115	Win	100	22 h 46 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Each of the first three games of this series have topped 220 points to go over the total. I think we'll see another high-scoring encounter Monday night. The Spurs have their backs against the wall, but the absence of Kawhi Leonard was particularly obvious at the defensive end of the court in Game 3. The Spurs will have to score a lot here to stand a chance as the Warriors are showing no intention of slowing down. Over is 14-3 in Spurs last 17 overall. Over is 6-1 in Warriors last seven road games.
05-22-17	Rockies v. Phillies OVER 8.5	Top	8-1	Win	100	19 h 21 m	Show
Top Rated 10* MLB BIG HITTER Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Colorado Rockies scored a total of 26 runs in taking two of three games at Cincinnati over the weekend. The Philadelphia Phillies had played four straight overs prior to a 1-0 shutout loss at Pittsburgh on Sunday. Over is 4-0 in the last four head-to-head meetings. Jerad Eickhoff (0-4, 4.53 ERA) takes the ball for the home team. The right-hander has struggled all season, and he finished six innings for the first time in five starts his last time out. Eickhoff went 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA in two starts against the Rockies last year. The Rockies turn to inexperienced 24 year old Jeff Hoffman (1-0, 5.40 ERA) who will make his second start of the season. He made six starts and eight appearances overall for the Rockies at the end of last season, going 0-4 with a 4.88 ERA. The Rockies' bullpen was asked to cover a lot of innings over the weekend, and the Phillies' relievers rank 24th in the MLB with a 4.86 ERA.
05-22-17	IFK Gothenburg v. Sundsvall UNDER 2.5		4-0	Loss	-120	3 h 42 m	Show
Allsvenskan ANNIHILATOR Play: Under Rating: 8/10* Sundsvall are among the lowest scoring teams in the Swedish top flight with a 7-6 goal differential through nine games. IFK Gothenburg are not much better with a 9-9 goal differential through eight games. Sundsvall have conceded just one goal in their last six games. Let's go with the under.
05-21-17	Rockies v. Reds OVER 9.5	Top	6-4	Win	100	14 h 3 m	Show
Top Rated 10* MLB * BIG HITTER* Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Colorado Rockies are averaging 4.91 runs per game and the Cincinnati Reds 4.93 rpg. Each of the Reds' last six games have gone over the total and the first two games of this series have seen a total of 38 runs scored. Colorado hands the ball to Kyle Freeland (4-2, 3.13 ERA) who gave up three runs on five hits and four walks through six innings of a 7-3 win against Minnesota his last time out. The southpaw has struggled with his command all season and walked 22 through 46 innings of work. Over is 6-2 in Reds last eight home games vs. a left-handed starter. The Reds turn to Bronson Arroyo (3-3, 6.31 ERA) who was knocked around for five runs on eight hits with a pair of homers through five innings of a 9-5 loss to the Cubs his last start. The bullpens are taxed and I think we'll see plenty of both early and late runs scored in this game.
05-20-17	Red Sox v. A's OVER 8.5	Top	3-8	Win	105	14 h 50 m	Show
Top Rated 10* MLB BIG HITTER Play: Over Rating: 10/10* Over is 5-1 in the Oakland Athletic's last six overall and 10-1 in the Boston Red Sox's last 11 overall. Drew Pomeranz (3-3, 5.29 ERA) takes the ball for the Red Sox. The left-hander is 0-2 with a 7.71 ERA in two road starts on the season. Over is 6-1 in Athletics last seven games vs. a left-handed starter. The A's turn to another left-hander in Sean Manaea (1-3, 5.52 ERA). He gave up four runs in five innings against Seattle his last time out despite surrendering just two hits. He did however walk five and he has walked 17 in 29 1/3 innings of work this season. Both pitchers have the potential to get into early trouble and neither bullpen is particularly rested.
05-19-17	Nationals v. Braves OVER 9	Top	4-7	Win	100	14 h 55 m	Show
Top Rated 10* MLB BIG HITTER Play: Over Rating: 10/10* Over is 23-15-2 in the Washington Nationals' games this season and 24-14 in the Atlanta Braves'. Over is 14-3 in the last 17 head-to-head meetings. The Nats' left-hander Gio Gonzalez (3-1, 2.47 ERA) is 4-9 with a 5.06 ERA in 17 starts and lost to the Braves last season while posting a 7.11 ERA. Over is 5-1-1 in Braves last seven home games vs. a left-handed starter. R.A. Dickey (3-3, 4.22 ERA) takes the ball for the Braves. The 42 year old knuckleballer has surrendered tree runs or more in all but two of his seven starts this season, and he's served up a total of nine home runs through 42 2/3 innings of work. Over is 5-1 in Nationals last six road games vs. a right-handed starter.
05-18-17	Red Sox v. A's OVER 9	Top	3-8	Win	100	22 h 12 m	Show
Top Rated 10* MLB BIG HITTER Play: Over Rating: 10/10* Both teams have been involved in several high-scoring games lately and over is 6-1 in the last seven head-to-head meetings. Sonny Gray (0-1, 3.78 ERA) takes the ball for Oakland. He held Texas to two runs on five hits through six innings his last time out. We can however note that the over is 8-0-1 in Gray's last nine starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. Gray faced Boston once last year and was torched for seven runs and eight hits in just 3 2/3 innings in a loss at Fenway Park. The Red Sox turn to rookie Hector Velazquez who will make his major league debut. He holds a 1.55 ERA and 20/5 K/BB ratio over 29 innings for Triple-A Pawtucket, but there will be a lot of pressure on him tonight. Note that Boston played several extra innings at St. Louis Wednesday night so the Red Sox bullpen will be taxed. That could spell big big problems if Velazquez was to get into early trouble.
05-17-17	Mets v. Diamondbacks OVER 9.5		4-5	Loss	-117	7 h 46 m	Show
Early Mets/D'Backs Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Over is 8-1-1 in the New York Mets' last 10 road games vs. a left-handed starter and tonight today they'll face Arizona's southpaw Patrick Corbin (3-4, 4.17 ERA) who is 0-3 with a 6.04 in his previous five appearances, four starts, against the Mets. Over is 6-0 in Corbin's last six home starts vs. a team with a losing record. The Mets hand the ball to Matt Harvey (2-3, 5.63 ERA) who has posted a 10.43 ERA during a three-game losing streak.
05-17-17	Rays v. Indians OVER 9.5		7-4	Win	100	3 h 5 m	Show
Super Early Rays/Indians Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Over is 5-0 in the Tampa Bay Rays' last five overall and 12-3 in Alex Cobb's (3-3, 3.65 ERA) last 15 starts overall. Cobb has posted a 3.57 ERA in four career starts against the Indians who have scored a total of 20 runs through their last three games. Josh Tomlin (2-4, 5.87 ERA) takes the ball for Cleveland, he is 2-2 with a 4.06 ERA in six career outings against the Rays.
05-16-17	Brewers v. Padres OVER 7.5		6-2	Win	100	11 h 52 m	Show
MLB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Milwaukee Brewers' right-hander Jimmy Nelson (1-2, 3.99 ERA) has posted a 8.00 ERA while losing both career outings at Petco Park. Over is 12-3-1 in Padres last 16 home games vs. a right-handed starter. The Padres' left-hander Clayton Richard (2-4, 4.34 ERA) has posted a 5.04 ERA in 14 career appearances (eight starts) against the Brew Crew. Over is 9-1 in Brewers last 10 road games vs. a left-handed starter.
05-15-17	Mets v. Diamondbacks OVER 9.5		3-7	Win	100	12 h 5 m	Show
MLB BATTERS BONANZA Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The New York Mets closed out last week with four straight defeats despite scoring 22 runs. Over is 12-3-1 in their last 16 road games and I predict another high-scoring game when they visit the Arizona Diamondbacks Monday night. Zack Wheeler (2-2, 4.18 ERA) takes the ball for the Mets. Wheeler has pitched pretty well this season but he's averaging only 92.7 pitches per start, and the Mets' relievers were pretty active during the weekend. Their relievers are among the worst in baseball this season with a 4.93 ERA. The Diamondbacks counter with Zack Godley (1-0, 2.25 ERA) who will make his third start for the season in place of injured Shelby Miller. He has allowed just three runs through 12 innings of work, but he posted a 6.39 ERA in 27 games (nine starts) in 2016. Over is 7-1 in Godley's last eight starts overall and 19-4-4 in the Mets' last 27 games vs. a right-handed starter. Over is 4-0 in the last four head-to-head meetings.
05-14-17	Liverpool v. West Ham United UNDER 2.5	Top	4-0	Loss	-100	9 h 42 m	Show
*Premier League GAME OF THE WEEK* Total Play: Under Rating:** 10/10* Only one of West Ham's last four games and they've scored just 19 goals in 18 games home at London Stadium this season. One of Liverpool's last four have gone over the total and they're scoring way fewer goals on the road than home at Anfield. The home team has nothing to play for at this stage of the season but playing spoiler while Liverpool is trying to hold onto its Champions League spot. West Ham have plenty of injuries but I think they'll stay compact and give Liverpool a hard time scoring. Let's go with the under.
05-13-17	Swansea City v. Sunderland UNDER 2.5		2-0	Win	100	11 h 1 m	Show
Premier League Total Play: Under Rating: 8/10* Sunderland are doomed for relegation while Swansea are fighting to stay up in the top flight. Sunderland have mustered only 28 goals through 35 games this season and they've been held without a goal in six of their last seven at home. Swansea need a win but will be cautious not to fall behind. Let's go with the under.
05-12-17	A's v. Rangers UNDER 9.5		2-5	Win	100	10 h 5 m	Show
MLB 3-Pack Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The Texas Rangers opened the week with a 5-1 loss to the Padres, but they won the following three of the four-game home-and-home series. Tonight they hand the ball to Andrew Cashner (0-3, 2.63 ERA) who has pitched better than his record would suggest. The 30 year old right-hander has conceded two earned runs or fewer in four of his five starts this season, and he held the Mariners to one run through six innings his last time out. The A's hand the ball to Jesse Hahn (1-2, 3.03 ERA) who is 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA in two games against the Rangers this season, but Texas is playing much better ball now. Under is 12-2 in Rangers last 14 home games, 8-0 in Rangers last eight during game 1 of a series and 5-2 in Athletics last seven games following an off day.
05-12-17	Braves v. Marlins OVER 8.5		8-4	Win	100	9 h 5 m	Show
MLB 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Miami Marlins will host the Atlanta Braves for the opener of a three-game series Friday night. I think we'll see a high-scoring contest. Jose Urena (1-0, 1.69 ERA) takes the ball for the home team. He held the Mets to on hit through six scoreless innings in his first start of the season his last time out and has an impressive 1.08 WHIP through 21 1/3 innings of work. He's however 0-2 with a 15.75 ERA in five career meetings with the Braves and over is 23-5 in Atlanta's last 28 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. The Braves counter with Mike Foltynewicz (0-4, 4.55 ERA) who has been torched for a combined 11 runs (eight earned) on 13 hits with four homers through 10 innings in his last two starts. He was charged with a pair of runs on three hits in two innings at Miami on April 11. Over is 8-2 in Marlins last 10 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Over is 25-8-2 in the last 35 meetings. Over is 9-3-1 in the last 13 meetings in Miami.
05-11-17	Spurs v. Rockets OVER 213.5	Top	114-75	Loss	-107	21 h 58 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 NBA West GAME OF THE WEEK Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* Four of the first five games of this series have gone over the total following San Antonio's 110-107 OT win in Game 5. Down 3-2 in the series, the pressure is now on Houston and I think the Rockets will come out swinging big time. They live and die by the three, and they're shooting the ball extremely well home at Toyota Center. I think offense will rule this game and we'll see it fly over the total.
05-10-17	Wizards v. Celtics OVER 215		101-123	Win	100	21 h 57 m	Show
NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Three of the first four games in this Eastern Conference semifinals series have gone over the total, and I think we'll see plenty of points again tonight. The Wizards have really pushed the tempo and are finding holes in Boston's otherwise so solid D. Over is 5-0-1 in Wizards last six road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Over is 5-0-1 in Celtics last six home games.
05-09-17	Yankees v. Reds OVER 9		3-5	Loss	-102	10 h 22 m	Show
Tuesday Night BATTERS BONANZA Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The New York Yankees have won six in a row following Monday's 10-4 win against the Reds. Over is 9-1 in the Yankees last 10 overall and 13-3 in the Reds last 16 overall. The Bronx Bombers hand the ball to CC Sabathia (2-1, 5.45 ERA). The 36-year-old left-hander has posted a 10.43 ERA over his last three outings and served up six homers in his last four outings, but the Yankees have still won his last two trips to the mound. The Reds turn to Tim Adleman (1-1, 4.22 ERA) who has struggled with the long ball as well, giving up a total of five through 21 1/3 innings of work this season. Over is 4-1 in Adleman's last five starts overall. Over is 4-1 in Sabathia's last five starts overall.
05-08-17	Warriors v. Jazz UNDER 207		121-95	Loss	-115	15 h 8 m	Show
Warriors/Jazz HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors are looking to remain perfect in the NBA playoffs when they take on Utah Jazz at Vivint Smart Home Arena Monday night. They've dominated the Jazz through the first three games in the series and we might very well see another blowout win for Golden State tonight, but I think we're getting better value on the total. Note that the Under is 25-8-2 in the last 35 meetings overall and 11-4-1 in the last 16 meetings in Utah. We can also note that under is 10-2 in Jazz last 12 games following a double-digit loss at home and 20-5-1 in Warriors last 26 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
05-07-17	Brewers v. Pirates OVER 8		6-2	Push	0	5 h 36 m	Show
Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Pittsburgh Pirates won yesterday's matchup 2-1 but I think we'll see a higher score today. Tyler Glasnow (1-1, 6.97 ERA) takes the ball for the Bucs. He's coming off his best start of the season but was still charged with three runs on four hits and four walks through six innings of a 12-3 win at Cincinnati. He's posted a 7.23 ERA in six career games (five starts) at PNC Park. The Brewers hand the ball to Zach Davies (2-2, 6.07 ERA) who is 0-2 with a 13.06 ERA in three career starts against the Pirates. Over is 10-1 in Davies' last 11 starts overall and 4-0 in Glasnow's last four starts overall.
05-07-17	Blue Jays v. Rays OVER 8		2-1	Loss	-110	4 h 8 m	Show
Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* We'll see Alex Cobb (2-2, 3.86 ERA) vs. Joe Biagini (0-1, 3.38 ERA) on the mound. Cobb has posted a 3.86 ERA in six career starts versus Toronto while 26 year old Biagini allowed three runs on six hits in eight innings against Tampa Bay last year. Biagini will make his first start of the season after logging 18 2/3 innings out of the bullpen. I don't trust either pitcher and neither sides bullpen is particularly strong. We could see early runs, we could see late runs. Bottom line is, we will see plenty of runs scored.
05-07-17	Marlins v. Mets OVER 8.5		7-0	Loss	-110	2 h 13 m	Show
Play: Over Rating: 8/10* We've seen a couple of high-scoring games here at Citi Field (both Mets victories, 8-7 and 11-3) and I expect to see plenty of action over the plate again in the series finale Sunday afternoon. The Mets hand the ball to Matt Harvey (2-2, 5.14 ERA) who has been knocked around for a total of 12 runs on 13 hits and eight walks through 9 2/3 frames in his last two starts. Over is 18-5-4 in Marlins last 27 road games vs. a right-handed starter. The Marlins counter with Jose Urena (0-0, 2.35 ERA) who will make his first start of the season. He's been solid in his six relief appearances this season, but he's 1-2 with a 4.13 ERA in seven career meetings (three starts) with the Mets. Over is 11-3-2 in the Mets' 16 home games this season and they're swinging the bats really well at the moment. * Adam Wilk has replaced Harvey on the mound for the Mets. I still like this game to go over the total.
05-05-17	Rangers v. Mariners OVER 7.5		3-1	Loss	-110	12 h 26 m	Show
*Top Rated AL West GAME OF THE WEEK* Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* The Seattle Mariners host the Texas Rangers at Safeco Field for the opener of a three-game set Friday night. Over is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings and 6-2 in the last eight meetings in Seattle. I think we'll see another slugfest tonight. The Mariners are coming off an 11-3 win against the Halos. They'll hand the ball to Yovani Gallardo (1-3, 5.08 ERA) who has surrendered four runs in three of his five starts this season. Gallardo is 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in two career starts against the Rangers who counter with Yu Darvish (3-2, 3.03 ERA). He is 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in three starts at Safeco and the current Mariners have a combined batting average of .299 over 77 at bats against the right-hander. The Rangers have struggled at the plate lately but their bats came alive in a 10-4 win at Houston yesterday. I'm backing the over with a BIG BET here.
05-05-17	Red Sox v. Twins OVER 9		3-4	Loss	-113	9 h 35 m	Show
MLB NO-BRAINER Play: Over Rating: 8/10* I think we'll see plenty of runs when the Minnesota Twins host the Boston Red Sox Friday night. The Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodríguez (1-1, 2.70 ERA) has been lights out this season, but he was charged with six runs on 12 hits through 10 innings in two meetings with Minnesota last season. The Twins hand the ball to Phil Hughes (4-1, 5.06 ERA) who has conceded four earned runs in three of his five starts this season. Neither pitcher has logged a ton of innings this season and both bullpens are taxed. Add a 10-13 mph wind towards center field and the fact that over is 6-1-1 in the last eight head-to-head meetings and I think we have a solid case for an over here.
05-04-17	Angels v. Mariners OVER 8.5		3-11	Win	100	11 h 13 m	Show
MLB Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Seattle Mariners won last night's contest 8-7, and I think we'll see plenty of runs scored in Thursday's matchup as well. The Halos' Alex Meyer (0-0, 4.91 ERA) gave up four runs and five hits in four innings against Seattle last season. Seattle's Ariel Miranda (2-2, 3.81 ERA) is 2-0 with a 3.71 ERA in three career starts against LAA and over is 5-2 in Miranda's last seven home starts.
05-04-17	Marlins v. Rays OVER 8		1-5	Loss	-115	8 h 15 m	Show
MLB Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Over is 5-1-1 in the Miami Marlins' last seven road games and 7-1 in their last eight interleague road games vs. a right-handed starter. Over is 6-0 in the Tampa Bay Rays' last six home games. Miami's Dan Straily (1-2, 4.15 ERA) will be facing the Rays for the first time, but he gave up three runs over 5 1/3 innings in a 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh his last time out. The Rays' right-hander Matt Andriese (1-1, 3.86 ERA) was charged with four runs (three earned) on five hits over seven innings at Toronto on Saturday. Over is 4-1 in Andriese's last five home starts.
05-04-17	Pirates v. Reds OVER 8		2-4	Loss	-102	3 h 55 m	Show
Super Early Pirates/Reds Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Over is 5-2 in the Pittsburgh Pirates last seven overall and 10-1 in the Cincinnati Reds last 11 overall. The totals number for this game is low because of Ivan Nova's (3-2, 1.50 ERA) hot start to the season. He does however own a 3.92 career ERA against the Reds. Cincinnati's Tim Adleman (0-1, 4.70 ERA) was tagged with six runs (five earned) on eight hits through 5 1/3 innings of a 7-5 loss at St. Louis his last time out.
05-03-17	Mets v. Braves OVER 8		16-5	Win	102	11 h 33 m	Show
MLB Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The first two games of this series have seen a total of 28 runs scored, and I don't see either team slowing down tonight. The Mets' Jacob deGrom (1-1 , 2.84 ERA) is coming off three straight double-figure strikeouts performances, but he's conceded six runs on 14 hits and seven walks through 12 2/3 innings in his last two starts. Over is 4-1 in deGrom's last five road starts. The Braves hand the ball to veteran Bartolo Colon (1-2, 5.59 ERA) who has been tagged with 10 runs on 21 hits in 12 innings through his last two starts. Over is 5-0 in the last five head-to-head meetings.
05-03-17	Pirates v. Reds OVER 8.5		2-7	Win	105	10 h 12 m	Show
MLB Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Cincinnati Reds 12-3 on Tuesday. Over is now 9-1 in Reds last 10 overall and 10-1 in their last 11 when their opponent scores five runs or more in their previous game. Cincinnati's Rookie Davis (0-1, 11.17 ERA) has been knocked around all season long and he was charged with eight runs on 11 hits in 2 2/3 innings of a 9-4 setback at Milwaukee his last time out. Pittsburgh's Jameson Taillon (2-0, 2.08 ERA) is 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA with six runs allowed in 17 innings through three career starts against the Reds. He's not logging a ton of innings though and the Pirates' relievers have been pretty active in recent games.
05-03-17	Blue Jays v. Yankees OVER 8.5		6-8	Win	100	10 h 5 m	Show
MLB Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The New York Yankees won last night's contest 11-5 and I think we'll see another high-scoring encounter on Wednesday. Over is now 5-0 in Blue Jays last five road games and 6-0 in Yankees last six home games. The Blue Jays' Marcus Stroman (2-2, 2.97 ERA) has posted a 4.12 ERA in four career starts at Yankee Stadium while the Yankee's left-hander CC Sabathia (2-1, 4.34 ERA) was 0-3 with a 3.12 ERA in four starts against the Blue Jays last year. Over is 4-1 in Sabathia's last five home starts vs. Blue Jays and he's been torched for 11 runs on 16 hits and four walks with four homers through 10 2/3 innings in his last two starts combined.
05-02-17	Ostersunds v. IF Elfsborg OVER 2.5		4-4	Win	100	95 h 13 m	Show
Soccer Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Elfsborg have a 10-7 goal differential after five games this season while Ostersund have a 6-5 goal differential after as many games. Both teams like to play offensive football and we should see at least three goals in this contest.
05-01-17	Brewers v. Cardinals OVER 8		7-5	Win	100	7 h 0 m	Show
Monday Night MLB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* *This pick will be graded on over 8 runs, but I will personally bet over 7.5 runs. The St. Louis Cardinals blew a 4-0 lead to the Cincinnati Reds to end up a 5-4 loser on Sunday while the Milwaukee Brewers closed out the weekend with a 4-3 win against the Braves. Tonight Milwaukee hands the ball to Zach Davies (2-2, 6.57 ERA) who tossed five scoreless innings of a 9-1 win against Cincinnati his last time. He won his last start prior to that as well despite giving up four runs through 5 1/3 innings of a 7-5 win against the Cards on April 20. The Cardinals counter with Michael Wacha (2-1, 2.55 ERA). Wacha is 4-0 despite a rather swollen 4.09 ERA in seven career games (six starts) - against the Brewers. He tossed six innings of two-run ball against Toronto on April 25 his last time out, but over is 12-3-1 in Wacha's last 16 starts with five days of rest and 4-0 in his last four home starts vs. Brewers.
05-01-17	Pirates v. Reds OVER 8.5		3-4	Loss	-105	5 h 26 m	Show
Pirates/Reds Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Over is 8-0 in the Cincinnati Reds' last eight overall and 14-6 in their last 20 home at Great American Ball Park. The Pittsburgh Pirates' starting pitcher for the evening, Gerrit Cole (1-3, 3.60 ERA), is 0-6 with a 5.44 ERA in eight starts against the division rivals. The Reds will send Amir Garrett (2-2, 5.09 ERA) to the mound. The 24 year old southpaw was knocked around for 10 runs (nine earned) on eight hits and four walks in 3 1/3 innings of an 11-7 loss at Milwaukee his last time out. Over is 4-1 in the Pirates' last five games vs. a left-handed starter. Over is 4-0-1 in the last five meetings in Cincinnati. Over is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings overall.
05-01-17	Raptors v. Cavs UNDER 209		105-116	Loss	-110	6 h 26 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The Cleveland Cavaliers swept the Indiana Pacers in the conference quarterfinals, but they did not impress while doing so. They know they'll have to step it up defensively here against the solid Raptors. They'll face a Toronto side that knocked out Milwaukee in six games in the last round, and the Raptors played some great defense in the last three games (all wins, allowing an average of 86 ppg). Under is 13-3 in Raptors last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 6-1 in Cavaliers last seven games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
04-30-17	Padres v. Giants OVER 8		5-2	Loss	-110	4 h 43 m	Show
Padres/Giants Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Neither the San Francisco Giants or the San Diego Padres are particularly high-scoring teams, but the Friars won Saturday's meeting 12-4 and I expect more fireworks Sunday afternoon. The Giants hand the ball to left-hander Ty Blach (0-1, 4.22 ERA). He will make his second start in place of injured Madison Bumgarner, and here he'll have to take on a Padres side that has scored a decent amount of runs in recent games. Over is 6-2-1 in Padres last nine overall and 6-2 in their last eight road games. Left-hander Clayton Richard (2-3, 4.45 ERA) will take the ball for San Diego. He is 6-6 with a 4.01 ERA in 18 career appearances (15 starts) against the Giants and he was charged with five runs (four earned) on five hits and three walks with a pair of homers in six innings of a 5-3 home loss to San Francisco on April 9. Richards has allowed 10 runs in 9 2/3 innings in his last two road starts.
04-30-17	Reds v. Cardinals OVER 8.5		5-4	Win	100	13 h 33 m	Show
MLB BATTERS BONANZA Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The St. Louis Cardinals have won six of their last seven games and scored five runs or more in all but one game during that stretch. They're likely to stay hot at the plate here as the struggling veteran Bronson Arroyo (2-2, 6.86 ERA) takes the mound for the Reds. Arroyo was tagged with six runs on six hits and three walks with a pair of homers through four innings of a 10-4 loss at St. Louis on April 8. Mike Leake (3-1, 1.32 ERA) takes the ball for the Cards. Leake has been excellent this season but he's 0-3 with a 5.64 ERA in five career starts against the Reds, respite limiting them to one run throigh eight innings of a 2-0 loss on April 7. It's also worth noting that the current Reds have a combined batting average of .301 against the right-hander. The reeling Reds have dropped eight of their last nine games despite scoring a healthy amount of runs. I think we'll see more of the same today.
04-30-17	Chelsea v. Everton OVER 2.5		3-0	Win	100	33 h 41 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 Premier League GAME OF THE MONTH Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* Two of the highest scoring teams in the league and both with plenty to play for. Chelsea are looking to fight off Tottenham at the top of the table while Everton are trying to catch the Manchester clubs to qualify for European football next season. Chelsea won the last meeting 5-0 back in November, the Blues are unlikely to shut out their opponent in this contest. Note that Romelu Lukaku has tallied 14 goals through his last nine games home at Goodison Park and Everton's 41 goals at home in the league is more than they have managed in any of their last 26 top-flight campaigns. Chelsea meanwhile have failed to keep a clean cheat in their last 11 league games.
04-29-17	Braves v. Brewers OVER 9	Top	11-3	Win	110	18 h 14 m	Show
Top Rated 10* MLB BIG HITTER Play: Over Rating: 10/10* *Note: Buy half a run to over 8.5 runs if you have the option. This pick will be graded as over 9 runs but I will bet over 8.5 runs myself. The Atlanta Braves have won three on the bounce following Friday's 10-8 win against Milwaukee. Odds are we'll see another high-scoring contest tonight. The Brew Crew rank 3rd in MLB for runs scored on the season and 2nd in slugging percentage. Atlanta's numbers are just below league average but the Braves have scored 25 runs through their last three games. The Brewers hand the ball to Jimmy Nelson (1-1, 4.56 ERA) who was tagged with four runs (three earned) on five this and six walks in 5 1/3 innings of a 6-4 loss to St. Louis his last time out. The current Braves have a combined batting average of .311 over 74 bats against the right-hander and over is 8-3 in Braves last 11 road games vs. a right-handed starter. The Braves hand the ball to 30 year old southpaw Jaime Garcia (0-1, 4.24 ERA) who has posted a 3.80 ERA in eight starts here at Miller Park. Over is 6-2 in Brewers last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter.
04-27-17	Mariners v. Tigers OVER 8		2-1	Loss	-115	9 h 35 m	Show
MLB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Neither Seattle's Hisashi Iwakuma (0-2, 5.31 ERA) or Detroit's Justin Verlander (1-2, 6.04 ERA) have impressed this season. Both teams have powerful bats that can explode at just about any time. Over is 10-1-1 in Tigers last 12 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Over is 5-1 in Mariners last 6 road games vs. a right-handed starter.
04-26-17	Hawks v. Wizards OVER 211.5	Top	99-103	Loss	-110	18 h 55 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 NBA East GAME OF THE WEEK Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* This series is tied with both teams winning twice on their home floor. The Washington Wizards will most likely look to push the tempo at home tonight to keep that trend going. Over is 8-2 in Wizards last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record and 2-1-1 in this series. Atlanta is finding ways to hurt the Wizards on the inside while Washington successfully relies on guards John Wall and Bradley Beal for offense. They'll be happy to shoot against a familiar rim home at Verizon Center, and I think we'll see this game fly over the total.
04-26-17	Royals v. White Sox OVER 8		2-5	Loss	-125	3 h 7 m	Show
Royals/White Sox BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Over is 4-0 in the last four head-to-head meetings after the Chicago White Sox winning the first two games of this series 12-1 and 10-5. THe Royals' Nathan Karns (0-1, 6.35 ERA) has had a tough start to the season and gave up six runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings against Texas his last time out. Chicago's left-hander Jose Quintana (0-4, 6.17 ERA) has also been knocked around this season. He held Cleveland to three runs and five hits in six innings his last turn but over is 5-1 in Quintana's last six starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance.
04-26-17	Reds v. Brewers OVER 9.5		4-9	Win	105	4 h 53 m	Show
Super Early MLB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* We won with the over in this series last night, and I think Wednesday's early matchup between the Cincinnati Reds and the Milwaukee Brewers will be another high-scoring encounter. Cincinatti's rookie right-hander Rookie Davis (0-0, 6.43 ERA) takes the ball for the visitors. He'll make his third career start after sitting out a couple of turns after taking a line drive off the forearm at Pittsburgh on April 11. Wily Peralta (3-1, 4.71 ERA) takes the ball for the Brew Crew. He was knocked around for six runs and nine hits in four innings against St. Louis his last time out. Over is 5-0 in Reds last five overall. Over is 8-1 in Brewers last nine overall. Over is 10-2-1 in the last 13 meetings at Miller Park.
04-25-17	Reds v. Brewers OVER 9		1-9	Win	100	13 h 47 m	Show
MLB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Milwaukee Brewers won Monday's matchup 11-7, and I think we'll see another slug-fest Tuesday night. Over is 6-1-1 in Reds last eight games following a loss and 7-1 in Brewers last eight overall. Over is 9-2-1 in the last 12 meetings at Miller Park. Cincinnati right-hander Scott Feldman (1-1, 2.38 ERA) is 2-2 with a 3.46 ERA in previous meetings with Milwaukee. He's allowed the current Brew Crewr a combined batting average of .297 over 37 at bats with 11 walks. The Brewers hand the ball to Zach Davies (1-2, 8.24 ERA). His ERA speaks for itself and he has failed to make it through the fifth inning in each of his four starts this season, which could be a major problem here as Milwaukee's bullpen has been forced to throw a lot of pitches in recent games. Davies was 1-1 with a 3.97 ERA in four starts versus Cincinnati last year and over is 4-1 in his last five starts vs. Reds.

Monday Night NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors will be looking to finish off the Portland Trail Blazers and advance to the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs Monday night. They won the last meeting 119-113, and I think we'll see another high-scoring affair. Over is 7-1 in the last eight meetings at Moda Center, 6-2 in Warriors last eight games following a straight up win and 19-7 in Trail Blazers last 26 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
04-23-17	Cavs v. Pacers OVER 212.5		106-102	Loss	-110	12 h 51 m	Show
Super Early Cavs/Pacers Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Each of the first three meetings in this playoffs series have gone over the total as we've seen an average of 226 points per game. I don't see why this game shouldn't go over as well. Cleveland is not playing good defense and Indiana will surely bring its A-game as its facing elimination. Over is 6-1 in Cavaliers last seven overall. Over is 5-1 in Pacers last six overall. Take the over.

Premier League Total Play: Under Rating: 8/10* Manchester United lost their star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to injury earlier this week. Burnley are just 15th in the Premier League, but they have the 6th best home record with just 14 goals allowed through 16 games. Man U have a 25-13 goal differential through their 14 games on the road. I think goals will come at a premium for both sides in this contest.
04-22-17	Warriors v. Blazers OVER 217		119-113	Win	100	20 h 3 m	Show
Late Night NBA Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Portland Trail Blazers are in a tough spot after back-to-back losses at Golden State. They were held to just 81 points in the most recent defeat but I think they'll bring it offensively when the series move to Portland for a couple of games at Moda Center. Over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings in Portland and the Blazers average 109.9 ppg at home which can be compared to their 107.6 ppg season average overall.
04-21-17	Mariners v. A's OVER 7.5	Top	1-3	Loss	-125	18 h 30 m	Show
*AL GAME OF THE WEEK* Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* The Oakland Athletics have scored a total of 22 runs during a three-game winning streak, last night's 9-6 win against Settle included. Tonight they'll face Hisashi Iwakuma (0-1, 5.40 ERA) who's has a rough start to the season, and he's posted a 4.14 ERA in 16 career games (15 starts) against Oakland who will turn to Sean Manaea (0-1, 5.51 ERA)- The left-hander posted a 4.76 ERA in three starts against the Mariners as a rookie last year and note that the Mariners have scored five runs or more in five of their last six games. Add a pair of below average bullpens (Oakland 3.98 ERA and Seattle 5.98 ERA) and a fairly strong wind towards center-field/right-field and I think we have a solid case for an over here.
04-17-17	Pacers v. Cavs OVER 210		111-117	Win	100	21 h 3 m	Show
Pacers/Cavs Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* We won with the Indiana Pacers against the spread in the opener of this Eastern Conference playoffs series, but I have my eyes on the total here in Game 2. We saw a total of 217 points scored in Game 1, and all of the last four meetings have gone over the posted total for tonight's contest. We can also note that the Over is 8-0 in the Pacers last eight road games and 6-1 in the Cavaliers last seven home games. Let's go with the over in what could be another close contest with a lot of fouls and free throws near the end of the game.
04-16-17	Orioles v. Blue Jays UNDER 8.5	Top	11-4	Loss	-105	11 h 51 m	Show
*Super Early Top Rated 10 MLB Total Play: Under Rating:** 10/10* The Toronto Blue Jays edged the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 on Saturday, and the under is now 11-1 in the last 12 meetings. I think we'll see another low-scoring encounter Sunday afternoon. Toronto's left-hander J.A. Happ (0-2, 5.40 ERA) has the current Orioles roster limited to a .209 batting average over 172 at bats, and under is 41-19-3 in Orioles last 63 road games vs. a left-handed starter. Baltimore's right-hander Dylan Bundy (1-1, 2.70 ERA) is coming off a pair of solid starts and has allowed only one RBI and four hits through 34 at bats against the current Blue Jays. Under is 5-0 in Blue Jays last five home games vs. a right-handed starter. The Orioles won 3-1 when these two pitchers squared off at Baltimore on April 5. We can also note that the under is 7-0 in umpire Brian Knight's last seven games behind home plate vs. Baltimore.
04-15-17	Predators v. Blackhawks UNDER 5		5-0	Push	0	19 h 3 m	Show
NHL Total NO-BRAINER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The series opener was as low-scoring as it gets (1-0 Nashville victory), and I think goals will come at a premium once again here in Game 2. The Chicago Blackhawks can not afford to drop back-to-back games at home and the Nashville Predators will be happy to make this as scruffy as possible and perhaps steal the game in the end.
04-14-17	Rockies v. Giants OVER 7	Top	2-8	Win	100	22 h 2 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 MLB GAME OF THE WEEK Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* I think we'll see Friday night's contest between the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants go over the total of seven runs. Johnny Cueto (2-0, 4.50 ERA) is a solid pitcher, but the current Rockies roster has a combined .278 batting average against him with Carlos Gonzalez going 10-for-29 with a pair of doubles and a home run. The Rockies' left-hander Tyler Anderson (1-1, 8.44 ERA) has allowed five runs in each of his two starts this season, and he might not get much help from the relievers as Colorado's bullpen has been asked to log a lot of innings in recent games. We can also note that we'll have a healthy wind blowing towards right field which should carry the ball nicely.
04-13-17	Manchester United v. Anderlecht UNDER 2.5		1-1	Win	100	5 h 36 m	Show
Europa League Total Play: Under Rating: 8/10* Man United are most likely happy to see a draw here, and I don't think Anderlecht will risk opening themselves up too much here and give away an away goal.
04-09-17	Rockets v. Kings UNDER 224		135-128	Loss	-110	19 h 25 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The last meeting between the Houston Rockets and the Sacramento Kings saw just a total of 188 points scored. We're almost guaranteed to see more points tonight, but I still think this game will stay under the total. Note that James Harden is averaging only 16 ppg against the Kings, lower than any other opponent this season. The Rockets are coming off a 114-109 loss to Detroit, their fourth loss in the last six games. I like Houston to really bring it on the defensive end of the court here, something the team needs to improve ahead of the playoffs. Sacramento has fallen shy of 100 points in six of its last seven games and Houston has averaged well below its season average of 115.2 ppg in recent weeks. Look for a "low-scoring" contest.

*Top Rated 10 Yankees/Orioles Total Play: Under Rating:** 10/10* The Baltimore Orioles edged the New York Yankees 6-5 in the opener of a three-game set between the two AL East rivals on Friday. I don't think runs will come quite as easy today with a pair of very competent pitchers on the mound. The Bronx Bombers turn to their ace Masahiro Tanaka. He was knocked around for seven runs through just 2 2/3 innings at Tampa Bay in his season debut, but the right-hander has a 2.39 ERA in five career starts against Baltimore. The Orioles turn to Kevin Gausman who held the Yankees to just one run in 20 innings at home last year and he's posted a 1.92 ERA in 17 career games (11 starts) against them. He looked decent enough in his first start of the season when he held the Blue Jays to a pair of runs through 5 1/3 innings of work. Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings at Camden Yards. Under is 10-1 in Gausman's last 11 starts vs. Yankees.
04-07-17	Mariners v. Angels OVER 8.5	Top	1-5	Loss	-105	8 h 3 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 Late Night MLB Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* I think we'll see a high-scoring encounter when the LA Angels host the Seattle Mariners Friday night. The Halos' Jesse Chavez posted a 4.43 ERA in 2016 and he's 0-6 with a 5.84 ERA in 17 career appearances (seven starts) against Seattle. The Mariners hand the ball to Yovani Gallardo who posted a 5.42 ERA last year and owns a 7.00 career ERA against the Angels. The Angels have scored a total of 15 runs this season in splitting a four-game set against Oakland and we should see plenty of action over the plate for both teams in this contest.
04-07-17	Pistons v. Rockets UNDER 224.5		114-109	Win	100	11 h 8 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* Under is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings at Toyota Center and this total looks a bit high considering how these two teams have played of late. Detroit has struggled to score lately leading to 10 losses through its last 12 games. Under is 8-3 in the Pistons last 11 overall and 15-3 in their last 18 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game, which they did in Wednesday's 105-102 loss to Toronto. The Rockets are a high-scoring team, but four of their last five games have gone under the total.
04-05-17	Blue Jays v. Orioles UNDER 9	Top	1-3	Win	100	20 h 42 m	Show
Top Rated 10* MLB MONEYMAKER Play: Under Rating: 10/10* The Baltimore Orioles clinched the season opener 3-2 in extra innings on Monday, but I like the Toronto Blue Jays to even out the series with a win tonight. Happ was a solid 2-0 with a 3.54 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP in three starts against Baltimore last season, and we can note that he was just as reliable on the road as he was at home in 2016, posting a 9-2 record in 17 starts away from home. Happ was excellent in spring training, posting a 1.76 ERA through 15 1/3 innings of work. The same can not be said about Baltimore's Dylan Bundy who recorded a 7.41 ERA through 17 innings in spring training. The current Toronto roster does only have a combined nine at bats against the right-hander though, and I think we'll see a low-scoring contest.
04-04-17	Wolves v. Warriors UNDER 220.5		107-121	Loss	-110	22 h 11 m	Show
NBA Wolves/Warriors Late Night CA$H COW Play: Under Rating: 8/10* We won with the over in Minnesota's 110-109 win against Portland last night, but I think we'll see their matchup with the Golden State Warriors here the following day go under the total. The Warriors have played plenty of unders lately, but we're still seeing huge numbers on the total due to their offensive numbers. Under is 8-1 in Warriors last nine home games and 22-7 in their last 29 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points, which they are following a 139-115 drubbing of the Wizards. Under is 5-2 in Timberwolves last seven games playing on no rest and 8-2 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. To top it off we can note that the under is 20-6 in the last 26 head-to-head meetings.

NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Minnesota Timberwolves will host the red hot Portland Trail Blazers in the lone NBA game Monday night. Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings at Target Center, and I think we'll see another high-scoring encounter tonight. The Wolves have been eliminated from playoff contention, but they have a young team that will be looking to finish the season strong. They've scored plenty of points lately, averaging 117 ppg through their last three games and the over is 8-2 in Timberwolves last 10 overall. Portland is coming off a 130-117 win against Phoenix. Over is 17-7 in the Blazers last 24 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and each of their last three games have seen at least 224 points.

Here they'll take on Merseyside rivals Everton who have scored a total of nine goals through their last three games. I expect to see plenty of goals in this rivalry game as both teams go for the three points.
03-31-17	Magic v. Celtics UNDER 217.5		116-117	Loss	-110	21 h 8 m	Show
NBA BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The Boston Celtics will host the Orlando Magic Friday night, and the total is set way too high IMO. Four of the last five head-to-head meetings may have gone over the total, but note that only of those games had a total as high as this, and guess what; it went under. This is also a great situational spot for an under. The Celtics will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 103-100 home loss as a 7.5-point favorite against Milwaukee, and the under is 13-3-1 in Celtics last 17 games following a ATS loss and 9-3-2 in their last 14 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. The Magic meanwhile fell 114-106 in overtime against Oklahoma City (a game that went under the total despite OT) and the under is 4-0 in Magic last four games following a straight up loss. We also have favorable day of the week trends with under is 5-1 in Celtics last six Friday games and 13-3 in Magic last 16 Friday games.
03-30-17	Nets v. Pistons UNDER 213		89-90	Win	100	19 h 5 m	Show
Nets/Pistons HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The Detroit Pistons will host the Brooklyn Nets Thursday night and I predict a relatively low-scoring affair, just like when the Nets won 98-96 at Brooklyn earlier this month. The Pistons have dropped five in a row and eight of their last nine games. They've topped 100 points in only contest during that span, a 112-95 victory over Phoenix. Under is 7-1 in the Pistons last eight overall and here they'll host a Nets team that has seen four of its last five games go under the total. The Pistons are desperate for a win, but they can't rely on their offense to get the job done so I expect them to turn up the heat on the defensive end of the court instead. Let's go with the under.
03-28-17	Warriors v. Rockets UNDER 234		113-106	Win	100	20 h 17 m	Show
NBA Warriors/Rockets MONEYMAKER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors have won seven straight games, first and foremost thanks to an improved effort on the defensive end of the court. They've allowed 100 points or more just once during that span and they've seen each of their last 10 games go under the total. We always see high totals when the Houston Rockets are involved, but I think the bookmakers have set this number too high. Note that the under is 6-2 in the Rockets last eight home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600 and 4-1 in the last five meetings with Golden State. Let's go with the under.
03-26-17	Nets v. Hawks UNDER 215.5		107-92	Win	100	6 h 24 m	Show
Super Early NBA Total Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The under is 6-0 in the last six head-to-head meetings between the Brooklyn Nets and the Atlanta Hawks. I think we'll see another relatively low-scoring affair when they do battle at Philips Arena Sunday afternoon. The Hawks have dropped six in a row, scoring 100 points or fewer in each of those games with all but one going under the total. Under is 9-2 in Hawks last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and 6-0 in the 15-57 Brooklyn Nets' last six vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
03-24-17	UCLA v. Kentucky UNDER 165.5		75-86	Win	100	16 h 38 m	Show
Friday Night Sweet 16 Total BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* We're seeing a rather large number for the total here in this NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 clash between the UCLA Bruins and the Kentucky Wildcats Friday night. Too large IMO, and I think we'll see this game go under the total. Both teams boast impressive offenses, but note that the under is 9-3 in UCLA's last 12 overall and 8-1 in Kentucky's last nine overall. Kentucky held Wichita State to just 38.7 percent shooting from the field in 65-62 triumph in the last round while UCLA played strong enough D in their 79-67 win over Cincinnati. The last meeting was a high-scoring 97-92 UCLA victory back in December, but I think we'll see a more cagey affair here in the tournament.
03-24-17	Albania v. Italy OVER 2.5		0-2	Loss	-100	12 h 50 m	Show
Friday World Cup Qualifier Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Italy have plenty of offensive firepower and they have an 11-4 goal differential in four games so far here in the qualifying group. Albania have lost their last two games 2-0 against Spain and 3-0 against Israel, both at home. I expect to see goals here, first and foremost from the Italians.
03-22-17	Pacers v. Celtics UNDER 207		100-109	Loss	-110	8 h 47 m	Show
Celtics/Pacers NO-BRAINER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The under is 18-7-1 in the last 26 meetings overall and 8-3 in the last 11 meetings at TD Garden. The Boston Celtics have played solid D lately and held off the high-scoring Wizards in a 110-102 victory on Monday. Under is 12-2-2 in Celtics last 16 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 20-6-1 in their last 27 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Pacers are poor on the road and average only 101.4 ppg away from home this season.Under is 13-3 in Pacers last 16 road games and 10-2 in their last 12 games following a straight up win. which they are after a 107-100 win against Utah on Monday.
03-21-17	Spurs v. Wolves OVER 205.5	Top	100-93	Loss	-110	18 h 55 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA West GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 97-90 in overtime home in Texas earlier this month. I think points will come far more easy in tonight's meeting. The Spurs are coming off a 118-102 win against Sacramento, their fourth straight game to go over the total. The over is 7-3 in the last 10 clashes with the Timberwolves who have allowed an average of 121 per game during a three-game losing streak. Over is 13-3 in the Timberwolves last 16 games playing on one days rest and 9-3 in their last 12 games home at Target Center. Expect a high-scoring encounter at go with the over.
03-20-17	Warriors v. Thunder UNDER 221		111-95	Win	100	21 h 5 m	Show
Warriors/Thunder BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors will open the new week with a visit at the Oklahoma City Thunder, and I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring encounter. The Warriors have allowed an average of just 96 points through three consecutive victories, the most recent a 117-92 triumph against Milwaukee. Under is 19-8 in Warriors last 27 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 10-3 in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Thunder have won five on the spin, and they played solid D in a 110-94 win against Sacramento on Saturday. Under is 9-2 in Thunder last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 11-3 in their last 14 Monday night games. Also note the revenge factor as the Warriors rolled to a 130-114 win here at Chesapeake Energy Arena on November 2 in Kevin Durant's first game back in the city as a Warrior. He's sidelined by a knee injury tonight, and I think we'll see a dialed in Thunder defense slow down the highest scoring team in the NBA enough to keep this game under the total.
03-19-17	Michigan v. Louisville OVER 141	Top	73-69	Win	100	12 h 49 m	Show
Top Rated 10* BEST BET Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Michigan Wolverines are coming off a 92-91 win against Oklahoma State and the over is 12-4-1 in the Wolverines last 17 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. The Louisville Cardinals defeated Jacksonville St. 78-63 in the last round, the fourth of their last five games to push over the total. Over is 9-3 in the Cardinals last 12 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite and 5-1 in Wolverines last six NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. I think points will come easy and fast for both teams in this contest.
03-19-17	Manchester United v. Middlesbrough UNDER 2.5		3-1	Loss	-145	18 h 21 m	Show
Premier League Sunday Total Play: Under Rating: 8/10* Manchester United's strike force is severely limited due to injuries and suspensions. Middlesbrough are the lowest scoring side in the Premier League with just 19 goals in 27 games, but they've also only conceded 30. These two teams have the best under/over ratio with a total of 2.5 goals in the Premier League, United with 16 unders and 10 overs and Middlesbrough with 18 unders and just nine overs.
03-18-17	Spurs v. Grizzlies UNDER 198	Top	96-104	Loss	-110	22 h 51 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 Saturday Night NBA BEST BET Total Play: Under Rating:** 10/10* Matchups between the Memphis Grizzlies and the San Antonio Spurs are usually tough defensive battles, and that was certainly the case when the Grizzlies defeated the visiting Spurs 89-74 on Feb. 6. Under is 5-1 in the last six head-to-head meetings, and I think we'll see another one go under the total despite the low number posted for this game. The Spurs might be coming off a 110-106 loss against Portland on Wednesday, but they had allowed just 85 and 99 points in wins against Golden State and Atlanta prior to that. Under is 5-1 in the Spurs last six after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 12-4 in thei last 16 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. The under is 22-11-1 in the Grizzlies home games this season, and I have no doubt they'll bring their best D for this contest.
03-18-17	Wisconsin v. Villanova OVER 129		65-62	Loss	-104	7 h 38 m	Show
Super Early CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* I think the total is set way too low in this East Region clash between the Wisconsin Badgers and the Villanova Wildcats. Wisconsin defeated Virginia Tech 84-74 in the first round while Villanova eliminated Mount St. Mary with a 76-56 victory. Well worth noting that Villanova had a slim 30-29 lead at halftime, and I expect them to play better offense from the get-go today. Over is 5-1 in the Wildcats last six NCAA Tournament games and 9-2 in their last 11 vs. teams from the Big Ten.
03-17-17	Oklahoma State v. Michigan OVER 153.5	Top	91-92	Win	100	6 h 19 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 Super Early CBB Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* The Michigan Wolverines held Wisconsin to just 39.3 percent shooting in their 71-56 victory in the Big Ten tournament championship game, but today they'll face an Oklahoma State Cowboys side that averages 85.0 ppg. The Cowboys have lost three straight games despite scoring 83, 85 and 83 points (all going over the total), and I think they can exploit the Wolverines D here. Michigan has averaged close to 80 ppg through its last five (all wins), and I think we'll see offense rule this contest.
03-16-17	Virginia Tech v. Wisconsin UNDER 137		74-84	Loss	-110	13 h 22 m	Show
Late Night CBB BONUS TOTAL Play: Under Rating: 5/10* The Wisconsin Badgers took an embarrassing 71-56 beating by Michigan in the Big Ten tournament title game on Sunday, and I think they'll make the Virginia Tech Hokies pay for that Thursday night. Wisconsin has several key players with Final Four experience while Virginia Tech is competing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. The Badgers boast among the best defenses in college basketball (allowing just 61.4 ppg) and are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. I also expect this game to go under the total.
03-15-17	Wolves v. Celtics UNDER 211	Top	104-117	Loss	-110	21 h 52 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Wednesday Night NBA BEST BET Play: Under Rating: 10/10* The Minnesota Timberwolves have played much improved defense lately and they had played six straight unders prior to a 119-104 win against Washington which flew over the total. On Wednesday they'll visit the Boston Celtics who have an 0-6-1 over/under record here in March, and the Celtics are coming off a solid defensive performance in Sunday's 100-80 victory against the Bulls. Under is 13-3-3 in Celtics last 19 overall and the first head-to-head meeting between the C's and the Wolves was a very low-scoring affair (99-93 Celtics win at Minnesota back in November).
03-14-17	76ers v. Warriors UNDER 221.5	Top	104-106	Win	100	23 h 14 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Non-Conference GAME OF THE MONTH Play: Under Rating: 10/10* Four of the last five (and six of the last seven) meetings between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Golden State Warriors have gone under the total, and I predict another relatively low-scoring affair Tuesday night. The Warriors have averaged just 91 points per game during a three-game slide, and eight of their last nine games have gone under the total. Their offense has lost all rhythm since All-Star forward Kevin Durant went down with a knee injury, and here they'll take on a 76ers side which has played four straight unders when taking on a team with a winning record. It's also worth noting that the under is 18-8 in non-conference games this season.
03-14-17	Bristol Rovers v. Bury OVER 2.5		0-3	Win	100	2 h 20 m	Show
Soccer Total Rating: 8/10*
03-11-17	Marshall v. Middle Tennessee OVER 163	Top	72-83	Loss	-110	21 h 1 m	Show
Top Rated 10* C-USA Championship Game BEST BET Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Marshall Thundering Herd shot 54 percent from 3-point range in yesterday's 93-77 win against Louisiana Tech, and I like them to keep up with the Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders in the scoring protocol Saturday night. Note that the over is 11-3 in the Thundering Herd last 14 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 19-7 in their last 26 Saturday games. Middle Tennessee St. cruised past Texas-El Paso in a 82-56 triumph on Friday, and the over is 10-1 in the Blue Raiders' last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Middle Tennessee St. won the last head-to-head meeting 97-86 on Feb. 18. Look for another high-scoring encounter tonight.
03-08-17	Bulls v. Magic UNDER 203.5		91-98	Win	100	7 h 6 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Under Rating: 5/10* A lot of trends suggest that this game will go under the total. The most dominant ones are: Under is 13-3 in Bulls last 16 games playing on 1 days rest. Under is 11-4-1 in Bulls last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Under is 8-3 in Bulls last 11 vs. Eastern Conference. Under is 12-2 in Magic last 14 home games. Under is 7-2 in Magic last 9 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings. Let's go with the trends and put a small wager on the under.
03-08-17	Miami-FL v. Syracuse OVER 134		62-57	Loss	-110	7 h 36 m	Show
Super Early Miami-FL/Syracuse Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* I think we'll see a high-scoring contest here between the Miami-FL Hurricanes and the Syracuse Orange. Over is 6-1 in the Orange last seven neutral site games as an underdog and 5-2-1 in Hurricanes last eight neutral site games as a favorite. We can also note that the over is 12-3-1 in Orange last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. This is the second round of the ACC Tournament, so there's no doubt both teams will be fired up. Expect plenty of foul shots to push the total over the posted number.

CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 10-1 in the Minnesota Golden Gophers last 11 overall and 5-2 in the last seven meetings with Wisconsin. The over is 5-1 in the Badgers last six vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
03-04-17	Wolves v. Spurs OVER 204.5	Top	90-97	Loss	-105	11 h 59 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 Saturday Night NBA Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* The Minnesota Timberwolves will visit the San Antonio Spurs Saturday night, and I think the posted total looks a little light. The Spurs are coming off a 101-98 OT win at New Orleans last night, so we might see the home team lacking energy on defense ni this game, and we can also note that the over is 8-3 in the Spurs last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. The Timberwolves have played improved defense lately while winning four of their last five games, but the over is 5-2 in the Wolves last seven road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Over is 7-2 in the last nine meetings in the series, and this should be another high-scoring encounter.

Saturday Afternoon CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 10-2 in the Alabama Crimson Tide's last 12 games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5 points and here they'll visit the Tennessee Volunteers who are scoring 78.9 pgg on average home at Thompson-Boling Arena.
03-03-17	Missouri State v. Northern Iowa OVER 123.5		70-64	Win	100	16 h 29 m	Show
CBB Late Night Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Great spot to back the over here as the Northern Iowa Panthers will take on the Missouri St. Bears at Scottrade Center. Missouri State is coming off an 86-67 loss to Wichita State and the over is 6-2 in the Bears last eight games following a straight up loss. Northern Iowa lost 63-42 to Illinois St. its last time out and the over is 13-5 in the Panthers last 18 games after scoring fewer than 50 points in their previous game. We saw just a total of 107 points in a 55-52 UNI win on Feb. 12, but I think we'll see this game fly over the posted total.
03-03-17	Blues v. Jets OVER 5.5		0-3	Loss	-110	15 h 46 m	Show
NHL Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The St. Louis Blues will visit the Winnipeg Jets at MTS Centre Friday night, and I think they'll put on a high-scoring show for the crowd. The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a 6-5 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday and had taken a 5-4 OT beating at Toronto prior to that defeat. The over is 38-13-5 in their last 56 after allowing five goals or more in their previous game and we can also note that the over is 6-0 in Jets last six games playing on two days rest. The St. Louis Blues have struggled offensively lately, scoring just a total of six goals through four consecutive defeats but the over is 6-2-4 in the Blues last 12 when their opponent allows five goals or more in their previous game and 7-1 in their last eight when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game.

Top Rated 10* CBB TOTAL OF THE DAY Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Minnesota Golden Gophers are averaging 80.3 ppg home at Williams Arena and the over is 9-0 in their last nine home games. Tonight they'll host the Nebraska Cornhuskers who will be looking to bounce back from a 73-57 loss to Illinois, and we can note that the over is 6-2 in the Cornhuskers last eight games following a double-digit loss at home. They Cornhuskers shot just 37.5% from the field overall in the defeat, and I think they'll put up a better offensive performance tonight.
03-01-17	Nets v. Kings OVER 215		109-100	Loss	-110	12 h 39 m	Show
Late Night NBA Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Sacramento Kings took a 102-88 beating by Minnesota on Monday. The over is 8-3 in their last 11 games following a double-digit loss at home and 5-0-1 in their last six vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The Brooklyn Nets should play with plenty of energy coming off three days of rest since a 112-95 loss at Golden State, their 16th consecutive defeat. The over is 4-0 in the Nets last four games playing on three or more days rest and 5-0 in the last five head-to-head meetings with Sacramento. Let's go with the over here.
