SUPER EARLY MARLINS @ NATS MLB BOOKIE BU$TER

This is indeed a low total, but I still think we'll cash the under. Miami left-hander Trevor Rogers (3-1, 1.29 ERA) has been one of the best pitchers in the league, and he has 38 Ks over 28 innings of work. Nats veteran righty Max Scherzer (1-2, 3.00 ERA) has been superb in four of his six starts on the season, and he has 38 Ks over 30 innings. I don't see Miami having the weapons to hurt him. 

8* play on UNDER. 

LATE GIANTS @ PADRES MLB BOOKIE BOMBER

The San Francisco Giants are 15-10-1 to the under on the season and the San Diego Padres 17-10 to the under. We saw five runs in the opener of this series on Friday. 

Giants righty Anthony DeSclafani (2-0, 1.50 ERA) allowed only three hits in a complete game shutout against Colorado in his last start. Padres left-hander Blake Snell (0-0, 3.92 ERA) has struck out 31 over 20 2/3 innings on the season. 

Under is 7-1 in Giants last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter. Under is 13-3 in Padres last 16 home games. Under is 5-0-1 in the last 6 meetings.

8* play on UNDER. 

CARDINALS @ PIRATES BOOKIE BU$TER

Cards righy-hander Jack Flaherty (4-0, 3.18 ERA) has allowed only four earned runs through his last four starts. Pittsburgh is averaging only 4.08 runs per game (20th) and it is one of the very worst teams at hitting home runs (29th). Pirates' right-hander Trevor Cahill (1-2, 7.11 ERA) has been inconsistent, allowing 7, 1, 6, 1 runs in his four starts. Cahill was solid in his lone home start so far, when he held the Padres to one run with eight Ks through five innings on April 13. 

8* play on UNDER. 

PADRES @ D'BACKS LATE NIGHT BOOKIE BLA$TER

The San Diego Padres are 16-9 to the under on the season. Tonight's starter, Ryan Weathers (1-0, 0.59 ERA) will make just his second major league start, but he has been terrific this season with only one earned run allowed over 15 1/3 innings on the mound. He'll be backed up by a bullpen that has the sixth lowest ERA in the major leagues. The D'Backs counter with Taylor Widener (1-0, 2.82 ERA) for his fifth start of the year. Two of his previous four outings were of the scoreless variety. 

Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

8/10* play on UNDER 9.5

EARLY REDS @ DODGERS MLB BOOKIE BU$TER | 4:10 PM START

The Los Angeles Dodgers have seen each of their last five games go over the total, but I expect a low-scoring affair when they host the Cincinnati Reds in the finale of this three-game series. 

Dodgers' veteran southpaw Clayton Kershaw (3-2, 2.56 ERA) was roughed up on Opening Day, but he has been on fire since, posting a 1.38 ERA over his last four starts. Kershaw posted a 0.48 ERA in three afternoon starts last season. Kershaw has the current Reds roster limited to a  combined.157 AVG over 35 at bats. 

Sonny Gray (0-1, 7.88 ERA) will take the ball for the Reds. Gray was tagged with five runs on six hits in 3 2/3 innings at St. Louis last time out. I think he'll be sharper here, and note that the current Dodgers roster has a combined .094 with 11 Ks over 37 at bats against Gray. 

8/10* play on UNDER.

THUNDER @ CELTICS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Oklahoma City Thunder were held to 90 points in a loss at Philadelphia last night. Only three of their last nine games have gone over the total and they are 13-3 to the under in their last 16 road games. They'll face a Boston team that is looking to bounce back from a 125-104 loss at Charlotte. Through its previous three games, the Celtics had allowed 102, 86 and 109 points. Under is 11-2 in Celtics last 13 home games. Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

8* play on UNDER. 

SUPER EARLY NATS @ METS BOOKIE BREAKER

The Washington Nationals defeated the NY Mets 7-1 on Saturday. They had put up just a total of four runs through their last three games prior to that (no game saw more than six runs), and both the Nationals and the Mets rank in the bottom five in the MLB for runs per game. 

Nats left-hander Patrick Corbin (0-2, 10.95 ERA) opened the season with two abysmal starts, but he held the Cardinals to four hits through six scoreless innings in his last start. The Mets are hitting .213 against southpaws on the season. 

Mets' righty Taijuan Walker (0-1, 3.21 ERA) has yet to allow more than two runs in any start this season and he has 19 Ks through 14 innings of work. The Nats are hitting .221 against right-handers on the season. 

8/10* play on UNDER. 

MIKE'S PHILLIES @ ROCKIES SATURDAY NIGHT BOOKIE BU$TER TOTAL

Coors Field is known as a hitters park, but the bookmakers are of course also aware and know casual bettors will take the over no matter the line. Note that under is 8-3-1 in Rockies home games with a total of 9 or higher this season. 

Philadelphia right-hander Aaron Nola (1-1, 2.19 ERA) knocked out 10 through nine scoreless innings of two-hit ball last time out. Rockies' Antonio Senzatela (1-3, 5.40 ERA) has allowed only two runs through 14 innings in his last two starts at Coors. Last season Senzatela posted a 2.10 ERA in five home starts. 

The two teams combined for nine runs in the series opener on Friday. I think we'll see even fewer runs here in Game 2. 

8/10* play on UNDER. 

MIKE'S SATURDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BOMBER TOTAL

We saw only 191 points when these two teams clashed back in March, and I expect this to be another low-scoring affair. The Bulls have put up 106, 102, 105 and 107 points through their last four games, and they're expected to be without their leading scorer Zach LaVine (in the league's COVID-19 protocols) for this one. The Miami Heat will be playing on short rest after taking a 118-103 loss to Atlanta on Friday. They'll be looking to keep the tempo low. 

Under is 15-6 in Heat last 21 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 15-7 in the last 22 meetings.

8* play on UNDER. 

MIKE'S AL CENTRAL GAME OF THE MONTH | TOP-RATED MLB MAJOR WAGER

This looks like a tough spot for the hitters after playing Friday night and now asked to play early Saturday on very short rest. 

Additionally, we have two hot pitchers on the mound. 

KC right-hander Brady Singer (0-2, 3.77 ERA) is coming off six scoreless innings of two-hit ball against Toronto (2-0 Royals win). Detroit left-hander Matthew Boyd (2-1, 2.03 ERA) has allowed 0, 3, 1, 2 runs in his four starts on the season. Under is 17-4 in Royals' last 21 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Detroit is 12-7 to the under on the season and ranks among the worst for most offensive stats. 

10/10* play on UNDER. 

SUPER EARLY RAPTORS @ KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER

The New York Knicks have the best scoring defense in the NBA, and here they'll take on a Toronto team that has held its last three opponents to 102, 106 and 103 points. I think defense will rule this game.

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Houston Rockets have been held to fewer than 100 points in three of their last four games. In their last game, the Rockets took a 112-89 loss to Utah. Under is 12-4 in Rockets last 16 games following a double-digit loss at home, and here they'll run into one of the best defensive teams in the league. 

The under is 4-1 in the Clippers last five overall. Under is 35-15-1 in Rockets last 51 home games.

10/10* play on UNDER. 

NBA GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT | TOP-RATED TOTAL MAJOR WAGER

The Cleveland Cavaliers are averaging a league-worst 103.8 points per game. Through their last four games, they've put up  103, 101, 96, and 105 points for a 101.3 ppg average. Here they'll face a Chicago Bulls team that has held two straight opponents to 96 points, one of them the Cavs in a 106-96 win just last week. I think this will be another low-scoring affair.  

Bulls are 8-1 to the under in games with a total of 220 or lower this season. Under is 7-3 in Bulls last 10 games as a favorite. Under is 9-3 in Cavaliers last 12 games as an underdog.

10* play on UNDER. 

MLB 3-PACK #3

I'm well happy to take the under here with these two pitchers on the mound. Sure, the Cards Carlos Martinez (0-3, 7.80 ERA) has had a disastrous start to the year, but I think he'll get in the groove soon. We can also note that the Nats are averaging only 3.83 runs per game. As for Washington ace Max Scherzer (0-1, 2.37 ERA), he is obviously a stud and he owns a 3.31 ERA in 11 career starts against the Cardinals. Last time out, Scherzer threw seven scoreless innings of a 1-0 Nats win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, but he did not get the decision. 

The Cards won Tuesday's matchup 3-2, and I would not be surprised if we see a similar amount of runs in this one. 

8* play on UNDER 8. 

MLB 3-PACK #1

The Minnesota Twins were shut out by Oakland not only once, but twice in Tuesday's doubleheader. I think we'll see another low-scoring encounter between the two teams today. 

Oakland right-hander Frankie Montas (2-1, 4.91 ERA) fanned seven through six innings of two-hit ball against Detroit last time out. He limited Houston to one run through six innings his last start prior to that. Only five Twins (combined 12 at bats) have any experience of Montas. Minnesota counters with Kenta Maeda (1-1, 3.07 ERA). In his last two starts, the two teams have combined for only five runs per game. Maeda has struck out 16 through 14 2/3 innings of work on the season and only three A's hitters have seen him before (.125 AVG over eight at bats). 

Under is 13-4-1 in Twins last 18 Wednesday games. Under is 8-3 in Athletics last 11 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game.

8* play on UNDER. 

GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT | TOP-RATED 10* NL TOTAL MAJOR WAGER

The San Francisco Giants came from behind the beat the Philadelphia Phillies 10-7 on Tuesday. I expect a much low-scoring affair in this one. 

Philadelphia righty Zach Eflin (1-0, 3.15 ERA) struck out six through seven innings of two-run ball against the Cards last time out. Eflin has posted a 1.93 ERA with 14 Ks and only 10 hits allowed over 14 innings in two home starts on the season. San Francisco righty Anthony DeSclafani (1-0, 1.06 ERA) has allowed only two runs over 17 innings in 2021.

Under is 7-2 in Giants' last 9 road games and 12-4 in all Giants' games on the season.

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The New York Knicks are top of the league for most defensive ratings. Oddsmakers have struggled to make the totals low enough for games involving the Knickerbockers all season (25-33 over/under overall), and that is particularly true when games are expected to be extremely low-scoring. Note that the Knicks are 10-2-1 to the under in games with a total of 210 points or lower this season, and here they'll face a Hornets team that has struggled to score points of late. 

Under is 6-1 in Hornets last 7 games as an underdog. Under is 16-5 in Hornets last 21 overall.

10* play on UNDER 209.5. 

NBA 3-PACK #3

The Orlando Magic have seen four straight and eight of their last 10 go over the total, but I expect a low-scoring affair when they visit the Atlanta Hawks Tuesday night. The under is 5-0 in Hawks' last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, which the Magic have at just 8-19 away from home on the season. Under is 30-7 in Magic last 37 vs. a team with a winning straight-up record. Under is 37-18 in the last 55 meetings.

Under is 4-1 in Hawks' games with a total of 220 or lower this season. Under is 23-11-3 in Magic's games with a total of 220 or lower this season.

The San Diego Padres are 11-6 to the under on the season and right-hander Joe Musgrove (2-1, 0.47 ERA) has allowed only one run with 24 strikeouts over his 19 innings on the mound.

The Milwaukee Brewers have been held to two runs or fewer in three of their last six games and they're batting only .209 on the season (28th).

Brewers righty Brandon Woodruff (0-0, 2.12 ERA) limited the Cubs to one run on three hits in six innings last time out.

Woodruff has 19 Ks over 17 innings on the mound and has yet to serve up a home run in 2021. 

10* play on UNDER. 

THUNDER @ WIZARDS TOTAL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Oklahoma City Thunder have lost 10 straight games. While they're likely to drop another one here as a double-digit underdog at Washington, I do think the visitors will put up their fair share of points as the Wizards are allowing 118.3 points per game on the season (29th). 

The Wizards have scored 117 points or more in four straight games and I think they'll push the tempo to punish the Thunder who will be playing on short rest.  

Over is 11-4 in Thunder last 15 games playing on 0 days rest. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Washington.

8* play on OVER. 

BLAZERS @ HORNETS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Portland Trail Blazers are coming off a 107-106 win at San Antonio. They did so despite the absence of Damian Lillard who will also miss this game, and without their leading scorer I think the Blazers will be more aggressive on the defensive end instead. The Charlotte Hornets have dropped four in a row, scoring 101, 93, 90 before putting up 115 points against the Nets in their last game. Under is 15-5 in Hornets last 20 overall. Under is 7-2-1 in Hornets last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

8* play on UNDER. 

MLB 3-PACK #2

The San Francisco Giants are struggling at the plate, averaging only 3.47 runs per game (29th) with a .208 AVG (28th). Here they'll have to deal with Pablo Lopez (0-1, 4.60 ERA) who owns a career ERA of 3.14 home at Marlins Park. The Giants turn to left-hander Alex Wood for his first start of the season. Wood owns a 2.77 ERA in 15 appearances, including 12 career starts against the Marlins. He has the current Marlins limited to a .227 AVG with 12 strikeouts over 49 plate appearances. 

8* play on UNDER. 

MLB 3-PACK #3

The Cleveland Indians are 10-4 to the under on the season. They'll face a Cincinnati team that averages a league-best 6.39 runs per game, but note that Tribe righty and reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber (1-1, 2.11 ERA) is 2-0 with a 3.15 ERA in three career starts versus Cincinnati. He has the current Reds limited to a .204 AVG with 13 Ks over 52 plate appearances. The Reds counter with Wade Miley (2-0, 0.00 ERA) who has a 4.60 ERA in seven starts against the Indians, but he has not faced them for a couple of years. 

8* play on UNDER 7.5. 

MLB 3-PACK

St. Louis Cardinals' righty John Gant (0-1, 3.00 ERA) has struggled somewhat with his command, allowing six walks over nine innings of work on the season but I like his chances of shutting down the Phillies. Philadelphia right-hander Aaron Nola (0-1, 3.45 ERA) has been solid in his three starts and only surrendered one home run and walked three through 15 2/3 innings of work. I expect both teams' bats to cool off after combining for 24 runs in the first two games of this series. 

8* play on UNDER 8. 

SUPER EARLY D'BACKS @ NATS TOTAL TOP PLAY | 1:05 FIRST PITCH

The Washington Nationals won Friday's matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks 1-0. I expect another low-scoring affair when the two teams clash for Game 3 of this series on Saturday. 

Arizona right-hander Luke Weaver (1-0, 2.13 ERA) is off to a fast start to the season. In his last start, Weaver held Cincinnati to one hit with eight Ks through seven scoreless innings. Weaver has not faced the Nats since the 2018 season, and note that the Nats are averaging only 3.76 runs per game (28th). 

Washington counters with Erick Fedde (0-1, 8.53 ERA) who was roughed up by Atlanta in his first start of the season, but he held the Cards to one run on two hits in 4 2/3 frames last time out. Fedde has not faced Arizona since the 2019 season. 

Arizona's relievers have combined for a 3.91 ERA (12th) while the Nats' bullpen ranks 20th with a 4.23 ERA. Still, I like the under in this one.

10* play on UNDER. 

GAME OF THE WEEK ALERT | TOP-RATED MLB TOTAL

Good spot for an under when the St. Louis Cardinals visit the Philadelphia Phillies Friday night. 

Philly right-hander Zach Eflin (0-0, 3.46 ERA) was excellent in his lone home start of the season so far, limiting Atlanta to one run on four hits with eight ks through seven innings of a 2-1 Phillies win. 

Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez (0-2, 6.30 ERA) has had two rough outings, but here he'll face a Philadelphia team that averages only 3.73 runs per game (28th). 

Neither bullpen is spectacular, but not awful either. I expect a low-scoring game.

A Los Angeles Lakers team with both Lebron James and Anthony Davis in the lineup defeated Boston 96-95 back on Jan 30. Now the Lakers will have to do without their two biggest stars, and I like the Celtics to get their revenge tonight. 

The Celtics are hot, winning six of their last seven games, the only loss to Philadelphia on April 6. Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games while the Lakers are only 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. 

Additionally, note that the Lakers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and I expect a hungry Celtics side to feast on the shorthanded Lakers that might not only be without Lebron and A.D, but Marc Gasol and Markieff Morris are at risk of missing this one as well. 

I also like the under as Boston has the defensive grit to shut down a Lakers team lacking firepower at the moment. 

8* play on UNDER. 

TOP-RATED 10* MLB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

I expect to see fireworks when the Texas Rangers clash with the Tampa Bay Rays for the finale of a four-game series Thursday night. 

Tampa Bay left-hander Rich Hill (1-0, 7.20 ERA) has allowed four runs in each of his two starts on the season, covering four and six frames respectively. Those two games both saw 15+ runs scored. Rangers righty Jordan Lyles (1-0, 4.50 ERA) has allowed five runs on 11 hits with three homes through 11 innings on the season. I think the Rays can get to him and Texas' bullpen is among the worst in baseball with a 5.17 ERA (25th), one of the few worse is Tampa Bay's (29th). 

Over is 7-0 in Rangers last 7 during game 4 of a series. Over is 8-4 in Rays' 12 games on the season.

The San Diego Padres defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-2 on Monday, and I expect them to win big again in Game 2 of the series.  

Padres' lefty Blake Snell (0-0, 1.86 ERA) has allowed only six hits while recording 16 Ks through his 9 2/3 innings on the mound in 2021. Pittsburgh righty Chad Kuhl (0-1, 6.43 ERA) struggled with his command at Cincinnati last time out and gave up five runs (four earned) on two htis and five walks in four innings of an 11-4 loss. 

This one is simple, back the team with the better bats and the better pitcher on the runline. 

In addition to Padres winning, I also like the under as I expect Snell to shut down the Bucs completely.

Good spot to back the under in this Saturday night game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Sixers will be playing on short rest after taking a 101-94 loss at New Orleans on Friday. Slow down the tempo and just get out of here with a result seems like a likely game plan. Under is 8-0 in 76ers last 8 games as a road favorite and 5-1 in 76ers last 6 overall. The Thunder are averaging only 105.7 ppg on the season, and running up the score against this Philly team is not an easy task.

We saw only a total of 218 points in the most recent meeting back on December 25, but that was before James Harden joined Brooklyn.

The Gaels are 14-8 to the under on the season and the under is 43-16 in their last 59 games as an underdog.

The Raptors were without three of their top five scorers (Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and OG Anunoby) in addition to head coach Nick Nurse in a 129-105 loss to Detroit last night due to COVID-19 protocols.
