At 8:20 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers (908) versus the Houston Astros (907) listing both starting pitchers Charlie Morton and Alex Wood. Houston (110-66) has seen their bats wake up with the sense or urgency that filled them in the 8th inning of Game Two of this series when they were facing Kenley Jansen with a 3-1 deficit. Since those dire moments, the Astros have scored eleven runs in their twelve frames at bat which includes the remaining four innings in their 7-6 victory on Wednesday as well as their 5-3 win over the Dodgers last night in Game Three of this series. The Over is now 3-0-1 in their last 4 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. The Over is also 7-2-1 in their last 10 games against teams that allowed at least five runs in their last game. They give the ball to Morton who is 14-7 with a 3.62 ERA along with a 1.19 WHIP this season. But the right-hander has a 6.23 career ERA with a 1.54 WHIP in his three career starts in the postseason — so there is a good chance he will be feeling some nerves in his first appearance in the World Series. And remember, this Astros bullpen has been unreliable — to say the least. In these playoffs, the Houston bullpen has a 4.50 ERA.

Los Angeles (112-61) has seen the Over go 9-3-2 in their last 14 games after a loss. The Over is also 10-4-2 in the Dodgers’ last 16 games after allowing at least five runs in their last game. And in their last 6 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home, the Over is 4-1-1 for LA. They counter with Alex Wood who was 16-3 with a 2.72 ERA and 1.06 WHIP this season. But while the left-hander was lights out with a 1.67 ERA along with a 0.89 WHIP and .174 opponent’s batting average in 15 games (thirteen starts) prior to the All-Star Break, those numbers rose to a 3.89 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP and .262 opponent’s batting average in twelve regular season starts after the break. The Dodgers have played 4 straight games Over the Total with Wood pitching after a loss. The Astros have played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total against left-handed starting pitchers. And manager Dave Roberts has exhausted his bullpen over the last two games after using eight relievers in Game Two and another five relievers last night. 10* MLB Saturday Night Discounted Deal with Over the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers (908) versus the Houston Astros (907) listing both starting pitchers Charlie Morton and Alex Wood.

At 12:00 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Miami (FL) Hurricanes (129) and the North Carolina Tar Heels (130). Miami (6-0) remained undefeated last week with their 27-19 win over Syracuse as a 17.5-point favorite. The Hurricanes have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win. And while QB Malik Zaire passed for 344 yards in that victory, Miami has played 4 straight games Under the Total after a game where they generated at least 280 passing yards. Now they go back on the road where they have played 5 straight games Under the Total. The Hurricanes bring with them a defense that is 23rd in the FBS by holding opponents to just 18.7 PPG.

North Carolina (1-7) continued their disastrous season last week with a 5907 loss at Virginia Tech as a 20.5-point underdog. The Tar Heels managed just 172 yards of offense in that game. North Carolina has then played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a point spread loss — and they have played 9 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a loss by at least 20 points. This team has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after failing to gain more than 275 yards in their last game. The Tar Heels are 113th in the FBS by averaging only 333.8 total YPG and they are scoring just 11 PPG in their last five games. They return home where they have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total. They also have now played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total in the month of October. And in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record, UNC has played 4 of these games Under the Total. Together, these team trends produce our specific 52-12 combined angle for this situation. 10* CFB Miami (FL)-North Carolina ESPN2 O/U Special with Under the Total in the game between the Miami (FL) Hurricanes (129) and the North Carolina Tar Heels (130).

At 11:30 AM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Buffalo Bulls (123) and the Akron Zips (124). Buffalo (3-5) will be starting a true freshman at QB in Kyle Vantrease with both Drew Anderson and Tyree Jackson declared out for this game. Vantrease completed just 17 of 41 passes last week for 202 yards in the Bulls’ 24-14 loss at Miami (OH) as a 3-point underdog. Buffalo is playing all of their opponents tough with three of their losses by 4 points or less and all five of their defeats being within 10 points — so expect a conservative game plan in this contest with a freshman QB playing in a hostile environment. As it is, the Bulls have played 9 of their last 10 games Under the Total on the road. Furthermore, Buffalo has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. And in their last 5 games after a loss by at least 20 points, the Bulls have played 4 of these games Under the Total. Moving forward, Buffalo has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total in the month of October.

Akron (4-4) enters this game coming off a 48-21 loss at Toledo last Saturday as a 15.5-point underdog. The Zips have then played 25 of their last 34 games Under the Total after both a straight-up loss as well as after a point spread setback. Additionally, Akron has played 36 of their last 51 games Under the Total after a game where they did not score more than 20 points. This Zips offense ranks 116th in the FBS by totaling a mere 326.6 total YPG. And while they did allowing 48 points to the Rockets, they have then played 12 of their last 14 games Under the Total after allowing at least 40 points in their last contest. Moving forward, Akron returns home where they have played 16 of their last 21 games Under the Total. The Zips have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total in the month of October. They have played 5 straight games Under the Total against teams with a losing record. And in their last 13 games played on field turf, Akron has played 12 of these games Under the Total. Together, these team trends produce our specific 163-46 combined angle for this situation. 25* CFB CBS-Sports Network Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Buffalo Bulls (123) and the Akron Zips (124).

At 8:08 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers (905) and the Houston Astros (906) listing both starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Lance McCullers. Los Angeles (112-60) evened this series at 1-1 on Wednesday with their 7-6 win in extra innings in what became a game for the ages in World Series history. The Dodgers have played 5 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. The Under is also 3-0-1 in their last 4 games after an off day. Now they go on the road where the Under is 6-1-1 in their last 8 games away from home. They give the ball to Darvish who is 10-12 with a 3.86 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP this season. The right-hander was been more effective on the road during the regular season where he had a 2.44 ERA with a .206 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 5.25 ERA along with a .246 opponent’s batting average at home with Texas and then the Dodgers after being traded to LA. The right-hander has been outstanding in this postseason where he has a 2–0 record with a 1.59 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in two starts. Darvish’s teams have played 11 of their last 12 road games Under the Total when priced in the +/- 125 price-range. He faces an Astros team that is hitting just .201 over their last seven games with a .280 On-Base Percentage and .638 OPS over that span. Houston has played 8 of their last 9 home games Under the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. The Astros have also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower.

Houston (109-66) has played 9 of their last 13 games Under the Total at home in Minute Maid Park. The Astros have also played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total when hosting the Dodgers. It is telling that manager A.J. Hinch has decided to tap Lance McCullers over Charlie Morton who was the starter in Game Seven of the ALCS against the Yankees last Saturday. McCullers pitched four scoreless innings in that game to earn the save while allowing only one hit and no earned runs. During the regular season, McCullers was 7-4 with a 4.25 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP in twenty-two starts. The right-hander was more effective at home where he owned a 3.04 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP and .222 opponent’s batting average in nine starts as compared to his 5.14 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP and .269 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts on the road. The Astros have played 13 of their last 16 home games Under the Total with McCullers the starting pitcher with the Total set in the 7 to 8.5 range. McCullers has been money this postseason given his 2.08 ERA along with an 0.85 WHIP in 13 innings that includes two starts along with that bullpen stint last week. He faces a Dodgers’ team that its hitting just .233 over their last seven games. Lastly, the Under is 5-0-1 in Los Angeles’ last 6 road games against right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB Playoffs Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers (905) and the Houston Astros (906) listing both starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Lance McCullers. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:25 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Miami Dolphins (101) and the Baltimore Ravens (102). With this Total set in the 37.5 range as of this writing, oddsmakers seem to be trying coax Over bets. Lets not take the bait. After a week where three teams were shutout and another six teams scored 10 points or less in regulation time, there is a good chance that at least one of these teams with limited offenses will fail to score more than 10 points when playing on a short week. Miami (4-2) enters this game coming off their 31-28 win over the NY Jets last week as a 3-point favorite. The Dolphins did generate 357 yards in that game in their best statistical effort on offense all season — but they have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after gaining at least 350 yards in their last game. Miami rushed for just 53 yards in that game — and they have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after failing to rush for more than 90 yards in their last game. QB Jay Cutler has been declared out for this game with his rib injury — and while Matt Moore is a capable backup, some of the talk defending him that approaches Dan Marino territory is a bit overblown. Now this team goes on the road where they have played 4 straight games Under the Total. Miami has also played 3 straight games Under the Total as an underdog. The Dolphins do have a top-ten defense in yards allowed while ranking 7th in the NFL by allowing 18.7 PPG. The Under is 8-0-1 in their last 9 games played on a Thursday night. And in their last 26 games in the month of October, the Under is 17-8-1.

Baltimore (3-4) has lost four of their last five games with their 24-16 loss at Minnesota last week. The Ravens have then played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total after losing four or five of their last six games. The Baltimore offense generated just 144 passing yards in that game while totaling a mere 208 total yards of offense — and they have then played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after failing to pass for at least 150 yards in their last game. This Ravens offense is simply decimated with injuries with tight end Maxx Williams, running back Terrance West and a few wide receivers you have never heard of (who have been pushed into significant playing time given other injuries) being out for this game on a short week. As it is, Baltimore has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total for Thursday Night Football. And in their last 16 games at home, the Ravens have played 11 of these games Under the Total. 25* NFL Thursday Night Football Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Miami Dolphins (101) and the Baltimore Ravens (102). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:08 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Astros (903) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (904) listing both starting pitchers Justin Verlander and Rich Hill. Los Angeles (112-59) won the opening game of this series last night by a 3-1 score. The Dodgers have then seen the Under go 5-0-1 in their last 6 games after a win — and the Under is 5-0-1 in their last 6 games after not allowing more than two earned runs in their last game. And in their last 13 home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road, Los Angeles has played 10 of these games Under the Total. They give the ball to Hill tonight who is 12-8 with a 3.32 ERA and 1.09 WHIP during the regular season. The left-hander was particularly effective at home during the regular season where he enjoyed a 2.77 ERA along with a 1.05 WHIP and .179 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts as compared to his 4.06 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and .233 opponent’s batting average in eleven starts on the road. Hill will be making his first start since October 15th when he allowed only one earned run in 5 innings of work at home against the Cubs in the NLCS. Hill’s teams have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total when he is pitching with at least nine days of rest. He faces a cold Astros lineup that is scoring only 2.7 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .173 batting average along with a .253 On-Base Percentage and .548 OPS over that span. Additionally, the Astros have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower.

Houston (108-66) has played 18 of their last 27 games Under the Total after failing to score more than three runs in their last game. The Astros stranded two baserunners last night — and they have played 30 of their last 45 games Under the Total after a game where their bullpen did not allow an earned run in their last game. The Under is also 7-2-1 in Houston’s last 10 road games against National League opponents. They counter with Justin Verlander who is a perfect 9-0 with 1.23 ERA in eight starts with one postseason appearance out of the bullpen for them since being acquired from the Tigers. In these playoffs, the right-hander has a 1.46 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP in 24 2/3 innings of work. Verlander’s teams have played 27 of their last 37 games Under the Total in the second-half of the season. The Dodgers have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. Lastly, the Under is 19-6-2 in their last 27 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower. 10* MLB Wednesday Afternoon Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Houston Astros (903) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (904) listing both starting pitchers Justin Verlander and Rich Hill.

At 8:08 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Astros (901) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (902) listing both starting pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Clayton Kershaw. Los Angeles (111-59) takes the field again since they eliminated the Cubs in five games last Thursday in their 11-1 victory. The Dodgers have then played 19 of their last 27  home games Over the Total after a win by at least four runs. Los Angeles has not allowed more than three runs in six straight games — but they have then played 40 of their last 62 games Over the Total after allowing no more than three runs in at least five straight games. Furthermore, the Dodgers have seen the Over go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games on their home field. They give the ball to Kershaw who was 18-4 with a 2.31 ERA and 0.95 WHIP during the regular season. But the left-hander is not quite the same pitcher in the postseason where he has a 4.40 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 106 1/3 innings. In these playoffs, Kershaw has a 3.63 ERA which is pretty good (and better than his previous playoff stints) but I expect him to surrender runs in this game. In fourteen starts at home during the regular season, the left-hander had a 2.58 ERA which was a bit higher than his filthy 2.03 ERA in thirteen starts on the road. The Over is 3-1-1 in the Dodgers’ last 5 home games with Kershaw on the mound. He faces a Astros team that has played 5 straight road games Over the Total against left-handed starting pitchers.

Houston (108-65) reached the World Series with their 4-0 win over the Cubs on Saturday. The Astros have then played 9 of their last 13 games Over the Total after a victory. Houston has also played 7 of their last 10 games Over the Total after allowing two runs or less in their last game. The Over is also 15-5-2 in their last 22 games after an off-day for the Astros. Now the Astros go back on the road where they have played 13 of their last 19 games Over the Total away from home. The Over is also 8-3-1 in their last 12 road games against National League teams without the Designated Hitter. They give the ball to Dallas Keuchel who is 14-5 with a 2.90 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP this season. The left-hander was outstanding at home during the regular season where he had a 2.26 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP and .187 opponent’s batting average in eleven starts — but those numbers jumped to 3.53 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and .245 opponent’s batting average in his twelve starts on the road. Keuchel does have a 2-1 record in the postseason with a 2.60 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in three starts — but two of those starts were at home. In his one start away from home in the playoffs, Keuchel was rocked for four earned runs in 4 2/3 innings of work in New York in his last start last Wednesday while giving up seven base hits and issuing a walk. The Astros have then seen the Over go 4-0-2 in their last 6 games with Keuchel pitching with at least five days of rest. Houston has also played 4 straight games Over the Total with Keuchel facing a National League team. Lastly, while the Over is 3-1-1 in the Dodgers’ last 5 home games when facing a left-handed pitcher. 10* MLB Tuesday Daily Discounted Deal with Over the Total in the game between the Houston Astros (901) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (902) listing both starting pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Clayton Kershaw.

At 8:30 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Redskins (477) and the Philadelphia Eagles (478). Philadelphia (5-1) returns to the field tonight after their 28-23 win at Carolina back on October 12th as a 3-point underdog. The Eagles have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a victory on the road. Philadelphia now returns home where they have played 7 of their last 10 home games Under the Total — and this includes playing four straight home games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. The Eagles defense kept the Skins in check in the first meeting between these two teams which they won by a 30-17 score. The Skins managed just 264 yards while rushing for only 64 yards in that game. This rematch is back in Philadelphia where the Eagles are holding their guests to just 15.5 PPG.

Washington (3-2) has won three of their last four games with their 26-24 victory over the 49ers as a 12-point favorite. The Skins have then played 4 of their salt 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 12 of their last 15 games Under the Total after a win at home where they failed to cover the point spread as the favorite. Washington dominated much of that game by generating 25 first downs while controlling the ball for 36:52 of that game. The Skins have played 21 of their last 33 games Under the Total after a game where they controlled the Time of Possession for at least 34 minutes while earning at least 24 first downs. Furthermore, Washington has played 35 of their last 51 games when playing with revenge from a game where they surrendered at least 28 points. And in their last 7 appearances on Monday Night Football, the game finished Under the Total 5 times. 10* NFL Monday Night Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Washington Redskins (477) and the Philadelphia Eagles (478).

At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Atlanta Falcons (475) and the New England Patriots (476). New England (4-2) got away with one last week with their 24-17 win over the Jets where they rallied from an early two-touchdown deficit and were later beneficiaries of a crazy goal-line ruling where a Jets touchdown was instead called a fumble out-of-bounds that actually cost them their Red Zone possession. The Patriots defense continued to be a significant problem for this team as they allowed a woeful Jets’ offense to generate 408 yards of offense. New England has then played 4 straight games Over the Total after allowing at least 350 yards in their last game. The Pats simply cannot generate a pass rush as they are sacking the quarterback just once in every eighteen passes. This Falcons offense is especially potent when QB Matt Ryan is given time to find open receivers. But New England should keep up in what shapes up to be a scoring bonzana — and that certainly what the books are telling us with the Total set in the mid-50s which is basically begging bettors to take the Under. The Patriots have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a victory. New England has also played 8 of their last 11 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. And in their last 72 games at home in Foxboro, the Patriots have played a decisive 49 of these games Over the Total.

Atlanta (3-2) looks to bounce-back from their 20-17 loss at home to Miami last week as a 14-point favorite. The Falcons have played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a point spread loss. Additionally, the field turf that exists on the Patriots’ Gillete Stadium plays to Atlanta’s speed on offense which helps explain why the Falcons have played 14 of their last 16 games Over the Total when playing on field turf. And in their last 9 games against teams with a winning record, the Galcons have played 8 of these games Over the Total. 10* NFL Sunday Night Discounted Deal with Over the Total in the game between the Atlanta Falcons (475) and the New England Patriots (476).

At 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Cincinnati Bengals (455) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (456). Pittsburgh (4-2) returns home this week after their triumphant 19-13 win at Kansas City last week as a 3.5-point underdog. The Steelers defense flexed their muscles by holding the explosive Chiefs offense to just 251 yards of offense in that contest. Pittsburgh was able to control the football for 36L39 of that game due to the outstanding performance of running back LeVeon Bell who ran the ball 32 times for 179 yards. Expect the Steelers to commit to running the football as well in this divisional rivalry. Pittsburgh has played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 14 points in their last game. The Steelers did generate 439 yards of offense in that victory — but they have then seen the Under go 13-2-1 in their last 16 games after gaining at least 350 yards in their last game. Furthermore, Pittsburgh has played 21 of their last 27 games Under the Total against teams with a losing record. And in their last 31 games against fellow AFC North opponents, the Under is 21-8-1.

Cincinnati (2-3) looks to build off their 20-16 win over Buffalo last week as a 3-point favorite. The Bengals have then played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and the Under is a decisive 34-16-1 in their last 51 games after a point spread victory. The offense has been better since they changed offensive coordinators — last week, Cincinnati generated 388 yards of offense against a tough Bills’ defense. The Bengals have then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after gaining at least 350 yards in their last game. Now Cincy goes back on the road where they have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total on the road. And in their last 30 games against fellow AFC North rivals, the Bengals have played 22 of these games Under the Total. Lastly, in the last 8 meetings between these two teams in Pittsburgh, the game has finished Under the Total 7 times. 25* NFL AFC North Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Cincinnati Bengals (455) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (456).

At 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (461) and the Buffalo Bills (462). Buffalo (3-2) looks to bounce-back from their 20-16 loss at Cincinnati two weeks ago as a 4-point favorite. The Bills have then played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, while Buffalo allowed 388 yards to the Bengals, they have then played 7 of their last 10 games Over the Total after allowing at least 350 yards in their last game. Now this team gets back to work at home after their bye week where they have played 9 of their last 10 games Over the Total — and that includes four straight Overs against teams with a losing record on the road.

Tampa Bay (2-3) looks to bounce-back from their 38-33 loss at Arizona last week as a 2.5-point favorite. The Buccaneers have then played 10 of their last 14 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss. Tampa Bay has also played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after allowing at least 30 points in their last game. The Bucs surrendered 432 yards in that game — but they did match that with 454 total yards of offense despite losing QB Jameis Winston to an injury. While Winston looks to take the field again this afternoon, his backup Ryan Fitzpatrick helps generate points either with efforts like his 22 of 32 passing performance against the Cardinals for 290 yards and three TD passes or with his mistakes like his two interceptions he threw against Arizona. The Bucs stay on the road where the Over is 3-1-1 in their last 5 games — and the Over is also 9-4-1 in their last 14 games on the road against teams with a winning record at home. Lastly, Tampa Bay has played 18 of their last 24 games Over the Total in the month of October. 10* NFL Sunday Afternoon Discounted Deal with Over the Total in the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (461) and the Buffalo Bills (462).

At 8:08 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New York Yankees (917) and the Houston Astros (918) listing both starting pitchers C.C. Sabathia and Charlie Morton. Houston (107-65) uncorked their bats last night by scoring seven runs (one run too many for us) in their 7-1 win over the Yankees to force a climactic seventh game. I expect the pressure of the moment to impact the pitchers more than the hitters in what should be a much more competitive game than last night. Both bullpens have been shaky in this series with the typically reliable David Robertson getting hit hard by the Astros yesterday. Houston has played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. The Astros have also played 9 of their last 12 games Over the Total after a victory. And in their last 5 games after allowing two runs or less in their last game, Houston has played 4 of these games Over the Total. They give the ball to Morton who was shelled for seven earned runs in 3 2/3 innings of work in Game Three of this series on Monday. Morton has not fared well in his postseason experiences as he is now saddled with a 7.24 ERA with a 1.76 WHIP in just 13 2/3 innings of work spanning three playoff starts. And while he is pitching on his normal four days of rest, the Astros have seen the Over go 5-2-2 in their last 9 games with Morton pitching on four days of rest. The Houston bullpen has been ineffective as well as they have a 5.40 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP over their last seven games.

At 12:30 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Boston College Eagles (361) and the Virginia Cavaliers (362). Boston College (3-4) looks to build off their 45-42 upset win at Louisville last week as a 20-point underdog. The offensive explosion in that game from this Eagles team that typically relies on stout defense with points hard to come by on offense was a surprise. Expect things to get back to the lower-scoring ways under fifth-year head coach Steve Addazio. Boston College has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after scoring at least 40 points in their last game.

Calgary (13-1-1) has won eleven straight games with their 28-25 win at Hamilton last Friday as a 9.5-point favorite. The Stampeders have then played 9 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a victory on the road where they failed to cover the point spread.

This Calgary team needs a win to clinch the West Division and secure home field up until the Grey Cup. They lead the CFL by holding opponents to just 326.0 total YPG.

Saskatchewan cannot get their running game going as they have not rushed for more than 72 yards in their last five games — and they have then played 6 straight games Under the Total after failing to rush for at least 75 yards in two straight games. This team did pick of Trent Richardson from the NFL scrap heap — and he ran for 60 yards on 14 carries last week. The Riders need this win to clinch a playoff spot. Injuries in their secondary have forced Chris Jones to tap Duron Carter to start in their defensive backfield in this emergency — Chris Carter’s son will be pulling double-duty since he is their best wide receiver. So, there is plenty of drama with this team. They have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total in the month of October. Saskatchewan has also played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total on the road. Furthermore, the Roughriders are looking to avenge a 15-9 loss to the Stampeders back on September 24th.

Verlander comes off a complete game where he allowed only one earned run against the Yankees in Game Two of this series — and not only am I not worried about the carry over from the pitch count from that effort with him pitching on his normal four days of rest but his teams have played 17 of their last 22 games Under the Total when he is following up a start where he allowed one earned run or less. Furthermore, the Astros have played 5 of their 7 games Under the Total with Verlander on the mound for them.

The Chiefs have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and the Under is a decisive 35-15-1 in their last 51 games after a point spread loss.

And in the last 24 meetings between these two teams, the game finished Under the Total 18 times.

Oakland (2-4) failed to score less than 17 points last season to only one team last season with Derek Carr under center — and it happen twice to this Chiefs team that does a great job of pressuring Carr. Entering this season in Carr’s 47 career games, he endured a pressure rate of at least 25% of his pass plays in just fourteen games. Four of those occasions have come against Kansas City. The Raiders offense is struggling as it is after managing only 274 yards of offense in their 17-16 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. Carr’s back injury does not seem to be completely healed which limited his ability to make longer passes in that game. Oakland has now played 17 of their last 25 games Under the Total in the month of October. The Raiders have also played 5 straight games Under the Total against fellow AFC West opponents. And in their last 8 games played for Thursday Night Football, the Under is 5-2-1. 10* NFL Kansas City-Oakland O/U Special with Under the Total in the game between the Kansas City Chiefs (301) and the Oakland Raiders (302).

Los Angeles (110-59) looks to bounce-back from their 3-2 loss in Game Four of this series last night. The Dodgers have now played straight road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home. These two teams have also now played 19 of their last 26 games Under the Total when battling in Wrigley Field. Los Angeles turns to their ace Kershaw who is 18-4 with a 2.31 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP this season. The left-hander has a better ERA on the road with a 2.03 mark in thirteen regular season starts as compared to his 2.58 ERA in fourteen home starts.

The Under is a decisive 20-6-1 in their last 27 games with Kershaw facing a team with a winning record. The Dodgers have also played 21 of their last 29 games Under the Total with Kershaw looking to stop a team losing streak. And in the last 12 games against the Cubs, the Under is 9-2-1 for Kershaw when he makes the start. He faces this Chicago team that is still struggling to score runs.

At 9:01 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers (967) and the Chicago Cubs (968) listing both starting pitchers Alex Wood and Jake Arrieta. Chicago (95-75) finds themselves on the brink of elimination tonight after their 6-1 loss to the Dodgers last night. The Cubs have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a loss. Chicago has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after scoring two runs or less in their last game. Furthermore, not only have the Cubs played 4 straight home games Under the Total but they have also played 24 of their last 36 games Under the Total at home when a money-line favorite in the -100 to -150 price range. I was a little surprised to the see the Total listed at 9.5 (as of this writing) when it opened — but Chicago has played 29 of their last 46 games Under the Total with the Total set in the 9 to 9.5 range. They give the ball to Arrieta who is 14-10 with a 3.53 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been more effective at home where he owns a 2.90 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP and .206 opponent’s batting average in ten starts. Arrieta has been good in the playoffs throughout his career given his 3.33 ERA along with a 1.07 WHIP in 46 innings of work. Additionally, the Under is 4-1-1 in the Cubs’ last 6 games with Arrieta facing a team with a winning record. He faces a Dodgers team that has seen the Under go 4-0-1 in their last 5 road games against right-handed starting pitchers.

Los Angeles (110-58) has seen the Under go 3-0-1 in their last 4 games after a victory. The Dodgers have also played 5 straight road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. They give the ball to Alex Wood who is making his start this postseason. He seems to not be given much respect from the oddsmakers and the betting public with this Total in the 9 range. The left-handed enjoyed a breakout season where he posted a 16-3 record with a 2.72 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP this season. The left-hander has been outstanding on the road where he owns a 2.24 ERA with a 0.98 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .203 in thirteen starts as compared to his 3.20 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and .231 opponent’s batting average in fourteen games (twelve starts) at home. Los Angeles has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total with Wood facing a team with a winning record. He should thrive against this cold Cubs lineup that is scoring only 2.6 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .174 batting average with a .245 On-Base Percentage and .522 OPS over that span. Furthermore, the Under is 4-0-1 in Chicago’s last 5 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower. 25* MLB National League Playoffs Total of the Year with Los Angeles Dodgers (967) and the Chicago Cubs (968) listing both starting pitchers Alex Wood and Jake Arrieta.

At 5:08 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Astros (969) and the New York Yankees (970) listing both starting pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Masahiro Tanaka. Houston (106-64) looks to bounce-back from their 6-4 loss to the Yankees that evened this series at 2-2. The Astros have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a loss — and they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. Furthermore, Houston has not scored more than four runs in their last four games — and they have scored only combined nine runs in those last four games. The Astros have then played a decisive 29 of their last 40 games Under the Total after scoring four runs or less in each of their last four games. They give the ball to Kuechel this afternoon who is 14-5 with a 2.90 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP this season. The left-hander raises his level of play in the postseason. In 26 2/3 innings in the playoffs, Kuechel has a 1.69 ERA with a 0.97 WHIP — and this includes an 0.71 ERA with a 0.87 WHIP in his 12 2/3 innings of work this postseason. Houston has played 4 straight road games Under the Total with Keuchel facing a team with a winning record. He faces a New York team that is hitting just .211 over their last seven games with a .292 On-Base Percentage and .655 OPS.

The Under is 7-2-1 in the Yankees’ last 10 home games with Tanaka on the mound. Tanaka pitches well in the postseason as well as he sports a 2.00 ERA with a 0.89 WHIP in 16 playoff innings. The veteran was awesome in Game Three of the ALDS where he allowed no earned runs in 7 innings of work in the Yankees 1-0 victory over the Indians. He should fare well against this Astros team that is hitting just .238 over their last seven games with a .318 On-Base Percentage and a .677 OPS. Lastly, Houston has played 11 of their last 15 games Under the Total against left-handed starting pitchers. 10* MLB Wednesday Afternoon Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Houston Astros (969) and the New York Yankees (970) listing both starting pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Masahiro Tanaka.

McCullers had a 7-4 record with a 4.25 ERA and 1.30 WHIP this season that was shortened due to injuries. But while the right-hander had a 3.04 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP and .222 opponent’s batting average in nine starts at home, those numbers exploded to a 5.14 ERA along with a 1.39 WHIP and .269 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts on the road.

At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Indianapolis Colts (275) and the Tennessee Titans (276). Indianapolis (2-3) has won two of their last three games with their 26-23 win in overtime over San Francisco last week. The Colts have found an answer at QB during the continued absence of Andrew Luck with Jacoby Brissett who was always an intriguing prospect when initially drafted in the 3rd round by the Patriots after a good career at NC State. Brissett completed 22 of 34 passes for 314 yards with a TD while adding another 14 yards with a TD on the ground. By giving the Colts a credible passing attack, the running game has thrived as well behind age-less wonder Frank Gore and Marlon Mack. Indy ran the ball 35 times for 159 yards in their win over the 49ers — and they have then played 5 straight games Over the Total after rushing for at least 150 yards in their last game. But defense has been a problem for this team. Brain Hoyer passed for 336 yards against them — and they have played 7 of their last 10 games Over the Total after allowing at least 300 passing yards in their last game. The Colts are allowing 408 YPG over their last three games — and they have then played 9 of their last 13 games Over the Total after allowing at least 400 YPG over their last three games.

Furthermore, Indianapolis has played 25 of their last 34 games on the road — and they have 19 of their last 25 road games Over the Total as an underdog getting 7.5 to 10 points. And in their last 7 games played in the month of October, Indy has played 6 of these games Over the Total.

Tennessee (2-3) looks to get their offense going after managing just 188 yards in a 16-10 loss at Miami last week. The Titans have then seen the Over go 10-4-1 in their last 15 games after a straight-up loss. And while the Tennessee defense held the Dolphins to just 178 yards, they have then played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after not allowing more than 250 yards in their last game. The team will be jump-started on offense with the return of Marcus Mariota under center. The offense was just not the same with Matt Cassel at QB who lacks the mobility that is needed to work in this Mike Mularkey system. Tennessee returns home where the Over is 35-13-1 in their last 49 home games against teams with a losing record. The Over is also 10-2-1 in the Titans last 13 games against teams with a losing record. 25* NFL AFC South Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Indianapolis Colts (275) and the Tennessee Titans (276).

At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New York Giants (273) and the Denver Broncos (274). The fact the Giants’ wide receiving corp is out with injuries has helped move the Total of this game down at least 3 points from its opening at 41. Denver (3-1) has a great defense — but the Over is still 8-3-2 in their last 13 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. The Broncos have had an extra week to rest and prepare after their 16-10 win over the Raiders as a 3.5-point favorite back on October 1st. Denver has played 6 straight games Over the Total after a win at home. The Broncos have also played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after a point spread victory.

New York (0-5) looks to bounce-back from their 27-22 upset loss to the Chargers lat Sunday. The Giants have played three straight games that finished Over the Total — and they have then played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after playing at least their last two games Over the Total. The Giants have lost three last three games by 5 points or less — and they have then played 10 of their last 13 games Over the Total after suffering at least two straight losses by 6 points or less. New York has also played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after suffering at least two straight losses, in general. The Giants wide receiving corps is decimated with both Odell Beckham and Brandon Marshall suffering season-ending injuries. But New York is generating a ground game after producing 152 rushing yards last week behind rookie Wayne Gallman from Clemson who ran the ball 11 times for 47 yards along with Orleans Darkwa who added 69 rushing yards on eight carries. The Over is 17-8-2 in their last 27 games after rushing for at least 150 yards in their last game. Lastly, the Over is 4-1-1 in the Giants’ last 6 games when played on grass. 10* NFL Giants-Broncos’ O/U Special with Over the Total in the game between the New York Giants (273) and the Denver Broncos (274).

At 7:38 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Cubs (907) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (908) listing both starting pitchers Jon Lester and Rich Hill. The money-line quickly moved to place the Dodgers as money-line favorites in the -155 range — and that is a Black Hole area for us as I don’t like taking money-line favorites (or the accompanying dog) nor Run-Line Dogs (or the accompanying Run-Line Favorite) when the price is above -150 that betting favorite. I think there is a strong side play out there that I will release before game-time if I see enough line movement to have it fit into my self-imposed guidelines. If that line-movement does not occur, I will still release this opinion as a free play by 7 PM ET (FYI) -- UPDATE: I missed the 30 minute deadline at this site -- I liked the Cubs +1.5 Run-Line but it still priced at -155 across the board. The Over remains a solid investment tonight. Chicago (95-73) looks to bounce-back from their 5-2 loss to the Dodgers in the opening game of this series. The Over is then 13-6-1 in the Cubs’ last 20 games after scoring two runs or less in their last game. The Over is also 3-1-2 in Chicago’s last 6 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. They give the ball to Lester who is 13-8 with a 4.33 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP this season. The left-hander has not been as effective on the road where he has been saddled with a 4.41 ERA along with a 1.38 WHIP and .265 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts as compared to his 4.27 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and .254 opponent’s batting average in eighteen starts at home. The Cubs have played 7 straight road games Over the Total with Lester pitching with the Total set in the 7 to 8.5 range. And while Lester was strong in his previous start in the postseason where he allowed only one earned run in 6 innings of work against the Nationals (Lester later had a lengthy bullpen stint in Game Four of that series), Chicago has played 24 of their last 31 road games Over the Total when Lester is looking to follow up a start where he allowed only one earned run. He faces a hot-hitting Los Angeles team that is scoring 5.3 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .270 batting average along with a .358 On-Base Percentage and .771 OPS over that span. The Over is 3-1-1 in the Dodgers’ last 5 games against left-handed starting pitchers. Keep in mind that if Lester gets in trouble in this game, the Cubs’ bullpen has a 6.49 ERA along with a 1.67 WHIP in their last seven games.

Overall, Kershaw has a 5-7 record with a 4.63 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 95 1/3 innings of work. He has allowed four earned in the 6 1/3 innings that he started in these playoffs against the Diamondbacks which sent a big signal to me that he is simply not over his postseason problems. He faces a veteran and confidence Cubs team that hits lefties very well. Chicago averages 5.5 Runs-Per-Game against left-handed starting pitchers with a .271 batting average along with a .351 On-Base Percentage and .789 OPS.

The right-hander has been even less effective at home where he has been saddled with a 5.43 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and .306 opponent’s batting average in ten starts as compared to his 3.67 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and .260 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts on the road.

He was complemented by rookie running back Kendall Hunt who rushed the ball 21 times for 101 yards. Overall, Kansas City rushed for 168 yards en route to their 429 total yards of offense.

Now New York returns home to Yankee Stadium where they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total. The Yanks have also played 7 of their last 9 games in the playoffs at home Under the Total. They give the ball to Tanaka who is 13-12 with a 4.74 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP this season.

The Under is 6-2-1 in the Yankees’ last 9 home games with Tanaka on the hill.

The Over is also 3-1-1 in Arizona’s last 5 games with Hill facing this Diamondbacks’ team. Arizona is swinging hot bats that have produced 7.0 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven contests with a .288 batting average along with a .375 On-Base Percentage and .911 OPS over that span. The Diamondbacks have played 5 straight games Over the Total against left-handed starting pitchers.

Arizona (94-70) has played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. The Diamondbacks have also played 16 of their last 23 games Over the Total as an underdog in the +125 to +175 price range. And in their last 6 games in the playoffs, the Over is 4-1-1. They counter with Robbie Ray who is 15-5 with a 2.89 ERA and 1.15 WHIP this season. The Over is 4-1-1 in Arizona’s last 6 games with Ray facing a team with a winning record.

Lastly, the Dodgers have played 4 of their last 5 home games Over the Total against left-handed starting pitchers. 10* MLB Saturday Night Late Show O/U Bailout with Over the Total in the game between the Arizona Diamondbacks (903) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (904) listing both starting pitchers Robbie Ray and Rich Hill. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 5:30 PM EDT, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Cubs (901) and the Washington Nationals (902) listing both starting pitchers Jon Lester and Gio Gonzalez. Chicago (93-70) won the opening of this Best-of-Five series last night with their 3-0 shutout victory. Despite that low-scoring result, the Over is still 5-2-1 in the Cubs’ last 8 games in the NLDS. Chicago has also played 5 of their last 7 Over the Total in the second game of a new series. They five the ball to Lester who is 13-8 with a 4.33 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP this season. The left-hander has not been as effective on the road where he has a 4.41 ERA along with a 1.38 WHIP and .265 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts as compared to his 4.27 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and .254 opponent’s batting average in eighteen starts on the road. The Cubs have played 7 straight road games Over the Total with Lester pitching with the Total set in the 7-8.5 range. And in their last 5 games with Lester facing a team with a winning record, Chicago has played 4 of these games Over the Total. Despite being shutout last night, the Nationals remain a powerful hitting team at home. Washington scored 5.1 Runs-Per-Game at home with a .285 batting average along with a .350 On-Base Percentage and a .796 OPS.

Washington (97-66) will be pulling out all the stops to win this game since falling behind 0-2 in this series with it moving to Wrigley Field on Monday would present very dire circumstances. The Nationals have played 4 straight games Over the Total after failing to score more than two runs in their last game. And while Washington has lost five of their last seven games, they have then played 39 of their last 61 games Over the Total after losing five or six of their last seven games. They counter with Gio Gonzalez who is 15-9 with a 2.96 ERA and 1.18 WHIP this season. The left-hander has been less effective at home where he has a 1.20 WHIP and .226 opponent’s batting average in fifteen starts as compared to his 1.16 WHIP and .208 opponent’s batting average in seventeen starts on the road. The Nationals have played a decisive 40 of their last 60 home games Over the Total with Gonzalez starting as a money-line favorite in the -100 to -150 price range. Washington has also played 23 of their last 32 games Over the Total with Gonzalez pitching after a loss. Lastly, he faces a Cubs team that hits lefties hard. Chicago scores 5.5 Runs-Per-Game with a .273 batting average along with a .352 On-Base Percentage and .794 OPS when against left-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB National League Divisional Series Total of the Year with the Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Cubs (901) and the Washington Nationals (902) listing both starting pitchers Jon Lester and Gio Gonzalez. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:35 PM EDT on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Chicago Cubs (981) and the Washington Nationals (982) while listing both starting pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Stephen Strasburg. Chicago (92-70) enters this series having played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. Frankly, I loved the Cubs in this game plus the +1.5 Run-Line and waited until 11:30 AM EDT to make a call on this game — but with the Cubs price at +1.5 Runs moving into the -160 price range, it is too expensive in respects to my self-imposed guideline to not endorse baseball (or hockey) prices that are higher than -150 (3:2 odds). The Under remains a solid investment opportunity for us behind Hendricks. The right-hander has a 7-5 record with a 3.03 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP this season. Hendricks has been more effective on the road where he has a 2.83 ERA along with a 1.08 WHIP and .234 opponent’s batting average in eleven starts as compared to his 3.20 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and .248 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts at home. The Cubs have played 9 of their last 10 home games Under the Total with Hendricks pitching at home. Chicago has also played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total when on the road.

Washington (97-65) takes the field again for this first time since the regular season ended on Sunday — and they have then played 10 of their last 11 games Under the Total after an off day. The Under is also 20-3-4 in the Nationals’ last 27 opening games to a new season. Additionally, Washington has seen the Under go 6-1-1 in the last 8 games against teams with a winning record. And in their last 8 games at home, the Under is 5-2-1. They counter with Stephen Strasburg who is 15-4 with a 2.52 ERA and 1.02 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been more effective at home where he has a 0.97 WHIP and .202 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts as compared to his 1.06 WHIP and .207 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts on the road. Strasburg come off seven shutout innings against the Pirates in 7 2/3 innings of work back on September 29th — and the Nationals have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total with Strasburg following a Quality Start in his last performance. 10* MLB Friday Night Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Chicago Cubs (981) and the Washington Nationals (982)  while listing both starting pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Stephen Strasburg.

At 5:05 PM EDT on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the New York Yankees (987) and the Cleveland Indians (988) listing both starting pitchers C.C. Sabathia and Corey Kluber. Cleveland (103-60) won the opening game of this series last night with their 4-0 shutout victory over the Yankees. The Indians have then played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a victory. Cleveland has also seen the Under go a decisive 16-5-2 in their last 23 home games against teams with a winning record. Furthermore, the Indians have played 18 of their last 24 home games Under the Total when a money-line favorite priced at -200 or higher. They give the ball to their ace Kluber who is 18-4 with a 2.25 ERA and an opponent’s batting average of 0.87 WHIP this season. The right-hander has made six postseason starts spanning 34 1/3 innings of work — and he owns a 4-1 record with a 1.83 ERA and 1.05 WHIP this year. Kluber has been outstanding at home this season where he enjoys a 1.81 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and .197 opponent’s batting average in sixteen starts as compared to his 2.83 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and .210 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts on the road. The Under is 18-7-1 in Cleveland’s last 26 games at home with Kluber on the hill. He should thrive against this Yankees team that is scoring just 3.9 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .224 batting average along with a .295 On-Base Percentage and .710 OPS over that span.

New York (92-72) has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after scoring two runs or less in their last game. The Yankees have also played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total on the road. And in their last 11 games in the playoffs, New York has played 8 of these games Under the Total.

The Yankees have played 6 of their last 7 road games Under the Total with Sabathia on the mound. And while Sabathia comes off 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his last start against the Blue Jays, New York has then seen the Under go 21-4-2 in their last 27 games with Sabathia looking to follow up a Quality Start. He faces a Cleveland team hitting just .239 with a .726 OPS over their last seven games. Lastly, the Indians have played 5 straight home games Under the Total against left-handed starting pitchers. 10* MLB Friday Afternoon Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the New York Yankees (987) and the Cleveland Indians (988) listing both starting pitchers C.C.

At 2:05 PM EDT on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Boston Red Sox (985) and the Houston Astros (986) listing both starting pitchers Drew Pomeranz and Dallas Kuechel. Boston (93-70) will be playing with desperation this afternoon after they lost the opening game of this series yesterday by an 8-2 score. The Red Sox have then played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after a loss. Boston has also played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after scoring two runs or less in their last game. And in their last 6 road games agains teams with a winning record at home, the Red Sox have played 5 of these games Over the Total. They send out Pomeranz who is 17-6 with a 3.32 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP this season. The left-hander has not been as effective on the road where he has a 1.43 WHIP and .255 opponent’s batting average in fifteen starts as compared to his 1.28 WHIP and .249 opponent’s batting average in seventeen starts at home. Pomeranz has pitched 3 2/3 innings in playoff action in his career but has a 4.91 ERA and 1.64 WHIP to show for it. He does come off a strong outing where he allowed just one earned run in 6 innings of work against this same Houston team — but Boston has then played 9 of their last 13 games with Pomeranz looking to follow up a Quality Start. Pomeranz’s teams have also played 11 of their last 13 games Over the Total with the number in the 8 to 8.5 range. He faces a hot-hitting Houston team that is scoring 8.0 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .323 batting average along with a .382 On-Base Percentage and an .891 OPS over that span. The Astros have played 4 straight games Over the Total against left-handed starting pitchers.

Houston (102-61) have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a victory — and they have played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. The Astros have also played 11 of their last 13 games Over the Total in the Divisional round of the playoffs. They counter with Dallas Keuchel who is 14-5 with a 2.90 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP this season. The left-hander comes off a nice outing where he allowed one earned run in 6 innings at Texas in his last start — but the Over is 7-2-2 in Houston’s last 11 games with Kuechel looking to follow up a Quality Start. Keuchel has not pitched well in three games and two starts against the Red Sox where he has a 9.88 ERA. Lastly, Boston has played 5 straight games Over the Total against left-handed starting pitchers. 10* MLB Friday Afternoon O/U Matinee with Over the Total in the game between the Boston Red Sox (985) and the Houston Astros (986) listing both starting pitchers Drew Pomeranz and Dallas Kuechel. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:25 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the New England Patriots (303) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (304). New England (2-2) has been dismal on defense so far this season as they are allowing 32.7 PPG along with 456.7 total YPG. They surrendered 444 yards last week in their 33-30 loss to Carolina at home in Foxboro. The oddsmakers have responded by placing this Total very high in the low 50s. This is an opportune time to be contrarian and expect a lower scoring game — and this line of thinking is supported by an empirical angle that has been 77% effective over the last ten seasons. New England has seen their last two games finish Over the Total by 15 and 24.5 points over their last two games — and in games after the first month of the season involving a road team that has seen their last two games finish Over the Total by at least two touchdowns, these games then finished Under the Total in 30 of the last 39 situations where these conditions applied. The Patriots defense is not as bad as the numbers suggest in these first four games. And while the New England offense has been prolific still behind Tom Brady, they have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a game where they gained at least 350 yards in their last game (Patriots: 373 yards last week). Furthermore, the Pats have played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total when playing on grass.

Tampa Bay (2-1) enters this game coming off a 25-23 win over the Giants at home last week. The Under is then 4-1-1 in their last 6 games at home. The Buccaneers allowed 379 yards in that contest — and they have then see the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after allowing at least 350 yards in their last contest. This team has an underrated defense that has allowed only 12.0 PPG over their last six games at home. Tampa Bay has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total on their home field. 10* NFL Thursday Night Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the New England Patriots (303) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (304). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:00 PM EDT on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Louisville Cardinals (305) and the North Carolina State Wolfpack (306). Louisville (4-1) has won two straight games with their 55-10 win over Murray State last Saturday. The Cardinals have then played 14 of their last 20 games Under the Total after a win by at least 20 points. Louisville held the Racers to just 80 yards in that game — and they have then seen the Under go 17-8-1 in their last 26 games after allowing no more than 275 yards in their last contest. This Cardinals team once again has a strong defense that returned seven starters from last season — and they are 27th in the nation so far this year by holding their opponents to just 317.6 total YPG. Moving forward, the Under is 18-7-1 in Louisville’s last 26 games in October. And in their last 24 games as a favorite in the 3.5 to 10 point range, the Cardinals have played 18 of these games Under the Total.

NC State (4-1) enters this game coming off a 33-25 win over Syracuse last week as a 14-point favorite. The Wolfpack have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up victory. NC State held the Orange to just 59 rushing yards in that contest — and they have then played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 75 rushing yards in their last game. The Wolfpack did generate 462 yards of offense in this victory — but they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after gaining at least 450 yards in their last contest. Moving forward, NC State has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after winning at least two straight games. The Wolfpack has also played 7 straight games Under the Total against ACC opponents. And in their last 18 games playing on a Thursday night, the Under is an incredible 16-1-1. 10* CFB Louisville-NC State ESPN O/U Special with Under the Total in the game between the Louisville Cardinals (305) and the North Carolina State Wolfpack (306). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:00 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Colorado Rockies (933) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (934) listing both starting pitchers Jon Gray and Zack Greinke. Colorado (87-75) has to travel to Chase Field in Arizona for the National League Wildcard showdown — and the Over is 5-2-1 in their last 8 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. They send out Job Gray who is 10-4 with a 3.67 ERA and 1.30 WHIP this season. But while the right-hander has a 3.13 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and .244 opponent’s batting average in eight starts at home, those numbers rise to a 4.06 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and .281 opponent’s batting average in twelve starts on the road. Additionally, the Over is 3-1-1 in the Rockies’ last 5 opening games to a new series behind Gray. He faces a strong Arizona lineup that scores 5.6 Runs-Per-Game at home with a .274 batting average along with a .346 On-Base Percentage and .819 OPS.

Arizona (93-69) has seen the Over go 25-9-1 in their last 35 games after an off day. The Over is also 11-5-1 in their last 17 games at home — and this includes a 5-2-1 Over mark in their last 8 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. They counter with Zack Greinke who is 17-7 with a 3.20 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP this season. But the right-hander has not been nearly as dominant during the postseason where he has a 3.55 ERA for his career. 10* MLB Wednesday Daily Discounted Deal with Over the Total in the game between the Colorado Rockies (933) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (934) listing both starting pitchers Jon Gray and Zack Greinke. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:00 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Arkansas State Red Wolves (301) and the Georgia Southern Eagles (302). Georgia Southern (0-3) is still looking for the first win of the season after their 52-17 loss at Indiana back on September 23rd. The play of the Eagles defense was not quite as bad as the scoreboard reflected with two of the Hoosiers’ touchdowns resulting from a 70-yard punt return as well as a 22-yard fumble recovery. Overall, Georgia Southern allowed 468 yards in that game — but they have then played 13 of their last 17 games Under the Total after allowing at least 450 yards in their last game. The Eagles have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after allowing at least 40 points in their last contest. Now Georgia Southern begins conference play with a bit of a blank slate. This team needs to get their “Flexbone” offense going again after this team got away from that foundation last season in the first year under head coach Tyson Summers. The team averaged 22 passing attempts last season which was double the amount in the previous season under Willie Fritz. The Eagles did rush for 242 yards against Indiana — and they have then played 11 of their last 15 games Under the Total after rushing for at least 200 yards in their last game. Keeping the potent Arkansas State offense off the field has to be a top priority for this team tonight. Georgia Southern has played 7 of their last 9 games in the Sun Belt Under the Total. And in their last 6 games in the month of October, the Eagles have played 5 of these games Under the Total.

Arkansas State (1-2) looks to bounce-back from a 24-21 loss at SMU on September 23rd as a 3-point underdog. The Red Wolves have then played 5 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, Arkansas State has seen the Under go 7-2-1 in their last 10 games after a loss by at least 20 points. And the Red Wolves have played 5 straight games Under the Total after allowing at least 40 points in their last game. Now this team begins their conference schedule as well — and they return five starters from a group that help Sun Belt opponents to just 15.3 PPG last season. Lastly, Arkansas State has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total on the road. 25* CFB Sun Belt Conference Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Arkansas State Red Wolves (301) and the Georgia Southern Eagles (302). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:00 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Minnesota Twins (931) and the New York Yankees (932) listing both starting pitchers Ervin Santana and Luis Severino. We have a strong technical situation here. New York (91-71) hosts this AL Wildcard game tonight as a heavy money-line favorite — and they have played 13 of their last 17 home games Over the Total as a money-line favorite priced at least at -200. The Yankees enter this game having allowing 2 runs, 1 run and zero runs in their last three games. But New York has then played 20 of their last 30 games Over the Total after allowing three runs or less in their last two contests — and they have played 8 straight home games Over the Total after allowing no more than three runs in three straight games. And in their last 10 games after an off day, the Yankees have played 7 of these games Over the Total. They give the ball to Severino who is 14-6 with a 2.98 ERA and 1.04 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been less effective at home where he owns a 3.71 ERA in sixteen starts as compared to his 2.24 ERA in fifteen starts on the road. New York has played 7 of their last 8 home games Over the Total with Severino on the mound — and that includes playing four straight Overs at home with Severino facing a team with a winning record. Furthermore, while Severino comes off a strong outing where he allowed just one earned run in 6 innings against the Rays — and not only have the Yankees played 8 of their last 9 games Over the Total with Severino following up a Quality Start but they have also played 12 of their last 16 games Over the Total with Severino following up a start where he allowed only one earned run.

Minnesota (85-77) enters this playoff game coming off a 5-1 win over the Tigers on Sunday — and they have played 24 of their last 36 games Over the Total on the road after a win by at least four runs. The Twins have also played 4 straight games Over the Total after an off day. Furthermore, Minnesota has played 7 of their last 10 opening games to a new series Over the Total. They counter with Ervin Santana who is 16-8 with a 3.28 ERA and 1.13 WHIP this season. But the right-hander has struggled in the postseason. In 22 2/3 innings of work in the postseason which includes two starts and six appearances from the bullpen, Santana has a 5.56 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP. Lastly, Minnesota has seen the Over go 5-2-1 in their last 8 games on the road. 25* MLB Wildcard Playoff Total of the Year with the Over the Total in the game between the Minnesota Twins (931) and the New York Yankees (932) listing both starting pitchers Ervin Santana and Luis Severino.

At 8:30 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Redskins (279) and the Kansas City Chiefs (280). Kansas City (3-0) remained one of the two remaining undefeated teams in the league last week with their 34-17 win in Los Angeles against the Chargers. The stout Chiefs defense has not allowed more than 20 points in six of their last eight games. They have played 9 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Kansas City has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 14 points in their last game. QB Alex Smith passed for only 155 yards in that game — and they have then seen the Under go 3-1-1 in their last 5 games after not passing for more than 150 yards in their last game. Now the Chiefs return home where they have played a decisive 39 of their last 56 games Under the Total — and this includes playing eight of their last eleven home games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. Additionally, KC has played 5 of their last 7 appearances on Monday Night Football Under the Total.

Washington (2-1) flexed their muscles on defense last Sunday night in their 27-10 win over the Raiders as a 3.5-point underdog. The Skins held the powerful Oakland offense to just seven first downs and only 128 total yards of offense in that victory. Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky has his unit playing with intensity and passion behind some great game plans so far this season. Washington has then played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have also played 4 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Furthermore, the Under is 10-4-1 in the Skins’ last 15 games after not allowing more than 250 yards in their last game. This team has moved to a power run offensive attack this season — they controlled the football for over 38 minutes of that win over the Raiders. Keeping the Oakland offense off the field was how they limited them to just seven first downs while keep that score Under the Total. Lastly, Washington has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total for Monday Night Football. 25* NFL Monday Night Football Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Washington Redskins (279) and the Kansas City Chiefs (280).

At 8:30 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Indianapolis Colts (277) and the Seattle Seahawks (278). Indianapolis (1-2) looks to build off their 31-28 win over Cleveland last Sunday as a 1-point underdog. The Colts got very good quarterback play from for Patriots’ signal caller Jacoby Brissett who completed 17 of 24 passes for 259 yards and a TD pass. Now the Colts go on the road where they have played 24 of their last 33 games Over the Total on the road. Indianapolis has also played 11 of their last 15 road games Over the Total as an underdog. Additionally, Indianapolis has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total in the month of October. And in their last 7 games against teams with a losing record, the Colts have played 5 of these games Over the Total.

Seattle (1-2) enters this game coming off a 33-27 loss in Tennessee to the Titans. Defense has been a concern for this team that ranks 23rd in the NFL in total defense by allowing 346.0 total YPG. The Titans rolled up 420 yards of offense against this unit last week. Not only have the Seahawks then played 8 of their last 11 games Over the Total after allowing at least 350 yards in their last game but they have also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least 400 yards in their last game. Seattle did pass for 373 yards in that game behind QB Russell Wilson — and they have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after passing for at least 350 yards in their last game. Together, these team trends produce our specific 54-19 combined angle for this situation. 10* NFL Sunday Night Discounted Deal with Over the Total in the game between the Indianapolis Colts (277) and the Seattle Seahawks (278). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 4:25 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Oakland Raiders (275) and the Denver Broncos (276). A couple of new pieces of information this afternoon pushes this situation into a worthwhile investment opportunity with the Under. First, Denver (2-1) has moved to become a favorite of 3.5 points in many locations — and they have then played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total when favorited in the 3.5 to 10 point range. Second, the Raiders will officially be without their wide receiver Michael Crabtree who is dealing with a chest injury. The impact of injuries can be overstated — but that has not been the case lately in the NFL with the mass attrition that many teams are facing (especially on the offensive line — it really does make a difference if one or two key players cannot take the field).

At 1:00 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Buffalo Bills (267) and the Atlanta Falcons (268). Atlanta (3-0) returns home still unscathed this season after escaping Detroit with a 30-26 win as a 3-point favorite. The Over is then 13-2-1 in the Falcons’ last 16 games after a straight-up win — and the Over is also 6-0-1 in their last 7 games after a point spread victory. Additionally, Atlanta has played 12 straight games Over the Total on their home field. Moving forward, the Falcons have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total in the month of October. And in their last 8 games against teams with a winning record, Atlanta has played all 8 games Over the Total.

Buffalo (2-1) enters this game coming off an upset 26-16 win over Denver as a 3.5-point underdog. Tyrod Taylor completed 20 of 26 passes for 213 yards and two TD passes while adding another 13 yards on the ground en route to leading his team to 26 points and 372 yards of offense against the outstanding Broncos defense. The Bills have then played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. Additionally, while the Buffalo defense did allow for 366 yards in that game, they have then played 7 of their last 10 games Over the Total after allowing at least 350 yards in their last game. Now the Bills go on the road where they have played 4 straight road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home. Buffalo has also played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record.

At 8:10 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Detroit Tigers (925) and the Minnesota Twins (926) while listing both starting pitchers Matthew Boyd and Kyle Gibson. Detroit (63-96) snapped their nine-game losing streak last night with their 4-1 win in Kansas City. The Tigers have then played 12 of their last 15 Over the Total after allowing two runs or less in their last game. Furthermore, not only has Detroit played 34 of their last 46 games Over the Total after losing three of their last four games but they have played 26 of their last 35 games Over the Total after losing four of their last five contests. This team has not scored more than four runs in eight straight games — but they have then played 19 of their last 25 games Over the Total after failing to score more than four runs in three straight games. And while the Tigers are looking to avenge getting swept at home in a four-game series against this Minnesota team, they have then played 16 of their last 20 games Over the Total when playing with revenge after being swept in at least a three-game series against their opponent. Additionally, Detroit has played 6 of their last 7 opening games to a new series Over the Total. And in their last 4 games against teams with a winning record, the Over is 3-0-1. They give the ball to Boyd who is 6-10 with a 5.12 ERA and 1.54 WHIP this season. The left-hander has been less effective on the road where he owns a 5.86 ERA, 1.870 WHIP and .328 opponent’s batting average in twelve starts as compared to his 4.52 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and .256 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts at home. The Tigers have played 6 of their last 8 home games Over the Total with Boyd on the hill. He faces a red-hot Minnesota offense that is scoring 7.3 Runs-Per-Game in their last three games with a .296 batting average along with a .350 On-Base Percentage and .815 OPS. The Over is 3-1-1 in the Twins’ last 5 games against starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher.

Minnesota (83-76) has lost two in a row with their 5-2 loss in Cleveland yesterday. The Twins have then played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. They counter with Kyle Gibson who is 12-10 with a 5.02 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP this season. The right-hander has not been as effective at homie where he owns a 5.65 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and .308 opponent’s batting average in fifteen starts at home as compared to his 4.34 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and .266 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts on the road. Minnesota has played 9 of their last 10 home games Over the Total with Gibson pitching as the favorite.

At 7:00 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Miami (FL) Hurricanes (105) and the Duke Blue Devils (106). Duke (4-0) returns home still undefeated after they pulled the upset last Saturday with their 27-17 win at North Carolina as a 1.5-point underdog. The Blue Devils have then played 5 of their last 7 games after a straight-up win — and they have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Duke has also played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 20 points in their last contest. The Blue Devils relied on their defense to win that game against the Tar Heels as it was a 61-yard interception returned for a touchdown at the 4:01 mark that provided their last touchdown in that contest. Head coach David Cutliffe appears to have one of his best defensives in his ten years at Duke. 66% of the tackles from last year returned to a unit that is allowing only 15.3 PPG (17th in the FBS) while ranking 11th in the nation in total defense (261.5 total YPG). Moving forward, Duke returns home where they have played 7 of their last 9 games at home Under the Total. And in their last 5 home games against teams with a winning record on the road, the Blue Devils have played 4 of these games Under the Total. Additionally, Duke has played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total in the month of September.

Miami (2-0) looked rusty last week with their 52-30 win over Toledo after not playing for three weeks from the Hurricanes that impacted Florida as a 13.5-point favorite. The Hurricanes have then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread win. The Miami defense did allow 446 yards to the potent Rockets’ offense but expect this unit to play much better this week. Head coach Mark Richt returned eight starters from a group that allowed 18.5 PPG (12th in the FBS) along with ranking 20th in the nation in total defense (345.5 total YPG). 344 of those yards that the Hurricanes surrendered to Toledo were in the air — but they have then played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after allowing at least 280 passing yards in their last game. This will be the first road game for the Hurricanes this year — and that will likely challenge their starting quarterback Malik Rosier who entered the season with just one start under his belt for the Hurricanes. Look for Miami to rely on their running game led by junior Mark Walton who gained 204 yards on the ground last week on just 11 carries. The Under is a decisive 34-16-1 in the Hurricanes’ last 51 games after rushing for at least 200 yards in their last contest. Together, these team trends produce our specific 89-32-1 combined angle for this situation. 25* CFB Friday Night Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Miami (FL) Hurricanes (105) and the Duke Blue Devils (106). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:25 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Chicago Bears (101) and the Green Bay Packers (102). In a game between two divisional rivals both who are banged-up and coming off a game on Sunday that required overtime — and now both playing on a short week — expect this contest to a grind where both opposing coaches look to rise to the challenge by winning the battle at the line of scrimmage in what should result in a lower scoring game. Chicago (1-2) travels to Lambeau Field with confidence after their 23-17 upset win over the Steelers in overtime as a 7-point underdog. The Bears have an underrated defense that limited the potent Pittsburgh offense to just 282 yards of offense. Chicago has now played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total in the month of September. The Bears have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. And in their last 7 games against NFC North opponents, Chicago has played 5 of these games Under the Total.

Green Bay (2-1) comes off a 27-24 comeback win in overtime against the Bengals last week. With the advantage of home field and the better quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, expect the Packers to be content to grind this game out with their confidence that they will win this game by the 4th quarter if that is necessary. Green Bay has played 12 of their last 18 home games Under the Total as the favorite. Lastly, because this Packers team is starting slow by getting outscored in the first-half by -13.3 PPG due to an offense that is scoring just 4.7 PPG in the first-half, the Under is supported by a historical angle that has been 74% effective since 1983. Green Bay has seen at least 51 combined points in each of their last two games — and in games with the Total set in the 42.5 to 49 point range, when one of the teams is getting outscored be at -5.0 PPG in the first-half while seeing at least 50 combined points scored in their last last two games, these games finished Under the Total in 36 of the last 49 situations where these conditions applied. 25* NFL NFC Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Chicago Bears (101) and the Green Bay Packers (102). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:15 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Chicago Cubs (957) and the St. Louis Cardinals (958) listing both starting pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Lance Lynn.

The Cubs have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against an opponent that allowed at least five runs in their last game. Chicago has also played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total on the road — and they have played 28 of their last 39 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home. They give the ball to Hendricks who is 7-5 with a 3.14 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been more effective on the road where he owns a 3.07 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and .235 opponent’s batting average in ten starts as compared to his 3.20 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and .248 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts at home.

The Cardinals have also played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total at home. They counter with Lance Lynn who is 11-8 with a 3.47 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been more effective at home where he owns a 3.02 ERA along with a 1.15 WHIP and .220 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts as compared to his 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and .229 opponent’s batting average in eighteen starts on the road. St. Louis has played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total with Lynn pitching with four days of rest.

At 7:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Nationals (905) and the Philadelphia Phillies (906) listing both starting pitchers Tanner Roark and Mark Leiter. Philadelphia (63-95) has won two of their last three games with their 4-1 victory over the Nationals last night. The Phillies have now seen the Under go 6-2-3 in their last 11 games at home. That was just the second time in their last six games where they managed to score four runs — and they have then played 29 of their last 43 games Under the Total after playing at least four straight games where they scored no more than four runs. Additionally, the Under is 5-0-2 in Philly’s last 7 games Under the Total against NL East opponents. They give the ball to Leiter who is 3-6 with a 4.69 ERA and 1.27 WHIP this season. The deeper sabermetrics call for immediate improvement with both his SIERA and xFIP project an ERA of 4.10 or 4.12 moving forward. The right-hander has been more effective at home where he owns a 2.36 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and .207 opponent’s batting average in eleven starts as compared to his ugly 7.35 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and .281 opponent’s batting average in fifteen starts on the road. The Under is 4-0-1 in the Phillies’ last 5 home games with Leiter on the hill. He should fare well against this Washington team that is scoring just 3.7 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven contests with a .192 batting average, .259 On-Base Percentage and .626 OPS over that span. Furthermore, the Under is 21-7-3 in the Nationals’ last 31 games against right-handed starting pitchers.

Washington (95-62) saw their three-winning streak snapped last night. The Nationals have now played 16 of their last 21 games Under the Total in the month of September. And while the Washington bullpen has an ERA of 1.53 over their last five games, the Nats have then played 21 of their last 30 games Under the Total when their bullpen has an ERA of 2.00 or lower in their last five games.

Washington has played 5 straight road games Under the Total with Roark on the hill. Furthermore, Roark comes off a nice outing where he allowed three earned runs in 7 innings of work at Atlanta — and the Nats have played 9 straight games Under the Total with Roark looking to follow up a Quality Start. He faces a Philadelphia team that has scored only 3.1 Runs-Per-Game in their last seven games — and they are hitting just .207 with a .290 On-Base Percentage and a .606 OPS.

At 9:40 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Francisco Giants (961) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (962) listing both starting pitchers Matt Moore and Robbie Ray. San Francisco (62-95) exploded for nine runs last night in their 9-2 victory over the Diamondbacks in the opening game of this National League West series. The Giants have then played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. San Francisco has also played 5 straight games Over the Total against teams that allowed at least five runs in their last game. And in their last 48 games at night on the road, the Giants have played 30 of these games Over the Total. They give the ball to Moore who is 6-14 with a 5.20 ERA and 1.50 WHIP this season. The left-hander has been particularly ineffective on the road where he has been saddled with a 6.51 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and .306 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts (sixteen games) on the road as compared to his 4.21 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and .260 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts (seventeen games) at home. San Francisco has seen the Over go 7-0-1 in their last 8 road games with Moore facing a team with a winning record. He faces a hot-hitting Diamondbacks team that is scoring 5.9 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with an OPS of .802 over that span.

Arizona (90-67) has seen the Over go 11-4-1 in their last 16 games after scoring two runs or less in their last game. The Over is also 10-4-1 in the Diamondback’s last 15 games at home.

The Over is 19-6-1 in the Diamondbacks’ last 26 home games with Ray on the hill — and that includes Arizona played six of their last seven home games Over the Total with Ray facing a team with a losing record. He faces a Giants’ team that is swinging better bats to close out the season as they are hitting .286 over their last seven games with a .397 On-Base Percentage and a .761 OPS over that span. Lastly, in the last 14 meetings between these two teams in Arizona, the game finished Over the Total in 11 of these contests. 25* MLB National League West Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the San Francisco Giants (961) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (962) listing both starting pitchers Matt Moore and Robbie Ray.

At 8:30 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Cowboys (489) and the Arizona Cardinals (490). Dallas (1-1) was embarrassed last week on the road in Denver where they were spanked by a 42-17 score despite being a 2.5-point favorite. The Cowboys surrendered 380 yards in that contest while seeing their defense be on the field for 33:50 minutes in that game. Ezekiel Elliott rushed the ball only nine times for 8 yards. Overall, Dallas rushed the ball only 14 times for 40 yards with Dak Prescott ending up as their leading rusher with 24 yards. The Cowboys have to get back to running the football behind the bruising offensive line in an attempt to control the clock and impose their will while keeping their defense off the field. Dallas will not be successful in the long run if Prescott attempts 50 passes like he did against the Broncos. As it is, the Cowboys have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a loss by at least two touchdowns. Additionally, Dallas has played 13 of their last 18 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, the Cowboys have played 5 straight games Under the Total after allowing at least 30 points in their last game. And in their last 14 games on the road, Dallas has played 11 of these games Under the Total.

Arizona (1-1) survived a 16-13 game at Indianapolis where they needed overtime to survive with the victory. Now the Cardinals return home to play their first regular season game of the season — and they have played 10 of their last 12 home games Under the Total. The Arizona defense was outstanding last week by limiting the Colts’ offense to just 266 yards of offense. But the Cardinals offense endured a big blow with the wrist injury to David Johnson which placed him on Injured Reserve. Head coach Bruce Arians felt compelled to call up Chris Johnson off the street to bolster his backfield depth — and it is telling that the aging veteran received the most carries for the team last week over Kerwynn Williams and Andre Ellington who have been with the team since Johnson retired from the team a few years ago. Lastly, Arizona has played 6 straight games Under the Total on Monday Night Football. Together, these team trends produce our specific 59-16 combined angle for this situation. 25* NFL Monday Night Football Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Cowboys (489) and the Arizona Cardinals (490).

Boston has also played 5 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. And in their last 51 games at home, the Under is 33-16-2 for the Red Sox — and this includes playing twenty-one of their last thirty home games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. They give the ball to Pomeranz who is 16-5 with a 3.15 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP this season. The left-hander has been more effective at home where he has a 3.11 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and .241 opponent’s batting average in fifteen starts at home as compared to his 3.19 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and .255 opponent’s batting average in fifteen starts on the road. The Red Sox have played 4 of their las 5 games Under the Total with Pomeranz pitching on grass. He should fare well again this Blue Jays team that is hitting only .201 over their last seven games with a .274 On-Base Percentage and .636 OPS. The Under is a decisive 46-19-5 in Toronto’s last 70 games against left-handed starting pitchers. And in their last 27 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher, the Under is 18-8-1.

Toronto (73-63) begins this series coming off a 9-5 win over the Yankees yesterday.

He should find success against this slumping Red Sox team that is hitting only .203 over their last seven games along with a .302 On-Base Percentage and .605 OPS over that span. 25* MLB AL East Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Blue Jays (917) and the Boston Red Sox (918) listing both starting pitchers Brett Anderson and Drew Pomeranz.

At 8:30 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Oakland Raiders (487) and the Washington Redskins (488). Oakland (2-0) looked very good for the second straight week with their dominant 45-20 win over the Jets last Sunday as a 14-point favorite. The Raiders have then played 19 of their last 25 gams Over the Total after a straight-up win. The Over is also 31-13-2 in Oakland’s last 46 games after a point spread victory. And in their last 6 games after a win by at least two touchdowns, the Raiders have played 5 of these games Over the Total. But while the Raiders defense has impressed by only allowing 292 yards last week to the Jets, but concerns remain when going deeper inside the numbers as they are allowing opponents to convert on 50% of their 3rd down plays. Moving forward, Oakland has played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total in the month of September.

Washington (1-1) generated 385 yards of offense themselves last week on the road in Los Angeles en route to their 27-20 win over the Rams as a 3-point underdog.

At 8:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Angels (971) and the Houston Astros (972) listing both starting pitchers Tyler Skaggs and Lance McCullers. Houston (95-59) has won eight of their last nine games with their 6-2 victory in the second game of this series. The Astros have now played 5 straight games Under the Total after a victory. Houston has also seen the Under go 15-5-1 in their last 21 games at home — and that includes playing 6 straight home games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. They give the ball to McCullers making his first start since the beginning of the month after dealing with arm fatigue. He was fine in his last bullpen session and will be motivated to prove himself in this audition to be included in the team’s playoff rotation. For the season, McCullers has a 7-3 record along with a 3.97 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. The deeper sabermetrics are bullish with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 3.39 and 3.15 moving forward. The right-hander has been more effective at home where he owns a 2.87 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and .217 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 4.78 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and .265 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Astros have played 17 of their last 22 home games Under the Total with McCullers on the mound. He should fare well against this LA team that has played 4 straight road games Under the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. This is a slumping Angels’ team playing out the string. Over their last seven games, this team is scoring only 2.1 Runs-Per-Game with a .186 batting average along with a .272 On-Base Percentage and .576 OPS.

Los Angeles (76-78) has lost six in a row after yesterday. The Angels have played 34 of their last 51 games Under the Total with the number set in the 9 to 9.5 range.

At 3:30 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Toledo Rockets (351) and the Miami (FL) Hurricanes (352). Miami (1-0) will likely be rusty on offense as they take the field for the first time since September 2nd after having a couple games cancelled due to Hurricane Irma. The Hurricanes won their opening game against Bethune Cookman by a 41-13 score — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Miami (FL) has also played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a bye week. The strong Hurricanes defense was sloppy against that FCS school as they allowed 350 yards — so expect a focused effort this afternoon. The Under is 5-2-1 in Miami’s last 8 games at home. And in their last 63 games against teams outside the ACC, the Hurricanes have played 44 of these games Under the Total.

Toledo (3-0) came off a barn-burner in which they won by a 54-51 score over Tulsa as a 7-point favorite. The Rockets have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a win at home. Toledo has also played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. And in their last 22 games after allowing at least 40 points, the Rockets have played 17 of these games Under the Total. Toledo did flex their muscles on offense with QB Logan Woodside passing for 458 yards. But the Rockets have played 6 of their last 7 games Unde the Total after passing for at least 280 yards in their last game — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 40 points in their last game. Lastly, Toledo has played 27 of their last 38 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home. 10* CFB Over/Under Situational Special with Under the Total in the game between the Toledo Rockets (351) and the Miami (FL) Hurricanes (352).

At 12:00 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Massachusetts Minutemen (327)/Tennessee Volunteers (328) Over the Total. Tennessee (2-1) looks to bounce-back from their heartbreaking 26-20 loss to Florida that ended on a Hail Mary pass from Florida with the game-tied that featured such terrible defense that it will likely be the signature visual that gets head coach Butch Jones relieved of his duties in early December. But I do expect the Volunteers to beat up on the Minutemen this afternoon. Tennessee did cover the ending +6.5-point spread in that game — and they have then played 4 straight games Over the Total after a point spread win. The Vols have also played 21 of their last 29 games Over the Total in the month of September. Additionally, not only has Tennessee played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total at home but they have played 4 of their last 5 home games Over the Total agains teams with a losing record on the road.

UMass (0-4) lost their fourth straight game this season last Saturday in their 29-21 loss at Temple as a 14.5-point underdog. The Minutemen have then played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a point spread win. UMass does have an intriguing quarterback in junior Andrew Ford who completed over 60% of his passes while throwing 26 TD passes last year after taking in the third game of the season last year. The former 4-star recruit for Virginia Tech completed 23 of 37 passes for 377 yards against the solid Owls defense while tossing two TD passes (and no interceptions). UMass has played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after passing for at least 280 yards in their last game. He should be able to lead the Minutemen offense to score their share of points against this disjointed Vols defense that looked awful against Georgia Tech and allowed too many big plays against Florida. My notes for this Tennessee defense to begin this season: injuries, tackling concerns, missed assignments, misalignments, lack of physicality. Those descriptions all seem pretty apt so far this season which is why Jones is not long for the head coaching job in Knoxville. Moving forward, UMass has played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total on the road. The Minutemen have also played 8 of their last 11 road games Over the Total — and that includes playing three of their last four road games when getting  more than 21 points. Together, these team trends produce our specific 65-21 combined angle for this situation. 25* CFB Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Massachusetts Minutemen (327)/Tennessee Volunteers (328) Over the Total. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:25 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Rams (301) and the San Francisco 49ers (302). In this game between two rebuilding teams in the NFC West, look for both teams to try to win the battle at the line of scrimmage with both teams playing on a short week under the leadership of first-year head coaches trying to re-establish the identity of their respective franchises. Expect both teams to stay committed to running the football to keep their defenses off the field — which also serves to limit the number of offensive plays in this game. Los Angeles (1-1) looks to rebound from a 27-20 loss to Washington on Sunday as a 3-point favorite. The Rams allowed the Skins to rush for 229 yards in that game on 33 carries in a strategy that the 49ers will likely try to replicate behind Carlos Hyde — and Los Angeles has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after allowing at least 150 rushing yards in their last game. The Rams have also played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total against fellow NFC West opponents. Furthermore, the Under is 35-15-1 in Los Angeles’ last 51 games on the road — and that includes playing 9 of their last 10 road games against teams with a losing record at home.

San Francisco (1-1) flexed their muscles on defense last Sunday in a 12-9 loss in Seattle to the Seahawks as a 13.5-point underdog. The 49ers held Seattle to just 312 yards of offense — but they managed just 248 yards of offense themselves. QB Brian Hoyer completed 15 of 27 passes but compiled only 99 yards in Kyle Shanahan’s offense that is no where close to the level of proficiency as it was last year with the Falcons. San Francisco has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. The 49ers have also played 21 of their last 29 games Under the Total after failing to generate at least 250 yards of offense in their last game. Furthermore, San Francisco has played 21 of their last 29 games at home Under the Total. And in their last 10 appearances on Thursday Night Football, San Fran has played 8 of these games Under the Total. 25* NFL NFC West Total of the Month is with Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Rams (301) and the San Francisco 49ers (302). Best of luck for us — Frank.

The right-hander’s deeper sabermetrics do call for immediate improvement in his frontline numbers with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 3.92 and 4.06 moving forward. Lamet has also been more effective at home where he owns a 3.59 ERA along with a 1.04 WHIP and .185 opponent’s batting average in nine starts at home as compared to his 4.73 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and .225 opponent’s batting average in ten starts on the road.

At 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Minnesota Twins (915) and the New York Yankees (916) listing both starting pitchers Jose Berrios and C.C. Sabathia. New York (83-67) won the opening game of this series last night by a 2-1 score. The Yankees have then played 17 of their last 22 games Under the Total after a victory. New York has also payed 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after allowing no more than two runs in their last game. The Yankees have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total at home.

The left-hander has been more effective at home where he has a 1.29 WHIP and .241 opponent’s batting average in ten starts at home as compared to his 1.32 WHIP and .248 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts on the road. The Yankees have played 4 straight home games Under the Total with Sabathia facing a team with a winning record.

Detroit (1-0) opened their season with a 35-23 win over Arizona last week as a 2.5-point underdog last Sunday.

At 8:25 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Texans (101) and the Cincinnati Bengals (102). Cincinnati (0-1) was anemic on offense last week in getting shut out by the Ravens by a 20-0 score. The Bengals managed only 221 yards of offense in that game. Now on a short week, do not expect Cincinnati to find many answers for what ails them on offense. As it is, the Bengals have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a loss by at least two touchdowns. Additionally, Cincinnati has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after failing to gain more than 250 yards in their last game. And in the air last 5 games at home, the Bengals have played 4 of these games Under the Total. Cincinnati has problems on their offensive line which is an ominous sign when now facing this outstanding Texans’ defense. The Bengals did play well on the defensive side of the football last week as they limited the Ravens to just 268 yards of offense.

Houston (0-1) looked dismal themselves last week in a 29-7 loss to the Jaguars. The Texans managed only 203 yards of offense while seeing their quarterbacks sacked ten times in the defeat. Houston has then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, the Texans have played 4 straight games Under the Total after failing to score more than 14 points in their last game. And in their last 6 games in the month of September, the Under is 5-0-1. Together, these team trends produce our specific 40-6-1 combined angle for this situation. Like with Cincinnati last week, Houston’s terrible offensive effort served to obscure a strong effort by the defense that limited Jacksonville to just 280 yards of offense. For these two teams with playoff aspirations, playing on a short week is a very tough deal after the problems both experienced on offense. Expect both teams to play physical and conservative on offense to limit mistakes — and that is a formula for a low-scoring contest with both these teams have very good defenses. 10* NFL Thursday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Houston Texans (101) and the Cincinnati Bengals (102).

At 8:00 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the New Mexico Lobos (103) and the Boise State Broncos (104). Boise State (101) looks to bounce-back from a heartbreaking 47-44 overtime loss at Washington State last week in a game where they had a 31-7 lead with under 11 minutes to go before blowing that lead and eventually succumbing in overtime. This team has quarterback issues with the inconsistent junior QB Brett Rypien benched in their first game before suffering a head injury in the 1st quarter last week against the Huskies. Graduate transfer Montell Cozart finished that game out — but while this 12 of 20 passing for 161 yards with two touchdowns with an additional 72 rushing yards looks dynamic, he completed only 3 of 9 passes to close out the game for just 33 yards which helped Washington State eke that game out. Rypien’s status for this game is questionable which makes things even more difficult for the Broncos on a  short week. Don’t be surprised if the former Kansas QB gets the start tonight. Boise State needs to tighten things up on defense after allowing 455 yards to the Cougars. The Broncos have played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after allowing at least 450 yards in their last game. Additionally, Boise State has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing at least 40 points in their last game. And in their last 14 games at home, the Broncos have played 11 of thee games Under the Total.

New Mexico (1-1) looks to rebound from a 30-28 loss to New Mexico State as a 7.5-point favorite last week. The Lobos gave up 500 yards of offense in that game — but they have then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after allowing at least 450 yards in their last game. Additionally, New Mexico has played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total when playing on turf. Furthermore, not only have the Lobos played 5 of their last 7 road games Under the Total as an underdog but they have played 8 of their last 11 road games Under the Total as an underdog in the 14.5 to 21 point range. Together, these team trends produce our specific 65-19 combined angle for this situation. 25* CFB Thursday Night Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the New Mexico Lobos (103) and the Boise State Broncos (104).

At 10:15 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers (913) and the San Francisco Giants (914) listing both starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Matt Moore. Los Angeles (93-52) snapped their eleven-game losing streak last night with their 5-3 victory in the second game of this series. The Dodgers have played 4 straight games Over the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. Los Angeles has also played 11 of their last 14 road games after losing four of their last five games. And in their last 13 games against teams with a winning percentage below 40%, the Dodgers have seen the Over go 9-3-1. The Dodgers send out Darvish who is 8-12 with a 4.25 ERA and 1.24 WHIP this season with the Rangers and now LA this season. The right-hander is out of form right now since coming off the disabled list — he has allowed 13 earned runs in his last 12 1/3 innings but the Total has dropped to 7.5 with bettors assuming that Darvish is his old self. In his last 5 starts, Darvish’s teams has seen 4 of these games finish Over the Total. He faces a hot-hitting San Francisco team that is scoring 5.6 Runs-Per-Game with a .285 batting average along with a .344 On-Base Percentage and a .783 OPS over that span. The Over is 5-0-1 in the Giants’ last 6 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. The Over is also 4-0-1 in San Fran’s last 5 games against right-handed starting pitchers.

San Francisco (57-90) has seen the Over go 3-0-1 in their last 4 games after a loss. The Giants have also seen the Over go 3-0-1 in their last 4 games after allowing at least five runs in their last game. And in their last 6 home games against teams with a winning record on the road, the Over is 4-1-1. They counter with Matt Moore who is 5-13 with a 5.31 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP this season. The left-hander did allow only two earned runs in 6 2/3 innings of work against the White Sox — and San Fran has then played 12 of their last 16 games Over the Total with Moore looking to follow up a Quality Start. Furthermore, the Giants have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total with Moore facing these Dodgers. He faces a Los Angeles team that scores 5.2 Runs-Per-Game against left-handed starting pitchers — and the they have played 4 straight Overs against left-handed starting pitchers. Furthermore, the Dodgers have played 7 straight games Over the Total against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. Together, these team trends produce our specific 74-12-5 combined angle for this situation. 10* MLB Wednesday Late Show O/U Bailout with Over the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers (913) and the San Francisco Giants (914) listing both starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Matt Moore.

At 8:10 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Diego Padres (929) and the Minnesota Twins (930) listing both starting pitchers Dinelson Lamet and Ervin Santana. San Diego (65-80) was shutout last night by an embarrassing 16-0 score in the opening game of this series. We had the Over last night — and lets ring the bell again as the Padres have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after scoring two runs or less in their last game. The Over is also 18-7-2 in San Diego’s last 27 games on the road. And in their last 25 games in Interleague play against teams with a winning record, the Over is 17-7-1. They give the ball to Lamet who is 7-7 with a 4.32 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP this season. The right-hander has struggled on the road where he owns a 5.16 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and .224 opponent’s batting average in nine starts as compared to his 3.59 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and .185 opponent’s batting average in nine starts at home. The Padres have played 4 of their last 5 road games Over the Total with Lamet facing a team with a winning record.

The Twins are scoring 6.3 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .295 batting average along with a .358 On-Base Percentage and .919 OPS over that span.

Minnesota (75-69) has now played 6 of their last 8 home games Over the Total against teams with a losing record.

Lastly, he faces a Padres team that has seen the Over go 14-4-1 in their last 19 road games against right-handed starting pitchers.

At 8:10 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Diego Padres (979) and the Minnesota Twins (980) listing both starting pitchers Travis Wood and Kyle Gibson. San Diego (65-79) begins this series coming off a 3-2 loss in Arizona on Sunday. The Padres stay on the road where the Over is 17-7-2 in their last 26 games on the road — and this includes playing four straight road games Over the Total against teams with a losing record at home. They give the ball to Wood who is 3-5 with a 6.00 ERA and 1.72 WHIP this season. The left-hander has been hit even harder when on the road where he has a 7.36 ERA in fifteen appearances — and this will be first start away from this season. Wood’s teams have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total with him making the start. Wood’s teams have also played 18 of their last 24 road games Over the Total with him making the start with the Total set in the 8.5 to 10 range.

At 10:20 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Chargers (481) and the Denver Broncos (482). Denver (0-0) had the 4th best defense in the NFL last year by holding their opponents to just 316.1 total YPG. The Broncos defense was even better at home as they held their visitors to last year to only 300.6 total YPG. Denver has played 15 of their last 21 games Under the Total as the favorite. The Under is also 13-6-1 in the Broncos’ last 20 home games — and they have played 5 of their last 7 home games with the Total set in the 42.5 to 45 point range. Furthermore, Denver has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against fellow AFC opponents. And in their last 5 games played on grass, the Broncos have played 4 of these games Under the Total.

Los Angeles (0-0) will be looking for improvement on their defense with the hiring of new defensive coordinator Gus Bradley who will be moving the unit from a 3-4 to a 4-3 scheme. On offense, the Chargers will look to get running back Melvin Gordon going to keep them from obvious passing downs. The Broncos’ Von Miller has terrorized Philip Rivers and the San Diego offensive line with 13 sacks and 15 tackles for loss in his twelve games against them. As it is, the Chargers have played 10 of their last 11 games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range — and this includes four straight Unders when playing on the road as an underdog getting 3 points or less. The Under is also 3-1-1 in San Diego’s last 5 games played on grass. And in their last 4 appearances on Monday Night Football, the Chargers have played all 4 games Under the Total. Together, these team trends produce our specific 58-18-2 combined angle for this situation. 25* NFL AFC West Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Chargers (481) and the Denver Broncos (482).

At 7:10 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the New Orleans Saints (479) and the Minnesota (480). Minnesota (0-0) will be leaning heavily on their defense tonight after they finished 3rd in the NFL by holding their opponents to just 314.9 total YPG last season. The Vikings have played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total in the first two weeks of the season. Minnesota has also played 24 of their last 34 games with the Total set in the 42.5 to 49 point range — and that includes playing four of their last five home games Under the Total with the number set at 45 or higher. Furthermore, the Vikings have played 25 of their last 37 games Under the Total against NFC opponents.

New Orleans (0-0) is not as powerful on offense when they are playing away from their home field in the Superdome. While they scored 29.3 PPG with 426.0 total YPG last season, those numbers dropped a bit on the road to a 27.6 PPG scoring average along with averaging 402.9 total YPG. Perhaps most tellingly, the Saints saw their 6.3 Yards-Per-Play average for the season drop by 1/2 a yard to 5.8 YPP when on the road. Look for both teams to look to establish the run in this game for varying reasons. Running the football helps establish the physical identity that head coach Mike Zimmer wants for his team. New Orleans will want to attempt to establish the run to keep their offense balanced against this stout Vikings’ defense. Minnesota scored only 20.4 PPG last year so the Saints are unlikely to find themselves so far behind that they need to abandon their commitment to the run behind Peterson and Mark Ingram. Furthermore, quarterback Drew Brees has thrown only six touchdown passes in his last five opening weeks to a new season  on the road — and he has a rookie left tackle protecting his blind side. Expect a lower scoring game. 10* NFL Monday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the New Orleans Saints (479) and the Minnesota (480). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 3:00 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the match between West Ham United (81832) and Huddersfield Town (81833). West Ham (0-0-3) remained winless back on August 26th with their 3-0 loss at Newcastle. The Hammers have yet to score a goal this season — and this was after last year’s campaign where they only scored 47 goals for the entire season. Defense was their calling card under manager Slaven Bilic whose tactics kept things afloat despite their difficulties in scoring goals. The team did make a major signing last month when they acquired Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez from Bayer Leverkusen in the German Professional League. Unfortunately for Bilic, the Mexican star will not have many of his key teammates in this match. Midfielder Marko Arnautovic is suspended for this match while midfielders Manuel Lanzini, Andrew Ayew and Edmilison Fernandes are all out with injuries. Forward Andy Carroll is also questionable for this afternoon’s match with a knock of his own leaving this side thin up front. West Ham does return home to play their first match this season — and they need a result. They managed only eight shots against Newcastle and they will likely lean heavily on their good depth in their backfield along with a strong keeper in Joe Hart who is on load with the club from Man City.

Huddersfield (2-1-0) enters this match after their 0-0 draw with Southampton back on August 26th. The Terriers have been one of the surprises of the season so far as they have not lost a match after being one of the three teams to get promoted from the Champions League last season. This franchise are true minnows in the English Premier League with this being their first ever campaign at the top level of English football. And the 4-4-4-1 system of manager David Wagner has helped this team to not yet surrender a goal. But the Terriers have scored only four goals themselves in their three matches. They will be very happy to live with another scoreless draw with this being a road contest for them. Expect a low-scoring match. 25* English Premier League Monday NBC-Sports Total of the Month with Under the Total in the match between West Ham United (81832) and Huddersfield Town (81833). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:30 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the New York Giants (477) and the Dallas Cowboys (478). New York (0-0) may be a team where most of their attention goes to their offense with Eli Manning and Odell Beckham — and now they have added Brandon Marshall to that mix. But it is the defense that should be mentioned when first considering this Giants team. Last year, the Giants were 2nd in the NFL by holding opponents to just 17.8 PPG — and they were 10th in the NFL by allowing only 339.7 total YPG. Defensive coordinator is one of the best in the business — and his return to this franchise where he was the coordinator for their last Super Bowl run which earned him a head coaching stint with the Rams — has helped make this an elite defense once again. In particular, the Giants boast two of the best safeties in the league Landon Collins and Darian Thompson. New York has played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total against NFC opponents. The Giants have also played 4 straight games Under the Total when playing on turf. Furthermore, New York has played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total on the road — and they have played 5 of their last 6 road games Under the Total when the number at 45.5 or higher. Additionally, the Giants have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total as an underdog in the 3.5 to 9.5 point range.

Dallas (0-0) had an underrated defense last year as well. The Cowboys were 5th in the NFL by allowing only 19.1 PPG as they were bolstered by the best run defense in the NFL that held opponents to just 83.5 rushing YPG. Dallas has played 3 of their last 4 home games Under the Total with the number set in the 45.5 to 49 point range. Together, these team trends produce our 31-8 combined angle for this situation. These two teams last played on December 11th in what resulted in what was a 10-7 win for the Giants. Expect another low scoring game where both teams challenge each other at the line of scrimmage. Lastly, the Under is supported by an empirical angle that has been 68% effective since 1983. In games with the Total set in the 42.5 to 49 point range, when at least one of these teams had a run defense that did not allow more than 90 rushing YPG, these games then finished Under the Total in 58 of the last 95 situations where these conditions applied. 7 PM EST UPDATE: Wide receiver Odell Beckham has been ruled out for this game which takes the best offensive weapon away from Manning and allow the Cowboys to double-team Marshall which is good news for the Under. 25* NFL NFC East Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the New York Giants (477) and the Dallas Cowboys (478). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Baltimore Orioles (967) and the Cleveland Indians (968) listing both starting pitchers Jeremy Hellickson and Trevor Bauer. Cleveland (86-56) looks to conclude this series on a winning note after their 4-2 win over the Orioles yesterday. The Indians did not commit an error in that game for the fourth straight contest — and they have then played 31 of their last 48 games Under the Total after playing at least two straight games without an error. Additionally, Cleveland has played 4 of their last 5 home games Under the Total — and they have played a decisive 30 of their last 48 home games Under the Total when priced with the money-line at least at -150. They give the ball to Bauer who is 15-8 with a 4.39 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP this season. The deeper sabermetrics call for immediate improvement with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 3.90 and 3.73 moving forward. Bauer has been seeing better numbers this summer as he boasts a 2.50 ERA over his last nine starts. Furthermore, he has been better a home where he has a 4.01 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in fourteen starts this year as compared to his 4.88 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in thirteen starts on the road. The Under is 5-2-1 in Cleveland’s last 8 home games with Bauer on the mound. He faces a Baltimore team that is scoring only 3.0 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .220 batting average along with a .264 On-Base Percentage and a .630 OPS over that span. The Under is also 20-7-1 in the Orioles’ last 28 games against right-handed starting pitchers.

Baltimore (71-71) has lost five of their last seven games — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a loss. The Under is also 16-3-2 in the Orioles’ lat 21 games after scoring two runs or less in their last contest. And in their last 4 road games against teams with a winning record at home, the game finished Under the Total all 4 times. They counter with Jeremy Hellickson who is 8-8 with a 5.26 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been a bit a better on the road where he has a 4.60 ERA along with a good 1.14 WHIP in thirteen starts as compared to his 5.91 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in fourteen starts at home. ,b>Hellickson’s teams have played 19 of their last 28 games Under the Total with the Total set in the 8.5 to 10 range. He faces an Indians team that has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. Lastly, the Under is 16-7-1 in the Indians’ last 24 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. 10* MLB Sunday Night Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Baltimore Orioles (967) and the Cleveland Indians (968) listing both starting pitchers Jeremy Hellickson and Trevor Bauer.

At 3:05 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New York Yankees (973) and the Texas Rangers (974) listing both starting pitchers Jordan Montgomery and A.J. Griffin. New York (76-65) has won five of their last seven games with their 3-1 win over the Rangers yesterday. The Yankees have then played 4 straight games Over the Total after a win. New York has also played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total on the road. They give the ball to Montgomery who is 7-7 with a 4.14 ERA and 1.25 WHIP this season. The left-hander has been less effective on the road where he owns a 4.20 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and .243 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts as compared to his 4.08 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and .240 opponent’s batting average in twelve starts at home. The Yankees have played 6 of their last 8 road games Over the Total with Montgomery on the mound. He faces a red-hot Rangers team that is scoring 6.7 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .270 batting average along with a .359 On-Base Percentage and .678 OPS during that span. Furthermore, the Over is 5-0-1 in Texas’ last 6 games against left-handed starting pitchers.

Texas (71-70) has played 7 straight games Over the Total after a loss. The Rangers have also played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after scoring two runs or less in their last game. Furthermore, the Over is a decisive 34-16-5 in Texas’ last 55 home games against teams with a winning record. They counter with A.J. Griffin who is 6-5 with a 5.09 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP this season. The deeper sabermetrics for Griffin call for things to be even worse with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 5.21 and 5.90 moving forward. Additionally, Griffin has not been as effective at home where he has been saddled with a 5.25 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and .274 opponent’s batting average in five starts as compared to his 5.00 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and .225 opponent’s batting average in nine starts on the road. The Over is 4-1-1 in the Rangers’ last 6 games at home with Griffin on the hill. He faces a Yankees team that is scoring 6.3 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven contests with a .285 batting average along with a .358 On-Base Percentage and an OPS of .833. Lastly, New York has played 5 of their last 6 road games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers.

At 1:00 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers (469) and the Cleveland Browns (470). Pittsburgh (0-0) looks to have one of the most dynamic offenses in the AFC this season under the veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. But the Steelers tend to keep the play-calling pretty conservative when they are playing on the road. Pittsburgh has played 19 of their last 26 road games Under the Total. The Steelers have also played 21 of their last 31 road games Under the Total with the Total set at 45.5 or higher. Furthermore, the Under is 11-3-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 15 games when playing a fellow AFC North opponent. These lower scoring games certainly translate into this rivalry as these two teams have played 4 of their last 5 meetings Under the Total. Additionally, these two teams have played 4 straight games Under the Total when playing in Cleveland.

Cleveland (0-0) wants to employ a power rushing game that takes the pressure off rookie quarterback Deshone Kizer. This Browns team does feel that there defense can be the strength of their team despite the cost-cutting measure to cut cornerback Joe Haden (whom the Steelers gobbled up to improve their secondary). If and when Cleveland falls behind in this game, head coach Hue Jackson will likely continue to stay committed to running the football to attempt to impose their physicality against their AFC North rivals while also burning time off the clock. Jackson does not want his rookie QB taking over 40 pass attempts in this game. The ankle injury to Myles Garrett will not help things for this contest. But this team has played 11 of their last 16 games Under the Total against AFC North foes. Furthermore, Cleveland has played 5 straight home games Under the Total — and they have played 10 of their last 13 home games Under the Total as an underdog getting 7.5 to 10 points. And in their last 8 home games with the Total set in then 42.5 to 49 point range, the game has finished Under the Total 6 times. Together, these team trends produce our specific 91-31-1 combined angle for this situation. 10* NFL Over/Under Situational Special with Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers (469) and the Cleveland Browns (470).

At 8:30 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Stanford Cardinal (387) and the USC Trojans (388). USC (1-0) survived a scare last week as they pulled away from Western Michigan in the 4th quarter to win by a 49-31 score. The Trojans defense did not play as poorly as that final score would suggest as the Broncos managed only 357 yards in that contest. USC returns seven starters from a unit that held seven opponents last year to their season low in total yardage. The Trojans have played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. And while USC passed for 289 yards in that game, they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after passing for at least 280 yards in their last game. Furthermore, the Trojans held Western Michigan to just 94 passing yards — and they have then seen the Under go 25-8-1 in their last 34 games after allowing 170 or fewer passing yards in their last contest. And in their last 5 games at home, USC has played 4 of these games Under the Total.

Stanford (1-0) held Rice to just 241 yards of offense in their 62-7 win over the Owls two Saturdays ago in that game played in Australia. The Cardinal has then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 20 points in their last game. Stanford has also played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total in the month of September. The Cardinal did generate 369 passing yards in that victory — and they have then played 11 of their last 14 games after passing for ate last 280 yards in their last contest. Together, these team trends produce our specific 64-20-1 combined angle for this situation. 10* CFB Stanford-USC Fox-TV O/U Special with Under the Total in the game between the Stanford Cardinal (387) and the USC Trojans (388).

At 8:30 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Kansas City Chiefs (451) and the New England Patriots (452). Kansas City (0-0) was just 20th in the NFL last season by averaging 343.0 total YPG. Yet this team was able to generate more points than that level of production would suggest as they ranked 13th in the league by scoring 24.3 PPG. But this is an offense under QB Alex Smith that was middling at best in both the pass where they averaged just 233.8 passing YPG (19th in the NFL) and only 109.2 rushing YPG (15th in the NFL). This is a team that seems to have taken a step back then this season with the decision to cut wide receiver Jeremy Maclin via voicemail and then running back Spencer Ware suffered a season-ending knee injury. The defense remains stout after finishing in the Top-Ten in points allowed for the fourth straight season by allowing just 19.4 PPG which was 7th best in the NFL. The Chiefs secondary is elite with strong safety Eric Berry and a true shutdown cornerback in Marcus Peters anchoring a great group that can play man-to-man and afford an extra defender in the box. This defensive group will also be buoyed by the return of linebackers Justin Houston and Derrick Johnson after they suffered season-ending injuries before the playoffs last season. Kansas City has played 13 of their last 21 games Under the Total with the number set in the 42.5 to 49 point range. The Chiefs have also played 12 of their last 18 road games Under the Total as an underdog getting 7.5 to 10 points. And in head coach Andy Reid’s last 6 road games that he has coached as an underdog in the 7.5 to 10 point range, those games finished Under the Total 5 times.

New England (0-0) seems to have upgraded what was the best scoring defense in the league last year that held opponents to just 15.6 PPG. This team added depth in their front seven with the additions of defensive tackle Lawrence Guy and linebacker David Harris. But the biggest move they made was to sign cornerback Stephon Gilmore to a $13 million dollar/year deal. Not only does this give their secondary two outstanding corners but Gilmore’s size at 6’1 helps offset Malcolm Butler who is great but is a little shorter at 5’11. This team also added a bunch of new pieces on offense — but I expect the Patriots to give a heavy dose to their new running back Mike Gillislee who they signed as a free agent from Buffalo. The Chiefs were last in the NFL last season against runs up the middle — and 74% of their opponents rushing attempts were right up the gut of their defense. Gillislee is a bruising back who offers the Patriots’ offense this propensity of attack — and a commitment to run the ball up the middle will burn time off the clock and shorten the game. New England has played 4 of their last 5 opening games to a new season Under the Total. Lastly, because the Patriots only allowed 88.6 rushing YPG last season, the Under is supported by a historical angle that has been 73% effective since 1983. In games between Conference opponents, when one team did not allow more than 90 rushing YPG the previous season, these games finished Under the Total in 43 of the last 59 situations where these conditions applied. 25* NFL Thursday Night Football Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the the Kansas City Chiefs (451) and the New England Patriots (452).

At 7:10 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Nationals (905) and the Miami Marlins (906) listing both starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg and Odrisamer Despaigne. Washington (83-54) has won two of their last three games with their 7-2 victory over the Marlins in the opening game of this series. The Nationals have then seen the Under go 9-1-2 in their last 12 games after allowing two runs or less in their last game. The Under is also 16-5-3 in Washington’s last 24 games on the road — and that includes going 8-1-3 in their last 12 road games against teams with a winning record at home. They give the ball to Strasburg who is 11-4 with a 2.90 ERA and 1.07 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been more effective on the road where he owns a 2.23 ERA along with a 1.03 WHIP and .192 opponent’s batting average in twelve starts as compared to his 3.60 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and .232 opponent’s batting average in eleven starts at home. The Nationals have played 13 of their last 19 road games Under the Total with Strasburg on the mound. He faces a slumping Miami team that is scoring 2.7 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .217 opponent’s batting average along with a .279 On-Base Percentage and .609 OPS over that span. Additionally, the Under is 7-1-1 in the Marlins’ last 9 home games against right-handed starting pitchers.

Miami (67-70) has seen the Under go 3-1-1 in their last 5 games after a loss. The Under is also 20-9-2 in their last 31 games after allowing at least five runs in their last game. They counter with Odrisamer Despaigne who is 0-2 with a 4.13 ERA and 1.41 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been much better at home where he has a 2.25 ERA along with a 1.06 WHIP and .207 opponent’s batting average in seven games with two starts as compared to his 6.57 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and .292 opponent’s batting average in five games with one start on the road. The Under is 5-1-1 in the Marlins’ last 7 games at home. Lastly, Despaigne faces a cold Nationals team that is scoring only 3.9 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .223 batting average along with a .302 On-Base Percentage and .679 OPS over that span. 10* MLB Tuesday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Washington Nationals (905) and the Miami Marlins (906) listing both starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg and Odrisamer Despaigne.

At 3:10 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the San Francisco Giants (955) and the Colorado Rockies (956) listing both starting pitchers Chris Stratton and Chad Bettis. Colorado (72-64) has lost four in a row after their 5-1 loss to Arizona yesterday. The Rockies have then seen the Under go 23-8-1 in their last 32 games after a loss. And despite the reputation of their hitter-friendly Coors Field, Colorado has played 8 of their last 9 games at home Under the Total. They give the ball to Bettis who is 0-2 with a 4.88 ERA and 1.33 WHIP this season in four starts. Three of those starts have been at home where he has a 3.79 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. Last season, Bettis had a 4.44 ERA along with a 1.37 WHIP at home which was much better than his 5.06 ERA and .45 WHIP when on the road. The Rockies have played 7 straight home games Under the Total with Bettis on the hill. He faces a cold-hitting San Francisco team that is scoring just 2.7 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven contests along with a .217 batting average along with a .300 On-Base Percentage and .674 OPS over that span. Furthermore, the Giants have played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total against right-handed starting pitchers.

The Under is also 6-1-1 in San Francisco’s last 8 road games against teams with a winning record. They counter with Chris Stratton who is 2-3 with a 3.82 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been much better on the road where he owns a 2.82 ERA along with a 1.21 WHIP and .192 opponent’s batting average in four starts as compared to his 5.28 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and .311 opponent’s batting average in four starts at home. He faces a slumping Rockies offense that is scoring only 3.3 Runs-Per-Game in their last seven games with a .231 batting average along with a .231 batting average, .320 On-Base Percentage and .652 OPS over that span. Colorado has played 17 of their last 22 games Under the Total against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher.

UCLA (0-0) did lose NFL talent on all three levels of their defensive last season — but they underachieved last season by allowing 27.5 PPG along with 382 total YPG. Less may be more collectively this season under defensive coordinator Tom Bradley. The Bruins have played 15 of their last 24 home games Under the Total as a favorite laying 3.5 to 7 points. Lastly, UCLA has seen the Under go 5-2-1 in their last 8 games in the month of September.

At 7:15 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Angels (977) and the Texas Rangers (978) listing both starting pitchers Ricky Nolasco and A.J. Griffin. Texas (67-67) has won three of their last four games with their 10-9 victory over the Angels in the opening game of this series. The Rangers have then played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. Texas has now played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total at home. And in their last 51 home games against teams with a winning record, the Over is 32-15-4. They give the ball to Griffin who is 6-5 with a 5.26 ERA and 1.33 WHIP this season. The right-hander has not been as effective at home where he has been saddled with a 5.89 ERA along with a 1.75 WHIP and .297 opponent’s batting average in four starts as compared to his 5.00 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and .225 opponent’s batting average in nine starts on the road. The Rangers have played 4 of their last 5 home games Over the Total with Griffin on the hill. He faces a hot-hitting LA team that is scoring 6.1 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .277 batting average along with a .348 On-Base Percentage and a .789 OPS over that span. The Angels have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers.

Los Angeles (69-66) saw their three-game winning streak snapped last night. The Angels have now played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total against fellow AL West opponents. Los Angeles has also played a decisive 84 of their last 139 games on the road with the Total set at 10 or higher. They counter with Ricky Nolasco who is 6-12 with a 5.09 ERA and 1.45 WHIP this season. The right-hander has particularly struggled on the road where he has been saddled with a 5.20 ERA along with a 1.53 WHIP and .304 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts as compared to his 4.98 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and .274 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts at home. The Over is 6-0-1 in the Angels’ last 7 games with Nolasco pitching after a game where they scored at least five runs. He faces a Texas team that is scoring 5.4 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games. Lastly, the Rangers have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. 10* MLB LA Angels-Texas Fox Sports 1 O/U Special with Over the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Angels (977) and the Texas Rangers (978) listing both starting pitchers Ricky Nolasco and A.J. Griffin. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:10 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Nationals (907) and the Milwaukee Brewers (908) listing both starting pitchers Tanner Roark and Jimmy Nelson. Milwaukee (70-64) won the opening game of this series last night with their 6-3 victory over the Nationals. The Brewers have then seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a victory. The Under is also 4-0-1 in Milwaukee’s last 5 games after scoring at least five runs in their last game. Additionally, the Under is 5-1-1 in the Brewers’ last 7 games after a victory. They give the ball to Nelson who is 10-6 with a 3.75 ERA and 127 WHIP this season. The deeper sabermetrics are very encouraging for Nelson with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 3.45 and 3.17 moving forward. The left-hander has been a bit better at home where he owns a 3.39 ERA in fourteen starts as compared to his 4.16 ERA in thirteen starts on the road. Milwaukee has played 9 of their last 11 home games Under the Total with Nelson facing a team with a winning record. He should fare well against this Washington team that hits just .250 with a .315 On-Base Percentage and .740 OPS on the road. Additionally, the Nationals have seen the Under go 4-0-2 in their last 6 road games against left-handed starting pitchers — and the team is still without Bryce Harper who remains on the shelf with his knee injury.

Washington (81-52) saw their four-game winning snapped last night. Moving forward, the Under is 5-1-2 in the Nationals’ last 8 games on the road. Washington has also played 23 of their last 32 games Under the Total as an underdog in the +125 to +175 price range. They counter with Tanner Roark who is 11-8 with a 4.63 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP this season. The sabermetrics are bullish here as well with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 4.45 and 4.28 respectively. Roark has been more effective on the road where he has a 4.10 ERA and .236 opponent’s batting average in twelve starts as compared to his 5.07 ERA and .266 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts (fourteen games) at home. The Nationals have played 9 of their last 10 road games Under the Total with Roark facing a team with a winning record. He should thrive against this Milwaukee team that is scoring only 3.3 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a .232 batting average along with a .283 On-Base Percentage and .656 OPS over that span. The Under is a decisive 36-14-3 in the Brewers’ last 53 games against right-handed starting pitchers. Lastly, Milwaukee has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. Together, these team trends produce our specific 102-29-10 combined angle for this situation. 10* MLB Friday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Washington Nationals (907) and the Milwaukee Brewers (908) listing both starting pitchers Tanner Roark and Jimmy Nelson.

At 7:00 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Philadelphia Eagles (105) and the New York Jets (106). Philadelphia (2-1) looks to build off their 38-31 victory over the Dolphins last Thursday. Despite all those points, the Eagles defense played pretty well in holding the Dolphins to just 302 yards of offense. With likely backup QB Nick Foles still dealing with an injury, expect the uninspiring Mitch McGloin to handle the quarterbacking duties tonight with Carson Wentz not risking taking the field and getting injured. The starting offensive line for the Eagles will not be playing in this game either which will make things more difficult for the former Penn State QB. As it is, Philadelphia has played 5 straight preseason games under the leadership of head coach Doug Pederson Under the Total with the number in the 35.5-42 point range. The Eagles have also played 4 of their last 6 preseason games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3 point range.

New York (1-2) closes out their preseason after a 33-31 loss against the Giants last week. The Jets’ defense did not play nearly as bad as that final score suggests as they limited the Giants to just 331 yards of offense. Two interceptions returned for touchdowns accounted for 14 of the Giants’ 33 points. New York is allowing only 17.0 PPG in their preseason contests — but they are scoring only 14.7 PPG. With the injury to Bryce Petty last week who has at times been the most effective QB for this team this month, expect the majority of the snaps to go to backup Christian Hackenberg with the veteran Josh McCown not risking injury before he begins the year as head coach Todd Bowles starter. The Jets have played their last two preseason games under Bowles command Under the Total after a loss in the preseason by 6 points or less. And in their last 5 preseason games as the home team under Bowles, 4 of these contests finished Under the Total. Lastly, because the Jets trailed the Giants by a 29-3 score at halftime last week, the Under is supported by an empirical angle that has been 77% effective since 1993. In preseason games involving a team that allowed at least 30 points in their last preseason game (Philadelphia) now facing a team that trailed by at least two touchdowns in their last preseason game (NY Jets), these games finished Under the Total in 26 of the last 34 situations where these conditions applied. 25* NFLx NFL Preseason Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Philadelphia Eagles (105) and the New York Jets (106). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:00 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Cincinnati Bengals (107) and the Indianapolis Colts (108). Indianapolis (1-2) enters this final preseason game after a 19-15 win at Pittsburgh. The Colts return home for their last exhibition game — and they have played 6 of their last 8 preseason games after playing a preseason game on the road. The good feelings from that victory are likely to be short with this franchise seemingly in deep trouble given the state of Andrew Luck. The quarterback still does not seem to have any time-table as to when he will return to the field this season. In the short run, backup Scott Tolzien is likely the Week One starter in the regular season. Because of that, Tolzien will likely not play tonight which means the snaps will be shared by Stephen Morris and Philip Walker. Neither QB has taken a snap in a regular season game. The Colts will likely rely on their ground game in this contest — but they have yet to rush for even 70 yards in their first three preseason games. Indianapolis has then played 5 of their last 6 preseason games under head coach Chuck Pagano after failing to rush for at least 99 yards in two straight preseason games.

Cincinnati (1-2) enters their final preseason game coming off a 23-17 loss at Washington last Sunday. Don’t blame the defense for that loss as they held the Skins to just 255 yards of offense. The offense only accounted for 10 points in that game with the Bengals defense scoring a touchdown from an interception return. Moving forward, the Bengals have played 5 of their last 6 preseason games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage in the 25-40% in the preseason. Furthermore, while the Colts are allowing their preseason opponents to complete 65.8% of their passes, Cincinnati has played 9 of their last 11 preseason games Under the Total against teams that are allowing their opponents to complete at least 61% of their passes in the preseason. Lastly, while the Colts have allowed their last two preseason opponents to complete 25 of 38 and 31 of 47 passes, that helps place the Under into an empirical angle that has been 77% effective over the last five seasons. In games involving a team that is allowing their opponents to complete at least 60% of their passes and have allowed each of their last two opponents to complete at least 63% of their passes, these games have finished Under the Total in 20 of the last 26 situations where these conditions applied. 10* NFLx Over/Under Situational Special with Under the Total in the game between the Cincinnati Bengals (107) and the Indianapolis Colts (108).

At 9:10 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Francisco Giants (911) and the San Diego Padres (912) listing both starting pitchers Ty Blach and Travis Wood. San Diego (58-74) snapped their four-game losing streak last night with their 6-3 win over the Giants. The Padres have then seen the Over go 13-4-1 in their last 18 games after scoring at least five runs in their last game. The Over is also 19-7-1 in San Diego’s last 27 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. They give the ball to Wood who is 3-4 with a 6.67 ERA and 1.63 WHIP this season. Since being picked up by the Padres after being waived by the Royals, the left-hander has struggled at home where he has a 1.85 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .355 as opposed to his more mild 1.77 WHIP and .283 opponent’s batting average on the road. Wood’s teams have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total when he is making the start. He faces a Giants team that has played 4 straight games Over the Total against left-handed starting pitchers.

San Francisco (53-81) has lost four of their last five games after their setback last night. The Over is 14-5-1 in the Giants’ last 20 games after allowing at least five runs in their last game. San Francisco has also played 8 of their last 10 road games Over the Total against teams with a losing record. They counter with Ty Blach who is 8-10 with a 4.68 ERA and 1.35 WHIP this season. The left-hander has struggled on the road where he has a 5.64 ERA along with a 1.47 WHIP and .312 opponent’s batting average in nine starts (thirteen games) as compared to his 4.01 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and .269 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts (sixteen games) at home. Additionally, the Giants have played 7 of their last 9 with Blach facing a team with a losing record. He faces a San Diego team that has seen the Over go 13-4-1 in their last 18 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. The Over is also 3-1-1 in the Padres’ last 5 games against left-handed starting pitchers. Lastly, in the last 6 meetings between these two teams, the game finished Over the Total 5 times. 25* MLB National League West Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the San Francisco Giants (911) and the San Diego Padres (912) listing both starting pitchers Ty Blach and Travis Wood.

At 7:10 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New York Mets (955) and the Cincinnati Reds (956) listing both starting pitchers Chris Flexen and Sal Romano. New York (57-73) begins this series after losing in Washington on Sunday by a 5-4 score. The Mets’ bullpen has worked 9 innings of work over their last two games — and they have then played 20 of their last 27 games Over the Total when their bullpen has logged in at least 9 innings of work over their last two games. Additionally, New York has played 4 of their last 4 road games Over the Total — and they have played 8 of their last 11 road games Over the Total against teams with a losing record. They give the ball to Flexen who is 3-2 with a 5.79 ERA and 1.93 WHIP this season. The deeper sabermetrics call for things to be even worse for the right-hander given his SIERA and xFIP of 6.33 and 6.57 this season. Flexen has not been as effective on the road where he has an 8.18 ERA along with a 2.55 WHIP and .396 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 4.24 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and .242 opponent’s batting average at home. He faces a Reds team that has played 11 of their last 15 games Over the Total against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher.

Cincinnati (55-76) has played 11 of their last 14 games Over the Total against teams that allowed at least five runs in their last game. The Reds look to bounce-back from a 5-2 loss to the Pirates on Sunday. The Over is 17-6-3 in the Mets’ last 26 games against teams who did not score more than two runs in their last game. Cincinnati has played 11 of their last 15 games Over the Total after a loss. The Reds have also hit just .201 over their last five games but they have played 24 of their last 34 games Over the Total after hitting less than .275 over their last five contests. They counter with Sal Romano who is 3-5 with a 4.96 ERA and 1.54 WHIP this year. Romano has particularly struggled at home where he has been saddled with a 5.54 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in five starts as compared to his 4.39 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in five starts on the road. He faces a Mets team that has plated 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher.

At 7:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Indians (909) and the New York Yankees (910) listing both starting pitchers Corey Kluber and Luis Severino. New York (70-59) has won two straight games with their 10-1 win over Seattle yesterday. The Yankees have then played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after a victory. New York has also played 7 straight games Over the Total after a game where they scored at least nine runs. And while the Yankees have not allowed more than three runs in each of their last three games, they have then played 10 of their last 12 games Over the Total after not allowing more than three runs in at least two straight games. They give the ball to Severino who is 11-5 with a 3.10 ERA and 1.10 WHIP this season. The right-hander has not been as effective in eleven starts at home where he owns a 4.14 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and .223 opponents batting average as compared to his nasty 2.32 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and .201 opponent’s batting average in fourteen starts on the road. The Yankees have played 5 of their last 6 home games Over the Total with Severino on the hill. He faces a Cleveland team scoring 5.7 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven contests with a .272 batting average along with a .352 On-Base Percentage and .825 OPS over that san. Additionally, the Indians have seen the Over go 4-0-1 in their last 5 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower.

Cleveland (73-56) has won four straight games with their 12-0 win over the Royals yesterday.

At 7:07 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Boston Red Sox (913) and the Toronto Blue Jays (914) listing both starting pitchers Drew Pomeranz and Marcus Stroman. Boston (73-57) opens this game coming off a 2-1 loss to Baltimore yesterday. The Red So have then played 17 of their last 24 games Under the Total after losing four or five of their last six games. Boston has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams with a losing record. They give the ball to Pomeranz who is 13-4 with a 3.18 ERA and 1.34 WHIP this season. The left-hander has been better on the road where he has a 3.09 ERA in twelve starts as compared to his 3.26 ERA in thirteen starts on the road. Furthermore, the Under is 15-6-1 in the Red Sox’s last 22 games with Pomeranz pitching on four days of rest. He faces a Toronto team that struggles against left-handed pitching. The Blue Jays are scoring only 3.6 Runs-Per-Game with a .232 batting average along with a .306 On-Base Percentage and .681 OPS. The Under is 41-17-4 in their last 62 games against left-handed starting pitchers.

At 8:00 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Francisco 49ers (281) and the Minnesota Vikings (282). Minnesota (1-1) enters this preseason game coming off a 20-13 loss at Seattle last Friday. The Vikings have played their last 2 preseason games Over the Total after failing to score at least 14 points in their last preseason game. Both of Minnesota’s preseason games this season have finished Under the Total — but this franchise has then played 10 of their last 15 preseason games Over the Total after playing two straight Unders in the preseason. Additionally, the Vikings have played 13 of their last 22 preseason games Over the Total after a loss on the road. And in their last 6 preseason games under head coach Mike Zimmer against fellow NFC opponents, Minnesota has played 4 of these games Over the Total.

San Francisco (1-1) managed only 243 yards of offense last week in their 33-14 loss to Denver last Saturday. Expect the 49ers to bounce-back with a much better effort on offense under new head coach Kyle Shanahan whose specialty is the offensive side of the football. The 49ers have responded in their previous two losses at home in the preseason by double-digits by playing 2 straight Overs. San Francisco has also played 7 of their last 9 road games Over the Total. Furthermore, the 49ers have played 5 straight games Over the Total when playing on turf. Lastly, the Over is supported by an empirical angle that has been 62% effective over the last ten seasons.

At 10:00 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Rice Owls (297) and the Stanford Cardinal (298). Stanford (0-0) should be loaded for bear once again on defense this season as they return eight starters from a 10-3 team that won their last six games including beating North Carolina (and future Chicago Bears’ Hall of Fame quarterback Mitch Trubisky?) by a 25-23 score in the Sun Bowl. The Cardinal held their opponents to just 20.0 PPG and only 368 YPG. Stanford was 10th in the FBS with the most 3-and-outs on defense last year. Redshirt junior Keller Chryst returns as the starting quarterback but he missed all of spring ball from the injury he sistine in the Sun Bowl. Expect head coach David Shaw to rely on his defense along with a physical ground game with this team struggling to effectively execute the forward pass. The Cardinal has played 7 of their last 9 games in the first two weeks of the season Under the Total. Stanford has also played 21 of their last 32 games Under the Total with the number set in the 42.5 to 56 point range.

Rice (0-0) returns eight starters on a totally revamped defense under new defensive coordinator Brian Stewart. With the Owls moving from a 4-2-5 to a 3-4 formation with multiple fronts as options, Stewart should have the advantage of surprise in this opening game. The Rice defense was horrific last season but injuries played a role in that so this group should be improved. They certainly will be daring the Cardinal to move the ball via the pass. On offense, head coach David Bailiff has named redshirt freshman Sam Glaesmann his starter eleven days ago. But his announcement was less than glowing: "We tried to extend it (the competition at QB) as long as we could and we really hoped one of them would just run away with it; it never really happened … but you've got to start allotting reps this late in the game." That is not exactly a ringing endorsement — and Bailiff has indicated that sophomore Jackson Tyner who started against Stanford last season will get reps in this game. Expect Rice to run the ball behind an offensive line that returned all five of their starters — but that will make the Owls one-dimensional as well in this opening game. Rice has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total when playing on a neutral field. Lastly, this game is being played on a neutral field in Sydney, Australia — and the Under is supported by an empirical angle that has been 81% effective over the last five seasons. In games with the Total set in the 49.5 to 56 point range in the first month of the season between two teams that both returned at least eight starters, these games finished Under the Total in 34 of the last 42 situations where these conditions applied. 25* CFB Total of the Month Under the Total in the game between the Rice Owls (297) and the Stanford Cardinal (298). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 12:30 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between Manchester United (84578) and Leicester City (84577). Manchester United (2-0-0) has been the toast of the new English Premier League season so far this year after winning their second straight game by a 4-0 score. This side looks dominant — particularly on offense after scoring eight goals so far this season. The $100 million acquisition of forward Romelu Lukaku looks to be just what the doctor ordered as he has given the team an active and fluid attacker that better fits the team as compared to their big pickup last year of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. But the key newcomer for this team is midfielder Nemanja Matic who played a key role for the champions Chelsea last season. Matic reunites with manager Jose Mouinho from his time in Chelsea. Not only does he offer the side a defensive-minded controlling midfielder but his presence on the pitch frees up Paul Pogba to become more of an attacker from the middle of the field. It is the chemistry between Pogba and Lukaku that makes the Red Devils very dangerous this season. Man United should score at least twice on their home field this afternoon.

Leicester City (1-0-1) has looked good themselves in this bounce-back season after suffering a big (and seemingly inevitable) letdown from their 2015 winning campaign. After a game effort at Arsenal that ended in a 4-3 loss in their opening match, the Foxes bounced back last week with a solid 2-0 victory over newby Brighton. Leicester City has scored six goals so far this season while conceding three. They have one of the best young strikers in the game in Jamie Vardy. More importantly for this team, star midfielder Riyad Mahrez seems to back in form and good spirits. Mahrez has been asking for a transfer but he seemed to be in 2015 form last week against Brighton. Injuries hurt the Foxes last year but this team is fit right now. Look for Leicester to score at least once and keep this match competitive. A minimum of three goals should be scored with a very good chance of us hitting four or more combined goals. 25* EPL Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between Manchester United (84578) and Leicester City (84577).
