05-07-17 | Cavs v. Raptors UNDER 213 | 109-102 | Win | 100 | 3 h 16 m | Show | |
At 3:30 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (511) and the Toronto Raptors (512). Toronto (55-36) shot just 43.7% from the field on Friday in their 115-94 loss to the Cavaliers as a 3-point underdog in Game Three of this series. These Raptors are clearly missing their floor general Kyle Lowry who was not able to play in that game after spraining his ankle earlier in this series. Lowry tried to work out that ankle to play on Friday but actually made things worse for himself in that effort. He has since declared that he is unlikely to play this afternoon which is devastating news for the Raptors offense. Toronto significantly improved their defensive capabilities this season with the acquisition of Serge Ibaka and P.J. Carroll — and it will have to be through defense-first that keeps the Raptors competitive in this game without Lowry as they simply do not have the scorers to keep up with the defending champions. As it is, Toronto has played 11 of their last 16 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. The Raptors have also played 16 of their last 22 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. And in their last 28 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game, Toronto has played 20 of these games Under the Total. |

05-07-17 | Blues v. Predators UNDER 5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
At 3:05 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the St. Louis Blues (63) and the Nashville (64). St. Louis (51-33-7) kept this series alive on Friday with their 2-1 win over the Predators to make this a 3-2 series. The Blues have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a win. St. Louis have also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after scoring two goals or less in their last game. The Under is also 18-4-5 in the Blues’ last 27 games when playing with one day of rest. Winning low-scoring games is the formula for success for head coach Mike Yeo since he took over for Ken Hitchcock midseason. St. Louis went from 28th to tops in the league in Goals-Against-Average under Yeo by emphasizing limiting shot attempts. That strategy worked in Game Five as the Blues outshot the Predators by a 32-22 margin. St. Louis has issues with their forwards. Center Alexander Steen remains questionable with his lower body injury while their star forward Vladimir Tarasenko has not registered a point in the last three games. Moving forward, the Under is 6-1-1 in the Blues’ last 8 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice. |

05-06-17 | Warriors v. Jazz UNDER 208 | Top | 102-91 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
At 8:35 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (509) and the Utah Jazz (510). Golden State (73-15) has now won seven straight games with their 115-104 win over the Jazz on Thursday as a 13.5-point favorite. The Warriors have then played 12 of their last 17 games Under the Total after a double-digit win. Golden State has also played 23 of their last 31 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Furthermore, while the Warriors have failed to cover the point spread in the first two games of this series, they have then played a decisive 42 of their last 60 games Under the Total after failing to cover the point spread in two straight games. Golden State has won their last three games by at least 12 points — and they have then played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total after winning at least three straight gams by double-digits. And while the Warriors have scored at least 106 points in seven straight games, they have then played 13 of their last 18 road games Under the Total after scoring at least 105 points in five straight games. Additionally, Golden State has played 25 of the last 35 road games Under the Total which includes twelve of their last seventeen games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court.

05-06-17 | Penguins v. Capitals OVER 5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 36 m | Show |
At 7:15 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Penguins (61) and the Washington Capitals (62). Pittsburgh (58-22-6) scored three goals on just 18 shots on Wednesday in their 3-2 win that gave them a 3-1 lead in this series. With that Total moving to 5.5 by the time the puck dropped in that game, that result was the second straight Under in this series. The Penguins have then played 9 of their last 12 games Over the Total after playing at least two straight Unders. Pittsburgh has also played 18 of their last 26 games Under the Total when playing their second game in the last five days. Furthermore, the Under is 42-19-7 in the last 68 games against an opponent that did not score more than two goals in their last game. Pittsburgh needs to increase the pressure they are putting on goalie Braden Holtby even with their 3-1 series lead. They may very well get Sidney Crosby back on the ice tonight as the superstar has said he has had a number of positive days after suffering a concussion. Moving forward, the Pens have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total on the road. And in their last 21 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice, the Over is 15-5-1. |

05-06-17 | Marlins v. Mets OVER 9 | Top | 3-11 | Win | 100 | 3 h 47 m | Show |
At 7:10 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Miami Marlins (907) and the New York Mets (908) listing both starting pitchers Odrisamer Despaigne and Robert Gsellman. New York (13-15) has won five of their last seven games with their 8-7 win last night in the opening game of this series. The Over is 4-0-1 in the Mets’ last 5 games after a win — and the Over is a decisive 9-1-1 in their last 11 games after scoring at least five runs in their last contest. And in their last 32 games after allowing at least five runs, the Over is 21-8-3. Additionally, the Over is 16-5-2 in New York’s last 23 games at home — and they have played thirteen of their last sixteen games Over the Total at home against teams with a losing record. Furthermore, the Over is 19-4-3 in the Mets’ last 27 games against fellow NL East opponents. They send out Gsellman who is 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP this season. The right-hander has not been as effective at home so far as he owns a 1.76 WHIP and .329 opponent’s batting average in three starts at home as compared to his 1.15 WHIP and .263 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Mets have played 5 straight home games Over the Total with Gsellman on the mound. Miami has played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total against teams using a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. The Marlins have also seen the Over go 17-5-4 in their last 26 road games against right-handed starting pitchers. |

05-06-17 | Cardinals v. Braves OVER 8.5 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 0 h 16 m | Show | |
At 7:10 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the St. Louis Cardinals (901) and the Atlanta Braves (902) listing both starting pitchers Mike Leake and Julio Teheran. St. Louis (14-14) won the opening game in this series last night by a 10-0 score. The Cardinals have then played 6 straight games Over the Total after a win. St. Louis has also played 7 straight games Over the Total against teams with a losing record. And in their last 6 games on the road, the Cards have played 5 of these games Over the Total. They give the ball to Leake who is 3-1 with a 1.35 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP this season. Last season, the right-hander had a 4.50 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and .267 opponent’s batting average at home but all those numbers rose to a 4.84 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .305 when on the road. St. Louis has played 11 of their last 16 games Over the Total with Leake facing team with a losing record. The Over is 20-8-1 in the Braves’ last 29 home games against right-handed starting pitchers. Atlanta has also played 22 of their last 26 games Over the Total against teams using a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.10 or lower. |

05-06-17 | Rangers v. Senators UNDER 5 | 4-5 | Loss | -107 | 1 h 37 m | Show | |
At 3:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the New York Rangers (59) and the Ottawa Senators (60). Ottawa (50-36-6) has only scored twice in their last two games — losing 4-1 in both games in New York. The Senators have then played 18 of their last 22 games Under the Total when looking to avenge a loss on the road. Ottawa has also played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total when looking to avenge a loss by at least three goals. And in their last 6 games after a loss by at least three goals overall, the Under is 4-1-1. Craig Anderson will be back between the pipes tonight after getting pulled after two periods on Thursday. Anderson has allowed twelve goals in the last three games but his defense has left him to hung out to dry too many times during that span. Anderson needs to stop wandering away from the net while his blue-liners need to play better as they should back on home ice. The Under is 36-17-2 in the Senators’ last 55 games at home. |

05-05-17 | Oilers v. Ducks UNDER 5.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -125 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
At 10:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Edmonton Oilers (5) and the Anaheim Ducks (6). Edmonton (53-30-4) pulled their goalie Cam Talbot late in the 3rd period on Wednesday and were rewarded with a goal that not only forced overtime but ensured an Over — and that was officially secured a mere seconds into overtime when the Ducks scored to earn a 4-3 win that evened this series at two games apiece. The Oilers have then played 18 of their last 26 games Under the Total after playing a game where at least seven combined goals were scored. The Total moved up to 5.5 on Wednesday after Anaheim’s 6-3 in Game Three of this series. Edmonton has played 12 of their last 15 games Under the Total after playing at least two straight games that finished Under the Total. Now the Oilers go back on the road where the Under is 11-4-2 in their last 17 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice. |

05-05-17 | Spurs v. Rockets OVER 213.5 | 103-92 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 21 m | Show | |
At 9:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (737) and the Houston Rockets (738). San Antonio (66-24) had a sensational 59.7% effective field goal percentage on Wednesday en route to their 121-96 victory to even this series at one game apiece as a 6-point favorite. The Spurs have then played 33 of their last 54 games Over the Total after a win by at least 15 points. San Antonio has also played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. The team did receive bad news that night with the season-ending injury to Tony Parker who ruptured his left tendon. The Spurs have an outstanding backup in Patty Mills who may very well be the team’s second best player as of late. The Spurs go on the road where they have played 6 straight games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home. And in their last 5 games in the Western Conference Semifinals, San Antonio has played 4 of these games Over the Total. |

05-05-17 | Predators v. Blues UNDER 5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 30 m | Show | |
At 8:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (3) and the St. Louis Blues (4). Nashville (48-30-12) has the opportunity to close things out tonight in five games after taking a 3-1 lead in this series on Tuesday with their 2-1 victory. That game was scoreless after the first two periods before those three combined goals in the third period. Expect another low-scoring contest. The Under is 4-1-5 in the Predators’ last 10 games after a win. The Under is also 6-1-2 in Nashville’s last 9 games after scoring two goals or less in their last game. And in their last 9 games against fellow Central Division foes, the Under is 4-1-4. |

Milwaukee (15-14) has won three of their last four games with their 5-4 win in St. Louis last night. The Brewers have then played 9 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a win. Milwaukee has also played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. And in their last 6 games on the road, the Brewers have played 5 of these games Over the Total. They send out Nelson who is 1-2 with a 5.34 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP this season. The right-hander has a 5.84 in his two starts on the road this year to continue the disparate home/road splits from last season where he had a 3.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and .253 opponent’s batting average at home but a 6.00 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and .268 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Brewers have played 7 of their last 10 road games Over the Total with Nelson on the mound. Milwaukee has also played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total in Pittsburgh with Nelson making the start. Furthermore, the Over is 8-1-1 in the Pirates’ last 10 home games when facing a right-handed starting pitcher. |

05-05-17 | Cavs v. Raptors OVER 212.5 | 115-94 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
At 7:00 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (735) and the Toronto Raptors (736). Cleveland (57-31) shot a sizzling 54.7% from the field in Game Two of this series en route to their 125-103 victory on Wednesday as a 7.5-point favorite. The Cavaliers have then played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have also played 7 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a win by at least 10 points. And in their last 31 games after scoring at least 100 points, the Over is 22-8-1. Now the defending champions go back on the road where they have played 21 of their last 29 road games Over the Total with the number set in the 210-219.5 point range. Cleveland still looks sketchy on defense — and their clear formula for success is to simply outscore opponents. |

05-04-17 | Jazz v. Warriors UNDER 207 | 104-115 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
At 10:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (507) and the Golden State Warriors (508).

05-04-17 | Celtics v. Wizards OVER 219 | Top | 89-116 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (505) and the Washington Wizards (506). Boston (59-31) shot 51.1% from the field for the second straight game to rally from a late hole to force overtime and defeat the Wizards by a 129-119 score. Isaiah Thomas was unstoppable in the 4th quarter and overtime by scoring 29 points during that span and 53 points overall — and this Washington team that ranked a lowly 20th during the regular season in Defensive Efficiency. As it is, the Celtics are 5-2-1 in their last 8 games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Boston has also played 13 of their last 16 games Over the Total after scoring at least 120 points in their last game — and they have played 4 straight Overs after scoring at least 125 points in their last contest. And while the Celtics have covered the points spread in six straight games, they have then played 9 of their last 10 games Over the Total after covering the point spread in three straight contests. Furthermore, the Over is 9-4-1 in Boston’s last 14 games when playing with one day of rest. And in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record, the Celtics have played 5 of these games Over the Total. |

05-04-17 | Senators v. Rangers UNDER 5 | Top | 1-4 | Push | 0 | 4 h 29 m | Show |
At 7:30 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (1) and the New York Rangers (2). Ottawa (50-32-6) may have played their worst game in the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Tuesday in their 4-1 loss to the Rangers. Perhaps Guy Boucher’s team was complacent after rallying from a 5-3 deficit late in the 3rd period to force overtime where they then won in overtime in Game Two of this series. The Senators fell behind by a 2-0 score in the first period and later were down 4-0 in Game Three while getting thoroughly outplayed by a desperate New York team. Ottawa must tighten their control of the puck while goalie needs to stop being too frisky around the net where he has burned too many times in the postseason by leaving the pipes unprotected. After allowing nine goals over the last two games, the Senators should get back to their tight defensive tactics that emphasizing trapping in their 1-3-1 zone. Ottawa has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a loss by at least three goals. The Senators have also played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total when avenging a loss by at least three goals. Furthermore, the Under is 37-18-5 in Ottawa’s last 60 games against Eastern Conference opponents. The good news for this team is that forward Bobby Ryan will take the ice in this game after suffering a lower-body injury. While Ryan is a crucial goal scorer for this team, his presence will keep Boucher confident in his teams defense-first tactics. |

05-03-17 | Ducks v. Oilers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -130 | 4 h 21 m | Show |
At 10:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (57) and the Edmonton Oilers (58). Anaheim (51-25-13) made this a series on Sunday by coming out on fire by scoring three goals in the first 11:51 of the first period to stun the Oilers and their home crown en route to their 6-3 victory to make this a 2-1 series for Edmonton. Those nine goals compelled the oddsmakers to raise the Total from 5 to 5.5 — and lets pounce on that opportunity to win the Totals play with a 3-2 result (a highly likely score for tonight’s game). The Ducks have seen just one of their games in the playoffs have a 5.5 number while this will be the first 5.5 for the Oilers this postseason. This critical fourth game should be a defensive struggle that gets physical like the Washington-Pittsburgh series. Despite the nine goals on Sunday, Anaheim and Edmonton only generated 28 and 27 shots on net respectively. Moving forward, the Ducks have played 14 of their last 21 games Under the Total after scoring at least four goals in their last game — and the Under is 3-0-2 in Anaheim’s last 5 games after scoring at least five goals in their last contest. The Under is also 16-5-5 in the Ducks’ last 26 games against an opponent that allowed at least five goals in their last contest. And in their last 8 games when playing with two days of rest, the Under is 5-1-2. |

05-03-17 | Rockets v. Spurs OVER 216 | Top | 96-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
At 9:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (733) and the San Antonio Spurs (734). Houston (60-28) nailed 22 shots from behind the arc on Monday en route to their 126-99 win over the Spurs to take a 1-0 lead in this series as a 6-point underdog. The Rockets have then seen the Over go 9-4-1 in their last 14 games after a point spread win. Houston will want to push the pace as fast as possible again tonight in Mike D’Antoni’s system as they hope to tire out this aging San Antonio team. The Rockets scored 112.8 PPG in the first-round of the playoffs while proudly being a beacon for the analytics community with 84% of their shots either being inside of 3-feet to the basket or from 3-point land. And Houston made only 28% of their 3-pointers against the Thunder — so the ceiling is high for this team if they can get closer to their 36% shooting mark from behind the arc. The Rockets have now won six of their last seven games — and they have played 24 of their last 36 games Over the Total after winning four of their last five games. The Over is also 3-1-1 in their last 5 games against familiar Southwest Division opponents. And in their last 8 games in the Western Conference Semifinals, Houston has played 7 of these games Over the Total. |

05-03-17 | Raptors v. Cavs OVER 213 | 103-125 | Win | 100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
At 7:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Toronto Raptors (731) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (732). Cleveland (56-31) won the opening game of this series in a game with a final score that looks closer than it really was in a 116-105 final result with the Cavs’ laying 6.5-points on Monday. The Cavaliers have then played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a straight-up win. Cleveland has also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. The Over is also 21-8-1 in the Cavaliers’ last 30 games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. And in their last 9 games on their home court, Cleveland has played 8 of these games Over the Total. The Cavaliers love to play at a fast pace — and they are likely to continue to keep up the 112.5 PPG scoring mark they enjoyed in their four-game sweep of the Pacers in the opening round of the playoffs. |

05-02-17 | Jazz v. Warriors UNDER 208 | 94-106 | Win | 100 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
At 10:35 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (503) and the Golden State Warriors (504). Utah (55-34) held the Clippers to just 43.7% shooting on Sunday to win the decisive seventh game of that first-round series by a 104-91 score as a 3.5-point underdog. The Jazz have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Now Utah will be looking to slow games down to a grind in this battle of styles — and this is the slowest paced team in the NBA. Over the last two seasons, the Jazz have held the Warriors to just 96.1 possessions per 48 minutes. But Utah also has the challenge to score baskets — they averaged only 94.0 points per 100 possessions during the regular season which was their lowest offensive mark against any Western Conference opponent. The Jazz have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total on the road. And in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record, the Under is 5-0-1. |
|||||||
05-02-17 | Blues v. Predators UNDER 5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
At 9:35 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the St. Louis Blues (53) and the Nashville Predators (54). Nashville (47-30-12) took a 2-1 lead in this series on Sunday with their 3-1 win over the Blues. Returning home really helps this Predators team since it affords head coach Peter Laviolette the right to make the final lineup change on the ice to produce the matchups he prefers. In the first two games of this series in St. Louis, the Blues head coach Mike Yeo chose have his star forward Vladimir Tarasenko match up against the Nashville defensive pairing of Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis. Laviolette changed that dynamic up by having P.K. Subban and Mattias Ekholm be on the ice to slow Tarasenko down — and the Blues’ star managed just three shots on goal on Sunday. The Under is 4-0-2 in St. Louis’ last 6 games at home. Overall, the Blues held the Predators to just 23 shots on net which is not nearly enough pressure on goalie Pekka Rinne who had an outstanding 0.70 Goals-Against-Average along with a .976 save percentage in the opening round of the playoffs again the powerful Blackhawks. The Under is now 3-1-4 in Nashville’s last 8 games against familiar Central Division foes. And in their last 51 opportunities to host the Blues, the Under is 35-10-6 in Nashville. |

05-02-17 | Wizards v. Celtics OVER 217 | 119-129 | Win | 100 | 4 h 49 m | Show | |
At 8:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Washington Wizards (501) and the Boston Celtics (502). Boston (58-31) made at least fifteen of their shots from behind the arc on Sunday en route to their 123-111 win over the Wizards in the opening game of this Eastern Conference Semifinals series. The Celtics made a sizzling 19 of their 39 shots from the 3-point line to exploit the suspect Wizards’ defense that finished just 20th in the NBA during the regular season in Defensive Efficiency. Boston has then played 12 of their last 15 games Over the Total after scoring at least 120 points in their last game. And while the Celtics have now covered the point spread in five straight games, they have then played 8 of their last 9 games Over the Total after covered the epos spread in at least three straight games. Moving forward, the Over is 4-0-1 in Boston’s last 5 games on their home court. The Over is also 19-7-1 in the Celtics’ last 27 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. |

05-02-17 | Senators v. Rangers UNDER 5 | 1-4 | Push | 0 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
At 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (51) and the New York Rangers (52). New York (52-33-8) finds themselves in a desperate situation down 0-2 in this series after their 6-5 loss in double-overtime on Saturday to the Senators. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist surrendered all six goals in that game — but he should not shoulder all (or most) of the blame given some spotty defensive play from the Rangers’ blue-liners. New York enjoyed a 5-3 lead late in the 3rd period before surrendering two late goals to force overtime in that game. Lundqvist was spectacular in the opening round of the playoffs by generating a 1.70 Goals-Against-Average and a .947 save percentage against the Canadiens. The extra day of rest should help Lundqvist and the Rangers’ defensive players — they have seen the Under go 6-1-1 in their last 8 games when playing with two days of rest. New York has also played 4 straight games Under the Total in their last 4 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. Furthermore, in their last 26 opportunities to host the Senators in Madison Square Garden, the Under is 19-5-2. |

05-01-17 | Rockets v. Spurs UNDER 214.5 | 126-99 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
At 9:35 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (725) and the San Antonio Spurs (726). San Antonio (65-23) enters this series coming off a 103-96 win in Memphis last Thursday to close out that series in six games. The Under is then 18-8-2 in the Spurs’ last 28 games after a straight-up win. San Antonio hosts the first two games of this series — and the Under is 6-2-1 in their last 9 home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. And while the Rockets allow 109.3 PPG, the Spurs have played 21 of their last 29 games Under the Total against teams that allow at least 108 PPG. |

05-01-17 | Capitals v. Penguins UNDER 5.5 | 3-2 | Win | 105 | 0 h 27 m | Show | |
At 7:30 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Capitals (13) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (14). Washington (58-24-8) must play better on defense tonight after surrendering six goals on Saturday in a 6-2 loss to the Penguins in the second game of this series. Goalie Braden Holtby was pulled after allowing three goals on fourteen shots in that game — but he is getting the start tonight. Expect him along with the Capitals blue line pairs to play much better tonight. The Under is 20-6-3 in Washington’s last 29 games after a loss by at least three goals at home. The Capitals have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after scoring two goals or less in their last game. Moving forward, Washington has seen the Under go 8-1-3 in their last 12 games against fellow Metropolitan Division opponents. And in their last 22 games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Under is 12-4-6. |

At 7:00 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Toronto Raptors (723) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (724). Cleveland (55-31) begins this series after their four-game sweep over the Pacers that culminated in their 106-102 win at Indiana last Sunday. The Cavaliers have then seen the Over go 20-8-1 in their last 29 games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. The Over is also 26-11-1 in Cleveland’s last 38 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. The Cavs host the first two games of the season — and they have played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total on their home court. And in their last 17 games against fellow Eastern Conference opponents, Cleveland has played 13 of these games Over the Total. |

04-30-17 | Ducks v. Oilers UNDER 5 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -105 | 1 h 19 m | Show |
At 7:00 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (11) and the Edmonton Oilers (12). Anaheim (50-25-13) will be playing with desperation tonight after falling behind 2-0 in this series with their 2-1 loss to the Oilers on Friday in Game Two of this series. This team has to play disciplined and give this dynamic Edmonton team less opportunities with a man-advantage after surrendering three Power Play goals in the first two games of this series. The Ducks have played 20 of their last 25 road games Under the Total after a loss at home — and they have played fifteen of their last seventeen road games Under the Total when that loss at home was by one goal. Anaheim has also played 14 of the last 21 games Under the Total when avenging a loss by just one goal. Additionally, the Under is 4-1-2 in the Ducks’ last 7 games played with one day of rest.

04-30-17 | Jazz v. Clippers UNDER 191 | 104-91 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 31 m | Show | |
At 3:30 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (721) and the Los Angeles Clippers (722). Los Angeles (54-34) dug deep on Friday to even this series at 3-3 and force a climactic seventh game with their 98-93 win over the Jazz as a 5.5-point victory. The Clippers was fueled by their effort on the defensive end of the court as they held Utah to just a 41% shooting mark which was their best defensive effort in their last seven games. Expect another strong effort on defense from this veteran team that knows their energy in that area will be critical to winning this contest. Doc Rivers team has to rely on their wile and experience in pressure playoff games like this with Blake Griffin on the shelf which takes away one of their best offensive weapons. Los Angeles has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total on their home court. The Under is also 17-5-1 in the Clippers’ last 23 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. And in their last 8 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%, Los Angeles has played 6 of these games Under the Total. |

At 3:05 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the St. Louis Blues (9) and the Nashville Predators (10). St. Louis (50-31-7) evened this series at 1-1 apiece on Friday with their 3-2 comeback win over the Predators after trailing 3-2 in the 3rd period of that game. The Blues have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a win. St. Louis has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after not allowing more than two goals in their last game. Now this team goes back on the road where the Under is 10-4-1 in their last 15 games. The Under is also 4-1-1 in their last 6 road games against teams with winning percentage over 60% on their home ice. |

Washington (53-35) enters this series coming off their 115-99 win in Atlanta on Friday as a 3-point underdog. The Wizards have then played 35 of their last 51 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 straight games Over the Total after a double-digit victory.

And in their last 19 games after a win on the road, the Wizards have played 16 of these games Over the Total. Washington opens this series on the road where the Over is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games. |

04-29-17 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks OVER 8.5 | Top | 7-6 | Win | 100 | 2 h 3 m | Show |
At 8:10 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Colorado Rockies (959) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (960) listing both starting pitchers Tyler Anderson and Zack Greinke. Colorado (15-9) won the opening game of this series last night by a 3-1 score. The Rockies have now played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. They send out Anderson who is 1-3 with a 7.11 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP in five starts this season. Zero of these five starts qualified as Qualified Starts for Anderson as his lack of an effective breaking pitch has significantly reduced his reliability. Last season, the left-hander had a 5-6 record with a 3.54 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP — but those numbers rose to a 4.71 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP when on the road. The Rockies have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total with Anderson pitching with four days rest as he does tonight. That is not a good sign when facing this Diamondbacks team that has seen the Over 20-7-2 in their last 29 home games against a left-handed starting pitcher. |

04-29-17 | Cubs v. Red Sox OVER 10.5 | Top | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 26 m | Show |
At 4:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Cubs (979) and the Boston Red Sox (980) listing both starting pitchers John Lackey and Steven Wright. Chicago (12-10) looks to bounce-back from a 5-4 loss to the Red Sox last night. The Cubs have then played 4 straight games Over the Total after a loss. Chicago has also played 7 straight games Over the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. The Cubbies have also played 5 of their last 6 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. They send out Lackey who is 1-3 with a 4.88 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP this season. There were signs last season that the 38-year old was about to experience some series regression in his effectiveness. His 34.4% hard contact rate last season was the worst of his career. Lackey was not as effective on the road last year where he had a 4.37 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and .234 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 2.62 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and .206 opponent’s batting average at home at Wrigley Field. This season, Lackey has a rough 6.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP when on the road. Chicago has played 5 straight road games Over the Total with Lackey on the hill. |

04-29-17 | Rangers v. Senators OVER 5 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 107 | 2 h 50 m | Show |
At 3:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New York Rangers (55) and the Ottawa Senators (56). New York (52-32-8) lost the opening game of this series on Thursday with their 2-1 loss to the Senators. Now facing the prospects of returning home down 0-2 in this series, this Rangers team will be playing with desperation. New York has lost two straight games to the Senators after their 3-1 loss back on April 8th in the closing days of the regular season. Expect this Rangers team with plenty of firepower to amp up their aggressiveness. Head coach Alain Vigneault can roll four forward lines — and three of those lines are quite potent as they helped elevate this team to being 4th in the league by scoring 3.1 Goals-Per-Game. All four lines features at least one player that scored at least 20 goals during the regular season. The Rangers have played 14 of their last 19 road gams Over the Total when playing with double-revenge. This team has also played 6 straight games Over the Total when playing with double-revenge and failing to score more than one goal in either game. Furthermore, in games with the Total set at 5 or less, when the road team is both playing with double-revenge and comes off a loss on the road, these games finished Over the Total in 91 of the last 131 situations (70%) where these conditions applied. |

04-28-17 | Clippers v. Jazz UNDER 195 | Top | 98-93 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Clippers (507) and the Utah Jazz (508). Utah (54-33) has significantly upped its game on the defensive end of the court with the return of their rim protector Rudy Gobert. The Jazz held the Clippers to just 42% shooting on Tuesday en route to their 96-92 victory as a 3-point underdog to help them take a 3-2 lead in this series. That came on the heels of holding Los Angeles to just 44% shooting in the fourth game of this series. Gobert is one of the top candidates to win Defensive Player of the Year honors this season after holding opponents to just a 43.9% shooting clip at the rim with contested shots during the regular season. Now with the Jazz having the opportunity to close this series out on their home court, expect a lower scoring contest with the stakes so high. Utah has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. But this can be a team that struggles to score points. They were 27th in the NBA during the regular season with a 100.7 PPG scoring average. Quin Snyder’s team also plays the slowest pace in the league. Furthermore, in the Jazz’s last 75 games as a favorite in the 3.5-9.5 point range, Utah has played 46 of these games Under the Total. |

04-28-17 | Celtics v. Bulls UNDER 203.5 | 105-83 | Win | 100 | 2 h 10 m | Show | |
At 8:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (509) and the Chicago Bulls (510).

Additionally, Boston has now played 23 of their last 32 games Under the Total in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Now the Celtics go back on the road where the Under is 11-3-3 in their last 17 games. The Under is also 7-2-2 in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning record on their home court. |

At 9:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (505) and the Memphis Grizzlies (506). San Antonio (64-23) looks to close out this series tonight after taking a 3-2 lead in this series with their 116-103 win over the Grizzlies as a 10.5-point favorite. The Spurs have then played 24 of their last 36 games Over the Total after a point spread cover as a double-digit favorite. San Antonio has also played 4 straight games Over the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Furthermore, the Spurs have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. Now San Antonio goes back on the road where they have played 5 straight road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home. |

04-27-17 | Padres v. Diamondbacks OVER 10 | 2-6 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
At 9:40 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Diego Padres (959) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (960) listing both starting pitchers Jered Weaver and Taijuan Walker. San Diego (9-14) looks to build off their 8-5 win last night in the third game of this series. The Padres have then played 4 straight games Over the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. The Over is also 4-0-1 in San Diego’s last 5 games against teams with a winning record. The Padres have also played 5 straight games Over the Total in the road. They send out Weaver who is 0-1 with a 3.91 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP this season. The right-hander has lost plenty of velocity from his salad days with the Angels. On the road last season, Weaver was saddled with a 5.54 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and .298 opponent’s batting average. He should struggle against this Diamondbacks’ offense that has seen the Over go 19-6-2 against teams with a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower. The Over is also 36-14-1 in Arizona’s last 51 home games against right-handed starting pitchers. |

04-27-17 | Penguins v. Capitals UNDER 5.5 | 3-2 | Win | 112 | 1 h 32 m | Show | |
At 7:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Penguins (7) and the Washington Capitals (8). Washington (58-22-8) rallied from a 2-1 deficit with the Maple Leafs to win three straight games in that series — culminating in a 2-1 win in Toronto last Sunday. The Under has then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a victory. The Under is also 5-1-2 in the Capitals’ last 8 games when playing with at least three days of rest. And in their last 15 home games after a win by just one goal, Washington has played 11 of these games Under the Total. A benefit of that prolonged series with Toronto is that it prepped this team to deal with the speed that they have struggled with in the past with this Penguins team. They certainly have the goaltender who is battle-tested as Braden Holtby has a .936 save percentage in the NHL Playoffs over his career. Furthermore, the Caps have played 6 of their last 7 home games Under the Total. |

04-27-17 | Raptors v. Bucks UNDER 195.5 | 92-89 | Win | 100 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
At 7:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Raptors (501) and the Milwaukee Bucks (502). Milwaukee (44-43) looks to extend this series to a decisive seventh game after falling behind by a 3-2 margin with their 118-93 loss to the Raptors on Monday as a 5.5-point favorite. The Bucks have then 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. Milwaukee saw the Raptors shoot a sizzling 57.7% from the field which was their worst defensive effort in their last eighteen games. Expect the Bucks to tighten up on defensive in this contest back on their home court where they have played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total. Milwaukee has also played 4 straight home games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. Furthermore, the Under is 6-2-1 in the Bucks’ last 9 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 5 opportunities to host the Raptors in Milwaukee, the game finished Under the Total all 5 times. |

At 7:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the New York Rangers (5) and the Ottawa Senators (6). New York (52-31-8) closed out their six game series with the Canadiens by winning three straight games culminating in their 3-1 win over Montreal last Saturday. The Under is then 3-1-1 in the Rangers’ last 5 games after victory. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist was outstanding in that series as he boasted a 1.70 Goals-Against-Average and a .947 save percentage. New York opens this series on the road as the wild card team in the Eastern Conference despite finishing with four more points than the Senators. The Under is 3-1-1 in their last 5 road games against teams with a winning record at home. And in their last 29 games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Under is 16-5-7 for the Rangers. |

At 6:10 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Astros (963) and the Cleveland Indians (964) listing both starting pitchers Mike Fiers and Corey Kluber. Cleveland (11-9) looks to build off their 7-6 win over the Astros last night. The Indians have now played 17 of their last 24 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. They send out Kluber who is 2-1 with a 4.28 ERA and a a 1.13 WHIP this season. The right-hander comes off a shutout on the road against the White Sox in his last start — but Cleveland has played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total when Kluber is looking to follow up a Quality Start. Kluber saw his skills regress last season with his walk rate rising to a 7% clip while his strikeout rate of 26% which was the lowest of his career. Kluber was not as effective at home either given his 3.24 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and .221 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 3.03 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and .210 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Over is 8-1-1 in the Indians’ last 10 games with Kluber facing an AL West opponent. Furthermore, the Astros have played 6 of their last 7 road games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. |

At 10:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Edmonton Oilers (3) and the Anaheim Ducks (4). Edmonton (51-28-4) won four of their last five games against San Jose to win that series in six games. They closed out that series on Saturday with a 3-1 win in the Shark Tank. The Under is then 37-18-5 in the Oilers’ last 60 games after a victory. Edmonton has also played 16 of their last 22 games Under the Total when playing just their second game in five days. While this team was 3rd in the Western Conference in goals during the regular season, this group proved under head coach Todd McClellan that they could play physical hockey that relied on sound defensive principles to upset the defending Western Conference Champions in the Sharks. Moving forward, the Under is 10-3-2 in the Oilers’ last 15 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice. |

04-26-17 | Predators v. Blues UNDER 5 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -119 | 5 h 50 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (1) and the St. Louis Blues (2). Nashville (45-29-12) enters this series after a surprising 4-0 sweep over the Chicago Blackhawks in the opening round of the playoffs. That series ended last Thursday — expect the time off to negatively impact the timing for this team on offense. As it is, the Under is 3-0-4 in the Predators’ last 7 games after a win. While their top line of Filip Forsberg, Ryan Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson is as good as any in the league, this team does experience big drop-off after that. James Neal anchors the second line — but he had only one assist and zero goals in Round One. But this Nashville defense should be outstanding once again tonight. The Predators enjoy two elite defensive pairings with Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis along with P.K. Subban and Matthias Ekholm. They held the potent Blackhawks offense that averaged 31 shots per game in that series to just three combined goals. Of course, goalie Pekka Rinne had something to do with that as well — he had a spectacular .976 save percentage along with a 0.70 Goals-Against-Average in that series. Moving forward, the Under is 4-1-2 in Nashville’s last 7 games on the road. |

The Clippers have then played 26 of their last 38 home games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Los Angeles has still won nine of their last eleven games — and they have played 29 of their last 41 home games Under the Total after winning four or five of their last six games. Furthermore, the Under is 16-5-1 in the Clippers’ last 22 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. |

04-25-17 | Mariners v. Tigers OVER 8.5 | Top | 9-19 | Win | 100 | 5 h 38 m | Show |
At 7:10 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Seattle Mariners (971) and the Detroit Tigers (972) listing both starting pitchers Felix Hernandez and Jordan Zimmermann. Seattle (8-12) enters this series coming off an 11-1 win at Oakland on Sunday which was a nice win for Mariners’ bettors who were getting +115 on the money line. The Mariners have then played 20 of their last 29 games Over the Total after an upset win over a divisional rival. Seattle has also played 13 of their last 18 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. They send out Hernandez who is 2-1 with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP so far this season. The aging right-hander has seen his effectiveness drop as he has been losing velocity. His 3.8 walk rate per 9 innings was the worst of his career. The King was not as effective on the road last year where he was saddled with a 1.49 WHIP and .253 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 1.19 WHIP and .228 opponent’s batting average when at home. This season, Hernandez has a 4.09 ERA along with a dangerous .333 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Mariners have played 5 straight road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. Seattle has also seen the Over go 3-1-1 in their last 5 games in Detroit with Hernandez on the mound. That spells trouble when facing this Tigers’ team that has seen the Over go 9-1-1 in their last 11 home games against right-handed starting pitchers. |

04-24-17 | Wizards v. Hawks UNDER 211 | Top | 101-111 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 2 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Wizards (519) and the Atlanta Hawks (520). Washington (51-34) allowed the Hawks to shoot 49.4% from the field on Saturday in their 116-98 loss in Game Three of this series. That was the Wizards’ second worst defensive effort over their last seven contests. This team must increase their pressure on the Hawks’ point guard Dennis Schroder who has averaged 25 PPG in this series after registering 27 points in his team’s Game Three victory. Washington also shot just 41.6% from the field in their first road game in this series. Furthermore, the Under is supported by a historical angle that has been 71% effective since 1996. This is Washington’s just fifth game in the last fourteen days — and in games with the Total set at least at 200 involving a road team with a winning percentage in the 51-60% range playing no more than their fifth game in fourteen days now facing a team with a winning record, these games finished Under the Total in 46 of the last 65 situations where these conditions applied. |

04-24-17 | Bucks v. Raptors UNDER 192.5 | 93-118 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
At 7:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Bucks (517) and the Toronto Raptors (518). Toronto (53-33) made some important adjustments on defense on Saturday with the results being a 87-76 victory over the Bucks as a 2.5-point underdog. Head coach Dwane Casey took Jonas Valanciunas out of the starting lineup to be replaced by guard Norman Powell who played the “small forward” spot in a smaller lineup. This move helped the Raptors defense in two ways. First, the third guard on the floor helped Toronto force 21 turnovers. Second, Casey had Valanciunas take the floor whenever Milwaukee’s Greg Monroe was put into the game to continue his role as an offensive spark plug for Jason Kidd’s team who took the big man out of the starting linuep to help his team on defense overall while seeing the former Georgetown star dominant backup big men on offense. The Raptors also slowed the tempo down to counter the athleticism of this Bucks team led by the Greek Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo who has been killing them in transition in this series. As it is, Toronto has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. The Raptors have also played 19 of their last 25 games Under the Total after an upset victory on the road as an underdog. Furthermore, Toronto has played 14 of their last 17 games Under the Total against a team with a winning record. |

The Nationals have then played 12 of their last 14 games Over the Total against an opponent that failed to score more than two runs in their last game. The Over is also 8-2-1 in Washington’s last 11 games after allowing two runs or less in their last game. And in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home, the Nationals have played 10 of these games Over the Total. They send out Scherzer who is 2-1 with a 1.37 ERA and an 0.86 WHIP this season. The right-hander was very tough at home last year where he had a 2.56 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .193. However, those numbers rose to a 3.28 ERA along with 1.00 WHIP and .203 opponent’s batting average when on the road. Washington has played 6 of their last 8 road games Over the Total with Scherzer facing a team with a losing record. Furthermore, the Over us 3-0-1 in the Mets’ last 4 games against right-handed starting pitchers. |

Montreal (49-29-9) finds themselves on the brink of elimination with their 3-2 loss in overtime to the Rangers on Thursday. The Under is then 9-3-5 in the Canadiens’ last 17 games after scoring two goals or less. The Montreal offense has also been hit with a tough injury as Andrew Shah will be out for tonight’s game after suffering an upper body injury in overtime on Thursday. The Canadiens will be facing a very hot goaltender in Henrik Lundqvist who has a sizzling .944 save percentage in this series. Now Montreal goes on the road to Madison Square Garden — and the Under is 15-3-3 in their last 21 games on the road. The Under is also 8-1-3 in the Canadiens’ last 12 road games against teams with a winning record at home.

Memphis (44-41) snapped their four-game losing streak on Thursday with their 105-94 victory over the Spurs. As expect, the Grizzlies shot better back on their home court as they made 50.6% of their shots in that game. With this Total still high 180s, this game should finish above the number again. The Over is 9-3-1 in Memphis’ last 13 games at home — and they have played 4 of their last 5 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. The Grizzlies have also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against Western Conference opponents. |

At 3:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Raptors (501) and the Milwaukee Bucks (502).

The Bucks have then seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a double-digit victory. The Under is also 11-4-1 in Milwaukee’s last 16 games after a point spread win. The Under is also a decisive 16-5-1 in the Bucks’ last 22 games against opponents that allowed at least 100 points in their last game. Head coach Jason Kidd has plenty of lineup options at his disposal to give the Raptors multiple different looks on defense. Milwaukee held Toronto to just a 33.8% shooting mark in Game Three. The Bucks stay at home for this game where they have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total. |

The Cubs have then played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. Chicago has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total on the road. They send out Arrieta who is 2-0 with a 2.89 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP in three starts this season. The right-hander was not as effective on the road last year given his 3.59 ERA and .203 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 2.62 ERA and .185 opponent’s batting average when pitching at home. The Over is a decisive 14-4-3 in the Cubs’ last 21 road games with Arrieta on the mound. Furthermore, the Over is 35-15-5 in the Reds’ last 55 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower. |

Chicago (43-41) seized a 2-0 lead in this series with their 111-97 victory over the Celtics on Tuesday.

04-20-17 | Blue Jackets v. Penguins UNDER 5.5 | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 0 h 20 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Columbus Bluejackets (3) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (4). Pittsburgh (54-21-6) must improve their effort on defense after losing their first game in this series by a 5-4 score to the Bluejackets on Tuesday. With a 3-1 series lead, the Penguins look to close out this series tonight and not give this physical Columbus team any signs of life. This team also needs to shore things up on their blue-line when considering that they will have to defend their Stanley Cup Championship without their top defenseman Kris Letang. As it is, the Under is 3-1-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 5 games after allowing at least five goals in their last game. And while the Penguins allowed two goals in the third period on Tuesday, they have then played 12 of their last 17 games after allowing two goals or less in their last game. Furthermore, the Under is 3-0-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 4 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. |

04-19-17 | Blazers v. Warriors OVER 219 | 81-110 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
At 10:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Portland Trail Blazers (705) and the Golden State Warriors (706). Golden State (68-15) shot a sizzling 53.1% from the field on Sunday in their 121-109 victory over the Trail Blazers. The Warriors have then played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after a straight-up win. Golden State gas also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. And in their last 14 games played with two days of rest, the Warriors have played 10 of these games Over the Total. Kevin Durant scored 32 points in that game but injured his calf which makes him questionable for tonight. At first glance, it might be tempting to think that his absence on the court might help the Under — but don’t underestimate Durant’s importance for this team as a rim protector. Golden State has plenty of players that can replace his 32 points from Sunday. This is a team that was tops in the NBA over the last two season on offense despite Durant playing for another team. |

04-18-17 | Bucks v. Raptors UNDER 194 | Top | 100-106 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 33 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Bucks (525) and the Toronto Raptors (526). Toronto (51-32) lost their ninth straight opening game to the postseason on Sunday with their 97-83 loss to the Bucks as a 7.5-point underdog. Scoring was a problem for this team as they shot just 36% from the field while managing only 32 points in the second half. This Milwaukee team is underrated on the defensive end of the court particularly with Khris Middleton healthy and contributing. The Raptors must get back into this series by playing harder on the defensive end of their end. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 28 points in the victory with the Raptors head coach Dwane Casey declaring that his team must get back in transition to limit the Greek superstar’s offensive fireworks. With the acquisitions of P.J. Tucker and Serge Ibaka at the trade deadline, this Toronto team is significantly better on defense. After allowing 106.0 points per 100 possessions before they both arrived, that number dropped to allowing 102.3 points per 100 possessions which was 5th best in the league over that final span of games. The Raptors should comeback with a strong defensive effort. They have played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 13 of their last 17 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, Toronto has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss. Moving forward, the Raptors have played 12 of their last 14 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. And in their last 8 games in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, Toronto has played 7 of these games Under the Total. |

04-17-17 | Grizzlies v. Spurs OVER 189 | Top | 82-96 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
At 9:35 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies (519) and the San Antonio Spurs (520). San Antonio (62-21) trailed by 13 points in the first quarter on Saturday — but this team stepped up their level of play to go on a 19-0 run to close out the 3rd quarter and begin the 4th quarter to pull away for an easy 111-82 victory. The Spurs have then played 16 of their last 20 home games Over the Total after a win by at least 20 points. San Antonio has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. With the Grizzlies missing their defensive spark plug in Tony Allen, the Spurs were able to shoot 53.2% from the floor. Allen remains out in this series with his leg injury so San Antonio should continue to have their way on offense. They have now played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against Western Conference opponents. |
|||||||
04-17-17 | Blackhawks v. Predators OVER 5 | 2-3 | Push | 0 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
At 9:35 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Blackhawks (13) and the Nashville Predators (14). Chicago (50-25-9) has yet to score in this series — but don’t be surprised if this is a high-scoring game with the Blackhawks being desperate for a win on the road. Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have combined for fourteen shots in this series but have yet to score. Expect that to change tonight. The Over is a decisive 27-11-17 in Chicago’s last 55 games after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. The Over is also 3-0-2 in their last 5 games after a loss by at least three goals. Additionally, the Over is 17-5-5 in the Blackhawks’ lat 27 games on the road. Chicago has also played 17 of their last 25 games against Central Division opponents. And in their last 22 games in the Western Conference Quarterfinals, the Over is 13-4-5. |

04-15-17 | Flames v. Ducks OVER 5 | Top | 2-3 | Push | 0 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Calgary Flames (85) and the Anaheim Ducks (86). Anaheim (47-23-13) took the opening game of this series on Thursday with their 3-2 victory over the Flames. This game entered the third period at that score before both teams failed to score in the final 20 minutes of play. The Ducks peppered Calgary’s Brian Elliott with 41 shots on net to secure their three goals. They have now scored at least three goals in five straight games — and they have then played 14 of their last 19 games Over the Total after scoring at least three goals in three straight games. Anaheim has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing two goals or less in their last game. |

04-15-17 | Bucks v. Raptors OVER 197 | 97-83 | Loss | -107 | 2 h 43 m | Show | |
At 5:30 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total (please note that I mistakenly hit the Over button when submitting this play into the system) in the game between the Milwaukee Bucks (503) and the Toronto Raptors (504). Milwaukee (42-40) ranked only 19th in the NBA in Defensive Efficiency — but those numbers went down when the team was without an injured Khris Middleton. The Bucks’ defense is much better with their 25-year old guard in the mix. Milwaukee enters the playoffs looking to bounce-back from a 112-94 loss in Boston — and they have both 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 double-digit setback. Now the Bucks go on the road where the Under is 4-0-1 in their last 5 games away from home — and the Under is 9-1-1 in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. And in their last 4 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%, the Under is 3-0-1. |

04-15-17 | Bruins v. Senators UNDER 5 | 3-4 | Loss | -134 | 1 h 1 m | Show | |
At 3:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Boston Bruins (79) and the Ottawa Senators (80). Boston (45-31-4) is a M*A*S*H Unit right now having to resort to their ninth defenseman on the organizational depth chart with Colin Miller suffering an injury in Game One of this series. Fortunately for them, they will be facing a Senators team that has scored just 16 goals over their last 29 games. Even worse for the Bruins, the team lost their second-line center David Krejci who plays a key role in offering some balance on offense for this team. Boston was held without a shot on net in the second period before finding the back of the net twice in the third period to steal a 2-1 win in the opening game of this series on Wednesday. On the plus side, the Bruins got 24:11 minutes of solid play from 19-year old Charlie McAvoy who made his NHL debut in that game on their blue line. Boston has then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a victory. The Bruins have also played 4 straight games Under the Total after allowing two goals or less in their last game. Additionally, the Under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games on the road. And this Boston team has now played 7 straight games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
04-13-17 | Flames v. Ducks UNDER 5 | 2-3 | Push | 0 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
At 10:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Calgary Flames (15) and the Anaheim Ducks (16). Calgary (45-33-4) saw much improved play from their new goalie Brian Elliott as the season moved on. After coming over from St. Louis, Elliott struggled in the first month or so of the season. But he settled into his role and produced a strong 2.24 Goals-Against-Average along with a .924 save percentage since the All-Star Break. The Ducks hold their opponents to just 2.4 Goals-Per-Game — and the Flames have played 8 of their last 10 road games Under the Total against teams that do not allow more than 2.55 Goals-Per-Game. The Under is also 3-0-2 in Calgary’s last 5 games on the road. And in their last 27 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home, the Under is 19-7-1. |
|||||||
04-13-17 | Predators v. Blackhawks UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (13) and the Chicago Blackhawks (14). Nashville (41-29-12) entered this season with question marks regarding their offense with a big drop-off in forward scoring depth after Filip Forsberg and James Neal. Viktor Arviddson stepped up by scoring 31 goals and adding 30 assists to give Peter Laviolette’s team more punch. But Ardividdson plays on the same line with Forsberg and center Ryan Johansen which affords Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville to counter with his master defenseman Duncan Keith against that potent forward line. With the suspect depth of this Predators’ forward group further challenged with both Colin Wilson and Calle Jarnkrok questionable with injuries, this Nashville team cannot get into a high scoring affair with the Blackhawks. Expect the Predators to lean heavily on their outstanding blue line which features four elite defenders led by P.K. Subbing and Roman Josi. The team needs their goalie Pekka Rinne to step up as well in these playoffs — and they can be encouraged by his 1.98 Goals-Against-Average and .932 save percentage over the last thirteen games of the regular season. The Under is 3-1-3 in Nashville’s last 7 games in the Western Conference Quarterfinals. The Under is also 3-1-1 in the Predators’ last 5 games on the road. And in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record, the Under is 5-1-1. Furthermore, Nashville will be looking to avenge a 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks at home back on March 4th — and they have played 17 of their last 24 games Under the Total when avenging a loss by at least two goals to their opponent. |
|||||||
04-12-17 | Sharks v. Oilers OVER 5 | 3-2 | Push | 0 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
At 10:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Jose Sharks (7) and the Edmonton Oilers (8). San Jose (46-29-6) limps into the playoffs with some injuries and a losing streak having dropped nine of their last thirteen games. The status of forwards Joe Thornton and Logan Couture remain questionable after both veterans missed time to close out the regular season. But the defending Western Conference Champions will remain a confident group regardless of the status of those two players when facing this young and inexperienced Oilers team. The Sharks still have their top two offensive weapons in Captain Joe Pavelski along with defenseman Brent Burns who 76 points led the team. The San Jose offense revolves around Burns despite him playing on the blue-line. He led the entire NHL with 326 shots on net. The Over is 4-1-3 in the Sharks’ last 8 games against teams with a winning record. The Over is also 3-1-2 in San Jose’s last 6 games on the road. And in their last 15 games in the Western Conference Quarterfinals, the Over is 9-3-3. |

04-12-17 | Blues v. Wild OVER 5 | 2-1 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
At 9:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the St. Louis Blues (5) and the Minnesota Wild (6). Minnesota (49-25-6) bounced-back from a terrible March to win their last four games to build momentum for the playoffs. The Over is 5-0-1 for this team in their last 6 games when playing with at least three days of rest. Goalie Devan Dubnyk was a big cause of the team’s dip in play during March Madness as he was saddled with an .889 save percentage in fourteen games in March. But his 2.67 Goals-Against-Average along with a .916 save percentage in his three April starts still is a far cry from the 1.88 GAA and .936 save percentage prior to the All-Star Break. Dubnyk has an ugly .896 save percentage in sixteen postseason appearances. Moving forward, the Wild has seen the Over go 18-7-1 in their last 26 games on home ice. The Over is also 15-5-4 in their last 24 games against teams with a winning record. |

04-11-17 | White Sox v. Indians OVER 8.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 41 m | Show | |
At 4:10 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago White Sox (965) and the Cleveland Indians (966) listing both starting pitchers James Shields and Carlos Carrasco. Chicago (2-3) looks to bounce-back from their 4-1 loss to Minnesota on Sunday. The White Sox have then played 5 straight games Over the Total after an off day. Chicago has also played 17 of their last 22 games Over the Total after a loss. And in their last 10 games after scoring two runs or less in their last game, the White Sox have played 8 of these games Over the Total. They send out James Shields who allowed one earned run in 5 1/3 innings against the Tigers in his first start of the season. The 35-year old right-hander appeared broken last season in a lost year where he had a 5.85 ERA and 1.60 WHIP — so lets not trust that initial offering this year. Shields was saddled with a 7.50 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .306 when on the road last year. He also had a rough 6.91 ERA in day games last season. The White Sox have played 16 of their last 21 games Over the Total when on the road. They have also played 4 of their last 5 road games Over the Total with Shields on the mound. That does not bode well against this Indians team that has seen the Over go 5-0-1 in their last 6 games against right-handed starting pitchers. |

04-10-17 | Pacers v. 76ers UNDER 211.5 | Top | 120-111 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 39 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Indiana Pacers (701) and the Philadelphia 76ers (702). Indiana (40-40) shot 59.3% from the field — the best offensive effort for them this entire season — en route to their 127-112 win in Orlando on Saturday as a 4.5-point favorite. Regression on the offensive end of the court for this team is very likely. The Pacers score only 102.9 PPG when on the road on 45.3% shooting. They have played 30 of their last 45 games Under the Total after shooting at least 55% from the field. Indiana has also played 4 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 125 points in their last game. And in their last 17 games after a point spread win, the Pacers have played 12 of these games Under the Total. This team still has plenty to play for — they are one game behind the Bucks in the 6th spot in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt but only one game ahead of both the Bulls and the Heat who both own the tie-breaker against them if they do end up with the same record after Wednesday. So this Indiana team could still manage to be on the outside looking in with these playoffs. Moving forward, they have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. And in their last 8 road games against teams with a losing record at home, the Pacers have played 7 of these games Under the Total. |

04-09-17 | Kings v. Ducks UNDER 5 | 3-4 | Loss | -104 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
At 8:35 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Kings (67) and the Anaheim Ducks (68). Anaheim (45-23-10) has won three straight as well as eight of their last ten contests with their 4-0 shutout over the Blackhawks on Thursday. The Under is then 15-6-6 in the Ducks’ last 27 games after a victory. The Under is also 16-7-5 in Anaheim’s last 28 games after allowing two goals or less in their last contest. Additionally, the Under is 7-1-5 in their last 13 games when playing with two days of rest. And in their last 7 games at home, the Ducks have played 5 of these games Under the Total. |

04-09-17 | Blue Jays v. Rays UNDER 8 | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
At 1:10 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Blue Jays (965) and the Tampa Bay Rays (966) listing both starting pitchers Marco Estrada and Jake Odorizzi. Tampa Bay (4-2) won the third game of this series last night with their 3-2 victory over the Blue Jays. The Under is then 6-0-2 in the Rays’ last 8 games after a victory. The Rays have also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total at home. They send out Jake Odorizzi who allowed four runs in 6 innings of work in his first start of the season against the Yankees. “Eggs” was more effective at home last season where he had a 3.55 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .237 as compared to his 3.84 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and .245 opponent’s batting average when on the road. Tampa Bay has played 4 straight games Under the Total with Odorizzi facing a fellow AL East opponent. He should fare well against this Blue Jays team that has seen the Under go a decisive 25-8-1 in their last 34 road games against right-handed starting pitchers. |

At 7:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Bucks (709) and the Philadelphia 76ers (710). Milwaukee (40-39) has lost three straight games with their 104-89 loss in Indiana on Thursday. The Bucks have then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Additionally, Milwaukee has played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total when on the road. And in their last 11 games against Eastern Conference opponents, the Bucks have played 8 of these games Under the Total. |

04-08-17 | Blue Jays v. Rays UNDER 7.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 1 h 1 m | Show | |
At 6:10 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Blue Jays (925) and the Tampa Bay Rays (926) listing both starting pitchers Aaron Sanchez and his Archer. Tampa Bay (3-2) won the opening game of this series last night by a 10-8 score. The Rays have then seen the Under go 5-0-2 in their last 7 games after a victory, The Under is also 5-1-1 in Tampa Bay’s last 7 games after scoring at least five runs in their last game — and the Under is 10-4-1 in the Rays’ last 15 games after allowing at least five runs in their last contest. They send out Archer who allowed only two earned runs in 7 innings of work in his first start against the Yankees this season. The right-hander had a down year last season with a 4.02 ERA — but he was very good at home all season where he had a 2.65 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .215. Archer did reduce his walk rate after the month of June last season and it was very encouraging that his 3.25 ERA in the second half of the season nearly matched his 3.23 ERA in the second half of his strong 2015 campaign. The Rays have played 12 of their last 16 games Under the Total with Archer pitching at home. Furthermore, the Under is 24-8-1 in Tampa Bay’s last 33 road games against right-handed starting pitchers. |

04-08-17 | Yankees v. Orioles UNDER 8 | 4-5 | Loss | -102 | 1 h 14 m | Show | |
At 4:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing the Under the Total in the game between the New York Yankees (921) and the Baltimore Orioles (922) listing both starting pitchers Masahiro Tanaka and Kevin Gausman. Baltimore (3-0) won the opening game of this series last night with their 6-5 victory over the Yankees. The Orioles have then seen the Under go 21-8-1 in their last 30 games after scoring at least five runs in their last game.

Additionally, the Under is 14-4-2 in the Orioles’ last 20 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. They send out Kevin Gausman who pitched well through four innings in his first start against the Blue Jays before allowing two runs in 5 1/3 innings overall before being removed from that game. The right-hander was outstanding at home last season where he had a 2.67 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .235 as compared to his 4.32 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .281. The Under is a decisive 20-8-2 in the Orioles’ last 30 home games with Gausman on the mound — and that includes the Under going 5-1-2 in their last 8 home games with Gausman facing a team with a losing record. Additionally, Baltimore has played 10 of their last 11 games Under the Total with Gausman facing the Yankees. |

04-07-17 | Lightning v. Canadiens UNDER 5 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 17 m | Show |
At 7:30 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Tampa Bay Lightning (51) and the Montreal Canadiens (52). Expect a playoff atmosphere in Montreal tonight in this contest — and that should result in a higher reliance on fundamental defense and more physical play. Tampa Bay (40-37-7) remains alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race after their big 4-1 win in Toronto last night. The Lightning need to win out tonight and in their final regular season contest on Sunday while getting some help — but it certainly remains possible. Tampa Bay has played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a victory — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after allowing two goals or less in their last game. The Under is also 6-1-1 in the Lightning’s last 8 games when playing without a day of rest. They turn to goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy who was outstanding last night by stopping 26 of the 27 shots he has faced. The Russian goaltender has a 2.01 Goals-Against-Average and .940 save percentage in three pressured-packed games this month. He has also been better on the road where he has a 2.44 GAA and .924 save percentage as compared to his 2.78 GAA and .911 save percentage when at home. The Lightning has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total when on the road. This team is missing pieces on offense with Tyler Johnson questionable with a lower body injury and Steven Stamkos declaring that he will not be able to come back from his injury until the playoffs. Additionally, Tampa Bay has played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total against fellow Atlantic Division opponents. |

At 10:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Mavericks (515) and the Los Angeles Clippers (516). Dallas (32-45) has lost five of their last six games with their 98-87 loss to the Kings in Sacramento last night as a 2.5-point favorite. The Mavericks have then played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Dallas has also played 17 of their last 24 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss on the road. Moving forward, the Mavs have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against teams with a losing record. And in their last 7 games against Western Conference opponents, Dallas has played 6 of these games Under the Total. |

04-04-17 | Blackhawks v. Avalanche OVER 5.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 104 | 4 h 23 m | Show |
At 9:00 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Blackhawks (19) and the Colorado Avalanche (20). Chicago (50-22-6) looks to bounce-back from their 3-2 loss at home against Boston on Sunday. The Blackhawks have played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a loss by one goal on their home ice. The Over is also 26-10-15 in Chicago’s last 51 games after scoring two goals or less in their last game. Now the Blackhawks go on the road where the Over is 16-6-4 in their last 26 games. The Over is also 9-2-2 in their last 13 road games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on home ice. It looks like backup goalie Scott Darling will be between the pipes tonight. While Darling has a strong 2.15 Goals-Against-Average and .932 save percentage at home, those numbers rise to a 2.52 GAA and .914 save percentage when on the road this season. Furthermore, the Over is 11-2-3 in the Blackhawks’ last 16 games against fellow Central Division opponents. |

04-04-17 | Nets v. 76ers UNDER 222.5 | Top | 141-118 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 21 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Brooklyn Nets (701) and the Philadelphia 76ers (702). Brooklyn (18-59) has won two straight games with their 91-82 win over Atlanta on Sunday. The Nets have then seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a straight-up win. Brooklyn has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. This Nets team is playing better basketball as of late fueled by improved play on the defensive end of the court. The have the best statistical defense in the entire league over the last two weeks while allowing their last five opponents to shoot just 41.3% from the field. But this Brooklyn team is also making only 29% of their 3-point shots over that span. Moving forward, the Nets have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. Brooklyn has also played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range. |

04-03-17 | North Carolina v. Gonzaga UNDER 154 | 71-65 | Win | 100 | 24 h 34 m | Show | |
At 9:20 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the North Carolina Tar Heels (601) and the Gonzaga Bulldogs (602). North Carolina (32-7) returns to the NCAA Championship Game after they survived a 77-76 win over Oregon on Saturday night. The Tar Heels won this game with defense as they held the Ducks to just 37.9% shooting while making only 36.8% of their own shots. Surprisingly, North Carolina made 8 of 21 shots from behind the arc for a 38.1% clip which was much better than the 30% mark from downtown they had put up in their three previous NCAA Tourney games. It was missing 30 of their 47 shots inside the arc for a subpar 36.2% clip that hampered the Tar Heels’ offense. Expect more clanks off the rim from both teams given the pressure of the moment. As it is, the Under is 10-3-1 in North Carolina’s last 14 games after a straight-up win. The Tar Heels have also played 14 of their last 20 games Under the Total when playing just their second game in a week. Moving forward, they will be facing a Gonzaga team that is best in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency while allowing only 61.2 PPG. North Carolina has played 6 straight games Under the Total against teams who do not allow more than 64 PPG. The Bulldogs also commit only 17 personal fouls per game — and the Tar Heels have played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total against teams that do not commit more than 17 personal fouls per game. |

04-03-17 | Blue Jays v. Orioles UNDER 8.5 | 2-3 | Win | 105 | 1 h 22 m | Show | |
At 3:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Blue Jays (965) and the Baltimore Orioles (966) listing both starting pitchers Marco Estrada and Kevin Gausman. Toronto (0-0) closed out last season seeing the Under go a decisive 25-10-1 in their last 36 games on the road away from the Rogers’ Centre. The Blue Jays have also played 13 of their last 16 games Under the Total against fellow AL East opponents. They send out Marco Estrada who was 9-0 with a 3.48 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP last season. The right-hander was more effective on the road last season where he had a 3.39 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .193 which were all better marks than their 3.57 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .213. The Blue Jays have played 9 of their last 12 opening games of a new series Under the Total with Estrada on the hill. And the Orioles closed out last season with the Under going 21-4-1 in their last 26 home games against right-handed starting pitchers. |

04-02-17 | Coyotes v. Kings UNDER 5 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 60 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Arizona Coyotes (21) and the Los Angeles Kings (22). Los Angeles (37-33-3) staved off elimination from the playoff race earlier today when Nashville lost in St. Louis by a 4-1 score. So while the Kings need to win out in their rest of their five games — and the Predators must lose their remaining three contests — this proud organization remains alive in the Western Conference playoff hunt so expect a top notch performance from them tonight. Los Angeles has won two straight games after their 2-0 shutout win in Vancouver on Friday. That came on the heels of their surprising 4-1 win in Calgary on Wednesday (well, it was surprising to us who had the Flames in that game). These Kings are playing physical, tough defense buoyed by the fact that they have their elite goaltender Jonathan Quick back on the ice playing exceptional hockey. Quick retains a sensational 1.56 Goals-Against-Average along with a .938 save percentage in his seven starts at home in the Staples Center this season. Moving forward, the Kings have played 11 of their last 14 games Under the Total after not allowing more than one goal in two straight games. The Under is also 19-8-11 in their last 38 games after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. Additionally, the Under is both 3-1-1 in their last 5 games on home ice as well as a decisive 58-26-15 in their last 99 games at home against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. Furthermore, not only have the Kings played 4 straight Unders when playing with one day of rest but they have also seen the Under go 21-7-10 in their 38 situations where they were playing their fourth game in six days. And in their last 59 games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% overall, the Under is 37-14-8. |

At 3:35 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Mavericks (505) and the Milwaukee Bucks (506). Milwaukee (40-36) has won six of their last seven games with their 108-105 victory over the Pistons on Friday. The Bucks have then played 10 of their last 14 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Moving forward, Milwaukee has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total on their home court. The Bucks have also played 6 of their last 8 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. And in their last 6 games against teams with a losing record, Milwaukee has played 5 of these games Under the Total. |

04-01-17 | Oregon v. North Carolina UNDER 153.5 | Top | 76-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
At 8:45 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Oregon Ducks (813) and the North Carolina Tar Heels (814). Oregon (33-5) held Kansas to just 35% from the field en route to their 74-60 win last Saturday. The Ducks flexed their defensive muscles in that game by holding a potent Jayhawks offense that had averaged 96 PPG in their three previous Tournament games to scoring just those 60 points in 64 possessions. In the Ducks’ four tournament games, they have averaged 66 possessions so it is likely that head coach Dana Altman will look to slow this game down where both teams do not have more than 65 possessions apiece — and that makes the Under look rather appetizing with the Total set in the low 150s. Oregon has played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total with the Total set in the 150-159.5 point range. The Ducks have also played 12 of their last 14 games played on a neutral court with the Total set in the 150-159.5 point range. And while the Tar Heels average 66 shots per game, Oregon has played 12 of their last 15 games Under the Total against teams that average at least 62 shots per game — and that includes 7 straight Unders when those games are the road. |

04-01-17 | South Carolina v. Gonzaga UNDER 137.5 | 73-77 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
At 6:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the South Carolina Gamecocks (811) and the Gonzaga Bulldogs (812). South Carolina (26-10) held Florida to just 41.7% shooting en route to their 77-70 victory last Sunday as 3-point underdogs in that game. The Gamecocks have then played a decisive 45 of their last 64 games Under the Total after a point spread victory — and that includes the Under cashing tickets in thirteen of their last eighteen games after a point spread win. Frank Martin’s team will look to make this game into a grind. While the Bulldogs hold their opponents to just a 36.5% shooting mark, South Carolina has played 20 of their last 28 games Under the Total against teams with a defensive field goal percentage of 42% or less. Furthermore, the Gamecocks have played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total against teams outside the SEC. South Carolina has also played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total when playing on a neutral court as an underdog. And in their last 34 games as an underdog getting less than 7 points, the Under is 25-8-1 for the Gamecocks. |

03-31-17 | Rockets v. Warriors UNDER 231.5 | Top | 98-107 | Win | 100 | 4 h 21 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (521) and the Golden State Warriors (522). Houston (51-24) looks to bounce-back from their 117-101 loss in Portland last night as a 1-point favorite. The Rockets have 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. This is a depleted team with Ryan Anderson out with an ankle and Nene resting which more pressure on James Harden who will play but is nursing a wrist injury. As it is, the Under is 7-1-1 in Houston’s last 9 games on the road. And in their last 6 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court, the Under is 5-0-1 for the Rockets. |

At 8:00 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (711) and the TCU Horned Frogs (712). Georgia Tech (21-15) held Cal-State Bakersfield to just 35.0% on Tuesday en route to their 76-61 victory as 3.5-point favorites to put them in the Finals of the NIT. The Under is then 5-2-1 in the Yellow Jackets’ last 8 games after a point spread victory. Josh Pastner’s team is playing outstanding defense in this tournament after finishing 2nd in the ACC in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. But this Georgia Tech team can struggle to find baskets after finishing last in the ACC in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency. This team shot just 43.3% from the field against the Roadrunners. Moving forward, the Yellow Jackets have played 13 of their last 18 games Under the Total against teams outside the ACC. Georgia Tech has also played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total when playing on a neutral court. And in their last 26 games as an underdog getting less than 7 points, the Under is 19-6-1. |

At 9:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (515) and the San Antonio Spurs (516). Golden State (60-14) won their eighth straight game (all without Kevin Durant) with their 113-106 upset win at Houston as a 1.5-point underdog last night. The Warriors have then played 11 of their last 12 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Golden State has also played 5 straight games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Additionally, the Warriors have played 7 straight games Under the Total against Western Conference opponents. And in their last 4 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court, Golden State has played all 4 games Under the Total. |

At 7:35 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Phoenix Suns (767) and the Atlanta Hawks (768). Phoenix (22-52) has dropped eight straight games with their 120-106 loss in Charlotte on Sunday as a 13-point underdog. The Suns are playing out the string out of the playoff hunt and decimated with injuries. Phoenix has lost both Tyson Chandler and Brandon Knight to season-ending injuries — and now Leandro Barbosa is questionable with a hamstring injury tonight. The Suns shot 50.6% from the field in their defeat two days ago — but they look to be a prime suspect for a flat effort when considering this is their sixth straight game on the road. As it is, Phoenix has played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, the Suns have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss. And in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record, Phoenix has played 4 of these games Under the Total. |

At 7:00 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Cal-State Bakersfield Roadrunners (777) and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (778). Georgia Tech (20-15) reached the NIT Semifinals with their 74-66 win at Mississippi last Tuesday. The Yellow Jackets have then seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a point spread win. The team is getting it done on defense as they held the Rebels to just a 39.7% shooting percentage after finishing 2nd in the ACC in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. Now first-year head coach Josh Pastner takes his team to Madison Square Garden for the Semifinals of the NIT — and the Yellow Jackets have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when playing on a neutral court. Georgia Tech has also played 20 of their last 27 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 4 games as a favorite laying less than 7 points, the Yellow Jackets have played all 4 games Under the Total. |

03-26-17 | South Carolina v. Florida UNDER 136.5 | 77-70 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
At 2:20 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the South Carolina Gamecocks (721) and the Florida Gators (722). South Carolina (25-10) held the Baylor Bears to just 30.4% shooting in their 70-50 win on Friday as a 3-point underdog. The Gamecocks have then played a decisive 45 of their last 63 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. This will be the third meeting between these SEC rivals — and this rubber match shapes up to be a low-scoring grind. The Gators won the last meeting between these two teams by an 81-66 score in Gainesville back on February 21st. Florida scored at a blistering 1.16 Points-Per-Possession rate while making 9 of their 19 shots from behind the arc. Expect better perimeter defense from this Gamecocks team that is 9th in the nation by holding their opponents to just a 30.2% mark from behind the arc. Regression also appears likely for this South Carolina team on offense. The Gamecocks are making 54% of their shots inside the arc after only shooting 44% of their 2-point shots in SEC play. Moving forward, South Carolina has played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total as an underdog on a neutral court. And in their last 33 games as an underdog of less than 7 points, the Under is 25-7-1. |

At 6:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Xavier Musketeers (513) and the Gonzaga Bulldogs (514). Gonzaga (35-1) held West Virginia to just 26.7% on Thursday in their 61-58 victory. The Bulldogs have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Gonzaga is playing outstanding defense in this tournament as their three opponents are shooting just 33.3% from the field while scoring at just a 0.85 Points-Per-Possession rate. Most impressively, the Bulldogs are holding their opponents to just 37% shooting inside the arc. Gonzaga needs their defense to continue to be outstanding when considering that they are shooting just 29% from behind the arc in this tournament. Moving forward, the Bulldogs have played 19 of their last 27 games Under the Total against teams outside the West Coast Conference. And in their last 8 games played on a neutral court, Gonzaga has played 6 of these games Under the Total. |

At 9:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the UCLA Bruins (875) and the Kentucky Wildcats (876). UCLA (31-4) held the Cincinnati Bearcats to just 44.8% shooting to advance to the Sweet 16 with their 79-67 victory as a 4-point favorite. The Bruins have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. The defensive struggles of this team is a tired meme that continues to offer us great value with the Under for Steve Alford’s team. This UCLA defense has improved since Alford installed a tricky 3-2 zone that presents opponents a challenging unique look. Save for their two games against Arizona and what the Bearcats shot against UCLA was their worst defensive performance in ten previous contests. The Bruins have seen the Under go 3-1-1 in their last 5 games against teams outside the Pac-12. And in their last 7 games played on a neutral court, UCLA has played 5 of these games Under the Total. |

03-19-17 | Cincinnati v. UCLA UNDER 154 | Top | 67-79 | Win | 100 | 4 h 16 m | Show |
At 9:40 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Cincinnati Bearcats (731) and the UCLA Bruins (732). UCLA (30-4) enters this game coming off a hot shooting night where they nailed 62.7% from the field in their 97-80 victory over Kent State. The Bruins have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 90 points in their last game. UCLA has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Steve Alford’s team has the reputation for having a mediocre defense — but they have held their last five opponents to just a 42.5% shooting mark. The Bruins will be facing a Bearcats team that will be looking to slow the pace of this game way down — and they hold their opponents to just 60.8 PPG. UCLA has played 17 of their last 22 road games Under the Total against teams that do not allow more than 64 PPG. The Bruins have also played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total as a favorite. And while both teams have scored 75 points in the last two games for UCLA, that helps place the Under in a historical angle that has been 79% effective since 1997. In games played on a neutral court, when teams who score at least 76 PPG (UCLA: 90.6 PPG) who have played two straight games where both teams scored at least 75 points and now faces a team that does not allow more than 63 PPG, these games then finished Under the Total in 42 of the last 53 situations where these conditions applied. |

Florida State (26-8) has won three of their last four games with their 86-80 win over the Florida Gulf Coast as an 11.5-point favorite on Thursday. While the Seminoles had a willing dance partner for their preferred fast pace in that contest, that will certainly not be the case against this Musketeers team that will be looking to make this game into a slog. As it is, the Under is 3-0-1 in Florida State’s last 4 games after a straight-up win — and the Under is 10-4-1 in their last 15 games after a point spread loss.
