04-23-18 | Thunder +4.5 v. Jazz | Top | 96-113 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 6 m | Show |
7* Thunder/Jazz Game 4 *HEAVY HITTER* on Oklahoma City +4.5 The Key: The Oklahoma City Thunder have their backs against the wall tonight down 2-1 in this series. Look for them to respond in a big way with an upset victory in Salt Lake City. Russell Westbrook guaranteed that Ricky Rubio would not have another great game like he did in Game 3 out of nowhere, and I look for a big game from Westbrook in this one. The Thunder are 35-19 ATS in their last 54 road games revenging a loss of 10 points or more. Take Oklahoma City. |

04-23-18 | Marlins v. Dodgers -1.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
6* National League *CA$H COW* on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-120) The Key: Walker Buehler is the top prospect in the Dodgers’ farm system. He gets his chance at a spot start here in place of Rich Hill (blister). Buehler is 1-0 with a 2.10 ERA in 3 starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City. In 13 innings, he had 16 strikeouts and only 4 walks. He is up against the Marlins, who are 5-16 and hitting .223 and scoring 3.3 RPG as a team this season. 13 of Miami’s 16 losses have come by 2 runs or more. The Dodgers are 6-1 in their last 7 games with 5 of the 6 wins coming by 2 runs or more. The Dodgers are 52-15 in home games over the last 2 seasons. Los Angeles is 40-12 in its last 52 games vs. a left-handed starter. Miami is 6-21 in its last 27 road games. The Mariners are 1-6 in their last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter. Take Los Angeles on the Run Line. |

04-22-18 | Raptors v. Wizards UNDER 218.5 | Top | 98-106 | Win | 100 | 28 h 38 m | Show |
7* NBA 1st Round Total of the Year on Raptors/Wizards UNDER 218.5 The Key: The price is right to back the UNDER in this game between the Raptors and Wizards. The over is 3-0 through the first 3 games, which has forced oddsmakers to set a total higher than it should be for Game 4 knowing that the public will be betting the over again. The total was only 213.5 exactly for the first two games in this series, and now it’s 218.5 for Game 4, a 5-point adjustment. As a series goes on teams get more familiar with one another and that favors defense. Both teams have shot lights out thus far, but the points won’t be as easy to come by in Game 4. Washington is 10-2 UNDER after scoring 105 points or more in 3 straight games this season. Bets on the UNDER on road teams where the total is 210 to 219.5 a good team that outscores their opponents by 3 or more points per game, after 4 straight games where both teams scored 100 points or more are 40-13 since 1996. Take the UNDER. |

04-22-18 | Marlins v. Brewers -1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 120 | 4 h 6 m | Show | |
6* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 (+120) The Key: It has been free money this season fading the Marlins on the Run Line. The Marlins are just 5-15 this season with 12 of their 15 losses coming by 2 runs or more. Junior Guerra is 1-0 with a 0.82 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in his 2 starts this season and should also shut down this weak Marlins lineup. Caleb Smith is 0-2 with a 6.90 ERA and 1.98 WHIP in 4 starts for the Marlins this year. Take Milwaukee on the Run Line. |
|||||||
04-21-18 | Twins v. Rays -130 | 1-10 | Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
6* Saturday MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on Tampa Bay Rays -130 The Key: The Tampa Bay Rays are playing well. They are 3-1 in their last 4 games and have scored a combined 22 runs in those contests. Blake Snell finished strong last season, had a great spring training, and is off to a great start this season. Snell is 2-1 with a 2.95 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 4 starts with 26 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings. Snell is 1-0 with a 0.75 ERA and 0.83 WHIP in 2 home starts. Kyle Gibson is a below-average starter in this league. And Gibson is 1-4 with a 7.05 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in 6 lifetime starts vs. Tampa Bay. The Twins are 2-8 in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of less than 40%. The Rays are 7-1 in Snell’s last 8 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Take Tampa Bay. |
|||||||
04-21-18 | Blazers +7.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 123-131 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 45 m | Show |
7* Blazers/Pelicans Game 4 *HEAVY HITTER* on Portland +7.5 The Key: This line suggest that the Portland Trail Blazers will just pack it in after starting down 0-3 in this series. But I highly doubt that will be the case. The price is right to back them as 7.5-point dogs in Game 4. They were only 4-point dogs in Game 3, so this is a 3.5-point adjustment. It’s enough to warrant a wager on the Blazers here Saturday. Bets against home favorites who have beaten the spread by 54 or more points in their last 10 games against an opponent that went under the total by 48 or more points in their last 10 games are 42-13 ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take Portland. |
|||||||
04-20-18 | Celtics v. Bucks UNDER 205.5 | Top | 92-116 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 46 m | Show |
7* Celtics/Bucks Game 3 *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 205.5 The Key: The Bucks shot 59.7% while the Celtics shot 53.3% in Game 2. That’s not going to happen again. It was a high scoring game and it made the oddsmakers go from setting totals of 199 in Games 1 and 2 to 205.5 in Game 3. That’s a 6.5-point adjustment and the reason that the price is right now to back the UNDER in Game 3. The UNDER is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in Milwaukee. Boston is 11-2 UNDER in Friday road games over the last 2 seasons. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
04-20-18 | Mariners v. Rangers -115 | 6-2 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
6* AL West *CA$H COW* on Texas Rangers -115 The Key: Texas had yesterday off while Seattle lost its 3rd straight game to Houston, which is a nice rest advantage for the Rangers. The Mariners have scored 2 runs or fewer in 5 consecutive games. Mike Minor resurrected his career in Kansas City last year, and he’s pitching well thus far in 2018. He is 1-1 with a 4.59 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 3 starts, including 1-1 with a 2.53 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in 2 home starts. Minor sports a 1.29 ERA in one lifetime start vs. Seattle. Felix Hernandez is a shell of his former self. He gave up 6 runs in 3 1/3 innings in his last start against Texas. Hernandez is 2-2 with a 5.49 ERA in 4 starts this season, including 1-1 with a 10.24 ERA in 2 road starts. Seattle is 3-13 after batting .200 or worse over a 3-game span over the last 2 seasons. The Rangers are 11-3 in their last 14 games following an off day. Take Texas. |
|||||||
04-19-18 | Red Sox v. Angels -105 | 8-2 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
6* Red Sox/Angels AL *BAILOUT* on Los Angeles -105 The Key: The Los Angeles Angels will be hungry to avoid the sweep by the Red Sox after getting embarrassed in the first two games of this series by a combined score of 19-1. Look for them to get their bats going against the erratic Eduardo Rodriquez. He faced the Angels once in his career, and it did not go well as he gave up 7 earned runs and 9 base runners in 1 2/3 innings of an 11-1 loss. Nick Tropeano will be making his 2nd start this season. His first was a gem as he pitched 6 2/3 shutout innings in a 7-1 win at Kansas City. The Red Sox are 1-6 in Rodriquez’s last 7 starts. The Angels are 8-0 in the last 8 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Los Angeles is 6-0 in its last 6 during game 3 of a series. The Angels are 7-1 in Tropeano’s last 8 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Take Los Angeles. |
|||||||
04-19-18 | Warriors v. Spurs +4.5 | Top | 110-97 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
7* Warriors/Spurs Game 3 *HEAVY HITTER* on San Antonio +4.5 The Key: This will be a ‘win one for the gipper’ type situation tonight. Greg Popovich just lost his wife yesterday. His players will rally around him and put forth a big effort. On the other side, the Warriors will feel bad for him and won’t be on their ‘A’ game. It’s really the perfect storm here for the Spurs to get a win and cover. Golden State is 3-11 ATS off 2 or more consecutive home wins this season. San Antonio is 43-21 ATS in its last 64 home games off a blowout loss by 15 points or more. The Spurs are 33-8 SU & 26-14-1 ATS at home this season. The Warriors are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than 60%. The Spurs are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. Take San Antonio. |
|||||||
04-18-18 | Indians -118 v. Twins | 1-2 | Loss | -118 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
6* Indians/Twins Puerto Rico *CA$H COW* on Cleveland -118 The Key: The fans in Puerto Rico are rooting for Francisco Lindor and the Indians in this 2-game set. That was evident when Lindor hit a homer that broke the game open in a 6-1 victory last night. Now the Indians have the edge on the mound once again with Carlos Carrasco taking the ball. Carrasco is 3-0 with a 3.48 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in his 3 starts this season. He went 3-0 with a 0.92 ERA in his 3 starts against the Twins last season, giving up just 2 earned runs in 19 2/3 innings while striking out 30 batters. Jose Berrios is just 2-2 with a 5.31 ERA in 4 lifetime starts vs. Cleveland. Barrios is 0-9 against the money line in night games played away from home over the last 2 seasons. The Indians are 22-5 in Carrasco’s last 27 starts vs. AL Central teams. Cleveland is 15-3 in its last 18 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Take Cleveland. |
|||||||
04-18-18 | Pacers v. Cavs -7.5 | Top | 97-100 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 22 m | Show |
7* Pacers/Cavs Game 2 *HEAVY HITTER* on Cleveland -7.5 The Key: For the first time in his career, Lebron James is down 0-1 in an opening round playoff series. In fact, it’s the first time ever that he has even trailed in an opening round series. Look for James to rally the troops tonight and come forth with a big effort after an embarrassing Game 1 showing. The Cavs trailed by 20 points before James even attempted a shot on Sunday. He will be much more aggressive from the opening tip in this one, which is when the Cavs are at their best. Bets on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off 2 or more consecutive home losses, in April games are 37-11 ATS since 1996. Indiana is 6-14 ATS off a win by 10 points or more this season. Take Cleveland. |
|||||||
04-17-18 | Bucks +2.5 v. Celtics | Top | 106-120 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 20 m | Show |
7* Bucks/Celtics TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on Milwaukee +2.5 The Key: Bets on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 after 2 or more consecutive road losses, well rested team playing 6 or less games in 14 days are 72-26 ATS since 1996. The Bucks are 15-4 ATS off 2 or more straight road losses over the last 3 years. Take Milwaukee. |
|||||||
04-17-18 | Cardinals v. Cubs -119 | 5-3 | Loss | -119 | 5 h 20 m | Show | |
6* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on Chicago Cubs -119 The Key: We are getting a great price on the Chicago Cubs at home tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals. It’s not often you can back them as this small of a home favorite. The main reason is because Tyler Chatwood is little-known, but he has been great everywhere he has pitched outside of Coors Field. He is 21-18 with a 3.28 ERA in 321 1/3 innings pitched away from home. That’s a big reason the Cubs went out and got him this offseason. Adam Wainwright is far past his prime and just doesn’t have it anymore. He is 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 2 starts this season. The Cubs are 8-1 in their last 9 meetings with the Cardinals, including 5-0 in their last 5 home meetings. Take Chicago. |
|||||||
04-16-18 | Heat v. 76ers UNDER 216 | Top | 113-103 | Push | 0 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
7* Heat/76ers NBA *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 216 The Key: Both teams really shot lights out from the 3-point line in Game 1, which led to a shootout and 233 combined points. But that is unlikely to happen again. The 76ers made 18 3-pointers and shot 64.3% from beyond the arc, while the Heat made 12 and shot 46.2%. It was a rare high scoring game in this series. The previous 4 meetings between the Heat and 76ers saw 207 or fewer combined points. Miami is 23-12 to the UNDER in road games when revenging a loss over the last 2 seasons. Philadelphia is 32-12 UNDER in its last 44 home games off 2 consecutive covers as a favorite. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
04-16-18 | Marlins v. Yankees -1.5 | 1-12 | Win | 100 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
6* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on New York Yankees -1.5 (-125) The Key: The New York Yankees have a big edge on the mound tonight with Luis Severino over Caleb Smith. They also have one of the best lineups in baseball, while the Marlins have one of the worst. The Marlins are just 4-11 this season and 10 of their losses have come by multiple runs. Severino had a sub-3.00 ERA last season and struck out 230 batters, quickly becoming one of the elite starters in baseball. Smith has never won a game and has a 6.47 ERA in 32 big league innings. Take New York on the Run Line. |
|||||||
04-15-18 | Jazz v. Thunder -3.5 | Top | 108-116 | Win | 100 | 51 h 34 m | Show |
7* Jazz/Thunder NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Oklahoma City -3.5 The Key: It’s no secret that the Oklahoma City Thunder have had the Utah Jazz’ number. The Thunder are 6-1 in the last 7 meetings. But that only tells half the story. The Jazz simply cannot win in Oklahoma City. The Thunder are 14-0 in their last 14 home meetings with the Jazz and are winning by nearly 15 PPG on average. Take Oklahoma City. |
|||||||
04-15-18 | Pirates -145 v. Marlins | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 1 h 7 m | Show | |
6* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on Pittsburgh Pirates -145 The Key: The Pittsburgh Pirates have a big edge on the mound today with Ivan Nova over Jose Urena. They are also the better team at 10-4 compared to 4-10 for the Marlins, who are probably the worst team in baseball. Ivan Nova has never lost to the Marlins, going 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 0.27 WHIP in 2 lifetime starts against them. Both of those starts came in 2017 as he pitched 15 shutout innings while allowing only 4 base runners. Urena is 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA in 3 starts this season. Urena is also 1-1 with a 5.90 ERA in 2 lifetime starts vs. Pittsburgh. Nova is 21-7 against the money line in his career when favored by -100 to -150 on the road. The Pirates are 6-0 in their last 6 road games vs. a right-handed starter. The Marlins are 0-5 in Urena’s last 5 starts. Miami is 0-5 in Urena’s last 5 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Take Pittsburgh. |

04-14-18 | Pelicans v. Blazers -5.5 | Top | 97-95 | Loss | -105 | 31 h 34 m | Show |
7* Pelicans/Blazers NBA *BAILOUT* on Portland -5.5 The Key: The Portland Trail Blazers have been absolutely unbeatable at home down the stretch of the season. They have gone 21-3 SU & 19-4-1 ATS in their last 24 home games. They have also upped their game against the better teams in the league. The Blazers are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning record. Portland is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 games when playing on 2 days’ rest as well. The favorite is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings, and the home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings as well. Take Portland. |

04-14-18 | Diamondbacks v. Dodgers OVER 7 | 9-1 | Win | 101 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
6* Saturday MLB *Total* Annihilator on Dodgers/Diamondbacks OVER 7 The Key: I hit the OVER 6.5 with ease last night in a 15-run outburst between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. I’m back on the OVER 7 tonight. These teams have combined for 7 or more runs in 5 of their last 7 meetings. Taijuan Walker and Rich Hill haven’t had the greatest of success in their careers against their opponents. Walker is 2-2 with a 6.07 ERA in 6 lifetime starts vs. Los Angeles, while Hill is 1-6 with a 4.98 ERA in 11 lifetime starts vs. Arizona. The OVER is 4-0 in Hill’s last 4 starts against the Diamondbacks. Take the OVER. |
|||||||
04-13-18 | Diamondbacks v. Dodgers OVER 6.5 | Top | 8-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
7* Diamondbacks/Dodgers NL West *BAILOUT* on OVER 6.5 The Key: This is a very low total for two of the better offenses in the National League. And it’s not like Zack Greinke and Kenta Maeda are exactly lockdown starters. Greinke has been roughed up this season with a 5.06 ERA through 2 starts. He is 4-5 with a 3.86 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 12 lifetime starts vs. Arizona. Maeda is 3-3 with a 4.72 ERA in 11 lifetime starts vs. Arizona. The Diamondbacks are 16-4 OVER following an off day over the last 2 seasons. They are 35-15-1 OVER in their last 51 games following an off day dating back further. The OVER is 7-3 in Maeda’s last 10 starts vs. Arizona. Take the OVER. |

04-12-18 | Cardinals -137 v. Reds | Top | 13-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show |
7* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on St. Louis Cardinals -137 The Key: The St. Louis Cardinals have a big edge on the mound tonight and should make easy work of the 2-9 Cincinnati Reds. This is a team Michael Wacha certainly looks forward to facing every time out. Wacha is 8-1 with a 2.31 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 14 lifetime starts vs. Cincinnati. He won both starts against the Reds last season while limiting them to 2 earned runs in 12 innings. Sal Romano is 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in two starts for the Reds this season. The Cardinals are 21-7 in Wacha’s last 28 starts vs. a team with a losing record. St. Louis is 40-18 in its last 58 games vs. a team with a winning percentage below 40%. The Reds are 1-9 in their last 10 home games. The Cardinals are 11-1 in Wacha’s last 12 starts vs. Reds. The Cardinals are 5-0 in their last 5 meetings in Cincinnati. Take St. Louis. |

04-11-18 | Wizards -5.5 v. Magic | Top | 92-101 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 12 m | Show |
7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Washington Wizards -5.5 The Key: The only chance the Wizards have of moving up from their current 8th position is to win tonight. And moving up is important because they want the 7th seed and to face the Celtics in the first round. That is possibly considering the Heat face the Raptors tonight and they need the Heat to lose. The Magic have mentally checked out and won’t offer much resistance tonight. Take Washington. |
|||||||
04-11-18 | Diamondbacks -113 v. Giants | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 52 m | Show | |
6* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on Arizona Diamondbacks -113 The Key: The Arizona Diamondbacks have a big edge on the mound tonight and should be bigger favorites over the San Francisco Giants as a result. Robbie Ray pitched like a Cy Young contender on the road last season and is off to a great start on the road this year, limiting the Cardinals to one run in 6 innings while striking out 9 in his last turn. Ray is 4-1 with a 2.52 ERA in 8 lifetime starts vs. San Francisco. Andrew Suarez will be making his major league debut tonight for the Giants, and it won’t go well for him opposite Ray. The Diamondbacks are 18-5 in Ray’s last 23 starts, including 6-1 in his last 7 road starts. Take Arizona. |
|||||||
04-10-18 | A's v. Dodgers -121 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
6* A’s/Dodgers MLB *BAILOUT* on Los Angeles -121 The Key: It’s not often you will get the opportunity to back the Los Angeles Dodgers as only -121 home favorites this season. Especially against a team as poor as the 4-7 Oakland A’s. We’ll take advantage of this price here Tuesday. The A’s may have the better starter on the mound with Manaea over Ryu, but the Dodgers have a significant edge at the plate and in their bullpen. The A’s are 0-3 against left-handed starters this season and scoring just 1.7 RPG in those games. Oakland is 21-52 as a road underdog of +100 or higher over the last 2 seasons. The Dodgers are 17-2 in home games after allowing one run or less in a win over a division opponent over the last 3 seasons. Los Angeles is 50-13 in home games off a win over the last 2 years. The A’s are 14-51 in their last 65 road games vs. a left-handed starter. Take Los Angeles. |

04-10-18 | Hornets +3 v. Pacers | Top | 119-93 | Win | 100 | 5 h 19 m | Show |
7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Charlotte Hornets +3 The Key: There are so many good situations favoring the Hornets here tonight. For starters, this is a home-and-home situation as they want revenge from a 117-123 home loss to the Pacers on Sunday. Now they get to face them just two days later and in their season finale to boot. The Pacers are locked in to the 5th seed in the East and will be resting starters, which is the key handicap here. They won’t care about winning this game at all. Take Charlotte. |

04-09-18 | Pelicans v. Clippers +8.5 | Top | 113-100 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
7* Pelicans/Clippers ESPN *BAILOUT* on Los Angeles +8.5 The Key: The Los Angeles Clippers are stuck in the 10th spot in the West. They will be drafting in the same spot no matter what as they cannot improve their chances of ping pong balls. What they can do is try and run the Pelicans’ season, which is precisely what they’ll be motivated to do tonight. This line has gotten out of hand and has been adjusted way too far in New Orleans’ favor due to the fact that they need the win more. They are now 8.5-point road favorites tonight. The Pelicans are 5-14 ATS after having won 3 of their last 4 games this season. The Clippers are 24-12 ATS vs. poor defensive teams that allow 106-plus points per game this season. Take Los Angeles. |

6* Monday MLB *Total* Annihilator on Mets/Marlins UNDER 7.5 The Key: Two aces square off tonight in Noha Syndergaard and Jose Urena in what will be a pitcher’s duel in pitcher-friendly Miami. Syndergaard is 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in 5 lifetime starts vs. Miami. Urena is 3-3 with a 2.92 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 6 lifetime starts vs. New York. The UNDER is 16-5 in Syndergaard’s last 21 starts during game 1 of a series. The UNDER is 10-4-1 in Urena’s last 15 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Take the UNDER. |

7* NBA Non-Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Detroit Pistons -6.5 The Key: The Detroit Pistons have really turned it on down the stretch. They are 8-2 SU & 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. They now sit at 38-41 with a chance to get to .500 if they win out, which would be considered a success. The Grizzlies clearly don’t care about winning games as they are just trying to improve their chances of getting the top draft pick. They are just 21-58 on the season with the second-worst record in the league. They have a ton of injuries right now and are basically resting all of their guys, which indicates they are trying to lose. The Pistons are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a losing record. The Grizzlies are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a losing record. Take Detroit. |

6* MLB *Mound Mismatch* on Chicago Cubs -123 The Key: The Chicago Cubs send Jose Quintana to the mound today against the Milwaukee Brewers. This has been a great matchup for Quintana in recent years. Quintana is 2-1 with a 0.90 ERA and 0.73 WHIP in 4 lifetime starts vs. Milwaukee, limiting them to just 3 earned runs in 30 innings. Chase Anderson has allowed 9 earned runs in 15 1/3 innings in his last 3 starts against the Cubs. Chicago is 27-7 in its last 34 road games vs. a right-handed starter. The Cubs are 6-0 in Quintana’s last 6 starts vs. NL Central. The Cubs are 7-2 in their last 9 meetings in Milwaukee. Take Chicago. |

7* Blazers/Spurs Western Conference *BAILOUT* on San Antonio -4.5 The Key: The San Antonio Spurs are fighting for their playoff lives right now. They are in jeopardy of missing the postseason if they were to lose these last few games. So they’ll be locked in, just as they have been for the last several weeks, especially at home. The same cannot be said for the Blazers, who are more worried about staying healthy heading into the playoffs since they’ll be the 3rd seed for sure. The Spurs have handled their business at home, going 8-0 SU & 8-0 ATS in their last 8 home games. Take San Antonio. |

6* Dodgers/Giants NL West *CA$H COW* on Los Angeles -125 The Key: After a 2-5 start that has featured three 1-run losses, the Los Angeles Dodgers will be focused tonight against the rival San Francisco Giants. And they send Rich Hill to the mound to get it done. Hill faced the Giants in his first start on April 1st, leading the Dodgers to a 9-0 victory while firing 6 shutout innings. Hill is now 6-2 with a 2.23 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 12 lifetime starts vs. San Francisco. Chris Stratton has never beaten the Dodgers, going 0-2 with a 5.59 ERA in 3 lifetime starts against them. He gave up 3 earned runs in 5 1/3 innings in that start opposite Hill on April 1st. The Dodgers are 7-1 in Hill’s last 8 starts. The Dodgers ar e9-0 in Hill’s last 9 Saturday starts. Take Los Angeles. |

04-06-18 | Orioles v. Yankees OVER 9 | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
7* MLB Total of the Month on Orioles/Yankees OVER 9 The Key: The Orioles and Yankees always seem to play in slug festers. The OVER is 20-6 in the last 26 meetings, and 14-3 in the last 17 meetings in New York. Helping these teams get home runs will be the fact that the wind will be blowing out to left center at 10-15 MPH. And Kevin Gausman and C.C. Sabathia aren't good enough to contain these potent lineups. Take the OVER. |

04-05-18 | Clippers +7 v. Jazz | Top | 95-117 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 34 m | Show |
7* NBA Situational Game of the Month on Los Angeles Clippers +7 The Key: The Clippers are holding on to slim playoff hopes. They probably need to win out to have a chance considering they are 2 games behind both the Pelicans and Timberwolves with 4 games remaining. But they continue to fight, as evidenced by their comeback victory over the Spurs last game. And now they are showing good value as 7-point road underdogs to the Utah Jazz tonight. The Clippers are 11-3 ATS when playing 8 or more games in 14 days this season. Los Angeles is 20-8-1 ATS in its last 29 road games. Utah is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 home games. The Jazz are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Take Los Angeles. |

04-05-18 | Reds +128 v. Pirates | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
6* National League *CA$H COW* on Cincinnati Reds +128 The Key: The price is right to back the Reds tonight. They have had two days off having last played on Monday due to weather. They will be ready to go, and so will Homer Bailey, who gave up just 1 earned run in 6 innings for a 1.50 ERA in his opening start against the Nationals. Bailey is 10-6 with a 3.39 ERA in 21 lifetime starts vs. Pittsburgh. He faced them twice last year, going 2-0 with a 1.54 ERA while yielding only 2 earned runs in 11 2/3 innings. Take Cincinnati. |

04-04-18 | Celtics v. Raptors -7 | Top | 78-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
7* Celtics/Raptors ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on Toronto -7 The Key: The Toronto Raptors are now in a position where they need to win. They have been coasting for weeks, going 0-9 ATS in their last 9 games overall. That’s because they have had such a big lead in the East. But now that lead is back to only 2 games, and they play the team that trails them tonight in the Boston Celtics. The Raptors will also be out for revenge from a 99-110 loss in Boston on March 31st just a few days ago. This game simply sets up for the Raptors to come out with one of their best performances of the season given what’s at stake now. And the Celtics are short-handed and playing the second of a back-to-back after a loss in Milwaukee last night. Boston is still without Kyrie Irving and Marcus Smart, and now backup PG Terry Rozier is battling an ankle injury and his questionable. Rozier has been the reason the Celtics have stayed competitive down the stretch, but without him at 100% they don’t have much of a shot tonight, especially with the Raptors 100% healthy. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. The Raptors are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home meetings with Boston. Take Toronto. |

04-04-18 | Cardinals -112 v. Brewers | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
6* National League *CA$H COW* on St. Louis Cardinals -112 The Key: After blowing a 4-1 lead in the 8th inning last night, the Cardinals will come back hungry for a victory tonight over the Milwaukee Brewers. And given their big edge on the mound in this one, they should get the job done. Carlos Martinez is 46-33 with a 3.45 ERA in his career and has quickly become the ace of this staff. Martinez is 5-4 with a 2.63 ERA in 12 lifetime starts vs. Milwaukee. Jhoulys Chacin allowed 4 earned runs and 9 base runners in 3 1/3 innings in his first start of the season at San Diego, which is a big concern. Chacin has never beaten the Cardinals, going 0-5 with a 5.46 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 5 lifetime starts against them. Take St. Louis. |

04-03-18 | Spurs v. Clippers UNDER 207.5 | Top | 110-113 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
7* Spurs/Clippers TNT *BAILOUT* on UNDER 207.5 The Key: With both the Spurs and Clippers having so much to play for tonight, the defensive intensity will be high. The Spurs are trying to hold off several teams for the 4th seed in the West and a home court in the first round. The Clippers are 2 games out of the 8th spot and just fighting to get into the playoffs. The UNDER is 27-10 in Spurs games when the total is 200 to 209.5 this season. The UNDER is 5-1 in Clippers last 6 games overall. The UNDER is 10-4 in Spurs last 14 games overall. Take the UNDER. |

6* Indians/Angels American League *BAILOUT* on Cleveland -115 The Key: Cleveland has a big edge on the mound tonight with Mike Clevinger over JC Ramirez. Clevinger went 11-4 with a 2.84 ERA in 21 starts last year for the Indians, including 7-2 with a 2.26 ERA in 11 road starts. Ramirez went 9-10 with a 4.11 ERA in 24 starts for the Angels, including 2-6 with a 4.64 ERA in 12 home starts. Clevinger has never lost to the Angels, going 2-0 (3-0 money line) with a 3.94 ERA in 3 lifetime starts against them. Take Cleveland. |

7* Michigan/Villanova NCAAB *HEAVY HITTER* on Villanova -7 The Key: The Villanova Wildcats have won every one of their NCAA Tournament games by 12 or more points. They have won by an average of nearly 18 points per game. Michigan is a good team, but no match for these Wildcats. The Wolverines lucked their way into the Championship Game by getting a huge break in the schedule, not once having to face a team seeded lower than 6th. Villanova is 10-1 ATS in its last 11 against Big Ten teams. Take Villanova. |

04-01-18 | Giants v. Dodgers -1.5 | 0-9 | Win | 110 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
6* Giants/Dodgers ESPN *BAILOUT* on Los Angeles -1.5 (+110) The Key: After losing the first two games of this series 1-0 to the Giants each, the Dodgers got their bats going a bit in a 5-0 victory in Game 3 Saturday. They have held the Giants to just 2 runs through 3 games, so it’s just carrying over from last year. The Dodgers have elite pitching, and the Giants can’t hit a lick. Now it’s Rich Hill’s turn to dominate. He went 12-8 with a 3.23 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 29 starts last year, including 7-5 with a 2.73 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 18 home starts. Chris Stratton went 1-3 with a 4.28 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 5 road starts last year for the Giants. Stratton is 0-1 with a 6.24 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in 2 lifetime starts vs. L.A., both of which came last season. Hill is 5-2 with a 2.43 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 11 lifetime starts vs. San Francisco. He went 2-0 with a 1.62 ERA in 3 starts against the Giants last year. He has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in 9 consecutive starts against San Francisco. Take Los Angeles on the Run Line. |
|||||||
04-01-18 | Rockets v. Spurs +2.5 | Top | 83-100 | Win | 100 | 3 h 44 m | Show |
7* Rockets/Spurs ABC *HEAVY HITTER* on San Antonio +2.5 The Key: The Spurs have gone 7-2 SU & 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games. After looking like they might not make the playoffs a few weeks ago, the Spurs now sit in 4th place in the Western Conference just a half-game up on 5th place. They want to snag the No. 4 seed to assure home-court advantage in the first round. The Houston Rockets have nothing to play for as they have already locked up the No. 1 seed. They played like it last time out when they needed to come back from 20-plus points down to beat Phoenix 104-103 on a buzzer-beater from Gerald Green as 17.5-point home favorites. They are starting to rest their players and won’t show up at all these final two weeks. Motivationally, this is a money spot to back the Spurs. The Spurs are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games. Take San Antonio. |

03-31-18 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks OVER 8.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
6* Saturday MLB *Total* Annihilator on Rockies/Diamondbacks OVER 8.5 The Key: The Rockies and Diamondbacks have certainly gotten the bats going in this series thus far. They combined for 10 runs in Game 1 and 17 runs in Game 2. Once again, the oddsmakers have set the number too low with this 8.5-run total. Zach Greinke is working his way back from a groin injury and isn’t 100%. His fastball clocked in around 85 MPH in the spring. German Marquez has been torched by the Diamondbacks. He is 0-3 with a 4.59 ERA in 6 lifetime starts against them, giving up 8 earned runs in 9 2/3 innings in his final 2 starts against them last year. The OVER is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Take the OVER. |
|||||||
03-31-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Michigan UNDER 130 | Top | 57-69 | Win | 100 | 5 h 34 m | Show |
7* Loyola/Michigan Final Four *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 130 The Key: Loyola and Michigan are two of the best defensive teams in the entire country. It’s how they got this far, and it’s the reason I like the UNDER 130 points in their Final Four matchup. Loyola allows just 62.4 PPG and 41.4% shooting. Michigan allows just 63.1 PPG and 42.4% shooting. Points will be hard to come by in this matchup, especially with how well both teams defend the 3-pointer. Loyola is 8-1 UNDER when playing just its 2nd game in 8 days this season. Loyola is 10-1 UNDER vs. teams who attempt 21 or more 3-point shots per game after 15+ games this season. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
03-30-18 | Bucks v. Lakers UNDER 220.5 | Top | 124-122 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
7* Bucks/Lakers NBA *BAILOUT* on UNDER 220.5 The Key: The Los Angeles Lakers will be without their top two point guards for this game against Milwaukee. Both Isaiah Thomas and Lonzo Ball are out. That leaves the underwhelming Alex Caruso to run the point. They won’t be looking to push the tempo, and neither will the Bucks, who will still be tired in this back-to-back situation after winning in Golden State last night. The UNDER is 7-1 in Bucks last 8 games when playing on 0 days’ rest. The UNDER is 5-1 in Lakers last 6 home games. The UNDER is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in Los Angeles. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
03-30-18 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks OVER 8 | 8-9 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
6* Friday MLB *Total* Annihilator on Rockies/Diamondbacks OVER 8 The Key: It’s shocking the books have set this total so low in a game between two of the better offenses in the National League inside a hitter’s park in Arizona. And both starting pitcher have struggled against the opposition in year’s past. Tyler Anderson sports a 6.00 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 4 lifetime starts vs. Arizona. Robbie Ray sports a 5.21 ERA and 1.614 WHIP in 9 lifetime starts vs. Colorado. Ray is 11-2 OVER in home games vs. division opponents over the last 3 seasons. The OVER is 6-0 in Diamondbacks last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter. The OVER is 20-6-1 in Ray’s last 27 home starts. Take the OVER. |
|||||||
03-29-18 | Bucks v. Warriors UNDER 215.5 | Top | 116-107 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
7* Bucks/Warriors TNT *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 215.5 The Key: The injuries to Steph Curry and Klay Thompson have forced the Warriors to play a different brand of basketball, one that relies more on defense. The Warriors have been held to 93 or fewer points in 4 of their last 6 games overall. But their defense has been solid as they have held 3 of their last 4 opponents to 94 points or fewer. The Bucks and Warriors played back in January with the Warriors winning 108-94 for just 202 combined points with a total set of 221.5. And that was back when the Warriors were healthy. This game will be more of a defensive battle than the oddsmakers are anticipating. The Warriors are 22-5 UNDER In March games over the last 2 seasons. The UNDER is 10-1 in Bucks last 11 Thursday games. The UNDER is 7-1 in Warriors last 8 home games. Take the UNDER. |

6* Rockies/Diamondbacks MLB *BAILOUT* on Arizona -107 The Key: We are getting the Arizona Diamondbacks at a cheap price at home on Opening Night. Patrick Corbin is 12-4 against the money line in his 16 lifetime starts against Colorado. In his last 2 starts against them, he has allowed just 2 earned runs and 11 base runners in 12 innings. Jon Gray is 2-3 with a 5.69 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in his 6 lifetime starts vs. Arizona. Corbin went 9-4 with a 3.15 ERA in 17 home starts last year. Take Arizona. |

03-28-18 | Hawks v. Wolves -11.5 | Top | 114-126 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
7* NBA *Blowout* Game of the Month on Minnesota Timberwolves -11.5 The Key: Minnesota is only 1.5 games ahead of the Clippers for the 8th spot in the West. They will be hyper-focused the rest of the way, and they will be in sour moods coming off their upset home loss to Memphis last time out. I expect a big effort from the Timberwolves at home tonight against the Hawks, who are just 1-9 SU in their last 10 games, and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games. The Hawks are clearly tanking and aren’t hiding it. They are without 3 of their best players tonight in Dennis Schroder, Malcolm Delaney and Kent Bazemore. They stand little chance of even being competitive. Atlanta is 3-11 ATS off a road loss by 10 points or more this season. The Hawks are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS loss. The Timberwolves are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 home games. The Timberwolves are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home meetings with Atlanta. Take Minnesota. |

03-27-18 | Nuggets +8.5 v. Raptors | Top | 110-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show |
7* NBA Non-Conference Game of the Month on Denver Nuggets +8.5 The Key: It’s do or die for the Denver Nuggets right now. They are 1.5 games behind the 8th place Minnesota Timberwolves with just 8 games remaining. They are in must-win mode from here on out. After a poor second half last night against the 76ers, look for the Nuggets to come back determined tonight. They had two days off prior to that game so they won’t be as fatigued as a team usually is on a back-to-back. Plus, their starters got to rest down the stretch. The Raptors clearly haven’t been on top of their games of late and are just ready for the playoffs to get here as they basically have the No. 1 seed locked up. The Raptors are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Nuggets are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 meetings with the Raptors, including a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Toronto. Take Denver. |
|||||||

7* Nuggets/76ers NBA TV *HEAVY HITTER* on Denver Nuggets +5.5 The Key: It’s do or die for the Denver Nuggets right now. They are 1.5 games back of the 8th place Utah Jazz with nine games remaining. They are in must-win mode from here on out. The Philadelphia 76ers just completed Step 1 of The Process by clinching a playoff spot. I can’t help but think they will be flat tonight after accomplishing that goal last time out. The Nuggets come in rested with two days off having last played on Friday. Denver is 15-6 ATS revenging a same season loss this season. The Nuggets are 53-35 ATS int heir last 88 games as a road underdog. The underdog is 6-1-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Take Denver. |

03-25-18 | Celtics v. Kings +6.5 | 104-93 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 39 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Sacramento Kings +6.5 The Key: The Celtics are playing without 3 starters right now in Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown. That’s why they cannot be 6.5-point favorites at Sacramento tonight. This is a Kings team that is very young and is not just playing out the string. That’s evident by the fact that the Kings are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. They have had 2 days off since beating the Hawks 105-90 on Thursday, so they’ll be rested coming into this game with the Celtics. Sacramento is 16-6 ATS in its last 22 games as a home underdog of 6.5 to 12 points. The Kings are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of better than 60%. The Kings are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 vs. Eastern Conference teams. Take Sacramento. |

7* Duke/Kansas Elite 8 *HEAVY HITTER* on Kansas +3.5 The Key: Kansas should not be an underdog to Duke in the Elite 8. The Jayhawks have the home-court edge with this game being played in Omaha. And they are playing their best basketball of the season. The Jayhawks are 11-1 in their last 12 games overall. Azubuike is healthy and a double-double machine. And the Jayhawks are hitting on all cylinders offensively. The Blue Devils have had too easy of a path to get here with wins over Iona, Rhode Island and Syracuse. Kansas is 3-2 SU & 4-1 ATS in its last 5 meetings with Duke. Take Kansas. |

7* NCAA Tournament Game of the Year on Michigan -4.5 The Key: The Michigan Wolverines are on fire. They are 12-0 SU & 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games. I think the fact that Florida State has upset two straight teams in Xavier and Gonzaga has them getting too much respect from oddsmakers. Both Xavier and Gonzaga came into the tournament overrated in my opinion. Michigan remains severely underrated. The Wolverines should be more than 4.5-point favorites against this inexperienced FSU team that isn’t ready for this big of a stage with a trip to the Final Four on the line. Michigan’s suffocating defense will be the difference, and they are obviously feeling it offensively right now after hanging 99 points on Texas A&M on Thursday. Take Michigan. |

03-24-18 | Lakers v. Grizzlies +6 | 100-93 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 58 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Memphis Grizzlies +6 The Key: The Memphis Grizzlies will show some pride tonight. They were just beaten by 61 points by the Hornets and blasted in the media for tanking. At least for one night, they will show up, so we’ll take all these points and run with them. The Grizzlies are almost fully healthy right now outside Mike Conley, and they are good enough to beat the Lakers. The Lakers aren’t exactly lighting it up, either. They have lost 4 straight and are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Lakers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. The Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home meetings with Los Angeles. Take Memphis. |

They are 37-17-1 ATS in their last 55 road games dating back to last year. Miami is also 12-3-2 ATS in its last 17 games overall. The Heat are 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win. The Thunder are 5-20 ATS after having won 2 of their last 3 games this season. Take Miami. |

7* WVU/Villanova Sweet 16 *HEAVY HITTER* on Villanova -5 The Key: The Villanova Wildcats are the best team in the country. They don’t have any weaknesses. They will exploit the one weakness of West Virginia, which is their half court defense. The Wildcats won’t be phased by WVU’s press, especially with extra time to prepare for it. And they will take advantage of their opportunities when the Mountaineers are out of position going for too many steals. This is a Villanova team that doesn’t get enough credit for their offensive efficiency. They score 86.9 PPG and shoot 50.3% from the field, including 40.2% from 3-point range this season. On the other end, Villanova is elite defensively, and WVU struggles shooting the 3-ball. The Wildcats don’t give up anything easy. Villanova is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 neutral site games. The Wildcats are 50-21-1 ATS in their last 72 non-conference games. Take Villanova. |

7* Loyola/Nevada Sweet 16 *HEAVY HITTER* on Loyola-Chicago +1.5 The Key: Loyola is the more complete team in this matchup. They are by far the superior defensive team. I love the way they share the basketball on offense and have 3-point snipers all over the court. This has allowed them to upset both Miami and Tennessee to get here. And now they actually take a step down in class against Nevada, yet are still underdogs. Their magical run will continue with a win tonight. Loyola is 9-0 ATS after allowing 30 points or less in the first half of 2 straight games this season. Take Loyola-Chicago. |

03-22-18 | Grizzlies +10 v. Hornets | 79-140 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Memphis Grizzlies +10 The Key: The Hornets used a lot of energy coming back from a 20-plus point deficit against the Nets last night. They closed the game on an 18-2 run to win 111-105. I know because I had the Nets, and it was one of my most painful losses of the season. So now they are a tired team playing the second of a back-to-back and being asked to lay double-digits against Memphis tonight. Memphis is also on a back-to-back, but they were blown out in Philadelphia last night and were able to spread their minutes around more to bench players. I think the Grizzlies come back tonight and play a great game to stay within this number. Memphis is 30-14 ATS when playing its 3rd game in 4 days over the last 2 seasons. The Hornets are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 vs. Western Conference teams. The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Take Memphis. |

7* NBA Eastern Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Brooklyn Nets +2 The Key: The Brooklyn Nets have won back-to-back games over the Mavs and Grizzlies. They also played the 76ers very tough in a 4-point road loss as 8.5-point dogs the game prior. They recently beat these same Hornets 125-111 on the road on March 8th. I don’t like the mindset of the Hornets right now as they have recently been eliminated from the playoffs thanks to their 2-8 stretch over their last 10 games. They lost by 14 to the 76ers and by 23 to the Knicks in their last two games, so they aren’t showing any fight. And they’re without one of their best players in Nic Batum right now, while the Nets are almost fully healthy. The Hornets are 1-8 ATS after allowing 105 points or more in four straight games this season. Charlotte is 2-9 ATS in its last 11 games following a loss. The Nets are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Take Brooklyn. |

7* Thunder/Celtics TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on Oklahoma City -4.5 The Key: With the playoffs approaching, the Oklahoma City Thunder are hitting their stride. They have gone 6-0 SU & 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall with all six wins coming by 5 points or more. They have moved into the No. 4 spot in the West and are in line to get a first-round home series if they finish strong. They will be able to take advantage of a Boston Celtics team that has been hit hard by injuries lately. The Celtics are now playing without 3 starters in Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown. They have gone just 1-3 in their last 4 games with their only win coming over the Magic. They are coming off a 19-point road loss at New Orleans. Bets against home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after scoring 90 points or less against opponent that has scored 105-plus points in 4 or more consecutive games are 39-14 ATS since 1996. The Thunder have topped 100 points in 11 consecutive games during a 9-2 run coming in. Take Oklahoma City. |

7* Western Kentucky/USC NIT *BAILOUT* on Western Kentucky +5 The Key: USC is still bummed from being left out of the NCAA Tournament. That was evident in their NIT opener when they went through the motions and were fortunate to escape with a 103-98 home win over UNC-Asheville despite being 13.5-point favorites. Of course it doesn’t help that they are without their two best players in Bennie Boatwright (injury) and Cimenzie Metu, who has decided to skip the NIT to focus on the NBA Draft. Western Kentucky will likely pull the upset tonight. The Hilltoppers blitzed Boston College 79-62 at home in their NIT opener and are clearly happy to be here. The Hilltoppers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games. Western Kentucky is 11-4 ATS in its last 15 games vs. a team with a winning percentage of better than 60%. Take Western Kentucky. |

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Philadelphia 76ers -8.5 The Key: The Philadelphia 76ers have owned the Charlotte Hornets. They are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. The two meetings this season have resulted in blowout victories by 11 at home and by 14 on the road. Now that trend should continue considering the Hornets will be without Nic Batum, Cody Zeller and Michael Carter-Williams, while the 76ers are healthy. The Hornets are just 2-7 SU & 3-6 ATS in their last 9 games and have nothing to play for but pride at this point. They just lost by 23 on the road to the New York Knicks last time out, a sign they have quit. Philadelphia is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 home games. The 76ers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games when playing on 2 days rest. The Hornets are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a loss. Take Philadelphia. |

03-18-18 | Texas A&M v. North Carolina -6 | Top | 86-65 | Loss | -114 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
7* Texas A&M/North Carolina *HEAVY HITTER* on North Carolina -6 The Key: The North Carolina Tar Heels have the big men to match Texas A&M. The Tar Heels are one of the best rebounding teams in the country. So the difference in this game is going to be the guard play. The Tar Heels have elite guards, while the Aggies have some of the worst guards in the tournament. They lost starting point guard Duane Wilson in mid-February and haven’t been the same team since. Roy Williams has never lost in the NCAA Tournament in their home state, and they’ll certainly have a big home-court edge again with this game being played in Charlotte. Texas A&M is 2-10 ATS vs. teams who are called for 17 or less fouls per game over the last 3 seasons. The Aggies are 1-9 ATS after having won 4 of their last 5 games over the last 2 seasons. The Tar Heels are 20-6-2 ATS in their last 28 vs. SEC teams. Take North Carolina. |
|||||||
03-17-18 | Houston v. Michigan -3 | Top | 63-64 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
7* Houston/Michigan *HEAVY HITTER* on Michigan -3 The Key: The Michigan Wolverines need to be bigger favorites today against the Houston Cougars. The Wolverines are playing as well as anyone in the country. They are 10-0 SU & 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Houston was fortunate to get by San Diego State on a buzzer-beater by a final of 67-65. Now they take a step up in class against arguably the best team they have faced all season. Michigan is 9-0 ATS vs. teams who make 8 or more 3-point shots per game this season. Take Michigan. |
|||||||
03-17-18 | Nuggets v. Grizzlies UNDER 215 | 94-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
6* Saturday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Nuggets/Grizzlies UNDER 215 The Key: The UNDER is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between the Grizzlies and Nuggets. They have combined for 210, 165, 196 and 203 points in their last 4 meetings. That’s an average of just 193.5 points per game. As you can see, we are getting a ton of value on the UNDER 215 tonight. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
03-16-18 | Maryland-Baltimore County v. Virginia -20 | Top | 74-54 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 33 m | Show |
7* NCAAB First Round Game of the Year on Virginia -20 The Key: Virginia was the best team in college basketball all season. Now they will roll over Maryland-Baltimore County tonight as only 20-point favorites in their NCAA Tournament opener. The No. 1 seeds thus far are 2-0 ATS with both Kansas and Villanova covering. And the last 8 No. 1 seeds favored by 20 or less have now gone 8-0 ATS. Take Virginia. |
|||||||
03-16-18 | Mavs +10.5 v. Raptors | 115-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Dallas Mavericks +10.5 The Key: The situation clearly favors the Dallas Mavericks tonight. The Mavericks are working on 2 days’ rest while the Raptors will be playing the second of a back-to-back after a come-from-behind win in Indiana last night. The Raptors will also be playing their 7th game in 11 days. Take Dallas. |
|||||||
03-16-18 | Kansas State +1 v. Creighton | 69-59 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
6* K-State/Creighton *CA$H COW* on Kansas State +1 The Key: Kansas State played in the best conference in the country in the Big 12. The Big 12 has shown well thus far in the NCAA Tournament, and I think the Wildcats will make easy work of the Creighton Bluejays tonight. Creighton took a turn for the worse once they lost Martin Krampelj to a season-ending ACL tear, their leading rebounder and best big man. The Bluejays have gone just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Creighton is 1-7 ATS in road games after a game with 5 or less offensive rebounds this season. The Bluejays are 0-6 ATS in road games when playing against a team with a winning record after 15 or more games this season. Creighton is 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 NCAA Tournament games. Take Kansas State. |
|||||||
03-15-18 | Pistons v. Nuggets -7.5 | 113-120 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Denver Nuggets -7.5 The Key: The Denver Nuggets are fighting to make the playoffs. They have taken care of business at home this year, going 26-10 at the Pepsi Center while scoring 112.0 points per game and shooting 48.4% from the field. They Pistons, who are just 3-11 SU in their last 14 and 3-12 ATS in their last 15, will be no match for them. Detroit just played in altitude last time out in Utah and got blasted 79-110. Detroit is 2-11 ATS in March road games over the last 2 seasons. The Pistons are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 road games overall. The Pistons are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 trips to the Pepsi Center. Take Denver. |
|||||||
03-15-18 | San Diego State +4 v. Houston | Top | 65-67 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
7* SDSU/Houston *HEAVY HITTER* on San Diego State +4 The Key: San Diego State is a team that nobody wants to face right now. The Aztecs have gone 9-0 SU & 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. They beat Nevada twice by 5 at home and by 17 on a neutral. They really cruised through the Mountain West Tournament and are hitting their stride. Houston had a solid season, but I question how good the American Athletic really is. I believe the wrong team is favored in this matchup. The Aztecs are 8-0 ATS when playing their 3rd game in a week this season. SDSU is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 vs. a team with a winning record. The Cougars are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. MWC teams. Take San Diego State. |
|||||||
03-15-18 | Oklahoma v. Rhode Island -1 | 78-83 | Win | 100 | 2 h 23 m | Show | |
6* Oklahoma/Rhode Island *CA$H COW* on Rhode Island -1 The Key: Oklahoma doesn’t even belong in the NCAA Tournament. Once teams figured out that stopping Trae Young is all they had to do, the Sooners folded down the stretch. They went 2-8 SU in their final 10 games. Oklahoma is also just 3-13 ATS in its last 16 games. The Sooners really struggled on the road, going 0-9 SU & 0-9 ATS in their final 9 road games. Rhode Island is a great team at 25-7 with four of its seven losses coming by 4 points or less. The Rams are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games. The Sooners are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. Oklahoma is 3-14 ATS in its last 17 games vs. a team with a winning record. Take Rhode Island. |
|||||||
03-14-18 | BYU v. Stanford -2 | 83-86 | Win | 100 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
6* BYU/Stanford NIT *CA$H COW* on Stanford -2 The Key: The Stanford Cardinal have had a tremendous home-court advantage down the stretch. They have gone 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games. They are 7-1 SU in their last 8 home games with their only loss coming to Arizona by a more 2 points. BYU is just 8-17-2 ATS in its last 27 games vs. a team with a losing record. It’s a hangover spot for the Cougars after they lost by 20 to Gonzaga in the WCC Championship with a trip to the NCAA Tournament on the line. Take Stanford. |
|||||||
03-14-18 | Wizards -3.5 v. Celtics | Top | 125-124 | Loss | -103 | 4 h 22 m | Show |
7* Wizards/Celtics ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on Washington -3.5 The Key: The Boston Celtics will be without 4 starters tonight. Kyrie Irving, Al Horford, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown will all be watching from the bench due to injuries. Jayson Tatum is also dealing with a back injury that will slow him down. I just don’t see how the Celtics can even be competitive with the Wizards tonight with all they are missing. Washington is 7-0 ATS in road games off 2 or more consecutive losses this season. The Wizards are winning by 14.0 PPG in this situation. Take Washington. |
|||||||
03-13-18 | Nuggets v. Lakers +2 | Top | 103-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
7* Nuggets/Lakers Western Conference *BAILOUT* on Los Angeles +2 The Key: The Lakers have won 15 of their last 22 games and are making a run at the playoffs. Now they face a team they recently lost to in the Nuggets on March 9th on the road. Well, that shouldn’t be a surprise as the home team is 5-0 SU & 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings. I like the Lakers to avenge that loss at home tonight. The Lakers are 10-1 ATS when coming off a home win by 10 points or more this year. Los Angeles is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 home games overall. Take Los Angeles. |
|||||||
03-13-18 | Long Island +6 v. Radford | 61-71 | Loss | -103 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
6* Long Island/Radford First Four *CA$H COW* on Long Island +6 The Key: Long Island closed the season on a 5-game winning streak. I watched most of their 71-61 win at Wagner as 9.5-point underdogs and came away very impressed. They are certainly a live underdog tonight. Joel Hernandez (20.9 PPG) and Raiquan Clark (17.4 PPG) combine to form a star duo that is capable of beating Radford here. The Blackbirds are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games following a win. The Highlanders are only 3-8 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. Take Long Island. |
|||||||
03-12-18 | Heat v. Blazers OVER 209 | Top | 99-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
7* Heat/Blazers ESPN *Total* Annihilator on OVER 209 The Key: The Heat will be playing without Hassan Whiteside tonight. He is their best defender and one of the top defenders in the league. They’ll now have to go to a smaller lineup to deal with the Blazers tonight. I think that will lead to a shootout similar to the last time the Heat played in a 129-102 victory over the Wizards. The Heat have scored 102-plus points in 11 consecutive games. The Blazers have scored 106 or or points in 7 consecutive games. The OVER is 5-0 in Heat last 5 road games. Take the OVER. |
|||||||
03-11-18 | Pacers +6.5 v. Celtics | Top | 99-97 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
7* Pacers/Celtics Eastern Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Indiana +6.5 The Key: The Indiana Pacers are 100% healthy now with the recent return of Darren Collison to the lineup. They are playing great basketball too in going 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Now they are ready to match up with the Boston Celtics, who are not healthy. They just lost one of their best players in Jaylen Brown to a concussion, and he’ll miss tonight’s game. The Pacers went into Boston and won 97-91 as 4-point underdogs in their last meeting, and they only lost 111-112 at home as 2-point dogs in their previous meeting. They’ve proven they can play with the Celtics, and I like the price were are getting with them Sunday as 6.5-point dogs. Take Indiana. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | Spurs +5 v. Thunder | Top | 94-104 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
7* Spurs/Thunder ABC *HEAVY HITTER* on San Antonio +5 The Key: The Spurs are desperate for a win after going just 3-9 in their last 12 games overall. A lot of that was injury related, but they have gotten healthy and just gave Golden State all they wanted on the road. They only lost 107-110 and were actually outscored by 12 points in the 4th quarter as 11-point underdogs. If they can play with Golden State, they can certainly beat Oklahoma City, let alone stay within 5 points to cover this spread. The Thunder are 1-8 ATS off a home win by 10 points or more this season. The Spurs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. The Thunder are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a win. Take San Antonio. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | Providence +13.5 v. Villanova | 66-76 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
6* Providence/Villanova Big East *CA$H COW* on Providence +13.5 The Key: Providence is playing its best basketball at the right time. On the bubble and likely out of the NCAA Tournament two weeks ago, the Friars have gone 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall with their only loss coming at Xavier by 10 as 11-point underdogs. They returned the favor with a 75-72 upset win over Xavier yesterday. And Providence beat this same Villanova team 76-71 as 9.5-point underdogs back on February 14th. They can certainly stay within 13.5 points in the rematch here tonight. Villanova is 0-6 ATS off 3 straight wins by 15 points or more over the last 2 seasons. They are now getting too much respect from the books and it’s time to fade them. Take Providence. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | West Virginia -2 v. Texas Tech | Top | 66-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
7* Texas Tech/WVU Big 12 *HEAVY HITTER* on West Virginia -2 The Key: West Virginia’s style is built for tournament basketball. It’s tough to prepare for them on short rest, especially when playing on back-to-back days. That’s the task Texas Tech faces here. WVU was clearly the better team in the regular season with the Mountaineers only losing 71-72 on the road and winning 84-74 at home in their 2 meetings with the Red Raiders. WVU made easy work of Baylor in a 78-65 win yesterday, while Texas Tech struggled to put away a depleted Texas team 73-69. The Red Raiders are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games after 4 straight games where they forced 11 or fewer turnovers. Texas Tech is 7-20 ATS in its last 27 neutral site games, and 0-5-1 ATS in its last 6 games overall. The Mountaineers are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Take West Virginia. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | San Diego State v. Nevada -2.5 | 90-73 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
6* SDSU/Nevada Mountain West *CA$H COW* on Nevada -2.5 The Key: Nevada wants revenge from a 74-79 road loss at San Diego State in the regular season finale. Well, the Wolf Pack had nothing to play for in that game as they already head the MWC wrapped up. They will be more hungry for a win this time around, and they will have the home-court edge being played in Las Vegas. SDSU is 3-14 ATS in its last 17 games off 3 consecutive covers as a favorite. SDSU is 0-6 ATS in road games off a game with 9 or less assists over the last 2 years. The Wolf Pack are 33-14-4 ATS in their last 51 games vs. a team with a winning record. The favorite is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Take Nevada. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Rockets v. Raptors +2.5 | 105-108 | Win | 100 | 6 h 40 m | Show | |
6* Rockets/Raptors Non-Conference *CA$H COW* on Toronto +2.5 The Key: The Rockets are 17-0 in their last 17 games while the Raptors are 15-2 in their last 17. But the Rockets are getting all the hype because of their streak. That’s why they are road favorites here because the betting public continues to back them hard. The wrong team is favored in this matchup. Toronto actually has a better point differential in its last 17 games than Houston does. It will be a raucous atmosphere in Toronto tonight, where the Raptors have gone 27-5 at home this season. Houston is 1-8 ATS vs. Atlantic Division opponents this season. The Raptors are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home meetings with Houston. Take Toronto. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | South Carolina v. Arkansas -5 | 64-69 | Push | 0 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
6* South Carolina/Arkansas SEC Tournament *CA$H COW* on Arkansas -5 The Key: South Carolina won a grueling 85-84 battle with Ole Miss yesterday. Arkansas received a bye and will be fresh. That Arkansas press will really give the fatigued Gamecocks fits today. Arkansas beat South Carolina 81-65 at home as 7-point favorites in their lone regular season meeting. I think we are getting the Razorbacks at a great price at only -5 given the situation. South Carolina is 1-7 ATS after having won 4 or 5 of its last 6 games this season. Arkansas is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 neutral site games. The Razorbacks are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Take Arkansas. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | 76ers v. Heat UNDER 209.5 | 99-108 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
6* Thursday NBA *Total* Annihilator on 76ers/Heat UNDER 209.5 The Key: This will be the 4th and final meeting of the season between Philadelphia and Miami. These teams are obviously familiar with one another, which favors defense. And they have a knack for playing in low scoring games in their first 3 meetings, which have seen 203, 206 and 200 combined points. Now we’re getting a total of 209.5 tonight and I think the price is right to bet the UNDER. The UNDER is 10-3 in 76ers last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The UNDER is 20-8 in Heat last 28 Thursday games. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Massachusetts v. George Mason -1.5 | Top | 75-80 | Win | 100 | 2 h 49 m | Show |
7* Atlantic 10 Tournament Game of the Year on George Mason PK The Key: George Mason is playing the better basketball than UMass right now and is primed for a run in the Atlantic 10 Tournament. George Mason has gone 5-2 SU in its last 7 games overall, and 7-2 ATS in its last 9 lined games. UMass is just 3-11 SU in its last 14 games. George Mason won both regular season meetings both home and away and has won 4 straight in this series overall. UMass is 1-10 ATS in its last 11 games as a neutral court dog of 3 points or less or PK. Take George Mason. |
|||||||
03-07-18 | Pelicans v. Kings +5.5 | 114-101 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Sacramento Kings +5.5 The Key: The New Orleans Pelicans are in a difficult situation tonight. They played a grueling 121-116 barn burner in Los Angeles last night against the Clippers. They trailed by 4 with two minutes left but Anthony Davis scored 6 unanswered points to pull out the win. After putting so much into that game, the Pelicans won’t have much left in the tank for the Kings tonight. And the Kings have been playing very well coming in going 2-1 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last three with their only loss coming to Utah by 7 as 7.5-point underdogs. Sacramento is 21-11 SU & 21-9-2 ATS in its last 32 home meetings with New Orleans. Bets against road favorites who have covered 5 or 6 of their last 7 against the spread, when playing on back-to-back days are 56-28 ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take Sacramento. |
|||||||
03-07-18 | DePaul v. Marquette -5.5 | Top | 69-72 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
7* Big East Game of the Month on Marquette -5.5 The Key: At 18-12 on the season, Marquette has played its way onto the bubble of the NCAA Tournament. They have done so by going 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall, which has included two wins over Creighton, an NCAA Tournament team. Now they should make easy work of DePaul like they did back on January 15th at home in a 70-52 victory, and not like they lost to them on the road on February 24th. They are now healthy with Markus Howard in the lineup and should roll here. DePaul is 1-8 ATS as a neutral court underdog or PK over the last 3 seasons. The Blue Demons are 6-21 ATS in their last 27 neutral site games overall. The Golden Eagles are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Take Marquette. |
|||||||
03-06-18 | Knicks +9.5 v. Blazers | Top | 87-111 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
7* NBA Situational Game of the Month on New York Knicks +9.5 The Key: The Portland Trail Blazers will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back and their 3rd game in 4 days after two straight hard-fought victories over the Thunder (108-100) and Lakers (108-103). They needed a big comeback in the 4th quarter to beat the Lakers last night, which will have taken more out of them. I think the Knicks will take advantage and hang tough in this one. They are the fresher team after having yesterday off. They will be playing just their 3rd game in 8 days here. Take New York. |
|||||||
03-05-18 | Magic +9.5 v. Jazz | Top | 80-94 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
7* NBA Non-Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Orlando Magic +9.5 The Key: The Magic have been a nice money maker over the last couple months. They have gone 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games overall. They aren’t going to lose by double-digits to the Utah Jazz, who are getting way too much respect from oddsmakers recently. That has show with the Jazz going 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall, and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. The Magic are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games. The road team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. The Magic are 5-0 ATS in their last five trips to Utah. Take Orlando. |
|||||||
03-05-18 | Bowling Green +7 v. Central Michigan | 77-81 | Win | 100 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
6* MAC Tournament *CA$H COW* on Bowling Green +7 The Key: The Bowling Green Falcons have a nice rest advantage here. Central Michigan had its game postponed on Friday and rescheduled for Saturday. The Chippewas won that game 84-71 over Western Michigan. But now they only have one day to get ready for Bowling Green, while the Falcons have two full days to get ready after losing to Buffalo on Friday. The Falcons will be playing with double revenge after losing their last two meetings with CMU by 6 on the road and 9 at home. Given the rest advantage, I expect them to stay within 7 points and possibly pull off the upset. Bowling Green is 7-0 ATS after failing to cover 3 of their last 4 against the spread over the last 2 seasons. The Falcons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. a team with a winning record. Take Bowling Green. |
|||||||
03-04-18 | Hornets v. Raptors -8.5 | Top | 98-103 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 28 m | Show |
7* NBA Eastern Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Toronto Raptors -8.5 The Key: The Toronto Raptors have the Charlotte Hornets’ number to say the least. The top team in the East has gone 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in 3 meetings with the Hornets this season, winning by 13, 18 and 20 points. Expect more of the same today and another double-digit blowout victory in the Raptors’ favor. They are 25-5 at home this season. The Raptors are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 Sunday games. The Hornets are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games. Take Toronto. |
|||||||
03-04-18 | Michigan +4.5 v. Purdue | 75-66 | Win | 100 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
6* Michigan/Purdue Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Michigan +4.5 The Key: It’s revenge time for the Michigan Wolverines. They lost by 1 point at home against Purdue and by 4 on the road in their two regular season meetings. They have been mighty impressive in the Big Ten Tournament thus far, crushing both Nebraska and Michigan State in their last two games. Purdue has struggled to get by both Rutgers and Penn State. The Wolverines are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games. Michigan is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above 60%. The Wolverines are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 neutral site games. The Boilermakers are 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Take Michigan. |

03-03-18 | Thunder v. Blazers -4.5 | 100-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
6* Thunder/Blazers NBA *BAILOUT* on Portland -4.5 The Key: The Oklahoma City Thunder are in a difficult situation tonight as they’ll be playing the second of a back-to-back and their 3rd game in 4 days. Now they face a Portland team that has won 5 straight and 7 of its last 8 overall coming in. The Blazers are 12-1 SU in their last 13 home games and 7-0 SU in their last 7 home meetings with the Thunder. Take Portland. |
|||||||
03-03-18 | Loyola Marymount v. Gonzaga -19 | Top | 69-83 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
7* WCC Tournament Game of the Year on Gonzaga -19 The Key: Gonzaga is currently on an 11-game winning streak. The Bulldogs take on Loyola-Marymount tonight in their WCC Tournament opener. It’s a team they have dominated of late by going 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 matchups while winning by 28.3 PPG on average. They have won 44 of their last 47 meetings with this team. It will be yet another mismatch here tonight. Take Gonzaga. |
|||||||
03-03-18 | St Bonaventure -2 v. St. Louis | 64-56 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
6* Atlantic 10 *CA$H COW* on St. Bonaventure -2 The Key: St. Bonaventure has played its way into the NCAA Tournament by going 11-0 in its last 11 games overall to get to 23-6 on the season. But this is still a bubble team, so they focus will still be there tonight when the Bonnies travel to face Saint Louis. They already beat Saint Louis 79-56 at home in their first meeting on February 7th. The Bonnies are now 7-0 SU in their last 7 meetings with the Billikens. Chalk up win #8 in the row in this series tonight. Take St. Bonaventure. |
|||||||
03-02-18 | Nuggets -7.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 108-102 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
7* NBA Western Conference Game of the Month on Denver Nuggets -7.5 The Key: It’s blatantly obvious that the Memphis Grizzlies are tanking. They are now 0-11 in their last 11 games overall and have lost four straight games in blowout fashion by 8 points or more since the All-Star Break. The Denver Nuggets should be able to win by 8 or more tonight. The Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Take Denver. |

03-02-18 | St. Peter's v. Rider -5.5 | 66-55 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
6* Friday NCAAB *CA$H COW* on Rider -5.5 The Key: Rider is 22-8 this season and has the advantage of playing rested against a 13-17 St. Peters team that just played yesterday in a 60-58 victory over Monmouth. Rider has won each of its first two meetings with St. Peters this season and should be able to win going away today given the rest advantage. St. Peters is 1-7 ATS when playing its 3rd game in a week this season. Rider is 6-0 ATS after allowing 90 points or more over the last 2 seasons. Take Rider. |

7* Oregon State/Washington Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on Washington -3 The Key: The Washington Huskies are in need of a couple victories to close out the season if they want to make the NCAA Tournament. They are a bubble team right now but wins over Oregon State and Oregon at home to close out the season would help their chances. That would get them to 21-10 and 11-7 in league play, and the committee would almost certainly have to put them in. It starts with this home game against the Beavers. I think Oregon State is in a letdown spot after facing a brutal schedule of UCLA, USC, Arizona and Arizona State in their last 4 games. I also think Washington wants revenge from a 94-97 road loss at Oregon State in their first meeting. Washington has won 15 of its last 19 home meetings with Oregon State. The Huskies are 14-3 at home this year. Oregon State is 0-7 ATS when the total is 130 to 139.5 this season. The Beavers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a win and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Huskies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. The Huskies are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings with Oregon State, including 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home meetings. Take Washington. |

02-28-18 | Warriors v. Wizards +9 | 109-101 | Win | 100 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
6* Warriors/Wizards ESPN *CA$H COW* on Washington +9 The Key: The Washington Wizards are playing well right now. They are 10-3 SU & 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall. They are doing all of this without John Wall and playing much more team basketball. I like their chances of being able to stay within double-digits over the Golden State Warriors at home tonight with how well they’re playing. It’s a tough rest situation for them, but that is clearly factored into the line. And they should be able to muster up enough energy to put forth a good performance considering it’s the defending champs coming to town. The Warriors are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games, and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Wizards are 16-7 ATS as underdogs this season. Take Washington. |
