09-15-20 | Heat v. Celtics UNDER 210.5 | Top | 117-114 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 59 m | Show |
These are two Top 10 defenses. We think that this series will be another defensive battle much like Boston/Toronto, Where six of seven games went under the posted total. Miami has had a long time off. They will probably be rusty on offense and have a lot of energy on defense. Boston has really dialed in the defense lately, and they have had an extra day off from the normal schedule, and that should bring some energy and tenacity on the defensive end. These teams should be feeling each other out here in Game 1 as well, and we just don’t see an offensive explosion here. The bookies seem afraid to post a total too much under 210 these days, but we had this one handicapped at 204, so we think there is some nice value here. And we like the Celtics for Game 1. Miami making the ECF as a No. 5 is a great story. But they beat a pretty weak Indiana team and then a Bucks team that didn’t have their head in the game. Boston is the better team and much more battle tested at this point. |

09-14-20 | Stars +155 v. Golden Knights | 3-2 | Win | 155 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Dallas over Vegas (Monday at 8pm) As per your selection on Dallas, we believe they are a team destined to make the finals as they have been playing some great team hockey over the entire series and we just believe that Vegas simply can't find a way past Khudobin in net who has been nothing short of outstanding this series. Let's roll with Dallas tonight as they close the series and advance to the Finals. |

09-14-20 | Braves v. Orioles OVER 10 | 1-14 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take Over in Atlanta at Baltimore (7:35 p.m. Monday, September 14) Baltimore has had a tough time scoring runs recently which has resulted in them losing their last 5 games. I'm not sure if they are going to win this contest, but I think returning home will result in them being able to put some runs on the board. Facing the Braves Touki Toussaint could help the Orioles get out of their slump, seeing how in his last three starts he has allowed 12 runs across 13.2 innings. Over their last 5 games, the Braves have scored at least seven runs four times and I can see them having similar success tonight. Jorge Lopez will have the ball for the O's and opponents have scored 11 runs over his last three starts. This one goes over. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-14-20 | Steelers v. Giants +6 | 26-16 | Loss | -108 | 125 h 12 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #479 Pittsburgh Steelers over New York Giants (7:15p.m., Monday, September 14 ESPN) This is a popular pick with all the newsletters and handicappers, and we will side with them early in the season. Pittsburgh needs to make the playoffs this year after missing out the last two years. Pressure is on Tomlin and Roethlisberger and expect them to respond in a positive way to challenge Baltimore in the AFC North. QB Jones played well at times last season, but now does not have an offensive coach. The Giants have failed to cover the spread in 10 of their last 11 games as a home underdog. New York is also 2-7 ATS in their last 9 Week 1 games. Pittsburgh is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games played on Monday Night Football. |

09-14-20 | Chelsea -163 v. Brighton & Hove Albion | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Competition: English Premier League. Take Chelsea ML (-175) Over Brighton (Monday at 3pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury time. No time for a write-up today as we are traveling. Chelsea won the transfer market by signing big names like Werner, Ziyech and Havertz and now look to push for the title this year and it begins in Game 1 against a Brighton side who will be completely overmatched. Chelsea will dicate possession in this contest and generate enough chances to bury a few of them and escape the first game with a solid win. |

09-13-20 | Lightning v. Islanders +136 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 26 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take New York Islanders +125 over Tampa Bay (Sunday at 3pm). As per your selection n NYI, similar to when we backed Dallas last night, we believe NYI can use the momentum it's gained in the Game 3 win and propel themselves to a Game 4 victory and even the series at 2-2. NYI has shown it's not going to back down or deviate from their game plan and we like the fact that they can score goals in bunches and the fact that they are starting to frustrate the Lightning. Let's roll with the Islanders today! |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Clippers -8.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 98-111 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 29 m | Show |
The Clippers blew a big lead in Game 5 and ended up losing the game. They took their foot off the gas too early, and it was tough for this team to get back into the zone again. But you have to remember that the main core of this team hasn’t played together all that much this season and they are still learning. We think that lesson from the Game 5 loss will help them put together a more complete game here on Sunday. They have done very well during the restart after a loss and we think they will bounce back successfully as they have a bunch of times before in this spot. |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Dolphins +6.5 v. Patriots | 11-21 | Loss | -100 | 95 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #453 Miami Dolphins over New England Patriots (1p.m., Sunday, September 13 CBS) The Patriots are still the Patriots, but I just feel this is too many points to be giving against a divisional foe. Miami won at Foxboro in their last game of the 2019 season and should only be better this year under year 2 of Brian Flores. Miami is 6-1 ATS in their season opener over the last 7 years. The Patriots are 0-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 home games. Miami is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against AFC teams. |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Seahawks v. Falcons +2.5 | 38-25 | Loss | -110 | 95 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #462 Atlanta Falcons over Seattle Seahawks (1p.m., Sunday, September 13 FOX) Just do not believe the Seahawks have all that great of talent besides Russell Wilson. Seattle has failed to cover 5 straight season openers. Expect a lot of offense in this game but I believe the Falcons need this one more in order to get off to a good start in 2020. Atlanta won 6 of their last 8 games in 2019 to save the job on Dan Quinn. Matt Ryan will be able to hold his own in this game especially with the better offensive weapons that they have. Seattle is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings. |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Packers +3 v. Vikings | 43-34 | Win | 100 | 95 h 2 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #469 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (1p.m., Sunday, September 13 FOX) Many people are expecting Green Bay to fall back this year after going 13-3 in 2019. But we will gladly grab the points in this game, as the Packers have covered the spread in 4 straight games against the Vikings. QB Cousins is no match for QB Rodgers, as he is just 7-31 in his last 38 games against teams that finish the season with a winning record. Green Bay is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Week 1 games. |
|||||||
09-12-20 | Golden Knights v. Stars +152 | 1-2 | Win | 152 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Dallas over Vegas (Saturday at 8 pm) Let us take a shot with the Stars to win back-to-back games in the series. They played extremely well in the last game and should be able to use that momentum gained to capture a 3-1 series lead and put Vegas on the brink of elimination. Vegas still has a goaltending issue and we see that causing a distraction for the team which Dallas should be able to take advantage of. Great price on the Stars, so we'll take a shot with them here in this spot. |
|||||||
09-12-20 | Astros v. Dodgers -1.5 | 7-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #976 Los Angeles (NL) (-1.5, +125) over Houston (8:15 p.m. Saturday, September 12) Things could be a little tense tonight with these two clubs as they are meeting for the first time since the benches cleared back on July 29th. The Dodgers are still bitter about the 2017 World Series the Astros won and I think they are going to win this game. Julio Urias will be on the mound and he has never faced Houston which I think will benefit him. The Astros have been in a bit of a funk lately as they have lost eight of their last nine games as different guys have made stints on the injured list. Framber Valdez hasn't been at his best recently allowing 15 runs over his last three starts and it won't be any easier against the Dodgers lineup. I like LA in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-12-20 | Western Kentucky v. Louisville -11.5 | Top | 21-35 | Win | 100 | 78 h 4 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #406 Louisville Cardinals over WKU Hilltoppers (8p.m., Saturday, September 12 ACCN) Just liked how Louisville played in year one under Scott Satterfield winning 8 games including the Music City Bowl last time they took the field. They return a ton of playmakers on both sides of the football including Micale Cunningham, who threw for 22 touchdowns last year. They teams met last year at a neutral site and they game was over early with Louisville up 24 points at halftime before a minor comeback by WKU to only lose by 17 points. Louisville is expected to have some fans in the stands and that will only make this much more of a homefield edge. The Cardinals are 19-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 26 games against Conference USA teams. |
|||||||
09-12-20 | Rockets v. Lakers -6.5 | Top | 96-119 | Win | 102 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
We probably make plays on the Lakers less than any team in the NBA. They are a very public team, and their odds and normally shaded by the oddsmakers. But they do have value late in this series. The Rockets are a popular team also, and we expected this line to be around 8.5 with the way this series has gone the last couple games. The Lakers were shook out of their funk with the Game 1 loss, and they have rebounded nicely. They won and covered Games 2, 3 and 4, and the oddsmakers haven’t made a huge adjustment to this number. Houston is quite the dysfunctional team this season. They have looked disjointed since Game 1 and have some off court drama that is a distraction as well. We think the Lakers are in their heads big time, and the body language tells us this team doesn’t have much of a chance. We don’t think the Lakers take their foot off the gas tonight and expect them to roll in this likely final game of the series. |
|||||||
09-12-20 | Syracuse +22.5 v. North Carolina | 6-31 | Loss | -110 | 70 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #395 Syracuse Orange over North Carolina Tar Heels (12p.m., Saturday, September 12 ACCN) Just feel this spread has risen too high considering this is a conference game with no fans in attendance. The Orange played better down the stretch winning two of their last three games, both times they were underdogs. They return some talent on offense and should be able to score some points to keep up with North Carolina. The Tar Heels are loaded on offense as well, but Mack Brown teams have never been known to be offensive juggernauts. Expect the Orange to stay within this number, which has now gone over three touchdowns. Syracuse is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games played during the month of September. |
|||||||
09-11-20 | Celtics -2.5 v. Raptors | Top | 92-87 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
This is an easy call for Game 7 tonight. Boston is the better team, with the better coach. They will find a way to get the job done tonight. When Toronto has won in this series, they have needed some heroics. But when Boston has won, it has been by domination for the most part. They have had some mental lapses and should have put this one away awhile ago, but the cream will rise to the top tonight. Boston is on a 5-2 ATS run in this series, and they have been one of the most trustworthy ATS teams in the NBA for several years now. We think that there is a great chance they win this one by double digits tonight. |
|||||||
09-11-20 | Cubs +165 v. Brewers | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 7 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take #915 Chicago (NL) over Milwaukee (8:10 p.m. Friday, September 11) The Brewers are currently on the outside looking in for the playoffs with 19 games remaining and I think they are going to be a little farther away after tonight's contest. Brandon Woodruff has an ERA of 4.29 at home across 21 innings and the Cubs have knocked him around a bit in the two starts he has made against them this season. Jon Lester hasn't been very good over his last 5 starts for the Cubs, but he has pitched well when he has been on the road this season. Lester is 2-0 with a 2.95 ERA over 4 starts away from Wrigley Field without allowing a home run in 21.1 innings. I like Chicago in this one to extend their lead on Milwaukee. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-11-20 | Dream +1.5 v. Sun | 82-75 | Win | 100 | 2 h 56 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Atlanta +1 over Connecticut (Friday at 7pm). We had Conn when they blew the game against PHX in their latest loss. They played well but just don't have that closing mentality. Atlanta is not the greatest team but they've been competitive and with Conn all but locked into a playoff spot, we don't see them giving max effort against an ATL team that is all but out of it. This is a let down for Conn and with ATL off a solid win vs Chicago, we like them to keep the momentum rolling and stay within this number. |
|||||||
09-10-20 | Golden Knights -163 v. Stars | 2-3 | Loss | -163 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Vegas over Dallas (Thursday at 8pm) As per your selection on Vegas, we saw the real Knights team show up in Game 2 and play great hockey and even the series up at 1-1. We don't expect them to take their foot off the gas pedal in this one and we believe Vegas gets their second win in a row behind strong goaltending by Lehner and a relentless attack. Dallas may have have snuck away with Game 1, but have been badly outplayed for about 4.5 out of 6 periods so far this series. Take Vegas and lets cash another hockey ticket! |
|||||||
09-10-20 | Lakers -5 v. Rockets | Top | 110-100 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
We thought Houston would make some noise in this series, but after that Game 1 win, the Lakers have been dominating. We see the same tonight, and this is more than a fair spread, something you rarely get when betting on the Lakers. Houston just looks disjointed in the Bubble and they can’t often get a team effort on offense as someone gets cold at the wrong time seemingly too much. We think the Lakers will play lock down defense in this one, and we think there’s a great possibility that this is a blowout, which would bode well for the under. |
|||||||
09-10-20 | Astros v. A's UNDER 9 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Under Houston at Oakland (3:40 p.m. Thursday, September 10) Most people had the Astros winning the American League West this year, but injuries to them and some great play from the A's has Oakland sitting 5.5 games ahead of Houston. Oakland has taken 6 of the 9 games in the season series and will look to take the final game at home today. None of the nine games that have been played so far have gone over 9 runs and I don't expect this one to do that either. Sean Manaea has allowed just one earned run in each of his last three starts and I think he can limit Houston's offense that is missing Jose Altuve and Yordana Alvarez. Jose Urquidy will be making just his second start this season. Urquidy faced the Athletics last season allowing one run over 5 innings while striking out 10. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-10-20 | Paris St Germain v. RC Lens +0.75 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 12 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Competition: French Ligue 1. Take RC Lens +0.5 (+115) over PSG (Thursday at 3pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win. RC Lens must win or draw. As per your selection on RC Lens to grab at least a point in this matchup vs PSG, why not take a shot with them as they come off a couple of club-friendly wins after losing the Ligue 1 opener to Nice 2-1, a game in which they were in until the very end. They now get their Super Bowl of sorts early in the season, taking on a PSG side that's going to be without several key regulars as they have to miss the match due to COVID. PSG are still stinging from the loss to Bayern in the Champions League finals and with a second string team getting field, we'll gladly take Lens at plus money to keep this game close. |
|||||||
09-09-20 | Clippers -8 v. Nuggets | 96-85 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
The Clippers haven’t played well the last couple games. We expect them to get it together tonight. They see the Lakers doing well now in their series against the Rockets, so there is some emphasis now to get this series over with pronto. In the fourth quarter the Clippers turned the switch last time out and we think that momentum will carry over to tonight, where we are getting the best line in the series with the Clippers. |
|||||||
09-09-20 | Reds +143 v. Cubs | 3-0 | Win | 143 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #917 Cincinnati over Chicago (NL) (7:05 p.m. Tuesday, September 9) Besides his opening day start, Yu Darvish has been fantastic this season going 7-1 with a 1.44 ERA over 8 starts. He beat the Reds on August 29th 3-0 striking out 8, but the Reds had success against him. Cincinnati had 7 hits off Darvish in his 6 innings but could not string hits together to score some runs. I think the Reds will have confidence facing him so recently and the fact that one of their vocal leaders Trevor Bauer will be on the mound. Bauer has had great success against the Cubs in his career going 4-1 with a 1.41 ERA over 5 starts, and if his offense can give him some runs, I think he will lead them to victory. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-09-20 | Islanders v. Lightning -165 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over New York (Wednesday at 8pm) As per your selection on Tampa, it's really tough to go against them in Game 2 after their dominant display in Game 1. They were better and faster than the Isles and we don't see that changing within 48 hours. The Lightning are close enough to the Finals that they can taste it and we don't see any lack in effort or concentration creeping into their locker room today despite the blowout win in Game 1. Tampa is the better team and we'll take them here to go up 2-0 in the series. |
|||||||
09-09-20 | Mercury v. Sun +2.5 | 100-95 | Loss | -103 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. Take Connecticut over Phoenix (Wednesday at 7pm) As per your selection on Connecticut to get the job done, they just beat PHX on Monday by 15 points and we expect more of the same here tonight. Phoenix really struggles on the defensive end of the floor and we don't see a way how they will be able to stop this Sun's team who is playing some good basketball right now having won two straight while scoring 85 and 96 points. Phoenix is one of the most inconsistent teams in the Wubble as they have the talent but simply don't ever put forth a consistent effort. Griner is still? for PHX and we believe Conn will be able to dictate their play in this game once again. |
|||||||
09-09-20 | Raptors v. Celtics UNDER 209.5 | Top | 125-122 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 3 m | Show |
Every game in this series has gone under by 10 points or more, yet the bookies have not made that big of an adjustment on the total. Just don’t see this game being a breakout game on offense. Probably because of no travel and extra rest, these playoffs have trended to the under, and the bookies have done a lousy job on adjustments. Not matter, since we have been able to take advantage. We think the Celtics will play lockdown defense here and close this series out tonight and get ready for the Heat in an unlikely ECF matchup. |

The Lakers played great in Game 2, but this team just hasn’t shown the ability to consistently play like this in the Bubble. We think this will be a close game tonight, and the points look real attractive. We have stated it before, but we think the Lakers are a tad overrated this season and the bookies always shade the lines for their games. We think around 3 would be a more suitable line, so the extra couple points gives some nice value to what looks like a close game to us. |

09-08-20 | Stars v. Golden Knights -147 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Vegas over Dallas (Tuesday at 8:10pm) As per your selection on Vegas, sooner or later they are going to have to start scoring goals in order for them to win some hockey games. We believe they got their clunker out of the way in Game 1 and will be much sharper in this contest and grab the win. Look, game 1 was as sloppy as you could get and Dallas could only muster one goal on 25 shots. They were badly outplayed in the third, outshot 13-2 and we believe that'll have a carryover effect into Game 2. Take Vegas as they even the series at 1-1. |

09-08-20 | White Sox -125 v. Pirates | 4-5 | Loss | -125 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
10-Unit Play. Take #959 Chicago (AL) over Pittsburgh (7:05 p.m. Tuesday, September 8) The White Sox are in a groove and have been playing with a lot of confidence lately winning 16 of their last 20 contests. They clobbered the Pirates in a two-game series earlier this season outscoring them 14-3 and I think that is what is going to happen in this matchup. Dylan Cease has allowed more than two earned runs just once in his last seven starts and I think he will be able to limit Pittsburgh's offense. Joe Musgrove will be making his second start since returning from the IL and he has not been very good when he has pitched this season. Musgrove has lost all four of the games he has started this year and I think the White Sox lineup is going to present some problems for him. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-07-20 | Islanders v. Lightning -145 | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over New York Islanders (Monday at 8pm) As per your selection on Tampa Bay, we'll keep this selection short and sweet. Tampa is the fresher of the two teams and will likely be ready to go and get this series off a winning note, both for their mental and physical well-being. The Isles have been a solid team so far this postseason, but we don't see how they stack up against a Tampa squad that can score goals at will. Tampa knows they'll need to play their best hockey to get to the Finals and we believe they'll be ready to go for Game 1. |

09-07-20 | BYU -1.5 v. Navy | Top | 55-3 | Win | 100 | 105 h 16 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #243 BY Cougars over Navy Midshipman (8p.m., Monday, September 7 ESPN) The line movement tells me a lot for this game. Navy opened as a small home favorite of 2.5 but now BYU is favored at release time for this play. I always like extra time to prepare for the triple option and that is what BYU has for this game. QB Zach Wilson is back behind center for the Cougars and played better down the stretch last year winning 5 of his last 6 regular season games. Most year’s Navy has to rebuild and that is again the case this year losing their quarterback from last season. They were not as good as their record indicated last year and are just a middle of the pack team in the AAC this year. Navy is 1-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games against Independent teams. |

09-07-20 | Celtics -1.5 v. Raptors | 111-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Toronto played a real strong game on Saturday, but we are still very confident in Boston for this series and we think the cream will rise to the top tonight. Boston has been mostly excellent for the most part of three games in this four-game series, and they should have won Game 3 also if not for that Toronto buzzer beater. This is the most crucial game in the series thus far and we see the Boston defense really stepping up here to shit the Raptors down. |

09-07-20 | Marlins v. Braves -1.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #902 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Miami (1:10 p.m. Monday, September 7) The Braves are tied for the second best home record in baseball right now at 14-6 and I think they are going to add to that in this one. Ian Anderson has looked sharp winning in his two starts against the Yankees and Red Sox allowing 2 and 1 runs respectively while averaging over a strikeout an inning. Jose Urena will be making his season debut as he returns from Covid. Urena did not fair well against Atlanta last season losing both starts while allowing 4 home runs and 11 earned runs across 9 innings. I like the Braves to take game 1 of this series in Atlanta. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

5-Unit Play. Take Washington ML (-120) over Dallas (Sunday at 4pm) As per your selection on Washington, we think this line tells you all you need to know about this game. Washington has been brutal in the Wubble but here they are favorite over a Dallas team who is starting to fall apart a bit over their last handful of games going just 3-7 over their last 10 games. Washington is coming off a really good win and performance against Chicago and we believe they can build off that win and make it two straight wins. |

09-06-20 | Bucks v. Heat -1 | Top | 118-115 | Loss | -106 | 27 h 8 m | Show |
The oddsmakers finally adjusted this number, but it doesn’t seem like it was enough. The Bucks are cooked here in this series, and we think they will go out with a whimper today. Miami is playing some of their best basketball of the season right now in the Bubble. Giannis Antetokounmpo looks like he is playing through an injury, and the rest of the team has failed to step up. Milwaukee blew it in the playoff last season too, and it looks like we are going to see a repeat this year. It seems the Bucks have mentally left the building before this series. |

09-06-20 | Blue Jays -128 v. Red Sox | 10-8 | Win | 100 | 1 h 59 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play. Take #961 Toronto (-130) over Boston (1:35 p.m. Sunday, September 6) Robbie Ray and Andrew Triggs both have had rough seasons and that is probably why they are battling in the AL East instead of the NL West. Home runs and walks have been a big problem for Ray this year as he will be making his first start for the Blue Jays. If he can limit those I think he can come away with a win against the Red Sox who he hasn't faced since 2014. Triggs has only made two appearances this season so I don't expect him to be on top of his game and on a pitch count. Toronto needs a win to tie the season series for the year and I think that is just what they will do. |

09-05-20 | Nuggets v. Clippers -9 | Top | 110-101 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
After a grind-it out Game 7 win against Utah on Tuesday, it had to be demoralizing for the Nuggets to get spanked like they did in Game 1 Thursday against the Clippers. It showed us that Denver doesn’t have much of a chance in this series. And Denver probably knows that, too. Not sure what adjustments they can make here when the Clippers barely broke a sweat in Game 1 and the starters were able to hit the bench early. That is now three straight meetings the Clippers won by double digits. This is what LA has been working towards all season. They are completely healthy now and playing great team basketball. The bench is devastating when the starters need a break. They are much more fresh and rested than Denver. The Clippers have always had trouble in this round but this is by far the best squad in team history and we think they really want to make quick work of this series. With max effort, which we think they will provide, we think a double-digit win is a certainty. |

09-05-20 | Raptors v. Celtics -1 | 100-93 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Toronto needed a miracle buzzerbeater in Game 3 just to have a chance in this series now. Toronto failed to cover Game 3 and they are now 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings, all which took place in the Bubble. Two of those were double-digit wins. Toronto has a better regular-season record, but Boston is the better team in our opinion and they are playing some of their best basketball of the season at the right time. We think they will be determined here in Game 4 and will play one of their best games of the series after blowing a chance to put Toronto at the edge of elimination at the end of Game 3. Boston has been one of the best ATS teams for years, and that is a sign of great coaching. We expect them to shine on Saturday. |

09-05-20 | Padres +108 v. A's | 4-8 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 9 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #901 San Diego over Oakland (4:10 p.m. Saturday, September 5) Oakland didn't look good in their first game in five days as they had to take precautions with one of their players getting Covid, but playing against the Padres has done that to most teams. Chris Paddack hasn't been as effective this year as most thought he would be, but he may have figured something out in his last start. Paddack didn't allow an earned run over 6 innings while striking out 8 Rockies in a 13-2 Padres win and I think he can have similar results against the A's who he has never faced. Sean Manaea will take the mound for Oakland and even though he has won his last two starts his ERA at home in three starts is over 6 on the year and I think he will have a tough time navigating the San Diego lineup. I like the Dads to win this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-05-20 | Middle Tennessee State v. Army -3 | 0-42 | Win | 100 | 51 h 42 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #242 Army Black Knights over Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (1:30p.m., Saturday, September 5 CBSSN) This game was added in August and thus the Blue Raiders do not have as much time as normal to prepare for the triple option. The Black Nights took a step back in 2019 but look to turn things around in 2020 and this is important game for them in hopes of having a winning season. MTSU is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played during the month of September. Army is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games played during the month of September. 82% of the money is coming in on Army and that is usually a key indicator early in the season. |

09-04-20 | Rockets +6.5 v. Lakers | Top | 112-97 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Really like Houston to make some noise in this series. They had a real tough series against the Thunder, but this is a veteran team and a hungry one. Plus, the Lakers are a tad bit overrated. And they haven’t often played to their potential in the Bubble. Not to mention they are often overrated by the oddsmakers. Houston has Westbrook back now, and he is getting back into the mix and should have a good series. And Harden won’t stay cold long. Houston is s veteran team, so we don’t see them having a hard time getting up for this matchup even though they just played in a real tough Game 7. |
|||||||
09-03-20 | Nuggets v. Clippers -9 | 97-120 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Denver gutted out a Game 7 win vs. Utah and they were literally inches from being sent home. They were already tired coming into this game (they managed only 80 points in Game 7) and they really laid it all on the line in that one. The Clippers dominated in their last two games in Dallas and they should have their full roster tonight as Pat Bev is expected to return. This team is rested and hungry. The Clips have won the last two meetings by double digits, and in this unique Bubble restart the Nugs got only one night off after their grueling Game 7 and we think they are in real trouble tonight in what should be a blowout by the favorite. |
|||||||
09-03-20 | South Alabama +15 v. Southern Miss | 32-21 | Win | 100 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #235 South Alabama Jaguars +13 over Southern Miss Golden Eagles (9p.m., Thursday, September 3 CBSSN) This line opened at 16 but has come down under two touchdown and we will side with the line movement. The Golden Eagles did not perform well down the stretch losing three straight games by double digits to close out the 2019 season. USA is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. Southern Miss is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games played on Thursday. |
|||||||
09-03-20 | White Sox -130 v. Royals | 11-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. Take #913 Chicago (AL) over Kansas City (8:05 p.m. Thursday, September 3) These two teams met less than a week ago with the White Sox taking two of three and I think they are going to start this series off with a win. Dylan Cease has squared off against Kansas City twice this season and has been pretty good going 1-0 with a 2.61 ERA holding them to a .171 batting average. Danny Duffy has the ball for the Royals and he has been up and down this season. He hasn't been very good when pitching at home so far this season as he is ERA is 5.00 and he allowed 2 home runs in his only start against the White Sox this season. It doesn't help Kansas City that Jorge Solar most likely won't play today because he hurt his oblique and was removed from last night's game. I like the White Sox in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-03-20 | Aces v. Sun UNDER 162 | 93-78 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. Take Under 162 points - Las Vegas vs Connecticut (Thursday at 8pm). As per your selection on the under in this game between Las Vegas and Connecticut, you have to feel like Vegas is going to be pissed off about losing their last game to PHX and giving up 92 points in the process. The Aces have played exceptionally good basketball over their last 10 games and most of that has been predicated on great defense which eluded them on Tuesday. They should be able to clamp down defensively against a Sun's team that has scored more than 80 points in just 2 of their last nine contests. We expect the Sun to struggle here today and the Aces to grab a low scoring win, something that should please their coach. The Under is 6-2-1 in the Aces last 9 vs the East and 9-3 in the Sun's last 12 vs the West. |
|||||||
09-03-20 | Flyers v. Islanders -115 | 5-4 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take New York Islanders over Philadelphia (Thursday at 7pm) We are on the Islanders today again in hopes they close out the series vs the Flyers. The Isles have been the better team throughout the series and we don't believe Philly has what it takes to win this game and force a Game 7. |
|||||||
09-03-20 | Raptors v. Celtics UNDER 217 | Top | 104-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
The public is betting the over while the NBA is trending to the under in the Bubble. So the bookies are afraid to post totals too low. That is why we are still seeing value in the under here after Games 1 and 2 went under by about 30 points combined. And they oddsmakers just made a minimal adjustment to this line. Seven of eight games from Boston have gone under the posted total and four of five for Toronto. Game 3 is crucial here for both teams. The Raptors are toast if they lose this one. And Boston wants to finish this series quick, especially with the Bucks facing some real trouble in their series against Miami. We think both defenses, two of the best in the NBA that are playing in top form now, will rise to the occasion once again. |
|||||||
09-02-20 | Thunder v. Rockets UNDER 217.5 | Top | 102-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
The last two games have been defensive battles, and we see the same here tonight. There is really no precedent for play in the Bubble, but we saw last night for Utah/Denver Game 7 how things could go in a Game 7. These teams are tired. The Bubble is taking its toll with the protests and the games every other day. That game last night didn’t even crack 160. We don’t see this one being that low scoring, but we do think the defenses will lock down in this crucial game and that the offenses might be lagging as they haven’t been great lately and there’s a good chance they could take another step back tonight. The Thunder will have to rely on their defense to stay in the game, and we expect a close, low-scoring game in this one tonight. |
|||||||
09-02-20 | Rangers v. Astros -1.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 60 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #974 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Texas (8:10 p.m. Wednesday, September 2) The Astros showed some rust last night following a couple days off to some unusual circumstances, but I think they will bounce back tonight and get back on track with a win. Christian Javier will be on the mound for Houston and he has been impressive when pitching at Minute Maid Park. Javier is 2-0 with a 1.96 ERA over 18.1 innings while holding opponents to a .119 batting average. This will be the first time Javier has faced Texas which I think is an advantage for him as he is averaging a strikeout per inning so far on the season. Koby Allard will be pitching for the Rangers and Texas has lost his last three starts. Allard has been crushed on the road this season going 0-2 with an 12.91 ERA across three starts. Houston gets it done in this contest. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-02-20 | Avalanche -110 v. Stars | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Colorado over Dallas (Wednesday at 8pm) As per your selection on Colorado to win this game and force a Game 7, we believe that the Avs finally woke up and you saw that in their dominating 6-3 win on Monday. The Avs are clearly the better team with more scoring and better depth and we believe that'll come to the forefront once again in Game 6. Dallas is extremely inconsistent and we can't see them winning this game tonight. |

09-02-20 | Chicago Fire +126 v. FC Cincinnati | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Competition: MLS. Take Chicago Fire ML (+115) over Cincinnati FC (Wednesday at 7:30pm). Includes 90 minutes + Injury Time. As per your selection on Chicago Fire to beat Cincinnati FC, we believe that Chicago is the better team and should be able to get back in the win column after falling 3-1 to NYCFC in their latest game. Chicago is a team that likes to attack and we believe they can dictate the tempo and pace of this game and create plenty of chances to capitalize on. Cincy FC is a team that prefers to defend and play 10 guys behind the ball and we just don't see where a goal will come from for them. Chicago will win this game and we'll cash another soccer ticket. |

09-02-20 | Lynx +3.5 v. Sky | 86-83 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take Minnesota over Chicago (Wednesday at 7pm) As per your selection on Minnesota to stay within this number, we believe they can win this game outright as they've been playing some stellar basketball of late, going 5-2 over their last seven games with wins over good teams like LA and PHX. The Sky on the other hand has lost two of their last three games, despite a 100-point performance again Indiana in their last game. This will be just the second meeting between these two teams in the bubble with Minnesota taking the first game by two points. We expect an extremely close game between these to and likely a similar result to the first meeting. Take Minnesota ATS and let's cash another WNBA ticket. |
|||||||
09-01-20 | Jazz v. Nuggets | Top | 78-80 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 40 m | Show |
Denver seemingly took all the momentum in this series, but you can throw all that out the window as the season comes down to one game here. Despite the season records, we think Utah is a tad bit better as a team. Remember, like always this team got off to a slow start but started playing better as the season went on. We think they will come out focused and determined tonight and will advance to play the Clippers in Round 2. We really think their defense will step up and play one of the best games of the series on the defensive end. |

09-01-20 | Fever v. Dream -1 | 90-102 | Win | 100 | 2 h 11 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take Atlanta +1.5 over Indiana (Tuesday at 8pm) As per your selection on Atlanta, we believe they are the better team in this matchup and that the wrong team is favored. Atlanta has played in some close games against top teams like the Sparks and Lynx so we know they can be competitive and have the ability to fight to the very end. Indiana has lost four straight and they've been blown out in three of those games. Again the wrong team is favored in our opinion and we'll gladly take the points |

09-01-20 | Braves -1.5 v. Red Sox | 10-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 43 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #913 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Boston (7:30 p.m. Tuesday, September 1) The Braves starting pitching has been brutal this season outside of Max Fried. Ian Anderson was Atlanta's top pitching prospect and impressed in his debut against the Yankees. Anderson went 6 innings and allowed 1 earned run on 1 hit while striking out 6 in a 5-1 win. I think he can have that same kind of success against a Boston lineup that has had its struggles all season. Kyle Hart is the scheduled ?starter? for Boston but he is more of a reliever and will most likely pitch 3-4 innings. Hart hasn't made it through 4 innings in any of his three starts and has gotten rocked in all three, allowing 13 earned runs on 17 hits across 9 innings. I like Atlanta in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

7-Unit Play. Take New York Islanders over Philadelphia Flyers (Tuesday at 7 pm) As per your selection on the Islanders, no sense writing up a million words when the series was over after the last game. The Islanders are the better team and Philly just looks disinterested and like they'd rather be anywhere else. The Islanders will win this game and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. |

09-01-20 | Celtics +1.5 v. Raptors | 102-99 | Win | 101 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
Throw the regular season results out the window in this series. We think in this current climate that Boston is the better team and we had them favored in our handicapping in this series and we think they have a great chance to go up 2-0 tonight. Boston is playing some of their best basketball of the season in the bubble and they have won and covered in four of the last five meetings between these teams. We think they have the upper hand again here as they match up well with Toronto. Boston is the more confident team now and we think it shows on the court today. |

08-31-20 | Sparks v. Lynx +6 | 78-96 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Minnesota over Los Angeles (Monday at 10pm) As per your selection on Minnesota, both of these teams played last night and both of them played in close ball games. Minnesota fell to Phx while LA squeaked by ATL. Tonight, I see a very close ball game with both teams suffering from fatigue, and both teams shooting the ball extremely poorly. Minnesota will want to avenge a loss vs LA they suffered on Aug 9, while LA will be looking to push their nine-game winning streak to 10. The Lynx has been a solid team so far in the bubble and they will be a formidable opponent here tonight. Grab the points and let's cash another WNBA ticket! |

08-31-20 | White Sox -127 v. Twins | 8-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #967 Chicago (AL) over Minnesota (8:10 p.m., Monday, August 31) Lucas Giolito looks to follow up his first no hitter against the Twins who are struggling mightily. Giolito has actually been really good over his last five starts allowing more than 2 earned runs just once over that span. The White Sox also have the chance to be in first place with a win today for extra motivation. Rich Hill is still trying to build up his arm strength and Minnesota has lost both of his starts since his return. I don't expect Hill to go deep into this game, especially with the White Sox offense. I like Chicago to take game 1 of this series. Best of Luck - DOC's Sports |

08-31-20 | Bruins v. Lightning -116 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over Boston (Monday at 7pm) As per your selection on Tampa Bay to win this game and close out the series, they've been the better team over the last three games by far and we just don't see a way back for Boston considering they are having trouble scoring and staying out of the penalty box. Once again, Tampa has the better overall team and better goaltender of the two teams and it's showing as Tampa is inching closer to trying to get over the sting of last season's playoff disappointment. Tampa will want to win this game tonight and end the series as opposed to giving Boston new life and a second chance at staving off elimination in a potential Game 6. |
|||||||
08-31-20 | Heat v. Bucks UNDER 224 | Top | 115-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
This series has a strong history for the under in recent meetings with six of the last eight meetings going under the posted total. The Heat are one of the better defensive clubs in the league, and they have been off for a week so they should have a lot of intensity to bring on the defensive end. We expect some great energy on that side of the ball as Miami wants to set the tone here in Game 1. The Bucks didn’t really get tested in their first series, but we think they will be here by the underrated Heat tonight. We think the bookies made a mistake on this Game 1 total. |

08-30-20 | Flyers v. Islanders -121 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take New York Islanders over Philadelphia Flyers (Sunday at 8 pm) We were on the Flyers last night, but I am convinced that no matter what they do they just will not win. More so, the Islanders are like cockroaches in a sense that they just do not die regardless of how poorly they play they seem to keep coming back to win. I am on board the Islanders tonight and I think they push Philly to the brink of elimination. The Flyers coach called out his big guns after yesterday's loss, but I do not see them responding. Take the Islanders tonight. |
|||||||
08-30-20 | Clippers v. Mavs +10.5 | Top | 111-97 | Loss | -101 | 3 h 21 m | Show |
We were on the Rockets yesterday because we thought they benefited more from the boycott than did the Thunder. We think the same way about the Mavs today. The Clippers were at the center of a lot of the activity during the boycott. Coach Doc Rivers was center stage, and the Clippers reportedly were one of the teams, along with the Lakers, that wanted to end the season. They had the Mavs on the ropes after their big 40+-point win, and they looked primed to end this series. But now Dallas had a chance to reset. Luka Doncic had extra time to rest his ankle. Dallas will be without Porzingis likely for the rest of this series. But they have become used to playing without him, and Doncic is the type of player, like Curry for Golden State, who elevates the play of the guys around him. We think this game will be similar to the Lakers game last night where a Damian Lillard-less Portland stayed within 10 and covered the number. The Lakers were the other team that reportedly wanted to end the season, and its stars were front and center during the boycott. But in this Clippers game we have the biggest spread of the series, and we think it’s an overreaction to that Game 5 result. |

08-29-20 | Austin Peay State v. Central Arkansas OVER 43 | 17-24 | Loss | -110 | 57 h 12 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #308902 Over in Austin Peay Governors @ Central Arkansas Bears (9p.m., Saturday, August 29 ESPN) College Football is back and this is the lone game of week 0. These two teams met last year and it was more of a defensive struggle but we believe things will open up this year. Central Arkansas likes to move the football through the air and averaged close to 300 yards passing per game. Austin Peay averaged over 34 points per game last year and I see both teams reaching the 20’s in points. We will not worry about won wins this game and just focus our attention on the total. |

08-29-20 | Chicago Fire v. New York +105 | 1-3 | Win | 105 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take New York City FC ML -110 over Chicago (Saturday at 7 pm). Includes 90 minutes + Injury time. As per your selection on NYCFC to get the win over Chicago, we believe they are the better team, and with them playing at home in this matchup that should make a world of difference. NYCFC has a good bubble experience and won their first game out of the bubble 1-0 against a very good Columbus team. That'll be a momentum-building win for the men from NY whereas Chicago had lost three straight prior to beating a poor Cincinnati squad. NYCFC gets the win here tonight and we cash another soccer ticket. |

08-29-20 | Flyers +100 v. Islanders | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Philadelphia +100 over New York Islanders (Saturday @ 7pm) As per your selection on Philadelphia, we believe the OT win followed by some rest will actually do the Flyers well as they can regroup and get back to doing what they do best. Philly finally got contributions from up and down the lineup in Game 2 and we expect their depth scoring to come to the forefront in this one and help out the cause. The Islanders did well to come back in that OT game but all that extended energy and juice used to only lose in OT will likely be a hindrance in Game 3. Let's roll with the Flyers here tonight. |
|||||||
08-29-20 | Thunder v. Rockets -4.5 | Top | 80-114 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show |
The extra days off for the boycott really helped the Rockets. OKC had them on the ropes with two straight wins, but the time off gave Houston a chance to reset and stifled the momentum for the Thunder. And now the Rockets get Russell Westbrook back for this Saturday game and they have the best chance to take control of this series. Westbrook has been lighting it up in practice and he should be a game changer for the rest of this series. OKC has been a nice story this year and they have come together to have a very nice season above expectations. But the Rockets are the much better team and we expect them to play a well-rounded game tonight in what should be a comfortable win. |
|||||||
08-29-20 | Indians v. Cardinals -130 | 2-1 | Loss | -130 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #954 St. Louis over Cleveland (1:15 p.m. Saturday, August 29) St. Louis has lost three games in a row and there isn't any pitcher they would rather have on the mound to snap that streak than Jack Flaherty. Flaherty has looked great in his three appearances so far this season yielding just three earned runs over those starts. However, he has not logged very many innings because of the Cardinals needing a break due to a Covid outbreak, but I think he will be able to go longer into this contest. Carlos Carrasco hasn't made it past the 5th inning in his last three starts because he has been getting roughed up in those starts allowing at least 3 earned runs in each. Cleveland rocked the Cardinals last night so I expect St. Louis to bounce back in this one and get the win. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

08-28-20 | Mystics v. Mercury -2 | 72-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Phoenix -3.5 over Washington (Friday at 10pm) As per your selection on Phoenix, we believe they are the better team in this matchup especially with how we've seen Washington play over their last 10 games. The Mystics are 1-9 in those 10 matchups and have essentially thrown in the tower on both ends of the court, continuously giving up 85+ points, and scoring barely over 75 in very many games. We knew they were going to be in tough without their MVP, but this is next-level bad. Phoenix has the talent on their roster to win this game and cover this spread. |

08-28-20 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Rangers | 2-6 | Loss | -134 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #923 LA Dodgers (-1.5, -140) over Texas (8:05 p.m. Wednesday, August 28) It is a surprise to no one that the Dodgers have the best record in baseball with the depth and talent they have on offense, defense, and pitching. Dustin May hasn't allowed more than 2 earned runs in any of his 6 starts, but has failed to pitch deep into games because of high pitch counts. The Rangers have been in a funk losing 10 of their last 11 games and nothing points to them breaking out of that slump tonight with Mike Minor scheduled to pitch tonight. Minor hasn't won a game yet this season and he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in four out of his six starts this season. I think the Dodgers keep it moving forward and get the win in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

08-26-20 | Lightning -103 v. Bruins | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over Boston (Wednesday at 8pm) We like the Lightning to make it back-to-back winners tonight as we believe they are the fresher of the two teams and with these games being played in less than 24 hours from each other, the Lightning should have more in the tank to offer than the Bruins. The Bruins are already torn on which goalie to start, saying Halak is too old to play twice in 24 hours. That's already somewhat creating an excuse and we believe sooner or later the Lightning is going to break out in a big way and dominate the full 60 minutes. Great spot to take the Lightning here off a great OT win. |

08-26-20 | Cubs -119 v. Tigers | Top | 6-7 | Loss | -119 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #911 Chicago (NL) over Detroit (7:10 p.m. Wednesday, August 26) The Cubs and Tigers both got off to great starts to their seasons but have had their struggles recently. Fortunately for the Cubs, they are still in first place in their division while Detroit is in fourth. Jon Lester will be on the mound for Chicago tonight and he has not been particularly good in his past couple of starts, allowing 13 earned runs and 6 home runs. However, those games were at Wrigley Field where the wind can bring any pitcher to their knees. Lester has made two starts on the road this year and he has been outstanding, winning both contests allowing 1 earned run on 3 hits over 11 innings. Michael Fulmer will take the ball for Detroit and it has been a rough go for him as he is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery last season. Fulmer has made four starts while being on a 3-inning limit and has allowed 12 earned runs and 6 home runs across 11.1 innings. These teams have split the first two games of this series scoring 10 runs apiece and I think the Cubs are going to win this game and take the series. Look for a bounce back from Lester and look for Fulmer's struggles to continue. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

08-26-20 | Sarajevo v. Brest UNDER 2.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 4 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play - Champions League Qualification. Take Over 2.5 Goals (-115) - Dynamo Brest vs Sarajevo (Wednesday at 2pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. As per your selection on the Over in this matchup, Dynamo Brest's defense leaves a lot to be desired. They've given up 10 goals over their last five games, winning two of those games. They come up against a Sarajevo team who has scored in their last 10 matches. This game is essentially both teams Super Bowl as winning this game and progressing to the next stage of qualifying would be the best part of their respective seasons to date. Both teams play a wide-open style of football and we expect plenty of chances and goals in this game. |

4-Unit Play - Take Vancouver +1.5 (-135) over Vegas (Tuesday at 9:45 pm) As per your selection on Vancouver to keep this game close, they got the stinker out of the way in Game 1 as they were utterly dominated by a solid Vegas team. This Vancouver team is a resilient team and one that bounces back well from losses and we believe Markstrom will have himself a great game in net and help his team keep this one close. |

08-25-20 | Mavs v. Clippers -7.5 | Top | 111-154 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show |
This series is tied now after an incredible performance from Dallas in Game 4. But if you look at the Clippers results in The Bubble, they have suffered four losses since the restart, and every time they came back and played to their capabilities, covering in all those games. All but one win came by double digits. In Game 4 Dallas saw one of the best performances in playoff history by Luka Doncic. Not only was he going off, but some of the role players had excellent games as well. But even with the Mavs playing out of their minds, they still needed OT and an amazing buzzer-beater just to win the game on a night the Clippers just didn’t play well for most of the game. As recent history has show, LA knows how to follow up a lousy performance with a great one. Paul George has been the blame for a lot of the Clippers problems with his shooting slump. He will get out of this slump before too long. And it will probably be tonight. We expect to see an incredibly focused Clippers group tonight, and we think they will play to their potential. It’s doubtful that Doncic will have anywhere near the game he had last time out, and the role players are due for regression. |

08-25-20 | Liberty +18.5 v. Sky | 101-99 | Win | 100 | 3 h 44 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take New York +19.5 over Chicago (Tuesday at 7pm) As per your selection on New York to keep this within three touchdowns - this is way too many points here. This is a random WNBA game on a Tuesday night between two teams who are on opposite ends of the standings and a game that has no business being lined up at -19.5. The Liberty have been competitive in games this season and the Sky has shown they can play down to the level of their opposition which bodes well for a Liberty cover. Chicago has Indian and Seattle on deck - two games which are far more crucial to them than this one vs the Liberty. We expect Chicago to do just enough to win this game, but not by 20. |

08-25-20 | New England v. DC United UNDER 2.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. Competition. MLS. Take Under 2.5 Goals - New England vs DC United (Tuesday at 7:00 pm) Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. As per your selection on the under in this matchup between New England and DC United, these two teams struggle mightily to score goals and we just don't see where three goals are coming from this game. The Revolution scored exactly two goals in five games in the bubble whereas DC scored three goals in four games. Both teams keep clean sheets extremely well and with the lack of scoring prowess on either side, this makes for a very slow and low event type of game. The under 2.5 has also his in three of the last four meetings between these two sides. |

08-25-20 | Phillies -120 v. Nationals | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #951 Philadelphia over Washington (6:05 p.m. Tuesday, August 25) The Nationals and Phillies are not where they want to be at this point in the season which is tied for last place in the National League East. Jake Arrieta is hoping to get his season back on track and he typically pitches well at Nationals Park which I think he will do. Bryce Harper is having a great season batting .320 and 19 RBI while J.T. Realmuto leads the team with 8 home runs and 22 RBI. They will be facing Erick Fedde who has not done well when he has extra rest in between starts in his career. Fedde's ERA is 5.32 in 13 career starts when he has six or more days of rest and he last pitched on August 14th. I think the Phillies are going to get the win in the first matchup between these teams this season. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

08-24-20 | Stars v. Avalanche -147 | 5-2 | Loss | -147 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Colorado over Dallas (Monday at 9:45pm) As per your selection on Colorado, they got caught by surprise in Game 1 against the Stars as Dallas took the play to the Avs right from the opening face-off. Colorado was fresh off an easy series win and didn't quite get up to speed quick enough to stay in the game as they were down 3-1 and never recovered. The Avs are still the better team in this series and this will be a bounce-back game from them and we expect them to win this game and even the series at 1-1. Dallas has played extremely good hockey over the last four periods, but are far too inconsistent to maintain that level of play for another game. |

08-24-20 | Lakers -7 v. Blazers | Top | 135-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
Before the series we thought the Blazers might make more noise in this series. But the Game 1 loss was a wakeup call for the Lakers, and we think they have all the momentum here in this series. The Bubble is an interesting place. In a normal NBA playoff series, the change in venue means a lot and can get the underdog back into the series. But there is no homecoming for the Blazers, and they are in a real tough spot here now. They are on the ropes. They started the playoffs early with the seeding games and then the play in game, and this team just looks tired and defeated. With no home-court to go back to, we think morale is low. The Lakers losing the first game was the best thing for them. That made them focus, and now we think they want to end this series ASAP as some of the other Western Conference teams are now in a dogfight in their series. We rarely bet on the Lakers as they are normally shaded by the oddsmakers and there is rarely value. But we think this line is more than fair tonight. We think this one has a great chance to be a double-digit win for the Lakers. |

08-24-20 | Royals v. Cardinals UNDER 8 | Top | 3-9 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take Under in Kansas City at St. Louis (8:15 p.m. Monday, August 24) Brad Keller has been nearly unhittable so far this year, and so good that he has not allowed a run yet in his three starts. He has had success against the Cardinals in the past and I think he can keep them off balance and limit them in this one. Jack Flaherty will have the ball for St. Louis and he has just made two starts because of Covid and was solid in both. St. Louis is still working its way back from Covid issues and they should be getting Paul Dejong back today. I think the pitchers will win out in this one and this game stays under. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

08-23-20 | Nuggets v. Jazz OVER 215 | Top | 127-129 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
Both teams have been trending to the over. Ten of the last 11 games for Denver have gone over the posted total. Seven of the last nine games for Utah have gone over. Utah’s offense really played well last time out as they scored 124 in a blowout win. We expect the momentum from that offensive explosion to carry over into this one tonight. This is a crucial game for the Nuggets, and we expect them to be much more competitive, and we don’t see the Utah defense shutting them down twice in a row. They scored 124 in Game 2, just as Utah did in Game 3, and we think both teams will get their points here in this one tonight. One game already went to OT in this series, and this one looks to be close as well, so OT is always a possibility, which is great for over bettors like us. But we don’t think they will need the extra five minutes here as we think this one will get over 220 at the end of regulation. |

08-23-20 | Bruins -104 v. Lightning | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay -115 over Boston (Sunday at 8pm) As per your selection on Tampa, we believe they are the more complete team in this series and as such will get off to a winning start in Game 1 vs Boston. The Lightning has more depth, better goaltending and better defensive than the Bruins and we believe they are a team that's motivated beyond belief after the disappointment of last season. The Lightning made quick work of a stingy Columbus team and they should have no problems with a Boston team who was consistently outplayed vs the Hurricanes despite taking the series 4-1. Take Tampa and let's cash another hockey ticket! |
|||||||
08-23-20 | Clippers -7.5 v. Mavs | 133-135 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
We have to hold back on the bet size on this one because of the uncertain status of Dallas star Luka Doncic. He is the engine that makes this team run, and he is a game-time decision today. But if anyone saw Game 3, it would be a stretch to think he could be a factor even if he plays. It looks like that ankle was bothering him pretty badly. With or without Doncic, the Clippers are the call here. They have dominated the Mavs this season. They haven’t played their best in this series and are still in the driver’s seat. We think they want a good showing here and to be in a position to end this series early. The Mavs spirit may be broken after Game 3. |

08-22-20 | Diamondbacks -155 v. Giants | 1-5 | Loss | -155 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #929 Arizona (-155) over San Francisco (9:15 p.m. Saturday, August 22) Arizona has dropped three games in a row, but they have an excellent shot at ending that streak tonight with Zac Gallen on the mound. Gallen hasn't allowed more than 2 earned runs in any of his 5 starts this season and the Diamondbacks have won four out of his five starts. Tyler Anderson will be on the bump for San Francisco and he has been roughed up in his past two starts allowing 4 and 5 earned runs respectively. Arizona has scored plenty of runs against Anderson in the past and I don't see why tonight would be any different. I like the D'backs in this one. |
|||||||
08-22-20 | Rockets v. Thunder +2.5 | Top | 107-119 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show |
We are confident this series is not over, and although we think the Rockets will advance, we think the Thunder will make some noise, and this is a must win game for them tonight. The Rockets are a pretty inconsistent team and we just don’t see them playing in top form again here tonight, and the Thunder have been one of the safest ATS bets all season. This team doesn’t give up, and they will be confident going into this game and they have the belief they can win the series. We expect to see the best game we have seen thus far from them tonight in this series and expect them to score the straight up win. |

08-21-20 | Lynx v. Mercury -2 | 90-80 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Phoenix over Minnesota (Friday at 10pm) As per your selection on Phoenix to cover this short line, we like this spot for them as a bounce-back as they were beaten by a good LA team last time out a game in which we laid the points with the Sparks. Now they get a Minnesota team that's won three of their last four games but have played bad teams such as the Liberty, wings, and a brutal Mystics squad. We feel as though Phx simply has too many options offensively for Minnesota to contend with and we like for the Mercury to get back in the win column here tonight. The Lynx are 1-5 ATs in their last 6 vs the West while Phx is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 as favorites and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 1 days rest. |
|||||||
08-21-20 | Blues v. Canucks +120 | 2-6 | Win | 120 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Vancouver over St. Louis (Friday at 9:45pm) As per your selection on Vancouver, we believe they are the better team in this series despite being the younger and vastly more inexperienced squad. They have the better goaltender in the series by far and he's been brilliant over the first five games and essentially single-handily kept them in the last game where they prevailed in OT. The Blues look a bit lost, similar to how Washington played in their series against the Islanders, so we will gladly take plus-money on a younger, faster, hungrier team that's one game away from advancing to the next round. |
|||||||
08-21-20 | Clippers -4.5 v. Mavs | Top | 130-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
Since the restart, the Clippers have bounce back well after every loss. In fact, they came back every time with a double-digit win. They are 8-1 ATS after getting beat by double digits. That is the sign of a very good team, and we think they will bounce back well here. That Game 2 win by Dallas was their first of the year against the Clippers. Los Angeles didn’t play well, and Dallas played a great game. But we expect a more well rounded effort tonight. The Clippers are in real trouble if they lose here, as Game 3 is one of the most crucial in a seven-game series. The Clippers don’t often play two bad games in a row, and Doc Rivers will make the needed adjustments for a big win tonight. |
|||||||
08-21-20 | Brewers -132 v. Pirates | 2-7 | Loss | -132 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #957 Milwaukee over Pittsburgh (7:05 p.m. Friday, August 21) The Brewers haven't played as well as they would have liked so far this year and have had their struggles at the plate. Playing the Pirates has helped a lot of teams break out of their funk and I think that will happen tonight. Chad Kuhl will be on the mound tonight and he has transitioned from the bullpen to a starter because of injuries. The Pirates have lost both of Kuhl's starts and he has allowed 3 home runs over those 9 innings. Adrian Houser has been pretty good so far for the Brewers bringing a 3.27 ERA into his fifth start tonight. The Brewers have won all four of the games Houser has started this season and Christian Yelich is starting to find his swing. I like Milwaukee in game 1 of this series. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

08-20-20 | Diamondbacks v. A's -142 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #922 Oakland over Arizona (9:40 p.m. Thursday, August 20) Sean Manaea hasn't been very good so far this season but he has only faced opponents within the division. He pitched better in his most recent start and I think he will deliver a solid performance against the Diamondbacks who he has faced just once in his career. Alex Young will be making his second start as he is filling in for Madison Bumgarner who is injured. Oakland has played better at home this year and I think they get a split in this series with a win tonight. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

08-20-20 | Islanders -105 v. Capitals | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play - Take New York Islanders over Washington (Thursday at 8pm) As per your selection on the Islanders, we just don't see Washington winning two straight games to stave off elimination. Make no mistakes about it, the Islanders have a five minutes lapse in the second, blowing a 2-0 lead which caused Washington to score twice and gain momentum. the other 11 periods of the series, the Islanders have been far and away the better team. They are better coached and I believe Trotz will have his team ready to make sure they don't let this game get away. |
|||||||
08-20-20 | Thunder +2.5 v. Rockets | Top | 98-111 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 15 m | Show |
We think this line looks pretty fishy like the bookies are begging for Rockets money here. The Thunder got thrashed in Game 1, and yet the odds stayed the same for Game 2 when you would normally expect an adjustment. We like to be on the side of the bookies, and we think the Thunder are the clear play here today. They are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 after a beatdown of double-digits, and we think they will bounce back well once again here and even this series up today. Houston is shorthanded without Westbrook and the Thunder have been a great bet all season as one of the best ATS teams in the NBA. Houston has been erratic this season; they can look great one game and lousy the next. They rely too much on certain players, and with Westbrook out, that hurts if a couple other guys go cold. The Thunder just seem like a steady team that plays strong team basketball and we think they will bounce back well once again today. |
|||||||
08-20-20 | Heat v. Pacers +4 | 109-100 | Loss | -103 | 1 h 53 m | Show | |
We think this is a pretty evenly matches series. Looks like Oladipo is good to go for the Pacers today, so that really helps them. The Pacers didn’t play well at all in Game 1, but we expect them to give a much better effort here today. These teams are very familiar with each other lately, and that will only help the Pacers today in the underdog role. We thought the bookies should have adjusted this line since the Pacers backs will be against the wall with a loss here, and we would lean to Indiana at 2, which we think is the more appropriate line. We expect a close game and we think the Pacers have a great shot at the win. |
|||||||
08-19-20 | Mercury v. Sparks -6 | 74-83 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Los Angeles over Phoenix (Wednesday at 10pm) As per your selection on Los Angeles, we believe this is a great spot for La to continue their winning ways and push their winning streak to five games. The Sparks have been playing some great basketball during their winning streak, scoring 90+ in three of the four contests while keeping their opponents to 81 or less in each. The Sparks have already beaten the Mercury by 23 this year and we see a similar result today as the Mercury simply doesn't match up well with the talent the Sparks have to offer. Phoenix is also coming off a tough loss to Dallas, and we just don't see them being up to the task here today. The Mercury are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 as an underdog and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 vs a team with a winning SU record. The Sparks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 overall, and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs the West. They've also covered in 10 of the last 14 head-to-head meetings. |
|||||||
08-19-20 | Mavs +6 v. Clippers | 127-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
The Clippers need to play better if they want to cover this number as they were lucky to get the cover in Game 1. We think the Mavs come into this game angry and feel like they were wronged with KP getting ejected in Game 1. They should come in with a chip on their shoulders and play a more complete game in Game 2. After LAC covered in Game 1, they haven’t adjusted the line here for Game 2, and that tells us the bookies are looking for Clippers money tonight. We will go the other way on this one! |

08-19-20 | Brewers v. Twins -1.5 | Top | 9-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take #966 Minnesota (-1.5 RL) over Milwaukee (8:10 p.m. Wednesday, August 19) Minnesota has the best home record in baseball and I think they will add to that with a win tonight. Rich Hill will be returning from the injured list to make his second start of the season and he has had success against the Brewers in the past. Hill will most likely be on a pitch count, but the Twins bullpen will be better equipped than the Brewers bullpen.These teams played 12 innings last night and the Twins used 3 relievers as compared to the 7 the Brewers needed to finish the game. Brett Anderson will be on the mound for Milwaukee and he has failed to make it through 5 innings in any of his three previous starts, all losses for the Brewers. The Twins didn't hit a home run in last nights contest and I think they will take a couple deep in this one. I like Minnesota here. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
