05-25-22 | Cubs v. Reds -135 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati 6:40 ET Reds over Cubs- The Reds starter Luis Castillo (0-2, 4.60 ERA) is well respected by the book makers as he has been highly touted despite having had only one winning season in his six year career. Part of his problem has been a lack of run support and at times his control could be better. Chicago will send Kyle Hendricks (2-4, 4.89) to the mound and he has had eight straight winning seasons all for the Cubs but this year he is struggling while giving up the long ball 10 times in less than 50 innings and last year he surrendered 31 dingers. Cubs are 28-62 I their last 91 games when underdogs. Take CINCINNATI! |

Milwaukee at San Diego 9:40 ET Brewers over Padres- San Diego's former Cy Young Award winner Blake Shell (0-1, 7.36 ERA) will be making just his second start of the season after giving up three runs in 3.1 innings against the Phillies. He a will be facing the current NL Cy Young Award holder Milwaukee's Corbin Burnes (1-2, 2.26) off his worst outing of the season surrendering four runs to Atlanta, he has 62 K's in 51.2 innings. The Padres are better this season but still beat up on the little guys as they are Padres are 8-17 in their last 25 games vs. teams with winning records. The Brewers are 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in San Diego. Take MILWAUKEE! |

05-24-22 | Warriors v. Mavs | 109-119 | Win | 100 | 20 h 56 m | Show | |
Golden State at Dallas 9:00 ET Warriors over Mavericks- To start with no team has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit to win in the NBA playoffs. Golden State has a tendency to give 'one up' when leading 3-0 and has gone 6-4 SU and with one of the losses coming against the Denver Nuggets earlier this season. The Warriors have covered just one of their last five road games and that being two days ago in Game 3 in Dallas. The Mavericks are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games at home against a team with a winning record and 38-18 ATS in their last 56 after a straight-up loss. Take DALLAS! |

05-24-22 | Orioles v. Yankees -1.5 | 6-7 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
Baltimore at New York Yankees 7:05 ET Yankees (-1.5) over Orioles- The way the Yankees are hitting home runs it would might be safe to assume that their power game is leading the way but you would be wrong. With their weak link jettisoned to Minnesota and not having to thrown to catcher Gary Sanchez the Yankees now possess the No. 1 team ERA in the MLB allowing just 3.14 RPG. New York's Jordan Montgomery (0-1, 3.35 ERA) has been the hard luck hurler with no wins in eight starts despite allowing two runs or less in six starts and just three in the two others Bomber should be focused after Monday's loss. Yanks should win let's just hope that it is by enough (-1.5). Take NEW YORK! |

05-24-22 | Cubs -101 v. Reds | 11-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati 6:20 ET Cubs over Reds- I'm lovin' this...I think? Last time out I gave you guys all the reasons to play against Chicago starter Marcus Stroman (1-4, 4.88 ERA) who always has problems winning no matter how well he might pitch that day. Well, today is that day, the Cubs will win as the MLB's worst Cincinnati will send Tyler Mahle (2-4, 5.23) to the mound. Mahle's troubles start with his control as he averages 4.6 BB per nine innings and the Reds take care of the rest. Cincy is 1-4 in the last five meetings and the terrible Cubs are 5-2 on the road. Reds are 1-5 in last six games when favored and 10-26 in their last 36 overall. Take CHICAGO! |

05-23-22 | Mets v. Giants -135 | 13-3 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
New York Mets at San Francisco 9:45 ET Giants over Mets- David Peterson (1-0, 1.89 ERA) is scheduled to make his first start for the Mets in almost three weeks when he opposes right-hander Alex Cobb (3-1, 5.61). San Francisco has lost four straight and is 2-6 since May 14, a span in which it has suffered a pair of nine-run losses. Peterson has never opposed the Giants. Cobb is 1-1 with a 4.76 ERA in three starts against the Mets. The Giants are 5-2 over the Mets in the last seven meetings at home. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Miami at Boston 8:30 ET Celtics (-) over Heat- For Boston Jayson Tatum is questionable, Marcus Smart is questionable, Robert Williams III is questionable and Al Horford will play. Miami, like the Celtics are a band of walking wounded with Jimmy Butler most likely probable. Still, this is a high price to pay to bet the Celtics and probably for good reason. Take BOSTON! |

05-22-22 | Warriors +3 v. Mavs | Top | 109-100 | Win | 100 | 19 h 27 m | Show |
Golden State at Dallas 9:00 ET Warriors over Mavericks- Teams that live and die via the 3-point field goal run hot and cold during the same game and games have dramatic lead swings. Dallas like so many other teams after grabbing a huge early lead (2nd or 3rd Q) players seem to think it gives them license to throw up long range bombs shot after shot without ever having an offensive flow or an attempt to work the ball inside. Golden State has outscored the Mavericks 106-62 in the paint and with their veteran experience I don't see that changing. They will attack Doncic and wear down this one-man team. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

05-22-22 | Mets v. Rockies +115 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 36 m | Show | |
New York Mets at Colorado 3:10 ET Rockies over Mets- Colorado's Austin Gomber (2-3, 4.38 ERA) has alternated wins, losses and no decisions between all his starts and the tarot cards tell us it is his turn to win. New York Taijuan Walker (1-0, 3.52) has only been scored upon twice in his five appearances this season but in those other two outings he gave up 10 runs in nine innings work. Mile-High bats lead MLB in team batting average and they are No. 4 in OPS. The Mets are 2-5 in their last seven against left-handed starters and are 20-43 in last 63 starts against lefties on the road while the Rockies are 10-4 at home against right handed starters. Take COLORADO! |

05-21-22 | Heat +6.5 v. Celtics | 109-103 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Miami at Boston 8:30 ET Heat (-) over Celtics- What a difference a day makes especially when playing NBA Conference Final games. I mean 'you' dominate Game One and cruse to an easy home victory and then get blown out by 25 points in Game Two. So, once again I will point out that Miami is the No. 1 seed in the East but the oddsmakers have made the Celtics (when healthy) the favorite for the series and a stronger side each time out. The Heat the No. 1 seed was a -1.5-point favorite at home and now are getting 6.5 and it looks high to many as Miami give the 'Bean-town' fits in Boston going 10-3 ATS in the last 13. Celts are 1-3-1 ATS after a SU win on the playoffs but are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games. Take MIAMI! |

05-21-22 | Dodgers v. Phillies -120 | 7-4 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
L.A. Dodgers at Philadelphia 6:05 ET Phillies over Dodgers- Philadelphia will send hard luck hurler Aaron Nola (1-4, 3.64 ERA) to the mound on Saturday. In his latest start, Sunday against the Dodgers, Nola allowed four hits and two runs in seven innings. He struck out eight and walked two in a no-decision but has been removed four times with a lead only to have the Phillies bullpen blow his chance for victory. Nola is 2-0 with a 3.09 ERA in six career starts against the Dodgers. Mitch White (1-0, 4.82 ERA) is expected to receive the start for Los Angeles. The third-year right-hander lost his lone career start against the Phillies when he gave up two runs in four innings on Aug. 12, 2021. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

05-21-22 | Diamondbacks v. Cubs -137 | 7-6 | Loss | -137 | 5 h 12 m | Show | |
Arizona at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Cubs over Diamondbacks- The Diamondbacks' scheduled Saturday starter, Madison Bumgarner (2-2, 2.29 ERA), has thrown the ball relatively well this season despite yielding a season-high three runs and six hits over five innings of a 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. The 32-year-old left-hander posted a 1.17 ERA in five April starts but owns a 4.38 ERA in three this month. He has been consistently solid against the Cubs, going 9-3 with a 2.25 ERA in 15 career starts. Chicago starter Justin Steele (1-4, 4.50 ERA) has not won since the second game of the season -- six successive starts without a winning decision but still, the left-hander is coming off the best outing of his season. On Sunday, he allowed the Diamondbacks just two runs (one earned) on three hits with a career-best 10 strikeouts. Take CHICAGO! |

Cincinnati at Toronto 3:07 ET Blue Jays (-1.5) over Reds- I love the matchup but this price is too high to lay the money so instead 'we' will lay the run-line. Toronto will start Alek Manoah (4-1, 1.71 ERA) who has allowed just 25 hits in 42 innings and last season threw 117 innings and surrendered just 70 hits. His mound opponent will be Hunter Green (1-6, 6.21) who before his last start a 7.1 inning no-hit performance which lower his ERA to 6.21. Prior to that start he had given up 23 runs in 25 innings. Lay the RUNS...take TORONTO! |

05-20-22 | Padres +112 v. Giants | 8-7 | Win | 112 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
San Diego at San Francisco 10:15 ET Padres over Giants- This series opens Friday night with left-hander Sean Manaea (2-3, 3.77 ERA in seven starts) pitching for the Padres against Giants right-hander Jakob Junis (1-1, 1.79 in four games, two starts). Both pitchers joined their respective teams this spring. Junis, 29, signed with the Giants as a free agent in March after spending his entire career with the Royals, with whom he went 29-35 with a 4.82 ERA and 1.353 WHIP in 105 games (89 starts) over five seasons. He faced the Padres once before in 2017, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk with six strikeouts in seven innings in a win. San Diego is 14-7 on the road this year and are 5-1-1 in their seven road series to date. Sean Manaea will start for the Padres and he faced the Giants earlier in the season and gave up two runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six innings in a 2-1 loss. Manaea has pitched six or more innings in six of his seven starts with six quality starts. He has a 1.116 WHIP with 50 strikeouts in 43 innings. He has been handcuffed by a lack of offense. Manaea, who spent his first six seasons pitching across the bay from the Giants, has a 2-3 career record against San Francisco with a 2.72 ERA and a 1.163 WHIP in eight starts. He has given up 18 runs (13 earned) on 38 hits and 12 walks with 32 strikeouts in 43 innings. Take SAN DIEGO! |

Dallas at Golden State 9:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- Of course everyone thinks that this series hinges on Dallas' Super-star Luca Doncic but that is not how they are going to win, if they can. Defense is what got the Mavericks here as they enter Game 2 allowing 104.7 PPG ranking No. 2 in the NBA and Game 1 was one of their worst performances. The Mavericks are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games after allowing more than a 100 points and they are 19-7 ATS after a straight-up loss. The Warriors are 8-2 in their last 10 home games but the Mavs are 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings and 6-2 ATS at Golden State! Take DALLAS! |

05-20-22 | Twins v. Royals +115 | 6-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Kansas City 8:10 ET Royals over Twins- Minnesota will hand the ball to left-hander Devin Smeltzer (0-0, 1.80 ERA) to face the Royals Daniel Lynch (2-2, 3.30). The Twins Smeltzer has faced the Royals five times in his four-year career, but only two of those came in starts. He ought to have some confidence because he's earned half his big-league wins against the Royals. He's 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA all-time against Kansas City. After allowing six runs in his first start of the season, he has allowed just five earned runs in the last 25 innings. He's had three scoreless outings in his past six starts and has allowed just three hits in 5 1/3 innings in his last start in Colorado. Take KANSAS CITY! |

Detroit at Cleveland 7:10 ET Tigers over Watch Dogs- Often time a gem goes unnoticed for one reason or another and I believe I j]have one here in Detroit's underrated lefty Tarkin Skubal (3-2, 2.50 ET) who may be on the fight risk group...only kidding he's from California so maybe just a sleeper group but regardless he seems difficult to hit with 45 strikeouts and just eight base-on-balls. His last two starts he hasn't allowed zero runs in 13 innings and just six hits. Aaron Civale (1-3, 9.85) my Connecticut compadre has been struggling and has surrendered 30 runs in just 24.2 innings. Tigers favored on the nod get the road. Take DETROIT! |

05-19-22 | Celtics v. Heat -3.5 | 127-102 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 57 m | Show | |
Boston at Miami 8:30 ET Heat (-) over Celtics- Talk about an all-round performance Jimmy Butler touched them all in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals as he scored 41 points and also contributed nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and three blocked shots. Boston took a 62-54 lead at the half and never stood a chance as the Heat fired up the burners and out scored the Celtics 39-14 as the affects of Marcus Smart and Al Horford's absence was felt. Smart will return tonight but expect more of the same. Take MIAMI! |

Arizona at Chicago Cubs 7:40 ET Diamondbacks over Cubs- Kind of hard to believe but Arizona has a better road record than the Cubs have home record. They also have Zac Gallen (2-0, 1.05 ERA) on the mound who has allowed just 18 hits and four earned runs in 34.3 innings and he has struck out 35 and walked just five. Chicago will send Marcus Stroman (1-3, 5.13) to the hill who has had one winning season in the past five and always seems to find a place tp lose surrenders 8.75 hits per nine innings and Cubs are 1-4 in his starts. Take ARIZONA! |

Seattle at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Mariners- Oh, this one shapes up as a pitching dual between Seattle's George Kirby (0-0, 0.90 ERA) (No not from Burns and Allen circa 1956) and the Red Sox will start Rich Hill (1-1, 2.89) who has surrendered just two runs in his last 20 innings. The Mariners have had problems against left-handed starters going 1-6 in their last seven starts against southpaws. They have had bigger problems in Boston where they are 3-7 in the last 10 meetings and only 19-42 in the 61 games at Fenway (how's that for a large sample). Take BOSTON! |

San Diego at Philadelphia 1:00 ET Phillies over Padres- San Diego has gathered talent but still struggles to win on the road at least in the past although they are 13-6 this season. Padres starter Yu Darvish ((3-1, 4.62 ERA) began the season with six no-hit innings and has been inconsistent since posting an ERA over 5.00. Philadelphia will send Kyle Gibson (3-1, 4.10) to the hill and he is off his worst performance of the year with the Dodgers clubbing him for eight hits and six runs in 3.2 innings. Phillies are 8-2 versus the NL West and post another win here. Take PHILLIES! |

Dallas at Golden State 9:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- Only one game separated the teams in the regular season, and it's because of the Warriors' 53-52 edge in wins. The Mavericks' were 3-1 straight-up in the season series and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games at Golden State but the Warriors earned the home-court advantage in the best-of-seven Finals. Home court could be critical this time as well, with Golden State yet to lose in six games on its home floor this postseason. Dallas is 6-2 ATS following a win and the Warriors are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take DALLAS! |

L.A. Angels at Texas 8:05 ET Rangers over Angels- Shohei Ohtani (3-2, 2.78 ERA) makes his seventh start of the season in the series finale with the host Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas. The Rangers will be going for the sweep with Dane Dunning (1-2, 4.06) on the mound. Ohtani and Dunning met earlier this season, on April 14, also in Texas. The Rangers won 10-5 that day, with Dunning not involved in the decision. He worked 3 2/3 innings, giving up two runs. Ohtani was tagged with the loss, giving up six runs in 3 2/3 innings. The Rangers are 7-2 in their last nine as home underdogs. Take TEXAS! |

San Diego at Philadelphia 6:45 ET Phillies over Padres- The Phillies will hand the ball to Zack Wheeler (1-3, 4.26 ERA). Wheeler is 2-1 with a 2.45 ERA in six career starts against the Padres. San Diego left-hander Blake Snell is expected to make his first start of the season after being sidelined with an adductor and elbow injury. Snell, who has been on the injured list since April 15, is stoked for his turn in the rotation. Snell is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in two career starts against the Phillies. San Diego is 34-70 in their last 104 games as underdogs and just 1-4 in their last five against right-handed starters and Philly is 5-2 at home in last seven starts against lefties.

Houston at Boston 6:10 ET Red Sox over Astros- Houston has turned it on early this season winning 13 of their last 15 and have making it look easy. Right-hander Luis Garcia (3-1, 2.94 ERA) has the starting assignment for the Astros on Wednesday. He worked five scoreless innings in a 5-0 road win over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, allowing five hits and two walks while recording a season-high-tying nine strikeouts. Garcia has posted 23 strikeouts and a 1.50 ERA over his past 18 innings and three starts. He faced the Red Sox once last season, his first full season in the majors, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with six strikeouts over seven innings in a 5-1 home victory on June 1. Right-hander Nick Pivetta (1-4, 5.08) will start the series finale for the Red Sox. After allowing 13 earned runs over 11 2/3 innings and three starts to open the season, Pivetta has produced a 2.45 ERA over his past four starts. Pivetta is 0-2 with a 5.25 ERA over two career starts against the Astros. No matter take BOSTON! |

Boston at Miami 8:30 ET Celtics (+) over Heat- The top-seeded Heat have prevailed in six straight conference final appearances, tied for the fourth-longest streak in NBA history. Two of those series victories came against Boston (2012, 2020). The second-seeded Celtics have dropped four straight Eastern Conference finals, including three in a four-season stretch from 2017-20. But it looks to me like the oddsmakers have made the No. 2 seed the favorite to win the series and they will start with a win here. Celtics are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 meetings in Miami! Take BOSTON! |

L.A. Angels at Texas 8:05 ET Rangers over Angels- If Johnny Vander Meer were alive today he wouldn't be too worried about left-hander Reid Detmers (2-1, 3.77 ERA) breaking his unbeatable record of consecutive complete game no-hitters. Detmers threw a no-no last time out a nine inning stint that lowered his ERA to 3.77 as he had previously surrendered 13 runs in 19 innings of work. This won't be the first time Detmers faces the Rangers this season. In his first meeting, a no-decision on April 15, he was tagged for five earned runs on six hits in 3 1/3 innings. Take TEXAS! |

Houston at Boston 7:50 ET Red Sox over Astros- Boston's Nathan Eovaldi (1-1, 3.15 ERA) has pitched well all season, allowing three runs or less in all seven starts. However, the right-hander will look for his first win since April 13 when he takes the mound on Tuesday night. Four of Eovaldi's five starts since then have been no-decisions, including his outing at Atlanta on Wednesday during which he struck out six Braves over 6 1/3 innings of three-run ball. Eovaldi is 1-2 with a 3.93 ERA and 33 strikeouts in 36 2/3 innings over six career regular-season starts against the Astros. He is 2-2 with a 5.09 ERA in five career postseason outings (three starts) vs. Houston. Jose Urquidy (2-1, 4.40 ERA) will start for Houston after consecutive no-decisions against the Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers. He allowed just one run overall in nine innings during those outings. The Astros are 1-6 in their last 7 games as an underdogs. The Red Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter.

San Diego at Philadelphia 6:45 ET Phillies over Padres- By Monday afternoon, the Phillies had not announced a starting pitcher for Tuesday, though it's likely that right-hander Zach Eflin will head to the mound. Eflin (1-2, 4.50 ERA) is eligible to come off the COVID list. He is 1-1 with a 4.02 ERA in three career starts against the Padres. When Eflin last pitched May 1 against the Mets, he was roughed up for six runs (five earned) in 4 1/3 innings. The Padres are scheduled to send right-hander Mike Clevinger (0-0, 5.00 ERA) to the mound. He has never faced the Phillies and they are 8-22 in their last 30 games as a road underdog.

Houston at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Astros- We are a long way from last year's A.L. Championship Series when these two last met as the Red Sox are currently in the A.L. East basement. First place Houston has won 12 of 13 and will start Jake Odorizzi (3-2, 3.38 ERA) who looks to continue a dominant run during the series-opening start in Boston. The righty has won his last three starts, allowing just one run on six combined hits over 17 2/3 innings in that stretch. Odorizzi pitched at Fenway last June, earning the victory in his 20th career start against Boston. He is 5-7 with a 4.87 ERA all-time against the Sox, who have beaten him in three of his five most recent starts dating back to 2017. The Red Sox are set to give Garrett Whitlock (1-1, 2.19 ERA) another turn in the rotation. He has allowed three runs or fewer over each of his first four career starts. Whitlock has allowed one earned run in just 2 2/3 career innings (two appearances) against Houston. Take BOSTON! |

Milwaukee at Boston 3:30 ET Celtics (-) over Bucks- When these two clubs met in a Game 7 in the first round in 2018, the Celtics prevailed easily 112-96, with Antetokounmpo (22) and Tatum (20) playing on basically even terms. Horford played the role of the difference-maker in that one, hitting 13 of 17 shots on a 26-point night. On Friday Horford had two pints after a career high 30 the previous game. Defense and pressure are keys to Boston's No. 1 ranked defense as the Bucks have shot 32.3 percent on 3-pointers in their wins, but just 25.7 percent in their losses. Jrue Holiday has defined the disparity, going 10 of 22 from deep in the wins, 5 of 22 in the losses. Celtics are 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings including 6-2 ATS at home. Take BOSTON! |

New York Yankees at Chicago White Sox 2:10 ET White Sox over Yankees- After taking Chicago in the first game of this series and getting burned by the Yankees home run power I hope that I am not too early and too late with them here. Left-hander Nestor Cortes (1-1, 1.41 ERA) will get the call for the Yankees. Cortes is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in two career appearances against the White Sox, including one start, with 14 strikeouts in 11 innings. He took a no-decision Monday in a home start against the Texas Rangers, pitching 7 1/3 innings of one-hit ball with four walks and 11 strikeouts.

Cincinnati will start Luis Castillo (0-0, 5.79 ERA) who always seems to be a favorite of the 'bookies' and yet has had only one winning season in six big league years, but he has a career ERA of 3.73 on of the best over that span.

Morton bounced back in his last start on Sunday against Milwaukee. The veteran had endured four consecutive subpar performances, losing three, but he looked good while throwing five shutout innings to beat the Brewers. Morton lost to the Padres on April 14, allowing five runs in five innings during an 11-1 defeat. He has made 10 career starts against San Diego, going 6-2 with a 2.66 ERA.

Although the Grizzlies were the higher seed the oddsmakers treated Golden State as if they were the favorites. Curry, Thompson and Green will take care of business tonight.

Chicago Cubs at Arizona 9:40 ET Cubs over Diamondbacks- How long can it last? What I am trying to say is that Arizona at 17-15 after the first month had the worst record in baseball (along with the Orioles) and lost 110 games last season and are 11-4 over their last 15 outings. The Cubs just took 2-of-3 at San Diego while having lost six straight prior to that series. Left-hander Drew Smyly (1-3, 3.04 ERA), who the Diamondbacks roughed up last year in his only career start against Arizona, will get the start for the Cubs. The Diamondbacks will counter with veteran right-hander Zach Davies (1-1, 3.34). Davies will be making his 20th career start against the Cubs, carrying a 7-7 record and 3.61 ERA.

For Toronto today, it will be veteran right-hander Kevin Gausman (3-1, 2.13 ERA). The Rays will turn to right-hander Drew Rasmussen (3-1, 2.89). Rasmussen has allowed just two earned runs while winning his last three starts. The Blue Jays have won Gausman's last four starts, as he has picked up three of the wins with one no-decision. In 17 career games against Tampa Bay, including 15 starts, Gausman is 7-6 with a 4.00 ERA. Rasmussen is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in three appearances (two starts) against the Blue Jays. Take TAMPA BAY! |

Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (0-2, 4.50 ERA) will make his seventh start of the season for Detroit. He's still seeking his first victory despite delivering his best outing of the season last week at Houston, when he gave up just one hit -- a solo home run to Jose Altuve -- and struck out eight in 6 2/3 innings on Saturday. Rodriguez is quite familiar with Baltimore as a member of Boston's rotation for six seasons. He's faced the Orioles 22 times, beating them 12 times -- more than any other club he has faced. He has a 12-5 record and 3.11 ERA against Baltimore. He'll be opposed by Jordan Lyles (2-2, 4.05 ERA), who will also be making his seventh start.

The 'lines' just seem so inviting to tale Milwaukee, after all they do have the best player on the floor. The Celtics are a bit long in the tooth at center with Al Horford but, has found new life and had a career postseason high 30 points in their Game 4 win. It us said that defense travels well and Boston who is #1 on defense points allowing 104.5 PPG as well as being number 1 in FG and 3-Pt FG's % allowed.

The Diamondbacks have won each of their first four meetings against Miami this season by one run, including a 4-3 victory on Monday. Bumgarner, 32, owns a 3-4 record and 3.86 ERA in 13 career starts against Miami.

Memphis has had an incredible season and have played a number of games without Morant and at one time were 21-2 without him. Memphis will have the return of Dillon Brooks to play after a one game suspension for 'breaking the code' and his presence will help pick-up the lack without Morant.

Oakland not be be out done has dropped nine straight as they just don't hit. The A's have only two of 12 position players hitting above .225 and after continuous season of quality players leaving the franchise it has taken its toll.

After winning by 20-points on Friday night holding Miami to their season low 79 points and are now favored by less than a field goal long or short. Even with Embiid less than 100% he has an impact and so does James Harden but, that is a their current Achilles heel. Harden just doesn't seem to be able to cut it anymore and doesn't look anything like the league's former top scorer although he was never a great post season player. Take MIAMI! |

He threw to a 2.64 ERA last season surrendering just 107 hits in 133 innings and I expect a 'bounce-back' performance here.

Miami at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Heat/76ers- UNDER- With or without Joel Embiid the Sixers know that in order to turn things around it starts on defense. Miami still one of the tougher defensive team and are 6-1 Under in their last seven games overall and Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Play UNDER! |

05-05-22 | Mets v. Phillies -145 | Top | 8-7 | Loss | -145 | 15 h 24 m | Show |
New York Mets at Philadelphia 6:45 ET Phillies over Mets- I tried this last Friday (betting Philly and Nola against the Mets) and Aaron Nola (1-3, 3.90 ERA) struck out nine but New York used five different pitchers and no-hit Philadelphia. The Mets are 3-3 since and will start Taijuan Walker (0-0.0.00) who has allow just two hits in seven inning work. I expect the Mets to control the East but this is a spot the Phillies look to atone for their hitless performance last Friday. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Mavericks ()+) over Suns- Having used Phoenix as a Megabucks winner in Game 1 of this series I have no problem backing the Dallas here as I've been weary of them since they sent Porzingis packing. The Mavericks started the Utah series with Luca Doncic nursing an injury and have shown the defense travels well as they are ranked No. 2 allowing only 104.7. Without Porzingis whose heart was questioned their defense has risen to where they can win anytime with Luca carrying the offensive load. Although the Suns have dominated this series the Mavs are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 as road underdogs. Take DALLAS! |

Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Mavs/Suns -UNDER- I know, with starts like Doncic, Paul, Booker and Jalen Brunson it's easy to imagine this game going over the total. After all Phoenix does average 114.8 ranking 6th and they are the No. 1 FG shooting team at 48.5%. And although the Suns are an 'Over' team they are 6-2 Under in their last eight playoff games and Dallas is 44-21 UNDER after loss. Play UNDER! |

Philadelphia at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (+) over 76ers- It really is a shame that Embiid is down because the battle between him and Jimmy Butler could have been classic. I just don't like this Philadelphia team without Joel and especially of we have to rely on James Harden who never played well in the playoffs where he was good and he hasn't been all that of late. I'm wondering if the 76ers are resigned going back to Philadelphia down 0-2 with Embiid coming out of the shadows. Remember the Bucks were down 0-2 in every series last year and won them all. The thing about the Heat is their coaching and consistency and the are not highly regarded by the media despite being a No. 1 seed. Take MIAMI! |

New York Yankees at Toronto 7:05 ET Yankees over Blue Jays- One of the most profitable way of betting baseball is to play streaks both winning and losing on and against. Right now I don't think it matter who the Yankees are playing the believe that they will win and they have 11 straight times. I'm sure there will be plenty of Toronto action not believing the could be swept at home. New York will start Nestor Cortes (1-0, 1.31 ERA) who is the Bronx Bombers modern version of Whitey Ford as he has 28 K's and just three base-on-balls in 21 innings. Take NEW YORK YANKEES! |

05-03-22 | Giants +125 v. Dodgers | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
San Francisco at Los Angeles 10:10ET Giants over Dodgers- Do you remember that the Giants won 107 games last season and the Dodgers 106 and both team are actually better (on paper) this season and one of the bigger acquisitions was made by San Francisco. Coming over from the White Sox where he was 13-5 with a 2.37 ERA last season Carlos Rodon is 3-0 with a 1.17 ERA in four starts and has 38 K's in just 23 innings. Julio Urias, who will take the mound for the Dodgers allowed one run over six innings at Arizona on Wednesday. Urias (1-1, 2.50) has faced the Giants 20 times (14 starts) and is 2-3 with a 2.61 ERA. In what started as baseball's most intense rivalry in New York over 100 years ago still carries a fierce attitude when against each other. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Golden State at Memphis 9:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- I must admit that there is some spectacular play going on with Embiid and Giannis but my favorites are going head-to-head in this Game 2 between Stephen Curry and everybody's newest favorite Ja Morant. Golden State was able to pull out the Game 1 victory with key player Draymond Green ejected before the half. Like I said about the opening game of this series it seems strange that the No. 2 seed Memphis is an underdog at home. Warriors are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 playoff games as road favorites and the Grizzlies are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as home underdogs. Take MEMPHIS! |

St. Louis at Kansas City 8:10 ET Royals over Cardinals- Man are the Royals in a funk or what...or do they really stink. Think of this they have lost four in-a-row and lost 9-of-11 including three by shutout and have scored just six runs in their last four game and are dead last in MLB batting at .213 and runs scored with just 63. But, if there is one thing the can wake up their bats is being confronted with their 'Show Me' series rivals from St, Louis. It's not quite the same for the Cardinals as their sights have always been first and foremost on the Chicago Cubs. With tough luck brad Keller (0-2, 2.17 ERA) on the hill, thy have a shot. Take KANSAS CITY! |

N.Y. Yankees at Toronto 7:05 ET Yankees over Blue Jays- Toronto was everybody's favorite to win the AL East and after a poor finish and some key personal changes the Yankees believe that they can take it all. I know they still have issues but they are playing better than expected right now and baseball is such a game of streaks in the longest of all seasons. Without having Sanchez to throw at the pitching staffs ERA is 2.25 runs per game better with a team ERA of 2.90. New York's weak spot Jameson Taillon (1-1, 3.07 ERA) has been excellent and he need be as the Blue Jays Alek Manoah (4-0, 1.44) will take the hill. TAKE NEW YORK YANKEES! |

Milwaukee at Boston 7:00 ET The Bucks played Game 1 in this series they way they closed out their Championship last year as they were just too physical for the Celtics. Even with Khris Middleton out the Milwaukees big bodies just were causing problems for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown who struggled for open looks. Giannis is unstoppable and Boston's Marcus Smart sustained an injury in Game 1 has his effectiveness should be questioned. The Celtics look like they don't have a chance so I have to have them. PLAY BOSTON! |

Milwaukee at Boston 7:00 ET Bucks/Celtics- UNDER- The high scoring Milwaukee Bucks ranked No. 3 averaging 115.5 PPG have gone UNDER the total in six straight games and the margins below the 'number' were incredible. Their last six games have gone 'under' the 'number' by 28.5, 9.5, 5, 30, 0.5 and 51. That's right 51-points under the total against the Bulls with the 'total' at 230 the Bucks won 93-86 in Game 2 non-cover victory. Boston is ranked No.1 on defense allowing only 104.5 PPG.

The Mavericks ousted the Utah Jazz, and the Suns survived the eighth-seeded New Orleans Pelicans, both winning in six games. But Dallas was without Luca Doncic and Phoenix was missing Devin Booker for three of the six contests. The Suns swept the season series 3-0 from the Mavericks, with two wins coming by eight points and the third by seven. Two of the games were in Phoenix, a November back-to-back that Doncic missed with a sprained left knee and ankle.The Suns are 21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings including 7-3 ATS as hosts.

Atlanta at New York Mets 7:10 ET Braves over Mets- There appears to be a 'new order' in the NL East as the Mets have taken the lead and look like the team to beat. The new-look Braves -- with Matt Olson manning first base instead of stalwart Freddie Freeman, who hit .293 with nine homers and 50 RBIs in 99 games at Citi Field -- will meet the Mets fresh off an opening month in which New York showed it is a much different team than a year ago.Left-hander Max Fried (2-2, 3.00 ERA) is scheduled to start for Atlanta against New York right-hander Chris Bassitt (3-1, 2.25 ERA). Both Fried and Bassitt earned the wins in their most recent starts on Tuesday, when Fried allowed one run over six innings as the Braves beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 and Bassitt tossed six scoreless innings in the Mets' 3-0 victory over the Cardinals. Fried is 4-3 with a 2.78 ERA in 16 career games (11 starts) against the Mets. Bassitt has never faced the Braves. Take ATLANTA! |

Golden State the No. 3 seed took out Denver in five games and are at their strongest point physically with a healthy Draymond Green and Klay Thompson getting up to speed averaging 22.6 points in the playoffs.

Atlanta will start Bryce Elder (1-2, 4.30 ERA) who has surrendered 11 walks in his last two starts and will be opposed by Dane Dunning (0-1, 4.91) who has 15 strikeouts in his last 10 innings of work.

Tylor Megill (3-0, 2.35 ERA) has allowed just 13 hits in 16.1 innings while striking out 15 and walking only two.

The way Dallas has played for most of this series will require a very large bounce-back by Utah. Meanwhile, the Jazz have been about 'givin' up for dead' after the way Dallas has run through them in this series leading 3-1 and 4-0 ATS. Utah's most explosive scorer, Donovan Mitchell, declared himself ready to play Thursday night amid a leg injury.

The Suns moved to the brink of advancing with a 112-97 home victory in Game 5 on Thursday night. Mikal Bridges scored a career playoff-high 31 points, played 47 minutes and helped hold Pelicans leading scorer CJ McCollum to 7-of-22 shooting and their leading scorer Devin Booker has not played since coming away with a hamstring strain in the third quarter of Game 2 and they have lost twice in the series to the eighth-seeded New Orleans Pelicans.

Undermanned Chicago will be without All-Star Zach LaVine who entered the NBA safety protocol on Tuesday and Alex Caruso is in the league's concussion protocol after getting whacked in the face on Saturday.

The Rangers signed Corey Seager to play the keystone position in Arlington while Houston has suffered the unfortunate loss of Carlos Correa in Free Agency to Minnesota. The changes have hurt the Astros who are 7-8 while Texas hasn't been able to take advantage of their new infield combination (Semien) and are just 5-10 on the season.

In all four previous games Utah has been the favorite including the first two in Dallas when Doncic was out. Upon his return in Game 4 at Utah the Mavs held a 4-point lead with 30 seconds remaining only to be bested by a lay-in at the buzzer. The 'price' seems short with Luca's return and maybe it's because Dallas is 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven playoff games. Take UTAH! |
