07-16-23 | Guardians v. Rangers -120 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show |
Mike's MLB *TOP PLAY* of the Day Martin Perez allowed six runs over only 1 1/3 innings of a 12-11 loss to Houston in his last start but since the start of the 2022 season. Perez's team is 10-5 if he gave up five runs or more in his last start. The Rangers are a solid 29-18 at home this season and they are going for the sweep of this three-game series after outscoring Cleveland 14-4 through the first two games. 4% top play on Texas Rangers. |

Reid Detmers is 1-2 with a 4.62 ERA in five career starts against Houston. The Astros are 6-1 in the last seven head-to-head meetings. Houston is the better team and owns L.A.

Mike's Top-rated 10* TENNIS Game of the Month Rublev is in excellent form on grass, with only one loss so far this year. Sure, Djokovic has a 3-1 head-to-head record against Rublev, but Rublev is a tough opponent who can keep the match close. Djokovic wasn't dominant against Hurkacz in his previous match, the game margin was only +2 games. 10* PLAY ON ANDREY RUBLEV +7 games. |

Mike's 10* MLB Total Top Play of the Day The over/under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings and I expect to see big fireworks here following a 2-1 Atlanta win Friday night. Rays rookie right-hander Taj Bradley has an ERA of 8.78 over his last three starts and the over is 8-3 in Braves last 11 road games vs. a right-handed starter. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline Top Play of the Day The Phillies are coming off a 3-0 sweep at Tampa Bay and I think they'll keep rolling here in the opener of a three-game set at Miami. The Phillies have won each of Zack Wheeler's last five starts and Wheeler is 10-4 with a 2.37 ERA in 20 starts against Miami. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES. |

Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline Top Play of the Day The Cardinals are only 18-26 on the road while Miami is 28-16 at home. Cardinals have lost six of their past eight games and right-hander Jack Flaherty has posted an ERA of 6.48 over his last three starts. Miami rookie right-hander Eury Perez (5-2, 2.47 ERA) has had a great start in the big leagues, despite giving up six runs on seven hits in a 7-0 loss to Atlanta last time out. Miami has outscored the Cards 30-15 through the first three games of the series, and I think they'll complete the sweep with a win tonight. 10* PLAY ON MIAMI MARLINS. |

Mike's 10* MLB Runline Top Play of the Day The Braves are hot, and this is a team you wanna back when they're on a run. Cleveland rookie right-hander Gavin Williams has made only two starts in his big leagues career while Atlanta right Bryce Elder is on his second season, and he's a rock solid 6-1 behind a 2.44 ERA. Guardians are 3-11 in their last 14 interleague home games vs. a team with a winning record. Braves are 10-3 in their last 13 interleague road games vs. a team with a losing record. 10* PLAY ON ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5. |

Braves right-hander Spencer Strider is 3-0 with a 3.50 ERA in his last three starts. Strider is 6-2 with a 3.45 ERA in his day starts this year. Strider held the Marlins to two hits over eight scoreless innings when he faced them back in April.

Mike's 10* MLB Total Game of the Week Miami right-hander Eury Perez has impressed through his first nine starts in the big leagues, and he has allowed only one run over his last six starts, but here he'll face a red hot Atlanta team that put up 16 runs Friday night. Over their last 10 games, the Braves have averaged 7.60 runs per game. Miami's bats are not quite as hot, but they should be able to score runs off Charlie Morton who has allowed eight runs (six earned) over his last two starts. Over is 20-8-2 in Braves last 30 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

06-29-23 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Rockies | Top | 14-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 28 m | Show |
Mike's Late 10* MLB Runline Top Play of the Day Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan has only two career starts under his belt, but both were solid. Sheehan has allowed a total of only two runs on three hits with seven strikeouts over 12 innings of work. Rockies righty Chase Anderson has been slapped around in each of his last two starts, with a total of 16 runs allowed on 17 hits over just 5 2/3 frames! Anderson has a 2-4 record with an ERA of 4.68 in 12 starts against the Dodgers in his career. The Dodgers are 3-1 SU and against the runline against Colorado this season. This looks like a great spot to back the Dodgers after taking a 9-8 loss to Colorado Tuesday night. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5. |
|||||||
06-28-23 | Yankees v. A's UNDER 8 | Top | 11-0 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 48 m | Show |
Mike's *LATE* MLB Total Top Play of the Day The Bronx Bombers have not lived up to their name lately with an average of only 2.60 runs per game scored over their last 10 games. Thats still marginally better than Oakland's 2.50 runs per game over its last 10 games. Yankees right-hander Domingo German was slapped around by Seattle in his last start, but this looks like a good spot to bounce back with a solid outing. Under is 20-8-2 in Athletics last 30 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Under is 9-3-1 in Yankees last 13 road games vs. a left-handed starter. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

06-28-23 | Astros +103 v. Cardinals | Top | 10-7 | Win | 103 | 13 h 58 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline Game of the Week I absolutely love the price we get on Houston here with Cristian Javier on the mound. OK, Javier has not been at his very best in his most recent starts, but he's still a solid 7-1 with a 3.25 ERA on the season. The Astros are 11-4 in his 15 starts (3-0 as underdogs with Javier as the starter). Cardinals righty Miles Mikolas is 0-3 with a 6.16 ERA in his last three starts. 10* PLAY ON HOUSTON ASTROS. |
|||||||
06-27-23 | Marlins v. Red Sox -113 | Top | 10-1 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 29 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline Top Play of the Day The Red Sox are 1-4 in their last five games but I like the price we get on them here in the opener of a three-game series against the Marlins. Marlins righty Sandy Alcantara is the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, but he is 2-6 with a 5.08 ERA this year. The Marlins are 6-9 in his 15 starts this year, and as they're a low-scoring team (4.04 R/9, 26th), they really need their pitchers to perform. Boston right-hander Garrett Whitlock is 2-0 with a 3.38 ERA at home and he is 2-0 with a 3.10 ERA in his last three starts. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON RED SOX. |
|||||||
06-25-23 | Astros v. Dodgers -130 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -130 | 17 h 8 m | Show |
Mike's Top-rated 10* MLB *BEST BET* I like the price we get on the Dodgers to complete the sweep of this three-game series. Dodgers righty Tony Gonsolin gave up all seven runs in a 7-3 loss to the Giants in his last start. That was a rare misstep from Gonsolin, and note that it was an afternoon start. Gonsolin is 3-1 with a 2.16 ERA in his night starts this season. Houston right-hander Hunter Brown gave up six runs in 5 2/3 innings of an 11-1 loss to the Mets in his last start. Unlike Gonsolin, Brown has pitched better in day games than under the light where he has a 4.33 ERA this season. Astros are 1-7 in their last 8 road games. Astros are 2-7 in their last 9 overall. Astros are 3-8 in the last 11 meetings. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |
|||||||
06-24-23 | Mariners v. Orioles -104 | Top | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Top Play of the Day Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer has an ERA of 2.81 in three starts against the Mariners in his career. The Orioles are 10-5 in his 15 starts this season, 5-2 in his seven home starts. Mariners rookie righty Bryce Miller has also been sharper at home than on the road where he is 1-2 with a 4.57 ERA. I expect a big outing from the Orioles here as they look to bounce back from a 13-1 loss to Seattle Friday night. 10* PLAY ON BALTIMORE ORIOLES. |
|||||||
06-23-23 | Royals v. Rays -1.5 | Top | 3-11 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Runline Play of the Day This looks like a great spot to back Tampa Bay to bounce back from a disappointing 6-5 loss to the Royals yesterday. They are 30-9 SU and 22-17 against the runline as home favorites. KC right-hander Zack Greinke is 1-7 with a 4.81 ERA for the season and 0-2 with a 7.53 ERA this month. Rays righty Zach Eflin (8-3, 3.26 ERA) has lost his last two starts, but both on the road. Eflin is 7-0 behind a 1.85 ERA in his home starts in 2023. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5. |

06-22-23 | Mariners v. Yankees -110 | Top | 10-2 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 18 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline Game of the Week *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Yankees are going for the sweep of this three-game series and I like the price we get on the Pinstripes with Domingo German on the mound. German gave up seven runs at Boston in his last outing, but he has posted a solid ERA of 2.92 home in the Bronx this year. German is reliable and battle-tested and he is 3-0 with an ERA of 3.44 in 3 starts versus the Mariners in his career. Mariners rookie righty Bryan Woo is 0-1 with a 7.30 ERA through his first three starts in the big leagues. 10* PLAY ON NEW YORK YANKEES. |

06-21-23 | Orioles v. Rays -138 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
Mike's Super Early 10* MLB Play of the Day This looks like a great spot to back the Rays to bounce back from three consecutive losses, the most recent an 8-6 setback to the Orioles Tuesday night. Rays rookie right-hander Taj Bradley has been a lot sharper on the road than at home, but I think it's only a matter of time before he finds his feet at home as well. Baltimore righty Tyler Wells is 2-0 on the road, but with a not very impressive ERA of 4.26. The Rays have won 39 of the last 51 meetings with the Orioles at Tropicana Field. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |
|||||||
06-20-23 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Angels | Top | 2-0 | Win | 120 | 22 h 18 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Runline Game of the Week The Dodgers will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing end to last week which saw them getting swept by the Giants in a three-game series. Angels left-hander Reid Detmers is coming off a couple of impressive outings, but he's still 1-5, 4.48 ERA for the season. Detmers is 0-2 with a 9.35 ERA in two career starts against the Dodgers. As for Dodgers southpaw Clayton Kershaw, he is 8-4 with a 2.95 ERA for the season and 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA over his last three starts. Kershaw is 9-2 with a 2.13 ERA in 15 career starts vs. the Angels. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5. |

06-19-23 | Red Sox v. Twins OVER 7.5 | Top | 9-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Total Play of the Day The Red Sox have averaged 7.40 runs per game over their last five games and they'll face Minnesota right-hander Pablo Lopez who has posted an ERA of 5.88 home at Target Field this season. Minnesota left-hander James Paxton has an ERA of 4.50 on the road this year. Over is 6-1 in Twins last 7 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5. Over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

06-18-23 | Giants v. Dodgers -125 | Top | 7-3 | Loss | -125 | 15 h 27 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Play of the Day This looks like a fantastic spot to back the Dodgers to bounce back from a humiliating 15-0 loss to the Giants. For the season, the Dodgers are 21-9 off a loss and 13-2 off a loss of four runs or more. Giants right-hander Logan Webb has a record of 2-5 with an ERA of 4.13 in 11 starts versus the Dodgers in his career. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |

Under is 13-3 in Royals last 16 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. Under is 14-6 in Royals last 20 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
06-17-23 | Rays -107 v. Padres | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -107 | 12 h 29 m | Show |
10* MLB Moneyline Game of the Week The Rays won the opener of this series 6-2, and I like them to win here again in Game 2. The Rays are averaging 7.23 R/9 against left-handers and they are 22-6 in their last 28 games vs. a left-handed starter. This is a price on the best team in baseball. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |
|||||||
06-16-23 | Guardians v. Diamondbacks UNDER 8 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 16 h 28 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Total Top Play of the Day The Guardians are 40-25-3 to the under for the season and Triston McKenzie is due for a great outing after giving up seven runs to Houston in his last start. McKenzie posted an ERA of 2.96 over 30 starts last year, so he's definitely a lot better than his last outing. Arizona hands the ball to Zac Gallen who has posted an ERA of 0.96 over 47 innings at home this season. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
06-15-23 | Blue Jays v. Orioles -123 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
Mike's Super Early 10* MLB Top Play of the Day This looks like a good spot to back the Orioles to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Toronto. Blue Jays left-hander Yusei Kikuchi is 3-1 on the road despite a not-so-pretty 5.00 ERA. He's been getting a lot of run support, but that's unlikely to happen here as Orioles starter Tyler Wells has pitched very well lately, coming into this game 2-1 with a 2.50 ERA over his last three starts. Wells is 3-2 with a 2.49 ERA at home this season. Baltimore is 8-3 in his 11 starts this season. 10* PLAY ON BALTIMORE ORIOLES. |

06-14-23 | Angels v. Rangers OVER 9.5 | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 15 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Total Top Play of the Day The Rangers are averaging an MLB-best 6.33 runs R/9 on the season, and that number goes up to 7.08 R/9 against left-handers. Angels southpaw Reid Detmers has an ERA of 5.40 in 6 starts against the Rangers in his career. The Angels' bats are hot, having scored 9, 9 and 7 runs over their last three games and Texas left-hander Andrew Heaney has posted an ERA of 5.67 over 33 1/3 innings at home this season. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

06-13-23 | Blue Jays -127 v. Orioles | Top | 6-11 | Loss | -127 | 14 h 16 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline Play of the Day Chris Bassitt is 3-0 with an ERA of 2.36 and 27 strikeouts in 4 starts versus the Orioles in his career. Dean Kremer has a record of 1-2 with an ERA of 5.50 in 7 starts versus the Blue Jays in his career. Revenge game for the Jays after getting swept through a three-game series when they hosted Baltimore back in May. Bassitt did not pitch in that series and I think his dominance of the Orioles continue here. 10* PLAY ON TORONTO BLUE JAYS. |

06-12-23 | Phillies v. Diamondbacks -106 | Top | 8-9 | Win | 100 | 16 h 4 m | Show |
Mike's 10* MLB Top Play of the Day The Diamondbacks rallied late to beat the Tigers 7-5 on Sunday. They are now riding a five-game winning streak and I like the price we get on them as a home favorite against Philadelphia Monday night. The Phillies are averaging only 3.35 runs per nine innings against left-handers and Arizona southpaw Tommy Henry has posted an ERA of 2.49 over 25 1/3 innings at home on the season. Phillies are 4-10 in their last 14 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The Phillies are only 13-22 on the road overall this year and tonight's starter Matt Strahm is expected to pitch only one or two innings, as he's done most season. The Phillies bullpen has posted an ERA of 4.09 over the season, which ranks 19th in the major leagues. Diamondbacks are 7-0 in their last 7 Monday games. Diamondbacks are 7-0 in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing record. Diamondbacks are 6-2 in their last 8 home games vs. a left-handed starter. Phillies are 1-7 in the last 8 meetings in Arizona. 10* PLAY ON ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS. |

Mike's 10* NBA Finals GAME OF THE YEAR So at first glance, this looks like a lot of points, but keep in mind that in the Nuggets' wins in this series, they covered the spread comfortably each time. They just won the two games in Miami by 15 and 13 points respectively, and now have the Heat on the ropes. Miami has overachieved throughout the playoffs, but is now finally getting exposed by a much better and laser-focused Denver team. I expect the Nuggets to take this one by double-digits. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

Perez is 2-1 with an ERA of 5.06 in four starts versus the Rays since 2021. Rays are 21-6 in their last 27 games vs. a left-handed starter. Tampa Bay left-hander Shane McClanahan is 4-0 with an ERA of 1.22 at home. The Rays are 19-2 SU and 14-7 against the runline as home favorites of -170 or more. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5. |

10* NHL FINALS GAME OF THE YEAR Florida will be looking to tie the series following a 3-2 OT win against Vegas a couple of nights ago. It felt like Vegas was in control for most of the game though. The Knights have a clear edge in this matchup IMO and off a loss, this looks like a perfect spot bet. 10* PLAY ON VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS. |

Boston right-hander Tenner Houcke is 0-2 with an ERA of 5.40 in his last three starts. Houcke allowed three runs on six hits in 3 1/3 innings in one start against the Yankees last year. Yankees righty Domingo German is 1-0 with a 2.81 ERA in his last three starts. German posted an ERA of 3.27 over 11 innings in two starts against the Red Sox last year.

10* Nuggets/Heat NBA TOP PLAY of the Day After losing Game 2 at home, the Nuggets took command of the series again with an impressive 109-94 win here in Miami in Game 3. If the Nuggets stay focused, I don't see them letting Miami back in the series again. Heat are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Heat are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home. Nuggets are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Miami. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

10* MLB TOTAL OF THE MONTH The Reds got shut out in a 6-0 loss to the Dodgers yesterday. Here they'll face Cards left-hander Jordan Montgomery who has allowed only three earned run over 10 2/3 innings in his last two starts. As for the Cardinals bats, they've been cold for a while. They've averaged only 2.40 runs per game through their last 10 games and Reds righty Ben Lively has posted a solid ERA of 3.03 through his first six outings (four starts) of the season. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

The Nuggets dominated Game 1 of the series, but seemed to take the food of the gas in the following game, allowing Miami to come from behind and record an upset win. The Nuggets will not make the same mistake again. The Heat are a feisty bunch, but I expect a laser-focused Denver team to dominate this game from start to finish. Nuggets are 26-10 ATS in the last 36 meetings. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Miami. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

10* Runline Game of The Month - Mike's MLB *MAJOR WAGER* Dodgers righty Tony Gonsolin (3-1, 1.77 ERA) is having another solid season, and he has an ERA of 1.35 over 20 innings of work on hte road. Gonsolin made two starts against the Reds last year, when he held them to two runs on six hits over a total of nine innings. Reds righty Luke Weaver is 1-2 with an ERA of 5.36 for the season. Weaver has a 0-3 record with an ERA of 7.06 in five starts versus the Dodgers in his career. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5. |

Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline *TOP PLAY* of the Day The Rangers have won eight of their last 10 overall. They are 18-8 on their home games this season and 15-5 as home favorites. Left-hander Martin Perez (6-1, 4.43 ERA) was lit up at Detroit in his last start, but note that Perez is perfect 3-0 with an ERA of 1.93 in three home starts this season. The Cardinals have won only one of their last six games and three of their last 10. Cards righty Adam Wainwright (2-1, 6.15 ERA) has made five starts this year, and did not look particularly sharp in any of them. 10* PLAY ON TEXAS RANGERS. |

Mike's 10* Heat/Nuggets NBA Total *TOP PLAY* I expect a better offensive performance from Miami after putting up only 93 points on 41% shooting in Game 1 of the NBA finals. They had only one day rest following their Game 7 win against Boston, but have now had two days to rest and prepare. Expect fresh legs from both sides, leading to high-tempo basketball and effective offenses. Over is 4-1 in Heat last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. Over is 8-3 in Heat last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Over is 6-1 in Nuggets last 7 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline *BEST BET* The Braves are 18-10 on the road but here they'll face an Arizona team that is 20-12 at home (13-4 as home favorites). Arizona right-hander Zach Gallen (7-2, 2.72 ERA) is 6-0 with a minuscule ERA of 0.66 over 41 innings home at Chase Field and Gallen is 2-0 with an ERA of 1.42 and 12 strikeouts in two starts versus the Braves in his career. Braves righty Michael Soroka allowed four runs on five hits and two walks over six innings if a 7-2 loss at Oakland last week, in his first start since Aug. 3, 2020. Soroka has been dealing with injuries to his Achilles tendon and might need a couple of games to get back to his best. 10* PLAY ON ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS. |

Mike's 10* TGIF MLB Total *BEST BET* The Cardinals have not scored more than three runs in any of their last seven games, but here they'll face right-hander Roansy Contreras who has posted an ERA of 5.54 home at PNC Park this season. Contreras has a 4.43 ERA in five career outings (four starts) against the Cardinals. Both teams had Thursday off, and I expect to see fresh lineups and hot bats. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

Miami left-hander Jesus Luzardo (4-3, 3.67 ERA) is 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA in two starts against the Friars. 10* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO PADRES. |

MIKE'S **EARLY** MLB MONEYLINE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to back the Rays who will be looking to bounce back after opening the week with two losses to the Cubs. They scored only one run across those two games, but here they'll face Cubs left-hander Justin Steele who has posted an ERA of 5.74 over his last three starts. Steele gave up four runs over 2 2/3 innings when he faced the Rays last year. Tampa Bay starter Zach Eflin (7-1, 3.17 ERA) is 2-1 with a 2.27 ERA in five starts against the Cubs. Eflin is perfect 6-0 with an ERA of 2.43 in six day starts this season. The Cubs are 10-16 in day games in 2023. The Rays have cooled off since their red-hot start to the season, but at this price, I'm still more than happy to back one of the best teams in baseball. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |

MIKE'S 10* MLB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Angels opened the series with a 6-4 win, and I think their bats will stay hot here against Lucas Gioloto (3-4, 3.98 ERA) who allowed four runs on seven hits over just 3 2/3 innings in his last start. Since the start of the 2021 season, Giolito is 0-1 with an ERA of 4.22 in four starts versus the Angels. The Angels counter with left-hander Tyler Anderson (2-0, 4.81 ERA) who has an ERA of 6.52 in two starts versus the White Sox in his career.

MIKE'S 10* HEAT/CELTICS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Celtics forced Game 7 here in Boston with a tip-in just before time expired on Saturday. One can only imagine how shocked and deflated the Heat must feel after thinking they had their finals ticket booked. All other games in the series have ended with the winning team running away with the game comfortably, and I don't see any other result here than Boston winning big in front of the home town crowd. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd (3-3, 5.74 ERA) is 0-3 with an ERA of 8.64 over 16 2/3 innings home at Comerica Park this season.

MIKE'S 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK All aboard the Boston Celtics bandwagon! Yes, the Celtics are about as square of a play as it gets, but they are clearly the more talented team and they have all the momentum in this series. Miami overperformed through the first three games of the series but is now choking big time. I do not see the Heat coming back and expect it to be Boston in blowouts from now on, as to be expected when a No. 1 seed faces a No. 8 seed. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS -2.5. |

MIKE'S 10* MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK The Blue Jays put up 20 runs at Tampa Bay on May 23, but take out that performance and their runs per game average over their last 10 games is mediocre at best. Minnesota righty-hander Louie Varland (2-0, 4.18 ERA) has an ERA of 2.92 in two home starts. Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman (2-3, 3.14 ERA) has allowed only four earned runs over 21 innings through his last four starts. Under is 7-0-1 in Blue Jays last 8 Friday games. Under is 6-2 in Twins last 8 games following an off day. Under is 19-9-4 in Twins last 32 during game 1 of a series. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

MIKE'S 10* MLB MONEYLINE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY I think the Rays should be bigger home favorites here with Zach Eflin (6-1, 3.45 ERA) on the mound. Sure, Eflin has an ugly ERA of 8.16 in three career starts against Toronto, but those took place in 2016, 2018 and 2020 respectively. Eflin is 5-0 with an ERA of 2.70 in five day starts this season while Toronto right-hander Alek Manoah (1-4, 5.15 ERA) is 0-1 with an ERA of 6.10 in four day starts. The Rays have a 15-6 team record in day games. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |

Miami is batting .285 while averaging 4.67 runs per nine innings against left-handers, more than a run higher than their 3.52 R/9 average overall. Miami rookie right-hander Eury Perez (1-0, 2.79 ERA) has allowed only three runs on seven hits and three walks over 9 2/3 innings in his first two big league starts. The Marlins are 11-7 as favorites. The Rockies are 16-22 as underdogs. 10* PLAY ON MIAMI MARLINS. |

MIKE'S 10* NUGGETS/LAKERS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK Through the first three games of the series, the Nuggets have made it clear that if they show up, they don't lose. The only way I see the Lakers winning here is if the Nuggets decide to take the night off to close out the series at home instead. So my reasoning is that if they lose, they won't cover the spread, and if they show up, they'll win outright. Therefore, I think we're getting better value on the moneyline than the point spread. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

05-22-23 | Rangers -121 v. Pirates | Top | 4-6 | Loss | -121 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to fade the Pirates who are 3-7 in their last 10 games. Right-hander Luis Ortiz (0-2, 6.53 ERA) has only six big league starts under his belt and he has allowed seven runs (five earned) on 14 hits and five walks over just eight innings this year. The Rangers counter with Dane Dunning (4-0, 1.69 ERA) who has been solid since moving from the bullpen to the rotation. Dunning is 2-0 with an ERA of 1.59 and 12 strikeouts over 17 innings in three starts this season. The Rangers are 7-3 in their last 10 games, and they've averaged 8.60 runs over their last five games and 7.00 runs over their last 10 games. 10* PLAY ON TEXAS RANGERS. |

10* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK - CELTICS/HEAT G3 BEST BET Both of the first two games of this series went over the total (and this line), and the Heat are 10-5 to the over for the season. Over is 10-2 in Celtics' last 12 road games and I think they'll really push the tempo here as they're desperate for a win. Additionally, the over is 10-2 in Heat's last 12 home games. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

The Blue Jays bats have been cold, but they put up five runs yesterday and here they'll face Dean Kremer (5-1, 4.94 ERA) who has posted an ERA of 9.68 over 13 innings of work in his day starts this year. Kremer is 1-2 with an ERA of 6.21 in 6 starts versus the Blue Jays in his career. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

10* NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S NUGGETS/LAKERS MAJOR WAGER Through the first two games of the series, I think the Nuggets have made it very clear that turn it up a notch and run away with the game whenever they feel like it. Here see more than a 10-point swing on the point spread compared to the two games in Denver, only because of the change of venue to LA which seems wild to me. Sure, Denver is a lot better at home than on the road, but note that the Nuggets are 6-2 ATS on the season when spotted five points or more on the road. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

05-20-23 | Dodgers +103 v. Cardinals | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 47 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY After a rocky start, Noah Syndergaard (1-3, 5.94 ERA) has started to find somewhat of a rhythm. He allowed three runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings when he took on the Cardinals at home on April 30, a game the Dodgers won 6-3. Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas (2-1, 4.91 ERA) has heated up and has posted an ERA of 2.81 over his last three starts, but at this price, I think the Dodgers are a no-brainer bet as I expect them to close as a bigger favorite. On the season, the Dodgers are 6-1 SU as a favorite of no more than -130. They are 15-4 SU as a favorite of no more than -150. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |

MIKE'S 10* TOP-RATED LAKERS/NUGGETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Denver Nuggets built up a big lead early before taking their foot off the gas in the backend of Game 1 of this series. In the end, the Nuggets won by six which would cover this number. The Lakers with AD and Lebron should not be underestimated, but at times it looked like men against boys, and the Lakers are now 4-10-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Denver. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Lakers are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

05-18-23 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 8-16 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE OF THE MONTH The Cardinals are only 8-14 at home on the season and righty Adam Wainwright (0-0, 7.20 ERA), has allowed eight runs on 15 hits through 10 innings over two starts after starting the season on the IL. Wainwright faced the Dodgers once last season and gave up four runs on six hits over just three innings. The Dodgers will start Julio Urias (5-3, 3.61 ERA) who is 2-0 with 17 strikeouts and a 2.29 ERA in three starts this month. This will be Urias first career start versus St. Louis. The Dodgers have won each of the last five meetings and seven of the last eight. The Dodgers are money against the runline as road favorites, and I think there's better value on the RL than the ML. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1½. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY Lance Lynn (1-5, 7.51 ERA) has made a name for himself as a reliable starter, but he's had a terrible start to the year and here he'll face a Cleveland team that has scored 12 runs over its last two games. Since the start of the 2021, season, Lynn is 2-4 with an ERA of 5.04 in nine starts versus the Guardians. Cleveland counters with Right-hander Shane Bieber (3-1, 2.61 ERA) who has a 6-2 record with an ERA of 2.40 and 59 strikeouts in nine appearances versus the White Sox since the start of the 2021 season. Cleveland is a low-scoring team, but with this massive edge on the mound, at this price you just have back the Guardians. 10* PLAY ON CLEVELAND GUARDIANS. |

MIKE'S 10* CELTICS/HAWKS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Celtics have allowed Philly to hang around in this series until Game 7, but I think it ends with a blowout win for Boston. When focused and locked, in they're clearly the better team and they're three wins ahve come by 34, 12 and nine points. They have home-court advantage here in this win-or-go-home game, and we'll hopefully see Jason Tatum waking up earlier than in the fourth quarter, as was the case in Philly Thursday night. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

They're 3-0 off back-to-back-losses on the season and with righty Zach Eflin (4-1, 2.91 ERA) they'll have a solid edge on the mound versus Yankees righty Clarke Schmidt (1-3, 5.35 ERA). 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |

Both teams' bats are hot and neither of today's starters, Chris Sale (3-2, 6.37 ERA) and Steven Matz (0-4, 5.70 ERA) has had a particularly good start to the year. The Cardinals are 8-2 to the over in their last 10. The Red Sox are 7-2-1 to the over in their last 10. The over is 15-6 in Boston's 21 games home at Fenway Park on the season. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

MIKE'S 10* LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY The first two games of the series went over the total, but both coaches have made adjustments defensively and the following two games both went under the total.

Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (6-0, 2.03 ERA) has had a superb start to the year, but the Orioles are averaging 7.22 runs per nine innings against southpaws. Baltimore right-hander Kyle Gibson (4-1, 4.61 ERA) allowed six runs on 10 hits with no strikeouts and no walks over 6 2/3 innings in a 6-0 loss to the host Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.

Joe Musgrove is 0-6 with an ERA of 4.04 and 50 strikeouts in 9 starts against the Dodgers in his career. The talent gap between these two teams is closer than in recent years, but I still have the Dodgers as the better team and they are 4-1 as a favorite of no more than -130 on the season. This looks like a great price on the better team just because they're on the road. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |

Philadelphia is a good team, but it really lit a fire in the Celtics by winning Game 1 and I expect another comfortable Boston win here. Celtics are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Celtics are 35-17-1 ATS in their last 53 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 76ers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.

MIKE'S 10* CELTICS/SIXERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Celtics bounced back with a big win in Game 2 after dropping the series opener, and I think it'll be smooth sailing for Boston from here on. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Celtics are 36-16-1 ATS in their last 53 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. 76ers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Celtics are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

05-04-23 | Lakers v. Warriors -5.5 | Top | 100-127 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
MIKE'S LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers won the opener of the series behind big play from AD. I expect the Warriors to make adjustments and contain him better here, and we should see a much better defensive performance from Golden State as they look to snap back from the loss. Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Lakers are 3-9-1 ATS following a win as a road underdog, they are also 10-3 to the under in that spot and the under is 7-2 in Warriors last 9 games following an ATS loss. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

05-03-23 | 76ers +10.5 v. Celtics | Top | 87-121 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 30 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/CELTICS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Philly stole Game 1, so now we'll see Boston storm back with a blowout win in Game 2, right? Not so fast IMO. The Celtic have struggled to cover big spreads all season long and the Sixers have looked really sharp here in the playoffs, even with Embiid missing some games. I don't see Philly winning outright again, but this is too many points for Boston to cover. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. |

05-02-23 | Lakers v. Warriors -4 | Top | 117-112 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 25 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers defeated Memphis in six games in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Warriors needed seven games to get past the Kings, but they did not have the homecourt advantage in that series (which they will have here against the Lakeshow). The Warriors may have a poor road record this season, but they are 40-18-1 ATS in their last 59 home games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. This is a series where I could easily see the home team winning every game and I expect Golden State to run away with this one. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

05-01-23 | Reds v. Padres -1.5 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY Cincinnati is 1-8 SU as road underdogs on the season. Cincy right-hander Luke Weaver (0-1, 7.71 ERA) has been roughed up in both of his two starts on the season, adn he has served up five homers over 11 2/3 innings of work. Padres left-hander Blake Snell (0-4, 5.48 ERA) has also had a rough start to the year, but he's looked better in recent starts and Padres are 14-3 in the last 17 meetings with the Reds. 10* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO PADRES -1½. |

04-30-23 | Panthers +1.5 v. Bruins | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NHL PUCKLINE OF THE MONTH Game 7 of this Eastern Conference opening-round matchup, and I think we're getting a really, really good price on the Panthers to cover the puckline. They've shown they can go toe to toe with Boston throughout the series, and while only one of the previous six games were decided by one goal, I expect this to be a close affair. 10* PLAY ON FLORIDA PANTHERS +1.5. |

04-30-23 | Warriors v. Kings UNDER 229.5 | Top | 120-100 | Win | 100 | 15 h 22 m | Show |
10* NBA TOTAL OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S WESTERN CONF BEST BET The over/under is an even 3-3 for the first six games of the series, but surely we'll see a relatively low-scoring affair here in Game 7. The Warriors have plenty of Game 7 experience, and historically those games have gone under the total more often than not. Sure, the bookmakers have adjusted this total down compared to the previous games in the series, but not enough IMO. Under is 13-6-1 in the last 20 meetings in Sacramento. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

04-29-23 | Pirates -134 v. Nationals | Top | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 39 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB MONEYLINE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The 18-8 Pirates are showing no signs of slowing down, and here they'll get a look at Nats left-hander Patrick Corbin (1-3, 5.88 ERA who has been a solid fade in recent seasons. 10* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH PIRATES. |

04-28-23 | Grizzlies v. Lakers -4.5 | Top | 85-125 | Win | 100 | 20 h 32 m | Show |
MIKE'S GRIZZLIES/LAKERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers are in a position to close out the series at home following a 116-99 loss in Memphis a couple of nigths ago. They've been a step ahead of the Grizzlies for most of the series, and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss (4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points). The Grizzlies are 7-22 ATS in their last 29 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES LAKERS. |

04-27-23 | Celtics -6.5 v. Hawks | Top | 128-120 | Win | 100 | 13 h 6 m | Show |
MIKE'S CELTICS/HAWKS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER I expect the Celtics to go off and close out the series following an upset loss home at TD Garden. They've covered the spread in each game they've on in this series, and they are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Hawks are 20-44 ATS in their last 64 games following a straight up win. Hawks are 17-38 ATS in their last 55 games following an ATS win. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

04-26-23 | Dodgers -131 v. Pirates | Top | 1-8 | Loss | -131 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Dodgers won the opener of this series 8-7 on Monday. The Pirates came into the week on a seven-game winning streak, but I think they might start sliding now. Los Angeles right-hander Tony Gonsolin will make his first start of the season after going 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA in 24 starts in 2022. In two career starts against the Pirates, Gonsolin is 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA. Pittsburgh right-hander Roansy Contreras (2-1, 4.57 ERA) has had three great starts and one poor outing, but here he'll face a Dodgers team that is starting to pick up the pace. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |
|||||||
04-25-23 | Dodgers -115 v. Pirates | Top | 8-7 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Pirates are 16-7 on the season while the Dodgers are "only" 12-11, but are the Pirates a better baseball team than the Dodgers? I don't think anyone would argue yes ... The Dodgers are 0-4 in Noah Syndergaard's first four starts for the team despite Syndergaard (0-3, 4.91 ERA) allowing only two runs in each of his last two starts. Syndergaard is 2-2 with an ERA of 2.73 and 29 strikeouts over 33 innings in five starts versus the Pirates in his career and I think the Dodgers will do their absolute best to get him a W here. Pittsburgh righty Johan Ovideo (2-1, 2.22 ERA) is off to a great start to the year, but now he'll face a Dodgers team whose bats are heating up and they are averaging 5.89 runs per nine innings against right-handers. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |

04-24-23 | A's v. Angels -1.5 | Top | 11-10 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 35 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The A's are 4-18 SU and 8-14 against the runline on the season as underdogs. The Angels are batting .285 while averaging 5.40 runs per nine innings against left-handers on the season. Oakland left-hander Ken Waldichuk (0-2, 7.65 ERA) was tagged with six runs on nine hits on 5 2/3 innings of a 6-0 loss to the Angels on April 2 in his first start of the season. Angels left-hander Jose Suarez has an ERA of 2.70 and 20 strikeouts over 23 1/3 frames in four starts versus the Athletics in his career. He had a 2-0 record with an ERA of 0.00 and 13 strikeouts in two starts against the Athletics last year. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES ANGELS -1.5. |

04-24-23 | Bucks -5.5 v. Heat | Top | 114-119 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Bucks are back under pressure after losing Game 3 of the series. They bounced back with a superb effort after dropping the opener of the series, and I expect that to be the case again tonight. Bucks are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 Conference Quarterfinals games. Bucks are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Heat are 16-34-1 ATS in their last 51 games following an ATS win. Heat are 16-34-2 ATS in their last 52 games following a straight up win. Heat are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* CELTICS/HAWKS MAJOR WAGER The Atlanta Hawks won 130-122 on Friday, but the Celtics are still holding a 2-1 lead in the series and I think they'll set themselves up to win the series in five games with a win tonight. Celtics are 11-0 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Hawks are 20-43 ATS in their last 63 games following a straight up win. Hawks are 17-37 ATS in their last 54 games following an ATS win. Hawks are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Celtics are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

MIKE'S 10* GRIZZLIES/LAKERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers are in control of the series after splitting two games in Memphis, but I think the Grizzlies have a great chance of winning this one outright. Ja Morant is by the looks of it a game-time decision after missing Wednesday's Game 2 win, but no Morant, no problem as the Grizzlies have proven time and time again that they can win even without their superstar. 10* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. |

04-22-23 | Astros v. Braves -105 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 20 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* ASTROS/BRAVES MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Atlanta right-hander Kyle Wright (0-0, 6.23 ERA) has not had a great start to the year, but the Braves have still won both of his first two starts of the year. Wright held Houston to 2 runs on 6 hits with 1 walk and 7 strikeouts in 6 innings last year. He was credited with the win. Astros left-hander Framber Valdez (3-0, 1.44 ERA) has had a great start to the season, but the team has lost three of his four starts. Braves hitters ave an OBP of .389 against left-handed pitchers this season - best in the MLB. The price is right to back the Braves. 10* PLAY ON ATLANTA BRAVES. |

04-20-23 | Kings v. Warriors UNDER 239.5 | Top | 97-114 | Win | 100 | 17 h 40 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* KINGS/WARRIORS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The betting market is treating this like a regular season game when it comes to the total, something I strongly disagree with. Game 2 of the series saw 220 points scored, and while Draymond Greene's suspension will affect the Warriors negatively on the defensive end, I still think this total is too high. Under is 19-7-1 in Kings last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 16-5-1 in Warriors last 22 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/NETS NBA ATS TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Nets did not stand a chance in either of the first two games of the series, and I don't think much will change just because they're at home here in Game 3 of the series. Nets are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. 76ers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 76ers are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 76ers are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS.

04-19-23 | Heat v. Bucks -6 | Top | 122-138 | Win | 100 | 14 h 40 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S HEAT/BUCKS MAJOR WAGER This looks like a great spot to back the Bucks following a humbling 130-117 loss in the opener of this best-of-seven series. The Heat have struggled with consistency all season, and they are 7-27-1 ATS in their last 35 games following an ATS win while the Bucks are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following an ATS loss. Giannis Antetokounmpo left Game 1 late in the first quarter due to a lower-back/tailbone injury, and he is listed as doubtful for Game 2, but I still like the Bucks to bounce back with a big win. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |

MIKE'S EARLY MLB RUNLINE GAME OF THE WEEK Reds righty Levi Stoudt will be making his MLB debut Wednesday afternoon, and he could not have faced a tougher opponent. The Rays have started the season red hot. They're 15-2 and 14-3 against the RL as favorites and have averaged 7.08 runs per nine innings over their first 18 games. Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen (2-1, 2.60 ERA) has started the season strong and the Rays are 11-0 SU and 9-2 against the runline in his last 11 starts as a favorite of at least -150. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5. |
