At 8:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2). Pittsburgh (63-27-6) earned the opportunity to defend their Stanley Cup Championship in this year’s Stanley Cup with their 3-2 victory over Ottawa in the climactic seventh game of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday. The Penguins host this opening game as they retain the home ice advantage in this series — and the Under is 8-3-2 in their last 13 games at home. While Pittsburgh has two of the best forwards in the world in Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, head coach Mike Sullivan has had his team play a bit more conservatively to help compensate for some of the injuries on their blue line. Furthermore, expect both teams to be cautious in this opening game as they feel each other out after their tough respective Conference Finals. The Penguins have played 22 of their last 32 opening games of a new series in the playoffs. Additionally, the Predators will be taking the ice for the first time in a week for this game — and that helps place the Under into an empirical angle that has been 69% effective over the last five seasons. In games between non-conference opponents with the Total set at 5.5, when the road team is playing with at least three days of rest, these games then finished Under the Total in 36 of the last 52 situations where these conditions applied.

Nashville (53-33-12) closed out their series with Anaheim in six games with their 6-3 victory last Monday. The Under is then 4-0-1 in their last 5 games after scoring at least five goals in their last game. Despite that scoring explosion, this real strength of this team is their blue line where they have the luxury of four players in Roman Josi, Ryan Ellis, P.K. Subban and Mattias Ekholm could all be the number one defenseman on most other teams. These four players form two elite defensive pairings that will give the Penguins trouble — particularly early on in this series. Moving forward, the Under is 11-2-4 in the Predators’ last 17 games against an opponent that allowed two goals or less in their last game. Lastly, the Under is 4-1-2 in Nashville’s last 7 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice. 25* National Hockey League Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New York Mets (903) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (904) listing both starting pitchers Jacob DeGrom and Chad Kuhl. Pittsburgh (22-26) has seen their bats awaken over the last two games as they have scored 21 runs over that span while belting six home runs in their four-game series against the Braves. The Pirates have won two straight games with their 9-4 win in Atlanta last night. Pittsburgh has then seen the Over go 9-4-2 in their last 15 games after a victory. The Over is also 5-1-1 in the Pirates’ last 7 games after scoring at least five runs in their last contest. And in their last 9 home games against teams with a losing record on the road, the Over is 6-2-1. They send out Kuhl who is 1-4 with a 5.85 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP in nine starts this season. The right-hander has been hit hard in his five starts home this year where he has been saddled with an 8.20 ERA, 2.09 WHIP and .329 opponent’s batting average as compared to his solid 3.80 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and .259 opponent’s batting average when on the road. These disparate home/road splits are entirely consistent with last season where Kuhl had a 7.03 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and .330 opponent’s batting average at home but a strong 2.72 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and .231 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Pirates have played 8 of their last 11 home games Over the Total with Kuhl on the mound.

New York (19-26) enters this series have lost two straight games with their 4-3 loss to the Padres last night. The Over is then 19-6-4 in the Mets’ last 29 games after a loss. The Over is also 9-1-2 in the opening games of a new series. Additionally, the over is 22-8-2 in New York’s last 32 games against teams with a losing record. And in their last 18 games on the road, the Over is 13-3-2. They counter with DeGrom who is 3-1 with a 3.56 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP in nine starts this season. The right-hander has not been as effective in his five starts on the road where he has a 4.65 ERA along with a 1.35 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .262 as compared to his 2.19 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and .202 opponent’s batting average when at home. These disparate home/road split stats are consistent with last year where DeGrom had a 4.16 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .312 on the road as compared to his 2.11 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and .201 opponent’s batting average when at home. The Mets have played 4 straight road games Over the Total with DeGrom on the mound. Furthermore, the Over is 11-5-3 in New York’s last 19 home games against right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB National League Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the New York Mets (903) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (904) listing both starting pitchers Jacob DeGrom and Chad Kuhl. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 3:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Miami Marlins (923) and the Oakland A’s (924) listing both starting pitchers Edison Volquez and Sonny Gray. Miami (16-28) opened this series with a 10-8 victory over the A’s last night. The Marlins have then seen the Over go 4-0-1 in their last 5 games after scoring at least five runs in their last game — and they have seen the Over go 3-0-1 in their last 4 games after allowing at least five runs in their last contest. The Over is also 18-7-2 in Miami’s last 27 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. And in their last 15 road games against American League opponents, the Marlins have played 12 of these games Over the Total. They send out Volquez who is 0–6 with a 4.87 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been less effective on the road in five starts where he has a 5.26 ERA and a rough opponent’s batting average of .303 as compared to his 4.20 ERA and .222 opponent’s batting average in three starts at home this season. These disparate home/road split stats are consistent with last year where Volquez had an uninspiring 5.11 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and .285 opponent’s batting average at home with all those numbers even worse on the road to a 5.71 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and .287 opponent’s batting average. That does not bode well when facing this Oakland team that has played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against teams using a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. Furthermore, the A’s have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers.

Oakland (20-25) has lost two straight games — and they have played 10 of their last 11 games Over the Total after a loss. The A’s have also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. Oakland has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total on their home field. They counter with Sonny Gray who is 1-1 with a 3.97 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP this season. The right-hander has not been as effective at home where he has a 1.31 WHIP and .262 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 1.17 WHIP and .222 opponent’s batting average when on the road. Last season, Gray had a 5.80 ERA and .295 opponent’s batting average at home as compared to his more modest 5.57 ERA and .275 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The A’s have played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total with Gray on the mound. And while Gray comes off a technical Quality Start where he allowed three earned runs in 6 innings of work at home against the Red Sox, Oakland has seen the Over go 12-3-1 in their last 16 games with Gray looking to follow up a Quality Start. Lastly, the Over is 18-5-5 in the Marlins’ last 28 games on the road against right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB Getaway Game Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Miami Marlins (923) and the Oakland A’s (924) listing both starting pitchers Edison Volquez and Sonny Gray.

At 9:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (725) and the San Antonio Spurs (726). San Antonio (69-28) decided to play small-ball on Saturday in Game Three of this series which resulted in them being at their most competitive against the Warriors since losing Kawhi Leonard to his left ankle injury. However, the Spurs still lost that game by a 120-108 score as a 9-point underdog. Kyle Anderson was inserted into the starting lineup — and while he is not a prolific scorer per se, he did help San Antonio score points through his athleticism. San Antonio forced 21 turnovers which instigated 25 points — and they also scored 23 points on the fast break. With LaMarcus Aldridge still struggling on offense being very uncomfortable in the role of the team’s primary scorer, look for head coach Gregg Popovich to continue to play small ball with perhaps Aldridge seeing more time on the bench. Small-ball means faster play and more offense for the Spurs (and the Warriors) — and that helps our Over even if Aldridge and his disastrous play on defense is on the bench. As it is, San Antonio has played 20 of their last 28 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 8 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a point spread loss. Furthermore, the Spurs have played 19 of their last 27 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss. San Antonio has also played 10 of their last 12 games Over the Total when avenging a double-digit loss. Additionally, the Spurs have played 5 straight games on their home court Over the Total. And while San Antonio has failed to cover the point spread in four of their last six games, they have then played 8 of their last 9 home games Over the Total after failing to cover the point spread in four or five of their last six games.

Golden State (78-15) is more than happy to play small-ball. Their “Death” Lineups feature Draymond Green playing center while adding another guard on the court — usually in Andre Iguodala who did play on Saturday after dealing with a knee injury. The Warriors scored 120 points in that game despite Stephen Curry scoring only 21 points while being in foul trouble. He has an elbow issue but is listed as probable tonight. Kevin Durant has been unstoppable — he leads the NBA with a 57.9% shooting percentage on contested shots in the playoffs. Golden State has played 4 straight games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. The Warriors have also played 19 of their last 27 games Over the Total after two straight double-digit victories. And in their last 7 games on the road, Golden State has played 6 of these games Over the Total. 25* NBA Western Conference Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (725) and the San Antonio Spurs (726). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Texas Rangers (965) and the Detroit Tigers (966) listing both starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Matthew Boyd. Detroit (21-20) closes out this series tonight after their 9-3 win over the Rangers in the second game of this series. The Tigers have then played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a victory. Detroit has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. And in their last 26 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road, the Under is 18-5-3. They send out Boyd who is 2-3 with a 5.18 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP this season. The left-hander is looking to redeem himself from a bad outing where he allowed seven earned runs in 2 1/3 innings of work against the Orioles on Tuesday. Boyd has been respectable at home where he has a 1.30 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .241 — it is on the road where he has really struggled with a 1.98 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .329. Detroit has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total with Boyd pitching with four days of rest. He should pitch better tonight against this Rangers team that has played 4 straight games Under the Total against left-handed starting pitchers.

Texas (23-21) counters with Yu Darvish who is 4-2 with a 2.76 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP in nine starts this season. The right-hander has been more effective on the road where he has a 2.23 ERA as compared to a 2.97 ERA when at home. Those results are consistent with last season where Darvish had a 2.28 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and .185 opponent’s batting average on the road as compared to his 4.26 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and .235 opponent’s batting average when at home. The Under is 4-1-2 in the Rangers’ last 7 games on the road with Darvish facing a team with a winning record. The Under is also a decisive 49-27-10 in Texas’ last 86 games with Darvish on the mound with the Total set in the 7-8.5 range. Lastly, while the Tigers have an unappealing 5.31 ERA from their bullpen this season, Texas has played 12 of their last 16 games Under the Total against teams with a bullpen ERA of 4.20 or higher. 25* MLB Sunday Night ESPN Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Texas Rangers (965) and the Detroit Tigers (966) listing both starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Matthew Boyd. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (501) and the Boston Celtics (502). Boston (61-35) was emotionally flat in the first half of the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics missed all eight of their open 3-point shots in the first-half en route to making only 12 of 38 shots from behind the arc (31.8%) in a 117-104 loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday as a 3.5-point underdog. Isaiah Thomas scored only 17 points in that game. Expect this Boston team that makes 36.1% from the 3-point line on their home court to shoot better from behind the arc. The Celtics should also come out with much more energy tonight considering the urgency they will face in needing to win this game before traveling to Cleveland to play Games Three and Four. Boston can exploit the Cavaliers who were last in the regular season in transition defense. The Celtics have played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss. The Over is also 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a point spread setback. And in their last 16 home games, the Over is 12-3-1 — and that includes being a perfect 7-0 in these playoffs.

Cleveland (60-31) overwhelmed the Celtics despite making just 11 of their 31 shots from the 3-point line. While that 35.5% shooting mark is respectable, it is nowhere close to the ceiling regarding what this team can produce. The Cavaliers entered this series making 43.4% of their 3-point shots in the playoffs while a whopping 59.3% of their shots from the field in these playoffs have been from downtown. Kyle Korver was just 1 of 6 from behind the arc after entering this series making 48.5% of his 3-pointers. J.R. Smith missed his lone 3-pointer after entering this series making 44.1% of his 3-pointers. Instead, LeBron began that game by pounding the Celtics down low by scoring 26 points in the paint and shooting 81.2% on those shots on the way to scoring 38 points. Brad Stevens will likely have to double-team James — and that opens up all the 3-point shooting that this Cleveland team has carefully assembled since LeBron returned to Cleveland. The Cavs also entered this series with an effective field goal percentage of 70.7% on catch-and-shoot jump shots in the playoffs — and these are the shots that they will have once James dishes out of double-team situations. This game will be a up-and-down shootout on both ends of the court. As it is, Cleveland has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a straight-up win. The Cavaliers have also played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. Cleveland has also played 8 of their last 11 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 33 road games as a favorite, the Cavaliers have played 23 of these games Over the Total. 25* NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (501) and the Boston Celtics (502). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (9) and the Nashville Predators (10). Nashville (51-32-12) took a 2-1 lead in this series on Tuesday with their 2-1 victory. The Predators thrive off the energy of the home crowd in Bridgestone Arena which helps ensure they provide maximum effort for all sixty minutes of the game. That helps explain why they have allowed only one goal in each of their last five playoff games on their home ice. The Under is now 9-1-2 in their last 12 games at home. Nashville has also played 13 of their last 19 games Under the Total following a game that finished Under the Total. Much of the reason why the Preds are so tough at home is that head coach Peter LaViolette gets the option of the last line shift which affords him maximum flexibility to deploy his two elite defensive lines of Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis along with P.K. Subban Mattias Ekholm. The club is also getting outstanding goaltending from Pekka Rinne who has a superb .958 save percentage on the 167 shots he has faced at home in these playoffs. Moving forward, the Under is 4-0-1 in Nashville’s last 5 games after scoring two goals or less in their last game. And in their last 5 games after not allowing more than two goals, the Under is 3-1-1.

Anaheim (56-27-13) managed only 20 shots on net on Tuesday while being held without a shot for almost the entire 3rd period which includes the last minute or so when they pulled their goalie John Gibson. It will be difficult for the Ducks to have much success against those two outstanding defensive lines of the Predators that are on the ice at least two-thirds of the time. Anaheim has played 19 of their last 25 road games Under the Total after a loss by just one goal. And in their last 5 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice, the Ducks have played 4 of these games Under the Total. Expect this critical fourth game to be a hard-hitting defensive affair. 25* NHL Western Conference Total of the Year with the Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (9) and the Nashville Predators (10). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:30 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Toronto Blue Jays (919) and the Atlanta Braves (920) listing both starting pitchers Marcus Stroman and Julio Teheran. Atlanta (16-21) has won three straight games — as well as five of their last six — with their 8-4 win versus the Blue Jays in the first game in Atlanta of this two-game home-and-home series with Toronto. The Braves have then played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. The Over is also 20-7-1 in Atlanta’s last 28 home games against teams with a losing record. And in their last 5 games in Interleague play, the Braves have played 4 of these games Over the Total. The team received bad news this afternoon with the announcement that Freddie Freeman would miss 8-12 weeks after being beaned in the wrist last night in this heated series. But this team will need to score runs tonight with Julio Teheran taking the hill after surrendering six home runs, 22 hits and seven bases-on-balls in his last three starts in Atlanta. For the season, the right-hander is 3-3 with a 4.08 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP this year — but he sees those numbers explode at home with an 8.14 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .310 in four starts. The Braves have played 8 of their last 11 home games Over the Total with Teheran on the hill. That is not a good sign against this Toronto team that has played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. The Blue Jays have also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against teams using a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher.

Toronto (17-24) has allowed 27 runs while losing three straight games. The Blue Jays have then played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after a loss. Toronto has also played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total on the road. They counter with Marcus Stroman who is 3-2 with a 3.33 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP this season. The right-hander has not quite been as good on the road where he has a 3.44 ERA as compared to his 3.27 ERA when at home. This is consistent with last season where Stroman had a 1.26 WHIP and .259 opponent’s batting average at home but saw those numbers rise to a 1.32 WHIP and .269 opponent’s batting average on the road. Stroman comes off a nice outing where he allowed two runs at home in 6 innings against the Mariners — but the Blue Jays have then played 4 straight games Over the Total with Stroman looking to follow up a Quality Start. The Braves have played 6 of their last 7 home games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. And in their last 40 games against teams using a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher, the Over is 27-10-3. 25* MLB Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Toronto Blue Jays (919) and the Atlanta Braves (920) listing both starting pitchers Marcus Stroman and Julio Teheran. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (7) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (8). Pittsburgh (59-25-6) was flat on Saturday in their 2-1 loss in overtime to the Senators in the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Penguins failed to score in any of their five Power Play chances that included 45 seconds where they had a 5-on-3 advantage. I was not surprised as I expected Pittsburgh to struggle to adjust to Ottawa’s 1-3-1 zone trapping system. Look for Sidney Crosby and company to play much better on the offensive end of the ice tonight. The Penguins have played 13 of their last 18 games Over the Total after failing to score more than one goal. And while Pittsburgh has played two straight Unders, they have then played 10 of their last 13 games Over the Total after playing two straight Unders. Additionally, the Pens have played 16 of their last 23 games Over the Total when attempting to avenge a loss to their opponent where they scored only one goal. And in their last 27 games on their home ice where the Total was not 5.5 or higher, the game finished Over the Total 21 times.

Ottawa (53-33-6) has seen the Over go 3-0-3 in their last 6 games after scoring two goals or less in their last game. The Over is also a decisive 43-19-7 in the Penguins’ last 69 games when facing a team that did not score more than two goals in their last contest. The Senators scored a surprising 19 goals in their six game series with the Rangers last round which included scoring five and four goals in the last two games of that series. They are averaging 2.83 Goals-Per-Game in the playoffs — and they will need to improve that scoring pace to stay competitive with this Pittsburgh team that leads all teams in the playoffs by scoring 3.42 Goals-Per-Game. Ottawa does have thirteen players who have scored in these playoffs — and they will be facing a Penguins’ blue line that is depleted with injuries to Kris Letang and Trevor Daley. 25* NHL Playoffs *A-List* O/U Special with Over the Total in the game between the Over the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (7) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (8). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:00 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2). Pittsburgh (59-24-6) picked themselves off the mat after losing two straight games to the Capitals by then shuttin out Washington on their home ice to win that climactic Game Seven by a 2-0 score. Marc-Andre Fleury earned the shutout by stopping 29 shots — he has a .927 save percentage in the twelve playoff games he has started this postseason. While the Penguins have significant injuries on their blue-line with Kris Letang out for these playoffs and Trevor Daley still questionable with his lower body injury, head coach Mike Sullivan has had his team adapt by being less aggressive and emphasizing their defensive tactics. Pittsburgh has blocked 250 shots in the first two rounds of the playoffs. But this decision has also impacted the Penguins’ ability to apply pressure on offense. They averaged only 23 shots on net per game in that seven-game series with the Capitals. Moving forward, Pittsburgh has played 21 of their last 31 opening games of a new playoff series Under the Total. The Under is also 5-2-1 in the Penguins’ last 8 home games against teams with a winning record on the road.

Ottawa (52-33-6) reached the Eastern Conference Finals with their 4-2 victory over the Rangers in Madison Square Garden to close that series out in six games on Tuesday. Not only have the Senators then played 15 of their last 23 games Under the Total after playing a game on the road but they have played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total after a win on the road where they scored at least four goals. This team scored a surprising 19 combined goals in their six game series over the Rangers which might speak more about the state of the New York blue-line that it does about the potency of their offensive attack. Ottawa wishes to slow down their opponents with their 1-3-1 trapping zone schemes that look to much things up in the neutral zone. Expect the Penguins to struggle to solve that system in this opening game of this series. 25* NHL Eastern Conference Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:35 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Capitals (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2). Pittsburgh (58-23-6) blew both an opportunity to close this series out on Saturday as well as 2-1 lead after two periods in a 4-2 loss to the Capitals. The Penguins allowed three goals in the 3rd period against Washington to lose that game. Expect Pittsburgh to tighten things up on defense tonight. Despite that setback, goalie Marc Andre-Fleury has been strong in net for this team. The former Stanley Cup Champion for this team has a .921 save percentage over his last four games while posting a .929 save percentage in these playoffs after being the surprise starter for Matt Murray who suffered an injury in the pre-game warmups for the opening game in the postseason. The Penguins have played 25 of their last 36 home games Under the Total after allowing at least two goals in the 3rd period in their last game. Pittsburgh has also played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total on their home ice. And in their last 9 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%, the Under is 6-2-1.

Washington (60-25-8) has played 4 straight games Under the Total after a victory — and they have played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total after a win versus a Metropolitan Division rival. The Under is also 17-6-3 in the Capitals’ last 26 games after allowing two goals or less. Washington is doing a good job of limiting the Penguins’ chances. They limited Pittsburgh — even with Sidney Crosby back on the ice — to just 22 shots on Saturday after only 10 shots in the 1st and 2nd periods. The Pens are averaging only 23 shots on net in this series. Moving forward, the Under is 5-2-1 in Washington’s last 8 games on the road. And in their last 15 games against fellow Metropolitan Division opponents, the Under is 10-2-3. 25* NHL 2nd Round Metropolitan Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Washington Capitals (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2).

At 8:35 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (509) and the Utah Jazz (510). Golden State (73-15) has now won seven straight games with their 115-104 win over the Jazz on Thursday as a 13.5-point favorite. The Warriors have then played 12 of their last 17 games Under the Total after a double-digit win. Golden State has also played 23 of their last 31 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Furthermore, while the Warriors have failed to cover the point spread in the first two games of this series, they have then played a decisive 42 of their last 60 games Under the Total after failing to cover the point spread in two straight games. Golden State has won their last three games by at least 12 points — and they have then played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total after winning at least three straight gams by double-digits. And while the Warriors have scored at least 106 points in seven straight games, they have then played 13 of their last 18 road games Under the Total after scoring at least 105 points in five straight games. Additionally, Golden State has played 25 of the last 35 road games Under the Total which includes twelve of their last seventeen games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. And in their last 26 games against teams with a winning record, the Under is 19-6-1.

Utah (55-36) saw the Warriors shoot 49.4% from the field on Thursday which was their worst defensive effort in their last six games. Their point guard George Hill remains questionable with his toe injury — and even if he takes the court tonight, his effectiveness will not be at 100%. The Jazz did score 104 points with Shelvin Mack starting at point guard — but they have then played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Furthermore, the Under is 6-1-1 in Utah’s last 8 games against teams with a winning record. Lastly, the Under is 24-8-2 in the last 34 meetings between these two teams including a 10-4-1 mark when playing in Salt Lake City. 25* NBA 2nd Round Western Conference Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (509) and the Utah Jazz (510).

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

Washington (59-25-8) has played 23 of their last 36 games Over the Total after a game that finished below the number. Head coach Barry Trotz made headlines with his announcement that he is moving Alex Ovechkin to the third line. The top forward line with Niklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie will be still be potent — while making that 3rd line more vibrant with Ovechkin manning it. But don’t be surprised if Trotz doubles Ovechkin’s shifts in this desperate situation by having him continue to play with Backstrom and Oshie. The Capitals put 38 shots on net in Game Four — and they have outshot the Penguins by 49 shots in this series. In many ways, they are outplaying the defending Stanley Cup Champions. They should get their share of goals tonight. Lastly, the Over is 6-2-2 in Washington’s last 10 games when playing with two days of rest. While grabbing the 5 (at a higher price) is worth it, still take the Over if 5.5 is your only option). 25* NHL 2nd Round Metropolitan Division Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Penguins (61) and the Washington Capitals (62). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Miami (12-16) has now lost four of their last five games — and the Over is now 8-3-1 in their last 12 games against NL East opponents. The Over is also 6-2-1 in the Marlins’ last 9 games on the road. And in Miami’s last 16 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home, the Marlins have played 13 of these games Over the Total. They called up Odrisamer Despaigne from Triple-A for the injured Wei-Yin Chen. Despaigne had 0-2 record with a 5.93 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 30 1/3 innings last season all in relief. The Padres tried him as a starting pitcher in 2014 and 2015 before giving up on the right-handed. In 2015, Despaigne had a 6.90 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and .315 opponent’s batting average when on the road. Last year in relief, Despaigne had a 6.61 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and .323 opponent’s batting average when away from home. Too many walks and not enough strikeouts is the rap on Despaigne — and his 13 bases-on-balls with only 9 Ks in 17 2/3 innings of work in the minors this season does not inspire confidence that either issue has improved. The Over is 14-4-3 in the Mets’ last 21 games against a right-handed starting pitchers. Lastly, the Over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams when playing in New York. 25* MLB National League East Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Miami Marlins (907) and the New York Mets (908) listing both starting pitchers Odrisamer Despaigne and Robert Gsellman. Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Washington (53-37) has not only seen the Over go 17-8-1 in their last 26 games after allowing at least 100 points but they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least 125 points in their last contest. The Wizards simply do not have the defenders to slow down Thomas — but they will want to continue these fast-paced games to force turnovers and create more scoring opportunities for themselves. But they should continue to find success on the offensive end of the court returning home. Washington has played 11 of their last 13 home games Over the Total after playing at least two straight games on the road. The Over is also 4-1-1 in their last 6 games when playing with one day of rest. And in their last 5 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%, the Wizards have played 4 of these games Over the Total. 25* NBA 2nd Round Playoff Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (505) and the Washington Wizards (506). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

New York (53-33-8) has seen the Under go 4-1-1 in their last 6 games after a victory. They continue to get excellent play from their goalie Henrik Lundqvist who owns a .935 save percentage in these playoffs. The Rangers are also seeing the emergence of defenseman Brady Skjei to be their best player on what was considered a suspect blue-line entering the postseason. Moving forward, the Under is 4-0-1 in New York’s last 5 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. The Under is also 8-2-2 in the Rangers’ last 12 games against Eastern Conference opponents. Lastly, the Under is 19-5-3 in the Rangers’ last 27 opportunities to host the Senators in New York. 25* NHL 2nd Round Eastern Conference Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (1) and the New York Rangers (2).

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

Edmonton (53-29-4) has played a decisive 12 of their last 15 home games Under the Total after a game where at least nine combined goals were scored. The Oilers have also seen the Under go 13-6-2 in their last 21 games after a loss at home by at least three goals. Furthermore, the Under is 8-2-1 in Edmonton’s last 11 games when playing with two days of rest. Despite their youth and the hype around their emerging superstar Connor McDavid, this has become a defensive team in the playoffs under the veteran guidance of head coach Todd McClellan. In disposing of the San Jose Sharks in six games, they averaged only 2.0 Goals-Per-Game. These Oilers were simply shellshocked at home on Sunday — expect their defense and their goalie Cam Talbot to play better tonight. Talbot was super in the opening round of the playoffs by sporting a 2.03 Goals-Against-Average along with a .927 save percentage. Lastly, the Under is 11-5-1 in the last 17 meetings between these two teams. 25* NHL Pacific Division Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (57) and the Edmonton Oilers (58). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

San Antonio (65-24) shot just 36.9% from the field in Game One which was their worst offensive effort in 38 games going back to February 6th in a game at Memphis where they shot 36.8%. That defensive performance for the Rockets was their best in 36 contests going all the way back to January 31st against Sacramento. The Spurs will shoot the basketball better tonight on their home court. Gregg Popovich’s teams have played 13 of their last 16 games Over the Total after a loss. Furthermore, his teams have also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss — and they have played 18 of their last 26 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss at home. With the San Antonio big men getting exposed by James Harden on the switch after their constant pick-and-rolls, Popovich will have to play more smaller lineups — and that should continue to push the pace in the direction that the Rockets wish to play. Additionally, the Spurs have now played 5 straight games Over the Total against Southwest Division opponents. Lastly, in the last 7 meetings between these two teams in San Antonio, the Over is 5-1-1. 25* NBA 2nd Round Southwest Division Playoff Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (733) and the San Antonio Spurs (734).

At 9:35 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the St. Louis Blues (53) and the Nashville Predators (54). Nashville (47-30-12) took a 2-1 lead in this series on Sunday with their 3-1 win over the Blues. Returning home really helps this Predators team since it affords head coach Peter Laviolette the right to make the final lineup change on the ice to produce the matchups he prefers. In the first two games of this series in St. Louis, the Blues head coach Mike Yeo chose have his star forward Vladimir Tarasenko match up against the Nashville defensive pairing of Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis. Laviolette changed that dynamic up by having P.K. Subban and Mattias Ekholm be on the ice to slow Tarasenko down — and the Blues’ star managed just three shots on goal on Sunday. The Under is 4-0-2 in St. Louis’ last 6 games at home. Overall, the Blues held the Predators to just 23 shots on net which is not nearly enough pressure on goalie Pekka Rinne who had an outstanding 0.70 Goals-Against-Average along with a .976 save percentage in the opening round of the playoffs again the powerful Blackhawks. The Under is now 3-1-4 in Nashville’s last 8 games against familiar Central Division foes. And in their last 51 opportunities to host the Blues, the Under is 35-10-6 in Nashville.

St. Louis (50-32-7) managed only 35.5% of the shot attempts in Game Three in even 5-on-5 situations. This Blues team managed only eight goals from their forwards in their five-game series with Minnesota in the opening round of the playoffs with one of those goals being an empty-netter. Since Yeo took over this team, his emphasis has been on more disciplined defensive play. This has helped the team find success when away from home as the team is currently on a 12-2-1 run on the road. Defense has been the key to that success as they have allowed only 25 combined goals in those fifteen games away from home. The Under is 11-4-1 in the Blues’ last 16 games on the road — and the Under is 5-1-1 in St. Louis’ last 7 games on the road against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. The Under is also 15-6-3 in the Blues’ last 24 games against an opponent that did not allow more than two goals in their last game. And in their last 26 games against Western Conference foes, the Under is 17-5-4. Together, these team trends produce our specific 90-27-19 combined angle for this situation. 25* NHL Central Division Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the St. Louis Blues (53) and the Nashville Predators (54). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:00 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (11) and the Edmonton Oilers (12). Anaheim (50-25-13) will be playing with desperation tonight after falling behind 2-0 in this series with their 2-1 loss to the Oilers on Friday in Game Two of this series. This team has to play disciplined and give this dynamic Edmonton team less opportunities with a man-advantage after surrendering three Power Play goals in the first two games of this series. The Ducks have played 20 of their last 25 road games Under the Total after a loss at home — and they have played fifteen of their last seventeen road games Under the Total when that loss at home was by one goal. Anaheim has also played 14 of the last 21 games Under the Total when avenging a loss by just one goal. Additionally, the Under is 4-1-2 in the Ducks’ last 7 games played with one day of rest. And in their last 17 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice, the Under is 8-3-6.

Edmonton (53-28-4) returns home to play for the first time since April 20th — and they have played 21 of their last 27 home games Under the Total after being on the road for at least seven days. The Under is also 31-15-5 in the Oilers’ last 51 games after a win. Being led by Connor McDavid gives this team the aura of a high-flying bunch of skaters, but unlike the young and talented Toronto Maple Leafs who lost in the first-round of the playoffs while playing high-scoring games, head coach Todd McClellan has his team playing tight defensive hockey. In defeating San Jose in six games last round, the Oilers scored just 2.0 Goals-Per-Game. Back at home, the Under is 34-16-8 in their last 58 games — and the Under is 23-9-4 in their last 36 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. Lastly, in the last 6 meetings between these two teams, the Under is 4-1-1. 25* NHL Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (11) and the Edmonton Oilers (12).

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

Arizona (15-10) has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after scoring two runs or less in their last game. The Diamondbacks have also seen the Over go a decisive 40-14-2 in their last 56 games at home. And in their last 8 home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road, the Over is 5-1-2. They counter with Zack Greinke who is 2-2 with a 2.93 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP this season. The right-hander allowed just one earned run in 6 innings of work in his last start against the Padres. That was the second straight start Greinke got to enjoy against the weak-hitting San Diego team. His ERA was 4.32 this season before those last two outings. Additionally, the Padres have played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total with Greinke on the mound looking to follow up a Quality Start. Lastly, the Rockies have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against teams using a right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB National League West Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Colorado Rockies (959) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (960) listing both starting pitchers Tyler Anderson and Zack Greinke.

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

Boston (12-10) has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total in Interleague games against teams with a winning record. They counter with Steven Wright who is 1-2 with an 8.66 ERA and 2.09 WHIP this season. The knuckleballer has simply not been the same since banging up his shoulder after the ill-advised decision was made last September to insert him as a pinch-runner. The right-hander has already served up seven gopher balls. Wright has also been rocked at home in Fenway Park given his 11.05 ERA, 2.45 WHIP and an stunning opponent’s batting average of .447. Wright was not as effective at home last season where he had a 4.54 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and .266 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 2.09 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and .200 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Red Sox have seen the Over go 7-0-1 in their last 8 home games with Wright facing a team with a winning record. Boston has also played 4 straight games Over the Total with Wright facing team from the National League. Lastly, the Cubs have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Cubs (979) and the Boston Red Sox (980) listing both starting pitchers John Lackey and Steven Wright.

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

Ottawa (49-31-6) peppered Henrik Lundqvist with 43 shots on net in Game One. Head coach Guy Boucher wants at least another 40 shots on goal in this contest as well as he thinks it is the only way to beat the Swedish superstar. The Senators started fast by generating 21 shots on goal in the first period on Thursday. Boucher is leaning heavily on his top two defensive pairs — and a key to this series is whether or not the Rangers’ forward depth will force him to resort to using his third defensive pair for extensive periods of time. Expect the Rangers to play fast and physical to wear down the Senators top two blue lines. Lastly, because the Senators score 2.6 Goals-Per-Game while New York allows 2.6 Goals-Per-Game, the Over is supported by a second empirical angle that has been 72% effective over the last five seasons. Ottawa has not played an Over in four straight games — and in games with the Total set at 5 or less, when the home team has not played an Over in two straight games who score 2.5-2.9 Goals-Per-Game now faces a team that allows 2.5-2.9 Goals-Per-Game, these games then finished Over the Total in 59 of the last 82 situations where these conditions applied. 25* NHL Eastern Conference Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the New York Rangers (55) and the Ottawa Senators (56).

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

Los Angeles (53-34) will have to rely on playing better on defense with Blake Griffin out for the rest of the playoffs with his toe injury. The Clippers did hold the Jazz to just 43.2% shooting on Tuesday. Doc Rivers will want this game to be a grind where things remain close which will create the opportunity for their veteran experience along with the superstar talent of Chris Paul to force a decisive seventh game on their home court. Los Angeles has covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. The Clippers have also covered the point spread in 13 of their last 16 games when playing with two days of rest. Lastly, because this is just the Clippers’ fourth game in ten days, the Under is supported by a historical angle that has been 62% effective since 1996. In games with the Total set in the 190-199.5 point range, when the road team has a winning percentage in the 60-75% range and is not playing more than their fourth game over the last ten days — and is now facing a team with a winning record — these games finished Under the Total in 177 of the last 289 situations where these conditions applied. 25* NBA 1st Round Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Clippers (507) and the Utah Jazz (508).

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

St. Louis (49-30-7) has won seven of their last eight games after taking care of business against the Wild with a 4-3 win on Saturday. The Blues have played 5 straight games Under the Total after a win. Despite wining that series in five games, this St. Louis team struggled to score goals as they found the back of the net only 11 times. Even more worrisome is the lack of productivity of their forwards. When accounting for the three goals coming from defensemen as well as one empty-netter, the Blues forwards only beat Chicago’s Corey Crawford seven times in five games. Now they have to face a very challenging 1-3-1 zone defense meant to clog things up in the neutral zone. St. Louis dominated Minnesota because of the play of Jake Allen who faced 36.4 shots per game but still posted a 1.47 GAA along with a .956 save percentage to lead the way in that series. Moving forward, the Under is 5-1-2 in the Blues’ last 8 games at home. And in their last 23 games against Western Conference opponents, the Under is 16-4-3. 25* NHL Central Division Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (1) and the St. Louis Blues (2).

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

Detroit (10-8) has won two straight games after their 13-4 win at Minnesota on Sunday. The Tigers may have a depleted lineup right now due to a handful of injuries — but they have also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. Detroit has also played 9 of their last 13 games Over the Total at home. They send out Jordan Zimmermann who is 1-1 with a 5.94 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP this season. The right-hander saw a big dig in his velocity rate last season which may have coincided with a neck injury that sidelined him for most of last season. In 16 2/3 innings of work have resulted in just 10 Ks which is not a good sign regarding him getting back to the form he had with the Nationals before coming over to the American League. Zimmermann also had a rough 7.00 ERA along with a 1.52 WHIP and .305 opponent’s batting average when at home last season. The Over is 7-1-1 in Detroit’s last 9 home games with Zimmermann on the mound. Lastly, the Mariners have played 4 of their last 5 games on the road Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB American League Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Seattle Mariners (971) and the Detroit Tigers (972) listing both starting pitchers Felix Hernandez and Jordan Zimmermann. Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Atlanta (44-41) has now played 14 of their last 18 games Under the Total against Southeast Division opponents despite Game Three finishing above the 211 Total. Moving forward, the Hawks have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. Atlanta has also still played 10 of their last 11 home games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. Expect the Hawks to not shoot nearly as well tonight considering that their best field goal percentage in their previous three games was just a 43.6% mark. Lastly, Atlanta has played 15 of their last 21 games Under the Total in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Together, these team trends produce our specific 46-12 combined angle for this situation. 25* NBA Southeast Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Washington Wizards (519) and the Atlanta Hawks (520). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Washington Nationals (963) and the New York Mets (964) listing both starting pitchers Max Scherzer and Zack Wheeler. Washington (12-5) has won six straight games after their 3-1 win over the Mets yesterday. The Nationals have then played 12 of their last 14 games Over the Total against an opponent that failed to score more than two runs in their last game. The Over is also 8-2-1 in Washington’s last 11 games after allowing two runs or less in their last game. And in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home, the Nationals have played 10 of these games Over the Total. They send out Scherzer who is 2-1 with a 1.37 ERA and an 0.86 WHIP this season. The right-hander was very tough at home last year where he had a 2.56 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .193. However, those numbers rose to a 3.28 ERA along with 1.00 WHIP and .203 opponent’s batting average when on the road. Washington has played 6 of their last 8 road games Over the Total with Scherzer facing a team with a losing record. Furthermore, the Over us 3-0-1 in the Mets’ last 4 games against right-handed starting pitchers.

New York (8-10) has lost seven of their last eight games during which they have scored only 23 combined runs. But the Mets have seen the Over go 8-3-3 in their last 14 games after a loss. The Over is also 5-0-1 in New York’s last 6 games after scoring two runs or less in their last game. Furthermore, the Over is 6-1-2 in the Mets’ last 9 games at home. They counter with Zack Wheeler who is 1-1 with a 5.52 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP this season. The right-hander has missed the last two seasons of baseball as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Back in 2014, he was not as effective at home in Citi Field where he had a 4.30 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .255 as compared to his 3.09 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and .231 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Mets have played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total with Wheeler pitching at home. Together, these team trends produce our specific 65-13-7 combined angle for this situation. 25* MLB Sunday Night ESPN Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Washington Nationals (963) and the New York Mets (964) listing both starting pitchers Max Scherzer and Zack Wheeler.

At 8:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Montreal Canadiens (51) and the New York Rangers (52). Montreal (49-29-9) finds themselves on the brink of elimination with their 3-2 loss in overtime to the Rangers on Thursday. The Under is then 9-3-5 in the Canadiens’ last 17 games after scoring two goals or less. The Montreal offense has also been hit with a tough injury as Andrew Shah will be out for tonight’s game after suffering an upper body injury in overtime on Thursday. The Canadiens will be facing a very hot goaltender in Henrik Lundqvist who has a sizzling .944 save percentage in this series. Now Montreal goes on the road to Madison Square Garden — and the Under is 15-3-3 in their last 21 games on the road. The Under is also 8-1-3 in the Canadiens’ last 12 road games against teams with a winning record at home. Lastly, the Under is 19-6-6 in Montreal’s last 31 games against Eastern Conference opponents.

New York (51-31-8) has failed to convert on any of their fourteen Power Plays in this series. The Canadiens’ Carey Price has been just as effective as Lundqvist as he has allowed only ten goals in this series just like the Rangers have allowed. The Under is now 6-1-1 in New York’s last 8 games against Eastern Conference opponents. The Rangers have also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total at home against teams with a winning record on the road. Lastly, in the last 32 games between these two teams in Madison Square Garden, the Under is 19-7-6. 25* NHL 1st Round Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Montreal Canadiens (51) and the New York Rangers (52). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 9:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (713) and the Memphis Grizzlies (714). San Antonio (63-21) seized a 2-0 lead in this series on Monday with their 96-82 win over the Grizzlies as a 10.5-point favorite. The Spurs have then played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total when playing with two days of rest. San Antonio has also played 4 of their last 5 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home.

Memphis (43-41) should get to the free throw line more tonight after head coach Dave Fizdale called out the referees for being too one-sided with their calls in Game Two. As it is, the Grizzlies have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total when playing with two days of rest. The Over is also 8-3-1 in their last 12 home games. Without the services of Tony Allen who is out with a leg injury, this Memphis team lacks a defender on the wing who can slow down Kawhi Leonard who has completely had his way on offense in this series. Lastly, because the Grizzlies average 26 shot attempts from behind the arc, the Over is supported by an empirical angle that has been 69% effective over the last five seasons. In games played in April with the Total set in the 180-189.5 point range, when the home team averages at least 18 shots from the 3-point line, these games finished Over the Total in 57 of the last 83 situations where these conditions applied. 10* NBA San Antonio-Memphis TNT O/U Special Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (713) and the Memphis Grizzlies (714). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Columbus (50-28-6) has seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a victory. The Under is also 8-1-1 in the Bluejackets’ last 10 road games —and this includes playing 5 of their last 6 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice. Look for goalie Sergei Bobrovksy who has a rough 3.61 Goals-Against-Average along with an .891 save percentage in this series. Remember, he entered the postseason as the favorite to win the Vezina Trophy after securing a .933 save percentage in the regular season. And despite the high-scoring affair on Tuesday, the Under remains 7-3-2 in Columbus’ last 12 games against Metropolitan Division opponents. 25* NHL 1st Round Metropolitan Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Columbus Bluejackets (3) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (4). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Milwaukee (43-40) has now won three of their last four games — and the Under is 11-5-1 in their last 17 games after a straight-up win. The Bucks have also played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a point spread win — and they have played 5 straight games Under the Total after a win by at least ten points. Furthermore, the Under is 5-0-1 in Milwaukee’s last 6 games on the road — and the Under is 18-7-1 in the Bucks’ last 26 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. Lastly, in the last 6 meetings between these two teams in Toronto, the game finished Under the Total 5 times. 25* NBA 1st Round Eastern Conference Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Bucks (525) and the Toronto Raptors (526). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 9:35 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies (519) and the San Antonio Spurs (520). San Antonio (62-21) trailed by 13 points in the first quarter on Saturday — but this team stepped up their level of play to go on a 19-0 run to close out the 3rd quarter and begin the 4th quarter to pull away for an easy 111-82 victory. The Spurs have then played 16 of their last 20 home games Over the Total after a win by at least 20 points. San Antonio has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. With the Grizzlies missing their defensive spark plug in Tony Allen, the Spurs were able to shoot 53.2% from the floor. Allen remains out in this series with his leg injury so San Antonio should continue to have their way on offense. They have now played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against Western Conference opponents.

Memphis (43-40) shot just 39.2% in this loss despite center Marc Gasol having his way with 32 points. Expect a better game from point guard Mike Conley who scored only 13 points after going scoreless after the 8 minute mark of the 2nd quarter. The Grizzlies still have the reputation of being a grinding defensive team — but with Gasol now shooting more 3s than ever and Zack Randolph coming off the bench, that is not necessarily the identity of David Fiddle’s team. Memphis shot just 39.3% in their last regular season game against the Mavericks in a 100-93 loss to Dallas. The Grizzlies have played their last two games Over the Total with both those games finishing with a combined score of 193. Yet this Total has moved down from opening at 190 to now being listed in the 188.5 point range. Not only have the Grizzlies have played 19 of their last 26 road games Over the Total after a game that finished above the number but they have also played 10 of their last 12 road games after playing at least two straight games Over the Total. Lastly, Memphis has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against Western Conference opponents. 25* NBA Southwest Division Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies (519) and the San Antonio Spurs (520). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Calgary (45-34-4) have not won a game in Anaheim since 2006. Elliott communicated before this series started that his team needed to win one of the first two games of this series to have a chance to upset the five-time defending Pacific Division Champions in this series. Expect the Flames to play very aggressively and with desperation in this game — and that should help achieve our Over one way or another. The Over is 1-0-3 in Calgary’s last 4 games after a game where they failed to score more than two goals. This Flames team simply cannot rely too much on Elliott who now has a 3.59 Goals-Against-Average in his last four playoff games. And in his last nine games against the Ducks, Elliott has a 3.59 GAA. Furthermore, Elliott was saddled with a 2.85 GAA along with an .897 save percentage on the road during the regular season — so we are fully expecting for Anaheim to score at least three or four goals in this contest. Moving forward, the Over is 5-2-3 in the Ducks’ last 19 games against teams with a winning record. Lastly, because Calgary has lost four straight games to the Ducks, the Over is supported by an empirical angle that has been 82% effective over the last five seasons. In games with the Total is set at 5 or less, when the road team comes off a loss on the road and his now playing with at least triple revenge versus their opponent, these games finished Under the Total in 36 of the last 44 situations where these conditions applied. 25* NHL 1st Round Pacific Division Playoff Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Calgary Flames (85) and the Anaheim Ducks (86). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (13) and the Chicago Blackhawks (14). Nashville (41-29-12) entered this season with question marks regarding their offense with a big drop-off in forward scoring depth after Filip Forsberg and James Neal. Viktor Arviddson stepped up by scoring 31 goals and adding 30 assists to give Peter Laviolette’s team more punch. But Ardividdson plays on the same line with Forsberg and center Ryan Johansen which affords Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville to counter with his master defenseman Duncan Keith against that potent forward line. With the suspect depth of this Predators’ forward group further challenged with both Colin Wilson and Calle Jarnkrok questionable with injuries, this Nashville team cannot get into a high scoring affair with the Blackhawks. Expect the Predators to lean heavily on their outstanding blue line which features four elite defenders led by P.K. Subbing and Roman Josi. The team needs their goalie Pekka Rinne to step up as well in these playoffs — and they can be encouraged by his 1.98 Goals-Against-Average and .932 save percentage over the last thirteen games of the regular season. The Under is 3-1-3 in Nashville’s last 7 games in the Western Conference Quarterfinals. The Under is also 3-1-1 in the Predators’ last 5 games on the road. And in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record, the Under is 5-1-1. Furthermore, Nashville will be looking to avenge a 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks at home back on March 4th — and they have played 17 of their last 24 games Under the Total when avenging a loss by at least two goals to their opponent.

Chicago (50-23-9) has played a decisive 40 of their last 62 games at home Under the Total with the Total set at 5.5. And while the Predators raised their scoring average this season to 2.90 Goals-Per-Game after averaging 2.73 Goals-Per-Game last season, the Blackhawks have played 27 of their last 42 games Under the Total against teams that score at least 2.85 Goals-Per-Game. This team has been outstanding since the beginning of the new year as they are 27-12-4 since January 1st. But there are some vulnerabilities. Chicago is second to last by winning only 47.5% of their face-offs and they are 24th in the league with a Power Play Kill Unit that is successful just 77.4% of the time. The Predators strategy will likely be puck possession, controlled play while looking for great scoring chances and drawing penalties. There are depth issues with the Blackhawks after their first two lines of great forwards. And it is tough to beat their goalie Corey Crawford at home where he enjoys a 2.24 GAA and a .928 save percentage. Lastly, the Under is 4-1-1 in Chicago’s last 6 games when playing with at least three days of rest. 25* NHL 1st Round Central Division Total of the Year with the Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (13) and the Chicago Blackhawks (14). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Philadelphia (28-52) has lost six straight games with their 90-82 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday as a 7.5-point underdog. The 76ers shot just 35.1% from the field against the Bucks with injuries severely impacting the ability of this team to shoot the basketball into the net. Six season-ending injuries help explain why Philly has shot only 35.7% from the field over the last two games while making just 23.4% of their shots from behind the arc. Offense was already an issue for this team when considering that they will be finishing last in the NBA in Offensive Efficiency for the fourth straight season. The 76ers have failed to cover the point spread in five of their last six games — and they have played 28 of their last 41 games Under the Total after failing to cover the point spread in four of their last five games. Philadelphia stays at home where they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total. The 76ers have also seen the Under go 10-3-1 in the last 14 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. Lastly, while Philly allows 107.9 PPG, the Pacers have played 14 of their last 18 games Under the Total in the second half of the season against teams that allow at least 106 PPG. 25* NBA Eastern Conference Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Indiana Pacers (701) and the Philadelphia 76ers (702). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Montreal (46-25-7) has won the Atlantic Division so they are preparing themselves for the intensity of playoff hockey that starts next Wednesday. They look to bounce-back from a 2-1 loss in Buffalo on Wednesday — and the Under is 12-3-4 in their last 19 games after allowing two goals or less in their last game. The Canadiens have some injuries on their blue line with most notably Shea Weber questionable with a lower body injury. But this team still has Carey Price between the pipes — and he has been stellar at home ice with a 2.03 GAA along with a .931 save percentage this season. Even undermanned with their defensive corps, Claude Julien will want his team to emphasize defensive tactics in preparation for the playoffs at the expense of taking chances on offense. That is the luxury a team has with an elite goalie like Price — and Julien knows this with his time with the Bruins where he won a Stanley Cup with Tuuka Rask in goal. Furthermore, the Under is 7-2-2 in Montreal’s last 11 games at home. And in their last 7 home games against teams with a losing record on the road, the Under is 5-1-1. Lastly, the Under is 5-1-1 in the Canadiens’ last 7 games against Atlantic Division foes. 25* NHL Atlantic Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Tampa Bay Lightning (51) and the Montreal Canadiens (52). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Colorado (21-54-2) is playing out the string after their 5-2 loss in Minnesota on Sunday. The Avalanche have then played 5 straight games Over the Total after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. They turn to Calvin Pickard between the pipes tonight after he allowed four goals on just sixteen shots in that game. That subpar effort came after a weak month of March where he had a 2.90 GAA along with a .905 save percentage. On home ice, Pickard has just a 2.71 GAA and a .911 save percentage. Colorado has played 4 of their last 5 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. The Avalanche has also played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% overall. Furthermore, Colorado has now played 6 straight games Over the Total in the month of April. And in their last 9 games against Central Division opponents, the Avalanche has played 7 of these games Over the Total. Lastly, in the last 5 meetings between these two teams in Colorado, the Over is 3-1-1. 25* NHL Central Division Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Blackhawks (19) and the Colorado  Avalanche (20).

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

Philadelphia (28-49) has lost three in a row with their 113-105 loss at Toronto as an 11.5-point underdog on Sunday. The 76ers have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Philadelphia has also played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. This team continues to be ravaged with injuries with now Jahlil Okafor and Robert Covington joining Jerryd Bayless, Joel Embiid and, of course, their number-one draft choice Ben Simmons out the year with season-sending injuries. This attrition helps explain why this team is making only 43.5% of their shots over their last five games. Now the 76ers return home where they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total. And in their last 12 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road, the Under is 9-2-1. Lastly, in the last 13 encounters between these two teams, the Under is 10-1-2. 25* NBA Atlantic Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Brooklyn Nets (701) and the Philadelphia 76ers (702). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Arizona (28-41-7) scored a season-high six goals on Friday in their upset 6-3 win over the Capitals. The Under is then 4-1-1 in their last 6 games after a victory as well as 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a game where they found the back of the net at least five times. This team does look to get Mike Smith back between the pipes tonight after he has battled an illness. The veteran enjoyed his second best month of the season in March where he posted a 2.91 GAA along with a .911 save percentage. This team is a defense-first club behind their rock on the blue line in Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Scoring is usually the problem for this young team has they had only scored one goal in four straight games before their offensive explosion versus the Capitals. Now the Coyotes go on the road where the Under is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games. Furthermore, not only is the Under 39-19-11 in their last 69 games against fellow Pacific Division opponents but this team has also played 4 straight games Under the Total against Western Conference foes. 25* NHL Pacific Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Arizona Coyotes (21) and the Los Angeles Kings (22). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

North Carolina (31-7) held Kentucky to just a 41.5% from the field in their 75-73 nail biter on Sunday. The Under is then 10-2-1 in their last 13 games after a straight-up win. The Tar Heels are struggling with their 3-point shooting as they have made only 30% of their shots from behind the arc in their last three games in this tournament after their opening victory over Texas Southern. North Carolina is surviving by crashing the boards. In these last three games, the Tar Heels have out-rebounded their opponents by +10, +12 and +13 boards. Not only has North Carolina then played 13 of their last 17 games Under the Total after out-rebounding their last two opponents by at least 10 boards but they have played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after out-rebounding their last three opponents by at least ten boards. And while the Ducks only commit 16 personal fouls per game, the Tar Heels have played 12 of their last 14 games Under the Total against teams that commit 17 or fewer personal fouls per game. 25* CBB Final Four Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Oregon Ducks (813) and the North Carolina Tar Heels (814). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 10:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (521) and the Golden State Warriors (522). Houston (51-24) looks to bounce-back from their 117-101 loss in Portland last night as a 1-point favorite. The Rockets have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. This is a depleted team with Ryan Anderson out with an ankle and Nene resting which more pressure on James Harden who will play but is nursing a wrist injury. As it is, the Under is 7-1-1 in Houston’s last 9 games on the road. And in their last 6 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court, the Under is 5-0-1 for the Rockets.

Golden State (61-14) has won nine straight contests with their 110-98 win in San Antonio on Wednesday as a 4.5-point underdog. The Warriors have then played 24 of their last 32 games Under the Total after a win by at least 10 points. Golden State has also played 38 of their last 51 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. The Warriors return home for this game where they have played 7 straight games Under the Total. And while the Over is tempting between these two fast-paced teams that like to score, Golden State has played 18 of their last 22 games in the second-half of the season against teams that allow at least 106 PPG — and Houston allows 109.0 PPG in the Mike D’Antoni system. 25* NBA Friday ESPN Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (521) and the Golden State Warriors (522). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

TCU (23-15) reached the Finals of the NIT with their 68-53 win over Central Florida as a 2.5-point favorite on Tuesday. The Horned Frogs also got it done led by their defense as they stifled the Knights after falling behind by a 29-19 score — and they held UCF to just a 33.3% shooting mark. But this TCU team shot only 43.3% from the field themselves. First-year head coach Jamie Dixon has had this team sharing the basketball all season as they led the Big 12 in assisted field goal percentage rate. The Horned Frogs had 20 assists against Central Florida after assisting on 23 baskets in the NIT Quarterfinals against Richmond. TCU has then played 28 of their last 40 games Under the Total after assisting on at least 19 baskets in two straight games. The Horned Frogs have also played 22 of their last 32 games Under the Total against teams outside the Big 12. And in their last 10 games played on a neutral court as a favorite, TCU has played 8 of these games Under the Total. 25* CBB NIT Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (711) and the TCU Horned Frogs (712). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

San Antonio (57-16) has won five in a row after they demolished the reeling Cavaliers on Monday by a 103-74 score. The Under is then 3-0-1 in the Spurs’ last 4 games after a straight-up win — and they have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a double-digit victory. Furthermore, San Antonio has covered the point spread in 15 of their last 20 games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Furthermore, the Under is 6-1-1 in the Spurs’ last 8 home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. San Antonio does average 106.2 PPG — but the Warriors have played 21 of their last 28 games Under the Total against teams that score at least 106 PPG. And in the last 6 meetings between these two teams in San Antonio, the game finished Under the Total all 6 times. These two teams played back on Saturday, March 11th with both teams benching their star players to the dismay of Disney/ABC/ESPN. Who knows how these respective coaches will handle this rematch — especially with the Warriors playing without rest. That last contest resulted in a 107-85 win for the Spurs. Expect another lower scoring game. 25* NBA ESPN Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (515) and the San Antonio Spurs (516). Best of luck for us — Frank.

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

Atlanta (37-36) has lost seven straight games themselves with their 107-92 loss to Brooklyn as a 6.5-point favorite on Sunday. This team is lost right now on the offensive end of the court with both Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore sidelined with injuries. Over their last six games, this team has failed to shoot better than 39.5% in three of those games while not topping 44.1% in all six contests. The solution for Mike Budenholzer’s team is to win games through their defense that leans heavily on Dwight Howard and Dennis Schroder. As it is, the Hawks have played played 12 of their last 14 games Under the Total after a loss by at least 15 points. The Under is also 16-5-1 in their last 22 games after a double-digit loss — and that includes playing 4 straight Unders after a double-digit loss at home. Atlanta stays at home where they have played 8 straight home games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. And in their last 28 games as a favorite laying 3.5-9.5 points, the Hawks have played 21 of these games Under the Total. This Suns team does struggle on defense as they allow 113.0 PPG — but Atlanta has played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total against teams who allow at least 110 PPG. And in the last 5 meetings between these two teams in Atlanta, the game finished Under the Total 4 times. 25* NBA Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Phoenix Suns (767) and the Atlanta Hawks (768).

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

Xavier (24-13) pulled off their third straight upset in this tournament with their 73-71 win over Arizona on Thursday as an 8-point underdog. The Under is then 5-1-1 in the Musketeers’ last 7 gams after a straight-up win — and the Under is 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a point spread victory. Xavier is also playing outstanding defense. Their three NCAA Tournament opponents are shooting just 24% from behind the 3-point line. Moving forward, the Musketeers have played 13 of their last 19 games Under the Total with the number set in the 140-149.5 point range. The Under is also 7-1-1 in their last 9 games as an underdog.

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

Kentucky (31-5) held Wichita State to just 38.7% shooting to advance to the Sweet 16 with their 65-62 victory on Sunday. The Wildcats have then played 12 of their last 14 games Under the Total following a straight-up win. And with that game falling well below the 148.5 point total, Kentucky has now played 4 straight games Under the Total in the NCAA Tournament. Additionally, the Wildcats have played 6 straight games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 4 games against teams outside the SEC, Kentucky has played all 4 of these games Under the Total. These two teams played a fast-paced scoring fest back on December 3rd which UCLA won by a 97-92 score. John Calipari had his team playing at a blistering pace early on the season — that game had 83 respective possessions. Over their last eight games, the Wildcats have played a game with more than 72 possessions just once in a 74-possession game against Northern Kentucky. Calipari no longer wants to run with teams — he is happy to slow things down and lean heavily on his team that plays outstanding defense. The Wildcats rank 8th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. 25* CBB Sweet 16 Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the the UCLA Bruins (875) and the Kentucky Wildcats (876).

The Fighting Illini have then played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a point spread win. This team has also played 8 straight games Under the Total after a double-digit win on their home court.

Illinois has also played 5 of their last 6 road games Under the Total as the favorite — and they have played 4 of their last 5 road games Under the Total as the favorite when laying less than 7 points.

Central Florida (23-11) enters this game coming off their 63-62 upset win at Illinois State as a 5.5-point underdog on Monday.

At 8:00 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the George Washington Colonials (629) and the Illinois-Chicago Flames (630).

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

Cincinnati (30-5) has won five of their last six games with their 75-61 win over Kansas State as a 3-point favorite. The Bearcats shot a sizzling 62.8% from the field which was their best offensive performance in their last 24 games. With that game finishing above the 130.5 point total, Cincy has played three straight games Over the Total. But this team has then played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total after playing at least three straight Overs. Mike Cronin’s team ranks 11th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency.

The Under is 6-2-1 in the Bearcats last 9 games as an underdog getting less than 7 points. And in their last 4 games as an underdog on a neutral court, the Under is 3-0-1. 25* CBB NCAA Tournament 2nd Round Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Cincinnati Bearcats (731) and the UCLA Bruins (732).

At 4:30 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Rhode Island Rams (843) and the Creighton Bluejays (844). Rhode Island (24-9) has won eight straight games to win the Atlantic-10 Tournament with their 70-63 win over VCU on Sunday. The formula for success for this team now when facing the offensive juggernaut which is this Bluejays’ team is to slow the pace of the game, force bad shots on defense and crash the boards on offense — just like how they slowed down the Rams in their last contest. While that game finished just above the 132.5 point total, Rhode Island has still played 19 of their last 27 games Under the Total when played on a neutral court. These Rams have also played 20 of their last 29 games Under the Total with the number set in the 140-149.5 point range. Rhode Island has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against teams outside the A-10. Head coach Dan Hurley will try to make this game a slog.

In this game between two explosive offenses that has produced the highest Total in Super Bowl history, it is tempting to expect this game to be a shootout that will pay off Over tickets. However, don’t be surprised if the pressure of the Super Bowl along with the extra week of preparation slows the momentum of both offenses. This second week of practice and preparation should also help both defenses — and remember that both Bill Belichick and Dan Quinn are defensive wizards. Furthermore, the Under is supported by a strong historical angle that has been 71% effective since 1983. The Falcons covered the point spread in both their NFC Playoff games — and in games with the Total set at least at 49.5, teams with a winning percentage who have covered the point spread in two straight games now facing a team with a winning record have then played 29 of the last 41 situations where these conditions applied.

The Under is then 8-1-1 in the Gauchos’ last 10 games after a straight-up loss — and the Under is 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a point spread setback.

Cal-Davis stays on the road where they have played 5 of their last 6 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on their home court. The Aggies thrive on the defensive end of the court where this team leads the Big West with an Adjusted Defensive Efficiency of 91.2 along with an opponent’s eFG of 43.8% which is 2nd best in the conference. That helps explain why Cal-Davis is favored in this contest. Not only have the Aggies played 15 of their last 18 games Under the Total when not laying more than 6.5 points but they have also played six straight of these games Under the Total when these games are on the road. 25* CBB Big West Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Cal-Davis Aggies (693) and the UC-Santa Barbara Gauchos (694) .

Furthermore, the Lakers have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Over their last two contests, the absence of D’Angelo Russell is impacting this team on the offensive end of the court as they are shooting only 38.9% from the field and a mere 28% from behind the arc. Additionally, in the last 14 games in the second-half of the season against teams with a winning percentage in the 60-70% range, the Lakers have played 12 of these games Under the Total.

Utah (29-18) has lost two straight games themselves with their 103-93 loss at Denver on Tuesday as a 2-point underdog. The Jazz have then played 5 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. Utah has also played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their game. This team is also struggling to shoot the basketball with Gordon Hayward hitting just 29.6% of his shots and George Hill shooting 28.6% of his shots over their last two games. Moving forward, the Jazz have played 4 of their last 5 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. Lastly, in the last 18 games between these two teams in Utah, the Under is 11-5-2. Together, these team trends produce our specific 62-17-2 combined angle for this situation. 25* NBA Thursday TNT Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Lakers (707) and the Utah Jazz (708). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 6:40 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers (313) and the New England Patriots (314). Pittsburgh (13-5) has won nine straight games with their 18-16 win at Kansas City last week as a 2.5-point underdog. Big Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers’ prolific offense may get most of the attention but the Pittsburgh defense is underrated. They held the Chiefs to just 227 yards on their home field last Sunday night. For the season, they are holding their opponents to only 19.7 PPG. On the road, they limit their opponents to just 311.2 total YPG and they are allowing a minuscule 248.5 total YPG when playing on field turf — and that explains why the Steelers have played 20 of their last 27 games Under the Total on the road and 5 straight Unders playing on turf. Additionally, not only has Pittsburgh played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a point spread win but the Under is 20-6-1 in their last 27 games after a straight-up win. Furthermore, the Under is 4-0-1 in the Steelers’ last 5 games in the playoffs.

New England (15-2) has won eight games in a row with their 34-16 win over Houston last week. The Patriots generated 377 yards in that game — but they have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after gaining at least 350 yards in their last game. New England owns the best scoring defense in the NFL by holding teams to just 15.6 PPG. Over their last three games, the Patriots are allowing only 11.0 PPG along with a mere 268.0 total YPG. Furthermore, New England has played 5 of their last 6 games in the AFC Championship Game Under the Total in the Bill Belichick/Tom Brady era. Together, these team trends produce our specific 68-17-2 combined angle for this situation. 25* AFC Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers (313) and the New England Patriots (314). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 3:30 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Lakers (833) and the Dallas Mavericks (834). Los Angeles (16-31) has lost five straight games after their 108-96 win over Indiana on Friday as a 3.5-point underdog. The Lakers have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a points spread victory. Additionally, Los Angeles has played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total against teams with a losing record. Now the Lakers go back on the road where they have played 5 of their last 6 road games against teams with a losing record at home.

Dallas (14-29) has lost two straight games themselves with their 112-107 loss to Utah on Friday as a 5.5-point underdog. The Mavericks have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Dallas has also played 10 of their last 11 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. Furthermore, the Mavericks have played 4 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Additionally, Dallas played 4 of their last 5 home games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. Together, these team trends produce our specific 43-7 combined angle for this situation. Lastly, because the Lakers are looking to avenge a 101-89 loss to Dallas back on December 29th, the Under is supported by an empirical angle that has been 76% effective over the last five seasons. In games with the total set in the 200-209.5 point range, when a team comes off an upset victory as a home underdog now looking to avenge a home loss versus their opponent, these games finished Under the Total in 29 of the last 38 situations where these conditions applied. 25* NBA Western Conference Total of the Month with the Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Lakers (833) and the Dallas Mavericks (834). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 3:05 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Green Bay Packers (311) and the Atlanta Falcons (312). Green Bay has won eight games in a row — with the last six contests finishing Over the Total — with their 34-31 win in Dallas last week. With Aaron Rodgers on fire and the Packers’ dealing with a banged up secondary — and with this being a rematch of a 33-32 shootout in Atlanta won by the Falcons back on October 30th — it is very tempting to take the Over. That’s why the number is in the high-50s and approaching 60. But the pressure of these championship contests tend to produce Unders. Green Bay has covered the point spread in four straight games — but in games involving a team with a winning percentage in the 60-75% range who have covered the point spread in at least two straight games now facing a team with a winning record, these games finished Under the Total in 29 of the last 39 situations (74%) where these conditions applied. Furthermore, while the Packers have generated at least 406 yards in their last three games, they have then played 13 of their last 18 games Under the Total after gaining at least 400 yards in each of their last two games.

Atlanta (12-5) has won five straight with their 36-20 triumph over Seattle last week. The Falcons generated 422 yards of offense in that victory. But Atlanta has then played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after gaining at least 350 yards in their last game. The Falcons have also played 7 of their last 9 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. Admittedly, the Over is 9-1-1 in Atlanta’s last eleven games — but that just fuels our contrarian Under play that also informs the Green Bay side of the equation above. 25* NFL A-List O/U Special with Under the Total in the game between the Green Bay Packers (311) and the Atlanta Falcons (312). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 4:30 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Wisconsin Badgers (601) and the Minnesota Golden Gophers (602). Wisconsin (15-3) has won two straight games with their 68-64 win over Michigan on Tuesday as a 10.5-pont favorite. The Badgers have then played 21 of their last 29 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Wisconsin has also played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. And while that game barely finished above the closing 131.5-point Total, the Badgers have still played 11 of their last 14 games Under the Total against Big Ten opponents. Moving forward, Wisconsin has played 7 of their last 10 road games Under the Total as a favorite of 7 points or less.

Minnesota (15-4) haThe Golden Gophers have then played 6 of the last 8 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. Minnesota has also played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Defense was on display in that game for the Golden Gophers as they held the Nittany Lions to just a 30.4% shooting percentage. But Minnesota managed to shoot only 37.7% themselves from the field in the loss. Now the Golden Gophers return home where they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total as an underdog of under 7 points. 25* CBB Big Ten Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Wisconsin Badgers (601) and the Minnesota Golden Gophers (602). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 9:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (9) and the Edmonton Oilers (10). Edmonton (25-15-4) has won four in a row with their 4-3 win over Florida in overtime on Wednesday. The Oilers have then played 10 of their last 12 home games Under the Total after a game that needed overtime to resolve. The Under is also 24-9-1 in Edmonton’s last 34 games after a straight-up win. Moving forward, the Under is a decisive 33-15-3 in the Oilers’ last 51 games on their home ice — and the Under is 15-5-2 in their last 22 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. And in their last 16 home games with the Total set at 5.5, Edmonton has played 13 of these games Under the Total. Additionally, the Oilers have seen the Under go 6-1-1 in their last 8 games against teams with a losing record.

Nashville (21-17-4) has won four of their last five games with their 4-3 win at Calgary last night. The Predators have then played 6 straight games Under the Total off a victory. Backup goalie Juuse Saros was between the pipes last night which means that Pekke Rinne should be back on the ice tonight. Nashville has played 12 of their last 17 road games Under the Total in January. The Under is also 5-2-2 in the Predators’ last 9 games against fellow Western Conference opponents. Lastly, the Under is 5-2-3 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams in Edmonton. 25* NHL Pre-All Star Break Western Conference Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (9) and the Edmonton Oilers (10). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:20 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers (305) and the Kansas City Chiefs (306). Pittsburgh (12-5) looks to build off their 30-12 win over Miami last week in the Wild Card round as a 11-point favorite. The Steelers have then played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a point spread win — and they have played 6 straight games Under the Total after a victory by at least two touchdowns. Additionally, Pittsburgh has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after allowing less than 15 points in their last game. Now the Steelers go back on the road where they have played 19 of their last 26 games Under the Total after allowing less than 15 points in their last game. And in their last 26 games against teams with a winning record, the Under is 19-6-1.

Kansas City (12-4) has won five of their last six games with their 37-27 win at San Diego to close out the regular season. The Chiefs did allow 398 yards in that contest — but they have then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after allowing at least 350 yards in their last game. The Under is also 6-2-1 in Kansas City’s last 9 games after scoring at least 30 points in their last game. Now the Chiefs’ return home where they have played 38 of their last 54 games Under the Total — and this includes four of their last five home games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. KC has also played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total overall against teams with a winning record. Lastly, the Chiefs have played 11 of their last 16 games Under the Total in the month of January. 25* AFC Divisional Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers (305) and the Kansas City Chiefs (306). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 4:35 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Seattle Seahawks (301) and the Atlanta Falcons (302). Atlanta (11-5) has scored at least 28 points in six straight games which has helped them lead in the NFL with a 33.7 PPG scoring average. But the Falcons do give up their share of points and yards as well — they allow 27.7 PPG along with 371.5 total YPG when playing at home. That helps explain why Atlanta has played 8 straight games Over the Total at home. The Over is also 10-1-1 in the Falcons’ last 12 games against NFC opponents. Atlanta comes off a 38-32 win over New Orleans to end the regular season as a 7.5-point favorite. The Over is then 3-0-1 in the Falcons’ last 4 games after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 straight games Over the Total after a point spread loss. Additionally, Atlanta has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least 30 points in their last game.

Seattle (11-5-1) has won two straight games after their 26-6 win over Detroit last week in the Divisional round of the playoffs. The Seahawks generated 387 yards of offense in that game — and they have then played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after generating at least 350 yards in their last game. Seattle has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after holding their last opponent to less than 15 points in their last game. Moving forward, the Seahawks have played 11 of their last 16 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. And in their last 9 road games in the playoffs, Seattle has played 6 of these games Over the Total. Together, these team trends produce our specific 57-12-2 combined angle for this situation. 25* NFC Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Seattle Seahawks (301) and the Atlanta Falcons (302). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:00 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Clemson Tigers (151) and the Alabama Crimson Tide (152) in the National Championship Game. These two teams played a scoring fest last season in Alabama’s 45-40 victory with that Total set in closing in the 50.5 point range. With both defenses coming off outstanding efforts — and with both coaches having a full calendar year to reconsider and make adjustments to their defensive game plans last year January 11th — it might be tempting to take the Under. However, major bowl games in the month of January between two major 1-A non- conference opponents have finished Over the Total in 58 of the last 86 situations where these conditions applied. Clemson (13-1) seems to be clicking on all cylinders on offense after generating 470 yards against an outstanding Ohio State defense in their 31-0 victory. Remember that Deshaun Watson passed for 478 yards last year while leading the Tigers to scoring 40 points against another elite Crimson Tide defense last year. And while Nick Saban has had a full year to fine-tune his potential defensive game plan, that has been the same old story for his defenses facing mobile quarterbacks for years going back even before Johnny Manziel. Moving forward, the Tigers have played 8 of their last 9 road games Over the Total after winning at least four straight. And Clemson has played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record.

Alabama (14-0) has changed offensive coordinators to Steve Sarkisian after sacking Lane Kiffin last Monday. I think this can only jumpstart this offense that was stale against the Huskies in their 24-7 victory. Sarkisian will have the advantage of surprise early in this game. But the underrated aspect of the Crimson Tide is their ability to generate offense on special teams and on defense. Alabama’s defensive touchdown last week against Washington was their eleventh TD on that side of the ball this season. Furthermore, it is telling that Saban-coached teams have played 10 of their 12 bowl games Over the Total. The Crimson Tide has also played 17 of their last 21 games Over the Total when playing on a neutral field as the favorite. And while the Alabama defense looked outstanding against Washington, they have then played 22 of their last 30 road games following a game that finished Under the Total. 25* CFB A-List O/U Special with Over the Total in the National Championship Game between the Clemson Tigers (151) and the Alabama Crimson Tide (152). Best of luck for us —

At 8:15 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Detroit Lions (103) and the Seattle Seahawks (104). Detroit (9-7) has lost three straight games with their 31-24 loss to Green Bay last week. The Lions did surrender 448 yards in that contest — but they have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after allowing at least 350 yards in their last game. Detroit did pass for 336 yards in that contest — but they have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after passing for at least 250 yards in their last game. The lack of a credible rushing attack with Theo Riddick the latest casualty in their backfield leaves this team one-dimensional on offense. Now the Lions go out west on a short week where they have played 19 of their last 26 games Under the Total including ten of their last twelve road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home.

Seattle (10-5-1) is playing outstanding defense as of late as they have held their last three opponents to just 268.7 total YPG. The Seahawks do allow their opponents to complete a whopping 67.5% of their passes — but the Lions have played 10 of their last 12 road games Under the Total against teams that complete at least 61% of their passes. Lastly, the Under is supported by an empirical angle that has been 70% effective over the last five seasons. Detroit and Seattle score 21.6 and 22.1 PPG respectively — and after eight games into the season in games between two teams that score 18-23 PPG, these games finished Under the Total in 31 of the last 42 situations (70%) where these conditions applied. And when one of these teams comes off a game where they allowed at least 30 points, this Under angle tightens to a crisp 31 of 42 (74%) clip over that span. 25* NFL Wildcard Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Detroit Lions (103) and the Seattle Seahawks (104). Best of luck for us — Frank.
