08-10-20 | Sky v. Storm OVER 167.5 | 71-89 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
Seattle has jumped into the top spot in the WNBA with a 6-1 record. They have won four straight games, scoring at least 80 points in three of those. The Chicago Sky are in third place in the standings with a 5-2 record. The Sky are one of the highest scoring teams in the league with a 88.7 ppg average. They also give up a lot of points, allowing 85.9 ppg. Highest total on the board here tonight in this game and rightfully so. Both teams can score and score a lot. I'm taking the OVER. |

08-10-20 | Diamondbacks v. Rockies -125 | Top | 12-8 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
The Colorado Rockies have the top spot in the NL West with a 11-4 record. The Rocks did lose on Sunday, but have won seven of their last 10 overall. They have a run differential of +31, which is second in the NL to the Dodgers +41. The Rockies will start Jon Gray today. Gray is 0-1 in his three starts with a respectable 3.30 ERA and 0.979 WHIP. Gray has not allowed more than three earned runs in ay of his starts so he'll keep the team in the contest. Arizona has struggled, they are last in the NL West with a 6-10 mark and have the 2nd worst run differential in the NL with a -29. Robbie Ray will start today for the D'backs. Ray is 1-2 in his three starts with a horrible 9.45 ERA and 1.949 WHIP. Ray is coming off a five inning performance vs the Astros where he gave up six runs and six hits including three home runs. Going to be a tough night for the D'backs and Rays against this very good Rockies club. Play Colorado. |

08-10-20 | Bayer Leverkusen v. Inter Milan +112 | 1-2 | Win | 112 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
UEFA Europa League action here on Monday has Bayern Leverkusen vs Inter Milan. Inter Milan comes into this game having won their round of 16 game over Getafe, 2-0. Milan finished second in the Series A league, just one point behind Champion Juventus. Milan extended their win streak to four and unbeaten streak to nine. Bayern plays in their first European quarterfinals since 2002. Bayern finished fifth in the Bundesliga league. Even though this game is being played on German soil, no fans pretty much negates that advantage. I'm taking Inter Milan here today. |
|||||||
08-09-20 | Indians -145 v. White Sox | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Indians rebounded nicely on Saturday as I had them to win and they did just that over the Sox, 7-1. The pitching has been great for the Tribe and continues to be so, holding each of their last eight opponents to three runs or fewer. In fact, they had back-to-back shutouts of the Reds and then held the Sox to just one run on Saturday. Shane Bieber starts today for the Tribe with a nifty 3-0 record in his three starts with a 0.83 ERA and 0.692 WHIP. Bieber has 27 KO's in his three starts with just three walks. Lucas Giolito toes the rubber today for the Sox. Giolito is 1-1 in his three starts with a 5.17 ERA and 1.404 Whip. The Indians pitching has been so good it's difficult to pass on them here with this pitcher. Play Cleveland. |
|||||||
08-09-20 | 76ers v. Blazers -3 | Top | 121-124 | Push | 0 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
Philadelphia has won three straight games and sits in the 6th place in the East standings. The Sixers are just a half game from fourth place Miami with the Pacers in between. Portland still on the outside looking in as the Blazers are 9th right now, 1 1/2 games back of Memphis. That makes every game a must game for the Blazers at this point. Both sides have key injuries. The Sixers are going to be without guard Ben Simmons (16.7 ppg) who has a knee injury. The Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (16.3 ppg) is questionable with a hip injury. Portland laying a few points here. I'll have to side with the Blazers in this one as they need the win badly. Play Portland. |
|||||||
08-09-20 | Rockies -1.5 v. Mariners | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 26 m | Show | |
Colorado Rockies are in 1st place in the NL West at 10-3. They have won two straight games and eight of their last 10. Today, the Rockies will start German Marquez. Marquez is 2-1 in his three starts with a nifty 1.89 ERA and 0.895 WHIP. Marquez has struck out 23 and walked just five thus far. The Seattle Mariners are last in the AL West with a 5-10 record. They have lost two straight to the Rockies and six of their overall last 10 games. Justus Sheffield will start today looking for his first win after two starts. Sheffield has a lofty 9.39 ERA and 1.695 WHIP. Big edge all around here to the Rocks. I'm going to lay the Run Line with Colorado in what looks to be a blowout win. Play Colorado -1.5 Runs. |
|||||||
08-09-20 | Yankees v. Rays -126 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 1 h 26 m | Show | |
The NY Yankees are 9-4 this season and three games ahead of 2nd place Baltimore. However, the Yanks have lost two of their three games to the Rays thus far. James Paxton starts for the Yankees. Paxton has really struggled in his two starts, going just four total innings and allowing eight runs. That's a 13.50 ERA and 3.250 WHIP for Paxton. The Rays will counter with Charlie Morton. Morton is 1-1 in his three starts with a 5.52 ERA and 1.363 ERA. While Morton hasn't been great, he has been light years ahead of Paxton. Take the Rays. |
|||||||
08-08-20 | Diamondbacks v. Padres UNDER 7.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Excellent pitching matchup here tonight between the Diamondbacks and Padres. Arizona will start Merrill Kelly who is 1-1 in his two starts. Kelly has a 2.63 ERA and 0.951 WHIP. He held the hard hitting Dodgers to just three runs over six innings and Texas to just one run over 7 2/3 innings. Kelly also has excellent control, walking just one while striking out 11. The Padres will counter with Chris Paddack. Paddack is 2-0 in his three starts with a 2.65 ERA and 0.941 ERA. Also with excellent control, Paddack has allowed just one walk over his 17 innings with 15 KO's. Look for these two pitchers to keep this one low scoring until the late innings. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
08-08-20 | Bucks v. Mavs +5.5 | 132-136 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
The Milwaukee Bucks have struggled since entering the Bubble losing to the Nets and Rockets. They did rebound last time out with a big win over the Heat, 130-116. Still, not much for the Bucks to play for as they have the East top seed locked-up. The Dallas Mavericks have clinched a playoff spot in the West, but they could improve their lot and move up from their 7th position. The Mavs have just one win in their last four games and that was over the Kings, 114-110. Who wants to play today is the question. My feeling is the Mavericks need this game just a bit more. Play Dallas. |
|||||||
08-08-20 | Suns -2 v. Heat | 119-112 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
Miami Heat has clinched a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference with the number 4 spot. The Heat are 3 games back of the Celtics so not likely to overtake Boston. However, they are just one game ahead of Indiana and Philly for that 5 and 6 spots. Meanwhile, Phoenix still has an outside shot to make the top 8 playoff spots in the West. The Suns are 2 1/2 games back of the Grizzlies with the Blazers, Spurs and Pelicans also in contention. The Suns have been playing well and look to win today's contest if they have any hope of making the playoffs. Take Phoenix. |
|||||||
08-08-20 | Sky -2.5 v. Sun | 100-93 | Win | 100 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
The Chicago Sky are in 4th place right now in the standings after starting 4-2 on the season. They are coming off a loss to the Mercury though. They will face a Connecticut Sun team that is dead last in the WNBA with a 1-5 record. The Sun did finally get a win though last time out over the Dallas Wings, 91-68. Don't expect any repeat of that performance here today as the Sky are just too good and too big a scoring team for this Connecticut club. Play Chicago Sky. |
|||||||
08-08-20 | Astros v. A's -135 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 10 m | Show | |
The Oakland A's are in first place in the AL West, now 3 1/2 games ahead of second place Houston. The A's are playing very well having won seven straight games including last night's extra inning win over the Astros, 3-2. The pitching has been excellent with just 45 runs allowed over 14 games. Frankie Montas will start today for the A's with a 1-1 record in his three starts. Montas has a 2.25 ERA and 1.313 WHIP. He has yet to allow more than two earned runs in any of his three starts. The Astros have now lost three straight games and six of their last 10. They will look to Framber Valdez here today. Valdez lost his only start this season, a 4 1/3 inning outing to the Dodgers. Valdez pitched well, allowing just two earned runs. Still, tough matchup here today for the Astros up against this red-hot A's team. I'll lay the price with the Athletics. |
|||||||
08-08-20 | Indians -120 v. White Sox | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 10 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Indians look to rebound from their loss last night to the White Sox,0-2. Th pitching has been great for the Tribe, holding each of their last seven opponents to three runs or fewer. In fact, they had back-to-back shutouts of the Reds before last night's loss. Zach Plesac may be 0-1 in his two starts, but he's pitched well with a 1.80 ERA and 0.533 WHIP. He's allowed just seven total hits and three earned runs over his 15 innings with 17 KO's and just one BB. The White Sox are playing well, having won seven of their last 10 games. They will go with Matt Foster today who has yet to start a game this year. I'll take the visitor here today. I know what I have with an excellent pitcher in Plesac while the Sox pitcher has yet to show us anything. Play Cleveland. |
|||||||
08-08-20 | Indians v. White Sox UNDER 9 | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 9 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Indians look to rebound from their loss last night to the White Sox,0-2. Th pitching has been great for the Tribe, holding each of their last seven opponents to three runs or fewer. In fact, they had back-to-back shutouts of the Reds before last night's loss. Zach Plesac may be 0-1 in his two starts, but he's pitched well with a 1.80 ERA and 0.533 WHIP. He's allowed just seven total hits and three earned runs over his 15 innings with 17 KO's and just one BB. The White Sox are playing well, having won seven of their last 10 games. They will go with Matt Foster today who has yet to start a game this year. I like the Indians and White Sox to go under here as no one has scored much on this Indians team. Play UNDER |
|||||||
08-08-20 | Clippers v. Blazers -2.5 | Top | 122-117 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 35 m | Show |
Clippers sitting firmly in 2nd place in the West with no hope of catching the Lakers at this point. Therefore, today expect them to be resting Kawhi Leonard, their best player. Some teams already putting it in cruise control as they await the playoffs and the Clippers might be one of those teams. Portland is one game back of the Grizzlies for that final playoff spot so this is a must win for them. I look for a big effort today out of the Blazers. Your Bubble Game of the Month is on the Blazers. |
|||||||
08-07-20 | Astros v. A's -121 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
The Houston Astros have just a 6-6 record and trail first place A's by 2 1/2 games. The Astros have lost two straight, but have a +9 run differential this season. The A's are 9-4 and atop the division. They have won six straight games and have a +15 run differential. The Astros will start Zack Greinke. Greinke has struggled thus far in his two starts with a 5.00 ERA. The A's will go with Chris Bassitt. Bassitt has two starts and is 1-0 with a 0.93 ERA and 0.931 WHIP. Bassitt is pitching great and I look for that to continue here tonight. Play Oakland. |
|||||||
08-07-20 | Indians v. White Sox UNDER 8.5 | 0-2 | Win | 103 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Cleveland is 8-6 to start the season. The Indians have won three straight games and have allowed just 30 total runs over 14 games. They face a White Sox team that sits right behind them in the division with a 7-6 record. The Sox have lost two straight and have a +2 run differential. The Tribe will start Aaron Civale today. Civale has two starts and is 1-1 with a 3.75 ERA and 1.083 WHIP. He's gone six innings in both starts and has 18 total KO's and just one walk. The Sox will have Dylan Cease toe the rubber. Cease is 1-1 in his two starts but has a 6.48 ERA. Cease had a bad first outing but rebounded last time with six innings and just two runs allowed to the Royals. I like this game to be low scoring here tonight. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
08-07-20 | Blue Jays v. Red Sox UNDER 10.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
Blue Jays and Red Sox holding down the bottom two positions in the AL East right now, which is strange for both these teams. The Jays are 4-6 after having lost their last game. They have a -10 run differential. The Red Sox are 4-8 and have lost seven of their last 10 games. They also have a -10 run differential. Toronto will start Tanner Roark today who is 1-0 in his only start. Roark went five innings vs the Nationals and allowed three hits and one run. The Sox will counter with Ryan Weber who is 0-2 in his two starts with a 11.57 ERA and 2.429 WHIP. I'm a bit iffy on Weber, but I expect Roark to pitch another fine outing. Let's hope for a better performance tonight out of Weber and with that I'll take the UNDER with these two struggling teams. Play UNDER |
|||||||
08-07-20 | Blue Jays +102 v. Red Sox | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Blue Jays and Red Sox holding down the bottom two positions in the AL East right now, which is strange for both these teams. The Jays are 4-6 after having lost their last game. They have a -10 run differential. The Red Sox are 4-8 and have lost seven of their last 10 games. They also have a -10 run differential. Toronto will start Tanner Roark today who is 1-0 in his only start. Roark went five innings vs the Nationals and allowed three hits and one run. The Sox will counter with Ryan Weber who is 0-2 in his two starts with a 11.57 ERA and 2.429 WHIP. Jays have the much better starter going here today. Both teams struggling, but we can see why when Boston has to start the likes of Weber. Play Toronto. |
|||||||
08-07-20 | Thunder -4.5 v. Grizzlies | 92-121 | Loss | -101 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
The Memphis Grizzlies are barely holding onto that 8th and final spot in the playoffs with four games left. They have not done well either, dropping four straight and now their schedule gets tougher. The Blazers are just a half game back and the Suns and Spurs 1 1/2 games back. The Thunder have clinched a playoff spot but still can better their position. The Thunder are 2-1 in their three games since the restart. The way these clubs are playing the Grizzlies look like they will lose their playoff spot and that might happen here tonight. Play the Thunder. |
|||||||
08-07-20 | Real Madrid v. Manchester City OVER 3 | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
Champions League action here on Friday has Manchester City hosting Real Madrid. Look for Madrid to put the pressure on City here as they need at least two scores to hope to advance. That will mean taking more chances which also will translate into counter attacks by City. Manchester City has also looked pretty flat against the better teams this year. For me, I like this game over as Madrid has to push the pace. Play OVER. |
|||||||
08-07-20 | Jazz v. Spurs -8 | 111-119 | Push | 0 | 2 h 31 m | Show | |
The San Antonio Spurs playing with some urgency as they are on the outside of the playoff bubble looking in. The Spurs are in 11th place, 2-games back of the Grizzlies. Utah has clinched a playoff spot, though they can still finish as high as 2nd and as low as 6th place. The Jazz are just 4-9-1 ATS their last 14 games dating before the break. The Jazz are also 2-5 in their last seven meetings with the Spurs. More urgency with the Spurs here as they can ill afford a loss. I'll take the points with San Antonio. |
|||||||
08-06-20 | Cubs -1.5 v. Royals | 2-13 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
Cubs are off to a great start tied for the best record in baseball at 10-2. They have won six straight and nine of 10 games. They have a +18 run differential and start a very good pitcher today in Tyler Chatwood. Chatwood is 2-0 in his two starts with a great 0.71 ERA and 0.789 WHIP. He's allowed just one run over his 12 2/3 innings of work. The Royals started the season with some nice wins, but since then it's been all downhill. The Royals are 3-10 and have lost six straight and eight of the last 10. They will turn to first time starter Brad Keller today. For me, I like the Cubs and how they are playing, especially with Chatwood. I'm going to lay the Run-Line here today with the Cubs. |
|||||||
08-06-20 | Reds v. Indians UNDER 7.5 | 0-13 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Indians are 7-6 here to start the season. The Indians have been relying on their pitching staff thus far, allowing just 30 runs over 13 games (best in AL). They will start Carlos Carrasco today. Carrasco is 1-1 in his two starts with a 3.75 ERA and 1.083 WHIP. Carrasco has pitched well thus far. The Reds are 5-7 to start the season and have lost two straight games. They have allowed 51 runs over their 12 games. The Reds will start their ACE Luis Castillo today. Castillo is 0-1 in his two starts with a 4.50 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Castillo had a great first start, allowing one run over six innings. However, he got roughed up in game two with five earned runs over six innings to the Tigers. Indians have a great pitching staff and the Reds have their ACE going. I like the UNDER here today. |
|||||||
08-06-20 | Pacers v. Suns +2.5 | 99-114 | Win | 100 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
The Phoenix Suns chasing that 8th playoff spot in the West. The Suns are 2 1/2 games back of the Grizzlies with the Pelicans, Spurs and Blazers still ahead of them. The Pacers have locked-up a playoff spot in the East and right now sit 5th. They can improve to as good as third with the Celtics just three-games ahead of them. However, they could fall to 6th as the Sixers are just one game back. More desperation here for the Suns. Suns are 3-0 since restart and have big wins over the Clippers and Mavericks. I like the way the Suns are playing and the Pacers have not as much to play for. Take Suns. |
|||||||
08-06-20 | Twins -1.5 v. Pirates | 5-6 | Loss | -123 | 3 h 21 m | Show | |
Twins are tied for the best record since the start of the season at 10-2. They have scored 63 runs and allowed just 30 runs for the 2nd best run differential in baseball. Kenta Maeda came over in the offseason from the Dodgers and he has already paid dividends. Maeda is 2-0 in his two starts with a 1.64 ERA and 0.636 WHIP. Maeda has looked great and today he faces a Pittsburgh team that is struggling. The Bucs are 2-10 and have the fewest wins in MLB so far. They have scored 39 runs and allowed 59 runs for a -20 run differential. The Bucs will be starting JT Brubaker who will be making his first start of the season. I know what I have with the Twins and Maeda. I'm going to lay the 1.5 runs here with the Twins. |
|||||||
08-06-20 | Pelicans -4.5 v. Kings | 125-140 | Loss | -106 | 2 h 29 m | Show | |
Every game is very important for the Pelicans as they can still make the playoffs. New Orleans is two games back of 8th place Memphis and that means that can't take any game for granted. The Kings are just one game back of the Pelicans so they aren't out of the playoff picture either. However, Sacramento has five teams they would have to jump over to get to that 8th spot. The Kings have lost three straight games and have allowed 114, 132 and 129 in those losses. They play a Pelicans team here early on Thursday that got it's first win of the restart with a 109-99 win over that 8th place Memphis team. Pelicans need this game more than Kings. I'm taking New Orleans here today. |
|||||||
08-05-20 | Raptors v. Magic UNDER 223 | 109-99 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Toronto Raptors are in 2nd place in the Eastern Confernece. They have won six straight games dating back to pre-Covid break. Toronto coming off a win over the Jazz, 101-92 in a low scoring UNDER game. The Magic are coming off a win over the Grizzlies, 120-115. They have gone over in 13 straight games dating back before the break. This really comes down to the Raptors defense vs the Magic offense. I like the Raptors to control the pace of this game and slow the Magic down. These clubs have been very good under plays when they meet, evidenced by their 3-9 O/U record their last 12 meetings. That's what I like here tonight. I'm taking UNDER. |
|||||||
08-05-20 | Blue Jays v. Braves OVER 9 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
Toronto off to a 3-5 start and has lost three straight games. The Jays had a layoff of four games against the Phillies due to concerns over the Covid virus at Philadelphia. The Jays returned last night and were promptly beaten badly by the Braves 1-10. Hyun-Jim Ryu came over from the Dodgers in the offseason. Ryu has two starts and is 0-1 with a 8.00 ERA and 1.889 WHIP. He'll face the first place Atlanta Braves who are 8-4 and have 69 runs scored this year (tops in baseball). Sean Newcomb will start for the Braves. Newcomb has two starts with a 8.22 ERA. Neither pitcher all that good here and the Braves crushing the ball. They both should get runs here today. Play the OVER |
|||||||
08-04-20 | Rockets v. Blazers +4 | 102-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
The Portland Trailblazers currently sit outside the playoff bubble while inside the Disney bubble. They hope to get back inside both bubbles as they trail the Memphis Grizzlies by two games for that final playoff spot. The Houston Rocket sit fourth in the West, but just 1 1/2 games separate them and 6th place Oklahoma City. The Blazer are coming off a loss to the Celtics, 124-128 though they played very well in that game. That makes them 1-1 since the return. The Rockets have won both their games since the restart, including a big win over the Bucks last game, 120-116. Might be a bit of a letdown here tonight after that huge win. I'm going to take the points with the Blazers here tonight. Play Portland. |
|||||||
08-04-20 | Giants v. Rockies -1.5 | 2-5 | Win | 112 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
What do you know, early in this MLB season the Rockies find themselves sitting atop the NL West with a 7-2 record. They have won three straight games and have scored 50 runs and allowed just 20 runs. It's crowded right now atop the division with both San Diego and the Dodgers also having seven wins, though each of those teams have at least four losses. The Giants are 5-6 and fourth in the division, losing two straight games. The Giants pitching has been hit hard, allowing 66 runs over 11 games, that's 6.0 runs per game allowed. That is also worst in the NL. Giants start Kevin Gausman today who went just 4 1/3 innings in his first start against the Padres, allowing six hits and three runs. Rockies start German Marquez today who is 1-1 in his two starts with a 1.54 ERA. Marquez has allowed just two runs in his 11 2/3 innings with three walks and 14 KO's. I'm going to lay the 1 1/2 runs here with the Rockies in what I see as a blowout win. |
|||||||
08-04-20 | Royals v. Cubs UNDER 8 | 4-5 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
The Chicago Cubs are sitting first in the NL Central division with a 8-2 record. They have won six of their seven home games and have won four in a row overall. The Royals started fast but have cooled since. KC is now last in the AL Central with a 3-8 record, losing four straight games. The offense has been sputtering with just 40 runs over 11 games. The Royals will start Brady Singer today. Singer has two starts but no record. He has gone 10 innings with just four total runs. Kyle Hendricks will counter for the Cubs. Hendricks went nine innings in his first start vs the Brewers, allowing just three hits and no runs. He was hit hard in start two, allowing seven hits and six runs over 4 1/3 innings to the Reds. Despite that bad start, the Royals will be just the medicine for him here today. I'm taking the UNDER. |
|||||||
08-04-20 | Indians v. Reds UNDER 8 | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
Battle for Ohio continues here on Tuesday as the Reds host the Indians. The Reds are 5-5 to start the season while the Indians are 5-6. Cleveland ran it's losing streak to four games with the loss on Monday to the Reds, 2-3. The scoring drought continues with just two runs in that game. Indians have lost four straight games in which they scored a total of four runs. In fact, their last six games have easily gone under the total. The Reds will start Tyler Mahle today. Mahle went four innings in his first start, giving up six hits and two runs to the Cubs. Right now pitching is feasting on this anemic Indians hitting. I had the under yesterday and that's what I'm doing here today too. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
08-03-20 | Dodgers v. Padres UNDER 8 | 4-5 | Loss | -106 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
Padres are 6-4 to start their season, having lost two straight games. They return home where they started out 3-1 vs the Diamondbacks. The Padres have scored the most runs in the NL so far with 59. They will face a stingy Dodgers' pitching staff that has allowed only 24 runs thus far and is 7-3 on the season. The Dodgers opened up with two wins over then Giants, then dropped their next to the San Francisco. Since then they are 5-1. Walker Buehler starts for LA after going just 3 2/3 innings in his first start at Houston. He allowed two earned runs in that no decision. San Diego will start Chris Paddack who is 1-0 in two starts. He's allowed two total runs over 11 innings of work with just one walk and 10 KO's. I look for a low scoring game here tonight as Paddock has been excellent and the Dodgers overall staff is one of the better ones. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
08-03-20 | Dodgers v. Padres +133 | 4-5 | Win | 133 | 13 h 36 m | Show | |
Padres are 6-4 to start their season, having lost two straight games. They return home where they started out 3-1 vs the Diamondbacks. The Padres have scored the most runs in the NL so far with 59. They will face a stingy Dodgers' pitching staff that has allowed only 24 runs thus far and is 7-3 on the season. The Dodgers opened up with two wins over then Giants, then dropped their next to the San Francisco. Since then they are 5-1. Walker Buehler starts for LA after going just 3 2/3 innings in his first start at Houston. He allowed two earned runs in that no decision. San Diego will start Chris Paddack who is 1-0 in two starts. He's allowed two total runs over 11 innings of work with just one walk and 10 KO's. The way Paddack has pitched I like getting the home team here as a little dog. Paddack should keep the Padres in the game. Take the dog here, play San Diego. |

08-03-20 | Lakers v. Jazz +6.5 | 116-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
The Lakers have the top seed in the West with Utah coming in at fourth. The Lakers struggled in their last game, a blowout loss to the Raptors. The Raptors strong defense stiffeled Anthony Davis, scoring only 14 points with LeBron James coming in at just 20. The Jazz were beat bad in their first game in the bubble, losing to the Thunder 110-94. The Jazz are a 6 1/2 point dog here tonight. I like the Jazz as both teams have looked less than impressive thus far. The points look good in this one. Play Utah. |
|||||||
08-03-20 | Spurs +7 v. 76ers | 130-132 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
San Antonio Spurs looking to grab one of those last playoff spots sit just outside right now at 9th in the West, 2-games back of the Memphis Grizzlies. The Spurs coming off a big win over these Grizzlies on Sunday, 108-106. That win moved them a bit closer to the Grizzlies for that last playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Sixers sit 6th right now in the East, well ahead of 7th place Orlando. In fact, the Sixers have locked-up a playoff spot. They are coming off a loss to the Pacers, 121-127. I'm not all that impressed with how the Sixers are playing these days. Winning is tough enough but covering a spread like tonight against a team looking for wins is going to be tough. I'm taking the dog in this one. Play San Antonio. |

I'm not all that impressed with how the Sixers are playing these days. I don't see San Antonio wanting to get into a running and transition game here tonight. That being said, I'm looking at this game to go UNDER the total. |
|||||||
08-03-20 | Indians v. Reds UNDER 8.5 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show |
Battle for Ohio here on Monday has the Reds hosting the Indians. The Reds are 4-5 to start the season while the Indians are 5-5. Cleveland has lost three straight games in which they scored a total of two runs against the Twins. In fact, their last five games have easily gone under the total. The Reds will turn to Sonny Gray. Gray has been excellent thus far, going 2-0 with a 0.71 ERA and allowing just one earned run, four hits, three walks and 20 KO's. The Reds will be without power hitter Joey Votto who has been put on the IR with Covid-19. The Indians will counter with Zach Plesac. Plesac has one start and he went a solid eight innings, allowed three total hits and no runs but still got no decision. Both these pitchers look spot on and with the recent under play by the Indians, I'm sticking with that here on Monday. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
08-03-20 | Mets v. Braves UNDER 7.5 | 7-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Braves off to an excellent start at 7-3 on the season. They have won five straight games after taking the last two games vs the Rays and the first three of this four game set with the Mets. After a wild game one in which the Braves won 11-10, they have since held the Mets to just one run over the last two games. The Mets are last in the NL East at 3-7. They have been hit hard by injuries to their starting staff. Today though they get their Ace on this hill in Jacob deGrom. deGrom has no record in his two starts. He's gone 11 innings thus far with just four hits and two runs allowed with 12 KO's. Mike Soroka will counter for the Braves. Soroka also has no record in his two starts. Soroka's gone 11 1/3 innings with eight hits and two total earned runs. Both starters are excellent and I like this game to go the way the last two have, under. Play UNDER |
|||||||
08-03-20 | Stars v. Golden Knights UNDER 5.5 | 3-5 | Loss | -140 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
Golden Knights looked very strong in their one tune-up game before today. They beat the Arizona Coyotes, 4-1 behind the stellar play of Andre-Marc Fluery. But this team has two top flight goalies and I would be surprised to see either starting here tonight. The Knights will have to rely on their strong defense and goaltending because they are hurting in a couple of the star forwards. Left Wing Max Pacioretty is out with an injury and RW Mark Stone has a lower body injury, but should play. The Dallas Stars are not known for their offensive play. They are a good defensive team with good goal tending. I like this game to go UNDER today. |
|||||||
08-03-20 | Capitals v. Lightning -140 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 20 m | Show | |
Both teams return to action here today after nearly five months off. Tampa trailed Boston by eight points when the season was paused. They routed the Panthers in their one tune-up game, 5-0. The Lightning boast a Vezina Trophy holder in Andrei Vasilevskiy. The Capitals also won their tune-up game over Carolina, 3-2. Ovechkin collected two goals and an assist in that win. I give the edge here in goaltending to the Lightning and that's what I look for in these kind of games. Play Tampa Bay. |
|||||||
08-03-20 | Nuggets v. Thunder -6.5 | 121-113 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 18 m | Show | |
The Okc Thunder enter tonight's contest seeded fifth in the Western Conference with the Denver Nuggets seeded third. However, the Thunder trail the Nuggets by just 1 1/2 games, which makes tonight's contest even bigger. Have to toss out the Nuggets crushing loss to the Heat, 105-125 as they missed three starters for that game. They will have all three back for today. The Thunder have had little trouble thus far, beating the Jazz 110-94 and leading from wire to wire. Right now I see the Thunder as the team having it most together both on offense and defense. With that, I'm taking the Thunder here today. |
|||||||
08-02-20 | Rangers v. Giants -104 | 9-5 | Loss | -104 | 4 h 5 m | Show | |
Rangers are in last right now in the AL West with a 2-5 record. More concerning is the lack of run production. The Rangers have just 18 runs in seven games, last by a long shot in the A.L. Kolby Allard will make his first start here today. Allard came over to Texas from the Braves. Allard replaces Corey Kluber. Allard has 12 big league appearances with a 6.08 ERA. The Giants are 5-4 to start their season and have won two straight. Jeff Smardzija makes his second start of the season. He went four innings in his first start against the Padres, allowing four hits and five runs. I'm not very high on the Rangers and now with Kluber gone and Allard in, I'll take the Giants here on Sunday. Play Giants. |
|||||||
08-02-20 | Blazers v. Celtics -4 | Top | 124-128 | Push | 0 | 4 h 42 m | Show |
Celtics are 3rd in the East, though they did lose their opener of this restart a few nights ago to the Milwaukee Bucks, 112-119. They had the spread covered most of the game between falling back at the end. And no shame in a good game vs the NBA's top team in the Bucks. Now they play a Portland team who had to go to OT to beam Memphis on Friday, 140-135. Celtics still looks like one of the favorites and I'll lay this short 4-point line on Sunday. Play Celtics. |
|||||||
08-02-20 | Verona +1 v. Genoa | 0-3 | Loss | -125 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
Last game for both of these teams as Series A comes to an end here on Sunday. Genoa still has something to play for as they hope to secure a spot in Series A and not rely on a loss by Lecce. Hellas Verona coming off a shutout win over SPAL 3-0. They are now 4 wins, 5 loss and 8 draws in their last 17 Series A matches. Genoa coming off a 0-5 drubbing at the hands of Sassuolo. Relegation is a possibility for Genoa so why put that into the hands of another game. Easier said then done I'm affraid. Genoa has been in terrible form and while they are in a must win, Verona is not and I don't like to put a bad team in a must win. Take Hellas Verona. |
|||||||
08-02-20 | Indians v. Twins UNDER 9.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 34 m | Show | |
Minnesota off to a good start at 6-2 on the season. They have won two straight games and scored 43 runs while allowing just 23. The Indians are 5-4 and have lost two straight while scoring 25 runs and allowing 22. This series has been low scoring with no more than five runs in any of the three games. Aaron Civale starts for the Tribe. Civale went six innings in his first start against the White Sox, allowing just two runs and seven hits. Civale also struck out nine and walked just one. The Twins will start Tyler Clippard. Homer Bailey was scheduled to start but he has been pushed back to Monday for extra rest. Clippard has been a veteran reliever and has been in four innings from the pen this year with one run allowed and three hits. Both teams have excellent pitching staffs and I expect this one to stay true to form. Play UNDER |
|||||||
08-02-20 | Mets v. Braves -120 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 42 m | Show | |
Braves lost their opener and since then they are 4-0. Conversely, the Mets won their opener and now have lost four straight. Mets have suffered some big injuries to their starting rotation and that is going to hurt what was once one of the best starting rotations in baseball. Mets have to start David Peterson here today. Peterson did do well in his first start, going 5 2/3 innings vs the Red Sox and allowing just two runs. Braves will start Kyle Wright who is 0-1. Wright went just 2 2/3 innings with five earned runs. I still like the home team here today as they are on a winning streak and looking much better than the visitor. Take the Braves. |
|||||||
08-01-20 | Jets +107 v. Flames | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 25 h 34 m | Show | |
Both these teams are fairly even and their record before the break proved that. The line here is basically a pick so the oddsmakers agree still on this concept. The Jets have had some good success the last few years. They lost to Stanley Cup Champion St Louis last year, but were tied 2-2 after four games. The Jets will be without center Bryan Little who is still recovering from surgery. The Flames haven't been as successful in recent years. They will be without defenseman Travis Hamonic who opted out of the post-break season. Big edge here to the Jets between the pipes. Connor Hellebuyck is having an excellent season and is a finalist for the Vezina Trophy. Flames unsure who to go with, Rittich or Talbot. Jets have five forwards each with at least 50 points. I like goaltending in the playoffs and that's basically what these teams have to look at each game as being. Take the Jets on Saturday. |
|||||||
08-01-20 | Dodgers v. Diamondbacks UNDER 9.5 | 11-2 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
I hit the under in this game on Friday night, despite some eighth run explosiveness from the Diamondbacks. Dodgers led 3-1 in the 8th before the D'backs rallied for four runs and the eventual win. Not usual for the Dodgers bullpen to give up leads in the late innings. Julio Urias had a solid first outing, going five innings allowing five hits and one run in a no decision to the Giants. Luke Weaver didn't do well in his first start, going just 3 1/3 innings and allowing seven hits and six runs. Dodgers have gone under in six straight now. Arizona is 1-6 O/U in their last seven games. I like the UNDER here tonight. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
08-01-20 | Sparks v. Storm -5.5 | 75-81 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
I had a big winner on the Storm back on opening night, in fact I'm 3-0 so far with my WNBA plays. Tonight, I'm taking the Storm again. The Storm average 86 ppg and are shooting over 47% from the floor. The Sparks are 2-1 on the season and looking to build on that record. Seattle also 2-1 on the season and looks to rebound from their first loss of the year to the Mystics, 89-71. I have the Storm listed as one of my top three teams to win the WNBA this year. I'll lay the points here tonight with the Storm. Play Seattle. |
|||||||
08-01-20 | Indians v. Twins UNDER 8.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Indians shut down the Minnesota bats on Friday, 2-0. Both teams right at the top of the AL Central now. Both teams also doing well pitching as the Twins have allowed just 23 runs in seven games and the Indians have allowed 19 runs. The Twins have the biggest run differential in the AL at +17. Carlos Carraso is 1-0 for the Indians, going six innings and allowing two runs in his win over the Royals. Kenta Maeda, acquired from the Dodgers, also won his opener. Maeda went five innings and allowed two runs to the White Sox. Both these pitchers are good and both teams have not allowed many runs. I'm taking UNDER. |
|||||||
08-01-20 | 76ers v. Pacers +6 | 121-127 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
Sixers and Pacers hit the court for their respective return to action tonight. Sixers didn't look all that great pre-Covid break. They will have to improve here in the second half if they hope to go anywhere in the playoffs. This is a big game for both since they are both tied for 5th in the East. Indiana has won two of the three meetings with the Sixers before the break and that gives them an edge in any tie with the Sixers. The Sixers will have the edge in size in this game while the Pacers will have the edge in speed. If the Pacers can keep somewhat close on the boards, I look for them to cover here with their better transition game. Take the points with the Pacers. |
|||||||
08-01-20 | Blackhawks v. Oilers -147 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -147 | 17 h 5 m | Show |
Qualifying action here has the Blackhawks and Oilers matching up. Edmonton comes in with the top rated power play in the league at 29.5%. They also kill penalties very well, ranked 2nd in the league. The Oilers won their tuneup with the Flames, 4-1, scoring on the power play early. The Hawks had a good run before the break, winning five of their last seven games. Still, too many pluses on the side of the Oilers here in this matchup. My top play of the day is on the Oilers. |
|||||||
08-01-20 | Roma v. Juventus | 3-1 | Loss | -126 | 16 h 16 m | Show | |
Juventus has locked-up another Series A title. Now they hope to continue their dominance at home where they have won 16 games this year and two draws with no losses. Juve has arguably the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. However, he's behind Ciro Immobile in goals 31-35. My issue with Juve here is that they are in cruise control since winning the title. They have won just twice in their last seven games. They are coming off a loss to Cagliari, 0-2. Still, this team hasn't lost on home soil in 39 straight Series A matches. Roma is stuck in 5th place and that means no Champion's league spot since they trail 4th place Lazio by 11 points with just one game to play. Roma has played well, winning six of their last seven with a draw. Nothing on the line here for either team, but Juve would like to keep that home winning streak. I'll take the home team here on Saturday. Play Juventus |

08-01-20 | Rangers v. Hurricanes UNDER 6 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 5 m | Show | |
NHL begins is short road to the playoffs as the Rangers and Hurricanes hook-up here on Saturday. I am looking for lower scoring games early on in this restart. Hockey is a very physical game and these players won't have their complete game legs under them early on. I see a bit more defensive contests. The Rangers have dominated the Canes in their history, winning 41 of their last 55 meetings. The dog has also won the last six meetings between these teams. I expect this to be a lower scoring contest. Play the UNDER. |

07-31-20 | Dodgers v. Diamondbacks UNDER 9.5 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
Dodgers off to a nice 5-2 start to the season. Their pitching staff has been all the hype that has been laid upon it thus far. But the hitting has really come alive with the addition of Mookie Betts to the leadoff spot. The Dodgers have 37 runs over seven games and have allowed just 17 runs. The D'Backs are just 2-5 and have scored just 20 runs over their seven games while allowing 35. The Dodgers should have little trouble keeping the weak hitting D'backs down in this one. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
07-31-20 | Astros v. Angels OVER 9 | 9-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
The Astros are just 3-3 to start the season, but they are tied for first as no team in the AL West has more than three wins. They have lost Verlander and it looks like some teams (Dodgers) are doing some head hunting at the same time. The Astros have 33 runs scored, tied for 2nd best in their division. They are the only team in the West that has a plus run differential (+8). The LA Angels are just 2-5 to start the season and have allowed 37 runs over seven games. The pitching has been fair while the hitting has been above average. I'm taking this game over as neither pitching staff is wowing me at this point. Play OVER. |
|||||||
07-31-20 | Mets v. Braves OVER 10.5 | 10-11 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
Mets have suffered season ending injuries to their starting pitching and that will hurt this team that was once starter rich. The Mets are 3-4 thus far and allowing 36 runs (9 more then they have scored) so we see already that pitching is an issue. The Braves are 4-3 and have scored 35 runs in their seven games, which is tops in the NL East. This early I'm looking at the over in this contest as the pitching still looking to catch up to the hitting. Play OVER. |
|||||||
07-31-20 | Red Sox v. Yankees OVER 10.5 | 1-5 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
The rivalry renews here, even in this shortened season. The Yankees have disappointed at this juncture with a 4-1 record. A bit surprised that all the big bats they have on this club have produced just 26 runs over five games, but that's still over a 5 run per game average. The Red Sox are 3-4 and it looks like they sorely miss Mookie Betts in that leadoff spot to produce runs. The Sox have scored 36 runs, but they have allowed 38 runs. Yankees might have a feast on this Red Sox pitching. I'm taking the OVER. |
|||||||
07-31-20 | Celtics v. Bucks OVER 218.5 | 112-119 | Win | 100 | 16 h 48 m | Show | |
The Bucks had the NBA best record by far before the break. Can they pick up where they left off after the long off time? The Bucks also lead the NBA in scoring with a 118.6 ppg average. The Bucks will be without guards Bledsoe and Connaughton who both will miss this game after recovering from Covid. The Celtics have plenty of scoring on their team too with Walker, Tatum, Hayward and Brown. The Celtics have done well as a dog, going 20-8 their last 28 in that role. Two teams that can both score in bunches here. Hoping the rust is off both teams as I'm taking OVER here for my total play. |

The Celtics have plenty of scoring on their team too with Walker, Tatum, Hayward and Brown. The Celtics have done well as a dog, going 20-8 their last 28 in that role. I'm going to take the dog here in this one as I have to see how rusty both teams will be. Take the points with Boston. |

07-30-20 | Jazz v. Pelicans -2.5 | Top | 106-104 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 20 m | Show |
Opening day for the resuming of the NBA season after the Covid break. The teams are all playing from the bubble so the risk of infection might not be the same as the MLB is going through. Good news for the Pelicans is that rookie phenom Zion Williamson cleared his quarantine period and has rejoined the team at practice. The Pelicans looked in fine form when they destroyed the Nets a few days ago, 99-68. Really when Zion plays this Pelicans team wins and with him now cleared to go, I like New Orleans minus the small number. Play Pelicans. |

07-30-20 | Cardiff City v. Fulham -0.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
The English Championship Semi-Finals continue here as Cardiff and Fulham meet again. Fulham won the first leg of this playoff semi with a 2-0 shutout over Cardiff. Cardiff has done well on the road, winning four of the last five. Fulham has done well at home too, third best in the Championship. Fulham has taken the last two meetings at home over Cardiff. Tough spot here for the visitor having to rebound after a home loss to the same team. I don't expect much other income than we saw recently and that's a Fulham shutout again. Take Fulham - 1/2 goal. |
|||||||
07-29-20 | White Sox -113 v. Indians | Top | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
This rivalry was one of the first times Chicago has done so well over Cleveland. The White Sox won last year's series with the Tribe, 11-8, the most win by the Sox over the Indians since 2012. Cleveland starters have gone 2-0 in the restart with a 1.89 ERA. The Indians are 4-1 to start back up here and atop the AL Central. They have allowed just 11 runs and scored 22. Despite their opposite records with the Sox having just one win and the Indians four, I'm taking the visitor here. I had good success earlier with Giolito and I'm sticking with him here on Wednesday. |
|||||||
07-29-20 | Roma -1 v. Torino | 3-2 | Push | 0 | 14 h 57 m | Show | |
Torino coming off a 1-1 draw to the worst team in Series A, SPAL. Roma coming off a win over Fiorentina, 2-1 and now sit fifth in the table. They are battling with Napoli and Milan for that fifth spot in the table. Roma has been in fine form with 5 wins and 1 draw in their last six games. Torino has been very dependent on star player Andrea Belotti to get them goals. Roma shuts down Belotti and they win this one easily. Roma has won 15 of the 24 matches with Torino. Take Roma -1 goal. |
|||||||
07-29-20 | AC Milan -1 v. Sampdoria | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
AC Milan still fighting for a spot in the Europa League so don't expect any letdown today as they play at Sampdoria. Milan are fighting with Napoli and AS Roma for that fifth place in the Series A table. Sampdoria not having a good season as it sits 15th in the table. They have also lost their last two matches while Milan is undefeated in their last five. Take Milan -1 goal here on Wednesday. |
|||||||
07-29-20 | SPAL v. Verona -1 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
20th place SPAL travels to play at 9th place Hellas Verona here on Wednesday. SPAL has won just three of their last 18 away games. Verona got pummeled last time out, losing 1-5 to Lazio. SPAL will be missing a lot of players here with Bonifazi suspended and five others missing due to injury. Neither team is very good, but SPAL has only 20 points out of a possible 108 this year. I'll take the home team in this one. |
|||||||
07-28-20 | Padres v. Giants OVER 8.5 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 58 m | Show |
The Padres took three of four games in their first series with the Diamondbacks. In that series they showed that the bats are much improved this year, scoring 21 runs over the four game series. San Francisco actually split their four game series with the Dodgers, this despite allowing 22 runs and scoring just 10 runs. I like this matchup to go OVER the total here on Tuesday evening. Take the OVER. |
|||||||
07-28-20 | Cardinals v. Twins OVER 10 | 3-6 | Loss | -120 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
The Twins banged out some runs in their series against the White Sox, 27 in all for their three game series in which they took two games. The Twins also allowed 17 runs in those three games. Now they face St Louis team that allowed just 10 runs over their three games. The Cardinals did get 15 runs for a 5.0 average. Still, both teams should get plenty of runs here as that 10.5 totals looks a bit too low to me. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
07-28-20 | Sparks v. Sky OVER 170.5 | 78-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Just one game under their collective belts thus far in this young WNBA season of 22 games, cut short by their bubble after the break. Still, The LA Sparks showed little rust, scoring 99 points in their first game. Meanwhile, the Chicago Sky wasn't a slouch, scoring 88 points in their opening. I look for an over here in this game for Tuesday. Play OVER. |
|||||||
07-28-20 | Mystics -3.5 v. Sun | 94-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
Mystics blew out their competition in game one of their shortened season, a 101-76 win over the Indiana Fever. Meanwhile, the Connecticut Sun lost their opener to the Minnesota Lynx, 68-77. I don't expect the Sun to be able to keep up with the Mystics scoring here tonight. Play Washington Mystics in a blowout win. |
|||||||
07-28-20 | Napoli v. Inter Milan -0.5 | 0-2 | Win | 107 | 17 h 47 m | Show | |
Inter Milan hosting its last game of the summer here on home turf. They face a Napoli team that is coming off a 2-0 win over Sassulo. However, Napoli got quite lucky as four Sassulo goals were overturned via VAR due to offsides. Milan beat Genoa over the weekend 3-0 and have secured a Champion's league return. Napoli has struggled on the road, collecting just four points in their last four Series A road games. Milan sits in second place in the table, just one point ahead of third place Atalanta (who is also in action today). Milan is also undefeated in their last six Series A contests. There should be plenty of goals in this game, but I'm backing the home club here. Play Inter Milan - 1/2 goals. |

Inter Milan hosting its last game of the summer here on home turf. They face a Napoli team that is coming off a 2-0 win over Sassulo. However, Napoli got quite lucky as four Sassulo goals were overturned via VAR due to offsides. Milan beat Genoa over the weekend 3-0 and have secured a Champion's league return. Napoli has struggled on the road, collecting just four points in their last four Series A road games. Milan sits in second place in the table, just one point ahead of third place Atalanta (who is also in action today). Milan is also undefeated in their last six Series A contests. There should be plenty of goals in this game, but I'm backing the home club here. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
07-27-20 | Mariners v. Astros -220 | 5-8 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
Seattle plays their final game of this series with the Astros. Seattle is 1-2 in the first three games. Very rare for the M's to beat the Astros. In fact, this weekend's win snapped a 19-game losing streak to the Astros. Houston averaging over 6 runs per game thus far in the season. Houston big favorite, but they are part of my 3-team parlay. Play Houston. |
|||||||
07-27-20 | Brewers -165 v. Pirates | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
Part of 3 team parlay: Both teams started the season at 1-2 as Milwaukee visits Pittsburgh here on Monday. Neither starter has much to go on here as both are questionable at best. However, I do give a big edge to the Brewers bullpen and hitting edges. I'll take the Brewers here on Monday. |
|||||||
07-27-20 | Diamondbacks v. Padres -116 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Part of 3 team parlay: Padres pitching and hitting looking very impressive thus far. Padres now have won seven of the last 10 meetings with the D'backs in San Diego. This has really been a home series and with the Pads at home here for game four, I'll take them. Play Padres. |
|||||||
07-27-20 | Fulham v. Cardiff City OVER 2.25 | 2-0 | Loss | -50 | 17 h 52 m | Show | |
Semifinals of the England Championship League here on Monday has Fulham playing at Cardiff. Both teams looking to get back into the Premier league and this is the starting point. A win today pushes one team a step closer to the Premier league. Both teams in good form with Fullham not having lost in their last seven matches. Cardiff has been decent too with a 4-2-0 record their last six matches. These teams have been scoring well too, especially when they meet. These teams are both healthy and both evenly matched. Too close to call a winner here, but I look for both clubs to score and get over this total. Play OVER. |
|||||||
07-26-20 | Sampdoria v. Juventus -1.5 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 17 h 31 m | Show | |
Italy Series A action here on Sunday has Sampdoria at Juventus. Juventus looks to rebound after a tough loss to Udinese, 1-2. The season is winding down for Juventus as they look for another Series A title. Juventus boasts the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. Juventus has not been all that good of late, going 1-4 in their last five games. Sampdoria is clear of relegation and good thing as they haven't fared well vs the top teams in the table. Still Juventus needs to improve on their recent form here today. Play Juventus -1 1/2 goals. |
|||||||
07-26-20 | Mariners v. Astros OVER 9 | Top | 7-6 | Win | 100 | 3 h 9 m | Show |
First full weekend of baseball is Sunday and Jim Feist has been off to a good start so far with a 3-1-1 record the last two days. Sunday, Jim is going to play this game over between the M's and Astros. So far the overs seem to be getting the money a bit more than the unders. Zack Greinke getting older and these first starts of the season he won't be in any form. I'm taking the OVER here on Sunday. |
|||||||
07-26-20 | Fiorentina v. Roma -1 | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
Roma has seen good scoring in their games, evidenced by going over 2.5 goals in each of their last six Series A matches. They have also scored at least two goals in those matches. They will need to score and often here against a Fiorentina squad that are undefeated in their last six Series A matches. Roma can take solid hold of sixth place in the table with a win here on Sunday. Fiorentina has nothing to really play for as they are stuck at the bottom. If the visitor had anything to play for I'd likely be on the over here. However, with little on the line, I'm taking Roma -1 goal. |
|||||||
07-25-20 | Royals v. Indians -230 | 3-2 | Loss | -230 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
Part of my 3-team parlay are the Indians. They should have little issue here today taking care of the Royals. Big price but value as part of this parlay. Tribe struggled a bit to score on Friday, but don't expect that to happen again here on Saturday. |
|||||||
07-25-20 | Blue Jays v. Rays -142 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 27 m | Show | |
Part of my 3-team parlay for Saturday is a big play on the Rays to bounce back after losing at home on Friday to these Jays. |
|||||||
07-25-20 | Orioles v. Red Sox -192 | 7-2 | Loss | -192 | 3 h 53 m | Show | |
Early start here with the Sox as part of my 3-team parlay. Sox had no issues with this O's team on Friday and I expect same here today. Price to big to play straight, but part of this 3-team parlay we get some value. |
|||||||
07-25-20 | Inter Milan -1 v. Genoa | 3-0 | Win | 110 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
This is what I call a matchup of the penthouse vs the outhouse. Inter Milan can win it's third game in the last five as they play at Genoa here on Saturday. Inter Milan at the top of the Series A table, while Genoa at the bottom. Milan needs a win here to jump into 2nd and keep Atalanta at bay. Genoa could be in for a letdown here today as they com off a big win over Sampdoria. They are one point above the relegation line. Milan beat Genoa last time they met, 4-0. Milan just has a bit too much for the home team here on Saturday. I look for a Milan clean sheet in this one as they cover the -1 goal. take Milan -1 goal. |
|||||||
07-24-20 | Twins v. White Sox OVER 9 | Top | 10-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show |
First full day back of baseball and it should be interesting. I'm taking over here today in the Twins/White Sox matchup. I don't expect starters to go very deep at all in their initial starts. The Twins have a decent bullpen coming off a strong 2019 campaign. Can't say same for White Sox pen. Let's see how these pens hold up today. I don't expect much from them so I'm taking OVER the total. |
|||||||
07-22-20 | Queens Park Rangers v. West Bromwich Albion -1.5 | 2-2 | Loss | -119 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
Final day of the England Championship league here and the stakes are high for West Brom. West Brom can ensure automatic promotion with a win over visiting Queens Park Rangers (QPR) here on Wednesday. QPR is 14th in the table and has nothing to play for here on the last day. With so much on the line here for the home club I look for a West Brom WIN! Play West Brom on the goal line - 1 1/2 goals |
|||||||
07-22-20 | Swansea City -0.5 v. Reading | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
Last day of the season for these teams as Swansea City takes on Reading. Swansea coming off a win over Bristol City, 1-0. Yet, they still face a must win here on Thursday to keep their promotion hopes alive. Not much for Reading to play for here after back-to-back losses to Middlesbrough and Blackburn. They are stuck in the middle of the table and that's where they will stay. Swansea has won six of the last 10 matches with Reading with four of them ending in a draw. Much more at stake here for the visitor. I'm taking Swansea City. |
|||||||
07-22-20 | Barnsley v. Brentford -1.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 4 m | Show | |
Last day of the England Championship league here on Wednesday as Barnsley takes on Brentford. Brentford looking for automatic promotion with a win here today. Also here today Brentford playing their last home game at this site, someplace they have played for 116 years before moving next season. Brentford won the last meeting between these clubs, 3-1. Brentford is the leading scoring team in the league with 79 goals. They also have three players in the top 10 in scoring. Take Brentford here on Wednesday - 1 1/2 goals. |

Looks like an over to me here on Wednesday. |

07-21-20 | AC Milan -0.5 v. Sassuolo Calcio | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 12 m | Show | |
Two of the hotter Series A teams meet here on Tuesday as AS Milan take on Sassuolo. Sassuolo finally lost in a 1-4 contest to Atalanta after going on a run of eight games without a loss (4 wins, 4 draws). They still trail today's opponent, Milan, by eight points with four games to play. Milan has also been very good, not losing in their last eight matches. Biggest difference is that Milan has dominated this series, winning five of the last seven matches with Sassuolo. They have not lost to the host since 2016. Too much on the side of Milan here on Tuesday. I look for a easy win by the visitors. Play AC Milan on the money line. |

07-21-20 | Bologna v. Atalanta -1.5 | 0-1 | Loss | -133 | 12 h 58 m | Show | |
High scoring Atalanta is coming off a lackluster performance against Verona in a 1-1 draw. They can still finish the Series A season in the top two, but that requires winning and now drawing. Meanwhile, Bologna is coming off a blowout loss to Milan, 1-5. They have now lost four straight games. Their shaky defense will be put to the test here today against this very good Atalanta offense. Last time these clubs met it was a 4-1 Atalanta win and that's pretty much what I expect again here today. Take Atalanta on the goal line. |
|||||||
07-20-20 | Lazio v. Juventus -1 | Top | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 19 h 58 m | Show |
A win here on Monday by Juventus should just about put the finishing touches on another Series A title. Meanwhile, any chances Lazio has of a Series A title really rest on a win here today. Juventus leads Lazio by seven points in the table. Though they have drawn their last two games and lost three games ago. They look for their first win in the last four. Same for Lazio, they have a draw and three losses in their last four matches. Problem here today for Lazio is they will be without some key players and are showing some fatigue down the stretch. I'm taking the home team here as they just about put the finishing touches on a Series A Title. Take Juventus. |

The Lazio defense has also struggled of late and I don't expect it to get any better here on Monday against the high powered Juventus club. I expect at least three goals in this contest so take the OVER. |

07-19-20 | Inter Milan v. Roma +0.5 | Top | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 20 h 22 m | Show |
Inter Milan still has a chance of catching table leader Juventus at the top of Series A, but it's a long shot. Sunday they play at 5th place Roma. Milan tails Juventus by six points. Roma is 23-10 in Series A and has won each of their last three league matches. Their most recent win came over Verona, 2-1 last Wednesday. Milan coming off a shutout win over SPAL, 4-0 last Thursday. Roma is a good enough team here to stay in this contest and if we take them plus the half goal we can draw and still win. Take Roma +1/2 goal. |

Udinese looks to put some distance between themselves and that dreaded relegation line as they travel to Stadio San Paolo today for a match with Napoli. The visitors have just one win in their last four matches and stand just two spots above that relegation line. Meanwhile, Napoli has not lost at home in their last seven matches. Though they did play to a 2-2 draw in their last match against AC Milan. Napoli has scored at least two goals in each of their last six home Series A matches. This is the spot for Napoli to get off that two draw string they have had lately and get some momentum back under themselves. Take OVER 2 1/2 goals |
