Houston at New England 7:10 ET Texans over Patriots- I know what a way to start the pre-season but when it comes up it has to be taken down. this line is too much for me to bare and knowing Belichick is laying down here. Texans much more to prove and will be putting forth a bit more effort. don’t worry about who is playing because there will be a few more like this one before its all said and done. Take HOUSTON! |

Miami at Cincinnati 12:35 ET Marlins over Reds- I hate when this happens when I like a game strongly but the timing is bad for the player and players. Miami came through i a big way yesterday winning out Megabucks prize and I could rate them almost as high today except for the morning start. Johnny (why do I always feel like I’m spelling that wrong) Cueto (0-3, 5.32 ERA) hasn’t given up many hits (only 15) but the ones he has surrendered have gone the distance one out of every three times in 22 innings. Grapham Ashcrat (6-7, 5.18) gets the nod for Cincinnati and he has had flashes of excellence but has yet to develop consistency. Take MIAMI! |

British Columbia at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (-) over Lions- These two are without a doubt the top two best teams in the CFL and their team stats bear that out. BC who posted an impressive 3006 win at Winnipeg in the first meeting on June 22 the second week of the season, their only blemish this season came the following week at Toronto falling 45-24. Winnipeg has the No. 1 offense averaging 390 YPG and their defense is ranked No. 3 allowing 341 YPG. not, to be out done the Lions have CFL No. 1 defense allowing just 281 YPG and thr no. 2 offense averaging 389 YPG. The problem for BC is that will be against a team bent on revenge and they will be using their back-up quarterback while th Blue Bombers have two-time MVP Zack Collaros who was held to 191 yards in the first meeting has thrown for over 300 yards in his last two. Revenge and a better QB... Take WINNIPEG! |

Cincinnati at Chicago Cubs 8:05 ET Cubs over Reds- Having played against the Cubs Sunday posting St. Louis 3-0 as ‘our’ Megabucks winner, I feel very comfortable coming back with Chicago behind Marcus Stroman (10-7, 3.51 ERA). He has lost three of his last four decisions and was pounded by the White Sox last time out. This will be his last showing before the trade deadline expires and who know how it will affect him, but he is still amid his best season as a 10-year pro. The Cubs should bounce back today against the Reds Andrew Abbott (6-2, 1.90) whose numbers are off the charts with 66 K’s, in 61 innings with just 40 hits... but this is just one of those things. Take CUBS! |

New York right-hander Clarke Schmidt (6-6, 4.33 ER) has won four straight decisions in his last eight starts. One of his prior losses was to the Orioles and is 2-2 with a 4.09 ERA in eight career games.Baltimore will start Tyler Wells (7-5, 4.33) and he 0-4 with a 4.95 ERA career against the Yankees.

Seattle at Arizona 9:40 ET Mariners over Diamondbacks- Seattle was expected to give the AL leaders something to worry about this season but they have yet to put tings together and maybe they are showing some signs of life as they have won five of their last seven. The Mariners are just 4.5-game out of the Wild card spot and look to make up ground while playing against Arizona as the D’backs are 3-9 since the All-Star break and have lost 24 of their last 19 overall.

Cleveland at Chicago 7:30 ET White Sox over Watchdogs- Great pitching match-up tonight and I would be surprised if either of these two starters gave up more then two runs each. The starters of course are for Cleveland Tanner Bibee (6-2, 3.04 ERA ) whose name I just love and who’s pitching has been better than anyone expected. Now, for Chicago it will be Dylan Cease (4-3, 4.04) and he has been absolutely outstanding in his limited action but virtually un-hit-able. I know that I vowed to stay away from the White Sox because we don’t want to bet garbage, but some times the call is to wild to ignore...Take CHICAGO WHITE SOX! |

Considering that Paton has had one one win the past two seasons with a combined ERA of 6.70 the Red Sox has pleased with his limited appearances.

When CFL teams are bad thy are very bad and teams have gone win-less and have had one-win seasons. The Elks were 4-14 last season off a three-win season the year before.

St. Louis at Miami 6:10 ET Cardinals over Marlins- When St. Louis was 10-24 I was thinking now is the time to watch for a spark that would send them on a hot streak and they haven’t received it yet as they picked up just one-game in 50 games since. Hey, but beating the Yankees with a revenue pitcher on the mound might have them headed in the right direction. One who definitely is headed in the wrong direction is today's starter for the Cardinals Miles Mikolas (4-5, 4.44 ERA) allowing five or more runs in three of his last four starts. But, he is 3-1 with a 272 ERA in eight appearances against Miami. The Marlins as usual come up with arms and have another one on the hill today in Braxton Garrett (4-2, 3.53) who has a 1.98 ERA in his last nine starts covering 50 innings, but he is just 0-1 with a 7.00 ERA against he Cardinals allowing14 hits in nine innings. Red Birds are 16-5 at Miami in the last 21 meetings and 38-15 in the last 53 meetings overall. Take ST. LOUIS! |

Tampa Bay at Seattle 4:10 ET Mariners over Rays- The Mariners who were expected to contend in the AL West are still struggling to reach .500 while Tampa Bay has been hitting (literally) on all cylinders since Opening Day. Seattle is strong favorites here as Luis Castillo (5-6, 2.86 ERA) takes the hill and it is about time he received the support that he has earned. He just broke a 4-game personal losing streak where he had six starts and did not surrender three runs but once and had six quality starts. Tampa Bay has cooled off some and pitching could hamper their efforts. Tai Bradley (5-4, 4.58) has been inconsistent and gave up seven runs in four innings against Arizona last time out. Take SEATTLE! |

Minnesota at Baltimore 8:10 ET Twins over Orioles- it seems a bit odd to me that this game should open a pick-em as the Orioles seem to have such a huge advantage. To start with they are at home which means the Twins who lead the AL Central and are 2-games under .500 are 17-23 on the road. Minnesota will sent Pablo Lopez (3-5, 4.41 ERA) to the hill looking to upset Dean Kramer (8-3, 4.50) who lost his only start against the Twins surrendering five runs in four innings. I expect much of the same today. Take MINNESOTA! |

They gain a poultry 63.5 yards rushing and barley 150 yards passing ranking dead last in both in this nine team league. This will be just the second game for Toronto after a bye last week.

George Kirby (6-6, 3.19 ERA) is getting a lot of respect and maybe the bookies are already know who the unannounced starter will be for the Orioles, and whoever he is they don’t think much of him or them.

He leads the majors in innings pitched and he has thrown 98 pitches or more in 13 of his last 14 starts. he averages a strikeout an inning and has allowed just 80 hits in his 95 inning work. I do not like when raid out affect my game schedules as Atlanta just keeps turning out young studs like the starter today Bryce Elder (4-1, 2.69) is not old enough to drink in most states and he is making his 14th of this season. Not bad so far, allowing just 69 hits in 77 innings but it will not be good enough tonight. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Tonight a pair of journeymen will face off as Seth Lugo (3-3, 4.10 ERA) who spent seven years as a NY Mets reliever with make his ninth start of the year for San Diego. For San Francisco it will be Anthony DeSclafani (4-6, 4.31) who has been roughed up in his three June starts giving up 12 earned runs in 12 innings.

Left-hander James Paxton (2-1, 3.09 ERA) gets the nod for the visitors and he has had limited action because of Tommy John surgery and he is 3-1, 3.17 ERA lifetime against the Twins.

Tampa Bay at San Diego 7:10 ET Padres over Rays- This one we should have thoughts about as the struggling Padres will send former Rays Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell (2-6, 3.78 ERA) who has been just a shell of himself since being removed in the 2020 playoffs. But, pitching against his former team will give him incentive as it was a bitter parting in 2021. Tampa Bay will start Zach Eflin (8-1, 2.97) who after seven years with the Phillies seems to have found himself this season. There is trouble in Diego as the Rays are not only 22-6 against lefties but 6-1 in the last seven meetings. As bad as the Padres appear at times they are 6-1 after a loss. Take SAN DIEGO! |

I hate betting this team but i still believe that they are winners tonight. To start with Texas has fallen back of late dropping six of their last eight games and they will be facing Toronto’s top hurler in Kevin Gausman 5-3, 3.12 ERA) who is 4-2 with a 3.88 ERA against the Rangers in nine starts.

LA Angels at Texas 7:10 ET Rangers over Angels- Okay, this one should be good as MKB will showcase its biggest attraction since Babe Ruth in Shohei Othani (5-2, 3.88 ERA) who has a legitimate shot before it is over to win both the Cy Young and MVP and it could possibly happen in the same season. But, I truly do not believe it is happening this right now. He starts for the Angels tonight but his overall number from the hill are not as awesome as his a at the plate (leads majors with 21 home runs). The man that will attempted to cool Othani down is Nathan Eovaldi (9-2, 2.49) who will probably steal the CY tonight as he mows this Angels down. He has surrendered just 68 hits in 87 innings pitched. Rangers have the 2nd best record in baseball to Tampa Bay and they have scored the most runs, and more tonight off the hard throwing right-hander. Take TEXAS! |

Tonight’s starter for the Dbcks Merrill Kelly (8-3, 2.94 ERA) is looking for his eighth straight winning decision and is 1-1 with a 1.98 ERA against the Phillies.

The anomie that Florida got this far defeating record points making Boston and being so close to elimination and like Miami their season with end after five games in the finals.

This seems even more bogus when you realize that the Orioles have won their last four games. To point out more oddities we see Baltimore going 20-12 at home while Blue Jays are just 18-17 on the road. Blue Jays are 5-2 at Baltimore in the last seven. Take TORONTO! |

The points are generous and well they should as them Mile High Guys look and play much better even at sea level (which after forty years is still not rising...Al Gore). From what i have seen I can not see the Heat winning this game but at the same time I believe that their intensity will be at the max. The South Beach boys have responded throughout most when little was expected of them and that is what I am expecting here. Although the 9-points or so is temping to take on a team that will be making their last salvo if eliminated. Take MIAMI! |

Cincinnati at St. Louis 2:15 ET Cardinals over Red(legs)- He is one of the more exciting and electric young hard throwers in the game and I am speaking of Hunter Greene (1-4, 3.92 ERA) of the former Redlegs now known as Reds. He has given up just a par hits in his last two starts and he gives up less hits than innings pitched but has issued too many free passes. St. Louis has been playing more like Dead-birds than Redbirds and will have future HOF hurler Adam Wainwright (2-1, 5.97) who in his eighteenth season is on the down side of his career (opponents are hitting .326 against him and surprisingly Cincinnati is the team that has tagged him with his most career loses as he is 11-17 with a 5.53 ERA in 40 lifetime appearances.

Las Vegas at Florida 8:00 ET Panthers (ML) over Golden Knights- Okay, we all saw Vegas dominate the first two period in game 3 and yet end up an overtime loser. The key here is how the OT came about. The Golden Knights were on the brink of going up 3-0 in this series with a 2-1 lead late in the third period they had to be thinking just 2 more minutes and 17 seconds and we will be up 3-0 and that much closer to the Stanley Cup.

So, what is the deal...my issue even in a league where you can score a one-point play that with those two resumes why is the home team favored by less the a field goal.

LA Dodgers at Philadelphia 7:05 ET Phillies over Dodgers- The problem for me here is that I really like the Dodgers Bobby Miller (2-0, 1.06 ERA) who just shut down the Yankees allowing only one hit in six innings and he received a no decision. Miller was the LA No. 1 draft pick in 2020 and that was his third MLB appearance and to date in 17 innings he has surrendered only nine hits with 16 strike outs and only four walks. Aaron Nola (5-4, 4.30) is considered as the Philadelphia (Megabucks winner yesterday 5-4) workhorse and has had mixed results having failed to post a winning season since 2019. Although his numbers do not necessarily show it but he has been throwing really well lately allowing just one hit in seven innings his last time out and he has only given up 67 hits in 82 innings on the year. The Phillies have won six straight and are 37-17 in their last 54 home game while the Dodgers are 2-6 in their last eight road games. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

When watching them go down you begin to wonder how they got to where they are right now.

The Dodgers although a comfortable 9-games over .500 just do not appear to me to be a championship team. They are 16-17 on the road while the Phils are at least 17-10 at home and will have Ranger Suarez who picked up his first victory in his last start his fifth and this will make tow-in-a-row.

To start with it seems that Miami really does not began to play until they are facing at least a 15-point deficit and more then likely in the second half. When Pat Riley stepped down many said he choose Eric Spoelstra to coach because he would make Riley look better as a head coach and now it is being said that he is the best coach in the NBA. Maybe he is, but that hasn’t stopped the public from playing Denver like no one else is playing in the game. Take MIAMI! |

Baltimore at Milwaukee 8:40 ET Brewers over Orioles- Now that Baltimore is getting the attention the deserve I will be looking to fade them more often as they become popular with public. Milwaukee staged a late 4-3 comeback as Tuesday’s Megabucks Brewers were a winner and they are 29-4 when scoring four runs or more and just 4-24 when they do not. The Orioles will start Dean Kramer (6-2, 4.43 ERA) who has never faced the Brewers while the home team will start former Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes (4-4, 3.75) who has just one career start against the Brewers a no decision. Baltimore is just 4-11 in inter-league games against opponents with winning records and they are 0-6 in their last six games in the Brew City and 1-8 in their last nine meetings. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Baltimore at Milwaukee 7:40 ET Brewers over Orioles- Baltimore has developed into one of the more exciting club with their youth taking control after years of futility. The Orioles are an amazing 20-10 on the road and have won eight of 10 series played away from Camden Yards and have the third best record in all of MLB. Kyle Gibson (7-3, 3.89 ERA) has won his last three starts for the O’s but is just 1-2 with a 5.67 ERA in seven career starts against Milwaukee. Veteran Freddy Peralta (5-5, 4.62) gets the nod for the Brewers and he is 4-2 with a 3.38 ERA at home and the Orioles are 0-5 in their last five meetings at Milwaukee. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Milwaukee at Cincinnati 7:10 ET Redlegs over Brewers- The way things have been going in baseball the past five days I believe it is best to just stay with the A-Play the single strongest play I see on the MLB board today. The meeting seems to be a bit askew with the price as Milwaukee is looking for a 4-game sweep and come up an be underdog to a rookie, left-hander Andrew Abbott (0-0, 0.00) who is making his MLB debut. The Brewers will go with 14 year veteran Julio Teheran (1-1, 0.82 ERA) who make just one appearance in 2022 and only 12 stats the last three seasons. In his career Teheran is 3-4 with a 4.14 ERA in nine career starts against Cincinnati and the Brewers are 2-5 in their last seven against lefties. I know the Reds are not so good but this young hurler started in Double-A and has risen quickly through the system to the bigs. Take CINCINNATI! |

Miami at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over Heat- In all three of their previous playoff series No. 8 seed Miami was able to get a jump on the No. 1 Bucks, No. 5 Knicks and No. 2 Celtics in the opening game of the series and that put tremendous pressure on the home clubs. They felt ambushed in a way and that is not something Denver has to worry about. After crushing Phoenix in their final two games of the series the Nuggets swept the Lakers and won their seventh straight over the Heat in Game One. I am sure to hear how Miami will make adjustments and the Game-1 loser is covering with the zigzag concept is they play...well not so fast. Let us take a closer look at this Heat club. To start with they are just 3-9 ATS following a loss by 10 points or more. And I have more, Miami is 9-26 ATS in the lat 35 overall meetings and 0-4 ATS at Mile High. Finally, they are 4-14 ATS in their last 17 with 2 days rest while the Nuggets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games on two days rest and we will rest with the Nuggets are 8-3 last 11 at home. Plus they really are a lot better and hungry. Nuggets can shoot the ball and the other side not so much, as they already shot their load in the last three anomalies. Take DENVER! |

Baltimore at San Francisco 4:05 ET Giants over Orioles- It took 58 games but the Giants have scratched and clawed all the way back to reached .500 at 29-29. Yesterday’s Power Play win with SF should be repeated here Sunday as a Megabucks winner with San Francisco sending Anthony DeScalafani (4-4, 3.48 ERA) to the bump against Baltimore’s Tyler Wells (3-2, 3.29). Wells has been truly amazing allowing just 40 hits in 63 innings pitched all in 11 appearances giving up more than four hits only three times. Traveling west has not been a good experience for the Orioles as they are 4-10 against the NL West and the Giants are 5-2 in their last seven inter-league games. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

New York Yankees at LA Dodgers 7:10 ET Dodgers over Yankees- I love when these two iconic baseball powers meet as the video of yesteryear will be shown over again with Don Larson, Reggie Jackson, Don Newcome and a slew of others in black and white footage (except Reggie). New York will send undefeated and Cy Young candidate Gerrit Cole (6-0, 2.93 ERA) to the hill and he has been racked for five earned runs in each of his last two starts but was bailed out by a load of Aaron Judge homers. The Dodgers will send rookie Michael Grove (0-1, 8.44) out against what is not such a formidable line-up even with whiff artist Stanton back. Somehow it is LOS ANGELES! |

Seattle at Texas 8:05 ET Mariners over Rangers- Both clubs will be sending out their best of this season in a battle between a pair of right-handers as the Rangers send Jon Gray (5-1, 2.81 ERA) to the bump and Seattle will direct Luis Castillo (2.69) to the mound. It pains me to play against Texas as I posted them to be the surprise winner (that is one reason I hate making preseason predictions having to pay against my self.) What I see is the home club being given no advantage (by the odds-makers) here when they are a far superior club. Last season the Mariners went 14-5 against Texas including 73 in the Lone Star State. This line is just too short...Take SEATTLE! |

Miami at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over Heat- Being in the Mile High City should cool off this Miami team who have been blazing hit in every big game situation in the entire playoffs. Denver who has been sitting around for what seems like an eternity is the polar opposite of the Heat and will force the tempo into a pace Miami will try and avoid. The key for the Nuggets is to hit their usual shots and do not allow the Heat pressure to affect them. Straight up, I think Nikola Jokic is just too big and powerful for the Heat defense. Miami has been through a grinding run and are just 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games with just two days rest and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings in Denver and 9-25 ATS in the last 34 meetings overall. Take DENVER! |

Cleveland at Minnesota 7:40 ET Twins over Watch Dogs- With the season almost a third of the gone Cleveland finally had an offensive output yesterday that was a high for hits (17) and runs (12). This for the clubs that has had the best of the AL Central for some time now. Minnesota who is barely over .500 and lead the Central will start Pablo Lopez (3-3, 4.11 ERA) who pitched once against the Indians when he was with Miami and picked up a win. Cleveland will send Tanner Bibee (1-1, 2.88) who can toss the ball at nearly 100 MPH and allowed only one run last time out against St. Louis in seven innings. Former Tribesman are just 3-8 in their last 11 road games and jus 2-7 in their last nine after scoring five runs or more the previous game. Take MINNESOTA! |

LA Angels at Chicago White Sox 2:10 ET White Sox over Angels- I am loving this side from so many angles that they can not help but intersect. Yesterday, going with ole reliable and a main stay when in need of a slump buster we played against the Angels and won out only game since Saturday (1-5)and it was Chicago over these impostors. Chicago was expected to contend for the AL Central but find themselves 11 games under .500. LA has dropped 4-of-5 after winning 4-straight at home. The White Sox have shown some life lately winning five of six against right-handed starters and will have Lance Lynn (4-5, 5.83 ERA) has won his last three starts and has picked up the pace. The woeful Angels will sent Jaime Barria (1-2, 1.55) who is making his thirteenth appearance but just his second start. Take WHITE SOX! |

New York Yankees at Seattle 9:40 ET Mariners- over Yankees- With so many weak spots in their line-up the Yankees have become virtually a ‘as Judge goes so go the Yankees’. The Pride of the Yankees (no he didn’t say that) Aaron Judge hit a pair of home runs and robbed the Mariners of another in the field yesterday will be what Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (3-2, 3.60 ERA) will have to contend with. New York will send out Nestor Cortes (4-2, 5.30) who although has a winning record has not be anywhere as effective as he was last season. Plus the Mariners are 13-3 in their last home starts against left-hand starters. Take SEATTLE! |

Seattle has won six of their last seven and the Yankees have moved to nine games over .500 after a poor start to the season. New York always seems to be in the middle of something and Domingo German (2-3, 3.75 ERA) who has had issues on and off the field is off a 10-day suspension for using too much sticky-stuff and is making his first start since May 16. The Mariners will send rookie Bryce Miller (3-1, 1.15) who has not allowed more than four hits in any of his five MLB starts. Anthony Rizzo the Yankees only .300 hitter will be out after getting hit in the head in a collision with Fernando Tatis Jr. Take SEATTLE! |

Miami at Boston 8:30 ET Celtics (+) over Heat- Okay, here comes the rub, I totally expect Boston to win this game as I posted them at 7/1 to win the series after falling behind 0-3. We had the Game 6 Megabucks winner Boston 104-103 on the ‘Money Line’ -140 and as I expected it came down to the final buzzer and we were lucky enough to win outright while avoiding the non-cover favorite point spread loss. The position that I personally am in with the series bet +700 I should without a doubt take the points and cover my original action and have a 7.5-point middle or even take the Heat on the money line...but I just do not believe Miami is the winner. Now, while the betting public is taking them at a 3-to-1 clip I find it difficult to even play my middle. Instead I am going to let it ride (love that movie) because it has not happened in 150 other tries and because the money has been wrong every game this series. Aside from the final four minutes Jimmy Butler looked either hurt of too tired to carry this team any longer. Celtics are 9-3 ATS after an ATS loss. I never thought that I would have the favorite here, and I though that the Heat would come to play and make it a battle to the final whistle. But, now, with all the pressure on Miami we will see why they were seeded EIGHTH! Take BOSTON! |

Both of these clubs have played better than most expected and have shown decent profits for backers.Tanner Houck (3-3, 4.99 ERA) will get the start for the Red Sox and he has dropped three straight decisions after opening the season 3-0 and has not won since April 20 a span of six starts.The D’Backs send Merrill Kelly (5-3, 2.99) to the rubber who has won four straight decisions.

Now, the Celtics are favored on the road at Miami and the Heat return home with the pressure of the entire playoffs mounts as they do not want to have to return to Boston. The Celts are still in the we have nothing else to lose mode and that is dangerous. I am afraid of a gaff win by the Celtics but they are the side. Take BOSTON! |

These boys playing by the Erie are still alive because of a bullpen that is the fifth best in the majors allowing just 3.38 runs per nine innings. St. Louis also a Central Division Champion will start Jack Flaherty (3-4, 5.29 ERA) and he is 0-1 with a 5.00 ERA in nine innings against the former tribe.

We are talking about an underachieving San Diego then that was expected to give the West a run for their money but they have disappointed everyone with their play. The Yankees are 15-5 in their last 20 games but have dropped their last two and being an underdog at home makes no sense. The Padres will start Joe Musgrove (1-2, 6.75 ERA) who is facing the Yankees for the first time. New York will start Randy Vasquez who is making his MLB debut and was 1-5 with a 4.85 ERA in AAA ball.

AM I thinking of the 2004 Red Sox who were down 3-0 to the Yankees and had just lost at home 19-3 and no one gave them a chance...they won and yes I have thoughts of that and they are not pleasant (Yankees fan). Knowing that 0-3 teams in NBA playoff series are 0-150 and after posting a Highest-Rated Megabucks winner with the Celtics I am coning right back with my strongest side of the season. The number is huge and Miami is catching most of the money and from what we have seen rightly so. But, other than the Game 4 line adjustment the odds maker makes the Celtics the same as Game 1. If the Celts have as much confidence in themselves as the odds makers..they win. Take BOSTON! |

Baseball is such an in and out game where teams go from one extreme to another such as going from being hot and on win streaks to ice cold. The Astros will send Brandon Bielak (1-1, 2.88 ERA) to the mound and the Brewers will use Adrian Houser (0-0, 3.07) who is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA on two career appearances.

So, at this point everyone is in shock and Boston doesn’t have a clue how to change things the media is killing their rookie coach and looking to dissect the club. At 0-3 no team in NBA history has ever come back (0-150) to win the series and I would image the Celtics down to a man are bewildered and embarrassed. That second thing going a long way among professionals and Boston is that. This time around the Heat are favored and maybe that might too much for them to carry. I always take points but this is do or die for the Celtics and winning the game is all that counts for them here on out. Oh...I can not believe it...take CELTIC PRIDE! |

In Game e the Lakers actually had a 12-point lead at one point and a one-point lead with seven minutes to go before the Nuggets closed them out.

So, that left many with the impression that the Lakers are ready for Game Two and the Zig-zag people will come wit the Game One outright loser and I don’t see it that way. To me, LA was the winner as they got the money and tonight they fall short. The Lakers are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 trips to the Mile High City and the Nuggets are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as hosts overall. Take DENVER! |
