08-09-18 | Texans +2.5 v. Chiefs | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 55 h 57 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #269 Houston Texas over Kansas City Chiefs (8:30p.m., Thursday, August 9) I feel that the Chiefs bit off more than they can chew this season. They ran off Alex Smith and have put all their eggs in the Patrick Mahomes basket. He has not looked good during camp and do not expect much from him tonight. Houston has a solid preseason quarterback rotation including a much better young quarterback in DeShaun Watson that what Kansas City has. Throw in back-ups Brandon Weeden and Joe Webb and expect Houston to win this game straight-up. Getting points just makes this an even stronger selection. |

4 Units – #604 Indiana (+13) vs Seattle 8/7 *7 EST Yes, Seattle is the best team in the WNBA and yes Indiana one of the worst teams, but this series is dominated as far as the point spread goes by Indiana. It is always hard to get up for a game where you are the best and the other team is the worst, because you tend to overlook or not prep as well for that team, it happens in Pro sports all the time no matter the genre. Seattle is 4-12-1 ATS the last 17 meetings in this series, and Indiana has ripped off 2 straight wins and playing better defense since the All Star break, holding NY to 55 points their last game and they won by 13 points. Before the All Star break Seattle won by 20 points against Indiana on the road, but I like Indiana at home here to cover the number with some confidence and nothing to lose. Seattle just 2-9 ATS the last 11 games at Indiana. |

08-05-18 | Marlins v. Phillies -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 2 h 1 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play. Take #904 Philadelphia (-1.5 rl) over Miami (1:30 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 5) The Phillies are going for a four-game sweep here on Sunday against Miami. They are doing it behind their young ace, Aaron Nola. Nola has been dominating this season, going 12-3 with just a 2.35 ERA. The Phillies are 14-4 in Nola's last 18 starts and 19-7 in his last 26 home starts. He has won six straight games against teams that are below .500 and the Phillies are an outstanding 41-19 in their last 60 home games. He hasn't had much luck against the Marlins. But I think he will turn that around with a dominating effort in this game. Miami is going with Dan Straily and he is still working his way back from injury. Miami is just 24-51 in their last 75 games up in Philadelphia and the Marlins are just 23-48 in their last 71 road games. Go with the home team in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

08-03-18 | Tigers v. A's -1.5 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take #926 Oakland (-1.5 RL) over Detroit (10:05 p.m. Friday, August 3) Oakland has been when of the hottest teams in all of baseball winning 30 of their last 40 games and are now a 1/2 game ahead of the Mariners for the second wild card spot. The A's just completed a 3 game sweep of Toronto which led to a 7-0 season sweep of them and after taking four games from Detroit in June they will look to do the same against the Tigers. Detroit has one of the worst road records in all of baseball at 18-35 and they will be facing left hander Brett Anderson. Anderson has made only one start at home for Oakland this season and I think he can limit a Tigers lineup that lacks a lot of fire power. Blaine Hardy will be on the bump for Detroit and he has been steady for the Tigers making 20 appearances for them this season, with 10 of them being starts. Hardy was roughed up by the Athletics on June 26th in a 9-7 loss when he allowed 6 runs on 6 hits (2 of which were home runs) over 4 innings. I think Oakland keeps it going and picks up the win in this matchup. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

4 Units #610 Seattle (-6.5) over Minnesota 8/3 *10 EST
Minny off a bad loss last night at LA where they scored 57 points and got waxed by 22 on the scoreboard. Seattle is the best team in the WNBA and their last game they scored 102 on the road, and this is a team who scores 85 ppg at home as where Minnesota struggles to put points up. Seattle is rested, Minnesota just played, and the key here is Seattle has 7 losses all year to date, and one of them was a road loss at Minnesota so we have a home team with revenge dialed in for this one. Minny just 2-7 ATS their last 9 road trips to Seattle. THIS LINE WILL GO UP – BET IT EARLY |

08-02-18 | Braves -1.5 v. Mets | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take #957 Atlanta over NY Mets (7:10 p.m. Thursday, August 2) Mike Foltynewicz has hit a rough patch where he has lost three out of his last five starts but I think he will have better luck facing the Mets. Foltynewicz dominated the Mets in his only start against them this season on June 12th in an 8-2 win when he allowed zero runs over five innings yielding just two hits while striking out six. The Mets are a complete mess right now and are without Todd Frazier, Jay Bruce, Yoenis Cespedes who are injured and they traded Asdrubel Cabrera to the Phillies before the trade deadline. The Mets have some solid starting pitchers but Jason Vargas is not one of them. Vargas hasn't lasted more than 5 innings in any of his starts for the Mets this year and in two starts against the Braves this season his ERA is 5.59, with Atlanta batting .317 off him in 9.2 innings while swatting 3 home runs. These teams are headed in opposite directions and I like Atlanta to pick up the win tonight. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

08-02-18 | Wings -8.5 v. Fever | 78-84 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #601 Dallas over Indiana (Thursday, August 2nd at 7:00 PM ET) Take Dallas ATS as my 4-Unit WNBA Smash for Thursday night. This pick falls into one of my top WNBA systems and the Wings are hands down the superior team here tonight. The Wings were still on the All-Star break during the 1st half of their first game back against Chicago and that cost them the game despite coming alive in the 3rd quarter. I fully expect this Wings team to come ready to play tonight against a bad Fever team that they routed by 27 points in their last game against them. Dallas has averaged 91.8 ppg over their last 5 games while the Fever have averaged just 74.2 ppg and despite their record the Wings are one of the best teams in the WNBA with key wins this season against the Sparks, Mercury, Storm and close losses against the Lynx. The Fever are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games when playing with 3 or more days of rest and you can expect them to come out rusty after the All-Star break. The Wings are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games after a loss and 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games when playing with 1 day of rest. Play Dallas ATS as we move to 10-4 my last 14 WNBA plays. |

08-02-18 | Ottawa -6.5 v. Toronto | Top | 41-42 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 59 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take #371. Ottawa -6.5 vs Toronto (Thursday @ 7:00p.m. est). These are two teams going in opposite directions in the standings. The visitors, Ottawa, are rolling right now, winners of 2 straight and three of the last 4 to move them into sole possession of first place in the East. Against teams not named Calgary, Ottawa is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS. They now get to face a Toronto team that has been blow out in two straight games, and have failed to register more then 20 points in all but one of their games (lone win 20-17 vs Edmonton). The Argos are suffering a major Grey Cup hangover and without the services of Ricky Ray, who went down injured in Game 1, look completely lost on offense - so much so, they made are making a switch at QB, benching highly touted James Franklin for career backup Mcleod Bethel-Thompson. They have no running game to speak of as James Wilder Jr. has been held in check throughout the season, mostly because teams are selling out to stop the run since they do not fear the passing attack. Ottawa has an extremely talented defense and gave up just 31 rushing yards to Hamilton last week. If Trevor Harris can keep the momentum going for the Redblacks on offense, Ottawa will have no trouble scoring points with their collection of offensive weapons and beating their in-province rivals and extending their lead atop the Eastern Conference. Keep in mind, Ottawa is 22-6 ATS in their last 28 road games and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 vs the East. Toronto is just 6-18 ATS following a SU loss. |

08-01-18 | Liberty +11.5 v. Sun | 77-92 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Units - #307 New York (+11.5) vs Connecticut 8/1 *7 EST Although New York has a couple of injuries I like them plus the big points after the all star break here today, as this has been a tightly contested series this year. A 3 point and 2 point difference in the 2 meetings and neither team is going to extra sharp after the All Star break. Short ands Sweet as I am pressed for time today. Too many points after a long break and NY should shore up their defense in this one. |

07-31-18 | Sky v. Wings -10.5 | 92-91 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. Take #304 Dallas over Chicago (Tuesday, July 31st at 8:00 PM ET) Take Dallas ATS as my 7-Unit WNBA Smash for Tuesday night. This pick falls into one of my top WNBA systems and I have Dallas winning this game by 20+ points at home. Dallas has averaged 90.4 ppg over their last 5 games and they have held opponents to just 79.6 ppg at home this season. Dallas played very little defense in their last game against Chicago which they lost as Chicago shot 56.8% as a team which will not happen again tonight. Chicago did lose by 23 points in their last trip to Dallas back on July 3rd and now Dallas also has the revenge factor after playing no defense in their last game against the Sky which was in Chicago. Dallas is a much better team than their record indicates and I expect them to get off to a hot start to the second half. The Wings are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games after a loss and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. The Sky are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 trips to Dallas and just 6-16 ATS in their last 22 games when playing a team with a winning record. Play Dallas ATS as we move to 5-1 my last 6 WNBA plays. |

07-28-18 | Ottawa +6.5 v. Hamilton | 21-15 | Win | 100 | 53 h 30 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. Take #365. Ottawa vs Hamilton (Saturday @ 4:00pm est). Consider the following. The Hamilton Tiger Cats just got beat up by the Saskatchewan Roughriders. They lost the game 31-20 and their QB, Jeremiah Masoli, threw for just 184 yards. Instead of giving Johnny Manziel a chance to show what he can do, they traded him away and are doubling down on Masoli. Big mistake. If you've watched any of the Tiger Cat's games, they are very poor offensively. Masoli looks very hesitant to make a play and they just can't get their running game going. They've now lost back-to-back games to the Riders, scoring just 18 & 20 points respectively. How in the world are they going to be able to put up enough points to keep up with an Ottawa attack that is one of the best in the league? As long as Ottawa is not playing Calgary, Ottawa will score points. They've put up 40, 28 and 29 in their 3 wins, and just 14 and 3 in their two losses to the Stampeders. Hamilton just gave up 31 to Brandon Bridge and a group of no-name receivers. Ottawa will score 30+ points in this game and will do more than enough to get the cover. Trevor Harris is going to put together another masterful performance against a weak Ti Cats' defense and his arsenal of William Powell, Greg Ellingson, Brad Sinopoli and Dante Spencer will give the Hamilton defense nightmares. The RedBlacks are 6-2 ATS vs a team with a losing record and 4-0 ATS against Hamilton, while the TiCats are just 4-11-2 ATS in their last 17 home games. |

07-27-18 | Diamondbacks -1.5 v. Padres | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take #961 Arizona (-1.5 RL) over San Diego (10:10 p.m. Friday, July 27) Arizona returns to the West Coast after dropping their last two games against the Cubs but I think the Padres are in trouble. Zack Greinke will be on the mound and he has dominated San Diego in his career going 10-2 across twenty starts. Greinke has been in a nice groove in 4 July starts going 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA, not allowing more than 2 earned runs in any start. Luis Pedermo will take the ball for the Padres and he has been a disaster this season. The Padres are 1-7 in the 8 starts Pedermo has made this year and he is 0-4 with a 11.29 ERA at home this season with opponents batting .395 against him. I think the Diamondbacks will bring the lumber and score plenty of runs while Greinke will limit the Padres offense and lead them to victory. Take Arizona in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
