07-27-22 | Rangers v. Mariners +1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 3* play on the Mariners. After beating the Rangers in back to back games to start this series, Seattle is a home dog in Game 3. Both the first two games were decided by one run, and another close game is likely here this afternoon. Marco Gonzales will toe the slab for Seattle, and he's faced Texas three times already this season. His numbers aren't great against the Rangers, but Jon Gray is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA against Seattle. These teams have played one-run games in seven of the last 10 head to head meetings, and the Mariners are 11-4 in their last 15 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-26-22 | Marlins v. Reds OVER 8.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 48 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Over. The Reds scored 11 runs in a home win over Miami in Game 1, so we aren't expecting Game 2 to be a pitcher's duel. Hunter Greene will toe the rubber for the Reds, and he's 0-3 with a 6.20 ERA in his last four starts. The Fish hand the ball to Pablo Lopez who got rocked for five runs on five hits and three walks in five innings in a home loss to Texas his last time out. The Reds have gone over in five of their last seven overall, and they have gone over in four of their last five versus a right-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-25-22 | Rangers v. Mariners -135 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 24 h 17 m | Show |
This is a 5* play on Seattle. The Mariners went into the All Star break as the hottest team in the major leagues, but they ran into a buzz saw in a home series against Houston over the weekend. Coming off three straight losses, they host Texas in Game 1 in Seattle tonight. Chris Flexen will toe the slab for Seattle, and he's 3-0 with a 2.01 ERA in his last four starts. The Rangers are 4-9 in their last 13 games versus a right-handed starter. Texas is 16-35 in the last 51 meetings in Seattle. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-24-22 | Rangers v. A's UNDER 7.5 | 11-8 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The A's don't win many home games, in fact they have the worst home record in the majors. They did win by a score of 3-1 last night in Game 2 of this home series versus Texas. Game 3 looks like it could be another pitcher's duel. Martin Perez will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he's 3-0 with a 2.52 ERA in eight starts on the road this season. Oakland will hand the ball to Paul Blackburn, who pitched a scoreless inning in the All Star Game. The under is 7-3 in the Athletics last 10 home games, and they have gone under in 13 of their last 18 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-23-22 | Los Angeles FC +105 v. Sporting KC | 2-0 | Win | 105 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on LAFC. Garreth Bale's LAFC debut was rather uneventful, coming off the bench in the finals minutes of a 2-1 win over Nashville. He might see more action here in Kansas City tonight. Sporting KC sits at the bottom of the table, one of just four MLS clubs with a negative goal differential at home. LAFC is one of the best road teams in MLS, going 5-1-3 in nine matches. With a challenge at the top of the table from Austin FC, we should expect LAFC to go for the win tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-23-22 | Cubs v. Phillies -162 | 6-2 | Loss | -162 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on PHI. The Phillies lost to the Cubs yesterday, but they send ace Zack Wheeler to the mound in Game 2. Wheeler (8-5, 2.89 ERA) has been far better at home than he has been on the road. He's 5-2 with a 1.62 ERA in nine home starts. The Cubs hand the ball to Marcus Stroman, and the Cubs are 0-4 in his last four starts. The Cubs are 3-9 in the last 12 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-22-22 | Winnipeg -7 v. Edmonton Elks | 24-10 | Win | 100 | 81 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The two time defending champions are still undefeated, and they play on the road at Edmonton this week. The Elks picked up a win on the road at Montreal last week, but they trailed by 19 points in the 3rd quarter of that game. Edmonton has allowed a CFL worst 220 points, more than double what Winnipeg has allowed in the same number of games. The Elks have lost nine straight home games, and they are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-22-22 | Guardians v. White Sox -165 | 8-2 | Loss | -165 | 28 h 57 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on CWS. Chicago was one of the more disappointing teams in the first half of the season, but coming out of the All Star break they might be in a good position to turn things around. They won five of six heading into the break, and those wins came against rivals Minnesota and Cleveland. They play Game 1 at home versus Cleveland tonight. and Lucas Giolito will get the nod. He's 2-0 with a 0.68 ERA in two starts against the Tribe this year. The Guardians hand the ball to Cal Quantrill, who is 1-5 with a 4.66 ERA in seven starts on the road. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-22-22 | Cubs v. Phillies -125 | 15-2 | Loss | -125 | 18 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on PHI. The Phillies need to string some wins together in the second half if they want to get back into the hunt for the playoffs. The Cubs lost nine of 10 heading into the All Star break, and they will likely be looking to shop players in the trade market. Justin Steele will start for the Cubs, and he's been failry solid but doesn't have a win on the road this season. The Phillies hand the ball to Kyle Gibson, who is 4-1 with a 4.01 ERA in nine home starts. The Cubs have lost five of their last six in Philly. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-21-22 | Giants +1.5 v. Dodgers | 6-9 | Loss | -145 | 22 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Giants +1.5. The Giants won five of six heading into the All Star break, and they look to pick up right where they left off on the road in LA in their first game back. Carlos Rodon will toe the slab for San Francisco, and he's absolutely owned LA. The Dodgers lineup has hit a combined .080 over 71 at bats versus the southpaw. The Dodgers hand the ball to Mike White, who is winless in his last four starts. He's 0-1 with a 4.66 ERA in four starts over the last 30 days. The Giants are 24-10 in their last 34 games following an off day. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-21-22 | Hamilton v. BC -7.5 | Top | 12-17 | Loss | -110 | 58 h 31 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the B.C. Lions. Hamilton is coming off it's first win of the season at home over Ottawa, but now they play on short rest on the other side of the country in Vancouver. The Lions own the league's highest scoring offense, averaging 40 points per game. Nathan Rourke has completed 80 percent of his passes this season, with 12 TDs and 4 INTs in four starts. Coming off a bye week, we should expect BC to be at it's best. The Tiger-Cats are 0-6 ATS in their last six games overall, and they are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games in July. The Lions are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a bye week. Hamilton has failed to cover in five of their last six visits to Vancouver. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-19-22 | Boca Juniors v. Argentinos Juniors +0.25 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 48 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Argentinos Juniors. The Boca Juniors are the most famous team in Argentina, winning the league a record 34 times. The betting markets have been slow to adjust to the fact that they are no longer one of the top teams in the league. Argentinos Juniors are level on points with the first place team in the league, and they are unbeaten at home (3-0-1). Boca Juniors have lost two of three away matches, and are just 4-4 overall in the league. The poor results have led to the sacking of Sebastian Battaglia, and Boca will have an interim manager moving forward. The home dog appears to be the sharp play here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-17-22 | Fever v. Storm -14 | 65-81 | Win | 100 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on SEA. The Seattle Storm have more home wins than any other team in the WNBA, and they host the last place Indiana Fever on Sunday. This will be the third meeting between the two teams, and Seattle won the previous meetings by 22 and 18 points. The Fever are coming into this game riding an eight game losing streak, and six of those eight losses came by double digits. During their current losing streak, the average margin of defeat for Indiana is 15 points. Asking a powerhouse team like Seattle to cover 14 at home seems like a bargain. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-17-22 | Orlando City SC v. Atlanta United OVER 2.75 | 1-1 | Loss | -118 | 13 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. Atlanta is coming off a 2-1 home win over Real Salt Lake, and they have gone over 2.5 goals in five straight matches. They host Orlando FC on Sunday, and these two teams have gone over in three of the last four head to head meetings. High scoring games have been the trend in Atlanta, with the home squad scoring 19 goals and conceding 14 in 10 home matches. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-17-22 | Mariners -129 v. Rangers | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 14 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on SEA. The Mariners are the hottest team in the majors, coming into Sunday's game in Texas as winners of 13 straight. Chris Flexen will toe the slab for Seattle, and he's allowed just one run in his last two starts. Flexen is 4-0 with a 2.79 ERA in his last five starts. The Rangers hand the ball to Glenn Otto, who is 0-3 with an 8.80 ERA in his last four starts. The Mariners are 26-8 in the last 34 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-16-22 | Mariners -134 v. Rangers | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on SEA. The Mariners are the hottest team in the majors, coming into Game 3 in Texas as winners of 12 straight. Logan Gilbert will toe the slab for Seattle, and he's 6-1 with a 2.47 ERA in 10 starts on the road. He's even better in two starts versus Texas, going 1-0 with a 0.71 ERA. The Rangers hand the ball to Spencer Howard, who is 1-1 with an 8.04 ERA. The Mariners are 25-8 in the last 33 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-16-22 | Pirates v. Rockies OVER 11.5 | 0-2 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Rockies scored 13 runs in a win in Game 1 of this home series versus Pittsburgh, and Game 2 is expected to be another slugfest. Jose Urena will toe the rubber for the Rockies, and he's a disaster waiting to happen. He got called up despite struggling in the minors, and he hasn't really been roughed up badly yet. He's been very lucky to have only allowed three runs, considering he's given up a dozen hits and a half a dozen walks in a dozen innings. The Pirates hand the ball to Mitch Keller, who has an ERA over 5.00 on the road. The over is 9-3-1 in the Rockies last 13 home games versus a team with a losing record. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-16-22 | Saskatchewan v. Toronto +3 | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 83 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Argos. The Riders are tied for second in the CFL with a 5-1 record, and they will be a road favorite (at a neutral site in NS) at Toronto this week. The Argos have played two fewer games, and they are coming off a bye. That should be an advantage here against a Riders team that lost by 24 at Montreal a few weeks ago. Strength of schedule favors the home team, who lost by a single point at home to defending champs Winnipeg in their last game. Their other loss came on the road against the Lions in Vancouver. The Riders have won three of their last four at Toronto, but only one of those wins came by more than three points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-15-22 | Pirates v. Rockies -140 | 2-13 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Colorado. The Pirates are coming off back to back road losses at Miami, and they travel all the way to Colorado for Game 1 versus the Rockies tonight. Pittsburgh is just 18-29 on the road, while the Rockies are 26-22 at home. The Rockies have won five of their last six home games, and tonight's starter German Marquez tossed a 1-hit, complete game shutout in his last start versus the Pirates. The Pirates send Joe Quintana to the mound, and the Rockies crush left handed pitching. Colorado is 6-2 in their last eight home games versus southpaws. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-15-22 | Calgary v. Winnipeg -185 | 19-26 | Win | 100 | 66 h 57 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Bombers. The top two teams in the CFL meet tonight in Winnipeg, and only one team will come away with their perfect record intact. The Bombers are defending champs two years running, and they have won 11 straight home games dating back to the beginning of last season. The Stampeders come in looking like contenders, but strength of schedule warns they may be pretenders. With wins over Montreal, Hamilton and Edmonton, their opponents have a combined record of 2-12. The Bombers defense ranks #1 in the CFL, and that could be the difference here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-15-22 | Phillies v. Marlins -157 | 2-1 | Loss | -157 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MIAMI. The Marlins are coming off back to back home wins, and they send their ace to the mound tonight against the Phillies. Sandy Alcantara is looking like a Cy Young candidate, and he's coming off consecutive shutouts. He's 3-1 with a 1.85 ERA in his last five starts, and he's 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA in two starts versus Philly. The Phillies hand the ball to Kyle Gibson, who is 0-2 with a 5.22 ERA on the road this season. The Phillies are 1-5 in the last six meetings in Miami. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-14-22 | Brewers -105 v. Giants | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Milwaukee. The Brewers still have a two game lead at the top of the NL Central, despite winning just two of their last seven games. Corbin Burnes will toe the slab for the Brewers in Game 1 in San Francisco, and he's 4-1 with a 1.62 ERA in eight starts on the road. The Giants hand the ball to Carlos Rodon, who is coming off a complete game. He did throw 112 pitches in a 3-1 win over the Padres, and we will see if he's any worse for wear. While this is sure to be a pitcher's duel, I have more faith in the Brewers backed by the reigning Cy Young winner. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-14-22 | Edmonton Elks v. Montreal -7.5 | 32-31 | Loss | -110 | 43 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Montreal. The Edmonton Elks are coming off a 49-6 home loss to Calgary, falling to 1-4 on the season. Edmonton has not yet had a bye week, and the grueling schedule has taken it's toll. This team is banged up with several injuries to key players, and they play on the road against a well rested Montreal team. The Als are coming off a bye week, looking to bounce back from a 41-20 loss at Saskatchewan. They scored 37 points in a 24-point win over the Riders in their last home game. Despite losing QB Tre Ford with a leg injury, Edmonton traded their Week 1 starter Nick Arbuckle to Ottawa on Monday. Needless to say, they have some serious issues with their QB depth. This should be a blowout. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-13-22 | San Jose v. LA Galaxy -160 | 3-2 | Loss | -160 | 21 h 32 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the LA Galaxy. LA is ranked 5th in the Western Conference, and they are in danger of falling out of the top tier in MLS. They are coming off a 3-2 loss at LAFC, but prior to that they beat Montreal 4-0 at home. They still have a respectable home record, and tonight they face a team that is winless on the road. San Jose is 0-3-6 with a -10 goal differential on the road. Home field is so huge in MLS, and this looks like a spot to back the home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-13-22 | Orioles +1.5 v. Cubs | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 18 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Orioles. Now winners of nine straight, and they are still an underdog to the Cubs. From top to bottom the Orioles pitching staff has been on a roll. The Cubs on the other hand rank 25th with a team ERA of 4.66, and 29th with just 17 quality starts. Chicago is just 17-28 overall, and Baltimore has battled back to .500. Spenser Watkins has allowed just two earned runs in his last three starts for the Orioles, and the bullpen has been phenomenal. Take BAL. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-12-22 | Diamondbacks v. Giants -210 | 0-13 | Win | 100 | 19 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on SF. The Giants are struggling, there is no doubt about it. What a better spot to get back on track than a home game against a struggling starting pitcher. Dallas Keuchel started the season with the White Sox, and this will be just his fourth start for Arizona. His first start came against the worst offensive team in the major leagues, and still he allowed four runs on six hits and three walks in just 4 1/3 innings. He's 1-3 with an 11.81 ERA in four starts on the road in 2022. The Giants hand the ball to Logan Webb who is 2-0 with a 1.36 ERA in his last five starts. The Diamondbacks are 1-10 in their last 11 during game 2 of a series. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-12-22 | Padres -126 v. Rockies | 3-5 | Loss | -126 | 18 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Padres. San Diego won Game 1 in Colorado, and they have another favorable matchup in Game 2. Mike Clevinger will toe the slab for San Diego, and he's 2-0 with a 2.61 ERA in five appearances on the road this season. The Rockies hand the ball to Austin Gomber, who has really struggled in Colorado. He's 1-1 with a 7.32 ERA in his last five appearances. As good as they are against lefties, the Rockies are 5-14 in their last 19 games versus a right-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-11-22 | Padres -145 v. Rockies | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on SD. The Padres split a home series versus San Francisco over the weekend, and they play Game 1 of a new series in Colorado on Monday. Jose Urena will toe the rubber for the Rockies, and he is coming off a tough stretch in the minors. After failing in Milwaukee, he went 0-1 with a 7.29 ERA in five starts in Triple A. Somehow he held his own for 6 2/3 innings in a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers in his return to the big leagues last week. The Padres hand the ball to Sean Manaea, who is coming off back to back losses. He's 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA in two career starts versus Colorado. I don't expect Urena to have much success at Coors given his struggles with his command and his habit of walking too many batters. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-10-22 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks OVER 9 | 3-2 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Rockies have won two of three in this series in Arizona, and two of the three games went over the total. Two struggling starters will get the nod on Sunday. German Marquez will toe the rubber for the Rockies, and he's really struggled. He hasn't fooled Arizona, the D'Backs lineup has hit a combined .335 over 129 at bats versus Marquez. The D'Backs hand the ball to Tyler Gilbert, who is 0-3 with a 6.86 ERA. He faces a Rockies lineup that really crushes left-handers. The over is 8-3-1 in the Diamondbacks last 12 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-10-22 | Astros v. A's UNDER 8 | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 16 h 56 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Athletics have split the first two games of this home series versus Houston, and they send a hot pitcher to the mound in the rubber match Sunday. Cole Irvin will toe the slab for Oakland, and he's been very sharp at home this season. He's 2-1 with a 1.49 ERA in seven home starts. The Astros hand the ball to Jake Odorizzi, who was roughed up by the Royals in his last start. He faces an Oakland lineup that ranks 30th in the majors batting just .209, and 29th in scoring. The under is 12-3-1 in the Astros last 16 games versus a left-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-10-22 | Marlins v. Mets UNDER 7 | 2-0 | Win | 105 | 13 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. The Mets have split the first two games of this home series versus Miami, and it looks like the rubber match is fixing to be a pitcher's duel. Sandy Alcantara will toe the slab for the Fish, and he's coming off another solid performance. Alcantara (9-3, 1.82 ERA) tossed eight scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out 10 in a win over the Angels his last time out. The Mets hand the ball to Taijuan Walker, who has been on a roll. Walker (7-2, 2.86 ERA) has pretty dramatic split stats. He's 2-0 with a 1.86 ERA in five home starts, and 4-0 with a 1.15 ERA in six starts in day games. The under is 7-2-1 in the Marlins last 10 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-09-22 | Sporting KC v. CF Montreal -130 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -130 | 88 h 10 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Montreal. Just last week Montreal was sitting in first place in the Eastern Conference, but after losing on the road at LA they have slipped to third. A home game against the last place team in MLS appears to be a great spot to get back on track. Sporting KC is just 1-2-7 with an MLS worst -16 goal differential in 10 games on the road. Montreal has a fairly average home record with five wins in eight matches, but they did score 16 goals in those games. All three of their home losses came against teams versus a winning record. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-09-22 | Winnipeg v. BC -160 | 43-22 | Loss | -160 | 91 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on B.C. The Lions are off to an impressive start going 3-0 and scoring over 44 points per game. Despite playing one fewer game than Winnipeg, the Lions have scored 50 more points (OMG am I reading that right?). Not only that, their defense has been outstanding as well. This is a tough spot for the Bombers, who just barely survived in a 23-22 win at Toronto on Monday, and now travel to Vancouver on short rest. The Lions haven't played since last Thursday, so they should have a significant advantage when it comes to rest and time to prepare. Winnipeg was outscored 19-6 in the second half of Monday's win over Toronto, and it wouldn't be any surprise to see that carry over into this road game just five days later. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-09-22 | Angels v. Orioles +1.5 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Orioles. The Orioles have won six straight, and four of their last five games were decided by one run. They have a better overall record than the Angels, and a far better record at home than the Angels have on the road. Their starting pitcher has better numbers, and still they are the underdog here in Game 3 of a series that they lead 2-0. The Angels are 5-17 in their last 22 road games, and they are 1-12 in their last 13 versus teams from the American League East. The Orioles are 6-4 straight up in their last 10 versus the Angels, but they are 8-2 on the runline in those games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-08-22 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks -145 | 6-5 | Loss | -145 | 22 h 4 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Arizona. The Rockies got a rare road win last night in the series opener, but facing a right-hander in Game 2 on the road is a tough spot for Colorado. The Rockies have the worst road record in the major leagues, and they hit lefties a lot better than they hit righties. Chad Kuhl will toe the rubber for the Rockies, and he hasn't fooled Arizona. The Diamondbacks lineup is batting a combined .304 over 52 at bats against him. The D'Backs hand the ball to Zack Gallen, who is 2-0 with a 3.45 ERA in eight home starts. He's also 1-0 with a 2.18 ERA in two starts versus the Rockies this season. The Rockies are 7-19 in their last 26 games versus a right-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-07-22 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks OVER 9.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. It was just a week ago that I bet on the over in Game 2 of the Rockies home series versus Arizona. Here is what I said before the game: "We saw the D'Backs win Game 1 of this series by a score of 9-3, and there were 5 home runs in the game. Expect even more scoring in Game 2, with two starting pitchers that are struggling mightily. Dallas Keuchel started the season with the White Sox, and this will be just his second start for Arizona. His first start came against the worst offensive team in the major leagues, and still he allowed four runs on six hits and three walks in just 4 1/3 innings. Now he faces a Rockies team that leads the major leagues in batting average versus left-handed pitching. The Rockies hand the ball to Austin Gomber, who is 1-2 with a 9.00 ERA in his last five appearances. I wouldn't be surprised if both teams score in double digits here tonight." A week later the same lineups face the same struggling starters in another hitter friendly park. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-07-22 | Calgary -175 v. Edmonton Elks | 49-6 | Win | 100 | 49 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Calgary. The Stampeders are coming off a 30-23 home win over Edmonton in Week 3, and the final score might suggest that the game was closer than it actually was. Calgary was in full control, but the Elks scored twice in the final two minutes to get a back door cover. The Stamps had last week off, giving them more time to prepare for this week's game at Edmonton. The Elks are coming off a surprising upset win at Hamilton, and they took advantage of a second half collapse by the Ticats. Hamilton turned the ball over four times, and Dane Evans was picked off twice. Trey Ford got his first win at QB for the Elks, despite completing only 57 percent of his passes and throwing for 159 yards with a TD and an INT. Playing a well rested Calgary team looks like a let down spot for the Elks. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-06-22 | Rockies v. Dodgers OVER 9 | 1-2 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on OVER. The Dodgers are a huge favorite with Colorado sending a struggling pitcher to the mound in Game 3, but i have my eyes on the total. Jose Urena will toe the rubber for the Rockies, and he is coming off a tough stretch in the minors. After failing in Milwaukee, he went 0-1 with a 7.29 ERA in five starts in Triple A. The Dodgers turn to the back end of their rotation, sending Mitch White to the mound. The 27 year old has an ERA over 5.00 in five appearances at home this season. The Dodgers have gone over in five of their last seven versus teams with a losing record. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-05-22 | Angels v. Marlins -134 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Miami. The Marlins come into Game 1 of this home series as winners of five in a row, while the Angels have lost four of their last five. Sandy Alcantara will toe the slab for the Fish, and he's having a Cy Young caliber season. He's 8-3 with a 1.95 ERA in 16 starts. The Halos hand the ball to Noah Syndergaard, who has struggled on the road. He's 1-4 with a 6.53 ERA in five starts on the road. The Angels are 4-15 in their last 19 road games. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-04-22 | CF Montreal v. LA Galaxy OVER 3 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 26 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over 2.5. Montreal is all of a sudden sitting at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, despite a goal differential of just +3. While they have scored 32 goals in 17 matches, they have conceded almost as many. They will play in LA on the 4th of July, and the Galaxy are just 4-1-1 with a negative goal differential at home. I expect both teams to score here, and it should take at least two goals to win it. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-04-22 | Winnipeg v. Toronto +5 | 23-22 | Win | 100 | 32 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 10* play on Toronto TT Over. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are defending champions, and they come into this game in first place tie with B.C. and Calgary. This is a tough spot for them however, playing on the road versus an Eastern Conference team, with a marquee matchup versus B.C. coming up just days later. This is also a big spot for Toronto, coming off a blowout loss at B.C. in just their second game of the season. Starting QB MacBeth was heated when he was taken out of the game late in Vancouver. It was not due to poor play, as he completed 15-of-21 passes for 174 yards, but the Argos defense just couldn't get off the field. The home team has won five straight and eight of the last nine head to head meetings. The Argos beat Winnipeg 30-23 at home last season. The over is 9-1 in the last 10 head to head meetings, and the losing team has scored over 20 points in seven of those 10 games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-04-22 | Cubs v. Brewers -142 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 20 h 30 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Milwaukee. The Brewers are still clinging to a 1.5 game lead in the NL Central, while the Cubs are still 13 games back. The Cubs have struggled at Milwaukee losing eight of their last 10. Justin Steele will toe the slab for Chicago, and he's 0-2 with a 7.29 ERA in five starts on the road. He allowed four runs on seven hits in just three innings in a loss at Milwaukee earlier this season. The Brewers hand the ball to Eric Lauer who has been solid at Miller Park. He's 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA in five home starts. The Cubs are 3-9 in their last 12 road games, and they have lost 20 of their last 28 versus the Brewers. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-04-22 | Rangers v. Orioles -103 | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 16 h 27 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Baltimore. The Orioles were 5-5 on a 10-game road trip, and they return home to host Texas on the 4th of July. Dean Kremer will toe the slab for the O's, and he's coming off three straight scoreless outings. His 18 2/3 scoreless inning streak has come against Seattle, Chicago and Tampa Bay. The Rangers hand the ball to Dane Dunning, who has been terrible on the road. He's 0-5 with a 5.58 ERA in eight road starts. The Rangers are 9-23 in their last 32 versus the American League East. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-03-22 | Atlanta United v. New York City FC -165 | 2-2 | Loss | -165 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on New York FC. New York City is a powerhouse at home, and they have the best goal differential of any team in the MLS while going 6-2-1 in their nine home games. They host Atlanta, a team that struggles on the road. Atlanta is 1-1-6 in eight road games this season. New York is 3-0-1 in the last four head to head meetings, and they are back home after going winless on a three game road trip. New York has out-scored Atlanta 8-2 in the last four meetings. This looks like a great spot for the home favorite to get back on track. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-03-22 | Diamondbacks v. Rockies UNDER 11.5 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. Last night's game in Colorado was a slugfest, but a matinee at Coors on Sunday might not produce as much scoring. Chad Kuhl will toe the rubber for the Rockies, and he's coming off an impressive outing. He pitched a complete game shutout in a 3-0 home win over the Dodgers. The D'Backs hand the ball to Zack Gallen, who tossed seven scoreless innings, striking out seven in a win over the Rockies earlier this season. The Rockies have seen plenty of Gallen, and over 100 combined at bats they have hit .203 with 34 strikeouts and just 24 hits. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-03-22 | Rangers v. Mets -135 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Mets. The Mets have lost six of their last nine, and their lead in the NL East has been trimmed to just 2.5 games. They host Texas in Game 3 of a home series Sunday, and they look good in the rubber match after splitting the first two games. Carlos Carrasco will toe the slab for the Mets, and he's 5-1 with a 3.88 ERA in eight home starts. The Rangers hand the ball to Jon Gray, who hasn't fooled the Mets. The Mets lineup is batting a combined .310 over 67 at bats against him. The Mets are 14-5 in their last 19 home games, and they are 22-6 in their last 28 games following a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-02-22 | Diamondbacks v. Rockies OVER 12 | 7-11 | Win | 100 | 19 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. We saw the D'Backs win Game 1 of this series by a score of 9-3, and there were 5 home runs in the game. Expect even more scoring in Game 2, with two starting pitchers that are struggling mightily. Dallas Keuchel started the season with the White Sox, and this will be just his second start for Arizona. His first start came against the worst offensive team in the major leagues, and still he allowed four runs on six hits and three walks in just 4 1/3 innings. Now he faces a Rockies team that leads the major leagues in batting average versus left-handed pitching. The Rockies hand the ball to Austin Gomber, who is 1-2 with a 9.00 ERA in his last five appearances. I wouldn't be surprised if both teams score in double digits here tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-02-22 | Montreal v. Saskatchewan OVER 45.5 | 20-41 | Win | 100 | 19 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. While you don't want to overreact to the Als winning the first leg of this home and home series by a score of 37-13, you also can't ignore that since the change at quarterback their offense has been on fire. Trevor Harris replaced Vernon Adams in Week 2 in Toronto, and Montreal lost that road game by just a single point. He comes into Week 4 ranking second among CFL starters in yards per pass, and 3rd in efficiency rating. His numbers are considerably better than his counterpart Cody Fajardo. The last time the Als played at Saskatchewan, they lost by a score of of 27-25. I expect a similar score here tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-01-22 | Angels v. Astros -148 | 1-8 | Win | 100 | 19 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Houston. The Astros have won five of their last six, and three of those wins came against the New York Yankees. The Angels come into Houston as losers of eight of their last 10 series openers. Michael Lorenzen will toe the slab for the Halos, and he hasn't missed many bats lately. He's 1-4 with a 6.75 ERA in his last four starts. The Astros hand the ball to Christian Javier, who is 3-2 with a 1.95 ERA in seven home starts. The Angels are 9-22 in the last 31 meetings in Houston. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-01-22 | Braves -1.5 v. Reds | 9-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 56 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Atlanta -1.5. The Braves won two of three games in Philly, and both wins came by 2+ runs. Atlanta ranks among the league leaders in wins by more than one run, The Reds have lost 10 of their last 13, and nine of those 10 losses came by more than one run. Cincinnati ranks among the league leaders with 79 percent of their losses coming by 2+ runs. Mike Minor will toe the rubber for the Reds, and he's been rocked for 10 runs on 14 hits over 11 innings in his last two starts. He's 0-3 with a 7.53 ERA in three home starts. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-01-22 | Red Sox -129 v. Cubs | 5-6 | Loss | -129 | 14 h 52 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Boston. The Red Sox come into Wrigley as winners of eight of their last 10, while the Cubs are 15-36 in their last 51 home games. Rich Hill will toe the slab for the Sox, and his numbers on the road are better than they are in Boston. He's 3-1 with a 2.50 ERA in eight road starts. The Cubs hand the ball to Adrian Sampson, who has appeared in just three games. The Cubs lost all three of those games. The Cubs are 2-15 in their last 17 interleague home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-30-22 | BC -125 v. Ottawa | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 49 h 40 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the BC Lions. While the Lions play on the road for the first time this season, on short rest and without their star WR Bryan Burnham, they are only a slight favorite against a winless Redblacks squad. This actually looks like a good setup for a play on the home dog (situational), but I am not sure these teams are close in terms of talent. The Lions out-scored their first two opponents a combined 103-18. Nathan Rourke has completed 88 percent of his passes for over 700 yards and no picks. Their most recent opponent was a pretty talented Toronto team. Jeremiah Masoli threw for over 5000 yards and 28 TDs in 2018 in Hamilton, but has pedestrian numbers over the last two seasons. Last year he lost his job to Dane Evans. While I expect the Redblacks to give the Lions a run for their money, BC has won five straight head to head versus this team, and they are still the better team IMO. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-30-22 | Austin v. Charlotte FC OVER 2.5 | 1-0 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. Of the seven games in MLS on Wednesday, six of them went over the total. I expect that trend to continue here tonight with Austin FC playing at Charlotte. Only two teams in MLS have scored more goals this season than Austin FC. That said, their record in away matches is pretty pedestrian with a negative goal differential. Charlotte on the other hand has one of the better home records in MLS, going 6-2 with a +6 goal differential. Austin FC has gone over in four of their last five matches overall, while the over is 3-2 in Charlotte's last five matches. The most likely outcome here is a 2-1 final score. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-30-22 | Braves +1.5 v. Phillies | 4-14 | Loss | -154 | 17 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Atlanta +1.5. Bryce Harper leads the Phillies in hits, RBI and batting average, so it makes sense that they have lost back to back games in this home series versus Atlanta. They are the favorite here in Game 3, but I expect the Braves to give them a run for their money. Ian Anderson will toe the slab for Atlanta, and his numbers are better on the road than they are at home. He's 5-2 with a 3.55 ERA in eight starts on the road. The Phillies hand the ball to Aaron Nola, who is also better on the road than he is at home. His ERA at home is almost double what it is on the road. The Braves are 11-2 in their last 13 road games, and they are 16-5 in their last 21 games following a win. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-29-22 | White Sox v. Angels -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 115 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on LAA -1.5. In general the Angels are one of the most overrated teams in the major leagues, and Shohei Ohtani as great as he is has been hyped up to the point where there is very little value backing him as a pitcher. That being said, while the Angels on the moneyline looks like a sucker bet, there appears to be value in backing LA on the runline. A glance at the MLB charts showing wins and losses by 2+ runs reveals that 30 of LA's 36 wins have come by 2+ runs. The White Sox on the other hand have a total of 38 losses, and 30 of those came by 2+ runs. This sets up a decent plus money bet on LA -1.5. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-28-22 | Orioles +1.5 v. Mariners | 0-2 | Loss | -140 | 24 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Orioles +1.5. The Orioles come into this series with more road wins than the Mariners have home wins. Seattle has won six of the last 10 head to head meetings, but only three of those wins came by more than one run. Dan Kremer will toe the slab for the Orioles, and he's allowed just one run in his last three starts. Robbie Ray is a big name Cy Young winner, but he hasn't been the same pitcher this year that he was a year ago. The Orioles haven't been fooled by Ray, batting a combined .316 over 94 at bats against him. The Orioles are 13-3 in their last 16 games following a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-27-22 | Dodgers v. Rockies +182 | 0-4 | Win | 182 | 24 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Colorado. The Rockies have lost five of their last six overall, but all of those losses came on the road. They are still 19-19 at home, and they look good as an underdog in Game 1 of a home series versus LA. Tyler Anderson will toe the slab for LA, and he's 8-0 with a 3.00 ERA so far this season. He hasn't fooled the Rockies though. Colorado's lineup is batting a combined .331 over 58 at bats versus the southpaw. The Rockies hand the ball to Chad Kuhl, who has better numbers at home than he does on the road. The Rockies are leading the major leagues batting .293 versus left-handed pitching. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-27-22 | Rangers -1.5 v. Royals | 10-4 | Win | 130 | 18 h 54 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Texas. Texas is now in second place in the AL West, and they look good as a road favorite at Kansas City Monday. Martin Perez will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he's having a career year. He's 5-2 with a 1.96 ERA in 14 starts. He's 1-0 with a 1.76 ERA in six starts on the road. The Royals hand the ball to Kris Bubic, who has struggled at home. He's 0-3 with a 7.78 ERA in six home starts. The Rangers are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings in Kansas City, and they are 28-8 in the last 36 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-27-22 | Red Sox +1.5 v. Blue Jays | 2-7 | Loss | -125 | 17 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Boston. The Red Sox are the hottest team in the major leagues, and they come into Toronto as winners of 10 of their last 12. The Blue Jays have lost seven of their last 10, and yet they are a big favorite in Game 1. Kevin Gausman will toe the slab for the Jays, and he's really struggled in his last five starts. He's 1-3 with a 5.48 ERA in five starts over the last 30 days. The Red Sox hand the ball to a 26 year old rookie making just his second career start. Needless to say, we aren't banking on Connor Seabold to be great here. The Red Sox are 7-2 in their last nine road games versus a right-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-26-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning +105 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on TB. Darcy Keumper bounced back from a poor performance in Game 3 in Tampa with a solid Game 4. He wasn't terrible in a Game 5 loss in Colorado, but in a game decided by one goal he let in a bad one. Andrei Vasilevskij allowed two goals on 37 shots in Game 5, and he's really in the zone right now. The Lightning have the momentum, they have home ice in Game 6, and they have the better goalie. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-26-22 | Reds v. Giants -140 | 10-3 | Loss | -140 | 16 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on San Francisco. The Giants have slipped 5.5 games back in the NL West, and they have split the first two games of this home series versus Cincinnati. They crushed the Reds 9-2 in Game 2, and they look good in the rubber match Sunday. Anthony Descalafani will toe the slab for San Francisco, and his numbers look pretty ugly. He's 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA, but the Giants are 3-1 in his four starts. He was 8-3 with a 3.10 ERA in 14 home starts last season, and he allowed just one run on six hits in seven innings in a win over the Reds in his only start versus Cincinnati. The Reds hand the ball to Tyler Mahle, who has struggled against San Francisco. He was 0-2 with an 11.57 ERA in two starts versus the Giants last season. The Reds are 3-8 in the last 11 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-25-22 | Tigers v. Diamondbacks -142 | 6-3 | Loss | -142 | 20 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Arizona. The D'Backs lost Game 1 of this home series versus Detroit by a score of 5-1, but they have a favorable matchup in Game 2. Zach Davies will toe the slab for the D'Backs, and he's been on a solid run. Davies (2-4, 3.96 ERA) boasts a 2.81 ERA over his last five starts, despite not picking up any wins. The Tigers hand the ball to Alex Faedo, who has been rocked in his last two starts. He allowed 12 runs on 7 1/3 innings in losses to Boston and Chicago. The Tigers are 8-21 in their last 29 road games, and 3-9 in their last 12 overall. Take ARI. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-25-22 | Toronto v. BC -178 | Top | 3-44 | Win | 100 | 116 h 15 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on BC. The Lions didn't just win their home opener, they dropped a whopping 59 points on the sad sacked Edmonton Elks. Nathan Rourke threw for 282 yards and three TDs on 26-of-29 passing. James Butler scored four TDs and ran for over 100 yards. The defense was just as impressive, forcing four turnovers and allowing just 15 points. The Argos won their home opener, but it was far less impressive. They just barely edged out Montreal by a score of 20-19. The Argos last visit to BC ended in a blowout loss by a score of 55-8, and the home team has won four of the last five head to head meetings. An extra week to prepare will also be an advantage for the home team here. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-25-22 | Cubs v. Cardinals -184 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on STL. The Cardinals ran into a hot pitcher last night, losing Game 1 of this home series versus the Cubs by a score of 3-0. They turn to Miles Mikolas in Game 2. Mikolas (5-5, 2.64 ERA) allowed two runs on four hits over 6 1/3 innings in a 2-0 loss at Milwaukee his last time out. He came one pitch away from a no-hitter in his previous start. The Cubs hand the ball to Adrian Sampson, who is making his first start of 2022. The Cardinals are 21-7 in their last 28 during game 2 of a series. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-24-22 | Tigers v. Diamondbacks -159 | 5-1 | Loss | -159 | 24 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Arizona. After losing three straight on the road at San Diego, the D'Backs return home to host Detroit in Game 1 of a home series Friday. The Tigers are coming off three straight losses at Fenway, and their road record of 8-21 is the worst in the major leagues. Rony Garcia will toe the slab for the Tigers, and he's been used primarily out of the bullpen. He's 1-2 with a 6.38 ERA in five starts over the last 30 days. The D'Backs hand the ball to Merrill Kelly, who has been solid at home. He's 3-2 with a 3.41 ERA in his last five starts. The Tigers are 7-21 in their last 28 road games, and they are 1-7 in their last eight versus right-handed starters. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-24-22 | Hamilton v. Winnipeg -190 | 12-26 | Win | 100 | 23 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on WPG. The Hamilton Tigercats really faded at the end of last season, and it's been a slow start to 2022. They are in a tough spot this week, playing on the road at Winnipeg where the defending Grey Cup champs are 16-1 since 2018. The Bombers have showed no signs of slowing down, ranking 1st in the CFL in scoring defense heading into Week 3. Only Edmonton has allowed more points per game than Hamilton so far in 2022. Only the Elks QB has thrown more INTs (5) than Dane Evans (4) so far this season. Zach Collaros has thrown for 416 yards with three TDs and one INT in the first two weeks. The Bombers should probably be favored by at least a TD here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-24-22 | Lightning v. Avalanche -164 | 3-2 | Loss | -164 | 44 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Colorado. The Lightning had Colorado on the ropes, taking a 2-1 lead to the third period of Game 4 and coming so close to tying the series and taking all the momentum. Instead they lost a heart breaker in overtime, and it's really tough to see them coming back from that. Darcy Keumper bounced back by stopping 37 of 39 shots in Game 4. While injuries are piling up for the Lightning, the Avs are getting healthier. It was Nazem Kadri who scored the game winner in Game 4, in his first game back after being sidelined since Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. The Cup will be in the building tonight, and the last time Tampa played in Denver they lost by a touchdown. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-23-22 | Mariners -125 v. A's | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 5 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on SEA. The Mariners have outscored Oakland 17-2 in the first two games of this series, and with their ace going on Thursday in Game 3, it could be more of the same. Robbie Ray will toe the slab for Seattle, and he's coming off his best start of the season. He allowed one run on three hits, striking out 10 in seven innings in a home win over the Angels. The A's hand the ball to Frankie Montas, who is coming off one of his worst performances of the season. He allowed five runs on a season high 10 hits over five innings in a home loss to Kansas City. The Mariners are 20-7 in the last 27 head to head meetings, and they have won eight straight at Oakland. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-22-22 | Cubs v. Pirates OVER 9 | 14-5 | Win | 100 | 16 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Pirates have scored 19 runs in the first two games of this series versus the Cubs, and we expect the bats to remain hot here in Game 3. Keegan Thompson will toe the slab for Chicago, and he's been far better at home than he has been on the road. He's 2-2 with a 6.63 ERA in six appearances on the road. The Pirates hand the ball to Jerad Eickoff, who is making his first major league start of the season. His Triple A record of 4-3 with a 4.84 ERA this season doesn't inspire a ton of confidence. The Pirates have gone over in eight of their last 11 versus a team with a losing record. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-22-22 | Diamondbacks +1.5 v. Padres | 4-10 | Loss | -152 | 14 h 56 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on ARZ +1.5. The first two games of this series have been low scoring, and we can expect that trend to continue given the injury to Manny Machado. Mad Bum will toe the slab for Arizona in Game 3, and he's had plenty of success against San Diego. He is is 13-13 with an ERA of 3.72 and 256 strikeouts in 42 appearances against the Padres in his career. The Padres hand the ball to Mike Clevinger, who is making just his 5th start of the season. He's failed to go five innings in four of his five appearances this season. The Padres rank 6th in the majors in scoring with 324 runs. The D'Backs rank 21st with just 280 runs scored. If you take away the 46 runs driven in by Machado, the Padres would have scored fewer runs than Arizona. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-22-22 | Phillies -128 v. Rangers | 2-4 | Loss | -128 | 18 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on PHI. The Phillies come into Texas as still one of the hottest teams in the majors, going 15-3 prior to Game 1. Zack Wheeler will toe the slab for Philly in Game 2, and he's already shut down the Rangers once this season. Wheeler who is 4-0 with a 1.71 ERA in his last five starts, tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in a win over Texas earlier in the year. The Rangers hand the ball to Jon Gray, who is no stranger to the Phillies. He allowed three runs on five hits in just three innings in a no decision at Philly earlier in the year. The Phillies are 10-1 in their last 11 games versus a right-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-21-22 | Cubs v. Pirates -142 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 17 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Pittsburgh. The Pirates exploded for 12 runs in Game 1 of this series, and they face another struggling pitcher in Game 2. Matt Swarmer will toe the slab for Chicago, and he's coming off back to back losses. He allowed 10 runs on 11 hits over 8 ⅔ innings in those games. The Pirates hand the ball to Roansey Contrares, who has impressed in three home starts. He allowed just one run on eight hits, striking out 18 in 13 ⅔ innings in those games. The Cubs are 3-13 in their last 16 overall, and they have lost six straight road games. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on TB. The two time defending champions are on the ropes, but with the series back in Tampa and the Lightning coming off a 7-0 loss in Game 2, we should expect some push back. Keep in mind that Tampa was down 0-2 to the Rangers in the East Finals, and went on to win four straight. Andrei Vasilevskij allowed just three goals in the final three games of that series. The Lightning are 8-3 in their last 11 Stanley Cup Finals games, and they are 40-15 in their last 55 home games. Colorado is due to suffer a let down in Game 3. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-20-22 | Cardinals v. Brewers -150 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 19 h 53 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Milwaukee. The Brewers have won four of their last five, moving back into a first place tie with St. Louis in the NL Central. Game 1 looks like a potential pitcher's duel, but the Brewers might have an edge with the reigning Cy Young winner on the mound. Corbin Burnes will toe the slab for Milwaukee, and he's coming off a win over the Mets in his last start. He went six innings, allowing two runs on five hits with eight strikeouts in that game. The Cardinals hand the ball to Miles Mikolas, who came one pitch away from a no-hitter in his last start. It might be a concern that he threw 129 pitches in that game. Burnes tossed seven scoreless innings, striking out 11 batters in his only prior start versus St. Louis this season. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-19-22 | Brewers -132 v. Reds | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Milwaukee. The Brewers are a game back in the Central, and they are coming off back to back wins at Cincinnati. They look good to complete the sweep here on Sunday. Mike Minor will toe the slab for Cincinnati, and he hasn't missed many bats lately. Minor (1-2, 7.36 ERA) allowed four runs on eight hits over 6 1/3 innings in a loss at Arizona his last time out. The Brewers hand the ball to Adrian Houser, who hasn't been getting much run support. His last two starts came in shutout losses, but he should get some help from the bats today. The Brewers are 10-3 in the last 13 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-18-22 | Saskatchewan -6.5 v. Edmonton Elks | Top | 26-16 | Win | 100 | 120 h 27 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Saskatchewan. The Riders won 30-13 at home versus Hamilton in Week 1, and they head out on the road to face the Elks in Edmonton in Week 2. Edmonton looks like the worst team in the CFL after giving up 59 points in a loss to BC in their season opener. Home field might not help, as the Elks were 0-7 in Edmonton last year. Starting QB Nick Arbuckle threw for 254 yards on 20-of-29 passing, with no TDs and three INTs in the loss to BC. The Elks are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games, and they are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS loss. The Roughriders are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 road games, and they have won five straight head to head versus Edmonton. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-18-22 | Padres v. Rockies OVER 11.5 | 4-5 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Rockies scored 10 runs in a home win over San Diego in the series opener, and the two teams scored a combined 12 runs in the first five innings last night. With more warm air and light winds blowing out, we could see another slugfest in Game 2. Nick Martinez will toe the slab for San Diego, and he hasn't fooled C.J. Cron. After hitting a pair of home runs yesterday, Cron comes in batting .350 with a pair of home runs lifetime versus Martinez. The Rockies hand the ball to German Marquez, who is just 1-2 with a 6.64 ERA in seven home starts. The over is 15-6 in the Padres last 21 road games versus a team with a losing record. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-18-22 | Lightning +1.5 v. Avalanche | 0-7 | Loss | -190 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on TB +1.5. After winning four straight versus the Rangers in the East Final, it was no surprise to see the Lightning suffer a let down in the first period of Game 1. Anrei Vailevskij was lit up for three goals in the first period, but then held the Avs scoreless for the remainder of regulation. Tampa showed plenty of character battling back to tie the game, and we should expect this series to be quite competitive moving forward. The Lightning have won five of their last seven at Colorado, and they are 13-4 in their last 17 playoff games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-17-22 | Winnipeg v. Ottawa OVER 45.5 | 19-12 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. So the defending champs only scored 19 points in a home win over Ottawa in Week 1, but the same two teams face each other in a rematch in Ottawa in Week 2. With both teams already having a game under their belt, we can expect more scoring here in the rematch. The Redblacks have upgraded their QB since last season, bringing in Jeremiah Masoli from Hamilton. Masoli threw for 380 yards and a TD on 24-of-34 passing in Week 1. Some of the trends might point toward an under, but it's noteworthy that the total for this game is much lower than it was in each of the previous 10 head to head meetings. In fact the total was over 50 in eight of the last 10 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-17-22 | Braves -174 v. Cubs | 0-1 | Loss | -174 | 18 h 20 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on ATL. The Braves come into Chicago riding a 14 game win streak, while the Cubs have lost 10 straight. The matchup in Game 1 certainly favors Atlanta. Keegan Thompson will toe the slab for Chicago, and he's been rocked in his last two starts. He allowed 12 runs on eight hits and four walks in just 3 2/3 innings in those games. The Braves hand the ball to Charlie Morton, who is coming off back to back wins. While he allowed eight runs on 11 hits in 11 innings, he also struck out 20 batters in those two games. The Cubs are 6-30 in their last 36 home games versus a team with a winning record. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-16-22 | Warriors v. Celtics -160 | 103-90 | Loss | -160 | 18 h 16 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Boston. There is a meme going around the internet with a picture of referee Tony Brothers, captioned as the Warriors MVP of Game 5. Boston fans certainly feel that the Warriors got the better of the calls, and that it influenced the result of the game. For those who subscribe to conspiracy theories, the idea that the NBA would want Boston to win Game 6 and extend the series to increase revenue isn't all that far fetched. I do expect the home team to get the better of the calls early here in Game 6, and Boston should respond coming off back to back losses. The Celtics are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-16-22 | Phillies -160 v. Nationals | 10-1 | Win | 100 | 20 h 30 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Philly. The Phillies bring an 11-2 run into Game 1 in the nation's capital, and they draw a favorable matchup in Game 1. Zack Wheeler will toe the slab for Philly, and he's on top form. Wheeler (5-3, 2.84 ERA) tossed six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and fanning eight in a home win over Arizona his last time out. The Nats hand the ball to Patrick Corbin, who hasn't missed many bats lately. Corbin (3-8, 6.65 ERA) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings in a win over the Brewers his last time out. The Phillies are 10-1 in the last 11 meetings in Washington. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-15-22 | Lightning v. Avalanche OVER 6 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 74 h 32 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Over. Andrei Vasilevskij has been dominant in these playoffs, but he's shown some rust when coming off a layoff. He allowed five goals on 32 shots in Game 1 versus the Leafs in the first round, and in the Eastern Conference Finals he was torched for six goals on 34 shots in Game 1 in New York. Pavel Francouz allowed five goals on 35 shots in Game 4 versus the Oilers, and it's unclear if the Avs will go back to Darcy Keumper now that he's healthy. The Avs come in averaging 4.64 goals per game in the playoffs, while allowing 2.86 goals per game. The over is 7-2-3 in Colorado's last 12 games playing on 3 or more days rest. I expect both teams to light the lamp early and often in Game 1. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-15-22 | Padres v. Cubs OVER 11.5 | 19-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Padres scored a dozen in a win in Chicago last night, and the weather conditions at Wrigley suggest we should see another slugfest tonight. Ryan Weathers will toe the slab for San Diego, and he hasn't pitched since May. He allowed seven runs on 10 hits over 10 1/3 innings in his last five appearances. The Cubs hand the ball to Caleb Killian, who makes just his second career start. He allowed three runs on three hits and two walks in five innings in a home loss to St. Louis in his major league debut last week. The over is 8-3-1 in the Cubs last 12 games versus a left-handed starter, and they have gone over in four of their last five home games with a total of 11 or higher. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-15-22 | Orioles v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 6-7 | Loss | -133 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 8* play on Toronto. The Blue Jays have split the first two games of this home series versus Baltimore, but they have a favorable matchup in Game 3. Bruce Zimmerman will toe the slab for Baltimore, and he's been brutal this season. He was torched for seven runs on 10 hits over 4 ⅔ innings in a loss to the Royals his last time out. He's 0-3 with a 9.47 ERA in his last five starts. The Blue Jays hand the ball to Jose Berrios, who is 3-0 with a 3.00 ERA in five home starts. He's 3-0 with a 3.52 ERA in his last five starts overall. The Blue Jays are 37-14 in their last 51 games following a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-14-22 | Marlins v. Phillies -140 | 11-9 | Loss | -140 | 18 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Philly. The Phillies walked it off last night for their 10th win in 11 games. They have won seven of their last eight home games. Zach Eflin will toe the slab for Philly, and he's coming off back to back wins. He's allowed just one run on nine hits over 12 innings in his last tow starts. The Marlins hand the ball to Trevor Rogers, who has struggled so far in 2022. Rogers allowed seven runs on four hits and four walks in just 1 2/3 innings in a loss to Philly earlier this year. The Marlins are 17-51 in their last 68 games as a road underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-13-22 | Celtics v. Warriors -160 | 94-104 | Win | 100 | 28 h 5 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on GSW. |

06-12-22 | Mets v. Angels OVER 9 | 4-1 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. So the wind is blowing out in LA, and warm air is expected to improve home run chances. Trout was 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs last night, and he has absolutely owned Taijuan Walker. He's 10-for-16 with three home runs lifetime versus Walker. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-12-22 | Reds v. Cardinals -171 | 7-6 | Loss | -171 | 13 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on STL. The Cardinals walked off with a come from behind 5-4 win over Cincinnati yesterday, and they go for the sweep on Sunday. Dakota Hudson will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's been dominant at home. He's 3-0 with a 1.35 ERA in five home starts, and he tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings in a win over Cincinnati earlier this season. The Reds hand the ball to 24 year old rookie Graham Ashcraft, who has been impressive in four starts. He isn't likely going to pitch nine innings, or drive in runs, so a Cincinnati team with an 8-22 road record is still in a tough spot here. The Reds are 8-24 in their last 32 games as a road underdog, and the Cardinals are 42-18 in their last 60 games as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-12-22 | Rangers v. White Sox -150 | 8-6 | Loss | -150 | 13 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Chisox. The Sox have split the first two games of this home series versus Texas, but they appear to have a favorable matchup in Game 3. Jon Gray will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he hasn't missed many bats lately. He's 0-3 with a 5.94 in seven starts on the road. The Sox hand the ball to Michael Kopech, who has been brilliant at home. He's 1-1 with a 1.61 ERA in five home starts, and he tossed six scoreless innings in a home win over the Dodgers in his last start. Chicago has won seven of the last eight head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-12-22 | Orioles v. Royals OVER 9.5 | 10-7 | Win | 100 | 13 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over The Royals hand the ball to Brad Keller, who hasn't missed many bats lately. He's 0-4 with a 6.00 ERA in his last five starts. The over is 9-4 in Royals last 13 home games, and the over is 8-2 in their last 10 home games versus Baltimore. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-11-22 | Rangers v. Lightning UNDER 5.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 19 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Under (1P). The goaltending in this series has been phenomenal, and we expect that to continue here in Game 6. We all know how important a Game 5 is in a playoff series. Historically, the team that wins Game 5 will have better than a 79 percent chance to win the series. With such high stakes, don't expect a lot of high quality chances early here. Tampa was up 1-0 after the first period in Game 4, after a scoreless first in Game 3. The under is 8-1 in Lightning last nine overall, and the under is 11-3-1 in the Rangers last 15 playoff games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-11-22 | Hamilton v. Saskatchewan UNDER 49.5 | 13-30 | Win | 100 | 18 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Ticats are in Saskatchewan for their season opener, and history tells us that we should expect a low score. The under is 6-1 in the last seven head to head meetings, and the Ticats lost 19-6 in their season opener versus Winnipeg last year. The under is 14-6 in the Tiger-Cats last 20 games overall, and they have gone under in 20 of their last 28 season openers. They have also failed to reach the total in 14 of their last 19 in the first month of the season. Hamilton lost their most dynamic playmaker on offense when Brandon Banks signed with Toronto, and they are 3-18-1 ATS in their last 22 meetings in Saskatchewan. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-11-22 | Rangers v. White Sox UNDER 8 | 11-9 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The White Sox won Game 1 of this home series versus Texas by a score of 8-3, but we expect Game 2 to be a pitcher's duel. Lucas Giolito will toe the slab for the Sox, and he's been outstanding in Chicago. He's 2-1 with a 2.37 ERA in three home starts. The Rangers hand the ball to Martin Perez, who ranks second in the majors with a 1.56 ERA. He's 3-0 with a 1.03 ERA in his last five starts. The under is 9-3-2 in the Rangers last 14 games as an underdog, and the White Sox have gone under in 21 of their last 27 home games versus a souithpaw. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-10-22 | Warriors +150 v. Celtics | 107-97 | Win | 150 | 19 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on GSW. The Warriors appeared to be overmatched in Game 1 of these Finals, but they flipped a switch in Game 2 and looked like a completely different team. They will have to do the same here in Game 4 in Boston, after getting blown out in the fourth quarter again in Game 3. The Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss, while the Celtics haven't won consecutive home games since the first round versus Brooklyn. Boston has failed to cover in four of their last five following a win of 10 points or more. The Warriors are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-10-22 | Orioles v. Royals OVER 9.5 | 1-8 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 2 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Royals hand the ball to Jonathan Heasley, who is 0-2 with a 4.91 ERA in two home starts. His control has been an issue, walking 18 batters in just 25 ⅓ innings. The over is 8-3 in Royals last 11 home games, and the over is 7-1 in their last eight home games versus Baltimore. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-09-22 | Montreal v. Calgary UNDER 48 | 27-30 | Loss | -110 | 90 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Under. It's typical to see low scoring games in the first few weeks of the CFL season, but last year we saw scoring down overall. That's particularly true for Calgary as the Stamps ranked second in the West in scoring defense. The Als ranked second in the East in scoring defense. These two teams have gone under in nine of the last 13 head to head meetings. The under is 13-5 in the Stampeders last 18 games in June, and the under is 19-3 in the Alouettes last 22 games in June. Calgary held the Elks to just seven points in their final game of the pre-season. GL, Jesse Schule |
