06-28-23 | Nationals v. Mariners -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on SEA. The Mariners have split the first two games of this series, but they have a favorable matchup in the rubber match. Logan Gilbert will toe the slab for Seattle, and he's been far better than his record would indicate. He's 5-4 with a 4.07 ERA, but his WHIP of 1.02. The Nats hand the ball to Patrick Corbin, who hasn't missed many bats lately. He's been torched for 11 runs on 18 hits in 11 innings in his last two starts. The Mariners are 14-3 in their last 17 home games versus a left-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-27-23 | Marlins v. Red Sox OVER 9 | 10-1 | Win | 100 | 27 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Red Sox host the Marlins in Interleague play Tuesday, and I think we can expect plenty of scoring. Sandy Alcantara will toe the slab for the Fish, and he's struggled this season. He's been torched for 10 runs on 10 hits in 12 ⅓ innings in his last two starts. The Red Sox hand the ball to Gattett Whitlock, who has solid numbers overall. The over is 18-7-2 in the Red Sox last 27 games following an off day, and they have gone over in seven of their last nine home games. Take over. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-26-23 | Fever v. Aces OVER 171.5 | 80-88 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 42 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Over. The Las Vegas are in a league of their own, with a 12-1 record in this season. They lead the WNBA in scoring averaging over 93 points per game. They are coming off a 101-88 home win over Indiana, and the bookmakers have not adjusted the total here for the second game of this series. These teams played three games in 2022, and all three of those games went under. The total in those games was far higher than it is in tonight's game. Indiana is one of just three teams that score 80+ points, and allow over 80 points per game. The over is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings in Las Vegas. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-25-23 | Toronto -6.5 v. Edmonton Elks | 43-31 | Win | 100 | 136 h 47 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TOR. The Argos are defending champs, coming off an impressive home win at Hamilton in Week 2. They visit Edmonton, a team that has lost 18 straight home games dating back to 2019. The Elks are coming off a shutout loss to the B.C. Lions last week, and it seems like you're trying to re-invent the wheel if you're looking for the Elks to snap an epic losing streak here. Taylor Corneilius thre for 98 yards and a pick on 13-of-23 passing last week, and it's no surprise that the Elks rank dead last in the CFL in scoring. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-25-23 | Rangers v. Yankees UNDER 7.5 | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
This is a 5* play on Under. Runs have been hard to come by at Yankee Stadium lately, with the total going under in 10 of the last 12 in the Bronx. Nate Eovaldi will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and the former Yankee is having a career year. He's 6-1 with a 2.37 ERA in nine starts on the road. The Yankees hand the ball to Gerrit Cole, who was waving his finger at the Mariners in his last start. He's 5-1 with a 2.60 ERA in 10 home starts. The under is 19-7-2 in the last 28 meetings, and they have gone under in five straight in New York. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-24-23 | Mercury v. Storm OVER 158 | 74-97 | Win | 100 | 19 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Over. The Seattle Storm only have three wins this season, but one of them came against the Phoenix Mercury. They host the Mercury Satruday, and Phoenix is coming off four straight losses, but they didn't have Britney Griner in those games. Griner is expected to return tonight, and that should effect the scoring for the visitors. While the last game between these teams fell short of the number, Griner only played nine minutes in that contest. Four of the previous five meetings had gone over the total. Tonight's number is also five points lower than it was in the last meeting. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-24-23 | Houston Dynamo v. Austin OVER 2.5 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 42 m | Show |
This is a 4* play on Over. Don't look now but the Houston Dynamos are starting to live up to their name. They are one of the hottest teams in MLS, winning four straight and scoring a total of 13 goals in those games. Austin F.C. comes into this Texas showdown off a 3-0 win over Dallas, and they have gone over in five straight matches overall. Get ready for another shootout in Texas. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-24-23 | Astros v. Dodgers OVER 8.5 | 7-8 | Win | 100 | 15 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Dodgers have gone under in three straight, and their bullpen has been excellent during that span. That's just a small sample size though, and in hitter friendly conditions in LA with two rookie starters, I like the over in Game 2. The over is 7-1-1 in the Dodgers last nine in Game 2 of a series. Bobby Miller looked sharp in his first four starts for the Dodgers, but the rookie was rocked for seven runs on seven hits and three walks in a 15-0 loss to the Giants in his last start. Ronel Blanco is also coming off a rough outing, giving up five runs on seven hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings in a 9-7 loss to Cincinnati. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-24-23 | Red Sox -107 v. White Sox | 4-5 | Loss | -107 | 24 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Bosox. Boston is hot and the White Sox are not, and I like the pitching matchup here for the visitors. James Paxton will toe the slab for the Sox, and he's 2-2 with a 2.22 ERA in his last four starts. He allowed three runs on three hits, striking out seven in 6 2/3 innings in a win at Minnesota his last time out. The Chisox hand the ball to Lance Lynn, and he hasn't missed many bats this season. Lynn (4-8, 6.51 ERA) has struggled over his last five starts going 1-3 with an ERA of 7.00. The Red Sox are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Chicago. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-23-23 | Montreal +2 v. Hamilton | 38-12 | Win | 100 | 88 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Montreal. Hamilton made a splash when they acquired Bo Levi Mitchell to be their starting quarterback, but he will not take the field here at home in Week 3. It will be backup Matthew Shiltz will take over, and he's thrown as many picks (13)as he has TDs in his career. The Als are coming off a bye, and their defense looked solid in a Week 1 win over Ottawa. They have a solid running game with Cody Fajardo and William Stanback. Fajardo threw for just 261 yards and no TDs in Week 1, but he was accurate and he moved the ball. I think the books have the wrong team favored here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-23-23 | Brewers v. Guardians -141 | 7-1 | Loss | -141 | 17 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CLE. Cleveland sits just a game out of first place in the AL Central, and they look good as a medium sized favorite here at home in Game 1 versus Milwaukee. Shane Bieber will toe the slab for The Tribe, and he's 4-1 with a 1.89 ERA in six home starts. The Brewers hand the ball to Wade Miley, who has decent numbers but has only pitched five innings in the last five weeks. The Brewers are 0-6 in their last six Inter-League games, and the Guardians are 9-2 in their last 11 games versus a left-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-22-23 | BC v. Winnipeg UNDER 49 | Top | 30-6 | Win | 100 | 65 h 6 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Under. In the first two weeks of the season, only two of eight games saw more than 46 combined points. Of course both of those games were blowout wins for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The BC Lions might make life a little more difficult for the Bombers. BC comes in allowing just 7.5 points per game, fresh off a shutout win over Edmonton. The Lions have gone under in five straight road games, and the under is 15-6 in the Bombers last 21 home games. These teams have failed to reach the total in four straight meetings in Winnipeg. Both teams are banged up, with several key offensive players expected to miss this week's game. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-22-23 | A's v. Guardians -164 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Cleveland. The A's had their nice little seven game winning streak, but they have since lost seven in a row. They still rank dead last in the majors with only 19 wins. Logan Allen will toe the slab for Cleveland, and he's 3-2 with a 3.95 ERA so far this season. The A's hand the ball to JP Sears, who is 1-3 with a 5.23 ERA in eight road starts. The Athletics are 2-10 in the last 12 meetings, and they have lost five of six at Cleveland. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-21-23 | New York City FC v. Atlanta United -130 | Top | 2-2 | Loss | -130 | 66 h 21 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Atlanta F.C. Atlanta is undefeated in their last five matches, while New York City comes in winless in their last five overall. New York City was fortunate to score on a penalty in injury time to salvage a 1-1 draw in their last match. Home field advantage should come into play here, as Atlanta has a +16 goal differential at home while New York City is -6 on the road. Atlanta has scored 10 goals in their last three home matches. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-21-23 | Royals v. Tigers -119 | 4-9 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on DET. Raise your hand if you predicted the Royals 1-0 win in Detroit in Game 2. Put your hand down you bloody liar! Kansas City is 3-15 in their last 18 games overall, so winning back to back games on the road sure seems unlikely here. Brady Singer will toe the rubber for the Royals, and he's 2-2 with a 7.20 ERA in five starts on the road. He allowed five runs on seven hits and four walks in 3 1/3 innings in his last start versus the Tigers. The Royals are 5-18 in their last 23 games versus a left-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-21-23 | Rockies v. Reds -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CIN. The Reds are still the hottest team in baseball, their 8-6 win over Colorado in Game 2 makes it 10 straight wins. Andrew Abbott will toe the rubber for the Reds, and he's 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA in three career starts. The Rockies hand the ball to Connor Seabold, who was rocked for nine runs on nine hits and four home runs in just three innings in his last start. He's 0-3 with a 6.59 ERA in his last six starts. The Rockies are 1-9 in the last 10 meetings in Cincinnati. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-21-23 | Cubs -112 v. Pirates | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Cubs. Chicago is hot, and the Pirates are not. Pittsburgh has lost eight straight overall while the Cubs have won seven of eight. Kyle Hendricks will toe the slab for Chicago, and he's 2-2 with a 3.18 ERA in five starts. The Pirates hand the ball to Rich Hill, who is 2-3 with a 5.10 ERA in his last five starts. The Cubs are 10-1 in the last 11 meetings, and they have won five of their last six in Steel Town. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-20-23 | Rockies v. Reds -162 | 6-8 | Win | 100 | 19 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CIN. The Reds are the hottest team in baseball, coming into Game 2 of this home series versus Colorado as winners of nine straight. Kyle Freeland will toe the rubber for the Rockies, and he's 1-5 with a 5.92 ERA in seven road starts. The Reds hand the ball to Ben Lively, who is 2-2 with a 3.74 ERA in four home starts. The Rockies are 1-8 in the last nine meetings in Cincinnati. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-20-23 | Royals v. Tigers -139 | 1-0 | Loss | -139 | 19 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on DET. The Tigers are hot, and the Royals are not. Detroit comes into Game 2 as winners of four of five, while Kansas City has lost 12-of-13. Michael Lorenzen will toe the slab for the Tigers, and he's looking to snap a three game losing streak. The Tigers did win four of his five starts in May. The Royals hand the ball to Daniel Lynch, who is 0-3 with a 5.79 ERA in four starts. The Tigers have won six of their last seven versus Kansas City. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-20-23 | Blue Jays v. Marlins -108 | 2-0 | Loss | -108 | 18 h 25 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MIA. The slumping Blue Jays got hammered in Game 1 in Miami, and they face a hot pitcher in Game 2 tonight. Eury Perez will toe the slab for the Fish, and he's 3-1 with a 1.42 ERA in his last five starts. The Jays hand the ball to Yusei Kikuchi who is 1-1 with a 4.74 ERA in his last five starts. The Marlins are 10-1 in their last 11 interleague home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-19-23 | Royals v. Tigers -142 | Top | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 18 h 15 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Tigers. Detroit is coming off a 3-1 series win at Minnesota, and the Tigers are just five games out of first place in the Central. A home game against the Royals looks like a good spot for them to keep the momentum going. Jordan Lyles will toe the rubber for the Royals, and he has been on the wrong end of 14 straight. Never mind the 6.89 ERA, the Royals are 0-14 in his 14 starts. The Tigers hand the ball to Reese Olson, who is also looking for his first win. With a WHIP of 1.05, Olson has shown some promise. The Royals have lost five of their last six versus the Tigers. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-18-23 | Hamilton v. Toronto UNDER 47 | 14-32 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. Low scores at the beginning of the season are nothing new in the CFL, so it comes as no surprise that five of seven games have failed to reach the total so far. One of the two games that did go over the number was the Ticats loss to Winnipeg in Week 1. Hamilton scored 31 points in that game, but most of that scoring came in garbage time. They trailed 29-4 at halftime, and Bo Levi Mitchell threw for just 200 yards, 1 TD and 2 INT on 17-of-33 passing in the loss. Mitchell has the lowest completion percentage in the CFL after Week 1. The under is 16-7 in the Tiger-Cats last 23 games in June, and the under is 17-4 in the Argonauts last 21 games in June. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-18-23 | Giants v. Dodgers OVER 8 | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The conditions at Dodger Stadium have been advantageous to hitters this week, and that may continue here today. Tony Gonsolin will toe the slab for LA, and he's been solid as always. He's 3-0 with a 1.66 ERA in four home starts, but he normally only goes five innings. Plenty of damage can be done in the later innings against this Dodgers bullpen. The Giants hand the ball to Logan Webb, who has been hit hard by LA. The Dodgers lineup is batting a combined .320 over 125 at bats versus Webb. The over is 5-0-1 in the last six meetings in Los Angeles. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-18-23 | Guardians v. Diamondbacks OVER 9 | 12-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The D'Backs have won the first two games of this home series versus Cleveland, and we are expecting a slugfest in Game 3. Zach Davies will toe the slab for Arizona, and he's 0-2 with a 7.71 ERA in four home starts. Cleveland will hand the ball to Tanner Bibee, who is 0-1 with a 5.75 ERA in four road starts. The over is 5-1-2 in the Diamondbacks last eight games versus a right-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-17-23 | Portland v. San Jose UNDER 2.5 | 0-0 | Win | 100 | 18 h 7 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Portland Timber have scored just two goals in their last five matches, playing to a scoreless draw twice during that span. The San Jose Earthquakes have scored just five goals in their last five matches, and they have a couple of draws during that span. The draw looks likely in this game, whether scoreless or 1-1. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-17-23 | Giants v. Dodgers -140 | 15-0 | Loss | -140 | 15 h 48 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on LAD. The Dodgers lost in extra innings last night, but they have a favorable matchup in Game 2 tonight. Bobby Miller will toe the slab for LA, and he's been lights out so far. The kid has a record of 3-0 with a 0.78 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP in four starts. The Giants hand the ball to Alex Wood, and the former Dodger is coming off the DL after missing a few weeks with a sore back. The Giants are 2-9 in the last 11 meetings in Los Angeles. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-17-23 | Edmonton Elks v. BC -7 | Top | 0-22 | Win | 100 | 15 h 10 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on BC. Surely the Edmonton Elks have to be better than they were a year ago. They ranked dead last in the CFL in scoring defense, and it wasn't even close. This is a tough spot for the Elks on the road, facing a BC team that has won the last four meetings by an average margin of 32 points. Vernon Adams Jr. might not be Nathan Rourke, but throwing for 300 yards, 2 TDs and an INT in a blowout win at Calgary in Week 1 is a positive sign. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-17-23 | Reds v. Astros OVER 8 | 10-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The D'Backs won a low scoring game with their ace on the mound in Game 1, but today's pitching matchup might allow more scoring. Shane Beiber will toe the slab for Cleveland, and he's not the same guy that won a Cy Young a few year back. He's 1-2 with a 4.35 ERA in eight starts on the road this season. The D'Backs hand the ball to Tommy Henry, who is 2-0 with a 4.70 ERA in his last five starts. Needless to say, he's been getting plenty of run support. The over is 33-16-1 in Diamondbacks last 50 interleague games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-17-23 | Orioles v. Cubs OVER 7.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The wind is blowing in at Wrigley, and we see a low total for this game. As of midnight before day the weather report calls for light winds, and I am not sure the low number is justified. Justin Steele will toe the slab for Chicago, and he has nice stats on the season. He was winless in his last four starts, and spent a few weeks on the DL with a sore elbow. Who knows what we can expect from him today. The Orioles hand the ball to Kyle Gibson, who is 4-0 with a 2.61 ERA in his last five starts. His batter versus pitcher stats here are alarming. The Cubs lineup has hit a combined .365 over 89 at bats versus Gibson. The Cubs have gone over in five straight overall, and six of their last eight versus a right-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-16-23 | Rays -113 v. Padres | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 17 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TB. The Rays come into San Diego off back to back wins, following a couple shocking losses in the first two games of a series in Oakland. Lets not forget that this is still the best team in baseball. Shane McClannahan will toe the slab for Tampa, and he's 10-1 with a 2.18 ERA. The Padres hand the ball to Yu Darvish, who has posted an ERA over 6.00 in his last five starts. The Rays are 9-1 in the last 10 meetings, and they have won five of their last six in San Diego. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-16-23 | Blue Jays -137 v. Rangers | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 16 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TOR. The Blue Jays look good with their ace on the mound in Game 1 at Texas. Kevin Gausman comes in on top form, going 3-0 with a 2.79 ERA in his last six starts. The Rangers hand the ball to Martin Perez, who was rocked for seven runs on 10 hits and three walks in just 3 1/3 innings in his last start. The Blue Jays are 9-4 in their last 13 overall, while Texas has lost six of eight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-16-23 | Cardinals -108 v. Mets | 1-6 | Loss | -108 | 15 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on STL. The Cardinals are sitting in last place in the Central, and the Mets are not much better off in the NL East. I like the Cardinals here in Game 1 with Miles Mikolas on the mound. Mikolas (4-3, 4.02 ERA) comes in on top form, going 2-2 with a 2.73 ERA in his last five starts. He's also been better on the road than he has been at home, going 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA in seven road starts. The Mets hand the ball to Tylor Megill, who is 1-2 with a 7.15 ERA in his last five starts. The Mets are 2-9 in their last 11 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-15-23 | Angels v. Rangers -138 | 5-3 | Loss | -138 | 14 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Texas. The Angels have won two of three in this series in Texas, but the Rangers look good to earn a split with a win in Game 4. Shohei Ohtani will toe the slab for LA, and he's been pretty mediocre of late. He's 0-1 with a 3.52 ERA in his last four starts. The Rangers hand the ball to Nate Eovaldi, who isn't quite the superstar that Ohtani is. It's Eovaldi who is having the better season though, and he's 4-0 with a 2.16 ERA in his last five starts. The Rangers are 9-3 in their last 12 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-15-23 | Calgary v. Ottawa +6.5 | 26-15 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
This is 4* play on OTT. I am not big on either of these two teams, but with money coming in on Calgary I'll take the points here with the home dog. It's a battle between two former Stampeders backups, who each played behind Bo Levi Mitchell. Neither of them had much success in Week 1, and we should expect another low scoring game here in Ottawa. The Stamps will miss leading rusher Kadeem Carey, and I am not convinced that this offense is good enough to be favored by a TD. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-15-23 | Dream v. Sun -7.5 | 92-88 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the Suns. Connecticut is 8-2 overall, and one of their wins came against the defending champion Las Vegas Aces. They won by a dozen at Atlanta in their last game, and they are asked to cover just a single digit spread in a home game against the Dream. History favors the Suns who have won seven straight against Atlanta, with all seven of those wins coming by double digits. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-14-23 | Blue Jays v. Orioles OVER 8.5 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -120 | 14 h 31 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Over. We saw a slugfest at Camden Yards last night, and I expect more of the same here tonight. Jose Berrios will toe the slab for Toronto, and as good as he's been of late, I can't overlook a career full of dramatic split stats that suggest he struggles on the road. The Orioles lineup is hitting .318 over a combined 110 at bats against Berrios. The Orioles hand the ball to Kyle Bradish, who has also been looking sharp in recent starts. With him I can't overlook the fact that the Jays are batting a combined .384 against in him in 73 at bats. The over is 18-5-3 in the last 26 meetings in Baltimore. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-13-23 | Panthers v. Golden Knights UNDER 6 | 3-9 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
This is 4* play on Under. It's Deja Vu all over again! I said prior to last night's NBA Finals game that the under was 8-2 in the final game of the NBA Finals over the last 10 years. History tells us that the final game of the NHL Finals has gone under in 9-of-10 over the last 10 years. The under is 10-3 in the Panthers last 13 overall, and goals will be hard to come by in this elimination game. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-13-23 | Brewers +110 v. Twins | 5-7 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the Brewers. Both these teams have been mediocre at best, but at the end of the day this game features a Cy Young winner versus a Journeyman pitcher. Injuries to several key players for the Twins is also a huge factor. While Corbin Burnes might not be having a Cy Young season, he's been very consistent. Pablo Lopez has been solid at times, but the fact is that he has an ERA of 6.11 at home. The Twins are 3-7 in their last 10 during game 1 of a series. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-12-23 | Heat v. Nuggets UNDER 209.5 | 89-94 | Win | 100 | 19 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Finals are expected to come to a conclusion tonight, and if that's the case there is a trend of low scores in closeout games in the NBA Finals over the last 10 seasons. The under is 8-2 in the last 10 closeout games in the Finals, and the majority of those games went under 200 combined points. The Heat have failed to score 100 points in three of four games in this series, and they are averaging 99 points per game in their last eight in the playoffs. Seven of those games went under the total. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-11-23 | Saskatchewan v. Edmonton Elks OVER 45 | 17-13 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Elks allowed a CFL worst 599 points last season, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders were the 2nd worst in the league defensively. Both teams look to have improved offensively in the off-season, and the total for their season opener looks a little low. The total in all three of last year's meetings was over 48 .. and they went over in two of three games. We should see both teams do some scoring here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-11-23 | Mercury v. Fever -157 | 85-82 | Loss | -157 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the FEVER. At first glance you see that Indiana has lost three of their last four overall, and back to back home games. A closer look reveals that they lost by just five points versus Chicago, by four points versus the WNBA best Las Vegas Aces, and by just three on the road at Connecticut. They host a Phoenix team tonight that is 0-3 on the road, and their only win came against the worst team in the WNBA. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-11-23 | Mariners v. Angels -110 | 4-9 | Win | 100 | 13 h 3 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on LAA. The Halos have won five of six, and after splitting the first two games of this series they look good in the rubber match Sunday. Bryce Miller will toe the slab for Seattle, and he's really come unglued. He's been torched for 15 runs on 19 hits over seven innings in his last two starts. The Angels hand the ball to Griffin Canning, who is 2-1 with a 2.59 ERA in his last four starts. The Mariners are 3-9 in their last 12 road games, and they have lost four of their last five at LA. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-11-23 | Wings +8.5 v. Liberty | 93-102 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Dallas. The Liberty are just 3-7 straight up in their last 10 versus Dallas, and only one of those wins came by more than seven points. Dallas is coming off back to back wins over Phoenix, but prior to that they lost three of four. Those losses all came in games decided by six points or less. The Liberty blew a 19-point lead in an 89-82 loss to Chicago in their last home game. I'll take the points here with Dallas. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-10-23 | Columbus v. Chicago Fire OVER 2.5 | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 56 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. Both these teams have scored 20 or more goals as well as conceded 20 or more goals. The last time the Crew played at Chicago they won by a score of 3-2, and I am expecting both teams to score here in this match.The Crew have gone over in four of their last five matches, and Chicago is coming off a 4-1 loss at home versus Houston. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-10-23 | Golden Knights v. Panthers OVER 5.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 15 h 54 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Golden Knights were just two minutes away from a 3-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals, but Matthew Tkatchuck had other ideas. He tied the game, and the Panthers went on to win in OT. We can expect the Knights to come out like ganbusters in Game 4, and I think we see a higher score. The over is 4-1 in the Golden Knights last five Stanley Cup Finals games, and the Panthers have gone over in four of their last five versus teams from the Western Conference. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-10-23 | Ottawa v. Montreal -140 | 12-19 | Win | 100 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MTL. The home team has won nine of the last 10 meetings in this series, and the Redblacks come into this game without their #1 quarterback. Nick Arbuckle will start for Ottawa, and he's coming off a 2022 season when he threw for 14 INTs and just six TDs. Ottawa ranked dead last in scoring in the CFL last year, and it's asking a lot for Arbuckle to come in Week 1 and turn things around. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-10-23 | Dodgers v. Phillies -103 | 9-0 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Phillies. The Phillies have won six straight, and they look good here in Game 2 versus the Dodgers. Aaron Nola will toe the slab for the Phillies, and he's coming off a real gem. He struck out a dozen and gave up just one hit in seven innings in a home win over the Tigers his last time out. The Dodgers hand the ball to Bobby Miller, who is off to a stellar start to his career. The 24 year old will try to match serves against Nola in a tough spot today. The Phillies are 9-3 in their last 12 home games versus a right-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-10-23 | Mets v. Pirates OVER 9 | 5-1 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Pirates won Game 1 by a score of 14-7, and another slugfest should be expected today. Kodai Senga will toe the slab for the Metropolitians, and he's really struggled on the road. He's 3-1 at home with a sub 2.00 ERA but he's just 2-2 on the road with an ERA over 6.00. The Pirates hand the ball to Johan Oviedo, who has been hit hard at times this season. He's 2-2 with a 4.04 ERA in six home starts. The over is 14-5 in the last 19 meetings, and the Mets have gone over in five of their last six in Steel Town. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-09-23 | Nuggets v. Heat OVER 210.5 | 108-95 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The total for Game 1 was sitting at 219, and it has been trending lower every game. Now in Game 4 the number sits at just 210.5, after Miami shot just 37 percent from the field in Game 3. We should expect some positive regression for Miami, and I think they score 100+ here tonight. It's tough to see anything different from Denver as the mismatch with Jokic is just something that isn't going to change. The over is 13-5 in Heat's last 18 games following a double-digit loss at home. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-09-23 | Hamilton v. Winnipeg UNDER 47.5 | 31-42 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. Points could be hard to come by in Winnipeg on Opening Night. These teams have failed to reach the total in eight of the last 10 meetings, and six straight in Winnipeg. The Bombers have owned the top defense in the CFL several seasons in a row. The under is 23-9 in Blue Bombers last 32 home games, and the under is 21-8 in the Tiger-Cats last 29 games in Week 1. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-09-23 | Diamondbacks v. Tigers UNDER 8.5 | 11-6 | Loss | -120 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Tigers rank dead last in the majors in runs scored, and we can expect a pitcher's duel in the Motor City in Game 1. Merrill Kelly will toe the slab for Arizona, and he's 4-0 with a 1.63 ERA five starts on the road. Detroit will hand the ball to Michael Lorenzen, who is 2-0 with a 2.66 ERA in four home starts, and 1-1 with a 1.95 ERA in his last five starts overall. The under is 8-4 in Kelly's 12 starts this season. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-08-23 | BC +3 v. Calgary | 25-15 | Win | 100 | 16 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on BC. I am optimistic about Vernon Adams Jr. taking over for Nathan Rourke. He steps into a far better situation than in previous years in Montreal. The Lions had the league's best offense last year, and many of those pieces are still in place heading into 2023. Dominic Rhymes, Lucky Whitehead and Jevon Cottoy were all productive last year. The Stampeders also have a new QB, and Jake Maier looked good after taking over from Bo Levi Mitchell last year. He could be in a tough spot in Week 1 with a couple of offensive lineman and a key receiver expected to miss the opener. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-08-23 | Golden Knights v. Panthers -118 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 15 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on FLA. The Panthers have their backs against the wall here in Game 3, but history is on their side. Over the last 25 years teams that have trailed 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals are 10-5 straight up in Game 3. I expect Bobrovsky to bounce back after being pulled, and I think this will be a chippy, physical game and that might favor the home team. GL, Jesse Schule. |
|||||||
06-08-23 | Mets v. Braves -165 | 10-13 | Win | 100 | 15 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on ATL. The Mets lost Pete Alonso after he was hit by a pitch in last night's game. X-Rays came back negative but he isn't likely to play here in Game 3. Alonso leads the majors in home runs, and he's 4th in RBIs, so it's a big loss if he can't play. Spencer Strider will toe the slab for Atlanta, and he's 6-2 with a 2.97 ERA and a WHIP of 1.00. The Mets hand the ball to Justin Verlander, who is 1-1 with a 4.76 ERA on the road (3 starts). New York has lost five straight overall, and they have lost six straight at Atlanta. The Braves are 8-1 in the last nine meetings between the two teams. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-07-23 | Cubs v. Angels -126 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on LAA. Both these teams are struggling, but they come into Game 2 in LA trending in opposite directions. LA has won back to back games, while the Cubs are coming off back to back losses. Jameson Taillon will toe the slab for Chicago, and he's 1-1 with an 8.55 ERA in his last five starts. The Angels hand the ball to Jaime Barria, who is 1-1 with a 0.66 ERA in his last four appearances. The Cubs are 5-16 in their last 21 road games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-07-23 | Nuggets -135 v. Heat | 109-94 | Win | 100 | 53 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Denver. Before this series started the Denver Nuggets were an overwhelming favorite to win the series. They won comfortably in Game 1, and it quickly became apparent that Miami had no answers for the Joker. The Nuggets were up by eight heading into the 4th quarter of Game 2, but the Heat went on a run and ended up winning 111-108. Miami shot out the lights, hitting 48.6 percent from beyond the arc. This is an outlier, well above their playoff average of 39 percent in the post-season. Miami certainly can't count on hitting half of their three-point attempts moving forward, and they still can't stop the Joker. Denver shot 52 percent from the field in Game 2, and Joker scored 41 points on 16-of-28 shooting. The Nuggets simply need to crank up their effort on defense, and I expect them to do just that in Game 3 in Miami. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-07-23 | Mercury v. Wings -165 | 79-84 | Win | 100 | 13 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the Dallas Wings. The Phoenix Mercury are coming off an overtime loss at home to the LA Sparks, and their only win this season has come against the last place Minnesota Lynx. Dallas is 3-3 overall but they have won both their home games. Only first place Las Vegas aces have scored more points per game in the WNBA this season than Dallas. The Mercury are 1-8 ATS in their last nine road games, and the Wings are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-06-23 | Sparks v. Storm OVER 166 | 63-66 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Over. The Seattle Storm are still winless, and they have been really poor defensively. They rank dead last in the WNBA in opponent's scoring average allowing 94.5 points per game. They host an LA Sparks team that ranks 2nd in the WNBA in scoring averaging 87 points per game. The Storm have gone over in six straight, and the Sparks have gone over in seven of their last eight. These teams have gone over in four straight head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-06-23 | Cardinals v. Rangers -141 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 3* play on Texas. The Rangers come into Game 2 of this series as winners of 10 of their last 12 overall, and they lead the major leagues in runs scored, team batting average and on base percentage. Dane Dunning will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he's 2-0 with a 1.47 ERA in five appearances at home. The Cardinals hand the ball to Mark Liberatore, who makes just his third start of the season. He was 0-2 with an 8.06 ERA in six appearances on the road last season. The Cardinals are 1-9 in the last 10 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-06-23 | Dodgers -183 v. Reds | 8-9 | Loss | -183 | 18 h 54 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on LAD. The Dodgers are in unfamiliar territory sitting in second place in the NL West, just half a game back of Arizona. Tony Gonsolin will toe the slab for LA on Tuesday, and he's 1-1 with a 1.35 ERA in four starts on the road. The Reds hand the ball to Luke Weaver, who is 1-2 with a 5.36 ERA in eight starts this season. The Dodgers are 40-16 in their last 56 games following a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-06-23 | A's v. Pirates -222 | 11-2 | Loss | -222 | 18 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the Pirates. The Oakland A's are quite possibly the worst team to ever play in the Major Leagues. They play on the road at Pittsburgh Tuesday, and the Pirates are in first place in the NL Central. Mitch Keller will toe the slab for Pittsburgh, and he's 3-0 with a 2.18 ERA in five home starts. The A's hand the ball to James Kapriellian, who is 0-2 with a 10.32 ERA in four appearances on the road. The Athletics are 10-47 in their last 57 overall, and they have lost six straight Inter-League road games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-05-23 | Panthers v. Golden Knights -131 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 18 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Vegas. I had Vegas in Game 1, and here is what I said prior to the game: "The Stanley Cup is the oldest trophy in professional sports. Going back more than a century, only once has a #8 seed won the Stanley Cup, and only three times has a team ranked lower than a #4 seed won a Stanley Cup. The Golden Knights are the #1 seed in the Western Conference, and if history is any indication you have to love their chances here. The Panthers have been riding a hot goaltender, and the feisty play of Matthew Tkatchuk. A 10 day layoff prior to this series could be a huge momentum killer for the visitors. I like the Knights to get off to a good start on home ice in Game 1." I will come back with the home favorite here in Game 2. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-05-23 | Cardinals v. Rangers -131 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 19 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Texas. The Rangers are coming off a three game sweep of the Mariners, and they scored 28 runs in the last two games of that series. They host the Cardinals Monday, and they are just a small favorite. Adam Wainwright will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's looked every bit his age (41). He's allowed nine runs on 15 hits over 10 2/3 innings in two road starts. The Rangers hand the ball to Martin Perez, who is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA in three home starts so far in 2023. The Cardinals are 7-21 in their last 28 during game 1 of a series. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-05-23 | A's v. Pirates -184 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 18 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Pirates. The Oakland A's are quite possibly the worst team to ever play in the Major Leagues. They play on the road at Pittsburgh Monday, and the Pirates are a half a game out of first place in the NL Central. Johan Oviedo will toe the slab for Pittsburgh, and he's held opponents to just one earned run in three of his last four starts. The A's hand the ball to JP Sears, who despite some stellar outings remains 0-3 with a 5.97 ERA in six starts on the road. The Athletics are 10-46 in their last 56 overall, and they have lost five straight Inter-League road games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-04-23 | Heat v. Nuggets OVER 214 | 111-108 | Win | 100 | 62 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. One of the stories in Game 1 was the Heat attempting an NBA Playoff record low two free throws. This is one of the factors that resulted in such a low score. Here is what I said prior to the game: "The Miami Heat lead the playoffs in three-point shooting, hitting 39 percent from beyond the arc. The Nuggets aren't far behind hitting 38.6 percent of their three-point attempts. The Heat come in averaging 112 points per game while Denver has averaged 116 points per game in the playoffs. The Joker has put up incredible numbers, averaging 29.9 points, 13.3 rebounds and 10.3 assists. He's put up those numbers against the best defenders in the NBA. The Heat rank near the bottom in the NBA in rebounds per game, and have one of the league's smallest starting lineups. I expect Joker to put up video game numbers in this series, and I like the total to go over in Game 1." The total for Game 2 is several points lower than it was in Game 1, and I expect the Heat to get to the free throw line more often, and hit more threes in Game 2. Whatever the Heat do, I can't see them stopping Joker. I''l take the over here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-04-23 | Tigers v. White Sox -168 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CWS. The Tigers have scored just one run in the first two games of this series, and they are on the verge of being swept. Matthew Boyd will toe the slab for Detroit in Game 3, and he's struggled against the White Sox. Chicago's lineup has hit a combined .336 over 128 at bats versus Boyd. The Sox hand the ball to Michael Kopech, who is 3-2 with a 3.00 ERA in his last five starts. The Tigers are 8-22 in the last 30 meetings in Chicago. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-04-23 | Rockies +1.5 v. Royals | 0-2 | Loss | -158 | 12 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on COL. The Royals are a favorite again today, and they are just 9-17 straight up in their last 26 games. As them to cover a runline and they are 5-21 ATS in those games. The Royals are 6-5 straight up in the last 11 head to head meetings, but only half of those wins came by more than one run. While Kyle Freeland has struggled on the road this season, that's out of character for him. The Royals have five wins in Brady Singer's 11 starts, but only one of those wins came by more than one run. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-04-23 | Phillies v. Nationals +1.5 | 11-3 | Loss | -120 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Washington. After splitting the first two games of this series, the Nats look good as an underdog in the rubber match Sunday. Trevor Williams will toe the slab for Washington, and he's 1-1 with a 3.09 ERA in five home starts. The Phillies hand the ball to Ranger Saurez, who is 0-2 with a 7.13 ERA in four starts. The Nationals lineup is batting .308 over a combined 52 at bats versus Suarez. The Phillies have just three wins by more than one run in their last 19 games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-04-23 | Wings +8.5 v. Sun | 74-80 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on DAL. The Sun are 5-1, but a closer look at their schedule reveals that there might be more to the story. Not one of those five wins came against a team with a winning record. Only one of those five wins came by a margin wide enough to cover the spread here. Dallas has two losses, and the combined margin of defeat in those games is less than the spread for this game. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-03-23 | Sporting KC v. Vancouver Whitecaps -110 | 1-1 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on VAN. The Whitecaps are on fire at home, and their 19 goals in eight home matches rank first in MLS. They are coming off a 6-2 win over Houston, and they could have similar success against KC. Sporting Kansas City has just one win in nine away matches, while the Whitecaps have just one loss in eight home matches. GL, ' Jesse Schule |

06-03-23 | Panthers v. Golden Knights -130 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 110 h 3 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Vegas. The Stanley Cup is the oldest trophy in professional sports. Going back more than a century, only once has a #8 seed won the Stanley Cup, and only three times has a team ranked lower than a #4 seed won a Stanley Cup. The Golden Knights are the #1 seed in the Western Conference, and if history is any indication you have to love their chances here. The Panthers have been riding a hot goaltender, and the feisty play of Matthew Tkatchuk. A 10 day layoff prior to this series could be a huge momentum killer for the visitors. I like the Knights to get off to a good start on home ice in Game 1. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-03-23 | Chicago Fire v. FC Cincinnati -145 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CINCI. Cincinnati sits at the top of the MLS standings, and they are undefeated at home this season. The Chicago Fire have just three wins in 15 matches, but they also have just four losses. They have been hanging around in games and have played to a draw eight times. While I am sure Chicago would be pleased with a draw here, it won't be easy. Cincinnati is eight points clear of the #2 ranked team in MLS (Nashville). GL, Jesse Schule |

06-03-23 | Portland v. Seattle Sounders FC -135 | 0-0 | Loss | -135 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Sounders. While Portland has had the better of this rivalry in recent seasons, the Sounders look to be ready to reclaim their position as one of the top clubs in MLS. Seattle sits in first place in the West, a full 10 points clear of Portland. Seattle has just one loss in nine home matches, while Portland has just one win in eight away matches. The Timbers have scored just one goal in their last three matches, and they have scored just 19 in 15 matches overall. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-03-23 | Cardinals v. Pirates +1.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Pirates. The Pirates are home dogs off three straight wins, despite the fact that they are five games ahead of St. Louis in the standings. Jordan Montgomery will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's 0-2 with a 6.04 ERA in his last five starts. The Pirates hand the ball to Luis Ortiz, who is 1-1 with a 2.84 ERA in two home starts so far this season. The Pirates are 6-4 straight up in their last 10 versus St. Louis, but they are 8-2 on the runline in those games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-03-23 | Mariners +1.5 v. Rangers | 6-16 | Loss | -142 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on SEA. The Mariners send a rookie to the mound today, but 23 year old Bryan Woo has been lighting it up in the minors. He looks to replicate what Bryce Miller has already done for the Mariners this season. Andrew Heaney will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he's struggled against Seattle. He allowed four runs on four hits and two walks in a loss to Seattle this season, and he was 1-2 with an 8.10 ERA in three starts versus the Mariners the previous two seasons. Heaney boasts a sub 2.00 ERA on the road this season, but his ERA at home balloons to 5.34. The Mariners are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings in Texas. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-03-23 | Phillies v. Nationals +1.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -159 | 13 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on WAS. After losing Game 1 of this series in Washington, Philly now sits at the bottom of the NL East standings. Matt Strahm will toe the slab for Philly Saturday, and he's worked out of the bullpen of late. The Nats hand the ball to McKenzie Gore, who is 3-3 with a 3.57 ERA in 11 starts. The Phillies are 3-10 in their last 13 road games versus a left-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
06-03-23 | Manchester United +1.25 v. Manchester City | 1-2 | Win | 50 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MUTD. These two rivals meet in the FA Cup, and Manchester City looks to complete a Treble (3 x Tropies). Standing in their way are rivals Manchester United, who are the only Premier League club to have won a Treble. There doesn't appear to be a lot of separation between the two clubs, who each won at home in the season series. Manchester United has only conceded three goal while winning four of their last five matches in all competitions. I expect this match to be close, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it go to extra time and penalties. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-02-23 | Sparks v. Mercury -148 | 99-93 | Loss | -148 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the Mercury. The Phoenix Mercury are coming off their first win of the season, a 90-81 win over Minnesota. They host the LA Sparks Friday, and the home team is 8-1 straight up and 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings between these teams. LA might be shorthanded, with three starters listed as questionable due to illness. With all three players out in their last game, they scored just 65 points on 38 percent shooting in a blowout loss to the Vegas Aces. The Sparks are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-02-23 | Cubs v. Padres -165 | 2-1 | Loss | -165 | 18 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on SD. The Padres took two of three in a series at Miami, and they are a big favorite in Game 1 of this home series versus the Cubs. The NL Central is bad, and the Cubs are the worst of the worst sitting in dead last in the division. Jameson Taillon will toe the slab for Chicago, and he's 0-1 with a 10.90 ERA in his last five starts. The Padres hand the ball to Michael Wacha, who is 3-0 with a 1.04 ERA in his last four starts. The Cubs are 3-13 in their last 16 road games. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-02-23 | A's v. Marlins -182 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 25 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Miami. The Marlins aren't exactly a powerhouse, but they are at least respectable. They have a winning record overall, and a winning record at home. They host the Oakland A's in Game 1 Friday, and despite winning two of three at home against the Braves, Oakland is historically bad. The Athletics are 12-40 in their last 52 road games, and they are 15-51 in their last 66 during game 1 of a series. The Marlins are 7-1 in their last eight interleague games. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-01-23 | Heat v. Nuggets OVER 219 | 93-104 | Loss | -110 | 62 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Miami Heat lead the playoffs in three-point shooting, hitting 39 percent from beyond the arc. The Nuggets aren't far behind hitting 38.6 percent of their three-point attempts. The Heat come in averaging 112 points per game while Denver has averaged 116 points per game in the playoffs. The Joker has put up incredible numbers, averaging 29.9 points, 13.3 rebounds and 10.3 assists. He's put up those numbers against the best defenders in the NBA. The Heat rank near the bottom in the NBA in rebounds per game, and have one of the league's smallest starting lineups. I expect Joker to put up video game numbers in this series, and I like the total to go over in Game 1. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-31-23 | Colorado Rapids v. Columbus -155 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Columbus. The Rapids have lost five straight, and they have failed to score in three of their last four. The Crew are a juggernaut at home, with the second best goal differential in MLS. Columbus has scored 26 goals in 14 matches, more than double the 12 goals that Colorado has managed. You can't win if you can't score ... bad news for the Rapids. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-30-23 | Rays -184 v. Cubs | 1-2 | Loss | -184 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TB. The Rays lost Game 1 in Chicago, but they send their ace to the mound in Game 2 at Wrigley. Shane McClannahan appears to be the front-runner for the Cy Young in the American League. He's 8-0 with a 1.97 ERA in 11 starts. He pitched at Wrigley last year, went six innings, allowed one earned run and struck out nine in a no decision. The Cubs hand the ball to Kyle Hendricks, who allowed five runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings in his season debut. The Rays are 9-4 in the last 13 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-29-23 | Heat v. Celtics UNDER 203.5 | 103-84 | Win | 100 | 19 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. Here is what I said prior to Game 6: "We've seen some big money moving in on the under in Game 6. This might as well be an elimination game for both teams, but technically the Heat could try to win a Game 7 on the road as a likely double digit underdog. We saw this series go seven games last year, and Boston won 100-96 here in this building in Game 7. Boston has gone under in five of their last six at Miami. This might be the type of game where the winning team doesn't even score 100 points." We are calling for history to repeat itself in Game 7 of the ECF. |

05-29-23 | Golden Knights +113 v. Stars | 6-0 | Win | 113 | 18 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on VGK. Here is what I said prior to Game 5: "The Stars pulled out all the stops in Game 4, and perhaps they got a little fortunate to win with a power play goal in overtime. They could be due for a let down here in Game 5 in Vegas. The Knights have been getting far better goaltending from Adin Hill, who is 6-2 with a 2.07 GAA in the playoffs. Jake Oettinger allowed 10 goals while losing the first three games of this series. Jamie Benn will be serving his second game of a two game suspension tonight. I like Vegas to complete the Gentleman's Sweep." I think the Stars luck runs out here in Game 6. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-29-23 | Twins +1.5 v. Astros | 7-5 | Win | 100 | 14 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MIN. Houston will be the favorite with a rookie pitcher on the mound in Game 1, but I like the Twins as the underdog. J.P. France makes just his second start in Houston, and in his home debut he allowed six runs on nine hits and two walks in 3 2/3 innings versus the Cubs. The Twins hand the ball to Sonny Gray, who hasn't lost yet this season. He's 4-0 with a 1.82 ERA and a WHIP of 1.20. The Twins are 8-2 ATS in Gray's 10 starts this season. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-29-23 | Rangers -163 v. Tigers | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Texas. The Rangers have won 12 of their last 17 overall, and they still sit in first place in the AL West. They appear to have a favorable matchup in Game 1 in Detroit. Nate Eovaldi will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he's been dealing in 2023. He went the distance in a win at Pittsburgh in his last start, and he's 4-1 with a 1.66 ERA in six road starts. The Tigers hand the ball to Matthew Boyd, who has struggled at home. He's 0-3 with an 8.64 ERA in four home starts. He failed to make it out of the second inning, getting torched for six runs in a loss to Seattle in his last start in Detroit. The Rangers are 6-0 in their last six games following a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-29-23 | Guardians v. Orioles -138 | 5-0 | Loss | -138 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on BAL. The Orioles have picked up right where they left off last year, and they are in second in the AL East four games behind Tampa. Tyler Wells will toe the slab for Baltimore, and he's 2-1 with a 2.64 ERA in five home starts. He's facing a Cleveland team that ranks dead last in MLB in runs scored. The Guardians will hand the ball to Logan Allen, who boasts an ERA of 3.31. Don't let that fool you though, he's allowed at least eight base runners in each of his last four starts, and owns a WHIP of 1.44. The Guardians are 1-7 in their last eight road games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-28-23 | Wings +3.5 v. Sky | 88-94 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Dallas. The Wings are still undefeated, and last year they were the only team in the WNBA with a better record on the road than at home. They look good on the road here against a Chicago Sky team that lost three of it's top four scorers from last year. The Sky lost their only home game to a below average Washington Mystics squad, and both their wins have come against inferior opponents in close games. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-28-23 | Reds v. Cubs -150 | 8-5 | Loss | -150 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CHC. The Bad News Bears have lost 10 of their last 13 overall, but if there is a silver lining they are playing at home against a Cincinnati team that has been just as bad. Graham Ashcraft will toe the rubber for the Reds, and he's been just crushed in his last two starts. He allowed 14 runs on 20 hits over 10 innings in losses to the Rockies and Cardinals. The Cubs hand the ball to Drew Smyly, who is 2-0 with a 2.42 ERA in five home starts. The Reds are 9-24 in their last 33 road games versus a left-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-28-23 | Nationals -104 v. Royals | 2-3 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on WAS. The Nats have won five of their last seven, and they have a favorable matchup in Game 3 in Kansas City. MacKenzie Gore will toe the slab for Washington, and he's 2-1 with a 3.67 ERA in five starts on the road. The Royals hand the ball to Daniel Lynch, who got rocked in his last rehab start at Triple A Omaha. He allowed five runs on nine hits in 3 2/3 innings, but some chalked it up as a success because he also struck out eight. The Royals are 7-21 in their last 28 home games, and they have lost six of their last seven versus left-handers. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-28-23 | Rangers v. Orioles -142 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on BAL. The Rangers won the first two games of this series in Baltimore, but they have a tough pitching matchup here in Game 3. Cody Bradford will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he's been torched for six runs on seven hits in five innings in a home loss to Atlanta in his debut. The Orioles hand the ball to Kyle Bradish, who is 1-0 with a 3.62 ERA in his last five starts. The Orioles are 11-4 in their last 15 games versus a left-handed starter, and they are 16-6 in their last 22 games following a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-28-23 | AFC Bournemouth v. Everton -180 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Everton. The math is simple for the Toffees, win and you're in. They appeared to be destined for relegation, but after earning points in three of their last four matches they are in the driver's seat here at home on "Survival Sunday". They draw a favorable matchup against a Bournemouth team that has nothing to play for, and has one of the worst goal differentials in away matches in the Premier League. In fact only Southampton ranks worse. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-27-23 | Marlins v. Angels -184 | 8-5 | Loss | -184 | 20 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on LAA. The Angels came into Game 1 of this home series versus Miami as winners of six of their last seven. After a 6-2 setback in the opener, they look to get back on track with their ace on the mound tonight. Shohei Ohtani (5-1, 3.05 ERA) is 3-1 with a 2.45 ERA in five home starts, and the Angels won four of those games. The Fish hand the ball to Edward Cabrera, who has dramatic split stats. He's 0-4 with a 6.15 ERA in six road starts. Cabrera can't count on a lot of run support from a Miami lineup that ranks 27th in scoring. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-27-23 | Celtics v. Heat UNDER 210.5 | 104-103 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Under. We've seen some big money moving in on the under in Game 6. This might as well be elimination game for both teams, but technically the Heat could try to win a Game 7 on the road as a likely double digit underdog. We saw this series go seven games last year, and Boston won 100-96 here in this building in Game 7. Boston has gone under in five of their last six at Miami. This might be the type of game where the winning team doesn't even score 100 points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-27-23 | Stars v. Golden Knights UNDER 5.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -108 | 18 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Golden Knights have another chance to punch their ticket into the Stanley Cup Final, after losing 3-2 in overtime in Dallas in Game 2. Each of the last three games in this series have gone under the number, and both goaltenders have played very well. The under is 9-1-2 in the Stars last 12 Conference Finals games, and they have failed to reach the total in 15 of their last 21 versus the Golden Knights. The under is 9-1-1 in the Golden Knights last 11 Conference Finals games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-26-23 | Pirates v. Mariners UNDER 7 | 11-6 | Loss | -118 | 17 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Under. Seattle won a pitcher's duel last night, defeating the A's by a score of 3-2. Game 1 versus Pittsburgh looks like another pitcher's duel. Mitch Keller will toe the slab for Pittsburgh, and he's been dominant this season. Keller has allowed just two runs on 11 hits, striking out 29 batters in 22 innings in his last three starts. He's 2-1 with a 2.73 ERA in five starts on the road. The Mariners hand the ball to George Kirby, who is 3-2 with a 2.02 ERA in his last five starts. The Pirates have gone under in four of their last five road games, and the under is 11-5 in their last 16 versus Seattle. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-26-23 | Wings -7 v. Storm | 95-91 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the Dallas Wings. The Seattle Storm were one of the top teams in the WNBA last season, but they lost Brianna Stewart, Sue Bird and Tina Charles. Jewel Loyd scored 22 points in a 105-64 home loss to the Aces in the season opener, but she shot just 7-of-25 from the field. Kia Nurse got the start, but played just 11 minutes and didn't score any points. Expect this Seattle team to struggle here early in the season. Dallas was the only team in the WNBA with more wins on the road than they had at home last season. The Wings are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-25-23 | Heat +8 v. Celtics | 97-110 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on MIA. So the Celtics got a game, but they are still down 3-1 and they lost both home games in this series. A return to The Garden has the Celtics as a massive favorite in Game 5. You remember what Einstein said about insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The Heat were a huge underdog in Game 5 in Milwaukee, and they won that game 128-126. Miami still has the better coach, a supporting cast that has played it's role perfectly a superstar that has delivered in the clutch more than anyone wearing green and white. I'll take the points, and I'll sprinkle on the moneyline. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-25-23 | Golden Knights +105 v. Stars | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on VGK. The Stars are facing elimination tonight, and they won't have their team captain Jamie Benn after he was suspended for two games for cross checking Marc Stone. Adin Hill stopped all 34 shots he faced in Game 3, and he's 6-1 with a 1.96 GAA in the playoffs so far. Vegas clinched their second round series with a win on the road in Edmonton, and they are 6-1 in their last seven road games. I expect this series to end in Dallas tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
