05-28-23 | Padres v. Yankees -135 | Top | 7-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* PADRES/YANKEES MLB PLAY OF THE DAY On the season, the Yankees are perfect 7-0 as home favorites with Gerrit Cole (5-0, 2.53 ERA) on the mound. Cole is 4-2 with a 1.65 ERA in seven career starts against the Padres, and we get him in a bounce back spot after giving up five runs on six hits over five innings against Baltimore in his last start. 10* PLAY ON NEW YORK YANKEES. |

05-27-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. Heat | Top | 104-103 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 50 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK All aboard the Boston Celtics bandwagon! Yes, the Celtics are about as square of a play as it gets, but they are clearly the more talented team and they have all the momentum in this series. Miami overperformed through the first three games of the series but is now choking big time. I do not see the Heat coming back and expect it to be Boston in blowouts from now on, as to be expected when a No. 1 seed faces a No. 8 seed. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS -2.5. |

05-27-23 | Dodgers v. Rays UNDER 8 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 29 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* DODGERS/RAYS MLB TOTAL OF THE DAY Clayton Kershaw (6-4, 2.98 ERA) is 2-0 with an ERA of 1.88 and 16 strikeouts in 2 starts against the Rays in his career. This will be Tyler Glasnow's first career start against the Dodgers and first start of the season. Glasnow struck out six batters over six innings of two-hit baseball in his final minor league rehab start at Triple-A Durham on Saturday. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

05-26-23 | Blue Jays v. Twins UNDER 8 | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK The Blue Jays put up 20 runs at Tampa Bay on May 23, but take out that performance and their runs per game average over their last 10 games is mediocre at best. Minnesota righty-hander Louie Varland (2-0, 4.18 ERA) has an ERA of 2.92 in two home starts. Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman (2-3, 3.14 ERA) has allowed only four earned runs over 21 innings through his last four starts. Under is 7-0-1 in Blue Jays last 8 Friday games. Under is 6-2 in Twins last 8 games following an off day. Under is 19-9-4 in Twins last 32 during game 1 of a series. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

05-25-23 | Blue Jays v. Rays -140 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB MONEYLINE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY I think the Rays should be bigger home favorites here with Zach Eflin (6-1, 3.45 ERA) on the mound. Sure, Eflin has an ugly ERA of 8.16 in three career starts against Toronto, but those took place in 2016, 2018 and 2020 respectively. Eflin is 5-0 with an ERA of 2.70 in five day starts this season while Toronto right-hander Alek Manoah (1-4, 5.15 ERA) is 0-1 with an ERA of 6.10 in four day starts. The Rays have a 15-6 team record in day games. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |

05-23-23 | Marlins -120 v. Rockies | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -120 | 15 h 52 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber (3-4, 6.70 ERA) is 1-2 with an ERA of 8.75 home at Coors Field on the season. Miami is batting .285 while averaging 4.67 runs per nine innings against left-handers, more than a run higher than their 3.52 R/9 average overall. Miami rookie right-hander Eury Perez (1-0, 2.79 ERA) has allowed only three runs on seven hits and three walks over 9 2/3 innings in his first two big league starts. The Marlins are 11-7 as favorites. The Rockies are 16-22 as underdogs. 10* PLAY ON MIAMI MARLINS. |

05-22-23 | Nuggets +135 v. Lakers | Top | 113-111 | Win | 135 | 13 h 21 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NUGGETS/LAKERS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK Through the first three games of the series, the Nuggets have made it clear that if they show up, they don't lose. The only way I see the Lakers winning here is if the Nuggets decide to take the night off to close out the series at home instead. So my reasoning is that if they lose, they won't cover the spread, and if they show up, they'll win outright. Therefore, I think we're getting better value on the moneyline than the point spread. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |
|||||||
05-22-23 | Rangers -121 v. Pirates | Top | 4-6 | Loss | -121 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to fade the Pirates who are 3-7 in their last 10 games. Right-hander Luis Ortiz (0-2, 6.53 ERA) has only six big league starts under his belt and he has allowed seven runs (five earned) on 14 hits and five walks over just eight innings this year. The Rangers counter with Dane Dunning (4-0, 1.69 ERA) who has been solid since moving from the bullpen to the rotation. Dunning is 2-0 with an ERA of 1.59 and 12 strikeouts over 17 innings in three starts this season. The Rangers are 7-3 in their last 10 games, and they've averaged 8.60 runs over their last five games and 7.00 runs over their last 10 games. 10* PLAY ON TEXAS RANGERS. |

05-21-23 | Celtics v. Heat OVER 213.5 | Top | 102-128 | Win | 100 | 16 h 56 m | Show |
10* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK - CELTICS/HEAT G3 BEST BET Both of the first two games of this series went over the total (and this line), and the Heat are 10-5 to the over for the season. Over is 10-2 in Celtics' last 12 road games and I think they'll really push the tempo here as they're desperate for a win. Additionally, the over is 10-2 in Heat's last 12 home games. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |
|||||||
05-21-23 | Orioles v. Blue Jays OVER 8.5 | Top | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
10* MLB TOTAL OF THE MONTH - ORIOLES/JAYS BEST BET The Orioles have scored six runs in each of the first two games of this series and they've averaged 5.40 runs per nine innings over their last five games. The Blue Jays bats have been cold, but they put up five runs yesterday and here they'll face Dean Kremer (5-1, 4.94 ERA) who has posted an ERA of 9.68 over 13 innings of work in his day starts this year. Kremer is 1-2 with an ERA of 6.21 in 6 starts versus the Blue Jays in his career. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

05-20-23 | Nuggets +6 v. Lakers | Top | 119-108 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show |
10* NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S NUGGETS/LAKERS MAJOR WAGER Through the first two games of the series, I think the Nuggets have made it very clear that turn it up a notch and run away with the game whenever they feel like it. Here see more than a 10-point swing on the point spread compared to the two games in Denver, only because of the change of venue to LA which seems wild to me. Sure, Denver is a lot better at home than on the road, but note that the Nuggets are 6-2 ATS on the season when spotted five points or more on the road. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |
|||||||
05-20-23 | Dodgers +103 v. Cardinals | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 47 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY After a rocky start, Noah Syndergaard (1-3, 5.94 ERA) has started to find somewhat of a rhythm. He allowed three runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings when he took on the Cardinals at home on April 30, a game the Dodgers won 6-3. Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas (2-1, 4.91 ERA) has heated up and has posted an ERA of 2.81 over his last three starts, but at this price, I think the Dodgers are a no-brainer bet as I expect them to close as a bigger favorite. On the season, the Dodgers are 6-1 SU as a favorite of no more than -130. They are 15-4 SU as a favorite of no more than -150. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |
|||||||
05-18-23 | Lakers v. Nuggets -5.5 | Top | 103-108 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 52 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* TOP-RATED LAKERS/NUGGETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Denver Nuggets built up a big lead early before taking their foot off the gas in the backend of Game 1 of this series. In the end, the Nuggets won by six which would cover this number. The Lakers with AD and Lebron should not be underestimated, but at times it looked like men against boys, and the Lakers are now 4-10-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Denver. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Lakers are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. 10* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |
|||||||
05-18-23 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 8-16 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE OF THE MONTH The Cardinals are only 8-14 at home on the season and righty Adam Wainwright (0-0, 7.20 ERA), has allowed eight runs on 15 hits through 10 innings over two starts after starting the season on the IL. Wainwright faced the Dodgers once last season and gave up four runs on six hits over just three innings. The Dodgers will start Julio Urias (5-3, 3.61 ERA) who is 2-0 with 17 strikeouts and a 2.29 ERA in three starts this month. This will be Urias first career start versus St. Louis. The Dodgers have won each of the last five meetings and seven of the last eight. The Dodgers are money against the runline as road favorites, and I think there's better value on the RL than the ML. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1½. |
|||||||
05-16-23 | Guardians -120 v. White Sox | Top | 3-8 | Loss | -120 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY Lance Lynn (1-5, 7.51 ERA) has made a name for himself as a reliable starter, but he's had a terrible start to the year and here he'll face a Cleveland team that has scored 12 runs over its last two games. Since the start of the 2021, season, Lynn is 2-4 with an ERA of 5.04 in nine starts versus the Guardians. Cleveland counters with Right-hander Shane Bieber (3-1, 2.61 ERA) who has a 6-2 record with an ERA of 2.40 and 59 strikeouts in nine appearances versus the White Sox since the start of the 2021 season. Cleveland is a low-scoring team, but with this massive edge on the mound, at this price you just have back the Guardians. 10* PLAY ON CLEVELAND GUARDIANS. |

05-14-23 | 76ers v. Celtics -6.5 | Top | 88-112 | Win | 100 | 14 h 40 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* CELTICS/HAWKS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Celtics have allowed Philly to hang around in this series until Game 7, but I think it ends with a blowout win for Boston. When focused and locked, in they're clearly the better team and they're three wins ahve come by 34, 12 and nine points. They have home-court advantage here in this win-or-go-home game, and we'll hopefully see Jason Tatum waking up earlier than in the fourth quarter, as was the case in Philly Thursday night. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |
|||||||
05-14-23 | Rays -115 v. Yankees | Top | 8-7 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB MONEYLINE GAME OF THE WEEK The Tampa Bay Rays have only 11 losses on the season, and this is the fourth time they're coming off back-to-back losses. They're 3-0 off back-to-back-losses on the season and with righty Zach Eflin (4-1, 2.91 ERA) they'll have a solid edge on the mound versus Yankees righty Clarke Schmidt (1-3, 5.35 ERA). 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |
|||||||
05-13-23 | Cardinals v. Red Sox OVER 10 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Red Sox put up six runs against the Cardinals Friday night but still lost 8-6. Both teams' bats are hot and neither of today's starters, Chris Sale (3-2, 6.37 ERA) and Steven Matz (0-4, 5.70 ERA) has had a particularly good start to the year. The Cardinals are 8-2 to the over in their last 10. The Red Sox are 7-2-1 to the over in their last 10. The over is 15-6 in Boston's 21 games home at Fenway Park on the season. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

05-13-23 | Rays -128 v. Yankees | Top | 8-9 | Loss | -128 | 5 h 52 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY The Rays took a 6-5 loss to the Yankees Friday night. They are 6-3 following their previous nine losses this season and 10-5 as road favorites. The Yankees are 2-7 as underdogs and here they'll face Shane McClanahan (7-0, 1.76 ERA) who has been one of hte best pitchers in baseball. The Rays are 8-0 in his eight starts this year and last season, he was 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA in three starts versus the Yankees. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |

05-11-23 | Rays -116 v. Yankees | Top | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY Since the start of last season, the Rays are 9-4 as road favorites with Drew Rasmussen (3-2, 3.11 ERA) as the starter. Rasmussen is 1-0 with only one earned run allowed in three career appearances (two starts) covering 14 innings against the Yankees. New York righty Domingo German (2-2, 4.35 ERA) has a 5.44 ERA in 12 career appearances (10 starts) against Tampa Bay. Since the start of last season, the Yankees are 2-5 as underdogs with German as the starter. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |

05-10-23 | Lakers v. Warriors UNDER 226.5 | Top | 106-121 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 12 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY The first two games of the series went over the total, but both coaches have made adjustments defensively and the following two games both went under the total. I expect another relatively low-scoring affair here as the two teams are getting more and more familiar with each other. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-10-23 | Tigers v. Guardians UNDER 7.5 | Top | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 3 h 7 m | Show |
MIKE'S SUPER EARLY MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY The Guardians have averaged 2.00 runs per game over their last five games and they average 2.60 runs per game over their last 10. Detroit left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (3-2, 1.81 ERA) has an ERA of 0.44 over his last three starts and under is 6-1-1 in Guardians' last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

05-09-23 | Suns v. Nuggets UNDER 227.5 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 14 h 26 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* SUNS/NUGGETS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The over/under is 3-1 in this series, but I think this will be a relatively low-scoring affair following a 250+ game on Sunday. With this being Game 5 of the series, the teams know each other well by now and the coaches should know which adjustments to make on the defensive end. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |
|||||||
05-08-23 | Rays v. Orioles OVER 8 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 12 m | Show |
MIKE'S MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK - 10* BIG BET ALERT Baltimore is averaging 5.51 runs per nine innings. Tampa Bay is averaging 6.46 runs per nine innings. Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (6-0, 2.03 ERA) has had a superb start to the year, but the Orioles are averaging 7.22 runs per nine innings against southpaws. Baltimore right-hander Kyle Gibson (4-1, 4.61 ERA) allowed six runs on 10 hits with no strikeouts and no walks over 6 2/3 innings in a 6-0 loss to the host Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. He has a 4.35 ERA ERA in 13 career appearances (12 starts) against the Rays. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

05-07-23 | Dodgers -105 v. Padres | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 20 h 35 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* DODGERS/PADRES MLB TOP PLAY Julio Urias has a 6-1 record with an ERA of 2.30 and 48 strikeouts in 10 starts against the Padres in his career. Joe Musgrove is 0-6 with an ERA of 4.04 and 50 strikeouts in 9 starts against the Dodgers in his career. The talent gap between these two teams is closer than in recent years, but I still have the Dodgers as the better team and they are 4-1 as a favorite of no more than -130 on the season. This looks like a great price on the better team just because they're on the road. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |
|||||||
05-07-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. 76ers | Top | 115-116 | Loss | -107 | 16 h 12 m | Show |
CELTICS/HAWKS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* MAJOR WAGER The Celtics dropped the opener of this series, but they've bounced back with a pair of impressive wins. Philadelphia is a good team, but it really lit a fire in the Celtics by winning Game 1 and I expect another comfortable Boston win here. Celtics are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Celtics are 35-17-1 ATS in their last 53 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 76ers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Celtics are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

MIKE'S 10* CELTICS/SIXERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Celtics bounced back with a big win in Game 2 after dropping the series opener, and I think it'll be smooth sailing for Boston from here on. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Celtics are 36-16-1 ATS in their last 53 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. 76ers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Celtics are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

MIKE'S LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers won the opener of the series behind big play from AD. I expect the Warriors to make adjustments and contain him better here, and we should see a much better defensive performance from Golden State as they look to snap back from the loss. Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Lakers are 3-9-1 ATS following a win as a road underdog, they are also 10-3 to the under in that spot and the under is 7-2 in Warriors last 9 games following an ATS loss. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/CELTICS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Philly stole Game 1, so now we'll see Boston storm back with a blowout win in Game 2, right? Not so fast IMO. The Celtic have struggled to cover big spreads all season long and the Sixers have looked really sharp here in the playoffs, even with Embiid missing some games. I don't see Philly winning outright again, but this is too many points for Boston to cover. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. |
|||||||
05-02-23 | Lakers v. Warriors -4 | Top | 117-112 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 25 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers defeated Memphis in six games in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Warriors needed seven games to get past the Kings, but they did not have the homecourt advantage in that series (which they will have here against the Lakeshow). The Warriors may have a poor road record this season, but they are 40-18-1 ATS in their last 59 home games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. This is a series where I could easily see the home team winning every game and I expect Golden State to run away with this one. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

05-01-23 | Reds v. Padres -1.5 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY Cincinnati is 1-8 SU as road underdogs on the season. Cincy right-hander Luke Weaver (0-1, 7.71 ERA) has been roughed up in both of his two starts on the season, adn he has served up five homers over 11 2/3 innings of work. Padres left-hander Blake Snell (0-4, 5.48 ERA) has also had a rough start to the year, but he's looked better in recent starts and Padres are 14-3 in the last 17 meetings with the Reds. 10* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO PADRES -1½. |

04-30-23 | Panthers +1.5 v. Bruins | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NHL PUCKLINE OF THE MONTH Game 7 of this Eastern Conference opening-round matchup, and I think we're getting a really, really good price on the Panthers to cover the puckline. They've shown they can go toe to toe with Boston throughout the series, and while only one of the previous six games were decided by one goal, I expect this to be a close affair. 10* PLAY ON FLORIDA PANTHERS +1.5. |

04-30-23 | Warriors v. Kings UNDER 229.5 | Top | 120-100 | Win | 100 | 15 h 22 m | Show |
10* NBA TOTAL OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S WESTERN CONF BEST BET The over/under is an even 3-3 for the first six games of the series, but surely we'll see a relatively low-scoring affair here in Game 7. The Warriors have plenty of Game 7 experience, and historically those games have gone under the total more often than not. Sure, the bookmakers have adjusted this total down compared to the previous games in the series, but not enough IMO. Under is 13-6-1 in the last 20 meetings in Sacramento. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

MIKE'S GRIZZLIES/LAKERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers are in a position to close out the series at home following a 116-99 loss in Memphis a couple of nigths ago. They've been a step ahead of the Grizzlies for most of the series, and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss (4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points). The Grizzlies are 7-22 ATS in their last 29 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES LAKERS. |

MIKE'S CELTICS/HAWKS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER I expect the Celtics to go off and close out the series following an upset loss home at TD Garden. They've covered the spread in each game they've on in this series, and they are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Hawks are 20-44 ATS in their last 64 games following a straight up win. Hawks are 17-38 ATS in their last 55 games following an ATS win. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

04-26-23 | Dodgers -131 v. Pirates | Top | 1-8 | Loss | -131 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Dodgers won the opener of this series 8-7 on Monday. The Pirates came into the week on a seven-game winning streak, but I think they might start sliding now. Los Angeles right-hander Tony Gonsolin will make his first start of the season after going 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA in 24 starts in 2022. In two career starts against the Pirates, Gonsolin is 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA. Pittsburgh right-hander Roansy Contreras (2-1, 4.57 ERA) has had three great starts and one poor outing, but here he'll face a Dodgers team that is starting to pick up the pace. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |
|||||||
04-25-23 | Dodgers -115 v. Pirates | Top | 8-7 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Pirates are 16-7 on the season while the Dodgers are "only" 12-11, but are the Pirates a better baseball team than the Dodgers? I don't think anyone would argue yes ... The Dodgers are 0-4 in Noah Syndergaard's first four starts for the team despite Syndergaard (0-3, 4.91 ERA) allowing only two runs in each of his last two starts. Syndergaard is 2-2 with an ERA of 2.73 and 29 strikeouts over 33 innings in five starts versus the Pirates in his career and I think the Dodgers will do their absolute best to get him a W here. Pittsburgh righty Johan Ovideo (2-1, 2.22 ERA) is off to a great start to the year, but now he'll face a Dodgers team whose bats are heating up and they are averaging 5.89 runs per nine innings against right-handers. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The A's are 4-18 SU and 8-14 against the runline on the season as underdogs. The Angels are batting .285 while averaging 5.40 runs per nine innings against left-handers on the season. Oakland left-hander Ken Waldichuk (0-2, 7.65 ERA) was tagged with six runs on nine hits on 5 2/3 innings of a 6-0 loss to the Angels on April 2 in his first start of the season. Angels left-hander Jose Suarez has an ERA of 2.70 and 20 strikeouts over 23 1/3 frames in four starts versus the Athletics in his career. He had a 2-0 record with an ERA of 0.00 and 13 strikeouts in two starts against the Athletics last year. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES ANGELS -1.5. |

04-24-23 | Bucks -5.5 v. Heat | Top | 114-119 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Bucks are back under pressure after losing Game 3 of the series. They bounced back with a superb effort after dropping the opener of the series, and I expect that to be the case again tonight. Bucks are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 Conference Quarterfinals games. Bucks are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Heat are 16-34-1 ATS in their last 51 games following an ATS win. Heat are 16-34-2 ATS in their last 52 games following a straight up win. Heat are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |

04-23-23 | Celtics -5.5 v. Hawks | Top | 129-121 | Win | 100 | 18 h 49 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* CELTICS/HAWKS MAJOR WAGER The Atlanta Hawks won 130-122 on Friday, but the Celtics are still holding a 2-1 lead in the series and I think they'll set themselves up to win the series in five games with a win tonight. Celtics are 11-0 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Hawks are 20-43 ATS in their last 63 games following a straight up win. Hawks are 17-37 ATS in their last 54 games following an ATS win. Hawks are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Celtics are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

MIKE'S 10* GRIZZLIES/LAKERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers are in control of the series after splitting two games in Memphis, but I think the Grizzlies have a great chance of winning this one outright. Ja Morant is by the looks of it a game-time decision after missing Wednesday's Game 2 win, but no Morant, no problem as the Grizzlies have proven time and time again that they can win even without their superstar. 10* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. |

04-22-23 | Astros v. Braves -105 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 20 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* ASTROS/BRAVES MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Atlanta right-hander Kyle Wright (0-0, 6.23 ERA) has not had a great start to the year, but the Braves have still won both of his first two starts of the year. Wright held Houston to 2 runs on 6 hits with 1 walk and 7 strikeouts in 6 innings last year. He was credited with the win. Astros left-hander Framber Valdez (3-0, 1.44 ERA) has had a great start to the season, but the team has lost three of his four starts. Braves hitters ave an OBP of .389 against left-handed pitchers this season - best in the MLB. The price is right to back the Braves. 10* PLAY ON ATLANTA BRAVES. |
|||||||
04-20-23 | Kings v. Warriors UNDER 239.5 | Top | 97-114 | Win | 100 | 17 h 40 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* KINGS/WARRIORS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The betting market is treating this like a regular season game when it comes to the total, something I strongly disagree with. Game 2 of the series saw 220 points scored, and while Draymond Greene's suspension will affect the Warriors negatively on the defensive end, I still think this total is too high. Under is 19-7-1 in Kings last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 16-5-1 in Warriors last 22 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/NETS NBA ATS TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Nets did not stand a chance in either of the first two games of the series, and I don't think much will change just because they're at home here in Game 3 of the series. Nets are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. 76ers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 76ers are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 76ers are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS.

04-19-23 | Heat v. Bucks -6 | Top | 122-138 | Win | 100 | 14 h 40 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S HEAT/BUCKS MAJOR WAGER This looks like a great spot to back the Bucks following a humbling 130-117 loss in the opener of this best-of-seven series. The Heat have struggled with consistency all season, and they are 7-27-1 ATS in their last 35 games following an ATS win while the Bucks are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following an ATS loss. Giannis Antetokounmpo left Game 1 late in the first quarter due to a lower-back/tailbone injury, and he is listed as doubtful for Game 2, but I still like the Bucks to bounce back with a big win. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |
|||||||
04-19-23 | Rays -1.5 v. Reds | Top | 8-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show |
MIKE'S EARLY MLB RUNLINE GAME OF THE WEEK Reds righty Levi Stoudt will be making his MLB debut Wednesday afternoon, and he could not have faced a tougher opponent. The Rays have started the season red hot. They're 15-2 and 14-3 against the RL as favorites and have averaged 7.08 runs per nine innings over their first 18 games. Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen (2-1, 2.60 ERA) has started the season strong and the Rays are 11-0 SU and 9-2 against the runline in his last 11 starts as a favorite of at least -150. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5. |
|||||||
04-18-23 | Rangers -120 v. Royals | Top | 12-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Texas Rangers own the Royals, at least when being favored by the betting market. They are 18-5 SU and 17-6 against the runline against KC when closing as a favorite, dating back to the start of the 2018 season. Brad Keller is 1-2 with an ERA of 6.53 in 4 starts versus the Rangers in his career. Nathan Eovaldi has a record of 3-2 with an ERA of 4.50 in 6 starts against the Royals in his career, and I think he'll bounce back with a strong outing here after giving up six runs in a 10-1 loss to the Royals in his last start. 10* PLAY ON TEXAS RANGERS. |
|||||||
04-18-23 | Knicks v. Cavs -5.5 | Top | 90-107 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* KNICKS/CAVS NBA GAME OF THE MONTH I love the Cavs to snap back with a win here after getting outplayed in the opener of the best-of-seven series. The Knicks will be satisfied to return back to NY with a win and I don't see them being able to match the Cavs intensity and urgency. 10* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. |
|||||||
04-17-23 | Warriors -106 v. Kings | Top | 106-114 | Loss | -106 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to back the Warriors to bounce back from a 126-123 loss in Game 1 of the series. They held the lead for most of the game until Sacramento came back in the 4th quarter and now they need to win to avoid heading back home in a 2-0 hole. I also like the under as under is 15-5-1 in Warriors last 21 vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings in Sacramento. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |
|||||||
04-17-23 | Rangers -1.5 v. Royals | Top | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Rangers are off to a solid 9-6 start to the year while the Royals are 4-12 (1-9 at home). Jacob deGrom is 1-0 with an ERA of 1.93 in 2 starts against the Royals in his career. Jordan Lyles has a 2-6 record with an ERA of 6.20 in 11 starts versus the Rangers in his career. Lyles is 0-2 with a 5.19 ERA in three starts on the season and the Rangers are averaging 6.29 runs per nine innings against right-handers. Additionally, KC's bullpen is one of the worst in baseball with an ERA of 5.67. 10* PLAY ON TEXAS RANGERS -1.5. |
|||||||
04-16-23 | Heat v. Bucks -9 | Top | 130-117 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Bucks are the No. 1 seed in the East and here they'll face a Miami team that needed a second chance to get through the play-in tournament. The Heat are 6-27-1 ATS in their last 34 games following an ATS win while the Bucks are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 Conference Quarterfinals games. Milwaukee rested MVP finalist Giannis Antetokounmpo in the final three games of the regular season and I expect the Bucks to set the tone for a sweep with a blowout win here in Game 1 of the series. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |
|||||||
04-16-23 | Diamondbacks v. Marlins -123 | Top | 5-0 | Loss | -123 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB GAME OF THE WEEK The Marlins are riding a four-game winning streak and I like the price we get on them here with the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara on the mound. Sure, Alcantara (1-1, 5.79 ERA) was slapped around by the Phillies in his last start, but he owns a 2.92 ER in four career starts against Arizona and Alcantara is the kind of pitcher I expect to snap back with a strong outing after getting lit up. Arizona hands the ball to Zac Gallen (1-1, 4.58 ERA) who is in a potential flat spot following seven scoreless innings against the Brewers. 10* PLAY ON MIAMI MARLINS. |
|||||||
04-15-23 | Warriors +100 v. Kings | Top | 123-126 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 6 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* WARRIORS/KINGS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Warriors are basically a pick'em at Sacramento on Saturday. While the Warriors are only 11-30 SU on the season I think they should be a much bigger favorite in this one, especially considering the massive amount of playoff experience in the team while the Kings have a young and inexperienced team. Warriors are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Warriors are 32-14 ATS in their last 46 Conference Quarterfinals games. Kings are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Kings are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

MIKE'S 10* THUNDER/WOLVES NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Thunder are scrappy, and one must wonder how the Wolves will react after blowing a big lead to the Lakers to eventually lose in OT. Sure, the Wolves have had an extra day of rest, but they are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 2 days rest and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Thunder are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Minnesota. 10* PLAY ON OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER. |

04-14-23 | Rays -125 v. Blue Jays | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -125 | 18 h 46 m | Show |
10* RAYS/BLUE JAYS TOP PLAY The Rays are perfect 13-0 SU for the season and their over/under record is 9-3-1. Blue Jays righty Jose Berrios has a record of 1-4 with an ERA of 5.86 in eight starts versus the Rays in his career. Drew Rasumussen has an ERA of 2.45 in seven starts versus the Blue Jays in his career. I like the Rays to win and the game to go over as they might put up enough runs by themselves. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS. |

04-13-23 | Pirates v. Cardinals -1.5 | Top | 5-0 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 2 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE RIPPER TOP PLAY Pittsburgh took a 7-0 beating by Houston on Wednesday and I think they're in for another rough game here in the opener of a four-game set at St. Louis. Pittsburgh righty Vince Velasquez is 0-2 with a 9.82 ERA and a 2.18 WHIP on the season. Velasquez is 1-3 with an ERA of 5.67 in seven appearances (six starts) against the Cardinals in his career. Cards left-hander Jordan Montgomery has an ERA of 3.00 in two starts versus the Pirates in his career. Montgomery is 2-0 with an 2.25 ERA in two starts on the season. 10* PLAY ON ST. LOUIS CARDINALS -1.5. |

04-12-23 | Red Sox v. Rays OVER 8 | Top | 7-9 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
MIKE'S MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK MAX BET The Rays are undefeated 11-0 on the season while averaging 7.55 runs per nine innings. While not sustainable, I expect their bats to stay hot here and put up a good amount of runs against Red Sox starter Chris Sale who has posted an ERA of 11.25 over his first two starts of the year. Tampa Bay righty Taj Bradley will be making his MLB debut today, and Boston is averaging a healthy 5.66 runs per nine innings. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |
|||||||
04-09-23 | Dodgers -122 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 6-11 | Loss | -122 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to back the Dodgers to snap back from back-to-back losses to the D'Backs. Dodgers right-hander Michael Grove gave up three runs on two hits and two walks in four innings of a 13-4 Dodgers win over the Rockies in his first start of the year. Grove posted a 4.60 ERA in seven outings (six starts) last season. Right-hander Ryne Nelson made three starts for Arizona last year. He gave up three runs on six hits and three walks in five innings at San Diego on April 3 in his first start of 2023. Grove has slightly more experience than Nelson, and the Dodgers lineup is superior to Arizona's. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |
|||||||
04-08-23 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 8-12 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 32 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to back the Dodgers following a 6-3 loss to the D'Backs Friday night. Noah Syndergaard held Arizona scoreless over six innings of four-hit ball on April 2 in his Dodgers debut. Just as tonight he was opposed by Zach Davies who limited the Dodgers to one run on four hits in that matchup, but note that Davies had a record of 0-2 with an ERA of 5.82 in five starts against the Dodgers last year. Syndergaard has a 3-1 record with an ERA of 2.27 and 40 strikeouts over 31 2/3 innings in five career starts against the Diamondbacks. The moneyline is a decent bet, but I'm seeing more value on the runline. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5. |

04-07-23 | Rockets v. Hornets UNDER 228.5 | Top | 112-109 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The injury-riddled Charlotte Hornets are giving their young guns a lot of playing time down the stretch, which has hurt their offense. In their last three games, the Hornets have scored 91, 108 and 100 points. Under is 40-19-1 in Hornets last 60 home games. Under is 6-1 in Rockets last 7 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Under is 19-7 in Rockets last 26 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings in Charlotte. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

04-07-23 | A's v. Rays -1.5 | Top | 5-9 | Win | 100 | 13 h 55 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE OF THE WEEK MAX BET The Rays are perfect 6-0 SU and against the run line and they've averaged 7.76 runs / nine innings: Oakland is 2-4 SU while averaging only 3.62 R/9. Oakland left-hander Ken Waldichuk was tagged with six runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings of a 6-0 loss to the Angels in his first start of the season. Rays starter, right-hander Zach Eflin opened the season with five innings of one-run ball in Saturday's 12-2 home rout of the Tigers. Eflin held Oakland scoreless over four innings last year. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5. |

MIKE'S CAVS/MAGIC NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BU$TER We saw a total of 230 points scored when Orlando hosted the Cavs Tuesday night, but I think we'll see fewer points scored in tonight's game. Under is 10-4 in Cavaliers last 14 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 6-2 in Magic last 8 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 13-4 in the last 17 meetings. 8* PLAY ON UNDER. |

MIKE'S 10* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Knicks are riding a four-game winning streak through which they have averaged 121.5 ppg. Indiana's defense has been below par all season, but particularly bad in recent games with 130.2 ppg allowed over their last five. Over is 12-5-1 in Knicks last 18 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Over is 36-16 in Pacers last 52 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

MIKE'S 10* NHL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a tough spot for the Kings who will play their third game in four nights after defeating Seattle on the road on Saturday and the Canucks in Vancouver on Sunday. The Oilers have had two days off since their 6-0 win over Anaheim on Saturday. Oilers are 15-3 in their last 18 vs. Western Conference.

MIKE'S 10* NBA WEST TOTAL OF THE YEAR The Warriors are 42-33-4 to the over for the season, and the Thunder are 45-33-1 to the over, but this is way too high of a total IMO. Under is 19-7 in Thunder last 26 vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 6-1-1 in Warriors last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Under is 15-3 in the last 18 meetings at Chase Center. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/BUCKS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to back the Bucks to bounce back from a humiliating 41-point loss to Boston. The Bucks are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games following an ATS loss and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss. They're 1.5 games behind Boston for the No. 1 seed in the East and I think they'll snap back with a big game tonight. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |

MIKE'S 10* KINGS/BLAZERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Kings are 3-0 to the under in their last three games, but two of those games saw 234 points scored. We saw only 200 points when they defeated Portland 120-80 here at Moda Center Wednesday night, but I expect to see more from the home team tonight. Portland has struggled to get easy baskets lately, but pretty much every team in the league can put up big numbers against Sacramento. Over is 11-3-1 in Kings last 15 overall and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in Portland. 10* PLAY ON OVER. |

MIKE'S 10* NBA TOTAL GAME OF THE MONTH New Orleans is playing a lot better defense than they're getting credit for. In their last five games, the Pels have held opponents to 100.0 ppg and the under is 6-1 in their last seven games and 9-2 in Pelicans last 11 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Denver is also solid defensively and the under is 6-0 in the Nuggets last six gams and 9-2 in Nuggets last 11 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. |

MIKE'S 10* JAZZ/SPURS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Jazz still have a chance to make the play-in tournament, but after four straight losses there's virtually no margin for error. A date with the Spurs could be just what the doctor ordered to get back to their winning ways. Jazz are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a double-digit loss at home. Jazz are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games. Spurs are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game.

MIKE'S 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to fade the Wolves who are coming off an upset win at Golden State last night. While the Timberwolves are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest, note that they are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win and here they'll face a Kings team that has been playing very well since the All-Star break.

MIKE'S 10* NHL PUCKLINE GAME OF THE YEAR The Coyotes will be playing on 0 days rest after battling the Avs yesterday, but I think they can keep this close. The Oilers are only 4-3 as road favorites of -200 or more and 1-2 as road favorites of -250 or more. Arizona is coming into this game on a four-game losing streak, but all but one of those games were one-goal affairs.

MIKE'S 10* NETS/MAGIC NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Nets snapped a five-game skid with a 129-100 win at Miami last night. They'll be playing on no rest here in Orlando Sunday night, but I think they'll have enough gas left in the tank to compete and get the win. Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Magic are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games.

MIKE'S 10* FAU/KSU ELITE EIGHT BEST BET The ninth-seeded Florida Atlantic Owls managed to pull an upset against Tennessee a couple of days ago, but I don't think they'll be able to beat the third-seeded Kansas State here in the Elite Eight. The Wildcats are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. 10* PLAY ON KANSAS STATE WILDCATS |

The Thunder are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss, 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The Lakers are coming off a 122-111 win over Phoenix, but they are only Lakers are 10-21 ATS in their last 31 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/BULLS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to back the Sixers to avenge a 109-105 OT loss to the Bulls home in Philly a couple of days ago. The Sixers came into that game riding an eight-game winning streak (6-2 ATS) and the Bulls are only 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

MIKE'S 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET The Clippers are coming off a 117-102 win at Portland, but I think they're in for a tougher game here against an OKC team that is an amazing 42-26-3 ATS on the season.

On the road, the Warriors are only 7-26 SU on the season and they are 16-34-1 ATS in their last 51 road games.

10* GRIZZLIES/MAVS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY No Ja Morant, no problem. The Grizzlies are coming off back-to-back home wins over Golden State and Dallas, and I think they'll get it done at Dallas as well. The Mavs have injury issues of their own; both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving missed Saturday's loss to Memphis. Doncic is expected to be out until at least Mar 15 while Irving is listed as a game-time decision for this game. 10* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. |

MIKE'S 10* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK For whatever reason, the Devils are a lot more dangerous on the road than home at Prudential Center.

MWC TOURNEY GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET This looks like a good spot to fade the San Jose State Spartans following their OT upset win against Nevada on Thursday. San Diego State meanwhile might've received a bit of a wake up call as eighth-seeded Colorado State took the Aztecs to the wire yesterday and I expect them to come out all guns blazing here. The Aztecs won the only meeting against the Spartans this season, 72-51 on Jan. 28 in San Diego. Aztecs are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
