20* SHARP PLAY on Orioles vs Yankees over 9 -113
09-10-20	Phillies v. Marlins OVER 9	Top	6-7	Win	105	28 h 30 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Phillies vs Marlins over 9 +105 The OVER (9) is worth a look in Thursday's MLB action between the Marlins and Phillies. Two struggling starters take the mound, as Philadelphia sends out Jake Arrieta while the Marlins turn to Sandy Alcantara. Arrieta has been especially poor this season with a 5.67 ERA and 1.470 WHIP in 7 starts. He has a 6.75 ERA in 3 starts. We also have two bad bullpens in this one. Play the OVER 9!
09-09-20	Islanders v. Lightning UNDER 5.5	Top	1-2	Win	100	33 h 18 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Islanders vs Lightning under 5½ -130 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
09-09-20	Brewers v. Tigers UNDER 8.5	Top	19-0	Loss	-110	22 h 3 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Brewers vs Tigers under 8½ -110 The UNDER (8.5) is definitely worth a look in Wednesday's early MLB action between the Tigers and Brewers. This is a sneaky good pitching matchup. Detroit's Matt Boyd was awful to start the year, but he's rounded into form nicely. Boyd has a strong 2.60 ERA and 0.808 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Milwaukee's Corbin Burns is sitting there with a 1.75 ERA and 1.013 WHIP in 5 starts and is in good form with a 1.56 ERA and 0.923 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Play the UNDER 8.5!
09-08-20	Stars v. Golden Knights OVER 5.5	Top	0-3	Loss	-100	11 h 23 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Stars vs Golden Knights over 5½ +101 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
09-07-20	Astros v. A's OVER 9		0-6	Loss	-109	29 h 24 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Astros vs A's over 9 -109 The OVER (9) is worth a look in Sunday's AL West showdown between the A's and Astros. Houston will have Christian Javier on the mound. He's 4-1 with a 3.44 ERA in 7 starts, but has an ugly 6.39 ERA and 1.500 WHIP over 3 road starts. He's just not the same away from home. A's counter with Frankie Montas, who has a 6.06 ERA in 7 starts overall and a 16.75 ERA and 2.896 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Play the OVER 9!
09-06-20	Bucks v. Heat UNDER 220	Top	118-115	Loss	-110	33 h 26 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks vs Heat under 220 -110 The UNDER (220) is worth a look in Game 4 between the Heat and Bucks. It's well known that no team has come back from a 3-0 deficit. While the series may be over, I don't see Milwaukee going down without a fight. Bucks have the talent to pull this feat off. Miami on the other hand could have a hard time locking and maybe just aren't quite as sharp on the offensive end as they have been in the first 3. Play the UNDER 220!
09-05-20	Brewers v. Indians UNDER 8		3-4	Win	105	28 h 56 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Brewers vs Indians under 8 +105 The UNDER (8) is worth a look in Saturday's action between the Indians and Brewers. This has all the makings of a low scoring game. You got two above-average starters going in Milwaukee's Brandon Woodruff and Cleveland's Aaron Civale. You also have two offenses that have had their struggles scoring runs. Play the UNDER 8!
09-05-20	Padres v. A's UNDER 9	Top	4-8	Loss	-115	25 h 59 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Padres vs A's under 9 -115 The UNDER (9) is worth a look in Saturday's matchup between the A's and Padres. Two strong starters take the mound in this one. San Diego will send out Chris Paddack, while the A's turn to Sean Manaea. Paddack is a much better pitcher than his 4.43 ERA and that's evident by his strong 1.195 WHIP. He was really good in his last start at Colorado. Manaea comes in red-hot with a 2.35 ERA and 0.978 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Play the UNDER 9!
09-04-20	Stars v. Avalanche UNDER 6	Top	5-4	Loss	-105	26 h 12 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Stars vs Avalanche under 6 -105 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
09-03-20	Nationals v. Phillies UNDER 10.5	Top	5-6	Loss	-104	26 h 42 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Nationals vs Phillies under 10½ -104 The UNDER (10.5) is worth a look in Thursday's NL East clash between the Phillies and Nationals. This is a big number for a game that involves a team (Nationals) who haven't scored a run in two straight games. Phillies starter Zach Eflin has a 2.65 ERA at home. I know Washington starter Anibal Sanchez isn't great, but he's been pretty good in recent outings against Philadelphia. Play the UNDER 10.5!
09-02-20	Avalanche v. Stars OVER 6	Top	4-1	Loss	-115	20 h 28 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Avalanche vs Stars over 6 -115 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
08-31-20	Indians v. Royals OVER 7.5	Top	1-2	Loss	-106	28 h 50 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Indians vs Royals over 7½ -106 The OVER (7.5) is worth a look in Monday's MLB action between the Royals and Indians. Most are going to look at the starting pitching matchup and expect a low scoring game. Bieber has been outstanding for Cleveland and Keller has been strong at home for KC. I just like both offenses to produce. Note the OVER is 5-1 in Bieber's last 6 starts vs the Royals. Play the OVER 7.5!
08-31-20	Bruins v. Lightning UNDER 5.5	Top	2-3	Win	100	11 h 60 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Bruins vs Lightning under 5½ -113 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
08-29-20	Nationals v. Red Sox OVER 11.5		3-5	Loss	-106	27 h 5 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Nationals vs Red Sox over 11½ -106 The OVER (11.5) is worth a look in Saturday's interleague matchup between the Nationals and Red Sox. These two teams combined for 12 runs on Friday. Of those 12, 10 came via Washington. That's now 6 straight games where Boston has allowed 5 or more runs. Today they send out Chris Mazza, who gave up 4 runs on 8 hits in just 3 innings of his MLB debut last time out. Nationals will send out Anibal Sanchez, who has a 6.48 ERA and 1.720 WHIP in 5 starts. Play the OVER 11.5!
08-29-20	Pirates v. Brewers OVER 9	Top	6-7	Win	100	27 h 45 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Pirates vs Brewers over 9 -112 The OVER (9) is worth a look in Saturday's NL Central clash between the Brewers and Pirates. These two teams combined for 10 runs on Friday and that was with Pittsburgh only contributing 1 run. I look for both teams to score in bunches in this one. Pirates will have J.T. Brubaker on the mound and he's got a 7.20 ERA and 1.700 WHIP. Brett Anderson will go for Milwaukee. He's been great his last two starts, but has a history of stringing together 3 quality starts in row. He's just 9-20 in his last 29 home starts after allowing 2 or fewer runs in each of his last two outings. Play the OVER 9!
08-29-20	Thunder v. Rockets OVER 226	Top	80-114	Loss	-110	23 h 2 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Thunder vs Rockets over 226 -110 The OVER (226) is worth a look in Saturday's Game 5 matchup between the Rockets and Thunder. Not only will Houston's Russell Westbrook be making his series debut, but these teams ended up having 4 days off since Game 4. Fresh legs should lead to some better shooting, especially from the Rockets with all those 3-pointers they take. OKC has also seemed to figure out this Houston defense. This should easily get to 230. Play the OVER 226!
08-26-20	A's v. Rangers UNDER 9.5		3-1	Win	100	29 h 16 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on A's vs Rangers under 9½ -105 The UNDER (9.5) is worth a look in Wednesday's MLB action out of the AL West as the A's visit the Mariners. I get we got two struggling starters going, but Texas is not a team that can take full advantage of that. Rangers have scored a whopping 8 runs in their last 4 games combined. If Kolby Allard can just keep Oakland from putting up a big number, this will fly under the number. Play the UNDER 9.5!
08-26-20	Islanders v. Flyers OVER 5	Top	3-4	Win	115	12 h 35 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Islanders vs Flyers over 5 +115 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
08-25-20	Canucks v. Golden Knights OVER 5.5	Top	5-2	Win	100	33 h 49 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Canucks vs Golden Knights over 5½ -115 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
08-25-20	Jazz v. Nuggets UNDER 220.5	Top	107-117	Loss	-110	28 h 30 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Nuggets under 220½ -110 The UNDER (220.5) is worth a look in Game 5 between the Nuggets and Jazz. Utah is due for some regression here, as they have now shot 50% or better from the field in 3 straight games. I get the Nuggets defense is a big part of the problem, but Utah is not as good a 3-point shooting team as we have seen in this series. If the shots don't fall for these two, the pace really isn't there for this to get over the mark. Play the UNDER 220.5!
08-24-20	Islanders v. Flyers UNDER 5	Top	4-0	Win	100	20 h 53 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Islanders vs Flyers under 5 -110 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
08-23-20	Reds v. Cardinals UNDER 9.5		2-6	Win	100	23 h 59 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Reds vs Cardinals under 9½ -115 The UNDER (9.5) is worth a look in Sunday's afternoon clash between NL Central rivals St Louis and Cincinnati. These two teams have struggled to get their offenses going of late. Cardinals have scored 3 or fewer in 3 of their last 4 and are averaging a mere 5 hits/game in this stretch. Reds were shutout for the second time in their last 5 games on Saturday and are averaging just 2.9 runs/game on the road this season. Play the UNDER 9.5!
08-22-20	Rockies v. Dodgers UNDER 9.5		3-4	Win	100	29 h 12 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Rockies vs Dodgers under 9½ -109 The UNDER (9.5) is worth a look in Saturday's MLB action between the Rockies and Dodgers. Great pitching matchup here with Kyle Freeland of Colorado facing off against Dustin May of Los Angeles. Freeland has been great. He's got a 2.56 ERA and 1.105 WHIP in 5 starts and that's with 3 of them coming at home (Coors Field). May has been equally impressive with a 3.00 ERA in 5 starts. Play the UNDER 9.5!
08-22-20	Astros v. Padres OVER 8.5	Top	2-13	Win	100	29 h 12 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Astros vs Padres over 8½ -106 The OVER (8.5) is worth a look in Saturday's MLB action between the Padres and Astros. Both of these teams are swingin a hot bat right now. Houston had 23 runs in their final two games at Coors and San Diego had scored 6 or more in 5 of 6 going into Friday's game. I know the two starters have been decent, but it's really not asking much for these two to get to 9 runs. Play the OVER 8.5!
08-22-20	Lakers v. Blazers OVER 225	Top	116-108	Loss	-100	30 h 42 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers vs Blazers over 225 +101 The OVER (225) is worth a look in Game 3 on Saturday between the Lakers and Blazers. These two haven't sniffed the total in the first two games. They haven't even got to 200 combined points. All that changes in Game 3. Portland is too good a shooting team to shoot as poorly as they have in this series. As good as the Lakers are defensively, Blazers are going to shoot better than 40%. Something they haven't done yet. Lakers offense was much better in Game 2 and should continue to score against this poor Blazers defense. Play the OVER 225!
08-21-20	Rangers v. Mariners UNDER 9		4-7	Loss	-108	30 h 43 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Rangers vs Mariners under 9 -108 The UNDER (9) is worth a look in Friday's MLB action between the Rangers and Mariners. Neither of these teams are great offensively. Texas is hitting just .214 as a team and Seattle is only slightly better at .217. Mariners will have a hot starter going in Nick Margevicius. He's got a 1.93 ERA and 0.857 in 2 starts in 2020. Kolby Allard was really good in his first 2 starts before a bad outing at Coors Field, so he's a bit undervalued right now. Play the UNDER 9!
08-20-20	Astros v. Rockies OVER 11.5		10-8	Win	101	23 h 17 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Astros vs Rockies over 11½ +101 The OVER (11.5) is worth a look in Thursday's MLB action between the Astros and Rockies. After both offenses struggled to get anything going in their 2-game series at Houston, these two exploded for 19 runs on 30 hits yesterday. I look for another big offensive showing from these two this afternoon. Play the OVER 11.5!
08-19-20	Jazz v. Nuggets UNDER 218.5	Top	124-105	Loss	-110	30 h 8 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Nuggets under 218½ -110 The UNDER (218.5) is worth a look in Game 2 between the Nuggets and Jazz. These two went off for 260 points in Game 1 (30 points in OT), but I see that as an outlier. Both teams couldn't miss. Utah shot 47% from the field and Denver hit 52%. Jazz made 16 3-pointers and Nuggets connected on 22. You also had two guys go off with Mitchell scoring 57 and Murray putting in 36. Play the UNDER 218.5!
08-17-20	Lightning v. Blue Jackets OVER 5	Top	2-1	Loss	-109	31 h 36 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Lightning vs Blue Jackets over 5 -109 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
08-16-20	Padres v. Diamondbacks OVER 9		4-5	Push	0	24 h 48 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Padres vs Diamondbacks over 9 -107 The OVER (9) is worth a look in Sunday's AL West matchup between the Padres and Diamondbacks. Arizona's offense is on fire right now. Dbacks have scored no fewer than 5 runs in their 6 games. They got 4 games in this stretch where they have scored 7 or more. They are going to need that offense with Robbie Ray on the mound. Ray has 10.58 ERA and 2.116 WHIP in 4 starts. Both teams figure to score early and often. Play the OVER 9!
08-15-20	Rangers v. Rockies OVER 12		6-4	Loss	-106	29 h 39 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Rangers vs Rockies over 12 -106 The OVER (12) is worth a look in Saturday's Interleague matchup between the Rockies and Rangers at hitter friendly Coors Field. After a pretty low scoring (3-2) game on Friday, I look for these two offenses to explode. Ball should really be carry well tonight, as it's going to be in the mid 90s when this game tips off. Play the OVER 12!
08-15-20	Avalanche v. Coyotes OVER 5	Top	2-4	Win	100	21 h 26 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Avalanche vs Coyotes over 5 -140 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
08-13-20	Pirates v. Reds OVER 9	Top	9-6	Win	100	25 h 12 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Pirates vs Reds over 9 -115 The OVER (9) is worth a look in Thursday's MLB action between the Pirates and Reds. I could Cincinnati going off here. Trevor Williams will go for the Pirates. He was great in his last start at home, but has struggled on the road. Williams has a 5.40 ERA and 1.559 WHIP in 2 road starts. Reds starter Anthony Desclafani is 2-6 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.351 WHIP in 13 career starts against the Pirates. This easily gets to 10 runs. Play the OVER 9!
08-12-20	Canadiens v. Flyers UNDER 5.5	Top	1-2	Win	100	33 h 40 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Canadiens vs Flyers under 5½ -125 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
08-12-20	Marlins v. Blue Jays OVER 8.5		14-11	Win	100	27 h 49 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Marlins vs Blue Jays over 8½ -106 The OVER (8.5) is worth a look in Wednesday's interleague matchup between the Blue Jays and Marlins. I think Toronto could hit this mark on their own, as they should put some runs on the board early against Marlins' starter Jordan Yamamoto. He was not good in his first and only start of 2020 last week against the Orioles. Nate Pearson is a solid prospect, but he wasn't nearly as good in start two as he was in his debut. Miami's offense has been scoring of late. Play the OVER 8.5!
08-12-20	Diamondbacks v. Rockies UNDER 12	Top	13-7	Loss	-113	23 h 24 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Diamondbacks vs Rockies under 12 -113 The UNDER (12) is worth a look in Wednesday's NL West matchup between the Rockies and Diamondbacks. Big number here and hard to argue given these two put up 20 in Game 1 and 15 in Game 2 of this 3 game series. However, I think we see them fail to reach the mark tonight. Antonio Senzatela has been great for Colorado and we know Arizona's Luke Weaver is better than his numbers. His last start against the Rockies, which was on the road, he held them to just 1 run on 3 hits with 8 K's. Play the UNDER 12!
08-10-20	Diamondbacks v. Rockies UNDER 11.5		12-8	Loss	-106	29 h 49 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Diamondbacks vs Rockies under 11½ -106 I'll take my chances with the UNDER 11.5 in Monday's MLB action between the Rockies and Diamondbacks. Jon Gray will be on the mound for Colorado and he's been rock solid to start out 2020. Gray has a 3.30 ERA and 0.979 WHIP in 3 starts. Robbie Ray has struggled for the Dbacks, but we know the arm talent is there. The number here is simply too high. Play the UNDER 11.5!
08-10-20	White Sox v. Tigers OVER 9	Top	1-5	Loss	-106	28 h 46 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on White Sox vs Tigers over 9 -106 I'll take my chances with the OVER (9) in Monday's AL Central showdown between the Tigers and White Sox. Ball should be carrying well with the heat index in the mid 90s to start this one. Chicago's offense figures to put up a big number. Michael Fulmer allowed 4 runs on 5 hits (3 HRs) in just 2.7 innings in his first start and that was against a bad Royals lineup. Dallas Keuchel has been solid for Chicago, but I could see him struggling some here. Play the OVER 9!
08-10-20	Thunder v. Suns OVER 225		101-128	Win	100	21 h 25 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Thunder vs Suns over 225 -110 I'll take my chances with the OVER (225) in Monday's early NBA action between the Suns/Thunder. I know the Thunder will be out some of their top guys, but they got enough depth to still be competitive on offense. They were without Adams in their last game and scored 121 with 18 made 3-pointers. Suns have been the talk of the bubble with their 5-0 start. They are winning games with their offense not defense. I see this getting into the 230s. Play the OVER 225!
08-09-20	Yankees v. Rays UNDER 8.5	Top	3-4	Win	100	21 h 15 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Yankees vs Rays under 8½ -107 The UNDER (8.5) is worth a look in Sunday's AL East clash between the Rays and Yankees. I know James Paxton hasn't been good at all in his first two starts for New York, but we know the talent is there and the Rays come into this game having struggled to score. They have just 5 total runs in their last 3 games combined. Paxton also has a strong 3.19 ERA in 5 career starts against the Rays. Charlie Morton will go for Tampa Bay and he's gotten better with each start this season. He's had the Yankees number when he's not starting in New York. Play the UNDER 8.5!
08-09-20	Wizards v. Thunder UNDER 225	Top	103-121	Win	100	20 h 49 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards vs Thunder under 225 -102 The UNDER (225) is worth a look in Sunday's NBA action between the Wizards and Thunder. Washington just doesn't have the fire-power offensively for a total of this magnitude. They come into this game having shot 43.6% or worse from the field in each of their last 3 games. They are scoring just 105.4 ppg in the bubble. Thing is, OKC hasn't been much better offensively, as they have shot 43%, 43%, and 35% in their last 3 games. Play the UNDER 225!
08-08-20	Tigers v. Pirates OVER 9	Top	11-5	Win	100	24 h 29 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Tigers vs Pirates over 9 -112 The OVER (9) is worth a look in Saturday's MLB action between the Pirates and Tigers. These two are coming off an offensive explosion on Friday, as Detroit wound up winning 17-13. The two combined for 30 runs on 32 hits. I'm expecting more of the same. Ivan Nova goes for the Tigers and he's got a 4.22 ERA in 2 starts. Derek Holland brings a 4.76 ERA into this one for Pittsburgh. Play the OVER 9!
08-08-20	Clippers v. Blazers OVER 233.5		122-117	Win	100	13 h 20 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Clippers vs Blazers over 233½ -110 I'll take my chances with the OVER (233.5) on the total in Saturday's NBA action between the Blazers and Clippers. I just don't think the number here is high enough with the offensive fire-power that these two teams bring to the table. Clippers are averaging 117.0 ppg in the bubble and the Blazers are way up there at 124.8 ppg. LA has allowed 110+ in each of their last two and Portland is giving up almost as much as they are scoring in the bubble at 120.0 ppg. Play the OVER 233.5!
08-06-20	Capitals v. Flyers UNDER 6.5	Top	1-3	Win	110	31 h 37 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Capitals vs Flyers under 6½ +110 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
08-06-20	Twins v. Pirates OVER 9	Top	5-6	Win	100	21 h 18 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Twins vs Pirates over 9 -106 The OVER 9 is worth a look in Thursday's MLB matchup between the Twins and Pirates. While yesterday's game ended with just 7 runs, 6 of those 7 runs came in the 9th inning. I think we get a lot more action early on in this one. Minnesota could easily eclipse this number on their own with Pittsburgh starting a reliever in J.T. Brubaker. Play the OVER 9!
08-05-20	Twins v. Pirates OVER 8.5		5-2	Loss	-116	27 h 44 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Twins vs Pirates over 8½ -116 The OVER 8.5 is worth a look in Wednesday's MLB action. I wouldn't be shocked if Minnesota eclipsed this total on their own. Twins are scoring 5.3 runs/game and averaged 9 runs/game in 3 road games against the White Sox (only road games this season). Pirates offense isn't great, but they have been better of their last two games, scoring 7 runs on 18 hits with 16 guys left on base. Play the OVER 8.5!
08-04-20	Indians v. Reds UNDER 8	Top	4-2	Win	102	27 h 43 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Indians vs Reds under 8 +102 The UNDER 8 is worth a look in Tuesday's MLB action between the Reds/Indians. I think we have the perfect storm for a low-scoring game. Cleveland's offense hasn't been able to get anything going in 2020. They come in having scored a whopping 6 runs over their last 6 games. The Reds Tyler Mahle is more than capable of shutting this offense down. Key here is Cincinnati also figures to struggle offensively against Indians starter Shane Bieber, who is off to a great start. He's 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 0.571 WHIP in 2 starts. Play the UNDER 8!
08-02-20	Coyotes v. Predators OVER 5.5	Top	4-3	Win	114	30 h 4 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Coyotes vs Predators over 5½ +114 All NHL picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
08-01-20	Jazz v. Thunder UNDER 212	Top	94-110	Win	100	29 h 47 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Thunder under 212 -110 I'm expecting a very low-scoring game here between the Jazz and Thunder. These are two of the better defensive teams in the league and while we have yet to see OKC in the new bubble, Utah just played a game on Thursday against a fast-paced and high-powered Pelicans offense that ended up with a total of just 210. This is also a big game for both teams as Utah is 4th in the west, just 2 games back of the Clippers for the No. 2 seed. They are also just 1.5-games ahead of OKC, who is currently the No. 6 seed. Play the UNDER 212!
07-31-20	Rays v. Orioles UNDER 10	Top	3-6	Win	100	29 h 0 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Rays vs Orioles under 10 -114 The books have missed the mark here with the total for Friday's MLB matchup between the Orioles and Rays. I just don't see either offense being able to get going with today's pitching matchup of Blake Snell and Alex Cobb. Snell only pitched 2 innings in his first start, but should be able to go deeper here. He didn't give up a run in those 2 innings and 5 of the 6 outs he recorded were via strikeout. Rays also have a very strong bullpen. Cobb was really sharp in his first start. He allowed just 1 run on 4 hits with 6 K's in 5.3 innings at Boston. I really think we could see Cobb return to his old form this year. Play the UNDER 10!
07-31-20	Red Sox v. Yankees UNDER 11		1-5	Win	100	27 h 30 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Red Sox vs Yankees under 11 -114 As difficult as it may be to play the UNDER with how bad Boston starter Ryan Weber was in his first start and the fact that he's going up against a loaded Yankees lineup, there's just too much value with the total sitting at 11 to not take a shot on the UNDER in this one. Play the UNDER 11!
07-30-20	Royals v. Tigers UNDER 10		5-3	Win	100	27 h 48 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Royals vs Tigers under 10 -100 The UNDER 10 is definitely worth a look in Thursday's AL Central matchup between the Tigers and Royals. I get this isn't the most enticing starting pitching matchup with KC's Brady Singer going up against Detroit's Ivan Nova, but both completed 5 innings in their first start. Singer allowed just 2 runs at Cleveland and Nova gave up 3 at Cincinnati. The big key here is these are two teams that are going to struggle at the plate. Royals are hitting just .209 as a team early on and Detroit is even worse at .198. Play the UNDER 10!
07-30-20	Rays v. Braves OVER 8.5	Top	1-2	Loss	-116	27 h 48 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Rays vs Braves over 8½ -116 The OVER 8.5 is worth a shot in Thursday's MLB matchup between the Braves and Rays. Both of these teams are capable of eclipsing this mark on their own. Tampa Bay is averaging 6.2 runs/game and haven't scored fewer than 4 in any game in 2020. Atlanta is averaging 5.5 and that's with them getting shutout in their opener. They have scored 5 or more in 4 of their last 5 and are scoring 7.0 runs/game at home. Play the OVER 8.5!
07-30-20	Jazz v. Pelicans OVER 221	Top	106-104	Loss	-106	32 h 57 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Pelicans over 221 -106 Easy play here on the OVER 221 in Thursday's NBA matchup between the Pelicans and Jazz. All signs point to New Orleans having Zion for this one and even if he doesn't play, there's still a great shot this goes over. Pelicans rank 2nd in the NBA in pace of play, while sitting in the bottom half of the league in defensive efficiency. Utah is 6th in the NBA in offensive efficiency. I see this one easily approaching 225 and likely into the 230's. Play the OVER 221!

07-29-20	Cubs v. Reds OVER 9	Top	7-12	Win	100	28 h 39 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Cubs vs Reds over 9 -111 Most are going to be quick to take the UNDER in Wednesday's NL Central clash between the Cubs and Reds, as you got two starters going that were really good in their first start of 2020. Kyle Hendricks threw a complete game shutout for Chicago, while Sonny Gray gave up just 1 run on 3 hits in 6 innings. However, Hendricks first start came at home and he was a completely different pitcher on the road than he was at home in 2020. Gray's first start came against a bad Tigers offense and now must face a red-hot Cubs offense that has scored 25 runs over their last 3 games. It's also worth pointing out that the heat index will be in the mid 90s, so both starters could fatigue early. Play the OVER 9!
07-29-20	Nationals v. Blue Jays UNDER 8.5		4-0	Win	104	27 h 4 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Nationals vs Blue Jays under 8½ +104 Easy play here on the UNDER 8.5 in Wednesday's matchup between the Blue Jays and Nationals. It wasn't the best first start of the season for Washington's Max Scherzer, but it was against a loaded Yankees lineup. The fact that he was able to strikeout 11 guys in just 5 1/3 innings tells me he's primed for a much better start here. As for Toronto, they send out one of their top prospects in Nate Pearson, who is more than ready for this stage. You also have to factor in just how bad Washington has been offensively early on. Nationals have scored 2 or fewer runs in 4 of their first 5 games. Play the UNDER 8.5!
07-28-20	Blue Jays v. Nationals UNDER 10.5		5-1	Win	100	27 h 34 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Blue Jays vs Nationals under 10½ -106 The UNDER is definitely worth a shot here at 10.5 in Tuesday's MLB action between the Nationals and Blue Jays. This is a much better pitching matchup than most would think. Washington's Austin Voth is not a household name, but in 9 appearance, 8 starts, he posted a 3.30 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 2019. Toronto will counter with former Nationals starter Tanner Roark, who you know is going to be motivated for this start. Also a big plus for Roark is he's facing a Washington lineup that no longer has slugger Anthony Rendon and is missing their best bat of 2020 in Juan Soto. Play the UNDER 10.5!
07-26-20	Marlins v. Phillies OVER 9		11-6	Win	100	20 h 22 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Marlins vs Phillies over 9 -115 Phillies and Marlins should have no problem eclipsing the 9 run mark here. Jose Urena will go for Miami and he's got a 4.45 ERA in 12 career starts against Philadelphia. Vincent Velasquez gets the nod for the Phillies and in his last 3 starts against the Marlins in 2019, he allowed 15 runs on 18 hits in 10 2/3 innings of work. Play OVER 9!
07-25-20	Tigers v. Reds OVER 9		6-4	Win	100	26 h 25 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Tigers vs Reds over 9 -110 I look for the Tigers/Reds to have no problem combining for at least 10 runs in Saturday's matchup. They got to 8 runs on Friday with Detroit's offense doing next to nothing (1 run on 3 hits). Big key here is the conditions for this one are going to be ideal for scoring. Not only is the game being played in a hitter friendly park, but it's going to be around 90 degrees during this game. The ball should carry well and we could see several guys leave the park in this one. Play the OVER 9!
07-25-20	Braves v. Mets UNDER 9	Top	5-3	Win	100	25 h 25 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Braves vs Mets under 9 -120 Easy play here on the UNDER 9 in Saturday's NL East showdown between the Braves and Mets. These two teams struggled to get much of anything going offensively in the opener, as New York won 1-0. While we don't have as strong a starting pitching matchup as we did on Friday, there's just too much value here to pass up with these two needing to reach double-digits. UNDER is 31-14 in the Braves last 45 after scoring and allowing 3 runs or less and a perfect 8-0 in the Mets last 8 home games after a combined score of 2 runs or less. Play the UNDER 9!

15* FAU/OLD DOMINION CBB SHARP WINNER on Florida Atlantic vs Old Dominion under 132 -105 My money is on the UNDER 132 in Wednesday's matchup between FAU and Old Dominion in the first round of the C-USA Tournament. UNDER is 8-2 in the Owls last 10 with a line of +3 to -3 and 9-2 in their last 11 off a loss by 10 or more.

Easy play on the UNDER in this one. UNDER is a perfect 11-0 in the Bengals last 11 road games if they have played their last 3 games on the road.

20* MAGIC/GRIZZLIES NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Magic vs Grizzlies under 224 -110 My money is on the UNDER 224 in Tuesday's NBA matchup between the Grizzlies and Magic. Memphis has really picked up the defensive intensity as they push for a playoff spot. Grizzlies are giving up just 95.4 ppg. Orlando has been one of the slower paced teams this season, but have had a lot of high-scoring games of late, but that's more of who they have played and we are getting a ton of value because of it. BET THE UNDER 224!

Easy play here with how well these two teams are defending. Vegas has allowed 2 or fewer in 3 of their last 4, with two of those being shutouts. Winnipeg has allowed 3 or fewer in 8 of their last 10, holding two of their last 3 to 1 or fewer. BET THE UNDER 6!

15* SHARP PLAY on Pacers vs Bucks under 222 -102 My money is on the UNDER 222 in Wednesday's NBA action that has the Pacers visiting the Bucks. Indiana has won 4 straight and are giving up 98.8 ppg during this stretch. That defense will look to keep the Bucks offense on ice, as Milwaukee followed up a 93 point effort at Charlotte with a mere 89 at Miami. BET THE UNDER 222!

These two teams just recently played on Feb. 11. Wake Forest won that meeting 74-57 at home for a combined score of 131. No where close to the closing total of 149. Now the total is even more in the rematch? I just don't see these two eclipseing 150. BET THE UNDER 149!

25* TEXAS TECH/BAYLOR BIG 12 PLAY OF THE MONTH on Texas Tech vs Baylor under 130½ -109 My money is on the UNDER 130.5 in Monday's Big 12 college hoops action that has Baylor hosting Texas Tech. These two played once already this season and it was a painfully low scoring game, which the Bears snuck out a 57-52 win on the road. I just think Baylor controlled the tempo on the road and will do the same at home. Not to mention we should get a big effort from the Bears after losing at TCU on Saturday. BET THE UNDER 130.5!

20* CAPITALS/WILD NHL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Capitals vs Wild over 5½ -110 My money is on the OVER in Sunday's NHL action that has the Wild hosting the Capitals. I think we are getting value here with the OVER due to the fact that Washington was just shutout in their last game at Winnipeg, while Minnesota just shutout Columbus 5-0 on the road. Wild have scored 5 or more in 3 straight and Washington has allowed 3 or more in 7 straight. BET THE OVER 5.5!

Thing is, OVER is 6-1 in Hornets last 7 when playing on no rest and 14-5 in their last 19 vs a team with a losing record.

Chicago's offense hasn't been able to much of late, scoring just 8 goals in their last 4 games combined. Hard to see them getting going against a St Louis defense that has allowed a whopping 4 goals in their last 5 games.

New York was shutout last week at DC and I think that's playing into this low number. Guardians put up 23 in Week 1 and we just saw the Battlehawks allow 28 last week to Houston. Battlehawks also scored 24 last week. I look for both teams to score 20+ in this one. BET THE OVER 40!
