Health issues within the team and coaching staff are expected to make the Seattle Storm's defense of their WNBA title much more difficult and makes them weak home dogs here as well vs the Phoenix Mercury. I know the Mercury are banged up as well but Phoenix, , still has two of the league's top players on the floor and prepared to go in superstar Brittney Griner (20.5 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 2.6 blocks per game) and DeWanna Bonner (17.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg). The Mercury also took versatile Stanford star Alanna Smith in the first round of last month's draft. Note: PHOENIX is 16-5 ATS in road games over the last 2 seasons. WNBA Home teams with a money line of +135 to -155 (SEATTLE) - good free throw shooting team from last season - made 76% or more of their free throws are 5-20 L/25 seasons for go against 80% conversion rate with a the average ppg diff clicking in at 7.7 ppg.

Rays RH Charlie Morton (4-0, 2.65 ERA) vs. Indians RH Carlos Carrasco (4-4, 4.30) Rays Righty Charlie Morton according to my cross reference pitcher vs batter power rankings Im betting wlll have have success against a lineup of Indians hitters that struggle big time against righties.Note: Morton, who was 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in two starts against the Indians last year. Meanwhile, Carrasco the Tribes starter can be dominate when hes on his game, and Im betting he will be. Last time out, Carrasco had his streak of 13 consecutive scoreless innings snapped, as he gave up three runs in five innings, and looks like a mortal coming in this tilt vs a tough TB side. Note: Carrasco was 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in two games versus Tampa Bay in 2018. Rays are 25-11 in their last 36 road games.Indians are 2-5 in Carrascos last 7 starts vs. a team with a winning record.Indians are 1-4 in Carrascos last 5 starts vs. American League East.Rays are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Cleveland.

Jackson struggled a bit in his first start for the Blue Jays last time out, and took a loss but Im betting on him bouncing back this afternoon and leading the Jays to the promised land.

NBA | May 25, 2019 Bucks vs Raptors |
UNDER 212 -105 |

Eastern Conference - Finals - Best of 7 - Game 6 - TOR Leads 3-2 The Raptors have made the Bucks look bad in the last two meetings on this series. It must be noted that Milwaukee has stayed UNDER 10 straight times with rest when they are off two double-digit ATS losses and the line is -3 to a pick. Overall in this series the Bucks and the Raptors have struggled offensively .In game 5 the ugliness of this series was highlighted as Toronto went 31-of-84 from the field while the Bucks were 38-of-84. The Raptors actually made seven fewer FGs, but they came out on top because they made twelve more charity stripe conversions than the Bucks. Tonight with so much on the line, I expect this to be a very physical game that stays on the low side of the total. Under is 14-6 in Bucks last 20 games following a straight up loss.Under is 9-4-1 in Raptors last 14 games following a straight up win.NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (MILWAUKEE) - revenging a straight up loss vs opponent as a home favorite of 7 or more against opponent off an upset win as an underdog are 36-13 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 73% conversion rate for bettors.

Red Sox LH David Price (2-2, 3.29 ERA) vs. Astros RH Brad Peacock (5-2, 3.59) Price returned from the injured list for his most recent start in Toronto, and looked comfortable over five shutout innings. His pitch count will be worth monitoring, as he threw just 67 in that outing and will be very fresh here vs Houston tonight and gets my backing.Price is 6-2 with a 2.94 ERA in 12 career regular-season appearances (10 starts) PRICE is 18-6 against the money line when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. 62% ro better in his career. (Team's Record) Note: Houstons starting hurler Peacock is 1-2 with an 8.36 ERA in five career appearances (four starts) versus the BoSox. Astros are 2-5 in Peacocks last 7 home starts vs. a team with a winning record.MLB Home favorites with a money line of -125 to -175 (HOUSTON) - hot hitting team - batting .280 or better over their last 20 games, in May games are 14-33 L/5 seasons for go against 70% conversion rate for bettors.

Experience & Awards I have been wagering professionally on sports and horse racing for 30 years. My picks have been documented for 20 years. I have earned numerous top 10 Basketball and Football finishes. My college football picks have profited in 16 of my last 18 seasons. In 2011 I went 68% for the year. I was the 2009 NFL Handicapper of the Year in 2009 in a prestigous event. I won the Ultimate Football NFL Championship in 2006. In 2014 I overcame a slow start to finish 59-32 65%! I have been an NBA World Champion with 7 winning seasons the last 8 years. I also continue to beat the College Hoops book makers with a high volume attack on a yearly basis. Handicapping Approach I have a firm belief in my systems. There is not a sport I feel I can not beat. My handicapping can be best referred to as the 'The Smart Money Approach". I leave no stone unturned. I have a large database of information and statistics. I also take into consideration injuries, current and historical trends, and form. I also factor in the weather, surface conditions, and line movement. Sports Betting Is An Investment Many gamblers offer causal explanations for long runs of good and bad performance. The same is true of financial analysts. The records of bettors and investors show the same variable successes and failures. Both investment opportunities show significant variables and both can give the investor an advantage. You need to do the proper research to consider all the facts. If you do so a long term profit is more than attainable. I think sports betting is even better than the stock market. The investor/bettor has much more control over his funds. You can take a short break, and almost always know your bankroll has not been untouched. In the markets you are leaving your 401K and other mutual investments in the hands of a volatile marketplace. Plus, you are being torched for huge handling fees by brokers on individual investments. These fees would make sports book managers drool. I am not saying it is easy making a living from sports betting. But, the small percent who do consistently beat the books have a much better rate of return than that of any market investor! This is the outlook I have on every wager I place in the sports wagering markets. I take my portfolio very seriously! Money Management To be a successful and profitable sports bettor you must always have a long term goal. Set that standard before you begin. You need to set aside a fairly substantial bankroll. If you want to be conservative you would wager no more than 1-2% of your bankroll per game. No more than 3% on the best bets. This might seem a little on the low side. But, this is a long and turbulent battle with the books. You will be happy that you practiced good money management and frugality. Here are some additional guidelines I recommend. 1. Shop for your best possible lines (rogue lines) from the most reputable sources. 2. Stay disciplined and do not stray from recommended bankroll allocation on individual wagers. Chasing your wagers never a good idea. 3. Always keep in mind that your bankroll is your life line. It must be treated the same way you would treat finances allocated for any business venture. 4. Buy off the hook on key numbers. 5. Understanding the importance and the art of middling. 6. Keep a record of all your wagers and results and use them as part of over all statistical data base. These are some important factors that will help you in your quest for long term profits. I leave you with a thought from the late great Jimmy the Greek. The house does not beat the player, it just gives him the opportunity to beat himself. *Almost all selections have the same allocated bankroll %(which equals 1 betting unit). Strong selections will see our single game wagers doubled. These plays are rated as GENERALS CLUB selections. |
