NBA | Apr 16, 2021 Blazers vs Spurs |
OVER 234 -111 |
Lost $111.0 |
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
|
We think the sky is the limit for this total. This should be a close game and both teams will get their points. Overtime is always a possibility, but we don’t think we will need the extra five minutes to cash this ticket. The Blazers average about 115 points per game. We aren’t worried about their offense. They are healthy now and they have scored 115 or more in four of their last six games. Most of those point totals were against better defensive teams than the Spurs. The over is 4-0 in the Blazers last four as a road favorite and 5-0 against a team with a losing record. So the question is if the Spurs can score enough to get this one over the total. We think so. They have scored 119 or more in three of their last four games. Their offense is playing very well at the moment. They have done this against some pretty solid defensive teams, and on the road no less. They have gone over in four straight and seven out of eight. Portland has the No. 26 defense for points allowed. They allow 115 a game. We think the Spurs can score more than that tonight. Betting the over when these teams meet has been one of the strongest bets in the NBA for years. The over is 36-17 in the last 53 meetings. It is also 7-1 in the last eight meetings in San Antonio. We expect a barnburner tonight! |

Free NBA Pick for Friday from Doc’s Sports. #537 Take Oklahoma City over Detroit (7 p.m. EST, Fri April 15) We were originally eyeing the Pistons here until we heard they are resting three healthy players for this matchup Friday as it’s the first leg of a back-to-back and they have a much tougher matchup at Washington on Saturday. If that’s not blatant tanking, we don’t know what is. Detroit had been playing with a lot of energy lately, but if management doesn’t want to win this one then why would the players give full effort against OKC? The Thunder have looked bad lately. But this is a winnable game for them. They played a spirited game a couple games ago against Utah and easily covered the number. This is probably their best chance to snap a long losing streak. They have much tougher matchups upcoming. The Thunder are one of the worst teams in the NBA and dealing with injuries at the moment, but we’re not sure if the Pistons should be laying this many points against anyone. This is the most points they have given out this season. With players out for both teams we will take the points here in what will be a glorified game of street ball. |

MLB | Apr 16, 2021 Cardinals vs Phillies |
Phillies -1½ +145 at pinnacle |

5-Units: Take 906 PHILLIES -1.5, RL Over STL CARDINALS (7:05pm E, Friday April 16th) The Phillies are coming off of two series where they've been swinging very hot bats. They have as good of an offensive squad as they've had in years. On the other hand, the Cardinals are having trouble getting runs across the plate. They will open up, but let's catch them before they do. We see a pretty lopsided game, here. |

5-Units: Take 922 KC ROYALS +100 Over Toronto Blue Jays (8:10pm, E, Friday, April 16th) The Royals are finally playing good ball and scoring some runs. Pitcher, Mike Minor, just keeps getting better and if he outdoes his last start, 1 run on 4 hits, the Royals can start flexing their muscles, again. |

Cubs -102 at pinnacle |

5-Units: Take 902 CUBS -110 Over Atlanta (12:20pm E, Friday, April 13th) The Cubs have a good team - they just haven't shown it, yet. The Braves have been impressive in this early season. We still like the Cubs at Wrigley. The wind is blowing in, so it shouldn't be a high-scoring game and the Cubbies always seem to get off to an early series start, at home. We'll take Chicago and watch them protect they're home turf. |

SERVICE BIO |

Doc's Sports Service has been in the sports handicapping business since 1971, and we are recognized as one of the leaders and most trusted names in the industry. Most handicapping services are one-man operations, but here at Doc’s Sports we are among the most progressive thinkers in the industry, and we have assembled some of the finest experts in the country for our service. We are one of the few handicapping companies that have withstood the test of time because of hard work, honesty and consistently of providing winners to our valued clients. Since 1971 Doc’s Sports became famous for our college football Big Ten Game of the Year that won and covered the point spread 19 years in a row. Doc’s Sports is one of the only handicapping services whose powerful influence has historically moved the official Las Vegas line more than seven points. At Doc’s Sports we often focus on lesser-known teams and less-popular games as oftentimes less information is available on those teams and games and certain trends tend to stick out and offer value that the average person may not catch. Oddsmakers set lines to balance the action, so in reality we're often handicapping against the general public perception, and the general public rarely ever wins long term. When you think of it that way our job is really not that difficult since we have more than four decades of experience and know what to look for when handicapping a game. The sportsbooks and oddsmakers have to handicap and set lines for every game -- we simply find a few of their mistakes. Doc’s Sports uses a combination of technical and fundamental handicapping along with exclusive information that we gather from a vast network of contacts that we have developed over the past 40+ years. At Doc’s Sports we built our name in the 1970s by becoming one of the best in handicapping college sports. That still holds true today as our best results still come from college football and college basketball. We also have individual full-time handicappers for NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, WNBA, CFL and major horse races, and we feel we have some of the top experts in the country in these designated fields. We are always in search of the best talent for our team, and what surprises most people is that some of our best information comes from our own clients. These are trusted clients that have been not only customers but have turned into friends of ours over the years, and they are able to pick up on key information in their areas. We love the feeling of being able to help people make money when facing challenging odds. Good money can be made if one has the connections, and here at Doc's Sports we pride ourselves on uncovering the edge that gives the clients the ability to beat the books on a consistent basis. |
