This is a play on the TEXAS RANGERS as part of our MLB Wednesday Double Play. Texas fell behind 4-0 after three innings last night and could not solve Logan Gilbert and the potent Rangers offense was shutout for the second time this season. They responded with a 12-run outburst after getting blanked the first time. Jon Gray was hit hard in his first start like his counterpart but he has settled down with a 1.23 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in his last three starts. Seattle has now won six of its last seven games to move a game over .500 and we are going against the hot run and the hot arm. Bryce Miller had a rough opening start against Boston but has responded with three quality outings, posting a 0.47 ERA and 0.62 WHIP in those three games but now faces a Rangers team that lit him up both times last season with 13 runs over 6.2 innings. Here, we play on American League teams when the money line is +125 to -125 with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.20 or better on the season, after 2 straight games where the bullpen gave up no earned runs. This situation is 53-26 (67.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (978) Texas Rangers |

This is a play on the DETROIT TIGERS as part of our MLB Wednesday Double Play. Detroit continues its solid start to the season as it has won three straight games to move to 14-10. The Tigers came in as a sleeper to win the American League Central and they are right there, doing it with what exactly was expected, a weak offense and excellent pitching. Jack Flaherty has made four starts, three of which have been quality with one bad outing coming against Oakland of all teams. Facing a struggling offense, he comes in with a 30:4 K:BB ratio and brings in a 1.11 WHIP. Tampa Bay is nothing but an average team and that goes back to last season as after its unearthly start, the Rays came back down to earth. The offense has averaged 2.6 rpg over the last seven games and they will be going with an opener on the hill with Shawn Alexander which puts a lot of pressure on the bullpen. Here, we play on road teams with a starting pitcher whose gives up 1 or more home runs per start and with a bullpen whose ERA is under 2.50 the last 15 games. This situation is 58-30 (65.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (969) Detroit Tigers |

Thunder -7½ -110 at BetVegas |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Top Premium | ||
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Oklahoma St. took Game One as it started to pull away late, stretching the lead to 10 points, their largest advantage of the game, early in the fourth quarter but New Orleans bounced back and actually took a lead with under two minutes left. It was a tough loss for the Pelicans and they will have a tough time playing with the same road energy, especially once again being without Zion Williamson. They have been really good on the road with a 28-15 record but that includes just a 10-10 record against current playoff teams. The Thunder meanwhile improved to 34-8 at home and that includes a 30-5 record when favored. By not covering the first game, we are catching a little value with a shorter line which is always good but we are expecting Oklahoma City to win this one going away as we are already seeing an overall disturbing trend similar to last season with playoff blowouts. Oklahoma City is 28-14 ATS in its last 42 games after allowing 100 points or less. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the 2nd game of a playoff series. This situation is 25-7 ATS (78.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (520) Oklahoma City Thunder |

MLB | Apr 25, 2024 Astros vs Cubs |
Cubs +113 at Ace |
Won $113 |
Play Type: Top Premium | ||
This is a play on the CHICAGO CUBS for our MLB Interleague Game of the Month. The Cubs closed as a short underdog last night despite the disparity in records and it is even more today because of one name. Chicago is 15-9 including 9-3 at home following its second straight win over Houston and we should see a great environment here. The Astros are in a bad place right now as they have the second worst record in the American League with the third worst pitching staff in all of baseball with a 5.14 ERA which includes one of the worst bullpens. Injuries have hurt them and there is hope with Justin Verlander back but he is always overvalued. Verlander looked good in his return as he allowed two runs over six innings against Washington but has a much tougher matchup. Javier Assad counters for Chicago and he has been great with a 2.11 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in four starts and this should not be surprising after he was awesome last season when entering the rotation, allowing more than three runs only once in nine starts and that was in Colorado. Here, we play against road teams with a bullpen whose ERA is 5.00 or worse on the season, stranding 7.5 or more runners on base per game on the season. This situation is 30-9 (76.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (920) Chicago Cubs |
