09-27-23 | Astros -118 v. Mariners | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #923 Houston over Seattle (9:40p.m., Wednesday, September 27 MLBN) This is the most important game of the season for both Houston and Seattle. The loser will be in trouble and might miss out on the 2023 playoffs starting next week. I just cannot envision the defending champions with this lineup missing the postseason altogether. Houston has the edge in pitching tonight with Framber Valdez on the mound compared to Byrce Miller. He was hit hard last time out against Texas giving up 6 earned runs in just over 4 innings of work. The Astros are better on both sides of the diamond tonight and will get this must win game by a couple of runs. They could not get the big hit last night but that will change on Wednesday. |

09-26-23 | Astros +113 v. Mariners | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #975 Houston over Seattle (10:05p.m., Tuesday, September 26 TBS) We have seen an inordinate number of sweeps from the AL West and it would not surprise me in Houston wins the first two games of this series. Cristian Javier receives a ton of run support and the Mariners are starting to play tight, losing 4 straight games. |
|||||||
09-26-23 | Wings v. Aces UNDER 175.5 | 84-91 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #616 Under in Dallas Wings @ Las Vegas Aces (10p.m., Tuesday, September 26 ESPN) Look for the law of averages to come back to reality on Tuesday and the under will hit with a Dallas game. Both games should have stayed under in the first round, but Atlanta played a terrible style of basketball in the fourth quarter. The under has hit in 7 of the last 10 Aces home games. The Under has hit in 6 of the last 8 games in Las Vegas between Dallas and Vegas. |
|||||||
09-25-23 | Astros +116 v. Mariners | 5-1 | Win | 116 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #905 Houston over Seattle (9:40p.m., Monday, September 25 MLB.tv) Both teams come in limping and it is likely that one of them will miss the playoffs come next week. Texas has all but won the division and this is a must have series win for both teams. No way Justin Verlander should be an underdog with the line-up behind him. Luis Castillo is good but he has given up some runs in each of his last two starts to bad teams in Oakland and Los Angeles (AL). Houston has performed bad against Seattle this season but look for that to change on Monday. They have a champion pedigree and this is a game they need in the worst way. |
|||||||
09-24-23 | Saints v. Packers -2 | 17-18 | Loss | -110 | 97 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #460 Green Bay Packers over New Orleans Saints (1p.m., Sunday, September 24 FOX) Just not a fan of Coach Dennis Allen and the New Orleans Saints. The Packers should get some offensive lineman back for this game and this is their first home game of the season. The Saints are off a short week and will be playing back-to-back road games. Coach LaFleur is 5-0 in his career when playing against undefeated teams. Green Bay is 8-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 home openers. When good teams play in the NFL the team that needs it more generally gets it and the Packers certainly need it more. |
|||||||
09-24-23 | Patriots -2.5 v. Jets | 15-10 | Win | 100 | 97 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #547 New England Patriots over New York Jets (1p.m., Sunday, September 24 CBS) The Patriots are just not the same team without Tom Brady, but they can still beat the Jets. New England has dominated this matchup, winning 14 straight games and going 10-4 ATS during this span. Their average margin of victory is 18 points in the last 14 wins they have had against New York. The Patriots lost two home games to open the 2023 season, but they were competitive in both games with a chance late. They will dominate this game for 60 minutes. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Mariners v. Rangers -121 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #926 Texas over Seattle (7:05p.m., Saturday, September 23 MLB.tv) The Rangers struggled to put away the Mariners on Friday despite an 8-0 lead, but they won that game. Look for them to win the first two games behind Jordan Montgomery Saturday night. Left handers can neutral much of the Mariners power and look for that to be the case on Saturday. The AL West is down to three teams and look for treaky Seattle to drop the first two in this series. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Colorado State v. Middle Tennessee State -2 | 31-23 | Loss | -110 | 104 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #420 Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders over Colorado State Rams (7p.m., Saturday, September 23 ESPN+) This is a tough ask for the Rams, as they will be playing their second straight road game and should have beaten Colorado last night out. That game in Boulder did not end until after midnight and I just believe that they are gassed and will not have anything left for this game. The Blue Raiders won 8 games last year and one of those wins came in Fort Collins by 15 points. They opened the season with two paycheck games against SEC teams and took Missouri to the wire, a team that just beat Kansas State. If MSTU plays well on offense, they will win this game by double digits. Look for that to happen, especially since the Rams are in a prime letdown spot. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Ole Miss v. Alabama -6.5 | Top | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 49 h 52 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #394 Alabama Crimson Tide over Ole Miss Rebels (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 23 CBS) TOP NCAA PLAY OF THE WEEK Many pundits and fans are throwing dirt on the grave of Alabama and Nick Saban, but I am not one of them. They have major issues at quarterback, but I feel they will right the ship on Saturday and win this game by double digits. Nick Saban is not a fan of Lane Kiffin, and he is 28-3 lifetime when facing his former assistants. Ole Miss never has a strong defense and tries to win most of their games by outscoring their opponents. They have beaten Alabama once in the past 16 meetings, and they just do not have the depth of a Nick Saban team. This is the game that Alabama will right the ship, and getting them at home with less than a touchdown is too good to pass up. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Auburn v. Texas A&M OVER 51 | 10-27 | Loss | -110 | 72 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #407 Over in Auburn Tigers @ Texas A&M Aggies (12p.m., Saturday, September 23 ESPN) These are two offensive minded teams with Hugh Freeze and Bobby Petrino calling plays for each team. The Aggies have put up points in all 3 of their games and are 14th in the country at 44 pointe per game. They could be 3-0 but turnovers did them in against Miami in Week 2. Auburn is not as polished with a first year coach but they are still averaging 39 points per game despite scoring just 14 point in Berkeley. Texas A&M playing at home should dictate the flow of this game and Jimo Fisher is all in on lighting up the scoreboard this season (to keep the boosters from buying him out). |
|||||||
09-22-23 | Mariners v. Rangers -120 | 5-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #972 Take Texas over Seattle (8:05p.m., Friday, September 22 MLB.tv) This is a battle for the AL West, as two of the three teams involved in the pennant chase are playing tonight at Glode Life Field. Texas has dominated Seattle this season, winning 5 of the 6 meetings and outscoring them 36-18 in those games. Dane Dunning is coming off a solid outing las time out against Cleveland throwing 5 shutout innings. Texas needs to win this series at home expect them to take game one in dominating fashion. |
|||||||
09-22-23 | Saskatchewan v. Ottawa +2 | 28-36 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take 682 Ottawa Redblacks over Saskatchewan Roughriders (Friday, Sept. 22, 7:00 PM CBSSN) Even though the Redblacks are in the midst of a 7-game losing streak, we like for them to rebound and stop the bleeding here. They still have a better scoring offense (24 ppg vs. 21.2) AND a better scoring defense (27 ppg vs. 29.9) During this losing streak, the Roughriders beat Ottawa 26-24 in Saskatchewan. |
|||||||
09-21-23 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -129 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #914 New York over Toronto (7:05p.m., Thursday, September 21 MLB.tv) The Yankees do not have much to play for, but Gerritt Cole has a great chance to win the Cy Young award. Look for the Yankees to use their best line-up this evening to give him a great chance to score some runs on offense. That is something the Yankees have struggled with much of the season but should be able to get good swings against Jose Berrios. He has pitched better of late against bottom feeder teams, but I do not see him shutting down the Yankees on Thursday. New York has a knack for salvaging games to avoid being swept and expect that to happen tonight at the stadium. |
|||||||
09-20-23 | Mariners v. A's OVER 8 | Top | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #969 Over in Seattle @ Oakland (3:37p.m., Wednesday, September 20 MLB.tv) Just feel that one of these pitchers is going to get lit up today at the Coliseum. Geroge Kirby has not been the same pitcher of late, giving up 4 runs in each of his last 3 starts. His last 5 starts have all gone over today’s posted number. His counterpart is Joey Estes, a pitcher making his MLB debut. His number in the hitter friendly Triple A were not good and I expect the Mariners to hit him hard second time through the lineup. Oakland swing the bats decent last night against tough competition and I feel they will be able to score 4-5 runs in this game and that should put us in good shape to hit the over. |
|||||||
09-19-23 | Mariners -1.5 v. A's | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #923 Seattle (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (9:40p.m., Tuesday, September 19 MLB.tv) The Mariners got a break last night with Texas and Houston blowing late leads. Now they have one of their aces on the mound and expect them to win and cover the run line against a bad Oakland team. Seattle has fattened up their record against Oakland this season and tonight should be no different. |
|||||||
09-19-23 | Dream v. Wings UNDER 171 | 74-101 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #758 Under in Atlanta @ Dallas (9p.m., Tuesday, September 19 ESPN) It look a ridiculous amount of first quarter points to have this game get over the posted total on Friday. I do not see that happening again and thus we will side with the under. In the last 9 meetings between Atlanta and Dallas, they under has collected 7 times. That includes the under cashing 5 of the last 7 games in Dallas. |
|||||||
09-18-23 | Orioles v. Astros -1.5 | 8-7 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #964 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Baltimore (8:10p.m., Monday, September 18 MLB.tv) Houston has been going through the motions of late against bad teams, but should be up for this series against the best team in the American League. Baltimore is coming off a hard-fought series against Tampa Bay and expect a letdown in this game. Justin Verlander will get back on track and Houston will win this game comfortably. |
|||||||
09-17-23 | Commanders v. Broncos -3 | 35-33 | Loss | -120 | 99 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #286 Denver Broncos over Washington Commanders (4:25p.m., Sunday, September 17 CBS) The Broncos cannot afford to lose two straight games at home to open up the 2023 season. The Commanders did not look much better beating an Arizona team at home by just 4 points. That is a Cardinal team many people believe is tanking this season. The home team is this matchup has won 5 straight games and gone 4-1 ATS. QB Wilson is better than QB Howell and Denver will dig deep to win this game by double digits. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Astros -142 v. Royals | 8-10 | Loss | -142 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #969 Houston -145 over Kansas City (7:10p.m., Saturday, September 16 MLB.tv) The Astros bats went cold on Friday when they could not get a big hit. Despite winning, Kansas City taxed their bullpen last night and look for that to show up in this game on Saturday night. Houston got lucky last night with Texas and Seattle both losing, but they cannot afford to start 1-4 in their last 5 games against Oakland and Kansas City. Houston is 8-1 in their last 9 road games. J.P. France is coming off a solid outing last time out against San Diego, throwing a quality start of 6 innings and just 1 earned run. Now he gets to face a much lighter hitting lineup in Kansas City on Saturday. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Tennessee v. Florida +6.5 | Top | 16-29 | Win | 100 | 54 h 51 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #176 Florida Gators over Tennessee Volunteers (7p.m., Saturday, September 16 ESPN) The SEC appears to be way down this season and giving this many points on the road is not a recipe for success. Florida has dominated this series, winning 16 of the last 18 matchups. Tennessee has not won in Gainesville since 2003. Tennessee was loaded last year and still only beat Florida by 5 points in 2022 and that game was in Knoxville. The underdog has dominated Florida games going 14-3 ATS in their last 17 lined games. This is a rivalry game and Florida should be motivated to put on a good show and get their coach and quarterback off the hot seat. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | San Diego State v. Oregon State -24 | 9-26 | Loss | -110 | 74 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #156 Oregon State Beavers over San Diego State Aztecs (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 16 FS1) The Beavers and Cougars are wrecking havoc in the nonconference season, especially when play a conference they may be forced to join next season. Oregon State has pounded opponents in two straight games giving up only 24 combined points in those affairs. The Aztecs played a home game last week against UCLA and gave up 550 totals yards of offense. This Beavers team is better on both sides of the play than UCLA and they are at home for this game. Oregon State is on an 8-0 ATS run, and San Diego State is never a strong team on offense under Brady Hoke. Lay the wood in this game. |
|||||||
09-15-23 | Dream v. Wings UNDER 169.5 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #648 Under in Atlanta Dream at Dallas Wings (9:30p.m., Friday, September 15 ESPN2) Playoff basketball is a different animal, and these two teams are very similar. Look for this game to be played in the high seventies or low eighties and that will allow us to cash this ticket. Atlanta has gone under the posted total in their last 3 games. The under has hit 5 of the last 6 games these two teams have played in Dallas. The under has hit 7 of the last 8 meetings between Atlanta and Dallas. |
|||||||
09-15-23 | Astros -1.5 v. Royals | 2-4 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #921 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Kansas City (8:10p.m., Friday, September 15 MLB.tv) I am shocked that Zack Greinke is still in the league and his 1-15 mark is very impressive. His opponent is Cristian Javier and he gets ger run support and that will be the difference in this game tonight. Sooner or later, the Houston offense will explode and we will collect in the big way. |
|||||||
09-15-23 | Virginia v. Maryland -14 | 14-42 | Win | 100 | 96 h 43 m | Show | |
Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #110 Maryland Terrapins over Virginia Cavilers (Friday, September 15 FS1) Maryland came out flat last week against before turning it on in the second half. Look for that to carryover into this game against a deflated team that is a power 5 team in name only. Virginia should have beaten James Madison last week but fell apart in the fourth quarterback being outscored 12-0 to lose by a point. Now they travel north to play an old rival and expect Maryland to win this game by 20+ points. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend card featuring plays in MLB, NFL, NCAAF, WNBA, and more. We nailed 3 top plays over the weekend and now is the time to jump on board with a veteran handicapper that has been in business since 1971! |

09-14-23 | Vikings +6 v. Eagles | 28-34 | Push | 0 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #103 Minnesota Vikings over Philadelphia Eagles (8:15p.m., Thursday, September 14 Prime) Everyone expected regression from the Vikings this season, as they won a ton of close games in 2022. We only need a close game tonight to win money and do not expect a blowout. Philadelphia did not look good last week and losing both coordinators from their Super Bowl team in 2022 may have caught up with them. |
|||||||
09-14-23 | Diamondbacks +107 v. Mets | 1-11 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 26 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #955 Arizona +105 over New York (4:10p.m., Thursday, September 14 MLBN) The Diamondbacks are in the heat of a playoff race and should never be an underdog to the Mets. Arizona has one of their two aces on the mound in Merrill Kelly and he has been solid all season and today should be no different. The Mets have been one of the most disappointing teams in 2023 and we will fade them when the time is right, especially when they are a favorite. |
|||||||
09-13-23 | A's v. Astros -1.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #920 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (7:10p.m., Wednesday, September 13 MLB.tv) Oakland is not sweeping Houston at Minute Maid Park. The Astros have been dominated in the first two games, not hitting at all. They cannot afford to be swept by the Athletics, as they still have in a battle for the division and wild card. Paul Blackburn is the best Oakland has to offer, but he still has a 1.51 E.R.A. and he will not be able to pitch out of trouble in this game. Houston has been a -290 favorite three straight games and they are not going to lose all 3 of them to the worst team in the league. We will side with the Run Line and expect a blowout on getaway day. |
|||||||
09-12-23 | Yankees +120 v. Red Sox | 4-1 | Win | 120 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #965 New York +120 over Boston (7:10p.m., Tuesday, September 12 TBS) We are playing the Yankees in both games at an underdog price. Remember to play action in all selections this season. Both teams are out of it, and I feel the Yankees will at least win one of these games. The pitchers for the most part are not any good, but the Yankees pitched well on Sunday and look for that to carryover into this game. |
|||||||
09-12-23 | Yankees +138 v. Red Sox | 3-2 | Win | 138 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #986 New York +130 over Boston (1:35p.m., Tuesday, September 12 MLB.tv) We are playing the Yankees in both games at an underdog price. Remember to play action in all selections this season. Both teams are out of it, and I feel the Yankees will at least win one of these games. The pitchers for the most part are not any good, but the Yankees pitched well on Sunday and look for that to carryover into this game. |

09-11-23 | A's v. Astros -1.5 | 4-0 | Loss | -125 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #924 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (8:10p.m., Monday, September 11 MLB.tv) Getting the best team in the American League at this price on the run line is too good to pass up. The Astros easily collected for us over the weekend on a pair of underdog prices and tonight should be no different. Oakland is terrible and 20-52 on the road this season. Mason Miller has not pitched badly in limited action, but he will be overwhelmed by this Astros lineup. This will allow Framber Valdez to keep his hot streak going and record his third straight victory. Look for Houston to dominate this series and it will start on Monday. Houston has beaten Oakland 10 of the last 11 games. |
|||||||
09-10-23 | Cowboys v. Giants +3.5 | 40-0 | Loss | -115 | 122 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #480 New York Giants over Dallas Cowboys (8:20p.m., Sunday, September 10 NBC) The Giants have been terrible in the division of late, but I feel Dallas is once again overvalued and we will grab the points. New York finished last season strong covering the spread in 6 of their final 7 games. The Giants had a good draft on paper and Dallas lost their offensive coordinator from last season. Just do not believe Dallas is going to come into MetLife Stadium on Sunday Night Football and blowout the home team. |

09-10-23 | Padres v. Astros -1.5 | 2-12 | Win | 125 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #978 Houston (-1.5 RL) over San Diego (2:10p.m., Sunday, September 10 MLB.tv) This is the rubber game of this series and look for the Astros to win it and cover the run line behind J.P. France. San Diego has a great lineup, but they are not playing to their potential this season and they are one of the most disappointing teams in all of baseball. They are starting a young pitcher with not much experience and has not looked good with this limited action (5.12 E.R.A.). Houston wants to win the division and secure a bye and they cannot afford to lose these series at home. |
|||||||
09-10-23 | 49ers v. Steelers +2.5 | 30-7 | Loss | -110 | 114 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #466 Pittsburgh Steelers over San Francisco 49ers (1p.m., Sunday, September 10 FOX) Mike Tomlin just wins games and I will ride him in the opener against a suspect team in San Francisco. I am not sold on the 49ers quarterback situation and actually feel Pittsburgh is in better shape with Kenny Pickett under center. The Steelers went 4-1 ATS against NFC teams in 2022. Nick Bosa is still unsigned and I am not expecting much from him if he decides to show up. That is a major loss for the 49ers defense and they are just not the same team without him. Pittsburgh is 7-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games as a home underdog. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Charlotte v. Maryland -24 | 20-38 | Loss | -110 | 97 h 55 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take Maryland Terrapins over Charlotte 49ers (7:30p.m., Saturday, September 9 NBC) Maryland usually beats up on teams in nonconference play and tonight should be no different. Chalotte is an inexperienced team in 2023 with a ton of transfer but that does not mean they are talented transfers that were sought out by other teams. The 49ers were terrible on defense last year and look for Taulia Tagovailoa to pick apart this team for 60 minutes. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Texas v. Alabama -7 | 34-24 | Loss | -110 | 97 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #384 Alabama Crimson Tide over Texas Longhorns (7p.m., Saturday, September 9 ESPN) Alabama has been hearing all summer long how they are not the same dominating team as they were in the past and Georgia has clearly surpassed them. Texas did not look good on offense early and I believe Alabama will dominate the line of scrimmage in this game. The Crimson Tide are 13-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 nonconference games against Power 5 teams. This is a coaching mismatch and Coach Sark is 0-3 ATS when he is a road underdog while at Texas. The Longhorns played well last season against Alabama and still lost and I see them losing by double digits tonight in Tuscaloosa. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Padres v. Astros -1.5 | 5-7 | Win | 162 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #930 Houston (-1.5 RL) +160 over San Diego (7:10p.m., Saturday, September 9 MLBN) Houston needs to put it together in their home games and tonight should be that night. Cristian Javier receives a ton of run support this season and is 9-3 on the year. Seth Lugo is not the same pitcher against good team and Houston may be the best team in the American League. |
|||||||
09-08-23 | Padres v. Astros -122 | 11-2 | Loss | -122 | 21 h 36 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take Houston over San Diego (8:10p.m., Friday, September 7 MLB.tv) Houston is not the same team playing at home, but they are on fire and scoring a ton of runs. Getting them at this price tonight against a team that is out of the wild card race is too good to pass up. The pitching matchup favors San Diego, but the Astros just pounded a great starter on Wednesday and it would not surprise me if they lite up Blake Snell tonight. |
|||||||
09-06-23 | Astros +122 v. Rangers | 12-3 | Win | 122 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #975 Houston +120 over Texas (8:05p.m., Wednesday, September 6 MLB.tv) What a matchup we have on Wednesday night, as former teammates from this year are set to square off against one another. I don’t think the pitchers matter, as these two teams are heading in opposite directions. Houston is hitting the ball all over the place and I just do not believe Texas can keep up. Getting this underdog price with Houston is too good to pass up. |
|||||||
09-05-23 | Astros -109 v. Rangers | 14-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #923 Houston -110 over Texas (8:05p.m., Tuesday, September 5 TBS) The Rangers are a sinking ship and Houston is a much better team when playing on the road. Houston has won 6 straight road games and they can come from behind unlike any other team in the league. Framber Valdez is back on the mound on Tuesday, and we cashed a top play with him last week. He was staked to a big lead in that game and expect more of the same on Tuesday. Nathan Eovaldi has been out for close to 50 days with an injury and I just am not expecting much from him tonight. |

09-04-23 | Phillies v. Padres OVER 9 | Top | 9-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show |
Remember to play all MLB games this year as action 10 Unit Play. Take #957 Over in Philadelphia Phillies @ San Diego Padres (6:40p.m., Monday, September 4 MLBN) Just believe that one of tonight’s starting pitchers is going to get pounded. Both starting pitchers have been hit hard of late and Rich Hill should not even be in the league anymore. I am amazed that he gets anybody out with his stuff and his 1.50 WHIP. These teams have met four times this season and all four of those games have gone over tonight’s posted number (5 straight times dating back to 2022). Both teams have a ton of home run hitters up and down their lineup and the Padres are playing better of late having swept the Giants over the weekend. But ultimately this play comes down to pitching and I just do not believe they can be dominate against both lineups. |

5 Unit Play. Take 675 Toronto Argonauts -7.5 at Hamilton TigerCats (Monday, Sept. 4th, 3:30 p.m.) Toronto, with the league's highest-scoring offense at 34.1 ppg, takes on the league's 3rd-worst scoring D at 26.1 ppg. Toronto's scoring differential is +11.22, while Hamilton's is -6.10. The Args are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games, and 4-2 in the L/6 games at the TiCats. Take the favorite here. |

09-03-23 | Mystics -2.5 v. Sparks | 64-72 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #661 Washington -2.5 over Los Angeles (7:30p.m., Sunday, September 3 local) Washington is a better team when they are whole and need to win these type of games for a better seeding in the 2023 WNBA Playoffs later this month. The Sparks still have a ton of injuries and just one great player. That will not be enough tonight to keep this game close. |
|||||||
09-03-23 | Yankees v. Astros -132 | 6-1 | Loss | -132 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #924 Houston -130 over New York (7:10p.m., Sunday, September 3 ESPN) Houston has not been the same team at home this season compared to on the road. They are just 35-33 at home but have the right man on the mound tonight. Cristian Javier gets a ton of run support on the season and is 9-2. Look for Houston to jump out early and avoid another sweep at home. |
|||||||
09-03-23 | Winnipeg v. Saskatchewan OVER 48 | 30-32 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take 673 OVER 48 in Winnipeg Jets at Saskatchewan Roughriders (Sunday, Sept. 3rd, 7 p.m. CBSSN) Winnipeg has struggled ATS in its last 5 games, going 2-3 ATS in that stretch. But they haven't struggled scoring in the least, averaging 36.4 ppg while allowing 18.4 ppg. The Roughriders are on the opposite end of that spectrum, surrendering 28.4 ppg while putting up 18.4 ppg. The Jets have gone over 30 points in seven of their games. They could cover the over themselves, but figure to get a wee bit of help for the Roughriders. Either way, expect an offensive display in Sunday night's game. |
|||||||
09-02-23 | West Virginia v. Penn State OVER 50 | 15-38 | Win | 100 | 79 h 36 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #223 Over in West Virginia Mountaineers @ Penn State Nittany Lions (7:30p.m., Saturday, September 2 NBC) Hopefully we will not have to hear that annoying promo anymore, as the Big 10 now plays games on NBC. West Virginia has a coach on the hot seat, and it is important that Neal Brown make progress this season, especially on the offensive side of the football. West Virginia did average 31 points per game and if they come close to that mark in Happy Valley we should easily collect on this ticket. Penn State returns 8 starters on offense and should be able to move up and down the field in this game. This total has been dropping all week and now the value squarely lies with the over. |
|||||||
09-02-23 | Yankees v. Astros -1.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #972 Houston (-1.5 RL) +110 over New York (7:10p.m., Saturday, September 2 MLB.tv) The Yankees hit some home runs last night, including two in the first inning and never looked back. But they are still a paid offensive team and have a pitcher on the mound tonight that is a shell of his former self. The Astros are not the same team at home this season as they are on the road, but they cannot afford to lose a series to the Yankees. Look for their bats to come alive tonight and win this game over the run line. |
|||||||
09-02-23 | Washington State v. Colorado State +11.5 | 50-24 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 7 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #194 Colorado State Rams over Washington State Cougars (7p.m., Saturday, September 2 CBBSN) The Rams need/should be better in 2023 under Jay Norvell in his second season. Washington State has been told all summer that they are not wanted and eventually that will take its toll on this team. They also host Wisconsin on deck, so there could be a look ahead factor in this game. Coach Norvell is 9-3 ATS as a home underdog in his coaching career. They return starters on both sides of the football and they should be much better on offense in year two of this system. Look for both team to feel each other out early in this game and if it is lower scoring, that should benefit the double-digit underdog. |
|||||||
09-02-23 | Buffalo v. Wisconsin UNDER 54.5 | 17-38 | Loss | -110 | 99 h 27 m | Show | |
Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #182 Under in Buffalo Bulls @ Wisconsin Badgers (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 2 FS1) The Luke Fickell era gets underway on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, WI. The Badgers have a lot of excitement around them, but I am not sure they will be able to fix all of their offensive woes in one offseason. Wisconsin has gone under the posted total in 4 of their last 5 games. The Badger defense should overpower this Buffalo team and expect a combined score in the high forties. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend card featuring top plays in WNBA, CFL, KBO and football. Get in on the action now and let 52 years of handicapping experience work for you. |

09-01-23 | Stanford v. Hawaii UNDER 58.5 | 37-24 | Loss | -110 | 58 h 8 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #156 Under in Stanford Cardinal @ Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (11p.m., Friday, September 1 CBBSN) Stanford is set to open up the season at a high school stadium in Honolulu, HI. The Warriors backdoored their way to a cover against Vanderbilt last Saturday and now must travel across the mainland back to Hawaii for a Friday night home game. The point spread has come down, as people are starting to realize Stanford does not have much talent left on the roster. Feel that both teams will struggle to reach 30 points and thus this is a strong play with the under. We will not worry about won wins this game and just focus on the total. |
|||||||
09-01-23 | Yankees v. Astros -1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #924 Houston (-1.5 RL) +120 over New York (8:10pm., Friday, September 1 Amazon Prime) We have cleaned up with the Astros all this week and will not deviate for that winning formula on Friday. Houston is just a better team than New York, especially on the offense side. The Astros have a stacked line-up and they are throwing Justin Verlander tonight at home. He always gets up facing the Yankees. Expect a blowout and we will collect big. |
|||||||
09-01-23 | Wings v. Fever +5.5 | 110-100 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #648 Indiana +5.5 over Dallas (7p.m., Friday, September 1 ION) Both teams have some injury issues for this game, and I believe it will go right down to the wire. These teams met earlier in Indiana, and it was a one-point game. Dallas tends to play to their level of competition and tonight should be no different. The Wings are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a losing record. The Fever are 3-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 home games. The Fever have won 4 straight games and look for that to continue on Friday, as they keep their winning streak going. |
|||||||
08-30-23 | Astros -133 v. Red Sox | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 24 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #916 Houston over Boston (4:10p.m., Wednesday, August 30 ESPN+) The Astros are going for the sweep of the Red Sox on Wednesday and expect them to get it. We used them in the first two games of this series as underdogs and now will back them as a slight favorite. Framber Valdez got back on track in his last start against Detroit and expect him to follow that up with another strong performance on Wednesday. Boston is out of the wild card race, and I do not see them finishing the season strong or with an above .500 record. Houston has the better bats and is the hotter team at the moment. |
|||||||
08-29-23 | Astros +112 v. Red Sox | 6-2 | Win | 112 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #965 Houston over Boston (7:10p.m., Tuesday, August 29 MLB.tv) J.P. France got lit up against Boston last week, but sometimes the best thing is to get back on the mound against the same team. That will occur tonight and expect a much better outing from him on Tuesday. Much like last night, getting Houston at an underdog price is too good to pass up. |
|||||||
08-29-23 | Lynx +6.5 v. Mystics | 72-83 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #635 Minnesota over Washington (7p.m., Tuesday, August 29 NBA TV) Washington is starting to get some players back, but I am not yet ready to crown them as one of the top teams in the WNBA. They got up for playing Las Vegas last time out, but they are still inconsistent and I do not expect them to blow out Minnesota on Tuesday. Minnesota is 42-18 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 62 games against teams with a losing record. Washington is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against Western Conference teams. |
|||||||
08-28-23 | Astros +120 v. Red Sox | 13-5 | Win | 120 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #915 Houston over Boston (7:10p.m., Monday, August 28 MLB.tv) No bet with Houston has an underdog is a bad bet. They scored 17 runs yesterday and have payback on their minds after getting blown out by Boston last Thursday by a score of 17-1. Cristian Javier has pitched better of late and he has gotten a ton of run support this season. Chris Sale is not the same pitcher that he once was and a left hander at Fenway Park is always a dangerous proposition. |
|||||||
08-28-23 | Aces v. Liberty -1 | Top | 85-94 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #624 New York Liberty over Las Vegas Aces (7p.m., Monday, August 28 ESPN2) We will follow the line movement in this game and expect the Liberty to take care of business at home and move closer to earning the No. 1 seed in the 2023 WNBA Playoffs come September. Four of the Five losses the Aces have suffered have come on the road the Liberty have proven they can beat the Aces on the road already this season. They also have the best player in the game in Breanna Stewart and the Aces have struggled a little without Candance Parker coming off the bench. Las Vegas is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games. New York is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games. These are the dog days of August for the Aces and expect them to lose this game by close to double-digits. |
|||||||
08-27-23 | Wings v. Mercury +9 | 77-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #632 Phoenix over Dallas (6p.m., Sunday, August 27 NBA TV) This line may move depending on player availability, but whatever the line is it will be a small play on Phoenix. The Wings struggle to put away the bad teams in the league and tonight should be no different. Dallas is coming off back-to-back losses to Minnesota and I do not see them blowing out Phoenix in this game. |
|||||||
08-27-23 | Astros -1.5 v. Tigers | 17-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #965 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Detroit (1:40p.m., Sunday, August 27 MLB.tv) This is the rubber game of the series and I expect the Astros to win it behind Justin Verlander. He is coming off one of his best performances of the season throwing 5 shutout innings against the Red Sox last time out. Look for him to continue this dominance against a former team of his in Detroit. The Astros bats came alive yesterday and look for that to carryover against Alex Faedo on Sunday. He has had some moments but facing this lineup will be his undoing. Houston is 4-1 in their last 5 road games against Detroit. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Florida International v. Louisiana Tech -11 | 17-22 | Loss | -110 | 79 h 11 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #304 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs over FIU Golden Panthers (9p.m., Saturday, August 26 CBSSN) Generally the public does well with early season games in college football and we will follow the line movement and back the home favorite. The Golden Panthers got blown out in 4 of their 5 road games last year losing them by 29, 73, 38, and 34 points (they did beat NMSU). Sonny Cumbie is an offensive coach that should be able to pick apart this FIU team and light up the scoreboard. The Bulldogs have covered the spread in 5 straight home games. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Cubs -127 v. Pirates | 10-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #909 Chicago -130 over Pittsburgh (7:15p.m., Saturday, August 26 FOX) The Cubs got a well-pitched game last night, but their bats failed to show up and thus they suffered their first loss of 2023 to Pittsburgh. Things will get back to normal on Saturday, as the Cubs will win behind Javier Assad. He has a 1.25 WHIP and a nice 3.13 E.R.A. with over 72 innings pitched. His opponent is just starting his career in the big leagues and has been hit hard with the early sample size. The Cubs need to beat up on the bad teams and cannot let Milwaukee get any farther ahead in the standings. Chicago is 8-1 straight-up in their last 9 games against Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Aces v. Mystics OVER 168.5 | 62-78 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take Over 168.5 in Las Vegas @ Washington (7p.m., Saturday, August 26 NBA TV) Anytime you can get a total in the 160s with Las Vegas you must consider playing the over. Washington has gone over the posted total in 4 straight games against Western Conference teams. |
|||||||
08-25-23 | Calgary v. Toronto -9.5 | 31-39 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take 684 Toronto Argonauts -10 vs Calgary Stampeders (Friday, Aug. 25th, 7:30 p.m.) This line has opened at 8.5 and is now up to 10 in most places (9.5 in some)...and for good reason. Toronto's offense is the most prolific in the CFL this season, putting up 33.5 PPG while the defense allows 21.9 PPG. Calgary meanwhile is only scoring 21.7 PPG while giving up 25.5 PPG. The Args are 9-1 SU and ATS in their last 10 tilts and a perfect 5-0 SU and ATS at home. Take the home team and lay the points. |
|||||||
08-25-23 | Cubs -113 v. Pirates | 1-2 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #953 Chicago over Pittsburgh (7:05p.m., Friday, August 25 MLB.tv) The Cubs are just a better team than Pittsburgh is at the moment and getting them at this price is too good to pass up. Both pitchers have been hit at times this year, but the Pirates traded away much of their offensive firepower and that will be the difference in this game. The Cubs are 7-0 against the Pirates this season. |
|||||||
08-24-23 | Lynx +7.5 v. Wings | 90-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #617 Minnesota over Dallas (8p.m., Thursday, August 24 local) We have seen Dallas struggle all season long with these back to back games facing the same team. We faded them on Tuesday and they lost outright and feel that this game will go down to the wire as well. |
|||||||
08-24-23 | Red Sox v. Astros -122 | 17-1 | Loss | -122 | 3 h 9 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #906 Houston over Boston (2:10p.m., Thursday, August 24 MLBN) The Astros are just a better all-around team than the Red Sox are. The Red Sox won last night but look for Houston to right the ship on Thursday and win the series. Getting J.P. France at this price is too good to pass up, as he has been rock solid all season with a 2.75 E.R.A. to go along with a 9-4 record. He has thrown back-to-back quality starts and allowed just two home runs in his last 7 starts. Brayan Bello has been solid as well, but his metrics are just not as strong as France. Jose Abreu came back last night, and this Houston lineup is just strong from top to bottom. Boston has been struggling on defense and all these factors lead to a strong play with the home team. |
|||||||
08-23-23 | Mercury v. Sparks OVER 153 | 62-91 | Push | 0 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #609 Over in Phoenix Mercury over Los Angeles Sparks (10p.m., Wednesday, August 23 CBSSB) The line has come down all morning due to the Mercury having players likely out. I actually like this play more and feel an up-tempo game will develop with a bunch of slow big players out of this game. The Sparks have gone over tonight’s posted number in 4 of their last 5 games. Both teams need to be better on offense and that should allow for more transition in this game. |
|||||||
08-23-23 | Red Sox v. Astros -105 | 7-5 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #966 Houston over Boston (8:10p.m., Wednesday, August 23 MLB.tv) If the Red Sox cannot win this game, they are not winning anything against Houston. I do not believe they will win this game despite Chris Sale on the mound. Their defense has been terrible of late and look for that to cost them against on Wednesday. |
|||||||
08-22-23 | Wings v. Lynx +6.5 | 86-91 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #608 Minnesota over Dallas (8p.m., Tuesday, August 22 local) Minnesota got embarrassed the last time these two teams met, and pride will set in for them in this game. Dallas is just finishing up a successful road trip and feel they might suffer a letdown in this game. The Lynx have Napheesa Collier, and she should be able to keep this game within single digits. |
|||||||
08-21-23 | Rangers v. Diamondbacks +1.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #970 Arizona (+1.5 RL) over Texas (9:40p.m., Monday, August 21 MLB.tv) Texas has come back to down to earth a little, getting swept by the Brewers at home over the weekend. Now they face a team desperate for wins and I feel this game will go right down to the wire. I am not as high on Jordan Montgomery has some are, as I saw him getting pounded by the Cubs last month, dropping both games against them. Arizona had yesterday off and now have all their ducks in a row for this series. Slade Cecconi has kept the ball inside the park thus far and if he does that again on Monday this one should be a one run game either way. Arizona will have their moments against Jordan Montgomery, they just need to cash some of them in. |
|||||||
08-20-23 | Saints v. Chargers OVER 37.5 | Top | 22-17 | Win | 100 | 102 h 43 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #429 Over in New Orleans Saints @ Los Angeles Chargers (7:05p.m., Sunday, August 20 NFLN) Both teams put up a ton of points in Week 1 of NFLX action. The Saints posted 26 points against the Chiefs and the Chargers put up 34 points against the Rams. In that game at SoFi Stadium Easton Stick put up big numbers completing a lot of short passes. That is the recipe for success in preseason against backups. The Saints threw the football 38 times last week and all 3 of their quarterbacks played well combing for 3 touchdown passes. The last 6 times these teams have met, the over has hit in all of those games. We will not worry about who wins this game and just collect with the over. |
|||||||
08-20-23 | Wings v. Mystics +5.5 | 97-84 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #660 Washington +5.5 over Dallas (3p.m., Sunday, August 20 NBA TV) Dallas had a knack for playing up or down to their competition and today they are facing a team with EDD. She could only manage a couple minutes from her long injury and is out against today. Washington still has most of their team and I feel that they can take it down to the wire. The Mystics are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Wings are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games when playing on just 1 day’s rest. |
|||||||
08-20-23 | Mariners v. Astros -171 | 7-6 | Loss | -171 | 2 h 43 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #912 Houston -180 over Seattle (1p.m., Sunday, August 20 Peacock) We are pot committed on Houston in this series and do not feel that they will get swept by the Mariners at home. Houston has a big edge in pitching in this game with Hunter Brown and a stacked offense that will break out of this slump in a major way. It is important for Houston to get a lead early, then they should be able to use their top bullpen guys and win this game by 3 or 4 runs. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Mariners v. Astros -145 | 10-3 | Loss | -145 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #966 Houston over Seattle (7:10p.m., Saturday, August 19 MLBN) Houston seems to always bounce back after loses and tonight should be no different. Both pitchers are solid, but the difference will be the offense of the Astros and the Mainers bullpen. |
|||||||
08-18-23 | Winnipeg v. Calgary OVER 46 | 19-18 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take 673 OVER 47 in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Calgary Stampeders (Friday, Aug. 18th, 9 P.M.) True to their name, the Blue Bombers have the league's best aerial attack at 283.7 and a total offense output of 403.2 YPG. This equates to 30.9 PPG. 2 weeks ago, they hung 50 on the best defense in the league. They also average giving up 3 TDs a game, which is just slightly less than the 22.1 PPG Calgary averages. Winnipeg has gone OVER the total in 5 out of the last 6 games, while the OVER is 4-2 in L/6 when the Blue Bombers visit Calgary. Take the over. |
|||||||
08-18-23 | Mariners v. Astros -1.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #916 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Seattle (8:10p.m., Friday, August 18 MLB.tv) The Mariners struggled against the Royals, especially their bullpen. Now they face the best team in the American League and I see Houston winning this game with ease. The Astros have not forgotten that they lost 3 of 4 to Seattle the last time these two teams met. |
|||||||
08-18-23 | Sky v. Dream -2.5 | Top | 67-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
8 Unit Play. Take #652 Atlanta Dream -2.5 over Chicago Sky (7:30p.m., Friday, August 18 ion) The break could not have come at a better time for Atlanta. The Dream will enter this game having lost 5 of their last 6 and did not perform well on a west coast trip. That being said, they still have 3 all-stars and are playing a depleted Chicago team that has injuries and lost their coach earlier this season. The Sky have also dropped 3 in a row and are in danger of missing the playoffs. Defense is always an issues for Chicago, as they have allowed 83 or more points in their last 8 games. Atlanta has covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games against Chicago. The top end talent of Atlanta is just far superior to Chicago in this game and that is all you can ask for when you release a big play. |
|||||||
08-18-23 | Wings v. Sun -3.5 | 95-75 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #650 Connecticut Sun -3.5 over Dallas Wings (7p.m., Friday, August 18 ion) These two teams met over the weekend and the Sun hot homered by the refs. Dallas shot 27 free throws in that game and Dewanna Bonner looked terrible after missing most of the previous game. Both things will likely not happen tonight. |
|||||||
08-17-23 | Edmonton Elks v. Hamilton UNDER 45 | 24-10 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take 671 UNDER 44.5 in Edmonton Elks at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (Thursday, Aug. 17th, 7:30 p.m. CBSSN) This is a battle of the punchless offenses, as the Elks have the lowest-scoring unit (14.9 PPG) and the Ti-Cats the 3rd-lowest (20.0 PPG) The Elks low-scoring offense dates back to last season, as the UNDER is 7-3 in their L10. Their defenses are the worst in the league, so it's just a question of which side does better. Shaky defenses are easier to fix than broken offenses. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
08-16-23 | Mariners v. Royals OVER 9 | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #911 Over in Seattle @ Kansas City (8:10p.m., Wednesday, August 16 MLB.tv) The Mariners pitching has fallen apart in this series against the Royals and I expect them to combine for double-digits in scoring against on Wednesday. Do not expect much from James McArtur, as he is just an opener and a bad one at that. Luis Castillo has great stuff but has been hit hard at times this season and the Royals are swinging a hot bat of late. The over has hit 6 of the last 7 games between these two teams. |
|||||||
08-15-23 | Astros v. Marlins OVER 8.5 | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #966 Over 9 in Houston @ Miami (6:40p.m., Tuesday, August 15 MLB.tv) Just do not have any confidence in either of these pitchers. One of them will get bombed tonight and that will allow us to collect with the over. Cristian Javier is 8-2 on the season but has a 4.36 E.R.A. and have given up 18 home runs. He receives a ton of run support and that sets up a strong play with the over. Johnny Cueto has not been good of late and has not thrown a quality start in his last three appearances. |
|||||||
08-14-23 | Astros -1.5 v. Marlins | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #909 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Miami (6:40p.m., Monday, August 14 MLB>tv) The last time we used Framber Valdez he threw a no hitter for us. We expect another strong outing on Monday, and we will look to cash in on the run line. The Astros are sixth in the league in home runs averaging 1.3 per game. Look for a couple of them to go yard on Monday and win this game by 3 or 4 runs. |
|||||||
08-13-23 | Ottawa v. Toronto -10 | 31-44 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take 688 Toronto Argonauts -10 vs. Ottawa Redblacks (Sunday, August 13th, 7:00 p.m.) We can thank Calgary for making this just a 10-point spread last week when they handed the Argonauts their first loss of the season. Toronto is 13-2 SU in their L15 home games against the Redblacks. In their last 8 meetings, the Args are 6-2 ATS against Ottawa. The Redblacks have gone 3-6 ATS in their L9. Lay the favorite and take Toronto to cover. |
|||||||
08-13-23 | Angels v. Astros -133 | 2-1 | Loss | -133 | 2 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #964 Houston -135 over Los Angeles (2:10p.m., Sunday, August 13 MLB.tv) This line is low since the Angels have the edge in pitching, but these two teams are heading in opposite directions. Los Angeles should have traded away Ohtani at the deadline since they are not good enough to make the playoffs and will likely lose him at the end of the July for a comp pick. Houston has the much better all-around team and getting them at this price is too good to pass up. They will sweep the Angels on Sunday. |

2 Unit Play. Take #129 Los Angeles Chargers over Los Angles Rams (9p.m., Saturday, August 12 NFL Network JIP) Just do not believe Sean McVay should every be laying this many points in a preseason game. He is afraid to play his backups for fear of injury. This is a make or break year for Brandon Staley and getting off to a good start should be essential for the Chargers in 2023. It will start in the preseason and we will grab the points. |

08-12-23 | Sun +2.5 v. Wings | 81-91 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #633 Connecticut over Dallas (8p.m., Saturday, August 12 local) The metrics are finally catching up to the Wings. They have lost 3 straight home games and if your are physical with them they cannot overcome their 40% shooting from the field. DeWanna Bonner should be back for this game and the Sun already won in Dallas late last month. Getting points with a team that is 21-8 against a team that is 15-14 is too good to pass up. Dallas got pounded by Las Vegas last time out and I would expect a carryover effect into this game. The Sun are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in Dallas. The Wings are 1-4 in their last 5 home games. |

08-12-23 | Angels v. Astros -1.5 | 3-11 | Win | 115 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #916 Houston (-1.5 RL) +110 over Los Angeles (7:15p.m., Saturday August 12 FOX) These two teams are heading in opposite directions and look for the Astros to win the first two games of this series. Houston has the edge in pitching tonight behind J.P. France and he will be looking for his ninth victory on the season. |

08-12-23 | Calgary v. BC -6 | 9-37 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take 686 BC Lions -6.5 vs. Calgary Stampeders (Saturday, Aug. 12th 7:00 p.m.) A rematch of a Week 1 battle, won by BC 25-15. These 2 teams have headed in opposite directions since then, with BC's defense leading the league in scoring allowed and at the top for everything else. The first week should have been worse but 2 turnovers spared the Stampeders a thorough beatdown on their home field. That shouldn't happen again. Lay the favorite. |

08-11-23 | Sweden W v. Japan W OVER 2 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
10-Unit Play Women's World Cup Take Japan/Sweden OVER (3:30 a.m. EST, Friday August 11) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time) These defenses have been stingy, no doubt, as they have both given up only one goal total in four matches. But both of these offenses have been among the best in the tournament, and we don't see the defenses holding up this morning. Sweden especially is in a letdown spot here defensively. They played an almost superhuman match against the Americans and we just don't see them replicating that effort here against a much better offense. Even though they earned a clean sheet against USA, it was mainly the goalkeeper, as the Americans had 22 shots, 11 of which were on goal. We think they will be more aggressive offensively here as they played D a lot against USA. Before failing to score against USA, they had averaged three goals on offense in their previous three Group Stage matches. Japan has been even better as they have averaged more than three goals per match in this tournament. They faced Norway last time out. The Norwegians didn't allow a goal in the Group Stage, but Japan lit them up for three, while allowing their only goal so far. So, we think they will be able to put up multiple goals here on Sweden, who are probably not mentally past their big win over USA, the favorite to win the entire tournament. These teams don't play often, but they have averaged almost three goals per match in four lifetime meetings. We think this one sees three or more goals scored on Friday morning. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

08-10-23 | Dream -5.5 v. Storm | 67-68 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 30 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #623 Atlanta over Seattle (10p.m., Thursday, August 9 League Pass) The Storm lost a key player last game in Gabby Williams and missing that production will be too much for them to overcome against good teams for the rest of the season. Atlanta has three all-stars on their roster and pounded Seattle the last time that they played them. Seattle is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. |

08-09-23 | Astros +110 v. Orioles | 8-2 | Win | 110 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #967 Houston over Baltimore (7:05p.m., Wednesday, August 9 MLB.tv) The Astros had no business winning yesterday, yet found a way to win despite being down 3 runs in the ninth. Look for that to carryover into Wednesday with Cristian Javier on the mound. He receives a ton of run support this season and Houston has a strong lineup from top to bottom. |

08-08-23 | Lynx v. Sky OVER 164 | 88-79 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #617 Over in Minnesota @ Chicago (8p.m., Tuesday, August 8 local) The Sky dominated the Wings in two straight games over the weekend and we look for them to score a bunch of points in this game. The over has hit 7 of the last 10 meetings between these two teams in Chicago. The Sky have a bunch of trends pointing towards the over. Chicago has gone over the posted total 5 of their last 6 games and 8 of their last 9 games playing on one day’s rest. |

3 Unit Play. Take #905 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Pittsburgh (7:05p.m., Tuesday, August 8 MLB.tv) Just do not expect the Braves to drop two straight games to Pittsburgh. The Pirates have been a sinking ship after a hot start to open the 2023 season but it has been all down hill after that. They traded away a bunch of their players at the deadline. |

08-07-23 | Rockies v. Brewers OVER 8 | 1-12 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #961 Over in Colorado @ Milwaukee (8:10p.m., Monday, August 7 MLB.tv) Just not seeing a shutdown pitchers dual with these two starting pitchers on the mound. We hit the Rockies over on Friday easily and expect another easy cash on Monday with Peter Lambert and Freddy Peralta starting on the mound. The Rockies hurler gave up 4 runs in just over 4 innings of work last time out. His last two starts have gone over tonight’s posted number. |

08-06-23 | Ottawa v. Saskatchewan OVER 44 | 24-26 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take 678 OVER 44 Saskatchewan vs. Ottawa (Sunday, August 6th, 7 p.m.) While neither of these offenses is anything to write home about (the Redblacks average 21.7 PPG and the Roughriders average 19.7 PPG), their defenses are why this game will go over. Ottawa gave up 353 yards through the air to Hamilton but got 5 interceptions. That won't be the case against Saskatchewan. The over has cashed four out of the last five home games for the Roughriders and six out of the last eight home games versus Ottawa. Take the OVER. |

08-06-23 | Sky +8.5 v. Wings | 104-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #609 Chicago over Dallas (4p.m., Sunday, August 6 ESPN3) We have seen all season long in these back to back games that the team that wins game one has a great chance to win game 2 as well. Dallas cannot continue to blow out teams shooting around 40% from the field. We have a team that just dominated them and now I think they can keep this game in single digits as well. |

08-04-23 | Toronto v. Calgary OVER 51 | 7-20 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 8 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take 673 OVER 51 in Toronto Argonauts at Calgary Stampeders (Friday, August 4th 9:00 p.m.) The Args have the CFL's most prolific offenses, putting up 36.2 PPG and not scoring less than 31 points all season while their Calgary opponents have averaged 25.3 PPG themselves. What's worse, however, is that the Stampeders give up an average of 27.8 PPG. The OVER is 8-4 in Calgary's last 12 games at home. Expect a shootout and take the OVER. |

08-04-23 | Rockies v. Cardinals OVER 9.5 | Top | 9-4 | Win | 100 | 21 h 23 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #907 Over in Colorado @ St Louis (8:15p.m., Friday, August 4 MLB.tv) Adam Wainwright is back from the disabled list and has not been much better than he has been all season long. He continues to hang on in hopes of winning his 200th career game and he still has two more to get there. His opponent, Chris Flexen has been even worse this season in limited action with a 1.93 WHIP and an E.R.A. of 8.08. Basically, this play comes down to the fact that one of these starting pitchers in going to get bombed tonight. We will not worry about which team explodes, since the Cardinals are a big favorite in this game and just collect with the over. |

08-03-23 | Jets v. Browns +2 | 16-21 | Win | 100 | 3 h 8 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #102 Cleveland Browns +2 over New York Jets (8p.m., Thursday, August 3 NBC) We will go against the grain and grab the Browns with the points tonight in Canton, OH. Cleveland opened as a small favorite, but the line swung towards New York the last two days. Like the rotation of quarterbacks better for Cleveland in this game and feel Zach Wilson will not be up to task. With a total of only 33/34 points, getting the points with the underdog may come into play. The Browns have won 4 of their 6 preseason games in the last two years. |

08-02-23 | Wings v. Storm +6.5 | 76-65 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #656 Seattle over Dallas (10:30p.m., Wednesday, August 2 CBSSN) I am higher on Seattle than most people are and feel they are better than what their record shows. They also have the best player on the floor in Jewel Loyd and already won in Dallas this season. The Wings are coming off a loss against the Aces last time out and this will be their second straight road game. Seattle is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games and 9-3 ATS when playing on 2 days rest. |

08-02-23 | Rays v. Yankees -1.5 | 2-7 | Win | 184 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #916 New York (-1.5 RL) +175 over Tampa Bay (7:05p.m., Wednesday, August 2 Amazon Prime) The Yankees are desperate to win this game and avoid getting swept by the Rays at home. The have Gerrit Cole on the mound and he is 9-2 on the season with a 2.64 E.R.A. Shane McClanahan has not been as strong since coming back from a brief stint on the disabled list and look for him to give up 3 or 4 runs in this start. |
