Pick for May 7, 2021 (FRIDAY) Game will start on 08:10 PM EST, MLB Match: Houston Astros - Toronto Blue Jays [WIN!!!] - PICK: HOUSTON ASTROS ML for 2 UNITS (1.72 ODDS). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FkThWMAR.jpg&t=665&c=1OF1N7J69odyfg) This was supposed to be a home coming of sorts for Springer, however that will not be the case here today as he finds himself back on the DL. Has to be frustrating for the Jays given the term and money they committed to him. The Jays are banged up right now and are likely without their top reliever David Phelps for a while as well. The Jays come in off a series win vs the A's but I think they struggle here today. The Jays send Stripling to the mound today who has struggled this season. He comes in with a 6.39 ERA on the season and is making his 4th start. Opponents are batting .327 against him and on the road opponents are batting .412, along with a 8.10 ERA on the road. Righties are crushing him right now batting .465, along with a .718 slugging %, and a 1.183 OPS. I look for his struggles to continue as they face a Astros team that comes off avoiding a sweep of the Yankees and defeating Gerrit Cole. Baker was quoted saying he is looking forward to getting home and getting on a nice run. The Astros send Urquidy to the mound today who comes off his best start of the season. He has faced some elite competition so far in his starts beating the Rays last time out and has faced the A's twice this year as well. In 6 starts this year he has only 8 walks and opponents are batting just .240 against him. Astros rank tied for #3 in batting average in the league hitting .254. I look for their offense to thrive vs Stripling and taking the first game of the series. Blue Jays are 5-12 in their last 17 games as a road underdog. Astros are 7-1 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning record. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 7, 2021 (FRIDAY) Game will start on 09:00 PM EST, NBA Match: Denver Nuggets - Utah Jazz [LOSS] - PICK: DENVER NUGGETS +4.5 POINTS for 2 UNITS (1.91 ODDS). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FG09bgRV.jpg&t=665&c=jfuMx-s5tGCLQg) Both teams come in without their stars and battling injuries. The only difference is how both teams have played since the injuries. I like how this Nuggets team has come together since Murray went down winning 10 of 12. This is a Nuggets team that comes off beating the red hot Knicks, not to mention beating the Clippers, Raptors, Portland, and Grizzlies in their last 10 games. These two teams faced each other at the beginning of the season splitting both games. Both teams come in with motivation for seeding in the standings as the Nuggets are just a half game behind the Clippers and the Jazz are fighting the Suns to keep to keep top spot. So I think this will be a tight close game with a playoff feel to it. The Jazz have not been the same team since their big run in the first half. This is a team that lost to the T-Wolves back to back, lost to the Raptors and Suns, and seem to struggle vs elite teams. I will gladly back Jokic and the Nuggets here as a road dog as they are simply playing great team basketball despite the injuries. With over 70% of the public on the Jazz this makes for a great public fade as well. Put it all together and we like the Nuggets to hang tough here today. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Jazz are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 8, 2021 (SATURDAY) Game will start on 12:30 PM EST, EPL Match: Chelsea - Manchester City [WIN!!!] - PICK: CHELSEA +0.5 GOAL for 2 UNITS (1.94 ODDS). As per this selection, this match is simply a dress rehearsal for the Champions League Final game, which is set to be played on May 29th in Istanbul. We think the Blues will want to show the Citizens they are ready for them and not afraid of the challenge that lies ahead in late March. Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel has preached defensive intensity to his squad ever since he took over January 26th, and as a result they have allowed one or fewer goals in their last ten matches, with seven cleansheets, including a 1-0 win over this very Manchester City team in the English FA Cup. The Blues would really like to keep a top-four spot here, especially since Leicester is struggling lately. We think Chelsea puts one in net tomorrow in a low scoring match, and we will ride Chelsea to give Manchester City a tough go of it. Let’s roll with Chelsea +0.5. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 8, 2021 (SATURDAY) Game will start on 02:00 PM EST, MLB Match: Chicago Cubs - Pittsburgh Pirates [WIN!!!] - PICK: CHICAGO CUBS ML for 2 UNITS (1.52 ODDS). The Cubs can’t decide if they want to be any good or not. But right now they are healthy and they are hitting and I think that they are doing good things. They won the first game of this series to make it four in a row and they have a chance to get above .500 in this one. Trevor Williams is on the mound and he is a trash pile. However, he spent his first five years with the Pirates. He should be motivated to have a big outing against his old team. Especially because he’s matched up with one of the young losers that they replaced him with. Wil Crowe has made five starts in his career. He’s allowed 18 runs in 18 innings of work and he shouldn’t be pitching in the Majors right now. I think the Cubs are in a little groove. I think Williams will be at his best, such as it was, and I think the Cubs will find a way to win in this game. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 8, 2021 (SATURDAY) Game will start on 07:00 PM EST, NHL Match: Washington Capitals - Philadelphia Flyers [WIN!!!] - PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS ML for 2 UNITS (1.71 ODDS). The Capitals come off a rare loss at home losing to the Flyers yesterday so they get a chance at rapid revenge. The Capitals are still fighting for top spot in the division and now trail the Penguins by 2 points. Not to mention the surging Bruins are just 2 points now behind the Capitals for 2nd place and within 4 points of the division. The Flyers have not been able to string together back to back wins all season and I don't think it happens here today either. If the Capitals can win in regulation today and their last game vs Boston they can clinch the division and home ice advantage. I think they come out firing here today and grab a big win at home. Flyers are 0-6 in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest. Flyers are 8-20 in their last 28 games following a win. Capitals are 21-6 in their last 27 games as a favorite. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 8, 2021 (SATURDAY) Game will start on 10:00 PM EST, NBA Match: Portland Trail Blazers - San Antonio Spurs [WIN!!!] - PICK: PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS -5.5 POINTS for 2 UNITS (1.85 ODDS). The Blazers have won two in a row and are looking to make a play for the five seed in the playoffs. Portland only sits one game behind the Mavs for that spot and they took care of business against the Lebronless Lakers last night to pull one game ahead of the defending champs for sixth. This last week and change is going to be an absolute war to stay out of the play in game and the way things are looking it will be Portland or Dallas with the Lakers fading fast. Dame has been a monster all season, but this time of year brings out the best in him so look for the Blazers to get anther win in this one behind a classic Dame performance. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 10, 2021 (MONDAY) Game will start on 03:00 PM EST, EPL Match: Burnley - Fulham [WIN!!!] - PICK: BURNLEY ML for 2 UNITS (2.43 ODDS). Fulham is almost out of hope to escape relegation but I’m sure they’ll take every gamble and chance to win this match. At the same time, if Fulham was able to exercise a small miracle and win a couple of matches and escape the bottom three, the team they’d catch would be Burnley, so it’s not like Burnley doesn’t have something to play for also. I expect Fulham to take too many chances on the offensive end which should leave them open to odd-man attacks at the other end. Fulham is 1-6-1 in its last eight matches and have just three wins in its last 26. They’ve lost four in a row at home where they’ve won just one of their last 10. In fact, Fulham has been held scoreless in nine of its last 12 home matches. I’m backing Burnley on Monday. #BlackLivesMatter

Pirates are playing good ball and they were our 7 Unit Play, yesterday, but they don't match up well with the Reds. The Big Red Machine has a stacked offense this year and, though they haven't shown it as much lately, look for it to breakout against the weaker and injured Pirates. The Pirates first base slugger, Moran, is still injured with a groin injury from Saturday's game and Votto, for the Reds is out, as well, so those two even out, but the rest of the Pittsburgh lineup doesn't match up at all and the Reds should roll today, with Jeff Hoffman on the mound and against Mitch Keller's 6.29 ERA. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 10, 2021 (MONDAY) Game will start on 07:05 PM EST, MLB Match: Boston Red Sox - Baltimore Orioles [WIN!!!] - PICK: UNDER 9 RUNS for 2 UNITS (2.00 ODDS). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fv1f7tvQ.jpg&t=665&c=Gu1S3T5reatmbQ) This is going to take some guts to make this selection but I am going with the Under today. What you have here are two pitchers that really need to come through. We actually think the Reds will likely do well today as well so keep an eye on them. You have a Boston and Baltimore team that have gone under in 2 of 3 games thus far, and Perez rolls in having lost back to back games now so he has to come through for Bean town and of course the Boston fanbase who can be brutal. Perez gave up 6 hits in 5.2 innings in his last effort which is a bit high for him actually, as the last time he gave up 7 hits against the Whitesox, immediately in his next game he gave up 4 hits to Seattle. He has been a veteran a long time and understands that he has to come through here and he likely will. Plus, Jorge Lopez got hammered by these Redsox last time giving up 7 runs in 4 innings (8 hits and 1 walk), so that is 9 baserunners in 4 innings last time around back on April 11th. But, he has come around the last 2 games, giving up just 3 runs in 9 innings to Seattle and the Yankees. The last time he faced a similar situation like against the Yankees he gave up 4 runs in 4.2 innings, and immediately had a solid bounce-back holding them to 2 runs in 4 innings for a solid 4-3 win for Baltimore (that total by the way was at 9 as well) - and we think this contest ends in a similar fashion of 5-3 for one team or another, as we are not sure who can win as Baltimore has a solid chance of winning today which is why they are just a +120 dog, but we like the Under more importantly today. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 10, 2021 (MONDAY) Game will start on 10:00 PM EST, NBA Match: Portland Traiblazers - Houston Rockets [WIN!!!] - PICK: OVER 238 POINTS for 2 UNITS (1.88 ODDS). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FHcrksSN.jpg&t=665&c=TbsJfbh_pfVing) What you have here is a Houston team that is likely to be a fantastic underdog today. This is a Houston team that always gets up to face elite teams right? Think about it. This team beat Milwaukee at home outright, and when you are not going to the playoffs, is it not better to face playoff teams and bust their chances at playoffs or stay relevant against elite teams by just competing hard against them - and not caring about subpar teams. It is generally psychology to get up for the better teams and to not care as much for the mediocre teams. Houston for example, beat Portland by 3 in January, Portland has revenge, will want to drop a ton of points here and Houston also put up 116 at Utah and covered, they put up 133 against Milwaukee and covered, 116 against Denver and covered and the list goes on. I think Houston will be a fantastic underdog today and I like this game to go Over and I like Portland with the revenge as well to push the tempo as this game likely goes Over. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 11, 2021 (TUESDAY) Game will start on 03:15 PM EST, NBA Match: Crystal Palace - Southampton [LOSS] - PICK: CRYSTAL PALACE +0.5 GOAL for 2 UNITS (1.97 ODDS). Crystal Palace is safe from relegation. They travel to Southampton to take on the former Premier League leaders. Hard to believe Southampton led the EPL at one point this year considering their current form. The Saints are winless in their last five matches, and to top it off, Danny Ings will still be out tomorrow. Crystal Palace could be putting in McCarthy, Riedewald, Mateta, Dann and Ayew at this point, after securing top-flight status. In fact, rotation can probably be expected by both teams as both coaches look to avoid injuries. Palace beat the Saints earlier this season 1-0, and in a game that both teams honestly do not care about much, we can easily see a scoreless or tied game at the end of full time, therefore ww will take the half goal with Crystal Palace. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 11, 2021 (TUESDAY) Game will start on 07:00 PM EST, NHL Match: Boston Bruins - Washington Capitals [LOSS] - PICK: BOSTON BRUINS ML for 2 UNITS (2.50 ODDS). The seeding has already been determined and these two teams will meet up in round 1 of the playoffs. Neither team will want to show all their cards here today but the Bruins are in much better shape injury wise then the Capitals. The Capitals come in decimated with injuries right now and a lot of their key players. I think they come into this game just trying to keep everyone healthy for game 1 of the playoffs. The Bruins come in playing excellent hockey at the right time as they come in with a 12-3-1 record since the middle of April. They will want to carry those good vibes and confidence into the playoffs and finish the season on a positive note. Despite the injuries we are already seeing over 70% of the public on Washington which makes for a great public fade. We will take the healthier team who is playing better as of late. Take the Bruins on the road to get it done. Bruins are 12-4 in their last 16 overall. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 11, 2021 (TUESDAY) Game will start on 07:05 PM EST, MLB Match: Washington Nationals - Philadelphia Phillies [LOSS] - PICK: WASHINGTON NATIONALS ML for 2 UNITS (1.85 ODDS). I understand that Philly comes off back to back losses - but so do the Nationals. Anderson has given up 20 hits for the Phillies in 16 innings over 4 starts and though he did beat Milwaukee 5-4, it is hard to ignore the fact he might be getting a bit lucky. Remember, he gave up 9 walks in his last 3 starts as well so that is 24 baserunners in 13 innings. Fredde comes of his worst start of the year giving up 5 runs in 5 innings and the last time he did that was in his first start when he gave up 6 innings in less than 2 innings and then boom - he came back with back to back great starts of 1 run in a quality effort on both starts. Note, the Nationals would have won both games against the Yankees this weekend if not for their closer Hand who blew it late but he is a good pitcher and he will bounce-back here as he came over from the Indians for a reason and look for Washington to put it all together for a solid win here. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 11, 2021 (TUESDAY) Game will start on 07:10 PM EST, NBA Match: Minnesota Timberwolves - Detroit Pistons [WIN!!!] - PICK: MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES -7.5 POINTS for 2 UNITS (1.90 ODDS). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FRCR4g1D.jpg&t=665&c=TkVWQ6ix99lZsw) What we have here is a Minnesota team that is starting to gel and be healthy at the right time. Sure, this team is not going to the playoffs, but this game means a lot for this team as the coaching staff is trying to show, along with the GM that this roster can win and can win big if healthy. So, with Towns scoring 10 straight games of 21 points or more, Russell back healthy and dropping 27 points in his last game, Edwards competing for Rookie of the Year and will likely show out here, and what you have here is a conglomerate of things working in their favor for a big win. The Timberwolves just beat Orlando by 20+ points, they do care about this game and though the Pistons have a couple of young players such as Bey and Saban Lee playing hard with the possibility of Plumlee coming back, it is likely not going to be enough here. Look for Minnesota to continue to play hard from the onset for a likely double-digit winner today. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 13, 2021 (THURSDAY) Game will start on 03:00 PM EST, EPL Match: Manchester United - Liverpool [LOSS] - PICK: MANCHESTER UNITED +0.5 GOAL for 2 UNITS (1.58 ODDS). Manchester United have many attackers that can give Liverpool fits here. They have been in fantastic form offensively, particularly Cavani, who we think likely still starts here. Man U hasn’t been beaten in their last seven home games vs Liverpool. Liverpool has had many chances recently, however, have not been able to finish consistently. This will probably be a long, drawn out, defensive match which could very well end nil-nil or a draw. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was quoted as saying - Of course we know what Liverpool has done. That is a challenge for us to move up the table and challenge Many City as well. The title is technically still alive for the Red Devils, although they would need a miracle for it to happen. Still, I like Man U to hang tough here. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 13, 2021 (THURSDAY) Game will start on 02:00 PM EST, MLB Match: Chicago White Sox - Minnesota Twins [WIN!!!] - PICK: CHICAGO WHITE SOX ML for 2 UNITS (1.76 ODDS). The White Sox have dominated the first two games of this series, winning 9-3 and 13-8. I think that they will get the sweep here this afternoon. Chicago is going with Lance Lynn and he has a 1.52 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP. I think he will be good again in this spot. Chicago has won five straight and six of seven and they’ll keep this run going. The Twins have lost three straight and six of seven and they are just 12-22 on the season. Chicago has won three straight and five of six in this series and they are playing much better right now. The Twins are just 7-20 in their last 27 games overall and are 1-5 in their last six games in Chicago. The White Sox are 27-10 in their last 37 home games and they are 37-18 in their last 55 games as a home favorite. Take Chicago here. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 13, 2021 (THURSDAY) Game will start on 07:10 PM EST, MLB Match: Boston Red Sox - Oakland Athletics [WIN!!!] - PICK: BOSTON RED SOX ML for 2 UNITS (1.86 ODDS). Boston starter Garrett Richards is extremely talented with elite level velocity and spin rates throughout his career. Richards had to deal with some lengthy injuries in the past and though he was healthy last season he still wasn't 100% after missing nearly all of the 2019 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. He started off this season slow but Boston pitching coach Dave Lewis tightened up his delivery a few starts back and since then he's been great with a 2.84 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 22 strikeouts to go with just 2 walks in his last three starts. The veteran right-hander faces off here against an Oakland A's offense that has been bad this year against RHP ranking 28th in the league with just a .207 team batting average. On the other side of things the Oakland A's counter with starter Sean Manaea in this one. Manaea is a crafty left-hander who's been helped out by the fact he's a fly ball pitcher who's pitched half the games in his career in pitcher friendly Oakland Coliseum. That won't be the case here though pitching in Fenway Park and as a lefty as southpaws tend to get hit hard in this park (a top ten offensive park in EACH of the past 7 seasons). Making matters worse for Manaea is the fact he's going up against a very good Boston Red Sox offense that ranks in the top 4 in the league in team batting average, slugging percentage and OPS. Take Boston to win this game. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 13, 2021 (THURSDAY) Game will start on 08:10 PM EST, NBA Match: Chicago Bulls - Toronto Raptors [WIN!!!] - PICK: UNDER 218.5 POINTS for 2 UNITS (1.76 ODDS). Toronto has players out all over the place here and Chicago has been playing good defense their last 10 games, 3 out of their last 4 games held opponents to Under 100 points and they are 4th in overall defense in the NBA in those last 10 games if you break it out, which I have. The pace of play stat is a key one when capping totals, and these two play at some of the slowest paces in the NBA, 24th and 28th overall. Toronto will struggle to score; every star is out and they do not care. Chicago will do what they have to win, they are almost a 10-point fav at this point. Chicago can and will dictate pace here. I do not see Toronto scoring 100 point here. #BlackLivesMatter

Pick for May 14, 2021 (FRIDAY) Game will start on 07:10 PM EST, NBA Match: Washington Wizards - Cleveland Cavaliers [WIN!!!] - PICK: WASHINGTON WIZARDS -7.5 POINTS for 2 UNITS (1.76 ODDS). The Cavaliers snapped their 11 game losing streak last time out, beating the Celtics who had a horrible night shooting the rock. Boston was in a tough spot but Washington has yet to wrap-up a play-in spot and will look to get rid of the Cavs as soon as possible. Washington won the two 2021 matchups, covering tonight’s number in both and scoring 122 and 119 points making nearly 50% of their shots. The Cavs have been pretty bad on the defensive end up until the win over Boston. Washington forced 43 turnovers in the two games combined, while committing just 22, themselves. I expect more of the same tonight. I’m backing the Wizards on Friday. #BlackLivesMatter

Boston ended their three-game losing streak in rousing fashion, whipping Oakland 8-1. They should continue to hit against Griffin Canning, who has an ERA of 6.0 on the road in four starts and he’s backed by a truly terrible bullpen. Boston starter Nick Pivetta is having the best stretch of his career at 5-0 (Red Sox 6-1), with a sharp 3.19 ERA. The Angels have scored nine runs in their last four outings and average only 3.9 RPG on the road. With the Halos 22-57 vs. an AL starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.30 or lower, back Boston. #BlackLivesMatter
