The NBA Draft is tomorrow and Victor Wembanyama is the overwhelming favorite to go to San Antonio. There might be some trades that shake things up but you have to see this picture of Wembanyama, unreal!

We have MLB news that includes a terrible call the umpires actually got right but the suits overturned it! Penny Hardaway got suspended at Memphis and we have an old newspaper article about when Michael Jordan was drafted that will leave you shaking your head.


About Last Night…​



MLB​

The Cincinnati Reds have won 10 in a row to charge into first place in the very winnable NL Central. The influx of young talent has infused the franchise which is amazing after losing 100 games last season.


The San Francisco Giants have captured nine straight victories. This team is resembling the Bruce Bochy days of finding ways to win and they have moved within two games of first place Arizona in the NL West and are up +10.05 units in the process.

Texas was a -153 favorite at the White Sox last night. Not sure if the Rangers would have won the game but Texas was royally screwed by New York’s replay after the home plate umpire got it right. Here is the whole play.

Trendy Talk​



MLB – (Late afternoon or night games)​

  • Oakland is 5-27 vs. an AL team with an on-base percentage .330 or worse this season.
  • Boston is 11-2 scoring nine runs or more this season.
  • Washington is 1-12 in home games after a game where the bullpen allowed four or more earned runs the last two seasons.
  • A. Nola of the Phillies is 12-3 Over when the total is 8.5 to 10.
  • Y. Darvish of the Padres is 14-4 Under when the money line is -100 to -150.
  • Seattle is 10-1 Over away after two straight games where they had five or less hits.
  • L.A. Angels are 12-4 Under (+7.8 Units) as a home favorite of -125 to -175 this season.

WNBA​

  • Las Vegas is 11-2 Over after two straight games where they were called for 15 or less fouls.

CFL​

  • Winnipeg is 8-0 ATS off a road win over a division rival. (Thursday)
  • Montreal is 9-2 ATS in games where the line is +3 to -3 the last two seasons. (Friday)


What to Watch for and Win (Hopefully)​



MLB​

The Cincinnati Reds is the hottest thing in baseball with the Giants and Red Sox not far behind. Look to see if we are using these teams or others for free MLB picks.

The Buzz​



NBA – The Draft’s Top Pick​

  • Victor Wembanyama (-50000)
  • Scoot Henderson (+5000)
  • Brandon Miller (+15000)
  • Amen Thompson (+20000)
  • Anthony Black (+20000)

Top Betting System​



MLB – Mariners (-148 ML) at Yankees​

Play On Road favorites with a money line of -125 or more like Seattle, batting .190 or worse over their last five games, with a hot bullpen whose ERA is under 2.00 the last 10 games. Teams like the Mariners are a sweet 39-6 in this situation.
