Toronto vs. Minnesota Over 8.5

The Over here has value to work with on Thursday.

The Minnesota offense got some big pieces this past offseason and it is paying off huge right now. They hold one of the best offenses in the MLB, averaging 5.21 runs per game.

They should have plenty of traffic on the bases Thursday as they take on RH Clay Buchholz. He will be making just his 2nd start of the season and has had mixed results against the Twins in his career.

On the flip side of things, Minnesota starter RH Michael Pineda has seen plenty of the Blue Jays throughout his career. Things haven't been well for him in this matchup, as he allowed 10 runs and 19 hits over the last 8.0 innings he's faced them.

Look for this one to have plenty of scoring chances both ways.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

Colorado -105

The Avalanche have value here at PK price on Wednesday night.

Colorado comes into this one after a dominant performance as they took care of the Flames in Game 3 6-2. This has been a much closer series than everyone anticipated, as the Avs are going right at the Flames with everything they have.

They look to take control now of the series on Wednesday, as they're beating Calgary at their own game. Colorado is using a lot of pace and action, pushing the tempo on them. Look for them to continue that here and really dictate the pace from the outset.

Colorado is a team that has really seen everyone gel together at the same time. Those kinds of teams are always so dangerous in the postseason.

Back Colorado.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NHL ML Play

Detroit +16

The Pistons had their doors blown off in Game 1 and will look to rebound here in Game 2 on Wednesday.

While things were absolutely horrific for Detroit, it's just one loss and this has the feelings of a game where they will come out with plenty of adjustments. Look for the Pistons to really focus on controlling the tempo here.

They simply cannot turn this into a track meet, as it will result in a similar feel like Game 1. If Detroit can slow things down and take Milwaukee out of their comfort zone, they have the chance to keep this one close.

Some trends to note. Pistons are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest.Pistons are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Detroit is not nearly as bad as they showcased in Game 1. Look for a bounce back to at least keep this in range.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Boston -7.5

The Celtics used a big 2nd half to erase a half time deficit in Game 1 and will look to get out to a much quicker start here against the Pacers.

The home side has value here, as Boston has seemed to turn things up a few notches with the playoffs arriving.

Boston was picked to do a lot of big things this season and struggled with their health and consistency in the regular season. However, this team has the talent to compete with the best of them and now has the momentum here against Indiana.

Look for Boston to put an emphasis on getting out quickly in this one, as Indiana's offense is not strong enough to keep up here.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 Conference Quarterfinals games.Celtics are 20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 Wednesday games.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland -127

We've backed the Tribe twice now here in Seattle and both times we've seen dominant performances from their starters.

Once again, they have value here with Carlos Carrasco on the hill.

The Indians RH signed an extension this past offseason as he has made it clear he wants to stay in Cleveland for the rest of his career. It's been a roller coster of a ride early for him here as he failed to make it out of the first inning last time out against the Royals.

Expect him to really bounce back here as the Indians starters tend to feed off one another's strengths.

Look for the Indians to get the offense rolling too, as they've been heating up with Cargo and Kipnis in the lineup.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play

Cleveland -113

We backed the Indians last night as slim underdogs and they have value once again here at basically a PK price.

Cleveland saw Trevor Bauer get the rotation back on track as he pitched a stellar 6.2 innings in a 6-4 series opening win. The offense got a nice boost with Kipnis back in the lineup, as they now are finally coming together. The last piece in Francisco Lindor also began his rehab assignment, as the Indians are seeing the pieces fit now after a tough beginning to the season.
Kipnis provides this lineup more depth and we saw that as Jose Ramirez hit his first homer of the season. With Kipnis and Cargo surrounding him, this is his chance to finally see some good pitches.

Some trends to not. Indians are 4-0 in Biebers last 4 road starts vs. a team with a winning record.Indians are 6-1 in Biebers last 7 starts with 4 days of rest.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB ML Play

Denver -6.5

The Nuggets have value laying the points here in Game 2.

We backed the Spurs in Game 1 as playoff experience figured to be a huge factor in the early going. San Antonio has been a regular for the 20+ years in the postseason, while Denver ended a 5 year drought.

With their feet wet even despite the Game 1 loss, now is the time for Denver to bounce back. The Nuggets were one of the best in the NBA at home and on the offensive side.

This team can hit you with so many weapons and with the nerves gone, this is a case where we should see Denver get back to their normal ways. Expect them to turn the tempo up and really get out in transition, giving them the edge.

With that in mind, don’t sleep on this Denver team. A win here can steal all that momentum back as they have the talent to beat anyone.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -9.5

The Raptors have value laying the points here in Game 2.

They were shell shocked in Game 1 as the Magic went right at them and eventually hit a game winning 3 with just 1 second to go to clinch a 1-0 lead.

Things are far from over here and Toronto will certainly come out firing here. The Raptors went ice cold on the offensive end a few times in Game 1, something that has been rare for them. This will be case where the Raptors really turn up the pressure on both ends of the floor. Look for them to pick the pace up as they play well when things are back and forth.

Some trends to note. Raptors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.Raptors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Tampa Bay -128

Tampa Bay finds themselves in a complete 180 situation from what was expected heading into this series.

After going up 3-0 in Game 1 during the first period, the Lightning have just been dominated for 5 straight periods. On the brink of elimination, they are set here to try and keep things alive.

Don't count this team out either. They dominated the regular season versus the Blue Jackets and they return Kucherov here from the one game suspension. Look for them to come out extremely aggressive, knowing they need to find way to flip the script here.

Some trends to note. Lightning are 48-16 in their last 64 overall.Lightning are 22-8 in their last 30 Tuesday games.

Back Tampa Bay.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play

Cleveland -104

The Indians had a weekend to forget in Kansas City, as they were swept away by the Royals.

Here, they head out west to take on Seattle and have value as slight underdogs.

Trevor Bauer gets the ball for the Tribe and he is exactly the guy you want on the mound right now. He has that mentality to play stopper and can really flip the script for this rare time the Indians starting rotation is struggling in.

Along with that, Cleveland received two huge boosts to their lineup. Carlos Gonzalez stepped into the 3 hole yesterday and now Jason Kipnis returns from his rehab stint. This will certainly help with the depth and take some pressure off the top of the lineup.

Look for Cleveland to bounce back here.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
