DVD's Locks of the Day: August 26th
Yesterday: 6-1 (35-18 total)
This is getting out of hand at this point. I'm so hot right now I'm almost embarrassed by it. 6-1 last night with the Giants walking it off for a +175 winner. 35-18 in this business is absolutely preposterous, not to mention I haven't even been including plus money winners as additional units to my record. I give you the picks as I play them myself. Let's keep it going.
Bucks -14
Over the last week of NBA playoffs teams favored by four or more points are 15-1 straight up and 14-2 ATS. Those are INSANE numbers. I see stats like that and I feel like I have no choice but to ride the trend. The Magic may play hard and have some capable veterans like Vucevic and DJ Augustin, but their bags are packed and their flights are booked. This series is over and this game is over before it even started. Only question is whether the Bucks can pull it out by 15+. I think they do.
Thunder +3 (Important note: If the closing spread is Rockets -4 or higher I am officially flipping my pick to Rockets -4 or whatever the closing number is. 14-2 ATS for 4 or more point favorites is a hill I'm willing to die on)
The momentum has taken a massive turn for the Thunder in this series and I think they have what it takes to pull it off. The Thunder have so many weapons on offense that can shoot the three and score off the dribble and it has been too much for Houston's defense to handle. People zre quick to think of James Harden and back him here and that's fair, but OKC has the more complete roster so I'll take them with the 3 points here.
Yankees -1.5 +115 (Game 1)
Yankees +105 (Game 2)
Tigers +115
Cubs/Tigers OVER 10.5
White Sox -1.5 -110
Reds -120
Islanders +100
