At 10:00 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the San Diego Padres. The Padres struck back when it mattered on Tuesday night, taking Game 3 of this NLDS at home and setting up a fourth game here as well. The Brewers may have lost, but there were some positive takeaways from last night's disappointment. Although they were beaten 4-3, the Brewers put up 11 hits on San Diego (vs. the Padres six) and only a botched double play in the sixth inning prevented the game from going into extra innings. Also, the Padres had to burn one of their best starters, Michael King, at the end of the game (King threw 40 pitches in the eighth and ninth innings). Starters have not been named for tonight's game as of this writing, but the Brewers will almost certainly hand the ball to lefthander Robert Gasser for a good portion of the game (whether or not he starts), while the Padres will do the same to Walker Buehler. Gasser started the season slow (2-4 with a 5.24 ERA after nine starts), but he got it together in the latter half and ended 2026 with a sub-4.00 ERA. Gasser posted a 1-0 record with a 1.67 ERA and 0.85 WHIP over five September starts. Take Milwaukee. As always, good luck...Al McMordie |

At 9:30 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Las Vegas Aces + the points over Golden State. We played on the Valkyries in Game 1, and got the $$$, but will switch gears and take the Aces as a road underdog tonight. Before Sunday's loss, the Aces had won 9 of their previous 10 games. And they had also won 6 straight meetings vs. the Valkyries. The Aces are 20-12-1 ATS their last 33 when playing with revenge, including 9-3-1 ATS off a SU loss. And WNBA teams that failed to cover the spread in their previous Playoff game by more than 6 points are 57-35-2 ATS if they weren't getting 3+ points in the current game. Take Las Vegas. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the New York Liberty + the points over Atlanta. The Dream won Game 1 of this series, 92-82, but lost leading scorer, Allisha Gray (19.0 ppg; 3.5 rpg), when she sustained a hand injury in the first half. We'll take the Liberty to bounce back in Game 2, as road teams have cashed 68.4% since 2006 in the first two rounds of the Playoffs following a playoff loss by 9+ points. Take New York. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the San Diego Padres. With Nick Pivetta going to the mound in Game 3, the Padres are favored to make this NLDS a 2-1 series. But not so fast as the Brewers send RHP Dustin May out for the start tonight. As a former member of the L.A. Dodgers, the 29-year-old has a lot of experience pitching against San Diego. In fact, in 16 games vs. the Padres (including 13 starts) May has a very nice 3.14 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with 75 strikeouts and only 57 hits allowed in 86 innings. And in 10 appearances here at Petco Park (seven starts), May is even better with a 3.02 ERA in just under 48 innings. May will likely pitch around 3 innings, as he did in his last three starts for the Brewers in the regular season. And if that's the case, the Brewers know that their excellent bullpen, which so far in the first two games of this postseason has not allowed a run in nine innings, should be up to the task the rest of the way. The Brewers have won three of the last four games that May has started for them. Take Milwaukee. As always, good luck...Al McMordie |

At 5:00 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Guardians over the Chicago White Sox. The 2026 season was full of surprises that's for sure. But what kind of odds could you have gotten back in the Spring on a wager that Gavin Williams would win the AL strikeout title? The 26-year-old righthander consistently averaged a strikeout per inning in his first three seasons, but this year that number shot up to 12.1 per game as Williams punched out 248 hitters to lead all AL pitchers. And he effectively doubled his K:BB ratio from around 2:1 to 4.07:1. Speaking of surprises, the White Sox are full of them. Not only did we not think they would be a playoff team, but most people figured they would not be up 1-game-to-none in the ALDS. But after dismissing Houston, 2-0, in the Wild Card Round, the ChiSox took the first game of his ALDS series in Cleveland, so that's where we stand. Williams and the Guardians will look to put the brakes on Chicago today in what is almost a must-win situation for the home team. The Guardians have won six of Williams' last seven starts going back to August 20. Take Cleveland. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

At 4:00 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the San Diego Padres. There's no question that the Brewers' pitching was a big part of their success in 2026. After all, their 3.51 team ERA was tops in the National League -- even better than the Dodgers. And while what Jacob Misiorowski did was perhaps not all that surprising, the emergence of another ace certainly was. Logan Henderson's numbers last season were eye-popping, but they were also from a very small sample size (five starts and only 25 1/3 innings). Perhaps most people didn't see him carrying that forward to a full season. But the 24-year-old righthander in fact did continue his dominance in 2026 -- although his full season turned out to be 18 starts due to a back injury. But Henderson dominated when healthy, posting an 11-3 record and 2.47 ERA with a 0.84 WHIP in 98 1/3 innings. If you think his overall stats were good, check out what Henderson did at home this season: 6-0 with 1.84 ERA and 0.77 WHIP in eight starts covering 44 innings. Take the Brewers. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

At 4 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Golden State Valkyries over the Las Vegas Aces. Golden State fought back from a 16-point deficit to oust the Dallas Wings on Friday night. They'll host the Aces for Game 1 of this semi-final series, and will look to get their first win in four games vs. the Aces this season. We'll take Golden State, as home teams, playing with triple revenge, have cashed 63.6% since 2014 when not getting 7+ points. The Valkyries are 28-14-3 ATS at home their last 45. And Las Vegas is 11-26-2 ATS off a Playoff win, when priced from +9 to -9. Take the Valkyries. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

Our 3 selections include the Tennessee Titans, Los Angeles Chargers and the OVER in the Bears/Jets game.<br><br>At 1 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee Titans + the point over Baltimore. The Ravens defeated Dallas last week, 34-31. And that was the 3rd straight game where the Ravens gave up 23+ points. For the season, Baltimore's defense is allowing 26 ppg. I'm not a big fan of laying a lot of points with teams that give up more than 24 ppg, as they're a poor 76-115-4 ATS as favorites of -9 (or more) points. Take Tennessee + the points.<br><br>At 1 pm, our selection is on the OVER in the Chicago Bears/New York Jets game. The Bears opened the season with a bang, as they blew out Carolina, 59-37. Their next two games were much lower-scoring, as they lost to the Minnesota Vikings, 9-3, in the rain, and then they defeated the Eagles last Monday, 27-7. We'll look for a higher-scoring game on Sunday, as NFL teams have gone 197-148 OVER the total after not giving up more than 20 points across their previous two games. Take the Bears/Jets OVER.<br><br>At 4:25 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Chargers + the points over Seattle. The Chargers have started the season 0-3 SU/ATS after reaching the Playoffs last season. We'll grab the points with Jim Harbaugh's men on Sunday afternoon, as winless teams, with an 0-2 (or worse) record, that made the Playoffs the previous season, have gone 71-41-2 ATS as underdogs. Additionally, defending Super Bowl Champs have covered just 43 of their last 109 when priced from -6.5 to -13 points, including 11-24 ATS in the first 6 games of the season. Take the Chargers + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 1 pm, our selection is on the New York Jets + the points over the Chicago Bears. Last Monday, we played on Chicago as a home dog vs. Philadelphia, and got the $$$ when Case Keenum led the Bears to a 27-7 win. Unfortunately for Chicago, .363 (or better) teams with a winning ATS record, and priced from +2 to -5.5 points, are an ugly 0-22 ATS off an upset win at home by more than 10 points. Additionally, Chicago falls into a negative 84-152-4 ATS system of mine which fades certain teams off a good defensive game. Grab the points with the Jets. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 1 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the New England Patriots + the points over the Buffalo Bills. Last season, the Patriots reached the Super Bowl, but they've stumbled to a 1-2 start this season. Of course, their two losses were to last season's Champs -- the Seahawks -- and the Jacksonville Jaguars (who are 10-1 SU/ATS their last 11 regular season games). I look for New England to bounce back off its 35-6 blowout loss last week, as losing teams have cashed 63% the past 47 seasons on the road vs. winning foes, if our losing team was getting 4+ points, and off a loss by more than 28 points. The Patriots are 5-1 ATS vs. the Bills in the last six meetings, and did not lose any of those games by more than 6 points. Indeed, the only two games of their last 25 that resulted in a loss by more than 7 points were last week's game, and the 29-13 Super Bowl defeat to Seattle. Finally, the Bills are a soft 14-23 ATS when laying 6+ points, including 7-18 ATS off a SU win, and 4-11 ATS in division games. Take New England + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
