At 8:00 pm,
our selection is on the Carolina Hurricanes over the Vegas Golden
Knights. If the first two games are any indication, this is going to be
one of the most exciting Stanley Cup Finals in quite some time. After
what could have been a huge deflating loss in Game 1 at home, the
Hurricanes came back on Thursday night to take Game 2 in overtime and
break the Golden Knight's seven-game playoff win streak. Now the series
shifts to the Vegas Strip where the crowd might be almost as loud as it
was in Raleigh. This is a familiar situation for the 'Canes as they
lost the first game of the Conference Finals at home and then had to win
Game 2 before heading to a very unfriendly Bell Centre and taking the
wind out of the Habs' sails with two victories which all but sealed
their trip to the Finals. They've done well at T-Mobile Arena recently,
taking two of the last three meetings here. The Knights' defense
suffered a blow in Game 2 when Brayden McNabb was hit in the face with a
puck and left the game. It's unknown whether he will be able to play
tonight. Take the 'Canes. As always, good luck...Al McMordie |

At
approximately 7:04 pm, on Saturday, our selection in the 158th running of the Belmont
Stakes, race #13 at Saratoga Race Course, is #4, Renegade to WIN. Usually,
when somebody says -- about a horse that finishes 2nd -- "he didn't win,
but he ran the best race", we look upon that person with a healthy
amount of skepticism. "Didn't the horse that won the race run the best
race?", we often say. We've been hearing that statement a lot when it
comes to the running of this year's Kentucky Derby, but in this case, it
is likely true. The Todd Pletcher-trained Renegade had drawn the
dreaded #1 post position and because there was so much speed to his
outside, he had no choice but to drop back and was bumped and slammed as
a result. By the time the field had reached the backstretch, Renegade
was all the way back in 16th place. Meanwhile, the winner, Golden Tempo
(who is also in this Belmont Stakes race), had a dream trip on the outside before
charging hard in the stretch as all the speed horses backed up. Despite
being slammed again in the stretch, Renegade battled Golden Tempo all
the way to the wire before losing by half-a-head. Pletcher has
given Renegade -- a son of leading sire Into Mischief -- five weeks off,
skipping the Preakness before coming back here to try to win the
Belmont Stakes for a fifth time, which would be a record for active
trainers. We've seen this Pletcher movie before, most recently with Mo
Donegal, who won this race in 2022 and coincidentally also had the #1 post
when he ran in the Derby. Renegade will have competition for sure,
including Derby runners Commandment, Chief Wallabee, and Emerging Market, in addition to Golden Tempo. Leading jockey Irad Ortiz is likely have
Renegade closer to the lead in this race as there is not nearly as much
speed in the field as there was in the Derby. And from there Ortiz
should be able to mow down any horses in front of him when they come
down the stretch. Renegade will likely go off as the favorite but you
might get his morning line odds of 2-1 given the company he is keeping
in this race and the fact that it will be run at 1 1/4 miles here at
Saratoga instead of the normal 1 1/2 miles. Play #4, Renegade, to WIN the Belmont Stakes. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Storm + the points over the Minnesota Lynx. The Storm have been installed as a double-digit road underdog this afternoon vs. the Lynx. We'll happily grab the points, as underdogs of more than 10 points off a SU loss have cashed 59.4% since 2006 vs. foes off a SU win. Even better: the Storm are a terrific 33-11 ATS as an underdog off a SU loss vs. a foe off a SU win. Take Seattle. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 6/5/2026 - WNBA | LOSER |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Sparks + the points over Dallas. The Sparks have dominated the Wings, going 9-3 SU and 8-4 ATS in the last 12 meetings. We'll grab the points with Los Angeles, as it falls into a 247-158-4 ATS system of mine. Additionally, the Wings are a dismal 8-30 ATS vs. foes being outscored by more than 2.25 ppg. And they're 7-22 ATS in competitively-priced games with point spreads of 3 or less. Take Los Angeles. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 6/5/2026 - Canadian Football | LOSER |
At 9 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Calgary Stampeders + the points over Winnipeg. The Stamps have been installed as a home underdog to kick off the season vs. the Blue Bombers. Calgary is a super 16-5 ATS when catching points at home, while Winnipeg is a woeful 21-30-1 ATS as a road favorite. The Stampeders won all three meetings against the Blue Bombers last year. And home dogs have cashed 67% since 2006 when they won the previous three meetings against their opponent. Grab the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 6/5/2026 - NBA | LOSER |
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over New York. The Spurs lost Game 1, 105-95, and now trail 1-game-to-none in this NBA Finals. That was San Antonio's 2nd straight loss to the Knicks, dating back to its 25-point loss on March 1. I look for the Spurs to bounce back in Game 2, as they're 50-24 ATS when playing with double-revenge vs. .580 (or better) foes. Additionally, San Antone is 116-78 ATS at home off an upset loss, including 8-0 ATS in 2026. And .666 (or better) teams have cashed 70% in the NBA Finals after dropping Game 1. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 6/4/2026 - WNBA | WINNER |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Valkyries + the points over Minnesota. These two teams met in the Playoffs last season, and the Lynx swept the series 2-0, including a 1-point win in Game 2, 75-74, which had to be played in San Jose since Golden State's San Francisco arena was already booked. We'll take Golden State tonight, as revenge-minded teams have cashed 57% when playing with revenge from a Playoff series defeat. Take the Valkyries. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie. |
| 6/4/2026 - NHL | WINNER |
At 8 pm,
our selection is on the Carolina Hurricanes over the Vegas Golden
Knights. On Tuesday night in Game 1, the
'Canes got off to an early 2-0 lead in front of a raucous home crowd and
everything seemed to be going to plan. That is until the Golden
Knights said "not so fast." Vegas scored three straight goals before
the end of the 2nd period and all of a sudden things were upside down.
The Knights went on to win the game, 5-4, on a late 3rd period goal and
now Carolina has its proverbial back against the wall heading into
tonight's Game 2. The good thing for them is that this happened to them
once before in these playoffs when the Canadiens came into Lenovo Center
and took Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Of course, the 'Canes
won the next four games to get to this point so there is no need to
panic in Raleigh. Carolina is 17-4, +11.9 units against the money line
in the last two months of games. Take the Hurricanes. As always, good
luck...Al McMordie. |
| 6/4/2026 - Canadian Football | LOSER |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats + the points over Montreal. Hamilton won both regular season meetings last year vs. the Alouettes, but lost at home in the Playoffs, 19-16. We'll take Hamilton to avenge that defeat as CFL teams have cashed 58% when playing with revenge from a Playoff loss, if they weren't favored by more than 2 points in the current game. Take the Tiger-Cats. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 6/4/2026 - MLB | LOSER |
At 2:10 pm,
our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the San Francisco
Giants. Originally drafted by the Angels in 2019 before going to the
Mets organization and then to the Brewers in 2023, Coleman Crow finally
made it to the Majors this season at the age of 25. And so far, so good
for the RHP as Crow has logged a 3.14 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in three starts
covering 14 1/3 innings with 11 hits allowed. The only thing missing
from the first-year rookie's ledger is his first victory and Crow will
try to check that off his list this afternoon at home against the
Giants. And in fact, this will be Crow's debut at his new home
ballpark, American Family Field in Milwaukee. This will also be Crow's
first daytime start as he pitched under the lights in Houston,
Minnesota, and Miami. Perhaps most important for today's game is the
fact that the Brewers have won each of Crow's previous three starts.
Milwaukee is 10-2 in 12 afternoon home games this season. Take the
Brewers. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
