MLB | May 19, 2024 Angels vs Rangers |
Angels +142 at Ace |
Won $142 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
My selection is on Los Angeles over Texas at 2:35 pm et on Sunday. The Rangers did pull out an extra innings victory to even this series at a game apiece last night but they're still not seeing the ball particularly well, ranking 25th in the majors in team OPS over the last seven days. They'll face Jose Soriano on Sunday - a starter their current hitters have had just five collective at-bats against, going 0-fer in those limited opportunities. After recording a 3.97 FIP in 42 big league innings last year, Soriano has logged a serviceable 4.05 FIP in 38 2/3 innings this season. Michael Lorenzen will counter for Texas. He owns a 5.12 FIP on the season. The Angels should be able to give him their best shot on Sunday, noting that they rank sixth in baseball in team OPS over the last seven days. The bullpens are virtually a wash in this matchup but again, it's the Rangers that are being priced as considerable favorites here. Take Los Angeles (8*). |

MLB | May 19, 2024 A's vs Royals |
A's +157 at YouWager |
Lost $100.0 |

My selection is on Oakland over Kansas City at 2:10 pm et on Sunday. The A's have now lost seven straight games including the first two in this series against the Royals. I do like their chances of finally snapping their skid on Sunday as they send J.P. Sears to the hill against Brady Singer. Sears will be facing most of the Royals hitters for the first time in his career with only Adam Frazier and Hunter Renfroe having seen him before, going a combined 1-for-7 with a single. The left-hander has been serviceable for Oakland this season, sporting a respectable 1.14 WHIP even if his 4.78 FIP leaves a lot to be desired. He'll be facing a Royals offense that has been slumping, ranking 22nd in the majors in OPS over the last seven days. Of course, Oakland's offense has gone silent over the last week or so but the good news here is it will be up against Brady Singer. I say that's good news because current A's hitters have gone a combined 13-for-29 off of the right-hander with nine extra base hits (1.501 OPS). The bullpens are virtually a wash in this matchup, both on the season and over the last seven days. We'll take a flyer on the A's at a generous price on Sunday afternoon. Take Oakland (8*). |

NBA | May 19, 2024 Wolves vs Nuggets |
Wolves +5 -110 at YouWager |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Free | ||
Sunday NBA Free play. My selection is on Minnesota plus the points over Denver at 8 pm et on Sunday. I think the majority of bettors will come to the conclusion that there's little chance the Nuggets lose Game 7 on their home floor after getting embarrassed on the road in Game 6. My opinion is that Denver will have its hands full once again on Sunday and an outright win may be in jeopardy, let alone an ATS victory. Note that the Nuggets are just 6-12 ATS when coming off a road loss this season and 7-12 ATS when seeking revenge for a road defeat against an opponent. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves are 18-10 ATS as an underdog this season and 19-15 ATS when coming off a double-digit victory. For a team laying a handful of points, the Nuggets are playing with a rather small margin for error when you consider they've gotten off 80 or fewer field goal attempts in four of six games in this series so far, topping out at 86. Take Minnesota. |

NBA | May 19, 2024 Pacers vs Knicks |
Knicks -3½ -110 at Mirage |
Lost $110.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
My selection is on New York minus the points over Indiana at 3:30 pm et on Sunday. There are seeds of doubt being cast all over the place when it comes to the Knicks. After all, they were non-competitive most of the way in their Game 6 defeat in Indiana and now have even more injury concerns with Josh Hart questionable to play due to an abdominal injury. Regardless, I look for them to rise to the occasion in Game 7 on Sunday afternoon. Note that the Pacers are just 15-19 ATS when coming off a double-digit victory this season, as is the case here. New York on the other hand is 15-6 ATS when coming off a road defeat and 9-2 ATS when that road loss came by a double-digit margin. Additionally, the Knicks are 32-21 ATS over the last three seasons when seeking revenge for a double-digit road loss against an opponent. Take New York (8*). |

Sean’s also cashed big in NCAA Football, as he’s won each of the last 3 seasons, recording wins with 57% of his overall bets.

Although Sean took a circuitous route to become a professional handicapper, sports betting has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember. In fact, he still fondly recalls his first successful venture into sports betting – a winning three-game NFL ‘Pro-Line’ parlay (offered by the Canadian lottery) when he was just 12 years old. Sean — along with the rest of his 7th grade class — was hooked. His passion for sports is unmatched. The phrase “find something you love to do and you’ll never ‘work’ a day in your life” is Murph's mantra. Sean's love for numbers, combined with his passion for sports, makes a career in sports handicapping the perfect fit.

When you purchase one of Sean’s selections, you can always count on insightful and expert information to back it up. Sean rates all of his plays from 8* to 10* with free plays qualifying as 8* releases, and the majority of his selections warranting a 10* designation. As you would expect, the higher the rating, the stronger the play. |
