MLB | May 06, 2024 Tigers vs Guardians |

| At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Tigers over the Cleveland Guardians. In 2019, a 23-year-old Jack Flaherty looked like he might become one of the best starters in baseball when the RH won 11 games with a 2.75 ERA, striking out 231 batters in 196 1/3 IP for the Cardinals. He finished fourth in the NL Cy Young voting that season but nobody knew at that time that it might be the pinnacle of his MLB career. Multiple injuries ensued in the coming seasons and Flaherty was finally traded to the Orioles last July, but failed to re-capture that form from four seasons earlier. Now with Detroit, Flaherty is up to his old tricks -- seemingly out of nowhere. The ERA is a bit high at 4.00, but the now 28-year-old has his strikeouts back as he leads the AL with 50 of them through six starts (36 innings). His last start was a bad beat as Flaherty threw 6 2/3 two-hit innings with 14 Ks and one walk, but his new team still lost to his old team (St. Louis), 2-1. A similar effort should get it done tonight as Detroit is 6-2 in its last eight meetings with Cleveland. Take the Tigers. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. | ||

At 10 pm, on Monday, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over Minnesota. The T-Wolves handed the Nuggets a 106-99 home loss to open the series, so Denver will look to level the series at 1-game apiece with a win tonight. The Nuggets don't lose back to back home games very often, and are an awesome 131-70-5 ATS at home, when rested, and priced from +2.5 to -11, if they lost their previous home game, straight-up. That bodes well for Denver on Monday. As does the fact that teams down 1-game-to-0 in a Playoff series vs. a division rival, have gone 12-1-2 ATS in Game 2, if they weren't favored by 7+ points. Finally, Minnesota comes into Monday's game off 3 straight upset wins. Unfortunately, NBA teams have covered just 38% in the Playoffs the past 34 years following three straight upset victories. Take Denver. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 7:30 pm, on Monday, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over Indiana. When these teams last met, Indiana came into Madison Square Garden and blew out the Knicks, 125-111. But OG Anunoby, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Mitchell Robinson, were injured in that game. We'll take New York in this Game 1, as it is 15-1 its last 16 as a revenge-minded favorite of less than 10 points. And Indy is 2-20 ATS following a point spread win, if it was matched up against a foe it defeated by more than 5 points in the prior meeting. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
