Your best source for winning sports picks including expert NBA picks, college basketball picks, NHL hockey picks and predictions is now available.A Note From Doc ![]() Our company opened for business back in 1971. We were only one of a small number of sports handicapping services in existence at that time, and most of those have now fallen by the wayside. When you have been in the sports handicapping industry for more than 40 years, you definitely see some major changes.
![]() Was it really any surprise that the Boston Celtics didn’t put their throats on the necks of the Philadelphia 76ers during Game 6 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series in Philly on Wednesday night? After all, Boston had been 2-10 since the arrival of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in road potential close-out games in the postseason. It’s almost like this team doesn’t have a killer instinct until it’s 100 percent necessary.
![]() I don’t know about you, but when Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose went down with that torn ACL late in Game 1 of Chicago’s first-round playoff series with Philadelphia, I immediately skipped ahead mentally toward the conference finals in terms of series I most wanted to see since Miami-Chicago was all but out: Oklahoma City vs. San Antonio. And with all due respect to the Heat, who have reclaimed the NBA title favorite role at 8/5 on Bovada, the Spurs and Thunder sure look like the two best teams going right now.
![]() I would struggle to come up with anything more surprising in baseball this year than the start the Baltimore Orioles are off to after more than a quarter of the season has passed. This is more surprising than the struggles of Albert Pujols, the hot start by the Dodgers, or the weakness of the Red Sox or Phillies.
![]() The Spurs have been as good as a team can be in these playoffs. They have eight wins, they have rarely even been threatened, and they don’t look like they have even tapped what they are capable of yet. They face a very good team in Oklahoma City in the Western Final, and Miami looms in the finals, but it’s not hard to imagine this team adding their fifth franchise championship. In fact, Bovada has them at 17/10 to win it all — just a hair behind favored Miami at 8/5. I expect the Spurs to win it all. Why? Here are five good reasons:
![]() The Western Conference Finals are set and one participant in the East is ready to go. All that is left to decide is the winner of the Philadelphia and Boston series. That one is all tied up at three a piece heading into Saturday’s Game 7.
![]() If you don’t like heavyweights then you aren’t going to be a fan of Saturday night’s UFC card from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Not only is the main event a Junior Dos Santos title defense against Frank Mir, but all five fights on the main card feature the biggest of fighters.
![]() IndyCar racing is just a shadow of what it once was. The Indy 500 is still a magical race, though, so even people who don’t care about the sport most of the year will be interested in who drinks the milk on Sunday afternoon.
![]() For a while now you only barely had to pay attention to the league from year to year to essentially know what is going on. The same teams were strong, and the same players generally elevated their play when the playoffs started. This year, though, we are seeing clear signs that there is a change afoot.
![]() Even though they reside in one of the loudest echo chambers in baseball – an American League East populated by big market behemoths New York and Boston – the only thing more impressive about Baltimore’s daring vault to the best record in the American League has been their ability to stay under the national radar while doing it.
![]() Last week Cantor Gaming released NFL odds and spreads on every game from Week 1 to Week 16 for the upcoming 2012 NFL season. They were followed by Pinnacle and Olympic sportsbooks releasing their NFL spreads for Week 1, giving overeager football betting fans a reason to get some action in before Memorial Day.
![]() Baseball handicappers don’t have to be told how important starting pitching is to their wager. There are some pitchers who are dominant nearly every time out. There are also some pitchers who seem to get shelled nearly every outing. Today, I wanted to take a look at the pitchers who are burning bankrolls the most so far in 2012. You’ll likely be surprised at some of the guys on this list.
![]() In baseball a .400 batting average is an almost mythical accomplishment. A .400 win percentage, though, is far less impressive. In fact, in my mind it marks the boundary between a team with troubles and a team that is just plain bad. If a team has played a quarter of a season or more and is below .400 then they probably have some pretty significant issues. NBA Playoffs Odds and Pick: Heat at Pacers Game 6 Predictions ![]() Remind me not to bet against the favorites in these NBA Playoffs any longer. Not including Wednesday night’s Game 6 between the Celtics and 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the favorites are 7-1-1 ATS and have won all nine games straight up since last Friday (Pacers over Celtics in Game 4 and Lakers over Thunder in Game 3 out West started the run). The only ATS loss came on Sunday when the Spurs beat the Clippers by three points to finish off a sweep. That was only San Antonio’s second ATS loss during its incredible 18-game winning streak. 2012 Belmont Stakes Handicapping: Lessons from Past Triple Crown Tries ![]() Affirmed won the Triple Crown in 1978. No horse has done the same since, though 11 horses before this year have gone to the Belmont with their chance at glory. As we sit anxiously awaiting I’ll Have Another’s shot at breaking the long Triple Crown drought, it seems like a good idea to look back at what has happened in those past unsuccessful attempts to see what we can learn about what to expect this year: Home Plate Umpires Role in MLB Handicapping ![]() A team’s current form as well as its starting pitcher in any particular matchup are two major factors to take into consideration when doing your MLB handicapping, but a third and sometimes overlooked factor is which umpire is slated to be behind home plate calling balls and strikes.
