DOC’S SPORTS NHL is up more than +7,700 on the season and on a top play run of 26-14. They have one of their strongest predictions of the season going on Thursday, and this will be an 8-Unit NHL Game of the Year. Doc’s scored an 8-Unit NHL winner earlier in the season and they look to make it 2-0 on their biggest plays. They are on a run of nearly +15,000 stretching back to last season and they not only plan to crush it with their 8-Unit GOY on Thursday but they are expecting an epic stretch run and postseason!

 

ROBERT FERRINGO just continues to cash top tickets, hitting another 7-Unit Soccer Play on Tuesday (Portugal-USA ‘under’). Robert is now 26-13 (67%), +6,040 with his last 39 plays rated 5.0+ across all sports. He has rung up nearly +20,000 with these top picks since last June and is up +69,910 longer term. Robert will have several more top tickets this weekend, including a 7-Unit MLB Play and a 7-Unit NHL Play. Robert took home over +1,700 over the first four days of the MLB season and nailed both of his top picks (5-Unit and 7-Unit) last weekend. He is working on making it four consecutive winning NHL seasons and has rung up 9 of 11 winning NBA years. He dominates the postseason in both sports and now is the time to sign up. Robert has also chalked up five of eight winning MLB seasons and has gone on monster runs (between +6,400 and +14,800) on the diamond in four of the past five seasons. Robert is also hitting 63% with his last 30 plays rated 5.0+ across all sports, turning that into over +4,100, and you can jump on board today.

 

STRIKE POINT SPORTS is bearing down on a winning NBA season and will have another 7-Unit NBA Play this weekend. Strike Point Sports has earned 15 of 23 winning soccer days (+4,730) and they will have a 7-Unit Soccer Play this week as well. Strike Point Sports was outstanding on the diamond in 2024, racking up +6,400 for their clients. SPS also piled up +5,000 in the first three months of 2023 and notched +16,200 from 2015-2019, including +4,200 in 2019 and a +7,000 run in July of 2018. Big runs have been the norm for this group. Sign up below and put them to work for your bankroll today!

 

RAPHAEL ESPARZA is thrilled that the boys of summer are back and this weekend he is looking to dominate the diamond. Last year Esparza had a profit of +8,270 with his MLB picks and Saturday he sees a great pitching matchup to take advantage of. Esparza has been hot on the ice, cashing +4,715 since Jan. 5, and he sees value all week long in the NHL. Esparza will have a 6-Unit NHL Play Sunday. He will also have a 7-Unit NBA Play Friday and Esparza looks for more NBA winners this week. Saturday night Esparza will have a 7-Unit Basketball Daily Prop and has cashed four of his last six daily prop picks. Last Saturday Esparza fell short in the Octagon but he gets his redemption this Saturday night in Las Vegas. Finally, Saturday in horse racing Esparza will have selections in the Wood Memorial, Blue Grass Stakes, and the Santa Anita Derby. Sign up now!

College Basketball Prediction From Scott Rickenbach:

Take #643 Illinois State (+7) vs. Auburn (9:30 p.m., Thursday, April 2)

The Redbirds have surprised as they did not play well away from home in the regular season but they have been getting the job done in the NIT even in their games that were away from home. Now this is a neutral site location but this location in Indiana certainly favors the Redbirds as they are from neighboring Illinois. Auburn has been winning by smaller margins than anticipated and have only won by 6 points in each of the last two games. Illinois State really impressed with wins at Wake Forest and at Dayton. The Redbirds are well coached and this game is likely to go down to the wire. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

MLB Prediction From Robert Ferringo:

Take Detroit over St. Louis (1 p.m., Friday, April 3)

I am now 133-91 (60%) with my newsletter plays over the last 222 weeks. I will roll with the Tigers in their home opener. Detroit has always enjoyed a strong home field advantage. And after six games on the road I think they’re ready for some home cooking. It helps that Framber Valdez will be taking the ball. He was very good this spring in the WBC and looked sharp in his first start of the season, allowing one run in six innings against a very good Padres lineup. He will face Mike McGeevy for the Cards. McGreevy threw six no-hit innings against the Rays in his first start of the season. The guy was throwing around 90 miles per hour, though, and there is no way he’s going to shutout the Tigers in their own stadium. Detroit is 6-3 in its last nine games against St. Louis and I like them to strike first in this weekend series.

MLB Prediction From Strike Point Sports:

Take Cleveland over Chicago Cubs (4 p.m., Friday, March 3)

Cleveland is still underrated. They have dominated the A.L. Central over the past 10 years. People still don’t think they have enough to win it again in 2026. The Indians started the season with a very difficult schedule going up against last year’s World Series teams the Mariners and Dodgers on the road. Cleveland played tough in both series. Now they are home where they are always good.

The Cubs are overvalued. They lost their opening series to the Nationals and struggled with the Angels. Those are two of the worst teams in the league. Cleveland will want revenge after getting swept in Chicago last summer. The home team is 8-2 in this series and the home team has won six straight in this series. Take the home team.

Women’s NCAA Tournament Prediction From Raphael Esparza:

Take 'Over' 133.0 Texas vs. UCLA (9:30 p.m., Friday, April 3)

Here we go in Phoenix, Arizona for the last game of the Women's Final Four and I see offense all over the court. Texas is averaging 85ppg in the Women's NCAA Tournament and all 4 of their games have gone 'Over' this total posted for Friday night. The UCLA Bruins are averaging 83ppg in the Tournament and 3 out of their 4 games have gone 'Over' this total posted. If the Texas Longhorn ladies can't slow down Lauren Betts, I see UCLA scoring down low with ease and this game will a nail bitter. Texas star forward Madison Booker will need a big offensive game for them to move on to the championship game but the only thing that scares me is that Booker might be tired on the offensive side trying to stop Betts on the boards. No matter what happens in this game this total flies 'Over'. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

Soccer Prediction From Doc's Sports:

Take ‘Over’ 2.5 (-160) Guadalajara at Pumas UNAM (10 p.m., Sunday April 5)

Guadalajara Chivas have been one of the top defensive sides in Liga MX this season but they showed some cracks defensively last week at Monterrey, where they allowed two goals. It would be tough to keep up the defensive numbers they have earned this season, especially as we near the postseason and some teams are playing their best. One of those sides is Pumas UNAM, now fourth on the table and the third best side for goals scored league wide. They have now scored in 18 straight matches across all competitions, and they will be ready to compete here and make up some ground on No. 1 Chivas. Guadalajara leads the league in goals scored with 25 through 12 matches, so they are averaging more than two per match. Just looking at the odds, Guadalajara is a heavy favorite and very likely to win, but it’s hard to imagine Pumas getting shut out considering their long streak of matches where they scored. Chivas won 2-1 last time these sides met, in October in Mexico City. We think they can do even better at home and Pumas will not be a pushover here. Nice value on the over even when laying some juice. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.
