DOC’S SPORTS SOCCER is on a fantastic run of +6,155 since April 11! They are on a 7-1 run for 7-Unit predictions, and they will have a 7-Unit prediction this week from their Specialty League, Liga MX, on either the first or second leg of the Championship Series.

Robert is 24-15, +5,980 across all sports on plays rated 5.0+ and since February he is 58-35, +11,620 with these big game picks. Robert has brought home over +20,000 for his clients with these big plays dating back to last June and he will have a 7-Unit WNBA Play and 7-Unit Daily Prop Play both set for Friday. He is going to follow that up with a 7-Unit Soccer Play on Saturday in the MLS. Robert is putting the wraps on his fourth straight winning NHL season and is looking to continue his late season surge in the NBA. He has shown a profit in soccer, MLB, and daily props as well and is looking to build on his fantastic long-term numbers this weekend. Get on The Victory Train today!

VERNON CROY is on a 25-13, +6,760 MLB run and a 25-14, +4,060 NHL run. Croy has also had five straight winning WNBA seasons totaling +17,010 since May 18, 2021. Croy is also an outstanding 42-30, +7,040 with his top plays rated 6-Units or higher across all sports. Sign-up now!

STRIKE POINT SPORTS hit another easy 7-Unit win Tuesday in soccer (Atlanta-Orlando 'over') and just continues to churn out reliable winners, particular with their top plays. SPS has hit six of seven 8-Unit GOTY winners and is 27-14 (67%), +10,520 on their last 41 8-Unit Plays across all sports and they will be on the look for their next big situation. SPS has been on profitable runs in NHL and NBA as well and they are looking to wrap up winning seasons in both. 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!

NICK MENKEN is putting together one of the most dominant UFC stretches of the year right now, and the sportsbooks simply have not been able to keep up. Over the last two months, Menken has piled up an incredible +4,315 in UFC profit, continuing to cash ticket after ticket. That run was highlighted again last weekend with another huge 7-Unit UFC winner on Doo Ho Choi. The numbers are becoming impossible to ignore. Menken has now cashed seven of his last eight UFC top plays (+5,015) and he continues to deliver at an elite level. He is 7-3, +2,945 with his plays rated 7.0+ this season (Click Here). What makes this run even more dangerous is the timing. Menken is heating up just as the UFC schedule begins to ramp into the summer spotlight, with massive cards and marquee main events right around the corner: including the highly anticipated White House card later this summer. Don’t wait: get on it now!

GRIFFIN MURPHY is on an all-sports tear right now. Murphy has gone 8-2 with his last 10 NBA selections (+1,700), 8-4 with his last 12 NHL selections (+1,525), and 8-5 with his last 13 MLB plays (+1,110). Murphy is on a 21-13, +2,540 long-term NBA run and has banked +2,205 over the past month with his hockey service. He is also dialed in with his top plays, going 5-0, +4,000 with his 8-Unit Plays in NBA and NHL. Murphy has also been dialed in on his UFC fights, going 25-14 this year (64%) and drilling 2 of his last three 7-unit positions for +700. The WNBA is off to a winning season, including a 1-0 record on his top plays for +700 with 2 of 2 winning years under his resume. Get on board today!

RAPHAEL ESPARZA has been very successful in the NHL playoffs, banking +2,500, and this weekend he will have more ice winners. Esparza will have a 6-Unit MLB Play Friday and last year he put up one of the best seasons in the country, taking home +8,270 for the year. He will also have a 7-Unit WNBA Play on Saturday and he is having a small winning season with the ladies. Last week Esparza nailed his 6-Unit UFC Vegas Play and he is 10-4, +3195 in the octagon. Finally, Esparza will have horse racing plays on Monday and weekend soccer plays. You pick the sport: he picks the winners! Sign up now!

SCOTT RICKENBACH is on a fantastic 64-38 (+7,320) NHL heater and he is also on a 36-26 (+2,920) NBA run. His WNBA picks are on a 5-1 (+1,840) profit surge. It is fantastic that the WNBA is back and that MLB is underway. His 2025 delivered a profit of +4,635 in MLB after joining Doc's last season and is currently on a 31-21 (+2,340) run on the diamond.

NBA Prediction From Robert Ferringo:

Take New York (-5.5) over Cleveland (8 p.m., Thursday, May 21)

That’s now three straight wins with our free plays in this space. Let’s get another one here. Cleveland had its chance in Game 1. I mean, how do you blow a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter of a playoff game? How do you blow that lead in ANY game? I think that all of the momentum from Game 1 is going to roll over into Game 2. The Knicks had nine days in between games so they came out a little rusty. Cleveland, fresh off its Game 7 win on Sunday, was rolling. The Cavs don’t have that advantage anymore. The Knicks are dominant at home and The Garden will be rocking again. They have won three of the four meetings with the Cavs this season and the home team is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS in those games. I think the Knicks win this series in five games and I don’t see them losing at home. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

NHL Prediction From Scott Rickenbach:

Take #53 Montreal (+1.5) at Carolina (8 p.m., Thursday May 21)

Carolina, it goes without saying, is a fantastic hockey club. But this is a tough spot for them. They rolled through each of the first two rounds of the post-season. As a result, the Hurricanes are playing just their 9th game of the post-season plus have been off since May 9th. That is a span of almost two weeks! That is going to lead to some rust here. Montreal, on the other hand, comes into this match-up off a 7-game series victory over the Sabres. They won it on Monday and that means they have been off 2 days for this game which is a good rest period without being excessive. Four of the Canes last 7 wins have been by just a 1 goal margin and the Canadiens have gone 6-2 on the road in the post-season! Also, 1 of those 2 losses was by just 1 goal. That said, the puck line in the -150 price range to have 1.5 goals with the Habs is absolutely worth a look here. Take Montreal Puck Line +1.5 goals (-150).

MLB Prediction From Vernon Croy:

Take Arizona (-1.5) over Colorado (9:40 p.m., Thursday, May 21)

Now let's get to your MLB comp play for Thursday May 21st, 2026, between the Colorado Rockies at the Arizona Diamondbacks. Sugano takes the mound for the Rockies and Arizona has hit .364 against him lifetime with an on-base percentage of .440. Sugano has pitched better on the road this season than at home with an ERA of 3.43 and opponents hitting just ..221 against him. Sugano has struggled with an ERA of 6.46 over his last three starts with opponents hitting .298 against him. Rodriguez has pitched solidly overall this season with an ERA of just 2.53. Rodriguez has also pitched great at home this season with an ERA of just 1.65 and opponents hitting just .165 against him. Take Arizona on the runline -1.5.

MLB Prediction From Jason Sharpe:

Take Baltimore over Detroit (7 p.m., Friday, May 22)

The Detroit Tigers have been one of the bigger disappointments in Major League Baseball to start the 2026 season as they've lost their followers a league leading 11 units overall. The Tigers are 7-19 on the year on the road and have dropped 10 of their last away from home. Detroit is expected to go with starter Jack Flaherty in this one here. Flaherty has been an extreme fly ball pitcher early on this season and that could spell trouble here in Baltimore's Camden Yards as the baseball tends to carry in this hitter friendly environment. Take Baltimore to win this game. 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 Strike Point Sports:

Take Toronto over Pittsburgh (7 p.m., Friday, May 22)

Toronto is finding out that being the hunted, coming off the World Series appearance, is much different than being the hunter. The Blue Jays are currently 4 games under .500 and they are just trying to tread water until the reinforcements arrive to help their pitching staff. Veteran Kevin Gausman is as steady as ever and has uniquely allowed 11 earned runs over 28.2 innings through five starts on the road and at home. Gausman didn’t allow a run over 6 innings in his best outing of the season at Detroit his last time out, and I think he is going to pitch well at home in this matchup. There were high hopes for Bubba Chandler this season to join Paul Skenes as a 1-2 punch atop the Pirates rotation, but things have not worked out for Chandler who has been wildly inconsistent and issued to many walks (31 BB, 42 IP). Pittsburgh has lost the last 5 starts Chandler has made being outscored 33-11 and with how patient the Blue Jays are, I think they will be able to get guys on base and manufacture runs the way they do.

Futures Prediction From Raphael Esparza:

Take New York Yankees (Series Price) over Tampa Bay Rays (7 p.m., Friday May 22)

If you watched Doc's Daily last Friday one of my 'Free Plays' was taking the Chicago White Sox +125 weekend Series Price over the Chicago Cubs and easily cashed that ticket. The Tampa Bay Rays travel to the Bronx to face off the Yankees for the battle of 'First Place' the AL East division. I know the Rays will have some of their best arms starting this weekend, but I will take the Yankees bats at home against anybody, and I see the Pinstripes taking 2 out 3 games. Don't forget in early April in Tampa the Rays swept the Yankees in a 3-game series, and I see the Yankees getting some redemption.

Soccer Prediction From Doc's Sports:

Take San Jose (+150) over Portland (9:30 p.m., Saturday May 23)

This is the last match before the International Break for the World Cup. San Jose is second place in the Western Conference and enters the week five points off the best mark in the entire MLS. This side is a legit championship contender with a +17 goal differential through 14 matches. Compare that to Portland, at 12th in the Western Conference with a -4 goal differential. Both teams will put extra emphasis on getting points before the break, but the Earthquakes have the players and coaching to get the three points here on the road. San Jose has never won here but this looks like the year it can happen as the Earthquakes are second in away form in MLS this season. They average over two goals per match on offense and have allowed a goal per match on defense. San Jose has won two of the last three meetings, with one draw, and we think they are well positioned to collect full points here before the break.

MLB Prediction From Nick Menken:

Take Texas over L.A. Angels (7:20 p.m., Sunday, May 24)

This AL West divisional clash wraps up on Sunday Night Baseball, and all signs point to a premium pitching showcase where the road favorites hold a distinct upper hand. The primary edge here sits with the Texas Rangers. Texas boasts one of the most elite and reliable pitching staffs in the league. They excel at limiting hard contact and shutting down rallies before they can even start. That spells trouble for a struggling Los Angeles Angels offense that has found runs incredibly hard to come by lately. The Halos have lacked consistency at the plate, heavily relying on sporadic big hits rather than sustained rallies. While the under is a very tempting look here given the Angels' offensive slumps and the major stadium dimensions in Anaheim, the smartest side is backing the vastly superior team. Texas features the deeper, more powerful lineup and the lockdown arms necessary to suppress the Angels all night. Expect the Rangers' pitching to set the tone early, allowing their high-caliber bats to grind out a low-scoring but decisive victory. Take the Texas Rangers moneyline.

MLB Prediction From Griffin Murphy:

Take N.Y. Yankees (-1.5) over Kansas City (7:40 p.m., Tuesday, May 26)

New York has dominated the Royals for years on end, and we believe this trend will sustain. Kansas City is 25th in baseball when it comes to offensive runs per game and 20th in ERA as a team. The Yankees are 4th when it comes to offensive runs scored per game, 2nd in OPS, and 1st in home runs. We just don't see how this Royals offense is going to keep up in the set. Kansas City is also presently 3-7 in their last 10 games and 13-11 at home. We believe the Yankees are far superior and dominate them here on the run line.
