Royals vs Tigers 1:10pm

ML Royals +100 

Over 9


Listen hear me out yes it may be crazy to bet on the Royals. Remember when coming into May they had the best record in baseball. Since then they have gone 2-12. They have a -38 run differential in that time. That’s not good at all. Nonetheless it’s rare the Tigers sweep anyone. Especially a division rival. Kansas City will give Daniel Lynch the start who has a 18.56 ERA in two starts. He was rocked last time out by the White Sox giving up 8 runs. He will be going up against a red hot offense. The Tigers ranked the second best offense since May 1st. Ranking second in OPS (.816), wOBA (.363) and wRC+ (135). The Tigers have been seeing the ball but with the hot streak the early season struggles still leave them 4.5 games behind the cold Royals. They go for the sweep sending Spencer Turnbull to the hill. Turnbull has a 4.74 ERA in four games started. The contact pitcher has had a rough season as well. He will need to find a good start as well will Lynch. Both bullpens have been used up quite a bit lately. Royals bullpen pitching 19 2/3 innings in the last four games. The Tigers bullpen had their worked cut out for them as well pitching 13 2/3 innings during the same time period. This will be a high scoring game expect that. Bullpens are weak and starters aren’t great. Tigers have a hot offense and Royals can get to the Tigers. Take Royals to take final game of the series in a wild runs contest. 


Cardinals vs Brewers 1:40 EST pm

+118 Cardinals ML 


We have the top two teams in the NL Central matching up on Thursday afternoon. Cardinals lead the NL Central by two games. They will send Jack Flaherty to the mound. Who is the only pitcher with six wins in 2021 being 6-0, with a 2.83 ERA, and .944 WHIP. He’s been pitching his tail off in 2021. He will be matching up against Corbin Burnes who is coming off the IL in what will be his first start since April. Burnes pitched well in April going 2-2 with a 1.53 ERA. He currently has 49 strikeouts and 0 walks. That’s three walks away from a league record for strikeouts with no walks to begin a season. The game will be low scoring. However 6.5 is too low for me to bet under. However, let’s bet Cardinals Moneyline. 


White Sox vs Twins 2:10 EST 

Under 8 


The White Sox and the Twins will be taking on each other for their third of three. The Twins will be trying to avoid a sweep. Minnesota has had a disappointing season, a win against Chicago in the final game maybe can get things going in the right way. They have Michael Pineda taking the ball. Pineda has pitched well in 2021 being 2-1, with a 2.43 ERA, and 32 strikeouts. He will have a lot to handle with a top ranked offense in the White Sox. However the hard thrower can do that which in my belief he will. Him and opposing pitcher Lance Lynn who is also pitching his tail off. Being 3-1, with a 1.52 ERA, and 35 SO. Well, the matchup is great. Lynn is taking Carlos Rodon's start after he was scratched. Lynn pitched for the Twins in 2018. This will be a classic Twins and White Sox close contest that you can expect to be low scoring.

The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division

  The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division  We are about a week since UFC 260 when Francis Ngannou shook up the world. At UFC 260 Francis Ngannou showed off some new ability and his generational power to take home the title world baddest man and the UFC Heavyweight Championship away from Stipe Miocic. The headliner at UFC 260 was the greatest UFC Heavyweight of all time Stipe Miocic defending his title for a second time against The Predator Francis Ngannou. Miocic dominated the first fight with constant takedown pursuit against the non existing takedown defense of Ngannou. Some thought the same would happen, others believed Ngannou power was going to pull through on this occasion. No one really knew if Ngannou improved his cardio and grappling since him and the champ last met. Ngannou got another title shot by knocking out all his opponents in less than a minute except for Derrick Lewis. Which was a snooze fest that Lewis pulled out. Nonetheless Ngannou didn’t have to...

Were You Entertained? By Maybe The Greatest Game Ever

Were You Entertained? By Maybe The Greatest Game Ever How mad are the fans in Mexico City that LA got their game due to poor field conditions? What hell of game the 9-1 Chiefs and 9-1 Rams put on for us last night. The game lived up to all expectations, and more. MVP candidate Todd Gurley was hurt early in the game as he left the game around the 8 minute mark in the 4th, and didn’t get another snap until 7 minutes of game time after that. He had only 12 touches for 55 yards. Luckily his counterpart Kareem Hunt didn’t have a great game either, as he ran for 70 yards in 14 touches. Remember not great game to these Pro Bowlers standers. A task for the Rams to win was to win the turnover battle which they did, but came from a big help from young starting quarterback Jared Goff. Goff through no interceptions had 413 yards throwing, a 117 QB rating, a running touchdown, and 4 touchdown passes. The biggest one came at the end of the game with about 4 minutes left to go that gave LA a 54-...

  Goat Talk NBA Bets June 1st, 2021  All bets through FanDuel  Celtics vs Nets  Nets spread 12.5  Over 233 Kyrie Irving 30+ PTS with win +260  Kyrie Irving top scorer +600  Yes no shocker here but the Nets will take Game 5 and avoid going back to Boston. Somewhere they really don’t want to play after Irving’s bottle incident with the fan. Irving stepped on the leprechaun logo and will step on the Celtics 2021 season. Irving will pop tonight against his former team. Irving is petty. Probably the most in the league. Irving will look to have a superstar night against the Celtics. Bet his friends will let him. Irving will score lots of points in the close out game against the Celtics. Yes -12.5 points seems to be a lot of points to cover but Brooklyn is the pettiest team in basketball they will look to make a statement behind that juggernaut offense. The Celtics stole game 3 and don't expect something of that magnitude to happen again. Kemba Walker is doub...
