Nice 5-2 night for Joe Duffy’s Picks. It is not that far off from what we have done for 27 years, now at OffshoreInsiders.com
Wise Guy plays are your maximum play. Majors are .75 of Wise Guy plays. Game of the Year and Game of the Month plays still involve the same straight betting as above. While we believe all gamblers need only bet our plays we realize some pick and choose selections. Said distinction is for such ala carte players. All units won quoted on systems are based on one unit per bet.

NBA
Wise Guy
CLEVELAND +1 Atlanta
Yes the Kevin Love injury is big but Kyrie Irving will play. The Adrienne Barbeau theory applies. The deeper we get into the playoffs, the more top heavy a team needs to be.
Yes the Hawks have the depth, but Cleveland has a much better 1-2 punch led by one of the best players off all-time who came to Cleveland to win his hometown a championship. Atlanta swept Cleveland, but King James has much more to prove now, while Atlanta had the chip on their shoulder during the regular season.
Cleveland has best net rating in the NBA playoffs at 9.5 to just 3.9 for Atlanta. Net rating is the different between offensive and defensive efficiency.
Atlanta has two more losses in the postseason despite playing the worst team in the postseason Brooklyn and a Washington team in which their star player Kevin Wall for missed three games, then played two hurt.
Cleveland meanwhile played a Bulls team with Derrick Rose back. Cleveland is without question the better team and should be the favorite.

TAMPA -135 NY Rangers
It is an outsourced pick, previous called a competitor consensus, but renamed to more accurately reflect the parameters. If we have a lean one way and one of the few sports services or sources we respect has a big pick on a certain side or if we are neutral on a pick, but at least two elite sources or contacts have a bet sans any conflicting bets from said sources, it is a bet for us as an outsourced pick.
Tampa-NY Rangers UNDER 5

NY METS (COLON -103) St. Louis (Martinez)
Go with home underdogs with a starting pitcher whose strikes out five or more batters per start, stranding 6.9 or less runners on base per game on the season is +107.1 and 298-240 despite being an underdog every game.
The Mets are 16-5 at home. Carlos Martinez is getting drilled in last three starts his ERA is 10.29 with a 2.375 WHIP. NY is 6-2 with Colon.
Major
WASHINGTON (ZIMMERMAN -137) NY Yankees (Warren)
Overachieving NY has lost 6-of-7. Once underachieving Washington is 15-4 the last 19. We do have an angle that says teams with winning percentage at .550 or better in a big slump is a great fade. Adam Warren has gotten a lot of support, but his road ERA is 6.04.
NY has an OPS of just .569 their last seven games. Washington in the same span is .868. NY had the DH in all but one, Washington did not in all but one.
NY Mets-St. Louis OVER 7
Carlos Martinez is getting drilled in last three starts his ERA is 10.29 with a 2.375 WHIP. Ageing Bartolo Colon has given up 10 runs, nine earned in his last 11 IP. He has been tagged for 15 hits.
LA ANGELS (WEAVER +109) Toronto (Hutchison)
