8-Unit Play: Take 921 Astros -110 over Indians (7:15 p.m., Saturday, May 26)
I'm backing the Astros on Saturday with McCullers over Carrasco. The Astros have had Cleveland's number this year winning four of the five meetings, including the last two as Houston has outscored the Indians 19-4. Cleveland is in first place in the AL Central only because it's the weakest division in the majors. Houston is 18-7 on the road and the Indians have the worst bullpen in the major leagues with a 6.23 ERA after last night's debacle. The Astros are on a 35-12 run and average 6.4 rpg against bullpens with an ERA of 4.7 or higher over the last two seasons. Lance McCullers Jr. is 6-2 and the Astros have won five of his last seven starts, including a 3-1 win over these Indians on Sunday when he pitched seven shutout innings on just one hit. McCullers has allowed more than two runs once his last seven starts and he hasn't allowed a home run since April 17. Cleveland has lost four of Carlos Carrasco's last five starts and the Indians have had trouble with the better teams this season as they have lost seven of their last eight versus teams with .600 or better winning percentages. And finally, The Indians struggle at the plate and Houston is 14-2 this season against opponents with a team batting average of .260 or less. Houston held the 16 teams to an average of 1.9 rpg (scoring 6.6 rpg themselves). We'll back the Houston Astros on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

3-Unit Play. Take Under 8 Houston at Cleveland (7:15 p.m. Saturday, May 26)
Cleveland has struggled all season long to string together solid performances and they just can't seem to get into a rhythm. Fortunately for the Indians, no other team in the American League Central has been playing good baseball either as every team in the division has a record under .500. Facing Lance McCullers isn't going to help them as he has pitched very well for Houston this season. McCullers is 6-2 with a 3.20 ERA through 10 starts this season and he shut out the Indians over 7 innings on one hit while striking out 8 less than a week ago. Carlos Carrasco squared off and took the loss against McCullers but he has 24 strikeouts over his last three starts and I think he will be able to limit the Astros in this contest. Houston has taken the first two games of this series scoring 19 runs but I think this game will be a low scoring affair.
Best of Luck - Strike Point Sports

4 Units - #914 Texas (-140) over KC 5/26 *4 EST

Short and sweet. Ian Kennedy is a fade pitcher for KC, just deplorable, over a 10 ERA his last 3, a 1.91 WHIP and gives up hits and runs like crazy, a and while Colon for Texas is nor bargain, he will outpitch Kennedy and Texas will out hit KC, off 8 runs last night in a big bounce back win. KC bullpen is better than Texas's right now, but I think Kennedy could give up 4 or 5 out of the gate in the first 3 or 4 innings and it goes downhill from there. I expect a big Texas win here today.

4 Units on #914 Texas

BONUS 2 UNIT PLAY - #916 Detroit (-120) over White Sox 5/26 *4:10 est

Fading a bad team on the road, and Santiago who takes the hill for the Sox and allowed 3 homers in his last game. Liriano is a solid and consistent pitcher for the Tigers but had struggled recently but pitched 7 no hitter innings before allowing a single against Seattle in his last outing and I like him at home here.

7-Unit Play. #509. Take Over 213 Houston/Golden State (Saturday @ 9:05pm est)
Let's look to make it 3 straight winners. We want to end the season on the best positive note we can and work hard for our clients as still plenty of basketball left.
The Warriors are on the brink of elimination for the first time in seemingly forever. It's hard to believe they come out flat at home and don't take advantage of Houston squad that will be without Chris Paul today. The Warriors have also put up two extremely low totals in their last two games - 92 and 94 points respectively. Sooner or later -we believe this is the game - they are going to go off and blitz Houston right out of the building. They have far too much fire power to be held in check for three straight games and let's be honest - Houston's best defense is playing excellent offence. The Rockets best chance to end this series is by outscoring GS and not shutting them down defensively?they just aren't built like that. Without Paul, we expect Harden and Gordon to push the pace and take a ton of shots. We don't have to worry about the Warriors trio of KD, Steph and Klay because we expect them to do damage in this must-win game. We believe the last two low-scoring games were just blips on the radar and not a true depiction of how this series is supposed to be played out. Both teams are shooting the ball well enough to reach the century mark - so in a due or die situation for the Warriors, they will shoot the ball like their lives depended on it. And we know when they got hot, no defense can stop them.


3-Unit Play. #918. Take Tampa Bay -142 over Baltimore Orioles (Saturday @ 4:10pm est)
It's a bounce-back kind of day for not only us in the MLB, but for the Tampa Bay Rays in their matchup against the Orioles today. The Rays were unable to register a single run last night against a pitcher they had previous success off of. Baseball is like that sometimes but we don't expect the offense to be held down today against Andrew Cashner. Cashner has given up 8 walks in his past three games while surrendering 19 hits. If we expand those numbers, it's 27 walks in 55 innings, which cause for concern if you are an O's fan. The Rays are 3rd in the league in batting average, so it's only a matter of time in this one that they get a key hit with runners on base and put up a crooked number on the scoreboard. The Orioles on the other hand are still an inferior team despite last night's win. They are still 17 games sub .500 and rank near the bottom in every offensive category. Rays' pitcher, Stanek has faired well previously against the O's, tossing four innings and giving up just one run and two hits while striking out six. The O's are just 2-6 in Cashners' last 8 starts and just 2-12 when giving up two or fewer runs in their previous game. The Rays are have won 5 of 6 against the O's at home and we expect that to reach 6 of 7 after today's ball game.



3-Unit Play. WNBA #319. Take Under 165.5 Dallas/Atlanta (Saturday @ 6:00pm est)
This is essentially a revenge spot for Atlanta who got blown out by Dallas in their season opening game, 101-78. The Dream took that anger and frustration out on Chicago in their next game, holding the Sky to just 63 points on 37% shooting. Atlanta is opening up a four game home stand with tonights contest, so getting off to a good start will be crucial for them. One way to do that is to play sound defensively and not let Dallas put up another century marker in this contest. Dallas is coming off a loss to Minnesota where they didn't shoot the ball particularly well against a Lynx defense who came to play. If Atlanta can do the same, Dallas should one again struggle to top 70 points. Dallas is also in a lookahead spot to New York, so the focus could waiver and lead to poor play. Dallas has played to the Under 4 times in their last 5 games when coming off an ATS win, while Atlanta has played to the under in 4 of their last 5 games overall. We believe the number is a bit too high for these two teams in this specific spot, so we are counting on defense to get the job done tonight.

SATURDAY CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINALE
8 Unit Play. Take Real Madrid -160 to Lift the Trophy over Liverpool (2:45p.m., Saturday, May 26) (Graded after the match is completely over - Real Madrid must be listed as the Winner no matter if its overtime or penalty kicks)
Saturday afternoon at NSC Olimpiyskiy - Kyiv the Champions League finale is set and we should see a fantastic UCL finale. Real Madrid and Zinedine Zidane's squad are out to make history by becoming the first club to win the Champions League 3 seasons in a row. In the way of history is Liverpool and Liverpool has had great success this year but I feel Saturday afternoon could be their downfall. Can the Liverpool defense slow down Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale is the big question but look for Mohamed Salah to be the big difference on Saturday he his play is the reason why Real Madrid lift the Champions League trophy. Real Madrid have been here before so I don't see them playing nervous but Liverpool could be a little shocked and could come out a bit rusty in this pitch. The first half of this pitch should be a tight close game but I see the Real Madrid starts taking over this game and I see Real Madrid winning this pitch at regular time but to be safe we are taking Real Madrid to 'Lift the Trophy' in stead of the 3-way option.
