Today we absolutely BASH THE BOOKS in 3 sports: *TOP RATED* NHL ICEBREAKER (13-4) and NHL BACK OF THE NET PLAY, NBA 9-2 LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE, MLB HOME RUN PLAY (66.6%), and INTERLEAGUE BEST BET. Join me today and you will BASH THE BOOKS.
Saturday’s FREE PLAY: OVER in the MARINERS/WHITE SOX.
I had to double check this statistic, but eight of the last 10 meetings going back to late July 2024 between Seattle and Chicago have gone over the total. Yesterday‘s contest saw a combined 20-runs scored. Just something about the two teams when they meet, the scoreboard lights up, my friends. Statistically they both average somewhere around 4.5 runs per game. The Mariners enter this matchup playing to eight overs in their last 10 outings while the White Sox come into this matchup playing back-to-back overs. Looking at the pitching matchup further compels me to side with the over. Luis Castillo and Anthony Kay are scheduled. The Seattle right-hander is winless on the campaign at 0-3 with a whopping ERA of 6.29. The team has dropped five of his seven outings 2026. The Chicago left-hander is 1-1 with an ERA of 5.70 as the team has dropped three of his five turns on the campaign. On the road Castillo is possessing an ERA a whopping ERA of 7.31, while at home, Kay is almost as bad, donning an ERA of 5.73. They’re both giving up tons of home runs, and a lot of earned runs. This game is shaping up to be another over like yesterday. Take the over. Thank you.
Chicago Cubs vs. Texas Rangers (MLB) - 7:05 PM EDT

Cubs.
Very quietly, the Chicago Cubs have become the hottest team in baseball, winning 10 consecutive games. With a combination of a surging lineup and a consistent pitching staff, Chicago now owns the best overall record in baseball at 27-12. They have dominated Texas taking four of the last five meetings going back a bit, which does include a series-opening 7-1 victory yesterday. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the spectrum, the Rangers have dropped two in a row and seven of their last 10 games, which does include three of their last four played on their own field. Very simply, deplorable lineup is ranking 28th in scoring, 21st in team batting average, and 26th in OPS. Not only that, but they rank 23rd in home runs and 24th in stolen bases. Edward Cabrera has not allowed a single opponent more than three earned runs this season as the team has won six of his seven outings. Jack Leiter on the other hand, has gotten shelled, owning a 5.45 ERA as the team has dropped five of his last six turns. No matter how you slice it, the Cubs are the play. Take Chicago. Thank you.

Mets.
Maybe the Mets have felt the pressure from the start of the season. They were touted as being a team that should compete for the NL East. However, with 38 games in the rearview mirror, they possess one of the worst records in all of baseball. But everything is going to change today as they face a struggling Diamondbacks opponent. New York took Game 1 of this series yesterday by a score of 3-1, which gave them their fourth win over their last five games. They are starting to heat up and they’re starting to play well on the road. Meanwhile, Arizona is struggling, dropping three in a row, seven of their last eight, and eight of their 10 contests. Their offense has been nonexistent and pitching seems to be looking overworked already. Speaking of which, we have Clay Holmes and Merrill Kelly slated here today. There is no arguing the New York right-hander, who owns an overall ERA of 1.69 and a road record of 3-1 with an ERA of 1.85 has looked sharper than the Arizona right-hander. Kelly is 1-3 on the campaign with an ERA of 9.95, which does include a 0-1 home record and ERA, I should say a whopping ERA of 16.62. No matter how you look at it, I see the Mets starting to stride and taking advantage of a struggling D-Backs team. Take New York. Thank you.
Detroit Pistons vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA) - 3:00 PM EDT
Premium Pick
Pick: Point Spread: 4.5/-110 Detroit Pistons Rating: 9* Joe D's 9-2 NBA LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE

Pistons.
Detroit is the definition of a streaky team. Right now, they are streaking in the right direction winning five consecutive games and covering their last four outings, which does include wins and covers in both games played in this series thus far. To be quite honest, Cleveland is a very good team. However, not only are they showing signs of fatigue, they are crushing followers against the spread. This is a team that has dropped five of their last seven games SU, and six of those last seven ATS. I believe they’re being overvalued here once again. There is no denying the Pistons and their frustrating defense. They matched up quite well with the Cavaliers, and I feel this game will be very competitive and come down to the final seconds. Therefore, we’re taking the visitors. Take Detroit. Thank you.
Colorado Avalanche vs. Minnesota Wild (NHL) - 9:00 PM EDT

Avalanche.
Colorado has dominated Minnesota, not just in this series, but going back a bit. They have taken four of the last five meetings this season in this rivalry, which does include the first two games of this round. You cannot deny the hot run of the Avalanche, which is riding a nine-game hot streak. Their offense is absolutely exploding while their defense has kept eight of their last nine opponents two or less goals scored. They are one of the best road teams I can recall in the last several years in the NHL, sporting a 31-7-5 away record. Minnesota has split out their last 10 games and has been the definition of erratic. They don’t score as much as their opponent and allow more. Very simply Colorado is a better team. Take the Avalanche. Thank you.

Hurricanes.
No, it’s not easy to sweep a team in the playoffs in this day and age. But it truly looks like Carolina will sweep Philadelphia in this round. In the first three meetings of this series, they have outscored their opponent by a combined 10-3. If you recall, in the last round, the Hurricanes swept the Senators in four games as well, outscoring them by a combined 11-5. Going back a bit, this team has won six of their last seven games played as a visitor. It just seems like they are turning up the heat right now, and playing some of the best hockey of the season. Meanwhile, believe it or not Philadelphia has lost five of their list six games. Their defense seems to be overworked and fatigue. This game gets ugly. Take Carolina. Thank you.

Joe D'Amico Release Times
In football, my weekend releases are usually posted by Thursday evening. During the week, Mon, Thurs, Fri, they are up very early that day. Baseball is posted each day early in the am. Basketball is up never any later than the early morning.
Joe D'Amico Rating System
I have several types of plays depending on the sport and source of information. You will know when I have a BIG GAME or a GAME OF THE MONTH or SEASON. Obviously, these are "Special" games that you need to hit hard. Everyday plays are always an average unit for you unless I specify other. With me, I consistently win so you should progress over the course of the season. All picks are played equally unless otherwise specified such as a GOM or TOP PICK noted play.
Joe D'Amico Money Management
All picks are played equally unless otherwise specified such as a GOM or TOP PICK noted play.
I have a basic money management system. I feel that a money management system should be simple enough for anyone to follow, and should be directed at capitalizing on the "Hot Games". See, I have been around bookies my whole life, and understand that you never want to get a name as a "Sharp Better" or "Sharpie" once that happens you will begin to get "blackballed" or :"blacklisted" at both local books and internet books. Therefore, we bet on enough games to come under the radar; however we capitalize on the "Hot Games", as mentioned above. The system is based on units.
The range is from 5 units to 20 units. A safe better would let one unit should consist of 1 percent of your total balance offered by your book. A more risk better would double that and let one unit be 2 percent of his total balance. For example, if I have a 100 game and 1000 a week limit, and I am betting 20 units, a safe bettor would bet $200. A riskier one would risk $400.
