Last time around the trends we strong on the under in Carolina and we got burnt by an empty netter!! I HATE THOSE!!! The second game was the under between the 76ers and the Heat and that one was easy cash. The last game for the Mets vs Fried and all collapsed top on the 6th for the Mets and we lost that one.

Let's see what we got today

LEAFS / LIGHTNING OVER 6.5

The Lightning's stars really showed up for game 2 after an awful first game. The Leafs' efforts were a little too late in the 3rd where they finally got the momentum going but it wasn't enough. I expected a high-scoring series and game one had my trying to find wtf happened to Tampa however I was right back on track with game 2. Trends are in favour of the over while my NHL model doesn't really show much value. We have 2 sets of sharps on the total, one that bet the under yesterday and another on the over today. 55% of the handle is on the over.

• Over is 21-5-2 in Maple Leafs' last 28 road games

• Over is 7-1-1 in Maple Leafs' last 9 games as a road underdog.

• Over is 7-1-1 in Maple Leafs' last 9 games as a road underdog.

• Over is 9-2 in Lightning's last 11 overall.

• Over is 7-1 in Lightning's last 8 games as a favourite.

• Over is 6-1 in Lightning's last 7 games playing on 1 day's rest.

SUNS / MAVS UNDER

Look like the trends for tonight is on the under in the NBA also. I don't think we are too late for this one but the total did drop from 220 to 218 while 55% is on the over. An average of 236 points were scored in the first 2 games and that is unusual for a team like Dallas to allow 120 + in b2b games. The average total set by oddsmakers in both games was set close to 216 and I was hoping to see a much higher total in game 3. I have this game set at 211 and I also support the under tonight.

• The total has gone UNDER in 16 of Phoenix's last 23 games when playing on the road against Dallas

• Under is 14-3-1 in Mavericks last 18 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.

• Under is 23-5-1 in Mavericks last 29 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

• Under is 11-3 in Mavericks last 14 games following a straight-up loss of more than 10 points.

• Under is 28-12-1 in Mavericks last 41 games following a ATS loss.

• Under is 17-8-2 in Suns last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

• Under is 12-4-2 in Suns last 18 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

We got nothing crazy going on in MLB but I will update this article if something comes up and ill bump it at the top of the list.

Good luck today
