Houston Astros -155

The Astros are worth the juice here on Sunday. 

We backed the Yankees on the RL yesterday as they dominated from start to finish in a Game 1 win. Now, the Astros simply cannot afford to go down 2-0 and Justin Verlander is the perfect guy for the job.

It was rare when he turned in a bad start, but Verlander always seems to respond when he struggles his previous time out. That’s the case here and the RH is going to step up here. 

Verlander has also dominated the Yankees in postseason play. He’s gone 4-0 with a 2.33 ERA in 6 career starts. 

Some trends to note here. Houston are 15-5 SU in their last 20 games, and are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home. The Yankees are 4-10 SU in their last 14 games when playing on the road against Houston.

Expect Verlander to continue that dominance and bounce back from his Game 4 outing, as the Astros even things up. Since this game has odds over -150 I recommend a very small play, but I still want you to back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 6* MLB ML Play

Seahawks +1

You do the math.  Browns on a short week, after a blowout loss in a rout at San Francisco 31-3. They face the Seahawks who make the trip to the eastern time zone for a 1pm ET game coming in off of 10 days rest and a nice win over the division rival Rams. The spread favors Cleveland currently at -1, I've also seen this game at a PK, and Seattle at -1. The total has moved up half a point from 46.5 to 47.

What does your gut say? Mine says Seahawks ATS, even though this feels like a trap game, I'm going to lay my small wager on the QB who has a chance to win an MVP award this year...hint...he's not named Mayfield. 

Russell Wilson is having a career year, and his statistics are off the chart. Wilson is leading the NFL with a 126.3 rating while completing 73.1 percent of his passes. He's been playing MVP-level ball, and that kind of play works at home and on the road. He's unflappable. All he's done is throw for 1,409 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and no interceptions this season.

Against the 49ers Mayfield went 8-of-22 and threw a pair of picks, and only 100 yards passing. He's now sitting with 8 INT's and 4TD's on the year. Now I'm not about to predict that type of game for him Sunday, but don't underestimate the Seahawks pass rush. Ziggy Ansah, and Jadeveon Clowney will have Mayfield dancing in the pocket all day long, let alone the push Seattle will get from their interior D-line. They are very underrated. With the NFL's best tackling LB Bobby Wagner playing in the triangle behind a rejuvenated Al Woods and youngsters Quinton Jefferson and Poona Ford who rotate in at DT the Brown O-line are going to have their hands full. 

I'm interested to see which running back makes a great impact on this game. We will see a couple good ones on display in Chris Carson and Nick Chubb, I love both their styles of play. It'll make this game fun to watch.

Some trends to consider. SEA are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. Cleveland is 1-16 SU and 4-12-1 ATS in its last 17 games played in October. The Browns are also 6-19-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. The Browns are 0-2 at home, and in a few hours they'll be 0-3. 

Back the Seahawks +1, PK, -1, whatever you see around there! If you were lucky to lock this line in earlier in the week you could have had the Seahawks at +2.5. Congratulations! I have them winning this game by 6. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Los Angeles -6.5

The Charges have value laying the points on Sunday Night Football. 

Pittsburgh's season has been filled with injuries as they now saw their 2nd QB go down as Mason Rudolph was drilled in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Rudolph is going through concussion protocol and is listed as questionable for Sunday. Even if he does play, the likelihood of him being at 100% is tough to imagine given the hit he took. 

On the Chargers side, they are going to be in full bounce back mode and come out with some fire here. They struggled at home against Denver last week and now sit below the .500 mark. This is a game where Rivers and company can get their stride early and really pick apart a defense that has struggled this season.

Some trends to note. Chargers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in Week 6. Chargers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Dallas -7

Dallas should be very upset with they play over the last two weeks. 

They started the season off dominant at 3-0, but dropped back to back games to the Saints and Packers. Now, they look to avoid going back to .500 against a Jets team that is an absolute mess. 

New York is actually averaging under 10 points per game, as this offense has been one of the worst we've seen in quite some time. They are unable to sustain any sort of momentum or put any drives together, consistently giving the ball back to the opposing offense.

We should get a fired up Cowboys offense, which should in turn lead to a lot of big plays against a very vulnerable Jets defense.

Some trends to note. Cowboys are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games in Week 6.Cowboys are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play

Atlanta vs. Arizona Over 51

This is a nice spot to expect a lot of scoring chances both ways on Sunday. 

The Cardinals secondary has been an absolute mess this season. They'll once again be without Patrick Peterson, making things even more difficult on the. The Cardinals are giving up 30.7 point per game at home this season, which is one of the worst numbers in the NFL. 

With Matt Ryan having to sling the ball given how bad his defense is playing, look for him to take plenty of shots down field with Julio Jones. 

Atlanta's defense is right there in terms of bad with Arizona. Giving up 30.4 points per game, they were torched last week against Houston and will struggle with the dual threat ability of Murray in this one.

Some trends to note. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Arizona.Over is 11-3 in the last 14 meetings.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play

Jacksonville PK

The Jaguars have value at home here on Sunday. 

Jacksonville has been one of the more entertaining teams to watch in the NFL thanks in large part to rookie Gardner Minshew. He has taken this team by storm after Nick Foles went down Week 1, throwing for 1279 yards and 9 touchdowns to just one pick. 

His presence alone has got this Jacksonville team energized and he will have a lot of success against this Saints defense that allowed 24 points and struggled with Tampa Bay's offense last week. 

Jacksonville will also have the edge on the defensive side themselves, as they will be able to slow this run game down. They love to design a lot of different packages and can put a lot of pressure on in the backfield. 

Some trends to note. Saints are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games on grass.Saints are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win.

Back Jacksonville.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Seattle vs. Cleveland Over 46

The Seahawks and Browns battle on Sunday and the Over here has nice value. 

Cleveland was embarrassed on Monday Night Football this past week as the 49ers took it to them. The one thing this Browns team has done well through the early part of the season is respond to losses. 

Returning home and taking on a defense that has shown they have a lot of issues is what Baker Mayfield and this offense needs. Look for him to get his rhythm back and for Cleveland's offense to find their groove early, which certainly benefits the Over. 

Seattle meanwhile has done well themselves with Russell Wilson leading the charge. Putting up 27 points per game, they will look to run a similar game plan to the 49ers as their styles match. With that in mind, they should have a lot of success working the run game, which will open up a lot of lanes in this secondary.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-0 in Browns last 4 games in Week 6. Over is 4-1 in Seahawks last 5 games on grass.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
