| MLB | Apr 19, 2019 Phillies vs. Rockies |
Phillies +119 at 5DIMES |
started |
|
The set-up: The Rockies had lost eight in a row and 12 of 13 before last night’s 6-2 win. However, I think the hard-hitting Phillies will bounce back here and take advantage of this “on again, off again” Rockies offense. I think the starters a wash today, with Vince Velasquez going for Philadelphia and German Marquez heading to the hill for the home side. The pitchers: Marquez (2-1, 2.00 ERA) has been a bright spot for Colorado and for the most part he’s been decent vs. Philly throughout his career, going 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA in three career starts, allowing seven runs over 19 innings opposed. Velazquez (0-0, 2.25) is 2-1 with a 5.23 ERA in six career starts vs. the Rockies. Note that Philadelphia has won all three games in which he’s pitched so far this season. The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Philadelphia is 10-5 (+3.7 units) vs. right-handed starters this year, while Colorado is just 3-7 (-5 units) in the same position. Consider the visitors in this one. FREE PLAY |

NHL | Apr 18, 2019 Golden Knights vs Sharks |
Sharks -118 at pinnacle |
Won $100 |

The set-up: A great price for a desperate home team. It’s “do or die” for the disappointing Sharks, who have squandered home ice advantage and likely this series. However, I do indeed believe that San Jose will dig deep here and find a way to send this one back to Las Vegas for another game. The pick: Also note that Vegas is just 1-5 in its last six on the road still. San Jose was knocked out of the playoffs by the Knights last year and I expect it to risk life and limb getting into shooting and passing lanes tonight to get back into this series. No need to over think this one. Great value on the hungry Sharks. San Jose Sharks 10* play |

NBA | Apr 18, 2019 76ers vs Nets |
76ers -135 at sportsbook |

|
The set-up: The Nets came out and shocked the 76ers in Game 1 103-92, but the 76ers bounced back and stormed to a 145-123 win in Game 2. These teams split four regular season meetings, but I think the 76ers will build off their Game 2 win and once again come in focused on the task at hand. Philadelphia likely took the Nets for granted in Game 1 and it was close at half in Game 2 as well. However the 76ers rolled in the second half and I believe that momentum is carried over. The pick: While this is indeed a money-line play, I think it’s still interesting to note that Philly is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 off a home blowout win by 20 points or more, while Brooklyn is just 9-10 ATS as a home dog this season. I’m banking on the visitors winning this one outright. Philadelphia 76ers (Moneyline) 9* play |

NBA | Apr 18, 2019 Nuggets vs Spurs |
Nuggets +4 -110 at sportsbook |
Lost $110.0 |

The set-up: San Antonio shocked the Nuggets in Game 1 with an outright win and Denver had its hands full in Game 2 as well. But Nikola Jokic and company finally got it figured out in the second half of Game 2 to overcome a 19 point deficit to beat San Antonio and I believe they’ll carry that momentum over here. Denver was one of the best on the defensive end of the floor all year and that showed by holding the Spurs to just 103 points average over the first two games. San Antonio also looked good by holding the Nuggets to an average 96 points, but they’d allow 114 last time out and I think they’ll once again have problems containing this now confident visiting side. The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Denver is 6-1 in its last seven after a home victory, while SA is just 9-13 ATS this season after playing two straight on the road. Grab the points and expect a war until the final horn. Denver Nuggets 10* play |

MLB | Apr 19, 2019 Diamondbacks vs Cubs |
Cubs -150 at betonline |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
|
The set-up: Chicago had Thursday off and it’s won seven of ten. The Cubs come in with considerable confidence after sweeping the Fish on the road. So far Kyle Hendricks has struggled for Chicago, but I think the veteran will bounce back here in this favorable matchup. The Diamondbacks have also been rolling, but after a three-game sweep in Atlanta, including a 4-1 win on Thursday afternoon, I think the visitors take a step back here with Merrill Kelly on the hill. The pitchers: Hendricks (0-3, 5.40 ERA) has completed only five innings once in three starts this year. He is however 2-1 with a 2.49 ERA in four career starts vs. the D-Backs, allowing 17 hits over 25 1/3’s frames opposed, striking out 25 and walking six. Kelly (1-1, 3.79) has been decent, striking out 17 and walking three over 19 innings so far this year. Clearly he faces a stiff test in this difficult road venue this afternoon though. The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Arizona is still only 3-6 (-2.3 units) this year vs. right-handed starters, while Chicago is 69-48 the last two years after allowing two runs or less in its previous contest (shut out the Marlins twice in its series sweep.) Lay the price. Chicago Cubs 10* play |

NHL | Apr 19, 2019 Avalanche vs Flames |
Flames -170 at pinnacle |
|
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
|
The set-up: Do or die for the No. 1 seed. Colorado leads 3-1 and if Calgary doesn’t find a way to win this one, it’ll become the second top seed in the Western Conference in three years to be ousted in the first round of the playoffs. Philipp Grubauer managed a Game 2 win for the Avs in Calgary, but overall he’s just 1-2-0 North of the border. “We’re not done yet,” Flames’ captain Mark Giordano to the Calgary Sun. “We have a big home game coming up and then get it back here.” The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Colorado is still just 18-27 (-6.5 units) vs. teams with winning records, while Calgary is 23-15 (+4.9 units) this season in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent. With the home town crowd behind them, I expect the Flames to step up and produce their best effort of this series. Look for the Avs to pack up their tents early as they head home for Game 6. Calgary Flames 10* play |

Age: 59 Will Rogers believes that there is always value somewhere, and he wants to help you find it. Rogers is here to serve as your personal guide through the world of sports investing. He will help you navigate through both opportunities and pitfalls with the one goal to help you make money. These are some of the many attributes Rogers brings to the table. Success: A proven winner in every walk of life. Vision: A laser-like ability to focus on relevant data. Resources: A team of proven handicappers. A vast network of contacts. Background Rogers has worked hard his entire life and he's achieved success at every level. Five years in university. Five years in research. quantitative analysis. Twenty five years in his second passion of running high-end kitchens. He's rubbed shoulders with the rich and big players. Royalty, sometimes. He's built and motivated kitchen brigades. He's taken the heat and he's delivered the product. Before committing to sports investing full-time Rogers was working as a trouble shooter. He was analyzing and resolving issues in failing workplaces. Rogers' career was intense and pressure-filled but he never stopped loving or following sports. With the advent of the Internet, participating in fantasy pools and investing in sports was a natural progression. Success followed. Achievements In Handicapping Rogers officially turned "pro" in 2013. Since then, he's found success in EVERY sport. Right off the bat, his 2013 NHL season was nothing short of phenomenal. He won 67% of ALL plays (for the season!), going 97-48-4 and finishing +$24,786 in net profit! But many consider his most impressive achievement to date to be his incredible performance in the 2014 NFL playoffs. He was 18-3 overall, showing profits of more than +$13,000, and of course he had the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Not to be outdone, in 2015, Rogers put together an outstanding College Football regular season (+$13,944).Most recently, NBA was Rogers' biggest MONEY-MAKER! He just finished the (2016-17) season by going 116-67-6 with sides and on an overall 17-7 playoff run (4-1 Finals).For whatever reason, May has ALWAYS been Rogers "time of year." 2016 saw him turn a $25,358 profit for the month. Incredibly, May of '17 was EVEN MORE PROFITABLE at $27,960.But even though NBA is now over, don't expect the profits to stop ROLLING in. Rogers has been *ON FIRE* throughout the first half of the MLB season! Money Management/Rating Of Games Rogers takes a conservative long-term approach to investing on sports. He has seen too many sharp handicappers done in by mismanaging their money. He's not interested in unnecessary risk and/or high volatility. He's confident in his abilities. But, he keeps his wager sizes to a small percentage of his bankroll and consistent. He's content in the knowledge that his long-term strategy will produce profits. A 10* rated play represents 0.5 percent of his bankroll. Systems Used For Handicapping Games Rogers and his team take pride in their day-to-day knowledge about every team on the board. They have a wide variety of proven handicapping techniques in their arsenal. Knowing when to utilize and employ is key. Quite frankly, methods will vary from day-to-day, sport-to-sport and week-to-week. Nothing works forever. An ability to shift on the fly and to adjust to changing market conditions keeps the Rogers' group ahead of the curve. Quote: "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." |
