Nover’s View: Lynx-Wings Free WNBA Thursday Play (Early Start)

On June 27, 2024, in Free Picks, WNBA, by Stephen

Wings plus 10 1/2 hosting Lynx (early start) Minnesota is in the argument for best team in the WNBA right now at 13-3 and fresh off a 94-89 upset win against the Liberty in the Commissioner’s Cup Trophy championship game this past Tuesday night in New York.  Dallas is 3-13. That’s the worst record in […]

Nover’s View: Blue Jays-Red Sox Free Tuesday Play

On June 25, 2024, in Free Picks, MLB, by Stephen

Blue Jays plus $1.10 at Red Sox John Schneider and his underachieving Blue Jays are one of my least favorite managers and teams in baseball this year. But I like the price and spot for Toronto here. The Blue Jays have Kevin Gausman going and are expected to get back Bo Bichette from the injured […]

Nover’s View: Sparks-Liberty Free WNBA Thursday Play

On June 20, 2024, in Free Picks, WNBA, by Stephen

That changes tonight as Gray, one of the dozen best players in the league, is set to make her season debut. Given that the Aces are home, finally will have Gray and […]

On June 19, 2024, in Uncategorized, by Stephen

Was Willie Mays the greatest center fielder of all-time? When you examine the five factors – power, batting average, speed, fielding and arm strength – the answer is a clear-cut yes. I grew up in the 1960’s closely watching baseball. Many of the superstars of that era had a certain flair and charisma that is […]

Nover’s View: Padres-Mets Free Sunday Play

On June 16, 2024, in Free Picks, MLB, by Stephen

Sunday, June 16 Padres minus $1.15 at Mets  The Mets are going for a three-game home sweep of the Padres. I don’t see them getting it in a pitching matchup of Dylan Cease vs Tylor Megill. The Mets have played worse at home while the Padres have been better on the road. New York is […]
