Free Play from Doc’s Sports.

The Tigers have been playing strong defense all season long and getting around a field goal may come into pay even if they do not win this game straight-up. Clemson is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. Pittsburgh is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played during the month of October. Take the underdog and expect this game to go down to the wire. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend football card highlighted by another strong slate of selections from the Big 10. Get them now and let 50 years of handicapping experience work for you. |

|
Much has been made about Kyrie Irving and his vaccine status. But this Nets team is probably still the best in the East without him as long as they stay healthy. They should be extra motivated in this one because of the revenge factor from the playoffs last season and also because they will see the Bucks getting their rings and that will provide extra incentive that the Bucks won’t have on the court. We think the wrong team is favored here. |

3-Unit Play. Take Florida +100 over Tampa Bay (Tuesday at 7pm) Note* Doc's Soccer also has a big card today as kick-offs are at 3pm! As per your selections above, each team has been carefully selected as they fit our system and we expect to turn a profit here tonight. Pittsburgh has enough offense to handle Dallas easily, while the Sabres are catching the Canucks in a good spot and the Panthers are catching the Lightning dealing with injury troubles. Let's have a day today! |

6-Unit Play: Take 911 ASTROS/RED SOX OVER (8:08pm E, Tuesday, October 19) HOU: Greinke. BOS: Pivetta Until the total of the games between Houston and Boston gets up to the mid-teens, we don't see why anyone would go under. These offensive powerhouses score a ton of runs, even when they don't have to. The wind is just like it was last night, blowing to right field, so we, once again, expect an exciting offensive game. |

5-Unit Play: Take 911 HOUSTON ASTROS OVER RED SOX (8:08pm E, Tuesday, October 19) HOU: Greinke. BOS: Pivetta The Red Sox have gotten timely hits that have allowed them to score a plethora of runs in the first 3 innings so far in this series. Solid, early leads like that are almost impossible to overcome. We don't see that happening tonight with Greinke on the mound. Greinke is a true pitcher and should force an out, or even more in high stress situations. The other Astros pitchers, so far, haven't done that. Look for Houston to be the team that grabs the early lead tonight and throw some of that Boston luck back at them. It should be no surprise that the Astros' rotation number is 911 - this is definitely emergency time for them. |

4-Unit Play: Take 913 BRAVES/DODGERS OVER (5:08pm E, Tuesday, October 19) ATL: Morton. LAD: Buehler We're sticking with the way things have gone so far in these playoffs and taking over the total tonight. In regular season games, Dodger Stadium is a pitcher's park, but they don't usually play at 5 in the afternoon, with the wind blowing out at 8mph and a temperature of 70 degrees. Look for a lot of runs tonight, from both teams. |

5-Unit Play: Take 913 ATLANTA BRAVES OVER DODGERS (5:08pm E, Tuesday, October 19) ATL: Morton. LAD: Buehler It's hard to believe Charlie Morton is still pitching - seems like he's been on the hill forever. Well, he is, and the Playoffs are where he shines. Morton is as good as anyone and if he can give us 4-5 strong innings tonight, the Braves can steal one. Most have already chalked up a win for the Dodgers tonight, but we like the value of the Braves. |

NBA | Oct 20, 2021 Celtics vs Knicks |
UNDER 216½ -105 | |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
The Celtics have a new coach and we expect he will bring a new attitude to this team, who should have a much better season with some reshuffling of the front office and coaching staff. This team has all the talent to be one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, and the Knicks are already there as they were by far the best defensive team last year. We expect that defensive intensity to continue this season, and in this rivalry opening game we expect both teams to give it all on the defensive side of the ball against a total that looks a few points too high. |

NBA | Oct 20, 2021 Bulls vs Pistons |
Bulls -4½ -110 at BetVegas |
|
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
We see the Bulls as being much improved this season, and the Pistons are still a major work in progress. Chicago is now on a different tier in the Eastern Conference and they are a playoff team in our eyes. We think this opening line is short as we had this one handicapped at 7.5, so getting some value on the other side of the NBA key number of 7 shows us the oddsmakers are a bit behind on this team. We see the Bulls getting a comfortable win tonight. |

NBA | Oct 20, 2021 Pacers vs Hornets |
OVER 223½ -110 | |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
These are going to be two of the better offensive teams in the NBA and two teams that are going to be hit or miss defensively. We think they will both miss tonight as we see a fast pace here and a high-scoring game for both teams. The last time these teams met, the score was over 260, and the over is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings in Charlotte. |

2-Unit Play: Take 911 ASTROS/RED SOX OVER (3:08pm E, Wednesday October 19) HOU: Valdez. BOS: Sale Well, it's de ja vu all over again. The wind is blowing out to right, it's a warm day game, two explosive offenses who are squaring the barrel on almost every pitch, and a team with more momentum than a loaded freight train. Yep, we're going over again, it seems. |

3-Unit Play: Take 911 HOUSTON ASTROS OVER RED SOX (3:08pm E, Wednesday, October 20) HOU: Valdez. BOS: Sale Today's game is all about momentum and it's pretty easy to figure out who has most of it, especially coming back just 15 hours later after scoring 9 runs faster than a mercury rocket. It may not sound like much, but it's huge. Look for Houston to jump on Sale early (Sale might even beat himself). After a couple of missed calls, or base hits, he may just go ballistic. He was close to losing it in his last start and, unless he's seen a shrink since then, you can expect him to be a little explosive on the hill and it may lead to his exit before the 3rd inning. Houston should score early and often. |

SERVICE BIO |
|---|
|
Doc's Sports Service has been in the sports handicapping business since 1971, and we are recognized as one of the leaders and most trusted names in the industry. Most handicapping services are one-man operations, but here at Doc’s Sports we are among the most progressive thinkers in the industry, and we have assembled some of the finest experts in the country for our service. We are one of the few handicapping companies that have withstood the test of time because of hard work, honesty and consistently of providing winners to our valued clients. Since 1971 Doc’s Sports became famous for our college football Big Ten Game of the Year that won and covered the point spread 19 years in a row. Doc’s Sports is one of the only handicapping services whose powerful influence has historically moved the official Las Vegas line more than seven points. At Doc’s Sports we often focus on lesser-known teams and less-popular games as oftentimes less information is available on those teams and games and certain trends tend to stick out and offer value that the average person may not catch. Oddsmakers set lines to balance the action, so in reality we're often handicapping against the general public perception, and the general public rarely ever wins long term. When you think of it that way our job is really not that difficult since we have more than four decades of experience and know what to look for when handicapping a game. The sportsbooks and oddsmakers have to handicap and set lines for every game -- we simply find a few of their mistakes. Doc’s Sports uses a combination of technical and fundamental handicapping along with exclusive information that we gather from a vast network of contacts that we have developed over the past 40+ years. At Doc’s Sports we built our name in the 1970s by becoming one of the best in handicapping college sports. That still holds true today as our best results still come from college football and college basketball. We also have individual full-time handicappers for NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, WNBA, CFL and major horse races, and we feel we have some of the top experts in the country in these designated fields. We are always in search of the best talent for our team, and what surprises most people is that some of our best information comes from our own clients. These are trusted clients that have been not only customers but have turned into friends of ours over the years, and they are able to pick up on key information in their areas. We love the feeling of being able to help people make money when facing challenging odds. Good money can be made if one has the connections, and here at Doc's Sports we pride ourselves on uncovering the edge that gives the clients the ability to beat the books on a consistent basis. |
