| The Iceman's 9-1 start to the MLB season in 2022 was overshadowed by his PERFECT 10-0 start to the NFL season, and his 22-3 (88%) start with college football. Keep in mind .. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF! |

| Fighting | May 15, 2021 Tony Ferguson vs. Beneil Dariush |
Total 2½ -162 at |
started |
|
This is a free play on Over 2.5. Tony Ferguson is now 37 years old, and coming off consecutive losses you might not think he has much left to give as a mixed martial artist. He will be an underdog here against Beneil Dariush, but don't expect this to be an easy fight by any means. Ferguson went the distance in his last fight, losing the decision to Oliveira, and his KO loss to Justin Gaethje came in the fifth round. In 31 professional fights, that was his only loss by knockout. He's also only lost once by submission. He should be able to stand in there for at least three rounds, and an upset wouldn't be that big of a surprise either. GL, Jesse Schule |

MLB | Jun 04, 2023 Mariners vs Rangers |
Rangers -145 at circa |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Free | ||
|
This is a free play on TEX. The Rangers crushed the Mariners in Game 2, and that momentum might carry over here in Game 3. Nate Eovaldi will toe the slab for Texas, and he's 4-0 with a 0.96 ERA in his last five starts. Seattle will hand the ball Bryce Miller, who was roughed up by the Yankees in his last start. He allowed eight runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings in the loss. The Rangers are 20-8 in their last 28 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

WNBA | Jun 04, 2023 Wings vs Sun |
Wings +8½ -110 at circa |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is a 4* play on DAL. The Sun are 5-1, but a closer look at their schedule reveals that there might be more to the story. Not one of those five wins came against a team with a winning record. Only one of those five wins came by a margin wide enough to cover the spread here. Dallas has two losses, and the combined margin of defeat in those games is less than the spread for this game. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |

MLB | Jun 04, 2023 Rockies vs Royals |
Rockies +1½ -158 at linepros |
Lost $158.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||

This is a 4* play on COL. The Royals are a favorite again today, and they are just 9-17 straight up in their last 26 games. As them to cover a runline and they are 5-21 ATS in those games. The Royals are 6-5 straight up in the last 11 head to head meetings, but only half of those wins came by more than one run. While Kyle Freeland has struggled on the road this season, that's out of character for him. The Royals have five wins in Brady Singer's 11 starts, but only one of those wins came by more than one run. GL, Jesse Schule |

Won $100 |

This is a 4* play on CWS. The Tigers have scored just one run in the first two games of this series, and they are on the verge of being swept. Matthew Boyd will toe the slab for Detroit in Game 3, and he's struggled against the White Sox. Chicago's lineup has hit a combined .336 over 128 at bats versus Boyd. The Sox hand the ball to Michael Kopech, who is 3-2 with a 3.00 ERA in his last five starts. The Tigers are 8-22 in the last 30 meetings in Chicago. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 4* play on Washington. After splitting the first two games of this series, the Nats look good as an underdog in the rubber match Sunday. Trevor Williams will toe the slab for Washington, and he's 1-1 with a 3.09 ERA in five home starts. The Phillies hand the ball to Ranger Saurez, who is 0-2 with a 7.13 ERA in four starts. The Nationals lineup is batting .308 over a combined 52 at bats versus Suarez. The Phillies have just three wins by more than one run in their last 19 games. GL, Jesse Schule |

NBA | Jun 04, 2023 Heat vs Nuggets |
OVER 214 -110 |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is a 4* play on Over. One of the stories in Game 1 was the Heat attempting an NBA Playoff record low two free throws. This is one of the factors that resulted in such a low score. Here is what I said prior to the game: "The Miami Heat lead the playoffs in three-point shooting, hitting 39 percent from beyond the arc. The Nuggets aren't far behind hitting 38.6 percent of their three-point attempts. The Heat come in averaging 112 points per game while Denver has averaged 116 points per game in the playoffs. The Joker has put up incredible numbers, averaging 29.9 points, 13.3 rebounds and 10.3 assists. He's put up those numbers against the best defenders in the NBA. The Heat rank near the bottom in the NBA in rebounds per game, and have one of the league's smallest starting lineups. I expect Joker to put up video game numbers in this series, and I like the total to go over in Game 1." The total for Game 2 is several points lower than it was in Game 1, and I expect the Heat to get to the free throw line more often, and hit more threes in Game 2. Whatever the Heat do, I can't see them stopping Joker. I''l take the over here. GL, Jesse Schule |

WHO IS THE ICEMAN? He’s no soothsayer and he doesn’t have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it’s actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly’s Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years. Career Highlights: - Perfect 5-0 Super Bowl Card (2018) - Perfect 6-0 NBA Finals Futures (2017) - Perfect 3-0 NBA Finals Futures (2019) - Perfect 3-0 NBA Finals Futures (2020) - Perfect 8-0 card X-Mas Day (2016) - Perfect 8-0 NCAA Tourney picks Sweet 16 - Final (2015) - Picked Germany +$700 to win World Cup (2014) - Picked Marcus Mariota +$700 to win Heisman (2014) Handicapping Methodology: Jesse is not a believer in systems, programs or number crunching formulas to handicap games. He is firm in his belief that you aren't playing against the sportsbook, you are playing against the average Joe (other bettors). Jesse is notorious for attacking inflated point spreads, soft lines and totals that are a little out of whack. He also relies on a nearly photographic memory with an uncanny ability to tell you a player's history and stats dating back for decades. Anyone can look up how many touchdowns a guy has scored, Jesse can also tell you about the ones that he almost scored. Money Management: His plays are rated based on a 5-10 star system, and he recommends wagering 0.2 percent of your bankroll per star rating. So a top rated 10* play would represent a bet equal to two percent of a player's bankroll. Signature Plays: AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER: This title is reserved for games with a start time between 12:00 – 4:30 ET. These are popular with action junkies who are dying for the games to get underway. The TERMINATOR: Jesse's signature totals play, the Terminator has established a reputation as one of the most consistent winners in Schule's repertoire. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: These plays represent a game where the stats show a significant trend which isn't reflected in the price. GRIM REAPER BLOWOUT: His signature play reserved for medium to large favorites. High percentage plays for those who don't mind laying chalk. HOT DIGGITY DOG: This is the Iceman's signature underdog play. About as rare as strawberries in December, you'll want to grab these whenever they are available |
