NHL | May 22, 2025 Panthers vs Hurricanes |
Panthers +115 at circa |
Won $115 |
Play Type: Top Premium | ||
After seeing the Panthers lay a beatdown on the Hurricanes in Game 1, we absolutely love this plus-money price on them tonight. We had them handicapped as a small favorite for this Game 2 matchup So, amazing value here. NHL isn’t like the NBA and teams can climb out of a hole in series, so this game isn’t do or die for the Hurricanes quite yet. So they won’t be playing with desperation or anything. The Panthers are much more battle tested in this playoffs and it showed in Game 1. Carolina played two teams that didn’t pose much of a challenge in the Devils and Capitals. Washington looked nothing like the team we was in the regular season in these playoffs. Florida played an incredibly tough Lightning team and then a championship-caliber Leafs squad. Remember, they swept the away first portion of games in that series against the Lightning and we think they have a great chance to do it here. They are 6-2 on the road this postseason and they have won three straight playoff road games after their Game 1 win. |

NBA | May 22, 2025 Wolves vs Thunder |
Wolves +7½ -108 at Heritage |
Lost $108.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
We will give the Wolves a mulligan for Game 1. We still think this team has a great chance in this series or at least to take it all the way to Game 7. Minnesota hasn’t lost much in these playoffs but in their two losses they bounced back to win and cover the next game. The Timberwolves have experience winning in OKC this season and they also have the players to make adjustments and have a much better showing than they did in Game 1. We see more of the first half Wolves here in Game 2 than the second half that let down and suffered a blowout. |

MLB | May 22, 2025 Padres vs Blue Jays |
Padres -124 at circa |
Lost $124.0 |

5 Unit Play. Take #917 San Diego over Toronto (1:07p.m., Thursday, May 22 MLB.tv) The Blue Jays shut out the Padres in the first two games of this series, but I see the visitor salvaging the final game of this series. The Padres have the edge in pitching today with Stephen Kolek on the mound, he is 2-1 on the season with a 2.33 E.R.A. and a 3 to win strikeout to walk ratio. Bowden Francis has been hit hard of late giving up 18 earned runs and 8 home runs in his last 4 starts combined. The Padres have a strong lineup and getting them at this price is too good to pass up on Thursday. |

WNBA | May 22, 2025 Fever vs Dream |
Fever -4½ -105 at circa |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
4 Unit Play. Take #601 Indiana over Atlanta (7:30p.m., Thursday, May 22 Prime Video) We are not getting a ton of value with this line, but I really believe Indiana will bounce back and win this game in Atlanta on Thursday. The Fever rallied late against the Dream on Tuesday taking a lead after trailing for 39 minutes. I see them winning this game by double digits on Thursday and getting to 2-1 on the year. |
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. |
