6/13 - 75 Dime - Indiana Pacers - Loss
Just a week from hell for Big Mike.
How Indiana didn't at least cover last night is one of the unsolvable mysteries of gambling. Instead of complaining, I am just going to take it like a man and move forward.

Big Mike's Tompkin's Rating System
My focus, like any smart strategist, is on long-term success and building consistent profit over time.
As a seasoned analyst and former player, I like to keep things straightforward. That's why I developed the Yardage Rating System. It’s simple, intuitive, and keeps plays in perspective, just like measuring progress on the field.
At the top of my scale is the 100-yard play. This is my strongest recommendation, the kind of insight that doesn’t come along every day, but can make a significant impact when it does.
Now I realize listing a play in terms of "yards" is somewhat confusing, although I think conceptually it so much simpler that any "star" system that others use. So, for sake of clarity, I will bow down to pressure and substitute the word "dimes" for "yards" as so many other handicappers do at this site.
Back to my system....
When I have smaller releases, like 50- or 75-yard plays, they shouldn’t be overlooked. Their value is all about context, how I’m reading the game at that moment in relation to the current state of our bankroll.
Remember, it’s always about perspective. Each play has its place. Understanding that is key to making the most of my analysis.
Who is "Big Mike" Tompkins?
I've been in and around sports my entire life. Played three years of college football at the FCS level as a defensive lineman. At 6-7, 270 you know why they called me "Big Mike." Played basketball, too. After graduation, I was invited to the Buffalo Bills training camp, but an injury ended those dreams. I did, however, spend a few years playing Arena Football before I called it a career.
Bottom Line: I PLAYED the game. I KNOW the game.
With years of experience on the field and behind the scenes, I bring you an unmatched blend of knowledge and expert analysis. Understanding game strategies provides me insight and an edge when handicapping. I offer daily analysis that goes beyond the numbers.
Today's Complimentary Play
Yesterday the Braves looked more like the Braves of yore with 12 runs plated in a game that saw 16 combined runs between the clubs.
That Over moved the Rockies to a 4-0-1 run in the Over column for their last 5 games, while it pushed the Braves to 3-1 Over the total in their last 4 games played.
Chase Dollander could only complete 3 innings in his last trip to the mound and allowed 5 runs in that start. That upped his ERA to a robust 7.32 over his last 5 efforts.
Spencer Strider's ERA is over 5 for his last 5 starts suggesting his has not fully returned from the Tommy John surgery that shut him down all of last season.
We don't need a lot of runs in this one, so play the Over based on the starting pitchers recent struggles.
