ML 601 North Carolina (-125) Greekvs 602 Gonzaga triple-dime bet

Analysis: I predicted the Tar Heels would win the national title and I'm certainly not backing down now.


This isn't a fade on Gonzaga, but a play on North Carolina. Both teams have impressive talent and similar offensive skills. The Tar Heels hold the experience edge and rebounding advantage. Rebounding has been a weakness at times for the Zags this season. No team gets more offensive rebounds than North Carolina. Roy Williams has been to six NCAA championship games. This is Mark Few's first.



That can't be underestimated. The last time a West Coast team won the NCAA title was Arizona 20 years ago. The last program to win a championship during its first tile game appearance was Connecticut in 1999.


The Zags are 0-7 versus No. 1 seeds losing by an averaging of 14.4 points.


The Tar Heels also played in a far tougher conference and also had to go through a tougher NCAA Tournament pairing than Gonzaga.

2 Unit Play. Take #952 Washington Nationals -1.5 +100 over Miami Marlins (1:05 PM, Monday, April 3)

Washington closed out their 2016 season by going 13-6 in their last nineteen home games where they faced a right-handed starter and they were an excellent 19-7 in Strasburg's last 26 home starts. The Marlins, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here today as they closed out last year by losing 1-4 in their last five games versus a righty and they were an awful 5-11 in their last sixteen games away from Marlins Park. Throw in the fact that the Nats are a lights out 8-1 in Strasburg's last nine home starts against the Marlins and that they have gone 27-11 in their last 38 home games versus them overall and we'll lay the 1.5 runs here with the Nationals in a game that we have them winning pretty easily in DC on Monday afternoon.

3 Unit Play. Take #953 Atlanta Braves +175 over New York Mets (1:10 PM, Monday, April 3, 2017, ESPN)

The Atlanta Braves will look to open up their 2017 season with a road win when they hit the road to take on the Mets at Citi Field in Queens, NY on Monday afternoon. Julio Teheran (7-10, 3.21 ERA, 1.05 WHIP in 2016) will get the start for the Braves and he will be opposed by Noah Syndergaard (14-9, 2.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP in 2016), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Mets. The Braves closed out their 2016 season going a perfect 5-0 in their last five games where they faced a right-handed starter and they went an excellent 10-1 in their last eleven games versus a NL East Division rival. The Mets, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here today as they went just 1-4 in Syndergaard's last five starts and they lost his last six starts when he got the call in Game #1 of a series. Throw in the fact that the Braves are a perfect 6-0 in their last six trips to Citi Field along with the fact that they won 20 of their last 30 games to close out 2016 and we'll take them at a nice underdog price to get the road win in New York on Monday afternoon.

4 Unit Play. Take #959/960 Philadelphia Phillies vs Cincinnati Reds Over 8.5 -105 (4:05 PM, Monday, April 3)

Two teams that ended the 2016 season trending to the over will meet when the Philadelphia Phillies hit the road to take on the Reds at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, OH on Monday afternoon. Jeremy Hellickson (12-10, 3.71 ERA, 1.15 WHIP in 2016) will get the start for the Phillies and he will be opposed by Scott Feldman (7-4, 3.97 ERA, 1.38 WHIP in 2016), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Reds. The Phillies ended their 2016 season on a 6-1 run to the over in their last seven road games and they went an excellent 5-2 to the over in Hellickson's last seven starts. The Reds were an over team as well last year in the spot they are in here today as they went up and over the number in their last six home games versus a right-handed starter and they were 4-1 to the over in their last five Game #1's of a series. Throw in the fact that these two teams have gone 7-3 to the over in their last ten head to head meetings at GABP in addition to going 12-5 to the over in their last seventeen overall and that's where we'll have our play as we expect both starters to get hit around a bit in Cincinnati on Monday afternoon.

2 Unit Play. Take #961 Detroit Tigers -120 over Chicago White Sox (4:05 PM, Monday, April 3)

The Tigers closed out their 2016 season by going 5-1 in their last six road games where they faced a left-handed starter and they were an excellent 7-3 in their last ten games where they went up against an AL Central Division rival. The White Sox, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here today as they ended their 2016 by going 2-8 in their last ten games where they faced a pitcher with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower and they went an awful 5-11 in Jose Quintana's last sixteen starts versus a team from the AL Central. Throw in the fact that the Tigers have gone 8-3 in Verlander's last eleven starts at Guaranteed Rate Field along with the fact that he is 20-6 in his last 26 starts versus the White Sox overall and we'll lay the small price here with the Tigers to get the Opening Day road win in Chicago on Monday afternoon.

4 Unit Play. Take #964 Houston Astros -140 over Seattle Mariners (8:05 PM, Monday, April 3)

The Houston Astros will look for an Opening Day home win when they take on the Seattle Mariners at Minute Maid Park in Houston, TX on Monday night. Dallas Keuchel (9-12, 4.55 ERA, 1.27 WHIP in 2016) will get the start for the Astros and he will be opposed by Felix Hernandez (11-8, 3.82 ERA, 1.32 WHIP in 2016), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Mariners. The Astros closed out their 2016 season going 4-1 in Keuchel's last five starts where he faced an AL West Division rival and they are a lights out 26-8 in his last 34 home starts over the last few seasons. The Mariners, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they went just 1-4 in their last five road games when facing a left-handed starter at the end of last season and they are an awful 4-9 in their last thirteen head to head meetings with the Astros. Throw in the fact that Seattle has also struggled against the Astros with King Felix on the hill, going just 2-5 against them in his last seven starts and we'll lay the small price with the Stros here to get the home win in Houston on Monday night.

4 Unit Play. Take #969 Cleveland Indians -115 over Texas Rangers (7:05 PM, Monday, April 3, ESPN)

The Cleveland Indians will look to open their 2017 season with a road win when they travel to take on the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park in Arlington, TX on Monday night. Corey Kluber (18-9, 3.14 ERA, 1.06 WHIP in 2016) will get the start for the Indians and he will be opposed by Yu Darvish (7-5, 3.41 ERA, 1.12 WHIP in 2016), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Rangers. Cleveland closed out their 2016 season going 8-1 in their last nine games where they faced a right-handed starter and they are an excellent 20-7 in Kluber's last 27 starts. The Rangers, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they went 0-4 at home to end last season and they lost their last five games overall to bring a close to their year. Throw in the fact that the Indians went 20-8 in their last 28 games when facing a righty and we'll take them at the pickem or so price here as they look for their first win in their AL Championship defending season in Texas on Monday night.

4 Unit Play. Take #971 Los Angeles Angels -115 over Oakland A's (10:05 PM, Monday, April 3, ESPN)

The Los Angeles Angles will look to open their 2017 season with a road when they head north to take on the A's at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, CA on Monday night. Ricky Nolasco (8-14, 4.42 ERA, 1.25 WHIP in 2016) will get the start for the Angels and he will be opposed by Kendall Graveman (10-11, 4.11 ERA, 1.31 WHIP in 2016), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the A's. The Angels closed out their 2016 season by going 4-1 in their last five road games and they won five of their last six games versus an AL West Division rival. The A's, on the hand, struggled last year in the spot they are in here tonight as they lost 23 of their last 30 games when facing a team from the AL West and they were an awful 1-8 in their last nine home games. Throw in the fact that Los Angeles has gone 8-3 in their last eleven trips to Oakland and we'll take them at the pickem or so price to get the road win in the Bay Area on Monday night.

1-Unit Play. Take #959 Philadelphia (+100) over Cincinnati (4 p.m., Monday, April 3)

I know that Jeremy Hellickson is nothing to get excited about. But I think it is ridiculous that Scott Feldman is an Opening Day starter for the Reds. That just goes to show how bad this Cincinnati pitching staff is. I think the Reds are going to be one of the worst teams in baseball this year and we aren't going to get many chances to bet against them when they are in the favorite's role. We'll take what we can get.

5-Unit Play. Take #961 Detroit (-120) over Chicago White Sox (4 p.m., Monday, April 3)

Everything in this game points to the Tigers. I think that Chicago is going to be horrific this season. They traded away two of their best players, Chris Sale and Adam Eaton, this offseason, and this White Sox team is full bore into its rebuilding phases. With the Cubs winning World Series across the city there can't be any excitement around this squad or their home opener. The Tigers are going with Justin Verlander, who probably could've won the Cy Young last year and dominated in the second half of the season. Verlander has owned the White Sox, going 20-6 in his last 26 starts against them, and he is 8-3 in his last 11 starts in Chicago. Detroit's lineup is healthy right now and they are ready to get this season going. This team feasts on left-handed pitching and they have had some success against Jose Quintana, who didn't get a lot of work this spring. I just think the Tigers are the must better team here, with the better lineup, and I will take Verlander to continue his success over the Sox at this price.

2-Unit Play. Take #955 Colorado (-105) over Milwaukee (2 p.m., Monday, April 3)

Junior Guerra has been pretty bad this spring, giving up 18 runs and 23 hits in just 17 innings of work. He had just nine strikeouts to seven walks as well. This is a guy that only has 20 career starts in his career. So yes, he had a great season in 2016 while posting a 2.81 ERA. But is this guy for real? We will find out against an absolutely stacked Rockies lineup. Jon Gray has been sharp this preseason, posting 19 strikeouts to just four walks while giving up just seven runs in 15 innings. Milwaukee won five of six in this series last year. But I don't see that holding up this year. The Rockies are a team with a lot of buzz this year and I think that they will be ready for a fast start. That should mean a win here.

1-Unit Play. Take #967 Kansas City (+100) over Minnesota (4 p.m., Monday, April 3)

The Royals are 36-15 in their last 51 games against the Twins and 25-10 in their last 35 games in Minnesota. Danny Duffy has had a lot success against Minnesota, going 9-2 in his last 11 starts against the Twins and 4-1 in his last five road starts against them. Ervin Santana is 0-7 in his last seven starts against the Royals. Add all that up and we will take this price on the better team.

1-Unit Play. Take #972 Oakland (+100) over L.A. Angels (10 p.m., Monday, April 3)

It is laughable that Ricky Nolasco is getting an Opening Day start. I know that he improved by leaps and bounds last year when he got to LA. But this is still a guy that has posted 5.38, 6.75 and 4.42 ERAS over the last three seasons. I have no idea why he is favored on the road here. I think that the A's are a little better than they are being credit for. And I think that they are undervalued here as a home dog against Nolasco.

2-Unit Play. Take #969 Cleveland (-115) over Texas (7 p.m., Monday, April 3)

I will back the defending A.L. champions here. This is a great price on former Cy Young winner Corey Kluber! I will probably not get to bet him as an underdog the rest of this year. Cleveland has improved its team this offseason, bringing in Edwin Encarnacion, and I expect a fast start from them in this one. The Indians are 20-7 in Kluber's last 27 starts and the Indians are 48-22 in their last 70 Game 1's. The Rangers could be headed for a disappointing season. And I think it starts with a loss in the home opener. Take Cleveland.

2-Unit Play. Take #966 Baltimore (-125) over Toronto (3 p.m., Monday, April 3)

AND

2-Unit Play. Take #966 Baltimore (-1.5, +160) over Toronto (3 p.m., Monday, April 3)

I will go with the Orioles here. This is a big rivalry game in the East. There was a lot of bad blood this offseason between these two teams. The Orioles tried to sign Jose Bautista but were unsuccessful and then spurned him. The Orioles will want to make a statement in this one. Kevin Gausman has had good stuff this spring. I think it will translate to success early in the season. The Orioles finished last year 7-1 in Gausman's last eight home starts. And going back further the Orioles are 44-20 in their last 64 home games against a right-handed starter. I think the Orioles jump all over the Blue Jays in this one.
