Monday triple Play card has the MLB A.L. Game of the Month and the NBA Playoff Total of the Month both from perfect systems. NHL Comp Play

The NHL Comp play is on Washington at 8:05 eastern. The Caps will try and stave off elimination tonight at home down 3-2 in the series. The Good news is that road teams like Tampa have never won a game 6 in the semi final round if up 3-2 and the visiting team won the first 4 games followed by the host winning game 5. The Caps are 6-1 off 3+ losses and 3-1 when trailing in a series, they are 10-4 vs a team that allowed 2 or less goals and a workman line 25-8 on Mondays. Look for the Caps to put Lightning in a bottle tonight and force game 7. On Monday the 2 headliners plays are the NBA Playoff Total of the Month and the American League Play of the Month, both are backed with undefeated systems from the database. Message to jump on as we look to start off another big week. For the NHL Free Play. Take Washington. RV- GC Sports

Here’s our best bets for the action ahead:

Arizona Diamondbacks @ Milwaukee Brewers
The Diamondbacks offence is still missing and it won’t get easier to find it as they continue this long road trip. Arizona wills tart their series with Milwaukee with both sides sending their ace pitchers to the mound. Milwaukee’s Chase Anderson makes his return to the rotation and will hope to continue his dominance over the D’backs as a result. The 30-year-old is 2-1 with a 1.88 ERA in four career outings against Arizona and will hope to return to the form he showed prior to sitting out the last couple weeks with illness. The visitors are averaging just 3.83 runs per game so far this year and have failed to score more than four runs in their last 10 straight games. Their recent home series with the Brewers saw them average just 2.0 runs per game and we don’t see them managing much more in this series. Zack Greinke has allowed less than two runs in five of his nine starts this season, including a quality start against the Brewers in that previous series where the team emerged 2-1 winners. Our data shows this one finishing up at a combined 6.7 runs and we feel that this total is slightly above where it should be.

Tip: Under 8.5 runs @ $1.86 (Unibet)

Kansas City Royals @ St Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals will look to get back to their best when they host an out-of-sorts Royals outfit at Busch Stadium. Teams are having no problem breaking out the bats against Kansas City recently, with the Royals allowing five or more runs in 10 of their last 12 games. The Cardinals will hope to do just that when they take on Ian Kennedy who is winless in his last seven starts. The 33-year-old is 1-4 with a 4.98 ERA on the year, and those numbers look even worse when comparing them to his career record against St Louis. Kennedy is 3-6 with a 7.41 ERA in nine starts against his opponents in this one. Meanwhile, Miles Mikolas remains unbeaten on the season despite coming off a less than stellar performance by his standards. In his four appearances at home, he is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA. We’re expecting him to keep the Royals hitters in check and we’re happy to back St Louis to cover the run line here given they’re allowing 6.43 runs per game on the road this season. KC is also 17-29 against the run line this season – one of the worst records in the majors, which is largely thanks to inconsistent hitting and a horrible bullpen.

Tip: St Louis Cardinals -1.5 @ $2.02 (Unibet)

NBA Playoffs: Boston Celtics @ Cleveland Cavaliers – Game 4
By Josh Chahal -May 21, 2018
THE Cavaliers finally got contributions across the court as they got themselves back in the series as they took Game 3 in convincing fashion.
Shooters finding their range remains the key to this Cleveland team being able to compete and win games, so it’s no surprise to have seen them run out comfortable winners after shooting at 50% from beyond the arc.
JR Smith, George Hill and Kyle Korver went a combined 9-for-12 from deep – a better total than they managed in the opening two games combined.
What was key for the Cavs was the aggression they showed on offence from the opening tip. They had Boston on the back foot trying to defend the paint and that opened up the space on the perimeter for their shooters to get the looks they want.
Their offensive outburst shouldn’t have come as too much of a surprise given what we previewed before for punters before Game 3.
The Cavs averaged over 100 points per game on their home court and we expect them to continue totalling around that number this series at Quicken Loans Arena.
Boston are now 1-5 on the road these playoffs and if they get forced into another uptempo battle against the Cavs they’ll almost certainly be heading back to Boston with the series tied at 2-2.
One of the keys to this series will be how well Tristan Thompson can continue to defend Al Horford. The Cavs centre held Boston’s All-Star to just seven points in Game 3 – the first time Horford has been held to single-digit scoring since 20 March.
What we do expect in Game 4 is a better offensive output from the Celtics. Brad Stevens will know the adjustments that need to be made, including better ball movement on offence as opposed to settling for contested jumpers.
We’ve been burnt on the Overs twice in the last two games of this series – both times by a single bucket!
It’s only a matter of time before both these offences are able to hit with consistency and our projections have this one finishing at a total of 210.1 points. The Celtics have seen six of their last seven games go Over the points total when coming off a loss – this may seem like a nothing trend but a lot of that has to do with the offensive adjustments that they make.
Horford won’t be held to seven points again, and we will see better production from Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Terry Rozier.

Tip: Over 206.5 points @ $1.92 (Sportsbet) & Cleveland Cavaliers TT o/106.5 points @ $1.87 (Unibet)

Player Props
Jaylen Brown has been terrific these playoffs and aside from his Game 3 slump he’s had no problem scoring on this Cavaliers defence.
His lacklustre output (10 points on 3-for-8 shooting) had a lot to do with his foul trouble throughout.
Brown was limited to just 20 minutes in Game 3 as a result of his early foul trouble – a much lower number than the 35 minutes he got in Game 2 when scoring 23 points.
While his scoring on the road these playoffs has been noticeably lower than at home we feel this is a match up that he can certainly exploit when given the opportunity.
Brad Stevens will look to get him early touches on offence and will want him to be aggressive in getting to the basket.
Neither JR Smith or George Hill are capable of guarding him due to his length and athleticism which will give him a big advantage on this total should he get the minutes he needs.
The 21-year-old is averaging 2.6 made three-pointers per game in his last seven playoff appearances and if he can get to the basket early it will only open up the space for him on the perimeter.
We have him scoring 19.8 points in Game 4 and feel there’s terrific value in taking him to go over his points total as a result.

Tip: Jaylen Brown o/16.5 points @ $1.85 (Sportsbet)

4 Units - #968 St Louis (-1.5 RUNLINE @ -105) Over KC 5/21 *8:15 EST

Ian Kennedy starts for KC who is just struggling anytime the guy takes the hill (7.88 ERA his last 3), he has not had a win since April 7. He is backed up by a bullpen with over a 5 ERA their last 5 games. KC also hits into double plays more than any team in MLB this season, 49 so far, and simply has issues closing out games. St Louis is in a funk themselves and I like them at home in this game as AL takes on NL and KC is 4-11 their last 15 interleague games and I clearly see a 3-4 run win by the home team Cards.

Analysis:
The Play is Mia First 5 innings +1/2 -130. Aok to play this +110 ish, but I prefer the
+1/2-130.

Mia will be ulra motivated after giving away a game yesterday, AND they have an enormous pitching edge, AND the Mets lineup is down considerably right now.

The Fish may well blow this game late again, we are putting it all on the first 5 innings.....

3-Unit Play. #954. Take Philadelphia Phillies -115 over Atlanta Braves (Monday @ 7:05pm est)
We like the fact that Atlanta has scored 18 runs in their last 2 games and are likely in for a let down spot here against the Phillies. You have a Phillies team that scored 1 run in their last game and puts Pivetta on the mound who is rolling right now steamrolling the Orioles and the Giants in his last 2 starts for 6 hits and 1 run in 12 innings including 18 strikeouts and 1 walk in that stretch. He lost to the Braves a few starts ago by a score of 4-1 and given that Folty beat the Phillies a few starts ago, look for the Phillies to get their revenge along with Pivetta to get his revenge and the bats to awaken today. As good as Folty has been, note that he recently gave up 5 walks as well in a start and he can be a bit all over the plate and with an aggressive Phillies lineup we suspect he gets it done today along with the Phillies in a 5-3 type of contest.


3-Unit Play. #705. Take Boston Celtics +7 over Cleveland Cavaliers (Monday @ 8:35pm est)
It means a lot to us to close the NBA Season strong. Hopefully we will post 3 straight winners today and make it a 4-1 Run as there is still quite a bit of basketball left. We look to make it 11 Straight WNBA Winners Tomorrow. After accurately predicting the Cavs to get the job done in Game 3, we are switching sides for Game 4 for a number of different reasons. The first reason is because the Cavs absolutely shot the lights out from 3-point land. They nailed 17/35 for just under 50%. I have a hard time believing that a great X's and O's coach like Brad Stevens lets that play out again. Look for more switches on the perimeter and fewer open 3's for the Cavs players. Korver and Nance will not go 9/9 from the field including 4/4 from 3-point land this time around. Conversely, the Celtics should be much better from beyond the arc. They shot just 27 % and I expect that number to get back to season averages which was 37.7 % - good enough for 2nd in the league. And lastly - a team who got their ass kicked should be pissed off and motivated to bounce back and put in a performance they can be proud of. One player in particular needs to have a much better game for them to do so and that's Al Horford. Horford didn't attempt a shot in the first quarter and contributed only 7 points. I expect him to play a much bigger role and help the Celtics get this cover.

4-Unit Play. Take #010 Washington -130 over Tampa Bay (Monday, May 21st at 8:00 PM ET)

Take Washington on the moneyline as my 4-Unit NHL Smash for Monday night. This pick falls into one of my top NHL systems and Capitals are 6-1 in their last 7 games after 3 or more consecutive losses. This is a very disciplined Capitals team who do not take a lot of penalties and despite being down in this series the Capitals are the better overall team. The Capitals are 71-26 in their last 97 games against an Atlantic opponent and 37-18 in their last 55 home games against the Lightning. Play Washington as they force Game 7 with a gutsy win at home tonight.
