Milwaukee Bucks vs. Detroit Pistons Preview and Predictions 04-22-2019 in NBA

Blake Griffin made his Detroit Pistons playoff debut in Game 3 on Saturday, but it didn't make much difference in the final result. The Pistons will try to avoid being swept in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series when they host the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4 on Monday.

The Bucks breezed to double-digit wins at home in the first two games of the series and refused to take their foot off the gas on the road, cruising out to a 22-point lead through three quarters and finishing with a 119-103 victory. "We might be the No. 1 seed and the best team in the NBA, but at the end of the day we haven't won a playoff series in a while and we're hungry," Milwaukee superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo told reporters. "I think everybody's hungry. It starts from our coach. It starts from the leader setting the tone. We're just going to keep fighting, we're going to keep playing hard and try to win as many games as possible." The Pistons shot 38.5 percent from the floor in the loss and failed to capitalize on the emotion with Griffin returning and the fans in the arena on their side. "We made some uncharacteristic mistakes," Detroit coach Dwane Casey told reporters. "That's what the playoffs are about - getting through that, understanding time-score-situation. We had situations where we'd make a mistake or miss a shot, now we go down to the defensive end and not carry out our assignments."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT, FS Detroit

ABOUT THE BUCKS: Milwaukee only got 14 points on 5-of-13 shooting in 28 minutes from Antetokounmpo in Game 3 but still breezed with seven scorers in double figures. "They can't sleep on anyone," center Brook Lopez, who scored 19 points and blocks five shots on Saturday, told reporters. "Our depth is a huge boon for us, it's a huge bonus we have. We just got to keep going to that. We've been putting trust in a lot of different people all season long and guys have been showing why we've been doing that." Khris Middleton scored a team-high 20 points while Ersan Ilyasova broke out with 15 points off the bench.

ABOUT THE PISTONS: Center Andre Drummond shot 53.3 percent from the field in the regular season but stumbled to 5-of-14 in Game 3. "He missed some tough ones," Griffin told reporters of Drummond. "He might have just rushed a few here and there. We've leaned on the big fella all season long and he's a big reason why we're in the playoffs. It's the playoffs. It's basketball. It'll happen to me. It'll happen to everybody on the other team. It'll happen to everybody on our team at some point. As teammates, we're there to pick each other up and help guys out." Griffin played with a brace on his left knee and logged 31 minutes but struggled to keep pace in transition.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Pistons are enduring a 13-game postseason losing streak.

2. Milwaukee PF Nikola Mirotic went 3-of-5 from 3-point range on Saturday after struggling to 0-of-6 in the first two games.

3. Detroit SG Luke Kennard averaged 20 points in the first two games but was held to nine in Game 3.

PREDICTION: Bucks 122, Pistons 107

Houston Rockets vs. Utah Jazz Preview and Predictions 04-22-2019 in NBA

The Utah Jazz did about as well as any team can possibly do defensively against James Harden in Game 3 and still couldn't come away with a victory. The Jazz will try to avoid a four-game sweep of the Western Conference series when they host Harden and the fourth-seeded Houston Rockets in Game 4 on Monday.

Harden missed his first 15 field-goal attempts and finished 3-of-20 from the floor but came through with a pair of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and had no trouble getting to the free-throw line while finishing with 22 points in the 104-101 victory. "Keep shooting, keep being aggressive," Harden told reporters. "0-of-15, 14-of-15, 15-of-15, my job is to go out there and produce and be aggressive and in attack mode. Nothing changes. ... I didn't shoot the ball well, and we still won. Guys stepped up major tonight, and that's what we're going to need." Utah only held a slim advantage for most of the first three quarters despite Harden's off night and realize it missed an opportunity. "We didn't capitalize as much as we needed to, especially during a stretch there in the third quarter where I thought we had a chance to build a little bit of a lead," Jazz coach Quin Snyder told reporters. "We got some looks that we had to take, and they didn't fall."

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, TNT, AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston), AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Utah)

ABOUT THE ROCKETS: Chris Paul scored 18 points, Clint Capela recorded a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds and P.J. Tucker scored the last of his 12 points at the free-throw line to seal the win on Saturday. Harden scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and added 10 assists and six steals in the victory. "They played him tough, there's no doubt about it," Houston coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters of Harden. "They got into him, and they did what they were supposed to do, but James normally figures that stuff out anyway. So, he just didn't have a great night - and it happens."

ABOUT THE JAZZ: Utah star guard Donovan Mitchell scored a series-high 34 points in Game 3 but missed a wide-open look at a 3-pointer that would have tied the game with under 10 seconds left and missed five of his 17 free-throw attempts. "We had the right mindset and were aggressive, but we've got to capitalize," Mitchell told reporters. "You can't give a team like this multiple opportunities. I wouldn't say it all came down to (missed free throws), but it definitely would've helped." Jazz center Rudy Gobert turned in his best defensive performance of the series in the Game 3 loss, blocking seven shots after managing a total of one block in the first two contests.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Jazz SF Joe Ingles is 4-of-17 from 3-point range in the series.

2. Houston hasn't swept a playoff series since taking three straight from the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the 1997 postseason.

3. Utah PF Jae Crowder made his first start of the series in Game 3 and finished with five points in 24 minutes.

PREDICTION: Jazz 106, Rockets 98

Washington Capitals vs. Carolina Hurricanes Preview and Predictions 04-22-2019 in NHL

The Washington Capitals answered consecutive defeats at PNC Arena with a resounding victory at home to once again wrest away control of their Eastern Conference first-round series. The Capitals return to Raleigh (N.C.) aiming to eliminate the upstart Carolina Hurricanes on Monday when the Metropolitan Division rivals play Game 6 of their series.

"Obviously, I thought that was a pretty great response (after losing Games 3 and 4). We weren't satisfied with the games in Carolina," forward Nicklas Backstrom said after his four-point performance (two goals, two assists) powered Washington to a 6-0 romp in Game 5 on Saturday. The 31-year-old Swede matched last season's entire playoff goal total with five in this series and has nine in his last 10 games overall. While Backstrom and the Capitals might be inclined to reflect fondly on Saturday's game, the same isn't true for a Carolina club that has zero margin for error in its first playoff series since 2009. "Park it. It stunk," Hurricanes captain Justin Williams said. "There's ups and downs, a lot of momentum swings in playoff series, and we've got to swing it back in our direction in Game 6."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, TVAS, FS Carolinas, NBCS Washington

ABOUT THE CAPITALS: Although captain Alex Ovechkin collected one goal and two assists in Game 5, he also made an impact on Saturday's game by stepping up his physical play with a season-high 11 hits. Devante Smith-Pelly, who is known for his physicality, finished with a plus-1 rating and one shot on goal in 10:43 of ice time during his first game since being recalled from Hershey of the American Hockey League. "Everyone did good job on the forecheck, making their (defensemen) turn and making it hard for them to get out on breakouts, so got to keep doing that if we're going to be successful," the 26-year-old Smith-Pelly said.

ABOUT THE HURRICANES: Rookie Andrei Svechnikov hopes to draw back in the lineup after sitting out the last two contests following his ill-fated fight with Ovechkin in the first period of Game 3. "I always recover so quickly, and we'll see. I hope I'm going to play next game," said the 19-year-old Russian, who may get his wish after Carolina assigned fellow forward Aleksi Saarella to Charlotte of the American Hockey League on Sunday morning. The Hurricanes' power play could benefit from some conditioning, as it went 0-for-5 in Game 5 and showed so little in terms of potential that Jordan Staal labeled it "garbage" while Williams told reporters that the team "stunk it up" with the man advantage.

OVERTIME

1. Carolina G Petr Mrazek looks to rebound from a diastrous six-goal performance when he returns to Raleigh, where he has turned aside 48 of 49 shots in the series.

2. Washington RW T.J. Oshie is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on his broken collarbone, the team announced Sunday.

3. Hurricanes D Jaccob Slavin recorded five assists in his previous three contests before the team was shut out in Game 5.

PREDICTION: Capitals 4, Hurricanes 1

Nashville Predators vs. Dallas Stars Preview and Predictions 04-22-2019 in NHL

The top team in each conference already has been ushered out of the opening round of the playoffs and the No. 2 seed in the West is trying to avoid a similar fate in its first-round series. The Central Division champion Nashville Predators are wobbly after suffering back-to-back losses and need a victory in Game 6 at the Dallas Stars on Monday night to stave off elimination.

The Predators have won three times in Dallas this season, including a 3-2 victory in Game 3, but they have been burned for 10 goals in the past two defeats. "We've played a lot of playoff games, we've been put in these situations and positions before," Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said after Saturday's 5-3 setback at home. "They've answered the bell, they'll answer the bell in Game 6 and we'll bring it back here - but this group's got to go and do it." The Stars, in the playoffs for only the third time in 11 seasons, have scored at least five goals in consecutive games for the first time this season. "I think we keep getting better, and we have to keep getting better," Dallas coach Jim Montgomery said. "The next one's the hardest one because it's the potential to end someone's season. That's the challenge in front of us now."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, CNBC, Sportsnet1, TVAS2, FS Tennessee (Nashville), FS Southwest (Dallas)

ABOUT THE PREDATORS: The good news for Nashville: Rocco Grimaldi, despite being a Game 1 scratch, has scored in three of his four games. The bad news: The 5-foot-6 Grimaldi leads the team in goals while the No. 1 line of Filip Forsberg, Ryan Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson has combined for four points in the series after amassing 76 goals during the regular season -- including a team-high 34 by Arvidsson, who has been held off the scoresheet by Dallas. "The bottom line is we're not playing good enough and we need to raise our level - everybody," goaltender Pekka Rinne said.

ABOUT THE STARS: While Dallas rode the stellar goaltending of Ben Bishop and a defense that permitted the second-fewest goals during the regular season to the first wild card, the top line of Tyler Seguin, captain Jamie Benn and Alexander Radulov has tilted the momentum. The trio accounted for seven of its 16 points and 16 shots on goal in Game 5 while matched up against Nashville's No. 1 unit. "Our line's all about work," Seguin said. "It's about will. Obviously, we have the skill and the talent there. But when we're working hard, we're happy to go up against anybody."

OVERTIME

1. Bishop, named a Vezina Trophy finalist on Saturday, has not allowed more than three goals in his last 17 appearances.

2. Arvidsson did not go more than three games in a row without a point during the regular season.

3. Benn had three assists in Game 5 to take over the team lead with six points.

Looking Ahead

Monday, April 22

The Twins and Astros tangle at Minute Maid Park in Houston to open a new set. The Twins have won four of their past five games, and they sit atop the AL Central with a plus-20 run differential. They have won four of thep ast five on the road, too, but that will be put to the test with RHP Jake Odorizzi on the bump. Minnesota has won just one of Odorizzi's past nine road outings, and they're 1-10 in the past 11 road contests against teams with a winning record. They're also 0-5 in the past five vs. AL West foes. The Astros have won 19 of the past 26 at home, and they're 6-1 in Brad Peacock's past seven outings, and 4-1 in his past five against winning teams, too. The Twins have won just three of the past 15 meetings overall, and they're 0-4 in the past four at the Juice Box. The under is also 4-1 in the past five in Houston, and 6-2 in the past eight meetings overall in this series.

It's a matchup of Rangers LHP Mike Minor and Athletics RHP Chris Bassitt in Oakland. The Rangers streak into this one with victories in six of their past seven games against divisional foes, and they're 5-1 in the past six outings against right-handed starting pitching. They're also 6-1 in Minor's past seven inside the division, while going 8-2 in his past 10 outings against teams with a losing overall record. The A's are 7-1 in their past eight vs. LHP, and 5-0 in the past five at home against southpaws. However, while they're 4-0 in Bassitt's past four starts, they're just 2-5 in his past seven at home and 2-5 in his past seven against winning teams, too. This series has been tilted in Oakland's favor recently, as the Rangers are just 2-10 in the past 12 meetings overall, and 5-16 in their past 21 trips to Oakland. The over has cashed in five straight meetings in this series, too.

Weather Report

In New York, the Mets and Phillies face a 40 percent or greater chance of rain through 10 p.m. ET. They might get this one in after a lengthy delay. For the Tigers-Red Sox game in Boston, there is a 70 percent chance of rain throughout the day, so you can expect a postponement in this one. If they do play, the wind is blowing in 11-14 mph from center field to home plate. The Brewers and Cardinals will see a strong breeze at 10-13 mph to left field, so watch the over.


Tuesday, April 23

The Giants open an interleague road series against the Blue Jays, and they have managed just four wins in 13 road contests, while posting a minus-13 run differential overall. The Jays have won a season-high four in a row, and they have turned things around with a plus-7 run differential. San Francisco has posted a poor 3-8 in the past 11 against AL East foes, while going 2-6 in the past eight interleague games against a right-handed starter. They're also 2-5 in the past seven interleague road games overall. In addition, they're 0-6 in the past six road outings by RHP Jeff Samardzija, and 2-9 in his past 11 starts overall. The Jays are also 12-4 in their past 16 home interleague games, and 11-5 in the past 15 interleague home outings vs. RHP. However, they're 0-4 in RHP Trent Thornton's past four starts.

The Phillies and Mets square off on Tuesday with RHP Zach Eflin and RHP Zack Wheeler battling it out for Zach/Zack bragging rights. The Phils have won just one of Eflin's past nine road outings, although they're 8-3 in his past 11 against teams with a winnin record. The Mets are 12-5 in Wheeler's past 17 starts overall, while going 6-1 in his past seven against teams with a winning record, and 8-3 in his past 11 outings inside the division. The Mets are also 6-2 in his past eight home outings, too. The over has cashed in six of Wheeler's past eight starts agaisnt the Phils, who are just 3-7 in their past 10 battles at Citi Field.

The high-flying Mariners, who have a plus-32 run differential, which is second-best in the AL. The M's also enter 9-1 in the past 10 road games, and 8-2 in the past 10 games vs. LHP. However, Seattle enters 0-7 in the past seven against winning teams and 0-5 in their past five interleague games. The Padres have managed a 1-6 record in the past seven overall, and 1-6 in the past seven vs. RHP. San Diego has won four in a row in this interleague series, however, with the over 6-2-1 in the past nine battles.

Weather Report

In Cleveland, the Marlins and Indians will face a stiff wind blowing out 15-18 mph to the right-center field power alley. The winds will be blowing from first to third base for the Braves-Reds battle. In the Steel City, the Diamondbacks and Pirates will be dealing with some light rain. If they do play, they will see a 10-13 mph wind blowing out to the left-center field power alley. Those are the only weather trouble sports, however.

#4 DEVINE DENTAL (ML=4/1)
#3 GURT BOYS (ML=7/2)
#1 WONDERFULLY TUNED (ML=5/1)
#8 EVERY STEP (ML=6/1)


DEVINE DENTAL - This speedball should benefit from this race's shorter distance. Gelding looks like the lone speed here. He may turn the race into a procession. This horse has shown the capability to win at different racing venues. Making the move from Aqueduct for today's event, I have to believe he's ready to run. GURT BOYS - I like to see consistency in a racehorse. Look at this gelding's PPs. Almost always in the money. After a pair of sprints, he's routing today, which is probably what this gelding wants to do. WONDERFULLY TUNED - The jock/handler duo of Sanchez and Pino has a strong ROI together. I like to see fast drills. This horse's last one was very good. Second fastest of the day. Racing over a familiar track, where he has won multiple times before, I have to put this one at the top of my list of contenders. EVERY STEP - This gelding is the longer price of the 'split' entry from the barn of Taylor.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 D T GOODIE (ML=2/1),

D T GOODIE - This mount hasn't been on the track since March 25th. Not even any works.

# 1 TOO KOOL TO RETURN 5/2

# 5 ROWDY H RETURN 15/1

# 8 DASHINGLY FAST 20/1

I think about TOO KOOL TO RETURN here. Ought to be considered as Riojas has been among the most competitive trainers with two-year olds. Look for a decent pace improvement from this horse who enters on Lasix today. Horses managed by this trainer are a profitable proposition in baby races. ROWDY H RETURN - This conditioner is reliable with starters in baby races. Calderon's ROI over the last month automatically makes this pony a sharp contender. Can't overlook the connections here, a 26 winning percentage, one of the top at getting into the winner's circle. DASHINGLY FAST - This field gives this handler an edge with a quite good two year old.

#7 PURPLE FLOWERS (ML=4/1)
#6 MY BELLE MICHELLE (ML=9/2)


PURPLE FLOWERS - Entered at the same class level and distance of her last win, which is a big plus for this mare. My expertise says this is the only stalker in the race. Forgive the off the board finish on the off track last out. Under better track conditions, has a shot in this event. This mare should be at the peak of fitness, this far into her form cycle. MY BELLE MICHELLE - Multiple wins over the surface right here at Mahoning Valley Race Course. Maybe, another trip to the winner's circle right here in this race. This mare is tops in earnings per race entered. Take a long look at this animal in the saddling enclosure.

Vulnerable Contenders: #9 SHEZA FINE JUSTICE (ML=5/2), #2 EVEN ON THE RUN (ML=3/1), #3 JETTIN PEGASUS (ML=8/1),

SHEZA FINE JUSTICE - In any affair of 6 furlongs, I like to bet on a contender that has been on the board in short distance events recently. EVEN ON THE RUN - You always think this horse has a shot to be victorious, but she falls short often. This filly registered a speed rating in her last event which probably isn't good enough in today's event. JETTIN PEGASUS - Tough for anyone who saw this steed in her last event to wager on her this time around. Speed figures tell a story of deteriorating physical condition.

NHL Stanley Cup playoffs best bets and prop predictions: Rock this first-period prop like a Hurricane
Monty Andrews

Four teams have reached the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and two more could join the party Monday night as the Washington Capitals and Dallas Stars look to close out their respective series.

The defending Stanley Cup-champion Capitals try to snap to a home-dominant series trend at PNC Arena, while the Stars and Predators appear headed for yet another low-scoring affair. Here are the top NHL trends and best bets for Monday's Stanley Cup playoffs odds:

WASHINGTON CAPITALS AT CAROLINA HURRICANES

Moneyline Odds: Washington -105/Carolina -115
Over/Under: 5.5 goals
Series Price: Washington leads 3-2 (Capitals -556/Hurricanes +330)
Start Time: 7 p.m. ET, PNC Arena, Raleigh

Home dominance has permeated this first-round series, with the host team winning all five games. And that one-sidedness has been equally prevalent in the opening period, with the home team carrying a lead through the first 20 minutes in every game so far. That streak goes back a lot longer than the playoffs. The home team has been leading or tied after one period in 12 straight meetings and 18 of the past 19 overall. Bettors should roll with the Carolina first-period moneyline no push (+175) or the tie (+160).

As for player props, we're recommending a fade here rather than a bet choice, only because this one is generally popular. Alex Ovechkin should see plenty of action in the goal-scorer prop market after leading the NHL with 51 tallies this past season. But his performance at PNC Arena over the years leaves much to be desired. He has just two goals in his previous 14 visits to Raleigh – and none in this series – making him a strong fade candidate as the Capitals look to advance.


NASHVILLE PREDATORS AT DALLAS STARS

Moneyline Odds: Nashville -105/Dallas -115
Over/Under: 5 goals
Series Price: Dallas leads 3-2 (Stars -357/Predators +235)
Start Time: 8:30 p.m. ET, American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas

Oddsmakers aren't prepared to move this total despite the fact that the teams have combined for 14 goals over their past two games, and that should lead to plenty of action on the Over. The Stars and Predators have opened things up of late, combining for multiple goals in six of their previous eight periods of play. You could opt for the safe alternate total play and take Over 4.5 at -175 or you can roll with the standard Over 5 that pays out at +105, but beware the fun-pummeling push.

As for a live goal-scorer underdog, it might be worth considering Mats Zuccarello. The 31 year old had just 12 goals during the regular season, but has scored three times in the first five games of this series. He's fifth among Dallas forwards in average ice time, and has one of the Stars' four power-play goals in the best-of-seven. Choosing a successful goal prop is a crapshoot, but at +375, you could do worse than taking the guy ranked second on his team in postseason goal scoring.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Jake Arrieta, Philadelphia Phillies (3-1, 2.25 ERA, $152): Four starts into 2019 and it looks like Arrieta might have rediscovered his form with the Cubs from a few years ago. Arrieta has been a workhorse for the Phillies, throwing 213 pitches over 15 innings in his last two starts, and giving up just two runs in that span. Arrieta has begun to rely more on his changeup, adding another option to an arsenal that already includes a sinker, slider and curveball.

Tonight Arrieta and the Phillies will be facing off against Steven Matz and the New York Mets in a pick'em game.

SLUMPING

Chris Sale, Boston Red Sox (0-4, 8.50 ERA, -$726): After inking a $145 million extension last month, Sale has gone from ace to absolute disaster. Sale's WHIP is at 1.56 and opposing batters are hitting .311 against him this year, almost 100 points higher than his career average of .219. Sale's four-seam fastball which made batters miss for more than half a decade, has lost velocity. It used to be in the 95-97 mph range and this season has been between 91-92, a world of difference that is allowing batters to catch up to it.

After shoulder problems in 2018, it's possible that the left-hander is still on the mend. Regardless of the reason he needs to turn things around and he'll get a good chance to do so today against a Detroit Tigers lineup batting just .218.


3 STRIKES

ADVANTAGE IN APRIL

In an article we wrote at the beginning of the month, we featured Jeremy Hellickson as one of the best pitchers to bet on in April. After a rough season debut in relief, he's pitched a pair of gems as a starter, giving up just two runs over 11.2 innings in those two games. Hellickson takes the mound for Washington tonight against the Rockies. He might only get a couple more starts in April, so now might be a good time to put a few dollars down on him.

Also consider the Under 11 for the game in Colorado, considering the inflated totals at Coors Field and the tendency for games played there to lean towards the Under.

SURF AND TURF IN TAMPA BAY

As if today's matchup between the 7-15 Kansas City Royals and the 14-8 Tampa Bay Rays couldn't get any more one-sided, the surface at Tropicana Field provides yet another betting edge for the -185 home faves.

The Rays are 54-25 in their last 79 games on astroturf, while the Royals are 0-7 in their previous seven games on astroturf. Kansas City is also 0-8 in the last eight games of the head-to-head series.

HOW YOU DOIN'?

Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo has been on a tear recently, batting .478 over his last six games with four homers and 11 RBI. Tonight, Gallo and Texas will go up against Oakland A's right-hander Chris Bassitt who will be making his season debut. Gallo has -125 odds to get a hit today and +190 odds to drill a homerun.

Monday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game 4 – Bucks (-12 ½, 219 ½) at Pistons – 8:05 PM EST – TNT
Milwaukee leads series, 3-0

The Celtics are waiting in the wings for the Bucks in the second round of the playoffs after Boston swept Indiana in four games. Milwaukee is one victory away from a playoff rematch with Boston in a series that went the distance in 2018 and won by the Celtics. However, the top-seeded Bucks have to suffer through one more game with the Pistons, as Milwaukee has won and covered in each of the first three games by double-digits.

The first two contests in Milwaukee were no doubt blowouts as the Bucks cashed as 15-point favorites each time in 35 and 21-point routs. In Game 3 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Pistons’ star Blake Griffin returned to the lineup after missing the first two losses with a lingering knee injury. Griffin led the Pistons with 27 points, but Milwaukee cruised past Detroit, 119-103 for its seventh win over the Pistons this season.

Seven different Bucks posted double-figures in the Game 3 win as Khris Middleton put up 20 points, while Eric Bledsoe and Brook Lopez each scored 19 points to help Milwaukee cash as 9 ½-point favorites. The Bucks improved to 6-0-1 ATS this season against Detroit, while six of the seven wins have come by 10 points or more.

Milwaukee snapped a six-game road playoff losing streak in Saturday’s victory, as the Bucks picked up their first away postseason win since Game 1 of the 2017 first round series against the Raptors. The Pistons had won 11 consecutive games at Little Caesars Arena from February 4 through March 30, but Detroit is currently on a 1-3 run at home the last four opportunities.


Game 4 – Rockets (-3, 214 ½) at Jazz – 10:35 PM EST – TNT
Houston leads series, 3-0

How well are things going for the Rockets? Last season’s MVP James Harden missed his first 15 shots from the floor in Game 3 at Utah, but the Rockets still managed a 104-101 victory to grab a 3-0 series advantage. Houston and Golden State are on the verge of meeting once again in the postseason after last season’s epic seven-game set won by the Warriors, but the Rockets need one more victory to move forward.

Rewinding to Saturday’s Game 3 in Salt Lake City, in spite of Harden’s horrendous start from the floor, he finished with 22 points and 10 assists on 3-of-20 shooting. All five Rockets’ starters scored in double-figures as Chris Paul posted 18 points, while P.J. Tucker and Clint Capela each compiled a double-double. The only offensive firepower from the Jazz came courtesy of Donovan Mitchell, who scored 34 points, but also struggled shooting by hitting 9-of-27 attempts.

Utah captured the first two meetings in the regular season, but Houston won the final two matchups before taking the opening three games of this series. Dating back to the start of the 2017-18 season, the Rockets have won 13 of the last 16 meetings with the Jazz, including a 6-1 mark at Vivint Smart Home Arena.

Chris David expected Houston to sweep Utah in four games and he’s sticking with that angle on Monday. He explained, “After closing as short ‘dogs on Saturday, the Rockets go from hunter to hunted in this game and will be laying as road favorites. We saw the same situation happen yesterday with Boston as the Celtics cashed as an underdog in Game 3 on Friday before sealing the series in Game 4. While homecourt is a big factor in the NBA, talent wins out and we’ve seen that so far in this year’s playoffs. Road favorites are 7-0 straight up and 5-2 against the spread in the postseason with the Warriors and Raptors just missing covers by a couple points over the weekend.”

He added, “Houston’s numbers as a road favorite (15-12 SU, 10-16-1 ATS) don’t seem appealing but a lot of those losses came early in the season. Since the All-Star break, the club has gone 6-3 when laying points as a visitor. It’s rare to see Utah listed as a home underdog, just twice this season (1-1). However, the Jazz are 0-3 both SU and ATS in their last three games as an underdog versus Houston and that includes a pair of losses in last year’s Western Conference semifinals. Some bettors might feel more secure taking the visitor on the money-line (-150) but make a note that the Rockets won all three of those games in Salt Lake City by double digits and the ‘under’ cashed in each contest too.”

Under Quin Snyder, the Jazz have put together an 0-5 SU/ATS record as a home underdog in the playoffs, including four straight losses by 11 points or more. The Rockets are currently riding a 7-1 run to the UNDER in the last eight playoff games, including three straight UNDERS against the Jazz on the road since last season’s second round matchup.

10* FREE MLB PICK (Pirates -139)
I'll take my chances here with Pittsburgh securing a win in Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks. This will be the final stop on Arizona's 10-game road trip and the back-end of a road trip can be a challenge. Pirates have been a huge surprise so far. While they lost on Sunday they had won 5 straight prior to the defeat, are 6-3 at home this season and own the best winning percentage in the NL.
Most importantly, Pittsburgh will have the edge on the mound in this one. Pirates turn to Joe Musgrove, who has allowed a mere 2 earned runs (0.89 ERA) in 3 starts (20.3 innings). Arizona will counter with Zack Godley, who is coming off a solid outing at Atlanta, but he was fortunate to get out of some early trouble. Even with that strong outing, Godley owns a 6.26 ERA and 1.391 WHIP in 4 starts, giving up 16 runs in 23 innings. Give me the Pirates -139!

Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Pittsburgh Pirates -127
The Pittsburgh Pirates have won five of their last six and are quietly playing some great baseball right now. They have allowed 3 runs or fewer in 10 consecutive games now. That trend should get extended to 11 straight tonight with Joe Musgrove on the mound.
Musgrove is thriving in his new home in Pittsburgh this season. He has gone 1-1 with a 0.89 ERA and 0.836 WHIP in three starts this season, giving up just 2 earned runs and 17 base runners in 20 1/3 innings.
Zack Godley has gotten off to a disastrous start for the Diamondbacks. He is 1-1 with a 6.26 ERA and 1.391 WHIP in his four starts, allowing 16 earned runs in 23 innings of work.
Pittsburgh is 18-2 vs. teams that draw 3 or fewer walks per game over the last two seasons. The Diamondbacks are 3-11 in Godley’s last 14 starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Pirates are 10-1 in their last 11 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. Pittsburgh is 4-0 in Musgrove’s last four home starts. Bet the Pirates Monday.

Ricky's 1* Free Play on the Carolina Hurricanes.
Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant.
- Home ice advantage. Backs against the wall. Two crucial factors are working in favor of the Hurricanes here. So far “home ice” has meant everything in this series. After getting blown out in Carolina in Game’s 3 and 4, the Capitals bounced back with a big 6-0 win in Game 5 at home. But now it’s time for the Hurricanes to reciproctae. Everything points to a decisive Game 7 in the nation’s capital in my opinion (and the price is a great one as well for the home side tonight.)
Key Trends:
- Washington is a poor 19-22 (-8.4 units) already this season after scoring four goals or more in its previous game.
- Carolina is 14-9 (+4 units) after scoring one goal or less in its previous contest this year.
The verdict: As stated off the top, home ice has meant everything in this series so far and I expect that trend to continue. Play on the Canes!

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Game #953 Monday Free Pick Philadelphia Phillies Money Line (+) @ New York Mets @ 7:10 ET - File this play under "regression to the mean" in terms of why you invest in a spot like this. As I have mentioned many times before, the odds makers are quite sharp. They opened up this game at Phillies -115 with the earliest of lines that popped up off shore yesterday afternoon. We're now seeing this line having fully "flipped" as the Mets are favored as high as a -120 and this is offering great value on the road dog! Do you think the odds makers are unaware that Steven Matz had pitched well early this season (before his recent start was a poor one) or that Matz wants revenge against the Phillies after his last outing against them was horrible? Of course they are aware of this! But this is where regression to the mean kicks in. In other words, Matz is not going to keep getting the great results he had early this season. Why would this turn around here? The Phillies have proven before, just like in the last meeting, that they can give Matz a lot of trouble. Also, Matz had a 1.49 WHIP in road games last season. That means he allowed 3 baserunners every 2 innings on average. That is a quick way to get yourself in trouble and the Phillies will be in bounce back mode after losing an ugly series at Colorado. Jake Arrieta has been pitching extremely well for the Phillies this season and has been their top performer. There are no indications of that changing and, keep in mind, he also pitched very well early last season too so this is no fluke! The Mets are on a 58-100 run in games against teams with a winning record the past 2+ seasons. The Phillies are 6-2 after a loss this season. Free Pick PHILADELPHIA

Astros
The Minnesota Twins have been quite comfortable playing on the road this season and hope to continue the trend when they visit the Houston Astros for the first of three games Monday night. The Twins, who belted 11 homers in a doubleheader sweep Saturday at Baltimore, finished off the series with a 4-3 victory on Sunday and have won seven of their first 10 away from home this season.
Jake Odorizzi tries to string two wins together when he takes the mound for the Twins in the series opener and Houston gives the ball to fellow right-hander Brad Peacock after leaving the bases loaded in an 11-10 loss at Texas on Sunday. The Astros had won 10 games in a row before dropping three of their last four.
Odorizzi earned his first victory of the season last Wednesday, limiting Toronto to one run on six hits with six strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings of a 4-1 victory. The 29-year-old Illinois native yielded eight runs (seven earned) across 5 1/3 frames in his previous two starts.
Peacock returns to the rotation after two straight outings in relief, one of which ended up as a victory at Seattle on April 12. The 31-year-old Florida native has permitted three runs (two earned) across 11 innings on the road this year and gave up five runs over five frames in his only home start.
Twins are 1-10 in Odorizzis last 11 road starts vs. a team with a winning record. Astros are 11-3 in their last 14 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. Astros are 6-1 in Peacocks last 7 home starts. Twins are 3-12 in the last 15 meetings.
Lay the big number with Houston in this spot.

Love the value here with the Stars as a small home favorite in Game 6 of their series against the Predators. Dallas took a 3-2 series lead with a 5-3 win at Nashville on Saturday and I'm confident they put an end to the Predators season tonight.
For me it's all about who is protecting the net. Dallas has an absolute rock in Ben Bishop, who is a finalist for the Vezina Trophy. While Nashville's Pekka Rinne won the Vezina award a year ago, he's not performing anywhere close to that in the postseason. Stars have scored 5 goals a piece in Games 4 and 5. Last time Rinne was in the net at Dallas, he gave up 4 goals on 8 shots. Take Dallas!

MLB | Nationals vs Rockies
Play on: Rockies -131 at pinnacle

My 1* free play on the Colorado Rockies.
After a slow start the 9-13 Rockies come into this one on top form. Colorado took three of four from the Phillies over the weekend and it’s now won six of its last seven overall.
Colorado slugger Charlie Blackmon was 10 for 18 in the series win over Philadelphia. Rockies’ starter Tyler Anderson (0-2, 11.00 ERA) will now also look to leave his early season struggles in the rear-view mirror. Perhaps a date vs. the Nationals is just what the doctor ordered to get back on track, as note that he’s 1-0 with a 2.50 ERA in three starts vs. Washington for his career.
The Nationals enter off a 5-0 win at Miami yesterday afternoon, after the Marlins took the first two games of the series.
The visitors counter with Jeremy Hellickson (2-0, 2.63) who gave up two runs over five innings vs. the Giants in his latest start, but who is a poor 1-1 with a ballooned 6.00 ERA in two outings against the Rockies for his career.
I like the hard-hitting home side to continue its progression at the plate. Consider Colorado on Monday night.
Good luck…Larry

Play on: A's -125 at sportsbook

1* Free Sharp Play on A's -125
My money is on the A's to cash in a win here at home against the Rangers. Texas' Mike Minor has been outstanding in his last 3 starts and the Rangers are getting a lot of love in this one with him on the mound, especially with Oakland sending out Chris Bassitt for his first start of 2019. I just trust the A's to find a way to win at home against a division rival. Oakland has won 5 straight at home vs a left-handed starter and are 16-5 in their last 21 at home vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games. Bet the A's -125!

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Los Angeles Angels -105
The injuries for the Yankees are becoming almost laughable at this point. They are without Judge, Stanton, Sanchez, Bird, Tulo, Hicks and Gregorious in their lineup. It’s just going to be hard for them to win games consistently missing all these stars. Both J.A. Happ and Matt Harvey have struggled to start the season. But Harvey is 1-0 with a 1.25 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in three previous starts against the Yankees. Happ is 2-6 with a 5.57 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in eight previous starts against the Angels. Los Angeles is 13-5 in its last 18 home games. Give me the Angels.

ADRIAN HOUSER (R) vs. JACK FLAHERTY (R)

Flaherty allowed five runs on nine hits to Milwaukee last week -- including homers to Lorenzo Cain and Yasmani Grandal in just 2 2/3 innings to take the loss. Im betting the Brewers matchup well against Cardinals starter and get my support again here on a value line. Note: ight-hander Adrian Houser, who will make his first career start in the majors in place of the injured Freddy Peralta (shoulder). The 26-year-old has pitched well with Triple-A San Antonio this season, posting a 1-0 mark with a 1.10 ERA and 0.73 WHIP in three starts (16 1/3 frames).

The Brewers are 8-0 on the ML on the road after a game as a home dog in which they had more strikeouts than hits.

Brewers are 9-2 in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning record.Brewers are 17-5 in their last 22 Monday games.Brewers are 20-7 in their last 27 vs. National League Central.Brewers are 20-7 in their last 27 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.Brewers are 56-20 in their last 76 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game.

St. Louis over Milwaukee- Ya know after losing three one-run games 2-1, 6-5 and 4-3 (ex-11) most would a confidence lull...NOT here folks! Up to that point I was the Christian Yelich 12-24, w/eight walks, eight home runs and 19 RBI's of MLB handicapping winning 8-of-9 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks (Phils/Mets tonight) with 11-2-1 winning days. Jack Flaherty (1-1, 5.00) has been great at home throwing 11 innings allowing nine hits with 14 K's. Take Chip's Megabucks winner and the CARDINALS!

The line tonight on the visiting Milwaukee Bucks is now a solid dozen points, but there is no choice but to put on your "lumberjack shirt" and lay the wood in Motown this Monday evening.

The loss by the Pistons on Saturday just happened to be their 13th straight in the postseason which sets the all-time NBA record for most consecutive playoff losses, and while this year's team is only responsible for the last 3, you may as well go ahead and add a 14th straight loss to that ledger.

Detroit simply has no answer!

Milwaukee knows their conference semifinal opponent just swept their opening round foe on Sunday, as Boston stopped Indiana in Indy to complete their 4 game sweep, so there should be no fooling around tonight from Mike Budenholzer's # 1 seeded team in the East.

Do keep in mind that Giannis Antokounmpo was limited on Saturday by foul trouble, but when 6 other players step up and give you double-digits, then it really doesn't matter much, does it?

Dating back to the regular season, Milwaukee has now won ALL 7 games played between the teams, and they have covered in each of their last 5 series victories and are 6-0-1 overall against the spread in the 7 wins.

Too much depth on the Bucks for the Pistons to contend with, and while the double-digits Milwaukee must cover on the road are a boat-load, I won't hesitate to lay them tonight.

Time for the broom to come out at Little Caesars Arena on Monday.

Bucks big.

Now the Yankees are on the road where they have played just 6 games thus far. After sweeping 3 in Baltimore, the Yankees lost all 3 played right after in Houston. I think they open this road trip with a loss, as the lineup that Aaron Boone has to choose from continues to be limited. New York lost Aaron Judge over the weekend to the DL, as they now have 6 of their players from their opening day lineup on the shelf, and 13 players overall on the disabled list!!!


The Angels have been blowing hot and cold through the first 20 or so games, as they opened at 1-6, then followed with a 7-1 run, but needed a comeback win yesterday at home over Seattle to snap another 6 game skid.


Los Angeles will go with the still-searching Matt Harvey who has turned in 3 straight poor efforts - 0-2 with 22 hits and 18 runs allowed in under 13 innings pitched - and will be facing New York for the first time since 2015. Since Harvey will be facing a lineup that does not feature Judge, Stanton, Sanchez, Andujar, or Bird, I will look for the "Dark Knight" to fare better than he has of late and give his team a chance to win against the Yankees and JA Happ.


Happ is also struggling to open the season, as he is also winless at 0-2 and sports an ERA over 7. Happ has already allowed 6 home runs to be hit against him this season, and his 2-6 career mark against the Angels with a 5.57 ERA does not bode well for the Yanks to open in Anaheim with the "W" here on Monday.


I will side with the home team tonight.


Take the Halos.
