4-Unit Play. #768. Take BYU +3 over Baylor (Tuesday @ 7pm est).
This is a good opportunity for BYU to take it to the next level. This is a team that has been undervalued and given their its Brandon Davies is finishing out his career at BYU, this team is looking to send him out in style. Dave Rose's team won 26 games last year and 24 games this year, this team has trounced their opponents coming into this game. They beat Washington at home by 11, beat Mercer by 19 at home, went on the road to beat Southern Miss the number one seed in the tournament by 17 and now feature a top 25 team that takes care of the ball when it comes to turnover margin. I like Baylor a lot as a team and they are very young and Scott Drew's kids will get better each year. But, this BYU team plays well together and are in sync right now and combine that with this being a decent public fade, look for BYU to quite possibly win this game Outright by frustrating the potent Baylor offense by slowing this game down and taking care of the ball.

6-Unit Play. #762. Take Washington -1.5 over Chicago Bulls (Tuesday @ 7:05pm est). Washington is in a solid spot today facing the Bulls. There is only 3 games on the card today and obviously the public will be on Chicago and they are by a 2:1 margin. Have you noticed as to why Washington is favored though? See, the Wizards are not going to the playoffs and to them, when they play playoff caliber teams, that is their playoffs. This is a team that is much better as a franchise as they are 27-46 this year which is a far cry from years' past. They are actually 20-17 at home to boot and they have a solid group of role players surrounding a star and in this case John Wall. He is a legitimate star in this league and the showdowns between him and Kyrie Irving will be to come for the NBA in the future. Chicago is 19-16 on the road and I like the fact they come off a close win over the Pistons. It was a win that was aided by two Andre Drummond air balls near the end of the game. Washington has covered against this team the last 3 times they have played and this is the same team that beat Memphis at home by 13, beat a good New Orleans team at home on the rise who are a strong defensive team like Chicago, who beat the Lakers on the road and who I think will get up to play Chicago as the game is showcased on a limited card and one in which the public likely gets buried here.

4-Unit Play. #63. Take Los Angeles Kings -135 over Phoenix Coyotoes (Tuesday @ 10:05pm est).
The Kings have outscored the Coyotes this year 13-9 in the 4 times they have played and are 3-1 against them this year. Combine that with the Kings have 3 of 4 and are getting close to finishing up their road trip as this is the last leg on what's been a productive road trip for them, I look for them to have a solid outing today despite Phoenix having revenge today. Phoenix has lost its last 8 of 10 contests to boot and with the Kings having a +15 in Goal differential while the Coyotes are minus 7 that should make a difference as well. Phoenix has lost their No. 1 Goalie in Mike Smith due to a head injury and are just 1-5 with Jason LaBarbera in Goal. The Kings are 19-7 when they face a team with a losing record and the Coyotes are 1-8 in their last 9 contests facing the Western Conference. Look for the Kings to roll once again today.

3-Unit Play. #964. Take Oakland A's -140 over Seattle Mariners (Tuesday @ 10:05pm est).
It has to be frustrating when you open your season against Felix Hernandez. Such was the case for this Oakland team who was stymied last night against Felix the Cat last night. The A's managed just 3 hits last night and were shutout by the Mariners 2-0 at home. The A's No. 3 and No. 4 hitters went a combined 0-for-8. I like the A's to bounce back with Jarrod Parker. Parker has a Career ERA of 2.61 and 1.18 WHIP at Oakland Coliseum. Hisashi Iwakuma is best when he's effective with his sinker, but was 0-2 with a 6.14 ERA against the A's last year. Oakland is 10-2 in their last 12 head-to-head meetings vs. Seattle. This is a good spot to take Oakland on the bounce-back today after the frustrating performance in game one and combine that with the Mariners regressing a bit as they face Jarrod Parker who should have a solid outing today. Its still early in the season or we could step-out today. We'll wait until the end of the first 2 weeks to bump up our units to our usual 4 units a play.
