NBA | Nuggets vs Hornets
Play on: Nuggets -1½ -110 at BMaker

Free pick on Nuggets -
I like the value here with Denver laying a short number on the road against the Hornets. Both teams are to a 1-2 start, but I've been much more impressed with the Nuggets and had them ranked much higher in my rankings to start the year.
The big thing here is that Charlotte is far from full strength. They are down starter Nicolas Batum and are also missing a couple of key reserves in Cody Zeller and Michael Carter-Williams.
The Hornets offense has struggled to say the least. The only time they have eclipsed 100 points is against the Hawks, who might be the worst team in the league. They still only shot 43% against Atlanta and that's their best shooting % on the season.
Nuggets have been a great team to back off a loss, as they are 28-14 over the last 2 seasons with a perfect 1-0 start to this season, following a loss at Utah with a blowout win over the Kings. Nuggets are also 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games. Take Denver!

Play on: Astros +1½ -208 at betonline

I've been releasing "premium" plays on nearly every baseball game for some time now. If you've followed along, then you know that its gone pretty well. I've nailed 10 of my last 11 MLB plays overall. My "top rated" baseball plays are now 27-5 ($19,740) the past 32 and 46-14 ($25,250) the past 60. I'm not releasing a "premium" play on Game 2 though. I feel that the O/U line, down from 7.5 to 7 at most shops as of this writing, is right where it should be. I also see the game being too close to call. Hill's got a 1.69 ERA and 0.875 WHIP his last three starts, all Dodger victories. Verlander's arguably been even better. He's 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA his last three. Both starters have enjoyed previous success against today's opponent, too.
The one spot where I see some value, even at the steep price, is on the run-line. Five of Hill's six career starts vs. Houston have been decided by a single run - and the other was by only two runs. I see this one being close the entire way, too. Consider laying the extra juice to get an extra +1.5 runs with Verlander and the visitors.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Minnesota Timberwolves +2.5

The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Indiana Pacers last night. They lost 107-130 despite being 10-point favorites. They gave up a ridiculous 66.7% shooting to the Pacers. Look for them to be playing with an attitude tonight in Detroit. I like the Timberwolves to get the win and cover here. The Pistons' only two wins have come against the Hornets and Knicks, and they had to erase a 20-point deficit to beat the Knicks. They lost their last game at home to the 76ers by 11. I think the Timberwolves are the better team here as one of the better teams in the West against a mediocre team from the East. Give me Minnesota.

Dave's Wednesday Free Play:

1* on Philadelphia 76ers +4

The Key: The Philadelphia 76ers got their first taste of victory last time out with an impressive 97-86 win in Detroit as 3.5-point road dogs. The Houston Rockets are vulnerable right now due to injuries to a couple of their starters. Both Chris Paul and Trevor Ariza will be out for this game. The Rockets beat the Mavs but lost to the Grizzlies both at home in their two games without Paul. They are also missing Nene, a key piece off the bench. Philadelphia is 31-11 ATS in its last 42 games off a road game. The Rockets are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The 76ers are 14-2 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Take Philadelphia.

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Houston Astros +100

I believe the home team dominance comes to an end here Wednesday as the Houston Astros will square this series with the Los Angeles Dodgers behind ace Justin Verlander. When he starts is about the only time in this series that the Astros will have the edge on the mound.

Verlander has been unhittable since behind traded to the Astros. He is 9-0 with a 1.23 ERA in a Houston uniform. He has dominated in the postseason as well, posting a 1.46 ERA over 24 2/3 innings while striking out 24 and walking only six. Every time he has taken the mound in October, the Astros have won.

After facing the filthy Clayton Kershaw last night, the Astros will welcome a new face in Rich Hill here Wednesday. While Hill has been good this season at 12-8 with a 3.30 ERA, he is no Kershaw. The Astros won't be striking out 11 times against him like they did against Kershaw.

Verlander faced the Dodgers on August 20th, giving up just one earned run and striking out 9 in 8 innings of a 6-1 victory. The Astros are 8-0 in Verlander's last eight starts. Bet the Astros Wednesday.

NBA | Jazz vs Suns
Play on: Jazz -6½ -115 at BMaker

Phoenix is off of a rare win in their last outing. They build a big 20 pt lead in the 1st half and barely hung on for a 2 pt win. Utah has won seven straight in the series and plays defense. The Suns average 102.8 PPG and are the worst defensive club in the league in giving up a whopping 125.3 PPG. Eric Bledsoe is out again for the Suns as they are trying to trade him. The Suns depth took a hit when Bledsoe decided to quit the team and I see Phoenix losing this one by 10 or more.
