ST. LOUIS @ MIAMI | 6/10 | 7:10 PM EDT

Michael Wacha is being brought out of the bullpen to start for the Cardinals, but there's no reason to believe his struggles are behind him. And now the Marlins' offense is one of the hotter in the league in the last two weeks, and Sandy Alcantara has allowed one run over his last 13 innings. The Marlins win nearly 50 percent of my computer simulations, which makes them a great value on the money line here.

Kevin Gausman was torched by the Pirates his last time out for seven runs, but my projections show a nice turnaround against Jose Musgrove, who handled the Braves last week. Atlanta, this time at home, wins in roughly two-thirds of simulations. That level of success should offer a money line of -194, so we're getting a deal with Atlanta.

The Dodgers have the clear advantage on the mound, and my projections see this as a blowout. The blue-and-white win more than 70 percent of computer simulations and by an average of two runs, which is a lot given how many simulations were run. The value is there with the Dodgers.

Monday selection -
My 75 dime selection is the Raptors over the Warriors. The current line on this game is -1 1/2 in Vegas and offshore at 10:30 am EST. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.
ANALYSIS
I am going to ride them to get the job done again tonight.
All I have heard since the Raptors game four win in Golden State is how Kevin Durant is going to ride in here at Toronto and save the day and win game 5.
Everyone in the media, everyone associated with the Warriors, all saying the same thing......With K.D, we are going to win game 5 and get back home.
WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.
To expect this man, after a month off, to just show up against this Raptors team, and play at an elite level is just ludicrous.
I am one of the few people who believe the Warriors have a better chance to win this game if he doesn't play than if he does.
Bottom line: The Warriors are more methodical in the half court set with him.
Listen, if he does play or doesn't, I've seen nothing during the regular season's 2 meetings and the 4 games so far in this series that tonight's result will be any different.
In both games Kevin Durant played against the Toronto Raptors this year, Toronto won. They will beat him and the Warriors again this evening.
And they will be your NBA champions after tonight.
These two teams have played a total of 6 games this year, one went to OT, one without Steph Curry, one without Kawhi and 4 without Durant.
It all adds up to 293 minutes of NBA basketball.
With the exception of a 6-minute span in the 3rd quarter of game 3 of this series, the Raptors have been the better team all year long.
Of all the teams the Warriors have feasted on the last 4 years they have finally found a team that has their number and believe me, the Raptors do.
The Raptors have the best all around player on the floor in Kawhi Leonard.
The Raptors have the advantage inside with Gasol and Siakim.
The Raptors have the better bench.
You add it all together and what you are seeing and what you should be understanding after 4 games is this: The Raptors are the better T-E-A-M.
Let me simplify this for you: The Toronto Raptors are to the Warriors what the New York Football Giants are to the New England Patriots.
Sometimes you run into a team you just don't match up with and that is 100% the case here and Kevin Durant won't be able to save them tonight.
Congrats to the Raptors and their fans. You are NBA Champions.
