MLB | Tigers vs A's
Play on: Tigers +118 at linepros

Dave's Saturday Free Play:
1* on Detroit Tigers +118
The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Detroit Tigers today due to the edge they have on the rubber. Casey Mize is one of the best young starters in baseball and that has shown in his 2 starts against the Astros and Twins. He had yielded just one earned run in 11 innings for a 0.82 ERA against those two potent lineups. He should handle this suspect Oakland lineup today. Cole Irvin is 0-2 with a 7.45 ERA in his 2 starts this season while yielding 8 earned runs in 9 2/3 innings in 2 starts against the Astros. Take Detroit.

MLB | Tigers vs A's
Play on: Tigers +129 at pinnacle

I've cashed two plus-price run line tickets on the Athletics during the first two games of this series. But I'm switching gears here and taking the Tigers. Casey Mize at a decent underdog price is the main reason why. Mize, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2018 draft, is emerging this season. He's seemed to perfect his splitter pitcher, which has helped him give up just one run in 11 innings for a 0.82 ERA. The A's are not an offensive powerhouse ranking 16th in runs and 26th in batting average hitting just .216. The Tigers rank 25th in runs, but only three teams have hit more homers. Detroit also gets the luxury of facing Cole Irving, who probably isn't destined to be in Oakland's starting rotation much longer. Mike Fiers is close to rejoining the A's and Irvin hasn't pitched well with a 7.45 ERA giving up eight runs on 12 hits in 9 2/3 innings during two starts this season.

NBA | Jazz vs Lakers
Play on: UNDER 213½ -109

#555/556 ASA FREE PLAY ON Under 213.5, Utah vs LA Lakers, Saturday at 4:40 PM ET - This total opened way too high at 219 and has since dropped to 214. While we’ve lost value, we still think the Under is the play here. We have 2 of the top defensive teams in the NBA facing off in this one with the Lakers ranked #1 allowing 106 points per 100 possessions and Utah sitting at #4 allowing 108 points per 100 possessions. They both average less than 100 possessions per 48 minutes so their pace is middle of the pack by NBA standards. The key here is all of the offensive weapons that are missing in this game. Utah is without leading scorer Donovan Mitchell (26 PPG) who was injured in their most recent game and will miss some time. The Lakers remain without LeBron, AD, and now recent acquisition Andre Drummond along Morris and Gasol are all questionable. These 2 met in February when at full strength and only tallied 203 total points. These 2 have combined to go Under the total in over 57% of their games this year and we like a low scoring affair on Saturday afternoon.

NHL | Predators vs Hurricanes
Play on: Hurricanes -175 at linepros

Saturday NHL Free play. My selection is on Carolina over Nashville at 7:05 pm et on Saturday.
The Canes snapped their brief two-game skid with a lopsided 4-1 win over the Preds on Thursday night (we won with the 'under' in that game) and I look for them to complete the two-game sweep against Nashville on Saturday. Perhaps Carolina's lull in a two-game set against the lowly Red Wings last week was to be expected as it was coming off three straight wins, including consecutive victories over the rival - and at that time league-leading Panthers squad. We saw the Canes refocus and deliver a dominant performance on Thursday night and I look for some carry-over effect from that here on Saturday. Despite a boatload of injuries, the Predators have been playing well but some regression is certainly in order and they've had very little success against Carolina, dropping eight of the last nine meetings in this series. The Canes are in a fine spot here, having gone 23-7 in their last 30 games at home following a win over a division opponent, outscoring opponents by 1.6 goals on average. Under head coach Rod Brind'Amour, the Canes have gone 40-19 following a win over a division opponent, outscoring opponents by 0.9 goals per game in that spot. Take Carolina (8*).

Play on: Cavs +2 -110 at BetCris

Cleveland
The Cavaliers have value as a free play. They have taken down Chicago already this season and have won 3 of their last 4. Look for them to use their speed and get out and run on this Bulls defense.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

NBA | Pistons vs Wizards
Play on: Wizards -4 -110 at BetCris

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Washington Wizards -4
The Washington Wizards are surging right now with five wins in their last six games with their only loss coming on the second of a back-to-back without Bradley Beal. They have gone 6-0 ATS in their last six games that Beal has played. They are fighting to make the playoffs right now while the Detroit Pistons are out of the playoff discussion. So the Wizards should get this win and cover this short number tonight being the more motivated team with both teams on the second of a back-to-back. Give me the Wizards.

The Golden State Warriors travel to Boston to take on the Celtics on Saturday night. Golden State is 28-28 SU overall this year while Boston comes in with a 30-26 SU overall record on the season.

Boston is 3-7-1 ATS last 11 games as a home favorite. We'll recommend a small play on Golden State tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

NBA | Warriors vs Celtics
Play on: Celtics -4½ -108 at pinnacle

My free play is on the Bos Celtics at 8:40 ET.
When Klay Thompson went down before the start of the 2020-21 season, not much was expected from the Warriors, who were coming off a 15-50 season (worst in the NBA). However, led by the remarkable Steph Curry, Golden St is 28-28 and has an excellent chance to be part of the West's "Play-In" tournament (7-10 seeds play for the No. 7 and N0. 8 playoff seeds). The Celtics were expected to be among the East's top teams but after back-to-back home losses to New Orleans and Dallas, stood just 23-25 through the end of March. However, the Celtics have won SEVEN of eight and are currently 30-26, tied with the Hawks for the East's No. 4 seed.
Golden State has won four in a row, including two straight to open a five-game trip. Curry (30.7-5.5-5.9) has scored 32 or more points in each of his last nine games and he has averaged 41.5 points during Golden State's current winning streak. Wiggins (18.1 & 4.8) and Oubre (15,3 & 6.0) had been excellent 'sidekicks' all season. Boston is back healthy, led by Tatum (25.6-7.1-4.2), Brown (24.6-5.8-3.4), Walker (17.6 & 5.1 APG) and Smart (13.4 & 5.6 APG).
This game is a rematch of a 111-107 Celtics win in San Francisco back on Feb 2. Curry had 38 points in the loss, but he missed his last two shots in the final 45 seconds to stall a Warriors comeback. That marked Boston's fourth straight win over the Warriors and I say the Celtics make it FIVE wins a row, "with room to spare!"
Good luck...Larry

MLB | Dodgers vs Padres
Play on: Padres +120 at Draft Kings

1* Free Sharp Play on Padres +120
The Padres (+120) are worth a look here as a small home dog against the Dodgers in Saturday's late night action on the diamond. This is just too good a price to pass up on San Diego at home with ace Yu Darvish on the mound. Darvish struggled a bit in his first start, but has allowed just 2 runs on 6 hits with 13 Ks in his last two outings. Play the Padres +120!

NBA | Grizzlies vs Bucks
Play on: Bucks -8 -110 at Mirage

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Milwaukee Bucks -8
This is a tough spot for the Memphis Grizzlies tonight. They will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back after a 126-115 road win in Chicago last night. They will also be playing their 5th game in 7 days and their 8th game in 12 days. They won't have much left in the tank for the Milwaukee Bucks tonight.
The Bucks are nearly fully healthy right now as they are only missing Donte DiVincenzo. Giannis recently returned from injury, and it's no surprise the Bucks are playing some of their best basketball of the season now.
They have gone 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last three games overall with blowout road wins over the Magic by 37, the Timberwolves by 25 and the Hawks by 11. Now they should have no problem be
