NHL | Hurricanes vs Lightning
Play on: Lightning -115 at linepros

Tampa Bay -120
Tampa Bay is worth a flyer. Carolina has had no success inside this building or in this series as of late. Expect Tampa Bay to be the aggressor in this one.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

NHL | Devils vs Penguins
Play on: OVER 6 -105

These two teams just met on April 9 and April 11 in Pittsburgh. The Penguins won those games, 6-4 and 5-2. So what's changed? Nothing. The youthful, mistake-prone Devils still are in full rebuild mode and the Penguins still have a well above average offense ranking sixth in goals. Pittsburgh has scored 3 or more goals in 10 of its last 13 games. The Penguins shouldn't encounter problems denting the net again versus the Devils, who rank 28th defensively and have the worst penalty kill in the league. New Jersey has surrendered a minimum of 3 goals in each of its last nine games. The Devils aren't quitting, though. They came from three goals down to tie the Rangers during their last game this past Sunday before losing, 5-3. The Penguins haven't been sharp defensively. They've given up seven power-play goals during their last eight games and are off a 4-2 loss to the lowly Sabres this past Sunday.

MLB | Mets vs Cubs
Play on: Cubs +116 at pinnacle

Dave's Tuesday Free Play:
1* on Chicago Cubs +116
The Key: Jake Arrieta is happy to be back with the Chicago Cubs and pitching very well this year. He has gone 2-1 with a 3.18 ERA in 3 starts. Arrieta has been dominant in his last 2 starts against the Mets, both of which came last year when he was with the Phillies. He is 2-0 while yielding just 3 earned runs in 12 1/3 innings. I like the price we are getting with Arrieta and the Cubs over Taijuan Walker and the Mets today as home dogs. Take Chicago.

Brooklyn @ New Orleans (7:40 PM EST)
Play On: New Orleans -3 1/2
The Brooklyn Nets travel to New Orleans to take on the Pelicans on Tuesday night. Brooklyn is 38-19 SU overall this year while New Orleans comes in with a 25-32 SU overall record on the season. New Orleans is 5-1 ATS this year after 3 or more consecutive losses. New Orleans is 4-1 ATS last 5 home games against a team with a winning road record. Brooklyn is banged up as they will be missing Durant and Harden for this one. We'll recommend a small play on New Orleans tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

Play on: Knicks -5½ -110 at Mirage

1 Unit FREE PLAY on New York Knicks -5.5
The New York Knicks are rolling right now. They have gone 7-2 SU & 9-0 ATS in their last nine games overall with their only losses both coming by exactly two points on the road to two of the best teams in the NBA in Brooklyn and Boston. They face a Charlotte Hornets team that is struggling due to injuries and should handle them tonight. The Hornets are 1-4 SU & 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. They remain without Ball, Hayward and Monk and could be without Graham tonight. Give me the Knicks.

NBA | Magic vs Hawks
Play on: Magic +12½ -110 at Mirage

1* NBA - Magic/Hawks *FREE PICK* on Magic +12.5
Tuesday's Free NBA Pick is on the Orlando Magic as a 12.5-point road dog against the Atlanta Hawks. While I think there's value right now with Orlando given the perception people have of this team, this is more a situational fade on the Hawks. I think Atlanta will have a tough time getting up for this game given they will be on a flight to New York to take on the red-hot Knicks tomorrow night. This to me is a go thru the motions type of game for the Hawks. As for Orlando, they haven't completely thrown in the towel and I think they show up here against a division foe. Play the Magic +12.5!

MLB | Mets vs Cubs
Play on: Mets -129 at pinnacle

Tuesday MLB Free play. My selection is on New York over Chicago at 7:40 pm et on Tuesday.
The Mets will be looking to win for the sixth time in their last seven games on Tuesday night in Chicago and I like their chances of doing so against Jake Arrieta and the Cubs. Arrieta has posted a solid 3.18 ERA and 1.29 WHIP but a deeper look into the numbers shows reason for concern when it comes to the veteran right-hander. Arrieta has shown considerable regression in most key advanced stat categories over the last two seasons and has picked up right where he left off here in 2021. He has recorded a poor 42.3% hard-hit ball percentage and an even more alarming 91.7 mph exit velocity off opposing bats and while he's been a ground ball pitcher over the years, that hasn't held true here in 2021 as he has posted a 26.9% ground ball percentage and 36.5% fly ball percentage - both considerably worse than the MLB average. Taijuan Walker will take the ball for the Mets. He's pitching for his fourth team since 2019 but in this case I'm not sure that's really a bad thing as he's been a sought-after starting pitcher. Case in point, the Mets are paying him $10M this season. He's off to a fine start in 2021, holding opposing hitters to a collective .200 batting average. While his walks are up, so are his strikeouts, and he has yet to be tagged for a home run through 10 1/3 innings of work. Walker has certainly kept opposing hitters off balance, with an 82.9 mph exit velocity off opposing bats. Here, he faces a Cubs lineup that has managed four runs or less in 10 of its last 11 games. Take New York (8*).

NHL | Red Wings vs Stars
Play on: OVER 5 -134

These teams played yesterday and the O/U line was 5.5. With that game finishing with five goals, we're now able to get an O/U line of five for today's game. While we have to lay some extra juice to get the five, thats a very important number and I feel that we're getting fair value. The Stars have seen eight straight games produce a minimum of five goals. (Five of those games produced exactly five goals.) On the season, Detroit road games are averaging 5.7 goals. Likewise, Dallas home games are averaging 5.7 goals. They should get at least five again tonight with an excellent shot at getting more than that. Consider the Over 5 goals.

MLB | Astros vs Rockies
Play on: Rockies +108 at BetCris

My free play is on the Col Rockies at 8:40 ET.
The Houston Astros began the current season 6-1 but open a two-game series with the Rockies in Denver on Monday just 7-8, having lost SEVEN of eight since their fast start. Colorado won its season opener but has also lost EIGHT of its last nine and at 4-12, owns MLB's worst record. It looks like Luis Garcia will start for Houston, while Colorado counters with Jon Gray.
Garcia's first MLB experience came in 2020, making five appearances (one start), posting a 2.92 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and .167 BAA. He's made one start and had one relief appearance in 2021. As for Jon Gray, he has had an up-and-down career with the Rockies (45-37 with a 4.59 ERA and 1.34 WHIP entering 2021), showing signs of being an ace and at other times searching for consistency. However, he's been the lone bright spot in a struggling Colorado rotation through three starts, with a 2.87 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and .200 BAA. Colorado gets a much-needed win.
Good luck...Larry

NHL | Maple Leafs vs Canucks
Play on: Maple Leafs -1½ -115 at pinnacle

This is a free play on the Leafs -1.5.
The Leafs blew a 2-0 lead in Vancouver on Sunday, setting up a revenge angle here on Tuesday. Here is what I said prior to Saturday's game: "The Canucks return to play tonight against the first place Toronto Maple Leafs, despite some complaints from players who felt it wasn't safe to return to action. The Leafs are coming off three straight losses, and Auston Matthews didn't play against the Jets. He is expected to return tonight after skating without limitation on Saturday. It's unclear who will be good to go for the Canucks, but Travis Green says he expects to be missing 8-9 regulars. Not only are the Canucks shorthanded, they really don't have much to play for at this point."

GL,

NHL | Maple Leafs vs Canucks
Play on: Canucks +256 at linepros

Toronto is in a bit of a funk having lost 4 straight games, and are susceptible to being upset here again tonight in their current form vs a Canucks side that matches up well against them. Maple Leafs are 3-13 in the last 16 meetings in Vancouver.
VANCOUVER is 4-0 ATS in home games against good teams - outscoring their opponents by 0.3+ goals/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons. VANCOUVER is 11-4 ATS in home games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 75%) over the last 2 seasons. VANCOUVER is 10-1 ATS when playing 3 or less games in 10 days over the last 2 seasons.
Play on the Vancouver Canucks to win

NBA | Wolves vs Kings
Play on: OVER 237½ -110

Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Timberwolves/Kings OVER 237.5
Two of the worst teams in the NBA square off tonight when the Minnesota Timberwolves visit the Sacramento Kings. Expect a shootout between these teams with little defense being played since both have nothing to play for at this point.
The Timberwolves rank 2nd in the NBA in pace this season while the Kings rank 5th, so both like to play at fast tempos. The reason both teams are terrible is because they don't play defense. The Kings rank dead last (30th) in defensive efficiency while the Timberwolves rank 27th.
The Kings have scored at least 110 points in five straight games while giving up at least 113 points in 10 of their last 11 games. The Timberwolves have scored at least 113 points in six of their last nine games and allowed 111 or more in seven straight contests. Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

MLB | Brewers vs Padres
Play on: Brewers +105 at BetCris

Let's take the Brewers here in this game as a dog. They won last night against the Padres who are good but clearly still being over valued. I really Burnes who has been absolutely lights out right now giving up 1 run in 3 starts.
