Clearly Luka is playing at less than 100%…..and as they need him to score and distribute….the place where he might see a stat tumble is in rebounds. Under….. P.S- I wanted to play this under in game 1 but got cold feet. Let’s hope I’m not being stubborn

The 6.5s are vanishing…..grab it now. I don’t see Vancouver scoring crazy here…last 5 games they have 1,1,4,2,1 goals. Fade the 7th goal

On the show MIke McClure made me look at this matchup. The starting pitching too good for us not to fade a 5th run

Turner has value in this series but it’s AWAY from the hoop drawing his man away from the hoop and using his considerable skills as a three point shooter. This will lead to less rebounds. Under.

Twins starter Chris Paddack has allowed four runs over his last three starts, pitching an average of six innings. Against righties, the Mariners strike out an MLB-high 29 percent of the time. Seattle is the only team striking out more than 10 times per game. Back Paddack to fan at least six for the third time in four games.

This game looks tempting….then again so does that 4th slice of pizza. Let’s hope this is a better idea. Too much firepower for the better team. I’ll pay to find out if Vancouver is better than advertised.

Like the first period under (which we gave out and cashed in game 1) but instead I’ll pivot to the home team to get even…..anything under -175 is ok to play

Hart was magnificent in game 1….but regression is upon us. The Knicks should score less, he should play less and this number is simply too high.

In game 1, Hartenstein played more minutes than expected… made a three point basket…. didn’t miss a free-throw, matched his high in assists for the last 10 games… and still barely went over. I’ll fade a repeat.

Big travel spot for both teams as the Angels are traveling from Pittsburgh (6-game roadtrip) and the Royals from Kansas City. Detmers has been okay but KC projects as a strong hitting team against lefty fastballs. I make the Royals 55 percent winners which implies a moneyline of -122.

I played against Cleveland (and won) in game one. My reasoning was that in a blow out Cleveland would pull up the gear….which is exactly what they did and they stalled at 95. Cleveland missed more shots than expected had the scrubs in for the last five minutes and still almost went over. Let’s flip the script

This is nothing Aaron Nesmith isn't capable of against the Knicks. The over is 7-0 vs New York, averaging 16.6 points. Nesmith comes into this game 4-1 to the over playing major minutes, with only Obi Toppin coming off the bench. We just need him to play 30+ minutes before fouling out.

Thanks to Alex S. I investigated and loved this prop….over last 20+ games he is below this number 90% of the time! Play it until they move it or we lose

The Houston Astros possess the lowest K Rate in the majors this season and are excellent against opposing southpaws. This does not bode well for Carlos Rodon who has not pitched great this season for the Yankees and appears to be on the decline, particularly in the strikeout department. The Astros have a lot of experience against Rodon as well and their projected lineup has good numbers against Rodon. I feel this number should be 4.5 considering the matchup and Rodon's present form.

Radon is facing the lineup least likely to strike out and his advanced stats say he should not get to 6. Heavy juice but still
