Saturday Action

Chicago Cubs -140
Cubs have advantage on the mound with Cabrera who has a 3-0 record, 3.27 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP
Rangers starting Leiter who has a 1-3 record, 5.45 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP
Cubs lead this matchup in batting average, hits, runs scored and on-base percentage
Cubs have won 10 games in a row while the Rangers have lost 5 of their last six

Rockies and Phillies over 8.5


Maybe the score isn’t quite like yesterday’s 9-7 Rockies win but it sets up again for the over. Kyle Freeland starts for Colorado. He’s 1-3, 5.04 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. He has given upn5 runs in 10 innings pitching away from Coors field. Aaron Nola starts for the Phillies. Somehow he pitched a good game earlier this week but before that he had given up 6, 5, 3, and 3 runs. Look for some scoring.

NYY -136

Schlittler has been outstanding so far this yr and after losing last nite he is the guy u want going today also the Yanks have done well vs LHP overall this yr so I look forward to a bounce back effort today so take the Yankees

Dodgers Braves o 8.5 ttl runs…Blake Snell making his first start of the year..Strider making just his 2nd..his 1st start vs Rockies gave up 3 er in just 31/3 innings…seems 2 high power offenses should tee off on these rusty pitchers

Texas Rangers + 1.5

Jack Leiter has posted an xFIP of 3.44 and SIERA of 3.52 yet his ERA sits at 5.44. He's due for better results.

It's almost the opposite story for Chicago Cubs pitcher Edward Cabrera. His ERA sits at 3.27 despite a 4.21 xERA. He also ranks in the 11th percentile in barrel rate allowed.

Look for Texas to keep it close.

Okc-8.5 Oklahoma City is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 games against LA Lakers.

NHL:

1* Carolina -192 (A) 3pm
(3-way -110 to lower juice)

Carolina is 11-1 SU in its last 12 games.
Carolina is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games on the road.
Carolina is 10-1 SU in its last 11 games when playing on the road against Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games.
Philadelphia is 2-19 SU in its last 21 games against Carolina.

Okc - whatever you want to lay. Team is just absolutely better and on a historic run. They beat the lakers on average by 30 in the regular season and now averaging by 19 in the playoffs and now only have to lay 8 points. They know the spread and are willingly to blow open a game at any Stretch of the game.

Rays +145
25-12 overall 8-2 last 10
Martinez has a 1.75 era and 1.02 whip
Take the better team and the value!

MLB

917 Tampa Bay Rays +129

The Rays have a strong record against division opponents with a 7-1 straight-up mark.
The Rays are 9-2 straight up in their last 10 games.

Guardians/Twins Over 8

Twins have played over today’s posted total in 10of last 11 games while Guardians have done it in 7 of last 8. Take the over.

o8.5 Philadelphia / Colorado

Look for these 2 teams to continue scoring runs. A pitching matchup with both pitchers struggling. Freeland for Colorado in his last 2 starts has gone 9.1 innings giving up 14 hits and 10 earned runs. On the other side for Philadelphia in his last 3 games has gone 15 innings giving up 18 hits and 11 earned runs. I see enough runs to get is over the number here

Royals -145...The Tigers are 3-7 their last 10 games and they've only won 6 games on the road this year..The Royals have a winning record at home and have Wacha on the mound who's pitching very well

wild +110

The Wild have won five of their last six games as home underdogs against Western Conference opponents.
The Avalanche have lost 12 of their last 23 games as road favorites against Central Division opponents.
The Wild have covered the puck line in each of their last nine Saturday games as underdogs.
The Avalanche have failed to cover the puck line in six of their last seven night games at Grand Casino Arena following a win.
The Avalanche have lost the second period in four of their last five games at Grand Casino Arena following a home win

Braves ML +150, I expect striders command to be a bit better second time through the rotation after walking 5 Rockies and I feel snell who’s struggled with his command a lot of his career will walk a bunch of guys in his first start back from injury. This seems like more of a coin flip game to me and I’ll always take a +150 in those spots

NHL

WILD AVALANCHE UNDER 6.5 (-125)

Like the Wild in this one to keep it close and possibly win it outright. At home Wild be able match up and neutralize much better. The main X factor is penalties, if they stay out of the box they should keep this one under the 6.5.

Wild ML +115

Colorado is up 2-0, but the underlying numbers are tighter than the series score, with 5v5 xGF only 4.48 to 4.23 COL and high-danger chances close at 21-18 COL. Minnesota has been dragged down by a brutal .788 team SV%, which is more likely to regress at home than continue at that level. The Wild also had a 52.4% expected-goals share at home this season, and this is a classic down 0-2 desperation spot. Colorado’s power play is the main concern, but at +115, I like backing the Wild’s bounce-back spot at home.
