STANLEY CUP FINALS GAME 2 BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Dallas Stars won the first game of the Stanley Cup Finals, but I like the Lightning to bounce back and even the score with a win in Game 2. They outshot the Stars 36-20 but just couldn't find the net. The Lightning are 46-17 in their last 63 games following a loss of 3 or more goals and there is no way they'll get caught off guard by the Stars two games in a row. 

8* play on Tampa Bay Lightning. 

WHITE SOX @ INDIANS MONDAY NIGHT MLB BANKROLL BUILDER

White Sox right-hander Dane Dunning (2-0, 2.33 ERA) has made five career starts, and the White Sox have won them all. Last time out, Dunning limited the Twins to two runs (one earned) over seven innings in a 6-2 triumph. Cleveland counters with right-hander Aaron Civale (3-5, 3.80 ERA) who is a winless 0-3 through his last five starts. The Tribe lost four of those five games. 

White Sox are 24-8 in their last 32 overall. Indians are 3-9 in their last 12 overall.

8* play on Chicago White Sox. 

MONDAY NIGHT MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE TOP PLAY

The Milwaukee Brewers have won four straight and five of their last six games. However, here they'll run into an even hotter team in the Cincinnati Reds who have won seven of their last eight, and I like the Reds in this matchup. 

Reds righty Luis Castillo (3-5, 3.03 ERA) is 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA on the month and he has posted a 2.25 ERA in four home starts on the season. In his last home start, Castillo fanned 10 and blanked Pittsburgh through seven frames of a 1-0 win. 

Brewers righty Brandon Woodruff (2-4, 3.45 ERA) is a winless 0-2 through his last four starts overall and 1-2 with a 3.60 ERA in five road starts on the season. In his last away start, Woodruff gave up three runs in 4 1/3 frames of a 4-3 loss at Cleveland. 

Brewers are 1-7 in their last 8 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Reds are 6-0 in their last 6 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

10* play on Cincinnati Reds. 

SAINTS @ RAIDERS MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL TOP PLAY

Two teams looking to build on season-opening wins will clash at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas Monday night. The host Las Vegas Raiders are coming off a 34-30 win at Carolina while New Orleans defeated Tampa Bay 34-23 at home in Week 1. 

The Saints may have put up 34 points, but they did not look all that great on offense. Quarterback Drew Brees had just 160 passing yards on 18-of-30 passing while six different players combined for 86 rushing yards.

New Orleans star receiver, Michael Thomas, will miss this game after being ruled because of an ankle injury which will be a huge miss for the visitors.

The Saints have an elite defense, but I expect to see a fired up Raiders team in its Las Vegas debut even without spectators in the stands. 

Raiders are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 Monday night games and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog.

10* play on Las Vegas Raiders.
