This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS as part of our MLB Underdog Double Play. Minnesota came through for us last night as it defeated Houston 8-2 and defeated a very solid pitcher in Hunter Brown while taking the series with the Astros. The Twins remain two games ahead of Detroit in the American League Central and 3.5 games ahead of Cleveland. The Guardians can flip the standings with a big weekend in Minnesota and they too are coming off a series win as they took two of three in Baltimore. It has been an early disappointment for Cleveland but this has been a bad division which they are right in the mix of. After an inconsistent start to the season, Tanner Bibee has been flourishing as he has tossed three straight quality outings against some very potent lineups, posting a 1.83 ERA and 0.81 WHIP covering 19.2 innings while putting up a 19:5 K:BB ratio. Pablo Lopez was a big acquisition from Miami and he started great for the Twins with a 1.73 ERA through his first four starts but he has been all over the place since then as he has posted a 5.67 ERA over his last seven starts, allowing five runs or more three times. 10* (907) Cleveland Guardians

This is a play on the COLORADO ROCKIES as part of our MLB Underdog Double Play. Colorado got shut out on Wednesday 6-0 to drop the first three games of this series to fall to 24-33 on the season and it comes in as another significant underdog today despite the best pitching matchup it has had in the series thus far. Arizona has won four straight games to improve to 33-23 and the Diamondbacks are now just a half-game behind the Dodgers in the National League West. Arizona is 10 games over .500 for the first time since 2018 which shows how improved it has become after losing a combined 198 games the last two seasons. This will be just the fourth start of the season for both starters as Chase Anderson goes for Colorado and he has regained some of early career magic from his days in Milwaukee. He has a 1.72 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in three outings and most impressive is that all three were at Coors Field. Zach Davies made two starts in April with mixed results and then hit the IL. He came back last weekend against Boston and allowed two runs on five hits in just 3.1 innings and will likely be limited again backed by an average bullpen that has a 4.13 ERA which is bottom half of the league. 10* (905) Colorado Rockies

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA signature Enforcer. Denver has the clear advantage of having a ton of rest heading into the NBA Finals as well as playing at home where the Nuggets have been unbeatable in the postseason, going 8-0 in their first eight games. That being said, they are favored by their second biggest amount in the playoffs which is overaggressive entering the Finals against a team that has been very solid on the road. Denver has a prominent home court edge with the atmosphere and because of that, the public will be riding it here but the extra time off could be a disadvantage especially when being asked to lay a huge number. Miami has gone 6-4 on the road in the postseason including the Game Seven blowout win over Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals when it easily could have fizzled under the pressure and as mentioned in the analysis of that victory, coaching played a big part of that. Taking nothing away from Denver head coach Mike Malone who has done an incredible job with creating this team but Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra has the experience and accolades to have this team ready for Game One. Here, we play against home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 off a road win by three points or less, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 69-32 ATS (68.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (513) Miami Heat
