8* Guardians runline (DESTROYER)

The Guardians lost the opener of this series by a score of 10-9, but then bounced back with the tight 3-2 win last night. In what we predict will be another "nail-biter" here in the finale, we're going to comfortably lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. Logan Allen is 3-2 with a 5.46 ERA for the Guardians, while Spencer Arrighetti is 0-3 with a 10.97 ERA for the Astros. Neither is very appealing, but give us Allen in what will be a bullpen game for the Astros. The Guardians are now 12-6 on the road, while Houston is now 5-10 at home; lay the price, the play is Cleveland on the runline option!

10* OVER Bruins/Leafs (BLOCKBUSTER)

Boston won Game by a score of 5-1, and it's been the only game in this series that's so far eclipsed the posted number. But now here in Game 6 we're anticipating another wide-open shootout. Note that Boston has seen the total fly "over" the number in seven of its last ten in trying to avenge a home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. With each team pushing the pace like we anticipate in this crucial contest, all signs do indeed point to this total flying "over" the number sooner, rather than later; and that's the play!

10* 76ers (BLOCKBUSTER)

We think that New York wasted its opportunity to put away Philadelphia and that the momentum has now firmly swung back in favor of the 76ers. Yes, Joel Embiid isn't at 100%, but he's quickly adapting and his teammates have picked up the slack. The Knicks have a ton of talent, but they lack size and depth. And now they're fatigued, on the road and the pressure is squarely on them to get the job done here and now; we say they stumble and the home side not only wins this game, but does so in blowout fashion!

10* UNDER Tottenham/Chelsea (EPL TOM)

These two rivals renew that rivalry at Stamford Bridge on Thursday and while each has played to several higher-scoring games of late, we're anticipating a much more defensive affair here finally on Thursday. The Hotspurs are off B2B losses, first calling 4-0 at Newcastle, before then dropping a 3-2 decision at home to Arsenal last week. They lost to Chelsea 4-1 at home in the reverse-fixture back in November, but note that Tottenham has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in eight of its last 12 in trying to avenge a home loss vs. an opponent. Chelsea is 13-11. It fell 5-0 to Arsenal, before then drawing 2-2 at Aston Villa last week. Fatigue becomes an issue here in our opinion in this mid-week contest, turning this match into much more of a "war of attrition," than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe; this number is high, the play is the "under!"

Mets runline (BLAST-OFF)

We're going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. Aaron Civale is just 2-2 with a 5.06 ERA for the Rays, while Jose Quintana is 1-2 with a 3.48 ERA for the Mets. Tampa has scored two or fewer runs in four straight and six of its past nine. The Mets got back on track with a 7-6 win over the Cubs yesterday and we expect them to keep that momentum rolling here. In a contest that we see being decided late, or even in extras, we're laying the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance; lay the price, the play is New York on the runline option!

10* OVER Giants/Phillies (ASSASSIN)

Neither team has been involved in many high-scoring games of late, but we're expecting that to change in the opener of this three-game series, despite two decent starters going head-to-head. San Fran goes with Jordan Hicks (2-0, 1.59 ERA), while the home side counters with Aaron Nola (4-1, 3.20.) San Fran has now seen the total go "under" in six straight after yesterday's 3-1 win at Boston, and note that the Giants have still seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of their last 12 after playing to five or more straight "unders" in a row. Philadelphia is rolling and just took two of three at LA. The Phillies return home after three straight series on the road and we're expecting this talented hitting line-up to plate some runs. In fact, we're expecting each side to put up enough runs that at the end of this one, the total will indeed go way "over" this super low total; and that's the play, the "over!"

10* OVER Canucks/Predators (WEST-CONF TOM)

This has been a back-and-forth series, as the Canucks move forward with their second and third-string goaltenders, and the Predators holding on for dear life after the 2-1 Game 5 victory in Vancouver. These two teams will be fighting tooth and nail here Nashville on Friday night, but in our opinion, everything points to a higher-scoring shootout, rather than a lower-scoring goaltenders battle. Note that Vancouver has also seen the total eclipse the posted number in seven of its last ten in trying to avenge a home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. Game 4 here was a 4-3 OT win for Vancouver, and we're predicting a similar final combined score here as well in Game 6; this number is low, the play is the "over!"

10* Magic (EAST-CONF GOM)

So far, as far as winning and losing SU, home floor advantage has meant everything. Game 5 was the first game in this series in which the home team didn't cover the spread. But we see Orlando not only covering here at home, but doing do in blowout fashion once again, setting up a decisive Game 7 in Cleveland and making this a spread that we have no issues at all in laying. Cleveland is still just 22-21 on the road, while Orlando is 31-12 at home. the Magic held the Cavs to under 90 points in Game's 3 and 4 and we're expecting a similar dominant performance here as well; lay the points, the play is Orlando!
