Earliest Cash - Rickenbach MLB Rotation #919 Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 9 runs in Texas Rangers vs Minnesota Twins @ 4:05 ET - The Rangers start Kolby Allard here. Though he has some solid numbers this season he likely will struggle here. The Twins have a .461 slugging percentage against lefties this year which ranks them #2 in the majors behind the White Sox. Also, the over is on a 7-3 run in Twins games. Minnesota has scored 7 runs in back to back road games. The over is on a 5-0-1 run in Rangers games. Texas should have success at the plate today considering they are facing a struggling Randy Dobnak. The Twins right-hander is 0-3 with a 9.36 ERA in his last 3 starts. The over is cashing at a 75% clip in Dobnak's starts this season. Overall, in his 12 appearances (8 out of the pen) this season, Dobnak has an 8.38 ERA and opponents are crushing him to the tune of a .335 batting average against. Considering all of the above as well as two bullpens that have struggled overall this season, the over trending should absolutely continue. 10* OVER 9 runs in Texas  

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Free Pick UNDER 7 runs in Washington Nationals vs New York Mets @ 1:05 ET (Game 1 of Double Header) - With this being the first of two games in this double header today, 7 is truly a solid number considering it is a 7-inning game. I just do not see many runs being scored here. Petersen is off a gem as he allowed just 1 hit in 6 innings in his most recent start. Ross also is off a great start with 9 strikeouts in 8 scoreless innings versus a Giants team that has been red hot. Also, the under has cashed in 6 of 8 games for New York Mets. The under has cashed in 7 of 8 games for the Nationals. Free Pick UNDER 7 runs in Washington - Game 1 of DH 

Semi-Finals Game of the Year - Rickenbach NHL Rotation #52 Saturday 10* Top Play New York Islanders Money Line (+) vs Tampa Bay Lightning @ 8:05 ET - The Islanders are in a must win spot here after dropping Game 3 on home ice. Yes, in theory, anything is possible but coming back from a 3-1 deficit with 2 of the final 3 games at Tampa Bay would be an incredible challenge. That said, I am expecting New York to play their best game of the series tonight. I also feel strongly that they would have won Game 3 were it not for a back-breaking momentum-shifting goal very late in the 2nd period immediately after a TB penalty had been killed off. It did not go in the books as a power play goal but, for all intents and purposes, it was. That proved to be too much for the Isles to bounce back from but this is a resilient group and very well-coached. I expect a big bounce back here. The Islanders have now lost back to back games and are 5-1 the last 6 times when entering a home game on a losing streak of 2 or more games. 10* NEW YORK ISLANDERS +115

Contrarian Crusher - Rickenbach NBA Rotation #521 Saturday 10* Top Play Milwaukee Bucks (+) @ Brooklyn Nets @ 8:35 ET - Normally I would suggest playing the money line here but at the time of this write-up at 8 AM ET on gameday morning, the money is only +110 but the spread is +2 and that gives enough value to grab the point spread in my opinion. Why I am looking for a Milwaukee win here? As long-time followers know I am a contrarian. These teams have met 9 times this season. 3 times in the regular season and 6 times in this playoff series. The home team has won all 9 games. Then the oddsmakers opened up the Bucks as 1.5 point road favorites here. The betting markets of course are saying the oddsmakers do not know what they are doing and the line has moved 3.5 points to where it is now Brooklyn that is a 2-point favorite. Keep in mind, the Nets are without Kyrie Irving and to me the Bucks sure look like the hungrier team. They are playing with a lot of intensity and passion right now. I know Brooklyn will dig deeper at home in this Game 7 but the hungrier team and healthier team will not be denied in Game 7 no matter the venue. The Bucks did a great job in the rebounding department and in terms of getting to the free throw line in Game 6 and they will do the same here and get the road win. 10* MILWAUKEE
