MLB | Mets vs Rockies
Play on: Mets -136 at betonline

AAA Sports' Selection: New York Mets (ML).

We're anticipating New York to start David Peterson -- has not looked great this year, but should get a lot of runs to work with here.

The Mets scored five yesterday and have won two of their L3 games.

They will be hoping to score lots in this series, against one of worst teams in the National League.

Colorado will start Tomoyuki Sugano -- he has been much worse at home with an earned run average of 4.02 here opposed to one below two elsewhere.

The Rockies got swept by the Braves at home over the weekend.

We're on NYM to win big.

May 04 '26, 6:40 PM in 4h
MLB | Blue Jays vs Rays
Play on: Rays -120 at circa

Here’s a fresh take on tonight’s Rays-Blue Jays matchup that feels worth circling on a quiet Monday slate. I’ve been watching this AL East battle for years, and the story tonight boils down to a sharp pitching mismatch in a building that usually rewards the home side.

The Tampa Bay Rays roll into this one sitting at 21-12 overall and a very comfortable 11-4 at Tropicana Field. That’s not just a nice record, it’s the kind of home dominance that tends to show up in the win column when the favorite is getting the run they deserve. Toronto, meanwhile, is 16-18 and a rough 6-10 on the road, where they’ve struggled to put consistent innings together away from home. Divisional games like this already carry extra weight, but when one team is playing above .600 at home and the other is barely scraping .400 away, the angle writes itself.

What really tips the scales, though, is the starting pitching. Nick Martinez has been outstanding for the Rays, 2-1 with a 1.70 ERA and a WHIP that barely cracks 1.00 through his first handful of starts. He’s limiting hard contact and keeping runners off the bases, which plays perfectly in a park that already suppresses offense. On the flip side, Eric Lauer has been banged around to the tune of a 6.00 ERA and 1-3 record. That’s not a small-sample fluke; it’s a guy who’s been giving up runs in bunches lately, and facing a Rays lineup that’s been clicking on both sides of the ball.

Look back over the recent trends and you see the Rays winning nine of their last ten games, including a strong 4-1 clip in the most recent stretch. They’ve been outscoring opponents comfortably and their bullpen has been reliable once the starter hands the ball over. Toronto has shown flashes, 6-3 in their last nine overall, but the road woes and the head-to-head history in St. Petersburg (where the total has gone under in eight of the Jays’ last ten visits) suggest this could be a low-scoring grind that favors the team with the better arm on the mound.

I’m not one to chase every favorite, but this feels like the kind of spot where the market is respecting the Rays’ recent form and home edge without overreacting. Around -118 to -120 feels like the right price for a club that’s simply playing better baseball right now. If you’re looking for a Monday night play with some legs, backing Tampa Bay to handle business at home checks the boxes: pitching advantage, venue edge, and a team that’s been cashing tickets lately.

MLB | Blue Jays vs Rays
Play on: Rays -112 at circa

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the home team in this matchup. The line appears to be influenced by Rays' RHP Nick Martinez' (2-1, 1.70)  6.66 ERA in six career outings (four starts) against Toronto, but the last start was in 2024 and the one before that in 2017. He's held the current Toronto lineup to a .232 AVG over 56 at bats. Blue Jays' LHP Eric Lauer (1-3, 6.00) has a 7.08 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in seven career appearances (four starts) against the Rays with more meetings in recent seasons.

MLB | CLE vs KC
Play on: OVER 9 -105

Guardians vs Royals MLB Free Pick 

The Angle(s): Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bibee (0-4, 4.08 ERA) while solid at home, he’s been lit up on the road with a 7.90 ERA over three starts, two of which went over the total. The Royals turn to Michael Wacha (2-2, 3.13 ERA), who opened the season strong but has given up 10 runs on 15 hits over his last two outings, ramping up the volatility. Kansas City has averaged 5.8 runs per nine over its last 10 games, and Cleveland’s offense was on a heater before a 7-1 loss to Oakland on Sunday.

The Guardians have more overs than unders after scoring just one run in their previous game, and as a tasty extra nugget, they are 7-0 straight-up after scoring one run in their last outing.

The Bet: OVER (3%).

MLB | Dodgers vs Astros
Play on: Dodgers -1½ -125 at betonline

Jack's Free Pick Monday: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-125)

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a big advantage on the mound tonight over the Houston Astros that should have them winning this game by multiple runs.  The Dodgers also have the rest advantage playing just their 4th game in 5 days, while the Astros will be playing their 6th game in 5 days and returning home from a 6-game road trip.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is 2-2 with a 2.87 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in six starts this season.  He has allowed just 12 earned runs and 38 base runners in 37 2/3 innings.  He is backed by a solid Los Angeles bullpen that has posted a 3.83 ERA this season.

The tired Astros will go with opener Steven Okert before giving the bulk of the innings to rookie Ryan Weiss.  Okerk has posted a 4.20 ERA while allowing 7 earned runs in 15 innings this season.  Weiss is 0-2 with a 6.65 ERA and 1.99 WHIP this season, allowing 16 earned runs, 6 homers and 43 base runners in 21 2/3 innings.  

Houston also has the worst bullpen in baseball with a 6.20 ERA this season.  And they likely won't have the services of their best reliever in Bryan Abreu after he pitched two innings yesterday.  Bet the Dodgers on the Run Line Monday.

All signs point to the Knicks in game one. The Knicks are at home, they have a rest advantage, and Embiid came up limping at the end of Game 7 for Philadelphia. The Knicks have also won 7 of the last 9 games against the 76ers. The 76ers are  5-1 ATS and 4-2 SU as an underdog since April 21. The Knicks are hard to figure out; take the points in this one.

Play on Philadelphia. This is a 3% play.

NBA | 76ers vs Knicks
Play on: Knicks -7½ -105 at Bovada

My selection is on New York minus the points over Philadelphia at 8 pm et on Monday.

We'll lay the points with the Knicks on Monday as they open their much-anticipated second round series against the 76ers. Philadelphia of course completed a massive series comeback against the Celtics, defying the odds with three straight wins to take it in seven games. I don't feel the Sixers are well-positioned to keep their three-game ATS winning streak going on Monday, however, noting that they haven't delivered the cash in more than three games in a row a single time going back to December 23rd. The Knicks also enter on a three-game ATS winning streak but they have three streaks lasting even longer to their credit since January 21st alone. I look for New York to grab the upper hand in Game 1 on Monday and will note that the straight-up winner is 24-2 ATS in Philadelphia's last 26 contests. Take New York (8*).

Play on: OVER 213 -110

1 Unit FREE PLAY on 76ers/Knicks OVER 213

The Philadelphia 76ers are a much more potent offensive team with Joel Embiid in the lineup.  This OVER 213 has some value when you compare it to the totals between these teams from the regular season.  The three totals in the regular season were 224.5, 227.5 and 233.5.  Embiid played in the latter two with the higher totals.  So this total being at 213 for Game 1 is too low, especially with Game 1's tending to be higher scoring as both teams feel each other out.  Give me the OVER.

Play on: Ducks +1½ -165 at PlayMGM

(#1) Anaheim Ducks | ATS | . 

Although I liked Edmonton in the last series, there's nothing against this Ducks team. They are strong, young & resilient which propelled them to the series win over the B2B defending Western Conference champs. Anaheim's very well coached and could definitely pull off another upset in this series. 

Vegas lost one of three home games in the last series & even though it's probably the better team on paper, winning in May/June is the only thing on these team's minds at the moment. When they met during the season, all three games went in favor of Anaheim, all in a one goal game. This one should be close, whoever gets the win and perhaps overtime. 

Burns' Prediction: 4-3 Ducks.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The Ducks are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games.

- The Ducks are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

- The Ducks  are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.
