This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES/NEW YORK METS OVER for our MLB Tuesday Totals Dominator. The Mets and Phillies went under the total last night in the series opener but we expect the offenses to bounce back tonight and with a value number on top of it. It was a rare under for the Mets which have gone 15-5-2 to the over on the season thanks to an offense that is hitting .261, good for ninth in baseball, and to a pitching staff with a 5.35 ERA, which is sixth worst in MLB. The Phillies pitching has not been much better with a 4.42 ERA and their offense is right up there as well. The starting pitching for tonight sets up for a lot of runs as Zach Eflin has posted a 4.76 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over his last three starts including giving up eight runs in 10 innings over his last two starts, both on the road. Zack Wheeler has posted a 6.35 ERA and 1.54 WHIP overall and he allowed seven runs in 4.2 innings in his lone home stat against Washington. Philadelphia falls into a great totals situation where we play the over involving National League teams averaging 4.7 or more rpg going up a pitcher with an ERA of 5.70 or worse, with a bullpen that pitches more than 3.2 innings per game. This situation is 55-27 (67.1 percent) to the over the last five seasons. 10* Over (905) Philadelphia Phillies/(906) New York Mets

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. After losing the opener of this series, Philadelphia has won the last three games to take control and this is a big game to seize as the Sixers need the same time off as the Raptors which also play tonight and can close out Orlando. They needed a comeback against Brooklyn in Game Four as they outscored the Nets by 10 points in the fourth quarter but the two games prior to that resulted in wins by 22 and 16 points and that is what we expect tonight as long as the Sixers show up, they are capable of another blowout victory. One of the reasons Philadelphia enjoys a 3-1 lead against the Nets is the exceptional defense the team has played on D'Angelo Russell and the Sixers should be able to continue that heading home where they are 32-11 while the Nets, despite the Game One win, are three games under .500 on the road. Additionally, Philadelphia is 17-5 ATS in its last 22 home games after successfully covering the spread in three or more consecutive games while the Nets are now 2-6 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. 10* (508) Philadelphia 76ers

This is a play on the SAN JOSE SHARKS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. San Jose forced a Game Seven at home following a thrilling double-overtime win and it looks for some payback following a 3-0 shutout loss at home last season to lose in six games against Vegas. One positive for San Jose is that Game Six started at 4 p.m. and ended a few minutes after 8 p.m. That allowed the Sharks to arrive back home before midnight and at least get a reasonable amount of sleep before they came back to the practice facility Monday morning. Another positive is that some players on the Sharks roster have experience with quick turnarounds after exhausting games as back in 2016, after each overtime game, they recovered to win the next game four times. San Jose heads into tonight 27-12-5 at home while Vegas is just 20-22-2 on the road so line value is clearly on the home side here. Vegas is 5-12 revenging a loss where it scored one or less goals this season. 10* (12) San Jose Sharks
