NHL 5-PACK #5

Great spot to back the Montreal Canadiens who should be hungry and angry after taking a 4-2 loss to the the Jets on Thursday.

8* play on Montreal Canadiens. 

NHL 5-PACK #4

The Los Angeles Kings and the San Jose Sharks usually play low-scoring affairs, wiht the under 15-6-6 in the last 27 meetings. I fully expect a lower scoring contest tonight following a 5-2 Sharks win over the Kings on Friday. 

8* play on UNDER. 

WIZARDS @ SUNS LATE NIGHT NBA ACTION

The Phoenix Suns are a solid 5-1 ATS as double-digit home favorites on the season. We should see a reaction following a 113-103 loss to the Clippers, and they are catching the Wizards at a good time IMO. This looks like a letdown spot following back to back wins, the most recent as underdogs at Golden State. 

8* play on Phoenix Suns. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

Good spot to back the under in this Saturday night game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Sixers will be playing on short rest after taking a 101-94 loss at New Orleans on Friday. Slow down the tempo and just get out of here with a result seems like a likely game plan. Under is 8-0 in 76ers last 8 games as a road favorite and 5-1 in 76ers last 6 overall. The Thunder are averaging only 105.7 ppg on the season, and running up the score against this Philly team is not an easy task.

10* play on UNDER. 

Mike Lundin's Yankees vs Rays Free Pick April 10, 2021

The Tampa Bay Rays opened this three-game series with a commanding 10-5 win. I like the New York Yankees to tie it up with right-hander Domingo German on the mound. German (0-1, 9.00 ERA) was charged with three runs on four hits in three innings of a 3-1 loss to Toronto in his season debut, but he's an undefeated 3-0 in six career outings (five starts with a 4-1 team record) against Tampa Bay. 

Rays righty Chris Archer (0-1, 13.50 ERA) was hit even harder than German in his first start of the season, surrendering three runs on four hits in only two innings of a 12-7 loss at Miami. Archer is 6-7 with a 3.14 ERA in 18 career starts against the Bronx Bombers who are very familiar with him.

Free pick on New York Yankees.

NHL 3-PACK #3

Great spot to back the Florida Panthers who had won six straight prior to dropping back-to-back games at Carolina. They lost 3-0 on Thursday, but are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. The Dallas Stars are coming off a 5-1 win at Chicago, but they are only are 1-9 in their last 10 games following a win and 2-10 in their last 12 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game.

8* play on Florida Panthers. 

NHL 3-PACK #2

Good spot to fade the Columbus Blue Jackets who have won only two of their past 10 games. Blue Jackets are 1-4 in their last 5 games as a home underdog. The visiting Chicago Blackhawks should be fired up after taking a 5-1 loss to Dallas in their last game. Blackhawks are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals and 6-2 in their last 8 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game.

8* play on Chicago Blackhawks. 

NHL 3-PACK #1

The Tampa Bay Lightning are high-priced favorites at Nashville on Saturday, but for good reasons. While the Preds have been hot lately winning nine of their past 10 games, I smell a letdown game after obliterating Detroit with a 7-1 smackdown of the Red Wings last time out. The defending Stanley Cup-champions from Tampa Bay are of course miles better than Detroit, even with veteran captain and leading scorer Steven Samkos questionable with an injury. 

The Lightning have won five of six meetings with the Preds on the season, winning all but one game but two goals or more. I think the best value for this contest is backing Tampa Bay on the puckline. 

8* play on Tampa Bay Lightning. 

SATURDAY NIGHT NBA | BUCKET BREAKER TOTAL

I think buckets will come fast and easy for both teams Vivint Smart Home Arena Saturday night. The Sacramento Kings are allowing a league-worst 118.5 points per game, and they've given up 120, 115, 129, 116, and 113 points through a five-game losing streak. Utah is one of the highest-scoring teams in the league with its 116.9 ppg (3rd) and it goes up to 118.7 ppg at home.

8* play on OVER. 

GAME OF THE WEEK ALERT | MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL MAJOR WAGER

The St. Louis Cardinals are winners of four straigth to make it 5-2 on the season. They defeated the Brewers 3-1 on Friday, and I like the Cards to pick up another win here with  Carlos Martinez (0-1, 7.20 ERA) on the mound. While Martinez was knocked around in a 12-1 loss to Cincinnati last Sunday in his season debut, note his  2.23 ERA in 29 career games (15 starts) against Milwaukee. 

The Brewers counter with Adrian Houser (0-1, 3.60 ERA) who is 1-2 with a 4.64 ERA in seven career outings (four starts) against St. Louis. 

10* play on St. Louis Cardinals.
