This is a play on the HOUSTON ASTROS as part of our MLB Tuesday Double Play. It has been a rough start for Houston which is off to a 7-16 start after a series loss at Washington. The offense is leading baseball in hitting but it is not coming through in the clutch by not scoring while the pitching has struggled. J.P. France has a 7.08 ERA and 1.67 WHIP through four starts but those numbers are inflated due to one bad outing against Texas and he has allowed three runs or less in his other three starts. The Cubs are coming off a home split against Miami to remain four games over .500 yet come in as an underdog. Jordan wicks is the season as he has a 5.29 ERA and 1.77 WHIP through four starts and he has yet to make it out of the fifth inning in any of those. Here, we play against teams averaging 5.0 or more rpg and with a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.750 or worse on the season going up against a team with a bullpen whose ERA is 5.00 or higher. This situation is 56-26 (68.3 percent) since 1997. 10* (929) Houston Astros

This is a play on the CINCINNATI REDS as part of our MLB Tuesday Double Play. We played against the Phillies last night and it came away with its seventh straight win with the first six coming against the Rockies and White Sox which are a combined 8-37. They have a tougher matchup tonight yet come in as a bigger favorite. Cincinnati had its three-game winning streak snapped with its potent offense getting shutout for the first time this season. Andrew Abbott is off to a solid start with a 2.70 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through four starts, allowing no more than two runs in any of those outings. Since entering the rotation last June, he has a 3.69 ERA over 25 career starts. Cristopher Sanchez is also off to a good start with a 2.53 ERA and 1.31 WHIP but his one bad outing was his lone road start at Washington. Here, we play on National League home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 averaging 4.7 or more rpg and hitting .230 or worse over their last 15 games going up against a team with a bullpen with an ERA of 4.50 or worse. This situation is 35-12 (74.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (902) Cincinnati Reds

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Home teams are now 11-0 in the postseason following a 3-0 Monday yet numbers have not changed or reflected that and this is one road team we will back to get into the win column. Following a loss in Game One where they never led and trailed by as many as 29 points, the Mavericks have now dropped three straight games but prior to this, they were on a roll. They were 16-2 in their previous 18 games and have one of the better matchups of all teams with the road disadvantage. While they have been good at home, they are 25-17 on the road and Dallas has been writing money in these spots, going 20-6 straight up and 19-5 against the number as road favorites despite the loss on Sunday. The Clippers lost their final three games of the regular season before taking Game One thanks to a sparkling defensive effort as they allowed only 30 first half points and that certainly will not happen again. Kawhi Leonard was questionable for Game One, did not play, and is now deemed out until early May. Here, we play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 off two or more consecutive road losses, playing 6 or less games in 14 days. This situation is 89-43 ATS (67.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (513) Dallas Mavericks
