The Astros bats are heating up and they are on a streak here.  Sampson has really struggled for the Rangers and this is simply a play based on the Astros hot bats.

I like the Warriors here tonight to bounce back after 2 straight losses on the road.  Honestly both of those games were coin flips in the final couple minutes.  I think Durant and Curry step up big time here with a huge effort and actually win this one fairly easy. 

The Cubs are rolling right now with a 3 run walk off by Bryant last night.  I think that momentum carries over here tonight with Hendricks on the mound who has by far had his best stuff at home this season with an ERA under 1.

I just really like this Nuggets team.  They took control of the series last game needing that win and I believe they win again here tonight and cover the short number.  They are one of the best home teams in the league and are simply a bad match up for Portland.  

I like the Astros here tonight with Mchugh on the mound.  He has had his best stuff at home with this season in two starts and also has pitched very well against the Royals.  The Astros have won 3 straight and the Royals are just bad team.  Duffy has also struggled big time in his career against Houston

I loved the Rockets last game and they got it done.  I just think the Warriors get it done as they easily could have last game.  Warriors are just so damn good and I don’t think Houston can match them

Really like the Celtics here to get the job done and tie this game up 2-2.  Milwaukee coming off a game shooting 50% I don’t think that continues.  Boston also off back to back bad shooting games and with what is at stake I think they get it done

Will take the RL here with the Phillies.  Nola has settled down here coming off very good back to back performances.  With them losing yesterday I think we se a major bounce back.  Norris brings in an ERA over 7 on the road as well. 

Let’s get on the Warriors here tonigh.  I think most believe the Rockets were robbed and they will be out for blodd.  All true but I think that motivates the Warriors as well to really put the hammer down on them and leave no doubt.  

Twins are playing very well not taking anything against them but Pineda has been terrible and the Astros will bounce back after being shut out last night.

I had the Raptors in game 1 and simply don't trust the Sixers here.  This team hasn't proven anything when it comes to the postseason.  Toronto is a bad matchup for them evidence game 1.  I think the Raptors handle them easy again tonight

I think Nuggets showed their true colo last game and will Win easily again tonight.  The Spurs still get respect because of their name but this team is no good on the road.  Denver one of the best  teams will all the momentum 

The Jazz really let that one slip away last game.  I think they have enough pride to still show up and give effort here.  Crazy how much this line has changed.  Give me the Jazz

Give me the Cards here with Flaherty on the mound who is just much better at home.  I also like the fact that he just got roughed up by the Brewers.  Houser making his debut which isn’t good against the hot bats of St Louis

Grab

Yes this is a big line and simply because odds makers know they whenever a team goes down 0-2 on the road that you can basically back them blind returning home.  While I didn’t want this high of line I believe it’s telling the story.  Thunder can’t shootnas bad as they have 

It's not the Cubs offense that has caused their rough start.  They are averaging over 7 runs a game so far.  I think they get to Lyles here and while he is off a good outing it was the Reds.  Darvish has had a couple games under his belt both on the road so I think home will help him also he isn't really getting tagged as much as its his control.  I think he cleans it up

Astros won last night and that momentum carries over here.  Loaisiga has a solid first outing but that was against the Tigers with one of the worst offense.  Facing the Astros for the first time will be a difficult challenge 

Instead of laying the juice here I will take the RL.  I had the Phillies last night in a winner and think they get the job done again.  I like Nola to get revenge here after already being roughed up by the Nationals.  

Really like Virginia here in this game.  I definitely think given last games results alone this will be a classic Pro and joes game with the public loving Tech as a dog.   Virginia was up 10 with under 4 to go and gave up that lead.  Many will say they are lucky to be here but they play just as good as defense as Tech and have the better overall shooters.  I also think they own the glass tonight and Virginia wins by 8

Will take my chances here on this number.  Sixers losing to the Hawks helps this line.  Bucks aren’t resting Giannis but are a lot of other players.  Bucks have pretty much locked up the 1st seed no motivation for them here

I know the Nuggets are on a back to back coming off the Warriors last night which isn't ideal but I still like them here as they have. in their mind the recent 1 point loss to the Spurs.  Denver is 31-7 at home this season and the Spurs aren't exactly playing great failing to cover in 6 of their last 7 games.

Wouldn't surprise me here if this line flips to the Nets being favored.  This game means zero to the Raptors as they are locked into the 2 seed in the east.  Sure, they have a chance for the one but the Bucks would have to lose out.  Nets are the 7th spot but only 1 game ahead of the Magic who is currently out of the playoffs.

I really like the Pistons here in this game tonight playing Indiana on a 2nd of a home and home situation.  Pacers have been struggling and coming off a game vs Detroit where they shot 55% is hard to follow.  Also all the motivation is with Detroit fighting for a playoff spot. 

The general public I think is off Duke now since they have survived two scare games.  Sparty getting a lot of respect for covering against LSU which is playing into the line.  im just not sure how sparty is going to match up here.  Duke has yet to catch fire and still are winning I think this is a coming out party 

I’m taking Virginia here in this game.  Purdue just had their career game making every single 3 down the stretch against Tennessee then bailed out by the red at the end of the game.  Virginia plays lock down defense and will take away those 3’s

I just don’t think Tech can repeat that performance against Michigan.  Michigan had wide open looks and couldn’t hit a thing.  I just don’t think Gonzaga will miss those chances and will take advantag.  Tech beingn over valued because of that win

Texas Tech getting a lot of credit with that blowout win over Buffalo I think more of that is because Buffalo is simply not used to a power 5 team and especially one who can lock down like that.  Michigan on the other hand has the better athletes, coach and I think they win this game so covering the 2 shouldn't be an issue

Like the Vols here.  I think people are making too much of the Purdue blowout win over Nova.  Edwards was on fire but he won't light this Tennessee team up who I think will have a great game plan against him.  Purdue simply needs him to be the man and I don't think he can carry the load for the full 40 minutes.  Tennessee gave up that big lead to Iowa but this team still has a lot of talent to win it all

Well the Hornets are interesting here.  They com in off a wild win over the Raptors at the final seconds.  I think that carries momentum here tonigh.  Spurs haven’t been a great road team.  Hornets still fighting for playoffs they need this game

Really love Houston here tonight.  If I liked Iowa Sf over Ohio St I should love this one because the line is the same and Houston is by far bette.  Iowa St played a horrible game and still had a chance to wi.  I just think this Houston team is the real deal and will shut them down

I had Liberty over Miss St because I thought they were extremely overrated.  This will be a different animal today playing as Tech team that is very good especially with Robinson back in the lineup.  Techc will eventually wear them down and pull away

Buffalo is a very good team not taki anything away from them but the beat down of ASU isn’t anything specia.  I just think Buffalo hasn’t seen anything like the Tech defense righ now.  Tech will take away a lot of things and make it tough.  Short price here will take Red Raiders

Kansas just isn’t a good team this season.  Im also not high on Aubru but they had their scare against a good New Mexico St team.  Betting public will be all over Kansas here as they won a blowout.

Yes this will be a public play but what is there not to love about Murray St.  Morant is a stud and Murray’s st is a dangerous team.  I wasn’t impressed at all with FSU in their rd win over Vermont.  Morant makes another strong case tonight 

Not surprised to see this line clim.  Michigan to me is one of the most compleye teams in the tournament.   injust think this is a bad match up for Florida across the board. 

This Wofford team is one that could make a serious run.  who has the better athlete we all know Kentucky does but who has team that plays tough and together and has shooters everywhere?  I think Wofford is poised and they showed a lot to me in that Seton Hall game down the stretch

Wrong team is favored here in this game.  Maryland played a much tougher opponent in Belmont compared to Yale.  Yale actually could have won that game as they missed a ton of wide open shots. If LSU plays defense like that again Maryland wins easily 

we are finally starting to see Iowa st play up to their potential here.  This team is hot now and I had them every game of the Big 12 tournamen.  Ohio St only has Wesson but they can’t keep up with the athletic guards Iowa St has here.

inthink the most overrated team in the country is this Miss St team.  I will gladly take Liberty here who isn’t the trendy dog and going under the radar.  They have played enough of the power 5 teams so this won’t be a surprise for them

Another trendy  dog here in Orego.  Sure they won the PAC 12 tournament but that conference this year is a joke.  I’m not buying into the hyper of that when it happens.

 Wisconsin will get them to play their style of ball here and take car if business 

Well the whole world is on Kansas St here and when the world loves a double digit seeded dog I ru.  Yes Wade is a big loss but this Wildcat team is still Big 12 Champa and has a ton of talent.  Weber is a good coach and they will be trady

Really like this match up here with Ole Miss they are a scaring type of team with all their guards.  I think Oklahoma should have been in a play in game.  Team underachieved all season long and I just don’t like what I see from them

Surprised by this line move brining it back down.  Not sure how many people have watched Wofford but this guard oriented team will cause all sorts of trouble.  Seton Hall is a hot team but with them being dogs here I think book makers are leaning strong toward one side here.  Wofford has one of the best shooters in the country in Magee.  I look for them to take down the Big East team

This clearly isn't your typical Nova team this year.  Without going into greater detail, them being a 6 seed is all you need to know when looking at how down they are.  Nova still ended the season well winning the Big East Conference Tournament.  Yes, St Marys did the same thing with an impressive win over Gonzaga but I think that has dropped this line a lot.  Would Gonzaga really be a 10 point favorite over Nova on a neutral?  A huge reason though that isn't being talked about enough is the fact that they have to travel across country and literally clear across the country to Hartford CT here. That is a brutal spot and I think Nova has the clear edge

I'm taking Nevada here.  I think this is a very good discount on them.  It wasn't long ago many thought this team easily was a top 4 seed.  The talent is there on this team and they are a very veteran bunch.  If they can get by this game they will be a handful for a so called better team.  Florida I'm just not buying.  They beat LSU in the SEC tournament but that team has a lot of crap going on right now.  Give me the veteran group and I think they have a chip on their shoulder

Auburn is getting a lot of respect here from winning the SEC tournament and they did it in fashion pounding Tennessee.  When Auburn is hitting their 3's they can compete with anyone.  When jump shooting teams get to the tournament they scare me big time and I don't think they can hold up.  New Mexico St is no joke of team as most remember them getting hosed @ Kansas earlier in the season.

I like Louisville here quite a bit.  I just think they have the overall better talent and better depth.  Gophers got in the tournament simply because of their win over Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament.  The better coach is by far Mack from Louisville.  

Really like Cincy here today with the Shockers coming of an upset win.  Cincy is just much better team here and fully expect them to take care of business 

Obvious reasons here why I like Duke, but this team is just a different animal with Zion on the floor.  He makes everything about them so much better.  UNC won both games during regular season and all the motivation lies with Duke

I like Tennessee here coming off the double bye.  This team has a lot to play for actually and can still get a 1 seed.  They had no problem with Miss St in the regular season winning easily by double digits.  I see the say happening today

Have to take Washington here tonight playing Colorado.  The Huskies are just a very talented team and I think they won't have an issue taking care of Colorado here like they have already twice during the regular season

I like Iowa St again here today.  This is team is just loaded up and down.  Yesterday was a coming out party and now I will ride with them. These teams have split during the regular season but I will take the more talented team in the Cyclones

Grab ASAP 

Just really think IOWA St shows up here.  They are the better team and will be hungry because of how they have played but also because trying to avoid getting swept by Baylor. 

I like the Jazz here tonight to get it done.  They are coming off an ugly loss @ Memphis and should be motivated here.  Utah is in a 3 way tie for the 6th 7th and 8th seed so they need to take care of business on their home floor. The thunder aren't playing that well as they are just 2-6 SU their last 8 games 

These teams are fighting for the 6th and 7th spot in the playoffs.  I think the Nets come away this one.  Yes, the Pistons are hot as we know but since they played yesterday and now have travel I am giving the edge to the home team here.  

Perfect spot here for the Spurs tonight.  They have had 3 days off which is huge considering the Bucks are on a back to back situation.  Milwaukee has the 1 seed locked up and wouldn't be surprised to see Giannis sit here.  I think the Spurs who are so good at home with a 25-7 record are clearly the more motivated team as they are fighting for a playoff berth

I just don't think the Pelicans really care about their season anymore.,  Davis is questionable and probably won't go for them.  While the Hawks aren't winning games to say they are still playing tough covering 3 of their last 4.  I think the Hawks despite being on a back to back show up with the effort here

Ohio St really needs a big time win here which IMO would put them in the tournament for sure.  They are 12-5 SU at home this season.  With this being senior and what is at stake I will take the Buckeyes here

Like Iowa here for several reasons.  This is the ultimate buy low point right now with them as yes they are struggling, but to me the most important thing is that they return their head coach who was suspended for two games and they lost both of those in ugly fashion.  I think Iowa is motivated and will come out strong here
