Taking the ASTROS. I can't take away from the Mariners great start. 13-2 is nothing to sneer at. You can only beat who is front of you. But the schedule has been kind. The A's aren't suppose to be that good this year. Then you have the rebuilding White Sox and Royals. The Angels. You beat the Red Sox who appear lost lately. Now the bar is raised. Here come the Astros. Obviously I am not the only one not sold on Seattle as even with their impressive record and 6 straight wins, they are a a home dog tonight. Leblanc has a 6.47 ERA last year vs the 'Stros in 6 starts. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS

Their goalie has now lost 5 straight games dating back to last year obviously- But maybe it is in his head now. 10-3, 9-2, either one, Blues on a nice run.

Taking the ORIOLES. Look. I will be fading NYY until I see these guys run off at least 3 or 4 in a row. I think the starting pitching is average at best. Forget Elsbury who has been out since about 2 months into his monster contract (I call him Gardybury since he and Gardy are the same guy) - Forget Didi. You now have lost Andujar who people, I included expected another step forward. Shocked that Tulo is hurt. Stanton banged up. Hicks out. Sanchez was brutal last year. If he starts slow I think he is done for the year. Zero confidence in himself. I like Gleybar and the DJ signing was huge and is even larger than life now. I think Wade will be a solid contributor. But, now with Wade and Frazier, 2 youngsters looking to break out. Coupled with Voit's and Bird's slow starts. I think you are looking at a long April for the Yanks.

Off a loss of key player, vs a conference foe. Double revenge on the season. Everything lined up. Now, not so much. I get that these guys have been great in this tournament. Really just a couple hiccup spots of poor play. But I said all season I believed Virginia looked a bit different. They are 2 wins away from getting away from last years epic loss. I think that is a huge motivation factor for them. They have been tested and responded. I think Auburn has peaked and this is a double digit loss for them 5* Best Bet VIRGINIA

I wanted to fade NYY right out of the gate in every home game as I knew they would be huge faves. And I backed off. Terrible on my part. The Yanks starters are average at best right now. The lineup is missing pieces. They were already going to count on young guys to be as good or better than last year. Without Didi, now Stanton and Andujar. Judge is special. But Sanchez was brutal last year. Torres is still young. Tulo? Hicks and DJ, Gardy. Give me the Tigers, or any huge dog facing these guys. You can't tell me every team doesn't want to come in here and beat the big, bad Yankees. Also on the Under here. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS

Going UNDER here. I really want to grab the Sox +170 here. I just can't pull the trigger. And this coming from a guy who has had the O's, Marlins and Tigers already this year. Indians have scored 10 runs so far, allowed 15. Sox and 18-21. But this is the best pitcher they have faced. I don't know if they can scrape 3 runs together of Kluber, especially here on the road. Cleveland is a team I am looking to fade and the lineup is really lacking. Let's grab the under in what should be a game with about half that amount of runs scored. 4* Total Money UNDER Sox/ Indians

I am trying to find a good South Florida win - I guess beating Wichita 54-41, maybe Memphis game 84-78. DePaul with 4 wins over St John's and Seton Hall. Also beat Xavier.

But last year, vs MLB lineups, 5.57 ERA in 21 starts. Now, do I think he will improve overall. Of course. That's a young guy taking his lumps. Is Detroit a monster offensive lineup? Of course not. But it is about a number here. And getting nearly 2-1 - I will be shocked if this line doesn't get better for underdog bettors as the day goes on, have to make the play.

And I cannot take Wainwright even as a dog. Guy put off retirement. Why? Life-time 5.54 ERA in this park. Guy pitched in 8 games last year. Had a 5+ ERA the year in 24 games. We have to go to 2014 when he was really good. At 37, and off another injury, I am not expecting that vintage Wainwright. 4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES

Taking DUKE. Lost with these guys the other day. And I'll tell you, it is hard passing up those points. It just seemed to me that it was too many points. Maybe they were trying to get VT money. I dunno. I thought that line should have been about half of what it was. That being said, you have seen me write many times about lines I think are too good to be true. Sometimes we take the low hanging fruit, sometimes we go against it. This line is again, probably a point or 2 high. Have this as a PK in my ratings. The fact that Duke is living dangerously to say the least, doesn't have me too concerned. They have probably the best 2 players on the court. Coach K hopefully won't screw this up for us. At this price, I am backing what I think, is a team with 2, possibly 3 NBA Top 10 picks in this years draft. I do love Sparty and Izzo. I said in November this was a Final Four team. And really, every team this weekend you could have made a case for back when the season started, minus probably Auburn (I thought they were a Top 20 team.) Short price, backing the favorite Duke again. 4* Money Maker DUKE

Taking AUBURN. Hit a little bump in the road with our Sweet 16 action. Still a great month of college hoops. Look. Sometimes we take favorites. It didn't pan out Thursday/ Friday. Last week the first 4 days we were 18-6 and 5 points from 21-3. It happens. So in this spot I like the dog. We had Houston and NC last games out with these two. Houston, well, tough one. NC, totally run out in the 2nd half. I know Auburn loses Okeke, who is arguably their best all around player. But I think in this spot, it is next man up. They are playing Kentucky, a conference opponent who they know. There will be no surprises. Kentucky took both from the Tigers during the regular season. 82-80 on the road, and an all out ambush 80-53 in Lexington. Time for a little pay back. That was Auburn's last loss as they have reeled off 11 straight wins. Kentucky dancing with the fire lately. PJ back, but I am still on the dogs. 4* Money Maker AUBURN

They took the first half off. And not that I am bitter over losing in OT, but we had that game and let it slip away after a big comeback. Blame that loss on me for having faith in that crap coach. I said from the ACC tournament when we backed these guys - they are on a mission. This game is the regular season, it is probably higher. They were in a dog fight with the Ducks. I get it. You're scared to lay with them. It's a new day. New team. Tourney time, we throw out the last game. Just like we toss out the Boilermakers huge first half.

Taking GONZAGA. Well. I was talking about coaching in our Pur/Va write up. Hats off to Texas Tech staff who have done an absolutely brilliant job this year. Tech is going to want to dictate the pace. And you know. I don't think it matters. Florida State seemed to play their game and that was a 72-58 point Gonzaga win. Tech not giving up points in the Dance, 44-58-57. I feel the Zags are on another level. We touched on their losses this year. Forget that WCC Championship Game loss. That was a total outlier. Neutral 3pt loss to Vols and 13pt road loss at NC in back to back spots. That's it. And we saw how good the Vols can be when they bring their total game. By the time you purchase this play, we will know if NC is advancing (I had them as a Best Bet Friday night). Tech is a very good team, for this price though, we are backing the fave. 4* Money Maker GONZAGA

Taking HOUSTON. Had these guys last game and they looked just as solid as I thought. Nearly played Kentucky as a premium play but opted for them on the free pick video. Look. Will I be shocked if Kentucky wins by a dozen. No. Will I be shocked if Houston wins this outright. No. First off, Washington may or may not play. And if he does, how healthy will he be? We saw them in an absolute dog fight with Wofford eventually getting a 6pt win. Houston slow and steady pulled away for a double digit win over OSU after handing Georgia State by about 30. Both teams go deep - But Cougars have their go-to leader and scorer in Davis. Who is that guy for Kentucky? Herro 2-11 and Hagans 4-11, Travis 5-10 last game. If McGee just hits a couple of his 4-17 0-12 from 3 shots, we can be taking Wofford/ Houston right now. Can never count out Wildcats with the yearly talent. But I will take a ML shot also on the dogs who are hungry to prove they below in Power 5 talk and aren't little brothers from the AAC. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON COUGARS
