Taking the HEAT. Think this is an under-rated group. Sixers the sexy pick of the East. On a huge run entering the playoffs, 16 straight wins! But, no Embiid, though it seems they haven't missed him much. For me though, Spolestra does a great job for Miami. Won't be shocked if they steal a game or two here in Philly. 4* Money Maker MIAMI HEAT

Taking the ROYALS - Not that I like backing teams on 4 game losing streaks, but I think we have value today. Junis has been very sharp out of the gate. 7 innings in both starts, 4 hits. A streaking Angels team, 9-1 L10 and 12-3 on the year will be a tall task. But let's look at Richards in this spot. He's going 5 innings in his 3 starts. The walks are what I think helps our cause today. 12 of them in those 15 innings. 12 walks, 12 hits, 3 HRs allowed. Getting a big number like this, have to jump on KC even if they are a bad team. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS

The fact that NJ beat TB the 3 times they faced them (2-1, 4-3, 5-4 SO), will be the reason that TB doesn't take their foot off the gas, especially at home. Hitting the road up 2-0 is where they want to be. 4* PL Money TAMPA BAY

Going UNDER here. Lost with the Kings last night. They just lost the best defensive player on either teams as Doughty is out. On top of Muzzin being out, things just got a lot harder for LA to score an upset. But both goalies were solid. I expect more the same. Should be another low scoring affair tonight. I find that when a 'star' goes down, the other guys rally a bit. Going down 0-2 is not somewhere LA wants to be. But Vegas has defied the odds all season long. Vegas has gone under 6 of their last 7 at home. The series is 4-0-1 to the Under last 5. More of the same Friday. 4* Total Money UNDER Kings/ Knights

Going UNDER in Boston. Sevie and Sale are a pair of pretty good pitchers so a low scoring affair was probably already in order. Yanks bullpen is probably the best in MLB. Sale is a threat to toss a CG really anytime he comes out. Albeit if he has 10Ks through 4, the pitch count might get a bit high. Sevie pitched to a .64 in his 2 Fenway starts last year. Sale with a 2.65 ERA in 5 starts vs NYY. Outside of Didi and Judge, New York bats having a tough go early. A cold night facing one of the best lefties in the league won't help their cause. Sox just lost Bogaerts who was off to fast start (.368) - Betts, HanRam and Devers (all over .323) have been picking up the rest of non-hitting lineup.

Going OAKLAND on the RL. Again with Oak-Town yes. But won't lay the -145/150. Looking for a little bigger pay-day. And why not. Doug Fister on the hill! You know that I do not like Fister one bit. Toss out his numbers vs Oakland. Those are irrelevant today. Do people forget that after a 12-13 season in Houston, Fister was in the Angels minors before opted out to sign with the Red Sox. That close to be out of baseball. Rangers I think are going nowhere fast. They hurt us last night, but that was with their only resemblance of a starter in Cole Hamels. Fister will give up 4 before the 5th inning tonight. Texas bullpen is of no help to the Rangers, but should aid us in a couple late inning runs to pad our lead. Manaea off a solid first start, 4 hits going 7 2/3rds with 7 strikeouts. Looking for more of the same tonight. 4* RL Money OAKLAND A's

Going METS on the RL. I do think Phillies are an up and coming club. But Gabe Kapler. woo nelly. 68 pitches last game for Nola. I know the new generation is all about numbers. Not facing line-ups 3 times is, I guess, the 'thing'. I think Kapler has to stick to his guns here. He can't change his coaching in the 5th game of the season. Also, Phillies missing 2 key bullpen arms (Hunter/Neshek) . Thor looked pretty good. Movement. Speed. Strikeouts. We'll go for the big payday this afternoon. 4* RL Money NY METS

This being the Yanks, I will find it SHOCKING if they postpone again. These guys are all about the money. I was shocked they postponed the game so early yesterday with the snow stopping before noon. Figured they would let people spend money before calling it. They want to power this game out. They won't be looking for a day-night double dip tomorrow. Cold, wet and rainy. Hitters won't be comfortable. The good thing about starting the season so early is that we can spot play some cold/wet totals where I believe there is an edge. 4* Total Money UNDER Rays/Yankees

This guy is a sneaky good. Always someone I look to back. In his 14 Cub starts last year, just 3 games giving up more than 3 earned runs. 98Ks in 84 innings. 1.10 WHIP. I think this is the type of game where he comes in, 6+ innings 0 earned runs, 7 Ks and puts us in position for the W.

Only allowed more than 3 earned runs 6 times last season. Yanks still with the bullpen edge. And we won't have to worry about a Betances sighting either.

Totally dominated them on the glass. If this goes down in flames, it will be because Nova hit 45% of the 40 they will take. I think this one is going to be a nail-biter. 4* Money Maker KANSAS

Greinke has gone 3-1-1 under last 5 vs Colorado and Marquez under in 5 of his 6 starts vs Arizona. Marquez can pitch. Under is 14-3 his last 17 vs teams with winning records. Tells me he keeps his team in the game. We did get 17 runs last night. But the 2 starters gave up 14 of those runs. Bullpens did their jobs, and weren't taxed.

I can see this playing out ala G-Mason style, who Florida beat 73-58. Hoping Wolverines hit some FTs down the stretch and not cost us like they did vs Florida State. Might be close for a half.

They scraped together 7 hits yesterday. Strasburgh has a pedestrian 4.40 ERA in 8 starts vs Cincy. A 4.50 in 2 starts last year. Luis Castillo was pretty impressive as a rookie last year. A 3.12 ERA in 15 starts (3-7 record) with a 1.07 WHIP and .202 BA against. He gave up 5 runs in 11 innings while striking out 11 in his 2 starts vs Nats last year.

Both teams in rebuild, but Sox already with a year under their belts and the players ready to move into to the next step. KC lost Hosmer and Cain in the off-season, and now Perez to an injury.
