This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Atlanta had won 14 of 15 games before going to Boston last week and after opening up with a 24-9 lead, the Hawks eventually let it all go and lost 109-102 and there was a 27-point swing involved in there. The Hawks have overtaken the Magic in the Southeast Division as they have a 2.5-game lead after Orlando lost by 52-points and they are currently in the No. 6 spot in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta is back home for some revenge where it is just 22-16 but has won 11 straight games and overall on the season, the Hawks are 13-2 following a double-digit home win. Boston has won three straight games that included a home win over Oklahoma City prior to the Hawks victory and the Celtics are coming off a 15-point win at Charlotte yesterday. It is a short sample size but Boston is 0-2 ATS on the road following a road win as an underdog. 10* (560) Atlanta Hawks

This is a play on the ATHLETICS as part of our MLB Monday Double Play. The Braves lost their first game on Sunday 4-1 and have still allowed only six runs but now we hit the bottom of the rotation. Bryce Elder had a 5.30 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 28 starts and while there is positive projection expected with his ERA, it really cannot be any worse, and his WHIP is anticipated to remain right in line with last season. To his credit, he finished strong in 2025 with a 2.82 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over his final seven starts but there remains the big concern of a 4.54 FIP and 1.4 HR/9 over the last two seasons as the long ball has hurt him his whole career. The Athletics were swept in Toronto as the offense could not get going with a .218 OBP and a 45.5% K% but that gets better. Jacob Lopez had a breakout 2025 campaign where he posted a 4.08 ERA and ranked 8th in the majors in K/9 (10.97) among pitchers with at least 90 innings. 10* (921) Athletics

This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS as part of our MLB Monday Double Play. We will fade Roki Sasaki at prices like this until we see something positive. After missing most of 2025 with a right shoulder impingement, Sasaki returned late in the year as a reliever after eight starts which were nothing special with a 4.72 ERA and a 6.39 xERA. His fastball velocity, which averaged 96.1 mph in 2025 was well below his peak Japanese NPB levels of 99–102 mph. He had a horrible 1.3% K:BB% in those starts and this spring, it was an even worse -0.57. While we do not take spring stats into too much consideration, his were beyond bad. Parker Messick was a late season callup last season and he shined with a 2.72 ERA in seven starts and while there is expected negative regression, that is inevitable and it is not a big one. He had a 47.9% groundball rate and 3.6% walk rate and is coming off a great spring to solidify a starting spot. 10* (929) Cleveland Guardians

This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. We are involved in one of the uglier matchups on the Sunday card and we are backing Brooklyn which is in the much better spot. The Nets have lost 10 straight games but nine of those were against teams heading to the postseason with the lone exception being a loss at Sacramento so it sets up a revenge spot. They are back home following a four-game west coast roadtrip to start a six-game homestand so there should be some extra juice for a team that is much healthier on top of it. The Kings have lost three straight games but covered the last two against Orlando and Atlanta and while they take a step down here, they come in as the favorite. This is just the second time after having lost at Washington last month. Here, we play against teams off a road cover where the team lost straight up as an underdog going up against an opponent off three or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 27-9 (75 percent) since 2017. 10* (546) Brooklyn Nets

This is a play on the CONNECTICUT HUSKIES for our Elite 8 Game of the Year. After its game with Michigan back on February 21, Connecticut will be the far toughest challenge for the Duke offense, as the Huskies are No. 9 in Defensive Efficiency Rating and it has played that role over the last two victories against UCLA and Michigan St. Connecticut nearly blew a 19-point lead against the Spartans but held on for the four-point win as the experience was a big factor as well and we expect that to be a big advantage here as well. The injuries for Duke are getting the press but it is Huskies point guard Silas Demary that has been arguably more important as he was hurt in the St. John’s game and missed the opener against Furman but he returned for the last two games and while he did not light up the stat sheet, his defensive presence is huge. Duke point guard Caleb Foster was a surprise addition against St. John’s and he had a huge second half to cement its comeback. He is not 100 percent and playing on Sunday off a Friday night game will be tough. Talent wise, the Blue Devils have the edge but the Huskies match up well and as mentioned, the experience edge cannot be overstated and given the slow tempo of both teams, points will be at a premium. 10* (633) Connecticut Huskies

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TWINS as part of our MLB Afternoon Double Play. The Orioles are overpriced yet again despite possessing an offense that has scored only three runs through the first two games. Bailey Ober had his struggles last season with a 5.10 ERA and 1.30 WHIP as he was hampered by a hip impingement and was clearly not right. After working with a hip specialist in the offseason, Ober reported feeling fully recovered and optimistic about his mechanics for the 2026 season. His projections are tossing around 160 innings with an ERA in the low 4.00s and a WHIP near 1.21. Shane Baz counters for Baltimore in his first season with the Orioles after coming over from Tampa Bay in the offseason and many are projecting a breakout but we have to see something first. There is expected to be positive regression from his 4.87 ERA last season with a solid spring overvaluing expectations. 10* (957) Minnesota Twins

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS as part of our MLB Afternoon Double Play. Kansas City has been handcuffed in two games at Atlanta as the Royals have scored only two runs but they have their best matchup of the series on Sunday. Seth Lugo had a career best season in 2024 but he regressed last season with a 4.15 ERA but he was hampered by a back injury as he ended up missing the final month. He is healthy and has also reportedly worked on a new slider grip, which showed a velocity increase of roughly 2 mph. He looked great in the spotlight in the WBC with four scoreless innings. Grant Holmes was average last season with a 4.03 ERA and 1.35 WHIP and he returns from a partially torn UCL which is certainly not ideal. After opting for rest and rehab over surgery, he came into the spring unsure of a starting spot but he was solid and it helped Spencer Strider and Spencer Schwellenbach are not healthy. 10* (967) Kansas City Royals

This is a play on the PURDUE BOILERMAKERS for our CBB Tourney Dominator. Arizona looks unbeatable at this point as it rolled over Arkansas by 21 points despite only five made three-pointers as the Wildcats shot 64 percent from two and while Purdue is no defensive juggernaut, it presents the biggest test Arizona has seen thus far in the tournament. The Boilermakers are not going to stop Arizona but they can force the Wildcats into their game as tempo will play a role and Purdue will want to slow it down as it is No. 325 in Adjusted Tempo. On the other side, the Wildcats have shown an elite defense but now they face the No. 1 team in the country in Offensive Efficiency. Purdue should have been able to pull away from Texas but the Longhorns were 11-25 from long range while the Boilermakers were just 4-20. They are No. 11 in Three-Point Percentage and a key here is Braden Smith who is hitting just 23 percent over his last seven games. Still, he has given his team high-quality looks and Purdue should give Arizona all it can handle with winning outright not out of the question. 10* (631) Purdue Boilermakers

This is a play on the ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS as part of our MLB Evening Double Play. Eduardo Rodriguez was a highly touted prospect but he has been plagued by injuries and his 5.02 ERA last season was indicative of that. He is on a path for positive progression in the 4.15–4.45 ERA range as long as he remains healthy which is where he is now. His velocity is up and that can be attributed to arriving at spring training around 25 pounds lighter that last year so he could be prime for a breakout and his performance in the WBC showed his electricity. On the flip side, Tyler Glasnow added weight in the offseason to try and improve his durability and physical foundation as injuries have been an issue. He is healthy now so there are no worries but he is overpriced in this spot. He is coming off a season where he had a 3.19 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with a 17.2% K:BB. He is project for negative regression with an ERA between 3.40 and 3.90. 10* (907) Arizona Diamondbacks

This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX as part of our MLB Evening Double Play. Sean Burke is not a top of the line starter as he had a 4.59 ERA and 1.53 WHIP last season and his ERA is projected to be around the same while his WHIP should come down as his career walk rate has been awful and if he can keep the ball in the yard, his ERA should improve as well. He has a redesigned slider grip which will compliment his 95+ fastball as he made significant strides in that area as his seven feet of extension are a great asset to have. Chad Patrick was solid last season with a 3.50 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in 23 starts but most systems are forecasting an ERA between 4.30-4.47. We do not typically take spring training results into much consideration but he had a rough one, posting a 11.68 ERA and 2.11 WHIP over four appearances. In his final spring outing on March 22, he allowed seven runs in four innings against the Cubs. 10* (923) Chicago White Sox

This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. The Hornets came through on Thursday and this team is still being slept on. As mentioned, Charlotte opened the season 16-28 but then something clicked and the Hornets have gone 23-6 over their last 29 games. The win over the Knicks coupled with the Atlanta loss to Boston put Charlotte 1.5 games behind the Hawks in the Southeast Division while sitting two games behind Toronto to get out of the Play In Tournament but also have two other teams in front of them. Charlotte is 9-0 ATS this season at home off a home win winning by 19.0 ppg. Philadelphia welcomed back Joel Embiid and Paul George on Wednesday and it resulted in a 20-point win over Chicago as the Sixers put up 157 points, 63 points coming from the aforementioned duo. The issue is they allowed 137 points. Here, we play on teams after three straight wins by 10 points or more going up against an opponent after a combined score of 255 points or more. This situation is 42-14 (75 percent) since 1997. 10* (530) Charlotte Hornets

This is a play on the ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI for our CBB Tourney Enforcer. We have another game featuring a rematch as Illinois won the lone regular season meeting at Iowa by six point but the Illini were never threatened as they never trailed as they opened the game 8-0 and built an 18-point lead. Ben McCoullum will make adjustments and he does have the coaching edge over Brad Underwood but Illinois has too much going for it in this matchup. Illinois dominated what many thought was a sure Final Four team in Houston as its defense did the job. The offense did struggle but that was against the No. 4 rated defense and now they take a step down. The Hawkeyes are not good defensively as they are No. 32 in Defensive Efficiency. Iowa is No. 282 in 2P%, allowing 54.2 percent with a lot of that due to not generating blocks as the Hawkeyes are No. 330 in Block% and while their one huge strength is forcing turnovers where they are No. 16, Illinois turns the ball over as little as any team in the nation with a Turnover Rate of 13.1 percent, No. 10 in the country. 10* (630) Illinois Fighting Illini

This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PIRATES as part of our MLB Afternoon Double Play. Mitch Keller is coming off a solid season with a 4.19 ERA and 1.26 WHIP which has been right in line with his previous three seasons. Composite and individual systems suggest a performance consistent with those previous years, albeit with a slight concern over a declining strikeout rate. However, during Spring Training, he unveiled a redesigned grip for his changeup to reclaim the swing-and-miss profile he had during his 2023 season so it is not a velocity issue. David Peterson was somewhat of a disappointment with a 4.22 ERA and 1.37 WHIP and projections are slightly better but his 4.55 xERA from last season was a concern. This is where there is possible regression which is not good for the No. 2 starter and the season the xERA was high was due to his elite groundball rate and that should come more back to the median which is not good for him. 10* (905) Pittsburgh Pirates

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TWINS as part of our MLB Afternoon Double Play. Taj Bradley is being pegged as a sleeper breakout candidate as he has a new home after being traded at the deadline. Overall, he had a 5.05 ERA with most systems expecting an ERA in the 4.20–4.40 range over approximately 140 innings. He has elite raw stuff and the Rays gave up on him quickly as he is just 25 and the spring showed where things could go. His conditioning has improved and his fastball was averaging 97.0-97.7 mph in his spring starts, the highest of his career. Kyle Bradish is a wildcard as he posted a 2.53 ERA in six starts late in the season following Tommy John surgery. His projections are in the sub-4.00 ERA area and while there is upside from that, he is going to be stretched early as both Bradish and the Orioles have indicated there may be some innings limits or workload management early in the season. 10* (911) Minnesota Twins
