This is a play on the TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE for our CBB NIT Dominator. We were totally wrong with Illinois St. on Thursday as it could not counter the Auburn athleticism but Tulsa does have that to match the Tigers. The Golden Hurricane have three victories of five points or less in the NIT and that will keep the betting off of them but they have the ability to hang in this one. Auburn was 20-3 this season when posting Defensive Efficiency of less than 120, per KenPom but when it was above that mark, Auburn was 1-13. Tulsa comes in No. 40 in Offensive Efficiency with a rating of above that magic number of 120.5. Auburn gave up 10 three-pointers in the game against Illinois State on Thursday night. Through four NIT games, Auburn’s opponents are shooting 41.7 percent from deep which is well above the national average. Tulsa ranks No. 12 nationally in three-point percentage. The Golden Hurricane have hit double-digit three-pointers in 11 out of its last 14 games. Tulsa is 17-1 this season following a game where it covers the number. 10* (655) Tulsa Golden Hurricane

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Minnesota has lost two straight games, both on the road at Philadelphia and Detroit and the Timberwolves are back home where they are 25-14 and a win here will all but lock up the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference as they have a four-game lead over Phoenix to avoid the Play In Tournament. Anthony Edwards is on the injury report again and that likely will be the case the rest of the season but he has gone two of the last three games after missing two weeks and the last game against the Sixers was a disaster as he was 3-15 from the floor so he will be itching to make up for that one. Charlotte continues to roll along as it has won three straight games and has moved to a game and a half behind Toronto for the No. 6 spot but it does have the Sixers in front as well. Minnesota is 12-2 straight up and ATS after a game of scoring 105 points or fewer. 10* (512) Minnesota Timberwolves

This is a play on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS as part of our MLB Sunday Double Play. Foster Griffin is coming off a successful first start as he limited the Phillies to five hits and two runs in five innings while striking out five and walking none. He has another tough matchup but the unknown is the benefit early in the season. After sporadic stints out of the bullpen in 2020 and 2022, he spent the last three years with the Yomiuri Giants (NPB), featuring a 7-pitch mix headlined by a strong changeup and high-90s command and that was clearly on display last week. We will fade Roki Sasaki again as he was limited to four innings against the Guardians and while he wasn’t horrible, he was far from excellent. 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 with his 1.3% K:BB% being one of the worst in the league. 10* (902) Washington Nationals

This is a play on the COLORADO ROCKIES as part of our MLB Sunday Double Play. The Phillies come in on a four-game winning streak as they have taken the first two games of this series by allowing only one run in each of those games and this is the spot to fade as we saw it last season going against teams closing a Sunday series in Colorado. Taijuan Walker is coming off a forgettable season debut as he allowed seven runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out only two in 4.2 innings against the Nationals. He split time in the bullpen and in the rotation last season and in 37 starts from 2024 to 2026, he has a 5.63 ERA and a -0.3 WAR, the only start in the negative. Tomoyuki Sugano had a successful debut with the Rockies as he allowed one run on two hits over 4.1 innings against the Blue Jays. The Coors Field debut can be stressful but he has great command and limiting baserunners at this venue is obviously key. 10* (904) Colorado Rockies

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS as part of our MLB Saturday Double Play. The Mariners took the opener of this series 3-1 in extra innings to improve to 4-4 and now is the time to go against them. Emerson Hancock is coming off the best start we have seen thus far as he tossed six no-hit innings against the Guardians and the line will be big backing him again here. He was not great in the rotation last season with a 5.29 ERA while pitching to a 5.69 xERA and his projections coming in were not great. He is in the rotation in place of Bryce Miller and has a sneaky tough matchup. The Angels are 3-5 with the offense having done nothing of late with just seven runs scored in their last four games which adds to the contrarian value. Jack Kochanowicz had a rough go of it on the road at Houston in his opener and he is home where he was much better compared to his 1-7 record and 7.42 ERA on the road last season. 10* (966) Los Angeles Angels

This is a play on the CINCINNATI REDS as part of our MLB Saturday Double Play. We were on the Reds last night and will be again here as there is good value as they improved to 4-3 and send out Rhett Lowder for his second start of the season. After missing nearly all of 2025 due to forearm and oblique injuries, he entered 2026 spring training as a frontrunner for a rotation spot and he had a great first start as he allowed two runs in five innings against the Red Sox. He has carried this over from last season where he posted a 1.17 ERA in six starts and he is a top four prospect that continues to gain traction. The Rangers are also 4-3 and send Kumar Rocker out for his season debut and he is a fade at this point. He posted a 5.74 ERA and 5.79 xERA in 12 starts last season and while his projections show improvements, he is not going to be stretched out early as he is being brought back slow from Tommy John surgery. 10* (977) Cincinnati Reds

This is a play on the ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI for our Final four Dominator. Many will point to Connecticut and Dan Hurley for being NCAA Tournament dominators which they certainly have been but they are obviously fortunate to be here. There will also be the argument of the Huskies winning the regular season meeting over Illinois as they took that game by 13 points but that was in late November and this Illinois team is different since then. Keaton Wagler played only 14 minutes and scored just three points and he has now been the focal part of the offense. The Illini have lost only two games in regulation since that defeat from the Huskies as they have four overtime losses and have matchup edges this time around. Illinois does not turn the ball over as it is No. 10 in Turnover Rate and can dominate a game on the offensive glass where they are No. 3 especially against a Connecticut defense that can be a bit susceptible to second-chance opportunities. The line is telling of a No. 3 favored over a No. 2 and the No. 2 that has been dominant in these spots. 10* (649) Illinois Fighting Illini

This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Star Attraction. We were on Brooklyn last Sunday as they took out Sacramento by 17 points and then gave it right back to Charlotte two nights later in a 31-point loss. The injury situation is more favorable as Noah Clowney has been upgraded to probable which helps the frontcourt depth which is needed against this team. The Nets are now catching a huge number again and they are 15-9 ATS in their 24 games this season after scoring fewer than 100 points. We are going contrarian here in fading the Hawks which are coming off a decisive win over Orlando which came after a revenge win over Boston. This is the sandwich spot as Atlanta has a rough road ahead with the Knicks, Cavaliers and Heat on deck. Here, we play against favorites of 10 or more points after beating the spread by 54 or more points total in their last ten games going up against an opponent after going under the total by 48 or more points total in their last ten games. this situation is 35-7 ATS (83.3 percent) since 2017. 10* (550) Brooklyn Nets

This is a play on the COLORADO ROCKIES as part of our MLB Friday Double Play. Colorado took two of three against Toronto to close its opening roadtrip and has its home opener today in a great value spot. Michael Lorenzen had a rough opener against Miami as he allowed three runs on seven hits in 4.1 innings and despite being in Coors Field, this is the time to back with the weather in his favor. Last season with Kansas City, he had a 4.64 ERA and he will be a matchup-based option in fantasy baseball due to home run volatility. The Phillies are 3-3 as they split their homestand series with the Rangers and Nationals and are not the surprising big favorite with Aaron Nola on the hill. He had an awful 2025 season where he missed all of June and July and struggled in his opener as well. He is now on the road where he was 0-6 with a 7.01 ERA in eight starts last season and this is not the same as he was a few years ago. 10* (904) Colorado Rockies

This is a play on the CINCINNATI REDS as part of our MLB Friday Double Play. Texas is off to a successful start as it won both series in Philadelphia and Baltimore and is now an overpriced favorite that opened where it should have but has gone up considerably. Mackenzie Gore is in his first season in Texas after a volatile tenure in Washington and he will get his first taste of Globe Life Field in a hitter's environment. He faded down the stretch last season and had a decent start in his opener as he allowed two runs in 5.1 innings against the Phillies and his expectations are juicing him up here. Brady Singer struggled in his opener against Boston as his command was off with a 40-34 strike-ball ratio. After seeing his ground ball rate drop to a career-low 39% in 2025, a key focus for 2026 is returning to his career average of 47.2% and that is going to work out with a revamped slider. He posted a 4.03 ERA and 1.24 WHIP last season. 10* (921) Cincinnati Reds

This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS for our MLB Underdog Dominator. San Francisco took two of three in San Diego following getting swept at home against the Yankees as the offense caught a little life but remains a concern and the line is showing that. 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 even though that was not shown in his opener as he tossed 5.1 innings of shutout baseball. The Mets come in 3-3 after winning their series against Pittsburgh before losing their second series in St. Louis. The offense on this side is a concern as well and they face Robbie Ray who was decent against the Yankees as he allowed two runs in 5.1 innings as it was one pitch to Aaron Judge that did the two-run damage. He posted a 3.65 ERA and 3.68 xERA and during spring training, he reported a major delivery breakthrough, identifying a hip-dipping issue that had plagued him since his 2023 Tommy John surgery. 10* (954) San Francisco Giants

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Star Attraction. The Lakers are obviously playing their best basketball of the season as they have won four straight games, 13 of 14 and 16 of their last 18 games and remain in third place in the Western Conference. They are back on the road where they are 24-14 which is the fifth best road record in the NBA and they are 3-1 both straight up and ATS on the road when coming off a three-game or longer homestand. Going back to last season, the Lakers are 30-13 following a double-digit win. Oklahoma City is also playing at an elite level as it has won 20 of its last 23 games and it has needed this run to stay in front of San Antonio as it has a two-game lead over the Spurs so every game is big as well. The Thunder are overpriced as usual as they are 4-12 ATS over their last 16 games. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a home no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite going up against an opponent off a home win. This situation is 41-15 ATS (73.2 percent) since 2022. 10* (537) Los Angeles Lakers
