    Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Mavericks and Warriors is from San Francisco tonight, and Coach is leaning Over 214 points -- Golden State's Game 1 blowout stayed well under a similar number: "The Mavericks cannot play any worse than they did in Game 1 and Luka Doncic certainly will play better. They've gotta score to keep up, and Luka can't be dribbling the ball all day." The Over is 8-3 in Dallas' past 11 on the road and 7-3 in Golden State's past 10 following a win. 

    From Major League Baseball, Mike notes some interesting weather around the country, including winds blowing out in Chicago for the Diamondbacks-Cubs matinee and 30-degree temperatures and likely snow in Colorado as the Rockies host the Mets... if the game is played. Mike's official play is Cardinals Over team total of 4.5 runs in Pittsburgh, another place with good hitting conditions today due to hot temperatures: "Taking advantage of the weather and a good team on the road with that guaranteed ninth inning at-bat. Top prospect Nolan Gorman has been called up for the Cardinals and should make his debut -- love adding his left-handed bat in the middle of that lineup. We expect the Cardinals to score at least five runs."

    Soccer-wise, Martin is taking a weekend English Premier League/Serie A parlay of Manchester City, Liverpool, AC Milan and Inter all to win at +130. From the Bundesliga, "Buckets" Eimer is on SC Freiburg vs. RB Leipzig with both to score at -130.

    From the PGA Championship, the Jeweler likes Rory McIlroy head-to-head in Round 2 over playing partners Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods at +110. They tee off late this afternoon from Tulsa.
