MLB | Cleveland 9 @ Seattle 4 | 04/01 | 2:10 AM UTC

Cleveland +140

WIN

ANALYSIS: I like the value on the Guardians here. Cleveland should bounce back after being shutout last night, and while Jose Ramirez has struggled against Seattle starter Robbie Ray, the contact profile of the rest of Cleveland's hitters against him is encouraging.

+355 3-0 IN LAST 3 MLB PICKS

CBB | Miami 59 @ UConn 72 | 04/02 | 1:16 AM UTC

UConn -5.5

WIN

ANALYSIS: The four teams in the Final Four are better than their seeds indicated all along, but UConn is still the best team of the group by far. While Miami is capable of beating anybody if it hits threes, UConn's size advantage will provide a lot of problems for the Hurricanes in this matchup. The way I see it, Miami either pulls off a slim upset or loses by double-digits, and the latter happens more often.

CBB | FAU 71 @ San Diego St. 72 | 04/01 | 10:09 PM UTC

UNDER 131.5

LOSS

ANALYSIS: San Diego State has been one of the best three-point defenses in the country all season, and it's taken things to another level in the tournament. FAU is overly reliant on threes to score points. I don't see a lot of value on the spread, but no matter the result, I don't see this game being a high-scoring affair.

+90 2-1 IN LAST 3 CBB O/U PICKS

NBA | Atlanta 107 @ Brooklyn 124 | 03/31 | 11:30 PM UTC

Brooklyn +1.5 -109

WIN

ANALYSIS: The Hawks have been one of the worst bets in the league all season, and they've been particularly bad as road favorites. Considering how awful their defense has been this month, that makes it even more difficult to trust them as a road favorite against a Brooklyn team that's done a decent job treading water since being dismantled.

+489 6-1 IN LAST 7 ATL ATS PICKS
+600 6-0 IN LAST 6 BKN ATS PICKS

MLB | Colorado 7 @ San Diego 2 | 03/31 | 1:40 AM UTC

OVER 7 -115

WIN

ANALYSIS: Nothing about this matchup has me expecting a low-scoring game. Blake Snell allows a lot of hard flyball contact while Colorado's German Marquez doesn't miss many bats, and allows dingers at an alarming rate. All that combined with a San Diego lineup that should be one of the best in baseball has me believing this total is overly pessimistic.
