The Coach is joined by top sports betting experts Mike McClure, Zack Cimini and Larry Hartstein on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get your top plays for MLB and the NBA and NHL for Wednesday, June 2.
The Coach delivers the SportsLine Plays of the Day from the site models and experts, highlighting the NHL playoff pick of the well-rested Jets at -140 over the Canadiens at 7:30 p.m. ET. In the NBA playoffs, he is recommending the selection of the Wizards +6 vs. the Sixers at 7 p.m. ET. Joel Embiid's knee injury has suddenly changed the dynamic of the series.
Mike has a pair of featured MLB plays and offers a comprehensive breakdown of his approach to taking Over 10 in Nationals-Braves at 7:20 p.m. ET. Both of the highly vulnerable starting pitchers are in for down outings in a great hitting environment. The same reasoning is true in Twins-Orioles Over 9.5 at 7:05 p.m. ET, where the wind will be blowing out as well.
A duo of NBA selections are supplied by Zack, as he is on the Mavericks +7 vs. the Clippers at 10 p.m. ET. He believes Dallas is very confident heading into another game at Los Angeles. The Coach, however, disagrees, and launches into a side bet with Zack. The second pick for Zack is the Hawks +1.5 vs. the Knicks. He says this series has already been close to an Atlanta sweep and the Hawks will close it out with another strong fourth quarter.
Larry is heading back to Colorado (PK) to win against the skidding Texas Rangers again in MLB at 8:40 p.m. ET. His top NBA playoff prop play is Rui Hachimura Over 20.5 points, assists and rebounds. The loss of Davis Bertans means Hachimura must play a bigger role on offense. "There is no Davis Bertans, and he jacks up a ton of shots and plays a lot of minutes. So Hachimura played 42 minutes in the last game, and I think he gets another 40," he says. "Without Embiid on the floor it's also a faster pace, so I really love this prop."
