    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 Tuesday, June 1

    Zack opens with a look at the Blue Jays returning to Buffalo, and Larry spotlights the NBA, focusing on Anthony Davis' injury impact and series prices for Lakers-Suns, Blazers-Nuggets and Clippers-Mavericks. 

    The Coach supplies the SportsLine Plays of the Day from the site models and experts. He endorses the pick of the Nets -12.5 over the Celtics at 7:30 p.m. ET as Brooklyn should finish off the series in convincing fashion. In MLB, he backs the selection of the Reds -105 over the Phillies at 7:10 p.m. ET, as Philadelphia's offense is sagging and Cincinnati is a strong play at home. 

    The first of two MLB picks from Mike is the White Sox +143 over the Indians at 8:10 p.m. ET. Dylan Cease is actually on equal footing with Shane Bieber so far this season, and that is not good news for the Cleveland lineup. He is also on the Nationals and Braves Over 8.5 runs at 7:20 p.m. ET, as it should be a great hitting environment in Atlanta.  

    Zack revisits the Blue Jays for his featured MLB selection, taking Toronto -153 over Miami at 7:07 p.m. ET. This should be a very friendly matchup for Robbie Ray. In the NBA playoffs, he is highly recommending the Nuggets -2 over the Blazers at 9 p.m. ET. "You always have to be careful not to overreact in the playoffs to a bad loss," he says of Denver after Game 4. "It was really just a slight adjustment by the Portland Trail Blazers. They made Damian Lillard more of a facilitator, and that worked, but I don't see that working for another game. I expect the Denver Nuggets to make the proper adjustments and Mike Malone will get them the win."

    Larry provides us with a deluxe package of picks, starting with two MLB props. He likes Cease against Cleveland and Chris Bassitt in A's-Mariners at 10:10 p.m. ET, both to go Over 5.5 strikeouts. Those two starters are coming off strong outings and have favorable umpiring assignments behind home plate. He is also taking the Rockies -110 for the first five innings over the Rangers and Dane Dunning at 8:40 p.m. ET. Larry's highlighted NBA prop is Deandre Ayton Over 26.5 points and rebounds.
