Jonathan Coachman is joined by expert sports bettors Justin Perri and Larry Hartstein on the Early Edge podcast. They give you their best bets for Major League Baseball, the NBA and Euro 2020 for Sunday, June 27.
Hartstein starts things off with the first of five SportsLine Plays of the Day - Milwaukee's Brook Lopez Over 11.5 points (-105) when the Bucks face the Hawks (8:30 p.m. ET). Coach reveals the other four SportsLine Plays of the Day, all of which are in Euro 2020. The first two come from the Netherlands-Czech Republic match (noon ET): Netherlands to win (-143) and to go Over 1.5 goals (-125).
The other two come from the Belgium-Portugal match (3 p.m. ET): Both teams to score (-125) and the total to go Over 2.5 goals (+105).
Perri has three picks, all in MLB. The first is Over 9.5 runs (-115) in the Braves-Reds game (1:10 p.m. ET). "Great American Ball Park is one of the best places to hit in baseball," Perri says. "(Actually had four straight Unders cash at this park, which is very uncharacteristic."
His second play is Under 7.5 runs (-115) in the Phillies-Mets game (1:10 p.m. ET). "Both pitchers have been incredible," Perri says. "(New York's Marcus) Stroman's only allowed two home runs in seven starts at (Citi Field), so I do think this one stays Under."
Perri's final play is the Angels (+130) to beat the Rays (1:10 p.m. ET). "I'm going to fade (Tampa Bay's) Ryan Yarbrough," he says. "He has a pretty bad ERA at home, which is a plus positive pitching environment for him."
Hartstein has two plays, also in MLB. The first is Under 6.5 strikeouts (-115) for Boston's Eduardo Rodriguez in the Yankees-Red Sox game (1:10 p.m. ET). "He did get seven against the Yankees last time," Hartstein says. "But the Yankees are not striking out a lot - last five games, much lower strikeout rate. And I think we have the right umpire (today)."
Larry's second play is the Giants (-125) to beat the Athletics (4:05 p.m. ET). "I'm just going to ride these Giants," he says. "(They're) 26-10 at home, they've won nine of their last 10."
