Jonathan Coachman calls up his favorite sports betting experts Mike McClure, Zack Cimini and Larry Hartstein on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get the prime plays for MLB, the NBA playoffs and Euro 2020 for Wednesday, June 16.   

The Early Edge crew reacts to the Kawhi Leonard news, as Zack says the pressure is on Paul George to carry the Clippers much like Kevin Durant did with the Nets on Tuesday, and Mike takes an in-depth look at the line movement. Larry then considers the potential status of James Harden for Game 6 of Nets-Bucks. 

The Coach delivers the SportsLine Plays of the Day, leading with more Euro 2020 picks from Martin Green. In Turkey-Wales at noon ET, he is taking the teams to go Over 1.5 goals and for both squads to score at +110. Green is also taking Italy win to nil over Switzerland at +121 at 3 p.m. ET. The MLB Play of the Day is the Giants -157 over the Diamondbacks at 9:45 p.m. ET after San Francisco pulled off a rousing comeback win on Tuesday. 

Mike is leaning on both Chicago teams to come through on Wednesday. He is on the White Sox -1.5 over the Rays at 2:10 p.m. ET. He spotlights the stark splits of Ryan Yarbrough that point to a very rough outing. Mike is going against Jacob deGrom with the Cubs on the run line at +1.5 over the Mets at 7:05 p.m. ET. Robert Stock will enjoy a great pitching environment as he faces a mediocre lineup in his Cubs debut. 

Trae Young has the Hawks playing with a lot of confidence, and Zack is confident in Atlanta too, as he recommends the Hawks at +6 over the Sixers at 7:30 p.m. ET. "I think Philadelphia got themselves in trouble letting off the gas in Game 4," he says. "The 76ers literally controlled the series from the second half of Game 1 to midway through the third quarter of Game 4. Trae Young had 18 assists in Game 4 and the Hawks shot 36 percent from the field. I think they are going to have an uptick in offense, especially on the road, where they have played much better in the postseason."

Larry is taking aim at the Orioles again, because they have been so awful on the road this year. He is all over Cleveland -157 over Baltimore at 7:10 p.m. ET.
