Today's picks: Why Indians will cover vs. White Sox, plus more MLB, NBA and NHL bets for Monday

Jonathan Coachman is joined by top sports betting experts Mike McClure and Larry Hartstein on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. The crew shares their winning picks for MLB, the NBA and NHL for Monday, April 12. 

During the NBA regular season stretch run, injuries are becoming much more significant, and Mike has all the important updates you need to take note of. He focuses on a short-handed Lakers squad against the Knicks, the thinned Magic and Rockets, the Nets, and much more. He provides key info on pivotal performers such as Tobias Harris, Kristaps Porzingis and Bradley Beal. Larry then weighs in on the factors he is considering as he looks ahead to a Russell Westbrook prop play. 

The Coach serves up the SportsLine Play of the Day in the NHL, backing the Jets -175 over the Senators at 7 p.m. ET. Winnipeg is seeking a fourth consecutive victory. 

Mike steps into the batter's box with the first MLB pick of the show, going with Cleveland +120 over the Chicago White Sox at 8:10 p.m. ET. "The White Sox are likely going to be overvalued in some situations this season. There's a lot of hype around the team and a lot of expectations," he says. "Triston McKenzie is a legitimate ace in terms of strikeout upside. I like him long term. I'm very bullish on him. We're talking about an elite starting pitcher here. We know Cleveland is very good at producing these kinds of starting pitchers." Mike is also recommending Under 9.5 runs when Oakland faces Arizona at 9:40 p.m. ET. He likes the pitching matchup and there are holes in the Diamondbacks lineup. 

Larry is going for two Kevin Porter Jr. props in Rockets-Suns at 10 p.m. ET. He is taking Porter at Over 3.5 rebounds and Over 8.5 rebounds/assists. He says it has taken Porter awhile to find his way, but he now has the opportunities to post quality totals. in MLB, Larry is on the Cardinals -140 over the Nationals at 7:45 p.m. ET. The Nationals come in on a losing streak with a shaky starting pitcher on the hill.  

The Coach then finishes up with a "Double Dog Parlay of the Day" in Major League Baseball.
