Jonathan Coachman is joined by fellow sports betting experts Mike McClure, Zack Cimini and Larry Hartstein on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get your best plays for MLB, the NBA playoffs and Euro 2020 for Tuesday, June 15  

Zack leads off by telling us why he is avoiding an Angels-A's play for Tuesday. Larry then talks about James Harden being upgraded to doubtful for Game 5 of Nets-Bucks. The Coach adds his insights on how the Brooklyn injuries have impacted the odds for the series. 

The Coach shares the SportsLine Plays of the Day from the site models and experts, including Martin Green's Euro 2020 selection of France on the two-way money line at -120 over Germany at 3 p.m. ET. In the NBA Playoffs, new handicapper "Mad Max" is taking Blake Griffin Over 17.5 points and rebounds in Nets-Bucks at 8:30 p.m. ET, as he will be needed to step forward because of the Nets' health issues. 

It is time for Eduardo Rodriguez to get back on track, and that is why Mike is taking the Red Sox +105 over the Braves at 7:20 p.m. ET. "Eduardo Rodriguez is one of the biggest regression candidates to the positive in MLB so far," he says. "His actual wOBA is .351. All the expected numbers leave him down right around .300, which is going to put him above average in terms of MLB starting pitchers. The expected numbers look great."

Mike adds that Atlanta may be without one of their best hitters, and Tucker Davidson could be headed for a rough outing because of low strikeout numbers against right-handed hitters. "Tucker Davidson has been great vs. left-handed hitters so far, but I think we need to pump the brakes on celebrating his success."

Mike is also taking the White Sox and Rays to go Over eight runs at 8:10 p.m. ET. Shane McLanahan has not pitched much on the road and Dallas Keuchel is due for a blowup. 

Zack is also going against Keuchel, taking the Rays at +101. Tampa Bay has been sizzling hot on the road. He is also taking the Cubs +135 over the Mets at 7:10 p.m. ET. Taijuan Walker has been a great acquisition for New York, but Zack indicates why Chicago may have his number. 

Larry's featured NBA Playoff prop is Brook Lopez Over 6.5 rebounds, as the Milwaukee center has easily soared past the number in the last two games. in MLB, he is taking the Indians -1.5 over the Orioles at 7:10 p.m. ET, as Baltimore has been terrible on the road and Matt Harvey has been awful overall.
