Jonathan Coachman is joined by top sports betting experts Larry Hartstein, Mike McClure and Zack Cimini on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get highlighted plays for the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup, Major League Baseball and tennis for Wednesday, June 15, and you can stream the show live every morning on the SportsLine YouTube page.

Hartstein starts things off with a tennis play from the Round of 16 at the Queen's Club Championships in London: Jack Draper (-156) to beat Emil Ruusuvuori (11:30 a.m. ET). "Emil Ruusuvuori: back-to-back three-set matches [and] has been on the court over six hours compared to just one hour [for Draper]," he says.

Coach then gives two SportsLine plays of the day. The first is the Mets (+105) to beat the Brewers (7:10 p.m. ET). "[Milwaukee starter Corbin Burnes] got knocked around a little bit his last time out," he says.

The second play is Over 6 goals in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Avalanche and Lightning (8 p.m. ET). "The Avalanche, all they do is score goals, but their defense is not great either," he says.

McClure has two plays from MLB. The first is the Padres Team Total to go Over 5.5 (-110) against the Cubs (8:05 p.m. ET). "We are taking advantage of the awesome hitting conditions at Wrigley," he says.

His second play is the Phillies (-0.5) to cover in the first five innings against the Marlins (1:05 p.m. ET). "[Philadelphia's] Kyle Gibson on the mound [is] going to shut the Marlins down just enough," he says.

Cimini's play comes from Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night (9 p.m. ET): the Celtics (-4) to cover against the Warriors. "[The Celtics] have not lost three straight games since the end of 2021," he says. 

He also likes a sprinkle on Jayson Tatum (+375) winning the Finals MVP. "This is his award to get if the Celtics finish off this series," he says.

Coach then chimes in with two Cash With Coach plays. The first is the Reds (+107) to beat the Diamondbacks (3:40 p.m. ET). "Luis Castillo: four starts away from home this year he has only allowed seven runs," he says.

His second play is a two-team parlay (+130): the Red Sox to beat the A's (7:10 p.m. ET) and the Dodgers to beat the Angels (10:10 p.m. ET). 

Hartstein closes out the show with one MLB play: the Braves (-1.5) to cover against the Nationals (7:05 p.m. ET). "The Braves have won 13 in a row," he says. "Eleven times they've covered the run line."
