Coach starts things off with the SportsLine play of the day, courtesy of Jon (Buckets) Eimer: Both Teams To Score: Yes (-115) in the Bragantino-Flamengo match (7:30 p.m. ET). "Both teams in league play are averaging at least one goal scored," Coach says.
McClure has one play, from MLB: Blue Jays Team Total Over 4.5 runs (-115) against the Royals (2:10 p.m. ET). "[Kansas City starter Brady Singer] is getting barreled up at a ridiculous rate," he says.
Coach then gives two Cash with Coach plays. The first is Over 9 runs (-103) in the Cubs-Orioles game (7:05 p.m. ET). "This is a sneaky bad pitching matchup," he says. "Both pitchers absolutely gave up a ton of runs in their last outing."
He also likes Over 9.5 runs (-117) in the Reds-Diamondbacks game (6:40 p.m. ET). "The Reds have been an Over machine," he says.
Cimini has one play, from Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Warriors and Celtics (9 p.m. ET): Over 8.5 points (+100) for Golden State's Draymond Green. "He's going to take his shots," he says. "He's not afraid to shoot the ball."
Barner closes out the show with two plays from the NBA Finals. The first is the Celtics (-3.5) to cover. "The Warriors have not been good on the road in the playoffs," he says. "They are just 2-5 against the spread."
