Coach starts things off with two SportsLine plays of the day. The first is the White Sox (-105) to beat the Mariners (7:10 p.m. ET). "The White Sox are already 75 percent straight-up in all of their games this season," he says. "Short sample size, but that's still a fact."

The second play is Under 236 points in the Hornets-Hawks play-in game (7 p.m. ET). "This is a robust total for technically a playoff game," Coach says.

Eimer has two soccer plays. The first is Both Teams To Score: Yes (-135) in the Liverpool-Benfica Champions League match (3 p.m. ET). "With the star striking power of Darwin Nuñez, Benfica has the ability to score," he says.

He also likes PFC Ludogorets (-150) to beat Levski in the first leg of the Bulgarian Cup semifinal (12 p.m. ET). "[Ludogorets] have beaten [Levski] seven times in a row in their last seven head-to-head matches," he says.

Green also has two soccer plays. The first is Manchester City (-125) to beat Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal (3 p.m. ET). "A draw would be enough for [Manchester City] to qualify for the next round, but it's dangerous to play for a draw when you're on the road," he says.

He also likes Liverpool to win halftime and full time (-125) against Benfica. "Liverpool will be keen to wrap up victory as quickly as possible," he says. "They have another huge game on Saturday against Man City in the FA Cup semifinals."

Selesnick loves one player prop from the NBA: Jakob Poeltl to have Over 10.5 combined rebounds and assists (-132) against the Pelicans (9:30 p.m. ET). "When he has played at least 30 minutes, he has eclipsed this line in 29 of 31 games this season," he says.

Hartstein closes out the show with a play from Major League Baseball: the Cubs (-125) to beat the Pirates (12:35 p.m. ET). "They have beaten the Pirates 10 out of the last 11 times," he says.
