Today's picks: Why the Pelicans will cover vs. the Cavaliers and more NBA, Masters and MLB expert bets for Sunday, April 11

Jonathan Coachman is joined by top sports betting experts Mike McClure and Rick Gehman on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. They give you their best bets for the NBA, Masters and MLB for Sunday, April 11.

The Coach gets things started with the SportsLine Plays of the Day, with the first coming in MLB: the White Sox -130 over the Royals at 2:10 p.m. ET. The second is in the NBA: the Bulls (-4.5) over the Timberwolves at 8 p.m. ET. "The Bulls have been really good at times," he says. "The Timberwolves have been bad almost all of the time."

Gehman jumps in with two head-to-head plays from the Masters. The first is Xander Schauffele (-150) over Hideki Matsuyama (2:40 p.m. ET). "He's been known to chase down golfers over his career," he says of Schauffele. "This is the position he wants to be in."

His second play is Kevin Na (+130) over Patrick Reed (1:40 p.m. ET). "He has been well-rounded this week," Gehman says of Na. "He's a streaky golfer at plus money over Patrick Reed."

Coach adds a head-to-head play in the Masters: Cameron Smith (+138) over Justin Thomas (1 p.m. ET). "Cam Smith has been steady all week," he says. "I think he'll be steady today. I think Justin Thomas goes north."

McClure chimes in with a pair of plays, the first being the Pelicans (-6.5) over the Cavaliers (7 p.m. ET). "The Cavs got absolutely embarrassed last night on their home floor," he says. "I don't like them in this spot again."

He closes things out in MLB: the Tigers (+160) over the Indians (1:10 p.m. ET). "(Cleveland's) Logan Allen has been pretty good," McClure says. "However, this Tigers team is actually set up to hit left-handed pitching incredibly well."
