Jonathan Coachman is joined by top sports betting experts Mike McClure, Allan Bell and Zack Cimini on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get the best plays for the NBA Finals, MLB, Euro 2020 and the PGA for Tuesday, July 6.

Mike tells us of a very compelling showdown that we may be headed for in Wimbledon. Allan then checks in on the skidding Chicago Cubs. Zack tells us how to take advantage of Khris Middleton as a prop play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. 

The Coach then delivers the SportsLine Plays of the Day from the site models and experts. In Euro 2020, he is backing the picks of both Italy and Spain to score at -110 and Italy draw, no bet at -150 in a 3 p.m. ET matchup. In the Match 2021, the Coach supplies his own play of Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady at +138, calling the selection "a layup."

In Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Bucks and Suns at 9 p.m. ET, Allan is taking Phoenix Over 112.5 points. "The Suns have scored 120-plus points in both of their Game 1s the last two series," he says. "You look at the Suns and the Bucks in their last two previous games this season, the Suns scored 128 and 125 points. They are averaging 115.5 points per game at home this season."

Mike is taking Jrue Holiday Over 22.5 points. He expects a higher-scoring affair, and Holiday's recent production without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the mix confirms him as a strong prop play. In MLB, he goes with the Cubs and Phillies over 8.5 runs at 8:05 p.m. ET. The weather and weak bullpens are the primary factors in play. 

Zack is taking Milwaukee +6 over Phoenix. The Suns tend to lean more heavily on their youth in terms of depth, while the Bucks could have an edge with their veterans in that regard. He is also on Bobby Portis Over 25.5 points and rebounds. He says Portis a high-impact player when he gets increased minutes. The Coach then closes on an important note on how the NBA Finals scheduling could favor Milwaukee.
