MLB | A's vs Angels
Play on: Angels +115 at circa
Game Analysis

1* Free Pick on Angels +115

The market is pricing this like a coin flip with the Angels as small dogs, but the pitching matchup is closer than the surface ERAs suggest.

A's starter Aaron Civale carries a shiny 2.70 ERA into this one, but his xERA sits at 4.39.

That's a nearly two-run gap that says regression is overdue.

His last five starts back it up: 5 IP, 6 H against the Giants, 5 IP, 6 H against the Orioles, 6 IP, 7 H against Cleveland.

He's not missing bats either, with just 2 strikeouts in his most recent outing.

Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz is the obvious opposition point.

He's been hit hard, 12 earned runs over his last 10 innings, and his 5.53 xERA confirms the underlying numbers are ugly.

I'm not pretending that away.

But the A's lineup he's facing is missing Max Muncy and Jacob Wilson, two core infield bats, plus Denzel Clarke in center.

That's three regulars gone, and it takes a real bite out of the offense that just put up 14 on this team yesterday.

The head-to-head trend matters here.

The A's are 5-11 SU in their last 16 against the Angels.

This is a divisional spot where the Angels have historically played them well regardless of records.

Getting plus money on the home team with a regression candidate on the mound and a banged-up opposing lineup is the spot.

The 1-7 recent skid has the price inflated.

I like the Angels

Game Analysis

1 Unit FREE PLAY on St. Louis Cardinals -111

The Cardinals have won four of their last five and are playing well right now.  They send their best starter to the mound tonight in Michael McGreevy to keep that momentum going.  He is 3-2 with a 2.10 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in nine starts this season, including 1-0 with a 1.17 ERA and 0.78 WHIP in four home starts.  Carmen Mlodzinski is 3-3 with a 4.40 ERA and 1.44 WHIP this season, including 0-3 with a 4.94 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in five road starts.  The Pirates are 0-4 in their last four games overall including a pair of shutout losses.  Give me the Cardinals.

NHL | Golden Knights vs Avalanche
Play on: Avalanche -166 at circa
Game Analysis

Tonight’s lone NHL showdown has Vegas visiting Denver for the Western Conference Final opener, and after sifting through the numbers, I’m all in on the Avalanche at home. This isn’t hype, it’s backed by trends that keep pointing the same direction.

Colorado dominated the regular season with a league-best 55-16-11 record and 121 points as Presidents’ Trophy winners. They’ve carried that momentum into the playoffs, sitting at 8-1 overall while outscoring opponents 37-23. At Ball Arena, they’ve been flat-out unbeatable: a perfect 5-0 in the postseason after posting one of the NHL’s strongest home marks all year. Home teams in Conference Final openers have a strong historical edge, and this group thrives in that environment.

The even-strength dominance stands out. The Avs have controlled 5-on-5 play throughout the playoffs, posting elite shot shares and a plus-7 goal differential at even strength. They’ve scored at a 4.11 goals-per-game clip while allowing just 2.56, with Nathan MacKinnon (7 goals, 6 assists) and depth that’s seen contributions from all angles keeping offenses balanced. Special teams add another layer, their power play has been clicking, and they’ve stayed stingy defensively overall.

Vegas earned their spot the hard way at 8-4, leading the postseason in high-danger goals and sporting a lights-out 86.8% penalty kill. Stars like Eichel, Marner, and Stone can flip a game in a heartbeat, and they’ve covered plenty of road underdog spots lately. But they finished the regular season well back at 95 points, and stepping into Denver altitude for Game 1 against a deeper, faster, higher-possession team is a tall order. Colorado took the season series 2-0-1 and has owned recent home meetings.

Vegas won’t roll over, playoff hockey guarantees that, but in a hostile barn with the hotter, more complete squad on home ice? This feels like Colorado’s night to grab the early momentum. Hockey in May never disappoints and Im betting this moneyline bet wont either.

NHL | Golden Knights vs Avalanche
Play on: UNDER 6½ -130
Game Analysis

My selection is on the 'under' between Vegas and Colorado at 8 pm et on Wednesday.

The Avalanche are coming off an incredibly high-scoring series against the Wild and ride a two-game 'over' streak into Game 1 of the Western Conference Final against the Golden Knights. Of note, Colorado has posted just two 'over' streaks lasting more than two games dating back to January 21st. Meanwhile, Vegas checks in off consecutive 'under' results. It's worth mentioning that 'unders' have come in bunches for the Knights in recent weeks and months as they have reeled off at least three straight 'under' results on four different occasions since February 27th. The last time these two teams matched up on April 11th right here in Denver, they produced just four goals in regulation time in a 3-2 Knights overtime victory. Take the under (8*).

WNBA | Sun vs Storm
Play on: UNDER 168 -110
Game Analysis

ASAwins WNBA play on UNDER 168 Connecticut Sun at Seattle Storm, 10 pm ET - Early on the Sun have committed to playing up-tempo this season with the 3rd fastest pace in the WNBA through 5 games at 100.08. The Storm are around league average in pace at 97.95. Neither team is good offensively ranking 14th and 15th in offensive Net rating. Connecticut has already give up 98 or more points in three games this season but those three games came against the Aces and Liberty, the two best teams in the league. These same two teams met on May 10th and produced 171 total points to go OVER the number set by the oddsmakers of 163.5. That means we are getting 4 additional points of value with an UNDER bet here and we are banking on the Storm having a regression in their shooting in this game as they hit an uncharacteristic 44% overall and 45% from deep in the first meeting. Seattle is 11th in overall FG% this season at 41.5% and 6th in 3PT% at 35.2%. Connecticut is 14th in team FG% at 41.1%, 13th in 3PT% at 30.1%. Easy UNDER call here.

Free Play – Take #62 Colorado -166 over Vegas (8:00 p.m. ET, Wednesday, May 20)

The Colorado Avalanche expected to be in this position when they started training camp in September. They have one mission: a Stanley Cup championship. Colorado has pushed all season toward that goal, earning home ice throughout the playoffs. After sweeping Los Angeles and disposing of Minnesota in five games, Colorado expects a tough series against the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Finals. The visitor won all three meetings this season, with Vegas winning in Denver almost six weeks ago. Both teams should be rested, with VKG off six days and Colorado not having played in a week. Though Vegas winning one game at Colorado would not be a huge surprise in the first two skirmishes, the Avs are 12-0 revenging a loss as a home favorite.

Game Analysis

For my best free pick on the board here for Wednesday I am looking at the WNBA and the Seattle Sound hosting the Connecticut Sun. Sun come into this one 0-4 on the season but this team has covered 2 in a row and look to be showing some fight this year. Seattle is a shell of a team and will give the Sun competition for the worst team in the WNBA look for this game to be a one possession game any way you slice it.

Play on the CONNECTICUT SUN plus the points rotation #619
