This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS for our NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Month. Charlotte opened the season 16-28 and it looked like another lost season but then something clicked and the Hornets have gone 22-6 over their last 28 games. They are 2.5 games behind the even hotter Hawks in the Southeast Division while sitting two games behind Toronto to get out of the Play In Tournament but also have two other teams in front of them. They are not getting much respect here with the line so there is value in a double-revenge game after losing the first two meetings by 28 and 15 points. Charlotte is 8-0 ATS this season at home off a home win winning by 20.0 ppg. The Knicks have won seven straight games with six of those games against teams not going to the postseason and the other coming against shorthanded Golden St. so it has been a favorable schedule. Here, we play on home teams after a cover as a double digit favorite going up against an opponent off a home win. This situation is 53-15 (77.9 percent) since 2022 with the average scoring differential +7.5 ppg. 10* (506) Charlotte Hornets

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS as part of our MLB Opening Day Double Play. Jose Soriano gets the opening day start for the Angels following a 2025 season with a 4.26 ERA in 169 innings and he is expected to be a solid mid-rotation option with potential for over 180 innings and 150+ strikeouts. He should build on his 2025 performance with improved strikeout rates, and potential for a mid-to-high 3s ERA, according to analysis in Baseball America. What we like about him here is he was much better on the road last season as he posted a 5.90 ERA in 76.1 innings at home but had a 2.91 ERA in 92.2 innings on the road while allowing just four home runs. Hunter Brown had a great season and was part of the Cy Young race and following Framber Valdez's departure to Detroit, Brown is the undisputed head of the rotation. What we do not like is he has an average offense behind him and a bullpen missing closer Josh Hader. 10* (909) Los Angeles Angels

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TWINS as part of our MLB Opening Day Double Play. The Orioles are improved as they made some good moves to go along with a good young core but the starting rotation is a question mark. Trev Rogers is near the top of the list for starting pitchers not expected to duplicate the success they did last season. Following a breakout 2025 season where he posted a 1.81 ERA, most systems expect a regression toward a 4.00–4.25 ERA and he will be priced early based on his 2025 season so we can get value from that. Joe Ryan is coming off a second straight solid season where he had a 3.42 ERA in a career high 171 innings and he will be sought after at the trade deadline should the Twins be out of it. His projections are expected to remain similar with his WHIP around 1.10 along with a roughly 27 percent K%. His home runs allowed has been his big issue with Camden Yards not a  big HR park. 10* (907) Minnesota Twins

This is a play on the PURDUE BOILERMAKERS for our CBB Tourney Annihilator. It is time for the Texas run to come to an end. The Longhorns barely got past NC State in the First Four after the Wolfpack came in losing seven of their previous nine games. Texas got a good draw the rest of the way as it faced BYU and Gonzaga which were both down key players and now it catches Purdue at a bad time. The Longhorns do not match up well here as they are No. 81 in Defensive Efficiency which is easily the lowest rated team remaining in the NCAA Tournament. They now have to face a Purdue team that is ranked No. 1 in Offensive Efficiency and should have their way especially with Braden Smith coming off one of his worst games of the season. The Boilermakers are favored by the same amount as they were against Miami whose defense is much better than Texas. Purdue is 9-0 ATS as a favorite since the 2024 NCAA Tournament. 10* (618) Purdue Boilermakers

This is a play on the NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS for our CBB Tourney Dominator. Iowa is coming off a win over Florida to mess up a lot of brackets but the Hawkeyes may have been fortunate to be there with their draw as they faced a Clemson team off a poor ending to the season. The Hawkeyes had lost seven of 10 games heading into the tournament with the only win away from home coming against Maryland and they are already the popular play here with the line having come down. Since 2002-03, NCAA Tournament teams playing in the Sweet 16 or later coming off a win as a double-digit underdog are 0-6 straight up and 1-5 ATS. Nebraska is coming off one of the best games of the NCAA Tournament as it snuck past Vanderbilt by two points and was inches away from going down on a last three-point heave. Nebraska is 14-2 this season coming off two or more consecutive wins with the losses against Michigan and UCLA on the road. 10* (616) Nebraska Cornhuskers
