Mike Lundin Premium Picks

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

The New York Mets are only 25-23 straight up and 22-25 against the runline with Jacob deGrom as the starter since the beginning of the 2019 season. This is just an absurd line, especially with it being the opener of the series at Coors Field and I could see the Mets struggle with the altitude.

8* play on Colorado Rockies +1.5. 

HEAT @ WOLVES TGIF NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off a couple of blowout home loess to Brooklyn and Milwaukee. The Wolves were held to 97 and 105 points in the two games, and now they'll be matched up against a Heat team that is allowing only 107.5 points per game (3rd). 

I expect the Heat to be fired up as they look to bounce back from a pair of losses at Phoenix and Denver, and this game will mark the end of a four-game road trip. 

Heat are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite. Heat are 6-1-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Minnesota. Timberwolves are 18-37 ATS in their last 55 home games.

8* play on Miami Heat. 

Diamondbacks vs Nationals Free Pick April 16, 2021

Premium pick subscribers cashed in with the Arizona Diamondbacks as a nice priced underdog on Thursday, but I expect the Nats to vindicate themselves with a convincing win Friday night. 

Arizona right-hander Taylor Widener (1-0, 2.45 ERA) surrendered four runs (three earned) on seven hits in five innings of a 6-5 extra-inning D'Backs loss to Cincinnati last time out. He never faced the Nats in any of his 12 appearances as a reliever in his rookie season last year. 

Washington hands the ball to Max Scherzer (0-1, 3.75 ERA) who held the dangerous LA Dodgers to one run on three hits through six innings in his last start. Scherzer has this D'Backs roster limited to a combined .217 AVG over 125 at bats. 

Free pick on Washington Nationals -1.5.

GRIZZLIES @ BULLS TGIF NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Memphis Grizzlies have been road warriors all season, winning 14 of 24 away games straight up. They are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as a road favorite. They should be extra fired up here, looking to bounce back from a home loss to Dallas and eager to kick off a seven-game road trip with a win. 

The Chicago Bulls are only 10-17 SU home at United Center for the season and 17-37 ATS in their last 54 games as a home underdog. 

For this contest, the Bulls will have to do without leading scorer Zach LaVine who has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols and is expected to miss multiple games. 

8* play on Memphis Grizzlies. 

GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT | NORTH DIVISION *BEST BET* FOR APRIL

I like to fade the Calgary Flames here as they're coming off three straight wins, the most recent a 4-1 triumph here at Montreal a couple of nights ago.

I'm not sure they can keep the intensity for a fourth straight win, while the Habs should be hungry to turn things around with only one win in their last five games. 

Canadiens are 23-4 in their last 27 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals. Home team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

10* play on Montreal Canadiens. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The tanking Houston Rockets have dropped four consecutive games and 9 of 10. Last time out, they gave up 75 first-half points in a 132-124 loss to the Indiana Pacers. Here they'll face a better team than the Pacers in Denver Nuggets who have won eight of their last 10 games and most recently put a 123-106 beating on Miami. They did it without Jamal Murray who tore his left ACL against the Warriors on Monday, and I think the Nuggets will win this one by double-digits. 

Rockets are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games as a home underdog. Road favorites of more than eight points are 34-15-1 ATS (69%) across the whole NBA this season. 

10* play on Denver Nuggets. 

GAME OF THE WEEK ALERT | TOP-RATED MLB TOTAL

Good spot for an under when the St. Louis Cardinals visit the Philadelphia Phillies Friday night. 

Philly right-hander Zach Eflin (0-0, 3.46 ERA) was excellent in his lone home start of the season so far, limiting Atlanta to one run on four hits with eight ks through seven innings of a 2-1 Phillies win. 

Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez (0-2, 6.30 ERA) has had two rough outings, but here he'll face a Philadelphia team that averages only 3.73 runs per game (28th). 

Neither bullpen is spectacular, but not awful either. I expect a low-scoring game. 

10* play on UNDER.
