SAN DIEGO @ L.A. DODGERS | 04/25 | 7:08 PM EDT
L.A. DODGERS -121
ANALYSIS: In three career starts against the Dodgers, Joe Musgrove is 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. My model says the Dodgers win 69 percent of the time, so you're getting strong value at this number. I love L.A.

PHOENIX @ BROOKLYN | 04/25 | 3:30 PM EDT
BROOKLYN -1.5
ANALYSIS: The Nets have been average on the road but are a sparkling 24-7 at home. They are expected to receive some reinforcements for this game with Kevin Durant (thigh) listed as probable. On the other side of things, the Suns will be shorthanded at power forward with Jae Crowder (ankle) and Dario Saric (ankle) both out. Look for the Nets to pull out a win on their home floor and cover this small number along the way.

CINCINNATI @ ST. LOUIS | 04/25 | 2:15 PM EDT
ST. LOUIS -125
ANALYSIS: The Reds have lost six straight and now they have to face Cards ace Jack Flaherty, who has allowed a total of three earned runs over his last three starts. Batters are hitting .317 against Cincinnati's Luis Castillo after he limited opponents to a .233 average last season. Lay the reasonable price.

KANSAS CITY @ DETROIT | 04/25 | 1:10 PM EDT
KANSAS CITY -111
ANALYSIS: Danny Duffy is 2-1 with a 0.50 ERA this season, and he gets to face the Tigers lineup who has the lowest OPS in the league against lefties. Michael Fulmer has been good for the Tigers, but the Royals just need to get to the Tigers’ bullpen that’s ranked last in ERA in the league. Take the value in the Royals to sweep.
OAKLAND @ BALTIMORE | 04/25 | 1:05 PM EDT
OAKLAND -125
ANALYSIS: The As have now won 13 straight games, and they get to face another lefty in John Means tonight. The As have the fifth highest OPS in the league against lefties, while the Orioles also face a lefty in Jesus Luzardo. However, the Orioles have just the 21st highest OPS as a team against lefties. Take the value in the As to sweep.

KANSAS CITY @ DETROIT | 04/25 | 1:10 PM EDT
KANSAS CITY -121
ANALYSIS: The Tigers are the worst team in MLB versus left-handed pitchers, and today they face Danny Duffy, who has allowed one earned run in 18 innings this season. Michael Fulmer owns a 4.96 ERA in 11 career starts against the Royals. Back K.C. to stay hot.

Bet Type: Point Spread
Pick: Phoenix Suns +1.5 (-102) (BetAnySports)
Analysis:
#519 PHOENIX (+) over Brooklyn at 3:30 PM ESTOff that ugly 99-86 road loss at Boston and with three days to prepare, Phoenix will sneak into the Big Apple on Sunday and pull off the upset over Brooklyn. The Nets enter this contest off a huge home win and cover over the Celtics and they're going to have their hands full in this non-conference battle.Revenge motivation will be off the charts for the Suns in this matchup. In the last 18 meetings in this series, Phoenix holds a dismal 4-14 SU and 6-12 ATS mark and that includes a 128-124 home loss (as an eight-point favorite) back on February 16th. Thankfully, head coach Monty Williams' boys have been outstanding when coming off a straight up loss notching a golden 9-0 SU and ATS record in their last nine games. Also, when running the court with same season revenge, the Suns hold a powerful 14-2 SU and 13-3 ATS tally including an elite 11-0 SU and 10-1 ATS if they are rested.Brooklyn hasn't exactly been the best favorite in the league lately either. When laying points, the Nets hold a feeble 16-25 ATS mark in their last 41 tries including a miserable 8-15 ATS if their opponent checks in off a straight up loss. Also, when hosting an opponent that scoots in with three or more days of rest, Brooklyn has been at its financial worst notching a woeful 105-141-3 ATS record including a rough 40-59-1 ATS if the Nets hit the hardwood with a little steam off a SU and ATS win. Please note: Brooklyn is on a woeful 17-33 ATS run in its last 50 in that last technical situation.With a 1.5-game deficit for the top spot in the Western Conference standings and peeking at the Clippers a half-game behind them, the Suns understand the importance of this revenge victory. Take Phoenix. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.

Competition: Cleveland Cavaliers vs Washington Wizards
Time: Sunday, April 25, 07:10 pm ET
Bet Type: Point Spread
Pick: Washington Wizards -9.5 (-110) (DraftKings)
Analysis:
NBA Blowout Game of the Month. My selection is on Washington minus the points over Cleveland at 7:10 pm et on Sunday.The Wizards are absolutely rolling right now, taking full advantage of a favorable schedule to reel off seven straight wins, going 6-0-1 ATS along the way. I expect them to keep it rolling against the lowly, undermanned Cavs on Sunday. Cleveland was already in for a bit of a letdown after shooting better than 51% in each of its last two games, but now will be without its top offensive threat in Collin Sexton due to a concussion. While I'm a fan of Darius Garland, the budding star isn't capable of shouldering the entire load with a poor supporting cast around him. Keep in mind, the Cavs were already without Taurean Prince, who had been giving them solid minutes and offensive production before going down to injury last week. The Wizards certainly haven't been playing down to the level of competition lately, delivering blowout wins against the Kings, Pistons and Thunder (twice) during their current winning streak. Note that the Wizards are an excellent positive momentum play having gone 8-1 ATS when coming off a double-digit win this season. Meanwhile, the Cavs are a miserable 9-19 ATS as a road underdog this season, outscored by an average margin of 10.9 points. Washington is absolutely locked in defensively right now, having held its last five opponents to 43.4% or worse shooting - an incredible stretch of defensive dominance by today's NBA standards. This will be the first meeting between these two teams this season after the Cavs took a 113-108 decision against a much different Wizards squad here in Washington last February. Take Washington (10*).
