Rotation # 929
Mets -120 over Rays
Stroman/Fleming
Both starters are pitching well this year. The Mets hit a little better against left handed pitching than they do right handed pitching and they need a win today to avoid the sweep from this Rays team. This should be a low scoring game in which Marcus Stroman continues to not allow many runs. Take the Mets.

MIAMI @ L.A. DODGERS | 05/16 | 4:10 PM EDT
L.A. DODGERS -153
ANALYSIS: The Dodgers are on fire right now, and they finally seem to be scoring. They are going with a bullpen day today with Jimmy Nelson making the start. Pablo Lopez is 0-3 with a 3.07 ERA but he is coming off an outing where he allowed six runs in 4.1 innings. He has been much worse on the road this season and the Marlins bats haven’t been helping much. Take the value in the Dodgers at home.

N.Y. ISLANDERS @ PITTSBURGH | 05/16 | 12:00 PM EDT
PITTSBURGH -135
ANALYSIS: During the regular season these teams were both very good at home but just average on the road. I expect that trend to continue today with an Islanders team that struggled down the stretch. The Penguins won six of eight games against the Islanders this season and they won all four games at home. Tristan Jarry is hot right now, while Semyon Varlamov has been iffy down the stretch. Take the Penguins at home to open up this series.

DENVER @ PORTLAND | 05/16 | 9:00 PM EDT
PORTLAND -11
ANALYSIS: With a win in this game, Denver would more or less guarantee itself a first-round matchup against the Lakers. Denver is going to want no part of that. Portland needs this win while Denver should be actively trying to lose and that is enough to lay the points here. Portland will have an extra edge of revenge in its focus here having lost both meetings against Denver so far this season. The Trail Blazers are 6-0 ATS (10.25 ppg) when they've lost at least two straight meetings vs. this opponent.
