Cubs -110 over Reds
Arrieta/Mahle
The Cubs are looking for seven wins in a row and another series sweep today. The Reds are playing very poorly. The Cubs are just too locked in to wager against at this price. This team has not lost by more than 1 run in any game here in May. That is super impressive. The Cubs pitching has been on point while the Reds are one of the worst in the league. Let’s ride the hot hand. Take the Cubs.

Game: (501) New York Knicks at (502) Atlanta Hawks
Date/Time: May 30 2021 1:05 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 3 units
Play: Total Under 209.0 (-110)
New York and Atlanta face off again, and this time they head back to Atlanta. The Hawks are 0-6 OU in the L6, and 6-17 OU as a HF (including 0-4 in the L4). They are also 6-22 OU when leading a playoff series, and 15-21 OU @ home. This is a little bit of a lower total, when you look at a Hawks game, but in the low totals games ATL has tending to favor the under, going 2-10 OU @ H TY when the total is less then 223, they are 10-21 OU on the year when the total is 224 or less, and they are 5-15-1 in the L21 H playoff games w/ a total of 224 or less. The Knicks on the other hand is the team that is even more accustomed to totals like this, New York is 1-11 OU on the road when the total is between 206 - 214, and 8-24-1 OU all year with a total under 214. Thibodeau is also 4-16 OU revenging a road loss as the coach of the Knicks, also take into account that the Knicks are 13-23-1 OU on the road TY and 1-7 in the L8 games (which includes 0-3 OU in 3 away games).
Game: (909) St. Louis Cardinals at (910) Arizona Diamondbacks
Date/Time: May 30 2021 4:10 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 5 units
Play: 1H St. Louis Cardinals -130 K Kim (LHP), M Peacock (RHP) Must Start
5 unit 1H St. Louis Cardinals (-130) over Arizona Diamondbacks (Kim/Peacock) –
St. Louis is taking on the Diamondbacks w/ the LHP Kim on the mound. Even though his record doesn’t show it at 1-2, the Cardinals are 8-2 in his L10 starts, including 5-2 TY (w/ a 3.09 ERA). The entirety of the pitching staff has been solid this year, the staff as a whole has the #8 opponent batting average in the league, holding teams to .221 on the year. St. Louis is now 56-46 in the L102 on the R, which includes going 5-0 TY as an AF (7.8 AF, 2.8 AA), as well as 11-1 as an AF in the L2Y vs. RHP, and 47-20 in L4Y as AF. While Arizona is 30-58 in the L88, including 7-16 vs. LHP, and 6-11 as a HD. This year alone the Diamondbacks are 1-8 in the L9 @ H, 4-9 as a HD, 2-9 vs. LHP, and 0-3 vs. LHP @ H (allowing 8.67 runs/game in those 3 games), and 0-12 in the L12. Arizona is also #28 in opponent runs/game (5.327), #27 in run differential (-1.019) and #30 in opponent BA (.262). Arizona has struggled this year offensively, hitting only .209 TY vs. LHP, and averaging only 3.4 runs in the L7 games. Which doesn’t exactly help a pitching staff that is throwing a SP in Matt Peacock who is only making his 3rd start this season. After being scratched the other night he jumps back into the rotation to face the Cardinals. He has posted an ERA of 4.91, giving up 12 runs in 22 IP, while 8 of his appearances have came out of the bullpen. When you put a pitcher on the mound to start that usually comes out of the bullpen, you can’t anticipate that he will last long, which means that a trip to this struggling Arizona bullpen is going to show up earlier then anticipated, which may be good for St. Louis. With the Cardinals being a top 5 team this year in terms of runs/1H, and with a pitching match-up that looks like it is going to force Arizona to go to the BP early, even more of a reason for STL to put up more runs early.

VEGAS @ COLORADO | 05/30 | 8:00 PM EDT
COLORADO -180
ANALYSIS: The Aves have been dominant this season and in the playoffs so far, while the Knights are coming off a tough 7-game series against the Wild. I think the Aves are the better team, and they will definitely be the more rested team after sweeping the Blues in the first round. Take the Aves to win Game 1.

TORONTO @ CLEVELAND | 05/30 | 1:10 PM EDT
TORONTO -105
ANALYSIS: Ross Stripling seemed to figure it out in his last start firing seven scoreless innings against the red hot Rays bats. Sam Hentges is making just his fourth career start and he has allowed nine runs in 11.1 IP as a starter this season. He has also struggled with 10 walks in that same span. Take the value on the Blue Jays bats to take Game 1.

PHILADELPHIA @ TAMPA BAY | 05/30 | 1:10 PM EDT
TAMPA BAY -130
ANALYSIS: Zach Eflin has pitched at least six innings in all of his starts this season, the only problem is he is 2-4 with a 3.84 ERA. He is 1-3 with a 4.11 ERA in May this season. Collin McHugh will start for the Rays and the Rays have won 14 of their last 15 games. The Phillies returned JT Realmuto from the IL but they are still banged up. Look for the Rays to stay hot.

L.A. ANGELS @ OAKLAND | 05/30 | 4:07 PM EDT
OAKLAND -135
ANALYSIS: We’ve got a couple southpaws matching up in Cole Irvin and Jose Quintana today. However the Athletics are much better at hitting lefties than the Angels. Cole Irvin has struggled recently but he has the benefit of not having faced the Athletics. The Athletics faced Quintana last start getting three runs in 5.1 IP. The Athletics played a dud last night after winning the first two games of this series, I expect them to win the series today.

KANSAS CITY @ MINNESOTA | 05/30 | 2:10 PM EDT
KANSAS CITY +120
ANALYSIS: Matt Shoemaker is 0-4 with a 11.01 ERA career against the Royals. He has been good recently though pitched a quality start in two of his last three outings. He faced the Royals once already this season and allowed eight earned runs in 3.1 IP. Brad Keller is coming off the best start of his season against the red hot Rays bats and he hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in a start in May. I think the Royals are the better team right now, take the Royals.

SAN DIEGO @ HOUSTON | 05/30 | 2:10 PM EDT
SAN DIEGO +1.5
ANALYSIS: This is simply good value getting the Padres on the runline -- are you aware they are 8-0 vs. AL teams this season? Houston has been so-so vs. lefties and faces Friars southpaw Blake Snell. He's familiar with the Stros from his Rays days with a 2.51 ERA vs. Houston in five playoff starts. As an added bonus, Houston almost surely will not have top reliever Ryan Pressly available as he pitched in the first two games of the series. Saturday's 11-8 Padres win in 12 innings was totally wild.

TORONTO @ CLEVELAND | 05/30 | 1:10 PM EDT
CLEVELAND +1.5
ANALYSIS: Game 1 of a doubleheader. The moneyline here has been going back and forth as to which team is favored, so I'll jump now on the runline with the Indians getting +1.5 at home. The Blue Jays have the better offense, but Cleveland's Aaron Civale (7-1, 3.04) is a much better pitcher than Toronto's Ross Stripling (0-3, 5.63). Stripling has a 7.20 ERA in six starts this year -- a few other times he followed an opener.

11:30 AM
VEGAS @ COLORADO | 05/30 | 8:00 PM EDT
COLORADO -190
ANALYSIS: Colorado was my pick to win the Cup before the playoffs began -- not exactly going out on a limb there -- and the only concern in Game 1 vs. the Knights might be a little rust as the Avs haven't played since sweeping out the Blues last Sunday. Still, I think the Knights will be a bit worn down after a grueling seven-game series vs. the Wild. Plus, Colorado has essentially been invincible at home since mid-March.

NEW YORK @ ATLANTA | 05/30 | 1:00 PM EDT
ATLANTA -198
ANALYSIS: How much money might Knicks leading scorer Julius Randle be costing himself in this series? He was terrible again in Game 3 in shooting 2-for-15 from the field as the Knicks lost 105-94. During the first three games of the series, Randle has scored 44 points on 13 of 54 shooting. Clearly, the size of the likes of Clint Capela and John Collins is bothering Randle. Atlanta is on the longest home winning streak in the NBA and I see no reason why that wouldn't extend in Game 4.

KANSAS CITY @ MINNESOTA | 05/30 | 2:10 PM EDT
MINNESOTA -130
ANALYSIS: The Twins are 11-0 in series finales at home following a game as a favorite in which their opponent’s starter has a strikeout-per-walk ratio less than 2.00. The Royals are 0-7 as road underdogs when Brad Keller starts after he went six-plus innings and gave up eight or fewer hits in his previous turn and Kansas City won.

The Giants are 0-12 as road underdogs after a comeback win before the All-Star break and it's not a series opener.
