WUNDERDOG (NBA PLAYOFFS)
1 OF 4
Game: Indiana at Chicago (1:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Chicago -11.5 (-110)

The Chicago Bulls were not in the conversation at the beginning of the season for top honors in the NBA. But here they are opening vs. Indiana as the top seed with their NBA best 62-20 mark on the season. The Bulls were an impressive 36-5 at home on the season. The Bulls closed the season with nine straight wins. But some are looking at the fact they were 0-5 ATS down the stretch as a favorite of 9 or more, and may be deterred by the big number here. I'm not. Unlike the regular season, big playoffs favorites of 10 or more in this round own a 31-19 ATS mark. The Pacers are in the playoffs by default as they are not a playoff-caliber team at 37-45. Teams that win less than 40 games that play in the postseason are 4-14 ATS and 0-7 ATS as a double digit dog.
Chicago covers this one.

WUNDERDOG (NHL)
1 OF 3
Game: Tampa Bay at Pittsburgh (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Pittsburgh -130 (moneyline)

The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Pittsburgh penguins played a clean (total of 18 penalty minutes) and tight-checking game one. The Penguins broke the Lightning's back with a 2-goal flurry in a matter of 18 second, on their way to a 3-0 win. The Lightning could do nothing to slip one past Marc-Andre-Fleury, who was dazzling behind the net. The Pens can play loose here, while the Lightning has to feel somewhat befuddled with a good effort, but coming up 3 goals short. The Lightning has been 2-9 after an opponent allows 2 goals or less, and the Pens are dominating as a playoff favorite at 30-11 in their last 41.
Pittsburgh goes up 2-0.

Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers of OffshoreInsiders.com has a pick in MLB on the Minnesota Twins (+122) to Tampa.

Reasoning: Tampa Bay is a bad baseball team right now and to not have to lay money with a far better Minnesota team is fine with me. And yes I know all about the recent wins including the Johnny Damon walk-off last night.

Yes the Rays won yesterday and the two games at Fenway Park but what the heck are the Red Sox right now? Daisuke is a total disgrace and taking those two games doesn’t impress me all that much. They have been better, I guess, but the talent level is still very low and very much lacking.

After losing Carl Crawford and Carlos Pena in the offseason and now without Evan Longoria the Tampa offense is fairly awful. Every team will have that one game where everything clicks so I do not believe that Joe Maddon’s Punch and Judy hitters have just all of a sudden found something. They are a bad bad offense right now and just cannot compare with Justin Morneau, Delmon Young, Michael Cuddyer and the Twins. Joe Mauer is on the DL which does hurt but it’s also not the end all as we saw with this team after losing Morneau. Plus I love teams off bad losses as they usually rebound and last night was the epitome of such.

I can’t say that I love the on again off again Nick Blackburn. The guy has had some quality moments but he has also had some lean times as well. In terms of upside and overall stuff Wade Davis may be on a higher level. The Tampa hurler had a very successful second half of the season last year and is good. But all in all he is not a guy that should be able to dominate the lefty bats of the Twinkies and to get Minnesota here, in some revenge, at this price is a must play in some way, shape or form.

I still do not think this Tampa Bay team is very good and I’m therefore just fine with fading them in a spot like this against the far better team.

Top expert pick on this game: Matt Rivers has Minnesota
