NBA | Jazz vs Clippers
Play on: UNDER 197½ -105

Big time game as the 1-0 Jazz take on the 0-1 Clippers. Last game the Jazz won 97-95 so expect both teams to be playing defense one the Clippers can not go down 2 games to 0 and head back to Utah and Utah knows it must slow down the game as much as possible and limit possessions as much as possible. Tons of money here on the Over around 66% of the bets are on the Over Under is super sharp and where my money will be on this one.

Play on: Twins +110 at BMaker

Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Minnesota Twins +110

The Minnesota Twins are showing excellent value as home underdogs to the Cleveland Indians today. They will be motivated to bounce back from a Game 1 loss to the Indians, but this time around they clearly have the edge on the mound.

Phil Hughes has gone 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA and 1.114 WHIP in two starts this season. Hughes has gone 6-3 with a 3.95 ERA and 1.212 WHIP in 11 career starts against the Indians as well. He is certainly better than he gets credit for.

Josh Tomlin has really struggled early, going 0-2 with an 18.45 ERA and 2.681 WHIP in two starts, allowing 13 earned runs in 6 1/3 innings. Tomlin also hasn't had much success against the Twins, going 4-4 with a 5.63 ERA in 11 career starts.

The Indians are 2-8 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning record. The Twins are 4-0 in Hughes' last four starts. Minnesota is 7-2 in Hughes' last nine home starts vs. a team with a losing record. Bet the Twins Tuesday.

MLB | Tigers vs Rays
Play on: Tigers +107 at BMaker

Free Pick on Tigers +

I really like the value here with Detroit at basically a pick'em on the road against Tampa Bay. The Tigers just took 2 of 3 at Cleveland and are now 7-3 over their last 10. The Rays lost the final 3 of their 4-game set at Boston yesterday and are just 1-6 in their last 7 overall. Hard to not like Detroit with last year's AL Rookie of the Year, Michael Fulmer, on the mound. Fulmer doesn't get hyped up by the media like some of these other young arms, which is why I believe he's showing so much value early on in 2017. He hasn't even pitched that great in his first two outings and has a 2.25 ERA and 0.917 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and just 3 walks in 12 innings of work.

It's been two completely different results for Tampa Bay starter Matt Andriese and I'm willing to gamble that he fails to keep pace with Fulmer in this one. Andriese has made one start against the Tigers and allowed 4 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks in just 5 1/3 innings. I also think we could see the Rays come out a bit flat after yesterday's loss and the unusual flight back home after a Monday game. Take Detroit!

Vegas Butcher

New York Yankees -180

Model has this one at -245. White Sox can’t hit, and Severino is pitching like a top-5 starter right now.

Milwaukee Brewers +156

Pure value play, as the Cubs are way over-valued here. Anderson is a top-20 pitcher in the early going and Milwaukee’s offense can score some runs. Model has this one at +138 Brewers.

Miami Marlins -102

Marlins have been simply a better team in the early going, and following a tough spot on Monday (traveling across country for that one), I expect a better showing here.

Boston vs. Toronto
Play: Boston +140

So I know Stroman is pitching, and has had some success vs. the Red Sox. But that was with the lineup that could score runs. Right now, they are a weak hitting team. I love the hot Red Sox as a +140 play. Here are some other stats that back up our play: Red Sox are 4-0 in their last 4 games on astroturf. Red Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Red Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game. Red Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 overall. Red Sox are 9-3 in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Red Sox are 24-9 in their last 33 during game 1 of a series. Red Sox are 10-4 in their last 14 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Red Sox are 16-7 in their last 23 vs. American League East. Red Sox are 13-6 in their last 19 games following a win. Blue Jays are 6-18 in their last 24 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Blue Jays are 1-4 in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Blue Jays are 3-14 in their last 17 overall. Blue Jays are 1-6 in their last 7 vs. American League East. Blue Jays are 1-6 in their last 7 games following a loss. Blue Jays are 1-6 in their last 7 home games. Blue Jays are 1-8 in their last 9 games on astroturf. Blue Jays are 0-5 in their last 5 games following an off day. Blue Jays are 3-7 in Stromans last 10 starts vs. American League East. Blue Jays are 3-7 in Stromans last 10 starts. Blue Jays are 1-5 in Stromans last 6 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. Blue Jays are 1-5 in Stromans last 6 starts after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

Power Sports

White Sox vs. Yankees
Pick: Yankees

Keep riding the Yankees until further notice as they've now won eight in a row following last night's 7-4 home triumph over the White Sox. The Bronx Bombers are the only American League team that's yet to lose a home game as they've "doubled up" their visitors in terms of runs scored vs. allowed. Eventually, they'll drop one, but it won't be tonight as the White Sox are NOT the team to get the job done.

Pitching has been key to the Yanks' success thus far. They've allowed four runs or fewer in all eight wins. With the return of Aroldis Chapman, it was anticipated that the bullpen would be in fine shape, but the starting rotation has been a major surprise to this point. Getting the baseball tonight will be Luis Severino, who is off perhaps the best start of his career. He went seven innings and gave up just two runs on five hits in a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay. However, the most impressive thing about the outing was his 11-1 KW ratio. I anticipate him having little difficulty mowing through a White Sox lineup that has been held to three runs or fewer in 8 of its last 10 ballgames and is still minus Todd Frazier. It's also certainly not helping Chicago's cause that Jose Abreu is 2 for his last 27.

Starting opposite Severino will be Miguel Gonzalez. He has a 2-0 TSR, but if his current ERA and WHIP are any indication, winning will be unsustainable for the righty. Having a 1.928 WHIP is not a good sign. In his two starts, which span 10 2/3 innings, Gonzales has allowed 21 baserunners via 15 hits and six walks. Again, not good. Especially w/ the Yankees appearing to hit their stride offensively. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the guys wearing pinstripes continue to be undervalued.

Nationals vs. Braves
Play: Nationals -174

The Washington Nationals make the trip to the ATL for a three-game series against the host Atlanta Braves at the new SunTrust Stadium. The Braves are riding a five-game winning streak after sweeping the Padres in a four-game set with the final game on Monday night. The Braves trailing in the ninth sent Dansby Swanson and his .146 batting average on the season and currently 0-4 on the night to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs. Swanson did what; he delivered an RBI single as the Braves swept the Padres with their 5 to 4 victory on Monday night in the Sun. Their streak ends today with Max Scherzer and the Nationals in town. Max Scherzer comes in with a 1-1 record and an ERA of 2.13 on the year. His lone start came in the City of Brotherly Love against the Phillies where he went 6.7 innings allowing two earned runs on four hits two walks and seven strikeouts in the win. We want to play ON MLB road favorites when their bullpen has allowed at least one run in two straight games. These road favorites are 472-339 for 58.2 percent winners and a profit of +2543. We are well above the odds we like to lay, for us this is an expensive play but a winner is just that a winner so we will lay the heavy chalk in the ATL on Tuesday night as the Nationals get the win in the Sun.

Chicago @ Boston
Pick: Boston -7

It was a highly emotional Game 1 at the Garden, as Isaiah Thomas played with a heavy heart after learning his sister passed away from a car accident. There are only five instances since 2003 where a top seed lost the first round series opener, and all five of those teams came back to win Game 2 by an average of 11 points per game.The onus is certainly on Boston to step it up in Game 2, and history as a guide says they do. Boston got a great effort from Thomas, as well as Al Horford, but the rest of the team was a no-show shooting 19-55 at 34.5%. They have to do a better job off the glass, as Chicago had 20 offensive rebounds, and that was a difference maker. Despite the poor shooting from the supporting cast, and a horrible job off the glass, Boston never trailed by double-digits and was in the game all the way to the end. I think Coach Stevens gets this cleaned up, and Boston comes out for Game 2 with passion.
