Here are today's best bets.
MLB Best Bets
Nolan Arenado OVER 1.5 Total Bases (+110)
The Cardinals struggled at the start of the season, going 10-19. However, in May, they've been better, and they have the chance to finish above .500. They have a great chance to do it as they face the last-place Royals.
Nolan Arenando has not started the season off well, but today is a great chance to put up some offense coming off a 2-for-4 performance on Sunday. Although he's only seen Josh Staumont twice, he has one hit, which was a home run.

NBA Playoffs Best Bets
Boston Celtics Moneyline (-300)
The Boston Celtics have been a top team in the NBA all season. They were a favorite to win the NBA championship from early on, and I think they have the betting value tonight. The Celtics have won the last three games, and tonight is a home game for them. The Miami Heat has finally used up everything from their magical postseason run. This series would be the first series a team has won after being down three games. Let us hope we see history made tonight.

NHL Playoffs Best Bets
Vegas Golden Knights (+104) at Dallas Stars (-125) | O/U 5.5 (-114/-106)
Although the Golden Knights won the first three games, they have not dominated this series. Even before their last two wins, Dallas held the expected goals advantage, and two of the Vegas wins came in overtime.
The big reason they were able to win these games was because of goalie Adin Hill. Hill was tough in those first three games with a .948 save percentage but has regressed recently with a .907 save percentage. They're still getting contributions from some of their best skaters, like Chandler Stephenson, Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault, but it won't be enough if Hill can't get back to his early-series form.
That's because Jake Oettinger looks like a completely different goalie. He hit am all-time low when he gave three up goals in the first five shots and was pulled seven minutes into Game 3. Since then, he's been back to regular-season form with a .941 save percentage in the last two games after having an abysmal .848 save percentage in the first three games.
The big push on offense for Dallas had come from Jason Robertson. After going goalless for eight straight, he's been lighting up the lamp with five in this series, including three over the last two games. This is the player the Stars lean on in the offense. If he keeps contributing, they could finish this comeback.
There's another series tonight featuring a team that won three straight to force a Game 7, and the Stars would love to accomplish that same feat. The Stars have the potential to do it, but the confidence lies with the total. I love the rebound from Oettinger, and Hill can have a bounce-back game.
Pick: UNDER 5.5 (-106)
