MLB Best Bets

Dean Kremer to record a win vs. Rangers (+185)

This bet is a complete fade of Texas Rangers southpaw Andrew Heaney, who made his first start of the season against the Baltimore Orioles, which was easily the worst of his nine starts (7 ERs in 2 2/3 innings). Heaney has had issues with the better teams in the league, as he has made five starts against teams with winning records this season, and he has allowed at least three earned runs in four of those starts while recording fewer than 15 outs three times.

The Orioles rank in the top eight in wRC+, ISO, and wOBA against left-handed pitching this season. And their lineup is supported by Dean Kremer, who has won five of his last seven starts while pitching to a 3.12 ERA. And it is not like Kremer has had a cakewalk of a schedule in that span, as five of those seven starts (including each of the last four) have been against teams over .500.

We expect Baltimore to jump on Heaney again, which should open the door for Kremer to lead the Orioles to a fifth straight win in his last five home starts against teams with a winning record.

NBA Playoffs Best Bets

Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat

The Miami Heat actually out-shot the Boston Celtics in Game 5. But despite that, the Celtics still won the game 110-97.

Boston took 39 threes and drained 16 of them, shooting 41% from downtown. Meanwhile. the Heat only took 23 threes and nailed nine of them. Miami rarely saw the foul line and turned the ball over six more times. Because of that, the Celtics got one more shot attempt than the Heat in the game.

Earlier in the series, the Celtics couldn't buy a bucket from long-range. Now they're red hot. It's hard to know if it'll continue on the road. But the Celtics surely have all the momentum and confidence heading into tonight's game.

In their last road game against the Heat, the Celtics shot 40% from three on 45 attempts. The Heat got to the foul line at a ridiculous rate, but the Celtics, again, won the turnover battle and shot extremely well from downtown.

The Heat has labeled Gabe Vincent as questionable for tonight's game. He missed Game 5 with an ankle injury and could potentially miss tonight's game too. Vincent has averaged 17.5 points per game through four games in the Eastern Conference Finals and was missed in Game 5 for the Heat.

Vincent had been shooting nearly 58% from the field and hit 50% from downtown before his injury. His status is a big deal. He even led all scorers in Game 3 with 29 points.

But right now, the Celtics are moving the ball extremely well. They're shooting and playing with confidence. They've been earning more assists, giving up fewer turnovers, winning most games on the glass, and shooting at a much higher percentage from three-point range.

Therefore, I'll back the Celtics to earn another win and cover the small spread tonight.

Bet: Celtics -2.5 (-110)

NHL Playoffs Best Bets

Jason Robertson OVER 0.5 Assists (-120)

The Stars remain alive and extended the series with an overtime win in Game 4. One of the key reasons for their survival was because Jake Oettinger bounced back by saving 37-of-39 shots after being replaced a little over seven minutes in the previous game. Another was Joe Pavelski finding the back of the net after a four-game drought.

One player we can stay confident in is Jason Robertson. Dallas' top forward has turned it on as of late, with a point in six out of eight games and multiple in three. He provided assists earlier, but now he has four goals in this series. I believe he ends that assists drought tonight.

WNBA Best Bet

New York Liberty vs. Connecticut Sun

The Connecticut Sun is off to a hot start. They are 3-0 and have two wins against the Mystics. The Liberty are 1-1 but have one of the most talented rosters in the WNBA. They have four all-stars. They are Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, Courtney Vandersloot, and Jonquel Jones. That talent makes them a borderline super team.

The New York Liberty have plenty of talent, but they are still figuring out how to put everything together. Once they do, they will win plenty of games, and they have an opportunity tonight to get betting value against a quality team. Look out for the Liberty this year because they could make a run.

New York Liberty -7.5 Points (-110)
