Today's Best Bets

Here are today's best bets.

MLB Best Bets

Boston Red Sox (+180) vs. Tampa Bay Rays (-215) | O/U 8 (-110/-110)

The Rays will be going for history today as they could start the season 13-0, which would be the best mark since 1900. The team is excelling with their hitting and pitching and are top five in batting average, ERA, home runs, runs scored, and quality starts.

Jeffrey Springs will get the start, and he rolled through his first two outings, allowing no runs and three hits through 13 innings. However, it was against Oakland and Detroit.

The Red Sox offense is not the problem, and they proved that yesterday with seven runs. Unfortunately, they played from behind throughout that game as their pitching continued to struggle.

Corey Kluber will face the team he pitched for last year. His second start was a huge improvement from his first, and he located his pitches much better, but that was against an inferior Pittsburgh lineup.

The upgrade in the offensive competition will be a wake-up call for each pitcher. I'm not ready to give the Rays their first loss, but I believe they'll need to score a lot to get it done.

Pick: OVER 8 (-110)

NHL Best Bets

Jason Robertson OVER 1.5 Points (+140)

Dallas is in a competitive race with Colorado for first place in the Central. The Stars have a one-point lead, but the Avalanche has two games remaining and a regulation/overtime win advantage. They rolled to a 5-2 win last night, with Joe Pavelski scoring a goal, giving him five in the previous six games. Robertson had three assists, giving him 12 points in his last five
With this game having meaning, the Stars should have their full lineup on the ice. I'm backing Robertson to have multiple points, something he's done in six of his last seven games.
