---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A rare day without baseball, a winning day in the NBA. A solid 2-1 and of course the loss is once again to a team playing without their star(s). Yesterday we got burned by Cleveland, Portland, and Washington. Today we got beat by Oklahoma City, and once again we lost outright. 

One of the things to notice when a team plays without their starters......they play a lot harder.  Think about it, you get guys that usually don't play or get limited minutes.  All of a sudden they are getting 30 minutes, and they are out there busting their ass. Combine that with an opponent that really doesn't care.....Minnesota......and you have the recipe for not just a non-cover but an outright loss. Definitely something to think about moving forward. 

Today is the final day of the regular season, and I have several plays.  I am going to list them all, and probably suggest passing some of them. There are also several games that do not have a line, as several key players may be taking the night off.   Let's get to it.

                                      NBA

Indiana -12.5: (86-47, 5-4)

Orlando -2: (28-14, 4-3)

Detroit/Orlando OVER 206.5: (71-35, 1-1)

Minnesota +8: (34-11, 2-3)

Minnesota/Houston OVER 227: (41-14, 8-7)

Brooklyn/Chicago UNDER 213.5: (43-13, 15-6) 

The Indiana game has an opponent (Atlanta) most likely resting players. We are 0-4 playing against the team resting players this week, but Indiana needs the win to make the playoffs so its a play.  I'm OK with the Orlando side and total. Minnesota is playing Houston which has a playoff seed locked up. Minnesota on a BTB. I am staying clear of this crapfest, both the side and total. If they both win so be it. Brooklyn resting half their team, so the Under is in play. Grab it asap its dropping.

More plays will be added in the morning after the rest of the lines come out.

                                 MLB - TOP PLAYS
Toronto -192
Chicago Cubs -136
Chicago Cubs (-1.5) +171

                                 MLB - REG PLAYS
Minnesota +133 (+110 min)
St Louis +179
Chicago White Sox +218
San Diego +115 (+110 min)
Texas +126 (+110)

Minnesota, San Diego, and Texas must be at least +110. I would wait on SD, the other 2 look safe.  Its rare I play a ridiculous favorite at -192, but its the same angle as St Louis over the weekend (10-4 win). It hits at a very high rate, justifying the heavy juice. Cubs the same angle as Monday night, hoping we can get the RL this time. 

Looks like a very busy Wednesday night, lots of hoops and bases. I have all of my NBA playoff angles ready to go, and I will post some select games during the NHL playoffs too. Again, check back in the morning for added plays. Have a Great Day and Good Luck with your action.

9:30 am EDIT:
San Diego is a PASS.  I had a play on both sides once the line jumped up. 

ADD ONS:
                               MLB-TOP PLAY
Texas/LA Angels UNDER 8.5 (-114)

                                       NBA
Washington/Miami UNDER 202.5: (63-29, 19-11)
Denver/Oklahoma City UNDER 224: (39-13, 6-3) (65-34, 16-8)
Los Angeles Lakers +13.5: (21-9, 2-2)

This is the final list. All NBA games are plays with the exception on Minnesota/Houston. San Diego is a PASS in MLB.

Very busy day.
