BALTIMORE @ SEATTLE | 05/05 | 3:40 PM EDT
BALTIMORE +110
ANALYSIS: John Means has quietly been one of the most dominant pitchers in the league this season going 3-0 with a 1.70 ERA in six starts this season. However, the thing about his performance that catches my eye is he has been dominating against known lefty-killing lineups like the Red Sox, Yankees, and Athletics (twice). Yusei Kikuchi is also coming off a career-best outing but he has been extremely inconsistent. Perri has the right idea, these games have been so close between these teams and the Orioles have the SP and lineup advantage while the Mariners pitched their top relievers last night, so honestly, they should be favored. Take the value In the Orioles before it flips.
MONTREAL @ OTTAWA | 05/05 | 7:00 PM EDT
OTTAWA +125
ANALYSIS: These two teams are sneakily two of the hottest in the Canadian division right now. The Senators are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games while the Candiens have won three games in a row. The Senators are 12-10-4 at home this season and they are 5-4 against the Canadiens this season. The Canadiens just won this matchup in OT four days ago but they were home, take the value in the Senators.
NASHVILLE @ COLUMBUS | 05/05 | 7:00 PM EDT
NASHVILLE -180
ANALYSIS: The Predators are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games while the Blue Jackets are 1-5-4. With a win and a Stars loss to the Lightning, the Predators can clinch a playoff spot tonight. The Predators are 6-1 against the Blue Jackets this season and they went up 3-0 in their last game before winning 4-3 in OT. However, I think the Preds will be more cognizant of a comeback this time around, and the Blue Jackets have not scored more than three goals in any of their last 10 games. Take the Preds while they’re hot.
ANAHEIM @ ST. LOUIS | 05/05 | 8:00 PM EDT
ST. LOUIS -245
ANALYSIS: The Blues are on fire right now having won five of their last six games and putting themselves in position to clinch a playoff spot tonight against the Ducks. The Ducks are 3-7-0 in their last 10 games and they score the fewest goals in the league. The Blues are 5-2 against the Ducks this season, look for them to clinch tonight at home.

BALTIMORE @ SEATTLE | 05/05 | 3:40 PM EDT
BALTIMORE +110
ANALYSIS: John Means taking the mound? Orioles at plus money? Yes, please. Means has already faced the Mariners and had one of his worst outings of the year. Players remember these things and want to improve, so I imagine Means has studied the tape and bounces back nicely against a beatable Mariners team. The O's are better on the road this year, 9-6 SU compared to 5-10 at home, and have been more competitive than expected. The same way you always have a hard time getting value on the Yankees because of their name, you can expect the opposite with the Orioles. This is a good price.
DETROIT @ BOSTON | 05/05 | 7:10 PM EDT
BOSTON -1.5
ANALYSIS: Another even-money line on a favorite play of mine? The Tigers scored 7 Tuesday and I can almost promise that they wont reach that number again Wednesday, as they've only eclipsed it once all year. In fact, yesterday was their second-best offensive night and they still didn't cover the run line. That brings the ATS slide for Detroit to six games and, with the Red Sox being one of the best-hitting teams in baseball, I will back them to again win by multiple runs (-1.5, +100). Especially at home, where their splits are better than their average.
CHI. WHITE SOX @ CINCINNATI | 05/05 | 12:35 PM EDT
OVER 8.5
ANALYSIS: Officially, the Reds went Under last night. But to anyone who played the line early in the morning, it was a push. That's how we do it. We also do not get scared off the play that still didn't lose even when one team only allowed two hits! How's that for a powerful White Sox lineup? Well, the Chicago squad, which is top three in average and OBP, is likely going to be met with more competition Wednesday. This should help us again get to nine. At even money, this is a clear play.

PHOENIX @ ATLANTA | 05/05 | 8:00 PM EDT
PHOENIX -1.5
ANALYSIS: The Suns had to crank things up in overtime to pull out a win against Cleveland on Tuesday. Every win is important for them as they try to secure the top seed in the Western Conference because there’s a chance that they could have to play the Lakers or the Mavericks in the first round if they fall to the second seed. Phoenix is 19-12 ATS on the road and 10-5 ATS in the second game of a back-to-back set, so I’ll take the Suns to pull out a win. Another note: The Hawks are only 8-13 ATS versus teams that have won more than 55 percent of their games.
