Great fucking day yesterday going 4-1 and the 1 loss we had a 2 run lead with 1 out in the 9th inning before they blew it so the 5-0 day was right there. I want a sweep, 4-0 today, let’s get it!! 9-1 start to the MLB season is straight gas. Let’s keep it rolling!

Orioles (Wells) (-144) 🥉
The Orioles have smoked the Angels in each of the first 2 games of this series with scores of 11-3 & 13-4 so let’s ride with them today.
They are facing Reid Detmers who went 4-10 last season.
Tyler Wells will start for the Orioles & Mike Trout has teed off of him in the past but that’s the only guy in the Angels lineup who has done anything against Wells.
The Angels are hitting .071 through the first 2 games and the O’s are hitting .303.
Let’s go O’s!

Blue Jays (Gausman) (-118) 🥇
I got some cool stuff in my Easter basket but getting the pre season AL Cy Young favorite at this price is probably the sweetest thing of the day.
Kevin Gausman comes off a season where he ranked 2nd in strikeouts and 7th in ERA. He’s held this Rays lineup to a .180 avg in 61 at bats.
Shawn Armstrong is opening for TB & the Blue Jays lineup is hitting just under .408 against him in 59 at bats. It’s tough to say who will follow him but I trust Gausman more than anyone that’s coming out of the Tampa bullpen today.
Great value on the Blue Jays today.

Guardians (Carrasco) (-116) 🥈
The Guardians have taken the first 3 games of this series and the offense has been hot scoring 26 runs in those 3 games.
They will face Paul Blackburn today who they come in hitting .353 against in a small sample size.
Carlos Carrasco will pitch for CLE & he went just 3-8 last season which is ugly but he beat this A’s team and held them to 2 runs.
Let’s take the Guardians to finish off the sweep today.

Tennessee / Purdue Under (147.5) 4️⃣
Tennessee comes in with the #3 adjusted defense ranking and 8 of their last 11 games have gone under.
Purdue has 7’4 Zach Edey and Tennessee doesn’t have anyone that stands 7 feet tall so it’ll be tough for them to score inside.
They’ve held 5 of their 6 combined opponents to under 70 points in the tournament.
Purdue ranks 181 & Tennessee ranks 120 in pace of play so that is another good trend for the under here.
These two played each other in the regular season and finished with 138 points.
A trip to the Final Four on the line today, I think we will see both teams dig in defensively.
