EPL: Liverpool vs Manchester United – Over 3.5 goals (+125), 3:00 pm ET
Liverpool roared into a 3-0 halftime lead over Manchester City in Saturday’s FA Cup semifinal at Wembley, holding out to win 3-2 in the end, and the Reds are bidding for an 11th straight home win in the Premier League. United may struggle to keep the scoreline respectable against a team that won October’s reverse fixture 5-0 at Old Trafford. Take over 3.5 goals in the game.

MLB: San Francisco Giants ML (+100) vs New York Mets, 3:10 pm ET
Both of these teams have been profitable so far, especially San Francisco, which has been an underdog in every game except for Sunday’s. The Giants are underdogs again at the Mets. I am looking at this one as a bit of a fade of Tyler Megill, who can’t be expected to keep the Giants off the scoreboard and has to be overvalued. The Giants are the better value and in great form, so backing them is the play.

NBA: Atlanta Hawks +7 (-105) vs Miami Heat, 7:30 pm ET
The Hawks seemed to fall victim in Game 1 to having traveled to 3 different cities and played 3 games in 6 days. John Collins will need to be better offensively, as will many of the other supporting players. I expect that to happen, and it will be hard for the Heat to shut down Trae Young again. With the line moving in the Hawks’ favor, back them to cover, although Miami will probably win the game.

NHL: San Jose Sharks vs Columbus Blue Jackets – Over 6 Goals (-110), 10:35 pm ET
These teams combined to score 10 goals in their first meeting, so it shouldn’t shock anyone to see another high-scoring affair. San Jose has had poor goaltending for most of the season, while Columbus has been even worse and ranks 29th in goals against per game. It’s hard to imagine this game without a ton of scoring chances and defensive breakdowns. The over should be able to hit comfortably in this game.
