Good morning Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another super Sunday of sports. There’s a huge day in store in the Masters at Augusta and still plenty of issues to be settled on the final day of the NBA regular season. We also have NHL, MLB and XFL games, plus NASCAR and soccer action, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better.
About Last Night
Crucial wins for T-Wolves and Clippers
The Timberwolves can now finish no worse than 9th in the Western Conference after beating the Spurs 151-131 on Saturday and they could still get ahead of the Pelicans if they beat New Orleans today. The Clippers can finish no lower than 7th after beating the Trail Blazers 136-125, but need another win today to have a chance of avoiding the play-in tournament. Ivica Zubac scored the first basket of the Clippers game to give Pickswise a +470 winner.
MLB parlay cashes at +464 odds
Our MLB cappers had a strong day, going 11-6 on Saturday’s slate, 2-1 on Best Bets, hitting our MLB prop bet and stretching our YRFI/NRFI run to 4-0. We also cashed our Saturday parlay at +464 odds! The Rays continued their astounding start to the season, beating the Athletics 11-0 to move to 8-0.
Our +1085 odds NHL mega parlay wins!
We love it when a mega parlay cashes and we landed a big one on Saturday with our +1085 odds NHL mega parlay. On top of that the Pickswise NHL team went 14-5 overall on picks and 2-0 on hockey player props. One of those prop wins came as Connor McDavid became the first player to score 150 points in a season for 27 years with 2 goals and an assist in the Oilers’ 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 over Oakland Athletics
1:10 pm ET
The undefeated Tampa Bay Rays host Oakland this afternoon. The Rays are not only undefeated, but they have won every game by at least 4 runs. They are 8-0, and we aren’t even completely sure who their closer is yet as they haven’t needed one. There’s no reason to think the run will stop today. Tampa’s offense and pitching are both clicking, and Drew Rasmussen hurled 6 innings of 2-hit baseball the first time around. Check out our full Athletics vs Rays predictions.
