Show Bio
We’ve got another huge sporting Sunday ahead of us with NBA and NHL playoff games, the final round of the PGA Championship with a 175/1 shot leading by 3 strokes, a big MLB slate, F1, MLS, the final day of the EPL season and the start of the French Open tennis. It sounds like there’s no time to lose, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
Heat hold off Celtics
It looked like we would see a huge blowout in last night’s NBA playoff game as the Heat led the Celtics by 25 points in the first half, then a comeback for the ages looked possible, but Miami held on to win 109-103 and take a 2-1 series lead. The Warriors are FanDuel Sportsbook’s -125 favorites for the championship, with the Heat now +300, the Celtics out to +330 and the Mavericks +1500.
Amazing day of MLB handicapping for Pickswise
The Pickswise MLB handicappers went a sensational 13-2 on money line/run line picks on Saturday (Tigers-Guardians was postponed), while Mark Lammey went 2-0 on his MLB player props, taking our record to 6-1 over the last 4 days! The Mets and Rockies split their doubleheader with the Mets winning the first game 5-1 but Colorado hitting back with an 11-3 victory.
Avalanche win on the road
The Colorado Avalanche grabbed a valuable 5-2 road win in St. Louis to go 2-1 ahead in their series with the Blues.

Best Bet of the Day
New York Rangers ML vs Carolina Hurricanes
3:30 pm ET, ESPN
The New York Rangers head back home to Madison Square Garden for Games 3 and 4 after dropping Games 1 and 2 on the road in Carolina. This is a must-win game for the Rangers, but the good news for them is that Games 1 and 2 were extremely close. The Hurricanes have yet to win a game on the road in the postseason, as they lost all 3 games in Boston in the first round. Given how well the Rangers played at home in the first round against Pittsburgh and the importance of this game, the Rangers have a great chance to hit back. Check out our full preview of Hurricanes vs Rangers.
