HOU @ PIT • Tue 1:05pm
PIT-145Money LinePicked: Mar 17 @ 10:41amAnalysis
Pittsburgh has the second-best record in the Grapefruit League and is starting pretty much every regular in the lineup today from lovely Bradenton -- where the Bucs are 7-3. Starting pitcher Mitch Keller has been excellent this spring with a 1.23 ERA over three appearances. Houston is starting no regulars and has three road wins in Florida. -

CAR-132Money LinePicked: Mar 16 @ 2:17pmAnalysis
The Carolina Hurricanes lead the league in shot differential (+541) and boast the NHL’s best shots against metric. They also have a +57 high-danger differential. The Columbus Blue Jackets rank 25th in shots against, with a +31 shot differential and a +23 high-danger mark. Both teams will play with two days' rest. Carolina is 6-3 in such situations, averaging 3.7 goals for and 2.8 goals against. Columbus is 4-7, averaging 2.2 goals for and 3.5 goals against. The Blue Jackets have gone to overtime in six of their last ten games, winning just two. The Hurricanes are 17–6–1 in games where they score at least one power-play goal, and 3–0 when coming off two or more games without a power-play tally. -

BOS @ MON • Tue 7:00pm
MON -1-103SpreadPicked: Mar 17 @ 8:36amAnalysis
Last meeting between Original Six rivals and important in the East playoff race. Boston is a fine team but dragged to overtime last night in a loss at New Jersey to fall to 1-8 in its past nine road games. The Bruins did save No. 1 goalie Jeremy Swayman for tonight, but his road GAA of 3.32 is more than a goal higher than his home number, and Swayman has a 3.68 GAA in three starts this season against Montreal. -

J. SuggsUnder 24.5-108PTS + AST + REBPicked: Mar 17 @ 9:34amAnalysis
Jalen Suggs has been playing good basketball and the Magic are markedly better with him on the court. That being said, this is a large combination line that I would argue is slightly inflated coupled with a brutal matchup against the leagues best defense. The Magic are also 9.5 home underdogs which presents significant blowout risk as well. Suggs has been held under this line in 59% of his starts this season. -

TB @ SEA • Tue 10:00pm
SEA +1.5-154SpreadPicked: Mar 16 @ 6:10pmAnalysis
Very solid price Tuesday on Seattle at home, where it is 23-12 ATS. A very long road trip is up next so it's crucial to get at least a point for West wild-card hopes. Trade acquisition Bobby McMann finally made his Seattle debut over the weekend off injury and post-trade from Toronto and has totaled five points in two games with his new club. Underrated addition at the deadline. The Lightning have been mediocre since the Olympic break and this starts a four-game trip. The Bolts have lost five of their past six away. -
