    Analysis

    I gave out the Orioles on opening day and mentioned Trevor Rogers could win the AL MVP this season. He certainly looks like a strong candidate through his first three starts where he posted a 1.89 ERA over 19 innings. Arizona is in a tough spot after using six pitchers in its 4-3 win over Philadelphia on Sunday. Pete Alonso could break out of his early season slump here. He's 5-for-11 with four home runs in his career versus Ryne Nelson. I like this Diamondbacks team long-term but this is their seventh straight road game and it might be the last time we get decent odds on Rogers at home.

    Analysis

    Hard to find a team with too much to play for this early in an MLB season, but Monday back home sure feels like a spot the Yankees are going to treat a bit different than a typical mid-April game having lost five straight and rumors flying about Aaron Boone being the first manager canned. Unless the other New York manager (Carlos Mendoza) gets fired first, that is. Quite enjoying all the bad baseball in Gotham. Just not Monday in this case please. I could definitely see Aaron Judge going yard off struggling Angels lefty Yusei Kikuchi (0-2, 6.75). Think Yanks not bat bottom nine would be a solid alternative to knock this number down a bit.

    Analysis

    This is another game where I expect a Minnesota Wild team locked into the 3 seed in the central to rest some key contributors over the final two games. While we don't know who will sit in this game I actually show value in the dog if the Wild were at full speed. Look for the Blues to potentially close a short favorite before puck drop on Monday night.

    Analysis

    Really strange hockey weekend, I have to say. Some results still have me puzzled. San Jose is all but eliminated from playoff contention and has lost three in row. It hasn't played outside the West Coast in weeks. Nashville, meanwhile, is neck-and-neck with Los Angeles for the West's final WC spot and has won four of six. The Preds aren't getting in without two points Monday (may not anyways).
