FREE PICK - Atlanta Braves -155
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 974

I got no problem laying the -155 juice on the Braves at home in Thursday's series finale against the Blue Jays. Neither starter has pitched great in 2021, but I definitely have more confidence in Atlanta's Charlie Morton than I do Toronto's Ross Stripling. 

The Blue Jays are just 1-3 in Stripling's 4 starts, as he comes in with an awful 6.61 ERA and 1.898 WHIP. It's really been bad in his two road starts, where he has a 7.71 ERA and 2.571 WHIP. As for Morton, he's got a 4.98 ERA and 1.369 WHIP in 7 starts. 

I know Atlanta's offense hasn't been great, but this has historically been the time to jump on them. Braves are 21-6 in their last 27 after hitting .225 or worse as a team over a 5 game period. They are also 23-8 in their last 31 with a OBP of .285 or worse in their last 5 games. They have gone 20-7 in their last 27 after losing 2 of 3 and 23-6 in their last 29 after scoring 2 or fewer. Give me Atlanta -155!

50* (MLB) - Late Night *MAX UNIT* Top Play (Under 7.5) 

I love the UNDER 7.5 in Thursday's late night action on the west coast that has Indians at the Mariners. Neither of these teams are great offensively. Cleveland has scored 3 or fewer in 3 of their last 4 and Seattle has scored 4 or fewer in 3 straight. 

You also got a great starting pitching matchup with Indians' Zach Plesac against Mariners' top prospect Logan Gilbert. Plesac has been outstanding of late with a 1.27 ERA and 0.7500 WHIP in his last 3 starts. He hasn't allowed a run in his last two starts. Gilbert is a kid that has elite level stuff and I really like him to pitch well against this Indians lineup. Give me the UNDER 7.5! 

40* (NBA) Situational ATS SLAUGHTER (Grizzlies -7.5) 

I can't help myself with Memphis as a mere 7.5-point home favorite against the Kings. Memphis sits in the No. 9 spot, but are just 0.5-game back of the Warriors for the No. 8 seed. Catching Golden State would be huge. You get two chances if you are the No. 8, where the No. 9 seed has to win two straight to make it. 

Not only is their motivation for Memphis to play well, but the Kings are missing a ton of key players. They won't have De'Aaron Fox, Tyrese Haliburton, Harrison Barnes, Marvin Bagley or Robert Woodard. This has blowout written all over it. Give me the Grizzlies -7.5! 

40* (NBA) - 76ers/Heat TNT Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER (Heat -1) 

I will take my chances here with the Heat as a slim 1-point home favorite against the 76ers in Thursday's first of two prime time games on TNT. I just don't trust Philly to show up in this spot. I know the 76ers still haven't officially clinched the No. 1 seed in the east, but it's all but a done deal. Even if they lose here, they need to just win their final two at home against the Magic. 

Miami on the other hand has a ton to play for. Thanks to the Celtics loss to the Cavs last night, Heat don't have to worry about the play-in tournament. They do however, have plenty to play for with seeding. Hawks, HEat and Knicks are all fighting for the No. 4 to No. 6 seeds. The key here is the team that finishes No .6 will have to face the Bucks in the first round. Give me Miami -1!
