3 Unit Play. Take #972 Baltimore +120 over Tampa Bay (7:05p.m, Saturday, May 21 MLB.tv) The  Orioles put a hurting on Tampa Bay yesterday with an 8-6 extra inning victory, that we feel will boost them to another win today. They have the bats and they're finally starting to get hot. Tampa Bay is definitely the better team at this point, but momentum plays a big part in MLB and with the Orioles walking off a win against the Yankees in the last game of that series, then their win last night, we see them coming to play again today. If they can put 5 runs on the board (and we think they will), they are 10-3 when they do.

4 Unit Play. Take #980 Toronto (-1.5 RL) -120 over Cincinnati (3:07p.m., Saturday, May 21 MLB.tv) The Reds have played a little better of late, but they are still a terrible team. Toronto plays in a very tough division, the AL East, and they need to beat the bad teams in order to have a chance to win the wild card. Cincinnati is 15-36 in their last 51 road games.

3 Unit  Play. Take #649 Over 169 in Phoenix @ Las Vegas (3p.m., Saturday, May 21 ABC) Phoenix has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 6 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Las Vegas has gone over the posted total in 12 of their last 17 home games.

Both games have gone under so far in this series, but we think things will open up a bit here in Game 3. There were plenty of shots in the first two games and we think some more will go in here on Saturday. Both teams are in the Top 5 offensively for goals per game, and we think Colorado will be very aggressive here as they need to open up the floodgates for scoring to get back into this series. Six straight meetings had gone over the posted number before this series. The over is 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings in St. Louis. We expect the highest scoring game of the series so far here tonight.

Both teams have won a blowout game in this series. Game 1 was a free for all where there wasn’t much defense played in the first half and both teams were hot shooting. Game 2 saw lots of easy baskets in garbage time in another blowout. But this is such an important game in this series that we expect both teams to get serious about defense here. It’s very telling after two high-scoring games that the bookies haven’t made a major adjustment to this number. We think the books are begging the public to jump on the over here, but we will side with the books and sharp money here with a strong position on the under.

4 Unit Play. Take #904 Philadelphia over Los Angeles (1:35p.m., Sunday, May 22 MLB.tv) The Phillies do not want to get swept at home and thus need to win this game on Sunday afternoon. Xach Eflin pitched well in his last outing and look for another strong showing on Sunday. The Phillies are 9-2 in their last 11 games after losing the first two games of a series.

3 Unit Play. Take #906 Miami (-1.5 RL) +170 over Atlanta (1:40p.m., Sunday, May 22 MLB.tv) Both of these teams have been disappointing thus far with the Braves the defending champions, yet under .500. Atlanta is 1-6 in their last 7 games played on Sunday. Miami is 12-5 in their last 17 games against NL East teams.

2 Unit Play. Take #657 Chicago over Washington (3p.m., Sunday, May 22 ABC) We will side with the defending champions on Sunday with the status of star player Elena Delle Donne still up in the air. Washington was lucky to win last time out against Atlanta, but I do not expect that good fortune today in the nation’s capital.
