The MLB Comp play is on Kansas City tonight at 8:10 eastern. Nice dog here in the Royals who have won 7 of the last in the series against the Twins. KC is 3-0 with rest this year vs a team with no rest. KC has won 3 of the last overall. Nick Cameron has looked good in his first two starts allowing just 1 run in 12 innings. He will go up against Lopez for the Twins who also has been solid this season and pitched well in a loss in KC earlier this year. Both teams have 27 and 28 wins this season and the Twins have lost 2 of the last 3 after the long win streak. Now lets have some fun in the Database. Game 1 road dogs in divisional play with a winning record that are off a road dog win at +170 or more are 4-0 since 2004 vs a team like the Twins that are off a home loss. Consider KC Tonight.

The NHL Game 2 side is on Dallas at 10 eastern. Home teams in round 3 of a best of 7 series off  a game 1 win are 66-40. Dallas stole game 1 after being down 2 goals in the 3rd period. Any home teams down two goals more than 30 seconds into the 3rd period had a game record of just 36-393. So this is an Ultra rare come back. Dallas has won 3 of 4 here and took Edmonton best shot. Expect them to be better earlier on here and round 3 game 2 teams with a total more than 6, just one home team which won since 2007. Also of note only one road team in any round off a road loss blowing a 2+ goal lead and that was 2 weeks ago when Toronto lost to Florida. Go with Dallas here.

Game 2 record, NHL only, Semifinals round: 66-40

At 8 eastern the NBA Game 2 power system play is on Indiana plus the points. The Pacers stole game 1 tying the game and forcing overtime on a circus shot then getting a win in the extra session. NY blew a 17 point lead and that could have them a bit deflated here. They should pull out  a win but may not be up big like they were and seeing what the Pacers did to the Cavs, they wont be satisfied with just getting a win and going home. Looking at the system for this game Rob notes that playoff home favorites off a home favored over time loss are 1-12 to the spread if they blew a lead of more than 5 points. Round 3 home teams in game 2 off a loss are 25-17 and actually play better off a win. Interestingly there has only been 1 team that was a road dog off back to back road dog wins and a prior home dog win and that team covered and it was against NY. Play on the Pacers plus the points here.

The WNBA Totals Play is on the UNDER in the Connecticut at Minnesota game at 7:30 eastern. Game 4 home favorites of 10 or more with a total of 145 or more are perfect to the Under if they won their first 3 games. In the series 3 of 4 here have stayed under. The Lynx have gone under in 2 of the 3 games this year. The Sun have not looked good losing the first two at home and shot 34% last out and will have trouble scoring here. Look for this game to stay under.

 Welcome to the 3RD season of the UNSURPASSED Collection. This is a newer product line from Rob. The selections are derived from a unique formula consisting of a complex predictive analytical model and multi sequenced simulation indicators. The UNSURPASSED play is on the OVER in the NYY at Colorado game at 4:10 eastern. MOVE ON THE OVER 10 RUNS

At 7:15 eastern the A.L. Central Power Play is on Detroit. The Tigers are 3-0 at home off back to back home losses. Casey Mize is on the mound and he has been solid at home allowing 1 or no runs in ALL home starts this season. Ortiz for Cleveland has allowed 9 runs in 15 innings of late on the road. Cleveland has taken the first 2 of the series. For our Data Engineered System Rob notes that Divisional home favorites in at least the 3rd game of a series that are off 2 home losses and were not shutout and have a home win percentage are 8-0 and win by 4 runs per game vs a team like Cleveland that has a .500 or better road record and is off 3 straight road wins. Play on Detroit

The NHL Game 3 power system play is on Carolina at 8 eastern. The Panthers look to bounce back after losing the first two at home. The last of which as a 5-0  blowout. Now they come here and have to play their best game or this series is over. They do have a win here 3-1 this season and Rob notes that home favorites off back to back road dog win regardless of Round are WINLESS if they shut their opponent out in the last win. Interestingly the Panthers were in this exact situation last year at home against Tampa Bay and lost 5-1 at home. All time in this round home teams up 2-0 with the first two wins on the road are 11-9 not as good as one would have thought. Look for Carolina to sneak back into the series tonight.

The SERIE A play at 2:45 Eastern is on AC Milan -1.5 goals. This battle of Northern Italian rivals has been dominated by AC who has won 14 o 16 meetings and is 7-0 at home in the series keeping 6 clean sheets. AC Milan will be motivated after losing the Coppa Italia final to Bologna and then to Roma last week. Monza has lost 10 of 11 on the road and allowed 3 goals in the 2nd half losing at home last out. Look for AC To get a multiple goal win.

The NBA Round 3 play is on Minnesota plus the points at 8:30 eastern. The Wolves likely bounce back here as Round 3 game 3 teams off back to back straight up and ATS losses and shot less than 475 from the field are 5-0 Straight up. Teams up 2-0 ALL Time in this round are 23-37 on the road. The Wolves split the season series with OKC so they know what it takes to win over the Thunder. The Wolves are 6-0 off back to back losses since January. Make it Minnesota
