Despite losing on Sunday to the Padres, the Dodgers still have the best record in baseball at 13-3. Thanks in large part to their +38 run differential. The Dodgers have scored 90 runs in their 16 games, second only to the Cincinnati Reds. The Seattle Mariners have been a surprise thus far, as they lead the AL West with a 10-6 record. The M's have won seven of their last 10 games. All this despite giving up more runs then they have scored. Dustin May starts for the Dodgers today. He's 2-0 in his two starts with a 1.74 ERA. The M's will start Justus Sheffield who is 0-1 after his two starts. Sheffield has a 4.91 ERA. Might get ugly against this great hitting Dodgers team today for Sheffield. I'm going to play OVER.

The Milwaukee Bucks not having their success from last year, but they are still 3rd in the Eastern Conference, just 2 1/2 games back of the Nets and four games back of the 76ers. They will host the Phoenix Suns here tonight. The Suns are 2nd in the NBA Western Conference and just 1 1/2 games back of leader Utah. The Suns have won eight of their last 10 games. The Suns are 12-5 ATS on 1 day rest. They are also 43-21 ATS over their last 64 overall games. The Bucks are just 7-15 ATS over their last 22 games on 1 day rest. They are also 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games against a team with a win percentage of 60% or more. And, they have failed to cover any of their last five home games. Suns are 5-2 ATS in their last seven trips to Milwaukee. I'll take the visitor here tonight. Play the Suns.

As we get toward the end of the regular season some teams still need wins and others are just playing it out. The Memphis Grizzlies are holding onto that 8th and final playoff spot, two games ahead of the San Antonio Spurs. The Denver Nuggets are in 4th place, just 1 1/2 back of the Suns and three back of the Jazz. The Grizzlies have won two straight games and covered four straight after Saturday's win at Milwaukee, 128-115. Denver has also won and covered two straight. The Nuggets are also 10-2 S/U and 8-4 ATS over their last 12 games. Both teams can use wins here tonight, but in the high altitude I'll take the host here. Play Denver.

 Last stretch of the NHL regular season and these West teams both looking for wins. The Minnesota Wild are in 3rd place with 57 points and look pretty solid at that place. However, the Arizona Coyotes are in 4th place just one point ahead of St Louis and four points ahead of San Jose for that final playoff spot. The Coyotes are just 4-6-0 over their last 10 games while the Wild have won three straight and are 6-3-1 over their last 10. I like the Wild, they are a solid team with a pair of excellent goaltenders. Play Minnesota.
