NBA pick today: Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat – Over 208.5 points (-110), 7:00 pm ET
Tonight will see the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat for the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Head-to-head stats are in favor of an over, with 8 of the last 12 cashing on that bet, including all 3 meetings this season. These 2 teams have also combined to go over in 13 of their last 17 games, so backing the over tonight will be our play.

MLB pick today: Texas Rangers ML over Houston Astros (+140), 8:10 pm ET
In a battle for the lone star state, the Rangers take on the Astros. The Rangers are starting Martín Pérez, who has a 2.53 ERA after 2 starts. He is just another cog in an incredible pitching machine that is top 10 in ERA, WHIP, K/9 and HR allowed. Texas is 7-5 and FanGraphs has its pitching ranked 2nd behind only the undefeated Tampa Bay Rays. Because the Rangers have the pitching advantage and the Astros’ have struggled early on, backing the Rangers to win will be our play.

NBA pick today: Oklahoma City Thunder +5.5 over Minnesota Timberwolves (-110), 9:30 pm ET
The Thunder showcased their resiliency in the first round of the play-in tournament, mounting a 2nd half comeback to edge past the Pelicans. It was an impressive win against a Pelicans team that was at one point in time at the top of the Western Conference standings. For Minnesota, it was an absolute collapse and a lack of offense when it needed it most in a loss to the Lakers. The Timberwolves held a 7-point lead heading into the 4th quarter before going completely stagnant offensively. Because the Thunders are a young up-and coming team, while the Timberwolves are a team at the center of dysfunction and disruption, backing the Thunder to keep this game close will be our play.

MLB pick today: Chicago Cubs +1.5 over Los Angeles Dodgers (-140), 10:10 pm ET
The Chicago Cubs will start Justin Steele, who has had a near perfect start to his season. He has allowed just 1 run and 7 hits in 12.0 innings. The Dodgers will start Noah Syndergaard, who has been decent since returning from Tommy John surgery a few years ago. Through 2 starts this season, opponents are hitting .286 against him and he was rocked by the Diamondbacks in his most recent outing. Because the Cubs have the pitching advantage, backing them on the run line will be our play.
