Wise n' Shine: NBA Finals predictions, MLB best bets and NHL Stanley Cup picks for Wednesday, June 7

Good morning, Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday of sports. The NBA Finals returns with Game 3 in Miami, and we also have another huge slate in the MLB, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better!

About Last Night

Rangers keep roaring
The Texas Rangers have transformed into baseball’s best offense as they beat the Cardinals again last night and now average the most runs per game in the league. However, it was announced that their ace, Jacob deGrom, will have Tommy John surgery and be out for the next 12-15 months. Around the MLB, the Red Sox beat the Guardians 5-4, the Reds beat the Dodgers 9-8, the Athletics crushed the Pirates 11-2 and the Rays beat the Twins 7-0.

A .400 hitter in the MLB?
Luis Arraez can make history this season if he continues to hit the way he has. After a 2-for-4 night on Tuesday, the Miami Marlins second baseman is now hitting .401 on the season. The best batting average in MLB history is .406, set by Ted Williams in 1941, so Arraez has his work cut out for him for the remainder of the season.

Best Bet of the Day

NBA: Denver Nuggets ML (-140) over Miami Heat
8:30 pm ET, ABC

Unless Jimmy Butler proves that his ankle is healthier and will allow him to take over a game offensively, it’s fair to trust the Nuggets to clean up their act and extend their streak of 3 straight road games covering against the spread, and by extension, winning this game to go up 2-1 in a series they were heavily favored for. Read our full Nuggets vs Heat predictions.
