Good morning, Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another tremendous Tuesday of sports. Congratulations to the Connecticut Huskies, who won the NCAA Tournament in commanding fashion last night. The college basketball season is over, but we have plenty of NBA, NHL and MLB action today — plus soccer and Masters golf is fast approaching, too, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
25/1 Huskies take the title
UConn swept to a 76-59 win over the San Diego State Aztecs in the national championship game. That cashed our pick of Huskies -7.5 and was also great news for anyone who followed Caleb Wilfinger’s advice to take the Huskies at 25/1 in our NCAA Tournament preview!
NHL mega parlay cashes at +790 odds!
The Pickswise cappers had a perfect day on the 3-game Monday NHL slate, going 3-0 and cashing our Monday mega parlay at +790 odds! The picks included the Golden Knights ML at +115 odds for their 4-3 shootout win over the Wild, and Mark Lammey, architect of the mega parlay win, also cashed his best NHL player prop.
Rays, Twins still unbeaten
Our MLB experts were also ahead on Monday, going 9-7 with their picks. The day’s notable results included the Brewers shutting out the Mets 10-0 and the Giants beating the White Sox 12-3, while the Rays and Twins remain unbeaten at 4-0.

Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 over Kansas City Royals
7:40 pm ET
All eyes are on Yusei Kikuchi tonight. The lefty was horrendous in his first season in Toronto and made his 3 year, $36 million deal look like a terrible mistake, but he has developed a new pitch that Kevin Gausman described as a “curveball-slider-ish type thing”, and it was downright filthy in spring training. It led to Kikuchi having the lowest ERA and the most strikeouts of any pitcher in spring training. In 20.2 innings, the southpaw had a 0.87 ERA with 31 strikeouts. Kansas City’s Kris Bubic was also dreadful in 2022 and his control continued to be a problem in spring training with 7 walks in 10.1 innings, and that could be his biggest weakness against a patient and powerful Blue Jays lineup. Read our full Blue Jays vs Royals predictions.
