CHI. CUBS @ SAN FRANCISCO | 06/03 | 9:45 PM EDT
SAN FRANCISCO -125
ANALYSIS: Anthony Desclafani has been good for the Giants this season 4-2 with a 3.56 ERA and his ERA is really only that high due to allowing 10 earned runs in 2.2 innings against the Dodgers. Zach Davies is 2-2 with a 4.65 ERA this season and he had a 1.62 ERA in seven starts in May. However, the Cubs are a completely different team on the road where they are 11-13. Zach Davies is 0-1 with a 6.41 ERA in five road starts this season. The Giants are 15-8 at home, take the Giants.

N.Y. METS @ SAN DIEGO | 06/03 | 10:10 PM EDT
N.Y. METS +162
ANALYSIS: The Padres have been without Fernando Tatis Jr. who is day-to-day with an injury, then yesterday Tommy Pham and Ha-seong Kim collided and both needed to leave the game. The Mets have actually returned a lot of their starters including James McCann, Pete Alonso, and Kevin Pillar and the Mets have won six of their last seven games. The Padres have lost four straight and Yu Darvish is coming off his worst outing of the season. Taijuan Walker has a 1.84 ERA this season and is more than capable of pitching a gem. Take the value on the Mets.

BOSTON @ N.Y. ISLANDERS | 06/03 | 7:30 PM EDT
N.Y. ISLANDERS +120
ANALYSIS: The Islanders blew a 3-1 lead in the third period last game only to win it in OT. I think that momentum carries over to the island where the stadium will be rockin’. The Islanders were one of the best teams at home all season and they are getting plus money. The Bruins lose all four games they played in New York this season. Take the value on the Islanders.

TAMPA BAY @ N.Y. YANKEES | 06/03 | 1:05 PM EDT
TAMPA BAY +193
ANALYSIS: The Yankees top three relievers in Jonathan Loaisiga, Chad Green, and Aroldis Chapman have all pitched each of the last two nights. Gerrit Cole is always good but he did allow three runs in 6.1 IP in his first outing against the Rays at home. Ryan Yarbrough has been better without an opener recently and the Yankees are actually ranked 20th in the league in OPS against lefties. If the Rays can keep this game close, they could easily win it off the Yankees backup closers. Take the value in the Rays.

WASHINGTON @ ATLANTA | 06/03 | 12:20 PM EDT
WASHINGTON +130
ANALYSIS: The Nats have now won two games in a row, but most importantly, their bats have finally woken up. Patrick Corbin has been very hit or miss this season but he does get deep into games. However, the Braves are starting lefty Tucker Davidson who made one start this season allowing three runs in 6 IP against the Mets. The Nationals have the fifth highest OPS in the league against lefties and the Nationals bullpen has been much better than the Braves. Take the value in the dog.

DENVER @ PORTLAND | 06/03 | 8:00 PM EDT
PORTLAND -200
ANALYSIS: Home-court advantage is going to be huge here -- the Blazers are being allowed to increase attendance to 10,000 for Game 6 -- because both teams are surely going to be gassed after their double-OT epic in Game 5. The fans will help fire up the Blazers. One major key is Jusuf Nurkic avoiding foul trouble as he's about the only body the Blazers have to even slightly deal with Nikola Jokic. Portland is plus-54 in Nurkic’s minutes so far this series and minus-57 when he's off the court. Playing at home, the refs should be a bit kinder to him. It's Damian Lillard, though, who forces a Game 7.

TEXAS @ COLORADO | 06/03 | 3:10 PM EDT
TEXAS +120
ANALYSIS: I've won on the Rockies on the runline in both games of this series ... but I'm taking Texas to end its 14-game road losing streak today. Why? The Rangers are 12-8 against left-handers and Colorado is starting southpaw Austin Gomber (3-4, 4.55). The Rox also are without a handful of regulars either for rest in a getaway game or injury (Trevor Story).

ANALYSIS: With Anthony Davis (groin) out, Los Angeles was dismantled by Phoenix, losing Game 5 by 30 points to go down 3-2 in the series. Does Davis return for Game 6 to try and keep the Lakers alive? If he does, there’s a chance that he’s limited, both in terms of playing time and his role in the offense. If he can’t play, then this game also could get out of hand early. Either way, I’ll take the points.

L.A. ANGELS -153
ANALYSIS: The Mariners are 0-19 as road underdogs of more than 130 when seeking same-season revenge against their opponent’s starting pitcher. The Angels are 16-0 in the opener of a series with rest as home favorites after a road game in which they had multiple multi-run innings.

While most of the free world will be backing the Lakers here, I simply³ see it the other way and really like the Suns to close out this series tonight. I just don't see Davis being anything close to being able to dominate/have a big game IF he even plays tonight. His groin injury needs time to heal, period & the Lakers do not have the proper time needed for Davis to be healthy enough to be the kind of dominate factor the Lakers absolutely need him to be to beat this Suns club. I feel very strong that this Suns club will close out this Lakers team w/no Davis or a severely hampered Davis if he does give it a go tonight. The Lakers still have no counter to Ayton for the Suns w/Davis status. I also expect CP3 leadership to get the Suns over the hump here and take care of business on the road. Devin Booker came up huge last game & I expect him to have another outstanding game as CP3 gives him tremendous looks. This Suns club continues to fly under the radar some IMO and they also play very good team defense. I expect a big motivated game from LeBron tonight, but they are going to need "others" to really step up tonight & I just don't see enough from the "others" that's going to be needed to beat these Suns tonight. The bottom line for me here, is that the Lakers really need a healthy Davis to beat these Suns right now & that's just not going to be the case. I fully expect the Suns to come away with a hard fought win tonight & close out the Lakers & end the series tonight.

Game: (543) Phoenix Suns at (544) Los Angeles Lakers
Date/Time: Jun 3 2021 10:30 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 3 units
Play: Phoenix Suns +2.0 (-110)
The Suns gave us one of the easiest covers of the year in their last game, building a 30 point lead at halftime and cruising to victory. If we learned anything from last game, it’s that the Lakers can’t compete with Phoenix if Anthony Davis doesn’t play. AD is currently listed as questionable as this is written. However, even if he does play it’s unlikely he’ll be able to be as effective as the Lakers need. Once again the market isn’t showing Phoenix any respect. Take the Suns.
