TAMPA BAY @ N.Y. ISLANDERS | 06/19 | 8:00 PM EDT
N.Y. ISLANDERS +110
ANALYSIS: I thought the Islanders did enough to win in Game 3, they were just unlucky with the result. The Islanders were one of the best home teams in the league this season and I would find it hard to believe if they take a game in Tampa but can't hold a game at home. Fort Neverlose will be rocking as always and I like the Islanders to even this series up.

TAMPA BAY @ N.Y. ISLANDERS | 06/19 | 8:00 PM EDT
N.Y. ISLANDERS +110
ANALYSIS: The Islanders out-shot and out-hit the Lightning in Thursday's one-goal loss. New York created more scoring chances and was the more physical team. Barry Trotz is a good coach and I have a lot of faith in this squad. In the conference finals, it's difficult for a team to win two straight on the road. I'm all over the Islanders in this spot.

Game: (923) Boston Red Sox at (924) Kansas City Royals
Date/Time: Jun 19 2021 4:10 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Westgate
Play Rating: 4 units
Play: Boston Red Sox -126 Action
Boston took a loss in the opening game of their series in Kansas City Friday night. I wouldn’t expect similar results Saturday against a team that had lost 6 straight (they were swept by the Tigers) and 11 of 12 prior to the win. Martin Perez is a guy that we’ve backed before, and he was having a very strong year prior to his last 2 starts. Those starts were not good which is why were getting such a great price. However, it’s not like Brad Keller has been any better. Keller allowed 7 runs in his last start against Detroit and 5 the start before that. He’s facing a much better offense on Saturday and one that will be ready to play coming off a loss. Take the Red Sox.
Line Parameter: 4 units at -130 or less, 3 units at higher than -130
Game: (915) Los Angeles Dodgers at (916) Arizona Diamondbacks
Date/Time: Jun 19 2021 10:10 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 4 units
Play: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-135) W Buehler (RHP), M Peacock (RHP) Must Start
The Dodgers shut out Arizona Friday night, winning 3-0 to hand the D’Backs their 15th straight loss. AZ has now lost 29 of their past 31 games. Why wouldn’t we continue to “fade” a team on a horrendous run like this, especially with Walker Buehler on the mound? Buehler has yet to lose a game this season and hasn’t allowed a single run in his last 2 starts. Matt Peacock is unbackable and the team is breaking records for losing streaks. Take the Dodgers run line.
Line Parameter: 4 units at -135 or less, 3 units at higher than -135

5* Oakland Athletics +1.5
3* Brooklyn Nets -110
2* Nets-Bucks under 215
5* Oakland Athletics +1.5
Regardless of if this game is at 1:00pm ET or 10:00pm ET, this play is 5 star caliber. I would probably bet Oakland as an underdog, but for the sake of this 5 unit play I am going to take the +1.5 runs on the RL. Oakland is 133-100 in the L233 on the road, and 292-194 in the L486 overall. They are also 6-1 in the L7 overall, averaging 6.3 runs in those games while allowing only 3.9. On the road Oakland is 18-8 on the RL on the road TY, including 9-3 in the L12 as an AD. Following a game where they scored 5 or more runs the Athletics are 23-7 SU in the L30, scoring 5.07 runs in those 30 games, allowing only 3.37 runs, and vs. RHP Oakland is 13-3 on the RL following a 5+ run performance. The other big factor in this game is the fact that Bassitt is on the mound, he is 7-2 TY, while Oakland is 11-3 in his 14 starts, posting a 3.43 ERA, allowing 3.9 runs on average in his starts, w/ 5.1 runs of support behind Bassitt. In his L3 starts Oakland is 3-0, scoring 7.7 runs, allowing only 3.7 runs in those 3 starts, and in his L7 starts on the road Oakland is (+7.2 units) going 7-0. Even if Bassitt doesn’t make it all the way through this game, Oakland is still backed by a bullpen that has kept it’s ERA to 3.21 TY. New York on the other hand isn’t holding up to the standards that some may have expected with this offense, they are 27-41 on the RL TY, including 12-18 as a HF, 2-6 on the RL @ H vs. RHP in the L8, and 4-13 in the L17 @ H on the RL. In those 17 games the Yankees have been outscored on average by 1 runs (3.41 AF ; 4.41 AA), but in day games the Yankees have struggled even more, going 9-18, batting only .206, which leads to a run differential of (-1.3) (3.3 AF ; 4.6 AA). German is also on the mound for the Yankees, a pitcher who could have debatably been a #1 pitcher in a rotation has now posted a 6.60 ERA in the L3 starts, getting outscored by 2 runs in his L3 starts, allowing 5.3 runs in those 3 games, with only 3.3 runs of support.
3* Brooklyn Nets -110
Brooklyn may again be without one of their many stars but that hasn’t seem to be much of an issue this year. Even without 1 or 2 of the pieces that they have on this team, they still have a more dangerous offense then a lot of teams in the league. The Nets are 6-2 in the L8 as a F w/o Kyrie, outscoring opponents 122.8 - 111.5. They are 34-8 SU @ H TY, 11-3 @ H SU off a L, and 12-4 SU off a L in the L16 overall. Brooklyn is also 5-0 in the playoffs w/ 3 wins in a series when the line is between -3 & 4, they are 6-0 in the L6 games off a L @ H w/ a line > -4 (outscoring opponents 117.2 AF ; 106.3 AA). Milwaukee on the other hand has only been an AD 5 times TY, and they are 0-5 so far this year, getting outscored by 20 PPG ( 102.8 AF ; 122.8 AA), and Milwaukee is 2-6-1 on the road off a W in the L9.
2* Nets-Bucks under 215
So far this series is 1-5 OU in the first 6 games in the series, the Nets are 1-6 OU in the L7, and 3-7 OU in the playoffs so far, while Milwaukee is 2-7 OU in the playoffs. In game 7's the total is 22-52 OU s/ 1996, and even though this total is 215, which is low, even for this series, the series will still have gone under in 4 out of 6 games if the total would've been 215 (but that is the reason that I am limiting this to a 2 unit play). Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, without anything changing, it's hard to believe that we would get a different result then another game under the total.
