TORONTO @ N.Y. YANKEES | 05/11 | 12:35 PM EDT
N.Y. YANKEES -135
ANALYSIS: If momentum from a night game carries over to a day game, the Yankees obviously have all of it after Aaron Judge's walk-off three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth Tuesday night. And while the Jays had to use their closer in Jordan Romano, who took the loss, the Yanks didn't use Aroldis Chapman. That could matter today. Yanks starter Jameson Taillon has a 2.45 ERA in two starts this year against Toronto, while the Jays' Jose Berrios has a disappointing 5.34 ERA on the season. 5.74 in two road starts and 5.40 in his lone outing vs. New York. Judge is 6-for-12 with a homer off him. If you are wondering why this number has come down a bit since an opening of Yanks -145, my assumption is because Giancarlo Stanton is not in the NYY lineup. Still like New York at this cheap price.

TORONTO @ N.Y. YANKEES | 05/11 | 12:35 PM EDT
TORONTO 115
ANALYSIS: I guess I am playing contrarian today but the Yankees were getting no hit through 5 innings yesterday before coming alive. There was also some umpire controversy that took away from a very good game that could have affected the outcome with Yimi Garcia wrongfully getting ejected. Giancarlo Stanton isn’t in the lineup today for the Yankees while the Blue Jays are playing all their regulars. The Yankees have won 14 of their last 17 games but they won’t keep this pace up all season. Jameson Taillon pitched well against the Blue Jays but that was just 8 days ago, advantage goes to the hitter when he sees a pitcher twice in 8 days. Jose Berrios has been hit or miss lately but he is more than capable of pitching well against a right handed heavy Yankees lineup and its not like he was terrible in his first game against the Yankees allowing 3 ER in 5 IP. I like the value in the Blue Jays.
HOUSTON @ MINNESOTA | 05/11 | 7:40 PM EDT
HOUSTON -125
ANALYSIS: The Twins lost a bunch of key players in a matter of games and I am kicking myself for not checking the Twins lineup yesterday because of it. However, Carlos Correa, Luis Arraez, and Trevor Larnach were all place on the IL recently and those are three of their hottest hitters. Byron Buxton was also out of the lineup yesterday with an injury. He could be back in tonight, but even if he is, that is a lot of star power missing behind him. Jose Urquidy has pitched well this season although he has tended to struggle a bit on the road. The Astros bullpen is rested and they are ranked 2nd best in the league. I like this value on the Astros to win their 9th straight game against the beat up Twins tonight.
MIAMI @ ARIZONA | 05/11 | 3:40 PM EDT
ARIZONA -110
ANALYSIS: Sandy Alcantara has struggled this season, and the Marlins are struggling right behind him. The Diamondbacks just swept the Marlins in Miami and they have a chance to sweep them at home as well today. Merrill Kelly has been dominant this season pitching a quality start in four straight games and not allowing an earned run in 3 of his 6 starts. The Diamondbacks were also able to give their worked bullpen the day off with their big win yesterday while the Marlins needed to go to theirs very early with Jesus Luzardo not making it deep. These two teams are headed in complete opposite directions right now and the Dbacks are hot. I like the Dbacks as a pick em.
WASHINGTON @ FLORIDA | 05/11 | 7:30 PM EDT
WASHINGTON 190
ANALYSIS: Maybe the Caps go quietly after going up 2-1 but I think they’ll win at least one of these next two games. They blew the lead late in their last game but they didn’t deserve to win honestly after playing really well in two of the first three games. Tom Wilson still hasn’t skated so he is most likely out for the series but he was out after the first period after scoring in Game 1 so the Caps have been doing all of this without him. Ilya Samsonov has been good for the Caps and if this team gets consistent goaltending, they will have a chance. I feel like the refs will swallow their whistles tonight and let the boys play, but if they don’t, the Caps have been dominating the special teams battle. Either way, the Caps are much closer to even here than the oddsmakers continue to give them. Take the Caps.
PITTSBURGH @ N.Y. RANGERS | 05/11 | 7:00 PM EDT
N.Y. RANGERS -135
ANALYSIS: We will give the Rangers one last chance because honestly, they have looked terrible. They were anchored by probable Vezina Trophy winner in Igor Shesterkin but he has struggled this series. The Rangers have also been terrible in front of him. The Penguins won’t take the game off but they would be perfectly fine with going home up 3-2 in this series with a chance to close it out at home. I thought this was going to be a seven game series but I might have been very wrong there, so we will see if the Rangers can avoid losing this series at home in 5 games.

MILWAUKEE @ CINCINNATI | 05/11 | 12:35 PM EDT
OVER 9.5
ANALYSIS: I approach this over with a bit more skepticism as it's at 9.5, but the Reds have now had nine straight games go over the posted total. Last week, the Reds were able to score four runs off of Adrian Houser, and the Brewers got seven off of Vladimir Gutierrez. Both teams' bullpens are worn down, so they should provide ample opportunities for runs. All of five times these teams have played each other this season have gone over.
