3* HEAVY HITTER on Sungjae Im +115

Getting Sungjae Im at +115 in a head-to-head matchup on Sunday is the clear sharp play.
Im is a ball-striking machine who thrives when the pressure ramps up in the final round.

He holds a significant edge over Harris English when it comes to strokes gained on approach.
Im consistently puts his iron shots closer to the pin, giving him more looks at birdie and fewer stressed pars.

His history at Augusta National is stellar, including a runner-up finish and a high rate of top-10s.
He understands the angles of this course and rarely puts himself in a spot where he can't save par.

Harris English is a great putter, but he has been fighting his swing throughout the week.
Relying on the flat stick to save your round is a losing strategy on these lightning-fast greens.

English ranks lower in greens in regulation and often has to scramble just to keep pace.
Im’s elite bogey avoidance will be the difference-maker as the pins get tucked into difficult positions today.

The South Korean star does not rattle and his workhorse mentality is perfect for a Sunday grind.
We are getting the more reliable tee-to-green player at an underdog price.

The value is too high to pass up on a guy who hits as many fairways and greens as Im does.
Expect English to eventually falter while Im stays steady throughout the afternoon.

I like the Sungjae Im ML (+115)

3* HEAVY HITTER on Rory McIlroy -120

Rory McIlroy is the clear side in this Sunday matchup at Augusta.
He has spent over a decade learning every break and grain on these greens.

Cameron Young is a premier ball striker but he lacks the Sunday experience needed here.
Young relies heavily on his power off the tee to gain an advantage.

Augusta National neutralizes that edge because most elite players are long here.
The real difference shows up in the approach play and proximity to the hole.

McIlroy is currently ranking near the top of the field in Strokes Gained: Approach.
His iron play is dialed in and he is hitting far more greens in regulation than Young.

Young has struggled with his scrambling and bogey avoidance throughout this tournament.
You cannot afford to leak strokes on the par 5s if you want to keep pace with Rory.

McIlroy’s Sunday scoring average in majors remains among the elite.
He knows exactly when to attack and when to play for the center of the green.

Young has yet to prove he can stay mistake-free when the pins are tucked on the back nine.
The pressure of a Masters final round usually exposes a shaky short game.

Rory has the massive experience edge and the better form with his scoring clubs.
He is playing for a green jacket and his putting has looked much more reliable this week.

We are getting a short price on the more complete player at a course he loves.
The gap in course history makes this a primary target for the final round.

Bet Rory McIlroy ML (-120).

4* VEGAS INSIDER on Suns +6½

The Suns are catching way too many points in a game that has massive seeding implications on the final day of the season.
Oklahoma City is a powerhouse at home, but 6.5 points is a massive number for a veteran Phoenix squad that is finally healthy.

Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are both in the lineup and finding their rhythm at the perfect time.
The Suns’ offense is currently top-five in effective field goal percentage over their last ten games.

Oklahoma City has struggled to cover as large home favorites against teams with multiple elite scorers.
The Thunder’s defense relies on forcing turnovers, but Phoenix has done a much better job protecting the ball lately.

Phoenix is 7-3 ATS in their last ten games as a road underdog.
They have the veteran poise to stay composed when the Thunder go on their trademark runs.

The Thunder played a physical game on Friday night and this Sunday matchup is their second high-intensity contest in three days.
Meanwhile, the Suns have had two full days of rest to get their legs under them for this road trip.

Look for Phoenix to use their size advantage in the midrange to negate the Thunder's shot-blocking presence.
Devin Booker has historically torched this Oklahoma City backcourt and I expect another big night from him.

The Suns are looking for revenge after a close loss earlier this season and will keep this within a bucket.
Take the points with the more experienced team in what will be a playoff atmosphere.

I like the Suns +6.5 (-105)

4* VEGAS INSIDER on Braves -155

The Atlanta Braves are the clear side tonight at Truist Park. They just dismantled Cleveland 11-5 on Saturday and the gap in offensive talent is massive right now.

Cleveland is hitting a miserable .188 as a team to start the 2026 season. They rank 28th in batting average and near the bottom of the league in slugging percentage.

The Braves offense is clicking with Ronald Acuña Jr. back in elite form at the top of the order. Acuña homered in the series opener and is finally finding his rhythm after a slow start.

Atlanta currently ranks 9th in slugging and 10th in home runs. Cleveland simply does not have the firepower to keep up in a scoring race.

The pitching matchup heavily favors the home team as well. Atlanta’s staff has been dominant with a 2.20 team ERA that ranks 2nd in the majors.

Even with Spencer Strider currently on the injured list with an oblique strain, this rotation is limiting damage with a 1.00 WHIP. Cleveland’s staff is struggling to find consistency and carries a 4.50 ERA into this matchup.

The Guardians are also missing key bullpen pieces like Hunter Gaddis. This is exposing a middle relief unit that has been prone to giving up big innings late.

Atlanta’s bullpen is rested and ranks significantly higher in limiting opponents' batting average. This Sunday night spot favors the home team coming off a dominant blowout win.

Trust the better lineup and the superior arms to get the job done again. Atlanta has the clear edge in every meaningful statistical category.

I like the Braves ML (-155)

4* VEGAS INSIDER on Angels +110

The Angels are sitting in a prime spot to take this series finale as a road underdog. The market is putting too much weight on Cincinnati’s home-field advantage at Great American Ball Park today.

The Reds are sending a starter to the mound whose ERA looks much better than his actual performance. His FIP is nearly a full run higher than his ERA, which means he has been getting lucky with fly balls staying in the park.

That luck likely runs out today against an Angels lineup that ranks near the top of the league in hard-hit rate. Los Angeles has shown they can punish mistakes, and this specific park is unforgiving for pitchers who give up loud contact.

The Reds used their top two high-leverage bullpen arms for heavy innings during the game on Saturday. Those arms are likely unavailable for this Sunday afternoon tilt, leaving a massive gap in the late innings for Cincinnati.

The Angels have a rested back end of the bullpen ready to shut the door. They also hold a significant edge in early-season splits against right-handed pitching, which is what they face in this matchup.

Cincinnati’s offense has struggled with consistency through the first two weeks of April. They are currently striking out at a 26% clip, which plays right into the hands of the Angels' pitching staff.

The value is clearly on the visitors to get the win at a plus-money price. Expect the Angels' bats to jump out early and the bullpen to hold the lead through the final frames.

I like the Angels ML (+110).

5* NO BRAINER on Orioles -105

The Giants are walking into a trap with this early Sunday start in Baltimore.

This is a 1:35 PM local start, which means a 10:35 AM body clock game for a West Coast team.

San Francisco historically struggles to find their timing in these early East Coast windows.

The Orioles offense is locked in at home and currently ranks in the top five for home runs this month.

Baltimore's lineup features elite young talent that excels against right-handed pitching.

The Giants are sending a starter to the mound whose xFIP is nearly a full run higher than his ERA.

He has been getting lucky with fly balls staying in the park, but that luck ends at Camden Yards.

The Orioles have a massive advantage in the late innings with a much deeper bullpen.

Baltimore’s high-leverage relievers are rested and have shown elite strikeout rates through the first two weeks.

San Francisco’s middle relief has been taxed lately and is prone to giving up the long ball.

The Giants have struggled to string hits together and rely too much on small ball to move runners.

Baltimore has the power to change the scoreboard with one swing, which is vital in a close game.

The current line is essentially a pick'em, which is a steal for the better overall roster at home.

The Orioles have been dominant in day games over the last season and a half.

Expect the Baltimore bats to jump out to an early lead while the Giants are still waking up.

I like the Orioles ML (-105).

3* HEAVY HITTER on Mavs -6½

Dallas has everything to play for on this final day of the regular season. They need this win to lock up home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Chicago is in a terrible spot playing their second game in as many nights. They played a hard-fought game in Brooklyn on Saturday and had to fly into Dallas late last night.

The Bulls have struggled with fatigue all season on zero days of rest. They are just 2-9 against the spread in the second half of back-to-back sets this year.

The Mavericks have a massive rest advantage having been off since Friday. They are 8-2 straight up and 7-3 against the spread with two or more days of rest.

Dallas owns the best effective field goal percentage in the league over the last three weeks. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are both fully healthy and clicking at the right time.

Chicago’s perimeter defense is a major liability right now. They rank 27th in the NBA in opponent three-point percentage over their last ten games.

The Mavericks will exploit that weakness early and often. Dallas is averaging nearly 15 made triples per game during this home stand.

The Bulls are likely to limit the minutes of their starters today with their play-in spot already secured. There is no reason for them to burn out their main guys in a meaningless road game.

Dallas is 12-4 against the spread in their last 16 games as a home favorite. They have been dominant at American Airlines Center and usually put weak opponents away early.

Expect the Mavericks to jump out to a double-digit lead by halftime. The Bulls simply don't have the legs or the motivation to keep up with this high-powered offense.

I like the Mavs -6.5 (-105).

4* VEGAS INSIDER on Magic -8½

Orlando is the only team on the floor with a real reason to show up for this regular-season finale.
The Celtics have already clinched the best record in the league and have absolutely nothing to play for on Sunday.

Boston is expected to rest their entire starting rotation to ensure everyone is healthy for the postseason.
You won’t see their stars logging any meaningful minutes in a game that doesn't change their seeding.

The Magic are currently locked in a high-stakes battle to avoid the Play-In Tournament.
A win here is mandatory for Orlando to secure a guaranteed playoff spot and a week of rest.

Orlando brings a top-five defensive rating into this matchup and they play a physical brand of basketball.
Boston’s second and third-string players will struggle to find clean looks against that elite length and pressure.

The Magic have been one of the most profitable ATS teams in the league this season when listed as a favorite.
They have shown a consistent ability to bury inferior lineups and rarely play down to their competition.

Expect the Magic to keep their foot on the gas to build a lead and get their own starters some rest late.
Orlando has a massive advantage in the paint and should dominate the rebounding battle from the opening tip.

Boston has zero incentive to fight back or expend energy if they fall behind early in the first half.
Their only goal today is to get through 48 minutes and head into the playoffs with a clean bill of health.

The motivation gap in this season finale is massive and the line isn't high enough to account for it.
Take the team that needs the win to keep their season goals alive.

I like the Magic -8.5 (-108)

5* NO BRAINER on Spurs -120

San Antonio enters the regular-season finale as a 60-win juggernaut playing in front of their home crowd. They have already locked up the number two seed in the West and have no reason to let up now.

Denver is in a completely different headspace. They sat their entire starting five on Friday and are expected to prioritize rest again tonight.

The Spurs have a specific motivation factor with Victor Wembanyama. He is dealing with a rib contusion but needs to log 20 minutes tonight to remain eligible for postseason awards.

San Antonio will likely play their starters early to secure his stats and keep their overall rhythm high before the playoffs. The defensive matchup is a nightmare for a depleted Nuggets roster.

The Spurs rank sixth in the NBA by allowing only 111.3 points per game. Denver’s defense has plummeted to 20th overall as they have focused on getting to the finish line healthy.

San Antonio also owns the glass in this matchup. They rank second in the league in rebounding at 47.1 boards per contest.

De’Aaron Fox gives the Spurs a massive advantage in the backcourt against Denver's bench depth. The Nuggets are on the back end of a road trip and won't put their stars in harm's way for a meaningless finale.

Wembanyama leads the league with 3.1 blocks per game and will dominate the interior against Denver’s secondary scorers. The Spurs are 1-2 against the Nuggets this year and this is a prime revenge spot to even the series.

This price is far too low for an elite home team playing against a squad that is essentially punting the game.

I like the Spurs ML (-120)
