Ideal weather conditions with very warm temperatures in St Louis expected Wednesday afternoon. Also expected at Busch Stadium is that the wind will be blowing out. The Royals Brad Keller and the Cardinals Adam Wainwright both enter this start having endured recent struggles. Also, Kansas City entered Tuesday's game with an O/U of 15-8 this season in games against teams with a winning record. Royals O/U is 14-8 in day games this season. Per the above as well as the simulation report, play OVER

Simply because the Raptors prevailed in double OT in Game 3 now instead of Toronto being a 2.5 point favorite against in Game 4, the Bucks are the 2.5 point favorite. Per the simulation report, this has resulted in substantial value on the home dog. Game 3 was an all out war and there is no real justification to expect that, just because Milwaukee fell short that they will absolutely bounce back here. The fact is that the situation is really just the opposite as, had the Raptors lost, the series would essentially be over. Instead, Toronto is very much alive and they are fully capable of again finding a way to get another win on their home floor here. The Raptors have new life and are 14-1 SU in Tuesday games this season and 3-1 SU in this post-season when trailing in a playoff series. Play TORONTO

The Sharks are banged up but also facing elimination. San Jose is fully capable of rallying the troops for a key road win to force a Game 7. Road wins have been a story line in Blues post-season games throughout these playoffs. In St Louis post-season games this year the road team has won 12 of the 18 games. The Sharks have won 8 of 10 this season after scoring 1 goal or less in their previous game. The Blues have lost 4 of 6 in this post-season when they are leading in a playoff series. Per the above as well as the simulation report, play SAN JOSE

The Pirates have won 3 straight and the Rockies have lost 4 straight but Colorado is the play at Pittsburgh here based on a decided pitching edge. The Pirates Chris Archer is struggling this season and recently returned from the disabled list and struggles continued as he got crushed by the Diamondbacks. The Rockies German Marquez has a 2.55 ERA on the road this season which ranks among the best in the National League. Colorado also ranks better in bullpen ERA in comparison with Pittsburgh. The Rockies are 7-3 in Marquez starts this season while the Pirates are 1-5 in Archer's starts. Per the above as well as the simulation report, play COLORADO

It is now or never or the Blazers. Ever since getting steamrolled in Game 1 of this series (seemingly weary from the just-completed 7-game war with the Nuggets), Portland has shown signs of life in each of the last two games. However, the Trail Blazers have been done in by poor second halves. This should be the game they put it all together as the Warriors relax a bit too with the 3-0 lead. Golden State is 14-24 ATS this season when off a win by a double digit margin. The Blazers are 3-1 ATS in this post-season when trailing in a playoff series. The simulation report is forecasting that the Trail Blazers will finally play a complete game here and either get the win outright or lose by a single possession like they did in Game Two. With that said, grab the points. Play PORTLAND

The Red Sox entered their weekend series with the Astros having won 6 of 7 games. Boston won those 6 games by an average margin of 5 runs per game. Considering that fact, it comes as no surprise that the simulation report has picked out the Red Sox -1.5 runs as a top investment for Monday. The Blue Jays entered Sunday's game having lost 13 of their last 17 games. 11 of Toronto's last 12 losses, entering Sunday, had come by a multiple run deficit. Per the above, when Boston wins it is often big and when the Jays lose it is often big! The Blue Jays are starting journeyman Edwin Jackson here while the Red Sox have a proven starter in David Price on the hill. Pitching match-up, the hotter team, and the right "price" for Price make this an ideal spot for the RUN LINE play on Boston -1.5 RUNS

Bucks O/U is 8-4 this season when they are an underdog. Milwaukee O/U is 4-2 in this post-season when they are leading in a playoff series. Raptors O/U is 19-11 this season when they are playing with revenge. Toronto O/U is 6-3 their last 9 games versus the Bucks. Neither team shot better than 32% three pointers in Game 2 and that game still went over the total which says quite a lot. Per the simulation report, another high-scoring game on tap in Game 3. Play OVER

The Brewers lost the opener of this series so, no matter what Saturday's results is, they'll be motivated Sunday because Milwaukee will be looking to either win the series or to avoid being swept. Based on the pitching edge here, this match-up favors the Brewers in a big way. Milwaukee's Woodruff is 6-1 this season and has a 2.65 ERA in his road starts and a 1.06 ERA in his last 3 starts overall. The Braves Foltneywicz is struggling badly and Atlanta is 0-4 in his starts this season as he has compiled an 8.01 ERA in those outings. Woodruff will be making his first starts against the Braves. Foltneywicz started against the Brewers last season and gave up 5 runs in 6 innings. Per the simulation report, this game will be a rout. Play MILWAUKEE

Warriors O/U is 8-13 when they are an underdog. Golden State O/U is 9-16 in conference finals games. Portland O/U is 5-8 in conference finals games. Trail Blazers shot very well with three pointers in Game 2 and the Warriors shot very well with three pointers in Game 1 but the O/U is 1-1 and could easily be 0-2. The pace has been rather slow in these games with the teams averaging only 83.5 field goal attempts per game. Play UNDER

Off a 6-0 shutout home loss yesterday the Reds will respond here. Buehler gets the start for the Dodgers Saturday and he is 4-0 in his 8 starts this season but his 4.15 ERA is higher than the 3.97 ERA of the Reds Mahle. The markets see Mahle's 0-5 record and are running the other direction but Buehler is off a rare exceptionally strong start while Mahle is off a rare sub-par start. The result is line value as there will be a regression to the mean for both starting pitchers here per the simulation report. Los Angeles entered yesterday's game just 10-10 in road games this season. The Reds entered yesterday's game having gone 9-4 in their last 13 home games. After the ugly Friday loss for the host it is payback time. Play CINCINNATI
