Rotation #513
Timberwolves +7.5 over Nuggets (loss)
Minnesota is in survival mode playing a few games at the end of the year that they had to win. Denver knew they would be a top seed for most of the year and will have to kick-start the intensity back up tonight. The Nuggets are a great team that should be fine winning at home, but Minnesota will give them problems in this series. One area for improvement the Nuggets have is they are sloppy with the ball sometimes and can’t generate turnovers. The Nuggets are a poor foul-shooting team which hurts them covering big numbers like this. Look for Minnesota to fight to the last minute tonight. They have value with tonight’s generous spread. Take the Timberwolves.

Rotation #916
Blue Jays +110 over Rays (loss)
Manoah/McClanahan
The Rays had a historic start to the season, with their win streak ending in Toronto. The Blue Jays went on to win another game and can sweep Tampa today with a win. Toronto is a power-hitting team like Tampa but has a home-field advantage. Toronto is hot right now and should complete the series sweep. Alex Manoah is a good pitcher that has yet to start the season the way he liked. Look for Manoah to bounce back today and lead his team to the win. Take the Blue Jays.
