The line opened at -8 and now has moved to -9 and with good reasons. The Nuggets will have 10 days of rest while the Heat are coming from a very streesful where they almost lost it against the Celtics. The Nuggets are clearly the better team here and should dominate at home.

The Panthers have won 5 games in a row and they will be well rested for Game 1 while the Golden Knights are coming from a tough series against the Stars. In the regular season Vegas beat the Panthers 4-2 at home but I expect a much closer game so I'll take the Panthers +1.5.

Houston are 12-3 in their last 15 games, 7-1 in their last 8 games at home and 4-1 in their last 5 games when playing at home against Minnesota. The Astros have the advantage on the mound as well.

NY Mets are 8-4 in their last 12 games, 6-0 in their last 6 games at home and 7-1 in their last 8 games when playing at home against Philadelphia. However it's hard to trust in Carrasco and with Nola for the Phillies I think Philly wins.

Cincinnati are 3-11 in their last 14 games against Boston. the last game was defined by one run and the red sox had a lot of errors I expect Boston to come out on fire on this game against Weaver who has a 5.45 ERA.

Milwaukee are 2-4 in their last 6 games against Toronto and 3-10 in their last 13 games on the road. The Blue Jays offense is hot right now and even with Manoah struggles I think they still win this game.

The total has gone under in 14 of San Diego's last 20 games and in 9 of San Diego's last 12 games against an opponent in the National League. With this pitching matchup I don't expect many runs on this game.

Washington Nationals are 3-11 in their last 14 games against LA Dodgers and 2-5 in their last 7 games on the road. Irvin has been awful lately and will face one of the hottest offenses in the MLB. I like the Dodgers to win in a high scoring game.

San Francisco are 6-1 in their last 7 games at home and are 5-0 in their last 5 games when playing at home against Pittsburgh. They're on fire offensively to it will be tough for Oviedo to stop them.

NY Yankees are 5-0 in their last 5 games on the road and 14-5 in their last 19 games when playing on the road against Seattle. They have a tough matchup against Gilbert but they have pounded him in past seasons.

The total has gone over in 5 of Colorado's last 7 games when playing on the road against Arizona and it has gone over in 4 of Colorado's last 5 games against an opponent in the National League. Even with these 2 great pitchers I still like the over.

Atlanta are 11-1 in their last 12 games against Oakland and 7-1 in their last 8 games when playing on the road against them. The pitching matchup benefits the Braves and it's hard to believe they'll lose against the worst team in the league.

Ryan is a great pitcher but he has struggled against the Astros in his career and he allowed 4 runs earlier this season against them. Bielak is capable of holding down the Twins for 5 to 6 innings. I like the Astros to bounce back and get the win.

The total has gone over in 10 of Miami's last 12 games on the road and it has gone over in 5 of Miami's last 6 games when playing on the road against Boston. As this is a game 7 the oddsmakers are expecting a defensive battle but 203 points seems to low for me. I like the over.

The total has gone under in 4 of Vegas' last 5 games on the road and it has gone under in 5 of Vegas' last 5 games when playing on the road against Dallas. Expect another close game and while the Stars will probably win the best play is the under.
