San Diego Padres vs. Boston Red Sox
Fri, Apr 3 · 2:10 PM ET
Our Pick
Padres ML
Odds
+100
Dylan Cease takes the mound for San Diego with a 2.31 ERA over his last 6 starts. Boston's offense has been cold, scoring 3 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 7 games. Getting Cease at even money is genuine value — this line should be -120.
BET THIS PICKFlorida Panthers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
Sat, Apr 4 · 5:00 PM ET
Our Pick
Panthers -1.5
Odds
+127
Florida is the defending Stanley Cup champion and dominant at home. Pittsburgh is 3-7 in their last 10 and has been outscored badly on the road. Getting the Panthers puck line at +127 is excellent value — they win by 2+ goals in over 40% of their home games.
BET THIS PICKBoston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Fri, Apr 3 · 8:00 PM ET
Our Pick
Celtics -16.5
Odds
-110
Boston (50-26) is locking up their seed and playing with urgency. Milwaukee has been decimated by injuries and is 2-8 in their last 10. The Celtics have covered big spreads at home all season, going 14-5 ATS when favored by 10+. Giannis is listed as questionable.

Anthony Edwards has been dominant at home this month, averaging 31.4 PPG. The Wolves' defense (4th in the league) will smother a depleted Sixers roster.

Orlando Magic vs. Dallas Mavericks
Orlando is at home and motivated to hold their playoff position. Dallas has lost 4 of their last 5 and is 2-3 ATS on the road this month. The Magic's defense ranks top-5 in the league and will exploit a Mavs offense that has struggled to score consistently without Luka.
