Tampa Bay at Oakland 9:40 ET

Rays over A's- These two will be meeting each other for the first time in two years as they did not meet last season because if the shortened schedule. The last time that the met was in the 2019 AL Wild Card match where the Rays won 5-1 defeating today's starter for Oakland Sean Manaea (3-1, 3.48 ERA who surrendered four runs in two-plus innings. Rich Hill )1-1, 6.39) a former Athletics pitcher will start for the Rays as Tampa Bay is 6-0 in their last six games as road underdogs. Take TAMPA BAY!

Seattle at Texas 8:00 ET

Mariners over Rangers- It is no wonder the Mariners were no-hit last time out by Baltimore's John Means as and have they just one player hitting above .250 and MLB team low batting average of .201. Texas will start Mike Foltynewicz (1-3, 4.43 ERA) who had a rough start to the season but is 1-0 with a 3.12 ERA in his last three starts but he is 0-2 with na 9.45 ERA lifetime against the Mariners. Seattle will start Chris Flexen (2-1, 3.33) and they are 14-4 in their last 18 games after a loss and 4-0 after a day off. Although the Rangers hold a strong home series advantage the Mariners have won the past seven meetings. Take SEATTLE!

Boston at Chicago 7:30 ET

Bulls (+) over Celtics- For the first time in over a year there will be fans inside the Unites Center in Chicago as the Bulls host the Boston Celtics. Boston is struggling to stay in the top-6 for the NBA playoffs and are 3-4 SU in their last seven games and 2-5 ATS in their last seven overall. Chicago is off a 120-99 Megabucks win last night at Charlotte and are 13-6 ATS at home against teams with losing road records. Boston is 6-14 ATS in their last 20 following an ATS win and are 0-4 ATS after a SU win. Take CHICAGO!

Denver at Utah 9:00 ET

Nuggets (+) over Jazz- Both of these clubs are playing without their leading scoring guards as Utah's Donovan Mitchell and Denver's Jamal Murray are both injured. For the Jazz the news gets worst as Mike Conley is also sidelined and they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. This 'price' seems low as the Nuggets are just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games in Denver but 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings overall. Denver has won 10-of-12 with out Murray and they get the cash tonight. Take the NUGGETS!

L.A. Lakers at Portland 10:00 ET

Lakers (+) over Trailblazers- Oh my, the Lakers are truly floundering having lost 7-of-9 and with just one 'cover' in their last nine games going 1-7-1 ATS. Of course this is for the most part without LeBron James who attempted to play twice in that time only to beg out with pain. Portland just completed a 5-1 road trip but are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as home favorites. LA has had the best of it in Portland going 5-0 ATS in the last five trips tp Portland and are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take the LAKERS!
