NHL – (61) WINNIPEG at (62) VEGAS  9:05 ET  NBCSN

Just like in Game 3, there is skepticism about Vegas winning and they slipped from -130 to -115. Have to hand it to the Golden Knights, their style of play exposes the other team's weaknesses and they have neutralized Winnipeg's speed in the last two contests. You also have to consider how well Marc-Andre Fleury is playing and the fact the Jets are 2-8 against starting goalies saving 93% or more of shots against this season.

MLB – (915) OAKLAND at (916) TORONTO  7:05 ET  CSCA, SNET (side and total)

Oakland is a pesky 4-3 on this AL East road trip and they have scored at least five runs in five of those games. The only pitchers that have held them down are Luis Severino and Chris Sale, which is not a shocker. With this, the A's have tumbled from +140 road underdogs to +110 at Toronto in the second game of the series and the total has also been lowered from 10 to 9.5. Given we have Oakland's Brett Anderson (0-2, 8.16 ERA) vs. the Blue Jays right-hander Marco Estrada (2-3, 5.32), the OVER would seem to have real possibilities. Concerning the money line, I'll take a flyer on the A's with Toronto 7-17 after a game with a combined score of 15 runs or more.

MLB – (925) TAMPA BAY at (926) L.A.A. ANGELS  10:05 ET  FS-SUN, FSW (side and total)

Tampa Bay has caught fire on the road, winners of four in a row and five of six. That is why it is odd to see them rising like gas prices in Anaheim from +115 to +135. Sure, Blake Snell (4-3, 3.12) had a rough go in his last outing, but prior to that, he had posted six quality starts. Besides, it not like the Angels Nick Tropeano (1-2, 3.64) is an All-Star. The Halos are 4-14 in home games vs. an AL starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.40 or better since last season. With Mike Trout mired in the worst slump of his career at 0-19, the Angels are averaging 3.0 RPG in their last seven tries and the total was lowered from 8.5 to 8. I will go contrarian with the Rays is 7-0 OVER as a road underdog of +100 to +150 this season.
