| NHL | (55) Philadelphia Flyers at (56) New York Islanders: Total | 7:07pm EDT - Apr 3/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Under 6.0 (-120)
With much on the line, there should be a playoff-like atmosphere for this one. I'm expecting goals to prove hard to come by. The last meeting had a final score of 4-0, Sorokin recording the shutout for the Islanders. Speaking of shutouts, the last time that the Isles were off consecutive losses, they responded with a 1-0 victory. The previous time they were off b2b defeats, the Isles bounced back with a 2-1 win. Let's go with the under.

| MLB | (951) Atlanta Braves at (952) Arizona Diamondbacks: Spread | 9:40pm EDT - Apr 2/2026 |
The PLAY: Arizona Diamondbacks +1.5 (-156) Ryne Nelson (RHP) Must Start
Off yesterday's 1-0 victory, the Diamondbacks have won three straight. They've also taken six of the past eight meetings vs. the Braves, including each of the past four. Half of those eight games, including the most recent Atlanta win, were decided by a single run. Nelson's numbers from his first game weren't great but keep in mind that he was on the road, against the Dodgers. He was the Dbax top starting arm last season. He was 5-1 with a 2.71 ERA at home last season and he recently closed out a solid spring with a dominant effort in his final start. The Dbax played here in Arizona yesterday while the Braves played in Atlanta. In what may be another close one, let's grab the extra +1.5 runs with Nelson and the Diamondbacks. *good to -165
