Tonight’s card: Giants ML -118 and Mariners ML -150.
SF is the cleanest number on the board. SEA is playable too, but lineups still matter. Everything else is chalked up, overpriced, or too messy to force.
Little late sorry
Selective late MLB slate:
Best bet: White Sox TT Under 3.5 at +100 to -115
Why: Chicago’s bats have been weak, Lugo is the cleanest SP left on the board, and KC’s refreshed bullpen makes the derivative stronger than laying Royals ML.
Pass Mets-Dbacks: under case was there, but 6.5 is too compressed
Pass Rockies-Padres: Colorado lineup/innings path still too unclear
Thin board. One real number. Restraint is the edge.

Sorry a little late today..
Only number I really like pregame is Iowa +7.5.
Illinois probably wins, but Iowa takes care of the ball and feels live to keep it close. If it drops to +6.5, I’m good.
Purdue-Arizona feels way more like a live spot than a pregame bet.
At the current number, I’d rather wait and see if Purdue +6.5 pops or if you can grab Arizona cheaper live after a hot Purdue start.
Sweet 16 Friday = patience, not spray-and-play.
Only clear pregame edge: Michigan -9/-9.5. Best path is structural — paint scoring, rebounding, rim protection — against an Alabama team still too dependent on 3s.
Rest of board:
• Duke likely wins, but St. John’s only interesting at +7 or better
• UConn–MSU feels live-only; market already tightened
• Tennessee–Iowa State is injury-sensitive with Jefferson status shaping everything
• Alabama–Michigan total is better attacked live after an early cold stretch
Theme of the slate: don’t confuse better team with better bet. Respect fragile shooting teams, whistle-sensitive favorites, and injury news that changes the game’s actual mechanism.
Thursday Sweet 16 plan:
Purdue-Texas: Wait. Only interested in Purdue at -7 or better. If Texas starts well, look for a better Purdue live number.
Nebraska-Iowa: Nebraska -1.5 pregame. Playable to -2.5.
Arkansas-Arizona: Pass pregame. Look for a live over if the game starts slow and the total drops into the 158.5 range.
Illinois-Houston: Over 140.5 pregame. Playable to 142.5.
Best pregame looks: Nebraska -1.5 and Illinois-Houston over.
