The early line only on  sports grid. Cosmo was  supposed to fight Sierra  Clark but he had to pull off  injury. You get the call,  you get to go in there. Whas  it like for you when you got  that call? Jumping in there and  be part of this bantamweight  tournament on short notice?  Terrifying man. You know, two  weeks notice against a stud. But  I've been preparing for my whole  life for it, and I couldn't say  no to the opportunity. And you  all saw what happened. I came in  there and kind of shocked the  world. Not kind of. I did only  on Sports Grid. Malaysia. You  guys know I am a huge fan. Has  decided to switch allegiances  and stay in league. And now  she's going to go play for Kim  Mulkey, her Flossie Johnson in  the backcourt. It's going to be  interesting to watch. You wonder  sometimes why roster  construction maybe too much is  not too good. Betting above the  rim only on sports grid. You  don't think that there's  something to the fact that  they blow all these leads  against the Edmonton Oilers.  It's like the Oilers can be  down four goals and they  come back like it's nothing.  We got a series now I think  this thing is going to  reset. Scott I think home  ice advantage is going to  hold true in this series. I  think I told you that last  week. I'm expecting this. I  picked the Kings in seven  before the series started  and it's like plus 700  Farrell coast to coast only  on sports. Hey welcome. And it's in  game live game day on this  terrific Thursday of money  making Thursday. Yours truly  Scott Wetzel along with Dave  Sheriff Pan for the next two  glorious hours right up  until 10 p.m. Eastern Time.  As the NBA playoffs  continue, so does the NHL  playoffs. We got six  combined elimination games  tonight, which is always a  lot of fun. As good as  playoff hockey is  elimination hockey  elimination basketball is  even better, and we got a  couple of baseball games we  can put a couple of shekels  on as well. Plus, the black  clouds are five on the line  trends coming up here in a  couple of seconds. A busy  lineup of guests Tom  Vecchio, little hockey with  him, Adam Kaufman and our  good buddy Cam Stewart to  close out the program.  What's going on, Dave? How  are you tonight, bud? Man.  I'm good. Big night. Yeah,  yeah. Little big night. So I  got the night stuff on the  road, Jersey home, Jersey  work the other night. We'll  see if it works tonight for  the nights. I like them to,  you know, talk. You're  talking about closing out  series and winning it. I  think they do it. I picked  this one up on my trip back  east when I saw you, and we  did the show in the studio.  I never had a Toronto Maple  Leaf hat in my life. It's  been a while since they won  a playoff series, let alone  an elimination game. I  figured tonight was as good  a night as any to break it  out and wear it. So Maple  Leafs Auston Matthews even  got the goal. How about  that? They got two. They  just added another one. I'm  not sure. Yeah I'm not sure  who just just did it. Hit  the horn. Hit the horn. It  kicked off. Let's see who  got this one. Matthews.  Twice. Wow. Wow. You talk  about exercising some deep.  At least. At least the four  letter network is giving a  credit to Matthews anyway.  Maybe they changed it, but  wow, that would be huge,  right? I mean, let's face  it, without really having a  dog in the fight, I do think  it's kind of funny that  Toronto can't win. You know  they're 1 in 13 Dave in  elimination games one and 13  they can't win right.  Everyone wants to blame  Auston Matthews. Rightfully  so. All the others should  deserve some blame too. But  if they're able to win,  clinch the series, clinch it  on the road and get Matthews  to be the hero as he's  setting up right now with  two goals. I mean that that  really exercises. I would  think a lot of demons,  right? Exercise a lot of  things. Yes, Nylander got  the second goal. So just so  like I don't know. Matthews  okay. Yeah. So Nylander got  the second goal. But yes two  nothing for Toronto. That's  good. They went off as the  dog you know right when the  game closed in game number  now would have you laying 7  to 1. Are you comfortable  laying 7 to 1 in a hockey  game in the second period. 7  to 1. Wow. That's a lot.  That's a lot yeah a lot. We  got to get how many. You  know we've sent out a poll  question which is pretty  good question. You know how  many teams or which team  actually is our question  which team we should have  done. How many actually. But  which team likely clinches  the playoff series tonight  in the NHL? Toronto is  obviously got a two nothing  lead. So that might not be  the majority of the picks.  But how many do you think  series survived tonight.  Does Ottawa win Minnesota  win Colorado Edmonton 123. t  there's our poll question which  one most likely wins? I'm hoping  we get two at least I want  because game sevens are always  great. But I like Toronto I like  Vegas, so it's going to have to  be the two late games. Speaking  of late, we're almost going to  be late. We got to get to this  five on the line. It's in  the first segment every day  on In Game Live right here  on Sports Grid. Give the  people what they want.  Wetzel. All right, five best  trends. Here we go. Time for  five on the line. All right.  These are the five best  trends of games that have  yet to get underway.  Generally speaking, we like  to do that whenever  possible. And it was a test  tonight because there's  really not that many late  games with so few baseball  games. But we did get it in.  So all these games have yet  to start. So plenty of time  to get your shekels in on  these. We went four and one  yesterday. There you see  with Winnipeg we hit with  the Brewers. We hit with the  Under A's Texas which oh bye  way had another under this  afternoon. We Kyle Connor with  the shots on goal. The only one  we lost with was was Blues and  Winnipeg Jets as you see there.  I don't know how that series is  an over series, but you know  what? It just is. So all  right so that was yesterday.  We're now by the way 88 and  6127 games over 500. If you  just play these religiously,  which is obviously pretty  darn good. So with that said  here we go. Our five best  trends for tonight. We'll  start from five and work our  way to the best one. Number  five. And this probably  deserves to be number five  right. Clippers 13 and two  straight up last 15 games at  home. Now they did lose game  four at home. So they're  more than capable of losing.  But it's an elimination  game. Denver two emotional  wins back to back I really  would be surprised. So I do  like this one. Clippers 13  and two their last 15. So  where are we going to go.  Let's go. Now we fool around  with the money with the you  know point spreads. Clippers  -260 at home against Denver.  They better win this game. Boy  oh boy. They I mean like this is  the game I this has to win. I, I  like what you did. No point  spread. Just win a game. Go  Clippers. We'll see you in game  seven. All right. Hockey  pick number four a  surprising one really. When  you when you do these  numbers you're like wow.  Really. Colorado seven  straight unders. Believe it  or not at home. And Dallas  is five and one under on the  road. Their last six road  games. So where are we going  to go? How about there you  go under six and a half  Dallas and Colorado tonight.  Well unders are tough right  now in the NHL playoffs. So  hopefully this is not too  big of a sweat. But three  two final. Here we go. Yeah.  Other side of the coin. How  about some overs LA Kings  seven straight overs.  Obviously going back to the  regular season four and oh  or five and oh actually in  this series which is just  amazing to me. In fact, ten  of the last 14 meetings  between these two teams have  actually gone over between  LA and Edmonton. So where  are we going to go? Winners  bed with streaks, right?  Losers bet against streaks.  Let's go over five and a  half LA and Edmonton. You  did something the other  night. You went under in the  first period in that series  and it worked. Hopefully we  get multiple goals tonight  in the first period and that  thing goes over. I like it.  Okay. Number two on our hit  list. Top five trends for  this evening. Baseball  Detroit Tigers maybe not  that much of a surprise, but  a little bit in my world.  Best record in the American  League 19 and 12 LA angels,  meanwhile two and eight.  Their last ten games added  together. Where are we going  to go tonight? Detroit  Tigers -132 at the angels  without Mike trout in the  lineup. If it wasn't a  playoff night and the  Knights were playing, I  would have had the Tigers  stuff on. That is my  favorite play of the night,  but we still have the big  one left. Number one, the  coup de gras, the creme de  la creme. Number one, numero  uno, best trend of the  night. And I don't know how  many times this trend is  going to get knocked off.  This is going to be like  Larry Holmes when he was the  heavyweight champ, right? I  mean, it's going to be  something really spectacular  to beat him. Baseball  Colorado five and 25 this  season. Worst record by far  in baseball. Only 1 in 14 on  the road by far. Worst road  record in baseball. So  they're playing at San  Francisco, which just  happens to be nine and four  at home as well. Add it all  up. Number one trend, boys.  San Francisco minus the 260  versus Colorado. I know it's  a big number day but we're  27 games over 500. When  you're that far over 500 you  lay the wood versus the run  and a half. Don't fool  around. You're not even  afraid. That's fine. There'a  couple big numbers on there, but  the Giants I like better. As far  as money lines, there's same  price with the Clippers. This is  the biggest money line of the  year for the Giants. Don't be  afraid. They're going to beat  the Rockies. Yeah Justin  Verlander is not losing to  Colorado. There's just no  way. It's not just underway  in Game Live or coming up  here on the grid.

Let him rip. You know what  circumstances provide the  results? What? How do you do  this one? Oh, Donny, you got  such a good show there. A  network that is booming. The  early line only on sports  grid. Anyone that's been to  a sporting event, the  atmosphere before a game. I  think game time decisions  has that same exact  atmosphere. This is our  arena. This is what we do.  There is going to be an  energy to game time  decisions that you will feel  night in and night out, the  excitement you get when you  when you lock your bets in,  when you're figuring out  what you want to do.

We are going to hit  every single one of those  markets that you need to  know about. We're going to  go through every single  thing, and I've got a great  team behind me that's going  to help me get the job done.  There is not going to be a  better place, I promise you,  than game time decisions to  get that new information,  react to it and be able to  then bet accordingly. We  will have everything at our  disposal and we will use  that to our advantage. I'm  Kevin Walsh. Tune in to game  time decisions from 6 to 8  p.m. Eastern on Sports Grid.  Did you know sports books  tend to draw a tighter bet  lines for events that get  even more bettors, like  championship games or major  matchups? My tip try betting  on less popular sports. You  might have a better shot at  beating those odds. Now go  get lucky. See you in Las  pages. Let's get lucky. Trying to figure out  finances here in the break.  Change from the hockey. How  about that? Don't write off  the Ottawa Senators just  yet. Welcome back in game  live game day here on the  grid Scott Dave. Just  underway. Senators score  during the break Dave. So  it's now two one Toronto  midway through the second  period about 12 minutes  left. So six and a half is  your total. This might be  the high scoring game. I  really thought this would be  a higher scoring series than  what it was, one of the  fewer low scoring ones,  because it seemed like it's  been like one side or the  other. Not like the four,  three, five, four shootouts.  So but this might be the  one. So Ottawa's not dead  yet. Not now. Like you talk  about exercising all those  demons. Now, if Toronto was  to lose after taking a two  nothing lead. Oh, my  goodness. Oh, so now you're  talking. Oh, we wouldn't  have. I mean, I guess we'd  have to tell the guys to go  get another guest because.  Yeah, I don't want to. I  don't want if Toronto is  losing or does that when cam  comes on later, you know,  I'm going to I'm going to  feel really bad. Brady  Tkachuk with the goal. Got  it. We were talking about  you know the in game number  being -700. That was way too  high I mean even if you know  Ottawa doesn't come back  these things flip so fast.  You in game number is now  drum roll -350. So even -300  at one place plus 220. So fr  and one in the last five road  games for Toronto. Ottawa's  playing as good as anybody 15  and eight in the last 23. So I  think we'll have we'll we're not  done scoring yet in Ottawa.  Let's put it that way. Yeah  Minnesota scored. Speaking of  which tired of Vegas one  one. They must have done it  in the final seconds of the  first period because the  first period is over. And  that was one nothing. So let  me just double check and  see. Oh I think four seconds  left. Really? Yep. Oh, six  seconds left. Wow. That's a  killer. That's. Yeah.  They're not going down  without a fight. The wild  are not going down without a  fight. The last game went to  overtime you know. Their  goalies not playing but  that's okay. They I don't  know. Oh no Gustavsson is  in. That's good okay. I  didn't know Gustavsson was  going to play okay. So  that's going to be all the  way down to the end to  multiple goals. Probably  both teams. Well the wild  get the next goal. I mean  it's plus 130 right now.  Back to the original number.  -160 plus 130. Do you like  it I like the actually over  in that game today. Yeah.  Yeah. Another series where  it's basically been all over  I think it's four and one.  They had the one under  memory serves. Yeah. Four  and one over. I'm really  surprised. Listen I know  Vegas is good but you know  Minnesota's a good team. I'm  really surprised that  Minnesota's been this big of  a home underdog. I mean,  that's like a one sided.  It's not like minus one  2130, right? I mean, 170 on  the road against a Minnesota  team that's got, you know,  problems. They didn't have  these guys. You know  Kaprizov and you know he's  their best player. Eriksson  Ek you know they got him  back there. They're a  different team with those  guys in the lineup. So  little surprise I like them.  Plus the 132 I take a flier  on you know I want to I got  Toronto so I'm not going to  bet Ottawa right now. But if  I didn't I love betting on  these teams that score last.  They got all the momentum in  the world, all the mojo.  Toronto is now on its heels.  That place is no doubt  rocking. Give me the Sens  plus the two 2210 220 on  FanDuel. So makes perfect  sense. And even in game  right now like second period  it's one one in Vegas and  Minnesota. I like the second  period over in that one. You  know I mean we might get the  second period over in Ottawa  and Toronto, which I have on  now, but I think Vegas and  Minnesota at least both  score. So if there's you  know, you got a total  available for second period  total, I think that one's  alive to. Yeah. You know you  think about what flipped in  that goal with six seconds  left right. And you know you  just don't appreciate the  fact this happens all the  time. You know, when you  have your bad beats, right?  You think it's just you. Oh  I'm bad luck this, that what  have you. But it really it  happens basically every  single game you could have  had, you know, Minnesota or  excuse me, you could have  had Vegas. Right. First  period thinking they're  going to come out flying.  You could have had the over  under under one and a half.  You could have had, you  know, you know, under half a  goal for Minnesota. You know  that that's three right  there that flipped just like  that because they scored  with six seconds left  Minnesota. Correct. Yep. And  I mean that's the beauty of  the hockey. Very similar to  soccer in that regard a  little bit like baseball  too. You know you can have I  mean today the Pirates were  leading two nothing in the  fifth inning. You have under  four in the first five. And  the Cubs come up in the top  of the fifth and hit three  solo shots, solo shots, solo  shots, solo shot against  Skenes. So you had under  there no good. You had  Pirates first five with  Skenes no good Cubs, you  know, end up winning the  first five and then they end  up winning the game. So  yeah, it's it flips. We  always remember the bad beat  specific to us. But as many  bad beats as you have  personally the next guy has  it too. And believe me,  being in the book, I've  heard bad beat stories for  20 years. Yeah, well, I was  working with Joel Madden  right on weekends. This poor  girl, she had one of those  streaks where it's just  like, man, Joe, you know,  you don't know what to do,  you know, cry or laugh,  right? Because she had I  forget what the other two  were. One was someone scored  just like this with like  four seconds left and she  had the other one and a  half, and that, that made it  one one. She lost that.  There was another goofy one.  And then Dave, she had this  all the same day. Right. You  know, while we're on the  air, she had under four and  a half runs. It was  Cincinnati and somebody may  have been the Cubs. Doesn't  matter. Right. It's nothing.  Nothing. Bottom of the fifth  inning with one out, nobody  on base. They scored five  runs and those ones never  work. Oh, yeah. I felt so  bad. It's just like oh my  goodness. So it does happen  folks. To everybody. You  think it's just you, but it  happens to everybody. You  play. When you play a  thousand games you just it's  bound to be it's just, you  know, all these games not  all, but a lot of these  games come down to the wire.  You know, you just have to  have the hopefully you get  as many good breaks as you  do bad breaks, that's all.  So. Yes, sir. Knicks by  Knicks by nine over Detroit.  So we'll get back to this.  We got our SGP. Did you like  New York? I like the next  night. I think they get the  win. Not watching the  basketball I mean if I had  this if I had to pick a side  I think I would take  Detroit. I think they extend  the series. Yeah. We'll take  a peek at that. 4943 right  now. Knicks up by six a  couple seconds left. How  about midway through the  second quarter. All right  Steve coming up next. Your college performance  does not relate to the  National Football League. It  never does played side by se  with each other. And he wasn't  as good as Quinn Ewers. That's  an issue. That's a major issue.  It wasn't as good as they've  ever got to Texas. It wasn't  that he wasn't as good as Quinn  Ewers. It was Quinn Ewers  program, which Steve Sarkisian  why would it be Quinn entirety  the entirety of the time that  Arch Manning was in Austin? So  for you to argue that because  yours is a seventh round pick,  Quinn is not that good and not  deserving of being first overall  is asinine. It is wrong. It is  incorrect. He's going to be  number one overall. I my whole  thing was I'm buying your thing.  Now when you double down on a  table, I'm not doing that. The  best quarterback prospect to  ever hit college football can't  play. He's not a seventh round  pick who didn't even play good  quarterback in the history of  the sport. You played Ohio  State. He couldn't even play  Ohio State. Quinn Ewers, go look  it up. The early line only on  sports grid. We're going to  go through every single  thing. And I've got a great  team behind me that's going  to help me get the job done.  I want this to be the place  that people come to. There  is going to be an energy to  game time decision that you  will feel night in and night  out. We are going to hit  every single one of those  markets that you need to  know about. We will have  everything at our disposal  and we will use that to our  advantage. There is not  going to be a better place,  I promise you, than game  time decisions. I'm Kevin  Walsh. Tune in to game time  decisions weekdays on Sports  Grid. And welcome back in game  live game day on the grid  Scott and Dave, our number  one of our a two hour  extravaganza as we like to  call it here on Sports Grid.  Time for a little SGP. Same  game parlay. I'm going to  use little hoops tonight  Dave. As we got the Clippers  and Denver Nuggets starting  in a little bit. You know  about an hour hour and a  half or so from now a  elimination game for LA down  three games to two after  really you know being in  control somewhat of this  series. Nearly taking a two  nothing lead, winning both  games in Denver. But they  got to split. But things  have turned for the worse  for them. I think it goes  back to being a Clipper  game, I really do. I'd be  surprised. It's tough to  beat a team three straight  times, which is what Denver  would have to do, and we've  seen these situations,  although the Lakers didn't  come through last night, but  Houston did. This is a much  even series. I think that  Houston, LA and Minnesota.  So we'll pick up four, 16 or  6 leg parlay. We'll go with  the Clippers minus the 265.  Won't worry about laying the  six points. We'll go under  212 Denver and Clippers.  Clippers a monster under  team at home. They're an ovr  team on the road. They go back  to doing what they do best play  defense I am going to go Kawhi  Leonard 25 points or more facing  elimination. If this guy doesn't  get at least 25 tonight he's hot  and cold in this series. He's  got to step up. So I think he  will. We'll go Zubac with ten  rebounds. He gets that in the  first quarter alone. That's no  big deal. -430. Then we will go  with the Joker two steals  -130. The guy's got one  steal in 11 straight games  including 2 in 9 out of  those 11. So that really  bumped up his price quite a  bit too. So I'll take my  chances. He gets two  stinking steals and then  we're going to go Jamal  Murray under 26.5 points. Le  juice. We did an adjusted  number. He's real good. But he's  up and down like a lot of these  you know average to above  average players as I classify  him I don't think he's a  superstar. So he had a  phenomenal game. Five I think he  comes back to the pack you know  gets maybe 20 points and he goes  under the 26.5 at a lower  scoring game. So nice little six  legger. And it pays almost a 10  to 1. You got a lot of stuff on  there. Why did you pick the  steals for Jokic. All the  things you could pick for  Jokic and you pick the  steals. Yeah because I've  seen him like score only 15  points. You know get a  triple double just but just  not be into it. So I didn't  want to do the doubles the  double double or you know  that was like a whopping  number. But the guy gets a  couple steals every game you  know. So that that's who you  know. And that's probably  why it's only -130, because  who the hell besides me is  betting Jokic to get steals.  Right. But then if you look  at his log the guy gets 234  steals every game basically.  So okay oh that was the one  thing that's jumped out to  me. The other one is I mean  I like the fact he put the  clippers there in the money  line. The total. You worried  we got to sweat this total  that, that that that might  be one of those ones. I like  the under as well. But  hopefully you know we don't  put it on him for this.  Listen last night the Lakers  didn't get it done okay.  Tonight it's on the  Clippers. And the Kings  done. No I think the Kings  are done. They can they can  go to win game seven. You  think the Clippers can go to  Denver and win game seven.  Wow okay. Yeah yeah. Listen  they they should have won.  Which one did they win. Game  1 or 2. Whichever one they  won they could have won the  other one. But they blew the  I think they blew game one  right. Whatever it is. Yeah.  But they could have won both  games in Denver. They're  they did get blown out in  game five, I'll grant you  that. But yeah they didn't.  The veteran team it's not a  young team. And I don't  think Denver's really that  good. I mean I love the  Joker, but I think Murray's  just he's a real good playe.  But I don't think he's like a  super duper star. And I'm not in  love with the rest of the guys  on that team. So, you know,  could they win there? Yeah, I, I  give the Clippers a better  chance of winning in Denver than  I do LA winning tonight and at  home. Would that makes any  sense. The Kings yeah yeah  what I say yeah I'm I'm  sorry. Yeah. Because the  Kings are on the road  tonight. So their road game  is game six whereas they  would get game seven at  home. But I think the I  think the Clippers are  better off, have a better  chance of winning the next  two than the Kings. Okay.  The parlays close to the  same actually. Actually it's  probably pays more for the  Kings because you get the  big plus right now. You  won't get that big of a  plus. I don't think the  Clippers. So I don't know.  It's going to be an  interesting night. It was an  interesting night last  night. No more Laker talk.  What are we going to do.  Yeah amazing Tom Vecchio A  little hockey talk coming up  next here on the grid. Your college performance  does not relate to the  National Football League. It  never does played side by  side with each other. And he  wasn't as good as Quinn  Ewers. That's an issue.  That's a major issue. It  wasn't the best quarterback  they've ever got to Texas. It  wasn't that he wasn't as good as  Quinn Ewers. It was Quinn Ewers  program, which Steve Sarkisian  why would it be Quinn  entirety the entirety of the  time that Arch Manning was  in Austin. So for you to  argue that because yours is  a seventh round pick when  you were not that good and  not deserving of being first  overall is asinine. It is  wrong. It is incorrect. He's  going to be number one  overall. I my whole thing  was I'm buying your thing  now. You double down on a  table. I'm not doing that.  The best quarterback  prospect to ever hit college  football can't play. He's  not a seventh round pick who  didn't even play good  quarterback in the history  of the sport. When you were  when you played Ohio State,  he couldn't even play Ohio  State. Quinn yours. Go look  it up. The early line only  on sports grid. We're going  to go through every single  thing. And I've got a greatm  behind me that's going to help  me get the job done. I want this  to be the place that people come  to. There is going to be an  energy to game time decision  that you will feel night in and  night out. We are going to hit  every single one of those  markets that you need to know  about. We will have everything  at our disposal and we will use  that to our advantage. There is  not going to be a better place,  I promise you, than game time  decisions. I'm Kevin Walsh. Tune  in to game time decisions  weekdays on Sports Grid. And welcome back. It is in game  live game day on the grid. Our  number one. Midway through  it's time to get our first  guest on board. It's a good  buddy. You see it here all  the time here on Sports Grid  Radio Sports Grid TV as  well. Mister Tom. Becky,  we'll talk a little pucks  with him. What's going on,  Tom? How are you tonight,  bud? I'm doing good. I'm on  the Maple Leafs moneyline.  You know, earlier today  talked about it -108 there  about I'm on Karl-Anthony  towns under under for that  game overall. And Kawhi over  11.5 rebounds plus assists  for later. I'm also on  Toronto I'm worried it's two  one. There's four minutes  left Ottawa got that big  goal from Tkachuk. Do you  think that do you think the  senators tie this game. I  don't know. They've been  really the Maple Leafs. This  is they've been really  suppressing the shots. At  least they did so well in  the first period. I don't  think even if they tied it  do you think the Leafs come  away with the win? I think  it's really important that  Leafs got that first goal,  like they really needed to  take some of the emotion out  of out of the arena for the  Sens, because if they were  to give up that first goal  and or they tie it and then  get give up another goal  like that emotion starts  creeping in for the Maple  Leafs. Like I said this this  morning on the early line,  the Sens were playing with  house money today, right?  Like they they know the  struggles that the Leafs  have had. So scoring first  was paramount for the Leafs  today. Yeah. What would  happen Tom, if they would  actually lose this game. You  know Dave and I were talking  about the perfect start  right. They got the two  nothing lead. Auston  Matthews you know one of the  villains. He gets one of the  two goals I mean it was set  up perfectly for them. Okay  Exorcize a few demons. If  they blow this game with a  two nothing lead. Wow. I  mean, I don't know how they  would come back and win a  game seven, right? Yeah. I  mean, game seven again, that  that point like Ottawa  playing with house money,  like they have nothing to  lose. And the fact that they  have finally made the  playoffs and like up until  this point, they have  essentially been like little  brother in this rivalry  because they haven't been in  the playoffs in 2017. Last  time they were in and the  Maple Leafs constantly,  yeah, they make the  playoffs. But the fact that  they would lose to the  inferior team the first time  that that team finally made  the playoffs, that would be  a disaster. Mitch Marner  would leave in the off  season. It would be  terrible. Playing with house  money. You could say the  same for the wild right now,  although they could be  leading the series three  two. After the way that last  game went. They got that,  you know, unfortunate  offsides call turned around  the game and the Knights  won. It's one one after one  side total. Anything that  you looked at in that one  that you liked. Yeah I was  talking about it this  morning. I really still  think the live unders the  play at this point under six  and a half like these teams  don't want to get out and  run. I know we've seen a lot  of scoring, you know, thus  far in the series. But under  six and a half I think is  the play. Right now it is  -140 at least that I'm  seeing on FanDuel. But it's  really got to be what we see  from these teams. Like  buckle down on defense. The  Golden Knights, they don't  have Pavel D'orfeo tonight  like their top goal scorer.  He's been okay throughout  the playoffs. But he was  awesome in the regular  season. Like this is just  not going to be a track  meet. So you expected an  under then maybe in a game.  Yeah under under six and a  half I think is a fine spot  to take it now. Okay. How  about Dallas Colorado? I  thought Colorado was going  to win it all. But you know  who knows. They're down  three two. They're not going  to lose in six right. No I  don't think they lose in  six. It's a tough spot for  me personally I do have a  Dallas ticket. I do want to  see the Avs you know push  this to seven games. But I  don't think there's an  effective way to bet this  game. Ultimately, you know,  -196 is not a spot that I  want to lay in, you know, on  a money line. Then you would  say like, oh, in a normal  regular season game, would I  look to, you know, the 60  minute line. But I don't  want to do that in the  playoffs. That's just not a  spot I like to be going. So  again, under six and a half  I think is a spot to go. And  I think the Avs score first  when they get the crowd  behind them at home,  especially when they play,  you know, playing at  altitude, they are in a spot  to really pour in the goals.  But Avs score. They win this  game 4131. You surprised by  the Edmonton and the Kings  line? Because I am I mean it  was a little bit lighter  earlier today and some huge  steam has come in. I mean  there's places that are -175  right now on Edmonton. And  I'll tell you what, LA had  this series early.  Edmonton's taking control,  especially after what I saw  in game five. I'm like, man,  I think this one might be  over tonight. What do you  think? Yeah. That's the  that's the tough thing. Like  I have the Kings winning  this in seven games like you  know direct outcome at four  three. So it is a tough spot  I can understand why the  money is pouring in on the  Oilers. I will say even if I  had no bets on the series  like nothing at all involved  in this, I think the right  bet to make tonight would be  the Kings to win the series  at plus 360. This is not to  say that they were to do it,  but effectively you're  getting them at the money  line instead of betting that  it was a plus whatever. Plus  170 plus 140 for their  moneyline, you beat them at  plus 360, then it leaves you  the huge opportunity. If it  does go to that that final  game. So that's the play I  would recommend if you don't  have any action on the  series, but I think the  Oilers do get it done  tonight, unfortunately.  Yeah, it's not easy. I will  say it's not a sweep  obviously, but they would be  winning their fourth  straight game over LA, and  whether it's the first four  or the middle four that  that's tough to do, right.  How about the over under Tom  I love the under in this se.  Yeah I bet it like the first  three games. And then finally  I've given up. It's been nothing  but overs. I can't figure it  out. It's only five and a half  little juice -142. But I do like  playing overs in elimination  games. So I will say that yeah,  I could see this being a first  period over. You can bet the  over five and a half maybe first  period over one and half,  but may still actually end  under six and a half. So I'm  going to be waiting to see  if there's an early goal.  Then I want to jump live  under six and a half. I know  that can be like a it's a  tough middle, like, oh,  exactly six goals. Then  winning this game 4 to 2, 5  to 1, whatever it might be  the Oilers, that is. But I  think there's opportunity  for that. And again, I do  have action in this series.  So I have to like figure out  the exact math. Like, do I  want to pour more into it  than they score but then  they don't win the Kings,  that is. Then I have to lose  this other bet. So I think  under six and a half live is  the actual play for this  game. You and Donny do pro  baseball today on every Suny  morning, and you're talking  about baseball, watching  baseball. How what do you make  of the Colorado Rockies? I mean,  we put them on the five on the  line every day. I mean, the  Giants are -265, 270 today. You  can't even touch the Rockies  ever. They end up winning  yesterday and beating sale. But  like, there's no case for them  to be made tonight, is there?  No. And I think part of it is  you know the White Sox won today  earlier they beat Milwaukee. So  I assume this is going to be the  case with the Rockies and or  the White Sox, since they're  both just terrible. Is that  the day after they win,  however infrequent that is  that next game, the money is  just going to be pouring in  on the other side just  because, listen, they're  like, oh, they're only gonna  win 4550 games. They're not  going to be winning multiple  games in a row. So I'm not  surprised to see the Giants  and maybe it's some rain.  Name name recognition. With  Verlander still on the mound  for the Giants. And people  are oh it's the Rockies.  They're terrible. They've  already won one in a row.  And now it's going to be  Verlander. I think that's  the way to do it. You could  bet the minus one and a half  I wouldn't lay the -260.  Maybe if you already paired  that off with a team from  earlier today, or you're  looking to pair that off  with, I don't know, the  Knicks or the Clippers  forcing a game tonight.  That's a way to do it. But  -260. It's baseball I don't  love that. Yeah that's  crazy. Even the other game.  How about Detroit and the LA  angels. Well you know the as  got off to a nice little start  this year right. It's seven and  three and well they won a couple  of games since nothing but  losses and no Mike trout. Yeah.  So Casey Mize has been solid  this year. He's dealt with a lot  of injuries. He's a former top  prospect for them. He doesn't  have super high strikeout rate.  But this is more about their  hitting because Yusei Kikuchi is  not a pitcher I'm worried about.  He's got 20% strikeout rate, a  12% walk rate, if I remember  correctly. Also the Babbitt  which is batting average on  balls in play. Not good. And  the Tigers offense they're  cooking this year, right.  Torkelson is having a great  year. Riley Green went  through a big slump, but he  looks to be back Kerry  Carpenter hits bombs. Javy  Baez is even having a great  year. Zach McKinstry could  be an all star. He get you  get on base like Detroit has  all the pieces that you  want. LED by Skubal, led by  Flaherty. They Jackson, Joe  the young pitchers like they  have everything that you  possibly want. They win the  division. You got 30s  Clippers win tonight and  force a game seven yes or  no. They do. Kawhi over 11.5  rebounds plus assists. Yeah  big game for Kawhi. He's got  it. He's got to have a big  game right I mean it's not  about the offense. They've  been scoring on offense.  It's about turning up on  defense and doing the other  things keeping the nuggets  from scoring. And they can  win in Denver right. Game  seven Denver wins. Oh can  win. They can win. All  right. Yeah. It's not like  an afterthought. So Tom  Vecchio great job Tom as  always do appreciate it.  Check em out all the time  here on the grid sports grid  radio sports grid TV. All  right David more coming up  here on the credit. Your college performance  does not relate to the  National Football League. It  never does. Played side by side  with each other. And he wasn't  as good as Quinn Ewers. That's  an issue. That's a major issue.  It wasn't it wasn't as good as  they've ever got to Texas.  It wasn't that it wasn't as  good as Quinn Ewers. It was  Quinn Ewers program, which  Steve Sarkisian why would it  be Quinn? The entirety, the  entirety of the time that  Arch Manning was in Austin.  So for you to argue that  because yours is a seventh  round pick, Quinn is not  that good and not deserving  of being first overall is  asinine. It is wrong. It is  incorrect. He's going to be  number one overall. My whole  thing was I'm buying your  thing now. You double down  on a table. I'm not doing  that quarterback prospect to  ever hit college football.  Can't play. He's a seventh  round pick who didn't even  play quarterback in the  history of the sport. When  you were, you played Ohio  State. He couldn't even play  Ohio State. Quinn Ewers, go  look it up. The early line  only on sports grid. We're g  to go through every single  thing. And I've got a great team  behind me that's going to help  me get the job done. I want this  to be the place that people come  to. There is going to be an  energy to game time decision  that you will feel night in and  night out. We are going to hit  every single one of those  markets that you need to know  about. We will have everything  at our disposal and we will use  that to our advantage. There is  not going to be a better place,  I promise you, than game time  decisions. I'm Kevin Walsh. Tune  in to game time decisions  weekdays on Sports Grid. Hi. Welcome back in Game live  game day here on the grid.  Thanks again Tom. Thank you  for joining us. As he does  from time to time. Do  appreciate a couple minutes  with him. Poll question of  the night. Which NHL team  most likely clinches its  playoff series tonight? You  got four elimination games  going on, two in progress,  two that will be starting in  a little bit. Toronto,  Vegas, Dallas or Edmonton.  So far. Early voting in  Edmonton at 29% leading the  way, Dallas at 20%. Vegas  and Toronto as it moves, as  we say, both tied at 24%. So  pretty good vote so far.  Fairly even across the  board. Go to make sense. Sps  and sports grid for your vote.  Makes sense that Edmonton would  be the number one choice as  their you know the biggest  favorite. And I don't know  nobody believes in Toronto until  they actually do it. I'm hoping  they do it. Vecchio had him  to. Boy, Vecchio was looking  clean. That was a nice  haircut. He was all shaved  up. That's not a playoff  beard. Can you grow a  playoff beard? You you're  not you're not a beard guy.  No, no I used to, you know,  little goatee. But I was  never into the whole beard  thing. It just it gets too  scratchy, too itchy, you  know? It ain't the food gets  in your mustache. I have, I  used to have a mustache in  college, you know, back and  forth a little bit. Right?  But then the food would get  stuck in there and it just  itch. It not not for me. I  wouldn't mind a little. I've  had that a little. Yeah. You  know, a couple. Yeah. I've  always kept that even from,  you know, like the days  since Curacao. I'll try to  keep it, but I don't know  how these guys do it in the  NHL. Like we're in the first  round. But like, by the time  we get to June and these  teams are in the, you know,  conference finals and  getting ready to play for  the Cup, have those big  bushy beards. Yeah. Like  Vinnie, you know, can you  imagine if we let Vinnie go  for two months to grow a  playoff beard? We wouldn't  even recognize the guy, man.  He couldn't shave until the  Mets won the World Series.  Right. Next. How many years,  man? Well, who started that  in hockey? You know that  you're not supposed to  shave. Yeah, hockey's got so  many goofy things, you know,  you can't touch, you know,  the Presidents Cup or you  can't trump the conference  championship trophy. You  can't touch the Stanley Cup  trophy. You can't even  mention that, you know, they  got all these goofy things.  By the way, what did you  think of the hit last night.  Did you see it? Yeah I mean  I don't know is it  Suspendable. I don't, I  don't know, I'm not you  know, I'm not big on  suspending guys in the  postseason. You know, it's  there's a responsibility of  the player being hit. If you  didn't see it. The guys  along the boards doesn't  have the puck. So you're not  really supposed to take a  shot at the guy that doesn't  have the puck if he's, you  know, especially if he's not  paying attention. Right?  That that's, you know,  interference. That's what  happened. He leveled he  clocked him pretty good. And  then he's the best player  for Winnipeg or one of them  anyway. Right. So he went  down. He got up. But he  didn't return after the  first period. So you know it  was a bad hit I don't know  if it was a dirty hit. It  was a bad hit. But you know  he's got to take some  responsibility. You can't be  on the ice with your head  down. You just can't do it,  especially in the  postseason. Otherwise  someone's going to take a  run at you. Yeah, yeah. And  our our our vision of it  yours and mine and guys that  are older and girls that are  older like us, remember. I  mean there were some  vicious, vicious plays and  hits back in the day and you  know, and they're trying to  legislate that out of the  game a little bit. It's  still a physical game and  these things still happen.  And the way they're playing  in the playoffs, at the  speed they're playing at,  there's going to be  collisions I don't know. You  know we'll we'll see.  There'll probably be some  there'll probably be some  justice tomorrow taken out  for that one. The best  justice that one player on  the road. Yeah. Yeah that's  right. Yeah. He's the  captain. So do you believe  in postseason suspensions?  And if so, is that worthy of  it? I don't think it's  worthy of it, I really don't  I feel bad, I don't I opt he  did but yeah I don't I don't  you know I don't think  they're going to suspend  them I really don't. So  again we'll see. It's not  enough to change the odds on  the series. Oh boy. That's  no good. That's very  unfortunate news. That fan  that fell yesterday has not  made it. It passed away.  Unfortunate news in  Pittsburgh. So you know if  you guys saw that watch that  terrible scene yesterday  from the Clemente wall. It's  21ft high, flipped over the  rail and landed on the field  and is no longer with us. So  I don't even know what to  say. I mean, the video is  unnerving. The whole thing  is just it was terrible.  Yeah. It's terrible. I'm  surprised. Dave, this  doesn't happen more often.  Thankfully it doesn't. If  you've been to these  ballparks. I mean, there are  times like I'll, you know,  sit in the upper deck there  and you lean over the  railing and it's like,  there's nothing there.  There's no screen. There's  no you know, I know it's  like maybe chest high, but,  you know, I could see some  kid running to go get a  ball. And he just kind of  stumbles a little bit. And  through the thing he's going  to go. I've always been  amazed at that. It's like,  wow, there's nothing here  that stops you from going  head over heels. I know, and  he just flipped. I mean, he  just like, if you watch the  video of it and you're  right, it is like gut  wrenching, right? But he  just kind of, like, stood up  and just flipped over and  didn't really brace himself.  You know, if you fall, you  know, you figure your arms  are going to go flailing. He  didn't he just like we've  had two crazy incidents over  the last two days between  him, unfortunately. And then  the guy that fell off the  golf cart that died with  John Elway. You heard about  that story? Yeah. I mean,  that was not a terrible  story. Yeah. And he falls  off the golf cart somehow or  another, and he hits his  head on the concrete,  supposedly, and dies. Yeah.  There's got to be more to  that story. I mean, who's  going to speculate? But  there's got to be you don't  just fall off a golf cart  and hit your head and die, I  don't know, just there's  accidents all the time, I  mean. Right, I don't know,  it's just when you hear that  news, it really makes you  thankful for every day. And  really just try to do your  best to enjoy the day and  enjoy the people you're with  in your life and stuff like  that. I mean, every single  day. It's just another  reminder. I mean, you go to  a baseball game and  something like that happens.  You're right. I've been up  high with the kids and it's  unnerving to sit there. It  is. And worry like. And, you  know, try to enjoy the game.  It's tough sometimes when  you're sitting on those  steep buildings like that.  Yeah. I nearly killed  somebody yesterday. How  about that? Yes, yes.  Serious story. I'll tell you  about it when we go back  after the black cloud. Your college performance  does not relate to the  National Football League. It  never does. Played side by  side with each other. And he  wasn't as good as Quinn  Ewers. That's an issue.  That's a major issue. It  wasn't the best quarterback  they've ever got to Texas.  It wasn't that he wasn't as  good as Quinn Ewers. It was  Quinn Ewers program, which  Steve Sarkisian made it very  clear the entirety, the  entirety of the time that  Arch Manning was in Austin.  So for you to argue that bee  yours is a seventh round pick,  you were not that good and not  deserving of being first overall  is asinine. It is wrong. It is  incorrect. He's going to be  number one overall. My whole  thing was I'm buying your thing.  Now when you double down on a  table, I'm not doing that. The  best quarterback prospect to  ever hit college football can't  play. He's not a seventh round  pick who didn't even play good  quarterback in the history of  the sport. You played Ohio  State. He couldn't even play  Ohio State. Quinn Ewers, go look  it up. The early line only on  sports grid. We're going to go  through every single thing. And  I've got a great team behind me  that's going to help me get the  job done. I want this to be the  place that people come to. There  is going to be an energy to game  time decision that you will feel  night in and night out. We are  going to hit every single one of  those markets that you need to  know about.

Tune in to  game time decisions weekdays  on Sports Grid. And welcome back. It is in  game live game day on the  grid Scott Dave closing out  our number one with you know  what our black cloud play of  the day. Yes a little  setback last night as the  Lakers let us down big time.  I really didn't think they  would lose, but I knew we  were in trouble when Houston  won the first game. The  chances of both home teams  extending the series weren't  good. So still 28 and 13,  but a little bit of a  setback. Back to the winners  window tonight. They were  going to go use some chalk  here. Do a little baseball.  This can't possibly lose it.  Just can't San Francisco at  home against Colorado we  gave you the numbers with  the five on the line right.  We're going to double down  on this Colorado stinks five  and 25. They're on pace for  35 wins I mean literally  they're on pace to  obliterate the worst record  set just last year by the  White Sox. They're only 1 in  14 on the road. They're  about 150 games under 500 on  the road the last four plus  seasons every year, be it at  least 2530 games under. And  now they're taking on a San  Francisco team that oh, by  the way, is one of the  better teams in the National  League. And oh, by the way,  is nine and four at home.  And oh, by the way, has  Justin Verlander on the  Hill. And that's especially  good because he's winless  this season so far. So he's  yet to get his first win as  a San Francisco Giants. So  if he was like two and one  you know three and one maybe  he'd poo poo this thing. But  he's looking to get a win.  He's not losing to Colorado.  No way. You want to lay the  run and a half, two and a  half, whatever you want to  do I think it's A52, six two  easily type of game number  one under team. By the way,  in baseball number two  actually is Colorado. So I  wouldn't go too crazy with  overs. But I do like San  Fran. So our black cloud  play of the day. We'll keep  it simple. We're way ahead  of the game. Give me San  Fran minus the 260 against  the rocks. I can't even I  asked Vecchio, we can ask Am  when he gets on with us. Next  segment if there's a case to be  made. I don't think there is. I  got this today from my buddies  over at MLB through April. The  Rockies are one game worse than  the 121 loss White Sox from last  season, who were six and 24 in  Colorado's schedule in May,  is brutal, with their next  29 games coming against  teams currently above 500  000. That does not loom  large for them. Yeah, so  this may be a rough spring.  It was obviously a rough  April. April showers bring  May flowers. They're going  to be no flowers in  Colorado. This is going to  be it's going to get worse  or at least stay the same.  Give me give me an over.  Seriously. All right, Dave,  we need to have you posted  over under win total for the  month of May for Colorado.  They got four at San  Francisco home for a three  game set against Detroit,  first place Detroit and San  Diego. Back on the road at  Texas. At Arizona, batting  three for four against the  Phillies, three and three.  Okay, good. No no no no no.  I'm just counting the games.  I'm counting the games.  Okay, so four, three and  three is 13. And then  another three game set. Yeah  it's Texas and Arizona 13  619 okay four against  Philadelphia 23 three  against the Yankees 26 three  against the Cubs on the road  okay. And only two against  the Mets in the on the road  okay. So I mean it's six  right? Six wins six wins.  Probably seven and a half  six. If I give you seven, I  take you under. Right. Yeah  I mean that's that's you  know, so I think I mean, if  you guys are watching the  show, you just heard it.  Just tweet at us and let,  let let us know what you  think. Yeah, yeah. Let me do  that tomorrow. How many  games do you think the  Rockies will win in the  month of? How long before  the manager gets fired?  Right? I mean, this poor  guy, he's you know, that is  a brutal schedule. But  that's how the National  League is, right? The  National League is so good  there's not that many  cupcakes. And then when you  throw in, they're playing  all the better teams in the  American League. Yeah. That  that's that's what you get.  I mean seriously what what  the FanDuel offer that let  me what do you think there's  updated season total would  be. To offer that they do  they they got it. What do  you think it is. 49. You're  pretty close 45.5. Who. 45.5  it down. Yeah. They jumped  that down 45 and 100 and  what. That's crazy. Your college performance  does not relate to the  National Football League. It  never does. Played side by  side with each other. And he  wasn't as good as Quinn  Ewers. That's an issue.  That's a major issue. It  wasn't the best quarterback  they've ever got to Texas.  It wasn't that he wasn't as  good as Quinn Ewers. It was  Quinn Ewers program, which Steve  Sarkisian would it be? Quinn  entirety the entirety of the  time that Arch Manning was in  Austin. So for you to argue  that because yours is a  seventh round pick, Quinn is  not that good and not  deserving of being first  overall is asinine. It is  wrong. It is incorrect. He's  going to be number one  overall. I my whole thing  was I'm buying your thing.  Now when you double down on  a table, I'm not doing that.  The best quarterback  prospect to ever hit college  football can't play. He's a  seventh round pick who  didn't even play good  quarterback in the history  of the sport. When you were  when you played Ohio State,  he couldn't even play at  Ohio State. Quinn Ewers, go  look it up. The early line  only on sports grid. We're  going to go through every  single thing. And I've got a  great team behind me that's  going to help me get the job  done. I want this to be the  place that people come to.

Our  number two of our two hour  extravaganza me and Dave  Chappelle until 10 p.m.  Eastern time. We got a  little playoff hockey, a  little playoff NBA and some  Major League baseball. Dave  and I was kicking around,  you know, Colorado Rockies  to close out the last  segment as we welcome in  Adam Kaufman, Sports Grid  radio and TV host. You see  it here all the time. Got to  talk some NBA with Adam. But  I will throw it out there  Adam. Just just to goofiness  with the Rockies who are  five and 25 on pace. They  play San Francisco tonight.  So it's our black cloud play  of the day to go against  them. Fanjuls actually got  an updated over number. You  see the black cloud 45.5.  They're basically asking you  are they going to be worse  than even the Chicago White  Sox last year? Who set the  record with only 41 wins? If  you had to, would you go  over or under on that  number? 45.5. So what are  they? I wish I could do this  math better on the fly, but  my brain is mush right now.  What? What are they? What  are they pacing? 117.  Sitting at 45 and one. Oh,  okay. What are they pace.  No. But yeah, what would  they be? Because they're  like you said, they're five  and 25. They played 30, 30  out of one. 62 is, you know,  a little less than a fifth.  So I guess they're, they're  pacing for like 28. Is that  right. Is my math right on  that. Like I mean like yeah.  Yeah. Like how I mean listen  I it was 20. Listen I know I  know Colorado is coming off  a win. I know the Rockies  are coming off a win. But  how could you do anything  other than take the under if  you're getting a total in  the 40s? Still that's  insane. I mean, it's like I  mean Colorado, please. Like,  prove it to me. I mean, I've  got I got a baseball parlay,  which now that I've even  spoken it into existence, it  just means it's going to  lose. But I've got to parlay  that, you know, that  includes like the Giants run  line in that game. Because  if you're going to include  that game, how do you not  have the Giants run line. So  you know we'll see I don't  know. There's a part of me  and I talk about this with  people. I probably talked  about it with both of you.  You know a number of times  when it comes to, you know,  teams like San Jose in the  NHL during the regular  season when it's like, man,  you know, they they suck and  you know, they're they're  plus 275. But at the same  time it's hockey. It's one  game. How do you not at  least consider the  investment because of the  plus line opportunity? I  just I don't know how do we.  It's another one of those  like are the Rockies so bad.  The answer I realize is yes.  But the Rockies so bad that  you just can't at least  consider a sprinkle with all  that plus money coming your  way each and every time out,  figuring that just like the  last game, you know, every  once in a while they're  going to do it. Yeah.  Speaking of doing it,  Pistons right now trailing  the Knicks. Do the Pistons  do it in extended series.  Did you have any opinion  side or total about that  game? Well look I, I told  you guys before the season  started that I thought or  the series started, that the  Pistons were going to win  this series. And honestly,  they should have by now.  Like it's ridiculous even  that they're down three two.  They have outplayed New York  throughout this series. They  just have a complete  inability to close these  games. I mean, even in this  one you see New York get off  to a hot start led by 15  points in the opening  quarter. Detroit storms  back, takes a lead by  halftime because of that  sixth Malik Beasley three.  He's been scorching hot has  the 18 points. Everything  from distance so far. You're  getting you know some  obviously contributions on  the New York side. The  Knicks are back in front by  a few points at this point.  But it's not overwhelming.  It's not like Jalen Brunson  is has all out. You know  he's starting to take over I  guess he's got 20 points out  of the 68. So you know he's  he's starting to sort of  fuel them a little bit as he  has to. If the Knicks have  any hope of closing this  thing out tonight I do still  maybe it's stupid. Maybe  it's just me sticking to my  guns. I would like to  believe for multiple  reasons, that the Pistons  are going to show a little  bit conviction and win this  game in four seven doesn't  mean they're going to win  the series, but at least  force it back to New York  for one. Like don't go. Oh,  and three at home during  this series. Like, you got  to win a game, especially  with your season on the  line, playing in your own  building. You're fully  healthy. You got an  inconsistent New York team  on the other side. They have  shown that a microcosm  within this game  specifically, let alone  during the series, find a  way to get this thing out,  win it, get on cage back or  Beasley or, you know,  whoever it's going to be,  and just get yourself back  to New York. That's. But  selfishly, as a Celtics fan,  with this Boston backdrop  behind me, I don't care who  wins because Boston takes  care of either of these  teams. I just want it to go  seven so that whoever the  winner is has to go right  from this series on Saturday  into that one on Monday and  really gets no break in  between. I don't want to see  New York get the benefit of  a few days off. So I would  like. And plus just the  entertainment value of an  NBA fan of a of a consumer.  I would like a nice seven  game series. And I think the  two series that we have  tonight could bring us  there. I think as a fellow  Celtic fan, I think the  Knicks would present a  bigger problem. Not a  problem, but a bigger issue,  I'll say, than Detroit. You  agree or disagree? I'm not  sure that I do, to be  honest, I, I think Detroit  is probably a little bit  more problematic because I  just think that they've got  some different ways that  that they can beat you. You  know, their role players  are, are maybe a little bit  more leaned upon in terms of  I'm talking like way down,  like the bench, like when,  when they go to their  reserves, you know, we can  talk about starting fives  and all that. Obviously New  York has the stronger top to  bottom starting five. I just  think defensively I don't  think Boston has again, I  don't think the Celtics have  any problem with either of  these teams. But in  particular, I think they  will score at will against  the Knicks any way, shape or  form. The Knicks would elect  to try and defend the  Celtics like Orlando was a  legitimate task on the other  side because as nothing as  that offense was  defensively, they gave the  Celtics real fits. Those  were hard games to win, even  though it was a gentleman's  sweep for Boston. So the  Knicks, they can't defend  you in the same way the  blueprint is there. Whether  it's take away the threes  or, you know give up the  threes. But you're taking  away the ISO when it comes  to Tatum, Brown and the  others any which way. Like  the Knicks, especially with  towns in the middle, aren't  going to find a way to step  in the middle of any of  that. Boston is just going  to shoot it will. They're  going to attack the rim at  will. So I just think the  only difference there is,  like you are guaranteed  those really higher scoring  games against the Knicks,  that's what I believe  anyway. But I don't know,  maybe some other people see  it differently. The other  for the other series in the  East that we know now is  Cleveland and Indiana. Yeah,  Cleveland looked great. Miami,  really. I mean, they didn't even  try in the couple games. It was  terrible, right? Indiana took  care of what they had to take  care of with Milwaukee. And  Milwaukee had a couple of  breaks. And, you know,  everything the way it went down.  Do you give that series much of  a chance of going deep, or is  that kind of one of those  Cleveland in five? Well, first  of all, can we not excuse make  for the Milwaukee Bucks like Doc  Rivers can do enough of that.  And he has been since he took  over and coaches prior Giannis  whoever like please can we can  we not I mean Milwaukee don't  get me wrong. It's been a tough  few years since they won a  championship. Once you get to  the playoffs you know they have  lost Giannis for multiple first  round series. Now obviously the  Dame issues that have  happened of late Middleton  going back a few years like  they have had their  challenges. And I'm not  going to say I feel badly  for them because in a sense  every every team deals with  this in one form or another.  They're just on this tough  run right now and it may  lead to the end of Giannis.  It's just you you've got at  least in Milwaukee. But  you've got some really weird  sort of the dichotomy  between these because  Milwaukee at least still you  know Giannis was healthy.  Dame played in part of this  series albeit not much. They  like there's still a former  champion Indiana had to work  a little bit. You know  Cleveland was was playing a  team that shouldn't have  been the playoffs to begin  with. And like you said  Miami just it didn't look  like it belonged. It didn't  look like it cared to  belong. It was it was an  embarrassment. On behalf of  everything that Pat Riley  stands for. Every fiber of y  being, every bone in his body. I  mean, he he must want to off  himself with, you know, like in  the rivers of South Beach with  the way that he watched that  thing. So it's. Yeah, it was  tough. But I think now I  think you could get a  compelling series now. And  I'm hoping we do. Adam  Kaufman's good job, man.  We'll do it again soon.  Thanks.  For.

You  might have a better shot at  beating those odds. Now go  get lucky. See you in Las  Vegas. Let's get lucky. Hi. Welcome back in Game  live. Game day on the grid.  Thanks again. Adam Kaufman,  who joins us from time to  time. Little NBA thoughts  from him. Little baseball  obviously as well. So back  to the board we go. Little  update from the NHL. And  we'll update the NBA as  well. As the Knicks have  reclaimed the lead against  Detroit. Hockey first though  Dave still two one Toronto  over Ottawa 8.5 minutes now  left to go in the third. So  getting to be real crunch  time for the Ottawa Senators  who trail three two in this  series. And your Golden  Knights have scored two one.  Now they lead at Minnesota  trying to clinch that series  and they are finishing up  the second period. Another  late goal I do believe you  know the Vegas Golden or  Minnesota score with six  seconds left in the first  period. I don't know if it  was that late, but it was  pretty late. Vegas just took  A21 lead, right? Or no  score. Just above three.  Just above three minutes  left, which is still, you  know, in the last five  minutes of the period is not  like the last minute. But  yeah, big goal for Eichel  was a good goal. Exactly  what the Knights want.  Right. Go on the road, have  the lead going after two. So  get this thing in. And wow.  So yes we stayed under in  the second period though.  The totals five and a half.  Over big plus money. You go  over five and a half. That's  three goals in a third. You  know you really need one  goal out of Vegas. Make it  three one. And Minnesota's  got to pull the goaltender  3.5 minutes left. They score  to make it four one with 2.5  minutes left. Final game.  Why not pull the goalie as  well? Get two empty netters  for one final game goes over  or five one final round game  goes over five one final.  Yeah, yeah, I don't know  actually. Yeah that's a yeah  that's a that's a tough  spot. But I mean it's big  price Toronto and Ottawa 17  shots on goal for Toronto 15  for Ottawa. Ottawa's on a  power play for the next 30s  seven minutes 7.5 minutes  left in the game. I don't wt  to say that Ottawa has to score  right now because they don't.  You know, the way this series  has gone, I mean, they can get a  goal after that and still win  the game, but the sense of  urgency has picked up. If  you guys are watching this  game, you can see it.  Ottawa's crashing the net  and knocking the net off the  moorings. That was always  one of my favorite things to  do, like accidentally, kind  of like slide into the  goalie, you know, just to  let them know that there it  is. There it is. There it  is. Oh my goodness, Craig.  Berube. Craig. That's it. I  was that a power play I  don't know if that was on  the power play. Wow. My  goodness gracious. So there  you have it. I mean you  gotta be you. You saw Berube  I mean his head was down.  You saw all those people in  that outside of Toronto  watching the game. They got  to be going, oh no, they  tied it. Oh no, they tied  it. Oh. Yep. Oh, what an  awful goal. Did you see the  goal? It was behind him.  Yeah. He literally he shot  the puck from behind the  net. I've never seen that.  How the hell did that go in.  It was just after the power  play. Back off his back.  Yeah. It was not a power  play goal. Oh that's a  horrible goal. This kind of  flipping it goal. But yeah  right. The dude is from  behind the net and he just I  don't know if it was a pass.  I guess he was trying to  pass it to someone in front  a lot of times in that  situation. Right. You're  just trying to throw it to  the in front of the net, you  know? And if it hits the  back of the goalie, bounces  in ricochets, that's fine.  If not, it hits somebody in  front of the net, drops  down. Maybe for a rebound or  something like that. Crazy,  crazy. I think the goalie  put it in. Oh, hit off the  goalie's back. Hit off the  goalie's back. Yeah. Wow.  Yep. Wow, wow. You think  that was on purpose there?  Yeah. He was trying to hit  the goalie. Yeah. Or he was  trying to hit the guy in  front either way. Yeah.  Trying to bank it off. These  guys are unbelievable. Now  with the puck you know you  can do all these different  things. Knicks lead 8675  third quarter just under  four minutes to go I don't  want to say it's done but  that's an 11 point lead for  the Knicks in game number  one in game numbers nine and  a half nine and a half I  take the I take the Pistons  okay. They're not going to  get blown. They're going to  make a run. This hasn't been  a double digit game. It's  been well Knicks controlled  the first half. But they  were actually trailing at  half time. And it's been  pretty close. This is just  the ebb and flows. We're on  the ebb now. We're going to  get the flows here after  this time out. I think the  eight and a half I think  Blue Jays, blue Jays beat  the Red Sox four two. Oh  walk off. Must have been  three runs in the bottom of  the eighth, just as well as  a three run shot. Vladimir  Guerrero. So it was two  nothing. Boston. Yep. Four  one final. Yep. How many  times I strike out? I tell  you what we said this last  year with this team. Same  thing this year. They strike  out. They're the number one  strikeout team in all of  baseball. They get the most  strikeouts out of anybody  tonight. They struck out how  many times? Only ten. Which  for them isn't bad, but it's  strikeout props. Berrios was  four and a half today. He  got eight this. The Red Sox  are a strikeout machine.  Keep betting every ten.  There's only 27 outs. Ten is  a lot is it not? I know it  is. But the Red Sox they  strike out 12 1314 times.  Not with the starter but you  know yeah it's nuts. They  got the most strikeouts and  I think it's not even close  I'll go to the stats you  know because I'm starting  doing the strikeout props  and it's just bonkers. You  listen to their broadcast  and the guys are like crying  on the air because they're  striking out so much. They  have 312 strikeouts in 30  games. The Yankees are  second with 296 and 31. Oh,  no. Look at the Red Sox.  Look at the Rockies. So  Rockies got 312 and 30. That  figures. Stanks have 296 and  31 games. Red Sox 293 and 32  games. So Yankees, Red Sox  and Rockies three. Worst  teams, strikeout wise. Wow.  Tigers. Tigers are next in  line, believe it or not. Got  a lot of Tigers out there in  the top ten, right? Well,  when you hit home runs to  make up for the K's, it  works out okay. Right. So  you can kind of balance that  off. Johnny Roast Beef  tweeted at us. He said do  you remember the seats at  Shea Stadium? They called  them the nosebleeds for a  reason. He said vendors  would even come up the upper  ones. Yeah, they wouldn't  come up that high. Yeah,  man. Stadium as well.  Yankees. That's where we  went to. And as kids, you  know, the upper you'd have  to walk down because the  concession folks wouldn't go  that high. It's amazing. Your college performance  does not relate to the  National Football League. It  never does. They played side  by side with each other. And  he wasn't as good as Quinn  Ewers. That's an issue. Thaa  major issue. It wasn't the best  quarterback they've ever got to  Texas. It wasn't that he wasn't  as good as Quinn Ewers. It was  Quinn Ewers program, which Steve  Sarkisian why would it be Quinn.  The entirety, the entirety of  the time that Arch Manning was  in Austin. So for you to argue  that because yours is a seventh  round pick when you were not  that good and not deserving of  being first overall is asinine.  It is wrong. It is incorrect.  He's going to be number one  overall. My whole thing was I'm  buying your thing now. You know  I'm not doing that. The best  quarterback prospect to ever hit  college football can't play.  He's not a seventh round pick  who didn't even play good  quarterback in the history of  the sport. When you were when  you played Ohio State, you  couldn't even play Ohio State.  Quinn Ewers, go look it up. The  early line only on sports grid.  We're going to go through every  single thing. And I've got a  great team behind me that's  going to help me get the job  done. I want this to be the  place that people come to. There  is going to be an energy to game  time decision that you will feel  night in and night out. We are  going to hit every single one of  those markets that you need to  know about. We will have  everything at our disposal and  we will use that to our  advantage. There is not going to  be a better place, I promise  you, than game time decisions.  I'm Kevin Walsh. Tune in to game  time decisions weekdays on  Sports Grid. All right. Welcome back in  game live game day here on  the grid Scott Dave our  number two little hockey  update from Canada Ottawa  Senators challenging the  Toronto Maple Leafs waiting  for the blow. The blow on  their. Toronto. My goodnessI  didn't even know he was still in  the league right three two. Yeah  that's right. That five and a  half. Yeah that's his first goal  you would think. Of course that  might be his first goal all  season let alone the playoffs.  But Max Pacioretty from Domi  1421 of the period. So now it's  white knuckle time for the Maple  Leafs right. Hold on, hold on  man 13 to 1 if you want to. 4.5  minutes left. What do you mean  13 to 1. Oh the senators yeah,  yeah. Senators. Yeah, I don't  think so. What a bet. Over five  and a half. -260. Put it in a  parlay. Gotta get. We were going  to get six. Yeah. We're going to  pull the goalie. No. 3.5 minutes  left. Right. You would think  what can we do it with  Vegas. -530. I don't trust  that. Whoa. NBA put it with  put it with the Oilers. No,  I want to get a lock. Knicks  -850. And -183. Clippers.  Might as well go all in and  put it with the Giants. Put  it with the Giants or  Giants. There you go. We got  a lot right. But yeah you  can never have too much  against right Colorado. So  let's put it with the  Giants. -270. That brings it  down to -113. I like that  we're going to put that in.  You got to get an empty  netter. Oh they just  decreased naturally. Of  course they did. I'm trying  to put it in. Why would they  decrease. Yeah it's amazing  how you they decrease. Yeah  they decrease as soon as I  start putting it in. All  right. So we got it in over  five and a half. -255 okay.  And then and then Colorado  and then San Francisco  against Colorado. Wow. My  book has six and a half  left. Really? That's crazy.  Yeah. Six and a half under  -300 though. Or over six and  a half plus 240. Can't bet  that that's absurd. Get two  more goals. Actually, it's  the perfect. Well, you got.  Listen, there's 3.5 minutes  left. How long before Ottawa  pulls the goalie? Another  30s. Now you're down for  two. We'll say you could  easily get two more. That's.  This is the ideal time to  get two more. When you give  up the empty netter, you're  only down two goals. You're  not going to give up. There  could be a minute left.  You're not going to give up  an elimination game. I'd  take a flier on that. I  don't think you pulled a  goal until you got two  minutes left. No, I think  you're going to pull the  goalie before two minutes. I  would, I would, you know, as  soon as you get it in the,  in the, you know, the  offensive end, you only  scored twice. I wouldn't  wait too long. We're under  the 330 mark and they  haven't done it yet. So yeah  that's why they're the  Ottawa Senators you know.  Well they can't get control  the puck in the zone. This  is a problem right now. So  you got to get the puck in  the zone. And then you got  to get a whistle. Yeah I'm  with I don't know I guess  it's a little old school  more but I, I would not pull  the goalie until at least. I  mean a pause or play maybe  2.5 minutes, two minutes  left because you lose a face  off with empty net. See?  He's still in. That's it.  We're under the three minute  mark, so. Okay, I think  we're only getting one  empty. I see you locked up  on FanDuel. Oh, boy. Locked  up. Just locked up on mine  too. It's just locked up on  mine as well. Little  penalty. Maybe you know how  these refs are used to be.  Oh my goodness. Give Ottawa  one more shot. One more shot  at glory. See now they had  the puck at three minutes I  would have pulled it that in  the offensive end. But we'll  see. Toronto is doing a  really good job of keeping  the puck moving so nobody  can get a whistle. So we're  we're still you know, we're  still going with the clock.  At least I'm in on the  video. Wow I see 49 seconds  left on FanDuel. No goal.  Knicks up ten. Knicks up  ten. Knicks up ten. Yeah  they're going to clinch  tonight I do like them  tonight I think one series  ends and one series  continues. So I will let you  know what happens here in  Toronto and Ottawa. We come  back and get live. Your college performance  does not relate to the  National Football League. It  never does played side by  side with each other. And he  wasn't as good as Quinn  Ewers. That's an issue.  That's a major issue. It  wasn't the best quarterback  they've ever got to Texas.  It wasn't that he wasn't as  good as Quinn Ewers. It was  Quinn Ewers program, which  Steve Sarkisian. Why would  it be Quinn Ewers entirety,  the entirety of the time  that Arch Manning was in  Austin? So for you to argue  that because yours is a  seventh round pick, Quinn is  not that good and not  deserving of being first  overall is asinine. It is  wrong. It is incorrect. He's  going to be number one  overall. My whole thing was  I'm buying your thing. Now.  When you double down on not  doing that, the best  quarterback prospect to ever  hit college football can't  play. He's over. Seventh  round pick who didn't even  play quarterback in the  history of the sport. When  you played Ohio State he  couldn't even play Ohio  State. Quinn Ewers, go look  it up. The early line only  on sports grid. We're going  to go through every single  thing. And I've got a great  team behind me that's going  to help me get the job done.  I want this to be the place  that people come to. There  is going to be an energy to  game time decision that youl  feel night in and night out. We  are going to hit every single  one of those markets that you  need to know about. We will have  everything at our disposal and  we will use that to our  advantage. There is not going to  be a better place, I promise  you, than game time decisions.  I'm Kevin Walsh. Tune in to game  time decisions weekdays on  Sports Grid. All right. Welcome back in game  live game day here on the  grid. It's. It's over. It's  over. For two for two. Final  four got one empty net.  Nylander with the empty  netter. Second of the game.  All right. So the over hits  another over in hockey  right. We got that. This is  now where are we NHL overs  now 25 and 16 favorites one  who was favored in this game  Toronto actually went off as  a small yeah pick em like  you could depending on it.  So if you if you want to go  with the closing number. I a  lot of places the majority I  think. Yeah. I think you got  to say Ottawa's favored.  Yeah. The way this came out.  Yeah. So favorite loses home  team loses which is rare as  well 27 and 14 now are the  home teams. They put up a  good fight. I don't think  they were necessarily  playing with quite as much  house money as Montreal was.  I mean, I gave a shot to win  this series, I really did.  Yeah, they had their chances  there. You know, they they  tie it up late and old.  Mark. This is why he's not a  Boston Bruin. The guy never  performed in the postseason  for the Bruins. He lets up a  goal. It was it was a you  know he was screened. But  you know I'm one of those  guys that says if that goes  in between your legs or over  your shoulder or behind you,  it's your fault. You're the  goalie. You know, find a way  to make the save. So, man,  you're tough. You'd be  tough. You'd be a tough  coach on a goalies man. Oh  yeah, I would I would be  stop the puck. You know you  got you got your body. You  got your stick. You got a  glove. You know I mean you  got you the equipment is,  is, you know 5000in wide.  Get your body in front of  it, you know. So that's why  he's not a Bruin. That Bruin  fans now are just like we  knew it, you know. So. So  here's your handshake,  Craig. Craig Berube  handshake line. You know  moves on Toronto gets  through. This is great  because we have cam coming  up next. And cam I don't  think he had Scott  Scheffler. He'd be the first  round leader. So the Maple  Leafs winning will will  cheer him up. And the Blue  Jays won. So usually the  Toronto two step doesn't  usually hold. You know when  either the Raptors play and  you know the Maple Leafs  play. They don't always win  the same night. But at least  the Blue Jays won and the  Maple Leafs won. So I feel  good for cam I feel good for  Toronto. What's the series  number? It's posted. It's  what was the season? What  was the season series  between these two teams? I'm  curious. I'll find how many  times they has home ice  advantage. Toronto Toronto  was the number one team so  they had home ice advantage.  Sure. No, I know that. I'm  surprised with it. That  makes it any more crazier.  Toronto. Toronto. Toronto's  favored. If you're surprised  Toronto's favored. I would  think Toronto's got home  ice. Yeah I think I make it  a Pick'em or Florida -115 or  120. Not even close. Florida  two one and two. They were  Toronto was one and three  against Florida. Florida's  favored. Yeah, I would make  I mean I'd make Florida a  small favorite. I mean is it  minus two -150. Yeah it is  well past one. Well past  150. Wow. Well, you know,  I'll be I'll be, you know.  170 -176 on FanDuel right  now. And Toronto's got home  ice advantage. And they're  still plus 146 coming back  the other way. Wow. Well  that that that just that's  the split price meaning that  Florida's winning a game if  not game one. Right. That's  what that tells me. They  already have it down where  they're going to be because  what's the game? One price.  If that's the series price,  what's the game one price?  That's surprising. Yeah.  Let's see if they got a game  one FanDuel I know Florida  74 to -120 for game one.  Makes sense to me. So I  thought that would be the  series price maybe a little  bit more. But. Man that's  what. SH wow. Begging  begging for Toronto money.  Yeah. You know you know  that's seemingly it right. I  can't lay a buck 76 even  though I think they're going  to win. But I mean Florida  Florida is the game one in  series price favorite. If  you take Florida win game  one and Florida to win the  series, it's plus 135. So  that is wow. Well Florida  minus one and a half games  plus 118. Total games in the  series. Yeah five and a half  -194 118. If you if you  don't think it's going to go  seven. Sure. But I really  love Florida. That's heavy.  Yeah that's surprising that  it's that much. Well I don't  know. We'll get we'll get  Cam's raw reaction right  right away. That's good.  Nobody's giving him a shot  in the books. Will have his  number up. You know it'll be  up all over the place here.  You know, in the next 30  minutes to an hour. And, you  know, you can talk about it  for a couple of days. When's  that series start? Do we  have a game one yet? Let's  see. That's a good question.  Sunday. Maybe today's what  Thursday? Friday Saturday  off. Because Carolina and  Washington it looks like  it's on Monday. You got  three on. You got four  already on Saturday so it  won't be Saturday. Oh no you  don't have Ottawa Toronto on  Saturday. So since they had  Ottawa Toronto scheduled for  Saturday that was the early  game too. Would they make  Toronto Florida in that time  slot? All depends on if the  rinks available, right?  Well, I mean obviously the  rink was available for  Toronto there. Yeah. Yeah.  Either done. Clearly. Yeah.  So but they they have only  one for Sunday. I'd be  surprised that if they don't  play Sunday, I don't think  they're not going to do four  on Saturday and only one on  Sunday. Right. They got to  go three two. I would think  that's the NHL. They're so  goofy. Right. And Winnipeg  and Saint Louis is going to  be your marquee matchup. I  don't think the NHL is too  thrilled. Well, I shouldn't  say that. I don't think the  executive, the executive TV  executives, they don't want  Toronto. Not that they  wanted Ottawa. So actually,  you know what? What they  probably are. Well,  Toronto's Toronto's an  institution in Canada, but  not in the United States.  That's pretty nice. I get  that nice little I want to  know in the hat. I want to w  in the hat. Look at this  undefeated go Leafs. I do like  that. They should have hockey  sticks. You know, next to the  leaf, you know, going up and  down on the east side. Yeah.  This is clean like the kids say.  This is clean. That's a clean  hat right there sir. That is a  clean hat. Got the thing on the  side too Leafs. Yeah. Come on.  It's not bad. It's not bad. I  didn't see the thing on the  side. I like the side thing.  Yeah. Pretty sure on one  side it's like a it's like a  Pittsburgh Steeler hat. It's  only on one side the one  thing. True. Yeah. They only  got the logo on one side in  Pittsburgh. Yeah.  Interesting. I'm still not  I'm still not over the skins  lost today. I mean the  Pirates are like what are  they. Three and four in  skiing starts seven skiing  starts. Pirates are three  and four. They're going to  be on pace to lose as many  as he only had two. Yeah.  He's not striking guys out  again. Yeah. Nope. Gotta  play his under I tell you  strikeouts are down. I keep  on saying it but it's true  all across the board. Two  strikeouts. Only today in  five innings against the  Cubs are one of the better.  That's why we played his  under on the podcast.  They're one of the better  non strikeout teams if you  will. But how many games  have a combined four  strikeouts in Major League  Baseball? Cubs only had two  today. The Pirates only had  two. That's what you get  with getaway day games  swinging. Your college performance  does not relate to the  National Football League. It  never does played side by  side with each other. And he  wasn't as good as Quinn  Ewers. That's an issue.  That's a major issue. It  wasn't the best quarterback  they've ever got to Texas.  It wasn't that he wasn't as  good as Quinn Ewers. It was  Quinn Ewers program, which  Steve Sarkisian why would it  be Quinn? The entirety, the  entirety of the time that  Arch Manning was in Austin.  So for you to argue that  because yours is a seventh  round pick, Quinn is not  that good and not deserving  of being first overall is  asinine. It is wrong. It is  incorrect. He's going to be  number one overall. My whole  thing was I'm buying your  thing now. You double down  on a table. I'm not doing t.  The best quarterback prospect to  ever hit college football can't  play. He's a seventh round pick  who didn't even play good  quarterback in the history of  the sport. You played Ohio  State. He couldn't even play  Ohio State. Quinn Ewers, go look  it up. The early line only on  sports grid. We're going to go  through every single thing. And  I've got a great team behind me  that's going to help me get the  job done. I want this to be the  place that people come to. There  is going to be an energy to game  time decision that you will feel  night in and night out. We are  going to hit every single one of  those markets that you need to  know about. We will have  everything at our disposal and  we will use that to our  advantage. There is not going to  be a better place, I promise  you, than game time decisions.  I'm Kevin Walsh. Tune in to game  time decisions weekdays on  Sports Grid. And welcome back in game live  game day here on the grid  Scott Dave our number two as  we welcome in our good buddy  Cam Stewart who takes over  along with Gabe Morency at  the top of the hour. Who's  got to be happy. He's got  the Toronto two step as he  the Blue Jays beat my Red  Sox. And obviously Toronto  as we were talking about,  just beat the Ottawa  Senators. So what's going on  cam. You got to be a happy  man. Well that happens about  once every third month.  Maybe we can get like a Jays  Leafs win. Scott I love you  too. You make me laugh and  you bring up a lot of good  points. But I'll tell you  that it's more than settle  down. Wetzel. I cook, I  clean, I bet now, but I've  created I've created Gambler  Upstairs. When Ottawa scored  that second goal, she's  like, I go, relax. We're  still tied. Like she's  taking it harder than me.  Anyway, the props with  Matthew Knies, the score  didn't come in, but I don't  care. Bottom line is this I  heard Wetzel during the  break. Dave, I take offense  to a few things. Even though  I love him. The Leafs are a  popular brand. The only  thing that would have  happened Florida versus  Florida versus Ottawa, Chuck  versus Kachuk is the  storyline. But other than  that, Toronto versus  Florida. That's a very  popular series. And by the ,  you guys talked about that  number. I don't give a crap if  the Leafs are gaggers that  Florida should be like a buck 50  in that series, not a buck 86,  maybe a buck 45 or a as you  said, they have home ice.  But the problem with the  Leafs in home ice is I'd  rather them not have home  ice and get them at 220.  They're better on the road,  the atmosphere like they  have, they're much better.  Like, I like the way they  play on the road. Yes, that  that that price is this very  quick. Yeah, that may switch  very quick. Speaking of  price, tonight, Colorado or  Colorado is a gigantic  favorite. I mean, I cannot  believe it's that high,  right? Is it do you like the  other side? Yeah. Yeah, I,  I'm taking both dogs  tonight. You know, I'd say  Noah Wetzel I'm not this  patriotic Canadian.  Whatever. I care about my  wallet because I got a  mortgage to pay. I'm taking  the Los Angeles Kings to  bounce back against the  Oilers at a huge price. And  I'm taking Dallas. I hope  one of them wins, if not  both. I think the Colorado  Avalanche, Dave, and you  worked in a book are  probably the most overrated  line team, going like  they're laying a buck 80  against the Dallas Stars who  kicked their like Colorado  should be about a buck 40 in  this game. The respect they  get from the sports book,  they can win. Sure, they're  favorites for a reason.  They're on the ropes.  There's no guarantees. The  Minnesota Timberwolves beat  the Lakers. Like things can  happen. Like there's no  reason the Colorado  Avalanche should be -180  tonight with their  goaltending. Dallas has  wicked players like. The  problem with the Kings is  their coach just basically  ran the guys playing four  defensemen like Hiller  sucks. He needs to be fired.  But it's a real problem.  Like for people that know  hockey, this guy's killing  his team. But I'm going to  take a chance. What do you  do to Edmonton tonight? You  do what you do, you score  early and then you clamp  down because these guys have  a history of coming back. So  you give me the Kings, you  give me the stars. And Dave,  for baseball fans, you  should see my dumpster pick  tonight. You're not going to  believe who I'm taking  tonight. The worst team in  baseball. Oh, I'm doing it.  I'm doing the Colorado  Avalanche. Bet on the  Colorado Rockies. Hey, you  know what? I want to bet a  prop the Colorado two step  with Rockies winning and Avs  losing. You give me like 12  to 1. Wow wow. Actually let  me put that. Probably would  get that right I'll put it  in right now. See what that  is. Yeah. Here's the deal.  It's I get it I get it one  okay. Should be higher. But  anyway, verlander's fine. I  know he's good, but we talk  about spot plays. We talk  about situations I just like  I, I don't mind Freeland at  home. I think the numbers  are way out of whack. You  guys know me. Sometimes I do  dumb things and I bet on too  many dogs. But I'll tell you  one thing, that line is  stupid. I even think the  angels line is stupid.  Everyone's going at that.  Feels like a rope a dope  line too. If you look at  Kikuchi, if you go down and  actually dig deeper into his  numbers, he's actually had a  lot of bad luck, you know  what I mean? That's what  happens in baseball  sometimes, Dave. You know  that he's actually not that  bad. Like, no offense, I  know Detroit's hot. You want  to lay 55 $0.60 with Mize?  Be my guest. I'm not doing  it. I got something for you.  And you can take this to  you. And Gabe can discuss  this later if you get time  on your show. So right now  through April, the Rockies  are one game worse than the  121 loss Chicago White Sox  from last season six and 24  Chicago schedule in May is  brutal, with their next 29  games coming against teams  currently above 529 games.  Their next 29 games are all  against teams over 500. How  many games do they win? Of  those? 29? If I'm going to  give you a number right now,  if I say six and a half,  you're going over, under,  under, I think they win.  Probably six six is the  number. Yeah, that's what we  said. Colorado. We talked  about it. These guys are  like playing worse than the  White Sox. They look awful.  But sometimes it's baseball.  Sometimes you take a chance,  sometimes bad teams win. And  I think this line is truly  inflated. And hey you're  right Scott. Like it's  probably not a genius play.  People go, oh, it's about I  gamble for a lot of things.  I just look for bad lines  and value. And you can. When  these dogs come in, you make  money. I don't I don't care  if I lose the game. I just  want to build it with a  bunch of pluses. The one  favorite I like tonight is  on the hardwood. I like the  clippers tonight. That's  what I was going to go next.  What do you think. Clippers.  They cover the six I think they  I think they win by double  digits tonight I think they win  by 12. That's just my opinion.  Yeah. Or the Knicks still  winning or the Knicks still  winning. Yeah. It's down to  seven 103 96 with almost eight  minutes left. Lines six and a  half. We took Detroit to eight  and a half a little while  back. Were you surprised  with the Lakers losing last  night the way they did or  not at all. Right, not at  all. Did Ron Minnesota, me  and Gabe talked about it. He  had the series spread. I  actually had them in the  series as dogs to beat the  Lakers. The Lakers have no  bench. They have guys who  are just like, it's a gong  show. They're like, the  Lakers is a favorite. No  thank you. Like LeBron's an  older guy now you know what  I mean Luka hits the buffet  harder than me when I before  I had diabetes. Like this  guy's he's fragile. This  team doesn't play a lot of  defense. They're we're  really like the Minnesota  Timberwolves are actually  I'm proud of them for  beating the Lakers. And it  was kind of weird because  you guys know the network  that they you think Toronto  got. Wetzel. You're laughint  Toronto Minnesota as a sports  market. How their ratings like  this could be a disaster for the  NBA Indiana is still around  Minnesota. All these teams  that nobody cares about. The  Pistons. Yeah they better  hope the Knicks win. Yeah  LeBron dominating yes. By  the way we our first round  leader Scott I got to  mention this to everybody.  We have to if you if you  find a book you need the  each way 1 to 5 or 1 to 6.  Because we had four of our  guys T4 right now Scottie  Scheffler is -190 to win  with a one shot lead. How's  that. That's loves. Your college performance. Ds  not relate to the National  Football League. It never does  played side by side with each  other. And he wasn't as good as  Quinn Ewers. That's an issue.  That's a major issue. It wasn't  the best quarterback they've  ever got to Texas. It wasn't  that he wasn't as good as Quinn  Ewers. It was Quinn Ewers  program, which Steve Sarkisian  why would it be Quinn entirety  the entirety of the time that  Arch Manning was in Austin. So  for you to argue that because  yours is a seventh round pick,  Quinn was not that good and not  deserving of being first overall  is asinine. It is wrong. It is  incorrect. He's going to be  number one overall. My whole  thing was I'm buying your thing  now. You double down on a table.  I'm not doing that. The best  quarterback prospect to ever hit  college football can't play.  He's not a seventh round pick  who didn't even play good  quarterback in the history of  the sport. When you were when  you played Ohio State, you  couldn't even play Ohio State.  Quinn Ewers, go look it up. The  early line only on sports grid.  We're going to go through  every single thing. And I've  got a great team behind me  that's going to help me get  the job done. I want this to  be the place that people  come to. There is going to n  energy to game time decision  that you will feel night in and  night out. We are going to hit  every single one of those  markets that you need to know  about. We will have everything  at our disposal and we will use  that to our advantage. There is  not going to be a better place,  I promise you, than game time  decisions. I'm Kevin Walsh. Tune  in to game time decisions  weekdays on Sports Grid. All right. Welcome back in game  live game day here on the  grid Scott and Dave wrap it  up. Shop here. Thanks again.  Cam Stewart cam and Gabe at  the top of the hour. Sports  grid radio, sports grid TV  just keeping an eye. Knicks  blew another big lead. Boy,  it's been nothing but runs  in this game. Knicks going  out by nine 1011 points. And  the Pistons you know they're  not going to roll over  right. So Knicks just had a  ten point lead. Now it's  tied 103 all with six  minutes still left. Yeah  that's a monster number.  It's amazing Dave how some  of these games like when  they want to play defense,  they can play defense. But  then you get these games lie  tonight you know elimination  game. It's 103 points a piece  and you still got six minutes  left to give you an over under  of over 232 33.5. It's crazy.  Game on the line between two. So  yeah it's just it's different.  Playoff basketball is different.  Try to explain it to people all  the time. Take a lot of out of  what you you know saw in a  regular season doesn't really  apply to this. I still think  the Pistons are going to  extend the series. I'm still  good with that right now.  105 even money. It's going  to jump back and forth  between the two. 234 though  it seems a little bit high  under. Yeah, that's a lot.  Somewhere along the line  they're going to walk the  ball up the court. Yeah.  Let's the thing goes to  overtime. But he grabbed the  Pistons before plus eight  and a half when we suggested  it. You know clearly if he  wanted to you know get a  nice little fat eight point  middle or so you know take  the Knicks or take. Yeah.  Take the Knicks now at you  know pick them. It's funny  the minus a half a point is  -128. And then the money  line is -118. So it's a  quirk. It's a quirk in the  software. It should never  exist. It should either be  pick'em and they should be  the same line. There should  never be a minus a half and  a different juice than  actually the money line.  Good news for the black  cloud. Play of the night.  The Giants already have a  run. It's one nothing in the  bottom of the first. They  have a run before they got  an out. So man runner on  first base two. We're gonna  have to keep track of that  somebody. Yeah either you  know behind the scenes keep  track of the daily wins for  the Colorado Rockies. I  think we get under six and a  half for the White Sox. Last  year, Dave won four in a row  one time. Believe it or not,  they won three in a row like  two other times out of their  41 wins, right? Yeah. How  many wins in a row do you  think the Rockies will get  this year? You think they'll  get four? I think maybe one  time. Somewhere along May.  Not in May. No, I'm not  going to do it in May.  That's all. With that  schedule I don't think  they're going to do it in  May. I said last year on a  different show that I  thought the White Sox would  do it twice or three times.  Dead wrong, dead wrong. Now,  after seeing that and  watching the way it's going,  I think it's just one time  you would think there would  be two four game winning  streaks. But I mean  historically bad team losing  that many games, winning  only in the 40s. Prior to  that, I don't remember a  team only winning like or nt  winning 50 games. I don't  remember anything that that ever  happening. Yeah I, I looked this  up, believe it or not, two years  ago I think it was I forget what  team it was. May have been  Oakland two years ago. Oakland  was 50 and 112. But I looked up  all the all worst teams in the  history of baseball and they all  you know, it was a pretty good  team. It was San Diego, believe  it or not. I looked it up and  all the worst teams in the  history of baseball all at one  point won four in a row and the  Padres in September. And they  were like a 500 team. It was the  craziest thing. Hadn't won four  in a row. And the end they did  win four in a row. So wow. No  team in the history of baseball  has not won at least four in a  row. I don't know if the Rockies  get it. I forward, I think they  will then. That is crazy. That  is crazy. Even the 62 Mets.  The Mets? Yeah. Wow. They  won four in a row. I  remember looking at that  was, you know, the main one.  I figured, okay, they  couldn't have, but they did  like I think it was in April  or May or something along  those lines. Yeah. Okay. So  wow. They might not get it.  It's amazing who wins Knicks  or Pistons I still think the  Knicks finish it up. I still  like them but they got to  get it done tonight.  Clippers nuggets. We got a  game seven. Yes but nuggets  will win game seven. We'll  discuss that more tomorrow.  Yeah. Game seven Edmonton LA  or and Colorado Dallas I  think both home teams win.  Yeah you Edmonton LA is over  yeah same thing Colorado  finds a way to get a win.  And Minnesota still down two  one 6.5 minutes left. Great  job Dave. We'll do it again  tomorrow right here on the  grid."}]
