NHL Sunday 10* Top Play New York Rangers Money Line -135 vs Pittsburgh Penguins @ 7:05 ET - Crosby likely going to play tonight as he was at practice yesterday and seemed ready to go. However, he is not the Penguins biggest issue right now. Their biggest issue is that they have goalie injury issues and the Rangers have an edge in the crease. Dominque has allowed at least 4 goals in 3 of his last 4 starts. Also, the Rangers have the home ice edge here and all the momentum after rallying from a 3-1 series deficit to tie this series up. Look for the Rangers to ride all these edges to the win this one this evening. 10* NEW YORK RANGERS -135

NBA Sunday 10* Top Play Milwaukee Bucks +5.5 @ Boston Celtics @ 3:30 ET - Boston has home court here for Game 7. Critical, right? Hardly! The home team has only gotten the money ONCE in the first SIX games of this series. These are two very evenly matched teams and I like the value of having the 5.5 points on our side here. We'll grab the points in what should be a tight battle in Game 7. There has been only one blowout win for a home team so far in this series. Also, the same team has not won B2B games in this series yet and I do not expect that to change here. I am expecting the Bucks to get the outright upset win as they have the champion pedigree. But I am also grabbing the points should this be a tight finish decided by just a bucket or two. 10* MILWAUKEE +5.5

*action on pitchers* MLB Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 8.5 in Pittsburgh Pirates vs Cincinnati Reds @ 1:35 ET - The Pirates won 3-1 yesterday but this followed a stretch in which the Reds had scored 4 or more runs in 10 straight games. Cincinnati had been heavily trending to the over and I am not going to let one game stand in way of that. The Reds should bounce back here. I know Quintana has been throwing well for the Pirates but there will be a regression to the mean for this guy. As for Greene, he has struggled badly for Cincinnati and the over is 3-0 in his last 3 starts. He has a 7.62 ERA on the season and a 10.22 ERA in his last 3 starts. Neither bullpen is very good and no matter who starts here I am expecting plenty of runs in this one. 10* OVER 8.5 in Pittsburgh

*action on pitchers* MLB Sunday 8* OVER 8 in Atlanta Braves vs San Diego Padres @ 11:35 AM ET - The bullpens imploded in yesterday's game and it led to an over. I know neither team hit overly great yesterday but look for another over today and even better hitting. The Padres bullpen has struggled on the road this season. The Braves bullpen has struggled at home this season. No matter who starts here I like the over but also will mention Musgrove got rocked the last time he started at Atlanta and Wright enters this start struggling so San Diego should pound him. 8* OVER 8 in Atlanta

EPL Sunday 8* OVER 2.5 in Wolverhampton vs Norwich City @ 9 AM ET - Wolverhampton is not known for scoring a lot of goals but that has led to line value here. Norwich City continues to get thrashed in match after match as they are already doomed to relegation status. The visitors certainly are not playing inspired with their recent efforts and that will open things up for the hosts to have a breakout effort here. However, Wolverhampton are allowing an average of 1.2 goals per match on their home pitch this season and I would not be surprised to see Norwich find the back of the net at least once. That should lead to a 2-1 final at the very least here. 8* OVER 2.5 in Wolverhampton

EPL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in West Ham United vs Manchester City @ 9 AM ET - West Ham has scored in all their home matches this season and Manchester City has some issues impacting their defense right now. That said, West Ham should score at least once here but, of course, the visitors are heavy favorites on the road for a reason here. Manchester City is looking to hold off Liverpool for the top spot in the league in this campaign and will be heavy on the attack here. City averaging scoring about 2.6 goals per match this season while the hosts averaging about 1.7 goals scored per match on their home pitch. That said, plenty of goals expected here given all of the above. 10* OVER 3 in West Ham United

EPL Sunday 10* Top Play Brighton & Hove PK -115 @ Leeds United @ 9 AM ET - Even though Leeds are hosting this one, they are slumping and have less rest and are a bit of a depleted squad right now. Conversely, Brighton is playing extremely well of late and has the rest edge here plus has won 7 road matches this season while Leeds have only 4 victories on their home pitch this season. A lot of pressure on the hosts as they are looking to avoid relegation while Brighton is loaded with confidence and playing without any pressure. Leeds allowing an average of 2 goals per match as a host this season while the visitors allowing only 1 goal per match when traveling this season. 10* BRIGHTON & HOVE PK -115

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach Sunday EPL Free Pick OVER 3 in Tottenham vs Burnley @ 7 AM ET - The hosts going strong for a top four finish in the table while the visitors have played inspired on the pitch recently since the sacking of their manager but did struggle in last week's loss. Burnley has scored at least a goal in five consecutive EPL matches. Tottenham have won 5 of last 6 home league matches and have scored at least three goals in all five of those victories. In other words, expect this one to have plenty of scoring given the expected hosts victory and the fact that Burnley has not fell victim to a clean sheet in any of its last five matches. Free Pick OVER 3 in Tottenham
