May 19: Spurs-Hornets Game 7, Cardinals-Padres game
I'll make this short and sweet as gametime is approaching, but I do like the Spurs +5 in Game 7 of their series with the Hornets on Monday night (5:35 p.m. ViewFromVegas Time). It's no secret this series has been dominated with the home teams winning and covering all 6 previous games, but I have to take the defending champs in this pressure-packed game. Just like the Cavaliers in their Game 7 with the Celtics, it should be close down to the wire and I have to take the points, especially as the public continues to pour in the steam on the Hornets (the line opened as low as 3 when it first went up last Friday, with most books opening at 3.5). I'll take the extra point and a half, though I'll be waiting to see if I can get a +5.5 closer to tipoff. Regardless, I think the extra rest (these teams haven't had to play since last Thursday) also helps the older Spurs, and again the experience could come into play as they have had the extra time to gameplan for this decisive game.

I'll also go with a rare gameday baseball play. The Cardinals are playing the Padres (7:05 p.m. VFV Time). Todd Wellemeyer (4-1) is going for the Cardinals against Wilfredo Ledezma (0-0, and making just his second start this year after only starting once last year). This game was opened with the Padres favored at some books. The market has corrected, but the Cards are still available between -115 and -120 at many books. Bet it if you can before it continues to move.
