Las Vegas - Start out with a little afternoon baseball down in Houston where we're locking down the Astros with Justin Verlander over the Mariners. Verlander missed the ENTIRE 2021 season and pitched just once in 2020. Expectations for 2022 were somewhere between maybe and hopeful. Well, Justin just BLEW maybe and hopeful away, and is on the road to, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! He has started four games, won two, has a ridiculous 1.73 ERA, with 28 Ks in just 26 innings. Gimme JV for the money!

Las Vegas - Before we lace up the ice skates, gonna make a quick stop in Miami and grab the Marlins with Trevor Rogers over the D'backs and Humberto Castellanos. If Humberto does not get the start, we still like the Fish, just not against Madison Bumgarner.

Las Vegas - Not saying we're gonna see PERFECTION again tonight from Chris Paul, but MAN, what a game he had in the finale against the Pelicans. He had 33 points and was 14 of 14 from the field, yes, FOURTEEN of FOURTEEN!!! Made his only hoop from downtown, and was 4-4 from the free throw line. He had 5 boards, 8 assists and wound up with a gigantic +17 on the plus/minus sheet. And even better news for Phoenix is the fact that Devin Booker played 32 minutes after missing three games.

Las Vegas - A little afternoon baseball and we'll drop some love on the Cardinals over the D'backs. And it's all about Miles Mikolas. Double M looked like he was on the verge of a stellar career after posting a gorgeous 18-4 record with a 2.83 ERA back in 2018. Sadly, 2019 was a bust (9-14) and then he had Tommy John in 2020, missing the entire season. Mikolas didn't make it back till August of 2021, and was just okay, with a 2-3 record and a 4.23 ERA. But 2022 is starting to look like 2018.
