Las Vegas - Injuries SUCK! After the Nuggets picked up Aaron Gordon, we dropped a handful of cash on Denver to win the NBA title at 15/1. Thought that was pretty shrewd. Then, as you probably heard, superstar guard, Jamal Murray, tore his ACL last night and is gone for the rest of the season. Saw the Nuggs plummet all the way to 50/1 at a few joints, but not gonna invest. OUCH!

C'mon with me for a little hop across the pond, and try Liverpool over Real Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final. The Reds lost the first match to Real 3-1, so revenge is certainly on the table. While Jurgen Klopp's side have been less than stellar at Anfield in the Premier League, they do have three wins from four home matches in the Champions League, with three clean sheets. But the problem is, Los Blancos, even with their injuries, are playing at another level, winning 11, drawing twice and losing NONE! So, we'll just make it a very light play to Liverpool for the win. But we're pushing all our chips into the middle of the table for a bet on OVER 2.5 goals at around -$175. Both of these teams know how to find the net, and if the Reds wanna move on to the semi-finals, they MUST be in attack mode for 90 minutes.

Now to Milwaukee for a taste of the Brewers with Corbin Burnes over the Cubs. Ask me why? How about some EYE-POPPING numbers in his first two starts. Corbin has not won a game yet, but he has thrown 12.1 innings, allowed only 1 earned run (0.73 ERA) and posted 20 Ks. Yea, TWENTY! Burnes is gonna BURN the Cubbies and you can BOOK IT!
