Raptors at Bucks
Play: Bucks -1.5

This has been on oddball series with four of the first five games decided by double-digit margins, and an about-face in the last two games which were Toronto wins after the Bucks looked in complete control after Game 3. What we do not expect is for Toronto to shoot 58% or out rebound the Bucks 40-23 as in Game 5. Milwaukee's length is still a potential issue for the Raps, and even though the Bucks were whipped in Game 5, the Greek Freak Antetokuonmpo was effective, scoring 30 after a subpar effort in Game 4.

Toronto vs. Milwaukee
Pick: Milwaukee

Postseason success hasn't exactly been a hallmark of the Toronto Raptors but for that matter, the Bucks haven't won a playoff series 2001. Toronto played its best game of the series on Monday, winning 118-93 to seize a 3-2 series advantage.Going to a three-guard lineup didn't seem like much of a big deal in Game 4 (Toronto scored just 87 points in an 11-point win) but in Game 5, Norman Powell erupted for 25 points, while the team's regular starting backcourt of DeRozan (18) and Lowry (16) combined for 34 points.

"You can talk about it but you’ve got to go out there and you’ve got to play. You've got to know how it feels to get your (expletive) kicked, right? And that’s what happened (Monday)," head coach Jason Kidd told reporters. "Being a young team, we were in that position in Game 3 (winning big). We have to understand what took place so we know what we have to do come Game 6." Milwaukee is looking to overcome a recent history of embarrassing Game 6 failures at home, which includes a 120-66 loss to Chicago in 2014 and an 83-69 setback against Atlanta in 2010.

Here's the rub. The Bucks have to win to avoid losing their eighth consecutive playoff series (dating back to 2001). However, Toronto is 0-3 under Dwane Casey when it has had the chance to end a series in six games. Nothing changes here. It was Toronto's 'day' in Game 5 and its Milwaukee's turn to 'shine' here in Game 6. Take the home team.

MLB | A's vs Angels
Play on: Angels -114 at GTBets

A's/Angels 10:05: Angels getting on a little roll (3-0) and we'll look for them to follow up with a sweep in this series tonight. Ricky Nolasco, tonight's starter for the Angels, not the desired go-to-guy I feel comfortable with but good enough to get by the struggling bats of Oakland who were outscored 21-7 over their three game slide. Nolasco, who skipped his last start to work out mechanical issues, should give us five decent innings until the Angels' bullpen can close this one out. On the other hand, the A's Graveman, who beat Nolasco April 3rd, is coming off a strained shoulder and could be vulnerable here to a heating up Angels' lineup. Trout and Simmons each have 10 and 7 game hitting streaks, respectively. And Maybin and Calhoun are showing good bat work as well. With the Angels at 15-5 at home against teams under .500 and in charge of this series, we'll grab them here.

Penguins vs. Capitals
Capitals -135 at 5DIMES

Capitals -135

Right before the series started the Capitals got a huge boost in Vegas to win the series. I think that bodes well for them here in game one. They are playing at home and both teams have had some rest, so the home crowd will give the Caps that added boost for the first 10 minutes of the game.

Pick= Capitals -135
