MIKE'S EARLY MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Miami Marlins have scored 21 runs through their last three games. Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Woodruff (3-2, 5.97 ERA) was roughed up for six runs (five earned) in 4 1/3 innings of a 10-5 loss at Cincinnati in his last start. Each of Woodruff's last three starts has ended with the game going over the total. Miami right-hander Elieser Hernandez (2-2, 6.37 ERA) has allowed 16 runs over his last four starts. Four of his last five starts have gone over the total. 

The Brewers are averaging a healthy 5.42 R/9 off right-handers. This looks like way too low of a total considering the matchup on the mound.

Mike Lundin's Guardians vs Twins MLB Free Pick May 15, 2022

The Minnesota Twins are 17-13-3 to the under as a team this season and today's starter Joe Ryan (3-2, 2.56 ERA) is off to a hot start to the year.

Ryan owns an ERA of 0.75 in two career starts (12 innings) against Cleveland who hands the ball to right-hander Triston McKenzie (2-2, 2.76 ERA), who much like Ryan has had a promising start to the season. McKenzie has a 5.95 ERA in four career starts against Minnesota, but the Twins bats have been cold lately, scoring more than three runs in only one of their last five games. 

Free pick on UNDER.

MIKE'S SUPER EARLY MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Detroit Tigers have won only 11 of their 34 games and they won't sweep many series this season, but they have a chance of doing just that this Sunday. The Tigers have outscored the Orioles 7-2 through the first two games, and today they hand the ball to left-hander Tarik Skubal (2-2, 2.94 ERA) who is having a strong start to the year. In his last start, Skubal blanked the A's through seven innings of a 6-0 win in Oakland. The Orioles turn to righty Tyler Wells (1-2, 3.75 ERA) who is 0-2 with an 8.00 ERA over three road starts this year. The Orioles have lost five of his six starts this year. 

8* PLAY ON DETROIT TIGERS. 

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* SIDE

The two teams have traded wins and losses throughout this series, with each team winning two games on the road and one at home. The Celtics won 108-95 at Milwaukee on Friday, and I think the alternating of wins and losses stop today. The homecourt advantage should really come in effect here for Game 7, and the Celtics have been the better team in this series IMO. Their role players have mostly been solid while the Bucks' have struggled to contribute much.  

Celtics are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Bucks are 11-23 ATS in their last 34 games as an underdog. Bucks are 3-12-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings.

10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. 

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* TOTAL

The first two games of this series were high-scoring affairs, but the following four games have gone under the total. I fully expect another low-scoring game here in this win-or-go-home matchup where the winner will move on to take on the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals and the loser will, well, go home. The losing team has been held to fewer than 101 points in the last four games, and I would not be surprised if neither team tops 100 points in this one. 

Under is 15-5-1 in Suns last 21 games playing on 2 days rest and 34-16-1 in Suns last 51 games following a straight up loss. Under is 47-22 in Mavericks last 69 games as an underdog.

10* PLAY ON UNDER.
