T.M. Selection: FREE PLAY on the Rangers runline.

No need to overthink this one, as I believe that Texas will not only win this favorable home matchup, but do so in blowout fashion. That makes the "runline" option the prudent move in this case in my opinion. And it all boils down to the starting pitching in my estimation, with the Rockies handing the ball to the volatile Cahse Dollander (2-3, 7.71 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, and the home side countering with the surging Tyler Mahle (3-1, 1.48 ERA, 0.98 WHIP). Consider the Rangers on the runline on Monday.

T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Texas.

T.M. Selection: Knicks.

I really do feel that New York has a legitimate shot at winning this game outright, but in the end, I'll recommend grabbing the points. Very much like the Pacers, who took both games in Cleveland, then dropped Game 3 at home, only to then take Game 4 last night quite easily as an underdog, I'm expecting a similar thing to happen here in The Big Apple after the Knicks dropped their Game 3 matchup to the C's by a score of 115-93. Previous to that, Jalen Brunson and company had won three straight. Now I think they're going to bounce back big here. Note as well that the Knicks are 7-3 ATS in their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss in which they were held to 95 or fewer points in. It's now the Celtics who are completely overvalued in this spot. Grab the points, Knicks dominate!

T.M. Prediction: 105-103 Boston.

T.M. Selection: Capitals puckline.

While I absolutely feel that an outright win is going to be the most likely outcome in this contest for the Capitals, at this price, I think the correct call is to grab the visitors on the puckline. Carolina blanked Washington 4-0 in Game 3, but just like after losing Game 1 by a score of 2-1 in OT, the Capitals would then respond with a convincing 3-1 win in Game 2, and I believe they'll now do so again here in Game 4. The Hurricanes were strong at home, finishing 31-9-1, but Washington enters as no slouch on the road at 25-13-3. Look for Alexander Ovechkin and this "stalled out" Capitals offense to finally get things "put into gear" here in Game 4. And while I do indeed for sure think the Capitals can win this one outright, as I stated at the start, my official call is to grab the value here, which I feel is the Capitals on the puckline.

T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Washington.
