*3 Star Play on the Dodgers* Yu Darvish has been throwing the ball really well of late. Darvish has allowed a grand total of 3 runs in his last four starts. He has 2 walks and 28 strikeouts during that time. Darvish changes speeds as good as anyone in the game.

The Cubs strike out at the 11th highest rate of any team in baseball. Darvish has elite swing and miss stuff. I think he is a tough matchup for this Cubs lineup.

Kyle Hendricks throws a lot of changeups, and his fastball doesn't have much velocity. Hendricks faces a Dodgers lineup that hits changeups very well. This Dodgers lineup is deep even without Seager. I see Hendricks having to try to work out of jams pretty often here.

The Dodgers bullpen is the best in the NL by a wide margin. The Cubs bullpen is overworked and they aren't very good to begin with.

I'll grab the plus money price here.

Take the Dodgers.

*3 Star NHL Total DOMINATION*The Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs battle on Tuesday inside Capital One Arena.

This one has the makings of a game with a lot of fireworks.

Both offenses have been on fire to start the season. The Maple Leafs have averaged 5.20 goals per game thus far and they get a Capitals defense that is playing with very little confidence. The Caps have conceded 22 goals thus far, which really should open things up for the Leafs here. Expect them to crash the net and put a lot of pressure on.

Washington's offense has been up to the challenge themselves. The Capitals have seen Alexander Ovechkin go off early on and the Caps have been feeding off his energy. Washington has put in 3.67 goals per game thus far and they have been one of the most explosive teams. With how many weapons this team has, they have the ability to go off and score in bunches.

Take the over here.

*3 Star NBA ATS Bookie CRUSHER* The Washington Wizards are without Markieff Morris to tip off the season. For a team that isn't deep in the frontcourt, that's a significant injury. Washington is a veteran team at this point, and they are going to have a solid season again. Washington hasn't been good laying big points at home in recent years though, and I think there is plenty of reason to doubt them in this one.

The Philadelphia 76ers are no longer trying to lose. This is a team that brought in Redick in the offseason and has Ben Simmons, Markelle Fultz, Joel Embiid, and all sorts of young talent. Philadelphia still has some role players that played great down the stretch last year as well. The 76ers depth is better than average, and I see them as a highly motivated team starting off the season.

The Wizards are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 in the first game of the season. They are laying too much here.

Take the points and the 76ers.
