Las Vegas - Atlanta keeps finding solid young arms and Jared Shuster is on that list. After some early trouble in April, Shuster was sent down to the minors to clean up some issues. Looks like it worked well because Jared has won three of his last four with one no decision. On the other side of the field, Colorado's Dinelson Lamet has been struggling.

Las Vegas - Gonna drop another golf wager on you and let you see how important it is to SHOP AROUND. Had a few wagers already on the sheet, and most of 'em were long shots. Max Homa (25/1), Tyrrell Hatton (45/1) and Si Woo Kim (85/1). So, thought it's time to drop some cash on one of the favorites and decided on Brooks Koepka.

The last three times out, Flaherty has thrown a total of 18 innings, allowed 2 earned runs for a very skinny 1.00 ERA. If St.

Las Vegas - This probably sounds NUTZ, but if you don't feel it, DON'T do it. Just because it's game five of the NBA Finals, there is NO LAW that you must lay down a bet. Unless I skipped that part in the 'Handicappers Guide to the Universe.' Don't wanna lay nine points because if the Nuggets are up bigly, then it's garbage time, and you know that the Heat will fight to the final buzzer.
