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.

Las Vegas - Not many right arms throwing better than Toronto's Kevin Gausman. Check out his last three starts.

He has started three times, thrown a total of 17 innings and allowed only 3 runs. That's a 1.59 ERA and that stat POPS off the page. Oakland will rely on Paul Blackburn to silence the Milwaukke bats, and that could be a problem since he was BOMBED the last time out, allowing 7 hits and 5 earned runs in only 5 innings.

Las Vegas - Before we get to the NBA hardwood, bot a little horse racing action from my MAIN guy, Martin Calia. Looks like the air quality has improved, Belmont is open and Marty has a play in the 6th race. The bet is # 5 Dream Shake. We haven't seen Shake since last year but he returns with a few new wrinkles. He has a new trainer in Michael Stidham who is 23% when a horse debuts for his barn, returns as a gelding, and adds lasix for this race.
