JOHNNY’S QUICK PICKS April 06, 2024
LAWRENCE, Kansas —
We have caught fire once again with a nice NHL play with the Oilers and two of three MLB winners. We’ve got the last games of the NHL season coming up, plus Men’s BB final four and, of course, MLB. Let’s rock and roll, shall we? Alert: Hockey Lock!

MLB BABY!
D-Backs (+200) at Atlanta
It’s this simple: I’m going to take 2-1 odds on a World Series team (Arizona) who got better. The Braves’ Max Fried got hammered in his first start. Why are the Braves a -210 favorite? D-Backs win this game as huge dog.
Pick: D-Backs (+200)
A’s at Tigers (-145)
This line went down in favor of A’s by 25 points this morning. Kenta Maeda got creamed in his first start is the reason why. Paul Blackburn was lights out for Oakland (Sacramento?). The Triple A’s will find a way to lose.
Pick: Tigers (-145)
Fish at Cards (-145)
We have to bet against Miami until they win two games.
Pick: Cards (-145)
O’s (-140) at Pirates
Baily Falter (Pitt) is not an MLB Starter, Tyler Wells (O’s) is. Pirates come down to earth.
Pick: O’s (-140)
Phils (-175) at D.C.
The more I see of the Nats the less I like them. #DumpsterFireInDC
Pick: Phils (-175)
M’s (+110) at Brew Crew
Seattle starter Bryce Miller is going to have a solid year for the Mariners. He was decent in his rookie season, he has electric stuff and he needs to get ahead of hitters, which he did not do in his first start (you can always tell what games I watched LOL).
Milwaukee’s offense is overrated. Smoke and mirrors.
Pick: Creepy Mariners On The Road (+110)
NHL
Panthers (-110) at Boston
Wow, why is Florida favored in Boston? The Panthers actually have a better goal differential on the season. Boston comes home after a grueling six-game road trip. Florida is just winning right now. Cup is in their sights.
Pick: Florida (-110)
Vancouver at Kings (-115)
Hockey Lock! I love the Kings here. The Canucks are coming down to earth from their run, 5-5 in their past 10. The Kings have won four of five games vs. Vancouver and they are firing on all cylinders, winning six of nine. Plus L.A. is very tough at home.
Pick: Kings (-115)
Lightning (-115) at Penguins
The Pens have been impossible to figure out. These are the types of games they have been losing all season–just when you think “Well, maybe this is the Pens we expected all season”…they lose. Prove me wrong.
Pick: Tampa (-115)
College Hoops
Purdue (-9) Vs. NC State
Purdue is going to win the game, it’s a matter of by how much. This column is called Johnny’s Quick Picks for a reason. If you want detailed analysis, read Dan Angell today right here.
Pick: Purdue (-9)
Huskies (-11.5) Vs. Alabama
Yawn. UConn wins by 20+, easy cover, kick back and relax. Screw SEC basketball.
