After two days of NBA Play-In games, we are down to four teams vying for the final two spots for this weekend's first round matchups. Jay Cooper has been on fire for over a month now and has nailed all 4 games so far. He is on a remarkable 24-6 (80%) run heading into Friday's action. All of these plays are posted daily on our website and in this newsletter every morning.

Despite a loss on the Pelicans last night, Bobby has been very solid as well, going 22-12 (65%) over his last 34 Best Bets. We will have Friday's Play-In picks in tomorrow's newsletter.

Jay is also heating up in Major League Baseball. He had a winner yesterday afternoon on the Diamondbacks and is on a nice 6-2 (+440) run. There are just seven games on today's schedule and you can find our 3 Best Bets below.

We also have plenty of NHL picks on a busy Thursday before two final games on Friday. Then the real fun begins with the Stanley Cup Playoffs next week.

Remember, all of our picks are 100% FREE and available every morning on our website. Below, you will find our Best Bets for Thursday, April 13th, 2023 from our expert handicappers including some future bets at the bottom. Good luck to everyone today!
