Best bets for Wednesday, April 1

The Boston Celtics are looking to bounce back from a loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Monday when they visit the Miami Heat on Wednesday evening in a matchup of two teams that have had some great playoff battles over the years. The Celtics are again heading to the playoffs, while the Heat seem destined for the play-in as the No. 9 seed. Miami has lost seven of its last 10 games, but the SportsLine Projection Model sees value on the home side in Wednesday's contest. The Heat win in 38% of simulations as +160 underdogs, bringing value at those odds. Bet on Celtics-Heat and more NBA at BetMGM here:

After throwing 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his 2026 debut, New York Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler goes to the mound on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners in the series rubber match. Schlittler is trying to follow up Max Fried's seven-inning shutout effort on Tuesday, while the Mariners hope their bats can wake up after scoring just two runs in the series so far. George Kirby gets the nod for Seattle and he had a good outing in his 2026 opener as well, pitching six strong innings against the Guardians and allowing just one run. The SportsLine model sees plenty of offense in this one, as the Over on 7 hits in 67.8% of simulations for a "B" grade. Sign up for BetMGM and wager on Yankees-Mariners and other MLB games:
