Pittsburgh. IL GOW. Game 979. 5:10 pm pst. These two teams are practically mirror images of each others stats this season. They both score over 4.0 RPG while both allow just over 5.0 RPG. However, Pittsburgh has heated up, going 6-3 their last nine contests while Minnesota is ice-cold, dropping nine of their last 10. RH, Brubaker (2-0, 1.76) goes up against LH, Happ (0-0, 3.12). the Twins are 2-6 L8 during Game 1 of a series, 1-4 L5 vs. RH starters, 1-5 L6 at home, and 1-6 L7 as a fav. Take the Pirates.

Boston. Game 565. 4:40 pm pst. Boston, at 32-27 is tied for fifth place in the East. The Celtics need wins. They are on a 9-2 SU run, covering five of their last six. Kemba Walker comes off a 32-point performance last night and has not played the second of back-to-back games this season. But, against an opponent in which they will eventually face in the playoffs, that may change. As of print, Kevin Durant’s status is questionable. If he plays, he’s not 100%. If he doesn’t, Brooklyn’s bench is depleted. This is where the eight ranked scoring defense of the Celtics will shine. Boston is 5-0 ATS L5 as a ‘dog and 6-0 ATS L6 on the road. Brooklyn is 4-11 ATS L15 as a fav and 3-7 ATS L10 at home. Take the Celtics. Thank you.

LAD on the RUN LINE. NL WEST GOW. Game 908. 7:10 pm pst. Los Angeles has had they way with San Diego, winning seven of the last eight meetings, including two of three this season. Only one of those victories have come by a single run. The Dodgers are accounting for 1.65 RPG more than the Padres. San Diego’s offense is truly struggling. Facing Walker Buehler will be fatal. The RH (1-0, 2.00) has been stellar, has the luxury of the league’s 4th ranked scoring lineup, and an incredible bullpen. The Padres are 3-7 L10 during Game 1 of a series, 16-37 L53 as an underdog, 1-4 L5 vs. Rh starters, 1-8 L9 vs. teams with a winning record, and 1-5 L6 overall. Take the Dodgers on the RUN LINE.
