Seattle at Texas 8:00 ET Mariners over Rangers- Right-hander Dane Dunning (1-3, 4.31 ERA) will start for Texas while the Mariners will go with right-hander Logan Gilbert (5-2, 2.29). Gilbert will look for his second win over the Rangers this season. He beat them at home on April 20, when he threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out four. He allowed six hits and no walks. In four career starts against Texas, Gilbert is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA. Dunning is 1-1 with a 5.00 ERA in two career starts vs. Seattle. He lost to Gilbert and the Mariners on April 20, when he gave up three runs on six hits in four-plus innings. He struck out three and walked three. Take SEATTLE! |

Arizona at Pittsburgh 7:05 ET Diamondbacks over Pirates- The Pirates have won six of their past nine games and have won three consecutive for the first time this season. Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly (3-3, 3.67 ERA) is slated to face Pittsburgh right-hander JT Brubaker (0-4, 4.15). Kelly started strong this year, going 3-1 with a 1.22 ERA through six starts, before leveling off over his last four appearances. In his most recent outing, Kelly gave up three runs in five innings Saturday in one of those losses during the sweep by the Dodgers. Brubaker has allowed just two runs over 11 2/3 innings of his past two starts and both runs were unearned. But he was 0-1 in those games due in large part to a lack of run support. The Pirates have scored just two runs with him on the mound over his past four starts. Brubaker has faced Arizona once, pitching five scoreless innings in a 4-2 win last season on Aug. 24. After sweeping the Dodgers I see a Pirate letdown. Take ARIZONA! |

San Diego at Milwaukee 7:40 ET Brewers over Padres- San Diego is playing fantastic ball as they are 11-games over .500 but still trail the Division leading Dodgers by 3-games and they just don't seem able to get over the hump. The Padres have lost three straight and 6-of-8 as their road record dropped to an outstanding 17-9 despite losing their last three at St. Louis. The Brewers have dropped their last two at the Cubs but are 8-3 in the past 11 meetings.and are 7-2 in their last nine home games.

Milwaukee at Chicago Cubs 8:05 ET Chicago's right-hander Kyle Hendricks (2-5, 5.20 ERA) will start for the Cubs and will look to get back on track after posting back-to-back losses. He has been roughed up over his last two starts, posting an ERA of 11.00 in nine innings. Milwaukee right-hander Jason Alexander will be tasked with taking some weight off of the bullpens shoulders. He will make his major league debut Wednesday in place of Brandon Woodruff, who went to the 15-day IL with a high-ankle sprain. Alexander went 6-2 with a 2.64 ERA in Triple-A this season but will find MLB hitters a bit tougher. Take the CUBS! |

05-31-22 | Astros v. A's +125 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 48 m | Show | |
Houston at Oakland 9:40 ET A's over Astros- After playing as over-achievers in most recent season's I believe that losing quality players year after year has finally taken it's toll as the attrition of players like Olson, Bassitt, Chapman, Marte and Canha have finally caught up to Oakland. But, they still have Frankie Montas (2-4, 3.28 ERA) who is hot and has 25 strikeout in his last 14.2 innings allowing just nine hits. Christian Javier (3-2, 2.43) who is tough as nail to hit with 48 K's in 37 innings while giving up just 25 hits. At home hungry for a win I am taking Montas and the A's. Take OAKLAND! |

Chicago White Sox at Toronto 7:07 ET Blue Jays over White Sox- Man, I'm shaking my head because the 'book's are definitely taking a side here. Now, if I'm not mistaken the White Sox a heavy favorite to win the AL Central and will have All-Star Lucas Giolito (3-1, 2.63 ERA) on the mound and they are a huge underdog at Toronto. Granted the Blue Jays will have Kevin Gausman (4-3, 2.25) taking the hill and he is at his best after 10 years and five teams in the bigs. Chicago is treading water at 23-23 while the Jays still are trying to stay close enough to the Yankees. The line is telling me to lay this inflated price. Take TORONTO! |

San Francisco at Philadelphia 6:45 ET Phillies over Giants- Are the the Phillies reeling or what...after making a number free agent signings the past two seasons have shown little positive results. Philadelphia who may be the worst fielding team in baseball is minus -965 already this season at $100 a play. Joe Girardi says he's not worried about his job, why should he be worried he gets paid no matter what and can go back to TV. The Giants are playing decent baseball and are a half dozen games over .500 but that magic that had them winning 107 games last season is long gone. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Atlanta at Arizona 8:10 ET Braves over Diamondbacks- Atlanta rookie pitcher Spencer Strider is set to make his first major league start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday in Phoenix. Strider (1-1, 2.22 ERA) has been dazzling as a reliever in his first 11 games, allowing six runs across 24 1/3 innings with 37 strikeouts. Right-hander Zac Gallen (3-0, 2.22 ERA) will take the mound for Arizona and he struggled in his last outing, giving up six runs over 5 1/3 innings against the Kansas City Royals last Tuesday. Gallen, entered the game with a 1.14 ERA but yielded seven hits while throwing 96 pitches against the Royals. Gallen has been especially tough at home, going 3-0 with a 2.40 ERA in his last seven starts at Chase Field. But, the Braves are 6-1 in the last seven meetings in Arizona. Take ATLANTA! |

Boston and Miami 8:30 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- It so appears that Miami is a one-man gang and as Jimmy Butler goes so go the Heat. The question is can he repeat his act a hard one to match scoring a playoff career high 47 points. The Celtics have won twice in Miami by 13 and 25 points and being a small favorite on the road bother me as they are 29-14-1 ATS in their last 44 playoff games as favorites and 4-1 ATSin their last five games in Miami. they become inviting...I can't do it.

L.A. will start Patrick Sandoval and he is (3-1, 1.79 ERA) and is looking for a complete game after pitching into the eighth in his start last Sunday against Oakland.

Irvin was saddled with a loss in his last outing despite allowing three runs on eight hits in six innings against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.

Miami at Boston 8:30 ET Celtics (-) over Heat- After what we've seen the play between these two clubs it appears obvious that Boston is the better team. After playing 20 separate quarters the Heat have outscored the Celtics just four times but have still managed a pair of victories. Miami is playing with damaged goods with injuries to Jimmy Butler having the biggest impact. With an ailing Butler the Heat offense just doesn't get it done and Boston's defense is stifling. In an elimination game the Heat will be desperate and are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 meetings in Boston. I just don't think the Heat are up to it. Take BOSTON! |

N.Y. Yankees at Tampa Bay 7:10 ET Rays over Yankees- The Yankees look like they can run away with the AL East as they have built the best record in baseball by beating up the the lower tier of clubs. New York has played 31 of their 45 games to date against teams with records below .500 having faced Baltimore, Detroit, Kansas City snd Texas numerous times. Tampa Bay has given the Yankees fits over the years but lost to them 7-2 yesterday and are 13-4 after scoring two runs or less in their previous 17 games and are 40-14 in their last 54 home games against right-handed starters.

Oakland's mainstay Frankie Montas (2-4, 3.55) has been better but doesn't deserve what he has been handed as his mates have scored one run in four of his last five starts.

Dallas at Golden State 9:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- If you are anything like me your first thoughts (at least mine were) about Game 5 was that Golden State would put it together after their poor effort in Game 4 at Dallas. The difficulty I have with this one is that I expect heavy action on the Warriors and they have enough room to win under the 'number.' Mavericks are 21-10 ATS in last 31 on the roads against winning teams and the Warriors are 7-15-1 ATS I their last 23 games following an ATS loss. Somehow, someway it's...DALLAS! |

Boston at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET White Sox over Red Sox- It looks like Boston's Michael Wacha (3-0, 1.76 ERA) has come back to the big time for the first time in over three years as he has allowed just 17 hits in 31.2 innings. In six starts he has yet to surrender more than four hits. Like Wacha, Dallas Keuchel (2-4, 6.60) would like to make a come back of sorts off his early season performances this year. Aside from a 5-inning no-run outing against the Yankees (who battered him for six runs in 4-innings his next time out and he has been abominable. But the Red Sox are 1-4 in the last five meetings and the White Sox are 8-3 in their last 11 games against teams with losing records. Take CHICAGO WHITE SOX! |

Wainwright who allowed just three runs in 20 innings while winning his first three starts this month is 20-13 with a 2.69 ERA in 50 career appearances against Milwaukee, including 43 starts.

I remember a series like this before between the Knicks and then Bullets as Wes Unseld and Willis Reed exchanged great performances on alternating nights. Okay, enough nostalgia about Game 5...it's simple the Heat licks their wounds and warm up in Miami! The oddsmakers favor the Celtics more and more which I don't like but they will have the 'public money' against them in this one. Take MIAMI! |

Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati 6:40 ET Reds over Cubs- The Reds starter Luis Castillo (0-2, 4.60 ERA) is well respected by the book makers as he has been highly touted despite having had only one winning season in his six year career. Part of his problem has been a lack of run support and at times his control could be better. Chicago will send Kyle Hendricks (2-4, 4.89) to the mound and he has had eight straight winning seasons all for the Cubs but this year he is struggling while giving up the long ball 10 times in less than 50 innings and last year he surrendered 31 dingers.

Golden State has a tendency to give 'one up' when leading 3-0 and has gone 6-4 SU and with one of the losses coming against the Denver Nuggets earlier this season. The Warriors have covered just one of their last five road games and that being two days ago in Game 3 in Dallas.

With their weak link jettisoned to Minnesota and not having to thrown to catcher Gary Sanchez the Yankees now possess the No. 1 team ERA in the MLB allowing just 3.14 RPG. New York's Jordan Montgomery (0-1, 3.35 ERA) has been the hard luck hurler with no wins in eight starts despite allowing two runs or less in six starts and just three in the two others Bomber should be focused after Monday's loss.

Last time out I gave you guys all the reasons to play against Chicago starter Marcus Stroman (1-4, 4.88 ERA) who always has problems winning no matter how well he might pitch that day. Well, today is that day, the Cubs will win as the MLB's worst Cincinnati will send Tyler Mahle (2-4, 5.23) to the mound. Mahle's troubles start with his control as he averages 4.6 BB per nine innings and the Reds take care of the rest. Cincy is 1-4 in the last five meetings and the terrible Cubs are 5-2 on the road.

Cobb is 1-1 with a 4.76 ERA in three starts against the Mets. The Giants are 5-2 over the Mets in the last seven meetings at home. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Miami at Boston 8:30 ET Celtics (-) over Heat- For Boston Jayson Tatum is questionable, Marcus Smart is questionable, Robert Williams III is questionable and Al Horford will play. Miami, like the Celtics are a band of walking wounded with Jimmy Butler most likely probable. Still, this is a high price to pay to bet the Celtics and probably for good reason. Take BOSTON! |

Golden State at Dallas 9:00 ET Warriors over Mavericks- Teams that live and die via the 3-point field goal run hot and cold during the same game and games have dramatic lead swings. Dallas like so many other teams after grabbing a huge early lead (2nd or 3rd Q) players seem to think it gives them license to throw up long range bombs shot after shot without ever having an offensive flow or an attempt to work the ball inside. Golden State has outscored the Mavericks 106-62 in the paint and with their veteran experience I don't see that changing. They will attack Doncic and wear down this one-man team. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

New York Mets at Colorado 3:10 ET Rockies over Mets- Colorado's Austin Gomber (2-3, 4.38 ERA) has alternated wins, losses and no decisions between all his starts and the tarot cards tell us it is his turn to win. New York Taijuan Walker (1-0, 3.52) has only been scored upon twice in his five appearances this season but in those other two outings he gave up 10 runs in nine innings work. Mile-High bats lead MLB in team batting average and they are No. 4 in OPS. The Mets are 2-5 in their last seven against left-handed starters and are 20-43 in last 63 starts against lefties on the road while the Rockies are 10-4 at home against right handed starters. Take COLORADO! |

Miami at Boston 8:30 ET Heat (-) over Celtics- What a difference a day makes especially when playing NBA Conference Final games. I mean 'you' dominate Game One and cruse to an easy home victory and then get blown out by 25 points in Game Two. So, once again I will point out that Miami is the No. 1 seed in the East but the oddsmakers have made the Celtics (when healthy) the favorite for the series and a stronger side each time out. The Heat the No. 1 seed was a -1.5-point favorite at home and now are getting 6.5 and it looks high to many as Miami give the 'Bean-town' fits in Boston going 10-3 ATS in the last 13. Celts are 1-3-1 ATS after a SU win on the playoffs but are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games. Take MIAMI! |

L.A. Dodgers at Philadelphia 6:05 ET Phillies over Dodgers- Philadelphia will send hard luck hurler Aaron Nola (1-4, 3.64 ERA) to the mound on Saturday. In his latest start, Sunday against the Dodgers, Nola allowed four hits and two runs in seven innings. He struck out eight and walked two in a no-decision but has been removed four times with a lead only to have the Phillies bullpen blow his chance for victory. Nola is 2-0 with a 3.09 ERA in six career starts against the Dodgers. Mitch White (1-0, 4.82 ERA) is expected to receive the start for Los Angeles. The third-year right-hander lost his lone career start against the Phillies when he gave up two runs in four innings on Aug. 12, 2021. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Arizona at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Cubs over Diamondbacks- The Diamondbacks' scheduled Saturday starter, Madison Bumgarner (2-2, 2.29 ERA), has thrown the ball relatively well this season despite yielding a season-high three runs and six hits over five innings of a 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. The 32-year-old left-hander posted a 1.17 ERA in five April starts but owns a 4.38 ERA in three this month. He has been consistently solid against the Cubs, going 9-3 with a 2.25 ERA in 15 career starts. Chicago starter Justin Steele (1-4, 4.50 ERA) has not won since the second game of the season -- six successive starts without a winning decision but still, the left-hander is coming off the best outing of his season. On Sunday, he allowed the Diamondbacks just two runs (one earned) on three hits with a career-best 10 strikeouts. Take CHICAGO! |

Toronto will start Alek Manoah (4-1, 1.71 ERA) who has allowed just 25 hits in 42 innings and last season threw 117 innings and surrendered just 70 hits. His mound opponent will be Hunter Green (1-6, 6.21) who before his last start a 7.1 inning no-hit performance which lower his ERA to 6.21. Prior to that start he had given up 23 runs in 25 innings.

San Diego at San Francisco 10:15 ET Padres over Giants- This series opens Friday night with left-hander Sean Manaea (2-3, 3.77 ERA in seven starts) pitching for the Padres against Giants right-hander Jakob Junis (1-1, 1.79 in four games, two starts). Both pitchers joined their respective teams this spring. Junis, 29, signed with the Giants as a free agent in March after spending his entire career with the Royals, with whom he went 29-35 with a 4.82 ERA and 1.353 WHIP in 105 games (89 starts) over five seasons. He faced the Padres once before in 2017, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk with six strikeouts in seven innings in a win. San Diego is 14-7 on the road this year and are 5-1-1 in their seven road series to date. Sean Manaea will start for the Padres and he faced the Giants earlier in the season and gave up two runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six innings in a 2-1 loss. Manaea has pitched six or more innings in six of his seven starts with six quality starts. He has a 1.116 WHIP with 50 strikeouts in 43 innings. He has been handcuffed by a lack of offense. Manaea, who spent his first six seasons pitching across the bay from the Giants, has a 2-3 career record against San Francisco with a 2.72 ERA and a 1.163 WHIP in eight starts. He has given up 18 runs (13 earned) on 38 hits and 12 walks with 32 strikeouts in 43 innings. Take SAN DIEGO! |

Dallas at Golden State 9:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- Of course everyone thinks that this series hinges on Dallas' Super-star Luca Doncic but that is not how they are going to win, if they can. Defense is what got the Mavericks here as they enter Game 2 allowing 104.7 PPG ranking No. 2 in the NBA and Game 1 was one of their worst performances. The Mavericks are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games after allowing more than a 100 points and they are 19-7 ATS after a straight-up loss. The Warriors are 8-2 in their last 10 home games but the Mavs are 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings and 6-2 ATS at Golden State! Take DALLAS! |

Minnesota at Kansas City 8:10 ET Royals over Twins- Minnesota will hand the ball to left-hander Devin Smeltzer (0-0, 1.80 ERA) to face the Royals Daniel Lynch (2-2, 3.30). The Twins Smeltzer has faced the Royals five times in his four-year career, but only two of those came in starts. He ought to have some confidence because he's earned half his big-league wins against the Royals. He's 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA all-time against Kansas City. After allowing six runs in his first start of the season, he has allowed just five earned runs in the last 25 innings. He's had three scoreless outings in his past six starts and has allowed just three hits in 5 1/3 innings in his last start in Colorado. Take KANSAS CITY! |

His last two starts he hasn't allowed zero runs in 13 innings and just six hits. Aaron Civale (1-3, 9.85) my Connecticut compadre has been struggling and has surrendered 30 runs in just 24.2 innings. Tigers favored on the nod get the road. Take DETROIT! |

Boston took a 62-54 lead at the half and never stood a chance as the Heat fired up the burners and out scored the Celtics 39-14 as the affects of Marcus Smart and Al Horford's absence was felt.

They also have Zac Gallen (2-0, 1.05 ERA) on the mound who has allowed just 18 hits and four earned runs in 34.3 innings and he has struck out 35 and walked just five. Chicago will send Marcus Stroman (1-3, 5.13) to the hill who has had one winning season in the past five and always seems to find a place tp lose surrenders 8.75 hits per nine innings and Cubs are 1-4 in his starts.

The Mariners have had problems against left-handed starters going 1-6 in their last seven starts against southpaws.

Padres starter Yu Darvish ((3-1, 4.62 ERA) began the season with six no-hit innings and has been inconsistent since posting an ERA over 5.00. Philadelphia will send Kyle Gibson (3-1, 4.10) to the hill and he is off his worst performance of the year with the Dodgers clubbing him for eight hits and six runs in 3.2 innings.

Two of those series victories came against Boston (2012, 2020). The second-seeded Celtics have dropped four straight Eastern Conference finals, including three in a four-season stretch from 2017-20.

Detmers threw a no-no last time out a nine inning stint that lowered his ERA to 3.77 as he had previously surrendered 13 runs in 19 innings of work.

However, the right-hander will look for his first win since April 13 when he takes the mound on Tuesday night. Four of Eovaldi's five starts since then have been no-decisions, including his outing at Atlanta on Wednesday during which he struck out six Braves over 6 1/3 innings of three-run ball.

First place Houston has won 12 of 13 and will start Jake Odorizzi (3-2, 3.38 ERA) who looks to continue a dominant run during the series-opening start in Boston. The righty has won his last three starts, allowing just one run on six combined hits over 17 2/3 innings in that stretch. Odorizzi pitched at Fenway last June, earning the victory in his 20th career start against Boston. He is 5-7 with a 4.87 ERA all-time against the Sox, who have beaten him in three of his five most recent starts dating back to 2017.

Memphis at Golden State 10:00 ET Grizzlies/Warriors- (Under)- The Warriors have alternated over and unders their past seven games and after Memphis scored 134 points in the last meeting and they are 5-1 to the Under after a win of 10 points or more. I expect things will slow down at Golden State where these two are 6-1 Under in the last eight and Under is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings overall. The Warriors are ranked No. 3 in points allowed surrendering just 105.5 PPG and they have gone Under 4-1 in five games following a loss. Play UNDER! |

Chicago Cubs at Arizona 9:40 ET Cubs over Diamondbacks- How long can it last? What I am trying to say is that Arizona at 17-15 after the first month had the worst record in baseball (along with the Orioles) and lost 110 games last season and are 11-4 over their last 15 outings. The Cubs just took 2-of-3 at San Diego while having lost six straight prior to that series. Left-hander Drew Smyly (1-3, 3.04 ERA), who the Diamondbacks roughed up last year in his only career start against Arizona, will get the start for the Cubs. The Diamondbacks will counter with veteran right-hander Zach Davies (1-1, 3.34). Davies will be making his 20th career start against the Cubs, carrying a 7-7 record and 3.61 ERA. Cubs are 6-2 in the last eight meetings including 4-1 at Arizona. Take CHICAGO! |

Boston at Milwaukee 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- If you saw what I just saw in Game 5 it looks as though the Bucks can just turn it on any time they'd like...but we know what has happened in this series as these two battlers have alternated wins and losses and it's the Boston's turn to rise to the occasion. With Milwaukee's rating slipping even when the win as they are such meager favorites at home where they were 33-14 and just have to win. Celts are still No. 1 in overall defense and FG and 3-pt % allowed.and they are 9-2-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings including 5-0 ATS in Milwaukee. Take BOSTON! |

Toronto at Tampa Bay 7:10 ET Rays over Blue Jays- After a strong 15-8 start that had them keeping pace with the Yankees, the Blue Jays have lost four in a row and seven of nine The Rays could have been in the same boat as the Blue Jays After starting a 10-game West Coast trip with six consecutive wins, the Rays lost three in a row. For Toronto today, it will be veteran right-hander Kevin Gausman (3-1, 2.13 ERA). The Rays will turn to right-hander Drew Rasmussen (3-1, 2.89). Rasmussen has allowed just two earned runs while winning his last three starts. The Blue Jays have won Gausman's last four starts, as he has picked up three of the wins with one no-decision. In 17 career games against Tampa Bay, including 15 starts, Gausman is 7-6 with a 4.00 ERA. Rasmussen is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in three appearances (two starts) against the Blue Jays. Take TAMPA BAY! |

Baltimore at Detroit 7:10 ET Tigers over Orioles- The Tigers have lost nine of their last 10 games, including four of a five-game series with Oakland. Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (0-2, 4.50 ERA) will make his seventh start of the season for Detroit. He's still seeking his first victory despite delivering his best outing of the season last week at Houston, when he gave up just one hit -- a solo home run to Jose Altuve -- and struck out eight in 6 2/3 innings on Saturday. Rodriguez is quite familiar with Baltimore as a member of Boston's rotation for six seasons. He's faced the Orioles 22 times, beating them 12 times -- more than any other club he has faced. He has a 12-5 record and 3.11 ERA against Baltimore. He'll be opposed by Jordan Lyles (2-2, 4.05 ERA), who will also be making his seventh start. Lyles pitched a season-high 7 1/3 innings against Kansas City on Sunday, allowing four runs (two earned) as he walked one with five strikeouts. Take DETROIT! |

Phoenix at Dallas 9:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Suns- This has been a home series all the way and I see no reason to expect anything different here no matter the margin of the previous game. Phoenix has won by 7, 20 and 30 points at home and on the road they have lost by 9 and 10. Chris Paul once again seems lost in the playoffs but teammate Devin Booker has picked up the slack hitting 50% (16-of-32) from 3-point range. 4-9 ATS last 13 games on one days rest and 2-6 ATS as road favorites last eight.

Chicago is expected to win the AL Central and after a slow start they have moved above .500 by winning seven of their last eight. White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease (3-1, 2.38 ERA) is set to face Yankees righty Luis Gil, who makes his season debut.

His mound opponent with be the Rays ace Shane McClanahan (2-2, 3.06) who in two starts against the Angles is 1-0 allowing three runs in 10 innings and six hits with 12 strikeouts.

Milwaukee at Boston 7:00 ET Celtics (-) over Bucks- When I see the 'numbers' that the oddsmakers are laying out in this series it seems to me that they really like Boston. The 'lines' just seem so inviting to tale Milwaukee, after all they do have the best player on the floor. The Celtics are a bit long in the tooth at center with Al Horford but, has found new life and had a career postseason high 30 points in their Game 4 win. It us said that defense travels well and Boston who is #1 on defense points allowing 104.5 PPG as well as being number 1 in FG and 3-Pt FG's % allowed. They showed that by hounding Giannis who still managed 40 points and 18 rebounds but the Celts had too much balance. Take BOSTON! |

Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Suns- Can Chris Paul play any worse...don't answer, but I don't think so. But, even without Paul the Suns are the No.1 team and having Devin Booker to pick up the slack. I the Mavericks Game 4 win they made 20 of 44 long range shots and it's great to play games in a comfortable environment. That where the Suns are tonight but defense travels well and Dallas has the No. 2 ranked defense in the NBA allowing just 104.7 and the Mavs are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games overall.

Miami at Arizona 9:40 ET Marlins over Diamondbacks- The last time Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Madison Bumgarner (1-1, 1.50 ERA) last took the moundhe was ejected after one inning when he was checked for a foreign substance. Arizona has produced 10 victories in its past 13 games, while Miami has dropped eight of its past nine. The Diamondbacks have won each of their first four meetings against Miami this season by one run, including a 4-3 victory on Monday. Bumgarner, 32, owns a 3-4 record and 3.86 ERA in 13 career starts against Miami. The Marlins will counter with promising left-hander Jesus Luzardo (2-2, 3.08), who allowed two runs on three hits over six-plus innings in a 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday.

James harden showed signs of life last time out scoring 31 points while handing out nine assists. Miami of course has the fabulous Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro coming off the bench but the need more scoring balance as Kyle Lowry has been ineffective and is questionable. Most of the trends and money is moving toward the Heat and it's getting too hot for them. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Memphis at Golden State 10:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- It appears that the Grizzlies most dynamic player Ja Morant will be sidelined and the line would soar if he doesn't see action. Memphis has had an incredible season and have played a number of games without Morant and at one time were 21-2 without him. Memphis will have the return of Dillon Brooks to play after a one game suspension for 'breaking the code' and his presence will help pick-up the lack without Morant. Grizzlies are 12-4 ATS after a straight up loss and 16-7-1 in their last 24 games as underdogs. Warrior are 1-4 ATS in last five games as playoff favorites. Take MEMPHIS! |

It just looks too easy! Boston who is in dire need are 5-0-1 in their last six games as road underdogs and aren16-51 ATS in their last 22 road games and Milwaukee is just 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven home games.

Oakland not be be out done has dropped nine straight as they just don't hit. The A's have only two of 12 position players hitting above .225 and after continuous season of quality players leaving the franchise it has taken its toll. Michael Pineda (1-1, 3.77 ERA) will make his fourth start of the season for Detroit. He's 4-1 with a 3.05 ERA in seven career starts against Oakland. Take the TIGERS! |

Miami at Philadelphia 8:00 ET Heat (+) over 76ers- I've gone 3-0 ATS in their series and was all set to come back with the 76ers in Game 4 but with Joel Embiid no longer on the injured list they have been installed as a meager favorite. After winning by 20-points on Friday night holding Miami to their season low 79 points and are now favored by less than a field goal long or short. Even with Embiid less than 100% he has an impact and so does James Harden but, that is a their current Achilles heel. Harden just doesn't seem to be able to cut it anymore and doesn't look anything like the league's former top scorer although he was never a great post season player. Take MIAMI! |

He threw to a 2.64 ERA last season surrendering just 107 hits in 133 innings and I expect a 'bounce-back' performance here. San Diego will send Joe (No-Hit) Musgrove (4-0, 1.97) to the hill and he has been outrageous striking out 33 in 32 innings with just two walks. Still, it's MIAMI! |

Milwaukee is start Aaron Ashby (0-2, 2.33 ERA) who thrown well enough in win allowing more than one run in six appearances and has three game where he didn't allow any runs. Atlanta will send out veteran Charlie Morton (1-3, 6.85) who has been good to 'us' over the years but is on the downside and slipping fast allowing 17 runs and 23 hits in four starts covering 18 innings.

Golden State had one of their worst shooting days in Game Two and still were only defeated (as favorites) by a single point and that bothers me here as it only makes sense that they will shoot better upon return to their home comfort. But, what I see out of the Grizzlies makes me believe they can bring this one down to the final buzzer. Take MEMPHIS! |
