    Analysis:

    Logan webb must get an out in the 7th. I don’t see it. Under.

    11-8 in Last 19 NBA Player Props Picks
    Analysis:

    The Thunder have given up on Josh Giddey. That means Holmgren draws Daniel Gafford. Accordingly, Chet will move away from the basket and facilitate, giving him the assists we need to go over. He had 5 potential assists last game. Pair it with rebounds

    Analysis:

    The pace of this series has been slow. And SGA has projected under the points he has scored on amazing mid range shooting. Let’s play regression here. Under.

    Analysis:

    This game could be played in bad weather….and ultimately be a bullpen game. Stroman is overrated, but the starters might not last long. Take the Yanks bullpen at plus money. Half unit

    Pick Made: Wed 10:49 pm UTC

    11-8 in Last 19 NBA Player Props Picks
    Analysis:

    Tatum will have to stretch to get here. He is under 67% of the time. Add in the fact I do not expect heavy minutes, plus this is a low total for Boston and I’ll go under. Love getting plus money

    @ Seattle

    Analysis:

    Yep Seattle strikes out a lot. But it seems to be an outlier that should correct a bit. Wacha will need a good start to get to six

    Analysis:

    I’m not convinced JLeiter is ready….seems like he is more name than game at this point. Plus, the Clev bullpen is the difference. Take a plus money play.

    Analysis:

    Carlos Rodon gives the Yanks the edge in this spot. Yanks have been swinging the bats well….and most books are already over -140. Grab the value

    Analysis:

    Both SP are less than impressive, and it should be a warm night in Boston. Small play but let’s go over.

    Analysis:

    I simply don’t see either team scoring 4 goals. Sure, there is always a chance for an empty netter (or two….or three) but I’ll basically play against that. Love the first period under as we have been CRUSHING that bet in the Eastern conference

    L.A. Dodgers

    @ San Francisco

    Analysis:

    The Dodgers should get to put their top guys up 3x in 5 innings….and Jordan Hicks is vulnerable. Plus, Yamamoto is really really hot but his projected numbers suggest slight regression.

    @ Seattle

    Analysis:

    The Royals, Phillies and Orioles are my favorite teams to bet on….and KC should keep this close early. We win a tie after 5. Small play.

    Analysis:

    Including the playoffs, Colorado is 33-11 at home. They need. They have McKinnon. This seems like a seven gamer.

    Chet usage will be enough to justify and go over this prop. Half unit play

    Analysis:

    Dallas is playing even slower….and they are now a dead under team. 109 will require above metric shooting. Under.
