    Analysis:

    Luka was way under in game 1…he barely went over in game 2 (finished with 10 after getting 7 early and flukey). Surprised this didn’t go down to 8.5

    Analysis:

    Take the Dodgers to start fast. Michael King (ex Yankee) is not as good against lefties…and I love Glasnow.

    Conley is simply playing less minutes…..too few to go over this number. He is not the matchup the team wants v Murray….

    Analysis:

    This is simply a plus money play on Joker and the champs having enough alpha pride dog to find a way though this. Off for almost a week they should be rested, better and healthy

    No OG means freed up Siakam. He should thrive

    Clarke Schmidt is my second favorite Clark tonight (after Griswold….obviously). He should thrive, we don’t lose a tie. Isolate 5 innings.

    Analysis:

    No Trout has to be deflating for the Angels….and while KC got into California last night….it was after a day game. Michael Wacha is solid….let’s back KC. Half unit play

    Analysis:

    Clearly Luka is playing at less than 100%…..and as they need him to score and distribute….the place where he might see a stat tumble is in rebounds. Under….. P.S- I wanted to play this under in game 1 but got cold feet. Let’s hope I’m not being stubborn

    Thanks to Alex S. I investigated and loved this prop….over last 20+ games he is below this number 90% of the time! Play it until they move it or we lose

    Analysis:

    I played against Cleveland (and won) in game one. My reasoning was that in a blow out Cleveland would pull up the gear….which is exactly what they did and they stalled at 95. Cleveland missed more shots than expected had the scrubs in for the last five minutes and still almost went over. Let’s flip the script

    Analysis:

    I don’t usually play overs that are juiced….but watch the game. DMitch has the ball CONSTANTLY…bake in that the Celts will throw varied looks at DMitch designed to get him to give up the ball…and he should find a way to 5 assists.

    This is simply a play that Igor won’t give up more than 3…and the Rangers won’t lose this bet via empty net goals.

    Analysis:

    The 6.5s are vanishing…..grab it now. I don’t see Vancouver scoring crazy here…last 5 games they have 1,1,4,2,1 goals. Fade the 7th goal

    Analysis:

    This game looks tempting….then again so does that 4th slice of pizza. Let’s hope this is a better idea. Too much firepower for the better team. I’ll pay to find out if Vancouver is better than advertised.
