Toronto at Milwaukee 4:10 ET Blue Jays over Brewers- Milwaukee's Corbin Burnes (5-4, 2.31 ERA) may be one of the toughest pitchers to hit in baseball but if his clubs doesn't score even he can't win.

Toronto will start disappointing Yusei Kikuchi (2-3, 4.94) who has a WHIP of 1.52 which is not very good as he hasn't posted a win in his last six starts since shutting out Seattle back on May 16.

Curry went 0 of 9. A determined mindset won't be exclusive to the Warriors, of course. Boston heads home keen on extending the series to a Game 7 back on the West Coast. A championship would give Boston an 18th banner to hang in the rafters, which would be the most all-time. They are tied with the Los Angeles Lakers at 17 championships apiece, but they have not won one since 2008. With their backs to the wall the Celtics deliver. Take BOSTON! |

Both these guys will be playing in the All-Star game and tonight you will see why. Free swinging Yankees will be all or nothing and I just don't see it and the Rays just stink on offense.

Boston at Golden State 9:00 ET Celtics (+) over Warriors- Although the series is even at two games apiece I get the feeling that most believe Golden State has a decided edge. An edge maybe but the series is still at 2-2 a slight edge maybe because of home court and Stephen Curry. The Celtics have gone 8-3 on the road in the postseason, outshooting their opponents 38.1 percent to 31.2 percent on 3-pointers. The Warriors have gone 10-1 at home, hitting 40.7 percent of their threes as opposed to 36.3 percent by the visitors. The biggest factor in determining winners and losers in the series has been rebounding. Boston has held the upper hand on the boards 86-70 in its two wins, including 22-18 on the offensive end.

In Game Two we won the 'Under' easily as Tatum once again struggled to score and expect it to happen again.

Since his opening start Sean Manaea (2-3, 4.02 ERA) has been a bit of a disappointment and has surrendered 22 runs in his last six starts covering just 36 innings. Take MILWAUKEE! |

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! |

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! |

Toronto at L.A. Angels 4:04 ET Angels over Blue Jays- Right-hander Jose Berrios (3-2, 4.75 ERA) will make his 10th start of the season for the Blue Jays. He's coming off a no-decision last Monday when he gave up three runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings against St. Louis. Berrios is 2-4 with a 5.67 ERA in six career starts vs. the Angels. 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. In 36 career starts dating to 2019, Sandoval has yet to throw a complete game he might get it here. Take the ANGELS! |

Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (2-1, 3.47) will be on the mound for Toronto on Saturday, his ninth start of the season. He is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in four starts in May although hehas struggled against the Angels in his career, going 1-4 with a 10.92 ERA in seven starts.

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. Take TAMPA BAY! |

Texas at Oakland 9:40 ET Athletics over Rangers- Texas' Martin Perez (3-2, 1.84 ERA) has been exceptional in his last six starts highlighted with his first career complete game shutout of Houston last time out. 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. The A's actually start the day with more wins than the Rangers and increase that margin here. Take OAKLAND! |

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 Miami 8:30 ET Heat (-) over Celtics- I just keep hoping these guys continue to doing what they do and that is taking turns beating each other up. 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! |

He a will be facing the current NL Cy Young Award holder Milwaukee's Corbin Burnes (1-2, 2.26) off his worst outing of the season surrendering four runs to Atlanta, he has 62 K's in 51.2 innings. The Padres are better this season but still beat up on the little guys as they are Padres are 8-17 in their last 25 games vs. teams with winning records.

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! |

Cincinnati at Toronto 3:07 ET Blue Jays (-1.5) over Reds- I love the matchup but this price is too high to lay the money so instead 'we' will lay the run-line. 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.

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.

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 Mavericks' were 3-1 straight-up in the season series and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games at Golden State but the Warriors earned the home-court advantage in the best-of-seven Finals. Home court could be critical this time as well, with Golden State yet to lose in six games on its home floor this postseason.

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. But it looks to me like the oddsmakers have made the No. 2 seed the favorite to win the series and they will start with a win here. Celtics are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 meetings in Miami!

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. This won't be the first time Detmers faces the Rangers this season. In his first meeting, a no-decision on April 15, he was tagged for five earned runs on six hits in 3 1/3 innings. Take TEXAS! |

Houston at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Astros- We are a long way from last year's A.L. Championship Series when these two last met as the Red Sox are currently in the A.L. East basement. 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. The Red Sox are set to give Garrett Whitlock (1-1, 2.19 ERA) another turn in the rotation. He has allowed three runs or fewer over each of his first four career starts. Whitlock has allowed one earned run in just 2 2/3 career innings (two appearances) against Houston. Take BOSTON! |

Horford played the role of the difference-maker in that one, hitting 13 of 17 shots on a 26-point night. On Friday Horford had two pints after a career high 30 the previous game. Defense and pressure are keys to Boston's No. 1 ranked defense as the Bucks have shot 32.3 percent on 3-pointers in their wins, but just 25.7 percent in their losses. Jrue Holiday has defined the disparity, going 10 of 22 from deep in the wins, 5 of 22 in the losses. Celtics are 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings including 6-2 ATS at home. Take BOSTON! |

Left-hander Nestor Cortes (1-1, 1.41 ERA) will get the call for the Yankees. Cortes is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in two career appearances against the White Sox, including one start, with 14 strikeouts in 11 innings. He took a no-decision Monday in a home start against the Texas Rangers, pitching 7 1/3 innings of one-hit ball with four walks and 11 strikeouts.

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.

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).

Scoring runs doesn't seem like an issue now as the Brewers belted six home runs yesterday and is 8-1 in their last nine and 17-5 the best record in MLB during this span. Lefty Eric Lauer (2-0, 1.93 ERA) takes the hill for the Brew Crew and he has had back-to-back starts with double-digit strikeouts. The Braves have scored three runs or fewer 15 times already this season and lead the Big League's in strikeouts with 250. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Miami at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Heat- The Heat is on! Miami is on a roll once against as the media and public keep underestimating them. As a 'Money Game' winner with them in the first two games I like the feel of playing against them and with the 0-2 team that most likely will return Joel Embiid. But, with or without him the 76ers are the side here. And of all people I wouldn't be surprised if James Harden actually shoots well and paces the Sixers. It is now or never...Take PHILADELPHIA! |

New York Mets at Philadelphia 6:45 ET Phillies over Mets- I tried this last Friday (betting Philly and Nola against the Mets) and Aaron Nola (1-3, 3.90 ERA) struck out nine but New York used five different pitchers and no-hit Philadelphia. The Mets are 3-3 since and will start Taijuan Walker (0-0.0.00) who has allow just two hits in seven inning work. I expect the Mets to control the East but this is a spot the Phillies look to atone for their hitless performance last Friday. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Mavericks ()+) over Suns- Having used Phoenix as a Megabucks winner in Game 1 of this series I have no problem backing the Dallas here as I've been weary of them since they sent Porzingis packing. The Mavericks started the Utah series with Luca Doncic nursing an injury and have shown the defense travels well as they are ranked No. 2 allowing only 104.7. Without Porzingis whose heart was questioned their defense has risen to where they can win anytime with Luca carrying the offensive load. Although the Suns have dominated this series the Mavs are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 as road underdogs. Take DALLAS! |

New York Yankees at Toronto 7:05 ET Yankees over Blue Jays- One of the most profitable way of betting baseball is to play streaks both winning and losing on and against. Right now I don't think it matter who the Yankees are playing the believe that they will win and they have 11 straight times. I'm sure there will be plenty of Toronto action not believing the could be swept at home. New York will start Nestor Cortes (1-0, 1.31 ERA) who is the Bronx Bombers modern version of Whitey Ford as he has 28 K's and just three base-on-balls in 21 innings. Take NEW YORK YANKEES! |

San Francisco at Los Angeles 10:10ET Giants over Dodgers- Do you remember that the Giants won 107 games last season and the Dodgers 106 and both team are actually better (on paper) this season and one of the bigger acquisitions was made by San Francisco. Coming over from the White Sox where he was 13-5 with a 2.37 ERA last season Carlos Rodon is 3-0 with a 1.17 ERA in four starts and has 38 K's in just 23 innings. Julio Urias, who will take the mound for the Dodgers allowed one run over six innings at Arizona on Wednesday. Urias (1-1, 2.50) has faced the Giants 20 times (14 starts) and is 2-3 with a 2.61 ERA. In what started as baseball's most intense rivalry in New York over 100 years ago still carries a fierce attitude when against each other. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Milwaukee at Boston 7:00 ET The Bucks played Game 1 in this series they way they closed out their Championship last year as they were just too physical for the Celtics. Even with Khris Middleton out the Milwaukees big bodies just were causing problems for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown who struggled for open looks. Giannis is unstoppable and Boston's Marcus Smart sustained an injury in Game 1 has his effectiveness should be questioned. The Celtics look like they don't have a chance so I have to have them.

Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Suns (-) over Mavericks- Both teams overcame the absence of their young superstars in tough first-round matchups. The Mavericks ousted the Utah Jazz, and the Suns survived the eighth-seeded New Orleans Pelicans, both winning in six games. But Dallas was without Luca Doncic and Phoenix was missing Devin Booker for three of the six contests. The Suns swept the season series 3-0 from the Mavericks, with two wins coming by eight points and the third by seven. Two of the games were in Phoenix, a November back-to-back that Doncic missed with a sprained left knee and ankle.The Suns are 21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings including 7-3 ATS as hosts.

Atlanta at New York Mets 7:10 ET Braves over Mets- There appears to be a 'new order' in the NL East as the Mets have taken the lead and look like the team to beat. The new-look Braves -- with Matt Olson manning first base instead of stalwart Freddie Freeman, who hit .293 with nine homers and 50 RBIs in 99 games at Citi Field -- will meet the Mets fresh off an opening month in which New York showed it is a much different team than a year ago.Left-hander Max Fried (2-2, 3.00 ERA) is scheduled to start for Atlanta against New York right-hander Chris Bassitt (3-1, 2.25 ERA). Both Fried and Bassitt earned the wins in their most recent starts on Tuesday, when Fried allowed one run over six innings as the Braves beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 and Bassitt tossed six scoreless innings in the Mets' 3-0 victory over the Cardinals. Fried is 4-3 with a 2.78 ERA in 16 career games (11 starts) against the Mets. Bassitt has never faced the Braves. Take ATLANTA! |

Golden State the No. 3 seed took out Denver in five games and are at their strongest point physically with a healthy Draymond Green and Klay Thompson getting up to speed averaging 22.6 points in the playoffs. Meanwhile the Grizzlies are 8-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records and 5-1 as home underdogs and 4-1 against the Warriors in the last five meetings in Bluff City. Take MEMPHIS! |

The White Sox will throw left-hander Dallas Keuchel (1-2, 9.00 ERA) against Angels right-hander Michael Lorenzen (2-1, 2.93) on Sunday.

Atlanta will start Bryce Elder (1-2, 4.30 ERA) who has surrendered 11 walks in his last two starts and will be opposed by Dane Dunning (0-1, 4.91) who has 15 strikeouts in his last 10 innings of work.

After blowing a 26-point lead in Game 3 the Timberwolves have rebounded with a pair of ATS wins eking out a 119-118 win at home and losing at the buzzer in Memphis 111-109.

Tylor Megill (3-0, 2.35 ERA) has allowed just 13 hits in 16.1 innings while striking out 15 and walking only two. Philadelphia behind hot hitting Bryce Harper and has won their last four sweeping Colorado at home. The Phillies Aaron Nola (1-2, 3.74) is off his best outing of the season allowing just one hit in seven innings against the Brewers and has allowed only 14 hits in 22 innings this season.

Dallas at Utah 10:00 ET Jazz (+) over Mavericks- Mavericks star Luka Doncic has been dominant since returning from a calf injury that sidelined him for the first three games. The way Dallas has played for most of this series will require a very large bounce-back by Utah. Meanwhile, the Jazz have been about 'givin' up for dead' after the way Dallas has run through them in this series leading 3-1 and 4-0 ATS. Utah's most explosive scorer, Donovan Mitchell, declared himself ready to play Thursday night amid a leg injury. The Jazz are off the worst 3-point shooting game (3-30) in NBA Playoff history and they look to atone here. Take UTAH! |

Undermanned Chicago will be without All-Star Zach LaVine who entered the NBA safety protocol on Tuesday and Alex Caruso is in the league's concussion protocol after getting whacked in the face on Saturday.

Houston at Texas 8:05 ET Rangers over Astros- Both of these Texas clubs have gone through some off-season changes as they made major player personnel moves revolving around their shortstops. The Rangers signed Corey Seager to play the keystone position in Arlington while Houston has suffered the unfortunate loss of Carlos Correa in Free Agency to Minnesota. The changes have hurt the Astros who are 7-8 while Texas hasn't been able to take advantage of their new infield combination (Semien) and are just 5-10 on the season. The Astros have dropped five of their last six and will start Jake Odorizzi (0-2, 9.00 ERA) who has more walks (seven) than strikeouts (five) and his mound opponent will be Taylor Hearn (0-1, 7.59) who is 2-0 with a 1.53 ERA in seven career appearances against Houston.

But, of course the Key to the Heat's success now is Jimmy Butler who posted 36 points in Sunday's win while Atlanta top scorer Trae Young had just nine points after scoring just eight points in Game 1 of this series. The Hawks are 6-1 ATS following a SU loss and are desperate trailing 3-1 and facing elimination. Take ATLANTA! |

Utah at Dallas 9:30 ET Jazz (+) over Mavericks- An unusual twist has happened in this series as the impact of Dallas's Luka Doncic presence is huge. In all four previous games Utah has been the favorite including the first two in Dallas when Doncic was out. Upon his return in Game 4 at Utah the Mavs held a 4-point lead with 30 seconds remaining only to be bested by a lay-in at the buzzer. The 'price' seems short with Luca's return and maybe it's because Dallas is 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven playoff games. Take UTAH! |

Boston will start right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (1-0. 3.68 ERA) in the opener against right-hander Jose Berrios (1-0, 6.35). Eovaldi allowed one run in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday against Toronto and did not factor in the decision. He gave up seven hits and one walk while striking out six in the game won 2-1 by Boston. In 10 career games (nine starts), Eovaldi is 1-2 with a 4.33 ERA against Toronto. Eovaldi has not allowed more than two walks in 22 straight regular-season starts to match his career best. Berrios earned the win on Wednesday at Boston when he allowed one run, eight hits and one walk while striking out six in six innings. Toronto won 6-1.

The Suns are the number 1 seed and they were the best all season and they have had the better of it in the series but the Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in their last seven hames after a straight up loss and the Suns are 2-6 ATS as playoff favorites.

St. Louis at Cincinnati 4:10 ET Reds over Cardinals- Every year there is a team that just can't win and the public plays 'against' them all season and can show a tidy profit, but me, nah, that's too easy and usually you have to lay heavy wood. Cincinnati appears to be that team and sometimes not all that often they become a 'play' despite the past performances. The Reds have two wins in 13 games and one of those victories went to Tyler Mahle (1-1, 7.82 ERA)and he has had two straight poor outings and after going 13-6 with a 3.75 ERA in 2021 I expect a return to form.

They seemed to have picked up their step since CJ McCollum arrived and believe that they can compete with anybody in the league. The Suns are the best team in the NBA but have a history of falling short when more is expected from them and with Chris Paul around you well, are waiting for the shoe to drop.

The Twins will start Bailey Ober (1-1, 3.27 ERA) and he is off his first win of the year allowing just unearned two runs.
