MLB | May 07, 2024 Red Sox vs Braves |
Braves -168 at SC Consensus |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
| At 7:20 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the Boston Red Sox. While the Orioles and Yankees are doing what many people predicted they would do (win games), the Red Sox are somewhat surprisingly holding their own in the AL East so far. It's been Boston's pitching which has gotten the job done, although the hitting came through on Sunday after they plated just four runs the previous three games. They've also been facing mostly sub-par competition and that ends today with a trip to Atlanta. Surprise star RH Kutter Crawford will go to the hill against another surprise in LH Reynaldo Lopez. The 30-year-old Lopez is making Atlanta his fifth MLB stop and so far the trip south is agreeing with him. In five starts covering 30 IP, Lopez is 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. The Sox are struggling against LH pitching this season, hitting just .239 vs. southpaws. And they're 75-107 (minus 11.4 net games) as an underdog. Atlanta, meanwhile, is 206-102 (+32.0 net games) as a favorite, and 11-4, 73%, off 3+ losses. In two starts this season here at Truist Park, Lopez is 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA (1 R in 13 IP) and 0.85 WHIP. Take the Braves. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. | ||

NBA | May 07, 2024 Cavs vs Celtics |
Celtics -10½ -115 at Mirage |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
|
At 7 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Cleveland. While the Cavaliers were stretched to 7 games by the Orlando Magic, the Celtics were resting comfortably following their 4-1 series triumph over Miami. Boston was in championship form, for the most part, in that series, as its wins were by 20, 20, 14 and 34 points. The Celtics were our preseason pick (at 4-1 odds) to win the NBA title, and they've done nothing to disappoint throughout the season. Indeed, over the last 34 seasons, their current scoring margin of 11.58 has only been bettered by two teams at this juncture of an NBA season: the Michael Jordan-led Bulls team which won 72 games, and the Steph Curry-led Warriors team in 2017. Both of those other teams won NBA titles, and I believe the Celts will join them. In this Game 1, we'll lay the points with Boston, as it is 79-45-3 ATS off a 20-point (or greater) home win. And the Cavaliers are 7-20 ATS as road underdogs vs. revenge-minded foes. Take Boston. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
