Why These Picks?

SA Spurs v OKC Thunder: A bit of a surprise to me, but the Thunder have actually lost 5 of their last 6 games against San Antonio. And while I know that OKC fairs far better at home than anywhere else, the Spurs haven’t lost a single game in the post-season by more than 6 points. I’m on the visitors to cover this evening and I've got a sprinkle on the Under, friends.

CIN Reds v PHI Phillies: I don’t like either of today’s starters. Both of Nick Lodolo’s (8.68 ERA) starts this season have seen an obscene number of runs, and Andrew Painter has yet to bring home a win for the Phillies. This game should be a total shoot out – I’m on the Over to hit.

MTL Canadiens v BUF Sabres: I know this is a do or die game, but 5 of the 6 post-season encounters between these squads have seen at least 6 goals. That’s an overwhelming statistic for any series – I’m on the Over to cash yet again here.
