Why These Picks?
CLE Cavaliers v DET Pistons: The Cavaliers have yet to win a post-season game on the road, and they only managed to cover a spread of +3.0 in one of the three games that they played against the Raptors in Toronto. While I didn’t love how the Pistons handled the first few games of their series against Orlando, they won 3 of their 4 home encounters and every victory they had was by at least 7 points. To boot, Detroit is a much tougher opponent defensively than the Raptors; I’ve gotta roll with the Pistons to bag the first win and cover in this spot.
TEX Rangers v NY Yankees: Jacob deGrom (2.01 ERA) is more than capable, and I don’t like the Rangers’ offense these days nearly enough to think they’ll put 5+ runs on the board against the Yankees. In addition, NY starter Elmer Rodriguez (4.05 ERA) has only had one other outing this season and it was against Texas; the game ended 3-0 for the Rangers. My money’s on a low-scoring affair today, friends.
CHI White Sox v LA Angels: I don’t love either of today’s pitchers, but the White Sox have won 6 of their last 7 meetings with the Angels. To be frank, I’ll keep betting on Chicago in this matchup until it stops paying; and as it so happens, the White Sox hold the advantage on the mound today. I’m on the visitors to bag a win.
