Why These Picks?

‍

MIN Timberwolves v DEN Nuggets: The Nuggets have put at least 123 points on the board in 4 of their last 5 meetings with Minnesota, and 127+ on the board in their last 6 straight outings. On the other side, the Timberwolves have managed 120+ points in their last 4 straight games. This will undoubtedly be the highest scoring matchup of the day in my opinion; especially if Anthony Edwards decides to suit up (at time of writing, he’s listed as ‘Questionable’). My money’s on the Over to hit this afternoon, but I'll also toss a sprinkle on the Nuggets Team Total; the Denver offense is lethal at home.

‍

ATL Braves v PHI Phillies: The Phillies have been brutal offensively, friends. Philadelphia has scored a mere 6 runs across their last 4 games and have lost 7 of their last 10; I’m not in a rush to toss money on their batting lineup against a pitcher as capable as Chris Sale. While Cristopher Sanchez is a solid arm, I just don’t think he’ll have run support needed for Philly to lock down a win. I’m on Atlanta for plus money today.

‍

SD Padres v LA Angels: A big total, but both of today’s starters have been ridiculously hittable (lol). Yusei Kikuchi comes into this matchup with a staggering 7.50 ERA, while Padres pitcher German Marquez comes in with an ERA of 5.54. with Los Angeles having bagged a ridiculous 30 runs over their last 4 games, I’m on the Over to cash.
