The A's team has only scored just 1 run the last 2 games. The A's have consistently gotten up to face Hernandez and this isn't the King Felix of the past. He has given up 21 hits in about 17 innings, including 13 runs and 9 walks. Essentially, he has given up about 30 baserunners in about 17 innings of work. We are backing the Oakland A's here at home this afternoon.

The Celtics have gone 9-0 at home in these playoffs and won 10 in a row at home dating back to the regular season. For the year, they are 36-14 at home, a .720 winning percentage. In games 1 and 2 at home the Celtics shot 44 and 50% from the field. In their road games they shot 39 and 41%. Boston is a very young team and I expect them to rebound with a big performance here at home. They missed several layups and easy shots on Monday night.
Look for Horford, Tatum, Rozier and Brown to step up their games tonight and give a balanced attack as the Celtics pull it out in the 4th Q.

Look for the Cubs to bounce back at home tonight. They were 0-10 with runners in scoring position in last night's ball game despite tallying 10 hits in the game. We expect a full bounce back performance from a lineup that is in the top-8 in runs, hits, average, OBP, SLG and OPS.

The Cubs will send Jon Lester to the mound and he will be looking to extract some revenge. Last time out against the Indians, he gave up just 4 hits, but ended up on the losing end of a 4-1 game. The Cubs have been dominant of late at home in inter-league play. They have won 6 of 8 inter-league home games and are 5-0 when their opponent scores 5 or more runs in the previous game. Take the CUBBIES tonight.

The Rockets had a regular season record of 65-17. They were 1st in the Western Conference and too good of a team not to bounce back here.
They played awful on Sunday and lost by 41 pts the worst ever by a #1 seed in the playoffs. THey only shot 39% and had 20 turnovers which was their worst of the playoffs. Harden didn't get to the FT line much either in that game.


Golden St will most likely be without Andre Iguodala as he is injured and doubtful for this game.
Too many points here as everything points for the Houston Rockets to bounce back and +9 pts looks awfully tasty here.
Play the ROCKETS plus the points on Tuesday night.

The LA Angles are very happy to hit the road after a 4-7 homestand but they did win their get-away game giving them a boost. The Angels are a stellar 14-4 on the road including 4-1 vs lefties. The LAA have won 6 of Richards L/9 starts and while he lost his last start it was 2-0 as he allowed only 4 H in 7 IP. Happ has a 5.40 ERA at home and we’ll look to fade his as he is off his best start of the season pitching 7 IP of 2 hit ball. Toronto only 1-8 as as home dog this season as well.
Take the LA ANGELS here on Tuesday night.

Cleveland is shooting the ball very well right now and is playing with a ton of confidence when on their home floor. The Cavaliers have shot at least 46.2% from the field in 5 of their last 6 games. I expect the Celtics to shoot better this game as well.
Boston only shot 39% on Saturday and had a bad 1st quarter putting up just 17 points and I look for a higher scoring game here and for the total score to go OVER THE TOTAL on Monday night.

This will be the fourth time the Braves' lineup will be facing Nick Pivetta this season -- it's batted .296 and scored eight runs over 14 innings.
They are an underdog tonight and I like them in this spot.
BRaves starter Mike Foltynewicz was electric his last time out, striking out 10 Cubs. He's faced the Phils twice this season with more success than Pivetta (11 innings, three runs), and will match up against a Philly offense in a slump, batting .211 during last week. Atlanta has the best road record in the NL and we are on ATLANTA here on Monday night.

Carlos Coming off a 14-strikeout gem, Carrasco allowed three runs on six hits in 6 2/3 with four punchouts Monday in Detroit. The righty is 2-0 with 22 strikeouts, two walks and no runs allowed in 15 1/3 career innings (two starts) in Houston. He loves pitching here and is primed for an ESPN Sunday night game.

I;m on the Cleveland Indians in this one.

The Warriors showed that they're the better team over the first two games of the series. The Rockets needed PJ Tucker and Eric Gordon to combine for 11-17 from deep to win Game 2, while the entire Warriors team struggled. Steph Curry isn't going to shoot 1-8 from three again and Klay only had 8 pts. HC Steve Kerr ripped the team saying they had no energy and hustle so look for some fire here on Sunday at home.
Also, NBA Playoff teams who are favored by 5 or more at home and coming off a double digit loss are 35-13 (73%)ATS over the years.
Take GOLDEN ST to bounce back big on Sunday night.

Look for the Cavs to come out strong here on Saturday night. LeBron and company is down 0-2 and they have played poorly on the road. They haven't shot well from the perimeter and they have been turning the ball over a lot.
Look for LeBron James to get some help and the Cavs bench to play better on their home court here on Saturday and win by double digits.
Take the Cleveland Cavs to catch their stride here at home and get the win and cover.
