Look for the SD Padres to snap their 3-game losing streak and avoid the 4-game sweep with starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi. He set a career high with seven innings his last time out, and he was the first Padres starter to pitch into the seventh inning this year. Lucchesi's has pitched well especially at home. This is a pitchers ballpark and we have a major edge here with Lucchesi over Mahle.

The Warriors righted the ship in Game 3 after that epic Game 2 collapse, but now the Clippers have the opportunity to bounce back. Doc Rivers is one of the game's top coaches and the Clippers have been the No. 6 team against the spread in the NBA. They have a balance of young players and shooters and also playing at home this afternoon. It's too many points and I like the LA CLippers here on Sunday.

These 2 teams have alternated wins in this series and I look for the Bruins to even up the series on Sunday. Boston was sloppy in their last game with turnovers and missed Power Play opportunities.
They'll get the win here on road in game 6.

Can you tell me who is still left in the Yankees lineup? Aaron Judge joined Greg Bird, Gary Sanchez, Miguel Andujar, DD, Troy Tulowitzki and Giancarlo Stanton on the IL and I just don't know who is left in there to scare pitchers. Jorge Lopez has some good stuff and had 10 strikeouts in his last outing against the White Sox. Yanks starter James Paxton is 2-2 with a 3.91 ERA. He's got 31 strikeouts to just seven walks in 23 innings. The southpaw held the Royals to two runs and eight hits in 14 innings in 2018. KC is hitting just .209 against left-handed starters and have gone under in the majority of their road games. New York's bullpen should be able to lock down a late lead so I think the UNDER is a very solid play here.

Utah is the desperate team and will play better on defense and offense here at home.
Down 2-0, the Jazz need to win tonight. Neither of the first two games has been close, and the oddsmakers still made the Jazz -2.

Take UTAH tonight with their backs against the wall.

I look for this game to go OVER THE POSTED TOTAL on Saturday night!

The Phils Nola has a 7.45 ERA. The Rockies go with Rookie Antonio Senzatela who down the Padres for 6 2/3 innings Monday but now pitching in Coor Field and I expect both of these starters to get hit hard here in this one. Take the HIGH and go over 10.5 runs as the bats break out tonight.

A rare loss for TB at home last night.
The Rays Morton 12-5 last seventeen team starts during April, including 8-3 at home. While on the flip-side the Red Sox: Porcello has a 11.11 ERA with 3.00 WHIP this season, including 10 Ks with 12 BBs last three starts. I look for TB to bounce back here at home.

King Felix through 4 shut out innings last start look for him to go deep today and get the Angels back into the win column and back to .500. The Angels are 4-0 in their last 4 home games vs. a left-handed starter while the Mariners are overvalued because of their strong start to the season.
Take the LA ANGELS here with King Felix facing his old team.

Calgary will pull out all the stops tonight to try and extend this series. Mike Smith has been awesome in goal for the Flames Look for Calgary to come out strong early and to be playing from ahead tonight, so the first period is going to be critical for them. Take the Flames.

My money is on the Thunder to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Blazers tonight as their season is on the line. They played very poorly at Portland and I look for Paul George and Westbrook to turn it up tonight.


. This is do-or-die for OKC after dropping each of the first two games of the series at Portland. The Thunder have had plenty of time to re-focus after their miserable performances in Portland. They're 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games playing on two days' rest. Playing at home with their season on the line, look for OKC's to get a huge win tonight behind their defense!
