Seattles starter George Kirby enters this game in top form. He has allowed two runs or less in four of his last five starts after a slow start to his season and after a short injury. With the Pirates  averaging less than 3.1 runs per game on the road which ranks  last in the  National League, Im betting Kirby holds fort again and limits Bucks run production to a minimum.  Meanwhile, the Pirates respond with emerging star pitcher Paul Skenes who has garnered a stingy 2.03 ERA, allowing an average of  just 5.8 hits and 0.4 home runs per nine innings, which ranks No.1 among  starting pitchers in the National League.   .

I was solidly behind a lower scoring game last time out. It started fast than slowed down as the game went into the 2nd half. Alot of trends support a lower scoring game, and the lines makers have now lowered the total offering by almost 4 points and rightly so. Im betting the Thunder ride the momentum of thier last win in game 4 in Indiana and really bring out their guns and put the metal to the metal from start to finish and force the Pacers in speeding up their attack or be blown off the court which the lines makers are expecting. NBA Road teams where the total is 220 to 229.5 - in non-conference games, well rested team - playing only their 2nd game in 5 days are 207-139 OVER for a 60% conversion rate with a combined average 228.7 ppg scored dating back to 1997.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers return fire with righty Dustin May , who despite pitching decently at home is set for negative regression as his overall, metrics show me in power ranking charts. Note: SF ha allowed 37 runs in their L/5 games overall 7.4 rpg and allowed 11 last night and could easily get lit up again, with the Dodgers  eclipsing this totals offering all by themselves.

Hamilton's defense is once again looking porous, just like they have been the last couple of seasons.  . Dating back to last year, the Tiger-Cats have gone over in  14 of 19 games and  in nine of their L/11 tilts.With that bad defense comes a top gun QB that can thread the needle consistently. This kind of action leads to high scoring affairs more often than not. Hamilton lost 38-26 last week, to Calgary and here against a Saskatchewan side, the scored 31 points while allowing 26 in a win last week vs Ottawa. Im betting on more fireworks today as Riders  RBS and top tier receivers should shine  in what should be a back and forth affair. Riders have gone over in 19 of their L30. Saskatchewan games in games where the line is +3 to -3.are 15-3 to the over since 2023 with.a combined average of 54.3 ppg.

Indiana has been able to slow down the Thunders offense, and Im betting that continues tonight.

On the flip-side  Rays starter Ryan Pepiot  4.24 xERA) is vulnerable to being beaten up on by a Bosox team he does not matchup well against as  allowed six earned runs on nine hits in six innings in his last start vs the Red Sox.Im betting these pitchers struggle in hitter friendly Fenway. 

Both these teams offenses are in top form, The Rays’ offense is in explosion mode (121 wRC+ over the past couple of  weeks), and the Red Sox own a  (112 wRC+) during the same period.

After a frantic close win last time out vs Golden State I betting the Mercury will be in a letdown scenario and could easily come out with a lethargic effort that will effect this score towards the under and still playing without Alyssa Thomas their cohesiveness on offense will be tested by the Storm. Seattle as a favorite and Phoenix as an rdog have gone 8-1-1 to the Under this season so far.

Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May is not in top form as is evident by a  (4.20 ERA, 4.44 xERA). Meanwhile, Mets send  Paul Blackburn to the  hill. He will  make his 2025 debut after knee inflammation held him out for April and May. He had some rehab starts, but here against an explosive Dodgers offense he may be in a for a short stint. Thats not a good omen for holding off the Dodgers offense since the Mets , own a bottom-five bullpen against left-handed hitters like theDodgers  (i Ohtani, Freeman, Muncy)  as was evident in May (5.26 xFIP, 6.4% K-BB).

Indiana had a bad offensive outing in Game 5 of this series, and subsequently lost to bring in a Game 6  situation that could see them advance to the NBA Finals.

The Pacers took both games in NYK and now down 2-0 the Knicks are going to have to be more aggressive and leave everything on the court and up their pace. That Im betting translates into a higher scoring affair that eclipses this offered total. Im betting on most of NYK best players to be in action for most of this game, and for Brunson who has had his way offensively to play alot of minutes here.Brunson played only 39 minutes in the last game and Im betting on those min increasing in this key tilt.  It must be noted that the Pacers have averaged 119.5 ppg  of offense in the play offs and the Knicks after trying to play more D and slow their tempo down through the early part of these play offs have now been forced into action in their L/5 overall games  have scored an average of 117.2 ppg on offense while allowing an average of 114.6 ppg on D.

late update - total- under 

N YK outplayed Indiana for almost four quarters in game 1 of this series but their defense let them down late, and they blew a DD lead. Im betting here in the rebound game , the Knicks come out bombing away again and just keep the peddle to the metal from start to finish with no let up .On the flip-side Im also betting  Indiana to also step up their offense and continue to bring offensive heat with the momentum of their comeback last time out. (Brunson seems to be a weak point of the Knicks on D, and HC Carlisle game plan will continue to push him) The Knicks offense has been exceptional for most of this season, and their built to score in bunches, ranking 9th in ppg offense and 5th in offensive rating. Meanwhile, Indiana ranked 7th in offense entering this game, and 17th in D ppg, and are and will remain vulnerable defenders despite of some glimpses of strong defensive play in their earlier rounds of these play offs. The linesmakers have pushed up the totals offering  from game 1, but rightfully so.Indiana away or neutral games after one or more consecutive overs. are 20-6 OVER this season with those games seeing a combined average of 238.9 ppg.

The Thunder are suddenly hitting on all cylinders offensively and that bad news for a Minnesota side that wants to slow things down and be physical. Unfortunately for the Wolves, the Thunder just dealt with that kind of slow paced action and prevailed thanks to some adjustments and now Im betting will continue to find ways to open up play and force their opponents to open up as well as the Thunder will force turnovers . Note: Oklahoma City owned  second-best transition offense (121.1 points per 100 possessions) in the league and since the post season began the Thunder’s opposition are averaging 18.3 turnovers per game and Im betting nothing changes tonight. Minnesota did not make shots in game 1 shooting just 29.3% from the land of the trey, but Im expecting some positive offensive regression, and a Im also projecting that the Thunder continue to matchup well offensively and that we see a higher scoring affair that eclipses this total. This number is low according to my projections. Oklahoma City home games after having won 3 of their last 4 games are 15-3 OVER with a combined average of 236.2 ppg scored.

The Pacers have more depth than the Knicks and thats why Im betting they push the pace here in an attempt to exhaust NYK. (Indiana has nine players playing at least 13 minutes per game in the playoffs) I know the Pacers have slowed their game down since the start of the post season, but knowing the Knicks also want to slow things down and stick to what got them by the Celtics, the Pacers opus operandi will be to force a track meet.  With that said, Im expecting a fairly high scoring game between two teams that can really light up the board when pushed in to action.

The southpaw pitcher was 2-1 with a 2.97 ERA in nine games (five starts) from Triple-A Sugar Land this year. The University of Delaware product was once considered a top-100 prospect and must not be under estimated in his abilities.   He has a 60% GB %  which will help keep the ball in the park  vs a TB that has one kf the lowest fly ball rates in the league.

Meanwhile, rookie left-hander Colton Gordon  will make his second career start after allowing three runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings in a 4-3 Houston victory over Kansas City on Wednesday. Both bullpens are solid, and both sides have seen their offenses hybrinate for long stretches this season, and here tonight my projections estimate a score that fails to eclipse this total.

Leading on the last game, Denver made the mistake of speeding up play and the thunder made them pay with a late run, that kind of mistake wont be made twice in a row by this experienced veteran post side group.  This Im betting leads to a lower scoring affair. Ten of the last 14  Game Sixes that have been played the last four playoff seasons have gone Under the total for a 72% conversion rate.

  The Astros and game 1 of this series will go  with righty Hunter Brown (6-1, 1.48 ERA) and the Rangers go with another  righty Jacob deGrom (3-1, 2.72 ERA).deGrom is 2-1 with a 1.88 ERA at home.Im betting on a pitchers duel between two quality pitchers. Texas games at home with a money line of -100 to -150 are 9-0 UNDER this season.Texas games vs. a starting pitcher whose gives up 5.5 or less hits/start. are 14-3 under L/17 opportunities with a combined average of 5.5 rpg scored.

The Warriors down in this series, are going to be much more aggressive offensively with elimination on the table. Im also  betting the Wolves will reciprocate with some faster paced action as this game progresses as they look to finish off their opponents.

Historically, double-digit underdogs like the Warriors  facing a 3-1 deficit in the playoffs with a total of 202.5 or less points are 9-3 OVER overall and on a current 7-0 OVER run! 

NBA team - after going over the total by more than 18 points in their previous game against opponent after going over the total by more than 24 points in their previous game are 671-497 OVER since 1997 for a 58% conversion rate with the average combined score clicking in at 209.9 ppg.

Seattles starting pitcher Mariners  Emerson Hancock has  allowed three runs or less in his L/4 four  starts.  When and if he falters he is backed by a Mariners bullpen thant ranks 10th in MLB with a  3.54 ERA. Meanwhile, Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt has recorded a  4.79 ERA in his campaign so far this season, but positive regression according to my numbers should be expected  . He’s backed by a bullpen ranked 13th in ERA at 3.63.

MLB Home teams where the total is 8.5 to 10 - on a good fielding streak, 15 straight games with one or less errors, with a tired bullpen - after 3 straight games throwing 4+ innings are 168-93 UNDER since 1997 for a 64% conversion rate for betting backers.

Rays starter Rasmussen (1-3, 3.09 ERA). Rasmussen  has faltered a bit in his  last three starts, allowing 10 runs and 16 hits in 14 1/3 innings. But he is a capable starter and in  his first four starts of this campaign, he recorded a  0.87 ERA while giving up just two runs on 12 hits in 20 2/3 innings. Meanwhile, Right-hander Chad Patrick (2-3, 3.08) will get the nod for Milwaukee to face Tampa Bay for the first time in his career which gives him an edge in the familiarity department. The Brewers bats are also very cold right now . Overall Im betting on this game total failing to be eclipsed.  

Tampa Bay games against NL Central opponents are 17-3 UNDER L/20 with combined average score of 6.45 rpg scored. Tampa Bay games after 3 consecutive games versus an interleague opponent have gone under 10 of the L/11 times with a combined average of 6.5 rpg scored.

After blowing big leads in back to back games at home, the Celtics find themselves down 2-0 in this play off series. This afternoon  Im betting the Celtics come out gunning and running in start to finish fashion, and that Im betting forces the capable Knicks offense to open up in a game Im betting goes over this total. NBA teams where the total is 200 to 209.5 - after going under the total by 18 or more points total in their last three games, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) are 25-5 OVER since 2021 with a combined average of 216.6 ppg scored.

   A’s starter Jeffrey Springs,  has recorded a hefty 4.98 ERA this season and Im betting his ERA does not get much better here vs a Mariners offense that  is  averaging just under 5.7 runs per game. On the flipside , Seattles starting pitcher  Emerson Hancock has recorded a ugly  6.62 ERA with 1.5 home runs per nine innings . Here against a  Athletics batting order  that ranks eighth in the league in home runs per at-bat life should remain miserable on the mound for him. 

The Athletics have hit the Team Total Over in 5 of their last 7 games at home (+2.65 Units / 32% ROI)The Seattle Mariners have only hit the Game Total Under in just 3 of their last 31 games (-11.70 Units / -34% ROI)

The Braves offense after a slow start is now ranked 10th MLB  in wRC+ over the past two weeks as they have upped their attack  ferociously and have  along with that cut down on the strikeouts ( 16.9% ) for a  .154 Isolated Power ratio . 

Atlanta  now ranks in the top 10 MLB lineups in xBA and hard-hit rate.

They go against the Dodgers starting pitcher Justin May who has seen his last two starts see scores of 7-6,  11-10. 

On the flipside the Dodgers continue to hit well producing an average of 5.42 rpg and matchup well according to my power rankings vs Elders (5.33 ERA). 

LA Dodgers games when playing against a sub par team (Win Pct. 38% to 46%) are 8-1 over this season with a combined average of 12.1 rpg.

The Dodgers won 10-3 yesterday and Im betting their bats shine again, but this time around the Braves Im betting produce at the same or close to the same level.

As we get into the meaty part of the post season, beginning with the 2nd round, teams begin to play a more physical type of game. Im not saying these two offensive juggernauts will not do some scoring Im saying the the totals numbers  the lines-makers produce  are a bit off because of the added toughness teams exhibit at this juncture of the campaign. Note 2nd round totals of 220.5 or more since  2018,  have gone  36-17-1 under for a 70% conversion rate  including 13-0 when 227.5 or higher.

The Cardinals starter  Fedde went 0-5 five April starts while recording  a 5.40 ERA in those games, allowing 16 earned runs in 26.2 innings of sub par pitching. He's big time fade material in his current form,  Meanwhile, NY Mets will see their starting pitcher Blade Tidwell make his  MLB debut. In the  minor leagues he posted a bloated 5.00 ERA this season and Im betting he gets lit up early and often today in a tilt that Im betting eclipses this totals offering. Key Trend:Saint Louis games after 2 straight games where they stranded 5 or less runners on base are 7-0 OVER since last season with a combined 13.3 rpg scored.

On May 4th at Busch Stadium, expect cool conditions with temps around 56°F. Humidity at 58.5% shouldn't heavily impact performance, and with no precipitation, the game will be unaffected by rain.

Down 29 points last time out going into the 4th quarter, Golden state rested all 5 strarters. Warriors' starters played more than 26 minutes in the loss. Now rested Im betting the Warriors come out with all guns blazing and will force the young strong legs of the youthful Rockets to have to step up with some run and gun offensive fireworks of their own or be blown off the court. After a slow start to this series, the last two games have shown a little more tempo and that Im betting will aid in this totals offering being eclipsed. Houston games after covering 3 of their last 4 against the spread are 28-8 OVER with a combined average of 232.2 ppg.

The Cubs have been one of the top offenses in MLB this season, and any all pitchers could be in trouble against them.  Here against the Brewers starter Priester who owns a 3.79 ERA, 4.57 xERA and a 4.27 FIP, they matchup well. Meanwhile, the Cubs starter Brown  owns a  a 6.04 ERA, and 4.85 xERA and a 4.17 FIP. so he may not be as bad as his ERA or he just has not yet regressed. time will tell, but his averages tell a stpry of a guy who should give up some runs while hes in. 

The Cubs are ranked  23rd in bullpen ERA and the Brewers are ranked  27th . 

Chicago Cubs away games off an upset win over a division rival as an underdog are 7-0 L/7 dating back to last season with a combined average of 13.3 rpg going on the board.

Play over

 Angels starter Tyler Anderson owns a very sturdy 2.75 ERA in 17 road starts since the start of the 2024 campaign , while allowing just 0.9 home runs per 9 innings on average.  This is a pitchers ball park so Anderson should remain within his usual numbers here va a team my power rankings suggest he matches up well against.  Meanwhile, Mariners starter Emerson Hancock has allowed a total of only  four runs in his  his last two starts spanning 11 innings of stable work. Ive watched him work and hes a clam collective hurler and does not get frazzled. the Seattle righty goes against a Halos offense that ranks last in  MLB  with a ugly  .210 team BA . Note: Seattle home games against left-handed starters like Anderson have gone under in 18 of the L/23 with a combined average of 5.7 rpg scored.

 For today's matchup between the Angels and Mariners at T-Mobile Park, expect a pleasant day with a temperature around 66°F. Winds at 6.8 mph blowing in from left field may hinder long balls but won't significantly impact pitching.

  OKC has won 12 straight games against Memphis,  ans 10 of those 12 games have stayed under the total. This is in part due to the Thunder being the best defensive team in the league  and know how to slow down the Grizzlies. Other than that big time 40 point out put in the first quarter of the last game, the Grizzlies have been more like teddy bears against this strong Thunder D.In the reg season the Grizzlies were a  top 10 for fastbreak pounts team with  (16.7), Here in the post season they have (4.0) and have overall struggled to connect with the trey overall. After that huge surge last time out and still losing they are now highly likely out of gas and could produce a lower scoring output than even the lines-makers expect. The market has adjusted downward on this number, but rightfully so. Note: Memphis games versus below average foul drawing teams - attempting 21 or less free throws/game - 2nd half of the season are 11-1 UNDER.

There have been more goals than expected early on this series, but the Kings know to win this series they  need to slow down their opponents with their usually tough D., especially here on the road in Edmonton The Kings allowed the second-fewest goals per game  at (2.48) this season and fewest expected goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5. On the flispide , Oilers allowed a solid  2.87  and the ninth-fewest xGA/60. Im betting this game sees the beginning of a tighter type of play off hockey as both  two teams are more than likely to exhibit D first mentalities going forward.  LAK off a home blowout win by 3 goals or more have gone under in 12 of 17 overall. LAK in a road game where where the total is 6 or more have gone under in 8 of 11. Oilers against good defensive teams - opponents average 26.5 or better shots on goal have gone under in 9 of their L/12.

White Sox starting pitcher Shane Smith has been masterfully keeping his pitches away from home run hitters as is evident by  allowing just one home run in  22 1/3  innings of working spanning   four starts,  while positing a solid   a 2.82 ERA. He now should excwel vs a Twins side ranked  26th in scoring with just over 3.4 runs per game.  On the flipside, Twins starter Chris Paddack ha allowed just three runs  his past two starts,  while showing KO strike out  power  making  11 batters whiff  in just 10 innings. He goes against a  White Sox offense that has averaged just  2.7 runs per game away this season, which ranks 27th in the league. Everything points to a lower scoring early afternoon affair

 Celtics are  top tier  three-point attempt TEAM, that ranks 2nd in the NBA and first in made treys will have difficulties getting their shots off or to convert.When they met last time at the end of the season , the Magic shut them down. Orlando is built to slow down teams like the Celtics with a top tier brand of D. The  Magic do not and will not allow pace or space: This is a  top 10 side  in rim protection and also lead the league in opponent three-point conversion  rate. This going to be a grinding physical affair and points will come at a premium. Orlando games vs. top caliber teams - outscoring their opponents by 9+ points/game are  11-1 UNDER L/12 .

The Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo is not throwing heat like he used to and age maybe a contributing  factor. . He is not posting many strikeouts (7.6 per 9 innings) and has recorded a slightly bloated  4.22 ERA and 4.76 fielding independent and 4.3 walks per nine innings. Meanwhile, Blue Jays starting pitcher Easton Lucas has a 4.70 ERA this season, but a 5.19 fielding independent. and owns a ugly lifetime 7.49 ERA. If he falters and he likely will vs the Mariners inconsistent sometimes explosive offense he is backed  by a exhausted bullpen that went 12 innings yesterday.Seattle road games vs. AL teams allowing 3.9 or less runs/game on the season are 12-2 L/14 OVER with a combined average of 9.7 rpg scored.

Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes continues to be a dominant force on the hill   .

He is backed by  Pirates offense  that ranks 26th in the league in runs per game. On the flip side the Guardians starting pitcher Ben Lively has a slightly bloated  4.87 ERA this season, but has recorded a  4.37 fielding independent. The rightly is backed by a very strong  bullpen that has the league’s best ERA .  Considering these factors a lower scoring affair is projected.

Grizzlies can roll up points in a hurry ranking 2nd in the NBA ppg  and against the 21st ranked defense efficiency in the NBA Im betting they have a very productive offensive output. Meanwhile, Dallas proved their much better than some might perceive and took out the Sacramento Kings last time out while putting 120 points on the board and here against the 24th ranked ppg  D in the league will come close to replicating their last output  .NBA teams like Memphis where the total is 220 to 229.5 - off a road cover where the team lost straight up as an underdog, playing with 2 days rest are 48-17 OVER since 1997 with a combined average of 232.2 ppg scored.

Forecast for the KC vs. Detroit game: Expect cloudy skies and cool temps around 53°F, perfect for pitching. The 8 mph wind blowing in from center field, with gusts up to 26.9 mph, could negatively effect long hits. Humidity at 53.5% is moderate, adding slight influence on player performance.

The Mavs are going to have Davis in the lineup tonite, and that will buoy a more productive offensive output from the visitors here this evening. The Mavericks have gone Over in 3 of their last four games overall , and in  14 of their last 18 overall, and Im betting they push the action as this game goes on, as their D Im betting just wont get the job done. Ya the Mavs may try to slow this game down from the out set, but the Kings just have to many 3 point specialists and could easily pile up points in a hurry which will see the the Mavs have to reciprocate with some offensive fireworks of their own or be blown of the court , which favors a higher scoring affair than the lines-makers are estimating.

These teams put up 13 combined runs yesterday NYM 7 As 6) and my peojections estimate another fairly high scoring affair.

The Bucks have gone over at a 7-1-1 clip in their L/9 overall, and here against a Pelicans side that that ranks 28th in the NBA in defensive efficiency should be able to have a above average output , which Im projecting to be in the 120 plus range with the Pelicans scoring in the +105 range which equates to a -15 favorite offering.

New Orleans in home games revenging a same season loss vs opponent spanning 17 games have seen a combined average of 237.4 ppg. ( The Pelicans lost their last meeting with the Bucks)

The OVER is 7-0 in New Orleans/Milwaukee matchups at Milwaukee since the 2018 season.

Dallas is off a late collapse last time out giving up 3 late goals (final min) and losing 6-5 in OT, you can now bet on a more concerted defensive effort after that embarrassment.  Also more motivation comes from the fact that they  are    four points behind Winnipeg  for the top spot in the Central Division and desperately need a victory in regulation to have a chance at catching the Jets. Im betting this wil be like a play off style game, played tight and conservatively which projects for a lower scoring affair. 
  These teams have gone under seven straight times in bead to head battles.   The Jets have gone under in 17 of their L/21  this season when facing a division opponent.

Miami’s  starter Max Meyer has allowed at least three runs in nine of his L/10 starts dating back to last season and Im betting he allows at least 3 to 5 runs here today in a tilt that may see the Mets eclipse this total all on their own. .Meanwhile the Mets starter  , Tylor Megill  despite of a strong start to his campaign, still has issues with control whihc will see more base movement and a higher probability of run production from the Marlins becasue of this.. The Mets righty allows an average   3.4 walks  per nine innings in his career and already has 3.5 per nine innings this season.

The Flames/Sharks have played twice this season and both games went under the total .  Calgary  when going against  teams within the Pacific Division, have gone  17-4 UNDER . Im betting on another low scoring affair here tonite.
