Lipscomb Bison vs. Texas Longhorns Preview and Predictions 04-04-2019 in NCAAB

Texas used a dominating defensive effort to advance to Thursday's NIT championship game. The Longhorns will need another to slow hot-shooting guard Garrison Mathews and upstart Lipscomb at New York's Madison Square Garden.



In Tuesday's semifinals, Texas was up against TCU, a Big 12 Conference rival which had swept both regular-season meetings. But coach Shaka Smart's Longhorns clamped down defensively, limiting the Horned Frogs to a season-low 44 points on 28.3-percent shooting while forcing 11 turnovers and allowing only seven assists. Paired with a combined 35 points from seniors Kerwin Roach and Dylan Osetkowski, it was more than enough for a 14-point win which sends Texas to its first NIT title game since its 1978 championship season. In Tuesday's first semifinal, The Bisons used a game-high 34 points from Mathews and a contest-ending 21-3 run to beat Wichita State 71-64 and become the first Atlantic Sun Conference team to reach the title game.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN



ABOUT LIPSCOMB (29-7): Mathews, a 6-5 guard, has the put the Nashville private liberal arts school on the college hoops map, averaging 28.8 points and 7.8 rebounds during the Bisons' four NIT wins - all away from home. Mathews, who averages a team-leading 21.1 points on the season, has been particularly deadly- from 3-point range (13-of-28) and at the free-throw stripe (19-of-23) over his last two games while totaling 78 points in 76 minutes. Forward Rob Marberry (14.7 points) and guard Kenny Cooper (10.0, team-leading 4.5 assists) also average double figures for Lipscomb, which averages 83.4 points while shooting 48.3 percent from the field and 75.5 percent from the free-throw line.

ABOUT TEXAS (20-16): The Longhorns' rout of TCU was its first NIT win outside of Austin after entering the postseason with a 16-16 record and five losses in its final six regular-season/Big 12 Tournament contests. Texas has done so without Big 12 Freshman of the Year and projected NBA Draft lottery pick Jaxson Hayes, who suffered a deep knee bone bruise in the Big 12 tourney quarterfinals, but Roach and Osetkowski have more than picked up the slack, averaging a combined 32.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists in the NIT. Freshman guard Courtney Ramey had averaged 13.7 points in the Longhorns' first three NIT wins, but will be trying to bounce back from a scoreless, 0-for-6 shooting outing versus TCU although he dished out eight assists.



TIP-INS

1. Texas has dominated both its previous meetings with Lipscomb, with the most recent being an 80-57 home win on Nov. 18, 2017, as the Longhorns forced 17 turnovers and limited the Bisons to 29.3-percent shooting. Mathews had 17 points and Roach had 16 to pace their respective teams.

2. Lipscomb will be playing in the second postseason championship game in program history, joining its 1986 NAIA national championship squad.

3. Texas is 10-3 all-time in the NIT, including a 3-0 mark in Madison Square Garden.

PREDICTION: Texas 72, Lipscomb 68

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 4 VIDEO MOV 1/1

# 3 SWAGGER STRIKE 3/1

# 5 SKAGIT 2/1

VIDEO MOV is my choice. Has run admirably when racing a dirt sprint race. With better than average trips to the winner's circle, Diaz should have this gelding in excellent position to win the race. Looks formidable versus this group of animals and ought to be one of the leaders. SWAGGER STRIKE - Could provide positive gains based on strong recent Equibase Speed Figures with an average of 79. Rodriguez and Santiago are a potent pair for dividends. SKAGIT - He has competitive class ratings, averaging 91, and has to be given consideration here. Put up a strong speed fig last time out.

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#3 TIZ PRICELESS (ML=8/1)
#8 CELEBRATEME (ML=8/1)
#4 TIZ POSSIBLE DEAR (ML=9/2)


TIZ PRICELESS - The March 1st race at Gulfstream Park was at a class level of (89). Dropping down in class a significant amount, so she should be in a good spot to win. I have to like this filly's winning probability at the shorter distance. The horse with the top average class rating in turf events is usually a solid play. This pony fits the bill. CELEBRATEME - Equibase speed figures on the turf point to this horse as a legit contender. Has the best in the field for this distance and surface. The 78 most recent race speed rating looks mighty good in the TrackMaster PPs. Have to watch for this animal on the turf. Last race at Gulfstream Park, scored a big turf number. Have to think she can do it again in this race. TIZ POSSIBLE DEAR - This horse's last race was out at Gulfstream Park in a race with a class rating of 88. Dropping significantly in class rating in today's event puts her in a solid position in this race. This thoroughbred is racing on the turf for the first time. She should be tough, coming off a second place finish in her race on Oct 31st on a sluggish track. Just missed hitting the board on February 15th at Gulfstream Park. With pretty good M/L odds in this field, she has my interest.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 TRACY ANN'S LEGACY (ML=9/5), #1 MATZO BELLA (ML=3/1), #10 BEST TREBOL (DOM) (ML=8/1),

TRACY ANN'S LEGACY - Should probably pass on this young horse, she hasn't had enough experience to win this kind of affair. Today's event is 5 furlongs. Hasn't hit the board in a short distance event in the last couple of months. Not the greatest of signs. The speed fig last time out doesn't fit very well in this race when I look at the Equibase class figure of today's race. Mark this horse as a possibly overvalued equine. MATZO BELLA - Hard to put your money on this speedball. Too much speed in the race. Should probably pass on this young horse, she hasn't had enough experience to win this kind of affair. BEST TREBOL (DOM) - Be a little shy about this three-year old versus the veterans. Will do better with more seasoning. This filly hasn't had any recent good results in short distance contests. Not easy to play her in this race.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Turf Man - TIZ PRICELESS - Don't discount this filly in this turf race. The TrackMaster turf number in her last turf race is the best of these ponies.

#4 TROPHY DOLL (IRE) (ML=5/1)


TROPHY DOLL (IRE) - This filly likes to be near the lead. Today's affair is a shorter trip and should help her chances of winning. Lanerie's agent must enjoy anytime Flint gives them a mount; win percent together is outstanding. The last time she tried this distance she got a fig good enough to win this affair.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 FIVE STAR FACTOR (ML=3/1), #8 TOLLY HO (ML=4/1), #9 IPANEMA BEACH (ML=4/1),

FIVE STAR FACTOR - The sixth place finish in the last affair was not the best. 3/1 is not offering enough value for any thoroughbred in a sprint of 7 furlongs that hasn't finished in the money in a sprint event recently. TOLLY HO - This youngster isn't going to beat the veterans today, maybe another time. IPANEMA BEACH - 77/71/27, are the lessening speed figs for this runner.

BLUE SHELL looks to be a quite good contender. Has raced admirably in short races. Could best this group based on the speed figure - 93 - of his last affair. Is a solid contender based on figures earned recently under today's conditions. SAGINAW CREEK - His 81 average has this gelding with among the best Equibase Speed Figures in here. The winning percentage shown by horses entered by Robinson running at this distance are the strongest in this group. ROYAL DESIRIO - Has competed soundly in short races. This animal could stun this lot at a decent number.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Brett Anderson, Oakland Athletics: (1-0, 0.00 ERA, $100): The veteran southpaw still loves pitching in the massive dimensions of the Oakland Coliseum. Anderson is coming off pitching six shutout innings of three-hit ball in his first start of the season there. He now owns a 1.67 ERA and a 0.82 WHIP in his last seven starts there.

The competition gets a little tougher today against the Red Sox. The A’s are currently slight -105 home favorites with a total sitting at 8.

SLUMPING

Yu Darvish, Chicago Cubs (0-0, 10.12 ERA, $-160): Darvish’s homecoming slash return to the mound certainly did not go as expected. The Japanese right-hander lasted just 2.2 innings in his first start since May 20th of last season, surrendering three runs on two hits and a jaw dropping seven walks.

Darvish will attempt to bounce back when he returns to the mound when the Cubs visit the Braves tonight. The Cubs are currently +100 underdogs with a total of 8.5 for this one.

PITCHER’S DUEL REMATCH

We get treated to a fantastic pitcher’s duel to kick off the day as Stephen Strasburg squares off against Noah Syndergaard when the Mets host the Nationals for their home opener. This is a rematch from just five days ago in which both starters got roughed up and will want to bounce back in a big way. What’s even crazier is the numbers for both starters. Both Strasburg and Syndergaard allowed four runs on seven hits in six innings pitched, in an eventual 11-8 Mets victory. New York is currently a -130 favorite this time around in a matchup oddsmakers expect the starters to return to form, setting the total at 6.5.

RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY

Two of today’s scheduled games have already been postponed due to rain. The White Sox have rescheduled their home opener against the Mariners to Friday, which was a scheduled off day for both teams.

The Cardinals also had to postpone their home opener against the Padres and the game will also be made up on Friday. Make sure to check out our MLB Weather page for the latest forecasts at the ball parks all across the country.

KEEPING A LOW PROFILE

The Tigers are quietly having a nice little start to the season at 4-3, but what we really want to take note of is the team they are shaping up to be. And that is a wonderful Under bet. The Under has cashed in all seven of their games to start the season thanks to a great combination of poor hitting and good pitching. The Tigers rank last in runs per game, 29th in average and 28th in OPS, while ranking third in ERA and WHIP. Detroit plays its home opener today against the Royals with a total of 8.

NIT Championship Betting Preview

Lipscomb vs. Texas (ESPN, 7:00 p.m. ET)

Two programs who found themselves on the wrong end of the NCAA Tournament bubble have managed to put that disappointment aside to reach the title game of the NIT Tournament on Thursday night and it should be an intriguing matchup.

Lipscomb was probably never going to get an at-large bid coming out of the Atlantic Sun after losing that tournament's title game to Liberty. However, if you were to ask the guys on Lipscomb now would they prefer a chance at some NIT hardware over what would have likely been a one or two-game run in the NCAA Tournament, a few of them would be hard-pressed not to take the opportunity they've got in front of them on Thursday night.

Texas stumbled in the latter half of their Big 12 slate to essentially play themselves out of NCAA Tournament consideration, but getting someone like Kerwin Roach reinstated for post-season basketball has helped this team forget about that rough stretch. The Longhorns were able to knock off hated rival TCU for the first time in three tries to get to this NIT championship, and they come into this meeting with mid-major Lipscomb as a slight favorite.

With the sights, sounds, and nerves of playing at MSG gone out the window for both teams after their semi-final wins, which program gets to add some hardware to their trophy case on campus this year?

Odds: Texas (-1.5); Total set at 143

Right off the bat, bettors following the market will see that the 'under' in this game got hit pretty hard upon opening in the high 140's here at BetOnline.ag, but it's settled around in at 143 since then. Title games in any sport tend to get 'under' love regardless, so I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in such a significant move, but it's one to make note of for sure if you are considering a play on either side of this total. That's not something I'm interested in here though, as it's the side (and outright winner) I'm looking to back.

Texas is going to get some love here given they are the more known program in this spot and have dealt with better competition all year long, but I don't believe they should be the ones laying points here. Yes, it's been on the strength of the Longhorns defensive play that has gotten them here – holding Colorado to 55 points and TCU to 44 points the last two rounds was impressive – but for as solid as those results were, the Buffaloes and Horned Frogs were 124th and 128th in the country in offensive efficiency.

Enter Lipscomb, who ranks 32nd in the nation in that regard, scoring 83.6 points per game on the year, and have reached this point having played all of their NIT games either on the road or at a neutral site. And even still, Lipscomb has averaged 14.25 points more per game in the NIT than Texas has (85 vs 70.75) and the Longhorns have actually played a full five more minutes as well. Sometimes it's as simple as you need more points than the other team to win games, and in that respect, it's hard not to like Lipscomb's chances here.

Half of the Longhorns losses this year (8 of 16) have come when they closed as a favorite of any number this year, and there are some contests with them laying significant chalk as well. A 2-5 ATS run coming into this game isn't confidence building either, and with the overall youth this Longhorns team has in general, a championship game of any kind may still be too big of a moment for these guys.

Lipscomb has made a point during this NIT run that the level of play in these smaller mid-major conferences is improving every year, and having already taken out on Power 5 conference bubble team in NC State on this NIT run, the Bison get their first Division I basketball championship in school history on Thursday night.

Inside the Paint - Thursday
Chris David

The NBA slows down the pace on Thursday with just three games and the grind of the regular season has turned anticipated matchups into afterthoughts due to injuries and rest.

Let’s break down the card!

Milwaukee (58-20 SU, 46-29-3 ATS) at Philadelphia (49-30 SU, 36-42 ATS)

Unfortunately for fans and bettors, this possible playoff preview will be lacking plenty of luster on Thursday as the game will be filled with a lot of backup players. The injury report for the Bucks has seven players listed as ‘out’ or ‘questionable’ while the 76ers will likely be without Joel Embiid and possibly Jimmy Butler as well.

Follow our Injuries or for faster updates, check out our Lineups feature within our Live Odds.

These teams just played to a classic battle in Milwaukee on Mar. 17 and the 76ers captured a 130-125 win over the Bucks as 5 ½-point road underdogs. Embiid scored 40 points for Philadelphia while Butler added 27 points. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 52 points and posted 16 rebounds in a losing effort for the Bucks, but the team just couldn’t connect from 3-point land (16-of-50) in the loss.

Milwaukee is ranked second in attempted 3-pointers per game with 38.2 and that ‘make-or-miss’ approach from distance has made the Bucks the top scoring team in the league at 117.9 points per game. Philadelphia isn’t far behind (115.2 PPG) them but the difference for the Bucks is their defense (108.6 PPG) and that production has led to the best point differential (9.3) in the NBA. To put things in perspective, Milwaukee has won 45 of its 58 games this season by 10 points or more.

Thursday’s encounter will be the third and final meeting of the regular season between the pair. The first meeting took place in late October and Milwaukee defeated Philadelphia 123-108 as a five-point home favorite. The Bucks have lost their last two trips to Philadelphia, which both occurred last season, and both decisions were by double digits as they were held to 94 and 95 points.

The 76ers will be playing on no rest after losing at Atlanta 130-122 on Tuesday as 4 ½-point road favorites. Including that setback, Philadelphia has dropped two straight games and four of its last six but the team hasn’t pushed out a full-strength roster in weeks since it’s all but locked into the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. When facing back-to-back spots this season, Philadelphia has gone 4-7 SU and 3-8 ATS while the ‘over’ has gone 8-3.

While Philadelphia has been on cruise control lately, the Bucks continue to rack up wins despite shuffling players in and out of the roster. Antetokounmpo played for Milwaukee on Monday as the team diced up Brooklyn 131-121 as one-point road underdogs and most reports have him expected to play in this game.

Since the loss to Philadelphia in mid-March, the Bucks have gone 6-2 SU and 5-2-1 ATS. The two losses came on the road and to a pair of losing clubs (Hawks, Cavaliers) but despite those setbacks, Milwaukee owns the best road mark (26-14 SU, 23-15-2 ATS) in the league. This will be their final road game of the regular season.

TNT will provide national coverage of this game at 8:05 p.m. ET.

Cleveland (19-59 SU, 37-40-1 ATS) at Sacramento (38-40 SU, 44-32-2 ATS)

The Kings opened as 10-point home favorites over the Cavaliers and the number was pushed down to 9 ½ as of Thursday morning. I don’t expect Sacramento to lose this game but we did see Chicago (+9 ½) surprise Washington last night as a heavy road underdog in a meaningless game. While that outcome was an upset, three other heavy double-digit favorites on Wednesday went 3-0 both SU and ATS for ‘chalk’ bettors.

Sacramento blasted Cleveland 129-110 on Dec. 7 as a three-point road favorite and that was the fourth straight cover for the Kings in this series. The Cavaliers own the worst road record (6-33 SU, 18-20-1 ATS) in the league and they’ve gone 1-9 (5-5 ATS) since the All-Star break as visitors and the defense has allowed 120.1 PPG during this span, which has led to a 7-3 ‘over’ mark.

The high side (228 ½) could be the lean in this spot or a better look could be the Sacramento Team Total ‘over’ (119). Sacramento has gone 4-5 at home in the second-half of the season but all five losses came against teams with winning records while the victories were against clubs below .500. In those wins, the Kings averaged 118 PPG while winning by an average of 13.5 PPG.

Golden State (53-24 SU, 33-43-1 ATS) at L.A. Lakers (35-43 SU, 31-45-2 ATS)

The second-half of Thursday’s TNT (10:35 p.m. ET) double-header takes place at the Staples Center when the Warriors (-13) face the Lakers as heavy road favorites. After losing to Los Angeles 127-101 on Christmas Day as nine-point home favorites, the Warriors have avenged that setback with two straight wins (1-1 ATS) against the Lakers and both results came by double digits.

The holiday upset of Golden State happened to be the turning point of the season for Los Angeles, who lost LeBron James to a groin injury in that win. The club was 20-14 at the time and expected to be a playoff team, possibly a contender. His absence, other key injuries, trade rumors and off-the-court drama watched the team go 15-29 since the X-Mas day win. The Lakers recently shut James down for the season and practically every other viable offensive weapon as well.

The lack of firepower was evident on Tuesday as Los Angeles was blasted 119-103 at Oklahoma City as a 12 ½-point road underdog. Prior to that loss, the Lakers had gone 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS in their previous five games. They have won three straight games at home entering this matchup but it would be shocking to see that streak extended tonight.

Golden State’s magic number to earn the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference is “3” and it will likely drop to “2” after beating Los Angeles this evening. Golden State has won four of its last five games and has managed to go 3-2 ATS for bettors despite laying some healthy numbers. The Warriors are no strangers to laying big prices, even on the road.

Last Friday, the club dropped a 131-130 overtime decision at Minnesota as a 10-point road favorite and that was the first time this season that Golden State lost as a double-digit road favorite. Prior to that decision, the Warriors were 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS when laying 10-plus points away from the Bay Area. The ‘over’ has gone 7-1 in these situations and tonight’s total is listed at 227.

In the Crease - Week 28
Joe Williams

Detroit Rock City

The Detroit Red Wings have been eliminated for a long time, but they're certainly not throwing in the towel. They have won six in a row, and eight of the past nine outings. During their current six-game winning streak they have cashed some huge numbers, including +330 at Vegas on March 23 and +320 at San Jose on March 25. They also toppled Boston (+180) at home on March 31, 6-3, while also dealing Pittsburgh (+170) a costly loss for another solid payout for those who invested in the Red Wings. During the 6-0-0 run, they have cashed a healthy (+1235).

They'll play the second end of the home-and-home with the Penguins in the Steel City on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. ET, and they're a huge underdog (+275). Are you feeling them, or is the win streak finally going to end? The Red Wings have won just once in their past five trips to Pittsburgh, although the underdog is 5-2 in the past seven meetings, with the 'over' 5-1 in the past six meetings in Western Pennsylvania. The over is also 12-4 in the past 16 meetings overall in the series.

Looking Ahead

Thursday, April 4

Montreal at Washington: The Canadiens are fighting for a wild-card spot, while the Capitals are still shooting for a division title. Both teams have something to play for, so this one should be one of the best games of the evening. The Habs are 6-2 in the past eight games overall, while going 5-2 in the past seven against Eastern Confernce teams. However, they're just 2-5 in the past seven road games, and 1-8 in the past nine away from home against teams with a winning home record. The Canadiens are just 2-6 in the past seven meetings, but the road team is 20-7 in the past 27 in this series, and the underdog is 22-9 in the past 31 battles overall.

Tampa Bay at Toronto: The Lightning head into this one with a 42-9 mark across their past 51 against the Eastern Conference, steamrolling all comers. They're also 39-16 in the past 55 games on the road, an area which will obviously handy once the postseason begins. Tampa Bay has won four of the past five in this series, and they're 4-1 in the past five trips to Toronto, too. The Leafs are a solid 41-20 in their past 61 at home.

Winnipeg at Colorado: The Jets have won just once in the past five games overall, but it seems the closer together the games are, the better they do. That will serve them well in the playoffs. In the past 27 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation, they're 21-6. They're also 17-6 in the past 23 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. Colorado has won five in a row at home, and they're 7-2 in the past nine overall. The Avalanche need just one point in the next two games to eliminate the Arizona Coyotes and punch their ticket to the postseason.

Friday, April 5

Dallas at Chicago: The Blackhawks won a hard fought game on Wednesday, topping the Blues 4-3 in a shootout behind Cam Ward in his first start in a month. It might be his final start in the NHL, unless he elects to return for another season. The Stars are into the postseason, clinching over the weekend, and they're 5-2 in the past seven meetings in this series. The road team has cashed in four straight meetings, with the 'over' going 20-7-1 in the past 28 meetings in the Windy City.

Los Angeles at Anaheim: The Kings and Ducks have nothing to play for but pride. Even if neither of these teams are going to the playoffs, this will be played like a playoff game most likely. These rivals do not like each other, so it should be entertaining. L.A. has won just seven of their past 26 games, and they're 3-9 in the past 12 as a road underdog. Anaheim isn't quitting, either. They beat the No. 1 seed Flames on Wednesday, moving to 32-1 in their past 33 regular-season home games against Calgary. In this series, the under is 4-1 in the past five meetings, the home team is 4-1 in the past five, and the favorite has cashed in nine of the past 11 in this series.

Saturday, April 6

Toronto at Montreal: The Maple Leafs could potentially knock their Original Six rivals out of the postseason depending on how things shake down over the next couple of days. That should make Saturday's battle very interesting. The Habs haven't had a lot of success against the Leafs lately, with Toronto going 7-0 in the past seven meetings, and the favorite cashing in each of the past five in the series.

Carolina at Philadelphia: The Hurricanes could be playing for their playoff lives on Saturday, or they might simply be jockeying for the seventh seed just to avoid the Tampa Bay Lightning in the playoffs. Either way, this will be an important game. They just beat Philly 5-2 as home favorites on March 30 behind Petr Mrazek, who has won 10 of his past 12 entering play on Thursday. They'll be looking to complete the season sweep against the Flyers, including a home-and-home win on Dec. 31 and Jan. 3. Mrazek won the last game in Philly on Jan. 3 by a 5-3 margin.

Colorado at San Jose: The Avalanche might have already clinched a playoff spot by the time the puck drops, but depending on what happens in the Dallas game on Friday night, the Avalanche could potentially be playing for the first wild-card, and a chance to avoid the Calgary Flames. The Sharks have been sick lately, and not in a good way. They're limping into the playoffs and need a momentum builder. They have won four meetings in a row at home against the Avalanche since Dec. 28, 2016, and the over is an impressive 7-1-1 in the past nine in this series. The home team is also 7-2 in the past nine meetings, with the favorite 3-0 in the past three.

Play on: Orioles +185 at betonline

The struggling New York Yankees (2-4 Overall, 0-0 Road) are looking to get things right in their first road series of the season. They face the Baltimore Orioles (4-2 Overall, 0-0 Home).
The New York Yankees need to find their swagger, but more than half the teams starters are on the injured list. Tulo went down yesterday with a strained calf, and will miss games.
Today, the short handed Yankees will give the ball to James Paxton (0-1, 1.59 ERA). He has faced the Orioles already once this year.
During that start he pitched five innings, allowing four hits and two runs. The Orioles lineup hit .200 against him.
The Baltimore Orioles return for their season opener. Baltimore will give the ball to Alex Cobb. Cobb will be making his season debut.
Cobb finished last season 3-3 with a 2.56 ERA. 10 starts (11 outings). For his career he is 7-4 with a 2.90 ERA against the Yankees. 16 starts (17 outings).
This one will be close. Take the Orioles at home to get the win.

MIKE LUNDIN'S RED SOX @ ATHLETICS FREE PICK
The Oakland Athletics had shut out the Boston Red Sox in back-to-back games before taking a 6-3 loss on Wednesday. I like the A's to bounce back here Thursday to deny Boston to split this series.
A's left-hander Brett Anderson (1-0, 0.00 ERA) tossed six scoreless innings against the Halos in his season debut and is 6-4 behind a solid 3.48 ERA in 11 career starts against Boston.
The Red Sox turn to left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (0-1, 10.38 ERA) who owns a 2.33 ERA in four career starts against Oakland but was charged with all runs (five earned) in a 6-5 loss to the Mariners in his season debut.
Oakland has won six of the last eight meetings and is also 6-2 in Anderson's last eight starts vs. Red Sox. I like the price we get on the home team in this matchup.
Free pick on Oakland Athletics.

Jack’s Free Pick Thursday: Boston Red Sox -102
The Boston Red Sox got off to a slow start this season at 2-5. I think they are undervalued now as a result as basically even money against the Oakland A’s today. It’s only a matter of time before they bust out of their slump, and they made a step forward with a 6-3 win in Oakland yesterday.
Eduardo Rodriquez has been a great find for the Red Sox. He has also dominated the A’s in four career starts against them, going 2-1 with a 2.33 ERA and 0.778 WHIP. He has struck out 26 Oakland batters in 27 innings while allowing just 21 base runners.
Rodriquez is 12-0 against the money line vs. an AL team with a slugging percentage of .410 or worse over the last two seasons. The Red Sox are 11-2 in Rodriquez’s last 13 road starts. Bet the Red Sox Thursday.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Game #5 Thursday Free Pick Montreal Canadiens Money Line (+) @ Washington Capitals @ 7:05 ET - Sure the Capitals have motivation (to win the Metro Division) and they would like to bounce back off a flat performance. However, the Canadiens are the much hungrier team here. While all the Caps need is one loss by the Islanders and they've clinched the division, the Habs are in a dogfight for the final playoff spot in the East. Coming off a confidence-boosting win by knocking off the top team in the league, Montreal will build off the win over Tampa Bay by knocking off the defending champs here. The road team is actually 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between these clubs. The Canadiens play in the NHL's hottest pressure-cooker, yes that hockey-crazed city Montreal, and they are truly better off on the road for a huge game like this. The Habs have won 6 of their last 8 games and the Capitals just lost a key defensemen to injury. Look for the Canadiens to be very aggressive from the outset in this one and take advantage of the Caps weakend blueline. Grab the road dog. Free Pick MONTREAL

Play on: Sabres -180 at betonline

My 1* Free Play is on the Buffalo Sabres.
I don’t normally recommend laying chalk of this size, unless there’s a really good reason to.
And in this case, I think the visiting Senators, who are off a 4-1 win in New York just last night, come into this one predictably “gassed” in the second game of the back-to-back scenario.
Neither team will make the playoffs and while the Sens have looked better of late, they have nothing to play for here whatsoever.
The Sabres on the other hand are trying to break a miserable eight-game slide and I believe the motivation to do that alone will end up being the difference maker in this one.
I’ll point out as well that Ottawa is a poor 8-23 in its last 31 when playing the second game of the back-to-back, while Buffalo is still 21-8 in its last 29 as a favorite in the -150 to -200 range.
No excuses for the Sabres tonight. Consider laying the price in this one.
Good luck…Larry

10* FREE MLB PICK (Braves -111)
I'll take my chances here with Atlanta as a small home favorite against Chicago. The Cubs are simply not playing well and it's almost like they are trying to hard to live up to expectations. After the bullpen blew a lead last night, Chicago has lost 4 straight and will have to hope Yu Darvish is better than he was the first time out.
Darvish lasted just 2 2/3 innings at Texas, mainly because he couldn't find the strike zone (7 walks). I know it wasn't that long ago that Darvish was really good, but he's not someone I trust right now. Braves have got their offense going at home and it wouldn't shock me to see them put up 5+ runs here.
Atlanta will counter with Max Fried, who will make his first start. Braves got a few new faced in the rotation and this is the guy I was excited to see. While he had a 1-4 record in 2018, he posted a strong 2.94 ERA and had 44 strikeouts in just 33 2/3 innings. Give me Atlanta -111!

And they close with three home games after this road trip to Philadelphia. The Bucks are more worried about getting guys healthy right now than winning this game tonight. They have a handful of players on the injury report. The 76ers have been one of the best home teams in the NBA this season, going 30-9 SU at home. Philadelphia is 16-4 ATS after failing to cover four or five of their last six ATS this season.

1* Free MLB Pick on Texas Rangers +140
This is just too good a price to pass up on the Rangers with how much the Angels are struggling, especially offensively, to start the season. Los Angeles is 1-5 and are simply not hitting. The Angels as a team are hitting a mere .178 with a .240 OBP. The more staggering thing to me is that they have hit just 1 HR. It certainly doesn't help Trout is in a slump.
On the flip side of this, the Rangers are scoring 5.7 runs/game and have hit 10 HRs in their first 6 games. Texas is slugging .455 as a team and the Angels are slugging .241. Really hard to score runs against today's pitchers when all you can crank out is singles.
LA is going to snap out of this funk at some point, but no way should they be this big a favorite until they show something. Including last year, the Angels are now just 1-11 in their last 12 vs teams who are slugging .440 or better. Take Texas!
