3 Unit Play Take #711 Boston -1 over Detroit (7:05pm est):

Both of these teams are coming off thrilling wins in their last game. The Boston Celtics are fighting for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and nearly blew a big game for them their last time out as the Toronto Raptors came from down by double digits in the 4th quarter to force overtime. The Celtics trailed for most of the overtime but scored at the buzzer to steal back a game that they almost let slip away. Boston has been beating these type of teams like the Pistons (Eastern Conference squads in the 30-36 win range) the last three times they’ve played against them but they did just lose in overtime to Detroit at home right before that and they would love nothing more than to get that much needed win back here and do so on the Pistons home floor.

Detroit has been playing much better of late after an ugly losing streak more or less knocked them out of the playoff race last month. Those losses came right after guard Reggie Jackson was acquired by the Pistons at the trade deadline but Jackson eventually settled in and has been playing very well of late and his rise in play has been a big reason for the Pistons winning six of their last nine games. The other big thing that has happened during Detroit’s recent surge has been that one of their best players in Greg Monroe has been out with an injury. Most feel the reason Jackson has played so well of late has been because without Monroe down low it’s helped open up some things offensively for Jackson and the Pistons offense and created better spacing for their offense. The problem now is that Monroe has practiced and is back for tonight’s game and you have to wonder if having Monroe back on the floor means Detroit’s will revert back to their poor play again.

With this being a much bigger game for the Celtics I expect them to bring a big performance here in this one. Take Boston.

Utah Jazz -12


MLB YTD 3 – 2 for +1.15 Units

Cleveland Indians -125

Two factors come into play here. First, Cleveland should have an advantage offensive tonight. Last year, this team ranked 5th overall against right-handed pitching. They’ve added another power bat in Moss to the lineup and will feature 8 left-handers in this one. Houston, on the other hand, ranked 20th offensively against right-handers. All of their key ‘big bats’ are righties: Altuve, Springer, Gattis, and Carter. So offensively, Cleveland should have a strong edge here. Of course an even bigger edge should reside between the two starters. Carrasco was my #2 ranked starter last season. Yes, only Clayton Kershaw was better when you look at advanced stats. Imagine what Kershaw would be listed at if he was pitching in this spot @ Houston. About -150 / -160 if I had to guess. Carrasco is a strike-out machine (27% K-rate) who dominated right-handers last year (2.4 xFIP with 7.5 K/BB rate). Houston’s hitters love to strike out and they’re one of the worst in that department. I think we’ll see a dominant outing from him tonight. As far as Feldman is concerned, he’s as mediocre as it gets. Just looka t that terrible K-rate of 14% along with a 4.1/4.2 FIP/xFIP. His ERA of 3.7 was actually much lower last year than his SIERA of 4.3, so I would expect some major regression this season. In Spring Training, Feldman had 8 K’s to 8 BB’s….in 18.1 innings of work. That’s probably as bad as you can pitch, regardless of whether he gave up hits and/or HR’s. Huge mismatch in this one and I love Indians’ chances tonight.
