Toronto Raptors vs. Washington Wizards Preview and Predictions 04-27-2018

26th April 2018 by Gracenote
the washington wizards are confident they can force a do-or-die game 7 with the toronto raptors and they'll get a chance to do just that when they host game 6 on friday. "we love our chances," point guard john wall told reporters of the eighth-seeded wizards' quest to stave off elimination at home. "we're very confident."

washington won games 3 and 4 at home before the raptors seized a 3-2 series advantage with wednesday's 108-98 win in toronto, but the wizards are victorious in their last eight playoff games in the nation's capital. demar derozan scored 32 points and handed out five assists to lead the top-seeded raptors in the critical game 5 win. delon wright chipped in 18 points in 26 minutes off the bench in the win, eliciting some trash talk from wizards forward kelly oubre jr. that should add some spice to what has been a contentious series at times. "the next game is a different story," oubre told the media of wright. "we're back at home. just like delon doesn't play well anywhere else, you know, other than at home. you can kind of chalk it up as the same story."

tv: 7 p.m. et, nbatv, espnews, sportsnet (toronto), nbcs washington

about the raptors: coach dwane casey discovered something down the stretch in game 5 with an odd grouping of derozan, kyle lowry, c.j. miles, center jonas valanciunas - who had yet to play in the fourth quarter this series - and wright. "i thought delon wright did a good job down the stretch handling the ball," casey told reporters. "it gave us an opportunity for kyle and demar to get off the ball a little bit more and i thought that was the difference." valanciunas is averaging 13.4 points on 61.4 percent shooting to go along with 8.8 rebounds in the series.
about the wizards: oubre, who is 3-of-16 from 3-point range in the series, might gain a larger role if fellow forward otto porter jr. is unable to go. porter has been wrestling with a bone bruise in his left leg and will be reassessed friday, and coach scott brooks knows he needs more from the georgetown product, who averaged 14.7 points this season but has been held to single digits three times in the series. "we need otto to be more than a 9-10 point scorer for us to win this series," brooks told reporters.
buzzer beaters

1. derozan is averaging 28.8 points in the series while making 10-of-22 3-pointers.

2. wizards sg bradley beal averaged 29.5 points on 52.6 percent shooting in his team's two wins in the series.

3. toronto pg fred vanvleet (shoulder) missed the last three games and is listed as questionable for game 6.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers Preview and Predictions 04-27-2018

26th April 2018 by Gracenote
as long as lebron james is on the floor, the cleveland cavaliers have a chance to win. james, who beat the buzzer to give his team a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven eastern conference first-round series on wednesday, will try to lead the cavaliers into the semifinals when they visit the indiana pacers for game 6 on friday.

james capped off a 44-point, 10-rebound, eight-assist performance by nailing a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the cavaliers a 98-95 victory in game 5 and their first lead of the series. "as a kid, you always have those 'three-two-one' moments, and being able to have one of those moments, that's what it kind of felt like," james told reporters of the last shot. "felt like i was a kid all over again. just playing basketball at my house, makeshift hoops and my socks as a basketball. making the [swish] noise." james' buzzer-beater came after he swatted away a dunk attempt by indiana's victor oladipo at the other end - a play the nba declared on thursday should have been called a goaltend. "it is what it is," pacers center myles turner told reporters. "it was clearly a goaltend. they didn't review it. there's not anything you can say about it. it's frustrating. it doesn't change the fact that lebron still hit that game-winning shot, but it's still a pivotal moment in the game that i feel does need a review."

tv: 8 p.m. et, espn, fs ohio (cleveland), fs indiana

about the cavaliers: kevin love added a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds on wednesday and felt confident that his teammate was the right person to take the final shot. "we wanted to free up 'bron as best we could," love told reporters. "he had to make a read whether to go low or high and caught the ball. he seems to shoot that shot a lot in practice as well as many others; but going to his left and rising without a pump-fake - he was in a good rhythm and hit an amazing shot. it was unbelievable." kyle korver was the only other player to score in double figures with 19 points on 6-of-11 shooting for cleveland.
about the pacers: indiana guard victor oladipo started out hot in the series but is struggling over the last three games and was just 2-of-15 from the floor while scoring 12 points on wednesday. the all-star is 12-of-50 over the last three contests after going 20-of-37 in the first two games. "the series ain't over," oladipo told reporters. "you got to win four games for the series to be over, right? so, we got a chance to win on friday. i don't think anybody is discouraged or upset."
buzzer beaters

1. pacers c domantas sabonis is averaging 20.5 points on 17-of-24 shooting over the last two games.

2. cavaliers pg george hill (back) missed the last two games and is questionable for friday.

3. cleveland sg jr smith went scoreless on 0-of-8 shooting in 33 minutes on wednesday.

prediction: cavaliers 102, pacers 99

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Utah Jazz Preview and Predictions 04-27-2018

26th April 2018 by Gracenote
the oklahoma city thunder staged a comeback for the ages to avoid elimination and now attempt to tie the first-round series against the host utah jazz at three games apiece on friday. oklahoma city trailed by 25 points with 20 1/2 minutes to play in wednesday's game 5 before roaring back to record a 107-99 victory.

point guard russell westbrook scored 33 of his 45 points and in the second half while paul george tallied 21 of his 34 after halftime as the unexpected explosion kept the thunder alive. "it was win or go home," westbrook told reporters. "regardless of what is going on in the game, you have to give yourself a chance to win, and i thought our guys did a good job of that. they did an amazing job of sticking together." the jazz will need to put the epic collapse behind them after it looked like they were on their way to finishing off oklahoma city in five games. "they made adjustments and we didn't make the right adjustments back," utah guard donovan mitchell told reporters. "we will watch the film and figure out what went wrong, but from my analysis right after the game, we just stopped getting back in transition and they just fed off of that."

tv: 10:30 p.m. et, espn, fs oklahoma, at&t sportsnet rocky mountain (utah)

about the thunder: westbrook didn't even reach 20 points in two of the first four games of the series and was having a ho-hum game 5 before erupting in mvp-caliber form. oklahoma city coach billy donovan was pleased with the reversal in caliber of play but he also made it clear he has no interest in finding himself in a similar situation in game 6. "i don't look at it like we're carrying any momentum," donovan told reporters. "we've got to go in there and we've got to play and play better. this is a team that had us down by 25 points. now, i'm obviously thrilled with the comeback and it was a great job, but you get down 25 points on the road, that's hard to overcome."

about the jazz: the utah collapse occurred during a time center rudy gobert picked up his fourth foul and then - after an 81-second return - his fifth foul and there was no recovering from the assault. "when rudy went out, that impacted us. but that said, i thought our struggles on the offensive end impacted our defense too much," utah coach quin snyder told reporters. "we've known during the year if we struggle offensively that our defense has to stay solid. but i thought when they did start making plays and rudy went out, that we were fighting it, but we didn't execute as well as we needed to offensively." gobert notched four straight double-doubles and is averaging 14.4 points and 10.8 rebounds in the series.
buzzer beaters

1. george has topped 30 points on three occasions in the series while averaging 28.6 points.

2. oklahoma city f carmelo anthony had just seven points in game 5 and is averaging 12.8 points on 36.9 percent shooting.

3. utah f jae crowder made six 3-pointers and scored 27 points in game 5 after averaging just six points over the first four games.

prediction: thunder 117, jazz 112

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Preview and Predictions 04-27-2018

26th April 2018 by Gracenote
climbing atop the national league central is proving to be a difficult chore for the st. louis cardinals, but collecting victories inside the division has been a much easier task. the cardinals eye their 11th win in the last 13 games friday when they open a three-game set in pittsburgh against the pirates.

st. louis (15-9) hasn't been able to overtake milwaukee atop the division thanks to the brewers' eight-game winning streak, but the cardinals have been among the hottest teams in the nl since their 5-7 start, going 8-1 against division rivals cincinnati and the chicago cubs to improve to 11-4 against the central. that success from april 12-22 carried over to the team's most recent series, as st. louis ventured outside the division for only the third time this season and claimed two of three from the new york mets. pittsburgh has cooled off since an 11-4 start, although the pirates righted the ship a bit by kicking off their six-game homestand with two wins in three contests against detroit. this weekend will mark the first meetings of the year between the longtime division rivals after st. louis went 11-8 against pittsburgh in 2017 - the fourth consecutive season the cardinals won the season series.

tv: 7:05 p.m. et, fs midwest (st. louis), at&t sportsnet pittsburgh

pitching matchup: cardinals rh miles mikolas (3-0, 3.46 era) vs. pirates lh steven brault (2-1, 4.44)

mikolas has walked only two over 26 innings and befuddled cincinnati for the second time in as many starts sunday, permitting two runs (one earned) on five hits across seven innings. the 29-year-old floridian was even sharper eight days earlier versus the reds when he yielded one run on four hits in seven frames - a turn that followed a pair of outings against milwaukee in which he surrendered eight runs over 12 innings. sean rodriguez has a homer in three at-bats against mikolas, who hasn't faced pittsburgh since 2012.
brault struggled with his control again saturday at philadelphia and has issued 11 free passes while recording only 12 strikeouts over 21 1/3 innings as a starter. the regis university product did not factor into the decision against the phillies after allowing two runs on two hits and three walks over 5 1/3 innings. brault gave up two runs in four relief frames versus the cardinals last year, but his only career start against them came in his big-league debut in 2016 - a no-decision in which he yielded one earned run over four innings.
walk-offs

1. cardinals of tommy pham went 4-for-6 against the mets on thursday, the fourth time he's had at least three hits in 22 contests this season.

2. pittsburgh of starling marte has played in each of his team's 25 games and reached base safely in 24 of them.

3. st. louis has allowed a majors-low four stolen bases.

prediction: cardinals 6, pirates 3

Winnipeg Jets vs. Nashville Predators Preview and Predictions 04-27-2018

26th April 2018 by Gracenote
they combined for 231 points during fantastic regular seasons in which they finished with the two best records in the nhl, and friday begins what promises to be an entertaining western conference semifinal when the nashville predators host the winnipeg jets in the series opener. the predators finished with 117 points to win the presidents' trophy, one season after reaching the stanley cup finals, while the jets set a franchise record with 114 points.

nashville finished 3-1-1 against the jets in the regular season, but each team owns one victory on road ice and the two squads combined for 41 goals in those five games - a testament to the offensive firepower on both rosters considering both teams have vezina trophy finalists in pekka rinne of the predators and winnipeg's connor hellebuyck. "both teams have great goal scorers, great offensive guys," nashville forward kevin fiala told reporters. "it doesn't matter if you're first line or fourth, everybody can score. it's going to be a really good series, i think." the predators finished the regular season with eight players recording 40 or more points, including a pair of defensemen (roman josi and p.k. subban), while the jets had four players finish with 60-plus points - including the nhl co-leader in assists (blake wheeler) and the second-highest goal scorer in the league (patrik laine). "neither team is passive in how they play," jets coach paul maurice told the media. "neither team sits back and tries to slow the game down in terms of what they do with the puck. there's lots of action in these games."

tv: 8 p.m. et, nbc sports network, cbc, tva, sportsnet 360

about the jets: as has been the case all season winnipeg smothered minnesota in the opening round with waves of offense, getting three points or more from seven players in the five games - led by four goals and an assist from center mark scheifele and a pair of goals from laine along with defenseman tyler myers. hellebuyck did not face tremendous pressure for large stretches of the series, but even though he was pulled from game 3 he still finished with a .924 save percentage and a 1.93 goals against average. defenseman josh morrissey is back after serving a one-game suspension in the clinching game 5, and winnipeg hopes defenseman toby enstrom (lower-body) will be available after he missed the opening round.
about the predators: one aspect nashville hopes to improve on from its first-round victory over colorado is its second line, as fiala, center kyle turris and forward craig smith combined for just five points. forward austin watson and center colton sissons were fantastic in the first round, combining for seven goals and 14 points, while rinne shook off a rough performance in game 3 to stop 140-of-154 shots on goal. forward ryan hartman, a trade-deadline acquisition who scored the game-winning goal against the jets in his nashville debut feb. 27, was a healthy scratch in the game 6 clincher against colorado after missing game 5 with a suspension.

overtime

1. both teams finished in the top 10 in goals per game (jets second; predators tied for seventh) and goals against per game (nashville second; winnipeg fifth).

2. maurice did not express concern about laine, who missed a couple of practices leading up to the series opener.

3. josi finished with nine points (eight assists) in the five regular-season games against winnipeg, while wheeler and f kyle conner led the jets in the season series with six points apiece.

prediction: predators 3, jets 2

EL DIABLO GRANDE looks like the wager in here. Is difficult not to consider based on Equibase Speed Figures which have been very good - 59 avg - of late. Looks solid to be on or close to the front end at the first call. Earned a sound speed rating in the last race. Can run another good one in this race. STAR DE WARRIOR - Could wake up with Lasix change (with second time Lasix) today. Have to believe this one will do well following the quick comeback. ROCKY RUSH - Had one of the top Equibase Speed Figures of this group in his last outing. Patrick and Parker have won 24 percent of their races giving this equine a very strong chance.

#7 TALENTED ZEALOUS (ML=5/1)

WE WILBURN YOU - Last race at Penn National on April 13th was a big class drop for this animal. Facing similar foes in this field. He should do well this time around. EL CHAVO - This gelding garnered a nice rating of 67 in his last affair. That rating should be good enough to win this time. This horse coming off a nice effort in the last month or so is a strong challenger in my opinion. I like this gelding. Has the top earnings per race in this one. TALENTED ZEALOUS - The rest of the bunch may trail this mount all the way around the track.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 S W IRISH HE IS (ML=3/1), #4 SHOT THE SHERIFF (ML=9/2), #8 CAPITANO RICARDO (ML=6/1),

S W IRISH HE IS - Can't wager on this runner in today's sprint of 6 furlongs. Hasn't even hit the board in a short distance affair recently. Didn't end up on the board on August 16th at Penn National. Followed it up with another lackluster try. When looking at today's class figure, he will have to record a much better speed figure than in the last race to compete in this dirt sprint. SHOT THE SHERIFF - Never really did much at all last time out on Apr 13th. Hard to wager on in today's race. CAPITANO RICARDO - Could be tough for this animal to beat this field off of that last speed fig. Not probable to improve enough to run a figure anywhere near today's Equibase class figure, so put him on the likely underpriced equines list.

CLYDE'S PRIDE - I have all the info you need right here. Dam stats for first-time-starters, winners 50 percent of the time. I like this first time starter mainly because his morning works for this have been here at Santa Anita. The addition of Lasix might make this horse wake up and smell the coffee in this field. GREAT COMMISSION - It looks like Gonzalez had to be in the know about this gelding on February 17th when riding him for the first time. Back aboard again today.

HUDDLE - Not a perfect 'fit' in this race. CELTURIAN - Tough for anyone who saw this pony in his last event to wager on him this time out. The speed figure last time around the track doesn't fit very well in this event when I look at the class rating of today's race. Mark this horse as a likely underpriced equine. FAMOUS ROCK STAR - Tough for anyone who saw this horse in his last event to wager on him this time out.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs Preview and Predictions 04-27-2018

26th April 2018 by Gracenote
The Chicago Cubs' pitching staff has underachieved so far this season - except when they face the Milwaukee Brewers. Having shut out the Brewers three times in five meetings, the Cubs will look for Yu Darvish to keep visiting Milwaukee's bats in check Friday afternoon in the second contest of their four-game series.

After some rocky performances early on, Cubs starters have posted three straight quality starts after Kyle Hendricks scattered four hits over seven innings in Thursday's 1-0 triumph. The loss snapped the Brewers' eight-game winning streak and marked their fourth shutout defeat of the season. Darvish will try to keep Milwaukee's hitters on their heels as he looks for his first win with Chicago. He has posted only one quality start in his first four outings - but it came at Milwaukee on April 7, when he struck out nine while allowing just one run and two hits over six innings.
TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), NBCS Chicago

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers LH Brent Suter (1-2, 5.68 ERA) vs. Cubs RH Yu Darvish (0-2, 6.86)
Suter was victorious in his season debut but is winless in four starts since. The 28-year-old endured his toughest outing yet last time out, yielding five runs and eight hits over five innings of a no-decision against Miami on Saturday. Suter is 1-1 with a 4.19 ERA in seven career games (three starts) versus the Cubs but will make his first start at Wrigley Field.

The fifth inning has been Darvish's undoing in his first four starts with the Cubs, as he has allowed only three runs over the first four frames but 12 in the fifth. The 31-year-old from Japan failed to get out of the fifth on Saturday at Colorado, as he walked four for the second straight game and was charged with five runs in 4 2/3 innings. Darvish is 0-1 with a 3.27 ERA in two career starts against the Brewers.
WALK-OFFS

1. Cubs 2B Javier Baez (18-for-42, three homers, 14 RBIs) and CF Albert Almora Jr. (15-for-39, one, five) are riding career-high nine-game hitting streaks.
2. Brewers 1B-OF Ryan Braun has recorded 101 hits at Wrigley Field, joining Joey Votto (102) as the only active visiting players with at least 100.

3. Chicago LF Kyle Schwarber homered for the team's only run on Thursday and is 15-for-41 with five blasts and 14 RBIs in his last 12 games.

PREDICTION: Cubs 5, Brewers 3

Detroit Tigers vs. Baltimore Orioles Preview and Predictions 04-27-2018

27th April 2018 by Gracenote
the baltimore orioles look to halt their five-game losing streak and avenge a three-game road sweep last week when they continue their nine-game homestand friday against the detroit tigers in the opener of their three-game series. baltimore, which lost three in detroit from april 17-19, dropped a 9-5 decision to tampa bay on thursday for its 13th setback in 15 contests.

anthony santander and adam jones each recorded three hits for the orioles, with the latter belting a two-run homer that ended his 17-game drought. detroit has lost three of four after being edged 1-0 at pittsburgh on thursday. the defeat, which came courtesy of a walk-off homer in the ninth inning, actually was a victory for a tigers' pitching staff that was battered by the pirates for 18 runs in wednesday's doubleheader. leonys martin went 2-for-4 for detroit on thursday, giving him multi-hit performances in seven of his last 12 contests.

pitching matchup: tigers rh mike fiers (2-1, 3.71 era) vs. orioles rh chris tillman (0-4, 9.87)
fiers managed to come away with the victory against kansas city on saturday despite yielding four runs - two earned - and 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings. the 32-year-old floridian has issued just one walk in each of his three turns this season but failed to register a strikeout versus the royals. fiers has won each of his two career starts against baltimore, allowing two runs while striking out 16 over 14 frames.

tillman's struggles this season continued saturday as he surrendered four runs and eight hits - three homers - over six innings in a loss to cleveland. it was the longest outing of the year for the 30-year-old californian, who has given up 19 runs on 30 hits and 11 walks over 17 1/3 frames in his four turns. tillman is hoping to continue the success he has had against detroit during his career as he is 6-1 with a 3.12 era in 10 starts versus the tigers.
