Baltimore Orioles vs. Chicago White Sox Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

21st May 2018 by Gracenote
if nothing else, the chicago white sox have proven they have the ability to beat up on last-place teams in the american league in what has been an otherwise forgettable season. the white sox take on the one al cellar-dweller they have yet to face monday, when they host the opener of a four-game series against the baltimore orioles.

chicago (13-30) doubled its home win total for the season over the weekend by taking three of four from al west-worst texas after entering the set with a 3-15 record at guaranteed rate field. the rangers joined al central-worst kansas city (5-2) as the only teams the white sox have defeated in a series or recorded multiple victories against in 2018. the orioles (14-32) could be ripe for the picking to join the dubious group given they own major league-worst 4-19 road mark, although they have stabilized a bit by going 6-5 over their last 11 overall games following an 8-27 start. baltimore stopped its 13-game losing streak away from home friday in boston but fell to 1-15 in its last 16 such contests despite recording 13 hits in sunday's 5-0 setback against the red sox.

pitching matchup: orioles rh andrew cashner (1-5, 4.83 era) vs. white sox lh hector santiago (0-1, 5.29)

cashner held philadelphia scoreless until the sixth inning but still dropped his fourth straight decision wednesday, permitting three runs on five hits and three walks while fanning six in 5 2/3 frames. one of the sorest spots for the 31-year-old has been the long ball, as he has given up at least one blast in six straight turns and 11 overall. welington castillo is 5-for-12 and jose abreu 4-for-6 versus cashner, who is 0-2 with a 4.61 era in four career appearances (two starts) against chicago.
santiago did not factor in the decision wednesday at pittsburgh despite allowing only two runs on two hits and three walks over five innings. the 30-year-old native of new jersey has dropped eight consecutive decisions (seven of which came in starts) and failed to earn a victory since defeating the white sox on may 9, 2017 while with minnesota. santiago is 1-0 with a 3.80 era in seven career appearances (four starts) against baltimore.
walk-offs

1. the orioles failed to homer sunday for the first time in 13 games.

2. chicago rookie lhp jace fry has yet to allow a hit while striking out 12 over the first 8 1/3 innings of his major-league career.

3. baltimore of adam jones went 3-for-4 on sunday but left with an illness in the seventh inning, leaving his status for the series opener unknown.

prediction: orioles 5, white sox 3

Kansas City Royals vs. St. Louis Cardinals Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

20th May 2018 by Gracenote
the st. louis cardinals attempt to take advantage of a team in an even deeper funk when they host the kansas city royals on monday for the opener of their i-70 series. st. louis has gone 0-1-3 in four sets since sweeping two- and three-game home series against the chicago white sox and cubs, respectively, to begin the month.

the cardinals posted a 5-1 victory over philadelphia on sunday to earn a split of their four-game set as tyler o'neill went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in his ninth major-league contest, while fellow rookie jack flaherty registered 13 strikeouts en route to his first career win. kansas city was battered 10-1 by the new york yankees on sunday for its ninth loss in 11 games. the royals managed just four singles in the setback - including two by hunter dozier, who has recorded a pair of two-hit performances in six contests this campaign. kansas city was outscored 18-4 by new york in back-to-back defeats and has allowed fewer than five runs only twice in its last 12 games.

pitching matchup: royals rh ian kennedy (1-4, 4.98 era) vs. cardinals rh miles mikolas (5-0, 2.63)

kennedy looks to end a seven-start winless streak after escaping with a no-decision at tampa bay on tuesday, when he surrendered five runs on seven hits and three walks across six innings. the 33-year-old californian has not been victorious since scattering four hits and striking out eight over six scoreless frames at cleveland in his second turn of the season on april 7. kennedy has not fared well against st. louis in his career, going 3-6 with a 7.41 era in nine starts.
mikolas is coming off the shortest start of his first season with the cardinals - and first in the majors since 2014 with texas, a 4 2/3-inning effort at minnesota on wednesday in which he gave up two runs and seven hits en route to a no-decision. the 29-year-old floridian has yielded fewer than three runs in six consecutive outings after allowing four in each of his first two turns. mikolas has yet to face kansas city in his career but is 2-0 with a 2.08 era in four appearances (three starts) at busch stadium.
walk-offs

1. royals of jon jay, who spent the first six years of his career with the cardinals, has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games and 34 of 44 this campaign.

2. kansas city has hit into a major league-high 49 double plays this season, with c salvador perez leading the way by hitting into eight.

3. o'neill's homer on sunday - his second in as many days - was the first by a st. louis cleanup hitter at home this year.

prediction: cardinals 7, royals 3

Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

21st May 2018 by Gracenote
the los angeles dodgers were headed nowhere fast less than a week ago, but somewhere along the way on their trip to the east coast, they became the hottest team in the national league. los angeles sets its sights on a season-high fifth straight victory monday, when it returns home to face the colorado rockies in the opener of a three-game series.

the dodgers fell to 16-26 after suffering six straight losses to division cellar-dwellers cincinnati and miami to match its worst 42-game start since leaving brooklyn for los angeles in 1958 before mercifully ending their skid with a 7-0 victory over the marlins on thursday. with injuries wreaking havoc on their rotation in particular, the defending nl champions showed their grit by marching into washington and completing a three-game weekend sweep of the nationals, who had won 13 of their previous 15. los angeles' mini-surge has left it five games out of first place in the nl west and 4 1/2 behind second-place colorado, which settled for a series split in san francisco over the weekend despite winning the first two games in convincing fashion. the rockies remain one of the majors' best road teams in light of the consecutive losses with an 18-11 away record, including an 8-3 mark this month.
tv: 10:10 p.m. et, at&t sportsnet-rocky mountain (colorado), sportsnet la (los angeles)
pitching matchup: rockies rh german marquez (2-5, 5.15 era) vs. dodgers rh walker buehler (2-1, 2.67)

marquez had the misfortune of pitching opposite jordan lyles and his perfect-game bid tuesday in san diego, taking the loss after serving up a two-run homer to eric hosmer while allowing six hits over five innings. the 23-year-old venezuelan is 2-2 with a 2.25 era on the road, but he has struggled out of the gate on a regular basis, posting a 13.50 era in the opening frame. marquez made both of his career starts versus the dodgers last year, giving up seven runs - five earned - over 10 innings in a pair of no-decisions.
buehler encountered his first rough outing in five big-league turns wednesday in miami, failing to factor in the decision after surrendering five runs - four earned - while recording seven strikeouts in five innings. the native of kentucky had not permitted more than two runs in any start prior to the outing, giving up a total of four in 22 frames while striking out 27. buehler has not yielded a homer in either of his first two starts at dodger stadium, where he has gone 0-1 with a 1.64 era.
walk-offs

1. dodgers of matt kemp is batting an nl-best .455 with runners in scoring position.
2. colorado 3b nolan arenado has recorded a pair of two-hit performances and two three-hit efforts over his last six games - a stretch during which he is batting .423.

3. after hitting one home run in 88 at-bats prior to going on the disabled list at the end of april, los angeles of yasiel puig has belted four in 33 at-bats since his return.

prediction: dodgers 6, rockies 2

NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game 4 betting preview: Celtics at Cavaliers

Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers (-6.5, 206.5)

Celtics lead series 2-1

For all the excitement they've provided as the overachievers in the NBA playoffs, the Boston Celtics have struggled to find success on the road, a trend they will try to reverse when they take on the host Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday. The Cavaliers followed up a pair of double-digit losses in Boston to begin the series before rolling to a 116-86 win in Game 3 back home.

Cleveland raced to a 20-4 lead and never looked back against a Celtics team that shot 39.2 percent from the floor and made six 3-pointers, their lowest total this postseason.

"The toughest team sets the rules," Boston point guard Terry Rozier told reporters. "They came out aggressive from the jump and never looked back. We've got to play aggressive from the tip. Tonight, we were all over the place, playing too fast and doing things we didn't want to do."

LeBron James scored 27 points on 8-of-12 shooting - including 3-of-3 from 3-point distance - and handed out 12 assists in a dominant all-around effort that got his team back in the series.

"Even when things broke down, we just covered for one another," James told the media. "We made them make extra passes. We made them make extra dribbles. We were flying around, and I just happened to be one of the guys on the floor that wanted to fly around as well."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

SERIES PRICE: Cavaliers +105, Celtics -125 (Betway.com)

LINE HISTORY: Cleveland opened as 6.5-point home chalk for Game 4 and briefly went up to -7 at some books before returning to the opening number. The total hit the betting board at 205.5 and has yet to move.

INJURY REPORT:

Celtics - PG Shane Larkin (Out Indefinitely, Shoulder), PG Kyrie Irving (Out For Season, Knee), PF Daniel Theis (Out For Season, Knee), SF Gordon Hayward (Out For Season, Ankle).

Cavaliers - No injuries to report.

MATCHUP CHART:



ABOUT THE CELTICS: Boston is 1-5 on the road in the playoffs but it knows that a victory would've been elusive no matter where they played Game 3. "If we would have played like that in Boston, we would have gotten beat," coach Brad Stevens told reporters after his team also tied a playoff low with 16 assists while getting outrebounded 45-34. Jaylen Brown is averaging 11.3 points on 42.3 percent shooting in the past three road games - compared to 23.3 on 59.6 percent in the past three at home - after being limited to 10 points with one assist and three turnovers in Game 3.

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS: Starting guards George Hill and J.R. Smith combined to make six 3-pointers and score 24 points Saturday after they put up a pair of clunkers in Boston, while reserve sharpshooter Kyle Korver made all five of his shot attempts - four from long range - en route to 14 points in 20 minutes. Another complementary player stepped up on the defensive end as center Tristan Thompson stifled Celtics big man Al Horford, who was limited to seven points in Game 3 - his first single-digit showing since March 20. "You've got to give a lot of credit to Tristan because Horford is really the one that makes them go," teammate Kevin Love told the media. "[Horford] can play a little bit of the point forward. He can do a lot of the intangibles that even for their team might not show up on the box score as well. But he did a great job on him tonight, and he's done a great job on him the last two games."

TRENDS:

* Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.
* Under is 4-0 in Celtics last 4 road games.
* Under is 5-0 in Cavaliers last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.
* Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.

CONSENSUS: Early consensus numbers show 52 percent of spread bets are coming in on the chalk Cavaliers while 58 percent of totals wagers are on the Over.

NHL Eastern Conference Finals Game 6 betting preview: Lightning at Capitals

Tampa Bay Lightning at Washington Capitals (-125, 6)

Lightning lead series 3-2

The Washington Capitals looked unstoppable after posting two straight road victories to open the Eastern Conference finals, but one week later they are fighting for survival as they host the Tampa Bay Lightning for Game 6 on Monday night. The Capitals have dropped three straight, including Saturday’s 3-2 setback in Tampa Bay, as the Lightning moved within a victory of their third trip to the Stanley Cup finals and second in four years.

“A lot of people counted us out when we were down 0-2 (to Columbus) in the first round. Things got hard in the last series (against Pittsburgh) and we could have melted, and we just kept playing,” Washington defenseman Matt Niskanen told reporters. “So that’s what we’ve got to do again. Bring our best effort for Game 6 at home, win a game, and then we’ll go from there.” The Capitals battled back after falling behind 3-0 in Game 5, outshooting Tampa Bay 26-9 in the final 40 minutes, and hope to carry that momentum over on home ice where they are 3-5 in the postseason. The Lightning have won five of six on the road in the playoffs and goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy has been outstanding in three straight wins while turning aside 100 of the 106 shots he has faced to improve to 11-4 in the postseason, but they know there is plenty of work to do. “We have a lot of unfinished business. This isn’t even close to being over,” Tampa Bay right wing Ryan Callahan told reporters. “This last game is definitely the hardest. … To go in their building and try to close them out, it’s going to be tough.”

SERIES PRICE (PER SPORTS INTERACTION):



LINE HISTORY: The Capitals opened as -130 moneyline favorites for Game 6 but money coming in on the visiting Lightning has brought that number down to -125 on game day. The total hit betting boards at 6 and has yet to move off the opening number.

ABOUT THE LIGHTNING: Callahan, along with "fourth line" mates Cedric Paquette and Chris Kunitz, have played a big part defensively against the Alex Ovechkin unit the last three games and contributed two goals and two assists in Game 5. “They played a winning role for our team and they inspire everyone,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper told reporters. “They pull our team into the fight, that’s what they do.” Right wing Nikita Kucherov notched an assist in Game 5 to take over the team lead with 17 points, one better than captain Steven Stamkos and fellow center Brayden Point, while left wing Ondrej Palat has at least a point in three straight contests and 12 overall.

ABOUT THE CAPITALS: Washington gave up a goal in the first minute in each of the first two periods Saturday after trailing through the opening 20 minutes in both Game 3 and 4 at home, forcing it to chase the Lightning most of all three contests. “We know we’ve got to come out with a better start at home, give our fans something to cheer about, and play the brand of hockey at home that we’ve had so much success (at) over the past years to this point,” defenseman John Carlson told reporters. Center Evgeny Kuznetsov has scored in four consecutive games and owns at least a point in eight straight to break the franchise record for points in a single postseason (22).
