2 Units - #903 Washington / #904 Atlanta (Under 9) 6/3 *1:35 EST - EARLY START
We have Hellickson (2.60 ERA YTD) on the hill for Washington who we took as a premium play and cashed yesterday with the Nats 5-3 in extra innings. The Nats are favored with him at -115 today, and he faces the Braves Anibal Sanchez (3.00 ERA YTD) today. The last 4 in this series have went Under and the last 16 out of 21 for the Nats have went Under the total, and one of the reasons is their bullpen is SOLID, and have a ZERO ERA in their last 5 games, Unreal. Neither team hitting worth a hoot either, .193 for the Nationals their last 5, and .211 for the Braves in their last 5 games apiece. The Nats got 7 scoreless innings from their bullpen yesterday in a 14-inning game. That said you may think they are both fatigued but I expect both starters to go 6+ innings here which will help.
2 Units on the Under
4 Units #909 Philly (-120) over San Fran 6/3 *4 EST
I like Jake Arietta on the hill for Philly against a 25 year old Derick Rodiguez who makes his first MLB start this year after allowing 4 runs in 3.1 innings in relief his last outing this past week against Colorado, as he replaces Jeff Samardzija in the lineup (he is the son of HOF'er Ivan Rodriquez). With stud Brandon Belt out for San Fran, one of their best hitters and home run leader, and even with Buster Posey coming back today (splitting duty at first base is the rumor) I do not think San Fran will score enough run support. Arietta has a 1.08 ERA his last 3 and threw 7 scoreless innings in his last outing against the Dodgers and is in solid form. Philly 6-2 the last 8 games against San Fran and off a 2-0 loss yesterday, I like them to avoid the sweep here.
asshole waits for someone to post it then posts the write-up when he had it all along/ that's what these forums have turned into, total bullshit.
PLAY: (504) CAVS/WARRIORS OVER 214.5
RATING: 4% PLAY
The Warriors got a huge wake up Call in Game 1 as they escaped with a OT win. In game 2 we will see a focused effort from the Warriors which means they are going to put up points. This CAVS defense is still bad but they haven’t been exposed in the playoffs because of the teams they have played. The Warriors have more offensive weapons than Cleveland and I expect them to push the pace to wear out LeBron by forcing him to have to do the bulk of the scoring once again and if he has to do it all on the offensive end he won’t have the energy on the defensive end. Playing a half court game gives Cleveland a chance to stay in game with a Hot LeBron but in a shootout the CAVS don’t have a chance. My projected total points scored is 221 or more.
