4 Units - #967 Oakland (-115 ) over Texas 6/6 *8 EST
Like the A's in this spot against the aging Bartolo Colon who takes the hill for the Rangers tonight and who has dropped 4 straight. The Rangers cashed in a season high 5 home runs in a 7-4 win last night and the A's are playing with revenge here, and I do not expect Texas to repeat that type of game here. Colon lasted only 4 innings in his last start and the A's their last 5 are hitting a respectable .276 as a team. Daniel Mengden gets the start for Oakland and he is a rock solid and consistent pitcher and the A's are 3-1 on the road with him on the hill. Yes, the Rangers bullpen is better but I see them going to the bullpen early tonight and I also expect Mengden for Oakland to do his thing 6 to 7 innings with better run support.

4-Unit Play. #505. Take Golden State Warriors -4 over Cleveland Cavaliers (Wednesday @ 9:05pm est)
Let's try to make it 4 NBA Winners in a row today. You really a trust a team in Cleveland who shot 9 for 27 from 3 point land last game? Note, that was with 15 points from George Hill, 29 from Lebron, 22 from Love and 11 from Thompson and they still lost by 19 points. What Steve Kerr did for this series is very clever in that he is releasing Andre who has been upgraded for this game. This means that Andre will be guarding Lebron to throw him a little off rhythm once again and Kerr and the Warriors understand how important Game 3 is. Imagine if you are Golden State and you lose this game then Cleveland gets all the momentum in the world similar to their 3-1 comeback win over the Warriors years before. That prompted the "Ultimate Warriors" Shirt for Lebron which caused even more bad blood between these two teams. Make no mistake about it, Golden State hates Lebron's guts. They think he is drama filled and want to beat the tar out of this team even on the road. Another interesting note is Steph Curry has only faced 1 Finals opponent in his life and it is indeed the Cavs and Lebron. Curry is well aware of Cleveland and Durant will likely have another strong game here after Curry balled out in his last contest. Frankly, Durant might leave and take over another team at this point because he got the Championships he wanted and now he has to prove he can carry a team on his own (this is an undercurrent that currently runs through this series as to where Durant will go). We like the Warriors to close the deal here and to go up 3-0 in this series though we do think the Cavs likely win Game 4 and the Warriors likely finish it off in 5 games in Golden State.
