OVER 5 BOSTON @ ST. LOUIS | 6/01 | 8:00 PM EDT


12:30 PM
As bad as the Blues played in Game 1, they dominated the Bruins in Game 2 in perhaps the most physical contest of the entire playoffs. If St. Louis repeats that effort, Boston is in for a long night. The Bruins have to answer tonight if they can; their defense must hold up to the expected Blues bombardment. I believe goals will come in this pivotal match, so take the Over.

2-Unit Play. Take #973 Houston (-150) over Oakland (10 p.m., Saturday, June 1)
I will go with the Astros in this one. This is a big series for both teams. Houston is one of the best teams in baseball and they will want to get a big win over their division rivals. The Astros are going with Justin Verlander and they are 41-18 in his last 59 starts. Houston is 23-5 in his last 28 starts and Verlander is coming off extra rest, and he is 13-3 in his last 16 days coming off extra rest. Houston is 8-3 in its last 11 games in Oakland and 35-16 in their last 51 games against the A's overall. Go with Verlander and the Astros here.

OVER 9.5 BOSTON @ N.Y. YANKEES | 6/01 | 7:15 PM EDT


3:34 PM
The Yankees have won eight of Domingo German's 10 starts, and he's been their best starter all season. But he comes off a beatdown in Kansas City where he allowed seven runs. Is the K.C. game just one of those things that happens or is he wearing down? Boston's resurgence has been aided greatly by Rick Porcello. They've won seven of his last eight starts, and nine of his 11 starts have gone Over. Boston has lost its last three, and the Yankees are on a 31-10 run. Over is the top play here.

The Blues found major improvement on both ends of the ice in Game 2 and looked more like the team that got them to this point in the first place. But the Bruins didn't play up to their ability and were forced to play with five defensemen for the final 40-plus minutes of the game. They haven't gotten anything from their top line so far (0 goals for, 3 against at 5-on-5 in the series), but there's too much talent there to be quiet for much longer. The Blues are still taking too many penalties and giving the Bruins' special teams too many opportunities. Look for Boston to show some resilience and bounce back with a strong, high-intensity performance in Game 3 on the road.

It’s no secret that the Diamondbacks are struggling, dropping five in a row. When they need a win, they turn to no one else other than Zack Greinke, who has been lights-out this season with a 2.78 ERA and a 6-2 record. We can’t say the same for Jacob deGrom, teams have been able to get to him early in ball games. I like Arizona, which is top 10 in the majors in hits and runs, to beat up deGrom just enough so that Greinke has a little breathing room to pick up the victory at home. The Diamondbacks are the better team and showcase the better pitcher Saturday night.

Rick Porcello has been lights-out against the Yankees in his career. In his last three starts versus the pinstripes, including the postseason, he has given up two runs total. Boston won all three games, outscoring New York, 18-6. We are finally seeing Yankees pitcher Domingo German regress a bit after his amazing start this season. He got hosed last out for seven runs, losing to the Royals. The Red Sox should pick this one up on the road at a nice underdog line.

TORONTO -135


GOLDEN ST. @ TORONTO | 6/02 | 8:00 PM EDT
3:27 PM
I think this number will drop during gameday with more than 70 percent of the public on Golden State. I think the Raptors could drop to as low as Pick or -1 on Sunday. Toronto's home court will be rocking once again and is worth five points. The Raptors had a great showing in Game 1, flashing their length on offense but more importantly on defense. They have a clear-cut advantage in matchups, and their bench of Fred VanVleet, Serge Ibaka and Norman Powell is also an advantage in this series.


COLORADO -147


TORONTO @ COLORADO | 6/01 | 9:10 PM EDT
3:15 PM
The Rockies' Jon Gray has above average stuff, evident by his 9.32 strikeouts per 9.0 innings. If he pitched for the Padres, Rays or Dodgers his ERA would be well below 3.00, but pitching your home games in Denver has a negative effect on that number. Gray has been extremely unlucky in 2019, with batted balls in play successful at a 31 percent clip, well above the league average of 26 percent. The Blue Jays' Marcus Stroman has consistently been between 3.90 and 4.10 xFIP the last three years. His ERA of 2.74 shows he has been very lucky so far in 2019. Coors Field will not be as kind. My model has the Rockies winning 66 percent of the time.

ST. LOUIS -144


CHI. CUBS @ ST. LOUIS | 6/01 | 7:15 PM EDT
2:52 PM
The home and away splits for both pitchers favor the Cardinals. The Cubs' Jose Quintana has been brilliant in his home starts but quite the opposite on the road. Quintana has been 40 cents below the average pitcher on the road, with a 5.11 ERA. The Cards' Jack Flaherty is coming of a great game versus the Braves going 6.0 innings, allowing three hits and zero runs while striking out seven. At home in 2019 Flaherty boasts a 2.06 ERA while opponents are hitting just .184. The Cardinals lineup stacks up nicely with the Cubs, and if there is any team that is glad May is over it is the Cardinals.

OVER 9.5 BOSTON @ N.Y. YANKEES | 6/01 | 7:15 PM EDT


2:47 PM
Pitching stats can be very deceiving at times. Boston's Rick Porcello had a horrible start to 2019, allowing 14 earned runs in just 11.1 innings. Since that time Porcello has thrown 52.0 innings and allowed just 17 earned runs for an ERA of 2.94. However, he has been very lucky, sporting an individual xFIP of 5.00 or higher in his last four starts. His strikeout numbers are also down over his last three starts with just 11 strikeouts in 19.2 innings. The Yankees' Domingo German started the year with five straight above average starts, however he has had three below average starts over his last four outings. Both offenses are well above average. Take the Over.
