The D Backs are a hard team to figure out that's for sure. They are hot then they are cold. Well they have dropped the first two games of this series but I think tonight is the spot to back them here. Neither Gray nor Ray are having a stellar year by any means, but Gray has really struggled against the D Backs in his career with a 6.22 ERA. D Backs get the job done tonight.

PICK - Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-135)
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 929
I see no reason not to back the Dodgers on the -1.5 run line tonight. LA is 11-4 on the road this season with 9 of those 11 wins coming by at least 2 runs. With the way this team can score, winning by at least 2 runs is really not asking a lot.
Not only are they great offensively, they got one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. Today they will throw out ace Clayton Kershaw, who has absolutely owned the Giants. In 48 career starts against SF, Kershaw owns a ridiculous 1.80 ERA and 0.876 WHIP. He's 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA in 4 starts so far in 2020 with a 0.92 ERA and 0.559 WHIP in road starts.
Kevin Gausman will start for the Giants. He's been striking out a lot of guys, but still has a 5.00 ERA over 5 starts. He was great against LA a few starts back, holding them to 1 run on 3 hits in 6 1/3. Some might see that as a positive. Not me. I think LA's offense will be ready for him this time around. Give me the Dodgers -1.5 (-135)!

After winning the first 2 games in this best-of-seven series, Houston has gone out and dropped the next pair of games to Oklahoma City as tonight the teams will play the ever-important 5th game of what has not become a best-of-three series.


One thing I have noticed is that after a little bit of a sluggish start in this series with total points, the scoring pace has started to pick up over the past couple of games. That being the case, go ahead and back the Over here in Wednesday's Game Five.


Each of the last pair of games have ended up landing Over the total to make it 3-1 Over in the 4 games in the books so far. Billy Donovan's team has now gone 6-2 Over the total in their last 8 games played.


Both teams shot the ball extremely well on Monday, the Thunder checking in at 49% with Dennis Schroder pumping in 30 points off the bench. The Rockets ended the night at a very respectable 45% with the Beard, James Harden netting 32 points in the loss.


Going to look for the series Over trend to continue on Wednesday.


Rockets-Thunder Over the total.

Time for the Portland Trail Blazers to wave bye-bye to the bubble!

After spring the Game One upset win over the top-seeded Lakers, Portland has been unable to dent Los Angeles in any of the 3 games that have followed and Monday's setback saw star Damian Lilliard leave the game in the third quarter with a knee injury with just 11 points scored.

The Lakers did lose Anthony Davis in Game 4 with back spasms (he scored 18 points in his 18 minutes), but the game was well in hand, as Los Angeles led at one point by 38 points in cruising to their third straight win and cover.

Liliard is listed as out with a sprained knee and the line on this game has shot from 7 points to right about 13 1/2 points, but that won't stop me from laying the lumber with Los Angeles.

LeBron James had 30 points and 10 assists before heading to the bench to get some rest in this blowout. King James has done what he always seems to do and that is simply take over as he has done time and time again.

The Lakers have now won 7 of the past 10 series meetings against the Blazers and they are 8-2 against the spread in those 10 meetings.

Portland acquitted themselves well in their Florida stay, but it is clear they are now running on fumes. Tonight the tank hits empty.

Lay it with the Lakers.
