Record: 17-12

Royals +121

Wacha's dialed in (3.54 ERA, 3.0 GB/FB) and the Royals have won 9 of 10. Kremer's 7.04 ERA and 1.56 WHIP invite trouble, and Baltimore's bullpen is worn thin. Live dog here - and the sharps knocking the line down. 

Good Luck!

Record: 62-58-2

Rockets/Warriors UNDER 205 1/2

Books bumped this number after a 247-point Game 5 outlier - don't bite. These teams have gone Under in 7 of 10 meetings, and 4 of  5 this series. Top-10 defenses and playoff pace say this drops back under. 

Good Luck!

Record: 62-57-2

Nuggets/Clippers UNDER 212

These two have gone Under in 11 of their last 13 in LA. Game 6 pressure slows pace, and the Clippers' top-5 defense tightens at home. Expect half-court sets, fewer possessions, and a grinder to the finish. 

Good Luck!

Record: 17-11

Royals/Rays UNDER 8

These clubs are a combined 21-37-3 to the Under, and both rank bottom-third in runs per game. Lugo (1.33 ERA L3) and Baz (2.45 ERA) are locked in, and with day-game pace plus elite bullpens, this profiles as another tight one. 

Good Luck!

Record: 16-11

Tigers ML +123

The Tigers bring promising young arm Jackson Jobe (2-0, 2.70 ERA) against Astros rookie AJ Blubaugh making his MLB debut. Detroit's offense has been absolutely cooking lately, putting up 4.62 runs per game (11th in MLB) compared to Houston's 3.82 (22nd). Sharp money is telling the story here with line movement from +128 to +123 favoring Detroit despite dropping the first two games of this series. With 17.2 mph winds blowing straight out to center field, expect the Tigers' bats to feast on the rookie pitcher while getting a fresher bullpen in their corner. 

Good Luck!

Record: 62-56-2

Lakers -5 1/2 

Despite facing elimination, the Lakers are primed to bounce back at home where they went 31-10 during the regular season. Their three-point shooting advantage (outpacing Minnesota by 5 triples in Game 4) should continue in the friendly confines of Crypto.com Arena. With a stellar 25-7 record as home favorites, the Lakers will lean on LeBron and Luka to set the tone early. The sharp money movement from -4 to -5 1/2 indicates professional bettors believe the desperate Lakers will force a Game 6. 

Good Luck!

Pirates +1 1/2 (-135)

Record: 16-9

Red Sox/Blue Jays UNDER 7 1/2 

Toronto's offense has stalled, scoring two or fewer runs in five of its last six games, while Garrett Crochet's 1.95 ERA points towards another low-scoring matchup at Rogers Centre. Additionally, both starters have strong back numbers versus today's projected line-ups. 

Good Luck!

Record: 62-55-2

Magic/Celtics UNDER 197 1/2

Boston's suffocating defense and Orlando's inefficient offense set up a slow-paced, low-scoring finish. Expect another Under at TD Garden. 

Good Luck!

Knicks/Pistons UNDER 214 1/2 (-110)

The Knicks' offense has hit a serious wall, dropping from their season average of 115.61 PPG to just 109.8 PPG over their last 10 games. Note that these numbers would be worse without the Knicks 40 point 4th quarter in Game 1. New York has gone UNDER in 8 of their last 11 games overall and in 7 of their last 9 road games. Despite these teams trending OVER in 5 of their last 7 meetings, the situational spot and current form point toward a lower-scoring affair. With both teams coming off three day's rest and the Knicks getting torched by Detroit's defense last time out, expect a tightly contested defensive battle. 

Good Luck!
