It’s a sports handicapper’s dream! Game 7… An NBA game where there’s something serious on the line and you KNOW you’re going to get almost a 100% effort out of most players on the court. Or… is it a nightmare, because both teams are GOOD and it’s like splitting hairs to determine who will get the money? Kevin West breaks down what matters most in the Blazers vs. Nuggets win or go home game 7!
Toronto starter Marcus Stroman has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. You wouldn’t know it looking at his 1-3 record though, When you dive into the numbers, you’ll see that the Jays righty has only had one mediocre start this season, in which he allowed 3 earned runs over 6 innings to the Cleveland Indians (April 7th). Is there betting value on this pitching matchup because of Stroman’s record? Kevin West has your MLB pick!
Kevin West breaks down the high scoring matchup and looks at some very interesting betting angles: “When I think NFL playoffs, I think New England Patriots. How can you not? They’ve been a mainstay in post-season play for as long as I can remember. Also in that picture in my mind, is Foxboro. The Pats seemingly always have home field advantage, don’t they? So leaves one to wonder how Belichick, Brady and Co. have fared away from home. The answer is somewhat shocking. They’re 3-4 both straight up and against the spread.” Does that make you think twice about backing the Pats? West gives his pick.
Kevin West has a strong NBA pick on the Pacers versus Celtics game tonight. Online sportsbooks are gifting the Pacers 6.5 points to take to the TD Garden. Indiana has a recent history of playing the Cs very close. Should bettors expect that to carry into tonight’s contest? K-West breaks it down and offers his Wednesday night hoops prediction!
Minnesota is motivated and playing good ball. At first glance, a 2-3 record in their last five doesn’t turn any heads. When you consider that the losses were to a red-hot Boston team and road games at Portland and Golden State, it’s a less painful site. The team is 6-3 over the last nine games, but what really has merit here is their effort on the defensive end of the court. It’s been very consistent, where they’ve allowed less than 43% in 11 of their last 14 games. Can the T-Wolves continue to be great on defense in the post Jimmy Butler era? Kevin West has your NBA pick.
Phoenix will be without Devin Booker tonight. He’s missed the last four games and the Suns have struggled to stay competitive in those contests, losing by margins of 17, 22, 17 and 4. Booker has missed four other games this season and Suns had the same issue, losing all four of those games by margins of 14, 30, 7 and 21 points. In summary, Booker has missed 8 games this season. The Suns have lost all eight by an average of 16.5 points per game. Kevin West looks at if that’s enough to pick Spurs -12.5.
The Knicks have been playing decent ball as of late, covering 5 in a row and six of their last seven. Even more impressive, most of these games have been vs. formidable opponents including the Blazers, Celtics, Pelicans and at Memphis. Statistically speaking, it appears that the team is putting forth more effort on the defensive end as they haven’t allowed an opponent to shoot over 50% from the field in their past 5 games. Kevin West looks at if this trend is enough to take the Knicks and the points.
