Game# 565-566

Play On: Under 206.5 (10*)

These teams have a combined 8 players that are listing as questionable for tonight’s game. There’s a good chance that most will play and be less than 100% which is typical at this time of year. More times than not, teams in this situation lose more offensively than defensively.

Heat @ Celtics 8:30 PM ET

Game# 561-562

Play On: Under 208.0 (5*)

Boston has played 4-1 to the under in their last 5 at home. Conversely, Miami has seen 4 of its 5 road playoff games go under the total. The Heat hangs their hat on its staunch defensive play. With that said, they won’t take to kindly to Boston hanging 127 points on them in Game 2 while also shooting better than 50%. I look for Miami to be more focused defensively from the start of this contest unlike what we saw in the first 2 games when they allowed 62 and 70-points during 1st half action. Boston is no stranger to playing good defense. They ranked #1 in the NBA on most pertinent defensive categories during regular season action. Both teams are averaging 84 field goal attempts per game during the postseason which equates to a slower than average pace.

Any NBA away team (Heat) with a total of 200.0-209.5 that’s gone over the total in their last 2 games and each by 18.0 points or more, and they have a win percentage of .600-.750, resulted in those games playing 25-7 (78.1%) to the under since 1996.

A’s (Blackburn) @ Angels (Silseth) 9:38 PM ET

Game# 927-928

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Chase Silseth will be making a 2nd ever MLB start. If he comes close duplicating his MLB debut, then A’s hitters will once again struggle. I say once again because Silseth’s debut came against the A’s on 5/13 and he allowed 0 earned runs on 4 hits during 6.0 innings pitched.

Paul Blackburn has been lights out in 7 starts this season with a brilliant 1.67 ERA and 0.90 WHIP. Blackburn has been even better than that in his 4 road starts with a 0.83 ERA during those appearances. The A’s bullpen has been solid on the road this season with a 2.65 ERA. Oakland has been anemic offensively throughout their previous 7 while averaging a paltry 2.3 runs scored per game and managed to hit only 2 home runs. Give me this game to go under the total.

The Nationals have played 9-1 to the under this season when facing a lefty starter.

Speaking of Eric Lauer, he’s compiled a superb 2.60 ERA and 0.98 WHIP during his 6 starts this season. The Brewers bullpen has a solid 2.84 ERA and 1.09 WHIP at home this season. Give me this game to go under the total.

Miami has gone under in 4 straight immediately following an over in their previous game and there was a combined average of 203.7 points scored per contest.

The teams combined to go 54-66 (81.8%) from the free throw line in Game 1. The 81.8% is very good but not shocking. However, the combined 66 free throw attempts was out of character for both teams. During 3 regular season meetings these teams averaged just a combined 41.3 free throw attempts per contest.

Since the 2011 NBA Playoffs, any away underdog of 4.5 or less that’s playing in a Game 2 and is coming off an away underdog ATS loss in which they failed to cover by 20.0-points or less, resulted in those games playing 8-1 to the under. The average total in those contests was 201.3 and there was a combined 193.4 points scored per game. Give me this game to go under the total.

Game# 951-952

Play On: Over 8.0 (5*)

Just as I expected, the public has overreacted to Game 2 easily going under the total of 227.5 during a Memphis 106-101 win. However, the oddsmakers were undeterred by that result and made just a slight adjust to an opening total of 226.5 for Game 3.

Marlins (Luzardo) @ Padres (Martinez) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 957-958

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

I like the situation more than the overall statistics for this to be a low scoring game. Both teams played yesterday on the east coast and had to take the trek across 3 time zones for today’s matchup. Furthermore, the Padres played a double-header at Cleveland and Game 2 of that twinbill went extra innings. More times than not throughout the years teams have what I call tired bats syndrome which produce low scoring affairs. Additionally, teams customarily fly in their slated starting pitchers 24 hours in advance to get their proper rest.

Mariners (Gilbert) @ Marlins (Alcantara) 1:40 PM ET

Game# 975-976

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

This will be a battle of 2 vastly underrated starting pitchers in Logan Gilbert of Seattle and Sandy Alcantara. Both bullpens have been solid thus far. Logan Gilbert has a brilliant 0.40 ERA in 4 starts. Sandy Alcantara has a sparkling 1.78 ERA in his 4 starts. The Marlins are currently a money line favorite of -115. Alcantara has pitched 9-0 to the under at home since last season when Miami had a money line of +125 to -125 and there was only a combined average of 5.1 runs scored per game. Miami’s bullpen has a 3.36 ERA and has made good on 8 of 9 save opportunities. The Mariners bullpen has a very good 2.95 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Give me this game to go under the total.

The Astros Jose Urquidy has made 3 starts versus Toronto since the start of last season and posted a lofty 5.28 ERA while allowing an alarming 5 home runs in 17.0 innings. Urquidy also has an uninspiring 5.52 ERA during 3 starts this season.

Tigers (Pineda) @ Twins (Ryan) 7:40 PM ET

Game# 973-974

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

Detroit has scored only an average of 2.7 runs per outing during 4 road games in 2022.

Joe Ryan has been terrific during his first 3 starts of the season while recording a 1.69 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 16.0 innings pitched. Although Ryan has shown a vulnerability to giving up home runs early in his career, he’ll be facing a Tigers team which has homered just 8 times in 16 games. The Minnesota bullpen has been solid over its last 7 games with a 2.57 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. Give me this game to go under the total.

A’s (Jeffries) @ Giants (Rodon) 9:45 PM ET

Game# 929-930

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

Oakland has scored 2 runs or fewer in 5 of their last 6 games. The A’s have hit only 3 home runs throughout their last 7 games while posting a pathetic team batting average of .186. Oakland’s Daulton Jeffries has seen all 3 of his 2022 starts stay under the total and his 1.17 ERA during those outings was a major reason why. Carolos Rodon has been dominant in his first 3 starts with his new team with a 1.06 ERA and registering 29 strikeouts in 17.0 innings pitched. Both bullpens have been very good to start the year.

Oakland is coming off a 2-0 win over Texas and San Francisco defeated Milwaukee 4-2 during its previous game. Any team with a total of 7.0 or less (Giants) that allowed 2 runs or less in their previous game, versus an opponent (A’s) that’s coming off a game in which a combined 2 runs or fewer was scored, resulted in this specific situation playing 45-11 (80.4%) to the under since 2018. The average total in those 56 games was 6.8 and there were just a combined 5.0 runs scored per occurrence. Give me this game to go under the total.

Jake Odorizzi has been horrible in 3 starts this season with a 9.00 ERA, 2.56 WHIP, and averaging a mere 3.0 innings pitched per start. The Houston bullpen has been great at home but a bit shaky on the road while issuing 17 walks in 36 1/3 innings.

Taylor O’Hearn has a sizable 7.59 ERA and 2.25 WHIP during his 3 starts in 2022. The Texas bullpen has allowed an alarmingly high 9 home runs during 38.0 innings pitched at home and also walked 18 men as well. Give me this game to go over the total.

Game# 535-536

Play On: Over 212.5 (5*)

Memphis @ Minnesota 10:00 PM ET

Game# 517-518

Play On: Over 232.0 (10*)

The first 3 games of this series have seen closing totals of 238.0, 240.0, and 237.0. The sportsbooks have made a huge adjustment to the total in Game 4. The #1 reason for doing so is public perception stemming from the last 2 contests going under the total by a combined 58 points. Another valid reason is that fact that both teams have played at a significantly slower pace than they were accustomed to during regular season action. Much of the reason for that can be traced back to the inordinate number of fouls that have been called during this series. Specifically speaking there been a combined average of 70.7 free throw per contest through the first 3 games of the series. Over the long haul, both teams have been explosive offensively and not very good defensively. Minnesota particularly has shown to be an undisciplined defensive all year. I look for these teams to return to form in Game 4 which will result in a much faster pace and a continuing high volume of free throw attempts.

Minnesota has gone 4-0 to the over in their last 4 following back-to-back contests going under, and there was a combined average of 246.0 points scored per games. Memphis has played 4-1 to the over in their previous 5 after going under in each of their previous 2 contests, and there was a combined average of 237.8 points scored per game. Minnesota has shot less than 40% from the field in each of the previous 2 games. The Timberwolves haven’t shot less than 40% in 3 straight games all season long. Conversely, Memphis hasn’t held back-to-back opponents to less than 40% shooting since 12/4/2021. Additionally, Minnesota hasn’t scored less than 100 points in consecutive games since 11/1/2021. That’s how unusual the last 2 games have been for each team. A return to normalcy is in order. Give me this game to go over the total for a Top Play wager.

Blue Jays (Berrios) @ Red Sox (Pivetta) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 921-922

Play On: Over 9.0 (5*)

Nick Ivetta made 2 home starts versus Toronto last season and had a huge 9.31 ERA while surrendering 5 home runs in just 9 2/3 innings pitched. He will be facing a Blue Jays team which has hit 15 homers through its first 11 games. During 17 career starts at Fenway Park, Pivetta has a lofty 5.49 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. Since 2020, Boston has played 35-19 965%) to the over at home whenever the total was 9.0 or 9.5.

Well, that’s carried over to his first 2 regular season starts in which he had an 11.82 ERA, 2.63 WHIP and gave up 3 home runs while lasting just a combined 5 1/3 innings. Berrios has made 3 career starts at Fenway Park with a dismal 7.31 ERA and 2.06 WHIP. Based on his WHIP in those 3 starts in Boston he’s extremely lucky to have just a 7.31 ERA. Give me this game to go over the total.

Game# 911-912

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

Minnesota @ Memphis 3:30 PM ET

Game# 519-520

Play On: Over 236.0 (5*)

I know this is an extremely highly total for an NBA Playoff game. However, when you have 2 willing partners that are comfortable playing up tempo basketball and possess a multitude of talented offensive players, you can’t be scared away by a big number. Especially so early in a playoff series.

Minnesota has played 6-0 to the over in their last 6 contests whenever the total was 231.5 or greater and there was a combined average of 254.8 points scored per game.
