The Yankees are off to an excellent start. The Astros are not. But after opening 7-19, Houston is slowly showing signs of getting turned around winning five of their last eight games. |

If the Celtics didn't own enough of an edge against the Cavaliers being the best team in basketball, they also have two added things going their way for today's Game 1 series matchup: Boston is home and holds a huge situational advantage. The Celtics are 39-5 at home. They polished off the Heat in five games with an average winning margin of 22 points during their four victories. The last game in that series was six days ago. Cleveland had to go the full seven games against the Magic in a physical series that didn't conclude until this past Sunday. That isn't enough time for the Cavaliers to fully recover and be ready for this step-up game. The Cavaliers have lost 11 of their last 12 road games. This includes going 0-3 at Orlando with a losing margin of 22.6 points in those playoff games. So, yeah, I see a Boston blowout here. |
