Chip Chirimbes

Washington at Carolina 7:00 ET

Hurricanes over Capitals- The last time these two met we posted our Power Play winner with the Hurricanes who won 5-0 which raised the home team record in this series to 5-1 with the favorite 6-1 in the last seven meetings. Washington is 2-5 in their last seven as underdogs. Once again the winner is CAROLINA!

Golden State at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET

Clippers over Warriors- There is something going on with the Warriors that we just can't figure out. To start with how can a team with the wealth of talent on their NBA roster possibly blow a 31-point third quarter lead as the No. 1 seed to the No. 8 seed. (This isn't hockey) What has happened here now is that Los Angeles will be playing with extreme confidence returning home where they are 16-15 SU while Golden State is just 19-22 ATS. A piece of negative notes about the Clippers is their win at Golden State was their only 'cover' in their last six games and they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six as hosts against the Warriors. But, things are different now. Take the CLIPPERS!

Denver at San Antonio 9:00 ET

Nuggets (+) over Spurs- The fact that the Spurs have won 13 straight home games against Denver has me wondering way this 'price' is so short. The Nuggets recovered from a 19-point deficit late in the third quarter to post a 114-105 victory and even the series at 1-1. San Antonio has had their way against the Nuggets on the road but not so much at home where they are 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings and when we add that the Spurs are just 2-5 against Denver at home. Take the NUGGETS!

Philadelphia at Brooklyn 8:00 ET

Nets (+) over 76ers- The image of who these team are is different than the way things play out when they go head-to-head. The Nets and Sixers have spit their four regular season games and have split their two playoff games to date with Brooklyn going 4-2 ATS. Philadelphia's Joel Embiid physically dominated Nets center Jarrett Allen in Game 2 but will not be able to commit flagrant fouls without notice this time around. Brooklyn is 23-18 SU at home while Philly is 17-24 ATS on the road. Take BROOKLYN!

Seattle at L.A. Angels 10:07 ET

Angels over Mariners- A week ago Friday the Mariners returned home 13-2 and have promptly lost their last six and now take off to Los Angeles where the struggling Angels who has lost their last three will be hosts. There will be a clashing of trends here are the Angels are 6-1 at home while Seattle is 8-1 on the road. The Mariners have scored just nine runs in their last five games and will start Felix Hernandez (1-1, 4.38 ERA) and they are just 3-10 in his last 13 starts including 3-7 in his last 10 starts in Los Angeles. LA is 12-2 in their last 14 home games. Take the ANGELS!

L.A. Dodgers at Milwaukee 8:10 ET

Dodgers over Brewers- A pair of the NL's most power laden teams go at it once again this weekend in Milwaukee as the Brewers host the LA Dodgers. Tonight Los Angeles who has won four straight will send Julio Urias (0-1, 5.27 ERA) who was pounded for six runs on six hits in five innings in his start last Friday in LA against Milwaukee. The Brew Crew will start Zach Davis (2-0, 1.53) and he is 3-1 with a 2.30 ERA lifetime against the Dodgers. So after this info how is it the Dodgers are favored at Milwaukee. IT DON'T MAKE SENSE!. Take LOS ANGELES!

Toronto at Minnesota 1:00 ET

Twins over Blue Jays- Both of these starting pitchers once played for the 'big boys' in the AL as Michael Pineda (2-0, 3.00 ERA) was supposed to be a Yankees mainstay and Clay Buchholtz (0-0, 1.50) who three a no-hitter when with the Red Sox. Both have thrown well this year as Pineda has put together three quality starts and Buchholtz has allowed just one run in six innings of work. Toronto is just 3-8 in their 11 road games and the Twins have won 15 of their last 21 overall. Take MINNESOTA!

Portland at Oklahoma City 9:30 ET

Thunder (-) over Trailblazers- OKC is down 0-2 and many 'experts' thought that they were supposed to be favorites in the series and must now rebound at home where they are 4-1 against the Trailblazers. There are a pair over powering trends that favors Portland and that is the Blazers are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 road games and the Thunder are 9-19 ATS as hosts. This is a high price to lay but the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take OKLAHOMA CITY!

Boston at Indiana 8:30 ET

Pacers (+) over Celtics- It looks like the Celtics have decided to 'turn it on' and have won their last three games easily including the first two games of this series. Boston has held Indiana to an average of 82.5 points in their pair of wins and the Pacers are 0-10 when scoring less than 100 points in their last 10. Even tho Boston has won the last five meetings (3-1-1 ATS) they are 1-7 SU in their last eight playoff road games. Take INDIANA!  

Toronto at Orlando 7:00 ET

Magic (+) over Raptors- The imposter Raptors are off of their largest margin victory in franchise history in a dominating 111-82 trouncing of the Magic. Orlando who closed the season strong and opened the playoffs with a road win in Game 1 are 4-0 ATS after a SU loss. The Magic have won 13 of their last 14 regular season home games and are 4-1 over Toronto in their last five in Orlando. A rebound game for sure...take ORLANDO!

Toronto at Boston 7:00 ET

Maple Leafs over Bruins- These two have alternated wins and are tied 2-2 with the series returning to Boston where the Bruins are 22-10 overall in their last 22 games. But, Boston has trouble posting two consecutive wins as they are 1-4 following a victory and they are 2-5 in their last seven playoff games as a favorite. Toronto has great recovery skills as they are 6-1 after allowing five goals or more. Take the MAPLE LEAFS!

Philadelphia at Colorado 8:40 ET

Rockies over Phillies- Well, The 'Most Over-rated' player in baseball (according to a MLB poll taken by the players) Bryce Harper of the Phillies is back into his Dave Kingman mode now hitting .250 after a fast start. He and his teammates will face Colorado's German Marquez (2-1, 2.00 ERA) who is 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA in three career starts against Philadelphia. The former 'Wiz-Kids' will start Vince Velasquez (0-0, 2.25) who is 1-1 with a 6.14 ERA at Coors field. The Rockies lost their first five home games but managed to post their first win as hosts last night and I expect the trend to continue. Take COLORADO! 

Chicago White Sox at Detroit 7:10 ET

White Sox over Tigers- Detroit scored a season high nine runs in their win over the White Sox yesterday as they had been held to four runs or less in 15 of their17 games. Tonight, the Tigers will start Jordan Zimmermann (0-2, 4.29 ERA) who allowed five runs on eight hits in three innings against Minnesota last time out. He is 6-4 with a ERA in 13 starts against the Pale Hose including 1-2 with a 7.11 ERA last season. Chicago will start Carlos Rodon (2-2, 3.27) who has not surrendered a homer in 22 innings of work. Take WHITE SOX!

LA Dodgers at Milwaukee 8:10 ET

Dodgers over Brewers- The battle of the long ball continues as the Dodgers Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich match their skills with 10 homers each tied with Khris Davis for the MLB lead with 10. Los Angeles who has won five straight will start Ross Stripling (1-1, 2.92 ERA) who posted his win last Sunday to save the final game against Milwaukee in LA allowing just one run in eight innings and he has a 0.69 ERA in two appearances against the Brewers. Jhoulys Chacin (2-2, 6.52) gets the nod for the Brewers and he is 11-10 with a 4.70 ERA in 27 outings against the Dodgers as he was rocked for six runs in 2.2 innings in that Sunday start at LA. Take the DODGERS!
