Alperen Sengun o35.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (-115)

The Houston Rockets have struggled on offense in this series, but Alperen Sengun has been a lone bright spot. The big man is shooting 45.6% on a team-high 19.8 field goal attempts through the first four games, leading the Rockets with 22.3 points per contest. Not only has Sengun led the team in scoring, but he’s been Houston’s leading rebounder and a key facilitator, averaging 11.5 boards and 4.3 dimes.

Boston Red Sox Moneyline

The Blue Jays still have no clue at the plate plus they are going with a bullpen day against the Red Sox today.

Toronto are 2-8 over their last 10 games.

The Lakers this evening. I know no one likes to lay -230, but I am somewhere in between laying the money line and sucking it up at -5.5. I like both plays, you’ll probably see a post for the unfair advantage picking something – but only one or two units I think. If you’ve read my posts, you know I’m a little bit of a conspiracy theorist when it comes to the NBA… Sports in general really… But how can the Lakers lose this game five? Especially after the league missed a call in Minnesota, I don’t think LeBron and Luka get bounced not just by the Timberwolves, but by the refs? Point being, I think they may get a call or too early which sets the tone. I like the Lakers at home. I’m not sure if they can come all the way back and win the series anymore, but I like them to at least extend it. And when they do, assuming it’s not on a 50% plus shooting effort… I may consider playing them in game six as well. Not that there is any reason to believe right now the Lakers will go into Minnesota and win the game…

But for tonight, Lakers, and a very determined LeBron and Luka.

Rays under 8.5 kc starts a rookie today so not a lot of scouting reports on him while the rays go with Rasmussen who is pitching rather well this year! I don’t look for Cameron to pitch a lot of innings but do look for the bull pen to keep the rays in check! 3-2 rays!

LAA under 8.5

The total has gone under in 9 of the last 13 Angles games and 6 of the last9 against Seattle. Good luck

TB -.5 1st 5 inn -125

Rasmussen off to great start this yr plus he is 3-0 2.13 vs KC

NBA

Both teams bring their own strengths to the table: Los Angeles relies on the skills and experience of their two stars, while Minnesota leans on a robust defense and well-coordinated team play. With about four days between the previous and upcoming matchups, we believe the more seasoned Lakers players will have ample time to recover and address any shortcomings. The hosts are poised to stay in the series and deliver their best performance yet.

Seattle Mariners ML -145, Mariners one of the best teams in the league vs lefty’s

Sorry but this is bullshit. To blatantly use someone else’s write up is plagiarism and this is copywrite violation. If you can’t write your own reasoning don’t post period.

Enjoy your time on the bench.

What makes them so good against LHP? Record? Stats etc is needed to support this claim.

Just because you say it doesn’t mean it’s true without supporting your reasoning.

Enjoy some time off.

Jets in Regulation. I like the jets to bounce back and put in a strong effort at home. The Blues have been playing well but I expect more energy and urgency from the top team ion the west coming back home tonight

Houston. Rockets moneyline

Houston has come close to winning every game in this series so far.
Expect a solid effort and an easy victory. engin gets easy looks in game 4 and that continues tonight. Draymond will be in foull trouble the whole night allowing rockets to manhandle inside.

Miami over9:5 The total has gone OVER in 5 of Miami's last 5 games.

Braves -1.5 -175

Do I. Even need to say anything ? This Rockies team is putrid.
