Can’t say I was able to watch those games without internet at the new house but we had one HELL of a night! 4-0, 5-0 if you took our lean, and our 2 unit MLB bet hit too. Let’s get more of THAT – sending these picks out from my phone with my big dumb thumbs so don’t expect this to look as pretty ha—
NBA Picks:
Bucks -2.5, 1.5 units
This is the most predictable bet you’ll see from me but in this industry if you don’t trust your instinct and your numbers, you’ll be lost, quick. Middleton out is a huge loss, Chicago plays “better at home,” (not by much), we get it. This is a Giannis takeover game (his PAR line is at 56, an insane number, for a reason). Good luck, Chicago!
Parlay— Hawks win 1H and 1H over 113.5, 1 unit to win 2.32 units
We don’t count parlays in our overall record, remember that, but my calculations say that we hit way more than we don’t. This one makes too much sense. Great setup for ATL at home, where they play considerably better, and Trae will want to put up points quick to gain an edge and throw off Miami’s spacing on defense. Adebayo is also a little banged up heading into this, which could free up space in the paint.
Suns -1, 3 units
We already sent out this play and you already know how I feel about it. New Orleans is a feisty, solid group that’s growing before our eyes and has a ton of potential in the seasons to come. The Suns LIVE for these moments, even without their star in Booker, and you can expect them to be very well prepared on both sides of the court. Anticipate a really thorough defensive effort (I lean under— I capped it at 213) and a creative game from CP3. Phoenix has more than enough depth to easily win this contest. Big time value on the road favorite at a cheap price — we’re buying!
MLB Picks:
Rays/Red Sox under 8.5, to win 1 unit
The Rays bats are due for a cool off session and I think these two aces can go into the 6-7th inning. 8.5 feels about 2 runs too high.
PS— Expect limited MLB plays the next few days. Without internet, I can still roll with NBA. That’s a little more difficult to do with a sport I don’t have the same prowess in.
