    Analysis

    I simply don't think the Rays should be home dogs sitting 21-9 at Tropicana Field (despite being swept recently). I don't love the pitching matchup for them featuring good-looking Red Sox rookie Connelly Early (5-3, 3.26) against Rays bulk guy Mason Englert (0-1, 4.71), but Englert has been pretty solid of late. Just don't think much of Boston and simply want a one-run game. The teams have played a combined 26 of them. Tampa Bay has dominated the AL East at 14-6.

    Analysis

    After getting burned yesterday by the Orioles' Shane Baz (had a meltdown at the 5.2 innings pitched mark), I'm back to try this market again today. In six starts at Progressive Field this season, Cleveland ace Gavin Williams has thrown at least six innings in all but one of them. His first start at home, in April, went 5.2 innings pitched (so close). Against a powerful Yankees lineup even without Aaron Judge, Williams will look to improve on the 5.1 innings he threw last Wednesday in a road victory.

    Over/Under
    Picked: Jun 8 @ 3:50pm

    Analysis

    No Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton continues for New York. The Guardians have lost three of their last four games and have scored two runs or fewer in all three of those losses. Cleveland sends out Gavin Williams, allowing two earned runs, or less, in three of his last four starts, while Will Warren has also allowed two earned runs, or less, in three of his last four outings. With the Yankees offensive fire power taking a hit without Judge, both bullpen should have success in the later innings as they are two of the best in the AL.

    Bases
    Picked: Jun 8 @ 4:49pm

    Analysis

    Jarren Duran from an average stand point is having a quiet year hitting just .212. The power has been there though, as he has hit ten home runs and is on pace for a career high in that department. Just 3 for 21 to begin this month at the plate, I look for Duran to break out tonight. He had a hit in all three games in the original series against Tampa Bay in May. Dating back to last season he has had at least one hit in eight straight games against the Rays, that features two doubles and a home run. Take Duran’s combination line over.

    Points
    Picked: Jun 7 @ 10:52am

    Analysis

    DraftKings. After a pedestrian Game 1, Mikal Bridges came out guns blazing in Game 2 of the Finals, scoring 20 points on an efficient 8/13 shooting. He’s now cleared this points line in nine of his last eleven games dating back to the Hawks series, as his late season struggles are now well behind him. The matchup does suit Bridges’ shot profile well, as the Spurs were a bottom five team against mid range jumpers this season. Look for the Knicks wing to continue to make an impact in Game 3. I’d bet this to over 13.5 points (for a partial unit).
