A Monster weekend of sports betting activities, which includes the Kentucky Derby. The line moves will follow the action in the NBA Playoffs along with lots of baseball. Take a minute to review all the betting trends and our free picks (165-133-5 run) to see what we are thinking today. See you back here next week.
NBA – (513) GOLDEN STATE at (514) NEW ORLEANS 8:05 ET ESPN
If you thought the first two games in this series were wide open, evidently they will be even more so in the Big Easy. Both battles in this series have gone Over and the last contest closed at 229. This encounter is starting at 230 and has flown to 232. Before it's home crowd, you know the Pelicans will be going full bore, but do they really expect to outscore Golden State? Look for New Orleans and the Warriors to play just enough defense and know Golden State is 26-10 UNDER on the road when the total is 230 or higher.
Betting Trend - 53% backing Over
Doug's VPID Take - Play Under
NBA – (515) HOUSTON at (516) UTAH 10:35 ET ESPN (side and total)
Utah astonished basketball fans with an upset of Houston on the road in Game 2. How they did it was also flabbergasting, outscoring the Rockets on offense, not because of their defense. Those betting basketball are not convinced there will be more points than anticipated and they are also prefer the top seed. The Rockets have flown from -3.5 to -4.5 and the total has slid from 207 to 205.5. The thinking has to be the Jazz defense will be stronger at home, but I believe this is too low a figure. I will back Houston who plays with more purpose and is 19-7 ATS away after allowing 115 points or more.
Betting Trend - 66% backing Houston and 85% on Over
Doug's VPID Take - Leans Houston and Over
MLB – (901) PHILADELPHIA at (902) WASHINGTON 7:05 ET CSP, MASN
Washington just swept Pittsburgh in four at home and plays host to another Keystone State team this weekend. Though Philadelphia has the better season record, they have lost three straight series, which is why the Phillies slipping from +135 to +120 is puzzling. I know the analytics crew hates Gio Gonzalez (3-2, 2.67 ERA) and he's 4-11 if the Nationals have won three or more in a row. (Phillies record). But I still like the lefty and see him taking down the slumping Phils in this divisional confrontation.
