For line moves, we are in baseball heavy territory and have a load of free picks for you. With Game 2 of the NBA Finals quiet so far on the numbers, we turn our attention to Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals for line movement. Take a minute to review all the betting trends and our free picks (202-161-3 run) to see what we are thinking today. See you back here next week.
MLB – (901) CHIC. CUBS at (902) N.Y. METS 7:10 ET CSN-C, SNY (side and total)
Though the Mets Zack Wheeler (2-4, 5.40 ERA) has hardly been effective, baseball bettors feel vilipend towards the Cubs Tyler Chatwood (3-4, 4.10) and dropped Chicago like an anvil from -130 to -110 in Game 2 of this series. Chatwood has walked 45 batters in just 48+ innings and has been working with coaches to find the proper release point. The total has also been affected by these two hurlers, rising from 8.5 to 9. The OVER looks like a sure thing, but just a lean with the Cubs for being the better and healthier team, but keeping my fingers crossed Chatwood doesn't give the game away.
Betting Trend - 70% backing Cubs, 88% on Over
Doug's VPID Take - Lean Cubs, Play Over
MLB – (903) WASHINGTON at (904) ATLANTA 7:35 ET MASN2, FSSO
Atlanta's victory last night over Washington allowed them to hop the Nationals and back into first place in a low-scoring 4-2 battle. On the scoring front, more of the same is expected Friday night has the total slid from 8.5 to 8. The culprits are starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg (6-4, 3.13) and Mike Foltynewicz (4-2, 2.55). Both pitchers have made four quality starts and might be due for an off-game, but nothing really suggests this and Strasburg is 10-1 UNDER in road games vs. NL teams scoring 4.5 or more runs a game.

MLB – (929) MILWAUKEE at (930) CHIC. WHITE SOX 8:10 ET FSWI, CS-C (side and total)
The Brewers are playing excellent baseball and have won five of six and eight of 10 and make another trip to Chicago, but this one will be on the South Side. Milwaukee figures to win this series with ease versus the White Sox, but the Brew Crew is a dwindling road fave, down 25 cents to -130. The Crew's Chase Anderson (4-3, 4.42) has an ERA over 7, which is accounting for the skepticism, with the Sox well-traveled Hector Santiago (1-2, 4.87) having a respectable 3.54 ERA over his last 20+ innings. I cannot get past Milwaukee's 18-10 road record and the Pale Hose at 8-18 at home. The total has nose-dived from 9.5 to 8.5, yet I found Milwaukee is 17-6 OVER on the road vs. lefties and the Sox are 12-2 OVER after three or more losses this season.

Doug's VPID Take - Milwaukee wins, Play Over
