Guaranteed Cappers

My selection is on the 'under' between Miami and Los Angeles at 3:10 pm et on Wednesday.

We've seen a couple of fairly high-scoring games with the Dodgers offense leading the way in the first two games in this series. In Wednesday's matinee affair at Dodger Stadium, I'm expecting runs to come at a premium, however. Ryan Weathers will take the ball for Miami. Interestingly, he has held current Dodgers hitters to a combined 6-for-44 at the plate with just two extra-base hits. It's worth noting that Los Angeles has been worse than its season average in terms of OPS in both day games and against left-handed pitching this season. The Marlins will be seeing Dodgers starter Gavin Stone for the first time. Note that Miami checks in 29th in the majors in away OPS this season. The Marlins also rank a disappointing 24th in OPS vs. right-handed pitching. Both bullpens have held up reasonably well lately and neither has seen its key arms get overworked in this series due to the lopsided nature of the previous two contests. Take the under (8*).

Wednesday NHL Free play. My selection is on Florida over Boston at 7:30 pm et on Wednesday.

The Bruins took the opener of this series in stunning fashion, scoring five unanswered goals in a game that broke wide open late in the second period. Here, we'll call for the Panthers to bounce back as they look to even the series at a game apiece before heading to Boston for Game 3. Note that the Bruins are a long-term 34-39 (-19.6 net games) when leading a playoff series including a 2-6 (-8.4 net games) record in that situation over the last three seasons. They're also just 1-6 (-9.8 net games) after winning their previous contest by four goals or more this season, as is the case here. Meanwhile, Florida is a long-term 17-11 (+13.2 net games) when seeking revenge for a home loss by four goals or more against an opponent including a 3-1 (+2.8 net games) mark in that spot over the last three seasons. Take Florida.

My selection is on Indiana plus the points over New York at 8 pm et on Wednesday.

In what promises to be a tightly-contested series perhaps it's no surprise that the underdog Pacers took the cash in Game 1 on Monday. While some see that as a missed opportunity for Indiana, I see it as a building block game as they look to still accomplish what they set out to do in Game 2 and that's steal one of the first two games in New York. Note that the Pacers have thrived in an underdog role, going 84-67 ATS over the last three seasons and 24-16 ATS this season. When seeking revenge for a loss in which their opponent scored 110 points or more, as is the case here, they're 69-53 ATS over the last three seasons and 25-15 ATS this season. Finally, they're 30-22 ATS when coming off a loss by six points or less over the last three seasons and 8-4 ATS in that situation this season. Meanwhile, the Knicks are just 16-18 ATS in their last 34 contests following three straight 'over' results including a 7-10 ATS mark this season. They're also 18-27 ATS in their last 45 games following a victory by six points or less including a 7-9 ATS record this season. Take Indiana (8*).

Wednesday NBA Free play. My selection is on the 'under' between Indiana and New York at 8 pm et on Wednesday.

The pace wasn't there for as high-scoring of a game as we saw in the opener of this series. Both teams quite simply shot the lights out but I expect a different story to unfold in Game 2 on Wednesday. Note that the 'under' is 29-26 in the Pacers last 55 games following consecutive ATS wins including 9-8 in that situation this season. The 'under' is also 10-7 in Indiana's last 17 contests following an ATS victory but SU loss on the road including 2-0 this season. Meanwhile, the 'under' is 70-61 in the Knicks last 131 games with the total set at 220 points or higher including a 29-17 record this season. The 'under' is also 31-24 in New York's last 55 contests as a home favorite of six points or less including a 9-7 mark this season. Take the under.
