Guaranteed Cappers

Baltimore may not be known as one of the “powerhouse” teams in the MLB. However, winning the AL regular season last year, as well as having such a strong record so far this season, they should be much bigger favorites tonight. 

Kyle Bradish (0-0, 1.93 ERA) will get the start for the O’s today. He began the season with an injury, which is why he hasn’t played many innings. Having said that, Bradish is a very talented young arm that proved last season why he’s so good. On the other hand, Mitchell Parker (2-1, 2.53 ERA) will get the start for Washington. Don’t get me wrong, Parker has been solid. But, I believe that he’s slightly over performing at the moment. It’s his rookie season and he will definitely see a reality check soon enough. 

Knowing the pitching matchup, I believe that Baltimore’s got the edges in both pitching and hitting here on Wednesday. This line is very favorable. Take the O’s with confidence.

Score Prediction: 6-2 O’s

Game 1 was a war like expected. Both teams had the chance to win it and it most definitely could’ve gone either way. Looking at the game, the Pacers just didn’t play well enough on the defensive side in that game. New York simply couldn’t miss, especially from downtown (11-23 - 48%.) NYK is a team that averages less than 37% of their 3pters normally. In Game 2, I do not believe that they will shoot as well. Indiana will make the proper adjustments needed and will continue to score like they have all year long. They are the highest scoring team for a reason. Indiana also enters this game w/ a 24-16 ATS record this season when playing as an underdog. Don’t expect Indiana to get out scored again. Pacers win Game 2 and head back home tied at one game a piece. 

Score Prediction: 123-107 Pacers
