Rotation #532
Hawks +2 over Sixers (loss)
Home court means so much in these playoffs. Atlanta won game one and Philly won game two. I think these are two evenly matched teams. Both teams play good defense and protect the three point line well. I do think Atlanta has a little bit more energy in them. Both teams have the ability to make runs as we saw in the first two games. Atlanta is a lot quicker to the ball and if they move it well you see the Philly Defense break down. The Hawks did a good job to tilt home court in their advantage and I believe will cash in tonight. Take Atlanta.

Rotation #920
Red Sox -125 over Blue Jays (win)
Richards/Stripling
Garrett Richards numbers are a little bit better than Ross Stripling. Richards walks are a little high, but he doesn’t give up the homerun ball which is a big plus against a Toronto team that has power. Boston beat up Ross Stripling in the prior meeting this year and I expect them to do so again today. I like the Boston bullpen a little better as well. Take the Red Sox.
