Rotation #511
Sixers -3.5 over Hawks (win)
The Sixers have dominated this series.  This is like men playing against boys, but they had back to back mental breakdowns and allowed a team with no business to win the game actually steal the game.  It’s closing time for Atlanta and close out games are always hard to win for teams that are young and not used to closing out series together as a unit.  I don’t think lightning strikes three times in a row.  Philly is a favorite for a reason and will continue to play in the fourth quarter setting the tone for a must watch game 7.  Take the Sixers.

Rotation #978
Mariners -105 over Rays (win)
Kikuchi/Wacha
The Rays are far from home and weak at hitting left handers.  Michael Wacha’s numbers have been down and he now is used as a 2-3 inning starter and then the Rays go to the bullpen.  I dislike that approach and the Seattle with Yusei Kikuchi on the rubber should get the win at home.  Take the Mariners.
