Rotation #504
Lakers -3 over Warriors (win)
The Warriors were champions last year and will fight not to get eliminated tonight, but they were awful on the road this season. The Lakers can rebound well and are the much better team in the paint. The Warriors need to handle the basketball better, which is never good when on the road. LA defends the three-point line well, which will make it hard for the Warriors to win. Look for the defending champs to go down tonight. Take the Lakers.

Rotation #907-908
Giants/Diamondbacks Over 10 runs (win)
Brebbia/Nelson
The Giants and Diamondbacks both are great against right-handed pitchers. John Brebbia has great strike-out power but must be more accurate and allow many runs due to his walks. Kyle Nelson is a good pitcher, but he is not a starter and has only 62 innings of work in his career, which certainly is too small of a sample size to judge. Look for a high-scoring game. Take the Over.
