Picks for 4/28/25
NBA

Rotation # 581
Rockets +4 over Warriors (win)
The #2 seed Rockets are trying to avoid being on the brink of elimination. Golden State might be without some role players, such as Jimmy Butler and Gary Payton, but they have a talented enough bench to make up for it. The Rockets are an outstanding defensive team that must slow down the game’s pace and win the battle on the glass, leading to more second-chance points. Houston is the best team in the league at generating second-chance opportunities due to their league-leading ability to secure offensive rebounds. Look for Alperen Sengun to take over the game and for Houston to even the series. Take the Rockets.

Rotation # 913
A’s -110 over Rangers (win)
Sears/Corbin
The A’s have an outstanding slugging percentage when facing lefties, and they hit the ball well on the road. Rangers starter Patrick Corbin has lost his dominant strikeout power and has not been the same pitcher for almost a decade. The A’s have the best winning percentage on the road in the American League and should take advantage of a Texas team struggling at the plate. Take the A’s.
