Rotation #554
Nuggets -3 over Suns (win)
The Nuggets have a phenomenal record on their home court, and the Suns are a terrible road team. I think Phoenix has a shot at advancing in the series because of their star power, but for game one, the Denver crowd will set the tempo as the Nuggets will win behind the play of NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. Denver has the best field goal percentage in the NBA this year and is excellent at scoring in the paint. Take the Nuggets.

Cardinals +120 over Dodgers (loss)
Montgomery/Kershaw
rThe Cardinals are in the basement of the NL Central, but it’s a great division and early in the season. Many people will go with Kershaw at this price at home, but Montgomery has been a solid career pitcher, and the Cardinals are the best team in baseball in slugging percentage against left-handed pitchers. Conversely, the Dodgers have the worst average against lefties in the entire league. Take the Cardinals.ite up coming
