Rotation # 501
Celtics -7 over Pacers (loss)
What’s interesting about this series is that the public has bet heavily on Indiana in every game. The Pacers are a unique team, as their offense is red-hot, but their defense is as bad as it gets. The problem with backing the Pacers is that they allowed the Celtics to go on monster runs in both games. Tonight’s game will be great as the Pacers have been great at home and the Celtics great on the road. Indiana has to shoot around 60 percent to stay in the game, as Boston will get their points and dominate on the glass. The Vegas linemakers are on to something, making Boston a high favorite on the road. Boston will get to the line more and do well in the paint. Take the Celtics.

Rotation #921
Royals -105 over Rays (win)
Singer/Civale
Today, the Royals have a clear advantage in the form of their pitcher, Brady Singer, who has consistently outperformed his counterpart, Aaron Civale of the Rays, this season. Given Civale’s recent struggles, it’s reasonable to expect the Royals to secure early runs. Additionally, Kansas City has a proven track record of performing well against right-handed pitchers, further bolstering their chances of a road win. Take the Royals.
