Rotation #77-20
Celtics -6.5 over Mavericks (win)
We cashed in with the Celtics in game one, and I don’t see anything changing in game two. Kyrie Irving was a weak point for Dallas as he played poorly, but I still don’t think it will be enough, even if he plays well. Boston got out to a 29-point lead in the first half and got lazy out of boredom, and once Dallas cut it close, they went on another run. Boston is a superior team physically, and their two-way offense and defense are what separates them from the Mavericks. Boston needs to win today as the series shifts to Dallas. I expect an even bigger blowout. Take the Celtics.

Rotation #961-962
Orioles/Rays Over 7.5 runs (win)
Rodriguez/Littell
Baltimore is on fire, boasting the best slugging percentage in the league and a stellar performance in June. They’ve already won the series’ first two games, but the Rays should put up a fight at home. Baltimore’s potential to score eight runs on their own is a testament to the high-scoring nature of this game. Take the Over.
