NBA

Rotation #507
Wizards +7.5 over Sixers (win)
The Sixers had a great year and locked up the #1 seed.  This was impressive since they have a new head coach.  Washington has looked incredible down the stretch and has been in playoff mode for weeks.  This Wizards team runs a quick pace and has two great guards in Beal and Westbrook.  The first game of the series is typically a feeling out period and in this game the pressure is all on Philly as they have everything to lose with the fans in the city.  Its title run or bust.  Washington should be able to run a quick pace offense and have a chance to steal game one.  Take the Wizards.

Rotation #516
Jazz -8.5 over Grizzlies (loss)
In my opinion Utah is the best team in the NBA.  This team has little flaws and are playing a Memphis team that is super young.  The Grizzlies were impressive the other night going into Golden State and winning on the road, but this is not really a good road team and I just don’t see them coming into Utah with a young head coach and staying in this game.  Take Utah.



MLB
1:05 PM EST
Rotation #976
Phillies -115 over Red Sox (win)
Wheeler/Rodriguez
The Phillies will try to avoid the 3 game sweep against the Red Sox.  Zack Wheeler has been awesome this year and the Phillies hit left handed pitching and get on base a little bit better against left handed pitchers.  Philly lost a tough 4-3 game last night with men on in the bottom of the 9th.  Look for them to grab the win today behind Wheeler avoiding the disaster sweep.
