Picks for 5/25/23
NBA
8:30 PM EST
Rotation #550
Celtics -8 over Heat (win)
The Celtics fought hard in Game 4 to avoid getting swept by the #8 seed Heat. Boston is the more talented team. I don’t know if they can get back into the series, but they have a little momentum and will look to stop Miami from advancing to the Finals. Jayson Tatum should be outstanding again tonight, and the Boston crowd should be electric. Look for this series to get interesting after tonight. Take the Celtics.

Rotation #958
Braves -110 over Phillies (win)
Dodd/Nola
The Phillies have the pitching advantage with Aaron Nola on the mound but offensively can’t hit left-handed pitching. The oddsmakers know this, and that’s why this game is close to even when it comes to the odds. Philly is dead last in MLB at on-base-percentage, and it won’t be easy for them on the road tonight against a superior team. Take the Braves
