NBA + MLB Picks for 5/17/22
NBA

Rotation #535
Celtics +2 over Heat (loss)
The Eastern Conference Finals should be an old-school defense-like battle. Boston has so many great players. Miami has talent, but they go as Jimmy Butler goes. Boston is the healthier team and has a ton of momentum coming into this series. Take the Celtics.
MLB
7:10 PM EST
Rotation #957
Cardinals +110 over Mets (win)
Matz/Walker
The Mets are on top of the NL East, but they face left-handed pitchers the most troubles they have had this year. St. Louis is a good team and will play good baseball tonight. I like the Cardinals as the underdog in this spot with Matz on the mound. Take the Cardinals.
