Rotation # 505
Thunder -5.5 over Pacers (loss)
The Pacers have turned the ball over a lot in this series but have done a good job of not allowing the Thunder to turn those turnovers into points, a trend that doesn’t last long when teams are sloppy with the basketball. The Thunder should win on the boards and in the paint area. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the best player in the game that nobody on the Pacers can defend. The Pacers’ lack of defense, rebounding ability, and Oklahoma City’s ability to steal possessions with active hands should be the difference in this game. Take the Thunder.

Rotation # 916
Orioles -125 over Tigers (win)
Eflin/Mize
The Orioles kryptonite has been against left-handed pitching, but they are outstanding against righties and good at home. Baltimore knows it will be a challenge facing Tarik Skubal tomorrow and knows tonight is their best chance to win in this series after losing last night. Tigers starter Casey Mize has been good this year, but throughout their careers, both starters tonight are about as even in talent as it gets. Baltimore has been playing fantastic but struggles mightily against lefties, which will not be the case tonight. Take the Orioles.
