Picked: Apr 15 @ 7:57am

Analysis

DraftKings. Eduardo Rodriguez has been excellent this season, yielding just one earned run over his three starts, which includes facing the Dodgers and Braves dynamic lineups. His early success is partly due to his increased reliance on his changeup, which opponents are 4/29 off of, and pounding int the ground with a launch angle of -2 degrees. The outcome is a groundball rate of 51%, which would be a career high for the veteran. He should face a weaker Orioles lineup today featuring their third string catcher (day game after night game) in what’s a getaway day for both squads.

Outs Recorded

Picked: Apr 15 @ 8:49am

Analysis

When looking at pitchers outs and if leaning Over, it's important to know if said team is off the next day because then it could use the bullpen more freely on day-of pitcher play. The Giants play again in Cincy tomorrow, so I sure think the veteran Mahle goes at least five unless he's getting shelled or hurt. Mahle has gone at least five/90 pitches in B2B outings. And pitching in Cincy always means more as he started his MLB career with the Reds in 2017. The SL model has Mahle at 5.7 innings and our other books have him at O/U 15.5. This might flip to that so let's grab it.

Money Line

Picked: Apr 14 @ 10:51pm

Analysis

Atlanta was good to us with a great late comeback Tuesday, and I see no reason why it won't win again Wednesday -- hopefully not with the sweat. The Marlins are at the end of a six-game trip without a day off so on fumes. Plus, 2-6 away. Teams always put emphasis on the final game of a homestand, which is where the Braves are. They are off Thursday, so we shouldn't have to worry about anyone sitting here. Bryce Elder has a 1.02 ERA in three starts. Miami's Chris Paddack (0-2, 6.14) hasn't been any good since his 2019 rookie year in San Diego. -1 would be a solid cheaper alternative if you don't mind the push risk.

PTS + AST + REB

Picked: Apr 14 @ 12:32pm

Analysis

BetMGM is the only book of ours that is showing Andre Drummond for Wednesday's game (it's live) vs. Orlando, and I want to take this now because I think when the rest post it goes to at least 20 if not higher. No Joel Embiid, because of course not, so Drummond should be looking at 30 minutes or so if not hurt or in foul trouble or in a blowout, and I don't see a rout anyways. Not completely out of the question he gets close on rebounds alone as Drummond closed the season with three straight games of at least 12 boards and easily topped this number in each.

Over/Under

Picked: Apr 14 @ 9:18pm

Analysis

The Sixers beat the Magic 2 out of 3 this season, with 2 of the games going over the total, but the last meeting was on January 9th. The first two games went way over the total in the 227.5 range, and now we're looking at a total of 222. Playoff droppage of the total. Orlando won 45 games this year and also went over the total 45 times. I like how the Magic won five of their last six games, scoring 123 or more in four of the wins. They play better when playing freely. In two of the Sixers' wins in their last 10 games, they scored 153 or more. They also scored 126 on Milwaukee Sunday. Over is the play.
