NBA Playoff Wednesday Night !!
Yesterday's Premium Play - 3*** Cavs/Atl OV = WINNER
Yesterday's Free Play - Pitt Pirates RL (+135) = WINNER
***Overall can't complain with how the games have gone for a number of days now..We haven;t lost in 3 days and that's the way i like it..Lebron took care of business last night as the Cavs swept the Hawks...The Over come in rather easy as both teams enjoyed scoring in the 4th qtr..Pirates Locke as expected got his comfort level back against a Marlins team that is just in struggle mode right now..Locke goes 5.2 and only gives up 4 hits and 0 ER...Good day for us yesterday, let's see if we can sweep again today.
Today's Free Play (1)
967 KAN (+135) Pinnacle vs 968 NYYAnalysis: Don't look now but the Kansas City Royals are going right into the basement..This team has now lost 3 games in a row and they will be swept by the Yankees......Pump The Brakes, Pump The Brakes!!!....The Royals are just fine gents...Today they will look to avoid that series sweep here Vs. the Yankees and they have a great shot at doing so...Being a Mets fan all i can say is you can't spell Pineda without PINE...Ok, that's besides the point, but the Royals prior to this little 3 game skid won 7 out of 8...This team has not been swept all year as well...The Yankees have enjoyed a little uprising after going 1 for 11 prior to this little 2 game winning streaks...Can't take anything away from the Yankees though, they have put up runs in back to back games now..They have this series at +17 runs right now...Pineda will take the mound for the Yankees today...His ERA is 3.59 and his WHIP is ok at 1.14...My concern here for Pineda is that he has looked rather dull his last two starts. He went 11 total innings and gave up 18 hits and 9ER...He only struckout 5 batters as well....Pineda is still solid with keeping free runners off base...Problem i see here for Pineda is the last time he faced KC, he got bopped...This was on May 15th...Not to long back and he gave up 10hits 5ER and only struck out 1 batter in 5 innings....Pineda is 5-2 on the year and his two losses have been split home and away...He also split his day game starts at 1-1....Pineda usually looks this off when he is dealing with some kind of ailment..Not saying the guy is hurt, but it's worth noting..He isn't right IMO....The Royals will have some serious revenge here after they opened up here and got bombed out of the park just two days ago..Giving up a 10 run inning is nothing to be proud of..I'm sure they heard all about it for the entire day and the entire game yesterday as they lost again for the third time...Fact is, this Royals team is damn good..They are one of the leagues best teams and going through struggles is normal. Even only scoring 3 runs in 3 games, this is still a team i can back on any given day...The Royals will send out Chris Young...He has the chance once again to make the most of his opportunity today..Royals have a bit of a injury bug, but Young can bring some things to the table here today..His ERA is 0.78 and his WHIP 0.75....I won't put a ton of repect into those numbers. He is a 1,2,or3 inning kinda guy...He did however pitch 5 games that he had 5+ innings of work in those contests...His ERA in those games would reflect 0.60 area...Wait, this is actually better...His WHIP is actually about the same...So we are in fact getting a pitcher who has the goods here with Young..He hasn't let his team down this year...His last two games he went 11.2 innings and gave up 10 hits 1ER and 4 BB...He only struckout 4 batters....He has improved all year long and really seems to be at his peak right now...This is a great spot for the Royals in revenge with a pitcher who is trying to prove himself.....If Young goes 5 innings and stays out of trouble the Yankess will have to face the #1 bullpen in the MLB.....KC bullpen ranks #1 in ERA at 1.79...I think the Royals get just what they need from Young and keep the Yankees off balance here with the strong bullpen...Yankess bullpen is above avg, but still have a ERA of 3.23...With how Pineda has looked this can be help if we get bullpen Vs. bullpen come 5th or 6th inning....I think this price is a bargain here for this game..This line will only come down.
MLB Free Play Run / 3-0
Current Combined Run / 6-0
Best Of luck !!
