5/9 VIP Picks
1-2 for the second straight losing day but it’s out of our control when a starting pitcher Wade Miley gets hurt in the first inning and a home plate ump puts his life savings on an under and has a little league size strike zone in a Red Sox Yankees game. Here are three good value high percentage plays for tonight go get back to winning!
Astros (Cole) (-182) - The Astros come into today’s game with a .353 avg in 68 at bats against Mengden. Cole has held the A’s lineup in check to a .267 avg in 75 career at bats. Look for the Stros to come out swinging early and often today.
Red Sox (Porcello) (+130) - If Price was pitching as scheduled tonight, the Yankees would be the jackhammer play of all jackhammers since the Yanks own him. Since he is being a bitch about it and faking an injury we get Porcello who is a pretty solid pitcher every other year. He’s been on a good year and comes into tonight 5-0. He also went 7 scoreless innings against this Yanks lineup back on April 12. The Sox lineup will be ordering a pu pu platter for nine when they take on Tanaka tonight who they scored 6 earned in 5 innings against him on April 11. The Sox offer great value as an underdog tonight.
NBA:
Celtics (ML) - The Sixers got their win on Monday and they got to drop the confetti for real this time. Hope they enjoyed it because like I predicted before Game Four, this series will be ending tonight in The Garden. The Celtics have outplayed and out coached the Sixers in this series. The NBA also would prefer to avoid this series extending to Friday night so that Game One between the Warriors and Rockets can be on Friday followed by Cavs Celtics on Saturday Night Primetime. First time they’ve been favored in this series and I’m all in on the Celtics tonight ☘️
