At 7:10 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New York Yankees (979) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (980) listing both starting pitchers Domingo German and Bobby Miller. THE SITUATION: New York (34-25) snapped a two-game losing streak with a 6-3 victory against the Dodgers yesterday. Los Angeles (35-23) has lost two of their last three games.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Yankees have played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after winning their last game — and they have played 12 of their last 16 games Over the Total after scoring five or more runs in their last game. They give the ball to German who has a 3-3 record with a 3.98 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP in 10 starts. The deeper sabermetrics call for some regression with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 4.11 and 4.8 moving forward. And while the right-hander has a 3.19 ERA, a 0.74 WHIP, and an opponent’s batting average of .155 in five starts at home, those numbers rise to a 5.01 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, and an opponent’s batting average of .212 in his five starts on the road. He faces a Dodgers team that has played 4 of their last 5 home games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers — and they have played 5 straight Overs against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower. New York has played 4 of their last 5 road games Over the Total on the road — and they have played 4 of their last 5 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. Los Angeles has played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after a loss — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after allowing five or more runs in their last game. They counter with Miller who is making his third career MLB start after posting a 2-0 record with a 1.64 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP in his first two games. The sabermetrics indicate he is overachieving with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 3.70 and 3.34 moving forward. The Dodgers have played 4 straight Overs at home — and in their last 24 games against teams with a winning record, the game finished Over the Total 18 times.
FINAL TAKE: The Over is 12-3-1 in the Yankees’ last 16 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower — and New York has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. 8* MLB Sunday Night Discounted O/U Deal with Over the Total in the game between the New York Yankees (979) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (980). Best of luck for us — Frank.
At 8:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Miami Heat (515) plus the points versus the Denver Nuggets (516) in Game Two of the NBA Finals. THE SITUATION: Miami (57-46) looks to rebound from their 104-93 loss on the road against the Nuggets as a 9-point underdog on Thursday. Denver (66-32) has won seven games in a row while taking a 1-0 lead in this series.
REASONS TO TAKE THE HEAT PLUS THE POINTS: The Heat were ice cold in the first half on Thursday as they missed 13 of their last 17 shots from behind the arc while going into halftime with just 22 points. Miami was sluggish. We can blame their struggles in their adjustment to the high altitude in Denver. We can blame the team’s decision to sacrifice a good night’s sleep on Monday after they won their Game Seven in Boston against the Celtics. The conventional wisdom is that players recover faster if they stay over to get a good night’s sleep rather than get on an airplane and arrive in a new city that evening. But the decision sets up Miami better for Game Two since it provided them another ten hours in the altitude to help their acclimation. Sunday night’s game will be the team’s sixth day in Denver — so they should be fine. The Heat shot better in the second half — they made 15 of their 22 shots (68%) from 3-point range. While it may be too much to ask for Miami to make 39.0% of their 3-pointers in Game Two as they did in getting through the Eastern Conference side of the playoff bracket, they should be more effective than their 19 of 39 shooting (33%) from behind the arc on Thursday. And the Heat will be fully committed to being more aggressive in attacking the rim rather than settling for midrange jump shots — they only attempted two free throws as a team in Game One. Miami went into halftime trailing by 17 points — but they have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games after trailing by 15 or more points at halftime of their last game. They have also covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a straight-up loss — and they have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a point spread loss. Additionally, the Heat have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games on the road — and they have covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 road games against teams with a winning percentage of 60% at home. Denver played their best defensive game in their last nine contests by holding Miami to just 40.6% shooting from the field. But the Nuggets have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 11 games after covering the point spread in three straight games. They have also failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after winning seven games in a row. And in their last 11 games played when playing for just the second time in seven days, Denver has failed to cover the point spread 9 times.
FINAL TAKE: Miami began to find some rhythm in the fourth quarter when they went on an 11-0 run. Head coach Erik Spoelstra played more zone in the fourth quarter while using Haywood Highsmith as the primary defender on Nikola Jokic. Highsmith scored 18 points in Game One — and the Nuggets only scored 18 points in the 19 possessions that the Heat was deploying a zone defense. Miami has covered the point spread in 9 of their last 11 games when avenging a double-digit loss on the road to their opponent. 10* NBA Miami-Denver ABC-TV Special with the Miami Heat (515) plus the points versus the Denver Nuggets (516). Best of luck for us — Frank.
At 8:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Miami Heat (515) and the Denver Nuggets (516) in Game Two of the NBA Finals. THE SITUATION: Miami (57-46) looks to rebound from their 104-93 loss on the road against the Nuggets as a 9-point underdog on Thursday. Denver (66-32) has won seven games in a row while taking a 1-0 lead in this series.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: Both of these teams should shoot better — especially from 3-point range. The Heat were ice cold in the first half on Thursday as they missed 13 of their last 17 shots from behind the arc while going into halftime with just 22 points. Miami was sluggish. We can blame their struggles in their adjustment to the high altitude in Denver. We can blame the team’s decision to sacrifice a good night’s sleep on Monday after they won their Game Seven in Boston against the Celtics. The conventional wisdom is that players recover faster if they stay over to get a good night’s sleep rather than get on an airplane and arrive in a new city that evening. But the decision sets up Miami better for Game Two since it provided them another ten hours in the altitude to help their acclimation. Sunday night’s game will be the team’s sixth day in Denver — so they should be fine. The Heat shot better in the second half — they made 15 of their 22 shots (68%) from 3-point range. While it may be too much to ask for Miami to make 39.0% of their 3-pointers in Game Two as they did in getting through the Eastern Conference side of the playoff bracket, they should be more effective than their 19 of 39 shooting (33%) from behind the arc on Thursday. And the Heat will be fully committed to being more aggressive in attacking the rim rather than settling for midrange jump shots — they only attempted two free throws as a team in Game One. Miami has played 6 straight second games in a playoff series Over the Total. They have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total when playing with two days' rest. The Heat have now played five straight Unders while not giving up more than 104 points in three straight games — but this situation sets up to be a higher-scoring contest. Miami have played 8 of their last 11 games Over the Total after not allowing more than 105 points in two straight games and they have played 14 of their last 21 games Over the Total after playing two straight games where no more than 205 combined points were scored. Additionally, the Heat have played 41 of their last 64 games Over the Total after playing two straight Unders — and they have played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after playing four or more Unders in a row. Miami has also played 10 of their last 14 games Over the Total on the road — and they have played 6 of their last 8 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage of 60% or higher at home. Denver left plenty of points on the table themselves in Game One despite making 50.6% of their shots. They only scored 45 points in the second half while cruising to the victory. They only made 8 of their 27 shots (30%) from behind the arc. The Nuggets make 39.1% of their 3-pointers when playing at home in their Ball Arena. Denver has a significant size edge against the Heat — and it seems like they can take advantage of this whenever they please to do so. They opened Game One by scoring 18 of their first 24 points inside the paint. Aaron Gordon scored 12 points in the first quarter dominating over the smaller Gabe Vincent guarding him. Nikola Jokic only took one shot in the first quarter — but he assisted on six buckets. Denver went into the fourth quarter with a 21-point lead with Jokic scoring or assisting on 69 of their 84 points. In the end, Jokic scored 27 points on just 12 shots from the field. The Nuggets did not really need to lean on the Joker in Game One — but it does not look like Miami has an answer for him when Denver needs a basket. Denver is still rested after getting a ten-day break after completing their four-game sweep with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nuggets have played 12 of their last 19 games Over the Total when playing for no more than the third time in ten days. Furthermore, Denver has played 33 of their last 52 home games Over the Total when favored by 6.5 to 12 points — and they have played 13 of their last 21 home games Over the Total with the Total set in the 210-219.5 point range.
FINAL TAKE: Miami has lost all three of their games with the Nuggets this season — and they have played 24 of their last 34 games Over the Total when playing with double revenge and they have played 12 of their last 16 games Over the Total when playing with triple revenge. 25* NBA Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Miami Heat (515) and the Denver Nuggets (516). Best of luck for us — Frank.
