Zack Cimini

Returning from the bullpen to the rotation Saturday is Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Godley. It should be a good matchup to garner Godley’s capabilities as the Giants rank 26th in runs scored. Factoring in last night’s shutout loss to the Diamondbacks gives pre-determined value on the Diamondbacks. Instead grab the Giants on a low-price bargain buy.

The Trailblazers heartbreak in game two featured every component. After losing a seventeen point lead the Blazers regrouped and had game two won. Yet they couldn’t muster defensive stops and the Warriors were able to take advantage. Instead of expecting the Warriors to get in position to sweep look for the Blazers to take this next phase of the series head on. They still haven’t clicked 100% offensively as we saw in their series against Oklahoma City and Denver. Look for their home crowd to energize them and get the win Saturday. Grab Portland. 

Were at the point in the NBA playoffs were both series are lacking any type of defense. Between the Trailblazers and Warriors three balls, transition baskets, and foul shots are parading frequently. That’s not going to change in game three. Three games in six days is the ingredient under bettors will chase. Yet if anything it will make the defense worse. Grab the over.

The Cubs and Nationals three-game series will conclude Sunday in DC. After a dynamic outing Friday by the Cubs they tailed off Saturday. In a split series look for the Cubs roster to show their might all around Sunday. Kyle Hendricks has regained his true form and the Cubs bats should be able to apply hits on veteran Jeremy Hellickson. Grab the Cubs.
