We doubt the Cleveland defense is going to clamp down as this series moves to Cleveland but we do think their offense will be better and get this one over the posted number. However, we do expect a competitive game here and we think the Celtics have a good chance to either keep this close or even win straight out. They have been the dominant team in this series by far and they have been playing their best basketball of the season during the last six games. We think this is a kind of changing of the guard in the Eastern Conference as the Celtics are going to be even better next season with some players coming back from injury and with some offseason moves. Boston has now covered in six of the last eight meetings between these teams and they are 11-3 ATS in the postseason overall after having one of the best ATS records during the regular season (Cleveland was the worst ATS team). We expect a close, high-scoring game here tonight.

Take 'Over' Texas at Chicago White Sox (7 p.m., Saturday, May 19) 
Two pitchers that I'm not very high on will face one another in Saturday's game between the Rangers and White Sox. Matt Moore gets the ball for Texas. Moore has been a train wreck in 2018 with a 7.82 ERA and 2.00 WHIP. It's surprising that he still has a job in the rotation at this point. There's no way he's going to last all season in this role. He's been hit hard, and his control is all over the place as well. Lucas Giolito is slated to go for the White Sox, and he's had just terrible control so far. Giolito is walking more batters than he's striking out (32 walks versus just 24 strikeouts), and he's been terrible with runners on base. He owns a 6.91 ERA, and I'm not sure he's capable of bringing that down much further. We should see plenty of runs on Saturday, and Guaranteed Rate Field isn't going to help the pitchers. Play the OVER between the Rangers and the White Sox as our Saturday Free Play selection. Doc's is on a 12-5 run on the diamond and is on pace for their biggest season ever with $3,000 in profit in the first six weeks of action

3-unit Play Take #6 Washington Capitals/Tampa Bay Lightning UNDER (7:15pm EST) Big Game 5 tonight in Tampa with the series tied at two games to a side. While it's felt like there have been a ton of goals in this series, only one game has went over the total. These teams are starting to learn each other's tendencies and I think we're going to see less premium scoring chances in today's game. I don't think this game will reach seven goals, so we're on the UNDER.

5-unit Play Take #953 Colorado Rockies over San Francisco Giants (4:05pm EST) Jon Gray is turning into an ace pitcher for the Rockies. His 4.85 ERA this year is scaring bettors away, but don't let it fool you. Gray has a 2.97 xFIP and is pitching even better than the did last year when he went 10-4 with a 3.67 ERA. Gray is striking out 10.2 batters per nine innings and he's only walked 12 batters in 52 innings. It's even more impressive given the fact that five of his nine starts have been in Coors Field. He'll face an underperforming Giants team that has trouble consistently scoring runs this season. The age of this team is really showing, and I see them becoming the Detroit Tigers in a couple of years, maybe sooner. Chris Stratton gets the ball for San Francisco today. There's not much to like from him and his 4.88 ERA, despite pitching in a pitcher-friendly environment at home as well as other very friendly parks in the NL West. Take Colorado this win this one in our MLB Game of the Week.
