I think it's now safe to say the Mets have mailed it in for the season now. The injuries have simply caught up with them and they have no interest from here on out. While Godley has had a couple rough starts recently he did face two of the best in the Cubs and Dodgers. I think he will have no problem shutting the Mets down as he has already done once this year.

These two teams and the exact same pitching match up just faced each other last week. The Cubs won 7-6 and I see no reason why they shouldn't win going away here. Cubs have won 3 straight and 4 of 5 going back to that game. Lackey pitched great against them going 6 innings only giving up 1 run, it was the bullpen that let him down. Bailey is just flat out terrible with a 8.44 ERA on the year, 14.33 ERA at home and is 0-4 at home as well. Cubs bats should own him tonight

This offense is really starting to heat up scoring 9 10 and 8 against the Orioles. Lester enters this game possibly coming off his worst start of his career not even getting out of the first inning against the Pirates. That happened right before all star break so he will be motivated here to bounce back and is fresh.

This game here tonight will most definitely be a sharp square divide. The betting public will be all over the Spurs here no doubt as they were completely dominating the game from the get go. Leonard goes down and the Spurs came crashing apart. Leonard is now obviously not 100% here and that is why Coach Pop went public about the play because he knows it will cost them big time. Warriors come out guns blazing tonight

Really like the value here with the Rangers and their ace Davish on the mound. The Rangers are rolling right now during this home stand winning 5 straight. Darvish is rock solid for them with a 2.79 ERA on the season. Eickhoff for the Phillies has yet to record a win and by his recent form of a 8.39 ERA his 3 starts it doesn't look to promising tonight either

With the line being like this with a team that hasn't won a game since April 19th, I believe that is a telling story.

In his two home starts he has yet to give up a run. The Royals were also just swept by the White Sox last week so that is in the back of their mind as well. Covey is nothing special for Chicago here with a 6.91 ERA and even higher than that on the road closer to 8!

The Cavs are well rested and that is the angle I am using here for Game 1. They haven't played in 8 days now and will be hungry to come out with a win. The Raptors were in a very tough series with the Bucks as they put up a bigger fight than probably what Toronto had expected. I think the betting public might be a little hesitant with the Cavs as they only covered one game despite sweeping the Pacers. The Raptors come in covering 3 straight.

Chacin is a guy right now you cant trust on the road even though he has pitched well against the Giants for his career. His road ERA in three starts is 12.56 and is obviously 0-3.

There is a lot of talk now that he media will drive here with a possible Rondo return. It doesn't matter to me if he does or not the momentum has shifted big time here as the Celtics now put their foot down. The Celtics were in full control of both of those games in Chicago and now return home where I expect them to have a huge effort. Let's say Rondo returns here, is he really going to provide a spark offensively with a broke thumb? He could never shoot anyways and that will allow the Celtics to really crowd the paint and take away what he does best and that is drive the ball
