San Diego Padres @ Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates will look to split their four-game series at home to the Padres when they send Trevor Williams to the mound. The right-hander is coming off a stellar showing in his last start where he held the White Sox scoreless over seven innings. In fact, he’s given up two or fewer runs in seven of his nine starts this season and is 3-1 with a 2.22 ERA at home this year. The Pirates hitters will also look to get back to their best form against a pitcher that hasn’t enjoyed going up against the Pittsburgh line up in the past. Jordan Lyles is 0-5 with a 7.82 ERA in his career against the Pirates, although he is coming off arguably the best outing of his career. After struggling in their last two starts our data shows Pittsburgh once again racking up the runs here, with the odds of San Diego winning this four-game series sitting at just 18% before it started. We love the value on the home team in this one and will happily side with Williams on the mound as well.

NBA Playoffs: Houston Rockets @ Golden State Warriors – Game 3
By Josh Chahal -May 20, 2018
The Warriors will look to bounce back and defend home court when they welcome the Houston Rockets to Oracle Arena.
After taking Game 1 of the series and cementing themselves as favourites the Warriors literally played their worst game of the playoffs in Game 2 to allow Houston a foothold back into things.
While we don’t want to take away the improvements made by Houston, and the impressive adjustments implemented by Mike D’Antoni, things simply haven’t changed in our eyes because of Game 2.
Golden State were horrible last time out and there’s simply no way they repeat that performance in front of their home crowd – particularly Steph Curry.
The two-time MVP was hounded on defence and simply couldn’t get his shot going on the other end, but that’s certain to change sooner rather than later.
We’ve said before that while Kevin Durant is the best player on the court, there simply sin’t anyone more important to the success of this Warriors team than Curry.
We’re confident in saying he’ll feed off the energy the home crowd brings and we’re expecting the home side to come out firing in the first quarter as a result.
The biggest key to Game 2 was the contributions from Houston’s role players, which is something that was non-existent in Game 1 – largely thanks to the defence from the Warriors.
PJ Tuckers shot 8-for-9 from the field as he finished with 22 points while Eric Gordon also found his range as he finished with 27 points, including 6-for-9 from three. As impressive as both were in their contributions there’s simply no way the Warriors allow either of those players to light up in Game 3.
Offensively, we know what we’re going to get from the Warriors and they’ll look to get it going from the start. Defensively however is where the focus will be for Steve Kerr and his side.
They’ll look to force the Rockets into late shot clock situations and get them playing ISO-ball as opposed to the exquisite ball movement we saw from them in Game 2.
The Warriors averaged 50.7% shooting from the field at Oracle Arena this season while holding opponents to just 44.8% in the process. More impressive was the fact they went 39.9% from three-point range at home on the season and that’s the key number for us in this one.
If Curry and Klay Thompson find rhythm early from deep this number should be comfortably covered. We’ll side with the home team to come out strong and establish dominance in the series once again.
