Here’s our best bets for the action ahead:
St Louis Cardinals @ Minnesota Twins
The Cardinals will hope to get back on track in Game 2 of their series with Minnesota and should feel confident having Miles Mikolas back on the mound. The 29-year-old is unbeaten on the year and holds a very impressive 2.51 ERA, which doesn’t bode well for the Twins given their inconsistencies at the plate. Minnesota are averaging just 3.69 runs per game at home this season and have averaged just 3.0 runs per game in their last three home games against the Cards. Lance Lynn showed better control at the mound in his last start and should a similar outing could given St Louis’ batting struggles this week a similar outing should be enough to keep this one Under the total. Our projections are showing a combined 7.4 runs being scored here and we love the Twins to be kept Under their total given the way Mikolas is pitching at the moment. Take the double play here as we look to get things rolling.
Tip: Under 9.5 runs @ $1.83 (Crownbet) & Minnesota Twins TT u/4.5 runs @ $1.75 (Crownbet) (1.5 units)
Milwaukee Brewers @ Arizona Diamondbacks
Both sides are battling injuries upon injuries, and neither team seems able to break out the bats with any consistency. While both will have relatively unknown pitchers at the mound we have liked what we’ve seen from Matt Koch. His control and poise at the mound has been a big factor behind his 2.43 ERA and the fact he was able to keep Washington’s lineup in check gives us confidence he can do the same against the Brewers. The 2-1 win last time out for Arizona saw a combined eight hits and we feel this number is above where it should be. Even in the 7-2 opener between these sides we only saw a combined 15 hits. Take the Unders here at a nice total.
Tip: Under 16.5 hits @ $1.88 (Crownbet)

The Rockets will look to bounce back and keep this series alive when they host the Warriors for Game 2 in Houston.
To put it simply; we cannot see it happening.
Golden State were clinical in Game 1, and none of that came as a surprise.
Kevin Durant was un-guardable, Klay Thompson was making his shots, Draymond Green was getting done on both ends as always and Steph Curry kept the team ticking over, while also putting up forth some strong contributions on defence.
Factor in the second unit which was noticeably more cohesive and you have everything you need for a sweep, which is something we’re not ruling out.
How Houston bounce back will be telling in the opening quarter, but even then they won’t be able to run this Warriors side out the building.
Mike D’Antoni will have a big task on his hands to get his players up for this one given how deflating that Game 1 loss was. Their regular season efforts to secure home court went out the window inside 48 minutes and the energy in the building was sapped by the end of the third quarter.
While the Warriors will continue to get their shots on offence and make Houston work for theirs on the other end of the floor, there’s simply no answer for Steve Kerr’s side when they find their groove.
While Durant deservedly took up the applause for his efforts in leading the Warriors in the series opener we can’t say enough about the importance of Curry on this team.
The man does a lot more than just stretch the defence and score the basket. His ability to control the tempo for his team and constantly make the right decisions is what makes him the most important player on that roster.
Yes, Durant is the best player on that team, but Steph Curry is the most important.
The two-time MVP will have a breakout game this series where he catches fire form deep and if it happens in this one then the Warriors could be a headed back to Oracle Arena looking for that sweep.
While the Warriors did well in hold Houston to 106 points on their home court, the biggest concern for the home side remains their inability to get stops.
Golden State shot 52.5% from the field, including 39.% from deep – and that’s with Curry going just 1-for-5 from three.
We can’t possibly go against the Warriors given the value and what we saw in Game 1. The tempo suited them, particularly in the second half, and unless Houston find a way to get multiple stops they simply don’t have enough options outside their backcourt to run over the Warriors.
