PISTONS
Take the Pistons minus the points over the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Detroit did exactly what I expected in its Game 2 win at Boston. They were back in the groove after a week layoff before Game 1 and dissected the Celtics with a balanced scoring attack and relentless defense.
Now they’re back home where they know they can put a stranglehold on the series.
Boston hasn’t won on the road yet this season in the playoffs and now they have to come into the Palace and pull it off.
Sorry, I don’t see it happening.
The Pistons are too deep and too balanced for Boston to pull off that feat.
Just look at the numbers. The Pistons are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games, including 3-1 ATS at home. The Celtics, on the other hand, are 1-6 ATS in their last seven overall and 0-6 SUATS on the road this playoff season.
The straight-up winner is also on a 6-0 ATS run in this rivalry.
I can give you all the numbers to back this up, but it could take all day.
The simple fact is the Pistons are at home with an opportunity to take control of this series. With each passing day Chauncey Billups is getting healthier as well. Detroit has always had quality depth and balance in its scoring and this postseason is no exception.
Take the Pistons minus the points as they grab the win and cover.
10 Dime –
CUBS (With Marquis as listed pitcher)
Take the Cubs for the road win tonight over the Pirates.
It’s getting ridiculous how dominant the Cubs are over the Pirates in these matchups.
The Cubs are 9-1 against the Pirates this season, 4-0 in Pittsburgh and 12-1 in the last 13 meetings.
That’s dominance rarely seen on the major league stage.
Jason Marquis will start for the Cubs and his only two wins on the season have come at the Pirates expense.
The Pirates will start left-hander Phil Dumatrait and the Cubs are hitting a robust .305 against southpaws this season.
Take the Cubs as they grab the road win.
