Cleveland Cavaliers -1.5
In one of the tougher and more complicated series in these playoffs, we face a Game 4 with various assortments of confusing information and variables. Both teams picked up huge road victories via blowouts. Boston rarely loses two games in a row at home, especially in the playoffs. LeBron James proved me wrong in Game 3 that he, in fact, can beat the Celtics by himself. This is a perfect example of how bettors can spiral downward and fail to be successful. The majority of bettors who took the Celtics in Game 3 want a rematch and will bet on Boston simply to validate their analysis in Game 3. The fact is, Cleveland is the play. They have made all the necessary adjustments to not allow Boston to breathe any additional life into this series. We are going to hop on the LeBron bandwagon temporarily and take the smart bet here. Game 3's loss is over and done with, do not retaliate - we will get Cleveland back later, but for now, take the Cavs.

Sunday MLB Play-NYY at Boston-GC
On Sunday the Bonus Play is on the Boston Redsox. Game 930 at 8:05 eastern. The Sox have taken it on the chin the last 2 games vs the Yankees. Tonight they will look to salvage the last game of the series. They have solid lefty J. Lester making the start. He has a 3-1 record vs New york and has pitched to a 0.44 era over his last 3 starts. He faced the Yankees earlier in the season here when he wasn't pitching nearly as well. Tonight he will face AJ. Burnett for the Yankees. Burnett has struggled big time in previous 2 starts here allowing 13 runs on 16 hits and 4 home runs in just 10 innings. Boston is 65-32 at home in games where the total is 9 to 9.5 the past few years. Look for the Sox to avenge last nights 14-3 beat down. GC
