Game: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Memphis Grizzlies
Time: Thursday 04/24 8:00 PM Eastern
Pick: First Half UNDER 95 (-107) at 5Dimes
The Memphis Grizzlies did what they needed to do, and got the series equalizer in game two. It is all about the defense for the Grizzlies, as their offense is limited, but their game translates well in the playoffs as they are a half-court team. They have learned a lot about Oklahoma City, a team that bombed them for 116 points in the first meeting in Memphis this season. They held them to 87 points in the second meeting at home, and 56 points total in three of the four quarters. I look for them to come out on the defensive, limit possessions, and frustrate the Thunder on the offensive end. Oklahoma City has been around the playoffs long enough to know that they need to come here ready to match that intensity or they will be in trouble. Before the free throws spoil a bid for the full game UNDER, play the first half UNDER.

Kevin's Pick(s):
We split two underdog picks last night for a very small profit. The Royals had their chances but went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position. We will take it and move onto Thursday where we have a smaller MLB board and one play going.
2 UNIT = Oakland Athletics @ Houston Astros - UNDER 7.5 RUNS (+110)
Listed Pitchers: Kazmir vs Oberholtzer
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.20 units)
These two teams played a three game series last weekend, with the Athletics sweeping the Astros at home. They move to Houston where we will see the same pitching match up we saw on Saturday afternoon when the As walked off with a 4-3 win. That game was 3-1 heading into the bottom of the 9th before the Astros bullpen blew it. Scott Kazmir will go for Oakland, while Brett Oberholtzer is on the mound for Houston. Kazmir is 2-0 with a 1.65 ERA, .173 OBA and 0.77 WHIP over his 4 starts. He held Houston to 6 hits and 2 earned runs with 5 strikeouts over 8 innings on Saturday. Oberholtzer is 0-3 in his 4 starts but still has solid numbers with a 3.04 ERA, .239 OBA and 1.14 WHIP. He went 5.2 innings vs the As on Saturday giving up 8 hits but just 1 earned run. He has allowed just 1 earned run in each of his last two starts. The UNDER is 7-2 in the A's last 9 games as a favorite and 5-1 in their last 6 vs a left handed starter. The UNDER is 7-1 in the Astros last 8 vs a left handed starter, 9-1 in their last 10 vs a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15, and 9-4 in their last 13 home games dating back to last season. The UNDER is also 5-0-1 in Oberholtzer's last 6 home starts and 8-0-1 in his last 9 starts overall. I'll take the UNDER 7.5 tonight as I expect another pitchers duel type game tonight between these two.
