Preview: Boston At Cleveland

When: 8:30 PM ET, Sunday, May 21, 2017
Where: Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, Ohio

The Cleveland Cavaliers steamrolled their way to consecutive victories in Boston and look to take a 3-0 series lead when they host the Celtics in Sunday's Eastern Conference finals' matchup. Cleveland dominated play in the opening two games and annihilated the Celtics 130-86 in Friday's Game 2 and Boston also will be without point guard Isaiah Thomas (hip) for the rest of the postseason..

The second-seeded Cavaliers are 10-0 this postseason and tied the NBA record of 13 straight playoff wins (set by the 1988-89 Los Angeles Lakers) but Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue asserts that top-seeded Boston is still in the series. "It's one game. I don't care if you win by 200 points," Lue said in the press conference after Game 2. "We're going back home, we're not going to get comfortable. We understand that this is a good team. They're not No. 1 in the East for no reason." Boston trailed 72-31 at halftime and narrowly avoided suffering the worst playoff defeat in franchise history, and there were a lot of sad faces pondering how to recover from such a beat down. "It's hard to take," center Al Horford told reporters. "We've worked really hard and put ourselves in this position to be here. It's been tough for our group. (Game 2) was real rough, there's no other way to put it. It's definitely a low point for our group."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, TNT

ABOUT THE CELTICS: The Game 2 whipping was bad enough but Thomas aggravated a hip injury in the first half and had just two points on 0-of-6 shooting before sitting out the second half. Thomas' play has dropped over the past week and it turns out the hip was examined after Game 6 of the second-round series against the Washington Wizards, and doctors shut him down to reduce the chances of long-term damage. "Isaiah brings a lot to this team, not just with his leadership but his play," shooting guard Avery Bradley told reporters prior to the decision. "Most important, I just hope he's better. I care about him off the floor. I just hope he's OK."

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS: James isn't among the three finalists for NBA MVP honors for the first time since 2008 but he has been unstoppable in the playoffs with averages of 34.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 7.1 assists. James insisted he didn't know about the MVP development prior to the game but he certainly appeared motivated while recording 30 points, seven assists, four steals and three blocked shots in Game 2. "My only job is to try to be the MVP for this team every night," James told reporters after Game 2. "I know what I bring to the table. This league knows what I bring to the table."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. James has scored 30 points in eight consecutive playoff games, the top streak since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had nine straight 30-point efforts in the 1970 postseason for the Milwaukee Bucks.

2. Rookie backup SF Jaylen Brown has been a bright spot for Boston by averaging 14.5 points on 12-of-18 shooting in the first two games.

3. Cleveland PF Kevin Love is 10-for-18 from 3-point range in the series while averaging 26.5 points and 12 rebounds.

Preview: Ottawa at Pittsburgh
When: 3:00 PM ET, Sunday, May 21, 2017
Where: PPG PAINTS Arena, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The Ottawa Senators used a blistering-hot start to put the Pittsburgh Penguins on their heels in Game 3, only to sputter out of the blocks in the following contest and see the visitors even the Eastern Conference final at two victories apiece. Coach Guy Boucher's charges look for a better start out of the gate on Sunday afternoon as the series shifts to PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh for Game 5.

"They played with urgency, which was to be expected. Stanley Cup champions, they bounce back in every series," Boucher told reporters after the Penguins matched their sum goal total from their first three contests of the series to post a 3-2 triumph in Game 4 on Friday. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby set up defenseman Olli Maatta's game-opening goal and added a power-play tally for his first multi-point performance since sustaining a concussion on Washington defenseman Matt Niskanen's cross-check in Game 3 of the second-round series. "As I've said all along here, this group has a knack for responding the right way to any of the adversities or the challenges that this team has been faced with. I think it always starts with our leadership. It starts with our captain," Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said of Crosby, who is one helper shy of becoming the 22nd player in NHL history to collect 100 playoff assists.

TV: 3 p.m. ET, NBC, CBC, TVAS

ABOUT THE SENATORS: Ottawa mustered just three shots in the first three of four power-play opportunities in Game 4 to drop to 0-for-25 with the man advantage in the last nine contests. "I think everybody's frustrated. We just weren't connecting," said Kyle Turris, who was captured on camera jawing with captain Erik Karlsson on the bench. For his part, Karlsson has recorded an assist in back-to-back contests and is averaging a robust 28:25 of ice time in the postseason despite playing with two hairline fractures in his heel that presumably will require attention in the offseason.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS: While Pittsburgh enjoyed its highest scoring output since Game 4 of the second-round series, the focus has shifted to the other end of the ice as a returning Matt Murray made 24 saves to mask the injury troubles of a beleaguered group of blue-liners. Chad Ruhwedel sustained a concussion in the first period following a hit from Bobby Ryan, forcing four of the five remaining defensemen to play more than 20 minutes on Friday (Maatta, 24:58; Brian Dumoulin, 23:29; Trevor Daley, 23:03; and Ron Hainsey, 20:42) while Ian Cole played 19:47. Justin Schultz, who sustained an upper-body injury in Game 2, may return for Game 5 in addition to forwards Bryan Rust (upper body), Patric Hornqvist (upper body) and Tom Kuhnhackl (lower body), Sullivan said on Saturday.

OVERTIME

1. Pittsburgh F Jake Guentzel notched two assists on Friday to increase his point total to 16 (nine goals, seven assists), which is five shy of the NHL rookie record for a single playoff year - set by Minnesota's Dino Ciccarelli in 1981 and matched by Philadelphia's Ville Leino in 2010.

2. Ottawa G Craig Anderson, who yielded three goals on Friday for the first time since Game 5 of the second-round series versus the New York Rangers, has better statistics in the playoffs on the road (2.02 goals-against average, .927 save percentage) than at home.

3. Senators D Mark Borowiecki, who has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since Game 2 of the first round, and F Alexandre Burrows (lower body) "both could be in" the lineup for Game 5, Boucher told reporters on Saturday.

SPORTS WAGERS

CINCINNATI/Colorado Over 9½

One could almost chose either side here because there figures to be a lot of crooked numbers put up by both sides and one of them is likely going to win by two or more. We’re not going to guess which one but this one has the same feel as yesterday’s 12-8 Cincinnati win in which the Rocks were small favorite and with what appeared to be a superior pitcher based on surface stats and that’s precisely the same situation here.

After eight starts, Kyle Freeland is 4-2 with a tremendous 3.13 ERA. He’s pitched at home four times and on the road four times and on the road he’s 4-2 with an ERA of 2.42. Those are outstanding numbers for Freeland after eight starts just like Antonio Senzatela had going into yesterday but like Senzatela, Freeland’s surface stats are an illusion too. Freeland’s great success has had more to do with a high strand % and low hr/f than skill. His xERA of 5.28 shows that he's due for a sizable ERA correction. His command has been lousy (and declining as he's moved up the ladder). His K-rate (29 K’s in 46 innings), swing and miss rate (7%) and first-pitch strike rate (52%) do not offer any hope for improvement. Any pitcher with control problems who puts a lot of balls in play is not a good match for Coors Field or Great American Ball Park. Our scouting report of Freeland stated that his change-up lags behind his fastball and slider in quality, adding that "the 23-year-old’s lack of a dependable third pitch complicates his true outcome." Freeland's poor skills thus far seem to back up that assessment. ERA regression is in the cards for Freeland and so is a trip back to the minors. He’s simply not good enough.

The other pitcher here is Bronson Arroyo, who is the Jered Weaver of the NL. Weaver’s ERA/xERA split is 7.44/6.12 while Arroyo’s is 6.31/6.02. Arroyo has a BB/K split of 13/26 in 41 frames while Weaver’s split is 12/23 in 42 innings. Weaver’s average fastball is 83.6 MPH while Arroyo’s is 84.2. They have identical groundball rates of 34%. Weaver’s hr/f rate is 29% while Arroyo’s is lower but still high at 17%. The only difference is that Weaver pitches at a pitcher’s park in San Diego while Arroyo pitches at one of the friendliest hitter’s parks in the game. Arroyo has a job because Homer Bailey, Brandon Finnegan and Anthony DeSclafani remain out on the 60-day disabled list. When they get back, Arroyo will be on the “for the remainder of his life” DL.

Great American Ball Park is cozy, with 328 and 325-foot corners and 370-foot alleys and these dimensions combine with the shortage of foul territory to provide a hitter's haven on most days unless the wind is blowing strongly in. More often, though, a breeze from downtown blows through a gap behind home plate, providing a gentle but convenient wind tunnel that leads out to centerfield and into the Ohio River. The Air Density Index reading today is a favorable 62.08, which is in the same range as the past two days that provided scores of 12-6 and 12-8 respectively. This one also has the makings of one team scoring 12 and thus, it should once again be a game with a slew of crooked half innings by the time the starters are gone.

Cleveland -101 over HOUSTON

One of the angles foolish chalk bettors in baseball like to play is that the home team will not get swept, therefore the angle is to play that home team after losing the first two games of a three-game series. That would apply to the Astros here and while the Indians could lose this game for sure, if they do it will have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with them winning the first two games of this series or because teams’ don’t get swept at home. It’s a lame angle that many have gone broke from. Think of a coin toss for example. If you flip a coin 20 times and it comes up tails each time or 20 in a row, what are the chances of it up coming up tails again on the 21st toss? If you said 50/50, you would be right because each toss is independent of itself. The same applies to baseball. The odds of the Astros winning today are exactly the same as they would be had this series been 1-1, 0-2 or 2-0 and to treat it as anything else would be foolish.

Joe Musgrove is 3-3 with a 4.57 ERA. This is a 24-year-old kid in his second season and he’s getting a bit too much credit because he plays for the Astros. No question that playing on a good team increases one’s value but the Indians are just as good as the Astronauts and we get the better pitcher. Musgrove went 4-4 with a 4.06 ERA in 62 innings for the Astros last year. This prospect posted a 2.74 ERA, 87/10 K/BB over 85 IP between AA-AAA prior to his August debut. Musgrove lost his big minor league groundball tilt in the transition and he now sits with a groundball rate of just 35% since he arrived here. His dominant start/disaster start slit since his arrival is also weak. Musgrove has skills and he also has an investable future with mid-rotation upside but he’s not there yet. Right now he’s just another risky proposition.

Danny Salazar is being sold short here. He’s also being sold or traded in a lot of fantasy leagues so his stock is very low, wh9ich makes us buyers. Salazar owns a horrible 5.66 ERA and 1.57 WHIP after eight starts but his skills remain some of the best in MLB with 13.5 K’s/9, a 3-1 BB/K ratio and a 17% swing and miss rate. Salazar’s 17% swing and miss rate confirms that his stuff remains electric but a high A 40% hit and 24% hr/f have killed him. A big correction to the good is coming for Salazar so now would be the time to buy.

Chicago +114 over SEATTLE

Derek Holland is not the target here. The target here is to fade Seattle’s Chris Heston, whom we will get to in a minute. Holland is a risk for sure but he has poise, experience and he’s by far more reliable than Heston will ever be. While we’re not buying Holland’s early season success, some of it does have merit. Holland has changed up his pitch mix. He’s throwing a lot fewer sinkers (16%, compared to 59% the past few years) in exchange for a knuckle curve that he is using more frequently (25% in 2017 ---8% -11% 2014-16). He’s refining his game as he goes along and we’ll trust him to last longer than his mound opponent.

After pitching a no-hitter for the Giants in June of 2015, Chris Heston’s season started to unravel and he’s not been the same since. August and September of that year produced a 5.88 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 11 starts. A brief, late-August sojourn to the minors didn’t help and thus, Heston was pegged for a long relief role in 2016. After four appearances in which he gave up six runs with a 3/6 K/BB ratio, the Giants returned Heston to the rotation—in Triple-A Sacramento. In December, the Giants traded Heston to the M’s for a player to be named later. These types of deals are more or less favors. It’s like saying, you take this guy off our hands and we owe you a solid or it’s the repayment of a similar deal between GM’s. The pitching starved Giants wanted nothing to do with Chris Heston.

Heston throws 86 MPH, which is down three ticks from the 89 MPH he was throwing back in 2015. He has appeared in one game since being recalled and it was as ugly as ugly can be. This is a desperation move by a desperate franchise that is not likely to work out well. Most importantly, this mostly career minor league is not worthy of being the chalk on his best day.

Boston at Oakland
Play: Over 8

Boston's Eduardo Rodriguez owns a high BB% of 10.4%, and a poor 4.06 xFIP. Oakland's Andrew Triggs also owns a poor xFIP of 4.05. Boston has averaged a healthy 5.1 runs in 17 road games against righties, while Oakland has averaged an even better 6 runs per game in 8 home games against lefties. We also have Mike Muchlinski behind the plate, and the OVER is 7-2 with him calling balls & strikes this season. The OVER is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings, and 7-3 in the last 10 matchups in Oakland.

BOSTON (-105) over Oakland

We cashed a winning ticket for our “Steam Team” members yesterday on Oakland over Boston, but today we turn the tables and get on the Sox. Manager John Farrell saved his bullpen yesterday, choosing not to use any of the key arms with the hopes of salvaging the final game of the series today. Starter Eduardo Rodriguez has very quietly been one of Boston’s best starters, posting a 3.12 ERA and in his lone career start vs the A’s last year he tossed eight shutout innings. Let’s take the better offense, better starting pitcher and more rested bullpen at a bargain of a price.

Zack Cimini

Cleveland vs. Houston
Pick: Houston

Consecutive home losses to the Indians have devalued today's money line value for the Astros. Pitching consists of struggling veteran Danny Salazar against the unsettled talented young pitcher in Joe Musgrove. Look for Musgrove to build off consecutive wins and for the Astros to win Sunday
