Wednesday’s NBA Playoffs Conference Semifinals betting preview: Wizards at Celtics
Boston All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas scored 53 points in Game 2's overtime win but found points harder to come by in Washington while averaging 16 points in Games 3 and 4.
Washington Wizards at Boston Celtics (-4.5, 215)
Series tied 2-2
The momentum has clearly shifted in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Washington Wizards now look like the team to beat after a pair of convincing home wins evened the series. The fourth-seeded Wizards still need to earn a win on the road to have a chance of taking the series and will try to keep the thrust in their favor when they visit the top-seeded Boston Celtics for Game 5 on Wednesday.
Washington took Games 3 and 4 by a combined 46 points and used a 26-0 run in the third quarter of Sunday's Game 4 to go from trailing to blowing out Boston for the second straight game. "We played inspired basketball for each other," Wizards coach Scott Brooks, who called the run his team's best stretch of the season, told reporters. "Defensively we were in the right position. ... We didn't make silly mistakes that we made early in the game, and it pays off." The Celtics made plenty of silly mistakes and watched Washington convert 20 turnovers in 34 points in Sunday's romp. "If you turn the ball over against these guys, you'd prefer to drop-kick it into the stands so that at least you could set your defense," Boston coach Brad Stevens told reporters. "Their attack in transition killed us."
TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT
LINE HISTORY: The Celtics opened as four-point home favorites for this critical Game 5 and they were bumped up slightly to -4.5 on Tuesday evening. The total hit the betting board at 215 and has yet to move.
INJURY REPORT:
Wizards - No injuries to report.
Celtics - SG A. Bradley (Probable, hip).
ABOUT THE WIZARDS (55-37 SU, 47-44-1 ATS, 57-34-1 O/U): Power forward Markieff Morris overcame an ankle injury and collected 16 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in Sunday's 121-102 win and is not lacking confidence in his team. "For sure it's going to be hard," Morris told reporters, according to the Washington Post, of the prospect of winning in Boston. "They're still a good team. It's Boston, know what I mean? But we feel like we are the better team, even to start the series. This is what we wanted during the regular season when we was chippy and going at it. We wanted Boston in the playoffs. So you go out there and act like that. I think we did the last couple of games." The Wizards go where point guard John Wall takes them, and the All-Star is averaging 27.8 points, 12.3 assists and 2.8 steals in the series.
ABOUT THE CELTICS (59-33 SU, 46-44-2 ATS, 45-43-4 O/U): Boston All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas scored 53 points in Game 2's overtime win but found points harder to come by in Washington while averaging 16 points in Games 3 and 4. Thomas suggested after Game 4 that he wasn't getting the benefit of foul calls while going without a free-throw attempt in the loss. "The refs were allowing them to hold and grab and do all those things," Thomas told reporters. "I think, especially in the third quarter, I might have hit the ground five or six straight times, and I'm not the one that likes hitting the ground. ... I can't be allowed to be held and grabbed every pin-down, every screen."
TRENDS:
* Wizards are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
* Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.
* Over is 6-0 in Wizards last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.
* Over is 5-0-1 in Celtics last 6 home games.
* Home team is 8-0 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

ABOUT THE CELTICS (59-33 SU, 46-44-2 ATS, 45-43-4 O/U): Boston All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas scored 53 points in Game 2's overtime win but found points harder to come by in Washington while averaging 16 points in Games 3 and 4. Thomas suggested after Game 4 that he wasn't getting the benefit of foul calls while going without a free-throw attempt in the loss. "The refs were allowing them to hold and grab and do all those things," Thomas told reporters. "I think, especially in the third quarter, I might have hit the ground five or six straight times, and I'm not the one that likes hitting the ground. ... I can't be allowed to be held and grabbed every pin-down, every screen."
TRENDS:
* Wizards are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
* Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.
* Over is 6-0 in Wizards last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.
* Over is 5-0-1 in Celtics last 6 home games.
* Home team is 8-0 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

Wednesday’s NHL Stanley Cup Betting Preview and Odds
Pittsburgh Penguins at Washington Capitals (-170, 5.5)
Series tied 3-3
ABOUT THE PENGUINS (57-24-7-5, 53-35 O/U): The Pittsburgh Penguins aren't thrilled with the path they've traveled to get to Game 7 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Washington Capitals, but the road ultimately has been kind at the end of their previous trips. Pittsburgh sports a perfect 5-0 record on the road in its previous Game 7 clashes heading into Wednesday's winner-take-all clash with Washington at the Verizon Center. Evgeni Malkin isn't letting his team's recent fortunes cloud his thinking as Pittsburgh has its third and final chance to record the fourth victory of the series. "We won three games before. It's just one more game," the 30-year-old Russian said on Tuesday, one day after scoring a goal to extend his point streak to five games (three goals, four assists) while increasing his playoff total to a league-best 18 points (five goals, 13 assists). Fellow forward Jake Guentzel extended his franchise record for goals by a rookie in a single postseason with his league-leading ninth on Monday and also tied Jaromir Jagr (1991) for most points (13) by a Penguins rookie in a single postseason.
ABOUT THE CAPITALS (62-22-5-5, 42-37 O/U): While the Penguins' 8-7 all-time mark in Game 7s trumps that the Capitals (4-10), the latter boasts a 2-1 mark in series in which it has rallied from a 3-1 series deficit. Washington also boasts the presence of the appropriately nicknamed "Mr. Game 7" Justin Williams, who has recorded seven goals and as many assists and owns a perfect 7-0 mark in Game 7s in his career. Coach Barry Trotz was matter of fact with his response as to why he elected to "demote" Alex Ovechkin to the third line in favor of Andre Burakovsky. "Sometimes you just have to try because if you don't try then you may regret it in the end," the 54-year-old Trotz said on Tuesday, one day after the 22-year-old Burakovsky collected his second straight multi-point performance with a pair of goals in a 5-2 romp. Play-making pivot Nicklas Backstrom recorded his third multi-point effort of the series with a goal and an assist and has a team-leading 13 points (six goals, seven assists) in these playoffs and 24 in 24 playoff games over the past two seasons.
LINE HISTORY: The Capital opened as -165 home favorites in this Game 7 clash and they were quickly bet up to -170. The total hit the board at 5.5.
INJURY REPORT:
Penguins - D T. Daley (Questionable, lower body), G M. Murray (Out Indefinitely, lower body), D K. Letang (Out For Season, neck).
Capitals - No injuries to report.
TRENDS:
* Penguins are 5-0 all-time in Game 7 road games.
* Capitals are 10-3 in their last 13 vs. Metropolitan.
* Over is 4-1 in Penguins last 5 road games.
* Under is 8-2 in Capitals last 10 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game.
* Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Washington.
Edmonton Oilers at Anaheim Ducks (-125, 5.5)
Series tied 3-3
ABOUT THE OILERS (54-28-7-5, 39-46 O/U): Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl recorded a hat trick to highlight his five-point performance in Game 6 and increased his point total to 16 (six goals, 10 assists) in his last 12 games after being held off the scoresheet in his first four playoff tilts. The Oilers own a 6-3 all-time record in Game 7s, although they will play in their first since a 3-1 loss to Carolina in the 2006 Stanley Cup final. Draisaitl's five-point performance was just one better than that of Mark Letestu, who scored two goals and set up two others to increase his point total to 11 (five goals, six assists) in 12 postseason games. Captain Connor McDavid also has five tallies in the playoffs, but surprisingly saw his goal-scoring streak come to a halt in the lopsided victory on Sunday - not that the 20-year-old cares. "It's always a different story. It doesn't matter how we won Game 6, it just matters we won," McDavid said on Tuesday.
ABOUT THE DUCKS (53-26-10-3, 34-38 O/U): The Anaheim Ducks are no strangers to competing in Game 7s, it's just the results haven't been too friendly. With Game 7 losses in each of the last four years and a 2-6 overall mark in the series deciding contest, the Ducks look to alter their fortunes on Wednesday when they play the finale of their Western Conference semifinal set against the visiting Edmonton Oilers. Rickard Rakell scored a goal for the fourth consecutive contest and Corey Perry notched an assist to extend his point streak (one goal, four assists) to three games on Sunday. Injuries remain the primary concern for Anaheim, as Patrick Eaves (foot) was seen with crutches on Tuesday to all but officially rule him out for the fourth straight contest. Kevin Bieksa, who has been sidelined since the series opener, skated prior to practice and is generously listed as day-to-day while fellow defensemen Shea Theodore and Brandon Montour have received significant ice time in his absence.
LINE HISTORY: The Ducks opened as -135 home favorites for Game 7 and the public was all over the Oilers, dropping the moneyline to -125. The total opened at 5.5.
INJURY REPORT:
Oilers - D Andrej Sekera (Out Indefinitely, lower body), D Andrew Ference (Out For Season, hip), RW Tyler Pitlick (Out For Season, knee), D O. Klefbom (Probable, upper body).
Ducks - RW Patrick Eaves (Doubtful, lower body), RW Ondrej Kase (Questionable, upper body), D Clayton Stoner (Out Indefinitely, abdominal), D Kevin Bieksa (Questionable, lower body), D Simon Despres (Out Indefinitely, concussion), RW L. Shaw (Doubtful, lower body).
TRENDS:
* Oilers are 7-1 in their last 8 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game.
* Ducks are 11-2 in their last 13 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game.
* Over is 4-0 in Oilers last 4 overall.
* Under is 5-0 in Ducks last 5 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game.
* Oilers are 4-10 in the last 14 meetings in Anaheim.

WIZARDS AT CELTICS
PLAY: CELTICS -4.5
This has nothing to do with the analysis on the Game Five clash between Washington and Boston. I just wish I knew why the NBA staggers the schedule as much as they do with multi-days off for some matchups where its simply not necessary. I guess it must have something to do with revenue based on TV exclusivity, but I think its ridiculous from a competition standpoint. There’s no reason there needs to be more than one day off between games between the Wizards and Celtics, as travel is clearly not an issue. Play the damn games and let’s move this process along. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers, who really don’t need additional help in the Eastern Conference, are set to enjoy a nice vacation before they have to take the court again.
Anyway, as for Game Five between the Wizards and Celtics, I expect the home court advantage that has been huge in this series through the first four games, to be very much in play again in this matchup. I’m looking for Boston to try to get a little more physical in this game. If they’re able to accomplish that feat, the Washington bench issues are more likely to show up as they did in the first two games.
There’s an argument to be made that the Wizards have been the better team in this series. They could and in fact probably should be up 3-1, as they flat out blew Game Two. I would speculate that the betting action will be close to 50-50 for this game as far as the ticket count goes. I’m looking for what should be an entertaining game, but my view is that the Celtics will get the win. With the betting line being fairly reasonable, I believe the right move is to back the likely outright winner, and for me that will be the Celtics.

TIGERS AT DBACKS
PLAY: OVER 10
Ideal spot for a shootout as the Tigers and Diamondbacks continue their series. Both starting pitchers are having control issues. Boyd, who has been pretty much awful on the road since he arrived in the majors, is surrendering 4.3 BB per 9 innings. Godley has been even worse this season at both AAA and in his one big league effort, registering in excess of five free passes per nine innings. This is not out of character for either pitcher, so there’s every reason to believe patience will be a virtue for the hitters on both sides. Both offenses are capable of producing, and neither bullpen inspires much confidence. Breeze doesn’t figure to be much of a factor here The oddsmakers have compensated for what certainly appears to be a mediocre pitching matchup with a double digit number. Even so, I can see this turning into a shootout and I’m going to play the Tigers and Snakes to go Over the number.

San Francisco at New York
Play: Under 8
This should be a lower scoring game here today as Mets have T. Milone making his debut against M. Cain for SF who has gone under in 3 of 4 road May starts. SF has played under in 8 of 11 vs .500 or less teams and 7 of 10 days games where they are hitting just .200. The Mets hit .200 at home. This game fit a totals system that is 16-2 to the under since 2004. play the under for non division home favorites like the Mets with a total that is 8 or less if they are off a home favored win by 5+ runs and had 10+ hits vs an opponent off a road loss that had 2 or less hits. Look for this game to stay under today.

MLB | SEA vs PHI
Play on: UNDER 9 -115
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Wednesday EARLY Free Pick UNDER 9 runs in Philadelphia Phillies vs Seattle Mariners @ 1:05 ET - After yesterday's crazy 10-9 Mariners win don't be surprised if we see a pitchers duel this afternoon in Philly. The weather will be decent with rather mild temps but the wind will be blowing in and I like this pitching match-up for shutting down the hot hitting of yesterday. Neither lineup is familiar with the hurler they are facing this afternoon (typical of an interleague match-up) and both have been in solid form of late. Yovani Gallardo gets the start for the Mariners and he has settled in nicely with a 2.95 ERA over his last 3 stars with 17 strikeouts in about 18 innings of work. The right-hander will be opposed by Zach Eflin of the Phils. He got hit a little but at Chicago in his most recent start but that was a solid Cubs lineup and he managed to minimize the damage. Overall he has a 2.57 ERA in his last 3 starts with 0 walks in the 21 innings spanning these 3 starts. The Mariners have never faced Eflin and it's been four years since Gallardo faced the Phillies so there is truly a lack of familiarity for both lineups here. Look for the under to improve to 3-0 in Gallardo's last 3 starts. Also, the under was 6-2 in the Phillies last 8 home games prior to yesterday's slugfest. Look for things to return to normal here. Free Pick on UNDER the total in Philadelphia in early afternoon action Wednesday. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach
