If the Cleveland Indians are going to hang around in either the AL Central or the Wild Card race, they’ll need more games like Saturday and fewer games like Friday. Another close game came down to the wire yesterday, as the Tribe was able to hold on to the lead in the ninth inning and close out a 3-2 victory. That made up for Friday night’s devastating 5-4 defeat.



The Oakland A’s are going to need to win more of those late toss-ups if they want to keep pace with the Houston Astros, but Houston’s 10-1 blowout loss meant no damage in the standings.



The A’s and Indians play the rubber match today at the Coliseum and Oakland is a hefty favorite in the -165 range with a total of 8.5 at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betus/">BetUS Sportsbook</a> in the battle between Zach Plesac and Chris Bassitt.



<h2 id="h-cleveland-indians">Cleveland Indians</h2>



The Indians lost on Friday and won on Saturday, so they failed to gain any ground on the White Sox and still trail by eight games in the AL Central. The undermanned offense is still a detriment day in and day out, but the cobbled together pitching staff in light of the injuries to Aaron Civale, Shane Bieber, and Zach Plesac has performed admirably all season long.



Friday’s setback was another in a long list of them for Emmanuel Clase, who pitched a good eighth inning on Saturday before James Karinchak had a dicey appearance for the save. Nothing comes easy for the Tribe, as they’ve been trying mightily to be positioned for meaningful games in August and September.



The offense really is quite poor. Cleveland ranks 23rd in wOBA, which is a step up from where the team was throughout most of the season. The team’s SLG is knocking on the door of .400 and it’s fair to wonder how much higher the baseline would be without a .271 BABIP, which is one of the lowest in the league.



This will be the second start for Plesac in his return from the IL. The right-hander has a 4.31 ERA and a 4.74 FIP in his 62.2 innings this season. Plesac broke his thumb taking off a shirt, which is a weird sentence to type, but the God’s honest truth. He allowed three runs on five hits in four innings last time out on July 8. With the extended layoff due to the All-Star Break, expect another pitch count for Plesac after making 55 tosses in that first start back.



That means another day with some expectations on the bullpen. Bryan Shaw, Emmanuel Clase, and James Karinchak have all pitched the last two days, so the Indians may need to rely on somebody else for some outs tonight.



<h2 id="h-oakland-athletics">Oakland Athletics</h2>



The A’s are another team plagued by a low BABIP, as their .275 mark has led to a .233 batting average. Oakland has a .313 wOBA to rank 14th in baseball and has a wRC+ of 102, a park-adjusted metric that accounts for the tough hitting environment of the Coliseum. Oakland walks more than Cleveland and hits for more power than Cleveland.



The A’s have a .307 wOBA at home, so we can definitely see the impact that the marine air and the big, spacious outfield and foul territory in Oakland has had on their full-season numbers. The A’s have tried to adopt a similar approach to the Tampa Bay Rays, who also play in a pitcher’s park. Oakland has a 10.4% BB% at home. On the road, they are much more aggressive swinging the bats.



Away from home, Oakland ranks sixth in wOBA and only has a 7.5% BB%. This game is at home, so we don’t have to concern ourselves with that road split, but it is definitely something to keep in mind as you handicap their games going forward.



Fortunately for the A’s, they aren’t likely to need a whole lot of run support today with Chris Bassitt on the bump. Bassitt has a 3.28 ERA with a 3.40 FIP in his 118 innings of work. The All-Star right-hander was supposed to pitch on Friday, but he got a couple of extra days of rest after being in Denver for the festivities. He also pitched an inning in the game.



Bassitt has struck out exactly one batter per inning to go with his elite command, showcasing a .269 BABIP and a 9.2% HR/FB%. He has a 32.8% Hard Hit%, which marks a nice return in that department after allowing a bit more hard contact than he would have liked last season, even though he posted a 2.29 ERA.



<h2 id="h-indians-vs-a-s-free-pick">Indians vs. A’s Free Pick</h2>



Both games in this series have been very competitive, but today’s game looks to be a much more difficult matchup for the Indians. Bassitt is one of the best starters in baseball and Plesac is still trying to work his way back to form during what has been a trying and frustrating season for the kid. Cleveland’s bullpen usage in the first two games after the Break has them in a bit of a bind today. It will be the A’s in this one.

If you are the type of sports bettor who likes to wager on props, you are going to find a home with <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline </a>if you haven't found it already. When you locate a game in the sportsbook interface, just look to the right and you will see a plus sign (or a cross, if that's the way you want to interpret it). Click it and a slew of props will appear. So go ahead and have some fun. And you can create your own head-to-head props between certain players as well.

Let's take a look at some of the props that are available on Sunday's AFC playoff game between the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens, scheduled to take place in Nashville (1:05 PM ET).

Derrick Henry - Rushing Yards

Over 120.5 yards -114
Under 120.5 Yards -114

This may be the prop most people have an interest in. We remember the kind of rampage Henry went on last season, with 896 yards in his last six regular season appearances (149.3 ypg), followed by 182 against New England and then 195 vs.Baltimore in the playoffs.

In those first two post-season games, the Titans were not shy about handing him the ball, as he got 64 carries.

Well, now Henry is on fire again, with three efforts of at least 175 yards in his last six contests. That includes a franchise record of 250 yards last time out against Houston. Earlier in the season, he had 133 yards against the Ravens. So clearly they have difficulty against him.

Baltimore has surrendered 4.6 yards a carry, which is definitely not the best figure in the NFL this season. So going "Over" on this prop is not unreasonable at all.

Both Teams to Score Over 24.5

No -143
Yes +110

I'm going to give you a "yes" here, and I'll be happy to give you my reasons.

One reason is that Tennessee has done it in each of its last two meetings with Baltimore, in games that Ryan Tannehill has started. The Ravens have given no indication that they have been able to put together a defensive scheme to stop Derrick Henry. In fact, who has?

And the Titans with Tannehill have been the NFL's best team in the red zone - with regard to the percentage of times they score a touchdown. We are going back to when Tannehill first took the reins last season, mind you. But they are second best in the league THIS season (76.2% touchdowns).

And remember that when we look at that kind of proficiency, we are often talking about a four-point difference, which is of course the difference between kicking a field goal and scoring a touchdown.

That will work going the other way as well. The Titans' defense has often failed to prevent teams from scoring in the red zone -so often, in fact, that they have given up TD's on 69.2% of those occasions, and only two teams in the NFL have done worse than that.

Let's examine yet another BetOnline prop:

First score of Game is Touchdown

Yes -208
No +144

Okay, let's give you some information that might help guide you on this prop.

Defensively, both of these teams give up a disproportionate ratio of touchdowns as compared to field goals. Tennessee's ratio is 2.57-to-1, which is the second highest ratio in the NFL, while Baltimore's is 2.19-to-1, which is the sixth highest.

On the offensive side, Baltimore is a little more toward the middle of the pack, with a ratio of 1.96 touchdowns for every field goal. But Tennessee is again disproportionate compared to the other teams in the NFL, with a ratio of 3-to-1, which is the third highest in the league.

Based on these numbers, you might just experience some value on the "yes."

Montreal Canadiens vs New York Rangers Betting Pick & Prediction 4/7/24

The play-in games are in the books and the NBA Playoffs are now set for the first round. Much like the NHL on Saturday, the NBA has intelligently staggered the schedule to put games on all day. Action will start with Heat vs. Bucks and then finish up with Trail Blazers vs. Nuggets.

In the interest of lead time on this preview, that battle between the #3 and #6 seeds will be the focal point, as Denver is just a one-point favorite at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a> with a total of 227.5. This seems to be a highly contentious line with money on both sides and some books are even showing Portland as the small favorite.

A competitive game is just what we want from this series and to cap off an exciting day of NBA Playoff action. Is that what we’re going to get?
<h2>Portland Trail Blazers</h2>
Portland beat Denver on the final day of the regular season to narrowly avoid playing in the play-in tournament. It was a big win for the Blazers to avoid that elimination event, so they were able to relax, rest up, and set their sights on the Nuggets. Portland actually fared better on the road with a 22-14 record than at home with a 20-16 mark, so we’ll see if that has any bearing going to the elevation of the Mile High City.

Downtime for Damian Lillard had to be a good thing. Lillard played 67 games for Portland during the regular season and scored 28.8 points per game. He also led the team in assists with 7.5. He has a massive usage rate and played just under 36 minutes per game during the condensed season, so a few days off his feet have to be a positive going into this series.

Is it surprising to see that Portland would be a neutral-site favorite here? Even though the crowds are subdued this season, you still have to give Denver a reasonable home court advantage for the elevation. Portland was just +1.8 in NetRtg during the season. Denver, meanwhile, was +5.0, which was the sixth-best mark in the league. Certainly the loss of Jamal Murray plays a role, but is this game lined too closely?

Portland was right in the middle of the league in eFG% at .540, which ranked 15th. They were worse than that in defensive eFG%, coming in 22nd. Portland did make 38.5% of its three-point shots, due in large part to Lillard and right-hand man CJ McCollum, though McCollum was limited to just 47 games. McCollum does come into this series with 21 or more points in six straight games.

This game may simply come down to three-point shooting. Both Portland and Denver graded well in that department. Portland only shot 50.5% on twos, though, which was one of the worst marks in the league. Denver was bottom-five at defending twos, but 11th against the three.
<h2>Denver Nuggets</h2>
Life without Jamal Murray has been a reality for the Nuggets for a while, so they’ve learned to adjust. The adjustment is a lot easier when Nikola Jokic is having the season that he has had. Jokic has scored 26.4 points with 10.8 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game over 72 games. He was an ironman for the Nuggets and the MVP of the league. He’ll have to keep it up here.

The supporting cast for Jokic is headlined by Michael Porter Jr., who had 19 points per game and stepped into a much bigger role when Murray went down. Porter only played 15 minutes in Sunday’s game and had nine points for the second consecutive game while having his minutes monitored.

It is a pretty stark contrast with Murray and without him. With Murray on the floor, the Nuggets posted an eFG% of 57.1%, but just a 54.4% without him. Not much really changed defensively for the Nuggets with or without Murray, but their three-point shooting suffered and they weren’t able to get as many looks close to the rim. The Nuggets shot nearly 5% worse from 20-24 feet without Murray and had nearly six fewer FG attempts per game inside five feet.

In that respect, you can see why Denver is only a modest favorite at Bovada and not even a favorite at some of the other books. The full-season stats tell only one side of the story.
<h2>Trail Blazers vs. Nuggets Free Pick</h2>
Everybody knows that Jokic and Lillard will get theirs. The supporting casts will decide this game and this series. Jokic and Lillard may even cancel out when all is said and done. McCollum and Porter may even trade score for score. It comes down to the benches and the role guys.

Even though Denver sentiment is low right now, they’ve still been a very solid defensive team in the absence of Murray. With what should be a tighter game with a lot more attention to detail now that the playoffs are here, that’s enough for me to give Denver the benefit of the doubt in Game 1.
