Arizona Diamondbacks vs Cincinnati Reds Betting Pick & Prediction 5/7/24

<strong><u>Philadelphia</u></strong><strong><u> Phillies</u></strong>

The Philadelphia Phillies deserve a lot of credit. There’s nothing I hate more than a team that makes a run and rests on its laurels. For the Phillies, that run actually died before the final month of the regular season, but it’s pretty clear that they don’t want to let it happen again.

The Bryce Harper signing grabbed all the headlines, but I was very excited with the Phillies offseason signings of David Robertson, Andrew McCutchen, and Jean Segura long before Harper signed his mega deal. No offense to Phillies fans, but I’m actually frustrated about the Harper signing because it has effectively taken away any value we had in backing this team.

Now the Phillies are front and center on everybody’s radar. Add in all of the articles being written about Nick Pivetta’s breakout and we won’t even be able to back him. The pendulum may have swung in the other direction, honestly, as the Phillies will likely be overvalued in the marketplace. Those are hard bets to make.

Philadelphia went 80-82 last season with some extremely pronounced splits, as the Phillies were 49-32 at home and 31-50 on the road. Philadelphia went 2-8 over the last 10, 6-14 over the last 20, and 10-20 over the last 30. This is a team that was 70-62 and in the playoff hunt before a disastrous last 30 games. In fact, the Phillies were in first place as late as August 12. They finished 10 games out.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Money Line Spots</u></strong>

Meh. As mentioned, so much value has been extracted from this team with the Harper signing. McCutchen and Segura were a great combo at the top to add some batting average and on-base percentage to a lineup lacking the former. That might have flown under the radar a little bit. When you sign Harper, the radar blows up.

So, what does that leave us with? Well, the Phillies were bad on the road. Citizens Bank Park does slant towards offense, but scoring 63 fewer runs on the road was a surprise, even with Marlins Park and Citi Field in the division. In fact, the Phillies did only score 29 runs in nine games in Miami and 28 runs in nine games at Citi Field. They were shut out twice in Queens. In the other 63 road games, the Phillies still only scored 3.96 runs per game. I’m not entirely sure why that is, but this year’s lineup is significantly better. Maybe we can prey on that a little bit.

There won’t be any value in Aaron Nola, but there is usually very little value in fading a guy like Aaron Nola. I’ll talk about Pivetta and Vince Velasquez down the way.

I do think Jake Arrieta is a guy we may get some value on. Arrieta pitched hurt last season and also had some philosophical differences with Gabe Kapler and the front office. With some time to iron those things out, and improved defense across the board, that’s a guy I’ll be looking to play in spots.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Totals Spots</u></strong>

The top of the Phillies lineup has been completely rebuilt with Cutch, Segura, and Harper. Oh, yeah, and they went ahead and added probably the best offensive catcher in baseball in JT Realmuto. I’m really intrigued to see how this plays out. Even though the advanced metrics looked a lot better for Pivetta and Velasquez, Nola was the only starter with an ERA under 3.96. Arrieta was at 3.96, with Pivetta at 4.77, Velasquez at 4.85, and Zach Eflin at 4.36.

This makes it tough to bet and set totals. Oddsmakers will likely inflate Philadelphia totals because of the offensive skill set of the lineup. Because of the way I study baseball, I expect Pivetta and Velasquez to positively regress in the direction of their FIPs. Pivetta’s was 3.80 and Velasquez came in at 3.75. I already mentioned that I like Arrieta moving forward.

The Phillies defense was an atrocity last season. Nola had an 82.5 percent LOB% because he’s awesome and apparently good enough to work around it. Pivetta was at 69 percent. Velasquez 66.8 percent. Eflin 68.4 percent. Arrieta 68.1 percent. League average for starters was 72.6 percent. The offense will be better, but so will the pitching staff. What that means for totals remains to be seen.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Individual Players to Watch</u></strong>

<strong>Nick Pivetta – </strong>Pivetta is getting a ton of run. Eno Sarris re-ran a <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/enosarris/status/1108441569923747840">piece from last year</a></strong>. Mike Petriello <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/mike_petriello/status/1108455162979454977">chimed in</a></strong>. David Adler had this <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/_dadler/status/1108511102042865664">eye-opening tweet</a></strong>. There’s a lot more out there. Look, Pivetta had a 4.77 ERA with a 3.80 FIP and a 3.42 xFIP. He allowed too many home runs, but he was the victim of bad luck and bad defense as well, as he had that low LOB% and a .326 BABIP against. Pivetta struck out 188 in 164 innings and had a strong walk rate. He had a 12 percent swinging strike rate, which is well above league average.

It’s as simple as this. If you want to bet Pivetta, do it on the overnights because that line will move and move fast. There is a “FanGraphs bump”, which may be an “Athletic bump” now. When guys get buzz, the market takes notice. Pivetta’s getting a ton of it. Frankly, he was already a guy that was going to take steam with a 4.77 ERA and a 3.42 xFIP, but it will be out of control now, especially with an improved Phillies team. Play overnights, take your CLV or play some arbitrage. If you bet day of the game, you won’t get much Pivetta value.

<strong>Vince Velasquez – </strong>To a lesser degree than Pivetta, Velasquez is another guy to watch. Health is a question with him also, but he did make 30 starts last year and one relief outing over 146.2 innings. He bumped his strikeout rate closer to his 2016 numbers and had a 4.85 ERA with a 3.75 FIP and a 4.12 xFIP. Like Pivetta, bet early to get line value and figure out if you want to hold that position or not once the line peaks.

UT Arlington Mavericks vs Utah Tech Trailblazers NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 1/9/25

<p>Play-In Games for the NBA season tip off on Tuesday, April 12 with two games scheduled, so we’re taking a closer look at the Western Conference showdown at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota to get you the best Clippers vs. Timberwolves betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>This is the fifth contest between these teams. Los Angeles has won three of the four meetings between the teams, including winning both games in Minneapolis, so it is a little surprising that the Timberwolves enter as a 3.5-point favorite with the total set at 231.0 on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<h2>Clippers Enter Playoffs Red Hot</h2>



<p>The Los Angeles Clippers (42-40; 41-41-0 ATS) won their fifth straight game when they defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, 138-88. The victory was the fourth straight holding a team to under 110 points. The Clippers finished 6-4 and their last 10 and were 5-5 ATS in their final 10 contests. Los Angeles is 17-24 on the road.</p>



<p>The Clippers totally dominated the Thunder in the victory, taking a 21 point first quarter lead. Los Angeles shot 55.7% from the field, including 51.4% from three-point range. This is a team that has not been very successful shooting, 21<sup>st</sup> in the NBA in field-goal percentage (45.8%), however, they have been great from three-point range (third overall at 37.4%) and from the free-throw line (ninth overall at 79.3%).</p>



<p>Amir Coffey scored 35 points and had 13 rebounds in the victory as eight players scored in double digits. Reggie Jackson did not play in the victory, but led the club in scoring at 16.8 points per game. This is a team averaging only 108.4 points per contest, 23<sup>rd</sup> overall, but they have been solid defensively, 11<sup>th</sup> in the NBA at 108.4 points allowed per contest. Opponents are shooting 45.0% against the Clippers, sixth overall.</p>



<h2>Minnesota Ends Long Playoff Drought</h2>



<p>The Minnesota Timberwolves (46-36; 42-38-2 ATS) lost to the Chicago Bulls to close out the season, 124-120. Despite this, the team reaches the playoffs for the first time in what seems like decades. Minnesota went 4-6 over their final 10 games and were 2-8 ATS in their final 10. The Timberwolves are 26-15 at home this season.</p>



<p>It was not surprising that Minnesota dropped their final game, as a number of key players were sitting out in preparation for the playoff contest. Yet, the team still scored 120 points and hit 55.5% of their shots. Minnesota has been an offensive juggernaut this year, first in the NBA in points per game (115.9), despite the fact that the team is just 22<sup>nd</sup> in field-goal percentage (45.7%) and 12<sup>th</sup> in three-point shooting (35.8%).</p>



<p>Karl-Anthony Towns has turned into one of the best young players in the league, averaging 24.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. He sat out Sunday’s loss, however. Anthony Edwards had eight points in 18 minutes in the loss and is second on the club at 21.3 points per game. What Minnesota does well is take advantage of rebounding opportunities, despite being only 16<sup>th</sup> in rebounds per game (44.2).</p>



<h2>Trends:</h2>



<p><strong>Los Angeles:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-1 ATS in their last five games.</li><li>5-1 ATS in their last six contests, scoring more than 125 points in the previous game.</li></ul>



<p><strong>Minnesota:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in their last five games at home.</li><li>0-4 ATS in their last four games.</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-los-angeles-clippers-vs-minnesota-timberwolves-pick">Los Angeles Clippers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Pick</h2>



<p>This is an exciting time for Minnesota, reaching the playoffs for the first time in 2018 and just the ninth time in their 33 seasons. This is a team that has not had a lot of success reaching the postseason, but this is a talented young club that battles hard for every basket.</p>



<p>The problem is that a young club is not used to playoff basketball. The Clippers are an experienced team that has players who have starred in some of the biggest games in the NBA. They know how to win, and that is something the Timberwolves are going to have to learn. The Clippers have won eight of the last 10 meetings between these teams. Make it nine of the last 11.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Los Angeles Clippers at +3.5</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>This is a great battle of philosophies. The Timberwolves try to outscore teams. They enter this playoff game scoring 120 points or more in four of their last five games. Los Angeles needs to slow things down and limit the offensive success of their opponents.</p>



<p>This is playoff basketball now, and this is when defense reins. That favors the Clippers, who have held four straight opponents under 110 points, including the last two under 100 points. Los Angeles also enters on a five-game winning streak and are about to make it six. Look for a total around 225.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 231.0.</strong></p>
