Preview: Warriors at Cavaliers
Gracenote
Jun 7, 2018

The Golden State Warriors aim to finish off a four-game sweep of Cleveland when they visit the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals on Friday. Golden State is striving to win its third title in four seasons as well as become the first team to sweep the best-of-7 finals since the San Antonio Spurs dispatched the Cavaliers in four games in 2007.

The Cavaliers are the 14th team to fall behind 0-3 in the NBA Finals - the other 13 lost the series - and insist they aren't going to roll over. "We're going to keep fighting," Cleveland center Tristan Thompson told reporters. "It's the first team to four wins, right? We're on our home floor. For ourselves and for our fans, we've got to go out there and give everything we've got." The Warriors rode Kevin Durant's 43-point outing to Wednesday's 110-102 win in Game 3 and don't plan to let up on the pedal after blowing a 3-1 lead to the Cavaliers two years ago. "You never know, crazy things that can happen, turn of events in a series that could take place," Golden State forward Draymond Green told reporters. "So you have the opportunity to close out, you want to do that. So you come in, take full advantage of the opportunity in front of us."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ABC

ABOUT THE WARRIORS: Durant reiterated Thursday that he will return to Golden State next season - the apparent plan is to opt-out of his current two-year, $51 million deal and sign a richer one. He said there is a different feeling with the team in its second NBA Finals with him on the roster. "It's just a different vibe because we've been through a season with each other already as champions, going through a whole season," Durant said at a press conference on Thursday. "So we know exactly what we need to do in order for us to win. We wanted to do that, focus on that as much as possible. The emotions, and all that stuff, doesn't really matter."

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS: LeBron James could be playing his final game for Cleveland before entering free agency and he said Thursday that he was against veteran Dwyane Wade being traded when the club shuffled its roster at the trading deadline. James ran down the Golden State roster and mentioned all the stars and their exploits before sliding in a mention that his squad also has some talented players. "We've had an opportunity to win two of these games in this three-game series so far, and we haven't come up with it," James said in a press conference. "Obviously, from a talent perspective, if you're looking at Golden State from their top five best players to our top five players, you would say they're stacked better than us."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Warriors PG Stephen Curry had 11 points on 3-of-16 shooting in Game 3 after scoring 33 points and making an NBA Finals record nine 3-pointers in Game 2.

2. Cleveland swingman Kyle Korver is averaging 1.3 points on 1-of-10 shooting in the series.

3. Golden State swingman Andre Iguodala (left knee) scored eight points in 22 minutes in Game 3 in his first action of the series.

NBA Finals Game 4 betting preview and odds: Warriors at Cavaliers


Golden State Warriors at Cleveland Cavaliers (+4.5, 215.5)

Warriors lead series 3-0.

The Golden State Warriors aim to finish off a four-game sweep of Cleveland when they visit the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals on Friday. Golden State is striving to win its third title in four seasons as well as become the first team to sweep the best-of-7 finals since the San Antonio Spurs dispatched the Cavaliers in four games in 2007.

The Cavaliers are the 14th team to fall behind 0-3 in the NBA Finals - the other 13 lost the series - and insist they aren't going to roll over. "We're going to keep fighting," Cleveland center Tristan Thompson told reporters. "It's the first team to four wins, right? We're on our home floor. For ourselves and for our fans, we've got to go out there and give everything we've got." The Warriors rode Kevin Durant's 43-point outing to Wednesday's 110-102 win in Game 3 and don't plan to let up on the pedal after blowing a 3-1 lead to the Cavaliers two years ago. "You never know, crazy things that can happen, turn of events in a series that could take place," Golden State forward Draymond Green told reporters. "So you have the opportunity to close out, you want to do that. So you come in, take full advantage of the opportunity in front of us."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ABC

LINE HISTORY: The Warriors opened as 5.5-point road favorites for Game 4 and as of Thursday night the pointspread is down slightly to 4.5. The total hit betting boards at 216 and is down to 215.5.

WHAT SHARPS SAY: "This is the same situation as last year when Golden State had a commanding 3-0 series lead in Cleveland. The Warriors were blown out in Game 4 last year when the Cavaliers won easily 137-116 as a 4.5-point home underdog. However, Golden State probably wanted to clinch the championship at home last year in Game 5, and they might now care more about getting a NBA Finals sweep this year. Also, Cleveland got a huge game from Kyrie Irving last year when he scored 40 points in Game 4, and he is of course no longer on the roster." - Steve Merril.

INJURY REPORT:

Warriors - SF A. Iguodala (Probable, Leg), SF C. Boucher (Out Indefinitely, Ankle).

Cavaliers - No injuries to report.

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (73-29 SU, 45-56-1 ATS, 46-55-1 O/U): Durant reiterated Thursday that he will return to Golden State next season - the apparent plan is to opt-out of his current two-year, $51 million deal and sign a richer one. He said there is a different feeling with the team in its second NBA Finals with him on the roster. "It's just a different vibe because we've been through a season with each other already as champions, going through a whole season," Durant said at a press conference on Thursday. "So we know exactly what we need to do in order for us to win. We wanted to do that, focus on that as much as possible. The emotions, and all that stuff, doesn't really matter."

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (62-41 SU, 41-61-1 ATS, 48-53-2 O/U): LeBron James could be playing his final game for Cleveland before entering free agency and he said Thursday that he was against veteran Dwyane Wade being traded when the club shuffled its roster at the trading deadline. James ran down the Golden State roster and mentioned all the stars and their exploits before sliding in a mention that his squad also has some talented players. "We've had an opportunity to win two of these games in this three-game series so far, and we haven't come up with it," James said in a press conference. "Obviously, from a talent perspective, if you're looking at Golden State from their top five best players to our top five players, you would say they're stacked better than us."

TRENDS:

* Warriors are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 vs. Eastern Conference.
* Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.
* Over is 6-1 in Warriors' last 7 NBA Championship games.
* Under is 11-5 in Cavaliers last 16 home games.
* Warriors are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

CONSENSUS:

52 percent of pointspread bets are on the favored Golden State Warriors while 60 percent of totals wagers are on the Over.

Preview: Pirates at Cubs
Gracenote
Jun 8, 2018

The Pittsburgh Pirates have lost 14 of their last 19 contests and haven’t won consecutive games in three weeks, and the Chicago Cubs don’t want to let their National League Central rivals up off the canvas. The surging Cubs will try to prolong the visiting Pirates’ struggles when the teams begin a three-game series Friday.


The Pirates last put together a winning streak when they claimed three straight from May 15-17, and they dropped two of three at home against the Cubs from May 28-30. The Cubs held on for a 4-3 win Thursday to take two of three from visiting Philadelphia and have won six of their last seven as well as nine of 11. Chicago has had excellent starting pitching over that stretch and hopes left-hander Mike Montgomery can continue that trend. The Pirates turn to right-hander Chad Kuhl, who is 1-5 with a 7.02 ERA in eight starts against the Cubs and 0-2 with a 4.73 ERA in three outings at Wrigley Field.

TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, MLB Network, AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, NBCS Chicago


PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Chad Kuhl (4-3, 3.86 ERA) vs. Cubs LH Mike Montgomery (1-1, 3.89)

Kuhl is winless in his last five outings, but he has put together quality starts in three straight turns and five of his last six. The Delaware native allowed two runs and four hits over six innings in a no-decision at St. Louis on Saturday, recording five strikeouts - his sixth straight outing with at least that many. Kuhl held the Cubs to one run over six frames May 28 but took the loss in a 7-0 defeat.

Montgomery has been terrific in two spot starts filling in while Yu Darvish is on the disabled list. The 28-year-old has allowed one run and four hits over 11 2/3 innings across those two outings, and the Cubs have won both games. Montgomery is 2-0 with a 2.53 ERA in eight games (two starts) against the Pirates.


WALK-OFFS

1. Chicago 1B Anthony Rizzo, who is 7-for-17 with five extra-base hits versus Kuhl, has hit safely in 17 of his past 18 games with a plate appearance and has 19 RBIs over that stretch.

2. Francisco Cervelli and Elias Diaz both homered Thursday and have combined for 13 home runs this season - most among NL catching duos and the most for a Pirates catching tandem since 2014.

3. The Cubs are 25-1 when leading after six innings and 30-1 when taking a lead to the ninth.

Preview: Brewers at Phillies
Gracenote
Jun 8, 2018

The Milwaukee Brewers own the best record in the National League but they will be hoping to avoid matching their longest losing streak of the season when they open a three-game series at the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. Milwaukee is 1-4 on its eight-game road trip, losing a pair of interleague series to the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians.

The Brewers have scored only four runs during their three-game slide and have scored more than three runs once in their last seven contests as their lead in the NL Central has dwindled to a half-game over the Chicago Cubs. Lorenzo Cain was 4-for-8 in the two losses to Cleveland but Domingo Santana, who swatted 30 homers last year, has not gone deep since May 21. The Phillies also have struggled this month, losing five of six to wrap up a 3-7 road trip, but they are 19-9 at Citizens Bank Park as they open a six-game homestand. "This was not our best road trip, obviously, but we proved we could go toe to toe with the best teams in the National League,” Philadelphia manager Gabe Kapler said after Thursday's 4-3 setback to the Cubs.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), NBCS Philadelphia

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Jhoulys Chacín (4-1, 3.39 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Vince Velasquez (4-6, 3.82)

Chacin has not lost in more than two months, improving to 4-0 over his last 11 starts after allowing three hits over 5 2/3 scoreless innings at the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. He has permitted two runs or fewer in eight of his last 10 turns while surrendering two home runs during the unbeaten streak. Chacin has made eight appearances versus the Phillies, posting a 3-1 mark and 2.13 ERA.

Velasquez, who turned 26 Thursday, is winless in his past three outings despite allowing a combined four earned runs and was a hard-luck loser last time out after striking out nine and holding San Francisco to one run over 6 1/3 innings. It marked the sixth straight start in which he has yielded three runs or fewer. Velasquez's ERA is more than 2 1/2 runs higher at home (5.40) than on the road (2.79).

WALK-OFFS

1. Phillies CF Odubel Herrera has hit safely in four straight games and is 5-for-17 with two walks during the stretch.

2. Brewers OF Christian Yelich had four homers and 13 RBIs in 18 games versus Philadelphia in 2017.

3. Philadelphia SS Scott Kingery had a two-run double Thursday, ending an 16-game RBI drought.

Preview: Giants at Nationals
Gracenote
Jun 7, 2018

The San Francisco Giants just completed a 5-1 homestand behind fantastic pitching and some offensive heroics on Wednesday. The Giants will try to carry the momentum from a walk-off win across the country when they begin a 10-game road trip by visiting the Washington Nationals on Friday.

San Francisco allowed a total of 11 runs during the six-game homestand and pulled off a 5-4 victory in 10 innings over Arizona on Wednesday when Alen Hanson delivered a tying, pinch-hit homer in the ninth and Brandon Crawford added a walk-off single in the 10th. "Great win for us," Giants manager Bruce Bochy told reporters. "It could be our best win this year." Crawford, Hanson and company will have their work cut out for them this weekend with three of the best pitchers in the National League slated to start for Washington, with Stephen Strasburg opposing lefty Andrew Suarez on Friday before Gio Gonzalez and Max Scherzer go for Washington on Saturday and Sunday. The Nationals are struggling to find consistency on offense but broke out the bats on Wednesday in an 11-2 pasting of the Tampa Bay Rays to earn a share of first place in the NL East.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco), MASN (Washington)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Andrew Suarez (2-4, 4.74 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Stephen Strasburg (6-5, 3.20)

Suarez snapped a four-start winless streak with a brilliant outing against Philadelphia on Saturday, scattering three hits without walking a batter in seven scoreless innings. The 25-year-old rookie notched five strikeouts in that turn and is up to 42 in 43 2/3 total innings. Suarez is making his first career start against the Nationals and is 1-2 with a 6.38 ERA in four starts on the road.

Strasburg struck out 10 over 6 2/3 innings at Atlanta last Friday but was reached for four runs - three earned - on seven hits and suffered the loss. The former No. 1 overall draft pick surrendered three or fewer earned runs in each of his last six outings and is fourth in the National League with 93 strikeouts entering Thursday. Strasburg is 3-2 with a 3.32 ERA in eight career starts against San Francisco.

WALK-OFFS

1. Nationals OF Adam Eaton (ankle) is on a minor league rehab assignment at Class A Potomac and could return to the active roster this weekend.

2. Crawford hit safely in each of the last seven games and is 12-for-26 in that span.

3. Washington 3B Anthony Rendon went 4-for-5 on Wednesday - matching his hit total from the previous seven games.

PREDICTION: Nationals 5, Giants 2

Preview: Orioles at Blue Jays
Gracenote
Jun 8, 2018

The Baltimore Orioles have been the cure to a lot of their opponents' ills this season, and such was the case again Thursday when it came to the recent struggles of the Toronto Blue Jays. Coming off only their second victory in their last nine contests in the series opener, the Blue Jays eye their first winning streak since April 29-May 1 on Friday when they continue a four-game home set with the Orioles.

Baltimore's Brad Brach took a three-run lead and his streak of 10 consecutive scoreless relief outings to the mound in the ninth inning Thursday, but Toronto reached the closer for three runs in the bottom of the frame and won in the 10th on Aledmys Diaz's two-out, walk-off single. Not only did the rally secure the Blue Jays' fourth walk-off victory of the season, but it also gave them only their second home triumph in 12 tries. The comeback also halted any momentum the Orioles had created after winning each of their two games in New York against the Mets earlier in the week following a seven-game losing streak. Manny Machado continues being a bright spot for what has been an otherwise dismal season for the team with the worst record in the majors in Baltimore (19-42), as he drove in a run for the fifth straight game Thursday.

TV: 7:07 p.m. ET, MASN 2 (Baltimore), Sportsnet (Toronto)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Andrew Cashner (2-7, 5.02 ERA) vs. Blue Jays LH J.A. Happ (7-3, 4.08)

Cashner fell to 1-6 since April 5 despite logging a quality start Friday against the New York Yankees, permitting three runs on nine hits and a walk across five innings. The TCU product hasn't surrendered a home run in any of his last three turns since allowing at least one in his six previous outings, but Friday marked the first time since May 9 he lasted six innings. Cashner turned in his best start of the season April 10 at Toronto, firing seven scoreless frames in a no-decision.

Happ's string of three consecutive wins in as many starts came to a halt Saturday in his worst outing in nearly a month, settling for a no-decision after yielding four runs over five innings at Detroit. The 35-year-old has fanned at least eight in eight of his 12 trips to the mound this season and ranks just outside the top 10 in the American League in strikeouts with 87. Machado is 8-for-31 with three home runs against Happ, who allowed one run and struck out nine across six innings to beat Baltimore on April 9.

WALK-OFFS

1. Blue Jays OF Curtis Granderson's 26 career homers versus the Orioles are his most against any opponent.

2. Ten of the 18 runs Baltimore has surrendered to the Blue Jays this season have come in the ninth inning or later.

3. Toronto has posted four straight quality starts for the first time since recording seven in a row from Sept. 21-28, 2016.

Preview: Indians at Tigers
Gracenote
Jun 8, 2018

The first-place Cleveland Indians begin a stretch of 16 straight games against American League Central rivals when they visit the Detroit Tigers on Friday night for the first of three contests. The Indians have won eight of their last 11 games after sweeping a pair of interleague contests against Milwaukee to start the week, in which they allowed just three runs combined.

Cleveland’s Edwin Encarnacion has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games with six homers and 15 RBIs, while teammate Jose Ramirez owns hits in nine of the past 10 contests with five blasts in that stretch to push his season total to 19. The Indians will send Trevor Bauer to the mound in the series opener while the Tigers counter with Michael Fulmer, who has won once since April 7 and struggled in his lone start against Cleveland in 2018. Leonys Martin, who is 6-for-14 against the Indians this season, registered a triple and a two-run homer Thursday as Detroit salvaged the finale of a three-game set against Boston with a 7-2 victory after scoring one run in the first two contests in the series. The second-place Tigers trail Cleveland by four games in the AL Central and have won 10 of their last 16 contests overall while boasting a 20-14 record at Comerica Park.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SportsTime Ohio (Cleveland), FS Detroit

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Trevor Bauer (4-4, 2.77 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Michael Fulmer (2-5, 4.73)

Bauer has struggled in his last two starts despite striking out 24, allowing 11 runs (seven earned) over 13 innings combined, following two straight scoreless outings. The 27-year-old UCLA product has already beat the Tigers twice this season, including May 16 when he blanked them on four hits across eight innings with 10 strikeouts. Martin is 5-for-7 and Miguel Cabrera 8-for-25 with a homer versus Bauer, who is 6-5 with a 6.48 ERA against Detroit in his career.

Fulmer has only one victory in his last 10 trips to the mound, including a loss Sunday against Toronto after yielding four runs over six innings. The 25-year-old Oklahoma City native lasted a season-low three innings in his only start against Cleveland this year on April 12, permitting nine runs (six earned) and eight hits. Ramirez is 4-for-10 with two homers against Fulmer, who is 2-3 with a 7.31 ERA in six career contests versus the Indians.

WALK-OFFS

1. Cabrera is one RBI from tying Ernie Banks (1,636) for 32nd on major league baseball’s all-time list.

2. Cleveland OF Brandon Guyer (neck) could be ready to return to the roster as early as Friday.

3. The Indians are 32-12 against the Tigers since the beginning of the 2016 season after winning five of the first seven this year.

Preview: Mariners at Rays
Gracenote
Jun 8, 2018

The Seattle Mariners look to defeat Tampa Bay for the fifth consecutive time this season when they visit the Rays on Friday for the second contest of their four-game set. Seattle has won 10 of its last 11 meetings with the Rays after recording a 5-4 victory in the series opener.

Mitch Haniger went 2-for-3 with a homer and Jean Segura recorded two hits to extend his major league-leading multi-hit performance count to 28 as the Mariners won for the sixth time in seven games. Segura ranks second in the American League with a .341 average and has helped Seattle win 15 of 19 to hold a one-game lead over Houston in the AL West. Tampa Bay has scored 16 runs during its seven-game losing streak, with three coming in the bottom of the ninth inning of Thursday's contest. Johnny Field delivered a bases-clearing double with two outs in the ninth for the Rays to match his season best of three RBIs.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, ROOT Northwest (Seattle), FS Sun (Tampa Bay)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mariners LH Marco Gonzales (6-3, 3.38 ERA) vs. Rays RH Wilmer Font (0-2, 9.78)

Gonzales has won three consecutive starts and has allowed just one earned run in 26 innings over his last four turns. One of the wins came against the Rays in his last outing, when he allowed one run and five hits over 6 2/3 frames. The 26-year-old Gonzales has given up 16 hits during the four-start stretch in which he has lowered his ERA from 5.31 to 3.38.

Font will make his first major-league start as Tampa Bay continues its recent trend of opening the game with a reliever. The 28-year-old has posted a 1.50 ERA in four games since joining the Rays after being pounded for 24 runs over 17 innings in stints with Oakland and the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this season. Font has served up 11 homers - including one to Seattle's Ryon Healy on Saturday - in 30 frames this year.

WALK-OFFS

1. Mariners DH Nelson Cruz was hitless in three at-bats after producing multi-hit efforts in six of his previous eight contests.

2. Tampa Bay recalled 1B Jake Bowers from Triple-A Durham - he went hitless in four at-bats during his major-league debut on Thursday - and designated INF Brad Miller for assignment.

3. Seattle LF Denard Span has homered in back-to-back games, the latest blast coming Thursday against the team from which he was acquired.

PREDICTION: Mariners 5, Rays 2

Preview: Cardinals at Reds
Gracenote
Jun 8, 2018

The St. Louis Cardinals barely averted a three-game sweep by the second-worst team in the National League and now hope to get on track against the NL's worst squad. The Cardinals have made a habit of getting healthy against the Reds and will look to extend their domination in the series when they open a three-game set at the Reds on Friday night.

St. Louis got a needed well-pitched game in Thursday's 4-1 victory over visiting Miami after it was outscored by the Marlins 18-7 in the first two games of the series. The Cardinals are 7-0 this season against the Reds and have beaten them 11 consecutive times while winning their last nine in Cincinnati, including a four-game sweep in April. The Reds scored twice in the eighth and once in the ninth before Jesse Winker belted a walk-off homer in the 13th in Thursday's 7-5 victory over Colorado to avoid a three-game sweep. It halted a four-game slide for Cincinnati, which has given up at least five runs in 10 of its last 12 games.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FS Midwest (St. Louis), FS Ohio (Cincinnati)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Luke Weaver (3-5, 4.11 ERA) vs. Reds RH Matt Harvey (1-4, 5.79)

Weaver is winless in his last four outings but he stopped a three-start slide by limiting Pittsburgh to one run on four hits over five innings on Saturday. The former first-round draft pick has served up five homers over the last four turns after yielding two in his first eight starts. One of those came in a win at Cincinnati on April 13, when Weaver tossed six innings of two-run ball.

Harvey, who will be making his sixth start since he was acquired from the New York Mets, suffered his second straight defeat after giving up five runs and six hits over five innings at San Diego on Saturday. Four of the five starts have come on the road, but he pitched six innings of one-run ball at Great American Ball Park on May 22. Marcell Ozuna is 9-for-24 against Harvey.

WALK-OFFS

1. Cardinals 1B Jose Martinez has hit safely in five straight after going 7-for-10 with a homer and four RBIs versus Miami.

2. Reds 1B Joey Votto has multiple hits in six of the last 10 games but is 2-for-19 versus St. Louis this year.

3. Cardinals RHP Bud Norris has converted 12 of 13 save chances.

PREDICTION: Cardinals 5, Reds 3
