Houston Rockets vs LA Lakers 9/6/20 - NBA

In the second game of a Sunday NBA on ABC Playoff doubleheader, the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers will square off from the Walt Disney Resort. The fourth-seeded Rockets needed seven games to dispose of Oklahoma City and are the top rated defensive team in the bubble. On Friday, Houston limited Los Angeles to 42 points during the second half of a 112-97 victory.

Houston G James Harden led all scorers with 36 points on an efficient 12-for-20 shooting performance. Russell Westbrook contributed 24 points, nine rebounds, and six assists for the Rockets.

The Los Angeles Lakers were the third rated team in defensive efficiency during the regular season, but lack the perimeter shooting to surround LeBron James. In Game One, that flaw was exposed as the top-seeded Lakers missed 27 of their 38 three-point attempts. Los Angeles was outrebounded by a 53-47 margin and turned the ball over 17 times.

Los Angeles F Anthony Davis tallied a team high 25 points on 10-for-16 shooting and grabbed 14 rebounds. LeBron James added 20 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists for the Lakers.

Recent Betting Trends

Rockets are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog.
Lakers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite.
Under is 6-1 in Rockets last 7 games as an underdog.
Over is 7-3 in Lakers last 10 games following a straight up loss.
Rockets are 17-8 ATS in the last 25 meetings.

Free NBA Pick: Houston Rockets +5.5

Los Angeles G Rajon Rondo (hand) made his first appearance in the postseason and finished with eight points on 3-for-9 from the field. The Rockets continue to stifle teams with their ability to switch on defense. Look for Houston to take a 2-0 series lead with a win on Sunday. Final Score Prediction, Houston Rockets win but grab the points just in case 114-110.

White Sox at Royals 9/6/20 - MLB

The Chicago White Sox travel on the road to divisional rival Kansas City Royals. Chicago came into the season as a trendy up and coming team who if they put it together could make a real impact on the American League, well they’ve won two straight games improving their record to 24-15 on the year and firmly in the playoff picture in the AL. The Royals have lost four straight games, including opening this series with the White Sox losing 7-4 and dropping their record on the season to 14-25.

The White Sox offense, led by Jose Abreau are one of the best offense in the MLB this season. With a team batting average of .270 to rank 2nd in the MLB and averaging 5.26 runs per game ranking 7th in scoring defense, the White Sox offense looks to be capable of boosting them to a playoff run.

Taking the mound for Chicago is Dallas Keuchel who is 5-2 on the year and is posting a 2.42 ERA. Keuchel has allowed just two home runs and walked 12 in 48 innings of work while striking out 30 in that time. The White Sox pitching staff comes in with a team ERA of 3.80 on the year to rank 8th in the MLB.

The Royals come in with a team ERA of 4.68 on the year to rank 18th in the MLB and will send out the solid Brad Keller who is 3-1 on the year with a solid ERA of 1.93. Keller faced a touch Indians lineup his last timeout and put together a solid 6 innings of work, allowing just three hits and one run striking out 4 on his way to a win.

Kansas City struggled at the plate as a team batting .239 as a team to rank 19th and are averaging just 3.9 runs per game to rank 29th in the MLB this season. Whit Merrifield has been one of the few bright spots leading the team batting .261 and driving in a team-high 22 runs.

Recent Betting Trends

The total has gone OVER in 6 of Chi White Sox's last 9 games.
Chi White Sox are 14-4 SU in their last 18 games.
Kansas City are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Kansas City's last 9 games.

Free MLB Pick: Chicago White Sox -172

The White Sox have too mean weapons at the plate for a struggling Royals team, especially one that will have to face the streaking Dallas Keuchel who comes in with a 2.42 ERA on the season. Although the Royals will have a solid starter in Brad Keller taking the mound, the White Sox powerful offense scrapes up enough runs to gain and early lead and continues to build on that against the Royals bullpen. Final score prediction, Chicago White Sox win 7-4.

Reds at Pirates 9/6/20 - MLB

The Reds are one team that has been bouncing all over the place on the year so far. The Reds have posted a 17-22 record overall, but playing on the road the Reds are sitting on a 9-11 record. Pittsburgh has ended up with a horrible record on the year and is falling back even further with a 12-25 record on the year overall. Even at the friendly PNC Park the Pirates have struggled and are sitting on a 7-12 record at home.

On the season the Reds have not been the best hitting team with an average of .216 on the year and a total of 252 hits. The Reds have scored only 150 runs this year with a total of 57 homers. Pittsburgh has been able to hit at a clip of .220 with 258 hits on the season. The Pirates have been able to get a total of 143 runs and have ended up with 34 homers on the year.

Sonny Gray is the projected starter for the Cincinnati Reds. Gray has ended up with a 5-2 record and a 3.19 ERA on the year. When it comes to the number of innings pitching Gray has thrown 42.1 innings with 56 strikeouts. Gray has ended up walking 18 batters and has given up 32 hits on the year.

The Pirates are planning on putting Chad Kuhl on the mound. Kuhl has ended up with a 1-1 record and a 3.10 ERA on the season. This year Kuhl has thrown a total of 29 innings while striking out 23 batters. Kuhl has walked 13 batters and has allowed 22 hits on the year.

Coming to the game here the Reds are going to have some momentum and definitely have the better pitcher on the mound. Look for the Reds to rely on Gray to come into the game and outpitch Kuhl in the game. Not to mention the Reds are better in the power game and that will definitely help the Reds in this game as the Cincinnati club is able to pick up the win over the Pirates based off of their pitching and power hitting.

The Red Sox are a big disappointment on the year so far. The Red Sox have ended up with a 13-27 record overall. Playing at Fenway Park the Boston team has not been able to take advantage of the green monster at all with a 7-16 record on the year.

With the Red Sox the team has ended up hitting at a clip of .254 on the year with 334 hits. Boston has been able to get a total of 172 runs and have ended up with 45 homers. The hitting is not the issue for Boston as the team has a team ERA that is sitting at 6.13 so far and the opponents have been able to hit at a clip of .287.

Recent Betting Trends

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Toronto's last 6 games.
Toronto are 14-6 SU in their last 20 games.
Boston are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games.

Free MLB Pick: Toronto Blue Jays -145

In this game the Blue Jays should have a good day. The Red Sox have been good when they have been at the plate. However, the Blue Jays are going to have a field day with the horrible pitching that Boston has shown to all of their opponents on the year. Look for that to continue to be an issue for the Red Sox in the game here as the Blue Jays are able to put up quite a few runs in the game and lock down the win. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Blue Jays win 10-2.

Miami are 0-9 SU in their last 9 games against Tampa Bay.
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Tampa Bay's last 9 games.
Tampa Bay are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games.

Free MLB Pick: Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 (-105)

The game here is going to pit the rising Rays team to taking on the sinking Marlins. The Rays are one team that has seemed to get everything going for them. The Rays have a good offense that has been able to score quite a few runs. Look for that to continue in the game here as the Marlins are putting out a younger pitcher in the game and that will make the difference in the game here as the Marlins are unable to provide the proper run support, but also have issues in keeping the Rays offense in check. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Rays win 5-2.
