When this series started it looked to be one of the more interesting and equally matched ones. However, that hasn't been the case as the Warriors have dominated this series and can eliminate the Spurs today with a win. The Warriors have been without their star guard Stephen Curry, who has been out this series with a knee injury. That looked to be the great equalizer for the Spurs, who play a good defensive game. The Warriors have had little trouble scoring against this Spurs defense, with 113, 116 and 110 points in the first three games. The Spurs were also dealt a big blow before game three when coach Gregg Popvich's wife passed away and the coach had to miss the game. Popovich will not be on the bench today either. To me, that takes the heart out of this Spurs team. They are down 0-3 in the series, they are without their coach, don't see what positives I can place in the Spurs column here today. Play the Warriors.

Arizona off to a excellent start at 14-6. The D'backs have seen four of their last five games go under with one push. Part of this under run has been do to an excellent pitching staff and a bullpen that has a 2.09 ERA and 1.058 WHIP. One of those pitchers is Pat Corbin, who is 3-0 in his three starts with a 1.65 ERA and 0.695 WHIP. Corbin is coming off a complete game shutout of the Giants where he allowed just one hit. In fact, in his three starts, Corbin has allowed just one hit twice. The Padres will find runs tough today against Corbin as they average just 3.7 rpg on the season. A bright spot for the Padres has been starter Joe Lucchesi, who is 2-0 in his three starts with a 1.66 ERA and 0.969 WHIP. Lucchesi has allowed just three total runs in his 17 innings of work. In addition, he has 24 KO's against just four walks. This one should be a good old fashioned pitcher's duel. Take the UNDER.

The Boston Celtics look to take a 3-1 lead in their best of seven series with the the Milwaukee Bucks. Boston lost game three at Milwaukee, 92-116. The Celtics saw their hot shooting from three-point stripe drop from over 40% to just 33% and their overall FG percentage dropped to just 40%. Meanwhile, the Bucks ht 57% from the field and 48.5% from three-point stripe. The key to the Celtics win and cover here today is to not get out to the slow start that plagued them in game three, where they were out of it at halftime, trailing 35-58. The good news is that the starters should be well rested as they did not play for most of the late rout against Milwaukee. I like the Celtics to rebound here today and show up, not like they did in game three three. Play Boston.

After a lull where the Astros struggled to score some runs, they seem to be back to their winning ways. Houston has won five straight games and is now 15-7 on the season. The Astros pitching has been great, allowing two runs or less in each of their last six games. In fact, they have outscored the White Sox 20-1 the last two games. Lance McCullers is 2-1 and will start today for the Astros. McCullers has a 5.57 ERA and 1.429 WHIP. He is coming off his best start of the season, allowing just one run and one hit over seven innings to the Mariners. Meanwhile, it's been a terrible start for the White Sox who are 4-13 and lost six straight games. Reynaldo Lopez starts today for the Sox and is 0-2 with a 1.42 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Lopez has pitched well, going at least six innings in each of his three starts and allowing two runs or less. Unfortunately, Lopez has received just three total runs of support. I'm going to lay the 1.5 runs here today with the Astros who should roll again on Sunday.
