The surprising San Francisco Giants continue to lead the NL West by 2.5 games over the Dan Diego Padres. The Giants have won three straight and seven of their last 10 games. They will start Kevin Gausman today who is 3-0 after seven starts with a 1.97 ERA and 0.854 WHIP. Gausman has been even better on the road with a 2-0 mark and a 1.05 ERA. The Pittsburgh Pirates are in last place in the NL Central with a 15-22 record, 7.5 games back of the Cardinals. They have lost two straight and seven of their last 10. Tyler Anderson will toe the rubber today for the Bucs. Anderson has a 3-3 record after seven starts with a 3.05 ERA and 1.040 WHIP. He's been even better at home with a 1-1 mark and 2.70 ERA. I like this game to be low scoring today. Play UNDER.

Coming down to the last few games in the NBA regular season. The New Orleans Pelicans in desperate need to win out if they hope to even make 10th place and a play-in game. They sit in 11th place, two games back of the Spurs. The Warriors have have clinched a play-in berth as they sit in 8th place, tied with the Grizzlies for 9th. Other than 8 or 9th place the Warriors are pretty much set. Maybe that's why Stephen Curry will miss tonight's game, though he is listed with an injury. The Pelicans will also be without one of their stars in Zion Willamson, who has a finger injury. Forward Brandon Ingram is questionable for the Pelicans with a ankle injury. Despite the injuries, this game has more meaning to the Pelicans who can still make the postseason. Take New Orleans.
