The home team is 21-3 and 11-1 at home and playing well. They have future Hall Of Famer Diana Taurasi as well as inside threat Britney Griner, who can score and defend under the hoop. Candace Dupree and Bonner are solid players who average over 10 ppg.
LA just changed coaches and lost at home by 20 to Phoenix last week. However, they are 8-5 on the road and could bbounce back with Candace Parker and Ogwumike inside.
I think we see a closer game with Phoenix winning by 14 and covering.

Most places do have this at 162. Tulsa did let us down by losing 82-77 and staying under the 160 barrier on Friday night. Tulsa has Skylar Diggins, Odyssey Sims, Riquena Willaimas and Paris to score points and Chicago has Young, Breland, Fowles, Prince and Quigly. They are without Elena Delle Donne and have had some low scores lately. These two played a 105-99 OT game in 2014 and that was without Delle Donne.
Tulsa has 17 overs and just 7 unders this year but most overs are on the road. The Sky hav 15 overs, 5 unders, 3 pushes in their last 23 Sunday games.

NY is just 10-13 SU but has won at Seattle and at LA on this road trip but should have tired legs. Former Liberty point guard Cappie Pondexter used to play for Phoenix but moved to the bright lights of Broadway.
Phoenix has Diana Taurasi to score and Britney Griner inside to block shots and score. Dewanna Bonner and Candice Dupre are solid as well. NY has Pierson, Tina Charles and Anna Cruz to count on but it is hard to go against the home team.

Tulsa has played 10 overs and just one under on the road. The last four road games have reached 188, 175, 179 and 164 points. When these two met earlier in 2014 the score was 91-74 (165 points).
Washington has played unders in 19 of its last 26 home games but there last home game (vs. Connecticut) ended with 164 points. The Mystics have 5 players who average between 9 and 12 points and they are Latta, Meesseman, Hartley, Currie and Vaughn.
Tulsa got 39 from Odyessey Sims and 34 from Skylar Diggins in their last game and here are their averages:

Phoenix does have solid players like Diana Taurasi, Bonner and Dupre to go with Brittney Griner but they have 16 unders, 7 overs and a push in their last 24 games.

The SD Padres have played 32 overs with 50 overs and their ballpark (Petco) is a pitcher's park. The starters (Hahn/Latos) both have ERA's in the 3.26 range and have thrown their fair share of unders. The Reds are hot as they have won 8 of 9 and most were on the road at San Francisco and Chicago Cubs. Cozart, Philips, Votto and others like Jay Bruce have been hitting well lately for the visitors.
I think we see a 3-2 type of game that stays under.

Alfredo starts for the visitors and he is 3-0 in his last 3 and the team is 12-3 in his starts while the Giants are just 4-8 when Matt Cain is on the mound for the home team.
Votto, Mesoraco, Frazier, Bruce, Philips and Cozart are all hitting well for the Reds. The Giants are led by Bustoer Posey, Hunter Pence and Pablo Sandoval but they have been cold. Let's take the hot team with a pitcher who has been solid lately.

They also have Douglas 12 ppg, Bentley 11 ppg (with 4 assists per game) and Alyssa Thomas 9.7 ppg (she had 23 points and 11 rebounds last game). Hightower scores 9.5 ppg but is questionable with an injury. Bone also contributes.

Minnesota also has solid players like Simeone Augustus and Lisa Whalen. Phoenix can score but they are not the run andd gun team they were in previous years as they now have 6'8" Brittney Griner inside to rebound and block shots.

We may get a 3-2 final and a push but the games have been going under even with solid goalies like Jonathan Quick. The other series saw a 7-4 game last night withn 6 being scored in the second period. I think we have as decent chance of the game going over if we can get some early goals and put pressure on the opponent.

The Houston Astros won last night and jumped ahead 6-0 and coasted to a nice victory at Kansas City. They have hit and pitched well and I like the fact that there is no pressure on them as they look to finish under .500. Kansas City is sitting close to .500 and they do have some decent hitters like Alex Gordon but let's go with the hot team on a roll as a nice underdog.

Okla City -2
I expect to see the home team play better in front of their fans as they are down 2-0 and have lost both games badly. Serge Ibaka may end up playing and he is the third best player for the Thunder. San Antonio should win the series led by Duncan, Parker, Leonard and Green but Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook should lead OK City to at least one win and I think they win on Sunday.

Miami and Indiana are 1-1 in games so the Heat should relax some which is different than when it was 1-0 in favor of the Pacers. Paul George should play and I think he plays well. Stephenson and George Hill should score some points as well and Roy Hibbert always seems to get up against the Heat as he is solid on defense and can disturb some inside shots.
Miami is led by Lebron James, DWade and Chris Bosh and I expect them to win but for Indy to cover.

Look for the Miami Heat to bounce back as I like the zigzag theory in this matchup in the east. I think Miami can turn it on/off as needed and will have Bosh, Lebron James and DWade ready for Game Two. Miami doesn't want to go back 0-2. Indiana will need for Roy Hibbart to play well inside but I expect the Heat to win by 7.

Felix Hernandez starts for the M's at home and Seattle is just 7-8 at home. King Felix's last 5 starts have resulted in 4 no decisions and a loss. He allowed 11 hits in his last start at Oakland. He has allowed just 3, 2, 3 and 2 runs in his last 4 starts, which is solid but beatable.
Tampa Bay starts Ramos and his ERA is 1.76 in his last 3 starts and he has allowed just 18 hits in 27 innings and allowed 2, 0, 1, 0 and 1 run in his last 5 stints on the mound.
Tampa Bay has some solid hitters like Zobrist, Myers, Loney and Evan Longoria to cause damage. Plenty of value on the road team at +148

Sunday MLB:
San Francisco at LA 5* SF +151
Taking the underdog as Tim Hudson has allowed just 1, 2, 1 and 2 runs in his last four starts. Clayton Kershaw missed the first few weeks of the season to an injury but has great stuff. He did lose 4-2 at home to the Giants last year in September. Maybe the Giants can score off the bullpen. SF led 2-0 Saturday and lost so I am looking for them to bounce back. SF has seen Kershaw before and are 13-9 on the road while LA is just 7-11 at home.

Miami is well rested and the visitors are off a 7 game series on the road. Miami does have Lebron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade while the Nets are led by new coach Jason Kidd and veterans like Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. The Nets will be confident after a win on the road but must travel from Canada down to south Florida and it does concern me.
However, the Nets are 4-0 vs. Miami this year and this line moved from -7 to -8 so take the points.

Zack Greinke is 5-0 with an ERA of 2.31 while Zimmerman for the Nationals is 201 with an ERA of 3.08. Washington is a pitcher's park. Ryan Zimmerman is out with an injury for the home team and so is Bryce Harper. Jayson Werth can do some damage for Washington but I think we see an under on Monday.
3-2 final score is my prediction.
