The Arizona Diamondbacks squandered another possible win yesterday as their bullpen could not hold a 3-0 lead. Today, the Diamondbacks do have the upper hand as they saw Steven Matz in their home series earlier this month. Matz gave up a season high eight hits in the outing. Tail the Dbacks to answer and even the road series.

The Houston Astros need a get right series to dig out of 7-16 start to their year. On the road today against the Cubs presents an opportunity to chip away in the wins department. Cubs starter Jordan Wicks deepest outing has been 4 2/3 innings. That will put pressure on the Cubs bullpen. Additionally, JP France is coming off allowing just four hits his last start. Tail the Astros to finally start a series off properly.

Look for the Pacers to respond in game two tonight in Milwaukee. As poor of a first half as the Pacers played they fought back to cut the deficit to just twelve points. They held Damian Lillard scoreless in the second half, and Milwaukee to just forty points post half time. Look for Indiana to shoot much better from the field and not be held under 100 points again. Take Indiana.

The Brew crew will be apart of a bullpen game today as the Pirates will use a reliever to open as well. Milwaukee is aiming to end a two game slide, but still boasts an NL best ten wins on the road. Look for the Brewers to break out of a stretch where they have scored two runs or less in five of their last six games. Take the Brewers.

The Houston Astros did not come through for me yesterday, but I’ll go right back to them today. Jameson Taillon is making just his second start of the season, and was limited to just 73 pitches. Expect a similar window of a pitch count today, as the Astros get to see an extra inning or two from the Cubs bullpen. They’ll take advantage and get their eighth win of the season.

The Detroit Tigers have been stronger on the road then they have been at home. In fact they boast a 10-3 road record on the young season. This bodes to their favor today as the Tampa Bay Rays are using an opener today on the mound. Additionally, Tigers ace Jack Flaherty is coming off a season high ten strikeouts. Tail the Tigers

The Boston Celtics are once again huge favorites in game two. Thanks to a big fourth quarter run from the Miami Heat in game one, I expect an even faster start from the Celtics in game two. Additionally, Celtics star Jayson Tatum will play with a chip on his shoulder after Caleb Martin collided into him at the tail end of the game. Miami just does not have the personnel to run full speed with the Celtics for four quarters. Take the Celtics to cover once again.
