Nola got knocked around early last time these two played. Braves had a plan to jump on 1st or 2nd pitch fastballs and killed him. 

Id expect some serious adjustments in how Nola throws / JT calls the game. Braves dont really have much to play for at the moment and watching the past 2 days you can feel that. I wouldnt bet huge on them solely b/c "they wont get swept at home" 

BOL tn midnight

Yo that guy is pumped about this pick huh

Seems like everyone is on Cleveland. Borucki was amazing in his first month last year, hmm which also occured in July. First time seeing him for Cleveland and everyones first time seeing him this year. I have a hunch he might throw a gem. 7 innings 2er or something.

Also I made a thread about this yesterday and they literally deleted it 

Everyone should just move it over to the Pregame mlb forums

Ahhh our daily update of todays Brewers line

At least I know the Brewers line every day when I come here since theres always a post with it as the title. 

So torn here. Corbin has been dominate against the NL East yet in his last 4 starts (29 innings) Nola has let up 1 earned and quite frankly, as a Philly local (but not a Phils fan) I can usually only watch them unless I go to the book, and his last 2 starts IDC who he was facing he was unhittable. 

Leaning 1st half under myself I think. These bullpens are both horrific and a 2-1 game can go either direction after 7. BOL today

Yo does this guy really think theres any shot Giannis would leave MILk to go to TORONTO. Even after their roster lost the only reason they were good?

Cant wait to hear ignorant fans like this guy brag about them being the champs til someone beats them all year lol. That team as constructed might be a 6 seed. Good luck this year pal. 

I actually really respected Toronto fans in this whole process but to claim "Lakers fans are on suicide watch" (with Lebron and AD LOL) is quite humorous. Meanwhilee people who flaunted false sources and mocked others for not believing their (now proven false) "sources" like this guy will slink back into their holes and continue to act like everyone else is the idiot. 

Dont doubt McKay. Last time out he was perfect through 5 and went 6 innings 1 hit against a Rangers team that was riding a hot 6 game win streak. McKay is a stud and has never truly been roughed up at any level along the way. Sure Yanks are murderers row but McKay seems like real deal. I think theres a better chance of Tampa giving you 5 than NY tonight.

I hate all this nonsense these days that something should be removed because "slavery was involved". Like the Betsy Ross Air Max 1s that got pulled from being released tomorrow because they have OUR NATIONS ORIGINAL FLAG on them. Give me a break.

You cant erase your past. Slavery was just as disgusting here as it was in every other part of the world it was ever practiced. Doesnt mean we should delete all our nations history because of it. When you erase the past its more likely to repeat itself. As a country we have learned and grown from those times. To exclude anything because it was from the first 150 years of the USA is so honestly absurd...

Its Arrieta Corbin today because of last nights rainout

I think the lines suspiciously low too cause Woodruff hasnt lost since April 10th which is irrelevant in the end but thats what people love to do, ride winning streaks. 

Astros just feel like a really safe bet to me tn

Im just curious what the forum thinks about situations like this. A lineup seeing a pitcher for the first time usually presents a small advantage for a pitcher we see it all the time with rookies who may go 6innings 2 earned in their 1st start vs a rival and 3 innings 6 earned the next. 

Does this generally get thrown out the window with a great pitcher who has tons of film on him? Interleague play presents us with interesting matchups and Im curious if this idea may influence anyone here. 

Pitcher in question is Verlander vs the brewcrew today. Not his first start against them but it is his first since Jun 21, 2009 aka over ten years (which im pretty sure is his only). Christian Yelich just graduated high school days before.

TN picks:

GSW 1H -4 4u to win 3.6

When Steph gets hot its for 3/4 game stretches and I think this offense opens up to help Steph out significantly without KD and hes gonna keep taking advantage.People are deservingly all over the Blazers and I think GSW is undervalued without KD. Steph and Klay shoot them to a 62ish point hald for this cover. 

Over 219 2u to win 1.8 Golden State carries the scoring 1h and Porrland will bring this over home after half. 

GL tn

Guess I shoulda took Bucks full game instead of 1h last night. Honestly either way I it was the wrong side so Im not as mad. 1-1 on the night for -1.7u. Coulda been worst.

2-1 +1.0 through the game 1s. Plays coming later. Curious on people's leans tonight. I can see this game going a couple different ways. Dont doubt the OG Warriors though. Obviously no bench but the same core of a 73 win team...

TN picks:

Mil -3.5 1H 3.5 U to win 3.

Under 219 2u to win 1.8

Goodluck tn everyone

As you said Elite teams cover game 1. I guess the question then is just how elite is this Bucks team? I guess we will find out tonight. I agree Raptors should take one of the games ats. Honestly with the theory that great teams cover game 1 and with what Giannis said about this game that this team will come out ready. Kawhi used his entire tank of gas game 7 (him and his 41 shots literally bailed them out every single possession) and I cant envision back to back 30+ shot games from him. Personally I think he comes out a bit slower himself trying to get more people involved. Because of this and Giannis' comment Im leaning Bucks 1H (if Kawhi doesnt need to turn it on til at half with them only down say 6 I think theyd take that.) 

I can see either team full game but I cant get past the fact that Bucks 1H might be the best play in this particular game (I usually prefer to take points myself but hey)
