Over 8 runs in Dodgers vs. Blue Jays (-110)
“The Blue Jays are not blinking in this World Series as the normal Dodger intimidation games don’t seem to be working. Toronto could easily have won these last two games at Chavez Ravine as the Jays have blocked out he Dodger Stadium factor, and LA can’t be quite as comfy with Blake Snell on the mound after he was roughed up in Game One,” legendary handicapper Bruce Marshall said. “Meanwhile, John Schneider is confident he can get five or so innings from Trey Yesevage, though the Blue Jays bullpen is again going to be asked to do some heavy lifting. Three of the four games already in this series have reached at least eight runs.” Back the Over at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
Pistons +1.5 vs. Magic (-110)
After a 30-win improvement last season, the Pistons have their sights set on contending in the East. Meanwhile, the Magic had a similarly transcendent 47-win season two years ago, but followed it up with a disappointing 41-win campaign last year. Both teams have underwhelmed a little bit early, with Detroit off to a 2-2 start and Orlando sitting at 1-3. However, the Pistons did win and cover as 2-point favorites at home in January and the model predicts that they cover in 59% of simulations on Wednesday. Back the Pistons at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
Trail Blazers -3.5 vs. Jazz (-105)
“We’re still figuring out how Phoenix was able to force OT at Utah on Monday. In the end all was well as the Jazz recovered for a 138-134 win helped greatly by 51 points from F Lauri Markkanen, who’s had a blazing start to the season as Utah tries to build a fortress out of the Delta Center. Yet we’ve also been impressed by the Blazers, who don’t look like they’re missing suspended HC Chauncey Billups one bit,” Marshall said. “Portland getting All-Star like production from F Deni Avdija (23.5 ppg), while Jerami Grant (22.5 ppg) looks like Sixth Man of the Year candidate, and vet G Jrue Holiday (17.8 ppg) proving he’s still got some petrol in his tank.” Back the Trail Blazers at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
