Here is a complete look at line move and baseball series betting for this weekend. Take a minute to review all the betting trends, our free picks and predictions to see what we are thinking about today. See you back here next week.
NBA – (545) TORONTO at (546) MILWAUKEE 8:35 ET TNT
The Game 1 total of 218 was 10 points too high and sportsbooks lowered it to 214. The public has not agreed and moved it up to 216.5. I'm going to agree with the oddsmakers as both teams have shot below their season shooting percentage in six of their last seven games. I'll say the oddsmakers are spot on at 214 and side with the UNDER.
Betting Trend - 70% backing Over
Doug's VPID Take - Play Under
MLB – (901) CHIC. CUBS at (902) WASHINGTON 7:05 ET WGN, MASN (side and total)
The Chicago Cubs have blown two leads at Cincinnati and lost the series and are a falling underdog at Washington. The Cubs have gone from +115 to +145 road underdogs, either because they will have issues with the Nationals Max Scherzer (2-4, 3.64 ERA) or there road bullpen ERA 5.56 will flare up again. At the same time, the total has gone from 7.5 to 8. After being smoking hot, the Cubs offense has cooled without Anthony Rizzo and Ben Zobrist out, down to 2.9 RPG in their last seven tries. Scherzer has 2.45 ERA against the Cubs, while Cole Hamels is at a 2.67 ERA in 37 starts vs. the Nats. Washington's bullpen is actually worse than the Cubs, making the Over a possibility, but I'll lean with Chicago with Mad Max and friends 1-6 as a favorite.
Betting Trend - 52% backing Under, 52% on Chicago
Doug's VPID Take - Play Over, lean Chicago
