Guaranteed Cappers

It's been a difficult series for a Phoenix Suns team that everyone was expecting to do well. They've looked outmatched in every single game and I don't believe that they'll look any better tonight. It's been the size and physicality of the Timberwolves that have been the key factors. 

Led by Anthony Edwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves have an extreme advantage with their two dominant center's in Karl-Anthony Towns & Rudy Gobert. The Suns haven't been able to handle the two of them all series long. Yes, they have a few amazing players in KD, DBook and Beal. However, no matter what they've done, it's just been too much for Phoenix to handle. 

The Timberwolves also come into this game with a very good record after an upset win as an underdog of any number (10-3 this season.) On the other hand, the Suns are just 8-14 as underdogs this year. Yes, this line has moved drastically from Game 3. But, I don't think it's moved enough. This play is on Minnesota to complete the series sweep. 

Score Prediction: 119-102 TWolves.

Marcus Stroman (2-1, 2.93 ERA) gets the nod for New York. He's been very solid this season to date and looks to keep it that way today. Even though the Yankees have now dropped a couple of games in their last few, they are still looking very strong overall (off massive victory last night.) Stroman has faced the Brewers a total of seven times, and owns a very strong 3-1 record w/ a 2.58 ERA against them. Look for another solid performance from the 32yr old righty.

On the other hand, I've got to give credit where credit is due. Milwaukee has done an excellent job this season so far. They added some much needed hitting to their team and now play well on both sides. Having said that, they have a young arm on the mound today in Tobias Myers (0-1, 1.80 ERA.) Yes, Myers pitched well in his MLB debut. However, he didn't really light up the stat sheet in the Minor's and I could see him having trouble against this Yankees lineup. 

Having said all of that, I believe that the value is on the Yankees here. They are 5-3 in series finale's this season and I expect them to make it 6-3 after tonight. The play is on NYY. 

Score Prediction: 5-1 Yankees.

ATP Madrid (Tennis) - Jakub Mensik vs Felix Auger Aliassime . 
Selection: Felix Auger Aliassime (MoneyLine) -125 . 

He may have slipped in World Rankings over the past year, but Felix Auger Aliassime looks to be playing his best tennis right now. He's coming off an excellent tournament in Munich, where he reached the Quarter-Finals. Now, he's entering this matchup off an awesome 6-0, 6-4 win against #19 seeded Adrian Mannarino. His opponent today, Jakub Mensik is coming off a big win himself. He defeated #9 seed Grigor Dimitrov in a gruelling three set match on Saturday. Having said that, the "gruelling" part of it could be something to watch. Longer matches tend to affect players in their next matches. Especially when they just beat a superior player. I've got the Canadian here, as he's already established himself as a really good player. 

Match Prediction: 6-4 . 6-4 FAA.
