Guaranteed Cappers

We took the Yankees in Game 1 against the Twins, and we are taking them again in Game 2. The Yankees bats proved to be much for this Twins pitching rotation tallying 5 Runs on 13 hits and left 16 on base. The Twins are sending Pablo Lopez to the hill who has a winner in 3 straight and is due for some regression after pitching lower quality batting lineups in the Mariners, Red Sox and Angels. 4 Batters on the Yankees lineup are hitting .333 or better, including Juan Soto who .370 with 6 RBI and 3 HRs against Lopez. The Yankees are sending Marcus Stroman to the hill who has been impressive on the road this season with a 1-0 record and 3.52 ERA in 3 starts. He has good splits against this Twins lineup and will be throwing in favorable weather conditions. The Yankees are 21-9 against right-handed starters this season and the Twins are 10-11 against teams winning 54% or more of games this season. Take the Yankees ML here. -Joey Tron

I like this game between the Cavs and Celtics to go OVER in this Game 5 match up. The Cavs are going to have to keep up with the Celtics like they did in Games 2 and 4 if they want any chance at surviving this one. The Cavs bench is averaging 34 PPG showing their depth and ability to fill in the shoes of Jarrett Allen and Donovan Mitchell. The Celtics have had their way offensively this series scoring 106+ points in every game this series, including shooting over 40% from the field in both home games that they played. The Celtics are not going to take their foot off the gas and will play this one to the last minute as this is do or die for the Cavs. Boston is 23-14 to the over after allowing 105 points or less this season and the Cavs are 55-42 to the over when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons. I see a fast paced game start to finish Wednesday night at TD Garden. Play the OVER here. -Joey Tron

I like the Cardinals to win this game on the road against the Angels in an Inter League clash. The Cardinals are sending Lance Lynn to the hill who has had a average start to the year. He has allowed 4 ERs in 2 of his L3 starts however he has other great outings in between including a few starts with 3 ERs or less. The Angels are sending Griffin Canning to the hill who has really struggled in 2024 so far. He is 1-4 with 5.75 ERA and just 1 win in his L5 starts. He has a tendency to walk batters, averaging 4.2 B/9 his L4 games. The lack of run support from Canning's offense has haunted him all season and it will continue to haunt him Wednesday evening. The Cardinals are 4-2 as a road favorite and the Angels are 5-15 at home. Take the Cards ML here. -Joey Tron

I like the Nuggets to cover this spread on the road against the T-Wolves tonight. The Nuggets have now won 3 in a row in this series after falling in the first two and the pendulum has completely swung. The Nuggets have won the last 3 games by an average score of 16 points and have had no response for the Joker & Murray. Experience matters the deeper you get into the playoffs and this is evident with the young T-Wolves roster who are now in a BIG hole. Denver has one of the most complete rosters and will not take any chances tonight. The Nuggets are 8-4 ATS as a dog and the Timberwolves are 20-24 ATS at home. Take the Nuggets with the points here. -Joey Tron

I took the Yankees in the first 2 games against the Twins, and I am taking them again today to sweep the series. The Yankees bats have been on another level this series, out hitting the Twins 26-11, and I do not see their bats slowing this afternoon. The Yankees are sending Clarke Schmidt to the hill who has down great this year, going 4-1 with a 2.95 ERA. In his last 3 starts, he is 2-1 and just 4 ERs across 17 IP, while striking out 18. The Twins are sending Joe Ryan to the hill who has a rocky start to 2024. Joe Ryan is just 1-1 his last 3 starts and allowed 6 ERs across 19 IP. He has had his biggest struggles this season while pitching at home and the Yankees lineup, who has good splits against Ryan will not make it easy on him. The Yankees are 16-9 on the road and the Twins are 10-12 against teams winning 54% or more of games this season. Take the Yankees ML here. -Joey Tron
