    Kansas City Royals vs. Texas Rangers Preview and Predictions 05-24-2018

    24th May 2018 by Gracenote
    the texas rangers racked up the runs during a confidence-building series against the new york yankees and look to continue the production when they open a four-game series versus the visiting kansas city royals on thursday. texas belted seven homers and produced 23 runs while winning two of three from new york, including wednesday's 12-10 triumph.

    nomar mazara and ronald guzman each homered and were among four rangers - isiah kiner-falefa and jurickson profar were the others - to drive in three runs in wednesday's slugfest. guzman went deep in each game of the series, going 5-for-10 overall in the set, while profar has collected six rbis over his last two contests. kansas city posted a 5-2, 10-inning victory on wednesday to take two of three from st. louis and win a road series for the first time this season. "we needed that," royals catcher sal butera told reporters after delivering the tiebreaking two-run single in the 10th. "we fought hard all three games and guys did a great job on both ends, and our bullpen did a great job."

    pitching matchup: royals lh danny duffy (1-6, 6.88 era) vs. rangers rh austin bibens-dirkx (2017: 5-2, 4.67)

    duffy is having a poor season, and things really have unraveled over his last two starts as he has given up 14 runs and 15 hits - four homers - while issuing eight walks in just 7 1/3 innings. the 29-year-old already has served up 14 homers in just 51 frames after allowing a total of 13 over 146 1/3 innings last season. duffy is 1-2 with a 3.25 era in six career starts against the rangers.
    bibens-dirkx is being recalled to make his seventh career start in the rotation spot typically filled by matt moore, who went on the disabled list with a knee injury. the 33-year-old was 2-3 with a 3.72 era and 1.34 whip in eight turns for triple-a round rock, registering 32 strikeouts against eight walks over 38 2/3 innings. bibens-dirkx, who didn't face the royals last season - his first in the majors, recorded a porous 5.97 era over 12 home appearances (three starts) in 2017.
    walk-offs

    1. the rangers served up 12 homers in the series against the yankees.

    2. texas 3b adrian beltre (hamstring) took batting practice wednesday for the first time since being injured on may 13 but remains unlikely to return until early june.

    3. kansas city c salvador perez started at first base for the first time since 2013 in wednesday's game against the cardinals and belted his eighth homer of the campaign.

    prediction: rangers 7, royals 6

      New York Mets vs. Milwaukee Brewers Preview and Predictions 05-24-2018

      23rd May 2018 by Gracenote
      off to the best 50-game start in club history, the milwaukee brewers look to keep rolling when they open a four-game series against the visiting new york mets on thursday. milwaukee surged to the top of the national league central by winning 10 of 13 contests and opened its 10-game homestand with a three-game sweep of arizona.

      the brewers, who outscored the diamondbacks 14-4 and are poised to welcome back 17-game winner kyle davies and outfielder ryan braun from the disabled list on thursday, are trying not to get too far ahead of themselves. "this is the cubs' division until someone says otherwise," milwaukee third baseman travis shaw told reporters. "but we feel like we're in a good spot now. we're playing good. we'll try to keep it going this weekend." new york, which had ripped off four straight victories before dropping its last two to miami, won two of three from the brewers last month as part of its 12-2 start to the season. thursday's matchup marks the start of a rugged eight-game road trip for the mets, who will play four each at division leaders milwaukee and atlanta - the teams with the two best records in the nl.

      pitching matchup: mets lh steven matz (1-3, 4.42 era) vs. brewers rh zach davies (2-3, 4.24)

      after putting together back-to-back solid outings, matz turned in a clunker last time out versus arizona as he lasted only four innings while giving up four runs and six hits - including two homers. he allowed one run in each of his previous two turns, including a 2-0 loss to colorado in which he worked a season-high six frames. matz defeated davies and milwaukee on april 13 despite yielding four runs in 5 1/3 innings.
      davies has been out since april 29 due to rotator cuff inflammation but was pitching well at the time of his injury, surrendering four runs over 18 innings in a span of three starts. he was rocked in two of his first three turns to open the season, including a 4 1/3-inning outing against the mets in which he was tagged for five runs and two homers. asdrubal cabrera is 5-for-9 versus davies, but jay bruce has recorded just one hit in 15 at-bats.
      walk-offs

      1. brewers 1b jesús aguilar drove in three runs on wednesday, giving him nine rbis in his last five games.

      2. mets rhp jeurys familia suffered his fourth blown save on wednesday.

      3. braun (back), who has been out since may 13, was in a 3-for-29 rut at the time of his injury.

      prediction: brewers 6, mets 3

                  Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

                  Streaking:
                  Charlie Morton, Houston Astros (6-0, 1.94 ERA, $105)

                  Morton belongs in that group of Houston hurlers who are blowing away opponents in the batter’s box. He has 35 Ks in his last four starts and the Under is 4-0 during the same stretch. The Astros are 6-3 in his nine outings this season.

                  If you’re looking for someone a little less obvious for a streaking starter then check out Luis Castillo. The Cincinnati Reds are 3-0 in the righty’s last three appearances and he’s allowed just seven earned runs in his last 22 2/3 innings of work.

                  Slumping:
                  Danny Duffy, Kansas City Royals (1-6, 6.88 ERA, -$791)

                  Some might argue everyone is struggling in Kansas City these days, but Duffy stands out in a depressing group of underachievers. The Royals are 1-9 in his 10 starts this season and only three other MLB starters (Homer Bailey, Clayton Kershaw and Jose Urena) have cost bettors more money.

                  Total bettors take note: the Over is 5-1 in his last six trips to the bump.

                  Thursday’s Top Trends

                  *The Pittsburgh Pirates are 5-14 in Ivan Nova’s last 19 road starts. They’re +115 underodgs at Cincinnati.
                  *The Toronto Blue Jays are 1-7 in their last seven home games. They’re -110 faves against the visiting Halos.
                  *The Under is 8-2 in the White Sox last 10 games and 12-3-1 in Lucas Giolito’s last 16 appearances.
                  *The Seattle Mariners are 5-0 in their last five games overall.
                  *The Under is 27-9-4 in the last 40 games between the Astros and Indians.
                  *The Boston Red Sox are 9-2 in their last 11 games against the Tampa Bay Rays. They’re -136 road faves vs. the Rays today.

                  Weather Watch

                  Thursday looks like a beautiful day for baseball all across the country with clear skies and light winds in the forecast today.

                  Ump of the Day

                  Tom Hallion: Over bettors have taken a beating the last two days of MLB play with the Under going 23-6-1. Seeing Tom Hallion behind home plate in tonight’s Red Sox-Rays game should cheer total players up. The Over is 5-1 in his last six games calling balls and strikes and 23-11 in his last 34 games behind home plate.

                      NBA Western Conference Final Game 5 betting preview and odds: Warriors at Rockets

                      Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets (+1, 219)

                      Series tied 2-2.

                      Staring at a 10-point deficit heading into the fourth quarter and a 3-1 series hole, the Houston Rockets came alive and reestablished homecourt advantage in the Western Conference finals. The Rockets will try to maintain that advantage and carry some momentum back when they host the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 on Thursday.

                      Houston allowed 126 points on 52.2 percent shooting in a 41-point loss in Game 3 but came out with a renewed passion on the defensive end in Game 4 and held the Warriors to 12 points in the fourth quarter to earn a 95-92 victory. "That was the last piece for us to get over the hump and becoming one of the best teams in the league," swingman Trevor Ariza told reporters after the win. "How we defend, how we pay attention to detail and how we go about playing defense. Tonight, in the fourth quarter when it mattered, we got stops. It let us get back in the game, it let us take the lead and it let us win." Golden State coach Steve Kerr blamed fatigue for his team's poor fourth-quarter performance but conceded that the Rockets were the better team down the stretch. "I felt like in the fourth quarter we just ran out of gas," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "Scored 12 points. Tried to buy a little rest for our guys, but yeah, they just outplayed us in the fourth and they earned it."

                      TV: 9 p.m. ET, TNT

                      SERIES PRICE (PER WESTGATE LV SUPERBOOK):



                      LINE HISTORY: The Rockets opened as 1-point home favorites for Game 5 and as of Wednesday night that number has jumped the fence to Warriors -1. The total hit betting boards at 220 and has been dropped slightly to 219.

                      WHAT SHARPS SAY: "It’s rare to find a No. 1 seed taking the court as a home dog, yet the Rockets are doing just that Thursday night against the Warriors. For what it’s worth its happened only 9 times in conference finals since 1996, with the hosts going just 3-6 SU and 3-5-1 ATS. Meanwhile, Houston’s recent 7-2 SU and ATS mark as a playoff home dog says otherwise. Batten down the hatches." - Marc Lawrence.

                      INJURY REPORT:

                      Warriors - SG K. Thompson (Probable, Knee), SF A. Iguodala (Questionable, Knee), SG P. McCaw (Early June, Back), SF C. Boucher (Out Indefinitely, Ankle).

                      Rockets - No injuries to report.

                      MATCHUP CHART:



                      ABOUT THE WARRIORS (68-28 SU, 41-54-1 ATS, 44-51-1 O/U): Golden State held Houston to 39 percent shooting in Game 4 but surrendered 34 points in the second quarter and 25 in the fourth, and the inconsistency is a matter of concern. "I think we just stop trusting our defense at certain points in the game," power forward Draymond Green told reporters. "We've got to trust our defense, trust the game plan, and stick with it." The Warriors shot 39.3 percent from the floor in the loss and All-Star shooting guard Klay Thompson was held to 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting, giving him an average of 10.3 points over the last three games after going off for 28 in Game 1.

                      ABOUT THE ROCKETS (75-21 SU, 49-46-1 ATS, 39-56-1 O/U): Houston needs two wins over the next three games to knock the Warriors off their three-year reign as Western Conference champs and gets to play two of those three at home, though that might not matter. "We knew we needed it, but we said all along with both teams home court doesn't really matter," point guard Chris Paul told reporters after the Game 4 victory. "Both teams have the ability to win on the road. We had to prove that to ourselves. Weathering the storm, the runs that they made, and knowing that now we get a chance to go back home, we knew we had to get at least one win here. We got it, so now it's a three-game series." Paul battled a foot injury in Game 4 but turned in his best scoring effort of the series with 27 points on 10-of-20 shooting.
