Game 1 of NBA Finals! (and afternoon baseball)
Two of the week’s biggest baseball series—Guardians vs. Yankees and Mets vs. Dodgers—wrap up today, and tonight marks the long-awaited start of the NBA Finals. It’s a full day of action, with the NBA Finals Game 1 tipping off just 90 minutes after the first pitch in Cleveland vs. New York. Set your screens and get your entries in early.
📺 Today's TV Games
- ⚾ New York Mets @ Los Angeles Dodgers –MLB Network
- ⚾ Cleveland Guardians @ New York Yankees – MLB Network
- 🏀 Indiana Pacers @ Oklahoma City Thunder – ABC
🎯 Today's Pick 10 (4:10pm ET/1:10pm PT)
⚾ NY Mets @ LA Dodgers
The Mets enter with a slight pitching edge, but Max Muncy has a strong track record against today’s starter David Peterson, and he’s been heating up lately. Muncy tends to capitalize after pitchers battle through the daunting top of the order: Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Teoscar Hernández, and Freddie Freeman. The Mets will try to replicate their May 25 win over Landon Knack, when they tallied 4 hits and 3 runs in 6 innings.
- Juan Soto – Over/Under 0.5 runs
- Pete Alonso – Over/Under 0.5 runs
- Freddie Freeman – Over/Under 0.5 runs
- Mookie Betts – Over/Under 0.5 runs
- Teoscar Hernández – Over/Under 0.5 runs
⚾ Cleveland @ NY Yankees
The Yankees have the upper hand in today’s pitching duel, with Max Fried (1.92 ERA) taking the mound. However, it was the offense that faltered last night, as New York was shut out by the Guardians. To turn things around, they’ll need to capitalize against Slade Cecconi (5.28 ERA), who has limited familiarity with this Yankees lineup—only five players have faced him, each with just one at-bat.
- Steven Kwan – Over/Under 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs
- Jhonkensy Noel – Over/Under 0.5 hits
- Aaron Judge – Over/Under 2.5 hits + runs + RBIs
- Cody Bellinger – Over/Under 0.5 strikeouts
- Max Fried – Over/Under 5.5 strikeouts
🏆 Pick 5 Margin (8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT)
🏀Indiana @ Oklahoma City
Basketball is back, and so are the props. The favored Thunder begin their NBA Finals run against the fast-paced Pacers, with tonight’s outcome likely hinging on defense. Can OKC maintain pressure for all 48 minutes? Can Indiana‘s perimeter defenders contain Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams—not to mention Chet Holmgren, Luguentz Dort, and Isaiah Hartenstein? Also worth watching: will Aaron Nesmith be fully mobile after his recent ankle tweak?
- Tyrese Haliburton – Points
- Pascal Siakam – Points
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – Points
- Jalen Williams – Points
- Chet Holmgren – Points
