🎯 Pick 10 (4:05pm ET/1:05pm PT)

⚾ Cleveland @ San Francisco

The Giants have suffered two disappointing losses since adding Rafael Devers, managing only two runs per game. They’ll look to rebound today with ace Logan Webb on the mound. Meanwhile, Gavin Williams has struggled recently, allowing 11 hits with just 6 strikeouts over his last 10 innings pitched. By contrast, Webb has given up only 8 hits with 14 strikeouts across 13 innings in his last two starts.

  1. Gavin Williams – Over/Under 5.5 strikeouts
  2. José Ramírez – Over/Under 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs
  3. Rafael Devers – Over/Under 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs
  4. Jung Hoo Lee – Over/Under 0.5 strikeouts

⚾ NY Mets @ Atlanta

The Mets have dropped five straight games, including the last two to Atlanta. They may find a window of opportunity today given the ERA matchup (2.87 vs. 4.35), but Spencer Strider’s underlying numbers tell a different story: a 1.16 WHIP, 37 strikeouts in 31 innings, and just 12 walks. Clay Holmes, by comparison, has posted a 1.17 WHIP with 68 strikeouts and 25 walks across 78.1 innings.

  1. Clay Holmes – Over/Under 5.5 hits allowed
  2. Juan Soto – Over/Under 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs
  3. Brett Baty – Over/Under 0.5 hits
  4. Marcell Ozuna – Over/Under 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs
  5. Ronald Acuña Jr. – Over/Under 0.5 runs
  6. Alex Verdugo – Over/Under 0.5 strikeouts

🏆 Pick 5 Margin (8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT)

🏀 Indiana @ Oklahoma City

This might be the final basketball game of the season, so let’s set the stage—while hoping for a Game 7.

The Teams

  • Oklahoma City is one win away from its first NBA championship (not counting the 1979 Seattle SuperSonics). With a young core and elite defense, they’re already sparking “future dynasty” conversations.
  • Indiana, chasing its first NBA title (excluding ABA championships), must win tonight to force Game 7.

The Stars

  • Jalen Williams erupted for 40 points in Game 5.
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remained steady with 31 points.
  • Tyrese Haliburton suffered a calf injury and finished with just 4 points.
  • Pascal Siakam added 28, including a huge fourth quarter.

OKC needs its stars to stay hot, while Indy hopes Haliburton isn’t too limited and Siakam can replicate his heroics.

The Role Players

  • OKC’s bench has struggled on the road—except for Alex Caruso, who scored 20 in Game 4.
  • Bennedict Mathurin must return to Game 3 form (27 points), avoiding mistakes like those in Game 4 (8 points and bad fouls in the 4th quarter).
  • T.J. McConnell has been a difference-maker in short stints and could play a bigger role if Haliburton is limited.

The League

With ratings lagging due to small-market teams and rising stars, the league would love a Game 7. If Indiana falls short, the NBA still needs to capitalize on this series to build excitement around these promising rosters—because both squads could be Finals regulars for years to come.
