Red Sox vs Astros Free Pick June 17, 2017 – Jesse Schule

This is an 8* play on the LA Clippers.

Both the Clippers and the Rockets are 7-3 overall, and the two team meet in Houston tonight. While these teams have the same record, the number that really matters is the number of games that the Clippers have won when Kawhi Leonard has played. They are 7-0 when he plays, and 0-3 when he doesn't. You better believe he's playing tonight, and that's bad news for James Harden and the Rockets. Houston is the highest scoring team in the NBA averaging over 120 points per game. What has been problematic for the Rockets is that they have allowed opponents to average over 118 points per game. The Clippers have owned the Rockets, covering the spread in six of the last eight meetings. They are 4-1 ATS in their last five in Houston.

Take LAC.

This is an 8* play on [email protected] to go Under the total.

The Devils are coming off a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks, and 22 year old rookie Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 30-of-31 shots. With a record of 5-3-3 and a 2.93 GAA he has been far better than his counterpart Corey Schneider who is 0-4-1 with a 4.59 GAA. The Devils will host Ottawa tonight, and the Senators own the league's worst power play. The Devils aren't much better, ranking 26th converting on just over 13% of their power plays. Two of the league's worst teams with two of the least talented rosters might not be expected to score a lot of goals here. The under is 6-2 in Senators last eight overall, and the under is 6-2 in Senators last eight games as an underdog. The under is 8-3 in Devils last 11 games following a win. The under is 8-3 in Devils last 11 games following a win.

Take Under.

This is an 8* play on the Saint Louis Bilikens.

The Bilikens have won 17 of their last 19 home games, and they are coming off double digit wins over Valparaiso and FGSU. They have gotten off to good starts in both those games, leading by 22 at halftime against FGSU and leading by 11 at halftime in their win over the Crusaders. They host the Eastern Washington Eagles tonight, and the Eagles are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 non-conference games. The Eagles are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games versus a team with a winning home record. The Billikens are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games, and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall. This Saint Louis team is excellent defensively, and a home game against a team from an inferior conference should be an easy double digit win.

Take SLU.
