Spencer Schultz (@ravens4dummies on Twitter/X) has joined PressBox to share his favorite plays each day.
MLB
Orioles over 4.5 runs.
The Orioles have the highest expected OBP and slugging percentage in baseball. They’re facing a starter who gets barreled often and pitches to contact.
Gunnar Henderson 2+ total bases. Gunnar Henderson to hit a home run.
With a righty on the mound who lets up hard contact, the white-hot Henderson will barrel a few balls up.
Adley Rutschman to record a hit + Gunnar Henderson 2+ total bases + Ryan O’Hearn 2+ total bases + Orioles -1.5.
Henderson and O’Hearn have hit Griffin Canning hard, are seeing the ball well and Grayson Rodriguez has cruised through assorted lineups.
NBA
Anthony Edwards over 25.5 points.
The Suns don’t have an answer for Edwards, who is locked in defensively and can get to the hoop whenever he wants.
Kevin Durant over 24.5 points.
Durant is relied upon to create shots against the Wolves outstanding defense. His ability to rise up in mid-range and beyond is the crutch against the Wolves.
Clippers -1.5.
The Mavs can’t process quickly enough defensively against the Clippers’ half-court offense. They don’t have an answer for the physical Ivica Zubac inside. The Clippers possess two of the best possible matchups to somewhat slow Luka Doncic.
NHL
NHL “both teams are good” parlays:
Panthers +2.5 + Lightning +2.5 + over 3.5 goals.
Predators +2.5 + Canucks +2.5 + over 3.5 goals.
New York Rangers -1.5.
The Rangers’ precision offensively and physicality defensively is too overwhelming for a feel-good wild card team in the playoffs, which are almost a different sport.
