MLB
Orioles Parlay of the Day: Gunnar Henderson to record a hit, run and RBI + Adley Rutschman to record a hit + Anthony Santander to record a hit + Ryan O’Hearn to record a hit + Grayson Rodriguez 6+ strikeouts + Orioles -2.5 + Orioles over 4.5 runs scored.
The heavy hitting O’s lineup will see Rays starter Zack Littell for the second time in a week. Littell allowed 11 hits in the first matchup, and the Orioles will get to him early and often as their lefty hitters have been white hot as of late, with O’Hearn and Santander both barreling at a high clip. The Rays strike out 9.00 times per game, the sixth highest per game in the league.
NBA
Jaylen Brown over 23.5 points.
Brown went 6-for-11 from the charity stripe in a blowout to fall just short last game. The Mavs will keep it closer in Game 2 and Brown will cruise to 24 points with aggressive shot selection.
Luka Doncic over 31.5 up to 35+ points.
Doncic wasn’t getting doubled in Game 1 and it worked for the Celtics. Kyrie Irving couldn’t hurt them, so I’d expect them to continue allowing Doncic to get his mid-range jumpers off. The Mavs will do enough to avoid a blowout in Game 2, so Luka will cross the 32-point mark.
