This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. The National League East is shaping up to be a great race and two teams involved square off for the series finale tonight. The Braves won last night to regain their 1.5-game lead over Philadelphia and they have taken seven of the first 11 meetings this season. Atlanta improved to 18-9 on the road which is the best road record in the National League but going against that is doable as it keeps the price down. We won with the Phillies in this series opener behind a solid pitching performance from Nick Pivetta and we are expecting another similar outcome tonight. Philadelphia is 6-2 in its last eight home games and it is 17-7 on the season and that .708 winning percentage is second best in all of baseball behind the Yankees. The Phillies are 8-2 in their last 10 games after scoring two runs or less in their previous game. Jake Arietta gets the ball for Philadelphia and he has been great in his first season with the Phillies as he has a 2.82 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in eight starts. He has allowed two runs or less in seven of those games and while the lone poor outing was against the Marlins, it was on the road. His home 1.07 ERA and home 0.83 WHIP are two of the best numbers in baseball. Atlanta counters with Luiz Gohara who is making his first start of the season after logging seven innings in the bullpen. He made five starts last September and was average with a 4.91 ERA and while he did have a quality outing against the Phillies, he got the loss and the Phillies are now 14-3 in their last 17 home games against left-handed starters. 10* (956) Philadelphia Phillies |

This is a play on the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. The Rockets snapped the Warriors 16-game home playoff winning streak last night so can the Cavaliers do the same to the Celtics nine-game home playoff run? The short answer is yes. While the home teams have dominated this series thus far, we are in store for a closer game after the first four games being decided by 19.3 ppg which means a strong chance for a road team to break through. Much has been said about the Cavaliers defense and how it is a liability and while there is no denying that, Cleveland needs its offense to play better in Boston. According to NBA Advanced Stats, the Cavaliers offense improved by a staggering 20.5 points per 100 possessions between Games One-Two and Games Three-Four and as a team, Cleveland shot 19.3 percentage points better from beyond the arc in its two series wins than in its two losses. The defense improved as well over the last two games, but it is the offense that needs to carry this team. The momentum is clearly with Cleveland now and it has the upper hand as Boston is a team that has thrived on youth this postseason and now suddenly looks disoriented without a go-to player and opposite a more veteran squad that has found a new attitude led by LeBron James. We mentioned yesterday that the pressure was on Golden St. despite being up 2-1 in its series and the pressure is now back on the Celtics here despite being back on their home floor. Being such a young and inexperienced team, that pressure will get to them tonight. 10* (707) Cleveland Cavaliers |

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. The Capitals kept their season alive for at least one more game with a 3-0 shutout victory on Monday as they put an end to the Tampa Bay three-game winning streak. Washington now has to take care of business on the road where it has been great this postseason with a 7-2 record, but we expect the challenge to be too much tonight. Washington goalie Braden Holtby is coming off his best effort of the series, allowing no goals on 24 shots but now the pressure is really on. He is 2-4 in Game 7s in his career and while he has not been a liability in most of those losses, he also has not exerted his will on a game like he did in Game Six. Tampa Bay was shut out for just the second time this season and we could see an offensive show tonight with a lot of that based on one player. After blazing through the start of the playoffs with five goals in his first five games, Nikita Kucherov has scored just once in the Lightning's last seven games. He needs to get his confidence back and we think that happens here. Between the pipes is Andrei Vasilevskiy who has had a solid run in this series as he has seen as least 30 shots in all six games. After allowing 10 goals in the first two games, he has allowed only two goals in each of the last four games with a potent .945 save percentage. Tampa Bay is 17-5 revenging a loss vs opponent of two goals or more this season and it falls into a situation where we play on any team revenging a loss where it got shut out, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .700. This situation is 72-45 (61.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (54) Tampa Bay Lightning |
