YESTERDAY: 1-3 (-20 units)
APRIL: 2-7 (-53 units)
ALL TIME: 56-57-4 (-9.7 units)

RECAP: The only one to have our backs was Lebron James. The Blackhawks never showed up and got worked this series. It is embarrassing to talk about. San Jose almost had the win but couldn't score in over time. We will move on and make it back today.

Kluber and Quintana. On paper you would think these two pitchers would be in for a low scoring game. I believe sooner rather than later they will get to that point. However both of these pitchers have had slow starts. Both pitchers have ERAs over 6.00 to start the season. If you are a fan of either of these clubs I wouldn't be too concerned about the pitcher. They are both veterans and the season is just getting started. When it comes to betting however, I am going to follow the trend. I am looking for at least one of these pitchers to continue their slow start. That should allow for the over to cover easily. Take the over in runs here.

In order to keep the game close Russell Westbrook has to be on fire every night. In the first game of the series we saw a Westbrook who couldn't stop turning the ball over. In game two he was able to calm down have a crazy game. He had 51 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds... and they still lost the game. I know they are on their home floor, but I don't know how much better Westbrook can play than that. I guess you can argue he went 17 of 43 and he may make more of his shots in this game. I just feel when you put up 43 shots your field goal percentage is going to go down. They need Westbrook to keep shooting, I just don't know if he can pull out games against a team that is far deeper than his. Any other season Harden would be a lock for MVP and he has a much more talented team around him. Also OKC is not a three point shooting team. They may be able to play well in the paint against a Houston team that is weak defensively inside. This won't matter if Houston is hitting their threes, which they shoot more than anyone else. It may be a close one tonight but I feel Houston should win this one. Take the points for comfort.
