    Analysis

    Can't say I like this as much as I did yesterday's game, but Orioles starter Kyle Bradish has not been sharp this season. Consider a Ben Rice Over 1.5 total bases prop prop (3-for-5 with a dinger off him career). What I may do is have a little fun and play this with a Kentucky Derby choice -- and it won't be favored Renegade on the post. The betting favorite on race day hasn’t won at Churchill Downs since 2018 (Justify). I like Further Ado at 6/1. There is my horse racing knowledge for 2026, but you will definitely want to read our picks from the excellent Gene Menez, Jeff Hochman and others for that. They seem to win every year.

    Picked: May 1 @ 2:36pm

    Analysis

    I’m not entirely convinced that Boston wins this one outright. Philly has a three-headed monster going on right now: Tyrese Maxey had 30 in Game 5, Joel Embiid had 33 in Game 6, even Paul George had 23 in one of them and 16/9/7 in the other. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown aren’t shooting well right now, Philly has really shortened its bench, Boston seems like it’s trying to figure it out.

    V. Edgecombe
    Over 5.5
    -114
    Rebounds
    Picked: May 1 @ 10:26pm

    Analysis

    FanDuel. VJ Edgecombe leads the 76ers in total rebounds these playoffs, averaging 7.0 per game, and clearing this line in four of six games. It’s a great matchup for the rookie as the Celtics shoot a ton of three-pointers, which typically produce longer rebound chances, a plus for wings, such as Edgecombe. VJ is also not typically matched up defensively against Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown, leaving him free to crash. Look for the rookie to contribute on the glass in Game 7.
