In his last start Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez bounced back to register a win over the New York Mets. Still, he struggled a tad allowing eight hits which has pushed his WHIP to 1.52. Furthermore, the Nationals bullpen had its issues last night on Sunday night baseball against the Dodgers. Sometimes people can overlook a solid teams issues on the road. Monday marks the Nationals seventh straight road game which has shown as they’ve been .500 at 3-3. Grab the value on the Giants. 

In game three’s win over the Rockets the Minnesota Timberwolves showcased an extended arsenal of bench contribution. From a totals perspective this was expected to happen on the Rockets home floor in games one and two. Instead both totals fell short of the number. This has created prime value as tonight’s matchup should be the eye-opener over four games into the series. This will begin Rockets playoff totals nearing the 220 mark here forward. Take the over. 

Recognition of line movement in a playoff series is crucial. After a dominating game three win by the Jazz, oddsmakers curiously lowered the game four spread. It’s noteworthy and centered around the improbability of the Thunder winning the series if they sustain another loss. Expect the Thunder to be much more prepared for game four even as Billy Donovan tinkers with rotation minutes. Grab the Thunder.
