The Golden State Warriors will have their second opportunity to win a
second-straight NBA crown this Thursday night when they square-off
against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of this best-of-seven clash in
the NBA Finals. BetAnySports
has opened the Cavaliers as 2.5-point home favorites to force a Game 7
and the betting line for the total has been set at 208 points. The line
has held steady, but the total has dropped to 207 a few hours from game
time. Tip-off from Quicken Loans Arena is set for 9 p.m. (ET) and the
game will be broadcast nationally on ABC.



The Warriors had only lost once in 12 previous home games in this
season’s playoffs, but they came up short in Monday’s 112-97 loss as
5.5-point favorites on BetAnySports
closing line. They still hold the 3-2 edge in this series, but now they
will have to try and wrap things up on the road where they have gone a
very pedestrian 4-5 both straight-up and against the spread in nine
previous road games this postseason.



There is a reason why Stephen Curry was the unanimous choice as league
MVP this season. After lighting things up in Game 4 with 38 points while
connecting on seven of his 13 shots from three-point range, he
struggled on Monday night with just five three-point buckets on 14
attempts so as he goes so goes his team. Golden State also missed the
presence of Draymond Green, who was serving a one-game league suspension
in Game 5.



The Cavaliers were able to breathe some new life into this series with
Monday’s win and it was just the second time in the first five games of
this series that they were able to cross the 100-point mark. The total
in that game ended as a PUSH on BetAnySports’ closing 209-point line
after staying UNDER in three of the first four games. Cleveland returns
home with a SU 8-1 record in nine previous playoff games at Quicken
Loans Arena this season while going a profitable 7-2 ATS.



Both LeBron James and Kyrie Irving came up with a huge effort in Game 5
to keep this series alive. James added 16 rebounds and seven assists to
his 41 points on the night, while Irving connected on 17 of his 24 shots
from the field to match James with 41 points as well. Kevin Love
returned to the starting lineup after missing game 4 but he was pretty
much a non-factor with just two points and three rebounds.



Cleveland now has a legitimate shot to take this series the distance
with another win on Thursday night. However, my “best bet” in this game
is the UNDER 207 on BetAnySports’ total line with both sides stepping things up on defense.

They're the only two profitable teams in the American League East, and

Orioles (36-26, +9.68 betting units) and Boston Red Sox (36-26, +4.46
units) meet Wednesday night in the second of a three-game series at
Fenway Park. First pitch is at 7:10 PM ET on ESPN2.

Both teams will be at the back end of their starting rotations on
Wednesday. Third-year northpaw Kevin Gausman (4.33 FIP) is scheduled to
pitch for Baltimore, and looking to redeem himself after giving up five
runs to the Red Sox (+106 away) in a 6-2 loss back on May 31. Boston
responds with another third-year righty, knuckleballer Steven Wright
(3.20 FIP), who's in a serious groove this year. Wright pitched a
complete game on May 30 to beat the Orioles 7-2 and cash in at +108.



As long as they're getting good pitching, the Red Sox can win any game.
They're first in the majors in hitting at .839 OPS, dwarfing the very
powerful O's batting order at No. 4 overall (.785 OPS). Boston's relief
pitching has also performed better at 3.59 FIP to Baltimore's 3.83 FIP.

The second series of matches in Euro 2016 kicks off on Wednesday with Group A. Romania and Switzerland go head-to-head at noon ET at the Parc des Princes in Paris. France faces Albania at 3 PM ET at the Stade de Velodrome and with the hosts almost assured a win, Romania and Switzerland have everything to play for in this match.

Romania battled hard, but they ended their opener against France with a 2-1 loss. Bogdan Stancu scored a penalty for Switzerland, who gave the hosts everything they could handle and more, but they were beaten by a late Dmitri Payet winner.

Switzerland is tied with France atop Group A after a 1-0 win over Albania, but Switzerland failed to score after going up a man in the 36th minute. Fabian Schar found the back of the net after five minutes for Switzerland, who got off to a hot start, but couldn't find a second goal. They didn’t need it, but Switzerland has to play better to get the three points, which would essentially put them in the next round.

This will be the third meeting for these two as Switzerland pounded Romania 4-1 in a group match at the 1994 World Cup. Romania returned the favor with a 1-0 win in a May 2012 friendly.

The 2016 NBA Finals resume this Wednesday night with the Golden State Warriors going on the
road with a 2-0 series lead as one-point underdogs for Game 3.
BetAnySports has set the total line for this game at 206.5 after it
stayed UNDER in the first two games. Tip-off from Quicken Loans Arena is
set for 9 p.m. (ET) and the game will broadcast nationally on ABC.



Golden State closed as six-point home favorites in each of the first two
games of this series, but it did not really matter how high BetAnySports
set the spread given that the Warriors cruised to a pair of victories
by a combined 48 points. They put up 104 points in Game 1 and 110 in
this past Sunday’s win while holding the Cavaliers to fewer than 90
points each time. The total has now stayed UNDER in seven of their last
nine playoff games.



League MVP Stephen Curry has been somewhat quiet in these first two
matchups while players such as Sean Livingston and Draymond Green have
grabbed the spotlight as the leading scorers. Curry only had 11 points
in the series opener and he posted 18 points on Sunday while going
4-for-8 from three-point range. You get the feeling that he will have to
play a much bigger role to get his team a win on the road.



The Cavaliers rolled through their first three playoff series at 12-2
straight-up while going 9-5 against the spread, but that just shows you
how much of a gap in talent there really is between the Eastern and
Western Conference in the NBA. They went a perfect 7-0 SU on their home
court during this run while going a highly profitable 6-1 ATS. The total
stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in five of those seven games.



It would be hard to place all that much blame on LeBron James for his
team’s early hole given his numbers in those first two contests, but all
this does is hammer home the point that when the Cavaliers do not play
as a complete team they normally lose. They may also lose Kevin Love for
Game 3 after he left Sunday’s loss with a head injury. His status
remains day-to-day.



This could be a great spot to take Cleveland as a slight home favorite with BetAnySports,
but I am not all that thrilled betting against Golden State right now. I
went with the OVER in Game 2 and came up short, but I think both teams
find that scoring touch on Wednesday night so I am going that way again.
